Great: Liberal White House Reporters Already "Exhausted" by Trump's Second Term - HOW LAZY AND MENTALLY WEAK ARE THESE MORONS. White House reporters are already “exhausted” with President-elect Donald Trump’s second term before it even starts, members of the press corps told Vanity Fair on Wednesday. In the article, titled “Reporters Brace for the Frenzy of a Second Trump White House,” New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker said, “Anybody who went through it the last time remembers how nonstop it was.” “It ends up kind of becoming all-consuming and taking over your life. It wears you down,” he lamented. “Everybody’s exhausted, and he hasn’t even taken office yet,” Baker added. ...

Final Bogus Case Against Trump Set to Collapse Soon - SHE IS SUCH AN OBESE, DISGUSTING, IDIOT... SNIPS: “Fani doesn’t see how she’s headed for a brick wall, she’s going full tilt with vengeance and emotions,” one local defense lawyer who knows her told The Post. “She’s still so full of herself and hasn’t learned her lesson yet. She doesn’t realize she is her own demise and she’s the reason everything’s falling apart.” Willis – who won re-election for a second term as DA in November – has remained defiant and ignored a subpoena in September from a special senate committee looking into the case, refusing to show up for a hearing when was supposed to testify. Last week, a Georgia appeals court abruptly canceled oral arguments scheduled for next month in the case and Trump’s lawyers are likely cite the federal end to the election interference charges against him to get the Georgia case thrown out. “I would be shocked if it wasn’t (dismissed) but Fani has an ego bigger than the entire state so who knows,” a source close to the Willis investigations told The Post.

Smells Like BS: PhD's 'Olfactory Oppression' Dissertation Shows EVERYTHING Wrong With Education Back when this writer went to college and graduate school, there were many terms for the easy classes or majors that some people chose to waste their education dollars on. We called them 'gut courses' or 'cram courses' or simply just 'underwater basket weaving.' People who majored in these areas were often the subject of satirical lampooning in popular culture, including movies like Six Degrees of Separation and P.C.U. Fast forward a generation and we don't often hear about 'gut courses' anymore. We're starting to think that's because ALL higher education has become a giant gut course with a heavy dollop of Marxist ideology thrown in for good measure. Yesterday on Twitter we noticed a tweet from Ally Louks, a proud new PhD from Cambridge University. At first glance, our initial reaction was, 'Good for you. Congratulations.' Ahh, but then we looked a little closer at her leather-bound dissertation. Wait ... Does that say Olfactory Ethics? Does that really say The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose? This is what people get awarded PhDs for from one of the most prestigious universities in the world? 'Doctor' Louks was kind enough to share the abstract from her dissertation and we cannot believe what we saw. Take a look: WTF? The abstract reads like Marxist Buzzword Bingo. We added emphasis below for each bingo square we checked off. We filled our entire board before we got through half of it: Recommended This thesis studies how literature registers the importance of olfactory discourse—the language of smell and the olfactory imagination it creates—in structuring our social world. The broad aim of this thesis is to offer an intersectional and wide-ranging study of olfactory oppression by establishing the underlying logics that facilitate smell’s application in creating and subverting gender, class, sexual, racial and species power structures. I focus largely on prose fiction from the modern and contemporary periods so as to trace the legacy of olfactory prejudice into today and situate its contemporary relevance. I suggest that smell very often invokes identity in a way that signifies an individual’s worth and status in an inarguable manner that short-circuits conscious reflection. This can be accounted for by acknowledging olfaction’s strongly affective nature, which produces such strong bodily sensations and emotions that reflexivity is bypassed in favour of a behavioural or cognitive solution that assuages the intense feeling most immediately. Olfactory disgust, therefore, tends to result in rejection, while harmful forms of olfactory desire may result in sublimation or subjugation. My thesis is particularly attentive to tensions and ambivalences that complicate the typically bifurcated affective spectrum of olfactory experiences, drawing attention to (dis)pleasurable olfactory relations that have socio-political utility. I argue that olfactory fiction is not only an arena in which olfactory logics can be instantiated, but also a laboratory in which possibilities for new kinds of relations and connections can be fostered and tested ... OK, that's about enough of that Marxist drivel. The fact that a PhD was granted for this -- and that Louks' thesis wasn't laughed out of the university -- is everything wrong with higher education. We're surprised a couple dashes of colonialism and antisemitism weren't thrown in, but we're sure that's in the full dissertation even if they didn't make the abstract. And as a PhD candidate and now a 'doctor,' Louks isn't just studying this poisonous ideology, she is teaching it to other students. Not just Fart Studies, but Intersectional, Oppressive Fart Studies. Maybe the faculty just awarded her the PhD so they wouldn't have to read through 150 pages of the stench. If Louks had attended Harvard or Stanford and not Cambridge, we wouldn't be surprised if she demanded that all other Americans pay off her student loans for her. And they wonder why credentialism has been completely destroyed ... when they were the ones who destroyed it. The puns and analogies wrote themselves. It wasn't difficult to figure out who Louks' faculty advisors probably were or what they looked like. She checked off all of the boxes on the woke checklist. We're sure she also wrote at length about how smells are sexist. Oh, it's already far too late. People have weird hobbies. And if Louks wants to pursue her hobby of being obsessed with how smells -- and not actual smells, just the written descriptions of smells -- make her a victim, that's fine. But it shouldn't be sanctioned by any educational body. If Louks' dissertation was a Monty Python sketch, Graham Chapman would have stepped in halfway through the abstract to put a stop to it. Sadly, these days, the surviving members of Monty Python might agree with the dissertation's premise. How far they have fallen. In all seriousness, however. we're grateful in a sense to Louks for showing everyone on Twitter yesterday how utterly corrupted even our once-finest educational institutions have become. It lets us know how much work we have to do to dismantle the ivory tower of complete and utter Marxist bullsh*t they have built up over the past couple of generations.

Biden Regime to Let Migrants Skip ICE Check-Ins President Joe Biden’s administration is “silently” rushing to roll out new policies that would make it easier for migrants to enter the U.S. illegally. A report in the New York Post indicated that the outgoing administration intends to launch an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office. Insiders raised concerns and warned that the move is a “half-baked” plan that will lead more asylum seekers to abscond. The app, which is set to be launched soon in the form of a pilot program in select cities, will allow the millions of illegal migrants released into the U.S. to await their asylum proceedings and check in with immigration officials on a phone or computer, two sources familiar with the app revealed. Department of Homeland Security sources told The Post that the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable. Even when it’s working correctly, the new app doesn’t check for past arrests or outstanding warrants – something the current system tied to in-person appointments does, sources said. That’s just one of a handful of initiatives being pushed through before inauguration day – including allowing migrants to contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking while they await their immigration appointments. cont...

Elite nyc neighborhood hit by rampant crime. The Upper West Side has devolved into a Wild West atmosphere where anything goes, terrified crime victims and neighbors begging for more cops told The Post. Criminals are more emboldened than ever in the ritzy nabe — with robberies soaring over 30% compared to last year — and carjackers so brazen they flashed their guns without concern on consecutive Sundays in broad daylight. “I have never felt so scared in this neighborhood the way I feel now,” one of the carjacking victims told The Post this week. ... And recent, random violence — an 81-year-old woman was sucker-punched while walking on West 66th Street and a 55-year-old Danish tourist was randomly stabbed on West 86th Street — has neighbors on edge. So much so that many in the famously liberal neighborhood — which reportedly donated the most dough to Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign in the five boroughs– are imploring the NYPD for more law enforcement.

SO AWESOME. GOOGLE NAZIS GOING UNDER. If Google were a ship, it would be the Titanic in the hours before it struck an iceberg—riding high, supposedly unsinkable, and about to encounter a force of nature that could make its name synonymous with catastrophe. The trends moving against Google are so numerous and interrelated that the Justice Department’s attempt to dismantle the company—the specifics of which were unveiled Nov. 20—could be the least of its problems. The company’s core business is under siege. People are increasingly getting answers from artificial intelligence. Younger generations are using other platforms to gather information. And the quality of the results delivered by its search engine is deteriorating as the web is flooded with AI-generated content. Taken together, these forces could lead to long-term decline in Google search traffic, and the outsize profits generated from it, which prop up its parent company Alphabet’s money-losing bets on things like its Waymo self-driving unit. The first danger facing Google is clear and present: When people want to search for information or go shopping on the internet, they are shifting to Google’s competitors, and advertising dollars are following them. In 2025, eMarketer projects, Google’s share of the U.S. search-advertising market will fall below 50% for the first time since the company began tracking it. CONT... Googling is for old people.
