Facebook is becoming Porn Central. Russians and Facebook — that’s getting all the attention, even though there’s quite a bit of doubt just how widespread the Russian Facebook impact was on the presidential election. But Facebook is slowing sliding into a pretty deep cesspool of rather raunchy pornography, and unlike the tiny drop in the bucket of the Russian influence on Facebook, pornography on Facebook is becoming a tsunami. Yet there’s no media coverage of that story at all. Why? And you’d think by now there would be an uproar by parents, given the salacious exposure to their children, but there hasn’t been a peep. Again, why is that?

John Kerry was an clueless Secretary of State — witness his various Geneva “negotiations” over the Syrian civil war that, oh by the way, didn’t include any of the key players — duh. He calls for negotiation in Geneva and no one comes. That’s called talking to yourself and thinking it “diplomacy”.
Then there was the Chamberlain-like, “peace in our time” Iranian deal that he engineered, which was the big giveaway in order to get any kind of agreement, so that he could claim “success”. No one told Kerry that you have to be willing to walk away from the table in order to get a good deal — you can’t be too eager or give that impression.
Now he is being a disastrous ex-Secretary of State and actually interfering in our foreign policy with respect to Iran — his first experience dealing with Iran wasn’t bad enough, it seems. These former office-holders should learn how to fade away gracefully, but apparently that is asking to much.
But I guess my lingering question has to do with how we fill this position of Secretary of State? It seems to be reserved as a political plum, that is to say, it’s given as a prize to some former senator or other, as if election to political office is the appropriate background and sufficient training for diplomacy. But why would some political hack necessarily have the best qualifications for leadership in international affairs?
Remember Henry Kissinger, with that marvelous gravelly voice? Whatever you might say about Kissinger, he wasn’t some off-the-wall political hack, but someone who actual knew something about negotiating, foreign affairs, and diplomacy, with enough gravitas that even our adversaries listened his every word with rapt attention. Seems to me we should get back to that model for making this very critical appointment — appointing someone as Secretary of State who has actual claims as a diplomat. Doesn’t that make more sense? Or are we going to continue giving away the position to ex-Senators as a booby prize — ex-Senators with zero qualifications for the job?

You don’t have to be Walter Mitty
To come up with a pretty little ditty.
You don’t need the approval of a committee
To write down verse very witty.
Just use imagination itty-bitty,
And you will compose something nifty.
You don’t need to employ outlaw banditti.
You don’t need to call a subcommittee.
You don’t need anyone else’s pity.
Just imitate the antics of your little kitty,
And throw the dice in dear old New York City —
That’s the nitty-gritty.
So hippity hoppity too
And bippity boppity boo.
Serendipity truly loves you.

Liberals have long used such slurs as racist, homophobic, sexist, religious bigot, etc. — the entire arsenal of political correctness — but the new and explosive one is the sexual misconduct slur. It’s another arrow in the Left’s quiver for destroying their opposition, and the public has been totally primed for this new type of mud slinging by the truly horrific cases of actual sexual predators in some very high-profile cases.
So this new slur is a very potent one, even when used for incidents that would ordinarily pass as less than noteworthy, even harmless — certainly nowhere near blameworthy enough to destroy a man’s reputation and even his livelihood, and yet that’s exactly the intent despite having little or no justification. But the point is the sexual-misconduct slur, even when unjustified, works very nicely to skewer the targeted — and now hapless — political opponent.
Yet it raises the issue, who is really slimier here: the Left-winger exploiting such a baseless and therefore foul accusation or the accused? I think we all know the answer to that one.
