Flotsam and Jetsam - A Day Late and a Dollar Short

I didn't do a lot of due diligence yesterday, thanks to a fishing trip, so let's see how far I get today before throwing my hands up in disgust.

KT at Hat Hair is disgusted by Biden's Thanksgiving hypocrisy, Biden Calls for Unity as his White House Released Thanksgiving Guide on ‘Crazy MAGA Nonsense’. Nick Arama at TownHall is thankful for Biden Being Heckled by Protesters in Nantucket Before Dining at Curiously-Named Restaurant, Brotherhood of Thieves, fittingly enough. Atop Da Hill, 5 questions looming over President Biden at Thanksgiving. At NYPo, the divine Ms. Devine wants you to Meet the Iranian-born Biden military aide reportedly under investigation for major influence campaign: ‘Clear and present danger.’ At The Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.24.23, Director Blue: Mark Levin – Congress Must Investigate The Traitor Anthony Blinken and from Behind the Black, Real pushback: Soldiers punished by Biden for refusing jab now sue for billions

At Da Caller, Biden Admin Preparing To Finalize Barrage Of Methane Regulations, banning beans? Hat Hair's Dave Strom explores  Biden's Clean Energy Scam Fund.  Monica Showalter at Am Think reports Kamala Harris poses for Thanksgiving photo in front of a gas stove "What is it about food and kitchens that brings out Kamala Harris's inner phony?" What's "inner" about it. The Free Bacon reports the Biden Admin Gave $3 Billion Loan to Solar Company Accused of Scamming Elderly. "'Ripping off old people': Over 50 consumer complaints filed against Sunnova in Texas since last year." Buck Throckmorton at Aces THE MORNING RANT: Garbage Inflation Data – The Government’s Official Inflation Rate Includes a Laughable 34% Reduction in Consumer Health Insurance Costs Over the Past 12 Months "Have you heard the great news about inflation falling? The Biden administration is heavily promoting the storyline that inflation is low again, and trying to insinuate that the falling inflation rate means that prices are actually decreasing. The obedient regime media is playing along. Here is just one example last week from CNN." Althouse catch the WaPoo spinning inflation, "Even though he had ordered a novelty item, Olive’s video about a $16 McDonald’s order went viral, racking up hundreds of thousands of views." From "The viral $16 McDonald’s meal that may explain voter anger at Biden/As some Democrats fear social media is exaggerating economic problems, the White House faces a crucial choice on election strategy" (WaPo). The argument for censorship oozes between the lines: "TikTok abounds with misleading or inaccurate information about the economy.... [Some] economists fear that these exaggerated stories will ultimately lead to a worse outcome — perhaps helping Trump win reelection...." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.23.22 (Thanksgiving Edition)  Louder With Crowder spots Woman Has Epic Melt Down Over Gas Prices, Yet Believes The Christian Right Is To Blame For Some Odd Reason. At Da Wire, Gavin Newsom Implies Inflation Pains Are A Conservative Lie. WSJ, Voters See American Dream Slipping Out of Reach, WSJ/NORC Poll Shows, "Fewer believe that anyone who works hard can get ahead."

TNP has another poll that suggests  RFK’s Presidential Bid Hurts Trump More Than Biden. I still think it's an open question. Matt Margolis at PJM hears Tucker Carlson Makes Grave Prediction for 2024... And He’s Probably Right. Democrats will pull out all the stops to stop Trump, even more than 2020. Like the ancient Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." Althouse is intrigued by Oliver Stone's comment to Bill Maher, ""I mean, do you know for a fact that [Trump] lost? I'm just curious," said Oliver Stone. "I just don't know all of the facts." Ace, Oliver Stone Tells Bill Maher The 2020 Election May Have Been Falsified. "Bill Maher is an NPC who pays for sex." Nobody can independently verify everything of interest. As some level we all rely on others for most of our knowledge, and biases absolutely play a major role in who we choose to accept information from. Don Surber attempts to explain How Republicans win "It’s the economy, stupid, and the stupid immigration policy." And cleaning up voting, too.

At OAN, Ethics Panel Votes Against Probing Rep. Bowman’s Pulled Fire Alarm Inquiry. Marty Walsh at the Conservative Brief notes Schiff Facing Accusations About Primary Residence As He Runs For Senate In CA. Will he take over as Maryland's third Senator?

Jim Robbins at Am Spec, Liberals Bizarrely Rewrite History to Slam Trump "Resurrecting this dormant constitutional provision is a greater threat to democracy than Jan. 6." Nicole Silvero at Da Caller reports New York City Mayor Eric Adams Accused Of Sexual Assault, but will he be sued for slander when he denies it?

From The Wombat's In The Mailbox: 11.24.23Tim Rivers is thinking about what's slowing down Taking Action on J6 Video Footage. How can you reasonably deal with 14000 hours of video?  I was thinking about some kind of time and space database. 

At Twitchy, Classy As Ever: Michael Hayden Tweets His Contempt For Americans During Thanksgiving Week. They really do hate (and fear) us. Chris Queen at PJM, Here's Proof That Atlanta's 'Cop City' Protesters Were Domestic Terrorists

Nate Hochman at Am Con says End the Twitter Gulag "Uncertainty about standards itself serves a censoring function.  Just over a year into Elon Musk’s hostile takeover of Twitter (now X), the social media platform’s approach to regulating speech is no less arbitrary than it was when Musk assumed control in October 2022. There have, however, been real victories for free speech and for the political right more broadly. While Musk’s most loyal fans tend to ignore or downplay his failures, his critics often understate his successes." From Zero Hedge, "Guess We're Not Dead Yet": New Traffic Data Shows Musk's X Surpasses Instagram And Facebook.

From NYPo, Pro-Palestinian protesters glue their hands to 6th Avenue, disrupting Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Spencer Brown at TownHall,  Here's What Happened When Pro-Hamas Agitators Tried to Shut Down the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. "Booing from the crowd made it pretty clear that the goal expressed by some agitators to "shut down" the entire parade failed, thankfully."   Ace, Macy’s Day Parade in NY Interrupted by Climate / Anti-Israel / Pro-Terror Activists, "No surprise here, although I do love how it’s the same people protesting both climate and Gaza interchangeably. If this were 5 years ago, gluten would be one of their grievances too." Twitchy notes Grimace was Unmoved by Pro-Hamas Protesters Coming Unglued at Parade.

From the College Fix, USC professor banished from campus after anti-Hamas comments go viral. Greg Lukianoff at Insty says THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN AT EVERY UNIVERSITY, EVERY TIME: “Every time there is a shout-down, a de-platforming, or a canceling on campus, the school needs to do an investigation asking two questions: Did administrators do anything to stop it? Did administrators do anything to encourage it? Failing at the first should get an administrator in trouble. Failing at the second should get them fired.” Bob Spencer at PJM, Leftists and Antisemites Are Discovering That Islam Is Just the Thing for Them. At Hat Hair, Salena Zito notices that for some reason Community Colleges and Trade Schools Are Largely Void of Israel-Hamas Protests. Hat Hair's John Sexton claims Anti-Racists Dropped by CAA Over Anti-Semitic Comments. You should really explain acronyms early in the article, (Creative Artists Agency).

Mary Chastain at LI, ‘They Control Everything’: North Carolina Democrat Unleashes Antisemitic Rant Against Jewish Caucus, If the Democratic Party caves to it, that’s the end of the Democratic Party. We’re not Democrats, we’re the Jewish Caucus. We’re a Zionist group. Because they control everything.” The Israel Hamas war as has really put the Democrat party in a pickle over which of their interest groups to pander to. 

Campus Reform reports a Prof at a public college assigned students ‘The Baby Jesus Butt Plug’ as mandatory reading. "Smith said he had also allowed students to vote on which books would be assigned reading for the Comic Spirit class which is part of the upper-division comparative literature curriculum at the California public school." Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair notes how Another Trans Swimmer Breaks Women's Record. "Similarly echoing Lia Thomas, Cortez-Fields spent three years swimming for the men’s team, apparently not setting any records or distinguishing himself. Then, after making the “switch,” he’s suddenly setting records and winning competitions. And since the “transition” happened so recently, he obviously went through full male puberty years ago and developed all of the natural advantages that males have over females."  The College Fix claims Ohio State University prioritized DEI over merit in hiring, documents show
