Half a billion, half a billion,
Half a billion — onward!
Out of the valley of Trump
Rides the Dem Brigade.
The repulsive ultraorthodox refusal to sit next to a woman on an airplane is met with repelled refusal in turn on many flights, UD is happy to report.
I mean, it’s an old story, and we’ve followed it for years on this blog. Crews now have clear instructions to tell sexist shits to sit down or leave the plane, and I’m guessing quite a few do leave, and they try their luck on another flight. Most I figure put up with sickening proximity to a female for the duration of their flight.
Some of course decide to fight, holding up departure, upsetting fellow travelers, etc. A group like this was recently thrown off a flight and they’re suing because religious freedom anti-semitism yada yada. The case will be thrown out, and the VERY slow learning process (of course it’s slow; ultraorthodox children get virtually no education) of these ridiculous people will move forward by an inch.

Well last week I thought all abortion’s wrong
If you bled out, well too bad so long
Punished all the bad girls, that’s no lie
Not my fault if the losers died
Because God told me to kill Roe, but it’s all over now
Because God told me to kill Roe, but it’s all over now
Well the bitch has me beaten all over town
Tellin’ everybody I’m a mad ol clown
She puts me down, it’s a pity how I cry
So listen: Now I don’t think raped children ought to die
Because God told me to kill Roe, but it’s all over now
Because God told me to kill Roe, but it’s all over now

UPDATE: ME change MY mind too, Daddy!
Sure it is. You can go after a child.
Both are entitled playboy sons of northeastern wealth; both (in Michelle Obama’s words) were “afforded the grace of failing forward” as misbehaving, underachieving adolescents admitted to Ivy League colleges thanks to “the affirmative action of generational wealth”; both were reckless lifelong adolescents, both attention-craving philanderers and liars, both jerks.
Only one, however, dealt cocaine.
A lengthy piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education features a Pomona College English professor who thinks an interest in aesthetics on the part of a literature professor is not merely racist, but just about the worst racism in America: Trump racism.
It’s a disgusting claim, but useful to mention here, since it goes to the mindless (j’accuse MAGA racists of considering the formal properties of Liberty Leading the People!) but sometimes effective bullying that exists in more than a few departments/administrations.
The real point of the bullying in the Pomona instance is simply intellectual turf-protection: One professor is outraged that another professor wants to teach a course that trespasses on territory she owns, you see.
After all, if this professor truly cares about the work of Ralph Ellison (the writer in question) being broadly taught to the largest number of students, she will welcome additional courses on him.
Over on Truth Social, Donald Trump has begun “live truthing” the Harris speech. But … he seems to be stuck on the Bidens. He posts, bizarrely: “WHERE’S HUNTER?”
Best line so far of Harris’s acceptance speech.
Hate to be Debbie Downer, but lest we get lost in the sheer delight of the Democratic convention, we need to venture for just a moment into the dark night of the Project 2025 soul.
In case we need reminding what the battle’s about.
Bring back the good old days!
C’mon! Your voters are already all over it! Don’t be a pussy, Don!
[W]here once 56 percent [of Americans] believed the former president could stay alert in the middle of a nuclear emergency, [now] it is 49 percent.

Then again, how many of US would be able to stay alert in the middle of a nuclear emergency? I think most of us would be nodding off.
One of the bootlickingest Trumpists out there just called Arizona Republicans who have decided to vote for Harris whores.
Strange… I thought prostitution was illegal in Arizona. Ignore these whores.
Well… but… YOU didn’t ignore them, Jake. You emblazoned them on X, and now outlets like NPR are reporting on your astonishingly unChristian use of language.

And then there’s the Trump campaign. In response to my Rep. Jamie Raskin’s perfectly reasonable, well-meant, warning to JD Vance to watch himself, given that Trump and his enthusiasts almost hanged his predecessor, the Trump campaign issued an official statement: “Jamie Raskin is a disgusting piece of trash.”

Or, in the original German, one of America’s highest-profile Jews is Dreckjude.

Whores. Disgusting trash. This, mes petites, is how you talk when you are very, very desperate.
Refreshing. Hillary Clinton addresses thirty percent of our rapidly secularizing nation in her convention speech.
