NYT Tries, Fails to Prove Elon Musk Is a Racist
Good effort, kids
If you refuse to toe the Democratic Party line in 2022, the New York Times will find some way to call you a racist. It happened to my friend Tucker Carlson last week, and now it’s happening to Elon Musk. He’s buying Twitter, probably, and the libs want to take him down any way they can.
Even when it’s as dishonest as this:
You see how that works? Musk is from South Africa, which used to be even more racist than it is now. So what if he didn’t decide where to be born? It doesn’t matter that there’s no evidence Musk is a racist, and in fact all the evidence points to the opposite conclusion. Obviously, all his talk about “free speech” is just a smokescreen so he can say the N-word.1
Here’s one of the NYT reporters who broke this very important news story. See if you can spot the revealing phrase that jumped out at me:
“The dangers of unchecked speech,” huh? What gives you the right to say that, journo?
It’s genuinely amazing how quickly the profession of journalism has dropped any pretense of supporting free speech. As far as they’re concerned, they get to say whatever they want and you don’t. “White privilege” is just one of their many excuses.
That’s because we’re not their audience. We’re their competition.
Who’s paying for this “Ruth Sent Us” organization that has announced plans to protest at the homes of Supreme Court justices? Why do they think Ruth Bader Ginsburg would want them to do that?
And why won’t the president of the United States condemn it?
Libs claim to oppose political violence and intimidation, yet they excuse it when it suits their purposes. Jen Psaki will be right at home on MSNBC.
I was tough on Donald Trump during his first term as president, but that doesn’t mean I’ll reflexively condemn all of his ideas just because he’s the one proposing them. A good policy is a good policy, no matter my feelings about any of the personalities involved.
So I’m not seeing a downside to this idea:
We’ve got a bunch of missiles. They’ve got a bunch of illegal drug labs. Duh. It’s called thinking outside the box. Just ask Hillary Clinton whether that strategy works.
Speaking of that bitter old harridan:
Out of everyone they could ask about current events, they keep going back to the one woman in the entire world whose humiliating failure is responsible for all of this. If she had won, she could’ve picked her own harem of judges and cackled at anybody who didn’t like it. But she didn’t, so now she’s whining about it. Again.
This is her job now, reminding everybody that she lost. And why she lost.
This is truly a historic day!
I can’t wait for a queer woman of color to use my tax dollars to lie to me. Straight white males aren’t the only ones who can sell their souls.
I’ve never watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy or any other Shonda Rhimes show, but I still got a kick out of this story. A bunch of phonies got fooled by an even bigger phony. LOL!
That Doctor Strange movie is out today? Totally slipped my mind. I’m vaguely interested. Sam Raimi is usually good, and I haven’t seen a Marvel movie in a theater since Endgame. Wow, three years.
Based on various hints and mutterings going around, it sounds like Marvel might be correcting the story problem it created during the final episode of WandaVision on Disney+. I loved the show, right up until the moment it decided to absolve Wanda Maximoff of any responsibility for kidnapping and torturing an entire town for weeks just so she could play house with her broken robot boyfriend.
That sucked. She’s the bad guy, and the writers just waved it off:
“They’ll never know what you sacrificed for them.”
Uhhhh… that’s because Wanda didn’t sacrifice anything! None of it was real. It was literally all in her head. Except in order to manifest the sitcom fantasy world she’d wanted her whole life, she had to hurt a lot of innocent people. It was wrong, she’s a criminal, and she just got to fly away from the consequences of her actions.
I hope Stephen Strange corrects that error. After all, he’s supposed to be a hero.
TGIF and TFR. Today’s edition is free, so that I may beg you to pay for a subscription if you haven’t already. You’re not getting any annoying ads with this, and I’m not selling your personal information. It’s a pretty good deal from where you’re sitting. But the only way I can make a living by doing the work you’re enjoying is if you pay me directly.
You do want me to keep doing this, right?
Also, I’ve got almost 800 subscribers. It would be nice to hit that milestone before the one-year anniversary of this newsletter on June 14. My original goal was 1,000, but that doesn’t seem likely, so I’ll settle for 800. Help me out. Please.

“The dangers of unchecked speech"
Oh really?
The fact of the matter is that speech in South Africa during the days of apartheid was very, very, VERY controlled. You could not, ever, say anything that would go against the ruling party. So, this is not only a lie, but a dangerous lie in that it gets the facts wrong.
But, that's the point isn't it? Facts, disinformation, lying... it's all fungible, all for the use of the Ruling Cabal of Corporate Dolts and Stooges.
But what the hell do I know? I'm just your garden variety mallard who hops on the bike now and then. By the way, the Giro D'Italia started today. The Giro, the national tour of Italy, is a three week race, a grand tour just like the Tour de France and the Vuelta Espana. The only American to ever win the race was Andy Hampsten in 1988. Don't look for an American winner any time soon, we only sent three guys this year, none have a chance.
Everyone knows that the problem in apartheid South Africa was too much free-speech.
