Interesting to watch certain Trump-hating pundits (see e.g. Hinderaker or Murray in the NYPost) pretend that the jury and prosecutors in New York were honest because they hate Trump. Just as some pretend that elections were honest in 2020 and 2022 because they hate Trump.
One would think they might get whiplash of the brain. Column after column they point out the lies, slanders, corruption, crime and policy blunders of the Woke Left Democrats. Yet, willingly swallow leftist talking points, if said lies are harmful to Orange Man Bad.
Do these people have any editors or friends? We are all subject to biases and blindspots. That’s a good reason to check the game film and do a self-scout. The playcalling has gotten predictable. And the credibility is circling the drain.
If I’m not mistaken, there’s a plan to “rebuild” Penn Station.

I’m still upset about not being able to go back to Freedomland USA® or the 1964-65 World’s Fair.
The young in America are turning against the US, our constitution and capitalism. They are ever more embracing socialism and the destruction of tradition.
But is this true in Europe?
New Culture Forum in Westminster, London, put it to a youthful panel of literati’s and admit that while the young in the UK manifest some of the deracination that the Wokey US is suffering — taking down statues and going all in after Saint George Floyd died, for instance — polling and voting patterns among the young in Europe are distinctly different. And are definitely more favourable to the Right.
Put differently, the Left has grown more powerful among the young in the US as it’s gone far Left. But in continental Europe, the young have become not just disenchanted with the usual ruling parties, but instead more open and accepting of the Right-wing political turn as much or more than older people have in several nations.
They discus how much Merkel approved immigration has failed, German Energy Transition to renewables has failed, and thus the young are more open to Right-wing parties. Sweden and Italy, for instance, but also France, German, and now Spain are all lining up to support the Right.
The UK may have the worst failure in leadership, as the huge Conservative majority win by PM Boris Johnson in 2019 has gone completely wasted. But unlike in the US, the young are not moving to support leftist Labor.
Meanwhile, the Continent shows that the young can still observe failure and not reward it. They are growing Right, just as in the US, Millennials and Gen-Z go with the herd-mind to the failed Left.
One wonders if the corrupt Marxist education in the US has destroyed the young’s capacity for independent thought — unlike in Europe, where recycling failed Marxist ploys isn’t novel or exciting, but recognisably old-fashioned and worn out.
Yet in certain places, like recent UK elections and in recent German state elections, the Green Party has come out in top, seeing the greatest single party growth.
It ain’t a simple binary situation. Yet the Greens have no answer for people’s energy needs, as heating costs have doubled because of Putin’s War. But a rare and utterly surprising warm winter in Europe may mean that this naivety will not be cruelty punished until next winter, when a cold winter returns, as it did in most of the Northern Hemisphere last winter. The impact will likely mute Green power among Euro-youth.
Lessons are yet to be learned, there. Wokery seems much more consequential in the English speaking world. For now.
For anyone curious, this 8m explaner video runs through numbers on European young going Right — the Western Europe, Central Europe, and then compared to the English speaking nations. And finally rounds out by discussing three possible explanations for this divergence: “Young Europeans are seemingly getting more right wing – and at a much faster rate than Americans or Brits.”
I’d note only that the coffers in the Great Room vaults are not travertine marble, they were colored plaster, to conserve on weight and money. That made disassembling the Great Room simpler, as it was as if stage setting above the first story.
It appears that Vlad is feinting from Bakhmut now. Boned Lizard and N.N deeply disappointed. Time will tell.
12 May: Ukrainians CRUSHED RUSSIAN FLANKS | War in Ukraine Explained
Responding to a recent Biden tweet that repeats the “fine people on both sides” canard, Carpe Donktum posted a fact check video note to Community Notes. This is the sort of thing that Community Notes is supposedly designed for.
The study has updated its comprehensive fatality list through April, 2023.
An overarching rhetorical question continues: Which side of the vax issue are Bill Gates, Joe Biden, and the MSM on? And then there’s Big Pharma. Needless to say, I’m happy to not be on that side.
Its not voting that matters, but who counts the votes, goes the old Joe Stalin adage. Updated to the US, we have “it’s who controls the voter registration that counts.” And for many cycles now, this means far Left Democrats.
A piece by Hayden Ludwig in American Greatness was also republished on Zerohedge.
The trick was getting inside various Federal privacy protection laws to filter voter registration to favor the Left and far-Left, as well as to exclude the Right.
““Voter registration modernization” proved a euphemism for inserting operatives into state election machinery. But EBU data is protected behind layers of federal privacy laws and across multiple state agencies (e.g. motor vehicle departments) and thus not available to political groups. It was Pew Charitable Trusts, a powerful left-of-center funder, that discovered the back door.
“Between 2010 and 2012, Pew incubated the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that billed itself as the solution to an entirely different problem presented to the states: Maintaining their voter rolls, which are notoriously inaccurate and constantly in flux. For a fee, ERIC would graciously warehouse states’ voter roll data and identify potential double voters using sophisticated data-matching software.
“That’s the sales pitch, anyway. In truth, ERIC makes the removal of ineligible voters entirely optional and tedious, while mandating member states spend hundreds of thousands in taxpayer dollars to register new voters. Far from streamlining voter rolls, ERIC expands them, which is why non-ERIC states have cleaner rolls than their ERIC counterparts.”
Enter rabid Leftist David Becker of CEIR, and you have a phalanx for filtering the voter pool. And thereby laundering the election results in advance.
BUT HOW FAST CAN THE SOME 18 OTHER “R” STATES BE CLEANSED OF THIS BACKDOOR CORRUPTION?
It’s not that difficult to set up a system to maintain voter rolls in satisfactory shape. You don’t need an outside contractor to do it, you need filing and data entry clerks. It’s just that our politicians don’t care about anything when there isn’t any candy for their clients in it and there isn’t any publicity for themselves in it. And public bureaucracies in this country tend to stink.
Banned Lizard:
I have already dealt with that issue at great length.
The article you cited in your comment above is a case of misleading cherry-picking, like all the rest I’ve seen. For example, it says that “2005 to 2006 averaged sixty-six (66) [sudden] deaths [of athletes] per year, with 82% of those occurring during competition or training.” That’s one year, so how can 66 be an average? Perhaps it’s a misprint of some sort, but it makes no sense.
Anyway, and far more importantly, that 66 per year is supposedly from a study of such deaths in the US. Then the author at your link compares that figure to January of 2022, in which supposedly 89 such deaths had been reported. But the post there is very poorly written – VERY – and from what I can see it appears they are comparing US deaths per year prior to COVID to worldwide deaths after COVID vaccines. Apples and oranges; of course the latter will be much larger.
In addition, the data sets they are using from the past don’t purport to be comprehensive listings of all such deaths that occurred. Reporting of such things was not as good back then. The whole thing is garbage in garbage out.
And where does that chart in the article you link come from, the one that purports to show the huge increase in such deaths? As far as I can tell, it’s generated by the blog itself.

With prior year data included, there’s clearly been a spike (pardon the pun):
1863 Athlete Cardiac Arrests or Serious Issues, 1291 of Them Dead, Since COVID Injection
The study has updated its comprehensive fatality list through April, 2023.

The good news, says Ludwig, is that states can leave ERIC, as nine have already done.
