The Rogan critics virtue signalers have their own garbage histories, lest you forget

Falsetto singing geriatric virtue signaler, Neil Young along with someone named Joni Mitchell, have left Spotify because Joe Rogan has guests on his Spotify program with whom they disagree and claim they spread "misinformation." 

The real reason they left is their need for relevance at a time when people under 40 may have not even heard of them. Others have followed in their footsteps.

Young said that if Joe Rogan is on Spotify, then he is leaving the platform. This caused no less than ten people to feel distressed. Mitchell, who is best known for a song, one can imagine, is also using this opportunity to get her name out there and maybe sell a few vinyl albums, if they still exist.

Spotify has been under fire for not censoring "The Joe Rogan Experience," which has been accused by critics of spreading COVID "misinformation," according to people who have already done just that and have changed their information to a newer version of misinformation. But since they are on the Left, no harm, no foul. 

Young gave Spotify an ultimatum to either choose him or Rogan, like a child who threatens to take his ball home if the other kids don't change the call. But Spotify has struck a $100,000,000 deal with Rogan so they basically flipped the old folks off. [Not that the First Amendment means anything, of course.]

The stance of the 76-year-old falsetto singer inspired others, with better voices, to follow suit, including the 78-year-old Mitchell, who never speaks about the time she wore blackface.

Yes, both Young and Mitchell have their own history of controversy, as do many others on the Left.

During the height of the AIDS epidemic, Neil Young went after the gay community with a Fauci-sounding claim that anyone can contract AIDS just going to the grocery store. He also made a homophobic slur, possibly to take the onus from himself as he sounds like a woman when he sings.

"You go to a supermarket and you see a f--got behind the f--kin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes," Young said in a 1985 interview with Melody Maker.

And then there's phony Joni Mitchell wearing blackface at a 1976 Halloween party. She went dressed as a "pimp-like character" and described as a  "svelte black man in a zoot suit with matching chapeau, meticulous afro, wide moustache and big, dark shades."

Mitchell said she was dressing as her alter ego "Art Nouveau." This had been an ongoing character for the singer. "Nouveau" was on the cover of her 1977 album "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter."

The left loves to virtue signal but it's unearned virtue.

"I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard (when) a [B]lack guy walked by me with a diddy-bop kind of step, and said in the most wonderful way, 'Lookin' good, sister, lookin' gooood'," Mitchell explained the inspiration for the costume in a 1988 interview with Q Magazine. "His spirit was infectious, and I thought, I'll go as him. I bought the make-up, the wig… sleazy hat and a sleazy suit and that night I went to a Halloween party and nobody knew it was me."

In an interview with New York Magazine in 2015, Mitchell said "When I see [B]lack men sitting, I have a tendency to go – like I nod like I’m a brother… I really feel an affinity because I have experienced being a [B]lack guy on several occasions."

So she identifies as a Black man in a woman's White skin. I don't believe her.

Joni Mitchell made up as a pimp

If you're on the Left, you can get away with this crap. Look at Whoopi Goldberg who did not see Hitler's attempt to exterminate the Jews as a racial issue. Unlike Roseanne Barr, who also made a racist tweet about Barack Obama. Goldberg [not her real name--she appropriated it] got a 2-week suspension while Barr was fired and suffered greatly afterward.

Kylie Jenner

So Neil Young can sing in falsetto "Rocker in the Free World," but it's just a song and he doesn't believe in the words, only the money the words made.

Pelosi: Va. scandals are how we roll

House Speaker Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D-CA) poo-pooed the notion that all the Democrat scandals coming out of Virginia is any kind of big deal on the party's national brand.

Fox News' Chad Pergram asked the dentured Democrat, "With everything that's been going on with Virginia, the governor, the attorney general here ... does that filter down and damage the national Democratic brand in any way?"

"No, it does not," Pelosi responded. "They will resolve — the Virginians will resolve their issues, ooh my dentures, there we go, that they have there. It's sad because they have some very talented blackface leaders and a possible sexual assaulter there, but they have to have the confidence of the electorate and they have to have the confidence of the legislature that they have to work with and so on and so forth and such like that. But I'll leave that up to them. I have enough to do here without getting involved in the affairs, no pun intended insofar as Mr. Fairfax is concerned, of Virginia."

All three statewide elected Democratic officials in Virginia are up to their eyeballs in scandals, centered on either wearing blackface or two, so far, sexual assault accusations against Justin Fairfax, the Lieutenant Governor.

Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) started the wave of lesser scandals when a photo surfaced last Friday showing a man in a Ku Klux Klan hood next to a man wearing blackface. The photo was included on a page dedicated to Northam in his Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook. Northam apologized for the photo at first, but then during a press conference, denied he was one of the individuals in the photo. 

The bigger scandal was Northam's approval of infanticide. In fact, it's quite possible that the blackface scandal was a way of deflecting from the acceptance of murder, but this got lost in the message the GOP needs to focus on. Northam matter-of-factly described on radio how after a baby was delivered, it would be made comfortable while the mother and abortion doctor discuss whether to kill it or not.

Justin Fairfax (D) faces a sexual assault allegation by Vanessa Tyson, an associate professor of politics at Scripps College in Claremont, California, came forward publicly as the woman accusing Fairfax of sexually assaulting her in 2004 at the Democratic National Convention. Fairfax has denied the allegation, saying he and the woman were intimate in a consensual way during the convention. 

Fairfax released a new statement on Wednesday whereby he continued to deny the allegation but also stated that women don't make such allegations "lightly." The statement came before NBC reported Fairfax said "f**k that b**ch" when talking about Tyson in a private meeting. Fairfax's chief of staff has denied his boss used that language in reference to Tyson but he's a liar too.

A second allegation came to light afterward. Meredith Watson and Fairfax both attended Duke in 2000 and the two were friends but not romantically or sexually involved. She alleges that he assaulted her and that it was "premeditated and aggressive." She kept emails to her friends at the time about the incident. Fairfax may be toast.

It is not known whether Fairfax also wanted someone to "f**k that b**ch," but if so, it will be denied.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring admitted Wednesday he too wore blackface for a college party back in 1980. He apologized for his actions and called it the "greatest shame" he has ever felt.

When Northam's scandal broke days before, Herring called on the governor to resign. Herring said he would have conversations with leaders around the state to determine if it makes sense for him to continue serving as attorney general.

All three officials have yet to give any sign they will resign their post.

And then there were four as we discovered when Va. Rep. Bobby Scott, we learned, knew about the sexual assault allegations brought by his friend, Vanessa Tyson, because she told him in 2017 what Fairfax allegedly did to her, and he did nothing about it.

But the next person in line to take over the Virginia governorship is a Republican and the press, which is a wing of the Democratic Party, will do all it can to protect the party.

So Pelosi isn't worried. Northam will probably stay and maybe Fairfax will go because of the #MeToo movement. It's politics, folks. It's all about votes and power. Scott, I suspect, will be forgotten along with Herring.

But one thing for certain, the Democrats will not bow to morals or ethics because it would mean having to give up the governor's seat.

I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
