Sunday Ethics Horrors Starring Charlie the Raccoon

2. In related news, one of those Biden obstructionist anti-Trump judges temporarily blocked the National Park Service from removing or revising signs, films and other materials at national parks across the country to comply with an executive order from President Trump that called for removing or covering up materials at national parks that “inappropriately disparage Americans” or cast the United States “in a negative light.”

The judge, Angel Kelley of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, gave the Park Service three weeks to restore any exhibits that it altered. A coalition of woke propaganda advocacy groups sued to block the executive order in February while litigation goes on.

Among the removed progressive indoctrination items is a sign about climate change at Fort Sumter in South Carolina, because, as we all know, climate change is so relevant to the beginning of the Civil War.

3. Gotta give the New York Times credit for coming up with new ways to attack and undermine President Trump! Today, on his birthday, the Times gave itself over to a staff op-ed purporting to convey advice from other octogenarian celebrities on coping with advancing age—because Bob Dylan, Liza Minelli, Robert DeNiro, Gloria Steinem, Art Garfunkle and Dionne Warwick have so much relevant experience to pass on to a President of the United States. This is an appeal to irrelevant authority, and, of course, the collected old folks are all from the show business and entertainment worlds, where a) leftist bias b) Democrats and c) Trump Derangement dominate.

Do you have advice for President Trump?

DeNiro:

“The President doesn’t listen to advice. He surrounds himself with feckless clowns who keep their positions by supporting his every whim. If I were able to pierce the shell of cruelty, greed, corruption and stupidity for one piece of advice … I would advise him to get some good advice from good people, and follow it.”

Steinem: “Resign.”

4. Oh wow, what an important victory for justice! A legal substacker I never heard of has decided to send me unsolicited his rants via email. Chris Geidner (the Law Dork) writes how “The Kennedy Center is a reminder that we can win, it will be messy, and Trump will be petty. The illegal effort to put Donald Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center has always been a metaphor — but, this weekend, it became a story of how we get through this.”

“This” is, as usual, the non-substantive outrages the Trump Deranged obsess about because the President is evil, he just is, that’s all. I have made it clear where the ethics issues regarding the Kennedy Center’s renaming by the President stand: it was a silly, gratuitous trolling move by him, the reaction by artists was the equivalent of slicing off their own noses, and, along with whining about the reflecting pool’s shade of blue, the stupid arch, the ballroom and today’s fighting exhibitions on the White House lawn, the volume of protest people like Geidner turn up only reinforces my conviction that fury, frustration and hate have rendered them dysfunctional, perhaps permanently.

5. With a sane electorate, the Democrats’ last ten days or so would have cemented the party’s demise. It sure seemed like it openly rigged the L.A. Mayor primaries. The party embraced a Senate candidate in Maine who represents everything the party has railed against for years. Many of its leaders revealed themselves as pure class-warring Socialists, attacking Elon Musk, one of the nation’s most productive and innovative citizens, because he has made “too much money” by being productive and innovative.

But the Axis hypocrisy as it tried to defend Graham Platner’s evident sexual misconduct, throwing “believe all women” into a blender and coming out with “believe all women as long as they accuse Republicans,” was especially breathtaking. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), who grilled Brett Kavanaugh based on progressive activist Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation that Kavanaugh had assaulted her in high school at a time and place neither she nor anyone else could recall is now a major donor and supporter of Platner, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from Maine. Whitehouse dismissed the New York Times accounts from women describing Platner’s physical and mental abuse saying that he was “unimpressed” by the allegations and the multiple women coming forward “seems like a lot of nothing.”

New York Times writer Jodi Kantor went on CNN to explain why Democrats can vote for Platner despite multiple women coming forward to denounce him, because what he has been accused of isn’t technically like a true #MeToo” accusation. Kantor, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Harvey Weinstein’s sexual crimes, explained that Platner’s “are not classic MeToo accusations” because”they’re not about a boss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances.”

Oh. Wait: was Blasey-Ford working for Kavanaugh when they were in high school?
