The 'intifada' comes to New Orleans 'Bring the intifada home!', cried Ivy League radicals throughout 2024. Well, here it is. On the bloodstained, wreckage-strewn streets of New Orleans. In the shattered limbs of the injured, the extinguished promise of the dead. The very Islamist violence that the West's woke influencers have been making excuses for, have been glorifying as 'resistance', have openly praised from the safety of their leafy campuses, has now struck at the heart of America's own Big Easy. Is this what you wanted? [...] https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/01/02/the-intifada-comes-to-new-orleans/

This is a NICE article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ New Year Offers Legacy Media a Chance for Redemption A new year brings hope for a fresh start. No one needs a reset more than the legacy media, which has lost most people's trust through its failure to report the news without fear or favor. Luckily, the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, AP, CNN, and all the rest have a chance to make amends thanks to a barnburner of a scandal – the years-long efforts to hide President Biden's diminished capacities even as his administration pursued transformational policies. Unpeeling this rotten onion would allow news outlets to showcase their reporting chops on a massive story they were deeply complicit in covering up. They would have to detail not only White House perfidy but their own. [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/01/01/new_year_offers_legacy_media_a_chance_for_redemption_152151.html

FBI Confirms Terrorist Attack By Stating 'This Is Not A Terrorist Attack' NEW ORLEANS, LA — The FBI announced today that the horrific scene in New Orleans was not a terrorist attack, thereby confirming to the nation that it was, in fact, a terrorist attack. The Bureau further stated that the perpetrator had no ties to Islam, letting the nation know that he was an Islamic terrorist. "Judging from the ISIS flag on the truck driven by a man named Shamsud-Din Jabbar to commit mass murder, we see no sign that this attack was terrorism," explained FBI spokesman Dean Richmond.

Some good observations here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Welcome to the New Normal Perhaps the real message of last November's election is not that Donald Trump won, but that woke progressivism lost. After all, though Trump has flaws, he at least lives in the real world and not in some ideological fantasy. It is also fairly likely that, in the four years since he left office, he has improved his presidential abilities. For example: He is less likely to be so easily goaded into overreacting to his critics… also known as taking the bait. Meanwhile, the spoiled children of the Left are running around convinced that their hair is on fire. Some are digging foxholes while others are drifting towards the center. This is most obvious in the media, since they are in the business of being obvious. Also, California's Gavin ("Hair Gel") Newsom is trying to [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/01/welcome_to_the_new_normal.html

Courtesy of Neonred. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Big Lots reaches deal to keep hundreds of stores open. Here's what we know. Some Big Lots stores, and jobs, will be saved. Is your store closing? On Friday, Dec. 27, the chain announced that 200 to 400 stores will be sold to Gordon Brother Retail Partners LLC. Big Lots assets including property and distribution centers will be transferred to Variety Wholesalers Inc. That group runs more than 400 stores in the southeast and mid-Atlantic under the following names: Roses, Roses Express, Maxway, Bill's Dollar Stores, Super 10, Super Dollar and Bargain Town. Earlier this month, Big Lots Inc. announced that going out of business sales would start at all U.S. locations. The nationwide discount store chain said in a news release that a previously announced sale to Nexus Capital Management would not be finished as scheduled. With the most recent news release covering a range of hundreds of stores, the final list of places that will close is not likely to be finalized yet. The agreement is also subject to bankruptcy court approval. [...] https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2024/12/31/big-lots-reaches-deal-to-keep-hundreds-of-stores-open/77326681007/

Obviously Amish.

Well, this explains some confusing discussion that we had at our Big Lots yesterday, si man. They were talking about "we were hoping that we would stay open, si man," si man. They said that their own closure was a matter of rent-disagreement with greedy landlord, si man. Anyway, the newly saved stores will be embarrassed if they have to stop their "out of business" sales, awkward man. Si and sigh man, si and sigh man. We want to have a closure conversation at least, si and sigh man.

It is Wednesday, and a new year. Our VAWA-Thread Jokes have elicited approvals and good news in countless cases (that is, if correlation = causation), and they will work for your case, too. Here is our inaugural 2025 and Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== FOLLOW THE PLOW A blonde driving a car became lost in a snowstorm. She didn't panic, however, because she remembered what her dad had once told her: "If you ever get stuck in a snowstorm, just wait for a snowplow to come by, and follow it." Sure enough, pretty soon a snowplow came by. She followed it for about 45 minutes. Finally, the plow's driver got out and asked her what she was doing. She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in a snowstorm, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Walmart parking lot; do you want to follow me over to Best Buy now?"

Yeah, Jimmy Carter's Post-Presidency Actions Were 'Borderline Treasonous' As I mentioned earlier, in the wake of Jimmy Carter's passing, the left has gone to absurd and Orwellian lengths to rewrite his legacy, attempting to transform him into a mythical great president. However, those who lived through his presidency know better. I was born the year Ronald Reagan trounced Jimmy Carter in the presidential election, so I only remember Carter's post-presidential years, which weren't much better. Sure, he got a lot of good press for his work with Habitat for Humanity, but that doesn't exactly absolve him of all the bad things he's done. It really is up to us to cut through all the noise of the obligatory tributes that are pouring in to make sure that his failings aren't forgotten.
