Avoiding their obsession

The Left has an obsession with the Handmaid's Tale. This image is not from the recent Supreme Court leak. It is from the Kavanaugh hearing, which still inflames them.

When Justice Samuel Alito's draft majority opinion for the Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was leaked to the news media, it came as a shock. How could such a thing happen? Are the norms that keep our government together unraveling? For those who have followed the Supreme Court over the last several years, there is unfortunately more continuity to outrageous behavior than is often recognized.
Immediately after the leak, we learned that the sort of left-wing dark money groups that brought the Supreme Court confirmation process to new lows with their antics with Justice Kavanaugh's hearings are at it again. An outfit calling itself "Ruth Sent Us" has posted a map with the home addresses of what it calls "the six extremist justices" and organized protests next week at their personal homes. The radical left is now doxxing Supreme Court justices.

The weird thing is that Ruth thought that Roe V. Wade was not a great decision.

It is unlikely that many minds are going to be changed on this subject this weekend. It occurs to me that the most stringent of pro-life people are advocating making illegal exactly the things that the Obama administration tried to FORCE the Little Sisters of the Poor (nuns caring for the elderly indigent) to pay for, and Catholic hospitals and medical personnel to perform against their consciences.

But we can point out some inconsistencies. J.J. Sefton picked up this piece by Daniel Greenfield, perfect for Mother's Day weekend, saving the birthing people from having to birth:

The Left erased women. The "W" word, a concept so fundamental that every human culture and even animals understand it (proving that a donkey is smarter than a Democrat), vanished within a matter of years to be replaced by "birthing people".
Now the Democrats vow to save the "birthing people" from having to "birth".
Leftists used to accuse conservatives of reducing women to "baby-making machines" until they decided to go ahead and redefine women as "birthing machines" (which is completely different). That triumph of social justice, akin to spending a decade stamping out the use of "colored people", only to resurrect it as "people of color", was just another case of leftist projection.
Democrats spent generations reducing women to abortion or birthing people who don't birth. Redefining womanhood as a state of mind that anyone, no matter how hairy, can identify with and become, eliminated all the other planks of the feminist agenda leaving only abortion.

The radical movement used every Constitutional right and every social freedom to seize control of the means of communication and indoctrination to force that core message through the system. To the extent that much of the country believes that it is not free, it has succeeded.
Abortion is one of its wedge issues. It's a powerful wedge issue because it can be used to convince women that they're powerless. The pro-choice movement, like every leftist slogan, is an inversion. Its actual message is that women don't have a choice. That the "choice" is in the hands of two factions, only of which intends to allow women to choose as long as it's in power.
What the Left wants from women is to replace actual choice with the illusion of a binary choice. Its message is the familiar one of Big Brother, that power comes from surrendering individualism, and that security can only be found in the ranks of angry mobs. That is what we were seeing outside the Supreme Court. And it is what we see throughout identity politics.

On a lighter note,

Oh goody--the identity politics crowd has come up with a substitute term for "Latinx," which is hugely unpopular among hispanics according to repeated surveys. Campus Reform reports:

New York University's LGBTQ+ Center announced via Instagram that the university would be holding a slew of "Cultural and Identity-Based Graduation Celebrations" to "acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of graduating students of color and LGBTQ+ students."
Among the celebrations listed was an event titled "Latine Grad." "Latine" is a gender-neutral or non-binary alternative to "Latino," similar to "Latinx."
Latine was "created by gender non-binary and feminist communities in Spanish-speaking countries" to "remove gender from Spanish, by replacing it with the gender-neutral Spanish letter "e," which can already be found in words like estudiante."

Adjust your style guides, everyone!

Happy Mother's Day!

Meanwhile, other things are happening

Don't get too distracted.

Bari Weiss hosting a cop who describes how police came to be hated overnight in Seattle:

This February, Bruce Harrell, newly installed as mayor of Seattle, made it official: His city is in decline. "The truth is the status quo is unacceptable," Harrell said in his first state of the city address. "It seems like every day I hear stories of longtime small businesses closing their doors for good or leaving our city."
But it's not just small businesses.
Much of Seattle's core looks like a pockmarked ghost town. Storefronts on both sides of Third Avenue, a major thoroughfare, are boarded up. Blocks from the Four Seasons hotel and the Fairmont Hotel, tents crowd the sidewalks, and drug users sit under awnings holding pieces of foil over lighter flames. Traffic enforcement is minimal to nonexistent. In mid-March, Amazon announced that it was abandoning a 312,000-square-foot office space in downtown, citing concerns over crime.

That such woes should afflict one of the richest cities in the country--Seattle has a median household income of over $100,000--cannot be blamed on economic decline. The year 2020 saw a 68% spike in homicides, the highest number in 26 years, and the year 2021 saw a 40% surge in 911 calls for shots fired and a 100% surge in drive-by shootings. Petty crime plagues every neighborhood of the city, and downtown businesses have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to fund their own security.

What happened to Seattle? The answer, of course, depends on your politics.
In the news section of the Seattle Times, for instance, a reader is unlikely to see any consideration of a link between policing and public safety. . .

Should this have been in the news?

Just freeze their bank accounts

Last spring, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned Canada and other Western Arctic stakeholders -- the US, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland -- that all the resources beneath the ice melting in the Arctic Sea belong to the Russian government. "It has been absolutely clear for everyone for a long time that this is our territory, this is our land," Lavrov stated at a Moscow press conference. It would be stupid at this point to delude ourselves into believing he is blowing smoke regarding the Arctic as we assumed, for too long, was the case with Ukraine. We should assume he means what he says.

Weekend Pursuits

There was a post up at Powerline on VDH's favorites. Kind of interesting.

The daily Hoover Institution email alerted me to the Victor Davis Hanson show podcast on VDH's favorites -- favorite movies, favorite novels, favorite TV shows, favorite ancient Greek writer. Who could ask for anything more? The only problem with it is that it isn't longer. . . I don't think it's much of a plot spoiler to disclose that The Best Years of Our Lives is one of VDH's favorite films. Mark Harris tells the incredible story behind the film in Five Came Back (2014). I summarized it briefly on Power Line when I read the book and want to take the occasion to repeat it below. . .

Music

Controversy:

"Nobody even attempts to write a melody."
These were some of the infamous words of Merle Haggard when he gave his opinion on modern mainstream country back in 2015. Interesting words because while you can find plenty of people harping on the lack of lyrical content and substance in the mainstream, or bitching about the encroachment of other genres and electronic beats into their beloved country music, not many people have commented on what may be the most rampant problem running through modern American music: the consistent lack of memorable and engaging melodies.
But even though we don't mention it, this makes sense in the mainstream. Much of the stuff coming from Music Row is unimaginative and forgettable, and the lack of melody is only one small problem. So yeah, maybe we don't criticize it often enough, but it's not a stretch to see the undeniable lack of care for this crucial element in mainstream country.

Or are stupid lyrics the problem?

Here's somebody who seems to agree with Merle Haggard about a wider range of music What do you think?

How did Merle Haggard do in the melody department?

Hope you have something nice planned for this weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.

I think the real fear is that the question will become "what is a human being" because once that is asked at some point abortion is legally murder. (yes I know, but a lot of the argument is all about whether it is or is not by trying to define away what a human is)

That means all the argument becomes "but in this case it is OK" which does not really garner any votes or donations.

Sure. I get the principle of the thing. But translating that to making soup seems like a bad trade-off. Your liquid is hot, fine, but it's blended to a couple of cups of homogenous, liquid glop with no substance or texture. I'm not liking that as a technique for making soup.

Nah. Here's the thing:

If you want a creamy smooth soup, you can make a creamy smooth soup.

If you want a chunkier soup, you can make a chunkier soup by simply heating of the liquid base first with friction, then throw in your whatever, and blast it a few times with pulse and viola! chunky soup.

64 On the subject of Hollywood during WW2, I have to disagree with the statement from the trailer that "these five men changed the world." They did not, and that is an unfortunate reminder that Hollywood values itself and the phony world that it projects above all other things. Most of Hollywood, including and maybe especially John Wayne, were obsessed with avoiding or minimizing military service, particularly that which might actually get them killed or injured. Exceptions? Of course, Jimmy Stewart above all, but too many simply avoided service all together and then donned uniformed roles in countless profit-seeking adventures at the expense of those who did serve. Nope, no heroes there at all.

73 64 There was a colony of Brits in Hollywood, doing their best to avoid going back to Old Blighty. Then you had David Niven, who couldn't get back fast enough. He was a Sandhurst grad, and for awhile was stuck making what could be called propaganda flicks. He finally got his wishes, and was in a unit broadcasting fake troop movements to the Krauts. They got in close enough to observe units mobilizing. Also, Peter Ustinov was his batman (valet and personal aide).

that's a little overstated. Tyrone Power, the country's top box office pretty boy, had a pilot license and flew transport and rescue missions for the Marines in the pacific theater.

Clark Gable specifically requested the most dangerous missions because he had a death wish due to his bride's untimely death.

May is "sweeps month" in the broadcasting bizz. A period when the networks and local outlets attempt to boot their ratings by attracting more eyes and ears. The traditional way to do that in the news area is with sensational stories..."We're ALL gonna DIE!!" By boosting their viewership during this period, they can attract more advertising and charge more for their commercial spots. During this period, when I worked in the TV bizz, we, in engineering, were prohibited from doing any upgrades or other work that might interrupt the program steam. That included routing transmitter (at the Empire State building) maintenance that could possible cause an outage. So, expect to see and hear hysterical news reports turned up to 11.

Yeah they have their talking points, based on 50 years ago, and will not update or change them a single iota because it is fearmongering nonsense.

I used to game in a college on the weekends sometimes with a group that was attending. They had a room on a floor where the Wymyn's Studies classes were. They had handouts on the doors and every so often I'd get one and look at it.

It was the worst kind of bigoted, man-hating crap you could imagine, and promoted a mix of half-truths, deliberate misinterpretation of data, and just straight up whole cloth lies. And instead of "lets talk about this and learn" stuff it was "memorize this and repeat it back to me" grade school level instruction.

The talking points of the leftist feminist radicals has not changed because most of it was lies to begin with and who cares what the truth is? Its like having classes taught by a girl who was rejected by a man she loved and is super bitter about men in general, forever.

239 Forgive me if it seems harsh, but I have to ask, why is it that the most fervently pro-abortion people, such as those in the picture, are heifers, lesbians or aging barren hippie leftovers, none of whom will ever have to worry about getting knocked up? I think it's jealousy. They've hit that point in their life where they're beginning to realize that the only things between their legs are cobwebs and wasted potential, so they want to destroy it for the women who are still able to bear children. They want to force their own bad, now regretful, decisions onto everyone else so that they can maybe hate themselves a little bit less.

everything happening now has happened before.

Confucius on the Rectification of Names:
"If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything."

252 Quint, most of the words "added" to the dictionary are modisms and neologisms that are added because they are whatever Hip and Cool are supposed to now.

Like "Smellfungus" they will be invalid within a decade, and are just an editor's opinion from a Manhattan office building what is meaningful on the streets where they have never been.
Most of the words added are either technology driven, from foreign language borrowings, slang, or hip neologisms created in part for neurolinguistic programming. The neologisms, slang and foreign borrowings generally don't have much staying power unless there is a valid need for a new word -- when was the last time you heard someone say "Audi-5000" for skating out of a place fast?

There is a concern that new words will set the precedent for new words or phrases, but that is what a language does to adapt to a new situations. In France and Spain they require authorization for "correct" language and they generally do what is already being done, but academics get paid for it. In English at least the academics do it anyways but have to hope to get paid.

There is a podcast called "Strong Songs." This week he did "Wichita Lineman" as written by Jimmy Webb and recorded by Glen Campbell. There was a very interesting explanation of how Webb believed he had only written half of the song. But Campbell and the Wrecking Crew had it pretty much in the can by the time Webb showed up in the studio. No bridge, no chorus.

The podcaster does a good job of explaining how the chord progressions work, and how the vocal melody can be a steady pitch while the music works down the scale. Of course, the best part of "Wichita Lineman" ballad of loneliness is the two lines:

You know I need you more than want you,

It could also mean that the CIA is lest competent, less focused or less doctrinaire than it is claimed.

Conspiracy theories are many things: They are a search for explanation for what has happened, denial of responsibility by the parties involved, and a way to shift blame for mismanagement.

Allende was a left populist who took the traditional path of a South American government, added collectivization and nationalization of major industries to steal their profits to cover the expense of it all, and then had to deal with the economic collapse that it caused.

I think you're right. The Atwood books I've read usually have a component of this. Canada feeling angry and small as a country, and Atwood needed to tar better looking/ more desirable women.

311 With all the discussion about blender-prepared foods, I was inspired to attempt a blender omelet. Three eggs, two slices of back bacon, grated cheddar cheese, whirled in the blender, and poured into a buttered non-stick frypan. I think the pan was too hot, and the mixture scorched on the bottom of the pan, belying the "non-stick" claim. And it didn't rise all that much. Tasted moderately OK, and I ate it, because hungry.

Apply what Gordon Scott said about pans. Also, in line with Alton Brown's recipe, blend only the eggs at high speed for several minutes and then add the cheese, etc. during the regular point in cooking an omelet. See if that improves things...

320 Many women are obsessed by the notion that men "have it all" and that they are disadvantaged. They put off or don't have kids in order to compete, and when time runs out and the men they work with have families, this is unfair too. Then kids become commodities, purchased from another country or purchased via surrogates and egg "donors". As a purchase is often viewed as property, ALL kids become property for you to do what like. It's ugly out there because of these sick ideas.

When my daughter was in college, some woman on the West Coast was in this position. She had a surrogate lined up and wanted an Ivy League egg "donor", which meant buy one from a young woman. She focused on several girls to the point of harassment. This was the closest thing to Atwood's book I ever saw, and it was a deliberately infertile woman and her spouse finding a suitable girl to buy from. Sick bitch

It is. And the "buyers" are the creepiest part. Roe and surrogacy has changed the parental relationship and made children possessions, or pets, to the parents and largely to the women when they are no relation to the child. Yes, I know there are many fine adoptive parents, but a purchase is not an adoption. And the 40k my kid and the other girls were offered in 2000, afforded serious ownership, of a person who would never really be hers.

My wife and I were offered $20,000 in 1976 for our newborn daughter. Adjusted for inflation, that's $140,000. The lawyer would have gotten about the same amount from the adopting parents for writing an adoption contract. So we're up over a quarter million in today's dollars the adopting parents would have to had to pay.

After the offer the ObGyn delivering dude who stunk of booze tripped over a stool, and fell flat on his face in the delivery room. I smirked. We found a better Dr and hospital for our second child.

As an update to the Boy Scout thing, the judge now has to decide if the average award of about $30,000 per person is reasonable. That's based on the BSA giving up 20% of its assets. What a joke. I hope she tells the BSA to dig deeper or go completely bankrupt.

They're only going to shed all those billion dollars of assets and stick them in their own pockets in the next few years anyway. The lawyers forced them into a corner and the BSA thought that *perhaps* 10,000 former scouts would come forward. Almost ten times as many actually did.

And I'm sure he was. The predators pushing their way in was a monstrous crime on children. I had a friend, now deceased, who was a private school teacher, who became a scout leader. He and his wife could not have kids. Over the years they essentially, but not officially, adopted 3 boys who were neglected by their parents. The mom dropped them off and said "Mr. Smith, if you think they're so great, you raise them". So he and his wife did. The sad little boys thrived and grew into two doctors and an airline pilot. There are good people, but I think the culture changed people in many ways.

I guess he'd rather forget, so I let it rest, despite being able to confirm his molestation if he wanted to join in the lawsuit.

When it comes to experience, the Boy Scouts have almost a century of dealing with abuse of a sexual nature. The experience they gained in that period of time was worthless to them. Sure, they created a list of the perverts and (hopefully) never hired them again. I was told the pervert that my camp-mate and I were abused by was told to pack his bags and was driven off the camp grounds that night. Was he hired back the next week?
