Welcome to post-truth America

"Bagel Times" = NYT

Taki

What used to be extreme radicalism is now the reigning ideology of every major American city. Speech patterns have changed, and the meanings of words are perceived not in the way they were intended. Everything is politicised and crime rates have gone through the you-know-what. Political and racial differences stoked by the internet threaten major US cities, as contempt for the police and American institutions in general becomes the default stance of the ruling elite. I’ve never seen it this bad, even at the height of the Vietnam conflict, when Black Panthers were openly shooting at cops and Hollywood and the left were rooting for them. Now it’s much worse, and only Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers and TV network stand between the maintenance of some semblance of the past and total chaos.

And speaking of Rupert Murdoch, his Fox News is the most popular cable network by far, something the left simply cannot abide. So what do they do? They openly fabricate, associating his commentators with any crime du jour, as with the recent outrage in Buffalo, where an 18-year-old white madman gunned down 11 black people and two whites after immersing himself in racist content easily found in internet forums.

Not content with innuendo and libellous hints, subversive know-nothings employed by the Bagel Times then quoted some obscure left-wing professor who blames the Fox star commentator Tucker Carlson for inflaming the killer moron. When a black assailant ran down 70 white Christmas marchers in Wisconsin late last year, killing six, he was described by the lefty media as being momentarily mentally impaired. So I ask you: who do you think that 18-year-old was when he killed ten black people in cold blood, Albert Einstein?

About ten years or so ago, before he became a star at Fox, I had lunch with Tucker Carlson. We exchanged numbers, but have not communicated since. I found him to be a very polite and well-informed young man, with good manners, something that is almost unheard of among American journalists. At present the Bagel Times is running book-length stories about him, singling him out as the prime mover behind the ‘great replacement’ phrase, which claims that sinister elites, especially Jews, are deliberately bringing in immigrants to displace white Americans. The theory has its origins in France, when Renaud Camus used it as the title of his book back in 2011. When the slogan was used in Charlottesville, Virginia – where a young Taki went to university and where no plaque commemorating that event is to be found – Carlson said on his nightly programme on Fox that he ‘didn’t like’ the protesters because ‘race was at the centre of their worldview’, so the links made by the Bagel Times ignoramuses are wrong. What is worse, however, is what lies behind the organised attack against him.

At a very chic dinner party last week, a lady lamented what would happen if 91-year-old Rupert were no longer around. I assured her that he is in excellent health and that his legacy will continue. Which is why the left in America is trying desperately to silence Fox, the Wall Street Journal and the NY Post. Link Murdoch’s media to white supremacists and the ‘great replacement’ theory and – abracadabra! – you have an excuse to discredit his media empire. Link Tucker Carlson with the Buffalo madman and – abracadabra! – Carlson is toast. The fact that the madman’s 180-page manifesto doesn’t mention Carlson is irrelevant. As is the truth where the left is concerned.

What is more interesting, and far sadder, is the fact that on the day that ten died in Buffalo, similar numbers of people were shot in Philadelphia and New York. But it was everyday crime, and America is now so used to it that it did not figure in the equation used to discredit Fox and company. The fact that Schumer, the senator from New York, a man who would sell his own mother for publicity, and deliver her also, tried to tie Carlson to the Buffalo case illustrates the depth of Democratic corruption and dishonesty. These so-called elites really take the rest of us for less than numbskulls, dunderheads. There is something warped about their attacks on truth and refusal to accept facts. Bile against whites does not alter the fact that gangland crime is the real scourge.

There is no conspiracy, but when a Bagel Times editor, Sarah Jeong, is revealed to have said how much ‘joy’ she gets at ‘being cruel to old white men’ and is defended by fellow clowns at the paper, that might be a legitimate cause of concern to some.

Liberals Now Saying That Owning Property Is Racist!

Strange logic

Recently, a woke assistant professor from Boston University, Saida Grundy, called property a racist construct and urged people to refrain from judging the actions of minority communities to events such as the death of George Floyd.

Grundy says that the looting during the riots that followed the George Floyd case is similar to Black Americans “looting themselves” out of the place of being slaves. The video was produced to mark the second anniversary of Floyd’s death.

Here’s what Grundy said in the University’s video:

“We hear President Biden say, you know, I understand your frustrations but don’t destroy property. Well, when you say that to Black people who historically have been property, one of our greatest weapons against injustice was the looting of ourselves as property from the system of slavery.”

The supremacy of the incompetent

As the nation sinks inexplicably into self-created crisis after crisis, debate rages whether President Joe Biden is incompetent, mean-spirited, or an ideologue who feels the country’s mess is his success.

A second national discussion revolves around who actually is overseeing the current national catastrophe, given Biden’s frequent bewilderment and cognitive challenges.

But one area of agreement is the sheer craziness of Biden’s cabinet appointments, who have translated his incoherent ideology into catastrophic governance.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has essentially nullified federal immigration law. Over 2 million foreign nationals have illegally crossed the southern border without audit—and without COVID vaccinations and tests during a pandemic.

Mayorkas either cannot or will not follow federal law.

But he did create a new Disinformation Governance Board. To head his new Orwellian Ministry of Truth, he appointed Nina Jankowicz—an arch disinformationist who helped peddle the Russian collusion, Steele dossier, and Alfa Bank hoaxes.

While Jankowicz’s adolescent videos and past tweets finally forced her resignation, Mayorkas promises his board will carry on.

In the days before the recent Virginia election, grassroots parent groups challenged critical race theory taught in the schools.

In reaction and under prompts from teachers’ unions, Attorney General Merrick Garland directed both the FBI and the Justice Department to establish a special task force apparently to “investigate threats” from parents against school board members.

The FBI recently has been knee-deep in political controversies. It illegally doctored a FISA application to entrap an American citizen. Its former directors, under oath before Congress, either claimed faulty memory or admitted lying to federal investigators.

The last thing a scandal-plagued FBI needed was to go undercover at school board meetings to investigate parents worried over their children’s education.

We are in a fuel price spiral that is destroying the middle class.

Yet when Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked about plans to lower gas prices, she laughed off the idea as “hilarious.”

Later Granholm preposterously claimed, “It is not the administration policies that have affected supply and demand.”

Apparently haranguing those who finance fossil fuel production, canceling the Keystone Pipeline, suspending new federal oil and gas leases, and stopping production in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge all had nothing to do with high fuel prices.

Currently, supply chain disruptions are paralyzing the U.S. economy.

The huge Port of Los Angeles has been a mess for over a year. Since last fall dozens of cargo ships have been backed up to the horizon. Thousands of trucks are bottlenecked at the port.

During the mess, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was not at work. Instead at the height of the crisis, he took a two-month paternity leave to help out his husband and two newborn babies.

Such paternal concern is a noble thing. But Buttigieg is supposed to ensure that life-or-death supplies reach millions of strapped Americans.

This winter, trains entering and leaving Los Angeles were routinely looted in the Old-West style of train robbing—without much of a response from Buttigieg’s transportation bureau.

In Senate testimony Secretary of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland refused to explain why her department is slow walking federal oil and gas leases at a time when Americans are paying between $5 and $6 a gallon for gas.

Haaland was unable to provide simple answers about when new leases will result in more supplies of oil and gas. Her panicked aides slid talking points to her—given that in deer-in-the-headlights fashion, she seemed incapable of providing senators with basic information about U.S. energy production on federal lands.

The United States is sending many billions of dollars worth of sophisticated weapons to Ukraine to combat Russian aggression. We rightly claim it is not a proxy war against Russia but instead an effort to help stop a brutal Russian invasion.

Why then did Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin tell the world the very opposite in a fashion that could only convince Russians that our real aim in Ukraine is to destroy Russia as a superpower?

As Austin put it publicly, “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”

Even if that description of the agenda is true, why broadcast it—given Russia has over 6,000 nuclear weapons and its President Vladimir Putin is increasingly erratic and paranoid?

The common denominator to these Biden appointees is ideological rigidity, nonchalance, and sheer incompetence.

They seem indifferent to the current border, inflation, energy, and crime disasters. When confronted, they are unable to answer simple questions from Congress, or they mock anyone asking for answers on behalf of the strapped American people.

We don’t know why or how such an unimpressive cadre ended up running the government, only that they are here and the American people are suffering from their presence.

JK Rowling Doled Out a New Term That's Eye-Opening

J.K. Rowling was a darling of the Left. She is a devoted leftist. There is nothing politically conservative about her. What was nauseating about Rowling was not her per se, but liberals using Harry Potter references to describe their resistance to the Trump administration. At the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, there was reportedly a group of anti-Trump staffers who called themselves “Dumbledore’s Army,” and communicated through encrypted apps.

Now, she’s public enemy number one to the Left for being pro-science. She believes in two genders. She thinks women are women and men are men. She’s now no better than a Nazi. It’s been this way for quite some time, but when commenting on biological men being housed in female prisons—she also used a new term that should cause you to chuckle.

Enter “the penised.” They’re dudes, guys. We all know that.

She was referring to a story from New Jersey where a female prison, Edna Mahan Correction Facility for Women, saw a few pregnancies occur because the transgenders there were screwing around with the female inmates. These were reportedly consensual sexual encounters, but the whole thing exists in a world that’s upside down.

To make things even more insane, we have British members of Parliament saying that women can have male genitals.

Yeah, how dare JK Rowling have rational opinions about this stuff, right? Well, in the left-wing realm, it’s earned her a cancellation notice which only exists in the minds of these warped folks. Rowling is already rich. Her Fantastic Beasts books are being made into movies. Those movies will still make money. She doesn’t doesn’t think that “the penised” are women. Deal with it. She’s also right.
