Climate Change

Episode 786 – Welcome to Bread Lines, Chicago!

Ukraine has some very odd policy choices. I wonder why?

Be prepared to pay a ton for a car. It seems Tesla will be cheaper than the typical Ford compact soon.

And California continues to f- up its state.

Dumbasses of the Day

War? What War?

They are in the middle of a war. Why are they talking about climate change and hiring a trans cultist who isn’t Ukrainian (or even speaks Ukrainian)? Shouldn’t they be worried about their war?

The want more money. Zelensky is there, asking for another $24 billion.

The End of the American Car?

According to the Daily Wire:

The United Auto Workers announced a strike against Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, as the union demands higher wages and “economic and social justice.”

Around 13,000 auto workers stopped working as picketing began outside a Ford factory in Wayne, Michigan; a GM assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri; and a Stellantis Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio. The strike comes after weeks of negotiations between the union and leadership at the automakers. 

What is the union asking for?

  • A 40% raise.
  • Pension based pay raises.
  • Pension benefits for all tiers of worker received equally.
  • To work 32 hours a week but be paid for 40 hours.
  • Just a little FYI, the auto makers offered a 20-25% raise with inflation bumps.
  • All the other crap is nonsense.

This could be the end of the American auto industry or the end of unions. One is going to break.

Speaking of the End of an Industry

California is doing their darndest to nationalize all business.

According to Fox Business:

“The new ‘AB 1228’ legislation has been voted into law and will result in a devastating financial blow to California McDonald’s franchisees at a projected annual cost of $250,000 per McDonald’s restaurant,” the advocacy group representing some 1,000 McDonald’s franchisees said in the memo obtained by FOX Business. 

“These costs simply cannot be absorbed by the current business model.”

CNBC earlier reported on the NOA memo. 

Among the bill’s key components: 

  1. It would raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.
  2. It would apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, except for restaurants that make and sell their own bread.
  3. It would also create a 10-person council to govern fast-food chains and set guidelines for working conditions and wages.

When signing the original version of the legislation, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said, “California is committed to ensuring that the men and women who have helped build our world-class economy are able to share in the state’s prosperity. Today’s action gives hardworking fast-food workers a stronger voice and seat at the table to set fair wages and critical health and safety standards across the industry.”

I would assume that 10-person council is not going to have restaurant owners on it. This is pure fascism (bordering on communism).

People will point to the fact that it only affects franchises of 60 stores or more nationwide. That just makes the idea worse. Store owners who have 60 stores are, obviously, good with management. States should not be discouraging them to leave the state or not opening more stores in the state. It’s dumb.

This also does not help the economy. There will be more of a push to automate the business, eliminating jobs. It will raise the cost of the Big Mac which is already unreasonably high. This means less customers and more layoffs. Finally, this will close stores. Companies are not going to see the point of opening or maintaining a business if they have to pay $45 an hour to keep employees.

Last, we have forgotten the point of the fast food joint. A monkey can do that job. I know, I did it. This is a job for high school kids, not for adults trying to make ends meet. It’s for someone to gain experience so they can get a real job that pays something. If someone is at McDonald’s and not management. they shouldn’t bitch about not making any money. It is their decisions that are keeping them there and they will never be anything in society until they figure that out.

Speaking of Communism

This is straight from the Soviet, Chinese and Cuba playbook. I told you that all this crap done my democrats is part of the plan. This is part of the plan.

According to the Post Millennial:

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has revealed that the city will be partnering with the Economic Security Project to explore the creation of a government-owned grocery store in order to assist “historically underserved communities.”

“All Chicagoans deserve to live near convenient, affordable, healthy grocery options. We know access to grocery stores is already a challenge for many residents, especially on the South and West sides,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson, according to an office press release. “A better, stronger, safer future is one where our youth and our communities have access to the tools and resources they need to thrive. My administration is committed to advancing innovative, whole-of-government approaches to address these inequities. I am proud to work alongside partners to take this step in envisioning what a municipally owned grocery store in Chicago could look like.”

Johnson’s release noted it aims to promote “food equity,” and that estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture found that “63.5% of residents in West Englewood and 52% of residents in East Garfield Park live more than half a mile from their nearest grocery store, whereas in West Town less than 1% of residents experience this barrier to food access.”

This initiative, if completed, would mark Chicago becoming the first major US city to launch a government-owned grocery store to deal with “food inequity,” according to the release.

Episode 660 – Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!

Congress is in for a big fight in the coming days over the debt ceiling.

TikTok is trying to put themselves in the good graces of the government. Will it work.

And a congresswoman decides to instill racism into law.

 

This Guy Needs New Speech Writers

 

Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!

Looks like there is going to be a fight in Congress this coming Thursday. That is when the debt limit will be reached will be reached and the government will not be able to borrow anymore money. If the debt limit is not increased, the government will run out of money by June of 2023.

Republicans are against raising the debt limit because out debt is closing in on $32 trillion and we are going to have to pay that off eventually and could lose our favored status as the default currency. This will lead to austerity measure. Austerity is the process when spending stops in order to control and lower the debt. Most of the spending that is stopping is social programs such as social security, welfare and food stamps. Sometimes these measures are determined by the countries we owe our debt to. Examples of countries that have had to go through this are Greece and Spain a decade ago.

Kevin McCarthy made it very clear he is not warm to raising the debt ceiling again and we should just let the government shutdown to bring it under control. He thinks it is now time to control our spending. He said:

“This is something that people have utilized. But I ask all of you and all Americans if you have a child and you give them a credit card and they spend the limit, so you increase the limit again and again and again, when does it end? We’ve got to change the way we are spending money wastefully in this country, and we’re going to make sure that happens.

“To get a debt ceiling, they also got a cap on spending for the next two years. Spending is out of control here. There’s been no oversight, and we cannot continue around the same process.”

He’s really caught between a rock and a hard place. This is one of the things he negotiated to be Speaker of the House so he’s going to have to stand behind this.

Janet Yellen, the very untalented Treasury Secretary, sent a letter to Kevin McCarthy telling him everything will be OK, just raise the limit. In the Wall Street Journal, she wrote:

In a matter of days, millions of Americans could be strapped for cash. We could see indefinite delays in critical payments. Nearly 50 million seniors could stop receiving Social Security checks for a time. Troops could go unpaid. Millions of families who rely on the monthly child tax credit could see delays. America, in short, would default on its obligations.

This is fear mongering. Social Security checks will go out when this is over (though social security is also going to be insolvent soon). The troops will get paid. And child tax credits and other giveaways by the government is the problem. Those need to stop.

The U.S. has never defaulted. Not once. Doing so would likely precipitate a historic financial crisis that would compound the damage of the continuing public health emergency. Default could trigger a spike in interest rates, a steep drop in stock prices and other financial turmoil. Our current economic recovery would reverse into recession, with billions of dollars of growth and millions of jobs lost.

The government caused the damage during the pandemic. And, news flash, the pandemic is over not matter what the government says.

The interest rates are already spiking. Why? Because of all the spending has caused inflation and raising the interest rates is the only way to control it. By the way, we spent $6.18 for eggs this weekend.

Finally, we are going into a recession whether the debt ceiling is raised or not. That’s because of inflation, the raising of the interest rates to control inflation, the supply chain crisis and all the BS regulations Biden is throwing out there.

We would emerge from this crisis a permanently weaker nation. For about a century, America’s creditworthiness has been a major advantage over our economic competitors. We can borrow more cheaply than almost any other country, and defaulting would jeopardize this enviable fiscal position. It would also make America a more expensive place to live, as the higher cost of borrowing would fall on consumers. Mortgage payments, car loans, credit card bills — everything that is purchased with credit would be costlier after default.

What she doesn’t get, or does and is just lying, is we are a weaker nation because of all this spending and everything is going up in price already because of their stupid policies.

Hey, I don’t care if the government stays open. F-em. Let them shut down and not get paid for a couple of months. Shut down welfare and  food stamps. Shut the IRS and EPA down. I’m good with it. Because here’s the reality, all this is going to happen whether we like it or not if we don’t get the debt and spending under control.

More Needs to be Done About This

TikTok has been getting a lot of crap about the content they allow and their data collection practices. Mind you, this is an application from China. They are not even hiding what they’re doing. Unfortunately for them, the government is beginning to see what they are doing and they are responding. They have banned all federal employees from having the app on government phones. Other states are going out of their way to ban the app altogether.

TikTok is trying to remake their image now that their bottom line is being affected.

According to the Daily Wire:

TikTok officials disclosed negotiation details with U.S. lawmakers in a $1.5 billion plan that would reportedly increase transparency and reorganize how it operates in the U.S. amid national security concerns about the Chinese-owned social media giant.

Communication between the video-sharing app and the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment, which oversees how TikTok would operate in America, has been kept under wraps, The Wall Street Journal reported, as at least 25 states have placed restrictions and bans on the app on government-owned devices over data privacy and national security threats.

TikTok officials told The Wall Street Journal that the company believes the proposal would address such concerns, including “content recommendation and user-data access with layers of government and independent oversight.”

Wow, we can trust them now. They say that they will be more transparent. I believe that’s going to happen. They say they are going to take national security into consideration. I believe that’s going to happen.

Listen, TikTok needs to go away. It should be banned in this country. It is a spy tool for the Chinese government. It is a propaganda tool to change the behavior of our children. They don’t even have the same version in China. I got rid of TikTok, though I rarely used it. My kids don’t use it and even Josie’s kids have stopped using it.

It needs to go away.

That Will Solve the Crime Problem

Sheila Jackson Lee of the House has decided to go full racist and codify it into law.

According to the Daily Wire:

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) filed legislation last week to codify “conspiracy to commit white supremacy” in federal hate crime laws.

The Leading Against White Supremacy Act, introduced days after the beginning of the new Congress, would enable the Department of Justice to prevent “violent activity” in relation to white supremacy ideology. The bill does not define white supremacy. Nevertheless, it adds “white supremacy based motivation against any person” to existing statutes that already introduce penalties for crimes perpetrated against another person because of “race, color, religion, or national origin.”

The bill defines “conspiracy to engage in white supremacy inspired hate crime” as an activity “between two or more persons engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime.” At least one of the two or more conspirators must have published material advancing “white supremacist ideology,” “replacement theory,” or any “hate speech” directed against non-white groups on social media or other platforms where the content could be “viewed by persons who are predisposed to engaging in any action in furtherance of a white supremacy inspired hate crime.”

Here she is, introducing the bill:

Alright, this law is not going to pass. If it, by some miracle, does pass, it will not get through the courts. It is unconstitutional. But should be talked about and called out for what it is, racism against white people.

There are a bunch of problems with this law:

  • It is thought crime. Someone just has to say something that can be construed as white supremacist and they can be arrested.
  • This is a violation of the First Amendment.
  • A crime committed by someone else can get someone with an unacceptable opinion charged.
  • This only applies to white people.
  • Who defines what is and isn’t hate speech? I bet it’s Sheila Jackson Lee.
  • What is violent activity? Is it actually violence or is it that “words are violent” thing.

What this really shows is how stupid these representative are. They are so unaware of who they are. This bill should be condemned as racist by everyone. They should be calling Jackson Lee a racist. She should not be in Congress. But Republicans are cowards.

Episode 655 – Their Motivations Are Too Transparent

Today, we are going to talk about something very uncomfortable. We are going to talk about Malthusianism, eugenics and the “climate crisis”. It may seem weird that I’m talking about this but we 1,200are beginning to hear and see things that are pushed that could change our lives, the lives of our children and for generations after.

I also want you to think about things that are being pushed in our society. Abortion, trans-ing the kids, drug legalization, homelessness and euthanasia. Though we might be able to see the relation between climate change and these terrible policies, they are related, they are being pushed and, now, the elites are saying right out and have been for several decades.

Let’s take a look at this stuff.

 

The Philosophy

There are a couple of concepts we need o talk about.

Malthusianism

Malthusianism is a philosophy by an economist named Thomas Malthus in 1798. It is also known as the “Malthusian trap”, “the population trap, and the “Malthusian check”.

The main idea with Malthusianism is that the population of the world is increasing exponentially but our food supply is linear. As the population will grow, the population will run out of food and a substantial part of the population would end up starving to death. Malthus believed there was very little we could do because, even with the advent of technology that improved food production, the human population would grow faster. He did believe that if the population could not be controlled through abstinence (Malthus was a Christian and didn’t believe in artificial contraception), we would have no choice but to let certain population die off.

With the onset of the industrial revolution, food production increased substantially. Anti-Malthusians believe this was proof that Malthusianism was bunk and shouldn’t be taken seriously. But neo-Malthusians believed there were tons of evidence that the Malthusian trap was still alive and well. They said that poverty, pollution, hunger is poor countries and the increase of the population was still proof that the trap was still alive and well. Neo-Malthusians believed that the best way to deal with over-population was to use birth control.

Enter eugenics.

Eugenics

According to history.com:

Eugenics is the practice or advocacy of improving the human species by selectively mating people with specific desirable hereditary traits. It aims to reduce human suffering by “breeding out” disease, disabilities and so-called undesirable characteristics from the human population. Early supporters of eugenics believed people inherited mental illness, criminal tendencies and even poverty, and that these conditions could be bred out of the gene pool.

The term was coined by Sir Francis Galton in 1883.

It became popular in the United States in 1903. The United States made it illegal for people with epilepsy and those who were mentally slow to get married and have children.

According to history.com:

John Harvey Kellogg, of Kellogg’s cereal fame, organized the Race Betterment Foundation in 1911 and established a “pedigree registry.” The foundation hosted national conferences on eugenics in 1914, 1915 and 1928.

New World Order?

The climate crisis is suppose to be the biggest disaster in the history of the world. We must do something about it according to the Left. Every time there’s a weather event, it’s proof that the world is pissed and is going to kill us. Unfortunately for them, a lot of scientists do not think it is that big of a deal. But it’s OK because those scientists are either censored or just ignored.

California is going through a major series of storms. This is because of a phenomenon called “El Nino”. Warm water comes from Mexico because the currents change every four or five years heading to Northern Californian waters which are cold. When you mix warm water and cold water, evaporation occurs creating clouds with really high humidity. The clouds are pushed to the land and it starts raining on land.

The rain continues southward, typically along the coast and it rains until the system is back in Mexico. This crap happens every three or four years and I have seen it since I was a kid, which was in the 1970s.

Well, we are in the middle of a brutal El Nino in California. It has been raining pretty hard for the last two weeks and we are looking at another week of rain. San Francisco is completely flooded. Here San Francisco mayor, London Breed, blaming…what?…the climate crisis:

Some things:

  • As far as drought conditions, El Nino is too extreme every year. Also, California is a very temperate desert. We have lots of rain sometimes. We don’t don’t have any rain, most of the time. The weather in California is the most consistent in the country.
  • Meteorologists know if there is a glitch in the matrix when in comes to El Nino. They call it every year.
  •  By the way, the drought conditions have not been historic.
  • Wild fire are caused by bad forest management. While President, Donald Trump embarrassed Gavin Newsom by pointing this out.
  • Noticed Breed screwed up? She said, “global warming” and corrected herself by calling it a “climate crisis”. She did this because the rest of the country is at -10 F.
  • Finally, this is the climate crisis conclusion. Money. More money.
    • They can fix this with money. Give us money.
    • Let me get this straight:
      • The haven’t fixed the drug problem with more money.
      • They haven’t fixed the mental health crisis with more money.
      • They haven’t fixed the homelessness problem with more money.
      • But they are going to fix the weather? No. No more money.

Here’s Greta Thunberg. Here, she’s being interviewed by the BBC about how kids should deal with the climate crisis and what she thinks about it. It’s a long clip but it is so stupid, I don’t want to skip anything. Listen:

Some things:

  • She is a child. Any parent that listens to this dumb bitch about parenting paranoid children, the parents are part of the problem.
  • She’s actually not really a child. I could f- her and it would be completely legal.
  • This broad hasn’t been in school since she was eight years old. I hardly think she could educate herself on anything.
    • Did I mention she has Asperger’s Syndrome?
    • Did I mention she has OCD?
    • Why is anyone taking advice from someone who is impaired?

As “retarded” as Greta is, no one drops the ball like Bill Gates. This was from a Ted Talk from twelve years ago. He, accidently, lets the cat out of the bag when it comes to the climate. Listen:

I watched the entire Ted Talk and then I watched a lot of apologists. Let’s just say he meant what he said. Not just from this video but from the other videos he said the same thing.

He is a huge fan of the World Economic Forum fan. He likes the thought of the Great Reset and is a supporter of Malthusianism. Many say he’s not but he has said it way too many times to be ignored.

Finally, here is Jane Goodall, the chick that loves monies. She had something to say about human beings and the environment. By the way, she was talking at the World Economic Forum.

We now have 8 billion people on Earth. She wants to know down to about 500 million. Bet she won’t be one of the people that gets put into the mulch machine.

Him Again?

The CBS television show 60 Minutes decided to jump on the climate bandwagon in the most Malthusian way they possible could by bringing on a dinosaur that promises that we are all going to die within the next 15 minutes if we do not kill capitalism, live by eating bugs and get rid of everything that makes life convenient.

His name is Paul Ehrlich and he wrote a book in 1968 called The Population Bomb which says that people are causing the destruction of the Earth and we are all going to die. Before we get into his book, let’s take a look at a couple of things he said on 60 Minutes then talk a little about his history and how wrong he is and has been.

He’s been saying this BS for the last 50 years. Of course, none of this is true. In fact, we have more food now, due to technology than we have ever had. The Federalist also pointed out that the average life expectancy when Ehrlich was born was 61. Life expectancy is now 78 and he is 90.

“Changing the systems” is his goal.

Here he is lamenting the fact the most countries aren’t listening to his doom talk:

Most countries don’t buy his crap because his crap is crazy. People do not want to go back to living in the dark. People like the innovation that has raised the wealth of most people more than any other civilization in recorded time.

Also, most scientists think he is a freak. They don’t hold the same opinions as he does.

Then, the narrator goes off on how we are consuming three times the resources. What he doesn’t mention is we are producing ten times the resources due to technology.

Throughout this fifteen minute story, not once did CBS have a countering point. It was all just doom and gloom.

Let’s go over some of his claims he made in the 1970s (from the Federalist):

“The battle to feed all of humanity is over,” the opening line of “The Population Bomb” reads. “In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now,” Ehrlich wrote. It was likely, he went on, that the oceans would be without life by 1979 and the United States would see its population plummet to 23 million by 1999 due to pesticides. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years,” he famously told Mademoiselle in 1970.

He was wrong about everything. None of his theories came to light and are still nowhere to be seen on the horizon fifty years later. But people like Al Gore, AOC and Greta Thunberg keep spouting this same philosophy. But they do something different because Ehrlich made one huge mistake: he wasn’t vague about when this stuff would happen. He gave dates. No environmentalist give dates anymore. Something will happen in the next 10 to 20 years and, when it doesn’t happen, people will not remember. Al Gore has been doing this since 2000.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/01/03/domestic-violence-climate-change-umoja/

 

Why Is This Important?

Is it the goal of Greta Thunberg, Al Gore, Joe Biden, Barrack Obama, the WEF, the WHO or the UN to end global warming? The answer is a resounding, “no”.

Climate change is just an excuse to create a new world order. Klaus Schwab said in his books. It is a way for the elites to change the way we live, what we own, change our behavior and control the world economy and the social order. If it was about climate change, why won’t any of these people go after China or India? Both countries produce way more carbon than the United States. The reason is because the United States, through the Constitution, acknowledges and protects God-given human rights. Freedom of speech, of religion. Freedom to bear arms. A population that believes in all that cannot be controlled.

The reason Klaus Schwab celebrated COVID is because the lockdowns showed we could be controlled in this country. That’s what made the lockdowns so dangerous. They trained us. Many, like me, think they will do the same thing in the name of climate change. In many ways, it’s already happening. High gas prices, supply chain failures, airline shortages, energy shortages and food shortages are the “new normal”.

There is also the “need” to shrink the population. Abortion. trans-ing kids. The push for homosexuality. Drug legalization. Euthanasia. All this is to shrink the population. This accomplishes two thing: a smaller population is easier to control and monitor, and it breaks down a civilization.

Episode 97 Show Notes – Big Brother (or Sister) is Watching!

Happy Veteran’s Day! I wish all the veterans out their the best and give you all my thanks.

The Supreme Court has a huge case tomorrow and it should be a slam dunk win for Trump. A big oops foe ABC and CBS. Kamala Harris not only jailed everyone when she was attorney general of California but now she wants to jail your kids. Guess if she can’t throw criminals in jail, why not kids?

Finally, San Francisco is using Orwell’s greatest anti-hero to control their people. I’ll let you guess what the subject is.

To the Supreme Court

Finally, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) will be heard by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

DACA was an executive order implemented by Barrack Obama in 2012 and gave legal status to 700,000 illegal aliens who came over before the age of 16. The Obama administration tried to justify it by as a ” policy of nonenforcement for so-called Dreamers as an exercise of prosecutorial discretion.” That’s an important statement.

Trump, as an election promise, said he would end programs like this and signed an Executive Order doing so. This would make it illegal to be in this country illegally. Yeah, I just said that. The statuses of the “Dreamers” would be changed back to their illegal status.

I have several thoughts here.

The first is that what Obama did do was illegal and really overstepped his authority. Congress made the immigration laws. King Obama, with his pen and on his own authority, decided to tell law enforcement to ignore the laws created by Congress during the Bush administration.

Also, Trump has every right to cancel an Executive Order by another President. In fact, he’s been doing it since he got elected.

This should be a 9-0 vote by the Supreme Court. It won’t be. It’ll probably be a 6-3, maybe 5-4.

Here’s what’s weird and always forgotten: Trump and most Republicans want DACA.

No one wants to send a child back to Mexico when’s he’s been in this country for most of his life and the only things he did was be dragged here by his parents. Most of these people do work, get educations and are productive in society.

But it’s got to be done legally and through Congress.

A Big Oops for ABC and CBS

The identity of the “whistleblower” who exposed that ABC knew about the Jeffrey Epstein story and then conspired with CBS to have her fired spoke out. Ashley Biaco, interview by Megyn Kelly, was adamant that she had nothing to do with the leak.

Have you ever heard that it is almost impossible to prove that you didn’t do something? Guess what? The proof of her innocence just wrote a letter to Project Veritas explaining himself.

Oh, yeah, it’s a man and he still works at ABC.

To my fellow man:

I came forward with this information bearing no motives other than to have this information public. I did not and do not seek any personal gain from this information whether it be financial or otherwise and will always decline. When I became aware of this moment, I had the same reaction as many of you did. Anger, confusion and sadness. I care not about petty political quarrels and only hope for the best in all of us.

To my fellow ABC News employees:

I’ve walked the halls experiencing similar feelings we are all having right now. All of you regardless of your own personal differences in one form or another do an outstanding job. I sincerely enjoy working with each and every one of you and will continue to do so throughout our careers.

To those wrongfully accused:

It is terrible that you have been lashed out at by the company. I know some may put the burden of guilt on me, but my conscience is clear. The actions of the company towards you are the result of their own and not anyone else. The public outcry, from coast to coast, of all people, creeds, and political affiliations, is clear. I have not one doubt that there will always be support for you, and you will have prosperous careers. For neither you, nor I, have done anything wrong.

To Amy Robach:

You are the only person deserving of an apology. I am most certainly sorry. Not for my actions or for this to center around you, but for what is clear to have happened. When I first stumbled across this, my initial reaction was outrage. But this soon turned towards empathy. I can not imagine doing all the hard work to only have it shelved. If the past few years have taught us anything, it is the truth that some of us have endured many hardships in this industry. From the spiking of stories regarding prominent and powerful people in this world, and to yours. I believe you are an outstanding reporter and have done such tremendous work in the community as well.

To ABC News:

I sit right here with you all in complete shock. I, like many, are at a loss for words on how this has been handled. Instead of addressing this head-on like the company has in the past, it has spun into a mission of seek-and-destroy. Innocent people that have absolutely nothing to do with this are being hunted down as if we are all a sport. I challenge all of you to actually look inwards and remember why this company engages in journalism. We all hold the First Amendment at the foundation of this company, yet forget its history,  its purpose, and its reasoning for even coming into existence to begin with. How lost we are… yearning to be found. I went to Project Veritas for the sole reason that any other media outlet else would have probably shelved this as well. I thank all of them, and James, for seeking truth.

We are all human and mortal, creatures of mistakes and redemption.

The road to redemption favors no soul.

Sincerely,

Book’em, Danno

Kamala Harris, who you may not know is running for President, is trying to get attention. So what better idea than to come up with another bad, albeit original, idea.

Harris wants to extend the school day for children from 8-3 PM to 8-6 PM. She wants to do this to help working parents who require finding child care so they can do their jobs.

According to the Houghington Pose, the Family Friendly School Act would create a pilot program distributing up to $5 million in funding to 500 elementary schools over five years to provide “enrichment” activities to students that extend past the normal school hours. That program would then evaluate the success and begin to expand the program after.

The program, unsurprisingly, is supported by the American Federation of Teachers union and the National Women’s Law Center.

Kamala Tweeted:

The key words in this is “justice for students.” What does that even mean? Making stay in school for an additional three hours is “justice?” I guess our kids don’t hate school enough. Let’s give them more. Personally, I think if we want to provide “justice”for the kids, we should have to home school them, give them choice and opportunity through charter schools and abolish the teach’s unions so we can fire the crappy teachers and replace them with honest teachers. Our kids in the public school cannot read, write, do math or understand science. That’s justice.

There’s one thing our children are getting enough of it’s social justice, a sense of entitlement and the lack of discipline that people need in order to survive in the real world. I doubt the “education” the children get through these “enrichment” programs is nothing more than more indoctrination.

I know kids in public school (not naming names). These kids understand climate change and gender differences than they know about how to construct an understandable sentence. Here’s some homework for you. Don’t worry, It’s not hard. Listen to people when they speak, and count how many people end their sentences with ‘at,” “with” or “for.” The worst part of common speech today is one who end his sentence with a preposition. That’s because I spent high school and college learning not to do it.

How about math? Next time, at a restaurant and before ordering, ask your kids to listen to the orders of the family and guess the amount of the bill (by the way, “of” is a preposition). And play with them. Bet you win. That’s not good, they should be able to add faster than you. At the end, exclude tax, and see who comes closest to the subtotal.

For an extra exercise, have them calculate a 15% tip from the total. That’s called being a parent. It’s hard and you will beat your kids. That’s fine, forget about their self-esteem. What builds self-esteem is accomplishment. It’s not something that’s given. Failure is part of life and it’s a good thing. It’s how we learn.

By the way, helping your kid through failure so that he learns is being a parent.

Big Brother is Watching

I’m going to quote this from Emily Zanotti from the Daily Wire because she sums it up best:

“A massive mural of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is going up on a building in downtown San Francisco in an effort to force citizens of the Bay Area to think critically about their contribution to global climate change.”

I’m going to say things about a 16 year old that may not be popular. I don’t care. She’s vile, insulting, uneducated and arrogant. Deal with it. I will give her this: she’s emotionally abused and probably believes everything she is saying. Her cowardly, over dramatic, pseudo-parents have indoctrinated her and are probably making a mint off of her so maybe my criticism is directed at them.

First off, this little girl is not normal. She suffers from autism and OCD. So her eyes are not developed and her lips look to be in a droop, even when she smiles. But this 60 by 30 foot mural really makes her look creepy. Because it is so realistic.

But, creepier still, is the stare of the mural. It is reminiscent of the movie released in 1084 called, you guessed it, 1984, based on the book by George Orwell. Big Brother, or, in this case, Little Sister, is watching you.

San Francisco is lost. Not only are the putting up an effigy of Big Brother for the same reason Orwell created awe inspiring image to scare us from totalitarianism, but they used a 16 year old, mentally deficient  icon from another country. That’s because the youth is the future and we should feel guilty. That’s because, being deficient makes her a victim that we need to listen to her. And Europe is so much awesome than the United States.

I do have a question though. The guy of painted the mural is from Argentina (what a shock). Did he think maybe this Big Brother thing would have had more of an impact in India, where they can land planes due to the thickness of the smog.

Naw.

Bring in the Clowns!

The Presidential Impeachment inquiry is heating up. Apparently there is a second whistleblower. President Trump might be making a huge mistake in Syria. Rashida Tlaib continues to be an idiot showing her racism and her lack of knowledge of the law. AoC gets trolled at her town hall.

And I am never going to get to the Joker movie. But I’m going to see it so I’ll wait till then.

 

The Impeachment Drum Keeps Plodding On

So, today, a second whistleblower complaint has been released. This time, this guy has first hand knowledge of the conversation between Trump and the President of Ukraine. Oooooo (I say in a menacing tone). I don’t care if there are twenty whistleblower complaints, Trump released the complaint and the transcripts of the conversation. Secretary of State Pompeo was on the call and said there was no quid pro quo. The President of Ukraine said there was no quid pro quo. The ambassador to Ukraine said there was not quid pro quo.

Guess what? I’m not interested in this story and it’s falling apart. Apparently, this guy not only had no direct knowledge but he also approached an Adam Schiff minion. He also is from the CIA (probably John Brennan fan) and is a registered democrat. He is represented by Mark Zaid, a whisteblower protection attorney and is representing the second whistleblower, does not have his political affiliation public but he is a commentator for CNN and MSNBC so go figure.

President Trump is being President Trump. He is trolling the media by declaring that China should investigate Hunter Biden during and impromptu press conference. The media is flipping out that he is asking for favors from China. But that’s not the big thing. President Trump sent a letter to Nancy “Chmpers” Pelosi stating that he would not turn over anymore documentation unless she holds a vote on the impeachment inquiry. Needless to say, Chompers doesn’t want to do this because a vote of yes on an unpopular impeachment inquiry could expose vulnerable democrats in red districts. In other words, she may not have the votes. The democrats keep saying that this is unprecedented but they’re lying. There have been two impeachment inquiries (one in the 1860s which was a very different time): Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Both inquiries were voted on. Nancy Pelosi decided to unilaterally declare an impeachment inquiry. So there is precedent.

Good for Trump there.

 

Bad Trump

President Trump has decided to pull U.S. troops out of Northern Syria. Not good. Obama did the same thing in Iraq and along came ISIS. This is a bad call. And he’s going to have a fight from both democrats and republicans. Even Lindsey Graham cautiously warned that this was a bad idea.

Why is it a bad idea? We were in northern Syria to protect the Kurds. The Kurds are a liberal sect of Islam that rejects the extremest Islam beliefs or even conservative Islam. They have bands of female fighters in their military. And they win fights! They are the only group that has been able to beat down Al Quiada, ISIS and the Syrian military. They are feared. But it is a very small group. They will be overwhelmed and eliminated. Turkey has been wanting to invade northern Syria since the Syrian civil war started. They hate the Kurds. The didn’t because of the United States presence.

We will lose our foothold in the Middle East. Right now, Russia and Iran on are the side of the evil Syrian government. Iran is also financing Al Queda. Iran is the Joker of the Middle East; trying to create chaos. The United States does not need to keep ten thousand troops in Syria. Only enough, even less than five hundred, to influence things. We have a pretty powerful military. Other countries fear us.

We weaken allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia. If Iran is fighting in Syria, they ain’t looking at Israel or Saudi Arabia. War is expensive and Iran is struggling because of the U.S. sanctions. We need to not make it easy for them. They hate the Kurds too.

Trump is an isolationist. He doesn’t want troops abroad. I get that. But it is necessary sometimes. I have a feeling he threw that out there. I have a feeling Benjamin Netanyahu and other republicans like Lindsey Graham will teach him a thing or two. Let’s just see what happens.

Guys, It’s Just A Comic Book

Joker is coming out. And it looks awesome. Joaquin Phoenix looks creepy, scary and awesome! He’s probably the best actor of our generation. Watch the trailer.

The movie Joker is being released this weekend and there has been a lot of controversy. The movie is a prequel covering the rise of the Joker from the Batman series. The movie is suppose to be very violent which makes it stand out from the other comic book movies. But this is not unheard of. The Dark Night trilogy, also involving Batman and the Joker, were also violent, disturbing and very dark. But this movie was different because the film led the viewers to have empathy for the Joker. The viewer is suppose to feel sorry for him. He was bullied, socially awkward and rejected by the institutions that he wanted to be embraced by.

The fear of this movie is that

The director of Joker, Todd Phillips, said that the woke scolds are destroying movies. If you don’t know who Todd Phillips is, he’s my hero. He was directly involved in irreverent comedies such as Old School and the Hangover series. He said about the controversy:

“Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture. There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore — I’ll tell you why, because all the f—ing funny guys are like, ‘F— this s—, because I don’t want to offend you. It’s hard to argue with 30 million people on Twitter. You just can’t do it, right? So you just go, ‘I’m out.’ I’m out, and you know what? With all my comedies – I think that what comedies in general all have in common – is they’re irreverent.”

Things I thought about:

The attack on art in the name of political correctness.

The reason art is here in the first place. It makes us think. This is the problem of the woke scolds: They don’t want a conversation.

Entertainment is getting really bad.

I will be seeing this movie.

Podcast #71 Show Notes: Stop Screaming!

Nothing is going to make me embrace climate change like having kids yelling at me. Oh wait, no it won’t.

 

The Climate Strike

About two hundred kids got together in Washington DC this past weekend and had a climate strike. What is a climate strike? Not sure. It’s the weekend and the kids obviously don’t have jobs so I’m not sure what they are striking. But after watching the children and their speeches, I think the climate strike is a series of speeches where the little whipper-snappers just start yelling into the microphone and hating adults. Here a clip from some of the speeches courtesy of the Daily Caller:

There are a few things to get out of this.

First it’s all the fault of their parents and other adults. You know, the ones who but their food, give them shelter and keep them clothed. They are also blaming the previous generations that gave the iPhone that they are taking their selfies with. And the one that gave them Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so they could post those selfies. And the Internet that allowed them to look up all the overblown BS that they are spouting. And text messaging that allows them to send each other messages bitching about how bad their lives are.

Next, they gave nothing. All they did was scream and yell and stamp their feet and blame their parents. They didn’t talk about the science. Probably because they don’t really know what the science is. They didn’t give any solutions. They told us they would fix this mess but have no ideas on how they’re going to fix it. They did mention the Green New Deal but that doesn’t explain how it’s going to fix anything. They didn’t use reason. They restated the problem (which doesn’t help anything) and used emotion. Which should be expected because they’re kids!

Finally, why these kids in Washington DC? Go to China. Go to India. They are currently beating the United States. China by three times. Because the United States has cut its emissions. China and India, on the other hand, has doubles their C)2 emissions. Oh, I know why they don’t go. First they’ll have to fly next because they’ll be thrown in jail being accused of being spies.

OK, so there are a few things that we’ve learned from this:

  1. Kids are dumb. Their prefrontal cortexes are not developed which is why they are so emotional and can’t reason for crap. Heck, if we based voting on their prefrontal cortex, they wouldn’t be voting until 25.
  2. They shouldn’t be voting. See above.
  3. They do not have any idea how good they have it. These kids, who probably have a thousand dollar iPhone with a cracked screen in their back pocket, appreciate nothing.I have a tough life but I appreciate all I have.
  4. Finally, our kids are brainwashed. Our public schools are indoctrinating them. Our news media is confirming the indoctrination. And Hollywood is bringing emotional confirmation. Ugh!

 

But that wasn’t the idiocy of the week. Let’s talk about Greta Thunberg.

 

Greta Thunberg

This is the biggest load of crap I’ve heard all week. And I’m going to tear this up, line by line, because this little girl, who is a high-functioning autistic with OCD, is about to win a Nobel Peace Prize. I might be violating the Dave Rule tonight.
