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

California has become a sanctuary of evil.

Gavin Newsom of California needs to learn a book.

And the assault on art and history continues.

Tragedy

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

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

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

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

That Didn’t Take Long

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

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

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

But it wasn’t just old Joe.

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

Jamele Hill tweeted:

Mark Ruffalo tweeted:

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

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

An Act of Evil

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

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

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

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

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

The state’s council stated:

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

Here is their plan:

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

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

And I have no say about it.

By the way, the state has no solutions for:

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

Time to leave this state.

Um, That’s Illegal

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

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

He released a statement:

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

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

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

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

War on Art

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

Destroying History

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

According to the Daily Wire:

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

According to Jefferson School’s executive director Andrea Douglas

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

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

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

Going Woke

The 900 year old Notre Dame Cathedral cannot escape wokeness.

According to the Daily Wire:

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

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

Some things:

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

The woke need to destroy history and religion.

They’re Missing the Point

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Juicy Smollett might be going to prison.

More bad news for Joe Biden.

And the China virus is never going away.

News

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

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

Going Up and Up and Up!

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

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

The Wall Street Journal reported:

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

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

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

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

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

So, there you go. Merry Christmas!

More China Virus News

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

Harsher?

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

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

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

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

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

According to the Daily Wire:

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

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

Portland, OR

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

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

One distraught parent contacted the media and stated:

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

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

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

When Is He Going Away

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

Dr. Fauci is at it again:

Dr. Fauci says it's "a matter of when, not if" the definition of 'fully vaccinated' changes pic.twitter.com/O1BATviAoG

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) December 8, 2021

Let’s see:

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

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

But that might have changed already.

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

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

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

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

I’m a big anti-abortion guy and abortion is on the docket of the Supreme Court. Let’s talk about what is on the line here.

News

We have a lot to talk with the Supreme Court case but there is so much news that we can’t skip it. So let’s do a quick look at the news.

• Remember, last week, Biden released 50 million gallons of oil from the reserve? Yeah, well gas went down $.02 and the Democrats are celebrating that. Of course, gas at my station down the street went up $.10 so I’m not really sure what they are talking about.
• The November jobs report is out and it is horribly disappointing…again. There were 210,000 jobs created. The Dow expected 573,000 jobs so less than half have been created. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2%. That’s good but let’s not forget a couple of things:
  • We have to remember the Trump’s economy before the pandemic was at 3.4%.
  • The long term unemployed and the people who have just left the work force is going up which will affect the unemployment rate.
• An English professor, Christopher Trogan, from Fordham University, was fired because he confused the names to two black, female students in his class.
  • The two wrote him an E-mail saying they felt “disheartened and disrespected” and they believed it happened because they were black.
  • Trogan claimed it was an honest mistake. Trogan emailed the students back and claimed he was “centered specifically and explicitly around issues of justice, equality, and inclusion.”
  • Trogan then went into details about his credentials, and commented on “everything he has done for minorities.”
  • That was overkill. As one of the students involved told The Observer, “It seemed a little excessive, like all you needed to do was say sorry and it would have been fine. We were not actually that upset about him mixing up our names. It was more so the random things he would throw into the response.”
  • The students agreed that Trogan was giving off the vibe of a “white savior complex,” which he appeared to seal by offering to give up his job if the students felt they had been discriminated against, and inviting them to file a grievance to his superiors.
  • “Depending on your response,” he wrote in the email, “I may — or may not — be your professor in class next week. It’s all up to you.”
  • Two days later Fordham’s administration suspended him. A month later, he was unemployed.

New York Professor Mixes Up Two Black Students, Gets Fired For Defending Himself By Promoting His Woke Credentials

Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health

The Case

Let’s go over what this case is all about. It is a little confusing especially what could happen. I had to do a ton to figure it out myself. I know everyone is talking about Roe versus Wade but it’s not only about that. It also deals with Planned Parenthood versus Casey. Of course, this whole thing started with a law in Mississippi the limits abortion to before 15 weeks.

The ruling is going to make changes to either one of both of the previous precedence, throw out one or both of the precedence or throw out the Mississippi law. Let’s look at these precedents.

Roe versus Wade federally legalized abortion based on the woman’s “right to privacy” based on the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. It based legalized abortion to the second trimester of pregnancy.

There are some real problems with this case:

• Here is Section 1 of the XIV Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
  • Do you see what’s missing here? The word privacy. In fact, the word privacy is not used in the entire Constitution. The word “privacy” was shaped in another precedent from the 1950’s.
  • The key word used here that the pro-abortion argument uses is “liberty”. This is important during the Supreme Court debate.
• Viability is not mentioned here at all. That’s because no one was sure of the viability of the fetus and the Court admits that.
  • We did know about the viability of the fetus with the discovery of the test tube baby in 1980 which should have made this precedent obsolete.
  • This is why the pro-abortionists were afraid the precedent would be overturned and wanted to make the Equal Rights Amendment and Amendment to the Constitution.

Planned Parenthood versus Casey case arose from a challenge to 5 provisions of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982; among the provisions were requirements for a waiting period, spousal notice, and (for minors) parental consent prior to undergoing an abortion procedure. Basically, it took away the states right to make any restrictions on abortion.

It also rid the trimester system from Roe versus Wade and switched to the 40-week system. This time, viability of the fetus was determined to be 24 weeks.

There are huge problems with this law:

• It takes away states’ right to put limits on abortion. It federalizes the law. This is unconstitutional!
• It creates limits. In other words, it is creating law! That’s not the Supreme Court’s job. Abortion is not in the Constitution!
• The viability standard is still very subjective. The 24-week standard is not from science, it’s just some randomly picked number. We have had babies that have survived at 20 weeks.

Here’s the problem pro-abortionists have: Their precedents are build on sand. Roe v. Wade was always weak and everyone knows it. Even pro-abortionists know it. Planned Parenthood v. Casey tried to strengthen Roe v. Wade but it’s very weak. The reason is both create something that is not in the Constitution (they create laws) and not based on any science.

The Mississippi law does not attack Roe v. Wade directly but goes after Casey. It attacks the 24-week viability standard of Casey and the state’s ability to determine viability. All Mississippi has to prove is that a fetus is a human being, which is science, or, at least, prove that the fetus is a human being at 15 weeks. Hearing the arguments on Wednesday, they did that.

CNN says ciao bella to Chris Cuomo.

Joe Biden gets kicked in the teeth again over his vax mandates.

And abortion is under the microscope of the Supreme Court.

Ciao, Bella

Chris Cuomo is out at CNN.

It was discovered that Chris Cuomo had used his media contacts to get information about his governor brother, Andrew Cuomo, on his sexual harassment victims. CNN couldn’t ignore this like they did for the last year. They finally suspended him indefinitely.

This is a big problem for CNN. Chris Cuomo’s show was the highest rated show on CNN. Now, that isn’t saying much. The Fox News show at 5 AM has higher rating than Chris Cuomo’s show. Heck, there are two HLN shows that are beating CNN’s top rated show. Don Lemon’s show is so in the tank, Chris Cuomo spent the first fifteen minutes of Lemon’s show joking around with Lemon to stop people from changing the channel. So what is CNN going to do.

I want you to remember one thing: Jeffry Toobin. Yes, the guy who was caught jerking off on a CNN Zoom call involving the 2020 elections. He, too, was indefinitely suspended. Now, Toobin is back on CNN, albeit at a distance from any other panel member. Call me cynical, but I see this being a bit of a publicity stunt. I think he might be off air for a month and then CNN will unsuspend him and they will celebrate the return of Chris Cuomo.

Here’s the thing, Chris Cuomo should have been fired. Not because he helped his brother, but because he’s an idiot and a liar. He lied about his brother. So it shouldn’t be a surprise they fired him. What’s a surprise is CNN hasn’t fired their entire lineup. They’re highest rated show is ranked around 25. This station needs to fix themselves and firing everyone is a good way to start.

Another L!

A federal judge in Louisiana blocked Democrat President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for health care workers on Tuesday, issuing a nationwide injunction on Biden’s order.

Louisiana Western District U.S. Judge Terry Doughty wrote:

“If the separation of powers meant anything to the Constitutional framers, it meant that the three necessary ingredients to deprive a person of liberty or property – the power to make rules, to enforce them, and to judge their violations – could never fall into the same hands. If the executive branch is allowed to usurp the power of the legislative branch to make laws, two of the three powers conferred by our Constitution would be in the same hands. If human nature and history teach anything, it is that civil liberties face grave risks when governments proclaim indefinite states of emergency.”

Yes, yes! This is why the Biden administration thinks this is unconstitutional. This is exactly why we have a House, a Senate, a President and a Supreme Court. So one person doesn’t control everything. That’s how tyranny grows.

“During a pandemic such as this one, it is even more important to safeguard the separation of powers set forth in our Constitution to avoid erosion of our liberties. Because the Plaintiff States have satisfied all four elements required for a preliminary injunction to issue, this Court has determined that a preliminary injunction should issue against the Government Defendants. This matter will ultimately be decided by a higher court than this one. However, it is important to preserve the status quo in this case. The liberty interests of the unvaccinated requires nothing less.

This is why the Left are making the unvaccinated evil. Because the Left cannot win through Congress or the courts. No one buys their crap. They have to fight this through the court public opinion.

Guess what? They’re losing there too.

Listen, I love the vaccine. I took them both and I was glad to have them. I will not take the booster next month because I had a rather uncomfortable reaction and I want to see more. I’m not saying I won’t take it. But there are two reason I am not interested in getting a booster at this time:

• There are no studies on B or T-cell immunity for the vaccines. It is possible I am safe from dying from COVID because my body knows how to fight it because of the vaccines.
• I am still moderately young and healthy. I would rather catch the damn thing, suffer for a couple of days and have natural immunity before I get older and then compromised. This disease isn’t going away. It’s endemic and will always be here.
• I think there is a high chance I’ve already had it. Maybe if we did more antibody testing instead of nose swabs, we’d know where we really stand in this country.
• I don’t want to take boosters for the rest of my life.

“Therefore, the scope of this injunction will be nationwide, except for the states of Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, since these ten states are already under a preliminary injunction order dated November 29, 2021, out of the Eastern District of Missouri. This preliminary injunction shall remain in effect pending the final resolution of this case, or until further orders from this Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, or the United States Supreme Court.”

Biden has been skunked on his vaccine mandates:

• His mandate for private industry has been blocked.
• His mandate for the healthcare industry has been blocked.
• His mandate for the military has been fought against and pretty much blocked, especially by the Marines and Navy.
• The unions refuse to take the vaccine.

Well, he’s decided to go in a different direction. On Thursday he’s going to announce new restrictions for those entering and leaving the United States, including for American citizens.

• A person entering the country must have a negative test one day before entering the country. If positive, no entry.
• A person must quarantine for seven days after entering the country even with a negative test.
• Anyone violating the order is subject to fines.

This is beginning to sound more like Australia than the United States.

Opinion

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will weigh in on Mississippi’s controversial anti-abortion law that bans abortion past 15 weeks. This decision could overturn Roe versus Wade making abortion an issue of the state. Of course, because the Left treats abortion as a religious ritual, the news media is throwing all their attention to it.

Here is an opinion article from the Washington Post. It is called If the Supreme Court throws out ‘Roe v. Wade,’ it will tear the country apart by Eugene Robinson. I found it interesting because I thought it was the most honest and it brought up the fact that there is 50% of the population that thinks abortion is wrong. It doesn’t demonize anti-abortionists unlike the other articles I read.

Congress has another cat fight on its hands.

Wikipedia is just proving that it’s not a real resource for information.

And CANCELLED!

News

Here is some quick news stories:

• Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, will be stepping down as CEO.
  • It is unclear whether he is stepping down or being forced out. The latter is more likely.
  • Parag Agrawal, the company’s Chief Technology Officer, would be starting as CEO immediately, and that Dorsey would continue to serve on the Twitter board through to the end of his term this coming spring to “help Parag and Bret with the transition.”
  • Expect things to change? I do. I expect things to get worse.
    • Agrawal has said that free speech should not be something Twitter should concentrate on.
    • Just today, they have announced some changes on that people can do on Twitter for privacy concerns.
• Actor Matthew McConaughey announced on Sunday that he will not run to be the next governor of Texas, a decision that came despite a push from left-wing media for the actor to challenge Republican Governor Greg Abbott.
  • That’s good because he would’ve gotten his ass kicked.
  • He is a Leftist. He wants to ban the Second Amendment.
  • He praises Beto O’Rourke
  • He’s a good actor. Just keep doing that.

The New Plan

They have 10 months and the Democrats are going to do anything to get Republicans off of committees. Their sights are now on Lauren Boebert.

Just a little reminder: during the Paul Gosar censure a week ago, Lauren went off. It was an outstanding showing and raised her visibility. Hell, I never heard of her before that speech.

Well, she had a rally at, what looked like, a western bar and she made a joke. Here it is:

Over the Thanksgiving break, Lauren Boebert said she was recently in a Capitol elevator with Ilhan Omar when a fretful Capitol police officer ran up.

Lauren Boebert said: “Well, she doesn’t have a backpack. We should be fine.”

Boebert then called Ilhan Omar, “jihad squad.” pic.twitter.com/Y7f0nFbnud

— PatriotTakes ?? (@patriottakes) November 25, 2021

Couple of things:

• She looks great in black jeans.
• She has a great body and is very sexy for a representative in Congress.
• No woman should ever wear high heels with jeans.
• And the joke was funny.

Omar got upset about something that’s true and started throwing a fit. Then, Boebert made a big mistake. She apologized. Why, in God’s name, did she do that? This never works. It admits guilt over something that is not a mistake or a crime. It was a joke.

Ilhan Omar, on the other hand, has done some very bad things:

• She dismissed the 9/11 terrorist attack saying “some people did some things”.
• She wrote a letter saying that several men trying to join ISIS should not be prosecuted because they’re poor.
• She dismissed the danger of Al Qaeda in an interview because she took a terrorism class in college.
• She’s a rabid anti-Semite.
• She married her brother to commit get him into the country.
• Then she married her second husband without getting a divorce. This led to tax issues.
• She had an affair with a campaign staffer and lied about it.
• She then got a divorce and married the staffer.
• Now, theoretically, she’s being investigated for giving a couple of million dollars in campaign funds to her current husband’s company.

There’s enough to joke about her. She has enough sympathies for terrorists to make that joke funny because it’s true.

Anyway, Boebert calls Ilhan Omar to personally apologize and Omar demands a public apology. Of course she does. She and the other Democrats her to admit guilt in public so they can censure her just like they did Paul Gosar over that stupid video. She refused to do it and Omar hung up on her.

Later, Omar tweeted her thoughts because that’s what you do today:

I’m sorry. It was a joke. It was funny.

They’re going to try to censure her and they’re going to succeed. They’re going to pull her off all her committees. The Dems want to strip Republicans of all power. You know it because she will be the third Republican removed from committees this year.

I hope Kevin McCarthy has balls. I hope he does the same thing next year. I hope he gets rid of Maxine Waters, Eric Swallwell, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes, Rashida Tlaib, Cory Bush, Ayanna Pressley and, of course, Ilhan Omar.

He’s going to gain 40 to 50 seats next year. He’s going to be able to do it.

Changing History

This is an amazing story because it is so obvious that the Left is trying to change history.

According to The Telegraph:

A Wikipedia entry detailing “mass killings under Communist regimes” faces being purged from the platform over fears about bias.

The page outlining the deaths of millions in one-party states including the Soviet Union and China has been flagged for deletion, with some users responsible for maintaining the site taking issue with blaming mass murder on Communist ideology.

The dedicated entry listing the actions of figures like Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong Il has been accused of putting forward a biased “anti-Communist” point of view, and site administrators will decide whether it should be removed.

The future of a page titled “Anti-communist mass killings” is not in doubt, however, as the entry outlining occasions on which Communists have been killed under other political systems has not been flagged over concerns about neutrality.

It’s funny that they won’t remove non-communist countries that had genocide like Nazi Germany. I think that’s funny because Nazi Germany was pretty much the same government and economy as countries like the Soviet Union and China. The Nazis were socialists. It’s in the name (National Socialist German Workers’ Party).

Let’s understand something about Wikipedia: it is not considered a encyclopedic site. The information is added by users and many of it isn’t confirmed. It is not considered a reliable source by colleges. But, like the tearing down of statues, this is their attempt to change history to, not only making communism more palatable, but also excuse the sins of communism today. An example of that are the atrocities being committed in China, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba.

CANCELLED!!

Time to go over a couple of things being cancelled by the Left.

The Simpsons

According to the Hollywood reporter:

Disney+ users in Hong Kong have noticed an episode of The Simpsons is conspicuously missing.

The 16th season of the iconic Fox animated show jumps from episode 11 to 13 when viewers in the city browse the flagship Disney streaming service. The missing episode 12, first broadcast in 2005, happens to be the one where Homer takes his family to China, where they visit Tiananmen Square and come across a placard that reads: “On this site, in 1989, nothing happened.”

It appears the episode has suffered precisely the kind of censorship it was written to ridicule.

Here’s the screenshot of the offending sign:

Walt Disney is turning in his grave. This is not how his company was to become.

Bowing to China is not only disgusting but it shows how China’s totalitarianism is affecting our culture. They have a say, through these companies, on what we see.

Just wait. That episode will soon disappear in this country.

Don’t They Have More Important Things To Do

The Camden School District in New Jersey has a Change.org petition to rename the Woodrow Wilson High School because Woodrow Wilson was a racist.

According to the petition:

After years of examining the legacy of former US President Woodrow Wilson, WE have come to see that his views and actions contradict the values and diversity We see in Woodrow Wilson High School today as well as the society WE live in Camden NJ.  

 These values We hold today are to be respected at the highest standard in regards to fair treatment of All individuals, and our aspirations to continue to be an educating, diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community in the City of Camden NJ it is only right in Our Eyes to right the wrongs that have plagued Us in Our oppressed society.

Then the petition goes through some evidence that Woodrow Wilson was a racist. It concludes:

… this conflicts with the values and aspirations of our times today as We see it but WE encourage each Of The elected Members named here in this Petition to embrace the coeducational, multi-racial, multi-ethnic, diverse and inclusive composition and ideals of our community today and they can do so by removing Woodrow Wilsons Name.

Woodrow Wilson was a racist. He was also a eugenicist. He as a terrible person. He was also a crappy President. I wouldn’t name a school after him. But he was also a professor, president of Princeton University, a governor of New Jersey and a two term President of the United States. He was a success and part of our history. Should he be banned?

I don’t like him. I understand why they want to change the name. I just find it ironic that the people who want to change the name have all the same beliefs that Woodrow Wilson had.

Here we go again. A new variant. I guess it’s time for us to run around like chickens with our heads cut off.

It might be time to stop wearing Levi’s.

And the Left is showing the contempt for the Constitution and no one is paying any attention. So I will.

Here We Go Again

I’m telling you, this is never going to end. A new variant of COVID-19 has been discovered.

The Variant

A new variant of the China virus has been found in South Africa earlier this month. I have looked up this variant and here is some of the information I got from the World Health Organization (China for short):

• The TAG-VE was convened on 26 November 2021 to assess the SARS-CoV-2 variant: B.1.1.529.
• It was first reported to WHO from South Africa on 24 November 2021.
• Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs.
• Current SARS-CoV-2 PCR diagnostics continue to detect this variant.
• As such, countries are asked to do the following:
  • enhance surveillance and sequencing efforts to better understand circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
  • submit complete genome sequences and associated metadata to a publicly available database, such as GISAID.
  • report initial cases/clusters associated with VOC infection to WHO through the IHR mechanism.
  • where capacity exists and in coordination with the international community, perform field investigations and laboratory assessments to improve understanding of the potential impacts of the VOC on COVID-19 epidemiology, severity, effectiveness of public health and social measures, diagnostic methods, immune responses, antibody neutralization, or other relevant characteristics.
• Individuals are reminded to take measures to reduce their risk of COVID-19, including proven public health and social measures such as wearing well-fitting masks, hand hygiene, physical distancing, improving ventilation of indoor spaces, avoiding crowded spaces, and getting vaccinated.
• They included to references to follow. Both references are for following the rules of the previous variants.

What do we know about this variant. Nothing. The WHO has nothing new about it except, like Delta, you can catch it if you’re vaccinated or have been infected with an earlier variant. They do not even know how dangerous it is or how infectious it is.

https://www.who.int/news/item/26-11-2021-classification-of-omicron-(b.1.1.529)-sars-cov-2-variant-of-concern

But She Knows

Dr. Angelique Coetzee, a board member of the South African Medical Association, first noticed otherwise healthy patients demonstrating unusual symptoms on Nov. 18. She saw that it was the China virus but it did not behave in the same way as the previous variants so she alerted the WHO.

But she does have some interesting tidbits of information.

NEW: From Reuters?

South African Doctor:

"Looking at the the mildness of the symptoms, there is no reason for panicking, as we don't see severely ill patients"

"The hype that's been created out there in the media & worldwide doesn't correlate with the clinical picture" pic.twitter.com/g7tSas0qqK

— Rosie's Virus Branding Crisis (@DarnelSugarfoo) November 28, 2021

In other words, people have a mild case of the flu. By the way, as the virus matures, it is going to become less deadly. The virus is designed that way. It’s designed to spread, not kill. It wants people to survive so it can spread to other organisms. Just about all viruses do this.

She continues with a warning (which is what doctors are suppose to do):

“What we have to worry about now is that when older, unvaccinated people are infected with the new variant, and if they are not vaccinated, we are going to see many people with a severe [form of the] disease.”

Well, duh! We know that people who are not vaccinated may experience harsher symptoms. The hospitals are not being overrun. There isn’t a huge uptick in cases.

Here’s what I think is happening and it’s going to happen for the rest of time. This virus is going to mutate, just like the flu. All the previous variants are going to run through the population or people are going to get the vaccines (which we still aren’t sure of). Each new variant is going to become weaker and the population is going to become less susceptible to the disease.

In two years, it’s going to be another version of the flu. End of story.

Let the Overreaction Begin

“Never let a good crisis go to waste,” said Obama progressive Rahm Emmanuel.

The Left has re-invented Emmanuel’s quote:

“Make a non-crisis into a crisis so we can never let a crisis go to waste.”

The Leftists are going off.

Joe Biden made a statement while vacationing, again, in a billionaire’s home in Nantucket:

“We don’t know a lot about the variant, except that it is of great concern. It seems to spread rapidly. And I spent about a half-hour this morning with my COVID team, led by Dr. Fauci, and so, that was the decision we made.”

Oh, yeah, and get vaccinated against a variant we know nothing about. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

There are a few problems here. First, it’s not a great concern in South Africa, where it was found. That news is from South African doctors! 

Second, it’s not spreading rapidly. Hospitals in South Africa are not being impacted. That’s according to South African doctors!

Third, the WHO doesn’t know anything about the variant. Shouldn’t we learn something about it before we make alarmist statements?

Finally, Dr. Fauci has been wrong and been lying about everything! Why is Biden listening to him!

Biden implemented a travel ban from the African countries of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Malawi. Something that got a lot of attention on social media since Biden and Kamala called Trump a racist for implementing a travel ban. What’s worse, they called Trump a racist on social media so everyone knows they did it! What a pair of tools.

But there’s more.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an Executive Order declaring a “Disaster Emergency in the State of New York” in anticipation of winter COVID-19 case increases. She’s preparing to shut the state down again and gain more control. She declared that elective surgeries are to be cancelled.

Didn’t they do that before and it fixed nothing except kill people because they saw a heart stint as being an elective surgery? I have to tell you, she’s worse than Andrew Cuomo. Wait till Gavin Newsom of California finds out. Can’t wait to hear what he’s going to do.

Israel is shutting its borders again even though 90% of the population is vaccinated. I thought the vaccines worked.

Great Briton is reimplementing mask mandates.

Fifteen days to slow the spread.

And This Is Just Funny

According to Fox News:

The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed it skipped the Greek letters “nu” and “xi” in naming its new COVID-19 variant, which it dubbed the “omicron” variant.

“‘Nu’ is too easily confounded with ‘new,’ and ‘xi’ was not used because it is a common last name, and WHO best practices for naming disease suggest avoiding ‘causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups,’” a WHO spokesperson told Fox News in a statement on Saturday.

That’s right, they skipped two Greek letters because they were too close to the name of the dictator of China and they openly admit it. See, being politically correct does have its problems for Leftist organizations.

By the way, “nu” is problematic because it’s original pronunciation is “nee” (which means “new”) and is too close to “xi” which is the dictator’s name.

Needless to say, there was a lot of mocking of the WHO on social media:

Man the F-Up

Apparently it might be time to stop wearing my favorite clothing.

After Kyle Rittenhouse was found innocent last week, Levi’s Strauss, the makers of Levi’s jeans, had to hire a trauma specialists because they thought that some of their employees might start to suffer PTSD from the thought that a convicted child-raping pedophile was killed in mid-attack.

Levi Strauss chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer Elizabeth Morrison said in a letter to staff:

“With the news that Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted in the shooting of three individuals — two of whom lost their lives — during racial justice protests last year, this is a difficult day for many.

“To help promote safety, sharing and to encourage healing, I’ll be hosting a fireside chat and Q&A with Dr. Jamila Codrington, a licensed psychologist and racial trauma specialist in early December. Dr. J and I will talk about the mental and psychical impacts of back-to-back social and racial justice events and trauma coping mechanisms during our discussion.”

Now I know Levi Strauss is a Leftist organization (they are located in San Francisco) but I think it is rich that they think they have such pansy employees when the product they sell is touted as cowboy rugged. You know? Flying off horses and bulls and crap and the jeans can handle it. Heck, Levi’s has always been an American icon for masculinity. You’re not even suppose to wash the damn things. Throw them in the freezer for an hour of so and they’re clean (that is recommended). I can’t think of anything more masculine than that.

But this isn’t the only place that’s doing that. You know the colleges were going to have a negative response to the verdict. I mean, people are banning a story about a white boy helping a black slave escape because they were naked on a raft in one scene and they said words.

California State University, Long Beach gave students and faculty the chance to attend a “debriefing” of Rittenhouse’s acquittal, which would be attended by staff from the Counseling and Psychological Services office.

University spokesman Jim Milbury told The College Fix in an email:

“When there are higher-profile events and issues in the public discourse, it is not uncommon for our university to provide spaces for our campus community to discuss those topics.”

God, we need a bloody war with a common enemy to toughen our kids up.

On the brighter side of the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, The View’s Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg are getting sued for $60 million by Rittenhouse for defamation. That was quick. That kid is going to be so rich.

By the way, Rittenhouse is taking online classes at Arizona State University and not the students want him kicked out. He’s taking online classes!

Sorry, Not Surprised

Remember the multitude of times I said the Left doesn’t care about the Constitution and will just ignore it when it’s convenient? Well, they aso feel they don’t have to go through the amendment process to implement an amendment.

Remember the Equal Rights Amendment that was being pushed way back in the 1960s and 70s? It never became an amendment, though it was close, and the time expired in making it an amendment, not to mention five states de-ratified it after they found out what was in the amendment.

Here’s the story in case you’re not as old as I am (though I was too young to understand it at the time):

• At issue is the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), a benign-sounding Nixon-era amendment that concealed an unpopular feminist agenda. Critics say it would erode the legal protections of women and create a constitutional right to abortion just as Supreme Court justices seem poised to amend, or overturn, Roe v. Wade.
• The Equal Rights Amendment seemed destined to become the 27^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1972.
• Article V of the Constitution requires amendments to pass Congress by a two-thirds margin, then be ratified by three-fourths of the states (38 states out of 50)
• The ERA — which was championed by democratic socialists Rep. Bella Abzug (D-NY), Gloria Steinem, and Betty Friedan — passed the U.S. House of Representatives by the required margin in October 1971 and cleared the Senate five months later.
• But the legislation they passed contained a time limit: The ERA had to be ratified within seven years.
• That hurdle seemed insignificant, as a total of 30 states ratified the ERA within a year — 14 of them within the first month. Five more states followed by 1978, when the Democrat-controlled Congress voted to extend the deadline to June 30, 1982.
• Enter Phyllis Schlafly, a well-educated mother from Illinois. She found:
  • women’s exemption from being drafted into military service;
  • separate facilities for showers, restrooms, college dorm rooms, battered women’s shelters, and prisons;
  • federal programs like Title IX, Social Security benefits for women who worked in the home, and Women Infants and Children (WIC)
• The Senate began to read the amendment and began to, in a bipartisan fashion, to strip the bill of some of its major language.
• After the United States had an opportunity to digest these arguments, momentum stopped, then reversed. Although the Democrats extended the ERA’s ratification deadline, no additional states signed on, and five states rescinded their previous ratification votes: Nebraska (1973), Tennessee (1974), Idaho (1977), Kentucky (1978), and South Dakota (1979).

Enter the Left.

How extreme is this amendment? Ben Johnson of the Daily Wire wrote:

Although you have likely not heard much about it from the media, the Democrats recently unveiled a plan to illegally add an element of their radical, intersectional agenda to the text of the U.S. Constitution. The controversial amendment could eliminate all laws that recognize biological differences between men and women, and it could force taxpayers to fund abortion-on-demand. Worse yet, their actions come decades after the Left tried and failed to convince Americans to adopt the proposed amendment democratically.

Right now, the House is holding hearings to make this bill an amendment even though it didn’t pass 40 years ago.

Though the amendment is dead, blues states ratified it anyway. Those states were Nevada in 2017, followed by Illinois in 2018, and Virginia in 2020. According to the Left, that means the amendment has been ratified and it is part of the Constitution. Nevermind the fact that five states went against the ratification later, that doesn’t matter.

The DOJ under the Trump administration said that the bill could not be ratified because it expired. The Left argues that the expiration is procedural and not written into the ERA itself so that doesn’t count. They also say that states do not have the right to decertify because it’s not in the bill. Therefore, the fives states that pulled out don’t count.

Guess it’s kind of important to read and understand bills before voting for them. That’s something out politicians haven’t learned yet.

The Left tried to sue and make a judge declare the amendment part of the Constitution. In March, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee, ruled that a “ratification deadline in a proposing resolution’s introduction is just as effective as one in the text of a proposed amendment,” so the deadline to adopt the ERA “expired long ago.”

Even the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg seemed to reject the Left’s arguments. She asked in 2020:

“How can you disregard states that said ‘we’ve changed our minds’? I would like to see a new beginning” for the ERA’s ratification, starting from scratch, she said.

But the Left don’t need to follow them stinking rules:

• First, in March, the House passed a resolution from retiring Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) retroactively repeating the ERA’s 1982 ratification deadline, 222-204.
• Then on October 21, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing where they said the ERA is part of the Constitution.
• All this stuff, by the way, is unconstitutional.

Then, the Left decided to bring in the big guns. Enter Alyssa Milano, the has-been, Who’s the Boss star. She testified in front of Congress:

The states have directed Congress to amend the Constitution, and it is now the duty of Congress and the Administration [sic] to get out of the way and remove the arbitrary, unnecessary, and shameful deadline that was cynically imposed nearly a half century ago as a poison pill. … The lack of Constitutional [sic] protections for anyone who is not a cisgender man is a blemish on the very idea of Americanism. … The Framers failed us when they did not include women in the Constitution. Congress failed us when it added the deadline for ratification of the ERA. You, the members of this committee, have the opportunity and the obligation to fix the constitution [sic] and stop it from failing us.

That worked! How can we reject the wisdom of a has-been actress?

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) said, “I contend based on this testimony, that the ERA is now an amendment to the Constitution duly ratified by the 38th state, the Commonwealth of Virginia.”

Well, if Gerry and Alyssa say so it must be so.

This is going nowhere but it does show something. It shows the disdain the Left has for the Constitution and the rule of law. This is why when they talk of the Constitution and democracy, I cringe. I reject the way they view they law and I don’t want their version of democracy. Their version of democracy looks hauntingly like communism.
