Rebekah Jones: Still Lying

Posted on | August 13, 2021 | Comments Off on Rebekah Jones: Still Lying

Today my podcast partner John Hoge was in Montgomery County court for the final dismissal of the fake criminal charges that disgraced former Florida health department employee Rebekah Jones filed against Christina Pushaw, who wrote a brutal takedown of Jones and has since become press secretary for Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Because there was never any factual basis for the charges against Pushaw, the case was nolle prosequi, and the hearing today was a formality.

Alas, some Trump-hating clown in Miami named Grant Stern, who is trying to play “investigative reporter” with a Substack blog, decided that because (a) Christina Pushaw works for DeSantis then (b) any charges against her must have merit, and therefore (c) believe Rebekah Jones! Or such would seem to be Stern’s syllogism, anyway. Lots of amateurs out there playing “investigative journalist” don’t know any more about logic than they do about journalism, much less libel law, so it should be noted that I am merely expressing an opinion when I characterize Stern’s thinking process, but as for the fact that Stern is a clown, I think his big red nose and floppy shoes are sufficient evidence.

Charles C.W. Cooke rips Stern and Jones to tatters here.

Never believe a word Rebekah Jones says. If she say it’s up, it is almost certainly down. She is not only dishonest, she is crazy.

In short, Rebekah Jones is the Deb Frisch of Michael Avenattis.

Number 10 for the Win

Posted on | August 13, 2021 | Comments Off on Number 10 for the Win

Is Mac Jones ready for the NFL? Oh, hell, yes.

Everybody was impressed with Mac’s first appearance Thursday night as the New England Patriots opened their preseason at home against the Washington Football Team (pronouns: they/them).

My brother Kirby is convinced that Mac is going to be an NFL star, but years of covering politics has made me wary of getting my expectations too high, so I just kept telling Kirby, “We’ll see.” And on Thursday afternoon, while I was out walking the dogs, the thought crossed my mind: No interceptions, no fumbles, no injuries — a modest thing to hope for, or perhaps to pray for, if you think God cares about football.

Thank God, then, Mac met my expectations. He played five series, including two drives that ended in field goals, completing 13 of 19 passes. But his best pass of the game was one of those incompletions. On first and 10 from the Washington 34, Jones sent wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson on a go route down the left sideline and threw a picture-perfect pass to the end zone that Wilkerson somehow dropped.

Mac Jones dropped this ball into a bucket. Should have been caught for a touchdown, nonetheless great throw. (Via @FTBVids_YT) pic.twitter.com/BK6Z0FNNKf

— Pats Buzz (@PatsBuzz) August 13, 2021

Talk about threading the needle! As Henry McKenna of USA Today pointed out, this pass was aimed so perfectly that the defensive back didn’t have play — only the receiver could have caught it. Forty-five yards on the fly, dead on target and, as every ’Bama fan must be telling themselves, “Devonta Smith would have caught that one.”

You know who was impressed with Mac Jones? Cam Newton, that’s who:

New England Patriots rookie Mac Jones made his NFL debut in Thursday night’s preseason victory over the Washington Football Team but the former Alabama standout turned to the team’s veteran for some pointers.
Cam Newton, who started the first quarter before turning over the reins to Jones, told reporters after the game that Jones came to him before kickoff for advice.
“He came and talked to me, and we talked it out about just his expectation. Every young quarterback goes through it — the excitement, the anticipation,” Newton said. “He wants to be so perfect, and I see his preparation is always pristine. That’s what I admire about him.” . . .
“For him and today’s performance he’s just going to keep getting better. And we’re gonna be here for each other along this whole process and that’s what we’re here for.”

Wow, that’s gracious. It’s a very awkward situation at New England, where Belichik traded up in the draft to pick Jones 15th in the first round, and everybody’s talking about the rookie as the future of the franchise. Meanwhile, here’s Cam Newton — who was himself a first-round draft pick 10 years ago, but hobbled by injuries before being picked up as a free agent by the Patriots last year — as the veteran starting QB, basically expected to train Jones as his replacement. Cam Newton took the Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl just five years ago, and so his situation at New England has got to be somewhat embarrassing, having to fight for his job against a mere rookie. It’s a mark of maturity on Cam’s part that he’s handling this situation without complaint, and apparently without any hard feelings toward Jones.

Did I mention that Cam played for Auburn? I don’t know if the Auburn-Alabama rivalry has any impact on how two pro players on the same team get along, but hate is not too strong a word to describe the attitudes that pervade this rivalry. “Sorry about your trees, Auburn.”

People sometimes make the mistake of thinking I’m a football fan, and I have to correct them: “No, I’m an Alabama fan.” It’s different.

Normally, I don’t pay much attention to the NFL, but with Mac Jones expected to be the Second Coming of Tom Brady at New England, I guess I’ll be following the Patriots from now on. Roll Tide!

CUOMO ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION

Posted on | August 10, 2021 | Comments Off on CUOMO ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION

Wow! This just happened on live TV without any forewarning. First, the lawyer for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo did a long defense presentation criticizing the investigation of him, and then the governor came on with a statement that began with him sounding like he was preparing to dig in and hold onto office. So I turned the sound down and went back to work, but then my brother Kirby walked in and looked at my office TV and said, “Cuomo resigns.” What the hell?

UPDATE: Brittany Bernstein reports at National Review:

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday, saying he would like to spare New Yorkers the distraction of a protracted impeachment inquiry.
“I work for you and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you because as we say, it’s not about me, it’s about we,” Cuomo said in a televised address, adding that his resignation would be effective in two weeks.
He said that fighting back against the “politically motivated” attack on him would throw New York into months of turmoil and “I cannot be the cause of that.”
“The best way I can help now is if I step aside and let government get back to government,” the 63-year-old three-term governor said.
Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul will become the state’s first female governor.
“I agree with Governor Cuomo’s decision to step down. It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers,” tweeted 62-year-old Hochul, who previously served as a member of Congress.
Ahead of his resignation on Tuesday, Cuomo said he takes “fully responsibility” for his actions, though he continued to defend himself, saying he had “never crossed the line with anyone.”
“I have slipped and called people ‘honey, ’sweetheart’ and ‘darling.’ I mean it to be endearing but women found it dated and offensive,” he said. “I take full responsibility for my actions. I have been too familiar with people. My sense of humor can be insensitive and off-putting.”
“In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone but I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn,” Cuomo added. “There are generational and cultural shifts that I just didn’t fully appreciate and I should have — no excuses.”

(Hat-tip: Ed Driscoll at Instapundit.) Most guys our age — I’m a couple of years younger than Cuomo — could actually sympathize if (and it’s a big “if,” so big as to be a farfetched speculation) all Cuomo did was make jokes or behave in ways that could be politely deemed “flirtatious.”

Once upon a time, perhaps as recently as 20 or 25 years ago, men and women were allowed to joke around in the workplace in ways that now seem to be automatically construed as “harassment” — at least when men do it. I suppose women are still allowed to joke around, but apparently an “insensitive” joke is now grounds for immediate termination, if a guy does it. It’s been a dozen years since I had a regular office job, so my understanding of workplace protocol may be obsolete, but judging from news coverage of “harassment” in the #MeToo era, any young man would be best advised never to speak to any woman in the office, if he could possibly avoid it, and certainly no man should ever make a joke at work, if a woman is within earshot. Be a serious as a 17th-century Puritan in Salem — that’s the only way for a man to survive the contemporary workplace climate. Keep your mouth shut and never make eye contact with a woman at the office. Strive to be invisible.

All that said, women have accused Cuomo of behavior that “crossed the line” by anyone’s standards, and I suspect he just thought he could get away with groping every cute young thing within reach.

You know, like Joe Biden, who is allegedly President of the United States?

UPDATE II: As at least one commenter has reminded me, just yesterday I expected Cuomo to ride it out, the way Ralph Northam rode out that KKK/blackface scandal. But beyond this latest failure of my crystal ball, the real mystery is, “Why now?” Cuomo has been in public office since 1993, and was the New York state attorney general (2007-2010) before becoming governor, and has been re-elected governor twice, in 2014 and 2018. Recall that the #MeToo movement was a gigantic public bonfire in 2018, incinerating the reputations and careers of dozens of famous or powerful men, so how was it that Andrew Cuomo — now accused of being a serial groper — had no trouble getting re-elected in 2018?

Why was Cuomo destroyed by scandal this year, and not previously? What can explain this timing? My guess — and it’s only a guess — is that it might be somehow related to Cuomo, who divorced his wife in 2005, breaking up with his girlfriend Sandra Lee in 2019. That is to say, whatever offenses Cuomo may have committed during his first two terms as governor, he wasn’t actually on the hunt then. But the past two years, since breaking up with Lee, Cuomo’s lechery has gone too far, because (a) he’s desperate and (b) he’s 15 years older than he was the last time he was on the dating market. That’s my best theory, although I would not argue with anyone who suspects there was some kind of arcane political conspiracy involved. Because Democrats are like that.

Let me get out ahead of this rapidly unfolding story to state, for the record, that Andrew Cuomo did not commit suicide.
