Will Bunch: #TrumpDerangementSyndrome much?

Will Bunch is The Philadelphia Inquirer’s furthest left, and by that I mean far left, bat guano nuts #woke,[1]From Wikipedia: Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from … Continue reading falling for every bit of insane madness woke, #TrumpDerangementSyndrome woke, and he’s agitated again this morning.

So, what is piques his ire this fine Saturday morning? It seems that the President’s daughter, Ivanka Trump Kushner, visited the Philadelphia Eagles training center. Heaven forfend!

Woke (/ˈwoʊk/) as a political term of African-American origin refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It is derived from the African-American Vernacular English expression “stay woke“, whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes and ironic usage. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I shall confess to sometimes “ironic usage” of the term. To put it bluntly, I think that the ‘woke’ are just boneheadedly stupid.

When Will Bunch refers to a prelate as Archbishop Rush Limbaugh, you know that prelate must be a good one!

The Most Reverend Charles Chaput, OFMCap, was appointed to become the Archbishop of Philadelphia on July 19, 2011, in part due to his aggressive and responsible handing of priestly sex abuse cases. The Archdiocese had serious problems in that regard, under former Archbishops Anthony Cardinal Bevilacqua and, to a lesser extent, Justin Cardinal Rigali. One would have thought that such would have made The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far-left columnist Will Bunch happy, but no, Mr Bunch preferred to refer to him as Archbishop Rush Limbaugh.

Actually, being Archbishop Rush Limbaugh, someone dedicated to the letter of the law, would be a good thing!

And today? The distinguished columnist decides to tout an OpEd by Alfred G. Mueller II, an assistant dean of the William T. Daly School of General Studies and Graduate Education at Stockton University, and it seems that Dr Mueller doesn’t like Archbishop Emeritus Chaput very much. Continue reading →

Will Bunch blows his top again!

I predicted, just two days ago, that the Philadelphia Inquirer’s liberal columnists would be “outraged” by Radnor High School’s decision to remove three “graphic novels” — a fancy term for comic books — dealing with homosexuality and transgenderism from the school library as “age inappropriate” for high schoolers. I have previously said:

Somehow, the hard left have persuaded themselves that they must take the furthest left position possible on anything even remotely regarding to sex, or they’d be enabling us evil reich-wing conservatives and Donald Trump supporters.

Thus far, I haven’t found any OpEd pieces of columns condemning Radnor High School’s action, but it’s no surprise to me that the furthest left columnist, Will Bunch, is absolutely apoplectic that Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is expressing a sensible position on ‘transgenderism’. Mr Bunch skeeted — a skeet is the slang word for a tweet on Bluesky — this morning:

I always thought Newsom would be a terrible 2028 candidate for the Dems but this clinches it — he is utterly dead to me.

I’m hardly the first person to point this out, but my entire adult life (I was a college senior when Reagan was elected in ’80, now I get senior discounts) the Dems have cowered in fear and tried to be what they think the public wants, instead of offering moral leadership. GN is just the worst case

Will Bunch equates deporting illegal immigrants to their home countries with the Nazis sending Jews to the gas chamber

Monday was World Holocaust Remembrance Day, and the Turner Classic Movies Channel played the movie Exodus, the not entirely by-the-book movie inspired by Leon Uris’ historical fiction novel of the same name. I am rereading that book, which is on my Kindle stack, these evenings, and have thus far resisted the temptation to spend $66.63, plus $3.00 for shipping, to buy the International Collectors Library hardcover version. 🙁

Naturally, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s hard-left columnist tried to use it to slam President Donald Trump’s policy of enforcing our immigration laws:

In New York, the Center for Jewish History opened up a three-month special exhibit that completely recreates the cramped, secret attic annex where the Amsterdam teen Anne Frank hid with her family and other Jews for two years and wrote her famous diary, before dying of typhus in a concentration camp at age 15. It recaptures the place where, 82 years ago this month, Frank wrote: ”Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes … Families are torn apart: men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find their parents have disappeared.”

In Chicago, terrible things are happening right now, as federal agents and police roam working-class blocks to carry out the initial raids of the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants that new President Donald Trump promised his voters in the 2024 campaign. Once again, people targeted by their country as undesirables are hiding in attics or cowering in basements, hoping to avoid a knock on the door. Continue reading →

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to! Will Bunch would rather see more killing than Donald Trump win a Nobel Peace Prize

I will admit it: I have spent far too much of the past couple of days in schadenfreude over the apoplexy of the left that Donald Trump is going to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States at noon on Monday. Most of the stuff was by people as no named as me, and a lot of it was simply silly beyond belief. Mr Trump moved the inauguration indoors due to the bitterly cold weather forecast for Washington DC, about 20º F, with wind chills in the single digits, so the left have been claiming that it wasn’t the weather, but that the President was afraid, afraid that the number of protesters would outnumber supporters, and that he just wasn’t tough enough, as Presidents John F Kennedy and Barack Hussein Obama had inaugurations outdoors in similarly cold weather.

We might as well face it: the very bitter left will say anything to insult Mr Trump.

More interesting to me was this skeet — a skeet is what a tweet on Bluesky is called — from Will Bunch, the far-left columnist of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr Bunch wrote that he literally felt sick to his stomach over the idea that our incoming President was “already Nobel Peace Prize shopping, peering down the aisles of conflict and crisis to gauge the easiest route to capturing the coveted award to adorn the lobby of Mar-a-Lago,” and that The Washington Post’s new contributing columnist, Rahm Emanuel, argued that “even Trump’s fiercest opponents ought to encourage this yen — and even root him on.” Continue reading →

Will Bunch tells us he supports Freedom of Speech when he actually supports censorship.

That Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Will Bunch is seriously infected with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome is of no surprise to anyone who reads his columns, at least anyone who isn’t already infected with #TDS himself. We have previously noted how the credentialed media were complicit in the coverup of outgoing President Biden’s significantly declining mental status, something about which Mr Bunch has not complained, yet the columnist on Sunday afternoon complained that former and future President Donald Trump and Twitter owner Elon Musk are waging “an all out war on the truth.” Continue reading →

I’ll bet that Will Bunch and Taylor Lorenz are glad now that Joe Biden’s attempt to create a Ministry of Truth failed

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far left columnist Will Bunch skeeted an editorial by the UK’s left-wing The Guardian about protecting journolists, oops, sorry, journalists.

The Guardian view on Trump’s threat to the media: time to pass the Press Act

Bipartisan legislation offers historic protections for journalists, banning secret surveillance and ensuring source confidentiality

Tuesday, December 10, 2024 | 1:40 OM EST

Fears of a press crackdown under Donald Trump’s second term deepened with his nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director – given his calls for retribution against journalists. Yet a rare chance to protect press freedom has emerged. The bipartisan Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying (Press) Act, the strongest press freedom legislation in US history, is on the brink of a vote. While President-elect Trump has urged Republicans to block it, the Senate could still deliver it to Joe Biden before the lame-duck session ends in January. Continue reading →

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to On that nice, polite, all-sweetness-and-light social media service, the Usual Suspects are cheering the murder of a health insurance CEO

A thus-far unidentified gunman waited for 50-year-old Brian Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare, and shot him to death, in what the New York Police Department labelled a “brazen targeted attack.” Naturally, some of the [insert plural slang term for the anus here] are celebrating the murder of this innocent man, as can be seen in the tweet screen captured at the right. The waste of water and air in the video called the murderer a hero.

In a land of fruits and nuts, in which anyone has the right to say stupid stuff and then put it on TikTok, it’s unsurprising that some deranged guy would celebrate a targeted murder like that. But, what would you say if a well-paid columnist for The Philadelphia Inquirer, our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, and the winner of over twenty Pulitzer Prizes, celebrated the same attack?

Well, of course he doesn’t! Will Bunch doesn't like people in authority being held accountable for what they said

I will admit it: despite paying too much for my subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer, I only infrequently read hard-left columnist Will Bunch’s stuff, but Christine Flowers pointed it out to me this morning. The distinguished Mr Bunch, whose Inky bio states that he “the national columnist — with some strong opinions about what’s happening in America around social injustice, income inequality and the government,” waxed wroth that University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill will shortly be Penn’s former President:

Liz Magill’s ouster at Penn will help the worst people take down free speech, higher ed

Critics celebrating the scalping of Penn’s president won’t stop there. Free speech, and college itself, are in grave danger.

by Will Bunch | Sunday, December 10, 2023 | 11:44 AM EST

A band of raiders never stops at just one scalp. Just minutes after the University of Pennsylvania’s president Liz Magill pulled the plug on her stormy 17-month tenure, under intense pressure for her handling of antisemitism questions on Capitol Hill, her chief inquisitor — GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York — was back on the battlefield calling for more.

“One down. Two to go,” a clearly ebullient Stefanik posted on X/Twitter, urging on her dream of an academic Saturday Night Massacre that would also take down the two college leaders who testified last week along with Magill — MIT’s Sally Kornbluth and Claudine Gay of Harvard, which, in a controversy with more ironies than a Jane Austen novel, happens to be Stefanik’s alma mater.

I’m old enough to remember, back in the days of quill pens and parchment print-on-paper only newspapers how columnists were limited to roughly 750 words, but Mr Bunch’s rant was 1,663 words long, so prepare for it if you click on the embedded link!

But what Stefanik promised on Saturday night, and what her allies are cheering on, goes well beyond a few high-profile resignations. She promised the current crisis — over what constitutes antisemitism on college campuses, and how administrators like Magill have been handling it — will lead to more congressional hearings on “all facets of their institutions’ negligent perpetration of antisemitism including administrative, faculty, and overall leadership and governance.”

This one’s pretty long, so I’ve moved the bulk of the article below the fold. Continue reading →
