"Journalists": Lickspittle Lapdogs of their masters

Then this happened:

On Monday, Democrat house organ Axios ran a column headlined, “How photographers view the photos of Trump’s assassination attempt.”

Zoom in: Multiple photographers worried privately in conversations with Axios that the images from the rally could turn into a kind of “photoganda,” with the Trump campaign using them to further their agenda despite the photographers’ intent of capturing a news event.

  • None would comment on the record for fear of losing future work.

  • A photo editor and photographer from a major news outlet said the “amount that publications have been using Evan’s photo is kind of free P.R. for Trump in a way, and its dangerous for media organizations to keep sharing that photo despite how good it is.”

The editors heard the dogwhistle, and obeyed, thus:

From the House of Regrettable Design, a price cut

/

After 64 days on the market without an offer, the builder of the new structure at 17 Bramble Lane, Riverside, has dropped its price from $5.295 million to $4.995. I’m sure that will do it.

It’s an odd-looking house, but what it lacks in curbside appeal may be compensated for by its “character oak flooring”. I was unfamiliar with the term, so I looked it up: it turns out, it’s oak planks with knots in them. We used to call those “seconds”, but then, we also used to have master bedrooms, garages were referred to as garages, not “garaging”, and porte cocheres were reserved for David Ogilvy listings; life goes on, I guess.

Friends of mine sold this property to the builder in 2022 for $1,771,750 million (original ask, $1.650) and they, at least, did well: I don’t know what they paid for it in 1969, but I’m sure it was less than that.

Ohio city facing ‘significant’ housing crisis due to migrant influx

Large numbers of people entering or living in America illegally are exacerbating the housing crisis, including in areas like Ohio far from the border.

City Manager Bryan Heck of Springfield sent an urgent letter requesting federal aid to U.S. Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio. Despite the city’s ongoing advancements in housing projects, the sheer number of migrants arriving and residing in the area has strained resources to their limits.

“Springfield has seen a surge in population through immigration that has significantly impacted our ability as a community to produce enough housing opportunities for all,” Heck wrote. “Springfield’s Haitian population has increased to 15,000 – 20,000 over the last four years in a community of just under 60,000 previous residents, putting a significant strain on our resources and ability to provide ample housing for all of our residents.”

“Springfield has found a way to feed, house, and provide free medical care to these poor refugees from that shit hole of a country”, Greenwich Invisible founder Joanna Swomley told FWIW, “and if Springfield can do it, well by golly, then, so can we! Like Springfield, we can put them up 12 to a hoe — well, heck, up in Baldwin Farms, we can make that three dozen — and now that we’ve banned leaf blowers, there’ll be plenty of work for them as tweezer patrolmen (and women! And people assigned as children at birth) to keep our lawns as bright, fresh, and tidy as they’ve always been.”

Since January 2021, an estimated 12 million people have entered the country illegally, coming from more than 150 countries. If you’d like to adopt a dozen or so, please contact the “non partisan” — anyone can join, as long as they’re against Trump” — Greenwich Invisible Ladies at their website: they’ll ship you a busload at your convenience.

One last, fond glimpse of the man we'd have loved to beat

They’ve shuffled their pumpkin off the stage and under his Rehoboth basement’s Cone of Silence for what is ostensibly being called “a two-week period of self-isolation”, but we all know it’s over. Joe’s gone, and he’s not coming back. Before we leave him, though, and move on to discussing whoever they replace him with, here’s a fitting finale, selected from the final radio interview he gave in Nevada just before his handlers pulled the plug and shipped him home to oblivion:

Biden insists he’s ‘in better physical shape’ than Trump as he forgets Herbert Hoover’s name in BET interview

Biden has called his rival “Donald ‘Herbert Hoover’ Trump” in campaign speeches — but grasped unsuccessfully for the name.

“You know, there’s only two presidents in American history who have come to office and left with fewer jobs,” Biden said.

“And the other was a guy we all know very well — um, so uh, I, I call — anyway. Trump is one of them.”

I’m going to miss the daily diet of Biden blunders that the flying monkeys of the press have fed us during the post-debate period while their masters put the final touches on the DNC removal project, because now we’ll be returned to our regularly scheduled programming, the Hitler/Trump/Vance cycle.

Sad.

UPDATE: The Daily Mail has video of the man barely making it down the short-steps used for his egress from Air Force One, and then struggling for 15 seconds to get inside the presidential limousine. If he weren’t such an evil, awful man, I’d pity him in his senescence.

The Junior Senator from Oklahoma raises an interesting question

/

It’s looking increasingly likely that his bosses are going to toss Biden overboard and bring in Kampalla Walla to finish his term, but there have also been rumors bruited about that they’ll let the old fool decline his scheduled nomination, but remain in office until the next inauguration. If the latter comes true, Senator Markwayne Mullin (who, to my surprise and Elizabeth Warren’s envy, is a real, genuine Cherokee Indian) asks how the Democrats could declare him unfit to run for reelection but perfectly capable of running the country for the next six months?

Certainly, the Democrats have repeatedly demonstrated an ability to spin the most preposterous, illogical lies and pass them off to the public as “common sense”, but it would still be an embarrassing situation to explain were Biden refuse to leave and they refused to invoke the 25th Amendment removal process.

So, maybe that increases the odds that we’ll see the old man ushered out of the White House sooner, rather than later.
