Like an Old REO Speedwagon Song

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another . . .

The “bombshell” surprise witness for Tuesday’s J6 show trial turned out to be a girl who was just barely out of college and working as an aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows at the time of the events about which she testified. Cassidy Hutchinson claimed to have “heard it from a friend,” etc., that President Trump was so completely out of control during the Capitol riot that he attacked a Secret Service agent and attempted to grab the steering wheel from the driver of the limousine, insisting that they drive him to the Capitol instead of the White House.

Nobody on the J6 Committee asked Secret Service to corroborate Hutchinson’s account. In fact, there is zero corroboration of her tale. Which is not to say that it has been proven false, exactly, and I suppose it is within the realm of possibility that (a) Hutchinson’s testimony will eventually be corroborated and (b) monkeys will fly out of my butt.

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheaper when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line.

Like the song said.




 

Sgt. McCain: Behind Enemy Lines

Posted on | June 29, 2022 | Comments Off on Sgt. McCain: Behind Enemy Lines

My Army son just survived a mission in hostile territory. He has been assigned to the newly revived 11th Airborne Division, based in Alaska, which will specialize in arctic combat. Just in case there is some country in a northern area (perhaps on the other side of the Bering Strait) that wants trouble, if you get my drift. So what Bob and his family did was, they sold their house in Georgia, bought a big camper trailer, and drove 5,000 miles to Alaska which, if you look at a map, means they had to cross over that most dangerous of all our enemies, Canada.

I don’t want to argue with anyone foolish enough to think that Canada is our “ally.” Our failure to conquer Canada when we had the chance, during the War of 1812, is a stain of dishonor on our national history. And now, as might have been expected, Canada has come under the control of a totalitarian madman named Justin Trudeau who, like all totalitarians everywhere, is seeking to disarm the civilian population.

The civilian population of Canada is very nice, my son said, and I warned him not to be lulled into a false sense of safety while he and his family (and their cat) traversed the wilderness of British Columbia and the Yukon. Everybody knows (or should know) that behind that mask of Canadian “niceness” lurks a dangerous ideology of anti-American hatred that supports the Trudeau regime. What is the national purpose of Canada, after all? Why does it even exist, except to be Not America?

Canada is basically like Iran. They hate us for our freedom.

Anyway, I’m sure all my readers share my Fear and Loathing of the Northern Menace, but Bob courageously endured several days traveling across Canada with his wife, his daughter and their cat, so he probably deserves some kind of medal. You could call it a “reconnaissance mission,” I suppose, and basically write it up like a Tom Clancy novel, except with lots of moose and elk and buffalo instead of terrorists.

Staff Sergeant McCain will soon become Sergeant First Class McCain, and will lead a platoon in the 11th Airborne. Speaking of which . . .

Every branch of the military is struggling to make its 2022 recruiting goals, officials say
Every branch of the U.S. military is struggling to meet its fiscal year 2022 recruiting goals, say multiple U.S. military and defense officials, and numbers obtained by NBC News show both a record low percentage of young Americans eligible to serve and an even tinier fraction willing to consider it.
The officials said the Pentagon’s top leaders are now scrambling for ways to find new recruits to fill out the ranks of the all-volunteer force. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks consider the shortfall a serious issue, said the officials, and have been meeting on it frequently with other leaders.
“This is the start of a long drought for military recruiting,” said Ret. Lt. Gen. Thomas Spoehr of the Heritage Foundation, a think tank. He said the military has not had such a hard time signing recruits since 1973, the year the U.S. left Vietnam and the draft officially ended. Spoehr said he does not believe a revival of the draft is imminent, but “2022 is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.”
The pool of those eligible to join the military continues to shrink, with more young men and women than ever disqualified for obesity, drug use or criminal records. Last month, Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville testified before Congress that only 23% of Americans ages 17-24 are qualified to serve without a waiver to join, down from 29% in recent years.
An internal Defense Department survey obtained by NBC News found that only 9% of those young Americans eligible to serve in the military had any inclination to do so, the lowest number since 2007.
The survey sheds light on how both Americans’ view of the military and the growing civilian-military divide may also be factors in slumping recruitment, and how public attitudes could cause recruiting struggles for years to come.

Is anyone really surprised by this? Fifteen years ago, when today’s recruits were toddlers, Democrats had enthusiastically embraced an anti-military, anti-patriotic agenda to encourage (and exploit for political gain) public backlash against the Iraq War. When our kids were little, the boys always got G.I. Joe for Christmas, but after about 2006, stores stopped stocking G.I. Joe. Why do you think that happened? Why did military toys disappear from stores? Isn’t it because of the anti-military agenda that the Democratic Party encouraged? And if boys don’t grow up playing soldier . . . Well, we know what happens to boys like that.

Having raised a soldier — who completed Best Ranger competition twice, and even survived a week in Canada — I should be credited with knowing a thing or two about what it takes to produce top military personnel.

First, and most obviously, boys ought to be encouraged to go outside and play. You might think this would be a no-brainer, but apparently not all parents understand the vital importance of playing outdoors. Recruiters will tell you that they have the best success in small towns in more rural parts of the country, simply because those are the kinds of places where parents let their boys run around out in the woods. The future soldier is likely to be fond of camping, hiking, hunting and fishing — the hearty outdoor life — and you’re not going to find many boys like that in the city.

Second, athletic participation should be encouraged. Except for a year or two of soccer, Bob wasn’t an extraordinary athlete as a kid, but he was raised up as a football fan — Roll, Tide! — and there was at least the usual amount of our boys running around throwing the ball, etc. As a teenager, he went through a bit of pumping iron and at one point, he and a buddy had a big punching bag in the basement that they worked out on. Physical fitness counts for a lot in being a soldier, and athletic participation helps encourage that. None of my kids are part of the “obesity epidemic.”

Third, a family military tradition matters. My own family has produced soldiers going back at least as far as the American Revolution. My dad was an Army staff sergeant in World War II and my brother was in the 101st Airborne. Two of my wife’s brothers were in the military, including one who did tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, and her youngest sister’s husband was an Army tanker. So my sons had four uncles with military backgrounds, and Bob joining the Army was thus part of a family tradition. Recruiters know this, too, which is why so many of our troops come from families with similar traditions.

Finally, a future soldier should be exposed to a patriotic culture that teaches heroic values. Kids who are taught to love their country are more likely to become soldiers, especially if they are exposed to movies and TV shows that venerate military heroism. When Bob and his twin brother Jim were nine years old, I took them to see Black Hawk Down. Bob now says no nine-year-old should see that movie and, yeah, maybe it’s a bit intense for young children, but that movie and others like it — The Patriot, for example — express patriotic and heroic values.

Notice that I speak of raising boys when I speak of raising soldiers. That’s because the fantasy of a “gender neutral” military is an anti-American political project backed by the worst people in the world. They promoted the idea of women in combat as a way of making our military completely ineffective. They don’t want America to win wars, so they encourage every bit of “woke” nonsense as a means of destroying combat effectiveness.

My Army son, of course, cannot be blamed for his father’s blunt expressions of fact. The sergeant has no opinions whatsoever. He is a soldier who follows orders, and if the Army had wanted him to have opinions, they would have issued them to him. So if his commanding officer were to say, “Gee, McCain, your old man sure hates Canadians,” Bob’s reply would probably be, “That is a fact, sir.”

A good soldier is a smart soldier, you see. HOOAH!

Netflix Cancels LGBTQ-Themed Cartoon

Posted on | June 28, 2022 | Comments Off on Netflix Cancels LGBTQ-Themed Cartoon

Why is Netflix such a cesspool of homophobia?

Just when you thought Netflix’s latest cancelation spree was over, another original show won’t be getting a second season. Although, in this case, it’s not a huge surprise that this particular show has received the axe after a fairly underwhelming debut run.
The canceled show in question is called Q-Force, an adult animated comedy that hit Netflix back in September 2021. The show’s first 10 episodes dropped concurrently, and What’s On Netflix discovered that these episodes will comprise the show’s complete run.
Q-Force’s fate has actually been known for a while now. Matt Rogers, one of the show’s writers and voice actors, revealed that “it did not get a second season” on the Attitudes! podcast back in May.
Q-Force is an adult animated comedy that focuses on a group of LGBTQ+ superspies, known as Queer Force, who are looking to prove themselves to the American Intelligence Agency (AIA) that undervalues them.
The group is led by Steve Maryweather, nicknamed Agent Mary (voiced by Sean Hayes), who was once one of the AIA’s hottest young prospects before he came out as gay and was subsequently ostracized by his colleagues. Now he leads Q-Force alongside Twink (Rogers), a French Canadian and “Master of Drag”, Deb (Wanda Sykes), a lesbian mechanic, and Stat (Patti Harrison), a transgender hacker.
The show sees the team not only fight against national security threats but also workplace discrimination and the fact AIA Director Dirk Chunley (Gary Cole) has taken a disliking to the plucky underdogs.

“Plucky underdogs”! Also “stunning” and “brave,” I’m sure.

Netflix is losing subscribers, and recently announced it was laying off 300 employees after laying off 150 in May. Guess the “LGBTQ+ superspies” weren’t very popular with the customers who pay the bills.

Gosh, if only there were a simple catchy phrase to summarize this.

Important Questions the White House Press Corps Will Never Ask Joe Biden

Posted on | June 27, 2022 | Comments Off on Important Questions the White House Press Corps Will Never Ask Joe Biden

The topic of Hunter Biden is streng verboten for so-called “mainstream” journalists, and so Our Alleged President will never face tough questioning about this subject:

President Joe Biden apparently unwittingly financed his son’s participation in an escort ring tied to Russia, records from a copy of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show.
Hunter Biden spent over $30,000 on escorts, many of whom were linked to “.ru” Russian email addresses and worked with an “exclusive model agency” called UberGFE during a 3 1/2 month period between November 2018 and March 2019.
He managed to do so thanks in part to Joe Biden committing to wiring him a total of $100,000 to help pay his bills from December 2018 through January 2019.
In one instance, Joe Biden wired his son $5,000 while he was actively engaged with an UberGFE escort. In another, texts indicated Hunter Biden convinced his father to wire him $20,000 to finance his stay at a New York City drug rehabilitation program that he never checked into. . . .
There is no suggestion in these messages that Joe Biden knew what his son was spending his support payments on.
Hunter Biden disclosed in text messages with a woman named Eva, the go-between who served as his primary point of contact for UberGFE, that his accounts were temporarily frozen at one point because his attempted payments to her “girls” with Russian email accounts were too much of a “red flag” for his bank. Eva refers to him as Robert in the messages, which is his birth name.
A 2020 Senate report by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) said: “Hunter Biden paid nonresident women who were nationals of Russia or other Eastern European countries,” and records note some of these transactions are linked to what “appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.”

Hey, did you ever hear anyone — anyone — from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, the New York Times, the Washington Post or the Associated Press mention this Senate report about Hunter Biden’s involvement with Eastern European human trafficking rings? Or did any journalist from any of these organizations ever engage in real reporting about the sources of Hunter Biden’s income and possible connections with Hunter’s father? No, of course not. They are determined to ignore this story, because it wouldn’t help Democrats win elections, and helping Democrats win elections is the only thing “mainstream” journalists really care about. “Operatives with bylines,” indeed.

UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers!

I have not been making as much progress on weeding out dead blogs from the bloglist, but at least I have peered into the guts of WordPress and figured out how to update the FMJRA widget so it’s not stuck on American Power all the time, especially since they don’t link us that often, really.
Another dismal week for the Senators. Not only did we get swept by the Expos in that frozen hellhole known as Jarry Park, we lost Casey Cox and Del Unser to injuries, though fortunately Del was only out for a day. We did manage to take two out of three from the Tribe in the Mistake by the Lake, though. so we’re only a game behind the A’s.
