Episode 764 – The Lies Continue

Rep. Cori Bush celebrates the anniversary of the death of a thug by completely lying about him being a thug.

Mitch McConnell proves he doesn’t understand the environment.

And Republicans need to keep their eye on the ball or they’re going to lose another election.

Dumbass of the Day

Dana Loesch has the best response to all this:

He would be alive today if he had not chosen to steal from a convenience store, resulting in the owner calling police, resulting in police stopping him, at which point Brown CHOSE to attack a cop and try to take his gun — which Eric Holder’s own DOJ concluded with its forensics report. Stop YOUR shameful and racist rewrite of facts.

The Only Way It Stops

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is showing that he is completely out-of-touch with the environment.

According to the New York Post:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has gently nudged his Republican counterparts in the House of Representatives to pump the brakes on chatter of impeaching President Biden.

“I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday.

“Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.”

A growing number of House Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment, with most of them citing the border crisis and his involvement in influence-peddling by his son Hunter.

Some things:

  • He’s kind of right here. If an impeachment is brought, it won’t lead to anything.
  • He’s wrong in thinking that we shouldn’t do it.
  • Democrats are never going to stop impeaching anybody, even if there is no evidence. So not doing anything has not worked.
  • Impeachment would be beneficial here. There’s plenty of evidence that Biden committed crimes.
  • All this would be public.
  • It has been revealed that the Biden family has received $20 million in influence peddling from foreign countries including:
    • China
    • Ukraine
    • Russia
    • Romania
    • Khazigstan
    • Mexico

So Mitch McConnell is wrong here.

Republicans Need to Focus

According to the AP:

Ohio voters resoundingly rejected a Republican-backed measure that would have made it more difficult to change the state’s constitution, setting up a fall campaign that will become the nation’s latest referendum on abortion rights since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned nationwide protections last year.

The defeat of Issue 1 on Tuesday keeps in place a simple majority threshold for passing future constitutional amendments, rather than the 60% supermajority that was proposed. Its supporters said the higher bar would protect the state’s foundational document from outside interest groups.

Voter opposition to the proposal was widespread, even spreading into traditionally Republican territory. In fact, in early returns, support for the measure fell far short of former President Donald Trump’s performance during the 2020 election in nearly every county.

It isn’t until the 10th paragraph that the truth comes to pass. But, even then, the writer puts his twist on it:

While abortion was not directly on the special election ballot, the result marks the latest setback for Republicans in a conservative-leaning state who favor imposing tough restrictions on the procedure. Ohio Republicans placed the question on the summer ballot in hopes of undercutting the citizen initiative that voters will decide in November that seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state.

Some things here:

  • This is still a good law and Democrats will suffer because of this eventually.
  • The constitution should not be this easy to change.
  • The problem lies in the fact that abortion was the topic here.
  • Before radical change, there has to be a distaste for abortion. That distaste needs to be created through the culture, not law.
  • Republicans have a tendency to change the focus of elections and let the media do it. This isn’t going to help in 2024.
  • Republicans need to work on their messaging.

Disney Keeps on Grooming

According to the New York Post:

he Walt Disney Co. and TikTok influencer Seann Altman – a biological male who identifies as gender-fluid – have joined forces to market girls’ attire on social media in the latest move showing Disney’s solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

The promotional TikTok video posted for Disney Style, a division of the Walt Disney Co. that promotes its clothing and accessories and offers style inspiration to fans, features Altman dressed in a Minnie Mouse-style getup, complete with a red dress with a Mickey Mouse pattern, a white collar, black tights, a white petticoat and yellow heels. 

“Minnie is ME,” Altman, who uses he/him pronouns, wrote on the post. “I fit right in with Mickey and his friends! @disneystyle.”

To top off the look, Altman added in a belt, white lacy gloves, and a watch before putting on red lipstick and styling his hair in dual buns on either side of his head to channel the iconic “Minnie Mouse ears” look.

“I look just like Minnie Mouse!” Altman enthused. “But something’s missing…” He added a big red bow to his hair to further channel the Disney icon.

Some things:

  • Mind you, Disney is now redoing their payment tiers because the have lost about $12 billion since 2019 in streaming subscriptions.
  • Their last 5 movies have flopped because of all the wokeness.
  • The new Snow White which is going to be woke and not be the Snow White story.
  • Their theme parks are way down in attendence.

Keep going down this path. It’ll work out.

At least their ESG score will be high.

Everything is Racist

According to the Post Millennial:

A new report from the LA Times said black employees are taking remote work options over physical job locations, even at a pay cut, to avoid “racism they faced on the job.”

LeRon Barton, who worked as a network engineer in a San Francisco hospital, took a $5000 pay cut in order to not return to an in-person work environment. The LA Times cited a “reprieve from racism” for his and others’ decision to not go back into the office.  

“Working remotely during the pandemic showed him a whole different lifestyle: no commute, more time with his family and a break from the onslaught of microaggressions and other racist behavior he’d had to endure,” the outlet wrote.

Later in the article:

“Professionals that have the opportunity to be in these remote environments and not experience microaggressions at work or not do as much code-switching or all of those things have now said, ‘Oh, that was great for my mental health’ or, ‘It helped me be a little more authentic at work,'” said Andrew McCaskill, a career expert with LinkedIn. “And a lot of employees and workers just don’t want to give that up.”

Can We Finally Call It an Industry

According to the Post Millennial:

A cross-national analysis recently published in The Lancet Psychiatry has found that if current trends persist, over half the world’s population will develop a mental illness by the age of 75.

Researchers analyzed data from over 150,000 respondents who participated in 32 WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview surveys across 29 countries from all corners of the globe between 2001 and 2022. 

They found that the overall lifetime prevalence of any mental disorder was 28.6 percent for males and 29.8 percent for females, with the latter 9 percent more likely, 54.5 versus 45.4 percent, to be at morbid risk by age 75. The median age of onset for men and women was 19 and 20, respectively. 

While the condition most likely to be experienced by both sexes was major depressive disorder, alcohol use disorder was most prevalent in men, and specific phobias were seen most in women.

Other illnesses discussed in the study include panic disorder, generalized anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, alcohol dependence, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and explosive anger. Women were found to be more likely to suffer from all of the above, save for the last four.
