Yes, I’m sure Biden will really miss all the big donations from that extremely successful immigrant group. I’m also sure they’ll have a great alternative in Trump who is famous for bringing more and more Muslims into the country, at least until we know what the hell is going… Oh, wait.

You just can’t win with leftists. Here’s an example.

I’m reading a biography of famous Spanish writer Carmen Laforet who authored the second most widely read Spanish novel after Don Quixote.

Laforet’s future husband did everything a person humanly could to make her career as a writer possible. He found an opportunity for her to get her first publication, encouraged her to apply for a prestigious literary prize and even typed up the clean version of her first book so that she didn’t have to get distracted from her writing. He was a successful professional man and she an indigent, college student failing out of her second major. Yet he found the time and the willingness to put himself in service of her talent.

This was all happening in the 1940s, in Franco’s Spain during the autarky. Nobody much expected or wanted women to have careers. You’d think Laforet’s biographers would have something positive to say about the man who, in the most un-sexist way possible, advanced a woman’s career long before they got married and had a large number of children.

But no, the only scenario leftists can allow to exist is the one where an evil, oppressive husband steals his wife’s career and forces her to toil in obscurity, typing up his manuscripts as she swallows bitter tears of thwarted ambition. Instead of praising Laforet’s husband for helping her fulfill her dreams, they… rubbish the man for turning Laforet into a professional writer instead of letting her “live a life of complete freedom”. It’s unclear what kind of “freedom” the desperately poor Laforet could have achieved but who cares? As long as even the most helpful, supportive husband can be portrayed as an evil ogre, it’s all good.

Also, this idea of “complete freedom” as being preferable to a great husband, five children and a mega-successful literary career is pretty moronic. What does a person who’s “completely free” from all of this do all day? Stare at the wall, reciting leftist slogans?

The biography is good but the authors keep injecting their 21st-century activist hangups into the description of a life that existed in a completely different era and followed entirely different rules.

My husband has a hobby that gives us free air travel anywhere in the world and free access to all airport lounges. Today, we are exploring a golf lounge in Minneapolis.

There’s a mini-golf course and separate rooms for serious players who want to practice their… whatever it is you do in golf.

It’s really cool because I can give my kid a chance to run around between flights.

In the University of Barcelona in 1941, a professor of geography told his students not to use the words “orientation” and “oriented” because “this is Spain, and Spain is in the Occident, so let’s not use this orientalist vocabulary.”

This was a terrible post-war time. Many real professors had either died or gone into exile, so the university had to hire a lot of ideologically sound yet intellectually deficient quacks.

We are now doing the same kind of thing but without the excuse of a war or a dictatorship. We have gladly and eagerly assumed every insane ideological hangup of every possible authoritarian regime. Too much freedom sends people looking for boundaries, and in the absence of any real ones, they surround themselves with walls of superstition, quackery and self-policing. Our “pronouns: he, him” is the “touch wood” of a pre-industrial peasant.

Too much and too little freedom lead to the same place of great anxiety and generalized superstitious stupidity.

What I don’t like about Canada is that this is what counts as a healthy breakfast:

It’s the most humongous portion I’ve seen in years.

What I like about Canada is that when I say I from the US, people immediately respond with “Merry Christmas.” It’s really sweet.

Every time I eat poutine, I begin to support Quebec’s indepence.

I actually prefer the regular working class poutine to this fancy one with the hollandaise sauce but the point still stands.

In the meantime, a guy in Tennessee recently murdered an 18-year-old girl because he enjoys shooting at people for no reason. The murderer has a long history of criminal activity, including the 2021 shooting at a mother and two toddlers for which he received no punishment. Here’s a short list of the criminal activity by this criminal:

• 2011: Police seized a .40 caliber handgun from Taylor during an incident when he was a juvenile.
• 2015: Taylor was charged with robbery and given probation
• 2016: Taylor violated that probation when he was charged with aggravated burglary and was sentenced to a year in jail.
• 2021: Taylor was arrested after he and another man fired a gun into a car on Dickerson Pike in East Nashville. He was charged with aggravated assault.
• May 2023: He was released from custody after three court-appointed psychologists deemed him incompetent to stand trial, but also found he didn’t pose an imminent threat to himself or others.
• Sept. 2023: Taylor was charged with auto theft and released on bail, but an arrest warrant was issued for him last Friday when he failed to show up in court.

There are more crimes on his rapsheet but it’s impossible to list them all without turning this into a mile-long post. The guy is the definition of a career criminal.

Now a young woman is dead, and the only reason this bastard might finally get isolated from society is if there’s enough of an outcry. Of course, the people who like to complain about gun violence will stay mum because they aren’t interested in this un-PC kind of gun violence. This is also the majority of gun violence in this country but we aren’t supposed to know that we can get randomly shot while jogging by a guy that is too much of a victim to pay for his crimes.

Shaquille Taylor, the murderer, is only 29 years old. Imagine how many more people he can victimize in his life.

So let’s give even more thanks that we are not the morons who are hiding from these news reports because they contradict a convenient narrative.

It’s a true story. The guy ate people. A veritable Russian Jeffrey Dahmer who was pardoned by the great defender of Christian values Putin.

On this Thanksgiving Day, let’s give thanks that we aren’t the morons who think there’s anything Christian about Russia.
