I’VE LINKED ROBERT BIDINOTTO’S BOOKS HERE BEFORE. HE’S A FELLOW WRITER WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A GENTLEMAN AND A TRUE FRIEND: I didn’t realize his wife was in a serious health crisis, and that he needed help till I saw this link today. Yes, I do realize it’s gofundme. I think he’s been deep in this, and hasn’t paid much attention to politics. I also realize the need is massive and we’re all limping. Again, we don’t have the massive deep pockets of NGOs or other organizations. But we do have each other. And it’s all we have. So, it has to be enough.

I HUMBLY SUBMIT THE LEFT WAS ALWAYS ELITIST. AT LEAST ALL MY LIFE, NOW OVER HALF A CENTURY: The left and the Elites.
The left blinded itself to its own elitism, but leftist have been elitists ever since Lenin claimed the workers needed intellectuals to lead them, and communism called itself ‘scientific’. The left always thought of itself as smarter and more enlightened. Such people given power will burn the world, and toast virtue signal coated marshmallows on it, while doing it. After all, if the world is too stupid to understand their genius, it deserves to burn.
The working class who followed the left were always dupes.
PLEASE! Bring back the chaos then.

THE WHOLE ‘MCHENRY KICKS PELOSI OUT OF HER HIDEAWAY OFFICE’ STORY GETS EVEN MORE AMUSING:
In an update to this story, we’re learning that it wasn’t McHenry but McCarthy himself who was behind the call to get Pelosi kicked out of her hideaway office, something few on the House side have outside of high-ranking members. Further, the person who will be utilizing that office will be … McCarthy:
Kevin McCarthy was behind interim Speaker Patrick McHenry’s move to kick former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer out of their office spaces, two Republican sources told CNN.
GOP Rep. Garret Graves told reporters on Wednesday that McCarthy is getting the office that McHenry has ordered her to vacate.
“Look the deal is that the office that Pelosi is in right now is the office of the preceding speaker. Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats determined that they wanted a new … speaker, and [that makes the new preceding speaker] Kevin McCarthy. So, he’s getting the office,” he said.
Good for him. As Jonathan Turley writes:
Notably, in his farewell remarks late last night, McCarthy said that Nancy Pelosi had assured him that he could return to the rule allowing any member to seek to vacate the chair because she and the Democrats would stand with the Speaker. If so, that was a statement consistent with the long values of the House. There were certain acts that were deemed as beyond the pale. Vacating the chair to make a statement was viewed as inimical to the institution. Despite decades of fierce political divisions, there were times when partisanship would be set aside.
As Democrats profess alarm over government shutdowns and the lack of legislation on key issues, this vacating of the chair will only delay business in the “People’s House.” It was certainly a thrilling moment for many, but few would argue that it was good for the institution. Indeed, they are more likely to get an even more conservative and strident speaker than McCarthy.
As for Republicans, they will now have to negotiate with Rep. Matt Gaetz and the other seven members to be able to resume business. In the meantime, much of the business on the border, the budget, and the impeachment inquiry will have to wait in abeyance.
Now that we have the deck chairs sorted out, can we proceed to head towards the lifeboats?
FLASHBACK: Trump and the crisis of the meritocracy: Is the era of stable American government over?
Kinda looking like it.
EX-MLB PITCHER TREVOR BAUER EXPOSES JAW-DROPPING SCHEME OF #METOO ACCUSER:
On Monday, embattled MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer posted a video to X (formerly known as Twitter) breaking his two-year legally-imposed silence due to allegations of sexual assault. In what turned out to be a just-under four-minute video posted to his verified X account, Bauer relayed his side of the story, complete with screenshots of his accuser’s own words and texts. Words and texts that were written in the aftermath of the #metoo sexual assault hysteria whipped up by the Left.
“‘Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers,’” Bauer began reading a text written by his accuser, Lindsey Hill. The text was sent to her friend before she even met Bauer. Wow, can you say premeditated?
Bauer read on: “What should I steal,” the accuser asked a friend in another text, referencing an upcoming visit to Bauer’s house. “Take his money,” the friend replied.
So how might an enterprising and promiscuous young woman go about stealing money from a wealthy young MLB player? Simple: during a sexual hookup, accuse him of assault, of course. “I’m going to his house Wednesday,” Hill wrote. “I already have my hooks in — you know how I roll.” After that meeting, Hill’s friends continued to egg her on after she found out Bauer’s “net worth is $51 mil.” “Bitch, you better secure the bag,” was the friend’s terse response, meaning she should make sure she gets evidence to use to get money from Bauer.
Hill had a plan. “Need Daddy to choke me out,” she wrote. “Being an absolute whore to try to get in on his $51 million.” Could her plan and motive have been any more clear? Not really.
Read the whole thing.
LOL: Sunak steps in it: “A man is a man and a woman is a woman.”
Sunak was trailing badly in polls to Labour challenger Keir Starmer earlier this spring, but has lately come into a bit of a surge himself. He’s announced renewed drilling and oil exploration in the North Sea, and last week quickly pivoted from Green champion to protector of the working class by rolling back significant portions of the UKs NetZero goals. Labour, Green cultists, and leftists howled with outrage, but Sunak’s polling proved he’d struck just the right note at a time when Brits were stretched to their limit.
Is this another notch in his belt for sanity and the middle-class?
Or is your average union member or cafeteria worker happy about woke, gender-identity driven policies costing precious taxpayer pounds being the NEW “norm,” when they know damn well it’s not “normal” at all.
I feel like the woke empire is crumbling. It was founded on bullying and they’ve hit their limit.
