When Liberal Media Narratives Blow Up

13th November 2021

Read it.

Today it’s Kyle Rittenhouse. Not long ago it was young Nicholas Sandmann. And, of course, for four years or so it was the Trump-Russia collusion business. What do these three episodes have in common? That would be the fact of a wildly untrue liberal media narrative.

New Jersey Democracy Died In Darkness?

12th November 2021

Read it.

At The Washington Post, when Democrats are kicked unceremoniously out of office, it can only mean one thing. Democracy died in darkness.

Take Stephen Sweeney, the powerful Democrat leader of the state Senate in New Jersey. Absolutely no one thought he would lose to a Republican who was a trucker who had a tiny campaign treasury.

‘Messaging’ Is Difficult When Your Message Makes No Sense

7th November 2021

Read it.

Democrats struggle with “messaging,” because their message doesn’t make any sense. Critical Race Theory is not taught in schools, and parents shouldn’t be allowed to stop it from being taught in schools. It’s wrong to give experimental vaccines to dogs, and all children should be required to get a COVID vaccine despite the lack of research. Lack of minority representation in American culture is proof of our underlying racism, and we should remove all minority images from everything from baseball teams to pancake syrup.

Democrats can’t figure out how to unload a cargo ship, but they can control the weather 100 years from now. Blacks don’t have the opportunities that whites do, and it’s wrong when white kids claim to be black on their college applications so that they can get into a good school. Democrats want to spend trillions of dollars that don’t exist to fund projects that won’t happen because of setbacks that aren’t real.

The Really Big Lie

19th October 2021

ZMan pulls back the curtain.

One of the unexamined parts of the current crisis in the West is that much of it is related to an opposition to nationalism. It is an axiom of the ruling ideology that nationalism is the worst thing ever and that stamping it out is a primary concern. In Europe, there are laws against the concept. People are jailed for promoting it. In the United States, nationalism is linked to the deadly sin of racism. The term white nationalism has become a synonym for racism and antisemitism.

Without much evidence, it is asserted that nationalism is the cause of the great horrors of the modern age. For generations now children have been taught that nationalism was the cause of the two great industrial wars of the 20th century. Paradoxically, they also are taught that nationalism is to blame for colonialism. Today it is claimed that white people being themselves as a people, currently called whiteness, is the cause of everything that ails nonwhites in the West.

IPCC 6: Drought

18th October 2021

Read it.

I have now looked through all of the latest IPCC report. I say “looked through” because the report, including the Summary for Policymakers, is huge, just under four thousand pages. I looked over all of it, read only bits of particular interest to me.

One complication in writing about it is that the main report has, across every page in large light grey letters, “ACCEPTED VERSION SUBJECT TO FINAL EDITING,” and at the bottom of every page, “Do Not Cite, Quote or Distribute.” I will limit myself to describing what is in it and where but not actually quoting. The restriction is not present in the Summary for Policymakers, however.

Mob Smashes Through Downtown Portland

18th October 2021

Read it.

A mob last week rampaged through downtown Portland, Ore. Police were unable to control the crowd, however, because of restrictive measures passed this year by the Democratic state legislature.

A crowd of 100 people on Oct. 12 smashed windows and graffitied buildings, causing more than $500,000 in damage, police said. The violence followed a memorial to a Portland anarchist who in 2019 was hit by a car and killed.

Police made no arrests at the protest and did not directly intervene. Officers said their hands were tied by a state bill, passed in June, that in most situations restricts police from using crowd-control devices such as pepper spray and rubber bullets.

Did you hear anything about this in the “news”? I didn’t.

Time to leave.

The Teenaged Girl Who Shall Not Be Mentioned

15th October 2021

Read it.

If we sat in a boardroom and tried to decide the kind of story that the liberal media are the most hostile to covering – hostile to the point of wishing it had never existed – it might be this: teenage boy describing himself as “gender fluid” accused of raping a girl in a high-school bathroom.

This is a story that any liberal media outlet would want to spike, censor, ignore, squelch, and bury six feet underground. It’s a vivid illustration of what liberals consider a false stereotype. They assume automatically, ideologically, this could never happen — that a sexual predator would proclaim himself gender-fluid and enter a bathroom or locker room to commit a sex crime.

It’s a right-wing “lie” that suddenly became real.

Haugen Isn’t Really a ‘Facebook Whistleblower’ – And It’s Dangerous to Imagine She Is

8th October 2021

Read it.

Whistleblowers pay a heavy price for standing up for truth, for humanity, for life. Haugen is simply shoring up one elite path of several to more deceit, more suffering, more death.

Earth-Salter Apartheid

5th October 2021

David Cole is delightfully dyspeptic today.

Sometime in the early 1990s a friend suggested that I watch a movie called The Handmaid’s Tale. I was vaguely aware of the book…I knew it was authored by some ugly old bat from Canada, and honestly you couldn’t have paid me enough to read it. But I have a fondness for dystopian sci-fi, and my friend was like, “The movie’s really good! Give it a try.”

As it was on cable and didn’t cost me anything, I figured, sure.

I’m going on memory here, but this is what I recall. Most of the world’s women have been rendered infertile by the Evils of Man, a theme incredibly common in dystopian sci-fi but that withered old bag probably thought she was the first to think of it. And the movie starts with women being processed to sort the barren from the birthing.

Margaret Atwood is to writing what Maya Angelou is to poetry, i.e. a cheap Politically Correct substitute for the Real Thing.
