The event included many of the big names in politics and the media, and was hosted by the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association (WHCA), an organization of journalists who cover the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would never attend that. I have no interest in that,\u201d he said when asked about the event during an unrelated news conference in Jacksonville.\u00a0 \u201cI did not watch it. I don\u2019t care what they do. But for them to advertise me when that invitation was rejected by my office. That is a lie,\u201d DeSantis said, adding later that the reason the corporate media is \u201cso reviled\u201d is because of its habit of perpetuating provable lies.<\/p>\n<p>The confusion came after the host of the event, comedian Trevor Noah, falsely claimed during his routine that DeSantis was in the audience, pointing and waving at someone in the audience as if he were the governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my favorites, Ron DeSantis is here. Oh man, I\u2019m actually surprised that he found the time,\u201d Noah said. \u201cYou know he has been so busy trying to outmaneuver Trump for 2024. I see you, Ron. I see you, player. I see what you been doing!\u201d the comedian added, pointing toward someone in the audience.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The rest of the twerpy shitlib&#8217;s little skit didn&#8217;t improve from there, to no one&#8217;s surprise, being a tired regurgitation of the same old tired Lefty one-liners flogging the same old tired Lefty hobbyhorses in the same old tired way. If you&#8217;re one of those people who thinks watching a no-talent Leftard C-lister reassuring a funnybone-bereft Leftard audience that <em>yes, we really ARE the Smart Ones, oh yes we are!!<\/em> amounts to a swell way to spend your evening, well hey, have at it, and all the best to ya.<\/p>\n<p>If, on the other hand, you&#8217;re the kind of guy who knows a small auditorium&#8217;s worth of tightassed, smarmy flatworms, not one of whom would recognize <em>funny<\/em> if it knocked them down, tore off their skinny jeans, raunched them up the fudge tunnel, and left them a sore-assed heap on the sidewalk tearfully pleading for you to <em>CALL ME!<\/em> when you see one&#8230;well, here, have yourself a little more <em>really<\/em> funny stuff.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhy are people saying Governor DeSantis is at the White House Correspondents Dinner!? Because DC Democrats and media (but I repeat myself) can\u2019t stop talking about him even during their nerd prom?\u201d DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw\u00a0tweeted\u00a0on Sunday. \u201cThis is wishful thinking\/obsession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis expressed his disgust with the media on Monday for getting yet another story wrong while pretending to be \u201cparagons of truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so here they are saying how important they are that they\u2019re somehow these paragons of truth, and yet there they are lying about something that is readily verifiable,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd so the idea that I was there is false the idea that I would have ever gone is false, and why they would want to try to perpetuate a lie about that I don\u2019t know. But I think it just shows you why that cabal of people in DC [and] New York, are so reviled by so many Americans. I think it\u2019s a reputation that\u2019s been well deserved.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Deserved is right, and many times over.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s starting to seem kinda pitiful, don&#8217;tchathink, how Leftards carry on trying to poke and prod and irritate people who have clearly moved on, and no longer give a fiddler&#8217;s fuck about what they might think, say, or feel about <em>anything<\/em>. Yet still they persist. Now, that&#8217;s bad enough for them, absolutely. But now, with this latest feeble Hail-Mary lunge trying to trip up DeSantis&mdash;claiming he was at Nerd Prom when he provably wasn&#8217;t, ferchrissakes&mdash;all they managed in the end was to look like fools lost in Loserville, mired up to their clavicles with no chance of finding their way out again.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, DeSantis is floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, leaving droolcase Proggy canvasbacks baffled, bemused, and punchdrunk, searching frantically about for a neutral corner to go collapse in. If Reagan was the Teflon President, well, I do believe Ron DeSantis is rapidly earning himself a similar <em>nom de guerre<\/em>. The shitlibs just can&#8217;t seem to lay a glove on him no matter how hard they try, and it&#8217;s a total gas to watch, as good as 1980&#8217;s Hearns\/Sugar Ray Leonard classic donnybrook.<\/p>\n<p>One of the bigger reasons I&#8217;m such a big fan of Da Gov is that he&#8217;s one of a very, very few Righty public figures who are beginning to see the value in the approach I&#8217;ve been urging for so long: stop already with the expressions of stunned horror over each day&#8217;s fresh new example of hypocrisy, unfairness, double standards, and wheeled goalposts from the Left, as if their reliably bad behavior could be anything more than mere routine by now&mdash;just standard, dull fare, not really worth taking note of anymore, if it ever was.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone still genuinely surprised by the Left&#8217;s endlessly obnoxious monkeyshines after all this time probably shouldn&#8217;t be allowed to leave the house without close adult supervision, lest they fall down a well or some such thing. Their guardian, keeper, or warden needs to remove all sharp objects from the vicinity posthaste, put a large cork on the tines of his fork at dinnertime, and clip a leash around his neck whose other end is attached to the clothesline in the backyard, like my Grandma used to do to my dad when he was a young &#8216;un so as to keep him from wandering far enough off to get himself in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the most useful thing any Real American can do whilst we all wait around for the ball to drop and hostilities to commence is to separate and segregate ourselves from Leftists to the greatest extent possible. When forced into any sort of contact or congress with them, we should igjore them when we can, treat them with undisguised contempt when we can&#8217;t. Under NO circumstances should we give the least indication that we take them seriously; that their views are in any way worthy of serious consideration; that we respect or like them personally. We should instead think of them as the witless pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates they truly are, worthy only of being stomped on and crushed into noisome goo under our boots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What would you Democrats do if a Republican said that?&#8221; &#8220;Dems won&#8217;t like it much when the Republicans treat them the exact same way once we get back in charge again!&#8221; &#8220;We must not sink to their level! That&#8217;s not who we are!&#8221; &#8220;Oh look, the Leftard protesters trashed the park, but WE always clean up after ourselves!&#8221; And perhaps my all-time favorite: &#8220;They put 23 of us into the hospital today, but at <em>our<\/em> rally last week none of <em>them<\/em> were injured!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Folks, if you&#8217;re talking like this, you are NOT winning, you are <u>LOSING<\/u>. It&#8217;s time and past time to retire all follow-through-free rhetoric, no matter how thunderous. All those with a fucking lick of sense know The Enemy top to bottom, stem to stern, and forwards and backwards by now. Any who DON&#8217;T know, or are pretending they don&#8217;t, should be put out to pasture and forgotten right along with the aforementioned empty rhetoric. It&#8217;s time to start waging this war as if we mean to <em>win<\/em> the goddamned thing. <strong>Note ye well:<\/strong> <em>no war was ever won by talking one&#8217;s enemy to death<\/em>. You have to <em>KILL THEM<\/em>. You must <em>BREAK THEIR SHIT<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>One last Sunshine State-style bitchslap for y&#8217;all to groove on. It would seem that when DeSantis The Barbarian hired the endlessly entertaining Chris Pushaw as his press secretary, he accomplished something Trump talked about throughout the 2016 election campaign but, inexplicably, never even came close to actually doing: <em>HIRING THE BEST PEOPLE<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">wow, politicians who spent the last 2 years pushing lockdowns, forced masking, and the unconstitutional OSHA vaccine mandate are pretending to be worried about &quot;a future in which the government can potentially interfere in the personal decisions you make about your life&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IoUH83FwVK\">https:\/\/t.co\/IoUH83FwVK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Christina Pushaw \ud83d\udc0a \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@ChristinaPushaw) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChristinaPushaw\/status\/1521532257051328512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Ouch!
