Episode 871 – There Is Only One Surprise About the P-Diddy Story

A massive disaster happens in Baltimore.

More “Hollywood Culture” is being investigated by the Feds.

And Congress passes a huge bill in the middle of the night…again.

Terrorism?

The Francis Key Bridge along the I-695 that connects to Baltimore had a support beam run into by a cargo ship and completely collapsed. The whole thing was caught on camera.

Here are the details:

  • The incident occurred at 1:30 AM EST last night.
  • The bridge is 1 1/2 miles long and 187 feet above the ocean. The water is 50 feet deep and is 47 degrees.
  • There was an unknown number of cars on the bridge.
  • A crew of road workers were also on the bridge.
  • It appeared that the ship was losing power when it hit the beam. There are reports it was also on fire though one couldn’t see that on the video.
  • It was traveling at 8 knots which is pretty fast.
  • The cargo ship that hit the bridge was the Dali, a 95,000 GT Singapore-flagged container ship, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore confirmed. There were 22 crew members onboard at the time of the incident.
  • During the press conference, it was said that there is no evidence of terrorism
    • It sure looked intentional to me.
    • Some are saying it could have been a cyber attack.
    • The government’s lack of transparency is the reason no one trusts their reports.
  • The collapse comes just two days after the 47-year anniversary of the bridge’s construction, which was completed  on March 24, 1977.
  • The FBI, local law enforcement, and Coast Guard are on scene. Navy SEAL divers are also on scene.
  • Pete Buttigieg has been notified.
  • A State of Emergency has been declared.

There Is Only One Surprise Here

Sean “P-Diddy” Combs had his house raided yesterday in connection with sex trafficking. The raid was conducted by DHS at his Los Angeles and Miami homes.

Combs was initially accused of sexual harassment, sexual abuse and rape of both women and men.

Then it was reported he was actually involved in a sex trafficking ring.

There are now reports on Twitter with some evidence that Combs’ private plane and heading to a non-extradition country. Who knows if this is true.

There are comparisons being made to Jeffrey Epstein.

Dumbass of the Day

Some things:

  • Massachussets was never a slave state.
  • If my church said the would do this, they would never see another dime from me.

Why So Late?

According to the Daily Wire:

The Senate approved a $1.2 trillion spending package in a bipartisan vote during the early hours of Saturday morning, sending the bill to President Joe Biden, who will likely sign it as soon as possible to avoid a government shutdown.

After passing the House on Friday in a 286-134 vote, the Senate voted 74-24 at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday to send the more than 1,000-page spending package to Biden’s desk, The Hill reported. Earlier this week, House and Senate leadership announced that they had come to an agreement to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal 2024, which is nearly half over, covering the remaining spending bills that were not included in a $460 billion “minibus” that passed earlier this month.

It’s been a very long and difficult day, but we have just reached an agreement to complete the job of funding the government,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said just before the bill passed. “It is good for the country that we have reached this bipartisan deal. It wasn’t easy, but tonight our persistence has been worth it.”

Twenty-five Republicans voted to pass the spending bill, along with 47 Democrats, while 22 Republicans voted against the $1.2 trillion package. Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, along with independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — who caucuses with the Democrats — also voted against the bill. Sanders cited a block of funding to UNRWA, an agency of the U.N., as a reason he voted against the bill, according to The Hill. During negotiations with Democrats, Republicans successfully secured the cut in funding to the UNRWA, whose workers have been connected to Hamas terrorists.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Tuesday that the final negotiations that were worked out between House and Senate leadership focused on appropriations for the Homeland Security Department (DHS). The $1.2 trillion package covers funding for the Legislative Branch, Financial Services and General Government, and the Departments of Defense, State, Health and Human Services, Labor, Homeland Security, and related agencies.

Some things:

  • There is a silver lining to this cloud. Republicans can’t be blamed for a government shutdown. That means we can concentrate on the crappy job of Joe Biden.
  • Don’t get me wrong, this is a bad bill.
  • It shows we need to get rid of bureaucracies (especially the IRS). Most of these government agencies are paid too much, are too bis or shouldn’t exist at all.

Let Them Be Kids

According to Fox News:

Many schools across the U.S. are rethinking their class schedules for April 8, 2024 — the day a solar eclipse will hit North America.

The eclipse’s line of totality — the areas where the sun will experience total coverage — will span 15 states, according to NASA.

The eclipse route will travel from Mexico, arching northeast from Texas to Ohio before reaching Canada and going back into Maine.

Many school districts, and even some universities, that lie in the direct path of the eclipse have already planned to close school for the day or cancel classes out of concern for students’ safety.

Some things:

  • There’s nothing dangerous about a solar eclipse. Don’t stare at the weird sun and everyone will be fine.
  • This is a teaching moment. You can teach a kid about whan an eclipse is, teach kids about the son and moon, and teach them how to watch an eclipse safely.
  • How are the kids (and college students) staying home going to make them safe? What is going to stop the kids from watching the gun at home?

This isn’t about keeping the kids safe. This is about the teachers wanting a day off. We know one thing, working 6 hours a day for 8 months a year can really take a toll on a person.

Can we just stop with the whole teachers-are-the-saviors-of-our-youth bullshit? They are a bunch of lazy, overpaid divas that are trying to indoctrinate our kids into the Left wing insanity.

They are not heroes doing an impossible job. Hell, they aren’t even able to teach our kids how to read or write.

Another Example?

According to the Post Millennial:

A trans-identified male has pleaded guilty to the brutal murder of a 12-year-old girl in Pennsylvania, and will spend at least 15 years in prison.

Ash Cooper, who was initially charged as Joshua Cooper but began transitioning after the arrest, admitted to the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Morgan Connors in Cooper’s family’s Bensalem, Pennsylvania trailer in November of 2022, the Daily Mail reports.

In a press release, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said the judge sentenced Cooper to 15 to 40 years in state prison and a consecutive seven-year sentence of probation. Cooper, who is now 18, was also ordered to “follow all the rules and recommendations of adult probation and parole and undergo psychological and psychiatric evaluations.”

At 4:11 pm on November 25, 3033, Bensalem Township Police responded to a 911 call about a possible homicide at the Top of the Ridge Trailer Park. Investigators learned that a juvenile witness was on an Instagram video chat with an acquaintance, later identified as Cooper, who had claimed to have just killed someone. 

In the video chat, Cooper, then 16, reportedly flipped the video image and showed the legs and feet of a person covered in blood to the juvenile witness. Cooper reportedly asked the acquaintance for assistance in cleaning the scene and disposing of her body.

When police arrived on the scene, they spotted a juvenile running out of the back of the trailer. They entered the trailer and found Connors, described as a “best friend,” deceased on the floor of the bathroom with an apparent gunshot wound. “There were also indications that substantial steps were taken to clean up the crime scene,” the office wrote.

Shortly after setting up a perimeter around the trailer park, Cooper was arrested.

Investigators said Cooper used a firearm obtained from Cooper’s father’s gun safe.  Connors’ cause of death was listed as a single gunshot wound to the neck and upper chest area. She was found lying facedown with her pants around her ankles and the gunshot wound to her backside.

Some things:

  • The callousness of this murder is incrdible.
  • They will now try to make this kid a victim of mental illness to let him out early. The defense will use his trans-ness as evidence. No, you don’t get to have it both ways.
  • He will probably end up in a women’s prison impregnating all the female inmates.
  • He should spend the rest of his life in prison.

Episode 870 – How Close Are We Getting to WW III?

The events of this weekend brought a big question to media. How close are we to World War III? Let’s talk about it.

Democrats have now created a new bureaucracy with the goal of taking away our right to bear arms. And they did it when no one would notice.

And Donald Trump has a new campaign ad. It will be a great shock to you who Democrats are blaming for the content of that ad.

This is How World Wars Start

According to the Daily Wire:

More than 130 people were killed during an Islamic terrorist attack at a concert hall in Russia on Friday night, according to the latest figures released by the Russian government.

Islamic State Khorasan Province, or ISIS-K, claimed credit for the terrorist attack that also wounded more than 140 people who were either shot, burned, or inhaled thick black smoke.

“As the rubble was being removed in the concert hall of the Crocus City Hall, the number of people killed in the terrorist attack has risen to 133,” said the Russian Investigative Committee. “The search operation is underway.”

Disturbing videos that circulated online of the attack showed four heavily armed men storming into Crocus City Hall and opening fire with automatic weapons on the sold-out concert.

The New York Times reported that the terrorists used “explosives and flammable liquids” to set the building on fire. The fire quickly spread the roof, causing portions of it to collapse, and soon engulfed at least a third of the building.

Vladimir Putin made a speech the day after the attack. He said:

“They tried to escape, they were moving towards the border with Ukraine. And we have data that suggests that they were about to be moved towards the territory of Ukraine by those in Ukraine.

“We will identify everyone who stands behind these terrorists and they will pay. These terrorists … there is only one future for them — retribution and oblivion.”

Putin did not directly blame Ukraine for the attack, and he did not mention the fact that the U.S. issued a public warning two weeks ago that terrorists were planning on targeting large crowds of people, specifically concerts, in Moscow. The U.S. also reportedly reached out to Russian officials and warned them directly about the ISIS-K plot.

The reality is he did blame Ukraine for the attack. On Saturday, Russia launched four missile attacks against Ukraine. This would not be a surprise except that one of the missiles strayed into Polish air space. Poland has to scramble a bunch of their F-16 fighters. They are demanding an explanation from Russia.

Some things about all this:

  • I don’t mean to be hyperbolic, but this is how world wars start.
  • No country wants a world war. Mutual assured destruction plays heavily here
  • This is what radical Islamists want. Sow chaos and cause war. They would love to see a world war.
  • This chaos is all because of the weakness of Joe Biden. No one is afraid of him or the United States.
  • Biden is enabling terrorists.
    • The Afghanistan surrender.
    • The continued attempt to revive the Iranian nuclear deal.
    • The insistence to the end of the Hamas/Israel war, in support of Hamas.
    • The capitulation to the Huthies.
    • Biden just release another $10 billion to the Iranian mullahs last week.
  • It is time to end the Ukraine/Russia war. This can be done in a month.
    • Right now, there is no exit strategy.
    • This war is in a stalemate. No one is going to get what they want.
    • Ukraine is looking like they don’t want to end this war.
    • Ukraine is not a democracy, it is a corrupt oligarchy. People are getting rich including that wet end Zelensky.
    • Zelensky is also proving to be a little tyrant.
      • His net worth is going way up. Wonder where he is getting the money?
      • He has declared martial law.
      • He has imprisoned political opponents and religious leaders.
      • He has cancelled the presidential elections scheduled for later this year.

Suddenly, Vlad Putin is not looking like the only asshole in that area.

Tyranny is Coming Here

According to the Post Millennial:

The Department of Justice announced on Saturday that it has launched the “National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center” in an attempt to combat gun violence. 

This center will provide comprehensive training and support to law enforcement officials, prosecutors, judges, behavioral health professionals, and other stakeholders in implementing laws designed to prevent individuals who “pose a threat” from accessing firearms. These laws, commonly referred to as “red flag laws,” enable authorities to remove firearms from the hands of people deemed dangerous and suspected to be a threat to others or themselves. 

“The launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center will provide our partners across the country with valuable resources to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The establishment of the Center is the latest example of the Justice Department’s work to use every tool provided by the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to protect communities from gun violence.” 

Funding for the center is derived from a Department of Justice grant approved as part of a gun control bill signed into law by President Biden in 2022. Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to unveil the center during her address at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Saturday. The school was tragically the site of a shooting in 2018 that claimed the lives of 14 students and three staff members. 

President Biden’s administration has prioritized red flag laws as a crucial component of its gun control efforts. Last February, Biden announced that the DOJ would be giving over $231 million to states for red-flag programs. 

Critics have long argued that red flag laws pose significant Constitutional concerns and are likely to violate the Second Amendment rights of citizens.

We Have a New Campaign Ad!

According to the New York Post:

A group of over 100 migrants attempted to enter the US illegally by rushing a border wall Thursday, breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the process.

The Post had earlier witnessed around 600 migrants massed at the international border, as part of a “spring surge” of migrants hoping to gain access to the US.

The Texas National Guard was attempting to organize them into smaller groups, but the situation grew tense after some women and children were separated from adult males by the guardsmen.

Video taken by The Post showed one set of migrants, mostly single men, then rushing the Texas troops.

A group of men with hoodies, gloves and winter jackets could be seen pulling fencing away and dashing through the concertina wire, as a group of five guards stood in a defensive formation to fill the gap.

Couple of things about this:

  • This is more common than we think. It just hasn’t been caught on camera because these are restricted part of the border.
  • This is a campaign ad.
  • This is an invasion.
  • What is the point of having the National Guard on the border if they are not going to do anything?

Later in the article:

A source told The Post the rowdy group — which had amassed in the area known as Gate 36, located next to the highway in El Paso — was pushed back to Mexico.

However, some members were arrested, and the rest of the people in the group were brought into the US for processing, according to local reports.

Border Patrol agent Orlando Marrero told the local KFOX14 news station, “The migrants that we encountered here today at Gate 36 will be taken to a processing center.”

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin later wrote on X that there had been one arrest for assaulting a soldier. He added that more charges related to destruction of property and assault were likely, citing Border Patrol sources.

Despite the commotion, the city of El Paso’s migrant dashboard showed 743 people had been released from custody and into the US on Thursday. They were either released on parole or to pursue asylum claims in accordance with President Biden’s current policies.

The reality is most of these people will be released if they haven’t been already. Even the one guy who was arrested for assault on a National Guardsman.

The media, of course, know this is a bad look and will be a campaign ad. They did their best to make this into someone else’s fault.

Here is Joe Scarborough of MSNBC leading the way. This actually looks more like an unhinged rant than a reasoned argument. Listen:

The White House also decided to release a statement. Of course, they blamed Trump:

“We are grateful for Border Patrol’s quick work to get the situation under control and apprehend the migrants.

“When the former President told Congressional Republicans to block the bipartisan border security agreement – he said to blame him for it. Well he got his wish, and the result was chaos after Governor Abbott’s Operational Lone Star and razorwire were overrun yesterday. While we cannot comment on individual cases, anyone who does not have a legal basis to remain in the United States is promptly removed.”

Some things:

  • The bill had the support of a couple of dumb Republicans. It wasn’t bipartisan.
  • Trump, like many other Republicans, said the bill sucked.
  • The bill would have spent tons of money and did nothing to secure the border.
    • It would let in 8000 illegals a day before anything could be done. Then it was up to the President to do something (which we know he will do nothing).
    • It did NOT secure the border with agents. I added agents to process illegals faster.
    • It DID NOT add more border wall or any protections.
    • It provided the President more power to open the border.
    • It adds more judges to Process illegal aliens.
  • Border patrol says they have enough men, money and the laws to secure the border. The laws on the books just need to be enforced.
  • When Trump left office, only 30,000 illegal crossing occurred. In February, there were 289,000.

Joe Biden opened the border. Everyone knows it. Trump has been out of office for over three years. No amount of gaslighting is going to change anyone’s perception.

Episode 869 – Really? That’s Racist?

Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, makes Democrats look stupid.

Dylan Mulvaney says social media should sensor everything but what he wants censored.

And Advil has decided to create a campaign that alienates white people because I guess they are making too much money.

Dumbasses of the Day

What More Do You Need?

Pain is Racist?

WHAT IS PAIN EQUITY?

Pain equity is achieved when everyone can reach their full health potential regardless of their age, race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic status, including receiving the highest-quality pain care and management. Discover other key terms related to pain equity below. 

OUR INITIATIVES

Learn how we’re inspiring change through research, education, and collaboration.

Some things:

This is a company that makes aspirin. Unless they are banning the sales of their product, or anyone else is doing it, what are they worried about? Do black people have more pain than white people?

ILLUMINATING THE IMPACT OF PAIN EQUITY THROUGH POWERFUL RESEARCH

Advil, with guidance from Morehouse School of Medicine, surveyed 2000 people in America to assess the real impact of pain on their lives. Topics included pain experience, life impact, pain management, and perceived bias. The study found that 64% of Black individuals felt their healthcare providers treat people of their race and ethnicity worse than people of other races and ethnicities.

This is a bad study from a college that has an agenda. I also want to point out this is a self reporting study.? Who did they interview? What medical clinics or doctors failed the black community? What did they have to say?

FUNDING SOLUTIONS TO PROGRESS MEDICAL EDUCATION

The launch of Advil’s Pain Equity Fund included grants to both Morehouse School of Medicine and BLKHLTH. Part of the grants will be used to partner with other leading experts to begin to develop a pain-equity-focused training for medical students that will be piloted next year.

The Bullshit Is Strong

The one problem the Left and the Biden administration are getting their narrative out there. One of the reason is because their narrative is just wrong.

  • Most people aren’t racist.
  • Most people aren’t bigots.
  • Most people aren’t trans-phobes.
  • There are no lynchings, killing or violence against gay people, blacks or trans-people.

When a situation comes up, they need to capitalize on it. In the case of the trans-folks, they need to lie about it. It turns out, people aren’t killing trans-people.

This is one of those ugly lies pushed by the media:

  • There was a fight between three girls and a “non-binary” person. It turns out the non-binary person is a girl.
  • The fight happened in the girls’ restroom at Owasso High School in Owasso, Oklahoma.
  • Benedict was taken to the hospital because these three gals beat the shit out of her.
  • Benedict died shortly after being released from the hospital.
  • Teen Vogue reported when the story broke that “a source who claimed to be the mother of Benedict’s best friend told a local outlet the cause of death was ‘complications from brain trauma,’ and that ‘three older girls were beating the victim and her daughter in the girl’s bathroom.’”
  • Also: Benedict texted a family member saying the teen “got jumped at school 3 on 1 had to go to the ER.”
  • The media ran with the story.
  • Here’s the problem: The police and the school all did not embrace the narrative. Instead of saying that, they stood silent and waited for test results.

Maybe they had reason. Turns out Benedict started the fight. Here she is in the hospital being interviewed by police:

That’s right! She started the fight. It gets worse. It turns out the police did not believe she had died of brain trauma. They decided to remain silent until the autopsy results were in.

Yeah, she didn’t die at the hands of bigoted bullies. She died of intentional suicide by drug overdose. According to the Daily Wire:

In a statement, the Owasso Police Department said it waited to release the cause of death until the toxicology report was completed, KJRH reported. That toxicology report indicates that Benedict died by suicide, the result of an overdose of Diphenhydramine and Fluoxetine, or, Benadryl and Prozac.

“From the beginning of this investigation, Owasso Police observed many indications that this death was the result of suicide,” the police statement said. “However, investigators did not wish to confirm that information without the final results being presented by the Oklahoma Medical Examiners Office.”

Of course, when the Left has a good story, they just keep beating on it. Last week, the Biden administration released a statement:

Yeah, the story is forgotten and a new batch of lies has taken root. I decided to bring this one up because we should not forget what they are doing.

Much Ado About Nothing

This is what the media is flipping about:

This is what Trump actually said:

The media got called out right away. But it doesn’t matter. The lies are what count.

This stuff is not working. The media is just looking worse.

Why Not?

According to Fox News:

“Marriage fundamentalism” promotes the ideas of “White supremacy,” according to a White George Mason University professor. 

Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family about her theory “that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy.” 

Marriage fundamentalism can be understood as an ideological and cultural phenomenon, where adherents espouse the superiority of the two-parent married family,” she wrote. “But it is also a hidden or unacknowledged structural mechanism of White heteropatriarchal family supremacy that is essential to the reproduction and maintenance of family inequality in the United States.”

Letiecq is an associate professor in the College of Education and Human Development at George Mason University, “specializing in the utilization of community-based participatory action research approaches, anti-racist research methods.”

The professor explained in the article that she is “a White, cisgender woman … currently living with my partner and co-raising our children in a committed heterosexual union outside the institution of marriage.” 

In the article, Letiecq said she drew upon “critical feminist and intersectional frameworks to delineate an overarching orientation to structural oppression and unequal power relations that advantages White heteropatriarchal nuclear families (WHNFs) and marginalizes others as a function of family structure and relationship status.” 

She argued that, “since colonization,” “marriage fundamentalism has been instantiated through laws, policies, and practices to unduly advantage WHNFs while simultaneously marginalizing Black, Indigenous, immigrant, mother-headed, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) families, among others.”

How Bad Is It When Taco Bell Can’t Make It

According to the New York Post:

Several Taco Bell restaurants in Oakland, California, have closed their dining rooms and are only offering drive-thru service as a surge in crime grips the city.

The Diversified Restaurant Group, which owns nearly 300 Taco Bell locations across California, Nevada, Kansas and Missouri, has closed the dining rooms at all four of its locations in Oakland due to safety concerns, KPIX reported.

One of the restaurants, located at 3535 35th Ave., has been robbed four times since November, twice when the restaurant was open for business, the outlet noted. Three weeks ago, robbers reportedly made off with a safe.

Kimberly Garibay, who works across the street, said the restaurant’s cash registers are not the only target.

“They just pull up out of nowhere and it’s not like they only rob the store. They rob everybody in there as well,” she said. “So it’s not as safe as it used to be. There’s a lot of crime now.”

“It’s just — what is Oakland coming to? Everything is getting worse. Things are closing down. You know, it’s just terrible,” another resident, Aliyah Musa, told KPIX.

Are You Seeing a Pattern?

According to NBC News:

A restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission District is catching attention online after recently bumping the price of its signature burrito from $11 to $22.

The owner of La Vaca Birria says it’s not an attempt to make more money, but an attempt to continue to break even as prices for everything rise.

When you walk into the restaurant, it smells, “either like birria, or charcoal,” said Ricardo Lopez, owner of La Vaca Birria.

For the last two years, he has operated the spot — built out of a former record store in the Mission.

His vision has been to make the kind of food his aunts, uncles and mother used to make — but kicked up a notch.    

The only problem is, the price of nearly everything he uses to make his food has gone up. Like onions for example.

“Before COVID, they were like $9 a sack at Restaurant Depot, I used to pick them up. During COVID, and after, it was $40 dollars. Right now, it’s $80,” said Lopez.

Their signature burrito is the most popular and nearly every ingredient that goes into it has doubled in cost. That’s the reason the owner said its price has, too.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/burrito-higher-price-inflation-restaurant-san-francisco-rcna143150?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=65f1ca069915b5000102c8c2&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Yep!

According to the New York Post:

More than three-quarters of Americans believe tipping culture has gone too far as prompts for gratuities on credit card machines pester consumers in virtually every establishment, according to a survey.

The survey by discount-finder website CouponBirds also found that about two-thirds of the 1,100 people polled tack feel pressured to tack on a couple of extra bucks because of “guilt tipping.”

Roughly 65% of those guilt tips are purely to avoid awkwardness with staffers who are typically standing right there and awaiting a gratuity.

Meanwhile, 63% guilt tip to avoid confrontation, per CouponBirds’ survey that was earlier reported on by Daily Mail.

It’s not always humans tipping humans, though — half of CouponBirds’ survey respondents said they had been asked to tip at an automated, self-service checkout.

It’s more than just that:

  • Tipping is done BEFORE service has been rendered (Uber Eats, Door Dash).
  • Tipping is included in the bill.
  • Servers expect it to pad their wage and will guilt you if you don’t tip. It’s not based on quality of service or food.
  • Why not tip everyone? McDonald’s and Burger King don’t expect tips.
  • Service and quality is beginning to suck! I have not tipped people.
  • The meals themselves has gotten expensive. You are adding 15-20% to the bill. That’s $15 for a $100 meal that was worth probably $75.

I tip, but the service better be remarkable, especially if they add the tip to the bill.

No matter the situation, just 30.7% of survey respondents said that they “always tip,” CouponBirds found, while 22.9% said they “often” did and just 5.7% “never” added a gratuity.

To offset the painfully unpleasant interactions, a staggering 84% said they believe the minimum wage should be increased for servers.

Some states have already done this, including the Big Apple, which implemented a $1 hourly wage hike, from $15 to $16, at the beginning of the year

In the remainder of New York State, the new minimum wage rose to $15, from $14.20.

If a server is getting $15 an hour, why should we tip at all? If I knew this, I wouldn’t tip.

Episode 868 – There’s No One to Help, Do It Yourself!

Donald Trump might be in some financial trouble thanks to New York’s malicious prosecution.

Joe Biden breaks the law again showing that he is the real fascist.

News

Here is some news:

  • Donald Trump must post a $450 million bond by Monday or he will not be able to appeal the judgement that was against him.
    • If he does not post the bond, New York will begin to confiscate property including Trump Tower.
    • This looks like it violates just a few articles of the Constitution.
    • There is hope that an appellate judge will lower the bond or stay the bond by Friday.
    • This is going to have the opposite affect the Dems are expecting in New York. If they can make shit up against Trump, they cam make stuff up against anybody.
  • The 6-3 ruling paves the way for Texas to enforce its controversial law, SB 4, which the Biden administration argued was an intrusion into federal immigration enforcement, while it remains pending in a federal appeals court.
    • Mexico made a statement: “Mexico recognizes the importance of a uniform migration policy and the bilateral efforts with the United States to ensure that migration is safe, orderly and respectful of human rights, and is not affected by state or local legislative decisions. In this regard, Mexico will not accept, under any circumstances, repatriations by the State of Texas.”
  • Joe Biden has just forgive another $6.5 billion in student debt.
    • This applies to 77,000 people.
    • The people who qualify for the latest round of student loan forgiveness are public service employees, such as teachers, nurses, social workers and firefighters.
    • There is no talk to where this money is coming from.
    • He is violating the Supreme Court ruling. This man is a dictator.
  • On Monday, Ketanji Brown Jackson made headlines again — this time because during oral arguments in the social media censorship case Murthy v. Missouri, she voiced concerns over the fact that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was doing exactly what it was designed to do: restraining the federal government.

Episode 867 – Gee, Could It Be Something Else?

The Media wonders why diseases that have already been eradicated in the United States are suddenly making a curtain. They blame Conservatives. I think it might be something else.

New York City is becoming a shithole and is beginning to smell like it.

And the wonder drug, marijuana, might not be as much a wonder as has been pushed.

Could It Be Something Else?

According to the Guardian:

Though measles had been eradicated in the US in 2000, the disease is expected to continue a nationwide spread primarily because of vaccine skepticism, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said.

Measles, one of the most transmissible diseases, has been found in recent weeks in some north-eastern US states, according to the CDC.

The health agency warned healthcare workers about an uptick in measles infections and urged them to be on alert for new cases.

An email from the CDC sent to healthcare workers last week said the agency was notified of 23 confirmed US cases of measles between 1 December 2023 and 23 January 2024.

Most of these infections were in children and teenagers who had not gotten their measles vaccines despite being eligible. So far, measles cases have been found in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and the Washington DC area.

Taylor Nelson, a University of Missouri healthcare center infectious disease physician, said to the news station KRCG that measles would probably spread to the midwest and the west coast given the situation laid out by the CDC.

Later:

The CDC email said measles cases often originate from unvaccinated or undervaccinated people who travel internationally and then transmit the disease to others who are not vaccinated against the disease.

Hmm, I wonder where measles came from. It’s been eradicated since 2000. Why is it making a comeback? Could it be all the illegal aliens entering the country from places that do not have any vaccination programs?

Other diseases are making a comeback:

  • Polio (Afghanistan, Middle East).
  • Bubonic plague.
  • Scarlet fever.
  • Monkey pox.
  • Mumps.
  • Chicken pos.
  • Whooping cough.
  • Cholera (Haiti).
  • Tuberculosis.

As far as most people being unvaccinated, I call bullshit. You can’t do much of anything without being vaccinated. including going to school.

A Sh*thole

According to the New York Post:

It can really stink to live here.

New Yorkers are being smoked out of their own apartments by the stench of marijuana. Since cannabis was legalized in the city in 2021, its pungent odor has become increasingly common on NYC streets, and now Gothamites say they can’t even escape it in their own homes.

“The smell is so strong it wakes me up or makes it hard to relax and go to bed. Sometimes I get nauseous or allergic itchy eyes and a sore throat from how concentrated it is,” said Delaney, 25, a business owner who lives in Cobble Hill. For the past six months, the the odor has been unbearable in her fourth floor walk-up.

“It’s been almost every single night, primarily in my bedroom between 10 p.m. and 2 p.m.,” she said.

She went to college in Oregon shortly after cannabis was legalized there, so she’s used to the occasional whiff. But this smell is next level, and it’s driving her crazy — literally.

“I live alone so I often second guess myself or feel like I am overreacting, but then I had family in town and they walked into my apartment and said it smelled like it had been hot-boxed,” she said. 

Delaney has emailed with her building manager and landlord about the issue. While they were sympathetic to her plight, they said there wasn’t much they could do, so long as people are using cannabis in their own apartments

And, she’s not even sure where the smell is coming from.

“I’ve even run around the building in my PJs and slippers — quite the sight — at midnight to see if I could figure out what apartment it was coming from,” she said. “I narrowed it down to a few, but since they all had their doors and windows closed it was really just my best guess.”

More Bad News

According to the New York Post:

A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association and funded by the National Institutes of Health found that those who smoke weed daily are at a significantly higher risk of suffering heart attack and stroke than those who don’t.

“We know that toxins are released when cannabis is burned, similar to those found in tobacco smoke,” said Abra Jeffers, a data analyst at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and former researcher at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, where the study was based.

“We’ve known for a long time that smoking tobacco is linked to heart disease, and this study is evidence that smoking cannabis appears to also be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States,” Jeffers’ statement continued. “Cannabis use could be an important, underappreciated source of heart disease.”

Researchers analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 434,104 American adults aged 18 to 74 between 2016 and 2020. About 4% were daily cannabis users, 7% used the drug about five days a month and 88.9% had not used any marijuana in the past 30 days.

Among current users, about three-fourths said they mostly smoked the drug.

“Cannabis use is increasing in both prevalence and frequency, while conventional tobacco smoking is declining,” said Dr. Salomeh Keyhani, a professor of medicine at UCSF and senior author of the study, in a separate statement. “Cannabis use by itself might, over time, become the more important risk factor.”  

Keyhani’s report showed that people who inhaled cannabis via combustion were 25% more likely to have a heart attack than those who didn’t use the drug at all. The daily habit also increased their chances of having a stroke by 42%.

The likelihood of experiencing a cardiovascular condition was much lower for non-daily users but still higher than for those who did not use marijuana at all.

Those who used the drug sporadically had a 3% increased risk for heart attack compared with nonusers and a 5% increase for stroke.

Nothing Costs a Dollar Anymore

According to the New York Post:

Dollar Tree is planning to close nearly 1,000 stores collectively between its namesake general discount stores and subsidiary chain, Family Dollar.

Family Dollar will close 600 locations in the first half of 2024 and 370 stores over the next several years as store leases expire, the company said Wednesday.

Dollar Tree, which bought Family Dollar for $8.5 billion in 2015, will also be closing 30 stores as leases expire.

“Our biggest problem right now is getting enough merchandise into the stores fast enough so the consumer can respond,” said CEO Rick Dreiling, adding that Family Dollar was continuing to be hurt by macroeconomic uncertainties.

Dollar stores have suffered in recent months as consumer spending habits have shifted, favoring e-commerce platforms such as Temu, the Chinese app that has ballooned in popularity for offering everyday must-haves on the app for as low as 99 cents.

Later in the article:

Also on Wednesday, Dollar Tree reported a net loss of $1.71 billion, or $7.85 per share in the quarter ended Feb. 3, compared with a year-ago profit of $452.2 million, or $2.04 per share.

It expects 2024 sales between $31 billion and $32 billion, the mid-point of which is below the estimate of $31.65 billion, according to LSEG data.

Representatives for Dollar Tree did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Recently, Family Dollar has also been plagued with health and safety concerns — including when the Food and Drug Administration said cinnamon sold by the deep-discount retailer was contaminated with high levels of lead.

Weeks earlier, Family Dollar pleaded guilty to selling goods at 400 stores across the Southeast that came from a rodent-infested warehouse. As a result, it will cough up a record $41.7 million in fines to the feds.

Episode 866 – Well, That Didn’t Go Well!

Robert Hur is thrown in front of Congress to talk about Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents. It doesn’t go well for Democrats.

TikTok may be on its last legs.

And the United States might have let in the wrong illegal alien. Let’s talk about it.

Some Big News

Some news:

  • Donald Trump clenches the Republican nomination yesterday.
  • A Fulton County judge has quashed six counts in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants. 
  • The House of Representatives has passed a bill that could pave the way for TikTok to be banned in U.S. app stores. 
    • The bill, led by House China select committee Chair Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., and ranking member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., would block TikTok in the U.S. if its parent company, Bytedance, does not divest from it within 165 days of passage. It would also require it to be bought by a country that is not a U.S. adversary.
  • Robert Hur, the special counsel investigating Joe Biden having classified was answering question in front of the the House.
    • Everything he said was in his report. There was nothing new.
      • Joe Biden illegally had classified data.
      • He shared the data with unclassified people.
      • He lied about it to him and the FBI.
      • He’s too old and senile to be charged and go through a criminal case.

One of the things I loved is how the Democrats said this “exonerated” Joe Biden. It didn’t. In fact, this hearing made Biden look worse because Robert Hur had to make it clear Joe Biden DID lie and is NOT EXONERRATED.

In one of the more entertaining interaction, Primyla Jayapal is trying to push Old Joe was exonerated and Robert Hur says no, he wasn’t. She then just ignores him and talks over him.

This is a bad look for Democrats.

It Just Keeps Getting Better

Other crimes this week:

  • Three undocumented immigrants from Guatemala are accused of forcing a woman into a vehicle and sexually battering her at two locations just west of Lake Worth Beach, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday.
  • A man accused of killing a young couple after speeding through a stop sign in Dallas over the weekend bonded out of jail. Just before 11 p.m. on Saturday, Dallas police reported that Antonio Ortiz, 22, drove his truck through a stop sign at an intersection and collided with a young couple. The crash killed Milena Wilske, 18, and her boyfriend, Angel Ortuno.
  • An illegal immigrant from Venezuela has been charged with manslaughter for a wrong-way accident in Missouri that killed a 12-year-old boy. Edina Bracho, 33, was allegedly speeding the wrong way in Hazelwood in December — doing 75 mph in a 40-mph zone — when her minivan collided with a Jeep carrying Travis Wolfe and his parents, Timothy and Stephanie, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported.
    • The 12-year-old was rushed to St. Louis Children’s Hospital, where he was placed on life support for three months before succumbing to his injuries last Wednesday.
    • The Venezuelan national was charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of first-degree endangering a child and one count of operating a motor vehicle without a valid license. She is being held on a $500,000 cash-only bond with a hearing set for April 8.

Just Why?

According to the Post Millennial:

Over a dozen US Catholic bishops gathered at St. Louis University for a private meeting with transgender-identifying individuals and their families.

The event, organized by New Ways Ministry, a Catholic LGBTQ advocacy group, aimed to foster dialogue between people who identify as transgender and Catholic church officials. According to the New Catholic Reporter, the meeting was intended to provide an opportunity for bishops  to “better understand the experience of trans people and inform the pastoral care in their respective dioceses.”

Among the attending bishops was John Stowe from Kentucky, a member of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual who has frequently expressed support for more LGBTQ involvement in the Catholic church. Stowe emphasized the importance of respecting transgender individuals’ self-identification, stating that transgender people “have a right to be called as they wish to be called.” Stowe also stated that  the issue of transgenderism is not something that is “Fabricated.”

“And if we would all stop and hear the struggles that individuals went through,” Stowe said, “we’d realize this is not just an issue of gender theory; it’s people’s lived experience.”

The Catholic church has continued to move toward a more LGBTQ-friendly direction, despite receiving backlash from devout Catholic members. In the past, Pope Francis has labeled gender ideology as dangerous because it “blurs the differences and the value of men and women.” He also called for commissioned studies on gender theory, calling it an “ugly ideology.”

“I have asked that studies be carried out into this ugly ideology of our times, which cancels out the differences and makes everything the same,” the pope said. “Canceling out the differences means canceling out humanity.”

However, Francis recently called for transgender-identifying individuals to be welcomed into the Sacramental life of the Catholic Church. Last October, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández signed a statement with the approval of Pope Francis that extends opportunities for baptism, godparenthood, and participation to be witnesses for Catholic weddings for trans-identifying individuals.

Nothing Bad Can Happen Here

This video was recorded in Pittsburgh in 2022. It is the Pittsburgh mayor, Bill Peduto, answering questions about closing police academies at a round table conversation with a bunch of college students. Here’s what he had to say:

First question you might ask yourself is why is this a debate in front of college students? These kids do not put anything into the community. You would think he would have this debate in front of, you know, tax payers. They might have a different opinion than a bunch of kids.

Well, now we know what new policing looks like in Pittsburgh. Here is a news story from Channel 11 news in Pittsburgh:

Can you imagine being a criminal in Pittsburgh right now? You have just been told no cop will respond to a call between 3-7 AM.

Time to get a gun, folks.

Episode 865 – I Thought He Cut the Deficit?

Joe Biden is so proud of cutting the deficit, he decided it was time to increase it.

New York has quietly passed a law that will eliminate one of their signature cuisines. This is what Leftism does. It destroys, it never creates.

And one of our elites has decided she’s way too important to be held responsible for anything.

Ungood!

Inflation is going to kill the Biden administration. Here is some of the news from the Wall Street Journal:

  • Consumer prices rose 3.2% in February from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, up slightly from economists’ expectations of 3.1%.
  • The second straight month of firmer-than-expected inflation is likely to reinforce the central bank’s wait-and-see posture toward rate reductions when officials meet next week.
  • Core prices, which exclude food and energy items in an effort to better track inflation’s underlying trend, rose 0.4% from January—more than the 0.3% economists expected.
  • Core prices were up 3.8% from a year earlier.
  • The report showed prices for energy goods rose 3.6% from a month earlier, a reflection of the rise in gasoline prices last month.
  • Services prices remained elevated, rising 0.5% from January, and 5% from a year earlier.

https://www.wsj.com/economy/inflation-february-cpi-report-interest-rate-b827c0e7

Dumbass of the Day

I Thought He Cut the Deficit?

According to the New York Times:

President Biden proposed a $7.3 trillion budget on Monday packed with tax increases on corporations and high earners, new spending on social programs and a wide range of efforts to combat high consumer costs like housing and college tuition.

The proposal includes only relatively small changes from the budget plan Mr. Biden submitted last year, which went nowhere in Congress, though it reiterates his call for lawmakers to spend about $100 billion to strengthen border security and deliver aid to Israel and Ukraine.

Most of the new spending and tax increases included in the fiscal year 2025 budget again stand almost no chance of becoming law this year, given that Republicans control the House and roundly oppose Mr. Biden’s economic agenda. Last week, House Republicans passed a budget proposal outlining their priorities, which are far afield from what Democrats have called for.

He is proposing a corporate tax hike to 21% for business and wants to raise taxes on anyone earning $400K or higher.

This will not pass through Congress. He did the same thing last year, calling for a $6 trillion budget. This didn’t make it either.

He plans to use this as a campaign pledge to show the difference between him and Trump. I would take that challenge if I were Trump and explain that the government sucks at handling your money.

It’s Finally Happened

According to the New York Post:

New York City has quietly approved a controversial green plan to require pizzerias and matzah bakeries using decades-old wood- and coal-fired stoves to cut their smoky pollutants by 75%.

Mayor Eric Adams’ Department of Environmental Protection said the fresh edict takes effect April 27, with some city businesses having already coughed up more than $600,000 for new smoke-eating systems in anticipation of the expected mandate.

“You are going after pizza? Glorious New York pizza?” groused Mike Dabin in a recent online comment to the city DEP. “Can’t you go after Diesel Trucks instead of pizza ovens?”

Businesses using wood and anthracite stoves can apply for a variance but need evidence to prove they are unable to comply with the mandate.

Pizza lovers and some entrepreneurs went bonkers when The Post first reported on the proposed rule last summer, worried that the dough needed to comply with the measure would put beloved spots out of business — or at least affect the taste of their tomato and mozzarella slices.

Some Are More Equal Than Other

According to the New York Post:

Soap star Haley Pullos has blamed another driver for a wrong-way car crash that led to her DUI arrest — and asked a judge to dismiss his civil lawsuit over serious injuries.

Pullos, 25, known for playing Molly Lansing-Davis on “General Hospital,” was allegedly under the influence in April 2023 when she drove into oncoming traffic on a Pasadena freeway, flying over a barrier and slamming into the other car.

The actress denied responsibility for the crash and asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss driver Courtney Wilder’s civil lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.

She argued that “the damages” were “proximately caused by either the sole negligent and/or intentional conduct of plaintiffs,” and that his recovery costs, “if any, should be reduced by an amount proportionate to the amount by which plaintiffs’ negligent.”

The “Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia” alum further claimed that any damages were out of her control and demanded all claims to be dismissed, according to the news outlet.

There’s more to this story:

  • When firefighters freed the actress from the wreck, she allegedly became “violent” and shouted, “This is a $400 f–king shirt!”
  • Police reportedly discovered weed edibles and mini bottles of tequila inside Pullos’ car and authorities said she had the “smell of alcohol on her breath, slurred speech, and watery eyes.”
  • She also was accused of driving the wrong way on the freeway.
  • The police said Pullos swerved, flew over the divider, and into oncoming traffic. She crashed headfirst into Wilder’s car while driving 60 MPH.
  • The victim claimed he suffered serious internal injuries in the crash that required him to be transported to the ER and have emergency surgery.
  • He was in the hospital for weeks and is going to require more surgery.

This is a clear case of elite privilege.

Episode 864 – He Can’t Even Apologize Right

Joe Biden has his State of the Union address on Thursday. Unsurprisingly, he had to apologize for something he said over the weekend.

The border crisis is so bad it might be time to go after Mexico before there are more dead Americans.

And a brutal assault in St. Louis really has to make us think about what we are doing wrong with our children.

Dumbass of the Day

A Mess of It All Around

Joe Biden had his State of the Union speech last week. It went about as well as could be expected.

There was one part that got him into a lot of trouble from everywhere.

Yes, he was bullied into talking about it.

Yes, he mispronounced Laken Reilly’s name.

Yes, his statement about thousands being killed by illegals didn’t make any sense.

No, there is no parallel to his son’s death and the death of Laken Reilly.

None of this is why he apologized.

According to the Daily Wire:

President Joe Biden apologized over the weekend for calling the illegal alien who allegedly murdered a young woman in Georgia an “illegal” during his recent State of the Union speech.

The young woman — 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley — was brutally murdered allegedly by Venezuelan national Jose Ibarra, who is reportedly an active gang member.

Biden faced significant blowback from Democrats for correctly calling Ibarra an “illegal,” which comes as the party tries to court the millions of illegal aliens who have entered the U.S. under Biden.

Here is what he said:

He has a little more important things to apologize than by calling the illegal alien and illegal alien.

Couple of other things:

  • The murderer was illegal.
  • The murderer committed multiple crimes before committing murder.
  • The illegal alien murderer does not deserve respect.
  • Trump said illegal aliens were poisoning the blood of the country. They are.
  • Illegal aliens did not build the country.
  • Illegal aliens are not improving the economy.

This man is going to maintain political correctness until he loses the election.

Time to Deal with Mexico

According to Fox News:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is warning agents to be on the lookout for members of a notorious Venezuelan prison gang coming across the southern border — just as the socialist country is refusing to take its citizens back. 

A CBP source provided Fox News with an internal CBP intelligence bulletin revealing tattoos and identifiers for Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang. Members of that gang have been entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border.

Fox News reported this week that the brother of the suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley has ties to the gang. Both the suspect and his brother are Venezuelans who entered the U.S. illegally.

Federal authorities have been warning that the gang, also known as TdA and known for its violent turf wars as it expanded into other countries in South and Central America, is trying to establish itself in the U.S., where police are already linking it to organized crime. The FBI has also warned that the gang could team up with the bloodthirsty MS-13.

Last month two suspects in the assault of two NYPD officers were revealed to be members of TdA.

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To

According to the Post Millennial:

Police in St Louis, Missouri have arrested a teenage girl in connection to the brutal beating of a student from Hazelwood East High School.

On Saturday, police arrested a 15-year-old girl in connection to the beating of the student, according to Fox 2. The girl who was beaten, with assailants smashing her head against the concrete three times, has been identified as Kailee in previous reports. She is in critical condition.

The graphic video of the incident showed a black teenage girl involved in the incident repeatedly hitting the head of a white girl on the concrete. The video has since gone viral on social media.

Hazelwood School district made a statement about the incident, saying, “It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt. Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children. The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved, and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need.” 

“We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children. Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community,” the statement added. 

I want to point something out that was brought to my attention by Libs of TikTok: In Hazelwood East High School, the district who won a DEI award in 2022 and the school where students beat a girl who’s now in critical condition, just 5% of students are proficient in Math and just 21% in reading.

Some things:

  • The assaulted girl was white and the bully was black.
  • This was not racial. The video shows a black girl defending the white girl and black boys fighting.
  • This shows a problem with our children and how we are raising them.
    • No father.
    • No God.
    • We are all victims. No hope.
    • Race may be a part of that issue.

Until we handle the social problems of this society, none of this will ever be fixed.

I’m Sure All Will Be Fine

According to CNN:

One German man has redefined “man on a mission.” A 62-year-old from Magdeburg deliberately got 217 Covid-19 vaccine shots in the span of 29 months, according to a new study, going against national vaccine recommendations. That’s an average of one jab every four days.

In the process, he became a walking experiment for what happens to the immune system when it is vaccinated against the same pathogen repeatedly. A correspondence published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases outlined his case and concluded that while his “hypervaccination” did not result in any adverse health effects, it also did not significantly improve or worsen his immune response.

The man, who is not named in the correspondence in compliance with German privacy rules, reported receiving 217 Covid shots between June 2021 and November 2023. Of those, 134 were confirmed by a prosecutor and through vaccination center documentation; the remaining 83 were self-reported, according to the study.

“This is a really unusual case of someone receiving that many Covid vaccines, clearly not following any type of guidelines,” said Dr. Emily Happy Miller, an assistant professor of medicine and of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who did not participate in the research.

The man did not report any vaccine-related side effects and has not had a Covid infection to date, as evidenced by repeated antigen and PCR testing between May 2022 and November 2023. The researchers caution that it’s not clear that his Covid status is directly because of his hypervaccination regimen.

Episode 863 – A Good Start!

The Republican Party releases a great campaign ad. This is the stuff they should be pointing out.

Mike Johnson comes up with an idea that could save America money and a lot of stress. I think it’s a great idea but doesn’t go far enough.

And a Democrat is Kentucky comes up with an idea to curb the sexual abuse of children. Of course, this idea encourages the sexual abuse of children.

Dumbasses of the Day

Here is Joy Reid, talking about why Republicans are voting for Republicans. As you would suspect, it’s a weird take.

OK. I proclaim that Democrats vote for Joe Biden because they are all drug addicted, corrupted pedophiles.

Here is Joe Biden being senile again:

This led to the question that seems really obvious. I would have asked this question in a very different way. More on that in a second:

A Great Ad

A Good Start

Or We Could Throw Them in Jail

According to the New York Post:

A Kentucky Democrat suggested sex dolls styled to resemble children could help prevent pedophiles from abusing kids, sparking condemnation and outrage from Republicans in the state.

“This might be the most disturbing thing you see today. Watch KY Democratic Senator Karen Berg propose Child Sex Dolls for Pedophiles. This type of disturbing proposition has no place in the Commonwealth,” the Republican Party of Kentucky posted Friday with video of her comments.

The post was in response to Democratic state Sen. Karen Berg saying in a committee hearing on Thursday that “minor-attracted persons” could benefit from sex dolls that look like children, arguing the dolls could give pedophiles a “release” that might prevent them from abusing kids.

“There are what they call ‘MAPS,’ Minor Attracted Persons, and the limited amount of research that’s done on these dolls, guys, suggest that they actually – for people who are attracted to minors – that these dolls actually decrease their proclivity to go out and attack children,” Berg said, according to video of the hearing. “That it actually gives them a release that makes them less likely to go outside of their home.”

Republicans have released an add from this crazy bitch’s speech using her own words:

This craziness has led to Kentucky coming up with a new law. Later in the article:

Kentucky lawmakers were discussing a bill, HB 207, which would make it a felony to be in possession of a sex doll that is styled like a child, as well as making trafficking, importing or promoting child sex dolls a felony, the Courier Journal reported. The bill would also include AI-generated photos of children in the state’s law against viewing and promoting sexual images of minors.

Oh God!

According to the Daily Wire:

The Major League Baseball video game “MLB The Show” is introducing women players in its 2024 edition of the game even though professional women’s baseball doesn’t exist.

For the first time, gamers will be able to create and play with a woman baseball player in the “Road to the Show: Women Pave Their Way” game mode. The “Road to the Show” game mode, which has been a staple of “The Show” throughout the years, allows users to customize a player and play through an MLB career.

Mollie Braley, a narrative designer, for “MLB The Show” told PlayStation.Blog that the game’s new feature allowing people to play as women “was inspired by the stories of women in baseball.”

“Throughout history, women have been making waves in the sport,” Braley added. “These include legends such as Toni Stone, who was one of the first women ever to play professional baseball, and has a new Storyline in MLB The Show 24. Our team wanted to create something where dreams become a reality, and we felt like adding this to Road to the Show was the perfect opportunity that gave our players the option to experience this.”

Kelsie Whitmore, who plays on the Women’s USA Baseball National Team, said:

“This new gameplay experience is a unique pivot in the baseball world that will encourage, inspire, and motivate individuals to chase their dreams.”

Pivotal how? Are women suddenly going to be good enough to play Major League Baseball? Is anyone actually preventing a woman for trying out for a men’s baseball team?

“To me, this project is a great opportunity for the world to be informed of women who play baseball and that taking their skills to the next level is possible. My hopes for this project is to educate others that women/girls do play baseball and that they are capable of competing in this game at every level.”

“Educate women and girls”? So women can hit a baseball 400 feet? So women can pitch a baseball 95 miles an hour and they have just been suppressed from doing so? Do you think if there was a woman who could do any of these things, she would not be signed.

What really annoys me is the femininization of sports in general. Their are now female commentators in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB. They are making asses out of themselves. In the NHL, females are applying strategy from the women’s game to the men’s game and the commentators are arguing with them.

We Aren’t Far Behind

According to the Post Millennial:

The Trudeau government tabled Bill C-63 Monday, entitled The Online Harms Act. At a late afternoon news conference, federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Arif Virani advertised the legislation as a way to “create stronger online protection for children and better safeguard everyone in Canada from online hate and other types of harmful content.”

However, the bill targets a cornucopia of free speech issues and seeks to “protect all people in Canada from hatred.” The legislation would create a definition of “hatred,” increase existing penalties for “hate propaganda offenses” and promulgate a unique Criminal Code entry for a “hate crime offense” while offering new “remedies” for violating online hate speech within the Canadian Human Rights Act.

The “new standalone hate crime offense … would apply to every offense in the Criminal Code and in any other Act of Parliament allowing penalties up to life imprisonment to denounce and deter this hateful conduct as a crime in itself,” according to a technical briefing that preceded the news conference.

A human rights tribunal could also impose fines of up to $70,000 for posting “hate speech,” according to the bill.

The legislation would include an online censorship czar, dubbed a “digital safety ombudsperson,” within a new government agency called the Digital Safety Commission of Canada. This bureaucracy would be given the authority to target anyone seen to be violating the Online Harms Act and to “enforce legislative and regulatory obligations and hold online services accountable for their responsibilities through auditing for compliance, issuing compliance orders and penalizing services that fail to comply.”

Can We Say Illegal Alien Felon?

Some things:

  • It’s amazing that criminals commit crimes when it is being pinned on the Biden administration.
    • If it white man commits a crime, it is white supremacy because that’s what all white people are.
    • If a black man or trans-whatever, it’s the gun.
    • We are letting people out of prisons because they are not responsible for committing crimes, but it is the fault of white men and civilization.
    • Here, it is the fault of the administration, so we should blame him.
    • Problem is he wasn’t supposed to be here.
