Zawahiri was droned at the home of NY Times contributor

"And the other one is for my nose"

The birdcage liner known as the New York Times has no problem publishing material from the enemies of the West, and particularly our nation's enemies.

For instance, Haqqani, the deputy leader of the Taliban, is on the FBI's most wanted list for his alleged involvement in the January 2008 attack on a Kabul hotel that killed six people. Yes, the New York Times published him anyway. After all, it wasn't as if he killed hundreds of people, just a half dozen.

Allie Griffin of the New York Post, August 3, 2022 wrote a story titled: “Al-Zawahiri killed at home of Taliban lackey New York Times gave platform to.” 

She wrote that Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed at the home of an FBI-wanted Taliban lackey who was once given a platform by the New York Times. 

But the paper is no stranger to fabricating stories that are, well, stories and have a poor relationship with the truth.

For starters, let's take the Holodomor famine in Ukraine and the work of "reporter" Walter Duranty. He served as the paper's Moscow bureau chief from 1922 to 1936. Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for his stories involving his denial of widespread famine in Ukraine, because that's what Communists tend to do when they need to defend Mother Russia. His most infamous lies were about the Holodomor, the famine in Ukraine in the 1930s.

And let's not forget the anti-American "1619 Project" by Nikole Hannah-Jones. She won the support of the New York Times and won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel pretending to be fact.

The Pulitzer Prize has become a leftist joke.

Finally, in 2003, after the Pulitzer Board started a renewed inquiry, the Times hired Mark von Hagen, a professor of Russian history at Columbia University, to review comrade Duranty's work and found it to be uncritical, unbalanced and basically genuflected to Stalinist propaganda. Von Hagen told the press, "For the sake of The New York Times' honor, they should take the prize away."

The Times' coverage of the Holocaust was another black eye for the so-called paper of record. 

In "Buried by the Times" by Laurel Leff, published in 2005, the paper buried in the back pages stories about the genocide of European Jews and they avoided mentions of Jewish victims of persecutions, deportations, and the death camps. Of the 23,000 stories the Times published between 1939 and 1945, half were about the war, and of these, only 26 mentioned the Holocaust.

In the documentary Reporting on The Times: How the paper of record ignored the Holocaust, past editors of the newspaper stated that there was a conscious decision to bury the paper's Holocaust coverage.

Then there's the issue of plagiarism by Jayson Blair, an African American. The New York Times admitted that one of its "reporters" committed serial journalistic fraud over several years time. He resigned after the incident.

The final case I'll make is the Duke University LaCross case from 2007 whereby the paper basically accused the players of rape before the case was adjudicated. Former Times ombudsman, Daniel Okrent, admitted the Times was bias in their coverage of the case and said,  "It was too delicious a story. It conformed too well to too many preconceived notions of too many in the press: white over black, rich over poor, athletes over non-athletes, men over women, educated over non-educated. Wow. That's a package of sins that really fit the preconceptions of a lot of us."

So that's just the tip of the dung heap the Times has dumped on the public.

The fact that al-Zawahiri was staying in the home of Haqqani and that the New York Times allowed this POS to contribute to the paper, should tell you something about their morals. Sirajuddin Haqqani, a senior Taliban official, owned the Kabul home.

The New York Times published an op-ed piece by Haqqani in 2020 to ask for a peace agreement between the US and Afghan leaders. Not only did outside critics bash the paper for giving this crap weasel a platform to spew his propaganda, even the papers' own reporters  were pissed.

And now the New York Times is stealth editing to leave out this little tidbit of information as to where Zawahiri was blown to kibbles and bits.

The FBI is offering up to $10 million for information leading directly to Haqqani's arrest.

According to one race hustler, if you tip your waiter, you're a racist


Eeny meeny miney mo is racist. Everything nowadays is racist, especially if you're a white man who identifies as a man and maybe is also religious. At least that's what race hustlers tell us because that's how they make their money.

Certain words are labeled racist. Math is racist. Grades are racist. And things that aren't racist are homophobic, transphobic, and for that reason, are also racist anyway.

The non-historian of "The 1619 Project" is now claiming that not only is America racist [she seems to have never left the country and checked out other countries, particularly those in the Middle East and Africa] but tipping waiters is racist. 

Her name is Nikole Hannah-Jones and she is an actual racist, albeit a shrewd rich one who has made a career throwing the word 'racist' around like a campus frisbee, and has demonized everyone who refuses to fall in line with her anti-American leftist crap.

When she wrote "The 1619 Project" in 2019, she rewrote history to depict America as an evil, racist country and that level of racism still exists today. Hannah-Jones presented her outhouse worthy book as the “true founding” of America, and makes the claim that America exists only because of slavery. She discounts all of the gains we have made since our founding because it's financially beneficial for her to do that in order to sell books and crappy ideas that tear at the fabric of America.

And the trouble is, if you criticize her, guess what she calls you.

So she sees the founding of America when the first slaves were brought here in 1619, not when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence or penned the Constitution and ratified it. 

Actual historians eviscerated the falsehoods asserted by Hannah-Jones, starting with the claim that 1619 was our “true founding.” The New York Times quietly changed that lede, removing the reference to “understanding 1619 as our true founding.”

She also claimed that the Revolution fought against the British was not for freedom from their tyranny, but to preserve slavery, a total fabrication to fit her racism narrative against white people.

Hannah-Jones won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel, but not for literature. It was for commentary for her essay in 2020. This should tell you all you need to know about the value of the Pulitzer Prize. Since winning it and being rewarded for her balderdash, she has become quite active on social media, posting a lot of garbage on Twitter.

Last November, she accused America of nuking Japan because America had spent a lot of cash on the bomb. According to Hannah-Jones, Japan was about to surrender but America dropped a nuke on Hiroshima anyway. Why? We built an expensive tool (A-Bomb), so why not use it?

“You’re the only one who poorly understands history,” she tweeted. “They dropped the bomb when they knew surrender was coming because they’d spent all this money developing it and to prove it was worth it.”

She offered no proof, no references, no other reason other than the synaptic strands of goo in her brain. 

The race hustling hater soon deleted her tweet but caught hell online from both sides of the aisle for her historic ineptitude.

Hannah-Jones believes that everything can be traced to racism, and American slavery, in particular. Every aspect of human existence can be traced to America and not just racism but white racism because it’s the only racism that exists. 

The only reason anyone cares about Ukraine, she posits, is because Ukrainians are white.

Now this idiot wants convince you that tipping a waiter or the guy delivering your new fridge is racist. At the very least, it’s traced back to American slavery and that, of course, makes it racist.

A depressed person sees everything as sad. An anxious person sees everything a danger. A racist sees everything as racist.

If you leave a tip for your waiter, you're a racist, so now you can feel good about yourself instead, and be a cheap a-hole by stiffing the wait staff.

Easter Sunday Brain Flushings

PETA is upset over the White House lawn Easter egg hunt and suggests that Moochelle consider using plastic eggs instead of the ones that hold little baby chicks inside. Even though the little baby chicks are not viable chickens, PETA believes the symbolism is more important than the facts.

Syria's Assad is still in power in spite of Obama's call for his resignation two years ago, and in spite of his predictions that he will be gone soon. Now it looks like Assad has won and Obama is weak. Ya think?

Peter King (R-NY) and secret financial supporter of Ireland's IRA, may want a run at the 2016 election. King, a graduate of Notre Dame, actually sounds like he attended a community college and dropped out. But that doesn't mean he's not sharp. One thing I like about him is his approach to terrorism. He actually believes it exists and it's inspired by Islamic ideology. Good for him. Will he make a good president? I think we'll never know.



More bodies have been found in the South Korean ship disaster. Nothing is sadder than kids dying and this is a terribly sad story. Over 50 bodies have already been found, but there are still hundreds missing. At least the captain and crew made it off safely. (That's sarcasm.)

And the Pulitzer goes to . . . the Washington Post and Guardian for the Ed Snowden story. It doesn't matter that these papers divulged sensitive secret intelligence that should prove very useful to our enemies, the important part is that they won the most coveted prize in journalism. I can see Josef Pulitzer smiling in his grave as I write this.

Jews in Mariupol, Ukraine have been told to register their personal information or risk being deported. Neither the Russians nor Ukrainians are taking credit for this, but I hope it is as disturbing to you as it is to me. With Russia invading Crimea, there are nostalgic chills of 1939 all over again. To tell a group of citizens that based upon their religion, they must reveal personal data or be kicked out of the country, is unconscionable.

Chelsea Clinton is pregnant. She is expecting her little leftist to bolster grandma's popularity even more for the 2016 presidential election.


Harry Reid called the Bundy Ranch supporters "terrorists." Ibrahim Hooper, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) commended Reid, "Now we finally know who the real terrorists are, and they don't shout "Allahu Akbar." Harry Reid has done more to help the Islamic cause than any other American.

At least 3 people are dead in a shoot-out at a checkpoint in eastern Ukraine. The Russians are blaming the Ukrainians and vice versa for breaking the truce. Ukrainians claim the pro-Russian separatists are being controlled by Moscow and it looks like they're correct. I have no doubts that the Russians will plod on with their invasion of Ukraine and Obama will continue to condemn Russia with the promise that he will continue to condemn them with words. My question is: will the Russians eventually claim that they have to go into Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, New York, to protect the Russians from American oppression?

Happy Easter Sunday.
