3 Weeks to a National Election: What Could the MSM Hiding This Time?

It's a little less than three weeks to the mid-terms. I can't help thinking what the Mainstream Media might be hiding from us this time? What story are they not covering, which story is buried, what is happening that they are straight out lying about? We will find out in three or four months or so, but for now, we can only wonder.  But I have some guesses:

A number of Americans have already died in the Ukraine war.

Inflation is much worse than admitted in government figures.

All of the trouble with the Saudis is blowback from the oil price-fixing scheme the US was trying to organize in Europe.

Crime rates are much worse than admitted in FBI figures.

The suicide figures for those poor gender-transitioning kids are probably appalling.

Tell me that I’m wrong. That the bad guys are clearly identifiable by their black hats and mustaches, and the good guys are always steadfast and true. I’d like to believe it.

Am I the Only One To Noticed This?

If MSNBC had any shame they wouldn’t have disgraced, fired former FBI agents and proven liars like recent CIA directors on their network as commentators. But of course, in the media shame would in some cases be a step up.

Today, while killing a few brain cell in absolute wonderment watching a twitter clip of the disgraced, former FBI official Peter Strzok tell MSNBC's resident 50 year old teenager and daily Jan 6th circle jerk moderator that "9/11 is nothing compared to January 6", I noticed something I had not seen in former clips broadcasted from this little weasel's private nest before.

At first I didn't realize what it was looking at. 

Then I did....... 

This begs the question: Does this disgraced fired former FBI agent possess Secret, Top Secret and Confidential folders in the home?  If so, where are said folders? And should the FBI be raiding this slug's home in the middle of the night?

Of course, you and I know the answers to these questions, don't we. 

They're displayed in plain site of the camera and is pure, in you face visual mockery of  DJT and the Mar-a-Lago raid by the type of people who should have long ago felt the stretch of a rope upon their necks.

Remember the excuses peddled by comedians during the Obama years? This bright, handsome president is so smart, and thoughtful, there’s just nothing to poke fun at. We’ve tried oh, so hard, but it’s impossible. They clung to that nonsense hard, for eight solid years. 

No so for the walking, talking punchline, the Administration's Court Jester, Sniffer Joe.  He supplied blogs like this one with a wealth of material.

But nothing that happened before 2016 is of relevance anymore (unless it can be used to forward victimhood). In the repressive woke age we find ourselves in, despite his documented history, Biden is now being protected from mockery because if Saturday Night Live and other partisan comedy shows really went after him, they could destroy him.

If Joe Biden was a Republican, Saturday Night Live & Comedy Central mockery would be ruthless and brutal and it would happen week, after week, after week. Everyone knows this is true.

Joe once tried he hand at acting.

Courtney Is Judging You 

Homeowner Shoots Naked Intruder Allegedly Trying to Steal Cat. At about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, a homeowner in the 190 Block of CR 4161 contacted the Newton County Dispatch Center and stated that he woke up and found an unidentified naked man inside his house. He described the intruder as a white male that appeared to be young, possibly in his early twenties. The homeowner further advised that the unidentified man tried to steal his cat. The suspect then fled the home, and a deputy spotted him running naked. (sounds like profiling to me 😂)

Did you hear a boom 'round about 11 am on Saturday morning? That was the sound of the Georgia senatorial debate between Herschel Walker and Ralphael Warnock blowing up on Tiffany Cross during her MSNBC show. Cross was presumably counting on her guests to take shots at Walker's performance.

The Observatory Gift Shop Manager gets schooled by Bill Maher. Neil deGrasse Tyson decided to be the rare guest who pushes back on Maher’s Covid contrarianism, spending several minutes challenging Maher on the issue. Then, just when Maher was changing the subject, Tyson threw his jab. Maher did not take it well.

Pour Yourself a Drink, Patriot—the Democrat Party Is Crumbling. Like Hitler and John Wayne Gacy, the Democrats got arrogant over their successes, and that arrogance made them sloppy. That’s when their evil came to an end. Americans are catching on to what is happening. 

They Mock Us to Our Faces. A new photography book puts Black actors in Hollywood's most iconic movie moments. Carell Augustus' new book Black Hollywood: Reimagining Iconic Movie Moments, he takes some of cinema's most memorable images — think Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain or Janet Leigh's fateful shower in Psycho — and casts them with black actors and actresses.  Augustus says "We're constantly at war with so many things, and we're constantly sort of taking the battle scars and the battle wounds, you know, and people are constantly looking to Black women to lead armies of change."

Fun With Leftist and Pseudoscience

In my reading time yesterday I came across an interesting link to a older story that took me to the notorious website, Raw Story, an ad platform masquerading as a information source, legendary for leftist tripe, misinformation and misinterpretation of the things of this world.  The post, steeped in pseudoscience interpretations, was one that as I read, it immediately hit me as perfect example of Psychological Projection.

With my simple changing of one overused crucial word, and a few others for effect, an interesting thing then happens - it removes the original author's projection and describes perfectly to a T the very type of person it was intended to influence. See if you can guess what the critical word is I changed. 

The original text is linked at the bottom of the post.  My changes are in Italics.

A Link Between Brain Damage and Leftist Fundamentalism Has Been Established by Scientist

A study published in the journal 'Neuropsychologia' has shown that Leftist fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that abnormal areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes Leftist fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like reality and open-mindedness.

Leftist beliefs can be thought of as socially transmitted mental representations that consist of unreal expectations and cults of personalities. Leftist beliefs differ from empirical beliefs, which are based on how the world appears to be and are updated as new evidence accumulates or when new theories with better predictive power emerge.

On the other hand, Leftist beliefs are not usually updated in response to new evidence or explanations, and are therefore strongly associated with verbose self-inflected beclowning of it's adherents. They are fixed and rigid, which helps promote unpredictability and incoherence to the rules of civil society among individuals within the group.

Leftist groups generally oppose anything that questions or challenges their beliefs or way of life. For this reason, they are often aggressive towards anyone who does not share their specific set of  beliefs, and towards the truth, as these things are seen as existential threats to their entire worldview.

Since leftist beliefs play a massive role in driving and influencing human behavior throughout the world, it is important to understand the phenomenon of  leftist fundamentalism from a psychological and neurological perspective.

To investigate the cognitive and neural systems involved in leftist fundamentalism, a team of researchers of Northwestern University conducted a study that utilized data from Social Justice War veterans that had been gathered previously. CT scans were analyzed comparing 119 SJW vets with brain trauma to 30 healthy citizens with no damage.

Based on previous research, the experimenters predicted that the prefrontal cortex would play a role in leftist fundamentalism, since this region is known to be associated with something called ‘cognitive flexibility’.

According to Dr. Grafman and his team, since  leftist fundamentalism involves a strict adherence to a rigid set of beliefs, cognitive flexibility and open-mindedness present a challenge. As such, they predicted that participants would score low on measures of cognitive flexibility and trait openness and high on measures of Leftist fundamentalism.

These findings are important because they suggest that impaired functioning in the prefrontal cortex—whether from a psychological disorder, a drug or alcohol addiction, or simply a particular genetic profile—can make an individual susceptible to Leftist fundamentalism. And perhaps in other cases, extreme leftist indoctrination harms the development or proper functioning of the prefrontal regions in a way that hinders cognitive flexibility and openness.

By investigating the cognitive and neural underpinnings of leftist fundamentalism, we can better understand how the phenomenon is represented in the connectivity of the brain, which could allow us to someday inoculate against rigid or radical belief systems through various kinds of mental and cognitive exercises.

Local Woke Businessman Extends Welcome Message To Refugees

Blinkie Carsdale - Owner Operator of Mystical Coffee Bar and Bong Emporium 

My Independent Coffee Shop Welcomes All Refugees

That Can Afford a Seven Dollar Latte 

A MFNS Op-ed by Blinkie Carsdale

The Mystical Coffee Bar is all about coffee and inclusion. That is why our new policy is that all illegal alien refugees are always welcome in our café so long as they can afford at least a seven dollar small latte (cash only).

Owning a small independent coffee shop is about more than just making money. It's about being a part of a community. A community that we would love to welcome you into, just as soon as you decide what drink you would like. I take my role as a community leader very seriously and I am using my abundant trust fund money wisely. I'm not just some uncaring businessman ripping people off. I am fueling the members of my neighborhood with nutritious, earth saving soy and goat cum ingrediencies as they start their day so they can go out and make a difference in the world.

This would probably be a good time to mention each refugee needs to buy his or her own drink if they wish to stay in the café or use the restrooms.

Now I know that our latté’s aren't cheap, especially on a refugee salary, but that's because we pay our workers a fair wage and only use cruelty-free beans in our coffee. We charge more because we are fighting back against an evil capitalistic system that marginalizes common people to enrich the powerful. Moments like these are why I started my own business.

I truly look forward to you coming to the register with your seven dollars (cash only) so I can show you how much The Mystical Coffee Bar supports the downtrodden of our society.  

But I do insist that you not beg our customers for money. It makes them feel uncomfortable.
