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.
