Episode 909 – Remember, There Are Other Things Happening

Israel Is on the brink of a war at the northern border. If the rioters were whining about what is happening in Gaza, wait until the war with Hezbollah.

The head of the Ku Klux Klan has endorsed a candidate for President and you’ll never guess who got it.

And more bigotry has been wiped from Los Angeles. Wait until you hear this one.

This One Will Be Bloody

According to Fox News:

Israeli officials warned that the country is on the “brink” of a full-scale war with Hezbollah if the terrorist group continues to increase its aggression in northern Israel.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) made the warning on Sunday, just a day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to meet with Amos Hochstein, a top aide to President Biden. Biden’s administration is pushing Israel to avoid a war in Lebanon, but IDF officials continue to highlight the outsized threat posed by Hezbollah compared to Hamas.

“Hezbollah’s increasing aggression is bringing us to the brink of what could be a wider escalation,” an IDF spokesman warned Sunday.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant echoed the statement in his own talks with Hochstein on Monday.

“We are committed to the diplomatic process, however Hezbollah’s aggression is bringing us closer to a critical point in the decision-making regarding our military activities in Lebanon,” he told the Biden representative.

Hochstein later met with both Netanyahu and Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Both Israeli figures thanked Hochstein for meeting with them but made no promises regarding a war in Lebanon.

Israel did not offer details about their conversations.

A Shocker

According to the New York Post:

Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke says he is siding with anti-Israel protesters and those who will “save us from Jewish supremacism” — and now pro-Palestine activists are being ripped online for finding common ground with the hate group.

Duke, a self-proclaimed white supremacist and ex-grand wizard of the Knights of the KKK, made his hateful comments during a protest Friday in Detroit that was held after the rightwing America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) led by white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes was abruptly canceled.

“I support Nick and all his work … and all the people who are working to save our country and save us from Jewish supremacism. We’re being genocided just like the Palestinians,” Duke says in a video shared on X by political commentator and undercover journalist Cam Higby.

When asked in the clip if he is friends with Fuentes, Duke replies, “I consider him a comrade in the fight for our people.”

Videos of Duke’s comments shared on X quickly took off, with many commenting that anti-Israel activists should be concerned they have seemingly found common ground with the KKK.

“If David Duke is on your side, you know you are on the wrong side,” the National Jewish Assembly (NJA) commented under the clip.

More Accidents for Equity

MAebe A. Girl

According to the L.A. Times:

Messages like “No cruising. No U-turns. Midnight to 6 am” were posted around the neighborhood in 1997, with the intent to curb gay men from roaming the streets to hook up.

For years the signs remained, even as the city’s leadership changed and the community grew — until this week. In a celebration with LGBTQ+ community members, District 4 Councilmember Nithya Raman and District 13 Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez retired the signs on Monday.

“Los Angeles has a rich history of welcoming the LGBTQIA+ community, but there has also been real and present homophobia— which at times has been inscribed into the city’s physical spaces, as with these no-U-turn signs,” Raman said in a statement.

In the late 90s, when the internet was new and gay dating apps such as Grindr did not exist, queer men sometimes relied on printed guidebooks that listed public areas where they could find love, sex and community without outing themselves.

Among those areas was West Hollywood, where anti-gay traffic signs similar to the ones removed Monday were installed in 1991 and later removed — and Griffith Park Boulevard in Silver Lake, where Soto-Martinez and Raman’s districts now meet. The area is also where more than half a dozen bars, all within a 2-mile radius, serve a thriving queer clientele between East Hollywood and Silver Lake.

I just want to point out that East Hollywood and Silver Lake have huge crime, drug and gang problems. This is the big concentration of the L.A. City Council?

Episode 907 – Repetition Does Not Make Something True!

Joe Biden, after his son’s conviction on gun charges, decides to go on a rant on gun control and everything he’s said has already been debunked the first ten times he’s said it.

There is some real news happening out there concerning threats from sources other than Trump.

And there is a new fear that the Leftist narcissists are concocting if Trump get re-elected.

News

Here is a quick look at what’s going on in the world:

  • The inflation rate has gone down from 3.4% to 3.3%.
  • The Fed is having a meeting today to determine what to do with interest rates. My guess is nothing.
  • Jerry West, famed Laker player, coach and General Manager has dies at 86.
  • I am rooting for Hunter Biden to get his gun charge overturned.

Real News

According to the New York Post:

flotilla of Russian warships passed within hailing distance of Florida’s eastern coastline Tuesday, with the US Navy and Coast Guard following close behind, according to open-source maritime and air tracking information.

The Coast Guard Cutter Stone, Navy guided-missile destroyers USS Truxtun and USS Donald Cook, and the Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec sailed after four Russian vessels reportedly headed to Cuba, according to online maritime trackers including VesselFinder.

A Navy P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft was also spotted in the region.

The group left Severomorsk, Russia in May with plans to spend several months performing “long-distance missions” across the world “to show the flag and ensure a naval presence in operationally important areas of the far ocean zone,” according to Russian state media agency Tass.

Moscow’s presence so close to US shores comes as representatives of nearly 100 countries across the world prepare to attend this weekend’s Ukraine Peace Summit in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Vice President Kamala Harris will represent the United States in lieu of President Biden.

The meeting – to which Russia was not invited – was arranged by the Swiss and Ukrainian governments with the intention to develop a pathway to end the war in Ukraine.

Some things:

  • This is saber rattling. Russia is feeling insecure about their strength.
  • This is also a sign the Russia is not threatened by the United States.
    • They have a base by us in Cuba.
    • Our Navy is out of date.
    • Russia is also seeing all our gay seamen sashaying around TikTok.

Dumbass of the Day

He never “banned” assault weapons. He helped put a moratorium on them for 10 years.

This brings us to another question he will not be able to answer: What is an assault weapon?

He continues to show he doesn’t know anything about weapons. Shotguns use shells, rifles use rounds.

Finally, when I need to use a rifle to protect myself, why would I want to short myself of ammo? Don’t I want to overpower my attackers? But that doesn’t matter. It’s none of his f-ing business why I need 200 rounds.

This is a false category when it comes to death statistics.

  • There are three ways to die with a gun.
    • Murder.
    • Suicide.
    • Accident.
    • Most gun deaths are suicide. Accidents are second.
  • Guns do not kill people. Guns are inanimate.
    • In Japan, suicide by hanging is the highest incidence of death among the youth. They don’t have a category of death by rope.
  • Finally, most murderers, by a long shot, aren’t legally able to own guns. Adding more laws won’t change that.

So much is wrong here.

  • He was never a professor at UPenn.
  • The “you couldn’t own a canon” argument was debunked the first three times Joe said it. Yes, you could have owned a canon.
  • I sigh when I see him laugh at the words of the Constitution. It shouldn’t be a surprise though. He pisses on the Constitution constantly.
  • There he goes threatening half the country with the F-15 thing.
  • He should probably join us in this century though. The military hasn’t used F-15s in while. We even stopped using F-16s. We use F-18s which are being replaced with F-35s so, at least, threaten us with the right attack planes.
  • Protection of family is ensuring safety. Depending of government is giving up that ability to protect our families.
  • Finally, freedom does mean life can be dangerous.

The Projection is Strong

Rachel Maddow thought the same thing:

I’m worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to “root out” what he’s described in subhuman terms as his “enemy from within.” Again, history is helpful here. He’s not joking when he says this stuff, and we’ve seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda.

I think there’s a little bit of head-in-the-sand complacency that Trump only intends to go after individual people he has already singled out. Do you really think he plans to stop at well-known liberals?

It also seems pretty clear that some people in politics might think they’ll be on the safe side — that they might even benefit from it — if they side with Trump. Ask Mike Pence about how that works out in the end.

When Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military against civilians on his first day in office, do you think he then rescinds the order on day two?

Regulations Like This Are Why Businesses are Leaving

According to KTLA Channel 5 News:

Bars and nightclubs throughout the state will be required to offer drug testing kits when a new state law goes into effect next month.

California Assembly Bill 1013 aims to protect consumers from becoming victims of date-rape drugs and “roofies.”

Beginning July 1, businesses with Type 48 licenses — issued to establishments that sell beer, wine and liquor for consumption on business property — will need to offer drug testing kits and prominently display signage informing customers about their availability.

According to the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, the signs will need to read: “Don’t get roofied! Drink spiking drug test kits available here. Ask a staff member for details.”

About 2,400 businesses across the state will be required to offer the testing kits, which will need to be made available for purchase at a “reasonable” price or provided free of charge. License holders and businesses will need to obtain the testing kits on their own dime, ABC officials said.

Drug testing devices come in various forms, including test strips, stickers and straws, which are capable of detecting controlled substances in drinks. Controlled substances include known date-rape drugs flunitrazepam (rohypnol), gamma hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and ketamine.

Episode 906 – Even So, She’s Still Dumb!

It doesn’t matter, AOC is still an idiot.

We finally have an idea why a girl saying she is a man decided to kill 6 people in a school in Nashville. No wonder the media hid it.

And California is still a craphole.

But This Isn’t Important

According to the Post Millennial:

Trans school shooter Audrey Hale who murdered three children and three staff members at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tenn. left behind a journal in which she discussed her “imaginary penis” and her need to see a “trans doctor.” She also wrote entries commemorating the Columbine Colorado school shooting.

“April of ’99—the year Columbine was born… (04/20/1999),” she wrote. She also commemorated the birthdays of the two Columbine school shooters. In another post, she lamented “So now in America, it makes one a criminal to have a gun or, be transgender, or non-binary,” she added “God I hate those sh*thead politicians.”

Only 19 days before the disturbed young woman drove to the school, made her way inside and opened fire, she wrote in her journal “I need a trans doctor.” As reported by the Tennessee Star based on a review of the writings, the entry was dated March 8, 2023. The outlet has been engaged in a lawsuit to force the release of Hale’s writing and documents.

“I need a trans doctor,” the entry read. “This female gender role makes me want to not exist,” she wrote.

“No,” Hale wrote after scratching out a word completely, “to be completely gone in physical form… off the face of the earth.”

“My therapist now is the best I could get 4 help,” she wrote later down on the same page. “My autism.” She drew puzzle pieces symbolizing autism as well.

In another entry she wrote “My penis exists in my head. I swear to god I’m male.” She wrote that she was interested in having sex with women as a male. She discussed sex with stuffed animals, saying “I can pretend to be them [and] do the things boys do [and] experience my boy self as Tony,” the Star reports the journal reading. She said her “stuffed boy doll” was “like the boy I am in another form.”

Hale was concerned that she spent too much time in fantasies, writing “God, I am such a pervert. I waste too much time in my fantasies.”

She recalled her fear over “being called a dyke or a f*ggot” before she discovered the possibility for being trans in her early 20s, the Star reports. hale said being raised female was “torture.”

“I finally found the answer—that changing one’s gender is possible,” she wrote, noting that her mother was not happy about his plan. “What she believes, how she grew up, conservatively, and that LGBTQ – especially transgender – was an enigma, nearly non-existent,” she wrote, per the Star.

She also wrote about using the name Aiden and how when using it in a job application she ran into trouble due to background checks.

It was also reported she was on a cocktail of anti-depressant. The report stated:

[The shooter] was given access to Buspirone, Lexapro or Escitalopram, Hydroxyzine, and a sodium chloride nasal spray. … Lexapro or Escitalopram is a depression medication from the family of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Common side effects for Lexapro include ‘mood swings, headache, tiredness, sleep changes, and brief feelings similar to electric shock.’

…using Lexapro and Buspirone simultaneously, or Lexapro and Hydroxyzine simultaneously, can ‘increase the risk of side effects’ from both Lexapro and the other drugs.

So, let me ask you this: Does it sound like any type of “affirming care” would have been good for this person?

F-ing California!

According to the Post Millennial:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new budget proposal would cut law enforcement and judicial funding by nearly $200 million to help close the state’s massive budget deficit of at least $45 billion.

This comes despite the Golden State struggling to contain its existential public safety crisis following the defunding of law enforcement agencies in 2020, which has resulted in a mass exodus of businesses and residents over the past several years.

Newsom’s proposed budget would cut $97 million for trial court operations, $10 million to the Department of Justice’s Division of Law Enforcement, and over $80 million to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, per Fox News.

When pressed about the proposed budget cuts, a spokesperson for Newsom gloated about the Democrat governor’s “record investments in law enforcement” since he took office in 2019, “including $1.1 billion to tackle crime, support police, and hold criminals accountable.” However, that funding only came after the failures that came from defunding the police, a movement backed by Democrat lawmakers.

Major national retailers and local businesses in California continue to report that they are still experiencing theft and other criminal activity. Videos of large-scale thefts, in which groups of individuals boldly enter stores and steal goods in plain sight, continue to go viral.

We’re Eating at Home

According to the New York Post:

California fast food restaurants have slashed nearly 10,000 jobs because of the state’s new $20 minimum wage as struggling franchises cut labor costs and raise prices to survive, a major trade group said Thursday.

The California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) slammed  Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for pushing through the law, which went into effect April 1 – and was blamed for forcing one beloved taco chain to shutter 48 locations in the state last week.

Several major chains – including McDonald’s, Burger King, and even low-cost favorite In-N-Out Burger – jacked up prices to offset the higher wages.

Many had to cut employee hours and some have expedited a move to automation.

Rubio’s California Grill, known for its fish tacos, closed 48 of its nearly 134 locations at the end of May – the first major chain to fall victim to the new law. The San Diego-based company cited the “rising cost of doing business” in the state for the closures. The chain filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday.

Another fast food restaurant, Fosters Freeze, recently closed a location near Fresno, saying the franchise owner could no longer afford to pay workers the upgraded salaries.

Fast food restaurants –  already bearing the brunt of persistently high inflation – raised prices ahead of the new law or shortly after it went into effect.

Beverages at Starbucks stores in California were 50 cents more expensive after April 1, while Taco Bell raised menu prices by 3%, according to a recent report from Kalinowski Equity Research.

Marcus Walberg, whose family runs four Fatburger franchises in Los Angeles, told Business Insider in January that he was planning to raise menu prices between 8% and 10% in response to the new law.

Chick-fil-A prices spiked 10.6% between mid-February and mid-April, according to data from Gordon Haskett.

A recent survey conducted by LendingTree found 78% of consumers now consider fast food to be a “luxury” purchase due to how expensive the meals have become.

Episode 905 – He Might Have Pooped His Pants

More news comes out about the economy. It is not good despite what the president is saying. Even the media is calling it out.

Israel makes a brave move to rescue hostages and the media refuses to allow any celebration.

And Joe Biden makes an ass out of himself in Europe.

Not as Good as It Sounds

Here’s is more news about the economy:

  • What you are hearing: The jobs report indicating that 272,000 jobs were added to the economy in the month of May.
  • Unemployment his 4% for the first time since January, 2022.
  • This is the third consecutive month unemployment has gone up.
  • 68,000 added in healthcare which is government based.
  • 43,000 added in government jobs.
  • 42,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality.
  • Of those jobs added to the workforce, only 81,400 were from private production and nonsupervisory employees, translating to that the majority of jobs added to the economy are not blue-collar jobs, or part of the “typical worker” in the US labor force, as defined by the Economic Policy Institute and usually accounts for 80 percent of the labor force. These are not blue collar jobs.
  • The workforce participation rate also decreased from 62.7 to 62.5 percent over the course of May in the US.
  • Some in the US fear that the massive influx of immigration in the country may shorten the supply of jobs available to US citizens in an economy that many are struggling in because of high costs from inflation.

Dumbass of the Day

This is Progress!

Israel took big action and rescued four hostages being held in Gaza. Here is what we know:

  • Israeli special forces on the ground were supported by airstrikes as they raided two Hamas locations in central Gaza, rescuing three Israelis at one location and finding the fourth hostage at the second location.
  • It has been reported that the hostages were being secured by Palestinian civilians.
  • The hostages have been identified as Noa Argamani, 25; Almog Meir Jan, 21; Andrey Kozlov, 27; and Shlomi Ziv, 40. All four hostages are in good condition, according to the IDF.
  • The mission marks the most successful hostage rescue operation for the IDF since Hamas captured at least 250 people from Israel during its October 7 terrorist attack.
  • In February, the IDF rescued two Israeli hostages — Fernando Marman, 61, and Louis Har, 71 — who were being held by Hamas in Rafah.
  • The rescue mission had been planned by the IDF for weeks.
  • Some of the rescue was filmed.
  • Hamas has killed 60 hostages since its October 7 attack, according to Israel. Only 19 of the bodies have been brought back to Israel from Gaza.
  • Three of the four Israeli hostages who were rescued of Saturday were found in the home of a Gaza-based journalist who had previously written for Al Jazeera.
  • The hostages, who were captured by Hamas terrorists during the brutal and unprovoked attacks of October 7, were discovered inside the home of Abdallah Aljamal. Aljamal had written for Al Jazeera as recently as 2019 — although the outlet has said that he was never an employee — and had since been writing for The Palestine Chronicle and serving as spokesman for Gaza’s Hamas-controlled labor ministry.
  • Israel has confirmed that Aljamal was killed in the Saturday special forces raid that rescued hostages.

Of course, the media is showing their antisemitic side. They didn’t seem to concerned with the 4 hostages rescues of the fact that terrorists are holding the hostages in a highly populated area. They don’t seem too concerned that the civilians are helping Hamas hide the hostages. What are they concerned about.

According to the AP:

At least 274 Palestinians, including dozens of children, were killed, and hundreds more were wounded, in the Israeli raid that rescued four hostages held by Hamas, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire and responded during the complex daytime operation in central Gaza.

The killing of so many Palestinians, in a raid that Israelis celebrated as a stunning success, showed the heavy cost of such operations on top of the already soaring toll of the 8-month-old war ignited by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.

The Israeli bombing was “hell,” witness Mohamed al-Habash told The Associated Press. “We saw many fighter jets flying over the area. We saw people fleeing in the streets. Women and children were screaming and crying.”

My big problem with with the 274 killed was that only 274 of those terrorists were killed. It was also not mentioned that the civilians were holding the hostages.

They hardly mentioned the hostages. They didn’t mention that one of the rescuers was killed during the fire with Hamas.

Israel’s massive offensive has killed over 36,700 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. It said 64 children and 57 women were killed in the latest raid, and 153 children and 161 women were among the nearly 700 wounded.

Saturday’s events also affected fragile attempts to deliver aid. The World Food Program chief said they suspended distribution around a U.S.-built pier off Gaza because “two of our warehouses, warehouse complex, were rocketed yesterday.” When asked how it happened and whether WFP shares its locations with Israel’s military, Cindy McCain said they did and “I don’t know. It’s a good question.” It wasn’t clear if she was referring to the rescue operation.

I wonder, why is Israel attacking Gaza again? Why are these people listening to the Hamas Health Ministry?

Episode 904 – If You’re Going to Call It Racist, Know How to Spell It!

I know this is going to be a real surprise, but saying “good morning” is now racist. We’ll let the Rhoads’s scholar explain.

The Wall Street Journal releases an article proclaiming that Joe Biden is senile and everyone is flipping out. I just ask why everyone is flipping out.

And California continues to devolve into a craphole. You won’t believe what criminals are stealing now.

Dumbasses of the Day

We Can See It

According to the New York Post:

President Biden’s aides tried to blame “MAGA Republicans” Wednesday for a stunning report that described the 81-year-old as disengaged and confused in meetings — despite similar conduct being noted privately by White House staff and exhibited publicly by the commander in chief.

The Wall Street Journal led its blistering report about the oldest-ever US president’s mental fitness with accounts of three recent engagements with members of Congress in which Biden mumbled inaudibly, misstated administration policy or closed his eyes for long intervals.

“I’ll just say that it says a lot that the only people willing to make these false claims are Trump’s MAGA Republicans in Congress,” Biden re-election campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez told a CNN reporter on a press call Wednesday.

White House communications director Ben LaBolt feverishly tweeted and retweeted criticism of the story.

“What a surprise — Republicans employing their election year messaging strategy that contradicts their own prior words about [Biden],” tweeted LaBolt in one post, referring to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) once describing Biden as a sharp negotiator.

The Journal reported that Democratic members of Congress contacted for the story were instructed by the White House to call the paper back with additional talking points attesting to Biden’s strength, with Rep. Gregory Meeks, the chairman of the Queens Democratic Party, saying on the record: “They just, you know, said that I should give you a call back.”

Other congressional Democrats lined up to slam the story, with Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) tweeting: “Anonymous Republican sources didn’t raise these issues in real time, day after, or week after. Trying to do so now reeks of [a] political hit job.”

“Surprise, surprise — everyone attacking @POTUS is a Republican with an agenda,” agreed Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.).

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tweeted: “Many of us spent time with @WSJ to share on the record our first-hand experiences with @POTUS, where we see his wisdom, experience and strategic thinking. Instead, the Journal ignored testimony by Democrats, focused on attacks by Republicans and printed a hit piece.”

Just Keeps Getting Better

California just keeps devolving.

Because You’re Cheating

According to Fox News:

Veronica Garcia, a transgender high school athlete in Washington who won the state championship in the girls 400-meter race last month, complained about the lack of “sportsmanship” shown after winning the race and receiving a medal for it.

Garcia, of East Valley High School, ran the race in 55.75 seconds, which was one second better than the second-place finisher’s time of 56.75, according to the Pacific Northwest Track and Field Officials’ track scoreboard.

However, Garcia told The Spokesman-Review the lack of a congratulations from other runners at the meet “somewhat hurt.”

“I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So I guess I expected to get that reciprocated,” Garcia told the paper. “But I didn’t get that.

“I’m just a teenager. I wish people would remember that.”

The Important Research

According to the New York Post:

The long-held myth that men who own guns are … err, overcompensating for something … has been debunked by scientists in a new study published in the American Journal of Men’s Health.

Rather, researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio found that men quite satisfied with certain physical assets are most likely to have guns.

The correlation between the male sexual psyche and behaviors like buying big houses, driving loud cars and dating young women is a common comedic trope in popular culture as well a topic of legitimate sociological speculation, including the suggestion that men who are preoccupied with guns are also insecure about their small penis.

“Contrary to popular beliefs, our current study shows that men who are more satisfied with the size of their penises are more likely to personally own guns,” said study author Terrence D. Hill, a professor at UTSA.

In a previous study, UTSA researchers found no relationship between gun ownership and sexual dysfunction. Still, Hill’s team aimed to identify a direct link between penis size and guns for the latest findings.

Damn White People

According to the New York Post:

A reclusive tribe in the Amazon finally got hooked up to the internet, thanks to Elon Musk — only to be torn apart by social media and pornography addiction, elders complain.

Brazil’s 2,000-member Marubo tribe has been left bitterly divided by the arrival of the Tesla founder’s Starlink service nine months ago, which connected the remote rainforest community along the Ituí River to the web for the first time.

“When it arrived, everyone was happy,” Tsainama Marubo, 73, told The New York Times.

“But now, things have gotten worse. Young people have gotten lazy because of the internet, they’re learning the ways of the white people.”

The Marubo are a chaste tribe, who even frown upon kissing in public — but Alfredo Marubo (all Marubo use the same last name) said he is anxious that the arrival of the service, which delivers super-fast internet to far-flung corners of the planet and has been billed as a game-changer by Musk, could upend standards of decorum.

Alfredo said many young Marubo men have been sharing porn videos in group chats and he has already observed more “aggressive sexual behavior” in some of them.

“We’re worried young people are going to want to try it,” he said of the kinky sex acts they’ve suddenly been exposed to on screen.

“Everyone is so connected that sometimes they don’t even talk to their own family.”

Starlink works by connecting antennas to 6,000 low-orbiting satellites.

The necessary antennas were donated to the tribe by American entrepreneur Allyson Reneau.

Initially, the internet was heralded as a positive for the remote tribe who were able to quickly contact authorities for help with emergencies, including potentially deadly snake bites.

“It’s already saved lives,” Enoque Marubo, 40, stated.

Members are also able to share educational resources with other Amazonian tribes and connect with friends and family who now live elsewhere.

It has also opened up a world of possibilities for young Marubo, some of whom have been unable to conceptualize what lays beyond their immediate surrounds.

One teen told The Times that she now dreams of traveling of the world, while another says she aspires to become a dentist in São Paulo.

However, Enoque also complained of the significant downsides.

“It changed the routine so much that it was detrimental,” he stated.

“In the village, if you don’t hunt, fish and plant, you don’t eat.”

“Some young people maintain our traditions,” TamaSay Marubo, 42, added.

“Others just want to spend the whole afternoon on their phones.”

Tribespeople became so addicted that Marubo leaders, fearing that history and culture — which is passed down orally — could be lost forever, they have now limited access to the internet for two hours each morning, five hours each evening, and all day Sunday.

But parents still worry the damage may already be done.

Another father, Kâipa Marubo, said he’s anxious about his children playing violent first-person shooter games.

“I’m worried that they’re suddenly going to want to mimic them,” he stated.

Meanwhile, others say that they’ve fallen victim to internet scams given that they lack digital literacy, while many youngsters are chatting with strangers on social media.

Episode 903 – Really, They Aren’t After Your Kids!

It’s pride month and that means everything has to be gay for the next 30 days

Just know, they are not after your kids.

Dumbass of the Day

Speaking of Businesses that Want to Go Under

I guess it was not a coincidence that Disney decided to release their new Star Wars series, The Acolyte, during pride month. I also guess Disney is going to continue on their quest to go broke.

According to Pink News:

Actress Abigail Thorn stars in the new Star Wars Cinematic Universe (SWCU) show The Acolyte, which drops on Disney+ this week.

Thorn plays ensign Eurus in The Acolyte, which is set at the end of the High Republic era – approximately 100 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.

, the new show is a “mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers… [when] a former padawan reunites with her Jedi master to investigate a series of crimes, but the forces they confront are more sinister than they ever anticipated.”

Thorn will be appearing alongside Lee Jung-jae of Squid Game fameAmandla Stenberg (The Hunger Games), and Carrie-Anne Moss, who featured in The Matrix franchise.

Not much is known about Thorn’s character or how she fits into the wider narrative of the show, but as she is also known as a prolific YouTuber and a trans trailblazer, we thought it would be a good time to revisit what we know about her.

Yeah, this Thorn guy is a dude who likes to dress up as a woman. He looks like a dude. He sounds like a dude. On his YouTube channel he was a dude, then he dressed like a chick.

Asked about this, the star of the new Star Wars show, Amandla Stenberg (who is an LGBT activist and is gay) and director Leslye Headland (who is an LGBT activist and is gay) were asked about making the gayest Star War series yet. Here’s what they had to say:

C-3PO is a robot. I just want to point out these people hate their core audience.

So are the reviews in? The Acolyte has an 88% fresh score on rottentomatoes.com from critics but a 45% rating from viewers. What a shock.

Good for you Disney. You’ve spent $180 million on a new Star Wars series nobody is going to want to watch. Like the last three Star Wars series.

Time for Sanity to Speak Up

According to the Post Millennial:

A bar in Idaho has officially declared the month of June “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” and will provide free beer and discounts to straight people.

Old State Saloon in Eagle said they want to celebrate heterosexuals because without them “none of us would be here.” This comes as an alternative to LGBTQ Pride Month, which has been dedicated to the month of June.

Additionally, the bar put out a job listing for applicants to judge if a man has straight enough clothing in order to receive the special perks awarded on “Hetero Male Mondays.” Whoever gets the job will be paid $15 per hour plus a free beer, according to the bar.

Old State’s Saloon Facebook post elicited varied responses, with some criticizing the decision and others praising their efforts.

“Every day is hetero day. They’re not a marginalized group, they’re the norm,” said one commenter, Jenna Nash. “I don’t care if you are glad you’re straight but pointing out your heterosexuality during gay pride month is an affront, is othering and creates separation and discord.”

Around 25 people were banned by Old State Saloon after they received comments that contained profanity and disrespected the name of the Lord. However, one LGBTQ patron said he was elated by the bar’s announcement.

“I’m a gay dude and I think this is awesome. I am an ally to the often stigmatized straight male. I am also grateful for my heterosexual parents that made my life possible,” he said.

Despite the backlash, the bar’s owner, Mark Fitzpatrick, who describes himself as a Christian conservative family man, said they won’t be backing down.

This is What We’re Fighting

According to the Post Millennial:

A taxpayer-funded LGBTQ pride event in Lynnwood, Washington will feature a “kids catwalk,” in which a panel of adults will judge toddlers while they strut down the runway to sexually charged music.

One of the judges is Democrat state Sen. Marko Liias, who is the legislator behind SB 5599, which allows for minors to be taken by the state if their parents don’t allow them to obtain sex change procedures.

Also judging are Democrat Lynnwood City Council Members Josh Binda and Nick Coehlo, and former Democrat State Senator Maralyn Chase, The Center Square reported.

“The Fashion Catwalk Contest” will be from 2 to 3 pm and split by different age groups. The kids category is for children between the ages of 2 to 12, according to Lynnwood Pride’s website.

Participants will select a three-minute song of their choice. The list of song choices suggested by Lynnwood Pride are songs that contain sexually charged lyrics. This includes “Texas Hold ‘Em” by Beyonce, “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue, and “Supermodel – You Better Work” by RuPaul.

To receive taxpayer funding for an event, a city spokesperson told The Center Square that it must “provide a public benefit to the community.”

Up to $2,500 in “eligible expenses” (such as event rentals, artist fees, and promotion) will be reimbursed by the city to the organization. However, the organization’s receipted expenses must total $5,000 or more in order to qualify. Additionally, the city is advertising the event on social media and its website.

In addition to the judges, event speakers include Snohomish County Sheriff Susanna Johnson, a Democrat who recently unseated Republican Sheriff Adam Fortney. Snohomish County is also a co-sponsor of the event through its Office of Social Justice, which grants $5,000 of taxpayer funds to “organizations working to advance efforts related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.”

They’re After the Kids

According to the Daily Wire:

Scholastic is encouraging teachers to “disrupt the status quo” by exposing children to LGBT books this Pride Month, telling them they “absolutely know queer children.”

The children’s book publishing company recently released its 2024 guide for Scholastic’s annual “Read With Pride” initiative, which includes LGBT children’s book recommendations.

The guide assures teachers, caregivers, and “advocates” that “whether or not they are out to themselves or you, you absolutely know queer children and interact with them in your classrooms, libraries, and communities.”

“Books and literature are never neutral; by engaging with queer literature for children and young adults, you are disrupting the status quo that implies being cisgender, heterosexual, and allosexual are the default. You are showing children an expanded way of thinking and being that validates all children and all people,” the guide states.

Scholastic recommends LGBT books for children as young as preschool age.

Why do preschool kids need to know about sex much less deviant sex? Could this be for indoctrination?

The article continues:

The guide also lists resources for “supporting” LGBT youth and books, including The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that says it works to prevent LGBT youth suicides. The Trevor Project previously helped devise a model school policy that says schools should hide suicidal students’ sexual orientation and gender identity from their parents unless the student gives permission.

Gee, the same Trevor Project that supports drugging and mutilating children.

In a statement, Scholastic said:

“As a teacher, librarian, educator, or caregiver, how you interact with all children and teens around queerness matters. What literature you provide them with, and how you talk about both literature and identity, can have an immense, life-changing impact on the young people in your life.

“Everyone benefits from books with authentic representation of queer identities.”

The Backlash is Coming

According to the Daily Wire:

One of the country’s largest Catholic advocacy groups is launching an effort led by parents to root out progressive LGBT books aimed at children from libraries ahead of Pride Month, which begins Saturday.

CatholicVote, a nonprofit focused on promoting Catholic values in public life, will debut its third annual “Hide The Pride” campaign on June 1. The campaign urges parents to rid their local taxpayer-funded library’s children’s section of sexualized and gender-related books, especially those that are prominently displayed.

“Public libraries have long been a summer destination hangout where children and parents can go for free resources, books, computer access, and community. And as public spaces, they should stay that way,” CatholicVote wrote in a toolkit for parents.

“But during ‘Pride Month,’ many libraries fill their children’s sections with gay and trans books, images, and symbols – not to mention drag- queen story hours,” the group continued. “So we are equipping you to fight back and reclaim your library for your kids. We are going to ‘Hide the Pride.’”

The group is urging families to plan a library visit in early June where they go to the children’s section, take all the “Pride Month” books off the display shelves, check them out at the front desk, and go home and place the books on a shelf out of reach of children. The library books should be returned on time later, the group says.

One person should also be designated to film during the library visit in case library staff gives the group trouble, CatholicVote recommended.

Episode 902 – He’s Getting Desperate!

Joe Biden is getting desperate and it is time to change his policies to fake people out and get re-elected.

Joe Biden lies again about Israel.

And OPEC wants Trump back.

He Is Such a Liar

Here’s the three phase plan:

Phase 1

  • A complete ceasefire
  • Withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas in Gaza
  • Release of some hostages and some remains of hostages
  • Palestinian civilians can return to their homes in Gaza
  • A surge in humanitarian aid

Phase 2

  • A permanent end to hostilities
  • Exchange for the release of remaining living hostages
  • Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza

Phase 3

  • Major reconstruction plan for Gaza
  • Final remains of hostages are returned to their families

Did Israel actually agree to this? Well, turns out no.

According to the Daily Wire:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office debunked a claim that President Joe Biden made on social media Friday afternoon when the president posted a proposal that he claimed Israel made to the Hamas terrorist organization to end the war in Gaza.

Netanyahu’s office debunked the graphic published by Biden, saying that its proposal allowed “Israel to continue the war until all its objectives are achieved, including the destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities.”

“The actual proposal put forward by Israel, including the conditional transition from one phase to the next, allows Israel to uphold these principles,” the statement continued.

Nearly 12 hours later, Netanyahu’s office issued a second statement that was even more pointed in countering Biden’s claims.

“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” the statement said. “Under the proposal, Israel will continue to insist these conditions are met before a permanent ceasefire is put in place. The notion that Israel will agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are fulfilled is a non-starter.”

What Biden is trying to do is pressure Israel to the negotiating table by putting pressure on Ben Netanyahu not to lose American support.

You Know He’s Losing Now

According to CNN:

President Joe Biden is expected to announce an executive order as early as Tuesday that would effectively shut down the US-Mexico border to asylum-seekers crossing illegally when a daily threshold of crossings is exceeded – a sweeping and controversial proposal that is likely to receive fierce pushback from progressives and immigration advocates.

The executive action, described to CNN by multiple people briefed on the order, would mark a significant attempt by Biden to address head on one of his biggest political vulnerabilities, just weeks before the first presidential debate with former President Donald Trump. Trump has made hard-line immigration policies a cornerstone of his campaign.

The executive order uses an authority known as “212(f)” – a regulation used under the Trump administration and widely denounced at the time by Democrats.

The executive action, which has been in the works for months, would severely restrict migrants from seeking asylum at the US southern border if they crossed the border unlawfully once daily encounters between ports of entry reached 2,500, meaning that the measure is likely to almost immediately take effect. Migrants could still request an appointment to present their asylum claim at a port of entry.

Unaccompanied children would be exempt – a key piece of the executive order that would worry immigration advocates who have said such an exemption could encourage some families to send children to the border on their own.

The executive action would allow authorities to turn away migrants while in effect either to Mexico or their origin country. The US previously worked with Mexico when a Covid-19-era border restriction, known as Title 42, also resulted in certain migrants being returned to Mexico.

Sources who described the order to CNN cautioned that changes could still be made to the text before it was expected to be publicly unveiled this week.

The action would mark a significant policy shift for the Biden administration, which has taken a more aggressive approach to border security after years of grappling with border crises fueled by record migration as it has attempted to blunt Republican attacks during a heated election year.

Bad News About Gas Prices

According to CNN:

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies — a group of leading oil producers known as OPEC+ — agreed Sunday to extend production cuts announced last year into 2025.

The group said in a statement it would extend a cut of 1.65 million barrels per day, announced in April 2023, until the end of 2025. That cut was due to expire at the end of this year.

It is also extending a cut of 2.2 million barrels per day, announced in November, until the end of September this year, before it is “gradually phased out on a monthly basis” by the end of September 2025.

That cut was due to expire at the end of this month, and came on top of previously agreed reductions of 3.66 million barrels per day announced in 2022 and 2023 as the group — led by Saudi Arabia and Russia — tried to counter slowing demand and rising output from the United States.

The group also released its 2025 production requirements for member and nonmember countries, which were essentially the same as this year’s. The United Arab Emirates’ production quota increased by 300,000 barrels per day. The uptick “will be phased in gradually” from January through September 2025, the group said.

Sunday’s decisions mean the OPEC+ group will continue to restrict supply for at least the next 18 months but gradually start drip-feeding some extra barrels back into the market later this year.

Most of those in the Middle East want Trump back. This is why they are doing this.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/02/business/opec-oil-production-cuts-2025/index.html

He’s Leading Us to War

According to Daily Wire:

President Joe Biden has given Ukraine permission to use weapons provided by the U.S. that can strike inside Russian territory, U.S. officials said according to Politico.

The Biden administration has said Ukraine should not use long-range weapons to strike military targets much farther inside Russia.

“The President recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine is able to use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back against Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them,” one of the U.S. officials said, according to Politico, which added, “In effect, Ukraine can now use American-provided weapons, such as rockets and rocket launchers, to shoot down launched Russian missiles heading toward Kharkiv, at troops massing just over the Russian border near the city, or Russian bombers launching bombs toward Ukrainian territory.”

On May 24, the Biden administration announced it would send a $275 million military aid package to Ukraine, including ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS); artillery rounds; TOW missiles; and Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems, among other materiel.

Russian forces are nearing Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, only 30 miles south of the border with Russia. They started their offensive on May 10, after Congress passed a $60 billion supplemental package that included military aid to Ukraine but before the aid could be sent.

Episode 901 – The Biggest Mistake in United States History!

Donald Trump has been convicted of 34 counts of falsifying documents. Our country has officially become a banana republic. Let’s talk about it.

Trump Convicted!

A Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump of 34 counts of falsifying documents, all Class E felonies, on Thursday. He faces up to three years in prison. His sentencing date will be July 11.

After court, Donald Trump went in front of the press and said this:

Yeah. Don’t expect him to be too repentant during his sentencing hearing. I can’t wait to hear his words to the judge.

Alvin Bragg also made a statement after the verdict. It was as syrupy as you would think it would be.

Too bad he doesn’t go after rapists and murderers like he went after Trump.

I also want to point to the guy standing to the right of Alvin Bragg. That is Matthew Colangelo. He was the #3 in the Biden DoJ until he resigned last year and joined Alvin Bragg’s quest to get Trump. Do you still think Joe Biden had nothing to do with this conviction.

Joe Biden released a statement:

It would have been better for him not to be so arrogant about the verdict. So far, this verdict has backfired. He would have been better off saying the Trump should be pardoned. That would have been the unifying thing to do. But that’s not Joe Biden.

He also made a statement:

Well, I’m just going to say it no matter how evil I will be for saying it, but the trial was rigged. Just like the last election. More on that later.

We will talk about the rest of his speech tomorrow because it is important, but I think the fall of the Republic is more important.

But that wasn’t the weirdest part. Biden didn’t take any questions but was asked what he thought about Trump saying he was Biden’s political prisoner. Biden only gives an evil smirk:

Yeah, that became a campaign ad. More on that later.

The View

I couldn’t wait to hear from The View. You knew they were going to be gloating. Sure enough, I was right.

Here is Whoopi Goldberg announcing the verdict:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/hollywood-celebrities-react-to-trump-verdict-tears-of-joy

New Campaign Ads!

Trump knew he was going to be convicted. One he released right after he was convicted. It simple and straight to the point:

The second video was courtesy of Joe Biden. Remember that creepy smirk he gave after he was asked if Biden ran this trial? Yep, here it is.

That is a pretty powerful ad and a real bad look for old Joe.

It Ain’t Going to Work Out for Them

Well, so far, the prosecution is not working out for the Biden campaign.

  • In New York, Trump trails Biden by a single digits.
    • New Yorkers favor Biden over Trump by a 7-point margin (48% to 41%) in a head-to-head matchup, the Emerson College Polling/The Hill/PIX11 survey found
    • In 2016, Trump lost the Empire State to Hillary Clinton by a 22.5-point margin, and in 2020, Biden defeated the former president by 23.2 points in New York. 
    • A Republican presidential candidate hasn’t won New York in the general election since 1984, when President Ronald Reagan beat former Vice President Walter Mondale by an 8-point margin. 
  • After the verdict, the Trump campaign fundraising web site crashed from too much traffic.
  • When the smoke cleared, Trump raised $35 million in just 24 hours.

But, more importantly, this prosecution has changed the minds of some pretty important people.

Venture capitalist, Shaun McGuire, who voted for Hilary Clinton and refused to vote for Trump in 2020, just donated $300,000 to the Trump campaign. He released a very long statement explaining why he was voting for Trump. Here’s the introduction:

I just donated $300k to Trump. I’m prepared to lose friends. Here’s why.

Back in 2016 I had drunk the media Kool-Aid and was scared out of my mind about Trump. As such I donated to Hilary Clinton’s campaign and voted for her.

By 2020 I was disillusioned and didn’t vote – I didn’t like either option.

Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump.

I know that I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it’s the right thing to do.

I refuse to live in a society where people are afraid to speak.

Here’s What I Think

This case was an absolute sham. There are fifty reasons why this is going to be appealed. That is the primary reason this trial was not shown on television. Let’s look at some of the problems with the case.

  • There was no crime defined. There were 34 counts of falsifying documents with no documents presented.
  • The charges are misdemeanors normally, but Bragg used the Federal law to make the changes felonies.
  • These accusations occurred eight years ago. The statute of limitations should have expired.
  • This judge was not randomly picked. This is the third time he has presided over a Trump case or hearing.
  • The judge is partisan. He donated to Biden. He should have recused himself.
  • His rulings were partisan.
  • He prevented Trump from calling witnesses that would have hurt Bragg’s case.
  • He kept the trial in Manhattan, which is a very anti-Trump city.
  • His jury instructions made it that a guilty verdict could be reached without being unanimous.
  • He allowed Stormy Danials to testify even though she had nothing to do with the charges.

For those who say the Biden admistration had nothing to do with this trial, let’s not forget Matthew Colangelo. He worked as the #3 in Biden’s Department of Justice, he quit to join Alvin Bragg’s unit. That’s quite a demotion. Two month later, Trump has been indicted. This was purely political.

Episode 899 – The Fix is In!

Deliberations in the New York prosecution in Donald Trump is starting today. What will happen and what is the Biden administration going to say?

A tragedy happened last week and one part of the story is missing. Let’s see if we can figure out what?

And Donald Trump scores a big win in the Bronx!

The Trump Trial

We have some news on the Trump trial:

  • The trial is now in the hands of the jury.
  • They are weighing in on 34 felony counts of illegal payments to Stormy Daniels to sway the 2016 elections. None of this is a crime by the way.
  • They say these counts cover up an underlying conspiracy for a campaign crime. No one, including the judge apparently, knows what that underlying crime in.
  • The judge did say the underlying crime was not important.
  • When the jury comes back with a verdict, Joe Biden will make a statement. This is weird and is probably not a great look.

Something is Missing Here

According to the New York Daily News:

A man suspected of stabbing six people in Massachusetts and killing a man in Connecticut was ordered to undergo a mental evaluation following his first court appearance on Tuesday.

Jared Ravizza, 26, wore no shoes to his arraignment in Plymouth District Court, according to Boston ABC affiliate WCVB. He will be held without bail pending the evaluation.

Ravizza is suspected of killing an elderly man Saturday in Deep River, Conn., then stabbing four girls at a movie theater in Braintree, Mass. and later two McDonald’s employees at a rest area in Plymouth, Mass.

The six stabbing victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to survive.

Tuesday’s court appearance concerned the McDonald’s stabbings, in which Ravizza is charged with one count of assault to murder and two counts of assault and battery, the Boston Globe reported. He’s also charged with one count of indecent exposure for allegedly urinating in the restaurant drive-thru.

Ravizza stabbed a 28-year-old man through the drive-thru window while arguing about his order, police said. He then parked his car, walked into the restaurant and stabbed a 21-year-old woman, cops said.

Afterward, Ravizza fled the scene and drove south. Police eventually located Ravizza’s vehicle and attempted to pull him over, but he sped away. Cops gave chase until Ravizza crashed in the town of Sandwich, on Cape Cod.

Connecticut State Police said they responded to a disturbance call after someone, later identified as Ravizza, threw a shovel through a front-door window. Arriving officers found Feldman dead inside the residence.

At around 6 p.m. in Braintree, just 10 miles south of Boston, Ravizza walked into a movie theater without paying and stabbed four girls settling in for a screening of “IF,” police said.

“This crime appears to be completely senseless and random, perpetrated against entirely defenseless, innocent children,” Braintree police said.

Ravizza is charged with eight counts of assault for the Braintree attack. Charges are pending in the Connecticut incident.

Ravizza’s violent spree began around 3:30 p.m. in Deep River, where he killed the elderly man, later identified as 70-year-old Bruce Feldman, according to police.

Something was forgotten here. The guy is an LGBTQ activist that uses “she” has his pronoun on Instagram. This was reported by Libs of Tik Tok and Post Millennial.

It’s Almost Over!

According to the Daily Wire:

Former President Donald Trump drew a massive crowd at Thursday evening’s planned rally in the South Bronx — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) stomping grounds — and although some attendees had traveled from several states away, others were locals who had just come out to see what was going on in their neighborhood.

Trump had a permit for about 3500 people but reports were the crown was from 10,000 all the way up to 25,000. Who knows how many were there, but there were a lot more than what made Democrats comfortable.

This was done in AOC’s district. She had something to say about this and I bet Democrats didn’t want her saying what she did say.

Well, yeah. Democrats don’t want him campaigning. That’s what this sham trial is about. It’s not working. Everything Trump is doing in New York is becoming a campaign promotion from going to a bodega, to going to going to a Chick Fill A to those press conferences he has during the court’s breaks.

Not to mention, the Democrats are shutting his mouth and making Trump a victim of a corrupt system.

The Kathy Hochul weighed in on the rally. She had her Hilary Clinton moment:

These elitist Democrats really look down on all of us. It is a real turn off, even for other Democrats.

It’s Coming

This is from a news organization in St. Petersburg, Florida:

Notice, she didn’t ask any regular citizens of St. Petersburg about this “crime”?

Episode 900 – A Lot of Education for the Really Dumb!

There is a video out of NYU celebrating their graduations. Upon hearing their majors, I’m not sure what they are celebrating.

More terrorist attacks on the LGBTQI+-/Poop emoji cult.

And the pandering is strong in Joe Biden.

Dumbasses of the Day

These people are not dumbasses of the day. They are dumbasses for life.

Well, wait. Maybe the parents are the real dumbasses for shelling out the $200K for these majors.

Then Stop Painting that Crap on the Street

These guys are crying because a power washer needed to be used on a pride flag they painted on the street?! This isn’t an example of terrorism or a genocide, it is an example of what happens when cars drive. Even electric cars.

I also want to point out Spokane has a drug problem, a homeless problem and a crime problem. This is what is making their politicians weep like children?!

This is All He Has

So, Joe Biden is going back to the “he’s going to put you all back in chains” bullshit. This is not going to work. It is rhetoric and hyperbolae. Nobody believes this.

Trump never attacked the BLM rioters. He let the local governments handle it, which is the right thing for him to do. They didn’t handle it.

There was $1.5 million in damage on January 6th.

The was $4 billion in damage during the George Floyd “peaceful protests”.

This statement makes Joe Biden look like a coward. I’m going to throw something at you. Tears gas should have been launched at the January 6th protestors and the BLM rioters. I have no problem with the January 6th rioters being thrown in prison. I have a problem with no BLM rioters being thrown in prison.

This comes after Joe Biden joined up with aging, has-been actor Robert DeNiro

Bobby must be going senile too. Donald Trump was president already and he did leave.

Also, this speech probably would have had more of an impact if he wasn’t reading it off a script.

Finally, this is not an argument to vote for Joe Biden. It is him screaming you shouldn’t vote for Donald Trump.

The only thing Joe Biden has is inciting hate against Trump. He can’t argue for anything else.

Yep!

According to the Daily Wire:

As President Joe Biden has been presiding over an inflationary spiral since he took office, the cost of a fast-food dinner has skyrocketed.

Fox Business notes that in 2019, a Big Mac sandwich at McDonald’s cost $3.99, but it currently sells for a whopping $8.29, according to Fast Food Menu Prices, which also reports that a BLT Footlong at Subway that cost $5.50 in 2019 can now sell for as much as $8.49. Chipotle’s chicken burrito in 2019? $6.50. Now it can be $10.70.

The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis posits that fast-food prices, which have risen faster than inflation, have soared more quickly than the salaries of most employees at their restaurants.

“A recent survey conducted by LendingTree found 78% of consumers now consider fast food to be a ‘luxury’ purchase due to how expensive the meals have become,” Fox Business pointed out.

Dan O’Donnell of the MacIver Institute noted on Thursday, “Prices on basic items like McDonald’s cheeseburgers and Chick-fil-A nuggets have risen as much as 200% in less than five years with dire consequences for the lower- and middle-class families who make up much of the fast food customer base. … This is not, as the White House has repeatedly insisted, the result of price gouging, but rather the shockingly high cost of wages and food production for restaurants like McDonald’s and Taco Bell.  Since their business model is entirely predicated on providing quick, convenient meals at low prices, they can ill afford to price their menu items out of the reach of their bargain-conscious customer base.”

“Fast food patrons are generally lower-income earners — many with young children — who rely on a quick, affordable meal before soccer practice or a band concert,” O’Donnell continued. “When prices at these restaurants spike from $35-$40 for a family meal to $65-$70 in just a few years, those families either have to sacrifice a night out or extend themselves just a little further to afford it. … When even fast food is slipping out of reach, it’s clear that America’s inflation problem is now a full-blown crisis.”

This is Not a Thing

According to CNN:

A flag that was on display during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol was flown outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s vacation home in New Jersey, according to a report in the New York Times on Wednesday.

Citing photographs and interviews with neighbors, the Times reports that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag was seen on display at his property last summer. The flag, which has a history dating to the Revolutionary War, has also become a symbol for supporters of former President Donald Trump. The flag is white and includes a green evergreen tree and the words “An Appeal to Heaven” at the top.

Alito and the Supreme Court did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, who has been a frequent critic of conservative justices, told CNN’s Kate Bolduan on Thursday that it “raises a serious question” for someone on the nation’s highest court to fly such flags at his residence and vacation home.

“I don’t think it’s a coincidence in this second instance. I think he’s speaking pretty clearly as to his political loyalties, and it’s a shame. When it gets right down to it, our courts and justices don’t have an army to enforce their opinions. They don’t have the money to establish an account for media control. What they have is the respect for integrity of the American people,” Durbin said.

It’s the second revelation in as many weeks about a controversial display outside Alito’s property. The New York Times last week published a photograph of an inverted American flag raised at Alito’s home in Virginia in 2021. Alito said the upside-down US flag was raised by his wife and was a response to a spat with neighbors.

The episode has drawn fire from critics, including Democrats and key GOP senators, who have called on the justice to recuse himself from cases involving Trump and the 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Like the inverted US flag, the Appeal to Heaven flag — also known as the Pine Tree flag — was seen during the attack on the Capitol.

House Speaker Mike Johnson faced blowback for displaying the same flag outside his office last year before assuming the leadership post. The Appeal to Heaven flag remains outside his office as of Wednesday.

Johnson told CNN on Wednesday that “it’s George Washington’s flag. It goes back to the founder’s era. I’ve always flown that flag.”

Alito, along with the other eight justices, appeared on the Supreme Court bench Thursday morning to announce opinions. Two were written by Alito, including in a contentious racial gerrymandering case, and he briefly read synopses of the decisions aloud.

Alito typically wears a stern, even dour, expression, and nothing was markedly different Thursday morning. After tersely reading from the text in front of him, Alito took a sip from his tumbler and leaned back in his tall black leather chair as usual. Nothing from him or the other justices betrayed the increasing controversy surrounding the high court.

The Alitos’ flag choices are gaining attention in part because several high-profile cases are currently pending before the high court involving the election and subsequent attack on the US Capitol, including the blockbuster question of whether Trump may claim immunity from federal election subversion charges.

Another case deals with a January 6 defendant who is challenging an obstruction charge filed by federal prosecutors for his role in the attack.

Some Republican lawmakers defended Alito on Wednesday, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz telling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the “entire hoopla is greatly overstated” and accusing Senate Democrats of trying to delegitimize the court.

“From the far left, the court is the one institution that they do not control,” he said on “The Source.”

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan echoed those sentiments, pushing back on criticism of Alito and two other conservative justices.

“Justice Alito is an outstanding justice. The left is always out to go after him, Judge Thomas — of course, we know what they’ve done to Judge Kavanaugh,” Jordan told CNN’s Manu Raju. “They’re all good guys, have done a good job on the court.”

He added that Alito should not recuse himself from the January 6 case.
