Hayward Loses His Sh!t, Over A Vanity Fair Send Up?! It Must Strike Close To The Bone…

We have repeatedly established Hayward’s Neo-KKK bona fides.

[The fact that he cannot secure a mainline, tenured position at any more respectable university is proof that his brand of racism has been toxic — over decades — to his career, such as it is. So he is relegated to writing opinions for the NY Post, and Washington Examiner.]

Hilarious — and proof that karma… is indeed a wheel.

This morning he was incensed that VF decided to nail both Musk and DeSantis — by calling the whyte hoods as she sees ’em.

I do imagine David Duke is available — but Musk is the deepest pocketed racist on the planet. So DeSantis knows exactly where to go, to get his bread buttered, here.

And I think Hayward’s bleating about it all… is mostly a deflection against what he sees… in himself, late at night, three or more whiskeys in.

Again — that is… as they say… some rough justice.

Cheers, Steve.

The Injunction Against Unconstitutional “Public Dancing Bans” In Tenn., Will Be Permanent In a Few Days’ Time.

The Volunteer State’s lawyers essentially conceded at the bench trial (which concluded yesterday) that local prosecutors cannot save the statute as written. So the preliminary injunction, state wide remains in full force. [Note especially here that the statutory ban on dancing in public only applied to men who put on make up or a dress. All other dancing in public was… okie-dokie!] Here’s that opinion, as a backgrounder, and a bit:

…The United States Constitution — a law that is supreme even to the Tennessee General Assembly’s acts — has placed some issues beyond the reach of the democratic process. First among them is the freedom of speech. If Tennessee wishes to exercise its police power in restricting speech it considers obscene, it must do so within the constraints and framework of the United States Constitution.

The Court finds that, as it stands, the record here suggests that when the legislature passed this Statute, it missed the mark….

I would expect that by a few days after Memorial Day, we will see a USDC opinion and order making the injunction permanent, state wide.

So ends GOP Gov. Bill Lee’s silly grandstanding, against his own drag performances in 1977, at Franklin High.

Hilarious.

Mirengoff Takes Up Ted “KKK” Cruz’s Despicable Rhetoric On NAACP FL Advisory — But Bernice King Is STILL Correct.

So… ever the one to try (largely preposterously, I might add) to claim “reverse racism” (i.e., anti-whyte), Paul hops right to it, this evening — on the Florida NAACP travel advisory.

We wrote on this when Hinderaker made many of the same guttural grunts, a few nights ago.

But we will reset it, here with a new graphic, just for Paulie.

[That’s jailhouse Cruz, below — and Paulie, above.]

Bernice King, Rev. King’s daughter rose, in answer to Ted “KKK” Cruz: “What my father would be deeply concerned about is the harmful, discriminatory legislation in Florida,” King tweeted, along with a photo of her late father.

The true giant of a proud Black man who taught me civ. pro. argued Bivens in front of the Supremes, on behalf of this very same NAACP. And he was a clerk for Thurgood Marshall, who himself had argued Brown… on behalf of the same NAACP. [So I’ll rise now… to defend my betters — my brothers, of a greater God.]

I get that John and Paul cannot see, or value anything that doesn’t put money in their own pockets — as remotely worthwhile. [And as we’ve established, John is a heathen — as to Christ’s social gospel at Matthew 25:36-41.]

So — yes, in this matter, both Paul and John are… a pair of lost souls. They both excised very large part of the covenants they say they live by, from both the Old and New Testaments (John’s odd version of X-ianity). [As have most frothy hard right malign crisis actors.]

Paul too forgets his Torah teachings, to be sure here. But I’ll leave most of that for another day, as that covenant was less taught in my home as a child, even though one of the household held it. (Deuteronomy 15:7 and 15:11 both command that he should take special care, since he’s been blessed with great wealth, to help any who are not in the financial position that He who Is blessed him with. It is not properly Paul’s wealth, as taught by his own Rabbi, but Yaweh’s — and those verses command Paul to very fastidiously care for the people of Florida who are today crying out for justice.)

All of which neither he or John do. And thus, both of them profess a pair of faiths they in the main do not honor.

I guess Paul and John think that DeSantis is going to run Florida until he dies?! He’s already all but declared for 1600 Penn. And it may well be that Florida’s mansion is Democratic hands by 2024. So the NAACP leadership should move out of state, Paul?! You. Are. An. Idiot.

U G L Y.

But not entirely surprising.

Hinderaker Complains That Google… Kept The Receipts. Hilarious!

Ahem. I personally read each of the “stories” John Hinderaker today claims the site never published. I read them in real time, on Powerline — and at several prior iterations of this critique site, I’d set out refutations of the Powerliners’ lies.

I’ll gladly go dredge those up, if John persists in his prevarications.

But I won’t have to.

Google kept the receipts. As did “The WayBackMachine.org” — an independent archive of those lies (and hundreds of others). [He also preposterously claims that the boys receive… “no funding”. The IRS 990s say otherwise, John. As does CPAC, for the years 2015-2019.]

I guess, at bottom, old Johnnie is just butt-sore that the world is on to him — and in the main, the world has passed Powerline (and him) on by.

Perfect.

Power-Alley/Tangent: Prometheus Clears Hart-Scott, And ReNAgade Therapeutics Wins $300 Million In Funding From Merck, On Top Of Collab With ORNA ($3.5 Billion Potential)

The Merck collab / deal space is poppin’ this morning. The ~$11 billion Prometheus acquisition has cleared the Hart-Scott antitrust pre-merger notification waiting period, in the US. . . so it may close before the end of Q2 2023. That is clearly the more market moving news, but also of note. . . is this modified RNA focused start-up’s $300 million payday, from Mother Merck.

And so, as imaged in lower left of the graphic at right, last year, we reported on the up to $3.5 billion milestones deal Merck signed with ORNA Therapeutics. And previously-teeny-tiny ReNAgade has been working in a quiet joint venture deal, with ORNA — since last winter. [Plus, since then, ORNA itself has also signed similarly-sized deals with Pfizer (in unrelated arenas), among others.] So it is fair to say that this three way “Marvel team up” is off to a galloping start (at Galloping Hill?! Nah. . . heh.). Here’s the latest on it, and a bit:

…A new RNA startup is emerging from stealth with a Big Pharma partnership, a leadership team that hails from well-known RNA drugmakers and $300 million in venture capital.

ReNAgade Therapeutics (with its name styled to highlight the firm’s “RNA” focus) launched publicly Tuesday after 18 months or so operating behind closed doors. The startup was founded by MPM Capital affiliate BioImpact Capital, which led the Series A investment round with F2 Ventures.

ReNAgade has a “running start,” as CEO Amit Munshi puts it. Already, the young startup has teamed up with circular RNA startup Orna Therapeutics Inc., which itself launched just over two years ago. That sets ReNAgade up for a partnership with Merck, since Orna and Merck entered a $3.5 billion collaboration in late 2022 that, ReNAgade revealed, includes technologies developed through the ReNAgade-Orna joint venture….

The company has about 100 employees already. Its headquarters are [on] Memorial Drive in Cambridge, a storied building that’s been home to a Ford Motor Co. assembly plant, a Polaroid Corp. manufacturing facility and MIT….

Munshi is a serial entrepreneur and experienced CEO, having previously headed up… Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. [among others]….

The rest of the C-suite is similarly star-studded: chief scientific officer Pete Smith was chief early development officer at Alnylam and head of nonclinical R&D at Moderna; chief operating officer Ciaran Lawlor is another former Moderna scientist; and chief business officer Brian Shuster spent about 15 years at Johnson & Johnson Inc. and Bristol Myers Squibb Co….

Now you know — off for a mountain bike ride along the crystal clear spring lake waters, on a 77 degree day! Woot! Be excellent to one another…. smile.

Mirengoff’s Lies On Race & Police Stops…

Just pathetic lies — all of it.

We’ve debunked these racist lies before, repeatedly, so we will turn to Paul’s poor track record on foreseeing how GOP primaries play out.

In discussing Sen. Scott’s run, he ignores the most likely outcome, should Tangerine not be nominated by the GOP. He will run third party, and that will mean no GOP or other right leaning candidate will have any shot at a win in the general.

Hilarious. Even now these idiots cannot see that Trump will kill them all, even if they don’t nominate him. And he may occasion the death of the GOP, in doing so.

Perfect!

Finally — Paul Mirengoff Will Admit, After Visiting The EU, That He Overstates America’s [Non-Existent] Decline…

Paul is now back from his two weeks abroad, it seems.

And bracingly, but unsurprisingly — he offers lots of old guy carping — again.

But buried in all of it, is the admission that… in the main, he and his fellow travelers, Hinderaker, Johnson and Hayward… tend to overstate the declines they see… mostly because they are just old — and wish for the return of the 1950s of their falsely idyllic youth.

That is… refreshing.

Thanks, Paul. All the rest you write… is pretty well summed up by… that.

Cheers.

Again — Hinderaker LIES, To Blame Summer Brownouts… On Green Energy Movement. Yawn.

We have forcefully made this point before.

But tonight, I want to amplify it, since Hinderaker regularly says blue cities like Chicago and nearby suburbs are “very poorly run“. Hah!

Hinderaker offers a chart tonight, which suggests where there may be elevated risk of brownouts or blackouts if it gets particularly hot this summer. Hilariously, Chicago, Milwaukee and the nearby suburbs of each will experience no such risk — even by his own admission. Nor will all of blue… New York (another place he claims is poorly run). And we all employ quite a bit of greener, renewable energy at the source.

So there’s that, John.

And there is the fact that the GOP intentionally hobbled Texas’s electricity grid about 24 years ago, to maximize the amount it could reap via Enron schemes — for wealthy legacy Texas oil families. [It privatized that pig trough, as all monopolists do.]

Note that most of the areas with severe issues burn coal or natural gas and oil, and thus are skewed to the GOP controlled areas in the South, and Southwest. That is not a coincidence.

These pigs are gouging small mom and pop consumers, and pocketing vast profits.

Hinderaker well-knows it — and he is fully complicit… with his lying.

This is not a problem of green energy. This is a problem of myopic GOP hubris and greed.

Out.

[U: w/ Comments From Bernice King] Hinderaker Thinks DeSantis Is Gonna’ Be… Governor “For Life”?! He’s Running For 1600 Penn.

Updated: 05.23.2023 — Ted Cruz, that sack of dung, yesterday said that Dr. King would “be ashamed” of the NAACP’s stance on Florida. Uh-huh.

Within hours, Bernice King, Rev. King’s daughter rose, in answer to Ted “KKK” Cruz: “What my father would be deeply concerned about is the harmful, discriminatory legislation in Florida,” King tweeted, along with a photo of her late father. End, updated portion.

The embittered, impotent old whyte loon Hinderaker complains this afternoon that the NAACP has “always” been a worthless organization. Uh-huh.

I’d let it pass, but the true giant of a proud Black man who taught me civ. pro. argued Bivens in front of the Supremes, on behalf of this very same NAACP. And he was a clerk for Thurgood Marshall, who himself had argued Brown… on behalf of the same NAACP. [So I’ll rise now… to defend my betters — my brothers, of a greater God.]

I get that John cannot see, or value anything that doesn’t put money in his own pocket — as remotely worthwhile. [And as we’ve established, he is a heathen — as to Christ’s social gospel at Matthew 25:36-41.]

So — yes, John is… a lost soul. He’s excised a very large part of the New Testament from his version of X-ianity. [As have most frothy hard right malign crisis actors.]

So — when the NAACP issues a [Anti-]Green Book call, for Florida… John sees only the fact that prior to that time, some of the leaders of NAACP had visited Florida, and one has the misfortune of living in Tampa. [My understanding is that the house is offered for sale, already.]

In any event, I guess… (preposterously!) John thinks that DeSantis is going to run Florida until he dies?! He’s already all but declared, for 1600 Penn. And it may well be that Florida’s mansion is Democratic hands by 2024. So she should move, John?! You. Are. An. Idiot.

Now you know.

John needs to up his daily Ketamine dosages. Out.

Next TROPICS Launch From New Zealand Could Come Thursday…

Weather continues to vex launch dates for a second TROPICS rocket liftoff down under.

We will keep you posted, but the prior one was… flawless. Here’s the update, from NASA:

…NASA and Rocket Lab are now targeting no earlier than 12 a.m. EDT Thursday, May 25, (4 p.m. NZST) for the final launch of the agency’s TROPICS (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats) mission due to unfavorable weather conditions. Rocket Lab will continue to assess the weather, and provide updates.

The pair of spacecraft remain healthy and ready for launch on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand.

This launch is the second of two planned launches, each sending a pair of shoebox-sized satellites to low Earth orbit to make more frequent observations of tropical cyclones, which includes hurricanes and typhoons. TROPICS will provide data on temperature, precipitation, water vapor, and clouds by measuring microwave frequencies, providing insight into storm formation and intensification. The data will help scientists better understand the processes that affect these high-impact storms, ultimately leading to improved modeling and prediction….

Now you know — lots of random visits to collateral sites this morning… trusting all is okay(?)…
