Albert Pujols joins the elite in baseball history.
Protests are getting violent in Iran, but the Biden administration continues to negotiate with them.
And the FBI continues to prove they are being weaponized.
Some News
Here is some news:
- Edward Snowden, the man who gave American secrets to WikiLeaks, has finally been given Russian citizenship by Vlad Putin.
- A category 3 hurricane, Ian, is heading to Tampa Bay in Florida.
- A state of emergency has been declared due to flooding fears.
- Evacuations have been ordered.
- The hurricane should hit tomorrow morning.
- NASA’s Dart program has successfully crashed into an asteroid.
- This program is meant to deflect asteroids that are heading to Earth.
- This is the first program of its kind.
A Great Achievement for a Great Guy
Albert Puljos becomes only the fourth player to his 700 career home runs. The other guys on the list are Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds (who was on steroids so I don’t like to count him). I have been lucky enough to watch Puljos play when he was a Cardinal and a Dodger. He needed 21 home rums in the beginning of the season. Stat casters said he had a 7% chance to get to 700. He’s 43 and set to retire at the end of the year.
He has been reported to be one of the nicest guys in baseball. There are hundreds of videos of him reaching out to the community and the fans. He talks to everyone and has no issue taking the jersey off his back to give it to a kid. This couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

Kamalaism
Our Kamalaism of the day come courtesy of a 16-year-old climate activist from New Zealand. She is responsible for organizing a school strike to protest the lack of effort the government was having ending climate change. She has some pretty crazy ideas like getting rid of fertilizers and cutting cattle by 50%.
She was being interviewed on a radio program and was asked about when it is appropriate to travel. This unraveled rather quickly.

This is typical stuff. Do as I say don’t do as I do.

The Iran Mess
So there is a mess in Iran that might weaken their presence in the world and weaken their theocratic government.
On September 15, a woman named Mahsa Amini was arrested by Iran morality police for wearing her hijab too loosely. While in jail, the police beat and tortured her and she died. Initially, the government said that she had a heart attack but that was obviously not the case.
Protests have erupted in the country, many fighting for women’s rights. The government has responded like all tyrannical governments do. They are arresting people, shooting people and censoring information. Last week, Iran shout down the Internet. In response, Antoney Blinkin tweeted to Elon Mush to turn on the Starlink system he has to allow the Iranians to have access to Internet information.
Starlink is a low flying satellite system that allows free Internet to areas that require it. It is part of the Space X system. It has been used twice before, during the protests in Cuba and during the war in Ukraine. Elon Musk agreed and has turned on the system.
But the big question over this is what is going to happen to the Iran nuclear deal that Joe Biden desperately want to get back into. You know, the deal which gives Iran everything but we get nothing. The one that isn’t going to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb which they will use on Israel. That deal.
People are pushing back against Biden when it comes to rejoining the deal. Even the Washington Post released an op-ed stating that getting back in the deal would be a bad idea. They didn’t think that when they were sponsoring a proxy war in Yemen, were arming Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad against Israel, helping the Bashar al-Assad government in Syria and started bombing the Ukrainians to help Russia out.
Oh, did I mention they were allies with Russia and China?
The question came up when Jake Sullivan, a National Security Advisor, was asked by George Stephanopoulos if this was enough reason to drop the Iran Nuclear Agreement. He did what all lying Biden people do. He talked a lot.
That’s a lot of words for, “no”.
The only good news with the nuclear deal is Iran thinks the Biden administration is so week, they are asking for the farm. The reality is Iran may end up talking themselves right out of this thing. Even countries like Germany and France think that Iran is getting a little bit too demanding. I kind of doubt this is going to happen.
Anyway, the United States has condemned the morality police. In a statement, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said in a statement:
“Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is designating Iran’s Morality Police for abuse and violence against Iranian women and the violation of the rights of peaceful Iranian protestors. The Morality Police are responsible for the recent death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested and detained for allegedly wearing a hijab improperly.
“OFAC is also targeting seven senior leaders of Iran’s security organizations: the Morality Police, Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), the Army’s Ground Forces, Basij Resistance Forces, and Law Enforcement Forces. These officials oversee organizations that routinely employ violence to suppress peaceful protesters and members of Iranian civil society, political dissidents, women’s rights activists, and members of the Iranian Baha’i community.”
Big deal. How about getting out of this deal, stop handing them money and dump a crap-ton of sanctions on them? Maybe that would have a little more impact?
Iran has a society that is very rickety. Believe it or not, most people there have been Westernized. The like the West and our culture. The youth are getting rebellious and are the majority. The theocracy is old and sick. Even the Ayatollah’s health is in question. I’m not sure how much longer this government stays together. The United States should just let it fall instead of continually holding them up.

This Isn’t Inappropriate or Anything
In another example of the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ, a raid was conducted on the house of pro-live Conservative named Mark Houck. Houck ran a non-profit group that provides sidewalk pregnancy counseling for pregnant women in front of abortion clinics. A couple of years ago, he was working in front of an abortion clinic when a pro-abortion activist started yelling at his 12-year-old son. He ended up pushing the activist to the ground. There were no injuries.
The activist sued Houke and, this summer, the charges and the civil suit were dropped by a judge. For some reason which is unclear, the DOJ got involved and ordered the arrest of Houke.
Instead of just sending the indictment to Houke lawyer or Houke himself, the FBI sent 25 to 30 fully armed and armored FBI agents and slammed on the door. They rushed into the house pointing rifles at him. His seven kids were watching from the second story. His wife asked for the warrant, but they refused to give it to her until she pointed out that they were kidnapping him.
The FBI seemed to calm a little when they saw how upset the children were. Ryan-Marie Houck, Mark’s wife, said the FBI began to ease up when they heard the kids screaming and they actually read the warrant.
Needless to say, this was a huge overreaction by the FBI that might have broken a local law. Might have. What is the DOJ getting involved into something that has been resolved in the courts? Why are they getting involved in a crime that should be local law enforcement anyway? What federal law did Mark Houke violate that justifies this treatment.
This should scare everyone. This guy is not a billionaire or a man of immense power. He’s also not a serial killer. He’s not burning down buildings. He’s a regular guy with the belief that abortion is murder and he’s doing something about it. But that goes against the ideology of the Biden administration and that’s enough to get arrested.
The FBI has become Biden’s SS.

Do These Guys Understand Basic Economics?
California is at it again. These guys seem to not understand basic economics.
According to the Daily Wire:
Some residents of California are slated to receive inflation relief checks of more than $1,000 in the coming weeks.
Married individuals earning under $150,000 and taking care of a dependent are eligible to receive a check of $1,050, according to a website from the California Franchise Tax Board, with benefits falling by income bracket before reaching $400 for couples who earn between $250,000 and $500,000. Singles earning more than $250,000 or couples earning more than $500,000 are not eligible for relief.
“We enacted the most comprehensive economic stimulus program in the nation last year, getting billions in immediate relief to millions of Californians. But many folks are still struggling, especially with high costs due to inflation, so we’re leveraging this historic surplus to get money back into the pockets of Californians,” Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said in a statement earlier this year. “This inflation relief package will help offset the higher costs that Californians are facing right now and provide support to those still recovering from the pandemic.”
I want to point this out. The reason we are going through inflation is because the government has been handing out money for the last two years during the pandemic. So be prepared to pay $22 for a hamburger, without cheese, in California.
In other California news, according to the Daily Wire:
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of bills related to undocumented residents last week that includes approval of state identification for migrants in the state.
Newsom signed the bill, AB 1766, that directs California’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue a restricted identification card to eligible participants by no later than July 1, 2027.
“California is expanding opportunity for everyone, regardless of immigration status,” Newsom said in a statement.
“We’re a state of refuge – a majority-minority state, where 27 percent of us are immigrants. That’s why I’m proud to announce the signing of today’s bills to further support our immigrant community, which makes our state stronger every single day,” he added.
Of course, we know where this is going to lead to. Illegal aliens voting. They are already “accidently” registering illegal aliens who get driver’s licenses at the Department of Motor Vehicles. Now, anyone can get IDs so we’ll see how many get registered to vote. Bet it will be more than 10%.
In other news, California signed into a law a bill that allows a person who has died to be composted. Basically, we can now be buried in a coffin with holes in it. As we start rotting, our body melds into the dirt and we end up feeding the grass or a tree or something. I’m not terribly against this except that this is gross and cannot be terribly sanitary. Let’s face it, we don’t collect road kill and bury it to feed a tree. We burn road kill because it is more sanitary.
I guess, we will just have to watch our steps when walking in a cemetery because we might be walking on Aunt Bea.

This is Gross
This is gross but it will probably sell.
According to the New York Post:
It’s the perfect gift for millennials who lack a lot of “Lays.”
If they can’t get it in the sack, they can get it in the snack. A chip company that purports to cater to sex-starved 30-somethings boasts a new flavor that supposedly tastes like a woman’s vajayjay.
“After tasting it, you will remember your wildest love adventures, your first real love, and maybe even lose your oral virginity,” reps for Chazz, the Lithuania-based creators of the private-parroting potato chips, claim on their site.
Dubbed “p—y-flavored potato chips,” the kinky creations are inspired by a purported generation-wide sex drought among millennials, who allegedly prefer perusing social media to getting saucy in the sack.
OK, this is just gross. I kind of skeptical that the taste of this potato chip will achieve the level of catharsis this company is trying to push. I’m sure in America, it will become the next one chip challenge.
