Five Nasty Surprises Under the Fedora: 15 Million Day, Oddly not Blaming the Gun This Time, Bluesky the Robespierre Wet Dream, Israel Doing what Nobody Else Wants to do For Them and More Red Pillings

As Usual the great Bryon York does a spectacular Job in explaining how the desire to falsely call Donald Trump a rapist was pushed by a Judge with an agenda. Alas agendas are not the same as the law as ABC and George Stephanopoulos found out at a cost of 15 Mil.

There are plenty of lefty influencers who are well paid that Trump can soak, he should go after every one.

It will be a lot of fun to see the Trump organization continue to sue these folks and make them pay.

Justine Bateman and I both noticed something interesting about the left’s reaction to the CEO murder.

So not only is nobody calling for Gun Control as Justine notes, but nobody is blaming the gun this time for the killing, or as it should be if the left was consistent celebrating the gun.

Apparently people are the killers when the left approves of the killing and guns are the killers when they don’t.

Speaking of the left and violence…

Well without risk until Jan 21st 2025 anyway.

If the French Terror had social media Bluesky would be their spot.

Remember when it was said illegal immigrants were “doing jobs Americans aren’t willing to do anymore”?

Apparently the Israeli’s are the “illegal immigrants” doing the job that the west wants done but doesn’t want to dirty their hands with…

…albeit it’s done out of their own self preservation.

Of course I suspect Jihadi’s will get all the nuclear weapons they want once they’re done taking over England.

There is a group of people who will never listen to any kind of conservative media because in their mind to do so crosses some kind of “purity test” so the only time they get any kind of message that penetrates their bubble world is if someone else chooses to report it.

Enter Stephen A Smith:

The number of people who follow Stephen A Smith who have likely never consumed conservative media is considerable and he is a significant enough black voice that the MSM blacklists him at their peril, so when he is reporting that the FBI admits to having at least 26 informants on the ground on J6, that’s going to open quite a few eyes.

It’s as if the whole corrupt mess is collapsing and Trump isn’t even sworn in yet.

The Bulwark on Election Night: An Army of Richard Riches

Sir Thomas More: But Richard, that’s a little bribe. At court they offer you all sorts of things, home, manors, manor houses, coats of arms. Why not be a teacher? You’d be a fine teacher; perhaps a great one.

Richard Rich: If I was, who would know it?

Sir Thomas More: You; your pupils; your friends; God. Not a bad public, that. Oh, and a quiet life.

A Man for all Seasons 1966

This weekend I binge watched Tulsa King (highly recommended) but because my wife didn’t start with me I had to backtrack so she could catch up so in between I popped onto Youtube and there was an election night reaction video of the Bulwark.

Now I had watched reaction videos of all the other networks but these people were supposedly the “true conservatives” who had left the party because of Trump and were now pushing things like abortion and embracing far leftist because that’s what true principled conservatives do if they don’t get the nominee of their choice.

Check out the reactions and the people there and you’d swear they were a parody. It’s as if they never met a normal working class person or left the presence of anyone outside of the beltway who was not of the donor class.

It was especially interesting to see these supposedly expert people scoffing at the idea that people were hurting from inflation and how horrible the electorate is. Oh and I can’t wait to see Jonathan Altar starting hiding illegal immigrants in his attic as he said he would do, we should check back in six months to see if it’s happening. For me the real moment was Mono Charen declaring how America was not special or extraordinary because we elected Donald Trump over a woman who could not win a primary to save her life and whose entry into the political world was made possible by servicing Willie Brown’s willie.

It was the classic SNL 2016 election skit only without Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock there to mock the cluelessness, but what it really was comparable to was watching a group of courtiers in say the 12th to 16th century who spend all their time around the King’s court hoping to curry favor. Go back and watch scenes from the classic movie A Man for all Seasons. You will recognize these folks as the ones rushing on and off the barge after Henry VIII or in the inquiry pressing Sir Thomas Moore to give an answer and you will especially recognize them as Richard Rich whose primary purpose was to gain a position, any position that was above the common people so that the world would recognize their position.

And if some had to give up conservatism that they once supposedly championed for years well that’s a small price to pay for being above the mere commoners.

Now in fairness the Bulwark is a business and their job is to earn, and since they can’t earn on the conservative side they’ll service the left to keep those envelopes coming. Now I can understand that, I don’t approve but I understand and perhaps in an honest moment they might see themselves that way, but I suspect not, that’s the real irony here.

Look at that video. Every single one of them think’s they are Sir Thomas Moore, standing up to the king risking all for the sake of righteousness. Not one of them perceives that they are in fact an Army of Richard Riches all hoping to get Wales for themselves.

Kinda sad actually.

I’ve got principles, and if you don’t like them, well, I’ve got others

Groucho Marx

There are all kinds of niche markets in the world. We bloggers are a niche market, comic book people are a niche market, Doctor who fans are a niche market, Candle Pin bowlers are a niche market. Model Train people are a niche market. Baseball simulation gamers are a niche market Pinball is a niche market.

And if there is one thing that is true about a niche market is it’s this. Niche markets can only support so many people or producers. If the number of producers exceeds the market eventually they will disappear, even faster if the market contracts which often happens if there is a brief bubble of popularity.

The woke left is a niche market. It seemed larger because most normal people didn’t want to have to deal with that idiocy and found it easier to go along or ignore them. Because it was a loud niche market with some billionaires who had money to burn behind them, they seemed larger than they were but eventually you reach a point where the billionaires don’t want to fund it and the advertising people figure out there are too few eyeballs to be worth the money they are paying. It’s one think to be accepted at parties but the shareholders still want their return.

That’s why you see the retreat of DEI everywhere. Once people stood up to it people realized just how unpopular it was and it had the potential to cost them money companies ran from it like the plague.

And that brings us to Joe and Mika.

It’s quite possible that they actually believed that Trump was going to lose, and lose by a lot and thus continued to play to the niche market their network in general and their show in particular choose to embrace. Sure they and most of the left calling Donald Trump a Nazi had no problem with him for 60+ years but this was a matter of power for the left so after puffing him up in the primaries as a sacrificial lamb they dropped him like a rock when he became a threat to the niche they served.

And so for eight long year they made their living banging the “Trump is Evil” drum.

Then the bottom fell out of the market, the first sign was the Biden debate, the 2nd sign was the Kamala campaign and election day solidified it.

MSNBC kicked ass on rating on Election night because a lot of conservatives turned on the channel to watch them squirm, now that the election is over there simply is not enough of a niche market to keep them paid. So what do you do when you’re a couple in your Sixties and late fifties and the prospect of your television career is looking bad because your niche audience is going away?

Why you break out of that niche.

Yeah this move is going to upset Olberman and Jen Rubin and the Ladies on the view, but it has the potential to bring in eyeballs that normally might not give them a first look let alone a 2nd.

And there is of course always the potential of Trump calling in which would send rating and exposure through the roof.

Those two things may be enough for advertisers to decide to say put and the alternative of doing nothing is not likely to bring in the bucks. They saw the advertisers return to X they know where the dollars and eyeballs are so they are trying to do what is the primary job of TV personalities, attract eyeballs.

Jen, Keith and Jojo it’s not personal, it’s strictly business.

Oh and all that Trump stuff about being Hitler and a dictator?

If Trump wins the Popular Vote Watch the Left Suddenly Sour on the National Popular Vote Compact

I have been arguing for an awful lot of years that the National Popular Vote Compact is an attempt to disenfranchises votes of individual states so that elections can be fixed on a national level.

The left has pooh poohed this and deep blue states like California, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, New York, Illinois, Vermont, Connecticut and yes disgracefully my state of Massachusetts went along and signed this idiocy sure and secure in the knowledge that no Republican would every be popular enough and no Democrat so unpalatable enough that it would bite them in the ass.

And then came this from CNN

Now the catch is that supposedly this agreement kicks into gear when 270 EV’s worth of states sign it, but as the electoral college doesn’t vote on election day (They vote on December 17th) Red states could have legislatures ready to adopt this rule after election day so it will be in effect the day the electors vote. In fact it would be state law. And the best part is once those votes are cast those same red states can repeal said laws boom.

If this actually happens it won’t matter how long it takes Mariposa country in Arizona to count their votes, suddenly by their own rules California, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Connecticut, Vermont and yes my own Massachusetts will go into the Trump column.

Now I still maintain that this disenfranchises individual states but I have a feeling if the Kamala collapse continues I will suddenly find a lot of leftists from an awful lot of blue states and a ton of media will suddenly have my back and rush to the Supreme Court to have all of these laws stuck down. The irony of course is that I expect all three liberal judges will be with me on this one at the very least.

Now with Kamala collapsing so badly that the Washington Post and LA Times won’t endorse her it might be moot so I don’t know if this will be the result but if it is, it will be glorious!
