• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Are we gonna win another war?

The war on poverty, drugs, terrorism, or covid?

Going off historical data, it isn't looking good.
 
When All The Media Narratives Collapse
In case after case, the US MSM just keeps getting it wrong.

by Andrew Sullivan
Nov 12, 2021


But when the sources of news keep getting things wrong, and all the errors lie in the exact same direction, and they are reluctant to acknowledge the error, we have a problem. If you look back at the last few years, the record of errors, small and large, about major stories, is hard to deny. It’s as if the more Donald Trump accused the MSM of being “fake news” the more assiduously they tried to prove him right.

And these mass deceptions have consequences. We are seeing this now in the Rittenhouse case ...

And so when, this week, one of Rittenhouse’s pursuers, Gaige Grosskreutz, admitted on the stand that Rittenhouse shot him only after Grosskreutz pointed his pistol directly at Rittenhouse’s head a few feet away, it came as a shock.

Money quote from the defense lawyer: “It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him, with your gun (and your hands down) pointed at him, that he fired? Right?” To which Grosskreutz answered: “Correct.”
...

Because of that narrative whiplash, we may have more rioting and violence if he’s acquitted. The judge is already being targeted. I’m not defending Rittenhouse. And I understand newsgathering is fallible. But there’s a media pattern here. And it reaches far wider than Rittenhouse.

We found out this week, for example, that a key figure in the emergence of the Steele Dossier, Igor Danchenko, has been indicted for lying to the FBI. He is also charged with asking a Clinton crony, Charles Dolan Jr: “Any thought, rumor, allegation. I am working on a related project against Trump.”

The evidence from another key source for the dossier, Sergei Millian — touted across all media, including the Washington Post — has also been exposed as potentially fake. What has the Post done? As their own indispensable Erik Wemple notes, instead of a clear retraction, the Post has just added editors’ notes to previous stories, removed sections and a video, and altered headlines retroactively.
...

But Trump was right, in the end, about the dodgy dossier; he was right about the duped FBI’s original overreach; and the mass media — Rachel Maddow chief among them — were wrong. And yet the dossier dominated the headlines for three years, and the “corrections” have a fraction of the audience of the errors. Maddow gets promoted. And the man who first published it, Ben Smith, was made the media columnist for the NYT.

Think of the other narratives the MSM pushed in recent years that have collapsed. They viciously defamed the Covington boys. They authoritatively told us that bounties had been placed on US soldiers in Afghanistan by Putin — and Trump’s denials only made them more certain. They told us that the lab-leak theory of Covid was a conspiracy theory with no evidence behind it at all. (The NYT actually had the story of the leak theory, by Donald McNeil, killed it, and then fired McNeil, their best Covid reporter, after some schoolgirls complained he wasn’t woke.) Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

The MSM took the ludicrous story of Jussie Smollett seriously because it fit their nutty “white supremacy” narrative. They told us that a woman was brutally gang-raped at UVA (invented), that the Pulse mass shooting was driven by homophobia (untrue) and that the Atlanta spa shooter was motivated by anti-Asian bias (no known evidence for that at all). For good measure, they followed up with story after story about white supremacists targeting Asian-Americans, in a new wave of “hate,” even as the assaults were disproportionately by African Americans and the mentally ill.

As Greenwald noted, the NYT “published an emotionally gut-wrenching but complete fiction that never had any evidence — that Officer Sicknick’s skull was savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by a pro-Trump mob until he died.” The media told us that an alleged transgender exposure in the Wi Spa in Los Angeles was an anti-trans hoax (also untrue). They told us that the emails recovered on Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation. They did this just before an election and used that claim to stymie the story on social media. But they were not Russian disinformation. They were valid if minor news story the media consciously kept from its audience for partisan purposes.

More recently, the MSM was telling us for months that inflation is a phantasm....

We were told that vaccines would end the Covid pandemic. But they merely altered Covid to a manageable disease that you could still contract while vaccinated. We were told that the migrant surge at the border was just seasonal, and nothing out of the ordinary, even as 1.7 million migrants were illegally trying to get into the country in the last year. We were told that sending migrants back to their home countries was a wicked and unconscionable Trump tactic — even as the Biden administration swiftly copied it with Haitian immigrants — to much success. The cruelty is the point, eh?

This is about as good as you can do it. Great summary.
 
Or maybe, just fucking maybe, it’s the fuckin jab causing the surge. FFS

I've thought for a long time that these Jabs are meant to give many Wuhan. Early on, Big Pharma et al, said they were designed to give minimal protection long enough for the body to react to the virus and ramp up its natural immunity system. If so, how does the virus get inside in so many who got Jabbed? Maybe the snippet of the protein strand they claim they use for their nRNA stuff is actually live viral particles sufficient to make the virus in hopes that natural immunity takes over. A killed virus vaccine would have done much better but would have taken several years to make---there was an election to steal and money to grab with no time to waste.
 
Just private companies. My company is taking a hard line and defining the whole company as a federal contractor and requiring proof of vaccine by Jan 4. No wiggle room or weekly testing. My business unit does not work with the government. Our CEO is woke. I resigned after 10 years. Fuck those guys.

Kudos to You and Respect for Taking a Stand Against Tyranny!

When I was in HS, one of my friend's Dad had the contract to refill the district HS's feminine hygiene dispensers. He always carried sample products and videos of how to use them in his car.

One evening we drove into the CharKing to order. I was driving and put a tampon in each nostril. When I pulled up to the window and turned towards the female employee with a tampon hanging out of each nostril--she screamed and dropped the order.

Now Tell Me About All The Tech CWS Championships and I Tell You About Ours
Even for you this post is all over the place. Please clarify what’s more important big 12 standings for 1 year or performance in the CWS. We both know it’s CWS performance and just like everything else in Texas’s athletic accomplishments, your glory years were 15-20+ years ago. What have you done for me lately?

And if you really need convincing that Tech is currently the better program, why did our coach tell y’all to go fuck yourself when you backed up the brinks truck to try and lure him away? Because all the real baseball people know which is the better program right now.

Could also be why the vaccines have to be maintained as such cold temperatures before administering them.
