ITEM 1: Breitbart reported, "A California teen is being lauded after he helped save his father’s life after a truck had fallen right on top of him.
"Matthew Wilkinson was working on the brakes of his work truck with his 15-year-old son, Dalin, on a late Monday night at their Oakdale home when the rotor became stuck."
And I thought I had accomplished something when I got my sons as teenagers to mow the lawn.
ITEM 2: Michael Goodwin wrote, "FBI, Big Tech, Big Media: Partners in collusion."
He cut to the chase on the release of Twitter documents regarding Twitter censoring stories about Hunter's laptop just before the election.
He wrote, "We do know the FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop for a year before the New York Post started to reveal the contents. You don’t have to be a cynic to wonder if the agents waved Facebook and Twitter off the story because they knew it was true."
The FBI and Antifa are the DNC's muscle. Big Tech services them.
ITEM 3: Meanwhile, Kane at Citizen Free Press cut to the chase with this headline, "Elon Musk and twitter shut down 50,000 child porn accounts in 24 hours."
It linked to a Daily Wire story, "‘Zero Tolerance’: Suspension Rate Nearly Doubles For Twitter Accounts Exploiting Child Sex Abuse Material."
That's right. The same Twitter censors who suppressed the Hunter laptop saw nothing wrong with child porn.
No wonder the pre-Musk tweeps censored the word groomer.
ITEM 4: MEAWW reported, "Liberals call Hunter Biden Twitter nudes 'revenge porn' as they STILL refuse to believe laptop story."
Yep.
The DNC dictates a narrative and the media regurgitates it.
ITEM 5: Life News reported, "The Fourteenth Amendment, which was adopted in 1868, declares that no state shall 'deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.' A debate that has been raging in courtrooms for years is whether the life part includes unborn persons.
"Harvard Law student Joshua Craddock did some constitutional soul searching to answer that question in a new report for the Harvard Law Journal, concluding that unborn babies do fall under the Fourteenth Amendment’s protections."
Women were sold a bill of goods on abortion rights.
ITEM 6: The Daily Caller reported, "Disney is set to close its iconic attraction Splash Mountain on January 23, 2023, due to accusations that it promotes racial stereotypes.
"Splash Mountain, which opened in 1989, is themed around Disney’s 1946 film Song of the South, which has been described as racist due to its portrayal of plantation life during the reconstruction era.
"The ride will be replaced by another attraction themed around the animation The Princess and the Frog, which is starred by black heroine Tiana."
Dumbo, you're next.
ITEM 7: The boycott of Twitter begins to crumble.
Amazon is also planning to resume advertising on Twitter at about $100m a year pending some security tweaks to the company’s ads platform, per a source familiar with the situation. https://t.co/VWQJX4HZEp

Money talks, woke walks.
ITEM 8: AP reported, "Moments after Fred McGriff was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, almost two decades after his final game, he got the question.
"Asked if Barry Bonds belonged in Cooperstown, a smiling McGriff responded: 'Honestly, right now, I’m going to just enjoy this evening.'"
Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and other steroid cheats were denied once again because the selection committee has standards.
McGriff the Crime Dog had 493 homers in 19 seasons in the bigs. I think Bonds got that many in one season but too darned bad.
ITEM 9: Reason reported, "Arizona Town To Pay $8 Million to Widow of Daniel Shaver, Shot While Crawling Unarmed Toward Police.
"The cop who killed Shaver was fired. But he will receive a disability pension for the rest of his life because he claims he has post-traumatic stress disorder."
The award to the widow makes sense. Paying a disability to a man who mistook a pellet gun for a rifle makes no sense at all.
ITEM 10: The Daily Mail reported, "Elon Musk alleges disgraced former FTX crypto exchange CEO Sam Bankman-Fried donated over $1 billion to Democrats and asks 'Where did it go?'"
I don't know where it went, but I do know what it got.
ITEM 11: Breitbart reported, "Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced former CEO of FTX, on Sunday dodged House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters’ (D-CA) call to testify."
The FBI arrested Trump official Peter Navarro for not appearing before the J6 Witch Hunt Committee.
SBF stole billions in a crypto currency scam, but he made sure he bought off the right politicians. He will never be arrested for anything.
ITEM 12: Zero Hedge reported, "Alameda's Caroline Ellison Spotted In NY Amid Speculation She Is About To Roll On SBF After Hiring Iconic Clinton Lawyer."
The story said, "As Sam Bankman-Fried enters day six of his whirlwind media tour in which he makes one or more daily appearances -- against the advice of his lawyers -- in hopes of convincing someone that he was too dumb to be a criminal mastermind with billions in crypto in cold storage and in bank accounts in Dubai and Singapore (luckily all his wire transfers can be traced), also known as the Simple Jack defense the weakest link in SBF's defense was just spotted in a New York coffee shop, amid speculation she is preparing to blow up SBF's entire defense strategy.
"According to Autism Capital, the former CEO of Alameda Capital (which as a reminder was ground zero of the FTX implosion after it blew up $8 billion in FTX client funds on trades gone horribly wrong), Caroline Ellison, was spotted at 8:15 am this morning at the Ground Support Coffee on West Broad in SoHo Manhattan."
She lawyered up. Hmm. Maybe she will sing. But who in the Biden DOJ will listen?
ITEM 13: The New York Times alleged, "Iran Shutting Down Morality Police, Official Says, After Months of Protests.
"The move appeared to be a concession to the protest movement that erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman who was being held by the morality police for supposedly violating Islamic dress rules."
Big, if true.
ITEM 14: Fortune magazine reported, "China dumping its draconian ‘zero COVID’ policy could come at the huge cost of rampant infections: ‘This will spread like wildfire.’"
Maybe populist movements can win.
Just not here.
ITEM 15: Outkick reported, "The Texas Rangers made the biggest splash of the MLB offseason so far in signing star pitcher Jacob deGrom."
He's the Mets ace pitcher and he signed for oodles of money,
But Jon Heyman of the New York Post said money alone may not have lured him to Dallas, where the Rangers play,
Heyman said, "But he seemed sullen a lot from here, and word is, deGrom’s people got early word to Texas they were interested. That shouldn’t surprise. He’s very much a DeLand, Fla., guy. Folks around the team say this came out in the pandemic when he openly talked against northern rules and masks and vaccinations, even though it meant extra precautions and greater risk to the team."
Masks did not stop covid and vaccinations were oversold. But New Yorkers know so much better than the rest of us.
The real reason may be that New York has a state income tax and Texas does not.
ITEM 16: Computer World reported, "Amazon plans to lay off as many as 20,000 employees across the company in the coming months, including distribution center workers, technology staff and corporate executives—about twice as many as previously reported—as the retail and cloud computing giant retrenches after going on a hiring spree during the pandemic."
That's double the number NYT alleged a month ago.
It is still barely 1% of Amazon's worldwide staff of 1,500,000 people.
FINALLY, my weekly column on Substack posted on Saturday, "Republicans can't win without Trump supporters."

Item 15: Don't forget city income tax too.
ReplyDeleteHe would still have to pay NY state and city taxes on income earned from games played there. They are very efficient in that regard.
DeleteLet's not overlook the fact, besides taxes, NYC sets the standard by which other shit holes are measured.
DeleteAfter the says of Guiliani and Bloomberg, NYC is indeed a shithole. Why would any sane tourist visit there? Back to the 70s for NYC. Sucks to be you. But it's an unforced error.
DeleteHeyman's Post colleague Joel Sherman pointed out that over the last two seasons, DeGrom was a frequent visitor to the MRI machine, so there was a degree of prudence in the Mets' modest offer.
DeleteHome base money making online job to start getting paid every month extra $15k or more online. just do this job in part time and make extra cash from home. Q10 easy job. details on this page…… www.EarnCash7.com
DeleteStop the presses! The Mets have just signed Justin Verlander to replace DeGrom, reuniting him with former teammate Max Scherzer.
Delete2 - every day, the FBI loses more credibility. It’s hard to watch an old TV show where FBI agents are involved and not want to turn away.
ReplyDeleteAgree, 110%. No credibility left all. Disband and salt the earth.
Delete3&4 - we already knew who was opposed to free speech. Musk is just proving it.
ReplyDeleteJust isn't he. Musk and Trump have ripped off a lot of masks and what we see is very, very ugly.
DeleteAmen. Very, very ugly. Much has developed stealthily "under the radar".
DeleteTeaPartyGal
And as Goodwin pointed out, there is still much more to be revealed.
DeleteTrue there is. But Goodwin is managing to write his column(s) about Twitter without mentioning Trump. Interesting.
DeleteLuAnn, that's because "mysteriously" every relevant Fox / NY Post single writer, columnist / editorial was commanded to trash Trump. And they did it simultaneously. Could not have been more obvious.
Delete"Gentlemen! We need to protect our phony baloney jobs!"-the cry of the Republicans in the House this coming January. Or will they actually start correcting the wrongs?
ReplyDeleteNah...

ReplyDeleteThat's right. The same Twitter censors who suppressed the ???????
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the pre-Musk tweeps censored the word groomer.

Item 9......the pellet gun was in the hotel room. The victim this moron cop shot was completely unarmed. I saw the video. Crawled on his hands and knees doing everything the idiot cop ordered. The audio tells another story, the cop couldn't hardly wait to shoot the poor guy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw the video too. From what I remember, the guy was crawling and it looked like his shorts were coming down and he reached back to pull them up and the cop unloaded on him. There was no need to make him crawl, they could have just cuffed him if they felt threatened by the guy. The worst part is the cop now gets 'disability' for being a trigger happy idiot.
DeleteThat is disgusting and gives police officers a bad name.
DeleteItem 6: "Dumbo, you're next."
ReplyDeleteI'm 75, and even when I was a youngster. I was repulsed by how the crows were portrayed. Later in life, I learned that it was the only way Disney could get SotS shown in the South, but it still was revolting.
I’m a couple of years younger than you, but I remember it as a cartoon, like roadrunner and the coyote, I can’t remember ever being “repulsed” by how cartoon characters were “portrayed.”

"The DNC dictates a narrative and the media regurgitates it."
ReplyDeleteGreatest evidence of this was how on Friday, nearly every media goof who commented on the Twitter expose used basically the same sentence (doing PR work for world's richest person) to attack Tiabbi.
Yes, like "a memo went out" with the "buzz words du jour".
DeleteFor a long time I've wanted to know WHO exactly it is sending that memo. The only thing I've ever seen that came close to pinpointing that was an article once on an organization called "Truth in Media", (haha, what a name-- "truth"), and all the big media players are members in it and the purpose was to "coordinate" addressing "disinformation" etc.
But after that one article, I never saw anything else about that organization. It probably is part of the shady network that tried recently to establish as a new government agency on Disinformation.
I think most of us that read this blog are normal, good people who have a stronger than average interest and knowledge about politics. But even for us, it has been hard to grasp just how corrupted things have gotten. That kind of extensive corruption is just alien to good people.
And it also shows why we will never "win" by trying to beat the Left at their election cheating games. Instead, we have to purify and simplify the process to ELIMINATE OPPORTUNITIES for cheating (e.g., paper ballots, no machines, one day voting, voter ID, strict AUDITS, etc.)
TeaPartyGal
Agree with eliminate opportunities for cheating. The Rs will never outcheat the Ds and would likely be arrested for it. The problem is I am not sure the opportunities will ever be eliminated.
DeleteActually, many Red State legislatures did ALOT last year to further tighten up their election systems, though the media didn't cover it. But the Blue states didn't.
DeleteMaybe lawsuits by "voters with standing" in specific cities, counties, etc., could force some clean up. Conservative voters in Blue States must be steaming mad and frustrated.
Also, we all can give $$ to Tom Fitton's Judicial Watch-- they have been very dynamic in suing to get voter rolls cleaned up.
And maybe with the legal expertise Judicial Watch has on staff, they could come up with a specific, instructional "Action Plan" that us ordinary folks could put into action in our local areas.
TeaPartyGal
Good ideas, TeaPartyGal. (I remain skeptical but I I hope you are right and your ideas are solid.)
DeleteItem 12 - SBF may legitimately claim to be dumb, but last time I checked, stupidity is not a viable defense for committing a felony.
ReplyDeleteAgree, but he's in the protected class so nothing will every happen.
DeleteClemens does not belong in the same paragraph as Sosa and especially Bonds. He took miniscule amounts to help mend his pitching arm. The same result could have been achieved with legal substances. A older pitcher cannot benefit from artificially increasing the strength of his arm, because he will destroy his pitching arm. Throwing a baseball at 100 MPH is an extremely unnatural act
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Clemens was cheated by the steroid era in that batters like Bonds who increased his size from 185 lbs to 235lbs destroyed his ERA. Clemens was more victimized by cheating than victimizer
He cheated...Get over yourself!_Watch the "Roid-a-holic's rage, ehen throw the shattered bat piece at Piazza in 2000 W.S. signed, a Yankee fan. zb
Delete*edit* /when he threw the.../
DeleteIf Bonds had refrained from the substances, he would be in Cooperstown since his numbers prior to his cheating were good enough for entry.
DeleteOne aspect of steroid use that most people dont understand and which gave it the bad rep (that it deserves) is the manner in which it was used when it first appeared. You did a "steroid cycle" in which you injected an entire months worth of this hormone into your body AT ONE TIME. This would play havoc with your liver and your mind, literally turning you into a homicidal maniac. I saw this first hand 40 years ago. These steroidasauruses were scary people. People died at their hands when they went into Roid rages
ReplyDeleteWhat Clemens did was not even remotely similar to this. I would guess that his normal dose was .1 percent of the "steroid cycle" dosed. If steroids had been taken this way from the beginning, nobody would have had any problem with steroids at all.
My father was given cyles of steriods when he had a serious viral infection. This saved his life at the time. Like any drug, it needs to be prescribed and taken responsibility -- not to hit more homeruns in baseball.
Delete...or bulk up (see Clemens lankier pre-steroids frame in the '80's. zb
DeleteItem #5. Now do the people still imprisoned because of J6
ReplyDeleteThat Harvard Law student will never find a job.
ReplyDeleteNot very likely. He might as well hang out his own shingle and be self-employed.
DeleteLuAnn, The Harvard lawyer could be hired by many pro-life organizations, that is, if this student is actually pro-life. Also consider that this could be nothing more than a publicity stunt. Lawyers routinely are trained to argue all sides of an issue.
Delete#2 Post columnist Goodwin and Twitter docunents: Yeah, he cut to the cut to the chase on the release of Twitter documents regarding Twitter censoring stories about Hunter's laptop just before the election. But he managed to write his whole column without mentioning Trump (I do not recall seeing a mention.) I don't take him seriously anymore.
ReplyDeleteHe jumped off the train a while ago.
Delete#3 Musk and Twitter and child porn -- Good for him. It's about time. Now, if only Disney would stop being a groomer.
ReplyDeleteThey are addicts. Can’t stop.
Delete#7 re: The boycott of Twitter. Oh yeah, just like the boycott of Spotify.
ReplyDelete#16-- Amazon layoffs. Yes, there was high growth during the pandemic at many companies. Now there are layoffs.
ReplyDelete#13 - re: Iran and the morality police. Regime propaganda. I don't believe that for a minute. Even if they have been "officially" disbanded, they will reappear in another form.
ReplyDelete#4 "Liberals call Hunter Biden Twitter nudes 'revenge porn' as they STILL refuse to believe laptop story."
ReplyDeleteThe phrases "PR for the world's riches man" and "revenge porn" were included in almost every tweet made by corporate media news readers (I refuse to call them journalists) in their responses to the release of the twitter files. It is obvious the talking points went out telling them "okay guys, this is how we are going to handle this, so get to it".
Who decided upon that strategy and sent out the marching orders?
"But New Yorkers know so much better than the rest of us."
ReplyDeleteWhere are the grammar police ?
In NYC
DeleteTouché!
DeleteItem 8 "Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and other steroid cheats were denied once again because the selection committee has standards."
ReplyDeleteJust curious, Don. How come they keep rejecting Curt Schilling? Some think it is because Schilling has expressed some non-woke opinions.
I don't think his numbers are HOF. 216 wins in 20 seasons?
DeleteAgree. Andy Pettit deserves the HOF more than Schilling.

A) "Item 11: SBF stole billions in a crypto currency scam, but he made sure he bought off the right politicians. He will never be arrested for anything."
ReplyDeleteHe'll be Epsteined. He knows too much.
B) Elsewhere: Well, this scenario had to eventually happen.
At the end of the regular season, a college football head coach bolts from his team for a HC job elsewhere, and that Elsewhere Team is playing His Old Team in a Bowl Game two weeks later.
Scenario, Meet Your Twin, Reality:
Satterfield (Louisville FB HC) bolted, and is now the HC for Cincinnati, replacing Luke Fickell, who went to Wisconsin.
Satterfield now coaches Cincinnati against LOUISVILLE in the Fenway Bowl (NYC 12/17/22).
We're about fifteen minutes away from the new head coaches in any bowl game switching jobs at halftime.
Compounding the insanity is the Louisville AD, who, having named Deion Branch as Louisville's Interim HC, flat out states that Branch will not be considered for the full time position as Louisville HC, thus destroying Branch's motivation to win the game (aside from any lingering allegiance he might have once had for his alma mater).
C) 12/06/22 (4:15 am): See you guys later, I guess --- just got a "hate speech" warning from Google/You Tube (just like Amazon book reviews in 2017) and next up my account will disappear (presumably, the same with my Gmail account, etc.).
On the positive side, I'll stop wasting so much time on You Tube. This will force me to re-orient myself away from so much Google-centric (whether or not I was/am aware of their tentacles), which in the long run, I am certain, will be liberating.
GO ELON MUSK!
