I think it’s good that they hunted down that guy who said Let’s Go Brandon and tried to destroy his life. In a democracy we simply should not be allowed to talk about our political leaders that way. Besides, the Left has never shown any disrespect towards Republican presidents.
I distinctly remember the media and all leftists demonstrating an enormous amount of respect and reverence for the office of the presidency during the Trump years. They were models of dignity, restraint, and decorum.
Who can forget Kathy Griffin holding the severed head of the president in an effort to show how much she respected the president. She loved and respected him so much that she wanted to carry his head around with her. Truly an inspiration.
I remember Robert De Niro earning a standing ovation for saying “Fuck Trump” during the Tony awards. His respect for the office of the presidency was so deep and profound that he even wanted to have sexual relations with the president. We should all aspire to such reverence.

Took the kids to see Spider-Man. Expected it to be bad but it was worse than I thought. These movies have no stakes at all, not even a whiff of suspense or narrative tension. Every problem is solved with miraculous technology or magic or some other deus ex machina device.
[spoilers] A supervillain from a previous film can be turned good with a contraption that a kid whips together in a lab out of scrap metal in three minutes. A wizard can fly in to brainwash the world if that helps. Multiverses and time warps are utilized if the narrative requires
A superhero can stop a train with one hand in one scene but then be knocked unconscious with a simple punch to the head in the next. The rules are rewritten depending on what the writers need for each scene. It’s lazy and boring. Fun for kids but this is shit filmmaking, folks.
I'm not one to defend Amazon but much of the criticism surrounding the tornado deaths at their factory seem to be coming from people who don't understand tornadoes. Amazon was right to keep the employees in the warehouse and not send them home. That's standard safety protocol.
You don't get into a car and drive during a tornado warning. My wife was out grocery shopping last year when a tornado warning came in and they made everyone stay in the store. Once there's a warning, it's too late to leave. You stay put.
The warehouse should have had some kind of storm shelter. If it didn't then you can certainly blame Amazon for that. But the whole "they made them stay" thing is totally normal procedure and everyone who has been through a tornado warning knows that.
Do me a favor everyone and tweet @AskTarget and ask them why they pulled Johnny the Walrus, which is simply a delightful bestselling children's book about an imaginative young boy who likes to play pretend
We have reached out personally but gotten no response
My children’s book Johnny the Walrus was taken off of @Target’s website but they won’t tell us why or explain the decision. They say it’s “under review” but refuse to share review guidelines. Lack of transparency makes it look like they’re just searching for a reason to ban it.
Hi @Target. Can you tell us why the book was placed under review? What standard or policy is it potentially in violation of? These seem like fair questions.
It’s literally a book about a kid pretending to be a walrus. Is make believe now prohibited for children’s stories?
The Daily Beast has published a claim from another conservative author that I "stole" Johnny the Walrus from her. I'll address this once. It's not even close to true and it's sad that she's decided to run to a left wing rag to hit a fellow conservative.
My wife suggested to me that I write a children's book about a year ago. We came up with the Johnny the Walrus concept together months before this other book came out. I have plenty of documentation that can prove that. I signed a contract with DW last spring
The book took a while to come out because DW hadn't launched its publishing imprint yet. In the meantime, her book was released. I wasn't upset. I'm glad there are other conservative books on the market addressing this topic. Is there only supposed to be one? Really?
