The sports world continues to go woke and the price is being paid.
Illinois wants to take all your choices away. Yeah, that’s what the Left calls democracy.
And Joe Biden continues to try to take us back to the 18th century. Us, not him. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.
Dumbasses of the Day
Losers
The U.S. Women’s soccer team was eliminated from the Women’s World Cup. Couldn’t happened to a better group of gals. This is a team:
- That knelt for the National Anthem.
- When forced to stand, the refused to sing or put their hands over their hearts.
- One gal threw the American flag on the floor so she could dance when they won last time.
- They call America racist and sexist.
- They bitch about not getting the same pay as men even though they have a quarter of the audience.
Megan Rapinoe who is a perpetual victim because she’s a woman and gay and worth $10 million was crying like a bitch when she missed her penalty kick. She told a reporter what her greatest memory was in all the World Cups she played in:
That’s right! She be getting paid. Not representing your country on the world stage but it be about the green backs!
The reason I’m opening with this story is because nobody was watching and even knows they were playing!

Simply Evil
According to Fox News:
A federal judge Thursday temporarily blocked a new Illinois law that targeted crisis pregnancy centers, saying it violated free speech.
U.S. District Judge Iain Johnston, who was appointed by former President Trump, called the law “painfully and blatantly a violation of the First Amendment.”
The ruling came after four hours of testimony from pro-life advocates who said the law had infringed on their free speech and ability to hand out literature that gives alternatives to abortion.
“It’s going to stop us from offering mothers a choice,” Kevin Rilott, director of the Rockford Family Initiative and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said.
So, this law basically is written so that women do not think there is a choice between having an abortion and not having an abortion. You might be saying that this has to be more complicated than that. You can go to Planned Parenthood where they will tell you to get an abortion (for $500-$700) or you can go to a pregnancy crisis center which will tell to keep your baby and what one can do about it (for free).
Let’s read on and find out if it is more complicated:
On July 27, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the Deceptive Practices of Limited Services Pregnancy Centers Act that allows the state attorney general to crack down on crisis pregnancy centers deemed to be using “deceptive tactics” to influence pregnant women who come to them to not get abortions.
“Women need access to comprehensive, fact-based health care when making critical decisions about their own health — not manipulation or misinformation from politically motivated, nonmedical actors,” Pritzker said in a statement when he signed the law. “By empowering the attorney general’s office to battle deceptive practices, we’re ensuring Illinoisans can make their own decisions about their bodies using accurate and safe information.”
The law would allow the state attorney general to investigate complaints about crisis pregnancy centers and strengthens the attorney general’s authority to prosecute incidences of consumer fraud in such cases. Violators of the law could face up to a $50,000 fine.
Nope, not that complicated. They want women to think abortion is the only way out and the benefits of having a baby is “disinformation”.
Some things:
- Crisis centers are places to go. They are alternative choices to abortion clinics. It’s not like they are replacing abortion clinics.
- The disinformation the state is claiming is:
- You are killing your baby.
- Killing your baby is murder.
- You will regret this.
- God wants you to have a family.
- Families are good.
- You can make it through this difficult time.
- Worse, they show you an ultrasound of the baby!
- The “correct” information the abortion clinic is giving:
- Your baby is a clump of cells and not human.
- Your life will be so much better.
- Families are bad.
- It’s a good and healthy thing to stick a spike up your uterus and scramble a child’s brain then throw it in the garbage.
Here’s the thing, if you want an abortion, get an abortion and don’t go to the pregnancy crisis center. The problem the Left is having is some women are having second thoughts about it! They want to have alternatives. The Left wants to take those alternatives away. They want you to kill your baby.
That’s evil.
All Part of the Plan
Gas has gone up $0.25 in the last week. We were all warned about this and are expecting gas to go over five dollars a gallon again. The Biden administration knew this and decided to release some leases to drill for oil since no other country is helping us and our reserves are dangerously low. This was a good move. Late but a good move.
Well, Joe Biden is showing the true coward he is.
According to Fox News:
The Biden administration proposed a plan to lock up nearly 1.6 million acres of public lands from oil and gas development across western Colorado in response to multiple legal challenges filed by environmental groups.
In a draft supplemental environmental impact statement announced Thursday, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued so-called resource management plans for its Grand Junction Field Office and Colorado River Valley field offices which oversee mineral leasing in the area. The proposal would restrict the two offices to leasing just 239,000 acres and 143,000 acres, respectively, for fossil fuel production, a total reduction of about 80%.
“Public participation is key to the development of Resource Management Plans,” BLM Upper Colorado River District Manager Greg Larson said in a statement. “This new analysis will ensure the BLM’s management of these areas will best serve our multiple use mission for the future.”
The Left just refuses to do the right thing. They want this country dependent (globalism) and bankrupt.

Because He’s Compromised
I don’t know when someone is going to do something about the compromised Joe Biden when it comes to China, Ukraine, Russia, and Mexico. He is just giving away the farm to these countries.
According to Fox News:
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was heavily criticized Friday after a Fox News Digital report showed she spoke twice with a top Chinese government official before the White House announced plans to tap emergency oil stocks.
According to internal Department of Energy (DOE) calendars obtained by Americans for Public Trust, Granholm consulted China National Energy Administration Chairman Zhang Jianhua, a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party, Nov. 19, 2021, and two days later on Nov. 21, 2021.
On Nov. 23, 2021, the White House announced a release of 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
“Before telling the American people of their plans to undermine our energy security by draining the SPR at record rates for political purposes before the midterm elections, Secretary Granholm reportedly first secretly consulted with the Chinese Communist Party,” House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers said in a statement.
I want to point out that not only did she “consult” the Chinese before releasing the oil from the reserve. She also made sure China bought a boat load of oil from the reserve. China now has the largest oil reserve in the world and that’s because we have been giving China our oil from our oil reserves.
I wonder why we are doing that? Could it be Joe Biden is compromised?
“Since then, DOE — under her leadership — has sold millions of barrels of oil from our SPR to China — the world’s biggest polluter,” she added. “It would appear Secretary Granholm meant it when she said America should ‘learn’ from what China is doing.”
This administration is corrupted and compromised and we are going to pay the bill.

But We Have to Suffer
Meanwhile, all this crap is happening and this administration, we still miss their real goal. That is to make this country into a third world banana republic.
According to Fox News:
We have seen a big consumer backlash in 2023 over Biden administration bureaucrats targeting gas stoves, but that could pale in comparison to the coming anger over costly air conditioning regulations.
In fact, that has already begun, making this unusually hot summer even more unpleasant for homeowners needing air conditioner repairs. And things could get downright ugly starting next summer.
Remember they told us they weren’t going after gas stoves and cars? Then they did.
The Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) just announced a 40% production cut in 2024 for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), the widely used class of refrigerants being targeted for their claimed contribution to climate change. As it is, the modest 10% cut in force today has already caused many HFCs to triple in price, including HFC-410a which is used in most home air conditioners.
As a result, replacing refrigerant lost from a leak has cost millions of homeowners at least $150-$200 more than it used to. But next summer, stricter production quotas will be in effect, likely sending refrigerant costs through the roof — and repair costs with them.
EPA regulators are targeting new systems too. A pending rule would outlaw all but the most climate-friendly, new central air-conditioners by 2025. Doing so is strongly supported by the air conditioning equipment makers who see an opportunity to skew the market towards their pricier models.

This is Censorship Too
According to the Daily Wire:
NASCAR faced backlash online over the weekend after it suspended a driver for “his actions on social media.”
Noah Gragson was suspended by NASCAR and Legacy Motor Club after he reportedly liked a meme on Instagram that mocked George Floyd’s death.
Here is the meme:
Tacky but what’s the big deal?
Mind you, he did not create the meme, post the meme or even repost the meme. He liked it. That’s it.
The article continues:
Both NASCAR and Legacy Motor Club released statements confirming the decision.
“NASCAR fully supports Legacy Motor Club’s decision to suspend Noah Gragson,” NASCAR said in a statement. “Following his actions on social media, NASCAR has determined that Gragson has violated the Member Conduct section of the 2023 NASCAR Rule Book and has placed him under indefinite suspension.”
Legacy Motor Club said in a statement: “We have made the decision to suspend Noah Gragson effective immediately regarding his actions that do not represent the values of our team.”
OF course, then this guy does the dumbest thing possible. He apologizes:
Gragson apologized for liking the meme, writing: “I am disappointed in myself for my lack of attention and actions on social media.”
“I understand the severity of this situation,” he continued. “I love and appreciate everyone. I try to treat everyone equally no matter who they are. I messed up plain and simple.”
