AJC "Misinformation"

Mainstream media is notoriously left lilting noted for "coloring" their language in support of their deeply held beliefs. Sometimes is so smacks of propaganda that it would, by any objective measure, constitute cancel-worthy misinformation for any social media censors. They injected a prize nugget in an article about the Remington headquarters relocation to Georgia:

'an attention-grabbing TV ad that showed him aiming a firearm toward "Jake,"'

where in this case "him" is Governor Kemp, who has been labeled "governor shotgun" in the AJC. True colors shining through? You may be wondering why they would take a hit after the play is over as anyone else might risk a personal foul, but this is the AJC and they own the refs (think Notre Dame). Hell, they think they ARE the refs. But they did cross a line...a hit out of bounds.

They made interesting choices. Now, it is "firearm" when previous references had more precisely noted it was a shotgun. Then "toward" rather than the previous "at" which while completely incorrect it had been the term. Perhaps the biggest lie is "aim" as Kemp never shouldered the shotgun and never sighted down the barrel, two things you do when you actually aim a shotgun (read the AJC puff-piece on Barnsley Gardens). Only some irresponsible left-wing-nut like a certain well-known actor actually shoots from the hip. At people.

Perhaps the vagueness is to provide a "parsing semantics" escape clause should someone suggest they've laid out egregious misinformation, but being legacy media they probably don't care about social media, cancelled or not. And you may have noticed it is VERY easy to sign up for an AJC subscription online but actually impossible to cancel online. Seems like every part of their operation is skewed to our disadvantage.

Honky Tanked

A women's rally slated for the 19th of this month in Humbolt, California has been cancelled. Why? because the rally was deemed too white. It isn't clear what their reference is as the Census Bureau indicates that Humbolt is 74% non-hispanic white. Otherwise known as "lily white." So the rally organizers have chosen to mute vox populi not because the message is unpopular but because the messenger is. And just what is that messenger's sin? Race.

Hypocrisy Unmasked

You know what makes a Socialist a bad Socialist? Put "National" in front of it. There was a party in Newnan this past weekend and both types, bad and good, showed up. As often happens when competing Birds Of a Feather get all BoF-ed up there was conflict. In this case, conflict resolved by the local gendarmes.

The gendarmes' hammer was a long standing law prohibiting the wearing of masks in public enacted as a reaction (as all too many are) to Klan activities, that even long ago it was politically correct to quash. In this case it was the Good Socialists wearing masks and getting arrested rather than the Bad National Socialists. 

And boy, were the Good Socialists pissed. 

Turns out Good Socialists don't think that laws, particularly laws they don't like, should ever apply to them. In this case since the law was expressly adopted as a reaction to Bad National Socialists the Good Socialists presumed there would be targeted application of this prohibition and that it would only apply to the Bad Guys. Turns out the constitution gets in the way of that and application was applied uniformly to all who actually violated the law. Which happened to be exclusively Good Socialists. Apparently there is something horribly wrong with a legal system that treats everyone equally without consideration for a particular group's self-righteousness. 

Left Wingnuts: Seeing Stars

Some left-wing-nut from the upper left coast whose claim to fame is a book on the NYT best seller list and a keyboard that is faster than the brain went open loop nutzi kukoo upon seeing the flag of Norway flying in HER neighborhood. HER NEIGHBORHOOD for chrissakes. Who the hell do they think they are? Or so she blasted on social media. But not to cause a stink or anything. Because she did not say it was the flag of Norway. No. She said it was the Confederate flag.

And what was her problem? Manifold. First, this was the flag that was flying (below a US flag it is worth noting):

Flag of Norway

But what this voice of politically correct "progressive" America saw was:

Confederate States of America BATTLE Flag

Mainstream media, you know, the ones with the real facts, reported her as claiming she saw "The Confederate Flag" when in fact it was nothing of the sort. Because that would mean she mistook the Flag of Norway for this flag:

Flag of the Confederate States of America

Hardly.

After a daily dose of this, posing as "real" news, what do most folks see?

Never Mind!

Pity The Poor Mudbug

The Swiss (that is Switzerland not Sweden, though both are European countries) have joined the list of countries banning the boiling of live lobsters without first humanely dispatching or mind-numbing that most noble of food-stuffs. This says a lot about Switzerland. All of it good. This is a country where the topmost problem to be addressed is the tank-to-table treatment of a seafood delicacy. When this is your biggest problem you must be in Valhalla. Oops, wrong country.

If you're thinking this is left-wingnuts gone off-leash, you are right on track. Keep in mind these are the folks that have been "boiling the frog" that is your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness since time began. For them, boiling a lobster is eezee-peezee. But like everything else, it must be done their way.

Where does it end? Sure, rich folk, dining out on foie gras and champagne can afford to have their crustaceans tipsy on a bit of the Dom before the hot tub, but what of the more pedestrian sea-roaches? The ones the unwashed masses, those NOT invited to the Davos Day-As-A-Refugee event, can afford? The prawn? The shrimp? The lowly crawdaddy? Glad you asked. Turns out PETA has been pushed aside by Crustacean Compassion founded to put an end to inhumane treatment of all crustacean species and build a body of scientific evidence justifying their cause. The next British Invasion is coming! For your low-country boil.

So the mud bug is, or soon will be, safe from a painful death. What of the mollusks? Pity the poor clam. Or what of the mussels? It is major bad chi to cook a dead mussel and eating one that did not expire in the cooking process is just not allowed. Even by gentiles. What of the insects, particularly those often [mis]characterized as pests? Crickets are entering the human food chain alongside snails (escargot), bees (chocolate covered) and grasshoppers (fried). When will these advocates for multi-cell life forms take notice? Take up the cause? And when will the umbrella of their concern shield the lowly single-cells from the inhumanity of our human race. When will they set their sights on our beer? Is wine untouchable?

But there is a limit. These are liberals run amok, but first and foremost these are liberals. Steeped in the religion and bowing only to the gods of liberalism in its increasingly singular and cohesive form. And there is one area, one holy ground upon which concern for the demise of an organism will not tread. That is the nascent life of the human species. Nary a care for the zygote. Nada for the embryo. Fetal pain? Right wing mythology. In liberal doctrine even nigh unto birth a child in the womb feels no pain. Scientific fact.

So the next time you find yourself at a soirée and over-served libs begin their "care more for the unborn than all the world's children" diatribe, ask them why they care more about the creation of Lobster Thermidor than the creation of a human being.

Another Mystery Solved

Ever wonder why the world seems so messed up? Well it could be the shakers and movers, particularly those attending the Cirque de Davos:

One notable event is a simulation of a refugee's experience, where Davos attendees crawl on their hands and knees and pretend to flee from advancing armies. It is one of the most popular events every year. [AJC]

So after fifteen intense minutes of Refugee Twister these One Percent of the One Percent swill down some champagne, the real stuff, retiring to a repast starting with amuse-bouche starring foie gras and caviar to share, amongst themselves, their epiphanous insights into real hardships of refugee crises across the world. Then, sadly, they share them with us.
