Once again, Mr. Straddle-the-fence Brooks is actually taking a side, this time decisively on the side of Isreal’s brutal revenge war on Gaza. His question is what else are they supposed to do? And he may be right, they have no alternative. And just as inevitable may be the unintended consequences, such as losing world support for the idea of Israel. The Israelis have to pray their American Sugar Daddy does not go broke.

I always take notice when a rare article on the Imperial Valley appears in the MSM, since that is where I emerged from the earth. Today a columnist in the NYT talked about beautiful Bombay Beach,on the shores of the Salton Sea, an ongoing environmental catastrophe. Apparently even there there is a small cultural community. But I think you have to be insane to live there. Brother and Mother of Dredd still live in El Centro but I don’t know how. Then again, I don’t know how anyone lives in Phoenix. Frankly, they make El Cajon look like Paradise.

Today’s whine from Mr. Douthat (my whine is in another thread): smartphones my be behind the drop in birthrates, which is allegedly bad. That’s a theory, anyway. The logic of that claim is convoluted, so I won’t try to sum it up. Maybe this is the first phase of the AI evolution that will make families obsolete. And maybe they should be. By the way, where I live seems to be swarming with children.

Today’s Neo York Times has a mega-whine directed at speaker Johnson to prod him to speed more aid to Ukraine to continue the bloody war. Once again they bring up the Neocon dogma of “America’s credibility is at stake”, the same hofsehi%t that war hawks used back when they were looking for young men to die in Vietnam on a foolish cause. They are finally acknowledging that the war is not going in NATO’s favor, and if we just give them more shite they can turn the tide. Really, it’s sad seeing the NYT so desperately beg for Congress to save the Neocon schemes. Of course it’s not their sons and daughters that are dying.

Meanwhile, the NYT has a horrid-hitting investigation into Chinese doping at the Olympics. Talk about sticking your neck out. China bashing is always safe and fun, especially in something as inconsequential as sports.

The credibility of the NYT is rapidly deflating. It’s going-ho support of Zelensky’s war and Netanyahu’s brutal invasion off Gaza has exposed its’s Neocon biases. What else is it lying about?

Today the NYT has a China bashing column arguing for separating TikTok from China. Why is the NYT jumping on this bandwagon? Their credibility just sinks lower ever day.
