The use of plural pronouns (“they/them”) to refer to a single person has insidiously crept into our language. This practice is especially common in mass media publications and other establishment writings. It is more than a mere passing fad. It is time for us to understand what this trend really means for all of us. One recent example I noticed was linked by msn.com and included the headline, “Non-Binary Ex-Biden Staffer Sam Brinton's Family Calls Them A Liar, Claims Their Abuse Story Never Happened.” The headline is incomprehensible by traditional rules of grammar. The reader would not know who is meant by “Them” and “Their.”

The Oakland Athletics, who claim to be a major league baseball team, announced Wednesday: “The A’s have signed a binding agreement to purchase land for a future ballpark in Las Vegas. We realize this is a difficult day for our Oakland fans,” all five of them, “and community.” Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao underlined the team’s statement by revealing that the city was “ceasing negotiations” with the A’s on a new ballpark. The move is going to take a while: the Athletics don’t expect to be playing in Vegas until the 2027 season, but it does appear certain that woke Oakland is about to lose its third and last

An interesting argument from an even more interesting source, considering that the Wall Street Journal shares an owner with Fox News. News of the utterly predictable decision by the Murdochs to settle the Dominion defamation suit prompted wailing and gnashing of teeth from competitors and journalists throughout the land, who had wanted the court to force Fox and its hosts to admit on the air that they lied about “stop the steal.” WSJ’s editors quote Politico’s overwrought observation that “hopes were dashed — dreams torpedoed” as “hilariously revealing,” but as I noted yesterday, they were hardly alone in weeping over a lost apology.
“Dreams torpedoed,” though? Come on, man.

Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) A quick look around at what’s going on in Washington reveals that the Democrats aren’t a real healthy group of people. The man masquerading as President of the United States of America is just as likely wax on and on about gargoyles slathering scented oils on his recently shaven torso as he is about policy during a speech.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein — the oldest member of the Senate — has been physically out of commission since February.
And Pennsylvania freshman Sen. John Fetterman just returned from his lengthy absence to deal with his physical and mental health (but probably really just his physical health).

Of course ghosts exist.
Before dismissing the idea as absurd, consider that ghosts always come from the past. You can’t have a ghost from the future. But the past speaks to us all the time. We expect things to be where we left them, unless something caused them to move because causality is the foundation of reality. Causes precede their effects and effects follow causes, or so we think. Perhaps the most famous literary exposition of this idea was Ray Bradbury’s story “A Sound of Thunder.” A party of time travelers go into the past to hunt dinosaurs. Someone steps on a butterfly and changes the whole future.

Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) has finally returned to Capitol Hill, having spent most of his tenure as a U.S. senator at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center being treated for clinical depression. Fetterman was discharged on March 31. While it’s good that he’s progressed with mental health issues, we haven’t forgotten about the lingering cognitive impairments that became a major issue of the campaign, as it was clear to anyone that this man wasn’t fit to serve in the U.S. Senate.
His May 2022 stroke left him incapacitated for weeks, and he was lucky to survive. Despite this, he chose to continue campaigning, which could have potentially led

A short time back, our editor-in-chief said that there had been a school shooting in Nashville, and asked if anyone would cover it. I wrote the first story about it for PJ Media. It wasn’t the first time I had ever written about human tragedy or cruelty. And I have hated doing it every time. I always feel like Judas collecting his 30 pieces of silver from someone else’s suffering.
Be that as it may, the Nashville shooting mattered, and not just because it gave the Left more talking points about the evils of gun ownership. After all, if we are being honest, the Left can come up with talking points

Oakland has always been a gritty city—the tough-luck twin to wealthy San Francisco. Under newly elected Alameda County District Attorney Pam Price, Oakland could be headed for a fate much darker than gritty. Price has been following the de-prosecution and decarceration playbook of radical district attorneys across the United States. If she stays on that course, Oakland is in for a “hella tough time,” to use the language of the Bay Area.
Price took office this year with no prior experience as a prosecutor, having spent her entire career as a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer. If that sounds familiar, it should: Price’s background matches the career history

Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, where the American dollars are crisp and clean, has just dodged a bullet. This one didn’t come from Russia; the shot was self-inflicted. Mayor Vitali Klitschko overruled the city council and a popular vote of city dwellers to prevent the naming of a street after a World War II-era Nazi collaborator.
The European Jewish Press reported Wednesday that the city “wanted to name a street after Volodymyr Kubiyovych, a Nazi collaborator and SS official,” until Klitschko, apparently mindful of how bad this looks in the West, stepped in and put a kibosh on the plan. Until his intervention, everything was going swimmingly:

International legal “experts” — backed by the United Nations — have released a report stating sex with minors is perfectly acceptable.
“Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law,” according to the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ). You can read that part for yourself on page 12.
FACT-O-RAMA! The pedo-loving report is called “The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex, Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty.”
The shocking legal “recommendations” were released purposely last month on March 8, which is International Women’s Day.

On April 26, 2021, we predicted the current inflation before it began. Now we are predicting an upcoming stock market crash, and we even know the date that it will take place. Interviewer Margaret Brennan and European Central Bank President Christine LaGarde gave the date away during their conversation on "Face the Nation" on April 16: (Snip) The Democrats have scheduled the stock market crash to take place the day that House Republicans vote to not raise the debt ceiling. Right afterwards, the Biden Administration will declare a temporary “default” on the U.S. Debt, the stock market and bond market will immediately crash, and Republicans will be blamed.

This is not an incorrect headline.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) has, of course, consistently blamed criticism of her performance in office on sexism like any good neoliberal politician would. But she also recently piloted a new little victimization narrative for herself by complaining about racism, just to shake things up.
Porter’s recent cry of racism comes in the context of her travels through the corporate media circuit to promote herself as demented Dianne Feinstein’s replacement as one of California’s two senators.
As part of her campaign, Porter graced ABC’s The View, toxic cesspit of performative feminism that it is, for a daytime TV propaganda tour.
