Virtue Signaling Isn’t Virtuous—and Actually Makes Political Tribalism Worse
Fee Stories | 9/04/22

In a speech on July 23, 2022, before the Conservative Political Action Committee, or CPAC, Sen. Ted Cruz introduced himself to the audience with the words, “My name is Ted Cruz and my pronoun is kiss my *ss.”

In 2019, the Vermont College of Fine Arts appealed to a different group. They replaced the term alumni – which is derived from the Latin masculine plural but traditionally used to refer to all graduates of the school – with alumnx. In its statement, the college said that dropping the traditional term “alumni” was “a clear step toward exercising more intentional language, which we strive to implement in all aspects of college life.”

In Ted Kennedy’s day, he’d get thrown out of yet another college for being drunk and disorderly at yet another college function.

… but who would curate intern photos then? And award Harveys and Obscurys? The FBI?

Hey, Walrus, have you ever gotten a royalty check? Yeah. Me neither. Just this:

CBS Reporter Ponders Whether Humans Should ‘Cease To Exist’
American Thinker | 22 Jan, 2024 | Eric Utter

CBS political reporter Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) took to ‘X’ to wonder whether it would be a “bad” thing if humans became extinct. She posted:

“Why do people work so hard just to continue the human race in apocalypse movies when the world is falling apart? Is it really all that bad if we as a species cease to exist?“

Woman, 32, who stabbed her date 100 times to death in weed-induced frenzy, is sentenced to 100 HOURS community service – as judge says she ‘had no control over her actions’ after cannabis caused ‘psychotic break’
UK Daily Mail | 1/23/2024 | Eve Simmons

A California woman who stabbed a man she was dating 100 times and killed him, before turning the knife on herself and her dog, has been handed 100 hours of community service.

Bryn Spejcher, 32, was given the astonishingly low sentence following psychiatrists’ ruling that the tragedy was ‘100 percent’ caused by cannabis-induced psychosis, which she suffered after taking two hits of the victim’s bong.

The judge ruled that Spejcher ‘experienced a psychotic break from reality’ and ‘had no control over her actions’ when she killed Chad O’Melia, then 26, on Memorial Day weekend 2018.

Comments:

“I see a bunch of murders in the future, using this defense.”

“A psychotic break after two hits on a bong?! Unbelievable.”

“And it took almost six friggin’ years for a sentence to be handed down?!”

Anger Management Therapist Charged With Murdering Man Found in Trunk of His Car
ny post | Jan. 22, 2024

A Florida therapist who specializes in anger management has been charged with murder for allegedly shooting a man to death as part of an ongoing dispute and then stuffing his body in his car.

“We got a couple of eyewitnesses, and I believe … the person right now he’s looking at the road, cleaning up the blood off the ground.”

The caller told the 911 dispatcher: “I just saw him drag the body across the road. He put it in his car, and then he left.

“And then he came back, and not even 10 minutes ago he started scrubbing the road, and now I see him in the yard with a flashlight looking around,” the person added, according to the outlet.

…

Deputies found the bullet-riddled body of 52-year-old Clinton Dorsey inside the trunk of McBride’s red Nissan Versa near Frankfort and New York avenues, according to cops.

While searching the area, the cops noticed McBride walking nearby and arrested him.

“We believe there was an ongoing dispute between McBride and our victim. I don’t know if they knew each other, but they knew of each other. It unfortunately ended in one man’s death,” Police Chief Jason Umberger told the outlet.

The deputies also spoke to a neighbor who said McBride came to her home the day before looking for Dorsey because he “put glass in a jar for his dogs,” [[ bowl? ]] Fox 35 Orlando reported, citing an arrest affidavit.

McBride allegedly told the woman he was going to kill Dorsey, whom she described as a “homeless guy who lives in the woods across the street from her house,” arrest records reportedly state.

1. Put glass in my dogs’ drinking water, and. yeah, I might get revenge. But I’m not an anger management therapist.

2, Once the body is in the trunk and the road is scrubbed, drive it away, Doctor Kill. What was your game plan walking around? I assume the fast police response surprised you. But you failed at the “Management” part of your degree, not only the “Anger” part.

3. It’s bad planning to tell your neighbor you are going to kill Dorsey, when in fact you are actually going to kill Dorsey, and then you actually kill Dorsey. Any first-year lawyer will tell you that.

4. Creating a bullet-riddled body surely makes enough sound to reasonably suspect that neighbors had become alerted.

5. So grabbing a flashlight and looking around was a good way to stay concealed.

Amateurs!
