Our betters have finally ranked of the Presidents in United States History. I’m sure you are going to be surprised by the results.

Jamaal Bowman says something really stupid. I’ll prove it.

And is the NBA targeting white players? I don’t know. Let’s talk about it.

Dumbass of the Day

Uh, no. That is a culture we don’t need.

Rewriting History

According to the Blaze:

Scholars and “experts” are trying to give President Joe Biden a rare polling victory.

The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, conducted from Nov. 15 to Dec. 3, polled more 150 historians and American political science scholars — so-called “experts” in their field of research — and asked them to rate each president on a scale of “0-100 for their overall greatness.” The lower the score, the worse the president; the higher the score, the better.

Here is how the scholars ranked the top-five U.S. presidents, followed by their average “greatness” score:

1. Abraham Lincoln: 93.87
2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt: 90.83
3. George Washington: 90.32
4. Theodore Roosevelt: 78.58
5. Thomas Jefferson: 77.53

And to the absolute shock of no one, the group of professional academics said Donald Trump is the worst president in U.S. history, giving him an average score of 10.92.

But to the surprise of nearly everyone, these scholars listed Biden as the 14th-best president in American history, with an average score of 62.66.

That means they believe Biden is a better president than Ronald Reagan — who won the most lopsided Electoral College victory in 1984 — and George H.W. Bush, Ulysses Grant, Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, James Monroe, William McKinley, and James Polk, all of whom are historically recognized as above-average presidents.

The survey, unfortunately, did not include the experts’ justification. Thus, it remains unclear why they rated Biden as one of the best modern presidents despite being one of the most unpopular presidents in post-depression American history, even more unpopular at this point in his presidency than Trump was in February 2020.

Is This a Surprise?

According to Outkick:

Three times over the past year, an NBA player has assaulted another player during or before a game.

This week, Pistons’ forward Isaiah Stewart punched Suns’ forward Drew Eubanks during a confrontation before the teams’ matchup Wednesday night.

Earlier this season, Draymond Green struck Jusuf Nurkic in the face.  

Green stomped on the chest of Kings’ guard Domantas Sabonis during a game last April.

In each, the NBA saw a black player assault a white player. Perhaps that’s why the trend isn’t receiving much attention. 

White players account for just 16.8 percent of the NBA, yet accounted for 100 percent of the last three players assaulted in the NBA. How could that be? 

What’s happening here is that players are reacting overly emotionally in the heat of the moment. They are resorting to violence because of prior, charged-up animus.

Former players Kendrick Perkins and Gilbert Arenas mentioned last year that there are black players who think white players are not skilled enough to compete on the court with black players, and thus rely upon systemic advantages to compete.

“Most black [people] (and a lot of white guys) think white guys can’t hoop & need special treatment in order to be viewed on the same level,” explained former college basketball player and Fox Sports Radio host Doug Gottlieb.

Specifically, Arenas said this is “our league” – as in a black league – and more-than-half-jokingly encouraged further violence toward white players.

Arenas got his wish: a black player assaulted another white player this week. 

The nasty view some players share about white competitors was notable in 2020 when players and media members supported  Montrezl Harrell when he called Luka Doncic a “bitch ass white boy” to his face. 

See, the media and social media repeatedly tell black players that their white counterparts are privileged. Black players are led to believe that white players are their enemies. 

The press has uttered the phrase  “The Great White Hope” several times over the past year regarding Jokic, Luka, and Caitlin Clark – subsequently telling black players that the majority white nation is rooting for them to fail because they are black.

That is, of course, a lie. 

But when you hear a lie enough, you start to believe the lie – even if the facts don’t support the claim. Evidently, there are black players in the NBA who now believe that lie. 

NFL players feel the same way. 

Tyreek Hill, A.J. Brown, and Richard Sherman each this week suggested that a black player would’ve been “kicked out of the NFL” had they reacted the way Travis Kelce did toward Andy Reid on the Super Bowl sideline.

That is also not true. Just look at Hill’s history of domestic violence and the lack of consequences he has faced. 

There’s a natural feeling of abhorrence of those you believe are more privileged and fortunate than you. So, it’s hardly stunning to see some black players lose their cool in a heated moment with a white competitor. 

The trend is a combination of a more divisive culture and the rise of white superstars in basketball.  Not since Larry Bird in the 1980s has a white player challenged for the title of the best basketball player in the world. Today, Jokic and Luka are arguably the two best players in the world.

Likewise, Caitlin Clark is the best women’s basketball player in the nation. She is a phenomenon. 

In fact, Dan Dakich and Jason Whitlock forewarn Clark could receive the same level of indignation – and perhaps violence – as white NBA players when she enters the WNBA next season.

“She’s going to face a level of racism from black players, and she’s going to face a level of hostility from lesbian players because she’s not on team LGBTQ. She’s a Catholic [and] she’s got some boyfriend,” which means she’s going to walk into an extremely hostile environment,” said Whitlock.

Recall how Angel Reese gestured aggressively in Clark’s face last season upon winning the championship. 

And how former WNBA player Sheryl Swoopes cited a series of lies last week to diminish Clark’s legacy, lies on which Swoopes doubled down. 

The resentment of white players is real. It’s obvious.

These are the consequences of racial division and letting blatant anti-white racism go unchecked, as the sports media so often does.

If the over/under on another white player being assaulted in the NBA this season is 0.5 – take the over.

Ann Coulter drops a truth bomb and the media keeps proving her point.

Meanwhile, the state of Minnesota is becoming a crap-hole in the name of equity and justice.

And the LGBTQ+ cult continues to mock Christians with support of the Catholic Church.

Dumbass of the Day

The Silence is Deafening

Ann Coulter was on the Bill Maher show and they were talking about the Super Bowl parade attack in Kansas City. At the time, we had absolutely no identification of the shooters. Here’s what Coulter said to Maher:

Um, turned out she was right. Three males were arrested. All were black. We already knew something was up because the major news outlets were talking about gun control. Turns out the gun control thing was bad too. Two of the three were kids. They weren’t legally able to have guns and the guns were handguns not “assualt” rifles.

So, we know that if a black commits a crime, no one will talk about blacks committing crimes. Now, blacks can’t even be criminals.

Don’t forget, at this parade; one died, twenty were shot and seven of those shot were kids. It looks like these shooters are going to be handled with kid gloves.

According to the AP:

Two juveniles were charged with crimes connected to the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally, authorities said Friday, as the city tries to recover in the aftermath of the violence.

A news release from the Jackson County Family Court said the juveniles are being detained in the county’s Juvenile Detention Center on gun-related and resisting arrest charges. Additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.

No further information was released. Defendants age 17 and under in Missouri are typically adjudicated through the juvenile system, which is far more private than the system for adults. Names of the accused are not released, nor are police documents such as probable cause statements.

Don’t bet on it. The fact they are charging these kids as minors shows that this is going to disappear. Remember, someone is dead and 20 others were injured. Tha means these kids were armed to the teeth. They were looking to get into trouble. They will be back on the streets within a couple of years.

Also, notice the race of the kids is not mentioned. If these were white kids, it would be all over the news. This is a BLM, Defund the Police city.

You will not hear another word about this.

More Evidence Needed

There is another example of this.

According to the AP:

A man armed with multiple guns and large amounts of ammunition shot at police officers from inside a suburban Minneapolis home that was filled with children on Sunday, killing two officers and a firefighter who was providing medical aid to one of the wounded, authorities said.

A third officer was wounded in the shooting in a tree-lined neighborhood of two-story homes in Burnsville, Minnesota. The suspect in the shooting also died, officials said.

Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans said there was an exchange of gunfire, and authorities were still piecing together details of what he described as a “terrible day.”

Again, this happened on Sunday and was forgotten by Monday. Why? The three killed were white and the shooter was black.

The media also can’t talk abot gun control. This guy was a felon that just had a request for the restoration of gun rights denied because he had three different assault with a deadly weapon charges and had a restraining orderon him

Can’t talk about that. Blacks don’t commit crimes. The story was disappeared.

Evil

According to the Post Millennial:

The Archdiocese of New York which operates the St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City said that it shares the “outrage over the scandalous behavior at a funeral” earlier in the week for a trans activist and offered “an appropriate Mass of Reparation” to reconsecrate the cathedral. The funeral proceedings celebrated blasphemy, whoredom, and had prayers for access to sex changes.

According to the statement, the Archdiocese “only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea [its] welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way.”

Bullshit.

This was the introduction to the mass by a Catholic priest. He, too, insulted Catholics who actually go to the church:

Does that sound like the church or this priest didn’t support wht these perverts were doing?

A little bit about this guy:

• He was from Argentina and illegally entered this country.
• He was homeless.
• He used drugs.
• He was a prostitute.
• He became an AIDS advocate.
• He went to parties, spoke with politicians and even acted in television (only in America).
• He was a devout athiest.
• She is anti-Semetic and wanted a permament cease fire in Gaza.
• Makes you wonder why he had to have his funeral at a Catholic church.
• They say they don’t know how he died. That means he died of AIDS (AIDS is the disease of gay people).

It gets worse, here is the eulogy.

The church made a statement:

AOC decided to honor this guy. What’s ironic is she has a big ash cross on her forehead in celebration of Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent.

Alejandro Myorkas gets impeached. What happens now?

The Republican majority gets thinner

And let’s take a look at some of the other perverts who are escaping legal consequences.

Some News

Here is some news:

• Three Republican lawmakers voted against impeaching Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Tuesday night as the House of Representatives successfully impeached the border chief over his mishandling of the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
  • Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., Ken Buck, R-Colo., and Tom McClintock, R-Calif., bucked their party to side with Democrats in opposing Mayorkas’ impeachment.
  • The 214-213 vote comes after Mayorkas narrowly defeated impeachment last week when every House Democrat showed up to protect him, including Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who temporarily left the hospital where he was recovering from surgery to cast his vote.
  • House Republicans have accused Mayorkas of ignoring existing immigration law and worsening the situation at the Southern Border.
• The House GOP’s narrow majority is poised to get even smaller with the result of Tuesday’s special election in New York’s 3rd Congressional District to replace freshman Rep. George Santos (R-NY) following his ouster.
  • News outlets called the race in favor of Democrat Tom Suozzi over his GOP rival, Mazi Pilip, in their race to finish out what is roughly 11 months left in the two-year term for the Long Island seat a couple within a couple hours of polls closing.
  • Now, Republicans only have a 2 vote majority.
• Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced on Tuesday that he was sending more National Guard troops to Texas as illegal crossings at the southern border continue at record levels.

The Violence Just Keeps Going Around the World

According to Reduxx:

A 52-year-old trans-identified male convicted for the possession of sickening child sexual abuse materials has told a court that he viewed the material to assist in the development of his “gender identity.” The man, who has not been named due to Germany’s strict privacy laws, was granted a lenient sentence after a judge accepted his excuse.

News reports have used the false name Jürgen or Beate Kämmerer when referring to the pedophile, who had saved over 70 child and youth pornography files on various devices. Kämmerer appeared before the Hersbruck district court last Monday, where he presented his bizarre reasons for accessing the heinous material.

Kämmerer told the court that he “did not view the pornographic content with pedophilic intent or to satisfy a sexual desire,” reported Nürnberger Nachrichten, but instead to aid in his gender transition. Presiding Judge André Gläßl and the public prosecutor both accepted the reasons given by Kämmerer justifying his possession of child pornography.

Afterall, He’s the Victim

According to the Post Millennial:

A Kentucky trans-identified biological male who has been charged with sexually abusing a baby will not face jail time after reaching a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Maria “Mark” Childers, a transgender daycare worker in Kentucky, had been charged with one count of first-degree sexual abuse of a victim under 12 and three counts of first-degree criminal abuse of a child under 12. 

On January 29, 2024, Childers struck an agreement with prosecutors which included entering a guilty plea in exchange for his charge of first-degree sexual abuse of a victim under 12 to be amended to sexual misconduct, which is a Class A misdemeanor. The remaining abuse charges were also dropped, according to Reduxx.

Childers, who first began identifying as a woman seven years ago, was represented by prominent trans activist lawyer Madison Leach.

Childers had been sentenced to 12 months in prison, but the judge postponed sentencing in favor of a 6-month conditional discharge. In addition to avoiding incarceration, the defendant may be able to clear his criminal record if he adheres to the conditions of the conditional discharge, per the outlet.

This is not his first offense. He was charged twice before for physical and sexual abuse.

There are some things:

• A man who says he’s a woman is of the highest victim class. The government can’t do anything bad to them.
• This is a way to normalize pedophilia.

It’s All a Lie

According to the Daily Wire:

The Department of Health and Human Services said it has only two pages of literature supporting Assistant Secretary Rachel Levine’s assessment that “gender-affirming care” is “necessary” for transgender youth, prompting allegations that the transgender-identifying Biden administration official has violated the Department’s scientific integrity policies by baselessly claiming it’s settled science.

Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT), a nonprofit watchdog, filed a Freedom of Information Act request for “records of scientific evidence, studies, and/or data to support the Assistant Secretary’s claim that ‘gender-affirming care is medically necessary, safe, and effective for trans and non-binary youth,’” as well as for “records of surveys of medical professionals regarding the value and importance of ‘gender-affirming care’ for minor children.”

In response, HHS produced only a single document—a two-page PDF called “Gender-Affirming Care and Young People.” The document is also on HHS’ website and is not a scientific study, but rather a brochure that declares that “research demonstrates that gender-affirming care improves the mental health and overall well-being of gender-diverse children.”

It supports the statement with a footnote to a single study that showed that transgender-identifying young people were slightly less suicidal when receiving treatment — 51% who were receiving such care were suicidal, slightly lower than the 62% who weren’t receiving hormones but wanted them. The HHS document also states that puberty blockers are reversible and hormone therapy is partially reversible.

HHS claimed that Levine — a man who believes he is a woman — made no other mentions of “gender-affirming care” in his emails, PPT said. 

PPT on Tuesday wrote to the HHS Inspector General requesting that the office open an investigation, saying that Levine is violating the Department’s scientific integrity policies by making politically-motivated declarations and misrepresenting scientific evidence. 

“This suggests that Assistant Secretary Levine has constantly, continually, ‘everywhere I go,’ made unequivocal statements regarding the medical necessity, safety, and effectiveness of gender-affirming care based entirely upon a single two-page document,” the letter said. 

The complaint, obtained exclusively by The Daily Wire, says that government officials using their stature as science officials to make politically motivated statements and casting them as irrefutable science risks a further “loss of trust” in scientific institutions that would be “cataclysmic.”

The Senate decides to spend another $100 billion.

Joe Biden refuses to prove how sharp he is by taking a cognitive test.

And why does the media have suck a problem condemning trans-violence?

News

Here is some news:

• Joe Biden “enabled” his son Hunter to sell access to the United States’ “most dangerous adversaries,” including the Chinese Communist Party, Russia and more, the first son’s ex-business associate Tony Bobulinski is expected to testify as part of the impeachment inquiry Tuesday.
• The Senate passed a $95 billion national security supplemental package to assist Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific after a tedious procedural process that came to an end early Tuesday morning.
  • The package includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza and nearly $5 billion for the Indo-Pacific.
  • The final vote was 70 to 29, with 22 Republicans voting yes. Democratic Sens. Peter Welch and Jeff Merkley, plus independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, voted no.
  • The supplemental package does not include any border security provisions and comes as the national debt soars above $34 trillion.
• Inflation rose more than expected in January thanks to a jump in grocery and housing costs, underscoring the challenge of taming price pressures within the economy.
  • The Labor Department said Tuesday that the consumer price index, a broad measure of the price of everyday goods including gasoline, groceries and rent, rose 0.3% in January from the previous month. Prices climbed 3.1% from the same time last year.
  • Core prices, which exclude the more volatile measurements of food and energy, climbed 0.4% – the largest monthly increase since April 2023. It rose 3.9% annually. Both of those figures are slightly higher than estimates.
  •  Rent costs rose 0.6% for the month and are up 6.1% from the same time last year. Rising rents are concerning because higher housing costs most directly and acutely affect household budgets.
  •  Food prices, a visceral reminder of inflation for many Americans, rose 0.4% over the course of the month. Grocery costs also rose 0.4% last month and are up 1.2% compared with the same time last year.
  • The price of both health insurance and auto insurance also jumped in January, rising 1.4% over the course of the month. 

Joe Biden had a reason there inflation before the Super Bowl. All those evil corporations are causing inflation. Listen:

This Must be a Joke!!

According to the Post Millennial:

The Houston Police Department gave a briefing on Monday and revealed that they conducted an investigation to determine the preferred pronouns of the Lakewood Church shooter. The shooter, Gennese Moreno, used previous aliases including Jeffrey, but it has been determined that Moreno was female, per police.

“There are some discrepancies,” said Commander Hassig during the briefing. “We do have reports she used multiple aliases including Jeffrey Escalante, she has utilized both male and female names, but through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, documents, Houston Police Department reports she had been identified this entire time as female, ‘she/her,’ and so we are identifying her as Gennese Moreno, Hispanic female.”

F- ing Canada!

According to Reduxx:

The Metro Vancouver Transit Police say they “don’t know” if the primary suspect in a skytrain sexual assault is male or female despite having recovered semen during the investigation.

On February 8, the Transit Police issued a press release pleading for help to identify the suspect. While photos and videos showed what appeared to be a male with long hair, some basic information on the suspect was curiously omitted from the release. No pronouns were used, and no information on the suspect’s sex was included.

In a recorded phone call with journalist Amy Hamm, Constable Amanda Steed said the information had been intentionally left out because the Transit Police were unsure of how to refer to the suspect.

“We’ve left it out for a reason; it’s because we don’t know. The video evidence shows someone who… would appear female, who is female presenting, but the physical evidence is that of a genetic male,” Steed said. She later confirmed in an email to Reduxx that the physical evidence is in fact the suspect’s semen. 

Despite claiming that the Transit Police “didn’t know” what the sex of the suspect was, Steed admitted that they “believe” he has a penis.

“The suspect we believe does have a penis,” said Steed, when asked if the victim was raped. “But the video shows someone who appears to be female presenting, so that’s why we left the gender out. Because we weren’t really sure how this person identifies—we didn’t want to get it wrong.”

The Chiefs win back-to-back Super Bowls. This cost Josie a hundred bucks. Let’s talk about that.

There was some attempt to wokify the NFL and this attempt has already failed heavily.

And Sunny Hostin of The View gets a surprise.

Some News

Here is some news:

• Chiefs beat the 49ers, 25-22.
  • The Black Nation Anthem, some poem some guy wrote in the 1800s, was sang way before the game. There was mass mockery of it. No one stood.
  • The National Anthem was sang by Reba McEntire.
  • There was nothing in the game that look fixed.
• They had oral arguments in front of the Supreme Court about Trump not being on the ballot in Colorado.
  • This will determine what 13 other states are going to do.
  • Two of the Justices kept arguing that Trump was an insurrectionist.
  • Overall, the judges were skeptical.
  • It will probably be 7-2 though a lot of people say it will be 9-0.
  • As much as people bitch, the Supreme Court is unanimous 75% of the time.
• Special Counsel Robert Hur will not recommend criminal charges against President Biden for mishandling classified documents, according to his report after a months-long investigation into the president’s alleged improper retention of classified records. 
  • “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone from whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
  • Joe Biden held a press conference and it was a disaster. It proved the special counsel was right.
  • Donald Trump says his charges should be dropped.
• A woman in a trench coat armed with a long rifle – and accompanied by a young child – entered pastor Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church on Sunday afternoon and began firing, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said.
  • Two off-duty law enforcement officers – a Houston police officer and an agent with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission – engaged and struck the woman, who died on the scene, Finner said. The woman was roughly 30-35 years old, the chief said.

This is Why I Am a Conservative

According to Fox News:

As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to compete in Sunday’s Super Bowl, a group of Native Americans is renewing their call for the team to drop its name, mascot and fan-driven “tomahawk chop” ritual.

Activist Rhonda LeValdo is one of the individuals leading the fight to see the use of Native American imagery and references in sports come to an end. She is the founder of a Kansas City-based group called Not In Our Honor. 

LeValdo and dozens of Indigenous activists have traveled to Las Vegas, the site of Super Bowl LVIII, to protest and demand the team alter its nickname, abandon its logo, and cease certain game rituals they view as offensive. Protesters had the same goal a few years ago when they organized a demonstration outside Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, ahead of the start of Super Bowl LV.

You knew this was coming. For their part, the Chiefs have beard all this BS before and have told these activists to kick rocks.

They also learned from the Washington Redskins that cancelling their name has pissed of a lot of Native American tribes, especially the one the Washington Redskins was honoring!

According to the New York Post:

A group called the Native American Guardian’s Association (NAGA) is demanding the Washington Commanders change their name back to the Redskins, organizing support for the name reversal with a petition that has gained more than 90,000 signatures.

“We invite all Americans to stand up for the dignity of EVERY AMERICAN under assault in today’s increasingly nonsensical culture wars,” the petition says.

“This ‘LINE IN THE SAND’ moment reinforces undeniable history of the NATIVE AMERICAN assisting the FOUNDING OF AMERICA, with NATIVE AMERICAN principles used by the FOUNDING FATHERS in the US Constitution – and, EVERY AMERICAN’s right to the 1st and 14th Amendment and not to be targets of cancel culture or ESG.

“This is not a simple left or right issue for Americans; it reaches across the political spectrum dating back to our Founding Fathers.”

Some facts:

• Walter “Blackie” Wetzel, a former leader of the Blackfeet Nation, helped the NFL develop the Indian head logo for the “Redskins” football team, which players debuted on helmets in 1972.
• The profile of a Native American trimmed with a circle of life and two eagle feathers.
• The logo was a composite of portraits of a Blackfeet chief named White Calf (who was marketed to wealthy tourists of Glacier National Park as Two Guns White Calf). Blackie considered the logo a sort of “unification symbol” among Native Americans.
• Being called a Redskin is considered a compliment. Redskins were the warriors of the tribe. There are Indians today who consider themselves Redskins and are proud of it.

Most Indians think this is a cancelling of Native Americans (whatever that means). The Land O Lakes butter logo is considered another example. In that logo, the pulled the pretty Indian lady and kept the land. Does that sound familiar?

We Had a Revolution for Less

According to Fox News:

George Sheetz spent 50 years in construction, saving his money. He bought a vacant lot not far from Lake Tahoe and planned to build a house there for his retirement.

But when Sheetz went to get a building permit, he was issued an unexpected “traffic impact mitigation” fee for over $23,000. The county legislature created the fee a few years earlier to help pay for roadwork.

“That’s when I started getting pissed off,” Sheetz told Fox News. “I said, ‘this is ridiculous.’”

Sheetz has built several homes throughout his life, so he was familiar with the typical administrative processes and costs.

“‘Well, you don’t have to build here,’” he recalled a county official saying after he complained. “‘Go someplace else.’”

The reason the state is doing this came from Sheetz attorney, Paul Beard:

“They asked him to pay for traffic impacts caused by other uses and developments like retail development and office development. Why should he have had to pay for those pre-existing deficiencies and for those impacts caused by other uses?”

Why Not?

According to Fox News:

Lawyers for a group of South Carolina death row inmates who have run out of appeals argued to the state’s Supreme Court that two of the state’s forms of execution — the old electric chair method and the new firing squad method — are cruel and unusual punishments, although the state claims that “painless” deaths are not mandated.

The lawyers for the four inmates also argued that a 2023 law created to allow lethal injections to restart hides too many details about the new drug and protocol used to kill inmates.

This, as 33 inmates sit on South Carolina’s death row. There has not been a formal moratorium on the death penalty, but the state has not performed an execution in nearly 13 years after the drugs it used for lethal injection expired and companies refused to sell more to prison officials unless they could hide their identities from the public.

South Carolina purports that all three execution methods are consistent with existing protocols, saying “instantaneous or painless” executions are not mandated by law.

“Courts have never held the death has to be instantaneous or painless,” wrote Grayson Lambert, a lawyer for Republican Gov. Henry McMaster’s office.

During a hearing, the justices questioned whether the firing squad should be considered a banned unusual punishment since it has only been used in the U.S. three times in the past 50 years, all of which were carried out in Utah. They also questioned the electric conductivity of the human skull and asked if modern science has found the electric chair to be more painful and cruel than a century ago.

A lawyer for the inmates admitted that if the court bans electrocution and the firing squad, and if the state can show the drugs used for lethal injection are the right potency and purity and the method matches what is used by other states and the federal government, then they do not have a basis to stop an execution.

“I want to make sure it is humane as possible,” attorney John Blume said.

People Really Need to be Told This?

According to the BBC:

US Secretary for Transportation Pete Buttigieg posted on X (formerly Twitter) to say that all current vehicles require the driver to be engaged “at all times”.

However, one driver admitted his video was a prank.

Tesla and Apple have been contacted for comment.

Videos posted online show people in the drivers seats of cars which have an autonomous mode, while wearing the Apple headset over their eyes.

One was reposted by Pete Buttigieg, who wrote: “Reminder – ALL advanced driver assistance systems available today require the human driver to be in control and fully engaged in the driving task at all times.”

Another video, posted on the day the Apple Vision Pro became publicly available, showed a man appearing to get pulled over by the police while wearing the headset in a Tesla.

However, Gizmodo reports that he said it was a “skit” he made with friends, reporting that he “drove with the headset for 30-40 seconds”.

Apple’s user guide warns against using its headset while driving, while Tesla says drivers should always “maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle,” even when it is in autonomous mode.

This is Becoming the Norm

According to the Post Millennial:

On Wednesday, Arizona state Senator Juan Mendez (D) proudly honored Satanists at the state capitol in Phoenix.

Mendez claimed that Satanists are under “arbitrary” and “tyrannical” religious persecution and gave the group glowing praise as he welcomed them to the capitol grounds before a committee hearing.

Nikki Haley gets smoked in Nevada. I think it’s time for her to drop out.

Joe Biden mumbles through a speech supporting the borer bill that seems only to support Ukraine’s border.

And Republicans had a really bad day yesterday.

News

Here is some news:

• Former President Donald Trump wasn’t on the ballot in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary in the early voting state of Nevada.
  • But his absence wasn’t enough to help secure a victory for his last remaining major rival for the 2024 GOP nomination – Nikki Haley.
  • Voters casting ballots in the state-run Republican nominating contest couldn’t write in Trump’s name, but they could vote for a “none of these candidates” option.
• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled the regulations Wednesday morning in a joint announcement with environmental activists, saying limiting particulate matter known as PM2.5 or soot would have health benefits for Americans nationwide. The rulemaking lowers the annual PM2.5 standard from a level of 12 micrograms per cubic meter to a level of 9 micrograms per cubic meter.
  • They also pointed to a May 2023 study conducted by Oxford Economics and commissioned by NAM that concluded more restrictive PM2.5 regulations would threaten between $162.4 and $197.4 billion of economic activity while putting 852,100 to 973,900 current jobs at risk. 
  • The regulations, meanwhile, will make the U.S. PM2.5 standards among the world’s most burdensome. While Australia and Canada have annual standards lower than 9 micrograms per cubic meter, Japan has a standard of 15 micrograms per cubic meter, and the U.K. and European Union both have a standard of 20 micrograms per cubic meter.
  • China and India have annual standards of 35 micrograms per cubic meter or greater.
  • This also does not take into consideration pollution caused outside of the industry like forest fires.
  • This will cause:
    • Supply chain issues.
    • Inflation.
    • Will do nothing for the environment because all the other countries refuse to follow this policy.

Dumbass of the Day

For the Rest of the Year

The first thing Old Joe had to talk about was the country he really loved: Ukraine. He feels the need to send Ukraine another $60 billion to, ironically, protect their borders from Russia. Listen:

Big Losses for Republicans

There is a lot going on that is bad:

• Joe Biden is a disaster.
• Kamala Harris is a moron.
• The border is wide open.
• The Afghanistan pull out was a disaster.
• Hunter Biden is showing the corruption of the bidens.
• We are in two wars.
• Crime is way up.
• Iran is killing our troops.
• China.

But leave it to Republicans to F- everything up. They couldn’t even do something that should have been a slam dunk.

According to the Daily Wire:

On Tuesday, House Republicans failed to muster enough support to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his handling of a border crisis fraught with surging illegal crossings and fentanyl poisonings fueled by drug trafficking.

Three GOP lawmakers broke ranks and joined all voting Democrats to defeat a resolution that could have made Mayorkas the first Cabinet secretary to be impeached since 1876. The defectors included Reps. Ken Buck (R-CO), Tom McClintock (R-CA), and Mike Gallagher (R-WI).

The final tally ended up being 214-216, just short of the simple majority needed for success, as House GOP Vice Chairman Blake Moore (R-UT) flipped to a “no” vote at the last moment. Members said Moore changed his vote to break a tie and give Republicans another chance to bring up the impeachment resolution in the future.

They also threw out a standalone bill to fund the Israelis in their war with Hamas.

According to the Daily Wire:

The GOP-led House failed on Tuesday to pass a bill to approve a $17.6 billion Israel aid package that does not include an offset that was tucked into a similar measure the chamber approved last year.

Fourteen Republicans joined with 166 Democrats in voting against H.R. 7217, which is geared toward helping Israel respond to attacks, while 204 GOP lawmakers and 46 of their colleagues across the aisle supported it. One member, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), missed the vote as he continues to battle cancer.

It was 250-180 but 2/3s were needed for the bill to pass.

There is some good news for Republicans.

According to the Post Millennial:

Beleaguered RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is reportedly intending to step down. Donald Trump, who has been vocal about the need for changes at the RNC, is likely to back Michael Watley, who currently heads the North Carolina GOP.

McDaniel told Trump she was planning to step down in advance of South Carolina’s Republican primary on February 24, The New York Times reports. That contest will see Nikki Haley face off against Trump in her home state. An election will have to be held for the new chair.

All I can say is it’s about time. This gal has been a disaster for Republicans.

This Is How To Do It!

According to the Daily Wire:

Gina Carano filed a lawsuit against Disney on Tuesday, three years after the entertainment giant cut ties with the star actress from its “Star Wars” spinoff show “The Mandalorian” after what it deemed “offensive” social media posts.

Carano announced on X on Tuesday that her lawsuit, filed in the U.S. federal court for the Central District of California, was prompted in part by an offer from Elon Musk. The billionaire entrepreneur said in August of last year that X would fund the legal bill of anyone who was “unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform.” The lawsuit alleges that Carano was wrongfully terminated, losing millions of dollars in income, and seeks to force Lucasfilm to recast her.

She wrote:

“Today is an important day for me–I am filing a lawsuit against @lucasfilm & @Disney,” Carano wrote in her announcement of the lawsuit against Disney. “After my 20 years of building a career from scratch, and during the regime of former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, Lucasfilm made this statement on Twitter, terminating me from The Mandalorian: ‘Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm & there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities are abhorrent & unacceptable.’”

“Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time,” the actress continued. “My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.”

Her post continued:

“The thing is I never even used aggressive language. I shared thought provoking quotes, pictures, memes & occasionally I used my own words, not with aggression but with respect & the occasional comedy to keep the mood light in dark times.”

“Look with your own eyes at what I posted and ask yourself, for example, where did I compare Republicans to the Jewish people in the holocaust? I didn’t. Ask yourself why they were calling me a racist, was there any merit behind that or history of it whatsoever? No. Look at why I was called a transphobe–for making droid noises from Star Wars? ‘Beep, bop, boop’ was obviously directed to the online bullies and did not in any way denigrate transgender people.”

“Were my questions about masks, lockdowns & forced vaccines ok to ask & push the subject into the light? Should we have been allowed to publicly discuss those topics at that time without being harassed or censored? Absolutely.”

“Hollywood says they support female representation & equal rights. Why then were my male co-stars permitted to speak without harassment & re-education courses or termination, but I was not afforded the same right to exercise my freedom of speech.”

“Artists do not sign away our rights as American citizens when we enter into employment. I have spoken to all my co-stars since I was fired & there is nothing but care and kind words between us. I respect their right to free speech & do not have to think the same on every issue to be their friends & work with them & I know they feel the same towards me.”

“A couple months ago @ElonMusk tweeted that if you had been fired from using the platform (X) for exercising your right to free speech, he would like to offer these people legal representation. Quite the noble offer, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought anyone would take on my case against Lucasfilm/Disney. Still, I did respond back ‘I think I qualify’ & thousands of people agreed–but I did not expect anything.”

“To my surprise, a few months ago I received an email from a lawyer who had been hired by X to look into my story & many others. Turns out after sending them as much information as I could gather these past few months, my now lawyers & X believe whole-heartedly in my case & are moving forward.”

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude & thank you to @ElonMusk & @X for giving me an opportunity to bring my case to light.”

“As for me, I would love to pick up where I left off & continue my journey of creating & participating in story-telling, which is my utmost passion & everything I worked so hard for. It has been difficult to move forward with the lies & labels stuck on me, backed & encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world. I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way & look forward to clearing my name.”

“Thank you to all the people who have supported me & made your voices heard. I pray God blesses each & every one of you.”

Elon Mush responded:

Musk responded to Carano’s post, writing, “Please let us know if you would like to join the lawsuit against Disney.”

Good for them. This is what the Left does. We need to take a page from their book.

We Need More of This!

According to Fox News:

A tampon dispenser installed in the boys’ restroom lasted less than a half hour before being ripped out and destroyed at a Connecticut high school.

In order to comply with state law, Brookfield High School installed a menstrual products dispenser in a boys’ restroom at 9:30 a.m. on January 24. The school’s principal, Marc Balanda, reported that by 9:52 a.m. the dispenser had been vandalized and ripped from the wall.

In an email to the school, Balanda wrote that he was “disgusted” and “dismayed” by the act. “I am aware that the law says ‘men’s bathroom’ but the actions today that led to vandalism and destruction of property were the work of immature boys, not men,” he said.

He encouraged any students with issues regarding the tampon dispenser to “ask for more information. Use your words to start a dialogue rather than using your hands to destroy something. In this particular instance, if you have questions, please let me know.”

They Created This

According to Fox News:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reacted to the recent attack on New York police officers by a group of migrants in the Big Apple, calling the acts of violence “heinous.”

New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were patrolling Times Square on Jan. 27, when they encountered the group of migrants. The video shows police asking the men to move along.

The footage then showed the two officers holding a person in a yellow jacket down in an attempt to subdue them. The group of suspects were seen kicking the officers before running away.

Darwin Andres Gomez, 19, Kelvin Servita Arocha, 19, Wilson Juarez, 21, and Yorman Reveron, 24, have been identified as the suspects.

Also arrested for the attack were Jhoan Boada, 22, Jandry Barros, 21, and Yohenry Brito, 24.

The article continues:

Gomez, Arocha, Juarez and Reveron were reportedly charged with assault and released without bail. 

A law enforcement source told the New York Post that the group recently fled to California after giving fake names to a nonprofit group that transports migrants, and that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol have since issued warrants for the men.

Brito remains in jail, while Boada, who is also being sought, and Barros were released without bail.

Why Does Anyone Live in New York?

According to the New York Post:

Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.

The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.

It’ll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall.

The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be kicked out of the program.

The Immediate Response Card initiative appears akin to the state’s food stamp program, dubbed SNAP, which provides lower-income New Yorkers with a credit card to cover the cost of meals, and will provide funds based on the same scale.

The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract.  A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

What Does Elon Think

According to the New York Post:

Elon Musk has wildly claimed the Biden administration is looking the other way as thousands of migrants illegally stream across the border because it wants to stack Democratic voter rolls before Election Day.

The controversial Tesla founder took to his social media site X over the weekend with a “bet-you-didn’t-know” post accusing the White House of the migrant-turned-voter scam as Biden gears up for an expected nail-biter between himself and Donald Trump in November.

“Homeland Security Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas issued written guidance making it clear that: Illegal presence alone is not grounds for deportation,” the tech tycoon wrote.

“Criminal charges, convictions or gang membership alone are not enough for deportation,” he said. “You basically have to be a convicted axe murderer to be deported!

“That’s because every deportation is a lost vote,” Musk added. “They are importing as many votes as possible before the elections.”

Despite Musk’s claims, federal law does not allow noncitizens to vote in national elections — and for the new migrants to become US citizens, it would likely take years.

Noncitizens also are barred from casting ballots in state elections, although some municipalities allow voting at the local level. New York City does not allow noncitizens to vote.

Eric Kuhn, the head of Neighbors, said in the announcement that law enforcement agencies will still be able to make public posts in the Neighbors app. Police and other agencies can also still use the app to “share helpful safety tips, updates, and community events,” Kuhn said.

The update is the latest restriction Ring has made to police activity on the Neighbors app following concerns raised by privacy watchdogs about the company’s relationship with police departments across the country.

Critics have stressed the proliferation of these relationships – and users’ ability to report what they see as suspicious behavior – can change neighborhoods into a place of constant surveillance and lead to more instances of racial profiling.

According to the Daily Mail:

Iconic Australian surf brand Rip Curl has come under fire after featuring a transgender boarder in a campaign to promote women’s surfing. 

Sasha Lowerson, 44, featured on the Rip Curl Women Instagram page on Thursday as part of the company’s Meet The Local Heroes of Western Australia campaign.

It comes just months after Rip Curl dropped former brand ambassador Bethany Hamilton – one of the world’s most famous surfers – reportedly over her opposition to transgender people competing in women’s sport.

Ms Hamilton, who lost her left arm in a 2003 shark attack but returned to professional surfing, threatened to boycott the World Surf League in February last year after a ruling allowing trans athletes to compete in women’s competitions.

Rip Curl is just the latest Aussie brand draw the ire of fans over gender issues, after  Seafolly was slammed last year for working with non-binary influencer Deni Todorovič and Moana Bikini featured a male model in a swimsuit this week.

Ms Lowerson, a professional surfer, first appeared in a Rip Curl social media post in August last year where she detailed how surfing in WA had shaped her life.

Really? No Crime was Broken?

According to NBC News:

The U.S. Capitol Police said Thursday that it’s closing an investigation into a leaked video of people having sex inside a Senate hearing room after it determined there was no evidence of a crime.

“After consulting with federal and local prosecutors, as well as doing a comprehensive investigation and review of possible charges, it was determined that — despite a likely violation of Congressional policy — there is currently no evidence that a crime was committed,” the agency said in a statement.

The police said that while the hearing room wasn’t open to the public at the time, when the video was recorded on the morning of Dec. 13, a congressional staffer involved had access to the room inside the Hart Senate Office Building.

“The two people of interest were not cooperative, nor were the elements of any of the possible crimes met,” the statement said. “The Congressional staffer, who has since resigned from his job, exercised his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and refused to talk to us. Our investigators are willing to review new evidence should any come to light.”

But This is a Hate Crime

According to the Daily Wire:

Michael Cassidy, a 35-year-old Navy veteran, was charged with a hate crime on Tuesday after he admitted to beheading a Satanic statue that was on display in the Iowa State Capitol building last month.

Cassidy, a Christian who lives in Mississippi and previously ran for a congressional seat, was arrested and charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief after beheading the statue. Court documents now say that the damage done to the statue will cost between $750 and $1,500 to repair, and prosecutors allege that Cassidy acted “in violation of individual rights” under Iowa’s hate crime statute, KCCI reported. The documents also note that in light of new evidence, his charge has been upped to third-degree criminal mischief, a class D felony.

“Evidence shows the defendant made statements to law enforcement and the public indicating he destroyed the property because of the victim’s religion,” said Lynn Hicks, a spokesman for the Polk County Attorney’s Office, according to the Des Moines Register.

The Satanic Temple of Iowa had received permission from the state to display a Baphomet statue in the state capitol building, and it was reportedly set up near Nativity displays showcased for the Christmas holiday.

Cassidy said of his “crime”:

“I saw this blasphemous statue and was outraged. My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”

“The world may tell Christians to submissively accept the legitimization of Satan, but none of the founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars inside Capitol buildings as protected by the First Amendment. Anti-Christian values have steadily been mainstreamed more and more in recent decades, and Christians have largely acted like the proverbial frog in the boiling pot of water.”

We Live in a Fantasy World

According to Fox News:

“Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”

Those simple words from Elmo have blown up on social media — and users are not holding back on how they’re really feeling.

The iconic red puppet from Sesame Street took to “X” to see how everyone was handling 2024 so far and the responses attracted by the seemingly innocent tweet were not so innocent.

The various responses ranged from disappointment with the latest football results and the economic crisis to a sharing of brand endorsements and even marital problems.

The wellness check-type tweet turned into a therapy session as thousands of social media users “trauma-dumped” on the character’s “X” page.

“Not feeling too tickled about life rn, Elmo,” one user added to the conversation.

“Elmo, I’m suffering from existential dread over here,” another “X” user commented.

“Elmo I’m gonna be real, I am at my f—ing limit,” one user wrote, garnering over half a million likes on the platform for that comment. 

“Not gonna lie … I’m tired, Elmo. A lot’s going on, Little Red,” another user added.

Another one really laid into him:

Elmo each day the abyss we stare into grows a unique horror. one that was previously unfathomable in nature. our inevitable doom which once accelerated in years, or months, now accelerates in hours, even minutes. however I did have a good grapefruit earlier, thank you for asking

Joe Biden even weighed in:

“I know how hard it is some days to sweep the clouds away and get to sunnier days.

“Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it. Even though it’s hard, you’re never alone.”
