Episode 1055 – Imagine Their Ratings If They Picked the Right Side!

President Trump releases a meme and the world catches fire. Is it justified?

An old prison may find new life if the president has his way.

And CNN is picking the wrong side again.

Much Ado About Nothing

Overview of the Controversy

President Donald Trump sparked significant controversy after posting an AI-generated image of himself dressed as the pope on his Truth Social platform, which was subsequently shared by official White House social media accounts124. The incident occurred during a sensitive period for Catholics worldwide, as the Church was mourning the recent death of Pope Francis and preparing for the conclave to elect his successor148.

Details of the Meme and Context

  • The Image: The AI-generated meme depicted Trump seated in an ornate chair, wearing traditional papal vestments and headdress, with a stern expression and his right forefinger raised248.
  • Timing: The post came just days after Trump attended Pope Francis’s funeral in Rome and publicly joked to reporters, “I’d like to be pope. That would be my No. 1 choice,” before clarifying that he was joking and mentioning Cardinal Timothy Dolan as a possible option246.
  • Dissemination: The image first appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account late on May 2 and was later posted by the White House’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, amplifying its reach and impact129.

Reactions and Backlash

Catholic Leaders and Organizations:

  • The New York State Catholic Conference, representing bishops in New York, condemned the meme, stating, “There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us”135.
  • Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, called the image “deeply offensive to Catholics especially during this sacred time that we are still mourning the death of Pope Francis,” and said Trump “owes an apology”59.
  • Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, distanced himself from the image, saying, “I hope he didn’t have anything to do with that. It wasn’t good”39.

Vatican and International Response:

  • Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni declined to comment directly on the meme during a press briefing, focusing instead on the upcoming conclave1.
  • Italian and Spanish media criticized the image as distasteful and offensive, especially given the ongoing mourning period for Pope Francis8.

Political and Public Reactions:

  • Some conservative commentators and Trump supporters dismissed the backlash, framing the meme as a harmless joke or political trolling56.
  • Joshua Mercer, vice president of the right-leaning CatholicVote, argued the meme was “obviously intended to be humorous” and not meant to mock the papacy5.
  • On social media, the image triggered a wave of memes, jokes, and parodies, while also fueling heated debate about respect for religious symbols and institutions7.

Defense and Official Response

  • The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, denied any intent to ridicule the papacy, highlighting Trump’s attendance at Pope Francis’s funeral and his support for Catholics and religious liberty19.
  • Supporters insisted Trump’s comments and the meme were made in jest, pointing to the prevalence of similar memes circulating online after the pope’s death56.

Conclusion

Trump’s AI-generated meme depicting himself as pope has provoked strong backlash from Catholic leaders and many believers, who viewed the image as disrespectful and ill-timed during a period of mourning for Pope Francis13589. While some supporters defended the meme as a joke, the incident has underscored ongoing tensions over the use of religious imagery in political discourse and the boundaries of humor and respect in public life.

This is Blasphemy

  • The X post by Oli London announces Adam Lambert as Judas and Cynthia Erivo as Jesus in a Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar, a rock opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice that reimagines the last days of Jesus through Judas’ perspective, set for August 2025.
  • This casting choice stirred controversy on X, with users like @1Uncensored and @phat_doggo2024 criticizing it for historical inaccuracy and perceived provocation, reflecting ongoing debates about representation and “blackwashing” in media, as seen in similar discussions around Netflix’s Cleopatra (2023), which faced backlash for casting a Black actress.
  • The production coincides with a tense global religious climate, as web results note Trump’s recent Truth Social post depicting himself as a pope after Pope Francis’ death in April 2025, which drew accusations of mockery from the New York State Catholic Conference, highlighting broader sensitivities around religious portrayals.

Picking the Wrong Side Again

The New York Post highlights CNN’s interview with a Sinaloa Cartel member, who, despite being labeled a terrorist by Trump, expressed respect for him, saying Trump is “looking out for his people” while blaming U.S. drug consumers for the cartel’s activities.

Trump’s administration recently designated the Sinaloa Cartel as a foreign terrorist organization, intensifying U.S.-Mexico efforts to curb fentanyl trafficking, with Mexican authorities increasing arrests and lab busts in Sinaloa state since early 2025.

Social media backlash criticized CNN for seemingly sympathizing with the cartel, with users on X accusing the network of seeking anti-Trump sentiment but instead receiving a response that aligned with Trump’s stance on protecting American interests.

Why Don’t You Just Build A Prison in the Desert?

President Donald Trump directed federal agencies Sunday to reopen the historic Alcatraz prison in San Francisco Bay, declaring the long-shuttered facility will once again house “America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders.” The directive, issued via Truth Social, instructs the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security to rebuild and expand the infamous island penitentiary that closed in 196313.

The announcement represents Trump’s latest effort to reshape federal incarceration policies amid ongoing tensions with courts over immigration enforcement and detention practices.

The Presidential Directive

“For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society,” Trump wrote in his Sunday evening post2. The president characterized the reopening as a return to when America “did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm”4.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson responded that the agency “will comply with all Presidential Orders” but offered no specifics on implementation timeline, feasibility studies, or budgetary considerations3. The mandate comes as Trump has clashed with judges over attempts to transfer alleged gang members to a prison in El Salvador and detain undocumented immigrants38.

Historical and Logistical Challenges

Alcatraz operated as a federal maximum-security prison from 1934 until 1963, when officials shuttered it due to deteriorating infrastructure and prohibitive operational costs38. The facility required expensive maintenance and all supplies had to be transported by boat4.

Reopening would necessitate substantial investment to modernize the crumbling structure to meet contemporary correctional standards. When the prison closed, officials estimated approximately $5 million in restoration costs-a figure that would be exponentially higher today8.

The island has functioned as a major tourist destination since 1972, when Congress incorporated it into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area under National Park Service management86.

Political Reactions

Critics swiftly condemned the proposal. A spokesperson from California’s Governor’s Office dismissed the announcement as “distraction day again in Washington, D.C.”6

State Senator Scott Wiener, who represents San Francisco, called the plan “absurd,” noting the site “generates significant revenue for the federal government and supports many jobs”6. Wiener characterized the proposal as “part of Trump’s ongoing crusade to sabotage the rule of law” and “a domestic gulag right in the middle of San Francisco Bay”6.

Representatives from the White House, Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security did not immediately provide details on funding sources, projected costs, or implementation timelines when contacted by reporters3.

Episode 1049 – Another Example of a Two-Tiered Justice System

These district court judges will not stay in their lanes. It’s time for thew Supreme Court to get involved.

We have another example we have a two-tiered justice system.

And Taylor Lorenz, who was so crazy the Washington Post canned her, goes on a rant defending a murderer.

No Justice Under the Law

A judge in Collin County, Texas, has significantly reduced the bail for Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old high school student accused of fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet on April 2, 2025. Originally set at $1 million, Anthony’s bond was lowered to $250,000 following a hearing on Monday, April 14. The decision came after the judge considered testimony from Anthony’s parents, his lack of prior criminal history, his age, and his ties to the community2134.

Anthony, who faces a first-degree murder charge, was released from jail after posting the reduced bond. As conditions of his release, he is under house arrest, must wear an ankle monitor, can only leave home with the judge’s permission, must check in weekly with the court bailiff, and is prohibited from using social media214.

The defense argued that the original $1 million bond was financially oppressive, noting the family’s inability to pay and the stress the case has placed on them. The judge agreed that bond should not serve as punishment but rather ensure the defendant’s appearance in court and the safety of the community. Prosecutors opposed the reduction, citing the severity of the crime and the substantial funds raised for Anthony’s defense through crowdfunding, but the judge ultimately sided with the defense214.

The incident occurred during a dispute at a high school track meet, where witnesses say Anthony stabbed Metcalf after a confrontation over seating. Anthony has claimed self-defense, but the case remains under investigation and will be presented to a grand jury1234.

If convicted, Anthony cannot face the death penalty or life without parole due to his juvenile status, in accordance with Supreme Court precedent1. The case has drawn significant public attention and debate, with both families urging the community not to politicize or escalate tensions surrounding the tragedy21.

It Gets Worse

Karmelo Anthony’s family, following his charge in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, track meet, has announced plans to use a significant portion of the more than $400,000 raised through online donations to purchase a new home and hire private security. This decision comes amid what the family describes as a wave of “graphic and racist threats” after their home address was leaked online in the aftermath of the incident51112.

During a recent court hearing, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, confirmed that the funds—originally raised for legal defense—would also be allocated for the family’s relocation and security needs. He cited the threats and the family’s inability to safely remain in their current residence as the primary reasons for these expenditures51112. The family’s attorney, Mike Howard, emphasized that the money is not a bond fund but is necessary for the family’s survival and safety, especially as Anthony’s father is currently on leave from work12.

The threats against the Anthony family reportedly escalated after their address was posted online, with some messages containing violent and racist imagery. In response, both the family and their legal team have prioritized moving to a safer location and securing private protection, in addition to preparing for Anthony’s legal defense451112.

As of April 15, 2025, the online fundraiser for the Anthony family had surpassed $420,000, with the stated intent to cover legal fees, relocation, and security costs. The case has drawn significant public attention and backlash, with some questioning the use of donated funds for purposes beyond legal defense, while others have expressed concern for the family’s safety in light of the threats received5612.

Here We Go Again

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of more than 530,000 migrants who entered the United States under the Biden-era CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) humanitarian parole program. This program, launched in 2023, allowed migrants from these four countries to fly directly into the U.S. with the support of a U.S.-based sponsor, granting them temporary legal status and work authorization for two years12345678.

Key Details

Who is affected?

  • Over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally via the CHNV program12345678.

What did the Trump administration attempt?

  • The administration sought to terminate the CHNV program and revoke the legal status and work permits of these migrants, instructing them to leave the U.S. by April 24, 2025, or face deportation235.

What did the judge decide?

  • U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the government cannot revoke the legal status of these migrants en masse without conducting individualized, case-by-case reviews12345678.
  • The judge stated that “early termination, without any case-by-case justification, of legal status for noncitizens who have complied with DHS programs and entered the country lawfully undermines the rule of law”24.
  • The ruling temporarily halts the administration’s plan, preserving the migrants’ legal status and work permits while legal challenges continue12345678.

Legal and Humanitarian Rationale

  • The court cited due process concerns, emphasizing that mass deportations would deny migrants a fair opportunity to challenge removal and could cause significant harm, including family separation and danger upon return to their home countries14567.
  • The judge also granted class certification, meaning the order applies to all CHNV parolees as a group58.

Broader Context

  • The CHNV program was designed to provide a legal pathway for migrants from these countries, aiming to reduce unlawful border crossings and allow for better vetting235.
  • The Trump administration argued the program was an overreach of executive authority and contributed to system strain, but the court found the administration’s approach to be legally insufficient5.
  • The Department of Homeland Security has not yet announced whether it will appeal the ruling1.

Implications

  • Migrants in the CHNV program retain their legal status and work permits for now.
  • The ruling is a significant setback for the Trump administration’s efforts to quickly dismantle Biden-era immigration policies.
  • The case will continue in court, and the migrants’ status is protected at least until a final decision is reached12345678.

The President will State It Himself

The X post by The Post Millennial captures a meeting on April 14, 2025, in the Oval Office where El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele told U.S. officials he would not deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national accused of MS-13 ties, back to the U.S., citing concerns over smuggling a terrorist into the country (Axios, 2025).

Bukele’s stance follows a controversial U.S. deportation of Abrego Garcia, despite a 2019 court order granting him “withholding from removal” status due to potential harm in El Salvador, an action the U.S. Justice Department later attributed to an administrative error (Axios, 2025).

The meeting coincides with U.S. discussions on deporting gang members, as Secretary Marco Rubio recently noted the transfer of 250 gang members, including 23 MS-13 members, to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, highlighting Bukele’s hardline anti-gang policies (Newsweek, 2025).

Episode 500 – Friday Dumb

Tucker Carlson is my favorite opinion anchor. He’s down to Earth, says what he thinks and has that stupid look on his face. When he replaced Bill O’Reilly, I wasn’t thrilled. Bill O’Reilly has an edge to him. As Tucker came into prominence, Tucker developed that same edge and I became a daily watcher.

Fridays are a big day for Tucker. He usually talks about what he wants to. He did that Friday. That subject was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

09

 

I Don’t Usually Do This

We all know that AOC is a dumbass. We all know that she is in a position that she can’t handle. We all know that she is an example of what is wrong with our government and what is wrong with this generation. And this monologue was funny and true.

It came about because the writers of the New York Magazine wrote a book about AOC and it couldn’t get more syrupy. It was so bad, Tucker got a British producer to read some of the entries from the book.

I won’t lie, I kind of want to.

Here’s the introduction. Tucker was going to run with the Canadian convoy protest and the Ukrainian crisis but he decided to go a different direction.

Some things:

  • How is a book about AOC going to other than a saliva inducing, vomit of words.
  • I do think it’s an important topic. Our country is a mess, our ideology is being overrun and we are becoming weaker.
  • He’s right about it being Friday and we should take it easy though.

Here is Tucker talking about the books exaggeration:

Some things:

  • Tucker did this on purpose. He superimposed AOC as being God to Stacy Abrams pornographic novels (that’s true, by the way). My guess he did that on purpose.
  • AOC is a God for the Left and vice are her Ten Commandments.
  • The degradations of womanhood? Really? The only degradation to womanhood seems to be coming from the trans community which she supports.
  • And I love that she says she’s finally speaking out loud. And she ain’t the first.

 

Some things:

  • The trans thing is important because it just shows the non-sensical nature of the Left. They don’t believe women exist.
  • Tucker hits another point. Feminists are turning in their graves because of her. She the opposite of the feminist cause.
    • Her fashion.
    • Her makeup.
    • Feminists in the 60’s used to burn their clothes.
  • People don’t listen to her because she’s not a serious person. She has been in Congress for four years now and she’s done nothing and has continually said stupid things.

Here is one of Tucker’s greatest point:

Some things:

  • Tucker’s analogies are awesome because they are so on point.
  • This is the problem and illogic of Leftist ideology. Just because one is a person of color doesn’t mean one isn’t elite. I wish he would have expanded on this.

 

Some things:

  • This is the remaking of image. They do it all day with Biden and Harris. Just read the New York Times or Washington Post.
  • And I guarantee you, the history books, if the Left gets what the want, will reflect the same thing.

This is the second great point Tucker brings up.

Some things:

  • For some reason, this seems to be taboo to talk about.
  • AOC knows she’s good looking, though I wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot pole, and she exploits that.

Then Tucker hits it:

Some things:

  • Adam Corolla actually got pushback on Sean Hannity’s show for saying this.
  • I have always said this.
  • The squad would not exist if she was 5″1′ and three bills. You think Rashida Tlaib would have been able to do it? You think people would watch her on Instagram?
  • She is a marketing ploy for the Left. She there to convert people to Leftism.

This is funny:

Some things:

  • Is there any reason people don’t trust the media.
    • Busy of what? She’s done nothing in Congress.
  • She also shows the problem with this generation. They think everyone wants to see every selfie and project one has. This is narcissism but it is exactly the way a lot of our kids are today.
  • He didn’t go into it, but this is a social problem that AOC is promoting. I’m pretty sure no one gives a crap if I’m putting together an IKEA table.
  • In fact, it wouldn’t even occur to me to put a video of it on Tik Tok.

Again, this is just dumb that Tucker is pointing out:

Some things:

  • This was such a dumb description I have nothing much to say.
  • But I do have a question: If you put together this table on Tik Tok, would you be complicated and multi-faceted?
  • Probably not because you’re not an elite.

Here’s Tucker’s closing:

Some things:

  • It is kind of creepy. Stalker creepy.
  • It also shows how pathetic our society because of social media.
  • Instead of people going out and making their own live, they live through the lives of others on a computer screen.
  • What’s most pathetic, they think their lives will have more meaning based on the number of “Likes” the get. It’s actually of sad.
  • And AOC ain’t helping it. That’s because she doesn’t care.

 

Did AOC Respond

This is what’s great about Tucker Carlson: He knows how to get a reaction. His monologs are vicious, cutting, funny and true. It is too much to expect that the attention whore AOC was going to ignore this “attack”. And she didn’t.

Her first tweet was rather straight forward:

Some things:

  • That would have been a perfect tweet and just move on.
  • It’s funny and straight forward.

But, no:

Some things:

  • No, she didn’t call people obsessive compulsives. She said everyone wanted to date her.
  • She needs to learn punctuation. I guess they didn’t teach her that at Boston U.
  • This was not sexual harassment but anything to make herself a victim. Problem is it doesn’t work anymore.
  • Treat any woman like this? Like what?
  • And, of course, she attacks his family.
  • AOC is a narcissist.
    • AOC was not the target of this.
    • The media and their fawning over her was the target.
    • Tucker used examples of her idiocy and the media’s reaction to her idiocy to prove his point.

She continued:

Some things:

  • So, now she’s in danger because Tucker called her a fool and a child. Hyperbole.
  • There is a ton of political commentary here:
    • The mainstreaming of Leftist insanity.
    • How foolish out “betters” are.
    • How the mainstream media are really the ones that want to date her.
    • How we are wasting tax paying dollars to pay her salary ($174,000 a year).

https://www.dailywire.com/news/tucker-carlson-mocks-aoc-over-new-fawning-book-of-her-june-cleaver-was-a-more-serious-person

 

Proving His Point

Right after Tucker Carlson spends 10 minutes on his show saying how much of a fool AOC is, she goes right out and does something foolish on social media again.

Here she is, stressed out. She decides to destress would be to dunk her face in ice water. On Instagram live, of course.

Some things:

  • There’s not even any ice in the bowl.
  • She basically puts her nose in the water.
  • Does she really need encouragement and direction from her boyfriend?
  • Is she that fragile a woman to depend on a man?
  • If she is that fragile that she needs to put her nose in cold water to destress, should she really be in the country’s leadership?
  • It would have done her good to join the military. They would have toughened her up and I hear they’re making specially fitted uniforms for women now.

Episode 488 – Sometimes A Cigar Is Just A Cigar

The one good thing about our crumbling society is that there are so many stupid stories to make fun of. It may be the end of civilization but at least this stuff is entertaining.

 

When Is This Going to End?

The Joe Rogan thing is still going and doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to end. It’s really pissing the Left off. Joe Rogan is still doing his podcast. Spotify is still hosting him. And if something happens to Spotify, Joe Rogan is still going to get $100 million from Rumble.

The Left just has no idea how they’re going to handle this. Ask Alisyn Camerota of CNN. She just has no idea what she’s going to do about Joe Rogan:

No one asked you to do anything, Alyson. Joe Rogan has more viewers in one day than CNN has in a week. And that’s not much of an exaggeration.

On Tuesday, Joe Rogan did a podcast with comedian, Akaash Singh, and said:

“In a lot of ways, all this is a relief, ’cause that video had always been out there. It’s like, this is a political hit job. And so they’re taking all this stuff that I’ve ever said that’s  wrong, and smushing it all together. But it’s good ’cause it makes me address some s*** that I really wish wasn’t out there.”

You think, Joe. But that begs the question, “Why did you apologize at all?” All those videos were ten to twelve years old and no one said word one of them until now.

Akaash then said:

“You know why I’m proud of you? Because I think comedians have for years done this immature thing where it’s like we don’t apologize. We say whatever we want. You can apologize if you say some wild s*** and we’ve all said some wild s*** and you apologized and owned that it was wrong. Good for you.”

This is a great point. Joe Rogan is a comedian. I have heard some of his comedy routines. You can bet that last dollar that these Leftist goons are going through every show of his on YouTube and creating another compilation video. Everything he said about women and gays and trans-folk is going to come out. It just takes some time to compile that stuff. Trust me, Joe Rogan is not only going to be a racist. In the coming weeks he’s going to be a sexist, bigoted transphobe who probably has a thing against panda bears too.

But just how many people are truly hurt by Joe Rogan using the n-word on his podcast? How many black people are upset about it?

James Klug went out to the most liberal part of Los Angeles, Venice Beach, and asked people what they thought. He asked black and white people.

First, he asked a lot of white people what they thought:

What woke white people. I’m, one old broad even said the holy one, George Floyd. I mean, she brought up George Floyd. If I didn’t see the video, I would have thought she was black because she so in tune with the hood.

But the response from the black people really sealed it. Listen:

I’m confused. Did the black people not get upset about Joe Rogan? Did one actually admire Joe Rogan and his accomplishments and actually hope to be like him?

You should really read Shelby Steele’s book, White Guilt. He discusses this phenomenon in detail. Since the 1960s, white people, especially liberal white people, have felt the need to atone for the injustice done to black people during slavery and Jim Crow. They will even back a black narrative that doesn’t exist. In this case, that Joe Rogan hurt a lot of people by saying the n-word. Again, he didn’t call anyone the n-word, he used the word in the context of free speech and racism. One of these conversations he had was with the black actor, Jamie Foxx.

I bet you a dollar that the guys who spent days making that n-word compilation were white.

 

https://www.dailywire.com/news/rogan-responds-to-video-compilation-of-him-using-n-word-this-is-a-political-hit-job

 

Speaking of Being a Victim

Speaking of blacks always being victims, you may remember that I bought Ibram X. Kendi’s book, How to be an Antiracist. The book was all about how all whites are racist and how all the systems in the awful United States are made to hold the black man down.

Yeah, well, apparently our systemically racist society pays this race baiter $541 per minute when he gives his lectures.

I really don’t have anything more to say about that.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-uva-a-public-university-spent-nearly-541-per-minute-for-ibram-kendi-racial-equity-lecture

 

Down the Drain

CNN is really, really struggling.

  • Jeffry Tubin, one of their political correspondents, likes to jerk off during conference calls but they couldn’t fire him.
  • They had to fire their highest rated host Chris Cuomo because he advised his brother, Andrew Cuomo, during him murdering 10,000 old people during the China virus and grab-assing cops.
  • Two of their producers were having sex with kids.
  • Jeff Zucker, the CEO, was boofing his replacement for the last 20 years.
  • And Brian Stelter, another show host, is fat, balding, ugly and stupid.
  • Oh yeah…and like 6 people watch their channel. Reruns of Frazier are beating CNN.

But they did find the story of the year and it might lead to another political scandal. Possibly more impeachment hearings. All this from a probably very accurate book by Maggie Haberman of the New York Times. Listen:

WOW! Crime of the century! Trump may or may not have thrown paper in the toilet and the toilet clogged. We don’t know what was on papers but maybe it was important. Maybe it was the nuclear codes.

Call Nancy Pelosi! Call Adam Schiff! Call Maxine Waters!

There are two things that are really sad here. First, that this woman wrote a book about Trump and this was the story CNN decided to carry from this book. Probably not going to buy this book.

The second thing is that CNN needs Trump. Bad. The guy has been out of office for over a year and they are still talking about him. Kind of pathetic since they were most of the reason Trump is no longer President.

 

What is a Woman

Adele, the singer from England won entertainer of the year on Tuesday. I don’t know what awards show she won it because I just don’t care.

But she said something that created a storm of bigotry. Listen:

That’s right! She’s a transphobe because she had pride in being a woman.

Those words, “I love being a woman” sparked outrage on Twitter, the wasteland of reason.

One on Twitter said:

“Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF. That last comment, though ambiguous, could be perceived as TERF-y. Please no.”

TERF stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.

Another tweeted:

“Who’d have thought #Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers.”

So, now, just acknowledging being a woman is bigoted. Woman are so bad they can’t even do women right. I’m sure she’ll apologize for…being a woman?

I needed to research this. I wanted the whole trans philosophy. Where’s the best place to do that? The Hell that is known as TikTok. It only took me a few minutes to find what I was looking for.

Some things:

  • I don’t want to date a trans woman because a trans woman is a man and I don’t have any attraction to men.
  • An infertile woman still has the possibility to get pregnant. Miracles happen. A trans woman is a man, and can’t get pregnant…ever.
  • The logic is a little off here. An infertile woman proves transphobia?
  • I can recognize most trans people. There are few that really look like their chosen sex. But most look like they’re trying to be something they’re not. Like this guy.
  • Finally, this guy doesn’t respect my biological sex and it doesn’t exist?
    • No one cares who he respects. This is what I don’t get about TikTok and the selfie thing. If one goes viral it’s usually because they did or said something stupid.
    • My biological sex does exist. How do I know? I have four kids. Josie has three kids. My DNA will move on through history. How many kids is this guy going to have?

So if one is a woman, it’s transphobic for that woman to acknowledge and celebrate being a woman. If one is a man who thinks he’s a woman, it’s OK to celebrate his womanhood. In fact, a straight man who does not find a man who thinks he’s a woman attractive sexually, he is also a transphobe and a sexist.

Ugh! This trans thing is so stupid.

I Could Have Told You That

According to the New York Post:

It is the secret we are all trying to unlock – how to live long and happy lives.

Science has found the key success, well, for men anyway.

In the United Kingdom, men in general are not expected to live as long as women – so maybe they need a little bit more help.

The average life expectancy for a man is 79, compared to women who are expected to live until 82 years old.

The most common age of death for men in the UK between 2012 and 2014 was 86, but women were living until 89 during the same time period, according to the Office of National Statistics.

The reason for women outliving men is down to genetics, according to Medical Daily.

Then they give six ways that a man can improve his quality of life and life span. Five of the six are not much of a surprise: Have sex, get married, have kids, be responsible and be involved with your children.

But the first piece of advice is a little out there: stare at boobs. That’s right. Boobs are good. Why? Because boobs give men positive thoughts

According to the Post:

A 2012 study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at the effects positive thinking had on men’s health.

After a year, positive thinking had a powerful effect on health choices.

More than half of the patients with coronary artery disease increased their physical activity versus 37 percent in the control group, who were not asked to write down positive thoughts in the morning.

The same happened in men with high blood pressure.

More than 40 percent of those with high blood pressure followed their medication plan compared to 36 percent in the non-positive thinking group.

So there you have it!

Ask your wife if she loves you. When she says, “Yes” tell her to put on that sexy little halter top and you’ll live longer.

Emojis and Racism

National Public Radio, or NPR, got into big trouble for ignoring the Hunter Biden laptop story because they did not think it was an important story. But the brilliant editors decided the releasing a story called Which Skin Color Emoji Should You Use? The Answer Can Be More Complex Than You Think. This is such an important story, that they assigned three writers for it. They are Alejandra Marquez Janse, Patrick Jarenwattananon and Asma Khalid.

Let’s go through a little bit of this Pulitzer Prize worthy piece:

Heath Racela identifies as three-quarters white and one-quarter Filipino. When texting, he chooses a yellow emoji instead of a skin tone option, because he feels it doesn’t represent any specific ethnicity or color.

So is he three-quarters white and one-quarter Filipino or does he just identify as that?

He doesn’t want people to view his texts in a particular way. He wants to go with what he sees as the neutral option and focus on the message.

“I present as very pale, very light skinned. And if I use the white emoji, I feel like I’m betraying the part of myself that’s Filipino,” Racela, of Littleton, Mass., said. “But if I use a darker color emoji, which maybe more closely matches what I see when I look at my whole family, it’s not what the world sees, and people tend to judge that.”

This sounds like a rich person problem. I figure that this guy has enough money not to worry about things like crime, inflation and war. He’s becoming stressed out over the color of an emoji. Maybe he should look at some boobs and calm down.

But I looked up the demographics of Littleton, Massachusetts and, sure enough, I was right. According to Wikipedia:

The median household income was $123,413 and the median family income was $143,233. About 2.4% of families and 3.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 1.9% of those under age 18 and 5.2% of those age 65 or over.

Well, anyway, they then give another example of a person who is black and she gives her story. Finally, NPR gets to the studies. Yeah, someone actually was paid to study this crap.

A 2018 study published by the University of Edinburgh looked at the use of different skin tone emojis — what it referred to as “modified” emojis — on Twitter to find out if the modifiers contributed to self-representation.

Alexander Robertson, an emoji researcher at Google and Ph.D. candidate involved in the study, said the emoji modifiers were used widely but it was people with darker skin who used them in higher proportions, and more often.

Some things:

  • Google hired a Ph.D. candidate to study emojis?
  • Do you think your parents would be bragging that their Ph.D. son got his Ph.D. to study emojis?
  • By the way, not a shock that people of color are using the colored emojis. Can I say colored emojis? Is that racist?
    • People of color have been conditioned to believe their color is a badge of honor and should be celebrated. That’s why they created the colored emojis in the first place.
    • Honestly, white people like me don’t give a damn about the color of the emoji.
    • Old farts like me don’t even use them. That’s because I can write like an adult.

Continuing:

After another look at Twitter data, Andrew McGill, then writer for The Atlantic, found that some white people may stick with the yellow emoji because they don’t want to assert their privilege by adding a light-skinned emoji to a text, or to take advantage of something that was created to represent diversity.

Perhaps, like Heath Racela, they simply don’t want to think about how their message could be interpreted.

But Zara Rahman, a researcher and writer in Berlin, argues that the skin tone emojis make white people confront their race as people of color often have to do. For example, she shared Sarai Cole’s confusion when someone who is white uses a brown emoji, so she asked some friends about it.

When Sigmund Freud talked about a person’s actions show underlying sexual desires, a reporter asked him what it meant that he always had a cigar in his mouth. Freud responded, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”. I’m pretty sure we can apply that to the emoji thing. Race doesn’t have to be entwined in everything that everyone does.

Ok, I’m done. This is too stupid.

Episode 483 – The Numbers Are Just Going to Keep Dropping

So many dumb stories over a single week. Turns out Friday is going to be my favorite day because we get to talk about all these stupid stories

And we do have some doozies!

 

Some News

Here’s some news I’m going to hit on because it’s happening but not as socially important as these stupid stories I’m going to talk about. Actually, these are not stupid stories. They’re kind of important.

  • The national debt has surpassed $30 trillion.
    • When George Bush left office, was at $9 trillion.
    • After Obama, it was $18 trillion.
    • After Trump, who was a big spender and had to deal with the pandemic, it was boosted to $23 trillion.
    • Biden has spent $7 trillion this year!
    • We are now entering danger territory. In September of 2019, before the pandemic, we had a debt to GDP of 4.7%. Believe it of not, that’s high. It is now at 12.4%.
    • We are not there yet, but we are entering the realm of Greece, Italy and Spain. All these countries have had to deal with austerity.
  • The jobs report was released today and it was a good one.
    • 467,000 jobs were added. That’s double than what was expected.
    • Unemployment went up to 4% but that’s good because more people are rejoining the workforce.
    • 709,000 were added for November and December.
    • This was a great report.
    • The problem for people is the child tax credit expired and extended benefits ended. People are now running out of money and have to work.
  • In other good news for Joe Biden, the head of ISIS-K was killed during a raid by U.S. special forces.
    • Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was killed when he detonated a suicide vest.
    • Members of his family, including children, were also killed.
    • No soldiers were injured.
    • There seems to be some confusion as to what happened but if this guy was killed, it was worth it even if innocent family members were killed.
  • So Biden has had a good week.

OK, that’s enough of the bad news. Let’s get to the other bad news that’s funny.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-national-debt-exceeds-30-trillion-for-first-time-11643766231#:~:text=WASHINGTON%E2%80%94The%20U.S.%20national%20debt,Treasury%20Department%20data%20released%20Tuesday.

 

Let’s Start With Queen Idget

Let’s start with our stupid statement of the week. Who else is the winner but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Here she is on MSNBC talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict. She see two problems with what’s going on over there. Here’s the first one:

Some things:

  • Notice she always strings together big words like “military industrial complex” to make herself sound intelligent? None of what she said applied to this situation but she sounds like she wants to string together a bunch of multi-syllabic words suddenly she’ll make sense. This is a strategy with the Left. They think big words will confuse us serfs and we’ll just go with them.
  • She’s blaming America, specifically American greed, for the conflict over there. It’s complete crap.
  • Does she really think, for a second, that a military contractor is going to lose the good graces of the American military for a corrupt Ukraine?
  • She’s talking out of her ass.

But, she can’t get away from the stupid. Here the real reason why Russia is threatening Ukraine:

Some things:

  • Yep, climate change.
  • Fossil fuels have become a problem because of the Biden administration.
    • We were energy independent.
    • We were a massive exporter of oil.
    • Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline.
    • Ended all of the oil contracts on federal lands.
    • And gave Russia the Nordstream pipeline into Germany.
  • So, no, I don’t think evaluation is correct.

 

I Told You So

According to that Daily Wire:

“Game of Thrones” star Peter Dinklage is not pleased that Disney is attempting a remake of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” However, other members of the dwarf community have been thrilled to see the potential for lucrative acting jobs available to their community specifically. And a few of them are denouncing Dinklage’s rant, saying it’s harming their job prospects.

I told you this would happen.

Dwarf actor, Dylan Postl, stated:

“It makes me so sick to my stomach to think that there are seven roles for dwarfs that can’t get normal acting roles, or very few and far between roles, and now they are gone because of this guy.”

“Peter Dinklage is the biggest dwarf actor probably of all time but it doesn’t make him king dwarf. When he was cast as a little person role in ‘Lord of the Rings’ or in a ‘Game of Thrones’ or in ‘Elf’ or this that or the other thing… those checks cashed just fine. He had no issue then. But now he wants to be progressive? Come on man.”

I also want to point out that Peter Dinklage is starring in the upcoming movie, Cyrano. By the way, he was cast because he was a dwarf. He made more than $1 million an episode from Game of Thrones. He was cast for that series because he’s a dwarf.

Postl continued:

“I don’t know if Peter Dinklage is still acting or if he is done now but I don’t know… it’s pretty selfish. People came before him. If it is his mindset that he wants to be the only one then you gotta grow up man.

“It’s not helping our community it’s taking jobs away from our community that are very few and far between as it is. We are in a society and a time of woke and progression and I get that, to an extent, but this is a fairytale.”

He’s absolutely right but left out one thing. Wokeness is about power. Peter Dinklage wants to be the dwarf actor. That’s what his rant was all about.

Whoopie Was Right!

Remember Wednesday, we talked about how Whoopie was suspended for two weeks from The View because she said the Holocaust had nothing to do with racism because Jews were white? Even though Hitler himself wrote that the Jews were and inferior race?

She made an apology to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the ADL accepted her apology. Here’s the problem, according to the ADL’s definition of racism, at the time, Whoopie would have been right and could have pointed to the ADL’s website.

A little history about this:

Before 2020, the definition on the ADL’s website of racism was:

“Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics.”

Makes sense. That’s racism.

Then George Floyd died and BLM riots happened. The ADL, which used to be a moderate organization, changed the definition of racism:

“The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.”

See the problem is with this definition?

  • Only white people can be racist.
  • Only people of color can be victims of racism.
  • Whoopie Goldberg was right about the Holocaust based on this decision.

The ADL figured this out and made a change to that definition this week. They marked it with an interim tag because I guess the definition of a word is ever changing. Or they want to leave the lane clear to changing the definition when it conflicts with what another Leftist says. Here it is:

“Racism occurs when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity.”

There are still problems with this definition so I’m sure it will change again.

It still allows the Left to call white people racists because they believe white people are running the institutions within the United States. That’s not true, of course, but the Left thinks it is.

The important thing to take away from this is the Left is constantly changing the meaning of words. For them words, people and societies are malleable. Men can be women. Phobias has changed to mean hate. History can change. Books can be rewritten or just banished.

That’s why I never call a man dressed like a woman by his preferred pronouns. This is dangerous stuff.

And We Get This.

According to the Daily Mail:

A woman who identifies as a wolf says that people often have ‘misconceptions’ about her her ‘spiritual and psychological’ life as a animal. 

Naia Ōkami, 27, from Seattle, identifies as a British Columbian wolf and regards herself as an otherkin therian – a subculture who believe their soul is that of an animal, rather than a human. 

In 2017, Naia came out as a transgender woman on social media and in November 2019, she revealed to her followers that she had legally changed her gender to female. 

Here he is talking about it:

I have no “misconceptions” about this man. He is delusional. He’s mentally ill.

This is where the subjectifying language leads. We normalize insanity.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10459899/Woman-reveals-identifies-wolf.html

 

Oh, Yeah, And This Too

According to Fox News:

Los Angeles County judge on Thursday ordered Hannah Tubbs, a transgender California woman, to serve two years in a juvenile facility after she pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in 2014. 

Before doing so, the judge criticized far-left District Attorney George Gascon, whose office declined to prosecute the repeat offender as an adult.

Tubbs, 26, recently pleaded guilty to molesting the girl in a women’s bathroom eight years ago when Tubbs was two weeks away from turning 18. At the time of the crime, she identified as male and went by James Tubbs. She did not identify as female until after she was taken into custody, according to prosecutors.

That’s right! This 26-year-old man molested a 10-year-old girl and is being sent to a girls’ juvenile center because of that piece of crap woke prosecutor in Los Angeles, George Gascon. What could happen?

Here’s my thing: the judge can say “no” and send this guy to an adult men’s prison? Yeah, it will probably be overturned on appeal but, at least, the girls in the juvenile center will be protected until the appeal goes through. This will give the guys in the adult male prison a chance to apply some real justice (the guy only got 6 years).

This has nothing to do with common sense. This is about perverting the system. This is done on purpose. I will update you about this in about a month because it’s only a matter of time before this guy rapes someone.

Anything Can Be A Sport

According to the New York Post:

The Pillow Fighting Championship crowned its first ever champions Saturday night in Florida as the children’s pastime was turned into a professional combat sport.

The pay-per-view event saw 16 men and eight women, most used to mixed martial arts and boxing but this time with a specialized pillow, advance through a bracket style competition until a champion emerged.

On the women’s side it was Brazilian Istela Nunes defeating American Kendahl Voelker and the men’s final saw American Hauley Tillman defeat countryman Marcus Brimage. Each winner earned a title belt and $5,000.

That was the entire article.

I saw the video of the “fight” and it is exactly like you imagine it would be.

Let me tell you something: God bless capitalism and the United States. It’s this kind of imagination and innovation that makes this country great. I hope the guy who did this made a ton of money.

Why Not?

According to the New York Post:

In a first for the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York, a same-sex penguin couple hatched a baby chick, local news station 13 WHAM reported, and will now raise the chick as a pair.

The two adult male Humboldt Penguins — Elmer and Lima — became first-time dads on Jan. 1.

The zoo said Elmer and Lima formed a bond for the current breeding season and have built a home base in a nest “and defended their territory.”

I mean, why not?

More to the story:

  • The gay thing is a stretch. The birds could just be friends. It’s not clear they were ever having sex so it’s not clear how the zoo figured out they were gay.
  • The zoo was happy about this because the numbers of penguins in the zoo means they can have other penguins foster raise an egg and a chick. So that makes sense.
  • They tried to have these two birds raise a couple of eggs before and ended up breaking them. I don’t think much about this. In the Disney movie, March of the Penguins, penguins break their eggs all the time.
  • The male penguins also help to hatch the chicks.

What I hate about this story is what the zoo wants it to mean. Ted Fox, the zoo director, said:

“Elmer and Lima’s success at fostering is one more story that our zoo can share to help people of all ages and backgrounds relate to animals.”

What the zoo is trying to do a naturalize homosexuality. The LGBTQI+ community has been trying to do this for decades. The normalized it, they naturalized it.

I’ve said this before. Nature is absolute, unchanging. Normal is subjective and changes all the time based on opinion. It is impossible, in nature, for men to become women. But our society has normalized it.

That’s what the zoo is doing here.

Episode 480 – Let’s Talk Dumb

Let’s talk about the dumb stuff that probably didn’t make it into the mainstream news.

Let’s start with this. Why not start a day of stupid stories with the mumbling of a stupid man:

What did he say?

 

Yeah, Why Not

There’s a cold snap back east. Sothern Florida released a warning today. Not of the cold or frost or snow. But of falling iguanas. That’s right, lizards are falling

It is going to reach a temperature of 40 degrees. Iguanas are cold-blooded so their body temperature lowers with the weather and slows their metabolism. When it gets too cold, they fall asleep or hibernate. Since iguanas live in trees, gravity takes over when the fall asleep and they fall on people. Not only do they fall on people, they are really pissed off when they wake up.

I have no commentary about this. It’s not even surprising the way the world is now.

 

Could He Kiss More Ass?

According to the Daily Wire:

“The first rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club.” But apparently, the first rule in communist China is that the cops always win. 

At least that’s the message being sent in the edited version of the cult classic 1999 film “Fight Club” starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. Viewers began noticing the change on the edited version posted to China’s streaming platform Tencent Video, NBC News reported. In the original version, “Fight Club” ends with massive explosions to solidify the overall anarchistic narrative. 

However, the censored version available in China cuts off before the bombs go off because police have ruined Norton’s plan. Instead, the screen fades to black and includes the text, “The police rapidly figured out the whole plan and arrested all criminals, successfully preventing the bomb from exploding.” 

It is hysterical. The text just comes out of nowhere, completely cutting off the end of the movie. That’s because the Chinese authorities do not tolerate crime and can never be fooled. Apparently, Edward Norton was put in an insane asylum and grew to appreciate the government.

Now, we know China does this and Hollywood is OK with it. But do they really need to kiss China’s ass about censoring the ending? Apparently so.

The author of the book, Chuck Palahniuk, tweeted:

“Have You Seen This Sh**? This is SUPER wonderful! Everyone gets a happy ending in China!”

He then commented on how the United States has banned his book within several institutions so China changing the ending is no big deal. That’s right, the United States is worse than China. Then he named who banned his book: the Texas prison systems and a bunch of private schools.

You can’t make this crap up. Looking at the movie or book, does it sound like it should be reading for prisoners and children?

The Hollywood Reporter also commented positively on the change:

“The irony is that the way the Chinese have changed it is they’ve aligned the ending almost exactly with the ending of the book, as opposed to Fincher’s ending, which was the more spectacular visual ending. So in a way, the Chinese brought the movie back to the book a little bit.”

I know everyone wants to make money and China is a huge market, but come on. Censorship is bad, no matter who does it. Yeah, prisoners are going to have to get out of jail to read it in Texas and kids need to grow up before they read it. But this does not make the United States as bad as China.

Best Job For a Woman…

Amy Schneider, who had a 40-game winning streak on Jeopardy finally lost. She racked up $1,382,800 and became the winningest woman in Jeopardy history. I think she ended up as the third biggest winner ever.

There’s just one problem. Amy is a biological man. This is just further evidence that the best woman in competition are men. Look at this guy at the University of Pennsylvania who, after 20 years, decided to be a woman and is now kicking the crap out of all the women while smashing all the women’s records in swimming. Or the two boys in a Connecticut high school that broke all the girls records in the 100 and 200 meters. Or the MMA fighter, Fallon Fox, who fought a woman in the ring and broke her skull.

Tell you what, I did not think it was going to be so easy to bring back the patriarchy.

What Do You Expect for $2000

According to the Daily Wire:

This week, Barbara Ferrer, the Los Angeles County Public Health Director, announced that all attendees for Super Bowl LVI, to be held at SoFi stadium, will be given KN95 masks and must wear masks unless they are eating or drinking.

Ferrer also noted that fans will be consistently reminded to wear their masks.

“Fans heading to the NFL Experience at the LA Convention Center, the NFL’s ‘interactive football theme park’ launching the week ahead of the February 13 Super Bowl, will receive free take-home test kits ‘with messaging to test before the big game,’ said Ferrer,” CNN reported, adding, “She said the NFL anticipates distributing over 60,000 test kits. The county will set up vaccination sites at the NFL Experience and anyone receiving first, second, or a booster dose of vaccine will be given free entry to the event.”

You know, for $2000 a ticket, you’d think you’d get a free beer or nachos or something. Not free COVID tests and KN95 masks (which really suck, by the way).

That’s another thing, have you ever seen Barbara Ferrer? She looks like Beetlejuice with the body of Jack Skellington. That’s the L.A. County Health Director. To trust a broad who looks like she died seven years ago on health advice is insane.

I have always thought one had to be nuts to pay that much money for a seat at the Super Bowl. The views are better on television, the food is better at home, the booze is cheaper at home and you can turn to the Puppy Bowl during the half time show. If you can afford $2000 a ticket, you can afford a 90″ television and a case of Bud. You’ll have a far better time.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/super-bowl-attendees-will-be-forced-to-wear-masks-unless-eating-or-drinking

 

Guess Who They Picked

Need more proof that pot and booze can make you stupid? Let’s talk about Neil Young.

Young, whose last hit was about 300 years ago, didn’t like what Joe Rogan was saying about the China virus. And that’s not a shock, he’s a rich man from Canada so he probably doesn’t have to follow any of the draconian rules Canada has imposed.

So Young released an open letter to his management team and record label, saying:

“Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.

“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform. They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.”

This is a risky move for Young. It was reported that 65% of his streaming income came from Spotify. That’s high. For him, not for Spotify. They pain Joe Rogan about $100 million and he has 11 million subscribers, by far the most on Spotify. Joe Rogan’s podcast has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. As Joe Biden would say, not hyperbole.

Needless to say, Young sobered up and pulled his open letter but not before Spotify responded:

“Spotify Technology SA is in the process of removing Neil Young’s music, according to people familiar with the matter, as the folk-rock star isn’t wavering in his objections to Joe Rogan’s podcast.”

Don’t panic, all you 55-year-old folk music fans. He’ll be back on. But I love this.

When the rubber hits the road, even Leftist organizations will piss on other Leftists to keep the money coming in. And where is the money coming from now? Conservatives or very moderate liberals (as Joe Rogan is). Who is the top cable news outlet? Fox News. Who has the highest rated podcast? Joe Rogan. Who has the highest rated late night comedy show? Greg Gutfeld on Fox News. Yeah, he’s beating out Colbert, Fallon and Kimmel. In the last election, who had the highest overall ratings? Louder with Crowder from Blaze TV.

You know why this is happening? Conservative media is fun, interesting, risky and informative. This is a start how conservatism takes back the culture.

Walt Is Turning Over in his Grave

Disney is facing problems.

Peter Dinklage, who played the dwarf, Tyrion Lannister, on Game of Thrones, is pissed. Notice how I called him a dwarf? That’s because he played a dwarf on the show. He was referred to as a dwarf.

So what is he pissed about? Disney is releasing a modern day Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. He said:

“Literally no offense to anyone, but I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White — but you’re still telling the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Take a step back and look at what you’re doing there. It makes no sense to me. You’re progressive in one way, but then you’re still making that f***ing backward story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together? What the f*** are you doing, man? Have I done nothing to advance the cause from my soapbox? I guess I’m not loud enough.”

Maybe he needs two soapboxes to be heard.

A few things here:

  • Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was written by the Brother Grimm in 1812. It’s a story. Making it woke will change the story and it will no longer be Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
  • Peter Dinklage made millions not because he is a great actor, which he is, but because he’s a dwarf who can act!
  • Being a dwarf isn’t really a disability. They are typically just short.

By the way, you aren’t allowed to say dwarf or midget anymore, which is weird. They are actually descriptors. Dwarves have adult size appendages but short stature. A midget is one short of stature but their body parts are proportional. You know where I learned that? In high school while reading the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

Anyway, Disney had a response to this. They said:

“To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community. We look forward to sharing more as the film heads into production after a lengthy development period.”

I love when the woke beats on the woke. Don’t forget Disney put warning tags on Peter Pan, Dumbo, The Aristocrats, The Jungle Book and The Swiss Family Robinson.

So, congratulations to Peter Dinklage for making sure that other little people can’t get jobs after he made millions of dollars simply because he’s a little person.

Well, Duh!

You know the typical description of the comic book reader and collector? It is a straight man, 25-40 years old, usually a little overweight because of all the Hot Pockets he eats. They are usually bitter because they can’t get a date so they settle with a little D&D on a Saturday night with the other dateless comic book collectors.

You know what these guys don’t read? Comics about a gay Superman who’s is fighting climate change.

That’s what DC Comics is finding.

They released a comic about the bi-sexual son of Superman who gets in a relationship with some Asian guy while he is fighting climate change. I’m not kidding. I’m sure you heard me talk about this last summer.

Guess what? No one bought it. The comic hasn’t cracked the top 50 in units sold of comic books since it was released in November. Many comic “experts” are saying this might be the end of Superman. DCs top comics are all Batman and people might have a hard time embracing a character that takes it in the butt.

Wokeness may have killed what only kryptonite could kill.

Why Would She Do This?

You can’t make this shit up.

It was reported in the news last week that a truck with a bunch of lab monkeys crashed on a freeway in Montour County, Pennsylvania. Three monkeys dies. I would say this is a tragedy but I have a feeling the fate of these monkeys was pretty much sealed.

The story is there was this woman who wanted to help out. Michele Fallon decided to get out of her car and walk up to the truck. She saw the boxes on the truck. The boxes had holes, because the monkeys needed to breathe, and she saw fur. So she thought they were cats.

Fallon said:

“So I go over to check the cats out, and I’m sticking my finger in because I see the fur. Then I hear this weird grunting noise and it pops up, and I’m getting really close to it and I hear a monkey doing a hissing noise. I backed away and I told the guy that they were not cats, they were monkeys.”

Now, Fallon has reported and is being treated for some illness she might have received from the monkeys. According to Newsweek:

Fallon became concerned because she has a cut on her hand and began experiencing pink eye symptoms, so she went to the emergency room at a local hospital, she told local news station WBRE-TV. She is now taking preventative medicine for about two weeks and received her first dose of the rabies vaccine.

There are two takeaways here:

  • Is it surprising that a world pandemic started? These guys are transporting diseased monkeys in wood crates in a 1985 Mack truck. Maybe I’m off here, but I think, after the last two years of pandemic, maybe there should be a little more regulation on transporting diseased monkeys.
  • If you want to help with an accident that is carrying a truckload of animals in sealed crates, don’t stick your finger in the crate, even if it is a cat. They probably have those cats in crates with only air holes for a reason. I mean, if these were good cats, they’d probably be in the cab with the driver. Or better yet, the doctor doing the experiments himself would probably drive the cat in his Ford Focus.

Now That’s Creepy

According to the New York Post:

A porn star has shared the “cringe” message sent to her by her uncle after he discovered what she did for a living.

The XXX actress, who works under the stage name Karlie Brooks, shared a screengrab of the stomach-churning text in a TikTok video last week.

OK, you might think this is a cringe-worthy event because the uncle is going to tell the rest of the family that the daughter has got her cooch on camera for strange men to see but no. That’s not it.

Her uncle sent her a text:

Ugh! Christmas dinner is going to be awkward. I have a feeling some of the drooling being done won’t be for the cranberry sauce.

Episode 474 – You’ve Got to be Kidding Me

I haven’t talked about some of the minor news in a while. Doing this podcast four days a week instead of five days a week will force me to miss some things.

But there are some very small stories that have some big consequences to Western Civilization.

Let’s talk about them.

 

This Will Be Ignored

Joe Biden can’t beat the forecasts when it comes to unemployment but he beats the crap out of the forecasts out of one thing: inflation.

Inflation has gone up 7% in December. That is the worst rate since June of 1982 when it was up 7.1%. This is a half percent jump from November. This measures all sorts of products such as cars, food, energy and other goods.

Here is the breakdown:

  • Energy went down, 0.4%. That sounds great but let’s remember that:
    • Gas is up 49%.
    • Natural gas is up 24%.
    • Electricity is up 6.3%.
  • Food prices rose 0.5% to 6.4%.
    • beef and veal (18.6%)
    • pork (15.1%)
    • chicken (10.4%)
    • ham (10%)
    • fish (8.4%)
  • cereals and cereal products, which increased 0.8%
  • bakery products has soared 6.8%.
  • Pre-owned car prices, a key component of the months long inflation surge, increased again last month, jumping 3.5% from the previous month and 37.3% year-over-year.
  • Rental cars, meanwhile, shot up a stunning 36% from last December, although they actually declined 4.4% in December compared to November.
  • The cost of new cars, meanwhile, rose 1.3% in December from the previous month and 11.8% from the prior year.
  • Rent costs swelled 0.4% in December and 4.2% over the past 12 months.
  • prices for furniture (17.3%)
  • laundry equipment (12.1%)
  • clothing (5.8%)
  • tools and other outdoor equipment (7.2%)

So, there you have it. Wondering why your raise is gone? It’s because you have to eat dinner tonight and drive to the store to get it.

This is the Symptom of Weakness

According to the Daily Wire:

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Ali Fadavi said during a recent interview that when the time is right, the Islamic Republic of Iran is planning to strike the United States, which comes amid increasing threats from Iran toward the U.S.

Fadavi was recorded saying:

“They did very quickly what we asked them to do. This is the status of the Americans, this is the status of the enemies of Allah, and this is the status of those who stand with the Axis of Falsehood. We do not have the slightest doubt that at the right time, when we strike America – the Great Satan – and its Zionist followers, we will strike them with great force.”

He later stated:

“If the Zionists do something stupid and take a step against us, whether big or small, we will see this as a sign that Allah decreed that we should be attacked so that we could retaliate. This would mean the annihilation of the Zionists. It is a fact that the Zionists will go away much faster than the time frame determined by the Leader. Soon we will witness the annihilation of the Americans and their dominance over the world, and specifically over this region. Soon we will see them leave the region. This will definitely happen.”

This is not the first time this has been said. The Iranians are pissed off about the death of Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s terrorist general by Donald Trump. They want the Biden administration to arrest and convict everyone who had to do with the death of Soleimani, including Donald Trump.

Now, mind you, Soleimani was killed in Iraq during a terrorist uprising he allegedly organized.

Now, do I think anything is going to come of this? Do I think Biden is going to throw Trump in jail? No, I doubt it but I wouldn’t put it past him. But I do think we are witnessing a terrorist warning. It also shows how emboldened Iran has gotten because of Joe Biden’s weakness and Biden’s weird need to get back into the nuclear agreement with Iran even though Iran probably already has a nuclear weapon.

Between Afghanistan and Iran, I think we should prepare for a terrorist attack in 2022.

Speaking of Afghanistan

I order to keep up the memory of Afghanistan and how f-ed up they are because of Joe Biden’s retreat from the country. The retreat that killed 13 servicemen and a few hundred Afghanis.

The Taliban is having an issue with women protesting the the fact that the Taliban is taking away all the rights of women, raping them, forcing them into marriages, beating them and executing them on the streets because they won’t wear their burkas. All the rights that they had when the 2000 troops were allowed to be there.

To quell these protests, the Taliban has decided it would be a good idea to chop off the heads of mannequins that are found in stores in mock executions.

Aren’t you glad that we left Afghanistan in the hands of such competent leadership?

China Virus Insanity

It’s Not Child Abuse Anymore

According to CNN:

A Texas mother has been charged with endangering a child after she allegedly placed her 13-year-old son, who had Covid-19, into her car’s trunk to avoid being exposed to the virus, according to a warrant from the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Sarah Beam, 41, was charged after authorities arrived at a Houston-area Covid testing site on January 3 following a report that a health services official had found the child in trunk of Beam’s car. According to the warrant, the director of health services stated she was gathering information from cars in a line for Covid testing when “she found a female driver, later identified as Sarah Beam, having her child in the trunk of her car.”
The health director told police “the defendant confirmed that her son, K.H., who is a 13-year-old child, was in the trunk of the car due (to) the child having been tested positive for Covid.”

This woman is a school teacher.

Apparently, she was driving to a testing site, got out of the car, opened the trunk and let her son out so he could get tested.

I don’t know what’s worse about this story:

  • That we have people in this country so paranoid that they’ll abuse their kids.
  • That there are narcissists out there that have kids.
  • That narcissists like this are actually teachers.

I know what is the worst take-away from this story. It is that this virus has given us an excuse to systemically abuse our children.

I bet you that, not only is this broad out of jail and tweeting social justice messages and selfies on Tik Tok, but her son has been put back in that home, preparing his own mac-and-cheese in between bouts of downloading porn off the Internet because he is unsupervised.

Our children are not allowed to go to school. They are not allowed to participate in activities. They cannot see faces because they are forced to wear masks all the time. They are forced to eat outside and socially distance during lunch times.

All this is OK according to the government. What the hell so kids need socialization for anyway?

Increased suicide rates, increased drug use, lower test scores, lower literacy over the last year. These are all just coincidences.

 

Bigger Problem Here

This story is so insane I did not think you’d believe it was real. So here’s the guy that experienced this directly:

I am so amazed by this, I initially didn’t know what to say. Here’s the E-mail:

This is the problem when businesses go woke.

Let’s understand something, wokeness is a form of narcissism. If you need proof, watch a couple of Tik Tok videos where the nut jobs talk about their pronouns or teachers who talk about their sexual preferences with their students. This is pure narcissism. The reason it has become so ingrained in our society is that businesses have gone woke and support the woke narcissism of some of their employees. Heck, I’ll go so far as a vast minority of their employees.

I also laugh at the fact that the reason businesses and the population should support the woke narcissists are because the narcissist has rights. There’s a huge problem with this argument. It is not a right when your right is impeding on the rights of another. This guy has the right (and scientific reason) not to have to wear a mask. What about his rights?

When I first read this, I thought this guy needs to quit and find another job. No. This guy needs to refuse to wear a mask in front of his computer screen and force this person to quit or for the company to get rid of this dumbass. I guarantee that this broad who is so scared of no one wearing masks that she’s a crappy employee that just bitches a lot.

Typical Bureaucracy

Need proof that government and bureaucracy suck at everything?

The Boston Marathon Bomber, who is serving life in prison at Super Max in Florence, Colorado, received a $1400 stimulus check from the government during the pandemic.

He also received $250 from the Office of Federal Defenders of New York. All this is tax payer money.

Of course, it was taken away but it just shows how messed up our government is.

My question is: How many criminals received a stimulus check without anyone discovering it?

https://www.dailywire.com/news/boston-marathon-bomber-received-1400-covid-relief-check-from-bidens-stimulus-bill-reports

 

Only 74%?

According to Newsmax:

Nearly 3 in 4 American adults believe there only are two genders, a new Rasmussen Reports survey found.

The Rasmussen poll found that 63% strongly agreed when asked, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement: There are two genders, male and female?” Another 18% disagreed.

Although majorities in every political category agreed that there are only two genders, Democrats (47%) were less likely than Republicans (82%) or the unaffiliated (60%) to say they strongly agreed, Rasmussen found.

Americans with incomes of $200,000 a year or more were most likely to disagree with the statement that there are only two genders.

Couple of things:

  • Is this the end of Western Civilization where more than 25% of the American population does not believe that men and women are different?
  • This also shows that being highly educated and earning a lot of money doesn’t make you smart.

https://www.newsmax.com/us/rasmussen-poll-genders-male-female/2021/12/27/id/1050088/

 

Crime Pays

Apparently, crime today does pay. And when something pays, you have to pay taxes on that income.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released a new stipulation for the 2021 tax season. From the IRS website:

What the fuck?!

I have a few questions:

  • Do you get the impression the federal government doesn’t take crime seriously?
  • Do you think the federal government sees crime as a job and a source of income?
  • Do you think that the government is so dumb as to believe they will get taxes from criminals?
  • Do you think high crime rates is an accident?
  • You know what I think. I’ve said it about a dozen times.

Here’s the thing:

  • High crime in blue cities and states is not because of bad policy. High crime is the policy.
  • High inflation is not because of bad policy. High inflation is the policy.
  • A stagnant economy is not because of bad policy. A stagnant economy is the policy.
  • Energy and gas shortages are not because of bad policy. Energy and gas shortages are the policy.
  • All this crap comes from the AOC’s Green New Deal.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Episode 460 – She Did What Now?

The last three podcasts have dealt with the case that could overturn Roe vs. Wade and Planned Parenthood vs. Casey. I have been tunnel-visioned. I have neglected all of the other news out there. I cannot miss the other important news that has been occurring in the world simply for a huge social issue that is important to me.

Let me bring you back up to date!

 

Personal News

So this there was some great news and some bad news from this weekend:

The good news:

  • I finished two chapters of my book. Both written and typing.
  • I found an artist to help me with my cover art and some of the pictures in my book. OK, it’s not a real artist. It’s my dad who took up painting when he retired.
  • I finished my Christmas shopping. All online. Josie wanted to go to a mall and she did. But she didn’t make me go. That was great news.
  • I gave her some money. She went to the mall but it was terribly crowded and she found nothing. She came back horribly frustrated and gave me back my money. That’s great news. Not that the malls were terribly crowded (which I thought was funny) or that she was horribly frustrated (Though I told you so, comes to mind) but that she gave me my money back.

Now comes the bad news:

  • When one successfully finishes their Christmas shopping online, the crap is eventually delivered. Yeah, that did happen.
  • Josie took all the 6 ounce presents to store in her 3300 square foot apartment but she made me keep the slide and climbing structure that is the size of one of the small pyramids in Egypt. Needless to say, I don’t have room for it in the shoebox that I live in.
  • I’m keeping it on my patio.
  • The problem I have is that it’s going to rain over the next two days. If a drop hits the box of Josie’s grandkids Christmas present, I am screwed.
  • What’s worse, I’m going to have to put this f-ing thing together.
  • I’m just kidding. I’m not putting the thing together. That’s her problem.

Anyway, let’s get to the important news.

 

I Can Believe It

According to the New York Post:

The unidentified female flew from Syracuse, NY, to Atlanta, GA, where she was caught breastfeeding her feline on the plane. A flight attendant told her repeatedly to stop and put her cat back in its cage, however, the woman refused.

I don’t even know what to say about this. Even with the world as it is, this is weird.

The story continues:

A message was sent through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) to alert Delta crew in Atlanta that a passenger in seat 13A “is breastfeeding a cat and will not put cat back in its carrier when [flight attendant] requested.”

There are some things the flight crew could have done to use a technicality to have this gal put the cat back in its carrier. Ask her if the cat is masked.

By the way, this brings up another question. When the vax mandate hits, it the can going to need to be fully vaxxed? With the booster?

The article continues:

Flight attendant Ainsley Elizabeth, who was on board during the incident, took to TikTok on Nov. 13 to explain more of what went down, Newsweek reported.

“This woman had one of those, like, hairless cats swaddled up in a blanket so it looked like a baby,” she said. “Her shirt was up and she was trying to get the cat to latch and she wouldn’t put the cat back in the carrier. And the cat was screaming for its life.”

Not surprised. I do the same thing at the airport when my beer is watered down.

By the way, I would assume because this was one of those wussy cats because it doesn’t have any hair. I’m sure that not having any hair as a cat is a COVID co-morbidity or a pre-existing condition. It should have been wearing a mask and be vaccinated. I don’t need to get the China virus from this cat.

Alright, I’m done. Spent way more time than I should have on this story. There are so many more important stories to go over.

The chick landed in Atlanta, got picked up and was probably issued a $7 fine for animal…I don’t know…cruelty? I haven’t seen this chick’s knockers so I don’t know. I know Atlanta is a Leftist city and doesn’t have any real laws so I doubt anything happened to her.

https://nypost.com/2021/12/02/woman-caught-breastfeeding-her-hairless-cat-on-a-delta-flight/

 

Innovative?

Europe has gone insane, or tyrannical when it comes to this stupid pandemic that kills less than 1% of their population.

Germany has decided to lockdown and separate the unvaccinated from the vaccinated. Sound familiar from Germany? They have grocery stores that have fencing. separating the vaxxed from the unvaxxed. I saw the pictures. First off I thought that fences and walls doesn’t work. Second, they were fences. Do they really think that a fences is going to stop a virus?

Anyway, Italy has also gone nuts, requiring vaccination to live life. Well, one guys came up with a brilliant idea to get a legal vaccine card without actually getting the shot.

From the New York Post:

Guido Russo, 57, had refused to get the jab before showing up Thursday at a vaccine center in Biella, where he used a silicone prosthetic during his ill-fated ploy to trick a nurse with the “well-made” fake arm, the Corriere della Sera newspaper reported.

It worked for the first shot. But, apparently, the nurse during his second shot got a little touchy feely and found out that his arm was fake and his real arm was under his shirt.

This poor bastard is now being investigated for fraud. Russo is a dentist and requires something called a super green pass to live life in Italy. He said his life is now ruined.

According to the New York Post:

“Go away, you have ruined my life,” a peeved Russo told reporters from the behind the door of a villa in Pettinengo. “Go away, I’ll call the carabinieri.”

Russo had told the nurse last week who uncovered his bogus arm that he found himself in a bind.

“I don’t want to get the vaccine, but I need the green pass to work,” he told the nurse, Filippa Bua, la Repubblica reported Sunday.

His life is probably not ruined. Typical Italian exaggeration.

There was no mention of what penalties he could face but he says that his new found fame.

Isn’t There Something Else They Could Research

According to the New York Post:

Taking Viagra slashes Alzheimer’s risk by two-thirds, research suggests.

Scientists claim the love drug may help boost brain health and cut levels of toxic proteins that trigger dementia.

Experts analyzed data on 7.2 million US adults and found regular users had a 69 percent lower chance of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s over the next six years.

Medics say the findings, published in the journal Nature Aging, suggest the little blue pill could soon be prescribed to tackle dementia.

At least when I get older and I get turned on I’ll remember why.

I remember, in the movie Idiocracy, researchers were doing research on making the perfect anti-ED pill instead of researching something one might think is more important like, I don’t know, cancer.

Here’s the Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease. My grandfather had it. But there are two things about this that annoy me. First, Viagra is not exactly a pill that can be taken by an Alzheimer patient, you know, because of the side effects. Not only the obvious side effect but also blood circulation issues that may be dangerous to older people and the reaction that it has with other drugs which older people are surely using. It also is dangerous for high blood pressure patients and patients with heart issues.

But that isn’t my biggest problem with this. You know who makes Viagra? Pfizer. You know what Pfizer also makes? The China virus vaccine. You  know what we know about the China virus vaccine? Not much.

We don’t know the long term effects. We don’t know how long it lasts or why it’s not effective. We don’t know the B-cell and T-cell effects. Maybe Pfizer should stop screwing around with an ED pill and figure that crap out.

You Knew This Was Coming

God bless capitalism. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this.

According to the Daily Wire:

In Massachusetts, an enterprising entrepreneur has opened a store called “Let’s Go Brandon.” The North Attleborough store “sells merchandise like hats, shirts, stickers and signs,” as WJAR reports.

The ubiquitous “Let’s Go Brandon” meme was triggered in early October, when an NBC sports reporter interviewing NASCAR driver Brandon Brown at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama after Brown scored his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series win stated in a video that the crowd was chanting “Let’s go, Brandon!” when in reality they were chanting “F*** Joe Biden.”

This store probably has a lease for only a short time because we have no idea how long Joe Biden is going to be President but this guy is going to make a ton of money in the meantime. What is also surprising is that this store is opened in Massachusetts which is a really blue state.

I’ll repeat what I said before. This is great. Joe Biden has become a national joke. People are beginning to push back against his idiocy. People are recognizing the damage he’s doing. The problem is that Joe Biden has the mental awareness of a palm tree. He’s not running things. We have only about a month to go before his damage can be limited because the campaign season for the 2022 midterms starts and the Dems are going to get their asses kicked and know it. The last thing they want is to go radical while debating a Republican.

We Need More Drugs!

This is great!

From NPR:

City officials in San Francisco want to delay the imposition of a tax on lawful recreational cannabis businesses to help them compete with illegal marijuana dealers.

“Cannabis businesses create good jobs for San Franciscans and provide safe, regulated products to their customers,” Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said in a tweet. “Now is not the time to impose a new tax on small businesses that are just getting established and trying to compete with illicit operators.”

Last week the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance to suspend the Cannabis Business Tax for the 2021 and 2022 tax years.

The ordinance requires a signature from San Francisco Mayor London Breed before it takes effect. “Mayor Breed does intend to sign the ordinance once it passes the Board of Supervisors on a second reading tomorrow,” the mayor’s office told NPR.

Remember when they legalized pot in California they said the state would be making all this money? This is the same reasoning they are using to legalize meth, heroin and coke. Well here’s the problem: If pot is too expensive in the stores, people will sell it cheaper on the streets. This was a debating point against legalization. It wasn’t going to get rid of the drug dealers because their dope was going to be cheaper.

There is another problem the pot dispensaries are having and think this is a bigger problem San Francisco is having in general. Gangs of thieves are breaking into the dispensaries and stealing the pot. Dispensaries are having trouble making a profit and keeping stock because of all the theft and break ins.

But, again, this shows the Left never wants to deal with their real problems.

  • They don’t want to deal with crime that is partially motivated by drugs.
  •  They don’t want to deal with the drug addiction the plagues their streets. In fact, they created places to use drugs and do not arrest those using in public.
  • They don’t want to deal homeless problem that is caused by mental illness or drugs.

Instead, the city council is trying to make drugs easier to get. This is cynical but they want it for a reason. The want to keep a city of zombies. They want to keep the misery and hopelessness. They want to keep it so they keep their power. San Francisco, and Los Angeles too, are centers of polar opposites. You have the rich and powerful, one has to be in San Francisco to afford a place to live. Then you have the drones.

San Francisco is Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. You have the elite, who are described as the Alphas. You have the drones, which are the brainless Deltas. The government encourages the use of drugs, called Soma, the keep the population content and high. Any dissatisfaction is cured by using Soma.

I am not against pot. I don’t think it’s any worse than alcohol. That doesn’t mean I don’t think it’s not dangerous at all and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot. I also think it has some serious medicinal value. But there’s a reason the Left is pushing it. Control.

San Francisco is pushing it.

Why Do They Continue To Do This

This such a dumb story on so many levels.

According to the New York Post:

Columbia University will not discipline a professor who angered students by using the N-word while quoting a scene from the film “8 Mile,” according to the school’s newspaper.

The Columbia Spectator reported that tenured teacher Jonathan Rieder will not face punishment after students filed a Title IX complaint in the wake of the Oct. 28 class.

Rieder, who is white, used the term during a “Culture in America” lecture and claimed he thought it was permissible because he pronounced it with an “a” at the end of the slur, instead of an “er.”

“In retrospect, it’s fair to say that I didn’t need to quote the word,” he wrote in an email to students after the class, according to student news site Bwog. “I regret any pain or offense caused by my quoting, whether one student or the whole class felt pain or offense. You should know that in the remaining weeks of the course, no material will call for saying the word.”

Why anyone would send their kids to college makes me wonder some time.

First off, what kind of idiot is this professor? Does he not read the newspapers? Did he really think this was going to go well for him no matter how he pronounced the N-word?

He didn’t quote Shakespeare or Twain, he quoted Eminem. What the hell does Eminem have to say that should be quoted in a class at Columbia. And who in the hell approved this class and that it would be non-controversial? I will give the school credit for not canning the guy.

And, of course, the wall flower kids.

I remember when one could say anything in college because it’s a place of learning and sharing ideas! No matter how controversial. How are these kids going to survive when they have to get real jobs, screw up and then get yelled at. Why didn’t the school just throw these woke idiots out of class, or better, out of the school.

I pity our future.

Episode 387 – Wait, How Much for That?!

Surprise! Our kids are getting out of college and don’t know how to live real life.

Math is racist and needs to become woke.

And I wish that the morons in San Francisco would be more awake than woke.

 

Geen You Thnk?

SWNS Digital just released a a poll that says that 81% of graduating college students wish they had learned some life skills when they were in school. According to the survey, which covered about 2000 graduating students:

  • 30% moved make home.
  • 31% moved back to their home towns.
  • 32% put their student loans on hold as much as possible.
  • 70% are overwhelmed by their living expenses.
  • 28% don’t have enough credit to get a loan and 39% have bad credit.
  • 17% don’t know how to cook or do their own laundry.
  • 26% do not know basic apartment maintenance such as resetting a router or unclogging a toilet.

The good news is that the students do understand about things like credit scores and even know where to go for financial advice and 70% felt confident about their financial future.

I blame just about everything for this.

Parents need to let their kids grow up. Let them make mistakes. Our kids are way too coddled and protected. I deal with helicopter parenting on a daily basis. Parents should stop buying their children cellphones and make them go out and experience life. Children should have chores. I knew how to do laundry at 11 years old. I was cooking by 15 years old. My grandfather taught me how to, not only how to unclog a drain in a sink and a toilet, he taught me how to fix a toilet and even had me help him swap out a toilet.

Another thing parents need to do is have their teenage kids get jobs when it is legal to do so. This college kids are getting out of college with zero experience in anything. Having a job teaches a lot of things outside of the job they are doing:

  • Learn responsibility.
  • Time management.
  • The value of money including taxes.
  • The importance of attitude.
  • The importance of customer service.

I also blame the school system itself. When I was in school, the teacher was in charge. Well, today, the patients are running the asylum. Children have way too much control of the school itself. They have all these “rights”, which is crap. Children do not have rights. They are there to be prepared for the real world.

As we will talk about in a few minutes, political correctness and social issues have gotten in the way of education. Are kids know nothing of history, civics, math, reading and science. But they do do about fat shaming, racism and LGBTQ stuff.

81% of recent college grads wish they were taught more life skills before graduation

 

Speaking Of That

There is an old video online. This video is a split screen. On the left side of the screen is a teacher teaching how to do multiplication in the new way that common core teaches. On the right side of the screen is a person doing the same multiplication problem on a piece of paper with a men.

The person on the right finishes the problem in 17 seconds (and I think she was taking his time). The teacher is on step two of the very complicated process. In the meantime, the gal is making coffee, she lets the dog out. The teacher finally gets to step three while the right side is pouring her freshly brewed coffee. At the end, we find out that the teacher got the same answer. But it took 3 minutes to do it.

This is the failure of common core.

But math and the other disciplines have become politicized.

Jefferson County Public School (JCPS) district in Louisville, Kentucky has decided that math is way to racist to the point of being violent and the teachers need to be taught how to make math less racist.

The College Fix reported:

The program’s goal is to “eliminate curricular violence and innovate mathematics education” through “anti-bias, anti-racist, and racially equitable practices.”

Educators will engage in monthly sessions with Lateefah Id-Deen, assistant professor of mathematics education at Kennesaw State University, which focus on topics like white supremacy in mathematics, racial trauma in mathematics, and creating anti-racist lesson plans.

Id-Deen teaches mathematics methods courses in the Kennesaw State University Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education, emphasizing racial equity and culturally relevant pedagogy. She is also a frequent speaker at educator conferences and for the local school district.

Some details of the program are:

  • The program will start in August and go through May of 2022.
  • Teachers will be taught once a week for four sessions that will last two hours about how to get rid of racism in math.
  • Teacher will get one-on-one coaching.

This isn’t all that they are trying to implement CRT, LGBTQ philosophy and disability teachings into history into history.

We talked about this before. Math is seen as racist because it is considered objective and that’s a bad thing to the Left. Like if you accept that a man cannot get pregnant, you are being objective and, therefore, a bigot. They believe that math doesn’t have to be objective and there can be right or wrong answers. That showing your work is racist.

Gee, is it any wonder are kids are getting out of college and can’t do anything?

They Could Get One at Lowe’s for $20

San Francisco is having a problem. No it’s not crime or drugs or homelessness. It’s not drugs needles on the streets or the cost-of-living being the highest in the country. It’s their aging public trash cans. So they decided to buy some trash can prototypes and lay them across the city. The bought 15 trash cans.

“OK, Gene, so what?” you may be asking me.

They played $300,000 for those 15 trash cans. In case you can’t do the math, and you won’t be able to you is you learned the common core math, is $20,000 a trash can.

Well, good news! The San Francisco Chronicle says that the cans will eventually go down in price to $2000-3000 per can. I may be way off but I think that might be kind of expensive for a trash can.

Public Works acting Director Alaric Degrafinried agreed during the meeting Wednesday that the prototype cost is “a lot.” He said the main reason it’s so expensive is because San Francisco worked with a designer on a custom-made prototype.

Maybe they should save some money and not get designer trash cans. I don’t know if you’ve been to San Francisco recently but it kind of looks like people aren’t using the toilets much like the trash can so I think they could probably get away with some cheaper trash cans.

Olympic Update

Here are some updates on the Olympics. I know you’re not watching them. the viewership is down by almost 40%, the lowest in 33 years. There are many reasons for this:

  • The time change.
  • Social media.
  • People just aren’t watching a lot of television.
  • The constant social justice messaging by the athletes and commentators really is a turn off.

The IOC and other outlets such as the WNBA have taken cues to try to get normal non-Leftist Americans to watch the Olympics. The IOC made a rule that states no one can protest while on the medal stands. The WNBA told its players there not to kneel anymore.

Of course, Lebron James’ company had a comment on that. Pretty sure this reflects Lebron’s thoughts:

“Rule 50 is a rule in the Olympic Charter that bans any kind of demonstration and prohibits any opinionated political, religious or racial propaganda at the Olympic site in 2021.”

“The only time an athlete is able to speak freely is at press conferences and to the media, but not on the Olympic podium when the world is watching. Simply put, we see this as a way of silencing voices, and as advocates for Athlete empowerment, we take a stand against it.”

Lebron James is too busy to be at the Olympics because he is promoting his new movie because he’s so suppressed.

Anyway, here are some of the stories in the actual sports:

  • The Men’s basketball team lost to France. That’s awesome.
  • The Women’s gymnastic team had some issues and started out very slowly. They still have a shot at the gold medal but they’re going to have to tighten up.
  • The United States did have a record setting day, scoring 10 medals including 4 gold. We still trail China by one medal.
  • The US won six medals on the first day of swimming.
  • We won our first medal ever in fencing. Lee Kiefer won a gold medal.

TicTok

This guy is talking about the conflicts between blacks and Asians. I’ll give him this, at least he realizes blacks are beating up Asians but his reason why it is happening are going to trip you out. Listen:

So, I guess white people are making black people beat up Asian people? I guess all those videos we are seeing is a result of the KKK.

Here’s the big problem with his argument is that Asians typically earn more than white people so white supremacy isn’t doing a good job of allowing people of color to be more successful than other white people.

Episode 386 – Dude, They’re Fish

This new January 6th commission is beginning to look like a crock.

More bad news for the Biden administration and the economy.

And, I don’t care what anyone says, sharks suck.

 

Non-Partisan, Huh?

We have this bipartisan January 6th commission coming up started by Nancy Pelosi. Not sure why. There has already been a report released. Well I do know why. Because:

  • January 6th was determined to be a security lapse and Nancy Pelosi.
  • Donald Trump isn’t in the White House and people are beginning to realize he was actually good for the country.
  • Democrats need to demonize anyone who doesn’t agree with them as white supremacist.
  • Leftist policies are killing the country and they are going to get killed in the 2022 elections. This is a last gasp to save Nancy Pelosi’s speakership.

Apparently, this is not going to be as bipartisan as we thought. Well, I never thought this was going to be bipartisan. Pelosi decided to veto the two Republican picks for the committee: Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Jim Banks (R-IND). When asked why she wanted to get rid of those guys, she said:

“Monday evening, the Minority Leader recommended 5 Members to serve on the Select Committee. I have spoken with him this morning about the objections raised about Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan and the impact their appointments may have on the integrity of the investigation. I also informed him that I was prepared to appoint Representatives Rodney Davis, Kelly Armstrong and Troy Nehls, and requested that he recommend two other Members.”

“With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee.”

That’s not really an answer. What we are hearing from the media is that these two were complicit with the riot. They weren’t. It’s because this is not a bipartisan commission and these two would ask a lot of questions that would embarrass Democrats. Watch, none of the witnesses the Republicans want will be called. Sound familiar?

She had to do this:

  • She is directly to blame for the riot because she did not order extra security even though it was recommended. What about that report?
  • Only one person was killed and it was a Trump supporter (Aslii Babbitt). Who killed her?
  • Who planted the bombs at the RNC and DNC? Was it Antifa or BLM?
  • How many FBI agents were actually there? This might be a bit of a conspiracy theory but it can’t be ignore when combined with the Capitol police letting people into the building.
  • Nobody is getting charged with sedition or treason. Five hundred people are now in jail. Why have these people been in jail for the last 7 months for trespassing?

Bet you a dollar none of these questions are asked.

Nancy said that, now that the committee is bipartisan, by kicking off two Republicans, the committee can proceed.

Jim Banks released the following statement:

“It really made me angry. I served my country in Afghanistan and she is saying that I’m not up to playing a serious role on this Jan. 6 committee.”

“But it just goes to show all along this was never a serious effort on their part, it’s all a political witch hunt. They want to make this all about Donald Trump, dragging Republican members of Congress through the mud and attacking 75 million people that voted for Donald Trump.”

Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader, said f-it. He pulled all the Republicans from the commission. There is only one Republican left on the commission and I say that with tongue in cheek. She’s, at best, a RINO and, at worst, a Democrat that hates Trump as much as the Left. She’s going to lose her next election in Wyoming anyway.

When asked about the Republicans being kicked off the committee, she said she agreed with what the Speaker did. Of course she did. She hates Trump and, since having her leadership position taken away, she has ceased being a Republican. The beauty of this is she’s going to probably lose all her committee assignments. Good.

That’s Not Good

According from the Department of Labor:

419,000 claims for the week ending on July 17 — an increase in 51,000 from the previous week’s levels that again exceeds economists’ predictions.

I’m going to play conspiracy theorist.

  • I think a lot of people are getting jobs.
  • Most get a signing bonus when they get hired.
  • They realize that waking up early sucks and don’t like it.
  • They realize they are getting paid less than unemployment.
  • They get fired for not doing their job.
  • They go back on unemployment while collecting their signup bonus.

That’s kind of a cynical take but I have become cynical as I’ve gotten older. It also shows that Joe Biden’s policies are destabilizing the economy.

Some Dumb Stories to Round It Out

They’re Coming for Them

The San Francisco Gay Men’s Choir released a video of them singing a song called “We’ll Convert Your Children”. Here it is:

Well, that’s disturbing. It’s also creepy. And it’s kind of catchy.

Of course, I wasn’t the only one that saw this as a rather aggressive move. Conservatives throughout social media and the news media really laid into this group. The San Francisco Gay Men’s Choir said the whole thing was just a parody. A parody for what? I’m not sure. They released the following statement when the controversy reached its peak:

“The far-right conservative media found our ‘Message…’ video and have taken it as their cause. This has all happened in the last 24 hours and it continues to pick up steam.” 

“They have taken the lyrics out of context to support a narrative that suits their intolerant and hateful needs. It is obvious the tongue-in-cheek humor is lost on many.”

“After decades of children being indoctrinated and taught intolerance for anyone who is ‘other,’ from using the Bible as a weapon to reparative therapy, it’s our turn. We have dedicated ourselves to being role models, teaching, and spreading the message of love, tolerance and celebration through our music.”

Just reading that statement makes one understand that this was not parody or tongue-in-cheek humor.

  • Again, what is this song a parody for? If I say, “Great idea! Let’s burn down a city,” that parody because anyone who knows me knows I’m being sarcastic.
  • In their statement, any critic of the song is “far right”.
  • They call all the critics “Intolerant and hateful”. Does that sound like they don’t have a chip on their shoulders?
  • It the last line, they say “it’s our turn” to indoctrinate children to a “message of love, tolerance and celebration through our music.” They actually say they are indoctrinating the kids.
  • Finally, the schools are actually indoctrinating children into the LGBTQ philosophy! Most of TikTok is about pronouns and sexual identity. Where do you think the kids are getting this stuff?

They are trying to indoctrinate our kids. They aren’t hiding the ball. They’re just saying it now.

If It Rips My Leg Off

According to the New York Post:

Marine experts and advocates in Australia are urging the public to refrain from using the word “attack” in reference to sharks, declaring that the majestic predatory fish has been unfairly stigmatized as a deliberate killer.

Instead of calling shark attacks, shark attacks, this group wants them called:

  • Interactions.
  • Negative encounters.
  • Incidents.
  • Or just bites.

Department of Primary Industries in New South Wales (NSW DPI) has decided to follow the guidelines stating:

“NSW DPI is respectful that each incident is best described by the individual involved. DPI generally refers to ‘incidents’ or ‘interactions’ in our formal shark reporting.”

Leonardo Guida, shark researcher at the Australian Marine Conservation Society said that these changes when referring to sharks is important because

“because it helps dispel inherent assumptions that sharks are ravenous, mindless man-eating monsters.”

OK, let me make myself clear and very unwoke here: Sharks are ravenous, mindless man-eating monsters. Why do I say that? They eat cans, license plates, boots, coats, golf balls, tires, video cameras and all sorts of strange things. That makes them pretty mindless and ravenous.

Sharks also eat people. That makes them man-eating.

I’ll stick with shark attacks, thank you very much.

More from TikTok

So, here we go with another gender definition. There are so many. In this one, a young chick named Mikaela Happas, is dancing around and defining what a demi-sexual is. Listen:

So, a demi-sexual is a person that will only have sex with a person she has a romantic connection with. Is that what I’m hearing?

Now, I may be really off here but this women seems to be defining what a woman is.
