TRANSPARENCY IS FOR HER PARTY’S OPPONENTS:  Smirking Kamala Harris shrugs off reporters’ questions about Hamas with sarcastic response: ‘Shrimp and grits’.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER:  When your policy is too lefty for Jacobin.

AND HE’S RIGHT:  Israel Security Minister: Only Response to Hamas’s ‘Tricks’ is to ‘Crush Hamas Until it is Utterly Defeated’.

WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS?  ‘Only One Solution, Intifada Revolution’: Boston High School Students Join MIT Anti-Israel Encampment.

Do their parents think this is cute?

WE ON THE RIGHT ARE VERY CAT-LIKE. JUDGING BY HOW OFTEN WE POUNCE ON THE TRAGIC STUPIDITY OF THE LEFT:  Republicans Pounce on EcoHealth Alliance President’s Testimony on COVID Origins.

And after pouncing we chew, but ultimately bat it behind the fridge to rot.

DROP THEM ALL INTO GAZA. FROM A HEIGHT OPTIONAL:  ‘Oink oink, piggy piggy. We will make your lives shitty’ – Pro-Hamas protestors taunting NYPD.

THEY WANT US TO USE THE NATIVE SWAHILI NAMES:  BBC is lost for words over elephant.

Why are they obsessed with Swahili?  In the continent with most of Mankind’s languages, why are they obsessed with a synthetic trade language, as containing the wisdom of the ages?  An African friend once told me the worst insult in Swahili was “Cook’s assistant.” Probably not true, but hilarious anyway.

LONDON IS FALLING:  Sadiq Khan and four more years of pushing the Great Reset.

THIS CAUSES ME TO ENSURE THAT ANY FUTURE MEDICAL PEEPS I DEAL WITH ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH HARVARD:  Harvard Medical School Students Rap in Cringe Idiocracy Video.

CLOWNWORLD:  NWC’s Accidental Oversight, or Something Else?

Let’s have a call for papers for conference that includes the use of rape as a strategic weapon of war by non state actors, and then not mention a recent documented day when use of rape as a strategic weapon of war by non state actors happened.

PROTECTING ILLEGAL ALIENS FROM… TRESPASSERS?  Journalist sends his undercover agent Cesar into a hotel for illegal aliens.

We for real live in clown world.

OKAY THIS ONE REALLY IS THE GERMANS’ FAULT:  How Modern Graded Schooling Implements Fichte’s Ideas.

WELL, THERE IS THAT: Joe Biden’s biggest problem is that his presidency is an utter failure.

TRUE.

This is the truth. “But Gavin Newsom doesn’t work for the people of California – we are only paying his salary. He works for higher powers – China, the WHO, WEF, the UN. He’s even a graduate of the World Economic Forum’s Young Leaders program.” https://t.co/6pxgCXS6FB

WELL, YES: We’re Now in Full Goat Rodeo Mode in the NYC Trump Trial. “How many catastrophic yet entertaining courtroom fails can one team of prosecutors suffer before the judge calls a halt to this goat rodeo? It’s time to dismiss this case against Donald Trump after Friday’s testimony. But don’t get your hopes up. The bulldogger of this rodeo is the judge.”

OMG: WHO WANTS TO TELL THEM? The Times and WaPo all crowed about their Pulitzers today. Fine, whatev. But this caught my eye:

“The Washington Post shared the prize for national reporting for “Terror on Repeat,” an examination of the AR-15 rifle, a widely available weapon commonly used in deadly mass killings that is capable of firing hundreds of bullets in rapid succession.”

“Hundreds”? Srsly?

I can’t even begin to claim to be a firearms expert, but to my knowledge, even with a 30 round magazine, the first 30 seconds, 30 rounds. Then the magazine runs empty. I’ve heard of drums that have larger capacity, but notice the weasel words: “in rapid succession.”

What’s “rapid”? I mean, heck, in its day the Winchester ’76 fired in “rapid succession.”

OPEN THREAD: It’s time.

PREPARE FOR MASS HYSTERIA AND EXILE!

Every four years we hear Alec Baldwin, Babs Streisand, Michael Moore and other flaky leftists say they will leave the country if a Republican wins the presidency, and one of these days they may actually mean it, though I doubt it. I recall my mentor Stan Evans joking that “I voted for George W. Bush because Alec Baldwin said he’d leave the country. Which just goes to show that pragmatism doesn’t work.”

Anyway, this Tweet thread from a former hive-mind journalist Michelle Kosinski is just too delicious not to celebrate:

A few weeks ago, I had dinner with a few couples, friends of friends, all American. All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures….

One of the couples each attended top ivy league colleges. But now that it was university time for their own kids, they were adamantly NOT letting them apply to any ivies. And were weird about explaining why. Though the kids were double legacies. Okayyy… moving on…

The next crew suddenly busted out with air quotes when mentioning climate change. Again, these are otherwise smart people. Not scientists, clearly. But educated. And the dude took seething umbrage when my friend mentioned the damage Trump had done and vowed to continue to do.

They’d be having the same reaction if it were Dubya, McCain, or Romney running. Which of course is a big reason they’re having their TDS freakout.

Oh you guys want to Portray Mitt Romney as an extreme and abusive sociopath? Okay, well here's the real thing then.
