When a Palestinian terrorist drove a truck into a crowd of Israeli soldiers Sunday morning the headlines from major media outlets pinned the blame squarely on the truck, avoiding headlining the story as a terrorist attack.

Well, since we don’t have any concentration camps now that FDR is gone, perhaps we could send her to Iran instead; presumably, for a lesbian Marxist, the experience would be much the same.

Either way, problem solved.

The Internet – or the portions of it that I frequent – has lately become somewhat exercised (and among my friends rather entertained) by the news that Simon and Schuster has a quarter-million book deal with one Milo Yiannopoulos, leading to much frothing at the mouth in certain circles, as noted at the Passive Voice

Of course, Passive Guy kindly links to the original Guardian article which – surprise! – wasn’t written by our favorite village person of alternative intellect or whatever the current approved terminology is. No, the Grauniad’s latest effort is by a gentleman who is apparently in charge of the Chicago Review of Books, and who wishes it known to all and sundry (can you say virtue signaling? I knew you could) that his eminent publication will not be reviewing any S&S books.

…

Presumably all the Grauniad’s readers know who constitutes “the literary world” – namely their august selves. There are some nonconformist souls who happen to think that the definition is a bit broader and includes all authors, all publishers, and even (GASP!) readers. Leaving this question of terminology aside, take note of the description of Mr Yiannopoulous as “America’s most infamous internet troll”. Five words. Damn near as many lies. He’s British, he’s not a troll, internet or otherwise, he’s not infamous despite having a certain amount of notoriety, and he’s certainly not the most infamous anything I can think of right now.

NYT restaurant critic Pete Wells wrote a scathing zero-star review of one branch of LocoL in California and has received a backlash as a result – some people have even canceled their subscriptions to the paper.

Part of the reason people have responded so strongly is that LocoL is a restaurant with honourable intentions – the idea behind the mini-chain is to offer good quality, healthy food at affordable prices to some of the poorest, most neglected neighbourhoods of the US.

…

Fans of the restaurant jumped to LocoL’s defence, arguing the critic had been unnecessarily harsh.

“Lovely takedown piece on a small company genuinely trying to make underserved communities better through food, innovation and employment,” commented one person on Facebook.

There is the ‘progressive’ mind in a nutshell (emphasis on the ‘nut’): If a restaurant is founded on Politically Correct principles, then it doesn’t matter whether the food is any good.

On the other hand, any tendency for someone at the New York Times to engage in Actual Journalism is good news. (As is anything that tends to get people to cancel their subscriptions, I say, but that’s just me.)

You simply can’t make this up. The mood was grim on Wednesday’s Hardball as MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Mother Jones editor David Corn, and New York Times columnist Frank Bruni wallowed in how President-elect Donald Trump created a landscape where the news media is so distrusted that people might soon not trust movie times in newspapers.

From the abstract:

This article speaks to a post-human feminist museology. It argues that considerations of a feminist museology would benefit from engaging with post-human feminist dialogues currently unfolding within academia. Dynamic political landscapes and global circumstances challenge dualist paradigms. Theorizations of museums are not exempt from these challenges. Critiques of androcentricity indicate that feminist theorizations have never fully centred on “the human”, but always already contextualized how we affect the world, and how the world affects us. Discussions in this article follow Barad’s agential-realist theorization of the material-discursive practices that shape our understandings in and of the world, and Haraway’s notion of diffraction that engages the material and re-tools recordings of object histories as entangled human and non-human processes that can be taken apart and reassembled, making different possibilities possible. The article demonstrates that museological alternatives that emerge from conversations about entanglements not only aim to move beyond the paradigms they have been circling within for so long, but towards a re-thinking of museology and cultural heritage museums. Thus, considerations of a feminist post-human museology re-imagine museums as entangled becomings that make different possibilities possible.

Forget all the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the left. That’s just for show. Remember that the left was never very enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton, and are not sorry to have seen her lose. Trump’s victory, however, provides the left with something much more important that patronage in Washington DC: it provides them with the supposed evidence to bolster their essential hatred and contempt for America, and endless opportunities to proclaim and parade their supposed moral superiority over their fellow citizens.

Everhart, a minister of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), led her piece, “Our culture of purity celebrates the Virgin Mary. As a rape victim, that hurts me,” by setting up her theory about the apparent distortion of the Virgin Mary: “Church culture tends to be fixated on sexual purity year-round, but during Advent, I’m tempted to blame it on the Virgin Mary. After all, she set an impossibly high bar. Now the rest of us are stuck trying to be both a virgin and a mother at the same time.”

Presbyterians aren’t what they used to be, apparently. She probably things that TULIP refers to a flower.

Leftists lie. It’s what they do. They talk a great fight but when push comes to shove they fold like a cheap towel.

Mark Steyn lays it out.

After a brief trip out of the country, I return to find America’s elites playing some sort of Chinese Whispers drinking game with a vat of anti-freeze. Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, has doubled down on his accusation that Donald Trump was in on Putin’s “hacking” of the election.

In fact, the only presidential nominee who knew of it was Barack Obama, who had it brought to his attention over a year ago, back when the experts were assuring us that Trump wouldn’t make it to Iowa and New Hampshire. Obama kept the news of Putin’s alleged hacking to himself. So Mr Earnest is now accusing Trump of doing exactly as his boss did. Except that (take another slug of anti-freeze) Earnest’s evidence that Trump was in on the shadowy “conspiracy” is that a few months back Trump publicly invited Putin to release Hillary’s unseen emails. So Trump and Putin’s secret plan to subvert American democracy was so sophisticated they announced it to the world. That’s how cunning they are. We’re gonna need more anti-freeze.

Read it.

RESIST!

That one word has become the favorite slogan of leftists following Donald Trump’s electoral victory, and it has only increased in usage since The Washington Post’s Friday report on CIA claims the Russian hacked emails to help the current president-elect win.

Odd that, during the years when Communism was the Flavor of the Month and the Soviet Union actually represented an existential threat to America, nobody on the American Left thought The Russian Threat was anything more than a fantasy — yet now, when Russia may be an enemy state but certainly isn’t trying to take over America any more, it’s a Big Deal. I wish they would make up their minds.

Of course, the only thing the ‘Russian hack’ did was allow us to peer into the fetid swamp that was the Hillary campaign; that affected the election to the extent that it allowed people to peer behind the curtain at the sausage being made, and for that, if the ‘Russians’ had anything to do with it, they deserve our thanks. But, of course, when it’s the Democrat ox being gored, it’s more important to punish the whistleblower than to fix the problem thus revealed. Edward Snowden, take note.

Just because that strategy failed miserably in stopping the election of Donald Trump hasn’t prevented a rag-tag group of performers (including alumni of The West Wing, M*A*S*H*, and 1990s pop electronica) from making one last attempt at a viral video directed at the 538 Electoral College electors.

It’s been more than a month since the November 8 election, and liberals are still struggling to find a way to make Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton the winner of this year’s presidential contest.

One of those advocating the (s)election of the former secretary of state is Alan Gilbert — the John Evans Professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies in the University of Denver – who declared on Sunday: “In any other country, the U.S. State Department would declare the presidential election results a hoax: Clinton won initial exit polls — usually dead accurate — in four swing states.”

I suggest a new ter: Reality Denier — for those who JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HILLARY LOST.

Steve Sailer gives us a peek behind the curtain.

We need some new conceptual categories to complement Fake News, such as Lame News: articles that have been intentionally hamstrung to avoid triggering Social Justice Warriors. Here’s a factually correct and somewhat informative New York Times article about a hippie town in British Columbia.

…

But the first thing that has been cut out of the article is any direct mention that this is another example of Leftwing White Flight. You and I are familiar with the concept (e.g., Portland, OR and Portland, ME), and thus we can notice that almost everybody in the article fleeing to remote Nelson is white. But most poor dumb NYT readers are clueless that there is such a Thing as Leftwing White Flight and this article isn’t going to bring up a conceptual category that would make them uncomfortable.

Second, why are all these nice white people unable to afford to live in Vancouver anymore? Well, you know and I know it’s because of Canada’s massive legal immigration levels causing Asian immigrants’ demand for housing in Vancouver to drive prices through the roof: the Law of Supply and Demand applies to immigration-related realities, just as it applies to everything else. But if you do a text search for “MIGR” you won’t see any words like “immigration” or “migrants” in the article.

The glut of “fake news” filling the web doesn’t make it any easier. America’s insatiable appetite for quick headlines and prior-confirming news feeds has made it all but impossible to identity that pesky thing we like to call “truth.”

This is especially so when it comes to the progressive penchant for histrionics.

Take a recent Huffington Post confessional for instance. “How I Ended Up in a Psych Ward on Election Night,” written by 38-year-old science journalist and Hillary superfan Benjamin Ryan, details how political fandom can go awry. Ryan, who looks so insanely metro even gays would call him a faggot, actually experienced suicidal thoughts on Election Day when his queen was felled by the gruff man’s-man Donald Trump.

The Reductio ad Hitlerum (see also Godwin’s Law) has been a standard tactic of argumentation by left-leaning folks for a number of decades. Ever since the presidency of George W. Bush — and perhaps going all the way back to Ronald Reagan — it has been the primary method of dealing with any opinions even slightly to the right of those held by the people who employ it.

With the election of Donald Trump, the lefties are falling all over themselves to validate Godwin’s Law whenever they possibly can. If Nigel Farage was the Political Figure Most Often Depicted as a Nazi in 2016, surely Mr. Trump will win that coveted prize for 2017.
