(1) Hasan Piker celebrates and mocks Charlie Kirk’s death with a crowd of happy haters:
We have seen protesters on the left around the country mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even reenacting his murder. Hate traffickers like Jennifer Welch have even justified his assassination. It is all shocking and depressing, but none reached the level of Hasan Piker leading a huge crowd in mocking Kirk and his faith. Before he was murdered, Kirk debated Piker and called him a “socialist hypocrite.” What is shocking is not the utter depravity and cruelty of Piker, but the ecstasy of the crowd in relishing the death of someone with opposing views. It is part of the conditioning in an “age of rage.”
In the video, Piker leads the crowd in the meme song “We Are Charlie Kirk” at a stop of his “Fear& LIVE” tour, including such lines as “We are Charlie Kirk, we carry the flame. We’ll fight for the Gospel, we’ll honor his name.” His co-hosts and the crowd seem to be laughing with joy.
(2) I guess it’s okay to be a “journalist” and not only celebrate Kirk’s death but make up fake quotes from him. The WaPo is forced to reinstate an employee who did just that.
(3) The Huck Finn wars.
(4) In the California governor’s race, Hilton is gaining on Becerra in the polls.
But I think there’s no way Hilton wins. However, I’d love to be pleasantly surprised.
(5) Boomers are doing more cannabis.
(5) All kinds of THC goodies for pain. Been testing the syringe distillates (not for shooting) — even tried some vaporizer vape thingie. 80 years old and don’t need to be that high…tho an 1/8th inch of distillate on a broken Cheez-It is nice for a long time. They have price wars. Great time to be old in America! 😉
I love the idea that Hilton might beat Becerra, who is a real cipher, but the way Nithya Raman came from behind and beat Spencer Pratt says all anyone needs to know about vote counting in CA. Raman was a lackluster candidate (still is) against a very good Pratt, but as the vote count continued in the days after the election, Raman gradually climbed above Pratt. Even if Hilton comes out ahead when the first votes are counted, you can count on a gradual trickle of Democrat votes to come in for a week after. And anyone who thinks Gavin Newsom let the voters of that state down miserably will see that with Becerra in office, the state can get even worse. A lot worse. What a disaster California has become!
Gonna have start thinking up a sardonic meme song for Piker when he gets Charlie Kirked.
To be old and befuddled. Neuter what neurons remain.
