As a general rule, I try not to discuss people in these Lexicon entries for a couple of reasons. First, I’d rather discuss ideas than people. And second, all it takes is one scumbag lawyer representing a Leftist freak for your humble correspondent to be in court over their hurt fee-fees.
This week, I have to make an exception, but it’s not for these reasons. The Left has their collectivist hivemind set on a Presidential aide with the Trump Administration, Natalie Harp. Apparently, those who believe in strong intelligent women don’t think Ms. Harp can be a strong intelligent woman serving under the President and must have another reason for being there.
Yeah. They went there.
So, in my defense (and Ms. Harp’s), I have to go there to discuss the underpinnings of the Left’s hypocrisy. Get your hip-waders on. We’re gonna get muddy!
Natalie Harp
What the Left thinks it means – a woman who is serving the President, if you know what I mean
What it really means – A Presidential aide. That’s it.
When looking at Ms. Harp’s history, there isn’t much there that stands out as out of place. Her rise to more administrative power could be rewritten for any political operative, right down to the academic bona fides. So, why all of the sudden have Leftists become Harp enthusiasts?
Donald Trump.
I’m the first one to admit Trump has done himself no favors with his sexual history, both real and made up of utter bullshit. (By the way, Tom Arnold, we’re still waiting on your proof of Trump’s “piss tape.” I’m sure you could spare some time in your current schedule of doing jack shit to produce that evidence.) But, as we’ve seen from the Left’s defense of Bill “Commander In Briefs” Clinton, the sexual side of politics doesn’t matter as long as you support the right things.
You know, like journalists offering to give Bubba “mouth hugs” because of his support of abortion rights.
Of course, Trump doesn’t get that glazing (#phrasing) from the Left because he’s literally Hitler! Seriously, it’s because he’s a Republican. As Matt Gaetz can tell you, the Left will do anything they can do to insinuate sexual impropriety against Republicans when the facts may or may not be there.
Guess what they’re doing now, kids.
Ms. Harp’s proximity to Trump makes her a prime target to use as a cudgel against the President because as we all know all Republican or right-leaning woman is a mindless MAGA fembot without agency. (For y0u Leftists reading this, that was sarcasm.) Then again, these same Leftists think Dylan “Temu Ariana Grande” Mulvaney is a strong and brave woman, so do with that what you will.
One of the criticisms the Left has levied against Trump is he surrounds himself with a “type,” namely attractive blonde women. And Ms. Harp certainly fits the bill. Naturally, the Left latched onto that to fabricate fanfic stories less believable than the results of a California election under Governor Gavin Newsom.
This is one of the most amusing parts of this pseudo-scandal for me. On the one hand, the Left acts like giggling little kids because of the sexual innuendoes involved. At the same time, they’re acting like the moralizing scolds from the Religious Right from the 1980s (all while hiding their own sexual skeletons). It’s Schrödinger’s Sex Scandal: it’s both good and bad the President is accused of sexual impropriety, and it depends on how one perceives it.
Appropriately enough, both this concept and the original form of it involve pussy.
When sex and politics come together (#phrasingagain), you’re going to find weirdos emerging from the woodwork to weave a story. And some of those weirdos hold public office.
May I introduce Senator Jon “Lying My” Ossoff. He kicked off a firestorm over Ms. Harp when he made the following statement during a campaign stop:
He doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.
There’s a few things to unpack here, but the main point is the suggestion President Trump and Ms. Harp are fucking. Slight innuendo perhaps, but it’s there. He later tried to explain away the comment and then doubled down on it. (Schrödinger’s Denial perhaps?)
By the way, if any members of the Schrödinger estate want to kick me a few bucks for promoting your late relative, I’m okay with that.
But it’s not just Leftist politicians getting into the act. Leftist media types (but I repeat myself) are also getting into the fray. Here are just a few snippets from our favorite presstitutes.
Natalie is essentially a body person. She is a human binkie. Somebody who loves him as much as his wife. He would say to aides she’s never going to leave me. – Maggie Haberman, New York Times
None of these people defending Trump’s side piece seemed to have any issue with Trump calling female reporters “piggy” and “hag.” – Julie Brown, Miami Herald
Meet Natalie Harp, the aide so close to Trump she once rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him “As the motorcade idled outside his Trump Tower residence, staffers confronted a more immediate problem: There wasn’t room for Harp, the hyper-loyal aide whose devotion to Trump had quickly entrenched her within his orbit. A screaming match in the lobby ensued, with Harp insisting that Trump had personally asked her to attend the court appearance, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Denied a seat but determined not to be left behind, Harp jumped into an SUV trunk, according to the two sources and confirmed by a photo obtained by CNN.” W @adamcancryn – Kristen Holmes, CNN
Salary of executive assistant Natalie Harp: $150,000 a year.
Average salary of a sailor on the USS Lincoln:
~ $50,000 a year. – X post from Bill Kristol
Trump’s Human Printer Is Cray-Cray – title of article on The Bullwark by Jonathan V. Last
“Man, I wish Trump were just having an affair with someone forty-five years his junior. That kind of relationship would make sense. It would be gross, but intelligible. The reality of the Trump–Harp…thing…is so bonkers that I don’t have words for it.” – X post from Bill Kristol, quoting from the aforementioned Bullwark article
Erin’s full interview with the estranged brother of Trump aide Natalie Harp as CNN reports Harp is constantly around Trump all hours of the day: “It really blows my mind.” – X post from Erin Burnett OutFront, CNN
And speaking of Ms. Burnett, she had an interview with Ms. Harp’s estranged brother on her show. Because when you want to get to the heart of who someone is, you gotta talk to a relative you don’t get along with. That’s Journalism 101.
And for any Leftists reading this, that was also sarcasm.
Although going into public service means you have to give up your privacy, what Ms. Harp is experiencing right now is beyond the fucking pale and only because of her political leanings. Of course, the Left doesn’t care about the privacy of women who don’t agree with them, or anything else about women who don’t agree with them for that matter. Yes, dear readers, the self-professed “Party of Women” doesn’t see anyone outside of its hugbox as human worthy of even the most basic of human respect. And I can prove it in one word.
COVID.
The kind of utter disdain the Left has for non-Leftists was hard to overlook and even harder to endure. Throw in the Left’s lawfare against Trump (including the aforementioned lies about him), the capriciousness of the January 6th detainees, the frequent death threats against Trump and other Republicans, the joy they had at Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the list goes on and on.
But if you don’t use the proper pronouns, you’re the monster.
That’s the area we’re heading in right now with Michelle Harp. She isn’t a woman in the eyes of the Left; she’s a tool to be used against President Trump, and that’s all she’ll ever be to them. No intelligence, no agency, not even an entity deserving of respect. Just a weapon, a tool used by tools if you will. Even if you won’t, I’m sticking with it because it’s my blog, dammit!
Either way, I hope she gets through this media-fueled rough patch with humor, grace, and determination to keep doing her job to the best of her ability. Success is the best revenge you can get on people on the Left.
And since they’re not familiar with it, it will come as a complete surprise, which makes it all the funnier!

Leftist Lexicon Word of the Week
As a recovering Leftist, I have an insight on how the Left thinks (which is usually not at all). Even then, there are times when I shake my head in “what the absolute fuck are you thinking” mode.
This is one of those times.
I present to you a new Leftist group called Unpull the Trigger out of Portland, Oregon. Although they haven’t reached the sheer dumbfuckery of Everytown for Gun Safety or, well, being Hunter Biden, they are quickly rising up the charts with a bullet, or more accurately, with an AR-15. See, Unpull the Trigger has the brilliant idea of buying every black man an AR-15 as a means to make Republicans back gun control.
And it was at this point my head started shaking like a Jello mold on the San Andreas Fault during an 8.9 on the Richter Scale.
Unpull the Trigger
What the Left thinks it means – a Progressive group trying to get Republicans to finally get on board with sensible gun control
What it really means – another idiotic Leftist group based on an erroneous assumption about the Right
So far, not much is known about Unpull the Trigger, mainly because people are too busy laughing at them to do any actual digging. But, from what I’ve been able to find, they are a non-profit anti-gun grift…I mean group, and run by fucking idiots. Their big-brained idea I referenced above is called, and I swear I’m not making this up, “Scare the Racists Straight.”
See what I mean by “what the absolute fuck are you thinking”?
As you might expect, all Leftist anti-gun groups lack one essential piece of information: knowing any actual gun owners who aren’t one of them. Oh, sure, you’ll find a Leftist gun owner who thinks there needs to be stricter laws on the books because fee-fees, but that’s not the same thing as Bubba McMAGAHat, who is a proud gun owner and wouldn’t be caught dead voting for anyone to the left of Pat Buchanan.
Okay, bad example. Let’s go with Ronald Reagan.
This lack of actual knowledge leads to blind spots that lead to dumb decisions like assuming Republicans would be against arming blacks or naming an organization Unpull the Trigger. Once you start digging a bit, the blind spots become so obvious Stevie Wonder can see them.
Although whites make up a significant percentage of gun owners in America, there are still a number of blacks who are according to the Pew Research Center. I’m sure the NRA would appreciate the expected increased membership, but it doesn’t work if your goal is to prevent people from having guns in the first place. But only a complete dipshit would want…oh, the President of Unpull the Trigger wants that.
I have to give them credit, though, for thinking outside the box. Of course, their initiative will wind up the same way the other gun control efforts have: failing worse than Michael Bay doing a “Heidi” remake.
But here’s where shit gets really weird. If we look at the stats (and I do because my social life makes Boo Radley look like a TikTok “star”), there is a significant number of young black men who are in gangs, with a majority of them being over 18. Granted, these numbers are over a decade old, so the percentages may be different, but it’s immaterial to the larger point I’m going to make here. Unpull the Trigger wants to give these gang members AR-15s, which will undoubtedly change the dynamic of gang culture, i.e. allowing people with zero problems offing another person to have access to a weapon Leftists say are only made for killing people.
But not every black man belongs to a gang, so we can’t use that broad brush. However, we can look at how giving every black man a gun might affect Leftist groups like…oh, I don’t know…Black Lives Matter. Surely an organization that wants to defund the police wouldn’t use guns in a violent matter, right?
David Dorn could not be reached for comment.
What about ANTIFA? Although primarily dominated by whites, there are blacks who are either members or sympathetic to the cause. And ANTIFA isn’t above violent methods to achieve their goals or to make a statement.
And Unpull the Trigger wants to arm these assholes.
Oh, but it gets better! Notice Unpull the Trigger wants to arm black men…but not black women. Isn’t that sexist? Are these Leftists assuming black women a) don’t want to be armed, or b) are incapable of using a gun properly? And what about black trans people (as opposed to Shawn King and Rachel Dolezal, who claim to be trans-black)? If gender is a spectrum or a social construct, why are black men the only ones who get the guns? That’s patriarchy, motherfuckers! Not to mention, it’s trans erasure! And, I’m sorry kids, but that means Unpull the Trigger has to be shamed and run out of the public square.
Hey, I didn’t write the rules, but I can’t abide by your obvious hatred, so off you go!
Now, remember when I said earlier this whole concept was based on an erroneous assumption about the Right? Well, hold onto your hats because we’re finally getting to the good part.
The Left assumes the Right is full of racist bigots because the Right tends to oppose Leftist measures to “fight” racism and bigotry. And by extension, Leftists believe gun owners are racists. So, Unpull the Trigger wants to make more black men gun owners and, thus…make them racists?
Remember, kids, I am a trained professional. Do not try to make sense of Leftist logic at home.
And this is where the Leftist blind spot kicks them in the dick. There are racists who are gun owners if only due to the law of averages, but the Venn Diagram of racists and gun owners really doesn’t have a lot of overlap because gun owners care more about their guns than they do about the color of who owns them. I’ve been to a couple of gun shows and have known many gun owners in my 53 years of life. I even have had a gun owner or two in my family. You know what I found in interacting with actual gun owners?
They’re regular people. Well-armed people, I grant you, but regular people. Sure, they have differences as people often do, but when it comes to gun ownership, the only colors that matter to them are those of the guns themselves. Granted, this is anecdotal evidence, but it’s a damn sight better than the pulling ideas out of their asses that Unpull the Trigger is using.
Ultimately, Unpull the Trigger will become a laughingstock like David Hogg, and much for the same reason: they know jack shit about guns and gun owners. Assuming anyone on the Right would freak out about blacks getting AR-15s is not the sign of an intellectual giant, no matter how much the press writes glowing puff pieces about them. At some point, they will fade into the background like all the other gun control groups and struggle to remain relevant.
The only hope for their salvation would be if it came out they were trolling the Left just to see how much support they would get from them. If not, I have a much better solution for Unpull the Trigger. If you really want to stop gun violence, don’t ban guns; ban Leftists from having guns.
