How the severity of the California wildfires is Donald Trump’s fault!

I might be stealing William Teach’s schtick with this one, but it’s too good to pass up.

Burning Teslas in LA Add to Toxic Mix Hindering Wildfire Cleanup

  • Electric cars add a new dimension to the mess left by fires

  • Specialized removal means longer delays for victims

As the smoke clears from devastating Los Angeles wildfires, efforts to clean up the affected areas are being complicated by burnt-out electric and hybrid vehicles and home-battery storage systems. Continue reading →

It was never about “protecting democracy”.

The left have complained loudly that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and his support of that wholly radical concept of Freedom of Speech was a horrible, horrible thing, but while conservatives are no longer censored on that social media site, Mr Musk has allowed those on the left the same access they always had.

And thus we have Tristan Snell being able to vent his frustration that former President Donald Trump will become President again at noon on January 20th.

Who is Mr Snell? His self-written Twitter biography states that he is a “Lawyer, commentator, fighter for democracy. Prosecuted Trump University @ NY AG. Author of TAKING DOWN TRUMP. Host of the Tristan Snell Show on Apple + Spotify.” Continue reading →

World War III Watch: Joe Biden sends more aid, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants us to send ground troops

We have said it before: it doesn’t matter how much money and military aid we send to Ukraine, they cannot defeat Russia absent the US and NATO sending actual ground troops to fight Russia, and fighter aircraft and pilots to gain air superiority. Now Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants just that:

U.S. announces more Ukraine aid as Zelenskyy calls for NATO to deploy troops to “force Russia into peace”

CBS News | Thursday, January 9, 2024 | 10:00 AM EST

Ramstein Air Base, Germany — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday said Donald Trump’s return to the White House would open “a new chapter” and reiterated a call for Western allies to send troops to help “force Russia to peace.” He made the plea as the Biden administration announced what will likely be its last major military aid package for Ukraine — a promise of weapons and other support worth $500 million.

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to Amanda Marcotte loves her some censorship and ordering of society . . . when it comes from the left

My good friend Robert Stacy McCain has frequently written, “I watch CNN” or sometimes MSNBC, “so you don’t have to.” Well, I created an account and check Bluesky, the liberal version of Twitter, so that you don’t have to. And checking this morning I found the very lovely Amanda Marcotte complaining that Mark Zuckerberg, the creator and owner of Facebook, is no longer going to apply liberally-oriented ‘fact checkers’ to posts on Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta makeover: MAGA grandpa is about to get much worse

Facebook ditches its fact-checking program in favor of Elon Musk’s army of disinformation zombies

by Amanda Marcotte | Wednesday, January 8, 2025 | 8:00 AM EST

In part because of his goofy appearance and in part because he doesn’t engage in fascist trolling like fellow billionaire Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg is rarely seen as a sinister character in modern American life. But Zuckerberg’s announcement that Facebook and Instagram will soon cease fact-checking is such a stellar model of villainous doublespeak that George Orwell would have thought it was a bit much. Zuckerberg insisted it’s in the name of “free speech” that he must unleash uncontrolled disinformation on his platform, adding, “The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards, once again, prioritizing speech.” Continue reading →

The left can’t see an obvious fact right in front of their faces.

My far too expensive Philadelphia Inquirer subscription. I could use a senior citizen’s discount right about now.

You know, I get it: Will Bunch, the far-left opinion columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, is thoroughly eaten up with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome, far too eaten up to see some basic facts. Mr Bunch fairly heavily documents his work with hyperlinks, so it’s not as though he doesn’t know how. But, in his Tuesday morning newsletter, “Revealed: The real reason that Trump won,” he managed to completely miss the most obvious thing: Continue reading →

Paranoid much?

While perusing my images files to find an illustration for this article — I was actually looking for my Philadelphia Inquirer subscription notification image — I found this old ad for subscriptions to the newspaper. I guess this is what qualifies as “Philly Love”:

The queer people who are buying guns to prepare for Trump’s America

“We’re not looking to arm up and storm the capital,” one gun owner said. “We just don’t want to be put in concentration camps.”

The Democrats new ‘It Girl’ is actually a guy

We were greatly amused when the media began touting then Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane as “the Democrats’ New ‘It Girl’.” Salena Zito wrote, in 2013:

A former midlevel prosecutor’s ambition and rise in Pennsylvania politics is a sign of the times in American politics.

In under a year, Kathleen Kane has gone from an unknown Lackawanna County assistant district attorney to the powerful position of the state’s attorney general. If you believe the gossip surrounding her, she is a prospective candidate for every elected office imaginable, including governor, U.S. senator and president.

Fortunately for the Keystone State, Mrs Kane crashed and burned spectacularly, charged, tried, and convicted for perjury, and sentenced for 10 to 23 months in jail. After her release — she actually served only eight months — she wound up with a driving under the influence of alcohol arrest and parole violation as well, because the Democrats’ new ‘It Girl’ just wasn’t very smart. But at least she actually is a girl!

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here] to do things right Look what 'nice guy' Joe Biden's policies have done to us

The Democrats’ and “progressives” — William Teach defines ‘progressives’ as “Nice Fascists” — current cause du jour is housing and the shortage of ‘affordable’ housing. Senator Bernie Sanders, the socialist independent who caucuses with the Democrats, railed that “Almost 600,000 Americans are sleeping out on our streets.” So, I have to ask the Distinguished Gentleman from Vermont, just who caused that problem?

Trump vs. Biden on immigration: 12 charts comparing U.S. border security

By Nick Miroff, Maria Sacchetti and Sarah Frostenson | Sunday, February 11, 2024 | Updated: Sunday, July 28, 2024

Immigration is a key issue in the 2024 presidential race.

Illegal border crossings soared to record levels under President Biden, averaging 2 million per year from 2021 to 2023. The migrants have arrived in every state in the country, overwhelming cities such as New York, Chicago and Denver as newcomers seek shelter and aid. Continue reading →

I subscribe to The Philadelphia Inquirer so that you don’t have to The newspaper wants to protect democracy, but was so very upset when people had a democratic choice

My most frequently read newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, published another of the typical end-of-the-year articles, this headlined “16 opinions that caught your attention in 2024: Looking back on our most-read opinions of the year” I loved this one in particular:

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial

Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

by The Editorial Board | Saturday, June 29, 2024 | 4:30 PM EDT

President Joe Biden’s debate performance was a disaster. His disjointed responses and dazed look sparked calls for him to drop out of the presidential race.

But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.

In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

The Editorial Board not only did not get their wish that Mr Trump withdraw from the race, but they really didn’t get their wish when he won.

Their headline was a riff from the one The New York Times used the previous day, “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race, which had said:

President Biden has repeatedly and rightfully described the stakes in this November’s presidential election as nothing less than the future of American democracy,

hoping the Democrats would nominate another candidate.

The Washington Post editorialized similarly.

But for all of the angst of the editorialists, former President Trump is now future President Trump as well, scheduled to be inaugurated 23 days from now, because the country was given a democratic choice two months ago. Too bad for the various editorial boards that the voters chose differently from what the pundits and columnists and editorialists told them they should.

On Tuesday, November 7, 2028, the American people will be voting for President again, and President Trump will not be on the ballot; His constitutional limit of two terms will have been reached. The editorial boards will be able to fuss and fume and support the Democrats again in four years. That’s you know, democracy!
