Baker Versus Noonan
9 replies
Susan Baker read Peggy Noonan’s recent Wall Street Journal column so that you don’t have to. Baker took issue with Noonan in a letter to the editor published yesterday. It’s hard to nail Noonan down in the column, but Baker bites on Noonan’s set-up:
"Peggy Noonan starts out decrying Joe Biden as 'too old and infirm' to be president and Donald Trump as 'too crazy' (“2024: A Certain Fatalism Sets In,” Declarations, May 11). I think this gives Old Joe a pass; after all, who doesn’t feel for an old man?
Instead, I see a man who has spent his adult life living off the largesse of political power.
For a brief moment in early 2024, it seemed like Disney might have learned its lesson. The once-admired company saw financial gains under new leadership amid some pointed public statements vowing to focus more on entertainment and less on politics. The slop is solidly trending downhill again, though, and it's become clear that no actual lessons were learned.
The most recent example comes via the Disney+ investment and partnership with the BBC to stream the umpteenth season of "Dr. Who." As RedState's Brad Slager laid out on Friday, former showrunner Russell T. Davies returned for this latest iteration, and he's decided to make "queerness" a centerpiece.

Digging into our archives I find a previous comment on Rochelle Olson: “Rochelle Olson is a pitiful excuse of a reporter for the Star Tribune. Back in 2006, I called her out as ‘reckless and feckless,’ a judgment I stand by today.” If you run into me around town and have an hour or two to spare, ask me why.
Olson covered President Trump’s appearance as the featured speaker at our impecunious state party’s Lincoln Reagan dinner last night. It sounds like a good time was had by all except Olson:
"Former President Donald Trump headlined the state Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner on Friday in St. Paul, repeatedly ripping

It was the time of trials. The twentieth century tested the strength of civilization to the limit. As Westerners indebted to Roman law and Erasmus of Rotterdam humanism, we barely survived the mortal challenges of Bolshevism and Nazism. Like the ancient Greeks, the founders of democracy who had to go to war with the Persians time and time again, we faced the threat of final annihilation. It was touch and go.
Before the outbreak of World War I, none but the most tormented misanthropes could have guessed the extent of the man-made disasters that awaited humanity. Bastards of the war, the twin ideologies of Soviet-style communism and national socialism —
The Biden administration announced Thursday that it's officially moving forward with a proposal to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III.
The Justice Department submitted the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to the Office of the Federal Register and, if approved, the rescheduling would limit the punishment for those who are in possession of marijuana when it comes to a federal crime.
The proposal is subject to a 60-day public comment period. After that, the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration can assign an administrative law judge to consider the evidence and make a final scheduling recommendation

President Barack Obama was never much of a friend to Israel. He wasn't much of anything when it came to American foreign policy but Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were particularly antagonistic toward each other.
Now, ten years later, former Obama aides and members of his administration have branched out and taken lucrative, high-ranking positions at some of the left-wing nonprofit organizations that make up a network of far-left, anti-Israel groups currently funding the efforts to stoke unrest on campuses.

"The whole point of free speech is that it allows people to express any political or social position, including what any one of us considers 'hate speech.' And 'hate speech' now means 'any position the left differs with.' " —Dennis Prager, "The Left Ruins Everything"
I’ve had occasion to discuss the mordant travesty now before the Canadian parliament known as Bill C-63, or the “Online Harms Act.” The Bill represents so serious a threat to the freedom and sovereignty of the Canadian people that it merits stringent reconsideration before its third and final reading in the Commons. The Act, proposed by Justin Trudeau’s Justice Minister Arif
The Fifth Amendment has long stood in the way of the schemes of public officials. Since the early days of the republic, federal, state and local governments have felt the need to acquire the private property of citizens. This has spawned almost two centuries of eminent domain case law and precedent requiring reasonable grounds and just compensation for private land acquisitions.
Inevitably, there has been a long arms race between usurious public servants and the people. Over the past 50 years, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has pioneered a litany of highly contested but thus far effective "workarounds"

Statement from President Joe Biden Marking International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
Have we not enough phobias already? There’s three phobias in that title already and I fear more are coming.

Illegal immigration and control over the nation's borders will be one of the major issues in this fall's elections, and a key aspect of that issue is the number of people who are present in the country today - and what should be done about them. Should he win reelection, former President Donald Trump is reportedly being advised to deport almost 20 million illegal aliens, in a project similar to the United Kingdom's Rwanda policy: "Donald Trump’s allies are drawing up detailed proposals to implement the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s plans for an unprecedented immigration crackdown, including an effort that would deport asylum seekers to other countries,
What if Biden Wins in November? Part One

No one can predict the future, of course, or if there will even be one. But all of us crystal ball gaze—if we live, it will be in today’s future. So, we make plans and contingencies based on our best guesses of what the short-term and long-term will bring. We do that individually, and we need to do it as a country.
The re-election of Joe Biden in November, as improbable and horrifying as the thought is to right-thinking Americans, is far from impossible. All the polls tell us that, currently, Mr. Trump has the edge, but that the election will probably be close. Of course,
Not long ago, President Joe Biden promised to transform the American auto industry -- "first with carrots, now with sticks," is the analogy The Washington Post used.
Now, I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I'd trust the president to drive my car much less dictate the future of industrial policy. Yet, Biden implemented draconian emissions limits for all vehicles, ensuring that within nine years, 67% of all new passenger cars and trucks will be electric.

First lady and fake “doctor” Jill Biden ludicrously claimed Saturday that former President Donald Trump will destroy the public education system if reelected to office.
Speaking at the United Federation of Teachers’ annual spring conference, she argued instead that her husband, President Joe Biden, is the one who’ll bless public education.
“I always believed that Joe would be the best education president,” she said, according to the New York Post.
Uh huh … [Tweet]
Trump, on the other hand, “wakes up every morning caring about one person — and one person only — himself,” she added.
“Donald Trump doesn’t want to strengthen our public education system — he wants to destroy it,”
The president didn't use Trump or the GOP's name as he addressed graduating seniors from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, but it was clear who he was talking about as he brought up January 6 amid their commencement ceremony.
'Insurrectionists who stormed the capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some,' Biden told the seniors, graduating from the historically black, all-male institution. 'Not in my house.'
Trump often refers to his supporters who ramsacked the Capitol by that term.
'Black police officers, black veterans, protecting the Capitol were called another word as you recall,' Biden continued.
The president added that 'extremists close the doors of opportunity.'
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi suffered a “hard landing” on Sunday, Iranian state media reported, without immediately elaborating.
Raisi was traveling in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. State TV said the incident happened near Jolfa, a city on the border with with the nation of Azerbaijan, some 600 kilometers (375 miles) northwest of the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Traveling with Raisi were Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province and other officials, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. One local government official used the word “crash” to describe the incident, but he acknowledged to an Iranian newspaper that he had yet to reach
Camp of the Dumbbells

In 1975 a Frenchman, Jean Raspail, wrote a fictional account of how western civilization was destroyed by unrestricted immigration from the Third World. His work, The Camp of the Saints, has been out of print for some time, but it again became popular in 2011 and Amazon now is offering it on Kindle and you can read it free online. I urge you to do so, because it is probably the most prescient novel you will ever read.
Every day on X (formerly Twitter) I read accounts from around the world of the increased crime,
Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was pictured moments before the helicopter crash near the border with Azerbaijan which put his ‘life at risk’.
He was seen staring out of the window of the aircraft, which was traveling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, around 375 miles northwest of Tehran when it crashed.
There have been conflicting reports among Iranian state media about whether the helicopter has been found following a frantic search mission.
The video player is currently playing an ad. You can skip the ad in 5 sec with a mouse or keyboard
The president is still missing hours after the crash and there is no confirmation they are close to finding Raisi.
This is not normal.
The anti-Israel uprisings at colleges across the country have featured violence (from both sides), vandalism, unlawful occupations known as “encampments,” and many other acts that go well beyond free speech. And now, at the University of Michigan, this radical protest movement just crossed the line into dangerous new territory.
This week, agitators reportedly showed up at the homes of University of Michigan Board of Regents members in the middle of the night, invading their private property. They chanted on their lawns and brought with them fake corpses, faux bloodied sheets, and lists of demands, including, bizarrely, completely unrelated desires such as “defunding the police.”
On Thursday, as we reported there was a wild exchange between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said in the past he's compared the House to "The Jerry Springer Show." Then in reference to the wild moments on Thursday, he said he would apologize to the show. That caused AOC to flip out and chastise him, saying that she was standing up for women, and somehow, MTG talking about Crockett's eyelashes was racist and misogynist. Crockett then tried to make money off of what she said about MTG,

Hell froze over when Bill Maher defended the likes of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker on his show Friday. The NFL player recently delivered a controversial commencement address at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, which sent the Left into meltdown mode. On one hand, there were some parts that many could view as anachronistic about the speech. Then again, Butker is a devout Catholic who delivered an address that aligned with those values. You can disagree without going crazy. And if Maher, an outspoken atheist and critic of organized religion, can shrug this off, so can everyone else.

The apparent crash of a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and other officials is likely to reverberate across the Middle East.
That’s because Iran has spent decades supporting armed groups in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and the Palestinian territories that allow it to project power and potentially deter attacks from the United States or Israel, the sworn enemies of its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Democratic Maryland governor Wes Moore signed a bill establishing the first statewide gun violence prevention center earlier this week.
The project, which is called the Center for Firearm Violence Prevention and Intervention, will operate within the Maryland Department of Health. Its mission is to "consolidate and better coordinate Maryland’s public health approach to preventing gun violence," according to a press release published by the governor's office on Thursday.
"The center will partner with local governments, advocates, and medical professionals engaged in violence intervention programs to build upon the critical gun violence intervention programs that were pioneered in Maryland

The IC is coming after Judge Sam Alito, but not because of his non pretending, general J6 disdain, solid grasp on the fraud that is Joe Biden,(snip), the IC has been coming for Justice Alito since Chief Justice John Robert’s internal court counselor’s lead office staff Sheldon Snook, the husband of Mary McCord, leaked the Alito decision [Dobbs Decision] overturning Roe and sending the abortion issue back to the states.(snip), Judge Alito appears to be holding the line and forcing the IC to come out of the shadows after him. My hunch is he’s just had enough.
