Episode 733 – Do You Need Another Reason to Quit?

TikTok, the Chinese subversion app, continues to prove it needs to be banned in the United States.

The Unemployment numbers are out and they are not great.

And let’s look at some of the companies celebrating Pride month!

This Is Just A Crazy Statement

Jim Comey was on MSNBC with Jen Psaki. I do ant to point out that it is amazing that MSNBC considers itself an unbiased news outlet yet they hire anyone from the Obama and Biden administration the second they become available.

Here she is, asking James Comey who should be President in 2024. His answer isn’t amazing but his reasoning is. Let’s listen:

What an absolute moron. I have some thoughts:

  • He has not been a Republican for a really long time. He probably joined the dark side when he joined the FBI leadership.
  • The reason he became a Democrat because he was given fame a notoriety.
  • Joe Biden must win because he follows the rule of law and the Constitution? Is he kidding me?
    • Joe Biden is accused of taking bribes.
    • Joe Biden has been accused of a quid pro quo in Ukraine (we have this one on film).
    • There is evidence that Joe Biden took money through Hunter from China, Ukraine, Romania, Mexico and Russia
    • Joe Biden is accused of pedophilia against his daughter.
    • Joe Biden has been accused of rape by a woman.
    • Joe Biden has written more Executive Orders than any President in history.
    • He has supported programs that openly violate the Constitution and state’s rights.
  • James Comey is also one of the most corrupt FBI officials since J. Edgar Hoover.
    • He leaked information about Trump.
    • He opened unwarranted investigations against Trump.
    • He spied on American citizens.
    • He ignored illegal activities by Democrats (Hilary Clinton’s Email scandal).
    • He probably lied to Congress.

I do not want to hear who this asshole is voting for.

Do You Need Another Reason to Quit?

Well, China is at it again through TikTok.

According to Fox News:

The new “chroming” trend on social media has already led to a number of deaths, but what is the trend, and why is it becoming so popular now? 

“You’re literally inhaling paints and solvents to get a high … the problem is you have acetone in there, formaldehyde is in there,” Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel said during an appearance on “America’s Newsroom.” “It’s called volatile organic compounds for a reason: It irritates your skin, it can get into your lungs, you can have seizures, you can have coma, and, again, we’re occasionally seeing people die from this.” 

At a glance, the trend appears to be a variation on the decades-old trend of huffing or sniffing different materials, this time involving the inhalation of anything from aerosol cans to metallic paints, gas and solvents. Two boys, both 16, died from participating in the trend in 2019, according to The Strait Times. 

Despite the trend existing for a few years, searches for chroming spiked around May 14, according to Google Trends. The trend has gained particular attention in Australia after 13-year-old Esra Haynes died while allegedly chroming.

The article later describes some of the symptoms of chroming:

The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne explained in a series of guidelines posted on its website that the trend involves a risk of tachycardia — a term for elevated heart rate — and “varying levels of CNS depression,” or Central Nervous System depression, which occurs when a substance slows brain activity. 

Additional side effects include slurred speech, dizziness, hallucination, nausea and vomiting. Effects can last for a short amount of time — mere hours after exposure — but chroming can also lead to heart attack, seizure, suffocation, coma or permanent damage to organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, liver and kidneys. 

You notice we are not allowed to call a man who thinks he’s a woman a man without getting banned but Chinese TikTok can post challenges that can kill our kids and there’s barely a blip on the radar?

It is very apparent TikTok is a Chinese behavioral manipulation tool just like fentanyl is a Chinese weapon but no one does a thing about it.

It’s Out

According to the Wall Street Journal:

U.S. employers added a seasonally adjusted 339,000 jobs in May and the prior two months’ payrolls were revised up by nearly 100,000, the Labor Department said Friday. Workers gained more than 1.5 million jobs in 2023, more evidence of economic vitality, including robust consumer spending and a stabilizing housing market.

The report also stated:

The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 3.7% in May, still near historic lows but an uptick from April’s 3.4%, the Labor Department said. Average hourly earnings grew a solid 4.3% in May over the prior year, similar to annual gains in March and April.

The unemployment rate going up is a big deal. It says that additional people are not being hire but people are switching jobs. It also doesn’t take into account people that are getting second jobs to make ends meet.

The news wasn’t all great and this is where we see issues:

The average workweek fell to 34.3 hours, the lowest since April 2020 near the start of the pandemic. As a result of fewer hours worked, average weekly earnings advanced at a slower rate than hourly earnings, and gains have cooled since the start of the year.

Another report was released stating that more people in the country are working two jobs in order to make ends meet than ever has been seen before.

The labor-force participation rate, the share of Americans who are working or actively seeking jobs, remained flat in May at 62.6% and below the February 2020 prepandemic level of 63.3%. That partly reflects the aging U.S. population. Among workers age 25 to 54, the participation rate rose to 83.4%, a level last touched in 2007.

Again, people are not working. This is an important statistic. What we also need to look at here is the people that have left the work force. It has been found that 2% of people never returned to the work force and 2% went into early retirement. Mix that with the fact we have still not met the pre-pandemic employment numbers and that 3.7% unemployment rate looks closer to 5%.

Job areas that increased:

  • Food and beverage
  • Professional services
  • Government jobs
  • Construction
  • Transportation
  • Warehousing

It decreased in:

  • Tech sector
  • Finance
  • Retail
  • Manufacturing

The other issue that more workers creates is in the area of inflation. More jobs, more people have money. More people have money, more demand. More demand (especially with supply chain issues) more inflation. The Fed is not sure whether or not they want to raise interest rates now because that will bite into unemployment. But if they don’t inflation, which is still at 6%, will continue.

Show Me Something

President Biden is pushing the victimhood narrative for the trans group again, being as unifying as he always has been.

According to Fox News:

President Biden claimed that transgender children are in danger from “armed hate groups” across the country in a recent proclamation for Pride Month.

The proclamation, released one day before the start of Pride Month, focused on “transgender youth” and children, declaring that such young people “in over a dozen States have had their medically necessary health care banned.”

Here’s where everyone is in disagreement, including Democrats. Cutting off genitals, breasts and drugging children with sterilizing drugs is not health care.

This stuff is also not banned for everyone,. It should be, but it’s not. It’s banned for children.

“[C]hildren’s hospitals” were also identified as a place where LGBT Americans are being threatened by “armed hate groups.” 

Who are those “armed hate groups”? What have they done so far? The answer is parents at school board meetings and people that protest this stuff. There are no organized and armed hate groups. No one has ever committed violence against these people.

In fact, we could say it goes the other way. Target had a bomb threat because of their LGBTQ+-poop emoji group. It was because the moved the displays to the back and a pro-LGBTQ+-poop emoji groups called in the threat. This was never reported.

“Youth leaders are organizing walkouts at high schools and colleges across the country to protest discriminatory laws. LGBTQI+ young people and their parents are demonstrating unimaginable courage by testifying in State capitols in defense of their basic rights,” the proclamation continued. 

The document used the terms “youth,” “children” and “young” to describe transgender and “LGBTQI+” identifying individuals at least 9 times. 

The children are not doing this because they buy it. They’re doing it to get out of school. The teachers are organizing this. We know this from accounts like Libs of TikTok and interviews with the kids themselves.

Notably, Biden claimed that “State and local legislatures have already introduced over 600 hateful laws targeting the LGBTQI+ community.” 

Again, no laws have been implemented against the mutilating surgeries for adults. Only for kids.

The document warns of the threat of “armed hate groups” targeting LGBTQI members: “Homophobic and transphobic vitriol spewed online has spilled over into real life, as armed hate groups intimidate people at Pride marches and drag performances, and threaten doctors’ offices and children’s hospitals that offer care to the LGBTQI+ community. Our hearts are heavy with grief for the loved ones we have lost to anti-LGBTQI+ violence.” 

That “hateful vitriol” comes from people like me who call all those sick bastards groomers and perverts. Even though they are groomers and perverts, I have no intention of shooting anyone.

And that brings me to my final point about this. When they say armed hate groups, they mean people who don’t agree with them that believe in the Second Amendment (like me). They don’t mean that there is an actual organized hate group out there.

All this is to demonize people who don’t agree with them. Eventually, people like me will be put in jail for something we said on Twitter.

Pride Month Continues

So here are the companies and institutions that are celebrating Pride month:

  • Sesame Street
  • Peppa the Pig
  • Play Doh
  • Legos
  • All government agencies
  • The NYPD
  • Six Flags theme parks
  • Pets Mart
  • John Deere tractors
  • The New York Yankees
  • The Los Angeles Dodgers
  • The MLB
  • NASCAR
  • Little League Baseball
  • JCrew
  • Walmart
  • Microsoft
  • St. John’s the Divine Cathedral in New York

Some companies and institutions are beginning to realize this whole thing may be a bad idea.

The United States Navy and Major League Baseball has pulled their pride insignias due to fears of pissing people off.

Target has moved all their Pride crap to the back of their stores and gotten rid of the Satanist clothier.

Xbox had a pro-Pride icon. They got rid of it and replaced it with the Xbox symbol on fire.

Keep fighting folks. Target people. Keep after Target and Bud Light. They are getting the hint.

Now, am I saying we should boycott all these companies? No. I’m saying to pick and choose. If there are options, choose based in that.
