More Great News on the Economy

Joe Biden had a long meeting yesterday with the Democrats giving them the structure of the reconciliation bill. It has been cut down by a lot but has some acceptance by the moderate Democrats. Be aware, Republicans are telling Biden to kick rocks. The bill has been slimmed down to $1.75 trillion dollars and still has not been audited by the CBO. That’s a good thing because a part of bill want to legalize 10 million illegal aliens. That won’t get through the CBO because this is a budget bill.

The full bill was released by Nancy Pelosi on Thursday. It is 2400 pages long. Good news for inflation, the radical Democrats like Sanders and the squad do not support the bill. Chances are this thing isn’t going to pass. I’ll be going through it this weekend.

Be prepared to pay more for toilet paper if you can get it. Kimberly-Clark owns brands like Kleenex, Cottonelle, Huggies diapers, and Scott toilet paper plans to raise their prices for the second time this year. Inflation and the supply chain crisis has made production difficult and the stock has fallen 2%.

Mike Hsu, CEO of Kimberly-Clark, said:

“Our earnings were negatively impacted by significant inflation and supply chain disruptions that increased our costs beyond what we anticipated. We are taking further action, including additional pricing and enhanced cost management, to mitigate these headwinds as it is becoming clear they are not likely to be resolved quickly.”

Bet you thought that whole thing was over. Remember that inflation is a upper class problem? I guess lower and middle class people don’t need toilet paper of diapers.

The supply chain crisis is causing such issues in the United States, companies have decided to get rid of jobs all together. McDonald’s has decided that they are going to automate their drive through, and soon, their restaurants.

CNBC reported:

As part of the deal, IBM will acquire McD Tech Labs, which was formerly known as Apprente before McDonald’s bought the tech company in 2019. McDonald’s didn’t disclose financial terms for either transaction.

The Apprente technology uses AI to understand drive-thru orders. This summer, McDonald’s tested the tech in a handful of Chicago restaurants. Kempczinski said that the test showed “substantial benefits” to customers and employees.

I told you this was going to happen probably two years ago. Companies were either going to be priced out of having employees and go to AI or we are going to have to quit this $15 an hour minimum wage. I never thought companies would be converting to AI because people did not want jobs.

So, there is another problem with 10.4 million jobs not being filled. They’re going to be filled in some way. We have the technology to replace them with machines. I can’t wait to hear the bitching when everyone is looking for a job and can’t find one.

This Is How We Win

This is a broad that is a professor at Rutgers University. She is being interviewed on The Root podcast. This is absolutely an incredible diatribe. In total, it was five minutes. I cut it down a bit but, trust me, I did not take anything out of context. Here’s the first clip:

Some things:

  • First off, let’s take these next four clips and switch black with white and white with black. It’s a rhetorical question.
  • White people are villains in the “aggregate”. That means, as a group, we are all evil. Doesn’t matter what we are as individuals. You’re white, you’re evil. Period.
  • Not only are we oppressively evil, we’re cowards too.
  • Her last point: If you had the power you would do the same thing. All us white people say this. I don’t recall hearing anyone saying this when slavery is the topic.
  • By the way, this is all racist. This broad is saying that people of color are morally superior to white people. All white people. That’s Ku Klux Klan talk.

Here’s the next clip:

Some things:

  • This broad is teaching your kids!
    • Black and brown people were not traveling around the world, discovering other countries.
    • Black and brown people were also enslaving people. Do you think the Spanish and Portuguese were just going to Africa and grabbing people?
    • No. African chiefs and warlords, who were people of color, sold the slaves to the Europeans.
    • By the way, what’s the first thing you think about when I say scalping? Could it be American Indians?
  • According to the Global Slavery Index, there are 9.2 million slaves in Africa today. That’s 7.6 people per 1000.

Here’s the next clip:

Some things:

  • Notice she said how good people of color are?
  • Then she said how morally and religiously bankrupt white people are?
  • Does it sound like she is putting people of color as morally superior to white people?
  • What would happen if a white person said the same thing about people of color?

Finally, last clip:

Some things:

  • “We gotta take these m-f-ers out but we can’t say that”? She did say it. And she means it.
  • She sounds like a KKK member or a Nazi.
  • This is how concentration camps and gulags are started. This is how people are gassed and thrown into an oven.
  •  She does believe in violence to solve this problem.
  • There were no Native American roads or libraries or science labs. The largest Native American cities were built on slavery and human sacrifice (the Aztecs, Incans and Mayans).
  • Their was no cross-cultural exchange. The cultures fought violent wars including against the Europeans.
  • Don’t forget, Europeans and Americans were involved in the death of 90% of the Native Americans, but most of it involved disease not war.
  • 30% of European and American settlers were killed by Native Americans through war. This wasn’t a one side fight.
  • This is just a lie, revisionist history.
  • And, yes, America was founded by the Europeans.

All I have to say is that if I went on this tangent about black people, I would be banned. This dumb broad is teaching at a college where a degree costs $100K a year. Do you think she’s worried about losing her job?

Just Stupid

Let’s Go Brandon

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) wore a “Let’s Go Brandon” mask on the House floor Monday.

We should all know the story behind that little phrase. It came after Brandon Brown won a Nascar race and, during an interview with a reporter, the crowd started yelling “F- Joe Biden!” The reporter was on live television and tried to play it off by saying, “The crowd is yelling ‘Let’s go Brandon'”. Since then it has become a national joke and an Internet Meme. Now people are yelling “Let’s go Brandon” instead of “F- Joe Biden”. I think it’s great. I own two “Let’s go Brandon” t-shirts.

Anyway, this pissed off Democratic Party chairwoman Jody Gaulin. She said:

“Not only does Jeff Duncan not deliver for the people of the third district—I cannot think of a thing he has truly done—he now sports a vulgar slogan on his mask and walks off the floor!”

“The hypocrisy of the Faith and Freedom BBQ is exposed!”

Maybe she would be more understanding Duncan went out and burned down a courthouse.

What’s great about this is that Joe Biden has become a national joke, an Internet meme. The Left knows it and they are getting pissed off about it.

 

Just Sick

Jayne Rivera, from Miami, Florida, a Tik Tok influencer, was lambasted over a bunch of selfies she took. Why would this be a big thing?

She took them in front of her dead father’s coffin.

She pulled the photos after people started tearing her apart.

This is a beautiful example of the differences between the generations. Rivera’s father was a veteran. He fought for our country while his daughter is nothing by a selfish and vain kid. We see a lot of this today.

God, we need a war to bring us together.

 

What Do You Expect from a Pig But a Grunt

Frigging Peta.

I actually like arm barn but it will never take.

I would be more insulted by you sticking me in a bullpen. I mean, baseball is basically calling the relief pitchers and catchers cows. Shouldn’t we change the name, not because it’s insulting to the cows, but because it is insulting to the catchers and pitchers?

Episode 439 – Giving You Da Boot!

Old Joe is doing everything he can to turn the United States into Mexico.

Biden’s poll numbers are crashing.

And let’s read a op-ed piece that really points out what we should be thinking of when the Left says the word, “democracy”.

 

This Can’t Be Just Idiocy

I give up. I can’t see any other reason for this. Joe Biden is giving away America to Mexico. He’s trying to make the United States into Mexico. I can’t think of any other reason why he is doing what he is doing. Right now, thousands of potential illegals are crossing Mexico toward the United States after violently bursting through the police at Mexico’s southern border. There are estimates that 400,000 illegals were caught at the border. I think that is probably really high but It is possible.

And what is Old Joe doing with al these illegal aliens? He’s sending them throughout the country, in some cases, without monitoring or court dates.

Well, he’s decided to do more to alienate Americans, grow the Democratic voting base and make United States into a third world shithole like Mexico.

 

Not Surprised Cause It Worked Too Well

Back in 2019, when 100,000 illegal aliens were crossing the border when Trump was president, Trump negotiated a deal with Mexico and implemented the Migrant Protection Protocols or the Stay in Mexico policy. Essentially, it was used to discourage illegals from Central America to cross the border by forcing them to stay in Mexico while their asylum applications were being processed. It followed international law because Mexico is the first country Central Americans enter which means immigrants are required to apply for asylum in Mexico. It worked because illegal immigration went from over 100,000 per month to less than 30,000 per month, essentially ending the crisis.

Joe Biden, who hates Trump, ended this policy. An appellate court earlier this year, stated that he Biden administration must re-implement the law. Texas was being inundated with illegal aliens. DHS tried to take it to the Supreme Court but they refused to hear it. So DHS complied.

Now, Alejandro Mayorkas said that he was going to get rid of the MPP. He said in a 39-page report:

After carefully considering the arguments, evidence, and perspectives presented by those who support re-implementation of MPP, those who support terminating the program, and those who have argued for continuing MPP in a modified form, I have determined that MPP should be terminated.

In reaching this conclusion, I recognize that MPP likely contributed to reduced migratory flows. But it did so by imposing substantial and unjustifiable human costs on the individuals who were exposed to harm while waiting in Mexico. He wrote, saying the policy “fails to provide the fair process and humanitarian protections that all persons deserve.” 

Because the Biden administration’s attempt to nix MPP was foiled by the courts, DHS is going to try to fight this out in court and the MPP still remains in effect. But they are going to do their best to make sure they make the American citizens and legal migrants in Texas miserable. I was a little surprised by this because Biden was negotiating the re-implementation of the MPP with the Mexican government because the illegal alien crisis was getting so bad and was unsustainable.

Stay tuned.

 

Are You Kidding?

Need more proof that Joe Biden hates Americans? Well, here it is.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments of $450,000 to those who crossed the border illegally and were separated from family members. The people the Biden administration is trying to pay off are ones that sued the U.S. government back in 2018 when Trump was president.

Yes, I see the irony of people breaking our laws by entering illegally and then get money because they came in the country illegally and could have their kids in jail with them.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents families in one of the lawsuits, has identified about 5,500 children separated at the border over the course of the Trump administration, citing figures provided to it by the government. The number of families eligible under the potential settlement is expected to be smaller, the people said, as government officials aren’t sure how many will come forward. Around 940 claims have so far been filed by the families, the people said.

The total potential payout could be $1 billion or more.

To give you an idea of how much money that is, Gold Star families who lost a family member and 9/11 victims only received insurance money of $400,000.

Now, I’ll throw my two cents in here. I think this story is bunk and is probably exaggerated though I believe the ACLU is doing everything that would undermine this country. I think it’s bunk because there was no serious way the government was going to keep this hidden and this would not go well for the elections next year and 2024. I think this was something that was being discussed but will go nowhere in the long run. Even Joe Biden, when asked about it, didn’t know what anyone was talking about.

But there are a couple of things this does show.

  • There are institutions, like the ACLU, that will f-up the United States in any way they can.
  • I am tired of hearing the people, by their very nature of being in this country, have rights. They do not.
  • The Biden administration cares more about the future Democratic voters than he does about people who are busting ass in this country today. He gives them more rights, more benefits, more credibility and, seeing these stories, more money.
  • Remember this: the $1.75 trillion reconciliation plan still have the passage that will allow 10 million illegal aliens t get green cards and, eventually become citizens.

 

Conclusion

The Biden administration is doing this on purpose. Well, whoever is running the Biden administration is doing this on purpose. These people do believe we should become Mexico, people from any other country are better than American citizens and deserve all that the United States has to offer.

Bad News

An NBC News Poll was released this weekend and it looks really bad for Joe Biden. NBC had to admit that these polls showed the greatest drop by a president in their history of taking polls. Even Chuck Todd had no spin when he talked about these numbers. Listen:

Wow, this is bad.

Things that the poll found was that Republicans were far more trusted by the majority of people on the poll. Those topics include:

  • Border Security – R +27
  • Inflation – R +24
  • Crime – R +22
  • National Security – R +21
  • Economy – R +18
  • Getting thing done – R +13

Democrats still have an advantage in:

  • Climate change. No one cares about that.
  • Abortion.
  • The China virus
  • Education. That’s not what people in Virginia.

Joe Biden was rather flippant about the sagging polls:

Biden has a real problem that is going to bleed into the 2022 elections for the Democrats. He has a very weak base. Unlike Obama or Trump, Biden doesn’t have a floor for these polls.  Obama and Trump has very strong bases. They were never going to crash out like Biden is.

This is also going to make his Build Back Better BS not give him a lot of a pump in these polls. A lot of people are not interested in more governmental spending and higher taxes. Though I am not convinced anything is going to get passed, if something does, it’ll be really slimmed down. I also don’t think it is going to have the big-win effect that Dems are hoping for. People just don’t want to spend the money.

This Guy Just Doesn’t Get It

I haven’t done this for a while. Here is an opinion piece by Max Boot from the Washington Post. I think this is an important piece because Boot is doing what the Democrats are doing especially on CNN and MSNBC. They are saying that the reason Democrats are so good because Trump is so bad.

In the piece, Boot is trying to parallel Glenn Youngkin, the Republican gubernatorial candidate for Virginia, with Donald Trump and that’s why Virginians should vote for Terry McAuliffe.

Imagine that you lived in Italy in 1922, Germany in 1933, Spain in 1936, Argentina in 1973, Russia in 2000, Venezuela in 2002, Turkey in 2014 — or any other country on the verge of losing its democracy to strongman rule. What would be the most important issue on your mind? Would it be what’s taught in high schools? Or the fate of democracy itself? 

I just want to point out that the countries he mentions are all socialist countries. The same socialism that Max Boot wants to implement in this country. I won’t even go into what he said at the end until later.

America may soon be in just as precarious a position. We don’t have the luxury of “moving on” from the events of Jan. 6 to focus on ordinary issues as urged by so many Republicans, including Virginia gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin. Democracy is on the ballot in Virginia — and in every other state between now and 2024.

Donald Trump was the first president in U.S. history who refused to accept the outcome of an election and mobilized an army of followers to invade Congress and try to stop the vote certification. Today, he remains unrepentant. The Wall Street Journal just published a letter from him repeating lie after lie about the vote in Pennsylvania.

I’ve got bad news for Boot and the Left: Republicans, moderate Democrats and Independents have moved on from January 6th. Nobody but the Left is paying attention to January 6th. No one is paying attention to the January 6th commission. We’re going to get into the Leftist concept of Democracy in a second.

Yes, Donald Trump has complained about the election results and he’s right about a lot of it. But he has not been president in eleven months. There was a peaceful transfer of power. All those “lies” that the Left keeps talking about are all looking a little less like lies. Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia are all looking a little iffy now as far as election results. The are politicians in Arizona want to decertify the election results (I don’t agree with that) after the their audit report was released in August and Pennsylvania purged 100,000 voters from the voter rolls. Just because the Washington Post isn’t reporting any of this doesn’t mean there aren’t problems with the last election.

Yet far from repudiating Trump as a threat to democracy, the Republican Party is repudiating its few members who dared stand up to him. Rep. Adam Kinzinger’s (R-Ill.) announcement that he won’t seek reelection makes clear there is no room for patriots in today’s GOP. Only Trump toadies are welcome.

Trump is so popular among Republicans that he would win the 2024 nomination in a cakewalk and could conceivably win the electoral vote, too, particularly if Republicans succeed in throwing out the votes of states that do not support him, as they tried to do in January.

Adam Kinzinger is a RINO. One can tell because he’s a rep from Illinois and one doesn’t win from Illinois if one is not a Left leaner. I’m also not sure Trump is running in 2024. He will be 78 and I think the last four years took a lot out of him. But this is what the Left fears.

If Trump does return to the White House, our democracy might be on its deathbed. Early in his first term, Trump was so ignorant of government that he often deferred to the “adults in the room,” e.g., Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly. But the longer Trump stayed in office, the more willing he became to rid himself of anyone who stood in his way. A second Trump term would undoubtedly begin with the installation of cultists at every key agency, including the Defense Department, intelligence community, Justice Department and FBI.

That is a terrifying prospect. Every candidate in the country, from dog catcher to senator, must therefore answer this fundamental question: Do you support or oppose Trump’s efforts to destroy our democracy?

Let’s talk about Democracy. In Max Boot’s democracy, he believes:

  • In killing babies.
  • Forcing people to get vaxxed or lose their jobs.
  • Force people, including children, to wear masks all the time.
  • Want to outlaw certain speech.
  • Want to take away our freedom to own guns.
  • Want to get rid of the police.
  • Want to steal our money through taxes.
  • Want us to stop driving and flying.
  • Want to end property rights.
  • Wants me fired if I think and say that men can’t be women.
  • This we are racist because we are white.
  • Wants to eliminate our borders.
  • Wants to eliminate our military.
  • That’s a small list.

So, yes, I would love it if Trump destroyed Max Boot’s version of democracy. Because Max Boot’s version of democracy takes away all my freedoms and security and seems like tyranny. Just because Max Boot says something is democratic doesn’t make it democratic.

This is a litmus test that Glenn Youngkin, who is running with Trump’s support, has failed. When seeking the GOP nomination, he refused to say whether Joe Biden won legitimately. Only after winning the nomination did he admit that the 2020 election was “certifiably fair,” but he keeps genuflecting to Trumpian concerns about “election integrity” — code words for the big lie. He even donated $1 million of his own money to a political action committee that supports Republican candidates who echo Trump’s bogus claims of fraud.

You can split the difference on taxes or spending. You can’t split the difference on democracy as Youngkin is trying to do.

Trump supports Youngkin but has never campaigned for him. Youngkin doesn’t mention Trump. In fact, Trump supporters still support Youngkin but wish he had gotten Trump involved.

What would happen in 2024 if Trump again screamed fraud and demanded that Republicans appoint pro-Trump electors in states he lost? If Republicans gain control of Virginia’s governorship and House of Delegates this year, and of the state Senate in 2023, they could deliver the state for Trump no matter how it votes. Even if the legislature remains in Democratic hands, a Republican governor could create a constitutional crisis by refusing to sign the “certificate of ascertainment” certifying the results. (Youngkin refused to say in an interview if he would have certified the 2020 election; his campaign later claimed he would have.)

What would happen if Trump again mobilized his fanatical followers to storm the U.S. Capitol? On Jan. 6, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) sent Virginia state troopers and the Virginia National Guard to help save the citadel of democracy. There is no reason to expect that Youngkin would risk Trump’s wrath by acting to stop a future coup attempt.

What if I grew wings and a tail and could fly?

This is what the Left does. They do it with climate change. The United Nation does this with climate change. What if the weather heats up by five degree in 2050? Yeah, that could be bad but what if that doesn’t happen? Always looking for the worst case scenario and basing politics on what could happen.

Trump didn’t mobilize anyone on January 6th. If you don’t believe me, listen to his speech on January 6th.

Youngkin doesn’t like to talk about Trump. He wants Virginia voters to focus on other issues. Sorry, that won’t cut it. Trump is the biggest issue in the country because he remains the de facto leader of the Republican Party and could again be the leader of the whole country. Candidates such as Youngkin who won’t take a clear stance against Trump’s war on democracy are making clear they are on the wrong side of an existential debate.

And if voters are focused on issues other than the fate of our democracy, they aren’t paying attention. It is the height of arrogance to imagine that just because our democracy has survived for more than 230 years, it will last forever. If we take our democracy for granted by electing candidates who are willing to collaborate with authoritarians, we could easily lose our freedom as so many countries have in the past.

No, Trump is not the biggest issue on the minds of voters. The biggest issues are why Louden County hid the rape of a girl by a boy who said he was a girl in a girl’s restroom. McAuliffe’s belief that the school unions, alone, should tell parents who to teach. Why did everyone lie.

It’s about the issues. Trump has nothing to do with it.

Episode 437 – I WANT MY PLAYSTATION!

It’s going to be a tough holiday season and that means the excuses are flying.

Let’s talk about it.

And a little update. Apparently there aren’t only 100 Americans stuck in Afghanistan, there are 439. Hmm. Does it seem that someone was lying about something.

 

It’s a Good Thing?

We are in the middle of the worst inflation in 30 years and we have a product shortage that will be in existence for the next year and a half according to Janet Yellen. Remember what I told…oh…day before yesterday? I told you the media’s new narrative is that inflation and supply shortages are a good thing. I even gave you some titles from the New York Time and Washington Post over the last couple of weeks not only telling us that that we should be happy for this economic mess but we should be appreciative of it because it will make us better humans?

Well, here’s another story from CNN.

CNN commentator, Fareed Zakaria said:

There are some major problems with Zakaria’s arguments:

  • The reason people are leaving the market is not pay. It’s because they are being paid by the government not to work. They get more money being unemployed than by working.
  • If pay was really the issue, we would have seen this before pandemic. We didn’t. There weren’t 10.4 million open jobs.
  • He points to the pay of rich countries. This is an awful argument. The cost of living in these countries is way beyond our country.
    • Those countries he pointed to (Canada, Norway, Japan, UK, Denmark, Germany) have stagnant economies. They do not innovate. They do not create. They just produce.
    • These countries have very high taxes because they are nanny states. Countries like Norway and Denmark are actually trying to scale back on their taxes and nanny state programs.
    • The currency in these countries is weaker.
    • And the cost of living in these countries is very high. You are paying $11 for a Big Mac in Norway and a watermelon costs $65 in Japan.
  • This attack on our capitalism ignores our accomplishments (as usual).
    • We’ve been to the moon.
    • We’ve been to every planet in the solar system. We took the first pictures of Pluto.
    • We invented the television, the phone, the smart phone, the computer, space flight, nuclear fission, the car, the Internet, the production line and let’s not forget baseball just to name a few things.
    • Outside of some really cool cruise ships, what has Norway created?

What this little diatribe is about is excusing the supply chain crisis by demonizing capitalism. It’s all crap.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-just-the-kind-of-chaos-the-american-economy-needs-cnn-praises-u-s-labor-shortage

 

Here’s Another One

Here is an article from vox.com called It’s Time for Americans to Buy Less Stuff by Terry Nguyen. This is the new talking point with the Left. It’s our fault that we want to be able to buy things. Our expectations to be able to consume products is what’s ending the world. I’m not exaggerating. The article starts simple enough:

In September, I started getting pesky emails from brands hinting that I should get a head start on my holiday shopping. Next came the headlines, and then the reminders from social media users dishing out the same advice. Holiday shopping starts a little earlier every year, but this isn’t just the typical push. People are encouraged to order their gifts as soon as possible or risk having packages arrive late, due to rampant supply chain disruptions and mailing delays. Even books (yes, books!) aren’t safe from the impending shortages.

The holiday shopping industrial complex feels especially unavoidable in 2021, with Halloween still more than a week away. Amazon, Macy’s, Target, and Walmart have launched early-bird sales, and retailers are preparing to dish out millions of dollars on ads for strong fourth-quarter sales.

A lot of that is true. Then the opinion piece goes darker:

Early holiday shopping sprees are good news for retail corporations, logistics companies, and the US economy, but bad, ultimately, for millions of workers (manufacturing, retail, logistics, warehouse) and the planet. Instead of opting to order our Christmas presents early, perhaps now is the time to reconsider America’s great shopping addiction.

There we go.

  • The poor workers. That’s what we saw from CNN in the last story.
  • The planet will blow up if I buy that X-Box. You will actually hear this later.
  • American consumers are bad and, because buying stuff is destroying the climate, are evil.
  • Here’s something the article, or the Left in general, ever points out is the worker is also the consumer. They keep thinking only the rich but stuff. Most stuff is not bought by the rich. It’s bought by the worker. So the victim is also the evil ones.

When the stuff we want is so hard to get ahold of, why go to such great lengths to buy it? Consumers have the option to not order items manufactured overseas, to source things locally from small businesses or artisans. We also have a choice that eliminates the potential for shipping or supply chain mishaps: We can just buy less.

We know that our collective consumption of consumer goods, from the creation of plastic toys to the fossil fuels that ship them to our homes, isn’t good for the environment. Yes, on a consumer level, our ability to control resource consumption is minimal, but that doesn’t mean there’s no good in a holiday season where gift exchanges don’t require an Amazon Prime account or transit via multiple shipping containers. Mindfulness has its own benefits, especially for affluent consumers, which includes America’s upper-middle class. The higher-income consumers among us use far more resources than the less well-off and are responsible for influencing shopping norms at large.

This is kind of pathetic. This is a usual attack by the Left. Rich versus poor.

  • “Why buy it?” How about because it’s a good product and it will make life better.
  • I actually agree with the statement not to order things produced over seas. The problem is that so much is created over seas including American products. That’s something a great American economy could handle if we didn’t overpay workers here.
  • The environment thing is really annoying. Most Americans don’t even think it’s an issue.
  • China produces twice the amount of CO2 that the United States produces yet that’s never brought up by Leftists. It’s always Americans that are destroying the world. Is it any wonder we don’t listen to people like Greta Thunberg?

Meanwhile, the growing severity of climate disasters threatens to impact how we produce, source, and ship these goods, raw materials, and the food we eat. Product shortages and delays, it seems, are the new normal. At the end of this logistic maze is the shopper, whose buying tendencies are cultivated and incentivized from a young age. The entire consumer enterprise could be summed up in one Ariana Grande lyric: “I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.”

If these supply chain problems are expected to persist, however, we must be prepared to curb our shopping habits. Conscious or decreased consumption might not move the needle much on climate change or improve the exploitative working conditions faced by those who produce and ship our goods, but that doesn’t mean we have to be trapped in a cycle of thoughtless buying. The alternative isn’t a moral neutral. Must we continue to drown in our unlimited and unfettered need for more stuff, or could we start buying less?

Some things:

  • Again nothing about China.
  • Finally, he mentions that it is not only luxuries that are impacted by the supply chain crisis. It’s also necessities. Are we suppose to go without buying that?
  • Ariana Grande is a product of the Left. She promotes free life without any moral boundaries including buying stuff and sex. Her demonization shows the hypocrisy of the Left.
  • Thoughtless buying? Here’s what the Left is trying to get us to quit:
    • Cars.
    • Toilet paper.
    • Paper towels.
    • Beef.
    • Chicken.
  •  The Left wants us to be a third world country.

Finally:

Reducing one’s carbon footprint requires more frugal sacrifices than buying less stuff (such as flying less, eating less meat, using more public transportation), but it’s a good place to start. This holiday season offers a bizarre, supply-chain-induced opportunity to change our shopping habits, to give more thoughtfully, to buy more locally and less overall. Most households are hard-wired to splurge on end-of-year gifts, and it’s unlikely people will ever stop even if the crisis worsens. The supply chain issues can, though, lead us to buy more conscientiously.

The mission to buy less with more intention is achievable for everyone, especially affluent shoppers. It’s incumbent on Americans, the wealthiest people in the world, to cut back on and be critical of their consumption. Plus, if you haven’t ordered that Xbox Series X for the lucky gamer in your life, you might already be out of luck.

How about this: No. Until the real carbon producers are called out, I don’t want to hear about the blame of American producers.

Happy Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is going to suck if your cooking. I’m sure the Left is thrilled about this because Thanksgiving is a white supremacist celebration of of the genocide of indigenous people.

A recent New York Times report found that “Thanksgiving 2021 is shaping up to be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday.”

A recent October U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics report revealed:

For the year ended September 2021, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 5.4 percent. Over that period, prices for food at home increased 4.5 percent, driven by a 10.5-percent increase in prices for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Prices for food away from home increased 4.7 percent.

So what goes into this:

  • Aluminum prices are at a high not seen in 10 years.
  • Baked goods are up 2.7%.
  • Vegetables and fruits are up 3%.
  • Non-alcoholic beverages are up 3.7%.
  • Turkey production is down 1.4% so be prepared to pay more and have shortages.

The New York Times reported:

Packaged dinner rolls will be pricier because the cost of almost all of the ingredients that commercial bakers use has gone up. Canned cranberry sauce will cost more because domestic steel plants have yet to catch up after pandemic shutdowns, and China is limiting steel production to reduce carbon emissions. As a result, steel prices have remained more than 200 percent higher than they were before the pandemic.

I love that the New York Times is claiming that China is lowering their output of cans because of the environment. That’s just crap. It’s the supply chain problem cause by Joe Biden.

The New York Times did something, I believe, by accident. It also contradicts the Vox article I just read. It is not just luxuries that are becoming hard to get (though communists do think food is a luxury such as China, Venezuela and Cuba). It is also the necessities that are becoming hard to get.

Episode 436 – My Promise to You

So why did Barrack Obama say what he said at Terry McAuliffe’s campaign rally in Virginia?

Will there be an investigation into this?

And I’m going to take a pot shot at the miserable people in our society. I promise you right now, I will never be like this.

 

Is This Guy Kidding?

Barack Obama decided to give Terry McAuliffe a boost in his contentious governor race. Obama did what he usually does when people don’t agree with him. He ripped them. Listen:

I am going to give Obama a bit of a break. Well, no, I’m just going to tear him up as a lying, out-of-touch communist. There are two problems here.

  • He doesn’t know what’s going on in Louden County, Virginia, which is why McAuliffe is in trouble or…
  • He doesn’t care and he wants you not to believe your lying eyes.

 

What Happened in Louden County?

Here’s the story that has caused the entire conflict within the school system in Virginia that has gotten Terry McAuliffe in hot water. Mind you, this is the guy that says parents should have nothing to do with their children’s education. He actually said this in a debate.

Here’s the story:

  • The Louden County school board allowed boys who said they were girls to use the girl’s restrooms. This was temporary until the school board held the needed debate and then vote.
  • A girl was sexually assaulted in the girl’s bathroom by a boy who called himself gender fluid. I normally wouldn’t talk about the actual crime but the brutality of it might make you understand why I didn’t talk about.
    • He attacked her.
    • He sodomized her.
    • He forced her to perform oral sex on him.
    • This is the very definition of rape. Both were 14.
  • The father of the girl was called to the school and they said they were going to handle it internally. He got upset and the police were called and he was arrested.
  • The police were notified. A rape kit showed the rape happened.
  • The boy was transferred to another school within the Louden County school district.
  • The father shows up at a school board meeting telling his story and a woman said he was lying. The head of the board said it wasn’t true. Voices got raised and the police were called.
  • The father got arrested…again.
  • The federal school board sends a letter to the Department of Justice.
  • The Department of Justice releases a statement saying they won’t treat parents at school board meeting acting like domestic terrorists.
  • The boy accused of rape commits a second sexual assault and is arrested.
  • The Daily Wire finds out that the rapes were not reported as required by law. It turns out multiple sexual assaults were withheld by the schools.
  • The board issued an apology and two members resigned.
  • The national school board association retracted their letter to the DOJ and apologized.
  • Merrick Garland of the DOJ admitted that the only reason he sent out that order was because of this letter.
  • The father and the family have started a multi-million law suit against the Louden County School Board.
  • The boy was indicted on two counts on two counts of non-consensual sex (which is rape).

That’s why Terry McAuliffe might lose the governorship to a Republican in a blue state. That is what Barrack Obama is calling “phony culture wars”.

 

On the Culture War…

The Left has been bitching about a stand up comedy routine for over a month about some things he said in an hour long routine about how men can’t be women. Does that sound like part of the Culture War?

Yes. There are dozens more happening today. Everything from gay marriage to using the right pronouns is part of the Culture Wars. And it’s always started by the Left.

Why does Barrack want us to ignore this now? Because they lose the battle.

Mind you, this is a guy who made disagreement racist when he was President. When people didn’t agree with his Obamacare Program, it was because they were racists. He did that his entire presidency.

 

Will There Be An Investigation Into This?

The January 6th Commission has been going on for a month. They are now threatening Trump administration officials for not testifying. Steve Bannon ignored subpoenas by Congress over who he talked to on January 6th and who the President talked to on January 6th.

Normally, a person within the President’s cabinet or an advisor can be declared immune from subpoenas through Presidential privilege. That privilege is carried through to the next administrations normally though it is not part of the law. It’s just considered courteous.

Guess what? Biden won’t do it and he said this week that the Department of Justice is independent. They will make the decision what to do. Bet you didn’t see that coming.

I wasn’t going to bring this up but then Pramila Jayapal, who is one who is becoming a major member of the squad, made a little speech this weekend. Here it is:

Here’s my question: What about the other riots that are causing tons of damage in other parts of the country? What about investigating the Democratic leadership that is preventing the police from breaking up these riots that are causing millions in damage? I’m not talking about last year’s riots though should have been investigating. I’m talking about riots that are occurring now, not by white supremacists, but far Left anarchist groups.

In Portland, celebrating the death of an activist, decided to run around the city causing half a million in damage.

According to the Oregonian:

A group of about 100 demonstrators broke windows and left graffiti scrawled on downtown Portland buildings Tuesday night at the end of a gathering commemorating the anniversary of a local activist’s death. Police eventually declared the event an unlawful assembly, according to social media posts from the demonstration, after some people lit fires in the street and set off fireworks.

No arrests have been made and investigations are underway. The damage is believed to be over $500,000, and 35 separate locations were targeted, including banks, retail stores, coffee shops, and government buildings, according to police, who referred to the demonstrators as ‘anarchists.’

Do you expect any investigations into that? There were government buildings damaged which is what the Left likes to talk about with January 6th.

How about this, from Portland’s KOIN:

“Lt. Jake Jensen with the Portland Police Bureau joined the Pearl District Neighborhood Association meeting Thursday night on the heels of widespread vandalism in the area. Jensen said House Bill 2928 is the reason officers aren’t directly intervening as vandals damage downtown Portland property.”

“The reason that we did not intervene goes back to what we talked about last month with HB 2928 and the restrictions placed on us in a crowd control environment,” Jenson told the meeting. “That’s the way our legislature has said we need to operate in a crowd control environment. So that’s the way we are going to operate in a crowd control environment.”

What about that? Is that worth investigating especially since it led to criminals not being arrested destroying private and public property? How serious can one take this January 6th Commission?

Cowardice or Apathy

I have two shirts I wear all the time. A Free America shirt and an anti Che Guevara shirt. With the Free America shirt, I am complimented all the time. But some people ask me what it means. I tell them it means free America from tyranny and socialism. They say I’m nuts and then I point out the mask they have on their face and they walk away. That has happened twice.

The Che Guevara shirt has only gotten one negative response (which is encouraging). Kid, maybe 20, told me that Che was a great man. I said he was a genocidal coward who caused the death of tens of thousands of Cubans and he should not say that to a Cuban. He didn’t argue with me. He just rolled his eyes and walked away. Not surprisingly, he had tattoos, gauges in his ears and blue hair.

Why do I tell you this? Because tis is my attempt to rebel against society. And I am the rebel. Socialism, perversion and tyranny has become mainstream. I’m the rebel, the hippie now. We are.

Why am I telling you this? It takes bravery to do this. I don’t know how people are going to react to such a politically charged garment. I have empathy. I care for this country. I care for the people in this country, even the ones that are too stupid to know how great this country is.

One thing I have never been afraid of is fighting. Especially when I see injustice or someone being harmed.

A man named Fiston Ngoy was arrested on a train in Philadelphia for raping a woman. He was from Senegal, here on an expired student visa. He has been arrested before for sexual assault and other crimes but wasn’t deported. He was with the woman for 40 minutes and was harassing her. He then started ripping her clothes off and started raping her.

There were more than 15 people on the train at the time. Most were filming it instead of stopping this piece of crap.

The question I have is why did this happen? Are we, as a nation, apathetic or afraid to stand up for what is right?

I don’t know.

Smart phones have definitely affected us. When we see terrible things through a screen, I can’t believe that it doesn’t become fiction, like a movie.

Episode 435 – At Least He’ll Be Protected

What’s good for Joe Biden isn’t needed by you.

A quick Afghanistan update.

And Janet Yellen just blows up another Biden narrative when it comes to inflation.

 

 

At Least Someone is Protected

According to USASpending.gov, $456,548 was contracted to a company called Turnstone Holdings LLC to build a security fence around the address of “32 FARVIEW, REHOBOTH DELAWARE”. The contract started on September 21 and is expected to be completed on December 31.

The contract was signed by the Department of Homeland Security on behalf of the Secret Service.

Any questions who it’s for? Yep, this is a security fence for Joe Biden’s Delaware beach house. Why a politician who has been in office for over 50 years, a public servant, owns a beach house. The New York Post couldn’t get anymore information because of security concerns.

What’s really ironic considering there is hundreds of millions of dollars of fencing that was purchased through the Trump administration trying to build a wall on the southern border was cancelled by Joe Biden. Wasted money that could have been used. Maybe even halt the illegal alien crisis. But, at least, our better, the elite, he’ll be safe. We don’t need police or walls or fences or anything like that. We don’t matter. We are just widgets to be used by the government.

By the way, it’s the end of October and we have already passed the record for the number of illegal aliens captured at the border. After the numbers came out last month, 194,000 more illegal aliens crossed the border bringing the total to 1.7 million captured this year.

I’m going to do a little math with the minimum average of 190,000 for October, November and December (realize that it is expected we might have up to 400,000 this month). By the end of the year, we are looking at 2.3 million illegal aliens caught at the border this year. That doesn’t include those that made it without getting caught.

But none of this will affect the elite, so don’t worry. Joe Biden has a half million dollar fence at his beach house.

Afghanistan Update

This is something I have said that we cannot forget and I am scouring the Internet to find news out of Afghanistan. I found this one on the New York Post and, I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. One thing I have learned is that terrorists like the Taliban and al Qaeda are like fifteen year old girls when it comes to social media. When they torture a dog or behead a woman, they typically post a picture it on social media.

That’s what happened in Afghanistan.

According to the New York Post:

An Afghan volleyball player on the girls’ national team was beheaded by the Taliban — with gruesome photos of her severed head posted on social media, according to her coach.

Mahjabin Hakimi, one of the best players in the Kabul Municipality Volleyball Club, was slaughtered in the capital city of Kabul as troops searched for female sports players, her coach told the Persian Independent.

She was killed earlier this month, but her death remained mostly hidden because her family had been threatened not to talk, claimed the coach, using a pseudonym, Suraya Afzali, due to safety fears.

Images of Hakimi’s severed neck were published on Afghan social media, according to the paper, which did not say how old she was.

So this young girl, she doesn’t look more than 16 years old, was killed because she was a female athlete. Apparently, the Taliban doesn’t like girls who play sports and they are hunting them down. Families are burning their sports equipment as the Taliban continues to go house to house, searching for dissidents. All this is going to get worse. We’re going to see more as time goes by.

All this because Joe Biden’s miserable pullout. 19 million women are under threat from these barbarians.

What’s ironic is that we get this story after he released his gender strategy policy this weekend.

According to a release by the White House:

President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that advancing gender equity and equality is fundamental to every individual’s economic security, safety, health, and ability to exercise their most basic rights.  It is also essential to economic growth and development, democracy and political stability, and the security of nations across the globe.  Ensuring that all people, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to realize their full potential is, therefore, both a moral and strategic imperative.

Yet no country in the world has achieved gender equality—and we are at an inflection point.  The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled a health crisis, an economic crisis, and a caregiving crisis that have magnified the challenges that women and girls, especially women and girls of color, have long faced.  It has also exacerbated a “shadow pandemic” of gender-based violence in the United States and around the world.  These overlapping crises have underscored that, for far too long, the status quo has left too many behind.

Things that it will address include:

  • economic security
  • gender-based violence
  • health
  • education
  • justice and immigration
  • human rights and equality under the law
  • security and humanitarian relief
  • climate change
  • science and technology
  • democracy, participation, and leadership

This is going to take an intersectional approach which means the strategy will be designed more for some than for other including trans women.

I bet the 19 million women in Afghanistan are going to be thrilled with this new strategy.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/10/22/fact-sheet-national-strategy-on-gender-equity-and-equality/

 

Ugh, Janet Yellen

Jen Psaki is going to have a tough press conference today. That’s because Janet Yellen went on CNN and basically blew out the White House’s narrative on inflation. She was on the Jake Tapper show and this is what she said about inflation and what we have to expect:

Some things:

  • Monthly rates of inflation have not fallen. We have been averaging 5.4% of inflation a month. It went down in September to 4.8% but one month is not a trend. We were at 5.4% last month.
  • Yellen blew the Biden administration out of the water. This entire time, they have been saying that inflation is transitory and will probably end by the end of the year or the first quarter of next year.
  • She’s saying that’s not going to happen.

But this is the part that bothers me a lot. Here she’s talking about taxing unrealized gains and this is huge:

The Democrats have always wanted the rich to pay their fair share of their wealth. When you hear that the wealthy don’t pay their fair share, that’s what they’re talking about. The wealthy already pay the fair share of taxes through their income. 

Most CEOs around the country take minimal salary. They get their value through stocks and bonds which they sell later. This is stuff that have unrealized value. Your house and car have unrealized value. If you don’t sell you car, house, stocks and bonds there is no cash. It’s all unrealized wealth. The idea here is that the rich are going to have to sell their stocks to have the cash to pay their taxes. Of course, there are ways around this.

Yellen says that this is not a wealth tax. It absolutely is a wealth tax. Your taxing someone’s supposed value, not their income. A lot of people are worth a lot more on paper than what they have in the bank. The reason they don’t want to call this a wealth tax is because it’s probably unconstitutional. Don’t forget, there is an amendment in the Constitution that allowed the government to use an income tax (of course, it was suppose to be temporary). It also states that the government cannot double tax a person. Not only is the government taxing my income now they’re taxing the property I bought with the income I made. So expect this to end up in the Supreme Court.

Finally, the biggest bullshit lie by Yellen is this is going to apply only to those making a billion dollars. That’s a lie. Always apply the Give a Mouse a Cookie Principle. That $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill cannot be paid only by the rich. There isn’t that much money in the country. Do you want more evidence? Why does the government want the IRS to monitor bank accounts of $600 or more? That’s about 95% of the bank accounts out there. Could it be they are planning something over there?

We are heading to some dark times in this country if the elites get their way. I hope Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin will hold their ground.

Episode 434 – Bull Market, Bear Market and Gorilla Market?

The State Department shows they have their priorities straight.

Trans-feminism is becoming the new patriarchy.

And I can’t believe Harambe is still a thing. Bet you don’t remember who he is.

But first, Joe Biden did a town hall on CNN yesterday. I didn’t see it but but here is a quick supercut from the Benny show. It pretty much sums it up:

 

The Biden Town Hall

What a weird town hall. One statement Biden made was about vaccine mandates. It was very telling and I’m not sure it was taken well. I will have to see what Jenn says today because you know Peter Doocy is going to ask about it:

Some things:

  • The mandates aren’t working. People are leaving. That 97% thing he talks about is because people are leaving. Chicago is a prime example.
  • Corporations like Southwest airlines are cancelling their vaccine mandates because they have to cancel too many flights. Corporations are not cooperating because, it turns out, they have to run a business and there are other jobs out there.
  • We are also finding out that the vaccine isn’t that effective.
    • Does not prevent COVID.
    • Does not prevent the spread of COVID.
    • After six months, the vaccine wanes to the point of being ineffective.
    • Does not take into account T-cells and B-cells which are memory cells.
  • But the most disturbing is an American President dismissing the freedoms Americans have that are guaranteed by the Constitution.

Yeah, that freedom thing, what a pain in the ass. But that’s all I have to say about that.

 

Is This Really What They Should Be Concerned About?

Let’s see:

  • We have Americans stuck in Afghanistan because of the failed exit.
    • Taliban is executing people.
    • They have al Qaeda in their government.
    • The suppression of women has commenced.
    • And we are giving them money while they negotiate with Pakistan, Iran and China.
  • Taiwan is being threatened by China.
  • China has already taken over Hong Kong.
  • China has fired a nuclear-capable, hypersonic missile that we do not have the capability to detect.
  • And Iran is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon if they already don’t have one.

All this falls under the watch of the State Department. All of which has still gone unaddressed. They have bigger things t worry about. Like how to celebrate National Pronouns Day during LGBTQ+ month. They released the following tweet:

Now, you ight be saying to yourself, “Didn’t we just have an LGBTQ+ celebration month?” The answer would be, “Yes, back in June.” Soon, we will have six months a year celebrating LGBTQ+ pride.

In a statement, the State Department said:

In the United States, it’s becoming increasingly common for people to “share their pronouns.”

Third-person personal pronouns are used to describe a person or people, in American English grammar, as the subject, as the object or in the possessive.

These pronouns include the gender-neutral they/them/theirs — words that traditionally refer to a plural number but that today are used by some individuals who identify as gender nonbinary or who prefer not to share gender information. Other pronouns include the feminine she/her/hers and the masculine he/him/his. Some people are pioneering gender-neutral pronouns such as ze/zir/zirs.

Many Americans are including their pronouns on social media profiles or name tags or as part of email signatures. They state them in meetings, whether online or in person, and at other venues.

Boy, they sure have their priorities straight.

I’m sorry. I think the English language is pretty good and I refuse to change it. I’ll probably end up in prison for it soon.

 

Feminism Forwarding the Patriarchy

But it gets better.

On Tuesday it was announced the Dr. Rachel Levine will become the first female four star admiral of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). There are just a few problems with this whole thing:

  • She’s never been in the military.
  • She’s never even been a Director for Health and Human Services.
  • And she’s a he.

Levine said after being sworn in:

I am honored to serve as the first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the first openly transgender four-star officer to serve across any of the eight uniformed services.

Do you trust this guy with medical decisions when he is so anti-scientific as to think he’s a woman?

He continued:

This is a momentous occasion. And I am honored to take this role, for the impact that I can make and for the historic nature of what it symbolizes.

I stand on the shoulders of those LGBTQ+ individuals who came before me, both those known and unknown. May this appointment today be the first of many more to come, as we create a diverse and more inclusive future.

Diversity makes us stronger. Each person has a different perspective and different strengths that they bring to make the whole community stronger. The time is now for our country to continue to move the bar forward for diversity. And I am proud to wear this uniform and answer that call.

A few things here:

  • This was diversity thing. He said so much during his speech.
  • He did not get this because he earned it. He never even held any office that qualified him for this.
  • He said he will always wear this uniform. What an insult to people who are real military and earned that uniform.

But I think the biggest insult is to women. He’s the first female four star admiral? This is the new patriarchy. This is the new sexism. The best woman for a job is a man. How does any feminist not insulted and angry by this?

Is Harambe a Thing Still?

Image

An enormous statue of Harambe appeared in front of Wall Street’s famous Charging Bull statue on Monday.

The seven-foot-tall bronze monument commemorating the deceased gorilla — who was shot dead by Cincinnati Zoo workers on May 28, 2016, after a three-year-old child fell into his exhibit — was reportedly erected by a social media company.

According to NBC News:

The giant gorilla was placed in Bowling Green Park, directly across from the famous Charging Bull statue, which was surrounded by 10,000 bananas (that will later be donated to local food banks and community fridges) to make a point about wealth disparity.

The organizers, founders of Sapien.Network, an in-development social networking platform “dedicated to putting the needs and welfare of human beings first” said they put up the display to show that Wall Street has become “bananas” — wholly out of touch with the needs of everyday people.

Sapien.Network co-founder Robert Giometti told NBC:

“It’s not about rejecting capitalism or the current system. It’s about revolving them into the current future and letting them empower more groups of people. That’s the whole point of this story.”

OK, some things:

  • I can’t believe this is a thing.
  • Harambe is so 2017. I bet no one even no what it is.
  • This is attacking capitalism. This company, started through capitalism, is pushing intersectionality (which is also so 2017).
  • Intersectionality hates capitalism.
  • The bull only represents a type of market in the stock market. There is also a bear market which we are beginning to move into now. That shows that the market is cyclic. People how trade don’t always make money. In fact, they lose money most of the time. So what is the market: risk.
  • People who don’t risk always lose. But they’re jealous of the few that succeed.
  • And they don’t talk about the jobs that are created by the money invested through the stock market into businesses. There’s a reason the stock market is important to the economy.
  • The symbolism just doesn’t make any sense. What does a monkey symbolize? What do the bananas symbolize?
  • Finally, this Sapian.Network, is they ever get big (they won’t), will go public and put themselves on the stock market to raise capital, to hire more people and innovate new products and services.

Maybe They Should Have Had a Transgender on the Team

The Chicago Sky won the WNBA championship a couple of weeks ago. I know, I know, you didn’t know it was WNBA season. I didn’t know either. Neither did anyone in Chicago.

The team had a parade made up of two double-decker buses filled with players and their lesbian lovers. The parade was made up of, I kid you not, six fans sitting on the street. It was embarrassing. Watch:

Some things:

  • The WNBA is a failure.
    • No one watches it.
    • They all play the same offenses and defenses.
    • It is a huge big deal when someone dunks once a month.
    • They’re slow and less athletic than the men.
    • The NBA has been financing the WNBA for years. Yet the women make $40,000 a year. That’s because it makes no money.
  • It will never be a thing. A game you saw 10 years ago will look like the game you see today. It’s boring.
  • A high school men’s basketball team could beat a WNBA team. That’s why people don’t want to watch it.
  • But ESPN keeps pushing the WNBA anyway. It’s not working.

Why do I bring this up? Because it annoys the hell out of me that the American’s women’s soccer team demands equal pay as the men’s team when no one watches their games because the games are boring. But they continue to bitch and moan about not being the same as the men, especially that Megan Rapinoe.

Need more evidence that female sports suck? I’ve got something.

The Canadian Women’s National Hockey, which is preparing for the Olympics and is a favorite, just lost its third straight game against a men’s junior A hockey. They lost 8-0.

I have no issue with women’s sports. I watch women’s hockey and I used to watch women’s soccer. I watch baseball and softball. I never watched any basketball. I just hate basketball. But don’t tell me the quality of the sports are the same. They’re not.

Episode 433 – Double-Double with Cheese Please

It’s Psaki time. She’s entertaining but can’t stop Biden’s plummeting poll numbers.

Riots are erupting again on the west coast but we still are talking about January 6th.

And could we be seeing an end to the hamburger.

 

It’s Psaki Time

I need to start listening to Jen Psaki’s press conferences more often. The questions are getting harder, from unexpected sources and, I expect, she’s going to lose her crap soon and I cannot wait to see it. With all that spin she does, it’s hard to believe she’s not getting dizzy.

Let’s take a look at some things she said yesterday.

 

Caught in Another Lie

This is a big shock for a lot of the media because they have not been paying attention (or have been hiding it) but the border crisis hasn’t been good and is very unpopular with the people. We know that most people at the border have been sent into the United States interior. But that was mostly rumor.

Not anymore. We have just found out that the Biden administration has been flying people to New York and Florida in the middle of the night without telling any of the governors of those states. Ron Desantis must have had an idea because he is suing the administration, along with a host of other states, to keep illegal aliens out of their states.

Of course, Fox News’ hero, Peter Doocy, had some questions about the lie that was being told about shipping illegals into the interior:

Some things here:

  • 4:40 AM is the middle of the night. The point is the administration is hiding the transporting of illegal aliens including unaccompanied minors.
  • Her sarcasm and innuendo that Peter Doocy doesn’t like to be inconvenienced by flying early is insulting and a real turn off.
  • The United States only has a legal obligation to send these people back to their own country. We do not have a legal responsibility to ship them into this country.
  • If we can fly these illegal aliens to New York and Florida, we can fly them back to where they came from.
  • She keeps beating on children. It’s not just children. There are far more adults being sent to the interior of the United States. She’s deflecting the question.

 

The Supply Chain

She got another question from a regular legacy reporter. Sorry, Jenn, these guys need to show some legitimacy and they are going to call you out.

Here, the reporter is stating that we knew there were going to be supply chain problems in March of last year. Why wasn’t this dealt with when Biden was elected? Her glib answer really pisses me off because it minimizes the expectations of Americans. Listen:

Some things:

  • Her oversimplification of this question is disgusting. It’s dismissive.
  • I have been reading about this new trend from the legacy media: We, Americans, need to curb our expectations. We don’t deserve to expect things to work well all the time.
    • WaPo Opinion article: Don’t rant about short-staffed stores and supply chain woes. This article says we should lower our expectations.
    • Another WaPo article where the title says it all: Why does the world need so many cars anyway?
    • We also see this with the war on meat.
  • Here’s the thing: If I want a treadmill, I expect to see that treadmill within a specific period of time. I don’t give an f- what the Biden administration thinks.
  • By the way, grocery stores are reporting they are having trouble getting products on the shelves, this per the CEO of Albertsons.

Ok, let’s get something really clear.

  • Capitalism encourages competition in business. Socialism does not.
  • Competition is human nature. That’s why sports are so popular especially violent sports.
  • When two businesses are competing for the consumer, they innovate to make their product or service more attractive.
  • If Business A creates a better product or service, Business B better innovate something better or they go under.
  • In time, this innovation creates better products and services.
  • Consumers expectations must be met or, better, go beyond expectations.
  • That’s what makes capitalism great.
  • By the way, yes, some big business wants to corner the market.

Capitalism is all about innovation and exceeding expectations of the consumer. You see it in every commercial. Socialism, on the contrary, does not have consumers. They have no competition. The government controls everything. Therefore, they have no innovation.

This is what makes China’s economy so weak. Their GDP never gets over 1.4% and they always have resource shortages. This is why they need to steal technology. They depend on America because we have the consumers they need. This is what destroyed the Soviet Union.

Donald Trump had it right. His tariffs had a major impact on China because innovation and consumers were impacted. Nike and Apple lost business. Harley Davidson moved their factories back to the United States. If Trump had won four more year, China would have been decimated or close to it. They were already suffering through a recession. Then Joe Biden came in, removed all the tariffs and China’s economy improved.

So, Jenn, yes. If I order a treadmill, I want it on time, inexpensive and I want it to be so awesome it’ll read me bedtime stories. My expectations are going to be high and every American should have high expectations.

Finally, one more statement:

This is just a lie. They must know it’s a lie because they don’t bring this up anymore and the press keeps asking how the Biden administration comes up with this. Now, she’s just pointing out that the press should figure it out. Problem is math. No one can figure it out.

This is not boding well for the Biden approval ratings. Today, Biden’s numbers dropped again. What should be very concerning to them is that they dropped 10 points with Democrats when asked if things are going in the right direction in the country.

2022 couldn’t come fast enough.

In an effort to become the worst city in American with the lowest standard of living, San Francisco has decided to attack In and Out Burgers. If you don’t know what In and Out is because you live on the east coast, it is the most popular burger joint on the west coast.

According to Fox News:

The San Francisco Department of Public Health closed the Fisherman’s Wharf In-N-Out location on Oct. 14 after the popular burger joint did not check the vaccination status of customers, which violates an August mandate from the city requiring indoor diners to show proof of vaccination. 

In-N-Out, which operates 358 locations across the western United States, is owned by devout Christian Lynsi Snyder and is well known for including Bible verses at the bottom of soda and milkshake cups.

In-N-Out Burger’s Chief Legal and Business Officer, Arnie Wensinger said in a statement to Fox News:

”Our store properly and clearly posted signage to communicate local vaccination requirements. After closing our restaurant, local regulators informed us that our restaurant Associates must actively intervene by demanding proof of vaccination and photo identification from every Customer, then act as enforcement personnel by barring entry for any Customers without the proper documentation.” 

“‘We refuse to become the vaccination police for any government.

In a released statement, In and Out said:

“We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers who choose to patronize their business. This is clear governmental overreach and is intrusive, improper, and offensive.”

Do you see a pattern? We should lower our expectations. Why do we need all these cars? Who needs there treadmill here on time? We already see articles about the evils of beef. I’m pretty sure we will see articles in the L.A. Times about the benefits of not having hamburgers.

Notice that the “party of democracy” seems to want to take away all the things we like including our freedoms. Well, good for In and Out for saying, “No”.

Episode 432 – The Left Isn’t Happy

The commission that Joe Biden gathered together to analyze packing the court has released a draft of their report.

The Afghanistan debacle is not being investigated…sort of.

And New York City’s Bill de Blasio helps to prove Donald Trump was right.

 

The Report is Out

Some months ago, Joe Biden set up a commission to analyze whether or not it would be legal and feasible to make changes to the Supreme Court including packing the court. A draft was released and published by the White House.

It found that it would be legal for the government to expand the court:

The risks of Court expansion are considerable, including that it could undermine the very goal of some of its proponents of restoring the Court’s legitimacy.

This was a bipartisan commission and there were some who thought it might be a good idea to expand the court.

The report added:

We have not sought to determine whether any particular perspective on the confirmation process or on the Court’s composition today is ‘correct,’ any lawmaker contemplating Supreme Court reform should be aware that the pursuit of immediate Court expansion would involve taking a position in a partisan contest in which opinion is deeply divided.

The report said that a more diverse court might be a good thing. It said:

Decisions by a more diverse judiciary might be more informed. More generally, a Court that was drawn from a broader cross-section of society might be viewed as more acceptable to the public.

This makes sense. Remember, you don’t have a lot of people from the Midwest on the Supreme Court. A lot of people on the court are from the East Coast. There are people who are experts at Constitutional law who didn’t go to Harvard, Columbia or Yale. Even in apelet courts located in smaller states, judges from big cities on one of the coasts.

This is going to be a big year for the Supreme Court which is why the Left wants to pack the court. Roe versus Wade is going to be judged on. The vaccine mandates are going to be judged. Critical Race Theory is schools and Radical Gender Theory are going to be looked at. Voting Rights laws are going to be a hot topic. Needless to say, now that the court is 6-3 Conservative (I’d say 5-4 with John Roberts), the Left is panicking.

The Left is flipping out at this report. Mark Joseph from Slate magazine said:

This report is an abomination. It assumes that today’s Supreme Court is basically apolitical while fretting that reforms with any real teeth would politicize it, and potentially break democracy. Republicans must be thrilled with this outcome. It’s a gift to the GOP.

Of course, when the court was Left leaning, Mark had no issue with it.

President Russ Feingold of the American Constitution Society, a Leftist organization, said:

The discussion materials released today, unfortunately, fail to match the urgency of the situation and do not lay out a solution to the legitimacy crisis before us.

Do something is code for get rid of the Conservatives on the court. Urgency of the situation means, “we could actually lose some cases (let’s face it, Roe versus Wade is a terrible decision).

Listen, Joe Biden is not for packing the court. Nancy Pelosi isn’t really for packing the court. The radicals are for packing the court. I want you to remember this little article when the first Leftist policy gets shot down by the court. I wonder if there is going to be an insurrection when that happens.

We Knew This Was Coming

The State Department’s Inspector General is going to be doing an investigation on the Afghanistan exit.

According to Fox News:

The reviews will focus on the State Department’s Special Immigrant Visa program, Afghans processed for refugee admission into the U.S., resettlement of refugees and visa recipients, and the emergency evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, according to an Oct. 15 memo to Secretary of State Blinken first reported by Politico and confirmed by Fox News.

Diana Shaw will be the IG investigating the debacle. She wrote to Congress:

Given the elevated interest in this work by Congress and the unique circumstances requiring coordination across the Inspector General community, I wanted to notify our committees of jurisdiction of this important work.

This will be set up as a “series of projects” that will inspect the above.

I think this is great but I won’t lie: I don’t have any confidence in it. This is a a Biden administration and she belongs to it. I’m sure these projects will last for years and come out with some crap that says everything was good to go with that disaster in Afghanistan. That means we’re going to have to trust Congress to investigate.

This Has Deeper Meaning

Last week, a commission, appointed by communist and idiot Bill de Blasio, decided to move a statue of Thomas Jefferson from the New York City’s city hall.

A local ABC affiliate reported:

The statue, which dates back to 1833, was expected to go on ‘long term loan’ to the New-York Historical Society by the end of the year, where it would be included in educational exhibits with the proper historical context that likely will include discussion of Jefferson’s slave ownership.

He also was the third President, wrote the Declaration of Independence and Constitution which created the freest and greatest country in world history.

This group that de Blasio created is called the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus. Notice no white people. That’s racist. They said:

This Administration owes it to the more than five million New Yorkers of color our members – past, present and future – represent, to resolve that the individuals memorialized within the confines of our People’s House be reflective not only of the best traditions of our city’s history and its diversity but unquestionable character.

Again, only the people of color. Screw white people. By the way, the smart phones those guys are tweeting from was invented by the country Thomas Jefferson started.

Charles Barron, a New York Assemblyman said:

How the hell can people see as a hero someone who had hundreds of enslaved Africans, someone who was a racist and who said we were inferior and someone who was a slaveholding pedophile? For him to be canonized in a statue is incredible — incredibly racist.

Couple of problems with this whole thing:

  • Thomas Jefferson did own slaves.
    • JFK was a philanderer.
    • Bill Clinton was a philanderer.
    • Before you think I’m picking on Democrats, Ronald Reagan was a philanderer.
    • Martin Luther King Jr. was a philanderer and abused women.
    • Jesse Jackson was a philanderer.
    • Al Sharpton is a tax evader, anti-Semite, homophobe and anti-Asian.
  • There is no evidence that Thomas Jefferson slept with 15-year-old Sally Hemmings. None.
  • There is evidence that it was Jefferson’s brother that may have slept with Hemmings. There is no way to prove any of this.
  • Thomas Jefferson fell in love with a singer after his wife died. Any affair he had was short lived.
  • At 15 years old, women were married and had 8 kids by then. This was not considered abnormal back then.

Listen, this whole thing is not about Thomas Jefferson. Because, if it was, they would go after all those people I mentioned. This is about destroying America’s founding and anything that was great.

  • The Constitution and Declaration of Independence are in the way of the Left. Best way to invalidate them is to bash the writer.
  • Columbus did the amazing thing of discovering American. That is an accomplishment of Western Civilization. The best way to invalidate that is by bashing Columbus.
  • Thomas Edison didn’t invent the lightbulb. It was a black guy (Lewis Latimer).
  • Mark Twain is the greatest writer in American history, who was an abolitionist. America is bad. He’s a racist. Ban Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
  • Lincoln didn’t fight the Civil War to free the slaves but to keep power.
  • The Founding Father fought the Revolution to keep slavery (1619 Project).

This is all to eliminate history. American history is exceptional. The Left doesn’t think America is awesome. They want another failed system like communism. A system that promotes poverty, slavery and genocide.

Don’t buy their crap. Fight for America.

Episode 431 – Rest in Peace, General

Pete Buttigieg is trying to show us that his position is useless and proves it.

Not having toilet paper, paper towels and Christmas presents in part of Biden’s grand plan.

And Rest in Peace to an American Hero.

 

Rest in Peace

General Colin Powell, the first black Secretary of State who served under three Republican presidents before endorsing former President Barack Obama twice, announced the 84-year-old former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had died “due to complications from Covid-19.”

The statement released by the family stated:

General Colin L. Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff passed away this morning due to complications from Covid 19. He was fully vaccinated. We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather, and a great American.

Some information about his life:

  • Powell was born in Harlem in 1937, the son of Jamaican immigrants.
  • He served two tours in Vietnam while serving in the Army.
  • 1968 as assistant chief of staff of operations for the 23rd Infantry Division.
  • Became senior military assistant to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger during the Reagan Administration.
  • In 1987, he served as United States Deputy National Security Advisor, then Reagan’s last National Security Advisor.
  • He was promoted to four-star general Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
  • Powell was urged by the Bush White House to help convince other nations to join in the invasion of Iraq, which he did successfully, but later regretted it, resigning soon after Bush’s reelection in 2004.
  • He won the Medal of Freedom twice.
  • He wrote a book called It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership.

This Is What Happens With A Real Military

According to some military intelligence people, China has tested a nuclear-capable, hypersonic missile. These are missiles can travel at over 21,000 miles an hour, can travel around the world and accurately hit a target. These intelligence officers say the government is very surprised by the technology and speed in which the Chinese created this weapon.

When confronted about it, China issued a statement that this was not a missile but a space vehicle.

A few things about this:

  • This is probably going to start a new arms race. We are already in a cold war with China.
  • I don’t believe anything China says or does so I’m going to assume that they did test a missile.
  • China’s aggression has to be taken serious. We must get off this woke crap and begin to see China as an enemy.

This was the White House’s response:

Some things:

  • You welcome “stiff competition”?
  • This isn’t an f-ing baseball game!
  • Our cities can be blown up and we can’t stop it. I think that’s something to think about.

What is our military doing? What is this administration thinking about?

What Good Is He?

So, we have a huge supply chain problem the is affecting everything right now. Shelves are empty at the stores. Inflation is running rampant. Ships off both coasts are sitting off both coasts, loaded with stuff, unable to dock because there are no workers to get the stuff off the ship and drive them to the stores.

It’s a mess. Sounds like something the Secretary of Transportation should be dealing with, right? That’s Pete Buttigieg by the way. You know, the mayor of a small city in Indiana. Tons of experience.

Anyway, people have asked where he is. It turns out that he has been on paternity since August. That’s right, this gay man who is married to another man has decided to have twins and he has been on paid leave (his salary is paid by tax payers) during the worst supply chain crisis in decades.

And this is what he was hired for.

A couple of things:

  • Three months of paternity? Really?
    • Children do not need bonding time with fathers for the first year.
    • They bond with the mothers (breast feeding). Of course, that’s not a thing here.
  • I never had paternity time. I was off for maybe two weeks just to help my ex-wife recover.
  • I had to use vacation time. I wasn’t given money by the government.
  • By the way, what use is Pete if he is missing and no one notices? Maybe it’s time to get rid of his position. Obviously, it’s not that important.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/buttigieg-supply-chain-clog-happening-in-part-because-biden-has-successfully-guided-this-economy

 

That’s Not Really the Story

So Pete has decided to justify his existence. He decided to hop on a couple of shows on CNN and talk about the supply chain crisis. I bet he wished he had just stayed home after these interviews.

First, he got caught saying the quiet part out loud. This could not be part of the plan:

Some things:

  • If we have so much throughput, why are we experience shortages that will go on to next year?
  • If this situation is so serious, why was he taking three months off? Isn’t that his job?
  • The Southwest thing is just a flat out lie.
    • No other airline had a weather problem. Only Southwest.
    • The CEO admitted the vax mandate was causing people not go to work. Not the weather.
  • Notice, he says it’s the weather in Florida. Next, it will be Ron Desantis’ fault.

But this next clip really shows the new narrative that the Biden administration is pushing. The above clip did touch on it but this one really puts it on the map:

Some things:

  • What are those steps, by the way?
  • This is a sign of Joe Biden’s success? No presents for Christmas and massive inflation are signs of success?
  • Yep. This is going to be the new talking point. Don’t believe your lying eyes or shrinking bank account.

Jen Psaki said it too. Here she is on CNN, with Jake Tapper, saying the same thing:

Some things:

  • Yes, that’s what the tweet said.
  • This is tone deaf.
  • A year and a half ago, the unemployment rate was a full percent lower (3.5%) before the pandemic.
  • 3.9 million people have left the workforce this year. That’s why the unemployment rate is down. Not because of great economic policies.
  • Again, she’s lying. Economists have said this inflation is not transitory and that some of it might be permanent.
  • This is a good thing. It’s per the President’s plan.

These people are lying and they are being called out.

Episode 430 – California Dreaming

Gavin Newsom continues to f-up California and I think it’s important to watch its descending into Hell.

Social Justice is getting crazy.

And I think Greg Popovich needs to learn a little about the history of basketball.

 

California Dreaming

Gavin Newsom is really on fire. Maybe he really wants another recall election because some of the ideas he’s implementing are pretty insane. And we have quite a list.

I do this for two reason: I live in this nutty state and have to deal with all these stupid policies and I want to show the idiotic Leftist policies in a blue state so when this pretty boy decides to run for President, you’ll vote for the other guy.

I also want to show you the direction that Joe Biden wants to take us.

 

So Long, Elon

Elon Musk is moving Tesla out of California and to Texas. He made the announcement on Thursday of last week. He said the move was for convenience and affordability.

Musk stated:

“To be clear we will be continuing to expand our activities in California. Our intention is to increase output from Fremont and Giga Nevada by 50%. If you go to our Fremont factory it’s jammed.

“It’s tough for people to afford houses, and people have to come in from far away. There’s a limit to how big you can scale in the Bay Area. In Austin our factory is like five minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from Downtown.”

He later tweeted:

“Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen [sic] on how Tesla is treated in the future.

“Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”

The last part is a shot at Lorena Gonzalez, a Democrat assemblywoman. She is pissed off about the salaries Tesla pays, the fact that she buys into that crap that Musk doesn’t pay his “fair share” and that he receives billions of dollars in subsidies.

She tweeted to Musk:

Fuck Elon Musk!

A very mature response from an assemblywoman. Of course, she just cost California tens of thousands of jobs, a loss of a couple of billion dollars in taxes and the subsidies were approved by Democrats like her because he builds the only successful electric car.

Musk responded to her on his website, tesmania.com:

“Tesla Moved its HQ to Texas Following Explicit Offer from California Assemblywoman. Exactly.”

 

Always Ask Where This Is Going To Go

California will be the first state, thanks to a law signed by Gavin Newsom, to allow euthanasia. This is the right of a patient to end his own life due to a terminal disease.

According to UCLA Health:

To receive the aid-in-dying drug, a person must:

  • Be 18 years or older and a resident of California
  • Have a terminal disease that cannot be cured or reversed and that is expected to result in
    death within six months
  • Have capacity to make medical decisions and not have impaired judgment due to a mental
    disorder
  • Have the physical ability to take and ingest the drug

Now I have a mixed thought on euthenasia. I have seen people who are dying of stage 4 cancer. It sucks. I am not a 100% that assisted suicide is an immoral thing unless I apply the Bible here. I don’t like to do that when debating someone who does not share my religious views. But there are a couple of things that bother me about this law as it is written:

  • It violates a doctor’s Hippocratic Oath.
  • It doesn’t allow for the chance of miracles. Beleive it or not, these things do happen. I know this for a fact.

But this is not why I’m against this law. Here is an example of the Give A Mouse A Cookie rule. What could this law lead to? Could it end up like? Is it possible that someone could request assisted suicide because they are simply depressed?

I say no to this law. It could lead to something far worse.

 

Back to the 1800s

In a bold move, Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would require toy stores to have a row for gender neutral toys. No kidding. This seems like a very important law.

The law reads:

This bill would require a retail department store that is physically located in California that has a total of 500 or more employees across all California retail department store locations that sells childcare items or toys to maintain a gender neutral section or area, to be labeled at the discretion of the retailer, in which a reasonable selection of the items and toys for children that it sells shall be displayed, regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.

Um, there might be some problems with the law:

  • It’s unconstitutional.
  • It very vague. What is “reasonable selection”?
  • What is considered a gender neutral toy? A ball? Legos?
  • Who is going to decide what is gender neutral?
  • Who is going to monitor and enforce this?
  • I thought there was no sex. Why do we need to worry about keeping things gender neutral.

The law will go into effect in 2024. The first offense will lead to a $250 fine. Each subsequent violation will lead to a $500 fine.

Assemblyman Evan Low (D-CA), who introduced the legislation, said:

Part of it is to make sure if you’re a young girl that you can find a police car, fire truck, a periodic table or a dinosaur. And then similarly, if you’re a boy, if you’re more artistic and want to play with glitter, why not? Why should you feel the stigma of saying, ‘Oh, this should be shamed’ and going to a different location?

Um,  if a girl wants a police car, can’t she just go to the section that has police cars? If a boy wants glitter, can’t he just go to the glitter section? Won’t this be more confusing especially if you put a police car in the gender neutral aisle, people may not find it?

 

We Need To Get Rid of Grass

Gavin Newsom signed a bill the outlawed the selling of gas powered lawn mowers, leaf blowers and chainsaws. I guess we are going back to manual mowers, water hoses and rakes and hand saws. Welcome back to 1920.

This goes along with the law that bans selling gas powered cars by 2035. There is also a bill that states that generators must be regulated to a certain amount of pollution. Jeez! I’ll get to the irony in a second.

The law states:

Assembly Bill 1346 directs the California Air Resources Board to phase out the sale of small off-road engines by 2024 or as soon as feasible, whichever comes later. The new law also directs the board to identify and make available, where feasible, funding for commercial rebates to go toward the purchase of electric equipment.

State Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-CA), who authored the legislation, said:

It’s amazing how people react when they learn how much this equipment pollutes, and how much smog forming and climate changing emissions that small off-road engine equipment creates. This is a pretty modest approach to trying to limit the massive amounts of pollution that this equipment emits, not to mention the health impact on the workers who are using it constantly.

Now, let me point out the irony here. California is recommending that people do not plug in their electric cars during peak hour because of the obselete power grid.

Who’s this going to hurt? Working class people like gardners and landscapers. It’ll also hurt people like me who does his own lawn and landscaping on those Saturday afternoons. Politicians don’t worry about that. They hire someone to do that for them.

 

Forget Math Because This Is Important

Forget math, literature, writing, science or computer technology. Who needs that? Ethnic studies is what’s going to get our kids through life.

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation that makes California the first state to mandate public high school students pass an ethnic studies class as a graduation requirement.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

High school students in California will be required to learn about the contributions and oppression of people of color in America, under a measure Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Friday.” According to the outlet, the new law “adds a one-semester ethnic studies course to the state’s high school graduation requirements for public schools, starting with the 2029-30 academic year.”

Newsom said:

America is shaped by our shared history, much of it painful and etched with woeful injustice. Students deserve to see themselves in their studies, and they must understand our nation’s full history if we expect them to one day build a more just society.

Welcome to Critical Race Theory.

Assemblyman Jose Medina said:

The inclusion of ethnic studies in the high school curriculum is long overdue. Students cannot have a full understanding of the history of our state and nation without the inclusion of the contribution and struggles of Native Americans, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans.

I want to acknowledge the countless young people, high school and college students, teachers and professors, who have organized, demonstrated, boycotted classes, and gone on hunger strikes to demand a more equitable and inclusive educational system.

The Chronicle reported:

Some Republican legislators said the course is inappropriate for high school students, arguing it is rooted in critical race theory, a view that racism is ingrained in laws and government institutions.

Proponents say ethnic studies courses are shown to help students of color improve academically because they feel empowered by seeing themselves reflected in textbooks, rather than a “Eurocentric” version of history.

The final version of AB101 includes a provision that discourages school districts from using earlier versions of the model curriculum that included references to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The measure also prohibits schools from using instruction materials that promote bias or discrimination toward any group.

I have big problems with this:

  • This, again, is made to demonize white students and victimize students of color. It creates division.
  • Don’t kid yourself, this is Critical Race Theory.
  • What about Irish, German, British, Nordic and Jewish ethicities? Do they count.
  • This is going to rewrite history to create victimization.

Around the World

We cannot forget what’s happening around the world. At least, I won’t let you forget.

 

Iran

What would the best way to deal with Iran who is only a few weeks to having enough nuclear material to create a nuclear weapon? It doesn’t matter what we think because Joe Biden has a definite idea what to do.

According to The Hill:

The sanctions, targeting the Mammut Industrial Group (Mammut Industries) and its subsidiary Mammut Diesel, were originally imposed by the Trump administration in September 2020 as part of efforts to increase a maximum pressure campaign of sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear activity and actions in the region criticized as malign and destabilizing.

That’s right! Let’s give Iran the money to build missiles! Yay!

It looks like Israel is going to have a busy 2022.

 

Afghanistan

The Taliban has made an announcement on Saturday stating that they alone will handle the terrorist cells in Afghanistan and will not help the United States get terrorists.

Who didn’t see that coming.

The Taliban hates ISIS-K, if it exists, and is actively hunting them down. But ISIS-K is not a concern of the United States. We are hunting al Qaeda because they are the ones that are a major threat (they took down the World Trade Center) and they are allied with al Qaeda.

So much for all that over-the-horizon crap.

How is Joe Biden going to deal with this? How about giving Afghanistan money? Does that sound good?

The United States decided to provide humanitarian aid to the poor. What that means is we are going to give money to the Taliban because they are going to take it and give nothing to the people. Afghanistan is in trouble. They are about to lose power because they have not paid the power companies. Their economy is collapsing because the Taliban can’t run an economy. They are currently working with China and Pakistan to try to get back on their feet. Don’t kid yourself, they are also working with Iran.

Sleepy Creepy Joe did a great job with Afghanistan.

Back to the SJW Crap

We need to always go over some of the insane SJW BS that companies are promoting.

 

Superman

DC comic writer Tom Taylor revealed Monday that the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane (formerly Superboy) is a bisexual and will have a gay lover by issue 5 of the comic. He said having another “another straight white savior” would be a “real opportunity missed.”

Taylor told IGN:

Over the years in this industry, it probably won’t surprise you to hear I’ve had queer characters and storylines rejected. I felt like I was letting down people I loved every time this happened. But we are in a very different and much more welcome place today than we were ten, or even five years ago. When I was asked if I wanted to write a new Superman with a new #1 for the DC Universe, I knew replacing Clark with another straight white savior could be a real opportunity missed.

OK, some things about this:

  • I don’t read comics, I don’t care about DC or Marvel movies. I just don’t like them. They’re dumb. So I really don’t care about this.
  • The big question here, though, is what opportunity would he miss? Maybe publishing a comic that will sell for the first five issues then not sell at all. That’s what’s going to happen.
  • Contrary to popular belief, comic guys are nerds not social justice worriers. Most of them are straight white men.
  • But I am happy that he’s not making Clark Kent gay. I hate the idea of making 007 a woman. Just create new characters.

 

Legos

Legos has decided to go woke. They have decided to become more gender neutral. In a statement they said:

Ensuring more inclusive play and raising the debate around gender norms is critical, not just for girls but for any child. The LEGO Group knows that boys are also battling prejudice when it comes to creative play and playing with toys that are traditionally seen as being for the opposite sex. 71% of boys vs. 42% of girls say they worry about being made fun of if they play with a toy typically associated for the other gender.

The company is committed to making LEGO play more inclusive and ensuring that children’s creative ambitions – both now in the future – are not limited by gender stereotypes. We know there is work to do which is why from 2021, we will work closely with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and UNICEF to ensure LEGO products and marketing are accessible to all and free of gender bias and harmful stereotypes.

Dude, they’re building blocks!

I would rather they continue to do what they’re doing but make them less painful when one steps on them.

Learn a Book

Of course, Columbus Day has gotten a lot of crap. You knew there would be some really stupid people saying some really stupid things.

Here’s rich Lefty, Greg Popovich, the coach for the San Antonio Spurs commenting on Columbus Day:

Some things:

  • Columbus was an explorer, not a colonist. He did not start any genocide. This guy needs to learn a history book.
  • The reason there are Mexicans today is because Spain supported the Spanish marrying the Indians.
  • Slavery was illegal and discouraged by Spain. It happened but not really by Columbus. In fact, Columbus got into trouble for sending slaves back to Spain.
  • Disease, which is what most Native Americans died of, is not genocide. The Aztecs sacrificed 88,000 people in three days.
  • The Aztecs were known for three things: conquest, genocide and basketball.
  • The Nazi comment is just stupid. And when I say that, I mean Popovich is stupid.
