InstaPunk Returns

  I know you can’t read it. Just showing you the Instagram format here. I’ve explained before, or elsewhere, that being on Facebook has somehow put me on Instagram too. I did a brief profile to direct people here, but I hadn't yet realized that Instagram is completely in that skinny “reel” format I find so hard to read wherever it appears. Then I must have checked a wrong box I can’t uncheck, but my phone started notifying me of IG posts that “you might like.” Right. Overwhelmingly, these forwarded posts are the work of TDS sufferers who obviously get all their info from the alphabet networks on TV. Since they’re the first thing that pops up on my screen when I wake up at 0-dark-30 everyday, I look at them sometimes, there are always a bunch of them, and I occasionally make a brief comment. Then I get notifications that I have new Instagram followers who can’t be located by me. Big bunch this morning. Why I got the idea to do this post. One I can simply link when I see the same cra...

  It’s a mistake to think we don’t have to worry ourselves about polls until the 2026 midterm campaigns begin in earnest. They’re being used right now to fill the gaps left by the news mass media doesn’t want to cover or investigate in any depth. What are people thinking about this and that? What should you be thinking if you’re one of the smart ones? Are you thinking what we want you to think yet? I recently stumbled across a good example of how the polling game is played, even on what is supposed to be friendly turf. A source we can look at without the fingerprints of WAPO, the NYT, NPR, YouVote, Morning Consult, 538, Quinnipiac, or even Rasmussen (whom I have beaten on plenty for several years). It’s my habit to be wary of the “nose under the tent” phenomenon. Even rampaging MAGA strongholds like Real America’s Voice (RAV) can be manipulated on a fairly regular basis. Why I’ve been hard on Breitbart for their continual publishing of interviews with old, retired, out-of-office na...

  Some illiterate mug sent me this at my FB page this morning. I know it’s a fake, because there’s no way the ghost of Time magazine could survive a defamation suit like the one ABC just had to settle for many millions with Donald Trump. Still, it reminded me that the Missing-in-Action opinion editors of the biggest mass media outlets are addicted to soliciting Worst President rankings from deranged left-wing college professors who have written books about the left-wing despoiler of the Oval Office they most admire. (One of them had Biden ranked at 17th best two years into his catastrophic single term.) The only reason why such lists are popular with the media propagandists is the inevitable punchline that Trump and Nixon are first and second worst in some order. Which is nonsense. Generally, people with any education ignore the lists because they’re predictable, biased, sloppily argued and cited, and transparently a provocative political statement rather than a product of scholar...

Here’s a link to the latest roundup …  Followed by his usual clever walkback.. Here’s some history of a man without honor: Comey Commits Perjury about Trump, Flynn. Trump Willing to Testify Comey Lied Under Oath Comey Committing Perhury about Counterintelligence Operation Inspector General Testifies Comey Violated FBI policies There’s although this, surfaced a day later, the morning of May 16 : Personally, I don’t think Comey can count that high on his fingers and toes…  but he usually has abundant help with his dirty work . I’ll be back to add more as the current situation develops.

  Don’t worry. This won’t turn into charts & graphs. I also won’t be giving you a lot of highlights of rants, stumbles, and lost weekends in Delaware. In fact, my purpose here is to suggest a different perspective altogether. It came to me when I was notified of a thread at Instagram claiming Trump had confessed to fixing the 2024 election. It was early in the morning and I gave way to curiosity. Why, I asked him, was it so important to keep trying to dig up dirt on Trump after 10 years of frantic Democrat efforts of the sort had failed to stop his return to the White House. The reply was quick and consisted of the usual stream of adjectives, vulgar, rapist, convicted, Daddy’s money, guilty of every deadly sin in the book. How exactly, I wondered, was Trump so much worse than the corrupt, senile pedophile who had made every aspect of American life measurably worse? A speedy reply in 30 seconds flat: “We’re talking about this guy now.” Why there’s this post. Biden had ceased to...
