Apparently, I Am A Sexist Bigot
Posted By: PageTurner, 12/7/2023 5:27:57 AM
The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure. What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women. No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes. The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.

The illegal migrant inflow is hitting record highs at Eagle Pass, Texas, and it's out of control at entries across the southern border.
Anyone ask what Mexico is doing about it?
We know they're trying to keep them from flooding Tijuana by building a border fence in that area.
But in that, they aren't stopping the migrants. (Snip)
In reality, the Mexicans are helping the migrants cross into the U.S. for the exact same reasons that red border states are busing and flying illegal border crossers into their sanctuary cities of choice. They don't want this problem.
Trump up by 50 in Michigan GOP race?
6 replies
The political class has spent a lot of time obsessing about former President Donald Trump's lead in the Republican early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. There's been less time devoted to how Trump is doing in some bigger states that follow the first three.
Michigan holds its primary just three days after South Carolina. It's one of the biggest states on the primary calendar. And now a new poll by the Washington Post and Monmouth University shows that Trump has a 50-point — yes, a 50-point — lead in the Republican race there.
The poll showed that 63% of likely Republican primary voters

Shakespeare would have had no use for President Joe Biden. If given the opportunity to dramatize his story, the Bard of Avon undoubtedly would have passed. His historical plays and tragedies were certainly partial to political leaders, and Biden has things in common with some of his most famous leading characters -- like Macbeth, he has political ambitions and a helpful spouse, and like King Lear, he has diminished abilities and problematic offspring -- but Shakespeare’s major characters were all deep and complex, prone to wander castle or moor emoting about an inner turmoil or bitter fate.

Our National Political History Deficit

Many Democrats, pointedly its ‘progressive’ left wing, enjoy thinking of themselves as ‘people-person’ trailblazers.
This collective and persistent fiction chiefly works because their ‘novel’ efforts cancel out quietly or die in silence, as failures. The brilliant, new ‘initiative’ du jour becomes unworkable—either upon execution or, worse, is frankly untenable for America--eventually. The progressive voice is the loudest and most constant while the majority are barely heard. This progressive public bullying is a problem now owned, if not altogether liked, by the Democrat party; it is rooted in the stupidities of our failed education.
Does the Washington Post have any credibility at all?
They censored this cartoon below after a few critics absurdly howled 'racism' -- all for depicting a Hamas spokesman accurately, and creating a thoughtful message that Hamas's howls about civilian attacks are disingenuous, given Hamas's war on Israeli civilians, including the 200-some hostages they hold. upposedly, they complained about the nose, expropriating from the complaints of caricatures directed against Jews done by anti-Semites.
Yeah, sure.
Did they want a little turned-up button nose on him?
And is Ramirez supposed to depict a terrorist spokesman holding hostages flatteringly?
Like an ignorant radical madrassa in some benighted fist-waving burg like Mogadishu or Kabul, George Washington University has allowed presumably students to project Jew-hating pro-Hamas statements on the wall of one of its august buildings in the heart of Washington, D.C. [Snip for tweet] "Glory to our martyrs"? "Divestment from Zionist genocide now"? "Free Palestine from the river to the sea"?
Had enough?
There's more. Adding insult to injury, check out the building they chose to spew their sickening Hamas slogans on:
Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian leading the polls in Argentina’s presidential election this month, has made a lot of contentious statements in recent years: Humans did not cause climate change; people should be able to sell their organs; his nation’s currency “is not even good as manure.”
But, to many Argentines, he has done something far worse: attacked the pope.
In 2020, Mr. Milei, a self-identifying Catholic, called Pope Francis an “imbecile” and “the representative of the Evil One on earth” because he defends “social justice.”
The deepening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip is driving a wedge between Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley, two of the leading Republican presidential candidates, who deviated sharply on Sunday over whether the United States should help Palestinian refugees from the region ahead of an expected Israeli invasion.
In an appearance on the CBS morning show “Face the Nation,” Mr. DeSantis, the Florida governor, doubled down on remarks he had made one day earlier in Iowa, espousing a hard-line opposition toward helping civilians who have been thrust into the middle of the conflict.
“They teach kids to hate Jews,” he said. “The textbooks do not have Israel even on the map.
The San Diego County Registrar of Voters office found that around 1% of voters for the Nov. 7 special election may have received duplicate ballots, it was announced Wednesday.
According to the registrar, the mistake impacts voters in the county Board of Supervisors District 4 special election and less than a dozen voters in the city of Chula Vista special election. Following discovery of the duplicate ballots, the registrar’s office “immediately contacted the print and mailing vendor to determine what happened and how many voters were impacted,” according to a statement from the office. “After researching, they reported that around 7,500 or a little over 1% of voters
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: The ridiculous

The border is in crisis, with a record-setting 304,162 migrants from more than 100 countries crossing into the U.S. in September alone. Experts are somewhat baffled as to why the surge is suddenly so strong now.
But not Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has her answer to why it's happening: U.S. sanctions on Venezuela.
She spoke to Face the Nation's Margaret Brennan yesterday, and on the transcript, you can see she started out kind of Kamala Harris-ish, repeating herself and stating the obvious (emphasis added):
With COVID back, censorship is back, and now it's taken a particularly dangerous form, not just on social media, but on leading academic exchanges.
The huge Social Sciences Research Network (SSRN), run by Netherlands-based publishing house Elsevier, is not a site most people know about, but it is a behemoth in academia, extremely important to professors for getting their work out there and advancing within the academic community.
That's where censorship on COVID is happening, which could have far-reaching consequences for public policy and the free exchange of ideas.
SSRN's plain, bare-bones front page on its site describes itself this way:
Tomorrow´s Research Today
SSRN provides 1,265,565 research papers from 1,365,420 researchers in 70 disciplines.

Another day, another leak.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has “sprawling” evidence against President Trump, CBS News reporter Robert Costa said citing sources.
“Based on our reporting at CBS News, the special counsel has phone records,” Robert Costa said. “He has memos and diary entries from key witnesses, like former Vice President Mike Pence, key eyewitness testimony from people who are inside the Oval Office with Trump.”
Robert Costa continued, “But they had something in the special counsel’s office the January 6th Committee never had which is subpoena power to really go deep with witnesses and not just get public testimony and some depositions....”
Christmas time is finally upon us. The perfect time of the year to sit back and switch on a wholesome film while you tuck into a box of chocolates.
As much as the festive season is about gift giving, the best part is lounging with a belly full of food whilst watching your favourite film.
But there are just so many to choose from, whether it be Die Hard of Home Alone, finding a film the whole family wants to watch can be a challenge. Thanks to IMDb, MailOnline have collated a list of the Top Ten Christmas Films of all time - so you can don't miss out on the must-see
Controversy surrounds far-left billionaire financier George Soros once more, but this time, the conversation isn’t centered around his political influence or financial dealings.
Recent photos shared on Daily Mail showed 93-year-old Soros taking a swim in Bridgetown, Barbados, with a muscular entourage have ignited a flurry of online criticism and speculative commentary about the nature of his companions.
One X user pointed out the eye-catching physique of the men accompanying Soros, quipping, “They say that money can’t buy love, but it can buy whatever is going on here,
Despite a multi-year campaign by the White House and its allies to convince the public that the economy is booming, the vast majority of Americans say they’re worse off today than they were four years ago. And despite claims that partisanship is driving the public’s sour mood, negative views about the economy and President Joe Biden’s performance are almost universal.
That’s according to the latest I&I/TIPP poll of likely voters, which finds that 58% say they aren’t better off than they were four years ago – before the COVID-19 pandemic – while only 34% say they are.
Meanwhile, a mere 23% of
President Biden ordered strikes on three locations in Iraq after three U.S. service members were wounded, one critically, in an attack early Christmas morning credited to a militia group backed by Iran.
In a statement Monday, National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said Biden directed the strikes against three facilities used by Kataib Hezbollah and affiliated groups, which claimed credit for the initial attack against U.S. personnel. The groups, the U.S. said, are all connected to Iran.
The U.S. attack was carried out by a one-way attack drone, according to the statement, which said the three locations were “focused specifically on unmanned aerial drone activities.”
Upon leaving the White House on Saturday before spending his Christmas at Camp David, Biden was asked by a reporter about his "outlook" of the economy going into 2024.
"All good. Take a look," Biden responded.
"Start reporting it the right way," he added with a smirk. Biden has repeatedly been critical of the press, which he accuses of focusing more on negative news than positive things that come from his administration.
But his approval among Americans continues reaching historic lows and his handling of the economy is a heavy factor in his unpopularity.
The Harvard University board is under pressure to resign over its handling of the anti-Semitism furor.
In the wake of burgeoning calls for Gay to resign, faculty members are now also turning the spotlight on the other 11 members of the Harvard Corporation - the Ivy League's powerful governing body which continues to support her.
One professor has even suggested an overhaul of the governance structure to give lawmakers the opportunity to appoint board members who represent the public interest, according to the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, the former Harvard Medical School dean Jeffrey Flier said he told board members Tracy Palandjian and Paul Finnegan to do more to address
Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been slammed for her Christmas post that called Israel a violent occupying force and likened Jesus to the Palestinians.
Posting on Instagram on Christmas Eve, AOC shared a photo of a child lying on a pile of rubble surrounded by wooden nativity scene icons.
Accompanying the photo, the New Yorker wrote: 'In the story of Christmas, Christ was born in modern-day Palestine under the threat of a government engaged in a massacre of innocents.' She went on to compare Jesus being hunted by King Herod to the 'right-wing forces' currently 'violently occupying Bethlehem.'
The Biden administration hoped to keep the Chinese spy balloon incident a secret and let the device move along without alerting anyone, NBC News revealed Friday.
On January 27, a phone call happened between Gen. Mark Milley and NORAD chief Gen. Glen VanHerck, Fox News reported Saturday. RELATED VIDEO — GOP Rep. Steube: We Need to Investigate Biden “Lying” About Spy Balloon: (Video) The outlet cited the NBC News report that said the administration initially wanted to hide the device from Congress and the public.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is working on legislation ostensibly intended to prevent mass shootings like the one that happened in Maine on October 27. The tragic incident took place when Robert Card, a member of the Armed Forces, went on a spree in various locations, killing 18 people. He was later found dead after a manhunt.
It was later revealed that Card had a history of mental illness and had even threatened violence against his fellow servicemembers at a military base. Yet, he was still able to legally purchase a firearm despite Maine’s yellow flag law, which allows for the temporary seizure of firearms from those deemed to be a risk
The city of Huntington Beach, California, one of the last conservative strongholds in the deep-blue state, has voted to cancel all of the separate month-long celebrations for various identity groups in favor of a celebration of the common history of the town.
The Orange County Register reported last week:
Huntington Beach leadership is ending the city’s current heritage and identity commemorations, such as Women’s History Month, and in their place will create celebrations focused more on the community’s history.
