Link of the Day: Derek Hunter on Racism
A long-ish article by a great writer. I’ll just post excerpts. It seems to me to be a proper summation of the subject.
I Can’t Bring Myself To Care Anymore
Townhall.com | January 31, 2021 | Derek HunterThere was a time when an allegation of racism was one of the worst things someone could be accused of. Now, it’s a punchline. Back in the day, the word had meaning – aside from an occasional Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson shakedown, it was not cavalierly tossed around to score political points and it was not reported on without something close to irrefutable proof. Now it’s a debate tactic of the left to avoid serious engagement and cover for a lack of factual back-up. Everything is “racist” now, and as someone who actually used to care, who was disgusted at the concept and its existence, thanks to the weaponization of the term, I can’t bring myself to care about it anymore.
As someone who cares about the real problem of racism, I can’t bring myself to do it anymore. When no matter what you do you’re labeled a “white supremacist,” what’s the point? If everything is racist, nothing is racist.
Racism, of course, does still exist, but it exists in such small doses and from all quarters. Yet, Democrats have redefined the terms around it to the point that they’ve taken all meaning out of it. Now only white people can be racists, all white people are racist unless they’re sufficiently “anti-racist,” which is code for “Democrat in good standing.”
Meanwhile, Black Lives Matter-ANTIFA rampage, destroying lives and they’re cheered, revered by the “woke” establishment, covered for by the media, even nominated for Nobel Peace Prize.
I’m done. I can’t care anymore. Show me real injustice, and I’m there. But when a political party waters down true injustice to score politically and drowns out reality with their latest tactic, I’m out.
Racism still exists. In a nation of 330 million people there are always going to be a few bigots around, of every color. But this country isn’t racist, fundamentally or otherwise. The Democratic Party is. And as long as they continue to engage in that racism and get away with it, people will continue to suffer and the few real victims who exist will continue to be ignored for the politically convenient and manufactured victims. I’m not going to be a part of it, so I’m going to join the majority who tune it out.
Republicans don’t have the wherewithal to spot it, nor the underpants content to effectively counter it. As long as they remain afraid of the charge, it’ll work. For my part, that kid who scrambled to find someone who cared enough to do what was right has now heard wolf cried too many times, for too many things where there wasn’t a wolf or even a dog to give a damn anymore. If turning people off to fighting real injustice was the goal, mission accomplished, Democrats.

White House Press Pool
I haven’t run across the “NOQ Report” before, and don’t know what the acronym stands for, but their take on the news is refreshingly good:
How Long Can Journalists Keep Smiling at Biden White House?
NOQ | January 29, 2021The sweet and fluffy coverage can’t last forever.
Before President Joe Biden was sworn in to the Oval Office, the American people received a glimpse of what hard-hitting journalism would look like for the next four years. From staying mum on the Hunter Biden story to having “chills” over watching Biden’s plane land at Joint Base Andrews, the pro-Biden “why are you so wonderful” reportage has been embarrassing.
…
The Scoop Of A Lifetime…
The mainstream press and the American people were given a scoop of a lifetime when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki revealed that Biden’s favorite ice cream is chocolate chip. There has been no confirmation yet if the White House maintains a large freezer full of cold treats. But what is the deal with the Swamp and the frozen dessert? Four years ago, CNN made a big deal about then-President Donald Trump receiving an additional scoop of ice cream over his dinner companions. . . .
During the first day of the new administration’s White House press briefing, a reporter asked Psaki if Biden intends to alter Air Force One’s color scheme. Psaki was ebullient over the question, but she could not respond, promising to offer an answer to the pesky journalist’s inquiry at a later time.
One of the funniest developments in the early days of the Biden era has been the president’s violation of his federal mask mandate. As part of his executive action, everyone must wear a face mask when they set foot on federal property, like the Lincoln Memorial or the White House. Since enacting the measure, Biden has routinely violated the order, going as far as coughing into his hands while talking. When Psaki was asked about this by a Fox News reporter, she said that Biden has “bigger issues to worry about.” Remember when former President Donald Trump stood 100 feet away from people outside at the White House without a mask, and the cable news channels had the footage on replay for an entire week?
Links of the Day: Shakespearing Biden
You know how we’re always inviting submissions? Well, it’s paid off, at least for fans of Shakespeare.
The creator of the blog DaddyBear’s Den [“Episodes from the life of a middle aged dad”] saw the recent Julius Caesar parody here, and wrote:
Hi! I have a few blog posts that I published last month that might dovetail with the Caesar post from the other day. They’re a riff on MacBeth.
They are pretty great. I’ll just give a sample of them, here. Not a line is wasted in any of them, and parody and sarcasm do contend all the way through.

Voters seem dead…”)
FIRST WITCH
Where shall we three meet again?
In Atlanta, or Phoenix, or in Philly town?SECOND WITCH
When the hurly-burly’s done,
When the election’s lost and won.…
THREE WITCHES
Fair is foul, and foul is fair,
Make all the votes say “Biden” there.
He parodies the famous “Double, double, toil and trouble” speech — but I don’t want to give away all of his humorous twists.
OK, just one more sample:
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and… something,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to… you know, the thing

David Blackmon Listens To Drivel So You Don’t Have To
Joe Biden is an Addled Sock Puppet for the Deep State
DB Daily Update | Nov.21, 2020 | David BlackmonLadies and gentlemen, I give you the man who claims to be the president-elect of the United States of America:

This is the corrupt, pathological simpleton the deep state is about to install – their word, used consistently over the course of 2020 – as the next President of the United States of America. He’s a sock puppet, nothing more. He isn’t physically or mentally capable of being anything more than that.
