News

Here is some news:

  • Joe Biden went on vacation to Delaware again. That makes for 304 days Old Joe hasn’t been at the White House or 40% since he’s been elected. I’m glad he takes his job seriously.
  • Finally, Merick Garland, the Attorney General, took a trip to Ukraine. Yeah, I don’t know why.
    • I heard he didn’t bring any money with him unlike Biden and Yellen so I’m sure Zolinsky was not too thrilled with him.
    • He should worry more about the crime problem in the United States than about Ukraine.
    • My big question is how dangerous is it in Ukraine if everybody and their mother has been there?
  • A riot in Atlanta, Georgia. This was Antifa rioting against a police training center.
    • 35 people were arrested.
    • Molotov cocktails and rocks were used.
    • Most of the people arrested were from out of state.

Stepping Into It

Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire sure lit up social media on Saturday.

Knowles was speaking at CPAC on Saturday and he this:

The Left flipped completely out!

HuffPo, The Rolling Stone, Yahoo! News and the Daily Beast all wrote that Knowles was promoting a genocide against transgender people. That’s not what he said and any honest person would know that if they actually listened to the clip. The Daily Wire and Knowles himself threatened a lawsuit if the publications did not retract their stories and issue an apology. The outlets all changed the titles of their stories after the threat but I am not aware if any of them apologized.

California state representative Scott Weiner tweeted:

“These words were in a speech by a major right wing figure at a national conservative conference. It’s a straight up call for genocide. That’s what this fight is about. They want us gone.”

This genius wants to lower prison sentences for pedophiles and rapists (We’ll talk about this later this week) and thinks drag and trangenderism should be taught to kids as young as 6 years old.

Here’s the thing, Knowles didn’t say to eradicate trans people. He said the ideology needs to be eradicated because it affecting and confusing people, which is true. It needs to be removed from all institutions, especially the education system. We should be allowed to have norms in this country.

The other thing Knowles points out is this ideology is just wrong. There is no truth behind it. There is no science behind it. The ideology cannot stand up to scrutiny. That’s why these people just start screaming names at people who disagree with it.

Twitter blew up!

Journalist Mark Hemmingway said:

“Transgenderism isn’t an orientation or anything we historically recognize; it’s an overwhelmingly new mimetic ideology where confrontationally transgressing against norms is part of the kink. The trans community are the aggressors here.”

They want to dance in front of kids, read to them in libraries and put this trans-crap in school curriculums. Who are the ones that are breaking the norms?

Podcast star Liz Wheeler tweeted:

“Good day to everyone especially michaeljknowles who was absolutely correct when he said we should eradicate transgenderism – the cultural practice of indulging psychiatric delusion to the point of mutilating children’s healthy bodies & erasing women.”

Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire tweeted:

“He is of course completely right about this,” wrote Walsh. “Trangenderism as a concept and an ideology is false, poisonous, and destructive to both the individual and society. It needs to be destroyed entirely. The fight to save children from this lunacy is but one phase in the overall war.”

Jim Hansen, a former special forces member and author tweeted:

Conservatives Need to Make Their Own

I talked bit about how Conservative outlets should work to create alternative products and services for people who want the stuff but don’t want the woke lecture that comes with it. Well we have a new business that Conservatives can tap into: Slack.

According to the Daily Wire:

The software company Slack informed Chaya Raichik, the founder of Libs of TikTok, this week that it permanetely suspended her from being able to use their services over a violation that the company would not disclose.

Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon, who is a top supporter of Libs of TikTok, posted a screenshot of the email that the company sent explaining their decision to not do business with Raichik.

“We are writing to let you know that we have suspended your workspace, lott-chat.slack.com, for violations of our Acceptable Use Policy,” the company said. “As highlighted in Slack’s Acceptable Use Policy, Slack may exercise its right to suspend or terminate your access.”

“We have refunded the most recent monthly charge of $75 to your credit card,” the email continued. “You can expect to see a refund on our card in 5-7 business days. We can provide you with a copy of the data stored in your Slack instance using an electronic file transfer service on request.”

If you don’t know Slack, it is a collaboration software that allows you to chat, video conference and share applications with multiple people.

If you don’t know who Libs of TikTok is, it’s a Twitter account that posts video from TikTok of trans people and Left wing teachers and what they say with very little commentary. Basically all this gal does is let Leftists show how screwed up their ideology and how they are pushing it on your kids. If you’re a person who thinks he’s trans, no problem for Slack. But if you post a teacher saying all her kids are trans and she’s not going to tell the parents, you’re gone.

So, if there any Conservative software developers, here’s an opportunity to make some money. Go to it.

In other examples of cancellation,  PNC Bank is going after the Trumps again.

According to Fox News:

PNC Financial Services Group Inc. abruptly terminated its business relationship with the news aggregation app company launched last year by Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich, Fox News Digital has learned, which the company called the latest move by “woke corporations” to silence conservatives.

MxM News was founded and launched last year by Trump Jr. and Budowich to compete with apps that aggregate news content for readers, like Apple News, Google News and others that conservatives have accused of censorship. The parent company of MxM News is ROCDIGITAL, LLC.

Budowich told Fox News Digital that he first learned of the abrupt closure of the company’s PNC account when he visited a Florida branch office to pay vendor invoices.

“The teller said he was unable to complete the transfers as the account had been closed and balance had been zeroed out,” Budowich told Fox News Digital.

This is what is really scary. When a bank, holding your money, just closes and zeros out an account without any real reasons. This can happen to anyone if it’s happening to a multimillion dollar company. This should also be illegal. The Trumps should be able to sue this bank and they should win.

Alternatives people! We need alternatives!

Haircuts Are Racist?

Here is another dumb story about everything being racist. Honestly, I’m not exactly sure what is racist here because there are so many things that could be considered racist in this story and I’m not going to read the entire 3000 word essay.

The story is from the New York Times and is called, Black Equestrians Want to Be Safe. But They Can’t Find Helmets by McKenna Oxenden. Of course, she’s white.

Again, this broad wrote over 3000 words on this crap, but we can get the gist of it with the first few paragraphs. Here it is:

Chanel Robbins has been riding horses most of her life, ever since her grandmother traded a cow from their family’s farm in Ontario for a pony when she was 7.

Galloping through the fields on her pony, Star, offered an escape from thoughts that weighed on her — that she didn’t have a relationship with her biological parents, for instance, or that she was the only Black girl in the neighborhood, aside from her sister.

About eight years ago, she reconnected with her father, a native of Jamaica. As the two grew closer, Ms. Robbins decided to style her hair in locs, like her dad. But there was a problem: Her riding helmet no longer fit, and she couldn’t find one that did.

“I finally freaking feel like myself, and now society is asking me to change,” Ms. Robbins, 27, of Alliston, Ontario, said as she choked back tears. “I just want to be able to ride.”

Here’s the question I have for you, what racist? The horses? Horse riding? Is it helmets? Or is it making someone get a haircut. This article was kind of all over the place. I’m going to make an assumption, all of it is. She may not have meant that in the article but she did imply it. Let’s break this down.

Horses, like sidewalks and bridges, of unaware things. Horses wouldn’t know race if it fell on them. So this is just stupid but I’m not a hundred percent sure she was calling horses racist.

Is horse riding racist? Well, she says that in the title. But is it? The subject of the article can still ride horses. She says in the article that the rider wants to wear a helmet to be safe but she doesn’t have to. The rider decided to grow her hair out into these huge dreadlocks and now can’t find a helmet that fits. So she feels “unsafe.” She even said her grandfather suffered a neck injury while riding a horse.  No one is saying she can’t ride and she was riding with a helmet before she grew her hair out. It doesn’t sound like the sport is racist. It sounds like there are some requirements for the safety of the rider.

There are other sports that have requirements no one likes. You can’t have long hair in NASCAR because of the snugness of fit and all the drivers hate those neck braces they have to wear. But it is required and no one has died in a car crash in a while.

Are the companies who make helmets racist for not making a helmet to sccomodate this broad’s huge hair style? A helmet is designed to protect the skull and, therefore, must conform to the skull. It is not on your head to protect your hair. If one has a lot of hair, the skull does not have that protection. Also, a lot of hair makes it difficult for a helmet to stay securely on the head. Football players go through this in high school and college. Helmets are standardized and are made to fit a head with little hair. In the NFL, where you see everyone with dreadlocks, the helmets are customized. Even then, the hair needs to be shaped in a certain way. With all that, helmets still fall off more now than they did before everyone had big hair.

Finally, are haircuts racist? Here’s something the article never brings up. She can have long hair and wear a helmet. My daughter rode horses and had really long hair. She got the helmet on. This woman just can’t have the dreadlocks because it makes her hair too thick. She could grow her hair out.

You what’s stupid about this story? The fact the the New York Times made this into a story. These folks at the Times are running out of things to call racist. That’s why a story like this is so stupid and an obvious overreach.
