Once You Read Adolf Hitler Admired America You Have To Wonder What he Saw

The left is as repellent in the media as the right, and, unfortunately, when you put them together, that image adds-up to being seen as the American character. In the media. But - again: unfortunately - it's not limited to it. Can't stop, don't stop, won't stop. Being an asshole.
Man in his 20s went for simple neck adjustment at chiropractor and ended up with LOCKED-IN syndrome should prove there's no such thing as a "simple neck adjustment" at the chiropractor's. But that's not good enough for most people. It's quackery as an international business because most people need to have it happen to them before they'll listen to anybody. I don't care for most people.
Once again, making sure his white bonafides are in order, Trump Fumes the U.S. Has ‘Too Many Non-Working Holidays’ On Juneteenth, when, I would say, America has too many hypocrites all year long, and that fish is rotting from the head. The American character. Can't stop, don't stop, won't stop. Being an asshole.
J.K. Rowling: “Which rights have been taken away from trans people?”

 Boy George: “The right to be left alone by a rich bored bully!” 

 J.K. Rowling: I’ve never been given 15 months for handcuffing a man to a wall and beating him with a chain.

That previous example, above, is proof that, if you think Whoopi Goldberg epitomises the stupidity of the modern progressive mind, then you haven't really had to wrestle with the stupidity of the modern progressive mind. Until somebody does a documentary on Oprah, y'all don't even play-fight with it.
I've said many times that the Democrats need to find someone who's left the fold - or was chased away - to lead now. So it's not surprising Tucker Carlson is doing a better job than Democrats of countering Trump on Iran. He's a Dead Head and former San Francisco kid, so it makes sense that he not only got sick of the left's bullshit but Trump's, too. He'd never consider leading the Democrats (and they'd never consider asking him) but his example can at least show how it's done: giggle uncontrollably in high-pitched outbursts, People.
BTW, rather than a Dead Head, this is the current Democratic Party leadership: a Jewish zombie AND a member the undead right out of the movie Sinners, in case you didn't get it's message.
No War With Iran Will Erase Israel's Crimes in Gaza. And siding with Israel - after it's crimes in Gaza - hasn't been wise. It's been pure hubrisThe American character. Can't stop, don't stop, won't stop. Being an asshole.
This is NOT Judaism, but the cult of zionism, and we shouldn't want to be associated with it. They're killing - NOT fighting back. Because this whole asshole thing, it really catches on.

Gall (Gaul)

"France is continuing a long tradition of decrying racism abroad while obscuring it at home." 

And patting themselves on the back, the whole time, for doing so.

"I Have Been In You" - Frank Zappa, Sheik Yerbouti 1977


They keep thinking they can walk it back - after I saw their true natures:



I keep thinking - if what I saw is how they truly are - then this is how it's got to be:



They're done, Son.


Now all I can wonder is how they saw me, when I used to tell 'em to leave race alone.




They're not listening now - even to themselves.


If they were, they'd be wondering:


Without justice, what are they offering that's so damned attractive?

Drug Use Makes More Sense Than Being Straight In This

 

Only American whites will stay away from a film, about the violence this country inflicted on blacks for generations - claiming they're "too sensitive" to watch - and then feel satisfaction it's not as successful as their former slaves hoped.


Only American whites will produce a TV show, about the drinking problems of a rich white guy in Boston - claiming it's "totally realistic" - and then be disappointed blacks couldn't care less.

Changing The World: That's What It Is - What It's About


This throws a twist on the phrase "instruments of torture":


“I used to spout opinionated nonsense about mixing being just two records playing together and that it’d be as easy as pressing play. Twice. But, after having tried to do it myself, I can see how wrong I was.


Do I feel like my misplaced sense of superiority has been lubricated then handed back to me to be firmly shoved up and into my own ass?? Absolutely. I couldn’t hold the mix for any length of time, it was like a different language.”

Yeah, kinda like knowing math, intuitively,...

Earth, Wind & (In The) Fire: That's The Way Of The World


The ritual beatings continue, and now Ann Coulter's getting in on the act:
“We don't need to jettison our principles; we just need to stop screwing up."
Impossible, Annie. American politics is a popularity contest, like high school. Ideas and principles don't matter. The quarterbacks and prom queens have everything locked up - despite being committed to nothing, knowing little about doing so (or those who do) and almost always being wrong - while those who've studied, to give us an accurate portrait, catch Hell and/or endure being ignored. 

I was told, before we lost the last election, they're "fine" with losing.

They have each other, and I'm alone, left to ponder the worth of being right. 

And my life, now that I've been pushed away from their nonsense?

It's a day at the beach,...

This Is The Bullshit That Feminism Has Orchestrated

 
See, in the old days, this loudmouthed bitch would've been eating that desk so fast she'd have thought she was a woodpecker, but today? This dude has to show total restraint until her silly ass attacks him, only to get thrown to the ground. It's sad, man. Especially because you KNOW he got in trouble for touching her - for not taking the ass-kicking she was determined to dish out - instead of the simple egg salad toss she eventually got. The shit is simply wrong.

 Word to the wise: 

 If you're going to get in trouble anyway, under this system, EARN that shit,...

Sticking Her Nose (Job) Where It Doesn't Belong



This is great - one of my favorite NewAgers in the music biz, Lady Gaga, flipped out on the New Music Express about her latest song, Born This Way, which a lot of people happen to think sounds a lot like our other favorite NewAger in the music biz, Madonna. The Amplifier blog called GaGa's outburst "her very own version of the Five Stages of Grief!" except they added one stage I've never heard before:
Religious Pandering:


[Starts crying] "I feel like honestly that God sent me those lyrics and that melody. When you feel a message to give to the world and people are shooting arrows at it... there's no way for something that pure to be wrong."
Now that's a great bit of logic there! But here's my question:

Is there ever going to be a NewAger who doesn't use their feelings ("Nothing more than feelings,...") as the ultimate justification for trying to get their way? (Or, in this case, attempting to change reality?) They need to try a new schtick, if you ask me, because their own feelings ain't cutting it. News to GaGa:

Ain't nobody else feelin' it.

We're On Him (His Friends Can't Help Him Now)

Everybody knows he's wounded, but some are catching the whiff of blood:
The fact that Obama quickly gets lost in the weeds when he’s taken off message should put a big fat bull’s-eye on him for any of his opponents in his upcoming reelection campaign. A point I’ve made in other forums and repeat here is this: A sufficiently ruthless opponent would not defer to him but take any and every opportunity to discomfit him. What this, and similar episodes, shows is that he has never had to deal with a very public event, from which he cannot escape, in which he’s lost control and is being made to look bad. That thin veneer of cool would quickly melt. He doesn’t improvise well and doesn’t know when to stop digging: it’s tough when you believe deeply that you’re the smartest guy in the room. In fact, the person he least respects has the greatest opportunity here. Media mavens that run our so-called debates can be counted on to try to keep things predictable. Obama’s opponents should not accommodate that ruse.
They're going to keep crying "racism", of course, but it is, was, and always will be the arrogance of the man - his hubris - that loosed the hounds on him.

That, and his always having been wrong.

Still More Evidence Reiki Works: She's Healed!

I love this one - sincerely, here's a story just made for TMR:
A Staten Island belly dancer jiggled her way out of a sweet deal with her ex-husband after he found pictures of her shaking it on the Internet, a judge ruled last week.

Dorothy McGurk won a settlement of $850 a month for life and the couple's home by convincing a court three years ago that a 1997 car accident left her too injured to work.

The payday ended when Brian McGurk went back to court after spotting a blog where his ex-wife boasted of cutting a rug and dancing "everyday for three years."

"My belly dancing is the reason why I adore myself so much," McGurk, 43, posted on the blog, including photos of herself grooving at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, a new age gallery in Chelsea.

"Today I decided to dedicate myself more to my dance," she wrote. "Even though I dance everyday, it's not enough. It won't be enough until I dance for you all, until you feel my euphoria.

"Today as I danced myself silly, I lifted my head and elongated my neck as I swirled around," she wrote in another post. "And then it happened, I got really, really high."

Thomas Kyle, a lawyer for Brian McGurk, said the blog posts convinced Richmond County Supreme Court Judge Catherine DiDomenico the dancer was fit enough to fend for herself.

"She told outright lies," Kyle said. "If she could blog for hours, if she could dance the day away in Manhattan, then how is it she couldn't hold down a job?"

In one Facebook entry, a friend asked Dorothy McGurk why she had not posted photos of herself from a recent belly-dancing performance.

"Gotta be careful what goes on line pookies," she answered. "The ex would love to fry me with that."

Confronted with the damning evidence, Dorothy McGurk told the court she was prescribed belly dancing as treatment for her injuries - a statement her doctor contradicted on the stand.

DiDomenico stripped McGurk of her settlement last week and ordered her to pay her ex-husband $5,000 plus interest for lawyer's fees.

McGurk was also told to move out of the couple's house, and her ex-husband was awarded 60% of its value because she "worked only two years of this 11-year marriage," the judge wrote in her decision.

"The court credits husband's testimony that wife slept all day or otherwise spent her day on the computer participating in Internet blogs," the judge wrote.

Dorothy McGurk, who testified she is a trained Reikki spiritual healer and can "channel God's light to facilitate healing," could not be reached for comment. Her ex, a U.S. Post Office mail carrier, also could not be reached.

"He's just happy that this is all over and he can move on," his lawyer said.
Because, as we all know, NewAge is all about truth, and compassion, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Good luck to her husband.

Yes, They Really Do Talk With Their Eyes Closed



This is the commentary from South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone about their episode called "Smug Alert",...



And this is Tim Flannery, an actual environmental asshole from Australia, that I found on Tim Blair's blog.

I'd say that's a bullseye.

This Is The Stupidest Dance Ever Invented



Obama is another jackass who can't quite grasp that, while we're listening to him, we're not taking him seriously:
Part of the problem is that the American distrust of intellectualism is itself not the irrational thing that those sympathetic to intellectuals would like to think. Intellectuals killed by the millions in the 20th century, and it actually takes the sophisticated training of "education" to work yourself up into a state where you refuse to count that in the books. Intellectuals routinely declared things that aren't true; catastrophically wrong predictions about the economy, catastrophically wrong pronouncements about foreign policy, and just generally numerous times where they've been wrong. Again, it takes a lot of training to ignore this fact. "Scientists" collectively were witnessed by the public flipflopping at a relatively high frequency on numerous topics; how many times did eggs go back and forth between being deadly and beneficial? Sure the media gets some blame here but the scientists played into it, each time confidently pronouncing that this time they had it for sure and it is imperative that everyone live the way they are saying (until tomorrow). Scientists have failed to resist politicization across the board, and the standards of what constitutes science continues to shift from a living, vibrant, thoughtful understanding of the purposes and ways of science to a scelerotic hide-bound form-over-substance version of science where papers are too often written to either explicitly attract grants or to confirm someone's political beliefs... and regardless of whether this is 2% or 80% of the papers written today it's nearly 100% of the papers that people hear about.

I simplify for rhetorical effect; my point is not that this is a literal description of the current state of the world but that it is far more true than it should be. Any accounting of "anti-intellectualism" that fails to take this into account and lays all the blame on "Americans" is too incomplete to formulate an action plan that will have any chance of success. It's not a one-sided problem.

If you want to fix anti-intellectualism, you first need to fix intellectualism and return it to its roots of dispassionate exploration, commitment to truth over all else and bending processes to find truth rather than bending truth to fit (politicized) processes, and return to great, foundational humility that even the press could not overplay into hubris. And they need to drop their blinders whereby they excuse away the damage that intellectuals have done while ignoring these ancient precepts and only crediting themselves their successes, because it cuts themselves off from the very object lessons that could help them return to this time-tested approach to science, which they still flatter themselves that they follow. If you fail to fix the intellectuals first, then all your effort to fix "Americans" is going to fail; you'll bend your efforts towards getting them to look at intellectuals seriously, but they'll end up coming to the same conclusions they already have about the value of intellectuals and you'll have wasted your shot.

I'm not holding my breath.
And why should we? Especially now that we stupid folks - the real Americans - are getting the upper hand? Remember when I used to speak of the opposition and Alice In Wonderland, back in the New Dark Ages, and I told you they're nothing but a deck of cards? Well now we've fully arrived, and can see through their lies, so all they've got left is to flail. Or I should say, all the Left has is to flail.



And flail they will. Enjoy the show.

Call Me (Whenever You Get It Figured Out)

It's weird how NewAgers are always saying, if I would just do as they tell me, I would be able to get rid of my ego and be a nicer person (like I'd want that) but those same NewAgers don't blink an eye when the daytime TV Queen of NewAge, Oprah Winfrey, reportedly has a problem controlling her "ego and hubris".

The great holy men of India are supposed to have conquered this problem as well, but there's just one little problem:

"'They are very egoistic,' said Anand Bardhan, the administrator overseeing the Kumbh. 'One moment they suddenly become angry and the next moment they will shower lots of affection. You need to understand their nature.'"
Oh, I understand their nature, alright. It's called hypocrisy. As Shinie Antony says about Indian Essentials, the new collection of essays on Indianness, or the Eastern way of seeing things:

"Three potentially addictive pieces are Samrat’s Hum Log, the Sex Log, Srividya Natarajan’s Gold’s Fools and Jerry Pinto’s Talking Bollywood. The first delves deep and dirty into our moral hypocrisies, the second lays bare the gilt in our bling and the third, of course, talks drolly of Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna. These take the content and form debate firmly into the latter’s lair. When the substance is new age and subversive patriotism, style has to play imp."
It most certainly does. Face it: most NewAgers have to make up their own belief system because - being to cowardly to ditch the whole "spirituality" charade - that's the only way they can have a religion that'll accommodate their bullshit:

"It is telling that Kitty Kelley's new biography of Oprah Winfrey accuses the star of making up childhood sex-abuse stories to enhance her career -- something that would have been unimaginable in any other culture but our own and in any other age but this one."
And what age, exactly, is that again?
