Friday Grab Bag
TGIF, right?
It’s Friday and I don’t feel like coming up with a headline. That’s okay, right? You understand. Thanks for being cool about it. You’re a good person or you wouldn’t be reading this.
The Department of Homeland Security just created something called the “Disinformation Governance Board.” Apparently, “Ministry of Truth” was too on-the-nose. All they can do anymore is scream about Russia, yet now they’ve dreamed up a propaganda org with the initials DGB. Great branding, geniuses!
I can’t put it any better than this:
Dems just spent four years screaming about the government because they weren’t in charge of it. Then they forgot all about that and immediately started amassing power again, which inevitably will be handed over to their enemies the next time the Dems are voted out of office. They never think about that, because thinking isn’t really what they do. As soon as their foes grab the levers of power the left has assembled, they’ll just start screaming about “fascism.”
The woman in charge of the DGB is, of course, a liar:
More like Disinformation Dissemination Board.
Oh, Joe Biden is doing just fine. Why do you ask?
A lot of people get paid a lot of money to pretend this guy still has all his marbles. Most of them call themselves journalists.
For years, the great Drew Holden has been using Twitter to present solid evidence of the left’s hypocrisy and dishonesty, and recently the Washington Free Beacon was smart enough to hire him. His latest is titled “How the Media Built the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Narrative.” He shows you how this lie got started and how it spread.
There’s no such thing as a “Don’t Say Gay” law, at least not in the United States of America. Anybody who tells you otherwise is a liar and can’t be trusted.
I don’t want to say the libs are having a tough time accepting the idea of Elon Musk buying Twitter, but now they’re fact-checking memes.
Yesterday, Musk tweeted this:
Courtesy of Colin Wright:
Kinda funny, right?
WRONG!!!
Within a few hours, Philip Bump at the Bezos Post rebutted this dangerous disinformation that threatens the very fabric of our republic and so forth:
Except the whole premise of Bump’s rebuttal is moronically false, as usual:
Doesn’t matter. The journos have their orders. The billionaires who pay them are terrified that a rival billionaire will permit people to publicly admit chromosomes exist and so does Hunter Biden’s laptop. Musk must be destroyed before he allows free speech on Twitter and ruins all their plans.
So now everybody in the White House is getting COVID-19, yet the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner is still scheduled for tomorrow.
How many Americans weren’t even allowed to hold funerals for their loved ones over the last two years? Now we’ve got skyrocketing inflation, high gas prices, an ongoing disaster at our southern border, Americans still abandoned in Afghanistan, and Biden’s lifelong foreign policy ineptitude haunting him as Ukraine is ground into dust under the boot of a tyrant. Hell, Biden’s own crackhead, hooker-hopping offspring is even under federal investigation for money laundering. It’s the most disastrous, scandal-plagued administration of my adult life.
And now Joe’s gonna yuk it up with the rest of those corrupt pigs at this superspreader event.
The pandemic is over and I refuse to be scolded about it anymore.
Remember that movie about a robot that killed a bunch of people? And that other movie about a robot that killed a bunch of people? And then that other movie about a robot that killed a bunch of people?
The guys who make robots don’t:
What could go wrong?
Gotta admit, though, getting killed by a robot dog would be totally metal. Literally!
Apparently a handful of nerds are demanding that Disney fire Chris Pratt from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies because… I dunno, he’s a Christian? He might be a Republican?
Whatever. It’s dumb. And to his credit, James Gunn is saying so:
Good. I’m glad he’s changed his mind about this sort of thing. He wasn’t so tolerant a few years ago, when Roseanne Barr was fired from her ABC show for a bad tweet:
Less than two months later, the exact same thing happened to Gunn. Disney fired him for bad tweets. Not just one bad tweet, but a whole bunch.
This is from 2019, but it still applies:
Then they hired Gunn back, because his movies make truckloads of money. But at least he learned something from the experience.
It would be nice if he apologized to Roseanne for kicking her when she was down, but it’ll never happen because she’s an undesirable. She’s not James Gunn’s meal ticket. Forgiveness only extends to members of his own tribe.
Voltaren Watch, Day 11: I’m halfway through the first 21 days, which is how long you’re supposed to use this stuff continuously. I need to find out what happens after that. How long does the relief last? What happens when my knee starts to hurt again?
But for right this minute, I’m just happy to be sitting here typing this pain-free. I can’t even remember a time when I wasn’t ignoring the pain. Even if this is only a brief vacation, I’ll take it.
TGIF, and thanks for reading. And I’ll give you an even bigger thanks if you subscribe to this newsletter today. I need money to live, and this is my sole source of income. Please help a brother out.
DGB: Democratistni Gosudarsvenoi Bezopastni! Brilliant. The Sovietization of America continues apace.
"Then they forgot all about that and immediately started amassing power again, which inevitably will be handed over to their enemies the next time the Dems are voted out of office."
And once again, the Republicans will do bupkes with that power. :-(
