Episode 389 – What A Sham!

The January 6th commission has started their hearing and it is everything we thought it would be. But people seem to want hearings on some other things.

 

A Schiff Show

This pretty much sums up the Democrats January 6th Commission: Adam Schiff shedding tears. Listen:

Yeah, no. He doesn’t care. But his budging eyes look phenomenal.

Adam Kinzinger, another anti-Trump Republican also shed the crocodile tears:

Couple of things:

  • Anytime a politician cries, it look inauthentic.
  • This guy was never in danger and didn’t see crap.
  • But he does hate Trump.
  • This was not an insurrection. It was bad and ugly but not an insurrection.
  • Nobody is being charged with sedition. Theft, trespassing and destruction of property.
  • This was deadly. A Trump supporter, Ashlii Babbitt was killed. She was the only one killed.
  • We do know what happened. There was a report released. There was not enough security at the capitol and, when requested, Nancy Pelosi froze.

Then you had Liz Cheney and she was awful. Is it any wonder Nancy Pelosi picked these people?

Here’s the story:

  • Not a bipartisan commission.
  • Republicans has no say on who would be on this commission.
  • None of the important questions are going to be asked.
  • The independent report on what happened on January 6th will never be brought up.
  • This is going to be nothing but a show and we haven’t even listened to any of the clips yet of the witnesses.
  • There are thousands of hours of video yet all we are presented with always presents us edited video.

The January 6th Commission went exactly like we thought it would. A partisan fishing expedition that was made to demonize Donald Trump and all other Republicans. I didn’t see it because I think only CNN was running it and I don’t watch CNN except in small doses. But I’m pretty sure no one watched it. Heck, C-SPAN put it on its third channel so…

The committee met for two hours and interviewed four police officers: Michael Fanone, Aquilino Gonell, Danial Hodges and Harry Dunn. According to CNN, there are a few things that the committee is trying to bring out:

  • The police were victims and they were there to protect and serve. There’s a laugh.
  • There were incidence of racism. No evidence was presented but of course there had to be.
  • They presented first hand accounts of violence. Surely there was.
  • This is a bipartisan condemnation of Republicans because two pseudo-Republicans are on the committee.

First, let’s hear from Michael Fanone:

  • These cops always seemed to use rather poor language.
  • I’m sure he’s probably not lying here, but why not use his gun? That’s what he was trained for. With that, I am skeptical.
  • He does admit that some were not only not violent, but were ready to help him.

But that is not the message the Left wants out. Fanone needed to make some things clear. He needed to get back on track with the Left’s narrative:

  • Nice acting job with the fist pounding.
  • No one is denying the events of that day.
  • No one betrayed the oath of office.
  • They just are not buying the narrative that the Left is trying to push which is the demonization of the people he is demonizing now.
  • Finally, who is worse here: the Republicans who think this is a political exploitation by the Left or Nancy Pelosi, probably intentionally, not calling for more security.

Just watching this guy, we can see where this whole thing is going. There is not going to be any objective facts in this whole thing. It is going to be about feeling and fear. There aren’t going to be any questions that try to get to the facts of this case because the guys who would have asked the questions were not allowed to be on the panel.

The next guy is a guy named Aquilino Gonell. Here’s what he had to say:

  • Nice way to ask the question.
  • Trump was talking about the people at the rally, not the protestors so there one of the reason Liz Cheney is a terrible human being. She’s a liar.
  • I also want to point out I don’t really care how he “feels” about anything. This is suppose to be an evidentiary hearing. His subjective feeling about something that wasn’t true is irrelevant.
  • Could this have been ever more scripted? The “hugs and kisses” thing just shows that.
  • He also shows the hatred he has for Trump. The violence that should be done to Trump. This is something Trump has never pushed even on January 6th.
  • I do want to point out Trump is not in charge of “sending the army to the Capitol”. That was Nancy Pelosi’s job.
  • Finally, the demonization of Trump and Trump supporters and, indirectly, all Republicans.

This is why I’m against this commission. The Left wants to make all Republicans evil. This is how gulags are build and genocides start. If your opponent is evil, why would it be bad to kill them?

This question comes from that scum Jamie Raskin to Daniel Hodges. This question could not be anymore leading.

  • No one is being charge with sedition, as I’ve said before. Already his question is bad because it is based in a lie.
  • Tourists? I don’t remember anyone saying they were called tourists. I do remember someone saying that the Capitol police were letting people into the Capitol like they were tourists.
  • Again, very scripted answer. That little joke proved it.
  • See the pattern here? Nobody likes Americans.

Finally, we have to coup de gras of the interviews. This one comes from Harry Dunn. First thing he needed to do was

  • Just an FYI, this guy is a BLM supporter and has been to their protests.
  • The butt kissing is disgusting.
  • He basically is calling for not only the protestors to go to jail but everyone who buys Conservative thought including Donald Trump. By the way, this is a basic Democratic talking point.
  • Again, this has already been investigated.

Then, he dropped a bombshell. I just want to warn you, the language is explicit:

  • Alex, I’ll take that was BS for $500.
  • How did anyone know he voted for Joe Biden?
  • There are thousands of hours of audio and video. Not one clip has been shown someone saying that. I’m sorry, the N-word is just not used much anymore.
  • This was important testimony because it showed that everyone there was a racist. Then Dunn
  • And let’s not forget: He’s a BLM supporter!

Conclusion

Here’s what we learned from this:

  • This is nothing more than a partisan hit job.
  • This is made to demonize anyone who doesn’t agree with the Left.
  • No facts are going to come up from this.
  • Democrats need to do this to deflect from their failures, especially before 2022.
  • I find it funny that the Democrats, especially the defund ones, are suddenly thinking that police are heroes.
  • They are ignoring the actually objective report that blamed the Capitol police leadership and Nancy Pelosi for the attack.
  • There will be no mention of the BLM and Antifa riots of last summer. Most people want the summer riots investigated.
  • By the way, this attack on the Capitol was not the worst in history. There were two bombing of the Capitol building in the 1960s.

Episode 388 – I Remember When Olympians Were Tough

COVID is showing us how much the Left hates us.

They are also trying to keep Conservatives out of civil life.

And we have some Olympic updates.

 

They Hate You

COVID has become a huge issue today again. Infections are way up. I think I mentioned something about this before, I can’t remember. But infections were way up and deaths are way down. Of course, no talks about the fact that this delta variant actually isn’t killing anyone. New York had an daily 7-day average death rate of 1. Yeah, but this is the need for declaring an emergency.

Today, the CDC has reversed its mask mandate saying that people should wear masks, no matter the vaccination status, should wear masks in areas with a high infection rate. This includes schools. They also mandated vaccines for federal employees. The emergency continues.

I’m sure I’ve said this before: the Left needs a perpetual emergency. They never want this to end. If this pandemic ends, Democrats have to give up their power. They don’t want to give up their power.

Donny Deutsch of MSNBC made this creepy remark. Mandate the vaccine to save them elites from those idiot rubes. Listen to this:

Thoughts:

  • There is an idiot population in this world and it is the Leftist elites, like Donny Deutsch , who cannot see that they are power mongers and tyrants.
  • That the power that people like Donny Deutsch don’t understand is things he wants to implement have been done before and they don’t work.
  • And who are these people? They’ve been vaccinated. What are they afraid of?
  • If someone doesn’t want to get vaccinated, that’s their problem. The government should not have a bloody say in what I do, all they should do is give me the options.

What I find amazing about this is that this is something that really cost Hilary Clinton in 2016 when she ran against Trump. She, obviously, is an elitist that thinks she’s above the law, much like Donny Deutsch. To these people, regular people are deplorables and idiots. But the Left is saying this on a daily basis. Joe Biden and Jen Psaki are saying it. Calling people right of Left garbage all the time and being too dumb to live without the great wisdom of the government used to be a bad thing. It was considered one of Hilary’s greatest gaffs for losing the election. Not anymore.

I also am getting tired of the demonization of people the elites don’t agree with. We are ants. We are cockroaches. We are white trash, bigots, racists, homophobes and xenophobes. Good news is people are getting tired of being called names. Joe Biden has lost a lot of popularity. CNN and MSNBC, who are the greatest sinners, have lost a ton of viewers because they spend the entire day calling the right of Left names.

Finally, how wise is the government?

  • They overspend money.
  • Can’t stop crime.
  • Can’t stop the surge on the border, all not being tested for COVID.
  • They think Abe Lincoln was a racist.
  • They think men and women are exactly the same.
  • They think men can magically become women.
  • They are spending $20,000 on a single trash can.

Do these guys sound very wise and capable of running my life? They don’t even know my name.

But the emergency is needed. Enter Gavin Newsom, the garbage governor of California who has, right now, a 50-50 chance of being recalled. He said this about people who are not getting the vaccine:

Couple of things:

  • These people pointing to new cases of infections.
    • They fail to point out people aren’t dying.
    • They fail to understand that masks may be causing harm. A study came out pointing out that teens are five times more likely to commit suicide than catch COVID and that another study pointed out that CO2 levels in children under 12, wearing dirty masks all day, is affecting their physical health.
  • I also want to point out, when we were in the crux of the pandemic and a thousand people were dying a day, Gavin Newsom was eating a $2000 meal at the French Laundry, unmasked with a bunch of doctors.
  • Another problem with his belief that only the Right and Tucker Carlson’s followers are not getting vaccinated is just ridiculous and a lie.
    • Chicago, hardly a Tucker audience or Trump supporters, has less than 50% vaccinated.
    • Blacks have a vaccination rate of 35%.
    • Most blue cities are way below vaccination averages.
  • Finally, comparing not being vaccinated to drunk driving is just idiotic.
    • People use risk/reward to determine whether to get the vaccine or not. If I’m 20 years old, the chances of me getting sick and dying of COVID isn’t worth the risk of an unapproved vaccine that has side affects.
    • I may way in my family and what they need or desire but everyone else in the state is on their own. I’m not responsible for them. They need to take care of themselves.
    • Drunk drivers, on the other hand, do not way in any risk/reward. They are irresponsible and actually have their judgement impaired.

The insults keep on coming and that’s not going to help the Ken doll win his recall vote. His hypocrisy during this pandemic is part of the reason he’s in trouble. Finally, does this guy seem wise and intelligent enough to make decisions for me? I think not.

Time to Start Our Own Economy

USA Today released an article stating that the money trading site Paypal is joining up with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to find out how extremist and hate groups are funded. Both that organization and PayPal say the results of their research will be shared within the financial industry, policymakers and law enforcement.

In a statement, Paypal said:

“By identifying partners across sectors with common goals and complementary resources, we can make an even greater impact than any of us could do on our own.”

“We have a unique opportunity to further understand how hate spreads and develop key insights that will inform the efforts of the financial industry, law enforcement, and our communities in mitigating extremist threats.”

According to the ADL website:

The initiative with PayPal will be led through ADL’s Center on Extremism, a leading authority on extremism, terrorism and hate. PayPal and ADL will focus on further uncovering and disrupting the financial pipelines that support extremist and hate movements. In addition to extremist and anti-government organizations, the initiative will focus on actors and networks spreading and profiting from all forms of hate and bigotry against any community.

According to ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt:

“All of us, including in the private sector, have a critical role to play in fighting the spread of extremism and hate. With this new initiative, we’re setting a new standard for companies to bring their expertise to critical social issues. We have a unique opportunity to further understand how hate spreads and develop key insights that will inform the efforts of the financial industry, law enforcement, and our communities in mitigating extremist threats.”

This is a scary thing because this is what the Nazis did when Hitler took over. They demonized all those who did not go along with the Nazi propaganda. That includes the Jews and people of color. Once demonized, these people are ostricized from society and being able to work with society. Look at what they did to Trump. He lost his ability to sell his campaign products on one of these sites because he was considered an extremist. He was the President of the United States of Christ’s sake. He is hardly an extremist.

But, remember this line from Trump:

“They don’t hate you because they hate me. They me because they hate you.:

This is exactly it. Extremism is not defined. But I bet it will be defined by groups like BLM and the LGBTQ+ and other Leftist scholars. And guess who they are going to consider an extremist: you and me. And they want us gone. They can’t stick us in gulags yet, though they’ll try. All they are trying to do now is get us banned from civil society. We know they can do it. Look what they did to Trump.

But this might not be a terribly bad thing. Conservatives like the Daily Wire and Blaze TV are actually expanding their platforms to include things like movires, televisions shows and books that the Left has banned. This might be a chance for making a lot more rich people by creating products, services and even our own institutions that will be available for all, not just the Left.

So start thinking of what you want to do. You could be rich and I bet you’ll run it a lot better than any of these cancel culture morons too.

Remember: Give a Mouse a Cookie

Here we go.

  • There is a lawsuit in Minnesota by a father of an autistic boy.
  • The father has joint custody of the child and is suppose to be involved in all medical decisions.
  • At 9, the boy decided he was a girl and the mother, never telling the father, sent him to a gender clinic.
  • The gender clinic, after two years using affirmative therapy, decided it was time to put the boy, at 11,on hormone therapy.
  • The father found out, accidently when he went to his appointment, that his son was being treated. So we now know his father was paying for the kid’s insurance.

Now he is taking the mother and the “medical” center to court and trying to stop all this. That mother should be arrested for child abuse for doing what she did or, at least, the kid should be removed from her. This is a travesty all on the shoulders of political correctness.

Olympics

Some new updates in the Olympics:

  • The women’s soccer team continues to be mediocre. They tied Australia 0-0 but they do get to move on to the next round. Just one more loss!
  • Simone Biles has pulled out of the women’s team gymnastic competition. She wasn’t injured. She was just depressed. What a hero.
  •  So far, two Arab judo fighters have been eliminated and were sent home because they wouldn’t fight an Israeli fighter. They won’t fight because of the “occupation of Israel in Palestine”. Of course, there is no Palestine so goodbye and good riddance.

TikTok

Honestly, I just really don’t have too much to say about this TikTok video.

  • You know why she’s femme? Cause her gender is a girl.
  • She uses her gender to get what she wants? She sounds like a woman.
  • She sounds like a sociopath and narcissist but a woman none-the-less.

Episode 381 – That’s Not Going to Work

Inflation is going from bad to worse. Old Joe’s solution seems like it will make it from worse into a disaster.

Iran is not playing well with others and no one cares.

And things in Cuba are getting worse but the colors of the radical Democrats is coming to light.

 

This Ain’t Even Being Looked At Right Now

According to data released Monday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the June 2021 “Survey of Consumer Expectations” reveals that median one-year inflation expectations climbed to 4.8% — a 0.8% increase since last month.

In January, February, March, April, and May, one-year expectations were respectively 3.0%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.4%, and 4.0% — implying that anticipated inflation has progressively increased since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, three-year inflation expectations — currently at 3.5% — have remained essentially unchanged since last month, though they have also increased from January levels.

We are looking and expecting to be up to 5.4% by December, the highest inflation since these statistics were recorded in 2013.

To make things more exciting, the three top credit ratings services all believe the United States is about to lose their AAA credit rating in the future. This is due to political instability and soaring national debt mostly caused by the stimulus packages during CONVID. Currently our nations debt is at $28 trillion with a big budget coming up and no plans to curb spending.

Hey, don’t blame me. I voted for the other guy.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/pointing-to-national-debt-ratings-agency-issues-negative-outlook-for-us-aaa-creditworthiness

 

Things Are Going To Get Worse

So, what does Biden think will help the economy and lower inflation? How about pushing a $3.5 trillion dollar budget proposal through Congress in a partisan vote using reconciliation. If reconciliation is used then Republicans cannot use the filibuster to stop it.

But the bill does more than that. It actually will offer amnesty to the 11 million illegal aliens in this country (in fact, it is closer to 20 million). Illegal aliens will get visas and green cards and a pathway to citizenship. Though the bill does have some restrictions, such as criminal record, nothing else is off the table.

There’s just one problem with this: We haven’t closed the border. This was tried by Ronal Reagan in the 80’s and we had our borders over run by illegal aliens who knew they would receive amnesty if they got over. The program had to be scrapped.

Democrats have two problems here:

  • Not sure reconciliation will actually allow for this amnesty provision because it is a policy change not a financial change. Reconciliation on deals with financial bills.
  • Joe Manchin (D, W. Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D., AZ) have already shown apprehension about the huge budget and the immigration plans. Illegal immigration is not popular (especially in Arizona) and they are from red states.

Get ready for the fireworks. The elections in 2022 couldn’t come fast enough.

Iran

This is a disturbing story that seems to disturb everyone except the Biden administration.

  • Masih Alinejad, who now serves as a producer with Voice of America and is the author of “The Wind in My Hair: My Fight for Freedom in Modern Iran, is an American citizen that has been fighting for the rights of the Iranian people for years.
  • Her goal is to motivate dissidents in Iran to create a grassroots push for change in Iran’s government and laws. She is formerly from Iran.
  • Iran sent four men who joined a fifth man who lived in California.
  • They then went to Alinejad’s home in New York and tried to kidnap her and force her back to Iran, presumably, to be executed.
  • The men were all arrested.
  • When asked about it, Jen Psaki said that American citizens would be protected but this was not a foreign policy issue but a local law enforcement issue.

Really?

  • The Biden administration has just allowed Iran to retrieve money that was being held in Asia. What did we get? Nothing.
  • Biden is trying to get Iran to rejoin the Iranian Nuclear Agreement. An agreement that gave Iran a ton of money and economic freedom that they used to attack Israel. What did we get? Nothing.
  • Now they are walking onto US soil, threatening to kidnap our citizens and nothing is going to be done.

This is what happens when you embolden terrorists. Why the Left seems to have a soft spot for totalitarian regimes is beyond me. They’re doing it with Iran, China and Cuba. They’ve done it with Russia and Venezuela. I just don’t get what we are getting by appeasing these people but heartache.

Cuba

Speaking of Cuba, let’s talk about what is going on over there.

  • People are still being arrested. A YouTube star in Cuba was arrested while she was running a live YouTube video. It was all caught on camera.
  • The Cuba government has cut off the Internet to control the spread of information.
  • Peter Doocy, straight out, asked Jen Psaki if this was a protest against communism. She said it was a fight against repression and a bad economy but refused to say if communism had anything to do with it.

There also appears to be some dissent within the Cuban government itself about the crackdown on protestors. ABC International reported:

Cuban Vice Minister of the Interior Brigadier General Jesús Manuel Burón Tabit has resigned after questioning decision-making within the ministry and the Security Council, as well as the excessive use of police force to repress the demonstrations of July 11 — the day that began the wave of protests that spread throughout the island, as ABC has learned from sources close to the regime. His departure is motivated by disagreements with other commanders — differences with respect to the measures taken during the protests last weekend.

“There is trouble within the Army and differences between the military of the old guard and young generals,” say the sources consulted by this newspaper.

This is not good news for the 60-year-old revolutionary regime. Maybe the younger soldiers are looking for a new revolution. Or maybe they are just tired of killing their own people.

The Black Lives Matter organization has also shown how they are a garbage organization. They said in a statement:

Black Lives Matter condemns the U.S. federal government’s inhumane treatment of Cubans, and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo. This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining Cubans’ right to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba’s current crisis. Since 1962, the United States has forced pain and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine and supplies, costing the tiny island nation an estimated $130 billion.

Without that money, it is harder for Cuba to acquire medical equipment needed to develop its own COVID-19 vaccines and equipment for food production. This comes in spite of the country’s strong medical care and history of lending doctors and nurses to disasters around the world. 

The people of Cuba are being punished by the U.S. government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination. United States leaders have tried to crush this Revolution for decades.

That’s right! They took the Cuban government’s side because it is the fault of the United States. This is Howard Zinn level stuff and ignores everything that the Cuban government has done in the 60 years they have been in power.

The backlash has been brutal:

  • Dan McLaughlin: “‘Cubans’ right to choose their own government’ has nothing to do with the government that is subject to the embargo. Mozambique? A Marxist government that persecuted churches, plunged the country into a civil war & made a third of the population refugees? That Mozambique?”
  • Mark Hemingway: “So how much of the American establishment last year went to bat for an organization that is quite predictably defending an oppressive communist regime? Also, contra this obscene statement, the Cuban communist regime remains actively racist.”
  • Carlos Curbelo: “Deplorable this organization has chosen to stand with the oppressive dictators who have murdered and enslaved innocent Cubans of all colors since 1959. The people responsible for ALL the death and misery in Cuba are the mostly white men who @Blklivesmatter has now embraced.”
  • Giancarlo Sopo: “Disgusting! Despite the Cuban dictatorship’s murdering and beating of protestors (many of them Black), BLM’s statement on Cuba….condemns the US, praises the Castro regime, and makes no mention of the atrocities being committed by the dictatorship.”

I love the statement and the pushback. BLM has always been a corrupt, garbage organization and now they are showing their true feathers. This just makes CRT look worse also since Conservatives have said that it is nothing more than hate for America. When BLM makes statements like these, it just proves it.

By the way, AOC and Ilhan Omar are big supporters of BLM. They have yet to weigh in on the Cuban protests.

Oops

The AP is reporting that, of the 500 people who walked stormed the Capital Building on January 6th, not one has been charged with treason or sedition charges. Most have been charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct and failure to obey.

We already know that the report provided to Congress said that the main problem on January 6th was bad security and not enough security. Remember, there is video of the Capitol Police allowing the protestors into the Capitol building and even taking pictures with them.

By the way, who’s in charge of security for the Capitol Building? Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House.

The question is none of these people has been released from jail. Why not?

Because It’s Systemically Racist

A third judge last week struck down the Biden administration’s multi-billion-dollar farm aid program that expressly excludes whites.

  • The rule is from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue bill.
  • It allows for government grants to be provided for farmer who are black, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander and American Indian.
  • White farmers could apply for the grants but those would be converted to loans which the famers would have to pay back.
  • A farmer named Robert Holman sued that the section was unconstitutional and racist (this, by the way, is an example of systemic racism).

U.S. District Judge S. Thomas Anderson stated:

“The Court finds that Plaintiff (Holman) has shown a substantial likelihood that he will prevail on his claim that Section 1005 violates his right to equal protection under the law. Absent action by the Court, socially disadvantaged farmers will obtain debt relief, while Plaintiff will suffer the irreparable harm of being excluded from that program solely on the basis of his race.”

Thank God for the judiciary and checks and balances.

Episode 376 – Hide Your Kids!

Hide your kids! The Left is coming for them!

Let’s talk about it.

Yeah, Listen to this Broad

I’ve said this a thousand times before and I’m going to say it again. When I was younger, I was against the LGBT community and gay marriage. Now, I wasn’t really against gay marriage. Truth is I didn’t really care. What I did care about fell under the “give a mouse a cookie” syndrome that a lot of activist groups get when they get what they want. First, it’s gay marriage. Then it opened up into trans acceptance which led to trans people being considered the sex they choose and now men can go into the restrooms of women and compete against women in sports.

We should have seen that this would affect our children. Unfortunately, it is becoming mainstream to indoctrinate our children into the sexual perversion and our parents, who, because of wokeness, are good with it.

There is an article in the Washington Post by a woman named Lauren Rowella. Just to give you an idea how f-ed up this gal is, she is a former prostitute that identifies a gendervague, whatever that means. She is also married to a man who identifies as a woman and is a lesbian.

Got that? Need a program to figure out how f-ed up these people are? The real question should be is why she is writing an article for the Washington Post?

Anyway, she wrote an article called Yes, Kink Belongs at Pride. And I Want My Kids to See It. This article is about how all the perversion found in Pride Parades is not only acceptable but out kids should see it.

Let’s go through a couple of paragraphs:

“Just as we got settled, our elementary-schooler pointed in the direction of oncoming floats, raising an eyebrow at a bare-chested man in dark sunglasses whose black suspenders clipped into a leather thong. …[P]olicing how others show up doesn’t protect or uplift young people. Instead, homogenizing self-expression at Pride will do more harm to our children than good. When my own children caught glimpses of kink culture, they got to see that the queer community encompasses so many more nontraditional ways of being, living, and loving.”

Couple of things:

  • Why does an elementary schooler need to see this?
  • Why is this no illegal? If I walked around with a thong on, I’d think I’d be arrested and put on some sort of sex offender list.
  • How is this not child abuse?

Anti-kink advocates tend to manipulate language about safety and privacy by asserting that attendees are nonconsensually exposed to overt displays of sexuality. The most outrageous claim is that innocent bystanders are forced to participate in kink simply by sharing space with the kink community, as if the presence of kink at Pride is a perverse exhibition that kinksters pursue for their own gratification. But kinksters at Pride are not engaged in sex acts — and we cannot confuse their self-expression with obscenity. Co-opting the language of sexual autonomy only serves to bury that truth and muddies the seriousness of other conversations about consent.

Couple of things:

  • Anti-kink (Conservatives) tend to manipulate language? Is she kidding?
  • If naked guys are walking on the public streets, they are forcing themselves on people non-consensually.
  • Kink is a perverse form of exhibition for self gratification. Exhibition is illegal.
  • Now she does what she accused Conservatives are doing: manipulating language. She’s calling obscenity, self expression. Self expression can also be obscenity.
  • If I expose my penis to a 10-year-old girl, according to Rowella, this is just self expression.

Rowella continues:

“Kink embodies the freedom that Pride stands for, reminding attendees to unapologetically take up space as an act of resistance and celebration — refusing to bend to social pressure that asks us to be presentable. That’s a value I want my children to learn.”

In the movie The Devil’s Advocate, Al Pacino plays Satan and tries to manipulate Keanu Reeves who is his son. He does this by using Reeves own Pride against him because Satan cannot get passed free will. After Reeves life is ruined and reeves is about to do what the devil wants, the devil says, “Vanity is my favorite sin.” He said that because the behavior of the overly proud is so easy because they are always doing things for themselves.

This woman, and all those that push perversion as “normal” are evil. They embrace sins such as pride and lust because they like it. Heck, they even call it the “Pride Parade.” We see that throughout the Left’s world. The seven deadly sins preached by the Bible are now virtues for the Left.

  • Fat shaming encourages gluttony.
  • Equity masks greed and envy.
  • Dependence on government handouts masks sloth.
  • Cancel culture masks wrath.

The result of all this is a loss of freedom and totalitarianism. This is what happens when God and morals are taken out of the culture. It’s been happening for years and we’ve ignored it. The Left has been chipping away at religion since the 60’s. They can’t have religion because a higher power means that government cannot truly rule. The government has to be the higher power.

In short, this woman’s ideas have become mainstream and are dangerous for our way of life.

What Is The End Goal?

Entertainment has had Leftist leanings since the 1940’s but now they’ve become indoctrination machines. Nothing shows this more than televisions shows and cartoon meant for kids pushing the LGBTQ agenda.

In an article from insider.com, entertainment companies such as Disney+, Nicolodian and Public Television are hiring writers based on their LGBTQ advocacy, not their writing styles. Companies are also hiring people by non-traditional means such as through Twitter and Facebook. The reason is these guys are not to be creating stories but expressing their stories about their lives as a non-cis person.

The result of this is that are a lot more gay, lesbian and trans characters than ever before. Right now, non-cis characters make up 23% of the characters on children’s programming but it could be as high as 30% because there are some characters whose gender can’t be determined. I’m not kidding, people are actually analyzing this crap.

The Insider said that not only is the trend going up but their goal is to get 50% of the children shows (for ages 3-12) to have some sort of non-cis education to them.

What’s the moral of this story? Don’t just plop your kid in front of the television and go off with your day. Those shows, no matter how seemingly innocent, are trying to teach our kids something we may not want them to know yet.

Isn’t This an Opinion

The largest teacher union in the country wants to change the history and geography of the Middle East. Their hate for Israel they have they now want to teach your kids.

National Education Association’s (NEA) annual representative meeting was “referred to the appropriate committee” and was crafted by NEA leadership that insists the union “must recognize the existence and sovereignty of Palestine and Palestinian children and families and their human right to access a quality education and live freely.”

They didn’t go all the way to boycott Israel but this is quite a bit.

The goal is to: “educate members and the general public about the history, culture, and struggles of Palestinians, including the detention and abuse of children in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.” 

Needless to say, not everyone agrees with this. Uri Pilocowski, a writer at The Times of Israel, opined that a Palestinian Authority administered state “would pose a danger to Israel’s security.”  She said:

“A government that promotes and turns a blind eye to terror can not be entrusted to run a state. A Palestinian government would have to include Hamas, a terrorist entity that vows to destroy Israel. This would make a Palestinian state a terror organization.” 

He’s right.

Israel isn’t “occupying” anything. They were on that land thousands of years before the Palestinians ever existed. In fact, there has never been a Palestinian country. Ever.

Also, the Palestinian government is made up of Hama, the Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian Authority. All three are terrorist organizations. They don’t want a territory and they have had several chances to get it. They want the elimination of Israel all together. Basically, they want to commit genocide. But our teachers don’t want to point any of this out.

So why? Because Israel, like the United States, runs their government based on the Judeo/Christian philosophy of morality. The Left can’t have that. And they will ignore all history and philosophy to be rid of something as “terrible” as religious morality and the establishment of a higher power. The teacher’s unions will lose their power and money and that’s what it’s all about.

More Changing of History

Speaking of destroying American history.

NEA Will Teach CRT in All 50 States

The NEA has committed to teach Critical Race Theory in over 14,000 districts in all 50 states in the United States, no matter what laws the states pass.

  • The union passed two items that will implement critical race theory into the classroom with the assistance of the union’s Ethnic Minority Affairs Caucuses.
  • They will “share and publicize” “information already available on critical race theory (CRT) — what it is and what it is not.” There will also be a team of staffers dedicated to providing members with information about how to “fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric; and share information with other NEA members as well as their community members.”
  • In what the NEA claims to be the inclusion of “accurate and honest teaching,” it vowed to “oppose attempts to ban critical race theory” and the New York Times’ “1619 Project,” which has been scrutinized by historians as ahistorical.
  • The NEA also vowed to team up with organizations such as Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project — named after the anti-American and factually challenged historian Howard Zinn — to call for an October 14 rally in honor of George Floyd’s birthday “as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression.”
  • According to the business items, implementing the newfound critical race theory strategy will cost the union an additional $127,600.

Banning History? Really?

Randi Weingarten (a truly terrible person who hates your kids), president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), on Sunday shared an article from The Washington Post that also falsely stated what opponents of CRT want.

She wrote:

“Incredibly important piece from [Kimberlé Crenshaw] about why these bans on teaching history and discussing racism in the classroom are so dangerous. Our students deserve to have the freedom to learn and discuss this in school.”

This is the biggest load of horseshit ever written. Anyone who knows anything of American history and the founding documents knows that Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project is crap. None of these promote history, they change it. This “theory” has the goal of implementing Marxism and tearing down the United States system. What’s worse, it doesn’t manipulate history, it changes history.

Here We Go

National Education Association (NEA) adopted a measure last week that attempts to stop the campaign against CRT spreading across the country, as parents learn what is actually being taught to their children is a new form of racism.

They said in a statement:

“NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked. The research, resources, and recommendations will be shared with members through NEA’s social media, an article in NEA Today, and a recorded virtual presentation/webinar.”

This is what the Left does and why they are so heavy into Cancel Culture. Here’s the big problem: The Left can’t defend Critical Race Theory. It is based on lies. Lies about history, lies about individuals and lies about our philosophy.

The 1619 Project was based on changing history so that the theory works. Even the New York Times, 7 months after it was released, had to admit the history was wrong. The creator of the project, Nikole Hannah Jones, said that facts were not as important as the message. It’s a lie.

I read you the introduction from How to be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi and I showed the whole premise of Critical Race Theory was based on a lie.

The Skinny

It’s impossible to hide your children from the world. I would suggest it as a bad idea because they are going to have to face the real world eventually. But one should monitor what they watch, monitor what the see and monitor what they are taught. One should then teach them the values that have made this country the most successful country in human history.

When they grow up, they’ll get it.

Episode 353 – Now They Get It?

It’s George Floyd Day! Yay!

 

It’s George Floyd Day!

Happy George Floyd Day!

That’s right. We got rid of:

  • Lincoln’s Birthday
  • Washington’s Birthday
  • Columbus Day

But we must celebrate the day that a drug addicted felon died because of all his death did so much to improve society in just a year. In Minneapolis, Black Lives Matter can see how their philosophy has improved the country by simply looking at the celebration being held at George Floyd square. Watch:

Yep, a shoot out. Minneapolis police showed up right away. Not. Minneapolis has lost a substantial portion of their police force and it wouldn’t matter anyway. They’re not allowed to arrest anyone and, if they have the audacity to arrest someone, that person would be released right away.

Now, we are supposed to celebrate all the great changes that Black Lives Matter has done since the George Floyd’s. I mean, they’re calling it an anniversary. But, I have a question: What has Black Lives Matter done that was good besides make $90 million? I know the damage they’ve done:

  • There was $2-3 billion of damage that was done during riots last year. They’re still happening.
  • Murders and violent crimes are up throughout the country by 20%. Some cities are up over 100%.
  • Police a retiring, going on leave or quitting a record rates. Most police forces are facing a staff shortage.
  • People are not becoming police anymore. New York is down 75% with new recruits.
  • They are ignoring the murders of blacks by other blacks. Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit have a huge black-on-black murder problem.
  • Crime in large, blue cities is no longer being enforced. Felons are being released.
  • Black Lives Matter made $90 million and have given none to society to improve it. But Patrice Cuellors, the founder, did buy three homes.

I don’t know what they’re celebrating. Black Lives Matter has just made things worse.

 

Oh, Now You Get It

The leadership in a lot of the big blue cities seem absolutely shocked at the major spike in crime. I guess trying to take money away from police departments and condemning every move they make without looking at all the evidence has not worked the way they thought it would.

Jacob Frye, the effeminate mayor of Minneapolis, said:

“The violence needs to stop, its unacceptable. People deserve to feel safe in their neighborhood, they deserve to be able to send their kids out to the sidewalk to play and to recreate without bullets flying by. That’s unacceptable. We should be holding these perpetrators accountable.”

In another press conference, Frye said:

“When you make big, overarching statements that we’re going to defund or abolish and dismantle the police department and get rid of all the officers, there’s an impact to that.”

He has called for federal and state help since violent crime climbed 21% over the last year.

In Los Angeles, the idiot mayor Eric Garcetti cut $150 million from the police. That brilliant move increase violent crime 36%. Murders are at a 10 year high of 350. The city council, reversing themselves, have approved hiring 250 new officers.

In New York City, they experienced a more than 50% jump in the number of shootings over the same time last year. The spike comes after last year when jumped 97% and the murders across the city increased 45% over 2019. The dumbass mayor Bill de Blasio promised to cut $1 billion from the police budget. That was a lie. He didn’t. Now he has approved to build a brand new police precinct.

None of this is actually being covered because most of the media and the Left still want cuts to the police departments. In fact, they want to eliminate the police all together. But that’s the problem when those people are not in leadership. They are not responsible when the consequences for their bad ideas come to fruition. In fact, they twist those consequences and try to make them proof that their ideas are necessary. For example, Jen Psaki was asked about the crime problem and she said that it was a gun problem.

Everything with the Left is about politics and the narrative. It’s never about common sense.

 

But, What?

So the leaders in Minneapolis have an idea on how to lower crime: innocent citizens should talk about it. No crap.

Minneapolis community leaders held a “take back the block” rally at Shiloh Temple in north Minneapolis last week to kick off a campaign of community pushback to violent crime. On Monday, volunteers took to the streets of Minneapolis in a display meant to signify that criminals do not run the city.

Rev. Brian Herron said at the rally:

“It isn’t an invasion of your block — this is support of your block. We want to see you come out. We want to see you sitting on your stoop.”

Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety John Harrington tried his little misdirection I talked about in the last story:

“We have to get the guns off the streets. We cannot live with this insanity.”

See the misdirection? Get the cops off the streets, violent crime goes up and it’s the guns, not the criminals, that cause crime.

One of the things police have a hard time with is actually getting witnesses and get help for catching violent felons.

Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said:

“Minneapolis police officers will continue to rush into harm’s way to save lives; however, we need help from community leaders and residents to stand up and speak out.”

I think this is true. I think people are too afraid to report anything to the police. But I also think it is leadership’s fault for not putting away violent felons. Hey, it’s the people living in the neighborhoods that have to deal with the issues when that felon is released, and he will be released. There are no consequences for committing crime in Minneapolis and, therefore, no motivation not to commit crime. Criminals are not usually very smart. All they understand are hard consequences. They cannot be reasoned with.

I also think this is a bad idea because leadership, by asking people to help, is targeted policing, not proactive policing. Criminals need to see that they are going to get caught by a police presence. If I am walking down the street and I am planning to rob a house but I see a cop on the corner, guess what? I won’t rob the house. If I am walking down the street at 2 AM and a cop sees me, stops me and finds that I am carrying a crow bar, a gun and a flashlight, he used to be able to arrest me for carrying robbery tools. Boom, no crime. That is proactive policing.

If I commit a robbery, rape or murder because their were no police around and the cops find our who I am, this is targeted policing. It’s too late. I might have gotten caught had policing been proactive.

 

When They Say No, They Mean Yes

A couple of weeks ago, there was a meme on Twitter that made fun of Joe Biden’s policies limiting the beef intake of American citizens for climate change. Jen Psaki was asked about it and she said she didn’t know what the reporter was talking about. I did not

An article from Vox called A no-beef diet is great — but only if you don’t replace it with chicken. Let’s not swap one moral disaster for another  b

Most people have heard it by now: Our meat habit is bad for the world. Polling suggests that tens of millions of people are taking this message seriously: One in four Americans said they tried to cut back on meat in the last year, and half of those cited environmental concerns as a major reason. The popular food site Epicurious recently announced they’ve stopped publishing recipes with beef in them, because of beef’s climate impacts, setting off the latest round of discussion on meat’s effects on the environment.

Have you ever met a vegetarian? You know what they always tell you? That they’re a vegetarian.

Now I know it is not all vegetarians. But a lot of them are self-congratulating, condescending prigs. When they found out that, not only is vegetarianism is healthy, they will also scream that it is saving the environment.

Here’s a news flash: Meat is a healthy part of a diet. It has all the major amino acids and complete proteins that one can’t get on a vegetarian or vegan diet. Men, who have more muscle and bone density, require those amino acids and proteins that meat provides. That’s why most vegan men are incredibly thin and frail looking. Now, does that mean men can’t be vegan? No. All it means is that if a man is a vegan, he has to eat a lot more to obtain what a piece of meat could give immediately.

Cutting meat consumption is as smart an idea as advertised. Industrial farming — the source of 99 percent of the meat Americans eat — provides the world with cheap meat, but it does so at a terrible environmental and moral cost.

Where it gets complicated is when people decide which meat, exactly, they’ll be cutting back on. Often, it’s beef that loses out in that calculus. And often, the messaging is that we can save the world by switching out our beef consumption for chicken.

The problem with this message is that switching beef for chicken basically amounts to trading one moral catastrophe for another.

Get that? No meat at all. Sound familiar? Can you say “Green New Deal”.

The environmental reasons for cutting beef from one’s diet are clear. Most of the climate impact of animal agriculture comes from raising cows for beef. Cows produce methane, a greenhouse gas that is a major contributor to global warming; it’s much more potent than carbon dioxide. Transitioning away from eating beef to eating other factory-farmed animal products undoubtedly reduces the carbon impact of a person’s diet.

But the transition away from beef can end up being a Pyrrhic victory if it drives up the world’s rapidly rising chicken consumption. That ends up swapping one disaster — the climate crisis and beef farming’s role in it — for another: the moral disaster of industrial chicken production.

Here’s the good news. This writer is probably a socialist. If socialism comes to this country, none of us will have any food to eat anyway. History kind of tells us that.

To put it simply, it takes many, many more chicken lives than cow lives to feed people. Cows are big, so raising one produces about 500 pounds of beef — and at the rate at which the average American eats beef, it takes about 8.5 years for one person to eat one cow. But chickens are much smaller, producing only a few pounds of meat per bird, with the average American eating about one whole chicken every two weeks. To put it another way, each year we eat about 23 chickens and just over one-tenth of one cow (and about a third of one pig).

The choice to swap beef for chicken is further compounded by the differences in their quality of life. Cows are raised for slaughter on pastures and feedlots — enclosed spaces where they’re fed grain in preparation for slaughter. Most animal well-being experts say that the life of a cow raised for beef is punctuated by traumatic events and cut needlessly short, but it’s not ceaseless torture.

This is a typical PETA article.

On the other hand, factory-farmed chickens — and that’s 99 percent of all chickens we eat — have an awful life from the moment they’re born to the moment they’re slaughtered. The most efficient way to raise chickens is in massive, ammonia-choked, noisy warehouses, where the birds grow so rapidly (due to genetic selection for excessive size) that their legs can’t support their weight. They live about six weeks and then are killed.

So switching from cows to chickens is a way to somewhat reduce carbon emissions — but it comes with a massive increase in animal suffering.

Choosing between the two is a knotty dilemma that tends not to be discussed often. But this tension isn’t inevitable. After all, climate advocates and animal advocates are on the same side: supporting a transition away from industrial agriculture. And most people care about both animals and the environment, so addressing factory farming is a simple win-win.

The solution to factory farming’s many harms can’t be shuffling consumers between chicken and beef depending which of their devastating impacts is on the top of our minds. And consumers shouldn’t accept as inevitable the choice between torturing animals and dramatically worsening global warming. There is a path to a food system that doesn’t force us to choose, but we’re going to need to take much bigger steps, in terms of policy and consumer choice, to get there.

OK, there is a lot more to this article and you can click on the link to read it. It is just more environmental craziness. I want you to notice some things about it:

  • Environmentalism has become a religion, determining now what you are allowed to eat.
  • The article is very loose with the science. Human beings are made to eat meat and have since our appearance on the earth.
  • Now am I against veganism or some of their philosophies? No, I’m not.
    • There are health benefits.
    • Slaughter houses are cruel.
    • Eventually, they will create an artificial meat.
  • This is a part of the Green New Deal. This craziness was never a thing before that stupid proposal AOC came up with.
  • And the article never addressed this: If we all stop eating meat, what do you do with the cows in chicken? Look what’s going on in India.

This environmental crap is all just insane. These people think they have all the answers no matter how crazy they are and everything involves taking away our freedoms. We can’t drive. We can’t fly. We can’t eat meat. We can’t have coal or oil or energy.

Episode 333 I Love Talking About Dumb

Sometimes we, as Americans, are so busy worrying about dumb things that we forget there are actually real issues in the world.

Let’s go through some of the news, talk about some of those dumb things and then talk about some of those things we might be missing.

 

Rest in Peace

Walter Mondale passed away at the age of 93. Most people won’t remember much about him and that’s not a surprise. He wasn’t a really relevant politician in my time.

  • He was born on January 25, 1928 in Minneapolis, MN.
  • He served as a Senator from Minnesota from 1964-1976.
  • He served as Vice President under Jimmie Carter from 1976-1980.
  • He ran for President in 1984 against Ronald Reagan.
  • Mondale chose U.S. Representative Geraldine Ferraro from New York as his running mate, making her the first woman nominated for that position by a major party.
  • He ran on raising taxes to cut the deficit and support the ERA.
  • He lost that election by one of the largest landslides in history, only winning his home state and Washington DC.

 

What a Dumbass

The judge in the Derrick Chauvin trial had some rather harsh words about Maxine Watters during a request for a mistrial. Judge Peter Cahill said:

Cahill also said that this could be means for overturning a verdict on appeal since it sis sound like Watters was trying to intimidate the jury. The defense council brought up the fact the jury was not sequestered and the news of the trial is everywhere. The judge rejected the defense’s stance saying there was no evidence the jury was not following his orders not to watch the news.

What Happens When Libs Get Extra Money

Los Angeles is $5.1 billion in debt. Now, that’s not the state of California, that only Los Angeles. That will cost each tax payer would have to pay an extra $4000 to dig us out of this debt.

Now, Los Angeles and California will receive money from Joe Biden’s COVID recovery bill, which is something that really turned Republicans off to the law. Actually, it turned off all of the Republicans. So is the mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, going to used that money to balance his mismanaged budget? Of course. He’s going to spend it.

It has been reported that Eric Garcetti is going to implement a Universal Basic Income trial that will give $1000 a month to 2000 families in Los Angeles below the federal poverty line. This is part of his Equity and Justice budget.

The program is called “BIG: LEAP,” an acronym for Basic Income Guaranteed: L.A. Economic Assistance Pilot. It will cost $24 million.

When asked, Garcetti said:

“We have to end America’s addiction to poverty. For families who can’t think past the next bill, the next shift or the next health problem that they have, we can give them the space to not only dream of a better life, but to actualize it.”

OK:

  • So he expects to end poverty by giving away money?
  • What this actually does it put more people under more dependence of the government.
  • Universal Basic Income has been tried over and over again and has failed.
  • It was tried in Stockton, California for about three months. Guess what happened? Stockton ran out of money.
  • It’s these redistribution programs which are killing California and is causing their tax base, like Tesla, to move out of California.
  • I think it would be much better if Mayor Garcetti decided to pay off his debt instead of giving money away and increasing the debt.

Changing of Language

President Joe Biden has banned federal immigration agencies from using terms such as “alien,” “assimilation,” and “illegal alien” in official documents and statements.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director Tae Johnson said:

“In response to the vision set by the Administration, ICE will ensure agency communications use the preferred terminology and inclusive language.”

OK:

  • The term, “illegal alien” is a legal term. It has nothing to do with race.
  • Biden is changing the terms to make illegal aliens more legal. I won’t change my usage of the term for this reason.
  • It amazes me that the reason Biden is contacting ICE is to change their terminology. You’d think he’d be more worried about the disaster on the border than the terms they use in their reports.

How Is She an Expert?

Greta Thunberg has come out of her basement and continued to chastise society for not doing what she wants us to do. I think this is great because now she is 18-years-old and now I can make fun of her without being accused of being mean to a child (which I never gave a damn about anyway).

Here she is at a World Health Organization presser discussing how the vaccine distribution is not equitable:

A few things here:

What is she doing at a WHO presser? She just, theoretically, a high school graduate. She has no expertise in anything and is autistic. As far as I’m concerned, this really damages the already rickety credibility of the WHO. And who is she to listen to when in comes to prioritizing who gets vaccinated.

I will also point out that she never actually thinks anything of this up. We already know that her father is running her Twitter account. If you watch the video, one can see she is actually reading a prepared statement. In the past, when she had to speak in front of the press without any preparation, she couldn’t seem to get a word out. She should just have her parents talk to the WHO.

A couple of things she says here are kind of odd:

  • The richer countries are getting vaccinated, and I think she’s specifically speaking of the United States because she hates us, we came up with the vaccine. We pain for the production of the vaccine. If Ghana wants the vaccine, they can invent, produce and distribute it.
  • She also brings up this from the stance of globalism and anti-capitalism. That’s her real thing. She does the same thing with environmentalism. She doesn’t go to China about any of this. She points only to the United States. She detests nationalism which the left always associates with white nationalism or white supremacy.
  • I’m a proud nationalist. You know what other country is? China.

The Real Problems

Remember I said a while back that we have become such a self-centered society we only fight about the stupid things and are missing that there is an entire world out there? By the way, I have two other stupid stories but you’ll have to wait for those till tomorrow.

We, Joe Biden’s weakness is beginning to embolden other countries and is pissing other leaders. Jen Psaki is being asked some question about it and her answer is always to circle-back to it. But we are really looking at some serious conflicts that are probably going to read their heads in the next year and I don’t know if the administration has the leadership to deal with them.

  • Iran is purifying uranium to the highest purity that they ever reached, 60%. I think it might be a little late to rejoin the Iranian Nuclear Agreement.
  • China is running fighter jets over Taiwan. The Taiwanese have asked for more weapons to counter the threat.
  • Russia’s military is building up on the Ukrainian border. The troop counts are as high as they were since the 2014 invasion of Crimea.
  • North Korea has started missile testing again and still refuses to communicate with the Biden administration.
  • The Presidents of El Salvador, Guatemala and  Honduras are blaming the Biden administration for opening the borders and causing mass migrations from their countries. This is an issue for them because they are losing working age males.
  • The President of Mexico is blaming Biden for the open border policy because the cartels are getting rich and more powerful through human trafficking. This is making them hard for the Mexican government to deal with.

 

We are so busy in this country worrying about race, police, equity and whether a man can compete against women we are missing the big picture.

By the way, did you know the United States flew a drone on Mars yesterday.

Episode 314 – What a Shock!

Two people have been arrested in the death of Brian Sicknick during the January 6th riot at the Capitol building and the media cheers while ignoring the other fifty riots spreading throughout the country by Antifa and BLM.

And the Catholic church does something that it has done for the last 2000 years (and beyond) and everyone is surprised.

 

Still Don’t know What’s Up

Two men sprayed Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick with bear spray during the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to charging documents unsealed on Monday.

Julian Khater of Pennsylvania and George Tanios of West Virginia have been charged with assault for allegedly hitting Sicknick, who died a day after the riot, with the chemical spray.

There still is no information how Sicknick died. The autopsy has not been released. But it wasn’t a fire extinguisher as the the New York Times initially reported.

Now, this doesn’t change anything. If Sicknick died due to being sprayed in the face with mace, these two should be charged with murder, not assault. The fact that they were not charged with murder or something in the vicinity of murder leaves some questions as to what happened.

There have been 315 arrests so far over these riots out of about 500 rioters. I’m going to say this: that is awesome. They should catch every one of them.

With that. let’s talk about what is happening in Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-two-charged-with-assaulting-officer-brian-sicknick-during-january-6-riot

 

What About These?

Antifa Riots

I had to do some math here but it has been about 69 days since the January 6th Capitol riots. That has been all the news media has talked about. What they are ignoring is that antifa and BLM have had dozens of riots since then.

In Minneapolis, antifa and BLM have opened another autonomous zone within the area that George Floyd died called the George Floyd square. Once again, the Leftist government are just letting it go.

The zone takes up about four blocks and police are not allowed. Businesses are threatened and closed. The press is not allowed in. Basically, people’s lives are being destroyed. This is all in preparation for the Derrick Chauvin trial. The city is already preparing for rioting because no one is really sure if this guy is going to get convicted.

Would you consider this an insurrection? On Sunday, someone was killed within the autonomous zone by a drive by shooting. Police could not get in to help and he died.

By the way, Minneapolis gave $27 million to George Floyd’s family as a death settlement. This is probably going to delay Chauvin’s trial because it makes Chauvin look guilty. How an ex-felon, drug addict is worth $27 million is beyond me.

In Portland, things are going really well.

Antifa decided to threatened to burn down a federal court house. Then they threatened security inside. Then they vandalized it. The government didn’t arrest anyone. Instead they put up fencing and barriers. Antifa tried to attack the courthouse but failed because there were barriers. They arrest a couple of antifa members, who were just released a few hours later with no charges.

Things were quiet for a few days so they took down the fencing and barriers. Then, this weekend, it was the anniversary of Brionna Taylor’s death and antifa tried to burn down the same federal courthouse. Fifteen people were arrested including one guy who was arrested a few days before.

These antifa and BLM riots have been occurring all over the country including Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Seattle. There have been dozens of riots since the Capitol riots and less than 50 have been arrested. See a problem?

Why All the Love for Antifa?

The Left doesn’t believe in antifa as a terrorist organization and they have been saying this for the past year, even during the peak of the violence over the summer when the violence peaked.

Here’s Jerry Nadler:

Here’s President Biden during his debate with Trump last year:

Here’s Joy Beihardt yesterday on the The View talking about comments Ron Johnson made about antifa:

So, let’s get this straight once and for all: Antifa is real. It has been around since the 1940s. Antifa is using the same emblem they were using in the 1940s. They have a flag. They have a uniform. Though not centralized, they sects. They have a hierarchy within those sects. They have funding and a support staff. They travel from riot to riot. They’re armed. They have philosophical literature. They have a training program. They have a recruitment process.

Antifa, in some ways, is more organized and better funded than ISIS. And they have caused a lot of damage. They are not a myth. Not an idea. And not fiction. They exist.

With all the crap being brought up about a riot in Washington DC that lasted for three hours and 60% of the perpetrators have been arrested, why does the Left continually down play antifa and BLM, which have been rioting for almost a year and have caused between $2-3 billion in damage?

Because the Left wants antifa and BLM. They want that police force that does their bidding. Mussolini has his Black Shirts. Hitler had his Brown Shirts (the SS). Stalin had the NKVD. Each organization was a terrorist organization used to keep the people in line. Now the Democrats have antifa. This why they are not condemned, arrested, prosecuted and are ignored by the Leftist media.

It’s really scary to see all of the parallels between totalitarian governments and what’s happening in America today.

What’s the Surprise?

The Vatican declared Monday that the Catholic Church cannot bless gay unions because God “cannot bless sin.”

The decree came as the Vatican’s orthodoxy office, called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), responded to a question about whether Catholic clergy can bless same-sex unions.

The church has previously welcomed gay people into its fold but does not recognize their unions as marriages. Instead, Catholic doctrine teaches that marriage is a union between a man and woman.

The decree states:

“The presence in such relationships of positive elements, which are in themselves to be valued and appreciated, cannot justify these relationships and render them legitimate objects of an ecclesial blessing, since the positive elements exist within the context of a union not ordered to the Creator’s plan.”

God “does not and cannot bless sin: He blesses sinful man, so that he may recognize that he is part of his plan of love and allow himself to be changed by him,”

By the way, God’s plan for marriage is that the couple will have children. Obviously, a gay couple cannot have children together. If you’ve ever been married in a Catholic church, it is the main covenant that the couple makes to God. To have children and raise the children as good Catholics.

Pope Francis holds a lot of Leftist thoughts but he still has not shied away from keeping the traditions of the Church. Gay marriage and abortion have been real problems for the Catholic church and he has not relented in the least. Pope Francis has even criticized politicians of support abortion like Joe Biden.

Don Lemon took real offense to this. Which is weird and I’ll say why in a second. He’s gay and engaged. He decided to put his two cents in on The View:

OK, a few things here:

  • Don Lemon used to be a Baptist and is non-denominational that “believes in a higher power.”
  • Catholicism has been around for 2000 years. I’m pretty sure that there has been a philosopher or two that are more wise than Don Lemon.
  • Just because the Catholic church says they can’t bless his marriage doesn’t mean he still can’t get married.
  • God’s main role is to judge.

 

Sorry this upsets Don Lemon but the Catholic church is not going to change 2000 years of doctrine and philosophy because Don Lemon is gay and offended even though he is not a Catholic.

The Biden administration was not thrilled with the church’s decision not to bless gay marriage. Jen Psaki said that she did not have a message from Biden personally, but as a “devout Catholic” still believes in gay marriage.

Joe Biden is a devout Catholic? He believes in abortion up till the moment of birth. He has been refused communion. I’ll go a step forward: He does not support free will or choice. His belief in big government and telling people what to do goes against the Bible. How do I know that? The Founding Father wrote the Constitution based on freedom of the individual and the contraction of the federal government. This belief was based on Judeo Christian philosophy.

In the end, this bitching about a Catholic edict that has been around for 2000 years is meant to demonize the Catholic church. The church goes against Leftist philosophy. Yes, Pope Francis is a Leftist that believes in redistribution, environmentalism and is against capitalism but when the rubber hits the road, he will follow doctrine. Because he has too. No matter whose feelings it hurts.

Episode 307 – The Generation of the Damned

This is an incredible story and it shows the societal failures within the United States. This is a lesson on what needs to happen within society but, also, no one reads the tea leaves and makes any effort to solve the problems.

It is a parable about the circle of failure that has been going on for generations and, reading the blame game of the article, will be with us for generations after.

I hope this story scares you. I hope this story depresses you. I hope this story, which could easily have been avoided, shocks you into doing something about it.

 

The Story

I like covering the news. Sometimes, the news comes wild and wooly and I can’t keep up. I do have limited resources.

I had three stories ready to go for today but there was an unrelated story I just couldn’t ignore. It is a real life social commentary on what the Left is trying to do to our society and has been for generations.

This is an extremely disturbing story that is happening more often that not. And it is the reason were, as a country, are in the position we are in right now.

This story is from Fox Baltimore and is titled, City student passes three classes in four years, tanks near the top of his class with a 0.13 GPA by Chris Papst.

It’s as bad as you think.

A shocking discovery out of a Baltimore City high school, where Project Baltimore has found hundreds of students are failing. It’s a school where a student who passed three classes in four years, ranks near the top half of his class with a 0.13 grade point average.

Tiffany France thought her son would receive his diploma this coming June. But after four years of high school, France just learned, her 17-year-old must start over. He’s been moved back to ninth grade.

“He’s stressed and I am too. I told him I’m probably going to start crying. I don’t know what to do for him,” France told Project Baltimore. “Why would he do three more years in school? He didn’t fail, the school failed him. The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that’s the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn’t deserve that.”

I want to point out the self-centeredness of France’s comment here. She’s going to cry. “They” failed him. This is a set up for her not taking any responsibility for her son’s education.

There were a lot of failures here. Not just Tiffany’s failure. But placing 100% blame and not acknowledging blame elsewhere does not solve the problem.

Hint: Tiffany is partially to blame.

France’s son attends Augusta Fells Savage Institute of Visual Arts in west Baltimore. His transcripts show he’s passed just three classes in four years, earning 2.5 credits, placing him in ninth grade. But France says she didn’t know that until February. She has three children and works three jobs. She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. His transcripts show he failed Spanish I and Algebra I but was promoted to Spanish II and Algebra II. He also failed English II but was passed on to English III.

“I’m just assuming that if you are passing, that you have the proper things to go to the next grade and the right grades, you have the right credits,” said France.

She assumed? Really? She thought he was doing well even if she knew he was failing all his classes, so she knew? She didn’t bother to inquire? It is her son, right?

I also don’t care if she is working three jobs. There’s no sympathy for an absent parent from me. Why? Because I was a single parent too and I had to make changes to my life to deal with my kids. More on that one later.

As we dig deeper into her son’s records, we can see in his first three years at Augusta Fells, he failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days. But in those three years, only one teacher requested a parent conference, which France says never happened. No one from the school told France her son was failing and not going to class.

“I feel like they never gave my son an opportunity, like if there was an issue with him, not advancing or not progressing, that they should have contacted me first, three years ago,” said France.

There are two things to question here:

One – He was absent for 272 days and the parent didn’t know? She was asked to have a parent/teacher conference but it never happened? She didn’t follow up?

Two – Where were the authorities? Absent for 272 days and minimal effort to contact the parent? The school, child services and police should have all been involved. Where were they?

In his four years at Augusta Fells, France’s son earned a GPA of 0.13. He only passed three classes, but his transcripts show his class rank is 62 out of 120. This means, nearly half his classmates, 58 of them, have a 0.13 grade point average or lower.

“He’s a good kid. He didn’t deserve that. Where’s the mentors? Where is the help for him? I hate that this is happening to my child,” said an emotional France.

Project Baltimore talked with a City Schools administrator, who works inside North Avenue, but asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation. That administrator says the school system absolutely failed France’s son.

Tiffany France is completely correct. Where was everyone? Where were the mentors, the authorities and the teachers?

But she did forget one person. Where was the parent, Tiffany France? Where was the kid’s father (more on that later)?

The administrator told FOX45 News, City Schools failed because it has protocols and interventions set up to help students who are falling behind or have low attendance. In France’s son’s case, they didn’t happen.

“I get angry. There’s nothing but frustration. We see on the news the crime that occurs, the murders, the shootings, we know that there are high levels of poverty in Baltimore. Things like this are adding to that. His transcript is not unusual to me. I’ve seen many transcripts, many report cards, like this particular student,” said the City Schools administrator.

Hmm. So what the administrator is saying is the system failed. Have we heard this before?

Dr. Sonja Santelises was the City Schools CEO four years ago when France’s son was a freshman. But she will not interview with FOX45 News. Instead, we received a two-page statement, which explains what should happen when a student is chronically absent or failing.

The district says students received a letter about their academic status this past summer, and records can be accessed through the campus portal. When a student is absent, an automated call is placed to the number on file. The statement also said the school conducted recent home visits and the student’s parent visited the school. France says none of that happened.

What the statement does not address, is why France’s son was promoted despite failing classes. It doesn’t discuss his class rank, or the 58 other students with a GPA of 0.13 or lower. But it does say North Avenue is “reviewing actions that impacted student outcomes” at the school prior to this year.

What does this tell us? The system doesn’t care. The system will not be held accountable and they do not have to answer for their failures. This child is not a victim, he’s the problem. Hey, they sent several automated messages and gave him a letter.

By the way, just a reminder. The system is the government.

“It took a lot for me to just build the courage to do this,” France told Project Baltimore.

I want to point something out: Tiffany France is not a hero. She’s not a whistleblower and she shouldn’t be celebrated as such. She neglected her child. That is a heavy statement and it is not all France’s fault. But her child is her responsibility. She also failed. We’ll get into that later.

Project Baltimore asked the City Schools administrator what they would say to France. The administrator replied, “I didn’t have a hand on this student, but I worked for City Schools. So, he is one of my kids. I would hug her, and I would apologize profusely.”

This is the problem with a bureaucracy. There is nobody who is directly responsible. That’s bureaucracy is a machine and not people. It is processed paper and moving student numbers through the system so they can be “promoted” and be the problem of the next bureaucracy. There are no human beings in a bureaucracy, just numbers.

“He feels embarrassed, he feels like a failure,” France said of her son. “I’m like, you can’t feel like that. And you have to be strong and you got to keep fighting. Life is about fighting. Things happen, but you got to keep fighting. And he’s willing, he’s trying, but who would he turn to when the people that’s supposed to help him is not? Who do he turn to?”

France has pulled her son out of Augusta Fells. He’s now enrolled in an accelerated school program at Francis M. Wood in west Baltimore. If her son works hard, he could graduate by 2023.

Too little, too late. This child may not be able to break the cycle he and his mother and probably his grandmother is in. That might seem cynical and I’m sorry for that, but we have heard this story a thousand times before.

But how can this happen and how do we break this cycle.

 

This is a Societal Problem

 

Death of the Nuclear Family

Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty (1965) destroyed the nuclear family. Men were no longer necessary in the family because of welfare and food stamps. Women could receive more government assistance with no husband and a bunch of kids. I am oversimplifying this but not by much.

Feminism made sure every woman realized they did not need a man in their lives even with children.

The erosion of the importance of religion decayed the need for a family to stay together. It used to be that one only divorces if there is no other option. Today’s generations don’t even bother getting married.

Studies have shown the effects of a family made up of a father and mother has on children. It’s not even close. Today, over 50% of children are born out of wedlock (75% in the black community).

Episode 264 – So Much Unity!

Democrats keep pushing that message of unity.

Communists hate religion.

And let’s do stupid on a Friday.

 

So Much Unity

Former President Barack Obama blamed Fox News and conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday for losing the “connection” he claims he had with conservatives before he was president.

Obama said during a virtual gala:

“I ended up getting enormous support in these pretty conservative, rural, largely white communities when I was a senator, and that success was repeated when I ran for president in the first race in Iowa.”

“By my second year in office, I’m not sure if I could make that same connection, because now those same people are filtering me through Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and an entire right-wing or conservative media infrastructure that was characterizing me in a way that suggested I looked down on those folks or had nothing in common with them.”

Here’s the fact. Obama was one of the most divisive Presidents in U.S. history.

Anytime someone questioned his policies, he would claim racism.

He said that conservatives just wanted to “cling to guns or religion.”

He demonized the police at every turn. During the Michael Brown shooting, Obama did not cool the temperature in St. Louis. He raised it by saying that blacks must face police violence on a daily basis even though all evidence showed that the Brown shooting was justified.

He pushed the racist thing with Trayvon Martin by saying he could be “his son.”

Obama never negotiated with Republicans during his tenure. He either pushed his policies through executive order or by midnight votes by a Democratic Congress.

But what is most annoying is that he never takes responsibility for his words and actions. It’s always the fault of racist, bigoted, homophobe, sexist conservatives. It isn’t him that is divisive. It’s everybody else who doesn’t believe in him or his policies.

He also ignores what his own supporters and party is saying about conservatives and Trump supporters.

Listen to this rambling threat from Democratic state representative, Cynthia Jones:

I had to really hunt for this clip. YouTube and other platforms have actually deleted the video. Probably because it makes Democrats look nasty, not because it is a direct threat.

This is just a terrible thing to say and I cannot believe that she was not condemned for saying this. But it also shows us that there can be no unity.

We’re Going to See More of This

Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned an ultra-Orthodox synagogue in Brooklyn on Tuesday that he will shut them down “once and for all” if they continue to flout his lockdown orders.

During a Tuesday press conference, de Blasio was asked about a large indoor funeral held Monday by Congregation Yetev Lev D’Satmar, a prominent synagogue in Williamsburg that was also recently fined $15,000 for secretly conducting a large indoor wedding in November.

De Blasio said to the Gothamist:

“If we see another confirmed situation in which an inappropriate event is happening in that same building, then we’re going to have to move to shut down the building once and for all. That would be the next step if we see non-compliance.”

“I do think there’s an ideological factor that’s making things a lot harder.”

De Blasio has pissed  on churches and synagogues since the pandemic started. He Tweeted in April when the pandemic started:

“My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed. I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.”

Bill de Blasio is a communist and has always hated religion. He has done everything he can to make life hard on religion, especially Jews,

His city has the highest levels of anti-Semitism of any city in the country.

He is using this pandemic to get rid of religion. He’s not the only one. This is happening in Illinois, Michigan, Virginia and California.

Listen to Virginia Democratic governor, Ralph Northem talk about church services:

This is what Democrats don’t get. It is not about praying. It’s about community. It’s support for one another.

Now, to the Stupid

At Least It’s Not a Nobel Prize

TIME Magazine faced widespread backlash online after the left-leaning publication selected Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as their “person of the year,” which prompted calls even from the political left for the recognition to go to doctors and scientists.

Time released a statement:

“Person of the Year is not an award — it is a marker. It is history as it’s written, whether good or bad.”

  • Writer Kyle Smith: “Wow the media are so ready for the Harris Era. Hire a food taster, Uncle Joe, they’re already done with you.”
  • Commentator Pat Condell: “Ha ha. On the credibility scale, this is right up there with Obama’s phoney peace prize. Time magazine is a laughing stock.”
  • Journalist Curtis Houck: “Time doesn’t care about you, the people. It’s all about THEM. It’s all about their circles in D.C., LA, and New York. It’s all partisanship for them. Cloaked in ‘unity’ and ‘equality,’ they have nothing but venom for people who aren’t Democrats or on the side of the mob.”
  • Columnist Eli Lake: “I get that the magazine is trying to seem hip and appeal to zoomers and millennials, but this is such obvious pandering.”
  • Economist Brian Riedl: “With all due respect, Biden spent much of the year in a basement and won what was a referendum on the other guy. Harris was even less visible as a VP nominee after badly losing the primary. It clearly should have been health care workers, or those working on the COVID vaccine.”

 

This is typical. Obama got a Nobel prize though, to his credit, he did not know why. Trump, who has:

  • Inked four Middle East peace deals.
  • Had unemployment down to record lows for all groups.
  • Got rid of ISIS.
  • Was the only modern President not involved in a war.
  • Lowered tensions with North Korea.
  • Killed two terrorist leaders.
  • Pushed for a COVID vaccine faster than any in history.
  • Lowered taxes.
  • Has put China on notice.
  • Created Space Force.

 

Has never been made person of the year. Yeah, I’m probably a little bitter about it.

Why Actors Don’t Make Policy

Actor Chris Rock believes that Joe Biden would do the world a favor if he created a “Supreme Court of Science” to decide matters related to public health and the environment.

This intellectual giant said:

“I would hope that Mr. Biden institutes some scientific department — like, the Supreme Court of Science, just for the lack of a better name — that would be in charge of anything medical or environmental. Basically, I would hope that the government instills a mechanism, so that if there’s ever anything environmental or medical, this mechanism would take over — thus, eliminating politics out of a life-and-death situation.”

“Because we didn’t just experience a pandemic. You know, Donald Trump did this thing… Like, when security companies build new locks or security systems, they hire crooks to show you the weaknesses of the system. Well, Donald Trump showed us the weakness of our government. Now, it’s up to Joe Biden and Congress and the Senate to get rid of those weaknesses — to instill safeguards that actually protect us from unqualified mad men and mad women, so that we never have to be at the mercy of a person that does not exhibit empathy and competence.”

Yeah, Trump messed it up. He just held the virus to 10% of deaths compared to the estimates and developed a vaccine in 9 months as opposed to 5 years (which is average).

When talking about Joe Biden being elected, Rock said:

“I don’t know. When Biden won, I wasn’t jumping for joy. I was like Tom Hanks in ‘Cast Away’; I just wanted to hug Helen Hunt. You know, he’s not jumping for joy when he sees the ship. He’s just like, ‘Where’s Helen Hunt, man? I’ve been eating coconuts for years. Can I just f***ing hold Helen Hunt?’”

“How do I feel? I mean, I’m kind of optimistic. I just hope that all that’s happened, that this whole year was not in vain, and that people and the government doesn’t just go back to business as usual.”

Notice how actors always compare things to movies and other actors. That’s because they have no concept of reality. They sit back and live in their pampered little world and forget that there is real life out there. Or they just don’t know what real life is. This thought is cemented by his next statement:

“Like, basically, there’s a 9/11 everyday. 3,000 people died in 9/11. Somehow, we got the Department of Homeland Security, and no one questioned that. But now, we have a situation where, whatever — 300,000, a half-a-million people are going to die. Right? So, what I hope is that we do something.”

First off, 9-11 was a terrorist attack. The virus is a contagion that developed naturally, supposedly. There’s no correlation to the two.

And we have done something. We developed a vaccine and therapeutics to counter the infection. Josie’s 90-year old grandfather actually survived the virus because doctors now know how to deal with it. To do this in such a short period of time is actually quite amazing.

He finishes by saying that he used all his free time to look within himself and deal with his daughters:

“You know, with this pandemic, it’s like, what are you going to do with this free time? I wanted to make the most of the free time, and I just thought working on me would be the best use of it, especially having teenage daughters. Anybody that has teenagers will tell you, you’re going to lose them at some point. It’s going to be hard at some point. So, you know, I went through some stuff with my kids, and you learn it’s not just about lashing out. It’s about looking in.”

Let’s see: people are losing their jobs, their homes and their businesses. Domestic violence, drug use, crime and suicide are way up.

How tone deaf do you have to be? Chris Rock, or any other actor, hasn’t gone through any of this.

The Olympics Just Keep Going Downhill

Seeking to attract younger viewers for the international games — ratings have flagged of late — the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Monday announced that breakdancing has been added as a sport for the 2024 games being held in Paris.

In a statement, the IOC stated:

“The WDSF could not be prouder to have breaking included at Paris 2024, and we thank everyone who helped make it possible: the executive board of the IOC, the Paris 2024 organizers, the WDSF staff and, most importantly, the breaking community itself,” he said, according to CNN. “It was a true team effort to get to this moment and we will redouble our efforts in the lead-up to the Olympic Games to make sure the breaking competition at Paris 2024 will be unforgettable.”

Really?

Episode 244 – We’re in Overtime!

The election last night was a disaster. We still do not know who won the election and there are several discrepancies found in several states. This is the worst nightmare for our democracy.

Let’s talk about it.

 

What Happened on Election Night

The election started right on time. At 5:00 PST, results began to pour in. Things were going pretty much like we thought. But at 6:00 PM, right when the polls closed in Arizona, Fox News decided to project that Arizona was going to Sleepy Joe. Which was weird because 0.0% of the ballots were counted. This was the first of many concerns, which we will talk about later.

At this point, I went to dinner with my father and went to an election party with my parents. It was a great party. There is nothing like drinking wine with a bunch or right wing conservatives. Let me tell you if you don’t know, but we can party.

The night was going great. Trump was ahead in all the including Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida (which he ended up winning). So feeling good about things and being pretty drunk, we decided to go home because we were tired. When we got home, this is when things appeared to go south.

For some strange reason and something I have never seen before, vote counts stopped for the night. They stopped in Pennsylvania (Philly specifically), Wisconsin and Arizona. None of us could believe it. It was 1:00 AM and we were not going to find out who won the election (which wasn’t much of a surprise) because the ballot counters didn’t want to stay up all night (that was a surprise).

My dad simply said, “They are going to steal this one.”

We just went to bed. We were all really pissed off.

 

What Happened the Next Morning

Our worst nightmares were realized the next morning.

I woke up and immediately looked to my phone.

Trump was losing in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada and Biden had won Arizona and Virginia, which Trump thought he might be able to flip. Trump still had substantial leads in Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania but the leads were narrowing. At least he did win Florida. Trump gained very little ground.

Twitter was on fire. People were screaming that the election was stolen. Trump was Tweeting throughout the day. And Twitter does what it does: suspending conservatives for having hope the election would turn toward Trump. Trump got Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire because he re-tweeted a scenario when Trump had the election stolen from him because Walsh has violated the “policy on disseminating false information.” The funny thing is they never suspended Biden’s account when he put up a meme that said he was going to win. The double standard lives well on Twitter.

But that’s when things started getting really weird with the elections and legitimate question were being asked.

 

It Ain’t Over

You know, we have been doing this voting thing for 244 years. You’d think we’d have it down by now. Well we don’t. Or, maybe we do and people are just cheating. And the media is a conspirator.

Fox News reported that Biden won Arizona without any ballots were counted.

Arizona reported that they had counted 95% of the ballots. That was wrong. They had only counted 84% of the ballots and those that were not counted were heavily populated by red districts.

There are several districts, including in California and Wisconsin, that are rumored to have more votes than ballots. In California, I’m not surprised by this. This has happened before in California but no one reported it. This is part of the evil that is mail-in balloting and ballot harvesting. Take a look at this:

There is a graph going around that shows the votes for the candidates by hour. The source is an Internet journalist named Derek Duck (that is his name) and, apparently, his information is accurate enough that Twitter suspended him for posting it. What the graphs show is the vote totals per hour. What is curious is, in the middle of the night, votes in Michigan and Wisconsin spiked at around 4 AM on Wednesday. That is odd because a lot of vote counters stopped counting at around that time. Weird, huh?

Donald Trump’s team, as of this writing, has already requested recounts in several states and have will challenge the results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The legal challenges are based on votes counted that have no business being counted. That includes votes that did not get in before November 3. If the above graphs are correct, expect them to be used in court.

I don’t think court battles are going to lead to much and I don’t think recounts, especially when down 10 thousand votes are going to make too much of a difference. The reality that any court challenges may get some movement but, like in the 2000 Bush-Gore election, I doubt anything much will come from the Supreme Court.

In certain areas, 100% of the vote went to Joe Biden. That’s weird. That’s not me being a conspiracy theorist pulling stuff out of my ass. The Trump legal team has said that happened.

Republican representatives have not been allowed to watch the counting in votes. In Philly, security actually put up partitions to hide what the vote counters were doing. Doesn’t that make you go “hmm…”

Finally, the election is not over but Trump has some heavy lifting over the next couple of days. Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina are still up for grabs. Even Arizona, which has been declared already, is still up in the air. If Trump wins all four states, Trump will win.

So it’s not over and will not be for a few weeks.

 

The Good News

So far, all I have been focusing on is the bad news. But, in reality, there is some good news. Lots of good news.

  • Republicans are going to win the Senate. Races that were suppose to be close weren’t close. More on that later.
  • Republicans gained seats in the House. Polls said we were suppose to lose seats.
  • Trump was suppose to get blown out, both in the popular vote and in the state vote. That didn’t happen. Trump is down a point and a half in the popular vote and won states he wasn’t suppose to win including Florida.

 

The most important is the woke crowd got skinned. The black vote went from 7% in 2016 to 15% in 2020. Hispanics voted for Trump at close to 40%. In fact, minorities have voted for Trump in droves. This shows the rejection of intersectionality and identity politics. The term “racist” has been so overused, no one thinks anything of it anymore. So people are going to vote for whoever they want and not care what people think. This is the biggest tell for this election. Even the Left was thinking this was an important point of the election.

 

 

Lessons Learned

Here’s what we have learned from this absolute disaster:

  • There must be bipartisan oversight of voting in each state.
  • There must be a standardization of voting procedures throughout every state if they want to participate in a federal election. Not how the states delegate their electors.
  • Mail-in balloting and ballot harvesting are disasters. They must be banned. This has nothing to do with absentee ballots.
  • Voting is a privilege.
  • The polling sucked in every way.
    • They screwed up the Presidential election, both in the popular vote and the state-by-state vote.
    • They screwed up the Senate vote. The Republicans will probably take the Senate.
    • They screwed up the House votes. Republicans gained seats in the House.
  • We have to make a Constitutional amendment that deems the election is on the first Tuesday in November and no votes shall be cast after 8:00 PM local time unless there are unforeseen issues.
