Jack Klugman as Jessie Cardiff in The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool 1961

Jessie Cardiff: There it is- the game ball. All my life i’ve been waiting for this, it’s it’s a pocket hanger.

The Twilight Zone: A Game of Pool 1961

Back in the days when I was first going to CPAC I found myself in line to get into an event with Michelle Malkin (who graciously filmed a “hello” video for my brother). In the line behind me was a gentleman who claimed to have had an affair with President Obama. He was quite emphatic & gave interesting details but with only a single source & no corroboration it wasn’t a priority to me.

This was before his re-election and his “change of heart” on gay marriage.

It was about that time or maybe a few years later that I first heard the “Michelle Obama is a man” rumors. I dismissed them out of hand thinking that I’m not a fan of going after a first lady & anyways it would be so easy to disprove that it was to be ignored. It was for the same reason that I dismissed the same lines about the French president’s wife, which is now the subject of a lawsuit.

As you might know this weekend at the fight at the White House, one of the fighters, after his victory bluntly and loudly said that Michelle Obama is a guy.

I found this fascinating for a couple of reasons.

  1. It was done at the most public forum avaialble
  2. There seems to be no movement or effort by anyone to make the guy retract the statement
  3. There is every possible incentive for the Democrats to urge the Obamas to sue because
    • There is now a very long precedent of defamation suits by leaders, Trump has made an art form out of it.
    • The Obama library is in debt already & a settlement would help in that reguard
    • That this happened at a Trump event should make Democrats chomping at the bit to sue.
    • When the current first lady was defamed by the press her threat of a lawsuit brought a quick retraction.
    • Such a suit would mean that every republican running for office could be asked “do you believe it?”
    • It gets der Oysterfurher in Maine off the front page.
    • It would be the most easy thing in the world to prove as false

That last one is a kicker, a photo of a pregnant Michelle Obama, a hospital picture with the newborn kids, easiest thing in the world to produce, cripes even a DNA sample taken today could do it.

Yet not only has it not produced a suit or even a threat of a suit but it’s already off the front pages assuming it ever made it on the front pages.

Moreover on X one of the biggest Gadfly’s to the left has publicly said this:

Now this was posted to X where the fellow has 4 MILLION followers. Even if you weren’t interested in suing the fighter you could bankrupt & destroy this fellow who has been one of the strongest voices on the right for quite a bit. It would be a one foot putt or as Jack Klugman’s character Jessie Cardiff in the Twilight Zone episode a game of pool put it: “A pocket hanger”! It’s a shot you can’t miss. One tiny DNA sample & it’s game over!

I ask myself a simple question: “Why would the Democrats not go all in on this, particularly when the latest polls show their generic lead in the midterms dropping?”

There is a logical answer to this question. That logical answer isn’t evidence but it does make one think.

If anyone from the left has a more logical answer I’m ready to hear it.

Closing thought: Even if the party or the Obamas aren’t interested in doing so, there are a ton of leftists on X and/or Bluesky who would absolutely LOVE to take down Catturd & claim his scalp. It will be interesting to see if anyone on X files a complaint against him or talks about doing so publicly.

It would be more interesting if such a person was approached by the Democrat party & told not to.

…the wikileaks releases continue to put lives in danger.

Heroes of the American Left, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange, have destroyed the best hope for ridding Zimbabwe of madman Robert Mugabe by releasing U.S. State Department cables of communications between Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, the leading opponent of Mugabe, and U.S. and E.U. officials, in which Tsvangirai secretly expressed support for sanctions against the brutal Mugabe regime as the only way to establish democracy in Zimbabwe.

He quotes this atlantic article that laments the results of the leak:

Any damage to democratic reforms from WikiLeaks likely comes not from malice but naivety. Assange is probably not best described, as Vice President Joe Biden recently put it, a “high-tech terrorist.” Rather, he, his organization, and their activist supporters believe that they can promote democracy by making an enemy of secrecy itself. What we’re seeing in Zimbabwe, however, is that those methods won’t necessarily be without significant collateral damage.

Chris it is not naivety, it is indifference. The goal is to hit the US and if some people who support democracy elsewhere end up dead who cares? This is the left, it is all about making ones self feel good (and no that wasn’t a reference to the great skank debate)

I’m with L Douglas Garrett:

The very idea that opposing Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF kleptocracy is in any way ‘treason’ against the nation of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) is shall-we-say open to dispute… although the medieval definition of ‘treason’ as an indignity against the person or property of the monarch might fit. Were that to be so in this case, of course, that would simply advertise more widely what is already known; that R. Mugabe and company see the state as their personal property.

I’ll say it plainly: In my opinion, conduct by any citizen of that nation that expedites the departure of the Mugabe regime is patriotism.

That’s about it.

Via Michael Graham, remember this is a field trip of a public school:

And here is what Graham says, he is exactly right.

This wasn’t a private school trip. It’s a public school, and students are lining up to pray. Can you imagine that happening on a field trip to a church or synagogue? Then again—have you ever HEARD of a Massachusetts public school visiting a church?

The worst part to me is the “we were feminists first” nonsense. Tell that to the Muslim women in Europe today wearing burkhas and bowing to their husbands in public. As Charles Jacobs points out, it’s utter nonsense.

If they were taken to a Catholic Church and prayed (they could not be given communion under Catholic Rules btw) the MSM would be in an uproar, but then again we Catholics don’t behead unbelievers (and those on the left who scream Spanish inquisition give me some examples from the 20th century) while those who suggest drawing Islam have to change their names and run.
