Media Outlet Afraid of the Online Mob Apologizes in Amusing Headline for Reporting on Biden Corruption



Business Insider decided to finally do a piece on the Hunter Biden scandal but equivocated all over the place trying to appease the leftist mob, disparage Trump, and dump on Fox News while minimally reporting on the corruption.


This is hilarious example of media throat clearing just to signal any potential online mob. A cowardly kind of genuflection necessary to appease readership. Instead of just focusing the facts and the documented corruption of the Biden clan, Business Insider appeared to feel it had to apologize to their liberal audience for even attempting to do their job as journalists media.

To be fair, it appears that they did mention a number of things that many on the right have reported about for quite some time. And he does comment that the mainstream media has basically dismissed Hunter Biden’s scandals. But then he goes on once more to water down the crime and corruption surrounding Biden the Younger. The writer just could not resist doing some kind of comparison to DJT. It’s their standby go-to when trying to deflect over misdeeds by Democrats. -  READ MORE

Have We Ever Witnessed a More Incompetent and Out of Touch Bunch Than Biden's Appointees? Chapter 5


Not to overlook we seem to have another corrupt democrat asshole as Attorney General, but if you ever wondered what would happen when a president appoints people based on their sex, color, or persuasion, look no further than the disaster that is Joe Biden’s administration.

We all know he didn’t pick Pete Buttigieg because of his experience with transportation issues.....
Guess it's a little different than managing the bus schedule in South Bend. Besides, he has a really cool bicycle.

I Ate A Melon So Delicious It Maybe Killed A Pope Once


Although I don't recall exactly where, I once read that Pope Paul II maybe died from eating too many melons. Sure, there were other theories about his death. That it was merely a heart attack, or that he actually died while shtupping a pageboy. But it is the melon story that has stuck with me, haunted me even.

I had so many questions! What kind of melons were they? How many melons is too many melons? I love melons! Am I at risk? And so not long ago, I fell into an internet hole trying to find answers to these questions, and only come out of it more confused than I was previously.....

Part of the mystery has been solved. Melon overdoses were once a THING:


Either there were many melon-related deaths in the Middle Ages, or people were going around spreading rumors of melon overdose deaths for some unknown reason. 

An article in Bon Appetit claims that Pope Paul II only ate "two good big melons" in one sitting before he kicked it — and while two melons is a lot, I am not convinced that it is enough to kill someone.

Most of the information I've been able to find says that the Pope Death Melon initially came from either Africa or Armenia and was grown in the papal gardens in Cantalupo di Sabina, which is how Pope Paul II developed his obsession with them. At some point, however, the seeds were brought to France by the Avignon Popes in the late 1300s and they started growing them in Cavaillon. Now, the Cavaillon melons that are apparently the descendants of the pope killing melon can only be legally grown in France (like champagne!). I read at some point that these particular melons were so good and people were so obsessed with them that they almost went totally extinct. I can, however, tell you that Alexandre Dumas once asked to be paid entirely in Cavaillon melons, which I can respect.

Also, there is a group that calls itself the "Brotherhood of Knights of the Order of Melon of Cavaillon," formed in 1988, which we are just going to assume is some kind of super awesome Melon Illuminati. But I digress!

Having been thinking about these Pope Death Melons for a very long time, I was blown away when I discovered I could have two of these melons delivered to me for 22 dollars.  I considered it. But then I was informed, if I knew the right people, I could get them right here at the N.O. French Market, which conjured up hazy memories of scoring hashish from Philippe behind the Paris Library while at university. 

SO I WENT AND I GOT ME SOME DAMN MELONS.

10/9 - 1:00 PM
Am I dead?
No, not yet. Not even a near-melon-death experience. I ate half of one yesterday and the other half this morning for breakfast and still seem to be doing pretty well.

Was it delicious?
Yes, it was delicious! I'm not sure if it was as thrilling as I had dreamed, but also what melon can really live up to literal years of built-up anticipation?

Could I eat so many of them that I would die?
Probably not, because they are small and very, very sweet. Guess it depend on what you chase them with. One half is fine for me.  

10/10- 12:24 AM
Just checking, still not dead!

Deep Thoughts By AOC 🤪

If Socialism Doesn't Work, Then Why Are All My
Socialist Friends In DC Multi-Millionaires

Outspoken socialist Hasan Piker was trending on Twitter Wednesday after a leak revealed how much money he takes home every month: over $200,000. To many, it seemed like, well, a lot for a person who makes a living excoriating the rich with videos like "How the Ultra Rich Exploit Everything" and "NOBODY NEEDS THIS MUCH HOUSE". Especially since back in August, he made headlines for purchasing a nearly $3 million home in West Hollywood.

Many of the avatars of socialism in America today are rich. Very very rich. World class grifter and Black Lives Matter co-founder, Patrisse Khan-Cullors, recently purchased a $1.4 million dollar home in Los Angeles. Hollywood Land Whale Michael Moore, one of the more outspoken critics of American inequality and a champion of the Dictatorship of Hugo Chavez, is worth a reported $30 million. Fake negro Shaun King, an activist scam artist who regularly speaks out about Black poverty, recently bought an expensive lakefront home in an elitist area of New Jersey. Hell, even life long socialist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders is now a millionaire who owns three homes. And Bubble Brain Socialist Cover Girl AOC lives in an elitist DC neighborhood and drives a Tesla. 

Wealthy, privileged liberals are able to sleep at night thinking they're part of the solution because they say the right things ("Tax the Rich!") and buy the right books.

POWER TO THE CORRECT PEOPLE as they say.

Just "Part of the Process"?

"Tuesday and as we descend into an ever deepening and darkening dystopian nightmare, the chant of "Fuck Joe Biden" is rapidly becoming a national cri de coeur. A big reason is the reaction against the insanity of being forced to get injected with an at best minimally effective and at worst lethal chemical cocktail to combat a virus that was easily treated with cheap therapeutics ("was" since by now, Classic Chinese COVID has all but disappeared and mutated out of the environment). 
I'm only scratching the surface because Anthony Fauci, a twisted, megalomaniacal, malignant, rodentine dwarf who spent decades actually spreading disease and death while making money hand over fist via the pharmaceutical industry championing little more than very expensive snake oil, is placed on a pedestal as a demigod healer. And woe to anyone who dares question him, his motives and his record. 
This Merrick Garland cancer is just another Globalist technocrat in service of dismantling America and serving it up on a platter to the Greater Xi Asian COVID Prosperity Sphere and the UN. Julie Kelly indeed has been doing outstanding real journalism in chronicling the souls rotting away in the Garland Archipelago for having the gall to object to the 2020 election being stolen and the nation overthrown, their petty misdemeanor of being duped into trespassing into the Capitol notwithstanding. So, these people are demonized and are about to be railroaded into prison on trumped-up charges as having committed a crime worse than 9/11, the Civil War and the Holocaust combined. Yet when actual Nazi collaborator George Soros' bought and paid for thugs accost Kyrsten Sinema in a Senate toilet, Joe Towelette Biden dismissed it as "part of the process." 
Yeah, part of the process of political terrorism and intimidation. Now evidently, Sinema is being harassed everywhere she goes. 
One day, the chorus of "Fuck Joe Biden" is going to be akin to sticking your head into a jet airplane exhaust (or a Marshall amp at a circa '73 Deep Purple concert). And it won't be just aimed at that decrepit, demented asshole." - J.J. Sefton
