The utter idiocy of anti-Semitism Anti-Semitism has no place among real Catholics

Carrie Prejean Boller is a very attractive young lady with a very ugly soul. She claims to be a Roman Catholic, but I have to ask: is her Bible just one of those small New Testaments that the Gideons leave in hotel nightstands? Does she cover her ears during the first reading on Sunday Mass, which is normally from the Old Testament, the ancient Jewish scriptures? Does she sit there stone-faced during the responsorial psalm, the works primarily of David, King of Israel and Judah? What does she do when most American Catholic parishes sing Oh come, oh, come, Emmanuel at the beginning of Advent?

She even depicted herself as St Joan of Arc, though, amusingly enough, she had images of Jesus and Mary, who were both Jews, in the background.

I don’t know how often she attends Mass, but she at least tweeted support when the late Charlie Kirk talked about his family going to Mass every week.

But there she is, ranting about “Zionists” and “Zios”, and supporting the Palestinians who, if they actually achieved the Islamist government they want, would put her into chattel sex slavery to a much older Muslim man, assuming that they didn’t just slit her throat.

Christianity does not exist without Judaism! The majority of our Bible are the ancient Jewish scriptures, which give us the laws of God and the prophesies of the Messiah being sent to us, foretold by Jewish prophets. Jesus himself was Jewish, born into a Jewish family, and teaching in synagogues. If Miss Boller take communion, receives the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist, she is imitating Jesus and the Apostles as they gathered together for a Passover meal!

There is, however, more than just religion involved in this. Israel is our easternmost bastion of Western civilization, of freedom, democracy, religious tolerance, and free enterprise. Miss Boller can rage and rant about the Jooooos all she wants on Twitter — I refuse to call it š• — because she enjoys the freedom of speech and of the press that the West provides. It’s not just those freedoms, but the existence of technology almost entirely developed in the West, including in Israel, that gives her the means to express her opinions beyond her physical circle of friends. From the first printing press, to the development of radio, and then television, and that internet thingy that Al Gore invented, she is benefitting from the technology developed in the West. Biz Stone, one of the four creators of Twitter, which she uses to attack Jews, is himself Jewish.

If she uses a cellular phone, she is using technology that was in significant part developed in Israel. If she has been vaccinated for polio, she has been kept safe by one of the two vaccines, both of which were developed by Jews.

Anti-Semitism has no place in the developed world, because so much of what has made us the modern world was developed by people of Jewish heritage. And anti-Semitism has no place in the Catholicism she claims.

The Israel she hates so much? I have been, all too briefly, to Jerusalem, I have gone to Mass in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, I have been to the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane, I have walked the Via Dolorosa, all things important to Catholics, and all things protected and preserved by Israel.

The Muslims she champions? ISIS destroyed ancient relics in Syria and Iraq, because they considered them idolatrous, while the Taliban of Afghanistan destroyed several ancient sites and a library, for the same reasons. If the Islamists won in the Holy Land, if they drove the Jews into the sea, there is no particular reason to believe that they would be any less destructive of Christian sites.

But I just saw where she called Candace Owens brave, simply more proof that she hates the Jooooos.

The absolute insanity of “sanctuary” policies It seems that none of the credentialed media wanted to report on this

You know, I get it: some of our good friends on the left really, really think that the people who came to the United States seeking a better life are, at heart, good people, who should be allowed to stay in the United States and contribute to our culture, society, and economy. But even if that is the way you feel, does it make sense to try to shield this man from Immigration and Customs Enforcement?

The Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia office tweeted:

On Feb. 11, @EROPhiladelphia arrested Ibrahim George Kallon, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone in C/O (Corrections Officer — DRP) training at DelCo (Delaware County, Pennsylvania — DRP) Prison. In 2025, Kallon was charged w/ rape, IDSI, sexual assault and false imprisonment. @DelCoPa released him without alerting ICE! Now in our custody!

One of my Philadelphia friends, who goes by the nom de guerre Stinky Feat, responded to ERO Philadelphia’s tweet with this information:

šŸšØ Iā€™m told that this illegal alien and accused rapist so graciously had their bail decreased to ONE DOLLAR immediately after ICE agents attempted to take him into federal custody and were denied šŸšØ This is what @delcotimes should be reporting on if true

According to court documents, the image of which my good friend provided, Mr Kallon was arrested on June 21, 2025, with bail set at $250,000, a hardly excessive amount for someone charged with Forcible Rape, Title 18 Ā§3121(a)(1), a first-degree felony in the Keystone State, which carries a sentence of greater than ten and up to twenty years in prison.

Mr Kallon was unable to make that bail, and, as an early Christmas present, on December 4, 2025, his bail was reduced to $100,000, with a required 10% to be posted to get him out of the hoosegow. He apparently could not make that, either, but then, on February 5th, his bail was reduced to $1.00, one stinking dollar, and he was released, released without notifying ICE that an illegal immigrant charged with false imprisonment and forcible rape was set free.

Fortunately, ERO was able to apprehend this alleged rapist.

Site searches of both the Delaware County Daily Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer returned nothing on the case. A google search returned nothing more than has been documented here. It seems that none of the credentialed media chose to report on this.

But really, who in their right mind, even someone who doesn’t support President Trump’s immigration policies, would set someone like Mr Kallon loose like that? This isn’t a case of a hard-working construction worker who got busted because he had a headlight burned out and no driver’s license, but a man accused of forcible rape!

I could understand a policy which attempted to shield the decent people, but policies to not report an illegal immigrant who is a real criminal to ICE? How does that make sense, other than the left hating President Trump more than they care about American citizens.

A “five-star general” backs down

Fortunately, Kentucky Girl’s tweet that the idiotic Police Chief of Motor City was going to fire an officer for notifying Immigration and Customs Enforcement turned our to be superseded by time; the officers in question will receive only thirty-day unpaid suspensions rather than losing their jobs, losing their jobs for obeying the law!

Detroit police chief won’t terminate two officers who contacted Border Patrol amid traffic stops

By Paula Wethington | Friday, February 20, 2026 | 5:10 PM EST | CBS Detroit

Reversing a stance he publicly took previously in the case, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison says he will concur with a 30-day suspension of two officers and no longer pursue their terminations.

Bettison issued that statement on Friday, following up on Thursday’s vote from the Board of Police Commissioners to suspend a police sergeant and an officer.

The police chief said last week that he planned to terminate both officers after they contacted U.S. Customs and Border Protection during two separate traffic stops, adding that their actions were against the department’s policy. The calls, Bettison said, resulted in the individuals being detained by federal agents. Should there be translation services required, the department has a contract with a company that can do so.

“There’s absolutely no reason to contact federal law enforcement agencies to assist with translation services,” he said previously about the investigation.

The two incidents happened on Dec. 16, 2025, and Feb. 9, 2026. A routine audit of body-worn cameras brought the incidents to his attention.

The Detroit News also has the story, but it’s hidden behind a paywall.

What caught my eye was the photo of Toad Todd Bettison. I have previously mocked the habit of police chiefs like former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw wearing four stars on their uniforms, like they are full generals in the United States Army, and have previously and positively noted how Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers wears only the eagle of a colonel. But Chief Bettison had to go one step further, and wear the five-star collar starts of a General of the Army or Fleet Admiral. That’s some major self-aggrandizement there! The last American promoted to a five-star rank was General of the Army Omar Bradley, in 1951, then Chief of Staff of the United States Army, the promotion being made so he would not be outranked by his subordinate, Douglas MacArthur.

But Chief Bettison wears five stars! Perhaps he’ll start carrying a Field Marshal’s baton next.

The size of the Detroit Police Department coincides with that of a regiment in the Army, and a regiment is normally commanded by a colonel or a brigadier general.

Of course, five-star generals don’t back down, but little General Bettison did, from his promise to fire the two law-abiding officers.

What actual evidence is there that leftists are intelligent?

With every day that passes, I become more and more persuaded that our good friends on the left, who believe that they are just smarter than conservatives, are really not very bright. They see a guy like the late Robert Dorgan who shot his ex-wife and kids, who didn’t believe that a guy who looked like this could possibly be a woman, and want to blame the family for not accepting his ‘transition’ for his barbaric rage. We saw another mentally ill male who thought he was a girl shoot up a high school in British Columbia, and the Associated Press told us the shooting was committed by a “woman”, even though the fact he was ‘transgender’ was already public knowledge, as though no one would ever find out the truth.

The left were also blaming that idiot’s actions on the (assumed) fact that the people who knew him wouldn’t accept him as a girl.

Now there’s this, in which the pro-Palestinians try to make people feel sorry for the poor, poor Palestinians, for the idiots who started a stupid war that they could not win, thinking that people will forget or ignore just who started that war.

But, perhaps it’s unfair to call the fine gentleman who posted that a leftist. What he was assuming is that the people who would see his tweet and feel sympathy would be Western liberals, and that they would be stupid enough to feel sympathy for the Palestinians who started that war, and who celebrated the October 7th massacre in the streets of Gaza.

Then we have all of the stories about innocent Americans killed by illegal immigrants, immigrants who had no intention of assimilating into peaceful American culture, but brought the savagery from the [insert slang term for feces here]hole countries they fled, and what do we get? We get practically the entire Democratic Party resisting the efforts of President Trump to find and deport those people who are in the country illegally. There’s not even the nuance of the left saying, “OK, we’ll help you deport the bad guys, but let’s find a way to regularize the decent people,” but them going all out to defend even the thugs and scumbags.

Realistically, what evidence is there that liberals in the United States are intelligent at all?

Thinking, as in actual thinking, seems to be beyond them.

This is what country people do!

From Miller’s Creek Fire and Rescue:

Stella moved to safety.

This morning (Monday, February 16, 2026) just before 10 AM MCFR received a request for assistants in reference to a cow that was down and could not get up. Unit 8 and Squad 8 responded with 3 firefghters trained in large animal rescue and several other firefighters assisted. Crews were able to setup a high point rope system and raised the cow, slid a stokes basket under and moved her to an open area to be cared for. We want to thank our partners with the Estill County Rescue Squad for assisting in making this a successful rescue.

We just finished our fundraiser to order our large animal equipment and will place that order soon. We are looking forward to adding this equipment to make our job easier.

We are happy to report that ā€œStellaā€ is doing well and gaining energy.

Thank you 4hooves large animal services and Dr. Grimes for your advice today.

There are more photos at the original.

Miller’s Creek Fire and Rescue is a volunteer fire station, men doing what needs to be done on their own, helping people without getting paid for it. Chad, the station chief, helped out my family during the flood of 2021, when our HVAC system was underwater and the flood floated the propane tank, so we couldn’t use the fireplace for heating; our house itself did not flood. We still had electricity, so Chad brought over some electric space heaters to help keep the place livable. This was before the volunteer fire station was established, which started in 2024.

I stopped by the fire station last spring, because I had a piece of metal that had to be cut, and wanted to borrow a torch. Well, the fire station didn’t have a torch, but gave me the name and phone number of a neighbor who did. I called him, and he drove right down, cut the metal for me himself, and wouldn’t hear of me paying him; he was just being a good neighbor.

Out in the wilds of eastern Kentucky, I can’t just walk a couple of blocks and pick up freshly baked croissants from a French boulangerie, and our restaurant choices are few, basically diner food. We don’t have the luxuries that some of my Philadelphia and other ‘urbanist’ friends have, no high-class restaurants, no city nightlife, no Wawa coffee šŸ™ but we do have one thing: we have great people around here!

While my wife and I grew up in the Bluegrass State, we aren’t from Estill County, yet the people here accepted us as if we were old, old friends. That’s something you just don’t get in the city.

That thing that never happens has happened again

We’re just a week from the mass murders by a mentally ill boy who thought he was a girl, yet here we go again. From the New York Post:

Trans dad Robert Dorgan shoots wife, 3 kids in horrid ā€˜family disputeā€™ at crowded RI hockey arena as players and fans are seen scrambling to safety

By Chris Nesi and Caitlin McCormack | Monday, February 16, 2026 | 11:46 PM EST

A twisted trans father shot his wife, three kids and a family friend in the stands at a high school hockey tournament in Rhode Island on Monday ā€” sending the panicked crowd screaming and fleeing for the exits.

Two people were killed and three others are in critical condition at a hospital after the gunfire erupted at Lynch Arena in Pawtucket around 2:30 p.m., according to cops, who described the incident as a targeted family dispute.

The shooter, identified as 56-year-old Robert Dorgan ā€” who also went by Roberta Esposito ā€” died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Dorgan was the father of a senior at North Providence High School, one of the six schools participating in the co-op games, WPRI reported. He shot his sonā€™s mother, their three children and a family friend who were all spectators at the game, according to reports.

Robert Dorgan, from Libs of TikTok, via the New York Post.

But don’t you dare think that being transgender, being a man male who thinks he’s a woman, is a mental illness, or you’re a h8er, a transphobe, a thoroughly mean person, and, of course, an evil reich-wing Donald Trump supporter!

And don’t you dare think that “Roberto Esposito,” pictured to the left, wasn’t obviously a woman, wasn’t the very flower of femineity. How could you ever doubt that he truly felt like a woman?

The Post continued to note that another man in the stands grabbed a gun away from Mr Dorgan, but “they” had a second weapon. Yes, the article used the plural pronoun.

The New York Times? Well, the Grey Lady, our nation’s most famous and respected newspaper, did cover the story, but simply said that a “motive for the shooting was not known, though it appeared to arise from a family dispute.” The newspaper stated further that the killer “went by two different names,” but did not report what those names were, nor the fact that the murderer was transgender. Way to bury the lede!

Why, it’s almost as though our nation’s foremost example if journalistic integrity wanted to hide the facts from it’s readers! I guess those things aren’t really News That’s Fit to Print!

The dead? That would be Mr Dorgan’s wife and one of his children. The survivors were reported to be in critical condition.

From the Post again:

A woman who was seen leaving the Pawtucket Police Department following the deadly rampage told reporters, ā€œMy father was the shooterā€ and claimed that he was plagued by ā€œmental health issues.ā€

ā€œHe shot my family, and heā€™s dead now,ā€ she said, adding that he was ā€œvery sick.ā€

There’s an old rag that New Yorkers buy the Times so people on the subway will think that’s what they are reading, when in actuality they’re using the Times to cover up the fact they’re reading the Post. Given the quality of reporting from the Grey Lady, perhaps they should use the Post to hide the fact that they’re reading the Times.

Now you know why I call it Journolism! ** Updated! 9:05 PM EST ** #FreedomOfThePress includes the right not to publish what you don't want to publish, but concealing uncomfortable facts hurts the media's reputation

In the wake of the roughly 300 layoffs at The Washington Post, there has been a lot of blame spread, both among the subscribers who quit for owner Jeff Bezos refusing to endorse Kamala Harris Emhoff in 2024, and the paper itself for it’s very liberal leanings. The Post managed to piss off both the conservatives who might have been willing to subscribe, and the liberals who cancelled their subscriptions. Mr Bezos, in trying to fix a long-ongoing problem, fouled up.

But let me be clear here: the Freedom of the Press includes the freedom not to publish something. That should be obvious: there are only so many pages a newspaper can print, though with digital publishing these days, those limits have expanded.

And now we see just what isn’t being published, when it doesn’t fit Teh Narrative. When the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in a small town in northeast British Columbia occurred, the Associated Press told us, at 8:59 AM EST, that the (alleged) killer was a “woman” and a “female suspect.” At 9:32 AM EST, CNN simply identified the killer as “they,” being careful to not use a pronoun to specify the killer’s sex. At 9:32 AM EST, The New York Times told us nothing about the shooter.

But, as early as 6:48 AM EST, Matt Van Swol was telling us on Twitter the news which was not politically correct, that the killer was a mentally ill boy who thought he was a girl. I checked the credentialed media, and found several instances of the media concealing the knowledge that the (alleged) killer was transgender.

The killer’s name is Jesse Van Rootselaar, though initially identified as Jesse Strang, 18 years old, and yes, he’s transgender.

I don’t get it. The credentialed media want to build trust in their accuracy, so why conceal information that they know will come out soon enough?

My spelling ā€˜journolistā€™ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. And now you know why I spell it that way.

Well, eventually even The New York Times had to admit what had previously been revealed, that young Mr Van Rootselaar was the killer, and that the “suspect” was born as biologically male and chose to identify as a female about six years ago. That acknowledgement was time-stamped at 2:45 PM EST, just three minutes short of eight hours after Mr Van Swol’s tweet. The Times also revealed that the “suspect” had quit school four years earlier, which would have meant he wasn’t in school since age 14.

From the Times at 3:19 PM EST:

ā€œPolice had attended that residence on a number of occasions over the last several years dealing with concerns of mental health with our suspect,ā€ Dwayne McDonald, the deputy commissioner, said, referring to the home where the suspectā€™s mother and stepbrother were found dead. On one of those occasions, ā€œfirearms were seized.ā€ The most recent police call to the residence was in the spring of last year.

So, the local police already knew that young Mr Van Rootselaar was just plain nuts. Isn’t being biologically one sex but believing you are the other one definition of just plain nuts?

Of course, the newspaper continued to use the feminine pronouns to refer to the killer, as did local officials, because for some stupid reason they think a guy calling himself a girl really is a girl; are the editors and writers at the Times just as nuts as Mr Van Rootselaar?

Yeah, I think that they are!

The internet has not made the left smarter; it has really made them stupid

Remember how people used to say that a lack of information was responsible for people doing or saying some not bright things? Remember how our good friends on the left have been claiming that it was only stupid and ignorant people who voted for Donald Trump? Paula on Bluesky told me that President Trump “was elected by uneducated, ignorant people,” and that “His core voters are not educable. They are the worst among us who feel unrestrained in their racism and sexism and other ugly beliefs. The ones who were just taken in by his lies have already turned against him.”

And so we come to Lexie Lawler:

Boca Raton nurse fired after viral video wishing birth complications on Trump press secretary

By Joel Lopez | Friday, January 23, 2026 | 7:17 PM EST

A nurse at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital has been fired after posting a viral social media video wishing health complications on President Donald Trump’s press secretary during childbirth.

A woman identified as Lexie Lawler, who said she was a labor and delivery nurse in the 14-second video, recorded herself wishing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt would suffer a fourth-degree tear during childbirth with long-term complications.

Lawler also used a derogatory term to describe Leavitt in the video. Leavitt announced her pregnancy on Instagram in December, saying she’s expecting a baby girl in May. A LinkedIn profile under the same name indicates Lawler worked at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

There’s more at the original.

The lovely Miss Lawler, who apparently did have access to all of the information she could ever want, given that she has a internet connection which enabled her to post on Tik Tok, went on a rant which Chaya Raichik, who started and operates the Twitter — I refuse to call it š• — site Libs of TikTok found, and tweeted it out, and made it viral.

Miss Lawler was fired by her now-former employer, saying “While we respect the right to personal opinions, there is no place in healthcare for language or behavior that calls into question a caregiver’s ability to provide compassionate, unbiased care.”

Then we saw the story of how security guards and emergency room personnel at NYU Langone Health in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn delayed and tried to deny treatment for a minor injury to a New York Police Department detective following a scuffle with a suspect because they mistook them for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, agents. Emergency room personnel are doctors and nurses, who are all college educated, yet some of them were stupid enough to break the long-standing medical ethic of not denying emergency treatment.

The famously childless Amanda Marcotte, who declared that if her birth control ever failed — something unlikely now, since she is 48 years old — she’d get an abortion, is all in on hating pregnancy even for other women:

Everyoneā€™s heard of someone having a baby in a doomed bid to save a marriage. But to save a fascist ideological project is a new one. OK, OK ā€” no one can prove that Second Lady Usha Vance, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, all got pregnant as a concurrent MAGA propaganda project. No more, anyway, than we can say that itā€™s anything but a wild coincidence that nearly all the women vying for Donald Trumpā€˜s favor seem to have undergone the same intensive cosmetic surgery regimen to achieve ā€œMar-a-Lago face.ā€ But it sure is lucky timing that all these women got pregnant, right when the MAGA coalition is starting to feel forlorn, torn asunder by infighting and the growing sense that the presidentā€™s declining health does not bode well for their future.

Also see: Darleen Click, “AWFL Marcotte Throws Tantrum ‘Babies are White Supremacy’“

Jokes aside, all these pregnancies would likely be unremarkable except for the fact that the MAGA movement is obsessed with making babies. Vice President JD Vance famously spent years denouncing childless women as ā€œmiserable,ā€ ā€œsociopathsā€ and claiming they ā€œmust be stoppedā€ from having a role in public life. Billionaire Elon Musk frequently rails about the supposed dangers to humanity from slightly lower birth rates. Kevin Roberts, the architect of Project 2025 who heads the Heritage Foundation, even ranted in his book about the evils of dog parks on the unpersuasive grounds that well-to-do urban women were substituting pet ownership for their duty to have more children. The late Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, frequently scolded women to give up their careers to have ā€œmore kids than they can afford.ā€ Thereā€™s even Natal Con, an annual right-wing conference attended mostly by men, who get together and hype the idea that American wombs are being under-utilized by the women who still have control over them.

Miss Marcotte referred to it as “the GOPā€™s mini-baby boom,” but perhaps it’s not so mini after all:

(T)hese authors looked at young adults ages 25 to 35 who self-identify as liberal or conservative. They found that young liberal women today are much less likely to have children than young conservative women, with a gap of more than 30 percentage points.

USA Today columnist Ingrid Jacques reported:

Families have also been moving to red states that better reflect their values. In states where Trump won the popular vote, the aggregate child population increased by 7.3% since 2000. The opposite was true in states where Harris won the popular vote ā€“ the child population decreased by 7.1%.

No wonder Miss Marcotte is slamming pregnancies among Trump Administration families! She hates everything about President Trump, and his supporters reproducing? Heaven forfend! She concluded:

If readers are skeptical that the Millers will convince anyone that Mr. Miller is besting Ocasio-Cortez in the attractiveness category ā€” well, letā€™s just say equally unpersuasive is the entire effort to sell the MAGA mini-baby boom as a meaningful shift in the broader American culture toward having bigger families. Despite all the right-wing media hype around these pregnancies, the response of the general public has cut against their hopes that this would lead to a Great Fertility Awakening among young women, who suddenly realize they need to quit their jobs to spend the next 20 years of their life staying constantly pregnant. Usha Vanceā€™s pregnancy was mostly met with jokes about how sheā€™s trying to steal her husband back from Erika Kirk. The Millers were greeted with speculation that the real father of the their child is Elon Musk. Leavittā€™s announcement inspired cracks about how pregnant women arenā€™t supposed to use fillers, along with jokes about the 32-year age gap that exists between her and her 60-year-old husband: ā€œCloser in age to the baby than her husband btw,ā€ one Instagram user noted.

Apparently the writer hasn’t heard about the real surge in pregnancies among conservative women, or, perhaps it’s simply a dearth of them among her ideological fellow travelers. With plenty of access to that internet thingy Al Gore invented, she still does not seem to have heard about it. Perhaps, just perhaps, it isn’t the “uneducated” and “ignorant” who are the conservatives, but our oh-so-haughty friends on the left.

Now even coffee is Raaaaacist!

There are times when you see something and can’t quite be certain that it is sarcasm.

Is coffee racist? How drinking coffee perpetuates white supremacy

Created by Black people for Black peopleā€”and now a pillar of white supremacist capitalism. If you consume coffee, you are helping an industry built on racism.

by AFRU Staff | Monday, January 19, 2026

If youā€™re a person of color, you know what Iā€™m talking about. You walk into a new coffee shop and your senses are overwhelmed with whiteness and you get the glare from the Karens. The white hipster barista lines herself up between you and the bathrooms, ready to tell you non-customers arenā€™t welcome.

If you have a white coffee drinking friend, he or she may have even let you in on the old coffee joke white coffee drinkers share when PoC arenā€™t around: ā€œthere are three things that are necessary in order to make a cup of coffee, and they are: first, a black man to roast the coffee; second, a yellow man to grind it; and third, a white man to drink it.ā€

Well, Iā€™m here to validate your lived experience; coffee is in fact horribly racist, and thereā€™s data to back it up.

Every facet of the coffee industry, in fact, is rooted in racism. From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from Black and Brown People to the present-day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy, whites have been able to drink the fruits of our labor and our culture with impunity.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s sarcasm, given two mentions of “Karens” in the first four paragraphs. If it weren’t for a single paragraph:

Itā€™s a well-known fact that whites would be eating bland food, like plain bread and gruel, if it werenā€™t for their theft of culinary secrets from people of color, and especially Black folks. Thatā€™s precisely why when the whites found out about coffee, it became one of the reasons they decided to victimize and appropriate Black civilization wholesale.

Will my roughly 55Ā¢ mug of coffee at home reduce my racism score by 90% since I don’t buy $5.50 cups of coffee from Starbucks?

it actually could be serious, as the rest of the article tells about how Evil White Men enslaved Noble Africans to bring coffee to our settler colonialist homes.

Sadly, we are not informed how strong American coffee drinkers evolved from our effete tea-swilling ancestors across the pond. How different would Our history have been had we not has the Boston Tea Party, and instead just told King George and his Parliament, “No thanks, we’ll just drink coffee instead”? Heaven forfend! we might just be singing God Save the King right now, and feting Prince Harry and Princess Meghan as Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of California.

The problem is that the satire is too good: our good-hearted and oh-so-nobly-intended friends on the left might just take this seriously.

But, in the end, if you simply must buy your cup of white supremacy on your way to the slave-wage job your capitalist oppressor lets you have, remember that the baristas at Starbucks are still on strike, and get your coffee from Wawa instead.
