A Perfect Metaphor for What's Happened to Journalism Over the Past Few Decades.

The Gilded Temple to Themselves "The Newseum" Fails and is Stripped of it's Facade 

It was the Gilded Monument to Journalistic Vanity. A museum immortalizing their Courage and Virtue in Pantheon-esque marble, created upon the premise that the news media weren't boastful enough of their accomplishments, that reporters weren't egotistical enough about their importance that a monument to their mighty works was to be.

Dubbed by even the Washington Post in 2018 as "A Slow Motion Disaster" for the hefty price of $24.95 a head.  You didn't get to witness such historical media exhibits such as a 5,000 year old cuneiform clay tablet announcing Sargon I ascension to the Throne, nay!  But what the few who wandered in did get to see was the Watergate break-in door, props and costumes from the movie 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy', a mock-up of Tim Russert’s office, posters and reporters’ notebooks from the Ferguson protests, Andy Rooney‘s typewrite, a Boston Globe reporter’s running shoes, hundreds of press passes, and for some strange reason, even Bono’s jacket, and much more.

There was a time when the American News Media was who most of the world looked to for the best example of unvarnished truth as could be had.  But then came the advent of 24 Hr. news broadcast and with it the rise of the overly self-important media reporters, high payed on-air talking heads celebrities and an undeniable political bias.

So when we see such arrogant people who deem themselves higher then us because they, and they only hold the cup of truth, can we not feel a bit triumphant when they stumble and fall into a pile of their own excrement and their temple to themselves fails and raised to the ground. 


"They should replace it with a monument to the stunning and brave journalists who stood up against Trump! Who risked their lives to give us nothing but the facts!! Heroes, all of them."

Amazen and the Claustrophobic Broom Closet of Despair

For years, one of the largest companies in the world has been criticized for the way they treat their workers. Yes, they did up the salaries of their warehouse workers to $15 an hour, but are still under constant video and audio surveillance, and there's the stories of the notorious pee bottles, etc., etc.  But Amazon is hoping to change all of that. No, not by paying people more or actually listening to workers about what would make things better for them. But by installing dystopian despair booths, about the size of a phone booth or old timey police box, at their warehouses where employees can go to scream their lungs out do "mindfulness exercises', and likely while being monitored by central scrutiny, as they always are.

And what could possibly be more calming than a small, windowless confined space?  Not to mention the fact that everyone can see you walk into it and will probably be going, "Oh guess who is losing their shit and needs to do some mindfulness exercises," and that would be literally all you could think of while in there, other than the possibility of the door getting stuck and you running out of air and dying of asphyxia. 

The original tweet featuring the 24 sec. video below was met with such horror and mockery on social media that the company deleted it after a day.
 

It's cute that they're "trying," but perhaps they could start instead with not requiring employees to pull 10 and a 1/2 hour shifts, allow them bathroom breaks so they don't have to pee in bottles and giving them breaks longer than 30 minutes when it takes some that long to walk to and from the break room.

And maybe, just maybe pay drivers a better wage so they aren't pissed and in a hurry all time and don't act like Tom Brady dropping a dime to his favorite receiver in the corner of the end zone when delivering my new coffee maker to my porch!!!!

Having 7 of my own employees, I can tell you those things would certainly be of more help to workers than shoving them into a claustrophobic broom closet of doom with sky and clouds painted on the ceiling where they can do "mindfulness exercises" as their supervisors watch the clock like a hawk.........

If a Tree Farts in the Forest, Does it Make a Sound?

Ecologist Melinda Martinez Measures “Tree Farts” with Gas Analyzer

I gotta say, you really have to believe in yet to be proven pseudointellectual theories and endeavor to save mother earth from natural climate change to attend university for 4 to 8 years only to find yourself voluntarily slogging through a snake infested marsh in the middle of nowhere, knee deep in mud toting a gas analyzer to measure tree flatulence. 

According to experts on the subject, gases released by dead trees — dubbed “tree farts” — account for a good portion of greenhouse gases. While these emissions pale in comparison with other sources, an accurate accounting is necessary to get a full picture of where those climate-warming gases are coming from.

A team of ecologists in North Carolina went sniffing for tree farts  which form when saltwater from rising sea levels sinking shorelines poison a woodland, leaving behind a marsh full of standing dead trees called 'Ghost Forrest". They tell us dead trees decay and stop taking up carbon dioxide through photosynthesis so the results are going to be a major greenhouse gas source.

In the grand scheme of carbon emissions, ghost forests role may be minor. Tree flatulence has nothing on those dangerous cow farts.  A single prolific gas spewing bovine fart machine can emit up to 27 grams of methane, a far more potent gas than CO2 per hour. But we are told accounting for even minor sources of carbon is said to be important for fine-tuning our understanding of the global carbon budget, what ever that is.

Obama Commerce Dept. Holdover Ran Very Own Illegal Spy Agency During DJT Administration


With all the nonsense we'd learned about the corruption and illegal activities during the Obama Administration, like spying on AP and Fox reporters and family, nothing should really surprise us about what comes to light out of the Obama years in the WH.

And now we have the Washington Post revealing a real life version of a movie mall cop gone mad with his very limited power, with a little Watergate burglar intrigue mixed in.  A supervisor of an "obscure security unit" in the Commerce Department who got some funny ideas about what his job was supposed to be.

The "Investigations and Threat Management Service" (ITMS) is supposed to be concerned with keeping "Commerce officials and facilities safe".  But under supervisor George Lee, ITMS morphed into a kind of counterintelligence outfit, but without any actual legal authority to do covert spy stuff and shit, routinely overstepping its legal limits without meaningful oversight from within Commerce since the mid-2000s.  Under Lee, the unit did investigations of Commerce employees and regular Americans social media, based mostly on whatever whims Lee might have.

This has the potential to make a really good dark farce, with the right director and screenplay. Almost everything about Lee's attempt to build his own personal KGB seems ploddingly amateurish.  One former supervisor told WAPO that the outfit's operations seemed like "someone watched too many 'Mission Impossible' movies."

ITMS agents did nighttime searches of offices, including looking in storage areas without permission, and even picking locks.  They were all kitted out in Gordan Liddy spy gear, too!
The unit’s equipment for covert searches, kept in duffel bags, included latex gloves, shoe coverings, hairnets, balaclava-style face masks and a lock-picking set, according to a current Commerce employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss unit operations.  During some covert searches, investigators wore the face masks and avoided or blocked the view of security cameras.
OK, but did they pretend they were dodging lasers, like Tom Cruise??

Lee even design his own Derp State training program some said felt as if he learned it all by reading a book on it the day prior to class.  

Former investigators offered all sorts of charming examples of ITMS doing investigations for which it had little or no authority, like monitoring Commerce employees' emails to see if they were in contact with any foreign types, and opening files on people who sent completely nonthreatening mail to the Commerce secretary.
In one instance, the unit opened a case on a 68-year-old retiree in Florida who tweeted that the census, which is run by the Commerce Department, would be manipulated "to benefit the Trump Party!"  In another example, the unit searched Commerce servers for particular Chinese words, documents show. The search resulted in the monitoring of many Asian American employees over benign correspondence.
Now that DJT is gone and Mr. Lee relieved of his duties, the Biden Administration ordered ITMS to pause all investigations on March 10, and on May 13, ordered the suspension of all activities.  46* may not want any further stories about the activities of Lee and any activities during the last administration that may have enriched, or embarrass the democrat party in any way to come to light.  But if it does, it promises to be equal parts hilarious and cringeworthy.

This is the Kind of News That Would Drive the MSM Into a Frenzy for 24-48 Hrs During Last Administration.

The Media Now Have Deployed Knee Pads and Blinders

You remember - The media orgasms...the days of endless expert panel discussions by people no one had heard of,  the self-righteous criticism like Scarborough's rants on Squinty & Meat Puppet in the morning, to the constant accusations of racism from Don lemon at night over almost weekly headlines. 

You remember - U.S. District Judge says DJT's executive order "does not appear to serve the overall public interest." or Judge overturns restrictions on travel from seven known hotbeds of terrorism. (because Judge believes DJT's is racist). Or Judge Overturns DJT's denial of funds to illegal sanctuary cities who refuse to comply with Federal Law.  Wall to wall 24/7 manufactured outrage at the least little thing, minute to minute updated coverage for days on end.  But now, they have all gone deaf and dumb.

Case in Point: Judge Blocks Biden Administration From Doling Out Grants Based on Race, Gender.

A federal judge in Texas last week blocked the Biden administration race obsessed SJW appointees from prioritizing grants in a COVID restaurant relief program by race or gender. At issue is the fact the Biden Small Business Administration is prioritizing restaurants that are owned and controlled by women, veterans, and people THEY deem as “socially and economically disadvantaged.” The policy actively excludes entire classes of Americans not mentioned in the “priority” group (White Folks and Asians) who are also suffering significant financial losses caused by the pandemic.

In the plaintiff's suit, Philip Greer, a cafe owner, it is stated:
“The Small Business Administration lurches America dangerously backward, reversing the clock on American progress, and violating our most sacred and revered principles by actively and invidiously discriminating against American citizens solely based upon their race and sex. This is illegal, it is unconstitutional, it is wrong, and it must stop.”
Attorneys for the SBA asserted in a response to the motion for a Restraining Order that Greer lacked standing because he "hadn’t suffered an injury that was traceable to the priority period" and also argued the prioritization adopted, while being "race-conscious," don’t violate the constitutional guarantee of equal protection.

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor shot down that unconstitutional shit real quick:
"The context is clear: the evidence that Greer’s restaurant lost nearly $100,000 in gross revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic and [his] attestation that he has prepared an application and is otherwise eligible are sufficient."
America First Legal, which is representing the plaintiff, said in a statement:
"The facts of the case are straightforward: hard-hit American restaurant owners can apply for urgently-needed pandemic relief. But the government puts some owners at the back of the line for access to a limited pool of money based on their race. 
So we are presented with a simple but vital question: can the government reward or punish American citizens based upon the color of their skin or the ancestry of their families? We all know the answer. Racial discrimination, in any form, is legally and morally wrong. It is un-American. It is unconscionable. And it must be stopped."

No national news lede story of court issuing major blow to Biden administration's overt racist initiative .....no droning 20 something experts on CNN opining the unconstitutionality.. ......no raving panel discussions of Biden's bigoted intentions. Just crickets.

House Dems Vote to Feed Media It's Pre-Midterm Outrage Diet

House Democrats just passed legislation creating a 9/11-style commission regarding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. It’s just their latest effort to re-traumatize the American psyche after a failed impeachment with fabricated evidence to excommunicate their political opponents, branding any and all on the political right who dared raise concerns about chaotic November election procedures as complicit in the horror.

Most House Republicans appear to see the commission for what it is: the 2021 version of 2017’s special counsel probe run by Robert Mueller, another excuse to use the weapons of law enforcement against Democrats’ political enemies.  No self-respecting Republican would vote for the commission as proposed. The absence of any investigation into any of the widespread political violence outside of the Jan. 6 riot exposes it as deeply unserious and, worse, deeply exploitive.

By nearly every metric, however, the prolonged summer of rage excused, endorsed, and encouraged by Democrats and their allies in legacy media was far worse.

Most conservatives are not in denial about what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6. In fact, the events were roundly condemned by conservatives, who remained consistent in vilifying all political violence, a stark contrast to leftists, who broadly only came out against political violence the single time last year the disorder ensued from their opponents. There is no shortage of double-standards between response to the riot at the Capitol and the fiery riots declared “mostly peaceful” just outside that same complex in what became a familiar scene in communities across the country. Double standards that expose the gaslighting nature of the Jan. 6 commission also remain at play in the prosecution of those charged for their participation. 

American Greatness Senior Contributor Julie Kelly has documented the experiences of more than three dozen people rotting in solitary confinement awaiting trial for months while the Biden Justice Department grants leniency for individuals charged in Portland’s insurrectionist riots.

Given the nature of the commission’s scope, however, tied exclusively to the violence on Jan. 6 without any probe of the events that normalized such violent protest, the commission will merely be a tool of the left to attack the right.

The commission is nothing more than further exploitation of the Capitol riot and the continued dismissal of their own deadly record of rage

After How They Got Disgraced...This is just Creepy.


Almost from the very start, The Lincoln Project came across as shady and scummy with something to hide. You may have noticed that you've not seen the Lincoln Lads Rick Wilson or Steve Schmidt shooting the shit on CNN or MSNBC with Don Lemon or Joe Scarborough or Jon Avlon or Nicole Wallace or Brian Williams lately.

The Lincoln Project was the most obvious and glaring fraud in modern history due to the utter gullibility of Liberals and Never-Trumpers. First the group was exposed as grifters funneling the projects money to pay themselves and companies its founders ran, and then came the bombshell pedophile scandal.

It now turns out that an offshoot of TLP known as the Franklin Project is coming on Tuesday and it's aimed at children.  Yes, the grifting pedophiles of The Lincoln Project join in the Left's Poisoning children's education.
The Lincoln Project, who's entire existence is for their slezzy manner of getting under people's skin, calling out their enemies, and making ads good enough to earn them almost 3 million followers, now want to help children understand Civics and define "civility" in our society.

Does this tweet sound like it comes from the kind of people worthy of lecturing anyone on what civility means, least of all children?
The Franklin Project plans to develop and provide a K-12 civics education program it will offer free to local school districts. It also will establish the "Democracy Corps," a hyper-local movement spread across the nation "that will advocate for and amplify the values upon which America was founded. The project does not plan to align with or endorse candidates, offering a true big tent to anyone feeling misrepresented by either major party, or left out of the current political system.  The Franklin Project will be a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. Such so-called dark money advocacy organizations do not have to disclose their donors."

The Lincoln Man-Boy Love Project pedophiles shouldn't be allowed near any child. And anytime some group advocates for "nationwide" anything, indoctrination is replacing education.

Why Won’t Israelis Let Themselves Be Killed?


The global woke loathing for Israel is taking an even darker turn.  Two weeks ago Turkish forces launched a military assault in the Duhok region of Iraqi Kurdistan.  Villagers were forced to ‘flee in terror’ from raining bombs.  It was only the latest bombardment of the beleaguered Kurds by Turkey, NATO member and Western ally.  It did not trend online. 

There were no noisy protests in London or New York. The Turks weren’t talked about in woke circles as crazed, bloodthirsty killers. Tweeters didn’t dream out loud about Turks burning in hell. The Onion didn’t do any close-to-the-bone satire about how Turkish soldiers just love killing children. No, the Duhok attack passed pretty much without comment.

But when Israel engages in military action, that’s a different story. Always. Every time. Anti-Israel fury in the West has intensified to an extraordinary degree following an escalation of violence in the Middle East in recent days. Protests were instant and inflammatory. Israeli flags were burned on the streets of London. Social media was awash with condemnation.  ‘IDF Soldier Recounts Harrowing, Heroic War Story Of Killing 8-Month-Old Child’, tweeted The Onion, to tens of thousands of likes. Israel must be boycotted, isolated, cast out of the international community, leftists cried.  ‘What’s the difference?’, said a placard at a march in Washington, DC showing the Israeli flag next to the Nazi flag. The Jews are the Nazis now, you see. Ironic, isn’t it?

This is the question anti-Israel campaigners have never been able to answer: why do they treat Israel so differently to every other nation on Earth?   Why is it child-killing bloodlust when Israel takes military action but not when Turkey or India do? Why must we rush to the streets to set light to the Israel flag but never the Saudi flag, despite Saudi Arabia’s unconscionable war on Yemen?  Why is it only ‘wrong’ or at worst ‘horrific’ when Britain or America drop bombs in the Middle East but Nazism when Israel fires missiles into Gaza? Why do you merely oppose the military action of some states but you hate Israel, viscerally, publicly, loudly?

The judgement and treatment of Israel by a double standard is one of the most disturbing facets of global politics in the 21st century. That double standard has been glaringly evident over the past few days. Israel is the only country on Earth that is expected to allow itself to be attacked. To sit back and do nothing as its citizens are pelted with rocks or rockets. How else do we explain so many people’s unwillingness to place the current events in any kind of context, including the context of an avowedly anti-Semitic Islamist movement – Hamas – firing hundreds of missiles into civilian areas in Israel? In this context, to rage solely against Israel, to curse its people and burn its flag because it has sent missiles to destroy Hamas’s firing positions in Gaza, is essentially to say: ‘Why won’t Israelis let themselves be killed?’

How dare you decline to hallucinate and not “even genuinely” see what he tells you to see at any given time, you superficial bigot.

Our neotenous offendee, ¿jordan¿, is now, inevitably, feigning surprise that his - sorry, their - “simple statement” was found in any way debatable.  Now step aside, oppressor, there are selfies to be taken.

The damsel in question, aka “Commie DickGurl.” My favorite part is where they got offended for being called crazy and then acted completely crazy.

Imagine being a 34-year-old man who tries to look like a 15-year-old girl and then gets offended when he's called crazy.  And they wonder why they eventually take baths with their toasters.

Audubon Zoo Feeds The Police To The Lions

The New Orleans zoo was once an embarrassment to the city, but with Audubon redevelopment it came to become a source of civic pride. But now it seems the folks at Audubon have decided to return to the business of embarrassing themselves again – as the zookeepers have gone woke.

Responding to persons from “members of our community and from persons outside of our community” the Audubon Institute abruptly cancelled their scheduled “Blue at the Zoo” event, which was intended to “promote and foster positive experiences” with the NOPD. Their press statement smells worse than anything that dropped out the backside of a pachyderm.

“The New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation and Audubon Nature Institute partnered to host “Blue at the Zoo” in an effort to promote and foster positive interactive experiences with our New Orleans Police Department. Audubon facilities have long been welcoming and safe spaces for the children, families and citizens of our community.

“Audubon Nature Institute heard feedback regarding the event from members of our community and from persons outside of our community, who feel this event could be unintentionally divisive rather than inclusive. Though that was never the intent, Audubon Nature Institute made the decision to cancel the event. Audubon will continue to work with the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation to find ways to support the New Orleans Police Department.
 
“The Audubon Nature Institute understands and appreciates that the issue of ethical policing is at the forefront of our nation and our local community and that NOPD is a nationally recognized leader in law enforcement reform. Audubon stands firm in its support for holding law enforcement accountable for any and all unethical and unlawful behavior. Audubon also supports efforts that promote healing between law enforcement and the community. As such, working with the New Orleans Police and Justice Foundation, Audubon will be considering alternative ways to promote meaningful and impactful community engagement with the New Orleans Police Department.”

So Audubon just fed the NOPD to the lions.

Let’s evaluate and translate into plain language this media release worthy of the reptile house.

Paragraph #1: Audubon said they want to play a role in making nice with the police. Fine.

Paragraph #2: But they heard feedback (mean tweets) from locals (many Tulane students aren’t local, and the professional protest crowd represents virtually no one) and from people not from here (AKA Twitter hyenas) and thus don’t go to the zoo or give to the zoo but these leftist netizen jackals decided to make their voice heard. And unfortunately Audubon listened and amazingly enough bought what they were selling by conceding that an event being held to promote trust and engagement would somehow be divisive. 

Paragraph #3: The zoo embraced and promoted a one sided ACAB narrative without mentioning the dangers men and women in blue face every day trying to keep civilians safe in a city enduring spikes in violent crime.

And in an eel-like slippery move the Audubon Institute waited until after GiveNolaDay ended to release this statement. The Audubon Nature Institute raised almost $23,474 from 236 donors on Tuesday.

The Audubon Institute needs to immediately issue an apology to not just law enforcement for this unmistakable indictment of those who wear the badge but every victim of violent crime in Orleans Parish for having their suffering trivialized. That the Audubon Institute has the temerity to pretend that the only outrages being perpetrated in society are by law enforcement is a denial of reality. For there were no sentences of compassion in their weasel worded press release reserved for the victims of carjackings that have traumatized grandmothers and drive-by shootings that have claimed the lives of the very children their missive says they serve.

While their facility is a safe place for the aforementioned, the world outside their gates is anything but. In fact the safest mammals in Orleans Parish reside in either Audubon Place or Audubon Zoo.

BLM Releases Updated List of Demands


The Cultural Marxist Cult, Black Lives Matter, released their updated set of demands and is giving their fellow comrades and soft skull allies the opportunity to sign their name onto the new list at the BLM website. Their first of the new demands on the website states:
“We are joining Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, and others who are demanding Trump immediately be brought to justice for encouraging insurrection. Trump must also be banned from holding elected office in the future.”
The group also called for DJT to be permanently banned from “all digital media platforms,” arguing he uses the platforms “recklessly and irresponsibly to spread lies and disinformation.”

Turning their attention to Trump loyalists in Congress, they demand that all GOP lawmakers that “stoked Trump’s conspiracy theories and encouraged the white supremacists to take action to overturn the election” be expelled from Congress.  All of which goes to prove they're are not about Black Lives or civil rights at all, but highly funded leftist politics, which they deny. 

They continue to demand police departments across the country be defunded, reasoning there is a double standard in policing. The group’s last demand calls on lawmakers to pass the BREATHE Act, proposed last year and named in honor of the criminal hero George Floyd, that would reform law enforcement throughout the country while moving taxpayer dollars to a “new vision of public safety”.

In the meantime, Another weekend in Chicago.

Defense Department Denies Veterans Group a Permit for Memorial Day Event


The American Veterans (AMVETS) organization has been meeting at the Pentagon as a rallying point/parking area for their Rolling to Remember motorcycle event on Memorial Day for the past 32 years.  But not this year.  The Pentagon has released a statement denying them a permit, claiming it was due to Covid restrictions.

AmVets is in charge of the event and are a Congressionally-chartered veterans service organization, representing the interests of 20 million veterans.

The Pentagon's denial comes on the heels of the Smithsonian announcing last week that it will reopen eight of its facilities to the public in May, starting with the National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly on Wednesday, May 5.  Additional museums will open this coming Friday, the United States Holocaust Museum announced that it plans to reopen on Monday, May 17, and the National Zoo on May 21. 

So just to make clear, they’re denying veterans the right to assemble in a parking lot, outside, during the day, where they’ve gathered for 32 years.

Least we forget, Joe Biden just held a photo op / political rally outside in Georgia. Can someone explain to me the difference? Why is that event just cool with the Biden, yet this one isn’t? Are they trying to say that the veterans who protected our country aren’t responsible or aren’t worth as much respect as a Biden political rally?
