Most people wouldn't post until they knew what they were attempting to say, not our Frankie. Of course, he could claim that this is just another failed attempt at "edginess"

"Insight, untested and unsupported, is an insufficient guarantee of truth". -- Bertrand Russell Meanwhile: Axelrod, Left Panic Over Prospect of 'Competent' Presidential Wingman at DoJ Ed Morrissey How soon they forget! Or pretend to do so, anyway. Yesterday's events proved rather traumatic to the Left. In one fell swoop, Donald Trump managed to strip them of an easy punching bag with Matt Gaetz' removal as Attorney General nominee, and then moved quickly to appoint Pam Bondi instead. Alternate headline: Strange New Respect for Gaetz Breaks Out on Left. It didn't take long for them to realize that their situation just got a lot worse within a few hours, thanks in large part to Republicans keeping their own house clean. Suddenly, competence and ability have become something to fear, as it means that [checks notes] the incoming administration will deliver on the agenda that won them the election. Maybe Democrats are unfamiliar with that concept ...? Because this looks and sounds more like an endorsement rather than a warning. Competent. Can do the job. Experienced. Effective. What more would Democrats demand from a Republican nominee at any position? https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/11/22/axelrod-left-panic-over-prospect-of-presidential-wingman-at-doj-n3797249 .

Neil DeGrasse Tyson Flunks Science? Ed Morrissey He flunks Scientific American, anyway. Bill Maher put Neil DeGrasse Tyson on the spot last night on his HBO show Real Time, discussing the politicization of science and the populist revolt against the radical progressive Left in the latest election. And the pop scientist can't bring himself to acknowledge that the 170-year-old magazine sold out science years ago for social-engineering quackery and radical politics. The debate begins with Maher blaming the election loss on the disconnect between Democrats and biological reality, using the meltdown by former Scientific American editor in chief Laura Helmuth as an example. Despite Maher's repeated probing, Tyson refuses to acknowledge a biological difference in sports performance and declines to rebut Helmuth's claim that all such differences are due to social bias. In the end, Bill Maher says, "I'm going to file you under part of the problem," and he's right: https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/11/23/neil-degrasse-tyson-flunks-science-n3797286 Neil DeGrasse Tyson Is an Ignoramus, Part Deux David Strom Ed wrote about Neil deGrasse Tyson's idiotic performance on Bill Maher's show earlier today. (See above) Tyson matters because he is a science "influencer" whose job it is to be an ambassador to the masses for scientists, who are generally not known for being outstanding communicators. Like Bill Nye the Science Guy, he is a fraud, selling not science but The Science™. He is a self-absorbed, politically motivated, profoundly ignorant, and compromised ignoramus. I want to take another shot at Tyson--not just because I despise his pretentiousness, although I admit I enjoy poking at him every chance I get--because he is dangerous. As one of the "experts" who mislead people, he has an outsized impact on public opinion and needs to be taken down about ten pegs. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/11/23/neil-degrasse-tyson-is-an-ignoramus-part-deux-n3797294

The Pentagon's DEI Mafia Has Set Their Sights on Saving Themselves From Pete Hegseth Pentagon officials speaking on condition of anonymity are claiming that should Pete Hegseth be confirmed as Secretary of Defense, he will demolish the efforts by the Department of Defense to stamp out sexual assault. According to Politico, "Officials fear that Hegseth, whose nomination had already caused controversy due to his opposition to women serving in combat, could also hurt efforts to recruit women into the military." https://redstate.com/streiff/2024/11/22/the-pentagons-dei-mafia-has-set-their-sights-on-saving-themselves-from-pete-hegseth-n2182373

And now: Trump selects Scott Bessent for Treasury secretary By Kathryn Watson, Olivia Rinaldi Bessent is also openly gay, and he and his husband, former New York City prosecutor John Freeman, have two children. If confirmed, Bessent would be the first Senate-confirmed gay Cabinet member of a Republican administration. Ric Grenell was acting director of national intelligence under Trump, but the Senate never confirmed him. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-expected-to-pick-scott-bessent-treasury-secretary-source/ .
