Why Corey Snapped

Corey Burke, 33, allegedly struck, stabbed and strangled her father, 67-year-old Timothy Burke, in a fatal attack at her $800,000 Seattle home on November 5.

Burke, a training manager at Jeff Bezos’ rockets and spacecraft company, confessed to killing her father after he refused to turn off the lights, according to charging documents seen by DailyMail.com.

Everybody online says Corey is a lesbian but she’s nothing of the kind. She’s one of those miserable women whose husband pretends to be a woman. That she snapped as a result of such a life is not shocking. I’m not justifying her in the least, of course. The murder was gruesome and she should rot.

Here’s the $800,000 home, by the way:

Housing is extremely overpriced in some regions.

But in any case, no man in existence will put up with a wife who grows a beard and would start calling himself gay to please her. Only women do this kind of subservient, pathetic stuff. Corey had money to buy a $800,000 house, so it’s not poverty that prevented her from leaving the narcissistic husband. She stuck with him until her brain couldn’t take any more abuse and she lashed out against the man who brought her up to be such a docile, easily abused person.

Out of Touch

Dems torn over transgender issue: Centrists worry that party is ‘reading the public wrong’.

Wait, so they though that the public actually wanted this? And they were following the lead of the public opinion? Can anybody be even more out of touch?

This utter incapacity to understand reality is widely spread on the Left. Among academics who believe that Trump supporters should be banned from voting (true story) the strangest myths about teaching proliferate. I sit with colleagues at a conference, and they try to outcompete each other on whose teaching is more touchy-feely and less demanding.

“I don’t grade anymore! Instead, students decide for themselves which grade they deserve!”

“I don’t do exams or assign essays because it’s too stressful for students!”

“I don’t assign presentations or group projects because students with mental health issues suffer!”

“I don’t do lectures because students get too bored.”

“I tell students I’m not the authority in the classroom, I don’t have the right to say if they are doing well or not and we are completely equal in the classroom.”

“I’m against hierarchy! Merit is racist! If students miss a lot of class it’s probably because they are underprivileged!”

Then it’s my turn to speak and I say, “I do traditional teaching. Lectures, exams, tons of assigned readings, harsh grading, I fail people easily and with gusto, everything is graded strictly on merit, I’m the authority in the classroom, when I speak, everybody else is silent.”

Colleagues stare at me in confusion but I haven’t had an underenrolled class since my first year of teaching and my evaluations are invariably spectacular.

Students actually love rigor, merit, clear expectations, hierarchy and a professor who is authoritative and in control. The Left is making assumptions about human beings that are completely baseless. Its ideology is based entirely on hubris.

First-time Voters

Newsweek reports:

“56 percent of first-time voters chose the Republican over the 43 percent who selected Vice President Kamala Harris. Four years ago, 64 percent of first-timers picked President Joe Biden, while Trump only attracted 32 percent.”… Among the first-time voters were 8 million from Gen Z, who narrowed the Democrats’ lead among 18 to -29-year-olds from 24 percent in 2020 to 13 percent in 2024.

Aside from the youngsters, a large number of people who never voted before registered to vote this time. Even the perennially apolitical did have an opinion this time.

Let’s never ever hear about equity and other diversities ever again – and did I say ever? – because it’s dead and buried.

Nobody to Blame

They have absolutely nobody but themselves to blame. Probably bitched and moaned all throughout their children’s childhoods about how hard parenting is and how they are its victims.

As I keep saying, people need to start taking responsibility. Is anybody ever responsible for anything or is it all “society” and social media? If “society” did your parenting for you, you don’t deserve much respect.

More Great Appointments

I never heard of Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense. I went to investigate and discovered that he speaks exactly like me:

Pete Hegseth calls Putin a war criminal and says Biden has been a weak president. We should have sent Ukraine double the weapons and faster so this war would be over sooner with a victory for Ukraine.

This is just a small quote. The actual video is much better.

I’m very happy with Trump’s nominations so far. He’s putting people exactly where they should be. Vivek, for instance, would be horrid at foreign policy because he’s gauche and doesn’t understand it. But on cutting government waste he’d be great. He has exactly the personality for it.

The Mythical 61 Million

Zelensky’s statement that implied Biden had blocked 90% of the weapons assistance that congress allocated seems to be 100% true.

Biden has totally fucked Ukraine. Still $9 billion sitting unused that could have been saving lives and destroying Russians.

And I’m supposed to bemoan that Trump won… why, exactly? If somebody openly says, “the US can only give these 10% and that’s it”, that’s helpful because we can discuss it with Europe and see what they can do. But with the mythical 61 million that Congress authorized and Biden refused to deliver, we are stuck because Europe and everybody else says, “well, if you can’t win with these enormous amounts of aid, then why should we even bother?”

It’s a very interesting question where those allocated and undelivered 51 million actually went. I’d love to hear about that.

We are grateful for any help we get but just say it honestly. These lies are killing us.

Not a Flower

I was late to the DEI meeting of the week, and when I came in, people were introducing themselves as, “I’m a flower, I’m a tree, I’m a branch.”

I had no idea what they were in about, so I said I’m Chair of Foreign Languages. Which I am. I don’t know what need to happens for me to say “I’m a flower” in the workplace.

I’m so tired of this corporate crap, I can’t tell you.

Snapped Up

Maybe I didn’t bomb all that badly on election night because the owner of the channel where I bombed wants to give me a weekly show before – and I quote – “you get snapped up by all the other people who will be lining up for you.”

I’ve started making a list of the outfits I wear to my appearances to keep track and not repeat too often.

Used Kleenex

Tulsi Gabbard threw her lot in with Trump, portraying him as the anti-war candidate. Gabbard denounced Marco Rubio as part of the “neocon warmongering establishment” months ago, and now Trump has appointed him as Secretary of State, a position she sought.

https://x.com/dancohen3000/status/1856157375163425083?t=yr1xmBEbdaGbLHKRST0iCQ&s=19

Trump used her and threw her away like a dirty, torn Kleenex. It’s a beauty to behold.

You can’t be “anti-war” while shilling for warmongers. Tulsi despises the US and should be shunned.

Saved from Inclusion

Remember that research retreat for faculty of color I was upset about? The one where people were excluded based on race for purposes of inclusivity? The good news is that I’m not upset anymore because it turned out to be a scheme aimed at tricking these poor faculty of color into relinquishing their course materials to underpaid “visiting lecturers.” After giving up their courses, the faculty of color were supposed to be shipped to the plantation outside of the university for onerous assignments that would effectively prevent them from doing research.

In short, go to a research retreat to help you publish more and end up with your courses stolen and unable to publish.

The bad news is that it took me a mountain of effort to free my two faculty of color who got trapped into this scheme. They are fortunate that they have me who is willing to go to the bat for them and liberate them. The faculty of color who have less combative and less feared department heads are still trapped.
