Joy Reid Does Some Fake News

18th January 2018

Read it.

Several journalists and liberal activists criticized National Review author David French for allegedly consoling conservatives that if there was an attack on a U.S. city, at least only liberals would die.

The outrage obscured the fact that National Review never mentioned anything about politics, and hardly could be interpreted as consolation to conservatives.

The firestorm started after Newsweek posted a write-up of French’s article claiming the conservative National Review “is telling its readers not to worry about a potential nuclear strike because they live in America’s suburbs and countryside.” That article was reposted by Raw Story, which then made the rounds through liberal Twitter.

MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid found the Newsweek post and expanded the accusations, summarizing French’s thesis with a fabricated quote to her 1 million followers.

“We have truly entered the age of insanity when the conservative argument in favor of risking nuclear war is, ‘don’t worry, it will only kill Democrats and minorities.’ Shame on you, @DavidAFrench,” Reid said in a now deleted tweet.

She could just have said ‘We been wrong’ and left it at that.

UK Independent: Murders by White Supremacists in US More Than Doubled in 2017

18th January 2018

Read it.

Murders committed by white supremacists more than doubled in the US last year, accounting for the majority of extremist killings, according to a report.

Far-right radicals were responsible for 20 of the 34 extremist murders in 2017, said the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

Eighteen of those were carried out by white supremacists, who killed twice as many people as Islamic fundamentalists, the civil rights group’s Centre on Extremism said.

Eighteen. For the entire United States. Wow. What a crime wave.

Compare this to the murder rate in the city of Chicago: 650 in 2017, many of them black people shooting black people.

The deadliest extremist attack of 2016, however, was linked to Islamic extremism. Sayfullo Saipov, the man accused of killing eight people with a truck in New York in November, is said to have had connections to Isis.

But that didn’t rate mention in the headline, maybe because murders by Muslims aren’t really news.

The New York Times List Of Donald Trump’s “Racist” Quotes Is Garbage  ‘In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s efforts to bring black and white America together, the New York Times has chosen to stoke arguments over race by amassing a collection of allegedly racist quotes by Donald Trump.

Feminist Scholar Analyzes History Of Pelicans And ‘Racialized, Sexual Violence’

I am not making this up.

Logan O’Laughlin, a gender studies graduate student at the University of Washington, conducted a lecture titled “Queer Toxic Ecologies: Analyses and Implications of the Pelicans of the BP Oil Spill” at the University of British Columbia.

The workshop description explains that oil-stained pelicans represented the massive impact of the BP spill.

“But what do these pelican images tell us about gender, race, and sexuality in ecological contexts?” O’Laughlin asked in the description. “Utilizing feminist discourse analysis of pelicans in post-spill popular media and historical analysis of pelicans as the state mascot of Louisiana, this presentation articulates how this bird is symbolically and materially implicated in a history of racialized, sexual violence.”

Something tells me this guy is ‘gender fluid’.

What do Trump, Obama, and Lindsey Graham have in common?

Paul Mirengoff of PowerLine blog finds that his bullshit alarm has gone off.

don’t know whether President Trump called any countries “s***holes” yesterday. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if he disparaged certain countries, as is his wont, and he may well have done so profanely.

If he did, and if doing so hurt America, then Sen. Durbin and others in the room should have kept Trump’s statement to themselves. No patriotic American would hurt this country’s international standing just to embarrass the president or in the hope of gaining a little leverage in negotiations (which, I’m pretty sure, Durbin has failed to do).

But patriotism has never been Dick Durbin’s long suit. During the Bush administration, he compared American soldiers to Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot. (See video below).

Cry Wolff! And Let Slip the Hawgs of War

10th January 2018

The chief advantage of the Wolff book for the DemLegHump Media is that it allows them to insult Trump under the guise of ‘just reporting on what the book says’. That will keep it popular until they realize that, no, it won’t ‘drive Trump from office’ so they jump to the next lilypad in the swamp.

It will be a best-seller for a while because there are a lot of people out there who hate Trump and this is $20 worth of confirmation bias, cheap at the price. ‘See! It’s right there in a book! Told you so!’ Ann Coulter has been riding the reciprocal of that wave for years. (Somebody get that girl some bacon. She looks anorexic.)

But in the long run it won’t matter. There were a spate of books that came out during Bill Clinton’s tenure about all of the chicks he boffed and claiming that the was running drugs through Mena while he was governor, and nobody remembers that stuff except for experienced haters like myself. Certainly Millenials won’t; when something scrolls off of their Twitter feed it falls right in the Memory Hole.

This whole effort, on Wolff’s part and the DemLegHump Media’s part, is still an attempt to play football while Trump is playing Call of Duty. Career politicians, even those who came late to the game like the Blessed Ronald Reagan, work within a structure where certain people’s opinions count and other people’s opinion’s don’t, and on that playing field the Democrats have been running downhill since Roosevelt.

Trump doesn’t know and doesn’t care what the Career Politician Thing To Do is. Those are conditioned reflexes that he never developed. He would make a great Bond Villain — you can never believe what you hear and only half of what you see, and whenever he offers to hold the football so you can kick it (as he did during the DACA meeting) it’s usually a good idea to give it a second thought. Watch the movie Where Eagles Dare if you want to know how things are going to develop these next three years. (Hint: Trump is played by Richard Burton. I’m hoping that Republicans can be as quick on the uptake as Clint Eastwood but I’m not optimistic.)

I have to agree with Scott Adams that the next President will be the biggest let-down imaginable; Trump is going to be an impossible act to follow.

Professor Argues Asians Are Guilty of ‘Colorblind Racism’

9th January 2018

Read it.

And that’s the worst kind of racism there is!

An Asian American Studies professor at the University of Illinois says that interactions between Asian American students and international Asian students carries the risk of reinforcing so-called “colorblind racism.” Soo Ah Kwon says that students reinforce that form of racism in their attempts to reach out to their international counterparts.

I am not making this up.

“We problematize this schema not only because it places undue responsibility upon Asian American students but [because] it also renders the experiences of racial marginalization and discrimination invisible for international and domestic racial minority students,” writes Kwon.

God forbid that a schema go unproblematized. Women and minorities hardest hit, etc. etc.

Kwon says “colorblind racism” happens when people do not take race into account when confronting issues, which she argues is problematic because it ignores “structures of power that privileges whiteness and white supremacy.”

All racism, all the time. Got it. Martin Luther King got suckered by that one, obviously.

That would be fun. Trump would wipe the floor with her. I doubt that Putin would be impressed by crying.

“People of America! Look under your chair….”  And you will find a HUGE tax bill. Yeah, that will work.

How would Oprah respond to a terrorist attack? Hugs all around, is my guess. No, thanks.

Donald Trump book ‘will end his presidency’, says author of explosive Fire and Fury exposé  Oh, I think not.

Battle for gay rights in small-town Kentucky election is a symbol of Donald Trump’s raging culture war  Well, not’s not ‘Donald Trump’s raging cultural war’, since the war existed before he came along and he has shown no impulse to ‘fight’ any such ‘cultural war’; he’s just the most recent proglodyte verbal piñata. Calling it ‘Trump’s cultural war’ is like blaming Poland for starting WWII.

Donald Trump is more sinister than Richard Nixon, says Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg  In other words, he’s likely to get more ‘Republican stuff’ done than Reagan. But we knew that.

Bernie Sanders Releases Odd Videos Rich Men Asking for More Taxes

5th January 2018

Read it.

All of which is irrelevant, because they’re asking for an increase in ordinary income tax rates, and none of them make their money as wages or other ordinary income.

The reason Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary is because his money comes from capital gains from the sale of stock.

If you tax a guy who’s making a million a year at 90%, he still nets $100,000; if you do the same for somebody making $100,000, he winds up with $10,000. Rich people don’t care how much the income tax rate is because they never notice it — it’s all numbers on the page to them. What it DOES do is hit the almost-millionaires; you know, the guys who, if they have some money in their pocket, might be competing with a Patriotic Millionaire for a seat at a tony restaurant or a lift ticket at Aspen or a slot at a Monaco marina.

Of course, if they REALLY WANTED TO PAY MORE TAX, they could just send a check to the IRS. I’m sure the Treasury would be happy to get it. But they never do that, do they? So it’s not just that they’re not taxed enough, it’s that EVERYBODY isn’t taxed enough. (See explanation above.)

‘Madness’ — CNN’s Brian Stelter Claims Trump Is Mentally Unfit For Office  After all, it’s all they’ve got.

After Trump’s First 2018 Tweets, CNN’s Stelter Predicts Year of ‘Madness’  One of the distinguishing characteristics of ‘CNN analysts’ is that they apparently can’t recognize trash talk when they see it. They need to try to keep up.

Barack Obama’s ‘best songs of 2017’ playlist is another reminder of stark differences to Donald Trump  Yeah. Trump gets shit done, Obama creates playlists. Listen to some of the crap on his playlist; once the brain lesions heal, you’ll see why Obama couldn’t get anything done.

North Korea crisis latest: Donald Trump has no nuclear button despite claiming his was ‘bigger’ than Kim Jong-un’s  C’mon, boy! Fetch the stick!

Hillary’s Spokesman Calls For Trump To Be Banned From Twitter Over Nuke Tweet  Somebody needs to remind Hillary that (a) she didn’t win and (b) even if she’d won her dreams of a Soviet-style dictatorship wouldn’t have worked.

Bush Administration Lawyer Demands ‘Psychologically Unfit’ Trump Be Removed From Office  C’mon, boy! Fetch the stick!

This guy seems to think he’s qualified to discuss ‘Trump’s Profound Sexual and Masculine Insecurities‘:

POLL: Trump’s Numbers Slipping In Key Battleground State  Although there’s no evidence that Trump gives a shit.

Morning Mirror: Hillary Clinton Aides Mock Trump For Being A Fatty  Trump may want to point out that he may be fat but he can go on a diet, but Hillary is going to be an ugly bitter old woman for the rest of her life. But he probably won’t; he’s a much nicer guy than I am.

CNN Commentator: Trump, GOP Need To Come To Dems With ‘Open Hands And Open Heart’  One of the distinguishing characteristics of troglodytes is that they act as if they won even when they lose. (And too often Republicans buy into it.) Fortunately, Trump is not that stupid.

CNN Op-Ed: Trump Has ‘Apparent Desire’ For ‘A Particular Racial And Ethnic Balance’  Absolutely no evidence for that, of course, but since he’s The New Hitler it just HAS TO BE that way. When the race card is the only one you’ve got in your hand, that’s the one you play.

‘View:’ U.S. on ‘Slippery Slope’ to Stoning Gays Like In Iran  Only if Muslims take over, with which Democrats would be totally cool (for about five minutes).
