Interesting take on how to respond to Monkeygate.   It is possible to understand that it is probably not appropriate for POTUS or his staff to have sent out the video intentionally.  Especially had they intentionally sent the whole thing.   Yet, that's not what happened, and Monkeygate is one more tempest in a teapot for the ASPL to blow out of proportion.

This is a perfect example of suicidal empathy.  A Muslim judge who clearly has greater allegiance to Muslim  rapists than to UK law or UK society will eventually destroy a culture that is thousands of years old.

No one should be surprised that Hamas finally confirmed the death toll that resulted from their attack on Israel, and that the numbers of women and children noncombatants killed  was significantly less than originally trumpeted.  Also not surprising is that this news will get buried.

How much longer will it take for Newsome to completely destroy California's economy?

The above Tweet is an anecdotal story, which should probably be taken into account.  Yet it seems possible to go to Yelp and verify whether or not the review part is True.  The problem is that this fits with exactly the kind of behavior we see from the ASPL.  Intolerance, personal attacks, vindictiveness, are what the new left has chosen.

This seems a bit ironic.

The fact that there are idiots who think that Walz is not radical enough is hilarious.

When the inevitable wrongful death suits come, MN/Hennepin Country/MPLS should absolutely be defendants.  They could have stopped virtually every negative thing that's happened.

Thank goodness she's on her way out.  I don't think she understands the job of a prosecutor.

Seeing a bunch of mostly white suburban students protesting carrying Mexican flags seems strange to me.

When the MN state auditor confirms that Walz/Ellison fraud, they both need to go now.

Since when are newspapers sacred?   It's not like there aren't newspapers throughout the country, many of whom send reporters to DC on a regular basis.  It's also not like this is some big conservative conspiracy to destroy the Washington Post or something.  What a whiny, ridiculous, piece.  

 https://x.com/wretchardthecat/status/2020327389583335632?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

It's not wrong.

This seems like a bad thing to me.  If a politically extreme teacher can manipulate/force their students to "protest" for their pet issue and potentially expose them to danger, I have a problem with that.  Especially as a teacher has authority and power over their students and can coerce or threaten them to participate.

BVMLTT, he's not wrong.

No one had Fetterman being the reasonable, sane, DFL congressman on their bingo card.

Well, what have we here.  A scientific study which undercuts Dan's hunches about ASPL and their penchant for violence.

Why wouldn't we want this fine, upstanding, gentleman walking free in MN?

This is exactly how the small, local voter fraud that the ASPL dismisses as irrelevant becomes relevant on a large scale.  Thanks CNN.

Wholesome?

 https://x.com/washingtonpost/status/2020856563385106692

Maybe this is why the Washington Post is in serious trouble.   If they think celebrating promiscuous sex is "wholesome" and "traditional family values", they should be out of business.  

 

 

I can totally see why the people bitching about some decades old Kid Rock lyrics were so excited for Bad Bunny to perform.  Because clearly his lyrical content is much more wholesome and uplifting than Kid Rock.   I guess singing in Spanish lets you get away with all sorts of things.  

I'm not advocating for Kid Rock here.  I find much of his lyrical content problematic was well.  I am pointing out more hypocrisy on the part of the ASPL.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill M Makes A Good Point

He's got a point.  But even beyond his excellent point is the fact that we are seeing all of these behaviors increasing in the US and Western Europe.  So it's not even like the NIMBYs don't have an excuse.  

Half Time Show Thoughts

 For the record, I ended up working yesterday, and only saw part of the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl.  I dis not see either halftime show so I have no opinions on the actual performances.  But I do have some broader thoughts.  

First, it seems like the alternate halftime show drew large enough numbers (despite being on harder to access media channels) that the NFL might have cause for concern.  It seems likely that there will be another one of these next year and with the "success" and more time, it seems possible that they will pull in some bigger draw performers. 

Second, I think that the failure of the NFL to use the halftime show as a means to showcase local performers is a mistake.   

Third,  I do not see why the NFL couldn't put on their own alternate halftime show(s).   There are likely thousands of people who would love to participate on some way in the Super Bowl experience and I suspect that  one or more half hour sets by local performers in other venues would draw significant crowds (For example, I suspect that thousands would have shown up to watch a 30 minute set by Metallica yesterday) to the venue.   Pick different genres than the main show for wider appeal.  Broadcast the alternate shows on other affiliated channels/You Tube and count the total number of views for advertising purposes.  Seems like a win for everyone.  

Fourth, I have no idea what Kid Rock's spiritual life is like but the framing of his performance as one of transformation and redemption seems like a cool idea.  

Fifth, the furor over decades old lyrics from a Kid Rock song while ignoring the equally vile lyrics of Bad Bunny seems like a contrived outrage.   Especially coming from those on the left.  

Sixth, likewise the contrived outrage over the profaning of the sacred TBN "airwaves" is ridiculous.  Considering the years of really bizarre theology that have been on TBN, it seems strange to complain about this.  Especially if the whole redemption narrative is True.   

Sixth,  after a conversation about the halftime performers I did some quick research.  From 2020-2026 every headliner has been from the rap/urban/R&B world.    From 2011-2020 the headliners have mostly been from the pop/rap/R&B/dance world.  2005-2010 was a string of some of the biggest rock bands (and Prince) on the planet.     It seems like the Country/Americana folks have gotten shut out completely for a long time, and the mash ups of artists of multiple genres haven't been seen since the early 2000s.  Maybe some diversity would be a good thing.  

LCD

 I’ve said this multiple times before, but clearly stupidity is a bigger obstacle than I thought.  

I post links to Twitter posts for multiple reasons.

1.  It’s the official Twitter account of a news organization or politician.

2.  It’s an easier way to post videos. Clips from MSM shows are excellent examples.  The comments are often informative as well.

3.   It’s something that I find interesting.

4.  I follow a number of non conservative professors or stats/data folks and want to present their findings in their own words.

5.  Videos.

6.   I try very much to post enough context for people to confirm things, and I regularly delete inaccurate information.  

7.   There are people with enough time to dig up old news clips of DFL leaders contradicting themselves.  

8. Someone edits a 20 minute segment on a CNN show down for, while still allowing anyone who cares to find the context.  

I generally assume that the reader has the ability separate these different types of posts and deal with them appropriately.   I, foolishly it turns out, believed that it made sense that the official Twitter account of someone or an organization would be understood to be them speaking for themselves.   I further believed that most people can differentiate between the medium and the message and understand that the medium does not automatically negate the message.

I do understand that having the idiotic discussion takes away from more important things, but sometimes the lowest common denominator needs to be addressed.
