A slight discrepancy

Posted on October 9, 2026October 9, 2026 by Mike 3 Comments

By now, you’ve all heard so much about the Cornell 7 “rape” incident you’re about sick unto death of it, same as me. That being so, I am not gonna belabor the thing further here, just gonna make one minor, trivial little point that I haven’t seen anybody else bring up yet.

‘Cornell 7’ frat bro claimed accuser ‘sodomized’ him and that school didn’t care he was sex-assault ‘survivor:’ report
The frat brother at the center of the “Cornell 7” gang-rape allegations claimed to campus officials that the accuser “sodomized” him — and complained nobody cared he was a sex-assault “survivor,” an explosive new report says.

Matthew Ingalls’ stunning assertions came as separate documents showed the fraternity scrambled to control the story out of fear that “the reputation of all involved and the frat would be ruined” — and tried to frame the alleged rape as a “consensual orgy,’’ ABC News reported.

Ingalls — the Chi Phi brother who the accuser said sparked her alleged 2024 gang rape — wrote to campus officials in a seething email that the Ivy League school was guilty of “gender discrimination” and “entrapment” as it conducted its investigation into him and six of his fraternity brothers over the alleged horror.

“You received information that I was sodomized by her while I was incapacitated back in November, and you never once thought to alert me of my rights under these procedures as a survivor of this assault?” Ingalls said in the February 2025 missive to Cornell’s Title IX office and obtained by ABC.

“The very fact that I had to bring this to your attention now in February confirms my worst fears: that this process is rolled [sic] with gender discrimination,” he said.

The email came three months after the woman, only identified as Jane Doe in her civil lawsuit involving the allegations, accused Ingalls of inviting her to his frat house and plying her with drugs and alcohol, then propositioning her for a three-way that quickly escalated into rounds of fraternity brothers stopping into the room to join in on the sex.

Now, everything I’ve seen so far regarding this mishegoss indicates a classic, Mark 1-Mod 0 case of morning-after-gang-bang guilt leading directly to the inevitable shrieks of “rape, rape, I been RAAAAAAPED!!”

One problem: do note above that Matthew Ingalls not only is referred to, in this and every story you’re gonna see, by his actual, real name; in this particular case, the NYP article also includes a large color photo of the poor schlub as well. He’s been expelled from school, hounded and hassled by the usual AWFL suspects, and no matter how it all turns out in the end, his life has been ruined beyond hope of repair.

All that grief, sorrow, vengeance, and aggravation, mind, just because some nameless cockholster got so fucked up ‘n’ high (as my late wife liked to say) that bringing her dirtiest, most outré sexual fantasies to life began to sound like a good idea.

She does that thing. Ahh, but then, after thinking it over for a cpl-three weeks, discussing all the ins and outs (heh; sorry) with The Girls, and staring at herself in mirrors, window panes, and various other reflective surfaces for extended periods, she decides she’d like to take it all back? That, far from being a consensual if admittedly kinky encounter, she had in fact been brutally gang-raped by slavering, monstrous frat-house horndogs?

We know Matt Ingalls’ name; we know who he is and what he looks like; we know what to make of him and his ill-advised actions that fateful night. And yet, for undisclosed reasons, the accuser remains well beyond stand-off distance, protected from all scrutiny by the “Jane Doe” shield.

I can’t be the only person out here who thinks this is horribly unfair. If the Chi-Phi bros who climbed this sleazy, greasy cum-dumpster are to be named and shamed, then shouldn’t she be as well?

Seems to me that, after the Tompkins County DA’s office had wrapped up its investigation and decided against charges and/or indictments for rape, the booze, Special K, and semen-sodden bimbette behind these essentially meritless accusations ought to lose at least some of her “unidentified victim” gloss, no?

When rape-rape…ISN’T

Posted on October 6, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

Which, as it turns out, is most of the time.

The Campus Rape Myth
The reality: bogus statistics, feminist victimology, and university-approved sex toys

The campus rape industry’s central tenet is that one-quarter of all college girls will be raped or be the targets of attempted rape by the end of their college years (completed rapes outnumbering attempted rapes by a ratio of about three to two). The girls’ assailants are not terrifying strangers grabbing them in dark alleys but the guys sitting next to them in class or at the cafeteria.

This claim, first published in Ms. magazine in 1987, took the universities by storm. By the early 1990s, campus rape centers and 24-hour hotlines were opening across the country, aided by tens of millions of dollars of federal funding. Victimhood rituals sprang up: first the Take Back the Night rallies, in which alleged rape victims reveal their stories to gathered crowds of candle-holding supporters; then the Clothesline Project, in which T-shirts made by self-proclaimed rape survivors are strung on campus, while recorded sounds of gongs and drums mark minute-by-minute casualties of the “rape culture.” A special rhetoric emerged: victims’ family and friends were “co-survivors”; “survivors” existed in a larger “community of survivors.”

An army of salesmen took to the road, selling advice to administrators on how to structure sexual-assault procedures, and lecturing freshmen on the “undetected rapists” in their midst. Rape bureaucrats exchanged notes at such gatherings as the Inter Ivy Sexual Assault Conferences and the New England College Sexual Assault Network. Organizations like One in Four and Men Can Stop Rape tried to persuade college boys to redefine their masculinity away from the “rape culture.” The college rape infrastructure shows no signs of a slowdown. In 2006, for example, Yale created a new Sexual Harassment and Assault Resources and Education Center, despite numerous resources for rape victims already on campus.

If the one-in-four statistic is correct—it is sometimes modified to “one-in-five to one-in-four”—campus rape represents a crime wave of unprecedented proportions. No crime, much less one as serious as rape, has a victimization rate remotely approaching 20 or 25 percent, even over many years. The 2006 violent crime rate in Detroit, one of the most violent cities in America, was 2,400 murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults per 100,000 inhabitants—a rate of 2.4 percent. The one-in-four statistic would mean that every year, millions of young women graduate who have suffered the most terrifying assault, short of murder, that a woman can experience. Such a crime wave would require nothing less than a state of emergency—Take Back the Night rallies and 24-hour hotlines would hardly be adequate to counter this tsunami of sexual violence. Admissions policies letting in tens of thousands of vicious criminals would require a complete revision, perhaps banning boys entirely. The nation’s nearly 10 million female undergrads would need to take the most stringent safety precautions. Certainly, they would have to alter their sexual behavior radically to avoid falling prey to the rape epidemic.

None of this crisis response occurs, of course—because the crisis doesn’t exist.

SO. Same as nearly all the other “liberal”-panic shibboleths we’ve been (force)fed over lo, these many years, then.

Lock him up!

Posted on October 6, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

Just kidding about that, of course. But you know they probably will.

Basil Fawlty, Mad Bomber? John Cleese Reported to Counterterror Cops.
It’s always the guy you least expect, amirite? John Cleese, beloved around the world for his comic turns in the Monty Python troupe, as well as for his brilliant portrayal of the addlepated innkeeper Basil Fawlty, has been reported to Prevent, Britain’s counterterror policing program.

Has Cleese answered the call of Allah and strapped on a bomb vest? Has he applied for flight school and explained that he didn’t need to learn how to take off or land? No, it’s nothing like that. The unpardonable sin and possible criminal offense that Cleese has committed is that he has criticized Islam. Yeah, in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, that’s equivalent to bombing a bus.

So what did Cleese say that was bad enough to get him locked up by the British Thought Police? Oh, just telling the plain, obvious truth, that’s all it takes nowadays.

These groups aren’t just trying to stop Cleese from speaking; they’re trying to get him imprisoned. It was 5Pillars that broke the story that Cleese had been reported to Prevent for allegedly “incendiary posts about Muslims and Islam.”

It seems that Cleese complained about a culture “whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with.” He also warned that Britain was “under attack from Muslim belief systems, especially the Koranic…”

Cleese also wrote: “I personally prefer a culture that does not approve of FGM, Child Marriage and Killing Infidels,” and called Islam “the religion of paedophiles.” Here again, is the truth any defense? When two Muslim doctors went on trial a few years ago for performing female genital mutilations in the Detroit area, their defense was that the practice was part of their religion. Child marriage is rampant in some areas of the Islamic world because of the example of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who consummated his marriage with a nine-year-old girl when he was 54.

The Muslims who reported Cleese appear to be banking on the likelihood that Prevent officials and other British authorities will not be aware that what he said was accurate. With no reference to whether what Cleese said was true or false, “the complainant reportedly described the pattern of social media posts as dehumanising and as collectively attributing violence and criminality to Muslims, and assessed the risk as ‘Moderate to High.’”

The risk? Do they actually expect the British government, or the British people, to think that Basil Fawlty constitutes some risk to national security?

Not really, no. They expect that the squeaky Moslem wheel will continue to get the grease, as it always does nowadays.

On hellholes

The end-stage Leftwit Superstate.

I’m French 🇫🇷.
I was born in Paris.
I spent 25 years there.

But now: I don’t even want to know what happens in that hellhole 💀⚰️.

Not “troubled.” Not “declining.” Not “going through a difficult period.”

No. A HELLHOLE.

A country where everything is dirty, expensive, hostile, bureaucratic and permanently dysfunctional.

You pay absurd taxes for public services that increasingly behave as if providing a service were an unreasonable personal request.

Paris is noise, aggression, filth, traffic, strikes, scaffolding, sirens, queues, broken infrastructure and the constant sensation that every basic task has been deliberately redesigned to waste your time.

Nothing works without friction.
Nothing happens without paperwork.
Nothing can be fixed without a committee, a consultation, a union dispute, three administrative layers and somebody explaining why expecting normality is politically problematic.

Gee, THAT doesn’t sound at all familiar.

News you can REALLY use

Posted on October 4, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

Using a plastic cutting board? Then stop. Just…STOP.

So when my husband turned 40 this spring, I splurged on something we’d always talked about: a private Japanese dinner, cooked by a real chef right in our own kitchen.

Chef Hiro arrived with a knife roll that probably cost more than my car payment. But what caught my eye was something else: tucked in next to the knives, he’d brought his own cutting board.

I laughed and told him we owned cutting boards — he really didn’t have to pack one. He smiled politely and kept setting up. Later, while he was prepping, I asked him about it.

Instead of answering, he picked up my cutting board — the white plastic one from Target I’d been using for about 18 months — and held it up under the kitchen light.

“Do you see all these scratches?” he asked, running his thumb across the deep grooves and knife marks. “That’s plastic your knife shaved off the board. So where do you think it all went?”

I just stared at him.

“It went into the food,” he said, setting it back down. “I stopped cutting on plastic years ago. Most chefs I know back home have too.”

I laughed it off in the moment. But that night, after the kids were in bed, I couldn’t stop thinking about it — so I started googling. Within ten minutes I found a university study that literally made me sick to my stomach.

The average person swallows up to 50 grams of microplastics from their cutting board every year.

That’s roughly the weight of ten credit cards — tiny, invisible plastic particles getting ground straight into your food every time you slice, dice, or chop. And I had been doing exactly that on the same plastic board for years, mindlessly serving it to my family.

Believe it or leave it, things only get worserer and worserer from there. From what I’ve read over the years, wooden boards have their issues also; in fact, I suspect that one way or another, there are always gonna be perfectly valid objections to any cutting-board material you can think of, up to and likely including stainless steel. But I washed my hands (in a manner of speaking—heh) of the plastic ones years and years ago, and have no plans to go back to ’em.

Betting against Elon

Posted on October 2, 2026October 2, 2026 by Mike 2 Comments

I wouldn’t, but could be that’s just me.

AT&T CEO says Elon Musk’s SpaceX phone strategy not “viable”
Elon Musk’s plan to turn SpaceX into a major threat to the legacy telecom companies is “not a viable strategy,” AT&T CEO John Stankey tells Axios.

Why it matters: Musk and SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell recently touted their plan to turn the company’s Starlink satellite business into a global competitor to traditional phone-and-internet-service companies.

Driving the news: AT&T is betting on its strategy of deploying fiber infrastructure to boost its internet business at a time when AI is driving booming demand.

The company on Tuesday announced a $3 billion deal with Corning to provide the infrastructure, saying fiber is three times faster than satellite.

“Nothing beats it,” Stankey told Axios in an interview, adding that “satellite, at its best — if everything happens right over the next 10 years” — is “still not going to beat fiber.”

State of play: Starlink already competes with traditional telecom companies for home and business internet customers — and SpaceX is now talking about a mobile business that would put it in more direct competition with wireless carriers.

“I anticipate us to be able to acquire quite a few of their customers because I think our service will be better,” Shotwell said in August on SpaceX’s first earnings call after going public.

The shot across the bow caused shares to drop the next day for AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.

Could be Mr Stankey is correct, could be he ain’t. Certainly, his bluff, can-do positivity is the right stance for a CEO in his position to be taking. We’ll see how it all shakes out soon enough, I reckon.

Myself, I’m nothing like tech-savvy enough to offer a useful opinion on the matter way or another. That said, though, I think we’ve all seen enough of Mr Musk by now to know that betting against him is not usually the way you wanna be going. And that, laddie-buck, is about as far out on this particular limb as I’m willing to extend myself.

Via Insty, who kinda-sorta endorses my above reticence as follows: “PEOPLE KEEP SAYING ELON CAN’T DO THINGS, BUT THEIR TRACK RECORD IS POOR.” T’is indeed, buddy-ro. T’is indeed.

Just in case any of you out there had made the mistake of assuming that Burnham would be—HAD to be, actually—any kind of improvement over Starmer.

UK believes Iran involved in RAF Fairford incident, Burnham says
The government believes that Iran played a part in the RAF Fairford incident which resulted in five men being arrested and then bailed, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said.

“There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford,” he told the BBC. He did not provide further details.

Well, I mean, y’know, like, D’UH. Is there any sinister jihadi cookie-jar Iran DOESN’T have a hand—BOTH hands, s’cuse me—jammed deeply, inextricably into, all the way up to the elbows?

Iran has responded, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying the UK leader was “barking up the wrong tree”.

“I can confirm Iran’s belief that releasing supposed terrorists working for foreign states really says it all,” he wrote on social media.

Of course, the Iranians are perennial, irredeemable liars, but with that last bit I must admit he’s onto something.

Asked why the suspects had been released on bail – a decision which has been openly questioned by President Donald Trump – Burnham insisted the men were subject to the “strictest possible bail conditions”.

Another patent, transparent lie, establishing once again that the Persians do NOT have a corner on that market. As for Trump “openly questioning” the craven, incroyable decision by the UK to cut these malefactors loose on their own recognizance, more or less, the usual shitlib suspects will squeal like stuck pigs about it, but he’s absolutely right to do so.

In truth, he wouldn’t be much of a US Prez-mo-dent, or any kind of an American either, if he hadn’t. Honestly, this sudden catch-and-release maneuver is eminently questionable, to say the least; more to the point, forrmerly-Great Britainistan’s government’s weird move is outright dodgy, among severa otherl likewise-unpleasant possibilities. Thus:

Speaking at the White House on Monday, Trump said: “I will tell you, I would have said, ‘don’t let them have bail’. I’m surprised that they released them. I wouldn’t have done that.”

But Burnham said: “I think people need to understand that when it says released – that isn’t as people might think. It’s obviously with the strictest possible bail conditions.

“The authorities have this under the strongest grip and closest control, and I can assure you of that.”

Uh huh, RIGHT. Ten’ll getcha twenty that this aforementioned “strongest grip and closest control” the PM is yapping bonelessly about isn’t anything like as “strong and close” as the gimlet-eyed scrutiny the Brits will be enforcing against the 80-plus-year-old Grandma who gets her butt caught in the blades of the UK “justice” system. called to answer charges on numerous counts of seriously heinous (no really, you guys!) “crimes” such as Double-Plus Ungoodthink; Wrongspeech; Unlawful Melanin Deficiency in a Public Place; Looking Illegally Askance at Our Dark-Complected Brethren; Aggravated Covert Raycississisming; or, say, Uttering a Discouraging Word sotto voce after having been hurled violently to the pavement, stripped altogether nekkid in broad daylight, and gang-Culturally Enriched by fifteen (15) Pakistani Youths™ in downtown Brixton last week.

And if for some bizarre, incomprehensible reason Duly Constituted British and/or Europeen Authority failed in their sworn, sacred duty to see to it that Granmaw got hers last week—in fullest measure, no stinting, holding back, or pulling of a single punch—you may rest assured she will NEXT week, or the week after that at the absolute latest. As the great old t-shirt/bumper sticker/whatever slogan once opined in reference to snipers, so it now is for the traditional English Gramma:

Why run? You’ll only die tired. After all, it’s not as if there’s anyplace left in Aulde Blighty to run to anyways.

PROGRESS update! A wave becomes a current becomes a tide becomes a tsunami. Hopefully so, at any rate.

More Countries Are Introducing Laws Targeting Religious Customs
Portugal has enacted a new law banning most face coverings in public, adding the country to a growing list of European nations that restrict garments such as the burka and niqab.

President António José Seguro signed the measure after it was adopted in Lisbon in July with support from a right-wing governing coalition, according to GB News.

Although frequently described as Portugal’s “burka law,” the legislation does not expressly single out Islam. Instead, it prohibits clothing intended to conceal or obstruct a person’s face in public.

Gotta love that “…Laws Targeting Religious Customs” scare-propagandizing, don’tcha? Don’t necessarily have to “expressly single out” Pisslam at this stage anyways; nobody’s gonna need to resort to any blind SWAG-work (ie, the venerable old Scientific Wild-Ass Guess) as to what’s being proscribed here, nor the reason for it. Leastways, if the Holy Catholic Church has started requiring full-face-concealing garb for its female congregants, I ain’t heard about it as of yet. Could be a different story for the nuns, I dunno.

There are several exceptions. Face coverings remain permissible for professional and health purposes as well as certain artistic, advertising and entertainment activities.

The restrictions also do not apply in places of worship or at holy sites. Aircraft and certain diplomatic and consular circumstances are similarly exempt.

Those distinctions have not stopped human-rights organizations from arguing that Muslim women who wear full-face veils will bear the practical consequences of the legislation.

João Godinho Martins, executive director of Amnesty International in Portugal, called the measure “a threat to human rights.”

“Despite having removed direct references to Islam, which were a part of previous versions of the text, this new law clearly violates the human rights of Muslim women who choose to cover their faces,” Martins said. “It is a direct threat to their freedom of expression and freedom of religion.”

Uh huh, right, assmunch. Funny, but I haven’t noticed any indignant, fretful noises emanating from either you or your organization concerning Moslem women’s “freedom of expression and…religion” in any other context, nor in any Moslem nations either. Gee, wonder why that might be.

My favorite bit is coming up, which you’ll recognize from the boldface I’ll be using for it.

Portugal is far from the first European country to legislate on the issue.

According to the Express, 24 other countries have imposed burka or face-covering restrictions of some kind. European countries with such measures include France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway and Luxembourg, though the scope and legal structure of their restrictions differ.

Niiiice. Enough so to warm the cockles of even my cold, black heart, I gotta tell ya. Fingers and/or toes crossed (no, I do NOT have any toes anymore, sad to say) that it won’t turn out to be just another damnable instance of way too llittle, way too late.

The “capitalism” these know-nothing lunkheads claim they hate so bad…AIN’T.

Gen Z voters hate capitalism — but they’ve barely even seen it
Young voters are financially drowning — and the life raft the Democratic Socialists of America is throwing them is an anchor in disguise.

If Americans don’t see past this facade, they’ll be sinking even faster.

Consider a typical 22-year-old, fresh out of college with a business degree and a decent entry-level job in a booming city like Austin, Texas.

Rent eats a third of his paycheck, while nearly one-fifth of it goes to commuting costs.

He’s paying down tens (if not hundreds) of thousands in student loans.

Without help from Mom and Dad, a down payment on a home is decades away, as is marriage.

Little wonder that only 9% of voters under 30 have a “very positive” view of capitalism, or that nearly 60% of voters aged 18 to 24 want a Democratic Socialist to win the White House in 2028, according to a recent Heartland/Rasmussen poll.

Young voters are right that the system is failing them.

They’re wrong, though, about which system it is.

What they’ve experienced isn’t free-market capitalism at all — it’s a quasi-socialist economy that’s let government displace the market in precisely the spending categories that have become least affordable.

Turning further toward socialism means embracing the anchor that’s already weighing them down.

Just look at where their pain is already concentrated: education, housing and health care.

These are among the most regulated, subsidized and government-directed sectors of the American economy, and therefore the least like capitalism.

It’s no coincidence they’re also the least affordable.

What they’ve experienced isn’t free-market capitalism at all — it’s a quasi-socialist economy that’s let government displace the market in precisely the spending categories that have become least affordable.

Turning further toward socialism means embracing the anchor that’s already weighing them down.

Highlighting yet again the sheer diabolical genius of people like Alinski, Gramsci, Croly, Marcuse, and all the rest of the Lesser Demons.

Feel-good story of the year

Posted on September 30, 2026September 30, 2026 by Mike Leave a comment

God bless Israel, and the Israeli people.

What we know about stabbing on Flydubai flight to Israel
A flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv was diverted to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday after one pilot stabbed the other and “apparently tried to crash the plane”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said.

The pilot was arrested and is being questioned by Saudi authorities, Netanyahu added.

The plane’s captain and first officer were injured and taken to hospital, the company that owns the Saudi Arabian airport said, while the airline Flydubai confirmed all passengers are safe and accounted for.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has called the incident an “attempted jihadist terror attack”. The BBC is yet to receive official statements from police, emergency services, or investigators regarding any motive.

Via Ace, who adds:

The plane made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, thanks to the Israelis aboard “committing a genocide” on the terrorist.

I’m sure that’s what CAIR will be saying any minute. When the Israelis beat the shit out of the terrorist attempting to kill them, did you know they killed 750,000 Gazan children? It’s true. An Arab journalist said it. So it must be true.

Heh. Indeed. Ace also has the feel-good picture of the year, featuring one of the passengers who broke into the cockpit and beat the raghead sumbitch who attempted to hijack the flight absolutely bloody. To wit:

There, feels damned good, don’t it?

– Boasted of the most secure border in American history with ZERO illegal aliens admitted
– Declared America is BACK, stronger than ever, and in a GOLDEN AGE after Biden’s dark age
– Mic-dropped failed globalist leaders: while others talked peace, he MADE peace
– Vowed Iran will NEVER get a nuclear weapon and said the Middle East bully is finished
– Teased a huge post-election decision: strike a deal, or annihilate the Islamic Republic
– Exposed Iran as weak and desperate, not strong, and predicted Iranian terror’s end
– Slammed cowards and traitors leaking fake “low munitions” claims mid-conflict
– Took a victory lap over capturing Maduro and signing the largest oil deal in history
– Laid down the Donroe Doctrine: no threats get a foothold in the Western Hemisphere
– Refused to apologize for crushing drug cartels, calling them the ISIS of the hemisphere
– Locked in permanent Greenland security rights that shut out China, Russia, and adversary investment
– Renamed Artificial Intelligence to Super Intelligence and vowed America stays #1 over China
– Closed with a nationalist call to strengthen nations, grow economies, and God bless America

And that’s just a non-exhaustive list.

Amazingly enough, it is. About damned time a US Prexy had balls enough to beard the UN lion in its very den, sayeth I. Via Ace.

Queer community SPLINTERED!!!

Posted on September 22, 2026September 22, 2026 by Mike

Shocking, unexpected, and extravagantly out of character, I know.

The August 31 Instagram post from Last Ditch Bar and Arts Venue, a lesbian bar in Greenfield, was upbeat, teasing a new DJ lineup and a volunteer meetup. But partway down the rainbow-hued post labeled “UPDATES!” was a sentence that would splinter the queer community in this small Pioneer Valley city and beyond. “It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional,” wrote Last Ditch.

Previously, patrons were required to wear a well-fitted KN-95 mask “or better” at all times.

The new policy was not received with love.

“Just say you’re being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with,” wrote one commenter.

“people like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience,” posted another.

“I hope your venue gets firebombed for robbing my fellow immunocompromised people of their Saturday plans just to scrape extra revenue from ablists [sic],” wrote a third.

Oh, forgot to mention “pathetic” up there, didn’t I? Feel free to throw that in in your heads, gang. Mea maxima culpas for that most lamentable lapse.

Link all squinched up in the original Insty post, so I just went with Ed’s excerpt.

Okay, I gotta admit, when I saw this my mind was well and truly blown.

Here’s the Answer to Those White House Tweets Teasing That ‘Something’s Coming’
CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned from White House briefings by President Donald Trump last week for being “fake news.” They responded by making a joint statement on Monday announcing they would be suing to get their access restored.

Then other media outlets that were involved in the pool coverage of the White House said they would be suspending their coverage of Trump and the White House in response to the ban of the outlets.

The whining was something.

Then the White House teased that “something was coming” and advised people to watch the White House X account.

The White House appears to be getting ready to do an end run around the legacy media. They just posted this tweet.

Now, all that’s hilarious enough already, yeah. BUT, just to make the whole scenario even more delicious, jam-packed with rich, buttery goodness, and SOOO good for you, here’s the rest of the story.

See, I just happen to be about a third of the way through Book 5 of Kurt Schlichter’s awesome Kelly Turnbull series of novels, this one titled Crisis, when what to my wondering eyes should appear but the introduction of a new character, a highly atypical female TeeWee news-wench name of Avery Barnes. Check it:

“Hey,” said a woman’s voice from behind Turnbull, one with a lightly suppressed Southern lilt. “You in the leather jacket.”

Turnbull pivoted, assuming he’d draw the SIG and go for a Mozambique drill on his interlocutor – two in the chest, one in the hat rack – if it came to that. But his kill plan wasn’t necessary, at least not at that moment.

The woman calling to him was a pretty blonde in her early 30s, clearly a reporter since a cameraman was standing next to her, munching on a green apple and looking bored. He was dressed like a hobo, as field cameramen generally are, but she was extremely put together. She looked like she was about to walk into her suburban Georgia Baptist church for the first time after getting divorced, with a slightly too-tight red dress that hovered above her knees, loads of make-up, and every hair locked into its assigned place. The mic she held said “Trump News Network” in gold letters.

SO. If the White House staff haven’t come up with a name for this new venture yet, I may could offer a suggestion.

Bullshit artist

Y’know, for a fella who starts his article off by saying “I don’t normally comment on political races,” he sure packs a helluva wallop.

Calling Bullsh-t on James Talarico
Jesus is not your campaign surrogate.

I don’t normally comment on political races, but when I see someone who is as fundamentally full of sh-t as James Talarico, I believe it is my duty to say something about it. James Talarico is now the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate from Texas, having defeated Jasmine Crockett in the 2026 primary. He has discovered a political instrument more powerful than a Super PAC, more versatile than a focus group, and considerably harder to interview: Jesus Christ. After generations of right-wing Protestant pastors hijacking the message of Jesus and turning him into some kind of political football, you have to hand it to James. After all, he is shameless enough to say, why not me?

Down in the backwater leftist stronghold of Austin, Texas, Talarico is selling progressive politics with a halo. He has shamelessly transformed Jesus into a mouthpiece for leftist progressivism. But that same feeling that we used to get when we watched the PTL Club pervades his aura. I have to hand it to American Protestantism; despite its amazing versatility, it can still make you feel dirty, cheap, and used.

Talarico’s maneuver is a simple one for the simple-minded. He selects biblical passages that he can bastardize and put into the service of leftist progressivism, as if it were a direct command from the Lord Jesus Christ to the White House and the U.S. Senate. Jesus becomes a mouthpiece for the massive expansion of government, open borders and illegal immigration, and NGOs. However, the clarity of his stance rolls into the fog the moment that the fate of an unborn child enters the discussion.

It would be too simple to call him a political whore. But I have to say that hearing him speak makes me nostalgic for Jasmine Crockett. Talarico has shamelessly peddled the God-loves-abortion argument that was vomited out by his professors at the far-left seminary he attended in Austin. Just a quick review of the course catalogue puts the “seminary” in the same political hotbox as any American progressive propaganda center these days. As a survivor of Harvard Divinity School, I can recognize all the usual fluff: Activism and the Old Testament Scriptures, Womanist and Feminist readings of the New Testament, Immigration and the Old Testament, Communication for Ministries of Social Justice. At Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, there is not even a pretense to read the Bible through anything other than a Marxist, feminist lens. The historical texts never stood a chance.

What is especially loathsome about these seminaries is that they seem to barely read the printed word and have no real interest in what the Gospels actually say. Their efforts have been directed toward “demythologizing” the gospel (Rudolf Bultmann), finding the secular meaning (Paul van Buren), secularizing the message (Harvey Cox, The Secular City), or drawing a picture of God to their liking, literally conjured up from thin air (God the Problem, Gordon Kaufman). Then there are the feminist wackos like Mary Daly, the “theologian” who despised all men, would not accept men into her classroom, and would only refer to God as “Goddess.” For any serious scholar who actually wants to study Augustine, Aquinas, Athanasius, Luther, or the actual Bible, stay the hell away from a mainstream Protestant seminary. They wouldn’t know a Bible if it fell off the shelf and hit them over the head. They haven’t even lifted their heads out of Das Kapital for the last 75 years.

“It would be too simple,” you say? I dunno, myself; seems to me that calling the smarmy cockholster a “political whore” meets the case quite nicely.
