Friends, I actually have nothing to say about Russia, per se, but I do highly recommend this fascinating analysis, which apparently has gone viral. It connects the dots for us "right-wing nutjobs" and illustrates how, after the Trump-Russia hoax, which was enthusiastically embraced by the entire Washington and media establishment, it's relatively easy for conservatives, Republicans, and Trumpers to believe that the powers-that-be would stop at nothing -- nothing -- to ensure the defeat of Donald Trump and the enthronement of Joseph R. Biden. Moreover, our belief that the 2020 election was less than "free and fair" has substantial merit. It's a long read, but a worthwhile one.

In other news, YouTube has been fined by a court in Dresden, Germany for suppressing a video about an anti-lockdown protest. Boy, when the Germans start talking down to Americans on the topic of free speech, you know we're in trouble!

The MLB All-Star Game, which was moved out of Georgia because of that state's allegedly heinous and racist election reforms, has notched record-low TV ratings. Pro sports in general are suffering from a major ratings decline, and many believe that insufferable wokeness might have something to do with it. Personally, I'd say baseball is just boring to watch...but the wokeness doesn't help any!
Tucker Carlson is calling out the Dems for their "hysteria" concerning the election integrity measures under consideration in various states. Their apoplexy over modest changes to election procedures is pretty puzzling, it's true, but then again the narrative matters more to the Left than the truth, and it always has. They want to justify radical federal legislation to impose centralized control over all American elections, and you can see why: Trump proved that the American people aren't nearly as subservient to their establishment masters as was once believed. The Deep State wants to make sure that there won't be any more surprises like 2016 ever again. For all the Dems' huffing and puffing, though, it sure looks like their cherished election takeover bill is going nowhere...and red state election integrity bills are going to take effect, whether the lefties like it or not. Of course, if they don't like it, there's a simple solution: show up and vote!
My hometown of Rochester, New York is in the news again...for its outrageously high crime rates! Hooray! I don't know what all the fuss is about. A little gunplay now and then keeps a man on his toes, right? Be that as it may, I wish the Rochester Police Department all the best. They have a tough and thankless job to perform.

Finally, BIG KUDOS to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has held that restrictions on the gun rights of 18-20 year olds are unconstitutional age discrimination, in effect. Damn straight! Why college-aged Americans always lie down and take it while politicians (usually lefties) trample their rights, I just don't know. I say the 2nd Amendment applies to every adult citizen and legal resident. I mean, what's the point of having a Bill of Rights if the government gets to pick and choose to whom those rights apply?
Joe Concha is wrong on a number of levels. First, his report about the ratings is just plain wrong. The ratings were higher than 2019. Plus, he fails to talk about the streaming audience, which was a record for All-Star games. In addition, Ohtani plays big in the LA market, but not nationally.
ReplyDeleteConcha is the worst media analyst we have had in generations, which is why he is on Fox so often.
BTW, that ruling was a judge on the 4th circuit. There will be an en ban appeal, then maybe it will go to SCOTUS. This is not the final word.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't really care about ratings anyway. You're right -- TV ratings are generally heading down, and streaming is becoming more and more common. I don't think many baseball fans watch for the wokeness anyway. Heck, I watch football DESPITE the wokeness. I mean, if I only watched conservatives being conservative, I'd be watching Charlton Heston movies over and over. Hey, that's not a bad idea, come to think of it...
ReplyDeleteI would hope that many gun rights cases will be heading to SCOTUS. It's about time they did, and I like our chances there.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: Please refer to your immediately previous post for my misplaced response to your comment on crime in Rochester, N.Y. These "senior moments"; they intrude apace!
