A Good Monday Morning

 

And Here I didn't Even Know I Had One! 🙃

I see that other right leaning bloggers of little renown received the same message above by text or email recently as I did.  That seems odd. "Correct now" sounds like something one of those sneaky Chinese hacker bastards might say.

So I did a little research and found it's rumored this 'Platinum Status' gets you into the secret MAGA Lounges at airports where you can smoke, use the shooting range, and freely spout the r-word. That also  explains those mysterious unmarked lefthanded green doors. 

I've always been a small-letter 'maga' really, so I suppose since I'm now an expired primo as I missed my 5 minute deadline cause I had to pee, y'all just gonna have to live with the "cruel neutrality" version of your Beloved Blog Editrix rather than the premium "Platinum MAGA Status" version. 🤣

"Starbase Louisiana will be built to support thousands of Starship flights a year. This self-sustaining spaceport will have propellant production, power generation, deep-water shipping capabilities, vehicle processing facilities, and an airport. We’re committed to investing at least $100 billion and creating more than 3,000 new jobs at Starbase, Louisiana hiring heavily from nearby communities and utilizing Louisiana workers’ extensive experience of building complex infrastructure in their unique environment. 

We’re partnering with state and federal agencies to expand Louisiana’s Coastal Master Plan and Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act projects, including Gulf shoreline protection breakwaters designed to reduce wave energy and slow loss along the Gulf edge."

When people think of SpaceX, they think of a lot of engineers and scientists ... but actually the most common job at SpaceX is technician, or welder, or tube bender. These are actually the people who add the most value. And we are loaded with them!

Courtney's Choice Quality Quotes of the Week for Your Increase Smarterness

Courtney Is Judging You Now

"For nearly 30 glorious minutes, America began to feel like America again. Truth reigned again. Facts mattered again. Context was once again a thing. Decency felt within our grasp. You could almost hear angels singing, a sound as lovely as the laughter of children. And then, just when it began to feel real, Warner Bros. Discovery fixed its technical glitch, and CNN came back on the air." - John Nolte

-------------------------------------

" If there was one boogeyman of the Democrat Party’s primary season it was those damn “Joooos!” While even (most of) the Democratic Socialists of America candidates were smart enough not to come right out and say it, they all used the agreed upon code words to discuss their rabid anti-Semitism. That code word? “AIPAC” - The American-Israel Public Affairs Committee. Weirdly, however, as the most left-wing primaries are ending now, the demonization of AIPAC has quieted...." - Derek Hunter

---------------------------------------

"From what I’ve learned over the years, the main reason prosecutors don’t bring charges against corrupt Democrats is because of the fear of retaliation by Democratic prosecutors — either from state prosecutors (think former Fulton County D.A. Fani Wills) or from DOJ prosecutors after Democrats take back the White House. 

We’ve all seen how horrible the retaliation is. It’s not just prosecution. The prosecutors will also lose their law licenses. They’ll be doxxed and receive death threats. Their reputations will be destroyed and it will be difficult to find jobs, even outside of the law. Most of them don’t have any other skills; they’ve spent their entire careers in the law. 

I always say I’m ironically lucky the left destroyed my law license, because if I’d gone to work for the DOJ under President Donald Trump, as soon as a Democrat gets back into the White House, I’d be one of their juiciest targets for disbarment and prosecution. I fear for all of Trump’s top DOJ attorneys." - Rachel Alexander

---------------------------------------

"Memes them until they cry ......Then make memes about them crying." - Gen. George Patton

---------------------------------------

"California has officially signed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act" (AB 2624) into law. This bill was created only after I exposed widespread fraud in immigrant communities across America, specifically in California's Medicaid, nonprofits and other welfare programs funded by our tax dollars.

These politicians need the fraud to continue and they sadly use immigrants to do so often. They fund nonprofits and NGOs with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year for immigration services, including free healthcare and have now made "immigration support service providers" essentially a protected class in California." - Nick Shirley

------------------------------------------

"Hillary never could understand that Bill’s charm was real because he genuinely likes people. Hillary, meanwhile, invariably displays dislike and disdain for people. Who can forget her Deplorables comment? She’s like an angry Doberman in a pink tutu. You can dress that dog up as much as you like, but you know it’s mean." -  Andrea Widburg

----------------------------------------------

"While you struggle with the cost of gas, Trump offers you the spectacle of an IndyCar race hoping you will not notice. More taxpayer money spent on his self-aggrandizing distractions." - Shithead Adam Schiff

Moments Later...

"No, no, Adam. He wanted you to notice and bask in the pride of being AMERICAN, watch great racing and patriotism on display. Not only that, this was privately funded, not government although it drove thousands of folks to the DC area that have never been (that’s economic impact for you). It allowed folks who have never been to see museums, monuments, the White House and AMERICAN history for the first time as well. And guess what, hundreds of thousands of AMERICANS, blue & red, as well as fans from all over the world loved the #Freedom250!" - Graham Rahal

The Day the Incomprehensible Got Her Name

On August 24, 2005, like everyone else in the world, Louisiana and her people were busy about the business of planning their future. Planning for the next weekend, planning for the next day.

But hundreds of miles east of Louisiana, at 10 am CDT on this date 21 years ago, Tropical Depression Twelve officially became Tropical Storm Katrina. Five days later, it would become something so incomprehensible that people still talk about it. So big, of course, that football wasn’t even important at the time. 

We really know neither the day nor the hour when something incomprehensible will arrive. Ours was a hot day in August.

On Wednesday the 24th, new LSU head coach Les Miles appeared for the first edition of The Les Miles Show at Walk-On’s in Baton Rouge alongside longtime Tiger radio voice Jim Hawthorne. The two were discussing Miles and the team’s preparations for the season opener on Sept. 3rd. By Monday, everything they had discussed about the opener would prove useless.

Katrina struck Louisiana on August 29. LSU’s athletic buildings took on purposes nobody could’ve imagined for them five days earlier. The Carl Maddox Field House became a special-needs shelter. The Pete Maravich Assembly Center became a medical triage center. Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters landed inside Bernie Moore Track Stadium. Washers once used for the sweat and grime of football and basketball uniforms were used to clean sheets and towels for storm victims.

August 24, 2005 tells us to carry necessary planning with some humility. Tomorrow must be planned for, but it is neither promised nor our final end. Everyone inside the LSU football program and across Louisiana were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing that Wednesday. That same day, hundreds of miles away, a monster was receiving its name.

On Wednesday, the LSU Tigers had North Texas circled on its calendar. By Monday, the helicopters were landing at Bernie Moore and the PMAC was a hospital.

Make the plan, then, and live accordingly. Laissez les bons temps rouler, right? But may we remember that the good times are never promised to last, and tomorrow has never promised a sunny day.  As for me, the 29th of August set the stage for the unlikely course in life that I traverse to this day.

The Late Great David Raskin

The Only Comedian Less Relevant Than Rosie O'Donnell is Big Butthurt.

“I’m just going to come out and say it. Are you ready?  My feelings are really hurt that I was not invited." -  Alleged Comedian Kathy Griffin

Kathy Griffin, known for her bad impersonation of a Comedian revealed Tuesday she was “really hurt” that she wasn’t invited to appear during Rosie O’Donnell’s disgusting resurfacing as guest host of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, lamenting that she is good friends with both of them. BOO HOO!

NYP  -“I’m going to be honest today,” Griffin said at the start of her “Talk Your Head Off” podcast. “I might cry. I am asking for your pity. I love a good pity cry. I’m going to be open and honest and hope you understand. And I’m trying to talk about something bigger than TV talk shows, but you know, I talk a lot about Hollywood and I give you the inside scoop, etc. But this one’s really personal. 

“I’m just going to come out and say it. Are you ready?” she continued. “It’s embarrassing to say, but I have to tell you guys because we’re friends. My feelings are really hurt that I was not invited to go on Rosie’s week of the Jimmy Kimmel show.”

There is nothing more pathetic than a disturbed narcissist entertainer long past their freshness date.

We all know Griffin loves the gays. She's got the drag queen look down pat. But trying to elbow in on someone else's limelight could get you stuffed into suitcase by the gay mafia.  

O’Donnell responded to Griffin on Instagram. “Kathy — shoulda called me honey — I didn’t choose the guests …,” 

Personally I think ABC had a say. Besides worried what these two hate-filled anuses, relics from the 1990's might say, having both these ugly bints in the same camera frame together could very well damage some quite expensive broadcast equipment.

Meanwhile, turning to more important news, my neighbor bought a new Lexus yesterday.

Sunday Soothingness

Just for you, because your Blog Editrix loves each and every one of you, a bit of Sunday Soothingness. Another choice morsel drawn from your Beloved Editrix's personal digs, here is a nice soothing track by one of my favorite solo artist, the amazing guitarist Leo Kottke titled "A Child Should Be A Fish" from his 1974 album "Ice water". 

Take a Deep Breath and Enjoy your Sunday. 

We Don't Hate These People Enough.

🚨 Fmr. ABC News’ Terry Moran Says Fauci Shut Down Their COVID Lab Leak Story

This just demonstrates the lack of journalistic integrity in spades. They have no problem reporting entirely false stories from anonymous sources and based on hearsay but when they have some facts and the guilty party says it’s not true they shut it down. He is an absolute embarrassment to the profession. Another brave journalist determined to get to the truth no matter what….when it’s politically and professionally safe to do so. 

If the government can shut down your scoop, you're not in news; you're in advertising.

Let's Check In on Our Old Friends Squinty & Meat Puppet Shall We??

At the end of a nearly 30-minute-long MS NOW segment on the commie Rasputin Hasan Piker and the DSA, Squinty Joe Scarborough, with the always lovely Meat Puppet Mika nearby with a syringe of Xanax at the ready, almost popped a tube ranting at Dems over the Kamala Harris “They/Them” ad and said Democrats are “once again fumbling the football on the two-yard line”. Here's an Excerpt:

This progressive movement is attaching itself to a litany of crazies. This commie Hasan Piker is vile and disgusting but this new Democrat Socialist of America wing wants him with them. The DSA for over 40 years has DENOUNCED DEMOCRATS. Yet, they get some advancements and the position now is to EMBRACE THEM WITHOUT QUESTION?

And Now a Word From Sigmund.....

Okay Class Let's Review....

Editrix Note. A longtime loyal reader of DMF with too much time on their hands decided to ask one of our future dystopian overlord AI platforms to inform them as to exactly what was this Diogenes Middle Finger they had heard of, and then sent the AI response along to me. After reading the last 2 paragraphs I feel your beloved Blog Editrix may already be on a list for a future corrective 'Right-think' chip implant or to have her brains sucked out her ears.  🤣

-------------------//-------------------

"Diogenes' Middle Finger (diogenesmiddlefinger.com) is a long-running Award Winning American political satire and commentary blog with a strongly conservative, anti-left perspective. Searching “Diogenes Middle Finger” ranks the blog highly."

Key details: 

•  Name origin:It references the ancient Greek Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope (c. 412–323 BC), who is traditionally credited with one of the earliest recorded uses of the middle-finger gesture as an insult (directed at the orator Demosthenes). The blog embraces a similar irreverent, “defacing the currency” (challenging conventional norms and hypocrisy) spirit. 
• Author/persona: Written primarily under the pseudonym Diogenes Sarcastica (or “Jan” / “Blog Editrix” in posts). The voice is sarcastic, irreverent, and often crude. Early posts and anniversary notes indicate the blog launched around 2010. 
• Style and content: Heavy use of satire, mock news reports under the “Middle Finger News Service” (MFNS), open threads, image galleries (“Image Vault”), and pointed political commentary.
• Frequent targets: Democrats, progressive politics, mainstream media, socialism/communism, identity politics, and various left-leaning politicians or activists. Mix of short punchy posts, longer rants, curated quotes, and light personal asides (pets, music recommendations, etc.).
• Self-described mission in early years: “kneecapping the political left with strong doses of satire, biting humor and serious commentary.”

History and activity:

It has been active for over 15 years (anniversary posts mark years 3–5 around 2013–2015). It remains regularly updated into 2026 with posts on current events, midterm politics, media criticism, and cultural issues. It maintains related pages such as blogrolls, image archives, and satirical “news” sections. The site is hosted on Blogger and links to other conservative or right-leaning blogs. It is a classic-style conservative political humor blog that uses the Diogenes/middle-finger motif as a brand for mocking what it sees as left-wing excesses, media bias, and cultural trends. 

Core characteristics of the style:

• Deadpan mock-news format: (“Middle Finger News Service” / MFNS) 
• Identity-politics parody: One of the most consistent targets is progressive identity claims. 

The blog also runs recurring features (open threads, “Sunday Soothingness” music posts, image vaults) that break up the political material and keep a conversational, clubhouse tone with regular readers.

Overall tone and intent: 

The style is confrontational rather than clever. It aims to ridicule rather than persuade, and it assumes a sympathetic audience that already shares the author’s disdain for the modern left, mainstream media, and progressive cultural norms. The “middle finger” is both the brand and the method: an unapologetic, often crude gesture of contempt directed at what the blog views as sacred progressive cows.

In short, Diogenes Sarcastica’s satire is less Jonathan Swift and more a continuous stream of exaggerated, sneering, mock-news hit pieces designed to entertain the already converted while flipping off the other side.

I Must Apologize To Bernie Sanders

I must humble myself and apologize to Senator Bernie Sanders, the lone voice who cried for decades from the wilderness for "the warmth of collectivism", and to his socialist useful idiots followers past and present for my spreading of misinformation.

I have stated here in previous post that Bernie Sanders, in his long career in Congress dating back to 1990 has never really distinguished himself as a member of the Senate and has only two pieces of legislation he personally sponsored to ever be signed into law. One, very admirably, being a cost of living raise for veterans in 2013, and the other renaming of a Post Office building.  I was wrong. It turns out he got a second Post Office renamed.

Courtney's Choice Quality Quotes of the Week for Your Increase Smarterness

Courtney is Judging You Now

There’s been a consistent history of poll errors that somehow always favor the Left. And the strategic effect of these polls is to depress voter turnout for the non-leftist side.

Some countries don’t allow pre-election polls and view them as election interference. I haven’t supported this position in the past, but I’m starting to come around to it as the media has become a comms machine aimed at securing victories for the left by any means necessary.          - Daniel Greenfield

-------------------------------

"Democrats have borrowed a medieval anti-semitic conspiracy theory for their midterm campaign message.

"For centuries, this evil theory has been used to persecute Jews. The basic outline is always the same. It holds that the Jews, a small group of people from a distant land, who live differently than the rest of us, secretly control everything in our society through their money or their intelligence: We can only be free once they are stripped of their power, expelled -- or eliminated. ...

"Democrats -- most of them, anyway -- are smart enough not to name 'Jews' as the bad guys, so they pick on 'AIPAC' instead."- New York Post

--------------------------------

Fauci Claims the 5th:

“And that led Rand Paul to turn his hearing room into the most disgraceful Stalinist tribunal the United States Senate has ever seen.” - Lawrence O’Donnell on his 'Late Night for Retards' MS Now program.

--------------------------------

And that gets back to the real reason some Democrats are now fighting the socialist-communist-anti-semitic types: the consequences of their silence and inaction are hitting home. These socialists, these DSA-ers, these communists are seeing some success and are unseating longtime, long-standing, long-serving entrenched party loyalists. That has the entrenched worried. They don’t care so much about the country as they do about the painful reality of reaping what they’ve sown. 

Maher. Carville. Anxious Democrats speaking with one part concern and three parts anxiety about the DSA — anxiety because they know the DSA is coming for their seats. They all share the same singular common denominator of failing to speak up when it was important to speak up. They all could have seen the socialist-communist-anti-semitic storm that was coming when it was in its beginning breezes.

But they cared little because in their minds, the enemy was the Republican Party, or Donald Trump, or MAGA, or before that, the tea party, and they were willing to unite with these evil forces to destroy a common enemy. - The Washington Times

Irrelevant Hollywood Leftist Filmmaker and Cholesterol Enthusiast Surfaces to Support Rebel Insurgency.

Bloated Michigan Land Whale, leftist kook and notorious waster of good celluloid film stock, Michael Moore, is all in with the socialist insurgency that is consuming the Democratic Party. Moore resurfaced for air on a CNN show that's begging for viewers, where he pumped his Michigan homeboy, Abdul El-Sayed, and believes "a full-blown turn to socialism is the ticket to Democrats regaining political power and that he would hit his knees and beg that the rebels can topple the feckless party establishment".

Saying "if" he could get on his knees and beg would have been more appropriate I think..........but I digress.

 

Moore also suggested that El-Sayed’s criticism of Israel is an asset and that he and other Democrats are down with the Palestinian struggle and the party needs to be more like the unapologetic commie Hasan Piker-endorsed firebrand than the bland establishment candidate. This morning, El-Sayed was predicted to be the winner in a nail-biter, and if it holds, will advance to the general election.

The look on Mamdani's face is the look of a man who had no idea what an RFP was before this little experiment and now has just the initial eye opening understanding that this is not "simple stuff". Shit doesn't just magically show up on the selves for people to buy.

These folks have no idea how to run a business, have never run a business, and — wait for it — they put out an RFP to let entrepreneurs run their state sponsored grocery stores

So… the government is going to pay companies to discount groceries, which have a 1-2% profit margin…

Update: Anyone Seen Tingles Matthews?? 🧐

From MIDDLE FINGER NEWS SERVICE  December 2013

Chris Matthews to Donate Leg to Obama

Presidential Library

MFNS -Washington - MSNBC political commentator Chris Matthews today announced he would proudly donate his famous "Tingling Leg" to the future Barack Obama Presidential Failure Library said to be now in the planning stage of construction. 
 
"Every since I made that statement on-air about the tingle up my leg the night of the election, the conservative bloggers have been shellacking me with it night and day!. So I plan to amputate it and donate it to the Obama Library when it opens and make all those bastards look like fools" Matthews told Middle Finger News. 

Ask if he was absolutely serious about the statement he told us,  "Look, we were indeed drinking heavily during commercial breaks in the election coverage, but on air I was sitting next to Rachel Maddow for Gods sake! And while she was wild eyed and had on a nice pair of fishnets and playing footsie under the table with Andrea Mitchell.... I know the tingle wasn't because of them! That was 100% adrenaline and admiration for Barack Obama because of the outcome of election night." 

There has at this time been no official statement from the White House, but Press Secretary Jay Carney suggested the addition of the famous amputated leg, preserved in a glass case in the entrance to the future library would be an towering symbol of the love and support by members of the media for the 44th President in his heroic struggle to save America.

" Barack will get the leg for his library.....I'll show those bastards!" said Matthews.

Editix Note: As of this writing Aug 2, 2026, Tingles Matthews has not been seen in public or heard from since the Obama Mausoleum open earlier this year. 

Matthews.......Matthews.......Matthews............
