Not all bad news! Baskin-Robbins' Shocking New Re-Branding Campaign

I’m sure the Rainbow Troopers are already preparing to descend upon Baskin-Robbins’ wildly hateful new campaign, and the ice cream maker will soon be forced to release more “inclusive” marketing. But in the meantime, I think the rest of us know what to do!

 Baskin-Robbins' Shocking New Re-Branding Campaign – PJ Media

"In a shocking move, mega-ice cream seller Baskin-Robbins has re-branded itself for 2022 — and neglected to include any obnoxious, in-your-face woke themes in its new marketing! No parade of rainbow creatures, no pant-suited feminist mascots, no underdogs bravely standing up to America’s racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, xenophobic system. There’s nary a victim nor a woke hero to be seen. It’s almost eerie.". . .

. . ."The absolute gall of these people! Don’t they realize that somewhere, a transgender first-grader isn’t being celebrated zealously enough by xir 6-year-old peers? That black people were enslaved and mistreated? That there are billions of poor people in the world who have yet to be welcomed into the United States and given free smartphones, medical care, food, education, and housing? That white supremacists lurk around every corner, COVID still exists, mean tweets might be a thing again, and there’s a buzzsaw of a war on the other side of the world that we aren’t yet tossing our kids into??? How dare Baskin-Robbins be so innocently cheerful!

"But you don’t know true dystopian terror until you’ve  seen their new ad:". . .

2017 Clip of 'Morning Joe' Host Claiming Media's Job is to 'Control What People Think' Makes the Rounds (townhall.com)  "Back in 2017, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski provided, with a straight face, a stunning moment of honesty about what the aim of the mainstream media is. She warned that then-President Donald Trump was "trying to undermine the media, trying to make up his own facts" and that "he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think," as she went on to insist "that is our job.'

Embracing the Permanent: William F. Buckley and Populism

 Embracing the Permanent: William F. Buckley and Populism › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

In embracing the permanent, one may be unfashionable, but one is never out of date.


"I never heard my friend William F. Buckley, Jr., opine about the merits or deficiencies of “populism.” But I often heard him discourse about the virtues of liberty and the political, social, and moral liabilities of the Left-liberal consensus. In my view, what we call “populism” was an important ingredient in liberty as WFB understood it. That was the point of one of his most famous mots. “I’d rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory,” he said, “than by the 2,000 people on the faculty of Harvard University.”

"Was this wealthy and sophisticated gadfly pulling our leg? Was this Yale man just guying his rivals in Cambridge?

"I don’t think so. Buckley, who died in 2008 at 83, did as much as anyone to make conservatism intellectually and (just as important) socially respectable in the United States. He was too urbane and too verbally nimble to be dismissed as another troglodytic tobacco-chewing throwback. (For one thing, Bill took his tobacco in elegant little cigarillos.)

"Nevertheless, he had an abiding appreciation of the wisdom of the people and a corresponding suspicion of the elites, especially in their overbearing, Potomac-fever incarnation. “I rejoice in the influence of the people over their elected leaders,” he said on that same occasion, “since I think that they show more wisdom than their leaders or their intellectuals.” 

"The fact that a man of Buckley’s pedigree could prefer a promiscuous sampling of the census rolls to the educated tony-ness of Harvard not only offers us insight into his own political filiations: it also offers us some lessons about some contemporary political controversies. 

"What would Bill Buckley have thought about Donald Trump and his “America First” platform?". . .

CNN's Brian Stelter about to get the boot?

 Monica Showalter

SOURCE(S): "Brian Stelter's days are numbered with the network." Discovery management "very much considers him a Zucker henchmen and embarrassment" and believes he is "a negative partisan lighting rod and distraction going forward"


"It should have happened a long time ago.

"But, well, it's happening now.

"Brian Stelter, the television "journalist" who's the suck-up's suck-up in an industry full of stenographers, prevaricators, and teacher's pets, may now be on his last legs at CNN.

"According to USSA News:

After the Warner Brothers/Discovery merger, there was a focus on what partisan crap Fake News CNN has become. One of the people who makes Fake News CNN the least trusted name in news entertainment is our favorite genderless Potato head content creator Brian Stelter. Rumor has it his days are numbered. At least, according to reporter Jon Nicosia.

Nicosia's past credentials include Mediaite and Washington Examiner. His sources are the ones breaking the bad news, stating Discovery management "very much considers him a Zucker henchman and embarrassment" and believes he is "a negative partisan lighting rod and distraction going forward.". . .

. . ." Now that there's no Cuomo to make into the billy goat, Stelter is grasping for straws, sucking up to someone, anyone, within his vicinity, particularly Jen Psaki, who will now be working soon at MSNBC.  Can you imagine Stelter not wanting a piece of that, too, particularly with his job on the line at CNN?  It certainly would explain his latest round of suck-up behavior.  CNN will benefit from his absence."

 BRIAN STELTER FLAILS AS COLLEGE FRESHMAN CONFRONTS HIM ON CNN’S ‘DISINFORMATION’ ON HUNTER BIDEN, RUSSIA HOAX

"They push the Russian collusion hoax, they push the Jussie Smollett hoax, they smear Justice Kavanaugh as a rapist, and they also smeared Nick Sandmann as a White supremacist. And yes, they dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop affair as pure Russian disinformation," Phillips said.
