New York Times to Fire Fighters: Drop Dead

The New York Times is in a spitting snit over NY fire fighters being used to "sell" programs, issues, and candidates:

It's time to wonder whether New York's Bravest are overexposed and overexploited.

Politicians will go the extra mile to rub elbows with them. President Bush went to Queens to get the endorsement of the city's rank-and-file union leadership before he appeared at the G.O.P. convention. Senator John Kerry, who has won the endorsement of the fire officers' union, sounded a siren for them during the debate last week, when he decried that firehouses were being opened in Baghdad while they were being closed in New York. It hardly mattered that more firehouses aren't needed in New York. It's the symbol that counts. ...

New Yorkers don't admire their firefighters for their political savvy or keen judgments on economic development. We look to them for one thing, to be there when they're needed for real emergencies. And that doesn't include being pitchmen for the latest product in need of a hero.

You can imagine my shock and suprise, then, when I noted that the Times had dutifully reported the so-called "Jersey Girls" liberal claque's endorsement of John Kerry, and yet, for the life of me, I have not yet been able to find Gail Collins telling them to mind their own business and go back to their real jobs (vacuuming, bakin' cookies, watching Dr. Phil, etc.)

I'm sure that the New York Times editorial page will chastise the Jersey Girls for using their public sympathy to influence debates in which they have no genuine expertise.

Any. Minute. Now.

Firefighters and cops have jobs that involve medium to low-hazard deadly risk. Less risky than truck-driving, traveling salesmen, commercial fishers, ironworkers, loggers, helicopter pilots, farmers, oil rig workers, heavy construction, and so on. And get huge "line of duty" benefits denied soldiers and others in gov't and private industry.

Even the NYTimes gets it right now and then. It is as wrong for firefighters to whore themselves out advertising for store promotions, restaurants where they get freebies as it would be for an active duty soldier trading in on his uniform to sell used cars in battle gear.

I blame long-time cop-worshipper Giuliani for creating a 9/11 Victim's Heros vs. Zeros mentality. "They rush towards danger, while cowardly ordinary zero citizens trying to flee can only genuflect in awe of their heroism".

As for the "Jersey Girls", Dorothy Rabinowitz gave a good essay on how they are really perceived in the NYC metro area - self-promoting media whores out to push their personal agenda, shouldering aside other victim's families. The two worst are Kristin Breitweiser, Monica "Bush and Giuliani are Murderers" Gabrielle, and Sally Regenhard, also known as Sally Blowhard.

Does the Times care how deeply these few self-promoting bitches are reviled in the NYC Metro area, and by many of their fellow 9/11 families? Of course not! Journalistic integrity in impartial reporting 3 years after 9/11 is outside the NYTimes political agenda sphere. Hence their promotion of Kerry, claiming the Jersey Girls (5 of 2,782 victims) are the true spokespersons of 9/11, firefighters as America's Greatest Heroes, and David Libeskind as the "Healing Architect of America".

The NYTimes is as trustworthy as CBS...no maybe more, since they lie daily.

After threatening that the "clock is ticking" for renewed strikes on Iran, Trump once again calls them off to give negotiating a chance.
I can't even cover this any more. It's embarrassing. It's like covering the endless negotiations over DHS funding. Trump is going to drag this out through the midterms and then lose them.
Note to the president: At some point, allowing the Regime to remain in power without actually forcing them to give up nukes is just a back-door, unacknowledged renewal of the Obama policy.
Well, I guess we just have to wait for their economy to collapse and their troops to desert.
Mayor Karen is so stung by fan-made AI ads that she's resorting to the shitlibs' go-to demand for an end to criticism -- these ads are "violent" and "hateful" and making me feel unsafe because one video showed AI cartoons throwing tomatoes at me and the tomatoes looked like blood when they squished
This was her actual complaint. The mushed-up tomato looked like blood so it's a death threat and these violent attacks on me must stop. What is dis bitch, CNN?

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust.
Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
