About Last Week...

AWFUL Justice

Note - sorry about last week not being up, um, last week - scheduling snafu on my part. That’s why this week’s is open to all, comments included!

Seven is a number – a million is a statistic.

Show me the man and then I’ll show you the crime.

For my supporters, everything – for my opponents, the law.

Oh, if Rome had only one neck to strangle.

My first 20% of donors get 80% of the pie, the next 80% get 20% of the pie and what does everyone else get?  Good government.

One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous bug.

Bow down before me, Jorel.

Even if government is a necessary evil, it need not necessarily be evil…unless you want it to be.

I’m taking my ball and going home.

The blind leading the justice.

Show me the man and I’ll let you pick the crime.

Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you and you sold me.

What a dump.

Just a few thoughts (mostly from other people) on the Trump trial, if you couldn’t tell.

TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is not an acronym, but it would be catchier if it were as everyone loves a good acronym.

NASA, NIMBY, RADAR, ASAP, etc. (not an acronym, by the way, but an abbreviation of the Latin “et cetera” which means “and the rest,” just like the end of the theme song for first season or so of “Gilligan’s Island.  But I digress) are all acronyms.

There are other naughty acronyms – SNAFU and FUBAR – and there are acronyms meant to further define other acronyms.  For example, a BANANA is an extreme NIMBY, with BANANA standing for “Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone.”

And then there are politically apt acronyms, such as the relatively recent arrival, courtesy of Fox’s brilliant Greg Gutfeld, of AWFUL which stands for:

Affluent

White

Female

Urban

Liberal.

Now, this may seem mean and sexist, etc. but if you take a look at many of the recent progressive political efforts and you will find at and/or near the top an AWFUL.

HR departments are full of AWFULs, as are evil woke “non-profit” socially active foundations.

For example, there are California’s own Four Horsewomen of the Awokalypse.  They’ve been bankrolling a big chunk of the woke/justice reform/whatever the hell it is effort in California and around the nation and they make up the very progressive Smart Justice PAC and here are the very very rich women behind it: Quinn Delaney, wife of a San Francisco developer (note – I’d start saving your money, Quinn), Kaitlyn Krieger, wife of the guy who co-founded Instagram, Patty Quillin, wife of the guy who started Netflix, and Elizabeth Simons, daughter of a hedge fund billionaire.

How AWFUL are they?  Their donation list reads like a progressive awards night program and, even better, they are associated with Tides Advocacy, which is part of the Tides Foundation, which was just sued by (part of) the BLM movement for stealing it’s money.  And of course, there are the three AWFUL university presidents of MIT, Penn, and Harvard.  Well, only one’s left, but still.

AWFUL is similar to the “wealthy white westside woke women” John Kobylt of KFI in LA speaks of so often and it is similar to the “socialist socialite statist” women I’ve mentioned a few times.

New person in charge of NPR?  AWFUL.  Leader of the European Union?  AWFUL.  Former International Monetary Fund now European Central Bank chief?  AWFUL.  California’s First Partner?  AWFUL.  Pretty much every MSNBC host (including the guys)?  AWFUL.  Hilary?  AWFUL AWFUL. 

And when Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum finally shuffles off his mortal coil – in his case, it’s snakeskin – he will be replaced at helm of the octopus by an AWFUL, 1,000% guaranteed.

How did this happen?  Well, a lot more women than men have been going to college in the past few decades, denying a woman a promotion will get you sued (possibly,) and contradicting a woman public will get you cancelled. The last two are more situational than universal, but we all know where the trend is heading.

Of course, there is another biological/evolutionary explanation.  As noted previously, men will do nearly anything if there is even the slightest possibility of invoking the “getting some clause:”

Did you really think that kinda cute guy really cared about Justice for East Timor and that’s all that was on his mind when he spent two hours that Saturday morning with you handing out pamphlets?

Hate to break it to you gals, but he was just playing the odds.

The “getting some clause” is recognized by the International Court of Justice at The Hague and in general is considered proper for contractual considerations.  Well, maybe not but still the clause can be invoked for various reasons beyond going to protests about something you do not care at all about: for example, if a person is the designated driver for a night out with friends and happens to meet up with a girl during the festivities, the clause can be properly and emphatically invoked to abandon said driver duty.

So let’s make the world less AWFUL - maybe it’s time to bring back the old fat corrupt gladhanding golfing harassing quite often drunkish white guys who used to run the show.

Maybe not  - but there should be something in between – basing public service on merit and competence, perhaps?

Or at least not basing every single decision in every aspect of life based on putative political persuasion.

Speaking of political persuasion, Hunter Biden’s gun trial started last week. 

Was he hammered when he filled out his gun purchase form?  Very Probably.

If he was not hammered during that exact moment, was he hammered right before or right after?  Very very certainly.

So he’s guilty, but it does bring up the question of their being ticky-tack charges, paperwork issues, a bit like Trump’s.

True, people do get charged with this crime on a semi-regular basis, unlike the Trump case which wasn’t a crime, has literally never been brought before, and will literally never be brought again.

But it seems relatively minor compared to what charges he should actually be facing:  money laundering, accessory to bribery, gross violation of federal; “foreign agent” laws, etc. 

The gun charges are a bit like charging him with cocaine possession and hooker-using – they all go with the territory for Hunter.

With regular folks, those charges are the throw-aways – ok, plead guilty to publicly practicing animal husbandry in exactly the wrong way and we’ll toss the pot charge.

It is true, though,  that the chances of him “flipping” on daddy-o are pretty minimal – he can pardon him (and the rest of the family)  January 19^th, 2025 so Hunter can appeal the conviction, stay out of jail, and let justice take its majestic course.

As for this week’s thank you epigram, it comes from quite possibly the best television show ever made:  Archer.  It’s on both Netflix and Hulu – the whole thing – so do go and watch and you will hear more gems like this:

“Introspection is the enemy of happiness.”
