Ballot counting continues and the New York Times has five ways we can deal with the stress.

That great jobs market looks like it finally might begin to be imploding.

And let’s talk sports.

Just Some News

Just a little FYI about the elections from Tuesday:

• Joe Biden took a B-12 shot and decided to do a speech. He was giddy.
  • As I said, he was going to see this as a resounding victory.
  • He called for unity while still saying ultra, super-duper, mega MAGAs are still evil and soul-less.
  • When asked what he’s going to change with his policies, he said nothing.
  • Then he answered questions from pre-selected reporters.
• The red trickle may turn out to be a red high tide if the planets align.
  • With 44 seats still in doubt, Republicans are only 10 seats from the majority. Though they will lose most of those seats, they will make it.
  • Rafael Warnock and Hershel Walker are only half a point from each other and neither reached 50%. There will be a runoff on December 6th.
  • There’s still a chance we may take both houses.
• In a huge bit of news about this election. It looks like Republicans will win the popular vote. That’s the first time I have heard that in my memory.

The New York Times released some advice for all the snow flakes who may become very stressed out if there was a red wave on Tuesday. Needless to say, they got mocked online. I don’t want to mock the Times. They just know their readers.

The advice was sent as a tweet and gave five exercises snow flakes can do before the tears start streaming.

• Try five-finger breathing. Trace the outside of your hand with your pointer finger. When you trace up, breathe in, and when you trace down, breathe out.
• Cool down. Plunge your face into a bowl with ice water for 15 to 30 seconds.
• Move. Even a walk around the block can offer some relief for an uneasy mind.
• Breathe like a baby. Focus on expanding your belly as you breathe, which can send more oxygen to the brain.
• Limit your scrolling. Consider plotting out specific times when you will look for election updates.

My God, help us. Things didn’t go well for me yesterday but I never even considered that I would get so stressed out that I would need to soak my head in ice water.

If someone gets that stressed out over losing an election, they probably shouldn’t be voting. But this is the fear the Democrats have been peddling.

This Is Going to Happen Everywhere

Joe Biden keeps talking about how great the unemployment rate is but it is only a matter of time before it comes down to earth. The tech sector is the first to start laying people off.

According to Daily Wire:

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg dismissed 13% of his company’s workforce on Wednesday as revenues lag and costs increase.

The social media firm’s performance has worsened significantly over the past year as executives began pouring resources into developing the metaverse, an immersive virtual reality that Zuckerberg believes will serve as the next phase of digital communication. Beyond excessive funds devoted toward the project, analysts had criticized Zuckerberg for more than tripling payrolls from 25,000 people to 85,000 people over the past four years.

This is a problem throughout tech. Alphabet, which own Google, has also said they are losing money and may need to layoff soon. Twitter just laid off half their workforce because of the money they’re losing. Here’s something I just thought of: why don’t these guys stop buying foosball tables and cappuccino machines and make these people put in some real work.

Amazon has also shown a decrease in income. I separate them because they have never been known to coddle employees. But people are buying a lot less. Why? Let’s see, could it be, maybe inflation, recession, high gas prices leaving less money, high energy problems and supply chain problems?

The article continues:

In a letter to employees, Zuckerberg announced that he would lay off more than 11,000 staff members and extend the company’s hiring freeze. “In this new environment, we need to become more capital efficient,” he remarked. “We’ve cut costs across our business, including scaling back budgets, reducing perks, and shrinking our real estate footprint. We’re restructuring teams to increase our efficiency. But these measures alone won’t bring our expenses in line with our revenue growth, so I’ve also made the hard decision to let people go.”

Employees will receive 16 weeks of base pay, as well as two additional weeks for each year of service without limit and healthcare coverage for the next six months.

OK, let’s be straight. The tech industry has always rather loose with expenses. Their ideas are expensive and risky. This whole Meta thing Facebook is pushing is running into major problems. But, in a good economy, some these issues are not as pronounced. We don’t have a good economy and the companies, like Facebook and Alphabet, depend on people to spend money on their products and services, which tend to be expensive.

Unlike what Biden has been saying, inflation is real and we are in a recession. I have always said low unemployment is not an indicator of a recession. High unemployment is a result of a recession.

Thank you Thomas Sowell in his book Basic Economics who discusses this.

Interesting Sports Stories

So big news in sports.

• Brittany Griner, the WNBA star who I think might be a man, has been transferred to a “Russian penal colony”.
  • Another name for “Russian penal colony” is forced labor camp or gulag.
  • Her lawyers have no idea where she is. This was a complete surprise.
  • Joe Biden was asked about it and he hopes to come up with a prisoner exchange now that the election is finished.
  • Of course, one of the prisoners Russia wants is a known arms dealer and terrorist. Not sure I have this right but I’m pretty sure a WNBA star, who hates America, is not worth a Russian arms dealer and terrorist.
  • She’s in a country she loves and she doesn’t have to stand for the Nation Anthem. Even LeBron James says she probably doesn’t want to come back. So, she should enjoy.

British tennis has finally handled a huge controversy by doing the right thing.

According to the New York Post:

Wimbledon’s controversial all-white rules are set to be changed after multiple stars flaunted the directives at this year’s Grand Slam.

Players are required to wear clothing that is almost entirely white from the time they enter the arena to the time they leave, but Aussie Nick Kyrgios defied the rules on his way to the final.

My God, who came up with that rule. The horror!

The article continues:

Now, the strict dress code is set to be reconsidered and altered to be more considerate for female players.

Under the current guidelines, the room for movement is minimal with it stating:

“Undergarments that either are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also be completely white except for a single trim of color no wider than one centimeter.”

I have a couple of questions here. Who exactly is the one who measures the strip of color to verify it is one centimeter wide? Has anyone been kicked out of a tournament for wearing colored underwear?

Being the journalist that I claim to be, I had to do some hard, in depth research. The answer is, sort of.

In 2007, a woman named Tatiana Golovin, from France, wore red underwear. She was told to change. She said, “No” and the judges let her play on. But why would they let her wear red underwear?

Let’s read the article:

Female tennis stars spoke out this year over the need for change to the dress code with many skipping menstruating over fears of leaking and staining their white clothing.

Oh. Well, shit. Makes sense. So we will call this another victory for feminism and a slap at the patriarchy.

Bet you thought when I said we were going to talk sports I was going to talk about real sports that people actually watch. Yeah, this isn’t that sophisticated a show.

Not So Bright

I do love true crime. Sometimes there’s a story you just have to analyze.

Like this one. According to Fox 10 in Arizona:

Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the death of an 80-year-old Air Force veteran whose decomposing body was found dismembered in his Phoenix home, according to authorities.

Phoenix police said Thomas Wallace, 58, was being held on $1 million cash bond on suspicion of second-degree murder, concealing a dead body, theft of means of transportation and trafficking in stolen property while Ramona Gonzalez remains jailed on suspicion of fraud and theft.

Sounds like a terrible story. There’s got to be a twist, right? Well there is.

• They found the victim a month later. You can imagine the wonderful bouquets that were wafting from that apartment.
• They found him dead with blood everywhere.
• A woman named Ramona Gonzalez moved in with the victim. She was a drug user.
• She ended up moving out and moving in with a guy named Thomas Wallace.
• Both were caught on video at the room of the victim and they were arrested.

So what is the twist?

The murder weapon was a chainsaw. The two stole tools from the man and pawned them. Including the chainsaw. The chainsaw that wasn’t cleaned. The cops collected the items and they smelled like, you know, rotting body.

I don’t know what’s weirder. These guys sell a chainsaw used in a murder and didn’t bother to clean it or the pawn shop owner who bought a chainsaw filled with blood and flesh but never bother to call the police.

Drugs are a hell of a thing.

This Is Bad But Drag Story Time?

I don’t know what the big deal is about this but here we go.

According to the New York Post:

This kid’s birthday was anything but a bust. 

Parents of a 5-year-old are at the eye of a social media shade storm after taking their tot to Hooters on his big day. 

And while the giddy little boy — in a viral TikTok video with over 6.9 million views — is seen smiling ear to ear while flanked by a band of vivacious waitresses singing “happy birthday,” digital detractors in the post’s comments section angrily fired off jeers at his mother and father for “forcing sexualized stuff” on him. 

I asked Josie what she thought and, surprisingly, she thinks Hooters is actually a family-friendly sports bar. The waitresses don’t wear anything different than they do at other sports bars like Buffalo Wild Wings or The Draft. The difference is Hooters markets their waitresses and their tiny outfits, which aren’t that tiny.

I wouldn’t be upset that she took her five-year-old to Hooters because the waitresses are wearing shorts and tank tops. I would be upset because the food at Hooters sucks.

By the way, these same people that are ripping this parent for taking her kid to a sports bar are probably the same people who have no issues with their kids being read to by a guy in drag.

https://nypost.com/2022/11/09/mom-blasted-for-taking-her-son-to-hooters-for-his-5th-birthday/

Dogs Are Not People

This is a funny story but it really isn’t. These types of attitudes are happening here too. Let’s go through the story.

From the New York Post:

She thinks employers need to throw pet parents a bone.

Mary Rose Madigan, 28, from Sydney, Australia, claims pet owners don’t get enough respect in the workplace, writing in a personal essay that she’s “jealous” of working mothers because of their flexible working schedules.

“Do you need to pick your kids up from day care? Same, my son goes to doggie day care,” Madigan wrote in a first-person essay for News.com.au. “It is also very unaffordable, $42 a day, and it costs extra if I’m late! So, I must go.”

According to Madigan, flexible working hours should be introduced for people with fur babies, and they should be awarded “the same flexibility and understanding as mothers of human children.”

This story bothers me.

Pets are not as important as dogs. Not even close.

https://nypost.com/2022/11/09/why-i-think-dog-moms-deserve-the-same-rights-as-parents/

It’s election day! I voted early and decided to throw out a podcast and a blog entry! That’s because there’s a lot to talk about.

Election Day

Today is election day!

What better way to celebrate the day by having a blood moon. Gee, that’s not an ominous sign.

The blood moon was last night, from 1 AM to about 4 AM. It is when the Earth gets between the sun and the moon and gives the moon a blood red color. Unfortunately, it is raining in San Diego so I never got a chance to see it. I am an astronomy buff. That’s too bad because there won’t be another one until 2025.

Stacey Abrams continues to alienate voters.

it’s been found that a lot of black Georgia voters are voting Republican, especially men. She had a great reason as to why black men aren’t voting for Stacey Abrams:

Stacey Abrams explaining her poll numbers: "Unfortunately, this year, black men have been a very targeted population for misinformation. Not misinformation about what they want but about why they want what they deserve." pic.twitter.com/HhPxK0vVgj

— Zaid Jilani (@ZaidJilani) November 6, 2022

Couple of things:

• In other words black men are so stupid they get fooled by misinformation.
  • Way not to alienate people.
  • Maybe they’re not stupid, maybe they are just not believing Democratic lies anymore.
  • Charlamange the god basically told that to Biden. He asked what have Democrats ever done for the black community. That’s when Biden’s infamous line, “If you vote for Trump, you ain’t black” moment came from.
  • By the way, Republican values (the family, education, religion and law) are far more in tune to the black community than Democratic values.
  • Republicans have just been very bad at messaging.
• Speaking of stupid, what the hell does, “…why they want what they deserve” mean?

In other election news, John Fetterman’s campaign is already starting their election denial BS.

According to Fox News:

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s (D) campaign filed a lawsuit against Pennsylvania election officials on Monday demanding undated or misdated absentee ballots be counted in the midterms.

The decision to sue the Pennsylvania county board of elections comes nearly a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the board to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the Nov. 8 general election that are in undated or incorrectly dated envelopes.

This is why people need to vote in person and not through mail. If you’re too stupid to fill in a ballot correctly or don’t want to make an effort to get to the polling place, you shouldn’t be voting.

This has already been ruled on, it is in the state constitution, it’s going to go nowhere.

But this isn’t the only example of tampering with the system.

According to the Daily Wire:

Indiana election officials removed a Democrat poll worker last week for allegedly pre-selecting Democratic candidates and pressuring citizens to vote for specific candidates.

Beth Sheller, an election administrator for Hamilton County, told Fox News Digital that an inspector report allegedly identified two separate incidents at a polling location in Carmel, Indiana. The incidents may constitute electioneering and election interference by a poll worker named James Zheng.

Zheng has been accused of telling black voters “… not to vote for the racist candidates outside,” according to Chalkboard Review, where officials first identified the accused poll worker.

According to the report, the first incident happened on Thursday evening after the poll worker told a pair of black voters not to vote for pro-parent school board candidates, alleging they were “racist” after encountering a group of education activists outside the polling station.

This is something we need to deal with but not make too big a deal out of. This happens every election but it is not changing elections. There is another video going through the Internet of the same thing happening at another polling place. These people were caught and they were dismissed, story over. I don’t think we should be making a big deal over little things like this.

Am I worried about election tampering, sure. No, I don’t. I don’t think they can pull it off again. If there is another burst pipe or power failure in the middle of the night and suddenly all the results change the next morning, there is going to be an uproar and we will officially be in an autocracy.

Karin Jean Pierre made a statement yesterday that worries me.

KJP: "In modern elections, more and more ballots are being cast in early voting and also by mail. […] We may not know all the winners of elections for a few days. It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. That's how this is supposed to work." pic.twitter.com/fiUQCisHBV

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 7, 2022

That’s when you’re going to start seeing revolution. I think Democrats know that. But, we won’t know until later today.

In essence, this is what needs to be done to secure elections:

• Elections must be done on the day of the election, except for people out of country or military.
• Elections must be done on paper ballots.
• Voting must be done in person, at a polling place.
• A verification process (state identification) must be implemented.
• Ballots must be counted the night of election day/night. We need to know who wins that night.
• There should be exceptions. For examples, some states have runoffs in their constitutions.
• These procedures must be put into the Constitution as an amendment.

Outside of the Constitutional amendment, everything I have mentioned above has been done for a couple of centuries with few problems (yeah, the 2000 election and the election right after the Civil War, but those are exceptions).

Gee, Wonder Why No One Is Talking About This

The violence against politicians has popped its head again. Unfortunately for Democrats, it’s against the Republican gubernatorial candidate for Arizona.

According to Fox 10 News:

Phoenix Police, the FBI and bomb squad units were called after a “suspicious envelope” containing white powder was allegedly sent to the campaign headquarters of Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Arizona governor.

Police say first responders were called at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6 to an office building near 40th Street and Camelback because of “suspicious items,” but did not confirm that it happened at Lake’s headquarters.

Apparently there was also a threatening messages. Since the FBI is involved, we can be pretty sure we will not get any information because this goes against the Democrats narrative of all that right-wind violence.

Yesterday, at a parade celebrating the Houston Astros World Series win, someone threw a full beer at Ted Cruz.

This comes after a Lee Zeldin supporter was joked by a guy who is a Kathy Houkel.

This is after, another House candidate had a bullet shot through her window.

That was after a Marco Rubio was beaten up by four Leftists in Florida.

I’m not including the attempted stabbing of Lee Zeldin and the assassination attempt of Brett Kavanaugh and his family and all of this has happened this year. Democrats only have January 6th and Paul Pelosi.

And the Paul Pelosi thing is falling apart.

Oops. This makes this entire story really weird. Combine that with the police department not releasing the police report, the Pelosi household not releasing the security footage and the District Attorney not releasing the police body cam footage makes all this look really suspicious.

And they wonder why people are coming up with conspiracy theories.

Dumbasses

The drama at Twitter continues.

So there is a new trend on Twitter. It is Leftists that change their user name to Elon Musk and then spouting Leftist crap. Some of them even changed the picture to match his. The Twitter handle will stay the same, that has to be unique. That’s the one that has the “@” in front of it. For example, My Name is Dumbasses Talking Politics Blog but my handle is at @RunninFewl. Because these people have blue checkmarks, it looks like it might be Elon Musk (unless you read the handle, which I did and knew it was fake).

The first person I saw doing this was Valerie Bertinelli. She was married to Eddie Van Halen and did a show called One Day at a Time, which I watched because I thought she was hot. She was called out immediately and she changed her name immediately.

Another one that did it was Kathy Griffin. I never saw it because Kathy Griffin has blocked me (I am proud). She got suspended. She decided to log on to her dead mother’s account and tweet. This is a violation of Twitter’s terms of service. It’s a security thing.

Musk was pissed about it. He said that if there is anyone who impersonates another person, they will be suspended permanently. This brought screams from Leftists. They said they thought that there was suppose to be humor allowed on Twitter. What these people did is one step short of identity theft. They took Musk’s name, posted his picture and spewed Leftist crap. None of it was funny. I don’t want someone impersonating me. And that shit follows you.

Anyway, Mush said Kathy Griffin can get her account back. If she pays $8 a month.

Good for him. He should do this.

There is something he said I did not like.

This scares me about Musk owning Twitter. I’m afraid his talk is just talk. I’m also very well aware he may have made a badly worded tweet here. He has also pointed out how corrupt Twitter is and that’s before he knows what the algorithm.  But I don’t know what his goal is with Twitter.

Does he want Twitter to be the most accurate platform in the world? Who determines what’s accurate? What do you do if you deem a story as inaccurate?

I won’t lie. this sounds like a lot like what happened to the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Or is Elon Musk for free speech? There will be some BS that’s spread. I’ve done it. I have never deleted a tweet. When I was wrong or tricked, I just admitted it and apologized. I never apologized for my beliefs. Just that I pushed something that was wrong.

Here’s the thing: You can’t have free speech and accuracy. The two don’t go together. Elon Musk needs to trust that people will do some research or read article critically. I’m hoping he sees the difference.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/twitter-permanently-bans-kathy-griffin-after-she-impersonated-elon-musk-she-fd-around-and-found-out

The election is coming up and the Dems messaging is rather odd.

Elon Musk starts tearing apart Twitter.

And NPR releases an audio I think will have the opposite effect than they wanted.

A Great Pitch Before the Election

The elections are under way and the Democrats are on full panic mode. The media is doing their best to try to convince Americans to vote Democratic. The big problem is their “best” just ain’t that good.

Here is Sunny Holsten comparing white women to cockroaches because they are voting Republican.

White women voting for Republicans are like roaches voting for raid. If a host said this about anyone other than white people they’d be immediately fired. pic.twitter.com/8H08ml04xu

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) November 3, 2022

Yeah, that’s going to convince women to vote Democratic. Why do Leftists do this? Why don’t they defend their policies? Because all their policies suck and all they can do is insult and pressure those who are voting red.

Here is a “historian”, Michael Beschloss, on MSNBC saying that democracy is going to end and our kids are going to be arrested and killed:

Reacting to Biden's speech, a presidential historian tells MSNBC that we "could be six days away from losing our rule of law" and that we "are on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system" where children will be "arrested and conceivably killed." pic.twitter.com/zJXe7Odrbl

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) November 3, 2022

Let me get this straight, Democrats are for:

• Abortion.
• Kept kids out of school for two years.
• Are for cutting off body parts and giving them hormones because of this trans thing.
• Indoctrinating them into CRT and radical gender theory.
• Hell, Biden abandoned children in Afghanistan. Ten year old girls are being married to old men.

Here’s James Clyburn makes another huge proclamation.

Fear. That’s all the have. It sounds like this is going to be a huge win for Republicans.

But leave it to Joy Reid to say the dumbest thing out there:

So these are the reasons we should vote Democratic:

• The economy is in fine shape.
• We are cockroaches if we vote Republican.
• We will become Nazi Germany.
• And our kids will die.

Great messaging. Wonder why they are going to lose on Tuesday.

Moving Forward

The layoffs have started at Twitter. Elon Musk plans to can 3700 employees out of the 7500 employed.

He sent an E-mail last night. It said:

“In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday. We recognize that this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but this action is unfortunately necessary to ensure the company’s success moving forward.

“Given the nature of our distributed workforce and our desire to inform impacted individuals as quickly as possible, communications for this process will take place via email.

“To help ensure the safety of each employee as well as Twitter systems and customer data, our offices will be temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended. If you are in an office or on your way to an office, please return home. We acknowledge this is an incredibly challenging experience to go through, whether or not you are impacted. Thank you for continuing to adhere to Twitter policies that prohibit you from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere. We are grateful for your contributions to Twitter and for your patience as we move through this process.”

Kind of cold but I understand why he’s doing this. In one of my other jobs, we used to do layoffs like this. It sucks, it seems unfair and mean, but they do need to worry about their data and they need to worry about violence. This does happen.

A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the employees. They say that, under federal law, the employees needed to get 60 days notice before being terminated.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires large companies to notify workers two months in advance of planned job cuts.

According to Shannon Liss-Riordan, the attorney that filed the lawsuit:

“We filed this lawsuit tonight in an attempt to make sure that employees are aware that they should not sign away their rights and that they have an avenue for pursuing their rights.

“We will now see if he is going to continue to thumb his nose at the laws of this country that protect employees. It appears that he’s repeating the same playbook of what he did at Tesla.”

By the way, Musk won that lawsuit. Probably because the company only laid of 10% of its employees. That’s well below the standard which is 33%.

He’s probably going to win this one too. According to WARN’s employer guide, one of the reasons he can do such a mass layoff is for a faltering company. It states:

Faltering company: When, before a plant closing, a company is
actively seeking capital or business and reasonably in good faith
believes that advance notice would preclude its ability to obtain such
capital or business, and this new capital or business would allow the
employer to avoid or postpone a shutdown for a reasonable period…

No one can really argue that Twitter is a struggling company. It has not made money in ages. Musk’s legal team could argue that thy gave notice of a week and they couldn’t wait sixty days to get the company on track. He said as much in his E-mail.

I also am not sure this is valid when the company has been taken over. Musk is the new owner. I am not sure he couldn’t fire everyone especially seeing how volatile the employees are. Chance are this is just a lawyer that wants to make some money through a settlement.

Just Disgusting

National Public Radio (NPR) released an absolutely disgusting audio recording. It is a recording of a woman getting an abortion. The audio is actually about 11 minutes long. It involves the woman being encouraged to get through it by a staff member, the groaning of pain by the patient, the switching on of the suction machine and the completion of the procedure.

It is pretty disgusting and I would suggest avoiding the audio if you have a weak stomach but I think it is important to hear.

I almost didn't want to tweet this but it's something everyone needs to know. NPR on the radio this morning played audio of a woman getting an abortion. You can hear the vacuum turning on, crying, moaning, and the doctor telling her it's done.

Warning: It's tough to listen to. pic.twitter.com/nlSNz0m5Ka

— Greg Price (@greg_price11) November 3, 2022

Believe it of not, this is suppose to be a celebration of abortion. Mind you, we are paying for this with our taxes since NPR is a non-profit supported by government funds.

Some things:

• At 11 weeks, the baby is already formed and the sex can be determined.
• The contrast NPR uses that an abortion is just like a birth. Except you are sticking a vacuum in a woman and sucking the baby out in probably the most brutal ways ever imagined.
• How twisted is it that they celebrate the abortion at the end like parents would celebrate the birth of their child.

This is supposed to support abortion but I think it had the opposite effect. I think it bring up how evil this whole thing is. It’s like an evil ritual that is the opposite and mocks childbirth. I bet that NPR may have figured that out by now especially since this is going viral and for the wrong reason. It actually shows how terrible the process of abortion is.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/npr-airs-audio-of-woman-having-an-abortion

That’s Kind of Sick

Speaking of mocking childbirth.

According to the New York Post:

A 22-year-old woman has opted to get her fallopian tubes extracted from her body and she turned them into a piece of jewelry to tether around her neck.

Savannah Blouin is adamant on not wanting kids and so she underwent an salpingectomy this past July to surgically remove her tubes.

Blouin created a necklace out of her tubes, saying the creation makes her feel “empowered.”

“I had my fallopian tubes [removed] because I’ve always known that I never want to have children,” she told Needtoknow.online recently.

The vegan restaurant waitress felt inspired to make a necklace following the decision to overturn the court case Roe V. Wade. The legal matter protected women’s legal right to have an abortion.

The Connecticut native posted a video on her TikTok, that has since gone viral where she showed how she preserved the “organic matter” in resin to create her neckpiece.

Some things:

• Of course she posted this on TikTok.
• Of course her hair is blue.
• Of course she’s a vegan.
• Of course she has a nose ring and other odd piercings.
• Of course she has tattoos.
• Of course she still wears a mask.

You know there is something that liberals don’t seem to think about when pushing to end child birth is that they are making themselves extinct. Conservatives and religious people actually have lots of kids. So, maybe that’s the silver lining.

There are things happening around the world we should know about but we are always stuck within our little bubble.

Joe Biden is on the campaign trail six days before the election. Turns out he should have stayed home.

And a viral article asks for amnesty from all us conspiracy theorists concerning the China virus when it turns out everything we said is true. Let’s go over it.

News

Here is some news:

According to the Wall Street Journal:

Saudi Arabia has shared intelligence with the U.S. warning of an imminent attack from Iran on targets in the kingdom, putting the American military and others in the Middle East on an elevated alert level, said Saudi and U.S. officials

In response to the warning, Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and several other neighboring states have raised the level of alert for their military forces, the officials said. They didn’t provide more details on the Saudi intelligence.

This Is Not Going Well

With on week left until the election and the candidates, President and former President are on the road to try to gain back some momentum. Here’s the problem they are having, they have to speak. For most of them, this is easier said than done.

Here is John Fetterman on CNN discussing (sort of) inflation with Don Lemon. How Lemon can keep a straight face, I don’t know.

Fetterman is incredibly articulate in his response to Don Lemon's question about the causes of inflation. You gotta hear it to believe it. Pennsylvania deserves a senator that understands the system. pic.twitter.com/UjKToqwdBo

His brain damage is really showing and I do not believe he is helping himself by doing these interviews and appearances. I know he feels the need to do it because Mehmet Oz has caught up with him. Why Oz isn’t beating this guy like a red-headed step child.

But it isn’t just Fetterman who should keep himself in the basement. Joe Biden is also hitting the campaign trail. He cruising all over the country making speeches which is giving me a lot of sound bites because he can’t say words anymore. He did a speech for Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida. People were not excited to hear him as can be heard when he was introduced by Wasserman-Schultz:

Having to get the crowd to cheer for the President of the United States is not a good thing. I can’t think of a worse start. That is until Joe Biden started talking.  He had so many gaffs that Town Hall made a little compilation, so I used that. That’s why you’re going to hear music in the background. It was a good video.

Didn’t take Biden long to show his senility:

This was the start of his speech and he already screwed up. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has never been in the Senate. She’s running for a House seat.

Here he is screwing up the acronym for FEMA:

FEMA stands for Federal Emergence Management Agency. He used just about every word beginning with an “A” except the right one. He should know this since he used it for the hurricane in Florida. What is the name of the hurricane, Joe?

It was Hurricane Ian. Not Ivan, not Ion but Ian.

Biden always needs to bring his dead son in on everything even inflation.

He son served in Iraq but dies of brain cancer in Maryland. He brings up his dead son in almost every speech trying to gin up sympathy. It’s cynical. Notice he never brings up Hunter.

He continues with inflation.

Not partisan enough…Jeez. And, no, we do not have the lowest inflation in the world.

Still more on inflation:

So he’s admitting that there is inflation and we are all affected and…that’s it. At least he didn’t blame anyone for it.

Then he goes off on drug companies but can’t remember what they sell:

He just said, “aspirin” yet he can’t remember what he just said.

How about insulin, Joe?

The guy who invented insulin died in 1935, one year before Biden was born. The guy lies so much and no one fact checks him.

He continues with health care and pulls a Hilary Clinton, switching to a southern accent.

I wonder if he realizes that “boy” is considered a racist term? Probably, but he’s just racist so he doesn’t care.

Finally, to Debbie Wasserman Schultze relief, old decides to close his speech:

You knew that was coming. Damn Republicans need a blessing from God to get smarter. They’re so dumb. Just a reminder that Democrats hold the House, Senate and Presidency.

At least he didn’t blame Trump for the mess he made.

Tonight, Biden has decided to make a speech from the Oval Office. That should be fun.

How About No?

Emily Oster is an economist at Brown University. She wrote an article that has gone extremely viral. It’s called Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty: We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.

Let’s go through it.

In April 2020, with nothing else to do, my family took an enormous number of hikes. We all wore cloth masks that I had made myself. We had a family hand signal, which the person in the front would use if someone was approaching on the trail and we needed to put on our masks.  Once, when another child got too close to my then-4-year-old son on a bridge, he yelled at her “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”

OK, this family already sounds really annoying!

These precautions were totally misguided. In April 2020, no one got the coronavirus from passing someone else hiking. Outdoor transmission was vanishingly rare. Our cloth masks made out of old bandanas wouldn’t have done anything, anyway. But the thing is: We didn’t know.

No, we actually did know. I am not a doctor and I knew masks didn’t work, being outside was the best way not to catch the virus because of the open air and the sun and

I have been reflecting on this lack of knowledge thanks to a class I’m co-teaching at Brown University on COVID. We’ve spent several lectures reliving the first year of the pandemic, discussing the many important choices we had to make under conditions of tremendous uncertainty.

Some of these choices turned out better than others. To take an example close to my own work, there is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high. The latest figures on learning loss are alarming.  But in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.

All the things she’s talking about were talked about three months after the pandemic started. But everyone who said it was banned from social media or ridiculed.

Another example: When the vaccines came out, we lacked definitive data on the relative efficacies of the Johnson & Johnson shot versus the mRNA options from Pfizer and Moderna. The mRNA vaccines have won out. But at the time, many people in public health were either neutral or expressed a J&J preference. This misstep wasn’t nefarious. It was the result of uncertainty.

“Wasn’t nefarious”? The president of international sales said the vaccines were never tested. They lied about the efficacy of vaccines. They lied about the side effects of the vaccines. They lied about the dangers of COVID. They lied about everything.

Obviously some people intended to mislead and made wildly irresponsible claims. Remember when the public-health community had to spend a lot of time and resources urging Americans not to inject themselves with bleach? That was bad. Misinformation was, and remains, a huge problem. But most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.

Nobody said we should inject ourselves with bleach. This is just one of the many lies spread because of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Given the amount of uncertainty, almost every position was taken on every topic. And on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong. In some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons. In other instances, they had a prescient understanding of the available information.

The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat. Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. All of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of social energy and to drive the culture wars, especially on the internet. These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive. In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing. Treating pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others is preventing us from moving forward.

So much here:

• Getting anything right was not lucky. It was common sense from what we know about viruses.
• There wasn’t heated and unpleasant conversations here. People’s lives were ruined because they didn’t tow the party line.
• I was yelled at several times because I wouldn’t wear my mask all the time.
• I was yelled at in the street because I wasn’t wearing a mask while I was running, alone.

We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge. Los Angeles County closed its beaches in summer 2020. Ex post facto, this makes no more sense than my family’s masked hiking trips. But we need to learn from our mistakes and then let them go. We need to forgive the attacks, too. Because I thought schools should reopen and argued that kids as a group were not at high risk, I was called a “teacher killer” and a “génocidaire.” It wasn’t pleasant, but feelings were high. And I certainly don’t need to dissect and rehash that time for the rest of my days.

I call BS here. She sounds like the person that would have kept schools closed.

Moving on is crucial now, because the pandemic created many problems that we still need to solve.

Student test scores have shown historic declines, more so in math than in reading, and more so for students who were disadvantaged at the start. We need to collect data, experiment, and invest. Is high-dosage tutoring more or less cost-effective than extended school years? Why have some states recovered faster than others? We should focus on questions like these, because answering them is how we will help our children recover.

Many people have neglected their health care over the past several years. Notably, routine vaccination rates for children (for measles, pertussis, etc.) are way down. Rather than debating the role that messaging about COVID vaccines had in this decline, we need to put all our energy into bringing these rates back up. Pediatricians and public-health officials will need to work together on community outreach, and politicians will need to consider school mandates.

The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well. Let’s acknowledge that we made complicated choices in the face of deep uncertainty, and then try to work together to build back and move forward.

So, we should grant amnesty to all those people who lied to us over the past two years. To the same people who are still pushing that we are in a pandemic.

Let’s see:

• Old people were left to die alone in old folks homes.
• We hold any funerals.
• People were fired for not getting vaxxed.
• Children were kept out of school for two years, erasing two decades of math and reading progress.
• Children ended up with myocarditis because of the vaccine.
• 2-year-olds were forced to wear masks.
• People lost their businesses.
• Churches were closed.
• We were being censored on social media.
• People were arrested for not wearing masks.
• People couldn’t see their families because restrictions.
• In China and New Zealand, there were actual concentration camps to imprison COVID positive people.

Let’s remember this small piece of propaganda that was being pushed by people like Jimmie Kimmel:

Never forget. pic.twitter.com/G7YSDTX4QX

They wanted us to die. Now they want amnesty?

I also want to point one more thing out. In that article, notice something is missing? They want forgiveness but I still have yet to hear an apology. That seems to be missing from this article.

So, amnesty to the people that have been peddling misinformation about COVID?

F-you! They’ll get some forgiveness when I see people in jail over this.

I have to rant about something.

It’s Halloween time which means it’s time to ban costumes.

And Elon Musk arrives at the Twitter headquarters and there are plenty of cries and gnashing of teeth.

The Rant

One of my grandchildren is being tested for ADHD. He’s one year old.

Let me tell you what’s going to happen:

• He’s going to take the test.
• He’s going to found to have ADHD.
• They’re going to put him on Ritalin.
• He’s going to end up a slobbering zombie.

Leave the kids alone!

Kamalaisms

We cannot go a day with stupid things being said by the White House.

Here is Joe Biden talking about the economy and he just goes off on the size of airplane seats and how it hurts the poor and black people.

You have to give the guy a break. He’s old and senile and probably isn’t going to be President much longer.

Luckily, we have Kamala Harris waiting in the wings and she loves yellow school buses!

God help us.

Luckily, she did say something far more intelligent a little later in her speech.

I lied. This was a stupid statement too.

Yes, that’s why are kids are dumb. Diesel fueled buses.

Tis the Season

It’s Halloween next week which means we have to start banning Halloween costumes. Fox News released an article on the hot new costumes that are going to be banned. Let’s go over them.

• The Jeffry Dahmer costume.
  • Ever since the release of “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” viewers of the MA-rated drama streaming on Netflix have been able to “portray” the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer by purchasing lookalike costumes on eBay and through other online marketplaces.
  • eBay banned sales of Dahmer “costumes” and/or accessories this week.
  • “These items are banned on eBay and are being removed under our ‘Violence and Violent Criminal Policy,’” an eBay spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Wednesday in an emailed statement.
  • Simone Biles tweeted: im just gon go head and say it, put the jeffrey dahmer costumes back in the closet. we ain’t having it!!!!!!
• “Squid Game” costumes were said to be popular after the show’s release on Netflix, according to several reports.
  • The Fayetteville-Manlius School District, located in central New York State, added the costumes to the list of prohibited costumes, since some students were said to be playing their own version of “Squid Game” on the playground.
• In 2016 the creepy clown craze had retailers such as Target pulling clown masks from its 1,800 stores and online shopping site.
  • That same year, New Haven Public School District in New Haven, Connecticut, banned clown costumes and any “symbols of terror” amid Halloween.
• Social media users and activists sounded off in 2020 after a costume called the “WW2 Evacuee Girl Costume” went on sale.
  • Some people on Twitter called it an “Anne Frank costume.”
  • Alexandra DeVitt, a spokesperson for the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect based in New York, referred to the costume as “offensive” and said that it “trivializes her suffering.”
  • The costume is not that bad. It is a typical German child’s clothing from the time period mad up of a green dress, a beret and a purse. If they changed the name it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.
  • Target has pulled the costume but it is available on eBay and Amazon.
• And, of course, anything that culturally appropriating or insensitive including:
  • Geisha costumes.
  • Indian costumes.
  • Sexy Handmaid’s Tales costumes.
  •  Will Smith/Chris Rock slap costumes (especially if you’re white).
  • Queen Elizabeth costumes (too soon).
  • Transphobic costumes.
  • Monkey pox costumes.
  • Body shaming costumes.

So, happy Halloween!

The Takeover

Elon Musk is about to take over Twitter. Probably tomorrow.

He decided to go to the corporate headquarters and he did it in style. He was filmed, walking into the lobby, holding a bathroom sink. Not kidding. When he got closer to the camera, he said, “Let that sink in,” and laughed. He also changed his Twitter profile to “Chief Twit”.

This guy is the ultimate troll. That’s worth $250 billion!

Well, he’s there for a reason. He’s going to can 75% of the company. Facebook is thrilled about it because they are recruiting all the former Twitter employees. Not sure that’s a great idea. Twitter hasn’t made a profit in ten years.

Of course, the Left is flipping out.

Juliette Kayyem tweeted:

Cruel? Really?

I don’t know who this broad is but she’s a blue check on Twitter. I’m hoping I can become a blue check on Twitter that no one knows.

The New York Times and Washington Post is bashing Musk for allowing free speech.

Elon Musk wrote a letter to advertisers:

I wanted to reach out personally to share my motivation in acquiring Twitter. There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.

In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized extremes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost.

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it because it would be easy. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

That said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences! In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature.

I also very much believe that advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform you; it can show you a service or product or medical treatment that you never knew existed, but is right for you. For this to be true, it is essential to show Twitter users advertising that is as relevant as possible to their needs. Low relevancy ads are spam, but highly relevant ads are actually content!

Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows your enterprise. To everyone who has partnered with us, I thank you. Let us build something extraordinary together.

Reality Always Wins

Reality always wins. Ideology will always lose in the end, no matter how much we scream about it. The climate “crisis” is an example of reality winning over ideology.

A German wind farm is being dismantled because there is a coal mine that needs to be expanded. Why? Because wind has a 25% efficiency and coal has a 90% efficiency. Winter is coming. It’s going to get cold, like 10 degrees. And Germany, listening to a 16-year-old, mentally deficient girl from Sweden, has cut off all other energy supplies and people are going to need heat to, you know, survive.

Reality always wins.

This Isn’t Free Speech

This story really bothers me because no one is talking about it.

According to Fox News:

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) recently overturned the ruling of a French court that had fined and issued a jail sentence to a feminist who interrupted a Roman Catholic church service and “aborted” Jesus on the altar while topless.

Eloïse Bouton was bare-breasted and painted in pro-choice slogans all over her body when, in December 2013, she interrupted Christmas carols at Paris’ famous Madeleine church and protested the Catholic Church’s teachings against abortion by simulating an abortion of Jesus.

Wearing a crown of thorns to mock Jesus Christ and a blue veil to deride the Virgin Mary, Bouton carried pieces of ox livers to symbolize an aborted baby as she stood in front of the church altar and pretended to perform an “abortion” before urinating on the ground in front of the congregants.

I just want to point out this is completely evil. The article continues:

Written on Bouton’s body at the time was the French phrase “344 salope,” which translates to “344th slut,” in reference to an open letter of 343 French women who admitted to having an abortion in 1971.

The Ukrainian group Femen, which Bouton used to be a member of, later celebrated the act on social media, writing “Christmas is canceled!” and that “the holy mother Eloïse has just aborted the embryo of Jesus on the altar of the Madeleine.”

The church’s priest filed a legal complaint against Bouton, who was found guilty by a French court of an unlawful “sexual display.” She was sentenced to more than a month in prison and ordered to pay the church €2,000, a punishment France’s highest court upheld.

There are some things that really bother me about this story:

• Globalism. They have taken sovereignty from countries.
• This is definitely a crime. I get the free speech thing, but this isn’t free speech.
• The attack on religion. Globalism needs to eliminate religion so the global government become God.
• Finally, abortion is a religion and it is, literally, satanic.

What a Shock

https://nypost.com/2022/10/24/sacheen-littlefeathers-sisters-claim-she-wasnt-native-american/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow

A verdict is reached in the Darrell Brooks murder trial.

John Fetterman debated Mehmet Oz for Senator of Pennsylvania and it turns out to be a disaster.

And it turns keeping kids out of schools for two years was a bad idea.

A Verdict is Reached!

Darrell Brooks, the 40-year-old Milwaukee man accused of plowing a Ford Escape SUV through a Christmas parade in nearby Waukesha last year, has been found guilty of all charges. Those charges include:

• First degree intentional Homicide – 6 counts.
• First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety – 61
• Hit and Run – 6
• Bail-jumping – 2
• Battery – 1

I watched a lot of this trial and it was just weird.

• Brooks decided to defend himself.
• He was thrown out of the court about seven times.
• He objected to every question.
• He argued that he was being charged by the state so he could not face his accuser.
• He refused to wear his suit.
• At one point, while in another courtroom because he was removed, he started stripping.
• He refused to acknowledge his name.

The next stage will be the penalty phase. There is no death penalty in Wisconsin so he will spend the rest of his life in prison. This is the kind of guy that emphasizes why we need the death penalty.

How is This Even Close?

There were a bunch of debates. The one I did watch was between Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman. I thought this one would be the most entertaining because Fetterman is about as close to a walking vegetable as one can get.

I was right. The debate was entertaining.

Here, Fetterman is being asked about his stance on fracking.

My lord, this may be the saddest moment I've ever seen on a debate stage. pic.twitter.com/4mSKqirry9

— Andrew Surabian (@Surabees) October 26, 2022

Some things:

• This is just a lie. He’s always been against fracking and has said it multiple times.
• Notice the pause? He has an auditory processing issue. He read the question from a monitor and still couldn’t process an answer.
• Does this sound like a guy who should be in the Senate?

Here he is being asked about raising minimum wage to $15.

But it gets better. He was asked about why he was not paying his taxes. Basically because he was living off his rich parents well into his forties. But his none answer is funny.

Finally, here’s his closing statement.

This is John Fetterman’s closing statement.

OH. MY. GOOD. LORD. pic.twitter.com/8RVeli6EaT

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) October 26, 2022

That was the most understandable statement he made all night. It was that bad. During the entire campaign, anyone who pointed out that this guy has brain damage and should not be running for Senate is called an ablest. But that performance was so bad, even media can’t dig this guy out.

What’s amazing is this Fetterman has been talking like this every time he speaks and the race is still close. Mehmet Oz is that bad a candidate. I think Oz is going to win, but it is way too close for comfort.

So It Wasn’t a Good Idea

I guess shutting down schools for two years for a modified cold wasn’t a good idea.

According to the Daily Wire:

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is administered to fourth and eighth graders every few years, allowing for a comparison of reading and math proficiency by state between 2019 — just before the pandemic — and 2022. The decline in math scores was the sharpest ever since the test began in 1990, and the average math scores were the lowest since 2005. The average eighth grade reading score was the lowest since 1998.

Some things:

• 43 of the 50 states have had math scores drop.
• The map at the top of this article shows how badly the number of fourth-graders who scored at least “basic” in reading fell compared to before the pandemic in each state.
  • Basic is the lowest of the three tiers — basic, proficient, and advanced — and those who do not have even basic reading skills by fourth grade are at risk of serious problems when it comes to employment and higher education later in life.

Look at the maps for a better understanding.

Everything is Racist!

I was i Mexico this weekend and had some time to read the Washington Post editorial page. Wow, they really went out of their way this weekend. Amber Ferguson wrote an opinion piece called America has a Black sperm donor shortage. Black women are paying the price. I have to say, these people amaze me on what they can call racism.

This is a rather long article but I think you’ll get the idea in short order. Let’s get on with it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/10/20/black-sperm-donors/
