Episode 865 – I Thought He Cut the Deficit?

Joe Biden is so proud of cutting the deficit, he decided it was time to increase it.

New York has quietly passed a law that will eliminate one of their signature cuisines. This is what Leftism does. It destroys, it never creates.

And one of our elites has decided she’s way too important to be held responsible for anything.

Ungood!

Inflation is going to kill the Biden administration. Here is some of the news from the Wall Street Journal:

  • Consumer prices rose 3.2% in February from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, up slightly from economists’ expectations of 3.1%.
  • The second straight month of firmer-than-expected inflation is likely to reinforce the central bank’s wait-and-see posture toward rate reductions when officials meet next week.
  • Core prices, which exclude food and energy items in an effort to better track inflation’s underlying trend, rose 0.4% from January—more than the 0.3% economists expected.
  • Core prices were up 3.8% from a year earlier.
  • The report showed prices for energy goods rose 3.6% from a month earlier, a reflection of the rise in gasoline prices last month.
  • Services prices remained elevated, rising 0.5% from January, and 5% from a year earlier.

Dumbass of the Day

I Thought He Cut the Deficit?

According to the New York Times:

President Biden proposed a $7.3 trillion budget on Monday packed with tax increases on corporations and high earners, new spending on social programs and a wide range of efforts to combat high consumer costs like housing and college tuition.

The proposal includes only relatively small changes from the budget plan Mr. Biden submitted last year, which went nowhere in Congress, though it reiterates his call for lawmakers to spend about $100 billion to strengthen border security and deliver aid to Israel and Ukraine.

Most of the new spending and tax increases included in the fiscal year 2025 budget again stand almost no chance of becoming law this year, given that Republicans control the House and roundly oppose Mr. Biden’s economic agenda. Last week, House Republicans passed a budget proposal outlining their priorities, which are far afield from what Democrats have called for.

He is proposing a corporate tax hike to 21% for business and wants to raise taxes on anyone earning $400K or higher.

This will not pass through Congress. He did the same thing last year, calling for a $6 trillion budget. This didn’t make it either.

He plans to use this as a campaign pledge to show the difference between him and Trump. I would take that challenge if I were Trump and explain that the government sucks at handling your money.

It’s Finally Happened

According to the New York Post:

New York City has quietly approved a controversial green plan to require pizzerias and matzah bakeries using decades-old wood- and coal-fired stoves to cut their smoky pollutants by 75%.

Mayor Eric Adams’ Department of Environmental Protection said the fresh edict takes effect April 27, with some city businesses having already coughed up more than $600,000 for new smoke-eating systems in anticipation of the expected mandate.

“You are going after pizza? Glorious New York pizza?” groused Mike Dabin in a recent online comment to the city DEP. “Can’t you go after Diesel Trucks instead of pizza ovens?”

Businesses using wood and anthracite stoves can apply for a variance but need evidence to prove they are unable to comply with the mandate.

Pizza lovers and some entrepreneurs went bonkers when The Post first reported on the proposed rule last summer, worried that the dough needed to comply with the measure would put beloved spots out of business — or at least affect the taste of their tomato and mozzarella slices.

Some Are More Equal Than Other

According to the New York Post:

Soap star Haley Pullos has blamed another driver for a wrong-way car crash that led to her DUI arrest — and asked a judge to dismiss his civil lawsuit over serious injuries.

Pullos, 25, known for playing Molly Lansing-Davis on “General Hospital,” was allegedly under the influence in April 2023 when she drove into oncoming traffic on a Pasadena freeway, flying over a barrier and slamming into the other car.

The actress denied responsibility for the crash and asked the Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss driver Courtney Wilder’s civil lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.

She argued that “the damages” were “proximately caused by either the sole negligent and/or intentional conduct of plaintiffs,” and that his recovery costs, “if any, should be reduced by an amount proportionate to the amount by which plaintiffs’ negligent.”

The “Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia” alum further claimed that any damages were out of her control and demanded all claims to be dismissed, according to the news outlet.

There’s more to this story:

  • When firefighters freed the actress from the wreck, she allegedly became “violent” and shouted, “This is a $400 f–king shirt!”
  • Police reportedly discovered weed edibles and mini bottles of tequila inside Pullos’ car and authorities said she had the “smell of alcohol on her breath, slurred speech, and watery eyes.”
  • She also was accused of driving the wrong way on the freeway.
  • The police said Pullos swerved, flew over the divider, and into oncoming traffic. She crashed headfirst into Wilder’s car while driving 60 MPH.
  • The victim claimed he suffered serious internal injuries in the crash that required him to be transported to the ER and have emergency surgery.
  • He was in the hospital for weeks and is going to require more surgery.

This is a clear case of elite privilege.

Episode 864 – He Can’t Even Apologize Right

Joe Biden has his State of the Union address on Thursday. Unsurprisingly, he had to apologize for something he said over the weekend.

The border crisis is so bad it might be time to go after Mexico before there are more dead Americans.

And a brutal assault in St. Louis really has to make us think about what we are doing wrong with our children.

Dumbass of the Day

A Mess of It All Around

Joe Biden had his State of the Union speech last week. It went about as well as could be expected.

There was one part that got him into a lot of trouble from everywhere.

Yes, he was bullied into talking about it.

Yes, he mispronounced Laken Reilly’s name.

Yes, his statement about thousands being killed by illegals didn’t make any sense.

No, there is no parallel to his son’s death and the death of Laken Reilly.

None of this is why he apologized.

According to the Daily Wire:

President Joe Biden apologized over the weekend for calling the illegal alien who allegedly murdered a young woman in Georgia an “illegal” during his recent State of the Union speech.

The young woman — 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley — was brutally murdered allegedly by Venezuelan national Jose Ibarra, who is reportedly an active gang member.

Biden faced significant blowback from Democrats for correctly calling Ibarra an “illegal,” which comes as the party tries to court the millions of illegal aliens who have entered the U.S. under Biden.

Here is what he said:

He has a little more important things to apologize than by calling the illegal alien and illegal alien.

Couple of other things:

  • The murderer was illegal.
  • The murderer committed multiple crimes before committing murder.
  • The illegal alien murderer does not deserve respect.
  • Trump said illegal aliens were poisoning the blood of the country. They are.
  • Illegal aliens did not build the country.
  • Illegal aliens are not improving the economy.

This man is going to maintain political correctness until he loses the election.

Time to Deal with Mexico

According to Fox News:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is warning agents to be on the lookout for members of a notorious Venezuelan prison gang coming across the southern border — just as the socialist country is refusing to take its citizens back. 

A CBP source provided Fox News with an internal CBP intelligence bulletin revealing tattoos and identifiers for Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang. Members of that gang have been entering the U.S. illegally through the southern border.

Fox News reported this week that the brother of the suspect in the killing of Georgia student Laken Riley has ties to the gang. Both the suspect and his brother are Venezuelans who entered the U.S. illegally.

Federal authorities have been warning that the gang, also known as TdA and known for its violent turf wars as it expanded into other countries in South and Central America, is trying to establish itself in the U.S., where police are already linking it to organized crime. The FBI has also warned that the gang could team up with the bloodthirsty MS-13.

Last month two suspects in the assault of two NYPD officers were revealed to be members of TdA.

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To

According to the Post Millennial:

Police in St Louis, Missouri have arrested a teenage girl in connection to the brutal beating of a student from Hazelwood East High School.

On Saturday, police arrested a 15-year-old girl in connection to the beating of the student, according to Fox 2. The girl who was beaten, with assailants smashing her head against the concrete three times, has been identified as Kailee in previous reports. She is in critical condition.

The graphic video of the incident showed a black teenage girl involved in the incident repeatedly hitting the head of a white girl on the concrete. The video has since gone viral on social media.

Hazelwood School district made a statement about the incident, saying, “It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt. Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children. The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved, and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need.” 

“We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children. Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community,” the statement added. 

I want to point something out that was brought to my attention by Libs of TikTok: In Hazelwood East High School, the district who won a DEI award in 2022 and the school where students beat a girl who’s now in critical condition, just 5% of students are proficient in Math and just 21% in reading.

Some things:

  • The assaulted girl was white and the bully was black.
  • This was not racial. The video shows a black girl defending the white girl and black boys fighting.
  • This shows a problem with our children and how we are raising them.
    • No father.
    • No God.
    • We are all victims. No hope.
    • Race may be a part of that issue.

Until we handle the social problems of this society, none of this will ever be fixed.

I’m Sure All Will Be Fine

According to CNN:

One German man has redefined “man on a mission.” A 62-year-old from Magdeburg deliberately got 217 Covid-19 vaccine shots in the span of 29 months, according to a new study, going against national vaccine recommendations. That’s an average of one jab every four days.

In the process, he became a walking experiment for what happens to the immune system when it is vaccinated against the same pathogen repeatedly. A correspondence published Monday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases outlined his case and concluded that while his “hypervaccination” did not result in any adverse health effects, it also did not significantly improve or worsen his immune response.

The man, who is not named in the correspondence in compliance with German privacy rules, reported receiving 217 Covid shots between June 2021 and November 2023. Of those, 134 were confirmed by a prosecutor and through vaccination center documentation; the remaining 83 were self-reported, according to the study.

“This is a really unusual case of someone receiving that many Covid vaccines, clearly not following any type of guidelines,” said Dr. Emily Happy Miller, an assistant professor of medicine and of microbiology and immunology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine who did not participate in the research.

The man did not report any vaccine-related side effects and has not had a Covid infection to date, as evidenced by repeated antigen and PCR testing between May 2022 and November 2023. The researchers caution that it’s not clear that his Covid status is directly because of his hypervaccination regimen.

Episode 863 – A Good Start!

The Republican Party releases a great campaign ad. This is the stuff they should be pointing out.

Mike Johnson comes up with an idea that could save America money and a lot of stress. I think it’s a great idea but doesn’t go far enough.

And a Democrat is Kentucky comes up with an idea to curb the sexual abuse of children. Of course, this idea encourages the sexual abuse of children.

Dumbasses of the Day

Here is Joy Reid, talking about why Republicans are voting for Republicans. As you would suspect, it’s a weird take.

OK. I proclaim that Democrats vote for Joe Biden because they are all drug addicted, corrupted pedophiles.

Here is Joe Biden being senile again:

This led to the question that seems really obvious. I would have asked this question in a very different way. More on that in a second:

A Great Ad

A Good Start

Or We Could Throw Them in Jail

According to the New York Post:

A Kentucky Democrat suggested sex dolls styled to resemble children could help prevent pedophiles from abusing kids, sparking condemnation and outrage from Republicans in the state.

“This might be the most disturbing thing you see today. Watch KY Democratic Senator Karen Berg propose Child Sex Dolls for Pedophiles. This type of disturbing proposition has no place in the Commonwealth,” the Republican Party of Kentucky posted Friday with video of her comments.

The post was in response to Democratic state Sen. Karen Berg saying in a committee hearing on Thursday that “minor-attracted persons” could benefit from sex dolls that look like children, arguing the dolls could give pedophiles a “release” that might prevent them from abusing kids.

“There are what they call ‘MAPS,’ Minor Attracted Persons, and the limited amount of research that’s done on these dolls, guys, suggest that they actually – for people who are attracted to minors – that these dolls actually decrease their proclivity to go out and attack children,” Berg said, according to video of the hearing. “That it actually gives them a release that makes them less likely to go outside of their home.”

Republicans have released an add from this crazy bitch’s speech using her own words:

This craziness has led to Kentucky coming up with a new law. Later in the article:

Kentucky lawmakers were discussing a bill, HB 207, which would make it a felony to be in possession of a sex doll that is styled like a child, as well as making trafficking, importing or promoting child sex dolls a felony, the Courier Journal reported. The bill would also include AI-generated photos of children in the state’s law against viewing and promoting sexual images of minors.

Oh God!

According to the Daily Wire:

The Major League Baseball video game “MLB The Show” is introducing women players in its 2024 edition of the game even though professional women’s baseball doesn’t exist.

For the first time, gamers will be able to create and play with a woman baseball player in the “Road to the Show: Women Pave Their Way” game mode. The “Road to the Show” game mode, which has been a staple of “The Show” throughout the years, allows users to customize a player and play through an MLB career.

Mollie Braley, a narrative designer, for “MLB The Show” told PlayStation.Blog that the game’s new feature allowing people to play as women “was inspired by the stories of women in baseball.”

“Throughout history, women have been making waves in the sport,” Braley added. “These include legends such as Toni Stone, who was one of the first women ever to play professional baseball, and has a new Storyline in MLB The Show 24. Our team wanted to create something where dreams become a reality, and we felt like adding this to Road to the Show was the perfect opportunity that gave our players the option to experience this.”

Kelsie Whitmore, who plays on the Women’s USA Baseball National Team, said:

“This new gameplay experience is a unique pivot in the baseball world that will encourage, inspire, and motivate individuals to chase their dreams.”

Pivotal how? Are women suddenly going to be good enough to play Major League Baseball? Is anyone actually preventing a woman for trying out for a men’s baseball team?

“To me, this project is a great opportunity for the world to be informed of women who play baseball and that taking their skills to the next level is possible. My hopes for this project is to educate others that women/girls do play baseball and that they are capable of competing in this game at every level.”

“Educate women and girls”? So women can hit a baseball 400 feet? So women can pitch a baseball 95 miles an hour and they have just been suppressed from doing so? Do you think if there was a woman who could do any of these things, she would not be signed.

What really annoys me is the femininization of sports in general. Their are now female commentators in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB. They are making asses out of themselves. In the NHL, females are applying strategy from the women’s game to the men’s game and the commentators are arguing with them.

We Aren’t Far Behind

According to the Post Millennial:

The Trudeau government tabled Bill C-63 Monday, entitled The Online Harms Act. At a late afternoon news conference, federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Arif Virani advertised the legislation as a way to “create stronger online protection for children and better safeguard everyone in Canada from online hate and other types of harmful content.”

However, the bill targets a cornucopia of free speech issues and seeks to “protect all people in Canada from hatred.” The legislation would create a definition of “hatred,” increase existing penalties for “hate propaganda offenses” and promulgate a unique Criminal Code entry for a “hate crime offense” while offering new “remedies” for violating online hate speech within the Canadian Human Rights Act.

The “new standalone hate crime offense … would apply to every offense in the Criminal Code and in any other Act of Parliament allowing penalties up to life imprisonment to denounce and deter this hateful conduct as a crime in itself,” according to a technical briefing that preceded the news conference.

A human rights tribunal could also impose fines of up to $70,000 for posting “hate speech,” according to the bill.

The legislation would include an online censorship czar, dubbed a “digital safety ombudsperson,” within a new government agency called the Digital Safety Commission of Canada. This bureaucracy would be given the authority to target anyone seen to be violating the Online Harms Act and to “enforce legislative and regulatory obligations and hold online services accountable for their responsibilities through auditing for compliance, issuing compliance orders and penalizing services that fail to comply.”

Can We Say Illegal Alien Felon?

Some things:

  • It’s amazing that criminals commit crimes when it is being pinned on the Biden administration.
    • If it white man commits a crime, it is white supremacy because that’s what all white people are.
    • If a black man or trans-whatever, it’s the gun.
    • We are letting people out of prisons because they are not responsible for committing crimes, but it is the fault of white men and civilization.
    • Here, it is the fault of the administration, so we should blame him.
    • Problem is he wasn’t supposed to be here.

The Reaction

Donald Trump made his statement after the Supreme Court ruling. Let’s listen:

The reaction was pretty funny.

This is an amazing statement by Rachel Maddow. Here she is, responding to the Supreme Court decision yesterday.

China is Laughing!

Always for the Important Stuff

According to the Toronto Sun:

Last weekend, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, on the second anniversary of the Russian invasion.

While there, Trudeau pledged $3 billion in additional aid this year.

That’s a positive. The West must not lose its resolve to help Ukraine beat back the aggression of Russia’s thuggish dictator, Vladimir Putin. And while we have no real ability to help the Ukrainians militarily, we can provide lots of assistance with food security and community recovery.

I especially like the pledge to have CSIS cooperate with the Ukrainian Intelligence Service and to attach Canadians to the “counter-nuclear smuggling” efforts of the U.S. Department of Energy, to ensure Russia and its terrorist allies do not acquire material from Ukrainian nuclear plants that could be used to attack Ukrainian or Western cities.

But did you catch some of the strings the woke Trudeau government attached to Canada’s help?

In order to receive $10 million to help rebuild mental health services, Ukraine must agree to make its health system more “human rights-oriented.” Trade will be made dependent on decarbonizing Ukraine’s economy and online Ukrainian news services must employ internet fact-checkers “to counter misinformation.”

Sounds suspiciously like Liberal domestic policy — plenty of virtue signalling that will have little practical effect.

But it gets better:

But my favourite is the Trudeau government’s insistence that, if the government of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants $4 million to help remove landmines from around its country, it must promote more “gender-inclusive demining.”

Apparently, our government believes it is a high priority — on par with turning back the Russian army — that Ukrainian bomb squads be gender balanced.

Episode 860 – We Win, Thank God!

The Supreme Court makes a huge ruling for Trump. In reality, this ruling is for us.

A terrible story in unfolding in California and this is where Leftists eventually leads.

And Merrick Garland wants to further push the Great Replacement Theory.

We Win!

According to the Washington Post:

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously sided with Donald Trump, allowing the former president to remain on the election ballot and reversing a Colorado ruling that disqualified him from returning to office because of his conduct around the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The justices said the Constitution does not permit a single state to disqualify a presidential candidate from national office, ruling that such responsibility “rests with Congress and not the states.” The court warned of disruption and chaos if a candidate for nationwide office could be declared ineligible in some states, but not others, based on the same conduct.

“Nothing in the Constitution requires that we endure such chaos — arriving at any time or different times, up to and perhaps beyond the inauguration,” the court said in an unsigned, 13-page unsigned opinion.

The decision leaves Trump as the leading candidate for the Republican nomination and for now removes the Supreme Court from directly determining the path of the 2024 presidential election. The justices fast-tracked the challenge from voters in Colorado and issued their decision one day before Super Tuesday, when that state and more than a dozen others hold nominating contests. The ruling applies to other states with similar challenges to Trump’s candidacy.

A Horrid Story

According to the Daily Wire:

Police in southern California arrested 29-year-old Mohammed Abdulkareem this week for going into a dentistry practice and allegedly murdering a Jewish dentist and shooting two other people.

Dr. Benjamin Harouni was shot and killed late Thursday afternoon at his SmilePlus Dentistry practice just outside of San Diego. Two other victims were also shot — a man and a woman — and were taken to local hospitals where they were listed in serious but stable condition.

The El Cajon Police Department said that Abdulkareem fled the scene in a white U-Haul rental pickup truck, but was located several hours later thanks to a vigilant citizen who alerted law enforcement.

Abdulkareem was charged with multiple felony charges, including one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder, and was booked into the San Diego County Central Jail. Police said more charges could be forthcoming.

Some things:

  • The shooter was Muslim, the dentist was Jewish.
  • The guy had been a patient for years.
  • The media is already calling this a mental health issue (“assault weapons” and white supremacy CAN’T apply.
  • They are investigating this as a hate crime. It probably should be considering the media is already setting a narrative.

You Still Don’t See the Coincidence?

Who’d of Thunk It?

According to the New York Post:

A bill recriminalizing the possession of small amounts of drugs was passed by the Oregon Legislature on Friday, undoing a key part of the state’s first-in-the-nation drug decriminalization law as governments struggle to respond to the deadliest overdose crisis in US history.

The state Senate approved House Bill 4002 in a 21-8 vote after the House passed it 51-7 on Thursday.

The bill now heads to the desk of Gov. Tina Kotek, who said in January that she is open to signing a bill that would roll back decriminalization, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.

“With this bill, we are doubling down on our commitment to make sure Oregonians have access to the treatment and care that they need,” said Democratic Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber, of Portland, one of the bill’s authors, adding that its passage will “be the start of real and transformative change for our justice system.”

The measure makes the possession of small amounts of drugs such as heroin or methamphetamine a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail.

It enables police to confiscate the drugs and crack down on their use on sidewalks and in parks. Drug treatment is to be offered as an alternative to criminal penalties.

The bill also aims to make it easier to prosecute people who sell drugs. It increases access to addiction medication, and to obtain and keep housing without facing discrimination for using that medication.

Uh, No

Joe Biden made a speech yesterday praising law enforcement and Democrats effort at lowering crime.

  • Biden bragged that his administration “made historic investments in proven strategies to interrupt and prevent crime and violence in the first place. These programs use trusted messengers, including people — people who are in the neighborhood, people who have — have been incarcerated and are released now, people who have been through it, people who know what they’re talking about.”
  • He claimed that his administration had a “track record of reducing violent crime, as a consequence of that, by 30 to 60 percent where those programs exist.”
  • “My plan goes after the scourge of gun violence in America,” he declared. “I’ve taken more executive actions to stop the flow of illegal guns than any other administration in history.  And we beat the NRA when I signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years.”
  •  “And we’re going to finish the job.  We’re going to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines next time around because it has to be done. I formed the — the first-ever White House Gun Violence — White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and I thank Vice President Harris for overseeing this important effort.”

Too bad lawful gun purchases aren’t the problem when it comes to crime. Most crime doesn’t involve guns.

What was shocking was what was missing from the speech was the violence being done by illegal aliens.

What an A-Hole!

We Should Make Gavin Newsom the President!

California continues to be a shithole thanks to future Presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom:

  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom backed the controversial proposal to remove four Klamath River hydroelectric dams along the California-Oregon border. Now, the same fish he swore to protect could be killed in the process.
    • The dams had been breached on claims that it would help salmon migrate, but the Klamath River is now full of destroyed spawning salmon beds and pollution including decomposed algae, organic deposition, chemicals, and fine silt which is killing its ecosystem, according to a report from the California Globe.
    • Additionally, dead endangered steelhead trout and other species have been rising to the surface of the Klamath River, and the river’s conditions have made it unlikely for any juvenile salmon to survive.
  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law that exempts Panera Bread from a new $20-an-hour minimum wage hike for fast food chains after the billionaire owner of several of the chain’s locations donated to his campaign, according to a report.
    • In September, Newsom, a Democrat, signed into law a measure that raises the minimum wage of food fast workers from $16 an hour to $20 an hour.
    • But the Fast Food Accountability and Standards Recovery Act (FAST Act) includes an unusual carve-out that exempts “chains that bake bread and sell it as a standalone item,” according to Bloomberg News.
    • Newsom reportedly sought the exemption, which benefits among others Greg Flynn, the billionaire CEO of Flynn Restaurant Group, the company that owns some two dozen Panera Bread locations in the state.
    • Flynn, who attended the same high school as Newsom, has been involved in business dealings with the California governor, according to Bloomberg News.
    • This is socialist-level corruption.

AI Isn’t Racist

According to The Verge:

Google has apologized for what it describes as “inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions” with its Gemini AI tool, saying its attempts at creating a “wide range” of results missed the mark. The statement follows criticism that it depicted specific white figures (like the US Founding Fathers) or groups like Nazi-era German soldiers as people of color, possibly as an overcorrection to long-standing racial bias problems in AI.

“We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions,” says the Google statement, posted this afternoon on X. “We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately. Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here.”

Google began offering image generation through its Gemini (formerly Bard) AI platform earlier this month, matching the offerings of competitors like OpenAI. Over the past few days, however, social media posts have questioned whether it fails to produce historically accurate results in an attempt at racial and gender diversity.

As the Daily Dot chronicles, the controversy has been promoted largely — though not exclusively — by right-wing figures attacking a tech company that’s perceived as liberal. Earlier this week, a former Google employee posted on X that it’s “embarrassingly hard to get Google Gemini to acknowledge that white people exist,” showing a series of queries like “generate a picture of a Swedish woman” or “generate a picture of an American woman.” The results appeared to overwhelmingly or exclusively show AI-generated people of color. (Of course, all the places he listed do have women of color living in them, and none of the AI-generated women exist in any country.) The criticism was taken up by right-wing accounts that requested images of historical groups or figures like the Founding Fathers and purportedly got overwhelmingly non-white AI-generated people as results. Some of these accounts positioned Google’s results as part of a conspiracy to avoid depicting white people, and at least one used a coded antisemitic reference to place the blame.

Yep, They’re Doing This

According to the Daily Wire:

A recently-introduced bill in the state of Illinois would change the definition of “abused child” to include minors whose parents object to their children receiving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, transgender surgeries, and abortions.

House Bill 4876, which was introduced in early February, also shields doctors from liability if they prescribe such treatments to minors who do not have parental consent — and empowers the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to step in and, if they deem it necessary, remove children from their biological parents based on the new definition of an “abused child.”

According to the legislation, which imbues minors with the same legal status as adults with regard to consenting to medical treatments and procedures related to abortion and gender transition, “consent to the performance of abortion services and gender-affirming services executed by a minor is not voidable because of such minority.”

Additionally, doctors who prescribe and perform such treatments and procedures are directed only to make a reasonable effort to ensure that the minor in question has an understanding of the risks and benefits — and are exempted from any liability, either civil or criminal, for their participation in the minor’s treatment.

Parents could find themselves in even more trouble if DCFS finds any such abuse allegations to be warranted: Illinois law already classifies child abuse — depending upon the nature and severity of the abuse — as a criminal offense ranging from a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $2,500 fine to a felony that can carry up to $25,000 in fines and 15 years behind bars.

Episode 858 – Putting Theory into Practice

An Air Force airman lights himself on fire in order to free Palestine. I have some thoughts about this.

It is illegal for businesses to hire illegal aliens, so the Colorado government has a solution for that. They’ve decided to put the Great Replacement Theory into practice.

And everything is racist.

Illegal Alien Update

Here is a little update on illegal alien crime:

  • An illegal alien from Central America was arrested this week in connection with the murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou Caceres in Maryland.
  • An illegal alien was arrested this week in Louisiana for allegedly raping a minor and for a separate incident where he allegedly stabbed a victim in the face while committing an armed robbery.
  • 4 Chinese citizens, 1 in US illegally, allegedly found with $22.5M worth of marijuana plants in Georgia.
  • A 34-year-old Guatemalan national was arrested in Gloucester, Mass on February 21 who had been convicted of indecent assault and battery on a minor under 14.

Good Riddance

According to the BBC:

A member of the US Air Force is in a critical condition after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington.

Officers from the US Secret Service extinguished the flames before the man was taken to hospital on Sunday afternoon with serious injuries.

The US Air Force confirmed an active-duty serviceman was involved but he has not been identified.

The police, the Secret Service and other authorities are investigating.

In a video that was live streamed on Twitch, the man identified himself and said he was a serving member of the Air Force.

Before setting himself on fire, he said he would “no longer be complicit in genocide” and he was heard shouting “Free Palestine” as he burned.

I Told You This Would Happen

According to the Daily Wire:

As Denver faces a budget crisis due to 40,000 illegal immigrants arriving in the last year, the city is using its resources to get the migrant population employed, warning hourly workers that they may lose hours to illegal immigrants and using the public school system to help the illegals get work permits, according to emails obtained by The Daily Wire.

Denver’s 9 News reported on Monday that the City of Denver warned its workforce of job cuts, reporting that while the city “says it is NOT laying off employees to pay for the migrant crisis,” it “IS telling hourly employees they may have their hours reduced to zero.” Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) told the outlet that because companies are generally barred from hiring illegal immigrants, the city may simply start hiring illegal immigrants itself — even though that is also illegal.

Everything is Racist

According to the Post Millennial:

A California professor who founded Black Lives Matter Grassroots has declared that it’s “slightly racist” to be a fan of world-famous singer Taylor Swift.

Melina Abdullah, a controversial Pan-African Studies professor at California State University Los Angeles, made the claim on X during the Super Bowl on Feb. 11.

“Why do I feel like it’s slightly racist to be a Taylor Swift fan?” said Abdullah, the founder of BLM Grassroots, which is the daughter company of the Black Lives Matter Global Network.

After the San Francisco 49ers lost, which was the team that Abdullah had been supporting, she claimed in another post on X that the loss was because of white supremacy.

“Why do I feel like this was some right-wing, white-supremacist conspiracy?!?! Booooooo!!!!” said Abdullah.

“Folks think they’re attacking me by asking why I think everything is racist…I’m not offended. Virtually everything is racist,” she wrote in a follow-up post a few days later.

This Should Be a Big Deal

According to Fox News:

The U.S. witnessed Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus lunar lander touch down near Malapert A in the South Pole region of the moon on Thursday evening.

This marked the first American spacecraft has landed on the moon since the last crewed Apollo mission over 50 years ago. The last time an American spacecraft touched down on the moon was in 1972, during the Apollo 17 mission.

The lunar lander touched down at 6:24 p.m. ET Thursday, and its mission is part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative and Artemis campaign.

Although the lander was believed to be on the moon, the signal being transmitted by the equipment was lost.

In order to get that signal, the crew needed to use a dish in the U.K., because the lander’s transmission had been lost at landing.

Nearly 15 minutes later, a faint signal was detected.

“We’re not dead yet,” Mission Director Tim Crain said, before telling the team the equipment was on the surface of the moon and transmitting.

This Will Fix Everything

According to the Chicago Sun Times:

Dozens of Chicago students gathered outside the Board of Education president’s house in the summer of 2020 calling on the school board to end its contract with the Chicago Police Department that day. In a close and controversial vote, the board opted to keep police in schools.

Four years later, some of those same kids have since graduated from Chicago Public Schools but were back at the district’s downtown headquarters celebrating what they viewed as a mission accomplished.

The Board of Education voted Thursday to remove dozens of uniformed police officers from 39 high schools that still have them and, in a separate vote, to drop janitorial giant Aramark as the district’s cleaning provider.

The two unanimous votes by Mayor Brandon Johnson’s seven-member hand-picked school board realized two of his campaign promises and notched significant wins for education activists who have long demanded police-free schools and an end to privatized custodial services.

So what are they going to do with the high levels of violence in Chicago schools? Later in the article:

The board resolution called on CPS to end the school resource officer program by the start of next school year and instead create a policy that focuses on a holistic approach to student safety and “addresses root causes and contributing factors” for disparities in student discipline. The priority should be to help students heal from trauma, address situations through restorative justice and re-engage kids who are growing uninterested with school, the board said.

“The district will continue its strong partnership with the mayor’s office and the Chicago Police Department, which have always, and will continue to, provide critical support for all of our schools,” the resolution said.

CPS CEO Pedro Martinez said near the start of the meeting that district officials will “work with our board to implement their decision over the next few months.”

So, they’re are going to pull the police out of the schools and…they don’t know after that.

Episode 857 – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Will Kill You!

Ben Shapiro released a thread that has gone viral. It has been commented on by the likes of Elon Musk. If you saw his show, he talked about it.

Let’s go through it.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Will Kill You!

Thread 1:

1/ DEI in medicine means that even if doctors injure patients, they might still be protected (even promoted). It means that top hospitals are abandoning key metrics when hiring surgeons. And it means research by whites may be disregarded. Here’s what I’ve found…

Thread 2:

2/ Sources tell me Wake Forest Medical School is about to graduate Kychelle Del Rosario – the med student who injured a conservative patient and bragged about it. Wake Forest allowed Rosario to lay low and take a voluntary leave of absence when this scandal broke.

Thread 3:

3/ I’m also told that UPenn Health has hired Ewen Liu, Del Rosario’s classmate who said it “seemed ‘karma-tic’” when she injured the patient who mocked her pronoun pin. Wake Forest showered Liu with awards for excellence in patient care, and she now focuses on “LGBTQ+ Health.”

Thread 4:

Thread 5:

5/ This is the norm in medicine. Meet award-winning Duke surgical resident Vignesh Raman. At an internal DEI lecture, Raman says his “heart sinks” when he has patients who watch Fox News or wear MAGA hats. Then he celebrates having a majority “non-white” population to treat:

Thread 6:

Thread 9:

Thread 10:

Thread 11:

Thread 12:

12/ It’s bad enough when teachers or government bureaucrats talk like this, but valuing intersectionality over merit can literally mean life or death in surgery.

Thread 13:

13/ According to a recent Johns Hopkins study, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the United States. The only thing physicians should care about is competence. Anything else will get people killed.

Episode 856 – A Huge Victory!

Alabama gets a big victory in the war protecting unborn children.

Democrats are thinking of participating in election denial.

And Joe Biden is bypassing all of our government’s checks and balances, just like a good despot would do.

A Terrible Story

According to the New York Times:

A 26-year-old man was charged on Friday with kidnapping and murdering a nursing student whose body was found in a wooded area at the University of Georgia in Athens the previous day, the authorities announced. They called the homicide, the first in nearly 30 years on campus, “a crime of opportunity” and said that the two apparently had not known each other.

The victim, Laken Riley, 22, was an undergraduate student at the school until the spring of 2023 and then enrolled at Augusta University’s nursing program, which has a campus in Athens, school officials said. She was on Augusta University’s fall 2023 dean’s list.

University police identified the suspect as Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, at an evening news conference.

This individual is an illegal alien from Venezuela. He was released from custody when caught at the border. He was arrested in New York of endangering a child. Now he killed an American.

Finally

According to thew AP:

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled last week that couples who were trying in vitro fertilization and lost frozen embryos in an accident at a south Alabama storage facility can sue under the state’s wrongful death law.

Since then, three providers have paused the often-used fertility treatments while they sort out the legal implications.

The ruling is the first of its kind and extends a theory championed by some anti-abortion groups — that embryos and fetuses should be considered children and be afforded legal protections — into a new realm.

Dumbass of the Day

Election Denial

According to the Daily Wire:

Numerous House Democrats have signaled that they would not certify a 2024 presidential election win from Donald Trump, relying on the 14th Amendment to claim Trump is an insurrectionist and thus ineligible from holding office.

Democrats including Reps. James Clyburn (SC), Jamie Raskin (MD), Adam Schiff (CA), Eric Swalwell (CA), and even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies refused to say that they would confirm Trump to office if he won the 2024 election.

As Dan McLaughlin explained at National Review, Democrats could have the votes to sustain an objection to a Trump win if they take control of the House. “Only a simple majority is required, and unlike when the House chooses a president under the Twelfth Amendment, they don’t vote by states,” he wrote. “Unlike in 2016 or 2004, when they were in the minority, House Democrats could be playing with live ammunition.”

Still, a majority of senators would have to object to a Trump win, too. This would likely take 51 senators, and as McLaughlin pointed out, this would be a tough task for Democrats: They “either have to hold every seat they currently occupy (good luck in West Virginia), or take a Republican-held seat (the bluest of which is either Ted Cruz’s in Texas or Rick Scott’s in Florida),” he said.

Who’s the Depot Now?

According to Fox News:

President Biden asserting that the Supreme Court couldn’t stop him from canceling student debt set off social media users for his “assault on democracy.”

On Wednesday, Biden spoke at the Julian Dixon Library in Culver City, California, where he referenced his efforts to cancel more student loan debt. He noted that while his student debt handout program was initially halted by the Supreme Court, its ruling “didn’t stop” him.

Here’s what he said:

This is a man who does not believe in checks and balances. He does not believe in the rule of law or the Constitution. He is a despot.
