Fake News on the Net

Chew over this NYPost quote from a media blog startup CEO:

“The vast majority of articles, videos, and other ‘content’ we all consume on a daily basis is paid for–directly or indirectly–by corporations who are funding it in order to advance their goals.” [Medium boss Ev] Williams wrote. “And it is measured, amplified and rewarded based on its ability to do that. Period. As a result, we get…well, what we get. And it’s getting worse.”

So watch yourselves out there. There’s a war on for your mind, as some wise but oft-discredited person has said.

Worth remembering

The United Nations building, also known as the home of the World Dictator’s Club, was built atop a mound of rotting garbage. How very appropriate.

Back in 2008, the under-mound, delicately known as the Turtle Bay landfill, was pumping out methane when disturbed. Wonder what it would pump out by now, eight years later, eh?

Some have joked, after the WDC’s recent Obama-backed condemnation of Israel, that President Trump’s empire should tear down the 40-story building and put up condos. But, considering the garbage, perhaps not…

Bruce Springstoned

Never cared much for his music and absolutely can’t stand him and his ridiculous pose as a simple Jersey working lad. And I’m doubling down on both now that he’s spouting the sham lefty meme about Trump’s alleged bigotry and lies.

“‘I’ve felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now,’ Springsteen said of Trump… ‘It’s as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Forget about where they are ideologically. Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility?'”

You’re pretty stupid Mr. Springstoned, if you think a man who made himself a billionaire doesn’t have “pure competence.” You leftist moron. You toad.

At least Paxton isn’t in on this one

Texas AG Ken Paxton threw in with California Attorney General Kamela Harris back in October in legally hounding Backpage dot com for alleged pimping. The political grandstanding case was thrown out.

Now Harris is at it again, bringing essentially the same charges disguised as “new evidence.” At least Paxton isn’t in on this one. He has his own legal problems, facing felony fraud charges which are going to court soon.

China says testing EM drive in orbit

Science fiction maven Jerry Pournelle says reports of Chinese orbital success with the fuel-free electromagnetic spacecraft drive rank up there with the importance of Sputnik 1 in its day.

Others have their doubts about anything the ChiComs claim and that, despite tentative NASA ground confirmation of the EM drive’s usefulness, it’s any more than a new cold fusion hoax. Stay tuned.

Why Trump Is An American Hero

“Donald Trump is an authentic American hero. He’s seventy years old and a billionaire. He could be retired, playing golf, bouncing his grand-children on his knee and making love with his super-hot wife. Instead he is tirelessly stumping around the country while being ceaselessly shat on by the entire Ruling Class, their media and their sycophants. He is literally risking his life to save the country he loves that gave him so much. Anyone who says otherwise is a charlatan or a fool.”

The suicidal American left

More from the Z Man (after thanking JD for cluing me in to this guy) on the perils of the Dim attempt to change the electoral vote:

“The truth is, the Left in America is a cult, a suicide cult, that seeks to pull down the support beams of society so the roof collapses on all of us.”

They want a civil war, it seems, which is typically thoughtless of them since about 99 percent of them are unarmed. A “velvet revolution” maybe? Not here, not now. More like blood in the streets of Washington, D.C. and certain cities in California. We won’t fight each other and we know where they live.

“The absurdity of the Russian hacking claims should be enough to put this story to bed long ago, but the media is run by the Cult so they are pumping air into this story every day….The Clinton people were desperate to get their scandals out of the news so they made up the Russian hacking stuff…the public does notice that the people in charge are unwilling to abide by their own rules. To some degree, that is why Trump won the election.”

That’s what “drain the swamp” was all about. Even taking a few truckloads of the Ruling Class’s piss and poop out of it will be salutary for the rest of us. I’m betting, for instance, that our good governor Rick Perry is going to be turning out the lights at the Department of Energy. Ms. DeVos may do the same at the Department of Education. Hence the Cult’s frantic effort to overturn the rule of election law, as they already did with law enforcement at the DOJ and the FBI to save the Hildabitch’s fat butt.

“The number one duty of every ruling elite is to maintain public support of the system that props up the ruling elite. Progressive attempts to kick the legs out from under the system could eventually work. The fact that they will be the first ones sent to the gallows does not seem to bother them. In fact, they probably long for it.”

Indeed, that’s what cults do. They long to follow a Jim Jones and drink the Kool Aid. Good luck, suckers!
