From this lying asshole:
“I don’t know what the gunman’s problem was, but it wasn’t mental health that killed these people. It was an automatic rifle with bullets.”
Errrr no. Absent the goblin’s finger on the trigger, there would have been no deaths. Had he pulled a machete, started hacking away at everyone at random and killed the same number of people by decapitating them, we wouldn’t now be blaming the fucking machete, would we?
Of course, it had to happen. Upon seeing this lovely picture:
…some professional racist said:
‘We have gone from the rich diversity of the Abbey to a terribly white balcony.’
What would have satisfied her? A couple of token POCs drafted in off the street for the occasion? Next thing, she’ll be suggesting that Buckingham Palace (motto: “Even our house niggers are White”) didn’t invite Meghan Markle because of her semi-race (rather than the fact that she’s an insufferable cunt).
Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, a tree is just a tree, and a picture of a White family will not contain non-Whites.
Because not everything is about race. You fucking assholes.
It’s not often that I comment on celebrity stuff, but this takes the cake:
The American people still hold a grudge against the Royal Family for how Princess Diana was treated, claims a senior journalist at ABC News.
The late Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997, captivated the hearts of people worldwide with her charm, grace, and unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes.
And she had a particularly strong impact in America – with rumours she even planned to give up her life in the UK and move Stateside.
What a load of bullshit. I dunno where this “senior journalist at ABC News” conducted his poll — no doubt among his “senior” journo buddies, over several cocktails at some foul Manhattan bar.
I doubt whether the average American under age… I dunno, maybe 60 — even knows who the Virgin Princess was. And among the over 60s (like me), the reaction is most likely in the “who gives a rat’s ass?” class.
Indeed, the whole Royal Family concept is treated with barely-concealed contempt Over Here, with only a few royalty groupies even aware of the dramatis personae in Britishland’s little social soap opera. (I know who most of these parasites are, but that’s only because my university degree is in Modern Western Civilization — such as it was — and it’s necessary to know these goofs only because of the part they played in European history prior to WWI.)
And as it turns out, Prince Charles only married this upper-class twit because he couldn’t marry Camilla — yeah, that worked out well — and even better, she wasn’t the saintly Lady/Princess Di, but a shallow little Sloane Ranger (Britain’s Valley Girl equivalent, named for their fondness for the shops and clubs of Chelsea) who won the ultimate Sloan Prize: to marry royalty. And that worked out well, too. Not.
Anyway, there is no “grudge” Over Here towards the Royals. I bet this “senior journalist at ABC News” only made that statement to create some controversy prior to Charles’s coronation next week.
Sic semper iournalisti (or however they would have put it in 100 AD).
…it appears that even a raven can do what Jackson Pollock did:
It’s Jackdaw Pollock! Odin the raven paints just like the American artist whose work is worth millions
A creative raven has the art world in a flap after producing a stunning range of experimental paintings – with her beak.
Eleven-year-old Odin uses an array of vivid animal-safe paints and food colourings to make her amazing abstract works, which are flying off the shelves…
My favorite part:
…for up to £15.
…which is about what people should be paying for Pollock’s stupid splashes and daubings, instead of millions.
One of Jeff Goldstein’s fine statements in Maybe I’ll be there to shake your hand (as discussed in the above post) is this one:
The Global Elites behind BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, the WEF, the WHO, the UN, et al., have never liked that presumptuous, barely-credentialed nobodies, can get on planes and travel the globe, just as they do. They never accepted that the filthies can eat a fine rib eye, or drive a nice car, or own a comfortable home — and not have to rely on their largess, or answer to their diktats.
For those who missed the allusion to “filthies”, here’s its foundation: another Jeff (Tucker) wrote a brilliant piece called Clean vs. Dirty: A Way to Understand Everything, and here’s its basic premise:
It is possible to understand nearly everything going on today – the Covid response, the political tribalism, the censorship, the failure of the major media to talk about anything that matters, the cultural and class divides, even migration trends – as a grand effort by those people who perceive themselves to be clean to stay away from people they regard as dirty.
…
They don’t want pet waste on their carpet, thus comparing ideas with which they disagree with a nasty pathogen. They are seeking to stay clean.
In this case and in every case, they are glad for the government to operate as the clean-up crew. It’s dirty ideas and people who hold them they oppose. They don’t want to have friends who articulate them or live in communities where such people live.
And the reason they don’t want to deal with people like Tucker Carlson, Ann Coulter, Elon Musk or, for that matter, any unwashed scum with uncomfortable ideas supported by incontrovertible evidence and/or historical precedent — the reason is that their own worldview is based upon theory and (they think) altruism. The thing about both theory and altruism is that these are clean philosophies — their motives are pure, you see — and they hate to see those cherished ideals get messed upon when some Unwashed (like, for example, me) points out that their climate “science” is based upon shaky data and wishful thinking, while their predictive models are hopelessly in accurate and cannot form the basis of social or political policy.
The Cleanies likewise hate it when someone lowers income tax rates, because revenues will be “lost” — except, of course, that anyone with the slightest knowledge of history (never mind economics) can point out that when tax rates are cut, tax revenues increase, in some cases massively.
But those messy, messy realities sully the purity of their philosophy, so best to ignore — or better yet, suppress — those dirty realists.
Of course, the reality I’d like to impose on them is fairly simple:
…but no doubt, someone’s going to have a problem with this Occamic proposition.
It might, however, be the only solution — messy though it is.
I see that the Dirty Digger has fired Tucker Carlson because reasons (you pick ’em; they’re probably all correct).
Best comment so far:
No real reason to watch Fox News anymore, even though I only ever watched Tucker and Gutfeld — and Gutfeld’s not enough to hold me.
At the beginning, Roger Ailes was asked by Murdoch what he was going to bring to Fox News, to which Ailes is reputed to have answered, “Half the market” — and then he did just that.
Now, of course, it’s Fox’s turn to wave good-bye to that half of the market as Fox News turns into CNN Lite.
So long, Murdochspawn.
