Roundup! — 20 Comments

  1. “Lia” Thomas can always hope for a lucrative gig doing Bud Light commercials.

  2. (1)FINA:
    I think recognizing “trans” in any form, at any age, is surrender to the mentally ill. Why has this tsunami swept over us? Have we no self-pride, no standards? Everything goes? Not in my book!So I’m intolerant of deviancy, so?

    Perhaps you may have seen videos today of a “PRIDE” parade in Toronto featuring many marching totally nude men? Not exactly ancient Greek models of manhood, either, but rather disgusting flabby, somewhat aged specimens, many of whom are likely homosexual and/or impotent. YUK!

  3. Speaking of Roundup!, almost time to get the field ready for fall wheat.
    Also, Re. Item 3, there’s an old Latin saying that comes to mind. Something about carp dying.

  4. With some reluctance I endorse McCarthy’s “long game” approach on the impeachment question. Why?
    (1) The reasons you give;
    (2) Impeachment is the tail of the dog –Biden is a spent force politically, let’s use our power to hammer the real operators;
    (3) Politics is about getting results in the real world over the long haul, not dying on the barricades;
    (4) Revenge is a dish best eaten cold and at this point I’m used to slim rations anyway;
    (5) Time does not favor Biden and his cabal –IF people work to correct the narratives.

  5. Glad to see FINA take a stand. There is no compromise with evil and, excuse me, the trans people are little else. Some are merely tortured souls, but all are so self-absorbed in their insane personal crusades of metamorphosis that they cannot register or give proper weight to the concerns of others. Result? Evil.

  6. Cicero… many thanks for not posting a link there. I ain’t looking even by accident. But there is this…

    But know this: Difficult times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people!

    Seems about like what you’re describing.

  7. Owen:

    You’re talking about trans activists of the leftist variety. The majority of trans people are not of that ilk and don’t support it, and are just living their lives. Some, however, are on YouTube speaking out against the leftist activists. I’ve featured a couple of them on the blog.

  8. Re: Trans activism

    Glenn Greenwald’s theory for how trans became the New Improved Sexual Liberation Movement over Old School Gay Liberation is that Gay Lib essentially achieved its goals of equality in American society, including gay marriage.

    So did the Gay Lib organizations have a big party, pop some beers and demobilize?

    No. They have bills to pay and ego needs to satisfy. They move on to the Next Big Sexual Thing to pay those bills and stroke those egos.

    That’s the problem with progressive movements. They are never done.

  9. Peter Zeihan on Russian coup:
    ____________________________________

    As the saying goes, Russia is a mystery wrapped in an enigma inside a tuna salad sandwich that’s gone off.

    Apparently the guy who launched the coup, Yevgeny Prigozin, the leader of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner, was only kidding. Whether his effort was a political stunt or negotiation tactic, it’s all over. It was fun while it lasted.

  10. Red State posted a couple of relevant articles.

    I think Duke is right about the impeachment, and the use of media by the GOP, which desperately needs to up its game in that department.

    More on the CNN “exclusive” — IMO, no provenance, no credibility.
    And if it was leaked by Smith, then it’s time to close down the DOJ from top to bottom.

    Certainly looks like that’s what Biden said.
    Whether that is what he meant, or if he even knew what he was talking about, is debatable.

  11. Another quote from ‘Joe Bribing’?

    “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics,” Biden said. (2020)

  12. Of course most Republicans won’t impeach Biden for his family business deals:

    a) He’s a long-time Washington insider,
    b) Kevin McCarthy is only interested in the theater of opposition,
    c) Too many Congressmen and Senators also have done what Biden has done.

    The talk of expunging the Trump impeachments is just to toss the Republican base a bone. Even if it were done it changes nothing and inconveniences no one, and it’s as convincing as the new Bud Light campaigns.

  13. I’m against impeaching Biden now as well. Three words: President Kamela Harris.

    Start lower. Garland and Majorkas are ripe. They’ve both committed more than one impeachable offences. The real problem is getting rid of Harris first. There’s no obvious criminal behavior (now) and it’s hard to argue incompetence when there’s no actual vice-presidential duties to be competent at. (And, fie on the dangling participle rule.)

  14. “…Biden is a spent force politically…”

    Except that Biden is NOT “Biden” (as you imply when you say “the real operators”).

    …The REAL problem being that if Biden is on the ballot—as he most likely will be, chortling and grinning his SH**-FACED grin while slandering and sliming half the country and babbling about UNITY—AND IF the election laws and the SUPERVISION of those elections will NOT be fundamentally changed by November 2024, then Biden—i.e., “BIDEN”—“wins” “again”.

    File under: “OUR DEMOCRACY”!

  15. As much as I would like to see Biden impeached, and convicted, I know it is impossible. I believe the best course at the moment is to do every thing possible to limit how much damage he can do; but otherwise stay out of his way and let him implode. That is one thing he is doing well.
    If the Democrats want to run him in 24, then so much better. I have a low opinion of the American electorate but I do not yet, emphasis on yet, believe that a majority are blithering idiots. (I know that is in poor taste, but I am retro and in my day that was not an uncommon epithet.)

    On another subject, I just don’t know what McCarthy can do to become acceptable to some people. I cannot imagine another political base that derides every leader in the same the way as Republicans (or is RINO a more description?); exempting Reagan of course.

  16. @Oldflyer: I just don’t know what McCarthy can do to become acceptable to some people.

    In my case, he could have chosen not to shank his own party on the debt ceiling “deal”. That “deal” had more House Dems vote yes than Republicans, and more Republicans voted no than Democrats did.

    All he had to do was nothing for total victory. Ergo, he did not want the victory. He wanted to see the cronies get paid. Mission accomplished.

    I cannot imagine another political base that derides every leader in the same the way as Republicans

    Some of us are tired of being played for chumps, and some of us are apparently content to continue to be played. Some of us think it is high time that real effective opposition uses the power it has to effect real change instead of always making excuses for why they shouldn’t even try.

    The Dems knew they couldn’t get impeachment through the Senate, didn’t stop them… the Dems know they have to deliver for their base, and the Republicans know they don’t have to.
