Is This Really In The Failing NY Times?

The NY Times runs a shocking opinion piece that could have been written by Rush Limbaugh. Baffling:

When Progressives Embrace Hate

By Bari Weiss AUG. 1, 2017

She launches with the Women's March last winter and then re-examines its leadership:

The leaders of the Women’s March, arguably the most prominent feminists in the country, have some chilling ideas and associations. Far from erecting the big tent so many had hoped for, the movement they lead has embraced decidedly illiberal causes and cultivated a radical tenor that seems determined to alienate all but the most woke.

Yes they have and yes they do, as she explains. But why is the Times running this when they could be bashing Trump?

"all but the most woke"??? Seriously? It's like a campus newspaper now.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Sorry, but were the guy my complete kindred spirit, I would happily and enthusiastically vote "aye" when the question of his summary execution came up for using "woke" in any form other than that pertaining to Sleeping Beauty getting a big wet smooch on the smacker.

[Ralph L]

No illiberal causes in the piece? Are they afraid of scaring informing their readers?

[Dave (in MA)]

Bari Weiss is married to the founder of Toilets For People.

Which I suppose they are.

This morning I used one when I woke.

[lyle]

"Now," jimmyk?

[exdemocrat]

T-rex's opening to his presser today: "SECRETARY TILLERSON: Well, good afternoon, all. And if you’re inquiring about the young assistant with me, I decided maybe if I start naming people to office when they’re eight or nine years old they’ll be of age by the time we can get them through the process. (Laughter.)"

[GUS]

Exdem, on the last thread you were talking about Seth Rich and Wikileaks??

Did you mean RUSSIAN-WIKILEAKS??? That's what the CURBSIDE HAG calls them.

[daddy]

"all but the most woke"??? Seriously?

Dennis Prager in Hour 3 today went thru this story with a fine toothed comb of logic. Excellent radio, and he also was struck, as was I about a month ago, by the use of this hip new word "woke."

He particularly enjoyed the illogic behind one of the progressive gals effusive praise of Sharia Law: “You’ll know when you’re living under Shariah law if suddenly all your loans and credit cards become interest-free. Sound nice, doesn’t it?”

Yep, imagine the pennies a woman will save by not having to pay interest when buying the black garbage bag they're going to have to wear in Public every day for the rest of their lives.

And will they have to be black garbage bags or can they be red garbage bags as in that Handmaids Tale that Western Women are apparently terrified of because Western Men want to make them wear red and they won't get interest deductions on their credit cards.

So you tell me, which ones do Progressive women believe are more "woke"?

A)

B)

C)

D)

[exdemocrat]

yes, sorry, Gus, i will report to the re-education center forthwith...

[exdemocrat]

daddy - tough call. what assumptions should be made about each group's ... er, intactment??

[daddy]

Seymour Hersh claims he has a FBI source who told him the FBI has evidence Seth Rich was in contact with Wikileaks and provided them with the DNC emails.

If you fuckin' listen to the fuckin' tape you'll fuckin' find out that fuckin' Seymour fuckin' Hersh is a fuckin' 'yuge fuckin' fan of the fuckin' Eff word---'yuge fuckin' fan! Fuckin' 'yuge!

[daddy]

Ext, I can't figure out why the Nork gals have such lousy tans.

I wonder if fuckin' Seymour fuckin' Hersh has a fuckin' source at the fuckin' FBI who'll explain the fuckin' fuck out of that?

:)

[Tom R]

If you fuckin' listen to the fuckin' tape you'll fuckin' find out that fuckin' Seymour fuckin' Hersh is a fuckin' 'yuge fuckin' fan of the fuckin' Eff word---'yuge fuckin' fan! Fuckin' 'yuge!

Yea he uses the expletive a lot to describe Brennan, Clapper and ADM Rogers (NSA). He obviously doesn't think too highly of any of them.

[rich]

odd Seymour Hersh makes an appearance in the "Russian Lawyer" saga too ... he hosted the movie screening at the Newsuem that she attended concurrent with her meeting with Trump Jr.

>>>Ryan, It's time for the border wall. interesting.

Posted by: henry | August 01, 2017 at 01:37 PM

Raise your hand if you think that Ryan's support for the Wall is based on hearing from some constituents who are starting to see what a foot-dragger he is, and the Wall is the least objectionable thing to his donors.

Raise your hand again if he is counting on Schumer to stop it in the Senate.

I like Miss Marple's cynical take, but I'll tighten down the tin foil for mine ... he is getting wind of what el Chapo is giving up to Justice, and it is spectacular.

Got an email header with 'Paul Ryan' and the wall.

I think he's just trying to raise some $s for the NRCC.

[chedolf]

But why is the Times running this...

Bari Weiss, former Tablet writer, complains that hate-filled progressives spoil the fun for other leftists, and her first example is someone who wrote, "Nothing is creepier than Zionism."

Is it unseemly to notice some folks at the Times might not enjoy getting shouldered out of a movement they disproportionately helped to create?

[daddy]

This FOX News story discusses some fairly frightening consequences of a policy implemented in 2009 to recruit foreigners into our Military Services under the promise of giving them expedited US citizenship: Pentagon investigators find ‘security risks’ in government's immigrant recruitment program, ‘infiltration’ feared

Defense Department investigators have discovered “potential security risks” in a Pentagon program that has enrolled more than 10,000 foreign-born individuals into the U.S. armed forces since 2009, ...with sources on Capitol Hill and at the Pentagon expressing alarm over “foreign infiltration” and enrollees now unaccounted for.

Obviously Obama was the Commander In Chief in 2009.

“The program has been replete with problems, to include foreign infiltration – so much so that the Department of Defense is seeking to suspend the program due to those concerns..."

---problems included a vetting backlog that led to enrollment of many soldiers prior to completion of their background checks...

---some of the countries of origin for MAVNI enrollees are “of concern..."

I served on Active Duty with a Canadian citizen , who joined US Forces during Viet Nam days, and I served with multiple Philippine Nationals who have historically served in the US Navy as a consequence of our relations with the Philippines since 1898, but this Obama era policy appears to have been one designed to expand our recruiting goals to countries that common sense would tell us to avoid like the plague. Once again it appears that when you ask the question of an Obama Policy, "Who Benefits?" the answer is rarely if ever, "Americans."

[David, Internet Deplorable]

Come on, daddy! Can you think of a better place to get interpreters and intelligence analysts? Who better to tell us the mind of a terrorist from ISIS if not a terrorist from ISIS? Why, you are getting the info right from the horse's mouth! So, perhaps one or two of them are a bit unreliable. A small price to pay.

[daddy]

Miss Marple,

Don Surber is also paying attention to Thomas Wictor's tweets: The news the media buries

[Davod]

"Yes they have and yes they do, as he explains. But why is the Times running this when they could be bashing Trump?"

Quite simple really. The ratbags are getting ready for the "big Push" in military terms. Publishing a slightly left negative article is designed to suggest neutrality for when the massive anti-Trump or right onslaught begins.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Good morning!

Glad to see Surber is reading Wictor, daddy. I find he understands Trump as much as anyone.

One of the things he pointed out a while ago is that Trump sent Jared Kushner over to the Middle East prior to his trip which made a big impression, because Kushner is a relative and in those countries it was seen as a sign of great respect. The other thing that he said is that our foreign policy no longer is based on dictating policy but rather asking "How can we help?"

That was the reason for that huge ceremonial welcome in Riyadh.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/01/us/politics/trump-affirmative-action-universities.html

" The Trump administration is preparing to redirect resources of the Justice Department’s civil rights division toward investigating and suing universities over affirmative action admissions policies deemed to discriminate against white applicants, according to a document obtained by The New York Times."

Dollars to doughnuts it was leaked by an Obama appointee in the Civil Rights division.

Tonto,

What an interesting and well-written article about something I had never heard about!

If only the Failing New York Times would stay away from their political vendetta on President Trump, they would be a much better paper.

[Buckeye]

Tonto

I spent a lot of time in Paris and some in NYC.

In both cases, locals introduced me to the "customs", and coffee with a buttered roll for breakfast was one.

So was espresso and a croissant.

The croissants were so good, I learned to time the walk from the hotel to the office to coincide with them coming out of the oven:)

[Old Lurker]

WaPo headlines the "no tax cuts, no way" meme today as if we needed to be reminded.

Wall? What wall? You might get some cash to file the plans away but too soon to be sure even about that.

Appropriation Bills produced in Regular Order? "JK,JK" as the kids say.

Although the fatso article seems pretty well thought through, I personally don't like the "people in Cuba live longer than us" line of attack.

I mostly agree with your pessimism, with friends like Ryan and the Turtle, who needs enemies? Not that he doesn't have plenty already.

But he has a weapon of his own, that they can't match. I expect Trump to ratchet up the rallies and other public events.

He tells his "army" they need to march on DC, the critters are going to learn the hard way who has more stroke.

[anonamom]

I shall never ever catch up, but want to give buckeye a great big HURRAY!
Proof you can be decently healthy and still drink!

And OL--I'll never call you Eyeore. Ever.

If anybody wants to really fine tune this food thing for optimal health, a la KK's resolution of his diabetes and neuropathy, I think this smart guy my husband remembers from hub's med school days when he was hub's third year surgical resident has the single best explanation to date of just what the heck is going on:
Plant Paradox. Author is Steve Gundry, M.D., formerly chief of cardiac surgery at Loma Linda.

I didn't want to read it, because I knew I wasn't going to want to know what Dr. Gundry knows ;-) , but my spouse persisted in his lobbying for me to do so. (Good news--can still drink! Are you sensing a theme here??)

BTW, spouse is already more than halfway through Great Upheaval, and was pushing at the cousins' dinner last night.

In France and Belgium the buttered roll is called a "Pistolet". Usually reserved for Sunday mornings with copious amounts of cold cuts, cheeses and preserves. Their are four varieties: Velourkes, Tigerkes, Plain and Sandwichke (which is a brioche hot dog bun). People start lining up at their favorite Brood & Banquet (bakery) at 0630hrs to get them fresh out of the oven.

[Momto2]

Tonto - I enjoyed your daughter's article very much! I'm sure you are immensely proud of her. I was introduced to a similar breakfast when I went to Europe with my parents. Being southerners, my dad was appalled when served "cold hard bread" for breakfast as well as cold boiled eggs. My mother and I found that their wonderful, strong coffee made anything taste divine! Plus their butter - oh my!

I don't know about eliminating tomatoes...I'll have to pray about that!

[anonamom]

I drink plenty of gin, OL.

And there is increasingly nasty stuff about artificial sweeteners, and I bet KK does not allow them to pass his lips, but I have fulfilled my biological imperative--passed my genes on to healthy children, just need to convince them to get reproducing!---so I use Schweppes Diet Tonic rather freely.
I figure whatever that stuff does is likely better than sugar.

(Though I do wonder ---if I got quinine seltzer, maybe I really don't need it as sweet as it's manufactured? I did discover that I can cut back by half on the Cointreau in the Margarita if I use orange bitters too.)

Ig, tomatoes are A-ok if peeled and seeded. The verbotten lectins are in the skin and seeds.

And I actually think once somebody is "sealed" gut-wise, the high lectin stuff can "slide" through.

Plus who knows--maybe gin neutralizes lectins???? ;-)

[Clarice Feldman]

Do you think Mueller is making these provocative hires in order to precipitate his firing?

[cboldt]

I think Mueller feels protected and entitled. Hiring fellow travelers for this cushy gig is win-win-win for him. They all get to live high on the hog on taxpayer money. If they aren't fired, their mere presence adds to the insinuation that the Trump campaign is guilty of something - plus there is the possibility of a jackpot bonus of an indictment or three. And as you suggest, if they are fired, they still have cushy gigs on the impeachment force.

The only way Mueller loses is by limiting himself to doing the job he was appointed to. Same as any other government job. They all over-reach, it's pure upside.

[Ralph L]

You mean he wants to force another Sat Night massacre?

[Old Lurker]

Would not surprise me in the least, Clarice.

That might get him closer to impeachment without having to do all that hard legal work.

Fewer billable hours, however.

My kind of polling:

It would be a fun idea to just suggest to say...Breitbart to run a poll of the Republican base if they would be ok with Trump just having the GOP leadership taken out and shot. Then publish the results on Drudge and give them to the Main Stream Media. The very fact that their own voter base would be perfectly fine with having them shot would hopefully make some sort of impression on them. Hopfull that they needed to straighten the f@ck up and fly right or die.
