Episode 1241 – Europe Is Going Back To The Dark Ages!

A disturbing trend is infecting the country. All because we are too lazy to do what needs to be done.

To solve the problem of the highest gas prices in the country, California has decided to raise tire prices. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up.

And countries in Europe are doing everything they can to bring themselves back to the Dark Ages.

I Find This Disturbing

PwC reported that, as of May 2026, 21% of U.S. households included a current GLP‑1 user. That is roughly 1 in 5 households, up from 9% in January 2025.pwc

What it means

This is a household-penetration estimate, not a claim that 1 in 5 Americans personally take one. A household with one person using a GLP‑1 medication—such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound—counts once, regardless of household size.

A separate nationally representative KFF poll found 12% of U.S. adults said they were currently taking a GLP‑1 drug in late 2025, while 18% said they had taken one at some point.kff

When Are We Going To Learn?!

According to the California Post:

Former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and Californians concerned with the Golden State’s skyrocketing cost of living are furious with state Democrats who pushed new regulations on replacement car tires.

The rules are a “scam” that will actually increase costs more, Pratt claimed in a post on X.

The California Energy Commission unanimously approved new rules Monday that will phase out the sale of replacement tires that don’t meet the state’s energy-efficiency standards — potentially wiping out 70% of the tires currently available to California drivers.

The rules target a tire’s “rolling resistance,” or how much energy it takes to keep a tire moving down the road. Lower resistance means cars use less gas or electricity from better mileage, which Democrats claimed will help affordability.

“Look at the gas prices everyone’s experiencing,” Commissioner Nancy Skinner told KCRA. “If we can bring each Californian’s gas cost down just a little bit, then why wouldn’t we?”

Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom even trumpeted estimates that the new rules would save drivers $1 billion a year, with his office declaring that “MAGA hates to see it.”

But that was contradicted by estimates from Goodyear’s Bret Gladfelty, who claimed that actual price increases for tires could reach several hundred dollars by the 2030s as the industry scrambles to replace the 70% of tires wiped out by the regulations. .

According to the Tire Industry Association, average tire prices could increase from $81 to up to $157. If someone purchased four new tires for his car, the difference could exceed $300 per vehicle.

Pratt and others noted that the state has not done anything to address the underlying causes of high gas prices, such as the state’s taxes and environmental regulations demanding certain blends of gasolines.

“A longtime Democrat politician who made gas prices the highest in the nation complains about said high gas price and uses it as justification to raise the cost of your tires,” Congressman James Gallagher (R-Calif.) “You can’t make this up!”

Skinner was a past Democratic state senator known for writing pro-environment bills, Gallagher noted.

The article points out:

Critics said that the new rules ironically may make electric vehicles — a priority for Newsom’s environmental agenda — less affordable. EVs go through tires more regularly because they are often heavier.

Later in the article:

It’s not just costs; some critics worry whether the less resistant tires could mean more danger on the roads.

Lower resistance on tires can decrease the tire wear life and lessen grip, especially for stopping and starting on wet surfaces, car experts said. The commission did relax requirements for tires with increased “wet grip,” or traction in the rain.

Environmentalists and clean air advocates supported the new regulations for the aim of lower emissions from the tires’ better mileage.

Idiots!

According to the New York Post:

More than 16,000 people died in a single week during Europe’s heatwave in late June — and in at least one area, the daily death toll spiked above the highs of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an analysis of mortality data.

In Wallonia, in southern Belgium, 313 deaths were recorded in just one day, June 28, compared to 245 daily deaths at the peak of COVID in November 2020, the New York Times found.

As temperatures soared to over 100 degrees, Wallonia recorded a death rate 77% higher than expected between mid-June and early July, leaving some hospitals overrun.

Despite the horrific toll, local leaders are still resisting installing air conditioning. Just 20% of European homes have the common technology — compared to 90% in the US.

“Air-conditioning can be appropriate in specific situations, particularly for vulnerable people or certain buildings,” said a spokesperson for Wallonia’s housing and energy minister, adding that their “long-term strategy is not based on its widespread use.”

Sniffy Belgians also do not “want to be Americans,” Belgian doctor Toon Ceyssens told the Times.

Around 16,000 excess deaths were recorded in Europe in just one week in late June, with Belgium, France, and Germany most affected, according to figures from the European Mortality Monitoring Network.

Half of all emergency rooms in Wallonia’s hospitals have no air conditioning, according to Dr. Philippe Devos, director general of a health care provider federation.

In the region’s overcrowded health centers, calls to emergency operators often took 10 minutes to get through, and many sick people were lined up in the hallways to allow privacy for the dead, the Times reported.

The number of households with AC, which is lower than most other developed economies, drops to between 4-6% in France, Germany, and the UK, which have all seen blistering heatwaves this summer.

Belgian officials continue to hesitate over introducing AC, warning it could overwhelm the power grid and heat up cities by pumping out hot air into the streets.

Authorities are instead looking at introducing more so-called cooling spaces and instituting policies to encourage housing renovation.

Here We Go Again

According to Breitbart:

A 26-year-old man from Ghana has been arrested multiple times in the past two weeks for alleged sexual assaults, according to news reports out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. One of the alleged sexual assaults was witnessed by local firefighters who notified police about the attack in a park.

News reports and jail records identify the man as Jeff Kufi (Kofi) Asare, a 26-year-old born in Accra, Ghana, in October 1999. Police arrested Asare on Thursday after he allegedly sexually assaulted a woman on Lake Hefner Trail. Local firefighters witnessed the alleged assault and waited for police to make the arrest, KOCO ABC5 reported.

On Aug. 1, near Northwest 23rd Street and Classen Boulevard, police responded to a possible rape. Asare allegedly pushed a woman against a bus stop window and put his hands down her pants.

Another woman told police that Asare came up behind her while she was walking on Classen Boulevard, pulled her pants down, and fled after she pushed him away. He was arrested for sexual battery and indecent exposure.

Five days later, near Scissortail Park, Asare allegedly walked up behind a woman, grabbed her buttocks multiple times, and began digging in his pants. When the woman asked him to leave, he walked away. Police later spotted him and arrested him for sexual battery.

Six days after that, on Wednesday, Asare allegedly approached a woman from behind on the Lake Hefner Trail, pulled her down, and attempted to rape her. Firefighters intervened and called police.

A $75,000 bond has been set by a local district court judge on a charge of First Degree Rape, according to jail records obtained by Breitbart Texas.

The District Attorney’s Office reported that it is seeking to increase the bond due to an alleged series of crimes over a short period of time, KOCO reported.

Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas show at least 19 criminal felony and misdemeanor charges were filed against Asare, beginning in August 2023.

Some things:

  • Why is this guy still in the country?
  • Second, who the hell allowed this guy in the country in the first place?

More of the Same Thing:

According to Reduxx:

A trans-identified male serving a 27-year sentence for the incestuous rape of his young sister is suing the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Corrections in an attempt to overturn a state ban on using taxpayer funding to provide transsexual medical procedures to convicted criminals – and, presumably, to ultimately secure a transfer to a female prison. Wayne Allison, 43, has adopted the name “Astrid,” and his case is receiving the support of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

In December 2013, Allison, of Bloomington, Indiana, was charged with five counts of child molestation and one count of incest. Allison, who was 30-years-old at the time, preyed upon his younger sister, who was 11-years-old. According to an affidavit provided to Reduxx by the Monroe Court, Allison raped his sister both vaginally and anally on several occasions during the period between July and November 2013.

In addition to repeatedly raping the girl, he groomed her by showing her pornography.

Now, Allison has begun calling himself “Astrid” and has recently secured the legal representation of the ACLU of Indiana in a lawsuit against the state’s Department of Corrections (DOC).

How about just “no.” You have no rights when arrested and we have no right to believe in your delusions.

Episode 1137 – These People Have No Idea What They’re Doing!

Zohran Mamdani, though not terribly popular, has received a “thank you” message from an unlikely source.

A city in California has been using tax money to…raise taxes. I’m not kidding.

And the co-chair for the Democratic Socialists of America proves that the Democratic socialists have no idea what they are doing.

A Special Thanks

According to the Post Millennial:

In a decided shot at DSA-backed New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the Florida Chamber of Commerce has officially launched a Times Square campaign dubbing the socialist mayor as Florida’s Economic Developer of the Year through a massive billboard at the corner of Broadway and West 43rd Street in Manhattan.

“We wanted to thank him for the jobs, the companies, the people that they’re pushing out of New York — and a lot of them are coming to Florida,” Chamber CEO Mark Wilson first told Fox News.

“America is at a crossroads right now. I think everyone that’s paying attention knows that our country was built on freedom and free enterprise and people having the liberty to make their dreams come true,” he said. “And there’s a push in our country right now to take those liberties away and to attack free enterprise. And that’s never worked anywhere, and it won’t work in America.”

“What Mayor Mamdani is doing is dangerous for the country, right? It’s bad for New Yorkers. It’s bad for New York. It’s very harmful for the country,” Wilson continued. “We can choose free enterprise, which is what America was built on, or we can choose to destroy that, which is what the social[ist] policies do… And so, what we’re hoping happens from this campaign is that we refocus America on free enterprise.”

Wilson insisted that the campaign is meant to encourage the free exchange of capital rather than to tear New York down. He said he wanted every state to thrive.

“Even though Florida is winning right now, we’re not looking for New York to lose,” he said. “We’re hoping that these other states will say ‘no’ to this move towards socialism and say ‘yes’ to the very policies that our country was founded on,” he said. “This isn’t about spiking a football or looking at the scoreboard about Florida versus New York. This is really about trying to save our country from crazy.”

These People Keep Getting Voted In

According to the California Post:

Spending taxpayer money to convince taxpayers to pay more taxes — it’s a California specialty.

But it seems Nevada County went too far, as the state’s political watchdogs found the Lake Tahoe-area jurisdiction spent more than $34,000 in taxpayer money trying to convince residents to raise their own taxes — and now that failed campaign is poised to cost county taxpayers another $31,500.

California’s Fair Political Practices Commission is scheduled to vote Aug. 20 on a proposed settlement stemming from Nevada County’s promotion of Measure V, a 2022 ballot measure that would have raised the county sales tax by half a percentage point for 10 years.

Measure V was pitched as a way to generate roughly $12 million annually for wildfire prevention, emergency services and disaster preparedness. But voters weren’t convinced.

The measure received just 48.41% of the vote and failed — despite Nevada County spending $34,614 in public funds on two mailers that state regulators determined crossed the line from informing residents into political advocacy.

The first mailer landed in the mailboxes of 33,351 residents in October 2022 at a cost of $17,708 and touted Measure V as “responsive to community priorities,” including preventing wildfires, improving evacuation routes, enhancing emergency communications and helping low-income seniors and people with disabilities.

But regulators found the county buried the less attractive part — the half-percent sales-tax hike — in the smallest font, while emphasizing the measure’s benefits.

These People Are Clueless

DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer.

Some things:

  • These people are really dumb. They are not the intellectuals they want you to think they are.
  • They definitely aren’t as smart as the Founding Fathers.
  • This also shows they don’t know what they want. They have no plans.
  • They just want to punish the rich. They’re envious of the rich.
  • They are over-educated (which isn’t saying much), under-employed, spoiled, privileged brats.

Episode 1229 – Los Angeles Was Surprised By That?

New York City keeps proving they hate their own people.

Los Angeles is finally admitting their “most beautiful” park is actually a crap hole. I could have told you that 30 years ago.

And the American Federation of Teachers is no longer hiding the fact they are indoctrinating your kids to be little communists. Please start listening to these people!

This Will Fix Everything…Not!

According to the Post Millennial:

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has quietly made a pilot program that pays drug users for their used needles permanent. Critics say the move will only encourage more drug use as those who use drugs will be incentivized to turn in more used needles for cash.

You think?

According to a report from the New York Post, the Big Apple’s budget for the fiscal year includes $3 million to maintain the Health Department’s Community Syringe Redemption Program. The program pays junkies 20 cents per syringe turned in. Those using drugs can get paid for up to 50 used needles a day for $10, and can turn them in at eight different drop-off sites. The sites are located in the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn.

The program was piloted as something that would get used needles off the streets and off public property, and was initially approved with legislation that was passed in 2022. The official program started in 2025. Republican Queens Councilwoman Joann Ariola slammed the program, saying that the cash—provided to the users through $189 million in settlement funds from opioid manufacturers and distributors—“should all be going toward addiction treatment services” instead of paying drug users for their used needles.

So, essentially, this is a program started to give money won in a lawsuit to bureaucrats.

Over 2.3 million needles have been collected with the program over its first 16 months, leading to payouts of nearly $300,000 in cash. The program was supposed to help the Sanitation Department with its efforts in picking up used needles around parks and other public places, but the department says that they are still picking up the same number of needles as before the program was launched.

So this program isn’t even doing what it was intended to do.

Some things:

  • The Left loves drug use by its people.
    • It keeps people stupid.
    • It keeps people voting blue because Dems are the only ones that support this.
    • It keeps people addicted, not only to drugs, but to government services like this one.
    • It keeps people sedated, literally, from protesting the trashing of their city.
  • The Left hates America and this is just another way to undermine America.

How About Calling Them Criminals?

According to the New York Post:

New York City’s jails watchdog is set to go woke — scrapping the words “inmate” and “inmates” from its rule book and replacing them with “people in custody” or “person in custody.”

The proposed rule change for the Board of Correction swaps the words “inmate” or “inmates” with “people in custody” or “person in custody” more than 300 times.

Criminal justice advocates claim that “inmates” a derogatory term for incarcerated criminal defendants or convicts.

“In 2021, the Board made a commitment to employ person-first language in its Minimum Standards and communications by deleting references to inmates’ in favor of personfirst terms such as people in custody and using gender inclusive language in Chapter 1 of the Minimum Standards,” the proposed rule says.

“The Board proposes continuing this vital effort in Chapters 2 and 3.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul approved a law in 2022 that strikes the word “inmate” in state law, replacing it with “incarcerated individual.”

“Individuals impacted by the criminal justice system have long noted that terms such as felon, inmate, prisoner, and convict dehumanize individuals and perpetuate the idea that incarcerated people should be permanently demonized and stigmatized,” a Hochul release at the time said.

Some things:

  • Again, manipulating language is what the Left does.
  • By “humanizing” the language, the Left is hoping to ignore the evil these people have done in order for them to join their coalition.
  • The Left does the same thing with other words like “gender” and “gender affirming care” or “pro-choice.”
  • And it’s not like they just want to add words for these people. They want to rid the other words from the language.
  • If you refuse to stop using the correct language, you’re a fascist, racist, sexist, homophobe, or whatever.
  • The word “retard” or saying “Merry Christmas” are important to you, just ignore when these people start changing definitions.

This Guy IS Running for President

According to the Daily Wire:

The Trump administration threw cold water on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s dream of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the proposal “pure political theater.”

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz responded on Saturday after Mamdani revealed he was in “active conversation” with New York City’s Law Department over whether he could order Netanyahu’s arrest if the Israeli leader visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September. 

“Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen,” Waltz wrote on X. He went on to elaborate that the United States is not a party to the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court (ICC), the U.N. Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of government, longstanding head-of-state immunity applies, and “federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes.”

“This is pure political theater,” Waltz concluded.

Mamdani has repeatedly argued that Netanyahu should be arrested over an International Criminal Court warrant accusing the Israeli prime minister of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani said during an interview with The New York Times. “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court.”

While acknowledging uncertainty over his legal authority, Mamdani said his administration is actively reviewing whether New York City could detain Netanyahu if he arrives for the annual U.N. General Assembly. “Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” he said.

The comments marked a continuation of promises Mamdani made during last year’s mayoral campaign, when he pledged to direct the New York Police Department to arrest Netanyahu if he entered the city in compliance with the ICC warrant. At the time, Mamdani said, “It is my desire to ensure that this be a city that stands up for international law.”

Legal experts have long questioned whether such an arrest would be possible, noting that the United States does not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction and that any attempt by a city government to detain a sitting foreign head of government would almost certainly trigger a confrontation with federal authorities.

Some things:

  • Let’s go with the concept of the idea first, not the reality.
  • Zohran Mamdani has no business performing a federal job concerning international. If the government wanted to acknowledge the ICC’s warrant, the Secretary of State will deal with that, not the mayor of New York.
  • This shows us the immature thinking (and I mean that) of Zohran Mamdani. He thinks New York City is its own little kingdom and he is the king.
  • This is why he puts his two cents into everything involving international affairs. He believes his he has a say in world affairs. This makes his dangerous.
  • In reality, the ICC is feckless.
    • Unlike what the movies say, the ICC is a very weak organization that is made up of about 123 countries.
    • The United States, Russia, India, Israel and China do not acknowledge the ICC.
    • Over the last 10 years, 6 additional countries decided not to acknowledge the ICC.
  • Finally, Ben Netenyahu is the most hated man in the world. What do you think his security is going to be like?

I Thought It Was a Beautiful Park

According to the California Post:

Shocking new records reveal the filthy reality of Los Angeles’ notoriously rundown MacArthur Park — where city crews hauled away nearly 13 million pounds of trash and hazardous waste last year.

Records obtained by The California Post through a public records request show sanitation workers dragged out more more than 6,359 tons of disgusting debris in 2025, including a staggering 142,329 pounds of human waste.

The records paint a disturbing picture of one of Los Angeles’ most promising public spaces, which has been plagued by homelessness and open drug use for years under the leadership of lefty Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, whose district includes the park.

Hernandez has supported city-funded programs that distributed tens of thousands of syringes and crack pipes in the public space, pouring more than $27 million into the park and surrounding area.

In early March, Hernandez posted a video featuring LA Mayor Karen Bass touting a major cleanup effort of the long-troubled space. But when The Post returned to the park a week later, trash, debris from homeless encampments and drug waste were seen littering the ground.

In May, a man linked to a nonprofit that has received millions of dollars in contracts from the city to help clear up homelessness and hand out free needles and crack pipes was arrested with an alleged cache of fentanyl and meth in his vehicle.

Last year, the city’s intensive cleanup program CARE+ — which closes portions of the park while sanitation workers, police, hazardous-waste crews and other agencies remove dangerous materials — carried out 7,111 operations in MacArthur Park.

Among the material removed were 142,329 pounds of human waste, nearly 24,000 pounds of discarded syringes and sharps, more than 107,000 pounds of flammable materials, nearly 42,000 pounds of corrosive chemicals, more than 19,000 pounds of toxins and poisons, more than 32,000 pounds of petroleum products, and thousands of pounds of compressed gases and reactive chemicals requiring specialized disposal.

In all, crews hauled away 12.7 million pounds of solid waste, record show.

Some things:

  • Make drug use illegal.
  • Make drug possession illegal.
  • Make selling drugs illegal.
  • Make littering illegal.
  • Make homelessness illegal.
  • Make loitering illegal.
  • Bring back asylums for the mentally ill.
  • Bring back asylums back for the drug addicted.
  • Require forced incarceration for drug addicts and the mentally ill.

Make crime illegal and have consequences. Problem solved.

Episode 1227 – Illegal Aliens: The New Privileged Class

Good news for the Trump administration when it comes to inflation.

We are becoming two-tiered law system and, guess what, you are not in the upper tier.

And I don’t want to hear anything about affordability from California.

They Needed to Do That a Long Time Ago

According to the Daily Voice:

Some Taco Bell locations have temporarily stopped serving certain fresh ingredients amid a nationwide rise of cyclosporiasis cases, according to multiple reports, including People and Allrecipes. 

The reported menu changes come as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday, July 10, that it has received 843 confirmed domestic cases of cyclosporiasis across 31 states. 

The illness is caused by the microscopic Cyclospora parasite. The CDC said 86 people have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.

People reported that some Taco Bell locations, including some in Metro Detroit, posted signs saying lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and cilantro onion were unavailable.

Allrecipes reported that a paper sign at a Taco Bell drive-thru read, “We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro, Onion, Pico de Gallo, and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall.” The image was posted by a Reddit user from Michigan.

Allrecipes also reported that neither the FDA nor USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service had issued recalls for those specific items. The outlet said it was unclear whether the ingredients were part of an internal recall by Taco Bell’s supplier.

I Smell a Nobel Prize in His Future!

According to the California Post:

Federal agents descended on the Irvine home of a teenager whose alleged science experiments sparked hazmat crews to swarm the residence over complaints of a strong chemical smell Wednesday.

Several blue tens and dozens of agents — from the FBI, Department of Justice, Environmental Protection Agency and Irvine Police Department — were spotted in the gated community as they investigated the home of 18-year-old Amalvin Fritz.

A judicial search warrant was being served at the location, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. It’s currently unclear what was seized from the home.

It’s the second time in two days agents were at the home, as FBI officials, hazardous material crews and the bomb squad were all at the property Tuesday after neighbors spotted three strange industrial barrels and reported a strange chemical odor.

The three barrels were allegedly empty and previously contained chemicals but were not confiscated during February’s investigation, according to CJ Ray, the family’s attorney.

Chemical mixtures along with formulas written on a whiteboard were discovered inside home, which prompted the FBI to bring in experts to investigate further.

No arrests were made in the February search.

Is This a Good Use of Money?

According to the New York Post:

Sacramento residents are bracing for tight supervision of what they throw in their trash as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s mandates require the city to lay invasive eyes on them.

Bin inspections are set to be deployed this month due to SB 1383, a law that requires local governments to take steps to reduce methane emissions caused by short-lived climate pollutants.

One of the key goals of the initiative is to see if homeowners are sorting their organic waste properly. City officials say they caught many sorting their trash into the wrong bin.

No fines will be issued, but residents will receive unsolicited feedback via a tag city workers place. Workers will wear high-visibility vests and badges as they peer through residents’ garbage.

Why Are There So Many Fires?

According to the California Post:

San Diego is forging ahead with plans for a sprawling new community featuring more than 5,100 affordable homes — despite fierce pushback from private landowners who warn the rezoning could slash the value of their property.

The massive Southwest Village development in Otay Mesa will span nearly 490 acres, most of it city-owned, and be built by Tri Pointe Homes.

The City Council has already signed off on the ambitious project, which will also include market-rate homes, a school, parks, 175,000 square feet of retail space and more than 200 acres of open space, according to project documents.

The proposal has received heat from nearby landowners, who say they were largely shut out of the planning process and denied a meaningful chance to weigh in before the project advanced.

The development would also require portions of the area to be rezoned because it overlaps with protected habitat. Tri Pointe is now working with federal wildlife officials to determine how the massive housing project can move forward without violating environmental laws, NBC San Diego reported.

Landowners are terrified that the city’s new lines on the map will kill future opportunities on their own turf. But supporters of the plan argue it would add housing units that San Diego very much needs.

Stop Paying These People!

According to the California Post:

Los Angeles City Council members earning nearly a quarter of a million dollars per year want to only meet one day per week as the city faces growing crises.

The council — whose base salaries start at $245,255 and can climb as high as $270,389 — voted 12–0 on June 30 in favor of putting on the November ballot a measure slashing the City Charter’s minimum requirement.

One member of the 15-member council, Monica Rodriguez, walked out in protest, while two others were absent for the vote.

One of those pushing the change, Katy Yaroslavsky, moaned she was always working — whether it was in City Hall, in her district or “doing dishes and vacuuming at home.”

But critics were quick to leap on the proposal. Councilwoman Rodriguez claimed her fellow members were just being lazy and saying it will be hated by the public.

The idea surfaced in early 2024, when Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez suggested scaling back to one meeting a week and pointed to the LA County Board of Supervisors, which meets regularly on Tuesdays, as a possible model.

So Much for Affordability

According to the California Post:

California shoppers could soon be paying even more at the checkout line as a sweeping new state recycling measure threatens to send grocery prices soaring, with dairy manufacturers warning some businesses may be forced to shut down or flee the Golden State.

Senate Bill 54 is now entering its first phase of implementation, with companies expected to receive their first bills as early as next month, reported SFGATE.

The measure aims to reduce landfill waste by making manufacturers financially responsible for the packaging they sell after it is thrown away.

It charges companies impact fees on products they sell while also requiring them to phase out packaging that cannot be adequately reused, recycled or composted.

The dairy industry says it stands to be among the hardest hit because many of its products rely on packaging that does not currently meet the measure’s requirements.

CalRecycle, however, estimates the impact will be far smaller, projecting households will pay between $57 and $190 more annually based on data from the California Department of Finance.

Supporters say those added costs are outweighed by shifting the financial burden of packaging waste from taxpayers to the companies that produce it.

Episode 1225 – I Hate Lawyers!

The Federal Reserve releases a report that brings up a big surprise. Well, not really.

California needs to stop giving illegal aliens who cannot read licenses to drive 15 ton trucks.

And I hate lawyers!

Who Started the Affordability Crisis?

According to the New York Post:

A new Federal Reserve working paper found the record surge in illegal immigration during the Biden administration triggered higher home prices and rents.

The findings arrive as immigration remains a polarizing political issue. Republicans argue former President Joe Biden’s border policies strained housing and public resources, while Democrats say immigration helped ease labor shortages and supported economic growth.

The paper, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, combines immigration court records with government administrative data to measure how the unprecedented wave of illegal immigration between 2021 and 2024 affected local labor and housing markets.

The authors caution the study is a preliminary draft circulated for professional comment and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas or the Federal Reserve System.

Again?!

According to the Post Millennial:

A Haitian illegal alien who was issued a Massachusetts Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) has been arrested after allegedly causing a semi-truck crash that killed a veteran Pennsylvania State Trooper, prompting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to lodge an immigration detainer against him.

Michael Bon, a Haitian national, was arrested following the July 1 crash in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Authorities allege Bon’s tractor-trailer struck Trooper Michael Pahira, who was inspecting another commercial vehicle along I-81 South. Pahira, a nearly 20-year veteran of the Pennsylvania State Police, later died from his injuries.

Bon has been charged with vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter. ICE lodged a detainer one day after his arrest, requesting that Pennsylvania authorities notify the agency before any potential release from custody.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Bon entered the United States after being released by the Biden administration in July 2024. He later applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in October 2024, but DHS said that application “was never granted.” Despite that, Bon obtained a Massachusetts-issued Commercial Driver’s License, a fact DHS highlighted in announcing the immigration detainer.

Or You Could Arrest Them

According to the Post Millennial:

In the face of shootings over Independence Day weekend, Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell has considered imposing a curfew for minors within city limits after several fights, illegal fireworks, and nine shootings rocked North Carolina’s capital. Cowell, who was elected mayor in 2024 to lead the city of more than 500,000 and ran on housing affordability and public safety, said the city needs accountability, Fox News reports. 

“As Mayor, I am grateful for the actions of the Raleigh Police officers in response to the situations of juvenile violence across the City on the night of July 4 and the morning of July 5,” the Cowell said. “Clearly, Raleigh is not exempt from the incidents of youth violence that are occurring across the country. We need to talk with the youth, their parents, schools, and the broader community to understand the root causes and to better coordinate strategies. One approach may be a youth curfew for those 17 years and under, which other cities in North Carolina have implemented. City leadership is exploring many approaches that we will discuss at tomorrow’s Council meeting.”

Raleigh Police said about 5,000 teenagers gathered in Brier Creek and another 5,000 gathered in Glenwood South, with roughly half of those in attendance coming from outside the city. Officers first responded around 10:05 p.m. Saturday to reports of a fight near a movie theater and surrounding businesses during what police described as a social media-organized “teen takeover.” The large fight was followed by gunfire, leaving one adult injured by a gunshot and another hurt by shattered glass. Police detained a juvenile who was found with a firearm, though investigators do not believe the teen was one of the shooters.

Additional violence unfolded throughout the night. Around 1:35 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to multiple shootings that left six people wounded, all of whom are expected to survive. About three hours later, at approximately 4:30 a.m., two more people were shot following a fight at a gas station. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests have been announced, and all of the shootings remain under investigation.

In a post on X Monday, Cowell described the teen takeovers as a “disturbing national trend” and thanked the Raleigh Police Department for restoring order, adding that city leaders and the broader community have work ahead to engage with young people and prevent similar incidents in the future.

How about throwing these kids in jail? How about throwing their parents in jail?

Why do they call them “teen takeovers” and not riots? Because all the teens are black.

Gentle Parenting Doesn’t Work

According to the New York Post:

A pregnant city special-ed teacher was violently kicked in the stomach by one of her students — then fired by officials who blamed her for the terrifying outburst, a shocking lawsuit claims. 

Then-kindergarten teacher Lauren Vitale, 31, was six months pregnant when she was attacked in January by one of her pupils, who has a documented history of violence, according to her Manhattan Supreme Court suit.

The special-needs kindergartner had been placed in the classroom at Staten Island’s PS 84 without giving Vitale any advance warning of her violent past — part of a troubling pattern by the adminstration of targeting the teacher, the suit says.

The child ended up spitting in Vitale’s face and kicking her in her pregnant belly — which resulted in the mom-to-be suffering from bleeding, low fetal movement and high blood pressure, according to court papers.

But instead of supporting Vitale over the assault, the school’s principal immediately blamed her for it, the lawsuit alleges.

Vitale, whose daughter is now 2 months old, said the alleged horrific experience was the climax of a years-long pattern of discrimination, hostile work environment and retaliation by education bosses against her.

Later in the article:

She said in her suit that she then felt especially targeted in early 2024 after she filed a union complaint over the placement of a different dangerous student in her classroom.

The child bit her and struck her with a curtain rod, Vitale’s lawsuit says.

In response to Vitale’s complaint, the principal called her to his office, labeled her a “whistleblower” and warned that she had “opened Pandora’s box,” court documents allege.

Then this past September, when Vitale was eight weeks pregnant, she privately shared her good news about the baby with the school’s guidance counselor — also a union rep — who she considered a friend, her suit says..

But the news was immediately leaked to the principal, who cornered her in her classroom and “badgered” her into confirming it minutes later, Vitale says in her suit. 

She was immediately slapped with a punitive Teacher Improvement Plan, the lawsuit claims.

Episode 1224 – Saving Democracy by Subverting Democracy!

Democrats are protecting democracy by subverting democracy…again.

Iran can’t seem to behave.

And when are these actors going to learn not to bash their own movies before those movies come out.

News

Here is some news:

  • Graham Platner is out as a Democratic senatorial candidate for Maine.
    • Democrats will choose another candidate (here we go again).
    • The pervert and Nazi has been accused of rape.
    • He left a message. Of course none of this was his fault.
  • We have started bombing the crap out of Iran again.
  • And today is day 4 of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing.
    • He’s the guy who shot Charlie Kirk.
    • The prosecution has introduced an entire timeline with video.
    • The guy is screwed. It’s not going to trial.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/graham-platner-has-a-price-for-dropping-out-report

Dumbass of the Day

What do these movies have in common:

  • The live action remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
  • The Alcolyte.
  • Captain America.
  • Supergirl.

These are films that were undermined by their stars before they came out and the movies bombed.

Women in “The Odyssey”:

  • Penelope
  • Helenm
  • Clyemnestra
  • Nausicaa
  • Arete
  • Athena
  • Hera
  • Persephone
  • Calypso
  • Circe
  • Eurycleia
  • The Sirens
  • Skylla
  • Charybdis
  • Tyro
  • Antipoe
  • Alcmene
  • Jocasta
  • Chloris
  • Leda
  • Phaedra
  • Procris
  • Ariadne
  • Maera
  • Clymene

This movie is already getting a lot of hate simply from the previews (remember, no one has seen this movie yet).

  • Lupita Nyong’o being cast as Helen of Troy. Helen as having “white arms” implies a white Greek woman and that Nolan has prioritized diversity over historical or textual fidelity.
  • Elliot Page’s casting as Sinon, a warrior and cousin of Odysseus, has also become a flashpoint, with detractors framing this and the inclusion of rapper Travis Scott in an unknown role as evidence of “culture-war” or “identity politics” casting rather than story-driven choices.
  • Fans of classical history and “historical epics” have criticized the armor, helmets, ships, and general production design as anachronistic or more “comic book” than Bronze Age Greece.
  • Another recurring complaint is Nolan’s decision to use contemporary-sounding language in the dialogue instead of archaic or elevated speech that would mirror traditional translations of Homer.
  • The film is very dark.

So They Shouldn’t Know How to Speak

According to the New York Post:

Activists are pushing for Black English to be legitimized in preschool as a way to build children’s literacy skills in California.

The Black Californians United for Early Care & Education (BlackECE) is part of a movement to challenge “harmful language hierarchies and affirm Black English as a legitimate, rule-governed language rooted in Black history, culture, and community.”

The movement also seeks to “address how language bias shows up in early learning spaces–and how it can be dismantled.”

“I don’t want my son to walk into any room and feel like his voice is not valued or his perspective can’t be heard because he’s not saying it one way or the other,” the co-founder of BlackECE Ashley Williams told PBS.

She also remembered how speaking Black English is full of slangs and grammatical errors so it came with a lot of embarrassment.

BlackECE is a nonprofit organization centered around a 10-point policy plan that seeks to gain reparations and help Black children, families, and workers.

California released a plan promoting early dual language learning and calling on the state’s education system to support bilingual children in their development in 2020, but the advocacy group believes that Black vernacular should be included.

“We talk about multilinguals, but we don’t include Black children who may be African-American English speakers,” the Director of the Children’s Equity Project Xigrid Soto-Boykin said.

Williams also recalled her experiences in having to “talk white” and talking in her comfortable English and feeling insecure.

Episode 1216 – That’s Why the SPLC Is Being Investigated!

A terror plot was exposed that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 even to kill all the billionaires. We will talk about it since the mainstream media won’t.

A big company will discontinue using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map when in comes to their charity program.

And Gavin Newsom is being investigated and he’s yelling at Trump. There’s just one problem.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

According to Fox News:

The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.

Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.

A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.

The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.

Later in the article:

Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspect’s iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.

Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.

One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-disrupts-alleged-explosive-drone-plot-targeting-white-house-ufc-event-officials-say

That’s Why They Are Being Investigated!

According to the Post Millennial:

DoorDash has officially ended a policy that automatically blocked certain nonprofits from its employee giving program after criticism from investors and advocacy groups.

According to a report by The Daily Signal, DoorDash has instructed its workplace giving platform, Deed, to stop using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” as a default filter for charitable organizations participating in the program.

The change means employees will no longer be automatically prevented from donating to nonprofits that have been designated by the SPLC as hate groups through DoorDash’s charitable giving system.

The policy drew scrutiny from conservative organizations that argued the SPLC’s classifications have expanded beyond extremist groups like the KKK to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as Turning Point USA and PragerU. Critics claimed the practice limited employees’ charitable giving options.

Well, It’s About Time!

According to the Daily Wire:

The Department of Justice has launched multiple investigations related to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, including a probe dating back to the Biden administration, The Daily Wire has learned.

The revelation comes just hours after Newsom accused President Donald Trump of directing the DOJ to investigate him and his wife.

In a nearly five-minute video statement, Newsom said federal agents have knocked on the doors of his family, friends, and former employees.

In May, Newsom announced plans to make California the first state to provide “free diapers” to newborns leaving the hospital — funneling the money for the program through a nonprofit headed by a friend of California’s self-described “First Partner,” The Daily Wire previously reported.

Baby2Baby co-CEO Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s group “California Partners Project” — and it’s Baby2Baby that will take point on the $20 million diaper project, which is supposed to provide every family leaving the hospital with a newborn with 400 diapers.

It’s Coming to an End…Finally!

According to ESPN:

Major League Baseball on Monday decried the use of personal writings on any team-issued Pride Night hats after members of the San Francisco Giants had Bible verses etched into their caps during Friday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.

In a statement to multiple outlets, MLB chief communications officer Pat Courtney said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”

San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, a 27-year-old right-hander from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, started and pitched 4⅔ innings with “Gen 9:12-16” on the front of his hat. Roupp spoke to reporters after the 5-1 loss about his decision, and he was adamant that “there’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand on: I believe in God.”

“The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with us, and we as believers stand firm in that … There’s no hate at all,” he told reporters. “It’s just what I stand for and what I stand in, I believe in God.”

“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’” Genesis 9:12-16

Roupp brought up:

  • JT Brubaker, a 32-year-old righty from Springfield, Ohio, and Ryan Walker, a 30-year-old righty from Arlington, Washington, made relief appearances in the loss with Bible verses on their hats.
  • Also in the loss, reliever Sam Hentges, a 29-year-old lefty from Shoreview, Minnesota, took the mound without the Pride Night hat.
  • The Texas Rangers remain the only MLB club that does not stage an official Pride Night or Pride Month celebration, despite 29 other teams doing so.
  • Nick Ahmed (Giants shortstop in 2024) – Said he wrote a Bible verse on his Pride cap that year, framing it as an expression of his faith rather than a coordinated protest, but it’s now cited as part of the same pattern.
  • Jason Adam
  • Jalen Beeks
  • Brooks Raley
  • Jeffrey Springs
  • Ryan Thompson
  • Blake Treinen (Dodgers pitcher)

Episode 1214 – Street Journalism Is Finding the Grift in California!

An incredible story comes out of Boston showing what liberal governance leads to. When you listen to the story, see if you can figure out what’s missing.

We all know that there was cheating in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Now, it looks like people are looking to prove it and it didn’t take long.

And the FIFA World Cup started yesterday and FIFA already has some egg on their faces.

This Is Pretty Incrdible

You Don’t Say

According to the New York Post:

A series of shocking videos show homeless residents on Los Angeles’ Skid Row claiming they were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass and councilwoman Nithya Raman.

The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.

The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post’s revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live.

One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.

In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.

Oh Well! See Ya!

According to the Post Millennial:

A Somali referee selected to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been barred from entering the United States after federal authorities discovered information linking him to suspected members of terrorist organizations.

Omar Artan, Somalia’s only referee appointed to the tournament, was denied admission after arriving at Miami International Airport from Istanbul on Saturday. According to a Trump administration official who spoke to Fox News, Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered “derogatory” information during an inspection that rendered Artan inadmissible under federal immigration law.

In a statement provided to Fox News, the administration said, “This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump’s administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country – full stop.”

The decision effectively ends Artan’s participation in the World Cup, which is being hosted in part by the United States. FIFA confirmed Monday that Artan would no longer take part in referee training or officiate matches during the tournament. The organization said it had been informed by US authorities that his immigration status would not be changed.

Now What Do They Do With Them

According to the Post Millennial:

DeCarlos Brown Jr, the man who was charged with stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte light rail, has been found incompetent to stand trial, according to federal prosecutors. 

Brown, 34, appeared in federal court on Tuesday morning, where federal Judge Kenneth Bell found ruled that Brown did not understand the proceedings, and could not stand trial. During the hearing, Brown shouted about having “material in his body” and said that he was having a “body emergency” during the brief hearing at the courthouse, per Queens City News. 

The judge, as the ruling came down, said, “[I] hope that what happens here will be accurately recorded by professional press and social media.” Brown was evaluated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago through the Bureau of Prison. 

After shouting during the hearing, he was escorted out of the room. He shouted more at the judge and asked if the judge had gotten a letter from his mother. The killer will now get medication as well as treatment in an effort to restore his competency for up to four months. 

If Brown is not found to be competent at that point, he may be held in federal custody under federal commitment laws. Another hearing may determine is he has to be forcibly medicated. The prosecutors in the case did not present any evidence in the 15-minutes hearing on Tuesday.  

“The court found that his prognosis is ‘good’ to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,” US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Russ Ferguson said. “The court ordered that he seek treatment and medication.”

Dumbass of the Day

Yeah, Now Do HUD

According to the New York Post:

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership, according to a letter sent to LAHSA’s board chair Wendy Greuel and its CEO Gita O’Neill, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital. 

The letter detailed conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, lack of oversight, and more from the homelessness agency, which has faced efforts by the city and county to take it over.

The move puts one of the country’s biggest homelessness bureaucracies under direct federal scrutiny after years of criticism that billions have gone into homelessness programs in Los Angeles while the crisis remains entrenched on the streets. LAHSA receives funding at the city, county, state and federal level, with the group getting nearly $1 billion from just the federal government since 2021, according to HUD.

Episode 1211 – I Will Say It: They Are Cheating!

More good news comes from the economy.

The cheat is complete in Los Angeles and Donald Trump has something to say about it.

And the Left is doing all it can to ruin the country’s 250th anniversary.

Things Are Getting Better

Segment 1 – The “strong” jobs report that doesn’t fix your grocery bill (2:00–12:00)

  • Summarize The Post Millennial story on 172,000 jobs added in May, beating expectations, and unemployment at around the mid‑4% range.
  • Contrast headline numbers with lived reality: persistent inflation, gas, groceries, and housing strain, and how administration allies will spin the report versus skeptical economists.
  • Angle: “Bidenomics vs Trump era vs now” in terms of labor participation, real wages, and underemployment, and how media cherry‑pick whichever datapoint serves their narrative.
  • Listener takeaway: encourage people to look at real wages and participation, not just “jobs added this month.”

https://thepostmillennial.com/employment-surges-past-expectations-with-172000-jobs-added-in-may

The Fix is Complete in L.A.

Los Angeles Mayoral race:

  • Karen Bass – 34.3% – 276,000
  • Nitya Raman – 28.5% – 230,000
  • Spencer Pratt – 25.8% – 208.000

The California Gubernatorial race:

  • Xavier Bacerra – 27.7% – 2.178 million
  • Steve Hilton – 25.1% – 1.975 million
  • Tom Steyer – 22.4% – 1.759 million

1.6 million voted remain to be counted.

Segment 2 – California’s relaxed voter registration IDs (12:00–24:00)

  • Walk through the report that California allows voter registration using non‑photo IDs like gym cards, insurance cards, or employer IDs, which do not verify identity or citizenship.
  • Explain, in plain language, what is and is not being checked: residency vs citizenship vs simple possession of a card; how this interacts with motor voter and same‑day registration.
  • Contrast with stricter models (photo ID, proof‑of‑citizenship) that advocates in other states push, using something like the SAVE America Act conceptually for comparison.
  • Angle: federal vs state control of election standards; how loose documentation regimes in a deep‑blue state affect national politics through House seats and electoral votes.

Why’d He Do It, Anyway?

They Want Misery Only

Segment 3 – Lawsuit to stop the UFC “Freedom 250” on the White House lawn (24:00–36:00)

  • Summarize ESPN’s reporting: a federal lawsuit by a veteran and a civic activist seeks an injunction against the UFC card on the South Lawn, timed to Trump’s 80th birthday.
  • Outline the claimed legal issues: use of federal parkland for a private sporting event, alleged failure to get proper congressional authorization for construction on the lawn, and NEPA/environmental‑review claims.
  • Political angle:
    • Is this genuine concern about precedent for private commercialization of the presidency and public property?
    • Or lawfare and bureaucratic resistance against Trump’s attempt to merge populist spectacle with presidential power?
  • You can riff on sports‑washing vs populist entertainment: compare to Obama’s celebrity concerts or Biden events vs a UFC card at the White House.

Key Facts

  • The lawsuit was filed by the Public Integrity Project in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to halt the June 14 UFC card and related events, including a weigh‑in at the Lincoln Memorial.
  • Plaintiffs argue the Department of the Interior and National Park Service violated their own regulations by allowing a private sporting event on public property and by permitting construction of the UFC’s “claw” stadium structure on the South Lawn without the congressional authorization required for building on federal parkland.
  • The suit also claims the government failed to conduct an environmental review for a “major federal action” affecting the South Lawn, and that the temporary America‑250 rule for semiquincentennial events does not apply because the card is really a celebration of the UFC and President Trump’s 80th birthday, not Independence Day.
  • Brendan Ballou, lead attorney for the group, calls the event a “profound misuse” of national monuments for private gain and says they want to stop the fight, the weigh‑in, and the permanent installation of the claw structure, framing it as an anti‑corruption action rather than an attack on MMA.
  • A statement from the Trump administration and event defenders calls the case an “obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit” meant to block what they describe as a historic sporting event that is comparable to other White House and National Mall events permitted under existing rules.

That’s Just Gross

Segment 4 – HelloFresh Pride ad backlash and corporate virtue‑signaling (36:00–48:00)

  • Summarize the Daily Wire coverage: a HelloFresh Pride Month ad that conservatives found “repulsive” and “sickening,” sparking calls to cancel and boycott.
  • Describe the ad’s general theme (without replaying it verbatim) and why critics say it targets kids, sexualizes identity, or crosses a line from inclusion to ideological promotion.
  • Place it in the trend of corporate Pride marketing, Bud Light, Target, and the question: are these campaigns driven by sincere belief, ESG/HR pressure, or fear of activist backlash?
  • Note the asymmetry: corporations often calculate that upsetting conservatives costs less than upsetting activist employees, media, or key coastal markets.

Episode 1210 – Doesn’t New York Have Bigger Fish to Fry?

New York has a lot of problems. But they seems to always deflect from those problems to push their woke crap.

The colleges in California, and throughout the country, are finding that a lot of kids entering their schools can’t hack it. They have and idea on how to fix it.

And I am going to talk about a couple of incidents that we’re not talking about here. But it is coming here.

Here We Go Again!

Ridiculous

This Is the Biggest Problem in New York?

According to Perplexity:

New York lawmakers have passed a bill that would systematically replace the words “mother” and “father” with gender‑neutral terms like “gestating parent” and “non‑gestating parent” in state family‑related laws, but it is not law until Governor Kathy Hochul signs it.

What the bill actually does

  • In family court, domestic relations, and related statutes, references to “mother” are replaced with “gestating parent,” and “father” with “non‑gestating parent” or simply “parent.”
  • “Paternity” proceedings (to determine a child’s legal father) are renamed “parentage” proceedings, and “putative father” becomes “alleged parent” in the statutory language.
  • The changes are largely within family‑law contexts (custody, parentage, surrogacy, same‑sex parent cases), rather than banning the everyday use of “mom” and “dad” by the public.

Status and process

  • The bill passed the New York State Assembly earlier in the year and then passed the State Senate this week, so it has cleared the legislature.
  • It now goes to Governor Hochul, who can sign it into law, veto it, or let it become law without her signature; as of the latest reports, it is awaiting her decision.

Stated rationale vs. political backlash

  • Supporters argue the update is meant to align the law with modern family structures, including same‑sex couples, surrogacy, and assisted reproduction, where “biological mother/father” may not match who is actually raising the child.
  • The bill memo says the goal is to use inclusive, gender‑neutral terminology so that all intended or functional parents are treated consistently in court.
  • Critics—particularly Republicans and conservative commentators—frame it as an ideological attempt to “erase” the traditional terms “mother” and “father,” and some local officials have publicly vowed to reverse such changes if they gain higher office.
  • In litigation, petitions and orders would refer to “gestating parent,” “non‑gestating parent,” and “parentage,” which could affect how parentage is framed in disputes over custody, support, and adoption.
  • The change dovetails with a broader trend in New York toward recognizing non‑traditional and multi‑parent arrangements (for example, confirmatory adoptions and recognizing more than two legal parents in some cases).
  • It does not on its face strip anyone of parental rights; instead it re‑labels the categories under which those rights are asserted and adjudicated. This is the slippery slope.

Well, Yeah

According to the Post Millennial:

Hundreds of University of California faculty members have signed an open letter urging faculty leaders to return to a standardized testing model for math and science applicants. The letter warns of a clear drop in math scores since the tests were abandoned.

After a 2020 legal challenge was raised by a student that argued the requirement provided an advantage to students who could afford prep services, the tests were eliminated. The group of UC Berkeley math professors sent the letter arguing that the college’s decision to abstain from test requirements created ability gaps so broad that instructors were having to teach middle-school math to college-aged students.

The professors cite concerning trends among math students in their open letter.

“Over the past five years, we have seen a widening divergence in mathematical preparation levels within the same classroom,” the letter reads. “This trend indicates that current admissions practices do not provide a sufficiently reliable check on mathematical readiness for STEM majors. The UC San Diego Senate–Administration Workgroup on Admissions report documents this crisis in stark terms: in the last five years, the number of students whose mathematics skills fall below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold; moreover, 70% of those students fall below middle school levels, reaching roughly one in twelve members of the entering cohort.”

The letter urged the need for the school system to bring back the ACT and SAT requirements as a “critical baseline” to examine whether students have the mathematical abilities required for challenging STEM coursework. It argues that schools in California can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation and AI-assisted application essays.

The professors conclude the letter with a call to action, urging the college to take four steps:

  • Reinstate SAT/ACT Requirements
  • Validate Academic Readiness
  • Establish Faculty Oversight
  • Mandate Institutional Accountability

In response to the letter penned by the UC professors, UC Academic Senate Chair Ahmet Palazoglu made the following statement:

“In light of concerns raised by UC faculty about student preparedness for undergraduate study, in March I called upon our systemwide faculty Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS) to address timely topics tied to students’ college readiness and UC’s admissions process. BOARS is in the process of proposing a roadmap of policy work and partnership-building with other state and K–12 education leaders in the next academic year and beyond.”

The dispute comes as colleges across the United States grapple with the new era of test-blind admissions. While supporters of these policies argue that the reduced restrictions expand access, there are still many who see the emerging trends as concerning.

They Ain’t Quitting

According to Reduxx:

Entrepreneur and founder of a women’s-only application has been ordered to pay $20,000, with an additional maximum of $100,000 in court fees, to a trans-identified male after he was denied access to the platform. CEO of Giggle for Girls Proprietary Limited, Sall Grover, was also found to have “discriminated” against Jason “Roxy” Tickle by recognizing him as a male in a selfie he submitted for on-boarding.

The ruling comes after more than four years of litigation, with Tickle having first filed a discrimination complaint through the Australian Human Rights Commission in December of 2021. The latest and final ruling, handed down in the Federal Court on Friday afternoon, was a response to an appeal lodged by Tickle in August 2024 to a decision made by Justice Bromwich stating that Grover was guilty of “indirect discrimination.” At the time, Grover was ordered to pay $10,000 in compensation to Tickle and to pay his court costs up to $50,000. Dissatisfied with the outcome, Tickle further pursued litigation seeking a verdict of direct discrimination.

In a shocking new development, Justice Melissa Perry sided with Tickle, doubled the compensation payout from $10,000 to $20,000, found Grover guilty of direct discrimination, and ordered her to pay court costs for Tickle up to $100,000. In her decision, Justice Perry cited the Sex Discrimination Act of 1984, which was significantly amended in 2013 to include explicit protections for “gender identity.”

More of This

According to Reduxx:

A French women’s rights activist has been found guilty of “public insult” over a remark she made during a televised debate with a trans-identified male. Dora Moutot was informed on May 20 that she had been convicted of “public insult against a person or group of people on account of their sex, sexual orientation or gender identity” due to her comment that women are “wary of people with penises.”

Moutot made the statement during an October 2022 episode of the popular talk show Quelle Époque!, where she had been invited as a guest to debate a trans-identified male named Marie Cau, the mayor of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes. While discussing the issue of men who claim to be transgender women, Moutot stated that women have a need to be cautious in the presence of “people with penises.”

In its ruling, the court argued that Moutot had reduced “transgender women” to “their male attribute.”

“By referring to them as ‘penis people’ whom ‘women’ are ‘forced to distrust’, the defendant first assigns transgender women to their penis, that is, to their male sexual attribute of birth, while denying their female gender identity since they are opposed to ‘women’, the defendant thus implicitly considering that transgender women are not women,” the verdict read.

“This statement, which in a generalizing and essentializing way denies the gender identity of those concerned and assigns them to a masculine sexual attribute by associating the latter with a state of danger for cisgender women, is outrageous towards transgender women because of their sex and their gender identity.”

Incredibly Moutot was fined €1,000, to be paid to the state, as well as the payment of €500 in damages to each of the three trans activist associations who backed Cau’s legal complaint, and an additional €2,000 to cover the court costs, which had come from public funding.
