Simon & Schuster sucks

WHY I"M INDY: Simon & Schuster writes. “Now free from the constraints of running, Hillary takes you inside the intense personal experience of becoming the first woman nominated for president by a major party in an election marked by rage, sexism, exhilarating highs and infuriating lows, stranger-than-fiction twists, Russian interference, and an opponent who broke all the rules." A publishing house wrote that horrible, run on, cliche filled sentence.

Now remember, S&S is one of the big five publishers. They are the big cheese, the head honcho, numero uno, el jeffe grande, the big enchilada....And the cancelled their 10 million dollar book deal with Saint Milo the Fabulous.

Milo moved a hundred thousand books on the first day. At ten bucks a pop he took home $700, 000, American.

Instead S&S has a book deal with Hillary!

I guess it will do well, if no other reason then out of morbid fascination. How bad could it be? That is the question.

If S&S is writing sentences like the above, can they really fix Hillary!'s work, whatever she turns in?

The Great Unraveling

Well, we're three weeks into the Trump Administration and the other side is in complete freak out mode. Right now we have a Civil Cold War, I think John Derbyshire coined the phrase, with flair ups of violence. These of course happened at President Trump's inauguration, at the Milo-Berkeley event, at Gavin McInnes' NYU talk and several other places. Incidents of violence against Trump supporters are legion, just look it up on Youtube.

I myself have been walking around in a Red MAGA hat for a couple of months now, but being 6 feet and displacing about 250 lbs generally immunizes one from attacks by skinny jeans wearing anarcho-fan boys.

Far more troubling is the unraveling or sorting of the culture. Macys and Sears dumb Invanka Trump's clothing line. Kellogg's stops advertising on Breitbart. Audi runs its now infamous Super Bowl ad. All these moves are going to or have cost these companies business, yet they don't seem to care. This analysis of the Audi ad is brilliant and explains why the ad is so troubling.

For the most part we on the right have been enduring these assaults. That said action by various groups has and is being taken behind the scenes. One thinks of the undercover exposes of James O'keefe, and the Oath Keepers. Gavin McInnes has thrown a few punches. One wonders how much longer.

Here is Berkeley Antifa thug Yvette Felarca assaulting a Trump supporter:

Bitch, I'll fuck you up.

But that's the subject of another post.

Alt Right Dawn

Regular readers know I'm an unapologetic neocon . I stand by everything.

It's been great watching the likes of Milo, Vox Day, Mike Cernovich et all build this alt-right empire, succeed and win. I've followed Milo for a while now and during the last few months gotten into Vox Day and company.

That company is single-handedly building the infrastructure with which to battle the left. I'm talking here about things like Gab and Infogalactic. I'n on Gab, if anyone is interested and do a couple posts a day. Of course these mostly direct people to this blog.

It's great fun and the end result has been President Trump.

A word of caution though. A decade ago, going on a decade and half now, people like me who jumped on blogisphere with both feet. We celebrated our victory in 2004 (anyone doubting Bush's victory was good for all man kind should consider Jean Francois Kerry's speech last week). Later we went out and bought Hugh Hewitt's Blog and Glenn Reynolds Army of Davids.

Well, we resisted on our laurels and the left blew right past us. For a few months they were on the defensive and we thought we'd cracked the code. It ended with Katrina and for the decade the right, nice respectable Republicans like me were on the defenses.

The left - the Social Justice Warriors - they're back at it. There will be a response to their defeat. I don't know what it is. But if what the did to W after Katrina is any indicator, well....

Pre-Debate Thoughts on Mr. Trump's Locker Room and the Culture War

The right, by which I mean the Alt-Right is winning the culture war.

Witness:

Twitter's stock is tanking.
The NFL's ratings are tanking (this is incredible).
Target is shelling out $20 million for new bathrooms.

To that end, let's look at this latest Trump imbroglio.

Listen, ladies. We all talk like that, you get that right? Your beloved husband has, over drinks with his buddies, said all kinds of lewd, risque things. Only beta-male nancies say they haven't and they're lying.

Now, back in the 90's the right (myself included)  used to stammer and stutter in these arguments about Bill, and those same culprits are not jumping ship on Mr. Trump. Condi Rice has condemned him, oh my! Great work on Russia there, Condi. Jeb! Bush is appalled. The same people who lost in '96, '08, and '12 are losing now.

It took the Alt-Right, Milo and Vox and Breitbart and Vdare and Kathy Shaidle to say the obvious. That is:

Juanita Broderick
Kathleen Wiley
Paula Johns
Monica Lewinsky

Etc. etc.

I won't watch the debate. I need a drink or five before these things and my gout just won't allow it.

I hear Mr. Trump is going on the offensive. well good.
