That Time John Kerry Had His Fill of DMF/Middle Finger News Service and His Cheese Slipped Off His Cracker

Since Joe Biden has chosen to grace us again with the always effervescent public presence of one of our favorite kickballs, none other than the Earl of Ketchup, John Kerry, we decided to open the dank archives of DMF and drag out into the light some of our favorite John F. Kerry post from the long ago Barky Obama years. Good Times. Good Times.
 


MFNS - Secretary of State John F. Kerry (he fought in Vietnam you know) has called out 'Middle Finger News Service' as a pitiful Unamerican / Uncosmopolitan “satire” outlet and threatened humanitarian annihilation, if we do not shape up.

Below is a partial transcript of his remarks at the "Societe De Douchebag Internationale" convention yesterday, and I promise you, sh*t  getting real.....

"The illegitimate 'Middle Finger News' editorial regime and its vicious hack collaborators, for too long, have defied the wrath of the International Community.   These despicable hooligans truly are “Sinners in the Hand of an Angry Military-Industrial Complex,” and its about time they started to show accountably for their venomous use of free speech and abuse of the people's Internet. 
Their crimes against breadsticks are simply intolerable. It is over 72 hours since either a new post or even a meager, petty, individual comment on MFNS has mentioned the Olive Garden fiasco. How much longer does Our Common Humanity have to wait?"
Furthermore..... 
"I know not with what weapons President Assad has fought with, because we haven't had a chance to think about this one yet. But what I do know is that our war of eternally compassionate and brutally sympathetic attrition with the bitter, hard-boiled Middle Finger News dogmatists and ideological fanatics will be fought with… um, Syrian cooking pots.”
"You know who said that? Yes, that’s right.
No, not Assad, he’s kind of our second-best frenemy right now. I mean, it's getting to the point where he needs us more than we need him. Unacceptable. But kinda acceptable too.  Or is it?
No, not that Indian guy. No, not Einstein either. Someone a bit closer to home. A great man of peace.  I Thought it was pretty obvious who is the Great Emancipator and Man of Eternal Pacific Justice in our time.
Anyway… I've told you what's what, and who our enemies are for the time being…Until we decide (or at least do not decide) otherwise, in light of the purely value free and objective given constraints and opportunities. 
You know, I really hate these guys. Just ‘cos.  Well, that's enough, right?  Well, maybe.
Still, the other side of this dilemma, which is equally important, and of equal strategic importance to us all, is that Middle Finger News Service is an eternally radiant beacon of Voltairean irony and satire, carrying the eternal flame of Paine and Jefferson across all the boundless, blooming spaces of the information superhighway…...the sole and sufficient hope in which all meager, starved, and sore thirst seekers of satire may put their trust; and ever abide in the tender bowels of humor, the greatest gift among gods and people.
No, shut up!
No, don’t worry, that was technically a malapropism, not a flip-flop as such. Well, I guess it depends on how you look at it.  Nope! Sorry! You're not having that one. No woolly compromises. 
This time. No, no, no! This time, it's gotta be one or the other."

And then it got weird.

I was… let’s say, I was in agreement with half of what Kerry said.
Well?  
Work it out for yourself.

The Cancerous Left's Racial Bigotry and Fake Righteous Indignation Marches On


Just Days after the San Francisco Unified School District board (SFUSD) moved to rename 44 schools, including those named after Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Jefferson, because their namesakes were "inappropriate",  the School District's art program decided to drop its former name, "VAPA," because.............."acronyms are a symptom of white supremacy culture." I shit you not.

As reported in the WFB, according to district art department director Sam Bass, the acronym, which stood for "visual and performing arts," could "alienate" non-native English speakers. Alienate???

The decision to change the art department's name was one of a handful of so called feel good antiracist measures the district voted to implement. The art department is working to prioritize "antiracist arts instruction." San Francisco school board president Gabriela López said the board is "committed" to dismantling "symbols of racism and White supremacy culture."

I spent most of my morning coffee time trying to rationalize this decision by the SFUSD to no avail. With two degrees in Music and having spent many hour in "visual and performing arts' departments in various schools of higher learning with students from around the world, I'm puzzled by how art of any kind, much less an acronym for a art curriculum could be offensive. My only conclusion is that this is nothing more but than continuing minority leftist anti-white bigotry parading as cultural enrichment. More bluntly, a cancerous pustule on America.

NBC Censors All Mentions of Andrew Cuomo's Complicity in Nursing Home Deaths


Now that the New York Times signaled open season on 'Cuomo the Elder', how many more media outlets will suddenly discover how badly the media star “Love Gov” has handled the COVID-19 response? CNN may not be the only media outlet having to account for its brown-nosing coverage of Cuomo, although they certainly have much to explain.

Via tedious gasbag, reported by Fox News, a women named Dawn Best who lost her father to Cuomo's murderous policies kept finding that any mention of Cuomo was cut out of the interviews she did for the media. She says she began mentioning Andrew Cuomo in every sentence so that they couldn't cut out references to him in editing. So, then they straight-up told her not to blame Andrew Cuomo, but to blame "New York State," if she felt obligated to blame anyone. And she says it wasn't just NBC -- other propaganda mills also covered up for the Democrats.

She also says that Cuomo -- I mean, "New York State" -- has forged the death count for the nursing homes beyond that what is already reported. They rigged the numbers this way: if someone in a nursing home has to be rushed to a hospital because they're dying, and then they die at the hospital, Cuomo ordered that death to be counted as a hospital death, not a nursing home death, even if the patient began coding in the nursing home.

Also via tedious gasbag: The New York Times notes that nine public health experts have recently resigned from Andrew Cuomo's government, I mean, New York State's government. The reason seems to be that Cuomo keeps disregarding the "experts'" plans.  The decision to seed the nursing homes with covid victims was done at the behest of rich hospital association donors, and the decision to make nursing homes immune to lawsuit due to their inability to quarantine sick patients was also done at the behest of rich donors.

Media Hall Monitor Puts Happy Face on Censorship. Calls for Renaming It "Harm Reduction"


It amazes me that of all the people who should be offended by the present atmosphere of censorship, members of the news media, should be shouting "foul" from the mountaintops.  It just proves once and for all that truth and freedom are taking a back seat to ideology and political parties, as if they think no one notices. And as for the claim that CNN has not played part in trying to deplatform their competitors, Tater Stelter just flat out lied.

A Good Monday Morning

Is Biden Just Throwing Darts at a Wall of Post-it Notes with Names on Them??


I think we all are scratching our heads at Biden's sometime questionable picks for appointments to high level positions, even dragging out losers like The Earl of Ketchup, John Kerry, and a lunatic like Jennifer Granholm, who spent most of her appearances on cable news pre-election coverage calling everyone nazis, along with people with little or no level of expertise in their positions of authority they find themselves appointed to. I really didn't think things could get anymore weirder than Mayor Buttcheeks at Transportation, who I think Biden just didn't understand what the Mayor really meant when he said he liked trains.

But after reading this: 'Joe Biden Takes Failing Up to an Unprecedented Level', I'm starting to get the feeling Joe may be throwing darts at a wall of post-it notes with names written on them.
"When I found out some weeks back that Andy Slavitt was being brought in by Joe Biden to be a top COVID advisor, all I could do was chuckle. This was a guy who has been consistently wrong for the entirety of the pandemic, including projecting over one million deaths. His Twitter feed presents itself as the ravings of lunatic, and his proclamations on things like lock downs and mask usage have been shown to be evidence free garbage. 
Yet, Slavitt might not be the worst example of failing up in the Biden administration. There’s a new contender, and she’s taking things to an unprecedented level. It’s truly the worst of Washington on display."
And that bring us to one Suzi Levine:
"Suzi Levine, who lost $600 million to Nigerian scam artists then helped block an audit of her department, will now lead the federal office that helps states manage jobless benefits. The fact that this woman spells her name with a “z” should have been a clue something was off, but I digress. Suzan Levine has announced her elevation to the Biden administration from serving as Washington state’s Commissioner of Employment Security Department. 
As head of the ESD, her job was ostensibly to protect her state from fraud involving things like benefit payments. Instead, she lost $600 million to Nigerian scam artists. No, I’m not joking. That’s really a thing that happened. 
After that was revealed, Levine attempted to cover her own backside by refusing an audit to figure out what the heck happened. Her agency has been embattled and under investigation ever since. She also oversaw long delays during the pandemic in getting people benefits. Now, here comes the kicker. Levine and her husband gave $400,000 toward Biden’s election effort during the 2020 cycle. 
For her troubles, she’s going from losing hundreds of millions of dollars with her incompetence to doing the same job at the federal level. Brilliant, right?....."
The swamp is alive and well, and Joe Biden is shoveling more and more garbage into it. Where are the outraged media reports about him appointing people with such obvious records of failure? I think we all know the answer to that by now.
