Episode 477 – Not the Hamsters!

California is trying to sink further into the NetherRealm.

Chuck Schumer tries to sharpen his poker face.

And Canada outlaws psychology, religion and parenting.

 

Citizens Suck

California is at it again and there doesn’t see to be anything we can do about it except quit.

California is looking into ways to implement universal healthcare throughout the state. That would give free healthcare to everyone in the state including illegal aliens. But the government has a problem. A big problem. The same problem other states like Vermont have had when implementing this type of failed program. How are they going to pay for it?

According to the Daily Wire:

According to an analysis from the Tax Foundation, Assembly Constitutional Amendment 11 (ACA 11) — which requires two-thirds of both houses of the state legislature for approval — would introduce “surtaxes atop the current individual income tax structure beginning at $149,509 in income,” a “graduated-rate payroll tax system with the top rate kicking in for employees with more than $49,990 in annual income” and a “gross receipts tax of 2.3 percent, excluding the first $2 million of business income.” ACA 11 would go to the voters for final approval if passed by two-thirds of the Legislature.

That’s right. They want tax us, then tax our income again and, if you work, tax you a third time. By the way, ignore the, “you won’t get taxed unless you make $149,000” garbage. These taxes are going to hit everyone and they are going to hit everyone hard. These taxes are going to cost jobs, close business and have people and businesses leave California.

Each household is looking to have their taxes doubled to $12,250. That moves the average tax rate to 18.05%. The average tax rate in California is 10%. For people making over $100K is 17%. By the way, the national average is 5.3%.

Amazing.

California has already lost a seat in the House of Representatives because people are moving out of this hellscape. Facebook and Tesla have already moved to Texas because of this hellscape.

Guess what? More is to come.

First Pelosi, Now Schumer

According to Fox News:

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday issued a stern warning to Republicans and Democrat defenders of the filibuster ahead of upcoming votes on Democrats’ election bills: “We are going to vote. We are all going to go on the record.”

Schumer, D-N.Y., made the comments immediately after opening floor debate on a piece of legislation the House passed last week combining two major Democrat-backed elections bills. He promised that the Senate will not only vote on the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, but also on whether to defang the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster if Republicans block them, as they are expected to.

Schumer said:

“As we debate these measures, the Senate will confront the critical question: Shall the members of this chamber do what is necessary to pass these bills and bring them closer to the president’s desk? Today we have just taken the first steps that will put everyone, everyone on the record.”

So what he’s decided to do is go ahead with a vote to end the filibuster when he knows it will not pass just to get the Democrats who will go against it will have to go on record. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin have already said they will not vote to end the filibuster. Joe Manchin wrote an article about it. Kyrsten Sinema has said it on the Senate floor. They’re already on record as a no.

Chuckie said he was going to have this vote on January 17th. That was two days ago. Nothing has changed. He doesn’t have the votes. Sleepy, Creepy Joe went to Congress and he was told to kick rocks. This vote is a waste of time.

Or is it?

This is going to have the wrong effect. It ain’t going to go the way Chuckie thinks it’s going to. Most people do not support ending the filibuster. When certain purple or purplish states see who said yay to eliminating the filibuster, I think those Senators will be under attack by voters in November, not these that said nay. Either Chuckie isn’t that smart and really thinks this will threaten Manchin and Sinema or he’s just giving up and throwing a hail Mary.

Or, it’s a bluff and there will be no vote.

Nancy Pelosi really screwed Chuckie when she sent the Build Back Better bill to the Senate knowing that it could not pass. Chuckie looks like he’s the one that is ball-less. Which he is. I think he’s doing this to shake things up.

I also think it’s a bluff. I bet, by the time I do this podcast, there will be no vote. If there is, it’s because Chuckie really is just stupid.

This Is Coming Here

This is great. It tells me, if we wanted, we could invade Canada with a Sesna and four harpoons and control all their oil.

According to the Daily Wire:

A new Canadian law called C-4 outlaws so-called “conversion therapy,” which is defined in the law as any counseling or advising against transgender or nonbinary identity or non-heterosexual sexuality — even if the young person or adult requests it.

“The new Canadian law, C-4, bans any counseling that advocates for the Christian standard that sex is reserved for one man and one woman within marriage,” The Daily Wire’s Morning Wire reported this weekend. “It also potentially criminalizes any instruction confirming that human beings are created as wholly male or female from birth.”

So, in other words, if your little boy says he’s a girl or gay, one can’t treat him psychologically. We’re not talking about waterboarding gay kids. I mean a psychologist can’t tell the kid he’s probably not a girl and he should wait before making any serious decisions about altering his physiology.

Abagail Shrier wrote a book called Irreversible Damage. It is about the societal impact of social media, media and education on the trend of girls becoming transsexual. Another impact she talks about is the psychological treatments out there. Many children go through something called gender confusion. It has been defined in the DSM-5 and is pretty common. Most kids, in ther past anayway, grew out of this. That’s because psychiatrists took on the standard recommendation of wait-and-see.

But, in the last five years, a new psychological approach has replaced the wait-and-see approach. That is called affirmation therapy. That therpy involves the psychiatrist confirming the child’s belief and pushing the child toward her feelings of homosexuality and transsexuality. This includes hiding information from parents, applying hormone therapy and, in the worst cases, body modification (mutilation).

Canada outlawed the wait-and-see therapy.

By the way, wait-and-see therapy found that most kids that thought they were transexual ended up gay. That was OK. But they avoided the hormone therapy and body modification.

But it gets worse. What does Canada define as “conversion therapy”? Here it is from the law:

(a)  change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual;
(b) change a person’s gender identity to cisgender;
(c) change a person’s gender expression so that it conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth;
(d) repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour;
(e) repress a person’s non-cisgender gender identity; or
(f) repress or reduce a person’s gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth.
See the problem here? Pretty vague and broad. That’s OK to Leftists. They like vague and broad because it opens up a wide array of convictions in the future.
Oh, yeah, the penalties. People can serve 2-5 years in jail for “converting” someone.
There are some major issues with this law:
  • Parents can be convicted. Just telling their child they are going through a phase could be considered a “conversion”.
  • It takes away the parent’s right to raise their child and do what best for them.
  • Parents can’t go to psychologists because the psychologist is under the provision and won’t risk jail to do the right thing.
  • Parents are not allowed to go to another country for psychological help.
  • The religious could be convicted just for telling the story of Sodom and Ghammorrah or reading a number of Biblical passages to their congregation.
  • It assumes that children are mature enough to life-changing procedures.
  • Affirmation therapy is not done anywhere else in the psychological and medical profession. If I’m bipolar, the doctor doesn’t say it’s normal to be bipolar and send me on my way. If a black child says she doesn’t want to be black but be white, a psychologist doesn’t affirm that and start skin bleaching the child.
  • This law goes one way. If a kid says he thinks he’s gay and I say no. That’s conversion and I can go to jail. But if a kid says he might be straight and tell him he’s actually gay, that’s legal.

The reason I bring this up is because Canada is usually one step ahead of the United States when it comes to policy. It won’t be long like laws like this are implemented in California and New York. Mind you, they are unconstitutional but that does not mean people won’t try.

This Is Why I Don’t Watch the NBA

On Monday night, billionaire tech entrepreneur and part-owner of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, Chamath Palihapitiya made some comments on a podcast about what he thinks about China and Uyghurs being kept in concentration camps. It is an amazing comment:

Understand something, the NBA is a Leftist organization. That’s why I don’t watch it and that’s why a lot of the country stopped watching it. This was a league that tore apart an NBA vice president for supporting Hong Kong but had no issue releasing hateful statements about Donald Trump and how racist the police in America are. The NBA is making its money from China and they need to keep China happy to keep making money.

As far as this country having its own problems, you know what problem we aren’t having? Forcibly sterilizing, jailing and killing a group of people because of their religion. Funny thing is the NBA says that the United States is bad because we are a “systemically racist” country yet the NBA ignores the real systemic racism. Hey, you can’t get more systemically racist than throwing people into a concentration camp because of their religion.

And what are we needing to fix besides systemic racism?

  • He cares about the grocery stores being empty. He doesn’t care about that. He worth a few billion dollars. Do you think he’s worried about where he’s going to get food?
  • He cares about our economy suffering if China invades Taiwan. Question, why? Might it be he has business interests in Taiwan and those may suffer if China invades?
  •  He cares about America’s healthcare infrastructure. Question, why? He’s worth a few billion dollars. Is he using government healthcare?
  • By the way, our healthcare in this country is the best in the world. The real problem with our healthcare is that the government has too much of a hand in it.
  • Of course, he cares about climate change. Something no one else really cares about. Question: why support China since they are the world’s leader carbon emissions? Wouldn’t it show you cared about climate change by boycotting China.

This guy doesn’t care about any of that. He cares about money. He cares about making more of it. That’s all he cares about. Now I do think this guy is a sociopath and a narcissist. But I think he is being truthful unlike many of the CEOs in the country that are also dealing with China. They don’t care about what China does just as long as they get their money.

This is the problem with this country. Greed has replaced empathy. Greed has replaced morality. Seeing how these (Amazon, Apple, Nike, NBA) continue to make money, they continue not to care.

I would have asked him a follow up question. We had a lot of problems during World War II. Should we have ended the Holocaust and fought Hitler or should we have left that to the Europeans and just kicked Japan’s ass?

Needless to say, these comments were not embraced. He later released a statement on Twitter:

That is not much of a statement. Actually, it’s infuriating. It shows his narcissism. No one cares that he’s a refugee. Then he lumps the United States with China. Wait a minute, didn’t he make his billions in the United States? Would he have done that in China or would he ended up in a concentration camp in China because he’s a Hindu? Which seems most likely?

This man is an example of what’s wrong with this country and corporate America.

More Victims of the China Virus

According to the Wall Street Journal:

Authorities ordered some 2,000 hamsters in Hong Kong to be killed over concerns that the animals may have transmitted Covid-19 to humans, one of the city’s latest measures to try to stamp out a fresh outbreak.

Under the latest order, authorities will cull the animals at almost three dozen pet shops across the city, including a store selling small animals linked to two recent Covid-19 infections in the city. One of the two infections was an employee at the pet store, while another was a recent visitor to the store, authorities said.

Health chiefs said the order was being made out of prudence as there was no international evidence that pets can transmit the Covid-19 to humans.

Anyone who bought a hamster after Dec. 22 should also surrender the animals, authorities said, according to local media. Close contacts of the people infected face two weeks’ quarantine under the city’s strict quarantine rules.

Frigging China.

I don’t have much to say this except I brought this up to Josie. We have this crappy little pug dog. It runs all over the house, eats everything and won’t sit when you tell her to. I said maybe Gigi has the China virus and that’s she’s such a little jerk. And maybe, in order to avoid catching the China virus again, we should get rid of her.

Yeah, no. That didn’t hook. She said that even though Gigi is the size of a hamster, she’s not a hamster. And, like a lot of my underhanded plans, it backfired. After this podcast, I have to go to CVS after and get a COVID test so I can test Gigi to make sure she doesn’t have the China virus.

Yeah, there you have it. The best laid plans of mice and men. Or in this case, of hamsters and pugs.

Again?!

Democrats are in so much trouble that they have only a few options.

They are going to lose big in 2022. They are looking to lose 35 seats in the House and over ten in the Senate. Over 20 Democrats have said they would not run in November. Nancy Pelosi redid her eyebrows and looks terrible and she is looking to retire next year when she loses her leadership post. Joe Biden is in such bad shape Congress won’t let him pass gas, much less, a $5 trillion bill, a voting rights bill or have a vote on eliminating the filibuster.

Oh, and he has issues getting through a sentence without falling asleep. His presidency is done.

Democrats are already looking for who they will run in 2024. Biden hasn’t even been in office for a year and we are talking 2024. Problem Democrats have is their bench is kind of short.

  • Joe Biden has a 33% approval rating and doesn’t seem to know where he is. He won’t run again. In fact, I’m shocked he made it this far.
  • Kamala Harris’ approval rating is lower than Joe Biden’s rating.
  • Pete Buttigieg seems to be the most popular candidate right now but he has done nothing during his political career. In fact, he is so irrelevant that he took three months off for paternity leave as transportation secretary during a supply chain crisis and no one knew he was gone.
  • There are talks about Micelle Obama running. She’s popular and speaks well, like her husband. She’s a woman and black. That seems to be a qualification. But she’s never shown interest in politics. During her reign as first lady, she read Dr. Seuss to kids and crap but she had nothing to do with policy. She not like Hilary Clinton who…

Whoa!

That’s right! Hilary Clinton is thinking of running again.

Episode 472 – Better Late Than Never

More bad news for the Biden administration and even the media can’t hide it.

The Supreme Court is in a big hurry today.

And the Biden administration may be finally conceding to what we have been saying for the last year and a half.

 

Dismal…Again!

More bad news for Joe Biden. The jobs numbers came out for December 2021 and they were a huge disappointment. It was reported that 199,000 jobs were created. Economists expected 420,000 jobs were expected to be created. The unemployment rate dropped to 3.9%.

This is panic time for the administration because those numbers are really telling:

  • This was before the omicron variant became an issue in the United States. Economists think January is going to be worse because it will reflect the omicron outbreak.
  • The report does point out that people who have permanently left the workforce or who have been without work for more than 26 week has gone up. This will also artificially lower the unemployment rate.
  • November and December are times employment should have gone up because of all the temporary hiring that was done for the holiday shopping season. This will also affect the January jobs report as these temporary workers are laid off.
  • We still have rising interest rates in March to look forward to. That’s going to cause more job loss.

This is a very bad jobs report. Very bad. Even CNN, CNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post are saying this is bad.

But President Biden continues to push the “everything is awesome” narrative that even his allies are hard-pressed to buy. Listen:

I love his positive thinking but…no. This was a horrid report. There’s no way to spin this.

Yes, 6.4 million jobs were filled. I hate that Biden says he created jobs. He has never created a job in his worthless life, businesses create jobs. But we were in an artificial recession because of the China virus and no one worked in 2020. There should be 15 to 20 million jobs filled. There are close to 11 million jobs open. We are suffering from a supply crisis because no one wants to work. People aren’t going to back work.

And stop with the unemployment rate. That is a bad indicator of employment because there are too many variables that determine that.

CNBC has an idea of what’s going on.

This is from what Conservatives call the Biden Effect. What causes it?

High Inflation (high prices) + High Wages (caused by staffing shortages) + Heavy Regulation (mask and vax mandates) = Employment Stagnation

This is what’s happening and people are calling it out.

We can something to that formula. That’s the Fed raising interest rates in March is going to further hurt businesses and employment. The elections couldn’t come fast enough.

Big Day and They Know It

Speaking of regulations, the Biden vax mandate is in front of the Supreme Court, as I speak. I’m listening to it and it sounds promising. We’ll go over it Monday because the Supreme Court said they wanted a decision by later today or tomorrow.

So far, it sounds like this is going to be a 5-4 ruling. Mind you, they’re still arguing. I haven’t heard John Roberts or Stephen Breyer’s questions but I did hear Neil M. Gorsuch’s questions and he is definitely against them. It could go 6-3 and possibly, 7-2.

We’ll see.

It’s About Time

The title of this section should be “better late than never.” Actually, that’ll be the title of the podcast.

A report was released to the Biden administration stating that Biden needs to change his domestic policy on the China virus. In a nutshell, the report is saying what everyone has been saying for the last year and a half.

The New York Times reported:

“The authors are all big names in American medicine; several, including Dr. Luciana Borio, a former acting chief scientist at the Food and Drug Administration, and Dr. David Michaels, a former head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, have held high-ranking government positions. The driving force behind the articles is Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist, medical ethicist and University of Pennsylvania professor who advised former President Barack Obama. They say the first thing the administration needs to do is take a broader vision, by recognizing that Covid-19 is here to stay. In one article, Dr. Emanuel and two co-authors — Michael T. Osterholm, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, and Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease expert at New York University — pointedly note that in July, Mr. Biden proclaimed that ‘we’ve gained the upper hand against this virus,’ which in retrospect was clearly not the case.”

Notice that the people who wanted the most mandates are now changing their position? The New York Times is a far Leftist publication and has been touting mandates since the beginning. I guess the “reporters” discovered how awesome Florida is and want the same thing in New York.

By the way, to the New York Times…duh! This virus is never going away. We’re going to have to deal with it. This is a tough position to take considering Biden said he was going to get rid of the virus.

The report stated:

“To be better prepared for inevitable outbreaks, they suggest that the administration lay out goals and specific benchmarks, including what number of hospitalizations and deaths from respiratory viruses, including the coronavirus, that should trigger emergency measures. The authors say the administration needs to acknowledge that Omicron may not mark the end of the pandemic — and to plan for a future that they concede is unknowable. They also make clear that the current rate of Covid hospitalizations and deaths is unacceptably high.”

In other words, let’s not worry about the number of infections. Let’s worry about hospitalizations and deaths. Again…duh.

Omicron is not leading to a large number of deaths or hospitalizations. Joe Biden is now beginning to admit this. He’s acknowledged that there is no federal solution and admitted today that we may have to live with this thing.

The pandemic is over. Time to stop all these vax and mask mandates.

Episode 471 – HAPPY INSURRECTION DAY!

HAPPY INSURRECTION DAY!

 

Happy Insurrection Day!

CNN and MSNBC will have specials on it today.

The New York Times has 8 opinion articles on it.

The Washington Post has 13 opinion articles on it.

President Biden is having a “celebration” of it.

The House of Representatives is having hearings on it.

Merrick Garland is still looking to throw President Trump in prison because of it.

What am I talking about? Happy Insurrection Day! That’s right, it is the one year anniversary of the riot at the capitol. Will all the great things happening in 2012, it’s hard to believe that it has already been a year.

So let’s go over this. I watched it live on television. I saw Trump’s speech prior to the riot. I’ve been following it and the reports for the last year. The reports that no really talks about.

January 6th was a terrible day. I thought that while watching it on television. I thought that the media was going to run wild with the thought that Conservatives were acting badly. Yeah, those Conservatives were wearing face paint and Viking horns. Yeah, those Conservatives were taking selfies in the offices of our elected leaders. Yeah, the stole Nancy Pelosi’s lectern and walked out of the building with it.

Why am I bringing this up? These weren’t serious people. They were a bunch of white trash hicks that hardly represent the Conservative movement. This was a riot, not an insurrection. We know this because the big players in this were convicted of trespassing, mayhem and destruction of property. Not convicted of of insurrection or treason. In fact, none were convicted of a violent crime against a person.

But there was violence. There was $1.5 million in damage to the Capitol Building. One rioter was dead. Five police officers were dead. There were injuries. Bombs were planted at the Democratic and Republican headquarters. Here’s the thing, there were a lot of questions about what happened and how it happened.

Now we know the only person who was killed was a rioter, Ashlii Babbitt, who was shot by a Capitol police officer who once lost his gun while taking a leak in a restroom. We know now that no Capitol police officer died due to violence from the rioters. All five died of natural causes or suicide. But the media lied about it. They said one officer died because he got hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. We now know that wasn’t true. He died of a stroke. A natural stroke, not because he got hit in the head. Mind you, this does not diminish the violence that did happen. There were 140 police officer injured.

But the narrative was set. This was a deadly insurrection. But there is a problem with that narrative: The only person who was killed was a Trump supporter.

Let me repeat:

The only person who was killed was a Trump supporter.

In the last year, we have had a couple of reports released. The Capitol police and one by homeland Security (supported by the Senate). Both those have been ignored by the media. Both have said that the issue involved the lack of police presence which is the responsibility of the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. It was also found that the mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, was offered extra support for that day in the form of National Guard, but she refused.

Hmm.

Here’s the thing and I have no more to say about this, Democrats are in huge trouble this year. They are going to lose the House and the Senate. They are probably going to lose the presidency in 2024 because of their crappy policies. They need something to strike the emotional funny bone of the people and that is Trump, who didn’t help this riot.

 

The Celebrations

So I waited to do this episode until I got to hear what Harris and Biden had to say. Of course, most of it used exaggeration or lies.

Here’s Kamala really pushing “the world is going to end” mantra:

The Pearl Harbor attack killed 2400 men. The 9/11 terrorist attack killed 3000 people. January 6th, one was killed. This attack doesn’t even rank in the top 20 of worst things that happened in the United States. Heck the Capitol Building was bombed once. The White House was actually burned down once.

This is just a disgusting comparison. People actually lost loved ones in those tragedies. What a way to minimize those deaths.

But she continues:

Some things:

  • Democracy was never under attack.
  • The election was not going to be overturned.
  • She makes politicians heroes here. Politicians aren’t heroes. They did their job just three hours later.

Then there’s Joe Biden. He did the same thing but, of course, he had to go after Trump:

Some things:

  • Didn’t the Obama administration spy on the Trump campaign?
  • Didn’t Hilary Clinton fund the Steele Dossier which led to four years of accusing Trump of being a Russian stooge?
  • He spent one minute and fourteen seconds trying to convince the country that we won legitimately. If the elections were completely fair and legitimate, why does he continue to defend himself and the election?
  • And this is the purpose of January 6th day. To bring Trump into the picture. Here’s the thing: Trump hasn’t been in office for a year. The only way Biden can look good during his presidency is to say how bad Trump is.

This next clip just shows how out of touch Democrats are:

Some things:

  • Stacey Abrams and Hilary Clinton bashed the system as racist and sexist when they lost.
  • The BLM and Antifa riots violated the law and were supported by Democrats including Kamala Harris bailing out rioters.
  • Joe Biden and his administration lie on a daily basis.
  • Before he can say words like this, Old Joe should look in the mirror.

This statement should be chilling:

What is he talking about? Is he talking about going after people who weren’t even there? This was not a planned event. The reports have said that. It was not really organized well. No one had any weapons. Could he be talking about going after people hold the same values as the rioters? That’s the big question.

The justice department has shown their hand. They went after the January 6th rioters but show no interest in BLM or Antifa, which continue to riot to this day. They go after parents who complain at school board meetings but don’t go after the gangs in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Chicago who commit shootings and flash robberies.

I think it is his statement we should be wary of.

 

What’s Behind All This

Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire summed up why the Democrats are “celebrating” this day. He released a rather long tweet that could easily have been an op ed, but there is more truth in this tweet than one normally sees. Let’s go through it.

Today is the first anniversary of January 6, a riot predicated on a falsehood pushed by President Trump — a riot which did not prevent the certification of the 2020 election by Vice President Mike Pence and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that the election was clean and that all Trump said were falsehoods. What Trump said couldn’t be proven to the point of overturning the election and he was incendiary during the months after the loss. He should have just shut his mouth and took it like a man. The reason? Because Republicans are suppose to be above the whining at losing unlike Democrats like Hilary Clinton and Stacey Abrams.

It was not a “coup” or an “insurrection,” nor was it charged criminally as such. It was not a turning point for the republic or a referendum on American political violence.

It is now being exploited by the political class to dramatically revise republican institutions including federalism and the filibuster. The outsized focus on January 6 by the media and Democrats is a pure act of political opportunism, and should be seen as such.

This is all true.

  • Chuck Schumer, on Sunday, that he is going to push for revising (getting rid of) the filibuster to avoid having another January 6th.
  • Biden and Harris said we need voter reform including mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, no voter IDs and automatic voter registration. I question this. Basically, they want to federalize voting, taking it away from the states. This is unconstitutional.
  • Question: Why revise voting procedures if this was the most fair elections of all time?

The game is to suggest that January 6 was a grave threat to democracy, and that the threat has now metastasized into a full-blown political program pressed by the mainstream Republican Party — and that this requires concerted Democratic destruction of institutions.

Biden is not hiding the ball. Schumer is not hiding the ball. Pelosi is not hiding the ball. If the question of January 6 had remained whether riots are bad, whether the criminals should go to jail, or whether we ought to follow legally-certified election results, we’d agree.

But the question has now morphed — and it morphed within hours of the January 6 events. The question morphed into whether the entire Republican Party and all of its voters could be saddled with the mantle of “insurrectionary violence.”

This is what is really scary. Merrick Garland made it clear that the people who made January 6th happen did not have to be there to be guilty. Basically, if one voted for Trump, than he is guilty of insurrection on January 6th. This is what the fascists did in Italy, the socialists (Hitler) did in Germany and the communists did, and are doing, in the Soviet Union and China.

Dirty little secret: not one person arrested of the 500 or more have been charges with sedition, insurrection or treason.

And the follow-on question became just how much should evil Trump voters be censored (Parler and AWS) or whether we should dispense with the filibuster to “save democracy” or whether we ought to federalize voting procedures like ballot harvesting and banning voter ID.

The crocodile tears from the Left about the woes of police officers on January 6 ought to be taken with precisely the seriousness they deserve, given their 2014-2021 quest to label police systemically racist and ignore massive violence against the cops throughout the BLM riots.

And the crocodile tears from the Left about refusal to accept election results ought to be taken with precisely the seriousness they deserve from the party of Stacey Abrams and “Russian election interference” and “Facebook is to blame.”

One need not downplay the evils of January 6 or the lies of President Trump post-election in order to recognize the game being played. Politics is always politics. Always.

One thing that Shapiro doesn’t talk much about is this is a deflection from the failures of leadership of this administration. Biden’s domestic, foreign and economic policies have all failed. This is an opportunity to blame Republicans for all Biden’s failures and continue with these failed policies.

 

Let’s Talk About Trump

Donald Trump was a catalyst. He brought back Conservatism. He brought back capitalist and democratic policies and showed they work. He brought back patriotism and condemned socialist, tyrannical and Leftist philosophy. He fought against the tyranny we see in Iran, Russia, China and North Korea. He embraced our freedoms. He embrace free speech, freedom of religion, right to bare arms. He loved law and order. He hated bureaucracy and taxes. He hated regulation on business. He hated political correctness and wokeness. He said what he thought and, it turns out, what most of us think.

I will go so far as to say, the Left made Trump President. He is the Conservative’s culture warrior.

That being said, I don’t want him to run again. In fact, I don’t even want him in politics anymore unless someone asks him.

Here are my reasons why:

  • He will be 78 years old in 2024.
  • He has great policies but a lousy and divisive personality.
  • People either love him or hate him. There is no middle ground. With someone else, there is a middle ground and an opportunity for a big win.
  • If he runs again, this January 6th thing is going to haunt him. If someone else runs, January 6th becomes a mute point. It should be a moot point now since Trump has been out of office for a year.

Republicans, especially those not in the federal government, have learned the art of cultural warrior. That is one of the reasons that someone like Ron DeSantis is so popular. It is the reason that Glenn Youngkin won his election in Virginia. Both of those guys do not need Trump to win. They just have to fight like him.

Episode 464 – Here We Go Again

Afghanistan continues to be a mess.

Bad news from the CBO concerning the Build Back Better bill, but it might not make much of a difference.

California continues to prove it is a crappy state.

And New York City wants everyone to vote whether they can or not.

 

 

Afghanistan Update

This Afghanistan thing, which no one is talking about anymore, just keeps getting worse.

Marine Gen. Frank McKenzie was interviewed and said that the ability for the United States to monitor terrorists in Afghanistan.

He said:

“We’re probably at about 1 or 2% of the capabilities we once had to look into Afghanistan.”

The AP reported:

Speaking at the Pentagon, McKenzie said it’s clear that al-Qaeda is attempting to rebuild its presence inside Afghanistan, which was the base from which it planned the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the United States. He said some militants are coming into the country through its porous borders, but it is hard for the U.S. to track numbers. …

McKenzie and other senior U.S. military and national security officials had said before the U.S. withdrawal that it would complicate efforts to keep a lid on the al-Qaeda threat, in part because of the loss of on-the-ground intelligence information and the absence of a U.S.-friendly government in Kabul. The U.S. says it will rely on airstrikes from drones and other aircraft based beyond Afghanistan’s borders to respond to any extremist threats against the U.S. homeland.

Combine this with our open borders and we will be looking at a terrorist attack within the year. Al Qaeda is getting stronger. ISIS-K is getting stronger because all of the Afghani security forces are joining ISIS-K.

The only good news is the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS-K are all fighting each other and there is a severe economic problems but don’t underestimate their motivations.

Believe it or not, though, a terrorist attack might be what the country needs in order to come together again.

Here We Go Again

Here we go again in California.

According to the New York Times:

California will once again require residents to wear masks in indoor public settings everywhere in the state, amid uncertainty surrounding the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant and rising case rates as the holidays approach.

The mandate will go into effect on Wednesday and will remain until at least Jan. 15, state officials said on Monday. The state will also require unvaccinated people attending so-called mega-events to show proof of a negative coronavirus test result from within a day, if it’s an antigen test, and within two days for a P.C.R. test, and formally recommended that travelers returning to California get tested within a few days of their arrival.

There is no reason for this and Gov. Gavin Newsom is getting crap for this. That’s because there is no evidence that Omicron is a threat at all. As of today, there have been only 43 cases in the United States with no deaths. In fact, throughout the world, there is only one death that they think might have been Omicron in United Kingdom.

Businesses throughout the state are complaining about this because many of them are recovering from last year and now have to set up limits on the number of customers in their businesses. San Francisco is complaining because they just ended their self-imposed mask mandate.

Masks also just don’t flat out don’t work. All Gavin has to just look at the counties of his own state to find that. Orange County (12 per 100,000) did not have a mask mandate while Los Angeles County did (15.9 per 100,000) and Sacramento County (16.8 per 100,000). Infections and deaths were higher than Orange County.

But let’s call this what it is. Control. Tyranny. This isn’t about the pandemic. With the discovery of the vaccines, the new treatments including a pill that will treat a person infected with COVID, the pandemic is over. Even if 100% of the people do not get the shots. The Left doesn’t want the pandemic to end and will continue to push these mandates to make sure the citizens continue to fall in line.

This Was the Plan All Along

New York City Democrats are trying to make sure that they will continue to win elections for the rest of time.

According to the New York Times:

New York City became the largest city in the country to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections after the City Council on Thursday overwhelmingly approved legislation granting the right to more than 800,000 legal residents.

The move places New York City at the forefront of the debate over voting rights, serving as a stark contrast to some states that have moved to add voting restrictions, including explicitly barring noncitizens from voting.

Surprisingly, Bill de Blasio doesn’t seem to be all for it. He said he thought the city council can’t legally do this and it would face legal challenges.

The city council did it because there are a lot of communities in the city that are majority immigrant and they believe politicians will be forced to campaign in those neighborhoods.

This is where I apply the Give A Mouse A Cookie principles. This is going to lead to illegal aliens to vote in local elections. Mind you, the Constitution does not allow for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. That’s one of the reason Democrats want illegal aliens to be given a pathway to citizenship.

Oops

Congressional Budget Office (CBO) showing that President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act could be significantly more expensive than he has led the American public to believe.

In a letter, the CBO stated:

The Congressional Budget Office and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation project that a version of the bill modified as you have specified would increase the deficit by $3.0 trillion over the 2022–2031 period (see Table 2). That amount includes three components: effects usually counted in CBO’s cost estimates (which are labeled conventional effects in the table), the effects of increased resources for tax enforcement, and effects on interest on the public debt. Under long-standing guidelines agreed to by the legislative and executive branches, estimates to be used for budget enforcement purposes include the first component but not the second and third.

What the CBO did was analyzed the cost of the Build Back Better bill over the course of all projects being extended for the whole ten years of the bill and not just based on “false sunset” for the programs that have made the bill cheaper than the $4 trillion it was originally.

What is a false sunset? Imagine the childcare program the want to run. If it cost $50 billion a year, over 10 years, it would cost $500 billion. What Democrats did was say the childcare bill will end, or sunset, in two years making the cost only $100 billion. Problem is once a program is implemented and people depend on it, it is hard to sunset that program without pissing off voters.

This is something Republicans, and Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, were pointing out and why they won’t vote for the bill. It also shows how dishonest Joe Biden is.

Jen Psaki decided to hold the line, calling the CBO report fake. Enter Peter Doocy:

Notice, she doesn’t answer the question. The score is not fake. What’s fake are the sunsets in the bill.

Here’s the good news: None of this matters. Next month, we are entering the 2022 campaign season. Nobody is going to vote for this boondoggle and then explain it to the voters during debates. Democrats are enough trouble.

It also appears that Democrats just don’t have the votes in the Senate. Joe Machin and Kyrsten Sinema are not going to vote for this and Joe Biden doesn’t have the poll numbers to convince them otherwise.

The New Narrative

Crime is going insane:

  • Thieves made out with $100K in watches in a smash and grab operation at a high end store.
  • A woman was killed in the normally safe city of Beverly Hills, California during a home invasion.
  • Fox News Christmas tree was set on fire causing $500K in damage in New York.
  • Philadelphia and seven other cities have exceeded their records for murder.
  • Chicago is at 777 murders so far this year.
  • Smash and grab robberies are hitting New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

What is the new narrative? Blue cities are saying that crime isn’t happening.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said:

“A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out. I believe it’s a Walgreens in California [that] cited it, but the data didn’t back it up.”

The numbers don’t add up? How about these number: Walgreens closed seven stores in the San Francisco because of crime.

Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot said:

“We also got to push retailers. I’m disappointed that they are not doing more to take safety and make it a priority. For example, we still have retailers that won’t institute plans like having security officers in their stores, making sure that they’ve got cameras that are actually operational, locking up their merchandise at night. Chaining high-end bags, these purses seem to be something that is attracting a lot of attention on these organized retail theft units.”

Last I checked, a store is there to sell things or provide services, not provide law enforcement.

Bill de Blasio, the crappy mayor of New York, said:

“Eight years I’ve been mayor, index crimes, major crimes in New York City down 11% over eight years. And we did it bringing police and community closer together. The bottom line is that there is today in New York City, a much safer city than we were eight years ago.” 

The murder rate is up 47% from last year.

Left leaning DA of Philly, Larry Krasner said:

“We don’t have a crisis of lawlessness, we don’t have a crisis of crime, we don’t have a crisis of violence, It’s important that we don’t let this become mushy and bleed into the notion that there is some kind of big spike in crime. There isn’t. There is not a big spike in crime. … There is not a big spike in violent crime. Neither one of these things is true.”

Philly broke their all time record for murders and there’s still a month left in the year.

So what’s the new narrative? There is no crime problem. We don’t know what we’re talking about. This is how out-of-touch Democratic leaders have become. The defund and demonize the police. No cash bail or light bail. Light sentences or no charges for violent felons.

The guy who burned down the Fox News Christmas tree was released the next day. He caused $500K in damage and lit a fire on a crowded street in New York City. He was released the next day.

One of two things is going to happen. Either these Democratic cities are going to become the wild west or there’s just going to be a political backlash.

Episode 453 – Happy Thanksgiving!

Getting ready to spend the afternoon barbequing ribs. This podcast is going to be short but straight to the point.

 

This Is Getting Old

This year’s getting rough for Jen Psaki. She is constantly trying to deflect for the President, even at times when she was not in the picture. What’s worse is she’s got Peter Doocy from Fox News to deal with who, honestly, seems to have fun making her squirm.

Here, Doocy asks Psaki if Old Joe is going to apologize to Kyle Rittenhouse for calling him a militiaman and a white supremacist. Her answer shouldn’t surprise you:

I do want to give her a break here. She wasn’t in the Biden administration when he said any of this so I’m not going to give her crap for not explaining why Biden ripped this kid. Where I will give her crap is the lie that Donald Trump never condemned white supremacy.

He did. A lot. He did it in a debate. He wouldn’t condemn the Proud Boys because he didn’t know who they were. It turns out the Proud Boys aren’t a white supremacist group, they are a chauvinist group. They believe in masculinity. Some would say toxic masculinity. But they’re not white supremacists. The founder and current president is Mexican. That’s the group Trump wouldn’t condemn.

Doocy doesn’t let her off the hook. Here he is asking how Biden could go to a billionaire’s mansion when people are suffering through inflation.

Some things:

  • Turkey’s aren’t $1 more. I don’t know what she’s talking about.
  • It’s not just the turkey. Ham is way up, baked goods are way up, sodas are way up (if you can find them), dairy is way up.
  • This Thanksgiving is going to cost 15% more than last year. That’s a lot.

But she doesn’t answer Doocy’s question. Of course, Doocy doesn’t put up with that:

Again, doesn’t answer the question.

The answer is that Biden is president, you’re not. He is elite, you’re not.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/psaki-on-whether-biden-will-ever-apologize-to-kyle-rittenhouse-its-trumps-fault

 

He Was Right

Remember when Trump warned what would happen if we started getting rid of the Confederate statues? Well, here’s a reminder:

Trump was right. And notice the difference of the press for him and Joe Biden?

The statue of Thomas Jefferson, which has stood for almost 200 years, has been removed from New York City’s Council Chamber. It has been sent to the New York Historical Society.

According to the council’s Black, Latino, and Asian Caucus:

“This Administration owes it to the more than five million New Yorkers of color our members – past, present and future – represent, to resolve that the individuals memorialized within the confines of our People’s House be reflective not only of the best traditions of our city’s history and its diversity but unquestionable character.”

Bill de Blasio said in a statement:

“The de Blasio administration will continue the progressive war on history as he, himself, fades away into a portrait on a City Hall wall.”

Thomas Jefferson did own slaves. He slaves when slavery was accepted. Blacks, in America, also owned slaves. Most of them because their indentured servitude expired, were given land and they bought slaves to help with their crops. That what The 1619 Project doesn’t tell you. Slaves were sold in Africa by African chieftains. That’s something The 1619 Project doesn’t tell you.

Thomas Jefferson also wrote The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, was the third President and denounced slavery as something that went against his words in The Constitution. That’s what The 1619 Project didn’t tell you.

Trump was right. But it gets better.

A statue of Theodore Roosevelt, which has stood in front of the American Museum of Natural History for 80 years, because the “statue is problematic in its composition. Moreover, its current location denies passersby consent and context.”

The statue is Roosevelt riding on horse with two American Indians running by his side. The Indians are trackers, leading Roosevelt through one of his soon-to-be national parks. How do I know this? I looked it up. Maybe some of these people needed to do that before moving this statue.

So now a statue need consent to stand there. It will be moved to North Dakota.

There are two question here:

  • Doesn’t New York have bigger problems?
    • Their murder rate is up 200%.
    • They have a drug problem.
    • They have a homeless problem.
    • They have high taxes.
    • Low standard of living.
    • People are leaving to the point they lost a rep in the House.
  • The second question is why?

Now, before, I used to say they eliminate American history. I was wrong. They are trying to replace American history.

  • While we are tearing down statues of great men who were flawed, we are resurrecting statues of people like George Floyd, who provided nothing to society except terrorizing it.
  • A Catholic church is under fire for putting up a painting putting the face of George Floyd on Jesus.
  • This guy was not Jesus.
  • Howard Zinn wrote an alternate history of the United States.
  • Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote and alternate of history of the United States.
  • Ibram X. Kendi wrote an alternate history of the United States and justifies discrimination against white people.
  • Critical Race Theory is an alternate of history of the United States.

An we’re hearing now on Thanksgiving. The Pilgrims violated the American Indians. That didn’t happen.

Episode 450 – What’s Taking So Long?

Nancy Pelosi dumps garbage on the Senate.

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is heading to a mistrial.

And I think it’s time for Merrick Garland to resign.

 

What Is Taking So Long

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is still going on. The jury is still deliberating. What’s taking them so long is a curiosity because this case is so obvious. Not only is there reasonable doubt about Rittenhouse committing murder but the prosecution’s own witnesses have basically proven Rittenhouse’s innocence.

And, let’s not forget about the hours of video showing Rittenhouse being attacked and defending himself and only targeting the people who were attacking him.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t things happening. Let’s go over them.

 

The Media

The judge, who has obviously reading the newspapers, has been heavily criticized by the media. That criticism includes:

  • Being a racist (Trump supporter) because he had a patriotic country song as his ringtone.
  • Being a conservative for wearing a tie with U.S. flags.
  • Being too hard on the prosecution and favoring the defense.
  • Letting Rittenhouse pick the jurors from the bin.
  • Not ruling on the mistrial requests.
  • Not allowing the use of the word “victim” during the evidentiary phase of the trial (he allowed it during the closing arguments).

Some things about this judge. He’s been a judge for 50 years. In that time, he only had one conviction overturned by the appellate courts. That’s pretty good. He has also been known as a pro-prosecution judge. The prosecution has screwed this thing up so badly, it’s not surprise he’s leaning toward the defense. He was also appointed by a Democrat.

He made it clear that he did not know if he would ever allow cameras into a courtroom again:

It would probably be a good idea if he didn’t allow cameras in the courtroom again. After the behavior of the media, we don’t deserve the transparency. It’s not like the calling the court case accurately.

 

Jury Intimidation

Though the crowds have been relatively small outside the courtroom, a pretty peaceful (only one guy was arrested that I know of), they are loud and can be heard from the jury room. They also have been growing as the days of deliberation increase.

Black Lives Matter and Antifa members have been seen there. This would not be a problem under normal circumstances but they keep talking about burning the city down again. I cannot see how this is not grounds for a mistrial or a direct verdict. This is pure jury intimidation.

The judge even had to pull a couple of spectators from the audience because they kept taking pictures of the jury. I’m sure those people know the jury members are worried about being doxxed.

 

More Signs of Corruption

There has been a ton of corruption by the prosecution in this case and it continues all the way to the end. Remember:

  • The FBI lost drone footage of the riot and when Kyle Rittenhouse was attacked.
  • The prosecutor question witnesses about why they got lawyers before speaking to them.
  • The prosecutor asked Rittenhouse why he would not speak to police after he was arrested. This is huge and might lead to a mistrial with prejudice. Even I know the 5th Amendment and the Miranda precedence.

But the prosecution did it again. They had a full color, HD video from the FBI and gave the defense a pixelated, black and white copy of the same video. The prosecution kept saying it had to do with the compression that was done when the video was sent. There were a couple of problems with this line of thinking. The video was not sent, phone-to-phone, it was sent via a drop box. Not conversion could have happened. The second problem is that the video name changed also. That’s not going to happen during the compression of a video. I was an IT guy and know this for a fact.

So I call bull crap. This is another reason this case could be judged as a mistrial with prejudice.

 

They Knew Who “Jump Kick Man” Was?

There was a picture during the riots of a tall black man jumping in to kick Kyle Rittenhouse in the head. They say they did not know his name and just called him “jump kick man”. He was important because Rittenhouse testified that he took a couple of shots at him.

Guess what? The prosecution knew who he was.

His name a Maurice Freeland. He has a record (there’s a shock). He said he would testify for the prosecution in exchange for immunity for an unrelated DUI. The prosecution declined and he just went unmentioned throughout the trial.

I’m not sure of the legality of hiding this witness. He was never brought up during the case so I’m not sure disclosure is an issue. A legal scholar on Fox News, Jonathan Turley, said it might be because the defense has a right to know who he is and there is a charge based on Rittenhouse shooting and missing him. At best, this shows how unethical this prosecutor is.

 

Frigging Media

This came up yesterday.

Apparently a freelance writer for MSNBC was following a bus that was carrying the jury. He got stopped for running a red light and then arrested for, what I think, will be called jury tampering. MSNBC got banned from the courtroom by the judge. Listen:

After a few hours to figure out how to put out that fire, MSNBC released the following statement:

“Last night, a freelancer received a traffic citation. While the traffic violation took place near the jury van, the freelancer never contacted or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations, and never photographed or intended to photograph them. We regret the incident and will fully cooperate with the authorities on any investigation.”

Now, MSNBC is going to have to get their news from Fox News.

I don’t know about you but this sounds like jury tampering and intimidation. I bet this becomes the third call by the defense for a mistrial.

 

What’s Taking Them So Long

Why the jury takes so long is a big question. Anything we come up with is pure speculation. Heck the OJ Simpson jury only took four hours. But there are some reasons why:

  • Jury dynamic.
  • The jury is stalling because of the threats from the Left. Don’t forget: this jury is not sequestered.
  • The jury is being very detailed, making sure they understand all the evidence or some want some clarification.
  • There are some in the jury that think he’s guilty and other do not and they are debating with each other.
  • They think he’s guilty but can’t agree on what charges.

I hold to my original theory:

  • The jury will not come up with a verdict.
  • The judge will review arguments from the defense of a mistrial with prejudice.
  • The judge will rule for the mistrial with prejudice.
  • Riots will happen.

Mark my words.

Resign

Last month, Merrick Garland went in front of the Senate and talked about how parents who complained to schools boards weren’t being identified as domestic terrorists and weren’t being investigated by the FBI. He said this multiple times and he said this under oath.

Guess what. A whistleblower from the FBI sent some E-mails to the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. These E-mails pointed out that parents who complained at school boards were being marked with a “threat tag”. This was done via the Patriot Act. A law that specifically said that the government could not monitor American citizens.

We knew that law was going to be dangerous.

Well, Merrick Garland has some questions to answer. The House of Representative sent a letter to Garland asking, “Hey, what’s up?” Here’s the letter:

Oops.

Merrick Garland is going to have to admit something.

  • He lied.
  • He forgot about it.
  • There are rogue elements in the FBI.
  • He didn’t know anything about it.

Any of those makes him look really bad. And the Democrats wanted to make this a Supreme Court Justice? He should just resign but he won’t.

Just Keeps Getting Worse

Quinnipiac University released a poll and Joe Biden is getting murdered here. I like Quinnipiac. It always seems very accurate. They ask great questions. Let’s go over it.

Some things:

  • 36% is an 8 point drop compared to the last poll. The largest drop they have ever had.
  • Democrats have also lost some faith in Biden. His poll was at 98% earlier this year.
  • The dirty secret is the Independent, who got Biden elected. They’re turning against him big time.
  • I included the age breakdowns just to highlight the younger folks are not in love with Biden. It’s like this throughout the poll.

This is bad:

  • He’s actually at 35% with approval of his job as president.
  • 29% of Independents approve of him. That’s really bad.
  • Only 58% of Democrats approve of his job. That’s down over 40 points since the beginning of the year.

Understand, no one is thrilled with Congress. But this is bad for the elections in eleven months. The Senate is the same way.  Here’s the problem Democrats have. Republican always vote. Democrats have to be motivated to take the time to vote. Motivation is a real hard thing to come by on midterm elections.

By the way, where did climate change rank in the list of worries? Ranked at 8 with only 4%. Division and polarization was at number one with 11% and the economy was number two with 10%. This just shows how out of touch Democrats are.

https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3827

 

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

Joe Biden’s next crisis is on the horizon.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Congress that the signing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act means that lawmakers should raise the debt ceiling “as soon as possible.”

Question, why? I thought it was fully paid for. Well, that was crap and there is two weeks before the debt ceiling is hit.

I’m a little worried about the Republicans here. Mitch McConnell already raised the debt ceiling last month. I think he did this because he had a deal with Joe Manchin. But nothing has been done by Democrats but spend more and to raise it and McConnell should say “no”. Close the government. F-it.

Yellen said that the debt limit would go up by $115 billion right off the bat. So…the bill is not paid for? Isn’t that what Biden and Pelosi were saying. Were they lying…perhaps.

What about that reconciliation bill, that build back better crap? Would that bill, that we’ve been told is fully paid for, raise the national debt? Hmm…

Moderate Democrats and Republicans asked the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to give a BS score on this bill. Yeah, it didn’t go well.

The $1.75 trillion bill is expected to dump, according to the CBO, $367 billion dollars into the national debt. By the way, it doesn’t account for the fact, per economists and if all programs are renewed, would cost $5 trillion dollars at the end of the 10 years.

Oh, but tax the rich, tax the rich!

The CBO also found that the tax increases that Biden is proposing, if they all got implemented, would only bring in $127 billion out of the $400 billion the Biden administration said it would bring in. In other words, Biden is lying to you and the bill will not be paid for.

Nancy Pelosi tried to vote for that bill tonight.

Episode 440 – Be Happy!

Let’s talk a little politics but a lot of culture today. Hopefully people get a little pissed off.

 

He Learned A Lot From Obama

The climate summit in Glasgow is over. It was, without a doubt, a disaster for Joe Biden. Nothing about this trip is going to improve his standing in the United States or around the world. He doesn’t look stronger. In fact he looked weak, hypocritical and really, really old.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Supposedly he pooped his pants in front of the pope. Though this might not be true, it has become a joke on social media which means it’s a joke across the world.
  • He claimed that the pope told him he was a good Catholic and he should continue taking communion even though he is a rabid pro-abortionist. The pope wouldn’t confirm anything (and it’s really not up to the pope).
  • He was questioned in front of all the other leaders about his crashing poll numbers.
  • He appeared to be falling asleep during a climate meeting. He had to be woken up by a staffer.
  • He had to tell the president of France that there was some confusion about the Australia submarine deal, looking more out of control.
  • He traveled in an 85-car caravan because he had 1/3 of his cabinet with him. Not only is Air Force 1 flying, his cabinet is flying private. Looks like a bit of a hypocrite.
  • In the closing picture of the conference with all the leaders, he was at the end and looked alone and lost. It was a terrible picture.
  • China and Russia, two of the largest carbon producers, didn’t bother to show up. India, third highest carbon producer, committed no nothing.

But then Joe Biden, alla Barrack Obama, in a sign of extreme strength, decided to apologize to the world:

This frigging guy.

I hate when Democrats do this. I really don’t give a damn that we pulled out of the Paris climate agreement. It’s a waste. And we have no reason to apologize to anyone, especially anyone in Europe. If it wasn’t for the United States, they’d all be speaking German right now.

He looked very weak.

That’s Not Going To Get Him Elected

The Virginia election for governor is today. The biggest issue for Democrats is education. Critical Race Theory, Critical Gender Theory and corruption within the schools are the biggest issues in that election. But the Democrat candidate, Terry McAuliffe, who is losing according to polls, decides to drink from the same bucket:

That’s right! Too many white teachers. But the schools are not teaching critical race theory. We now need less qualified teachers because of the color of their skin.

Here’s the thing, Democrats have nothing to run on. Their ideas suck. Their philosophies suck. None of what they do or want is popular. McAuliffe is an example of this. He never ran on what he could do for the state. He ran stating that Glenn Youngkin is a Trump guy and a vote for him is a vote for Trump. That didn’t work. He tried to make Youngkin look like a racist to the point that the Left staged fake white supremacists at his rallies. That actually backfired. Now, he’s screaming the system is racist and he can fix it.

I want to ask one question for McAuliffe: He was already governor of Virginia. Why didn’t he fix the system when he was in charge?

Racism is the only thing they have.

Frauds

Here are two of the greatest race hustlers in America today and that’s saying a lot.

Ibram X. Kendi

Ibram X. Kendi, whose real name is Henry Rogers, is the leading proponent of Critical Race Theory. His garbage book, which I dismissed after all the lies he brought up in the Introduction, called How to be an Anti-Racist basically said there needs to be discrimination against whites to make up for the systemic racism that we have now. You can imagine I was thrilled when he wrote a tweet that basically dismissed his philosophy.

He tweeted:

You see the problem? He’s actually admitting that white students have to lie about being people of color to get into college.

He got bombarded on Twitter and deleted the tweet. But that didn’t stop anyone. You bet that tweet was copied before Kendi realized what he said. Realizing he was not going to get away with this, he released a 14 part tweet that basically calling the system racist and everyone else who criticized him a racist.

Jack Posobiec simply tweeted, “I broke Kendi”.

Guess what Kendi replied:

Same old tired argument. Everything is racist.

I love when this happens. The man may have a doctorate degree but that doesn’t make him smart.

 

Colin Kaepernick

I am so glad I cancelled my Netflix subscription.

Netflix released a video called Colin in Black and White which follows Colin Kaepernick’s career through high school, the NFL and his fake activism.

Just a reminder, Kaepernick played quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers about five years ago. He took them to the Super Bowl and lost in his first year. He had a very iffy next two years and was finally benched. That’s when he started kneeling for the National Anthem and screaming that America is racist. He was eventually cut. Not because of his kneeling but because he sucked as a quarterback.

Since then, he has whined about not being on a team but refused to tryout. He signed a $35 million deal with Nike and did a couple of commercial and then signed a multimillion dollar deal with Netflix. He is truly insufferable and I thought he had gone away until this Netflix deal.

Anyway, in one scene, he compares the NFL’s Combine to slavery. The Combine is a tryout for NFL rookies. It’s held before the draft.

Here is the clip:

This clip is disgusting and despicable. I will go so far as to say this disrespects and minimizes the suffering and tragedy of slavery and there is no comparison.

  • Slaves did not receive multi-million dollar contracts when drafted.
  • White people also had to go to the Combine. Tom Brady had to tryout at the Combine.
  • The Combine is optional. If one is confident in their skills or are rated high enough with the NFL teams, he doesn’t have to go to the Combine.

By the way, all sports do this. Even children’s sports hold tryouts. And it’s done throughout the world. And these guys are guaranteed millionaires after they get drafted. Colin Kaepernick himself has said he wants back in the NFL.

This racism thing from Kaepernick is not about racism. He’s a bitter, crappy, former quarterback whose bitter that he’s not good enough to get on another team. He’s found another way to make millions of dollars and that’s to claim he’s a victim.

The fact that this ass is worth close to a hundred million dollars disproves everything that he, and Kendi, are professing.

This Convinces No One

One of the things I hate about the Left is they are mean. They don’t care about anybody, only the cause. I’ll get more into that after the audio of this truly terrible thing.

We need a little bit of background here.

Joe Biden has this stupid Build Back Better reconciliation bill. There are two Democratic senators, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, that think this is a stupid bill and won’t support it. Truth be told, it looks like the bill is going to die. But the Left wants it and all $3.5 trillion dollars of it. And they will do anything to get these senators to vote for this crappy bill.

Enter the video. Kyrsten Sinema is a minister and she was presiding over a wedding. The same Kyrsten Sinema who I talked about before being accosted by Arizona student, a couple illegal aliens, in a women’s restroom. By the way, if you remember, one of the assailants was a man. In this video, Leftists converged on this wedding and ruined it. The mother of the bride can be heard crying, begging these kooks to let the wedding go on without conflict. It didn’t go well. Listen:

 

Here’s the problem with communists, they are always pissed off at something for no particular reason. They are miserable and are not happy until everyone is miserable. I am not making that up. Mark Levin pointed this out in his book, American Marxism. It is not a glitch in the philosophy, it is a feature. C.S. Lewis also said that the problem with communism is the leadership always keeps you looking to the future in hopes things will get better. That’s how communist and socialist tyrants keep power. And that’s what today’s politicians keep promising to these morons who make other, normal people’s lives miserable if they don’t do what they want.

Remember this: communists are cynical, miserable, unhappy a-holes. They’re made that way. Conservatives are always happy. That’s why fun phrases like, “Let’s go Brandon” make us smile while it enrages the Left.

I don’t know about you but I like being happy.

Episode 430 – California Dreaming

Gavin Newsom continues to f-up California and I think it’s important to watch its descending into Hell.

Social Justice is getting crazy.

And I think Greg Popovich needs to learn a little about the history of basketball.

 

California Dreaming

Gavin Newsom is really on fire. Maybe he really wants another recall election because some of the ideas he’s implementing are pretty insane. And we have quite a list.

I do this for two reason: I live in this nutty state and have to deal with all these stupid policies and I want to show the idiotic Leftist policies in a blue state so when this pretty boy decides to run for President, you’ll vote for the other guy.

I also want to show you the direction that Joe Biden wants to take us.

 

So Long, Elon

Elon Musk is moving Tesla out of California and to Texas. He made the announcement on Thursday of last week. He said the move was for convenience and affordability.

Musk stated:

“To be clear we will be continuing to expand our activities in California. Our intention is to increase output from Fremont and Giga Nevada by 50%. If you go to our Fremont factory it’s jammed.

“It’s tough for people to afford houses, and people have to come in from far away. There’s a limit to how big you can scale in the Bay Area. In Austin our factory is like five minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from Downtown.”

He later tweeted:

“Frankly, this is the final straw. Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependen [sic] on how Tesla is treated in the future.

“Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”

The last part is a shot at Lorena Gonzalez, a Democrat assemblywoman. She is pissed off about the salaries Tesla pays, the fact that she buys into that crap that Musk doesn’t pay his “fair share” and that he receives billions of dollars in subsidies.

She tweeted to Musk:

Fuck Elon Musk!

A very mature response from an assemblywoman. Of course, she just cost California tens of thousands of jobs, a loss of a couple of billion dollars in taxes and the subsidies were approved by Democrats like her because he builds the only successful electric car.

Musk responded to her on his website, tesmania.com:

“Tesla Moved its HQ to Texas Following Explicit Offer from California Assemblywoman. Exactly.”

 

Always Ask Where This Is Going To Go

California will be the first state, thanks to a law signed by Gavin Newsom, to allow euthanasia. This is the right of a patient to end his own life due to a terminal disease.

According to UCLA Health:

To receive the aid-in-dying drug, a person must:

  • Be 18 years or older and a resident of California
  • Have a terminal disease that cannot be cured or reversed and that is expected to result in
    death within six months
  • Have capacity to make medical decisions and not have impaired judgment due to a mental
    disorder
  • Have the physical ability to take and ingest the drug

Now I have a mixed thought on euthenasia. I have seen people who are dying of stage 4 cancer. It sucks. I am not a 100% that assisted suicide is an immoral thing unless I apply the Bible here. I don’t like to do that when debating someone who does not share my religious views. But there are a couple of things that bother me about this law as it is written:

  • It violates a doctor’s Hippocratic Oath.
  • It doesn’t allow for the chance of miracles. Beleive it or not, these things do happen. I know this for a fact.

But this is not why I’m against this law. Here is an example of the Give A Mouse A Cookie rule. What could this law lead to? Could it end up like? Is it possible that someone could request assisted suicide because they are simply depressed?

I say no to this law. It could lead to something far worse.

 

Back to the 1800s

In a bold move, Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would require toy stores to have a row for gender neutral toys. No kidding. This seems like a very important law.

The law reads:

This bill would require a retail department store that is physically located in California that has a total of 500 or more employees across all California retail department store locations that sells childcare items or toys to maintain a gender neutral section or area, to be labeled at the discretion of the retailer, in which a reasonable selection of the items and toys for children that it sells shall be displayed, regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys.

Um, there might be some problems with the law:

  • It’s unconstitutional.
  • It very vague. What is “reasonable selection”?
  • What is considered a gender neutral toy? A ball? Legos?
  • Who is going to decide what is gender neutral?
  • Who is going to monitor and enforce this?
  • I thought there was no sex. Why do we need to worry about keeping things gender neutral.

The law will go into effect in 2024. The first offense will lead to a $250 fine. Each subsequent violation will lead to a $500 fine.

Assemblyman Evan Low (D-CA), who introduced the legislation, said:

Part of it is to make sure if you’re a young girl that you can find a police car, fire truck, a periodic table or a dinosaur. And then similarly, if you’re a boy, if you’re more artistic and want to play with glitter, why not? Why should you feel the stigma of saying, ‘Oh, this should be shamed’ and going to a different location?

Um,  if a girl wants a police car, can’t she just go to the section that has police cars? If a boy wants glitter, can’t he just go to the glitter section? Won’t this be more confusing especially if you put a police car in the gender neutral aisle, people may not find it?

 

We Need To Get Rid of Grass

Gavin Newsom signed a bill the outlawed the selling of gas powered lawn mowers, leaf blowers and chainsaws. I guess we are going back to manual mowers, water hoses and rakes and hand saws. Welcome back to 1920.

This goes along with the law that bans selling gas powered cars by 2035. There is also a bill that states that generators must be regulated to a certain amount of pollution. Jeez! I’ll get to the irony in a second.

The law states:

Assembly Bill 1346 directs the California Air Resources Board to phase out the sale of small off-road engines by 2024 or as soon as feasible, whichever comes later. The new law also directs the board to identify and make available, where feasible, funding for commercial rebates to go toward the purchase of electric equipment.

State Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-CA), who authored the legislation, said:

It’s amazing how people react when they learn how much this equipment pollutes, and how much smog forming and climate changing emissions that small off-road engine equipment creates. This is a pretty modest approach to trying to limit the massive amounts of pollution that this equipment emits, not to mention the health impact on the workers who are using it constantly.

Now, let me point out the irony here. California is recommending that people do not plug in their electric cars during peak hour because of the obselete power grid.

Who’s this going to hurt? Working class people like gardners and landscapers. It’ll also hurt people like me who does his own lawn and landscaping on those Saturday afternoons. Politicians don’t worry about that. They hire someone to do that for them.

 

Forget Math Because This Is Important

Forget math, literature, writing, science or computer technology. Who needs that? Ethnic studies is what’s going to get our kids through life.

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation that makes California the first state to mandate public high school students pass an ethnic studies class as a graduation requirement.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported:

High school students in California will be required to learn about the contributions and oppression of people of color in America, under a measure Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Friday.” According to the outlet, the new law “adds a one-semester ethnic studies course to the state’s high school graduation requirements for public schools, starting with the 2029-30 academic year.”

Newsom said:

America is shaped by our shared history, much of it painful and etched with woeful injustice. Students deserve to see themselves in their studies, and they must understand our nation’s full history if we expect them to one day build a more just society.

Welcome to Critical Race Theory.

Assemblyman Jose Medina said:

The inclusion of ethnic studies in the high school curriculum is long overdue. Students cannot have a full understanding of the history of our state and nation without the inclusion of the contribution and struggles of Native Americans, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans.

I want to acknowledge the countless young people, high school and college students, teachers and professors, who have organized, demonstrated, boycotted classes, and gone on hunger strikes to demand a more equitable and inclusive educational system.

The Chronicle reported:

Some Republican legislators said the course is inappropriate for high school students, arguing it is rooted in critical race theory, a view that racism is ingrained in laws and government institutions.

Proponents say ethnic studies courses are shown to help students of color improve academically because they feel empowered by seeing themselves reflected in textbooks, rather than a “Eurocentric” version of history.

The final version of AB101 includes a provision that discourages school districts from using earlier versions of the model curriculum that included references to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The measure also prohibits schools from using instruction materials that promote bias or discrimination toward any group.

I have big problems with this:

  • This, again, is made to demonize white students and victimize students of color. It creates division.
  • Don’t kid yourself, this is Critical Race Theory.
  • What about Irish, German, British, Nordic and Jewish ethicities? Do they count.
  • This is going to rewrite history to create victimization.

Around the World

We cannot forget what’s happening around the world. At least, I won’t let you forget.

 

Iran

What would the best way to deal with Iran who is only a few weeks to having enough nuclear material to create a nuclear weapon? It doesn’t matter what we think because Joe Biden has a definite idea what to do.

According to The Hill:

The sanctions, targeting the Mammut Industrial Group (Mammut Industries) and its subsidiary Mammut Diesel, were originally imposed by the Trump administration in September 2020 as part of efforts to increase a maximum pressure campaign of sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear activity and actions in the region criticized as malign and destabilizing.

That’s right! Let’s give Iran the money to build missiles! Yay!

It looks like Israel is going to have a busy 2022.

 

Afghanistan

The Taliban has made an announcement on Saturday stating that they alone will handle the terrorist cells in Afghanistan and will not help the United States get terrorists.

Who didn’t see that coming.

The Taliban hates ISIS-K, if it exists, and is actively hunting them down. But ISIS-K is not a concern of the United States. We are hunting al Qaeda because they are the ones that are a major threat (they took down the World Trade Center) and they are allied with al Qaeda.

So much for all that over-the-horizon crap.

How is Joe Biden going to deal with this? How about giving Afghanistan money? Does that sound good?

The United States decided to provide humanitarian aid to the poor. What that means is we are going to give money to the Taliban because they are going to take it and give nothing to the people. Afghanistan is in trouble. They are about to lose power because they have not paid the power companies. Their economy is collapsing because the Taliban can’t run an economy. They are currently working with China and Pakistan to try to get back on their feet. Don’t kid yourself, they are also working with Iran.

Sleepy Creepy Joe did a great job with Afghanistan.

Back to the SJW Crap

We need to always go over some of the insane SJW BS that companies are promoting.

 

Superman

DC comic writer Tom Taylor revealed Monday that the son of Clark Kent and Lois Lane (formerly Superboy) is a bisexual and will have a gay lover by issue 5 of the comic. He said having another “another straight white savior” would be a “real opportunity missed.”

Taylor told IGN:

Over the years in this industry, it probably won’t surprise you to hear I’ve had queer characters and storylines rejected. I felt like I was letting down people I loved every time this happened. But we are in a very different and much more welcome place today than we were ten, or even five years ago. When I was asked if I wanted to write a new Superman with a new #1 for the DC Universe, I knew replacing Clark with another straight white savior could be a real opportunity missed.

OK, some things about this:

  • I don’t read comics, I don’t care about DC or Marvel movies. I just don’t like them. They’re dumb. So I really don’t care about this.
  • The big question here, though, is what opportunity would he miss? Maybe publishing a comic that will sell for the first five issues then not sell at all. That’s what’s going to happen.
  • Contrary to popular belief, comic guys are nerds not social justice worriers. Most of them are straight white men.
  • But I am happy that he’s not making Clark Kent gay. I hate the idea of making 007 a woman. Just create new characters.

 

Legos

Legos has decided to go woke. They have decided to become more gender neutral. In a statement they said:

Ensuring more inclusive play and raising the debate around gender norms is critical, not just for girls but for any child. The LEGO Group knows that boys are also battling prejudice when it comes to creative play and playing with toys that are traditionally seen as being for the opposite sex. 71% of boys vs. 42% of girls say they worry about being made fun of if they play with a toy typically associated for the other gender.

The company is committed to making LEGO play more inclusive and ensuring that children’s creative ambitions – both now in the future – are not limited by gender stereotypes. We know there is work to do which is why from 2021, we will work closely with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media and UNICEF to ensure LEGO products and marketing are accessible to all and free of gender bias and harmful stereotypes.

Dude, they’re building blocks!

I would rather they continue to do what they’re doing but make them less painful when one steps on them.

Learn a Book

Of course, Columbus Day has gotten a lot of crap. You knew there would be some really stupid people saying some really stupid things.

Here’s rich Lefty, Greg Popovich, the coach for the San Antonio Spurs commenting on Columbus Day:

Some things:

  • Columbus was an explorer, not a colonist. He did not start any genocide. This guy needs to learn a history book.
  • The reason there are Mexicans today is because Spain supported the Spanish marrying the Indians.
  • Slavery was illegal and discouraged by Spain. It happened but not really by Columbus. In fact, Columbus got into trouble for sending slaves back to Spain.
  • Disease, which is what most Native Americans died of, is not genocide. The Aztecs sacrificed 88,000 people in three days.
  • The Aztecs were known for three things: conquest, genocide and basketball.
  • The Nazi comment is just stupid. And when I say that, I mean Popovich is stupid.

Episode 424 – Blah, Blah, Blah!

The reconciliation bill and infrastructure bill are in trouble…Thank God.

Joe Biden continues to show, through his picks, how moderate he is.

Kamala Harris is terrible.

And Greta is back!

 

Opening Monologue: The Halloween Costume

 

The Economic Debate

The Debt Ceiling

The debt ceiling has been temporarily suspended. This will allow the government to continue running until December 3rd.

  • The House approved the bill, 254-175.
  • The Senate approved the measure 65-35.
  • President Biden signed the bill on Thursday night.

The thought that this may show that Republicans are as nervous of meeting the debt ceiling as the Democrats and they might negotiate a reconciliation bill. Remember, that same bill they were suppose to vote on tonight?

Yeah, well, no.

The Democrats do have some ideas, though, on getting around the debt ceiling. Yeah, yeah, eliminate the filibuster but that was so three months ago and it’s not going to happen:

The first idea is to create a trillion dollar coin. Newsweek explains:

The idea of minting a trillion-dollar commemorative coin to shore up the nation’s finances comes from an obscure law that gives the U.S. Treasury Secretary the authority to “mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins in accordance with such specifications, designs, varieties, quantities, denominations, and inscriptions as the Secretary, in the Secretary’s discretion, may prescribe from time to time.”

Proponents have picked up on the “denominations” note there, arguing that any amount could be minted at a normal coin size and deposited into the Federal Reserve to prevent a national debt crisis.

The idea is we could pay off our debt with this coin. This is not a new idea. Barrack Obama, during the debt ceiling crisis on his term, thought about it. He said in 2017:

“There was this theory that I had the authority to issue through the mint this massive $1 trillion coin and on that basis we could try to pay off US Treasurys. It was a very realistic possibility that we couldn’t get the votes for that and we couldn’t get those debts rolled over and we would be in a situation where we were technically in default. At that point, you were in uncharted territory.”

There are some problems with this that Barrack Obama knew about:

  • This is not different than just printing money.
  • It also seems to be going back to the gold standard.
  • It is a fake solution. It doesn’t actually address the problem which is over spending.
  • And where are they going to get the money to pay for this coin? Taxes.
  • Finally, this is not who we are. We need to deal with the spending and the debt. Not create an artificial solution.

The other way to deal with this is far more realistic but more devastating. Janet Yellen, the horrible Secretary of the Treasury, has told us she’s in favor of ending the debt ceiling altogether. Now understand, the reason there is a debt ceiling is to control spending. What she is saying is that we should not have a limit on spending and we she just pay debt by adding to the debt.

That’s like having a credit card with a limit of $500 and, when the limit was reached, the limit could be raised so that you could pay off your credit card with the same credit card you’re trying to pay off. Do you see a problem with that?

This will cause:

  • Inflation.
  • High taxes.
  • Austerity.
  • Job loss.
  • Innovation loss.

This has been tried before. Look at Japan. Guess what happened to them. They have been economically stagnant since the 90s.

 

Reconciliation Bill

The reconciliation bill is in huge trouble. The Democrats, per Bernie Sanders and the Squad, wanted the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, or budget bill, voted on before the “bipartisan” infrastructure bill. Democratic Senators and Reps said they would not vote for the “bipartisan” infrastructure bill if the reconciliation bill was not passed first. All $3.5 trillion (actually $5.5 trillion).

Democrats may have painted themselves into a corner because they only have a three vote lead in the House and are, as of now, down by four votes in the Senate. Bernie Sanders is looking to undermine the bill by saying he will not vote for the infrastructure bill. He tweeted on Monday:

Here’s the problem he fails to see: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who are part of the Democratic caucus, never agreed that this bill was a good idea and were against it from the beginning. Joe Machin wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal a couple of months ago explaining why it was a bad idea and pointed out that the pandemic proves we need to curtail spending.

So Bernie, last night, went after those two:

This has never been a strategy I’ve understood. Instead of trying to convince these two Senators, let’s just yell at them. That’ll change their minds! Yeah, no.

Also, Bernie is taking the “math is racist” thing and using it for his benefit. It isn’t two Senators that are going to end this bill, it is fifty-two Senators that are going to kill the bill.

So here’s what’s happening at this moment:

  • The infrastructure bill vote, which was suppose to be last night, has been postponed because the reconciliation bill negotiations have stalled.
  • Negotiations continue as of this morning.
  • Joe Manchin says the bill can be around $2 trillion and must include the Hyde Amendment.

I have a feeling this bill will not be voted on until next week…maybe.

She’s Back!

I miss Greta Thunberg. She’s been gone a while. And, since she turned 18, we can say anything about her and we can’t be accused of attacking a child even though, mentally, she is a child because of her mental deficiencies. That might even be controversial if it weren’t for the fact it’s true and she is given so much credibility by the Left.

She’s:

  • Dumb.
  • Doesn’t understand science.
  • Doesn’t understand climate.
  • Never gives arguments in her speeches.
  • Just yells at us.
  • And, watching her last speech, looks like she needs a shower and should wash her hair with some not-environmentally-friendly shampoo.

Good news for her, though! She doesn’t need to use words anymore to make her point. Listen to her speech at a Youth 4 Climate event in Italy:

Couple of things:

Episode 393 – Cori Who?

Great news for the economy.

Cori Bush is the new face of the Squad.

And businesses just can’t quit the love affair with China.

 

That’s Good News

Remember when I said on Tuesday that the jobs report was looking to be bad? Well, it turned out to be excellent and was the first report to exceed expectations.

  • 943,000 jobs were created in July.
  • The unemployment rate went from 5.9% to 5.4%
  • June’s report was also revised, adding 88,000 jobs.

That’s great news for Biden.

Many are saying that the job gains are occurring because three more states joined in ending the $300 supplemental unemployment benefits.

That’s not great news for Biden.

The Labor Secretary, Marty Walsh, said there was no evidence that the ending of the supplemental unemployment benefits had anything to do with the great report.

Well, we’ll see. Logically, what Walsh is saying makes no sense. If people are no longer getting all that extra money they are going to have to get it from somewhere. A job seems to be a good place to make up that extra money. Next month, the unemployment benefits end.

She’s a Terrible Person

The Squad has a new leader. That’s right, AOC is no longer the face of the squad. It’s Cori Bush, the Democratic representative from Missouri. She’s louder, more Marxist, dumber and more miserable than Ocasio-Cortez. She had some hot takes this week and, like AOC is wrong about everything.

 

Defunding the Police

I forgot one other things Cori Bush is: a hypocrite. Here she is saying she needs private security even though she screams about defunding the police:

Some things:

  • Being a hypocrite has nothing to do with want her to die. People don’t want you to die, they want you to be consistent.
  • The self-importance is disgusting. What about the people who depend on the police to protect their bodies. Are they not important?
  • The white supremacist narrative to hide hypocrisy is not going to be embrace by the public.
  • She had also mentioned that there have already been attempts on her life. We know that is BS because we would never hear the end of that.

 

The McCloskey Pardon

You remember the McCloskeys? During the BLM riots, rioter broke into their private community by breaking down a rot iron gate and walked down the street. The husband and wife armed themselves and stood in front of their property with weapons ready. They were threatened and yelled at. These animals even threatened to kill the family dog.

Nobody was arrested except for the McCloskeys. They had their guns taken away and finally settled on a misdemeanor. That way, they could go out and buy new guns. Republican Gov. Mike Parson, finally, ended this madness and pardoned them.

Cori Bush has some real strong words about the pardon:

Couple of things:

  • She was at the riot. Doesn’t that make her guilty of trespassing.
  • The pardons that she is asking for are for criminals.
  • Non-violent protestors? These were rioters. They tore down a rot iron fence and trespassed onto private property. They caused damage. They threatened the residents.

 

Squatters Unite

Cori Bush has really been against the end of the rent moratorium. She actually parked her on the steps of the Capitol building in protest to the end of the moratorium. She was trying to show the world what it would be like to be homeless. Of course, all one has to do to see what it’s like to be homeless is walk the Cori Bush’s district.

Here she is

Some things:

  • Maybe she should have waited to be married to have children.
  • Landlords aren’t getting help. There was no plan by the government to allocate that money and Elizabeth Warren admits that.
  • The money is starting to move after a year?

 

Not Being Embraced

This stuff isn’t working:

  • Over 80% of people do not support the defund the police movement.
  • Democrats are beginning to see the disaster that is the “defund the police” movement because of the high crime and they are getting blamed.
  • Cori Bush keeps talking and pushing this very unpopular policy.
  • She does because she’s a Marxist. She wants:
    • No local police.
    • A national police force which she can control.
    • Supports the rioters such as BLM and Antifa just as Hitler embraced the Brown Shirts.

I say, keep talking. Keep pushing this. She sounds uneducated and she sounds like a tyrant. Her hypocrisy makes her look like she doesn’t care about anyone but herself. Her spitting on the McCloskeys show she doesn’t want any way that people can defend themselves. People cannot have the police nor can they have guns to protect themselves.

The is totalitarian stuff and no one likes it. I bet even her supporters are beginning to question her and her policies.

Apple is Just as Bad

I do not own anything Nike. I run so shoes are a big deal. I do not own a Nike shirt, Nike shorts, Nike socks or Nike jackets. I refuse to buy anything for someone else if its Nike. If Josie wants a pair of Nike shoes, she can pay for them. Her kids want Nike shoes, get a job and pay for them yourselves.

The reason I don’t buy anything Nike is because they make their products using slavery that China endorses and Nike finds no issue with it. Not only does Nike support it, they are one with the Chinese.

Here is Nike’s CEO, John Donahoe, pretty much saying Nike is now a Chinese company:

Notes in this:

  • Companies are amoral. But ignoring the evils of a government because you “sell lots of stuff” to them and can make a $300 pair of shoes for $10 is not amoral. It’s immoral.
  • There are other companies that have decided to work with China because of their slave labor manufacturing. Apple is one. I won’t own and iPhone either.
  • Trump had the right idea. He was going to choke off American companies from manufacturing in China. It was working and was hurting the Chinese economy.
  • The Chinese economy depends on the United States.

But Joe Biden has not only ended of all of Trump’s roadblocks for China. Now, a bunch of businesses have asked the Biden administration to negotiate with China to end all the tariffs.

The trade groups include some of Washington’s most influential big business associations, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, the National Retail Federation, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the Semiconductor Industry Association.

This country is never going to change until we put ethics in front of the mighty dollar.

Not Luvin It

Ksenia Ovchinnikova is suing McDonald’s after claiming that seeing a mouthwatering cheeseburger commercial made her break her fast during Lent.

The unhappy meal reportedly occurred in April 2019, while the Omsk native was observing Lent, a strict period in which devout Christians are expected to forgo meat, meat by-products, poultry, eggs, and dairy.

She’s decided to sue McDonald’s for the huge sum of $14. The cost of the meal.

I just thought it was funny and you should know about it.
