There Are Consequences

According to the Post Millennial:

Father of three and former Trump administration official Mike Gill has died on Saturday, only days after he was shot during a carjacking in Washington, DC. Gill was shot inside his car but was able to exit the vehicle before collapsing .

His wife issued a statement saying “It is with profound sadness that I wish to inform the community of the passing of my husband, Mike Gill. His sudden departure has left a void in our lives that can never be filled. In this time of grief, we are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from family, friends, and the community, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reached out to offer condolences and assistance.

Really? No Crime was Broken?

According to NBC News:

The U.S. Capitol Police said Thursday that it’s closing an investigation into a leaked video of people having sex inside a Senate hearing room after it determined there was no evidence of a crime.

“After consulting with federal and local prosecutors, as well as doing a comprehensive investigation and review of possible charges, it was determined that — despite a likely violation of Congressional policy — there is currently no evidence that a crime was committed,” the agency said in a statement.

The police said that while the hearing room wasn’t open to the public at the time, when the video was recorded on the morning of Dec. 13, a congressional staffer involved had access to the room inside the Hart Senate Office Building.

“The two people of interest were not cooperative, nor were the elements of any of the possible crimes met,” the statement said. “The Congressional staffer, who has since resigned from his job, exercised his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and refused to talk to us. Our investigators are willing to review new evidence should any come to light.”

But This is a Hate Crime

According to the Daily Wire:

Michael Cassidy, a 35-year-old Navy veteran, was charged with a hate crime on Tuesday after he admitted to beheading a Satanic statue that was on display in the Iowa State Capitol building last month.

Cassidy, a Christian who lives in Mississippi and previously ran for a congressional seat, was arrested and charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief after beheading the statue. Court documents now say that the damage done to the statue will cost between $750 and $1,500 to repair, and prosecutors allege that Cassidy acted “in violation of individual rights” under Iowa’s hate crime statute, KCCI reported. The documents also note that in light of new evidence, his charge has been upped to third-degree criminal mischief, a class D felony.

“Evidence shows the defendant made statements to law enforcement and the public indicating he destroyed the property because of the victim’s religion,” said Lynn Hicks, a spokesman for the Polk County Attorney’s Office, according to the Des Moines Register.

The Satanic Temple of Iowa had received permission from the state to display a Baphomet statue in the state capitol building, and it was reportedly set up near Nativity displays showcased for the Christmas holiday.

Cassidy said of his “crime”:

“I saw this blasphemous statue and was outraged. My conscience is held captive to the word of God, not to bureaucratic decree. And so I acted.”

“The world may tell Christians to submissively accept the legitimization of Satan, but none of the founders would have considered government sanction of Satanic altars inside Capitol buildings as protected by the First Amendment. Anti-Christian values have steadily been mainstreamed more and more in recent decades, and Christians have largely acted like the proverbial frog in the boiling pot of water.”

We Live in a Fantasy World

According to Fox News:

“Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”

Those simple words from Elmo have blown up on social media — and users are not holding back on how they’re really feeling.

The iconic red puppet from Sesame Street took to “X” to see how everyone was handling 2024 so far and the responses attracted by the seemingly innocent tweet were not so innocent.

The various responses ranged from disappointment with the latest football results and the economic crisis to a sharing of brand endorsements and even marital problems.

The wellness check-type tweet turned into a therapy session as thousands of social media users “trauma-dumped” on the character’s “X” page.

“Not feeling too tickled about life rn, Elmo,” one user added to the conversation.

“Elmo, I’m suffering from existential dread over here,” another “X” user commented.

“Elmo I’m gonna be real, I am at my f—ing limit,” one user wrote, garnering over half a million likes on the platform for that comment. 

“Not gonna lie … I’m tired, Elmo. A lot’s going on, Little Red,” another user added.

Another one really laid into him:

Elmo each day the abyss we stare into grows a unique horror. one that was previously unfathomable in nature. our inevitable doom which once accelerated in years, or months, now accelerates in hours, even minutes. however I did have a good grapefruit earlier, thank you for asking

Joe Biden even weighed in:

“I know how hard it is some days to sweep the clouds away and get to sunnier days.

“Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it. Even though it’s hard, you’re never alone.”

Episode 844 – Shut Up! The Elites Are Speaking!

The World Economic Forum had their yearly conference. Needless to say, they are moving forward with their Great Reset. Let’s listen to what they had to say because it is going to affect us a lot within the next few years. Heck, it’s affecting us now.

That’s What These People Are

According to the Daily Wire:

The World Health Organization (WHO) established an expert advisory group on transgender health, seeking guidance from a transgender former prostitute who called the line of work “empowering” and an academic attempting to popularize “genderf**king” as a critical legal theory.

The WHO’s Guidelines Development Group on the Health of Trans and Gender Diverse People was established to facilitate the creation of guidelines aimed at “increasing access and utilization of quality and respectful health services by trans and gender diverse people,” and establishing “health policies that support gender-inclusive care, and legal recognition of self-determined gender identity.”

Among the experts named by the WHO is Erika Castellanos, who the WHO says is “a trans woman living with HIV from Belize who resides in the Netherlands.” Castellanos, a former prostitute, is a member of the International AIDS Society, where he focuses on “youth engagement in HIV activism.” It also includes Florence Ashley, an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta and former clerk at the Supreme Court of Canada, who the WHO describes as a “transfeminine jurist and bioethicist whose work focuses on trans issues in the legal and healthcare systems.” His most recent work is on how to use “genderf**king” as a strategy to resist “gender governance.”

The WHO’s decision to staff the board with radical transgender activists calls into question the organization’s ability to objectively assess the medical consequences of interventions that attempt to modify one’s sex.

Before We Start…

Here is Yuval Noah Harari, a principal advisor to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. He made some statements during a TED talk that shows you where the heads of the WEF are when it comes to freedoms.

This clip should have gone viral. The problem is that these elites want to hide their plans and ideology. They do this by using big words and by speaking to other intellectuals who, supposedly, believe in the same things.

This is insane but this is what these people think.

Some things about this:

  • He makes a declaration that there is no God and the Bible is fiction. 2000 years of philosophy has debunked this. In fact, it makes more sense to believe in God than not.
  • He says rights are a fiction and they don’t exist.
    • This should startle you because he’s justifying oppression.
    • This is straight out of Marxism and was the main point of communism.
  • He says you can cut someone open and not see rights. You know what you also don’t see when you cut someone open?
    • Reason.
    • Creativity.
    • The concept of past, presence and future.
    • The understanding of life and death.
    • Philosophy.
    • Moral understanding.
    • Ethics.
    • Reading, writing and math.
    • Biologically, we are a lot like the monkeys. But we are so much more. No other animal in the history of the world was like us.
    • None of this stuff can be found by cutting us open.
  • The cutting open a person is the exclaimation that we are nothing more than biological beings or animals.
    • This is what made Darwin so dangerous.
    • Animals are malleable. They can be trained. Animals can change.
    • Animals live only by instinct. They have no concept of meaning or purpose.
    • Animals can die and it’s just life. No big deal.
    • Animals can be enslaved and made property. Something the Left has always believed.
  • This is the danger of this ideology. A lot of bad things came from these beliefs.
    • Marxism, socialism, fascism and communism.
    • Slavery.
    • Eugenics
    • Malthusianism.
    • Abortion.
    • Euthanasia.
  • You can throw other concepts is too like designer babies, trans-ing of children and the sexualization of children. Afterall, we’re just animals.

Here’s something to remember and George Orwell said it best in Animal Farm: “All animals are created equal but some are more equal than others.” None of this stuff applies to the elites. To people like Harari. They are too smart to be eating bugs and staying at home all day. That’s only for us.

These people just have one problem. The United States. We believe there is a God and we are made his image. We are not animals. We are all individuals that have our own personalities and cannot be trained. We have natural rights and we have to follow natural laws. The natural rights and laws are absolute and cannot be changed. We also have the natural right to defend ourselves against tyrants like this jerkoff. That’s why these guys go after the United States and not China. We have the right to bear arms and defend ourselves. China doesn’t.

This Is How It Started

The WEF conference started as it always does. It starts with a pagan dancing around in weird clothing praying to a tree or something.

Here is this gal, I think from South America, sneezing on the participants of the conference (1).

Why always a pagan? They did the same thing last year and the year before? Because, unlike the God of Judaism and Christianity, their God is all about nature and humanity is nothing. Also, people who celebrate this crap are usually stupid and can be easily manipulated.

In other words, they are already lesser than the elites. That’s why the elite class loves indigenous people. Not because they are better but because they are easier to control and weaker.

Him Again?

Of course, the elites have to have their hero. Walk in Volodymyr Zelensky. He would have never been anymore than a wet fart in the world if it weren’t for Russia attacking Ukraine. And, yes, he is wearing his fatigues like he just came out of a trench or something instead of getting rich off the United States. Let’s listen (2):

Zelensky is part of the grift. He is a corrupt fascist. He is a tyrant. Ukraine is an oligarchy, not a democracy. He has fooled everyone and become a billionaire because of it.

Can’t Have People Talking

Here is Naomi Oreskes from Harvard and Ruckshan Fernando making the same old statements about social media (3).

They don’t like Twitter because Elon Musk is for free speech and thinks these people are idiots. They free speech because they don’t want to be exposed as frauds. Mind you, they have no problem with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or any of the other platforms because those platforms do what they say.

COVID Was a Test Run

Here is the British Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, talking about the next great pandemic (4).

COVID was a trial run. We will have another pandemic and it will be in the next couple of years. That pandemic will be to enslave people. By bending the knee, we proved we will cooperate.

Time to stop cooperating.

They Even Named the Next One

Here is Tedros Ghebreyesus, the director of the World Health Organization, giving the next virus a name (5).

Got it? We can expect the next pandemic in 2025, it will be called virus X and they will have a plan. Who wants to bet that plan will involve the taking away of freedom, censorship, mass incarceration, economic collapse and riots by Leftists? Oh, yeah, and no toilet paper.

By the way, notice there’s very little curiosity about where the COVID virus came from and no talks about China?

Elections? Pishaw!

Here is another reason why artificial intelligence in dangerous. It will vote for us (6). Here is the guy who invented ChatGPT.

Gee, that makes me feel good about AI. That’s not dangerous at all. By the way, it is Leftists that are coding AI. AI has proven to have bias. Ask ChatGPT if a man can be a woman.

Like Father, Like Son

Here is the son of George Soros, Alex. He is now in control of the Soros fortune. He is just as much an asshole as his father. Maybe more so (7).

He spent 2 minutes and 15 seconds saying nothing and throwing in a few keys words and a lot of “uhs”. The only thing we got was he doesn’t like Donald Trump and he doesn’t know the Constitution. Checks and balances is written into the Constitution.

More Censorship

Here is Alex Reeve Givens from the Center of Democracy and Technology doing what American Leftists do best. Bitch about Republicans not wanting to censor the people in the name of Democracy.

Then There’s the Environment

I don’t know who this broad is but she thinks that fishing is ecocide (11).

Genocide is bad but that ecocide is a thousand times worse. So, in order to prevent ecocide, we must genocide all those who eat fish. Which is half the planet.

A Social Credit Score

There’s a reason the WEF likes China. They like what they’re doing. One of the things they love is the monitoring and social credit score they’ve implemented.

They’ve been talking about this forever. They are creating a chip that will will all have implanted that monitors everything. Shortly after that, they will be able to restrict you movement. This is what they do in China.

The New World Order?

Here’s Jake Sullivan, Joe Biden’s national security advisor, talking about a new world order (13).

Do you have any questions what the goals of the Biden administration has?

Government Sucks at Everything

Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland explains at the World Economic Forum that ‘Decarbonization’ is the way (14).

There’s only one problem: The free market figured out and know production. The government doesn’t know how to do anything. How do we know this? It’s been tried before.

I Wonder If He Flew Private?

Here is John Kerry, spreading the climate panic again. (15)

Some things:

  • He constantly is screaming about climate change.
  • He listens only to the scientists who say what he wants to hear.
  • Mother Nature doesn’t say crap. Personifying nature is more of this pagan crap.
  • We’ve been studying climate for about 100 years. That’s hardly human history. By the way, we survived an ice age.
  • Debate is what he doesn’t have.
  • Everything is a crisis.

Did you not have enough hyperbolae? Here’s a little more from John Kerry (16).

Yes, this is worse than war. Than the Nazis. Than Hitler. Donald Trump is Hitler. Climate change is even worse than Donald Trump. Donald Trump should use that as a campaign ad.

It’s Not All Bad

Surprisingly, there were some people who were calling the WEF out. Here is Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation saying what needs to be done and why the WEF is evil (17).

Everything he said is right. Everything he said are counters to everything in Klaus Schwab’s book. That’s why there was pushback.

Finally, here is the new Argentinian and Conservative President Javier Milei. He really lays into the WEF after a glowing introduction by Klaus Schwab himself (18).

Episode 843 – Color Me Shocked!

A gay man was attacked in San Diego because he’s gay. Be prepared for the biggest surprise of the week.

This “don’t say gay” garbage in Florida has gotten really stupid. I have another stupid story as an example.

And planes seem to be falling out of the sky and running into each other left and right these days. The FAA has a way to solve this problem. Let’s talk about it.

Just Stupid

According to LGBTQ Nation:

A Florida school district has literally banned the dictionary in an effort to comply with Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) book-banning law.

The Escambia County School District has reportedly removed over 2800 books from library shelves as they undergo a review process that will determine if they are inappropriate for students, according to Popular Information. Among the books currently relegated to storage are The American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary.

The Bible contains passages about naked people, drunken incest, and one sex worker who compares her well-endowed male lovers to donkeys.

The district contends these texts could violate H.B. 1069, which DeSantis signed into law in May 2023.

The law is an expansion of the state’s infamous Don’t Say Gay law. In addition to expanding the anti-LGBTQ+ law’s ban on discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity to all grade school levels, H.B. 1069 broadened school board oversight of library collections and empowered Florida parents to challenge any books in school libraries. It requires contested titles to be pulled from shelves for review and specifies that content that “depicts or describes sexual conduct” can be challenged.

The dictionaries define words like “sex” that describe “sexual conduct,” and their removal shows the danger of the law’s broad language.

Very Comforting to Know

According to the New York Post:

The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website. 

“Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring,” the FAA’s website states. “They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability and dwarfism.”

The initiative is part of the FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan, which claims “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.”

The FAA’s website shows the agency’s guidelines on diversity hiring were last updated on March 23, 2022. 

The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s Department of Transportation, is a government agency charged with regulating civil aviation and employs roughly 45,000 people.

Episode 842 – COWARD!

Joe Biden has released what his response to Iran is going to be over the death of three U.S. soldiers. Is his incompetent or a coward? I have an idea.

Taylor Swift is endorsing Joe Biden. Not only is this not a surprise but it won’t work.

And, I have to ask, what happened to the New York Post?

Are You Kidding Me?

The names of those killed in the Iranian attack against troops in Jordan. They are:

  • 24-year-old Spc. Kennedy Ladon Sanders of Waycross, Ga.
  • 23-year-old Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett
  • 46-year-old Sgt. William Jerome Rivers

Joe Biden has promised to do something about it. So much so, everyone knows what he is going to do. A Biden official leaked to Politico:

Among the options on the table for the Pentagon: striking Iranian personnel in Syria or Iraq or Iranian naval assets in the Persian Gulf, according to the officials. The Iranian government, for its part, has suggested that a strike on Iran itself would be a red line. The officials suggested that, once the president gave the go-ahead, the retaliation would likely begin in the next couple of days and come in waves against a range of targets.

A couple of things:

  • This telegraphs our response. Surprise would have been best.
  • It still shows way too much respect for Iran.
  • The fact that not attacking Iran is mentioned proclaims continued weakness of this administration.
  • It appeases Biden’s base who does not want us going after Iran.

Dumbasses of the Day

These People Shouldn’t Vote

According to the Daily Wire:

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn’t stop laughing on Monday about speculation that President Joe Biden and Taylor Swift might team up for the 2024 election.

During a live interview on “CNN News Central,” anchor John Berman asked Jean-Pierre to respond to a New York Times article about efforts to get Swift involved in Biden’s re-election campaign. Berman asked specifically about one part of the article that referenced “sending the president to a stop on Swift’s Eras tour.” 

“So what would Swift’s support give the president?” the CNN anchor asked. “Any plans? Any plans to go on tour?”

The White House Press Secretary laughed before she replied, “So let me first say I got to be really mindful. I’m a federal employee. As you know, there’s something called the Hatch Act, so certainly cannot speak to anything that is related to 2024 an upcoming election.”

“So going to be super, super mindful obviously,” she added. “There are a lot of I know, in my shop in the press office shop, there are a lot of Swifties. If you were, if you will, fans of Taylor Swift. And so I’m just going to leave it there.”

The laughter continued, and Jean-Pierre made it clear more than once that she wasn’t going to get “into the president’s schedule at all from here. As it relates to the 2024 elections.”

In another part of the article, the Times suggested that Biden aides are “drafting wish lists of potential surrogates,” social media influencers, and “the endorsement of their wildest dreams,” being that of Swift.

A Swift endorsement of Biden has even extended to the football world, with former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy alluding on X that Super Bowl LVIII is rigged to allow for a presidential endorsement from Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.  Kelce’s team punched their ticket to the Super Bowl on Sunday with a 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. 

“I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Ramaswamy wrote. “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall.”

“Just some wild speculation over here; let’s see how it ages over the next eight months,” he added. 

The Chiefs will face off against San Francisco following the 49ers’ come-from-behind victory against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, February 11.

What Happened to Them?

According to the New York Post:

Three’s company, two.

Your relationship could be ready for the adventure of polyamory and you might not even know it, according to experts on the subject of non-monogamy.

The more-is-more concept has has become increasingly common among American couples, with a recent study showing that a majority of surveyed Gen-Z-aged participants are opting for open relationships.

A number of happy practitioners recently shared their experiences with HuffPost, suggesting that conventional duos who feel the spark has left their once-passionate romantic lives might consider stepping out — together — as next steps.

Here are six signs the pro-polyamory crowd suggest might signify that your relationship is ready for serious change.

  • Your mind is a curious one
  • Other people give you ‘energy’
  • The connection is strong with your partner
  • There’s a distance in the bedroom
  • You don’t think of it as a problem-solver

But that wasn’t all from the New York Post pushing perverted sexual lifestyles:

They’re swinging into the New Year — and they want you to join them.

A British couple says regularly having sex with others has saved their relationship and they’re encouraging others to give it a go.

Jemma, 43, and Daz, 40, have been swinging for five years and believe it has strengthened the bond they share.

“It is probably something everyone should consider,” Jemma told Jam Press on Friday. “[It’s a way to] enhance your relationship and grow closer through mutual shared experiences.”

“You can also build more trust with your partner and overcome underlying jealousy, attachment, and ego issues,” the erotic Englishwoman enthused, before adding that it also helped boost her body confidence.

Episode 841 – I Told You So

Suddenly, people are learning that pot isn’t all that much a wonder drug.

Taylor Lorenz laments that the legacy media is falling a part, but refuses to acknowledge that people like her are killing it.

And a woman gets pregnant in Italy and this is huge news. I’ll tell you why.

What Does He Do Now?

According to the Daily Wire:

Iranian-backed terrorists in the Middle East killed three U.S. soldiers and injured dozens more in a drone attack.

The latest terrorist attack against U.S. forces in the Middle East marks that 159th attack that U.S. forces have sustained since mid-October.

On Jan. 28, three U.S. service members were killed and 25 injured from a one-way attack [Unmanned Aircraft System] that impacted at a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border,” U.S. Central Command said in a statement. “As a matter of respect for the families and in accordance with DoD policy, the identities of the servicemembers will be withheld until 24 hours after their next of kin have been notified.”

Reuters reported that at least 34 soldiers were being evaluated for possible traumatic brain injuries.

President Joe Biden said in a separate statement that the attack was “carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq.”

And have no doubt — we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing,” Biden said.

Foreign policy experts blamed the attack on Biden’s weakness in responding to America’s adversaries.

Somebody Call a Wah-bulance!

I Told You So

According to the New York Post:

A heartbroken dad warned a lenient California judge established a de facto “license to kill” by sentencing his son’s killer to probation this week after she stabbed him 108 times in a pot-induced frenzy.

“There is no respect and no responsibility for anything anymore,” Sean O’Melia told The Post Wednesday. “If you can stab someone 108 times and get probation, we’re going to have nothing but anarchy and chaos.”

Bryn Spejcher, now 33, had taken a hit of marijuana from a bong while at victim Chad O’Melia’s Thousand Oaks apartment in 2018 when she suddenly began attacking him with a knife.

Despite ingesting a single toke of a standard pot leaf, Spejcher was launched into an extended rage, stabbing the 26-year-old accountant 108 times.

Lawyers for Spejcher, an audiologist, argued that she wasn’t responsible for the bloody slaying because of her intoxicated state.

The obvious point of this story is the removal of responsibility from someone who made a bad choice and murdered someone. I’ve told this story to three people and they all said the same thing: She’ll do it again.

She had the choice to take the weed and bad things happened. What’s next? Drunk drivers who kill people in car accidents are not going to be blamed for killing people?

I have been saying this for ages. People are just beginning to realize that pot is not the friendly drug they think it is.

The New York Times, Washington Post and the Guardian, publications not known for Conservative thought and pro-pot publications are now beginning to point that out.

According to the Guardian:

As marijuana goes mainstream, there is a persistent belief that it’s not addictive. That is in part because addictive behavior emerges more slowly than with substances such as opioids – and cannabis withdrawal isn’t the living hell of getting off those drugs.

But the truth of the matter is clear: “There is no debate that marijuana is both physiologically and psychologically addictive,” says Aaron Weiner, a psychologist and the director of addiction services at Linden Oaks Behavioral Health, a clinic in Illinois. Cannabis withdrawal, according to a 2004 study he cites, can lead to irritability, anxiety, negative mood, loss of appetite and impaired social functioning. Withdrawal symptoms tend to be more severe in heavier users, and have also been observed in non-human primates.

Drugs differ in their effects, but the symptoms of addiction are relatively consistent. Cannabis use can begin as a social activity and then “it becomes the way you relax and cope with your problems,” Weiner said. For problem users, it becomes more central to their lives and takes precedence over seeking fulfillment in work and relationships.

NEWS FLASH! WOMAN GETS PREGNANT!

According to the New York Post:

A transgender man who underwent a mastectomy while transitioning in Italy was found to be five months pregnant — joining a rare group of so-called “seahorse dads.”

The parent-to-be, referred to only as “Marco” in Italian media, already had a breast removal op and was preparing to get rid of the uterus when the pregnancy was discovered at a hospital in Rome, the Telegraph reported.

“Having discovered the pregnancy, the first thing to do is to suspend [hormone] therapy immediately,” Dr. Giulia Senofonte, an endocrinologist, told La Repubblica, the news outlet that first reported it.

The expert on gender therapy warned that the fetus could be at risk.

“If the halting of the therapy is not immediate, there could be consequences, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, which is an important time for the development of the baby’s organs,” Senofonte said.

Later in the article:

Marco, who is expected to go through with the pregnancy, will be the child’s biological mom but will be registered legally as the dad, according to La Repubblica.

The unusual case — believed to be the first of its kind in Italy — makes him a member of a tiny group of people known as “seahorse dads,” transgender men who carry babies, the Telegraph reported.

The term is derived from the fact that among seahorses, the males carry and give birth to their young.

Italian law permits abortion after 90 days only in the case of serious fetal defects or a significant health risk for the mother — but psychological stress from the unusual maternity could justify a therapeutic abortion, said Matilde Vigneri, a consultant at a gender dysphoria clinic in Palermo.

“If Marco’s pregnancy goes ahead, Marco will find himself to be both a biological mother and legal father,” she said, the Times of London reported.

“It will be a shock. Here same-sex families are still without rights, just imagine a child born in such special circumstances,” Vigneri said.

Episode 840 – She Is So Dumb!

Kamala Harris is going around the country promoting the Biden/Harris ticket. You might be asking, is this the best they have?

There is more potential trans violence that the media is ignoring.

And it appears Gen Z is going to crash our economy. Good news! I’ll probably be dead before then.

Dumbass of the Day

I Told You So

According to the Post Millennial:

The FBI arrested a trans-identified Oregon woman on Friday who allegedly made a series of credible violent threats towards minority groups, including Jews, black people, and immigrants.

Elizabeth Ballesteros West, 56, of Cottage Grove, has been taken into custody and is being held at the Lane County Jail, according to the Oregonian.

Court records show that authorities were first alerted to West in September when she had posted on a transgender women’s support group page on Facebook claiming that she was being bullied by “transphobic” coworkers, and saying that she had reached “the end of my rope.”

West’s social media posts included a vow to carry out acts of violence and included photos of firearms, per the affidavit.

It also reported that West said in a post that she will “have to go out in a blaze of glory” and will “have to do what I have to do and pray for the gods to forgive me.”

West, who has been diagnosed with multiple mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, dissociative disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, issued further threats on X in December, records show.

This Will Crash the Economy

According to Fox Business:

Videos of Gen Zers and millennials complaining about the traditional 9-5 job have spread across social media platforms like wildfire and sparked debates about the younger generations’ work ethic, or lack thereof. Some employers are even avoiding hiring from Gen Z, according to one recent survey, with 58% believing these workers are unprepared for the workforce.

Some experts argue Gen Zers aren’t lazy for griping about the corporate job structure, it just means they have radically different priorities than the generations before them.

“Gen Z is not a lazy generation, but it is an entitled generation because they have the freedom to make a more broad set of decisions than older generations that have financial obligations. They’re different,” labor force expert John Frehse told Fox News Digital.

Frehse, the senior managing director and head of global labor strategy for the consulting firm Ankura, explained how data shows younger adults aren’t getting married and having kids at the rates previous generations did. Over half of younger adults are living at home with their parents while less than half say they’re a member of an organized religion, he said.

Because many Gen Zers don’t have a mortgage or family to support, they have more financial freedom to make different life choices, he argued. 

Gen Z also wants their job to accommodate their lifestyle, rather than the other way around. This leads to the younger generation being more likely to work in the gig economy or change jobs frequently, rather than stay in a work environment that they don’t like.

“This is very troubling to employers,” Frehse remarked. 

His research shows Gen Zers are less likely to seek promotions because they don’t want to work overtime and have extra responsibilities that could impinge on their lifestyle. These different motivations are fundamentally misunderstood by some older employers, he said.

Author and culture expert Jessica Kriegel believes the older and younger generations are more alike than they think. But she says social media has added to misconceptions and generational conflict. 

“I believe that we’re a lot more similar than we are different. However, what you are seeing, for example, is more activity on social media from young people, which then leads to more perceptions that baby boomers have, that Gen Z are a certain way because of what they’re seeing on social media, that they’re not seeing from baby boomers. And so, then that leads to conflicts between generations. And it’s sort of an ‘us versus them’ mentality that people dig in to. And that becomes a source of a lot of these misconceptions,” she explained to Fox News Digital.

The job-hopping trend isn’t a new phenomenon with Gen Z, she argued. While data shows that workers in their 20s and 30s on average stay at a company for just three years, versus 10 years for those in their 50s to 60s, there was this same loyalty gap between the two generations, 60 years ago, she said, citing numbers from the Employee Benefits Research Institute.

“So, it’s really more of a life stage issue than a generational issue,” she remarked.

“I think what’s really going on is young people try out a career, don’t really love it, try a different career. Whereas older people have gone through that journey, and they’ve figured out where they want to be and stay, and they’re also closer to retirement, so they have more financial incentive to stay put,” Kriegel said.

Later in the article:

A December 2023 survey of 800 employers and hiring managers in the U.S. from Intelligent.com found over half of employers thought Gen Zers were unprepared for the workforce and displayed unprofessional behavior during job interviews.

The top criticism from employers about Gen Z behavior during interviews was that they failed to maintain eye contact. Half of those polled also said they asked for unreasonable compensation, while 47% said they dressed inappropriately. One in five employers even said they had candidates show up with a parent during a job interview.

Gee, What a Shock

According to Bored Panda:

You have probably already read more than one of our posts about how parents who live under the same roof with their adult children complain that they do not want to participate in managing the household and don’t even make a financial contribution. Well, it’s time to take the next step – it turns out that young people need the support of the older generation when looking for work too.

And if you thought that we were talking about plain old nepotism, when parental connections help their offspring get a prestigious job, then you are definitely mistaken. What if I told you that many recent college grads bring their own parents to job interviews?

Don’t believe me? Too bad. And here’s why – late last year, Intelligent.com, an online magazine specializing in education, student life and work, published the results of its broad survey. As part of the study, 800 U.S. managers, directors, and executives who are somehow involved in hiring were surveyed.

Now prepare to be surprised. First, 39% of respondents claim that in the hiring process, if the question arises of choosing between a recent college graduate and an older candidate, then, all other things being equal, they would prefer someone older. Various options are put forth: offering the candidate a higher salary, allowing them to work remotely or in a hybrid format.

You know what would fix this? Required military service. Get rid of a few bureaucracies and pay people to be n the army.

Episode 839 – STOP RECORDING EVERYTHING!

Donald Trump has pretty much wrapped up the Republican nomination.

Iran is doing something we told you they were going to do two years ago.

And where does China go now?

Dumbass of the Day

And Away We Go

According to the Daily Wire:

Former President Donald Trump has won the Iowa Caucuses.

Trump led the field, sitting at 51%, with around 90% of the vote counted Monday night, according to Decision Desk HQ. DeSantis was sitting in second with 21.3%, and Haley was in third with 19%. Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was in fourth at 7.7%.

The race was called with an unusually low percentage of the vote counted, as multiple outlets — including Fox News, CNN, NBC News, and the Associated Press — all called the race for Trump with just 1% of the vote counted.

The news media flipped out. Here is Rachel Maddow screaming about fascism again:

We are radical? Really? We aren’t trying to ban everything and take the balls and boobs off of children.

Joy Reid was also on that panel so you know there was going to be some crazy talk. Here she is saying why Trump won in Iowa:

Some things:

  • What a racist.
  • Who said that “we will get everything back with Trump”?
  • What if Republicans said the same thing about the black Christians? Biden just finished ripping Republicans at a black Baptist church.

Here she is again, making sure you know this is all about racism:

Some things:

  • She is not going to be a nominee because she’s not a great nominee. She’s all over the place with her policies.
  • She lies about immigrants poisoning immigrants. Trump said illegal immigration is poisoning America and it is.
  • Something interesting is she admits Haley could win if Trump wasn’t on the ballot. So I guess Republicans aren’t racist, they just like Trump.
  • Here’s a news flash: Haley won’t win if Trump isn’t on the ballot. She’s just not a great politician.

This is what we are going to be hearing for the next 11 months (5 years if Trump wins). It will be nothing but fascism and racism.

What a Shock!

According to Fox News:

Top Iran experts in the U.S. and in Israel are warning President Biden that his administration’s strategy of de-escalation and containment targeting the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism – the Islamic Republic of Iran – has failed and America needs to reestablish deterrence against Tehran as fears of the regime obtaining a nuclear device grow.

Alarming reports about Iran moving at an astonishingly fast pace to possess a nuclear weapon have emerged since last month.

In December, Reuters reported that a confidential IAEA report released to member states said it had “increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous output reduction from mid-2023.” Reuters also said in its report “that Iran is enriching to up to 60%, close to the roughly 90% that is weapons grade, at its Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant (PFEP) in its sprawling Natanz complex and at its Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP), which is dug into a mountain.”

In a report titled “How quickly could Iran make nuclear weapons today?” published earlier this month by David Albright, a physicist and founder and president of the Institute for Science and International Security, stated, “The long pole in the tent of building nuclear weapons is essentially complete. Iran can quickly make enough weapon-grade uranium for many nuclear weapons, something it could not do in 2003.” Albright said Iran had a “crash nuclear weapons program” up until 2003, which it then changed to a “more dispersed nuclear weapons effort.”

In his report, Albright, a former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, wrote, “Today, it would need only about a week to produce enough for its first nuclear weapon. It could have enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month, and after five months of producing weapon-grade uranium, it could have enough for 12.”

It’s Going to be a Wild Year!

There was a big election is Taiwan that showed the Taiwan wants nothing to do with China. Lai Ching-te won the election holding the platform that there will be no concessions made to China. The opposition ran on the platform that Taiwan should give in to China.

This brings up the big question of what China is going to do. They were able to take over Hong Kong because the Hong Kong government gave China concessions. Not going to happen in Taiwan.

So where does the Biden administration stand? According to the Post Millennial:

On Saturday, President Joe Biden said that of United States, “We not support independence” for Taiwan after the country voted for Lai Ching-te as its new president. 

According to Politico, Lai has called for Taiwanese independence and faced strong opposition from China, who called the election a choice between war and peace. 

The Biden administration has since clarified that it expects differences between China and Taiwan to be settled peacefully and that it does not support an independent Taiwan. 

Other US officials took to X, to congratulate Lia on his win. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “We congratulate Dr. Lai Ching-te on his victory in Taiwan’s presidential election.” He added, “We also congratulate the Taiwan people for participating in free and fair elections and demonstrating the strength of their democratic system.”

Episode 838 – -The Mouse is Out of the House!

We talked about Disney having some rroubles yesterday. Well, they have more problems. Let’s talk about them.

Tensions between Iran and the United States are growing.

And California is about to implement a new law to protect children. No, no. They still want to cut the balls off your children and grandchildren.

News

Here is some news:

  • Chris Christie has suspended his presidential campaign… finally.
  • Nick Saben, coach of the Alabama college football team is retiring. He coached For 17 years and won 6 NCAA championships.
  • Two committees in the House of Representatives have voted to find Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress.
  • Iranian forces have seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, two U.S. military officials confirmed to Fox News on Thursday. The U.S. boarded this ship a while back and took one million barrels of Iranian oil. This is something to watch.

Dumbass of the Day

Two things that should raise some concerns.

First, he wants to pay people with tax payer money to house illegal aliens. If it is excess money, shouldn’t he just give that money back if his people are struggling?

Finally, this is the beginning. Soon, they are going to force private residences to take people in. They’re going to start with churches.

More Troubles for Disney

According to Daily Wire:

A new horror movie featuring the “Steamboat Willie” version of Mickey Mouse is currently in the works, per a Variety report.

Disney’s copyright to “Steamboat Willie” expired Monday, along with its right to the original versions of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, though the company still holds copyrights for more modern versions of these iconic characters. “Steamboat Willie” is an animated short from 1928 that is widely considered the debut of Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters, however, Mickey doesn’t look the same as the modern versions of the cartoon. According to NPR, “he’s more rascally and rough.”

Independent filmmaker Steven LaMorte released a statement announcing his intentions to capitalize on this new development by making Mickey the main character in a horror flick.

“Steamboat Willie has brought joy to generations, but beneath that cheerful exterior lies a potential for pure, unhinged terror,” LaMorte said in a press release, per the outlet. “It’s a project I’ve been dreaming of, and I can’t wait to unleash this twisted take on this beloved character to the world.”

LaMorte also directed “The Mean One” (2022) a horror film starring the Dr. Seuss character The Grinch. The movie grossed $1 million in theaters.

Disney said in a statement last month the company would be diligent about protecting the copyright-protected version of Mickey Mouse. 

“We will, of course, continue to protect our rights in the more modern versions of Mickey Mouse and other works that remain subject to copyright, and we will work to safeguard against consumer confusion caused by unauthorized uses of Mickey and our other iconic characters,” the company said. 

This development is similar to what happened when the children’s storybook characters Winnie the Pooh and Piglet became public domain property last year. The horror film “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” featuring Pooh and Piglet as deranged serial killers was released last January to mixed reviews.

Go Woke Go Broke

According to the Daily Wire:

Disney isn’t the top-performing movie studio of 2023.

Universal overtook Disney to steal the top spot from the House of Mouse – largely thanks to big hits last year including “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Oppenheimer,” and “M3GAN,” per a Variety report. These and other projects brought in a collective $4.907 billion in worldwide ticket sales, pushing Disney to the second-place spot.

This is the first time Disney hasn’t been the highest-grossing studio since 2015.

Disney released 17 new films in 2023 earning the studio $4.827 billion globally. Those titles included “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” and “The Little Mermaid” plus others. 

Per Variety, the studio sent a memo blaming their fall from the top on releasing seven fewer movies than Universal did last year, which they used as an excuse for the $80 million revenue gap.

The publication noted that this past year was also the first time Disney didn’t have one of the top three movies and the first time since 2013, excluding pandemic years in 2020 and 2021, that the studio didn’t have any films cross the $1 billion threshold. 

That’s significant considering that other studios put out $1 billion hits last year. There was Warner Bros.’ “Barbie” ($1.4 billion) and Universal’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($1.3 billion). Universal also put out  “Oppenheimer” during the summer blockbuster season, earning the studio $950 million and helping cement their place in the top spot.

Disney’s best-performing movie of the year was “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which brought in $845 million. Several of the studio’s efforts were box office disappointments, including “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” “The Marvels,” and “Haunted Mansion.”

Not Sure This is a Bad Idea

According to the Post Millennial:

A Democrat-backed California bill banning contact football for youth under the age of 12 has passed in the State Assembly’s Committee on Arts, Entertainment, Sports, and Tourism.

Proponents of the bill argue safety concerns and the risk of traumatic brain injuries, while critics of the bill say it is discriminatory and tramples on parental rights.

Assembly Bill 734, authored by Democrat state Rep. Kevin McCarty, who serves in California’s 6th district around Sacramento, passed in the committee on Wednesday in a 5-2 vote.

The text of the bill reads: “On and after January 1, 2026” the bill would “prohibit a youth sports organization that conducts a tackle football program, or a youth tackle football league, from allowing a person younger than 12 years of age to be a youth tackle football participant through the organization or league.”

During the hearing, Rep. McCarty argued the need to impose a youth tackle football ban on the dangers of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the risk of suicide that follows the diagnosis. He brought in medical experts to provide testimony.

They Don’t Care About You!

According to Fox News:

Nearly 2,000 migrants being sheltered in a tent shelter in New York City are being transferred to a nearby high school, where the students will have to pivot to remote learning due to the disruption it is causing – sparking outrage from residents and local politicians.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office said it is moving 1,900 migrants from the tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field for safety reasons due to the incoming storms and potential high winds. According to the New York Daily News, Adams told reporters that it was being done out of an “overabundance of caution.”

“We want to make sure people are safe,” he said.

But it is controversially moving them to James Madison High School, which confirmed it was being used as a “temporary overnight respite center” and would be closed as a result on Wednesday — with students being forced to “pivot” to remote learning as a result.

In a statement, Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov called the move “unacceptable,” arguing that Floyd Bennett Field is “not a sustainable housing facility.” 

“Our public schools are meant to be places of learning and growth for our children, and were never intended to be shelters or facilities for emergency housing,” she said.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, a Democrat, said that placing migrants at the Floyd Bennett Field “highlights the mismanagement and waste of money that is all-too-present in City Hall’s approach to shelter and services for asylum seekers.”

The New York Post reported how the move has infuriated parents of students at the school, with one woman screaming at buses as they arrived: “How does it feel that you kicked all the kids out of school tomorrow!”

So Much for Making a Good Movie Again

According to the Daily Wire:

Feminist director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy said “it’s about time” a woman shaped a “Star Wars” movie after being picked to head the next one from Disney.

The Pakistan-born filmmaker will head an upcoming untitled film set for a 2026 release that will follow the story of Rey Skywalker, a female Jedi Master, CNN reported. She is the first woman and the first person of color to direct a Star Wars movie.

Here is a story by CNN making the big and justice-filled announcement:

Some things:

  • Star Wars was special. Disney has gone out of its way to destroy. Her hire doesn’t stop that.
  • Whenever someone is going to destroy something, they throw out the date.
  • Why a woman?

I want to point a couple of things out. This woman has only done feminist documentaries out of Pakistan and she’s only done two of them. She’s never directed anything like this.

Well, we have an answer to that. She gives it in an interview in the Women in the World conference. Let’s listen:

Here’s a little secret, men watch Star Wars. Women do not watch Star Wars. Period. This movie is really going to suck.

Episode 836 – The Truth Is Out There…At the Mall? Part 2

The truth is out there. Apparently it is at the Bayside Mall in Miami.

And California is a crap-hole. I have some more evidence!

Welcome to 2024!

This is such a dumb story, I wouldn’t even bring it up. But this happened to be the big story on social media and I thought this might be worth talking about.

The story goes a bunch of teens at a mall in Miami decided to get together on New Years evening. They started getting a little rowdy. They started shooting fireworks at the patrons and looting the stores. The police got word there was an active shooter at the mall and everyone deployed. It was a huge police presence. No one was killed or anything like that and the riot was disbursed.

That’s not the story. That’s what was reported. But why would you listen to what seems to be a reasonable story on the news when you have TikTok. Let’s listen to the version of the story that has everyone’s panties in a bunch for the last seven days on social media!

Here’s another one:

We really need eyewitness testimony to confirm the alien invasion at the mall. Here’s a guy who was actually there and saw it:

The police finally had to release a statement. (This cop looks like he’s laughing his ass off). Let’s listen:

Really? Does this guy expect us to believe him? He’s the Man. He’s part of the system. He’s part of the big lie. The coverup. The TikTok folk know what’s going on.

Listen folks, the truth is out there. It’s at the Bayside Mall in Miami.

A Waste of Court Time

According to Fox News:

Vin Diesel, Tommy Lee, Jermaine Jackson and others were hit with sexual abuse lawsuits brought under a California law aimed at accountability.

Each lawsuit was brought under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act, which won’t expire until Dec. 31, 2026. 

The law allows victims to revive claims that would otherwise be barred from the legal process due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.

“The purpose is to give alleged victims a second bite at the apple, with an opportunity to pursue claims that they were not in a position to pursue or failed to pursue before the legal timeline for doing so expired,” Ethan Krasnoo, Partner at Reavis Page Jump LLP, explained to Fox News Digital.

Sexual assault and abuse are two of the most underreported crimes,” personal injury lawyer and former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Fox News Digital. “Victims can feel ashamed and may not want to relive their trauma at a very public trial. They may also feel that the public and a jury won’t believe them if it’s a ‘he said, she said’ situation. 

“But the pressure of filing a lawsuit or losing the opportunity altogether can motivate victims to contact a lawyer. And once a perpetrator has been named, that can empower other victims to come forward. That’s what #MeToo was all about.”

Be Carful What You Wish For

According to the Post Millennial:

It has been revealed that sex changes and hormone therapy will be included in the healthcare coverage offered to illegal immigrants in California. As of January 1, everyone, regardless of whether they entered the country via legal means, will qualify for Medi-Cal, the state‘s public health insurance program. This program had typically been reserved for low-income individuals, families with children, seniors, persons with disabilities, people in foster care, pregnant women, and low-income people with diseases such as tuberculosis, cancer, or HIV/AIDS.

Prior to the new rules, illegal immigrants were only able to access emergency and pregnancy-related care, however surgical and non-surgical procedures that “bring primary and secondary gender characteristics into conformity with the individual’s identified gender, including ancillary services, such as hair removal” are now covered as well.

According to the Daily Caller, a state memo regarding Medi-Cal stipulated that “gender-affirming care” is a covered benefit only “when medically necessary.”

“Requests for gender-affirming care,” it added, “should be from specialists experienced in providing culturally competent care to transgender and gender diverse individuals and should use nationally recognized guidelines.”

The decision to include illegal immigrants in Medi-Cal was made in May of last year. State Sen. Maria Elena Durazo called it a “historic investment” that “speaks to California’s commitment to health care as a human right.”

“In California, we believe everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care coverage – regardless of income or immigration status,” Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said in a statement to ABC News at the time. “Through this expansion, we’re making sure families and communities across California are healthier, stronger, and able to get the care they need when they need it.”

Why Is This a Bad Thing?

According to Page Six:

Taylor Swift’s camp is reportedly fuming after the New York Times published an opinion piece earlier this week speculating about the Grammy winner’s sexuality.

“There seems to be no boundary some journalists won’t cross when writing about Taylor, regardless of how invasive, untrue, and inappropriate it is – all under the protective veil of an ‘opinion piece,’” a source told CNN Business Saturday.

“Because of her massive success, in this moment there is a Taylor-shaped hole in people’s ethics,” they added.

The insider emphasized that the Times op-ed — which proposes Swift has been dropping hints about being queer throughout her career — would not “have been allowed to be written about Shawn Mendes or any male artist whose sexuality has been questioned by fans.”

The lengthy op-ed, published Thursday, compiles a laundry list of what the writer labels as “evidence” that allegedly proves the “Blank Space” singer is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Taylor Swift’s team reportedly slammed the New York Times for publishing an opinion article speculating on Taylor Swift’s sexuality. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images

Anna Marks suggests Swift “dropped hairpins,” a slang term for letting others know you are queer, by dying her hair the colors of the bisexual flag in her music video “You Need To Calm Down,” for instance.

“In isolation, a single dropped hairpin is perhaps meaningless or accidental, but considered together, they’re the unfurling of a ballerina bun after a long performance,” the author writes.

“Those dropped hairpins began to appear in Ms. Swift’s artistry long before queer identity was undeniably marketable to mainstream America. They suggest to queer people that she is one of us.”

Enough Already

According to Fox News:

Indoor mask requirements have been reinstated at all New York City public hospitals amid a rise in respiratory viruses including COVID-19 and flu.

The mandate extends to the 11 hospitals, 30 health centers and five long-term care facilities run by NYC Health + Hospitals.

The city’s health commissioner, Dr. Ashwin Vasan, said Wednesday masks will only be required in areas where patients are being treated, according to local ABC News affiliate ABC 7 NY.

Vasan said hospitals have been handling the recent rise in patients well and none are currently overwhelmed, but that the mandate will help protect staff from getting sick.

Data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene shows the seven-day average of COVID-19 hospitalizations has declined from 106 on Dec. 20 to 50 on Dec. 25, although this may be due to reporting delays over the holidays.

Some things:

  • There are 14 million people in New York states and 8 million in New York City.
  • Infections put 2400 people in the hospital in the state, 696 in the city.
  • Mind you, this is also flu.
  • That’s less than 1/2 percent of people being put into the hospital.
