Wintour of Our Discontent
The irony of it is that we’re still living in the thick of so many of the left’s bad ideas and policies. Biological boys are still excelling in girls’ sports, and every Democrat in the Senate voted against a law to stop it. I could go on, but let’s look at how the media is reacting to The Donald’s Second Coming.
A New York Times columnist who is among the very few not suffering from a nervous breakdown after the last election wrote: “I think parallels with Nazi Germany are overdrawn; the word fascism may likewise muddy more than clarify. America won’t become North Korea, but we could look more like Hungary.” He then predicted with great assurance that Trump will go after checks and balances, will crush independent referees and civil society institutions, including the media, and will recruit shadowy private enforcers to intimidate critics.
As I said, this bum was the least anti-Trump among the paper’s motley crew, one that eerily reminds me of early Nazi propaganda back in the ’30s. To his credit, the bum did not specifically state that The Donald is being fitted for boots and a German military uniform. In The New Dentist, formerly The New Yorker, the editor David Remnick, unlike the Times man, does not hold back. Like his old man the dentist, he drills and drills like a deranged orthodontist on speed, probably dreaming he’s got The Donald open-mouthed on his chair. “In record time he has brought shame and disorder to the country.” I first thought he was referring to Sleepy Joe, but no, he meant the tall blond one. The dentist’s offspring then goes after Musk: “He flashes a smile of privilege and malice.” He means Musk, but it sounds as if he’s talking about his old man after a tooth extraction. Remnick then goes on to predict we will end up like Turkey—the country, not the bird—and prays that working-class folks will see the light sometime soon.
“Anna Wintour, who was born working-class, now acts as if she were to the manor born.”
What I find amusing is that those who scream the loudest about working people’s concerns are the least likely to know anyone who works and does not live off a Newhouse charity called Condé Nasty. Never mind. There are phonies and there are phonies, but the phoniest of all are those who scream the loudest about working-class people’s rights but can hardly say hello to the elevator operator in their posh building. Go to a Condé Nast office and see for yourself. Anna Wintour, who was born working-class, now acts as if she were to the manor born, but some of us are unfortunately old enough to remember her when she was hustling back in rainy old London. Wintour hates Trump, but she’s known for having said good morning to elevator operators. At times, that is.
Wintour’s loathing of Trump has brought him the luck needed to reach the highest office, of that I’m sure. Otherwise, my crystal ball tells me that the D.C. elites—fraudsters who oversaw waste, fraud, and graft, and used the federal budget as a kitty bank—will try to take revenge on the house cleaners, namely Trump and Musk. The federal bureaucracy is as crooked as they come, and the N.Y. Times is its guardian. A lot of powerful people are going to see their livelihoods curtailed, and they’re not going to go quietly. In will step the Times and The Washington Post with hit pieces on Musk that will get some fools to believe that DOGE is overdoing it. There will be lots of reaction to the Trump-Musk alliance, and even talk of calls for the military to depose Trump and arrest Musk, such is the despair of the entitled elite.
They’re squealing like pregnant penguins, the little darlings, but such are the joys of overdoing it. Musk is cleaning the Augean stables of bureaucracy, and there’s nothing the little darlings can do about it.
