Dave Chappelle Mentions Trans People One Time and Hoboy, the Leftwing Groomer Media Just Can't Deal
Plus: Ricky Gervais and Nate Bergatze

Dave Chappelle just debuted a new comedy special on Netflix.

here's Chappelle's only brief mention of trans people, before announcing he would not continue making jokes about trans people, because they whine too much about it.

He said he'd move on to making fun of handicapped people, who have a less zealous lobby.

High-End Sex Ring in Boston and US Was a "Honeypot Operation" Set Up by Foreign Governments to Blackmail US Officials

You don't say!

A lot of that goin' round.

High-end sex ring in Boston and D.C. areas was 'honeypot' scheme by Russia, China, South Korea or even Israel - to ensnare US officials, intelligence experts believe

Investigators believe a network of high-end brothels operating in the Boston and D.C. areas was a honey trap to ensnare politicians and government officials

But whether the plot was intended to aid Russia, China, South Korea -- or even Israel -- remains to be determined

Clients, believed to include members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors, have not yet been unmasked and charged

By Ken Silverstein, In Fairfax, Virginia, For Dailymail.Com


Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage 'honeytrap'.

They believe the brothels -- allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman -- targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors.

But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme.

'Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the plot unraveled,' a one-time CIA senior operations officer told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.

The brothels were raided in November and prosecutors said they were looking to charge 28 people in Massachusetts alone.

...

Members of Congress, military officers, and national security contractors who 'possessed security clearances' were among the steady customers at the 'high-end brothels' run by the ring, prosecutors say.

The ring's clients, who paid rates of up to $600 an hour, included corporate executives, professors, lawyers, and scientists.

To entice customers, the Lees allegedly set up websites whose purported purpose was helping photographers find nude female models looking for work. Investigators believe the ring had made more than $1 million by the time it was busted.

None of the clients have been identified or charged so far, but they could soon be unmasked after federal prosecutors last month announced they are seeking criminal charges.

If the corrupt government of the US maintains the pace of revelations that it did during the Epstein honeypot operation, we should start seeing some names around 2048.

Dark Brandon Returns: Biden Slurs His Way Through Another Fearmongering Ad Campaign

Once again, Dark Brandon claims that the "preservation of American democracy" is the center of his "presidency," and claims that Republicans are somehow keeping some people's votes from counting.

Dude, no one is stopping anyone's votes from counting -- including all the illegal ones Democrat operatives are "harvesting" (aka, "filling out blank forms themselves").

THE MORNING RANT: Cox Media Promoted to Advertisers That It Is Eavesdropping on Private Conversations Via Cell Phone Microphones

Ear on cell phone.JPG


For those of us capitalists who used to assertively defend corporations from the left, the 21st century takeover of corporate America by executives pushing a hard-left agenda has been disheartening.

Even more disheartening is that the ethical behaviors and codes of conduct that both the right and the left once demanded of corporations have been tossed aside. In today’s business climate, so long as a corporation is conspicuously advocating for cultural Marxism, its managers and executives feel empowered to abandon any pretext of ethical behavior.

Cox Media Group (“CMG” was recently exposed for promoting its ability to eavesdrop on private conversations via the microphones on cell phones and smart devices, and to use that information to sell targeted advertising.

Specifically, CMG boasted of its ability to engage in “Active Listening” on behalf of advertisers, so that "the whispers of consumers become a tool for you to target."

It made this claim in a since-deleted post at its CMG Global Solutions website. CMG’s claim that it could “actively listen” in this way disputes the tech industry’s repeated assertions that our phones and devices are not monitoring our personal conversations.

Cox Media Group is a subsidiary of the Cox Enterprises empire, which includes Cox Cable, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Cox Automotive (Auto Trader, Kelley Blue Book) and dozens of TV and radio stations.

In boasting to potential advertisers about its ability to eavesdrop on private conversations, Cox Media has engaged in one of two egregious ethical behaviors. It either:

1) Lied to advertisers about its ability to eavesdrop on targeted consumers.

or

2) Eavesdropped on consumers without consent.

Being a left-wing media operation, Cox did what you would expect it to do when caught in unethical behavior - it simply deleted the information it had previously published and went into denial mode.

Several non-Cox publications have documented this story.

“Are Marketers Using Smartphones to Listen to Your Conversations to Target Ads? Yes, Cox Media Group Says in Materials Deleted From Its Website” [Variety – 12/15/2023]

It’s been a long-held suspicion by many people: that smartphones and smart speakers are listening in on their private conversations for various reasons.

Now one company — Atlanta-based Cox Media Group — has revealed that yes, your devices are listening to you. Indeed, CMG touted its ability to identify “relevant conversations via smartphones, smart TVs and other devices” using AI to let local businesses target ads to those people.

“It’s True. Your Devices Are Listening to You,” said a page on the CMG Local Solutions site, which has since been pulled down. “With Active Listening, CMG can now use voice data to target your advertising to the EXACT people you are looking for.”

Although that original post has since been deleted by Cox, it has been archived and can be found here.

At the bottom of this post I will print the full text of Cox Media’s now-deleted admission of eavesdropping.

The Morning Report — 1/5/24

stalin-gay.jpg

Good morning, kids. At this point, I think I'm all Gay-ed out. But there was a point that I was trying to get across yesterday that I think is crucial and gets to the crux of the biscuit as to the situation we find ourselves in across a whole spectrum of cultural, political and societal fronts. It's also a not unimportant factor that has driven this nation to the brink of, to put it mildly, an unpleasant divorce.

What Gay’s excusers, and Gay, are primarily doing, however, is avoiding personal responsibility. That’s the underlying principle of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE) and Critical Race Theory (CRT). Accepting no responsibility means no merit, no standards to attain. No need to perform and no need to apologize. Every failure is someone else's fault. There are two types of people: oppressors and the oppressed, though there are many sub-victim groups within the latter. Oppressors can do no right, only evil. The Oppressed can do no wrong; they are eternally blameless and no standards of performance or character apply to them.  To them, personal responsibility is foreign.

Among the essential lessons one must learn on the way to eventual adulthood is individual responsibility. No one is responsible for our failures, our lies, our excuses and evasions, but us. Refusing to take responsibility forever mires us in childhood and delusion. A nation of self-deluded children contribute to the degredation of America. They apparently also go to Harvard.

Oppressors, primarily white males, are responsible for all evil in the world, and Donald Trump is their Hitlerian leader and inspiration. Only oppressors have the dubious distinction of being personally and collectively responsible for sins, real and imagined. Personally, in that they can be prosecuted for non-crimes. Collectively, in that they’re a class of never-ending political scapegoats for every imaginary wrong the Self-Imagined Elite (SIE) must right, yet never seem to get around to righting. Among those wrongs is hate, and its companion, institutional racism.

Emphasis mine. Do read the whole essay from Mike McDaniel. It's short but it really touches upon an important aspect of this whole affair that even some of the more estimable commentators have glossed over or missed entirely. The toxic, heinous big lie of "oppressed" and "oppressor" is merely the most current manifestation of the age old strategy of "divide and conquer." The most hurtful aspect of it is not in its Communist propagation going back a century, but that it was swallowed hook, line and sinker by successive generations of dupes all the way up to the present day. This, despite the fact that since the end of World War 2, "We Have Overcome" both slavery and Jim Crow, not so much by government intervention – without the help of the Democrats since they were the root causes of the problem – but because of gradual, benign societal evolution.

Compare and contrast this with societies and nations around the world that have much longer histories than a few hundred years. Hell, just look at South Africa where a mere 33 years after the end of apartheid, a supposed glorious new era of peace and reconciliation between black and white was supposed to flourish in harmony. What's there now? An incompetent, corrupt, racialist junta that's hell bent on driving out the whites while committing national suicide. Sounds familiar, and I don't necessarily mean Zimbabwe. And this was the country that had a constitution that Ruth Bader-Meinhoff thought was far superior than our own. The one she allegedly devoted her life and career to supposedly defend. It is to laugh, were it not for the emetic effect of that thought.

Yes we had overcome. Unfortunately, as my sainted mother of blessed memory would often caution me "Evil never rests." America for sure was not perfect. But despite the Left's memes and shibboleths, this nation is not and should not be defined by its problems and injustices. It is and should be defined by how it overcame them. Along with the initial notion of a government where power was intended to be vested in the individual, this too is what has made us exceptional. Or had.

The record is quite clear: everything wrong with this nation, every crisis, calamity, injustice, all the pain and suffering and dare I say it the source of all the evil is the Leftist-Progressive movement and its political home, the Democrat Party. Yet somehow, they've been able to brainwash successive generations into believing not only the opposite, which is bad enough, but that the nation and society itself with which they are supposed to be a part is itself evil and illegitimate.

Claudine Gay being appointed to head Harvard was not merely checking off boxes to be stylish. Her not being qualified for the position was a revolutionary act against a society and system viewed as racist. I'm not sure if they see the irony in that they've so brainwashed black youth into hating education that most view it as "acting white." And you don't get much whiter than Harvard, but I digress.

This is, of course, insanity. But it serves an evil end which is the attainment of absolute power. "Oppressor" and "oppressed." The other bitter irony is that those who view themselves as the latter are in fact the former. It's why "cancel culture" has thrived. Why speaking the truth that men cannot be women and vice versa can get you censored, fired or even worse. Why challenging the results of an election gets you labeled as an "insurrectionist" or worse, lands you in jail in some cases for years awaiting trial for merely showing up to a rally. And on and on and on.

Oppressed and oppressor. "Literally Hitler." Words like this sometimes are uttered without thinking. But make no mistake. There is a direct line from the twisted logic that put Claudine Gay in the Harvard presidency and worse, in her horrendous resignation letter to the phrase "by any means necessary, whether by promoting the incompetent as means of fighting injustices that no longer exist, or using it as the reason to justify violence. We're in big trouble, folks.

Have a good weekend, and see you on the hobby thread mañana.

ONT Flu Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Hello everyone. You know, THIS is what they should have done to everybody on Epstein's list:

flee.png

I'd forego vengeance if we could just get all those assholes gone forever.

Not going to be much of an ONT tonight. I've been flat on my back with the flu for the last three days. I was OK if I was lying down, but when I sat up I sounded like the Ypres salient, April 1915. Seriously, I didn't know you could cough this hard. I have a whole lot more sympathy for WWI gas victims, I'm miserable and this isn't a patch on what they suffered, it must have been an excruciating way to die. I got back to work a bit today, but no work earlier in the week means I was not accruing content for the ONT. Well, onward we go.

Quick Hits

Over the break, we discovered that a second American hostage held by the terrorist group Hamas died in captivity. Which makes it murder.

A second U.S. citizen being held captive in Gaza was announced dead Thursday, and Israeli officials said she was actually murdered on Oct. 7 and Hamas has been holding her body captive ever since.

Kibbutz Nir Oz announced the death of resident Judi Weinstein Haggai, a 70-year-old New York native who was an English teacher who specialized in working with special needs children, according to Israeli and U.S. media reports.

A young woman released by Hamas has revealed that the statement she made while still in Hamas' grasp, that they were treating her well, was, get this, false.

Now that she's actually free, she can report the truth: they raped her.

Schem and her girlfriend tried to escape the music festival on 10/7 but drove straight toward a group of Hamas terrorists who shot the tires out from under her car. Then a group got out near her and shot her in the arm. She says her arm was "detached." It sounds from the description like the bone was broken and her arm just flopped. She picked it up and tried to hide in the car as Hamas continued killing anyone who seemed to be alive. Finally her car was on fire and she had a choice between burning alive and handing herself over to Hamas. She decided to live.

And immediately she was sexually assaulted, despite the fact she was covered in blood. They put her in a van and took her back to Gaza. She spent most of her captivity there with her captor and his family in a little house. For three days she had no painkillers and no medical attention. Then they took her to a hospital and operated on her arm. She was filmed for a Hamas propaganda video in which a doctor wrapped her arm but that was the last time she received any medical help. No meds or painkillers. She was barely given any food.

She says her entire time in captivity it was clear to her that her captor wanted to rape her but he couldn't do that because his wife and family were in the next room. The wife was clearly unhappy about her being there as well and showed her unhappiness by taunting her with food or talking to her husband about how her hair was fake. Her captor later confessed to her that he was unhappily married and didn't love his wife.

Unbelievable.

Even the children seemed to get in on the taunting. At one point her captor's son brought candy for his father and then showed her what was in the bag and walked away. She described it as "pure evil." Then she added, "There are no innocent civilians there...From the moment those children are born, they're brainwashed that Israel is Palestine and that they must hate Jews."

...

Even after being released Mia is facing a lot of challenges. She's still trying to recover use of her hand and arm but has a long way to go. And she also had some kind of epileptic seizure which doctors apparently put down to weeks of sleep deprivation, malnourishment and stress.

Propagandists including one "Jackson Hinkle" really pushed her verge-of-release statement that she was well-treated. He got millions of hits.

I don't think he's now posting her true account of her captivity.

Even the New York Times has to admit that their allies in Hamas heave "weaponized sexual violence" as a tool of terror.

A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7.

Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.

Four witnesses described in graphic detail seeing women raped and killed at two different places along Route 232, the same highway where Ms. Abdush's half-naked body was found sprawled on the road at a third location.

And The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush's -- legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.

Many of the accounts are difficult to bear, and the visual evidence is disturbing to see.

The Times viewed photographs of one woman's corpse that emergency responders discovered in the rubble of a besieged kibbutz with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin.

The Times also viewed a video, provided by the Israeli military, showing two dead Israeli soldiers at a base near Gaza who appeared to have been shot directly in their vaginas.

A nation of Jack-the-Rippers.

They just want to breathe. Why won't you let them breathe, Zionist Scum?

CNN sadly admits that busing illegal immigrants to the cities that consistently vote for unlimited illegal immigrants has worked, at least in a "political" way.

BASH: Look let's just sort of put in context, the politics of this for President Biden, and how important it is. Just one example from a Monmouth approval rating poll -- question. You look at the -- the issues, and how he fares. Infrastructure, jobs, climate change, inflation, immigration, he is now 26 percent. That is not good.

MIN KIM: It's not good at all. And I think that part of the trip yesterday to Mexico, by senior Biden Administration officials, was obviously to have these diplomatic conversations, but also to make the broader administration's point that this is a regional issue that requires regional cooperation, and sort of trying to blunt the criticism from Republicans that you're hearing over and over saying that these were Biden's border policy that's causing these numbers at the border.

But that certainly doesn't change the fact that he's under considerable political pressure over immigration, and that his administration is probably preparing to make some significant compromises on immigration next month.

BASH: Pressure because of the situation at the border, pressure because Republicans are trying as much as they can to -- to blame Biden and his policies. But it's also big city mayors. Democratic mayors in big cities.

[...]

HUNT: Yeah, I mean, that right, there is the problem that Joe Biden has right, in a nutshell, because it is no longer -- you know, for a long time this conversation was these, you know, red state mayors and governors are being alarmist. And, you know, we have to be -- that we have to focus on the humanitarian issue here.

Obviously, the U.S. has a humanitarian responsibility to you know, it's written into the law into our asylum laws. But this crisis has gotten worse, not better.

The Bud Light Boycott Didn't Just Destroy Bud Light -- It Reduced the Entire Beer Industry's Sales by 5%

The boycott of Bud Light has hurt the entire brewing industry. Alas.

he beer industry has had a brutal year marked by boycotts against Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev, shifting consumer behavior and plummeting sales -- and it's only going to get worse.

U.S. beer shipments dropped by more than 5% over the first nine months of 2023, according to data compiled by Beer Marketer's Insights. By the end of the year, shipments are expected to fall to their lowest level in 25 years, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Part of that is due to a long-telegraphed shift of consumer tastes as consumers -- especially younger ones -- ditch alcohol over health concerns. Gallup, which has asked American adults about their alcohol consumption since 2001, found in an August survey that adults under 35 years old were the only group to actually lower their consumption.

Gallup also found that although beer is the most popular type of alcohol beverage among Americans, that status is in decline as liquor gains ground. In addition, consumers have more options, often substituting canned cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages for beer.

So, Bud Light did have a problem: People are drinking less beer. But not because they don't see enough trannies with their own bespoke Bud Light cans. Because people are avoiding carbohydrates where they can, and unless you love the taste and ritual associated with beer, then beer is the easiest bucket of carbs you can avoid.

I haven't drank a beer in... well, okay I did have one Coors Light a few months ago as my act of defiance against Bud Light, but before that it's been years and years.

It's now just a meme that "beer makes you fat." I'm going to buy my first bottle of rye or whiskey soon. It'll be Bullet, because I hear good things and I like the name.

And hard liquor, for all its faults, is lower carb.

This is another case of a company that's going broke -- well, seeing declining sales, while not actually going broke at all -- and going woke thinking that will fix things, and then actually going broke because the cohort they've decided to pander to is not only incredibly small but would never, ever buy their product.

People avoiding beer for health reasons are not going to buy Bud Light because they approve of its woke embrace of evangelical transgenderism. These two things have nothing to do with eachother. Non c'entra, as the Italians say. Transgender propaganda doesn't enter into it.

If they wanted to reclaim part of the customer base that is avoiding beer for health reasons, they could have just put more money into advertising Michelob Ultra, formerly my favorite low-carb, easily-available beer.

Or they could have created some new bottled spirit that was made up of a little vodka, some carbonated water, and a sugar-free sweetener.

Instead, they did what they all do, which is to say "Let's pander to a microscopic fraction of the population which will never in 1000 years buy our product!"

This is yet another case of a company which has a declining but still profit-granting customer base -- like comic books were years ago -- and deciding that the right move is to alienate all of their current customers to chase a Phantom Customer Base that does not exist.

Have trannies and Gen Zers rushed to make up for the huge declines in the sale of Bud Light due to millions of people dropping it like a bad habit? No, of course not. Of course not. Just like an army of diverse autistic lesbians and transgenders did not rush in to buy comic books just because Marvel and DC hired diverse autistic lesbians and transgenders to write what were formerly boy's action and adventure fantasies.

If men are drinking less beer, try harder to appeal to men, the traditional beer drinkers. And traditionalist men, too, because traditionalist men will keep drinking beer despite faddish, flighty concerns about its carb content.

But corporations hate men and hate traditionalist men especially.

They just would rather go bankrupt than pander to Those People.

So, like DC and Marvel comics, Bud Light is now on the glide-path to extinction.

But they'll keep doing it.

Until they all go broke.

6 I think White Claw is wot did the other beers in. People love that shit.
Posted by: sniftybigtoe

ah yeah. So why not just make a White Claw competitor?

Why attempt to get trendy leftwing young women to drink a bro-associated party beer by... hiring a transgender influencer?

But they keep doing this because they only WANT to market to leftwing people. They think it's slumming to sell to right-leaning, traditionalist men.

They would rather go broke than resign themselves to serving Those People.

Claudine Gay: I Did Nothing Wrong. Racist People Hunted Me Because They Couldn't Stand to See a DEI Success Story Like Mine.

The Bee:

liberalsmaybeaccountablefortheiractions.jpg

The Racist Left continues defending the indefensible, because all they care about putting power into their own racist hands.

Noted victim-of-Russian-hacking Joy Reid:

JOY REID: I do just want to pivot to another thing. Because there's another thing happening, Jelani. There- there is this sort of open war on Black progress, Black history. Um- Claudine Gay, the president of Harvard University, at least up until she resigned, is now the latest casualty of that. Christopher Rufo, who is out there touting and, you know, high fiving and claiming the scalp of Claudine Gay, telegraphed that this was what they were going to do. They were going to associate these DEI professors of colleges with BLM and decolonization and Hamas in the public mind and get rid of them. He's now claiming victory. He telegraphed that this was the campaign. Why are these elite colleges capitulating to it and essentially making it so uncomfortable for these women leaders that they have to step down to be replaced by white men? Because that is the goal of Christopher Rufo and his gang.

The racist Claudine Gay herself wrote an op-ed, not apologizing for any of her many, many cases of plagiarism, but playing the victim and hoisting the flag of black entitlement:

gregkellyclaudinegay.jpg


Chris Brunet
@realChrisBrunet


NEW: Claudine Gay writes a goodbye essay in the NYT


''My critics found instances where some material duplicated other scholars' language ... When I learned of these errors, I promptly requested corrections from the journals.''

FACT CHECK: FALSE

When Claudine Gay ''learned of these errors'', she sat on them for months while threatening to sue the New York Post in an attempt to suppress them

Gay went on in her op-ed to do the expected. Namely, claim that the real reason she was targeted is because she's just too darn diverse.


It is not lost on me that I make an ideal canvas for projecting every anxiety about the generational and demographic changes unfolding on American campuses: a Black woman selected to lead a storied institution. Someone who views diversity as a source of institutional strength and dynamism. Someone who has advocated a modern curriculum that spans from the frontier of quantum science to the long-neglected history of Asian Americans. Someone who believes that a daughter of Haitian immigrants has something to offer to the nation's oldest university.

She's the Kamala Harris of Fake Academics. Someone failed to position her for academic success.

John Sexton quotes from a writer at The Atlantic -- presumably a liberal or neoliberal, because The Atlantic only posts articles from liberals and neoliberals.

While the rest of the left fumes that the "right-wing" Chris Rufo brought Gay down on plagiarism charges, this writer points out that the reason Rufo was able to bring her down on plagiarism charges was because she was "clearly" guilt of plagiarism.

And the worst part, the writer says, isn't that Gay is a serial plagiarist.

It's that almost everyone on the left, including all journalists and academics, were eager to lie about her plagiarism in order to save her.


Conservatives have long seen Gay as the "diversity hire" avatar of their DEI bogeymen. They wanted an excuse to force her out, so they went looking for skeletons. The problem, for progressives, is that the conservatives found a closet full of bones. As The Intercept's Ryan Grim put it, "The right launched a witch hunt against Gay but instead found a plagiarist." Although the initial examples of plagiarism were weak--easy enough to excuse as shoddy paraphrasing and forgotten quotation marks--a series of subsequent investigations by the conservative outlet The Washington Free Beacon found more damning cases. As Rufo predicted, the plagiarism story soon broke into the mainstream, thanks to sustained coverage in outlets such as The Boston Globe and The New York Times. A fair-minded but bracing December 21 Times op-ed by John McWhorter, simply titled "Why Claudine Gay Should Go," was a nail that struck especially loudly against the coffin wood.

Those who rushed to characterize her resignation as the outcome of a "bullying" campaign designed to oust Harvard's first Black president omit an inconvenient detail: She was clearly guilty. The bullying worked because the facts were too difficult to massage. That didn't stop many of my fellow academics from trying.

...

The true scandal of the Claudine Gay affair is not a Harvard president and her plagiarism. The true scandal is that so many journalists and academics were willing, are still willing, to redefine plagiarism to suit their politics. Gay's boosters have consistently resorted to Orwellian doublespeak--"duplicative language" and academic "sloppiness" and "technical attribution issues"--in a desperate effort to insist that lifting entire paragraphs of another scholar's work, nearly word for word, without quotation or citation, isn't plagiarism. Or that if it is plagiarism, it's merely a technicality. Or that we all do it. (Soon after Rufo and Brunet made their initial accusations last month, Gay issued a statement saying, "I stand by the integrity of my scholarship." She did not address those or subsequent plagiarism allegations in her resignation letter.)

Rufo won this round of the academic culture war because he exposed so many progressive scholars and journalists to be hypocrites and political actors who were willing to throw their ideals overboard. I suspect that, not the tenure of a Harvard president, was the prize he sought all along. The tragedy is that we didn't have to give it to him.

They're not journalists nor academics. They are Marxist propgandists who have "borrowed in" to once non-propgandistic institutions.

Christopher Rufo is amazingly candid about his intentions and his actions: He straight-up says his mission was to force the leftwing propaganda institutions to cover the story, because that would then make the left squirm enough that some leftists would be forced to admit this was plagiarism and that Gay therefore must resign.

Again quoted by Sexton, Politico is A S T O N I S H E D that Rufo is honest and candid about his agenda and his intentions. A belwildered Politico "journalist" asks, basically, why don't you just lie about your motives like we in the "Real Media" do?

Why do you think you can be so open about your strategy and still have it work? Why don't you feel like you need to be covert about it?

First, and most simply, because I'm telling the truth -- and the truth has an inherent and innate power. I believe that if it's propagated correctly, it has the power to defeat lies.

You tell me that Politico is doing anything but admit their own strategy of obfuscation and deceit in pretending they have no motives except "delivering the truth."

The suspected Iowa school shooter, who injured three people including the principal before turning the gun on himself, has been identified as a school senior.

Dylan Butler, who is a senior at Perry High School, was named as the suspected gunman by local news outlet WHO 13. Police have not confirmed the identification.

One of the three people injured was the school's principal, Dan Marburger, who was rushed to hospital and is currently in surgery for his gunshot wounds.

The other two people injured were students, according to reports.

Hours before the shooting took place at 7.37am, Butler posted a TikTok posing in what appeared to be the school bathroom, with the caption: 'Now we wait.'

The gutless, cowardly killer:

Vivek Ramaswamey Demolishes Woke Fake "Journalist" Who Demands Not Only That He Condemn "White Supremacy," But Do So Using the Exact Catechism She Dictates to Him

A guy I used to listen to, Ya Boi Zach, is fond of repeating a stat he says he got from the FBI. I'm unable to track it down, so I'll just repeat his claim: He said the FBI estimates there are 15,000 active white supremacists in the United State, a nation of 330 million people.

That's about the attendance of four or five WNBA games.

And yet the left claims that this cadre of 15,000 nose-picking meth-heads is an imminent threat to take over the United States.

To get around this, the left and the media (but I repeat myself) use a soft-shoe shuffle to change the definition of "white supremacy:" While selling you on the idea that the "white supremacists" they're speaking of are Klan members plotting terrorist attacks, the real definition of "white supremacy" they employ to get those numbers up is this:

Anyone who is white, or who is "adjacent to white" and therefore benefits from "white privilege," and who does not violently oppose this system of "white supremacy" by joining "anti-fascist" and "anti-racist" groups to smash the whole "white supremacist" superstructure that rules our society, is a "white supremacist."

So in other words, anyone who's not a zealous activist for the woke racist identitarian left is a white supremacist. All normies are definitionally "white supremacists" because they are not hardcore violent woke activists, including the minority normies, who are supporting "white supremacy" by not actively opposing it.

The same media and Democrat Party (but I repeat myself) which relentlessly propagandizes this obvious crank horseshit simultaneously hypes of any attack on minorities -- transgenders, Asians, Jews -- as evidence of "white supremacy," while hiding the fact that most of these attacks are committed by blacks.

More of that "multiracial white supremacy," I guess.

A fake "journalist" at CNN demanded that Vivek denounce this Republic-Menacing Cadre of 15,000 people.

He humiliated her and the whole corrupt apparatus of totalitarian propagandistic mind control of the left.

On Wednesday, a Washington Post reporter ridiculously asked him to "condemn white supremacy and white nationalism" and was utterly destroyed as a result.

"I'm not -- I'm not going to recite some catechism for you," Ramaswamy began. "I'm against vicious racial discrimination in this country. So I'm not pledging allegiance to your new religion of modern wokeism which absolutely fits the test."

"I'm not going to bend the knee to your religion. I'm sorry, I'm not asking you to bend the knee to mine and I'm not going to bend the knee to yours. But do I condemn vicious racial discrimination? Yes, I do. Am I going to play your silly game of 'Gotcha'? No, I'm not. And frankly, this is why people have lost trust [in the media]."

Ramaswamy continued, "And I know you're going to go print the headline tomorrow. I already know this, we already know how your game works. 'Vivek Ramaswamy Refuses to Condemn Racism,' because you asked a stupid question. The reality is, I condemn vicious racial discrimination in this country, but the kind of vicious and systematic racism we see today is discrimination on the basis of race in a very different direction."

"You want to know what the best way is to end discrimination on the basis of race?" Vivek asked. "Stop discriminating on the basis of race. Do that, and we're going to move this country forward, and I don't care whether you're black or white or brown or anything in between. That's how we're going to unite this country."

Ramaswamy then went on to blast the media for intentionally using race to divide our nation.

"You people have been responsible for dividing this country to a breaking point, creating a projection of national division. I meet people from the South Side of Chicago to meetings like this one -- of every shade of melanin [...] man to woman, doesn't make a difference -- who are hungry for reviving unity in this country. And you, with your catechism that you try to get politicians to -- whatever fake headline you're going to print on the basis of this conversation tomorrow -- that's what's dividing this country to a breaking point. Shame on you. Look people in the eye and tell them what you've actually failed to tell them for the last five years. Own the accountability for your own failures as the media -- that's how we rebuild trust in this country. And until then, I don't have a lot of patience to play the games."

I invite politicians to find the source of Zack's "15,000 white supremacists" claim and use this statistic in their answers: "Yes, I fully condemn all 15,000 active white supremacists, according to FBI statistics, who pose a threat of taking over this entire country of 330 million people. Next question. Do you have any other microscopically small non-movements you're demanding I condemn? Shall I condemn model railroad enthusiasts who refuse to use any of the standard scales for philosophical reason? Shall I condemn people whose favorite fruit is the lemon?"

Released Epstein Material: Jeffrey Epstein is Reported to Have Said Bill Clinton "Liked Them Young"

This is hearsay from one of the abused girls. She wasn't actually molested by Clinton.

likesthemyoung.jpg

But there's another hearsay statement that at one dinner, Clinton "didn't take the bait." Jailbait, I assume that means.

So at one dinner, Clinton did not take advantage of a girl being offered to him. At least, as far as this witness saw.

It's very interesting this is referred to as "bait." Seems to strongly support the idea that this was a directed blackmail operation.

Update: Thanks to sharon, this thread from Technofog gathers some of the most politically-salient bits from the files.

One of the Pritzker family -- the Democrat family of billionaires that has supercharged transgender surgeries for children, because "Jennifer" (James) Pritzker is a crazy trasgender evangelist -- reportedly had sex with at least one child on the island. This particular Pritzker scum is Tom Pritzker, and controls Hyatt Hotels and is a member of "the prestigious Aspen Institute."

If you remember, the Aspen Institute organized the "war game" scenario to prime the media to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story. They conducted a war game with members of the media, using the premise of materials about Hunter Biden being released just before the election, and coached them to brand it as RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION.

Wow, how conveniently timed! How very specific! What foreknowledge of future events they had in their possession!

Also thanks to sharon, here's that thread via the Unrolled app, which makes it easier to read.

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Are we going to lose the next war?

It seems as though the Biden junta is barreling along a road that leads to significant degradation of our ability to conduct military operations. Even if our soldiers and sailors weren't preoccupied with gender and how best to wear sexy red pumps, they are rapidly running out of the munitions required to conduct a war! And they aren't even getting the experience of firing that stuff...it is being sent to Ukraine and to a lesser extent Israel.

Unfortunately it isn't just a question of ramping up production, which is, in and of itself, a very big question mark. We have also degraded our ability to produce the raw materials that are vital in the production of modern munitions.

Global Conflicts Expose Dire U.S. Munitions Shortage

The United States military is severely short on high-end and artillery munitions at a crucial and strategic moment. As the calendar turns to 2024, Ukraine, using bombs and bullets from the United States, continues its slog of a war with Russia with no foreseeable end. Simultaneously, the U.S. continues sending artillery rounds to Israel amidst the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) assault on Hamas in Gaza. In the Indo-Pacific, American tensions with China remain high as Taiwan prepares for a general election with fears of Chinese interference and Chinese leader Xi Jinping promises the reunification of Taiwan with mainland China. In DC, alarm bells ring regarding the dearth of rounds required for these three distinct kinds of conflict. Central to this issue is an American paucity of rare earth minerals indispensable in producing these bombs, shells, and rockets. To address this shortage and ensure the long-term viability of ammo for high-end conflict, the U.S. must invest in and maintain innovative systems for processing and refinement of rare earth minerals.

Who do we blame? The environmental movement. The idiocy of the globalists. The vast conspiracy within government to cede production of everything to China. The stupidity of the NIMBY movement in America (driven by environmentalism). The list goes on and on, but the problem is immediate, while the fix is generational.

This issue has vast national security implications, and a Trump presidency should address it immediately. A simple waiver to the appropriate mining and processing companies to operate outside of the EPA's maniacal restrictions and whatever other restrictions placed by the various federal and state authorities would be an appropriate beginning. Its justification is obvious, necessary, time sensitive, and vital for our national security.

And it will never happen, because we have ceded all power to an insane cabal of the progressive left, operating under cover of whatever political interest group can exert the most leverage to diminish the United States of America in whatever way they can.

So when China blockades Taiwan, we won't have the missiles to fight the Chinese Navy and the Chinese air force. We won't have the artillery shells to send to Taiwan to repel an invasion. We won't have the small-arms ammunition for their infantry. And that's just one place! We used to have the capacity to fight two theater wars. Now? We can't supply a small army fighting a border dispute while supplying an ally fighting an even smaller action.

Sure...there are reasons that go beyond politics. Modern weaponry is complex and requires more time to manufacture. But we know that! The logistics chains should have been in place long before we began to run out.

This cannot be anything other than a carefully planned outcome. How many thousands of military and civilian personnel are tasked with the logistics if supplying the United States armed forces with the material necessary to conduct and win wars?

Anyone saying that this was "unexpected" deserves a punch in the nose.

The Morning Report — 1/4/24

valleyforgery.jpg

Good morning, kids. I'm getting a sense of growing desperation amongst the Anti-Americans (i.e. Democrats, Leftists, RINOs and the Deep State). As the multiple catastrophes and suffering they and they alone have unleashed are collapsing around them, and unfortunately on top of us, even with a virtual lock on the media more and more people across the political/societal spectrum can see that Emperor Joey Lobster-Bib the First (and please God, the Last), so-called not only for his commie red sunburn but mostly for his mental capacity which is that of a crustacean, has no clothes.

When shriveled, diseased gonad Alejandro Mayorkas can go on television and spout garbage like this with an absolute straight face . . .

“So, we are seeing the greatest number of displaced people, not only at our southern border, not only in the Western Hemisphere, but across the globe. I am involved in bilateral and multilateral meetings with my counterparts from foreign countries in Europe, in Asia, in the Indo-Pacific, all over the world. And migration, the challenge of displaced people, is a subject that comes up in every single conversation. We have the effects of climate change, poverty, increasing level[s] of authoritarianism. There are very many challenges that are at the root cause of the displacement of people around the world.”

It's falling on deaf ears, and increasingly wide-open eyes. Oh yes, the climate has indeed changed. We now have a climate of abject chaos and fear, with criminals intentionally unleashed on our streets. Many who are "undocumented immigrants." Poverty? $34 TRILLION in national debt and climbing, while inflation is through the roof and personal savings are being wiped out along with jobs and growth.

Authoritarianism? Let me count the ways anyone who objects to Mayorkas and his puppet master's puppet masters in Kalorama feels the Manolo Blahnik high-heeled Sam Brinton jackboots on their neck. As I said, no one is buying this bullshit. And people are starting to get angry. People that the Democrats should be scared shitless about:

“I don’t understand this, this it going to cost 2.6 billion dollars for tax payers,” 50 Cent said in a Wednesday Instagram post. “They don’t even give veterans health insurance. [MSNBC anchor Ari Melber] call my phone now, help me understand this shit. WTF.”

In his post, the rapper also included an image of California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), above a caption that read, “California Becomes First US State to Offer Health Insurance to All Illegal Migrants.”

Mr. Cent (or should I call him 50?) gets it. Whether he's miffed that Uncle Sugar is throwing over American Blacks for illegal alien invaders strictly because of welfare, or in a more positive, pro-American vein as he hints at in his reference to veterans getting screwed, at this stage makes no difference to me. Traditional Democrat core constituencies are suffering the most, not only because of an erased border where millions of foreigners are usurping all of what's left of our economy, and as Joe Mannix in yesterday's Morning Rant noted our freedoms (Do not comment on old threads)

But at least they come bearing not only grifts but gifts! Smallpox, polio, measles, malaria and even leprosy. Funny how the junta destroyed the lives of many military man and woman and other civil servants for refusing a vaccination that at best was useless and at worst killed and maimed untold hundreds or perhaps thousands of people while de facto biological warfare is being unleashed on us from south of the non-existent border as no one is checked. Like we used to do at Ellis Island, but that was of course racist and xenophobic. We'll never know the real numbers of both because this illegitimate despicable junta will cover it up. But I digress.

50 Cent is perhaps anecdotal or an outlier. But over the past couple years, the anecdotal stories and outliers have been adding up. I think it's a trend. Will enough blacks stay home next November or even, dare I say it, cross over and vote Trump? He got a not insignificant percentage of black votes in 2016 which increased even more four years later. More than any other GOP candidate probably going back decades. Considering the disaster of the past three years, I should think Trump is on track to get enough of the black vote coupled, with black Democrats merely staying home, to potentially swing the election his way. Of course, the election-rigging and fraud factor notwithstanding.

Yes, the fraud exists as we saw in 2020 and I believe to a lesser yet not insignificant extent in the 2022 midterms. The problem is, in order for the steal to work this time around, with the polling numbers for Biden and Democrats cratering primarily because of the border and the economy, they now would have to engineer a steal so large that it would be absolutely obvious. They got away with it four years ago because, even with the insanity of the lockdowns, the nation and the world were not racing headlong into the abyss as it is now.

For sure, the George Floyd Summer of Love Boogaloo certainly did not do us any good from an electoral standpoint. That said, it's a long way to November and it's a pretty safe bet that the next black male choir boy (racist!) who was just turning his life around that gets it from a cop could spark another Summer of Love. Could be apples and oranges here but the departure of Claudine Gay only seems to be eliciting the fake outrage from the usual quarters. I think the average American Black could care fuck all.

Psaki-Psircling back, the bottom line on all of the above is that the Anti-Americans have or are on the cusp of losing control of the narrative. And the more they openly lie to our faces (our in this sense being an all-encompassing word) whether about the "greatest economy ever" or "the border is under complete control" or whatever, the more they look ridiculous and piss everyone off.

What to do? What else: Slam Trump as an existential threat to "our precious democracy" (vomit) and warn of – wait for it – the specter of white supremacy that Trump is inspiring. Get ready for your heads to explode this weekend.

The [so-called quote-unquote "president's"] reelection campaign has publicized Trump’s repeating rhetoric used by Adolf Hitler when he suggested that immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country,” as well as the former president joking that he’d only seek to serve as a dictator on the first day of his second term.

Biden’s kicking off 2024 by delving into some of the country’s darkest moments rather than an upbeat affirmation of his record is meant to clarify for voters what his team sees as the stakes of November’s election. During both events, he will characterize his predecessor as a serious threat to the nation’s founding principles, arguing that Trump — who has built a commanding early lead in the Republican presidential primary — will seek to undermine U.S. democracy should he win a second term.

“The leading candidate of a major party in the United States is running for president so that he can systematically dismantle and destroy our democracy,” said Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler.

Even if another Republican beats Trump in the GOP primary, Biden’s reelection argues the victor would be similar enough to the former president that the campaign’s themes would change little.

“Anybody who wins the MAGA Republican nomination is going to have done so by hard-tacking to the most extreme positions that we have seen in recent American history,” Tyler said.

A majority of Americans are concerned about the future of democracy in the upcoming election — though they differ along party lines on whom poses the threat.

The future of democracy? I hope it fucking dies, and not in darkness but in broad daylight, because this country is not supposed to be a fucking democracy; it was established as a representative constitutional Republic! What it is now is an expensive but tacky whorehouse of a banana republic. And Jill Biden's drapery reeks of tobacco, cabbage and crotch sweat from Maizie Hirohito's aging, lice-infested, scabies-ridden syphilitic, Epstein Island reject comfort women.

This rotting vegetable of a puppet is going to debase the sacred memory of those who bled and died at Valley Forge, just like he did last year at Independence Hall with that Nuremberg Rally red lights (how appropriate). These people are playing with fire because I'm starting to get the feeling that Trump actually has a shot at overcoming the cheat in the key swing states, and quite possibly a few other states that he might even swipe from Biden. Swipe, in the rhetorical and legal sense.

But what happens if he does indeed pull it off? Now that Biden and the Left have called him Hitler, and that he'll impose a dictatorship that will destroy democracy forever, they've essentially given the green light to restore it "by any means necessary." If they don't believe it, then they've backed themselves into a corner with the rhetoric because their insane base will force them to take action, if they don't do that themselves. To not do so means that Biden and company would face a lynch mob of their own supporters.

The sick thing is, I think they really actually believe the bullshit that they're peddling. They will stop at nothing now to stop Trump. It's obvious.
