Episode 668 – Those Darn Flammable Chickens!

There seems to be no end in sight for the ending of the war in Ukraine.

The talking heads are still blaming five black officers of a black motorist on white supremacy.

And has a war against chickens started?

 

News

Here’s some news:

    • Russia is preparing to send 200,000 more troops. It looks like Russia is going to make a push to Kiev.

    • This war needs to end because it is just ramping up.
    • Henry Kissinger came up with the best idea and that’s to tell Ukraine to give up the land they lost and instantly become a member of NATO. That would guarantee that Russia would never attack Ukraine again.
    • If Ukraine refuses, let them go on their own.

Kamalaisms

We have some Kamalaisms that, surprisingly, don’t involve Kamala.

Here is Gavin Newsom explaining that drugs and alcohol and drugs are needed sometimes.

Some things:

  • How’s that working for California?
  • Just about any drug is legal now in California and I don’t see anything getting any better.
  • By the way, this is a governor that legalized pot but banned flavored vapes and tobacco.

The Tyre Nichols death at the hands of five black police officers continues to make the media work hard to make this about white supremacy.

Here is Whoopie Goldberg saying something really dumb, but what else could you expect:

Some things:

  • Danial Shaver. He was basically murdered by cops but no one in the media cared.
  • Here’s the problem with Whoopi’s argument: More white people are shot and killed by police.
  • She is a racist.

Here’s Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu, a race hustler, blaming whites for Nichols death:

Here’s the problem with her argument that was not pointed out by the reporter:

  • Memphis is about 52% black.
  • They have a black mayor.
  • They have a black police chief.
  • The police are majority black.
  • The officers charge are black.
  • I would argue the system in Memphis shows we are far from a white supremacist system.

But, that’s what these people are going to do. It’s not working.

You’ve Got to be Kidding

The big problem the woke have is finding things that need to be woke. The Associated Press found something. The word “the”. I even violated their rules twice in the last two sentences. They tweeted:

“We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing ‘the’ labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.”

This genius idea came from the AP Stylebook.

Needless to say, this was blasted online.

Ben Shapiro replied:

“I agree, these days we probably should label ‘the college-educated’ people with mental illnesses instead Also, we should stop calling people ‘the French’ and instead call them ‘people suffering from cheese-eating surrender monkeyness.”

Spencer Klaven responded to Shapiro’s tweet:

“I agree; ‘People suffering from pretension’ is much more humane than simply ‘the French.'”

John Stewart, who has nothing in common with Shapiro and Klaven, responded to the two:

“I believe the correct AP label is ‘the/those f***ing French.'”

The French consulate in the United States also thought this was funny. They responded to this with changing their description to “Embassy of Frenchness in the United States.”

Yeah, it was a stupid subject to go woke on. They deleted the tweet. It’s so stupid I have nothing to say about it. I do expect the Washington Post to write an op ed on how the word “the” is racist soon.

A Coincidence Still?

When do a bunch of coincidences become so common, people can’t ignore that there maybe a conspiracy going?

What I am referring to is the high cost of food, the push for us to stop eating certain foods and the abnormally large number of food processing plants being destroyed.

According to NBC Connecticut:

More than 100 firefighters worked to put out a large fire at an egg farm in Bozrah on Saturday.

Firefighters said the fire was in a 50 foot by 600 foot operating chicken coop at Hillandale Farms on Schwartz Road.

Crews from 16 surrounding departments including Colchester, East Haddam, Salem, Gardner Lake, Lebanon, Franklin, Yantic and Sterling, Taftville, Montville, Oakdale and Lisbon and more than 100 firefighters total responded to the scene.

Gee, that’s not suspicious at all. Everyone knows how flammable chickens are.

Well, I’m not the only one who thinks there might be a conspiracy to stop us from eating certain kinds of food. Joseph Curl at the Daily Wire wrote an opinion piece about it. Let’s take a look:

Eggs. They used to be one of the cheapest sources of protein out there (a couple of extra large eggs has 14 grams of protein, about the same as three ounces of hamburger).

But times they are a-changin’. The average price for large Grade A eggs was $4.25 a dozen in December. That’s a 138% increase from $1.79 a year earlier, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data. By the way, a dozen eggs cost $1.33 in August 2020.

Who bought the most eggs. People of color because eggs could nourish children and not cost a lot. A lot of children would be forced to eat breakfast because that might be their only real meal until dinner. Don’t forget that the lunch programs pushed by the Obama administration are made up food that, quite frankly, no one would eat.

The narrative being peddled by the industry is that there is a historic outbreak of avian influenza that has killed tens of millions of egg-laying hens. Maybe. Chicken has gone up, too. A pound of chicken cost $2.96 in March 2020 and last month hit $4.34.

I have heard nothing of an avian flu causing a shortage of eggs and chicken. Just seems the prices spiked.

But here’s one weird thing: Have you noticed a scarcity of eggs or chicken at the grocery store? I sure haven’t: My local Wegmans is stacked to the rafters with eggs and chicken. Eggs are pricey — they top out at $7.78 — but they’re there.

So maybe something else is going on. Maybe, just maybe, there’s something else responsible for those soaring prices.

All this s true. Eggs are everywhere, they are just really expensive.

That’s what Farm Action, a farmer advocacy group, thinks. The group says the “real culprit” behind sky-high prices is a “collusive scheme” among top U.S. egg producers to fix prices to gouge consumers.

Could this have something to do with the World Economic Forum? Could this be why the media is pushing the eating of bugs? Could this be why Bill Gates wants us to go vegan?

Big question, this is all pushed by the WEF. Does the Great Reset still sound like a conspiracy theory?

In a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Farm Action said the alleged collusion has helped egg producers to “extract egregious profits reaching as high as 40%.”

And the letter said avian flu is not to blame.

“Examining publicly-available financial data from the egg industry, the letter determines that the supply disruption caused by the avian flu outbreak had an ‘apparently mild impact on the industry,’” the group said in a press release.

And the group said egg producers are making money hand over fist.

Of course they are. This is a main way the government controls the markets. It’s the reason the way they are controlling the oil industry. Make prices so high that companies make a lot of money and don’t need to produce. 

“For the 26-week period ending on November 26, 2022, Cal-Maine reported a ten-fold year-over-year increase in gross profits — from $50.392 million to $535.339 million — and a five-fold increase in its gross margins,” the letter said.

And the group says “the real culprit behind this 138 percent hike in the price of a carton of eggs appears to be a collusive scheme among industry leaders to turn inflationary conditions and an avian flu outbreak into an opportunity to extract egregious profits reaching as high as 40 percent.”

“In the end, what Cal-Maine Foods and the other large egg producers did last year — and seem to be intent on doing again this year — is extort billions of dollars from the pockets of ordinary Americans through what amounts to a tax on a staple we all need: eggs,” the letter said. “They did so without any legitimate business justification. They did so because there is no ‘reasonable substitute’ for a carton of eggs. They did so because they had power and weren’t afraid to use it.”

The Biden administration says that the reason everything is so high is because of corporate greed. The baby formula companies are greedy. The oil companies are greedy. The gas stations are greedy. The beef industry is greedy. That’s what they have said in the last couple of years.

I have some questions:

  • Why are these countries greedy now? They weren’t this greedy three years ago.
  • Why did they become so greedy after Joe Biden became President? Could it be his policies? Could it be he’s in bed with them and making money? Those mansions don’t come cheap.
  • Why, all of a sudden, are all these companies greedy?

It is all because of this administration. Who’s kidding who. Things have never been this bad.
