Here’s a good idea for a website:

Not The Bee

It’s something of a news aggregator… but stories that you  might at first think are actually satire from the Babylon Bee. For example:

BEHOLD: Critical Race Theory in one image

Which links to:

Which is taken from this incident:

Gotta respect the grift. I don’t know how much you can get paid to lecture white people on how they are racist, but clearly you won’t starve to death.

And this:

No matter how many times I watch this video I still can’t believe it’s not satire

Which includes this:

 

And this:

Two flat earthers-seek edge of world, end up on wrong island

And this:

Behold, the new Democratic Party

Ed Markey, far-left Democrat and Green New Deal loon, just beat JFK’s great-nephew in the Massachusetts Senate primary.

To celebrate, the progressive Sunrise PAC took JFK’s iconic words that we all learned in grade school and flipped them, in a perfect illustration of the state of today’s Democrat Party:

Some Antifa terrorists in Portland tried to burn some police to death. But their aim was as bad as their ideology and they set one of their fellow travelers on fire instead.

Now we wait: will the rest of the Mostly Peaceful Protestors turn in the Molotov cocktail chucking ᛗᚩᛏᚻᛖᚱᚠᚢᚳkᛖᚱ who tried to kill cops? Surely several of them must know the identity of the attempted murder(s). Failure to turn them in implies that they are protecting them, which makes them accessories and allies. Perhaps the thing to do is to arrest *everyone* and sort through them. Take a few months to sort the bad from the truly awful.

Can anybody with experience firing shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles confirm that when you pull the trigger, the missile is suppose to leave the tube… not drag the launcher along with it? Cuz goll-lee, this sure don’t seem right:

Because the rioters will come to *you.* There’s no escaping them.

 

And in this video you can see that the rioters are not only marching in *front* of private homes, they’re climbing *on* to private homes:

And it turns out – entirely unsurprisingly –  that the Portland shooting of a right winger by a left winger was a result of the left winger stalking and ambushing the right winger with the apparent *purpose* of murdering him:

Commies: continuing to demonstrate that a hundred years on, they’re still the very worst people on the planet.

Another Starship hop

After a long string of flubs, SpaceX seems to be getting on the ball with Starship. SN#6 flew to 150 meters yesterday, transitioned sideways and landed itself, all seemingly without a hitch.

May SpaceX get Starship up and running soon. Sane people may need to flee this planet sooner than even I would have thought just a few short years ago.

Suspect in Fatal Portland Shooting Is Killed by Officers During Arrest

Kyle the Kenosha Kid walked right up to the police and tried to turn himself in after defending himself from a pack of convicted criminals. Michael Reinoehl, who apparently straight-up executed a Blue Lives Matter supporter for no other reason than he wore Patriot Prayer stuff, ran from the police and his responsibility and in the end apparently opened fire on the police. This from a man who *claimed* that he shot someone in self defense.

“I am 100% ANTIFA all the way!” he posted on Instagram in June…

So this one Antifa scumbag is responsible for at least *two* deaths. Let no one ever say again that “Antifa never killed anybody.”

 

Notice the “rest in power.” As someone further down the Twitter thread noted, normal people say “rest in peace,” because that’s what they want… peace. Fascists want power.

This person is apparently more than just some random whackjob; she’s been published by many a “mainstream” source, such as “Time” and “The Atlantic.” So… huzzah.

She wants violence that jeopardize children’s lives.

Huh.

Seems to me there are two ways of looking at this:

1: She’s a racist nutbag who thinks that a race war is a good idea. Both from a moral or ethical standpoint, and from the standpoint of a small minority launching a war of genocide against a better-armed majority that she already believes is out to kill her and her people.

2: She’s a cynical grifter, saying crazy evil stuff for the clicks.

In an important sense it doesn’t matter which she is. Because she alone could hardly make much of a dent if she decided to launch a one-woman race war… but even if she doesn’t believe her own BS, she could certainly convince a lot of weak-minded fools to do what she’s suggesting.

 

In case the unlikely happens and Twitter actually enacts their “advocacy of violence is bad” rules against her, here’s a screenshot:

Biden stuffs Edison down the memory hole

Behold:

Biden, of course, is wrong. Now, it is true to say that Edison did not invent the light bulb alone; numerous other inventors made important steps along the way. But Edison took prior designs, his own ideas, ideas from his team, and business sense to make practical and long-lived light bulbs, turning them from rarities to commodities that flooded the world. The black man Biden is talking about, Lewis Howard Latimer, was one of those important contributors… but a *late* one. Latimer contributed an improved carbon filament, one that burned much longer, in about 1880, getting a patent for it in 1882. But Edison demonstrated *his* bulb in 1879. Edison being Edison, he bought the rights to Latimers patent and hired him in 1884.

It’s probably fair to say that Edison invented the light bulb about as much as Steve Jobs invented the iPhone. Which is to say… *kinda,* in that he led a team of people who did the actual work. But being the CMFIC of a project, especially if you’re the MF paying for it and ramming it through, means you get the credit. Werner von Braun didn’t carve the A-4 rocket out of a block of aluminum with a spork; rather a lot of technicians at Peenemunde (and elsewhere, especially later when production ramped up inside a mountain using Socialized Labor) did that for him. And yet WvB rightly gets the credit for the V-2. In contrast, the individual techs who worked on the iPhone, A-4 and light bulb *don’t* get the credit because they weren’t the driving force.

That Latimer didn’t invent the light bulb is doubtless known to Biden, or at least to whoever told him to say that. But re-writing history is important to him for some reason. Presumably for the same reason that George Washington Carver is often credited for inventing peanut butter in 1916, when it had in fact been patented by a Canadian in 1884, and apparently the Aztecs were making it by the time Cortez and some industrious migrants showed up and culturally enriched them.
