Episode 503 – All for Nothing

The Biden administration is trying to plant the seed of a new narrative concerning the gas prices.

The media flips out about what they call the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Let’s take a look at that bill and see if they have something to flip out about.

 

Stupid Statement of the Day

Leave it to Joe Biden to say something stupid and racist. Here it is:

Some things:

  • This is racist. He not only talks about the blacks in a derogatory way but also calls a Muslim American a terrorist.
  • Here’s a news flash: Biden is a racist. He always has been and has said many, many things to prove that.
  • By the way, what would happen if Trump said this? I think we know.

 

Oh, That’s the Problem

Gas jumps again, another $0.20 so the Biden administration has to come up with a new line.

Joe Biden has never taken responsibility for anything…ever. He celebrates anything that is good while ignoring all that is bad. Even if the good has nothing to do with his policies. Take the unemployment rate. Yeah, it’s good that people are getting jobs and it’s good that pay has gone higher. He’ll celebrate all that. But he will ignore that we have still not reached pre-pandemic employment numbers and inflation and high gas prices prices negate any wage growth by, going on now, 10%.

Let’s look at his reaction through the last six months as gas prices were rising. Don’t forget that gas, on average, was about $2.80 a gallon. in December of 2020 and shot up to $3.40 a gallon in November of 2021.

In this clip, he blamed the pandemic and everyone getting back to regular life, saying that rising gas prices would go away by now.

Yeah, he was wrong. He said that in October. We didn’t have a Russia/Ukraine war then. Russia wasn’t even massing troops at the Ukrainian border then.

Here he is blaming Russia and OPEC for not producing enough gas:

OK. He said this in November. We didn’t have a Russia/Ukraine war then. Russia wasn’t even massing troops at the Ukrainian border then.

This is what he said this morning when asked what is going to happen with gas prices:

That’s right it’s Russia’s fault. So it’s the pandemic, OPEC and Russia, and I’m sure it’s Trump’s fault somewhere here but I just couldn’t find a clip of anything. And he looked actually happy at the idea that he can blame Russia now. In fact, it looks like him stopping oil coming from Russia as an excuse for why prices are going up and will continue to go up.

This is the new narrative. The new excuse as to why we can’t blame Biden’s crappy policies.

Jen Psaki double-down on this:

OK, I call bullshit:

Putin had something to do with this but prices were going up all years.

Of course, Trump looks like Nostradamus. He predicted this during his campaign in 2020:

Sounds Like a Reasonable Bill to Me

The Florida Senate has passed bill HB1557. It is now heading to Gov. Ron DeSantis desk where he is expected to sign it. It discusses the way teachers in the state deal with sexual issues, sort of.

I’m going to do this is reverse order. First I am going to go through the reaction to the bill. Because, as you can imagine, the Left is going insane. Then we’re going to go through the bill, the actual bill, and see if the reaction is legitimate.

 

Media Reaction

The media immediately deemed this bill the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Again, we’ll get into the bill in a few minutes and that’s important. The naming of the bill, which doesn’t have a name, is misleading.

An LGBQIWXYZ-groups decided to release a video extenuating the “Don’t Say Gay” lie. I will call it a lie now even though I haven’t read you the bill yet. They released a video in protest of the video. It got together a bunch of celebrities and gay people who do nothing but say, “gay” a bunch of times. Listen:

I love when the Left makes videos like these. It shows three things:

  • They haven’t read the bill.
  • If they have read the bill, they have no way to debate it.
  • They’re just stupid.

Speaking of stupid, The View had their opinion on it. I mean, do they ever not have an opinion on anything?

Some things:

  • If it’s not happening, as Whoopie says, why is she so upset? This bill should mean nothing?
  • But it is happening. That’s why she’s upset.
  • But there is sex talk in grade three. There is sex talk and gender theory in kindergarten.
  • Something important, stop making teachers into heroes and parents into villain.
  • Teachers hiding what they are teaching kids from parents is not the same as the Gabriel Fernandez story. Most parents do not abuse their kids. This is what makes The View stupid.
  • You will see this when we get to the bill.

Mark Hamill, of Star Wars fame, tarnished his image. He tweeted “gay” 67 times. Way to give a legit argument, Mark. Thanks God Disney replaced your character in the upcoming Star Wars knockoffs.

The Political Reaction

Put politicians reacted to the bill too.

Florida Democrats walked through the halls of the Florida capital singing gay, gay, gay. Listen:

That was terrible. Sorry I had to make you listen to that but I had to so you had to.

Ever wonder why people wonder why nothing gets done in government?

The Biden administration also weighed in because they have nothing more important to worry about. The Department of Education appeared to threaten Florida over the bill.

Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement on Tuesday:

“Parents across the country are looking to national, state, and district leaders to support our nation’s students, help them recover from the pandemic, and provide them the academic and mental health supports they need. Instead, leaders in Florida are prioritizing hateful bills that hurt some of the students most in need.”

“The Department of Education has made clear that all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX’s protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. We stand with our LGBTQ+ students in Florida and across the country, and urge Florida leaders to make sure all their students are protected and supported.”

This statement is so stupid because I know what the bill says. You’ll know in a few minutes. But it has all the key words: hate, hurting students, civil rights, gender identity.

Joe Biden does support this bill but there’s a problem. Let’s listen to a question about the bill posed to Jen Psaki that, I’m pretty sure she didn’t expect:

Some things:

  • Biden didn’t support gay rights in the past! That’s OK, neither did Barrack Obama. But he has to please his base.
  • What difference does it matter that he was against this 25 years ago. He was against it. What changed his mind?
  • Why is it hateful now but not then?
  • Notice, she never answers the question. The guys who are voting for the bill know why they are voting for the bill and are vocal about it.
  • The question is why would Biden vote for a bill just like it 25 years ago (some say, that bill was worse) and be against it now? This press guy is wondering about Biden’s motivations.
  • Yeah, we don’t get any answer from the most transparent administration in history.

The Bill

Now, let’s go through the bill and see if this reaction is justified. You already know it’s not because I wouldn’t bring it up if it was.

  • The bill is only four pages long.
  • The bill never mentions the word gay.
  • The bill never mentions the word trans.
  • It doesn’t say anything about cis-gender, non-binary, my pronouns or anything about gender identity.

Let’s go through some of it. I am going to edit some of the wording but you can read the bill yourself. It’ll take five minutes.

  • The first section talks about student welfare.
  • …notifying a student’s parent if there is a change in the student’s services or monitoring related to the student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being and the school’s ability to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for the student. The procedures must reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children by requiring school district personnel to encourage a student to discuss issues relating to his or her well-being with his or her parent or to seek permission to discuss or facilitate discussion of the issue with the parent. 
    • In other words, you have to tell parents what you are teaching, parents have a right to say they don’t want something taught, and teachers should encourage kids to talk to their parents.
    • That’s very different than before where teachers told student to hide things from their parents.
    • By the way, nothing about gender here. A teacher just has to tell the parents what’s going on with the child’s health or a change in curriculum.
  • A school district may not adopt procedures or student support forms that prohibit school district personnel from notifying a parent about his or her student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being, or a change in related services or monitoring, or that encourage or have the effect of encouraging a student to withhold from a parent such information.
    • Seems reasonable.
    • A school cannot create rules that prohibits teachers, administration and districts from talking to parents.
  • A school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.
    • This is the one that has the Left flipping.
    • Primary grades are kindergarten through third grade. The Left wants to teach 5-year-olds about sex. That’s grooming.
    • The Left doesn’t like the vagueness of the law.
    • I think it is vague. They should have gone much further.
  • A parent of a student may bring an action against a school district to obtain a declaratory judgment that a school district procedure or practice violates this paragraph and seek injunctive relief.
    • Parents can sue schools.
    • I have no problem with this.

That’s it. That’s the law.

  • Parents have a right to know what teachers are doing.
  • Teachers have to say if their kids have problems and not hide things from the parents.
  • Teachers shouldn’t be teaching sex education to little kids.
  • And, if the teachers don’t do any of that, parents can sue.

That’s it. That’s the bill. Anything really bazar about it? I never had any of these problems when I was in school.

Well, Ron DeSantis had enough with the media flipping out about. He went off on a reporter when he brought it up and made him look bad:

Of course, the reporter posted it as if he was a hero.
