Hard to believe but true: It's hard to believe but it's true.
Last night, on Jesse Watters Primetime, Jesse Watters pretended to interview Niya, who is "not only a polyamorous British Columbian wolf, but she's also an elite hacker who takes down sex traffickers."
You may be wondering what this undisguised idiot meant when he said that Niya is "a polyamorous British Columbian wolf."
By clicking here, then continuing to click, you can see the undisguised idiocy which aired during last night's 8 o'clock hour on this "cable news" channel.
It's hard to believe that this undisguised idiocy now takes place on a regular basis on this particular channel. It's even harder to believe that Blue America's timorous orgs are too afraid of the power of Fox to report or discuss this insult to the American public and to this nation's interests.
Go ahead—click that link. Watch right through to the end. Attention should be paid!
Watters airs at 8 p.m. Gutfeld takes over at 10.
At 5, this pair of lost boys dominate The Five. The corporate bosses have found that it sells. Presumably, they've also found that it works as a messaging tool.
The idiocy continues apace. In BlueWorld, all is silent, much as it ever was, dating back to the undiscussed journalistic gong-shows of the Clinton / Gore / Clinton years.
I didn’t click on that link, and I won’t.

I did, and the guest explains that she doesn't think she is a wolf at all, and that her liking for wolves occupies only a small part of her life. Maybe Somerby missed that part when he called her "idiocy." More power to her if she is actually a hacker who takes down sex traffickers. There are people who pretend to be teens online in order to take down grown men who prey on them sexually. Maybe that is the part that Somerby objects to?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 3:05pm, Bob referred to Watters as being an undisguised idiot, not Niya.
DeleteMore mind-reading.
DeleteAnonymouse 4:69pm, right, engaging my mind as I read the blog rather than your filtering of every sentence thru your spleen.
DeleteHow many minutes are in an hour? Hint: it isn’t more than 60. Are you sure your mind is engaged?
DeleteAnonymouse 8:43pm, absolutely. My keyboard messes around.
Delete"It's even harder to believe that Blue America's timorous orgs are too afraid of the power of Fox to report or discuss this insult to the American public and to this nation's interests."
ReplyDeleteWait, are you saying that the clowns who spent last eight years making up shit about russiagate, covid, and such, should be now promoting the clowns at Fox News?
This doesn't make much sense, does it?
Keep mentioning russiagate, please. Everyone needs to be reminded how stupid an idea it is that it would take a foreign enemy to get Republican voters amped-up about voting for a bigot, like Trump.
DeleteWhat next? That it was Israel who made the Supreme Court overturn Roe v Wade, and not the Conservative Right's dream of "making women 2nd-class citizens again"?
I never thought of that. Yes, it’s the Haredim. They foisted Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health on us.
Delete"At 5, this pair of lost boys dominate The Five. "
ReplyDeleteNeither Gutfeld nor Watters is a "lost boy." That is a term that is used to describe the children in the Sudan who are recruited as warriors (against their will). That is a term that is used to describe vampires who haunt amusement parks after dark. That is a term for boy babies who fall out of their prams and are lost by their parents.
These are two grown men who perform on Fox News. Somerby's weak attempt to excuse their behavior implies they are something they are not -- innocent of what they are doing daily to spread disinformation.
Anonymous 3:09pm, “…That is a term [lost boys] that is used to describe vampires who haunt amusement parks after dark.”
DeleteBingo. A swifty , you are not.
You think you know what Somerby meant? The Peter Pan usage predates your preferred vampire reference.
DeleteAnonymouse 5:59pm, the vampire description of “lost boys” was from an anonymouse trying to morph Bob’s action of dissing Watters into Bob making excuses for Jesse.
DeleteI found it amusing that she was clueless as to how the vampire imagery she referenced is the most apt for what Jesse does with his featuring of eccentric guests from the leftwing.. As usual, she “owed” herself.
In a world where a biological woman can be treated as a man by simply saying she feels like a man, it's not surprising that people might take seriously Niya being a wolf.
ReplyDeleteDavid, listen to the link. She doesn't claim to be a wolf. She calls that a misunderstanding.
DeleteDavid didn’t just say he felt like an actuary, he passed some difficult tests. He is cognitive.
DeleteIn order for a biological woman to be treated as a man, she must also dress and behave like the social role and gender presentation considered male in our society. That is a lot more than just saying "I feel a bit mannish today."
DeleteThere have been women who have done that. They have generally been accepted as men because they have portrayed themselves as men.
Niya did not say she felt like a wolf or that she was a wolf. She said she liked wolves and felt an affinity for them, considering them a kind of spiritual avatar. Having totem or spirit animals that guide you in your life is part of native American culture and other cultures worldwide. Note that she is from British Columbia and may be a member of a First Nation tribe. Making this seem like a trans thing is a perversion of her beliefs, most likely.
Would it be fair to a Christian believer to interpret their feeling that Jesus is with them in their lives means they think they are Jesus?
@3:33 can you provide evidence that "In order for a biological woman to be treated as a man, she must also dress and behave like the social role and gender presentation considered male in our society."
DeleteMy impression was that in some prisons a male prisoner can be put in with the female prisoners by simply proclaiming that he's a woman.
BTW today's dress code pretty much allows women and men both to wear slacks and a shirt and low-heel shoes. So dressing as the other sex isn't necessarily onerous.
It never fails that anonymices will label gender norms as being an arbitrary social construct that should not be considered deterministic and five minutes later they’re arguing the opposite.
DeleteI don't think any commenter here or any Democrat for that matter has referred to transitioning as being arbitrary. It is certainly a construct because children learn their gender roles, which are part of their culture. Given that they are not born knowing those roles, it is hard to call them "deterministic". You and David are obtuse and refuse to invest any effort into understanding how sex and gender work. That isn't our fault.

Anonymouse 4:53pm, it’s hard to invest in your philosophy of how sex and gender work when all your philosophical precepts are on ballbearings.
DeleteTranslation: Cecelia is admitting she is too stupid to understand and won't make any effort, so she blames others.
DeleteHere is a comic book that will expain it to you, if you'll give it the chance:

3:54,
DeleteCan you provide evidence that God exists? Asking for those wondering why they should spend a second of time worrying how a religious person feels about abortion.
Only an omnipotent omniscient wise loving god could have created a world where David and Cecelia comment on TDH.
DeleteGod made David and Cecelia in the likeness and being of feces.
DeleteI resent that creating David took one of my ribs.
DeleteAnonymouse 6:10pm, “in other words”, your translations of the statements of contrarians always seem to have favor you.
DeleteBallbearings.
My balls always have their bearings. Always.
DeleteWhat does Somerby consider idiotic: (1) that this person claims to be polyamorous? (2) that she claims to be transsexual? (3) that she claims to be a wolf (which she doesn't)? (4) that she is from British Columbia?
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't Fox promote a story that mocks whatever the left supports, especially the right of people to define themselves however they want and love who they want (even though this woman is apparently from Canada)? If people listen to her, they will perhaps consider her more normal than Somerby does, as he repeatedly calls her idiotic.
He didn't call her idiotic.
DeleteHe should have.
DeleteHe called Watters idiotic, but then he said this:
Delete"You may be wondering what this undisguised idiot meant when he said that Niya is "a polyamorous British Columbian wolf."
By clicking here, then continuing to click, you can see the undisguised idiocy which aired during last night's 8 o'clock hour on this "cable news" channel."
What idiocy is he talking about, if not the report about Niya?" I think he clearly called them both idiotic.
Then later he says: "It's hard to believe that this undisguised idiocy now takes place on a regular basis on this particular channel."
And then he says again, "The idiocy continues apace." That is not a referencer to Watters but to the report itself, which is about Niya.
So, yes, he did call her idiotic.
I’m idiotic.
DeleteI don't think calling a report idiotic can directly equate to the subject of the report being idiotic.
DeleteRationalist, true, but in this case, they’re both idiotic.
DeleteJesse’s shtick is to book a lovable oddball that the audience can giggle over and then prime that guest into saying that he’s a warm and open minded guy.
DeleteWatters reminds me of the NY Times and the rest of the mainstream media. Always willing to have differing viewpoints aired, as long as they don't include calls for anything progressive.
DeleteAnonymouse 7:06pm, globalists all, just like both political parties.
DeleteSeems it might be just progressives, who aren't the globalists. Is that why you have such a problem with progressive thought?
DeleteAnonymouse 8:56pm, progressives essentially are globalists now.
DeleteYou’ll collude with the ruling class to have home ownership and private transportation made extinct. In return, you won’t make a peep about their private planes in a quid pro power deal that allows you to manage the rest of us.
"globalists all, just like both political parties."
DeleteWell yes, both parties, except for MAGA.
There's a large anti-globalist constituency: the working class + traditional domestic business segment. It's organized as MAGA now, but if MAGA is eradicated, it'll be something else. Probably more radical.
The working class doesn't vote Republican, unless they are the white working class. But that's not due to them being working class.
DeleteAnonymouse 12:24pm, oh,no, the white working class loves the deindustrialization of the country and your villainizing of them as wearing white hoods because they're not on board with all your political hopes and dreams.
DeleteThey relish it. Why wouldn’t they?
There is working class. Or labor, if you prefer. It's a socioeconomic characteristic; it's color-blind. Their interests are aligned with MAGA, even if some of them are mislead by liberal racists.
DeleteThere was a female NY Times reporter who dressed and portrayed herself as a man in order to report on what it was like to be a man in NYC. She was readily accepted as male by a cohort of male coworkers. She said the hardest part was attending strip clubs with them and turning down a lap dance. Later, she came out as an imposter and her male friends were angry at her and felt betrayed by her pretense. That surprised her because it disrupted their friendships and she had expected them to understand, but they didn't. She wrote a book about the experience.

There are women who do this for real and are accepted on their own terms as men. It goes the other way too.
It used to be that before a doctor would help a person transition, they had to live for a year as the opposite sex in preparation. David always trivializes this, as if it were a whim.
Niya looks and acts like every modern Democrat woman. Checks all the boxes. Male, mentally deranged, sexually deranged, intellectually deranged.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it good that Fox is interviewing Democrats too?
Thinks women and blacks are first-class citizens, I suppose, too.
DeleteAOC looks male? You need glasses, son.
DeleteFrom the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
ReplyDeleteOur Trump reporting upsets some readers, but there aren’t two sides to facts: Letter from the Editor
A more-than-occasional arrival in the email these days is a question expressed two ways, one with dripping condescension and the other with courtesy:
Why don’t our opinion platforms treat Donald Trump and other politicians exactly the same way?...
The angry writers denounce me for ignoring what they call the Biden family crime syndicate and criminality far beyond that of Trump. They quote news sources of no credibility as proof the mainstream media ignores evidence that Biden, not Trump, is the criminal dictator.
The courteous writers don’t go down that road. They politely ask how we can discount the passions and beliefs of the many people who believe in Trump....
The north star here is truth. We tell the truth, even when it offends some of the people who pay us for information.
The truth is that Donald Trump undermined faith in our elections in his false bid to retain the presidency. He sparked an insurrection intended to overthrow our government and keep himself in power. No president in our history has done worse.
This is not subjective. We all saw it. Plenty of leaders today try to convince the masses we did not see what we saw, but our eyes don’t deceive. (If leaders began a years-long campaign today to convince us that the Baltimore bridge did not collapse Tuesday morning, would you ever believe them?) Trust your eyes. Trump on Jan. 6 launched the most serious threat to our system of government since the Civil War. You know that. You saw it.
The facts involving Trump are crystal clear, and as news people, we cannot pretend otherwise, as unpopular as that might be with a segment of our readers. There aren’t two sides to facts. People who say the earth is flat don’t get space on our platforms. If that offends them, so be it.
As for those who equate Trump and Joe Biden, that’s false equivalency. Biden has done nothing remotely close to the egregious, anti-American acts of Trump. We can debate the success and mindset of our current president, as we have about most presidents in our lifetimes, but Biden was never a threat to our democracy. Trump is. He is unique among all American presidents for his efforts to keep power at any cost. (continued below)
(cont.) Personally, I find it hard to understand how Americans who take pride in our system of government support Trump. All those soldiers who died in World War II were fighting against the kind of regime Trump wants to create on our soil. How do they not see it?
DeleteThe March 25 edition of the New Yorker magazine offers some insight. It includes a detailed review of a new book about Adolf Hitler, focused on the year 1932. It’s called “Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power” and is by historian Timothy W. Ryback. It explains how German leaders – including some in the media -- thought they could use Hitler as a means to get power for themselves and were willing to look past his obvious deficiencies to get where they wanted. In tolerating and using Hitler as a means to an end, they helped create the monstrous dictator responsible for millions of deaths.
How are those German leaders different from people in Congress saying the election was stolen or that Jan. 6 was not an insurrection aimed at destroying our government? They know the truth, but they deny it. They see Trump as a means to an end – power for themselves and their “team” – even if it means repeatedly telling lies.
Sadly, many believe the lies. They trust people in authority, without questioning the obvious discrepancies or relying on their own eyes. These are the people who take offense to the truths we tell about Trump. No one in our newsroom gets up in the morning wanting to make a segment of readers feel bad. No one seeks to demean anyone. We understand what a privilege it is to be welcomed into the lives of the millions of people who visit our platforms each month for news, sports and entertainment. But our duty is to the truth.
Our nation does seem to be slipping down the same slide that Germany did in the 1930s. Maybe the collapse of government in the hands of a madman is inevitable, given how the media landscape has been corrupted by partisans, as it was in 1930s Germany.
I hope not.
In our newsroom, we’ll do our part. Much as it offends some who read us, we will continue to tell the truth about Trump.
Are you just finding out Republicans are fascists? Try to be a bit quicker on the uptake, please.
DeleteIs the Cleveland Plain Dealer just finding that out, too, do you think? Or do you think there might be another reason for stating the facts prior to an election? Idiot.
DeleteFlying monkey anonymices are the bottom rung of the anonymouse corp. It’s nice they could find work somewhere.
DeleteGod bless the Cleveland Plain Dealer for calling out Ronald Reagan as a fascist in real time.
DeleteThis one must have come out of retirement. It’s 2024, dear, go back to your nap.
DeleteNice Ageism.
DeleteThose who thought you had to be trans for Cecelia to say something bigoted against you, can now apologize for their faulty thinking.
I’m faulty.
DeleteAnonymouse 10:18pm, tell your poo- throwing flying monkey anonymouse to come up with some new material and tell yourself that too.
DeletePersonally, I prefer DNC's trained monkeys to DNC spammers (5:35 -38). Less scrolling.
DeleteMost gender-confused children grow out of it, landmark 15-year study concludes - as critics say it shows being trans is usually just a phase for kids
ReplyDeleteThis is why it's terribly important to protect children from sex change or hormone treatment. I's OK If an adult makes this choice for him/herself. But, children are too young to know what they are or to decide. And, as the study shows, most of the children who think they're trans are just going through a phase.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13263725/trans-kids-change-sex-adults-study.html
Those treatments offered to children are reversible and not harmful to them. How do you know which ones will "outgrow" dysphoria when they do not ALL outgrow it?
DeleteAn update from Kevin:
ReplyDeletehttps://jabberwocking.com/grocery-inflation-is-at-1-why-dont-more-people-know-it/
When Watters said President Biden had made up a story about an 11 year old who had been raped (a story which was perfectly true) and wanted an abortion, it was Somerby who remained silent.
ReplyDeleteIs this another illegal migrant ("refugee") rapist story?
