My posting today is a little later than usual because I’ve made the trek back up to Tennessee to spend a week with my mom, while my sister and her hubby take a vacation. I was unable to bring my better half along, but Cassie the Wonder Dog is with me, and we’re going to savor the extra time with mom before she turns 86 next month.
She’s still hanging in there, and though the Alzheimers continues to take its slow toll, she’s still the world-class mom who raised my sister and I, and I’m going to make some more good memories with her this week, even if only one of us remembers them!
Speaking of slow erosion, how about the state of our nation, five months before the election?
Everywhere I look there is more evidence that we don’t hate the media enough.
Exhibit A is Hunter’s conviction, which answered an intriguing rhetorical question: If you’re a Biden, exactly how guilty do you have to be in order for a Delaware jury to find you guilty? The answer is breathtakingly, obviously guilty.
But you may have noticed that the MSM were immediately ready with a take on Hunter’s verdict that was so wrong that if the Olympics introduced a new triathlon combining point missing, false equivalence and mendacity, it would have easily won gold.
They painted Hunter as a victim, trivialized his gun charges while ignoring the even more serious, daddy-implicating crimes for which he wasn’t charged, and claimed that his conviction somehow proved that Trump is wrong to say that his own conviction was illegitimate.
Taking the last point first, the gulf between the two cases isn’t just apples and oranges, it’s artificial apples and real felonies.
If Trump’s disputed bookkeeping entries had been crimes (which they weren’t) they would have been misdemeanors, and the statute of limitations would have run out on them years ago. But a corrupt DA and a corrupt judge used a tainted jury pool and even more tainted witnesses to magically create a raft of felonies out of air even thinner than Obama’s skin.
Conversely, Hunter flagrantly broke several gun laws. And oddly enough, the same Dems who for 50 years have been screaming for tougher gun laws and enforcement now think we should let drug abusing gun nuts off with a slap on the wrist. If they happen to be Bidens.
Even more oddly, the same establishment media who helped rig the last election by insisting that Hunter’s laptop was a Russian fake managed to ignore the biggest bombshell of the short trial: the FBI’s admission that it was Hunter’s all along.
Exhibit B: Ode to Joy
Last week the racist and antisemitic “journalist” Brihana Joy Gray finally got fired by leftist outfit The Hill, and like a thousand flowers in spring, the schadenfreude bloomed. You probably don’t know who she is, because why would you?
She’s the kind of charmer who spouts Hamas talking points and anti-American and anti-Semitic tropes (America is irredeemably racist, 9/11 happened partly because the US is too close to Israel, etc.). So if you did know her, you’d think that since she’s an obnoxious, black female leftist, she must be un-fireable, right?
So did she. In November of 2020 she tweeted, “Some people are so obviously mad that I can’t be fired.”
Then on 6/6/24… wait for it… she tweeted, “It finally happened. @thehill fired me.”
Immediately, the countdown to her trashing her ex-employer and playing the brave martyr card began. 3… 2… 1… “There should be no doubt that The Hill, like every other corporate news media in America, suppresses speech.”
THERE it is! Some meme-ster immediately dropped the hammer on her, posting a screen shot from a local news report. At the top of the screen the words, “Quote From Man Stabbed.” Below that, in quotation marks, “What are you gonna do, stab me?”
The straw that broke the Jew-hater’s back came last week, when she was interviewing the sister of a young woman kidnapped and still being held by Hamas. Gray kept trying to turn the interview toward criticizing the IDF and Netanyahu and Israel, while the woman kept turning the focus back to her poor sister.
As she made an impassioned plea for Gray to believe the Jewish women who have been abused by Hamas, Gray rolled her eyes and sighed with disgust, then cut her off abruptly. “All right, thanks for joining.”
Stay classy, BJG!
By the way, what is it with women named “Joy” being the most joyless humans on earth? From Joy Behar to Joy Reid to Brihana Joy Gray, there is no joy amongst the Joys.
Speaking of antisemitic freaks, did you see the pro-Hamas bigots launching an insurrection at the White House? I remember when coup attempts like that would send hundreds of peaceful grandparents to jail pending trial for years at a time. But apparently wearing a terrorist tablecloth on your head – you say Yasser, I say No Sir! – grants you immunity from treason charges.
The latest outrage took place on June 8th, when mobs of pro-terror loons surrounded the White House, threw smoke bombs and chanted hateful, non-rhyming chants. Julio Rosas also reported from the scene that the protesters “formed a mob and chased U.S. Park Police and Secret Service out of Lafayette Square after officers apparently tried to arrest someone.” He noted that law enforcement was forced out of the park and retreated to “the boundaries of the protest.”
Which begs an obvious question: Are we all out of rubber bullets, belt-fed weapons and robot flamethrower dogs?
Because I’ll bet those would work in this case, and I for one would pay handsomely to watch the Pay-Per-View of lightly toasted anti-semites fleeing for their lives, before being knocked to the ground, hit with fire extinguishers, and then cuffed and stuffed into windowless vans to take them to prison.
Also, one of the most prominent banners carried by the cowardly, masked Nazi-emulators featured a quote from “Al Qassam” (which means “Hamas” in terrorist),” Jihad of Victory or Martyrdom.”
If that’s our choice, let’s go with Door #2.
Hamas delenda est!
