Michael Anton on “Celebration Parallax”
Here: More tellingly, this charge is an example of something I call the “celebration parallax,” which is explained here. In brief, the celebration parallax holds that the same fact pattern is either true and glorious or false and scurrilous depending on who states it and, crucially, the perceived intent of the speaker. So if someone says…

Past-Directed Gaslighting
An egregious example of present-directed gaslighting of the American people by the regime and the regime media is their dismissal of the numerous videos depicting Joe Biden's physical decrepitude as 'cheap/deep fakes.' What then are we to call the lie being currently spread by the regime and its shills that Kamala Harris was never the…

The Charlottesville Lie
The only sure way to stop a leftist from lying would be by stopping him from talking. The Biden administration is one of the most, or the most, mendacious in our history. Copycat that he is, Biden saw the Clintons and Obama get away with it and resolved to go them one better. A brazen…

Political Perception, Advocacy, and Reality
Hans Meyerson: There are, I think, three chief obstacles that stand between Biden and re-election: the public’s perception of the economy, the public’s perception of immigration, and Biden’s own weaknesses as an advocate for his policies and his presidency. [Emphases added.] This is the sort of garbage one expects from a delusional leftist who thinks…

DIE: ‘Equity’ Can Get You Killed
Here: America’s top medical schools, worried [that] they have too few minority students, are doing something about it. They are lowering academic standards for admission and trying to hide the evidence.

Tulsi Gabbard Exposes George Santos
Would that Tulsi would and could lay bare the brazen bullshit of every single swamp critter in the District of Columbia from the life-long liar Joey B. on down and not leaving out Alejandro Mayorkas, 'Director of Homeland Security' — how is that for an Orwellian title! — and Elizabeth 'Fauxcahontas' Warren, and do it…

The Orwellian Abuse of Approbatives: ‘Democracy’
An approbative word or phrase is one the conventional use of which indicates an approving or appreciative attitude on the part of the speaker or writer. The opposite is a pejorative. 'Democracy' and 'racism' as currently used in the USA and elsewhere in the Anglosphere are examples of the former and the latter respectively. If…

Asking Questions about Ukraine Makes You Pro-Putin? Why Do They Lie?
Here: If you say out loud that you think there is something strange about a campaign involving Democrats and Republicans, the media, Big Tech, corporate giants, and US intelligence services to promote one side in a foreign war that doesn’t obviously touch on the daily concerns of most Americans, you’re pro-Putin. That accusation has haunted the…

Real and Merely Apparent Incoherence on the Left: Four Examples
1) Leftists, supposedly 'for women,' champion the right of biological males to compete in female sporting events. The incoherence here is real and rooted in the conflict between opposing leftist commitments. On the one hand, leftists champion the downtrodden, the oppressed, and the marginalized, even when the latter bear the lion's share of the responsibility…
