Episode 658 – There’s More, Joe?!

Joe Biden keeps digging himself a hole but the media continues to defend him.

Mars Corporations decides to virtue signal but do they practice what they preach.

And Harvard decides doctors need to be woke and activists.

 

News

Here is some news:

  • Inflation has gone down to 6.5%, down from 7.1%.
    • This is the largest drop since 2020.
    • This is beyond what forecasters thought would drop.
    • Biden celebrated this:

Again, I wouldn’t get too excited about this. The interest rate went from 0% to 4.5%. Inflation should go down because people are spending less. The problem is this causes stagnation. That’s scary. That will lead to job loss and the lack of innovation.

Biden also fails to understand that inflation is still three times higher than it needs to be. The volatility of the stock market shows this.

  • The House yesterday passed a Born Alive bill.
    • The bill states that if a baby is born alive due to a botched abortion, it has to be brought to a hospital and cared for.
    • The count was 220-210. All 210 no votes were Democrats. One Democrat and three Republicans did not vote.
    • Democrats were really upset about this.

Here is Jerry Nadler making a non-sensical argument:

Sat what? So it is safer for the baby to be left with the doctor that wants to kill it?

Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Leader, tried to spin this too.

Government mandated pregnancies? There was something in that bill that forced women to get pregnant? Of course not. This is a stupid statement.

 

  • There was also had a bill that condemned violence against pregnancy centers and churches that provide pregnancy services.
    • All but three Democrats voted against the bill.
    • Their main argument is that there is violence against abortion clinic. I have a few things about this argument:
      • How about there should not be violence against both.
      • Right now, abortion clinics are not being attacked. Pregnancy centers and churches are being attacked!
    • This just shows Democrats don’t mind violence if it goes their way.
    • This is what Republicans need to do. Make the Democrats publicly take a stance.
  • Joe Biden cannot seem to get out of his own way.
    • Another box of classified material was found in his home in Delaware.
    • It was found in his locked garage next to his Corvette.
    • Mind you a garage is not a SCIF.
    • A lot of this stuff he had was when he was Vice President. He couldn’t declassify anything.
    • Merrick Garland may be force to get an independent council here especially after the Mar a Lago raid.

Peter Doocy lit up Biden on this situation:

What a load of crap. He committed a crime. He takes no responsibility.

But the media will protect Old Joe as much as they can. Here are the morons on The View explaining why this is not a big deal for Joe but is still a big deal for Trump:

How does this show stay on television?

Go Woke, Go Broke

Some of these companies just don’t get it. They keep going woke and refuse to learn from other companies that crash and burn when they do things like this.

According to Fox News:

M&M’s creator Mars will release “all-female” M&M’s candy packages for a limited time to honor women who are “flipping the status quo.”

The company announced the feminist-forward candy wrappers Thursday, saying it will exclusively display M&M’s female characters: the green, brown and most recently introduced purple M&M.

In addition to featuring the three female M&M’s on the wrappers, each package in this limited run will only include the corresponding green, brown and purple candy-coated chocolates. 

So, I get a pack of M&Ms for more money because it is a special pack and I get less colors? I’m to be good with that?

The packs will only be available at the M&M stores which is a laugh. It is not a serious enough to make it easily available. I even went to their website and you can’t even order them online. I guess they don’t take support of women serious enough to make this promotion open enough to put this in stores. That’s why Mars Corporation never gets into too much trouble. This crap is always hidden.

Finally, the picture of the M&Ms is upside down with the statement, “Supporting WOMEN FLIPPING the STATUS QUO.” I’m going to ignore the idiocy of the statement. Women do not earn 70% of what a man earns or are passed over for promotions and crap like that. By the way, all that crap was debunked in the 1980s by Thomas Sowell on live television. But, does Mars Corporation really flip the status quo when it comes to women?

I decided to do some grueling research. By that I mean I spent 10 minutes looking some things up. By that, I mean I spent about 4 minutes looking things up. Here’s what I found:

  • The world population shows that women have an advantage, 52-48%.
  • The board of directors for Mars in the United States is 7 people, 2 are women (29%). The CEO and CFO are men.
  • Mars is an international company that has nine regions, each led by a global leader. There are 9 leaders and two are women (22%).

Yeah, Mars Corporation doesn’t practice what they preach. They’re not “flipping the status quo”. This is pure virtue signaling.

Transgenderism

The Washington Examiner released an article yesterday talking about how transgenderism is having a tough time trying stay scientifically legitimate. The scientific community has been trying to find some physical different between a trans person and a regular person. Their texts point to mutations in DNA and physical appearance, such as inter-sex people, but, outside of that, they can find nothing physical when it comes to finding the difference between a trans-woman and a man.

The study points to documentation. For transgenderism, the is very little documentation. That leads to our next stories on the trans movement.

 

Harvard Doesn’t Get It

Harvard has decided to be woke at the price of infants.

According to Fox News:

Students at Harvard Medical School can learn about how to provide healthcare to infants who are supposedly LGBTQIA+, according to a course catalog description.

In the course “Caring for Patients with Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities, and Sex Development,” which is regularly available at the school, students are offered the opportunity to work with “patients [who] identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual,” as first reported by The College Fix.

“Clinical exposure and education will focus on serving gender and sexual minority people across the lifespan, from infants to older adults,” the course description says.

Of course, the classes have to do with social justice. They have to throw in that this will help some sort of minority. They made up sexual and gender minority.

I also want to ask a question: What kind of identity can an infant even have? They spend the first year trying to identify their body parts like hands and feet. They are going to be able to identify who they want to have sex with ten years from now?

The course also lets students “engage in a mentored scholarly endeavor” such as “advocacy, quality improvement, medical education, original research, or public health project.”

In other words, they are teaching these folks to be trans activists.

Massachusetts General Hospital, which serves as the primary meeting location for the medical school’s 2022-23 academic year, offers a variety of transgender surgical procedures for individuals 18 and older, as well as resources for transgender youth, such as referrals to LGBTQ support groups.

So they are teaching our future doctors on how to poison and cut off healthy body parts on children.

 

Who’d of Thunk It

Who’d of thunk this?

According to Outkick:

In a plot twist that nobody saw coming, Yale transgender swimmer Iszac Henig, who finished the 2021-22 NCAA season as a women’s all-American while transitioning from female to male, is now swimming on the guy’s team and is struggling mightily to not finish in last place at meets.

Perhaps you’ll remember the uproar in December 2021 when OutKick first told you about a male-to-female swimmer named Lia Thomas who was not just beating women’s swimming records at the University of Pennsylvania but destroying those pool and school records.

You know why she can’t win against men, or even compete? Because she’s a woman. Reality doesn’t care about one’s fantasy world.

Maybe someone at Harvard should write a study about this.

So Much Co-Existing

So much acceptance and co-existing by the LGBTQ group.

According to the Daily Wire:

A trans activist lobbied to get a woman fired from her job as a community manager at the video game company Limited Run Games and appears to have been successful.

Social media user Purple Tinker tweeted several grievances against a woman named Kara Lynn on January 6.

He tweeted:

“The community manager for @LimitedRunGames, @/KaraLynne0326, is a transphobe who follows a veritable who’s who of right-wing transphobic creeps. Unless and until she is fired from the company permanently, I am not giving them another single dime. (CW: Transphobia).”

This was sent at 9 AM. What were her sins? She questioned why men who think they are women are allowed to use restroom, she followed and commented on posts by Libs of Tik Tok and Conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong.

By the way, this garbage that we call a human being deleted his account the next day.

By 5 PM, eight hours after this cowardly monster tweeted this, Limited Run Games fired Kara Lynne and put out this tweet:

“LRG respects all personal opinions, however we remain committed to supporting an inclusive culture. Upon investigating a situation, an employee was terminated. Our goal as a company is to continue to foster a positive and safe environment for everyone.”

I love that that these people consider it inclusive to exclude someone (firing her) who has a different opinion than them. This is just another example of cancel culture. She should, and probably will sue and will win.

Goodbye

 

Rynn Azerial Willgohs, a 50-year-old transgender woman, has been rapidly researching ways to flee the United States. She’s from the U.S., but with physical attacks against transgender and nonbinary people on the rise and lawmakers targeting transgender people with increasingly draconian legislation that criminalizes their very existence, Willgohs is worried. 

Attacks on trans people are on the rise, really? Name the last one. If there was one, you better believe we’d be hearing about every day for the next two years. Look at what the media has done with January 6th.

The national landscape, accompanied by some of her own personal experiences, has made a future in the U.S. feel untenable for Willgohs. In March 2021, when Willgohs had just started her transition, she was traveling across the state for work when she decided to stop at a public bathroom. A man followed her inside and pushed her up against a wall. “I thought he was going to choke me to death,” she told VICE News. Today, she mostly feels safe in Fargo, North Dakota, where she lives, but she’s careful in rural areas. And when she leaves the state, she often doesn’t feel safe at all.

“There’s like 30 states right now I wouldn’t even drive through,” Willgohs said. 

He’s a trans-activist. Why does that matter? The attack in the bathroom is probably BS. And he can drive through any state and no one will care.

Her own experiences, and the increasingly hostile national climate, inspired Willgohs to start TRANSport, a budding non-profit that seeks to help trans people transition, navigate bureaucratic mazes, and ultimately finance their journeys as they flee the country. 

Told you he was an activist.

Willgohs is considering claiming asylum in Iceland, a country she visited last summer and considers more accepting—and safer—than the U.S. And she felt like being trans was a “non-issue” while there. Though there’s currently a lack of clarity around whether it’s even possible for trangender U.S. citizens to claim asylum elsewhere—and an expert told VICE News it’s unlikely—the devolving situation in the U.S. has inspired people like Willgohs to try. 

Asylum is for people who feel their lives are in danger from government persecution. China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Russia are countries where a person can end up in a concentration camp, be tortured and killed by their government. This person can go anywhere in America and nothing will happen to him. In fact, our government celebrates him.

But I think he should go to Iceland and live that fulfilled life he can’t here. Goodbye and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Episode 657 – That is Not Racist

Pete Buttigieg continues to do a phenomenal job as Transportation Secretary.

President Obrador of Mexico takes a jab at Joe Biden and he is too senile to get it.

And everything is racist.

 

News

Here is some of the news coming out today:

  • The FAA has ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. ET “to allow the agency to validate the integrity of flight and safety information,” the agency’s latest update said.
    • The Notice to Air Missions system crashed. That system looks for any conflicts that could occur over the thousands of flights that take and land during the day.
    • Biden said: “I just spoke to Buttigieg. They don’t know what the cause is. But I was on the phone with him about 10 minutes. I told him to report directly to me when they find out. Air traffic can still land safely, just not take off right now. We don’t know what the cause of it is.”
    • Pete Buttigieg has done a phenomenal job:
      • We have a supply chain crisis.
      • The Southwest crisis during Christmas.
      • And he took three months off for paternity leave.
      • But he is gay.
  •  The Biden administration has decided to extend the COVID-19 state of emergency.
    • HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra announced the decision Wednesday via a declaration titled, “Renewal of Determination that a Public Health Emergency Exists.”
    • The statement said: “As a result of the continued consequences of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)  pandemic, on this date and after consultation with public health officials as necessary, I, Xavier Becerra, Secretary of Health and Human Services, pursuant to the authority vested in me under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, do hereby renew, effective January 11, 2023, the January 31, 2020, determination by former Secretary Alex M. Azar II, that he previously renewed on April 21, 2020, July 23, 2020, October 2, 2020, and January 7, 2021, and that I renewed on April 15, 2021, July 19, 2021, October 15, 2021, January 14, 2022, April 12, 2022, July 15, 2022, and October 13, 2022, that a public health emergency exists and has existed since January 27, 2020, nationwide.”
    • This is never going to end because they never want this to end.

Finally:

A couple of things about this.

  • Obrador was pissed at Biden for him not giving Mexico more money. Biden has shored up some of the wall at its weak points.
  • It does show that the border is seen as open by the Mexicans.
  • It shows that Mexico supports an open border and will not help us. Mexico loves those remittances.

Everything is Racist

Damar Hamlin had a cardiac arrest during a NFL football game last week. Luckily, he’s better now. He’s been released from the hospital. They still need to figure out what happened, he will have to go through some therapy and he may never play football again. This is all too bad because this is a fairy tale story of a man who really should have never gotten a chance to play but worked his ass off and made everything of his shot.

He also is very heavy into the community. He has a charity that gives under privileged kids toys during Christmas and other holidays. He has a great relationship with his family. He sounds like a great guy.

One thing I hate is when a tragedy happens and it is instantly politicized. Ten minutes after his event happened, anti-vaxxers were screaming about the COVID jab did this. Now, it’s a good question. We should know why this happened. I don’t agree with it. I think the chest compression thing might be the cause and I said that in my podcast earlier, but it’s something to look at. But people were bringing this stuff up before Hamlin was off the field.

I hated that. We can have the discussion later. Don’t politicize an incident until the incident in complete and we know what happened. For Christ’s sake, we don’t even know if this guy was vaccinated.

The Left has no issue politicizing something. Even our scientists. See, the reason Hamlin had a coronary event is because of racism. According to Fox News:

A recent Scientific American opinion was blasted on Twitter for using the cardiac arrest of NFL player Damar Hamlin to suggest that “football’s violence disproportionately affects Black men.”

Duke University anthropology professor Tracie Canada wrote a piece Friday headlined “Damar Hamlin’s Collapse Highlights the Violence Black Men Experience in Football,” during which she claimed, “The anti-Blackness of the system is inescapable.”

She wrote, “As a cultural anthropologist, I’ve spent the last decade learning how Black college football players navigate the exploitation, racism, and anti-Blackness that are fundamental to its current system.” 

Some things:

  • 70% of NFL players are black. 12% of the population is black. Should we get rid of black players in the NFL and replace them with white players?
  • No one is forcing black players to play football.
  • No one is forcing black people to not quit football. Ask Barry Sanders.
  • No one is bitching that “NHL hockey violence is disproportionately affecting white people”. People have died in hockey. I have seen a man’s throat slit by a skate in hockey.
  • Finally, if Damar Hamlin’s football career ends, he won’t be in poverty.
    • His salary is in the millions.
    • He gets his entire contract.
    • He gets a base pension of $43K a year and a 401K.
    • If he has a good agent, he’s insured. He will get a lump sum of money if he has to quit.
    • This guy is going to be worth more off the field than on it.

But everything is racist.

Speaking of Everything Being Racist

Some things:

  • This is just a word salad made up of woke key words. She actually does not explain, at all, why wanting to be skinny is racist.
  • She is right about capitalism though. It has made people fat because of the innovation to make more food at a cheaper price.
  • I have some questions:
    • Does this mean all black people are fat?
    • Does that mean when I see a black person I think of a fat person?
    • Does that mean when I see a fat white person, I’m thinking of black people?
    • Does this mean that a black person who wants to lose weight supports white supremacy?
    • Or is this broad just full of crap.
  • By the way, this gal is overweight and white.

 

Overdone But Justified

There was a robbery at a taco shop in Houston this last weekend. At about 11 PM, people were in the restaurant, eating tacos, when a guy walked into the shop with a gun. All this as caught on video but the full, uncut video is kind of hard to find and it is extremely violent. So I’ll describe it.

  • A man dressed in black with a black mask walks into the restaurant.
  • He brings out a gun and goes from table to table, demanding money.
  • He goes from table to table. You see a man reaching into his waistband. It’s obvious he has a weapon.
  • The man walks by the man at the table and that man pulls his gun and starts shooting.
  • The criminal falls to the ground and the customer gets up, still shooting.
  • He walks up to the criminal, grabbing his gun from the ground and appears to shoot him one more time though it is hard to say. A total of 9 shots could be heard fired.
  • The customer takes the stolen money from the criminal and gives it back to the customers.
  • He discovers that the gun is a toy and throws it against the wall.
  • Everyone leaves the restaurant.

The Houston police stated that they wanted to talk to the customer (hero). He turned himself in and now a grand jury has been convened to see if he is going to be charged. He has not been identified, arrested or charged.

The owner has called the customer a hero. The customer’s lawyer said in a statement: “In fear of his life and his friend’s life my client acted to protect everyone in the restaurant. In Texas, a shooting is justified in self-defense, defense of others and in defense of property. The customer has met with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and Investigators with HPD homicide. He fully intends to continue cooperating with the ongoing investigation.”

Now, the question is, was this guy a little aggressive? Yeah, maybe. But he saw a guy walking around pointing a gun at everyone. He didn’t know it was a toy. That gun could have been real and he could have shot everyone. Also, this guy is not a trained police officer. The adrenaline is pumping. He’s scared. He’s there to have a taco and, suddenly, there’s a dumbass motherf-er pointing a gun in his face taking his money. I’m going to give the guy a break when it comes to be over anxious.

What about the guy is dead. This is a play-stupid-games-win-stupid-prizes scenario. You walk into a restaurant in Texas with a fake gun and intend to rob it. Every other person carries a gun in Texas. I’m glad this guy is dead for two reasons. First, he will never victimize anyone again. I’m sure he had a lengthy record. Second, he’s to dumb to live and possibly breed.

Finally, this is what Leftist policy will lead us. People are going to protect themselves in any way they can. People do not trust the system will keep them safe. We are going to see a lot more of this. By the way, Texas is red, Houston is blue.

Episode 656 – Dust to Dirt

We talked a lot about the climate crisis and why it is nothing more than an excuse to pursue Malthusianism. It was a real bummer of a podcast and it was long.

What we didn’t do was talk about all the stupid things being done because of this alleged “climate crisis”.

Let’s go over these things.

 

News

Here’s some news:

  • John Bolton has announced he is running for President.
    • Who cares.
  • Mexico looks like it is bordering on a civil war.
    • On Saturday, Ovidio GuzmĂĄn LĂłpez, the son of El Chapo (JoaquĂ­n GuzmĂĄn Loera), was arrested.
    • Lopez runs the Sinola Cartel in Mexico, taking over for El Chapo in 2016.
    • This is the second time Lopez was arrested but he was released because Mexican President  AndrĂ©s Manuel LĂłpez Obrador did not want to piss off the cartels.
    • People saw this as coordination between the government and the cartels.
    • The Cartel terrorists fought back.
    • 3500 soldiers were involved.
    • 19 cartel members were killed and 10 soldiers were killed.
    • The cartel threatened to burn down businesses if Lopez was not released.
    • The cartels and Mexican police have been fighting since the arrest in the streets.
    • Some questions:
      • Is Biden going to discuss in his meeting with Obrador this week?
      • What is Biden going to do when the fighting crosses the border?
    • Maybe some of that money we are giving Ukraine should go to Mexico to deal with this terrorist organization.
  • Brazil is falling apart.
    • The protests continue over the elections.
    • On Sunday, a group attacked the capitol building.
    • President Luiz InĂĄcio Lula da Silva promised to punish the people who invaded the congress.
    • Former President, Jair Bolsonaro, is in Florida, gave up the election and transferred power peacefully, and condemns the violent protests.
    • The media is comparing this to January 6th. Of course they are.
    • Brazil has a history of this. Let’s not forget the government of Brazil was run by the military 25 years ago.
  • Joe Biden finally visits the border, but it was a sanitized border.
    • He stopped in El Paso but all the illegal aliens that were on the floor of the airport and living in tents on the streets were removed.
    • He visited a Salvation Army shelter and then started giving orders to one of the staff, thinking she was a Secret Service officer.
  • Joe Biden is also in trouble by having classified documents at his former think tank in Pennsylvania.
    • It was discovered by one of his lawyers and reported on November 2 of 2022.
    • Merrick Garland appointed a special council to investigate.
    • Notice that we find out about this after the election!
    • The reality is that this happens all the time with Presidents.

New York

According to Fox News:

New York has become the sixth state in the United States to legalize natural organic reduction, popularly known as human composting, as a method of burial.

Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the legislation on Saturday. Washington was the first state to legalize human composting in 2019, followed by Colorado and Oregon in 2021 and Vermont and California in 2022.

“I am committed to having my body composted and my family knows that,” Howard Fischer, a 63-year-old investor living north of New York City, told The Associated Press. “Whatever my family chooses to do with the compost after it’s done is up to them.”

The alternative, green method of burial aligns with Fischer’s philosophical view on life: to live in an environmentally conscious way.

Notice anything similar with the other states that have legalized composting? All Leftist states.

What annoys me about this story is not the actual process. I don’t actually see any problems if someone wants to get composted. But, looking at the process, I would have a problem getting composted. You are put in a box with several organic materials that will speed the decomposition process. You sit in a room for thirty days in an environment that speeds up decay. When your body rots, it is run through a machine, turning you into compost. Your ass is then thrown on the tree of your family’s choice.

Notice that only six states are doing this? That’s because i see this process is as bad as anything else that is suppose to helpt he environment. It puts a tree as more important than a human being and I think that’s wrong. But states like California and New York don’t care about human life. We see that with all their policies from abortion to drug legalization to homelessness.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-becomes-6th-us-state-green-light-human-composting-law

 

California

Speaking of California going to crap, a new law goes into affect this month.

According to Yahoo! News:

Large trucks and buses made before 2010 will be prohibited from operating on California roadways starting Jan. 1. It’s the final rule in a set of clean air regulations the California Air Resources Board passed nearly 15 years ago. The rule applies to diesel vehicles that weigh at least 14,000 pounds. The air resources board said there are an estimated 200,000 vehicles that have yet to comply with the rule just days before the new year, including roughly 70,000 big rig trucks, or about 10% of the commercial motor vehicles operating in the state, according to trucking lobbying groups. KCRA 3’s Ashley Zavala reports.

To his credit, this was not a Gavin Newsome thing. This law was signed in when Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor. It just goes into effect this year. Don’t forget, Gavin Newsom is trying to get rid of gas power cars by 2035. There will be a new governor then too.

What kind of disaster is this going to be? About 20% of the trucks will not be able to be on the road. Truckers that own their trucks will not be able to drive in California. Truckers with older trucks will not be able to enter California. All older buses will need to be replaced. This will cost tax payers billions.

For consumers, it will be worse. Expect the prices of everything will be going up. Suddenly, 20% of the supply chain has been axed. This is what we get with tons of regulations.

Reusable What?!

in a final story that shows how these environmentalists are not progressive but regressive, the New York Post reports:

How far would you go to save the environment?

While many try to reduce reliance on single-use plastics and attempt to recycle, one woman left people dumbfounded after revealing what she claimed is reusable toilet paper.

A team member from Net Zero Company — which reportedly makes “Earth friendly products for everyday life” — acknowledged that the item is controversial but insisted that it’s worth it.

“After the global toilet paper shortage of 2020, we came out with our reusable version,” she explained in a TikTok clip.

“And to the 56,000 comments in disapproval of it, it’s meant to wipe water off — you know, like drying off after a shower,” she added.

According to the woman in the clip, those who have made the bold move from toilet tissue to organic cotton “have loved” the change, noting that it’s “way softer” than supermarket toilet paper.

However, she did note that the reusable stuff is best paired with a bidet, with which one can seemingly rinse off the cloth. She then suggested collecting all the used “paper” and putting it in a bag to launder and then reuse.

Noting that “27,000 trees are cut down daily to make toilet paper,” the reusable TP enthusiast is a big fan — but not everyone agrees.

I don’t think I have to say so much about this but I did do something. I bought a pack of this crap. Wait for the video on Rumble.

You’re Kidding?

I guess I will not be getting heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai any time soon.

According the Cedars:

ABC News recently interviewed Martha Gulati, MD, director of Preventive Cardiology and associate director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai, about how climate change is contributing to an increase in heart disease. 

Climate change has worsened and wildfires, hurricanes, drought, heat waves, and cold spells have become more common, sometimes leading to famine and drought. “The world we live in right now is not a very hospitable environment for the heart,” Gulati told ABC News.

The medical community was unprepared for the effect of such high temperatures on the human body and had to “learn on the fly,” said Gulati, who is associate director of the Preventive and Rehabilitative Cardiac Center in the Smidt Heart Institute. “With heart disease prevention, we tend to focus on controlling blood pressure and lipids, but we should consider the other aspects of prevention, like our environment,” Gulati told ABC News.  

To protect one’s health from the negative effects of climate change and to maintain good heart health, avoid cigarettes, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep and exercise daily. To help protect the environment and reduce the impact of extreme weather on the global community, consider using public transportation, recycling, avoiding red meat and reducing plastic waste. 

Would you really trust a doctor who is this woke? No, your heart attack is not from eating four Big Macs a day, it’s from climate change.

How about if you just avoid cigarettes, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep and exercise daily? Might I avoid heart disease? Maybe recycling my toilet paper may not be necessary to keep a healthy heart.

You Don’t Need Stoves to Eat Dry Bugs

In another example of how this climate BS is going to make our lives miserable. According to the Daily Wire:

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering banning Americans from having gas stoves.

Roughly 40% of American homes have gas stoves, which emit nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide as well as fine particulate matter at what are deemed unsafe levels by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization. A study released in January 2022 argued that over 20 years, “annual methane emissions from all gas stoves in U.S. homes have a climate impact comparable to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 500 000 cars.”

So, 40% of the country is going to need to spend a $1000 to replace their stoves.

By the way, there’s a reason most people like gas stoves over electric stoves (which also burns fossil fuels). Gas stoves are superior to electric stove. They are easier to control, cook more evenly and heat quicker.

Episode 655 – Their Motivations Are Too Transparent

Today, we are going to talk about something very uncomfortable. We are going to talk about Malthusianism, eugenics and the “climate crisis”. It may seem weird that I’m talking about this but we 1,200are beginning to hear and see things that are pushed that could change our lives, the lives of our children and for generations after.

I also want you to think about things that are being pushed in our society. Abortion, trans-ing the kids, drug legalization, homelessness and euthanasia. Though we might be able to see the relation between climate change and these terrible policies, they are related, they are being pushed and, now, the elites are saying right out and have been for several decades.

Let’s take a look at this stuff.

 

The Philosophy

There are a couple of concepts we need o talk about.

Malthusianism

Malthusianism is a philosophy by an economist named Thomas Malthus in 1798. It is also known as the “Malthusian trap”, “the population trap, and the “Malthusian check”.

The main idea with Malthusianism is that the population of the world is increasing exponentially but our food supply is linear. As the population will grow, the population will run out of food and a substantial part of the population would end up starving to death. Malthus believed there was very little we could do because, even with the advent of technology that improved food production, the human population would grow faster. He did believe that if the population could not be controlled through abstinence (Malthus was a Christian and didn’t believe in artificial contraception), we would have no choice but to let certain population die off.

With the onset of the industrial revolution, food production increased substantially. Anti-Malthusians believe this was proof that Malthusianism was bunk and shouldn’t be taken seriously. But neo-Malthusians believed there were tons of evidence that the Malthusian trap was still alive and well. They said that poverty, pollution, hunger is poor countries and the increase of the population was still proof that the trap was still alive and well. Neo-Malthusians believed that the best way to deal with over-population was to use birth control.

Enter eugenics.

Eugenics

According to history.com:

Eugenics is the practice or advocacy of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific desirable hereditary traits. It aims to reduce human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and so-called undesirable characteristics from the human population. Early supporters of eugenics believed people inherited mental illness, criminal tendencies and even poverty, and that these conditions could be bred out of the gene pool.

The term was coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883.

It became popular in the United States in 1903. The United States made it illegal for people with epilepsy and those who were mentally slow to get married and have children.

According to history.com:

John Harvey Kellogg, of Kellogg’s cereal fame, organized the Race Betterment Foundation in 1911 and established a “pedigree registry.” The foundation hosted national conferences on eugenics in 1914, 1915 and 1928.

New World Order?

The climate crisis is suppose to be the biggest disaster in the history of the world. We must do something about it according to the Left. Every time there’s a weather event, it’s proof that the world is pissed and is going to kill us. Unfortunately for them, a lot of scientists do not think it is that big of a deal. But it’s OK because those scientists are either censored or just ignored.

California is going through a major series of storms. This is because of a phenomenon called “El Nino”. Warm water comes from Mexico because the currents change every four or five years heading to Northern Californian waters which are cold. When you mix warm water and cold water, evaporation occurs creating clouds with really high humidity. The clouds are pushed to the land and it starts raining on land.

The rain continues southward, typically along the coast and it rains until the system is back in Mexico. This crap happens every three or four years and I have seen it since I was a kid, which was in the 1970s.

Well, we are in the middle of a brutal El Nino in California. It has been raining pretty hard for the last two weeks and we are looking at another week of rain. San Francisco is completely flooded. Here San Francisco mayor, London Breed, blaming…what?…the climate crisis:

Some things:

  • As far as drought conditions, El Nino is too extreme every year. Also, California is a very temperate desert. We have lots of rain sometimes. We don’t don’t have any rain, most of the time. The weather in California is the most consistent in the country.
  • Meteorologists know if there is a glitch in the matrix when in comes to El Nino. They call it every year.
  •  By the way, the drought conditions have not been historic.
  • Wild fire are caused by bad forest management. While President, Donald Trump embarrassed Gavin Newsom by pointing this out.
  • Noticed Breed screwed up? She said, “global warming” and corrected herself by calling it a “climate crisis”. She did this because the rest of the country is at -10 F.
  • Finally, this is the climate crisis conclusion. Money. More money.
    • They can fix this with money. Give us money.
    • Let me get this straight:
      • The haven’t fixed the drug problem with more money.
      • They haven’t fixed the mental health crisis with more money.
      • They haven’t fixed the homelessness problem with more money.
      • But they are going to fix the weather? No. No more money.

Here’s Greta Thunberg. Here, she’s being interviewed by the BBC about how kids should deal with the climate crisis and what she thinks about it. It’s a long clip but it is so stupid, I don’t want to skip anything. Listen:

Some things:

  • She is a child. Any parent that listens to this dumb bitch about parenting paranoid children, the parents are part of the problem.
  • She’s actually not really a child. I could f- her and it would be completely legal.
  • This broad hasn’t been in school since she was eight years old. I hardly think she could educate herself on anything.
    • Did I mention she has Asperger’s Syndrome?
    • Did I mention she has OCD?
    • Why is anyone taking advice from someone who is impaired?

As “retarded” as Greta is, no one drops the ball like Bill Gates. This was from a Ted Talk from twelve years ago. He, accidently, lets the cat out of the bag when it comes to the climate. Listen:

I watched the entire Ted Talk and then I watched a lot of apologists. Let’s just say he meant what he said. Not just from this video but from the other videos he said the same thing.

He is a huge fan of the World Economic Forum fan. He likes the thought of the Great Reset and is a supporter of Malthusianism. Many say he’s not but he has said it way too many times to be ignored.

Finally, here is Jane Goodall, the chick that loves monies. She had something to say about human beings and the environment. By the way, she was talking at the World Economic Forum.

We now have 8 billion people on Earth. She wants to know down to about 500 million. Bet she won’t be one of the people that gets put into the mulch machine.

Him Again?

The CBS television show 60 Minutes decided to jump on the climate bandwagon in the most Malthusian way they possible could by bringing on a dinosaur that promises that we are all going to die within the next 15 minutes if we do not kill capitalism, live by eating bugs and get rid of everything that makes life convenient.

His name is Paul Ehrlich and he wrote a book in 1968 called The Population Bomb which says that people are causing the destruction of the Earth and we are all going to die. Before we get into his book, let’s take a look at a couple of things he said on 60 Minutes then talk a little about his history and how wrong he is and has been.

He’s been saying this BS for the last 50 years. Of course, none of this is true. In fact, we have more food now, due to technology than we have ever had. The Federalist also pointed out that the average life expectancy when Ehrlich was born was 61. Life expectancy is now 78 and he is 90.

“Changing the systems” is his goal.

Here he is lamenting the fact the most countries aren’t listening to his doom talk:

Most countries don’t buy his crap because his crap is crazy. People do not want to go back to living in the dark. People like the innovation that has raised the wealth of most people more than any other civilization in recorded time.

Also, most scientists think he is a freak. They don’t hold the same opinions as he does.

Then, the narrator goes off on how we are consuming three times the resources. What he doesn’t mention is we are producing ten times the resources due to technology.

Throughout this fifteen minute story, not once did CBS have a countering point. It was all just doom and gloom.

Let’s go over some of his claims he made in the 1970s (from the Federalist):

“The battle to feed all of humanity is over,” the opening line of “The Population Bomb” reads. “In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now,” Ehrlich wrote. It was likely, he went on, that the oceans would be without life by 1979 and the United States would see its population plummet to 23 million by 1999 due to pesticides. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years,” he famously told Mademoiselle in 1970.

He was wrong about everything. None of his theories came to light and are still nowhere to be seen on the horizon fifty years later. But people like Al Gore, AOC and Greta Thunberg keep spouting this same philosophy. But they do something different because Ehrlich made one huge mistake: he wasn’t vague about when this stuff would happen. He gave dates. No environmentalist give dates anymore. Something will happen in the next 10 to 20 years and, when it doesn’t happen, people will not remember. Al Gore has been doing this since 2000.

Why Is This Important?

Is it the goal of Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, Joe Biden, Barrack Obama, the WEF, the WHO or the UN to end global warming? The answer is a resounding, “no”.

Climate change is just an excuse to create a new world order. Klaus Schwab said in his books. It is a way for the elites to change the way we live, what we own, change our behavior and control the world economy and the social order. If it was about climate change, why won’t any of these people go after China or India? Both countries produce way more carbon than the United States. The reason is because the United States, through the Constitution, acknowledges and protects God-given human rights. Freedom of speech, of religion. Freedom to bear arms. A population that believes in all that cannot be controlled.

The reason Klaus Schwab celebrated COVID is because the lockdowns showed we could be controlled in this country. That’s what made the lockdowns so dangerous. They trained us. Many, like me, think they will do the same thing in the name of climate change. In many ways, it’s already happening. High gas prices, supply chain failures, airline shortages, energy shortages and food shortages are the “new normal”.

There is also the “need” to shrink the population. Abortion. trans-ing kids. The push for homosexuality. Drug legalization. Euthanasia. All this is to shrink the population. This accomplishes two thing: a smaller population is easier to control and monitor, and it breaks down a civilization.

Episode 654 – Aren’t They Suppose to Kill or Something?

The Republicans continue to be a mess to the joy of the Democrats.

A report finds that blue cities are really dangerous, but how dangerous.

And what is wrong with our military leadership?

 

Not a Surprise

According to the Post Millennial:

A new study has found that military-aged males living in Chicago and Philadelphia are more likely to be shot dead than those deployed to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In a study published by the JAMA Network, researchers at Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania found that young, military-aged males from “zip codes with the most violence in Chicago and Philadelphia had a notably higher risk of firearm-related death than US military personnel who served during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.”

This is not the first time I have heard of this but they finally released a study about it.

The article continues:

While Chicago and Philadelphia were discovered to be areas where young males are more likely to be shot dead, researchers found during the study of 129,826 young adult men living in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City, and Los Angeles in 2020 and 2021 that “The most violent areas in New York City and Los Angeles were associated with less risk for young adult males than these theaters of war.”

The study noted that in all zip codes looked at, the “risks were overwhelmingly borne by young adult males from minoritized racial and ethnic groups.”

Mind you, this is just violent crime. What they do not talk about is suicide and drug overdoses. We are living in a society of violence, death and despair. This just proves it.

https://thepostmillennial.com/young-adult-males-in-major-us-cities-at-higher-risk-of-death-from-gun-violence-than-wartime-counterparts?utm_campaign=64483

 

That’s What Our Military

You’re Kidding

According to the New York Post:

The US Marines may ban recruits from respectfully addressing senior members as “sir” or “ma’am” to avoid “misgendering” and offending them.

The woke recommendation was made in a new $2 million report commissioned by the Corps from the University of Pittsburgh.

There are a few things about this that bother me. The reason “sir” and “ma’am” are used is because the soldiers need to learn to respect their superiors because they will need to listen to them. When one gets deep in the service or is special forces, this is not as common and, in certain cases, is discouraged.

Next, could these guys have spent $2 million on something more important than an equity study? You know, like a bunch of weapons meant to kill people which is what the Marines are made to do? I know the military likes to waste money like adding $2000 ash trays to their fighter jets, but $2 million for a study that, let’s face it, we knew what they were going to say.

Finally, what added value does this bring to the military, especially the Marines? Have you even met a Marine. They are trained to kill and blow things up. They aren’t much for any of this diversity crap. In fact, I would bet the Marines deny this garbage (they’ve denied a lot of this woke crap so far).

It gets better.

 

I Think They’re Missing the Point

According to The Hill:

West Point over its holiday break will remove a portrait of Robert E. Lee in Confederate uniform as well as a bust of the general from prominent spots on campus, carrying out directives that were included in a defense authorization bill for 2021.

Lt. Gen. Steven W. Gilland announced these steps and more in a letter to the West Point community posted on the military academy’s web site.

“During the holiday break, we will begin a multi-phased process, in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) directives, to remove, rename or modify assets and real property at the United States Military Academy (USMA) and West Point installation that commemorate or memorialize the Confederacy or those who voluntarily served with the Confederacy,” Gilland wrote.

The changes come after demands to remove Confederate statues, busts and portraits gained steam following George Floyd’s killing by police in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020.

A few things about Robert E. Lee:

  • He was a great general whose tactics are still studied today.
  • He did own a small number of slaves.
  • He was seem as paternalistic with his slaves and not the slave masters we have come to know. Allegations that he beat his slaves are unfounded.
  • He had no real opinion about slavery or succession. He did think that slavery was evil and would, eventually, be abolished.
  • He fought for the South because he was from Virginia and wanted to defend his homeland.
  • Though he was forgiven for fighting for the South, he lost his U.S. citizenship and never got it back.

The story of Robert E. Lee is important because it is the forgiveness of Abraham Lincoln. He did not hang these people for treason. He wanted them to rejoin the union and become proud Americans.

But we already know that the Left does not forgive.

 

These People Are Suppose to Kill

According to the Wall Street Journal:

The Department of Veterans Affairs has a gender gingerbread person. NASA says beware of micro-inequities. And if U.S. Army servicewomen express “discomfort showering with a female who has male genitalia,” what’s the brass’s reply? Talk to your commanding officer, but toughen up.

These are details from hundreds of pages of diversity and inclusion training materials used by the federal government in 2021 and obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Everyone in corporate life knows such training, lampooned in the second episode of the TV show “The Office.” Yet taxpayers might be curious how their money is being spent to instruct the federal workforce these days.

One trans people being in the wrong restrooms or showers:

Also, stiff upper lip: “Anyone may encounter individuals in barracks, bathrooms, or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex.” Transgender soldiers aren’t “required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not ‘match’ other Soldiers.”

In other words, don’t want to see a man in the women’s restrooms. Tough! Deal with it, bigot!

Notice everyone has to conform to the trans person but the trans person can do whatever he wants.

Finally, if you’re a trans person, you shouldn’t be in the military at all. There is, obviously, something wrong with you and you shouldn’t be carrying a gun.

On managing Gender Diversity:

The VA’s “Managing Gender Diversity” training has sections on pronouns and embracing “gender-expansiveness.” One slide lists terms, including “gender fluid” and “pansexual,” while instructing: “List your personal ‘biases’ in the BIAS box.” A game of “PRIVILEGE BINGO” includes such items as “NO CRIMINAL RECORD,” “MILITARY EXPERIENCE,” and “MARRIED.”

They include a slide with the Genderbread Man discussing how gender fluidity works.

On racism, NASA added this:

A NASA training on “Allyship for Executives” says that the term “African American” is “utilized heavily in white spaces,” and it “can make Black people feel excluded as the term tends to ‘other.’” Another NASA slide series explains that inclusive leaders “are willing to be ‘uncomfortable’” in exploring “race, gender, sexual orientation” and so forth. “We have been taught to act as if we are colorblind and gender-neutral,” it adds, but “these efforts actually limit us.”

They also included a chart that stated that if you see yourself as colorblind, you are part of the problem of racism and are not inclusive. Typical CRT, Ibram X. Kendi crap.

This is where one can tell people don’t get the military. You are trained to ignore race when in the military. No matter who it is or how you feel about the person, he is your brother. Remember Full Metal Jacket. The military doesn’t care about race.

But NASA went further and included a cheat sheet so all those racists wouldn’t be racist:

A NASA tip sheet on microaggressions gives examples that include, “Asking an Asian person to help with a Math or Science problem,” as well as saying, “America is a melting pot.” A slide deck on inclusive language suggests nixing “the poor” and substituting “people dealing with economic hardship.” A talk to a NASA center by Janice Underwood, then the state of Virginia’s chief diversity officer, urges: “Walk toward the discomfort—when patterns of white supremacy are named or questioned, predictable defensive responses will emerge.” Ms. Underwood now leads the diversity bureau at the federal Office of Personnel Management.

Question, who actually says these things? And, if they do, they’re going to be too stupid to use a cheat sheet.

The Department of Homeland Security said:

A Department of Homeland Security presentation on “Inclusive Diversity” says that micro-inequities can be fought by micro-affirmations. “Social and Physical Pain Produce Similar Brain Responses,” it argues, using a cartoon rendition of two brain scans.

I’ve seen this slide before and that’s not exactly what it means. Emotional pain that the slide talks about is mostly about a break up or the death of a loved one. Not because they weren’t invited to dinner.

Finally, the National Science Foundation, which deals with Space Force and NASA, did this:

A National Science Foundation seminar presents data about the race and gender of the NSF’s workforce, before sending participants to breakout rooms to discuss. A National Endowment for the Arts program offers definitions for terms such as “White Fragility,” “Heterosexism,” and “Misogynoir.”

Then they come up with a chart, basically changing language.

Question: Does any of this sound like it will improve the military? I don’t want my military being sensitive and inclusive. I want my military to be insensitive, boorish killers that want nothing more than to blow things up.

I hope there’s no war in the near future.

    • Meanwhile, about a hundred people died in the worst snow storm in history and an airline crisis.
  • They finally found the man who killed those four college students in Idaho.
    • He was caught at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania.
    • There is no motive.
    • DNA and his car led to his identity.

What a Non-Story

There was a rumor that popped out on social media yesterday that announce that former Vice President Mike Pence had just turned in his application to run for President in 2024. There was quite a reaction on Twitter. By that, I mean there was no reaction on Twitter.  Not one person thought this was going to go anywhere whether he runs or not. He has no chance to win, he’s boring as hell, and he’s way too straight-laced. He would have no chance if he went up against Trump or Ron DeSantis. In fact, I think he would have trouble with Glenn Youngkin or Nikki Haley, both are thinking of running.

But this might not make a difference anyway.

The manager for Mike Pence said that he did not file to run for VP. In fact, it looks like the whole thing was nothing but a joke. Apparently there was a filing, but it is common for false filings. This was one of them. The name used for the filing was “Mike Pence”, not “Michael Pence,” which is his legal name.

Anyway, if Mike is looking at the reactions of the public on social media, he might want to reconsider running for President.

Of Course There Would Be Problems

Christmas, though not one of the biggest Christian holidays, is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. You would think of all people at Christian churches around the country would celebrate Christmas. Surprisingly, this is not the case.

According to Fox News:

An increased number of churches are canceling Christmas day services in anticipation of low attendance, given the holiday falls on a Sunday this year. 

With the pandemic impacting the way people worship, Only 84 percent of pastors plan on holding services this year, down from 89 percent in 2016, which was the last time Christmas Day fell on a Sunday, according to surveys conducted by Lifeway Research. Only 60 percent of pastors plan to have church services on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 

Reallife Church in Macon, Georgia, tweeted that it would be hosting a Christmas Eve service but not one on Christmas morning. 

Most of these Christian churches that are doing this are non-denominational or Unitarian in nature. That means they have a very loose interpretation of what Catholics and Protestants have. A lot of these religions do not see the purpose of celebrating Christmas or any other holiday, so none of this should be a surprise. Some of them don’t even allow for the celebrations of birthdays. But most said they did hold services on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. They just decided to cancel them.

I blame this for on three things.

The first is the pandemic and the forced shut down of churches. This had a huge affect on former church-goers. And not many of the churches fought it, including the Catholic churches. If I’m a church-goer and the church doesn’t think their services are important enough to fight for, why should the congregants?

The second issue is the secularization of of religion. Believe it or not, Christianity is becoming woke and less religious. Even Catholicism is beginning to embrace the LGBTQ crap. Every once in a while, the pope will go out there and say that it is all wrong. But he does it rarely and half-heartedly.  He is even rather quiet on things like abortion because it is not a “woke” talking point.

Finally, last but not least, the destruction of the family has destroyed religion. Children learn from parents. But parents have given up on being parents and giving their children faith. This hasn’t started now. I have to say I am somewhat guilty of this. We had a great family but I never embraced the value of religion until way later in life. Unfortunately, I think I did not help my children embrace religion like I was forced to. Now that I am older and have a bit of experience under my belt, I see the importance of my religion.

In Others Words, A Woman Had a Baby

According to the Mirror:

Proud dad Reuben Sharpe today tells how HE gave birth to a miracle baby in Britain’s most modern family.

The 39-year-old transitioned to a man 12 years ago.

But he still had maternal instincts and six years ago stopped taking testosterone in the hope of one day having a child.

And that dream came true when he and partner Jay had a bouncing baby.

Jay is non-binary – so does not identify as male or female.

The sperm donor was a trans woman… and even the DOCTOR was transgender.

And while a handful of other UK men have fallen pregnant after transitioning from a woman, Reuben and Jay are among the first couples to speak out about their remarkable journey.

The title of the story on Twitter was: Transgender man gives birth to non-binary partner’s baby with female sperm donor.

Now is this a story? Of course not but it is because these people are trans. Here’s the real story.

Two lesbians wanted a baby. The paid a man to give his sperm. one of the lesbians got pregnant and had a baby. Period. That’s it. why is this being made into a story? Because it will be “proof” for the trans people that men can get pregnant and women can get a man pregnant. Of course, this proves nothing of the sort. It actually proves that women are always going to be women and men are always going to be men.
