Episode 522 – Who Didn’t See This Coming?

Happy Easter! That means there needs to be some God-bashing in the news media and it took about a minute to find some.

What we knew was going to happen has happened in the prison system.

And Hollywood just doesn’t get it that no one likes woke movies.

 

Told You This Would Happen

According to the Daily Mirror:

Two inmates of a women only prison have fallen pregnant after having consensual sex with a transgender inmate, it has been reported.

The women are among 800 people, including 27 transwomen, being held at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility in Clinton, New Jersey.

In a letter sent to US outlet NJ 105.5, an inmate claimed that one of the women, who is not eligible for parole until 2104, was five months pregnant.

The letter said that the inmates had a history of sex acts in public areas and had to be separated.

Demi Minor has claimed to be the person responsible for impregnating the two prisoners via a website Justice 4 Demi, which she is understood to help run from prison.

Some things:

  • The man, Demi Minor, I don’t know what his real name is, is sentenced to 30 years for manslaughter. That means he probably is in prison for murder.
  • He committed the murder when he was 16.
  • New Jersey prisons began housing transgender inmates who identify as women at women’s prisons last year following a lawsuit at the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.
  • The lawsuit followed claims from a transgender woman who said she was abused at a male prison.
  • One woman, who is in prison for essentially life for murder, wrote a blog post called Freedom, Love, Pregnancy and Trauma about being in prison is traumatic and that she’s in love with this guy.
  • Oh, yeah, this gal has been disciplined several times for having sex with inmates in public which, surprisingly, is against prison rules.
  • Shae said: “Surprisingly I am three months pregnant and I conceived while incarcerated here at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility. Although Edna Mahan breeds a ‘pervasive culture of rape’, I WAS NOT RAPED, nor was I forced to do anything that I did not want to do. Despite it not being permitted I fell in love and had consensual sex with a woman who is trans. Consensual sex is a prohibited act in Edna Mahan.”
  • New Jersey’s policy does not require trans women inmates to undergo gender-reassignment surgery to be held in the facility.
  • NJ Police union President William Sullivan told NJ.com: “We opposed this policy change believing it would be detrimental to the general population of female inmates being housed at Edna Mahan and also bring added stress to our correctional police officers assigned to this institution.”
  • ACLU legal director Jeanne LoCicero has argued: “(It’s) in line with New Jersey’s strong anti-discrimination laws that prevent discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender identity.”

So let me get this straight: Not only does society have to pay to house two murderers (I don’t know who the other chick is), we have to pay for this guy’s transition surgery (which will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars) but now we have to pay for the two illegitimate kids this guy has fathered because he’s acting like a woman and he has the right to be in a women’s prison?

Makes sense to me.

Yeah, People Will Pay to See Those

According to the Daily Wire:

LGBT remakes of  the cult classic “Fight Club” and the romantic comedy favorite “My Best Friend’s Wedding” are in the works as Hollywood continues to inject woke culture into everything these days — apparently including classic movies.

Cindy Crawford’s model daughter, Kaia Gerber, will star in an upcoming film titled “Bottoms” that’s been described as a Lesbian version of the famed 1999 thriller starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Jared Leto, reported Deadline magazine in a recent piece.

I need to ask you, does Hollywood make movies that have the goal to fail at the box office? I mean, look what they did to Ghostbusters.

I also want to point out that the theme of Fight Club is how men have lost their masculinity and creating the fight club allowed them to express their brute masculinity. In fact, the most powerful character in the movie was a woman. See the irony here? They are going to take the masculinity out of the movie where masculinity is the theme. How do you think that’s going to work out?

The Daily Wire continues:

And not to be outdone in the woke department, the outlet recently reported that Oscar-winning actress Ariana DeBose will star in a twist on the famed Julia Roberts romantic 1997 film “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” Only this time the movie will be told from the point of view of DeBose character who’s described as “a bisexual Latinx.”

The movie “Two and Only” is being executive produced by DeBose for Screen Gems with an original screenplay by Latina and LGBTQ+ writer Jen Rivas-DeLoose.

Yeah, that’s what my fiancé is going to watch on our Netflix and Chill night.

The wokesters just don’t get it. People just don’t care about any of this crap. Least of all women. Men may want to watch because of the lesbian thing. Let’s face it, most straight males love the thought of hot, half-naked chicks fighting. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the writers and producers of these films is going for.

Speaking of No One Buying This

According to Fox News:

The Biden administration this week rolled out a number of strategies across government agencies to promote racial equity and support “underserved communities” to fulfill an executive order from President Biden.

Biden signed an order on Inauguration Day directing agencies to “pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality.” 

Here are the details:

  • More than 90 agencies, including all Cabinet departments, released their plans, outlining more than 300 strategies and action plans to make federal policies fairer.
  • The Department of Homeland Security released a plan that will focus on everything from naturalization, access to humanitarian protection, bidding on DHS contracts, countering all forms of terrorism and targeted violence, filing complaints and seeking redress in DHS programs and activities, airport screening and accessing Trusted Traveler Programs.
    • DHS vowed to “identify barriers that may impede access to naturalization among underserved communities” and remove those barriers to make the naturalization process easier.
    • DHS said it will “expand engagement” with small businesses that are owned by or that support “members of underserved communities.”
    • The department also said it would work to “expand gender-identification options” for certain traveler programs like TSA PreCheck.
  • The Pentagon announced it will seek to rearrange its supply chain in order to open up opportunities for underserved communities.
    •  It will also bolster a variety of programs aimed at assisting those same communities in the area of military bases, such as American Indian initiatives and environmental efforts.
    • They have changed the physical requirements necessary to join the military.
    • They have loosened their uniform and hair style requirements.
    • They are still fighting to get women to serve in combat.
  • Department of Labor is strengthening enforcement of wage and hour protections, while the Department of Housing and Urban Development is working to eliminate the racial gap in home ownership.
  • The Environmental Protection Agency said that it is developing a framework to evaluate the impacts of pollution on underserved communities and helping households with low incomes to weatherize their homes.
  • The Justice Department is improving language access to its programs to help people with limited English proficiency better report crimes, while the Interior Department is providing technical assistance to Native American tribes to help them apply for grants.

All this is so stupid and racist.

Of Course, This Had to Come Out

So, it’s Easter and Passover. It’s also Ramadan but I don’t think that’s relevant to this story because Muslims, for whatever reason, are immune from the religious persecution that Christians and Jews are put through. Like I said in the past, I lived with a Muslim family for a couple of years and they were very religious. Heck, they were as Conservative as I am and it was thanks to their religion.

Anyway, I expected to see some anti-Christian opinion pieces. But, to my surprise, I found one opinion piece go farther.

Here is an opinion piece by Shalom Auslander called In This Time of War, I Propose We Give Up God. Damn, God is one evil SOB!

Let’s get to it:

This weekend, Jews around the world will celebrate the holiday of Passover, the name of which comes from the story of God “passing over” the homes of our distant ancestors on his way to slaughter the first born sons of evil Egyptians. Our forefathers, the story goes, marked their doorposts with lamb’s blood in order to spare their own sons the awful fate of their enemies.

In this time of war and violence, of oppression and suffering, I propose we pass over something else:

God.

Two aspects of the Passover story have troubled me since I was first taught them long ago in an Orthodox yeshiva in Monsey, N.Y. I was 8 years old, and as the holiday approached, our rabbi commanded us to open our chumashim, or Old Testaments, to the Book of Exodus. To get us in the holiday spirit, he told us gruesome tales of torture and persecution.

“The Egyptians,” he told us, “used the corpses of Jewish slaves in their buildings.”

“You mean they used slaves to build their buildings,” I asked, “and the slaves died from work?”

“No,” said the rabbi. “They put the Jewish bodies into the walls and used them as bricks.”

My father was something of a handyman at the time, and this seemed to me a serious violation of basic building codes, not to mention a surefire way to lose a home sale.

“Is this brick?” the interested couple asks.

“No, no,” says the realtor. “That’s corpse.”

But just as troubling — even more so today in light of the brutal slaughter taking place in Ukraine — were the plagues themselves.

God, the rabbi said, struck all the Egyptians with his wrath, not just Pharaoh and his soldiers. Egyptians young and old, innocent and guilty, suffered locusts and frogs, hail and darkness, beasts running wild and water becoming blood. Mothers nursing their babies, the rabbi explained, found their breast milk had turned to blood.

“Yay!” my classmates cheered.

But Pharaoh, the story continues, still wouldn’t relinquish his slaves. Technically this was God’s fault as he “hardened Pharaoh’s heart,” but the issue of free will wouldn’t begin troubling me until my teens. And so God, in his mercy, started killing babies.

“Every firstborn son in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on the throne to the firstborn of the servant girl.” Exodus 11:5.

Surely, I wondered, there were some Egyptians who didn’t whip Jews, who didn’t have anything against Jews at all? Surely there were Egyptians horrified by slavery, Egyptians who disagreed with Pharaoh as often as we do with our own leaders?

“Everyone?” I asked the rabbi. “He struck everyone?”

“Everyone,” the rabbi said.

“Yay!” my classmates cheered.

God, it seems, paints with a wide brush. He paints with a roller. In Egypt, said our rabbi, he even killed first-born cattle. He killed cows. If he were mortal, the God of Jews, Christians and Muslims would be dragged to The Hague. And yet we praise him. We emulate him. We implore our children to be like him.

Perhaps now, as missiles rain down and the dead are discovered in mass graves, is a good time to stop emulating this hateful God. Perhaps we can stop extolling his brutality. Perhaps now is a good time to teach our children to pass over God — to be as unlike him as possible.

“And so God killed them all,” the rabbis and priests and imams can preach to their classrooms. “That was wrong, children.”

“God threw Adam out of Eden for eating an apple,” they can caution their students. “That’s called being heavy-handed, children.”

Cursing all women for eternity because of Eve’s choices?

“That’s called collective punishment, children,” they can warn the young. “Don’t do that.”

“Boo!” the children will jeer.

I was raised strictly Orthodox. Old school. Shtetl fabulous. Every year, at the beginning of the Seder, we welcome in the hungry and poor Jews who can’t afford to have a Seder themselves. It’s a wonderfully human gesture. A few short hours of God later, at the end of the Seder, we open the front door and call out to Him, “Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that did not know you!”

And God does. With plagues and floods, with fire and fury, on the young and old, the guilty and innocent.

And we humans, made in his image, do the same. With fixed-wing bombers and cluster bombs, with self-propelled mortars and thermobaric rocket launchers.

“Why did God kill the first-born cattle?” my rabbi said. “Because the Egyptians believed they were gods.”

Killing gods is an idea I can get behind.

This year, at the end of the Seder, let’s indeed throw our doors open — to strangers. To people who aren’t our own. To the terrifying them, to the evil others, those people who seem so different from us, those we think are our enemies or who think us theirs, but who, if they sat down around the table with us, we’d no doubt find despise the pharaohs of this world as much as we do, and who dream of the same damned thing as us all:

Peace.
