Crazy River

I expected to be traveling this week, so I planned the show in advance, but some unexpected misadventures changed my plans. I liked the show so rather than do something new I kept it. The only thing I regret is I was not able to talk about Trump destroying girl power on CNN this week. It was a masterful performance that was reminiscent of his 2016 campaign.

The crazy thing about it is the people at CNN seemed to think that girl power would be able to handle Trump. What were they thinking? Megyn Kelly was ten times better at being girl power and Trump wrecked her career in one show. Kaitlan Collins is supposed to be CNN’s new star and now everyone is laughing at her. Even the crazies have turned on her and CNN over this event.

The destruction of girl power was not the best part of the show. The audience was laughing right along with Trump. There was one shot of the crowd where older women were holding their hands over their mouths as Trump described his recent court case with the crazy woman. They were laughing so hard they were afraid their dentures would fly out, so they had their hands over their mouths.

Again, what in the world was CNN thinking? Reportedly they just let people in who wanted to be in, rather than hiring actors as is now standard. Those normal people were there because they at least think Trump deserves a chance. That meant he had a chance to win the crowd. It was if someone at CNN decided to stack the deck against girl power so she came off looking ridiculous.

This was also bad news for Team DeSantis. This was the old Trump, the guy who won in 2016 mocking the establishment and their pieties. He did not do that in 2020, because he thought he had to be restrained as president. He is not president now, so he seems to think he can be himself. That and he seems to have no illusions about winning any friends in the establishment.

Trump is not going to win the 2024 election and may be forced out of the primary by party shenanigans, but it was good to see the old Trump again. He was always best as a wrecking ball, mocking stupid people like girl power. What made Trump fun in 2016 is that he revealed these people to be feckless airheads. That is what we need more of, so it is good to see the old Trump again.

  1. I disagree that Trump is not going to win in 2024. We can’t count that out just yet and we should labor for that end in good hope. Politics isn’t perfect, political candidates aren’t perfect, and political systems aren’t perfect, but still you need to pick a horse and stick with him and go to war with the army you have. Trump represents the best chance of a decent outcome that lies within “the art of the possible,” so I would think that helping him is both necessary and righteous.

    • You’ve missed Z’s point entirely. Regardless of the support he gets, they will make sure he doesn’t win. In fact, they will probably make sure he doesn’t even run. It wouldn’t surprise me if they assassinated him.

      • Indeed. You can’t put anything–anything–past the pit fiends. The mask has slipped, the gloves are off, it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy…and…well…I’m fresh out of cliches.

    • Let tptb assassinate (or go through the trouble of stealing an election) of Trump or RFK JR. There more people now who who will assume the worst. Then let us make them martyr to our cause.

  2. Never understood who the girl-boss is supposed to appeal to. Every married man has listened to that scolding, hectoring tone at some point or another, as has withheld the urge to roll his eyes clear to the back of his head, and most women have a memory of the high school mean girl who tried to sabotage her friendships using the same tactics.

    There’s maybe a ten percent demographic of older, childless, female ball-busters this relates to, and it seems more and more this adds up to well over half of modern media.

    That being said, Trump gave everyone a master-class in keeping frame and not allowing someone to set the terms of debate.

    • It’s a good question. I think I establishment gets high on the idea of castrating males. I’m talking about the kind of “men” who are now in high positions of power.

      And liberal and moderate white women seem to imagine themselves as girl bosses. I’m afraid they are natural toadies to power. They’re not really exercising power on their own behalf, they’re more like enforcers in a cult. Like the tattletales we grew up with.




      20
      • The girl boss does not see herself as a leader in the traditional sense, but rather as the rules enforcer, the consensus builder and the fairness Tsar. Her concern is for the process, not the product.

        There are exceptions, but they are rare, and without exception, they all want to be loved by those they rule.

  3. Absolutely right that Trump was hired to be a wrecking ball. Not to create chaos but to expose the morons and question deeply why we’re doing certain things (like NATO). That’s when he’s at his best.

    But when he’s trying to win over the establishment or please his daughter Ivanka, that’s when he’s at his worst.

  4. Join Kaitlyn and her new co-host, Ellen Degeneres!
    “Reading Hour with Bojangles”

    “I for one would love to see the old-fashioned minstrel shows come back, …

    I would call it “Reading Hour with Bojangles” and we would sing old time plantation songs. If snacks are needed, we would serve corn bread, collard greens, and chitlins with a side of sweet tea..”

  5. Speaking of “girl power”, I see Musk has apparently hired some super duper woke girl power old bag to run twatter. I guess the idea that platform might have become a little more free speech oriented under Elon can be utterly scrapped once and for all.

      • Musk needs Twitter to make more money. The only reason to hire her is to bring the advertisers back. The problem could be I doubt most of them are suffering as a result of pulling their ads off Twitter. Are they going to pay simply to prop up the platform? They still do this for network television, but it has another revenue source from carrier fees. What does Musk do when she can’t make it profitable?

    • WEF Chair, on the Ad Council pushing the Vaxx, DEI, and #StandUptoJewishHate!

      I see nothing but positives here.
      She’s gonna help Elon boost Twitter’s ad revenue into orbit!
      Maybe a rollout of Twitter Light?

        • It looks like he’s not being allowed to do what he wanted with Twitter: reform it into the “identity portal” everyone has to pass through to be allowed on the rest of the internet.

          Remember when he said that was his plan? Nobody does!

          Turns out the shitlib equivalent of normie-cons (e.g., journalists and elected officials) are too rage-addled to let him take his allotted place in the conspiracy, so he has to hand it off to girlboss/whore #90845.

        • That would not surprise me at all. The Left wants their binkie back. Musk wants to recoup his losses. The Left would see “The new and improved Twitter 2.0, now with 5000x more censorship!” as a big win… but since they’re currently getting ratioed when they urge more and more censorship, they need to have some “soft” censorship in place first.

          Sounds like a good time for an office betting pool: Musk sells Twitter to Soros Media in ____. I’ve got “early spring 2024” — early enough to where they can use it to disguise all the massive Fortification for Democracy, but not so late in the game that it’s really obvious what they’re doing.

    • I’m suspicious of how much power a CEO even has anymore. Add this to the fact she sounds like a complete goofball and it makes me wonder is Elon will still be really calling the shots.

      The company I work with has a female CEO, and interactions with her have been…. uninspiring. It’s not just he women either, but all of them are becoming more and more figureheads, like British royalty. People don’t understand how rare a real CEO like Musk, love him or hate him, is.

      • The power of a CEO really is overrated; more a figurehead to potentially blame if the Current Plan doesnt work out.. It’s the people below xim that cause the most harm, if history is anything to by.

    • Ah, of course. A Twat for Twatter.

      Never trusted the Muskrat and placing any woman in charge of Twatter is treachery, dooming ‘free speech’.

      Placing a WEF stooge — much less a feminist ad-exec who ran the Propaganda Department at NBC — in the Twatter top spot is total betrayal. It is not only to embrace the Lie, but to impose the Lie upon the masses.

      You see me coming down the street, Muskrat, you better run.

  6. I felt like Trump missed an opportunity and could have humiliated Collins right at the start. She was previously the “entertainment editor” at the Daily Caller where a big portion of her job was posting clickbait stories. Trump should have started with something like, “Kaitlyn, I’ve followed your career for a long time, I loved your work at the Daily Caller when you were working for my friend Tucker Carlson, especially that story you did on the hottest Syrian refugees.” I doubt she would have held her composure.

    • He does seem to have a tendency to not totally destroy his opponent. Part of it might be his streak of civility, but it also might be because he’s actually careful in his takedowns. If he accuses them of petty things, but then when they get all bent out of shape out of it and run two-hour long TV specials about it, it’s his opponents who come off as deranged and petty.

  7. ‘’Human assisted migration’’. I thought you were going to refer to the southern border, not nature meddling.

  8. Like Zman has pointed out many times, these people are not reality based. They believe in ridiculous ideas. That being the case they are easily destroyed by someone who is willing and in a position to do so.

    The reason for the normal people and not actors? They think everyone in America hates Trump and believes what they believe now, so they don’t have to bother with actors.

    • We’re three years into the junta and the bug people are still blaming everything going wrong on Trump.

      • Obama set the precedent of not being roasted by the media for blaming everything on mess-I-inherited-from-[X].

        I think few normie con grifto-pundits talk about Obama’s term any more not because there is nothing to usefully analyze from it, but because Soulful Poetry Boy From the Hawaiian ‘Hood permanently broke the idea of politics as practice, changed it into politics as performance. Griftcons need you to believe that a — not to pick on him; he’s just currently the one in the barrel — DeSantis who’s Smart and knows Good Policy and went to National Review-approved grooming universities is just the ticket to correct the societal AIDS we witness acutely thanks to the Internet. But whatever DeSantis’s actual abilities or mettle, we do not need a Pres. Whitey Corngood who will immediately hire legions of AEI and Heritage staffers. We rather need someone free of predilections for cosplaying “The West Wing” as Obama’s credentialed ilk performed. Anyway, for obvious reasons, we probably won’t get that, it is against the telos of the system. Next prez after The Biden will undoubtedly be a circus freak like Fetterman or that Bronx knock-off of Eva Peron.

  9. Regarding tree migration. The cycle of hubris never ends. On my ranch I battle at least five different invasive species, at least four of which were introduced intentionally by the forebearers of the forestry officials planning the tree migration.

    The history of intentionally human-introduced invasive species is rife with catastrophe.

  10. One of the dumbest things about the Media and Trump is the repeated claim that he received the equivalent of 5 billion dollars’ worth of free coverage during the 2016 election.

    This serves the purpose of (falsely) absolving the Media for his rise in stature, while at the same time hiding the fact that advertising revenue for the networks were at all time highs. For all the protestations they want him back. For profits, they need him back.

    CNN is still trying to recoup the sunken costs of the failed CNN+ failure, and one can almost guarantee that behind closed doors executives were nearly giddy about the town hall uproar.

    “CNN sunk $300 million into the streaming service, according to The Wall Street Journal, hiring big-name anchors, including the former “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace and the former NPR host Audie Cornish.”

  11. Sorry about the trip, Z. Looks like it would have been fun.

    As to Trump, it’s still fun to watch him make the establishment look like deranged fools, but I have to say that I can’t bring myself to care much anymore. In 2016, it was a ball, but after BLM riots, Covid and Biden’s hate whitey campaign, I’m just done with the other side.

    I’ve reached the indifference stage. I just want a divorce, whatever the cost. I don’t want to argue with these people, I don’t even care enough to laugh at them because that means that they are still in my life. I just want them gone.

    So, good for Trump, but he and the MAGA crowd are still playing a game that they can’t win. As someone once said, I don’t want a seat at the table. I want to turn the table over.

  12. There is a root to the Crazy. We have been too affluent for too long. All the ancestral drivers for eliminating the stupid and the inept were washed away with the advent of civilization, industrialization, and mass communications technology. A huge cohort of people can now get away with being useless and moderately harmful because of the excesses of the current age and the ability to borrow on the future. And its clearly getting worse faster.

    And there are no adults in the room. A flood of impoverished illegals is now racing across the Southern border bringing disease, hunger, crime, and chaos like a biblical plague. Border state governors are simply aiding in the distribution of these dependents deep into the interior, where they will take root like a metastasizing cancer. What we are seeing is a variation of the Mouse Utopia Experiment in which the colony collapse is being engineered with deliberate malice.

    Why is this being done? Because the models suggest that when the pressure cooker finally explodes most of the Untermenschen will turn on each other in a melee of mutual slaughter which then justifies and enables a Jackboot solution.

    Cui bono? We have no fate but what we make. Smarter, not harder.

      • Jeffrey Zoar: Abbott is all about the optics, never the substantive. He loves sending the National Guard to the border with no rounds for their weapons. My son wasted 5 months of his life on one such ‘optic’ and could do nothing but watch as the endless line of mestizo campesinos crossed onto our magic dirt.

    • Uncertain how you could find this shocking in 2023.

      AWFLs (Affluent White Female Liberals) are some of the most radical and fanatical of the DIEversity cult. They would gladly line you up against the wall 3 at a time to save bullets were they ever given free license to do so.

      Look at that one woman in the article and those crazy eyes along with her comments and “Satanist” leanings. People like that are legion in Loudon County VA and all the sh-tlib rich lily white counties surrounding DC proper.

      They are the most vocal and hostile yet, to a person, not a single one of them has a black neighbor or has lived next to an apartment with a dozen illegals packed into it. Funny that…

  13. Good podcast. A few random thoughts:

    Re trees–

    These psychopaths can wreak enormous environmental damage to forests if they begin tinkering with the trees they think Mother Gaia demands to heal her wounds. The deciduous and coniferous forest belts in North America have not changed, and trying to play God within them will be the same as introducing invasive species into the fauna. These lunatics are the same as those in the Commune who lopped the heads off gargoyles. Strike that, they are worse.

    –Ol’ Fuzz is hilarious but typical. Despite the fact they are enormous fuck ups, the Left seeks to perfect even its opposition with their perceived albeit absent wisdom, to the extent political opposition even exists. After Biden was installed, leftwingers were sincerely suggesting they choose their opponents outright rather than implicitly. Even if the demographic catastrophe had not taken place. the prevalence and dominance of White leftists already would have rendered the United States’ political system the pathetic joke it is.

    –On Trump, CNN is engaged in a massive struggle session. Anderson Cooper has penned a column on why people would be justified never to watch the network again. These people are quite insane and we do not need to be in the same polity. The carnival barker dispelled any illusion these people do not richly deserve to be liquidated although the likelihood is they will continue to slither until they get everyone impoverished and/or nuked.

  14. Fuzz is adhering to the iron law of progressivism by accusing us of doing or planning to do what he and his buddies have been doing for decades.,
