The Most Compelling Argument for the Oxford Comma I've Yet Seen.

I have been accused of not using, or improperly using commas in my post by insufferable Karens both male & female. For they are forgiven because they know not I was raised in the French language that we all know doesn't give a flying fuk about the King's English.  But, at least I was taught to use the comma before the “and” in a list…it’s just more clear that way. 👇 😂

Or Maybe They're Just Paranoid and Wrong About It All.

Felix Dzerzhinsky is remembered as the architect of the Soviet police state and intelligence services.  While totalitarians (and wanna-be totalitarians) invariably rule by fear and violence, Dzerzhinsky had the vision to go farther, to co-opt those opponents he could not find or destroy by direct means. He created an entirely false opposition underground (the “Trust”). Exiles and domestic opponents of the new Soviet regime thought they were working together in secret when in fact every word, every plan was known (and sometimes planted or directed) by Dzerzhinsky himself. The regime controlled its opposition.

Some have come to believe something like 'The Trust' is already operational in the USA. The permanent (actual) ruling authoritarians allow the appearance of opposition solely to let the masses think they have a say, to out potentially dangerous opponents, and to direct opposition energies into harmless activity that does not really interfere with the rulers.

The GOP presidential wins in the last 40 years have occasionally been bothersome but never a mortal threat to the rulers’ goals. The growth of government, the vision of technocratic rule, and the ideal of an unaccountable elite move forward regardless of electoral outcomes.

One recent glimpse at ‘that man behind the curtain’ is that “experts” who endorse broad government action on climate or COVID suffer no consequences for being spectacularly and harmfully wrong nor for viciously squelching the real scientists. No “journalists” who reached embarrassing depths of sycophancy with the obviously bogus Steele dossier, the very real Hunter Biden laptop, and the absurdly mendacious St. Anthony Fauci have been fired for professional incompetence. Some got Pulitzers.

The rulers endorse infanticide rather than some 14- or 15-week limit on abortion, not out of some airy notion of women’s rights (which easily disappeared when transgender became au courant), but solely to make the point that traditional values and morality cannot be allowed to intrude on policymaking. The rulers’ hostility to the first two amendments in the Bill of Rights is not just to silence and disarm opponents but to establish the idea that there are no inherent rights, only permissions, and privileges issued by the state.

The ruling party actively cheered the 2016 nomination of DJT on the theory he would be the most beatable. That he actually won was a significant but temporary setback for the rulers. Like some primitive life form responding to a painful stimulus, the permanent party not only successfully reorganized its front group as the anti-Trump party, but its media has conditioned American suburbanites to viscerally reject the MAGA caricature (depressingly often with help from Donald Trump himself).

All other issues about policy or candidate quality have been pushed aside. There is only anti-MAGA. In the new political order, voters will be able (a) to endorse the rulers by voting Democratic, (b) vote for more conventional Republican candidates who will pretend or fail to oppose the rulers, or (c) vent with pre-selected MAGA candidates who will increasingly have no real chance (especially given the dubious new voting systems in place). Our rulers thus magnanimously let us feel good about our wide menu of futile choices. Some Democrats will even be allowed to criticize members of the ultra-wealthy Davoisie in a bit of old-time social justice theater.

Our political debates and labels are deliberately distorted such that “the right” (or what passes for it) is somehow close to fascism, whereas “the left” is seen to be motivated by the nobler residue of good intentions behind socialism. In fact, fascism is just another path for totalitarians when economic class warfare is politically ineffective.

The inexorable blob of media, academia, bureaucracy, and low-IQ groupthink seems like some destructive volcanic sludge rolling downhill to wipe out the real and the free, a threat organized and unleashed by some crazed evil committee of Bond villains. 

Or maybe they're just paranoid and wrong about all this.

The Lincoln Project Continues Habit of Stepping on Rakes

Yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill effectively banning confused men who think they are women from competing in women’s sports in the state of Florida.  As expected, DeSantis’ signing the law on first day of the “Pride Month” triggered the Usual Suspects, including the unhinged fanatics at the ironically named Human Rights Campaign, which is as strong an indicator as there can be that DeSantis absolutely did the right thing.

During the signing ceremony of a law that very well may effect her own life in the future, the governor’s young daughter Madison was next to him and handing him the pens with which to sign the bill: 

For reasons only known to him, Lincoln Project's Stuart Stevens, one of the more outfront members of the scummy group thought it’d be a good idea to use DeSantis’ daughter as a weapon with which to attack the popular Governor:

"I wonder when this girl grows up, how she’ll feel about being used as a prop in selling a piece of legislation that hurt people she is likely to go to school with, work with, go to church with. Using kids to sell hate for political gain is a favorite @GovRonDeSantis move."

That a member of a group that turned a blind eye for months as allegations swirled around them of predatory grooming behavior towards young men were being made against Lincoln Project would feign he cares for the young daughter of a governor he despises solely because of his political alliance with DJT was not lost on the politically aware who took to the tweeter to absolutely burn his ass for his lack of self-awareness and audacity.

When you’re scared of @GovRonDeSantis so you go after his kid instead...🙄

I wonder when any children of this guy grows up and how they'll feel about their dad being part of an organization that knew about and covered up that a child predator was in its inner circle. https://t.co/dkrnbQRAK2

She’s a child, and Stevens and his colleagues at the Lincoln Pervert League should do the right thing and respect that instead of projecting their obvious inadequacies onto Gov. DeSantis. But then again, we know respecting underage kids (and women, for that matter) is not the Lincoln Project’s strong suit, so we shouldn’t really expect any better from this clown or his motley troupe of corrupt prevs.

It's Now Racist to Blame Bad Chinese Food Practices for the Coronavirus virus.

I know not the source of the next extinction-level pandemic. I know only this: White people will not be allowed to discuss it because when the truly apocalyptic plague hits, it’ll be because someone in the nonwhite world ate a civet dick or an exotic pustule marinade. And the disease will be seen as the lesser of two evils compared with the racist white folks trying to contain it. There’ll be no way to fight the epidemic without passing judgment on the behavior or customs of nonwhites, and there’ll be no way to contain it without quarantining at least a few people of color. So we’ll all just die.

POC immunity from criticism increases everyone else’s susceptibility to death. To be sure, the Wuhan coronavirus isn’t going to end the world, but some of the response to it anticipates what eventually might. Take a look at this condescending, lisping queen.

That’s Greg Brown, host of the ASAP Science YouTube channel (with 9 million subscribers). Brown, an openly gay (as if this mincing alpha diaperman could be anything but) science blogger who, based on this video, has a woman standing behind him playing the “helping hands” improv game, cautions us not to talk about the coronavirus in a way that might “stigmatize” the Chinese. 

He tells us to ignore the history of similar viruses that have emanated from Chinese “fyood” practices, and he lectures us about how Western “fyood” culture is just as bad.  When the next extinction-level pandemic occurs, it’ll be the Greg Browns of the world who kill us. There’s never been a virus or bacillus that can’t be avoided; even contagions that can’t be cured can still be dodged. The soft skulled Greg Browns of the world will weaken and subvert that last line of defense.

And then there’s James Palmer at Foreign Affairs. Palmer blames “macho” toxic masculinity for the coronavirus outbreak while defending dog eating because whites eat pigs. He ends by admitting that yes, Chinese uncleanliness and dangerous food practices are to blame for the coronavirus, but so what because American food production was unclean in 1910, so we have no right to criticize China in 2020.

The belief that people need to be protected from “bad ideas” that they can “catch” through books, websites, posts, and tweets; the notion that a “dangerous” idea is essentially a contagious brain disease. A few days ago, NPR literally said that “racist ideas” are the “real contagion,” not the virus, and what’s important is not so much to track the disease, but to “track the reaction to it.”

Don’t close the Chinese “wet markets.” Instead, shut down the Twitter accounts that criticize them.

As I said, this is what’ll kill us when the “big one” hits. We’ll know where the disease comes from, and even if we don’t know how to cure it, we’ll know how to quarantine it. And genocidal leftist lunatics like Greg Brown and James Palmer will see to it that we can’t.

Morbid Obesity Is a Great Way for Black People to Combat White Supremacy??

Weaponizing Obesity & Stupidity. This may be the stupidest thing I've read in a long time, a descent into Toxic SJW Propaganda and General Lunacy from a publication that use to teach young girls how to apply mascara without looking like Alice Cooper, and give advice on how to keep 'Him' from getting to second base. People with no morals and little intelligence have taken over and infected the media in all it's aspects from digital to print and advertising pointed at the young.

Case In Point:

"Fat is a descriptor in the same way that black and queer are descriptors. And fat is somewhat similar to black and queer in more than just that way; it's also a word that encompasses a marginalized identity. For me, fat is a way of saying "f*ck you."

Fat stigma is also tied to anti-blackness, in that being black is the abundance that white supremacy seeks to shrink. It's the negative stereotypes created by white supremacy that reinforce the idea that we are naturally fat, and with that many of the negative associations tied to the word today.

The more we call ourselves fat, and the more we realize that it's not bad to be fat, the more we're tearing down walls built by racism."

The fat acceptance freaks want to remove the racist stigma of being obese by pretending that it’s a perfectly healthy lifestyle choice because black people are suppose to be fat......because of a little figurine in a museum. Fightin' racism one chitlin' at a time.

If not wanting to die of obesity-related conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer that are some of the leading causes of preventable, premature death somehow makes you a white supremacist in the minds of those smelly fat black divas you see waddling around everywhere, then sign me up.
