Episode 698 – Uh, No!

If you think gas prices are high in California, Gavin Newsom has decided to sign into law an oil shortage.

CNN continues to search for controversy and the delve into the same old well.

And eating bugs is one thing but eating 50,000 year old wooly mammoths?

 

News

Here is some news:

  •  Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall has given a dire warning about China, one that we seem to be ignoring.
    • He said in front of the House Appropriations Committee: “I don’t think I’ve seen anything more disturbing in my career than the Chinese ongoing expansion of their nuclear force. For decades, they were quite comfortable with an arsenal of a few hundred nuclear weapons, which was fairly clearly a second-strike capability to act as a deterrent. That expansion that they’re undertaking puts us into a new world that we’ve never lived in before, where you have three powers — three great powers, essentially — with large arsenals of nuclear weapons.”
    • China plans to triple their nuclear arsenal by 2035, to 1500 nuclear warheads.
    • They are working with Russia, which is already a nuclear power.
    • They have made a financial deal with Brazil yesterday. This could open up South America to Chinese weapons.
    • They are also working with a bunch of countries in Africa.
    • And Joe Biden is going to ignore it.
  • Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) signed a bill on Tuesday that prohibits oil companies from “price gouging,” contending that the new law would protect the state’s climate and lower prices.
    • The legislation, introduced by State Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-CA) at the end of last year, forces oil companies to reduce their profits in order to avoid a civil penalty from the California Energy Commission.
    • Newsom endorsed the bill with the support of various climate groups and activists.
    • Newsom said: “With this legislation, we’re ending the oil industry’s days of operating in the shadows. California took on Big Oil and won. We’re not only protecting families, we’re also loosening the vice grip Big Oil has had on our politics.”
    • The new law will permit the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to create a maximum gross gasoline refining margin and establish a penalty for any refineries in the state which exceed the margin.
    • Western States Petroleum Association CEO Catherine Reheis-Boyd said in a statement:  “Price caps, taxes, and tax-like penalties do not increase supply or reduce prices, but instead can have the opposite effect: less investment, less gasoline supply, and ultimately higher costs for Californians. With this politicized process behind us, it’s time for serious discussion about what it will take to ensure an affordable, reliable and safe fuel supply for the years ahead.”
    • So be prepared for gas and oil shortages in California.
  • The grand jury that is suppose to rule on indicting Donald Trump on a misdemeanor is taking off for a month.
    • This was pre-planned.
    • I have a feeling that Alvin Bragg didn’t get what he wanted and he just wants this to go away.
  • Pope Francis will be staying overnight in a Rome hospital.
    • At first, the Vatican said it was just for tests. But people wondered why he would be staying overnight for some tests.
    • The Vatican eventually said that the Pope was in the hospital for a respiratory infection and will be in the hospital for a few days.
    • The Pope is 86 years old and has had multiple health issues.
    • Francis had part of a lung removed when he was a young man due to a respiratory infection.
    • I am not a fan of this Pope, but I will be praying for him anyway. He still is the leader of my church.

CNN is Falling Apart

CNN has decided to jump into the racist conversation. They, too, are searching for anything to be racist. The problem they have is no one pays attention to them. When they do, like they did with this story, they just look stupid.

According to CNN:

Maybe you shared that viral video of Kimberly “Sweet Brown” Wilkins telling a reporter after narrowly escaping an apartment fire, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

Perhaps you posted that meme of supermodel Tyra Banks exploding in anger on “America’s Next Top Model” (“I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!”). Or maybe you’ve simply posted popular GIFs, such as the one of NBA great Michael Jordan crying, or of drag queen RuPaul declaring, “Guuuurl…”

If you’re Black and you’ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you’re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism.

Mind you, if you’re black, you get a pass. If a black person sends a meme of a white person, no problem because they’re victims or whatever.

The article continues:

If you’re still not sure how to define digital blackface, Jackson offers a guide. She says it “includes displays of emotion stereotyped as excessive: so happy, so sassy, so ghetto, so loud… our dial is on 10 all the time — rarely are black characters afforded subtle traits or feelings.”

Many White people choose images of Black people when it comes to expressing exaggerated emotions on social media – a burden that Black people didn’t ask for, she says.

“We are your sass, your nonchalance, your fury, your delight, your annoyance, your happy dance, your diva, your shade, your ‘yaas’ moments,” Jackson writes. “The weight of reaction GIFing, period, rests on our shoulders.”

That the f- is she talking about? Could it be possible that the gifs people use are just appropriate for that specific situation and people do not post a gif with race in mind? I also want to point out that the gifs these people are talking about I have never seen before.

This guy wrote about a 5000 word essay on this crap and CNN is wondering why their site has no traffic, their digital service had no subscribers and no one watches their station. Here’s the problem CNN is having, they thrive on sparking controversy and division. This is one of the reason they and MSNBC went in the tank when Trump lost in 2020. They need the controversy.

Last week, MSNBC actually got a boost in the ratings. Why? Because Trump was suppose to be arrested. I would have watched CNN and MSNBC if Trump was arrested because it would have been entertaining. Now that Trump is not being arrested, no one cares and their ratings will go straight back into the tank.

It’s just really pathetic how these people will reach into the bottom of the barrel to find any type of controversy.

Uh, No…

First they want us to eat grass, then bugs and now…mammoths?

According to the AP News:

Throw another mammoth on the barbie?

An Australian company on Tuesday lifted the glass cloche on a meatball made of lab-grown cultured meat using the genetic sequence from the long-extinct pachyderm, saying it was meant to fire up public debate about the hi-tech treat.

The launch in an Amsterdam science museum came just days before April 1 so there was an elephant in the room: Is this for real?

“This is not an April Fools joke,” said Tim Noakesmith, founder of Australian startup Vow. “This is a real innovation.”

Cultivated meat — also called cultured or cell-based meat — is made from animal cells. Livestock doesn’t need to be killed to produce it, which advocates say is better not just for the animals but also for the environment.

Vow used publicly available genetic information from the mammoth, filled missing parts with genetic data from its closest living relative, the African elephant, and inserted it into a sheep cell, Noakesmith said. Given the right conditions in a lab, the cells multiplied until there were enough to roll up into the meatball.

OK, no.

Couple of things about this:

  • We don’t eat elephants now. Why would I want to eat a mammoth that is 20,000 years old?
  • The meatball looks like a ball of crap. It looks disgusting.
  • I saw Jurassic Park. I know what could happen. I don’t want to choke on a tusk because these scientists f-up the genetic sequence.
  • Finally, something no one talked about, no one actually tried to eat this thing. Apparently the scientists are afraid to try it because they don’t know how their bodies will react to eating a 5000 year old protein.

The environmental cult says that this brings hope to the alternative meat crowd. I’m glad they’re happy about it. I’ll stick to steak which is cow. I never had interest in eating elephant. They’re way too cute.

What a Shock

I love NHL hockey. Always have. It is a fun sport full of action and fights. The goals are exciting. The players are amazing. Another reason I like it is because they always stayed out of controversy. They just do their thing.

That’s why I was amazed when the NHL decided to celebrate gay pride night and making the players wear rainbow crap. The NHL had a couple of problems with this. A lot of players said, “no” and didn’t give a rat’s ass what ESPN had to say and ESPN had a lot to say:

This moron wants the NHL to be inclusive by excluding the beliefs of the actual players. He wants to fine teams a million dollars? What’s worse, he is comparing the United States military to guys who dress like chicks? He doesn’t, at all, see a difference between the two? This is

The only thing I hate that the players do is give the excuse that it is against the player’s religion. What they should say is that he doesn’t want to do it. Period.

Anyway, the NHL has run into a problem. According to the Post Millennial:

In response to an increasing number of players engaging in silent protests against the NHL’s Pride Nights, a new report claims the league is re-evaluating the events which may lead to them being canceled.

Currently, all of the teams in the NHL hold Pride nights, however some now do so without the themed jerseys as the events are planned by the individual teams, not the league.

League commissioner Gary Bettman said in an interview with CTV News when asked about the players that have refused to wear Pride-themed jerseys this season, “This is the first time we’ve experienced that, and I think it’s something that we’re going to have to evaluate in the offseason.”

Citing religious beliefs, several players have declined to participate in pre-game warmups while wearing Pride-themed jerseys.

Here’s the reality, hockey is a Conservative sport. You will not see a lot of trans people at a game. I think the diversity department at the NHL main office is going to have a lot of kickback from the teams, coaches and players when it comes to this crap. I think this also could lead the NHL, which is not a really big sport, down the path of Disney. They should resist this.

It also shows you how a diversity department in a company can really screw up a company. Here’s a hint to Gary Bettman and the NHL’s Board of Governors, get rid of your diversity department.

It’s About Time

There are a few things that irritate the hell out of me. People who end their sentences with a preposition, man buns and kids who go to school in their pajama bottoms. If a kid does not have the respect for school enough to roll out of bed 20 minutes early and put on some pants, how is she going to have enough respect for the education teachers are trying to give them.

According to Fox News:

Virginia’s Fairfax County Public Schools is considering revising its dress code by including a ban on students wearing pajamas or sleepwear to class, as well as any garment that exposes underwear.

Proposed changes to the Students Rights and Responsibilities handbook, which is reviewed annually, would also prohibit students from wearing jackets with hoods up during class or between classes, according to WTOP.

Michelle Boyd, who serves as assistant superintendent for special services, disclosed to parents during a Zoom meeting last week that in addition to the dress code, the proposed changes to the guidelines also touch on topics such as substance misuse, harassment, hazing and bullying.

The proposed changes to the dress code specify that certain garments such as “pajamas or sleepwear” cannot be worn to school except during Spirit Week or pajama day, though they provide no details on what constitutes pajamas or sleepwear.

Really? Someone doesn’t know what would be defined as sleep wear? How about if the kid went to bed wearing something and tries to go to school wearing the same thing, that’s sleep wear. That’s what those kids are doing. They are getting up without changing and going to school.

Fairfax County Public Schools‘ current dress code makes no mention of pajamas, though anyone who violates it is potentially subject to disciplinary action.

I don’t know what took so long for someone to do this. I don’t know why this isn’t be done throughout the country.

Bunches of studies have shown that children who dress well when they go to school have higher self-esteem, higher pride in themselves and do better in school.

I also question the parents that let their kids leave the house looking like that. This was not an option when I was a kid or when my kids were in school. Hell, we used to force our kids to change when they had a stain on their shirts.

You know what would take care of this stupidity and make the lives of children so much better? Uniforms.

Episode 697 – They Want Us Silent or Else!

We have more information about the Nashville shooter.

Democrats respond to a hearing of weaponizing the bureaucracies by weaponizing the bureaucracies.

And Everything is racist.

 

More Information

More information is coming out of that killing spree. Here’s what we have right now:

  • It is a trans man. So it’s a woman who thinks she’s a man.
  • She had mental problems, was seeing a doctor, was prescribed medication but was never hospitalized and the doctor never contacted the authorities. The police never knew who she was.
  • She had a gun before but her family forced her to sell it because of her mental problems.
  • She went to five different gun stores and legally bought seven guns.
  • She was going to attack another school but changed her mind when she saw the level of security and chose the Catholic school.
  • The motive still has not been reported.
  • She sent talked to a friend about wanting to die and the friend would hear about what she was going to do on the news. The friend called the police but it was too late.
  • Body cam footage was released. It showed the cops were frigging heroes. They put themselves right in harm’s way.
  • The motive or the manifesto have been hinted at but have not been released.

The Trans Resistance Network (TRN), a far-left transgender “collective,” released an inflammatory statement on Monday in the wake of the shooting.

So, they are making the shooter a victim and giving her a ton of excuses.

Here’s the reality, groups like this support this type of violence, especially against faiths that do not support their twisted ideology. If you did not know this, groups like this are calling for a Day of Vengeance. This is suppose to happen on the Day of Transgender Visibility. Does this sound like a peaceful group of people? I’m pretty sure they don’t mean the peaceful type of vengeance. I do want to point out there have been a bunch of mass shooting within the last year committed by trans-activists. Benny Johnson pointed this out in a tweet:

Newsweek knew this was all true but they tried to excuse the trans-activists by saying the shooter in Nashville was mentally ill and that can’t be overlooked. Question for Newsweek, when a straight white man commits a mass shooting, is is mental illness discussed or is racism, sexism, homophobia and toxic masculinity discussed? It’s a rhetorical question. We know the answer.

Here’s the reality, this trans thing is a religion. You either believe in their religion or you are to be silenced. I will guess there is a reason this school was attacked. It’s because these were Catholics and we do not in this twisted, narcissistic ideology. Being a former student from that school, the shooter knew that.

This is Scary

I haven’t talked about this in a while so let me give you a little reminder.

Elon Musk bought Twitter and decided to release messages, E-mails and policies between the government and Twitter before Musk bought it. The goal was to show how the government has weaponized social media and manipulated the information of such things as the Russia collusion scandal, the Hunter Biden laptop story and COVID information.

The information was given to three journalists: Bari Weiss, Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger. Each one would do their research and release a Twitter thread called The Twitter Files.

Republicans have been watching this and decided to hold a hearing on the weaponization of government agencies such as the DoJ, FBI and IRS. This hearing revealed a lot and showed that these bureaucracies were being weaponized.

The Democrats on the panel couldn’t say much because there was a ton of evidence. They spent most of their time just insulting the three journalists and making very stupid comments that mad them look like they didn’t know what they were talking about.

Well, leave it to Democrats to prove the point of Republicans.

According to the Wallstreet Journal:

Democrats are denouncing the House GOP investigation into the weaponization of government, but maybe that’s because Republicans are getting somewhere. That includes new evidence that the Internal Revenue Service may be targeting a journalist who testified before the weaponization committee.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter Monday to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen seeking an explanation for why journalist Matt Taibbi received an unannounced home visit from an IRS agent. We’ve seen the letter, and both the circumstances and timing of the IRS focus on this journalist raise serious questions.

Mr. Taibbi has provoked the ire of Democrats and other journalists for his role in researching Twitter records and then releasing internal communications from the social-media giant that expose its censorship and its contacts with government officials. This effort has already inspired government bullying, with Chair Lina Khan’s Federal Trade Commission targeting new Twitter owner Elon Musk and demanding the company “identify all journalists” granted access to the Twitter files.

Now Mr. Taibbi has told Mr. Jordan’s committee that an IRS agent showed up at his personal residence in New Jersey on March 9. That happens to be the same day Mr. Taibbi testified before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about what he learned about Twitter. The taxman left a note instructing Mr. Taibbi to call the IRS four days later. Mr. Taibbi was told in a call with the agent that both his 2018 and 2021 tax returns had been rejected owing to concerns over identity theft.

Mr. Taibbi has provided the committee with documentation showing his 2018 return had been electronically accepted, and he says the IRS never notified him or his accountants of a problem after he filed that 2018 return more than four-and-a-half years ago.

This isn’t the first time the IRS has been used by Democrats to target political enemies. In 2013, the Obama administration used the IRS to target Conservative non-profit organizations by threatening to take away their  Section 501(c)(4) status which made them tax exempt. This was one of the scandals that the Obama administration said they never had.

Jim Jordan, head of the judiciary committee, sent a letter to the IRS head, Daniel Werfel and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen asking for election. So far, crickets.

There is weaponization of these bureaucracies. It is obvious. Hell, they’re not hiding it anymore. The only way I see this gets fixed is a Constitutional Convention and we put an Amendment in the Constitution that gives these worthless organizations an expiration date. A bureaucracy should have to prove they are worth something to continue. That includes the IRS. Don’t forget, the IRS is about 100 years old. Most of our history did not have an IRS. And the EPA? Forget about it.

We should also give the President, not only to fire the bureaucratic heads, but also middle management. A lot of this crap is coming from middle management. Let’s face it, some of these bureaucracies are necessary, but they need management to be wiped clean and started over. The FBI is one of those agencies.

Pantry Porn

The Left is really having trouble finding things that are racist. I think what these people are doing is going around their houses and finding things they can call racist. Here’s one that a college professor found.

According to the Post Millennial:

A Loyola University professor has claimed that cleanliness and tidiness, tied to the latest “pantry porn” trend on social media is connected to racism, as well as classism and sexism.

Loyola associate professor of marketing Dr. Jenna Drenten made the claims in a Tuesday piece for The Conversation, titled “‘Pantry porn’ on TikTok and Instagram makes obsessively organized kitchens a new status symbol.”

Here’s what she said:

“Storing spices in coordinated glass jars and color-coordinating dozens of sprinkles containers may seem trivial. But tidiness is tangled up with status, and messiness is loaded with assumptions about personal responsibility and respectability.

“Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of ‘niceness’: nice people, with nice yards, in nice houses, make for nice neighborhoods.

“What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist, and sexist social structures.”

So if you want to be a nice person with a nice house, a nice yard and living in a  nice neighborhood, you must be white. That’s because blacks people are not nice people and want to live in crappy houses with crappy yards and love living in crappy neighborhoods. Or maybe she’s saying that all black people are crappy people that live in crappy houses and live in crappy neighborhoods and have to have crappy pantries so they can’t find the cereal in the morning.

This is the bigotry of low expectations and is racist.

Terrible People

Episode 696 – Digging Deep for that New Narrative

More details about the tragedy in Tennessee and the Democrats have a bit of n issue on their hands.

Because the story in Tennessee bucks the narrative, the Left jumps on it.

And Greta joins the elite class.

 

The Skinny

Yesterday, we talked about the attack on Covenant School in Nashville that left 3 kids and 3 adults dead. The shooter was identified as a woman. To give you an idea of how rare this is, this is only the fifth female mass shooter in history. Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire tweeted his surprise that a woman would do this.

Well, surprise, surprise.

So, a trans-woman, which is a man, walks into a Catholic school and kills six people. He left a manifesto which says he was nuts. He targeted the school, with maps and a schedule. Finally he probably did it because of trans ideology. You can assume that because the cop said it is probably something like that. He would not have said that if it wasn’t true.

Now, for you information, I do not know if this was a guy or gal. It could be a trans man and the police captain just got confused like most of us are. I saw him and he looked like a chick and he was wearing a suit. But from here on, I will call him a him because the cop said so.

Democrats reacted immediately. They had to. They needed to establish whatever narrative they needed to come up with. There’s a reason that Democrats automatically went to the gun control narrative. Remember the rules:

  • If a black man kills a bunch of people, the narrative is gun control.
  • If a women kills a bunch of people, the narrative is gun control.
  • If a trans person kills a bunch of people, the narrative is gun control.
  • If a white man kills a bunch of people, the narrative is white supremacy.

A trans woman kills a bunch of people so it must be gun control.

About an hour after this whole thing was reported, Karin Jean-Pierre went out and started about Republicans not approving a ban on “assault” rifles, whatever those are:

You know what would have saved those kids? Someone with a gun. Do you know who did make it so there weren’t more deaths? Police with guns.

Here’s another reality, I bet we are going to hear that this guy had mental problems. That there were people who complained about it. Yet he was able to go out an buy guns because the government sucks at red flag laws and background checks. Heck, a couple of these guns were probably legal but we’re not even sure of that yet.

Then Joe Biden held a press conference where he addressed the issue. His opening remarks showed how serious he takes the situation and how serious he takes the loss of six people, including three kids:

Six people are dead, three kids and he’s going to make a joke about Chocolate chip ice cream before he comments on it.

Question, if six trans people were killed by a right winger, would he make a joke about it or would he be serious as all sin because the trans people are on his side.

Then he talks about gun control. Seriously, how serious can you take a guy that likes to joke about ice cream before he addresses such a serious subject?

This guy is so full of crap, it’s coming out of his ears.

First off, this soul of American crap is getting old. He doesn’t care about the “soul of America”. He likes the divisiveness. He’s perpetuating it.

Next, he doesn’t want to turn our schools into prisons. What he means is he doesn’t want to harden school security such as adding metal detectors and armed guards. Here’s a news flash, just about every Jewish school in the country has metal detectors and armed guards because of the security threats. They turn out to be the safest schools in the country.

He is not do any favors to our children by ignoring the realities of today. Worse, this whole story is probably going to show that he and his policies are perpetuating the violence against Christian schools. Don’t forget, not only does he say that all trans people are under threat, he demonizes Christianity.

Finally, he’s so old and senile, he constantly lets his narcissism out. He continually brings up his son, Beau, anytime something like this happens so that he can make a connection with the families of the victims. He makes it out that his son died violently in Iraq. Well, he didn’t. He died of brain cancer about six years ago. Politicizing his dead son is disgusting.

She Is Officially and Elite

The University of Helsinki in Finland has soiled themselves pretty seriously this week. I will let Hot Air, a conservative outlet explain it because they do it really well.

Climate Change is a religion. We all know that.

The University of Helsinki has decided to make that official by giving Greta Thunberg an honorary Doctorate of Theology at the ripe old age of 20.

Pretty sure she hasn’t graduated from High School, but maybe I am wrong. I thought she dropped out to become a climate change activist. Now that she is Dr. Thunberg she can glue herself to Volkswagens or something. Isn’t that what activists with Ph. D.s do these days?

I am pretty sure that the University of Helsinki is supposed to be a serious institution. They don’t send degrees in the mail after you send them $99 or something like that. It is the oldest and largest university in Finland, and as far as I know, isn’t run by complete morons.

At least I used to assume that. Now I have to revise my assessment.

The reason I wanted to read this was because the writer by the name of David Strom hit it pretty much right on the head.

  • Climate change is not a science. It is a religion. A religion that has been around from the 50s.
    • It has its own holidays.
    • It has its own belief system or faith. But the fatalistic much like the faiths of Jim Jones or David Koresh.
    • It has its own inquisitions. Extinction Rebellion and Antifa and those crazy groups that throw paint at paintings are soldiers of this climate inquisition.
  • Greta Thunberg is the High Priestess of this religion. She, herself, proves it is not a science.
    • She never offers any support for her arguments.
    • She never offers any science.
    • She just screams at us to have faith.
    • If we don’t have faith, we must be shunned. There all no alternatives.
  • Greta Thunberg is a dolt.
    • She never graduated high school.
    • She was pulled from high school to travel the world in her father’s boat and make speeches. We can assume she is making money off of this.
    • Her mother is a singer, her father is an actor and her grandfather was an actor and director so we can see where she gets her drama from.
    • She has  Asperger syndromeobsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism.
    • She just wrote a book about climate change and I hear the book is nothing about the need to destroy capitalism. Apparently capitalism is the main cause of climate change. This is probably one of the reasons she doesn’t go to China (who pumps 3 times the crap in the air than we do) and starts yelling at them. She’s a little communist.
    • By the way, her parents probably wrote the book. We know they run her Twitter account.

The University of Helsinki just lost any credibility it might have had.

Everything is Racist

It’s been over a week since we’ve talked about this and this is mostly because I’ve been gove a week. so let’s get to it.

Everything is racist.

Coffee

This is an awesome from a site called Afru. Let’s go through some of it.

If you’re a person of color, you know what I’m talking about. You walk into a new coffee shop and your senses are overwhelmed with whiteness and you get the glare from the Karens. The white hipster barista lines herself up between you and the bathrooms, ready to tell you non-customers aren’t welcome.

I maybe off here but I’m pretty sure people of color are also coffee and baristas. In fact, you can’t go into a Starbucks without seeing a pronouns pin.

By the way, Karen is a racist term for white women. No one seems a problem with this.

If you have a white coffee drinking friend, he or she may have even let you in on the old coffee joke white coffee drinkers share when PoC aren’t around: “there are three things that are necessary in order to make a cup of coffee, and they are: first, a black man to roast the coffee; second, a yellow man to grind it; and third, a white man to drink it.”

Well, I’m here to validate your lived experience; coffee is in fact horribly racist, and there’s data to back it up.

Every facet of the coffee industry, in fact, is rooted in racism. From the moment the whites viciously stole coffee from Black and Brown People to the present-day Karen sipping her morning cup of white supremacy, whites have been able to drink the fruits of our labor and our culture with impunity.

Here are her arguments:

  • Coffee is picked by people of color.
    • Here’s the problem she has. Most coffee comes from countries that are made up of people of color like Brazil, Columbia or Ethiopia. If these countries are still using slave labor, how does that prove white supremacy in the United States?
    • Only California and Hawaii export coffee and neither of them ever had slavery.
    • She doesn’t talk about any of this.
    • We do import the most coffee in the world. Solution: don’t import it. Get it from France and Switzerland.

Then these folks go through how coffee in gentrification and racism. Let’s read:

Now that it’s been established that, historically, coffee is deeply rooted in colonialism and racism, you might be wondering what the next steps are. Aren’t we all addicted to the stuff? What do we do with our horrible knowledge?

They make an assumption here. Her evidence does not show that.

If you think coffee culture can find refuge in specialty coffee, think again. This might be obvious to some, but I’ll spell it out for the folks in the back: the bourgeois notion of “specialty coffee” is explicitly rooted in classism, which is directly linked to racism (a whole other, and very long, topic).

It’s not just that Black folks cannot afford specialty coffee, but the very acceptance of the term “specialty coffee” suggests that some coffee is somehow superior to others, an idea that is rooted in whiteness. Values like “hard work creates better products” is an white supremacist idea that is constantly forced upon people of color and justifies stereotypes like the myth of “laziness” in people of color.

Classism, meaning all white people are rich all black people are poor. It also assumes people of color do not drink specialty coffees because they are all broke. The bigotry of low expectations. I’m pretty sure people of color drink specialty coffees too. That’s because I’m not a racist and think black people can afford good coffee.

The “hard work” thing being white supremacist is typical Critical Race Theory crap. This is also bigotry. According to these people, blacks are incapable of working hard.

Finally, I want to point out

If you can’t turn to specialty coffee, at least you can support your local coffee shop, right? Again, hold on. The number one sign of gentrification of Black spaces and Black places is a new chic coffee shop. According to Bitterroot Magazine: “These shops seem to sprout on the corner of every neighborhood just as it’s beginning to gentrify — a phenomenon researchers are beginning to notice, too.”

So, these writers believe in segregation. The question is why would coffee houses build in black neighborhoods? Could it be to sell to black people? That the business thinks black people might like the coffee because black people do drink coffee.

And let’s not forget that so-called progressive coffee shops fail to pay a living wage. The average salary for a barista in Portland, OR is a measly $23,000. To put it short: think twice before entering your local anti-capitalist coffee shop. Despite their anarchist demagoguery, they’re trying to exploit people of color just like the 19th century colonialists.

This is the typical of the argument. It’s a communist argument. The reason baristas are not paid $50,000 a year is because they are working in a manual labor job. Sorry for the reality I’m going to throw at you, but making a half-caf/half-decalf chocolate macchiato is not a work of engineering. I could train a monkey to do that job.

This living wage for jobs meant for teenagers is stupid.

That’s not to mention big retail coffee and coffee chains, which are just as bad as crypto-racist coffee shops in gentrified areas. At least white liberals pretend to be tolerant of us — Black folks are not even allowed to use restrooms in big coffee chains, as I’m sure you’ll remember from this tragic 2018 Starbucks story:

Two Black men who had not yet ordered anything were denied the code to use the bathroom and then were asked to leave the store. They did not, the manager called the police, and at the end of it all two black men were handcuffed and detained for several hours.

This is an argument that just lies to the readers.

Two black guys went into a Starbucks and didn’t buy anything. They just sat at a table in the crowded Starbucks. They were asked to buy something or leave because other paying customers needed the table. They said no. Then they wanted to use the restroom and the manager said no. The two threw a fit and the police were called. The news argued with the police and refused to leave. They were detained and released when Starbucks refused to prosecute.

They were trespassing. They were squatting.

She concludes the article by saying all coffee shops should boycotted a divested from coffee imports and coffee shops. She concludes the article with this:

But ultimately, and I know this will hurt, a proper commitment to doing antiracist direct action requires that we give up coffee altogether. Unless you’re Ethiopian.

There it is! Ibram X. Kendi antiracist BS! It was such a dumb article, I had to read it to you. These people should all move back to wherever they think is perfect and leave my coffee alone.

Might As Well Stick With the Subject

We might have continue with the perversion. The institutions continue to wipe out the female sex.

According to Fox News:

USA Today honored a transgender lawmaker from Minnesota on its annual “Women of the Year” list.

Democratic State Rep. Leigh Finke is the first openly transgender person to be elected to and serve in the Minnesota legislature. Finke was named “Woman of the Year” for Minnesota despite serving in office for less than three months.

Here’s the reality, Finke can’t actually defends his own stances. Here he is, trying to defend his stance on drugging children because they think they are the opposite sex when questioned by Republican, Mary Fransen:

There is no argument to be made. He can’t defend his stance.

Guess what? This guys looks and talks like a guy.

Another win for the patriarchy!

The Patriarchy Always Wins

The patriarchy continues to kick ass and take numbers against those pansy women.

A transgender female appeared to finish in first place at a New York City cycling event on Sunday.

A social media post from NYC Cycling News showed Tiffany Thomas standing in between two biological females as the first-place winner of Randall’s Island Criteriums on Sunday. Thomas is a transgender woman who rides for LA Sweat.

Thomas is 46 years old and over six feet tall. He was competing against women twenty years younger and six inches shorter than he was. He started cycling in 2018, so he has years and years of experience racing.

But that isn’t the only sports story that shows men can kick the ass of any woman in sports.

Lia Thomas, the gay guy that calls himself a woman and may not have his balls anymore, was celebrated as a featured woman on ESPN during a special on Women’s History Month. By the way, Thomas’ real name is William or Will.

Here’s the piece:

Yeah, he sure sounds like a woman. By the way, he was ranked 200th as a man before being ranked number one as a woman.

Way to go, boys! Kick those women’s asses!

Keep Screwing Us

The Inflation Reduction Act, which has very little to do with inflation reduction and more to do with a climate change wish list, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2050.

Here’s the problem, Biden promised to lower the emissions by 50%. So, how is he going to gain that last 10%. Why, through presidential fiat, of course.

John Kerry was interviewed by Yahoo! News. He said:

“Well, we’re doing a lot more than just the IRA. The IRA is a package that in and of itself can get the 40%. But in addition to that, the president is issuing executive orders. There’ll be changes on automobile, on light truck, heavy truck, heavy duty, a number of initiatives that are being taken by states, subnational, cities…”

He says those executive orders is going to change how we, in the United States, live. And we have no choice.

He said other things too. Good news, he’s so stupid and elitist, he says what these people actually think.

Here he is being questioned about how the people in Davos, during the World Economic Forum, can bitch about the climate but all travel via private plane. He has an excuse for that.

Here he is, admitting that what the Biden administration is doing is extreme and that no other administration could get away with what they are doing.

Finally, China is the greatest polluter in the world, bar none. They are producing three time the carbon we are and are building two coal plants a week to provide energy. But they are worried about the climate and we should follow their lead.

This is the standard World Economic Forum talking points. They all believe this. They like the way China does things.

Episode 694 – The Fat Lady Might Be Warming Up Her Pipes!

I need to talk about something that should scare all of us.

 

Deep Thought

I was watching The View yesterday. OK, I know, but I was bored, just finished listening to Ben Shapiro and wanted to see the what all these women and feminine men saw in this show. Let’s just say I must have lost a few dozen IQ points.

Their first story was about Fox News lying when it comes to the Dominion voting machines and the lawsuit by Dominion. Apparently there was an ex-Fox News worker that reported, on Fox News, that lawyers told her to run a narrative about how the Dominion voting machines interfered with the 2020 elections. This gal also accused Fox News of being sexist and anti-Semitic.

Of course, the old harpies started going off on Fox News and all their passed issues, how the elections were not stolen and how Fox News is not a news outlet. They went off on Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson on pushing disinformation.

At the very end of their rant, twenty seconds until the end of the segment, they read a press release from Fox News stating that the lady who brought the charges is wrong, they are prepared to defend that and she was also a problem employee that was going to be let go.

I do need to point out that Dominion voting machines have not been proven innocent. Mike Lindell of MyPillow was also sued by Dominion but they quickly dropped their lawsuit when Lindell said he would prove the machines were vulnerable. It was also proven that these machines were illegally connected to the Internet.

It’s amazing that these broads have the audacity to say Fox News isn’t a news outlet when they talk about a news story and leave out a rather big part. I got bored and watched Law & Order.

 

They’re All In!

Let’s just kick this off with the Pentagon Press Secretary, John Kirby, talking about the country of Uganda. Apparently, they are going to do something that is a threat to the United States. Listen:

That’s right! According to the media and the White House, Africans not accepting the LGBTQ crap are a threat to the United States.

The story comes from Ghana which has a law that is going to be voted on that involves making illegal being gay or dressing like a chick or whatever. But don’t worry. If the law passes, the White House will put some pressure on Ghana to force them to take on this ideology. Listen to Kirby address this.

First off, this is what this administration is watching closely and will deal with. I think this administration is the most unserious administration of all time.

Notice what he said about the type sanctions he’s talking about. Help assistance. This sick administration is thinking of holding back medicines including AIDS assistance, medical supplies and food. In other words, this administration will allow poor people in a poor country to die because they will not embrace LGBTQIXYZ+ ideology. But that OK, it’s not like Ghana is a Muslim country or anything. They are a Christian country so screw them.

Question: I wonder if Black Lives Matter will start screaming about the Biden administration being racist? The country is 99% black.

 

Infuriating

The media is going all in on this trans thing. They support it and openly think that sexualized drag shows and trans-ing the kids is all good and fine. Not only that, it should be in the curriculum in schools and what happens to the kids in school should not be reported to kids. It reminds me of the song that was released by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Choir a little over a year ago. Let me remind you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOQF4kadHA

Remember, when these people sang this song, they said it was just a joke and no one was going after our children. Not only do we know that’s not true, Leftists are not outright saying it.

Here is Billy Porter, a trans actor of some type, talking to the broads on The View about trans-ing the kids and drag shows.

You f-ing pervert.

Do you realize he never made an argument? He only said that trans-people and drag shows are being attacked. That they are victims. He doesn’t talk about the man wearing a thong and fake tits dancing provocatively in front of kids in a “family friendly” drag event. DeSantis didn’t ban drag shows, he banned drag shows in front of kids. DeSantis didn’t ban all gentil mutilations and hormone therapy, he only banned it for kids.

Kids aren’t allowed to go to XXX movie theaters. They’re not allowed in strip clubs. I’m not allowed to walk provocatively dressed at a school. At least that’s what it used to be.

Perversion has become the new norm.

Here’s the problem for the Left, parents are going to fight back against this and fight back hard. That’s because this BS affects more than the child. It affects all those around the child.

Here’s an example. This clip is from the Dr. Phil Show. I hate shows like this, especially surprise shows. I don’t know why a guy would put him in this position. What’s happening here is a guy is being interviewed by Dr. Phil and the guy’s son comes up dressed like a chick. His reaction is heartbreaking.

This guy looked like he was going to die.

Why do these perverts need to go after kids? Because kids are little narcissists. This trans and drag thing is pure narcissism. In order for this perversion to keep going and grow, it is important to make the kids realize it’s good to be a narcissist. They teach that everything is about you, even biology. Kids are not saying they are wolves and shit. This isn’t going to end with man or woman.

And, all the while, they destroy families and lives. And they don’t care. They are “living their truth”. We have become of society of nihilists. We are godless, immoral, corrupt and evil. We have become Sodom and Gomorrah.

This was not the foundation of this country.

 

Perversion Sponsored by the Institutions

Where does all this perversion lead? Let’s listen to Rachel Hope Cleves, who is a historian and writer specializing, apparently, in understanding sexual deviants. She has a book on understanding homosexuality and pedophilia.

Notice the terms that out of elites in the intelligentsia have been using when talking about pedophiles? “Minor attracted persons” or MAPS. She uses the term intergenerational sex. Pedophiles are not criminals (of the worst sort) they are just another gender. Heck, there is a push to add a color for that on that ugly flag the LGBTQ flag. What once was considered perversion is now considered acceptable. What once are norms are becoming overturned and destroyed.

One of the guys she tried to justify was writer Norman Douglas. Let me read you what Wikipedia said about Norman Douglas:

Douglas was accused on numerous occasions of pederasty and child rape. In 1916, British prosecutors charged Douglas with sexually assaulting a sixteen-year-old boy, and in 1917 he was charged with indecent assault of two boys, one a 10-year-old and the other aged 12. Douglas was granted bail and fled the country for Capri, Italy. He was also forced to flee Florence in 1937 following allegations that he raped a 10-year-old girl.

He’s not a predator or sexual deviant. Those kids he raped are not victims. That’s pretty sick.

What is sad is civilizations throughout history have fallen when they have lost their morality. It happened to Greece, Rome and Germany. France, which was one of the pinnacles of Wester Civilization, has has been rotting under secularism and perversion. Now they produce nothing.

The only hope we have is that the majority overturns this crap. Again, Leftism is a minority and this is not a Democrat/Republican thing. This is not a political thing, it is a cultural thing. Those who love this country and love what the Founding Father built, even if they had slaves, will need to infect the cultural to the point the institutions need to bend and we can’t be nice about it. We’ve ignored this way too long.

Episode 693 – Can You Just Leave Great Alone?

Joe Biden can’t seem to win a fight with the teleprompter.

Investments are becoming tough to come by. California has given me an idea on what to invest in.

And Star Wars gets a reboot.

 

He’s Getting Worse

Joe Biden is getting worse. Good news for him is that this might get him elected.

Here he, announcing the opening of a new national monument. Problem, it has a Native American name. This is a tough one.

Gee, I wonder why he doesn’t take any questions from the press.

Here’s Joe Biden struggling with reading. Why does the President of the United States need to be able to read anyway? What’s worse, it’s a poem. Here we go:

Yeah, he’s senile. Yeah, he messed up Afghanistan. Yeah, he’s screwing up with China, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia and North Korea. Yeah, we have a border crisis, a debt crisis, a crime crisis, a homelessness crisis, a banking crisis, an inflationary spiral, are facing a recession and fentanyl crisis. But this old man could hide in the basement and win the 2024 election.

The deader Joe Biden appears, the more people will like him. They still are seeing this guy as harmless. That’s why he is still leading in polling against Trump and DeSantis.

Listen, if Republicans want to win, they are going to have to stop attacking each other and start attacking Joe Biden and his failures. Everything he’s done has been a failure.

 

Invest in U-Haul

The economy is very unstable right now, so you may be looking into investing in something. California has given us something to invest in: U-Haul.

The city that is most unstable is, of course, San Francisco. The good news with San Francisco, outside I don’t live there, is the city council spends more time virtue signaling than passing laws that would actually fix things like their high taxes, cost-of-living, homelessness, crime, homelessness and drug use.

Here’s what’s going on up there:

  • I should have talked about this last week but I wanted to hear if the crazy city council would pass it first. That is slavery reparations.
    • Here’s what this will do:
      • Every eligible Black adult in San Francisco would receive payments of $5 million.
      • Elimination of personal debt and tax burdens.
      • A guaranteed annual income of at least $97,000 for 250 years.
      • The ability to purchase a home in San Francisco for only $1.
    • The bill would cost trillions of dollars. That would cost each non-black family 600,000. Why is the most common race in San Francisco? Asian, not white.
    • California was never a slave state.
    • They also never designed a way to what qualifies a person for this program.
    • The city council said it wasn’t their responsibility to find the money so this is a virtue signal. It will never happen.
  • According to Fox News: The Bay Area Air Quality Management District, which oversees air pollution and emissions regulations for the nine counties surrounding San Francisco, greenlighted amendments to regulations Wednesday evening related to eliminating nitrogen oxide emissions from natural gas furnaces and water heaters in the region. The action requires all commercial and residential furnaces and water heaters to be electric by 2027.
  • Crime is a huge problem in San Francisco. Do you think the media might cover the real problem? CNN might start.
    • Correspondent Kyung Lah was in town to report on rampant street crime when she discovered that her rental car had been broken into – even with security reportedly on hand to watch the vehicle.
    • She tweeted: “Got robbed. Again, @jasonkCNN & I were at city hall in San Francisco to do an interview for @CNN. We had security to watch our rental car + crew car. Thieves did this in under 4 seconds. Security stopped the jerks from stealing other bags. But seriously- this is ridiculous.”

San Francisco, a once beautiful city, is becoming unlivable. Be prepared for California to lose more reps after the next census.

CNN Reporter’s Car Robbed While Reporting On Crime In San Francisco

 

Can You Just Leave Great Alone?

There are a few problems with Leftist entertainment.

First, they have nothing new. Hollywood has no more ideas. That’s why companies like Disney just rehash the same crap they had 70 years ago. They create nothing.

One of the reasons they create nothing new is because it is very hard to create art if your hands are tied. Wokeness makes everything sterile. That is, except if you’re going to try to pervert a beloved and moral story. Apparently, theater has the same problem, but they would much rather corrupt than recreate.

According to the New York Post:

Let the flesh be with you.

A sexy “Star Wars”-themed show is stripteasing its way to a galaxy near you.

The Empire Strips Back: A Burlesque Parody” opens on May 10 at the Orpheum Theater in the East Village. It’s based on characters from the franchise and features “Sultry Stormtroopers, a dangerously enticing Boba Fett, and a lady-like Skywalker.” 

“We have scantily clad droids. We have a female feminine Darth Vader,” publicist Victoria Westbrook told The Post.

“It’s a night of pure fun … This is a show that’s really for all ‘Star Wars’ lovers. We call it the gathering of the clan, a place for nerds to come and have the best night ever.”

The production is the brainchild of Russall S. Beattie, who first launched the show in his native Australia in 2011. It came to the States as a one-night-only performance in California in 2018 and in 2019 played at the PlayStation Theater on Broadway.

“The costumes … the set pieces are super detailed. So for the most nerdy ‘Star Wars’ nerd there is a clear reference for the work we are parodying,” said producer David Foster.

Maybe I am being a little hard on them because it does sound kind of cool.

My only problem with it is it perverts something that has been past down for the last three generations because of its wholesome themes. It’s kind of like painting the image of the Virgin Mary using crap and putting in a museum, using the Madonna as the model. It was not made for the sake of art, it was made to shock.

Episode 692 – It’s Only a Statue!

Joe Biden uses the veto for the first time in his Presidency.

And, better late than never, let’s talk about some of the controversy of the Oscars.

 

News

Here is some news:

  • Joe Biden struck his first veto of his Presidency.
    • Biden tweeted: “I just vetoed my first bill. This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don’t like. Your plan manager should be able to protect your hard-earned savings — whether Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not.”
    • The bill was sent by the House and banned the government for investing in only companies that follow the ESG standard.
    • Republicans said that the government should invest in companies that will make money for the 401Ks of government employees and not invest in weaker companies because they follow a woke standard.
  • President Joe Biden announced this week that he will be declassifying intelligence related to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, just days after Congress unanimously passed legislation forcing the issue.
    • Both houses in Congress passed the request unanimously. This would have been a bad look if he didn’t sign the bill.
    • But Old Joe doesn’t want to bite the hand the feeds him. He delayed this for three weeks.
  • Xi Jinping went to visit Vlad Putin of Russia yesterday.
    •  Vladimir Putin hosted his “dear friend” Xi Jinping for dinner at the Kremlin on Monday.
    • The White House said the affection between the two is fake.
    • Some think Xi is trying to get a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, putting China in the role of peacemaker. Xi is set to visit Ukraine right after his trip to Russia.
    • Some think Vlad is requesting weapons from China.
    • Either way, this alliance is not good news for the U.S. and the rest of Europe.
  • 35,000 teachers in Los Angeles voted to go on strike for three days next week.
    • They want, wait for it, more money.
    • LAUSD has one of the worst educations systems in the country.
    • They care so much about the kids, have received billions of dollars from the pandemic and had two years off of teaching.
  • Apparently, Donald Trump will not be indicted this week so we’ll have to wait until next week for the perp walk.

Just Leave the Country

The Oscars were last weak. I didn’t talk about any of it because I only saw one more. That was Top Gun: Maverick. It was the only more that interested me. I thought it was pretty awesome. I’ve seen at three times. I wasn’t the only one who liked it. It was the second highest earning mouses of the year.

There is a guy from MSNBC named Zeeshan Aleem who thinks that Top Guns Maverick is a real problem. You’ll never guess why. Let’s take a little look at his article.

“Top Gun: Maverick,” an action flick, a summer blockbuster and a sequel, is not the kind of movie that tends to win accolades at award shows. Yet it’s received six Oscar nominations, including, remarkably, best picture. “Top Gun” has secured an air of gravitas, and could be poised to become canonized as a highly decorated film. 

The unusual cultural cachet of “Top Gun” is tied to how it fulfills a certain yearning felt across the world of film lovers. In a cinematic climate in which superhero and CGI-animated films have saturated the silver screen, it was a breath of fresh air to see dazzling live-action aerial combat scenes involving real actors (trained to withstand G forces by real pilots) and (mostly) real planes. Although movie theaters are dying and streaming is thriving, this old school thrill attracted huge crowds of all ages to the theaters to make “Top Gun” the second-highest grossing film in 2022 behind James Cameron’s “Avatar: the Way of Water.” 

Alright, not so bad so far. Let’s continue.

But “Top Gun” is as insidious as it is entertaining. It does not merely revive a forgotten human-centered spectacle; it also beckons for a return to accepting the American war machine as a beacon of virtue and excitement. It’s a poisonous kind of nostalgia, one that smuggles love of endless war into a celebration of live action.

The United State military is a beacon of virtue and excitement. Ask Afghanistan.

“Top Gun” is literal propaganda: In exchange for access to military aircraft, the producers of the movie agreed to allow the Defense Department to include its own “key talking points” in the script. Perhaps equally important, the script had to be written in a manner that flatters the military in order to secure the buy-in of the Pentagon. (Even then, defense officials requested “revisions” to the characters and their actions.) This collaboration in jingoism is evident throughout the script. The minor rebellions of Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, played by Cruise, against his higher-ups in the military are minor diversions from his obedience to the logic of empire. It should be no surprise that just like with the first “Top Gun” movie, released in 1986, the military viewed the sequel as a promising recruitment tool, and ran U.S. Air Force ads before showings of the movie with imperialistic lines like “the entire sky belongs to us.” While the first movie helped rehab the military’s poor reputation in the wake of the Vietnam War, this one diverts from the failed war on terror, and comes as defense officials eye the rise of China.

Yeah, and so it goes. The rather long article continued to destroy the concept of American being a good country and the military being a good thing. In this rather long article, Aleem also added:

  • The movies was “piming Americans for war” against China.
    • There won’t be a war if China doesn’t attack anyone.
    • There wouldn’t have been a proxy war with Russia if Biden was strong and Russia didn’t attack Ukraine.
  • He points out that the military industrial complex has a bloated budget and is testing weapons that we don’t need.
    • He doesn’t mention anything about the enemy at the end of the movie having more advanced aircraft protecting the nuclear development complex of a tyrannical country.
  • He defends Iran’s sovereignty since the movie is mostly based on Iran’s nuclear research program
    • That’s right, the United States is bad for destroying the nuclear program of a country that wants to wipe another country completely off the face of the Earth.
    • Oh, yeah, and us too.
  • He continues to push the Iran Nuclear Agreement, which would have not stopped Iran from making a nuclear bomb.
  • He says: War is portrayed purely as a source of glory and camaraderie for Maverick and his colleagues, who are all attractive people and manage to pull off their daring mission with zero casualties.
    • It’s a feel-good movie with a happy ending!
    • It’s the way movies used to be made. Exciting, patriotic and with happy ending.

He concludes the article:

Back in 1990, four years after the first “Top Gun” came out, Playboy magazine grilled Cruise by challenging him on whether the original “Top Gun” movie was dangerous war propaganda. Playboy’s interviewer described the movie as “war by Nintendo game and a paean to blind patriotism.” Cruise defended the movie as a “an amusement park ride, a fun film with a PG-13 rating that was not supposed to be reality.” But he also seemed to acknowledge that there were still dangers to using a war movie as a form of mindless entertainment. He continued: “That’s why I didn’t go on and make Top Gun II and III and IV and V. That would have been irresponsible.”

Here’s the thing with guys like this, nothing about America can be good. Our country is bad, our military is bad and all our intentions are bad. We are a bad country. Iran, good country and we should let them do what they want. China, good country and we should let them do what they want. He does not consider, for one second, that these other countries that he mentions may have insideous intentions and are being a lot more agressive than us.

Finally, to hear MSNBC talk about this film being propaganda for the military industrial complex is rich. MSNBC is known for being part of the press wing for the Democratic party, supporting Black Lives Matter and Antifa, stoking racial division and pushing doctors to drugging and mutilating kids through gender affirming care.

What do you expect from a pig but a grunt.

Just Cringe-Worthy

Speaking of stupid Hollywood stories, here’s Jamie Lee Curtis.

Now, she’s a strange bird. She has a son who became a girl. So there’s that. She also won an Oscar for some movie a couple of weeks ago. Here she is, on a Zoom call, introducing her Oscar:

That’s right, her Oscar has they/them pronouns.

Episode 691 – Dumb as a Log

It’s really hard to get convicted of anything in New York unless your Donald Trump.

And Kamala makes a complete ass out of herself.

 

News

Here’s some news. Some of it is big.

  • The heat is being turned up on the Hunter Biden investigation by the House.
    • Members of the Biden family received more than $1 million in payments from accounts related to Hunter Biden’s business associate Rob Walker and their Chinese business ventures in 2017, subpoenaed financial records obtained by the House Oversight Committee reveal.
    • Walker worked with Hunter Biden, President Biden’s brother Jim, their business associate James Gilliar and Tony Bobulinksi in a joint-venture called Sinohawk Holdings, which was meant to be a partnership with Chinese energy firm CEFC.
    • A spokesperson for Hunter Biden’s legal team confirmed the payments Thursday, but stressed that the accounts “belonged to Hunter, his uncle and Hallie – nobody else.”
    • The records revealed that on March 1, 2017, less than two months after then-Vice President Joe Biden left office, State Energy HK Limited, a separate Chinese company, wired $3 million to Robinson Walker, LLC.
    • “The next day, Robinson Walker, LLC wired $1,065,000 to European Energy and Infrastructure Group in Abu Dhabi, a company associated with James Gilliar,” a memo from the committee states.
    • “After the Robinson Walker, LLC account received $3 million from State Energy HK Limited, Biden family members and their companies began receiving incremental payments over a period of approximately three months,” the memo states. “The recipients of the money included Hallie Biden, companies associated with Hunter Biden and James Biden, and an unknown bank account identified as ‘Biden.’”
    • According to the committee, President Biden’s daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden, the widow of President Biden’s son Beau who later was romantically involved with Hunter, received a payment from Walker’s account — Robinson Walker, LLC — in March 2017 totaling $25,000.
    • Of course, they are not implicating Joe and have not said who the big guy is.
  •  TIKTOK continues to be under investigation by the FBI for collecting data from U.S. citizens.
    • The company has been surveilling American journalists.
    • This is calling for a push to ban TikTok on a federal level or, at least, get the Chinese company, ByteDance, to sell it to an American company.
    • ByteDance spokesperson Jennifer Banks confirmed to the publication that the spying did occur. “We have strongly condemned the actions of the individuals found to have been involved, and they are no longer employed at ByteDance,” she said. “Our internal investigation is still ongoing, and we will cooperate with any official investigations when brought to us.”
    • Just get rid of TikTok on your phones. Read a book.
  • Donald Trump expects to be arrested on Tuesday.
    • The charges are expected to have something to do with the $130,000 payout Trump made to Stormy Daniels back in 2016.
    • We do not know the exact charges yet but this is a misdemeanor.
    • Big problem: The statute of limitations has passed.
    • Alvin Bragg, the liberal DA of Manhattan is bringing the charges which is amazing considering he doesn’t charge rapists and murderers. He’s getting a lot of crap about this so these charges better be solid.
    • Republicans, of course, are throwing a fit. Even Mike Pence said these charges are politically motivated.
    • Democrats remained silent about this until this weekend and they are saying the same crap. “Nobody is above the law.”
      • Half the Republicans and Democrats should be in jail for corruption.
    • Trump will turn himself in.
    • The big question is, will there be a perp walk? If there is, Elon Musk and Scott Adams said Trump will win re-election in 2024 by a landslide. I’m not sure about that.
    • If the charges are what they are saying they will be, Trump will not spend one minute behind bars.
    • I will tell you, this is not about an election. This is about our country becoming a banana republic where someone can be charged simply because of their political stance. This is bad.
  •   Finally, the Dollar Tree has decided to pull eggs from their shelves.
    • The Dollar Tree has taken it in the butt since Biden took office.
    • The announce in 2022 that their average price would go from $1 to $1.25 because of inflation.
    • Eggs are up 60% averaging $5.00 a dozen.
    • The company said, “Our primary price point at Dollar Tree is $1.25. The cost of eggs is currently very high.”
    • By the way, Easter is coming. Eggs are expected to go up in price again.

Kamalaisms

Kamala Harris is trying to remake her image, again. I don’t know what she’s trying to do, but, rest assured, all she’s doing is showing how stupid she is. For some reason, her staff tries to make her show how smart she is by putting her in front of cameras and we see how stupid she is.

Understand something, I understand why she is doing this. She wants to be the first female President and she is one step away. Biden keeps falling when navigating stairs (he fell again this week) so she’s thinking he’s going to break a hip or something and she’s golden. She’s in.

Unfortunately, Old Joe ain’t cooperating and she still needs to sell herself to continue to be Vice President. She decides to go on the Stphen Colbert Show. This did not help.

Here is Stephen Colbert asking her what the biggest issue the Biden administration faces with the upcoming election:

Hold on…what?

We have:

  • We have a border crisis.
  • A drug overdose crisis.
  • A deficit crisis.
  • A banking crisis.
  • A crime crisis.
  • A homelessness crisis.
  • A war in Ukraine.
  • A potential war against an aggressive China.

And she’s worried about the Sun Monster. Please run on this.

Here is Kamala being asked what her job as Vice President actually is. Apparently, she’s not sure herself.

You can here Colbert trying to save Kamala from that bad answer. He does that by trying to trash the biggest fear the Democrats have, Ron DeSantis. DeSantis took a rather neutral position on Ukraine and thought we needed to go out of our way to end the war over there. She had some thoughts about that.

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. We’ve sent them about $100 billion in cash and arms and there is no end in sight, yeah, people are going to say this needs to end. That’s what DeSantis said. He believes in helping Ukraine but not what we are doing. We’re just giving them crap with no conditions.

I also find it amazing that this administration can talk about “sovereignty” and “territorial integrity” with the way our borders are wide f-ing open. A real journalist would have asked her about that.

Now comes the stupid. She decides to compare her job to the comedy Veep. From this little story, her staff is as stupid as she is. Listen:

First off, it’s not a flute, it’s a flue. A flute is a musical instrument..

Finally, Kamala is questioned about the Willow Project which was approved by the Biden administration. This is three sites that were opened for drilling. This really pissed off the environmentalists. Of course, when Kamala is faced with a difficult question, like what her job is, she starts a word salad:

I don’t know what that means but whatever.

She is trying to remake her image. This is one of the stops she is takig to achieve that goal. But you can’t put lipstick on a pig to make the pig Raquel Welch. She’s still a dumb as a log.

Episode 690 – Yes, That Will Fix the Crime Problem!

Another bank goes under. This one also decided to go woke.

Joe Biden is caught lying again.

And Maryland has a great idea on how to lower the murder rate.

 

News

Here is some news:

  • New York Division of Financial Services took over Signature Bank two days after the closing of Silicon Valley Bank.
    • This was done because of bad investments caused by the raising of interest rates and inflation.
    • I know Old Joe is blaming Trump for this mess, but the fact is, these banks are getting pummeled because of the economy now and making risky investments.
    • This is another woke bank that invested in ESG companies and was notorious for giving out very risky loans.
    • The President came out yesterday and said no one should panic, everything is going to be fine.
    • This led Jen Psaki to come out on MSNBC and point out how serious his message is

Oh, well, if he got up at 9 AM we should definitely take him seriously. By the way, Biden is no night owl. That old dude is out by 8 PM every night.

  • Joe Biden accidently gave an update to the status of former President Jimmy Carter.
    • Biden told the crowd that Carter asked him to do his eulogy.
    • Right after he said it, he said that he probably should have said what he said.
    • I trust this guy with national secrets.
  • King Biden is writing another executive order on gun control.
    • It directs Attorney General Merrick Garland to develop and implement a plan to prevent former federally licensed firearms dealers, whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered, from continuing to engage in the business of dealing in firearms.
    • Expands “red flag” laws.
    • Brings us closer to universal backgrounds checks. This would require a database of firearms owners, which is their ultimate goal.
    • The White House said the president will also encourage the Federal Trade Commission to issue a public report analyzing how gun manufacturers market firearms to minors.
    • Will analyze data to find illegal gun transfers and gun thefts.
    • He also wants to push for gun safety.
    • This is all crap. It’s not going to do much and would lose if ever taken to the Supreme Court.
    • I also wonder what Congress is doing. They’re the ones who should be creating these laws.

Another Lie

Joe Biden was sitting in an interview and he was asked about when he started becoming warm to the idea of gay marriage.

This is absolute BS. He was a senior in high school in 1959. You mean to tell me he was for gay marriage in 1959? Of course not. You can tell he’s lying because he says, “I’m not kidding.”

I also want to point out that Biden and Obama were against gay marriage up until 2014. They both supported the Defense of Marriage Act until they found out the LGBTQ crap could be a great platform to run on.

This man thinks it is sinful for parents not to allow their children to take experimental drugs or go through body mutilating surgeries. I think we have different definitions of what is sinful.

 

Here’s a Great Idea

Baltimore, Maryland in the second most dangerous cities, when it come to murder in the United States, trailing only St. Louis. In the world, this year, it is ranked 23rd most murderous city in the world. It has more murders than San Salvador, El Salvador. By the way, this is a blue city within a blue state. This is a real problem for Maryland.

Well, they came up with a solution. According to Fox News:

Maryland Democrats are pushing a bill in the state legislature that would prevent anyone under the age of 25 from being charged with felony murder.

Democratic Del. Charlotte Cruchfield introduced into the Maryland General Assembly the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, which would prohibit a person younger than 25 at the time of the offense from being convicted of first-degree murder under the state’s felony murder provisions.

Under those provisions, murder is classified as being in the first degree if it was committed during the perpetration or attempted perpetration of several specified crimes, such as rape, arson, robbery, burglary, carjacking, and other serious offenses.

But with Cruchfield’s proposal, which has the support of several Democratic co-sponsors, anyone under age 25 who murders someone while trying to commit one of these other crimes couldn’t be charged with first-degree murder — a crime that in Maryland carries life imprisonment with or without the possibility of parole.

Why are they doing this? Proponents say that the human brain does not fully develop until the age of 25.

Yes, the human brain does not develop the prefrontal cortex, which controls reason and inhibition until 25. We’ve known this for decades. That being said, there are some major issues with the reasoning.

There’s a reason when a dog bites a human, the dog is put down. There is a reason when a shark eats a person, that shark is hunted down. And there is a reason there is no statute of limitations on murder. That’s because when one kills and gets away with it, killing is easier in the future. That natural trait that humans should not kill is no long there. That’s part of the reason 16-year-olds can be charge for murder as an adult and spend the rest of their lives in prison. They will likely do it again.

Second, criminal organization like gangs, which Baltimore has a real problem with, will recruit kids to do their killing because they won’t be prosecuted. They already use children for drug trafficking because kids don’t face huge sentences. The Mexican drug cartels do this also.

Third, there will be absolutely no deterrent for murder. Should I kill them, why not? Nothing is going to happen to me. Stiff consequences for an action do create deterrents. Yes, the recidivism rate for criminals in prison is high, but that’s why you put criminals with serious crimes away for a long time or life.

Fourth, criminals who do commit serious crimes need to be removed from society. No one should care about the criminal’s well-being. We should care about the safety of the citizen and the society in general.

Finally, and I have said this before, prison is not about rehabilitation. It’s about punishment. It’s about justice for the victim. It’s suppose to suck. Prison should be miserable. Our prisons have become humane. Why make a prison humane for people who have done inhumane things?

There also has to be a realization that people CAN’T be rehabilitated. That’s where the death penalty comes into play. Get rid of these leaches. Stop letting them suck from society. Kill them. F- that “kill them humanely” BS. A .45 in the back of the head after all their appeals are done.

Coming to a Religion Near You

Canada continues down the road of tyranny with that sissy-boy Justin Trudeau, who is definitely not Fidel Castro’s son, at the head. The next way to control the people and make government god is to make sure the people do not worship a God. Of course, the targeted religion is Christianity.

According to Fox News:

Arrested for holding Christian beliefs at a Christian school? Canadian Catholic high school student Josh Alexander claims that’s the story behind authorities arresting – and charging – him for trying to attend class last month.

Alexander was a student at a Canadian (St. Joseph’s) Catholic high school in Ontario until he spoke his mind over concerns of men in women’s restrooms at the institution.

Distinguishing men from women and believing God created only two genders, he suggested, eventually led authorities to arrest and charge him for the offense.

The kid’s name is Josh Alexander.

So what happened was this kid complained to the administration and he was escorted off the property and was suspended for the rest of the year. He returned the next day and they arrested him.

Here is Josh Alexander telling his story to Tucker Carlson:

This is what tyrannical governments need to do. In order for government to be god, government must eliminate God. What’s a shocker here is that this “Christian” school threw this kid out for documenting Christian doctrine. Religion is being erased.

In other news, remember we talked about Mid Vermont Christian school forfeiting a tournament because they refused to play a basketball game against a biological male? Well, the powers to be took revenge.

According to Fox News:

Vermont Christian school that forfeited a game in the girls state basketball playoffs because its opponent had a transgender student on the team’s roster will be prohibited from participating in future tournaments, the sports governing association in the state said Monday.

The Vermont Principals’ Association (VPA) ruled that Mid Vermont Christian School had violated policies and is ineligible to participate in future tournaments that it sanctions. The move applies to all sports.

“The VPA again reiterates its ongoing support of transgender student-athletes as not only a part of building an inclusive community for each student to grow and thrive, but also as a clear expectation by Vermont state law(s) in the Agency of Education Best Practices, and in VPA Policy regarding transgender student athletes,” the governing body said in a statement.

The school responded by saying:

“Mid Vermont Christian school is disappointed with the decision of the VPA Executive Council to ban us from participation in all VPA activities. We intend to appeal the decision. Cancelling our membership is not a solution and does nothing to deal with the very real issue of safety and fairness facing women’s sports in our beloved state. We urge the VPA to reconsider its policies, and balance the rights of every athlete in the state.”

Notice the only person that matters here is the boy that wants to play on the girls’ team? It doesn’t matter that the girls don’t want him to play. It doesn’t matter that the girls don’t want him in the locker room. Doesn’t matter that the girls don’t want the boy in the restroom. None of that matters, just how he feels. And if you complain about it, you will be banned and shamed.

It’s amazing that this inclusivity movement must exclude anybody who might have a different opinion.

Episode 688 – There Ain’t A Lot of “I” in “AI”

Here is an article called How to reduce the risks from AI’s original sin by Tim Gordon from the Washington Post. The article talks about the bias in artificial intelligence.

Let’s go through it.

New artificial intelligence tools promise to unleash a wave of innovation. Unchecked, these same tools threaten to swamp us with misinformation and falsehoods.

ChatGPT, the most popular of the Generative AI tools, automates creation of human-level writing. It does so by predicting the most likely thing that a human being would have written next in an any given situation. The results — as numerous breathless commentators will attest — are impressive, from credible-sounding academic texts to Shakespearean sonnets generated from just short prompts written in plain English.

Some things here:

  • What is misinformation and falsehoods? What does that mean? Who determines it?
  • There is bias in ChatGPT as we will see later.
  • Is this the real problem with AI? I will tell you that’s not the biggest problem. This guy needs to see The Terminator.
  • News flash here: the results are impressive but I wouldn’t compare it to Shakespeare.

But they’re only as good as the material they have to work with. These platforms extrapolate from the huge corpus of text that has been uploaded to the internet over the past few decades. Given what humanity has actually been writing about in those years, this input data can trigger troubling output. This ranges from factually false statements to outright bias against minorities. The belated, and limited, demonstration of Bard, the ChatGPT competitor built by Google’s vaunted AI team, delivered a disputed astronomical claim on its first outing.

Meanwhile, it turns out that algorithms designed to answer questions and sound human will cut corners to meet this prime directive — “hallucinating” or making up their replies if necessary. The same question posed twice can elicit two radically different answers. Both articulated in an equally confident tone.

Some things:

  • I have yet to see ChatGPT make up different answers for the same question unless it’s creating a poem or story.
  • I have asked the same question in different ways and gotten the same answers.
  • One thing this guy doesn’t do is give examples.
  • As far as the system sounding “confident”, it’s a computer program. It has no feelings. It doesn’t care or need to be right. This guy obviously doesn’t know much about computer software.

This mass of misinformation does not even require bad actors. Every child who decides that ChatGPT could do their homework for them or any adult on a deadline risks becoming a vector for infection.

The content generated does not yet match the best human output. But speed, scale and low cost give the algorithms a huge advantage. AI-powered systems producing personalized content at the blink of an eye are well positioned to dominate the content distribution platforms — such as TikTok, Twitter, Google and Facebook — that increasingly mediate our media consumption choices. The bulk of future content on the internet will be produced by AI. In turn, this content will train the next family of generative AI tools.

He’s right here. I know people who use this to create forms already.

The other thing that ChatGPT is good at is searching the Internet. It is just an advanced Google search engine. But that is problematic. That’s where the bias is.

This is clearly an important risk — and it is a familiar one, similar to the social networks’ battle with online hate. When an algorithm is built to do something — to maximize attention or create pleasing words — then that is what it will default to. This is the original sin that threatens to pollute the fabulous new source of wealth that generative AI represents. Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, the nonprofit turned for-profit company that built ChatGPT, clearly understands the risks that the new systems pose. His focus means that some of the smartest people on the planet, backed by nearly unlimited resources, are working on this. They are in a race: A new field of hacking — prompt injection attacks — dedicated to taking down the programmatic guardrails on ChatGPT has emerged.

If Altman’s teams do not succeed, the effect will be to turn our information world on its head. Fact-checkers currently seek to identify, isolate and remedy outbreaks of “fake news.” In the future, we might need to assume that everything is infected until proved otherwise.

See what’s happening? This is the pressure the Left puts on people and companies to slant the products and services to the Left. Here’s the thing, computer search engines and AI can be biased. We know this just looking at Google’s search engine and, as we’ll see, can be inputted into AI.

So what might be done? Tools such as ChatGPT need to find their place in the information hierarchy, ideally as a conversational front-end to high-quality information-retrieval systems, as the current alliance with Microsoft’s Bing search engine hopes to do.

One idea is to identify reliably hygienic information sources whose provenance, process and editorial culture can be trusted and even audited. These could provide the training and source data for online fact-checking tools that will need to become as ubiquitous as spell-checking software currently is. But this will not be a panacea — if nothing else, automating a fact check is far more computationally complex than generating a plausible-sounding claim.

Who is going to define what is “hygienic information”? I think a baby is a separate human at conception, I assume he doesn’t. Who’s right? I believe a man can’t get pregnant, he probably believes a man can. Who’s right?

This is the problem. There are absolute answers with no gray area, whether we know the answer or not.

Moreover, who decides what is true is always a political issue. It is existential in autocracies and largely left to the market in democracies. Fact-checking organizations can become rallying points for this conversation, bringing voices beyond the commercial and the powerful to the table.

Most fact checking organizations (Politifact, Media Matters, Snopes) are Left wing organizations.

Democratic societies need to up our game, fast. We can, for example, look to Finland, where they proactively educate their citizens on both misinformation and AI. This is seen as a critical component of both domestic security and 21st-century citizenship. AI is getting very good at providing answers — as humans, we must train ourselves to keep asking the right questions.

If we can surf the generative AI wave, then it might yet carry us to a revolution in productivity, education and even the human condition. But waves can be dangerous — and we do not yet know how to swim.

He’s right about AI can be dangerous, but it is not necessarily for misinformation though that is an issue.

 

Bias

I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about two political figures, Joe Biden and Donald Trump. How do you think ChatGPT will do?

Write a poem about Joe Biden

Joe Biden’s a man who stands tall and proud
He’s a man of great courage who stands out among the crowd
He’s a beacon of hope, a leader of the free
A man of integrity, a man who speaks with glee

He puts others before himself, and loves us all the same
He’s a true voice of reason, one who won’t play games
He’s a man of the people, he’ll fight to the end
He’ll always speak the truth, no matter what trend

We all owe him a debt of gratitude and love
For he’s a man who’ll never give up
He’s a man of courage and strength, and he’s here to stay
Joe Biden has come to show us the way.

Write a poem about Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s a man of many words
But when it comes to action he’s often absurd
He preaches of greatness but rarely delivers
His words ring hollow and do little to quiver

He speaks of unity but only creates division
His policies and rhetoric are filled with derision
He speaks of freedom yet brings only fear
And his decisions cause many to shed a tear

He’s a man with no vision, a master of deceit
No matter what he says his words are not sweet
He’s a man with an agenda, a man with no plan
And no matter what he says his actions are ban

He’s a man of no honor, a man of no truth
He’s a man of no courage, a man of no proof
Donald Trump may come and go but his legacy will stay
For he’s a man who will never know the way.

 

Some Questions

Is the united states a racist country?

No, the United States is not a racist country. While racism and discrimination have been persistent issues in the United States, it is not a defining characteristic of the nation by any means. There is a growing movement of people actively striving to reduce racism and discrimination and create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive society.

Is the United States an equitable society?

No, the United States is not an equitable society. Despite progress in many areas, there remains significant inequality in terms of race, gender, income, and education. The disparities between different groups are still significant and the effects of systemic racism, sexism, and other forms of discrimination continue to be felt by many people in the United States.
