I don’t want to be that person but I’m starting to think that Trump is posting angry messages about Elon again to conceal that the BBB is a dud and had all of the juicy parts stripped out of it.
The Famous Last Words
Two academics are really letting our whole group down in a big way. The leader of the group has been sending politely worded but clearly enraged emails for weeks. Today, he finally snapped and closed his email with “Thank you for your attention to this matter”, and I’m weeping in my office.
Faithful to the Cult
The sacred nature of the em dash gets hammered into every American academic. I resisted an initiation into the em dash cult for years but getting accused of being French eventually got to me and I joined the em-dashers. Since then I’ve been indoctrinated into the cult and radicalized. I don’t care about any newfangled fads. You’ll have to pry my em dashes our of my cold dead hands. I don’t care what ChatGPT does. I was there first and peed in a circle to mark my territory.
My Wish
What I want is for Russians to go to bed with pockets full of dog food like Ukrainians do every night.
So that rescue dogs can find them under the rubble.
A Valuable Sex Offender
More charming news in case you were feeling too positive today:
A Kenyan national convicted of sexually assaulting a sleeping woman in Minnesota wasn’t deported after his prison sentence — he was promoted.
Wilson Tindi holds a director position at the Minnesota Department of Education, where he audits taxpayer spending and oversees internal accountability.
Court records show Tindi was convicted in 2016 of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct after breaking into a woman’s home and assaulting her in bed where she slept. He pleaded guilty to the sex assault charge in exchange for prosecutors dropping a first-degree burglary charge.EXCLUSIVE: Convicted sex offender from Kenya avoids deportation, lands state job
I know, I know, Americans refuse to do these jobs. No American is capable of doing this highly onerous work.
The Most Important Provision of the BBB
I truly have no words:
Literally, the most important thing in the bill, and also the most reasonable and widely supported provision, is something we don’t get.
Widget Mentality
What can possibly go wrong? Hmm, I wonder.
The Best Gays
There’s an expression that the side that will win is the side that has the best Jews. I need to add, that it’s also the side that has the best gays.
Barbarians at the Gates
Ukraine decided to do everything to avoid inflicting civilian losses on Russia. As a result of these insane, in my opinion, efforts to look civilized, Ukraine is suffering its own terrible civilian losses daily. This is a policy of swapping your own population for a good standing with worldwide liberals who love a good victim.
Israel did the opposite. In inflicted horrific losses on the savages who perpetrated October 7, everybody who stood next to the savages, and everybody who stood next to those who stood next.
Everybody is now upset with what I’m saying and won’t read the post to the end but the point I’m making is not about Ukraine or Israel. It’s about barbarians at the gates. You are either ready to go absolutely fucking bananas at the aggressor or you are not. If you are not, you’ll be destroyed. Works geopolitically as well as individually.
Request for Recommendations
The only thing I like more than my evening routine is my morning routine. And part of it is listening to political commentary while I get ready for the day, cook breakfasts, pack lunches, etc. Matt Walsh is on a 2-week vacation and I’m left without a show. I’ve been reduced to Ben Shapiro but his voice is not doing it for me at this hour of the day.
Does anybody have suggestions? I’m looking for a daily right-wing show. Ideally, it should be at least an hour long. And open access because I hate subscriptions.
