Again, A Flaming “It Isn’t What It Is” Lie From the Mainstream Media To Deceive the Public…

/ Jack Marshall / 1 Comment

The late, great Michael Kelly, a brave journalist who was on to the corruption of the Clintons about 20 years before it began to sink in for the less-biased Democrats , would write, even before Linda Tripp blew the whistle on Monica, “Where is the outrage?” It is time, past time, way past time, for the few honest journalists we have now, elected officials and patriotic Americans who are really concerned about the future of democracy, to call out our news media, shame and condemn them, and refuse to be silenced or back down. If Democrats succeed in winning the midterms and foiling the crucial policies of the Trump administration, including the undoing of the illegal Biden era policy of open borders and a commitment to the rule of law, it will be for two primary reasons: a corrupt mainstream media, and Trump Derangement deliberately fueled by that corrupt media.

This took place on CNN: The DOJ is investigating Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for obstructing federal immigration operations, because they are. CNN’s panel, led by the incompetent and openly biased Abby Phillips, was, naturally, hell bent on portraying these just desserts as examples of Republicans being fascists because that’s their assignment from the Axis of Unethical Conduct. All, that is, except for CNN’s house contrarian, Scott Jennings…

The Clintons’ Head Exploding Letter

/ Jack Marshall / 16 Comments

Just when Tim Walz and Minneapolis’s insurrectionist mayor Jacob Frey seemed to have an insuperable lead in the 2026 “Political Assholes of Year” race, around the turn come perennial contenders Bill and Hillary Clinton!

The world’s strangest married couple refused this week to testify in the House’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation, and its Republican leader, Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, quickly said he would take steps to hold them in contempt of Congress. That’s good: they are in contempt of Congress, but the letter is outrageous for other reasons. Being completely shameless, as we all know they are, they refused their civic duty to come testify when their government calls by loading up their missive with Trump Derangement-nip, turning it with every Axis of Unethical Conduct Big Lie and talking point they could think of (yes, the missed a few) while styling themselves as heroic for desperately trying to stop Bill’s metaphorical Jeffrey Epstein chickens from coming home to roost. Naturally the New York Times is trying to cover for Bill, writing,

Friday Open Forum!

/ Jack Marshall / 45 Comments

I begin with my favorite John Wayne punch-in-the-mouth clip of all time because I am experiencing increasingly powerful urges to set my Facebook page on fire by directly confronting my Trump Deranged Facebook friends, whose outbursts are getting increasingly hysterical, separated from reality, and depressing.

Do friends let friends make utter fools of themselves in public? Yet I know with near certainty that if I finally do what needs to be done by emulating Cher…

…I will end my days friendless, despised and alone.

But I digress. I am eager to see what my five commenters come up with “in these difficult times”….

Stop Making Me Defend Harvard’s Ex-Trump Deranged “Dean”!

/ Jack Marshall / 5 Comments

In addition to its leftist bias , its throbbing arrogance, and its incompetence as the supposed role model for American higher education, Harvard also lacks courage. The latest example is that the school recently removed Gregory K. Davis as Dunster House “resident dean” and sent him packing “immediately.”

Why? Trump Deranged, hysterically woke and anti-white tweets from the George Floyd freak-out and before, that’s why.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as the Resident Dean for Dunster,” Davis wrote. “I will miss my work with students and staff immensely.” Davis was appointed to the role in 2024 when Harvard’s DEI mania, exemplified by its disastrous selection of black, female Claudine Gay as its president despite her slim qualifications (besides being “historic.”) Dean Davis was plunged into controversy in October 2025 when Yardreport, a new anti-Harvard news aggregator, dug up old social media posts in which Davis advocated violence and looting at protests while making inflammatory statements about police and President Donald Trump.

In a 2020 thread on X, for example, Davis wrote that he would not fault individuals who wished harm upon Trump and attached a meme that stated, “If he dies, he dies.” In other posts, Davis characterized “rioting and looting” as part of a democratic process and called police officers “racist and evil.” Yardreport concluded that Davis was biased against “white people, police, Republicans, and President Trump” and called on Harvard to fire him immediately.

So Harvard did.

That decision reinforces everything I, conservatives and Donald Trump have been saying about Harvard and elite universities for years. Too frequently, all that mattered (matters?) to these schools is whether an administrator is marginally qualified, sufficiently progressive, and checks the right demographic boxes. As with Gay, other qualities that Harvard should have been concerned about in the vetting process were exposed to public scrutiny, and the school had no defense at all. It then defaulted to “Oopsie! Never mind!”

In saying that I’m defending Davis, then, I do not question that Harvard was foolish, irresponsible and lazy to appoint him in the first place. Maybe a better description is that I feel sorry for Davis. Now his character and reputation is being scarred because he will carry around the stigma of being summarily fired by Harvard from a rocking chair position for having the same attitudes that helped get him the job in the first place. I read Harvard’s alumni magazine, and for months it has been trying to get contributions by posing as a brave, defiant champion of academic freedom that refuses to “bend a knee” to the fascist dictator, then it does this. Davis is such a marginal figure that even the President wouldn’t waste time attacking him.

I bet that a disturbing proportion of Harvard’s faculty, administration and woke-programmed students agreed with Davis’s dumb tweets when he made them and do now.

Addendum to “What’s the Ethical Way To Deal With Minnesota?”

/ Jack Marshall / 13 Comments

Making one of the most brain-dead statements of the many uttered in Minnesota by irresponsible elected officials, Minneapolis’s insurrectionist Mayor Frey actually said out loud—he really did, I wouldn’t lie to you!—this:

“Imagine if your city or town was invaded by thousands of federal agents that do not share the values that you hold dear.”

Or, in the alternative, imagine if your country was invaded by millions of individuals raised in toxic, undemocratic, unethical cultures that are directly adverse to core American values!

Even in his own framework, Frey is suggesting that the culture of his city and state is adverse to the values of abiding by the law and respecting the authority of the elected national government.

Res Ipsa Loquitur! Sen. Hawley: “Can Men Get Pregant?” Democrat “Expert”: “Huminahuminahumina….”*

/ Jack Marshall / 37 Comments

I want to see this video posted on every clear-thinking person’s Facebook page to force the woke and obstinate of the Mad Left to try to defend this doctor’s response, or rather non-response. I want to have progressives with any semblance of integrity take this ethics test and pass by saying, “Yes, to simultaneously argue that science and not politics should govern policy and then refuse to answer ‘No, of course not to the question, ‘Can men get pregnant?’ is ludicrous, and shows that the Democrats are deep into ‘1984’ territory.”

I have a trans daughter now. I love hi…her—30 years habits are hard to break—unconditionally, and support her life choices whatever they are…BUT she is still a biological male, having a Y chromosome. (Intersex is an exception, estimated at .5% to 1.7% of the population, probably on the lower end, that proves the rule, and is too rare to be relevant in this conversation.) Deliberately denying facts to avoid dealing with a policy position’s weaknesses, flaws and problems is cowardly and unethical.

Shake this video in front of your progressive friends and relatives like a Jack Russell shakes a rat and make them respond, one hopes with more integrity to the ridiculous Dr. Verma. She needs to enter the Federal Cowardly Idiot Protection Program.

Ethics Observations On the President’s Latest Unpresidential Conduct

/ Jack Marshall / 17 Comments

President Donald Trump was caught on camera “flipping the bird” and shouting “Fuck you!” to a heckler who called him a “pedophile protector,” presumably referring to the contrived Epstein files obsession being used in desperation by Democrats. Of course the White House flacks are defending this latest indefensible outburst by the Vulgarian in Chief, but there is no defense. (The stated defense is just Rationalization #2A, Sicilian Ethics, or “He had it coming!”)

Authentic Frontier Gibberish of the Month: Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson

/ Jack Marshall / 14 Comments

“Is treating someone transgender, but does not have, because of the medical interventions and the things that have been done, who does not have, uh, the same, uh, threat to physical competition and safety and all the reasons the state puts forward – that’s actually a different class, says this individual. So you’re not treating the class the same. And how do you respond to that?”

That was Joe Biden’s DEI Supreme Court nominee, who couldn’t define what a woman is during her confirmation hearing, talking like Kamala Harris during oral arguments over the challenge to two state laws banning biological men from competing in women’s sports.

What an embarrassment. Do any blacks think it really is helpful to overcoming racial bias in this country to have a babbling dope, also a flagrant partisan hack, as one of two African Americans on the High Court? To look on the bright side, at least Jackson relieves the only Hispanic on the Court, the consistently ludicrous “Wise Latina,” Sonia Sotomayor, from being the most obviously unqualified judge on the panel.

Banning Thoughts, Positions and Ideas in Higher Education Is Unethical and Unconstitutional….But Is Cultural and Values Surrender the Only Alternative?

/ Jack Marshall / 20 Comments

Greg Lukianoff is the president and chief executive of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, which has taken over the non-partisan role of First Amendment protector that the ACLU abandoned over a decade ago. In an essay for the New York Times titled, “This Is No Way to Run a University” (gift link), he easily smashes some low hanging conservative fruit: Texas A&M University introducing policy changes aimed at a sweeping review of course materials aimed at purging state disapproved assertions about about race and gender ( according to a bill passed last spring by the Texas Legislature) from woke curricula.

The bill is almost certainly unconstitutional as state forbidden speech. Lukianoff highlights the fact that the law was interpreted at Texas A&M as mandating the elimination of some Plato works from a philosophy course on how classical ethical concepts apply to contemporary social problems, including race and gender. That is clearly a ridiculous result. The free speech activist writes in part,

“Texas A&M seems to have concluded that the safest way to handle the ideas contained in a classic text is to bury them. This is no way to run an institution of higher education. University administrators and state lawmakers are saying, in effect, that academic freedom won’t protect you if you teach ideas they don’t like. Never mind that decades ago, the Supreme Court described classrooms as the very embodiment of the “marketplace of ideas”: “Our nation is deeply committed to safeguarding academic freedom, which is of transcendent value to all of us, and not merely to the teachers concerned. That freedom is therefore a special concern of the First Amendment, which does not tolerate laws that cast a pall of orthodoxy over the classroom…Within the Texas Tech University system, which has more than 60,000 students, a Dec. 1 memo warned faculty members not to “promote or otherwise inculcate” certain specific viewpoints about race and sex in the classroom. These include concepts like “One race or sex is inherently superior to another”; “An individual, by virtue of race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive”; and “Meritocracy or a strong work ethic are racist, sexist or constructs of oppression.” The point isn’t that these concepts should just be accepted or go unchallenged; it’s that challenging them through a robust give-and-take is what universities are for.”

Now THAT’S An Unethical Judge!

/ Jack Marshall / 21 Comments

Amy L. Zanelli, an elected Magisterial District Judge in Lehigh County in Pennsylvania, is in a peck of trouble due to some unjudicial conduct that can only be responded to with “What was she thinking?”

For example, when a court employee tried to whisper to her that she had made an erroneous statement in court about a defendant’s sentence, the judge first ignored the staffer, then when the woman tried to get her attention again, exploded with “I am the judge, and you are just a fucking secretary! I will decide and make the determination about what happens in this courtroom!”

Judge Zanelli has habitually used vulgar rhetoric, apparently being especially fond of the word “cuntrageous.”

Classy! The judge also brought into her office a desk calendar that contained explicit sexual messages”evidently intended to be humorous” in the words of the ethics complaint, such as “Bedroom Plants He’ll Have to Slice Through With a Machete If He Wants That Pussy.” This was displayed in the general work area until Judge Zanelli removed it after complaints from her staff.

But here’s my favorite: Zanelli possessed what she termed a “Book of Grudges” in her office, which had the appearance of an ancient leather-bound tome with papyrus pages. The “Book of Grudges” bore an inscription written by the judge which stated, “Upon this day, we shall begin to record within our Book of Grudges.” Zanelli entered notes in her book, like describing a local attorney as “Just a Dick.” The judge encouraged her staff to make additions to the notes in the “Book of Grudges” about other individuals doing business in Zanelli’s court. They declined, though Zanelli placed the “Book of Grudges” in a general work area accessible to all staff for them to add notations to it to it, if they wished.

Eventually she was persuaded to remove it, but judges are not supposed to advertise their “grudges.” Canon 1, Rule 1.2 of the Code of Judicial Ethics states:

“A magisterial district judge shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.”

    Judge Zanelli also was routinely late for court, skipped work, often choosing not to preside on Fridays. The whole eye-popping complaint is here.

    A question: Has our judiciary always contained so many unethical, corrupt, biased, incompetent and just plain lousy judges, or is it just because of the internet that this is now so obvious?
