Bite Me

Journalist Scum, Resistance

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

It seems like the PjMedia Complex — Townhall, Twitchy, and PJM itself are increasingly turning their websites into PPV.

So a link from PJM’s Godfather — Insty — on a big story such as this:

…has the embedded link:

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2025/06/17/fbi-hands-congress-documents-with-alarming-allegations-about-the-2020-election-n2658948

When you follow the link, of course it takes you to the Townhall page.  However, if like me you hate being bombarded with fucking Facebook links masquerading as ads, or ads that lead you to click-bait sites, ads hawking the books penned by hem hem PJM writers, and (my favorite) pop-up auto-start ads or links) you will have installed an ad-blocker like Adblock or Badger.

So when you get to the Townhall site via that link from Insty, you get a grayed-out screen with this set of options:

Okay, here’s the deal.  I can’t afford to be a “VIP” subscriber because quite frankly, my subscription budget is pretty much zero.  There’s a plethora of choices for my subscription pennies (note:  pennies, not dollars — this is important, as you’ll see later), and PJM VIP is not, shall we say, a premium choice.

Fine, say I, and so I resort to using archive sites like https://archive.is/ to bypass the paywall.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

So, because I want to read all about the Kash Patel / 2020 election thing, I go to DuckDuckGo and type in “kash patel 2020 election”, and get a series of choices.  Skipping the left-wing media (NBC, Daily Beast, Newsweek etc.) I find a link to the Washington Examiner, which finally gives me free access to the story I want to read:

FBI Director Kash Patel has turned over a batch of internal documents to Congress detailing allegations that Chinese operatives sought to interfere in the 2020 election by mass-producing fake U.S. driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in voting.

The intelligence, which Patel said on Monday night he had recently declassified, has been sent to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has led oversight efforts into foreign election interference and pressed the bureau to release details surrounding the alleged scheme.

And even worse:

“These include allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots — allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public,” Patel said.

Let’s be honest, here:  this is a really big fucking deal, and if it’s proven to be true, we have two major issues:  1) China was fucking with our election in 2020 — yeah, 81 million Biden votes, kiss my ass, and 2) the FBI knew about it and did sweet fuck-all about it.  (And Just The News‘s followup article is even more damning.)

But back to my main point.

Everyone who works has to make a buck to keep the head above the water, individuals as much as organizations, and nothing comes free in this world.  I know this, because I am one such person.  So PJMedia has every right to require me to pay for their work, i.e. to read their articles.

My problem is that I can’t afford to pay their monthly sub fee because as I said, there are literally hundreds of such subs available.  And to be brutally frank, while PJM’s content is quite good, it’s not that good (Stephen Green and only a couple of other writers excepted).  Few of the conservative websites are that good, either.

Frankly, if I’m going to be brutally honest:  if I can afford only one subscription, I think I may subscribe to the above-mentioned Just The News, because their coverage and editorial stance seems to be what I’m looking for.  And the price seems to be about right, too:

  OR: 

That’s about $0.12 (twelve cents) per day — about the cost of a newspaper print subscription back in 1960, which sounds about right, for digital content.  (I recently got a small tax refund from the IRS, which funded this sub. [irony alert] )

Of course, I may be disappointed — one usually is, in matters of this nature, as I was with an earlier subscription to Epoch Times, quickly canceled — but what the hell, it’s only money and information, right?

So I’ll be linking to a lot of JTN articles in the future.  Let me know if they start playing reindeer games with their pages (like PJM outlets do) and I’ll just post longer excerpts.

TV Spectacle

Media Assholes, Men & Women

Then there’s this Brit TV show, reading about which had the instant effect of turning me into a full-scale Victorian scold:

Open House: The Great Sex Experiment premiered in 2022 and over the past three years there have been three seasons of couples exploring involving other people in their sex lives, with the third hitting screens last month.

Swingers from the Channel 4 show have revealed what it’s really like off camera and lifted the lid on three-hour orgies.

Three fucking hours? [sic]  I am so glad I’m too old for all this stuff anymore.  But it gets worse.

‘The camera focused on me with Mark, but there wasn’t one thing on the bed that wasn’t happening. There was girl-on-girl, strap-ons, all sorts. The house has a selection of sex toys too,’ she said, adding that they have no idea what will make it to air beforehand.

Off camera, during non-filming days, the saucy sessions can continue between the residents, but not involving the guest couples.

Lily also admitted she had ‘lost count’ of the amount of orgies that took place away from the cameras.

So that’s on broadcast TV.  Nothing like taking away the romance of the thing, is there?

But post something on FecesBook that calls Muslim terrorists a bunch of murderous child-molesters, and the Brit fuzz will be at your door in minutes.

Bloody hell:  I played in a rock band in the 1970s, and I can still be shocked by this kind of thing?

Totally fucked up, in every sense of the word.

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From that Muzzie asshole:

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Wednesday his country “will never surrender” as President Trump urged him to end reciprocal air strikes with Israel. 

“It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender,” Khamenei posted on X. “What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation.”

Two words (I think):  Germany 1945.

Challenge accepted.

Unwanted Interference

Morons & Idiots

Here’s a headline for you:

Egypt deports volunteers attempting to cross border

What kind of volunteers were these people, exactly?

Gaza aid activists were violently dragged and carried onto buses by balaclava-clad Egyptian authorities.

Shocking footage shows authorities forcibly removing pro-Palestine protesters who have traveled to the region in a bid to cross the Egyptian border to Gaza and deliver aid.

Large numbers of protesters have been rounded-up onto buses and deported from Egypy, with activists claiming they have been ‘violently dragged’ and ‘beaten’.

Now video has emerged showing the aid workers being dragged by what appears to be both Egyptian authorities and civilians. 

One protester, who spoke with an American accent, exclaimed: ‘There’s people in masks dragging people out.’ Others can be heard chanting: ‘Free Palestine’.  

Thousands of people have been arriving in the Egyptian capital since Thursday, with the intention of marching to the Rafah crossing in Gaza. 

It is part of the Global March to Gaza – a protest against Israel’s aid blockade on Gaza.

So not volunteer aid workers, but a bunch of “activists”.  To quote Ace Ventura:  well alrighty, then.

Clearly, some people have not got the message that the Israelis aren’t the only ones who aren’t big fans of the Palestinians — in fact, just about every nation surrounding “Palestine” (Gaza and the West Bank) detests them, as witnessed by the fact that every time the Pals try to “flee” their benighted and self-created war-torn areas, their neighbors (e.g. in this case, Egypt) close the border and refuse them entry.

The second message that hasn’t become clear is that humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza seldom reaches its intended recipients;  the Hamas terrorists steal it for themselves and shoot any of the needy populace who attempt to get it.  And that’s only one manifestation;  here’s another:

Fears are that British foreign aid will be used to teach Gaza children to wage jihad

In the face of this reality, it’s small wonder that the Izzies are blocking aid deliveries.

But hey, as with all the “causes” espoused by mostly middle-class Western White children, let’s not let the facts spoil a good protest.

Random Totty

Gratuitous Chick Pics

Like most Brit celebrity totties, Liverpool-born totty Kym Marsh has a background as a singer and actress, and more recently as a TV presenter.  Here she is as a youngin:

However, as she approaches the half-century mark, she’s a front-runners in the GILF stakes:

Here she is with her daughter (left), who is apparently about to produce Kym’s fourth (!) grandchild:

I know what you’re thinking. Don’t go there.

Predecessor

Politics

This from Kurt Schlichter:

The problem is that he’s bad at his job. And he doesn’t even seem to like it. Whenever you see Gavin Newsom in his gov mode, you get the impression that he’d rather be anywhere else doing anything else. It’s not like he actually does anything as governor. With guys like Newsom, it’s not the doing. It’s the being. He wants to be governor; he doesn’t want to do the hard things a real governor does. And it would be the same thing if he were to become president. He wants to be the president; the doing stuff part is a huge hassle that gets in the way of him being the center of attention.

Here’s what resonates with me about this.  Note the changes I’ve made:

With guys like Obama, it’s not the doing. It’s the being. He wanted to be a Senator; he didn’t want to do the hard things a real Senator does. And it was the same thing when he was the president. He wanted to be the president; the doing stuff part was a huge hassle that got in the way of him being the center of attention.

Same shit, different Democrat asshole.
