Sports News From Wokeville, USA

Posted on | January 19, 2021 | Comments Off on Sports News From Wokeville, USA

What do NFL players think their anti-white message will produce? Because to accuse someone of thinking in stereotypes is a deliberate insult. What such an accusation really means is, “You are ignorant. You are morally and intellectually inferior, and therefore in need of tutelage.”

NFL players are saying this to their own audience. They are accusing NFL fans of racial prejudice. So the people whose patronage pays the bills are treated like grade-school children, lectured by a bunch of multi-millionaire athletes, accusing NFL fans of being racial bigots.

It’s a short trip from Wokeville to Brokeville, I’m told.

FNC Fires Scapegoat Chris Stirewalt — and Their VP for News ‘Retires’

Posted on | January 19, 2021 | Comments Off on FNC Fires Scapegoat Chris Stirewalt — and Their VP for News ‘Retires’

You’ve got to hand it to Trump — he’s like Obi-Wan Kenobi. Strike him down, and he becomes more powerful than ever. We all remember the catastrophic moment on Election Night, when Chris Stirewalt called Arizona for Biden, and Bret Baier was like, “WTF, Fat Boy?”

Bret Baier: “But Chris, we haven’t called Texas yet. Why haven’t we called Texas?”
Chris Stirewalt: “Because it’s too close to call.”

That was what poker players would call a “tell.” When all the votes were counted (and I don’t mean to say that these numbers are entirely legit), the official tallies for Arizona and Texas looked like this:

Arizona …. 3.4 million total votes …… margin 10,457 (0.3%)
Texas …… 11.3 million total votes …. margin 631,221 (5.6%)

You see what I’m saying? Trump won Texas by nearly 6% — a margin of more than 600,000 votes — but Texas was “too close to call,” according to Chris Stirewalt who, at the same time, claimed to know that Biden would win Arizona, where the margin proved to be microscopic.

So now Chris Stirewalt has been “laid off” by Fox in a “restructuring” of their staff — did you see me roll my eyes at that? Meanwhile, the vice-president in charge of the news division at Fox has decided now is a good time to “retire” (my eyes just rolled completely out of my head).

Don’t look now, but Ace of Spades is dancing like the Ewoks in the final scene of Return of the Jedi. Shizzle done got fo’ real, bro.

UPDATE: Not to take pleasure in the misfortune of others, but Emerald Robinson just called Stirewalt “the Liz Cheney of Chuck Todds” and that there’s funny, I don’t care who you are.

Don’t Worry, I Haven’t Been Captured by Our Alien Reptilian Overlords … Yet

Posted on | January 19, 2021 | Comments Off on Don’t Worry, I Haven’t Been Captured by Our Alien Reptilian Overlords … Yet

Because I didn’t post anything Monday, I’m sure some of our readers were worried that the shape-shifting alien Lizard People had gotten me. But no, I was just busy doing other stuff Monday, and I apologize if my silence caused any unnecessary concern. Our nation’s capital is full of troops, barricades and barbed wire for the presidential inauguration of (the suspiciously lizard-like) Joe Biden, and we’re not supposed to mention how weird this situation is. Pretend like we don’t notice.

“Nothing says ‘normal, legitimate election’ like
a swearing-in behind 12 feet of razor wire and
25,000 troops that you’re not sure you can trust.”

Welcome to the New Normal. Did I mention that our reptilian President-elect named a Richard “Rachel” Levine to a top federal health position?

You must pretend that this is completely normal. If you say otherwise, you could be banned from social media and maybe fired from your job.

The New Normal means living in make-believe as if it were reality, a sort of fantasy cosplay. Richard Levine is a woman, Joe Biden won a majority of the vote in Georgia and Wisconsin and the greatest danger to American democracy is the 74 million people who voted to re-elect Trump:

Wednesday will mark the four-year anniversary of the violent Antifa riots in Washington, D.C., when hundreds of anarchists wreaked havoc in our nation’s capital on Inauguration Day, declaring themselves the #Resistance to President Trump. Our media overlords now expect Americans to forget the Left’s deranged reaction to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat, because this does not fit the current narrative, in which anyone who didn’t vote for Joe Biden is viewed as a potential terrorist threat.
Biden will be inaugurated amid a climate of paranoia, surrounded by a phalanx of military security so enormous as to dwarf the number of troops that we currently have stationed in Afghanistan. This unprecedented level of security is necessary, our media overlords tell us, because of the rowdy crowd of Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol two weeks ago. Viewers of CNN and MSNBC have been told repeatedly that what happened on January 6 was an “insurrection,” an attempted “coup,” by dangerous extremists who (a) arrived in Washington with carefully organized plans to destroy Democracy as We Know It and (b) were incited to this seditious attack by what Trump said in his speech at a “Stop the Steal” rally.
There are obvious problems with this narrative. If the riot at the Capitol was planned in advance, how then were the rioters “incited” by what Trump said? . . .

Read the rest of my latest column at The American Spectator. But don’t tell anyone you’ve been reading the truth about what’s happening.

The Lizard People might be listening.

Rule 5 Sunday: Julie Strain, RIP

Posted on | January 18, 2021 | Comments Off on Rule 5 Sunday: Julie Strain, RIP

— compiled by Wombat-socho

This week we pay tribute to the late Julie Strain, who died last week from complications of early-onset dementia, believed to be caused by a head injury sustained in a fall from a horse in her 20s. After being named Penthouse Pet of the Month in June 1991 and Pet of the Year for 1993, Julie appeared in over 100 movies, earning her the title of “Queen of the B Movies”; her best-known role was as the voice of the eponymous heroine in Heavy Metal 2000. She is also recognizable as the model for a ton of paintings by Julie Bell, Olivia de Berardinis, and Boris Vallejo, and did modeling for photographers as well. Here she is doing a pretty decent Bettie Page impression.

Modern Motherhood, Florida-Style

Posted on | January 17, 2021 | Comments Off on Modern Motherhood, Florida-Style

Headline from the Tampa Tribune:

Florida woman has abandoned three babies
at apartment complexes since 2016, police say

I include that headline so that Stephen Green doesn’t miss this story in his next “Florida Man Friday” roundup. The details:

Investigators have identified the biological mother of three newborns who’ve been found at apartment complexes in the Orlando area since 2016, police said.
Previous DNA testing had confirmed that the babies were siblings, and investigators connected with their mother through additional testing late last year, Orlando police Lt. Frank Chisari told reporters Wednesday morning.
The mother currently has several other children in her care, police said.
Investigators are working with the state attorney’s office to determine what charges may be brought against the woman, who police did not publicly identify.
Chisari added that the woman appeared to have abandoned the babies out of “pure desperation.”
The most recent baby was found in July 2019 with a note that said she left the baby because she feared the child’s father, news outlets reported.
The first baby was found in 2016, and the second was found in 2017.
Chisari declined to say whether the father has been identified.
“It seems like somebody who was just at the end of their rope,” Chisari told reporters.
He said the woman learned she was pregnant at a late stage during all three pregnancies, and kept it a secret before delivering the children in private.
“I guess she watched a lot of YouTube videos,” Chisari said, describing how the children were delivered discreetly, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

If she “currently has several other children in her care,” but “feared the child’s father” to such an extent that she has abandoned three babies, doesn’t this suggest a serious domestic violence situation?

There must be a fascinating story behind this, and you might expect that journalists would do the footwork necessary to get that backstory, rather than simply quoting what police said at a press conference. What factor could possibly explain this lack of journalistic curiosity?
