Episode 474 – You’ve Got to be Kidding Me

I haven’t talked about some of the minor news in a while. Doing this podcast four days a week instead of five days a week will force me to miss some things.

But there are some very small stories that have some big consequences to Western Civilization.

Let’s talk about them.

 

This Will Be Ignored

Joe Biden can’t beat the forecasts when it comes to unemployment but he beats the crap out of the forecasts out of one thing: inflation.

Inflation has gone up 7% in December. That is the worst rate since June of 1982 when it was up 7.1%. This is a half percent jump from November. This measures all sorts of products such as cars, food, energy and other goods.

Here is the breakdown:

  • Energy went down, 0.4%. That sounds great but let’s remember that:
    • Gas is up 49%.
    • Natural gas is up 24%.
    • Electricity is up 6.3%.
  • Food prices rose 0.5% to 6.4%.
    • beef and veal (18.6%)
    • pork (15.1%)
    • chicken (10.4%)
    • ham (10%)
    • fish (8.4%)
  • cereals and cereal products, which increased 0.8%
  • bakery products has soared 6.8%.
  • Pre-owned car prices, a key component of the months long inflation surge, increased again last month, jumping 3.5% from the previous month and 37.3% year-over-year.
  • Rental cars, meanwhile, shot up a stunning 36% from last December, although they actually declined 4.4% in December compared to November.
  • The cost of new cars, meanwhile, rose 1.3% in December from the previous month and 11.8% from the prior year.
  • Rent costs swelled 0.4% in December and 4.2% over the past 12 months.
  • prices for furniture (17.3%)
  • laundry equipment (12.1%)
  • clothing (5.8%)
  • tools and other outdoor equipment (7.2%)

So, there you have it. Wondering why your raise is gone? It’s because you have to eat dinner tonight and drive to the store to get it.

This is the Symptom of Weakness

According to the Daily Wire:

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Ali Fadavi said during a recent interview that when the time is right, the Islamic Republic of Iran is planning to strike the United States, which comes amid increasing threats from Iran toward the U.S.

Fadavi was recorded saying:

“They did very quickly what we asked them to do. This is the status of the Americans, this is the status of the enemies of Allah, and this is the status of those who stand with the Axis of Falsehood. We do not have the slightest doubt that at the right time, when we strike America – the Great Satan – and its Zionist followers, we will strike them with great force.”

He later stated:

“If the Zionists do something stupid and take a step against us, whether big or small, we will see this as a sign that Allah decreed that we should be attacked so that we could retaliate. This would mean the annihilation of the Zionists. It is a fact that the Zionists will go away much faster than the time frame determined by the Leader. Soon we will witness the annihilation of the Americans and their dominance over the world, and specifically over this region. Soon we will see them leave the region. This will definitely happen.”

This is not the first time this has been said. The Iranians are pissed off about the death of Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s terrorist general by Donald Trump. They want the Biden administration to arrest and convict everyone who had to do with the death of Soleimani, including Donald Trump.

Now, mind you, Soleimani was killed in Iraq during a terrorist uprising he allegedly organized.

Now, do I think anything is going to come of this? Do I think Biden is going to throw Trump in jail? No, I doubt it but I wouldn’t put it past him. But I do think we are witnessing a terrorist warning. It also shows how emboldened Iran has gotten because of Joe Biden’s weakness and Biden’s weird need to get back into the nuclear agreement with Iran even though Iran probably already has a nuclear weapon.

Between Afghanistan and Iran, I think we should prepare for a terrorist attack in 2022.

Speaking of Afghanistan

I order to keep up the memory of Afghanistan and how f-ed up they are because of Joe Biden’s retreat from the country. The retreat that killed 13 servicemen and a few hundred Afghanis.

The Taliban is having an issue with women protesting the the fact that the Taliban is taking away all the rights of women, raping them, forcing them into marriages, beating them and executing them on the streets because they won’t wear their burkas. All the rights that they had when the 2000 troops were allowed to be there.

To quell these protests, the Taliban has decided it would be a good idea to chop off the heads of mannequins that are found in stores in mock executions.

Aren’t you glad that we left Afghanistan in the hands of such competent leadership?

China Virus Insanity

It’s Not Child Abuse Anymore

According to CNN:

A Texas mother has been charged with endangering a child after she allegedly placed her 13-year-old son, who had Covid-19, into her car’s trunk to avoid being exposed to the virus, according to a warrant from the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

Sarah Beam, 41, was charged after authorities arrived at a Houston-area Covid testing site on January 3 following a report that a health services official had found the child in trunk of Beam’s car. According to the warrant, the director of health services stated she was gathering information from cars in a line for Covid testing when “she found a female driver, later identified as Sarah Beam, having her child in the trunk of her car.”
The health director told police “the defendant confirmed that her son, K.H., who is a 13-year-old child, was in the trunk of the car due (to) the child having been tested positive for Covid.”

This woman is a school teacher.

Apparently, she was driving to a testing site, got out of the car, opened the trunk and let her son out so he could get tested.

I don’t know what’s worse about this story:

  • That we have people in this country so paranoid that they’ll abuse their kids.
  • That there are narcissists out there that have kids.
  • That narcissists like this are actually teachers.

I know what is the worst take-away from this story. It is that this virus has given us an excuse to systemically abuse our children.

I bet you that, not only is this broad out of jail and tweeting social justice messages and selfies on Tik Tok, but her son has been put back in that home, preparing his own mac-and-cheese in between bouts of downloading porn off the Internet because he is unsupervised.

Our children are not allowed to go to school. They are not allowed to participate in activities. They cannot see faces because they are forced to wear masks all the time. They are forced to eat outside and socially distance during lunch times.

All this is OK according to the government. What the hell so kids need socialization for anyway?

Increased suicide rates, increased drug use, lower test scores, lower literacy over the last year. These are all just coincidences.

 

Bigger Problem Here

This story is so insane I did not think you’d believe it was real. So here’s the guy that experienced this directly:

I am so amazed by this, I initially didn’t know what to say. Here’s the E-mail:

This is the problem when businesses go woke.

Let’s understand something, wokeness is a form of narcissism. If you need proof, watch a couple of Tik Tok videos where the nut jobs talk about their pronouns or teachers who talk about their sexual preferences with their students. This is pure narcissism. The reason it has become so ingrained in our society is that businesses have gone woke and support the woke narcissism of some of their employees. Heck, I’ll go so far as a vast minority of their employees.

I also laugh at the fact that the reason businesses and the population should support the woke narcissists are because the narcissist has rights. There’s a huge problem with this argument. It is not a right when your right is impeding on the rights of another. This guy has the right (and scientific reason) not to have to wear a mask. What about his rights?

When I first read this, I thought this guy needs to quit and find another job. No. This guy needs to refuse to wear a mask in front of his computer screen and force this person to quit or for the company to get rid of this dumbass. I guarantee that this broad who is so scared of no one wearing masks that she’s a crappy employee that just bitches a lot.

Typical Bureaucracy

Need proof that government and bureaucracy suck at everything?

The Boston Marathon Bomber, who is serving life in prison at Super Max in Florence, Colorado, received a $1400 stimulus check from the government during the pandemic.

He also received $250 from the Office of Federal Defenders of New York. All this is tax payer money.

Of course, it was taken away but it just shows how messed up our government is.

My question is: How many criminals received a stimulus check without anyone discovering it?

Only 74%?

According to Newsmax:

Nearly 3 in 4 American adults believe there only are two genders, a new Rasmussen Reports survey found.

The Rasmussen poll found that 63% strongly agreed when asked, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement: There are two genders, male and female?” Another 18% disagreed.

Although majorities in every political category agreed that there are only two genders, Democrats (47%) were less likely than Republicans (82%) or the unaffiliated (60%) to say they strongly agreed, Rasmussen found.

Americans with incomes of $200,000 a year or more were most likely to disagree with the statement that there are only two genders.

Couple of things:

  • Is this the end of Western Civilization where more than 25% of the American population does not believe that men and women are different?
  • This also shows that being highly educated and earning a lot of money doesn’t make you smart.

Crime Pays

Apparently, crime today does pay. And when something pays, you have to pay taxes on that income.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released a new stipulation for the 2021 tax season. From the IRS website:

What the fuck?!

I have a few questions:

  • Do you get the impression the federal government doesn’t take crime seriously?
  • Do you think the federal government sees crime as a job and a source of income?
  • Do you think that the government is so dumb as to believe they will get taxes from criminals?
  • Do you think high crime rates is an accident?
  • You know what I think. I’ve said it about a dozen times.

Here’s the thing:

  • High crime in blue cities and states is not because of bad policy. High crime is the policy.
  • High inflation is not because of bad policy. High inflation is the policy.
  • A stagnant economy is not because of bad policy. A stagnant economy is the policy.
  • Energy and gas shortages are not because of bad policy. Energy and gas shortages are the policy.
  • All this crap comes from the AOC’s Green New Deal.

And that’s all I have to say about that.
