Gutless Wonders

 

Happy Monday to all!

Today we are looking at guts. Stones, cojones, balls, huevos – but mainly just in the sense of having a spine and taking a stance.

Now, I was never a fan of ol’ Yassir Arabfat (as an old acquaintance called him) – he was one deep-dyed evil sumbitch But you knew he was a DDES. He never changed his stripes, never stopped being a DDES, and certainly didn’t change his stance just because people didn’t like what he said. Putin is like that too…may he rot in hell, but may he continue in hell as the aforementioned DDES. Not rooting for him at all, but at least you know where a DDES stands. Look at Fatty da Kim, or maybe the Ayatollahs. All DDES and proud of it. You know if you shoot any of ’em, you’re putting down a mad dog and the world is a better place.

But… there are others. The snakes in the grass.  Possibly they are more evil, because they change what they say and rationalize to  try and make it all sound better. They are a pain in our respective asses, right? They will never warm the cockles of our hearts, or even below that, in the sub-cocklear region?

Climate activist Greta Thunberg posted then deleted a pro-Palestinian post on X following some backlash.

Early Friday morning, the 20-year-old Swedish activist posted a since-deleted photo of herself and three other activists with signs that read, “Free Palestine,” “Climate Justice Now,” “This Jew Stands With Palestine” and “Stand With Gaza.”Moments later, Thunberg deleted it and shared a nearly identical photo — the same four people holding the same four signs — this time with the stuffed animal cut out of the photo.

“It has come to my knowledge that the stuffed animal shown in my earlier post can be interpreted as a symbol for antisemitism, which I was completely unaware of,” she wrote in an accompanying post. “The toy in the picture is a tool often used by autistic people as a way to communicate feelings.”  Fox News

Worried about a stuffed anti-semetic doll but thinks the Hamas attack is OK?  There is some seriously twisted “thinking”.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called out Coca-Cola on his podcast this week for supporting Black Lives Matter after the organization’s Chicago chapter posted in a now-deleted X post a picture of a paraglider with the text “I stand with Palestine” — a reference to Hamas terrorists who paraglided into an Israeli music festival and slaughtered hundreds of attendees.

After the October 18 episode of The Verdict with Ted Cruz, Coca-Cola — which owns Sprite — deleted its language on its website the following morning.  Fox News II

Wouldn’t want to offend the buyers now…

And then we have BBC. Once an icon of distinguished journalism, now no better than the former journalists masquerading as mass media in the US.

This comes as it is confirmed the BBC will no longer call Hamas “militants”, but instead characterise the Palestinian group as “a proscribed terrorist organisation by the UK government.”

The BBC has spent the past fortnight defending its decision not to use the term “terrorists” to describe Hamas, in line with the regulator Ofcom’s guidelines on maintaining impartiality. However, it has come under increasing pressure to ditch the term “militants, with a BBC spokeswoman confirming: “We have been finding this a less accurate description for our audiences as the situation evolves.”  Deadline

I guess “baby-beheaders ” may be considered perjorative?

Honorable mention goes to the jet-setters who fly private jets to climate conferences and whine about the adverse impact jets have on the world, but say “it’s OK because I am a good guy. I preach about climate change and only bathe once a week to save water” or some such claptrap. Names like Kerry, DiCaprio, Gore, maybe Travolta come to mind.

Maybe Tuesday won’t make me throw up in my mouth… but I’m not betting on it.
