Editing the Wall Street Journal

Posted on August 23, 2017 | Comments Off on Editing the Wall Street Journal

Editor-in-chief Gerard Baker excised several conclusions from the WSJ’s coverage of the president’s Phoenix rally. Admonishing reporters:

“Could we please just stick to reporting what he said rather than packaging it in exegesis and selective criticism?”

That’s what was leaked to the NYSlimes, anyhow, as the WSJ reporting staff fought back against removal of their editorializing. Concluded the Slimes:

“The Wall Street Journal is owned by the media magnate Rupert Murdoch, who speaks regularly with Mr. Trump and recently dined with the president at the White House.”

Oh, horrors. Well, I guess we know what Gerard’s work is worth, eh?

Alt-left attacks the Phoenix police

Posted on August 22, 2017 | Comments Off on Alt-left attacks the Phoenix police

Bottles of urine again. From Antifa. They of, as the president said, at last: helmets, black masks and clubs.

This time they were met with pepper spray and tear gas. Way to go, cops.

UPDATE:  And rubber bullets and concussion grenades.

Coincidences at sea

Posted on August 22, 2017 | 4 comments

“Adm. John Richardson, U.S. Navy chief of operations, told reporters that the collision is ‘obviously an extremely serious incident, and is the second such incident in a very short period of time, inside of three months, and, you know, very similar as well, and is the [latest] of a series of incidents in the Pacific Fleet in particular. And that gives great cause for concern that there is something out there that we’re not getting at.'”

No kidding, Sherlock. Second destroyer hit by a tanker, this time in broad daylight, in three months. Following a cruiser collision earlier this year with a fishing boat and a cruiser grounding in Tokyo Bay. Why all in the Pacific?

UPDATE:  Seventh Fleet c.o. gets the boot. Well, that’s a start.

Short, short skirts and ever-plunging necklines are the new norm in teevee news. The content doesn’t matter.

Cowardly spirited away in the dark of night

Posted on August 21, 2017 | Comments Off on Cowardly spirited away in the dark of night

Statues of Lee, Johnston, Reagan and Hogg were removed around midnight Sunday from the University of Texas campus. So the pathetic snowflakes wouldn’t melt with indignation.

General Robert E. Lee, of course, led the Army of Northern Virginia; Albert Sidney Johnston was a Texas general killed at Shiloh; Texan John Reagan was the Confederacy’s treasurer; and first native-born governor James Stephen Hogg’s only apparent “crime” seems to have been being the son of a Confederate general.

When Duty Calls

Posted on August 20, 2017 | 2 comments

“When the left loses it always gets violent, it always creates diversions, it always uses its hold on the media, and it always proceeds according to the dictates of their crazy cult.

“I don’t think we can turn them back at this point. Cultists have [too much] trouble breaking out of their vivid dream to think clearly. Absent a sudden onset of sanity I don’t see it happening.

“It is the duty of every sane person to both counter their narrative and to try to fight off the inevitable overreaction.”

Such as the loony tunes idea that 14 percent (blacks) of 300 million are going to start a race war.

Antifa to the barricades

Posted on August 19, 2017 | Comments Off on Antifa to the barricades

Berkeley’s new, first woman chancellor decides to have a Free Speech Year. Which is fine, except it will mean bringing in right wingers to give speeches. And then participate in forums.

Something tells me this will not end well.

The WSJ’s Daniel Henninger gets it right: “Stories about Antifa’s organized violence are trickling out now, but there is no conceivable journalistic defense for having waited so long to inform the public about this dangerous movement.”

And they will disrupt the Free Speech Year because they oppose free speech.

UPDATE:  They practiced against the police in Boston’s so-called “peaceful” protest against free speech.
