Musk Derangement Syndrome
Posted By: Judy W., 12/23/2024 8:42:01 AM
Move over, Trump Derangement Syndrome! It is time to make room for the latest pathology: Musk Derangement Syndrome. The hysteria has been building for some time. It wasn’t so long ago that Elon Musk enjoyed enviable street cred among the brotherhood of snotty, self-congratulating elites. A green energy guru, he made the hearts of the Sierra Club Sultans go pit-a-pat with his talk of “sustainable transport” and solar roofs. Then Musk made several missteps. The first was buying Twitter and restoring open discourse to a platform that was started to encourage, well, open discourse but had become a headquarters of government surveillance and censorship during the first Trump administration.

Move over, Trump Derangement Syndrome! It is time to make room for the latest pathology: Musk Derangement Syndrome.
The hysteria has been building for some time. It wasn’t so long ago that Elon Musk enjoyed enviable street cred among the brotherhood of snotty, self-congratulating elites.

Why Didn't They Steal It?

They did. Eric Hovde? Kari Lake? Mike Rogers? Sam Brown? 12 House Seats. Thousands of state, county, states and county attorneys, school board seats
But why not the whole show? Simple. The bankers wanted Trump.It was touch and go, their decision, hanging on to the last minute, until Kamala, the MKUltraed sex-operative puppet was revealed as too broken to run a corner store. They didn’t change fast enough for the U.K., and Kier Starmer is their last, and I think final, PM/WEFer patsy. Nigel Farage is out-polling everyone because Britain is on fire right now and the Conservative Party suicided trying to please everyone. Farmers are once again clogging Westminster.
So it turns out, in a way, that I owe Social Distancing an apology. Since the heady, crazy days of 2020 I’ve been describing social distancing as useless, irrational, tyrannical and stupid.
In fact I’ve used Social Distancing as an example of pure irrational hysteria and of the pernicious effect of State and Media led dishonesty turning the brains of millions of gullible morons into mush.
(Snip) But it turns out that there is one group of people who might have actually benefited from it.
The unvaccinated.

A jury found Daniel Penny innocent of Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous charges related to subduing a homeless man who threatened passengers in a subway car. The exoneration demolished a media narrative that Penny was a white supremacist stalking black men.
AP said, “A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism.”
Penny held the man, Jordan Neely, until authorities could take him into custody. A drug called K2 likely killed him.
AP quoted Andre Zachery as “his father,” a man who apparently was never in the Neely’s life.
Daniel Penny was greeted with shouts of “Guilty!” as he arrived in court Monday morning ahead of closing arguments in his lightning-rod Manhattan manslaughter trial in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely.
Penny, 26, strolled into Manhattan Supreme Court around 10:15 a.m. flanked by his attorneys Thomas Kenniff and Steven Raiser — as a 12-person jury will hear final remarks from prosecutors and the defense before the panel begins deliberations.
A group of a dozen protesters chanted, “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” as the Marine veteran exited a black SUV outside the 100 Centre St. courthouse.
“What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!” the demonstrators shouted.

Vaccines have not been this relevant since the beginning of the vaccine era in the late 19th century. Top doctors and scientific minds are discussing this topic extensively. Even now, those atop the world’s most important health institutions are introducing critical reviews on vaccines into the public discourse.
The question is why?
In recent years, specifically in the beginning stage of the toxic injectable product (COVID vaccine) rollout, this topic has regained relevance.
The truth is that during this period everything changed. Distrust in the official narratives went from fringe discussions to legitimate scientific discourse. Esteemed and qualified scientists began questioning the recommendations from public health agencies in regard to
As Gov. Wes Moore prepares to cope with another Donald Trump presidential administration — which could cause upheaval in infrastructure, immigration and federal jobs — he’ll get help from private consultants at the cost of $190,000.
The state government entered into a contract this month with Accenture, an international management and technology consulting firm.
Accenture will research Trump’s proposed agenda and how it will affect the state’s priorities and programs, according to a two-page purchasing agreement between the state and the firm.
Accenture will conduct “risk management and scenario planning” that will help the state prioritize its efforts and determine potential legal challenges against the administration.
Kids Need Freedom

I often report on fake "crises" pushed by media.
Here's one that may be real:
Kids are anxious.
In my new video, Lenore Skenazy, founder of the non-profit Let Grow, says it's because today's parents rarely allow their kids to experience the joys of independence.
Skenazy once let her 9-year-old ride the New York City subway on his own. For that, the media labeled her "America's worst mom." (Snip)
But in real life, what Skenazy allowed isn't so risky. Her son told me, "I know how to get around." Nothing bad happened to him, and he gained the confidence that comes with taking care of yourself.
The Best Blood, the Worst Wars

Remembrance Day/Armistice Day/Veterans Day comes news of the death of John Nott, British Defence Secretary during the Falklands War. This was his finest moment, as Mrs Thatcher's very straight man for the announcement of the first victory of that conflict (Snip)Likewise the blood spilled in the endless unwon wars of the twenty-first century was "the best blood". But there was no "negotiation", just wholesale surrender and abandonment that left the Taliban with more territory than they controlled on September 11th 2001 and bequeathed them one of the most advanced and sophisticated armouries on the planet. It would be difficult to conceive a more humiliating and dishonourable end to a war.
Republicans learned to ballot harvest

After the steal, I said learn to ballot harvest.
Republicans did.
They did their ballot harvesting legally and in front of the entire world. There were no midnight dumps of ballots from California into unattended ballot boxes. Vote tabulations did not suddenly change in the wee hours of the morning. Republicans read the rules, learned the rules and applied the rules in new ways.
Trump urged voters to vote early — to bank their votes as they say. Republican voters did. According to the New York Times, in 9 states more than half the ballots cast were cast before Election Day either by mail or in-person.
In a stunning video brought to public attention by National Review, Brian Lozenski, a leading authority on critical race theory who is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s most important education adviser, calls explicitly for the “overthrow” of America.
(Snip)
Critical race theory, the ideology injected by the woke Left into schools across the country, holds that America is “systemically racist,” that racism is in our DNA. The implications of this belief are clear enough to anyone interested in reasoning them out.
Lozenski isn’t a marginal figure; he is a nationally known activist and academic and the foremost authority on “ethnic studies” in Minnesota.
Is the Age of the Big Lie Over?

"They forced us to lie about everything,” said Tucker Carlson in his speech at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night. The primary reason he supports Donald Trump, Carlson continued, is because Trump “liberated” the American people, liberated us “from the obligation to tell lies.”
I can relate to that. I owe my career as an author -- 15 nonfiction books and several documentaries -- to the legacy media’s unwillingness to tell the truth. (Snip) Citizen journalists take up the slack -- in my case, TWA Flight 800, the death of Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, the authorship of Dreams from My Father, and the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt among

Christianity today is “paganism” and Christians are “pagans” and “not believers,” according to Florida Imam Abu Usama At-Thahabi, who urged Muslims to reject Western cultural influences and warned them against wishing others a “merry Christmas” or even “happy holidays.”
In his Friday, December 20, sermon at the Masjid As-Sunnah mosque and Islamic center serving the Orlando, Florida, area, the American-born Abu Usama delivered a scathing critique of Christianity, declaring it polluted with pagan practices, while urging Muslims to remain steadfast in their identity.

Biden for controversial commutations:
‘Death penalty is racist’ 22 replies
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) commended President Biden Monday for commuting the sentences of 37 federal inmates on death row, arguing that capital punishment is “racist.”
“There is no action more powerful or righteous than sparing someone’s life, and today President Biden is doing just that,” the member of the far-left “Squad” of liberal lawmakers said in a statement.
Pressley, 50, described the 82-year-old commander in chief’s decision to spare dozens of convicted murderers and rapists from death as a “historic and groundbreaking act of compassion that will save lives, address the deep racial disparities in our criminal legal system, and send a powerful message about redemption, decency, and humanity.”
A gay Georgia couple convicted of sickening sexually abuse of their two adopted sons will spend the rest of the lives behind bars.
William and Zachary Zulock, 34 and 36, were each sentenced last week to 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole, the Walton County District Attorney’s office announced.
“These two Defendants truly created a house of horrors and put their extremely dark desires above everything and everyone else,” said District Attorney Randy McGinley, according to WSB-TV.
Some fans were shocked upon seeing the unhinged, anti-Trump diatribe delivered by Star Wars star Mark Hamill who went into a spittle-specked rage over Trump while defiantly claiming he does not care how many fans he upsets with his hate for the President-elect.
Hamill cemented himself into pop culture fame with his role as Like Skywalker in Star Wars and later as the voice of Batman’s The Joker in a series of hit animated movies. But in his interview on a recent episode of the Politickin Podcast hosted by extremist Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom, Hamill seemed more like a crazed Joker than a serene
When the London Times published a late November report claiming that Donald Trump plans to “kick transgender troops out of the military,” leftist groups and media outlets clamored against the idea, warning that an estimated 15,000 transgender troops would be impacted. There’s no evidence this figure is even close to accurate.
That startlingly high figure of 15,000 trans-identifying troops has been pushed, without sourcing, by major news outlets including the London Times, Military.com, and Newsweek. Rachel Branaman, a spokeswoman for the pro-LGBTQ Modern Military Association of America, used the number to suggest that any future Trump administration action to remove these troops would imperil the country’s war-fighting ability
Jon Michael Raasch at the Daily Mail just reported that the U.S. Marshals Service “quietly dropped” a two-year, fifteen-million-dollar deal to protect Anthony Fauci, all covered by the U.S. taxpayers of course.
My initial thought? It’s about darn time, and I want to be reimbursed NOW. (I myself had no idea that on top of his outrageous “highest-ever” federal pension, he was receiving private security on my dime.) Per Raasch:
Dr. Fauci, who has an estimated $11 million net worth, was constantly surrounded by U.S. Marshals at the time whether he was at home or going to TV studios to film interviews.

Then there was Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, the animal charged with lighting the match that set the innocent subway rider on fire — thus igniting a hellscape that feels like a metaphor for New York City’s decaying underground.
The footage itself is a dystopian horror show:
Recently, I was asked what I thought was the seminal event in the first quarter of the 21st Century. The past twenty-five years, beginning in January of 2000, have been fraught with wars, terrorism, religious persecution, natural disasters, political intrigue, and financial instability. Yet nothing compares to the impact, both short and long-term, of the global elites’ malevolent exploitation of the COVID-19 pandemic to permanently embed an authoritarian international world order.
The politically motivated and unprecedented overreaction to a virus with a 99.5% survival rate was launched in March 2020, unleashing what can best be described as a once-in-a-century fiasco.
‘Twas the night before Christmas and…you know the drill. Since it is Christmas tomorrow and we are only three weeks away from booting Joe Biden and the Democrats out of power, it’s time to get the professional cleaners to come out and remove the stench of what they’ve done over the last four years. The budget and the country need a deep, deep cleaning to remove what it is they’ve done, then we need to resolve to never allow it to happen again.Joe Biden’s legacy is disgraceful. May his last memory be one of realizing the American people rejected him and what he’d done, overwhelmingly favoring his opponent
Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday that he and his deputies could have blocked more migrants at the southern border.
“We would have taken executive action more rapidly,” if he had known in 2020 [emphasis added] that the Republicans would reject his January 2024 border bill, Mayorkas told CBS News on December 22.
“This was not incompetence,” countered Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration reform.
‘This was a deliberate plan to remake the country through immigration … [and] they were trying to create a [political] situation where they thought they could force the Republicans to capitulate and basically codify open borders,” said Mehlman.
Disney’s recent decision to pull a transgender storyline from one of its upcoming movies appears to be its latest attempt to avoid generating political controversy after the company became the center of a debate over “wokeism” last year.
The company, run by Bob Iger, has found itself in the midst of several “culture wars” over the last few years after pledging to “further strengthen our commitment to diversity and inclusion everywhere” in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020. Disney chose to make its theme parks more inclusive, such as adopting more gender-neutral greetings, and has made a conscious effort to include more diverse characters, for example, introducing its first
An illegal alien accused of causing the crash that killed 12-year-old Travis Wolfe in Hazelwood, Missouri, last year is now out of jail without paying any bail.
Endrina Bracho, an illegal alien from Venezuela, was charged in March with one count of first-degree involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of child endangerment, and one count of driving without a license after allegedly causing a December 2023 crash that left Wolfe dead and his parents, Timothy and Stephanie Wolfe, injured.
