Your Sunday Best? WashPost Highlights Pope-Trashing (Muslim?) Singer Sinead O’Connor

22nd March 2020

Read it.

Why, in March of 2020, is The Washington Post devoting four pages of the Sunday newspaper to a one-hit wonder from 1992? Because she ripped up a picture of sainted Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live. There won’t be a four-page spread with eight pictures on Ugly Kid Joe or the Soup Dragons. But say “Christianity lied to me,” and your latest attempt at rehabilitation gets another round of hosannas.

The Left are the biggest promoters of hate on the planet, and everybody in the ‘news media’ ignores it.

Debunking Nature Magazine’s “COVID-19 Definitely Didn’t Come From a Lab” China Propaganda

21st March 2020

Read it.

Nature magazine has censored over 1,000 articles at the request of the Chinese government over the past several years. And it seems pretty clear that their recent article, “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” is just one more example of their influence.

China bought off the head of Harvard’s chemistry department, you don’t think they could buy off run-of-the-mill research scientists scrambling for tenure and funding and publication? It’s absolutely horrific that so many scientists and researchers are taking part in what’s really clearly a disinformation campaign orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party, and willfully spreading a smokescreen about something that’s already killed thousands and is projected to kill millions more across the planet.

Why Don’t Rich People Just Stop Working?

18th March 2020

The New York Times demonstrates why nobody trusts the ‘media’ any more.

Nothing is more perennially green than a thumb-sucker in a major newspaper bashing ‘the rich’. They seem to be the only category of people that it’s okay to hate on.

Mostly this is just pandering to the envious — ‘why do they have all that money while we, who are much  better people, have so little?’ — and the envious we have always with us. Nobody (especially newspapers) ever lost money hating on the fashionable whipping boys (or girls).

And, if there isn’t a fashionable whipping boy available, the clickbait-business-model media will be happy to create one.

The problem is that this usually involves perpetuating harmful mythology which the ‘news media’ could easily correct but don’t care to.

Case in point: ‘It’s an idea that’s going around. Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder who is worth close to $70 billion, is apparently open to it. “I don’t know that I have an exact threshold on what amount of money someone should have,” he said in live-streamed question-and-answer session with company employees in early October. “But on some level, no one deserves to have that much money.”’

The truth: Zuckerberg doesn’t have ‘that much money’. What he does have is a lot of stock in Facebook, which, if he could sell it for what somebody recently paid for some Facebook stock, might possibly be worth that much money. But of actual money he has far less — much more than you an me, perhaps, but rich people don’t just pile up snowdrift’s of cash in a Money Bin like Scrooge McDuck for the sole purpose of going swimming around in it; they keep it invested and working so that it will generate more money, as anybody with two brain cells to rub together (I’m excluding journalists here) does. So that money isn’t idle in some ginormous wallet, but rather out making stuff for people to use.

Or take Jeff Bezos (please), reputedly worth $130 billion. He didn’t inherit that from Unca Scrooge, nor was he passing by one day and found it by the side of the road for him to pick up and throw in the trunk. It represents (mostly) his ownership interest in Amazon, a company that he built from an idea over the course of 30 years by making it a company that people like to do business with. That ‘money’ is hard at work bringing you stuff from all over the country. To say, as Barack Obama famously did, ‘You didn’t build that’ is like saying that Beethoven didn’t create any of his symphonies because it needs a large number of (poorly paid) musicians to turn them from ink stains on a page to beautiful noise that makes people happy.  To go down that path requires two legs, Ignorance and Stupidity (and Barack has plenty of both).

The Truth vs. The New York Times

18th March 2020

The Induced-Demand Con

17th March 2020

Audacious Epigone does a little fisking.

Building new freeway lanes “has utterly failed to stop congestion,” says a new report from Transportation for America (T4A) titled The Congestion Con.

…

This report makes several fundamental errors. First, at least a third of the “new freeway lane-miles” that the report claims were “added” between 1993 and 2017 already existed in 1993, and thus can’t be claimed to have been built since 1993 to reduce congestion. The authors of the report knew this but dismissed it as irrelevant.

The threat of Covid-19 hate crimes across the country is surging this week as Asian Americans in San Gabriel Valley, a region east of Los Angeles, are loading up on weapons as concerns they could be targeted.

So tell us about these ‘virus-related attacks’…?

We noted on Monday that the first possible coronavirus-related hate crime in America, where an Asian man was stabbed numerous times, all caught on camera, occurred on a Brooklyn, New York street.

Ah. ONE attack. In New York. On the other side of the country.

CBS Warns Common Words & Phrases Are Now Racist

10th March 2020

Read it.

On Tuesday, the hosts of CBS This Morning warned viewers that common words and phrases with no racial context whatsoever were now somehow examples of “racism” in everyday life. It was all part of a segment designed to promote a “new book teaching kids the roots of racism.”

“Many headlines referred to the stock market plunge yesterday as ‘Black Monday,’ and that is just one of the subtle and not-so-subtle ways that racism has been braided into our everyday culture,” co-host Tony Dokoupil lectured at the top of the 8:30 a.m. ET half hour segment. He then touted a new children’s version of the book, Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America, by CBS News contributor Ibram X. Kendi and co-author Jason Reynolds.

MSNBC’s Hayes: African Americans Barred From GOP By ‘Structural White Supremacy’

10th March 2020

Read it.

Because it’s MSNBC, everything is about racism. And that’s certainly true of Chris Hayes. The liberal co-host on Friday insisted that the Republican Party is not an option to African Americans because of “structural white supremacy.” The fact that the Democratic Party was the party of slavery, Jim Crow and segregation didn’t seem to occur to him.

Somebody needs to tell Senator Tim Scott.

REPORT: NY Post Reporter Locked Out of Twitter for Exposing Socialist YouTuber Carlos Maza as Coming From Elite Wealth

8th March 2020

Read it.

Levine reported on Maza’s big family connections, which include multiple mega-mansions in Florida, a multi-million dollar apartment on the Upper West Side and a fancy yacht. This news, which broke Saturday evening, comes after Maza spent years slamming the wealthy.

Included in Levine’s article is a photo from a public realtor website showing the outside of one of Maza’s family homes in Florida. The mansion boasts a waterfront view.

Levine also tweeted out images of the family’s multi-million dollar pad in Manhattan. It is not immediately clear why Levine was locked out of his Twitter following the report, as the images are publicly available.

How is this news? Most people who ‘attack the rich’ are pretty much rich themselves.

NYT: My Daughter Passes for White

29th February 2020

Steve Sailer reads this stuff so you don’t have to.

Here’s the umpty-umpth New York Times op-ed by a Woman of Color rehearing how oppressed she was by mean whites (i.e., girls) in, yes, middle school. But his one takes the anti-white cliches to a weird new level of sounding like she resents her own 3-year-old daughter for looking white.

A problem, dare I say it, that she wouldn’t have had she married a ‘black’ man.

Bet the kid still plays the race card later on in life, tho….
