If anyone here has noticed, I’m not particularly fond of Trump. I didn’t vote for him in either of the presidential elections but, goddamn if I can’t acknowledge that in the bizzaro 21st century the dude’s a rockstar.

Nah, she’s just an obsession for a particular rag for whatever previously agreed upon reason. Plus she has to go through outfit changes, makeup, posing and photoshoots for attention. Not exactly hard work but Trump can sit on a couch, scratch his balls, send out a social media message and set the world’s media ablaze.

“ I was just reading about the panic that occurred in the American Medical Association, when their journal’s deputy editor argued on a podcast that socio-economic factors were more significant in poor outcomes for non-whites than “structural racism.” As you might imagine, any kind of questioning of this orthodoxy required the defenestration of the deputy editor and the resignation of the editor-in-chief. The episode was withdrawn from public viewing, and the top editor replaced it with a Maoist apology/confession before he accepted his own fate.”
I hadn’t heard about that. I knew the AMA had gone political but that’s fairly astounding.
And before we dismiss the AMA s yet another skinsuited lobbying group, remember that they are heavily involved in setting physician fee reimbursement rates for Medicare.
“ I caught a glimpse of Ibram X. Kendi’s recent appearance at the Aspen Ideas Festival, the annual woke, oxygen-deprived hajj for the left-media elites. He was asked to define racism — something you’d think he’d have thought a bit about. This was his response: “Racism is a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity that are substantiated by racist ideas.””
LOL. He can’t even formulate a sentence that isn’t circular, let alone an argument.
Racism is when you’re racist is a good definition for if you want to be technically correct without giving any information.
Like the rest of these “scholars”, he is a pathological cult leader.

Check out the Katie Herzog article in Bari Weiss’s substack I posted yesterday. It’s long, but very informative.
Thanks, will do
My armchair diagnosis is that the psychiatrist is a psychopath who is guilty of a massive amount of projection.
She’s truly a lunatic that shouldn’t be anywhere near a patient.
Both Herzog and Weiss, but especially Weiss give way too much concession, good faith, and credence to the Hihn-spec CRT advocates and apologists who try downplaying it all or maintaining that “structural” racism is much more of a threat than CRT. The same people that pushed hard on the “cultural marxism doesn’t exist/is just a far right racist dog whistle”. Herzog, Weiss, and other orphans of the legacy media world are still quite tightly wedded to the idea of widespread “structural” racism, but they are at least more balanced in how they see any remedy to it. Appealing to the innate goodness of people and challenging/changing their attitudes positively rather than just cancelling them or whatever.
That’s something else that irks me about a lot of coverage that is otherwise worth reading; the conflation and simplification of many terms “cultural marxism”, “critical race theory”, “cancel culture”, “wokeness”, etc. I wish I could remember what it was that I read but there was a high degree of just saying “conservatives are dumb because they miss the principle”, which is often true, but it also managed to completely muddle the issue by refusing to understand how this stuff works, and being lazy about trying to comprehend it to any useful degree.
“cultural marxism” is an oxymoron, at least to anyone who actually studied Marx.

Some Democrats have cast doubt on whether Biden should continue to negotiate with Republicans as the talks draw on and the two sides remain miles apart. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York Democrat who’s a leading progressive in the House, accused Republicans on Friday of operating in bad faith.
“I question why we are even deciding to negotiate with the Republicans,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “Erin Burnett OutFront,” adding, “I understand wanting to engage in bipartisanship, but they have not negotiated with us and tried to engage with us in good faith since this session has begun.”
Good faith negotiators.

The proposed accord, which could form the basis of a global pact next month, is aimed at ending a decades-long “race to the bottom” in which countries have competed to attract corporate giants with ultra-low tax rates and exemptions.
That has in turn cost their public coffers hundreds of billions of dollars — a shortfall they now need to recoup all the more urgently to pay for the huge cost of propping up economies ravaged by the coronavirus crisis.
——-
The U.S. has proposed levying the new global minimum tax only on the world’s 100 largest and most profitable companies.
Britain, Germany and France are open to this but want to ensure companies such as Amazon — which has lower profit margins than other tech firms — do not escape the net.
It’s not fair to limit taxes to profits. Governments need that money to do great things.
Congrats, now you’ll have companies split into two. The profitable parts will be located in Djibouti or wherever and the minimum viable logistical part will be run barebones and nearly profitless in all those countries.
Oh, pshaw! Good corporate citizens want to do their part in ushering in utopia.

I’m increasingly convinced that nothing they do matters. Masks don’t “work”. Lockdowns don’t “work”. The numbers are going to be the same everywhere in the end.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized the ruling Friday, calling AR-15’s a “weapon of war.”
He said in a statement that the comparison made by the judge between a Swiss Army Knife and the AR-15 “completely undermines the credibility of this decision and is a slap in the face to the families who’ve lost loved ones to this weapon.”
Newsom added: “We’re not backing down from this fight, and we’ll continue pushing for common sense gun laws that will save lives.”
Newsom’s comments are based on a record of proven success. We just need to fine tune our definition of common sense a bit.
Newsom is an enormous horse’s ass, and I disregard anything that comes out of his cake orifice as a matter of course.
I don’t think I saw this story mentioned yesterday:
FBI subpoenas USA Today to find out who read a particular article
“FBI demands USA Today hand over details of EVERYONE who read online story about two FBI agents killed during Florida child porn raid, but newspaper REFUSES First Amendment ‘violation’
Now, the FBI is for the phone numbers and IP addresses of everyone who clicked on the story during a 35-window that night, between 8.03pm and 8.38pm.
The subpoena does not specify why the FBI wants the information, or what it continues to investigate given the fact the agents’ killer is dead. All it says is that it will aid the investigation.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9653491/USA-Today-fights-FBI-subpoena-asking-hand-readers-information.html
Did the FBI find any child porn?
“phone numbers”? What makes them think they have the phone numbers?
That’s not something that gets sent by the browser so it could be logged.
A phone number could probably be correlated with an IP address, but that’s
the sort of database that the requestor is more likely to have than the requestee.
The whole thing makes no sense. What could who read an article possibly tell them?
I’m not
a nerdtech savvy, but I do read lot of thrillers and watch spy/cop movies so my guess is that the FBI is on a case where they know someone is trafficking kiddie porn but don’t know who. They somehow* get an image of the bad guys secret hideout, and they “enhance” the image until they can make out a reflection of a laptop in a window or some other shiny object in the background and see that the unsub had that USA Today article opened at about 8:20pm.*the bad guy is probably fucking with them and sending them shit to prove he’s smarter than they are.
As I understand it, the FBI very well may be the biggest distributor of child porn. Fancy that: A bunch of Feds sitting around jacking off to their own perverted tastes in the name of stopping the activities they encourage.
It’s an inexhaustible source of funding from Congress. Just say the words “stop kiddie porn” and they fall over themselves to throw money at it.
“As I understand it, the FBI very well may be the biggest distributor of child porn.”

Devastating argument bro.
Just as neoliberalism was not the final chapter of Western history, authoritarianism/communism is not the final chapter of China’s history. The People’s Republic of China is a formidable adversary and a villainous state, but posts like this remind me somewhat of the best and brightest U.S. government advisors sitting around in 1988 sincerely making 50-year plans for dealing with the Soviet Union.
“Glasnost has done nothing to free the eastern bloc.” — Winston, 1988, probably
Well yeah the one note-ism is a bit tiring, but the trend lines ain’t great though. In the last 20 years the west has, on the whole, gotten less free than China has gotten more free. I’m very much pro free trade, but the utilitarian arguments for it aren’t doing so well right now. The principled arguments for it (IE, who the hell are you to tell two entities they can’t trade with each other?) remain quite strong. And of course long-term utilitarian freer societies tend to be much happier than feudal ones.
We literally just went through a scenario where our government didn’t think they could get away with a repressive set of policies until they saw China successfully do it, and so they then followed suit. This is by their own words. Not a great look. We might be winning the long term battle, but at the moment it would have to be well disguised.

Before 2020, governments being able to put entire populations under house arrest and to force businesses to close depending on what they deem essential would have seemed absurd. Likewise, had someone written a book about a world where governments began printing money to subsidize large sections of the population whom they prohibited from earning a living, it would unquestionably have belonged in the fiction section.

SCIENCE! is what I say it is
Anthony Fauci on Friday night brushed off what he called “inappropriate” and “distorted” attacks against him.
When asked if he was worried about the recent flood of criticism over the nation’s Covid-19 response and investigation into the pandemic’s origins, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser said he’s more concerned about the attack on science.
“It is what it is. I’m a public figure. I’m going to take the arrows and the slings. But they’re just fabricated,” Fauci told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “But we’ll just have to do our jobs. My job was to make a vaccine and use my institute and these talented scientists that we have there and that we fund in the various universities to get a vaccine that was highly safe and highly effective, and we succeeded.”
Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease doctor across successive administrations, has been a frequent target of conservatives throughout the pandemic, but attacks heated back up this week after a trove of his emails were published as part of a Freedom of Information Act request filed by various news outlets. Hours after his emails hit the internet, #FauciLeaks was trending on Twitter, accusing him of lying under oath about the origins of Covid.
Unbelievers! Heretics!
How dare they attack the High Priest of the doomsday cult?
Look Brooks, everything will make more sense after getting pricked. Just get your two doses and your booster and your yearly variant…

Yeah longhorns were used by early Texas settlers because they were hardy and athletic, like deer.

Question: are there any Never Trumpers who are anti-lockdown? I mean Trump did initially support them after all….
Of course not. Hating Trump is an inevitable consequence ov loving Science!
Fauci reiterated Friday that he thinks it’s important to investigate the disease’s origins after politicians across the aisle, scientists and the media gave new life to the theory that the coronavirus spread after a laboratory accident in China.
“But it is being approached now in a very vehement way, in a very distorted way, I believe, by attacking me,” Fauci said. “I think the question is extremely legitimate. You should want to know how this happened so that we can make sure it doesn’t happen again. But what’s happened, in the middle of all of that, I’ve become the object of extraordinary, I believe, completely inappropriate, distorted, misleading and misrepresented attacks.”
It’s a funny thing. When you push yourself into the spotlight and become the “face” of something, you’re liable to get blamed when things go south.

This is how our elites think, people. They are mainstreaming anti-white racism, and treating it as good. This is a psychiatrist, invited by Yale to speak about white people as psychopaths, fantasizing openly about murdering white people because of the color of their skin, and we just go along like it’s no big deal. The New York Times doesn’t care. The Washington Post doesn’t care. NPR doesn’t care. The networks don’t care. If a whiny middle-aged white woman makes life uncomfortable for a person of color in public, it’s time for a new round of Karen stories. But let one of the most privileged people in this country — a Yale psychiatrist — deliver a lecture demonizing white people, and … yawn. The fact that Dr. Khilanani felt at liberty to give a talk like this without fear of repercussion tells you a lot about where we are.
He may be a socon reactionary lockdowner but he is not wrong…
The New York Times doesn’t care. The Washington Post doesn’t care. NPR doesn’t care. The networks don’t care.
Many conservatives seem to still be missing the point. The left hates you and will do everything in their power to dominate or kill you. Whinging about the media’s double standard is laughable. Of course they have a double standard. They want you mollified.
mollifiedemasculatedInternal dictionary error *shrug*
They are saying the quiet parts out loud with increasing boldness, aren’t they?
I didn’t think we’d arrive at “advocates genocide” this quickly.
There’s nothing wrong with pointing out hypocrisy and double standards though although it does get tiresome to hear. The people that don’t pay as close attention need to be aware of it.
The problem with Rod Dreher, in his own words:
“I want to vote for a presidental candidate [who’s nothing like Trump]” and then I dunno, magic happens. At least he admits “I’m not sure what can be done” in the following sentences. You have to start at the head end of the problem. Politics is at the tail end. The tail can sometimes wag the dog but it doesn’t last. I will give Dreher this, taking on these folks on their own turf, in this case journalism and media, in opposition to them, is a good start. But he should tone down the whiny bitchiness.
I doubt we will ever see another presidential candidate in my lifetime who will promise that let alone achieve it.
I can agree with that to a point as Trump had some good ideas, some bad ideas, but was mostly an unfocused mess. A DeSantis/Paul ticket would be nice.
Unfocused and mean mess. That’s about what 1/3 of my acquaintances who voted for Biden thought, and that probably explains why Trump lost even though a substantial portion of the voters didn’t particularly care for Biden either.
Biden said Mittens Romney wanted to put black people in chains, and people — including Mittens — think Trump is preternaturally mean.
Savior
“Yes, I’m very confident in Dr. Fauci,” Biden told reporters in Delaware after giving remarks on the economy. Biden had left the room, but popped back in to respond to a question about the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Fauci has been a target for some Republicans dating back to last year, when he evolved his guidance on masking and distancing as more information about the pandemic emerged. Former President Trump turned Fauci into a consistent foil at campaign rallies as he and other Republicans held the doctor up as an example of an overcautious approach to the pandemic that had shut down the economy. Fauci required a security detail as he and his family faced threats.
Fauci has reemerged as a punching bag for conservatives over his explanations for the origins of the coronavirus. Trump and other conservatives have argued the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China, and suggested Fauci was not forthcoming about the evidence for that theory.
——-
The White House on Thursday, asked about the recently published emails, praised Fauci for his work on the pandemic response.
“The president and the administration feel that Dr. Fauci has played an incredible role in getting the pandemic under control, being a voice to the public throughout the course of this pandemic,” press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters. “And, again, I would reiterate a lot of these emails are from 17 months ago or more, certainly predating this administration, but some time ago in — as we look to history.”
History’s greatest medical expert. Trump held him back.
Considering his record on AIDS Fauci’s nothing but a prime example of a bureaucrat failing up and chastening him would set a bad example. Half the people in positions of high power in government owe their success to the same mechanisms.
Fauci is a prime example of the corrosive effect of having J Edgar length control of a government agency. And public health over the past forty years has been, as far as infectious diseases, been dominated by AIDS and work in third world countries and that level of paternalistic thinking completely permeates the field.
Hahahahahahaha
Outright, prolonged laughter.
Good stuff from Andrew there.
To say that BLM are not Marxists is disingenuous literalism. Yes, they say “we are not a Marxist organisation”. But they also say “We are […] all anti-capitalists”. If you are an anti-capitalist, but not a Marxist – what are you?
Yes, there are non-Marxist versions of socialism. You could be a Bakuninite anarcho-communist, for example. But
a.) there aren’t that many of those, and
b.) unless you are a professional commie watcher like me, you will probably subsume those under “Marxism”.
So this is disingenuous hair-splitting. It’s as if somebody said “The IEA are neoliberals”, and I said “No, ackshually, some of us subscribe to the Austrian School of Economics”. It’s a distinction which only matters to 12 people in the country. BLM ARE a Marxist organisation.

Happy Gun Violence Awareness Day! I recommend heading to the local shooting range today, and demonstrating your awareness of gun violence by practicing the most effective way to stop it.
You want us to go to the range and teach all the rednecks there about systemic racism?
Sure, sounds like a blast. Post the video to TikTok.
Yes, calling a bunch of armed rednecks racist is a good way to increase your awareness of gun violence.
A. It is the system that is racist, not those rednecks*.
B. Even if I were calling the rednecks racists, if employing gun violence is their go-to response to being insulted then they have severe anger management issued and shouldn’t be allowed to play with firearms.
*Sure they more than likely are, but that’s not what systemic racism is about.
“Sure they more than likely are, but that’s not what systemic racism is about.”
Now who’s collectivizing?
Call for references.
Have you met Rednecks?
You’ve heard my voice. I AM one.
Racist or use unacceptable language?
I just assume that someone, regardless of accent, is not a racist until proven otherwise (provided I actually think about it, which I don’t). Me, I’ve got the country redneck accent, so I read Hyperbole as saying he would assume I am racist because of my accent. He has not defined “redneck”, nor has he supplied any examples other than “redneck”. I subbed my own definition, i.e., an uncultured accent.
Rednecks don’t write 3,000 page novels.
I see, only you can do sarcasm and hyperbole. Everyone else needs to be taken at their literal word.
Fuck, you’re exhausting…
Sure other people can do it, they just don’t do it as well.
I’ll be heading out to my range, by which I mean, my deck.

Joe Biden. Saving the world.
From kkkapitalism.
Finance ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) nations have put their support behind the Biden administration’s ambitious plan to overhaul the global tax system, backing a minimum tax of at least 15% on corporate earnings.
UK finance minister Rishi Sunak announced the agreement in a video posted on Twitter Saturday, saying G7 finance ministers — hailing from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US — had “reached a historic agreement to reform the global tax system to make it fit for the global digital age and, crucially, to make sure that it’s fair so that the right companies pay the right tax in the right places.”
The agreement was made during a G7 meeting of finance ministers in London, attended by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, where she sought backing for the administration’s efforts to rewrite international tax rules and discourage American companies from booking earnings abroad.
Yellen said Saturday that the agreement was a “significant, unprecedented commitment,” from the world’s richest economies aimed at preventing companies from avoiding taxes by shifting profits overseas.
Huzzah! The Law of Unintended Consequences has been repealed. It’ll be smooth sailing, from here on.
“That global minimum tax would end the race-to-the-bottom in corporate taxation, and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the U.S. and around the world,” she said, adding that the tax would also level “the playing field for businesses and encouraging countries to compete on positive bases, such as educating and training our work forces and investing in research and development and infrastructure.”
So- what you’re saying is your hovercraft is full of eels.
“In my first four months in office, more than two million jobs have been created.

I imagine neutering the economy for nearly a year had something to do with it, big guy. You should be thanking your blue state governors.
Now who’s collectivizing?
Barry the Baptist?
“I hate these fucking southern fairies!”
“Fuckin notheren monkays”
I get Galbraith and Keynes confused, other than Galbraith’s claim to being World’s Tallest Economist. Other than that, two peas, one pod. They would have permanent secure jobs in the Biden Admin.
Now that everything Fauci has said, re: covid, has been refuted by him at some point. Statistics and stuff, that damned decimal point so little and yet so important.
I just think of Galbraith as being both Keynes’ biographer, and the vessel through which Keynes himself lives on, so sort of like an autobiography in a way. He’s got that incredibly arrogant, smirking, dismissive tone than leftists so often ascribe to right wingers (at least here in the UK), and yet it always ends up being them projecting their own arrogance. See the Nick Sandmann mob.
