We get some more virtue signaling from an odd source.

The Sweet Baby Gang cult leader lights up the trans argument.

And the worst song since the “I Love You, You Love Me” Barney song has broken a new record. I’ll let you guess what the song is.

God Help Our Youth

According to the IndiaPress:

In a first, a YouTube video breached the 10 million views mark, and no points for guessing it’s none other than ‘Baby Shark’! Yes, the catchy children’s song that even made an entry on Billboard’s coveted Hot 100 chart, managed to create another rare milestone on Thursday (January 13), making it the most-viewed video in the platform’s history.

That’s right! One of the most annoying songs that has ever been written has gotten 10 billion (with a “b”) views on YouTube. It blew by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s ‘Despacito’, which only has 7.7 billion views.

Some News

Here’s some news that I’m not going to expand upon today. We will in the coming days but I think we’re going to get more information later:

• As of right now, the Dow Jones has fallen nearly a thousand points. Many economist point to a few things for this:
  • We could be going through a correction. The Nasdaq has fallen too and moth markets have fallen since the beginning of the year.
  • The issues between Ukraine and Russia heating up.
  • China threatening Taiwan is becoming an issue. Taiwan makes a lot of our technology like processor.
  • The Biden administration throwing up their hands with inflation and throwing it to the Federal Reserve which is going to raise interest rates.
• Russia could invade Ukraine at any moment.
  • Biden has given Putin permission for a “minor incursion” which was a real f-up.
  • The President has not ruled out sending troops and has put 8.5 thousand troops on high alert.
  • 40,000 NATO troops have been put on alert though NATO seems a little stand-offish with fighting with Russia.
  • Lethal weapons have been sent to Ukraine from the U.S. government.
• China has sent a sortie of planes over Taiwan again. It was bad enough that Taiwan scrambled their fighter jets. China is being emboldened by Russia.
• The TSA has announced that they are using the arrest warrants that illegal aliens get when crossing illegally as identification to board airplanes.

I Thought You Ate Them

In an attempt to become woke, Mars Inc., the makers of M&Ms, has decided to make their mascots, which are the little colored candies that are trying to eat each other all the time, more inclusive.

According to The Daily Beast:

What qualities are the most important for a modern, progressive woman to possess? On Thursday, Mars provided its customers with an exciting new answer: her shoes, of course. Alongside an announcement of its “global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong,” the candy company behind M&M’s rolled out a redesign of their beloved mascots. Preparing their “lentils” for a “more dynamic, progressive world,” the characters are now being spotlighted for their “personalities, rather than their gender.” Apparently, that translates to gifting each with a fresh set of new kicks. Green is swapping her white, heeled go-go boots for a “cool, laid-back pair of sneakers,” according to Mars, while Brown (formerly Ms. Brown) will sport kitten heels instead of stilettos. The two female members of the cast, Green and Brown will also be trading in their traditionally competitive relationship to start “throwing sunshine and not shade,” Mars said.

Changes will include:

• The green M&M will be even tennis shoes instead of the retroactive go-go boots.
• The brown M&M, which has been a bossier character, will sport shorter heels and actually be the boss. They are also going to drop the Ms. title for something else.
• The red M&M, who has been kind of a bully, will be kinder to the other M&Ms.
• And the orange M&M, who is so neurotic that he can’t even tie his shoes, will come to grip with his mental disorders and will have his shoes tied from now on.

Cathryn Sleight, Mars Wrigley’s chief growth officer (there’s a title for you) said:

“M&M’s has long been committed to creating colorful fun for all, and this purpose serves as a more concrete commitment to what we’ve always believed as a brand: that everyone has the right to enjoy moments of happiness, and fun is the most powerful way to help people feel that they belong.”

All the world’s problems are solved.

Even the mainstream media is chuckling at this obvious attempted virtue signal. The Washington Post released one article that questioned the purpose of doing this. He said this was an obvious attempt to make the company look woke and would have no impact on anything. Another Washington Post op-ed spent a thousand words asking another simple questions: Can we still eat them or have M&Ms become so inclusive as to deserve the same rights as we do? I don’t think that’s a bad question. It’s stupid but not a bad one.

These companies don’t get it. They are solving nothing with these little (very little) contributions. They are just targeting, what they think, is towards a niche market that’s going to make them more money. That’s what this whole thing is about. Money. It’s not about changing the world. The cartoon green M&M wearing tennis shoes instead of go-go boots in not going to solve all our ills. Or any of them. It’s stupid.

Let’s not piss on Mars Wrigley Inc. All companies do it. Coke was telling us to be less white. Gillette told men they were toxically masculine. Just last week, Audi said some woke crap that got a laugh on social media. The problem these companies have that jump in the woke pool so late is we all see it and get what they’re doing. They look stupid and conformist, even to woke outlets.

They’re not accomplishing what they set out to do, which is make money. They’re just pissing off customers like me that won’t buy their products.

This Is What’s Needed

Last week, I missed the Dr. Phil Show. This shouldn’t be too much of a surprise because I do not watch a lot of day time television. But this show was different. One of my favorite talk show hosts, Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire, was on to debate transgender issues with a couple of transgender folks.

I missed it because I was wasting braincells watching the Bide press conference and just forgot about it but the highlights were posted and they were delicious.

At first a trans couple, one a trans man and the other a trans woman, discussed their lives, their efforts as consultants to companies to trans acceptance and their philosophy on the trans lifestyle. I do want to point out that since one is a biological woman and the other is a biological man, the two are actually a heterosexual couple. Weird.

Anyway, here are the clips.

In this clip, Matt Walsh blows the crap out of the entire trans argument.

Here’s the part on Dr Phil where I demonstrate that the “gender experts” cannot even define the word woman or explain what they mean when they use it

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) January 19, 2022

Some things:

• This is a disastrous argument for the trans community. They are trying to convince all of civilization that being trans is, not just normal, but natural.
• Normal is subjective and changes with time. Nature is absolute and cannot be changed, no matter what people think.
• If these two cannot answer what a woman is, then there really is nothing to transition to.
• Womanhood is not a subjective thing. It actually exists. We’ve proven it. We’ve mapped it all the way to the DNA and no one can change that.
• Walsh does a good job shooting the guy down with the science.
• The person goes into the “what if she can’t have children” argument, which is a dodge and Walsh doesn’t buy it. He’s already scientifically defined a woman. His turn.
• Here is the big problem with the trans ideology: It is all based on individual subjectivity. That’s how the Left argues on everything. It’s about how I feel and I manipulate science to reflect my feelings.

Here is another great argument about the idiocy of pronouns:

My preferred adjectives are handsome and brilliant. Please respect my self-identification.

pic.twitter.com/HSxR4t2yKy

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) January 19, 2022

Some things:

• Again, women are objective beings and language, including pronouns, are objectively used.
• People can’t just change language based on their feelings.
• Again this is all about objectifying subjectivity.
• By the way, for telling your child, you can serve prison time in Canada for conversion therapy.

On the show comes a college professor (of course). She asks Matt a question he has answered hundreds of times before:

.@mattwalshblog on why he cares about biology and gender identity: "I care about the truth…I care about children and these insane ideas about gender are being foist on kids…I care about the woman who are having their opportunities stolen from them." pic.twitter.com/heU145LGGM

— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) January 19, 2022

Some things:

• This is a stupid question because it is the trans community that wants us to care. They are pushing this crap on us on a daily basis.
• They are pushing this crap on our kids. They believe kids should be able to go on hormone therapy and have sex change surgeries without parental consent.
• This crap is being taught in schools with no dissenting views.
• And this whole things goes against nature and I refuse to be part of it.

But one of the more disturbing trends from the trans community is how men are encroaching on the women’s world, places where women should feel safe. That includes women’s sports, restrooms and locker rooms. In Louden County, Virginia, a girl was raped by a boy dressed in a dress in the girls’ restroom because he was allowed to use it. The school district covered it up and the kid was moved to another school where he did the same thing. Parents fear for their children’s safety and privacy.

A man who thinks she’s a woman joined the women’s swim team and has broken all the women’s records. Opportunities for women in sports is disappearing. And the trans community is using Title IX to get what they want. The same rule that gave the opportunity to have sports.

Well, sharing restrooms became a topic. Joining the show were a couple of parents that had a daughter that was assaulted in a restroom by a trans girl, who is actually a boy. Listen:

Wherein the woke professor claims that girls getting raped in the bathroom isn’t a safety issue

pic.twitter.com/ncZyiUMbz8

— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) January 19, 2022

That’s what it comes down to: The feelings of the trans community is more important than the feelings of anybody else. That’s because the trans community is highest on the victim list. Doesn’t matter the tragedies that occur or the feelings of the majority of people, just that the minority feels good. This is the poison that is identity politics.

So, who won the debate? We can tell easily by the response to the debate:

Matt Walsh is being called a transphobe. But it is Dr. Phil that got the crap-end of the stick. Here are some responses:

“Truly f*** Dr. Phil for this. Why would you invite a nonbinary person onto national television just to be humiliated by an outspoken transphobe? Who is this for? Who does this help? Man f*** you.”

This is a great response because the writer is admitting Walsh destroyed the trans activists.

“Dr. Phil you’re a scumbag for even giving this guy a platform to spread his bigotry. Your show needs to end if y’all are so desperate for ratings that you’ll stir the pot for drama while knowing it’s wrong.”

Another said:

“Of course Dr. Phil would invite Matt Walsh onto his show…they are both white males who think they know entirely more than they really do.”

There’s that identity politics again. It’s not just that Matt Walsh is wrong and this is why. It’s because he’s a straight, white male. These people don’t understand, two things can be right at once: Matt Walsh is a straight, white male and he’s right. The fact that nobody had a response to his questions shows that there is no argument.

Rest in Peace, Meatloaf

The rock singer Meatloaf died last week. He was 74. He is most famous for his song I Will Do Anything for Love, But I Won’t Do That from his Bat Out of Hell album.

A little more about him:

• He was born in 1947 in Dallas, Texas.
• When his singing career started he toured with The Who and the Grateful Dead.
• He also did stage performances. In the early 1970s, he starred in the musicals Hair and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• In the late 1970s he released Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell II, which both went platinum.
• He was also on screen in movies such as Wayne’s World, Formula 51 and Fight Club.

He was a very talented singer.

Here he is, singing the National Anthem at one of the MLB All Star games:

The Los Angeles DA continues not to do his job.

J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter fame gets cancelled again.

And do our kids really need to be pulled further from reality?

They Don’t Care

Remember in my podcast yesterday, I talked about how miserable Los Angeles was and how Josie was completely surprised about it? I told her it was because nothing was illegal.

Well, Los Angeles District Attorney, George Gascon, has decided to create a program for juvenile criminals so that they don’t automatically get locked up.

The program is called “Restorative Enhanced Diversion for Youth Pathway” and is meant to send the fledgling criminals to rehabilitation instead of Juvenile Hall. I actually thought that Juvenile Hall was a form of rehabilitation.

The felonies that would qualify:

• Burglary
• Assault without firearms or extensive injuries
• Vehicle theft
• Robbery
• Grand theft person
• Sexual battery
• Arson

I don’t know about you but those seem like some pretty serious felonies. Sexual battery? Arson? It sounds to me that these people may need to be punished along with being rehabilitated. In all these crimes, there are victims. What about their rights to live without having to worry about being assaulted.

Deputy DA Jonathan Hatami is not thrilled about it at all. He says that this is a slap on the wrist for some very serious felonies. He said:

“Diversion means that we’re not charging anybody, So, if we’re not charging anybody, they don’t go through the court system. So you can’t give them any sort of programs that are monitored through the court.”

This has been tried in New York and Chicago and, guess what, it doesn’t work. So, good for Los Angeles. Time to move if you can because things are just getting worse.

We Have Too Much Time on Our Hands

This is a story that really shows the state of this country and how good we actually have it here that this is a story.

According to the New York Post:

The sport inspired by “Harry Potter” is going full muggle.

US Quidditch and Major League Quidditch said in a joint news release that they will change their name, citing author J.K. Rowling’s outspoken views on transgender issues.

JK Rowlings basically said that men are men and women are women and men who say they are women should not be able to compete in sports against women. That’s transphobic, apparently.

I thought that was common sense.

The league’s statement:

US Quidditch and Major League Quidditch said in a joint news release that they will change their name, citing author J.K. Rowling’s outspoken views on transgender issues.

Our sport has developed a reputation as one of the most progressive sports in the world on gender equality and inclusivity, in part thanks to its gender maximum rule, which stipulates that a team may not have more than four players of the same gender on the field at a time,” the leagues’ statement said. “Both organizations feel it is imperative to live up to this reputation in all aspects of their operations and believe this move is a step in that direction.

If you have never seen Harry Potter and don’t know how to play Quidditch, you’re not alone. It is a fictional game where kids fly around on brooms trying to hit a ball into a goal while two others chase a thingy. If the thingy is caught, game over. If not, the team with the most goals wins.

So, I had to watch what a typical game in this league looks like. Basically, it’s water polo on grass while the players run around with a ball while holding sticks in between their legs.

This has become a story in this country. My God.

IT’S NOT REAL!

If you thought that the last story is an example of people not being in touch with reality, wait until you hear this story.

According to the New York Post:

Meta revealed the incident on Dec. 1, saying it occurred on Nov. 26. The woman had reported the assault on the Horizon Worlds beta testing Facebook group.

“Sexual harassment is no joke on the regular internet, but being in VR adds another layer that makes the event more intense,” she wrote, according to the Verge. “Not only was I groped last night, but there were other people there who supported this behavior, which made me feel isolated in the Plaza,” the virtual environment’s central gathering space.

I have an Oculus and I love it. It is great with families, playing the saber games. We cast the VR to the television and we can all watch as we play and hear what’s going on. We played some of the horror games and my house mates watched as we took turns playing. They said it was like watching a movie. It’s a lot of fun.

It also gives a lot of exercise. You’re sweating after some of these games. But I do have some issues with what Facebook is doing with this. I understand why they are doing it. It’s a great idea. I just don’t think it’s good for a society that is already disconnected from each other. We’ll get more into that in a few minutes.

Further down the article:

In its statement about the incident, Meta pointed to its “Safe Zone” feature, which allows users to place a block against interaction with other users. However, the company admitted that it needs to work on making the feature “trivially easy and findable,” said Vivek Sharma, the vice president of Horizon, in a statement to the Verge.

Meta spokesperson Kristina Milian also told MIT Technology Review that users are required to complete training that covers safeguarding tools before joining Horizon Worlds, while reminders are also prompted during users’ experiences.

We have to have safe spaces in a video game. That’s what Oculus is, it’s a video game.

Sexual harassment in virtual reality is sexual harassment in real life, full stop, experts have said.

“At the end of the day, the nature of virtual-reality spaces is such that it is designed to trick the user into thinking they are physically in a certain space, that their every bodily action is occurring in a 3-D environment,” Katherine Cross, a Ph.D. student researcher of online harassment at the University of Washington, told Technology Review.

“It’s part of the reason why emotional reactions can be stronger in that space, and why VR triggers the same internal nervous-system and psychological responses,” she added.

No, sexual harassment in VR is not the same as sexual harassment in life. This is the problem. If sexual harassment in VR is real then I am a mass murderer because of the games I’ve played Call of Duty. I am a batterer because I played Mortal Combat. I am a Jedi because I play Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. I can promise you, I am not any of those things.

This is also a real insult to women who are actually sexually harassed. And where does it end? Will we have virtual rape? How about virtual murder? Are we going to have to create laws, now, to counter virtual crimes? Are we going to see civil lawsuits? See where I’m going with this?

We, as a society, are already having problems with reality. We think men can be women. We think the 1619 Project is real history. We have become lazy and fat. Now, with virtual reality, we don’t even need to get off the couch to meet with people, to socialize.

Finally, do our kids really need something like this? The Internet has been the greatest blessing and the worst curse. For me, it is all human knowledge at my finger tips. Whenever I have a question, I look it up. But for our kids, who have always had this technology, it has become life itself. Look at a 15 year old with a phone. He is constantly on it. Their entire lives become content on social media. They cannot actually socialize with people directly. They text.

Any you can tell it is affecting our kids. Drug addiction and overdoses is up. Depression is up. Our population is shrinking. I believe, in 10 to 20 years, one will need to be 21 to own a smart phone because we will have found the damage that they are doing to these generations.

Opinion

This is Christmas week and, as you can imagine, the Grinch’s on the Left are going all out to convince everyone that we should be miserable during one of the best, and most revered holiday for Christians, Christmas. There is an opinion article from the Washington Post called I Hate Christmas and You Should Be OK with That by Brian Broome.

I read this thing because I pay for the service and I love to hear what these idiots have to say. This article left me with one question which I’ll get to after I read you the article.

I can feel it now the way a buzzard can smell carrion from miles away. The dreaded season is here, even if the commercials started long ago. The ads feature beautiful people wearing violently colorful sweaters and pouring fine liquor into glistening glassware. The stores where I buy my meager Hungry-Man frozen dinners now explode with silver and red in a gaudy celebration of unchecked, poinsettia-riddled capitalism.

I didn’t like Christmas in part because the steel mill where my father worked had closed. That news did nothing to stop the commercials with shiny, happy, children opening reams of colorful paper to reveal the things that they’d always wanted. The ads seemed to suggest that the more stuff you got, the better person you were. I learned through those commercials that good people got presents and that my family was trash. I took it into me every year like communion.

What a sad, cynical, little man. Can you imagine how miserable this man is? This is not someone I would want anything to do with. I know, (well, knew) people like this. I wanted nothing to do with them. They were downers.

I told you there was a question I had after I read this article and it goes to the Washington Post: Why? What made he editor say, “This is an awesome article! Let’s run with it!”? If I listed all the reasons I liked Christmas, would they publish it?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/12/12/why-brian-broome-hates-christmas/

Time to panic again. We are all going to die.

I would like to say, Rest in Peace, Build Back Better.

And, can we have it too good? The answer is yes if the last story is actually a story.

Panic For Nothing

The world is going insane again. Why?

Omicron!!!

Yes, a new variant of the China virus is out and the world is on fire!

• California has implemented a news mask mandate for 30 days (which means forever.
• New York is threatening to shut down the entire state.
• They are arresting people in New York City for not showing police their vax cards.
• Kids can’t go into a movie theater without being vaxxed.
• Schools are thinking of going back to online learning.
• They are now testing vaccines on infants.
• Germany and Holland have completely locked down and are segragating vaxxed from non-vaxxed.
• Israel has issued a travel ban.
• Australia has concentration camps that people are trying to escape from. Sorry, I meant happy, fun camps. With fencing and bars.

Joe Biden has summed it up:

We’re all going to die!

The Biden administration is even contemplating setting a vaccine mandate, along with their mask mandate, on all domestic flights. Merry Christmas!

The NIH with Dr. Fauci said, exactly the same thing:

White House COVID Response Coordinator tells unvaccinated Americans to be prepared to die:

“You're looking at a winter of severe illness and death.” pic.twitter.com/HU5d7WJ9YH

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) December 20, 2021

OK, not so fast.

You know who isn’t panicking? South Africa, the genesis of the new strain. They report that omicron spreads than delta but is far less dangerous. Even the symptoms aren’t bad. Just that of the common cold. In fact, South Africa reported that they did not have one death from omicron.

I’ll go a step further, there have only been 7 confirmed deaths according to Forbes. Forbes said we should panic and this proves omicron is not just a mere cold but he never mentioned co-morbidities, health issues or statistics. And to say colds aren’t dangerous is a bit of a stretch. Colds are viruses and are just as dangerous to people with compromised immune systems, but he doesn’t want you to think about that.

There have been no deaths in the United States yet. California, which is thinking of shutting down again, has 43 cases as of this writing. I’m sure there will be more and some will die but all indications say that this virus is nowhere near as deadly as delta and because it spreads so easily, will overwhelm all the previous variant. That’s a good thing and how viruses are designed to be.

We probably need to stop panicking and just living life again.

They’ve Got It

There are some industries now pushing back. The CEOs of both Delta and Southwest were testifying in front of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. They had some news that might set Tony Fauci off.

John Laughter, Delta Air Lines’ Executive Vice President & Chief of Operations said:

“We continue to electrostatically spray our aircraft interiors with high-grade disinfectant and use HEPA air filters to remove 99.99% of airborne particles onboard.”

He was pressed about this and he continued:

“Part of the discussion on the HEPA filters on board the aircraft was to understand what that air turnover rate was, and how the air quality onboard the aircraft would compare to other facilities. I think we all generally agree now that the cycle of the way air turns over in a pressurized air cabin, and the filtration system is superior to many indoor spaces that you can be.”

United Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said:

“Yeah, I think the case is very strong that masks don’t add much if anything in the air cabin environment. It is very safe, and very high quality compared to any other indoor setting.”

American Airlines CEO Doug Parker agreed:

“I concur. The aircraft is the safest place you can be. It’s true of all of our aircraft, they all have these HEPA filters and the same airflow.”

These are men that are in charge of the health and safety of their passengers. They have the most to lose if there is ever a super spreader event in one of their flights. They also know the science and innovation behind their planes. They invested into that technology. They say we don’t need masks on planes. Should we listen to them?

Tony Fauci says, “no”:

Q. “Are we going to get to the point where we won’t have to wear masks on airplanes?”

Fauci: “I don’t think so.”

pic.twitter.com/PI4gvLGuhs

— Mary Margaret Olohan (@MaryMargOlohan) December 20, 2021

So there you go. Should you listen to the men who are in charge of the technology and are fiscally responsible for the safety of passengers or shall we listen to the doctor who hasn’t practiced since the 1970s, has been wrong about everything for his entire career and seems to spend more time on CNN and MSNBC than reading data and statistics and has been lying since the beginning of the pandemic?

Just and FYI before you answer this rhetorical question. There has not been one instance where air travel has started a super spreader event. Not one.

Fun Note

This is funny and actually a good idea as a form of protest.

According to the New York Post:

A Florida man was reportedly banned from flying United Airlines after wearing a red thong as a face covering while boarding a flight in protest of the federal mask mandate.

Adam Jenne, of Cape Coral, told NBC 2 that his Wednesday morning antics at Fort Lauderdale Airport got him booted off a plane bound for Washington, DC.

“It’s all nonsense. COVID doesn’t know that we’re at cruising altitude. It’s stupid. The whole thing is theater.”

Apparently, this guys has pulled the same stunt on several other flights but was never kicked off.

United Airlines released a statement:

“The customer clearly wasn’t in compliance with the federal mask mandate and we appreciate that our team addressed the issue on the ground prior to takeoff, avoiding any potential disruptions [in] the air.”

My question: How was he out of compliance? Was the thong covering his nose and mouth? If so, why is that different than any other piece of cloth?

R.I.P.

Joe Manchin put the final nail into the coffin of Joe Biden’s Build Back Better bill:

Now, is this a surprise? Of course not. This has been his stance all year. He has a very realistic view of the economy and the text of the bill. He’s also from a very red state and, if he voted for this bill, he would lose his next election. Joe Biden is dying in the polls and does not have any power over Manchin. There’s just no reason to vote for this bill.

But it’s not just Joe Manchin like the media is portraying. Kyrsten Sinema, who has been rather quiet about this bill, has said that she wasn’t interested in this bill and there are several purple state Senators that are thrilled at the thought at not having to vote for this thing.

You can imagine the response from the Leftists.

Jen Psaki released a statement:

Senator Manchin’s comments this morning on FOX are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances. Weeks ago, Senator Manchin committed to the President, at his home in Wilmington, to support the Build Back Better framework that the President then subsequently announced. Senator Manchin pledged repeatedly to negotiate on finalizing that framework “in good faith.”

On Tuesday of this week, Senator Manchin came to the White House and submitted—to the President, in person, directly—a written outline for a Build Back Better bill that was the same size and scope as the President’s framework, and covered many of the same priorities. While that framework was missing key priorities, we believed it could lead to a compromise acceptable to all. Senator Manchin promised to continue conversations in the days ahead, and to work with us to reach that common ground. If his comments on FOX and written statement indicate an end to that effort, they represent a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.

Couple of problems here. First, Joe Manchin never said in public that he was for Build Back Better. So someone is lying here. I wonder who.

Second, is this the way one says when he’s trying to get him on board? Calling him dishonest? Has that ever worked? And, as stated by Ben Shapiro, this could indicate that the Biden administration is giving up and knows nothing will pass.

Believe it or not, this was the most reserved response. Ilhan Omar got a little testy:

"We all knew that Senator Manchin couldn't be trusted. The excuses that he just made, I think, are complete bullshit." @IlhanMN to @AliVelshi pic.twitter.com/qFQmqr1Wui

Some things:

• Saying that Manchin is not trustworthy and bad for his state is just not a thing to convince him of anything. They have been doing this for months since Manchin has been against this.
• This also shows the “We are right and you are wrong” mentality of the Left. They want compliance, not debate.
• Machin explained why he is against this bill. These people only tell you what the government will give you and then lie about the cost.
• I don’t understand the whole thing about politicians cussing. It doesn’t sound intelligent and it is not a debating point.
• Notice she never brought up why he wrong just all the presents BBB will give?
• Machin put out an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal explaining exactly why he was against this plan.

Of course, AOC had some comments:

AOC says Dems have “every right to be furious with Joe Manchin.”

“It’s really about time that we take the kid gloves off and we start using them to govern for working families in this country.” pic.twitter.com/XFZ2H2RNKD

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) December 20, 2021

She, again, never addresses Machin’s well-documented arguments. I think it’s because she doesn’t understand them because her little brain can’t process things. She just blames Manchin for being a liar which is weird because he’s always been against this thing.

But her last statement is what ticks my curiosity. Does she really think we believe the Democrats haven’t been vicious against people who disagree with them? And what does it mean that Democrats are going to take off the “kid gloves”? Normally, I don’t think much about words like this but these people are radical. What can we expect? BLM and Antifa putting themselves into the fray and we always know how that ends up.

But nothing would be more complete unless we heard from the author of the Build Back Better bill than Bernie Sanders. He’s pretty pissed too:

If Joe Manchin does not have the guts to stand up to the powerful special interests, he's going to have to explain that to the people of West Virginia who are hurting and hurting badly. pic.twitter.com/U5OeNlk6ea

— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) December 19, 2021

Some things:

• Just an FYI to Bernie, he would never win in West Virginia so Joe Manchin couldn’t care less what Bernie Sanders thinks. I know that most of the citizens don’t care what Bernie has to say.
• Again, insulting Manchin as being a coward and a liar is an interesting take.
  • It’s not going to convince Machin to joining “the cause”.
  • Isn’t Manchin the brave one? He doesn’t believe in the BBB and he is bucking his own party. His committee assignments are determined by the Democrats.
• All that crap Bernie lists has already been explained by Joe Manchin in his Wall Street Journal article.
• The ironic part of Bernie saying that climate change is what Manchin is going to have to explain is that Bernie wants to get rid of all the jobs that West Virginia has because of climate change.
  • West Virginia is a coal producing state. Bernie wants to eliminate all those jobs.
  • If Manchin votes for this bill, he’s going to have to explain why his constituents why they lost their jobs. I doubt climate change is going to cut it.
  • They know, in West Virginia, that their jobs are on the line because 11,000 were lost when Bernie cancelled the XL pipeline.
•  Bernie does this all the time and I don’t understand why he remains popular. He’s all over the place. He’s always bitching about something, mostly, taking other people’s money.
  • The drug companies.
  • The rich.
  • Special interests groups.
  • Big corporations.
• You know what? I hope they do vote on it. That way, this stupid bill will go away.

Republicans puss out on the debt ceiling.

Prices are sky high and it’s all part of the plan.

And Germany is now going insane.

There Goes the Debt

Congress approved a $2.5 trillion debt ceiling increase, ending months of debate between Democratic and Republican leadership.

The New York Times reported:

Democrats were united in support of the measure, which passed the Senate 50 to 49 along party lines on Tuesday afternoon and then cleared the House in a 221-to-209 vote shortly after midnight on Wednesday. Republicans opposed the legislation en masse, with only one, Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, voting in favor. The bill now heads to President Biden, who was expected to quickly sign it.

The swift action came a week after party leaders announced a deal to establish a one-time fast-track process to increase the debt ceiling with a simple majority vote, instead of the 60 votes needed to move most legislation through the Senate.

I’m against raising the national debt limit because is non-sensical. Basically, we are paying off our credit card by getting the maximum balanced on that credit card to make our credit card payment.

Let’s take a look at the national debt.

It is currently at $28.9 trillion. If you divide that by the 100.5 million households that pay taxes (100,424,240) that comes to each family needing to make up $287,859 per family. Don’t forget, the government produces nothing, makes no money. They only spend. When the government says “they have to pay our bills” they pay nothing. They take it from us and we pay for it.

This is why I don’t want to government raising the debt ceiling. I want them to stop spending. Like us in real life, the government needs to be fiscally responsible. Unfortunately, there are going to be consequences. But, guess what? Those consequences are going to happen no matter what.

That $287K is going to have to be paid. Either we do it now or our grandkids will do. We are going to default eventually. We are going to have to cut our spending. It is looking like we’re going to end up in austerity which means China is going to be making decisions on our economy.

I’d rather do it now so I suffer and not me grandchildren.

Going Up and Up and Up

On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that consumer price inflation in the United States has reached a rate of 6.8% — the largest year-over-year increase since June 1982, as well as the sixth straight month in which inflation remained above 5%.

If you think that’s bad, businesses are getting killed. It has been found that wholesale prices, those are the prices businesses pay to provide us goods, are up a whopping 9.6%. What does that tell you is that businesses are losing money.

Ben Ziesloft of the Daily Wire had a list of products that are going up.

• Gas — 58.1%
• Used vehicles — 31.4%
• Hotels — 25.5%
• Meat, poultry, and fish — 13.1%
• Furniture and bedding — 11.8%
• New vehicles — 11.1%
• Domestic services — 10.2%
• Jewelry — 6.7%
• Electricity — 6.5%
• Food — 6.1%
• Apparel — 5%
• Milk — 4.6%
• Fruits and vegetables — 4%

The AP reported:

45% of American households report that recent price increases are causing their family some degree of financial hardship. Ten percent describe it as severe hardship affecting their standard of living, while another 35% say the hardship is moderate…

Lower-income households are most likely to have experienced financial hardship due to price increases. Seventy-one percent of those living in households making less than $40,000 a year say that recent price hikes have caused their family financial hardship. That compares with 47% of those in middle-income households and 29% in upper-income households.

That’s who inflation hurts. The poor. They need their money to go further.

The Biden administration has no answers for this. At first they said the economy was getting better. Then prices kept going up. Then they said it was transitory. The prices kept going up to the point we know a lot of this is permanent. Then they said it was fine because wages were going up. But rising wages turned out to be 3% behind inflation.

Well, Jenn Psaki is coming up with the new excuse:

Jen Psaki blames increases in meat prices on "the greed of meat conglomerates." pic.twitter.com/NlSXwIcUTP

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) December 14, 2021

That’s right, it’s the evil Big Meat industry is greedy. They are saying the same thing about the car industry. Here’s the problem with this argument:

• Prices are not determined by greed. They are determined by supply and demand.
• If prices were determined by greed, another company producing the same product would corner the market by lowering prices.
• She says the same thing about the car industry. Why are used cars up in price too?
• Also, is every industry greedy? Everything is up.

This is not a conspiracy theory. I’m going to prove.

Inflation is done on purpose. It is part of AOC’s Green New Deal. It is the way that the Biden administration is going to change the way our economy works which is what was promised in 2020.

Let’s look at this and compare it with the news or my past podcasts:

• Cost of gas, cars, used cars, hotels – Barrack Obama told us to change our habits when it comes to travel. AOC said we need to stop using fossil fuels.
• The price of meat and milk are up because cows fart, according to the Green New Deal.

This is part of the deal. That’s why people like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are saying that inflation is not much of an issue. That’s why the media is saying that it’s not much of an issue. The media tells us we should lower our expectations and change the way we live life. That’s why they keep pushing climate change. Because our suffering is to save the planet.

Good news! People aren’t going to tolerate this. The Leftists are going to find this out at the ballot box next year, especially when they tells us we should not travel to see our families on Christmas because of the China virus.

Just Silly

Germany is going insane.

According to CNN Business:

A man who slipped down the stairs and broke his back while walking from his bed to home office can file a claim on his employer’s insurance after a court in Germany ruled that he was commuting at the time…

The man, an area sales manager working for a company identified only as “R-GmbH” was on his way to work “from his bedroom to his home office one floor below,” when he slipped and fractured a vertebra, according to a statement issued by the court on Wednesday.

His employer’s insurance initially refused to cover the claim.

But because he was walking down the stairs, for the first time that day straight to his home office, the court considered his journey to be “insured as an activity in the interest of his employer, as a commute to work.”

Now walking from one room to another is considered commuting and is covered by the business that you work for.

This is happening

A tragedy strikes the Midwest and the media won’t let it go to waste.

California has become a sanctuary of evil.

Gavin Newsom of California needs to learn a book.

And the assault on art and history continues.

Tragedy

At least 30 tornadoes were reported throughout Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. The largest tornado that struck the region tore through more than 200 miles in Kentucky.

The death toll, as of right now, is 80 but is expected to go much higher.

An Amazon facility and an old folks home were among the facilities destroyed.

On Saturday, multiple disaster-aid and humanitarian groups deployed to multiple states to help tornado victims, including the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, World Vision and Samaritan’s Purse. California also sent search and rescue specialists to help Kentucky.

That Didn’t Take Long

Joe Biden was asked about the tornado storm and he had to bring up his narrative.

Dude, they haven’t even found everyone and you have to bring up climate change?

Here’s a news flash for old Joe: tornadoes happen every year at the same time. They’ve been happening for centuries. Most years, it’s not a big deal. Some years, we get a big storm. what would be strange is that we didn’t have any tornadoes. Then we should be worried about climate change.

But it wasn’t just old Joe.

Here’s the farting, commie f-er, Eric Swallwell:

Mark Ruffalo tweeted:

Never let a good tragedy go to waste. Especially when there are dead people. Dead people really bring the message home, right?

I don’t think these people understand that their message is so cynical, so exploitative that it’s a turn off. They actually look like political fools that only care about their message.

An Act of Evil

California has a great idea. In order to become the most evil and f-up state in the country, they’ve decided to push against the anti-abortion cases in front of the Supreme Court.

If Roe vs. Wade is overturned, they have decided to become an abortion sanctuary state. But it gets worse.

The Ken-doll governor of California, Gavin Newsom, said:

“We’ll be a sanctuary. We are looking at ways to support that inevitability and looking at ways to expand our protections.”

By the way, overturning Roe vs. Wade doesn’t end abortion in California. In fact, it gives the state the ability to expand abortion. But California wants more.

The state’s council stated:

“If our state’s abortion provider network is to provide timely care to California patients and absorb any significant portion of the increase in out-of-state patients projected should Roe be overturned, California must take steps now to ensure the growth of a network of clinicians trained in abortion and sexual and reproductive health care.”

Here is their plan:

• Funds to support the work of abortion fund organizations, abortion providers, and other community-based
  organizations that secure practical support needs for patients. These funds, drawn down over a medium term number of years, are needed for direct logistical and practical support for patients such as gas, lodging,
  transportation, child care, doula support, food, lost wages, etc. Funding is needed as soon as possible with
  allowances to apply for funds to reimburse for expenses in 2021.
• Invest in the development of an abortion access landing page for centralized information for people seeking
  abortion care in California. Patients need a central location to access information about potential providers,
  insurance information, practical and procedural support options, the types of abortion available to them,
  language access and assistance information, and much more. This centralized system has long been needed for Californians but is now made even more urgent due to patients trying to find information and services in our state following restrictions being imposed where they live.
• Funding for practical support infrastructure, capacity building, coordination, and safety measures for
  providers, clinics, patients, and funds. People seeking abortion services in California should be able to have
  one point of entry to connect to the nearest abortion provider, obtain coverage or financial support for their
  appointment, and get practical assistance and resources for logistical and economic needs. As such, there is
  a significant need for flexible funding streams for abortion patient navigators and case management support,
  specifically to staff abortion fund organizations and providers who offer practical support.
• Improve access to and capacity of Medi-Cal Transportation Services. Studies show that large swaths of
  the state lack access to local providers – in 2017, some 40 percent of California counties had no clinics that
  provided abortions. Transportation Services, which are offered to every Medi-Cal beneficiary, must be better
  utilized. To facilitate this, DHCS should make this benefit easier to utilize in order to improve access to abortion
  services. Actions should include, but are not limited to, easing prior authorization requirements that delay care
  for time-sensitive services like abortion and working with providers and plans to encourage wider use of this
  existing benefit by abortion patients.
• Improve the education pipeline by creating a California Reproductive Scholarship Corps, open to those
  training as physicians, nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives, physician assistants, and in other health
  care professions with diverse and/or rural backgrounds dedicated to providing abortion care in underserved
  areas in California.

So, in essence, the state of California wants to take the tax money that I am forced to give them and build up and abortion infrastructure, pay for women who don’t live in the state to come here, be housed here, pay for their lost wages, pay for their abortions and pay to have doctors violate their Hippocratic oath to learn how to perform abortions.

And I have no say about it.

By the way, the state has no solutions for:

• The homeless problem.
• The drug problem.
• The mental health crisis.
• The crime problem.
• And we are already a sanctuary state for illegal aliens (which we can’t say anymore because that has been banned from California).

Time to leave this state.

Um, That’s Illegal

I am not sure what Gavin Newsom did before he became a politician but you know it wasn’t a lawyer.

Newsom, emboldened that he won the recall election and wanting to build upon that abortion sanctuary thing I talked about a few minutes ago, has decided to design a gun law that mimics the Texas abortion law.

He released a statement:

“I am outraged by yesterday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing Texas’s ban on most abortion services to remain in place. But if states can now shield their laws from review by the federal courts that compare assault weapons to Swiss Army knives, then California will use that authority to protect people’s lives, where Texas used it to put women in harm’s way.”

So, let me get this straight: We have crime in California to the point the LAPD’s head of the officer’s union is telling people not to come to Loa Angeles because LAPD cannot guarantee their safety and homeless and drug addicts are passed out on the side walks and he wants to take away our ability to protect ourselves?

This isn’t going anywhere no matter how Gavin Newsom spins it. And it shows how stupid Newsom is. He thinks that abortion in a Constitutional right. Therefore, if Texas can curtail abortion, California should be able to curtail guns. Here’s the problem, the 2nd Amendment is very clear. The government shall not take away the right to bear arms. All arms. People were allowed to own canons. Abortion is not mentioned at all in the Constitution. In fact, the Supreme Court is weighing in on whether the Supreme Court should have weighed in on abortion in the first place. If not, they overturn Roe and Casey and the states make the decision.

At that point, if those precedents are overturned, the Supreme is ruling that abortion isn’t in the Constitution. The guy needs to learn to read.

War on Art

The war on art and history continues. I wanted to talk about this last week but I never got to it.

Destroying History

The statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that formerly stood in the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, will be donated to an African American heritage organization, where it will be melted down and turned into another public art piece.

According to the Daily Wire:

The City Council of Charlottesville voted unanimously, 4-0, to donate the bronze equestrian statue of Lee, which was removed by the city in July, to the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, whose initiative, “Swords Into Plowshares,” received the support of people and organizations including the Descendants of Enslaved Communities at the University of Virginia, as well as descendants of slaves who worked at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, Fox News reported. The organization will also inform the public of the project’s development via a “community engagement process.” The organization raised some $590,000 to finance the project.

According to Jefferson School’s executive director Andrea Douglas

“Our hope with ‘Swords into Plowshares’ is to create something that transforms what was once toxic in our public space into something beautiful that can be more reflective of our entire community’s social values. We’re giving people opportunities to engage with our own narratives and our own histories. This project offers a road map for other communities to do the same.”

Remember how the Leftists said that they didn’t want to destroy art, they just wanted it moved out of public view. Yeah, no. They want to destroy the art and our history. This statue is 100 years old and want it destroyed. I don’t care what people think of Robert Lee but he was a honorable man and was part of our history. He was forgiven by Abraham Lincoln.

By the way, when are they going to tear down Lincoln’s statues?  I also can’t wait to see what these people build out of this statue. Maybe a George Floyd statue?

Going Woke

The 900 year old Notre Dame Cathedral cannot escape wokeness.

According to the Daily Wire:

The plans, overseen by Father Gilles Drouin, include removing confessionals and altars from the 13th-century edifice and replacing classic artwork and sculpture with modern “street art.” The culture ministry has confirmed that “street art pioneer Ernest Pignon-Ernest, as well as other modern artists such as Anselm Kiefer and Louise Bourgeois, are among the names being considered for display when new art installations replace some of the little-used 19th-century confessionals,” reports AFP.

The plans to renovate the interior of the Gothic masterpiece, which suffered a devastating fire in April 2019 that destroyed the spire and most of the roof, also reportedly include dedicating one of the side chapels to the theme of environmentalism. The new design also calls for adding new light displays and sound effects to create “emotional spaces.” Drouin argues that these spaces will make the church more “welcoming,” for people who are “not always from a Christian culture.”

Some things:

• Understand something, this is France.
  • The center for humanism, existentialism and absurdism.
  • This is the country of the French Revolution which was a murderous riot.
  • This is a country that has been, not only secular, but anti-religion forever.
• There is an actual Catholic priest overlooking this disaster? This place held a piece of the crown of thorns and they’re going to turn it into a woke museum?
• They’re going to get rid of confessionals and some Gothic art for street art and crappy modern art? They’re going to replace works of art with graffiti?

The woke need to destroy history and religion.

They’re Missing the Point

The estate of George Orwell has approved a feminist retelling of Nineteen Eighty-Four, which reimagines the story from the perspective of Winston Smith’s lover Julia.

Incredible. George Orwell must be turning in his grave at the thought that his own family doesn’t understand the concept of his masterpiece.

Just to review, Winston Smith is a man whose job is to rewrite history and news per the government’s edict! 

If any of these people reads the book, Smith is the main character because he is weak and susceptible to the edicts of the government whereas Julia is already strong and fights the mind control of the government. You see the struggle Winston goes through trying to break away from the government and be with his lover Julia, which is against the law. It’s how she pulls Winston to discovering the world outside the government world.

They are both, eventually, arrested and sent to a re-education camp where Winston is brainwashed and Julia is not. Julia is already a strong character whereas Winston is not.

The book has to do with a dystopian society and how the government controls the people. It has nothing to do with gender. One of the ways the government controls is through re-writing news and history and eliminating books that counter the government’s narrative. Exactly what these people want to do by re-writing Orwell’s book.

Thank God that I bought a hard copy of the book because I suspect it will not be available soon. I will take the racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, trans-phobic version and let the woke read the newer, crappy version.

Juicy Smollett might be going to prison.

More bad news for Joe Biden.

And the China virus is never going away.

News

Here some news that needs to be told but I really don’t care enough about to spend a lot of time on.

• Jussie Smollett has been convicted on 5 of six felony charges.
  • I didn’t cover this because I just thought this was all stupid from the beginning. But the media went nuts over it and it shows how corrupt law enforcement is in Chicago.
  • The charges:
    • Count 1 accused him of telling responding Chicago Police Officer Muhammed Baig at around 2:45 a.m., some 45 minutes after the purported attack, that he was the victim of a hate crime. He said two attackers put a rope around his neck. Count 2 referred to Smollett telling the same officer he was a victim of a battery, describing attackers beating and pouring bleach on him.
    • Counts 3 and 4 stemmed from Smollett making the same claims but to a different officer, Kimberly Murray, later that morning, just before 6 a.m. 
    • Count 5 accused Smollett of again telling Murray at around 7:15 p.m. that he was the victim of a battery. Count 6 referred to Smollett reporting on Feb. 14, 2019, to detective Robert Graves that he’d been a victim of an aggravated battery.
  • Each count holds up to three years in prison each.
  • This story is only important because it shows how race hoaxes are everywhere and that race crime is really not much of a thing in this country about 3%).
  • Smollett should do time but probably won’t. He’ll probably get probation.
• A Starbucks coffee shop in Buffalo, New York, became the first in the nation to unionize — placing pressure on a national chain already beleaguered by labor shortages.
  • This is a delicious story because Starbuck is so Left leaning and now they are getting it from all their Leftist employees.
  • Otherwise, a real business owner would fire anyone who even threatened to unionize.
  • But that’s what the people of Buffalo needs. Coffee that is going to cost $8 a cup so the nineteen year old can earn $24 an hour.
• Twelve major cities have set new records for homicide and they still have a month left to count. Those cities are:
  • Philadelphia, Penn has a new record of 521.
  • Philly can not compete with Los Angeles (352), New York (443) and Chicago (777).
  • All twelve cities are run by Leftist mayors are St. Paul, MN; Austin, TX; Portland, OR; Baton Rouge, LA; Columbus, OH, Louisville KY; Rochester, NY; Toledo, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Albuquerque, NM and Tucson, AZ.

Going Up and Up and Up!

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) gave the Biden administration more bad news:

“The all items index rose 6.8 percent for the 12 months ending October, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending June 1982.”

The Wall Street Journal reported:

The so-called core price index, which excludes the often-volatile categories of food and energy, climbed 4.9% in November from a year earlier. That was a sharper increase than October’s 4.6% rise, and the highest rate since 1991.

The November prices trend came before the emergence of the Omicron variant of Covid-19, which poses a new threat from a pandemic that is well into its second year.

Be prepared to have a very expensive Christmas if we are going to be allowed to travel, this year, because of the Omicron variant of the China virus (more on that later).

But be prepared for this to continue going up. Soon we’ll need a credit score to by hamburger. Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, said during congressional testimony:

“Generally, the higher prices we’re seeing are related to the supply-and-demand imbalances that can be traced directly back to the pandemic and the reopening of the economy, but it’s also the case that price increases have spread much more broadly in the recent few months. I think the risk of higher inflation has increased.”

So, there you go. Merry Christmas!

This Omicron variant of the China virus, which, by the way, hasn’t killed anyone yet, is causing everyone to go into a tizzy. Well, they keep telling us to go into a tizzy. The politicians continue not to wear masks and going to dance clubs. Here are some of the stories.

Harsher?

Olaf Scholz, the new Chancellor of Germany, is a far Leftist. He’s concerned about the environment and social justice. He was supported by the Green party (environmentalist) and the Liberal Free Democrats (FDP). Neither of these groups ever had a position in the government before. Now, they’re in charge.

So what’s the first thing Scholz is going to do? Implement harsher COVID restrictions.

Angela Merkel said she would work with the new Prime Minister:

“We have understood that the situation is very serious and that we want to take further measures in addition to those already taken. The fourth wave must be broken and this has not yet been achieved.”

By the way, did I mention omicron hasn’t killed anyone yet? By the way, Omicron is not the fourth variant. It’s the 13th variant. We only know of alpha, delta and omicron. The other nine were never mentioned.

According to the Daily Wire:

Germany’s health minister warned the nation’s citizens that they will either be “vaccinated, recovered or dead” by the end of the winter.

Yeah, not an overreaction by the German government. I think, in a couple of weeks, Auschwitz and Dackau will be opening back up.

Portland, OR

At an elementary school in Portland, Oregon, kindergartners were videotaped eating lunch outside and sitting on buckets socially distanced in 40-degree weather. Of course, the teachers were in the warm classroom eating their lunch.

Do you get it now that the schools don’t give a rat’s ass about your kids yet?

One distraught parent contacted the media and stated:

As a parent of a student at Capitol Hill Elementary, this policy is abhorrent. I am beyond furious, especially knowing children are low-risk. Governor Brown maskless in DC this weekend was the last straw. We’ve been patient with all of the policies here in Portland in hopes of not being ostracized within the community, but this is the last straw. I will be picking my child up to have lunch at home.

What she’s talking about is Gov. Kate Brown, who has implemented a mask mandate that appears to be permanent, was attending the LGBTQ Victory Fund’s 30th Anniversary Gala in Washington D.C. to be inducted into its Hall of Fame on Saturday and was photographed at an indoor gala without a mask. Washington D.C. does not have an indoor mask mandate.

These people care about your children and you? These people are worried about the virus? Yeah, no.

When Is He Going Away

I am not getting the booster. According to Tony Fauci, I will have a month before my vaccinations are worthless, which is not something I was told when I got the jab. Well, we were pretty much lied to the entire time. We were lied to about the side effects. We were lied to about using fetal stem cells in the development. We were lied to that we would not catch it if vaccinated. We were lied to about never wearing masks again. The government has done nothing but lie to us.

Dr. Fauci is at it again:

Let’s see:

• Social distancing hasn’t worked.
• Masking hasn’t worked.
• The shutdowns haven’t worked.
• The vaccines haven’t worked.

Can’t he say he doesn’t know? Can’t he say that this virus is endemic and we are going to have to live with it? Of course he can’t. He likes getting paid (he’s the highest paid government employee), he likes being on television all the time and he likes to power he has. So does the government. Dr. Fauci is the government’s white knight for the government taking control of the people.

But that might have changed already.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla also said a fourth dose may be needed, and maybe faster than Fauci’s timeline.  Right now, Fauci says a third shot is now most definitely needed for better protection.

I’m am not going to read the science based stuff but Pfizer says that we need a third wave of shots. The first two doses and two boosters.

By the way, we talked about Fauci’s motivations are but what about Bourla’s? He’s basically admitting his vaccine doesn’t work. But he’s using the fear of the people, the government and the media to make billions of dollars to have his vaccines given. No one is asking Bourla or Fauci is why we should trust the vaccines if they appear not to work.

Again, I’m not against the vaccines but I am against getting lied to.
