New Exhibit at College Football Hall of Farse

That which moonbattery corrupts, it reduces to farce. This has been conspicuously true of modern art, the news media, and the Democratic Party. Now that the world of sports has been absorbed by leftist politics, the same principle applies.

Recall that Sarah Fuller moved her teammates on Vanderbilt’s men’s football team to sentimental tears with a lame squib kick during a 41–0 loss. Even that was not absurd enough to fully reflect the ridiculousness of moonbattery. So the liberals who run sports pushed the preposterousness still further:

The College Football Hall Of Fame has added Sarah Fuller’s uniform to its collection…

Here’s why:

[T]his month she became the first female player to score in a Power 5 game when she kicked for an extra point last week before her two-game football career came to an end.

This is not the first award to be bestowed upon Sarah Fuller for her roll in reducing football to a comical exercise in political correctness:

Fuller was not only made the SEC special teams player of the week during the first week of December, but she was also nominated for a Courage Award.

In an offensive oversight that underscores how far we still have to go to correct historic injustice, Biden’s handlers have so far failed to offer her a cabinet position.

When they establish the Museum of American Decline, this will be found among the exhibits:

Apparent Letitia James Statue in Times Square

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been in an especially foul mood lately. This might help cheer her up. Looks like they have put up a statue of her in Times Square:

Times Square’s new 12-foot sculpture, Grounded in the Stars, faced online ridicule, with comparisons to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

So it isn’t really Letitia James? That would explain the relatively cheery expression and slim figure.

Grounded in the Stars is not one of a kind. Modernity notes that similar eyesores have appeared in San Francisco, London, Rotterdam, and even Florence:

It’s part of the pursuit of uniformity, the dismantling of vibrant, diverse aesthetics, to be replaced with a sterile monoculture of sick modernity that prioritises ideology over beauty.

Statues represent ideals to inspire our aspirations. Healthy societies erect statues of their heroes. Many of these were torn down during the Black Lives Matter riots. They will be replaced by statues of random overweight black women.

TDS Drives Canada Off the Rails

Canada makes a convenient foil, given its proclivity to moonbattery, especially under recent leadership. Unfortunately, Trump’s trolling of our northern neighbor has cost us an ally:

Trump personally played an enormous role in returning an incompetent and ideologically bankrupt Liberal Party to power, after a campaign where Prime Minister Mark Carney made himself the anti-Trump…

Canada is even more moonbatty than elections reflect, because the Left is divided among multiple parties. Not this time though. Overreaction to Trump’s 51st state ribbing rallied it behind the odious Carney.

Justin Trudeau left such a foul taste in the mouth that even in Canada the countermoonbat candidate Pierre Poilievre was way out in front until recently.

Despite Conservatives’ gaining far more seats than Liberals and recording their best popular vote share in a generation, he lost his seat by just 3,000 votes in a race with over 90 candidates on the ballot. His platform of law and order, free markets, tighter control of immigration, and pushing back on the left’s social excesses was the exact medicine that Canada needed.

But Canadians decided they would rather stick it to Trump than save their own country from encroaching ruin.

With shame, it must be admitted that my fellow Boomers are largely to blame:

Boomers may figure they won’t live to see the Third World future liberals are imposing on Canada. But given the galloping rate of decay, many will have to sleep in the bed they have made by throwing this tantrum.

Still More Moonbattery in Washington State

As Seattle pulls it down the Democrat Death Spiral, Washington State sinks ever deeper into a maelstrom of moonbattery, inflicting race-based “justice,” distributing other people’s money on the basis of race, officially honoring Islamic holidays, and now imposing rent control and unemployment benefits for striking nonworkers.

From the approving moonbats at Associated Press:

In the final days of the Washington legislative session, lawmakers hashed out agreements to approve a bill that sets limits on rent increases and a measure that gives striking workers unemployment benefits.

They call it the Left Coast for a reason:

If signed into law, the rent stabilization bill would be among the first in the nation, adding Washington to states like Oregon and California that have sought new ways to curb homelessness. Washington joined Oregon in efforts to give striking workers unemployment payments…

Anyone doubt that this liberal weenie will sign the pernicious bills into law?

There is not much reason to work when the government forces other people to pay you to go on strike instead.

To gauge the effectiveness of curbing homelessness with rent control, look to New York City. The predictable effect is to prevent people from building new housing or becoming landlords.

Democrats want more homelessness, because they think it gives them political leverage. Otherwise they would not deliberately increase it under the Orwellian guise of decreasing it. As communist dictator and Founding Father of modern liberalism Vladimir Lenin is said to have said, “The worse, the better.”

Generous Financing for War With Whiteness

You may hate the militant moonbats the liberal establishment showers fortunes upon — but not as much as they hate you:

Procter & Gamble and other prominent corporations fund a “racial justice” group whose leader, a former Obama White House official, lashed out this week at what he called “white mediocrity” and urged a “woke” army of black youth “to wage war with whiteness.”

David Johns, who led President Barack Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, made the remarks at an event Tuesday to promote a boycott against Target for rolling back its DEI programs.

Target was long at the vanguard of ramming moonbattery down customers’ throats. When this started to cost them $billions, Target suits backed off, leading to threats from leftists that the media spun dishonestly. The company should have stuck to retail rather than wade into the Culture War.

The purpose of the Target boycott is…

…to force the company to invest $2 billion in black-owned businesses and deposit $250 million in black-owned banks.

That is, it is extortion, in the grand tradition of the modern “civil rights” movement.

Procter & Gamble contributed $515,000 to Johns’s National Black Justice Coalition in 2023, more than doubling the $205,000 from George Soros’s Tides Foundation and Tides Advocacy. But the vehemently racist outfit has an even more generous benefactor — you the taxpayer:

The Department of Health and Human Services under President Biden awarded the National Black Justice Coalition a $1.2 million contract through 2026 as part of the government’s “Let’s Stop HIV Together” campaign. It is unclear if HHS is still funding the coalition, but Johns said last month his organization was “proud to be a grantee” of the HIV program.

Meanwhile, Johns denounces Trump as a “fascist trying to rob us of our wealth” — by which he means not NBJC’s wealth but ours.

More irony:

“We don’t need nothing from white people. We don’t need nothing from white people,” said Johns.

Not even lessons on how to speak English.

Johns personifies what the public was stampeded by the media into supporting in 2008 and 2012. But voters did not endorse this ideology in 2024. Let’s hope Johns is right about Trump denying him our wealth. Who knows? Maybe even woke Procter & Gamble will think of better uses for its money.

Democrat Base Falls Back on Violence

The Democratic Party is in trouble. Support for congressional Democrats has collapsed even among Democrats. The libs at Axios provide a list of reasons that the party’s trajectory will continue downward. As countermoonbattery becomes increasingly cool among Gen Z, the Democrat base will constrict to an insular core of true believers. Already they are lashing out.

Malevolent Marxists Alexandria Occasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have emerged as the face of the party. Presenting their constituency:

Hordes of lunatics at an AOC/Bernie Sanders rally were recorded threatening violence and calling for President Trump to be tortured and murdered.

One attendee wielding a sign depicting Trump’s severed head was asked “are you calling for for his death?” and responded “I am yes, I believe it’s time the people straight cut his f[***]ing head off.”

Another blathered about hanging Trump by his ankles from a lamppost until dead, stating “the only good fascist is a dead fascist.”

A “fascist” is someone who resists leftists.

Video:

Also rising to prominence in the party is congresscritter Jasmine Crockett (D-TX):

Crockett gave an interview with reporters from NBC 5 Phil Prazan and the Dallas Morning News when she was asked how Democrats can fight back against Trump. …

“I think that you punch; I think you okay with punching,” Crockett said.

Specifically,

“But, like, it’s Ted Cruz!” she continued. “I mean, this dude needs to be knocked over the head, hard!”

Two assassination attempts on Trump and calls for more provide a backdrop for her violent mode of expression.

More context is provided by Crockett’s stated wish that Elon Musk be “taken down”:

Meanwhile, the terror campaign against Tesla dealerships intended to intimidate Musk continues:

Incendiary devices were discovered at a Tesla dealership in Austin, Texas, on Monday morning, authorities said, the latest in widespread acts of violence targeting the electric carmaker. …

So far, three individuals have been charged in federal cases after using Molotov cocktails to attack Tesla properties around the country.

To learn what happens when people like AOC, Sanders, and Crockett consolidate power, read up on China under Mao or Russia under Lenin and Stalin. The innocent are murdered by the tens of millions so as to impose the end goal of leftism: slavery to the state. In the end, violent coercion is the only way to achieve this goal, so it is no surprise that progressives reflexively fall back on it.

Washington State’s Lawfare Equivalent of Fort Sumter

According to Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution, federal law supersedes state law; otherwise, we would have chaos — like this:

The state of Washington filed a lawsuit against the Adams County Sheriff’s Office and Adams County on Monday for violating the Keep Washington Working Act, which established the state as a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants [a.k.a. illegal aliens].

Democrats know the laws they inflict are detrimental, or they would not give them such incongruous names. Naming a law that unconstitutionally displaces American workers with foreign invaders the “Keep Washington Working Act” is comparable to calling a Green New Deal spending blowout the “Inflation Reduction Act” and a desecration of holy matrimony the “Respect for Marriage Act.”

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is being sued for upholding federal law:

The lawsuit alleges that deputies have “unlawfully held people in custody based solely on their immigration status” and “have gone out of their way to enable federal immigration agents to interview or question people in custody, including transporting people in county vehicles expressly for that purpose.”

The lawsuit sides with foreign invaders against the US government. Washington State is in a state of insurrection.

When Fort Sumter was fired on, Abraham Lincoln responded forcefully. Impudent leftists defying federal immigration law in the face of foreign invasion is the modern equivalent.

Marines’ Memorial Club Promotes Gay Surrogacy

Moonbattologists with strong stomachs are directed to a site entitled Men Having Babies, which has an important announcement:

Men Having Babies (MHB) returns to for [sic] its annual Surrogacy Conference & Gay Parenting Expo in San Francisco. If you are looking for assistance with surrogacy, we invite you to come interact and consult with gay dads, experts, and over 40 reputable gay-friendly agencies, clinics, law firms, and other surrogacy providers.

Raising children in homosexual parodies of families is an abomination that frequently leads to child rape and cannot help but result in an abnormal upbringing.

The event will be held at the Marine’s Memorial Club & Hotel, which describes itself here:

Since 1946, Marines’ Memorial Club has honored the legacy of military service through a living memorial, hotel and theatre that both serve and commemorate the Veterans of all eras. …

Owned and operated by the Marines’ Memorial Association, a 501(c) (19) Veterans Non-Profit Organization, Marines’ Memorial Club is the first ever “Living Memorial” in the United States, offering historic exhibits featuring American military history from all eras, and a library and museum with artifacts and books donated by grateful members, Veterans and their families.

Those entrusted to sustain the club see fit to honor veterans by effectively promoting homosexual surrogacy and childrearing. Not exactly what US Marines lay their lives on the line for.

The more quintessentially masculine an institution, the more likely it will be infiltrated and undermined by moonbats throughout LGBTification.

The motto of the Marines’ Memorial Club is “Where Tradition Meets Modernity.” That rolls off the tongue better than the seemingly more accurate “Where Tradition Is Desecrated and Destroyed by the Most Revolting Aspects of Modernity.”

Dems Overindulge in Projection During Trump Speech

“Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty” is a strategy that has been around for generations. Democrats push it to the point of self-parody, and never more so than during their back-firing attempts to undermine Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress last night.

Elon Musk has hindered their systematic theft of many $billions of our money by shining a light on it with DOGE. With the other hand still in the cookie jar, Democrats react by holding up ping-pong paddles proclaiming that it is Musk who steals:

The party that promotes sex change procedures for children and that just defied 79% of the public by blocking a bill that would prevent males from competing in sports as females announces that Trump is not normal:

Meanwhile, Democrat congressman Tim “Sarah” McBride attended the event disguised as a woman.

The natural — or should I say unnatural — tendency of Democrats is to invert reality into its diametric opposite. That’s how they came up with their beloved term, “gender-affirming care.”

Here’s “normal” as redefined by Democrats:

Study Links Sex Change Surgery to Suicidal Ideation

Unconscionably, healthcare professionals who for ideological or financial motives inflict sex change procedures on children employ emotional blackmail against parents by persuading them that failing to undergo irreversible freakification could cause their kids to commit suicide. Evidence accrues that the reverse is true:

A comprehensive study recently published in the Oxford Academic Journal of Sexual Medicine has raised significant concerns about the mental health outcomes of individuals undergoing sex-change surgeries. …

According to the researchers, “Our analysis reveals a significantly elevated risk of mental health disorders—including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorder—post-surgery among individuals with a prior diagnosis of gender dysphoria.”

Looks like letting kids grow out of this sick fad like most of them do if allowed to will leave them with less to commit suicide about. Who would have thought?

As for adults, there are more constructive ways to deal with mental illness than grotesque attempts to force reality to conform to delusions through surgery.

Arrogance + Stupidity = Trouble for This Moonbat

Presenting an explicit call for assassination coupled with a confession of tax evasion. Law enforcement will not find lower hanging fruit than this moonbat (liberal language alert):

Arrogance has become so ingrained among liberals that some cannot grasp the concept of consequences for their own behavior as they struggle ineffectually to come to grips with not getting their way.

Looks like her name is Sarah C. Roberts, pronouns she/her/hers.

Sarah forgets that the government is no longer as useless as it was prior to January 20. She may already have heard a knock on the door.

“Mother” Replaced by “Inseminated Person”

Nothing could be more wholesome, constructive, and good than motherhood. This has been reflected throughout the centuries in reverent depictions of the Virgin Mary. Naturally leftists seek to destroy motherhood, hammering away with feminism and their antisacrament, abortion.

That which they hate, progressives erase. It was only a matter of time until someone like Governor Tony Evers (D-WI) stepped forward to delete the word “mother” from the Newspeak Dictionary.

Modernity reports:

Wisconsin has floated legislation that would replace the word ‘mother’ with the term ‘inseminated person’ in state documents. …

Evers introduced the amendment as part of budget recommendations for the 2025-2027 fiscal period in a bill submitted to the Wisconsin Senate’s Joint Committee on Finance.

Don’t forget to send your mom a card on Inseminated Person Day.

The amendment…

…also suggests replacing the term ‘biological father’ with ‘natural parent;’ ‘husband’ with ‘spouse;’ and ‘male’ with ‘person.’

The words ‘wife,’ ‘woman,’ and ‘female’ have also been erased.

However, women still have the freedom to bleat, “My body my choice,” so long as they aren’t referring to vaccines.

Social engineering through language reveals modern leftism’s roots in postmodernism. The academics who concoct moonbattery in their lavishly taxpayer-funded laboratories hold that objective reality is irrelevant if it exists at all; all that matters is the subjective reality that they can force to meet their specifications through control of language.

CBS News: Free Speech Caused Holocaust

Local tyrants were not the only ones triggered by JD Vance’s epic defense of political freedom in Europe. The US media’s characteristic if incongruous reaction has been to shriek about Nazis. Democratic Party apparatchik Margaret Brennan of CBS News even claims that free speech caused the Holocaust:

[Brennan] had asked what Vance’s speech and meeting with a leader of Alternative for Germany (AfD), a right-wing German populist political party, “accomplish other than irritating our allies.” [Marco] Rubio responded by emphasizing Vance was right to point out European countries’ perceived backsliding on free speech.

“Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups,” Brennan replied.

“Far-right” and “extreme” in this context are Liberalese for “not left-wing.”

Watch and applaud as Rubio slaps her down:

“We are out of time” honks Margaret at the end of the clip. That goes for the entire liberal establishment media that openly sides with political repression against an America vice president advocating freedom. Trump’s characterization of it as “the enemy of the people” is becoming common wisdom.

Here’s some free speech that apparently set her off, coming after Vance had gotten under her skin with his “I don’t really care, Margaret” mic drop moment:
