Interesting…

…since Dr. King was fighting southern Democrats – not Republicans – over their racist policies. Seems that this leftist ideologue is blaming the wrong political party:

Spice company that called Republicans racist begs for gift card purchases after losing customers

Here an overview:

Earlier this month, Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey renamed the extended Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to be “Republicans are racist weekend” in a newsletter to customers. In the letter, he said his aim was to anger Republicans in honor of the late civil rights icon.

How the left has managed to take the racist segregationist movement led by southern Democrats and associate it with Republicans is a marketing coup worthy of study. It should be taught in MBA graduate programs everywhere (maybe it is…).

Something from the “WTF?!?” bin

What – did you really think that criminals would not figure out how to game the system? Dream on!

This offender (reported as a biological male) did not identify as a female until they were in custody. As a result of their new-found identity – and DA George Gascon’s absurd policies – for molesting a 10 year old girl this offender will be sentenced to two years in a juvenile detention facility for girls. Really; you can’t make this stuff up!

California trans child molester, 26, gets 2 years in juvenile facility thanks to progressive DA Gascon

Here are the highlights:

Because Tubbs began identifying as female after she was taken into custody, and Gascon refused to try her as an adult, Tubbs was sentenced to two years in a juvenile facility.  In L.A. County, juvenile facilities can house both females and males, but in separate areas. Tubbs will be housed with the females. 

Two years is the maximum sentence for any juvenile in the new program over the age of 25, according to Deputy District Attorney Shea Sanna.

So I say again: WTF?!?

China’s gonna kick our ass…

I have been watching a documentary on Amazon entitled “China’s New Silk Road”. In it a man’s 11 year old son is watching an English presentation of a mathematics course. He’s learning about the chain rule for calculus.

He’s learning calculus at 11 years of age.

We can’t even get our union public school teachers to show up for class; they’d rather work remote – maskless from a beach in Florida – while trying to get 12th graders to pass a 10th grade test so that they can graduate high school.

Enough is enough. Screw the “voting rights” (aka “Democrats Forever”) bill; pass a bill granting universal school choice instead. Let’s give the teacher’s union some competition so that we can RAISE the bar rather than lowering it.

And we’d better act soon. If not, let’s at least start teaching Mandarin and Cantonese in our public schools so that our students are prepared to be good little communist slaves to their new overlords.

But, wait…

When Trump said this regarding COVID-related changes to election law he was labeled a liar and a quack; but when a Democrats say the same thing it’s accepted as fact?

White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond claimed that the midterm elections could be illegitimate, saying in a recent interview that election laws in GOP-led states would allow “people to subvert” the 2022 election results.

I particularly like this little tidbit from the same article:

“I think what the president was doing was raising the issue and highlighting that a lot of these bills that are being passed around the country by Republican legislatures on party-line votes could pose a problem in the 2022 election…

But a bill passed by the Democrats on a party-line vote – like their “voting rights” bill – that’s fine, right?

Hypocrites!

NPR credibility = 0 (and falling)

Even after Sotomayor and Gorsuch released a statement calling NPR’s report “false”,  even after it was refuted by the Chief Justice himself, NPR is sticking to their story. Their claim?

“No one has challenged the broader focus of Totenberg’s original story, which asserts that the justices in general are not getting along well. The controversy over the anecdotal lead, which was intended to be illustrative, has overwhelmed the uncontested premise of the story.”

I’ve two point to make here:

1) In their statement responding to NPR’s story, Sotomayor and Gorsuch specifically said:

“While we may sometimes disagree about the law, we are warm colleagues and friends,” the statement read. 

That sounds like a pretty clear challenge to the story line “…the justices in general are not getting along well.” Uncontested premise? I don’t think so…

2) Anecdotal leads meant to be illustrative must be demonstrably true. That the facts – as supplied by firsthand participants rather than Totenberg’s vague, unidentified “sources” – are of little concern to NPR should be of grave concern to their readers.

By continuing to stand by this story, NPR has shown its true colors: that of a political propagandist; a tool of the administration for sowing dissent. They should be treated as such, and their work given little if any credence.

Hubris

So why don’t they just accept less money and pay their workers more? Or keep their money and let the free market system eventually work things out?

Over 100 millionaires call for higher taxes worldwide: ‘Tax us now’

It’s because with money these people have power. With money they can control politicians; and by allowing some small portion of their wealth to be redistributed by the government, the politicians can exert control over the people through dependence. Thus, money gives these people power over you – if you let them.

The hubris of demanding they be taxed more – that you become more dependent on them, their money, and the politicians who redistribute it – rather than simply taking less and allowing you to gain independence exposes their true goal.

Voting rights my a##…

The left’s continued push to pass the “voting rights” bill (H.R. 1) with only the barest majority in the Senate – and that only with the assistance of the Vice President to break a tie – should be concerning to most Americans. Why the push to federalize our elections, and what do they hope to gain? Why is their legislation hell-bent on eliminating voter ID laws when 75 to 80% of Americans are for them? Will the contents of this bill be so beneficial to future Democratic campaigns that they would be willing to risk the use of another “nuclear option”, given how poorly these have worked out for them in the past? Let’s take a look at H.R. 1 and see if we can answer some of these questions. Because it’s an 886 page behemoth, we’ll only be looking at the portion of the bill associated with voting “rights”.

Grasping at straws

A couple of interesting headlines and article excerpts that make me wonder if the far-left hasn’t completely lost it’s mind and is grasping at straws to stay relevant:

CNN analyst compares ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ to rhetoric from ISIS, Nazis, KKK
Constitutionally-protected speech criticizing the administration is racist rhetoric? Or is it only because they are criticizing this administration?

DeSantis’ Democrat challenger compares him to Hitler: ‘In a lot of ways’
 Hitler? Really? These claims of every successful opposition politician being a clone of Hitler are getting old…

“If we can’t push through voting rights, we’re going to see a slide towards authoritarianism.”
But federalizing elections isn’t authoritarian?

CNN’s Paul Begala: Democrats don’t have ‘bad leaders,’ they have ‘bad followers’
Typical socialist claim: It’s not the rulers who’ve failed; it’s that the ruled are not pure enough to execute the ruler’s will without question. Isn’t that what every failed socialist/communist regime claims?

President Biden: “Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?”
And we’re all supposed to forget the fact that George Wallace, Bull Conner and Jefferson Davis were all…. Democrats? WTF?

Seriously?

I guess they can’t claim January 6th was about an attempted government takeover without charges of an attempted government takeover:

DOJ charges Oath Keepers founder, 10 others with seditious conspiracy related to Jan. 6 riot

But seriously – I don’t care what these idiots said between themselves via private chat messages. Does anyone really believe that by crashing the Capital a group (let alone these morons) could actually overthrow the government of the United States? And if that is indeed possible then we have bigger problems than January 6th.

The truth is that these idiots were protesting their government – a constitutionally-protected activity – and things got out of hand. But it is simply not reasonable to believe that their riot could or was meant to overthrow the government. To charge them such serves no purpose other than political grandstanding by the current administration.
