Musk Has the Best Response to McConnell's Criticism of J6 Footage
Twitter chief Elon Musk, a champion of free speech and transparency, had the perfect response to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s criticism of the previously unseen Jan. 6 footage Fox News’s Tucker Carlson aired this week.
“With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol Police about what happened on January 6th,” McConnell said, referencing Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger’s memo earlier in the day, which said the coverage was “filled with offensive and misleading conclusions.”
Commenting on a clip of McConnell’s remarks, Musk said he keeps “forgetting which party he belongs to.”
Carlson addressed the “hysteria” from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, McConnell, and other Republicans about the footage on Tuesday, pointing out "they're on the same side."
"The Senate majority leader joins the Senate minority leader. [Sens.] Thom Tillis, Mitt Romney, they're all on the same side, so it's actually not about left and right, it’s not about Republican and Democrat," Carlson argued. "Here you have people with shared interests, the open borders people, the people like Mitch McConnell who are living in splendor on Chinese money, the people who underneath it all have everything in common are all aligned against everyone else…"
Conservatives were quick to inform musk the real party they believe McConnell belongs to.

Leftists Don’t Get to Control What We Say
The ruling caste is soft and weak, yet it still holds tremendous power solely because we let it do so. Somewhere along the way brute force got replaced by sissy shaming as the main mode of oppression. We need to stop allowing this – we need to give these nerds a figurative wedgie. Also, academia has fully outed itself as less concerned with education than with gatekeeping for the elite.
The Ruling Caste Seeks to Shame You Into Silence
There was a great example at CPAC during the media bashing panel. The regime media is just too juicy a target not to kick now that it is on its back spazzing out like a dying roach, so we went after it. During the panel, I told the (true) story of how a sergeant in my Gulf War platoon asked if he could shoot reporters. I told the audience that a good officer always listens to his NCOs. Lots of laughs. Then the panel, including our own Larry O’Connor, totally called it and said that I was going to get trashed by the media for wanting to kill journalists. I then laughed and denied that I was advocating hunting them for ‘sport. More laughs. You can watch it here on this commie lie site.
Well, we called it perfectly, though it was hardly a hard call. After lol, the regime media lies all the time. It’s just hilarious that this time they literally did it exactly as we predicted. I mean exactly.
Their mediocre mendacity aside, let’s assume I was joking about shooting journalists. Why can’t one joke about shooting journalists? What’s the rule on joking about harm to people you dislike? Because I am not sure there is a rule. A caveat: There can only be one rule. Now, I’ve heard some Ashli Babbitt jokes from the scumbag communists, and I’m wondering why if that is not against the rules. Or are there special rules that apply to the privileged caste that is journalists but not to, well, the rest of us? I think that’s it. I think they think they’re special, and they think that I should have recognized that my joke was not allowed. Their jokes are fine. In fact, their cheerleading to the death and/or disenfranchisement of people like us is cool. That’s the rule, apparently.
I’m not interested in their rules or their fussy outrage except to the extent that I can mock them about it. Don’t like what I have to say? Too bad. Lump it, toadboy Aaron Rupar and the rest of you dorks.
Uh oh, now they are going to think I am a bad person.
See, this is one of their most potent weapons, and at the same time one of the easiest to defeat. Their dumb spasm was designed to toss me outside of the range of accepted blue opinion and cause me to govern my speech accordingly in the future. But I am not going to do that. If you comply with their puny shaming play, it works great because you will then police your own expression. But it only works if you choose not to tell them to pound sand. And pound sand they must.
You get this all the time. One of the classics is “You’re racist!” How many Republicans have backed down in the face of that classic losers’ battle cry knowing it’s a lie but trying to prove themselves innocent? Here’s the thing. You can’t, not ever. First, it’s not even a real claim - they know it’s meaningless slander. And regardless, remember the systemic racism nonsense? That applies, so even if you eschew pointing out some objective fact that hurts leftists, you are still racist under their dopey definition. You can’t win, but then again it is not something you could even escape through your naive use of objective facts and evidence. Neither facts nor evidence matter to them. It’s all about shutting you up. And when you care what they say, they win.
So stop caring.
Academia Is a Scam
So, Columbia University – which people associated with Columbia University will tell you is a very, very impressive place – has decided to stop pretending it is in the education business. Columbia is in the ruling class hiring business. You know because it just got totally rid of standardized tests for admission. Without the burden of objective proof of merit, their admissions flunkies will be free to employ a “holistic” and “nuanced” approach to admitting students. That means they will choose people they consider worthy of entering our ruling elite, and those are not your kids. And the rest of the allegedly prestigious colleges are going to do this too.
The purpose of merit, and therefore standardized tests, was to allow that smart, hardworking kid with no connection and who checks no particular box to get access to the conveyor belt into the ruling caste. And it worked, which is why standardized tests must be abandoned. Too many uppity outsiders were getting in, and this meant too many unwanted types were being allowed to rise. This move is all about curating the ruling class.
Legacies? Oh, they will get it, and so will the odd athlete. So will the donors’ brats and the celebrity nepotism babies. But if you look for some smart middle-class kids on one of these Ivy campuses, good luck. Not happening. You have the rich and connected scions, and the diversity gang. Why do you think the LGBTQ#%X*() contingent makes up a double-digit portion of the student bodies? Because an essay with “I was a straight-A Eagle Scout active in my church” gets trumped by “As a trans non-binary neuro-atypical furry of color, I got straight-Cs because of patriarchy.”
And we suckers pay to support this. We hand these places tons of money, we fail to tax their endowments, and we treat them as if they were turning out geniuses instead of barely literate weirdos, losers, and mutations. This must stop. But there remain far too many unbased Republicans who are afraid to slap the schools around. But the Ivies have a glass jaw. They folded to a bunch of freaks who shouted at them, so think how fast they will come around to our way of thinking if we pass laws requiring blind merit admissions if a school takes a cent of federal dough.
Time to break them before they break our society.

Major Defeat for Women Powerlifters as Court Rules It Is 'Discriminatory' to Bar Men from Females' Competition
An activist judge in Minnesota has ruled that men who declare themselves to be female must be allowed to compete in women’s powerlifting.
USA Powerlifting was sued by transgender activist JayCee Cooper in 2021 over a policy that prevented people such as him from competing against women.
Cooper alleged his ban from competing with women violated the Minnesota Human Rights Act — and Ramsey County District Court Judge Patrick Diamond agreed with him.
According to a Feb. 27 ruling by Diamond, men who claim to be transgender have the same right to compete in women’s powerlifting as women. That is in spite of the fact they are naturally more physically imposing and have bodies that were designed to be stronger.
The judge ruled that someone’s feelings are likely to be hurt if men who claim to be women are told the truth — which is that they are different.
“The harm is in making a person pretend to be something different, the implicit message being that who they are is less than,” Diamond said in a ruling obtained by Fox News. “That is the very essence of separation and segregation, and it is what the [Minnesota Human Rights Act] prohibits.”
He further ruled USAPL must “cease and desist from all unfair discriminatory practices.”

The feminists have won
International Women’s Day is a day when women of the chattering classes parade their virtue and moral superiority to the rest of us. If you were listening to the ABC last Thursday and expected your favourite male presenter, tough. And if you wanted a provocative, balanced read from the Age’s opinion pages, you were greeted instead by woman polemicists including ex-ABC broadcaster Virginia Hausegger and Fairfax’s resident feminist, Clementine ‘Fight Like a Girl’ Ford.
‘Are you done with women yet? Sick of hearing about them?’ were the first words of Hausegger’s Age piece. Her argument, however, boiled down to warning like-minded readers to beware ‘the brewing whiff of backlash’. ‘As women continue to push for progress’, she wrote, ‘men are clearly disoriented by the demands for change’.
The premise of International Women’s Day is that women need to be empowered, to lead, to shatter the glass ceiling. So Peta Credlin, herself a very powerful woman before she found her voice at Sky News, writes in the Australian decrying the Liberal party for not changing as fast as she wants. Tanya Plibersek and other grandstanding progressive politicians, male and female, brand feminism as a progressive Left triumph. Labor talks 50:50 gender quotas for its MPs; Credlin and other Liberals talk affirmative action and mentoring within the party’s preselection processes.
Credlin and Plibersek make a surreal unity ticket, but on one thing they’re indeed very much united: the final triumph of the feminist revolution in politics isn’t coming quickly enough for their liking. Yet they overlook the fear of a feminist backlash helps keep poor political performers who happen to be women, like Michaelia Cash, in post where men who blunder as royally would be sent packing. It means the sisterhood not condemning the bad examples of female politicians already in leadership, like Tasmanian Labor leader Rebecca White, whose petulant and deluded concession speech on election night made Turnbull’s ugly and spiteful 2016 effort look tame.
Labor’s much-touted seat quotas are tokenistic. That they simply guarantee more mediocrities enter parliamentary ranks under the guise of gender equality doesn’t matter to Emily’s Listers. And the Liberals mentoring women candidates is pointless when factional and personal loyalties now count more than ability in picking MPs of either gender.
But feminist polemicists and Q&A panellists should be honest about just who’s on top. Every day is now International Women’s Day. Feminist issues, feminist values now shape and frame what’s appropriate and what’s not in public discourse, especially in politics and the media. Public and business figures who once would have got away with louche personal behaviour towards women are now called out and broken. Not that some men in power don’t deserve what comes: Barnaby Joyce’s selfish disregard for his wife, daughters, mistress and even unborn child makes middle-aged white blokes look more pathetic and ludicrous than even Clementine Ford could assert in a fire-snorting Fairfax column.
Thus the #timesup and #metoo movements enthusiastically call out male sexual harassers and predators, their starting premise that every man is by nature a predator on women, and preternaturally disposed to aggression and violence. Thomas Hobbes’s dark vision of men’s natures is as nothing to that of Hollywood virtue-signallers and their political allies.
Consequently in politics, business and the media, men are being denounced and rooted out, and the ideology of the gender revolution benchmarks public life. Middle-aged white men in authority positions and ‘traditional’ male occupations particularly are fair game: we are a generation of Calibans to be tossed aside for fair, enlightened Mirandas. The progressive media, not just the ABC and Fairfax, are willing arbiters of what’s acceptable in this brave, new world. Ever-angry feminist pundits like Ford and Hausegger rage as if the struggle’s all before them, when it absolutely is not. They deny what straight middle-aged white bloke dinosaurs like me already know: the gender revolution is not a work in progress, but already won.
The social and cultural norms of 10,000 years of Western civilisation, that always have presumed men, with our physical strength, are the hunter-gatherers, warriors and natural leaders and protectors of families and communities, have been overturned in not quite two generations. That’s astonishing, but in this age of technology manpower counts for little. Brain is the new brawn and it’s not gender-specific: men’s natural advantage over women is obsolete. Women now have the upper hand and set the gender agenda. What is happening now is not, therefore, the feminist revolution, but its mopping-up operation. High-profile naming and shaming like #metoo is the revolutionaries consolidating victory, the new regime denouncing and purging pre-revolutionary leaders and hate figures, and all they represent. The vile behaviour of ogres like Harvey Weinstein simply makes their task easier.
Revolutions happen because the evils of what they replace can no longer be ignored or tolerated. Endemic sexual harassment and one person’s abusing personal power over another rightly deserve calling out. But in correcting the perceived excesses of millennia, and in the heady thrill of toppling the likes of Weinstein, Don Burke and now Robert Doyle, revolutionary zeal and a desire for vengeance can create dictatorships potentially as bad, even worse, than the regimes they topple. Think Jacobin France, Soviet Russia and post-Shah Iran.
For feminist elites, International Women’s Day is their May Day in Moscow, showcasing themselves and consolidating their revolution. Establishment acts of solidarity like the ABC’s unnecessarily ostentatious, all-female International Women’s Day ensured the rest of us got the message.
Instead of securing their equality goal, the media and political Revolutionary Guards of Australian feminism are creating a new, permanent gender imbalance. The new matriarchy is here. We men have lost.
