IT’S FEAR THEY’RE MAKING FUN OF:  Just as I am begging women to stop supporting a child murderer, I’m also begging men to stop erasing context from videos and supplying context you pulled out of your own ass. None of these are “making fun of baby murder”. They’re acting out genuine FEAR they recognize as being mostly irrational, and that’s the joke. It’s no different from a man picturing various scenarios of improbable things that could happen to his family. You’d think someone from Babylon Bee of all places would recognize this for what out actually is…

I think you have to be a mom to understand. For those who don’t know, I’m extremely ADD. My persistent nightmare when I was pregnant with older son/he was little: I put the baby in the garage and forgot him, and he died of starvation and heat stroke.  Now was I ever going to do that, in a million years? No. But I had vivid nightmares I’d done it. And in retrospect it’s hilariously crazy.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS WEREN’T:  Soooo, guy I knew in of all places National Guard in Florida. He was taking a master’s in Optics at University of Central Florida. He had to do a paper. Just one of the random ‘do a paper’ assignments you do in a master’s program. He’d heard that tailings from coal mines could be a bit suspect in terms of radiation. Not in his direct field but in ‘physics.’ Good enough. There’s a coal plant about 20 miles from Orlando. Goes out, goes to the big pile of tailings, sticks a Geiger counter probe in it, expecting a bit above background.

ANN COULTER: Lindsay Clancy Democrats — A Girl for Luigi.

I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal.

When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re supposed to treat it as if it’s a disease as real as cancer and blame the doctors for not dispensing a magic pill to cure the batty lady.

Whether Lindsay has postpartum psychosis, is bipolar or a witch, to quote another witch, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” She still twisted an exercise band around the neck of her 3-year-old, his little legs kicking, then strangled her 5-year-old daughter until she went limp, before proceeding to garrote her 8-month-old baby.

A woman’s work is never done!

The pink ladies seem to think that if enough of them say, That could have been me, everyone will shout in unison, LET THAT POOR WOMAN GO! as opposed to, No. Woman. President. Ever. Thus, the organizer of the pink ladies, Renee Kimball, said of Clancy, “Any one of us could be sitting in her chair.” Okay, fine. But then none of you should ever be sitting in a chair at the Resolute Desk.

Earlier, from Nick Freitas: “I honestly don’t think that women understand what a catalyst moment this is. There’s been a lot of conditions set for young men to just be fed up. This is the one where I don’t think they realize you could look back in 20 years and be like, ‘Oh, this is where we lost the right to vote.’”

I don’t think these women understand how the Lindsay Clancy case is impacting the way men see women… pic.twitter.com/fXQIVjVbFj

I’m just repeating what a few other women already said out loud:

If Lindsay Clancy walks on this, every woman in a high-stakes job just got a new target on her back.

Female pilot? Cool. Now the first thing people will ask is whether she’s hormonal, postpartum, or one bad night… https://t.co/VVdbyEO1SP

MY LATEST SUBSTACK IS ON THE FUTURE OF ROGUE AI: Demons in the Walls.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.

SO FLOODING THE STREETS HAS TWO PURPOSES. It shows the government that people are mad. And it’s an implicit threat that all those mad people will do something about it if the government doesn’t change.

Leftist governments in Europe don’t care if people are mad, and they’re not afraid that the people will do anything. Some lamppost hangings may be required if the people are to get the message across.

Beginning to think Europe might still have a chance.

Might mean lampposts for traitors. But they’ve been pushed far enough even Euros might have that in them.

(Starting to look like rape of one’s daughters is a globalist bridge too far even for Euros. Who knew?) https://t.co/yR3zhiKhPM

TODDLER MODE: Journalists Fume, Pout Over Accurate Headline That Makes Democrat Look Bad.

Employees accused [Bari] Weiss of tweaking the story’s headline—a brazen display of editorial activism that would never happen in a proper newsroom. It was a “shameful” breach of norms, they complained, not to mention overtly Islamophobic. Only an inexperienced and racist moron could think the deleted posts “were scandalous enough to report on,” the Daily Beast implied.

“They took a small nugget of news, forced it into something much larger,” a CBS News staffer told Darcy.

If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s exactly how the media have reported on Republicans for decades. Mitt Romney’s binders full of women (and other gaffes). Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoos. Calling Tom Cotton a racist for opposing riots, or suggesting COVID might have leaked from a Chinese lab. Casually dismissing stories about Joe Biden’s non-functioning brain as right-wing “disinformation.” The list goes on.

Weiss, the LGBTQ+ icon, has merely upended this longstanding tradition of prioritizing stories that make Republicans look bad while ignoring or downplaying the ones that make Democrats look bad.

Most journalists find this rather confusing, so naturally they’re lashing out.

Bless their hearts, the poor things.

To be fair, that’s an exceedingly new development at CBS News, which for about 70 years now has been exclusively a house organ for Democrats, so I can understand why Weiss’s underlings are in shock. Not to mention, the sheer chutzpah of an editor actually doing some, err, editing:

"Editor in Chief performs journalism . .. leftists outraged"

HIGHER ED DOESN’T HAVE A PERCEPTION PROBLEM: Americans picture more ideological diversity on campus than the evidence supports. A closer look lowers confidence. Perhaps universities should spend less time managing perceptions and more time asking what those perceptions are hiding.

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL:

THE SPICE MUST FLOW:

Oil Flowing Through the Strait.The Trump administration has been saying for a while that as many as nine million barrels of oil a day are traversing the Strait of Hormuz. That claim has been “fact checked” and derided by just about everyone. Politico is one of many instances: “Trump’s rosy Hormuz claims collide with tanker data.”
…
Only – oops – it turns out that President Trump and Secretary Wright, one of his cabinet’s most impressive members, were right all along, as Kpler now confirms.

If only the correction were as big as the original report.

Actually, any correction at all would be nice — I couldn’t find one at Politico.
