Gee, who believes TNYT anymore? About six weeks ago, I subcribed to their puzzles for the cheapo introductory price of $1.99 a month for a year, which can be cancelled at any time.
The Wordle bot is always affable, and what I suspect is its homosexuality and desire to get at me has never effused the slightest hint of an imminent attempted incursion.There are several excellent articles online about the TNYT's puzzles.

Nat'l Guard was also sent to the South during the civil rights marches in early 1960s IIRC. And I also remember Nat'l Guard in Watts riots in mid-60s, I grew up in L.A.
Great article, Mr. Bray, I LOVE the way you tell us exactly how you feel about this! You made some great points here, too.
Jeff Childers said it best: “So instead of meeting Trump in the “make people feel safe” lane, Dems have parked themselves in the “save democracy from Trump” lane, while voters are still looking over their shoulder walking home from the Metro.” The Regime media has no cogent or logical response to ‘make people feel safe in their Nation’s Capitol’ so ALL they have left is ‘Trump is a fascist doing something that’s NEVER EVER been done before.’ They know they’re lying and that we know they’re lying, and that we know they know they’re lying, yet still they lie.
The tactic is surprisingly brilliant: force Democrats to defend the indefensible. And they haven't just fallen for it once: they keep falling for it over and over and over again.
They can't help themselves. The idea they are now organized around is "resist Trump." They have backed themselves into a corner where they HAVE to oppose anything that Trump supports. If Trump says curing cancer is good, the Democrats have to defend not curing cancer. They are figuratively doing the meme where Trump says "Oxygen is good" and they put a plastic grocery bag over their head.
Maybe we know they’re lying but what about the poor guy that grew up watching Big Bird on PBS and then ingested a steady drip of All Things Considered on NPR?
I had to sit silently through a chorus of praise for NPR. I so wanted to point out all the lying they have done and continue to do. But my friend choices are extremely limited.
Well you could put on a skeptical expression during the, NPR is so great, session and then apologetically say something like,” Sometimes it seems like their reporting is a little slanted toward the more liberal side of the political spectrum , but of course it’s obviously correct even though it makes me wonder if anyone in the entire national network of NPR has ever voted for a single conservative candidate.”
More unhinged drivel from the beacon of drivel. I remember as an 11 year old during the Detroit riots of 1967, peering out the living room window and seeing National Guard troops chasing a car on our street, literally firing tracer rounds at the vehicle. But yeah, unprecedented or something...
It’s past time to refer to the NYT as a beacon drivel. It’s not drivel they publish. Following up on the quote from Alexander Solzhenitsyn above, they know they are lying. They know that WE know that they are lying. And yet they still lie; intentionally, knowingly, purposefully, and with ill intent to our republic.
Hate to say this but I know people who write this sort of crap you can read in the NYT and, at least the ones I know actually do believe this crap, they are that far gone. In person I have witnessed their Bad Orange Man meltdowns. I don't know how much longer they will be with us, however, they have all taken multiple shots of the righteously wonderful Dr. Fauci approved cooties juice. They are trying, and failing badly, to make sense of their world.
I miss the good old days when one didn't need an account/login to go to (Reid Hoffman's) LinkedIn and get a gander at the onan-circles of the sort of Lugal's Scribes you refer to. (They all refer to each others' work, which made it convenient for sussing out little subnetworks.)
These are people who have spent their entire lives honing their sycophancy--back to middle school (when with their parents' prodding they were already Volunteering and Winning Essay Contests in preparation for applying to the wokenest academies, with an eye on college already in kindergarten).
It's all they got for maintaining their priestly status in the cult of Gooder Than Thou. Without exaggeration, it is their only skill set. If they don't believe their own hypnobabble they literally, absolutely got NUTHIN. Less than NUTHIN, as you say, given they are starting to realize that choices have consequences that GooderThink can't change.
I'd much rather they stay with us, but with some more sense. Some of them are my relatives and old friends. They exasperate me, they are dangerous in their delusions, but I don't wish them ill.
Oh, come on now. "Beacon of drivel" is absolutely lovely and etymologically akin to Inspired Poetry. Don't listen, bugs. The New York Shining Snot Signal That Muddies is perfect.
drivel(v.)
Old English dreflian "to slaver, slobber, run at the nose," from Proto-Germanic *drab-, perhaps from a PIE *dher- (1) "to make muddy, darken." Transferred meaning "to speak nonsense" is mid-14c., driveling being characteristic of children, idiots, and dotards. Related: Driveling, drivelling.
beacon(n.)
Middle English beken, from Old English beacen "sign, portent, lighthouse," from West Germanic *baukna "beacon, signal" (source also of Old Frisian baken, Old Saxon bokan, Old High German bouhhan); according to Watkins it is probably from Proto-Germanic *baukna- "beacon, signal," from suffixed form of PIE root *bha- (1) "to shine."
I was there in Detroit as a kid, we lived on Butternut near Trumbull, a few blocks off Grand River Avenue. I remember sitting on the front steps of the apartment and seeing the glow in the sky from the fires on Grand River. Never saw the Guard but one night about a dozen cops circled our building because a sniper had been reported. Wasn’t likely, it was only a 2 story building pretty far from the excitement.
The left no longer needs any sort of underpinning logic or history for anything it does. As in '1984' there is only the present; there is no past, and no future. So for them, it is perfectly 'logical' to be FOR a thing on Monday, and AGAINST it on Tuesday, both times citing 'Saving our Democracy'. The 30-60 year-old single women who are just about the only Democratic voters left (pun intended) have no problem marching, chanting, and screaming at the same volume (and the same chants, usually) on both days.
Well, you might pause and ask why they are this way.
I mean it couldn't possibly have anything to do with deep-seated frustrations around the past 60 years of living downstream from 50 years of mass slaughter and maiming of at least four generations of the most fit, healthy, brave, intelligent white men (i.e., the war drafts of 1915 to 1965). And then, while naturally yearning for the chads who never got born because their chadly forefathers were slaughtered at the Somme, Iwo, Pork Chop Hill, and Khe Sanh, and then the sandboxes...being expected to mate with the downbred mating pool of 4Fs, and the Hart-Celler replacements, and the physically and mentally maimed.
These are literally haunted women, and while they are a plague and a trial, mocking them without understanding is siding with those who slaughtered tens of millions of the best of men for all the bankers wars. What was it Ron Paul observed, about how the century of central banking was also the century of total war? It was war on women as well. That's not something you'll ever get from academic (((feminism))).
IMO it's not even third world level crime, it's more like jungle behavior. In fact, animals are probably more polite than the criminals in N.Y., animals mostly abide by the law of the jungle - if you don't bother them, they won't bother you unless they're looking for dinner. But they don't go around killing animals just for fun.
A mink will kill for sport. Ask anyone with poultry or small livestock who's seen the aftermath of a mink attack, it looks like casualties on a battlefield, bits of bodies everywhere. Ask me how I know.
I am told that weasels and stoats do much the same; they slaughter anything that's moving but don't eat most of it.
Raccoons will do this too in my experience. I don't know that it's "sport."
Ages ago I had passed along to me by a vet professor (who studied scrapie/TSE/TME in mink) several articles suggesting there is something in either blood or something else in the prey's bodies that amps up the "attack everything" hardwiring.
I knew a very old and wise organic cash grain farmer who insisted that mink and coons got much worse in this behavior after larger row crop farms replaced smaller ones, with their concomitant widespread spraying of nerve agent pesticides. A sort of neurological roid rage. Given what we know about the behavioral effects of those substances on humans, that makes sense, especially considering that these small ground animals who travel through or around crop fields are likely to be heavily exposed, plus any natural/wild prey are likely to add to the exposure.
That farmer said that he had to amplify his hen house fortification exponentially with the upturn in this extremely aggressive behavior, even though not much had changed in the area. I.e., it wasn't like there was a downturn of habitat, even with the farms' concentration into fewer hands. The weasels and coons just got more intense in both breaking in and attacking for no obvious reason.
Your chickens have a piece of my heart if they experienced a stoat/etc. attack. Truly nightmarish stuff.
That's really interesting and totally believable. Toxins do weird things to people and animals. Around here, however, there just aren't any large row crops or large farms either; what's not rural residential property is largely forest and a few, long-since abandoned, hay fields. I do know the owners of a couple of large tracts of nearby land who still hay their property, they're neighbors, but none of them sprays anything more than cow manure. Which, on a warm day, is quite enough. ;)
I lost ten hens and one gorgeous rooster (a Derbyshire Red Cap, a rare breed) to a mink that got into one of our chicken pens. It was horrifying to see the resulting carnage. As the mink had tunneled into the pen and managed to get past our obviously insufficient protection, I dug up all 300 square feet of that pen - with a broken ankle, no less - installed layers of hardware cloth and replaced the dirt. We also hired a pair of Embden geese to live with the chickens as protection and early warning. It's been a couple of years and so far, so good.
I have to admit that I’ve never read the times. It’s some kind of inbred aversion to anything anyone tells me is smart. But a few years ago , I read The Grey Lady Winked , jam packed with a vomit inducing history of feeding crap to the population. Pravda in English. Anyone else ?
This is what winning looks like. We are winning, they are whining. Ignore them. Laugh at them. Dismiss them as the clowns they are. Mock them. We should never make our case to them. Just tell them, "Sorry, I can't hear you because I'm lifting or running or winning or making money or learning or doing anything other than paying attention to you."
I finally muted some noisy boomer on Facebook the other day. Retired female medic SGM, non deploying of course, who the ran the state VA program for years. Nearly unintelligible English comes from her mouth--DEI in 3-4 categories, including a rainbow, minority, female--always, always, always losing her shit about Trump.
I haven' responded 98% of her followers all echo her mindless sentiment--which mirrors this asshat writer from NYT--so it is just an invitation to hate filled posts and attacks.
It finally dawned on me that she was stealing my joy, so I muted her. Mute NYT (I know you cannot Chris--you wade into the morass for us and show us the detritus)--but the rest of us need to simply ignore them and go about being happy.
I think they are being careful to write just enough to agitate the standard Dem but not quite enough to suggest immediate arrests, lawsuits, etc. Yes, that’s the one place he can control more directly as needed.
Calling this click-hungry, word-churning clown a “halfwit” is giving him/her/they way too much credit!
Anyone who holds Milley, an officer who went behind the back of his CinC to tell the enemy that he would let them know if an attack was imminent, as an example of responsible military leadership really hasn’t got a clue!
It’s a well-known fact Sunny Jim, that 25,000 National Guard troops in January could totally shift seamlessly from destroying an enemy on the battlefield whereas 800 in August are just going to go berserker and everyone dies. Duh. Science: Might want to follow it?
These NYT idiots reveal their ignorance of the military. Most soldiers are not combat infantry. Some like MPs are indeed trained in constabulary duties, and it just so happens it's an MP unit that's being deployed to DC.
Yep. Top-to-bottom dumb. The obvious point that Marines and other soldiers might not make good urban cops when flown in for the weekend—something anyone with more than two sticks to rub together can work out—is erroneous here and exactly the misdirection one expects from an increasingly ignorant and dishonest media. Was the Google machine broken when the 20 year-old intern typed in “National Guard”? Did not the very name, National + Guard, offer some kind of roadmap to cognition?
If I remember my history correctly, lots of little cities across the US had National Guard Armories built in them after the Bonus Expeditionary March encampment was broken up. We have one in a town near us. Wikipedia says there are currently 2,700 armories across the nation.
I’m fairly sure that the reasons for so many national guard armories were specifically to maintain control over the population in order to prevent any disorder like the Bonus March.
The whole of the Democrat strategy for a communist takeover of the US is to deny they've ever done anything they're accusing the Republicans of doing, even thought they're probably doing it right now. Rules for Radicals. The Constitution allows the President to federalize DC in specific circumstances. This meets that requirement. If you can't understand or just don't want to you're part of the problem.
The Constitution specifies that DC is inherently under federal control. A few decades ago, a 'home rule' policy was put in place to allow the city to be managed by a municipal government. The outcome of that policy has been a complete and utter failure.

Sarcasm points to you!
Sealand expects every man to do his duty.
Like
Isn't the Guard STILL in the NYC subway?
In fairness, they may just be trapped by the flooding
Hahaha
😂🤣😂🤣
Proving that NYT writers haven’t been in the subway in years.
Wrong
I was just going to say the same thing.
It’s even more nauseating to listen to people repeating this nonsense, as if there actually is an unprecedented crisis, as long as NYT says so.
Pearl-clutching at its finest.
Gee, who believes TNYT anymore? About six weeks ago, I subcribed to their puzzles for the cheapo introductory price of $1.99 a month for a year, which can be cancelled at any time.

New York Tass.
The word RAPED is not allowed in wordle. They claim it doesn’t exist. Same with the other word games. They censor the dictionary at the NYT.
You are lying.
It doesn't surprise me that they wouldn't allow it. It would surprise me to learn they say it doesn't exist.

Great article, Mr. Bray, I LOVE the way you tell us exactly how you feel about this! You made some great points here, too.
Totally organic, this comment. Like many of these.
You could not have shit out s more retarded comparison.
After 9-11? A lot like big balls getting beat up by two high schoolers, partly - because the cops interrupted.
Jeff Childers said it best: “So instead of meeting Trump in the “make people feel safe” lane, Dems have parked themselves in the “save democracy from Trump” lane, while voters are still looking over their shoulder walking home from the Metro.” The Regime media has no cogent or logical response to ‘make people feel safe in their Nation’s Capitol’ so ALL they have left is ‘Trump is a fascist doing something that’s NEVER EVER been done before.’ They know they’re lying and that we know they’re lying, and that we know they know they’re lying, yet still they lie.
I think they have parked themselves in the pro-crime lane.
Under the school of thought that anything, however stupid, is better than giving Trump credit.
The tactic is surprisingly brilliant: force Democrats to defend the indefensible. And they haven't just fallen for it once: they keep falling for it over and over and over again.
They can't help themselves. The idea they are now organized around is "resist Trump." They have backed themselves into a corner where they HAVE to oppose anything that Trump supports. If Trump says curing cancer is good, the Democrats have to defend not curing cancer. They are figuratively doing the meme where Trump says "Oxygen is good" and they put a plastic grocery bag over their head.
“Cancer Has Hidden Benefits. Here’s Why”
So when will Trump say "Oxygen is good"?
I think he should just for a good laugh, I think he would really do it.
You describe them perfectly.
And they've been parked there for a long while now. The maggots.
I believe your thoughts are closest to the truth. They're all about the crime.
Maybe we know they’re lying but what about the poor guy that grew up watching Big Bird on PBS and then ingested a steady drip of All Things Considered on NPR?
Explains why they can’t count higher than 12.
I had to sit silently through a chorus of praise for NPR. I so wanted to point out all the lying they have done and continue to do. But my friend choices are extremely limited.

50 ways to lose a "friend". They're very sensitive here. Of course, I'm not supposed to be.
Cute comment, but I am sure she would see through it.
I only did one of those things.
Bert and Ernie were my favorites, though the Aliens who were fascinated by the telephone was funny.

I too see a lot of fearsome clinging to sinking status rafts.
Hopefully, they won't be with us much longer.

Unfortunately it seems a large number of blue voters are ignorant of history or just brain dead.
How else does one defend supporting third world level crime?

I love it, pure gold that sentence. Thank you for putting this whole thing perfectly in perspective!
I just say “get some more boosters” and walk away
The media "forgets" to mention the federal government is in charge of DC.
It's one of those "too obvious to mention" things that apparently needs to be mentioned.
Speaking of the federal government, has anyone seen Eleanor Holmes Norton? One would think she’d have an opinion on this.
I think they are being careful to write just enough to agitate the standard Dem but not quite enough to suggest immediate arrests, lawsuits, etc. Yes, that’s the one place he can control more directly as needed.
Oh yes, Mark Milley. A solid representation of military leadership. 🤡
NYT encouraging officers to refuse or subvert orders. After all Milley got away with you can too!
Ffs
Calling this click-hungry, word-churning clown a “halfwit” is giving him/her/they way too much credit!
Anyone who holds Milley, an officer who went behind the back of his CinC to tell the enemy that he would let them know if an attack was imminent, as an example of responsible military leadership really hasn’t got a clue!
Yes! He should have been gotten rid of immediately! (As in firing squad for treason.)
Walter Duranty is all anyone needs to know about the New York Times. Walter Duranty is all anyone needs to know about the Pulitzer Prize.

Strong, strong recommend for "Mr. Jones". Should be easily found streaming.
HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR HITLARRRRR!!!

The obvious point that Marines and other soldiers might not make good urban cops when flown in for the weekend—something anyone with more than two sticks to rub together can work out—is erroneous here and exactly the misdirection one expects from an increasingly ignorant and dishonest media. Was the Google machine broken when the 20 year-old intern typed in “National Guard”? Did not the very name, National + Guard, offer some kind of roadmap to cognition?

Edward was there. Give him a break.
If I remember my history correctly, lots of little cities across the US had National Guard Armories built in them after the Bonus Expeditionary March encampment was broken up. We have one in a town near us. Wikipedia says there are currently 2,700 armories across the nation.
AFAIK, we still have one here and, I think, so does the next closest town of size.
I’m fairly sure that the reasons for so many national guard armories were specifically to maintain control over the population in order to prevent any disorder like the Bonus March.
We're talkin' media here.
So reality and/or truth have no relevance.
The whole of the Democrat strategy for a communist takeover of the US is to deny they've ever done anything they're accusing the Republicans of doing, even thought they're probably doing it right now. Rules for Radicals. The Constitution allows the President to federalize DC in specific circumstances. This meets that requirement. If you can't understand or just don't want to you're part of the problem.
The Constitution specifies that DC is inherently under federal control. A few decades ago, a 'home rule' policy was put in place to allow the city to be managed by a municipal government. The outcome of that policy has been a complete and utter failure.
