    Conservatives are losing the "don't be weirdos" contest. One of the main stories of American politics of the last few decades is the wealthy and educated shifting away from the Republican Party and towards the Democrats. Conservative losses among the upper classes have not been balanced out by gains elsewhere. Republicans have lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections, showing themselves to be broadly unappealing to most Americans while nonetheless staying competitive due to the unusual quirk of us picking our head of state through the electoral college, which gives disproportionate power to rural areas....

  • Fully Unhinged ‘Dilbert’ Guy Tells White People to ‘Get the F*** Away’ From Black People (Scott Adams is over trying to help black people)

    Pro-Trump cartoonist Scott Adams pulled the mask all the way off this week, declaring on his podcast that white people should “get the hell away from Black people” while labeling African-Americans as a “hate group.” Adams, who has written the satirical office comic strip Dilbert for more than three decades, said during his Coffee with Scott Adams online video program that current polling proves that there is “no fixing” the current racial tension in America and that whites should live in largely segregated neighborhoods. Citing a recent Rasmussen survey showing 53 percent of Black people agree with the phrase “It’s...

    My favorite movie is Groundhog Day, and I have made it a personal tradition to watch it on... Groundhog Day, much to my wife's chagrin. This post is in honor of that tradition: It’s Groundhog Day 2023 and here are 17 of the best quotes from the iconic 1993 movie to celebrate the holiday. Occurring every year on February 2, Groundhog Day is a popular North American superstition that revolves around an animal called a groundhog. If the rodent emerges from its burrow and sees its shadow due to sunny weather, it will retreat back to its den and winter...
  • Steely Dan vs John Lennon: The Feud That Signified the End of The Beatles Era

    “I still believe that love is all you need,” Paul McCartney continues to proclaim, “I don’t know a better message than that.” And yet John Lennon took that love-uber-alles ethos to such an extreme in the 1970s that even his old rose-tinted mate was retorting, “Too many people preaching practices.” So it’s no surprise that the sardonic duo in Steely Dan rolled their eyes when they heard the ‘Smart One’s’ prayer for peace with ‘Imagine’ and a string of pious talk show appearances in the early 1970s. Steely Dan’s bold response to Lennon’s all-white evangelism signified that the prominent days...

    Kari Lake, the Republican who lost the Arizona governor's race this past November, could beat both potential competitors Ruben Gallego and Kyrsten Sinema were she to run in 2024 for the latter's Senate seat, according to a recent poll. The survey, released January 11 by website Blueprint Polling, imagined a scenario in which Sinema, a former Democrat turned independent who's held her Senate seat since 2019, runs for reelection against Lake and Gallego, a Democrat who represents the state's 3rd Congressional District. Lake, who rumors say is considering running for the seat but has not confirmed this, polled at 36...

    In 1993, the Buffalo Bills were down 32 points to the Houston Oilers in the third quarter of an NFL playoff game. In one of the most astounding comebacks in sports history, the Bills defeated the Oilers by a score of 41-38. Welcome, political fans, to the final quarter of the 2022 midterm House elections. Over the past several weeks, the punditry has morphed from digging the Democrats’ graves to hyping expectations of their over-performing. Going into the summer, some forecasts had Democrats losing as many three-dozen seats. Coming out of summer, David Wasserman, the unusually prescient analyst from the...

    Reality TV personality Dog, whose real name is Duane Chapman, said on Thursday that he felt "real good" about how his hunt was going and expected to close in on Laundrie imminently. [snip] Chapman has also contracted a private search and rescue K-9 team to aid in his search of an island called Egmont Key, which is off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida. "We got a bunch of volunteers," he told Fox News. "Most of them are former law enforcement, former Navy SEALs and Marines." He added: "So, we're on the hunt, I feel real good about it." [snip]...

    A smiling Brian Laundrie was captured behind bars — in a photo with Gabby Petito at a Florida campsite that Dog the Bounty Hunter believes could hold the key to finding the dead woman’s fugitive beau. The image — which was posted on Petito’s Instagram page in February — is tagged at the Fort De Soto Historical Fort, Fox News reported. Laundrie, 23, who is being sought by authorities, hasn’t been accused of the Long Island native’s death but is wanted for allegedly using someone’s bank card in Wyoming in late August. In the photo, the grinning man appears to...

    After receiving about 500 tips from viewers, John Walsh, host of “In Pursuit With John Walsh” on the Investigation Discovery network, believes he has narrowed down the list of possible locations Brian Laundrie could be. “We had at least three times more phone calls than we’ve had on any fugitive.” Walsh said. In just three seasons of his show, Walsh has helped authorities capture 26 fugitives and locate eight missing children. He covered the Gabby Petito investigation on his show this week. “We haven’t had this much attention since Elizabeth Smart,” Walsh said. Walsh said the tips he has received...

    Townhall.com ^ | September 24, 2021 | Erick Erickson
    Source: InstagramTwenty-two-year-old Gabby Petito is dead. Authorities found her body in Wyoming. Her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, returned home to Florida after Petito went missing on their cross-country excursion through national parks. Laundrie subsequently walked off into a wilderness preserve, presumably to flee from authorities who now wish to question him. The story broke a week ago. It sailed past me until my 16-year-old daughter asked what I thought about it. I had no idea what she was talking about. My wife, the next day, came home from the gym and asked about it. A 20-something young woman at her gym...

    Brian Laundrie, who is being hunted in connection to girlfriend Gabby Petito’s death, is “well versed” in surviving long periods of time in the wild, a former co-worker told The Post. Laundrie, 23, identified as a person of interest in Petito’s death during the couple’s cross-country trip, disappeared last week and is the subject of a massive manhunt at a 25,000-acre reserve near his Florida home. But Laundrie could prove hard to find — he once bragged to co-workers that he survived on just crackers for six weeks while camping, the co-worker said. “In conversation about hiking … Brian talked...

    Brian Laundrie’s parents rebuffed questions about their son’s whereabouts and told the media to scram as they left their home in Florida on Thursday morning. Christopher and Roberta Laundrie were confronted by reporters as they headed to their red Dodge Ram pickup truck in the driveway of their North Port home. “Mr. and Mrs. Laundrie, do you know where he is? Can you tell us?” one reporter asked. “Go,” snapped Christopher. “I’m going to go that way. I’m going to go that way,” he continued, pointing down the street before climbing into the truck with his wife.
