“My rising Kindergartener told me two days ago she could wear a mask all day.” Okay, sicko. In lieu of placing a cloth filter over a child’s mouth which will serve no greater health purpose but will inhibit their breathing, perhaps parents should seek treatment for their own mental health issues. See a shrink and fix yourself. “My rising Kindergartener told me two days ago she could wear a mask all day,” Jen Psaki declared. It’s a dark victory lap to take. The fact is that if kids were not mandated to wear masks most of them never would and...

Wearing antlers ain’t great but is completely reasonable compared to asserting that January 6th was worse than 9/11. Matthew Dowd, a political consultant, pundit and the kind of guy who loves to be on panels jumped on Joy Reid’s stupidfest to kvetch about the day. “And to me, though there was less loss of life on January 6th, January 6th was worse than 9/11 because it's continued to rip our country apart and give permission for people to pursue autocratic means.” Steve Schmidt wormed his way onto MSNBC and announced, “The 1/6 attack for the future of the country is...

he path was clear for me to finish out the remaining years of my life without ever having had expended a thought about something called the hammer throw. But my plans were dashed. A 31-year-old hammer thrower named Gwen Berry acted out when the Star Spangled Banner was played as she stood on the podium, having won third place for her athletic feats. She didn’t want to hear the song because she was “here to represent those ... who died due to systemic racism … That's why I'm here today.'' "My purpose and my mission is bigger than sports,'' Berry...

It was a moment to behold. The reporter was of magnificent stock. Her name is Nancy Cordes and she was ready to face off with Jen Psaki over the practice of throwing around patronage jobs to the kids of Joe Biden’s pals. “Can you describe what safeguards the administration has in place to make sure that the children of top officials don’t get preferential treatment in hiring?” It was perfectly executed and surely Psaki would have to spill the beans and admit defeat. But the red headed daughter of Connecticut is nothing if not audacious and pushed a fleet of...

Now anyone caught collaborating with the sun must be brought to bear. You may think that coed laying on the beach is relatively harmless, but in fact she may be guilty of: Blackfishing. As described by Pema Bakshi in Beauty Crew magazine, it is a problem. “Blackfishing is a relatively new concept...and does not exactly mean to necessarily mock qualities of BIPOC people, but rather seeks to emulate those identifiers." So, yes, this is a crime. If you are white and benefit from a tan, you are reaping the rewards of being a darker person without paying the dues, i.e....

Dr. Biden wore a jacket that read “Love” on the back. And the media received the signal and went right into full tongue-bath mode. What a change from the last first lady who wore a “Let the children all die” coat or something. We could spend all day talking about the difference in coverage of the two first ladies, but we won’t. Needless to say, the White House Press Corps is here for the “Love” jacket. If their work product looks identical to the work product of the White House communications staff that is because it is. The days of...

“Please spank us.” That was the essence of what CNN’s Brian Stelter begged of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. It was a plea for punishment. A beastial desire to be corrected. It was violent but erotic with the raw physicality of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and the tortuous titillation of 9 1/2 Weeks. You could see it in his eyes. “What does the press get wrong when covering Biden’s agenda?” (We’ve been very, very bad. Tell us all the ways. Leave no implement of pain holstered.) “When you watch the news, when you read the news, what do you...

We knew he was a lowlife but as of today, Hunter Biden may be a lock for the scumbag hall of fame. Biden had said publicly and even written in his book that he had no idea who Lunden Roberts - who bore him a child - was. Now we know the truth. Lunden Roberts worked at Hunter Biden’s law firm. Of course he knew her. When she became pregnant in 2017 Biden not only ghosted her but took measures to toss her and her unborn child right out of his life, like so much trash. Lunden pleaded with Hunter...

Veep Harris was tasked with fixing our Border crisis three months ago but has been utterly AWOL. When she was asked about it last month she slithered away from the matter: “You know, I come at this issue from the perspective that most people don’t want to leave home. They don’t want to leave their grandparents. They don’t want to leave the place where they grew up. Where they speak the language, where they know the culture.” It was her way of saying that she intended to tackle the issue by engaging in conceptual dialogues with parties in Mexico and...

If you actually believed that emitting carbon into the atmosphere would literally mean the end of your life you would stop doing it. Absolutely. Not “offset” the damage, as opulent climate luminaries like Al Gore, John Kerry and Bill Gates all claim they are doing with carbon credits, but absolutely cease contributing to the damage. Rich progressives are always going to tell us they need to fly all over the world in order to save it. Similarly, they need big houses. President Obama bought a colossus on Martha’s Vineyard a few years ago. Not only does that baby juke the...

Marc Lamont Hill, the charismatic professor-type guy and pundit-type guy when it comes to race issues asked a question to conservative media guy, Christopher Rufo “What do you like about being white?” It’s a hard question to answer if you’re not obsessed with skin color or have not been marinating in race theory education for years. Obviously the question is an entrée into a discussion in which the parameters have already been decided by Hill. Hill wants him to play along so badly it’s sad. Hill even went first when he talked about things he liked about being black. He...

Secretary of State Blinken is the right man for the job. If the job is to conduct foolhardy, self-destructive foreign policy and then brag about it. That’s exactly what he did when he affirmed the commitment on behalf of the administration to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal(JCPOA). The Iran deal was garbage and we all knew it. It was pure Pod Save America, know-it-all fist bump diplomacy and of course, it was idiotic and counterproductive. While we appeased Iran at every turn, they raised hell all over the region. So, of course we’re doing it again. Which brings us to...

Recently, I found myself reading a column written by a very-credentialed, highly respected professor named Jennifer Ho ̶ sorry ̶ Jennifer Ho (she/her/hers). The piece was titled, “White supremacy is the root of all race-related violence in the US.” Ready? Here we go. “Anti-Asian racism has the same source as anti-Black racism: white supremacy. So when a Black person attacks an Asian person, the encounter is fueled perhaps by racism, but very specifically by white supremacy. White supremacy does not require a white person to perpetuate it.” Quite a bank shot, Ms. Ho. She wasn’t done. “White supremacy as the...

Matt "Matty in the Morning" Siegel has been bullied and harassed off the air, possibly permanently. Siegel dared to have fun during a segment about Demi Lovato who has changed or expanded genders. Today, Siegel allegedly mocked Lovato’s newfound gender or at least spoke about it in a lighthearted way and that was all she wrote. In discussions over gender, droll observations, or for that matter anything less than positive observations, are forbidden. "I was told by my boss I cannot talk about what I want to talk about — by the way it's a joke, the whole binary thing....

New post on Substack free for everyone: Last Wednesday, on CNBC, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky swatted away mask questions from host Shep Smith and instead dumped tons of platitudes about “the science” on him. She meandered here and there about the vaccines and the variants and making sure “you’re not an asymptomatic carrier if you’re vaccinated” before we could act like vaccinated people. By Thursday morning everything had changed. New “science” must have come in overnight. Vaccinated people could go maskless outdoors and indoors. It was a miracle and it makes us wonder what the new science was? Was the...

Today, a seven foot-tall ignoramus stuffed his mouth full of greasy hamburger and french fries and began a comedic monologue while shooting saliva-soaked food shrapnel around the room. Even the sign language guy looked disgusted. “Just think of this when you think of vaccination,” Mayor de Blasio gasped, fighting to breathe as his entire skull was now occupied by food. We felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly anti vaxxers. Keep this moron away from important stuff, please. And then there is John Kerry. Kerry is not...

What a way to go. CNN’s viewers are abandoning the news network en masse. As media critic Joe Concha notes, “The drop CNN is experiencing is profound. On Friday, not one program broke 900K total viewers. Prime averaged less than 800K overall. For comparison, the network averaged 2.74 million viewers in January, so we're talking about more than two-thirds of the audience - gone.” The sales department must be in a total panic. On the programming side it is obvious that decision makers are trying to recapture last year’s numbers by recreating Donald Trump and his administration in the form...

Men are dogs. Not exactly a revolutionary notion, I know, but I think it is healthy to remind ourselves of this now and again. Which brings us to Connecticut, which is on the verge of facilitating highly desired outcomes for the dogs in that state. What happened was that two guys wanted to use gym equipment in a health club but it was all being used, except in the women’s-only section, where it was available. When they tried to access the women-only section they were prevented by the club. So they sued and here we are. This could mean the...

We’ve all been there. Whether at a donut shop or grabbing a rental car there is a universal experience in which the system does not work and the transaction collapses. I went in to a donut place once and ordered a donut, a coffee and an orange juice. The staff was shouting at each other, the orange juice was “in the back” and for some reason the coffee wasn’t happening, wasn’t happening and then finally didn’t happen. I left with nothing. Over the last few days, watching the Biden administration I am getting donut shop flashbacks. Craig Melvin asked Biden...

We’re so damned stupid. For the second year in a row progressives in America have taken to retroactively trying historical figures in the 2020-2021 social justice tribunals. All historical context is expunged and those in the dock are judged as if plucked off the streets this year rather than when they lived their lives hundreds of years ago, when a lot of other stuff was going on. Now it is Hannah Duston who faces justice. There is a statue of her wielding an axe in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Last year, every self-important progressive did what they could to declare their virtuousness...
