49. <blockquote><p>After last night&#8217;s strikes on Iran, Democrat politicians reached screeching levels of hypocrisy over Donald Trump&#8217;s decision to act rather than wait for an Iranian nuclear weapon deployment. Chuck Schumer demanded action from Congress, as did Hakeem Jeffries. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led calls for impeachment. Practically every Democrat on Capitol Hill &#8212; with the notable exception of John Fetterman &#8212; rushed to promote their &#8220;authoritarian&#8221; narrative about Trump.</p>
50. <p>All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn&#8217;t get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton&#8217;s chortling over the fall of Moammar Qaddafi and the role she and Barack Obama played in it? &#8220;We came, we saw, he died,&#8221; she raved to Leslie Stahl after a joint US-EU bombing campaign decapitated Qaddafi&#8217;s regime, and left a failed state in its wake:</p></blockquote>
51. <p><iframe title="We came, we saw, he died - Hillary Clinton on Gaddafi" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QSOtDWebEUM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
52. <blockquote><p>In March 2011, Obama ordered a series of military strikes on regime targets in Libya, not because of a clear and present danger to US security or assets, but because of a &#8220;responsibility to protect&#8221; doctrine promoted by Samantha Power. The Qaddafi regime was brutally suppressing dissent at the time, as Qaddafi had done for decades, but Qaddafi had also cooperated with the West on nuclear non-proliferation. Nevertheless, Obama and the Left wanted Qaddafi gone, and without going to Congress conducted military attacks with the express purpose of collapsing his regime in favor of the rebels in and around Benghazi &#8212; a bitter irony, in the end.</p>
53. <p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304447804576414193387907836">Obama never even bothered to formally report the action to Congress</a>, as required under the War Powers Act, with the lame excuse that he ordered the strikes to support the action led by NATO. At the time, Harold Koh argued that the War Powers Act didn&#8217;t apply because of the limited nature of the conflict &#8212; which had been going on for three months at that point &#8212; and the administration&#8217;s interpretation of the word &#8220;hostilities&#8221; in the act. As long as US ground troops weren&#8217;t involved, Koh argued, the president had full authority and no responsibility to notify Congress at all, Koh argued.</p></blockquote>

61. <p>Flashback: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1981/01/24/world/former-hostage-says-some-of-the-52-would-not-view-tapes-of-takeover.html">The N<em>ew York Times, </em>January 24<sup>th</sup>, 1981</a>:</p>
62. <blockquote><p>Bruce W. German, one of the freed hostages, said today that some of his colleagues were having more problems than others in adjusting. &#8221;They showed us videotapes of the embassy takeover,&#8221; he said, &#8221;and some of the group simply would not look at them.&#8221;</p>
63. <p>Mr. German, from Rockville, Md., was the budget officer at the United States Embassy in Teheran. He described what it was like to be in the embassy on Sunday, Nov. 4, 1979, when the Iranian militants broke in.</p>
64. <p>&#8221;I was working in the basement of one of the buildings in the compound,&#8221; he said. &#8221;Sunday is just another working day in the Islamic world. We could hear the crowd yelling and cheering. Then someone came in and told us we&#8217;d better move upstairs to a safer location. We barricaded ourselves in but it didn&#8217;t make any difference. We had to let them in or they would have torn the whole place down. That first day was the closest I&#8217;ve ever come to total terror.&#8221;</p>
65. <p>Asked if he considered resisting or escaping, Mr. German replied, &#8221;When there is a gun being cocked in your ear, you don&#8217;t have many options.&#8221;</p>
66. <p><strong>Would Return &#8216;in a B-52&#8217;</strong></p>
67. <p>Mr. German, 44 years old, said he believed that the hostage crisis could make life difficult for other diplomats. &#8221;There is just no way you can make an embassy safe from half a million angry people,&#8221; he said. Mr. German added that he would never take a foreign post where new security measures, now being planned, were not in effect. As for Iran, he said he would return there &#8211; &#8221;only in a B-52.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
68. <p>Today of course, the current iteration of the <em><a href="https://x.com/bdomenech/status/1936773408240672993">New York Times</a></em> is in full “<a href="https://www.johnderbyshire.com/Opinions/Culture/betterdeadthanrude.html">better dead than rude</a>” mode:</p>

448. <p>We have an awful lot of illegal aliens in the country, plenty of whom could be Iranian sleeper agents and some of whom certainly are.  Are there enough to do anything significant?  Who knows?  Is there anyone left in the Iranian leadership capable of ordering something like that?  Possibly not.</p>
449. <p>Will the Chinese, as in Kurt&#8217;s novel, cooperate with the Iranians?  Doubtful.  We have a stranglehold on Iranian oil now, and Iran is their biggest oil supplier.</p>
450. <p>But if you sometimes carry a gun, the next couple of weeks should be among those times.</p>

649. <p>Feras Hamdan, a 36-year-old Ohio doctor, turned himself in with counsel on Friday and was arrested and charged after allegedly forcing Republican Representative Max Miller off the road in a road rage incident.</p>
650. <p>According to Rocky River, Ohio, police, the incident occurred on June 15 when Hamdan allegedly tailgated Miller&#8217;s vehicle, swerved erratically, and ultimately veered into his lane, causing the congressman to drive off the road to avoid a collision.</p>
651. <p>Police said Miller&#8217;s wife and 2-year-old son were also in the car at the time of the incident in the suburb of Cleveland. . . .</p>
652. <p>While authorities have not disclosed Hamdan&#8217;s alleged motive in detail, law enforcement indicated that his actions appeared intentional and targeted, prompting further legal scrutiny and public concern.</BLOCKQUOTE></p>

719. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DISPATCHES FROM ABC NEWS: <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/19/opinion/whoopi-goldberg-fails-to-see-the-irony-of-her-oppression-narrative/">Wealthy Whoopi Goldberg fails to see the irony of her ‘oppression’ narrative – or that the US is NOTHING like Iran</a>.</p>
720. <blockquote><p>One of the many problems with weaving a victim narrative is that it transports you into an ideological oblivion, making you nearly ­incapable of recognizing how self-unaware you sound to normal people.</p>
721. <p>Watching millionaires on “The View” trash a nation that has given them lives of abundance is absolutely nauseating to ­witness — and, to the average American, comes across as ­incredibly ungrateful.</p>
722. <p>Like Goldberg, many wealthy black people, lacking any ongoing sense of personal struggle, feel guilty for their success.</p>
723. <p>Yet they believe being black in America is synonymous with strife — and through race association, they can live the poor black experience vicariously, safe inside their gated communities and ­penthouses.</p>
724. <p>Goldberg is one I would classify as a “verbal victim,” because she has in fact overcome a multitude of personal and social obstacles to achieve worldwide fame and ­fortune.</p>
725. <p>Yet she pathetically holds on to her oppression narratives because they carry no negative ramifications in her luxurious world, only applause from victim-enabling white leftists like Joy Behar.</p>
726. <p>Goldberg could instead hold up her life as an example of an American success story — but then she’d have no struggle to complain about.</p></blockquote>
727. <p>After being fired by ABC News earlier this month, <a href="https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2025/06/17/terry-moran-doubles-down-screw-objectivity-my-hate-eater-tweet-was">Terry Moran claimed</a>:</p>
728. <blockquote><p>&#8220;I guess I&#8217;m a Hubert Humphrey Democrat,&#8221; he said, &#8220;I&#8217;m old enough to remember him. And you know, get practical things done that people need in a decent way, and stand up for what&#8217;s right.&#8221; Humphrey was a liberal Democrat pushing LBJ&#8217;s massive &#8220;Great Society,&#8221; not a centrist. It&#8217;s like saying I&#8217;m a centrist who&#8217;s a Ted Kennedy Democrat or a Jimmy Carter Democrat. But he suggested that because [Trump aide Stephen] Miller &#8220;degrades&#8221; the civil discourse, he&#8217;s &#8220;dangerous.&#8221;</p>
729. <p>[Tim Miller of the never-Trump <em>Bullwark]</em> pointed out that Republicans might say, aha, he&#8217;s outed himself as a Democrat. The mask is off. Then Moran did the screw-objectivity thing.</p>
730. <p>&#8220;My own feeling is that you don&#8217;t sacrifice your citizenship as a journalist. And your job is not to be objective. There is no Mount Olympus of objectivity where a Mandarin class of wise people have no feelings about their society. We&#8217;re all in this together. What you have to be is fair and accurate.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
731. <p>Oh. Well if that&#8217;s the case: <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2025/06/19/column-abc-news-needs-apply-terry-moran-standard-view">ABC News Needs to Apply the Terry Moran Standard to <em>The View</em></a><em>. </em></p>
732. <p>Incidentally, if Moran can claim in 2025 that he &#8220;guesses&#8221; that he&#8217;s &#8220;a Hubert Humphrey Democrat,&#8221; how would Whoopi&#8217;s ideology be defined? Eve Barlow attempted just such a thing three years ago when the ABC News employee claimed on air that “the Holocaust isn’t about race:”  <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/01/whoopi-goldbergs-ignorance-about-the-holocaust-is-what-happens-when-intersectionality-rots-peoples-brains/">Whoopi Goldberg’s Ignorance About The Holocaust Is What Happens When Intersectionality Rots People’s Brains</a>.</p>
733. <p>UPDATE: <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/bill-maher-says-democrats-need-do-something-about-the-view-after-whoopi-goldbergs-iran-comments">Bill Maher says Democrats need to &#8216;do something&#8217; about <em>The View</em> after Whoopi Goldberg&#8217;s Iran comments</a>.</p>

765. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ACE OF SPADES: <a href="https://ace.mu.nu/archives/415317.php">The <em>New York Times</em> is Boohoo Whinin&#8217; and Cryin&#8217; That Unrealistic Extremists in the ACLU Brought the Tennessee Trans Case to the Supreme Court and Lost Bigly</a>.</p>
766. <blockquote><p>The article is trying to be nice to their trans allies, but the general thrust is that these people are so isolated in their progressive trans bubbles that <a href="https://archive.is/a31TF">they have no idea of what the rest of the country thinks about their extremist crusade to sexually mutilate children.</a></p>
767. <p>It&#8217;s a long, long, super-long article. I&#8217;ll just quote the parts where the NY Times hints that maybe the trans movement is too strident and delusionary for its own good.</p>
768. <p>Note the article talks a lot about the transgender lawyer who argued the case for the ACLU. &#8220;Chase Strangio&#8221; &#8212; super-realistic name there, &#8220;Chase,&#8221; totally sounds like your parents gave you that name and totally not like you just went through YA Novels looking for &#8220;kewl&#8221; teenager names &#8212; is actually a woman, though she dresses like a man and really thinks she&#8217;s passing.</p>
769. <p>I&#8217;ll try to change the incorrect pronouns he/him/his to she/her/hers, but if I miss any, well, I tried.</p>
770. <p>If this is too long for you: The main point that true-blue Super Liberal Propagandist Nicholas Confessore is making is that the trans movement is extremist and refuses to see any nuance on any issue and is determined to just ride roughshod over all those who question the Strange New World they&#8217;re trying to will into being.</p>
771. <p>They went too far in going after the kids like they&#8217;re shrimp cocktail at a wedding reception, and by doing so, they have put their own movement and the entire Democrat-Media Party in a precarious place they may not be able to get out of.</p></blockquote>
772. <p>Including <a href="https://archive.is/yZemj">this moment</a> in the <em>Times&#8217;</em> article:</p>
773. <div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-27">
774. <div class="css-53u6y8">
775. <blockquote>
776. <p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In fending off attacks on gender-affirming care, however, WPATH had itself allowed politics to dictate some of its recommendations. [Rachel] Levine, the Biden Health and Human Services Department official, had been instrumental in WPATH’s mysterious last-minute deletion of the age minimums in SOC-8, documents uncovered by Alabama showed.</p>
777. </blockquote>
778. </div>
779. </div>
780. <div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-28">
781. <div class="css-53u6y8">
782. <blockquote>
783. <p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">After seeing an early copy of SOC-8, Levine and her staff began pressuring WPATH to drop the new age minimums, arguing that “specific listings of ages, under 18, will result in devastating legislation for trans care,” as the group’s president relayed to colleagues in July 2022. That September, the American Academy of Pediatrics — which had also been provided a preview — followed suit, threatening to publicly oppose SOC-8 if the age minimums were not deleted.</p>
784. <p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The demands set off a furious debate within WPATH. Conservative politicians might attack WPATH for recommending medical intervention at younger ages than before. But Bowers, the group’s president-elect, pointed out that without specific age requirements, “insurers may not grant authorization” for pediatric care. Others worried about capitulating to political pressures in what WPATH intended to present as an “evidence-based” document.</p>
785. <p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Just as WPATH’s internal emails began trickling into public view, the Supreme Court announced that it would hear Skrmetti. Not long after, Levine’s requests to WPATH were <a class="css-yywogo" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/health/transgender-minors-surgeries.html?searchResultPosition=2">reported by The Times</a>. White House officials were blindsided, several told me. Though Levine would later tell Biden aides that she had been trying to protect the president, the West Wing saw it differently: Her request could suggest that the administration thought there should be no minimum ages at all. “Everyone was like, holy cow — did Rachel Levine really go out and lobby for 9-year-olds to get surgery?” one former Biden aide told me. (Levine’s spokesman says she based “all policy recommendations on the best available science.”)</p>
786. </blockquote>
787. <p>Hey remember when Biden was sold to the American public as the safe, boring, middle-of-the-road moderate alternative to the out of control Bad Orange Man during the 2020 election? Good times, good times.</p>

900. <p>And since we didn&#8217;t mention it yesterday, in the interest of being a full-service news aggregation Weblog, we must now warn more sensitive readers in advance that what is heard cannot be unheard. <a href="https://redstate.com/rusty-weiss/2025/06/20/watch-hank-guam-might-capsize-johnson-releases-anti-trump-song-and-good-lord-make-it-stop-n2190704">Watch: Hank ‘Guam Might Capsize’ Johnson Releases Anti-Trump Song and Good Lord, Make It Stop</a>.</p>
901. <blockquote><p>Representative Hank Johnson (D-GA) &#8211; he of &#8216;Oh noes, Guam might capsize&#8217; fame &#8211; put out an anti-Trump song on social media for reasons known only to him.</p>
902. <p>It&#8217;s genuinely an injustice that his staff didn&#8217;t stop him from releasing it. I mean, tackle the guy out of his chair before he hits the &#8216;post&#8217; button if you have to. Just make sure this never sees the light of day.</p>
903. <p>Johnson uploaded the video to his X account, where he is celebrating June as Black Music Month.</p>
904. <p>&#8220;This year, I decided to come back with another jam session for you all,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Here is my rendition of &#8216;Hey Joe&#8217; by the Godfather of Rock, Jimi Hendrix.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
905. <p>Iowahawk is succinct in response:</p>
906. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
907. <p lang="en" dir="ltr">This video summoned zombie Jimi Hendrix back from the grave, just to light Hank Johnson&#39;s guitar on fire <a href="https://t.co/nogTfjDY6g">pic.twitter.com/nogTfjDY6g</a></p>

909. <p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
910. <p>Barring that, could someone at least give Johnson a decent guitar tuner before he inflicts another video upon us?</p>

945. <blockquote><p>Americans over a certain age are often surprised to see diminutive women patrolling their city’s meanest streets. The policemen of their childhood were tall, commanding figures. Have the cops shrunk? Well, yes. In March 1973, the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration issued an order forbidding any local police department that received federal funds (that is, all of them) to maintain minimum height requirements—the rules disqualified too many women. In 1977, the Supreme Court seconded LEAA by striking down Alabama’s minimum height requirement as a violation of the 1964 act. The federal government lived up to its own principles. In 1971 it waived size and strength requirements for its own police forces. In 1977, New York City acceded to a judicial order and permitted women to apply for fire-fighting jobs. None of the applicants passed the department’s strength test so the judge ordered the strength test made easier until sufficient numbers of women could pass.</p></blockquote>

983. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://default.blog/p/lets-talk-about-chatgpt-induced-spiritual">LET&#8217;S TALK ABOUT CHATGPT-INDUCED SPIRITUAL PSYCHOSIS</a>:</p>
984. <p>Responding to the recent <em>New York Time</em>s article that depicted people such as an accountant becoming convinced via ChatGPT that “he was trapped in a false reality and could escape by disconnecting from this simulated world—eventually believing ChatGPT when it told him he could jump from a building and fly,” Katherine Dee writes, “this always happens with new communication technology:”</p>
985. <blockquote><p>And with similar severity, too!</p>
986. <p>Twenty-five years ago, media scholar Jeffrey Sconce traced this history in his book <em><a href="https://www.dukeupress.edu/haunted-media">Haunted Media</a></em>, showing how we have consistently linked new communication technologies with the paranormal and esoteric. It’s not a random coincidence or sign that we’re in a “uniquely enchanted” age<a href="https://default.blog/p/lets-talk-about-chatgpt-induced-spiritual#footnote-1-165945625">1</a> but rather a predictable cultural response, one we’ve been replaying over and over for hundreds of years.</p></blockquote>
987. <p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Science and Seance: The Telegraph and Spiritualism" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dneoFGdp5wM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
988. <blockquote><p>Spiritualist mediums claimed to receive messages from the afterlife through Morse code. These operators saw themselves as human receivers, bridging the material and astral. The technology that sent messages across continents without physical contact made it easy to imagine messages crossing the veil.</p>
989. <p>Radio seemed to throw every word into what Sconce calls an “<a href="https://dokumen.pub/the-etheric-ocean-doorway-to-other-worlds.html">etheric ocean,</a>” a limitless and invisible sea where messages bobbed about like bottles adrift. By the late 1920s, the big broadcast companies tried to “net” that ocean with fixed frequencies and scheduling. Sconce writes about how fiction reflected this taming of the radio waves. The wistful romances of amateur “DXers”<a href="https://default.blog/p/lets-talk-about-chatgpt-induced-spiritual#footnote-2-165945625">2</a> scanning the dial gave way to sinister tales of mass hypnosis, government mind-control rays, and Martians commandeering the airwaves.</p>
990. <p>Television, again, added another layer, perhaps most iconically portrayed in the 1982 film <em>Poltergeist</em>:</p></blockquote>

1028. <p>The dogmatic scolds who bang on about “cultural appropriation” rarely display much understanding of how culture comes about. Perhaps they imagine that the world would be richer and more pious without Akira Kurosawa’s vivid reworkings of Shakespeare, or his ‘appropriation’ of American band music of the 30s and 40s, and without Kurosawa’s own films inspiring Sergio Leone and George Lucas, etc. The riffs and copying, the to-and-fro, are to a very large extent what culture <em>is</em>.</p></blockquote>

If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:

1. Download the "valid RSS" banner.

2. Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

   <a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A//instapundit.com/feed/"><img src="valid-rss-rogers.png" alt="[Valid RSS]" title="Validate my RSS feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:
