Middle Finger Symphony Theater

NOTE TO READERS:  I have not heard from our illustrious MFST Chair of Music, BluesJunky, since July 6th.  I only spoke to him occasionally, and we never met in person, although I would have loved to have gotten him down here and spent a night painting the town red had we had the chance.  In the 4 years of communication, always the gentleman, he never mentioned anything of an illness or a health problem. But who knows. He could be chasing nurses around a hospital covid-19 unit about now.

My biggest hope is he has maybe had a 'flashback' to his younger days and is marching in the street with a protest sign in his hand somewhere.  My biggest fear is he is no longer with us. Please let me be wrong.  If he is gone, he's already missed.  So, I'll lay one down I know a guy who has lived an adventurous and colorful life would appreciate.

This One's For You Jim......

Blows Against the Empire


from a Tweeter Threadunroll of ZoomZoomLagoon

"When I was in 10th grade, for some reason my school thought it wise to have a special speaker come in for “political correctness training”.........for high schoolers. This went about as well as you’d think it could.

Anyway, we were on the topic of “mentally challenged” people. We were sternly instructed to henceforth refer to them as “cognitively impaired”, to which someone yelled out “THAT SOUNDS RETARDED”

Now I don’t know if this lady has ever worked with remorseless high schoolers before, but let me tell you, this lady was SHOOK. Her face went as red as a dying star and started her “how dare you” speech. She demanded whoever said it stand up, to which another student shouted “if you think he gonna tattle on himself you might be cOGnITiVeLy IMpaiReD”!

This ladies soul left her body right then and there.

From there she did what old angry ladies do in a case like this, she resorted to the classic “you are all awful children!”  Being the peace keeper I am, I raised my hand. She called on me and I asked “in all seriousness, I don’t understand the point in changing terms to be politically correct” I said, “people will always be cruel and mean. Ok, let’s change the term to cognitively impaired, but please tell me how long until “Cogs” becomes the new slur?”

To this day I feel I made a fair point. But being a 15 y/o sucks and I got 2 weeks detention for “insubordination”. Anyway, short end to the story is for the next 3 years everyone in school called each other Cogs.

I became a legend and the school never dared bring in another PC trainer. This is my legacy. Hope you Cogs are still doing alright. Adulthood is wild ain't."

Birthday Wednesday Open Thread

On this day many years ago in a land far far away, a young Lydia Marie gave birth to what her own Mother was heard to say was the most beautiful baby girl she'd ever seen (second only to Lydia Marie herself of course).

And I, being that baby girl, shall for this day delegate my duties of business to others, I shall sleep as late I wish, eat anything my heart desires and as much as I want, and spend some well earned downtime lounging on the sofa. And after the evenings Fete du l'abondance et beaucoup de vin rouge festivities and celebration with select friends, I shall retire to the boudoir for the night only when I'm good and ready, and not before.

And if it requires panties and a bra, I will assure you, it's not happening today!

AWFL Protester: I'm Not Saying That Black Lives Matter Is All About Me and My White Savoir Complex, But.......

"AWFL" is an acronym coined by Ian Miles Cheong -- it stands for Affluent White Female Liberal, and it's pronounced just as you'd like to pronounce it.  Here we see her kind in the wild as she seeks sympathy and Twitter Validation for incurring sleep deprivation, due to her new hobby of screaming obscenities at strangers every f**king night.

The media,  at least those brave enough to send crews into the bowels of the "peaceful" protests between attacks on the federal courthouse,  prefer human interest stories on the human PR campaigns that are the Wall of Moms *wink wink* in their yellow shirts, the gay Wall of Dads in their orange shirts and leaf blowers, or the Wall of questionable Vets.

NBC News posted, without comment, video of one of those moms, allegedly a single mother who claims she’s sleep-deprived because she has to come down to the courthouse every night and yell "all cops are bastards" at the federal agents because, you know, black lives matter.  Maybe she could tell the “2-cent ninja” shielding her to tell his friends that their continued efforts to set fire to the building aren’t doing anything for the Black Lives Matter movement.

And I guess no one told her most of her yellow shirt comrades are really Portland's super woke old lesbian community playing for the camera. Unlike this miserable woman, at least they have sense enough to haul their fat asses home for a Marlboro and some Netflix when the the protesters start shooting industrial fireworks at the court house door.

The Left is Just Lying about Fighting Fascism


A Tweeter Box ThreadReader Unroll.
Mulder’s Desirous Nostrils of Magic Nurse Breath@Protein Wisdom

The left isn’t fighting against fascism. Instead, they are fighting FOR authoritarianism. They claim that their political message transcends the law; that it allows them to control cities; that it allows them to destroy property; that it justifies their designs on canceling heretics; that it permits them to block roads, create no-go zones for non-rioters, prosecute those who stand against them while themselves avoiding persecution.

Leftist-run cities have shown what happens when police and federal law enforcement are demonized and Leftist-run cities have shown what happens when police and federal law enforcement are demonized and unsupported by elected leaders; when local leadership can seize “emergency powers” — then pick and choose who to punish: rioters are exempt from lockdowns; you can sing in the streets but not in churches; masks are required, but not for them.

They can tell you what counts as a substantive meal, essentially holding businesses hostage to their arbitrary and incoherent edicts: pot dispensaries and large warehouse stores can open; gyms and restaurants cannot. They decide what hate is; what racism is; who is unclean; who is deserving of both punishment and reverence. They presume to control and police every narrative, and in that way, control and police every person.

They reduce you to your skin color, your “gender” — but mostly, to your politics: individualism, respect for rule of law, constitutional order and the color-blind equanimity that comes with it — all of these things are reduced to the cancer of “whiteness.”

“Systemic racism” is their empty catechism; it creates a Kafka trap in which you are defined by your original sin of birth, but you can neither receive absolution or forgiveness.

In short, you are defined by your birth, your color, your sex — and there is no escape: either you are born an oppressor who must be fought, or you are born a victim entitled to perpetual grievance, regardless of how much power you actually enjoy. This is the very structure of authoritarianism run through populist fascism.

It is where the left always takes you. The left has brought back segregation as “racial separatism”; they’ve stoked racial and class division; they’ve sought to control speech, which controls thought which ultimately, is meant to constrain you.

While the left riots in the streets, pulls down statues, demands the sacrificial death of pancake salespeople & rice peddlers, & calls for UNEQUAL treatment under the law, with special dispensation for favored identity groups they bellow the self-righteous claim that it is THEY who are fighting fascism.

But know this: fascism is what they ARE. And they prefer that system because they have presumed to be its leadership class, its enforcement mechanism, and its performative philosophers Either “moderates” or those who aren’t especially political wake up to these truisms, or our country as founded will fall.

Resist the conformists. The corporate enablers.

Remember this: in the fight against fascism, YOU are the outlaws, the true guerrilla warriors. Liberty and individualism are our birthrights.

Refuse — ever — to surrender either.

The Lincoln Project - Just a Gaggle of Hucksters

Since its inception late last fall the circle jerk known as The Lincoln Project has raked in millions, but the bulk of the funds (about 90%) paid to enterprises owned by members or gets dispersed directly to them. This group should be known instead as the ‘’Hypocrisy Project’’, based on the facts showing that what they complain the loudest about.


Rick Wilson has been in the midst of a particularly glaring flameout. The man who loves vulgarly describing President Trump’s racism has been exposed as harboring confederate affections. His infamous Rebel Flag beer cooler has rendered that extension of his bile as now moot. But other contradictions have come to light. Wilson has been harping on Trump about his lack of tax return transparency, but that seems projection now. He currently has a massive tax lien on his home. On top of this, the man who enjoys mocking Trump over being broke is also saddled with credit card debt to the tune of tens of thousands. And Wilson is hardly the lone prevaricator.

Fellow member John Weaver, who hails from the dismal son of a mailman John Kasich campaign is especially noteworthy. As the Lincoln Project has not shied away from the disproven Russian collusion story it has just been revealed he was registered as a Russian agent in order to lobby on behalf of Russian interests. It was not a matter of digging into his past either; Weaver obtained this status last summer, long after all matters concerning Russia have been demonized for years. Weaver has also been on the frontlines of referring to Trump as a tax cheat and fraudster. And Weaver has also found himself sitting on a massive tax lien on his home as well. And just to cap it off Weaver has ironically slammed Trump over his failed business dealings. Well the NYPost has found that Weaver and his wife have a lawsuit leveled against them by a Texas mall owner over their clothing business.

Just to complete the trifecta we get the nasty pointy headed Steve Schmidt, who enjoys a preferred status at MSNBC for being a GOP political strategist, is found to be lacking in political heft. His residence is in the state of Utah, but that state has effectively delisted Schmidt from the voting rolls. He has become labeled as an ‘’Inactive voter’’ due to inactivity over the past 2 years, as well as failing to respond to communications looking to confirm his status.

The crowd of self-guilding political ‘’operatives’’ has been gradually exposed on the regular in recent weeks, and the latest has arrived via the New York Post by Reporter Ebony Bowden and her tasty expose’ on the various members of TLP, and most amusing is they are rather upset about it. How dare anyone resort to their own tactics!

The result of this recent piece has brought out the daggers from The Lincoln Project. Bowden has come forward after the release of the article to say that she has been on the receiving end of serious aggression from the members. This comedy showcase sounds like a film reviewer who can be particularly hostile towards certain movies, but then becomes incensed when anyone dares to disagree with their opinion. Only they are permitted to be harsh and nasty, but the moment anyone comes after them they turn ugly.

The funniest part, what has the members of The Lincoln Project most upset is not conjecture and accusations — it is the facts.

And there is the hilarity to be found in this grift. An outfit that pretends to be the true arbiters of conservatism subsists mostly on fawning coverage in the left-wing media, does work strictly in opposition to those on the right, has come out to endorse Joe Biden, and collects the vast majority of its funding from Democrat sympathizers. You have to admire that level of grifting. Getting rich off of doing hack work to line your pockets with the largesse of liberal hysterics…I am completely jealous for not coming up with such a blatant scam.

Are We Winning Yet Mommy?

Portland 1AM......The yellow shirt, linked arm local lesbians "Wall of Moms" pretending for media consumption to protect children from the Portland Law Enforcement, having gone home for a Marlboro and their Netflix, "Peaceful Protesters" try set fire to Federal Courthouse right in front of the mayor of Portland......

After a short round of pepper balls and teargas, mayor Ted, surrounded by an extremely hostile crowd toward he administration shits himself and blames you know who for the violence......
The media is not telling the whole truth about Portland, even to the point of down playing the fact there is well coordinated violence.  No major network is on site after sunset when BLM leaders whip up the crowd with anti-police rhetoric and violent escalation begins. But it all can be seen on various live-streams on site.

That Creepy Noise Coming From The Basement


I was reminded today that Joe Biden was still running for president.  Remember him?  A commuter train ridin' senator for pretty much his entire life, one who praised southern segregationist,  once used the word 'nigger' thirteen times in a committee meeting, wrote laws that made us the largest incarcerators of it's citizens in the world, then got picked to be the Obama Administrations Official Court Jester.  After that he bumbled his way through a series of circular firing squads debates with roughly 85 other would-be Democratic candidates until they all decided to drop out, the DNC gave him the 2020 nomination and he disappeared into a sunken safe-room.

Joe Biden is running probably the most unusual political campaign in modern American history, making videos in his basement that serve to remind us that he is still in fact seeking the office of commander-in-chief without Barky Obama's teleprompter skills and rivaling Al Sharpton linguistics expertise.  I'm not sure how much of it has to do with lockdown measures, which at most seem to be giving Biden's leftist handlers an excuse to push their own extreme ideas in his name.


In addition to pledging not to hold a single rally, Joe recently went three months without taking a single question from a member of the press.  The sanctimonious Dorks at the Lincoln Project have pointed out that Trump is the first president since Andrew Jackson not to own a dog. This is true. But Biden himself is also a throwback to the Age of Jackson by refusing to give public speeches or hold events, or do anything else that would give the general public the impression that he could actually handle the job of commander-in-chief. It is possible that, despite his recent protests to the contrary, he will even find an excuse not to debate Trump, as Tom Friedman and others have advised him. 

If you think about it, there is one remarkable thing about this strategy.  Like Hillary four years ago, Biden is making his opponent the focus of the election, with more or less total airtime from the media. Last time around it seems not to have occurred to anyone that at some point you have to make the case for why you are good alongside the stuff about the all-consuming badness of your opponent.

Back in early February it looked as if  DJT had emerged from three years of show-boating hearings and Democratic scandal mongering more or less unscathed, with record-low unemployment figures. But this is not the country we live in today.

According to our betters in the media, the vast majority of the American people would prefer something that seems like a return to normal. "Normal" here refers to a country in which more Americans died of drug overdoses each year than were killed during the war in Vietnam, continually rising Obamacare induced health-care costs, obesity, depression. This is true for the same reason that it does not matter that the atmosphere of chaos we have spent the last three and a half years reading about was largely a matter of media selectivity. (Ask yourself how CNN would have covered something like Fast and Furious if it had taken place during this administration, much less a tragedy like the one in Benghazi.) Under a Biden administration all of this would disappear.

It would no longer be assumed that it is unconstitutional for presidents to use leverage to secure desired foreign policy outcomes or that meeting with Russian leaders (as every American president has done for more than half a century) was treasonous. Deportations would continue and income inequality would rise. The news, though, would make for more wholesome reading again. And the Tweeter would suddenly revert back to the land of unfunny comedians and being simply what journalists do with most of their time and not the source of their reporting as well.

Sure I’ve lied about everything else, but this time I’m telling the truth......


......says the boy who cried collusion. 

Democrats and the media are currently on a kick that DJT will try to steal the upcoming election, and even if he loses won’t relinquish power. Meanwhile, the notorious liar Adam Schift is crying about a "disinformation campaign against democrats."

Adam Schiff bitching about disinformation is like Michael Moore complaining about obesity; it’s his most obvious flaw. The same man who lied for years about having proof of Russian collusion and created the entire false narrative behind the unsuccessful Presidential coup attempt is now crying that there is a foreign disinformation campaign against him and the democrats in Congress. Having exhausted all his other avenues of bullshit, Shifty is now lying about lying.

Schiff sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding he protect them against a thing they just made up:
"We write to request that the Federal Bureau of Investigation provide a defensive counterintelligence briefing to all members of the House of Representatives and the Senate regarding foreign efforts to interfere with the 2020 U.S. presidential election. 
We are gravely concerned, in particular, that Congress appears to be the target of a concerted foreign interference campaign, which seeks to launder and amplify disinformation in order to influence congressional activity, public debate, and the presidential election in November. 
Given the seriousness and specificity of these threats, as members of congressional leadership and the congressional intelligence committees we believe it is imperative that the FBI provide a classified defensive briefing to all Members of Congress and that the briefing draw on all-source intelligence information and analysis, consistent with due regard for the protection of sensitive intelligence sources and methods."
The letter was signed by Schiff, Nancy Peglosi, Chuck Schumer, and Mark Warner. It also demands that the FBI provide this briefing before the August recess or else.

First off, this looks like Schiff and company are demanding that the FBI pony up some information he can conjure up a interference/collusion twist and leak to the NYT and friends. It doesn’t have anything to do with foreign interference but rather, controlling the narrative. Democrats are the single biggest source of disinformation and the liberal media propaganda machine are the ones who force-feed the bullshit to the American public no questions ask.

Secondly, how the hell does Schiff know about this foreign disinformation campaign when apparently the U.S. Intelligence Services and the FBI don’t?  Yes, he’s the head of the House Intelligence Committee, but he gets information from the Intelligence Community.  This letter comes off like Schiff knows things that the FBI doesn’t, which means he’s once again trying to plant some kind of lie in the media undermine DJT and his administration.

Instead bowing to Schiff’s demand for a briefing on his make-believe foreign disinformation campaign, it would be nice if the FBI actually held Shifty accountable for the real disinformation campaign he’s been engaged in against a President for the last almost 4 years. This scumbag has lied about everything, sometimes under oath, and should be tossed in a federal pen.

Karen Demands the Use of Her Name as a Derogatory Meme be Stopped Immediately

A Middle Finger News Op-ed by.......Karen

OK, so I live in lovely Carmel Valley, so what. Maybe you saw Big Little Lies, set in nearby Monterey. Yeah, I have it pretty good. At least, I had it pretty good. Until this damn Karen meme came around.

My name is Karen.  I am not a privileged white female. I’m a self made real estate investor. Well, I did have a small loan of less than a million dollars from my parents to get me started in the business of owning fabulous real estate in and around Carmel Valley. Well, it wasn’t so much a loan as it was a trust fund. But do you have any idea what a pain in the ass these trusts are to deal with? Why couldn’t my parents have just given me the million dollars straight out? I don’t know, something about taxes, I guess.

Anyhow, the point is, I’m embarrassed to be called Karen now.

I mean, what does this meme signify — everything I hate: white supremacy, entitlement, and basic bitchiness. I am not that. I don’t think the white race is superior. Nor do I think I’m entitled to anything — except my name.

What gives these memists the right to appropriate my lovely name? Were real women named Karen consulted in this matter? Did anybody bother to inform us that we might want to file some papers for a name change as the shit is going to come down soon? That would have been nice to know.

Now every time I introduce myself to a client or a colleague, they get a strange look of condescension in their eyes. “Nice to meet you....Karen.” they say, emphasizing the “cunty” part of the word Kuh-aren. I guess that’s what the Karen meme really signifies, isn’t it — cuntiness? I happen to be one of the least cunty people you will ever meet, ladies and gentlemen. I do spiritual work at the yoga center in town. I chant. I went on a retreat once and didn’t speak for five whole days. I drive a Tesla. Alright, yes, it is the expensive one. But I’m doing my part to save the planet.

Why must my name be associated with cuntiness? And how long will this Karen meme last, do you think? I mean, memes don’t last forever. I remember one meme, about a decade ago — the Sad Keanu meme. Who remembers that any more?

I do not have the “can I speak to the manager” haircut.  Any more. I mean, it is uncanny that the predecessor to the Karen meme had a haircut fairly similar to my own: Yeah, it was pretty great, I have to admit. That haircut made me feel powerful.

But in the end, I decided to go for sexy over powerful. This is the haircut I have now:



That’s right, I’m not fucking around any more. Me and a bunch of other Karen’s are pretty pissed and we are going to start breaking things.

Hell yeah, I was around when punk rock was a thing. True, I was listening to disco but I got some Sex Pistol in me, bitches. You really want a few thousand angry Karen’s burning down your local Target?

Didn’t think so.

So how ‘bout you just cut it out with the Karen memes ‘kay? There are plenty of other cunty sounding middle-aged female names you can use. Trudy, for instance. That sounds pretty stuck up and middle-aged.  Or how about Nancy? Or Pam? Why does it have to be Karen? Huh? Alright, that’s it. I’m calling 911.

“Yes, my name is Karen and I’m being attacked by the internet! Can you please make it stop? Thank you!”

Alright, internet, the cops are coming to arrest you because I told them to. And they listen to me. Know why? Cause I am a Karen! That’s right, take back the word! I am a Karen, hell yeah! A Karen named Karen.

You got a problem with that?

Didn’t think so…

"When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead"

According to the Smithsonian NMAAHC, the scourge of white culture is defined by independence, rational thought, hard work, respect for authority and politeness.

[sarc]

NOTICE TO ALL THE COMRADES FROM THE MAAHC CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Your Block Captain and Friendly Neighborhood Rectification Committee will be visiting to make sure you have read the MAAHC instructions and to test you out by asking you to prove that your children do not have their own rooms, that you are not teaching them to be objective and engage in rational thought, that you urge them never to delay gratification. You may also be interrogated as to why you even have children, if you do, in any setting remotely resembling a "nuclear family." 
As to any of you who in your manner of speech show a tendency to "quantitative emphasis," the Committee may need to bring you in for further "reparative justice." 
Oh, and on that rule about how Respecting Authority is also a sign of White Culture, that does NOT apply to the Block Captain and the Friendly Neighborhood Rectification Committee. Don't say we didn't warn you.
[/sarc]

For the record, I consider it racist to assign the value of hard work to white people and leave black people on the other side (exactly where the traditional stereotype puts them). If you look closely at the Smithsonian project, it is probably one of the most racist, anti-black screeds that I have ever seen. The assumption when reading is that blacks are the reverse of all these characteristics.

That Trump Chick's 15 Minutes of Fame

excerpts from ANDREA PEYSER'S review in the NYP

Mary Trump introduces herself as a trained clinical psychologist, and does not hesitate to indulge in psychobabble to diagnose DJT's alleged mental disorders,  who’s presented as a cross between Hannibal Lecter and Bozo the Clown — a frightening and ridiculous figure who looms titanic over every aspect of Mary’s waking and sleeping life.

Her reason for telling the tale now is simple and urgent: Mary Trump believes, with the conviction of the Hillary Clinton supporter she was, that she must prevent her uncle’s re-election — by any means necessary. In 214 often bleak, raw and tear-jerking pages, she sets out to avenge the untimely death of her father, Frederick Christ Trump Jr., a chronic alcoholic known as Freddy.

As she tells it, Donald’s once-handsome and vital older brother, the guy bred to run the Trump family real-estate business, died broken and bitter, in 1981 at age 42. Mary Trump acknowledges reluctantly, Freddy Trump never wanted to work for Trump Management, and did everything in his power to escape, earning his pilot’s license, buying fishing boats and fancy cars, and attempting to live as something his grandfather sneeringly called a “chauffeur in the sky.’

But he lost his dream job as a TWA pilot, followed by losing a series of gigs because of decades of chronic alcoholism. His wife, Mary’s mother Linda, divorced him some time after he aimed a gun at her face while laughing uproariously.

Being a member of the Trump clan, even one who looks down on the means to the family fortune, brings with it loads of privilege, from holiday gatherings in the Queens mansion where Donald grew up with his kin, to family dinners at Peter Luger Steakhouse in Brooklyn, private educations, free health insurance and apartments in the outer boroughs of New York City.

Yet Mary’s complaints are varied and, at times, unintentionally hilarious: She moans that her dad had to pay rent to the company for his apartment (so why didn’t he move elsewhere?) and complains that his flat was kept at freezing temperatures. Plus, the building had no doorman. Horrors! 

After the death of her grandfather, Fred Trumps Sr. Mary and her son were essentially cut out of his will, leading to a court battle, the details undisclosed.

Still, she proceeded to accept her uncle’s invitation to the White House in 2017, where she was shocked to observe a partially eaten apple on a table in the Lincoln Bedroom. But if she ever learned the perpetrator of Applegate, she didn’t tell.

Perhaps the book’s title should be adjusted to reflect the reality that Donald Trump may be many things — brash, blustery, and, in the eyes of house guest Mary, disastrous for the country.

But dangerous to whom? It is Mary who is attempting to cash in by committing attempted character assassination against her own uncle, accusing him of everything from teaming up with his father to run her dad into the ground to making the unprovable claim that Donald hired someone to take the SAT’s for him.

All in all, Mary’s diagnosis of President Trump fails to persuade. But baring all her version of the family’s laundry may be therapy for her. 

Psychologist, heal thyself.

I Give the Horse About a 30% Chance of Surviving the Hood

“A” must be made to be “Not A.”

We the People are currently awash in insanity. Nothing makes sense. No one is behaving rationally. And it's because the Left is currently running things. They have been rapidly advancing, and almost no one is doing anything to stop them.

Thus we are currently living on the inner edge of the Left’s Anti-Reality. They're showing us how they wish the world to be, rather than how the world actually is. The Left’s Anti-Reality is a nauseating and infuriating place. The Left loathes Reality because it is antithetical to their perverse worldview.  Every night now their army of mouth breathers with their codswallop of fascist street tactics and mob intimidation, cultist chantings and racial propaganda rise up from their cramped dystopian studio apartments and take to the streets.

Nothing in which the Left believes works in Reality. Humans don’t naturally behave the way the Left thinks they should. Thoughtful humans make Reality, which is why the Left spent the 20th Century murdering a 100 million of us, trying to get us to comport to their way of (not) thinking. The Left can’t fit Reality’s square peg into their round hole. So lots and LOTS of hammering is attempted.

The Left is inherently totalitarian, because the Left has to be totalitarian because we humans won’t voluntarily comply. So all will have to be made to comply.  Sanity isn’t safe. History isn’t safe. No one or nothing normal is safe. “A” must be made to be “Not A.”

Another Nefarious Racial Conspiracy Intended to Break the Will of the Perpetually Victimized???

New York Times contributor David Kaufman wants us to know that he’s rendered distraught by “subtle streams of everyday racism that course through our homes, our workplaces, and the outside world.” An endless assault that “bombards people of color.” People such as himself. It is, we’re told, time for a “cultural reckoning.”
"For me, this reckoning begins with traffic signals. A few months back, before Covid-19 kept us in our homes and George Floyd made us take to the streets, I was walking with a friend, her daughter, and my twin sons. My friend is White and I’m not — something I’d never given a second thought until we reached a crosswalk. 
"Remember, honey," she said to her daughter as we waited for the light to turn green, "we need to wait for the little White man to appear before we can cross the street."
And in the very next breath:
I realize that White people like to exert control over nearly everything everyone does, I thought, but since when did this literally include trying to cross the street?  
As a Black dad, I was struck by the language at play. How is it possible that well into the 21st century, parents all over Manhattan, well-meaning #BLM-marching parents, are teaching their children to ask “little White men” for permission to cross the street? And why doesn’t this seem to bother them? It certainly bothered me.
It’s a bold leap. Dense with assumptions. The pedestrian crossing signal that so distresses Mr Kaufman, a rudimentary humanoid figure, made of white lights on a black background.  It’s now all very upsetting, at least for the exquisitely sensitive people finer than ourselves. And who write for the New York Times. Mr Kaufman then goes on an investigative journey, in which he learns why, in a society with lots of non-English speakers, crossing signals with words – walk / don’t walk – are being replaced by simple, universal graphics, calibrated to capture attention by using lights of a certain hue:
"It’s “lunar white,” according to the Federal Highway administration: a shade of white with yellow and grey accents that mimics the color of the moon. Lunar white wasn’t chosen because it sounds cool. According to FHWA research, the agency spokesperson says, moonlight offers "the peak sensitivity for the rod cells in the human retina."
But my heart still sinks at the specter of teaching my sons to ask a White man for permission to do anything. Because so much of the world already insists that we do....."  
All sounds quite sensible rather than a nefarious racial conspiracy intended to break the will of the negro. However, Mr Kaufman, for whom pretentious agonizing is the very stuff of life is not easily deterred.  Loaded and sweeping claims for which no evidence or explanation are deemed necessary, and which are nonetheless expected to command deference are it seems, a signature of Mr Kaufman’s prose. And presumably, his mental habits.
"Nonetheless, that little White man woke me up to the ways that language imparts power and privilege even upon the most banal necessities. And so, as I begin teaching my boys survival basics like riding a bike, waiting in line, and… yes… crossing the street, I’ll work hard to avoid phrases like "little White man."
Happily, Mr Kaufman devises a cunning alternative.
"White Light Person"....a bit of extra verbal labor is worth the price of not conceding our power to even one more little White man.
A triumph of sorts. An act of radical defiance against sensible pedestrian crossings.

Heavens, a button. I wonder what it does.

If this won't get you cancelled... well, it won't, so that shows you one more thing that's wrong with cancel culture.

Friday, July 10, 2020

Imagine being a Journalist at Teen Vogue and telling Salman Rushdie that he's wrong and censorship is good, actually.

On Tuesday, 153 prominent journalists, authors, and writers, including J. K. Rowling, Malcolm Gladwell, and David Brooks, published an open call for civility in Harper’s Magazine. It cause much weeping and gnashing of teeth by the authoritarian liberals and our self pointed betters.

So, today a rebuttal letter was issued. It's worth a read. It's soft skull SJW logic personified. A defense of censorship masquerading as free speech Orwellian style.  But I'll save you the trouble and quote the most important two sentences that sums up the letter.
“ Many signatories on our list noted their institutional affiliation but not their name, fearful of professional retaliation. It is a sad fact, and in part why we wrote the letter.”
So... ‘cancel culture’ isn’t real, but they’re afraid to sign their name on their childish diatribe for concerns of professional retaliation.

The letter and its signers (ironically the ones to scared to sign their names because of potential retribution) are arguing for a fundamentally different and mutually exclusive society than the first letter and its signers: the first advances a society that values free speech and open debate regardless of topic and how it makes others feel; the latter is a call for the continuation and advancement of cancel culture which embraces regimented and "safe" thinking at the expense of freedom.

If the first group had their way, everyone (including the second group) could say whatever they wanted without repercussion. If the second group had their way, the first group would no longer exist. 

What a profoundly dumb time we live in.

Is It Any Surprise He Can't Articulate His Positions? They're Not Really His


We've all seen them, clips that go viral.  Joe Biden trying to describe.... well, something. No one is entirely sure what. It seems he gets too far behind teleprompter, his already-rickety train of thought derailed, or his mouth out-runs it's supply line and he just gives up. Now, if this was the first or second time we’d seen this happen to creepy Joe, we’d probably all ignore it. But this is a constant problem. He simply can’t articulate any of his own positions.  Many people mockingly ascribe the issue to early symptoms of dementia. Maybe that’s true, maybe it’s not, but I think there's more to the equation.

Joe Biden can’t articulate his own positions because, let’s face it, they’re not really his in the first place. Word is his campaign has worked with Bernie's people to integrate far left ideas into the Biden platform, ideas he doesn't understand and some he vehemently debated against just months ago.

It’s a safe bet that in his personal life, Biden doesn’t really buy into any of the progressive baloney he’s been spewing lately. His radical left-wing handlers are spoon feeding him lines that he doesn’t understand and can’t keep in his head, so he has no idea how to articulate them.

Biden has been in politics for 50 years and in all that time, he’s never had a truly original idea. For 8 years he stood next to the guy with the power and ideas, just the acting Court Jester and saying stuff like “this is a big f***ing deal,” and yucks it up for the cameras. At best he’s been a yes-man. At worst he’s a puppet for people behind the scenes. The far left has him by the short hairs. 

The reader needs to keep in mind who he has surrounded himself with, starting with his campaign manager, Jennifer O'Malley Dillon. She's the former Campaign Head for the anti-capitalist, gun grabbing lunatic soy boy, Beto O'Rourke. All this begs the question: If Biden manages to eke out a win in November, who will really be president?

The Bubbling Up of Dissent by the Left From Beneath Their Fascist Cancel Culture

It's damaging to our country when people are forced from their jobs, their clubs or their associations with others because they express ideas that bother other people. I know there’s nothing in the law or the Constitution that prevents it from happening. I’m simply saying it’s a bad thing when it does happen, especially when we make it such a common event. The most damaging effect will be to make people fearful about expressing themselves at all. Fortunately, I harbor no such fear. 

A healthy society has no trouble dealing with the presence of extreme or even absurd ideas as part of the public discourse, because better ideas usually rise to win the day when there’s an open and honest debate. The problem with our present society-takes-care-of-it approach to speech punishing is that the loudest and most aggressive factions get to decide which speech is acceptable. And the political left, those who deny creating this present fascist style stifling atmosphere are getting nervous now that it has turned on them.

Today, Harper's Magazine printed a letter to be featured in a future issue that I found interesting, considering who signed it. This open letter on open debate is signed by a wide range of notable people (100) including, Gloria Steinem, CNN's Fareed Zakaria, Noam Chomsky, leftist scumbag Matthew Yglesias, David Brooks, my former teacher Wynton Marsalis, J.K. Rowling, Francis Fukuyama, and Salman Rushdie among other artist, journalist and scholarly elite.  It's an interesting read, even with the ridicules attempt to pin censorship on the right, and you may find the entire list of signatures surprising.

Fear of the mob or true concern?? You decide. Here's The Full TextA Sample below.
"The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted. While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more widely in our culture: an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty......" 
"Editors are fired for running controversial pieces; books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class; a researcher is fired for circulating a peer-reviewed academic study; and the heads of organizations are ousted for what are sometimes just clumsy mistakes. Whatever the arguments around each particular incident, the result has been to steadily narrow the boundaries of what can be said without the threat of reprisal. We are already paying the price in greater risk aversion among writers, artists, and journalists who fear for their livelihoods if they depart from the consensus, or even lack sufficient zeal in agreement......" 
"It is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought. More troubling still, institutional leaders, in a spirit of panicked damage control, are delivering hasty and disproportionate punishments instead of considered reforms......."
The left knows they have unleashed a monster. And the monster is driving the wagon.

Some of the most influential and important ideas in human history started out as radical, and out-of-the-mainstream. But because people were not afraid to express them, even in the face of sanction, they eventually changed history for the better. Is it no longer possible for that to happen because the Twitter mob won’t stand for it?

And do mainstream journalists really believe in free expression? Or do they really love limits on free expression, as long as they get to be the enforcers??

Fighting Racism & Inequality By Racially Discriminating


Tuesday July 7 has been designated as #BlackoutDay2020, a campaign in which oppressed black people and their melanin challenged progressive supporters are called to boycott all businesses as a show of solidarity for the racial justice movement.

The movement’s founder, a Texas hip-hop artist no one has heard of named Calvin Martyr, posted a YouTube Video about holding a blackout day that sparked the movement in May.  Martyr claimed that black people account for $1.2 trillion in annual spending, so withholding spending for a day will help “break free from the chains of financial servility.” (looks like someone's been reading a dictionary)  Instead of boycotting buses, the campaign aims to boycott business, holding a day where “not one black person in American spends a dollar.”

Oh.......but participants are allowed to spend money at black-owned businesses, though.

The movement’s website states: “we will organize days, weeks, months, and years if necessary” until “the system is broken and we have risen to power as a people.”

The movement, headed by the Blackout Coalition,  revealed exactly what they are fighting for: “Our ASK is that we stop being shot down in the streets. Our ASK is the cancerous ideology that this country was founded upon be rooted out.” No specific legislation or policies were cited. Typical "It's not my fault I fail".

Personally I don't have a problem with this. It means I can go to the grocery store and not have to listen to some 300 pound Shah-Na-Na yell at her kids, or have to navigate around two overweight divas smelling of a hot Louisiana summer, doing the loud black girl act and blocking the aisles with motorized shopping carts while they visit and the kids bust open a bag Doritos off the shelf. 

I'm really looking for a downside to all this. I don't see one.

Sex-crazed Monkeys Take Over Movie Theater and Setup HQ


No, while there could be parallels drawn we're not talking about Seattle or Portland, but Lobpuri Thailand, where amidst the covid lock-down the population have had to barricade themselves at home as thousands of monkeys take over the streets, monkeys who's aggressiveness making it extremely difficult for the humans of the town to move about in public.
"The randy primates have set up a HQ in a disused cinema, lashing out at anyone brave enough to try and drive them away. Unfortunately some residents first thought the best way of calming the overzealous monkeys down was to give them fast food – but this has just made the situation worse. Their new sugary diet and the lack of tourists because of the Covid-19 crisis has conspired to make life miserable for the people of Lopburi. 
The macaques are laying their dead to rest in a projection room as locals struggle to come up with a plan to reclaim the streets. Many have been forced to barricade themselves at home as the monkeys take over....."
I think it’s fairly clever of the monkeys to set up their own pseudo-city hall in an abandoned movie theater.  It shows they have more sense of the need for civil order than the anarchists and their street allied skateboarders & gay boy gamer live stream journalist and homeless junkies of the late CHAD, or CHOP, or whatever Seattle was calling it in it's last days. And the monkeys wouldn't even dream of setting a Wendy’s on fire. There’s too much food in there.

And like some 'protesters', shameless monkeys crap and have sex wherever they want, and don’t care.  But Hey. It’s their city.  They can do what they want. At least the monkeys don’t have the nerve to run the police off and then try to call 911 when they have a problem.

The monkeys in Lobpuri seem to have a more cohesive sense of community than we do here in America. Maybe it’s because they’re focused on only a few things, like screwing, eating and chasing cats whereas we spend an awful lot of our time arguing with each other about things that don’t even matter all that much.

Dem's Banking on America's Soft Skulls


Call this conspiratorial thinking if you want, but the whipsawing back and forth between COVID-19 hysteria and street rioting over exceedingly rare deaths of black criminal suspects while resisting arrest – while we’re being told that those “mostly peaceful” protests have no effect in spreading the virus – is something unprecedented in the history of American media, and while it would appear to defy explanation it certainly does not.

Might we remind our readers that this is an election year?

Let’s remember that 40 percent of the electorate thinks Biden might have dementia, which is not an impression Biden’s latest public appearance did much to dispel. Biden said that he’s taking “regular” cognitive tests, which isn’t something he’d have to do if people didn’t think he needed them.  It’s fair to say that a party saddled with this as its nominee would be interested in creating sub-normal circumstances by which to skew the electorate.

It’s July. The vast majority of Americans are nowhere near thinking about the election. But whatever media buzz there would be about the resiliency of the economy has been buried by talk of riots and mask mandates and assurances that riots have nothing to do with spreading the virus (though bellying up to a bar for a much-needed cocktail is a “super-spreader” event, dontchaknow). If you can’t see that these things are connected, and if you can’t see that the June jobs report is the precise thing the Democrats and their media allies have unleashed cultural mayhem on America to stifle in the public’s mind, then you are not paying attention.
