Gotta Be A Good Thing, Then

Whenever the Left goes all Hair On Fire, that generally means good things are happening.  Take this little bit of news, for example:

After it was announced Monday that local businessman and Sinclair Broadcasting Group executive Chairman David Smith had rescued The Sun with plans to revitalize it to a robust status, the left is apoplectic.

Why? Sinclair, the local news behemoth Smith runs, has been accused for years of tilting right. Based on the hissy fits pitched by the AP, the Baltimore Banner (an online site started after the Alden purchase), CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, it seems like journalists would rather the paper die all together than be run by someone who’s not a leftist.

Well, duh;  if the Left can’t control something, they try to destroy it (see:  Donald Trump).

And if, Lenin forbid, that change may tend towards conservatism, the screaming will ratchet up exponentially.

And so it happened in this case.

CNN reacted the way you’d expect. Oliver Darcy, their deranged liberal media hall monitor, whined in his media newsletter that it’s a “deal that has set off alarm bells” since Smith’s local stations around the country “has previously inserted right-wing editorial segments into its local news broadcasts.”

Writing on Threads and X, NPR media writer and former Sun reporter David Folkenflik huffed that Smith was dismissive of the Sun’s journalism and “deflected questions about his own political activities.”

He also seethed that Smith has been a major funder of GOP candidates; more recently he has funded far-right outfits like Project Veritas and Turning Point USA & financed local ballot initiatives.

Folkenflik made sure to take a swipe at Sinclair stations: “Sinclair…has pulled the news coverage and commentaries on those stations markedly to the right, ultimately becoming quite supportive of Trump.”

Oh noes… I see the End Of Democracy all over this one.  That, or the End Of Civilization As We Know It.

Who knows?  The Sun  may even turn out to be a decent newspaper.

Proper Tactics

So the West gets more and more pissed off with the ragheads fucking with merchant ships off the coast of Arabland, and (amazingly) does something about it, i.e. bombing the rocket-launch sites:

Of course, the Muzzies are responding in typical fashion:

HARROWING images show gun-toting young children in the crowd as thousands took to the streets in Yemen to protest the joint UK and US airstrikes.

Supporters of the Iran-backed rebel group flocked to the streets of Sanaa chanting “America is the Devil” after the overnight blitzes.

And the predictable rent-a-crowd pics follow:

…which gives me an idea.

I like the idea of targeting the launch sites, of course, but it strikes me that it’s only a partial response to this nonsense.

What we ought to do is wait till the satellite pics show the crowds have gathered and are doing the shouty-burny thing, and then launch a couple of follow-up cruise missiles loaded with, I dunno, a daisy-cutter or two and drop them onto the crowd of smellies:

…and really give them  — or the survivors anyway — something to complain about.

Maybe that will shut these motherfuckers up, and make them think twice before playing their little reindeer-rocket games on the trade routes.  It’s worth a try, anyway.  They could hardly hate us more, n’est ce pas?

Unless, of course, we’re saving the cruise missiles and daisy-cutters for the Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

“Context”

From some Izzy pol comes this little snippet:

Well, yes.  As some smarty-pants academic said a little while ago, context is everything.

I mean, I feel the same way about Commies (apart from the “rape” thing, I’m not the man I used to be –although I might be persuaded to take at least one* such ghoul for the team).

Still, it’s not a healthy thought and the Pals should be dissuaded from acting out those impulses by, say, mass relocation to the Congo.  (For some reason, Israelis have an institutional dislike of concentration camps and Babi Yar-style killing pits, so relocation seems to be the best alternative.)

So I’m not going to condemn the Pals outright because glass houses etc.  But I am going to encourage the Izzies to do whatever they think works.  I think they can generally be trusted to do the right thing, e.g. blowing up Iran’s nuclear bomb capability, so as far as the foul and loathsome Hamas / Hezbollah assholes are concerned, it’s all systems go.

But Refugees!

Here’s something I didn’t know, but which doesn’t surprise me:

From the murder of Sébastien Sellam in 2003 to that of Mireille Knoll in 2018, all murders of Jews in France have been committed by radicalized Muslims.

Yeah well, duh.  There are more such interesting snippets at the link, including this one, also duh:

74% of Muslims between the ages of 18 and 25 in France say they place Islamic sharia law above the laws of the French Republic.

I’m thinking it’s time for the mass deportations to begin, but no doubt someone will have a problem with this.
