FAFO applies double when it comes to taunting fate like left-wing journalist Josh Kruger:

On September 30, 2023, Kruger shared a tweet by Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip, that read, “If Biden is elected, there’s a good chance you will be dead within the year.” He had engaged in debate with conservatives on X over conservative incarceration policies regarding crime, policies he opposed, especially relating to drug offenders.

“The Dilbert dude is like Nostradamus. Look at this prediction from 2020. Wow. Eerie,” Kruger wrote.

Adams was a couple of years off. Kruger was shot seven times at his Philadelphia home yesterday. The Philadelphia Inquirer has details:

Detectives believe Kruger’s death may have been the result of a domestic dispute or may have been drug-related, according to three law enforcement sources with knowledge of the case. The sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, said police investigators recovered troubling text messages between Kruger and a former partner. Investigators also recovered methamphetamine inside Kruger’s bedroom, the sources said.

Kruger was…

…proudly queer and openly HIV-positive. He had overcome a number of struggles in his life, including bouts of homelessness and addiction, and leveraged those experiences to fiercely advocate for and write on behalf of those communities.

Kruger’s experiences included “sex work.”

Kruger was a former city spokesperson who advocated for more support for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents, including people experiencing homelessness, people in addiction, and the LGBTQ community.

If it wasn’t a former gay paramour who killed him, it could have been a guy (apparently) calling himself Lady Diabla:

Two weeks ago, Kruger took to Facebook to complain about a mysterious threat from someone who called themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets.”

Kruger described himself as a “destroyer of stigma” and a “believer in the common good.” Readers can decide for themselves whether destroying the stigma that used to protect civilization from degeneracy advances the common good.

The Dilbert dude is like Nostradamus. Look at this prediction from 2020. Wow. Eerie. https://t.co/0kffBpbQu7

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

A benefit of having moonbats in charge of healthcare as under Britain’s socialized National Health Service has finally been discovered; men can get up to a year off work for having menopause:

An NHS trust has told chiefs to take ‘male menopause’ into consideration as it considers giving men up to a year off for their symptoms.

This time the lunacy has nothing to do with transsexual ideology.

The East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) has been told to make allowances for staff experiencing symptoms associated with a drop in testosterone levels – which takes place over time as a man gets older.

Guys suffering from “andropause” can collect sick pay for up to 12 months.

Eventually progressivism will progress to the point were everyone collects sick pay from birth. Then no one will ever have to work, and utopia will be achieved at last.

Not even our Democrat rulers are immune from the violent chaos they have been imposing on us:

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) was reportedly carjacked at gunpoint in Washington, D.C., on Monday night.

It happened right outside his apartment building at around 9:30.

The congressman, whose district is on the U.S. southern border, is reportedly safe.

Unlike his constituents, who are the farthest from safe thanks to literally millions of lawbreakers being allowed to pour across the border by Cuellar’s party.

An alert that was sent out in the area said that the suspects were three black males.

Three black male hoodlums in the DC. That narrows it down to under half the population.

Even if Cuellar is a Democrat, let’s not laugh too hard at his misfortune:

Cuellar captured national attention after the May 6, 2023, Allen, Texas, mall shooting by rejecting calls for more gun control. While Texas is often criticized by the left for having less gun control than other states, Breitbart News observed Cuellar pointing out that shootings occur in states with high levels of gun control too.

Washington, DC, where Cuellar was carjacked by armed assailants, has some of the most stringent gun control in the country.

It isn’t every day that a Democrat is proven right. It only happens when they buck their own party.

If ever a story was emblematic of liberal rule:

A Korean War veteran feared he would be left ‘on the curb’ after he was ordered out of his Staten Island nursing home to make way for the migrants overwhelming New York City.

Frank Tammaro, 95, was given six weeks to get out of the Island Shores Senior Residence when it was sold to city authorities [in August].

Joe Biden, sanctuary city mayor Eric Adams, and the rest are displacing us from our whole country. Why shouldn’t this include nursing homes? Why should people who fought for the country they hate enough to erase be spared?

Reports Tammaro,

‘Everything was done behind closed doors – we didn’t have a chance to actually make any attempt to stop them because there wasn’t enough time.’

The entire country is running out of time. If we are going to stop them, it will have to be soon.

Toxic masculinity is everywhere, according to the moonbats at Business Insider — even at a conference for non-men:

A tech conference celebrating women and non-binary people in computer science sparked a backlash after people said it was dominated by men.

The complaints were about the The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing which took place in Orlando from September 26 to 29.

The purpose of the event was to discriminate against men in tech hiring.

The event markets itself on its website as the “world’s largest gathering of women and non-binary technologists,” and tickets set back attendees around $1,300. …

[Product designer Lily Li] said she suspected that cisgender men may have “finessed” the system by pretending to be non-binary, or selecting “prefer not to answer” on their entry forms…

If you can’t pretend to be black, pretend to be female. If that won’t work either, call yourself “nonbinary.” It’s either that or get marginalized.

Insider found many more public comments on LinkedIn left by female and non-binary attendees where they expressed their disappointment over the experience, describing a place “over-capacitated by rude, disrespectful, and female-attacking men.”

They mean “attacking” in the Liberalese sense:

Some said they had been bothered and harassed and even hit on.

Clearly the eradication of toxic masculinity requires more than woke propaganda. Engineering the next mandatory vaccine to turn men into Dylan Mulvaneys might do the trick.

On a tip from Steve T.

Due to ethnocentrism and Christofascism, we once frowned on the quaint practice of cannibalism, which was celebrated by sacred indigenous peoples throughout the world until colonialism spoiled the fun. But we are more enlightened now. From deep blue Connecticut:

Tyree Smith … was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity following a trial in July 2013 and ordered committed to a state psychiatric hospital for 60 years.

As we have known at least since John Hinckley exploited it to escape justice after shooting Ronald Reagan, the insanity defense is even more insane than the maniacs it benefits.

[T]his week, the state Psychiatric Security Review Board, ruled that Smith, after spending 10 years in the state’s most secure psychiatric hospital, is ready to be transitioned into the community. He has since been released…

The board says Smith “has continued to demonstrate clinical stability.” So we’ll let bygones be bygones regarding homicide and cannibalism.

The defense’s case rested mainly on the testimony of Yale University psychiatrist Dr. Reena Kapoor, who said at the time Smith retained his lust for human flesh after his arrest, even offering to eat her.

That’s how you get away with killing a guy with an ax and eating his brain and eyeballs. Tell a psychiatrist you want to do the same to her.

Kapoor claimed Smith suffered from psychotic incidents since childhood and heard voices that told him to kill people. She said the voices ordered Smith to eat the victim’s brain so they would get a better understanding of human behavior and the eyes so that they could see into the “spirit realm.”

Just the kind of guy the liberal establishment would turn out onto the streets. Ideally, he’ll get hold of a gun and head for the nearest grade school; then the media can exploit the incident to attack the Second Amendment.

Tyree Smith is on the right side of history, assuming liberals prevail.

You may not have to be a California resident to qualify as California Senator, but as Gavin Newsom announced in advance, you do have to be a black woman. This rules out 94% of the population. From there, he narrowed the field further to a black woman who is publicly homosexual and of course radically left-wing. Out of this pool, he chose the one most conspicuously devoted to evil, pro-abortion militant Laphonza Butler.

Butler is president of ultraleft EMILY’s List, a PAC that exists to promote the killing of unborn children. It is now helping her pretend she doesn’t live on the opposite side of the country:

“FEC filings from EMILY’s List record Laphonza Butler’s residence as Silver Springs, Maryland as recently as 31 days ago,” said FEC analyst Rob Pyers. “FPPC and FEC filings indicate that soon-to-be California Senator Laphonza Butler hasn’t been a resident of the state for over two years.”

Pyers noted that EMILY’s List was already cleaning up their website to hide where Butler allegedly lives. The organization removed the following line from their website: “She lives in Maryland with her partner Neneki Lee and their daughter Nylah.”

Surely Pyers would not be such a racist sexist homophobe as to suggest that residency requirements pertain to a Left-Wing Lesbian of Color.

If you like her fellow explicit identity politics selections Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson, you will love Laphonza Butler. She personifies both race/sex favoritism and the war on morality, making her the ideal Democrat.

Also, she was a union leader for the infamously pernicious SEIU.

As for political experience, Newsom describes Laphonza as “a trusted adviser to Vice President Harris.” Experience conducting trainwrecks will be helpful if Democrats continue to consolidate power.

Look out, Michelle Obama; you could have competition after Democrats dump Biden next year.

No matter how energy is produced, if it is sufficiently affordable and reliable to meet our needs, liberals will oppose it. Not even hydroelectric is green enough, according to a lengthy screed in the Los Angeles Times.

Hydroelectric requires none of the fossil fuels that liberals demand we reject for ideological reasons. However, dams…

…have devastated salmon and steelhead trout populations, blocking many of their historical spawning grounds and depriving Indigenous tribes of fish central to their nourishment and cultures. …

Across the American West, dams have reshaped ecosystems for the worse, raising water temperatures, diminishing downstream flows and driving fish species toward extinction. From Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River to Hoover Dam on the Colorado, reservoirs have fueled toxic algae blooms, increased evaporation and flooded land that was home to Native Americans for millennia.

As far as some tribal and environmental activists are concerned, many of those dams never should have been built.

Maybe they should even be dismantled.

Yes sir, Mr. Moonbat. We will tear down the dams at once. The sacred Indians didn’t need electricity, so neither should we. We can just run around in loincloths throwing sticks at bison. That would be sure to support a population of 340 million. At worse, we’ll all die off, which according to liberal establishment dogma would be pleasing to the climate.

On a tip from Lyle.

If you want more of something, you subsidize it — or in the case of murdering police officers, punish it as mildly as the public will tolerate. As Chicago succumbs to the Democrat Death Spiral, the public will tolerate even this:

A Chicago man who was charged over the murder of police officer Ella French has been offered a plea deal that will see him jailed for just seven years.

That is, 7 years maximum. The system is run by sympathetic progressives. Eric Morgan will be out much sooner, possibly as soon as people stop paying attention.

French, 29, was shot dead in the West Englewood neighborhood on August 7, 2021 during a routine traffic and cop Carlos Yanez was severely wounded but survived his injuries.

Morgan is racially correct. In contrast, French was white. Thus the extra soft kid gloves.

Morgan was accused of handling the murder weapon allegedly used by his brother Emonte and was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and obstruction of justice.

Eric Morgan was on probation at the time he participated in the murder. Not that it matters in Chicago.

The moonbats in charge have spat on Ella French’s grave before. Readers may recall that they suspended her after she had been murdered over technicalities in a separate incident with racial implications. Everything a white police officer does in a place like Chicago has racial implications.

The liberal establishment tolerates cop killing because it is consistent with woke orthodoxy. Why Americans tolerate liberal rule is harder to explain.

Updates to the Newspeak Dictionary are inflicted not only through educrats in the moonbat fever swamps comprising academia, but on a more direct basis via mainstream institutions like Dictionary.com. LGBT activists celebrate the further corruption on the English language in subservience to their cause:

Dictionary.com has added eight LGBTQ+ terms to its latest official update.

These include:

diverse-owned: (adjective) (of a business) owned by someone who is part of a group historically underrepresented in entrepreneurship, such as women, ethnic or racial minorities, LGBTQ+ people, etc.

gay marry: (verb) to marry a person of the same gender.

polysexual: (adjective) noting or relating to a person who is sexually attracted to people of various genders, but not necessarily to people of all genders.

autoromantic: (adjective). noting or relating to a person who primarily feels romantic attraction to and desire for themselves, as opposed to other people.

At least psychiatrists dealing with the severely mentally ill might have a use for some of these terms.

The war on pronouns continues:

To make Dictionary.com more inclusive, the website’s lexicographers rewrote entries to replace gendered pronouns with gender-neutral pronouns or to avoid using a pronoun at all.

Moonbattery is the offspring of postmodernism, a fundamental tenet of which is that “reality” is constructed through language, and thereby can be controlled by controlling language. Stand by for further linguistic perversion as social engineers reconstruct reality to reflect their ideology.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.

It is hard to say what is more alarming: French contempt for fundamental liberties like freedom of movement or the national collapse in IQ suggested by this:

A new poll shows that a shocking number of French citizens support banning people from flying more than four times in their lives due to climate change.

A poll from research firm Consumer Science and Analytics Institute (CSA) found that 41% of citizens would support such a limit. That number rose to 59% support among 18-24-year-olds.

Anyone who believes that the weather has recently become a problem and we can fix it by forbidding people from traveling is encouraged to get in touch regarding a bridge I am selling that crosses the East River.

It is unclear whether anyone in France is dumb enough to believe that the travel restrictions would apply to the ruling class as it jets around the globe to climate conferences.

Let’s not single out France. The epidemic of stupidity that is both cause and effect of moonbattery is worldwide:

Climate activists across the globe have pushed for wide-ranging restrictions aimed at reducing carbon emissions, from limiting car travel to banning plastic straws.

Banning plastic straws. Because the weather. Reasoning with people who swallow leftist climate ideology is not an option.
