Vigilante commenter “A Friend” has now sunk (or risen?) to defending comic Bill Maher after supergluing himself onto the New York Times hill to die on, but undeterred or intimidated, I declare this latest from HBO’s manipulative hypocrite yet another “Unethical Quote:

“Let me tell you, folks, if the standards on the Left are going to be this high, and politics is going to be this much of a cock block, we’re never going to win elections or have any more babies.”

–—-Maher, reacting to the season eight finale of “Love Is Blind,” the latest stupid romantic link-up reality show. A nurse named Sara Carton, bailed out of her dream wedding to a sales consultant at the altar, telling him that he just wasn’t woke enough.

Bill Maher is trying to suck up to non-Trump Deranged sane people and conservatives to salvage his HBO ratings and popularity, and here is another example. Who knows what Maher really thinks, or if he believes in anything other than his own career, how much money he can make being a public asshole, and still getting dates with attractive starlets young enough to be his daughters. Here was his whole lament, so “A Friend” can’t say I’m quoting the jerk “out of context”:

The season eight finale of “Love Is Blind”: The bride, an impressive, attractive nurse named Sara Carton, walked out on her dream wedding to sales consultant Ben Mezzenga. They were at the altar, all dressed up, almost to the part where they eat cake and do the electric slide, when Sara broke the news to her man that she just couldn’t go through with it…. it was because of Black Lives Matter. Because if there’s one thing we know about the young liberal women of today, it’s that they are very, very high in their standards. About everything….He never really thought about it. And that’s when Sara realized she’d rather die alone. It wasn’t just Black Lives Matter. Ben also didn’t have much to say about the vaccine, and his position on trans was basically, ‘I don’t know, I guess.’ How dare Ben not throw himself enthusiastically into doing The Will of the Party? Let me tell you, folks, if the standards on the Left are going to be this high, and politics is going to be this much of a cock block, we’re never going to win elections or have any more babies. This inclination from certain liberals to always and immediately excommunicate instead of communicate is what makes them so unlikable. The guy must also have a nice car and make over 100K a year. Okay, but you know, how many 6’2″ Grand Prix drivers are there? How are the Democrats going to blow it this time? This is how. Posturing, purity tests, the politics of ‘I unfriend you if you’re not exactly with me a thousand percent.’”

Bill slipped up, you see. He signaled to the seal-clapping woke fanatics in his audience that still supporting the racist, lying scam movement and organization Black Lives Matter is showing “high standards.” In fact, doing so is irrefutable proof that someone is either a bigot, a moron, a sucker, or a con artist. It’s signature significance. Saying you support Black Lives Matter is like saying that you think Harold Staasen will stage a political comeback, or that you’d bet on Joe Bidden in a “Jeopardy!” match, or that you are Marie of Romania.

ABSOLUTELY!

I might have published that answer in a slightly smaller font if it were not so obvious that the news of Biden’s probably fatal malady was timed to mute the outrage over the Hur interview tapes as well as the emerging evidence of how disabled The Worst President Ever was during the latter part of his administration.

I don’t wish death on anyone (well, almost); I empathize with any human being and his or her loved ones who have to go through this ordeal. But Biden’s revealed health issues are absolutely unrelated to his culpability for the train wreck his term as President became, and he should not be spared criticism, condemnation, exposure and contempt for a single second because of his illness.

I checked: at least six relatively recent serial killers perished of various forms of cancer this century….

Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker): Convicted of 13 murders and numerous other offenses, Ramirez died of complications from B-cell lymphoma in 2013 while awaiting execution.

Joseph Edward Duncan III: Known for kidnapping and murdering multiple victims, including the Groene family in Idaho, Duncan died of brain cancer in 2021.

Carl Eugene Watts (The Sunday Morning Slasher): Suspected of killing over 100 women, Watts died of prostate cancer in 2007 while serving a life sentence.

Peter Tobin: Serving three life sentences for murder, Tobin died in 2022 after suffering from prostate cancer, vascular disease, and dementia.

Harry Edward Greenwell (The I-65 Killer): Linked to at least three murders in Indiana and Kentucky, Greenwell died of cancer in 2013 before being identified as a serial killer.

William Darrell Lindsey: Known as “Crazy Bill”, Lindsey murdered six women in Florida and one in North Carolina. He died of cancer in 2001 while imprisoned

Joe Biden and the party that installed him did far more harm to far more Americans and the nation not only than any one of those monsters, but than all of them combined.

Sure, I’m sorry Joe is sick. I’m still not letting him or the people who used him off the metaphorical hook for their actions. CNN has this headline: “President Biden has metastatic prostate cancer. Here’s what you should know.”

This is what you should know: the cancer is being cynically employed by the Axis of Unethical Conduct as a distraction and deflection to duck accountability. Don’t let them get away with it.

Nelson had a good day yesterday; so did Oscar Wilde, who famously said, commenting on the sentimental death of the waif in Dickens’ “The Old Curiosity Shop,” “One must have a heart of stone to read the death of little Nell without laughing.” The Democrats have made fools of themselves and continue to do so; the Trump Deranged are reduced to “stewing in their own juices” as my father liked to say, and the Axis news media is so desperate to help out its pals that it’s removing any tiny doubt that might have remained that our journalists are untrustworthy, unethical hacks.

Good times, good times.

Let’s see…

1. To the horror of all but America’s consumers, April showed the lowest rate of inflation rate in about four years.

2. The stock market essentially returned to where it was before Trump was sworn in.

3. The recession that the Axis was hoping for looked, suddenly, far, far away.

4. CNN’s disappointment over the good inflation news was palpable, bring on a grim faced analyst to try to reassure everyone that he was certain tariffs were going to crash the economy eventually. It is so, so apparent that he Democratic Party desperately wants the President of the United States to fail, the exact sentiment that it condemned then-GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell for expressing (they claimed) when Obama was President.

5. Both CNN and MSNBC were reduced to complaining about the President admitting a small number of South African refugees because they are white, and still complaining about Qatar’s gift of a jet to the U.S., not to Trump.

Welcome to my world…

Received just now: “Hi, I wanted to check if you currently accept guest post or link placements on your website. If yes, could you please share your guidelines and pricing? Thanks.”

Response: “No, I don’t. Guest posts are by invitation only.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all those who should be so greeted on May 11. I’m never quite sure, myself. Thinking about the four mothers in my immediate family, three of whom are gone now (and one is bitter about how her children turned out), makes me sad. Mother Grace was cynical about the celebration, in part because she always said that she was a lousy mother (she wasn’t), in part because she missed her own mother (who died in our home after we converted it into a hospice for her), and in part because “it’s a fake holiday invented by the greeting card industry.” Is it? If I were Ann Althouse, who appears to be going nuts again (she’s been obsessed with having conversations with Grok lately, the Twitter/X AI bot), I would muse about why it’s “Mother’s Day” and not “Mothers Day” or even “Mothers’ Day”. Mother Eleanor, my mother, regarded Mother’s Day as an opportunity to be appreciated when she tended to feel unappreciated (middle child hangover, I have decided). Dad always made a big deal out of the day—he cared so deeply about her—and would remind my sister and me about it weeks in advance.

Meanwhile…
