A crack in the civnattery

Has President Trump noticed the Magic Dirt isn’t working?

Donald Trump told progressive representatives Sunday morning to go fix the countries they are originally from before getting involved with American politics.

The president is likely referencing a group of four freshmen congresswomen who have recently been at odds with Democratic House leadership, which includes Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia.

‘So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,’ Trump posted to Twitter Sunday.

‘Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,’ he suggested. ‘Then come back and show us how it is done.’

For all his flaws and shortcomings, he is still the greatest president of the last 179 years.

“You can’t leave fast enough.”

Amazing rhetoric. The President has spoken. They have to go back. And that crashing sound you just heard was the Overton Window being shattered into pieces.

Bill Kristol@BillKristol
The president has once again (but even more obviously than usual) made clear his unapologetic bigotry, nativism and racism. Are GOP leaders, donors and voters still fine with re-nominating Donald Trump for president? Do they really believe the Republican Party can do no better?

You have to go back too, Bill.

Zero interest in the drama

As you’ve probably heard me say on occasion, I genuinely don’t care what Suzy said to Jenny about Sara. Or about me, for that matter. This Internet drama is literally never-ending and there is always something at which one can decide to take offense if one chooses.

So, from this point on, I’m going to do my best to completely ignore literally everyone else who isn’t an active enemy of Western civilization and refuse to answer any questions about what I happen to think about anyone else. For example, I think it was a mistake to answer questions about Jared Taylor no matter how idiotic I might happen to believe his decision to engage with CNN was, just as I think it would be a mistake to weigh in publicly regarding the bitter dispute between Owen Benjamin and Mike Cernovich.* I should have just kept my mouth shut and refused to answer the question.

So, please keep this in mind when you are asking me questions in the future. Don’t even bother asking “what do you think about X” if X is a public figure, however petty. The answer to all such questions is: “I probably don’t, at all, but in the unlikely event that I do, I’m not going to tell you.”

I will, of course, continue to express my opinions of the various enemies of Western civilization, especially those who fraudulently pose as its defenders. By which I mean the likes of Jordan Peterson, Dennis Prager, and Ben Shapiro.

* There isn’t any such dispute. I’m making a general point here.

You don’t even protect the border

I don’t see any reason alien enthusiasts shouldn’t storm Area 51. Since the US military doesn’t shoot foreign invaders actually invading the country by crossing the border, it isn’t going to shoot US citizens exercising their rights to life, liberty, and happiness inside the country either.

With the number of UFO enthusiasts volunteering to raid Area 51 growing uncontrollably amid an avalanche of memes on Twitter, the Pentagon seems to be worried that some might actually show up to try and break ‘them aliens’ free.

The #Area51memes hashtag has gone viral on Twitter, indicating that the majority of the 750,000+ ‘going to’ and 700,000 ‘interested’ in staging a mass raid on the secretive US government base probably understand that the event planned for September 20 is just a joke.

However, the US Air Force apparently took the potential threat to the Nevada base seriously, with spokeswoman Laura McAndrews saying she would like to “discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces.”

Seriously, they should just do it and underline what a complete paper tiger the US military is.

007, converged

It was only a matter of time before James Bond became a gay black woman.

Since Daniel Craig announced he was standing down as James Bond, debate has raged whether the next 007 should be a woman, or black.

Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that she will be both – thanks to the intervention of feminist TV writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

In what’s been called a ‘popcorn-dropping moment’, British star Lashana Lynch, will be given Bond’s licence to kill in the 25th movie in the franchise, currently being shot in Italy and the UK.

They’re just teasing it now with replacing the number. But they’re obviously hoping they can get away with making the actual substitution once Craig is actually done for good. While they’re at it, why don’t they really shake things up and give him Downs Syndrome and put him in a wheelchair?

This is a Bond for the modern era who will appeal to a younger generation while sticking true to what we all expect in a Bond film,’ the source added. ‘There are spectacular chase sequences and fights, and Bond is still Bond but he’s having to learn to deal with the world of #MeToo.

I’m guessing it probably won’t appeal as much to the younger generations as they think. Perhaps we’ll have to start thinking about writing a script for Roland Dane….

Darkstream channel membership

If you’d like to support the Darkstream on YouTube, you can do so now by becoming a member of the channel. Unauthorized subscribers, please note that all of you who want them will also receive notifications of a livestream. Within a week, I will be sending out an email with instructions about signing up for notifications of your favorite stream and/or content creator.

We’re not going to simply send out notifications to all subscribers for everything because that would be incredibly annoying and probably lead to our emails getting spam-trapped in the future, given the way we’re uploading 2-3 videos every day. And if you’re wondering why I have turned on channel memberships when we absolutely prefer for people to subscribe to Unauthorized, well, just watch the video. It’s an obvious question, which I address directly, and, I hope, convincingly.

I’d be interested in hearing any ideas for what channel emojis might be desirable. Since I have literally never intentionally utilized an emoji of any kind, it’s more than a little outside my area. And we will definitely improve the badges in due course.

Current emojis:

  • :like
  • :sad
  • :flag
  • :ask
  • :skl
  • :sdl
Currently we can have five more custom emojis, so feel free to suggest any more ideas. SKL = skull.

Make Inquisition Great Again

If anyone starts babbling about equality of any kind at your church, excommunicate them without hesitation. Because this is where it always – always – leads:

The Rev. Dr. Amy Butler, the first woman to lead Manhattan’s famed Riverside Church, lost her lofty post amid complaints that she brought ministers and a congregant on a sex toy shopping spree and then gave one of them an unwanted vibrator as a birthday gift, The Post has learned.

On May 15, Butler allegedly took two Riverside assistant ministers and a female congregant to a sex shop in Minneapolis called the Smitten Kitten, during a religious conference, according to sources familiar with the out-of-town shopping excursion.

At the store, the pastor bought a $200 bunny-shaped blue vibrator called a Beaded Rabbit for one minister — a single mom of two who was celebrating her 40th birthday — as well as more pleasure gadgets for the congregant and herself, sources said.

The female minister didn’t want the sex toy, but accepted it because she was scared not to, sources said. Butler also offered to buy a toy for the second minister — a gay man in a committed relationship — but he declined, sources said.

In a New York Times article published online Thursday — after The Post began making calls for this story — her supporters claimed she was let go because she spoke up against harassment and sexism. But a source familiar with the investigation said Butler and the church mutually parted ways when her position became untenable amid accusations of misconduct — adding that the sex-toy incident was one of “several concerns that the Riverside Church Council had about Amy’s judgement.”

This is what comes of inclusivity. One silver lining in the coming collapse of the USA is that it will no longer be illegal to burn witches at the stake.

What we have here is a lack of self-reflection

True Blood and Westworld actress Evan Rachel Wood helpfully provides young women with dating advice:

Westworld actor Evan Rachel Wood took to Twitter to attack Stranger Things’ Hawkins Sheriff Jim Hopper.

You should never date a guy like the cop from #strangerthings Extreme jealousy and violent rages are not flattering or sexy like TV would have you believe. That is all.

Wood would add, “Yes I am aware its ‘just a show’ and its set ‘in the 80s’ even though this stuff was unacceptable then too, but thats exactly my point. Its just a show and this is a gentle reminder not to fall for this crap in real life. Red flags galore.”

Now, keep in mind that Miss Wood is best known for portraying a bisexual vampire who kills and eats people as well as a killer robot. So if you take one thing away from this, it is a gentle reminder not to fall for bisexual vampires and killer robots. Bisexual vampires and killer robots are not flattering or sexy like TV would have you believe.

Takeaway: never take relationship advice from any woman dumb enough to date Marilyn Manson.

I didn’t laugh out loud

But I did just spray temperanillo all over my keyboard and monitor. Dammit, Owen!

By the way, if you want hats like this, unbearablesmerchandise.com. All proceeds go to me and my buddy Ryan, who has a fucked-up back. And I’ve been kicked off Paypal. So, it’s a really good foundation. A lot better foundation than the Clinton Foundation, because instead of focusing on the rape of kids, we focus on keeping it going.

Officer Bandito

Another tragic and totally surprising Magic Dirt fail:

The FBI is investigating a secret society of tattooed deputies in East Los Angeles as well as similar gang-like groups elsewhere within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, multiple people familiar with the inquiry said.

The federal probe follows allegations of beatings and harassment by members of the Banditos, a group of deputies assigned to the Sheriff’s Department’s East L.A. station who brand themselves with matching tattoos of a skeleton outfitted with a sombrero, bandolier and pistol. The clique’s members are accused by other deputies of using gang-like tactics to recruit young Latino deputies into their fold and retaliating against those who rebuff them.

In interviews with several deputies, FBI agents have asked about the inner workings of the Banditos and the group’s hierarchy, according to three people with close knowledge of the matter who spoke to The Times on the condition that their names not be used because the investigation is ongoing.

In particular, the sources said, agents have been trying to determine whether leaders of the Banditos require or encourage aspiring members to commit criminal acts, such as planting evidence or writing false incident reports, to secure membership in the group.

The agents also have inquired about other groups known to exist in the department, which has nearly 10,000 deputies and polices large swaths of the sprawling county. They have asked for information about the tattoos and practices of the Spartans and Regulators in the department’s Century station, and the Reapers, who operate out of a station in South Los Angeles, according to the sources.

Import enough Mexicans, you’ll soon enough find that you live in Mexico. On the plus side, while the police are criminally corrupt, the burritos and the margaritas are amazing.

A $5 billion traffic ticket

This “record-setting” corporate penalty is the equivalent of fining the average American household $483.04:

The Federal Trade Commission voted this week to approve a roughly $5 billion settlement with Facebook that could end an investigation into its privacy practices, according to a person familiar with the matter but not authorized to speak on the record, a deal that could result in unprecedented government oversight of the company.

The settlement — adopted with the FTC’s three Republicans supporting it and two Democrats against it — could end a wide-ranging probe into Facebook’s mishandling of users’ personal information that began more than a year ago.

The FTC’s $5 billion punishment against Facebook sets a new record as the largest penalty ever assessed against a tech company that broke a past promise to the government to improve its privacy practices. The matter from here rests in the hands of the Justice Department, which typically must finalize FTC settlements, though DOJ rarely has upended them.

Facebook warned investors earlier this year it could face an FTC fine as high as $5 billion. Wall Street appeared to reward the company for setting aside a large portion of that penalty earlier this year, as the company’s stock rose almost 2 points following news of the settlement Friday.

Fines don’t dissuade corporations in the slightest. Putting the CEOs, board members, and other executives in jail when the corporation breaks the law would be a much more effective disincentive.
