I Almost Feel Like I’m Piling On…
…and maybe you can call me a cynic, but when I heard NPR and the BBC hyperventilating about the first female umpire in MLB history, I have to admit I wondered if a story like this… …was pretty much iunevitable.

Hey – check this out: Suddenly the media does know what a woman is!

The Problem Is Families
Dunking on the MNDFL’s social media intern isn’t “punching down”. It’s “squishing something with my foot”. But this one tells us a lot about the DFL. The intern is looking at something in the GOP platform: Forget for a moment that they deflected from the GOP’s correct assertion that the DFL calls post-partum care “anti-abortion”…

This Should Fix Harris’s Problems With Male Voters
“White Dudes for Harris” – the collection of online man-buns, barristos and Soho cliches from earlier in the summer – didn’t do it. Picking Tim Walz – a thinly-closeted authoritarian with penchant for dressing up in Elmer Fudd costumes and eating Pronto Pups on camera – didn’t do it. But this? This ad should solve…

Never Ever
Few things have made me cringe quite as hard as “White Dudes for Harris” – the bunch of man-buns, ex-celebs, non-profit staffers and other walking caricatures that showed up on a struggle session on Zoom over the summer… …to a fairly universal “ick”. Why ,yes – I thought the whole thing was cloying and patronizing.…

Dated
From the “go figure” department: I’m tempted so retort “WHAT? The party of Harry Sisson, Will Stancil, the Krassenstein Brothers, John Fugelsang, David Hogg? The party where Leah Finke is more jacked than any male DFL legislator or staffer?” But I’ll hold back the “soy boi” references – because to say there are no masculine…

Seed Corn
I’ve got leftist acquaintances who chuckle derisively every year about the “War On Christmas”. I meet them halfway. The war isn’t just on Christmas, of course; it’s on everything that builds a stable, functional society Especially families. The “hild-free”/movement is one of modernity’s more galling little affectations. Not so much the people who just decide…

Underpromise, Overdeliver…
“A Bar Of Their Own” – a bar devoted to women’s sports – opens tomorrow in Minneapolis. I wish them, and just about any new business trying to make a go of it, all the best. There are some who’ve mocked the concept. I don’t – anyone who tries to contribute more growth and wealth…

I Try To Aim Higher
When it comes to the turmoil of peoples lives, I try to listen more than talk. Everyone’s life has innumerable nuances, countless surprises sitting like little booby-traps waiting to blow up anyone’s smug, solipsistic assumptions about the lives of others. I’ve made great sport out of impaling the drooling cretins of the lefty alt-media on…

Pronouns: Ass/Kicked
I have a few transgender people in y social circle. All of them did their transitions, for whatever reason, as adults. I treat them with respect. They (mostly) reciprocate – I’ve had no ugly little moments over pronouns. Because that’s kinda the point – voluntary human interaction requires some degree of mutual respect, as opposed…

Amicus Curiae
In a conversation with a couple of other conservative alternative media pluggers a few months ago, the question of where the trans argument goes from here popped up. The consensus was that eventually, given the exceedingly experimental nature of the “treatments” involved, is that eventually the courts are going to settle this – making a…

Prediction
I’m going to go out on a short, sturdy limb and say that either… For his sake, I’m going to cross my fingers and hope for “b”.

What If Someone Threw A “Genocide”, And No Entire Groups Were Murdered?
In addition to football, we saw last week the annual “progressive” tradition of wrapping one’s self and others in un-earned victimhood. It was “Trans Violence Awareness Week”, during which Leftis pols conjured up victims from the ether to rally the soft-minded to their cause. Senator Smith, for starters (with a riposte from Shawh Holster) If…

Insidious
Article on how to respond to being “gaslit”… …gaslights half the species (emphasis added by me): The form of emotional abuse, where someone seeks to make a person doubt their own sanity, is something experienced by many – particularly women, who, according to a 2018 policing report, account for 95% of all gaslighting victims. The linked report, by the…

The Definition Of “Insanity”…
…is apparently… …uh…: …reciting scientific reality. In a video clip that surfaced this week, the musician, who grew up in San Francisco, asserted, “When God made you and me, before we came out of the womb, you know who you are and what you are. Later on, when you grow out of it, you see things and…

Filmy Streak
Movies are pretty streaky to me. Before Gran Torino came out I think I’d gone something like 3-4 years without seeing a movie in a theater. No big deal – I scarcely noticed it, and had plenty of other stuff to keep me busy. After the “lockdown” ended, I went to a couple of films…

The Racket
I’m not the world’s biggest Matt Walsh fan. Not because of what he says. Mostly because he’s a podcaster whose podcast gets plopped onto radio with a little editing. It’s not necessarily great radio. But radio purism aside, I watched “What is a Woman?” last week. And the part that stuck with me, the part…

Pronouns
Minnesota is transferring his first transgender female to the Shakopee women’s prison. But I’m not here to talk about the obvious issue. No – there are two issues that go way beyond putting (deep breath) bio-men into women’s prisons. Stay In Your Lane: Shakopee is referred to as a “women’s. prison”. Is the MN Department…

What’s Good For The Goose Is Good For The Gender
Hot on the heels of the pummeling of Bud Light over choosing a transgender spokesminstrel, this ad campaign claiming the history of beer for feminism, has surfaced: Corporate virtue-signaling? Sure. But that’s not the part that annoys me the most. The worst part is what this says about women in America today. Money Where Their…

Just Remember…
…that the DFL made Minnesota a sanctuary state for Munchausen Mommies like this soulless crone. (WARNING: You may vomit): And when a Munchhausen Mom like this walks through a custody order to bring the kid that they’re “transing” to MN, the state will put her wishes above that of the other state’s court order. Food…

Stochastic Terror, Part II: Whitewashed
Yesterday, we talked about the Five Christians You Meet in the Movies. And it started me thinking. Last year, I started but didn’t quite follow through on a statistical study of race and gender characteristics in TV advertisements, as well as the tone or general sense of stereotype associated with the “Characters”. Spoiler alert: white…

I’m Old Enough To Remember…
…when minstrel shows were considered bad form. That’s apparently changed: Jeffrey Marsh is enough to give me species dysmorphia.

One Morning In The Duchey Household
SCENE: It’s an ordinary morning in the home of Edwin DUCHEY, Proprietor at the (possibly fictional) progressive blog “MinnesotaLiberalAlliance.Blogspot.com”. DuChey was badly scarred by a childhood in which he was routinely bullied – by much younger children. He’s sitting in the living room, sorting through emails on his phone, as his partner, Stacey Hinton, Executive Director of…

Metaphor Alert
The latest Moms Want Action tweet. Like everything MWA says, it’s counterfactual… …but let’s stick with appearances and play a game of “Where’s Waldo”, where “Waldo” = “a black person”. \ See her back there? Peering over the shoulder of the woman with ELCA Hair, not that that narrows it down any? White, upper-middle-class female,…

Isolationists Fighting The World
Democrats, especially the MN DFL, pine for European style “social democracy” – or at least the kind they’ve incorporated into their romantic interpretation of 1970s-style Swedish and Danish socialism. Their teenage-girl-level keening is selective – they are quiet about the fact that Denmark, for example, has no minimum wage. But for the most part, DFLers…
