But I will anyway.

No order today, some of this is from yesterday, it’s just that watching our fine journalistic betters take the most stupid, utterly illogical things and act as if they’re for real got to me yesterday. If all our fine journalistic betters pretend something isn’t utterly idiotic, does that mean it’s not stupid?

Of course not. When people say, “If everybody says one thing and you say another, maybe you’re wrong!” remind them of all the things “everybody knows!” that are just not true. It won’t help, but it might piss them off enough to leave you alone in the future.

 

Let’s get some totally non-partisan CNN out of the way first. Some of you will say, “What liberal media?” but you’d be wrong to say that.

What dishonest, leftist media? is actually the question.

Helpfully illustrated

 

When I saw Trump was going to dump that global worming crap, I was going to post, “Screeeeech!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” but just couldn’t work up any desire to do so.

Luckily, or unluckily, others spent the time.

Top 10 idiocies!

6. Elon Musk, who runs three companies that all depend to some degree on the idea that carbon dioxide will destroy planet Earth, said he takes America’s removal from this largely symbolic agreement so seriously that he’s going to make up the difference and stop crisscrossing the world in a private jet. Just kidding, he said he’s resigning his symbolic post on a symbolic presidential council.

We always hear about how Exxon/Mobil’s peeps are all anti-global worming but nobody mentions how much global warmmongers make off it.

 

Let’s do a non-idiotic reaction.

The Paris climate agreement is wrong for two reasons:

1 The US Senate did not vote for this treaty, as required by the US Constitution.   In other words, President Obama did not have the authority to put the US into this agreement;

2 The agreement is not enforceable.   It does not require China, the single largest polluter in the world, to play by the rules.    How stupid is that?    Wonder how many industries will move to China after this agreement?

Get out and look out for US workers and, just as importantly, our Constitution.

I hadn’t even thought of that, and I’m a little embarrassed. It’s the Team America! gambit moved to global warmmongering. A murderous dictator, in this case commie Chinese, sucks up to idiot lefties for nefarious purposes. Which nefarious purposes lefties are okay with.

 

Speaking of idiocies involving Trump, Tsar Putin I apparently thought minitrue needed some help and the NY Times is grateful!

Shifting from his previous blanket denials, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia suggested on Thursday that “patriotically minded” private Russian hackers could have been involved in cyberattacks last year that meddled in the United States presidential election.

They need all the help they can get to damage America enough to bring down a POTUS they don’t like. Getting help from Russians against POTUSes they don’t like is a long and storied tradition amongst our fine, leftist, anti-American citizens!

Let’s give the NY Times a hint about reality and how it’s not gonna change until at least 2021.

 

The Times has a new way to fact-check their own asses. They’ll let social media do it! That way, they’ll get reaction from both sides! That’s gonna be awesome and usher in a new era in awesome journalism!

C’mon, you didn’t believe that “new era” shit, did you?

 

In, Didn’t Charlemagne, Napoleon and Hitler already try that? news,

the European Commission, the EU’s political arm, lays out the roadmap for “completing a genuine financial union” by 2025. The 40-page policy paper calls for “further political integration” as well as a banking union,” and a “more integrated Economic and Fiscal Union”. Furthermore, the document calls for a unified “Euro Area Treasury” to be headed by a powerful “EU Finance Minister,” “who would also be Chair of the Eurogroup.”

The EU policy paper does not see the need for any national ratification or referenda over this irreversible political-economic union paraded as “reform” — making it perhaps the biggest ever power garb by an unelected bureaucracy.

They’re trying to use whine to achieve what force of arms couldn’t.

 

In previous episodes, we watched the French dismantle the Calais land-piracy center

In today’s exciting episode, the totally peaceful immigrants apparently found a new base to pirate from. (In reverse cut n’ pasting style!)

Although the Jungle camp was torn down six months ago, and its 8,000 inhabitants dispersed, immigrants have returned to the port town of Calais again in a bid to hide on a truck and make it to Britain undetected. (The main image shows immigrants attempting to do this in 2015).

British truckers are facing new physical threats from immigrants and asylum seekers gathering at the French port of Calais, site of the notorious ‘Jungle’ refugee camp.

Long distance drivers have asked police for extra protection after being targeted by in a series of “extremely violent” incidents, according to the Daily Mail.

A police source told the newspaper: “They set up roadblocks using dustbins, and then tried to stop lorries heading for England so they could get aboard. Two windscreens were smashed, while another lorry had its tyres punctured. One driver was taken to hospital with face injuries.”

What happens next? Depends on who’s in charge of it. The French aren’t really all that tolerant of different points of view and they really don’t like non-French.

 

Clinton’s lie, it’s what they do.

Although Hillary Clinton boasts a robust 3.6 million Twitter followers, not even a vast right-wing conspiracy would be able to interact with 2 million of them.

According to two popular online measuring tools, no more than 44 per cent of her Twitter fan base consists of real people who are active in using the social media platform.

And at least 15 per cent – more than 544,000 – are completely fake.

 

What I can’t get is why people who aren’t hopeless partisans don’t see that. Or don’t care if they do.

Part of the reason for that has to be the fact that we have to read about this in Brit papers while each while each and every one of our domestic minitrue outlets would be screeeeeeeeeeeeching for days if they found even one fake Trump follower.

 

Related, The Scandal (Our Media) Is Hiding In Plain Sight!

On the other hand, we now know for certain that the Obama administration weaponized the intelligence agencies in order to use them against political opponents, in a manner that is unprecedented, highly dangerous to our democracy, and criminal.

This scandal, which dwarfs anything of which the Trump team is even suspected, has been exposed and lies largely in plain sight for all to see. Yet it has generally been greeted with yawns, if acknowledged at all, by politicians and commentators.

They’re still calling that “unsubstantiated claims by Trump!” for jeepers sake!

 

More news none of our journalists care about!

City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito ducked questions Wednesday about whether she plans to house convicted terrorist Oscar López Rivera at her East Harlem home for the Puerto Rican Day Parade.

That’s a good terrorist, I wonder if we’ll find out next week. Probably not, just because some journalists tried to find out, they won’t push it. It might lead to bad questions asked about re-electing a Democrat.

 

72 different types of terrorists our gov’t is warning us against!

Here is the list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be ‘potential terrorists’ in official U.S. government documents as of August, 2015. Hopefully this will become a thing of the past as our new President “Drains The Swamp.”

Each listing below is an active link to the original source documentation indicating when and where the listed ‘subversives’ were originally considered a threat:

1. Those that talk about “individual liberties”

2. Those that advocate for states’ rights

3. Those that want “to make the world a better place”

4. “The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule”

5. Those that are interested in “defeating the Communists”

 

I’m included in that list  43 times. I guess I need more ammo!

62. Anyone that is engaged in “ammunition stockpiling”

Catch .22!

Catch some .45acp, .500 S&W mag and 12 gauge too. You might need it (oops, make that 44 times!)

Via Uncle. 

 

I’m gonna disagree.

WHAT A HARVARD REPORT ON MILLENNIALS AND RELATIONSHIPS FINDS, AFTER 50 YEARS OF FEMINISM: “One is, we are failing … miserably to prepare young people for romantic love, probably the most important thing they will do in life. . . . The second is that there are very high rates of misogyny and sexual harassment.”

ESPN and much of the rest of the Dem media/entertainment political complex pushed endless adolescence on young ‘men’, our schools have spent the last decades wiping out American history, importing too many people from countries where women are property and mainstreaming Bill Clinton’s many sexual predations have been the drivers of the high rates of misogyny.

All of western civ was based on trying to get laid, now men don’t have to work for it.

Why invent the wheel if you can catch a clinton (blow job in feminist terms)  more easily than previous generations held hands?

 

Who didn’t see this coming?

Doughnuts were delivered Wednesday by drone to Denver’s mayor and the city’s police and fire departments in an event that provided a glimpse into what companies hope will be a quick, inexpensive way to get merchandise to customers.

Legalized weed leads to munchies.

 

Not sure if they can blame weed for this, but it’s surely tempting.

Bill C-16, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code (gender identity or expression), has cleared the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee and will shortly come to a vote. Along the way, opponents have argued that including pronoun protections is a threat to “free speech.”

What the fuck is “pronoun protection?” you ask? You really shouldn’t have.

Learning to say “they” for one person undeniably takes some extra effort. But it’s rather like learning to pronounce and use someone else’s culturally unfamiliar (to you) name in everyday speech. This takes repetition, trial and error. A note to self, a bit of practice, a few gentle reminders, and, voila: You’re on your way. Saying “they” is no big deal, really, but it feels like being compelled because you have to try.

Now, if someone wants me to call them “they”, so long as they ask politely I’ll do it. When I’m talking to them. I probably won’t call them “they” when I’m not talking to them. Except to say, “That idiot wants me to call it ‘they’, do you believe that?”

I stopped using the newest edition of the Newspeak dictionary back when “black” changed to “African-American”.

It’s not a lefty-approved article pushing a point of view without some strawmen. Let’s look at one!

C-16’s opponents object to the extra effort that gender-neutral pronouns entail. Crucially, this means they also object to any extra effort to use any pronoun, even she or he.

Yeah, no. The opponents are against some assholes controlling their speech. It’s not all that hard to figure out, it’s almost as easy as winning an argument where you control both sides!

It’s sorta funny, as they’re worrying about people having uncontrolled speech, they’re paying $200,000 for a rubber ducky.

A giant rubber duck coming to Brockville this summer as part of the Ontario government’s celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary has taxpayers taking a bath, says a provincial politician.

What is the obsession with rubber duckies? Are they just trying to recreate their childhood?

At least one Ontario parliamentarian has a good observation.

Ontario PC MPP Vic Fedeli said the $200,000 duck tour – more than half of it covered by Ontario – is a sure sign of a government with “messed up” priorities.

As they’re trying to stop free speech they’re paying $200k for a duck. Although, that might be in Canadian ‘dollars’, so not real money.

 

Okay, I see people freaking out over this.

Some online retailers have been selling oak galls, which are nests that house wasp eggs before they hatch, and touting them as a natural way of cleaning female genitals.

Deservedly so. I mean, what other sort of idiocies do you have to believe if you’re willing to stick a wasp’s nest up your hoo-ha?

A voice of sanity

“Here’s a pro-tip, if something burns when you apply it to the vagina it is generally bad for the vagina.”

Alas, the voices of sanity are called crazy in our enlightened age.

 

News from each and every time a T-Mobile worker worked on someone’s phone that had a sex video!

A T-Mobile employee from Florida landed in jail Friday after he allegedly emailed himself a sexually explicit video he found on a female customer’s phone, news station WFTS reported.

And Sprint and AT&T and Verizon and Geek Squad and…. c’mon people. Of course they’re going to root around to see your porn.

I will say that T-Mobile must be hopelessly backward if he had to email it cuz he didn’t have a memory stick or whatever they’re calling them these days.

As for the point, there’s a reason 93% of the intertubes is porn and the other 7% links to it and it rhymes with luman lature.

 

People just don’t seem to realize that actions have consequences.

Around 10:00 AM, Mr. Smith moved a few hundred meters away from his friends in order to put on a fake shark fin and pull a prank on them.

He started swimming towards the beach with only the fin emerging from the water, provoking an instant reaction from the local fishermen.

Dude thought it would be hilarious to scare everyone. He’s used to being surrounded by snowflakes I’d guess, people who would run away.

Alas, and even alack!, he wasn’t on a NY Times approved beach.

More than a dozen fishing boats filled with men armed with harpoons encircled the young man only 20 meters away from his friends.

It was all fun and games until the harpoons came out! I’m gonna guess this is a little white lie.

They fired dozens of projectiles in his direction and speared him a total of nine times before they realized their mistake.

Yeah, I’d bet at least one kept firing even after he saw it was an idiot. An American idiot. You know, like Greenday.

 

Paco had a Sunday Funny post with a link that had this.

About 2,500 years ago, Hanno the Navigator became one of the first Europeans to see a band of gorillas…

So when he found an island full of gorillas, he figured that they were just the funniest-looking group of people yet. Hanno wrote that he’d found “savage people, the greater part of whom were women…(emphasis me V)

He and his men tried to introduce themselves to the gorillas, but the gorillas weren’t too communicative.

Since they specifically mentioned women, and since they were sailors who hadn’t seen a woman for a long time, I found it hilarious thinking about Hanno and his buds trying to sweet talk one of the gorilla honeys into bed.

I shouldn’t have laughed.
