Episode 483 – The Numbers Are Just Going to Keep Dropping

So many dumb stories over a single week. Turns out Friday is going to be my favorite day because we get to talk about all these stupid stories

And we do have some doozies!

 

Some News

Here’s some news I’m going to hit on because it’s happening but not as socially important as these stupid stories I’m going to talk about. Actually, these are not stupid stories. They’re kind of important.

  • The national debt has surpassed $30 trillion.
    • When George Bush left office, was at $9 trillion.
    • After Obama, it was $18 trillion.
    • After Trump, who was a big spender and had to deal with the pandemic, it was boosted to $23 trillion.
    • Biden has spent $7 trillion this year!
    • We are now entering danger territory. In September of 2019, before the pandemic, we had a debt to GDP of 4.7%. Believe it of not, that’s high. It is now at 12.4%.
    • We are not there yet, but we are entering the realm of Greece, Italy and Spain. All these countries have had to deal with austerity.
  • The jobs report was released today and it was a good one.
    • 467,000 jobs were added. That’s double than what was expected.
    • Unemployment went up to 4% but that’s good because more people are rejoining the workforce.
    • 709,000 were added for November and December.
    • This was a great report.
    • The problem for people is the child tax credit expired and extended benefits ended. People are now running out of money and have to work.
  • In other good news for Joe Biden, the head of ISIS-K was killed during a raid by U.S. special forces.
    • Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was killed when he detonated a suicide vest.
    • Members of his family, including children, were also killed.
    • No soldiers were injured.
    • There seems to be some confusion as to what happened but if this guy was killed, it was worth it even if innocent family members were killed.
  • So Biden has had a good week.

OK, that’s enough of the bad news. Let’s get to the other bad news that’s funny.

Let’s Start With Queen Idget

Let’s start with our stupid statement of the week. Who else is the winner but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Here she is on MSNBC talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. She see two problems with what’s going on over there. Here’s the first one:

Some things:

  • Notice she always strings together big words like “military industrial complex” to make herself sound intelligent? None of what she said applied to this situation but she sounds like she wants to string together a bunch of multi-syllabic words suddenly she’ll make sense. This is a strategy with the Left. They think big words will confuse us serfs and we’ll just go with them.
  • She’s blaming America, specifically American greed, for the conflict over there. It’s complete crap.
  • Does she really think, for a second, that a military contractor is going to lose the good graces of the American military for a corrupt Ukraine?
  • She’s talking out of her ass.

But, she can’t get away from the stupid. Here the real reason why Russia is threatening Ukraine:

Some things:

  • Yep, climate change.
  • Fossil fuels have become a problem because of the Biden administration.
    • We were energy independent.
    • We were a massive exporter of oil.
    • Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline.
    • Ended all of the oil contracts on federal lands.
    • And gave Russia the Nordstream pipeline into Germany.
  • So, no, I don’t think evaluation is correct.

 

I Told You So

According to that Daily Wire:

“Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage is not pleased that Disney is attempting a remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” However, other members of the dwarf community have been thrilled to see the potential for lucrative acting jobs available to their community specifically. And a few of them are denouncing Dinklage’s rant, saying it’s harming their job prospects.

I told you this would happen.

Dwarf actor, Dylan Postl, stated:

“It makes me so sick to my stomach to think that there are seven roles for dwarfs that can’t get normal acting roles, or very few and far between roles, and now they are gone because of this guy.”

“Peter Dinklage is the biggest dwarf actor probably of all time but it doesn’t make him king dwarf. When he was cast as a little person role in ‘Lord of the Rings’ or in a ‘Game of Thrones’ or in ‘Elf’ or this that or the other thing… those checks cashed just fine. He had no issue then. But now he wants to be progressive? Come on man.”

I also want to point out that Peter Dinklage is starring in the upcoming movie, Cyrano. By the way, he was cast because he was a dwarf. He made more than $1 million an episode from Game of Thrones. He was cast for that series because he’s a dwarf.

Postl continued:

“I don’t know if Peter Dinklage is still acting or if he is done now but I don’t know… it’s pretty selfish. People came before him. If it is his mindset that he wants to be the only one then you gotta grow up man.

“It’s not helping our community it’s taking jobs away from our community that are very few and far between as it is. We are in a society and a time of woke and progression and I get that, to an extent, but this is a fairytale.”

He’s absolutely right but left out one thing. Wokeness is about power. Peter Dinklage wants to be the dwarf actor. That’s what his rant was all about.

Whoopie Was Right!

Remember Wednesday, we talked about how Whoopie was suspended for two weeks from The View because she said the Holocaust had nothing to do with racism because Jews were white? Even though Hitler himself wrote that the Jews were and inferior race?

She made an apology to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the ADL accepted her apology. Here’s the problem, according to the ADL’s definition of racism, at the time, Whoopie would have been right and could have pointed to the ADL’s website.

A little history about this:

Before 2020, the definition on the ADL’s website of racism was:

“Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.”

Makes sense. That’s racism.

Then George Floyd died and BLM riots happened. The ADL, which used to be a moderate organization, changed the definition of racism:

“The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.”

See the problem is with this definition?

  • Only white people can be racist.
  • Only people of color can be victims of racism.
  • Whoopie Goldberg was right about the Holocaust based on this decision.

The ADL figured this out and made a change to that definition this week. They marked it with an interim tag because I guess the definition of a word is ever changing. Or they want to leave the lane clear to changing the definition when it conflicts with what another Leftist says. Here it is:

“Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.”

There are still problems with this definition so I’m sure it will change again.

It still allows the Left to call white people racists because they believe white people are running the institutions within the United States. That’s not true, of course, but the Left thinks it is.

The important thing to take away from this is the Left is constantly changing the meaning of words. For them words, people and societies are malleable. Men can be women. Phobias has changed to mean hate. History can change. Books can be rewritten or just banished.

That’s why I never call a man dressed like a woman by his preferred pronouns. This is dangerous stuff.

And We Get This.

According to the Daily Mail:

A woman who identifies as a wolf says that people often have ‘misconceptions’ about her her ‘spiritual and psychological’ life as a animal. 

Naia Ōkami, 27, from Seattle, identifies as a British Columbian wolf and regards herself as an otherkin therian – a subculture who believe their soul is that of an animal, rather than a human. 

In 2017, Naia came out as a transgender woman on social media and in November 2019, she revealed to her followers that she had legally changed her gender to female. 

Here he is talking about it:

I have no “misconceptions” about this man. He is delusional. He’s mentally ill.

This is where the subjectifying language leads. We normalize insanity.

Oh, Yeah, And This Too

According to Fox News:

Los Angeles County judge on Thursday ordered Hannah Tubbs, a transgender California woman, to serve two years in a juvenile facility after she pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in 2014. 

Before doing so, the judge criticized far-left District Attorney George Gascon, whose office declined to prosecute the repeat offender as an adult.

Tubbs, 26, recently pleaded guilty to molesting the girl in a women’s bathroom eight years ago when Tubbs was two weeks away from turning 18. At the time of the crime, she identified as male and went by James Tubbs. She did not identify as female until after she was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.

That’s right! This 26-year-old man molested a 10-year-old girl and is being sent to a girls’ juvenile center because of that piece of crap woke prosecutor in Los Angeles, George Gascon. What could happen?

Here’s my thing: the judge can say “no” and send this guy to an adult men’s prison? Yeah, it will probably be overturned on appeal but, at least, the girls in the juvenile center will be protected until the appeal goes through. This will give the guys in the adult male prison a chance to apply some real justice (the guy only got 6 years).

This has nothing to do with common sense. This is about perverting the system. This is done on purpose. I will update you about this in about a month because it’s only a matter of time before this guy rapes someone.

Anything Can Be A Sport

According to the New York Post:

The Pillow Fighting Championship crowned its first ever champions Saturday night in Florida as the children’s pastime was turned into a professional combat sport.

The pay-per-view event saw 16 men and eight women, most used to mixed martial arts and boxing but this time with a specialized pillow, advance through a bracket style competition until a champion emerged.

On the women’s side it was Brazilian Istela Nunes defeating American Kendahl Voelker and the men’s final saw American Hauley Tillman defeat countryman Marcus Brimage. Each winner earned a title belt and $5,000.

That was the entire article.

I saw the video of the “fight” and it is exactly like you imagine it would be.

Let me tell you something: God bless capitalism and the United States. It’s this kind of imagination and innovation that makes this country great. I hope the guy who did this made a ton of money.

Why Not?

According to the New York Post:

In a first for the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York, a same-sex penguin couple hatched a baby chick, local news station 13 WHAM reported, and will now raise the chick as a pair.

The two adult male Humboldt Penguins — Elmer and Lima — became first-time dads on Jan. 1.

The zoo said Elmer and Lima formed a bond for the current breeding season and have built a home base in a nest “and defended their territory.”

I mean, why not?

More to the story:

  • The gay thing is a stretch. The birds could just be friends. It’s not clear they were ever having sex so it’s not clear how the zoo figured out they were gay.
  • The zoo was happy about this because the numbers of penguins in the zoo means they can have other penguins foster raise an egg and a chick. So that makes sense.
  • They tried to have these two birds raise a couple of eggs before and ended up breaking them. I don’t think much about this. In the Disney movie, March of the Penguins, penguins break their eggs all the time.
  • The male penguins also help to hatch the chicks.

What I hate about this story is what the zoo wants it to mean. Ted Fox, the zoo director, said:

“Elmer and Lima’s success at fostering is one more story that our zoo can share to help people of all ages and backgrounds relate to animals.”

What the zoo is trying to do a naturalize homosexuality. The LGBTQI+ community has been trying to do this for decades. The normalized it, they naturalized it.

I’ve said this before. Nature is absolute, unchanging. Normal is subjective and changes all the time based on opinion. It is impossible, in nature, for men to become women. But our society has normalized it.

That’s what the zoo is doing here.
