Episode 978 – Congrats to the Champions!

Inflation numbers for September are out. Which numbers are we going to see?

The Dodgers win the World Series over the New York Yankees.

And Happy Halloween!

World Champions

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics

According to The Hill:

Price increases have fallen to their lowest level in more than three years in the latest reading of the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, strengthening the outlook for more interest rate cuts to come.

The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index slid to a 2.1-percent annual increase in September, down from 2.3 percent in August and 2.5 percent in July, according to the Commerce Department.

Prices for goods decreased 1.2 percent on the month and prices for energy decreased 8.1 percent. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is down to $3.13, according to auto service provider AAA. A year ago, it was $3.47.

“While critics said we needed a recession to lower inflation, instead inflation has come down while our economy has grown more than 12% over the course of my Administration—the fastest rate of any presidential term in the 21st century,” President Biden said in a statement.

The Democrats are celebrating:

This ignores

  • PPI inflation – 1.8%
  • CPI inflation – 2.4%

A Crappy Person in General

According to the New York Post:

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz had a love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official during his teaching stint in Foshan that was so stormy, it drove her to the brink of suicide, The Post has learned.

Jenna Wang, 59, told The Post in a phone interview Monday that she had fallen head over heels for the now-Minnesota governor when he was a young high school English instructor in Foshan, Guangdong province, China.

Wang expected the passionate 1989 affair to end in a proposal — but instead, it resulted in a breakup that made her consider taking her own life.

“I was deeply insulted, hurt and I had to leave that place, because many people knew that we had a relationship,” Wang explained, saying that Walz had implied that he intended to marry her.

That included sending Wang letters after returning to the US over the following summer and even asking for a passport-size photo of her to be sent back to Denver, she said, implying that Walz was helping her to obtain a visa.

“His lack of character, as a man, a responsible person who had worked in education or [the] military,” she added. “I thought he also loved me. I loved him.”

Expect Far More of This

According to Fox News:

A group of 2,000 migrants making its way to the U.S. border could be the start of a wave of attempted crossings as the presidential election nears, according to one expert.

“I think whatever deal we struck with the government of Mexico to slow the flow leading up to the election to make the numbers look better for Harris’ campaign ends the day after the election,” Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center, told Fox News Digital, referring to the Biden administration’s coordination with the Mexican government earlier this year on executive action that allowed the president to temporarily suspend entry into the country.

The comments come after roughly 2,000 migrants departed from Mexico’s border on Sunday, according to a report from CBS Austin, with some admitting that they are making the journey now over fears about the result of the presidential election.

“Whoever wins (in the U.S. election) should not close the doors to us, [they] should give us the support we need, because we are all really going through a bad time,” one of the migrants told The Associated Press.

Ries expects that flow to intensify between Election Day and the inauguration if former President Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris, noting that migrants will fear Trump will do more to close off the southern border.

“We saw this for Trump’s first term, when numbers of people tried to get in before he came into office, because they knew he would be enforcement-minded,” Ries said, adding that a Trump victory this time would result in “quite the jump in numbers” for illegal crossings.

Episode 968 – HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY!!

The Left takes another shot at Donald Trump. Expect more.

Do you think the importing of illegal aliens isn’t about getting new voters for Democrats? Here’s a story that will go against that narrative.

And Democrats are getting worried about this election so they are talking more. That’s bad for them but really funny for us.

Happy Columbus Day!

Just Think About This

According to the Daily Wire:

The Biden-Harris administration announced on Friday that it was filing a lawsuit against the state of Virginia for enforcing voter integrity laws in the state that aim to curb illegal voting in elections.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, who has a history of espousing racist views, claimed without evidence that Virginia’s move to increase election integrity was an “eleventh hour effort” intended, in part, to “disenfranchise qualified voters.”

The DOJ claimed that it was doing so because it was “too close to the Nov. 5 general election” to remove voters:

Section 8(c)(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision, requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections.

However, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s executive order requiring that non-citizens be removed from voter rolls was signed on August 7, 2024 — exactly 90 days before Election Day.

The problem is the people who are being removed from the voter rolls are not, in fact, voters because they are not citizens, said Youngkin.

“With less than 30 days until the election, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is filing an unprecedented lawsuit against me and the Commonwealth of Virginia, for appropriately enforcing a 2006 law signed by Democrat Tim Kaine that requires Virginia to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls – a process that starts with someone declaring themselves a non-citizen and then registering to vote,” Youngkin said.

Youngkin said that the lawsuit was a “desperate attempt to attack the legitimacy of the elections in the Commonwealth, the very crucible of American Democracy.”

“With the support of our Attorney General, we will defend these commonsense steps, that we are legally required to take, with every resource available to us,” he added. “Virginia’s election will be secure and fair, and I will not stand idly by as this politically motivated action tries to interfere in our elections, period.”

Episode 964 – What a Huge Mistake!

Iran may have made the biggest mistake in their history yesterday.

The Vice Presidential debate was yesterday. You are going to be shocked with my take.

And we are entering Day 2 of the longshoreman strike.

Here We Go

Iran attacks Israel in a unprecedented missile attack. Here is what we know:

  • Iran launched 181 missiles into Israel. Iran said they launched 400 missiles. Who knows what is true.
  • It has been reported missiles landed in Israel, but the also fell back into Iran, fell into the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
  • Only one person was killed and it was a Palestinian from the West Bank. That will be the argument against attacking Iran will be that they didn’t kill anyone. Forget that missiles were shot into Israel in the first place.
  • At the same time (could it have been coordinated?) there was a terrorist attack in Jaffa, Israel. Seven people were killed including a mother protecting her child. The terrorists were killed.
  • Israel and the United States has vowed a response. Possible targets include the Iranian oil fields, oil processing plants, missile construction sites and the Iranian nuclear site.
  • Happy Rosh Hashanah. Why do we have a concern about military operations on Ramadan?

Episode 963 – RIP to Two Great Athletes!

The sports world was rocked yesterday with the deaths of two Hall of Famers.

Israel prepares for an attack by Iran. I’m not sure they have much to worry about.

And the NCAA might be getting wise about men playing in women’s sports.

Some News

Here is some news:

  • The dock workers are not on strike. The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), which represents 45,000 dockworkers, began its first strike since 1977 after its six-year contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX), which represents port employers, expired Monday night.
    • The ILA has said that it will exempt cruise ships and military cargoes from the strike and will continue to handle those to prevent disruptions to travelers’ schedules as well as national security.
    • USMX reportedly made a new offer to the ILA on Monday afternoon that would’ve raised wages by nearly 50% over the new contract as well as tripling employer contributions to retirement plans, better health care and kept language about automation in the deal.
    • The Union wants a 77% raise over the next six years.
  • Israel is preparing for an attack from Iran.
  • Pete Rose has died at the age of 83.
    • He is the all time leader in hits with 4256.
    • He was banned from baseball for gambling.
  • Dikembe Mutombo, a Basketball Hall of Famer known for his finger wag after blocking a shot during his career, has died, the NBA announced Monday. He was 58.
  • Former Democrat President Jimmy Carter turns 100 years old on Tuesday, earning himself the distinction of being the first president to ever live for an entire century.

This Is the Way to Do It!

According to the Idaho Press:

The Boise State volleyball team has forfeited its match scheduled for Saturday against San José State after The Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) reportedly sent a letter to Mountain West Conference schools urging them to take action regarding a player on the Spartans’ roster who is reportedly transgender.

Boise State announced the decision to forfeit the match Friday afternoon, roughly 24 hours before it was set to begin.

“Boise State volleyball will not play its scheduled match at San Jose State on Saturday, Sept. 28,” the school said in the statement. “Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Boise State. The Broncos will next compete on Oct. 3 against Air Force.”

Boise State’s statement did not mention the player, nor the letter from ICONS. Outkick reported Thursday that ICONS, which has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA over the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports over safety concerns, had sent a letter to the Mountain West and all of its schools.

“I applaud Boise State for working within the spirit of my Executive Order, the Defending Women’s Sports Act,” Idaho Gov. Brad Little posted on X, formerly Twitter. “We need to ensure player safety for all of our female athletes and continue the fight for fairness in women’s sports.”

More Winning!

According to Red State:

The satire site The Babylon Bee announced Wednesday that it is suing California Attorney General Rob Bonta over AB 587, a law passed in 2022 by the state legislature which, according to an email the Bee sent to supporters, “requires companies to give the California Attorney General’s Office regular reports regarding disinformation, misinformation, extremism, radicalization, and hate speech. The law allows the state to impose fines if companies do not comply with these reporting regulations.”

In other words, 587 is a completely onerous, possibly anti-constitutional attempt to control the media and dictate its narratives.

Bee CEO Seth Dillon explained on his Substack that proponents of the law are simply lying about its intent:

They’re claiming it’s just about “transparency.” That’s not true. This is a censorship bill, not a transparency bill. Here’s [California Governor] Gavin Newsom himself explaining why he signed the bill into law: “California will not stand by as social media is weaponized to spread hate and disinformation that threaten our communities and foundational values as a country.”

Newsom likes to run ads in other states claiming that “freedom is under attack,” and that California leads the nation in freedom. However, the well-coiffed executive oversees a legislature that has passed—with his blessing—two of the most anti-free speech laws in the nation, 587 and the doctor-muzzling law AB 2098.

Episode 955 – What Makes That Better?

The Navy has just made the seas more secure. Yes, I am kidding.

AOC has some competition for the dumbest person in Congress.

And I know we are worried about trans-ing the kids and gay porn being in schools, but there are more important issues happening around the world.

How Does This Make Thing Better?

According to CBS News:

The United States Navy commissioned its first coed submarine on Saturday, in a ceremonial event that the vessel’s commander called “a truly historic moment.” 

“Today, we commissioned our ship, and she is the fastest, most advanced, fully integrated fast-attack to date,” said Cmdr. Steve Halle, the commanding officer of the USS New Jersey.

“Our superior professionalism is enhanced by our crew integration and our diversity,” Halle continued as he spoke about his crew being the first to be fully integrated on a fast-attack submarine. 

The ceremony marked the conclusion of a years-long process to commission the USS New Jersey, which is the third Navy ship named after the U.S. state, succeeding the BB-62 battleship that sailed in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, according to the Navy. The event for the fast-attack submarine took place at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Middletown, New Jersey, the military branch said.

“USS New Jersey (SSN 796) is now commissioned and ready for service!” the Navy said in a social media post unveiling the sub. “The Navy’s latest Virginia-class submarine joins the fleet.”

In a video accompanying that post, the Navy described the USS New Jersey as the “first fully integrated submarine built for male and female sailors” in the history of submarines, which stretches back roughly a century. It said the vessel is “a symbol of progress” that is “breaking barriers as it protects our shores.”

A female crewmember appeared in the video and spoke to the value of this milestone for inclusivity.

“It is an honor that we are the first to have this slice of that particular narrative,” she said. A narrator’ voice added that the USS New Jersey is “a testament to the strength that diversity brings to our Navy.”

Fast-attack submarines are used for various Naval missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-ship warfare, strike warfare, special operations, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, the Navy said. 

Women were first permitted to join the Navy in 1917, and more than 60,000 women are currently enlisted, according to the military. The inclusion of women in Naval submarine crews was initially announced in 2011 and billed as the Navy’s “final, large-scale gender integration,” the U.S. Naval Institute said. As of October 2023, more than 600 women were assigned to operational submarines as officers and sailers, according to the institute.

This Is Real Shit!

According to the Daily Wire:

Western intelligence officials are reportedly growing increasingly concerned about Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons as new activity has been spotted at facilities that it used in the past when it was working to develop its own nuclear weapons.

The activity comes as G7 Foreign Ministers condemned Iran this week “in the strongest possible terms” for supplying Russia with missiles for its illegal war in Ukraine. The U.S. says that in exchange for the weapons, Russia is giving Iran “secret information and technology that could bring it closer to being able to build nuclear weapons,” Bloomberg News reported.

During recent talks between the U.S. and the U.K., top officials said that Iran’s nuclear program “had never been more advanced.”

Iran has continued to rapidly increase their stockpile of enriched uranium, in direct violation of the the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which would shorten the amount time needed to build a nuclear weapon to about a week if they decided to build one.

The Institute for Science and International Security said in a report last week that Western intelligence officials had provided it with information and satellite images showing new activities that are taking place at two former Amad Plan sites, which were key to Iran’s development of nuclear weapons back in the early 2000s.

“The two sites, Sanjarian and Golab Dareh, were central to the Amad Plan’s development of a sophisticated multipoint initiation (MPI) system to initiate the high explosives for spherical implosion in a nuclear weapon, to develop and test high-speed diagnostic equipment or their subcomponents, and to conduct a range of tests to ensure that the MPI system and diagnostic equipment worked,” the report said.

Officials said that the new activity was being conducted by experts who participated in the Iran’s previous work to develop nuclear weapons.

The new activity at the facility reportedly included “high explosive tests and technical research and development of a sensitive nature.”

Satellite imagery shows a significant increase in activity at the facilities throughout the course of the Biden-Harris administration as the U.S. has reversed course from the Trump administration’s hardline policies toward Iran. Activity at the site has picked up dramatically over the last year and a half, the report said.

Then There Is Russia…

According to the New York Post:

Russian officials threatened Western nations with an unchecked escalation of war  — including the potential use of nuclear weapons — and the all-out destruction of Kyiv, if Ukraine gets its allies’ permission to use long-range missiles to strike further into Russia. 

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov claimed that Western leaders had already decided whether to allow Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles and had informed Kyiv — forcing Moscow to respond with its own actions.  

“The decision has been made, the carte blanche and all indulgences have been given [to Kyiv], so we are ready for everything,” Ryabkov said, state-owned RIA news agency reported.

“And we will react in a way that will not be pretty.”

Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said Moscow already had the grounds to unleash its nuclear weapons on Ukraine as a result of its surprise invasion of Russia’s Kursk region last month. 

But Medvedev, who is now deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, said that Moscow could also use some of its new, non-nuclear arsenals to wipe Kyiv off the map. 

“And that would be it. A giant, gray, melted spot instead of ‘the mother of Russian cities,’” he wrote on Telegram.

The ominous threats came amid discussions between United States and Britain on whether to relax restrictions surrounding the use of Western supplied weapons.

At a foreign policy summit Friday in Washington, President Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed potentially giving Ukraine the green light to fire long-range Storm Shadow missiles supplied by Britain at targets deep in Russian territory. 

The leaders, however, did not reach a decision on any policy changes regarding the weapons, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insists are vital to achieving victory in the ongoing war with Russia.

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.

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 891 – Can They Invade Now?

Hamas continues to give Israel, and the world, reasons why Israel should turn Gaza into a parking lot.

It is beginning to look like going broke is a quest for Disney.

And I have another reason not to send your kids to college.

It’s Time. Seriously.

According to Fox News:

After President Biden gave his ultimatum of withholding offensive weapons to the Jewish state if Israel were to launch an invasion of Rafah, rocket attacks rained down on Israel on Friday from Rafah, with more rockets fired on Saturday.

Hamas launched rockets from Rafah at the southern Israeli city of Beersheva on Friday for the first time since December, as Iranian proxy Hezbollah sent a barrage of rockets into the northern Israel city of Kiryat Shmona, causing a massive fire. Within the Gaza Strip on Friday, four Israeli soldiers were killed.

“When administration officials attacked or berated Israel publicly previously during the war, Hamas hardened its demands in return for releasing hostages, in fact delaying and minimizing the chances of success of the delicate negotiation,” Jonathan Conricus told Fox News Digital. Conricus served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for 24 years as a combat commander in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

They Want to Go Broke

According to the Daily Wire:

The new Disney+ Star Wars animated series “Tales of the Empire” just introduced a nonbinary character.

Libs of TikTok shared the clip in question on X. “New Star Wars show on Disney+ ‘Tales of the Empire’ features a non-binary character that uses they/them pronouns,” the caption says. “Parents, make sure you know what your kids are watching! They’re after your kids.”

The article continues:

The “Star Wars” franchise has dabbled in radical left-wing gender theory before. Director J.J. Abrams bragged in 2019 that the film “Rise of Skywalker” would include a kiss between two women.

In the case of the LGBTQ community, it was important to me that people who go to see this movie feel that they’re being represented in the film,” Abrams told Variety at the time. “I will say I’m giving away nothing about what happens in the movie. But I did just say what I just said.”

In reality, the quick kiss accounted for less than one second of screen time.

Disney also added two “trans and non-binary” Jedi Knights on the cover for Marvel’s “Star Wars: The High Republic” comic series in 2021.

In honor of #TransDayofVisibility we’re proud to unveil and exclusive cover highlighting Terec and Ceret, trans non-binary Jedi, currently featured in Marvel’s The High Republic comic,” the official Star Wars Instagram account wrote in its image caption. “We support trans lives and we are passionate and committed to broadening our representation in a galaxy far far [a]way.”

Episode 871 – There Is Only One Surprise About the P-Diddy Story

A massive disaster happens in Baltimore.

More “Hollywood Culture” is being investigated by the Feds.

And Congress passes a huge bill in the middle of the night…again.

Terrorism?

The Francis Key Bridge along the I-695 that connects to Baltimore had a support beam run into by a cargo ship and completely collapsed. The whole thing was caught on camera.

Here are the details:

  • The incident occurred at 1:30 AM EST last night.
  • The bridge is 1 1/2 miles long and 187 feet above the ocean. The water is 50 feet deep and is 47 degrees.
  • There was an unknown number of cars on the bridge.
  • A crew of road workers were also on the bridge.
  • It appeared that the ship was losing power when it hit the beam. There are reports it was also on fire though one couldn’t see that on the video.
  • It was traveling at 8 knots which is pretty fast.
  • The cargo ship that hit the bridge was the Dali, a 95,000 GT Singapore-flagged container ship, the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore confirmed. There were 22 crew members onboard at the time of the incident.
  • During the press conference, it was said that there is no evidence of terrorism
    • It sure looked intentional to me.
    • Some are saying it could have been a cyber attack.
    • The government’s lack of transparency is the reason no one trusts their reports.
  • The collapse comes just two days after the 47-year anniversary of the bridge’s construction, which was completed  on March 24, 1977.
  • The FBI, local law enforcement, and Coast Guard are on scene. Navy SEAL divers are also on scene.
  • Pete Buttigieg has been notified.
  • A State of Emergency has been declared.

There Is Only One Surprise Here

Sean “P-Diddy” Combs had his house raided yesterday in connection with sex trafficking. The raid was conducted by DHS at his Los Angeles and Miami homes.

Combs was initially accused of sexual harassment, sexual abuse and rape of both women and men.

Then it was reported he was actually involved in a sex trafficking ring.

There are now reports on Twitter with some evidence that Combs’ private plane and heading to a non-extradition country. Who knows if this is true.

There are comparisons being made to Jeffrey Epstein.

Dumbass of the Day

Some things:

  • Massachussets was never a slave state.
  • If my church said the would do this, they would never see another dime from me.

Why So Late?

According to the Daily Wire:

The Senate approved a $1.2 trillion spending package in a bipartisan vote during the early hours of Saturday morning, sending the bill to President Joe Biden, who will likely sign it as soon as possible to avoid a government shutdown.

After passing the House on Friday in a 286-134 vote, the Senate voted 74-24 at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday to send the more than 1,000-page spending package to Biden’s desk, The Hill reported. Earlier this week, House and Senate leadership announced that they had come to an agreement to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal 2024, which is nearly half over, covering the remaining spending bills that were not included in a $460 billion “minibus” that passed earlier this month.

It’s been a very long and difficult day, but we have just reached an agreement to complete the job of funding the government,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said just before the bill passed. “It is good for the country that we have reached this bipartisan deal. It wasn’t easy, but tonight our persistence has been worth it.”

Twenty-five Republicans voted to pass the spending bill, along with 47 Democrats, while 22 Republicans voted against the $1.2 trillion package. Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, along with independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — who caucuses with the Democrats — also voted against the bill. Sanders cited a block of funding to UNRWA, an agency of the U.N., as a reason he voted against the bill, according to The Hill. During negotiations with Democrats, Republicans successfully secured the cut in funding to the UNRWA, whose workers have been connected to Hamas terrorists.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Tuesday that the final negotiations that were worked out between House and Senate leadership focused on appropriations for the Homeland Security Department (DHS). The $1.2 trillion package covers funding for the Legislative Branch, Financial Services and General Government, and the Departments of Defense, State, Health and Human Services, Labor, Homeland Security, and related agencies.

Some things:

  • There is a silver lining to this cloud. Republicans can’t be blamed for a government shutdown. That means we can concentrate on the crappy job of Joe Biden.
  • Don’t get me wrong, this is a bad bill.
  • It shows we need to get rid of bureaucracies (especially the IRS). Most of these government agencies are paid too much, are too bis or shouldn’t exist at all.

Let Them Be Kids

According to Fox News:

Many schools across the U.S. are rethinking their class schedules for April 8, 2024 — the day a solar eclipse will hit North America.

The eclipse’s line of totality — the areas where the sun will experience total coverage — will span 15 states, according to NASA.

The eclipse route will travel from Mexico, arching northeast from Texas to Ohio before reaching Canada and going back into Maine.

Many school districts, and even some universities, that lie in the direct path of the eclipse have already planned to close school for the day or cancel classes out of concern for students’ safety.

Some things:

  • There’s nothing dangerous about a solar eclipse. Don’t stare at the weird sun and everyone will be fine.
  • This is a teaching moment. You can teach a kid about whan an eclipse is, teach kids about the son and moon, and teach them how to watch an eclipse safely.
  • How are the kids (and college students) staying home going to make them safe? What is going to stop the kids from watching the gun at home?

This isn’t about keeping the kids safe. This is about the teachers wanting a day off. We know one thing, working 6 hours a day for 8 months a year can really take a toll on a person.

Can we just stop with the whole teachers-are-the-saviors-of-our-youth bullshit? They are a bunch of lazy, overpaid divas that are trying to indoctrinate our kids into the Left wing insanity.

They are not heroes doing an impossible job. Hell, they aren’t even able to teach our kids how to read or write.

Another Example?

According to the Post Millennial:

A trans-identified male has pleaded guilty to the brutal murder of a 12-year-old girl in Pennsylvania, and will spend at least 15 years in prison.

Ash Cooper, who was initially charged as Joshua Cooper but began transitioning after the arrest, admitted to the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Morgan Connors in Cooper’s family’s Bensalem, Pennsylvania trailer in November of 2022, the Daily Mail reports.

In a press release, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said the judge sentenced Cooper to 15 to 40 years in state prison and a consecutive seven-year sentence of probation. Cooper, who is now 18, was also ordered to “follow all the rules and recommendations of adult probation and parole and undergo psychological and psychiatric evaluations.”

At 4:11 pm on November 25, 3033, Bensalem Township Police responded to a 911 call about a possible homicide at the Top of the Ridge Trailer Park. Investigators learned that a juvenile witness was on an Instagram video chat with an acquaintance, later identified as Cooper, who had claimed to have just killed someone. 

In the video chat, Cooper, then 16, reportedly flipped the video image and showed the legs and feet of a person covered in blood to the juvenile witness. Cooper reportedly asked the acquaintance for assistance in cleaning the scene and disposing of her body.

When police arrived on the scene, they spotted a juvenile running out of the back of the trailer. They entered the trailer and found Connors, described as a “best friend,” deceased on the floor of the bathroom with an apparent gunshot wound. “There were also indications that substantial steps were taken to clean up the crime scene,” the office wrote.

Shortly after setting up a perimeter around the trailer park, Cooper was arrested.

Investigators said Cooper used a firearm obtained from Cooper’s father’s gun safe.  Connors’ cause of death was listed as a single gunshot wound to the neck and upper chest area. She was found lying facedown with her pants around her ankles and the gunshot wound to her backside.

Some things:

  • The callousness of this murder is incrdible.
  • They will now try to make this kid a victim of mental illness to let him out early. The defense will use his trans-ness as evidence. No, you don’t get to have it both ways.
  • He will probably end up in a women’s prison impregnating all the female inmates.
  • He should spend the rest of his life in prison.

Episode 856 – A Huge Victory!

Alabama gets a big victory in the war protecting unborn children.

Democrats are thinking of participating in election denial.

And Joe Biden is bypassing all of our government’s checks and balances, just like a good despot would do.

A Terrible Story

According to the New York Times:

A 26-year-old man was charged on Friday with kidnapping and murdering a nursing student whose body was found in a wooded area at the University of Georgia in Athens the previous day, the authorities announced. They called the homicide, the first in nearly 30 years on campus, “a crime of opportunity” and said that the two apparently had not known each other.

The victim, Laken Riley, 22, was an undergraduate student at the school until the spring of 2023 and then enrolled at Augusta University’s nursing program, which has a campus in Athens, school officials said. She was on Augusta University’s fall 2023 dean’s list.

University police identified the suspect as Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, at an evening news conference.

This individual is an illegal alien from Venezuela. He was released from custody when caught at the border. He was arrested in New York of endangering a child. Now he killed an American.

Finally

According to thew AP:

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled last week that couples who were trying in vitro fertilization and lost frozen embryos in an accident at a south Alabama storage facility can sue under the state’s wrongful death law.

Since then, three providers have paused the often-used fertility treatments while they sort out the legal implications.

The ruling is the first of its kind and extends a theory championed by some anti-abortion groups — that embryos and fetuses should be considered children and be afforded legal protections — into a new realm.

Dumbass of the Day

Election Denial

According to the Daily Wire:

Numerous House Democrats have signaled that they would not certify a 2024 presidential election win from Donald Trump, relying on the 14th Amendment to claim Trump is an insurrectionist and thus ineligible from holding office.

Democrats including Reps. James Clyburn (SC), Jamie Raskin (MD), Adam Schiff (CA), Eric Swalwell (CA), and even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies refused to say that they would confirm Trump to office if he won the 2024 election.

As Dan McLaughlin explained at National Review, Democrats could have the votes to sustain an objection to a Trump win if they take control of the House. “Only a simple majority is required, and unlike when the House chooses a president under the Twelfth Amendment, they don’t vote by states,” he wrote. “Unlike in 2016 or 2004, when they were in the minority, House Democrats could be playing with live ammunition.”

Still, a majority of senators would have to object to a Trump win, too. This would likely take 51 senators, and as McLaughlin pointed out, this would be a tough task for Democrats: They “either have to hold every seat they currently occupy (good luck in West Virginia), or take a Republican-held seat (the bluest of which is either Ted Cruz’s in Texas or Rick Scott’s in Florida),” he said.

Who’s the Depot Now?

According to Fox News:

President Biden asserting that the Supreme Court couldn’t stop him from canceling student debt set off social media users for his “assault on democracy.”

On Wednesday, Biden spoke at the Julian Dixon Library in Culver City, California, where he referenced his efforts to cancel more student loan debt. He noted that while his student debt handout program was initially halted by the Supreme Court, its ruling “didn’t stop” him.

Here’s what he said:

This is a man who does not believe in checks and balances. He does not believe in the rule of law or the Constitution. He is a despot.

Episode 855 – Just Keep Your Hands to Yourself!

Trans people just can’t seem to keep their hands off of people.

The death of women’s sports continues.

And a teacher is unjustly fired because she has a special place in her heart for pedophiles.

They Waited

According to the Daily Wire:

A high school girls basketball game ended in a forfeit at halftime after three girls suffered injuries in a match-up against a team that reportedly includes a male player who is six-feet tall and has facial hair.

The coach of a Massachusetts high school team, Collegiate Charter School of Lowell, ended the game early against KIPP Academy after numerous injuries, a press release from the charter school says, alluding to the school’s commitment to “inclusivity and safety.”

“The bench was already depleted going into the game with the 12-player roster having four players unable to play,” the press release reads. “When the coach saw three more girls go down in the first half leaving him with five players, he made the call to end the game early.”

“Once the third was injured, the remaining five expressed concern to him about continuing to play,” it continues. “The players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs.”

The school added that it supports the coach’s decision to call the game, notably emphasizing its commitment to “inclusivity” and “equity.”

“The Charter School supports this decision and reiterates its values of both inclusivity and safety for all students,” the release adds. “We take the standards set by the MIAA and our Board of Trustees seriously and strive to uphold them on and off the court. We also follow the guidance from the MIAA and state laws regarding equity and access for all student-athletes.”

That Wasn’t All

According to the Post Millennial:

A trans-identifying male New Jersey collegiate swimmer has set another school record in women’s swimming.

On February 16, Ramapo College of New Jersey Athletics posted to Instagram that Meghan Cortez-Fields set a new school record in the 200m individual medley with a time of 2:08.20 at the New Jersey Athletic Conference Championships.

Despite the school record, Cortez-Fields placed 5th in the finals. 

Male swimmer from Ramapo College sets another school record in women’s event,” Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer, wrote on X. 

“Now tell me again the strides women have made when society applauds a man for pushing us off our own podium. Title IX literally means nothing at this point.”

Cortez-Fields broke another women’s school record back in November. At a meet in Pennsylvania, Cortez-Fields swam the women’s 100-yard butterfly with a program record of 57.22 seconds.

This is the transgender athlete’s first year competing in the female division.

In 2022, The Ramapo News highlighted how Cortez, who identified as a woman at that point, applied athletic tape over his nipples because NCAA rules prohibit male swimmers from wearing swimsuits that extend above the waist or below the knees. 

“I choose to tape my breasts because I feel it is very uncomfortable and kind of dehumanizing to swim without a top,” Cortez said.

Cortez was allowed to use the general women’s locker room, but not the women’s team locker room.

F- His Pronouns!

According to Fox News:

transgender inmate serving a 55-year sentence for strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death filed a civil lawsuit against the prison chaplain for allegedly prohibiting him from wearing a hijab outside his immediate bed quarters, despite identifying as a Muslim woman. 

Autumn Cordellionè, also known as Jonathan C. Richardson, is currently serving out his sentence at the Branchville Correctional Facility, an Indiana Department of Correction state prison for men. 

According to the lawsuit filed Nov. 30 and obtained by Fox News Digital, a prison chaplain told Richardson the hijab was not allowed to be worn outside his immediate bed area. Richardson is seeking $150,000 in damages and the ability to wear the hijab “anywhere I go within the facility.”

“I informed him that I wear the hajib [sic] in order to cover my head and ears for modesty purposes, as I am an Islamic practicing transwoman,” Richardson said in the lawsuit. 

The chaplain then proceeded to inform Richardson that his listed religious preference is “Wiccan,” a pagan Earth-centered religion with a male god and moon goddess, “and I responded that I am an eclectic practitioner who is a member of the Theosophical Society in America,” Richardson alleged in the complaint. 

“I practice a diversity of faiths in order to custom tailor my spiritual beliefs to my spiritual needs,” Richardson said in the lawsuit. 

Richardson claimed his 14th amendment, or equal protection clause, was violated by the chaplain’s alleged refusal to let him wear the hijab. 

“Male Islamic practitioners are allowed to wear their kufis across the facility, and are not restricted to their bed areas only,” the complaint stated. 

He further alleged the chaplain violated his Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment and claimed he was subject to “harassment and ridicule” by other Muslim prisoners.

“He should be aware, as Chaplain, the stigma and shame that is attributed to Islamic women when they go uncovered and without a hijab [sic],” Richardson wrote in the complaint. “Women are viewed as whores, tempters of men, and adulterators; by Islamic society both in and out of prison. I have been shunned, made a social pariah, and amongst my own religious community.”

In First Grade?

According to the Post Millennial:

An Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that a six-year-old girl was not discriminated against when her teacher told her “there’s no such thing as boys and girls.”

The complaint was brought before the Ontario Human Rights Commission in March this year by the girl’s mother Pamela Buffone, who felt the statement, as well as several other lessons on the topic of gender, undermined her daughter’s sense of self as a girl and a member of the female sex.

But adjudicator Eva Nicholls dismissed the application, finding that there was no direct evidence that the girl, referred to as N.B, was harmed by the lessons.

“I find that N.B.’s Code protected rights were not breached by the respondent’s actions. She did not face the alleged discrimination, i.e., adverse impact, on the grounds of sex and gender identity.”

The incidents which led to this case occurred in 2018, when N.B’s teacher introduced her Grade 1 class to the concept of gender identities. She was prompted to do so because she had witnessed bullying and teasing of a gender-nonconforming student.

In a series of lessons which fall outside the official Grade 1 curriculum but are approved by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) as teachable moments, she read the book My Princess Boy, showed a video about pronouns called HE, SHE, and THEY, and made the statement: “There’s no such thing as boys and girls”. 

With regards to this statement, she testified that she had misspoken and later apologized to the class; however, it transpired during the tribunal that this apology took the form of drawing a gender spectrum on the whiteboard, with a boy at one end and a girl at the other, and all the other possibilities in between. 

“A girl can go to school knowing she’s a girl,” Buffone told The Post Millennial, expressing disappointment in the decision, “and come home unsure of who she is because schools are meddling with children’s identities by completely disregarding biological reality as a relevant and important personal characteristic – now with the full support of the HRTO.”

Buffone’s lawyer, Lisa Bildy said she was disappointed but not surprised by the decision. “Quite frankly, there is an irreconcilable clash of worldviews in our society right now, and that is reflected in the ruling.”

“Respecting the inherent human dignity of gender-diverse people, through inclusion and acceptance, is a very different goal than inculcating all children into thinking that their sex is a fiction or that they must have a gender identity,” Bildy said.

She Should Have Been Fired

According to the Post Millennial:

A Texas teacher has been fired after a video emerged on Tiktok in which she appears to be defending pedophilia, according to The Daily Mail.

Here’s the clip:

The article continues:

But not everyone agrees with the board’s decision. Some students are defending Parker saying that her words were taken out of context.

Ryann Ruvalcaba, a student at the school, told Fox17, “She [teacher] was expressing how it was ridiculous how we [society] might not be able to call people pedophiles. That we [society] will probably have to start calling them MAPs because it can be offensive to them [pedophiles]. The class agreed.”

Another person who initially defended Parker was board trustee Daniel Call, who said in a Facebook post that he didn’t think Parker was promoting or normalizing pedophilia, but instead pretending to advocate a position to challenge her students and prepare them to read the book, The Crucible, according to KFOX14.

However, after the investigation, he has since changed his stance and voted in favor of Parker’s termination, stating, “Any reasonable person that heard what the seven trustees heard would’ve voted to terminate Amber Parker.”

Jason Parker, Amber Parker’s husband, replied to Call’s Facebook post thanking him and saying, 

“I happen to be the husband of the teacher in question. I can tell you that we were shaken to the core about these accusations. It is both scary and disturbing that an edited 18 second clip could destroy a 30 year career when taken completely out of context.

“She is exemplary as a teacher and truly cares about the students. Needless to say we have spent many sleepless nights because of this cruel release to social media of the 18 seconds. We pray that you and the rest of the board will see this for what it is and not allow and edited video destroy an innocent woman, her career and her family in the process.”

Parker will have the ability to appeal the decision.

This Is Already Happening

According to the Post Millennial:

A Catholic couple in Indiana is appealing to the Supreme Court after their son was removed from their home over their refusal to use cross-sex pronouns for him. They intend to urge the U.S. Supreme Court to stop states from obliterating parents’ rights in the name of gender ideology.

“We are hopeful that the Justices will take our case and protect other parents from having to endure the nightmare we did,” the parents said. The child was kept in the foster care system until he aged out. Legislation of the type that was used against these parents is on the books in many states, with proposals in others.

Mary and Jeremy Cox are represented in the case by Becket Law, which stated that “On February 15, 2024, Becket and Hershberger Law Office filed a reply brief at the Supreme Court on behalf of the parents, asking the Justices to strike down the Indiana court rulings and protect the right of all parents to raise their children consistent with their religious beliefs.”

Indiana began investigating the Coxes in 2021, and found that the parents did not “affirm” their son’s false belief that he was female, and removed the boy from their care—never returning him. Instead, the state placed him in a home with people who called him by the wrong pronouns. The parents were also prevented from talking to their son about God or human sexuality during their visits. The courts allowed the state to remove the child from his parents’ home over this disagreement on the nature of biological sex.
