Democrats’ Confederacy of Dunces
Posted By: Hazymac, 5/21/2025 7:06:40 AM
Three hundred years ago, the remarkable satirist Jonathan Swift wrote, “When a true Genius appears in the World, you may know him by this infallible Sign; that the Dunces are all in Confederacy against him.” Now, you might not be President Trump’s biggest fan. Perhaps you are glad that he has returned to the White House but look forward to one of his capable lieutenants succeeding him in four years. But I would argue that never has a larger collection of absolute idiots assembled to oppose an American leader, and for that reason alone, Donald J. Trump is probably a genius. (And a very stable one at that!)

A lift too far: Decision pending
3 replies
The author of Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed-the-Plow, and American Buffalo, David Mamet may be our greatest living playwright. His new book is The Disenglightenment: Politics, Horror, and Entertainment (don’t spellcheck me, bro). Andrew Ferguson told the story of Mamet’s turn to conservatism in the 2004 Weekly Standard article “Converting Mamet.” Making the rounds to support his new book, Mamet offered this truth blast last night on Jesse Watters Primetime. (X) Which reminds me.
On the local front I have sought to draw attention to the case of JayCee Cooper v. USA Powerlifting in several posts accessible here. The case raises the question
There are few doubts in the White House about Jill “Lady Macbeth” Biden’s role in covering up her husband’s cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made that point crystal clear from the press room podium Thursday, saying the former first lady “needs to answer” for “lying to the American people” and “shielding her husband away from the cameras.”
For the normally circumspect Leavitt, it was a damning indictment. “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw and what she knew,” she told reporters at
The Extreme Tolerance For Black Racism
11 replies
Piers Morgan, in a February podcast, accused his guest, "trans activist" Blossom Brown, of "race-baiting." Brown replied, "Black women cannot be racist to white women." Brown then added this inability to be racist to white women extended to Morgan: "How am I racist to you? I'm Black. I can't be racist to you." Brown also accused Morgan of lacking "the intellectual capacity to understand" this position.
Ryan Clark is a black ESPN host. After Donald Trump won reelection, he posted a video in which he said he voted for Kamala Harris, that former President Barack Obama's administration was "scandal free"

Israel supporters marching at a memorial walk for the hostages still being held by Hamas were attacked with Molotov cocktails on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Videos of the aftermath are already circulating, and an alleged assailant is in custody.
The terror attack took place in Boulder, CO, just hours after the mainstream press, including CNN, the Associated Press, Fox News, and others, spread a fake story about Israeli soldiers massacring Gazans at an aid distribution center. (X) While officials from Boulder, a notoriously left-wing city, urged people not to jump to conclusions, there is no doubt what the motive was.
You probably could guess we'd be hitting the apex of hypocrisy from those on the left in the wake of Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) making a "Nazi salute" Saturday at a California Democrat event.
Now, of course, it wasn't a Nazi salute. But it's the same thing the left and their acolytes in media tried to spin into a Nazi salute when Elon Musk did it. (X) So if they were to have any consistency at all with their "Democrat rules" on the matter, they should have condemned Booker. But of course, they didn't. Because for them, the real "rule" is "D" - Democrat equals we don't do anything
Not content with claiming the Earth is going to spontaneously combust if all the world's nations don't send their residents back to the Stone Age, climate change activist Greta Thunberg is now headed to Gaza. As is always the case with communists, the cause is never the cause. It's just a means to an end, so the target is constantly shifting. Thunberg has decided that donning a keffiyeh and falsely screaming "genocide" will garner her the most attention at this moment.
In her latest stunt, she is now on a sailboat from Italy that is supposedly headed to Gaza to "break the siege."
PolitiFact threw another "False" flag on their mountain of 1,095 Donald Trump "fact checks" on Wednesday. The dispute was whether Harvard gave the Department of Homeland Security the information they requested on their foreign students. They cited a recent press gaggle with the president: "Part of the problem with Harvard is that there are about 31% of foreigners coming to Harvard ... but they refuse to tell us who the people are," Trump told reporters May 25. "We want a list of those foreign students and we'll find out whether or not they're OK. Many will be OK, I assume. And I assume with Harvard many will be bad."

Sometimes, the smartest PR strategy is to tell the truth. It happens a lot that, of all the options available, telling the truth is your best choice.
Clients hate that!
“Why the hell am I paying you money if I’m just gonna tell the truth?! I could’ve done that on my own!” They’re disappointed if there’s no smoke, mirrors, or magic act.
Alas, most of the time, a client’s PR options are finite. The “facts on the ground” almost always limit your choices. I can’t “sell” a story that isn’t credible, so reality keeps you grounded — especially in an outcome-based endeavor like PR.

Board They Have to Face the Music in Trump
Defamation Suit 4 replies
Donald Trump got some good news from a Florida judge Wednesday: his lawsuit against the Pulitzer Board may continue, meaning he can carry on his quest to hold them accountable for first issuing prizes to the New York Times and the Washington Post for their fake Russia-Russia-Russia coverage and then doubling down by claiming that there was no false information in any of those outlets’ stories.
No proof of Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign was ever produced, and the Robert Mueller investigation ended with a thud and no charges, yet the Board stood by their decision. They even commissioned a review of the Post and Times’ stories
Keith Olbermann unwisely took a jab at former NCAA star swimmer Riley Gaines over her athleticism. It didn't work out very well for him.
Olbermann, who has a history of going after prominent conservative-leaning women on social media from the safety of his basement studio, opted to take a shot at Gaines after Education Secretary Linda McMahon suggested she would have won her race had it not been for a biological male participating in the event.
"She finished 85th in the Olympic Trials," he responded. "She finished tied for 5th in the only race including a transgendered athlete. If there had been none, she MIGHT have finished tied for 4th,
When an industry requires endless subsidization, that means it’s signaling a lack of potential—both short-term and long-term—so it’s *probably* a bad investment.
According to Matt Oliver at The Telegraph, new numbers from the electric vehicle industry show that these cars are depreciating rapidly, much faster than their gasoline counterparts; after just two years of ownership, these cars are worth less than half of what their owners originally paid. (I mean, we tried telling them these were foolish purchases, but they didn’t want to listen.) Here’s this, per Oliver:
A typical EV now retains only 49pc of its value after 24 months, a sharp decline from 83pc as recently as 2022,
Poor, poor Michelle Obama. The former First Lady has to decide which of her three multi-million dollar estates to spend the night in. She has to deal with a fawning leftist press that treats her like she’s some sort of goddess. Her husband was once one of the most widely adored politicians on the planet, she never has to work another day in her life if she doesn’t want to, and she has two grown children who are healthy and apparently happy.
But it’s all so stressful.
Lately, for reasons only known to herself, she’s been podcasting with her brother on a low-rated show called "IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,"

David Brooks likens Musk to Pol Pot, Mao

Author and political commentator David Brooks sparked outrage and calls for the defunding of PBS after outrageous comments about Elon Musk.
The New York Times columnist likened the billionaire Tesla CEO to infamous mass murderers in history on “PBS Newshour” as he blasted the cuts to USAID under Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency.
“So far, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected; 6,000 children are dead because of what DOGE did. That’s just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead, and we’re four months in,” Brooks claimed.
Hundreds of peonies were vandalized at a University of Michigan garden at the peak of the flowers' bloom time.
The vandalism happened late Saturday and was discovered Wednesday at the WE Upjohn Peony Garden in the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security said officers found that about 250 peony plants of the garden's roughly 800 peony plants had most of their flowers appear to have been intentionally cut and left behind on the ground, with the scene surprising both garden staff and visitors.
University police say no group has been identified or taken credit for the vandalism, but
Schumer Demands Apology from Elon Musk
21 replies
Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on outgoing Trump administration official and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to apologize for measures taken by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“He says he’s in a bind,” Schumer said. “The American people are in a bind because of what Musk did. His DOGE, which, you know, didn’t go, didn’t do as much as he wanted it to do, but still did huge amounts of damage in terms of the firing of employees, the decimation of agencies like health care, like going after, making sure drugs and food is safe, nuclear energy is safe.
First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible.
Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance.
The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just exploit a vulnerability by targeting Russian long-range nuclear capable bombers?
“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” The phrase is often attributed to Winston Churchill, as well as former Barack Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) is apparently taking that message to heart and is using Sunday’s tragic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado by a deranged antisemite against marchers from the American Jewish group "Run for Their Lives" to push for an agenda that has nothing to do with the assault: gun control.
If only we could get rid of those dreaded "military style assault weapons," attacks like this wouldn't happen.
The problem with his mind-boggling assessment? No guns were used in the attack.

Republican strategist Scott Jennings pushed back hard when podcast host Tara Palmeri claimed during a Sunday debate that political violence was an equivalent issue on “both sides” of the aisle.
Jennings said on “The Tara Palmeri Show” that one recommendation he would give Democrats is to dispose of their “violent tendencies,” noting the vandalism against Tesla that spiked due to Elon Musk’s involvement with President Donald Trump’s administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Palmeri interrupted to refute his claim that political violence is a left-wing problem by bringing up the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, but Jennings noted that it was “one bad day” rather than a pattern.
Representative Maxine Waters' campaign has been hit with a $68,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after an investigation found that it accepted and disbursed contributions exceeding allowable amounts.
The violations involved Citizens for Waters accepting $19,000 in excessive contributions from multiple individuals, exceeding the $2,800 individual limit, as well as making $7,000 worth of “prohibited cash disbursements” from a petty cash fund, all during the 2020 election cycle.
The group's treasurer, referred to as the "committee" in the FEC filing, is accused of "knowingly accepting excessive contributions" and "failing to accurately report both receipts and disbursements made."
UK to build up to 12 new attack submarines
15 replies
The UK will build "up to" 12 new attack submarines, the prime minister will announce, as the government unveils its major defence review on Monday.
The new conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines will replace the seven-strong Astute class from the late 2030s onwards.
The review is expected to recommend the armed forces move to "warfighting readiness" to deter growing threats faced by the UK.
The prime minister is also expected to confirm the UK will spend £15bn on its nuclear warhead programme.
Sir Keir will say that, alongside the UK's nuclear-armed submarines, the new vessels would keep "Britain and Nato safe for decades".
If the Biden regime hadn’t inundated the country with illegal migrants, and if leftist judges hadn’t done all they could to stymie the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, the Boulder terrorist attack on Sunday might never have happened.
The attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, screamed “Free Palestine” and threw Molotov cocktails at people who were peacefully standing for Israel in Boulder, Colorado Sunday night, injuring eight. Like Yasser Arafat, Soliman is a Palestinian activist who actually doesn’t hail from any Palestinian area: also like Arafat, Soliman is from Egypt. The Biden regime gave Soliman a visa, and he entered the U.S. on Aug. 27, 2022. By the time he carried out his attack,

A Michigan antisemite was plotting to massacre kids at a Jewish daycare and tried to illegally buy assault weapons after hurling threats at the preschoolers, federal prosecutors have revealed.
Hassan Chokr, 35, was out on bail when he drove through the parking lot of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, outside Detroit, and shouted antisemitic slurs and threats as parents dropped off their kids in December 2022, authorities said.
He pleaded guilty to federal gun charges on May 28.
US Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr said Chokr’s attempted gun purchase was part of what authorities believe was a larger plot “to follow through on his menacing threats against parents and preschoolers
Leaked medical tests reportedly show that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won Olympic gold as a female boxer in Paris last year, has “male karyotypes” and may not qualify as a female for the 2027 Olympics after the new gender test requirement comes into force.
Khelif dominated all female opponents to win the gold in women’s boxing at the 2024 event. Still, the win was marred by controversy because the Algerian had been disqualified from competing as a female in 2022 and 2023 by the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to concerns about the validity of Khelif’s gender tests.
