Build Back Better (With Child Labour)

Somehow, writers for left-wing publications (of which The Guardian is probably the poster child) seem to think that it’s still 1843 and we’re just waiting for Dickens to come along and rip the cunning facade off of the dystopia that is the modern world.

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every page in large light grey letters, “ACCEPTED VERSION SUBJECT TO FINAL EDITING,” and at the bottom of every page, “Do Not Cite, Quote or Distribute.”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.

But the indispensable New York Post has a scandalous story today containing an excerpt from Couric about how she suppressed a comment by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg about athletes kneeling for the National Anthem because it ran contrary to the left’s narrative.

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.

The Liberal Media One-Word Game

2nd October 2021

Read it.

Call it the liberal media “one word” game. All it takes is one word – one word ever so subtly and carefully placed in a news story. And with that the liberal media sets the liberal narrative about the topic of the moment.

…

Here’s the liberal media word game at work, this time over in The Hill. The headline: “Manchin says reconciliation bill must include controversial Hyde Amendment”

Note the word game at play: The Hyde Amendment, four and a half decades on the books, passed overwhelmingly, is suddenly labeled “controversial.” All manner of conservative critics called out the game.

REVIEW: ‘Resistance’ by Jennifer Rubin

26th September 2021

Read it.

Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election was a traumatic event for many women, especially the white ones with college educations, lucrative professional careers, and an unhealthy obsession with politics that fills a gaping void in their lives by reinforcing their feelings of moral supremacy over their fellow Americans.

Women like Jennifer Rubin, the prolific social media user and Washington Post opinion columnist who once accused former president Barack Obama of having more sympathy for “the Muslim World” than for his fellow Americans, but has since reinvented herself as “one of the most reliable defenders of the Biden administration,” according to Politico.

Hunter Biden and the Corrupt Media’s War on Truth

25th September 2021

Read it.

Recall the blockbuster New York Post story in the end run up to the 2020 election? The major scoop that Hunter Biden had left a laptop at a repair shop – and the repairman found all kind of illicit doings (and pictures!) on the computer?

The story was not only hotly denied by the Biden campaign and —  falsely —  assailed as part of a Russian disinformation campaign, it was suppressed by its Big Tech allies and ignored by the Democrat’s liberal media buddies.

Now comes Politico, of all places, to confess that…well, um, ahhh…ok, yes. The Post story was in fact true. An amused Post editorial headlined: “The Hunter Biden laptop is confirmed?! Color us shocked!”

The left has found a scenario it thinks it can retail to defuse the invasion of the United States by Haitians and hundreds of thousands of others via our former southern border. They want us to believe that overwhelmed immigration enforcement authorities on horseback are whipping Haitians.
