Hooray! Now I Can Get Some of That Blackmail — I Mean, Black Male — Money!

The Most Unserious Presidential Candidate Of All Time?
Manhattan Contrarian | 16 Oct, 2024 | Francis Menton

… in recognition that she is polling poorly with black men, Harris yesterday announced by Tweet a set of new policies to pander to that demographic group. Excerpts from the Tweet:

Black men deserve a president who cares about making their lives better. . . . Kamala Harris will create an Opportunity Agenda for Black Men. . . . Provide 1 million loans that are fully forgivable up to $20k for Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business. . . . Support education training, and mentorship programs that lead to good-paying jobs for Black men, including pathways to become teachers. . . .

Could Harris and her campaign not have realized that racially-segregated government handouts like this are wildly unconstitutional? They would not survive challenge before even the most left-wing politicized federal District Court judge. Today the campaign realized its error. The headline from today’s Wall Street Journal is “Kamala Harris’s ‘Agenda for Black Men’ Will Be Open to All, Campaign Says.”


 


 


 

Straight Line of the Day: Worst Wedding Songs

I read some news article about how some bride had banned certain songs at her reception, and someone chimed in saying that they’d been to a wedding where the bride forbid “Having a Good Time” by Queen (I can’t see the problem with it; perhaps she’s just been to too many weddings where it was played).

Anyway, I thought I’d throw it out there as a Straight Line.

Either at the ceremony itself, or the reception.

“Revolution 9” or anything by Yoko Ono, of course, top the list.


 


 

Cartoons and Memes

“Well Mr. Walrus it is decision time.”

“Yes I know, nothing lasts forever.”

“Shall we call it the end?”

“I think we should let the people decide.”

“Well the poll is ready and the question to be asked is, Should we end the Cartoons and Memes on Thursday night?”

“We had a good run but fewer and fewer people are voting, so perhaps we can think of something else to interest them.”

“I will miss hosting but I am sure you will find something else for me to do.”

“No worries about that for sure.”

Winner

8.

News You Can’t Use: Cat Videos From Space

The NASA Cat Video Explained

jpl.nasa.gov | 1/29/24 | Ota Lutz

… NASA beamed a cat video from space. It was all part of a test of new technology known as Deep Space Optical Communications. While the video went down in cat video history, the NASA technology used to transmit the first ultra-high-definition video from deep space also represented a historic advancement for space exploration – the potential to stream videos from the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Governments screw up everything. The cat video (a link to it is at the source article) isn’t remotely (heh!) funny. It’s just a cat chasing a laser-pointer red dot.

Plus, they’ve got it backwards; they should be sending cat videos to deep space. Distract the aliens so they’re too busy to attack! Beam each video in a different direction, so the addicted aliens have to chase them around like — well, a laser-pointer red dot.


 

Could’ve Been Any One of Us

Today Marks Jeremy Brown’s 4th Birthday Behind Bars Since His Arrest After He Released Video of FBI Agents Requesting He Work as an Undercover Agent on Jan. 6 – Jeremy Brown Did Nothing Wrong
Gateway Pundit | Sep. 30, 2024 | Jim Hoft

Jeremy Brown did nothing wrong.

Jeremy Brown, a former Green Beret, is a political prisoner of the Biden-Harris regime.

THREE YEARS ago this week, the US government arrested Jeremy Brown on two misdemeanor trespassing charges.

The arrest was executed by the very same federal agents who were part of an attempt to recruit former Green Beret Jeremy Brown to spy on law-abiding citizens as a paid confidential informant in the weeks prior to January 6, 2021.

MSG (Ret.) Jeremy Brown became a target of the FBI after he released the recording of the conversation he had with the FBI JTTF agents who tried to recruit him. Brown has been a political prisoner of the weaponized U.S. government every day since his arrest. The arrest warrant for misdemeanor trespassing charges–which wasn’t even issued until NINE months after January 6th and TEN months after the attempt was made to recruit him–was executed by the SAME TWO agents who tried to recruit Brown to become a paid confidential informant.

…

Jeremy’s arrest and the five-and-a-half-hours-long raid on September 30, 2021, took place one day before his October 1st birthday. This year will be the fourth birthday (his milestone 50th!) that American hero Jeremy Brown will spend behind bars.


 

Fourth Amendment? Are There Really Four?

If You Think Student Loan Forgiveness Is Bad…
nysenate.gov

NYS Senate Bill S6181A 2023-2024 Legislative Session Removes the requirement that rent arrears be repaid (by the various social programs).

In other words, DSS, Section 8, and all the other myriads of social programs will NOT pay back rent during the pandemic period to present (beginning March 13, 2020) so the landlord must forgive/eat the losses. It does not specifically state that landlords must wipe any arrears but can that be far behind?

The Magic of Media Collusion

Excellently-written article dissecting Harris and her handlers. And introduces a new, perfect phrase to describe her.

Why Can’t Harris Answer a Simple Question?
washingtonexaminer | October 11, 2024 | David Harsanyi

… Harris is a thermonuclear platitude dispenser. Few people in American history have expended so many words to say so little.

Her turns of phrase are often so cartoonishly ludicrous they should be used in college textbooks to explain what a “tautology” is to students.

“I grew up believing that children of the community are children of the community.”

“It’s time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day.”

Normal people don’t talk this way. Harris does. All the time.

In any event, let’s just say extemporaneous speaking isn’t Harris’s strong suit, either. The presidential candidate has an uncanny ability to respond to straightforward questions in circuitous, mind-bending arrays of irrelevant non-sequiturs.

 … if 2024 is really the most pivotal election in the republic’s history — or, as Harris might say, a “moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future” — why don’t we have candidates who reflect the significance of the moment?  

Because if you carefully listen to Harris’s words, you are confronted with a vapid, political creation in way over her head. Though, alas, if history is any guide, she has all the qualifications we expect of a president.

Guy on the right looks for all the world like he’s saying, “Get in the trunk.”
