Episode 675 – Can We Agree That This Is Just Mental Illness?

We have an idea of what was shot down last week. This is another example of government incompetence.

A big surprise about the status of John Fetterman.

And California seems to want to foster crime. God, I need to get out of this state.

 

News

Here’s the news:

  • Apparently the United States shot down a $16 balloon from a hobby shop.
    • This is coming from Aviation Week.
    • The Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade’s (NIBBB) silver-coated, party-style “pico balloon” reported its last position on Feb. 10 at nearly 40,000 ft. off the west coast of Alaska.
    • Small pico balloons range between $12 and $180 and are naturally buoyant above 43,000 ft. These objects carry an 11-gram tracker, with HF and VHF/UHG antennas to update their positions around the world, according to Aviation Week.
    • Here’s the thing, one of the missiles might have missed, requiring two missiles to take down this balloon.
    • The missiles used are Sidewinder missiles which cost $400,000 a piece. Complete incompetence.
  • A coalition of 24 states filed a federal lawsuit against the Biden administration Thursday, arguing a recent environmental regulation is unlawful and would harm their residents.
    • The states — led by West Virginia, Georgia, Iowa and North Dakota — said in the lawsuit that the so-called Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule unveiled in late December is an attack on their sovereign authority regulating bodies of water and surrounding land.
    • The lawsuit named the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the two agencies that signed off on the rule, as defendants in the case.
  • John Fetterman has checked himself into Walter Reed Military Medical Hospital for clinical depression.
    • He had a stroke last year but they ran him for the Senate anyway.
    • Not a shock. Instead of recovering, he was campaigning.
    • Fetterman was hospitalized last week after feeling dizzy but it was determined he did not have any issues.
    • He has been living alone in Washington DC since he became Senator.
    • There is talk that Fetterman’s wife, Giselle, will be appointed to take over. If this happens, it just shows she’s a garbage human being.
  • In sad news:
    • Bruce Willis, who retired because he was diagnosed with aphasia, had his diagnose updated. He is now suffering from dementia. He is only 67.
    • Former MLB catcher and Hall of Famer, Tim McCarver, has died. He was 81.

Another Great Idea from California

California just continues to show it is the crappiest state in the country. They are proud of it.

According to Red State:

In an effort to make the state’s education system even dumber, California legislators are considering legislation that would bar schools from suspending students who defy teachers or disrupt class. It is yet another foolhardy endeavor taken on by so-called progressives who think it will help to promote “equity” or some other nonsense.

That’s right. They’re doing this because everything is racist!

Continuing:

The Epoch Times reported:

Senate Bill 274, introduced by Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley), said such suspensions lead to students dropping out and exacerbate learning loss at a time when many are still behind due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Skinner also said such suspensions disproportionately affect Black male students, citing a 2018 study that reported they are three times more likely to be suspended for willful defiance than the statewide average.

“SB 274 is based on a simple premise: students belong in school,” Skinner said in a Feb. 1 press release. “Instead of kicking them out of school, we owe it to students to figure out what’s causing them to act out and help them fix it.”

If passed, the bill would permanently ban willful defiance suspensions from elementary through middle school by the fall of 2024. It would also prohibit suspensions for tardiness or truancy.

So let me get this straight:

  • If you riot, that’s OK.
  • If you steal, that’s OK.
  • If you rape, that’s OK.
  • If you molest a child, that’s OK.
  • If you crap in the middle of the street, that’s OK.
  • If you shoot up drugs in a park, that’s OK.
  • If you sleep in a tent in front of someone’s house or business, that’s OK.

It seems to me, California, instead of preventing bad behavior, is expanding it and teaching it. Why? Because these people, people of color, can’t control themselves. In other words, the bigotry of low expectations. California continues to promote laws that allow racism, sexism, appropriation, child sex abuse and crime.

Oh, yeah, and they want to tax you for it.

By the way, the state’s population dropped by 500,000 between 2020 and 2022. I wonder why?

Why?

They are re-releasing Barney the Dinosaur and giving him an update. If you don’t know who Barney the Dinosaur is, he is that annoying purple dinosaur that used to be a live action kids show. It was a really annoying show. We can now add creepy to it now that we know they guy who used to wear the costume is now a sex coach.

Anyway, Josh Silverman, who is an executive for Mattel toys said:

“We will tap into the nostalgia of the generations who grew up with Barney, now parents themselves, and introduce the iconic purple dinosaur to a new generation of kids and families around the world across content, products, and experiences.”

So, Mattel is hoping that people today who saw Barney in the past will suddenly feel warmth in the hearts and suddenly watch the new show or force their kids to watch it. What Mattel doesn’t know is kids stopped watching that show the second they turned 7 years old because the show was stupid.

The new show will be shown on YouTube, television and even movies. They plan to release toys, books and clothing including for adults and children.

They released a preview of the new animated Barney. People say he looks creepy. I think it just looks like a more fleshed out Barney.

Good luck to them.

You Don’t Say

Just read the article from the link below. This is truly disturbing and one has to wonder what the NCAA is actually supporting.

Equity

This is a teacher who wants to teach children about the beauty of communism by “equitably” splitting up the kid’s lunches. Let be just tell you, this is a terrible human being and should be fired.

This broad should be fired. This is nothing more than common theft. Shows you a lot about what communism is about.
