Joe’s polls are so bad, he can’t control his sphincter.
California doesn’t get that woke is bad.
And Saturday Night Live gets tacky.
This Just Keeps Getting Worse
A new poll was released on Sunday and the news just keeps getting worse for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. The main line of the poll is that over 60% of those polled do not want Biden to run in 2024 (if he makes it that far).
The poll is from USA Today and Suffolk University.
Here are the takeaways from the poll:
- “Nearly half of those surveyed, 46%, say Biden has done a worse job as president than they expected, including 16% of those who voted for him. Independents, by 7-1 (44%-6%), say he’s done worse, not better, than they expected.”
- “Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 64%, say they don’t want Biden to run for a second term in 2024. That includes 28% of Democrats.”
- “Vice President Kamala Harris’ approval rating is 28% – even worse than Biden’s. The poll shows that 51% disapprove of the job she’s doing.”
- “If the election were today, those surveyed say, they would vote for their Republican congressional candidate over the Democratic one by 46%-38%, an advantage that would bode well for GOP hopes of gaining a majority in the House and the Senate.”
- 75% believe that the Build Back Better bill would hurt their families.
- A strong majority of Americans, 66%, say that the country is headed in the wrong direction, while only 20% say it is headed in the right direction.
Legendary Democrat strategist James Carville said during an interview last week:
And that is exactly right. People don’t like where the Democrat party is going or all these weird social changes. People don’t like being called racists and stupid for not understanding what the Left is doing. Bill Maher said the same thing this week.
But the Dems and Biden aren’t learning anything. They are suffering from heavy arrogance. They think they need to go harder and faster. They think that not spending trillions of dollars is the reason they lost last Tuesday.
Well, keep it up. Go more Left. Let’s see how that works out for them in a year.

California is Not Getting It
California has decided that math needs to go woke. I think we talked about that in an earlier podcast when we talked about how math is racist. Now, California is going to make math anti-racist.
The plan was to be voted on this month and be implemented in February. It will include:
- Discouraging the concept of gifted students.
- Inject social justice concepts into math including gender theory and inequality.
- Replacing high level classes.
The New York Times reported:
The California guidelines, which are not binding, could overhaul the way many school districts approach math instruction. The draft rejected the idea of naturally gifted children, recommended against shifting certain students into accelerated courses in middle school and tried to promote high-level math courses that could serve as alternatives to calculus, like data science or statistics.
The draft also suggested that math should not be colorblind and that teachers could use lessons to explore social justice — for example, by looking out for gender stereotypes in word problems, or applying math concepts to topics like immigration or inequality. …
Like some of the attempted reforms of decades past, the draft of the California guidelines favored a more conceptual approach to learning: more collaborating and problem solving, less memorizing formulas.
It also promoted something called de-tracking, which keeps students together longer instead of separating high achievers into advanced classes before high school.
This is insane.
The idea for California is student who first realizes he is not good at math just believes he’s not good at math. I know the feeling. I’m not good at math. My son-in-law, great at math. But California believes it can make math more equitable if they just take the math that is hard out of math. There cannot be those people that are good at math and that talent be babied to its ends. We don’t want any of these kids feeding their talents so they can build rockets, launch people into space or invent the greatest electric vehicle.
By the way, do you want to fly in a plane designed with someone who flourished in math due to the equity that was created?
Well, this isn’t going unanswered. The proposed framework has received condemnations from hundreds of STEM field professionals, educators, and public officials who have signed on to an open letter released in July to California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, the State Board of Education, and the Instructional Quality Commission.
The letter stated:
“The proposed framework would, in effect, de-mathematize math. For all the rhetoric in this framework about equity, social justice, environmental care and culturally appropriate pedagogy, there is no realistic hope for a more fair, just, equal and well-stewarded society if our schools uproot long-proven, reliable and highly effective math methods and instead try to build a mathless Brave New World on a foundation of unsound ideology.
“A real champion of equity and justice would want all California’s children to learn actual math — as in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus — not an endless river of new pedagogical fads that effectively distort and displace actual math.”
I’ve said this in the past. Math is objective. Numbers and formulas do not have biases. They don’t care about one’s race or social class. We have gotten a space ship to Pluto (math), took digital pictures (math) and sent them back to Earth (math). We’ve landed on the moon (math). We’ve invented the Internet. You know what computers speak? That’s right, they speak math.
While living your life tomorrow, think of all the things you do and think about how the precision and objective perfection of math affects your life. Think about the things you use on a daily basis and try to figure out if math was necessary to create those tools.
Then think about what we’d be missing if math was retarded in the same way California wants to do.

Clown Abortion? Really?
Saturday Night Live has gone off the rails. Now the show has not been really funny in a very long time. I stopped watching a long time ago. But they really overstepped this time and I’m not sure it came across the way they wanted it to.
This clip is about the Texas anti-abortion law. They decide to make it funny my bringing in a female clown who made the abortion she had before her 23rd birthday as part of her clown act. Listen to a snippet of it
Goober the Clown

Some things here:
- I’ll just say this right off. The sketch is not funny. It’s not even clever. These “clowns” at the pro-abortion rallies basically say the same thing.
- The laughing of the audience is truly sick.
- We are living in a sick society when over half the country believes that abortion is killing babies and the other half thinks it’s nothing more than a joke.
- I’m sorry, but there have been 60 million abortions since Roe versus Wade. For people like me, who think abortion is murder, that is genocide is way worse than what the Nazis did. Yet I’m a fascist and Nazi for being against abortion.
- This is completely one-sided. This doesn’t try to sympathize with the anti-abortionists. And they wonder why their ratings are so down.
- Louis CK did a great act about abortion. But he took both sides. In fact, he was a tad more sympathetic to the anti-abortion side.
- There was something that I think I caught watching this. I could be wrong because the acting on SNL isn’t really a quality thing. There’s kind of a sadness about her performance. Almost an embarrassment about killing a baby. This doesn’t seem like a celebration but a resignation.

Is This a Joke?
Yes, it is.
Christmas is coming so you know that the anti-fun Left is going to come out and attack it. We have already heard that Jesus is black. That happened last week. Since no one really knows the color of Jesus because no one cared about that sort of thing back then, we really don’t know the color of Jesus. I’ll go a step further, I really don’t care what the skin tone of Jesus was. He is a little beyond that.
But a judge has already overstepped his bounds. Cobb County Superior Court Chief Judge Robert Leonard has banned the Elf on a Shelf Christmas decoration. If you don’t know what Elf on a Shelf is, it is a Christmas decoration that bends much like the old Gumbys did. It is meant to sit on a shelf and watch your children to make sure they are being good so Santa Clause will give the kids a toy for Christmas instead of coal.
Well, kids probably aren’t getting coal because the cost of energy are too high. Reality is, kids are probably hoping for a piece of coal because heating the home is brutal. Then again, kids might not get a toy because the supply chain crisis is so bad that Santa can’t get resources needed to create the toys. The fact is, the only kids that will be getting toys are the illegal aliens that got $450K for crossing the border illegally. They can afford it.
Anyway, this judge released a statement about the evil little Christmas decorations:
“Tired of living in Elf on the Shelf tyranny? Not looking forward to the Elf forgetting to move and causing your kids emotional distress? I am a public servant and will take the heat for you. My gift to tired parents.
“Inexplicably, Elves sometimes move and don’t move overnight. When those Elves do not move, it leaves our children of tender years in states of extreme emotional distress.”
This anti-Santa, evil judge than released a tweet with a statement with his order:
That bastard.
Guys it was a joke! This is good fun!
