Calling All “Journalists”

More on the Ilhan Omar response tweet – itself just a big fascination – later.

Now – let’s take a look at this tweet, from someone justifying the hacking of crowd-funding data for people supporting the Trucker Convoy, included this photo and blurb:

Stay with me on this: it zigs, and it zags.

We’ve got “neo nazis”…

…at a libertarian, anti-masker rally of mostly rural, western, and libertarian-sympathetic Canadians, themselves likely to be not especially mask-y, especially if they take that whole Gadsden Flag “Don’t Tread On Me” thing seirouslly…

…all masked up as tightly as the most constipated Karen?

Does anyone ask actual questions anymore?

  1. “neo nazis” at a libertarian, anti-masker rally of mostly rural, western, and libertarian-sympathetic Canadians

    I just know one of the trolls will be able to help in connecting those dots.

  2. Given the FBI’s facility at infiltrating “right wing militias,” and in some cases directing their strategy & tactics, I’m not sure that smear and guilt by association works anymore.
    I am a pretty conservative guy, living in a pretty conservative rural county, but I know of no “right wing militias.”

  3. MP, I know of no “right wing militias.”
    there’s three guys who are kinda suspicious up in Trade Lake, but that might be because they are meth dealers.

  4. Omar is against this sort of thing as a matter of self-preservation. The last thing she wants is financial scrutiny.

  5. Omar has a sister who runs a NGO based in Kenya. The NGO has a web site but doesn’t appear to do much but accept money from the UN and of course the USA.

    it is thoroughly a coincidence that Omar sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where she serves as the Vice Chair of the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations. These committees appropriate various foreign aid funds.

    As a mildly interesting aside when you examine the JS of the sister’s NGO web site you find that it is authored by Omar’s brother/husband who apparently lives in england where he has easy access to the European banking system.

    Of course Omar doesn’t want scrutiny.

  6. The Nazi flag stands for total government control to purge Society of undesirables.

    The Gadsden flag stands for no government control, so undesirables can do as they please.

    Naturally, Canadian truck drivers would be flying intellectually diametrically opposed Flags. Because they are haters who hate both sides, left and right.

    They would have been carrying white supremacist tiki torches, too, but those are stuck on ships waiting to unload.

  7. Kim Potter just got 2 years for botched copping.

    I’m setting up a GiveSendGo account to fund her commissary fund. Not because I support cops, but because it will cause much reprobate misery.

    Read the tweets included in this leftist propaganda rag. For every dollar donated, you’ll get a quart of reprobate tears. What a deal!

    I think $5k should cover her for 16 months.

  8. I listened to the ricochet podcast today. It features a few current and former National Review people, such as Jonah Goldberg and Rob Long (Lileks was absent for this podcast episode).
    As I listened to this episode I couldn’t help but think of how far the National Review has fallen. Buckley famously said “I’d rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.” The current crop of NR writers believe the opposite.

  9. Who knew hacking is now an acceptable, even honorable, activity not punishable by law. Unless it is of course of the wrong hacking variety, targeting libturds.

  10. Where were masking regs ruthlessly enforced? Airplanes and airports.
    Back when cloth masks were all that were required, how many people caught covid while flying in a packed airplane or passing through a crowded airport?
    Uh, none.
    It is a joke without a punchline.

  11. Airplanes packed full of people, and for all the good their masks did them, they might as well have tied a hanky over their face holes because, it turns out, that is pretty much what they were doing.
    And yet air travel, with people jam packed for hours, sharing the same breathing space, and then dispersing all over the country was not a significant spreader of covid.
    Except now, of course, the CDC wants you to wear an N95 to get on a plane.
    There is no science behind this, it is all credibility-shredding politics as practiced by unelected bureaucrats and tyrannical governors.

  12. I am pointing out that being skeptical of covid health mandates is entirely reasonable.

  13. The odd thing is that the CDC and NIH bureaucrats keep doing things like, well, idiots. They do not seem to have any common-sense about what they are doing. They give fortune cookie responses to really important questions, that is, responses that have no testibility and can’t be proven wrong or right. On the rare occasion when “journalists” confront officials with the common-sense observation that people who have covid symptoms, or are asymptomatic but whom have taken a test that says they have covid, or who have children with a sniffle, are incentivized to NOT report that they may have covid, the bureaucrats say that is unfortunate. Jeebus, they’ve just taken a huge hit below the waterline and all they can say is “that is unfortunate”?
