Jack Cashill spent his June 21 WorldNetDaily column complaining about the recent frequency of what he called “Perversely Improbable Events.” You will not be surprised to learn that many of them involve things that involve right-wing narratives, such as complaining about crime in San Francisco and the Jussie Smollett crime hoax (though he failed to mention another crime hoax involving a Republican campaign worker). He whined about the idea that LGBT people have rights:
Not even the precociously woke would have predicted 10 years ago that the trans crowd and their media allies would insist that biological men be allowed to compete against women in sports – and get their way.
Nor, 10 years ago, could the most progressive Californian have expected the Los Angeles Dodgers to offer public honor to a crew of blasphemous transvestites parading as nuns.
But Cashill was particularly incensed about COVID — not the actual pandemic, mind you (which he falsely dismissed as a “flu”) , but that government officials tried to slow its spread:
In 2013, even 2019, who’d a thunk that “progressive” officials at all levels of government would conspire to shut down beaches, parks and schools, and compel their lemming-like residents to remain indoors to avoid a flu?
In a particularly perverse move, California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a “hard close” of state beaches in July 2021, a year after even most equally insane states had opened theirs.
What made this Orwellian lock down so perverse is the residents of California could see that the beachgoers in, say, Florida, were living free, open, American lives and risking no more than sunburn.
The increasingly progressive media had scared their audiences into complying. A year after COVID’s onset, for instance, some 41 percent of surveyed Democrats believed that those who caught COVID had a 50 percent chance or better of being hospitalized. The right answer was 1 percent to 5 percent.
Despite the fear in the air, in the early summer of 2020 the medical community gave a temporary COVID dispensation so the mindless could muster in crowds and burn down their cities to honor the memory of a chronic felon.
After a little rioting, the crowds morphed from sheep into Stasi. Now they demanded that their saner fellow citizens vaxx up. As former freedom-loving California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger memorably warned us, “Screw your freedom.”
That “chronic felon” is George Floyd, and Cashill has repeatedly defended the police officer who killed him, though he didn’t explain why Floyd’s alleged criminal status made it perfectly OK to kill him. He also whined about election stuff:
Bizarre as California was, the truly improbable stuff was unfolding in Washington. In 2016, the intelligence community conspired with the Clinton campaign to subvert the presidential ambitions of Donald Trump.
Failing the first time, in 2020 at least 51 members of the unchastened intel community conspired with the Biden campaign to stop Trump, and this time they succeeded. In both cases, the media chose not to notice.
He concluded with this bizarre complaint:
As to the most perversely improbable event in the last 10 years: A man in a Las Vegas hotel room shot nearly 500 concert goers, killing 60, and you don’t even know his name.
What happens in Vegas apparently stays in Vegas – at least when the media want it to.
In fact, most news organizations have largely backed away from naming the perpetrators to deny them the notoriety most are seeking in committing their heinous acts. Why does Cashill want to give the man who committed this atrocity the honor of spreading his name?
