FMJRA 2.0: Opening Day 1974

Posted on | October 12, 2025 | Comments Off on FMJRA 2.0: Opening Day 1974

— compiled by Wombat-socho

The draft in Pete’s league finished up Wednesday; I dropped out a little early because I have a solid lineup and at least one bench player who can fill in if somebody gets crunched; likewise, I have a solid starting rotation and an absolutely deadly bullpen. Can I beat the 1974 Rangers record of 84-76? That’s what we play the games to find out…and regardless of how Pete sets up the schedule, I’ll be playing my first three (and maybe four) series on the road to & from Minnesota.

The Deadly Tautology of Antifa

Posted on | October 11, 2025 | Comments Off on The Deadly Tautology of Antifa

There are a lot of things I’d rather be paying attention to than politics. The Alabama Crimson Tide is facing an unbeaten Missouri team today, and the San Francisco 49ers — with my boy Mac Jones at quarterback — are currently the No. 1 seed in the NFC going into Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Yet the duties of citizenship require me to pay attention to politics at a time when it is literally a matter of life and death. Charlie Kirk was assassinated in broad daylight by a demented leftist who believed his crime was justified as fighting “fascism,” and a similar motive inspired Joshua Jahn, the 29-year-old who opened fire on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas.

People are literally killing because they believe what “Atheist Girl” believes — if you do not support Antifa, you are a fascist. This belief is obviously flawed as a matter of logic. It is a tautology, a circular argument where the first premise is identical to the conclusion. It asserts as fact a proposition which it fails to prove. The supporters of Antifa expect us to accept without question that any person or organization that they label “fascist” actually is what they say it is, and then use this “fascist” labeling to justify lawless violence. What this logic represents, in other words, is a claim to moral authority to kill anyone who disagrees with them.

Question: Where is the evidence of Antifa’s moral superiority? If these people are qualified to make such judgments — to act as a de facto revolutionary tribunal, deciding who is a “fascist” and therefore deserving of violent death — then shouldn’t they present their credentials, so that we may be assured of their bona fides? What we find instead is that Antifa thugs conceal their identities while committing their terrorist deeds, and on those occasions when their identities become known, there is nothing in their biographies to suggest any sort of superiority at all. Antifa militants are not more intelligent or more virtuous than their opponents and, in fact, are quite generally the scum of the earth.

If any of those freaks moved into your neighborhood, you’d immediately put your house up for sale and start loading your furniture into a truck, whereas by comparison, having someone like Charlie Kirk as a neighbor would actually enhance your quality of life. Far from being self-evidently superior to others, the typical Antifa militant is more like proof of the “spiteful mutant” hypothesis. If, as “Atheist Girl” claims, anyone who opposes Antifa is a fascist, then we should all be fascists.

The movement that now calls itself “Antifa” can be traced, properly, to the anarchists who staged the 1999 “Battle in Seattle” riot. If you covered the protest scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s, you recognize the “Black Bloc” garb and provocative tactics of those so-called “direct action” anarchists as continuous with those now employed by “Antifa,” which started in Portland in 2007. It’s the same movement by a different name, and the only reason that “Antifa” has in recent years become so prevalent is because Democrats have insisted on labeling Donald Trump and his supporters fascists (or Nazis or authoritarians), thereby promoting the delusion that the 77 million Americans who voted for Trump are all fascists and thus deserving of death. And therefore . . .

What did they expect? Did the geniuses who applauded the murder of Charlie Kirk believe that there would no consequences? Did they think they could go on rioting and advocating assassination without ever provoking a response? Did they imagine that a majority of the American people would agree with their faulty logic and hateful rhetoric?

The FBI arrested a 69-year-old California man who sent a threatening letter to my friend Benny Johnson. Here is that letter:

(Click here to see it full-size.) On Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi flew down to Tampa for a press conference where the arrest was announced and, I think we must admit, the person who sent this letter is probably not a legitimate threat to Benny Johnson. However, there was no way for Benny to know who had sent this to him and, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, it was prudent to take the threat seriously.

However, in support of my thesis — i.e., that the people calling us “fascists” don’t have any claim to moral superiority — I noticed some interesting information about the man who sent that letter. George Russel Isbell Jr. is the owner of a San Diego porn shop:

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get ready to take my wife to the airport, as she’s going to visit some of our grandchildren for a week. Meanwhile, I’ll be cheering on Alabama — Roll Tide! — and getting ready for Sunday’s big game in Tampa Bay. And I’ll once more remind you that the Five Most Important Words in the English Language are:

HIT THE FREAKING TIP JAR!

Typical Democratic Voter Inadvertently Explains the Great Mystery of Our Time

Posted on | October 8, 2025 | Comments Off on Typical Democratic Voter Inadvertently Explains the Great Mystery of Our Time

Did you ever wonder how the Democratic Party got so crazy? For example, how is it that the governor of Illinois is inciting violent mobs against federal immigration authorities and meanwhile, in Virginia, every Democrat is rallying to the defense of Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who openly fantasized about murdering political opponents?

To summarize briefly: Bad causes attract bad people.

To understand the symbiotic relationship between toxic political movements and their toxic supporters, my advice is to first read Eric Hoffer’s 1951 classic, The True Believer, especially Part 2: “The Potential Converts.” Next, you should read Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom, focusing on Chapter 10, “Why the Worst Get on Top.” Among the personal experiences that led me to comprehend this phenomenon was being swarmed by a mob of “Occupy” protesters in 2011. If you ever had the misfortune to be in close proximity to a zombie horde like that, you would never doubt that the fundamental problem of the Democratic Party is that its grassroots “base” is composed of dangerous lunatics.

If you ever needed a reason to vote Republican, this is it: Democrats are the party of people who celebrate terrorist massacres of innocent Jews.

All of which is preamble to introducing you to the person calling herself “Cloud,” who describes herself as “Pisces / 26 / ATL / Immortal Angel Femboy / Cosplayer” on an Instagram account with approximately 8,000 followers. If ever anyone needed a Kiwi Farms LOLCow file . . .

This summer, “Cloud” went viral with a video denouncing Taylor Swift’s engagement to “MAGA-adjacent” Travis Kelce:

“I can already feel myself regretting making this video. If ten people are sitting at a table, and one of them is a Nazi, and the other nine people are not telling the Nazi to fuck off, then you’re at a table with ten Nazis. When Taylor Swift first started dating Travis Kelce and Travis Kelce was so open about his ‘respect’ for Donald Trump, I already knew we were reaching the beginning of the end, right? When she was posting photos with, like, other NFL wives and girlfriends or whatever, and they were all open MAGAs, and Taylor was happily posing with them on Instagram, I knew we were at the beginning of the end. I just didn’t know how long it would take for the general populace to catch on that it was the beginning of the end. You cannot be friends with people who have different opinions on you when those opinions are life and death for other people — when the Supreme Court ruling today has decided that certain people’s lives are genuinely worth more on paper than others. This is a black-and-white issue. I’m sorry, but there is no nuance when it comes to Trump. You’re either chill with the guy who has death camps in El Salvador or you’re not. And the only reason I’m making this video is because I’ve been very open about how much I love Taylor Swift during the last few years. So I do feel obligated to come on here and say she is MAGA — or at least, MAGA-adjacent. And I’m sorry, as a trans person, if you’re Nazi-adjacent, that’s still a Nazi to me. Do with that info whatever you will.”

Oh, wow — where to begin unraveling this gigantic yarn-ball of dangerous craziness? To start with, the Supreme Court ruling she references (see “NY Times on the Left’s Skrmetti Bungle: ‘Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb’,” June 21) was a consequence of transgender activists overplaying their hand, trying to claim that a state law prohibiting transgender “treatment” for children to be a form of sex-based discrimination that violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pause for a moment to ask yourself whether those who voted to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 intended for it to protect the use of synthetic hormones and surgery to turn children into carnival sideshow freaks. As a legal theory, this is bizarre, and yet “Cloud” (who identifies as a “trans person” despite apparently having undergone no such treatment herself) sees the Skrmetti ruling as “life or death.” This over-the-top rhetoric is entirely consistent with her lazy formula “MAGA = Nazi.” If you don’t vote for Democrats, you are a latter-day Hitler, she contends, and therefore . . . ?

Violence is the logical conclusion of a syllogism built on such premises, and good luck trying to convince Democratic voters that their belief system is based on dubious premises and fallacies. Having convinced themselves that they are “on the right side of history,” they consider it a hate crime to disagree with them. This fanaticism attracts bad people to the Democratic Party banner, and the bad people expect their party to represent their beliefs, which is why the Democrats are so crazy.

How can any sober person take seriously a party which attracts support from — and claims to represent the interests of — both transgender perverts and Islamic jihadists? “Queers for Palestine” sounds like the punch-line of a Monty Python sketch, but it’s both very real and very much a constituency of the Democratic Party. And nobody in the party is permitted to point this out. For the sake of maintaining unity, Democrats are required to pretend that these kooks are perfectly rational, and so while there is a constant intake of nutjobs, Democrats simultaneously suffer an exodus of sane people who simply get tired of playing along with this craziness. So this cosplay personality “Cloud” is not merely a typical Democratic voter, but is the typical Democratic voter.

She is the sine qua non of the Democratic Party’s existence, the vital linchpin holding together the coalition, and her attitude — Taylor Swift must be denounced because she is “MAGA-adjacent” — is basically the party platform now. This is what all Democrats believe. Cancel culture has become the top item on their policy agenda, and it is foolish to expect Democrats to turn back from their Progressive March Toward Totalitarian Conformity, because anyone who might disagree is banished.

It would be easy to laugh at the Party of Ugly Glasses and Questionable Hairstyle Choices, were it not for the fact that 75 million Americans voted for Democrats in the last election, and it’s entirely possible that Democrats will win a congressional majority in next year’s midterms.
