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.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

We have previously stated that when the credentialed media tell us about child pornography and/or child sexual abuse crimes being discovered, that if the story is written to conceal the sex of the victims, we automatically assume that the crime was homosexual in nature. Thus, it was somewhat surprising when The Philadelphia Inquirer told us the truth:

A former Chester County student teacher filmed male students undressing and showering, police say

Samuel Fischer filmed male students while they showered at Owen J. Roberts High School, police said. He’s also accused of filming male students at another school district in western Pennsylvania.

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!

Big Brother is watching you! Do you want Elon Musk looking over your shoulder?

All of those electronic ‘convenience’ things in our lives, such as debit cards, just mean that businesses and the government have more ways to keep you under surveillance. From USA Today:

Authorities use Tesla data to track Cybertruck before bombing, raising privacy concerns

by Kathleen Wong | Thursday, January 2, 2024 | 8:58 PM EST | Updated: Friday, January 3, 2025 | 12:08 AM EST

Tesla vehicle telematics and records from a Cybertruck are providing key insights into the New Year’s Day explosion in Las Vegas – data that may not have been available decades ago but which raise troubling questions about how governments and companies track personal travel information.

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

Giving credit where credit is due Congratulations to Brayden Fleming, for helping to squash the notion that males should be allowed to compete in women's sports!

We have reported previously on Brayden Fleming, the male volleyball player who claims to be a woman calling himself “Blaire”, who competed for San José State University in California. Now, Camden Schreiner, another male who claims to be a female calling himself “Sadie”, and who competed for a NCAA Division III school, is combitching that his desired transfer to a Division I college is being blocked by those meanie-hoonies in collegiate administration:
