BREAKING: President Walsh orders flags at half-staff for GENWORKS tragedy — DOW drops 800 points — vessel carrying US emigrants turned away in Panama…
GLEN JOHNSON, THE FIX: Good evening, my fellow patriots. In the wake of yesterday’s deadly gas explosion at the GENWORKS laboratory in Oklahoma, the usual voices would have you believe it’s an act by the defunct Mad Ophelias, a group of losers that many blue states still categorize as ‘a liberation front’ despite its history of terrorism.
If they think that lumping themselves with enemies of the state will help boost their exceptionally low polling numbers among women who are still eligible to vote, then I see yet another red wave washing across the country. Here to comment are Jason Geary, political columnist for the Bloomberg Right and Chet Williams, contributor for MaxxNews.
Jason, Chet, thanks for being here. Jason, I want to start with you. How desperate is this?
JASON: I thought they’d hit a new low running that obstetrician for president, what was her name…Jill?
CHET: Jane.
JASON: Same difference. But this fearmongering is truly dangerous to the fabric of our society. Birth rates continue to plummet thanks to all the illegal hysterectomies, despite some tough new measures in the South. The research at GENWORKS is critical to maintaining population levels that sustain our way of life. We need to be in lockstep when it comes to artificial wombs.
CHET: The level of media attention on the West Coast is insane.
GLEN: But even if hypothetically it was the Mad Ophelias—which it’s not—why would they believe this would help them?
CHET: Because they haven’t been successful through legitimate, law-abiding means. But I think what’s been lost over time is that the Mad Ophelias was just a hodgepodge of a few psychopathic women who didn’t care who they hurt. There was nothing glamorous about them. There’s nothing aspirational about terrorism. Which is why they died out. Literally in the case of MO1.
JASON: I don’t buy that DNA was hers.
CHET: That’s a serious claim.
JASON: Just saying. My big concern is that some vulnerable young women could still be at risk of thinking their propaganda is ‘cool.’ Still too many academics pushing pinkliner theory.
GLEN: Jason, you bring up something our patriots at home have been feeling for a while. We got comfortable. And it did all start on a college campus. These ideas are an infection.
JASON: The Corps has some excellent free agents for monitoring computers and phones.
CHET: And don’t forget the re-education programs. There’s no shame in it. My youngest Nancy completed a realignment cycle on the island. Best thing we ever did for her.
GLEN: Can we get that URL up on the screen Carl? Great. Thanks. So do you think the Corps can, and will, take more aggressive measures against outlying states?
JASON: I sure hope so. Since the Left is throwing up the specter of the Mad Ophelias’ return, might as well make the most of it and try to bring New York, Washington, and California to heel. They’ve been turning their nose up at federal laws for far too long.
GLEN: Amen to that. We’ve got to cut to a commercial but when we return, we’ll talk to Sen. O’Neil about his goal to strengthen the border with Canada. Stay tuned.
