Reflections From a Murky Pond

New York Times columnist David Brooks is and has been an avowed enemy of America and the American People, but given him some small measure of credit. He is a rarity among his kind. He’s an honest enemy who has no fear or compunction about boldly stating what his fellow “journalists” should do or how far they should go to destroy America’s future and usher in their Democrat Dystopia. For this mercy should be granted to/upon him.

Recently, Brooks slammed leftist, lamestream media outlets and the Democratic Party for failing to find a winning strategy to sink the popularity of former President Trump and remove him from political discourse.  Yes, that is right. Brooks lambasted his fellow anti-American leftists for not using their platforms to destroy our electoral processes and what future there is for American democracy.

Those of us in this establishment correctly identified Trump as a grave threat to American democracy. The task before us was clear. We were never going to shake the hard-core MAGA folks. The job was to peel away independents and those Republicans offended by and exhausted by his antics.

The two most honest and equally chilling and important words in his rant our “the job.” [highlighted in quote] Those two words blatantly and unashamedly tell the world that David Brooks believes that the job of the media is to destroy President Trump and remove him from the political arena. And,by extension, those two words demand that the lamestream media decide who will be allowed in said arena and to hold political office.

To state so openly that the “press” should through any vestige of journalistic ethics aside is amazingly honest of Brooks. It’s rare to see anyone in the media speak the truth instead of hiding behind the lies of being sources of legitimate information and/or unbiased recorders of the events of the world. But, to state something so heinous so easily is also shows an amazing level of entitlement since Brooks obviously believes it safe for him to make such a statement and call to arms for all the world to hear.

And, My Fellow Americans, it’s not a good sign that Brooks feels safe enough to be so honest in public.

According to even the strongly Left-biased Politico, reporters of all stripes are discontent with White House Press Secretary. Karine Jean-Pierre’s seemingly utter incompetence and inability or unwillingness to answer questions in anything resembling a coherent and substantive manner.

“At a certain point it wouldn’t surprise me if people started voting with their feet,” one White House reporter told POLITICO, predicting the lack of news from the briefings could result in waning attendance of reporters.

“She is so focused on not making a mistake that she doesn’t let herself speak freely,” another reporter said. “A lot of her responses end up becoming… it appears that she’s reading from a page.”

Frankly, I just don’t understand their apparent shock at this or their willingness to complain publicly about it. Jean-Pierre is just a mentally damaged, foreign, Black, lesbian. That is, insofar as the Biden Administration is concerned, all that she is. She’s a diversity hire, one that ticks almost all of the right boxes for their agenda. She’s just a token, exactly like Kamala Harris is. And, just like Harris, Jean-Pierre is largely left unsupported and largely unsupervised because her holding her position is what is important, not her being able to successfully fulfill the duties thereof.

In actual point of fact and in an act of total disrespect for her and the role she’s been placed in, simply because she’s just a token diversity hire, those who normally ensure that the Press Secretary is up to speed, may not trust her abilities enough to do their jobs.

And that, My Fellow Americans, is perfectly normal. Anyone who’s had to deal with diversity hires has learned to the need to- and how to work around them and mitigate the damage that they’ll do. So, the Press shouldn’t be shocked by Jean-Pierre’s performance at all.
