Yesterday I published a post I don’t think this Dem Oklahoma State Rep gets it so I made some meme to explain it to him.

In it I included this meme:

The responses to his Tweet were almost universally the same.

Today we have a follow-up.

Let me get this out of the way: obviously I’m not moving forward with this bill as written. I’m glad many of you understood the idea but it clearly needs work. So to actual constituents of mine like @realmartypeercy who requested that I go back to the drawing board, I hear you.

I’ll own this: I should’ve been more thoughtful & thorough in crafting this bill in the first place. It’s clear there are many unintended consequences, both from the language & design. I appreciate folks like @CrownAndJoke & @kendallybrown, among others, for pointing them out.

— Forrest Bennett (@ForrestBennett) January 22, 2022

I understand how the language in my message and bill both hurt the cause instead of helping it, and I apologize for not being more thoughtful. Thanks again to everyone who genuinely engaged with me in an effort to make better policy.

Here is the takeaway:

The Left has absolutely no idea what Conservatives actually believe and instead believe Conservatives are the bullshit strawmen they make them out to be.  The Left then projects the worst aspect of their side onto the Conservatives.  They do this because the Leftist bubble is so thick and their echo chamber is so loud that reality rarely penetrates it.

In this case the Left’s mantra is that the Right wants to ban abortion because the Right hates women and wants to control them.

This bill also assumes that Conservative men are like Leftist men when it comes to sexual morals, i.e., easy sex and hookup culture.

This bill was supposed to scare Conservatives, i.e., “you’ll be financially responsible for the women you knock up when you sleep around.”

If he actually knew any Conservatives he’d know that Conservatives are anti-hookup culture and pro-marriage.  That isn’t a talking point, that’s real.

But he doesn’t actually know any Conservatives or understand what we think so made up a bill that attacked his strawman idea of Conservatives, and when we reacted with completely support if his bill, he had to pull it before it was passed overwhelmingly by the Oklahoma House.

This is a microcosm of politics in America.

If you want to understand why there is no more compromise and why I say we need a national divorce, it’s because their side doesn’t operate in reality but an echo chamber filled with Conservative strawmen.

The latest Quinnipiac poll show Biden has an approval rating of 33% and only 28% over voters want him to run for reelection.

Who are these people?

Who is the Biden support demographic?

Jen Psaki just told us.

Psaki on voting rights bills failing: "My advice to everyone out there who's frustrated, sad, angry, pissed off, feel those emotions, go to a kickboxing class, have a margarita, do whatever you need to do this weekend, and then wake up on Monday morning, we gotta keep fighting." pic.twitter.com/WkW4dJz0PB

Rich bored white women from the cities and suburbs with disposable income and a penchant for day drinking.

He’s the wine mom president.

We mourn Mr. Loaf's passing.

In the end, he finally let us know what that one thing was that he wouldn't do for love:

Get vaccinated.https://t.co/lt00aFX616

Generally I like the NY Post but not official cause of death has been released.

And to be fair Meatloaf was a 74 year old fat guy known to have had a heart problem and a long history of drug use, all the hallmarks of a legendary Rockstar of the 70’s and 80’s.

So there is no guarantee that even multiple vaccinations would have done anything for a man who had literally all the co-morbidities for fatal COVID.

Nevertheless, this Covidian has to dance on a man’s grave for being a heretic to the religion of Covid Fear and Compliance.

These people are utter garbage.

I underestimated the greedy stupidity of Secretary of Raytheon Stonks Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Leaving Americans in Afghanistan Mark Milley.

In President Eisenhower’s farewell address in 1961 he said:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

Austin and Milley are the physical embodiment of that.

So whats the latest news about our foreign policy?

Psaki cleans up Biden's ridiculous statement on allowing a small incursion into Ukraine: "If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that's a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, & united response from the United States and our Allies."

BREAKING: State Department orders families of U.S. embassy personnel in Ukraine to begin evacuating the country as soon as Monday: U.S. officials

Oh great…

Russia has nuclear tipped hypersonic missiles that can totally evade our missile defense systems.

We do not have equivalent weapons.  We spent two decades shooting medieval goat fuckers in the desert, we abandoned our development of strategic weapons.

(Probably because our top strategic enemy is China and the Chinese have successfully purchased our political class who would never sign off on developing weapons to use against their cash cow.)

So now we’re picking a fight with a nation with missile technology superior to ours, with a military that doesn’t teach its soldiers Critical Race Theory or list their preferred pronouns, over some country in Eastern Europe that happened to have been at the heart of a corruption scandal involving bribing the crackhead son of the current president.

Anyone else get the feeling we’re getting close to playing Fallout IRL Edition just so that a lot of corrupt assholes can keep lining their pockets?

Maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight but we could have squeezed Russia’s balls hard by blocking their pipeline to Germany and selling natural gas from Texas to Germany cheap.

But that doesn’t pump Raytheon Stonks.

We’re only six months out from having the Taliban step on our dicks and these guys are now playing chicken with the Ruskies.

Remember when Obama said “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.”

We about to find out just how bad he can fuck things up.

So I go online to look for blog fodder.

One of the things that is trending is West End Caleb.

In a nutshell, this dude in New York is on a hookup and dating app.  He’s hooking up with these girls who all give it up on the first or second date. Then as soon as he scores he disappears.

He’s a scumbag.

So these girls are creating and longer and longer thread of TikTok videos of their experiences with this piece of shit to the point where it’s trending and gone viral.

So these sluts are doxxing this piece of shit for doing exactly what this app was created to do, i.e., pair off people with poor morals for meaningless sexual encounters.

Fundamentally, I shouldn’t care about this.

I’ll let the late great Norm McDonald sum up my deepest and most sincere feelings on this matter:

But I’ll tell you why this upsets me.

Because everything goes on social media nowadays.

I open my browser and my news feed contains stories from The Daily Dot or some other pop culture site about a video that has gone viral over some bullshit minutia.

Some waitress didn’t get a tip from a rude couple or someone got into a minor argument over a last donut in the case at the grocery store (both are real examples) and instead of it being settled privately, it’s gone viral.

The alleged victim has a TikTok video with hundreds of thousands of views and a Go Fund Me with a $10,000 goal because she got stiffed on a $20 tip.  The alleged perpetrators are being doxxed and destroyed without the opportunity to defend themselves.

I’m old enough to remember when shit like this was settled in person.

I was a waiter once.  You get stiffed and you go back into the kitchen and call that customer a dick.

You get into an argument at the Kroger and you end it with “fuck you, fuck your mother, and fuck everyone who has fucked your mother, which is most of the fucking state.”

And that’s it.

No permanent damage.

Today, it feels like one of those westerns where the gunslinger comes to town and pushes everyone around because he’s the quickest draw in territory.

Except in this case it’s the TikToker or Twitter user with thousands or millions of followers who can get their narrative out faster and to more people to murder your reputation online who is the gunslinger in the black coat.

This is the greatest evil of social media.

To borrow the words of the Bolshevik revolutionary Pasha: “The personal life is dead in America. Social media has killed it.”

That’s some fine police work! Moment sobbing girl, 9, and five adults are ARRESTED at New York’s Natural History Museum for refusing to show COVID vaccine cards: Onlookers heckled heavy-handed NYPD cops

The arrests, which come amid soaring crime in the Big Apple, took place on Wednesday. Trouble began when a half-dozen purported members of the New York Freedom Rally – a group that has been staging anti-vax protests throughout the city – attempted to enter the Manhattan museum without showing their vaccine passports in violation of rules. Those require every visitor five years and older to show proof of vaccination.

Here us video:

NYC has had a record number of people pushed in front of subway trains in the last year and a 343% increase in anti Asia hate crimes but they have cops to pull an unvaxxed 9-year-old out of a museum.

A pox on NYC and the Waffen NYPD.
