(Yes, this is his actual 2016 tweet)

Not the least deterred from the backlash he engendered by his 2016 hyperbole (for which he’d be promoted today) Atlantic reporter now compares his stalwart band of anti-Trump reporters to the soldiers who died on Omaha beach.

I Miss the Thrill of Trump

"Covering the administration was thrilling for many journalists, in the way that I imagine storming Omaha Beach must have been for a 20-year-old fresh from the plains of Kansas. He hadn't signed up for battle, but there he was, liberating France. ... This was our Omaha Beach. I, for one, would have rather been in Hawaii."

Obama spokesman Ben Rhodes, on how the administration hornswoggled the adoring press into supporting Iran’s nuclear weapons program:

“The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing,”

Today’s reporters have been taught since kindergarten to hate America and love its enemies; they’re easy prey, and tools.

This is serious stuff

Twitter has cancelled Project Veritas Readers of this blog probably know of the organization: it’s a conservative group that has recorded radical leftists, including many government bureaucrats, saying remarkable things about their intentions and plans. It was only a matter of time before Big Tech silenced it, but this quashing of dissent is moving more swiftly than even I’d imagined.

I used this headline because that was my immediate reaction, and then discovered that Redstate had pretty much said the same thing last night. But I’ll leave it up, because, yes, we’re in the midst of a massive shutdown of dissent by our new rulers. Day by day, they’re smothering us, from “minor’ — except to the proprietors — like Chase Bank closing the account of a coffee company that supported Trump, Lockdown Red states, while forcing taxpayers to pay for Blue States’ profligacy to smothering stories harmful to Biden, to Facebook, Twitter, and the larger media canceling all voices that dare to object. Big and small, they’re after all.

Civil war?

Finally!

U.S.—According to teachers union reps, stressed-out teachers across the country are looking forward to a relaxing summer break after a grueling year of staying at home and watching Netflix.

"This year has really taken a toll," said 3rd-grade teacher Patricia Peasley between mouthfuls of popcorn and episodes of Bridgerton. "I'm almost out of Netflix shows. Sometimes, my Chinese food gets delivered cold. Zoom calls with a bunch of 3rd-graders have given me PTSD. I need a break."

When asked what they will do with their summer break, most teachers replied that it likely will involve more Netflix and wine. "After all," said Peasley, "there's COVID outside. We can't go outside! We have to stay indoors and continue watching our streaming services for as long as possible!"

Joe Biden has joined the teacher unions in demanding that schools stay closed until all children have been vaccinated. No vaccine has been tested on children, and therefore no vaccine has been approved for use on children under 18, so this may take a while.

While “science” has proved that schools are not a source of infection by the Chinese Virus, it’s also a fact that these teachers are continuing on full salary, courtesy of their indentured employers, taxpayers.

Massachusetts Global Warming Tsar fired after ‘breaking their will” video is leaked

Last week, the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance published a new video of David Ismay, the Baker/Polito administration’s Undersecretary for Climate Change, telling a group of Vermont advocates that in order for Massachusetts to lower carbon emissions, the state needs to “break their will” and “turn the screws on” ordinary people to achieve the administration’s climate goals.

Ismay gave the remarks on Jan. 25 at the Vermont Climate Council meeting. He said, “So let me say that again, 60% of our emissions that need to be reduced come from you, the person across the street, the senior on fixed income, right … there is no bad guy left, at least in Massachusetts to point the finger at, to turn the screws on, and you know, to break their will, so they stop emitting. That’s you. We have to break your will. Right, I can’t even say that publicly …” 

Understand, all of the policies Isway and his cabal are advancing: soaring prices for electricity and gasoline, the shut down of fossil fuel power plants and pipelines, ending offshore fishing are proceeding; it’s just the idiot child who spoke of the true goals aloud who’s been canned.

33 Highland Farm Road, asking $5.3 million. It’s been on for quite a while. Some time ago, after it had dropped from $6.750 to $5.495, I suggested to a client that he offer 75% of the owners’ $6.1 million, 2013 purchase price: $4.750. He never did, but I’m curious to see what the final sales price will be; I suspect I wasn’t far off the mark. The place sold for $6.9 in ‘05, and a lot of money was put into it since then.

Do you know me?

Do you know me?

NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who 100 hundred years ago majored in English Literature, and the Wapo’s Jennifer Rubin, who majored in Victimhood Finger Painting at Berkeley (of course), rush to publicize their idiocy. Like all their reporting and commentary, theirs are tales told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,.

MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell attempted to fact-check Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after he quoted Shakespeare, and Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin rushed to mock his supposed stupidity. As it turns out, Cruz — not Mitchell — was correct. Mitchell had the good sense to apologize, but it seems Rubin has yet to do so.

During an appearance on the Fox News show America’s Newsroom, Cruz quoted The Bard to summarize the second impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

“It’s reminiscent of Shakespeare — that it is full of sound and fury, and yet signifying nothing,” said Cruz, referencing part of a well-known soliloquy from “Macbeth.”

Yet Mitchell claimed that Cruz got his authors mixed up. “[Cruz] says [the impeachment trial] is like Shakespeare full of sound and fury signifying nothing. No, that’s Faulkner,” she tweeted.

Rather than checking her facts, Rubin rushed to mock the senator. She claimed “it says volumes about his lack of soul. That’s Any Thinking Person.”

Of course, this will soon be irrelevant: our schools are already busy cancelling Shakespeare, and Faulkner will soon join him in oblivion.

Out, Damn spot!
