Thursday News Round Up

NJ.com reported that NY enlisted private snow plows to help clear the snow, calling them 'Minutemen'. On FB we remarked, ' Language! Please try to avoid language like “minutemen” this is a radical militia construct. Try “snowhelpers” instead.' Good news here, as most people think we're daft. In fact, the word  'retarded' peppered the replies. 'That's sarcasm, right?' As we're wearing a black suit, white shirt, hammer and sickle tie while standing before the Soviet flag in our FB pic, some people just aren't so sure. 

The war profiteer's daughter was not defenestrated ....from her position in the GOP leadership. No moral or phyric victories A GOP that wants Liz Cheney leading it doesn't want Will.

The Times of Israel has new polling and it shows what an anti-Bibi coalition could look like: 'According to the survey, a coalition of Yesh Atid, New Hope, Yamina, Labor, Yisrael Beytenu, and Blue and White would win 61 seats, giving it a majority in the Knesset. With the left-wing Meretz, it would pick up 66.Netanyahu’s bloc, comprising Likud and the two ultra-Orthodox parties, meanwhile, would win just 44. Even with Yamina, such a coalition would still fall seven seats short of a majority. Leaders of other Zionist parties have not expressed a willingness to sit in a Netanyahu-led coalition.' That is the not-Bibi bloc 61, the Bibi-bloc 41. Who the hell would head up the anti-Bibi bloc is anyone's guess. We shrug. Sure, we like him, but Bibi's gotten a little old. He's been there a long time. Can't you find something else to do, Bibi? Think of the conservatives and evangelical Christians, Bibi could make a killing on the speaking circuit in America. 

Governor Kristi Noem (Total Hottie, North Dakota*) writes: "There are a lot of Americans whose frustration has been building for many years. Republicans have had opportunities to fix our healthcare system, reform immigration, and get our fiscal house in order, among many other things. Republicans have had chances to deliver for the American people. But we haven’t followed through." Problem diagnosed. Is Noem the candidate to take on '47 in 2024? Meh. Most of the rest of the article is conservative boilerplate. 

With the GOP having failed, here's what's next, Dave Portnoy and the rise of the Barstool Conservatives. The article pretty much describes where we are. Meh, do what you want, keep us out and LOL get fucked weirdo:  "What Trump recognized was that there are millions of Americans who do not oppose or even care about abortion or same-sex marriage, much less stem-cell research or any of the other causes that had animated traditional social conservatives. Instead he correctly intuited that the new culture war would be fought over very different (and more nebulous) issues: vague concerns about political correctness and "SJWs," opposition to the popularization of so-called critical race theory, sentimentality about the American flag and the military, the rights of male undergraduates to engage in fornication while intoxicated without fear of the Title IX mafia."

*We don't know which Dakota is which and can't be bothered to look it up. The East Coast Bias is real.
