Let’s Talk About Things That Never Happen, According to Mainstream Media

Say hello to April Bradford, whose name you will never hear mentioned on CNN. Miss Bradford, formerly a teacher in Floyd County, Kentucky, is an excellent reminder of why this blog exists, and therefore also a reminder that you should hit the freaking tip jar, but I digress . . . Why am I here? […]

‘Tunnel Girl’ Update: Why KiwiFarms Is Better Than Mainstream Journalism

In my previous post, I expressed dismay that KiwiFarms didn’t have a “lolcow” thread about “Kala,” the TikTok personality who is digging an (apparently illegal) tunnel under “her” Northern Virginia home. Now I must apologize to the KF crew, after a commenter pointed out that there was such a thread, which I hadn’t found because […]

Why Doesn’t KiwiFarms Have a Lolcow Thread About TikTok’s ‘Tunnel Girl’?

The two most important things to know about “Tunnel Girl” a/k/a “Kala Engineer” are (a) she’s not an engineer and (b) she’s not a girl, either. For some reason — perhaps TikTok has a policy against “transphobia” — nobody has pointed out the (b) part of that, even though “Kala” used the #transition hashtag on […]

Why Are Democrats Such Bad People?

Everybody has already commented on the bizarre case of Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the staffer for Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin who was fired after posting a video of himself being sodomized in a hearing room at the Hart Senate Office Building, and then claimed victimhood: Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the Senate staffer who filmed himself having anal sex […]

Lesbian Teacher Sentenced to Prison for Sexually Molesting Two Teenage Girls

There is no such thing as a gay pedophile, so far as the media are concerned, and on those occasions when minors are abused in such circumstances, journalists are obliged to conceal the most obvious facts. Longtime blog buddy Dana Pico calls attention to […]

Crazy People Are Dangerous

Well, this is a sad story: Fred “Bubba” Copeland was the mayor of Smiths Station, a town of less than 7,000 people in Lee County, Alabama. He was also a freakazoid, secretly pursuing transgender fantasies that he posted online using a persona he called “Brittini Blaire Summerlin.” Somehow (the details are not clear to me) […]

‘Kill All You Little Crackers’

“I’d be willing to speculate,” my brother Kirby said, when I mentioned that the Nashville shooter’s “manifesto” had finally been leaked, “that this person’s brain got poisoned during the lockdown. They went down a rabbit hole, and never came back.” And that’s almost certainly correct. Like me, my brother is a longtime student of criminal […]

Carnac the Magnificent Knows the Answer

If you’re old enough to remember when late-night TV was actually funny, you remember “Carnac the Magnificent.” In a recurring Tonight Show segment, Johnny Carson portrayed an Eastern mystic whose psychic powers enabled him to discern the answers to questions written inside envelopes which had been “hermetically sealed” and “kept in a mayonnaise jar on […]
