Episode 352 – Their Mistakes Will Kill You

The new mayor of St. Louis wants to continue to allow her citizens to be murdered.

For Democrats, if at first you don’t succeed, try again.

And, nope, that is the behavior of a straight man.

 

They’ll Never Learn and You’ll Get Killed Because Of It

St. Louis, Missouri has the worst murder rate in the country.

  • It is averaging, this year, 87 murder per 100,000 people.
  • To show you the contrast, the second worst murder rate is Baltimore, Maryland with 57 murders per 100,000.
  • St. Louis’ murder rate is the highest rate is 50 years.
  • St. Louis is ranked 13th in murder throughout the world according to Statista. It has more murders than:
    • Cape Town, South Africa
    • San Salvador, El Salvador
    • Ciudad Juarez, Mexico

So what is the best way to lower crime? How about cut the budget for the police department and closing down jails. hat’s how St. Louis mayor, Tishaura Jones is going to handle it. Of course, she’s the first black female mayor in St. Louis history so she doesn’t need to do a good job. To the Left, she’s already doing a great job.

She was elected mayor last month and she ran on the progressive criminal justice reform.

Interim City of St. Louis Director of Public Safety Daniel Isom explained the mayor’s plan this way:

“Funding a comprehensive approach to violent crime is the best approach to reducing murders. This requires both police and partnering agencies adequately funded to support victims and hold offenders accountable. It also requires target arrest and prosecutions to get murderers and shooters off the streets and not filling jails with nonviolent offenders.”

So, spend money on non-police projects, don’t throw criminals in jail and no proactive policing. Yeah, that’s going to work. We’ve seen ideas like this work before like…never.

Remember what Rudy Giuliani did when he was mayor of New York? He increased the police force, threw criminals in jail and encouraged proactive policing by implementing stop-and-frisk. Crime in New York was at its lowest levels in history. The Left hated it because they thought it violated civil rights and was against the Fourth Amendment. They fought tooth-and-nail to get rid of it even though the streets of New York were safe and clean. Mike Bloomberg liked what he saw and kept stop-an-frisk. It was the idiot Bill de Blasio who ended stop-and-frisk and look at how New York City is now. A disaster.

Well, Tishaura Jones is following in the footsteps of Bill de Blasio. Good luck with that.

What, Again?

Things are so bad for the Democrats that they feel the need to bring up Trump and the January 6th riots at the capital.

Last week, the House passed a bill that would create a 9/11 style commission to investigate the January 6th Capitol riots.

  • The vote was 252-175.
  • There were 35 Republicans who supported the commission.
  • Chances are this is not going to get through the Senate because it requires 60 votes and the Senate is 50-50.

I think this whole thing is garbage and a misdirection. Joe Biden supports the commission and that shouldn’t be a surprise. He has some major issues in his first four months and bringing out the past to demonize Trump and his supporters. Biden’s problem is that he is getting to the point that he can’t blame all his problems on Trump. And I don’t think this is going to go well for him if this commission does convene.

  • Questions are going to be asked about the riots last summer.
  • Questions about the anti-Semitic violence that is happening now.
  • The equality of justice is going to be brought up. Almost 300 people have been arrested for the Capitol riots but no one seems to be arrested during the $3 billion riots last summer.
  • It will be pointed out that the VP ran a fund raiser to free rioters from last year.
  • It will be pointed out the mistakes that Capitol Police made:
    • Allowing people into the Capitol building.
    • Taking pictures with the “rioters”.
  • The failure of Nancy Pelosi to add security even though she was told too.
  • The failure of Washington DC mayor, Muriel Bowser, to add extra police or even Nation Guard even though she was warned.
  • Expose some of the things that have been hidden by the politicians and the media:
    • Only one person was killed, Ashlii Babbitt. Who killed her? Why wasn’t that investigation brought to the public?
    • The videos and pictures of Capitol Police interacting with rioters in a casual way.
    • The lies by people like AOC about where they were during the riot.
  • It will turn off Independents and classical liberals and moderate Democrats.

Why do it?

  • This is another attempt at impeaching Trump.
  • It also is going to be used to demonize anyone who voted for Trump by calling them white supremacists.
  • Darken the Republicans before the 2022 midterm elections which is looking to be a disaster for Democrats.
  • Deflect from the disaster that has been caused throughout the country by Leftist policies such as:
    • The employment problem.
    • The border crisis.
    • The crime problem.
    • The fuel problem.
    • Inflation.
    • The Middle East disaster.

This will just be another show-commission. It’s a waste of time. People are just not going to care about it.

No, That’s Not a Thing

According to an article on metro.co.UK in an article called, Straight men in ‘bromances’ kiss, cuddle and stand around naked together by Chris Caulfield, “straight” men like to do homosexual things with their “straight” male friends.

According to research published in Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, there is a strong desire to cuddle and hug between bromantic friends, while kissing is just another way of showing affection.

One of the students involved told the authors you can ‘lie in bed with your bromance, have a cuddle and just talk’, while another said he understood it as having ‘a cuddle buddy’. A third thought cuddling, hugging and sex jokes were a ‘core part’ of a bromantic friendship.

A bromance has been defined as ‘an emotionally intense bond between straight men’.

‘Some agreed that this was the case when asked, whereas others offered it unsolicited as part of their definition of a bromance.’

In all 29 of the 30 men who took part said they had cuddled their bromantic partner. This latest work also backs a 2012 study that found 89% of 145 surveyed undergraduate heterosexual men had kissed on the lips. One participant said: ‘Guys nowadays, in my generation, there is so much kissing between guys because it’s showing affection.’ Another added: ‘I hug him and kiss (my bromance) and tell him I love him.’

Participants also talked about how comfortable they were to be naked around their bromances.

One participant said: ‘I live in a house with three other guys, and there are massive bromances going on between us.

‘We walk around naked. I got no problems standing naked in a room with my housemates. We feel comfortable being naked around each other.’ The study was conducted across a three-month period, between August 2014 and November 2014, and involved semi-structured interviews into the friendship experiences of 30 undergraduate men who identified as heterosexual or mostly heterosexual. They were enrolled in one of four undergraduate sport-degree programs at a single UK university.

Couple of things:

  • If you are a man and walking around, naked, with other men and are comfortable with it, you’re gay or bisexual.
  • If you are a man and are snuggling with another man, you are gay or bisexual.
  • If you are a man and are kissing another man, you are gay or bisexual.
  • The “men identified and heterosexual or mostly heterosexual” thing is also funny. If you are “mostly” heterosexual, you are probably gay or bisexual.

Why do I bring this up? Because it is the type of changing of the language and perception that drives me nuts. This article basically points out that there is something wrong with me because I do not want to kiss another man. It’s like the article that said men who would not have sex with a trans woman was gay. This story pushes the belief that you are weird if you don’t buy the gay talking points.

Well, I don’t buy it. I’m not going to buy it. And I’m not weird because the only person I’m interested in kissing is my female fiancé.

Episode 351 – Blood Money

There’s a ceasefire in the Middle East but the damage has been done.

Andrew Cuomo is a piece of crap but now he has his brother helping him.

And the mayor of Chicago is a garbage human being.

 

It’s Over…But Not Really

Ceasefire!

The main battle between Israel and the Palestinian Authority on the Gaza Strip has agreed to enter into a ceasefire. The ceasefire started at midnight today.

  • The ceasefire was negotiated by Egypt.
  • This is not a popular ceasefire for the Right in Israel.
  • The PA typically does this when they are getting their asses kicked.
  • Hamas they either build up again and attack in a couple of weeks or they have taken so much damage that they need to stop until they are able get back to normal.
  • Benjamin Netanyahu warned the PA that any further attacks would be met with strength.
  • The IDF is reporting a lot of success:
    • Destroyed 62 miles of the Metro, the underground tunnels.
    • Killed 225 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists.
    • Killed 25 Hamas commanders.
  • The PA shot 4340 missiles with 630 falling inside of the Gaza Strip, killing their own people.
  • The Iron Dome took out 90% of the missiles.
  • The IDF says the amount of damage to Hamas is extensive but is hard to say how much actual damage Israel done.

This is More Than Politics

New York is looking like a war zone. Pro-Palestinian, shall I say it, terrorists are hunting Jews on the streets.

  • Jews at a restaurant were assaulted and spit on.
  • At another restaurant, a Jew was attacked and beaten up.
  • At the Diamond Mart, a heavily Jewish area, fireworks and an actual bomb was thrown at people.
  • In Fairfax, California, another heavily Orthodox Jewish area, an Orthodox Jew was almost run over by a group of people yelling “Allah Akbar”.

This is not only anti-Semitism but it is terrorism. The Democrats have a real problem.

  • Their party is looking anti-Semitic.
    • The Squad.
    • The push to block Israeli aid.
    • The pushback when Biden says Israel should defend itself.
    • The legacy media is openly allowing anti-Semites on air.

The irony is that Biden just signed an anti-Asian hate crime bill but he hasn’t said a word about the violence against Jews running throughout his country. You know why? Because Jews are considered white.

Blood Money

It’s been another bad week for the Cuomo family. That’s not a shock how corrupt all of them are. I still can’t believe that all these people still have jobs.

Blood Money

Andrew Cuomo’s tax records came out. Someone made some money during the COVID pandemic.

  • Cuomo made $5.12 million in 2020.
  • He made $3.1 million from his book discussing his leadership during the pandemic.
    • He put COVID patients back into old folks homes.
    • That added 14,000 deaths.
    • He lied about the numbers and is now under investigation for that. He under-reported by 6300.
    • He misappropriated government resources to help him get his book done.
  • This goes along with the seven women who are accusing him of sexual harassment including people eho have evidence of it.

This Guy Ain’t Going Anywhere, Either

Chris Cuomo won’t see any pushback from CNN when he shows his unethical behavior. It also shows how biased CNN is and there just…nothing. No one cares.

According to the Daily Wire:

“Four sources familiar with the calls told the newspaper that Chris Cuomo advised his brother on how to handle the political fallout produced by the allegations. Chris reportedly told his brother to refuse to resign and strike a defiant pose, claiming he was standing up against ‘cancel culture. The governor has said he will not step down from office and offered only the most formal of apologies to his accusers.”

That’s awesome. Not only was Chris making a big joke out of 16,000 deaths caused by his brothers crappy policies. Not only did he stop reporting on his brother’s malthusians with all of his brother’s sexual harassment charges. But now he is giving advice on how his brother cane get away with this whole thing with support of the media.

Guess what? All his advice was followed to the tee.

Chris Cuomo and CNN really got a black eye over this. CNN had to force Chris Cuomo to apologize and apologize he did.

CNN decided to to fire, or even punish, Chris Cuomo.

CNN said in a statement:

“Chris has not been involved in CNN’s extensive coverage of the allegations against Governor Cuomo — on air or behind the scenes. In part because, as he has said on his show, he could never be objective. But also because he often serves as a sounding board for his brother.

“However, it was inappropriate to engage in conversations that included members of the Governor’s staff, which Chris acknowledges. He will not participate in such conversations going forward.

“The network said Cuomo will not be disciplined.”

Listen:

  • I don’t blame Chris for giving advice to a family member.
  • But he has also been manipulating the the type of news, or no reporting it, that has been put out about Andrew’s situation.
  • By no disciplining Cuomo, whose rating are already in the toilet, CNN looks like they approve of what Cuomo but got caught.
  • I’ll go a step further, CNN has shown that they support the “help” that Chris gave Andrew.

She Terrible

Lori Lightfoot continues to prove she’s sexist, racist and incompetent.

  • She will only grant 1 on 1 interviews with black and brown people. No white people.

In a 2-page statement, Lightfoot said:

“In looking at the absence of diversity across the City Hall press corps and other newsrooms, sadly it does not appear that many of the media institutions in Chicago have caught on and truly have not embraced this moment. I have been struck since my first day on the campaign trail back in 2018 by the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of Chicago media outlets, editorial boards, the political press corps, and yes, the City Hall press corps specifically.”

“If I as the black woman mayor, the first-ever, don’t challenge us, the collective us, to do better, to really make sure that in every institution it reflects the diversity, nuance, and texture, then shame on me.”

“This isn’t my job. It shouldn’t be. I don’t have time for it. But as with so many festering problems, it has only gotten worse with time. So here I am, like so many other Black women before me, having to call your attention to this problem.”

Most journalists thought what she did was terrible, racist and against the First Amendment. In fact, this is probably illegal and if she gets sued, she’ll probably lose.

Gregory Pratt, a Latino journalist, actually cancelled a one-on-one interview in protest of the mayor’s new directive. In fact. most journalists have made it clear what she is doing is wrong. But that’s the Left’s way: discriminate for diversity. You know, they did the same thing when enacting Jim Crow.

But that’s not all that Lori Lightfoot has done:

  • Though Chicago will lift the mask mandate, Lightfoot will continue to wear a mask. That’s because this mask thing is all about power, not safety.
  • Crime in Chicago is still sky high. They average 30-50 shootings every weekend, most (if not all) in the black community.
  • Even with crime sky high, she is continuing to defund the police department.
  • And, the crème-de-la-crème, they have a huge rat problem. How are they handling that? They are releasing feral cats to eat the rats. No shit.
    • What will they do when the cats eat the rats? Get dogs to eat the cats?
    • What about when all the dogs eat the cats? Get tigers to eat the dogs?
    • By the way, people who know about rats say that it is dogs that will actually eat the rats, not cats.

I thought the politicians in California were bad.

Episode 350 – Could Be the End of an Era

The overturning of Roe versus Wade is going in front of the Supreme Court.

Let’s talk about Roe versus Wade and why it should be overturned, how abortion is murder and the media’s reaction.

And, finally, let’s talk about what is going to happen if it is overturned.

 

Prepare for Another Flip Out

The Supreme Court agreed on Monday, for the first time under its new 6-3 conservative majority, to hear an abortion case, potentially threatening the long-standing 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized aborting a fetus until 24 weeks, generally considered to be the stage of viability.

The case specifically challenges Mississippi’s ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Both sides are projecting at least a partial erosion of abortion rights, given the court’s conservative majority.

This case is huge. I really didn’t expect they would take the case because it is a hand grenade politically and this court has proven that they are a little gun shy when it comes to controversial cases.

THIS IS HUGE!!

For legal scholars, Roe versus Wade has been very problematic.

  • During the case in 1973, the science is what a fetus actually is was questionable.
  • Test tube babies threw out the the concept that a baby was dependent on the mother in 1978.
  • The solution of DNA in the 1990s proved that a fetus had the DNA of both parents but didn’t match either parent. In other words, DNA proved the fetus had its own DNA.
  • Further research found that the fetus develops a nervous system at three weeks.
  • At four weeks, the baby has a face and neck.
  • At eight weeks, the fetus has arms, legs, fingers, toes, a heart and lungs.
  • At 12 weeks, the heart beat can be heard and the sex can be determined.
  • At 16 weeks, the baby’s eyes can blink and the heart and blood vessels are fully formed. The baby’s fingers and toes have fingerprints.
  • At 18 weeks, babies have survived outside the womb.
  • At 20 weeks, the baby can suck a thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. Soon — if you haven’t already — you’ll feel your baby move, which is called “quickening.”

The Justices in 1973 didn’t know any of this. So they ruled in Roe versus Wade that the fetus was part of the female body, like a hand, and had the right to privacy to deal with her body in the way she sees fit.

It was a chickenshit, political ruling.

All major medical institutions throughout the world acknowledge that the fetus is a separate human life at conception. Period. Done. A woman has no more “right to privacy” to kill a baby than I have to kill my fiancé while alone in my apartment,  even though I have a right to privacy in my apartment. Also, a woman has no more right to privacy to kill her unborn baby at 24 weeks, which the child is viable, than she does when the child is three days old. It’s the same child.

Roe versus Wade could, very well, be over turned. I’ll go a step further, it should be overturned. It’s a crap law based on flawed science with a really weak ruling.

The Media

Of course, the media loves abortion because they are all Leftists. The problem is they can’t argue for it because it is murder. So what do they do? They call anti-abortionists bad names.

Chris Cuomo from CNN suggested that the reason anti-abortionists want to overturn Roe v. Wade is because we are all racist. Cuomo said:

“It’s not about science or consensus. It’s about dividing lines, legislating to the far-right white-fright vote, flooding the zone with 536 bills that abridge a woman’s right to control her own body, in 46 states. It’s just like voting rights in one way.”

No debate. No argument. Just name calling. By the way, does it even bother anyone being called a racist anymore? I feel if I am not called a racist I might have to rethink my position.

Of course you can’t have an abortion debate without calling someone a sexist.

Joy Reid of MSNBC, who is just a terrible person, said:

“The conservative-led Supreme Court has agreed to take up Mississippi’s restrictive abortion law, and women’s reproductive rights appear to be in serious, serious danger. It’s straight out of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ with a Gilead-style government, right here in America.”

She was also quoted saying:

“It’s a terrifying prospect eerily reminiscent of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ where far-right wings religious extremists took up arms against their own country, one where women and their bodies were under the complete control of almost extravagantly corrupt and hypocritical men of god, quote, unquote. What’s so scary and frankly traumatizing about that show and the book that inspired it is that it starts off in the very place that we live in right now where women have the right to choose what they do with their bodies until they don’t. And then in what seems like a blink of an eye, those rights were just gone.”

There’s no debate or reason with these people. That’s because they have no argument. This is a group that, supposedly, follows the science unless the science contradicts their agenda. The good news is that people are getting tired of being called names and they are supporting things based on their conscience.

Let’s Say It Happens

This is what I find weird about this whole mess. All these people screaming about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, if it happens, know very little about the Constitution. The reason it could get overturned is because the Constitution does not address abortion. That’s why the ruling will probably be overturned.

And not much is going to happen if it does get overturned. Abortion is not going to be banned in places like California and New York. It just means that states will have the option to ban it or restrict it or keep it legal.

Episode 349 – Great! A Federal Mandate on Cancel Culture!

Gretchen Whitmer continues to try to destroy her state and the reason are nefarious.

And Cancel Culture is being federally expanded.

 

These Guys Don’t Get It

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is not only trying to screw up her state but now she’s trying to screw up the whole Northeast.

In November, the state of Michigan sued the company Enbridge which runs a 645 mile long oil pipeline. This runs from Canada to the United States. It runs the Great Lakes, where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron connect. The stretch of line is called Line 5 and transports about 540,000 barrels a day.

The Governor said in a statement:

“These oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac are a ticking timebomb, and their continued presence violates the public trust and poses a grave threat to Michigan’s environment and economy.”

She wanted the Enbridge, a Canadian company, to kill the line by May 12.

Enbridge said in a statement that the pipeline was safe and far more efficient, safer and better for the environment than using the 2100 trucks it would take to keep the propane flowing. By the way, they never shut down the pipeline. They said that Whitmer has no authority to shut down the pipeline because it was built based on a treaty between the United States and Canada.

This line has been up since 1953 with no real issues. Why is she doing this? Because she wants more government control and wants to spend more money. She wants to implement a propane security plan which makes it so the Michigan government would have a say in how fuel is transported from Canada.

Here is the plan:

  • Find alternatives for propane delivery: Whitmer’s proposed 2022 budget includes $10 million for the Michigan Department of Transportation to invest in new rail infrastructure, $5 million to install propane storage at rail yards, and $100,000 for grants to local development organizations to develop alternative propane supply and delivery options. The state said it is also working with the propane industry to find other ways to deliver propane, “pre-buy” propane for next winter to lock in lower prices, and is developing a “strategic propane reserve” to prevent shortages if retailers’ supplies run low.
  • Prevent price gouging, provide payment assistance: The Attorney General’s Corporate Oversight Division will handle complaints related to propane price gouging, and the administration has increased funding and restructured existing state programs to provide bill payment assistance to propane customers who can’t afford to pay their heating bills.
  • Trigger market incentives: Whitmer’s order to shut down the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline “sent as clear a signal as possible to propane retailers and other propane suppliers, who are responding to this opportunity,” the governor’s release said. The plan cites recent purchases of the Upper Peninsula’s Kincheloe terminal and the Lower Peninsula’s Alto terminal as examples, and notes that some propane suppliers have begun to wean themselves off of Line 5 by using state grants to invest in rail facilities.
  • Keep tabs on propane supply: The MPSC already does this, through a monitoring program that tracks state, regional and national energy supplies and maintains a plan for managing supplies and reducing propane demand.
  • Boost energy efficiency: Drafty homes consume more fuel. To reduce demand for propane, the plan calls for using money in Whitmer’s proposed 2022 budget to help low-income homeowners renovate their homes to improve energy efficiency. The newly-established Michigan Propane Commission will levy a fee on propane sold in Michigan and use the proceeds on incentives and rebates aimed at boosting customers’ propane efficiency. Beyond that, Whitmer’s administration is looking for ways to meet residents’ heating needs through electric heat powered by renewable energy.

Some things about this:

  • This may not seem like much but this is an attempted take over of a private industry by the government. And government does not have a real good track record with taking over energy companies.
    • They spend a lot of money. All tax money.
    • The government is not efficient.
    • The government doesn’t care about people. Energy will cost more and be rationed.
    • We’ve seen this before. In Russia, China, Cuba and, most recently, Venezuela.
  • She’s been a terrible governor.
    • Detroit is a disaster.
    • The state still has a drinking water problem.
    • Her COVID policies killed people.
      • The nursing home scandal.
      • She’s under a criminal investigation for screwing with COVID death numbers.
      • She has the most restrictive COVID restrictions in the country but has some of the worst COVID number in the country. The bitch banned paint and plants!
      • Her vaccination distribution is terrible. Her state has some of the lowest vaccinations.
    • She’s a hypocrite.
      • During the shutdown, her husband used her name to get his boat put in the lake at the height of the pandemic.
      • She set up travel restrictions but still traveled to Florida to see her parents.

This is a woman you want to depend on to make sure you have gas in your car and have heat in your home in -20 degree weather? I think not.

Stop Listening!

Big Brother is listening and he is taking out on anybody who has the audacity to have an opinion.

Big Brother Has the Name of Biden

President Joe Biden’s administration is reportedly preparing to contract with private firms to surveil the social media accounts of service members to weed out those with views that the administration deems “concerning.”

The Intercept reported:

An extremism steering committee led by Bishop Garrison, a senior adviser to the secretary of defense, is currently designing the social media screening pilot program, which will “continuously” monitor military personnel for “concerning behaviors,” according to a Pentagon briefing in late March. Although in the past the military has balked at surveilling service members for extremist political views due to First Amendment protections, the pilot program will rely on a private surveillance firm in order to circumvent First Amendment restrictions on government monitoring, according to a senior Pentagon official. Though the firm has not yet been selected, the current front runner is Babel Street, a company that sells powerful surveillance tools including social media monitoring software.

Questions:

  • Define “concerning behaviors”? Is saying Old Joe is an idiot a concerning behavior?
  • Define “extremist” behavior? Saying “a man is a man” is considered extreme today, enough to get you kicked off of social media. I know this for a fact.
  • How is this not unconstitutional by violating the First Amendment?
  • And, because it IS a violation of the First Amendment, why would the military approve of this since their job is to defend the Constitution?

A spokesperson for the House Armed Services Committee released the following statement:

The Committee understands that the Department of Defense is exploring a means of implementing social media screening in conjunction with background investigations. We anticipate that any social media screening would be intended only as an additional means of vetting cleared individuals or those seeking to obtain a security clearance, not as a tool for ongoing surveillance of all men and women in uniform. That said, Secretary Austin has been clear about his intentions to understand to what extent extremism exists in the force and its effect on good order and discipline. We look forward to hearing the results of the stand down and the Department’s plan to move forward. 

This is why I got off social media:

  • Someone’s beliefs can cause fights with family and friends that would never normally happen in person.
  • One’s beliefs, through comments and likes, can be put out in the open, exposing political beliefs. Some might not be popular.
  • Someone could post or like something but that doesn’t mean he/she is an extremist.
  • Some likes can be misconstrued because perception, in this world, is reality.
  • People post stupid shit all the time. They are drunk, emotional or just not paying attention and suddenly they post something dumb. It happens. Should he/she lose his job?

This is the problem with the pronoun thing, changing of language and the “perception is reality” thing that HR departments have adopted. Anyone can be condemned for having an opinion, whether it is extreme or not. Also, the term “extreme” is subjective. Just a few years ago, it was thought “extreme” that a man marry another man.

I Love Being Right

Space Force Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier, who was fired after criticizing the U.S. military for the Marxism he claims has infiltrated the ranks. He said that Critical Race Theory was nothing but demonizing white people to push changing the systems in the country toward Marxism.

Lohmeier said on Fox News:

“What happened is I began noticing some time ago, and not just in the past few months, but over the past several years, in increasing relevance, of what I saw was Marxist ideology parading around by other names. The defense secretary in February, I think it was February 5th of this year, called for an extremism down day and they issued a guidance memorandum to all service members.”

“And in the guidance memorandum, he basically gave an injunction to every service member to combat extremist ideologies within the force where they saw them, and to take it upon ourselves to protect one another and to speak up and educate one another about extremist ideologies, when we discovered them, causing divisions within the force. And that’s me paraphrasing the guidance memorandum. And so I include that in the introduction to the book as well.”

This is what I’m afraid of when it comes to monitoring social media posts.

By the way, Lohmeier’s book is number one on Amazon’s book list, probably because of this story. This is an example of Cancel Culture backfiring.

What About Them?

Critical Race Theory is beginning to leave bodies in their wake.

The airline chose to investigate Guy Midkiff, 62, after several social media accounts urged the company to audit Midkiff’s social media history. Midkiff is a resident of Southlake, Texas, who has flown for American for over three decades.

He attacked a group called Southlake Anti-Racism Coalition on Twitter. This group is pushing CRT in schools in Texas. The CRT initiative has been quashed in a vote of 70-30.

Here are Midkiff’s tweets:

Anything really bazaar here? He’s not attacking someone outright, cussing or making threats. In fact, he’s just making fun of the group.

The SARC released a couple of tweets aimed at American Airlines:

First off, none of this is true. He was targeting the group who lost an election and, I bet, is pissed. He never targeted students. But that didn’t stop American Airlines. They said in a statement:

“We are troubled by the allegations made and have launched an investigation into the matter.”

What cowards!

Here’s a news flash: he did nothing wrong. He didn’t want his kids to learn a revised history of the United States that pushed the belief that all white people are racists and this country is a horrible place. That’s it. This should be a non-story with American Airlines not even acknowledging the tweets.

But this is the world we live in and the Biden administration wants more of this. That’s because Leftist policy is so bad and filled with so many lies that they can’t be debated or defended. Shutting up and cancelling their detractors is the only way their policies can get through.

Episode 348 – They’re Not Good People

Some big updates from the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

And the Left’s response to this is actually kind of scary.

 

The Israel Update

The Israel/Palestine conflict continues.

  • On Thursday night, Israel completed a pretty good deception:
    • They packed troops and heavy arms on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
    • Through social media, Israel said they had started the ground war.
    • Hamas anti-tank went underground through a series of tunnels galled the Gaza Metro.
    • Israel then dropped 450 missiles on the tunnels, destroying them and killing an untold number of Hamas terrorists.
  • Hamas has launched another 1500 missiles this weekend bring the total to over 4000 missiles.
  • Hamas tried to launch a explosive laced drone over the Israeli border but it was shot down and landed on the terrorists who launched it. A bunch were killed.
  • 9000 addition reservists have been called into active duty.
  • The Biden administration has approved $750 million for weapons for Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated:

the campaign against Hamas was far from over, adding that Israel “would exact a very heavy price from Hamas and the other terrorist organizations. We are doing so and we will continue to do so with great force. The last word has not been said and this operation will continue as long as necessary in order to restore the quiet and security to the State of Israel.”

Joe Biden, being the wishy-washy anti-Semite released a statement:

“Today the President spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, reaffirmed his strong support for Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza, and condemned these indiscriminate attacks against Israel. The President also spoke with Palestinian Authority President Abbas and conveyed a commitment to strengthening the U.S.-Palestinian partnership. They discussed a shared desire for Jerusalem to be a place of peaceful coexistence for all faiths and backgrounds.”

The fact the Biden wants to have a “partnership” with a known terrorist organization (Fatah) really shows how Biden doesn’t give a damn about Israel. Fatah, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad have all said they would not be satisfied until Israel and all Jews were eliminated from the face of the Earth. If Biden is still questioning that’s the case, all he has to do is open the windows and listen to the Palestinian protests right outside his door (more on that later).

I did a little research this weekend and learned something. I was expecting a ground invasion this weekend but many who really know about Middle Eastern politics said this was something Israel would want to avoid at all cost.

  • They have Fatah, Hamas and the Islamic Jihad to deal with on the Gaza Strip.
  • They have Hezbollah to deal with in Lebanon.
  • All four are supported by Iran.
  • Israel could face a war from three fronts.
  • Each group has different capabilities that must be addressed.
  • The goal of Israel is to use their advanced technology to address any situation as quickly as possible, even if the happen simultaneously.
  • Israel can easily defeat all the terrorist groups with their technology but the problem they have is the size of their country (its really small) and the size of their fighting force (170,000 active with 102,000 conscripts).
  • A long drawn out ground war would not be good for Israel.

Non-Partisan, Huh?

Israel is not going to get any support from the legacy news media.

  • Israel issued a warning, as they usually do, to a building that housed Hamas intelligence.
  • They do this in two ways: by telephone call and by something called a knock bomb.
  • After a specified time, the blow the crap out of the building.
  • But this special building held a western news source: the Associated Press.
  • When the building was cleared, Israel blew it to smithereens.
  • This is what Hamas does. The hide in civilian populated building such as schools, hospitals and apartment buildings.
  • They fire their missiles from heavily populated civilian area. This is to avoid Israel, who actually doesn’t want to kill innocents, from firing on them.
  • Earlier, they destroyed a building that also held Hamas terrorists but also held the Al Jazeera news organization.

Of course the media is throwing a fit. Nobody is asking the AP why they are in a building with a known terrorist organization. The AP is calling for a private investigation. I want them investigated too. Maybe they didn’t see the 4000+ missiles that were being launched from the streets outside their building.

Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview on Face the Nation:

“We shared with our American friends all that intelligence. Here’s the intelligence we had: it’s about Palestinian terrorists, an intelligence office for the Palestinian terrorist organization, housed in that building, that plots and organizes the terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. So it’s a perfectly legitimate target.

“No people were killed. Now imagine, ask yourself, ‘how is that possible?’ You see these highrise towers that are used by Hamas. Over and over again they collapse and no one is killed. Why does that happen? Because we, unlike Hamas, take special precautions to tell people to leave the building, leave the premises.

“We make sure everyone is gone before we bring down those terrorist facilities. And that’s the difference between Israel and Hamas. They deliberately target our cities, deliberately target our civilians. They glorify the death of children and they civilians and old people. They’re happy with it. I think they are happy with any deaths that are caused to them. We grieve for every non-combatant loss in Gaza and we grieve for all our civilians who die. We’re not happy with it and we try to minimize it.”

Israel was able to prove that Hamas had actually occupied the building. The Biden administration had no comment but said that the lives of reporters was of the utmost importance.

OK, couple of things:

  • I don’t understand the whole concept of politicizing and try to clean wars. Hamas is shooting at citizens and willing to kill anyone. Israel should do the same thing. This will guarantee a fast and clear cut victory.
  • People die in war. Some of them are children, women and innocents. Get over it.
  • If Joe Biden wants the AP, Al Jazeera and other news agencies to be safe, he should probably tell those agencies

Anti-Semitism Comes to the Forefront

Riots Within Israel

Riots between Palestinian sympathizers in Israel have add to the issues.

  • Israeli law enforcement officials have arrested more than 750 people.
  • Most of the rioting is occurring in Lod, which has a mixture of Jews and Arabs and is a lower class neighborhood.
  • Most violence between Arabs and Jews usually happens in Lod.
  • Jewish homes are being fire bombed by the rioters.
  • Five synagogues have been fire bombed.
  • A curfew has been imposed and the IDF is trying to keep control of the area.
  • Almost a third of Israel is made up of Arabs and they typically live in peace.
  • Arabs also make up the government, the supreme court and qualify for leadership in the Israeli government.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/750-rioters-arrested-in-israel-as-arab-mobs-torch-5-synagogues-attack-jewish-citizens

Riots Outside of Israel

There are also protests throughout the world:

  • There was a caravan driving through London with a loud speaker, stating: “F- the Jews! F- their mothers. Rape their daughters”
  • Protests in New York and Washington DC are targeting Jews, beating them up when found.
  • Anti-Israel protests in Germany have brought praise for Hitler and the government in now thinking of enforcing anti-Semitism laws.
  • In Vienna, Austria, there are calls for massacring the Jews.
  • Protests are also occurring in Iraq and France.

What’s scary about these protests is the hate they are showing. This level of anti-Semitism is what leads to genocide and none of the “woke” Leftists are aware of what they’re saying as being wrong.

Joy Reid and the Media

The media and the Leftist politicians blame Israel for everything with statements that border, if not cross that border, on anti-Semitism.

  • A guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show said that this was an example of Jewish supremacism.
  • The Squad is calling Israel an Apartied state much like South Africa.

Episode 347 – Another Grift

After a little time to think and listening to a couple of interviews, the cynic that pulsates inside me sees dishonest motives for the CDC ending the mask mandate.

Let’s talk about it in this brief podcast.

Yay for Crisis

I walked through the mall yesterday and there was a consensus with the bunch of people that I talked to: This mask thing is done. My fiancé didn’t appreciate me getting the opinion of the 20-year-old hot blond but, as far as I’m concerned, she is part of the population.

I asked a question yesterday. Why now? Did the science really change that much from two weeks ago?

The answer, of course, is no. The science has been the same but the politics has been different.

Now, mind you, I did not have a lot of time to think about it because the news came out during me recording of the podcast. So I did not really spit out my opinion. I was surprised that the Biden administration allowed the CDC to make this announcement.

I know, the science. But this thing with the masks has never been about the science. It has been about politics and power. That’s why I’m sort of surprised. But, politically, this makes complete sense. It’s been a bad week for Biden:

  • The jobs numbers sucked.
  • Inflation is through the roof.
  • A rise in crime.
  • Riots.
  • Racial division.
  • We are in a fuel shortage.
  • There’s a crisis at the border.
  • People are sick of schools being closed.
  • There’s war in the Middle East.
  • Russian cyberterrorists are attacking our infrastructure.

All this is happening due to Biden’s policies and his lack of action. the problem is that Biden is losing power by saying one doesn’t need to wear a mask. Suddenly, people are free. But he did tweet something that would make sure we know our places:

Yeah, this was not met well. Sounds kind of tyrannical, doesn’t it? How about if I don’t want to wear a mask and don’t want to get vaccinated? If I catch COVID, isn’t that my problem?

This whole mask thing has always been about control. Blue states lock down and arrest people for not complying because freedom is a pain in their asses. Red states open up because freedom is a good thing and people need to practice personal responsibility. Guess where the highest rates of COVID occurred. The same places that had the highest level of restriction: Michigan, New York and California. Not Florida which has been opened for almost a year.

The lockdowns were bullshit and it was always about politics and control.

The blue checks on Twitter responded:

Yeah, I pretty much responded the same way. I thought it was tyrannical and overbearing. It seemed to me that Old Joe was trying to re-establish his authority and power.

But Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire hit it the way we all should have:

In other words: F-you!

Episode 346 – About Bloody Time!

The pipeline is back up but we shouldn’t rest on our laurels yet.

The conflict in Israel is getting hotter.

Could the United States be facing a coup?

And the Center for Disease Control makes a huge announcement!

 

Back Online

The Colonial oil pipeline is back online but the cost may be more than is worth.

According to Bloomberg:

“Colonial Pipeline Co. paid nearly $5 million to Eastern European hackers on Friday, contradicting reports earlier this week that the company had no intention of paying an extortion fee to help restore the country’s largest fuel pipeline, according to two people familiar with the transaction.”

So much for never giving in to Russian terrorists.

  • It was found that the best way to get back online was to pay DarkSide, the hacker group, than restore from backup, if that was even possible.
  • The payment was made with Bitcoin, which is untraceable.
  • This really shows the weakness of the Biden administration which saw this as a private matter between the company and the hackers.
  • This will invite more attacks.
  • It will take about two weeks for production levels to reach normal.

Let’s face it, this works for the Biden administration. They want to get rid of fossil fuels. They want people to stop driving cars and start driving electric cars.

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm was asked, by the purring media, a question that I thought was very telling about what the Left thinks.

The reporter asked:

“Obviously, we have the acute issues with the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack. But looking more holistically in a macro view, how does this speed up the efforts at DOE to move in more of a renewable direction since this is going to have an impact on people at the pump?”

Are you kidding me? This is your question? We had our infrastructure attacked by Russian terrorists, the Biden administration did nothing about it and a reporter asks about how the administration can spend more money on new technology that is around 10% efficient?

God, the media is terrible. But her answer was worse:

“Yeah, I mean, we obviously are ‘all in’ on making sure that we meet the president’s goals of getting to 100% clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. And, you know, if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly.”

Really? That’s you answer?

What if you can’t afford the $60,000 an electric car that goes over 100 miles costs? Talk about out-of-touch.

See, here’s the thing: the Biden administration doesn’t care. They don’t care about the people or their lives or what they need to survive.

Meanwhile, the panic continues. A lot of folks in the Southeast are hoarding gas. Today, Biden is telling everyone not to panic, that this whole thing is temporary.

There is a video going around the Internet showing some gal in Florida filling plastic bags with gas and putting it in her trunk. Frigging amazing. Pete Buttigieg, our awesome transportation secretary, actually had to tell people not to put gasoline in plastic bags.

Just amazing. And we are only 113 days into Biden’s Presidency.

Just in Case the Colonial Pipeline Wasn’t Enough

The AP is reporting that a ransomware attack has occurred against the Washington DC police department.

  • The group is another Russian based group called the Babuk group.
  • They are asking for $4 million dollars in ransom.
  • Though not confirmed, the department offered $100,000 but the group said it wasn’t enough.

So, that’s awesome. I guess that’s one way to defund the police. Pay criminal gangs to stay out of police data. What the hell is our government doing?

https://apnews.com/article/police-technology-government-and-politics-53e54780aa080decbb78d5b88d4ff44b

 

All Hands on Deck

The battle continues between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

  • There have been close to 4000 missiles launched from the Gaza Strip into Israel.
  • Israel has been responding with 600 of their own attacks. Now, mind you, responding.
  • Israel has said that everything could end if the Palestinians would just stop firing missiles.
  • There have been about 40 deaths so far on both sides.
  • Seven to nine children were killed on the Gaza Strip which has all the Left flipping out. Turns out the missile that hit those children were actually from the Palestinians. So the Palestinians not only don’t care about their people but they are also incompetent.
  • The Palestinians are admitting that they are getting the missiles from Iran. That’s a Joe Biden gaff for giving money to Palestinian Authority and Iran.
  • Israel has threatened a land war and promised it would not end until they killed the leadership of all the heads of Hamas, Fatah and the Islamic Jihad terrorist groups.

The Biden administration sure did a great job destroying Middle East peace in just a few months.

Do I Smell a Coup?

More than 120 retired generals and admirals from the United States Armed Forces warned in a letter this week that the U.S. was entering a state of “deep peril” under the leadership of President Joe Biden and even called into question his physical and mental health.

Here is a bit from the letter:

Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other
time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs.
supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.

During the 2020 election an “Open Letter from Senior Military Leaders” was signed by 317 retired
Generals and Admirals and, it said the 2020 election could be the most important election since our
country was founded. “With the Democrat Party welcoming Socialists and Marxists, our historic way of
life is at stake.” Unfortunately, that statement’s truth was quickly revealed, beginning with the election
process itself.

Without fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the “will of the people” our Constitutional
Republic is lost. Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per
citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature’s approved controls using government IDs,
verified signatures, etc. Today, many are calling such commonsense controls “racist” in an attempt to
avoid having fair and honest elections. Using racial terms to suppress proof of eligibility is itself a
tyrannical intimidation tactic. Additionally, the “Rule of Law” must be enforced in our election
processes to ensure integrity. The FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities
are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020. Finally, H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), would destroy
election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power violating our Constitution and
ending our Representative Republic.

Aside from the election, the Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our
Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive
Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations.
Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and
most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental
Rights. We must support and hold accountable politicians who will act to counter Socialism, Marxism
and Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsible governing
while focusing on all Americans, especially the middle class, not special interest or extremist groups
which are used to divide us into warring factions.

They also added what the administration is doing that is putting our country at risk. I’ll just list these:

  • The blast the open border policy.
  • They point to the threat from China and how it’s being ignored.
  • They talk about the censorship problem and cancel culture.
  • The cancelling of the Keystone Pipeline and loss of energy independence.
  • Re-entering the Iran Nuclear Deal.
  • The militarization of Washington DC.
  • The politicization of the military.
  • The lack of law and order.
  • The diminished mental capacity of President Biden.

This is dangerous for the Biden administration. But good for us. The military is suppose to protect the Constitution and are suppose to overthrow the U.S. government when it goes outside their Constitutionally mandated powers. It says it in the Constitution and it is the oath every soldier takes when sworn in. They do not swear an oath to the government.

REPORT: Former DNI Says Susan Rice Running ‘Shadow Presidency’ and ‘No One is Paying Attention’

It’s About Damn Time!

Per the Wall Street Journal about the new CDC guidelines released today:

Fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear a mask or physically distance during outdoor or indoor activities, large or small, federal health officials said, the fullest easing of pandemic recommendations so far.

The fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask while traveling by plane, bus or train, and the guidance doesn’t apply in certain places like hospitals, nursing homes and prisons, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday.

This leaves some questions:

  • What changed from last week to this week? The science is the same. Why now?
  • When are the states going to open? I don’t want to wear a mask in a grocery store.
  • When are schools going to open?
  • What if I’m fully vaccinated and don’t want to wear a mask? Do I have to prove it with a vaccine passport?
  • Is Joe Biden going to finally stop wearing his three masks everywhere he goes?

Episode 345 – Really, Sidewalks?

More bad news for Old Joe.

Liz Cheney gets her just desserts.

And white people can’t even walk right.

 

Boy, That Was Fast

The crappy jobs report last week has really put a strangle on the economy. Inflation, which most of us thought wouldn’t hit for a couple year due to the debt, has reared its ugly head already due to no one working, free money and a demand for goods.

According to CNBC:

“Inflation accelerated at its fastest pace in more than 12 years for April as the U.S. economic recovery kicked into gear and energy prices jumped higher. The Consumer Price Index, which measures a basket of goods as well as energy and housing costs, rose 4.2% from a year ago, compared to the Dow Jones estimate for a 3.6% increase. The monthly gain was 0.8%, against the expected 0.2%.”

Oops.

The Stock Market is flipping out. The Wall Street Journal stated:

“Rising commodity markets, supply-chain blockages and hiring difficulties have prompted some investors to expect a prolonged upswing in consumer prices. That could lead the Federal Reserve to raise its target for short-term interest rates sooner than it has signaled, potentially weighing on stocks and other assets that have benefited from over a year of near-zero borrowing costs.”

I guess it might be time to start buying gold and silver.

The economic situation we are in is the worst since the 2008 recession. But we can go way further back. There are a lot of consistencies with what happened in the 70s under Jimmy Carter, arguably the worst President in United States history.

Under Jimmy Carter we had:

  • High inflation.
  • Joblessness.
  • Major division.
  • A fuel shortage.
  • Major foreign policy issues (Iran).

Joe Biden is creating a disaster within this country. You want to know the good news? Jimmy Carter only lasted one term and his incompetence led to the right wing radical by the name of Ronald Reagan.

Good Bye and Good Riddance

Liz Cheney, who has just been an absolute splinter for the Republican party has finally been stripped of her leadership role in Congress.

You might be asking yourself why I haven’t really talked about this before. Simply, it’s because I don’t care. I think this has been a story that has been horribly overinflated by the news media and this happens all the time within both parties. The reason this story is big is because it’s within the Republican party and the Leftist media wants to make it out that there is disintegration of the Republican party.

Listen, there is no disintegration of the Republican party. Liz Cheney is a Conservative. She had an 80% approval from Conservative groups and voted with Republicans 96% of the time. She just didn’t like Trump and was vocal about it. This could be seen in her press conference today. Listen:

This is her problem:

  • She didn’t just dislike Donald Trump, she hated him.
  • She went on all Left wing news outlets, like MSNBC and CNN, and did nothing but bitch about Trump.
  • She would be in press conferences with other House leadership and just start bitching about Trump. Out of nowhere.

She just couldn’t get over it and she still can’t. All she had to do was be quiet. She’s from the very Conservative state of Wyoming and is probably going to lose the next election.

I just don’t think this is a big deal. I don’t care. republicans have every right to choose the leadership. She’s going to be gone soon anyway. It’s media hype again. Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney are really the only conflicts within the Republican party. Democrats have far more issues that are also very public. These just have not been chosen to be news stories.

We Can’t Even Walk Right?

OK, this is the most crazy story of the day. It is a slow news day. It also shows just how our college professors have nothing better to do than opine about crap.

A Northwestern University professor actually said that the way white people walk is proof of internalized racism. I’m not frigging kidding. We can’t even walk right. This thing was actually seen as relevant enough to put in the university newspaper.

It is titled: Are the sidewalks at Northwestern too White, too? by opinion editor Kenny Allen.

When I first got to Northwestern, I wondered why walking around on campus could be so frustrating. Even when sidewalks were relatively empty, I would often have to walk way around people to pass without bumping into them. At first, I chalked it up to the geographic diversity of the school; maybe the people that came to this school were used to different ways of moving through a public place. But after talking to my Black friends about my experience, they echoed it: people at this predominantly White school would not move out of our way on the sidewalk.

I think Kenny is not used to being in a big city. This crap happens all the time and race is not an issue. Everyone is in their own little world in crowded big cities.

This was one of many reminders that diversity does not mean inclusion at NU. Even though the University has worked to increase the number of Black students here, that doesn’t mean we’re welcomed with open arms. Bedelia Nicola Richards, a sociology professor at the University of Richmond (sociology is not a science) laid out a set of five questions to determine whether one’s university is racist: 

  1. Which group or groups feel most at home on the campus and which ones feel like (unwanted) guests? (notice everything is about feelings and perceptions? Feelings and perceptions are not reality and truth).
  2. Whose norms, values and perspectives does the institution consider to be normal or legitimate? Whose does it silence, marginalize or delegitimize? (Norms, values and perceptions are subjective. There has to be an assumption that everyone knows about one’s norms, values and perceptions).
  3. Who inhabits positions of power within the institution? (This is subjective and perception-based. There’s no objective measure).
  4. Whose experiences, norms, values and perspectives influence an institution’s laws, policies and systems of evaluation? (Do I really need to say anything here I haven’t said before?)
  5. Whose interests does the institution protect? (If you’re in the institution, wouldn’t you think the institution would protect you? More feelings and perception.)

At this school, the answer to most of those questions is White people. Any honest accounting of the decision-making structures at this school would tell you so. And this power dynamic is always present in the way Black students interact with this institution.

Where does he come up with that? Because he feels that way? What if I were to tell him that I think its black people because of the way of the word today? Based off of the question asked, it could easily be?

Almost everybody in the United States gets some sort of education about Jim Crow segregation. Black people had to attend different schools, weren’t allowed to vote and didn’t have any legal protection from discrimination. These laws helped to create an image of Black inferiority after the abolition of slavery. And that sentiment trickled down to the way people interact on an interpersonal level. 

The formal rules of Jim Crow were accompanied by a set of informal ones that governed the way Black people approached White people in public space and vice versa. That social order required Black people to yield to White people whenever possible. Both sets of rules told White people that they were superior and Black people that they were inferior — and that this pattern of subjugation was the natural way for things to be. Black people were made to show deference to White people any time they interacted. One of the ways they were made to do so was by stepping off the sidewalk when a White person was walking past.

The informal rules are passed down through generations just like any other kind of etiquette. White people came to expect the right of way in public spaces. White people who were accustomed to moving through the world like that — intentionally or not — taught their kids to move through the world in the same way. And the racism that undergirded Jim Crow wasn’t eliminated just because the laws were no longer overtly racist.

Jim Crow was systemic racism. No question and I would not be surprised that black people would have to step off a sidewalk if a white person walked by. But that’s over. People don’t do that anymore and haven’t for a long time. I have never see a person of color clear the way on a sidewalk because I was walking by. Have you?

This kind of thing makes this entire argument invalid. Thank God there is only one more paragraph.

Many White people walk around campus having unknowingly absorbed this particular facet of White supremacy, and the leaders of the institution do little to make us believe that White supremacy is something worth challenging in the first place. This is not to say that giving people space in public is a way to be anti-racist; the sidewalk question is just one way in which Black people are made to feel unwelcome. This is to say that essentially every aspect of our society, including the way we physically move through space, has been shaped by a racist legacy. Uprooting that White supremacy requires both recognizing its scale and disrupting it however it shows up. 

What a stupid article.

  • He offers no evidence of anything nor any examples.
  • He brings up something that happened sixty years ago and says things are still like that.
  • This is an example of one who so self-aggrandizes, is so self-centered, that he believes its racist that people do not acknowledge him while walking around.
  • The fact that this article was allowed to be published and should be taken seriously tells me that blacks actually do have the power. That’s what I think. This article is proof.
  • Finally, it also shows that anything can be seen as racist. No matter what I do, something I do will prove I’m a racist. I can’t win.

Episode 344 – Sheer Incompetence

Old Joe is incompetent.

I gotta say, Old Joe has managed to f-up everything this week and it’s only Tuesday!

So Much for Peace

Joe Biden just needed to do nothing with the Middle East. Stay out of it and let the Trump policies run their course and, hopefully, more peace deals would be struck. Nope, couldn’t do that. So far:

  • He is negotiating to get back into the Iran Nuclear Deal.
  • According to Iran, Biden has given money that was being held from Iran. That has not been confirmed.
  • He has released hundreds of millions of dollars for aid to the Palestinians. The same group that is run by Hamas, another terrorist organization.

So you know things are not going to go well over there. Biden hates the Jews and Israel just like Obama did. Heck, all the Left hates them.

Well, the violence has finally escalated:

  • On Monday, during a festival celebrating Jerusalem Day held at the Temple Mount, which is the holiest site for the Jews, the Palestinians started launching fireworks that lit a tree on fire. The site had to be evacuated.
  • Throughout the day into today, Hamas has launched more than 400 missiles into Israel.
  • The Iron Dome, which is Israel’s air defense system, has taken out over 90% of the missiles sent. Reports have it over 30 have been injured.
  • Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck back.
    • The first two stages of attacks, IDF fighter jets and attack helicopters ran attacks that destroyed 130 Hamas targets including a school.
    • In the third stage of attacks, the IDF attacked weapons sites and military facilities. The focused on the Islamic Jihad organization and the Hamas leadership.
    • An intelligence building and two underground tunnels and were destroyed.
    • The Israeli military is now bringing heavy weapons and troops on the border and look like they are about to begin a ground incursion. This is to be more exact with their targets.

Why Did This Start?

There are two reasons that are being put out there: one by the Left the other, well, because this always happens and is probably the real reason.

This is BS. There were only four homes that needed to be cleared out. The residents admitted they did not own the properties and had not paid rent for over a decade. They were not kicked out of the area, they just couldn’t live for free in the property they were living in. This is nothing more than a civil eviction case. But this is what the Left is using as an excuse for showing that Israel is bad and is displacing the Palestinians. It also justifies the attacks by Hamas.

The most likely reason for the attacks by the Palestinians is a deflection to its own government’s corruption. Today or yesterday was suppose to be the Palestinian Authority’s first election since 2006. The leader of the ruling party, PA President Mahmoud Abbas, knew he was probably going to lose so he cancelled the election last week. Abbas said he was cancelling the election because Israel would be preventing Palestinians from voting, which is crap.

By the way, when the Palestinian Authority is facing some sort of internal conflict, they usually launch missiles at Israel.

American Response

Of course, Israel can expect no help from the Biden administration. The only thing they said is the violence needs to be de-escalated. Great call. Five hundred missiles have been launched into Israel and Israel needs to de-escalate. What a weak response.

The White House made a statement later:

“We are continuing to closely monitor the violence in Israel. We have serious concerns about the situation, including violent confrontations that we’ve seen over the last few days. As you noted, an escalation earlier today.

“In a call over the weekend with his Israeli counterpart, our national security advisor Jake Sullivan reiterated concerns about the potential evictions of Palestinian families from their homes. And they agreed that the launching of rocket attacks and incendiary balloons from Gaza towards Israel is unacceptable and must be condemned. So this is something that our national security team is closely monitoring, obviously across government. Certainly, the president is kept abreast and is watching closely as well.”

Israel is pushing President Joe Biden to refrain from involving the United States in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying Biden’s meddling would likely make the situation worse. They know that Biden, who has threatened Israel in the past as a Senator, will side with the Palestinian Authority and try to force Israel not to respond. Israel can’t afford to show weakness.

The Squad

Of course, the two anti-Semites of the squad had to chime in and spread the Palestinian Authority’s propaganda.

Ilhan Omar tweeted:

She’s doesn’t mention that it was the Palestinians were the one who started a riot at the Temple Mount and launched missiles into Israel. Does she want to know how to protect the Palestinians? Don’t launch missiles into Israel.

She also tweeted:

Another stupid tweet. Of course the Palestinians have a right to safety and security. And they have it. Just stop launching missiles into Israel. Notice there is no acknowledgement that the Palestinian Authority is doing anything wrong at all. It’s all Israel.

Rashida Tlaib, another Jew-hater, tweeted:

It is so important that the Palestinians pray during the week of Ramadan that they decide to attack Israel with missiles. I’m pretty sure a lot of them are not praying. And I don’t give a damn about the holiday if they are being the aggressors.

I also want to point out that Israel has shown a lot of restraint. If Mexico started lobbing missiles over the border into Texas, you better believe the United States were turn Mexico into New Texas within a week. I’m surprised Israel has not walked into the Palestinian territory and killed off every Hamas and Fatah terrorist in the region. Instead, they continually try to make peace and make concessions.

It’s going to get old after a while and Israel is just going to smack the crap out of them eventually.

When Are We Going to Have Odd and Even Days?

I saw a tweet today:

Oil pipelines closed: Biden – 2, Trump – 0

The east coast is now suffering through a gas shortage.

On social media, multiple videos went viral of people showing that their gas stations were out of fuel in states including Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and others. Panic buying might be playing a role in gas stations running out of fuel, although it is hard to tell based on initial reports.

  • A bunch of gas stations are closed because they have run out of gas.
  • Those stations that are opened have lines wrapped around the block.
  • A lot of this has to do with panic buying like with the toilet paper last year.
  • We are not out of fuel.

The Biden administration has responded like they typically do. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said:

“The President continues to be regularly briefed on the Colonial Pipeline incident. The Administration is continually assessing the impact of this ongoing incident on fuel supply for the East Coast. We are monitoring supply shortages in parts of the Southeast and are evaluating every action the Administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible.

“The President has directed agencies across the Federal Government to bring their resources to bear to help alleviate shortages where they may occur.”

Yeah, no. He doesn’t care.

When asked about what the administration was doing about solving the ransomware problem, this is how his energy secretary answered:

Two things here:

  • First off, if you are a reporter and are going to ask a question on national television, have your questioned prepared and don’t stumble through it.
  • What weak sauce. This is really leadership?
  • This is part of our energy infrastructure. You know, the same infrastructure he wants to dump $2 trillion. We can’t trust him to take responsibility for something like this but we should trust him on how to spend $2 trillion?

So Out of Touch

So, businesses are telling Old Joe why no one is working. Economists are telling Old Joe why no one is working. CNN is telling Old Joe why no one is working. Fox News id telling Old joe why no one is working. There are people who refuse to work telling Old Joe why they won’t work. And everyone is telling Old Joe that there is going to be inflation.

But Old Joe… Listen:

How out-of-touch is this guy?

This comes after he said, “The economy is on the right track” last week after that weak-ass jobs report.

Remember, no one is working now. They expected one million new jobs last month and were 75% short. Trump added 230,000 jobs in January of 2020 at the start of a pandemic and with an unemployment rate of 3.5%.

Oh. Old Joe.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-no-evidence-people-arent-working-due-to-government-benefits-and-they-better-not-be-doing-it

 

Conclusion

Let’s see:

  • Old Joe was given a vaccine and a vaccine plan. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given an economy that was destined to explode. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given a record setting stock market. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given an energy surplus, making us an exporter of oil instead of an importer. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given a secured border. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given a neutered Iran. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given a compliant North Korea. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given a compliant China. And he f-ed it up.
  • Old Joe was given Middle East peace. And he f-ed it up.

I’m sure I forgot some things but you get the picture.

But Old Joe did give us some things:

  • A military that is woke.
  • A CIA that is woke.
  • Men competing against women.
  • A hatred of religion.
  • Race divisiveness.
  • Rioting.
  • Critical race theory in schools.
  • Wearing masks all the time.
  • Huge debt.
  • Inflation.
  • Class warfare.
  • Censorship and cancel culture.
  • Tax hikes.

Yeah. Things are looking good under Old Joe’s watch.

You miss Trump yet?

Episode 343 – Happy Birthing Person Day!

The Left tries to control language again and gets wrecked.

Tony Fauci just won’t go away.

Greta Thunberg is MIA now that the new CO2 report comes out.

And I don’t understand why some of this stuff keeps happening.

 

Happy Birthing Persons Day!

There were some very nice, political messages from the Democrat leaders that released their messages before the Left had a chance to edit the final product.

Nancy Pelosi said:

“Our mothers are our Guardian Angels, and we carry them always in our hearts, whether or not we are blessed to have them with us. Happy Mother’s Day to you and your family.”

That was very nice.

The White House released a tweet:

“Moms have always built, shaped, led, and sustained this country — and we’re committed to fighting for the safe and equitable workplaces, affordable health care, child care, and equal pay that every mom deserves. Happy Mother’s Day.”

OK, that was a tad bit more political and self-serving but not terrible. Well, it was terrible but what can we expect?

Then, Cori Bush decided to come up with the new pneumonic for mothers:

Well, this became the saying of the week. Everyone started using that term; in the media, politicians, activists, everyone. Listen:

Thanks to The News Junkies Archives on YouTube for a great, short compilation.

The reality is Mother’s Day is a bad thing for the Left:

  • Men can be women and women can be men. This confusion is important to change the meaning of language so that it conforms to their principle. Look at what they’ve done to the meaning of racism.
  • The Left hates the nuclear family. Mothers are part of the nuclear family. Fathers are part of the nuclear family (can’t wait to see what they do to Father’s Day).
  • The Left would rather all kids were orphans so they could be raised by the government than actually be raised in a healthy home.

This did not go well for them and that’s a good thing. I think Ben Shapiro summed it up in a tweet:

I think that pretty much sums it up. The Left doesn’t care about people, families or science. And people are getting sick of their crap. I bet you we don’t hear anything about “birthing persons” again.

This Man is a Nut Job

Dr. Tony Fauci is at it again. I don’t understand why this guy has any authority and hasn’t been fired yet. Here he is on ABC News saying something crazy:

Yeah, no. That was pretty much what everyone on Twitter said.

He also said that masks were going to be seasonal.

Yeah, no.

The Biden administration has screwed this whole thing up to high heaven.

  • They said, on the campaign trail, that they would not take a vaccine that Trump made.
  • They keep telling us we will have to keep masks on even after we get the vaccine.
  • They refuse to support opening of the schools because of the teacher’s union.
  • Now they are saying we may never reach herd immunity.

One has to wonder why the Biden administration is sending so many mixed messages. I’ll take a guess. Could it be…oh…power? They like the control they have?

Guess what? I’m vaccinated and, therefore, I’m not wearing a mask. I am not going to wear a mask based on what Tony Fauci or Joe Biden says. They’re idiots and I want my freedom back.

Where’s Greta?

A new report released late week found that communist China’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 were higher than the rest of the developed world combined.

The report was published by the Rhodium Group, a leading independent research provider that specializes in matters involving China, energy & climate, India, and economics.

The Rhodium Group tweeted:

What amazes me:

  • The Left keeps screaming that socialism will save the environment.
  • Environmentalists keep ignoring China and, when questioned, will say that they are a developing country. What the Hell difference does that make? We are going to die in 10 years.

It’s not about the environment. It’s about equity and transforming the United States into a socialist, globalist country. It’s about erasing our identity as a nation. It’s about jealousy over the richest, most successful nation in human history.

The environmental movement has been one of the biggest grifts in United States history.

Like We Needed Another Reason

A major ransomeware was discovered Friday on the Colonial Pipeline on the east coast of the United States.

  • Ransomware is when data is encrypted with an unknown key. The only way a company can unlock their data is to pay the hackers for the key or restore data from backup.
  • Colonial Pipeline operates a 5,500-mile system taking fuel from the refineries of the Gulf Coast to the New York metro area.
  • The pipeline transports more than 100 million gallons a day, or roughly 45% of fuel consumed on the East Coast, according to the company’s website.
  • Prices are already up $0.06 and we have the highest national average since November of 2014 at $2.96 a gallon.
  • Gas in California is already ay $4.00 a gallon.
  • The pipeline was shutdown until the hack could be controlled. Though the main lines are down, some of the smaller lines remain running.
  • The FBI confirmed in a statement on Monday that the DarkSide ransomware group is responsible for the Colonial Pipeline attack.
  • DarkSide is among ransomware gangs that have “professionalized” a criminal industry that has cost Western nations tens of billions of dollars in losses in the past three years.
  • DarkSide is an Eastern European hackers group.

DarkSide posted the following:

It is just asinine that we are putting up with this crap. This is happening way too much in this country and it should never happen.
