It’s election day! I voted early and decided to throw out a podcast and a blog entry! That’s because there’s a lot to talk about.

Election Day

Today is election day!

What better way to celebrate the day by having a blood moon. Gee, that’s not an ominous sign.

The blood moon was last night, from 1 AM to about 4 AM. It is when the Earth gets between the sun and the moon and gives the moon a blood red color. Unfortunately, it is raining in San Diego so I never got a chance to see it. I am an astronomy buff. That’s too bad because there won’t be another one until 2025.

Stacey Abrams continues to alienate voters.

it’s been found that a lot of black Georgia voters are voting Republican, especially men. She had a great reason as to why black men aren’t voting for Stacey Abrams:

Couple of things:

• In other words black men are so stupid they get fooled by misinformation.
  • Way not to alienate people.
  • Maybe they’re not stupid, maybe they are just not believing Democratic lies anymore.
  • Charlamange the god basically told that to Biden. He asked what have Democrats ever done for the black community. That’s when Biden’s infamous line, “If you vote for Trump, you ain’t black” moment came from.
  • By the way, Republican values (the family, education, religion and law) are far more in tune to the black community than Democratic values.
  • Republicans have just been very bad at messaging.
• Speaking of stupid, what the hell does, “…why they want what they deserve” mean?

In other election news, John Fetterman’s campaign is already starting their election denial BS.

According to Fox News:

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s (D) campaign filed a lawsuit against Pennsylvania election officials on Monday demanding undated or misdated absentee ballots be counted in the midterms.

The decision to sue the Pennsylvania county board of elections comes nearly a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the board to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the Nov. 8 general election that are in undated or incorrectly dated envelopes.

This is why people need to vote in person and not through mail. If you’re too stupid to fill in a ballot correctly or don’t want to make an effort to get to the polling place, you shouldn’t be voting.

This has already been ruled on, it is in the state constitution, it’s going to go nowhere.

But this isn’t the only example of tampering with the system.

According to the Daily Wire:

Indiana election officials removed a Democrat poll worker last week for allegedly pre-selecting Democratic candidates and pressuring citizens to vote for specific candidates.

Beth Sheller, an election administrator for Hamilton County, told Fox News Digital that an inspector report allegedly identified two separate incidents at a polling location in Carmel, Indiana. The incidents may constitute electioneering and election interference by a poll worker named James Zheng.

Zheng has been accused of telling black voters “… not to vote for the racist candidates outside,” according to Chalkboard Review, where officials first identified the accused poll worker.

According to the report, the first incident happened on Thursday evening after the poll worker told a pair of black voters not to vote for pro-parent school board candidates, alleging they were “racist” after encountering a group of education activists outside the polling station.

This is something we need to deal with but not make too big a deal out of. This happens every election but it is not changing elections. There is another video going through the Internet of the same thing happening at another polling place. These people were caught and they were dismissed, story over. I don’t think we should be making a big deal over little things like this.

Am I worried about election tampering, sure. No, I don’t. I don’t think they can pull it off again. If there is another burst pipe or power failure in the middle of the night and suddenly all the results change the next morning, there is going to be an uproar and we will officially be in an autocracy.

Karin Jean Pierre made a statement yesterday that worries me.

KJP: "In modern elections, more and more ballots are being cast in early voting and also by mail. […] We may not know all the winners of elections for a few days. It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. That's how this is supposed to work." pic.twitter.com/fiUQCisHBV

That’s when you’re going to start seeing revolution. I think Democrats know that. But, we won’t know until later today.

In essence, this is what needs to be done to secure elections:

• Elections must be done on the day of the election, except for people out of country or military.
• Elections must be done on paper ballots.
• Voting must be done in person, at a polling place.
• A verification process (state identification) must be implemented.
• Ballots must be counted the night of election day/night. We need to know who wins that night.
• There should be exceptions. For examples, some states have runoffs in their constitutions.
• These procedures must be put into the Constitution as an amendment.

Outside of the Constitutional amendment, everything I have mentioned above has been done for a couple of centuries with few problems (yeah, the 2000 election and the election right after the Civil War, but those are exceptions).

Gee, Wonder Why No One Is Talking About This

The violence against politicians has popped its head again. Unfortunately for Democrats, it’s against the Republican gubernatorial candidate for Arizona.

According to Fox 10 News:

Phoenix Police, the FBI and bomb squad units were called after a “suspicious envelope” containing white powder was allegedly sent to the campaign headquarters of Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Arizona governor.

Police say first responders were called at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6 to an office building near 40th Street and Camelback because of “suspicious items,” but did not confirm that it happened at Lake’s headquarters.

Apparently there was also a threatening messages. Since the FBI is involved, we can be pretty sure we will not get any information because this goes against the Democrats narrative of all that right-wind violence.

Yesterday, at a parade celebrating the Houston Astros World Series win, someone threw a full beer at Ted Cruz.

This comes after a Lee Zeldin supporter was joked by a guy who is a Kathy Houkel.

This is after, another House candidate had a bullet shot through her window.

That was after a Marco Rubio was beaten up by four Leftists in Florida.

I’m not including the attempted stabbing of Lee Zeldin and the assassination attempt of Brett Kavanaugh and his family and all of this has happened this year. Democrats only have January 6th and Paul Pelosi.

And the Paul Pelosi thing is falling apart.

Oops. This makes this entire story really weird. Combine that with the police department not releasing the police report, the Pelosi household not releasing the security footage and the District Attorney not releasing the police body cam footage makes all this look really suspicious.

And they wonder why people are coming up with conspiracy theories.

Dumbasses

The drama at Twitter continues.

So there is a new trend on Twitter. It is Leftists that change their user name to Elon Musk and then spouting Leftist crap. Some of them even changed the picture to match his. The Twitter handle will stay the same, that has to be unique. That’s the one that has the “@” in front of it. For example, My Name is Dumbasses Talking Politics Blog but my handle is at @RunninFewl. Because these people have blue checkmarks, it looks like it might be Elon Musk (unless you read the handle, which I did and knew it was fake).

The first person I saw doing this was Valerie Bertinelli. She was married to Eddie Van Halen and did a show called One Day at a Time, which I watched because I thought she was hot. She was called out immediately and she changed her name immediately.

Another one that did it was Kathy Griffin. I never saw it because Kathy Griffin has blocked me (I am proud). She got suspended. She decided to log on to her dead mother’s account and tweet. This is a violation of Twitter’s terms of service. It’s a security thing.

Musk was pissed about it. He said that if there is anyone who impersonates another person, they will be suspended permanently. This brought screams from Leftists. They said they thought that there was suppose to be humor allowed on Twitter. What these people did is one step short of identity theft. They took Musk’s name, posted his picture and spewed Leftist crap. None of it was funny. I don’t want someone impersonating me. And that shit follows you.

Anyway, Mush said Kathy Griffin can get her account back. If she pays $8 a month.

Good for him. He should do this.

There is something he said I did not like.

This scares me about Musk owning Twitter. I’m afraid his talk is just talk. I’m also very well aware he may have made a badly worded tweet here. He has also pointed out how corrupt Twitter is and that’s before he knows what the algorithm.  But I don’t know what his goal is with Twitter.

Does he want Twitter to be the most accurate platform in the world? Who determines what’s accurate? What do you do if you deem a story as inaccurate?

I won’t lie. this sounds like a lot like what happened to the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Or is Elon Musk for free speech? There will be some BS that’s spread. I’ve done it. I have never deleted a tweet. When I was wrong or tricked, I just admitted it and apologized. I never apologized for my beliefs. Just that I pushed something that was wrong.

Here’s the thing: You can’t have free speech and accuracy. The two don’t go together. Elon Musk needs to trust that people will do some research or read article critically. I’m hoping he sees the difference.

The election is coming up and the Dems messaging is rather odd.

Elon Musk starts tearing apart Twitter.

And NPR releases an audio I think will have the opposite effect than they wanted.

A Great Pitch Before the Election

The elections are under way and the Democrats are on full panic mode. The media is doing their best to try to convince Americans to vote Democratic. The big problem is their “best” just ain’t that good.

Here is Sunny Holsten comparing white women to cockroaches because they are voting Republican.

White women voting for Republicans are like roaches voting for raid. If a host said this about anyone other than white people they’d be immediately fired. pic.twitter.com/8H08ml04xu

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) November 3, 2022

Yeah, that’s going to convince women to vote Democratic. Why do Leftists do this? Why don’t they defend their policies? Because all their policies suck and all they can do is insult and pressure those who are voting red.

Here is a “historian”, Michael Beschloss, on MSNBC saying that democracy is going to end and our kids are going to be arrested and killed:

Reacting to Biden's speech, a presidential historian tells MSNBC that we "could be six days away from losing our rule of law" and that we "are on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system" where children will be "arrested and conceivably killed." pic.twitter.com/zJXe7Odrbl

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) November 3, 2022

Let me get this straight, Democrats are for:

• Abortion.
• Kept kids out of school for two years.
• Are for cutting off body parts and giving them hormones because of this trans thing.
• Indoctrinating them into CRT and radical gender theory.
• Hell, Biden abandoned children in Afghanistan. Ten year old girls are being married to old men.

Here’s James Clyburn makes another huge proclamation.

Fear. That’s all the have. It sounds like this is going to be a huge win for Republicans.

But leave it to Joy Reid to say the dumbest thing out there:

Joy Reid: Republicans “taught people the word inflation. Most people…have never used that word ever in their lives…” pic.twitter.com/yQdkafL9bQ

— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 4, 2022

So these are the reasons we should vote Democratic:

• The economy is in fine shape.
• We are cockroaches if we vote Republican.
• We will become Nazi Germany.
• And our kids will die.

Great messaging. Wonder why they are going to lose on Tuesday.

Moving Forward

The layoffs have started at Twitter. Elon Musk plans to can 3700 employees out of the 7500 employed.

He sent an E-mail last night. It said:

“In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday. We recognize that this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but this action is unfortunately necessary to ensure the company’s success moving forward.

“Given the nature of our distributed workforce and our desire to inform impacted individuals as quickly as possible, communications for this process will take place via email.

“To help ensure the safety of each employee as well as Twitter systems and customer data, our offices will be temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended. If you are in an office or on your way to an office, please return home. We acknowledge this is an incredibly challenging experience to go through, whether or not you are impacted. Thank you for continuing to adhere to Twitter policies that prohibit you from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere. We are grateful for your contributions to Twitter and for your patience as we move through this process.”

Kind of cold but I understand why he’s doing this. In one of my other jobs, we used to do layoffs like this. It sucks, it seems unfair and mean, but they do need to worry about their data and they need to worry about violence. This does happen.

A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the employees. They say that, under federal law, the employees needed to get 60 days notice before being terminated.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires large companies to notify workers two months in advance of planned job cuts.

According to Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney that filed the lawsuit:

“We filed this lawsuit tonight in an attempt to make sure that employees are aware that they should not sign away their rights and that they have an avenue for pursuing their rights.

“We will now see if he is going to continue to thumb his nose at the laws of this country that protect employees. It appears that he’s repeating the same playbook of what he did at Tesla.”

By the way, Musk won that lawsuit. Probably because the company only laid of 10% of its employees. That’s well below the standard which is 33%.

He’s probably going to win this one too. According to WARN’s employer guide, one of the reasons he can do such a mass layoff is for a faltering company. It states:

Faltering company: When, before a plant closing, a company is
actively seeking capital or business and reasonably in good faith
believes that advance notice would preclude its ability to obtain such
capital or business, and this new capital or business would allow the
employer to avoid or postpone a shutdown for a reasonable period…

No one can really argue that Twitter is a struggling company. It has not made money in ages. Musk’s legal team could argue that thy gave notice of a week and they couldn’t wait sixty days to get the company on track. He said as much in his E-mail.

I also am not sure this is valid when the company has been taken over. Musk is the new owner. I am not sure he couldn’t fire everyone especially seeing how volatile the employees are. Chance are this is just a lawyer that wants to make some money through a settlement.

Just Disgusting

National Public Radio (NPR) released an absolutely disgusting audio recording. It is a recording of a woman getting an abortion. The audio is actually about 11 minutes long. It involves the woman being encouraged to get through it by a staff member, the groaning of pain by the patient, the switching on of the suction machine and the completion of the procedure.

It is pretty disgusting and I would suggest avoiding the audio if you have a weak stomach but I think it is important to hear.

I almost didn't want to tweet this but it's something everyone needs to know. NPR on the radio this morning played audio of a woman getting an abortion. You can hear the vacuum turning on, crying, moaning, and the doctor telling her it's done.

Warning: It's tough to listen to. pic.twitter.com/nlSNz0m5Ka

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) November 3, 2022

Believe it of not, this is suppose to be a celebration of abortion. Mind you, we are paying for this with our taxes since NPR is a non-profit supported by government funds.

Some things:

• At 11 weeks, the baby is already formed and the sex can be determined.
• The contrast NPR uses that an abortion is just like a birth. Except you are sticking a vacuum in a woman and sucking the baby out in probably the most brutal ways ever imagined.
• How twisted is it that they celebrate the abortion at the end like parents would celebrate the birth of their child.

This is supposed to support abortion but I think it had the opposite effect. I think it bring up how evil this whole thing is. It’s like an evil ritual that is the opposite and mocks childbirth. I bet that NPR may have figured that out by now especially since this is going viral and for the wrong reason. It actually shows how terrible the process of abortion is.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/npr-airs-audio-of-woman-having-an-abortion

That’s Kind of Sick

Speaking of mocking childbirth.

According to the New York Post:

A 22-year-old woman has opted to get her fallopian tubes extracted from her body and she turned them into a piece of jewelry to tether around her neck.

Savannah Blouin is adamant on not wanting kids and so she underwent an salpingectomy this past July to surgically remove her tubes.

Blouin created a necklace out of her tubes, saying the creation makes her feel “empowered.”

“I had my fallopian tubes [removed] because I’ve always known that I never want to have children,” she told Needtoknow.online recently.

The vegan restaurant waitress felt inspired to make a necklace following the decision to overturn the court case Roe V. Wade. The legal matter protected women’s legal right to have an abortion.

The Connecticut native posted a video on her TikTok, that has since gone viral where she showed how she preserved the “organic matter” in resin to create her neckpiece.

Some things:

• Of course she posted this on TikTok.
• Of course her hair is blue.
• Of course she’s a vegan.
• Of course she has a nose ring and other odd piercings.
• Of course she has tattoos.
• Of course she still wears a mask.

You know there is something that liberals don’t seem to think about when pushing to end child birth is that they are making themselves extinct. Conservatives and religious people actually have lots of kids. So, maybe that’s the silver lining.

There are things happening around the world we should know about but we are always stuck within our little bubble.

Joe Biden is on the campaign trail six days before the election. Turns out he should have stayed home.

And a viral article asks for amnesty from all us conspiracy theorists concerning the China virus when it turns out everything we said is true. Let’s go over it.

News

Here is some news:

According to the Wall Street Journal:

Saudi Arabia has shared intelligence with the U.S. warning of an imminent attack from Iran on targets in the kingdom, putting the American military and others in the Middle East on an elevated alert level, said Saudi and U.S. officials

In response to the warning, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and several other neighboring states have raised the level of alert for their military forces, the officials said. They didn’t provide more details on the Saudi intelligence.

This Is Not Going Well

With on week left until the election and the candidates, President and former President are on the road to try to gain back some momentum. Here’s the problem they are having, they have to speak. For most of them, this is easier said than done.

Here is John Fetterman on CNN discussing (sort of) inflation with Don Lemon. How Lemon can keep a straight face, I don’t know.

Fetterman is incredibly articulate in his response to Don Lemon's question about the causes of inflation. You gotta hear it to believe it. Pennsylvania deserves a senator that understands the system. pic.twitter.com/UjKToqwdBo

His brain damage is really showing and I do not believe he is helping himself by doing these interviews and appearances. I know he feels the need to do it because Mehmet Oz has caught up with him. Why Oz isn’t beating this guy like a red-headed step child.

But it isn’t just Fetterman who should keep himself in the basement. Joe Biden is also hitting the campaign trail. He cruising all over the country making speeches which is giving me a lot of sound bites because he can’t say words anymore. He did a speech for Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida. People were not excited to hear him as can be heard when he was introduced by Wasserman-Schultz:

Having to get the crowd to cheer for the President of the United States is not a good thing. I can’t think of a worse start. That is until Joe Biden started talking.  He had so many gaffs that Town Hall made a little compilation, so I used that. That’s why you’re going to hear music in the background. It was a good video.

Didn’t take Biden long to show his senility:

This was the start of his speech and he already screwed up. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has never been in the Senate. She’s running for a House seat.

Here he is screwing up the acronym for FEMA:

FEMA stands for Federal Emergence Management Agency. He used just about every word beginning with an “A” except the right one. He should know this since he used it for the hurricane in Florida. What is the name of the hurricane, Joe?

It was Hurricane Ian. Not Ivan, not Ion but Ian.

Biden always needs to bring his dead son in on everything even inflation.

He son served in Iraq but dies of brain cancer in Maryland. He brings up his dead son in almost every speech trying to gin up sympathy. It’s cynical. Notice he never brings up Hunter.

He continues with inflation.

Not partisan enough…Jeez. And, no, we do not have the lowest inflation in the world.

Still more on inflation:

So he’s admitting that there is inflation and we are all affected and…that’s it. At least he didn’t blame anyone for it.

Then he goes off on drug companies but can’t remember what they sell:

He just said, “aspirin” yet he can’t remember what he just said.

How about insulin, Joe?

The guy who invented insulin died in 1935, one year before Biden was born. The guy lies so much and no one fact checks him.

He continues with health care and pulls a Hilary Clinton, switching to a southern accent.

I wonder if he realizes that “boy” is considered a racist term? Probably, but he’s just racist so he doesn’t care.

Finally, to Debbie Wasserman Schultze relief, old decides to close his speech:

You knew that was coming. Damn Republicans need a blessing from God to get smarter. They’re so dumb. Just a reminder that Democrats hold the House, Senate and Presidency.

At least he didn’t blame Trump for the mess he made.

Tonight, Biden has decided to make a speech from the Oval Office. That should be fun.

How About No?

Emily Oster is an economist at Brown University. She wrote an article that has gone extremely viral. It’s called Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty: We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.

Let’s go through it.

In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks.  Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”

OK, this family already sounds really annoying!

These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.

No, we actually did know. I am not a doctor and I knew masks didn’t work, being outside was the best way not to catch the virus because of the open air and the sun and

I have been reflecting on this lack of knowledge thanks to a class I’m co-teaching at Brown University on COVID. We’ve spent several lectures reliving the first year of the pandemic, discussing the many important choices we had to make under conditions of tremendous uncertainty.

Some of these choices turned out better than others. To take an example close to my own work, there is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high. The latest figures on learning loss are alarming.  But in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.

All the things she’s talking about were talked about three months after the pandemic started. But everyone who said it was banned from social media or ridiculed.

Another example: When the vaccines came out, we lacked definitive data on the relative efficacies of the Johnson & Johnson shot versus the mRNA options from Pfizer and Moderna. The mRNA vaccines have won out. But at the time, many people in public health were either neutral or expressed a J&J preference. This misstep wasn’t nefarious. It was the result of uncertainty.

“Wasn’t nefarious”? The president of international sales said the vaccines were never tested. They lied about the efficacy of vaccines. They lied about the side effects of the vaccines. They lied about the dangers of COVID. They lied about everything.

Obviously some people intended to mislead and made wildly irresponsible claims. Remember when the public-health community had to spend a lot of time and resources urging Americans not to inject themselves with bleach? That was bad. Misinformation was, and remains, a huge problem. But most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.

Nobody said we should inject ourselves with bleach. This is just one of the many lies spread because of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Given the amount of uncertainty, almost every position was taken on every topic. And on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong. In some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons. In other instances, they had a prescient understanding of the available information.

The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat. Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. All of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of social energy and to drive the culture wars, especially on the internet. These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive. In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing. Treating pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others is preventing us from moving forward.

So much here:

• Getting anything right was not lucky. It was common sense from what we know about viruses.
• There wasn’t heated and unpleasant conversations here. People’s lives were ruined because they didn’t tow the party line.
• I was yelled at several times because I wouldn’t wear my mask all the time.
• I was yelled at in the street because I wasn’t wearing a mask while I was running, alone.

We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge. Los Angeles County closed its beaches in summer 2020. Ex post facto, this makes no more sense than my family’s masked hiking trips. But we need to learn from our mistakes and then let them go. We need to forgive the attacks, too. Because I thought schools should reopen and argued that kids as a group were not at high risk, I was called a “teacher killer” and a “génocidaire.” It wasn’t pleasant, but feelings were high. And I certainly don’t need to dissect and rehash that time for the rest of my days.

I call BS here. She sounds like the person that would have kept schools closed.

Moving on is crucial now, because the pandemic created many problems that we still need to solve.

Student test scores have shown historic declines, more so in math than in reading, and more so for students who were disadvantaged at the start. We need to collect data, experiment, and invest. Is high-dosage tutoring more or less cost-effective than extended school years? Why have some states recovered faster than others? We should focus on questions like these, because answering them is how we will help our children recover.

Many people have neglected their health care over the past several years. Notably, routine vaccination rates for children (for measles, pertussis, etc.) are way down. Rather than debating the role that messaging about COVID vaccines had in this decline, we need to put all our energy into bringing these rates back up. Pediatricians and public-health officials will need to work together on community outreach, and politicians will need to consider school mandates.

The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well. Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward.

So, we should grant amnesty to all those people who lied to us over the past two years. To the same people who are still pushing that we are in a pandemic.

Let’s see:

• Old people were left to die alone in old folks homes.
• We hold any funerals.
• People were fired for not getting vaxxed.
• Children were kept out of school for two years, erasing two decades of math and reading progress.
• Children ended up with myocarditis because of the vaccine.
• 2-year-olds were forced to wear masks.
• People lost their businesses.
• Churches were closed.
• We were being censored on social media.
• People were arrested for not wearing masks.
• People couldn’t see their families because restrictions.
• In China and New Zealand, there were actual concentration camps to imprison COVID positive people.

Let’s remember this small piece of propaganda that was being pushed by people like Jimmie Kimmel:

They wanted us to die. Now they want amnesty?

I also want to point one more thing out. In that article, notice something is missing? They want forgiveness but I still have yet to hear an apology. That seems to be missing from this article.

So, amnesty to the people that have been peddling misinformation about COVID?

F-you! They’ll get some forgiveness when I see people in jail over this.

I have to rant about something.

It’s Halloween time which means it’s time to ban costumes.

And Elon Musk arrives at the Twitter headquarters and there are plenty of cries and gnashing of teeth.

The Rant

One of my grandchildren is being tested for ADHD. He’s one year old.

Let me tell you what’s going to happen:

• He’s going to take the test.
• He’s going to found to have ADHD.
• They’re going to put him on Ritalin.
• He’s going to end up a slobbering zombie.

Leave the kids alone!

Kamalaisms

We cannot go a day with stupid things being said by the White House.

Here is Joe Biden talking about the economy and he just goes off on the size of airplane seats and how it hurts the poor and black people.

You have to give the guy a break. He’s old and senile and probably isn’t going to be President much longer.

Luckily, we have Kamala Harris waiting in the wings and she loves yellow school buses!

God help us.

Luckily, she did say something far more intelligent a little later in her speech.

I lied. This was a stupid statement too.

Yes, that’s why are kids are dumb. Diesel fueled buses.

Tis the Season

It’s Halloween next week which means we have to start banning Halloween costumes. Fox News released an article on the hot new costumes that are going to be banned. Let’s go over them.

• The Jeffry Dahmer costume.
  • Ever since the release of “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” viewers of the MA-rated drama streaming on Netflix have been able to “portray” the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer by purchasing lookalike costumes on eBay and through other online marketplaces.
  • eBay banned sales of Dahmer “costumes” and/or accessories this week.
  • “These items are banned on eBay and are being removed under our ‘Violence and Violent Criminal Policy,’” an eBay spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Wednesday in an emailed statement.
  • Simone Biles tweeted: im just gon go head and say it, put the jeffrey dahmer costumes back in the closet. we ain’t having it!!!!!!
• “Squid Game” costumes were said to be popular after the show’s release on Netflix, according to several reports.
  • The Fayetteville-Manlius School District, located in central New York State, added the costumes to the list of prohibited costumes, since some students were said to be playing their own version of “Squid Game” on the playground.
• In 2016 the creepy clown craze had retailers such as Target pulling clown masks from its 1,800 stores and online shopping site.
  • That same year, New Haven Public School District in New Haven, Connecticut, banned clown costumes and any “symbols of terror” amid Halloween.
• Social media users and activists sounded off in 2020 after a costume called the “WW2 Evacuee Girl Costume” went on sale.
  • Some people on Twitter called it an “Anne Frank costume.”
  • Alexandra DeVitt, a spokesperson for the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect based in New York, referred to the costume as “offensive” and said that it “trivializes her suffering.”
  • The costume is not that bad. It is a typical German child’s clothing from the time period mad up of a green dress, a beret and a purse. If they changed the name it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.
  • Target has pulled the costume but it is available on eBay and Amazon.
• And, of course, anything that culturally appropriating or insensitive including:
  • Geisha costumes.
  • Indian costumes.
  • Sexy Handmaid’s Tales costumes.
  •  Will Smith/Chris Rock slap costumes (especially if you’re white).
  • Queen Elizabeth costumes (too soon).
  • Transphobic costumes.
  • Monkey pox costumes.
  • Body shaming costumes.

So, happy Halloween!

The Takeover

Elon Musk is about to take over Twitter. Probably tomorrow.

He decided to go to the corporate headquarters and he did it in style. He was filmed, walking into the lobby, holding a bathroom sink. Not kidding. When he got closer to the camera, he said, “Let that sink in,” and laughed. He also changed his Twitter profile to “Chief Twit”.

This guy is the ultimate troll. That’s worth $250 billion!

Well, he’s there for a reason. He’s going to can 75% of the company. Facebook is thrilled about it because they are recruiting all the former Twitter employees. Not sure that’s a great idea. Twitter hasn’t made a profit in ten years.

Of course, the Left is flipping out.

Juliette Kayyem tweeted:

Cruel? Really?

I don’t know who this broad is but she’s a blue check on Twitter. I’m hoping I can become a blue check on Twitter that no one knows.

The New York Times and Washington Post is bashing Musk for allowing free speech.

Elon Musk wrote a letter to advertisers:

I wanted to reach out personally to share my motivation in acquiring Twitter. There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.

In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost.

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it because it would be easy. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

That said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences! In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.

I also very much believe that advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform you; it can show you a service or product or medical treatment that you never knew existed, but is right for you. For this to be true, it is essential to show Twitter users advertising that is as relevant as possible to their needs. Low relevancy ads are spam, but highly relevant ads are actually content!

Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows your enterprise. To everyone who has partnered with us, I thank you. Let us build something extraordinary together.

Reality Always Wins

Reality always wins. Ideology will always lose in the end, no matter how much we scream about it. The climate “crisis” is an example of reality winning over ideology.

A German wind farm is being dismantled because there is a coal mine that needs to be expanded. Why? Because wind has a 25% efficiency and coal has a 90% efficiency. Winter is coming. It’s going to get cold, like 10 degrees. And Germany, listening to a 16-year-old, mentally deficient girl from Sweden, has cut off all other energy supplies and people are going to need heat to, you know, survive.

Reality always wins.

This Isn’t Free Speech

This story really bothers me because no one is talking about it.

According to Fox News:

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) recently overturned the ruling of a French court that had fined and issued a jail sentence to a feminist who interrupted a Roman Catholic church service and “aborted” Jesus on the altar while topless.

Eloïse Bouton was bare-breasted and painted in pro-choice slogans all over her body when, in December 2013, she interrupted Christmas carols at Paris’ famous Madeleine church and protested the Catholic Church’s teachings against abortion by simulating an abortion of Jesus.

Wearing a crown of thorns to mock Jesus Christ and a blue veil to deride the Virgin Mary, Bouton carried pieces of ox livers to symbolize an aborted baby as she stood in front of the church altar and pretended to perform an “abortion” before urinating on the ground in front of the congregants.

I just want to point out this is completely evil. The article continues:

Written on Bouton’s body at the time was the French phrase “344 salope,” which translates to “344th slut,” in reference to an open letter of 343 French women who admitted to having an abortion in 1971.

The Ukrainian group Femen, which Bouton used to be a member of, later celebrated the act on social media, writing “Christmas is canceled!” and that “the holy mother Eloïse has just aborted the embryo of Jesus on the altar of the Madeleine.”

The church’s priest filed a legal complaint against Bouton, who was found guilty by a French court of an unlawful “sexual display.” She was sentenced to more than a month in prison and ordered to pay the church €2,000, a punishment France’s highest court upheld.

There are some things that really bother me about this story:

• Globalism. They have taken sovereignty from countries.
• This is definitely a crime. I get the free speech thing, but this isn’t free speech.
• The attack on religion. Globalism needs to eliminate religion so the global government become God.
• Finally, abortion is a religion and it is, literally, satanic.

What a Shock

https://nypost.com/2022/10/24/sacheen-littlefeathers-sisters-claim-she-wasnt-native-american/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow

A verdict is reached in the Darrell Brooks murder trial.

John Fetterman debated Mehmet Oz for Senator of Pennsylvania and it turns out to be a disaster.

And it turns keeping kids out of schools for two years was a bad idea.

A Verdict is Reached!

Darrell Brooks, the 40-year-old Milwaukee man accused of plowing a Ford Escape SUV through a Christmas parade in nearby Waukesha last year, has been found guilty of all charges. Those charges include:

• First degree intentional Homicide – 6 counts.
• First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety – 61
• Hit and Run – 6
• Bail-jumping – 2
• Battery – 1

I watched a lot of this trial and it was just weird.

• Brooks decided to defend himself.
• He was thrown out of the court about seven times.
• He objected to every question.
• He argued that he was being charged by the state so he could not face his accuser.
• He refused to wear his suit.
• At one point, while in another courtroom because he was removed, he started stripping.
• He refused to acknowledge his name.

The next stage will be the penalty phase. There is no death penalty in Wisconsin so he will spend the rest of his life in prison. This is the kind of guy that emphasizes why we need the death penalty.

How is This Even Close?

There were a bunch of debates. The one I did watch was between Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman. I thought this one would be the most entertaining because Fetterman is about as close to a walking vegetable as one can get.

I was right. The debate was entertaining.

Here, Fetterman is being asked about his stance on fracking.

My lord, this may be the saddest moment I've ever seen on a debate stage. pic.twitter.com/4mSKqirry9

— Andrew Surabian (@Surabees) October 26, 2022

Some things:

• This is just a lie. He’s always been against fracking and has said it multiple times.
• Notice the pause? He has an auditory processing issue. He read the question from a monitor and still couldn’t process an answer.
• Does this sound like a guy who should be in the Senate?

Here he is being asked about raising minimum wage to $15.

What?

But it gets better. He was asked about why he was not paying his taxes. Basically because he was living off his rich parents well into his forties. But his none answer is funny.

Yes, I’m making fun of this man’s disability because he’s a jerk.

Got that?

Finally, here’s his closing statement.

This is John Fetterman’s closing statement.

OH. MY. GOOD. LORD. pic.twitter.com/8RVeli6EaT

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) October 26, 2022

That was the most understandable statement he made all night. It was that bad. During the entire campaign, anyone who pointed out that this guy has brain damage and should not be running for Senate is called an ablest. But that performance was so bad, even media can’t dig this guy out.

What’s amazing is this Fetterman has been talking like this every time he speaks and the race is still close. Mehmet Oz is that bad a candidate. I think Oz is going to win, but it is way too close for comfort.

So It Wasn’t a Good Idea

I guess shutting down schools for two years for a modified cold wasn’t a good idea.

According to the Daily Wire:

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is administered to fourth and eighth graders every few years, allowing for a comparison of reading and math proficiency by state between 2019 — just before the pandemic — and 2022. The decline in math scores was the sharpest ever since the test began in 1990, and the average math scores were the lowest since 2005. The average eighth grade reading score was the lowest since 1998.

Some things:

• 43 of the 50 states have had math scores drop.
• The map at the top of this article shows how badly the number of fourth-graders who scored at least “basic” in reading fell compared to before the pandemic in each state.
  • Basic is the lowest of the three tiers — basic, proficient, and advanced — and those who do not have even basic reading skills by fourth grade are at risk of serious problems when it comes to employment and higher education later in life.

Look at the maps for a better understanding.

Everything is Racist!

I was i Mexico this weekend and had some time to read the Washington Post editorial page. Wow, they really went out of their way this weekend. Amber Ferguson wrote an opinion piece called America has a Black sperm donor shortage. Black women are paying the price. I have to say, these people amaze me on what they can call racism.

This is a rather long article but I think you’ll get the idea in short order. Let’s get on with it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/10/20/black-sperm-donors/

Amazingly, a new Illinois law will make Chicago worse.

Apparently keeping kids out of school for two years was a bad idea.

And everything is racist.

Some News

Here’s some news:

• Joe Biden gets another COVID booster. I thinks this makes it 14 or something like that.
• The New York Supreme Court ruled that those who were fired for not getting vaxxed need to be reinstated and will receive backpay.
  • Ouch!
  • 1400 employees were fired in New York City alone.
• Brittany Griner, the WNBA player who brought drugs into Russia and got caught, had her 9 year sentence upheld in Russia. At least she won’t have to listen to the Star Spangled Banner for a decade.
• Something you won’t hear in the mainstream media, a Marco Rubio canvasser was beaten up while working in Hialeah, Florida.
  • Marco Rubio tweeted: “Last night one of our canvassers wearing my T-shirt and a Desantis hat was brutally attacked by 4 animals who told him Republicans weren’t allowed in their neighborhood in #Hialeah #Florida. He suffered internal bleeding, a broken jaw & will need facial reconstructive surgery.”
  • I guess this is another example of all this right-wing violence. By that I mean violence done to the right-wing.

Kamalaism

Poor Karin Jean Pierre had a rough day yesterday.

Here, she is being asked about the border crisis and the 2.4 million people that have crossed:

Reporter: "2.4 million encounters happened at the southern border [in 2022]. That's the most ever…what's the White House's explanation as to what happened and why?

Jean-Pierre: "You have Republican governors using these migrants …as a political pawn. We are hard at work." pic.twitter.com/uEoiuQtZdb

When human being breathe out, we release carbon dioxide which, we have been told, damages the environment. How much damage did Jean Pierre do to the environment with that long winded answer?

She could have saved the minute and forty-five second, and maybe a polar bear or two, by just saying, “We are not going to do anything about it.”

Some things:

• Trump, Trump, Trump.
• The reality, Biden hasn’t created one job. We just got to pre-pandemic levels and the unemployment rate, though good, is still higher than it was under Trump.
• What does Trump’s tax cuts have to do with the question?
• The American Rescue plan was rejected by Republicans because the pandemic was over and blowing $1.4 trillion into the economy would cause inflation. Oh, yeah, it did cause inflation.

Here’s Joe Biden being Joe Biden:

What? Last I heard, a bullet and a round are the same thing. Glad he’s in charge of gun control policy.

Ted Cruz, the Senator from Texas, has released a new book. So he is doing his rounds with the media. One show he went on was The View. This takes balls, but Cruz knows that the combined IQ of The View is like eight.

This clip just shows the hypocrisy of Leftist thought:

Some things:

• Notice, he’s always interrupted. That’s what these people do. They don’t want the message to get out.
• Cruz is telling them that Democrats have been bitching about how the 2016 election was stolen and Whoopie yells, “It was!”
• She doesn’t know what an Antifa riot is? She should just walk through Portland. They are still causing problems.

It’s Going to Get Worse?!

Chicago had fifty shooting this past weekend and a bunch of deaths. Just when you thought that city could not get more dangerous, in comes the state government.

Last year, Gov. JB. Pritzker signed into law the SAFE-T Act (the Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today Act). This bill is the same type of justice reform that is implemented in New York.

Kareem Butler, pretrial justice fellow of the Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts, said of the bill:

“We’d be ending wealth-based jailing and restoring the presumption of innocence in the courtroom, which is something that is really under fire and it is not valued under our current system.”

Some of the things it does:

• Elimination of cash bail.
  • Very vague.
  • This constitutes a narrowly defined “danger standard.”
  • But the bill’s language also appears to enumerate a subset of crimes for which only a risk of flight can be used to deny release. Those crimes include aggravated battery, robbery, burglary, aggravated DUI, kidnapping, vehicular homicide, and all drug offenses.
  • SAFE-T Act has removed the danger standard and precluded judges’ discretion.
  • Either way, the decision to release someone on bail requires a formal hearing within 48 hours of arrest—far too soon for prosecutors to gather the necessary evidence to prove either danger or a risk of flight.
• requirement for police body cameras
  • outlines a complex set of rules for when officers must have bodycams turned on or off. Law-enforcement sources claim that the rules are too convoluted to work on the street, setting up criminal-court challenges over footage that will inevitably be deemed “missing.”
• mandates that detainees be allowed to make three phone calls from each location at which they are held.
  • This is going to be a logistical nightmare.
• Downgrade crimes. For example, trespassing is no longer an arrestable offense. You’d only get a ticket.

Needless to say, law enforcement, judges and prosecutors are pissing on this 800-page bill, but politicians have no idea what they thing. Or just don’t care. This bill was never debated or open to argument from the public. It was presented and voted on almost immediately.

It’s going to become the wild west in states like Illinois, California and New York because people are going to start protecting themselves.

News

Here’s some news:

• The January 6th committee has voted to subpeona Donald Trump to testify.
  • Good luck with this.
  • The committee ordered Trump to produce the sought records by 10 a.m. on November 4, 2022, and ordered him to testify at a deposition on November 14, 2022.
  • They sent a letter to Trump: “As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power.”
  • This thing has no teeth. It’s not going to happen.
  • This is suppose to be their October Surprise.  It’s not all that surprising.
  • The best thing Trump can do is roll his eyes and say nothing.
• Justin Trudeau has decided to freeze handgun sales in Canada.
  • She, I mean he, said: ”

    “We have frozen the market for handguns in this country.”

    “As we see gun violence continue to rise … we have an obligation to take action. Today our national handgun freeze is coming into force.”

    “Our government is taking Canada’s most significant action on gun violence in a generation. We made a commitment to Canadians that we would act — and we are. The national freeze will tackle the alarming role of handguns in crime, gender-based violence, and more.”

  • Or he’s just a tyrant and wants to be the dictator of Canada.
  • Watch this closely. It will be attempted here. Luckily, we have a Constitution.
  • More on Canada later. They really are going head over heels nuts.

That’s what happened in Plano, Texas.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called for prosecution over a sexually explicit drag performance in front of at least one young child in exclusive comments to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

This is nothing short of sexual abuse. If this guy had done this outside to a little kid, he would be in jail. Everyone should be prosecuted here, even the parents that allowed their kids to see this crap.

• Finally, Xi Jinping has won his third term as President of China, which means he has appointed himself dictator.
  • To celebrate, he had his predessessor, Hu Jintao, hauled out of a Communist China celebration with no explanation in fron of all the cameras to see.
  • Though there was no explanation it is obvious Jintao was not thrilled with Xi and may have said smething to the press, but that’s just speculation.
  • We can expect never to see Jintao again. He’ll be shot with a missile or eaten by dogs or something.
  • The Chinese are our biggest threat. Forget the Russians.

Kamalaism

I would say this is a Kamalaism, but this is too sad and happening to someone who is too important.

Joe Biden’s brain has short-circuited before. He shakes hands with no one, walks in the wrong directions, goes off on tangents. But, when he is in a one-on-one interview, and has one of these brain reboots, it’s time to do something. Especially when the interviewer has to snap him out of it.

Listen:

WATCH: Joe Biden hints that Jill is not keen on him running again in 2024:

"It's my intention to run again."

HOST: "Dr. Biden is for it? Mr. President?"

— TV News Now (@TVNewsNow) October 22, 2022

It looks worse than it sounds.

I know this is going to be answered today as Joe was trying to craft and answer, but one could tell, this was edited to make the brain freeze appear like he came out of it instantly. He didn’t. He had no idea who Dr. Biden was. Hint: it’s his wife and she isn’t a real doctor.

Republicans are calling for a cognitive test. Republicans are threatening to make a cognitive required for the President, and all future President, as part of law when thewin the House and Senate in November. By the way, Republicans are going to win the House and have a 50-50 chance to win the Senate. That’s up from only having a 35% chance last month.

This should be the first thing they do when they take over in January. Of course, as I’ve said a hundred times, it won’t matter. Biden is going to pardon his son and resign by then.

Calling it!

Toughen Up, Buttercup!

According to Fox News:

The New York University professor who was fired from his job after students complained that his class was too hard is now speaking out and saying that colleges need to “apply a little tough love” to students.

Maitland Jones Jr., 84, a former chemistry professor at New York University, was fired from the university in August following a petition from students complaining that his course was too hard.

The petition said:

“We are very concerned about our scores, and find that they are not an accurate reflection of the time and effort put into this class.”

“We urge you to realize… that a class with such a high percentage of withdrawals and low grades has failed to make students’ learning and well-being a priority and reflects poorly on the chemistry department as well as the institution as a whole.”

Here are some things about this whole case:

• This professor is 84 years old.
• He held tenure and an endowed chair at Princeton University.
• He was the head of research at Princeton!
• He developed a teaching regimin and plan that was accepted by Princeton staff and certified by Princeton students!
• He took that same plan to New York University and the children there couldn’t handle it.

This guy is retired and doesn’t care. It’s not going to hurt his reputation at all. He was doing New York University a favor. He wrote and op-ed for the New York Times. This what he said:

“They weren’t coming to class, that’s for sure, because I can count the house. They weren’t watching the videos, and they weren’t able to answer the questions.

“Critically, the growing number of administrators, major and minor, who are often without any expertise in a given subject matter, need to learn to stand back from purely academic matters and to support the faculty,” Jones said. “Deans must learn to not coddle students for the sake of tuition and apply a little tough love. They must join the community in times of conflict to generate those teachable moments.

“Even before COVID-19 disrupted classrooms, there were signs of trouble. I came to New York University in 2007 after 43 years of teaching and research at Princeton, where I had both tenure and an endowed chair. I wanted to see if the technique I had introduced at Princeton, in which the talking-head lecture was deemphasized in favor of small-group problem solving, was transferable to another university.

“All went well at first as students prospered in the problem-solving setting and younger faculty began to adopt it. But about 10 years ago, I noticed that students were increasingly misreading exam questions.

“Exams that should have yielded a B average dropped to C- or worse. Single digit scores became common and we even had zeros on exams, something that had never happened before. In his opinion piece, Malesic speculates on causes (screen time, COVID-induced remote “learning”) and suggests that we do no one a favor by continuing to dumb down our courses. I completely agree, although I must admit that I was guilty of some grade inflation.”

Let’s make something clear, chemistry sucks. It is hard. It is objectively hard. It takes a lot of work and one needs talent for it. I suck at chemistry and that’s a good thing that I realize it. Do you want me to be your doctor, prescribing you drugs when I don’t know how they are going to affect you because I don’t know the chemistry? Do you want me designing drugs when I feel this chemical combination should work but don’t reasonably know?

New York University should have told these children to f-off. Better yeat, tell these students they’re not kids and start putting more effort into their work.

This is what happens when feeling are more important than reality.

Some Great News

This is awesome because it fits into a podcast we talked about last week.

According to the New York Post:

Nouriel Roubini is seriously reconsidering whether he wants to continue living in New York. Mostly because, well, he wants to survive.

“There’s a scenario in which, in the next twelve months, Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine and then they attack NATO and we start a conventional war with Russia. The first nuclear weapon is gonna go to New York,” said the 64-year-old NYU economics professor and CEO of Roubini Macro Associates. “Being in New York City is not safe.”

Wow, what a coincidence. He’s from New York University too but they celebrate this guy.

Even if Manhattan manages to avoid nuclear annihilation, there’s still the possibility of a natural disaster, like Hurricane Sandy that flooded New York in 2012, but “much, much worse,” Roubini told The Post. ”In the next 20 years, most of downtown New York is gonna be underwater.”

A recent $52 billion proposal from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which promises to build sea barriers to protect the city from another storm surge, are impractical, he added, because “Who’s gonna pay for that? They don’t even know if it’s gonna work. It’ll take twenty-five years to build and even if we save Manhattan, all of the Jersey Shore and Long Island will get flooded because that water needs to go somewhere.”

Ugh, haven’t we heard this crap before? I wonder if he has any morivation?

You don’t have to talk with Roubini for very long to realize why he earned the nickname “Dr. Doom” — a moniker that, along with his Page Six reputation for partying with models at hot-tub soirées, has always given him a sort of supervillain sheen.

He first came to prominence 16 years ago, correctly predicting the collapse of the housing market and the emergence of a worldwide recession. And now he’s back with a new book, “MegaThreats: Ten Dangerous Trends That Imperil Our Future, And How to Survive Them” (Little, Brown), which doubles down on his grim forecasts.

Done with the article. This guy does this crap to sell books, keep tenured and get laid. But New York University wants to get rid of an 84-year-old chemistry professor who tested his teaching method for 43 years at Princetoon University.

I’m pretty sure this is toxic masculinity.

Good job, New York University.

Something Else We Need to Give Up

To save the world from climate change, the Left has said:

• We are not allowed to travel.
• We are not allowed to have art work.
• We’re not allowed to drive.
• We can’t eat meat. We need to eat bugs.
• We can’t have capitalism.
• We can’t be white, straight or rich.
• We can’t have heat.
• We can’t have light.
• We can’t have air conditioning.
• Can’t have refrigerators, microwave, stoves or ovens.
• Or we will all die in 10 years…again.

Sigh, according to Fox News:

A CNN climate piece arguing that pets and their “meat-heavy diet” are major contributors to climate change was shared online this week. 

The piece offered ways that owners can reduce their beloved animals’ “carbon pawprint.”

It suggested pet owners re-assess their pet’s diet, offering “lab-grown meat” and “insect-based pet foods” as a potential option for them. The article also recommended making sure that pet products, such as leashes, bags, toys and bowls are recyclable, and also advised that potential owners maybe adopt smaller breeds to minimize climate impact.

OK, I’ve heard this crap before. We all fart and, therefore, are contribuating to climate change. We fart because we eat meat. Of course, cows fart and they don’t eat mean. But I’m getting ahead of myself. So we need to eat grass, bugs and trees and we will all stop farting. Of course trees and grass fart so we are eating what is saving our environment. But they don’t talk about that.

Let’s forget about the fact that dogs and cats are carnvores and require meat to survive. they don’t want to talk about that.

Bugs do not offer the protein we need to survive and, most of the time, can be toxic because they contain enzymes that are poisonous, but we won’t talk about that.

But, what I do want to talk about, what are we going to do with all those animals that are f-ing up our environment. All those cows, chickens, pigs, cats and dogs that are farting. Though they don’t want to talk about this, what do we do with them? Kill them? (slippery slope falicy).

Hey, while we are at it, what about the lions and tiger, and bears. They all eat meat and fart. Do we kill them. (Slippery slope falicy).

What about those f-ing polar bears who Al Gore said proved global warming, then climate change, then the climate crisis? They only eat meat (not a lot of soy in the north pole), do we nuke them? (Slippery slope falicy).

Who determines what s a dog that is too big? Who determines what pet is acceptable?

This is all crap. It’s about control. Well, f-you. I’ll keep my German Sheperd and you can go suck a rock. And he’s going to eat the food he needs to which is a meat-based food.

As the election approaches and the Democrats look to get trounced, Democrats pull out an old subject to use as their platform.

Eric Swalwell, the guy who likes screwing Chinese spies, releases a horrid campaign ad.

And a study finds our military ain’t doing so good.

Kamalaism

Democrats look like they are going to get pummeled in November. They are saying anything to try to convince people what is important and that things just aren’t that bad.

Here’s Karin Jean Pierre saying that people are now saving money compared to June of 2022:

KJP: "Every month, the typical 2-driver family saves about $120 at the pump compared to where we were in mid-June. Everyday Americans save about $420 Million at the pump." pic.twitter.com/XFcKzxyPYv

God, she’s bad.

• I’m not sure why the media accepts that the administration changes the standard to June of 2022.
  • Sure gas has gone down since June but it’s still up by $1.50 since Biden took office.
  • That should be the standard.
• He is also looking to buy millions of barrels of oil to refill the oil reserves which is down 50% since he took office.
• Biden also released another 15 million barrels of oil today because gas prices still remain incredibly high.

Another problem the Democrats are having is finding a platform. They can’t use the economy, foreign policy, crime, the border, homelessness or drug use. All they have is all Republicans are fascists and abortion. And they push this at every point.

Here’s Stacey Abrams, whose running for governor in Georgia and is going to get her ass kicked, talking about how abortion will lower inflation.

.@staceyabrams says abortion can help address inflation issues: "Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas, it’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs. For women, this is not a reductive issue." pic.twitter.com/BNHJWqKRpa

Wow.

Some things:

• This is simply evil.
• The reason she says abortion will lower inflation is because they have no idea how to lower inflation.
• But abortion has to be their platform. They have nothing else.

Yawn

In order to push the abortion platform as the the main platform for Democrats, Eric Swalwell released a video of a woman being arrested because she had an abortion. It is just an awful commercial and is the definition of gaslighting. Here it is:

MAGA Republicans want women arrested for having an abortion. This is what that looks like. #LockHerUp pic.twitter.com/YUD0swW8DE

— Eric Swalwell (@ericswalwell) October 18, 2022

Some things:

• First off, this guy is from California.
  • California is not going to outlaw abortion.
  • California is expanding abortion, according to some interpretations of the law, up to 30 days after the child is born.
  • California is trying to push laws to pay for abortions for people out of state.
• No one is going after the women who have abortions. They are going after the doctors.
• No one is going after women who get an abortion out of state. That’s unconstitutional.
• This is pure gaslighting. Pure hyperbolae. But what can we expect from a guy who was screwing a Chinese spy for years.

Here’s the reality that Swalwell and Abrams don’t understand: No one cares about abortion except the far Left. Only 5% of those interviewed said it was their top issue. The economy, gas prices and crime are the top issues which the Democrats don’t want to address and those issues are way ahead of abortion.

This What Going Woke Gets You

This should put some fear into all of us.

According to the Daily Wire:

The Heritage Foundation’s Index of U.S. Military Strength assessed a wide range of areas, including threats to the U.S., the condition of the U.S. military, U.S. alliances, and more.

The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board noted that the assessment’s “weak” rating of the U.S. military was the first time it has ever received the score in the index’s nine-year history.

While the assessment found that the global operating environment from the U.S. perspective was largely favorable across the board, threats to the U.S. are rapidly increasing, with numerous nations posing a “high” threat against U.S. interests. The chief threats come from China and Russia, with Iran, North Korea, and others lagging behind.

Does the world seem more stable or less stable than it was before Biden took office? Should we keep up our military a little better at this moment? Well, we are not and we keep shipping our weapons to Ukraine.

Here is what the study finds:

• U.S. Army — “Marginal”
  • “The Army is aging faster than it is modernizing. It remains ‘weak’ in capacity with only 62 percent of the force it should have. However, 25 of its 31 Regular Army BCTs are at the highest state of readiness, thus earning a readiness score of ‘very strong’ and conveying the sense that the service knows what it needs to do to prepare for the next major conflict.”
• U.S. Navy — “Weak”
  • “This worrisome score, a drop from ‘marginal’ assessed in the 2022 Index, is driven by problems in capacity (‘very weak’) and readiness (‘weak’). This Index assesses that the Navy needs a battle force of 400 manned ships to do what is expected of it today. The Navy’s current battle force fleet of 298 ships and intensified operational tempo combine to reveal a service that is much too small relative to its tasks.”
• U.S. Air Force — “Very Weak”
  • “The Air Force has been downgraded once again, the second time in the past two years. The Air Force was assessed as ‘marginal’ in the 2021 Index but, with public reporting of the mission readiness and physical location of combat aircraft implying that it would have a difficult time responding rapidly to a crisis, fell to a score of ‘weak’ in the 2022 Index. During FY 2022, the year assessed for this Index, problems with pilot production and retention, an extraordinarily small amount of time in the cockpit for pilots, and a fleet of aircraft that continues to age compounded challenges even more, leading to the current score of ‘very weak.’”
• U.S. Marine Corps — “Strong”
  • “The score for the Marine Corps was raised to ‘strong’ from ‘marginal’ in the 2022 Index and remains ‘strong’ in this edition for two reasons: (1) because the 2021 Index changed the threshold for capacity, lowering it from 36 infantry battalions to 30 battalions in acknowledgment of the Corps’ argument that it is a one-war force that also stands ready for a broad range of smaller crisis-response tasks, and (2) because of the Corps’ extraordinary, sustained efforts to modernize (which improves capability) and enhance its readiness during the assessed year. Of the five services, the Corps is the only one that has a compelling story for change, has a credible and practical plan for change, and is effectively implementing its plan to change.”
  • I do want to point out the Marines never bought into any of this woke crap.
• U.S. Space Force — “Weak”
  • “The mission sets, space assets, and personnel that have transitioned to the Space Force from the other services since its establishment in December 2019 and that have been added over the past two years have enabled the service to sustain its support to the Joint Force. However, there is little evidence that the USSF has improved its readiness to provide nearly real-time support to operational and tactical levels of force operations or that it is ready in any way to execute defensive and offensive counterspace operations to the degree envisioned by Congress when it authorized the creation of the Space Force.”
• U.S. Nuclear Capabilities — “Strong”
  • “The scoring for U.S. nuclear weapons must be considered in the context of a threat environment that is significantly more dangerous than it was in previous years. Until recently, U.S. nuclear forces needed to address one nuclear peer rather than two. Given senior leaders’ reassurances with respect to the readiness and reliability of U.S. nuclear forces, as well as the strong bipartisan commitment to modernization of the entire nuclear enterprise, this year’s Index retains its grade of ‘strong,’ but only for now. U.S. nuclear forces face many risks that, without a continued commitment to a strong deterrent, could warrant a decline to an overall score of ‘marginal’ or ‘weak.’”
