Bite Me

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

It seems like the PjMedia Complex — Townhall, Twitchy, and PJM itself are increasingly turning their websites into PPV.

So a link from PJM’s Godfather — Insty — on a big story such as this:

…has the embedded link:

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2025/06/17/fbi-hands-congress-documents-with-alarming-allegations-about-the-2020-election-n2658948

When you follow the link, of course it takes you to the Townhall page.  However, if like me you hate being bombarded with fucking Facebook links masquerading as ads, or ads that lead you to click-bait sites, ads hawking the books penned by hem hem PJM writers, and (my favorite) pop-up auto-start ads or links) you will have installed an ad-blocker like Adblock or Badger.

So when you get to the Townhall site via that link from Insty, you get a grayed-out screen with this set of options:

Okay, here’s the deal.  I can’t afford to be a “VIP” subscriber because quite frankly, my subscription budget is pretty much zero.  There’s a plethora of choices for my subscription pennies (note:  pennies, not dollars — this is important, as you’ll see later), and PJM VIP is not, shall we say, a premium choice.

Fine, say I, and so I resort to using archive sites like https://archive.is/ to bypass the paywall.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

So, because I want to read all about the Kash Patel / 2020 election thing, I go to DuckDuckGo and type in “kash patel 2020 election”, and get a series of choices.  Skipping the left-wing media (NBC, Daily Beast, Newsweek etc.) I find a link to the Washington Examiner, which finally gives me free access to the story I want to read:

FBI Director Kash Patel has turned over a batch of internal documents to Congress detailing allegations that Chinese operatives sought to interfere in the 2020 election by mass-producing fake U.S. driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in voting.

The intelligence, which Patel said on Monday night he had recently declassified, has been sent to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has led oversight efforts into foreign election interference and pressed the bureau to release details surrounding the alleged scheme.

And even worse:

“These include allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots — allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public,” Patel said.

Let’s be honest, here:  this is a really big fucking deal, and if it’s proven to be true, we have two major issues:  1) China was fucking with our election in 2020 — yeah, 81 million Biden votes, kiss my ass, and 2) the FBI knew about it and did sweet fuck-all about it.  (And Just The News‘s followup article is even more damning.)

But back to my main point.

Everyone who works has to make a buck to keep the head above the water, individuals as much as organizations, and nothing comes free in this world.  I know this, because I am one such person.  So PJMedia has every right to require me to pay for their work, i.e. to read their articles.

My problem is that I can’t afford to pay their monthly sub fee because as I said, there are literally hundreds of such subs available.  And to be brutally frank, while PJM’s content is quite good, it’s not that good (Stephen Green and only a couple of other writers excepted).  Few of the conservative websites are that good, either.

Frankly, if I’m going to be brutally honest:  if I can afford only one subscription, I think I may subscribe to the above-mentioned Just The News, because their coverage and editorial stance seems to be what I’m looking for.  And the price seems to be about right, too:

  OR: 

That’s about $0.12 (twelve cents) per day — about the cost of a newspaper print subscription back in 1960, which sounds about right, for digital content.  (I recently got a small tax refund from the IRS, which funded this sub. [irony alert] )

Of course, I may be disappointed — one usually is, in matters of this nature, as I was with an earlier subscription to Epoch Times, quickly canceled — but what the hell, it’s only money and information, right?

So I’ll be linking to a lot of JTN articles in the future.  Let me know if they start playing reindeer games with their pages (like PJM outlets do) and I’ll just post longer excerpts.

Sauces, Goose, Gander For The Use Of

We’ve all seen recently that acolytes of the Left have been vandalizing Tesla cars, destroying Tesla charging points and attempting to damage Tesla dealerships — all because they disapprove of what Tesla founder Elon Musk has been doing to bloated government, or soemthing.

POTUS Trump calls these activities “domestic terrorism” while several people at CNN label them “a protest“.

I just want to see if I’ve got this clear.

So according to CNN:  if I were to, say, firebomb Michael Moore’s (empty) house because I strongly disagree with all the things he’s said, that would be just “a protest” ?

What about painting “Lefty Scum” on Chuck Schumer’s car?  Also “a protest” ?

How about circulating a bumper sticker like this one?

Would this too be an example of First-Amendment-protected “protest” ?

I’m just trying to understand the ground rules, here.

Counter-Revolution

So now we are faced with this line of bullshit:

…this, in addition to the attacks on Tesla dealerships all over the place.

I have two thoughts on this.

Firstly, I’d love someone to find out which organization, precisely, paid for these bumper stickers.

Secondly, there is a Tesla dealership in Plano — specifically, in the uber-trendy Legacy West strip — which, coincidentally, is literally less than a hundred yards from a Plano P.D. mini-station.  I think I’ll swing by said cop-shop in the next few days to see if they’ve increased surveillance of the dealership — there are cameras a-plenty already installed in the area — because if they have, they’d be able to nab any “protesters” (vandals) pretty much in the act.

What I’d really like to do is sit across the road in my parked car late at night with some kind of anti-goblin accessory* at hand, e.g.

…but I doubt whether New Wife would let me, and the Plano fuzz would probably also disapprove thereof.  Pity.

In general, it appears that as Trump and DOGE are becoming more and more successful in their attempts to MAGA, the Left are beginning to despair — which means that there’s an ever-increasing prospect of Antifa/anti-Israel/BLM/eco-terrorist-type violence in the offing.

In the above article, the author writes:

In a free country of hundreds of millions of people, bad and destructive ideas are bound to catch on among a few thousand lunatics. But we have a cure for anti-American and anti-Semitic criminal behavior: put the criminals who act unlawfully upon those ideas in prison, confiscate their funds, uproot their criminal networks, deter their would-be imitators, and give public spaces back to the decent Americans who deserve them.

He left out another kind of cure:  a contrary populace who are just as angry as these anti-Western terrorist wannabes and have had it up to here with their bullshit.  Just remember:  they fucking started it, and they should not be surprised if there’s a visceral, bitter reaction to their little reindeer games.

Just sayin’.


*Of course, I don’t actually own anything evil like that — may I remind you of that Tragic Boating Accident On The Brazos all those years ago? — but you get my drift.

No Surprises There

A couple of days ago, Rep. Rich McCormick (R) had a town hall meeting in his Georgia district and a whole bunch of citizens showed up to give him shit about Orange Hitler and Sturmbannfuehrer  Musk.

Well, of course, all was not quite what it seemed:

CBS included a quote from one of the protest’s organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent.  Goldman does live in McCormick’s district, though she’s far from a concerned supporter of the two-term Republican. A self-described “Democrat & Political Activist,” Goldman coordinated volunteers for Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020, according to her LinkedIn. Shortly thereafter, she ran for her local county commission as a Democrat seeking to enact a “more inclusive policy agenda.” Goldman has donated exclusively to Democrats and sent Kamala Harris’s campaign more than $1,500 last year, according to campaign finance records

Across the country, similar protests played out at House GOP town halls and district offices. The demonstrations drove mainstream media coverage of brewing backlash against the Trump administration as the lower chamber left Washington, D.C., for a week-long recess. Well-funded liberal organizations organized many of them.

The George Soros-funded groups Indivisible and MoveOn were at the center of the demonstrations. Both groups launched national “mobilization” efforts targeting the “Trump-Musk agenda” and “Trump-Musk coup” during the recess period. MoveOn said its “members and allies will show up at congressional-led town halls and congressional offices around the country, targeting House Republicans whose votes will be crucial in opposing Trump and Musk’s harmful policies.” Indivisible issued a “Musk or Us Recess Toolkit” that showed members how to find their local town halls and urged them to “take the fight to Elon.”

So much for the “backlash”.  But it just shows how much these feral Commie fuckers are prepared to lie and cheat just to try to stop Trump and Musk from doing what they promised to do during the campaign, and who were elected for those precise reasons.

Give it gooder and harder, boys;  we’re still backing you.

Okay, Congressman

Here’s an interesting take:

Congressman Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) reminded the country last week why the Second Amendment is so vital to the United States.

The former Long Beach mayor called on the Democratic Party to “bring actual weapons” in the “fight for democracy.”

So you’ll bring your “actual” weapons to fight for democracy — what you call democracy, at any rate.

Challenge accepted.  Be White, and make the first move.  We’ll see how this plays out.

Are they really this stupid?

New Word

…and I like it:

Germany’s hard-right AfD party has vowed a total closure of borders for 100 days and signalled it would enact mass deportations if it wins power in the upcoming election.

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of Alternative for Germany, announced the party’s election manifesto, endorsing a policy ‘remigration’ for migrants, regardless of their citizenship status.

Not only is “remigration” a lovely description of the action, but the words that follow it are even more portentous:  “regardless of their citizenship status”.  (Cue:  screams of “racism” now.)

So if you’re a German citizen and drive your car headlong into a Christmas market while waving a Palestinian flag and screaming “Allah akbar” or whatever, expect to get your ass (and your entire family) shipped back to Shitholistan as soon as your prison sentence ends.  Sounds appropriate, dunnit?  And those mosques you’re so proud of and use to spread your loathsome 9th-century socio-political philosophy, and call “a spear into the heart of the infidels”?  Cue the bulldozers.  (Are those screams deafening, yet?)

And finally, a pro tip:  AfD are not even remotely “far-Right” — unless, of course, common sense, a demand for justice and national pride are rightwing principles.
