Be prepared for lawsuits because people buying beer are being asked for ID.
And Massachusetts is dealing with their illegal alien crisis…sort of.

Here is Jake Sullivan, Biden’s National Security Advisor, talking about the economy:
"Credit card delinquencies have spiked. Mortgage rates are through the roof. Inflation remains a problem … and the president wants to increase funding to foreign nations through the World Bank. How is that fair to citizens in, say, Scranton?"
Donald Trump’s campaign may have violated United States copyright law by selling merchandise featuring the former president’s mugshot, legal experts have warned.
The Republican front-runner’s campaign wasted no time capitalizing off the mugshot made of him at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, featuring the former president scowling into the camera.
Merchandise emblazoned with the historic photo and the slogan “Never surrender” was quickly hawked for between $12 and $34.
But legal scholars say that money may rightfully belong to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, which took the photo, as US copyright law stipulates that the law enforcement agency that takes a mugshot is the legal owner of it.
No ID for Beer?
According to the Daily Wire:
A federal judge has blocked a Texas law that would require pornographic websites to verify users’ ages and issue health warnings.
Judge David Ezra, a Reagan appointee, on Thursday ruled HB 1181 unconstitutional and issued a preliminary injunction against it, saying the law goes “far beyond the interest of protecting minors.”
The judge ruled the law is vague and would violate Texans’ First Amendment rights.
“By verifying information through government identification, the law will allow the government to peer into the most intimate and personal aspects of people’s lives,” Ezra wrote in his ruling.
“It runs the risk that the state can monitor when an adult views sexually explicit materials and what kind of websites they visit,” Ezra wrote. “In effect, the law risks forcing individuals to divulge specific details of their sexuality to the state government to gain access to certain speech.”
“Such restrictions have a substantial chilling effect,” the judge wrote.
The law would have required websites with one-third pornographic content to post several “public health warnings” about the psychological dangers of pornography and verify users’ ages with their ID or another method.
He said there are other problems with the law. The article continues:
Some social media companies where children can access pornography, such as Reddit, would slip past the restrictions because they are likely not composed of one-third sexual material, the judge’s ruling said. Meanwhile, websites with sex health information would be blocked for minors, the judge predicted.
Not an Overreaction or Anything
According to Fox News:
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has activated 250 members of the National Guard to provide basic services at emergency shelter hotels amid an influx of migrants that has service providers stretched thin.
Healey’s administration will also launch a Regional Rapid Response Teams to assist with overseeing shelter sites, she announced Thursday. The teams will be comprised of state employees.
The move comes after she declared a state of emergency this month over the increasing number of migrants arriving in Massachusetts from Texas.
Healey said in a statement:
“Massachusetts is in a state of emergency, and we need all hands-on deck to meet this moment and ensure families have access to safe shelter and basic services. We’re grateful to the brave men and women of the National Guard for stepping up to help us ensure that every family in emergency shelter has their needs met, including access to food, transportation, medical care, and education.”
Notice, there is nothing about Joe Biden just letting in illegal aliens.
About 600 families or about 24,000 illegals have been sent to Boston. Over 180,000 crossed the border in August.
Those attending outdoor parties or barbecues in New York City this weekend may notice an uninvited guest looming over their festivities: a police surveillance drone.
The New York City police department plans to pilot the unmanned aircrafts in response to complaints about large gatherings, including private events, over Labor Day weekend, officials announced Thursday.
“If a caller states there’s a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and go check on the party,” Kaz Daughtry, the assistant NYPD Commissioner, said at a press conference.
The plan drew immediate backlash from privacy and civil liberties advocates, raising questions about whether such drone use violated existing laws for police surveillance.
Last month, a woman named Sabrina posted a TikTok video that went viral saying an airline worker asked if she would switch her front-row first-class seat so a teenager could sit with their family.
She denied the request and wrote in the video’s caption: “That’s a no from me dawg. Would you have given up your seat? Also they ended up finding a solution so no, I am not a terrible human being. Also the child was like 13.”
Sabrina told Fox News she was offered a seat in the back of first class in exchange for her first row seat. She said she still feels comfortable with her decision.
“The ticket was NOT cheap and I booked my seat in advance to make sure I treat myself to a nice experience as a reward for finishing my PhD,” she said.
If it was me, that kid would be sitting in the back of the plane. The parents should have planned their trip better.
The nation’s top health agency is recommending easing restrictions on marijuana in what could portend a landmark shift in federal policy on cannabis.
The Department of Health and Human Services has recommended to the Drug Enforcement Administration that marijuana be reclassified as a lower-risk, Schedule III controlled substance, according to a person familiar with the recommendation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the issue. Marijuana is currently a Schedule I controlled substance, deemed alongside heroin and LSD as having the potential for abuse and with little or no accepted medical use.
DEA, which said it has the final authority to classify a drug under federal law, confirmed it has received a recommendation from HHS and said it will now initiate its review. The process could take months. If DEA follows the health agency’s recommendation, marijuana would be placed in the same category as anabolic steroids and ketamine, which can obtained with a prescription.
Such a decision would not outright legalize marijuana at the federal level,a policy that has long conflicted with those of states that have legalized marijuana for medical and recreational use. But itcould nevertheless alter the landscape of cannabis in this country, boosting the regulated marijuana industry in states where it is legal and even facilitating more scientific research into the effects of the drug.
“We believe that rescheduling to Schedule III will mark the most significant federal cannabis reform in modern history,” said Edward Conklin of the U.S. Cannabis Council, a nonprofit that advocates for the regulated cannabis industry. “President Biden is effectively declaring an end to Nixon’s failed war on cannabis and placing the nation on a trajectory to end prohibition.”
Pope Francis, the leader of the Catholic church, is a heretic.
Those paper straws you’re being forced to use to save the environment turn out not to be great for the environment.
And Joe Biden wants to outlaw beer! OK, calm down. That’s not what’s happening. Let’s talk about Right-wing overreaction.
Going to Hell and a Hand Basket
The august employment numbers are out:
187,000 jobs were added.
The expectations were at 170,000.
Wages grew 4.3%. Inflation is at 3.2%. That’s the good news.
225,000 more people are looking for jobs. The China virus money is running out. We have been waiting for this.
June and July’s numbers have been revised down by 110,000 jobs. So all that celebrating was for not.
Unemployment is up from 3.5% to 3.8%. That’s really bad and many think this drop is just the beginning.
As far as inflation, that 3.2% crap does not include energy. Average gas prices are up and expected to get higher. They are at $3.82. In California and most of the West Coast, the average is back over $5.00.
Guess what isn’t out of season. High winds and dry weather in Maui (FEMA was in Hawaii at the time to plan for forest fires) and hurricanes from August to November (it’s hurricane season). I also want to point out the Hurricane Idalia hit Florida at a Cat 1 hurricane and dropped down to a tropical storm. Damage was minimal.
This Guy Is A Disaster
I am a Catholic. Always have been and have become a stronger Catholic as I have gotten older.
The Catholic church is run by Pope Francis and the Vatican in Rome. The pope is considered infallible when it comes to church doctrine. That is important to understand. He is not infallible in everything.
The church has always been liberal when it comes to politics and economics. The church likes the concepts of centralized power and equity. They like communism and socialism and globalism. Mind you, they like the concepts. In practice, they condemn it. As a matter of fact, you could say that the church’s implementation of socialism didn’t work out real well.
What the church has always been is conservative when in come to social policies and practices. They believe in sanctity of the family. They are against abortion, gay marriage and the trans cult. They push attendance to religious ceremonies, the belief in God and spreading His message. They believe in freedom and individuality.
And then there’s Pope Francis.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying that they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Roman Catholic doctrine allows for change over time.
Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who for decades found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage.
You know, the conservatives that are anti-abortion, anti-drugging and mutilation of kids, pro-family, anti-gay marriage. Everything that the church has stood for for thousands of years. Those conservatives.
Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried Catholics receive the sacraments.
As far as the environment, he believes in destroying economies and removing the technologies that have made life livable and increased the quality of life like air conditioning. As far as the poor, he believes in taxing the rich and giving the money to the poor. In other words, equity. The church actually saw this as theft. They believe rich individuals should be charitable.
Francis made the comments in a private meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order while visiting Lisbon on Aug. 5; the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica, which is vetted by the Vatican secretariat of state, published a transcript of the encounter Monday.
During the meeting, a Portuguese Jesuit told Francis, 86, that he had suffered during a recent sabbatical year in the U.S. because he came across many Catholics, including some U.S. bishops, who criticized Francis’ 10-year papacy as well as today’s Jesuits.
They criticized the pope because he refuses to go against major left wing policies like abortion and the trans thing. To this date, he has only condemned abortion once. He also has supported child birth outside of marriage and the illegitimacy of the family. He also believes church doctrine is fluid and can change with the times. Does that sound familiar?
Francis, who hails from Argentina, acknowledged his point, saying there was “a very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” in the U.S. church, which he called “backward.” He warned that such an attitude leads to a climate of closure, which was erroneous.
“Doing this, you lose the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other words, ideologies replace faith,” he said.
It seems that ideology is replacing his faith. Notice leftists always accuse conservatives of doing what they themselves are doing?
“The vision of the doctrine of the church as a monolith is wrong,” he added. “When you go backward, you make something closed off, disconnected from the roots of the church,” which then has devastating effects on morality.
“I want to remind these people that backwardness is useless, and they must understand that there’s a correct evolution in the understanding of questions of faith and morals” that allows for doctrine to progress and consolidate over time, Francis said.
Here is the pope saying church doctrine should evolve, or change, with the times. If he said this 600 years ago, he would have been burned at the stake as a heretic.
Francis has previously acknowledged the criticism directed at him from some U.S. conservatives, once quipping that it was an “honor” to be attacked by Americans.
Notice he attacks American conservatives yet he says nothing of the Chinese atheists? I wonder why?
This guy is a heretic and his reign can’t end soon enough.
Who Would Have Thunk It
According to the New York Post:
Paper straws might not be the “eco-friendly” drinking tube they’ve been promoted to be: Belgian researchers found that these so-called “green” utensils are toxic and therefore potentially worse for the environment than their much-vilified plastic counterparts, according to a new study published in the journal Food Additives & Contaminants.
“Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” Thimo Groffen, Ph.D., study author and an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp, said in a statement. “However, the presence of PFAS [poly- and perfluoroalkyl-based substances known as “forever chemicals” because they last for a long time before breaking down] in these straws means that’s not necessarily true.”
The new research comes following multiple initiatives enforced by numerous US cities, including New York, and restaurant chains to ban disposable plastic suckers comprised of polypropylene and polystyrene, which take hundreds of years to decompose and are linked to health problems from liver problems to birth defects.
Who would have thunk it. The cure is worse than the disease. Sounds kind of like the situation with the China virus.
However, according to the new research paper, this is a total “strawman argument” — as these alleged environment-saving slushie siphons are potentially packed with more PFAS than the “evil” plastic version.
To deduce this a-straw-calyptic theory, researchers analyzed the PFA concentrations of 39 brands of drinking straws, which were comprised of five materials: paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel, and plastic.
They found that paper straws were the most PFA-filled with a whopping 90% of paper straws containing the chemicals.
Meanwhile, bamboo straws — another highly touted green alternative — clocked in second with 80%, followed by 75% of plastic straws, 40% of glass straws, and none in steel straws.
President Biden’s alcohol czar says Americans may be told by officials to have no more than two beers a week.
Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) George Koob told the Daily Mail on Thursday that the U.S. may follow Canada’s footsteps on alcohol guidelines.
Currently, American guidelines recommend men limit themselves to two drinks per day while women should only have one drink. The American recommendations are up for review in 2025.
Canada’s guidelines recommend only having two drinks per week.
This doesn’t sound too extreme.
Texas Republican Rep. Troy Nehls told Fox News Digital the “rich men north of Richmond are once again recommending what hard-working Americans should and shouldn’t do.”
“Biden’s beer czar has no business advising ‘guidance’ on alcohol consumption,” Nehls said. “This is who the Democrats are. They want to control every aspect of your life.”
“Two beers a week? What a joke,” he continued. “Let’s not forget that JFK snagged 1,200 Cuban cigars just hours before banning all Cuban products from the United States.”
Distilled Spirits Council vice president of science and health Amanda Berger blasted Koob’s comments in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Dr. Koob’s comments calling for a drastic change to the federal recommendations on alcohol before the review of alcohol research has even begun undermines the scientific rigor and objectivity of the entire Dietary Guidelines process,” Berger said.
This seems like a pretty extreme response. It isn’t but it is an example of seeing the slippery slope.
A proposed rule change by the Department of Energy to make ceiling fans more energy efficient is receiving pushback from Republicans in the House Committee on Small Business who fear the new regulations could put small manufacturers out of business.
In a letter to the Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on Thursday, the group of Republicans wrote, “This rule would require numerous small business fan manufacturers to redesign their products and may put between 10 and 30 percent of small business ceiling fan manufacturers out of business.”
Analysis from the DOE shows that the new rules would save the average consumer $39.84 over the device’s lifespan while costing manufacturers a total of $86.6 million per year in increased equipment costs.
A DOE spokesperson defended the proposed changes in a statement to Fox News, saying, “These proposed standards, which are required by Congress, wouldn’t take effect until 2028, would give Americans more energy efficient options to choose from, and would save hardworking taxpayers up to $369 million per year, while substantially reducing harmful air pollution — a crucial fact that some have conveniently failed to mention.”
They want to get rid of:
Gas powered cars.
Gas powered buses.
Gas powered trucks.
Gas powered stoves.
Air conditioners.
Water heaters.
Light bulbs.
Refrigeration (remember the freon bans?).
Gas generators.
Gas powered lawn mowers.
Leaf blowers.
Cigarettes and cigars.
Let’s not forget they want to ban other things that have nothing to do with the environment like guns, speech and religion. Basically, this government wants to bring us back to 1702 before we had the technology to improve and extend life and before we freedom was written into the laws of this country.
Whenever a Leftist screams about saving democracy, ask yourself what “democracy” he’s talking about.
This is a terrible story of bureaucracy destroying lives and there is no way people are going to recover.
Here is the story:
Appomattox County Public Schools concealed Sage Blair’s gender transition from her parents and hid the fact that she was being bullied over dressing like a boy.
The events and secrecy led to Sage running away from her rural Virginia home.
She was captured by a sex trafficker and taken to Baltimore, Maryland, where she was held in a locked room and raped by multiple men,
When the FBI recovered her, a Baltimore public defender named Aneesa Khan worked to keep the girl in Maryland until her parents accepted her gender transition.
The mother had not refused to accept her child’s transition because she did not even know about it.
Khan threw away the letters that Michelle Blair was sending her and led the girl to believe that she had been abandoned by her parents.
The 14 year old rape victim was put in a Baltimore group home with teenage boys and “told by Khan that her parents no longer wanted her, and that Khan was going to arrange for [her] to live with a family in Maryland who would affirm her as a boy.”
Even after a judge said that it would be illegal under the Interstate Compact on Juveniles to refuse to return the girl to Virginia, the girl remained in Baltimore while Khan appealed.
This Khan bitch got two counselors to say that Blaire’s mom abused her to keep her in Maryland and presented
In the group home, she was raped again until she ran away.
She was kidnapped by another sex trafficker and forced into slavery.
Texas caught this guy, freed his slaves, and sent her home…finally.
Michelle Blair, the child’s mother, is a foster care parent herself with a perfect record.
The Daily Wire contacted the Maryland Public defenders office. This is what the Daily Wire wrote:
Melissa Rothstein, a spokeswoman for the Maryland Office of the Public Defender — whose email signature includes her pronouns — returned a request for comment from The Daily Wire only by expressing concern for the safety of the lawyer, Khan.
“We remain concerned for her safety and caution against including personal identifying information or photo, which could reignite and expand these threats,” Rothstein said.
The Blair’s filed a lawsuit stating:
The lawsuit seeks “to recover damages for tortious interference with the parent-child relationship, conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, professional malpractice, and other rights under Virginia law.”
“Deprived of her parents’ care and treatment as a result of Appomattox Defendants’ conduct, S.B. feared continuing harassment and assaults at school and threats from schoolmates to pursue S.B. and her family at home and ran away. She was found by an adult male who kidnapped S.B., drugged and violently raped her in the backseat of his car. It was this man that she lost her virginity to. He then drove her to Washington, D.C. and left her with two men who raped and drugged her again. These two men drove her to Maryland and left her with a registered sex offender. He kept S.B. in a locked room after raping her and trafficking her to other men.”
I will go a step further, this Kahn bitch should lose her license and go to prison.
Here’s a newsflash: Joe Biden is corrupt and too stupid to hide it.
A 12-year old gets a big victory in Colorado and teaches the school district a history lesson.
And it’s really good to be a perverted dude these days.

MRS. DOOCY TIME: "@NikkiHaley says 'the idea we have biological boys playing in girls sports, it is the women's issue of our time.' Does [Biden] agree this is a women's rights issue?"
Joe Biden’s corruption, and stupidity, is becoming a real problem for Democrats.
According to the Daily Wire:
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is being sued to turn over approximately 5,400 emails connected to then-Vice President Joe Biden’s pseudonym accounts to forward government information and business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others.
Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) filed a federal lawsuit against the agency on Monday after NARA officials confirmed with other sources that Biden used three personal pseudonym email accounts under the names Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware but has since “dragged its feet and still has not produced a single email,” the law group said in a news release.
This guy is so stupid he can’t make up an E-mail address that can’t be traced to cover up his corruption.
A 12-year-old boy just won a major victory against his school after a video of him being removed from class for displaying a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack went viral this week.
Education expert and president of the Libertas Institute in Utah, Connor Boyack, released a screenshot of the Vanguard School Board of Directors allowing Jaiden to “attend school with the Gadsden flag patch visible on his backpack.”
“We won!” Boyack wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Tuesday. “Let this be a lesson — document your encounters w/ government employees. Had Jaiden’s mom not recorded the video, this wouldn’t have got nearly the attention that it did.”
Here is the video:
Meet 12yo Jaiden who was kicked out of class yesterday in Colorado Springs for having a Gadsden flag patch, which the school claims has "origins with slavery."
The school's director said via email that the patch was "disruptive to the classroom environment."
The family released the statement by the Vanguard School Board of Directors overturning the schools decision.
What really should concern people is not this little boy and the fight they had to go through but the history all the kids are being taught at this school.
Everyone is a Dumbass Here
According to the Post Millennial:
Seven college students, sorority sisters at the University of Wyoming, brought suit against the national Kappa Kappa Gamma leadership over their policy of allowing a man into the sisterhood. That case has now been rejected by the US District Court for Wyoming, and the sisters in the sorority will be forced to allow the male entry to the women’s group.
The male in question, Artemis Langford, reportedly watched the college girls undress, sometimes sporting an erection while doing so. The sorority sisters didn’t like it, but the Kappa Kappa Gamma policy is that men who claim to be women are women enough to be part of the sisterhood.
Judge Alan Johnson dismissed the case, Westenbroek v Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity. The ruling from Johnson was that it was the right of the group to redefine the word “woman” to include men. “Kappa Kappa Gamma’s bedrock right as a private, voluntary organization — and one this Court may not invade,” the judge said, per Reduxx.
Johnson also declined to say what a woman is, a question that has plagued many in public life who do not want to be shamed for knowing that biological reality exists. “The University of Wyoming chapter voted to admit — and, more broadly, a sorority of hundreds of thousands approved — Langford,” Johnson said.
“With its inquiry beginning and ending there, the Court will not define ‘woman’ today.
“The delegate of a private, voluntary organization interpreted ‘woman’, otherwise undefined in the non-profit’s bylaws, expansively; this Judge may not invade Kappa Kappa Gamma’s freedom of expressive association and inject the circumscribed definition Plaintiffs urge.”
Everyone is an idiot in this story. Especially the women who do not just throw their membership cards to this sorority in the trash.
Who is at Fault Here?
According to Fox News:
A Waldorf, Maryland, teenager was fatally stabbed early Sunday morning after a dispute over a fast-food dipping sauce turned physical.
Now, a Washington, D.C., Superior Court magistrate judge has ordered the suspect accused of stabbing the 16-year-old be held at a secured juvenile facility until her next hearing Friday.
FOX 5 DC reported that the suspect, also 16 and from Waldorf, faces second-degree murder and multiple other charges in the fatal stabbing of Naima Liggon.
Before giving her decision, Judge Sherri Beatty-Arthur reportedly told the court that the incident was a “dispute over sauce.”
At about 2:10 a.m. Sunday, a group of young people stopped at the 24-hour McDonald’s by U Street and 14th Street Northwest in Washington after driving from Maryland to go to a party in D.C.
During the juvenile hearing Monday, it was revealed that an argument started inside the vehicle over the fast-food giant’s sweet and sour dipping sauce before turning physical. The teens, who were still near the eatery, got out of the vehicle and the fight continued.
One of the defense attorneys said the suspect stabbed Liggon in self-defense after getting jumped during the fight.
There is a saying that nothing good happens after midnight. Question: Why are these kids out at 2 AM? Where were there parents? Why aren’t their parents in jail?
Just Dumb
Here comes another cancel culture moment.
According to Fox News:
Martha Stewart’s Arctic getaway has landed her in some hot water.
Stewart posted a picture of herself on social media enjoying a cocktail aboard a luxury cruise traveling to Greenland from Iceland.
“We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight,” Stewart wrote, in part, in her caption.
She also shared a photo of a huge piece of ice sitting on a black cart, presumably the ice she was referring to being used her drink.
The rest of the post featured photos of glaciers and beautiful scenery from her journey and concluded with a pic of the 82-year-old in cold-weather gear on the deck of the ship.
“Martha the ice caps are melting don’t put them in your drink,” wrote one commenter.
“I generally love Martha and the excesses of her life because she’s about beautiful gardens, homes, and food, but wealthy white people drinking their iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone deaf,” shared another.
“Martha I love ya. But weren’t you just talking about climate change with your wash out on your driveway in NY? Melting icebergs for a cocktail surely won’t help. I’m not even going to talk about the boat you’re on and how that can’t be good for climate change either,” said a third.
“You should have left the ice right where it was. You have heard of global warming haven’t you?” questioned another.
Representatives for Stewart did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the post.
Martha Stewart is 82-years old and worth $400 million. If she doesn’t flip a double-barreled middle finger here I will never make the chicken soup she taught me again.
Crime, homelessness and illegal immigration are huge problems in the United States, especially in blue cities. The leadership in these cities support laws and policies that support all this stuff. Let’s see how they are doing.

Joe Biden has spent 21 of the last 30 days on vacation. That includes a ten day vacation in Delaware, a seven day vacation in Lake Tahoe and two weekends in Delaware. In that time, the administration has done no press conferences. Needless to say, they were a little rusty.
One of the things old Joe missed was the second anniversary of the messed-up Afghanistan pullout. Here is Karin Jean Pierre asking about what Joe has to say about all the girls he abandoned that are under the predations of the Taliban:

San Francisco Mayor London Breed joined more than 200 protesters who gathered Wednesday outside a federal courthouse to call for an end to a federal restriction on the city’s ability to clear homeless encampments.
“It is not humane to let people live on our streets in tents, use drugs. We have found dead bodies, we have found a dead baby in these tents. We have seen people in really awful conditions, and we are not standing for it anymore,” Breed said at the rally.
Here she is, expressing her “outrage”:

The protesters demanded an end to a federal judge’s order banning San Francisco from cleaning up homeless tent encampments unless the city has enough shelter beds for every homeless person.
Inside the courthouse, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from the city’s attorneys asking the court to throw out the temporary injunction against cleaning encampments.
A shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago during a White Socks game on Friday night left two women injured, and blood in the stands. Police are investigating, and it’s not clear yet if the gunshots came from in the stands or outside the stadium.
Two people were confirmed to be injured. A 42-year-old woman with a gun shot to her leg and a 26-year-old woman with a graze wound to her abdomen, per a statement from the Chicago Police Department.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing backlash after filing suit against Kia and Hyundai over claims they manufactured cars that lacked appropriate anti-theft measures, ultimately leading to a surge in car crimes.
Democratic Alderman Raymond Lopez mocked Johnson over the lawsuit on “Fox & Friends,” calling the move a “play from a socialist playbook” as crime continues to ravage streets in the Windy City.
“Clearly, we don’t have a crime problem. We have a Kia problem in the city of Chicago, according to Mayor Johnson,” Lopez told Steve Doocy on Monday. “The numbers speak for themselves. 104 percent increase from last year, a 234 percent increase in vehicle thefts from two years ago, but yet it’s the car’s fault.”
“It’s the fact that they are so easily taken by criminals who run rampant in the city of Chicago, but we have yet to hear our mayor say anything, one word, about the criminals running rampant in our streets,” he continued. “And all he does in turn is lambast the media, lambast those who try to hold criminals accountable by playing word games.
A little over two months ago, the Los Angeles City Council voted to officially become a “Sanctuary City” in the “Sanctuary State” of California. Now, L.A. Mayor Karen Bass (D) is saying that illegal aliens aren’t invited to the City of Angeles — in stark contrast to her prior statements.
Bass’ newfound opposition comes after Texas Governor Greg Abbott has spent months busing illegal immigrants to L.A.
“L.A. has not extended an invitation asking for people to come,” Bass told Fox L.A. anchor Marla Tellez. “This is a political act.”
I wonder what could have changed Los Angeles’ mind? The article continues:
LA Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez even said point blank that Abbott’s actions were the motivating factor behind fighting for sanctuary status and one that welcomes all people.
“These dangerous actions from far-right, weak-minded politicians who rely on stunts instead of actual leadership are exactly why we’re fighting to make L.A. a sanctuary city,” Hernandez said. “L.A. was built by immigrants and it thrives because of immigrants. We will continue to be a place that values and dignifies all human life, no matter who they are or where they come from.”
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass claimed on Friday’s episode of “The Issue Is” on Fox 11 Los Angeles that the massive increase in retail theft in the city is because “things like this happen when there are profits to be made,” and the “reforms that people object to have nothing to do with these crimes.”
During the interview, Bass discussed a law enforcement task force that she is supporting that encompasses different agencies to combat retail theft. She noted, “Just the other day, they made eleven arrests.”
“These are crimes that are significant. They are felonies. They are not misdemeanors,” she continued. “One of the things that we need to look at though, rest assured, they are not selling $10,000 purses in poor communities. They’re selling those purses online. They’re selling those stolen goods online.”
“I believe, when you have a crime like that, all of the actors are culpable and need to be dealt with. And so, we need to look at the online sales of stolen property, because that’s what it is,” Bass added.
When host Elex Michaelson asked what she says to people who believe there is now more crime due to a lack of consequences for committing them in Los Angeles, Bass responded, “Well, they especially focus on that with these retail crime[s] … I think there [are] a lot of misunderstandings about that. These are felonies, and in some cases…these are crimes that do have major consequences.”
“The reforms that people object to have nothing, nothing to do with these crimes,” she concluded.
Rock legend Alice Cooper lost a brand partnership with a cosmetics company after he slammed the transgender movement in an interview late this week.
Cooper had just signed a brand deal with Vampyre Cosmetics only a couple of weeks ago, but it has since been canceled after the rocker spoke out against “gender affirming care” for minors, according to the New York Post.
In an interview with Stereogum, Cooper was asked about other rock giants who have come out against transgenderism.
“I’m understanding that there are cases of transgender, but I’m afraid that it’s also a fad, and I’m afraid there’s a lot of people claiming to be this just because they want to be that,” he said. “I find it wrong when you’ve got a six-year-old kid who has no idea. He just wants to play, and you’re confusing him telling him, ‘Yeah, you’re a boy, but you could be a girl if you want to be.’”
“I think that’s so confusing to a kid. It’s even confusing to a teenager,” he continued. “You’re still trying to find your identity, and yet here’s this thing going on, saying, ‘Yeah, but you can be anything you want. You can be a cat if you want to be.’ I mean, if you identify as a tree. … And I’m going, ‘Come on! What are we in, a Kurt Vonnegut novel?’ It’s so absurd, that it’s gone now to the point of absurdity.”
Following Cooper’s remarks, Vampyre Cosmetics released a statement on Instagram: “In light of recent statements by Alice Cooper[,] we will no longer be doing a makeup collaboration. We stand with all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and believe everyone should have access to healthcare.”
Alice Cooper is worth $50 million. Vampyre Cosmetics has a revenue stream of less than $5 million. What they are paying Cooper is pocket change for him. With that being said, let me go a different direction with this cancel culture moment.
A white supremacist goes on a rampage in Jacksonville, Florida. The black sheriff of Jacksonville puts water on all the media narratives.
And here we go again. We are going to have to determine if we are going to live under the thumb of COVID policy.
Rest In Peace
Bob Barker, made famous by being on The Price is Right and his cameo role on Happy Gilmore has died at the age of 99.
He was on the famous game show for 35 years and retired at the age of 87. He won 19 Emmy awards and is in the Television Hall of Fame.
At the age of 15, while still in high school, Barker met and fell in love with Dorothy Jo Gideon, who would become his wife. On November 17, 1939, he took her on their first date, which was an Ella Fitzgerald concert. In fact, according to Barker, they “were never separated from then on”—until her death from lung cancer in 1981.
He was known to be a pro-animal guy and was a vegan and refused to wear leather or animals skins of any kind on the show. That was also one of the reasons he let his hair go white naturally.
Another tragedy happened in Florida this weekend and it didn’t take the Left much time to exploit it.
According to CNN:
The gunman who killed three people Saturday at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, in what authorities said was a racist attack against Black people had earlier been turned away from the campus of a nearby historically Black university.
The shooter, described by police as a White man in his early 20s, first went to the campus of Edward Waters University, where he refused to identify himself to an on-campus security officer and was asked to leave, the university stated in a news release.
“The individual returned to their car and left campus without incident. The encounter was reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office by EWU security,” the school said.
The suspect put on a bulletproof vest and mask while still on campus, and then went to the nearby Dollar General, Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters told CNN’s Jim Acosta. Armed with an AR-15 style rifle and a handgun, the gunman opened fire outside the store and then again inside, fatally shooting the three victims before killing himself, according to Waters.
The three victims killed, two males and one female, were all Black, the sheriff said.
Of course, before we know much about the shooter, the media points out and beats on the fact that the shooter was white and all the victims were black and the only reason the attack took place was racism.
Here is Tracie Davis, state senator of Florida, doing just that.
Got it? It is racism and Ron DeSantis are to blame. I wonder if MSNBC reported on a black man shot five white people just because he wanted to kill white people in June in Alabama? By the way, there was another one like that in Oklahoma where four were killed for the same reason. None of this stuff is reported.
But they weren’t done. Here is another question and the black sheriff of Jacksonville shuts it completely down.
By the way, he’s absolutely correct. Hey, there’s racism in the country. No one is arguing that. There are crappy people in the world. Most aren’t. There’s no acknowledgement of that in the media. Fortunately, they are the minority.
Well the Jacksonville sheriff, TK Waters, who is black, had a press conference and he had some things. Here he is talking about the shooter.
The shooter had no friends, no job and was living with his parents. Oh yeah. He also wrote a manifesto and was overweight. He was a mess.
The press, seeing that the sheriff was not going to bite on the “American is racist” thing. The media decides to go after the guns. He blows that out of the water and points out the system failed because there was no way to know he’d do this.
The media keeps pushing the gun thing. Here is the sheriff, putting a end to the gun control thing with reason and logic:
Absolutely correct and he has hit on the problem with this country, specifically from the media. They refuse to acknowledge the individual and then dump a blanket statement on the shooter. If the shooter is black it is guns and wealth inequities. If the shooter is white, it’s racism. No other reasons.
Here’s the real problem, there are other reasons. There is a reason why there are more mass shooting and murders in general. We need to tackle that.
People are catching the flu. That’s because flu season is approaching. One of the flu variants that is going around is the 30th variant of the China virus. There is a push for masks and social distancing and staying at home and getting vaccinated again. We talked about that last week.
Of course, nothings actually worked, including the vaccine. So Joe Biden, who defeated the big pharma companies, has decided to give them more money again.
According to the Post Millennial:
On Friday, President Joe Biden revealed that he signed off on a new proposal to Congress for additional funds to develop a new COVID-19vaccine “that is needed, that’s necessary, that works” and will “likely be recommended that everybody get it.”
During a press conference, the President asked if he could speak on an uptick in COVID-19 cases and he responded, “As a matter of fact I signed off this morning on a proposal to present to the Congress a request for additional funding for a new vaccine that is needed, that’s necessary, that works.”
Here is old Joe Biden, being asked the COVID question while he is on vacation…again:
Biden on his BRAND NEW Covid vaccine:
"…it will likely be recommended that everybody get it."
He says the quiet part out loud. The last vaccines didn’t work. That does open up some questions. Joe Biden has taken, like, 12 shots for nothing, apparently.
The answer here is no. We’re done. No masks, no more staying at home, no more shots.
Here is another example of the government using the Department of Justice to go after the government’s enemies.
According to the BBC:
The DoJ says SpaceX falsely claimed that it was not allowed to hire non-US citizens.
The investigation into SpaceX by the DoJ was prompted after allegations of discrimination from a foreign worker.
The BBC has contacted SpaceX for comment.
The DoJ alleged that SpaceX “routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them, because of their citizenship status” from September 2018 to May 2022.
An asylee is a person who has been granted asylum. They are authorised to work in the US, may apply for a social security card, may request permission to travel overseas, and can apply to bring family members to the country.
Elon Musk’s company said it was only allowed to hire citizens and green card holders because of “export control laws,” the DOJ said.
However, the DoJ also said that this was not correct and that these laws do not mandate such restrictions.
Just wow. Essentially, the DoJ is saying that Space X is breaking the law by following the immigration laws. This lawsuit isn’t going anywhere.
Donald Trump is arrested…again. This time we get a pretty picture. The T-shirts should be out by Monday.
Let’s take a look at the debate on Wednesday. I saw so you have to hear about it.
And someone should hang over the incompetence during the Hawaiian fire.
Someone Needs to Hang for This!
According to the Daily Wire:
Survivors of the Maui fire that swept through the town of Lahaina said the only paved road out was barricaded by authorities as flames overcame the town, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Maui Police Chief John Pelletier said during a news conference that residents were not prevented from fleeing Lahaina, but accounts from some of the survivors suggest they were hindered from making a quick escape because of the decision to close the Honoapiilani Highway and a bypass at the south end of town.
Witnesses who survived the blaze said that traffic quickly backed up as residents attempted to flee to the south, but the road was blocked as a crew worked on downed power lines. One family ignored the barricade and swerved past the cones placed in the road, making it safely to another town nearly an hour later.
Donald Trump went to Fulton County jail to be processed for his RICO charges. He released the mug shot which everyone was looking forward to see.
The picture itself was not flattering. He put on his determined angry face. This is exactly the image he wants to portray. It’s a great picture.
He made a statement after he finished being processed right outside the jail:
He also released a campaign fundraising statement:
“The American people know what’s going on. What has taken place is a travesty of justice and ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
“If you are doing poorly due to the sinister people in control of our country right now, don’t even think about donating! But if you can, please make a contribution to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and SAVE AMERICA during this dark chapter in our nation’s history.”
This is backfiring for the Left. He is handling this perfectly and he is going to ride this all the way through the primaries.
The Debate
I had to watch that miserable debate, so you have to hear about it. It was terrible. First, let’s talk about the entire production and then get to the candidates.
Fox News
Fox News is touting this as a huge victory. It wasn’t. They did a terrible job. I like Bret Baher and Martha MaCallum but they stunk it up.
Here’s what I saw:
There were too many candidates. There should have been two maybe three candidates.
The format sucked. The candidates had 30 seconds to answer a question. What the hell are you going to learn from that?
The moderators were in it too much. They should throw out a topic and let everyone go.
The moderators couldn’t/wouldn’t control the candidates. I couldn’t understand a damn thing anyone said because they were all yelling at each other.
Way too many poll question. “Raise your hand if…”
There was actual time spent on climate change? They didn’t talk about CRT, gender ideology, or or the banning of utilities like gas powered stoves. They barely talked about the economy or the weaponization of the DOJ.
Donald Trump needed to be there.
It was terrible and not like it used to be and it was worthless.
Ron DeSantis
He won the debate.
He was assertive but not overly agressive.
He pointed out he did a lot in Florida and he would do it federally. This is his main point.
All the policy points he has already done in Florida.
He didn’t fight with anyone.
No one really attacked him.
According to the Washington Post and Five-Thirty-Eight, he won the debate.
Vivek Ramaswamy
I think he came in third by a long shot. Not because he was good but because he was loud and the others were terrible.
He was obnoxious.
He made defamatory statements against the other candidates.
He flip-flops.
He does have a lot of energy.
He showed he is inexperienced.
He used a lot of Barrack Obama imagery which is weird.
Nikki Haley
She came in second in the debate.
She had the best swipes against Ramaswamy.
She was the most moderate and reasonable on controversial topics like abortion and Ukraine.
She knows foreign policy.
She did screech a lot which made it hard to watch.
She brought up the I-am-woman-hear-me-roar crap that is annoying.
She did well.
Mike Pence
The only question I have is why Mike Pence is doing this other than because his political career is over and to protect his legacy.
He did show he was the most experienced.
He spent a lot of his time defending the Trump administration.
He looked really out of water when he tried to be the mean guy and burn other candidates.
He really overdid the religion thing. He is kowtowing to the evangelical vote.
He’s going nowhere.
The Other Candidates
Who cares. They should all drop out.
Donald Trump
A lot of people said Donald Trump won the debate because he didn’t go and did an interview with Tucker Carlson. That interview was crap.
By not participating, he looked scared to defend his presidency. Not a good look.
The letter that Barrack Obama wrote to his girlfriend and was redacted has been transcribed and confirmed…I guess.
Here’s what it said:
“In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present, a refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination.
“My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency.”
There is an article called Men’s Groups Are Embracing and Alternative Conception of Masculinity by a gal named Tara Bahrampour. To say the least, it’s an interesting article. Let’s go through it.
On a Thursday in spring, as the sun set over D.C.’s Palisades neighborhood, nine men layacross awooden deck under the darkening sky. Birds trilled, their song drowned periodically by planes roaring toward Reagan National Airport. A stick of incense smoldered, its smoke curling into the mild air.
“Take in the sounds,” said Rua Williamson, who was leading the men in a breathwork session. “I invite you to maybe bring up an intention. How you want to live in this world. How you want to love in this world. How you want to be in this world.”
The men ranged from young adulthood to middle age; they were White, Black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern. As Williamson directed them to take short breaths, their bellies contracted in unison. Someone cranked up a Bluetooth device, and electronic drumming and bass rose up. Williamson laid his hand on the tummy of Alex Mero, a 52-year-old accountant in a light-purple T-shirt and black eyeglasses. He wrapped his hands around the waist of 30-year-old Dru Haynesworth, an activist and community health worker from Southeast Washington wearing a T-shirt that said “VOTE.”
He brought the men together with a collective ommmm. “Feel the vibration resonate in the floor,” Williamson said. “Feel the connection to your brothers.”
It was a kind of connection that U.S. men increasingly say is missing from their lives, leaving them lonely, disconnected and, often, angry. Earlier this year, Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy declared the country to be in an “epidemic of loneliness and isolation.” National suicide rates have risen in recent decades, and men in 2021 died by suicide at a rate nearly four times higher than women, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Here’s a problem, none of the above has anything to do with masculinity. It is attended by a bunch of guys who reject their masculinity.
The best time I have is during our football draft. A bunch of men get together and bullshit. We don’t express our feelings and hug while wearing purple tank tops. Because men don’t do that. We never have.
Men have always been the same way in the past and we weren’t killing ourselves. We are now. Why? Maybe that’s what should be looked at.
American men’s isolation stems in large part from a pervasive cultural belief, experts say: that men should be self-reliant and hide their emotions, especially from other men.
Again, we’ve always done that and weren’t killing ourselves. Why are we doing it now? Could it be because the tenants of masculinity have been demonized and the culture to change us to be more like women?
By the way, do you know who loves self-reliance and hiding our emotions under stress? Women. Women want a masculine man they can depend on for support and feel protected. Even the most ferocious feminists believe this.
Such conceptions, though, leave no room for vulnerability, said Mark Greene, founder of Remaking Manhood, a consultancy that works with organizations to help improve men’s professional relationships.
I’m going to give you a little hint about something, this article does not talk about any attack on masculinity. What the writer is doing is saying that certain men are trying to define what old school masculinity is. She doesn’t mention why these men feel the need to do this.
“If a boy expresses too much emotion or too much need for connection, is too giddy, is too joyful, what we say to that boy is, ‘What are you, a sissy? What are you, a girl? What are you, gay?’” Greene said. “It’s your job to dominate those around you, or you will lose status, and that will increase the number of individuals above you who can dish out dominance to you. And what we find is that in that system, in that structure, men are constantly in competition with each other and constantly driven by this sense of anxiety.”
This is a tad exaggerated but it is right. This does happen. It’s socialization. It’s how boys learn to be men. It still happens today except we demonize it and call it bullying. I was a sissy when I was growing up. A couple of unprovoked fights later, a couple I won, from those bullies the Left demonizes and I became the man I am today. A man that is unafraid to protect my family though I have no desire to get into a fight.
Here’s the thing, the “boys will be boys” thing is true. Boys are nothing but a pool of raw, unfiltered masculinity. That’s why boys do what they do, and will continue doing so. Those bullies teach kids how to defend themselves and, in the future, teach them how to defend the ones they love. Bullying is good.
Masculinity is also civilized by the parents, particularly, by the father, who is presumably, masculine. This is part of the problem boys have. Most families don’t have a father and our boys are not being civilized.
They are taught to be less masculine. It’s unnatural for boys to be feminine. Is it any wonder why our boys are committing crimes, including mass murders, are on drugs and are killing themselves?
Niobe Way, a professor of developmental psychology at New York University and the author of “Deep Secrets: Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection,” said many boys are raised with what she called “the cowboy mentality — ‘I can do it myself, I don’t need others,’” often perpetuated by “the father wanting the son to man up and not be so soft. … The whole model of getting help is part of so-called femininity.”
As a result, she said, “Women end up being the therapist for their husband, and more are getting sick of it.”
Niobe Way is a woman. She’s an expert in masculinity??What the hell does she know about masculinity?!
She says women are tired of being therapists for men. Wait, didn’t the article say earlier that men shouldn’t show vulnerability and hide their emotions?? That’s right. Women want masculine men. They want men who can handle themselves. They want men who can deal with their problems without whining to them.
But some men are looking for alternatives, and some are finding them in fellowship organizations with names like EvryMan, the ManKind Project and the Journeymen, the group doing breathwork that night in D.C.
“We have all these groups that are just spontaneously coming into being, as men say, ‘I want a circle of men that I can call my brothers, I want a circle of men that I can express what’s going on for me emotionally, and I want a circle of men who will hold me accountable in positive ways,’” Greene said.
The theme of the Journeymen’s gathering in April, their first in-person meeting in D.C. since the pandemic, was “heartbreak and grief.” As the sky turned cobalt, Williamson implored the men to sense their emotions and “let them flow freely,” to raise their voices and “release them into the darkness.”
Yeah, this is going to turn a woman on. If I told Josie I was going to one of these things, do you know what she’d tell me? Grow up and be a man.
That’s what I’d say. Grow a pair and deal with your issues.
The men yelled, growled and bayed until neighborhood dogs started barking; voices rose to a frenzied pitch, then subsided. Williamson embraced a man who was sobbing. One man hugged himself. Then it was time to sit in a circle and open up. Joshua Cogan, the group’s founder, spoke first.
“People here have gone through a lot in our lives, some in the last few months. As we move through the world as men, sometimes it can be hard to have a sense of that,” he said. “All that which has been unnamed and unfelt, it’s actually been felt, it just hasn’t been dealt with. We put up a stiff arm and won’t let the other guy into our lane of traffic, we don’t want to make eye contact because if we did, we’d have to let him into our lane and show up really differently in the world.”
As a man, he said, “you can sense that there are deeper things that are happening in men’s lives, but when you bring it up the subject is changed. If guys’ lives are a house, they only let you see the living room with the plastic on the furniture. And you’re like, ‘Hey, I’m hearing some baying in the basement.’ But we don’t talk about that.”
Rua Williamson looks like a little girl. He is exactly what a man shouldn’t be.
But a serious question. Do you think a woman would be attracted to men who act like this? I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.
Going around the circle, they began to talk about what lurked in the basement. One had lost his sister a few months earlier. Many talked of fraught or violent relationships with their fathers — or of not having a father around.
“My mom was a single working mom in D.C.,” said Adrian Heizmann-Checa, 45, of Cathedral Heights. “I was scared she was going to get killed. I’m 7, 8, 9 years old, crying, ‘Where the hell is my dad, where the hell is my mom,’ in a basement in Adams Morgan. … So I just [had] to become a self-reliant superhero.”
What a shock. No father. He needs to teach masculinity for himself or learn it from his mother who is not a man!
The article spends the next ten paragraphs on men whining about something. Then it comes to something interesting.
Cogan, now 47, had been working through his own personal difficulties: the end of a previous relationship; his at-times fraught relationship with his father; the bullying he had suffered as a child. Now, he said, he was often the only man his male friends were talking to. “My intuition is that I was modeling openness,” he said. “They saw me talk about my relationship, crying, going to therapy. They saw me as a safe harbor.”
This is not a man. I knew this when I saw him use the word “intuition”.
For many men, he said, “The world isn’t safe. There’s no expectation that a guy in our culture can say, ‘I’m scared, I’ve got fear.’ There’s no expectation that a guy can ask for safety in our culture. A lot of the guys I know, they can’t even do this with their partner.”
Do you know when a boy learns that the world isn’t safe? When they are a boy and get beaten up for the first time by a bully. In sports, when you screw up and don’t make an effort and get shit on be your friends. By one’s father when his wrestles with you in the yard, teaching you how to defend yourself.
I’m not surprise this guy is single. No woman could handle him and his baggage.
But in recent years, Way said, men have witnessed societal movements such as the #MeToo movement and Black Lives Matter, which also challenged old paradigms. “Then covid happens, and we hit the bottom of the barrel on connections,” she noted. “We can’t walk out of our homes. We woke up to see we are a mess, and we’re not having the connections we want, and we’re not actually happy.”
#MeToo, BLM and the other paradigms this gal is talking about have gone out of their way to demonize men and masculinity. That’s what Leftist men have learned. All other men are pushing back against this, including younger men who don’t like this stuff.
A teenager says her supervisor at Chick-fil-A sent her home for having an “unnatural” hair color: Blond.
“I was very embarrassed,” Autumn Williams, 16, of Concord, North Carolina, tells TODAY.com.
According to Williams and her mother Nina Burch, the teen wears her “brownish-blond” or “dark blond” hair in box braids, which Autumn had when she attended her company’s orientation session approximately two months ago. During that session, she says, the only guidance she heard about hair was that it had to be pulled back from her face, which she said is reasonable.
During her July 13 shift at the front counter, Williams said a manager asked to speak with her in private.
“She said, ‘Our supervisor drove by yesterday and noticed blond in your hair and since blond is an unnatural color to you, we have to ask you to take the blond out of your hair and then come back when there’s none,’” says Williams.
“She said, ‘We understand that’s a long process for you so take your time and you can email me when you’re ready to come back,’” adds Williams.
The teen says she panicked.
“It was very stressful — it made me feel like there was something wrong with me and my appearance.”
COVID, COVID, COVID. These people just will not let it go.
The Biden administration has decided to bypass the Supreme Court ruling on student load handouts. So much for the rule of law.
And that damned Constitution keeps allowing Christians to practice their faith.
They Don’t Care About the Rule of Law
According to Fox News:
President Biden’s administration is officially rolling out its SAVE plan on Tuesday, its latest attempt to grant student debt relief after Biden’s more wide-reaching plan failed before the Supreme Court.
Biden announced the plan alongside Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and other members of his administration on Tuesday. Under the SAVE plan, borrowers making roughly $15 an hour will not have to make any payments, while others earning above that amount will save at least $1,000 a year in comparison to other income-driven repayment plans.
“As long as you pay what you owe under this plan, you’ll no longer see your loan balance grow because of unpaid interest. Under the SAVE Plan, monthly payments are based on your income, not your student loan balance,” Biden said in remarks recorded on video and released by the White House.
“The SAVE plan is another huge step forward in President Biden’s tireless efforts to fix the broken student loan system, reduce the burden of student debt on working families, and put borrowers first,” Cardona said in a statement.
Later in the article:
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the new repayment options will cost at least $276 billion.
A federal district court ruled Monday in favor of a Michigan fruit farmer who was ousted from a local farmer’s market after he said he wouldn’t host same-sex weddings at his farm. The decision may signal the end of what has been a six-year legal battle.
Steve Tennes, owner of Country Mill Farms, sued East Lansing in 2017 after officials chose to exclude him from the city’s farmers market. Tennes, a devout Catholic, apparently was targeted by city officials after saying on Facebook that he follows the Catholic Church’s teachings about marriage, including when he participates in weddings at his family’s farm.
On Monday, a U.S. District Court judge for the Western District of Michigan ruled that Tennes and his family were improperly “forced to choose between following their religious beliefs and a government benefit for which they were otherwise qualified.”
The court said the city of East Lansing violated the Tennes’ free exercise rights protected in the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment. “The reason is simple: denying a person an equal share of the rights, benefits, and privileges enjoyed by other citizens because of her faith discourages religious activity,” the ruling states.
A Maine hospital executive involved in diversity, equity and inclusion hosted an antiracist prayer service that had a group of White people apologize for their internalized racism as White people, according to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital.
Ryan Polly is a vice president of DEI at MaineHealth, a hospital system of over 20,000 employees. He has said the hospitals cater to overwhelmingly White patients, which is reflected by local demographics.
Polly refers to himself as a “minister” of a group called One Spirit. According to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital, which has since been scrubbed, Polly is shown teaching attendees how to be practitioners of antiracism through a prayer that he dedicated to “loving spirits who are known by many names.”
The DEI leader’s ideology is steeped in critical race theory. He said during the prayer services that he himself maintains “racist narratives and biases,” and attributed those to his skin color.
“Only then can we become equipped to… challenge the systems that have been designed to give us the advantage and oppress everyone else,” he said about becoming an antiracist practitioner.
“As the head of diversity, equity and inclusion at a major health system, I think frequently about my role as White person first and as a diversity leader second. I think about the responsibility I have to continue the deep internal work of… understanding my own racist narrative and biases,” Polly said. “I think about the privilege my Whiteness affords me and the choices Whiteness allows me to have… My Whiteness keeps me and my family safe.”
MaineHealth defended Polly, stating, “Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion stems from our organizational values, mission and vision. This work strengthens our connections with patients and ultimately helps us to deliver higher-quality care. Consistent with our value of Respect and our role as an institution of learning, we welcome and encourage divergent viewpoints and dialogue among our patients and care team.”
However, Polly’s views on DEI contain outright stereotyping of people on the basis of being White, claiming that they are conditioned to be racist and oppressive.
For example, Polly said that White people acquire “ignorance,” “biases” and “racist thoughts” on the basis of their belonging to a “life of Whiteness.”
“This evening has been designed with White people in mind not to take the stage. We have plenty of places to take the stage,” he said, starting off the prayer. “We [need] to… begin the work to join the fight… We need to ensure we… do the work to challenge our ignorance, our biases and the racist thoughts that we’ve acquired through the life of Whiteness.”
In a portion of the prayer focused on “dismantling the system,” Polly encouraged the White people attending to feel uncomfortable with the messages.
“Let us develop the courage to dive [into] deeply experienced discomfort. Let’s sit with it… knowing that the answers come not from our own conscious thinking because that thinking is shaped by racist constructs. The answers lie deeper,” he said. “Let us leave with the tenacity to become anti-racist and continue the fight, even on the days when we could simply choose not to. Amen.”
Good news! Not everyone thinks this is a good idea and a bunch of executives and stayy think this Polly guy is unhinged.
Surgeons have performed the UK’s first womb transplant, signaling a new future for childbirth.
A 34-year-old woman received a womb from her 40-year-old sister, who has two children of her own.
The recipient was “incredibly happy” and “over the moon” following the nine-hour operation, Isabel Quiroga, a consultant surgeon at the Oxford Transplant Centre, told The Guardian.
The woman, who is married, plans to try to have two children with IVF using the five embryos she had frozen.
She was born with a rare condition that left her womb underdeveloped.
She’ll love, honor, and obey — as long as you’re willing to pay.
For a cool $30,000, a bosomy brunette is assuming the position of “surrogate wife,” selling herself out to married men seeking virtual companionship from a woman who’ll gladly fulfill their most primitive pleasures like “no other woman” willingly would.
“I do tasks that average wives often prefer to avoid — like watching a football match on television without complaining,” bragged bombshell Babi Palomas, 24, from São Paulo, Brazil.
As a surrogate wife, who only offers her saucy services digitally, Palomas, a “digital creator” with more than 111,000 Instagram followers, happily caters to the emotional needs of her woefully wedded patrons when they purchase either her 12-hour or 24-hour packages.
“With one client, I made dinner while [I] accompanied [him] on a call, and we watched movies together,” the social media siren told Jam Press, adding that she never goes to customers’ homes. “We then watched a football match, among other little things.”
Palomas, who also has — of course — an OnlyFans account, said her remote presence means the world to her otherwise hapless habitués.
“[These men] open up to me and tell me about their lives,” the video vixen revealed.
“In these conversations, I realized that many of the men who are married and have families feel lonely,” she continued, noting that the gloomy grooms most appreciate her independence and ability to get down and dirty with messy tasks like changing a tire.
Joe Biden finally decided to go to Hawaii to view the destruction. The people of Hawaii appear not to have wanted him to go. Hearing what he said and how he acted, he probably shouldn’t have gone.
There is no way this guy is running for president again.
Dumbass of the Day
Here is a Gen Zer at a political rally somewhere in Eastern Europe. Can you guess what she’s talking about? Yep, climate change. Here she is, addressing the media in a calm way, using reason and logic to make her argument:
Maui County Mayor Bissen: "I wanted to say how responsive the President has been. He called yesterday. I asked for the help that we needed."
"And within two hours one of his cabinet members called me back to answer my question. So, we've been getting all the help that we need." pic.twitter.com/v8waWEO0qJ

Biden says "Jill and I have a little sense of what it's like to lose a home" and then tells the story of when lightning struck his house in 2004 and says "I almost lost my '67 corvette and my cat."
According to a report from the time, the lighting strike caused "a small fire… pic.twitter.com/V8IBfoZuEW
Finally, we have Jay Insley, the governor of Washington:
Notice everyone who screwed up in Hawaii is a democrat and the federal government is filled with democrats and they all will blame climate change even though it is their own incompetence that created this mess.
Well, bad news, it’s not climate change. You know who says so? The leftist news source That Washington Post. In an article released today, they said:
As scientists weigh the influence climate change may have had in fueling Hawaii’s wildfires, there isn’t one standout factor they point to. Rising temperatures likely contributed to the severity of the blaze in several ways. But global warming could not have driven the fires by itself.
The first part of the article, of course blames climate change. They point out:
Hawaii is 2 degree warmer than 1950, but where were the fires 10 years ago?
They point out that winds were only about 5 MPH faster than usual.
They mention the role of non-climate influences in the intensity of the firestorm, such as the introduction of highly combustible nonnative plants, as well as weather patterns that happen naturally.
Hurricanes are the norm this time of year.
Drought conditions fluctuate with the weather and happen.
There is no direct evidence that climate change had any direct fault for causing this mess.
Of course, climate change didn’t cause this mess. Incompetence caused this mess. But we are being shoveled this climate change nonsense to deflect from that incompetence.
Legendary rock band Queen’s 1978 classic “Fat Bottomed Girls” has become cancel culture’s latest victim after the song was dropped from the band’s new greatest hits collection for younger listeners that debuted on the audio platform Yoto.
Though moving songs to the platform aims to introduce Queen to kids, some are critical of the decision to omit the song from the track list, blasting the move as “woke” or “ridiculous.”
“‘It is the talk of the music industry, nobody can work out why such a good-natured, fun song can’t be acceptable in today’s society,” one music industry professional – whose name was withheld – told U.K. outlet The Daily Mail.
What song today is not inappropriate? Cardi B? Bad Bunny?
Josh Green is in trouble. He is the governor of Hawaii and everything that he is in charge of failed. The emergency system failed. The electrical company failed to shut down the electricity when the winds picked up. The water lines that are used by the fire department didn’t have any water. The overall state response to the fire was a fail.
Now, Green admits that there are over 1000 people are still missing and may never be found because of the intensity of the fire. That goes along with the 111 that are known dead so far. But he came up with a pretty good reason why he and his minions failed:
Things have been really rough for Joe Biden over the summer. His son is getting investigated, He took a week vacation at Camp David, the economy is falling apart, he took a beach vacation for 10 days in Delaware and Ukraine appears to be losing their war after sending $115 billion.
Of course, there is that annoyance of 111 being killed and a 1000 are missing in Maui because of a fire that seems to be more from incompetence than climate change.
So, what does he do to unwind? How about take a vacation to Lake Tahoe, Nevada for a week at Tom Steyers $18 million mansion? Needless to say I got crap because I pointed out that Clarence Thomas is being criticized because a rich friend lent him his boat for a weekend. Some guy pointed out that Joe Biden paid for his stay. I pointed out that he didn’t pay for shit, our taxes did like they paid for his $500 K security system and fence at his Delaware home. Nothing but crickets for a response.
I also pointed out that Donald Trump got crap for playing gold in Florida one weekend a month but not one seems interested that Joe Biden has spent 40% of his presidency on vacation, away from the White House. More crickets.
Biden has been getting a lot of crap for going on vacation with the disaster in Maui. The pundits have been pointing out that he has never visited East Palestine, Ohio after the train wreck and everyone was misplaced. Everyone pointed out that he sent $115 billion to Ukraine but only offered $700 per person in Maui. That’s a total of $1.9 million from the government. There is $6 billion in damage. Pictures of him on the beach in Delaware are being juxtaposed with the devastation on the beaches of Maui. None of this looks good.
The other annoyance for Biden is the response from the federal government. FEMA is just now responding, a week and a half after the fire. The Army’s Corp of Engineers have not been deployed. No money has been sent. Biden and none of his administration has said anything except Biden saying “no comment”.
People are seeing this and they are talking:
MAUI FIRE
Lahaina local questions why President Joe Biden is sending funds to Ukraine while her town has been destroyed and is in crisis. @JoeBiden
Joe Biden decided to head to Hawaii. According to MSN:
He has finally decided to cut his vacation short and go to Maui to visit and check out the scene. I hope he is bringing money or something because, so far, nothing has been sent there to help.
The big problem Biden is having, besides pissing off the Democratic voters of that state, is he’s pissing off climate change cultists. According to MSN:
As President Joe Biden prepares to visit Maui, the Hawaiian island devastated by the deadliest wildfire in U.S. modern history, lawmakers and climate groups are begging the White House to do more to prevent future climate-related disasters.
Their argument: If the latest environmental catastrophe won’t spur the president into action, what will?
The fires, likely sparked by the island’s electric utility and heightened by climate change impacts, swept through the Pacific paradise last week, killing at least 110 people and leaving the famed town of Lahaina smoldering in ruins. As survivors search for missing family members and friends, and a housing crisis unfolds amid the vast destruction, climate activists and members of Congress are urging Biden to declare a national emergency over climate change.
Doesn’t matter that the fire was caused by bad infrastructure, bad forest management, agricultural regulations, non-indigenous plants being used and incompetence, but climate change. Joe Biden could kill the yelling by just pointing all this out. He can’t though.
Maybe He Shouldn’t Trust Hunter
Hunter Biden appears only to be worried about himself and doesn’t care about anyone else including his family. Gee, who would have thunk it?
According to the Daily Wire:
Chris Clark, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, threatened the U.S. attorney investigating his client that if his client was charged in the case, the defense would call President Joe Biden to testify, thus creating a constitutional crisis by pitting the president against his own Department of Justice, POLITICO reported.
The warning came after information had leaked to the news media that federal prosecutors believed they had enough information to charge Hunter Biden for illegally purchasing a firearm despite being a drug addict.
“President Biden now unquestionably would be a fact witness for the defense in any criminal trial,” Clark said in a lengthy letter to prosecutors, later adding: “This of all cases justifies neither the spectacle of a sitting President testifying at a criminal trial nor the potential for a resulting Constitutional crisis.”
The Crisis That Just Keeps Giving
The illegal alien crisis that Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas say is not a big deal is becoming a big deal again. A total of 150,000 illegals crossed and that’s the ones we know about. Don’t forget, those that use that stupid app that Biden created and is being hacked by the cartels allows illegal aliens in the country and that doesn’t count as illegal crossings.
Mayorkas assures us that the Biden administration is doing all they can to stem the tide. Here’s another story that proves it. According to the New York Post:
The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress.
Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” — intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier’s 30-foot-tall panels — hauling in about $2 million.
On Tuesday, GovPlanet netted $154,200 for 729 of the 28-foot-tall hollow beams, sold in five separate lots for an average $212 apiece.
Thirteen more lots are set to be auctioned on Aug. 23 and Aug. 30.
But just last month, as part of its annual defense appropriations package, the Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican-sponsored bill aimed at forcing Biden to stem the worsening migrant crisis at the US-Mexico border by extending the wall.
The Finish It Act will make the feds use those materials on new wall construction — or hand the remaining stock over to states like Texas for use in their own border defense projects.
Now, the Biden administration is rushing to get rid of the wall leftovers before the GOP-led House can pass a matching version of the bill and make it law, critics told The Post.
We know that the Canadian government under Justin Trudeau hates the Catholic church, but would they seriously make up stories to get rid of churches? Of course they would.
According to the Post Millennial:
Chief Derek Nepinak of the Minegoziibe Anishinabe said the excavation of a Catholic church on the site of a former Manitoba school found “no conclusive evidence of human remains.” The lands the church is found on have been referred to as “mass graves” by outlets in the mainstream media.
In a video on social media, Chief Nepinak said that a specialized team of archeologists that work with the police were not able to detect any “evidence of human remains” under the Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church which is the site of a former residential school in Pine Creek.
He said this “should take nothing away from the difficult truths experienced by our families who attended the residential school in Pine Creek.”
This comes after the Catholic Church and the area around it have been implicated in several stories about mass grave sites of the Manitoba nations that used to occupy the area. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau more than once made a point to bring attention to the hoax, and was infamously seen kneeling beside the so-called graves with a teddy bear in his hand.
Of course, Trudeau decided to demonize the church when this crap he made up. There’s a picture of him kneeling while putting flowers on the ground by a hole with a bunch of rocks. He said:
“We understand that over time burial sites may be lost to the natural elements,” he explained in an earlier press release. “But to bury remains under a building suggests a dark and sinister intent that cannot be unaddressed as we expose the truth of what happened in our homeland.”
I wonder if he is going to apologize to the church and the country about that statement. Something tells me he won’t.
