Repulsive opportunist Alyssa Farah Griffin has flip-flopped on so many conservative positions that even other NeverTrumpers like Bill Kristol, Tim Miller, Jonathan Last, Jim Swift, Rick Wilson and Jen Rubin are taken aback.

"What changed?" Hochman asked. "For one thing, Farah was on the cusp of securing a CNN contributor contract, and was auditioning for Meghan McCain's former spot on The View. Right around the same time, she began to emerge as an increasingly loud critic of the GOP."

Griffin has also flipped on election fraud, as Hochman pointed out. She previously defended President Donald Trump's "concerns about across the board mail-in voting w/o reason," and even acknowledged concerns about Pennsylvania officials "putting their thumb on the scale," plus "irregularities and fraud" and the potential for a "rigged" Georgia runoff. More recently, however, Griffin called election fraud the "Big Lie" and framed herself as "a Republican who has consistently said, 'it was not stolen, we lost.'"

As Hochman said, Griffin's more recent comments don't line up with what she said about Trump in the past. She once described him as "a remarkable man" and "a strong leader" and said she was "smiling so wide because I was just excited to see him" the first time they met. More recently, Griffin said she didn't "[drink] the Kool-Aid for five years" and that she "didn't have any illusions about who the president was."

"It's increasingly difficult to find an issue where Farah *hasn't* changed her position," Hochman tweeted.

Griffin went from using Beto O'Rourke's name as an insult to "talking politics backstage at The View" with him. She said Miles Taylor's anonymous New York Times op-ed confirmed that "Never Trumpers" were "trying to thwart POTUS" but later joined him for an anti-Trump conference call. She went from praising Trump's "leadership" on Covid to saying he "politicized the hell out of this virus." She chalked up an accusation that Trump refused to condemn right-wing extremism to a "former disgruntled employee being ineffective at their job" and then said she had counseled him to "wake up every morning and condemn white supremacy."

"Farah claimed that 'at no point in my entire life was my goal to be on TV and be a talking head,'" Hochman tweeted. "But it's hard to see her political transformation as anything other than an audition for the mainstream spotlight. She got the spotlight--but at what cost?"

And now she's earned her reward. This skank has been chosen to pretend to represent the "conservative" point of view on ABC's Aging Yentas With Floppy Gunts Yell For an Hour.

Gawker wrote another trashy and completely false story about a sworn enemy, and this enemy is seeking legal advice about suing them. And hopefully ending them, this time for good.

Mark Zuckerberg will be trimming the fat at FaceBook and Meta, further undermining Putin's Job Creation Boom.

Note the strange question from a lazy worker about whether special days off for, I guess, stress and "self-care" granted during the covid lockdowns would continue... post-covid.

This asked during a speech announcing that people were going to have to increase their performance if they wanted to keep their jobs.

Mark Zuckerberg failed to conceal his annoyance with an employee who asked about vacation days during a meeting in which the Meta CEO revealed plans to cut underperforming workers, according to a report.

During a companywide Q&A meeting on June 30, the Facebook boss warned a recent market slump "might be one of the worst downturns that we've seen in recent history" as he explained the reasoning behind the cost cuts.

During the virtual session, Zuckerberg reportedly "appeared visibly frustrated" after one Chicago-based employee asked whether "Meta Days," or extra time off introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, would continue in 2023.

"Um ... all right," Zuckerberg said after hearing the pre-recorded question, according to a recording obtained by The Verge. "Given my tone in the rest of the Q&A, you can probably imagine what my reaction to this is."

In the same meeting, Zuckerberg revealed that Meta would be implementing higher standards for its employees -- and cutting ties with those who were unable to meet the new performance threshold.

"Realistically, there are probably a bunch of people at the company who shouldn't be here," Zuckerberg said.

I hate Zuckerberg -- obviously -- and I think people should have vacations and I think workers should ask about their own compensation and vacation packages.

But asking if "days off for covid" will continue post-covid?

Yeah, fire that guy.

A new prequel novel from Kathleen Kennedy's house of Fake Star Wars content reveals that Obi-Wan Kenobi was bisexual or gay.

They pull this trick every week in Marvel and DC Comics -- [X] character who's been around for 60 years is now gay! -- so why not in Star Wars?

No one cares about any of these properties any longer so they should just cut right to the chase and make them all gay. That is the ultimate goal, why slowplay it?

"Honest Citizen Here" -- hundreds of bots repeat the identical message about Biden being a good president.

More Honest Citizens here.

Possibly a parody -- legions of "Honest UK Citizens" want to know why people won't give Boris a chance, using the identical language as the Honest Citizens who support Biden.

Noted Fartclam Model Hope Solo confesses her alcohol problem.

Former US women's national team goalkeeper Hope Solo reflected on her challenges with alcohol in a lengthy statement on Instagram, calling her DWI in March "the worst mistake of [her] life."

Solo, 40, said she "underestimated what a destructive part of my life alcohol had become" in a statement posted Monday -- the same day she pleaded guilty to driving while impaired with her 2-year-old twins in the car.

"It's been a long road, but I'm slowly coming back from taking time off," Solo wrote. "I pride myself in motherhood and what my husband and I have done day in and day out for over two years throughout the pandemic with two-year old twins. While I'm proud of us, it was incredibly hard and I made a huge mistake. Easily the worst mistake of my life."

The worst mistake of your life was the decision not to get anal bleaching.

His Master's Voice:

Kamala announces her pronouns, and also adopts the trendy new leftist habit of describing yourself so that the blind know what you look like. Strangely, this always involves specifying hair color and what color clothing you're wearing, even though many (most?) blind people are blind since birth and don't know what these color terms really mean.

Thank goodness Kamala doesn't describe how she smells.

In the feelgood story of the day, a cis-lesbian -- I'm sorry, this is going to be one of those kinds of stories -- set up her "transbian" friend -- a "transbian" is a male transexual who pretends he's a female lesbian -- on a date.

The date was with another transbian.

But the transbian friend wasn't told the date was with a transbian. He thought the date was with a real woman.

And he was angry that he'd been tricked into going out with... a tranny.

So, despite transexuals' claims that no one should be "prejudiced" against transexuals and that we shouldn't favor one actual sex as far as mating preferences -- that, they say, is just "dating a set of genitals instead of dating a person" -- we see from this story that transexuals themselves are in fact prejudiced against transexuals, and themselves have a specific set of genitals they want on a dating partner, and get angry when they're set up with a fake woman who has either a fake vagina or a penis.

Which we should all have known anyway, because otherwise, they wouldn't be so insistent on dating non-transexuals. If they had no particular preference for normally-gendered people, they wouldn't pressure normally-gendered people into dating them. They would just shrug it off and date other transexuals.

But they don't.

Oh, brother: Bradley Cooper is "dating" Huma Abedin.

Bradley Cooper is... quite an actor, huh?

Maybe they can double-date with Cory Booker and Rosario Dawson. What a foursome they would make.
