LA Times: Men Are Cowards - Women Wearing T-Shirts Are the Real Heroes

1 week ago | redstate.com | Jim Thompson

At some point in my morning routine, I browse the Los Angeles Times. When I freelanced for the Times as a sports cartoonist I considered that a career highlight. As early as I can remember reading, I would read the LA Times. It was a matter of habit. A habit I’m about to break. Yesterday, I saw and reluctantly read another political opinion column penned by a sportswriter.
Izzy's Been Busy - Newsom's Comms Director Is a Nasty Name-Calling Man-Child

2 weeks ago | redstate.com | Jim Thompson

Last night I got a two-page email from a close relative. His political stripes are just left of Lenin. His thought process is based on whatever gaslighting leftist conspiracy theory he’s picked up off social media. If you assume that this article will burn that familial bridge, it won’t. He burned that bridge last night. I was excoriated for things I never did. Things I never said. He added “f**k you Republican!!!!” I’m not a registered Republican, by the way, and I don't discuss politics with him.
A Marine's Memories From WWII

2 weeks ago | redstate.com | Jim Thompson

With society seemingly collapsing, with a senator play-acting, with so much angst, I thought I’d drop two excerpts from my dad’s WWII memoir to lighten the day. He was a Marine during WWII. Below are two interesting stories from “downtime," in their original writing. ______ HEADED TO GUAM (PRE INVASION) A pleasantry not afforded to enlisted Marines was having a meal in a stateroom with tablecloths and nice cutlery and China. That privilege was strictly for officers.

Unending Sophistry of Leftists Gaslighting About the 'Mostly Peaceful' Riots

2 weeks ago | redstate.com | Jim Thompson

Microsoft’s browser “Edge” has its pros and cons. Mostly cons. And the pros are related to the cons. So, a lot of cons. Why do I mention Edge? The “stories” Edge pitches at me are almost always nonsense narratives, pushing faithful leftist causes. The last few days, Edge has been a fountain of nonsense about the LA riots – mostly chiding people (like me) for believing our lying eyes. What you've seen on TV and social media? It isn’t real. It isn’t happening or something.
Active-Duty Navy JAG Outed on X As a Leftist Nut After Threats Against ICE Agents

2 weeks ago | redstate.com | Jim Thompson

As the ICE riots raged in the city of Los Angeles, I wasn’t too far away physically. We live in an LA County suburb. Far enough away where it was peaceful, but close enough that I could get to the riot epicenter in short order. I frankly wondered: "Could some online nut dox me?"Why? Because, in between rounds of golf, I posted replies to leftist nonsense. Brian (Tater) Stelter told his five CNN viewers that most of LA wasn’t on fire. The new “mostly peaceful” fire comment. I replied.

While the completion at Fox has stomped on their collective necks, the two alternate reality left-wing networks have persisted.

You gotta admire the effort. MSNBC and CNN both deserve trophies. While the completion at Fox has stomped on their collective necks, the two alternate reality left-wing networks have persisted. CNN and MSNBC are like youth soccer teams who went 0 for forever in May. They deserve our attention, if only for the collective lack of attention by the viewing public. Give them both pats on their heads and a slice of orange and tell them they tried their best – there's always next month.
Harvard Sacks 'Honesty' Professor, for Being Dishonest

1 month ago | redstate.com | Jim Thompson

My perception of “experts” and data took a precipitous turn soon after COVID lockdowns forced us to wear masks and hold six feet of distance between each other. Cops were chasing down surfers for riding the waves without a mask. Open-air parks were shut down. We were told that “data” was behind the “six-foot” distance narrative. That, however, was just a myth. It was created by a teenager who made it up for a high school science project.
