By the Way...

You know who brought it to the alleged "conservative" Rich Lowry's attention that the Covington video was #FakeNews?

It was the proudly left-wing YouTuber Tim Pool.

I've linked Tim Pool a lot. He's left-of-center, but he is full of basic common sense and a spirit of fair play and against race/gender "identitarianism" on both the right and left.

Half the stories I put up I get from Tim Pool.

Well not half. But a lot. Three or four a week.

I watch almost all of his videos, except on the days when he shits out seven of them. Too many!

Anyway, here's the point:

It took a leftwing guy (though a fair-minded and sensible one) to actually watch the videos and tell the alleged right-wing guy Rich Lowry that he was pushing a false story and unfairly condemning innocent children who had done literally nothing wrong.

So that's where we are: The people we donate money to advocate for us can't throw us under the bus fast enough, and don't even bother to watch the evidence they're basing their rush-to-judgment on, and a leftwing guy, who you don't pay at all (though you can, of course, donate to his Patreon or whatnot) has to correct him and present the evidence that the "rightwing" guy is crucifying conservative kids for no reason except that he felt pressure from Jezebel to do so.

I'm sorry, I need this explained to me:

What do we need National Review for, then?

If a leftwing guy (eh, kinda leftwing -- moderate on policy issues, but he knows the hard left's playbook) needs to explain to our "rightwing advocates" that they should look at the evidence before convicting children of hate crimes, do we need a rightwing media any more?

Maybe people should cancel whatever donations they were planning to make to National Review and donate it to advocates who actually get things done and influence people, like Tim Pool and says-he's-a-classic-British-liberal-but-sounds-like-an-American-conservative Sargon of Akkad.

Or maybe donate to American Greatness. Or to the American Mind. Or to The Federalist -- so when FusionGPS' paid ops shit out the twitter hashtag #WhoFundsTheFederalist?, you can say, "I fund them, motherfucker."

Or donate to this here blog.

Should we continue funding failure? What do we expect will come out of our continuing investment in failure?

We asked them to take our concerns to the establishment, to act as our tribunes to the actual decision-makers, so that our concerns would be addressed.

They mostly refused, and mostly delivered the establishment's concerns to us.

We asked them to take our side against the media's constant attacks.

They mostly refused. People like David French have a nice little cottage industry going of calling conservatives racists in The Atlantic.

We asked them to score a political victory for us once in a while.

They completely failed. This may be our fault, for wrongly assuming they had any efficacy or influence to begin with.

Now we're down to the very most minimal request: Please don't scalp-hunt our children just because Jezebel and the HuffPo are doing it and you don't want to feel like a left-out Nazi.

That's what we're down to. That's how low we've lowered the bar. We're no longer asking them to do anything positive for us.

We're just down to begging them not to attack our children because our children are Suspiciously White and Male.

Based on Frankovich's non-apology, and The Editors' determination to keep minimizing their role in this lynch mob and blaming the media (but not themselves!) for pushing a false story that put innocent kids' lives in danger and families in fear -- I'm not sure what their answer is here.

They have not made any commitments, for example, to forbid their NeverTrump-deranged writers from joining in any viral video/outrage mob in the first 48 hours.

They've made no commitments at all. Like the leftist media itself, their apology is tepid, and they refuse to make any tangible promises about changes they will make to prevent this from happening again.

So I guess we'll just have to... trust them.

Like we trust the regular leftwing media.

Personally, I don't read National Review any more, and have not in literal years. The only time I see it is on the rare occasion someone tells me that Andrew McCarthy has written something worth reading (something that isn't his customary defend-his-former-colleagues-at-all-costs reflex).

That, and when I'm alerted that Jonah Goldberg is plagiarizing me again.

I'm not even aware of National Review any longer. They're... they're just so far out of the arena they have no effect on the game at all. (Except when they want to add credibility to a leftwing lynching operation.)

They don't get shit done. They don't influence anyone.

And they don't have conservatives' backs.

Tim Pool is not a conservative, but he does know that the hard left -- the "identitarian left," the antifa left-- plays dirty and he does not like it.

Tim Pool is worth fifteen cucks from National Review -- and he's actually a left-winger to boot!

That says something.

That says a lot.

If a one-man operation, consisting of one left-of-center commentator, is a better defender of innocently slandered conservative boys and a better critic of leftwing panic-mobs than our alleged right-wing institutions:

What is the point of having these institutions?

As a Bob asked in Office Space:

"What is it you'd say you do here?"

Maybe it's time to do some trimming of the deadweight. Maybe it's time to start funding other people who do not have a proven track record of complete failure and fecklessness, and who actually have an impulse to fight the left's brutalizations of conservative voters instead of saying, "Hey, if we surrendered some more, it might confuse them!"

What cannot be reformed must be destroyed.



Expect more snark from AllahPundit and the other preening cucks about how Trump should stay out of this and leave the kids' defense to the Adults in the Room who can really protect them, like National Review, Bill Kristol, Ana Navaro, Seth "The Beefcake Avenger" Mandel, etc....

The only reason it became that it did is because we have a Culture of Personal Distruction and the media thought they could use this to trash Trump.

A stupid face-to-face between a kid and a grievance monger where NEITHER OF THEM EVEN SPOKE, much less laid a finger on each other? THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR A SOCIETAL CRISIS or even event unless you're fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Now its become one that's really about the blatant bias and evil of our chattering class and how they're lying and manipulating and fomenting hate.

Ocasio-Cortez questioning the social good of such a thing as a 'billionaire', for instance. When I was a bong-ripping libertarian, I would have laughed this off. Well... look what the billionaires are doing. I don't feel any more full of liberty because, instead of Congress telling me what I can say, Jeff Bezos and Sergei Brin tell me what I can say.

We are not actually their funding source. Pretend conservatives and shadowy billionaires are. It must be said, and often, that these people are astroturfed frauds. Keeping them around only reinforces the notion that we do not have a free media, therefore the First Amendment (and especially NYT va Sullivan) is void.

Denounce them constantly. Remind people they are Potemkin conservatives. Starve them of attention. Remind them constantly of their failings in Iraq and Wall Street. And especially shame those cuckservatives who continue engaging them.

58 That Tucker segment you linked earlier ace, its so great in that Steyn and others point out a critical problem

This isn't just a kerfluffle. This isn't some outrage storm against a celebrity. Its the rich and powerful and influential deliberately targeting and trying to destroy a buncha kids. Nobodies with no power and no influence, no reach. They aren't even RICH kids, they're just kids. This is the powerful trying to destroy the weak and for what? Even what they are accused of wasn't remotely awful enough to justify a fraction of the response.

And as Julie Kelly writes at American Greatness:

So, what motivated a seemingly measured man like Frankovich to pen a midnight hit piece on teenagers? What compelled Lowry and Nordlinger to join the outrage mob, and Goldberg to defend their choice?

Confirmation Bias does not go far enough to match this berserk shark swarm. This was more than just "pile on" it was visceral and furious, it was passionate and from a gut level hate. For these kids??

When the so-called adults are part of the problem, then who exactly can "the children" turn to. Their diocese threw them under the bus before the facts were out.
The cucks on the right, well, we see them for what they are. It may come as a suprise to these kids how they've been reduced to less than human, to being an avatar of evil, just so some preening asshole can signal his virtues, but that's adults for you.

The adults in many cases are kids who grew old. No maturity, no wisdom, no sense of protection or fair play.

I fit Dave Rubin, Sargon, pretty much anyone on the left I respect in that category.

114 At 66, I first began reading NR at around the age of 13. Certainly some memorable articles/issues back in the day. I remember, clear as if it were still in front of me, Buckley's assault on the George Wallace "moment." Frank Meyer was a clear-sighted gem. And in later years, Buckley attracted unusual "visionaries" like D. Keith Mano and Malachi Martin. Now ...

Not so much. Even Victor Davis Hanson seems to appear there less and only Andy McCarthy soldiers on. I always feared that the Reagan years might make them "establishment" types, rooting for their own position rather than what was so.

Halliday also pitched a perfect game earlier that year. The post-season no-hitter was marred only by a walk in the fifth inning.

In other words, he came within an eyelash of two perfect games in one season. No other pitcher has had two in his career.

Four times? Sorry dude, the elephant in the "Media" room is the stories they don't cover, which should also be termed "fake news" when those omissions are read into that they DO cover. And that number is a big one.

How many reporters, combined, did NYT, CNN, WaPo, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS put on the story about Lois Lerner and Holly Paz re Obama Administration trying to alter the 2012 election by targeting Conservative non-profits?

How many total minutes, in the aggregate, did those same players spend on THAT story?

Compare to any story involving Stormy Daniels. And the Deep State scandal over the Muh Russia investigation? How many reporters? How many minutes of coverage? How many revisits of previous articles proven false by facts that later emerge?

Fake News is omnipresent. In fact, we should drop the term Fake News. Because there isn't any "News" anymore. The Progressive media platforms above are bare naked platforms for communicating Progressive messaging to the masses. That's what they do and that's all they do.

258 I actually cut off NR and began to donate to AmGreat (the "The Journal of American Greatness" then) when the latter first emerged and the former no longer was anything but an obvious shill for the Left. That decision was validated when Jonah Goldberg and the other fossils became obsessed with outing Michael Anton, who had written the landmark "Flight 93 Election" essay anonymously. It has caused no small amount of satisfaction that the intellectual heft on the Right now can be found in AmGreat, and NR is fading and going away in a very ugly manner.


So, yes, ace, donate wisely. And a few bucks your way in a few weeks. Hot stuff here deserves support.

I thought it was sorta crazy initially " that crazy tv guy who builds casinos".
But I listened to him speak. And more importantly I watched him interact with regular schlubs. Like me.
After 8 years of Presidential abuse , I just wanted someone who would talk about shit that mattered to guys like me.

A billionaire Joe-Sixpack? I didn't care. I just knew that I connected with what he said while the rest sounded like blah-blah elitist assholes...even Ted, who my better judgement and people smarter than me said was the only logical choice.
It is sorta fairytale stuff I guess. I don't think he is perfect. But I think freaking out and criticizing him at every turn can wait until after we beat the crap out of the Leftist Lynch Mob ace has described so vividly.

And don't hand me that "foundation will save them" crap, the money isn't infinite. There's a reason they beg for donations and run ads."

Exactly. Even donors demand metrics to show the recipients of their largesse are being effective, such as subscription numbers, clicks, etc. If their reach is shrinking, donors will abandon them.

ace has it exactly right. We are down to please do not actively hurt us and even that is a bridge too far.

I'm having a bit of a problem with the use of the word "children" in referring to these high schoolers. When I first went to high school, I was a bit over 6 feet tall and about 175 pounds wide.

Ruth remains the gold standard. Arguments for others are always predicated on how they surpass Ruth. And if anyone ranks higher, it's due to an era/strength of competition argument. No one can match Ruth's raw numbers.

The House, yes. So both the Senate and the House vote down Trump's position and pass the CR. The CR then goes to Trump for his signature.

Karl Malone was my favorite NBA player, back when i used to watch pro sports in HS. He was a man, not flashy and arrogant, has(or had) his own trucking company. he wasn't selfish, or disrespectful. You know, a real man, someone to look up to. But i guess that makes him republican, or something, so its ok to do blackface and portray him as a simplminded fool. It wasn't offensive, I'm sure Karl didn't find it offensive, but I bet Jimmy wouldn't do it in front of him. Oh, and White girls? remeber that movie? of course I didn't see it, but was anybody calling that racist? I don't remeber anyone being offended by it, except that it was a steaming pile of dookie.

I'm all for it if we can arrange a betting game with real money. Kind of like those Super Bowl square games, where we bid on the number of hours, down to 10ths of an hour (may need more sensitivity here; down to the double-digit second) it takes before Ace is perma-banned by Google.

435 I'm not clear on the R proposal in the Senate, assume it's just Trump's package as offered in his TV address. To simplify and summarize brutally, I do not understand WH strategery on key items.


Including DACA, a ridiculously unconstitutional stunt that will now possibly get some sort of weird post-facto legitimacy via congressional action even as the lawless judiciary mulls it over, and what I believe is the absence of a fix to the asylum scam, which shares the limelight as the biggest actual border issue at the moment.

442 Read an interesting comment on another site by a former NR reader who had actually gone on one of their cruises about 8 years ago. He said it was mainly Chamber of Commerce types, some snobby Ivy Leaguers, and a smaller group of vets and normal people who were ignored by the more obviously well-heeled crowd, but had a good time hanging out with each other. Sounds like the conservative divide was in place on that cruise, years before Trump.


"Oh, Lovey, why are all these deplorable low-lives on this cruise? They're obviously not Haaarvard material. Look, there's that nice Mr. X . We had a lovely chat last night about how hard it is to find a good nanny. We'd like to hire an American, but they always want so much money."

446 As a damn foreigner many thousands of miles away, from my distant perspective I have noticed with some alarm that the Orange-Man-Bad symbol, the red MAGA hat, is being given the swastika treatment. As noted above by AtC, people are being pushed to Trump. My belief is that this is because he is taking on the establishment, the "elite", from within. Not just the left, but the whole political/lobby complex. And it is becoming a trend worldwide - Brazil, Brexit, yellow jackets, etc.. The "elite" are using the best tool they have to fight back: the media. The goal is to make those who are wavering shy away from supporting Trump. Thus, the message is MAGA hat = bad. Like a Nazi with a swastika. Fortunately, there are better business conditions, with more jobs and more money in the economy. So there is confusion and wavering and questions. That's why the message is targeted at a symbol, rather than on anything tangible. Anyone who wears that red hat must be bad. Doesn't matter which particular demographic they're in, they are bad. Even the message is careful. The descriptor is "bad", not evil. Evil can be defined, and then argued for or against. The non-specific term "bad" is hard to push back against. People may consider themselves good or evil, but nobody wants to be "bad". It is a hard message to fight, which is why the establishment are using it.
Here in far-away-land, we get the media message without the accompanying economic benefits that Trump is delivering to the USA. So I'd say, 99% of my friends and associates think Orange Man Bad, MAGA hat Bad, USA crazy for voting for him. And that message is coming from ALL sides of the political spectrum. They have all become antidisestablishmentarianists (ooh I always wanted to use that word!).
My guess is that the term "anarchist" will be used a lot over the next two years, because it represents the fear of disorder that normals hate, and because it can be easily mis-read as antichrist. And when Trump wins in 2020 (because the opposition really isn't up to speed yet), the system will be changed to ensure that no-one like Trump can ever, ever upset the establishment again. And that worries me the most.

I thought the same thing when I read this. Bad, bad idea. Maybe he thinks he has to do it to calm things down, and that is his choice. I hope he is getting good counsel. These Today Show people are not looking out for his best interests.

Also, If Trump is going to meet with the kids, it should be right now. After the shutdown ends makes no sense at all. When is the shutdown going to end? I mean, it could be a great field trip for them at some point, but it will no longer matter as far as the narrative goes. Maybe they decided it would be a bad idea, and if so that is fine.

450 Chris, the first ballot was a bit of a mess. The Hall was brand new. Voters weren't well instructed on how to.base their votes. And hundreds of players were eligible. In the end they picked the right 5 guys even if a few left off Ruth and Cobb and Wagner.

Ruth remains the gold standard. Arguments for others are always predicated on how they surpass Ruth. And if anyone ranks higher, it's due to an era/strength of competition argument. No one can match Ruth's raw numbers.

Posted by: Joseph W. at January 23, 2019 09:51 AM (DbRE3)

458 I couldn't agree more with this piece.

There was a study done a while back (Tetlock) that has some relevance to National Review in particular, and social media in general. The study confirmed that experts were far more unwilling to change their positions -- even when confronted with evidence that directly contradicts those positions -- when they had publicly proclaimed a position in advance of the contradicting evidence.

This speaks to the polarization we see. Everyone is posting their opinions on Facebook and they become entrenched.

More particularly, it applies to all the NeverTrumpers like David French, Jonah Goldberg and the crew at National Review. They publicly staked out an anti-Trump position. Now, they don't have the stomach to admit they were wrong. They will die on the erroneous hill they're defending.

Can't happen soon enough, in my opinion. First, the Weekly Standard and Bill Kristol. Let's extinguish the National Review next. Charlatan conservatives.

460 Why the unhinged outrage!? They got it wrong based on the first news and then retracted when the truth came out... That makes them so terrible?

It baffles me why anyone who says they are conservative would have backed a liberal Democrat to be the GOP nominee in the first place. Trump doesn't care about conservative causes, only himself. If he really cared about the Wall, why didn't he try to get it built immediately?

Why does it get under your skin so much to hear criticism of Trump? Big time liberal NY Democrat destroying the GOP thanks to unhinged "conservatives".

461 Nice job Ace. But TBH, these bastards were exposed during the election. Their reaction to being criticized by followers was to disable commenting. I've been calling them out as liars ever since, especially that smugturd named Goldberg. Goldberg's most recent NT screed claimed disdain for Trump originates from trump's low character, which is pretty ridiculous coming from someone who claims to support our country's founding principles, but don't really, and someone who would've along with attacking kids for smiling while white, and someone who, I've heard from reliable sources living near him, regularly kicks his dog. The NR people are truly disgusting and hardly worthy of your time and talent to criticize. They ruined WFB's great legacy. Just let them stew in their monumental failure.

465 Contemporary Western culture has not yet adapted to the Internet era, generally, while members of the "news media" are having great difficulty with Social Media specifically.

We are struggling to create new ethics and morality about how to relate to one another, what to share, what to keep private, who to trust, who to ignore. It's not going well.

Just as the printing press up-ended the Western world in the early 16th Century, our new communication technology, the Internet, is upending ours. I just hope we learn how to make this all work without another 30 Years War.
