Now They’re Ankle-Biting Taylor Swift

I’m totally sick of seeing Taylor Swift’s picture everywhere. Here’s a nice little spring peeper instead.

You just can’t appease the Far Left Crazy.

Look at Taylor Swift, the omnipresent pop diva who’s backing SloJo Biden for president. You’d think the FLC would sweep her into its arms and kiss her.

But a co-founder of Black Lives Matter, a college professor (what else?) of Pan-African “Studies” at Cal State Looniversity, has attacked Swift’s fans as racists, and called the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory “a right-wing, White-Supremacist conspiracy.” A Chiefs’ player is currently Swift’s boyfriend, so that makes the whole thing racist (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/blm-los-angeles-co-founder-claims-being-taylor/). Somehow. Don’t ask.

How do these people keep it together, when they’re always snapping at each other’s ankles? Is there a notion floating around that someday one of these grievance cults will dominate the others, just one–and they all want to be that one?

They don’t even like their own celebrities. Go figure.

You Just Can’t Win

Maybe it really is a metaphor for life.

A friend of mine, back in the 1970s, got a grant from the university to publish a magazine called “Popular Culture.” The first thing we did was to hold an organizational meeting, open to all. Forty or fifty people showed up for it.

The next thing was to create an editorial staff. “We don’t know any of you,” we told our audience, “so what we’ll do is this: Anyone who wants to be an editor can be an editor.” Six or seven people took us up on that.

My friend was troubled. “We don’t have enough black people on our editorial board,” he said.

“But we offered editorial positions to anyone who wanted one,” I said. “We rejected no one! What could be fairer than that?”

But he was still unhappy with it. “If you’re going to turn this into some kind of affirmative action exercise, you can count me out,” I said. So we went with what we had and managed to generate two issues before my friend, now a publisher, lost interest and let the whole thing fold.

I thought it was a pretty cool magazine. We had articles on professional wrestling as a metaphor for life (my article), Carlos Castaneda (remember him?), Kojak, game shows, etc. The editors did their best, and it was pretty good.

Nowadays I suppose we’d be branded White Supremacists and the self-appointed people’s tribunal would come gunning for us.

Lesson: You just can’t please some people; and it’s a waste of time to try.

Cutting Us Off from Our Past (Continued)

President Barack Obama 29"H Solid Bronze Bust Statue Special Edition Limited Time Offer NEW! Bronze Statue for Sale + Free Shipping - World of Bronze

Of course it’s a bust. His whole presidency was a bust.

The jackasses running the schools in Waukegan, Illinois, want to change the name of Thomas Jefferson (you know–the guy who wrote the Declaration of Independence) & Daniel Webster Middle School and rename it after Far Left fat-heads. Barack and Michelle Obama were the first names that sprang to what they like to think of as their minds (https://abc7chicago.com/waukegan-public-schools-barack-and-michelle-obama-thomas-jefferson-middle-school-daniel-webster/10459946/).

Well, hell, the kids weren’t going to learn anything about the Declaration anyway, were they?

But of course there’s no pleasing the Wokies; so now they’re “protesting” renaming the school after that pair of cranks because–get this–those Obamas didn’t do enough for “the undocumented community”! Gasp! So all the–what? what’s that word?–all the “Latinx”–didn’t they use to be “Latinos”?–are bellyaching over it.

Thomas Jefferson has to go, though. He owned slaves. Never mind that it was hundreds of years ago. The Wokies are offended! If it means getting rid of the Declaration of Independence, that’s a small price to pay!

Ah! Y’know, every single day of that Obama presidency insulted and offended me–and we all just had to suck it up, didn’t we? When all he ever was, was the Racist in Chief. His legacy is the fomentation of racial animosity. He did more to drive people apart than anyone ever did to bring them together. Well, even a schlub like Obama can manage to do evil.

But, see, the public doesn’t own the public schools. If the people who paid for them actually owned them, you’d see some really big changes. But that’s one of those things that Democrats will never allow to happen.

‘Feminists: Pumpskin Spice Latte is Racist’ (2017)

It magically turns you into a racist!

Remember this? Starbuck’s pumpkin spice latte was “racist”. Because feminists said so.

Feminists: Pumpkin Spice Latte is Racist

Funny, though, isn’t it? Starbuck’s embraces every stupid Far Left “cause” that comes down the pike–and they still get nailed. You just can’t satisfy any of those people.

I think it’s because they really enjoy being offended and angry, and even the slightest excuse will do. And of course you can’t appease people who don’t want to be appeased.
