Post by: WLJ on December 17, 2020, 09:20:43 PM
They're coming in too hard and fast now

For example

Quote
   Sex designations on birth certificates offer no clinical utility, and they can be harmful for intersex and transgender people. Moving such designations below the line of demarcation would not compromise the birth certificate’s public health function but could avoid harm.

Guess they'll be calling to outlaw gender reveal parties next because of how traumatizing they are to the baby.  :facepalm:

One can only hope.

In Ohio some *expletive deleted*ing judge just ruled the trannies can legally change the sex on their birth certificates.  We truly live in the mirror universe now.

I'm confused. It's okay now for parents to encourage doctors to give Tommy hormones so he'll grow up thinking he's Tomasina ...

But if sumdood goes to his clergyman because he's conflicted about his sexuality and the clergyman uses words to help the dude wrap his head around the fact that he's a he ... that's abuse.

Does that about sum it up?

Media cross-examination of the president is now an out-of-date idea. The time for gotcha questions has come and gone. Why ask a president whether he is a traitor or a crook when you can focus on his favorite flavor of milkshake or compliment him on his socks?...

I just thought it was a funny (or sad) meme.

The last time I saw him on TV was at Ma's, it was a blurb about dreamers path to citizenship. I didn't notice whether there has been any unnatural enhancement.

The only attention I pay to Jenner is disqualifying anyone in politics or the media that refers to him as a her... Hannity and the rest of FOX, the Republican Party and I think even Trump, I'm looking at you.

Biological sex is not a social construct, so referring to him as a her is propagating a lie.

Thinking about this:  There is little suggestion to reform the oligarchy capitalism we have today.  Now they not only want to exploit young people at work, but also exploit them outside of work.  No mention of strip clubs?  And no mention of doing anything toward the future to get out of the exploited position. 

Better suggestion might be to tell them to look for business/investment opportunities on the side.  Look for ways to build income separate from their primary job.  It wasn't at the forefront of my thinking when I was younger.  Wish it had been.

A few years ago there was an article about a woman in Germany who was told by the unemployment office to consider sex work (which is legal there I believe).
I think you're right about what's legal there - I saw a "sex store" tucked in among the other businesses when transiting the Frankfurt airport. Not sure exactly what they were selling - probably porn & toys of some type.

But in any case, it's not 1945 any more - today there ARE things going around that a shot of penicillin won't cure.  :facepalm:

So men are only allowed in there in the Summer when it's empty? Then I guess when their toilets back up, they'll have to just live with it for the school year. I don't think there is a big population of trans plumbers for them to call on.

I actually like to see stuff like this. They should spread the word to all the lgtbqx2f7sts people - don't call any "cisgendered" men to fix stuff for you.

We had a crossdresser mechanic working at the main branch. I say had because he got sent to company paid training for our OEM and decided it was a fine opportunity to come down the hotel elevator in his “I’m feeling pretty” outfit. He got a quick lesson in the fact that when on company time or company trips you are one of the faces of the company when he was fired immediately upon his return to work. You don’t do that *expletive deleted*it in blue collar work.

1.  That is some serious mental illness.  How thin skinned do you have to be that you are bothered that someone might be around who is different from you?  I wonder if it is deliberate since they know they might just find out the "different" person is an okay person and not some oppressive monster. 

2.  The one comment noted that this person has set up things in their own mind such that the blue collar working man is the oppressor and the spoiled rich kid is the oppressed.  I wonder if that is part of the mental illness.  The oppressed are the good guys in their mind so they have to define things so they are in one of those groups.

Uh oh - they think the installers MIGHT be cisgendered men? Without even meeting the workers, aren't they applying racist/genderist stereotypes to other people based on the work they do? This is an odious mindset, and calls for mandatory remedial diversity & inclusion training.

Yeah, I don't get why an assistant secretary needs to be a four star. Or part of that uniformed service at all. I think the Surgeon General is normally just a three star. An assistant secretary is likely higher than the surgeon general (I didn't look at their org chart), but it should be a civilian position, IMO.

From the Wiki Universe.

[quote[ If the appointee is also a serving uniformed officer of the commissioned corps, by statute, he or she is appointed as a four-star admiral and is the highest ranking officer in the commissioned corps,[1][2] as no other position in the Public Health Service is designated as a four-star office. The president may also nominate a civilian appointee to also be appointed a direct commission in the commissioned corps if the nominee so chooses.[/quote]

I don't know if he was already in the USPHS but it doesn't seem to matter, the President can give a direct appointment for guy. To me this smacks of posturing by the new Admiral and the Administration, like in look at how woke we are the other side would never allow this.

Not sure that would make any sense, either, except in that woke racism kind of way.

In any case, they told us their pronouns, which makes them sound like idiots, especially since they already stated their gender. So the other odd things they say are just to be expected. Odd that she mentioned she has long hair (which is fairly common for white chicks), but he made no mention of his much more unusual haircut. But, hey, at least we know their ancestors immigrated to the U.S. from the Caucasus. That's kind of interesting.  ;/

Manhattan’s new district attorney will seek incarceration only for homicide, some violent felonies, and white-collar crime

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/manhattan-da-orders-prosecutors-to-stop-pursuing-prison-sentences-for-many-criminal-cases

Quote
Alvin Bragg's office will "not seek a carceral sentence" except in cases of homicide, domestic violence felonies, corruption, and some sex crimes, according to a Monday memo Bragg sent to staff.
"This rule may be excepted only in extraordinary circumstances based on a holistic analysis of the facts, criminal history, victim's input (particularly in cases of violence or trauma), and any other information available," the memo read.

I wonder if failure to appear in court will be an offense to pursue prison time?

From the link above:
Armed robbers who use guns or other deadly weapons to stick up stores and other businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there’s no “genuine risk of physical harm” to anyone. Armed robbery, a class B felony, would typically be punishable by a maximum of 25 years in prison, while petty larceny subjects offenders to up to 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.

There's also a more insidious implication there.  You can use deadly force to stop an armed robbery.  Do the same thing for petty larceny and you'll go to prison for a very long time. (the robber will go free)

I wonder when was the last time they actually gave someone 25 years for armed robbery when no one was hurt.  I am thinking that is just used as a threat to get agreement on a plea deal.

The most notable changes include the green M&M's redesign, which will exchange the white heeled go-go boots she was given in 1997 for "cool, laid-back sneakers to reflect her effortless confidence." Mars had received criticism for the green M&M's sexy characterization. The green M&M will also be "better represented to reflect confidence and empowerment, as a strong female, and known for much more than her boots."

Well, that's not very woke.

The writer seems to be missing some crucial (for candy-related cartoon ads) context about the green M&M. The green M&M is sexy because of the myth that green M&Ms are an aphrodisiac. If that myth is no longer current, then lose the sexy look because of that, not because of any put-on social concern.

Just happened to come across this while researching the folk song Greensleeves

Quote
Lyrical interpretation
   Wikisource has lyrics for the song:
Greensleeves
A possible interpretation of the lyrics is that Lady Green Sleeves was a promiscuous young woman, perhaps even a prostitute.[7] At the time, the word "green" had sexual connotations, most notably in the phrase "a green gown", a reference to the grass stains on a woman's dress from engaging in sexual intercourse outdoors.[8]

An alternative explanation is that Lady Green Sleeves was, through her costume, incorrectly assumed to be sexually promiscuous. Her "discourteous" rejection of the singer's advances supports the contention that she is not.[8]

In Nevill Coghill's translation of The Canterbury Tales,[9] he explains that "green [for Chaucer’s age] was the colour of lightness in love. This is echoed in 'Greensleeves is my delight' and elsewhere."

It is possible it was something that was just never talked about (among boys at least), but I don't remember the school providing that stuff when I was a kid.  People complain the schools are trying to take over parenting, but it seems a lot of people are fine with that when it comes to feeding the kids and buying "supplies" for them.

A sick Louisiana teacher has pleaded guilty to giving her students cupcakes laced with her husband’s sperm.

Cynthia Perkins, 36, admitted to a slew of disturbing sex crimes, including child pornography, second-degree rape and mingling of harmful substances, when she took a plea deal in Livingston on Monday.

Yeah but as Ben asked why would a billionaire even want this appointment?
Honestly, I think these billionaires have other people managing all their money (China?) and have little to do.  So they look for things to enhance their image and brag about at their parties.  That means political office, charitable activities, political activism, prestigious appointments.  I doubt most involve doing much of anything.

Big difference between tranny and queer. I can tolerate either in the world just don’t force me to call it normal because 3% of something is not a norm.

She talks about getting contacted by a 3rd party offering "chat" services.  They would supply people to chat with onlyfans subscribers (she isn't on onlyfans).  So people who think they are interacting directly with the woman they are giving money to are actually messaging with some contractor.  From what I have seen, the goal is to establish a personal connection to the people to rope them into continuing subscription and giving more money.  It seems a lot of people take it a bit too far.

No excuses. Not like a 30 second Google search wasn't a possibility. That, and it was probably an Amazon purchase where the buyer had seen a picture of the flag when they bought it.

The Union flag can most definitely be flown upside down.

Something tells me that you're not using an upside down flag to send a distress signal over a significant distance, so its really a moot point no matter what flag is being used.

Beatty used flag signals at the Battle of Jutland, only the distance (5 nautical miles) and atmospheric conditions, including smoke from his own ships, made the flag signals unreadable to some parts of his squadron and it resulted in the scattering of Beatty's forces and effectively neutralized his 5th battle squadron at a critical juncture of the battle.

Ralph Seymour.

Seymour didn't have... a very good grasp of how to prepare signals for clarity of intent -- not just flag signals, either, but also wireless and searchlight signals.

What happened at Jutland was a different matter, however. The signals were standard course change signals, which had a very definitive format with no "wiggle room" for interpretation, but were delivered by flag when conditions dictated they should have been delivered by either wireless or by searchlight.

Which he used, in part, to cover up his many mistakes and failings at Jutland. It's also very interesting how Beatty began to turn on Seymour after the war when in depth analyses began to show just what a jackwad Beatty had been.

The problem with Winston Churchill's quote about Jellico is that it should have been directed at Beatty. But, Churchill loved Beatty because they were very much alike personality wise, while Jellico was, by nature, reserved and cautious and slow to act until he had fully assessed the situation.

Scientists, gender law scholars and philosophers of biology said Jackson’s response was commendable, though perhaps misleading. It’s useful, they say, that Jackson suggested science could help answer Blackburn’s question, but they note that a competent biologist would not be able to offer a definitive answer either. Scientists agree there is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman, and with billions of women on the planet, there is much variation.

Four call-ins are planned for this year. Potential offenders are called in to ask them to change their lifestyle and accept services and life coaches designed to help them do that.

I would assume the "potential offenders" have previous felony convictions, and wouldn't be allowed to own guns. So probably the second option. But again, the guns they may or may not have should not be the issue.

So potential offenders will be "called in" to talk to the cops?

Unless they're on parole and coming in when called is a condition of their parole, I only see people coming in when the police call if they've been stuffed into the back of a patrol car wearing cuffs. And then they'll be repeating the mantra "LAWYER! LAWYER! LAWYER!."

I'm sure we'd find a way to blame it on white supremacy, and denial of trans rights.

Ralph Seymour.

Seymour didn't have... a very good grasp of how to prepare signals for clarity of intent -- not just flag signals, either, but also wireless and searchlight signals.

What happened at Jutland was a different matter, however. The signals were standard course change signals, which had a very definitive format with no "wiggle room" for interpretation, but were delivered by flag when conditions dictated they should have been delivered by either wireless or by searchlight.

Quote from: From Above Link
A California city is planning to give universal basic income (UBI) to transgender and nonbinary residents regardless of their earnings level.

Transgender residents in Palm Springs, California are eligible to receive a UBI of up to $900 per month solely for identifying as transgender or nonbinary — no strings attached.

The new pilot program will have $200,000 set aside for allocation after a unanimous vote by the Palm Springs City Council last week.

I just want to go back to the days when the earth was flat, the sky was blue, water was wet, two plus two equaled four, and if I dug a deep hole in my back yard I'd come out in China.

Life was so simple then.

    Puberty blockers (temporary, reversible) are more benign than going through a puberty that can’t be undone.

    A transgender novelist has come under fire after penning a self-confessed “depraved psychosexual horrorshow” in which J.K. Rowling is burned alive in her home.

    Gretchen Felker-Martin’s debut novel, “Manhunt,” follows two trans women “attempting to survive in a world ravaged by a plague which transforms anyone with enough testosterone in their system into a shrieking monstrosity.”

    They find themselves at war with “TERFs,” the derogatory acronym for so-called trans-exclusionary radical feminists — including the “Knights of J.K. Rowling.”

    The protagonists then talk about “the Harry Potter lady,” referring to Rowling, 56, who has received death threats for her comments about biological sex and the transgender community.

    The “Harry Potter lady … ended up being a crazy TERF, like, super intense,” Felker-Martin’s character said, saying Rowling hired military contractors and “had them all up at her castle in Scotland.”

Many years ago there was a similar incident in Pennsylvania, young female victim, older neighbor, not relative, girl maybe 12 or 13, boy not much older.

Girl disappears, they find her body a few days later.

Neighbor kid is arrested, all sorts of hearings and tests to determine if he's competent to stand trial, if he's going to be tried as an adult...

He's judged competent, is tried as an adult.

Defense is painting a pretty effective involuntary manslaughter defense , but it all sort of falls apart when the kid's on the stand and says something very much along the lines "she was a slut and she deserved it."

Supposedly he actually had some sympathy from the jury before that. After that they came back with a second degree murder conviction.

A group of kids "transitioned" the way kids used to decide to wear the same style of tennis shoes (and the next year decided to wear another style).

Middle schoolers accused of sexual harassment by school district:

https://www.wbay.com/2022/05/12/parents-want-kiel-boys-cleared-sexual-harassment-accusations/

I sympathize with the parents. I would be absolutely furious if I got a letter stating my kid sexually harassed someone (expecting some kind of inappropriate physical contact, and what did I do wrong raising my kid?) only to find out they are being accused of this because they used the wrong *expletive deleted*ing pronoun. School districts like this need big lawsuits against them.

Also, this Title IX stuff needs to be nuked.

All hail the.. King? Queen? Kueen? I give up.

Quote
A Jeffersonville teenager is going viral for serving “sequined realness” as he was crowned king at his prom.

“Your 2022 prom king is… Cristian Hernandez!” called the DJ in a moment caught by several smartphone cameras.

In the videos, from a line of tuxedo-clad young men, 18-year-old Hernandez saunters out to a red carpet, dressed in a black sequined gown, blond wig, and immaculate makeup. He then claims the crown of Jeffersonville High School.

The outfit took him five hours to complete before the big dance.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin Tuesday warning of a "heightened threat environment" over the next several months as they monitor both risks of domestic terrorism and foreign adversaries looking to sow discord within the U.S. to promote acts of violence.

"The United States remains in a heightened threat environment, as noted in the previous Bulletin, and several recent attacks have highlighted the dynamic and complex nature of the threat environment," DHS said in a new bulletin from the National Terrorism Advisory System.

"In the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high-profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets," DHS said.

"Conservative" media has been more effective and has a more dedicated listener/viewer base.  These people consider Fox News to be conservative and Fox has been leading the news ratings by a lot as leftists don't watch their own side's news.  Leftists dominate most other TV news and most all newspapers, but a lot of that is "old media".  Were it not for the active suppression by youtube/google, I think conservative leaning channels online would be dominating, if the are not anyway. 

BUT, that is looking at results not looking at what the left controls as far as media which is considerable.  If many of them weren't such hard left communists, they would probably be doing better.

Another thing to consider is that A LOT of "local" news media, while not coming off as left-leaning, are filled with AP, Reuters, etc. stories rather than local reporting on issues. They thus become de facto left-biased. The bigger local and state print news where I live seem to almost have more AP stories than local stories. And the ABC, CBS, and NBC news affiliates pretty much verbatim report on national news however their corporate owners tell them to.

In fact, this kind of internal combat between old school managers and younger, woke employees is happening everywhere in the progressive advocacy space. He spoke to several leaders of these left-wing organizations, most of whom spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity of the issue. One claimed this was now how 90% of executives’ time was being spent.

“So much energy has been devoted to the internal strife and internal bull***t that it’s had a real impact on the ability for groups to deliver,” said one organization leader who departed his position. “It’s been huge, particularly over the last year and a half or so, the ability for groups to focus on their mission

Not all of them.  I don't consider SS welfare, as citizens are forced to pay into the system before drawing out.  Same with medicare..  I would also eliminate all ag subsidies, so in my fantasy farmers would be unaffected.  Unfortunately, the mil would be effected, along with less useful gov employees.

You are right it would be unpopular.  Letting people vote themselves massive amounts of free money is always very popular.  Hence, our obscene debt.  What is it now, a quarter of a million per taxpayer?

People on the take shouldn't be able to vote themselves more money.

I've thought that perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if a person's vote was weighted by the taxes that person actually paid. Seniors who  saw a big drop in income at retirement could probably continue with whatever their last full year of "pre-retirement" taxes were. People on the dole - no vote. Illegal aliens - no vote. Billionaires using loopholes - reduced vote in accordance with reduced personal taxes paid.

The big problem - too much record keeping, so much it might do away with the secret ballot. Not to mention hacking.

I don't support the idea of disenfranchising those on welfare, but every time the idea comes up, APS insists on twisting it into something it's obviously not. It's idiotic, not to mention it's insulting to members of the military. Military pay and benefits are not welfare, nor a handout; and maybe if you equate the two, you should voluntarily refrain from voting, or commenting on the internet.

You are misrepresenting what I said.  I didn't say members of the military are on welfare.  I said all government employees should not be allowed to vote, in addition to people on welfare.  I would prefer members of the military vote, and just disenfranchise other gov employees (most of which are leftists) but feel the need to be consistent and strip them all of the vote... though I would make an exception, and not take the vote from draftees for obvious reasons.

Voting is not an enumerated constitutional right.  Most states had limited franchise of some sort in the beginning.  There should be no right to vote for people who voluntarily make a living from the government.  Most government employees vote leftist, to give themselves more money and power.  We have millions of these.  They are screwing the country.

If you think this is a bad idea, that is fine.

I'm okay with this; Basic conflict of interest exists for all of them.  Only the uniformed services and emergency services ameliorate this conflict of interest by voluntarily risking their lives for the benefit of others.

Uncompensated welfare and/or a low risk government paycheck should be disqualifiers for exercise of franchise.  And it would be completely Constitutional.

I'm willing to add the Operations Directorate to the list.  But your selection of an enlisted accountant shows an ignorance of modern war; there are no rear lines and support personnel get killed all the time (I was a Navy intel weenie and I nearly ate a 107mm rocket in Afghanistan, how's that for an oddball combination?).

Of course there does remain the distinction of indentured servitude: you can't just quit an enlistment or commission as you could any other emergency or life risking services.  I'm still mulling this part.

Maybe direct your efforts to the whole electoral college mess, which currently weights the moron vote to the states with more morons. One state, one vote would alleviate that, and fall in line with at least one definition of a confederated republic.

Bullet point summation, no hairs.

You don't vote if:
- you are collecting welfare (uncompensated money you did nothing to earn)
- you are a government employee in an empirically nonhazardous occupation.

Those two are the largest of the conflicts of interest.  As a concession I would make it no voting for any government employees at all for any year they collected a government paycheck, just to prevent future weaseling and scamming.

All other constitutional amendments concerning vote still apply.

As per the articles and amendments the States still choose how to qualify franchise.  This arrangement could be enacted by a state legislature now if they so choose.

Limited franchise was the norm in the early USA.  It isn't a police state or totalitarianism.  Early America was not a totalitarian police state.

There was absolutely no mention of any sort of right to vote in the original constitution.  This does not make it a totalitarian document.  There is still no right to vote for all citizens, as you mentioned you believe should be the only qualification.  States are still allowed to limit franchise except using certain categories (sex and a few others).  Many states ban felons from voting, and rightfully so.  Citizens under 18 cannot vote. 

There is nothing inappropriate about limiting the vote to people without a financial conflict of interest.  Getting a government job, or getting on welfare is voluntary; no would would be required to give up their vote.

Our government should not be controlled by people on welfare or government employee's unions.  This a road to financial ruin.  Which is pretty much exactly the road we are on now.

There was absolutely no mention of any sort of right to vote in the original constitution.  This does not make it a totalitarian document.  There is still no right to vote for all citizens, as you mentioned you believe should be the only qualification.  States are still allowed to limit franchise except using certain categories (sex and a few others).  Many states ban felons from voting, and rightfully so.  Citizens under 18 cannot vote. 

There is nothing inappropriate about limiting the vote to people without a financial conflict of interest.  Getting a government job, or getting on welfare is voluntary; no would would be required to give up their vote.

Our government should not be controlled by people on welfare or government employee's unions.  This a road to financial ruin.  Which is pretty much exactly the road we are on now.

The 14th amendment may be invoked in many such cases.

Sadly, no. It's just mind-boggling though, that they will always jump the gun like this from one lone rando complaining, as long as the rando is a lefty. If the rando is a righty, the response is, "Sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you should shop somewhere else." That response should be standard for both left and right randos, IMO.

Harris Teeter is a traditionally Southern chain. I believe that it was formed in the Carolinas in the 1920s.

I suspect that this is going to do them some harm in their historical areas of operation. At least I hope so.

In fact, it looks as if it is having some patriotic lashback.

Got curious and apparently it goes back a ways
According to wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spivak_pronoun

Quote
The Spivak pronouns are a set of gender-neutral pronouns in English promulgated on the virtual community LambdaMOO based on pronouns used by American mathematician Michael Spivak. Though not in widespread use, they have been employed in writing for gender-neutral language by those who wish to avoid the standard terms "he/she" or singular they.

Three variants of the Spivak pronouns are in use, Rogers (1890), Elverson (1975), and LambdaMOO (1991), highlighted in the declension table below.

Quite a bit more in the article.

Quote
Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree,
Discussing things as they are said to be
Said one to the others, "Now listen, you two,
There’s a certain rumor that can’t be true,
That man descended from our noble race,
The very idea is a great disgrace!

“No monkey has ever deserted his wife,
Starved her babies, and ruined her life.
And you’ve never known a mother monk,
To leave her babies with others to bunk,
Or pass them on from one to the other ,
Till they scarcely know who is their mother.

“And another thing you'll never see,
A monk build a fence 'round a coconut tree,
And let the coconuts go to waste,
Forbidding all other monks to taste.
Why, if I put a fence around this tree,
Starvation would force you to steal from me.

“Here’s another thing a monkey won’t do -
Go out at night and get in a stew,
Or use a gun or club or knife
To take some other monkey’s life.
Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss,
But brother, he didn’t descend from us!”

Well, Perd... the author of that poem never worked a zoo.  One of our chimps had a baby that she was not taking care of.  To get the baby away from her, the keepers offered to trade her baby for a piece of fruit.  She accepted.

Are you talking chimps chimps, or human chimps?

I've never seen much different between the two species.

Virtually every behavior extant in humans is mirrored in chimps, and vice versa.

During Butler's preliminary hearing, however, the man carrying his baby didn't appear in court. Due to the lack of appearance, charges against Butler were dismissed.
The victim didn't show.  How is that the government's fault?  The government arrested the guy, hauled him in front of a judge, and then the victim didn't do their part.

The only time I was on a jury the victim (alleged domestic) didn't show and they had to cancel the trial.  The judge said they sent deputies after the victim to bring her in, found her at a store but she ran from them.  I guess he ended up issuing a warrant for her.

Depends on the strength of the case, I guess.  Sure, they can show that he intentionally pointed a gun at a guy who didn't appear to deserve it, but if the victim doesn't show up they might not be confident that they can prove without a reasonable doubt that there weren't other factors.  Maybe the gun-pointer could claim self defense or that he thought the baby-carrier was kidnapping or whatever. 

But more to the point, if in a case like this the victim doesn't even want to do the bare minimum to move the case forward, I don't think it is reasonable to use that to justify vigilantism or assign blame to the government.

His rationale was "The physiognomy of a baby doll represents what the person buying it considers to be precious. And a decision to gift a White doll to our daughter — who’s already aware of the ceaseless cultural proselytization of Eurocentric beauty — could communicate to her that we value those features more than hers."

Makes me think he should only let his daughter have fat, non-white, differently-abled dolls to more effectively thwart the dominant cultural understanding of beauty.

Quote
At around 7:50 p.m. on October 4, 2019, she was standing outside a house in Mesquite that was on fire watching it burn. She told one of the responding police officers that she was responsible for the fire and she would not give more information until she could speak to singer and actor Chris Brown, who she falsely claimed to be her husband. She was arrested. The Dallas County District Attorney’s office later rejected the arson case because of a lack of scientific evidence.

In September 2020, a person applied to a court for an order protecting themselves from her but a judge denied the application.

On April 25, 2021, she was staying at a hotel at Towne Crossing in Mesquite and was refused an extension to her stay so she became upset and pulled the fire alarm in front of the clerk. She was arrested and gave the address of Brown’s mansion in Tarzana although they do not know each other....

At around 11:00 a.m. on July 25, 2022, she was dropped off at Dallas Love Field airport in Dallas, Texas. She went inside the bathroom, came out wearing a hoodie, pulled out a gun at the airport, aimed it toward the ceiling and fired several times. A responding officer shot her in the lower body so she was hospitalized. She was the only person injured.

Quote
“Amid a rise in hate crimes and discrimination against people of Asian descent, usage of ‘Asian’ in the name of a pest insect can unintentionally bolster anti-Asian sentiment,” the Entomological Society of American said in a press released.

While most people colloquially call the bugs “murder hornets,” the association said it feared the stigma attacked to the hornets’ scientific name could led to future violence.
Quote
“Northern giant hornet is both scientifically accurate and easy to understand, and it avoids evoking fear or discrimination.”

Has anyone heard someone call them "Asian Murder Hornets" in casual conversation?  I have only heard people say "murder hornets".  The idea that they came from Asia or Japan originally is just attached trivia.  These people must be incredible hateful and think everyone is just like them.

It's too early in the morning for this insanity

Quote
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is recommending gender-neutral terminology for U.S. hospitals to use when discussing lactation.

The gender-inclusive terms include "chestfeeding" and "human milk feeding" for the act of breastfeeding, while the document suggests breast milk can be called “human milk,” “parent’s milk,” or even “father’s milk.”

"Father's Milk"  :facepalm:

Quote
“Language has power,” said Laura Kair, medical director of well newborn care at UC Davis Children’s Hospital, who served on the task force behind the statement. “The language that we use should be as inclusive as possible when discussing infant feeding. When working with patients it is best to ask them their affirmed terminology. When communicating medical research, language should accurately reflect the population studied so as not to mask research needs.”

Yeah, that is pretty much what they do.  Don't forget the old "hockey stick" graph that seemed to show that temperatures were all normal and steady before that.  Turned out later it was a fraud.

We have "Go back to California" signs all over the place here, but everyone is still friendly, no matter what state's license plate you have. I wave at every car I pass in my rural area regardless of the license plate, partially because people were doing that to me when I was still exploring with a CA plate.

So five minutes ago we were told that gender (I.e. “woman”) is different than sex (I.e. “female”), and while sex is fixed by genetics, gender is a social construct completely separate from sex.

Then two minutes ago, proponents of the above started making “accidental” mistakes like saying that Dr. Levine is the first “female” four star officer in the US military.

Now sex is also fluid?

My days of not taking these people seriously are coming to a middle.

"Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'" the presentation states. "Use words that include all genders​: ‘Folks’ or ‘Y’all’ instead of ‘guys’; ‘partner’ vs. ‘boyfriend or girlfriend.’"

"Not ‘Colorblind’ or ‘I don’t see color,’ but Color Conscious," it adds. "We see Color/Patterns AND VALUE people for their uniqueness."

"If you are a cisgender woman, a transgender woman, non-binary, agender, bigender, two-spirit, demigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, or another form of gender minority, this program is for you," the application states.

Now Latinx is suddenly not Inclusive enough because.....

Quote
If a term is truly inclusive, it gives equitable weight to vastly diverse experiences and knowledge; it is not meant to be a blanket identity.

Women of color, in general, are severely underrepresented in leadership positions and STEM fields. Using "Latinx" for women further obscures their contributions and identity. I have even seen some academics try to get around the nebulous nature of Latinx by writing "Latinx mothers" or "Latinx women" instead of "Latinas."

It's like watching a dog chase it's tail watching them trying not to offend each other.

"It's like watching a dog chase it's tail watching them trying not to offend each other. "

I was actually thinking it's like a dog chasing its tail, catching its tail, and biting its tail hard enough that it hurts itself. And then chases its tail all over again to catch it and punish it for hurting itself...

I think it is designed to make language (spoken or written) more difficult, and really just frightening. And when it's hard to speak or write, it's hard to think.

Just yesterday, I had a male customer trying to look feminine, with eye shadow and some kind of tube top or sports bra under his unbuttoned maintenance uniform shirt. You just don't want to talk to someone like that, because you'll inevitably use some sex-specific word, and that might give him an excuse to use legal action against you, or just complain to your boss, or whatever.

If we go back to the beginning of left-wing speech and thought control, it goes back at least as far as minority-advocacy groups trying to change ethnonyms from "negro" or "colored" to "African-American." Or from "Hispanic" to "Mexican-American," or whatever the case may be. Part of the dynamic, not often discussed, is to establish that they (the Left) is in charge of the language, and you're accountable to them.

My first thought is for blackmail purposes: especially if the records contained sensitive information about sex, drugs, or mental health issues.  Secondarily, to an enemy power, it may useful to know if someone who might be facing you on the battlefield or diplomatic conference room has something like cancer, and therefore may have a limited life expectancy or cognitive issues.  Look at all the surmising here about Biden's and Putin's health and impact on their decision-making capability.

My first thought is for blackmail purposes: especially if the records contained sensitive information about sex, drugs, or mental health issues.  Secondarily, to an enemy power, it may useful to know if someone who might be facing you on the battlefield or diplomatic conference room has something like cancer, and therefore may have a limited life expectancy or cognitive issues.

It was never much of an issue while Reagan was in office at least publicly. The Bush people who were around him leaked some stuff but he passed his physical with no problems. This was at the end of his second term.

Having Bush as VP stopped cold any real progress Reagan could have made against Clown World. The Bushes and Clintons more or less are the ones who let the clowns out of the clown car. I never liked HW Bush and he was there to control Reagan IMO.

A gang of six women wearing neon green bodysuits beat and robbed two 19-year-old women on a New York City subway early Sunday in a bizarre caught-on-video attack.

The incident happened around 2 a.m. on a Times Square subway train, police said.

Video posted online shows the six women aboard the train fighting with some passengers. At least one woman can be seen repeatedly punching a victim in her face while another appears to wrap her leg around a second victim and drag her to the floor.

The parts of Eastern Oregon that I frequent are more conservative than much of Western Idaho. Hence the push by like half of Oregon counties to become part of Idaho.

Sadly, those once red holdout areas in CA you're referring to are becoming either smaller and smaller or more and more purple.

"Children Can Know They're Trans 'From the Womb"
In other words they can't start grooming them early enough

Quote
In a now-deleted video, a Boston hospital says that although most kids know they are transgender around the age of puberty, many know well before being born.

“So most of the patients we have in the clinic know their gender, usually around the age of puberty. But a good portion of children do know as early as seemingly - from the womb,” the video says, adding “and they will usually express their gender identity as very young children, some as soon as they can talk... kids know very, very early.”

The hospital is also facing heat after being accused of rushing under-18-year-olds into life-altering sex change surgery.

Her mistake was opening the door when the police knocked.  (and I'm pretty sure they did need a warrant; maybe 2 warrants -- a search warrant and an arrest warrant)  But this was in UK, and maybe centuries of common law doesn't apply there anymore.

The children learned a valuable lesson here; do not trust the police.  If you're in trouble and there's nowhere else to turn, maybe go to them and hope for the best, but you're generally better off on your own.

This is very believable.  Britain has no free speech.  The cops will happily arrest you for saying something mean about Islam, etc.

They arrested a man for publicly quoting Churchill on Islam:

Sure it's believable. That's the best brand of bullshit.  Bullshit that affirms your reader's preconceptions, and fits as "Possible". And maybe it went down exactly as this lady describes.  Like I said, we don't know.

I'm just pointing out that "article" provided zero evidence, and zero reporting except the victim's own thought out words on Twitter. That should make everyone suspicious that we don't have the details.

If we were leftists we could carry on that even if it's a lie, it's "raising awareness of the issue."

"It is the heterosexism of it all"

Quote
"There are so many words and phrases that are off limits, it’s hard to keep track," Dr. Phil explained in a monologue opening the segment. "For example, some say ‘peanut gallery’ is now classist and racist, 'first world problem' is also classist, ‘tone-deaf’ is ableist, ‘mom and dad’ assumes traditional gender roles… seriously?"

Dr. Phil then showed a graphic of numerous words or phrases some people now deem too offensive for public use.

One audience member named LaTalya agreed with "mom and dad" appearing on the list. She explained, "I have a daughter with another woman, and when its being taught in school that ‘Oh that’s just the norm’ that it’s just ‘mom and dad,’ it just offends us, because we are lesbians, you know what I mean? We come from the community and it makes us feel like we’re not important enough to be called 'mom and mom' or ‘parents.’"

Quote
Executive director of the USC Race and Equity Center Shaun Harper commented, "It is the heterosexism of it all," and then went on to suggest that the phrase "mom and dad" is not "canceled," but "what we’re missing here is the opportunity to be decidedly and deliberately inclusive of all parents."

I can't imaging taking a young child to something like that. What are these parents thinking?

I wonder if this wasn't inevitable, once we tried to "rationalize" our views about sex. We thought we could strip away those old, fuddy-duddy taboos; but still keep a barrier against pedophilia, incest, rape. As long as it's "consenting adults."

Then we heard rumblings of normalizing pedophiles, calling them "minor-attracted persons." Now, they're demonizing anyone who objects to making children the audience for drag shows. Or who objects to "transitioning" minors.

So far, the taboo against pedophilia seems mostly intact (mostly), and it's still illegal to rape people. How long until we find ourselves at the bottom of those slippery slopes?

The nihilists, libertarians and modern NPCs have been free riding on the stability of our formerly "Christian" culture up till now.

We've long since abandoned organizing society around transcendent values and God. We are starting to see and reap the fruit of disconnecting from reality. It's a brave new world, take a pill. Rejecting reality is called freedom now, we are currently financing peace in Ukraine and believing the media narrative makes us stronger.

So I saw near the beginning of this trans craziness that a lot of gays were calling it out, and now it seems even drag queens are saying that this grooming is getting out of hand.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/drag-queen-kitty-demure-walk-out-performance-kids-attendance

I will note and agree with one of the things the above interviewed drag queen said: Much of the blame for this stuff lies not on the trans people, but on the same group of white liberal heterosexuals that push BLM crap because they hate themselves for being white.

That's been going on for a long time, with the rainbow agenda stuff. A lot of conservatives seem to forget that the LGBT letter people are such a small fraction of the population, they couldn't change much of anything by themselves. Which is unfortunate, because it means any anger or resentment on our side of things is going to be focused on the wrong group.

I heard some of these nonsensical rumblings a year or two ago. Black racialists have apparently been butt-hurt for some time over what the AP calls a "loophole" in the amendment that banned slavery. The "loophole" is just some language that clarifies that the amendment is about slavery, not prison labor.

Typical left wing "logic," but then the Hot Air writer thinks there's something wrong with the amendment.  :facepalm: Stupid all around.

I should hope that is the case with most New Yorkers.  Imagine the chaos if most New Yorkers went to their commute with the intent to start fights and commit crime?  I know this is BS he is feeding the media but it makes you wonder what he thinks crime is.  I guess it fits with some leftists who think every normal person is a potential criminal in the right circumstances.

That brand of racism goes back at least as far as those ominous reports about the suspicious whiteness of the Tea Parties.

On the other hand, it really just means whites tend to have a more patriotic and enlightened politics.

Tyree Moorehead was fairly well known in Baltimore for his protests against “gun violence,” which included spray painting “No Shoot Zones” at hundreds of crime scenes across the city. The 46-year old, who served 20 years in prison for a drug-related murder when he was 15, was himself shot and killed last weekend; not at the hands of any drug dealer or gang member, but by Baltimore police officers who responded to a call about a man armed with a knife who was attacking a woman.

Being trans can get you $1,200 a month in San Francisco

Quote
Mayor London Breed announced the launch of a new guaranteed income program for San Francisco’s trans community. The Guaranteed Income for Trans People program will provide low-income transgender San Franciscans with $1,200 each month, for up to 18 months, to help address financial insecurity within trans communities, Breed revealed Wednesday.

San Francisco's transgender guaranteed income program application provides over 130 gender, sexuality and pronoun options, and encouraging enrollees to "check all that apply."

Quote
Pronoun options on the application include "Zie/zim/zis," "Fae/faer/faers" and "Tey/ter/ters."

Under the gender identity category, applicants can choose from options like "Aggressive (AG)," which is an "identity label claimed by some African-American and Latin@ masculine of center lesbians," according to the University of Florida LGBTQ+ Affairs office.

"Genderf---" is another option in the gender identity category, which is "the idea of playing with ‘gender cues’ to purposely confuse stereotypical gender expressions, usually through clothing." according to the University of Connecticut Rainbow Center. Another option is "Two-spirit," which is an "identity label used within many American Indian and Canadian First Nations indigenous groups to describe an individual that possesses both 'masculine' and 'feminine' spirits." according to the University of Florida.

Other gender identity options included "Feminine-of-center," "Demigirl," "Boi," "Tomboy," "Khanith/Xanith" and "Ninauposkitzipxpe."

All trans people have to have a serial number and it is illegal to remove it. 
Any doctor performing trans surgery must get a special surgical license. 
Trans people getting full surgery must register themselves and get a tax stamp (before the surgery). 

I am sure this person has no idea what gun laws exist.  The gun laws sound extra useless and silly in that context.

When traveling by air, they're not allowed within the passenger compartment of an airplane, they have to be in a locked case in the baggage compartment. In many states, they have to be cased in the trunk or rearmost portion of a vehicle. In Texas, they're not allowed in schools, the secure area of an airport, or anyplace that makes 51% of its business by sale of alcohol for on-site consumption. (i.e., most bars.) In some jurisdictions, they cannot be in bright colors. When not in the custody of a non-trans adult, they have to be locked away and inaccessible to minors.

    Jesus could have been transgender, according to a University of Cambridge dean.

    Dr Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said such a view was “legitimate” after a row over a sermon by a Cambridge research student that claimed Christ had a “trans body”, The Telegraph can disclose.

    The “truly shocking” address at last Sunday’s evensong at Trinity College chapel, saw Joshua Heath, a junior research fellow, display Renaissance and Medieval paintings of the crucifixion that depicted a side wound that the guest preacher likened to a vagina.

    Worshippers told The Telegraph they were left “in tears” and felt excluded from the church, with one shouting “heresy” at the Dean upon leaving.

This is truly one of the most egregious examples of educational malfeasance I've heard of. Preventing students from even applying for certain college scholarships by hiding their achievements is actually damaging, and in addition to being summarily fired, the person who did it OUGHT to be held PERSONALLY liable for damages - financial damages.

What a difference from when I was in high school back in the early '70s when a couple of us became National Merit semi-finalists by scoring above 200 on the PSAT. (I understand scoring has changed since then.) The senior assistant principal came to our class (I remember it was English class) to congratulate us as soon as the info came in. We both got our formal Finalist  "attaboys" later on after qualifying on the SAT, and several students got "Commended" recognition as well during the monthly school assembly.

In the "blind hog -> acorn" category, he's not 100% wrong that between Hallmark movies, stupid happy shows, Social Media "influencers", and whatever the *expletive deleted*ck they play on the radio if one were to consume very much media it could feel like an avalanche of saccharine sweet fake cheer.

Asking Twitter for help with your mental health is never a good idea though, so he's back to blind there.

George Santos: first openly trans-electable member of Congress.

https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/12/27/george-santos-okay-i-lied-about-almost-everything-n520147

Quote
Long Island Rep.-elect George Santos came clean to The Post on Monday, admitting that he lied on the campaign trail about his education and work experience — but insisting that the controversy won’t deter him from serving out his two-year term in Congress.

Santos identified as having a job history and educational credentials that cisnormative transphobes in the press say he doesn't really have. Also, he was married to a woman until a couple of years ago, but now says he's homosexual. (Then again, maybe he or his "wife" identified as another gender at the time.)

All of these things made him more electable in 2022. He is trans-electable, and the haters just can't deal.

I wonder if we (the US, not APS) might have a discussion on the role leniency towards the CSA played in Reconstruction and the latter half of the 19th Century, and whether that attitude still help the goals of healing the rift in the country.

From everything I have read on the subject Gen Lee* was an honorable man that faced a hard choice between his oath and his home state, and did the best he could. But he did choose to betray his oath to the United States.  Certainly the civil war, and the officers that had to make that choice should not be forgotten from history,  indeed they are one of most teachable moments in this country's martial history. We should be able to calmly discuss the nuances of the situation and what led good men** to the wrong choice.

I fear however we have lost the ability as a society to have important conversations like that.

*Indeed, even that rank is possibly a mistake. He was a US Army Colonel,  and did not make General until post treason.

** Some good men.  There were certainly dishonorable officers there too. Forrest comes to mind. They are teachable for other reasons.

Gen. Lee was not a traitor.  He resigned from the US Army.  His state left the Union.  He was no longer a citizen of the United States, and thus could not betray it.  He was a citizen of the CSA.  He could no more be a traitor to the USA than a citizen of Spain.

Gen. Lee was no more of a traitor than General Washington, who was a former British officer.  Both fought for the independence of their countries after they succeeded from the mother country.  If Lee was a traitor, so was Washington.

I do not agree with much of the reason the CSA was formed (the expansion of slavery), but I do support the right of succession in general.  I have never seen anything in the Constitution that forbids it.  The Right of Succession is another safeguard against an abusive central government.... or at least it would be, if it had not been killed.  If sections the country are unable to get along with the rest, they should be able to leave.  Forcing them to stay in perpetuity is tyrannical.

Yeah, I can agree with that.

It should be noted that Gen Lee did not agree the Constitution allowed for secession. at least in 1861. 

In any case, both Washington and Lee were rebels and traitors against their government.  In Washington's case he won, so he could claim to be a citizen of the USA afterwards, but the same is untrue of the Confederates.  It takes nothing from either man to be honest about their rebellion against their governments.

It might be an interesting discussion to talk about the various Oaths Officers have taken through the years, and how one could get out of it.

The difference between a traitor and non-traitor is not whether you win or lose, it is weather you are a citizen of the country you are fighting against.  Because the CSA lost the war, it does not mean it did not exist.

I do not believe that to be the case.  The US didn't strip him of citizenship until after Appomattox,  and I have never seen any evidence that he renounced it.

Indeed, whether the CSA was actually a nation was the whole point of the war, one that would seem to have been answered in the negative.

I don't think it can honestly be argued that the army of the CSA was not in open rebellion against the United States. If you are rebelling against your government,  you are committing treason.

The CSA wasn't rebelling against their own government, because they had one of their own, and were no longer part of the old one.

Robert Lee wasn't a citizen, not because he renounced his citizenship, but because he became a citizen of a new nation.

The point of the war from the Union side was to destroy the CSA and force them back in the USA.  The fact that the CSA lost, and was destroyed doesn't mean they were not a country in those few years.  They held territory.  They had the loyalty of the large majority of their citizens.  They had governments, legislatures, laws, courts, taxation, police, army, navy and so on.  It functioned exactly like a country because it was one, and denying it doesn't make sense.

I can't see how we are going to come to terms on this one, so I think we are going to just need agree to disagree.

This is simply untrue.  The US held for the entirety of the war that secession was unconstitutional, and that the south was still part of the US, and in open rebellion.  That's why Lincoln felt he could make proclamations that affected residents of the south.  The Johnson administration's official policy was also that there was no CSA, and that the states had been "lately in rebellion".

Indeed, Lee himself admitted in his 1865 oath to support the constitution that the South had been in rebellion.

You could make the argument that the CSA had all the trappings of a country, and indeed it had the recognition of several foreign governments.  It's not the first time that has happened in the history of the world, but as far as the US is concerned, the CSA was never a country, and the US spent a fair bit of blood and treasure proving that.  So, no, the US does not agree that Lee was no longer a citizen, he was a US citizen until the US stripped the Confederate leaders of their rights after Appomattox.  That's why he was indicted for treason.  The indictment was only dropped because it violated the terms of the surrender.

You are mistaken here as a matter of historical record.

  And after 1958 the arguments became irrelevant via act of Congress that declared all Confederate veterans to be U.S. Veterans.

Most of the Confederates had their rights restored in 1865 due to Johnson's Amnesty Proclamation and most of the rest got full amnesty in 1868 when Johnson issued a full pardon for those who had taken part in the "rebellion".  It was only those big names (like Davis and Lee) that had been indicted for treason in 1865 that didn't get the 1868 pardon.  Lee had made an application and swore an oath to the Constitution in 1865 in an attempt to get amnesty, but the paperwork disappeared for many years, so that Lee was not a full US citizen well past his death.  It wasn't until an act of congress in 1975 that Lee's full citizenship was retroactively restored.

Your entire argument boils down to "the USA won". Goes back to the one who wins writes the history. 

Then again, we have always called it the Civil War.  Not quite the same as rebellion but pretty close.  I would argue the difference being that entire states of the union decided to break away as a state, not just a group of individuals.

Doesn't your argument boil down to "the Confederates said they were not a part of the US, so they were not"?

It was important to the framers of the US Constitution, and perhaps more important to opponents of secession, that that document was ratified not by the state governments, but by the people of each state. So there was an argument to be made that states could not leave the Union, because they were not the entities that agreed to it.

Yes and no.  The nuance here is that we are talking about Lee's US citizenship.  Everyone agrees he was a US citizen in early 1861, so how and when did he lose it is important as that will be the crux of the original question Pb and I were discussing: Did Gen Lee commit treason against the US.

There are generally two ways you can get rid of citizenship.  You can renounce it formally, or it can be stripped by the country.  Case in point:  I was born in Italy and had dual citizenship until I was an adult.  I needed to formally renounce Italian citizenship to get my security clearance.  Simply joining the US Army didn't do it.

But back to Lee:  There's no evidence he ever renounced his US citizenship.  Indeed it would have been out of character for him as he considered himself a Virginian first than an American.  We know the US government didn't do anything formal until after Appomattox because there are records of that.  So after his resignation from the US Army, when he took up arms as commander of the Provisional Army of Virginia in Spring of 1861, how could he be anything other than a US citizen committing treason against the US Government.  Hell the the Provisional Army wasn't even folded into the Confederate Army for a couple months after that.

Also, I repeat, Lee himself said several times that secession was nothing but rebellion.  And if you are under arms in a rebellion, you are kinda by definition committing treason on the government you are rebelling against.

That's the No part.  As to the Yes part, I feel like "the US won" is a pretty compelling argument since what the US won was the question of; "Can US states form their own country and leave?"  The answer is "No, they can not."  Since the US won, and secession is unconstitional, those states were not a country, but rather states in rebellion against the government.  None of this was even controversial until the 1930's or so when a CSA public relations push was made.


Gen Lee is simultaneously a gifted US Army Officer, a successful Superintendent of West Point,  a traitor to the United States, the cause of tens of thousands of US Army casualties, a slave owner, and by all accounts an honorable man.  Thus the confusion on his legacy.

Gen Lee, for one, was clear eyed about what he was doing:

Quote from: Robert E. Lee's letter to George Washington Custis Lee, Jan 1861
As an American citizen, I take great pride in my country, her prosperity and institutions, and would defend any State if her rights were invaded. But I can anticipate no greater calamity for the country than a dissolution of the Union. It would be an accumulation of all the evils we complain of, and I am willing to sacrifice everything but honor for its preservation. I hope, therefore, that all constitutional means will be exhausted before there is a resort to force. Secession is nothing but revolution. The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom, and forbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will. It was intended for “perpetual union,” so expressed in the preamble, and for the establishment of a government, not a compact, which can only be dissolved by revolution, or the consent of all the people in convention assembled

Doesn't your argument boil down to "the Confederates said they were not a part of the US, so they were not"?

It was important to the framers of the US Constitution, and perhaps more important to opponents of secession, that that document was ratified not by the state governments, but by the people of each state. So there was an argument to be made that states could not leave the Union, because they were not the entities that agreed to it.
Seems like an odd legal argument.  Some states seceded by popular referendum.  It wasn't all just state legislatures voting.  I haven't looked at how the CSA govt was ratified after that. 

I was under the impression some Founding Fathers expected a revolution from time to time and thought it was a good thing.

That doesn't mean they expected the people in charge to just say, "oh, OK, go ahead and have a revolution, then. We're fine with it."

That may be true, but I doubt they would get too worked up over the citizenship of a failed revolutionary or the terminology of the event 150 years after it happened except perhaps as it applied to their discussions on the philosophy of govt.   =)

George Santos: first openly trans-electable member of Congress.

https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/12/27/george-santos-okay-i-lied-about-almost-everything-n520147

Santos identified as having a job history and educational credentials that cisnormative transphobes in the press say he doesn't really have. Also, he was married to a woman until a couple of years ago, but now says he's homosexual. (Then again, maybe he or his "wife" identified as another gender at the time.)

All of these things made him more electable in 2022. He is trans-electable, and the haters just can't deal.

I just realized - he's also trans-homosexual. Sure, he was "assigned heterosexual" at one point in his life, but he made the stunning and brave choice to be the homosexual he's always been. And you better not mis-sexuality him, bigot.

There are generally two ways you can get rid of citizenship.  You can renounce it formally, or it can be stripped by the country.  Case in point:  I was born in Italy and had dual citizenship until I was an adult.  I needed to formally renounce Italian citizenship to get my security clearance.  Simply joining the US Army didn't do it.

There is a third way to lose your citizenship.  It is when the place you live forms a new country, making you a citizen of the new country.  I understand your points, and respect them, but do not agree.

I am admirer of both Lee and Grant.  Both fought honorably in defense of their countries as they saw it.  Both were great men.

I do not admire Lincoln or Davis.  Either once could have avoided bloodshed, but each worked to make it happen to further other goals.  It was the worst tragedy that the USA has ever experienced and it was avoidable.  Neither of them were willing to avoid fighting.

I am a strong supporter of the right to secession (though not the CSA).  If states could leave at will, it is likely the Federal Government would have to moderate its behavior and be less power mad.

The Articles are silent on secession thus the 10th amendment is in effect and the powers to do so are retained by the People and the several States.

At the risk of being the APS racist, black people are ~15% of the population. Why is it whenever you see these kinds of videos, there are ten times more of them with black people (it seems a majority of women) then all other races combined? I'm genuinely curious about the cultural upbringing for some sub-demographic of black people to act like wild animals and think it's in some way normal behavior. From the video, it seemed even black people outside were disappointed at them feeding the stereotype. And the black people outside, from the ebonics, were not black people who have a job, house, and 2.5 kids, and even they were disgusted with the whole thing.

However, when Booth tried to get a job at a Waffle House restaurant in a different state two months later, she was told she had been blacklisted from the restaurant chain, she told Carlson.

    The term ‘obese’ is a slur because it is used to dehumanize us and harass us. It’s not because our feelings are hurt by an ‘accurate description’, it is an outdated term that does more harm than good. And as such, it should be eradicated. That’s it.

I always thought "fatso" was a slur and "obese" was a medical description. So how is the medical profession supposed to refer to unhealthfully overweight people? Because "overweight" is offensive as well, right?

Oh, wait - I guess the medical community has chimed in (though I can't tell if this guy is for real or trolling):

On the trans-craziness: consider all the not-so-attractive, single women out there, and all the time and effort and money they spend trying to look good and smell good, and trying different dating services, and going out to different places. All the fretting, and complaining about how they can’t find a guy, and all the good guys are taken, and I really thought Steve would be The One, but stupid Jessica that always looks perfect without even trying came along and stole him – all that, plus the money they spend on bad-break-up ice cream.

Then some guy puts on a dress and some make-up, and complains on Twitter that all these men are "trans-phobic," because they're not all lining up to take him out. They'd better not say that stuff in the cat food aisle. Those lonely girls might get violent.

The Santos story keeps reminding me of the odd timing of corporate media's obsession with fake news misinformation. It ramped up after Trump won 2016, and has not really abated since. But that was after they had already spent years insisting Bruce Jenner is a girl.

Of course, they would go on to other feats, like celebrating the "anti-fascism" of fascist antifa, the "anti-racism" of racists like Ibram Kendi, the convenient redefinition of "recession," etc.

But some online said the video was 'demonic', showing how sufferers could only receive the surgery by becoming online content for a rich YouTuber instead of getting the necessary treatment from the government.

In fact, she once bragged on Facebook that she had taught her employees to do what she does and 'never call the cops.'

Given her beliefs, why was she chasing them? It's pretty obvious that they were just redistributing wealth, and likely engaging in active reparations, so she should have been good with that. Probably should have thanked them for their wokeness. Maybe that's why she was chasing them? To apologize for being white?

And her survivors want alternatives other than incarceration for the perpetrators?

How about the gas chamber. That's an alternative.

Remember the 6 year old that shot a teacher?
Well it gets even more bizarre. Makes you wonder what his home life is like.

Boy, 6, who shot and wounded his teacher 'constantly swore at staff, tried to whip them with his belt and choked another teacher until she couldn't breathe'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11720109/Boy-six-shot-teacher-allegedly-tried-choke-whipped-pupils.html

If only there had been any signs the kid was predisposed to violence, maybe we could have intervened before he shot some one.

Oh well. I guess there's no way to tell until the shooting starts.

I'd read that before.  My first thought then (& now) is how the hell was a 6 year old able to choke out an adult?  Did the teacher not fight back??  Or at least break the hold???

Second thought was, yeah, what the hell was going on in that household?

I still don't understand how removing urinals would stop guys from peeing standing up. Maybe it's a generational thing, but when I use a public toilet where there are no urinals, (like the single toilets often found in gas stations or convenience stores) I still pee standing up. I'm polite and kick the seat up with my foot before I go, but I'm not sitting down. I don't have urinals in my home and don't sit down to pee here either.

The world is "mad" because we live in a world of stories that are lies.

We're old, many of the stories we were told growing up still had some element of truth or were based in reality. As time went by the stories told to the youth changed and they lost their tether to truth and reality.

There are at least a couple generations now who believe "mad" stories, those stories are nested in false stories that are nested in meta-stories that are lies. Whatever facts that are marshalled are contextualized in a false narrative, ie lies.

It's phony baloney plastic bananas all the way down.

You can't really reason with people who are so entangled in lies and delusions. Unless you manage to convince them to examine their presuppositions and foundational premises. Few people are willing to willingly embrace mental/spiritual anguish by hazarding an existential crises and work this stuff out for themselves. 

Turns out, IMHO, it really is a Logos/truth/reality vs Chaos/lies/delusion battle ... all the way down.

A pre-kindergarten teacher and early childhood professor repeatedly attacked the idea of "childhood innocence" and claimed that early childhood teachers should introduce children to gender ideology at the youngest ages, Fox News Digital found.
Quote
He went on to attack the idea that children shouldn't be exposed to "sexuality," claiming that "such a view is a very white, Christian, upper-class, cis-gendered, and hetero-centric."

"Not talking about Queerness in the Classroom, is NOT Letting Children be Children. It's Telling Those people They Do Not Deserve to Exist," he said in September 2021. "Kids are never too young."

A Yale University professor has sparked outrage by suggesting the only way to deal with Japan's rapidly aging population is a mass suicide and disembowelment.

Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, defended his views in a New York Times profile this weekend after he made the remarks on a streaming news program in 2021.

'I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,' he said at the time. 'In the end, isn't it mass suicide and mass 'seppuku' of the elderly?'

Quote
When people gather anonymously to talk about dancing in the shadow of drugs and sex, the energy in the room glows with a warm ball of white light. This feeling, I think, must be the immanence of healing. So much shame and secrecy is still attached to chemsex — a term that refers to using substances such as methamphetamine, GHB/GBL, and newer synthetic drugs such as 3-MMC while engaging in casual and often group sex. To evade public scrutiny, the act is often facilitated online using coded language (“Party and Play,” “PnP,” “Tina”) or even specific emojis (diamond, rocketship). Rarely is this subject discussed beyond hookup apps — and even less so outside the gay male scenes where the term originates from.

One of the great mysteries of our time has to be how these LBGTQ+ activists suddenly became so influential in our culture and politics. This is insane.

It’s less a mystery than one might think. One thing people misunderstand about the rainbow alphabet rights movement is that it’s just one part of the left wing. It’s not a stand-alone movement, made up only of the sexually dysfunctional. So it is a small group with outsized clout, but not the group so many people think it is.

One of the keys to their success has been to borrow the moral authority of the black civil rights movement, trying to cast themselves as similarly-disfavored minority group. That, I think, is partly why they pushed the “born this way / not a choice” message so hard. That’s not really what the evidence showed; it was just a better fit for their victim narrative. It’s commonly said that there’s an unusually large number of homosexuals working in the film and television industry, so it was probably easy to get the media to portray them the way they preferred.

One move by the “gay agenda” that’s not often discussed was GLAAD’s formal request to the AP, to soften the language the press was using to describe them. They knew the term “homosexual” was too plain-spoken, and clinical, so they told the AP it was “offensive.” Instead, they wanted the press to use more approachable, slang terms like “gay” and “lesbian.”

https://www.glaad.org/2010/11/23/glaad-at-25-persuading-the-associated-press-to-restrict-use-of-a-problematic-word

“Homosexual” is a neutral, descriptive term, and obviously the term most suitable for the press to use. It doesn’t take any longer to say (it certainly takes less effort to write/type) than the phrase “gay and lesbian,” but the press was probably eager to go along with the change.

What really put them over the top was the marriage issue. That goes back to their having black-faced their movement. It was easy for them to claim, however speciously, that two women who want to “marry” one another are the equivalent of an interracial, heterosexual couple, in the 1960s. Anyone who disagrees is somehow a bigot. Instead of explaining why millennia of tradition and practice ought to be set aside, the alleged right to same-sex marriage was simply asserted, sans evidence.  There was, somehow, a right to have a foundation of society redefined, to accommodate something only rarely practiced in human history, and certainly no part of most cultures’ idea of marriage. It certainly didn’t help that religion was in decline, leaving Westerners w/o a basis for much of anything in their culture. Pointing to the religious nature of marriage was seen as illegitimate, while the gaygenda’s appeal to “but I want to” was beyond question.

It was no coincidence that immediately after the Court forced this new sort of “marriage” on all 50 states, the rights of wedding service providers was under assault, followed by the demand we all forget bedrock facts about sex differences. And now, as predicted by many, pedophilia is up for debate. Also, Canada is pushing euthanasia. And that's just the tip of the 'berg, of course.

Some members of the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) Language Project, founded by scientists in the US and Canada, wrote that 'much of western science is rooted in colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy' which 'continue to permeate our scientific culture'.

Quote
What scientific terms were deemed 'harmful'?

Harmful term: blind / double blind / plant blindess

Context: Disability metaphor

Replacement : Awareness

 

Harmful term: feminized / masculinized

Context: Feminized implies that 'feminine' and 'masculine' are biological traits rather than social constructs

Replacement : Describe the specific traits

 

Harmful term: man / woman

Context: Highly anthropomorphic / Biases towards men or male traits

Replacement: Male or female / Human


Harmful term: survival of the fittest

Context: Eugenics, ablelism, and social Darwinism

Replacement: Natural selection / Survival differences


Harmful term: Gender

Context: Gender, a social construct, is often conflated with sex

Replacement: Sex

 

Harmful term: Male/female

Context: These terms are used to reinforce societally-imposed ideas of a sex binary, emphasising cis-normative and hetero-normative views

Replacement: Sperm-producing/egg-producing or XY/XX individual

We spend about a quarter of every dollar the government collects in taxes (across state/federal/local) on education but we're constantly told that it is not enough.

I've seen publik skuul spending up close. I've posted this before, but back in the mid '70s a student project at my high school that should have taken <$2000 was quoted by the Chicago Board of Education at $43,750. The BoE became VERY upset that the students went to the news media with this disparity and that it was widely reported. (SOME of the media back then still had "journalistic integrity.")

So I don't believe education money is being spent wisely - not even close. It wasn't back then, and IMHO careless waste, politics, and poor judgement - along with outright graft and corruption - have only made things worse now.

I think it's true (could be wrong) that most people on the far left do not believe in hell. Certainly communism discourages such. Left-wing religion tends to disbelieve. Do such people seek to punish their enemies in this life, because they have no hope of divine justice in the next?

*citation needed.

Certainly atheists don't believe in hell, and true Communists tend to be atheists, but I don't think that's very common in America.  All the left leaning people I know believe in an afterlife.  Several are active Christians that believe in the Biblical Hell explicitly.  Certainly Rev Wright and the Obama's profess a belief in the Christian afterlife, as do the Bidens.

I think Perd has a point about it being easier to accept temporal injustice if one believes in an eternal reckoning. A pragmatic government or politician might even see that as beneficial regardless of their actual belief.

I wasn't arguing Perd's point that it's easier to accept temporal injustice if one believes in an eternal reckoning.  I was objecting to the statement that "I think it's true (could be wrong) that most people on the far left do not believe in hell. Certainly communism discourages such. Left-wing religion tends to disbelieve."

Atheists and some Agnostics certainly fall into that category, but are a pretty small percentage of the population.  (Wiki says 6ish %)  but most everyone else has an afterlife and some kinda of incentive to be good, It's kinda a defining point of religion writ large.  I think your links, cordex, bear that out:

(https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/FT_16.02.22_religionPoliticalAffiliation_640px1.png)

Everyone of those, even the blue leaning ones have an afterlife with a reckoning.  Hinduism and Buddhism with continual reincarnation are the least explicit, but still there, and the rest of those pretty much explicitly believe in the Christian Judgment and Hell, or a very close analouge.


Full on Communists aside (and they are another conversation, despite their small numbers)  Faith in God{s} and an afterlife does not  seem to correlate to any particular ploitics or moral stance in the US.  In Perd's defense he said he was just musing and could be wrong.

I'll now brace myself for the "No True Scotsman Christian" arguments.

 shrug, could be.  I said it was from wiki.  The article references this Pew Study (https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/)

Also, a whole bunch of "religious" people of all flavors are socially religious but by any measure of observance or belief are entirely irreligious.  As the social stigma of atheism has declined more people are willing to admit to their lack of belief both publicly and to pollsters.  That doesn't even get into the "I'm not religious, but I'm spiritual" crowd whose beliefs are almost completely indefinable.

At the risk of starting a fight, that could be reworded as "Far right theologists dismiss the religious doctrine of anyone they disagree with as wrong or not a religion." by someone like a staunch Presbyterian.  Compared to the more evangelical flavor that is common on this board I'm sure a lot of those branches labeled "mainline" in the graphic are sinful and loose, but I routinely get told by them (in other settings) that a good portion of American Christianity has fallen to backwards psuedo-theocratic facisim.   Pays your money, takes your choice.


I would caution against backhand dismissal of many peoples religion though.  Even if it seems wrong to you, often it is very serious to them, and they will act as such.

Sorry, sometimes I'm slow on the uptake, but I'm honestly not sure I understand what you're trying to communicate here.  Are you under the impression that I was trying to say that people who disagree with me religiously are "wrong or not a religion"?  Or was this a clumsy rephrasing of Perd's point from the opposite perspective?  An accurate non-sequitur?  I just can't get it to make sense in context.

To be clear, I was not talking about people any particular doctrine or faith - hence "of all flavors".  Nor am I trying to claim that people who don't believe exactly what I do aren't really religious.  There are a whole lot of people who publicly self-describe as believing something (whatever that something is) but who do not actually believe that thing.  I'm saying there are a lot of people who claim to be Jewish, Catholic, Baptist, Muslim, Hindu, Pagan, Communist, whatever, who publicly profess adherence to a faith despite not actually believing in the literal truth or accuracy of the doctrine of the group they belong to.  Often that false profession is to maintain a place in a community they have come to value, regardless of whether they still believe in the same things.

I have never heard of a "stigma of atheism".  Maybe back in the 1980's in some cases, but not now or the last couple decades. 
I absolutely think there is a stigma of atheism within religious communities.  Especially when a believer rejects their previous faith.  That doesn't mean that adherents to those religions hate atheists or anything, but they definitely look at someone differently when they are in an outgroup instead of the ingroup.

It was not so very many years ago that publicly claiming to be atheist was a pretty edgy thing to do.  Not anymore, of course.  I'd attribute at least some of that shift to the impact of the internet and the ability for people to express themselves more anonymously and build their own communities.  Once those replacement communities are built, the need for a local community (which was historically often built within the context of faith) seems less valuable.

I would caution against backhand dismissal of many peoples religion though.  Even if it seems wrong to you, often it is very serious to them, and they will act as such.
Did you think I was backhandedly dismissing someone's religion?  The only group I intentionally backhanded were the people who claim to be spiritual but not religious, but I can't dismiss their religion because they aren't religious.

I was responding to your statement "Also, a whole bunch of "religious" people of all flavors are socially religious but by any measure of observance or belief are entirely irreligious" with the kind of response that I have gotten in the past from folks in the leftist branches of Christianity (Mostly Presbyterian, as that's what my in-laws are in , but also some folks I know in )when I have this conversation with them.  Certainly there are plenty of "bad" practitioners of all faiths, I've gotten drunk with enough Muslims to understand that, but I think dismissing many of them as bearing a "false profession" is inaccurate.

Did you think I was backhandedly dismissing someone's religion?  The only group I intentionally backhanded were the people who claim to be spiritual but not religious, but I can't dismiss their religion because they aren't religious.

Yes.  Between your deeming a bunch of folks professing faith as "entirely irreligious" and Perd's "Left-wing religion tends to disbelieve [in hell]" I was cautioning against such backhanded dismissal of other's beliefs.

Something I've witnessed over the years is that the overwhelming majority of "religions" believe that they are the one true path. That every other faith is wrong and that everyone but them is going straight to hell.  Being an atheist I know that if I am wrong I will be able to take some small comfort in the number of horribly surprised mother *expletive deleted*ers with me in hell.

As an atheist I find it all pretty amusing. And, even here I have held my tongue on many more than one occasion where one or more of the boards more fervently religious members denigrate atheists.

Pretty broad brush there.
I don't recall ever having denigrated any religion or religious practice here unless it was a practice that might infringe on my right not to practice any religion.
I haven't called Baptists out for not believing the exact same way I do nor have I claimed that Presbyterians are all wrong and going to hell because they use the wrong translation of the bible. I see that sort of thing here all the time.
Not all atheists are anti-religion. Most don't care what you do so long as you leave them the heck alone.
Instead of ignoring it and just moving on I'll make a point of calling out the atheist bashing in the future when it comes up here.

I made an observation, and in your response you've categorically shown the larger problem with discussing issues of faith (and yes, an inherent lack of faith is still a faith)... Everyone believes that they're right, any any comment that isn't anything other than 100% in lockstep is an OUTRAGEOUS PERSONAL ATTACK AGAINST MY PERSON AND MY BELIEFS AND IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED YOU INTOLERANT BASTARD!

Look again at what I said...

I never said YOU believe such, or YOU denigrated so and so...

You assumed that's what I meant because your personal beliefs have already charged your fight response.

Can you categorically deny that every atheist is 100% free of that kind of belief and reaction pattern?

If you can, why I think that would be... a miracle. :)

I was responding to your statement "Also, a whole bunch of "religious" people of all flavors are socially religious but by any measure of observance or belief are entirely irreligious" with the kind of response that I have gotten in the past from folks in the leftist branches of Christianity (Mostly Presbyterian, as that's what my in-laws are in , but also some folks I know in )when I have this conversation with them.  Certainly there are plenty of "bad" practitioners of all faiths, I've gotten drunk with enough Muslims to understand that, but I think dismissing many of them as bearing a "false profession" is inaccurate.
We're still not connecting here.  You keep trying to impute some sort of judgmental self-righteousness into my position.  I'm not talking about people who fail to live up to what they believe they should or should not do - that describes most adherents to most faiths with any sort of standards of behavior.  There's a big difference between a Muslim who believes that drinking alcohol is wrong but succumbs to temptation and a Muslim who doesn't believe drinking alcohol is wrong but pretends to when he's around coreligionists.  Or, to take it a step further, a Muslim who doesn't really believe the Shahada at all, even if he repeats it.

There are a number of people whose professed religion is to a greater or lesser degree disconnected from their actual beliefs.  I'm specifically talking about people whose internal beliefs about core issues - say, the existence of a god - are at odds with the belief of the faith they profess.  Very few are malicious about it - as might be a priest who insinuates himself into a position where he can abuse children.  Most are people whose family historically practiced a faith, maybe who have family that continue to attend at a given congregation, who like their fellow churchgoers, and don't particularly want to leave or lose the support of that ingroup.  The draw of a local religious community used to be much stronger than it is today, and so there is less pressure for such people to stay associated with a group, but it is still there.  The more closely knit a given congregation is, the more pronounced that pressure might be.

Again, I'm not trying to belittle people like this, simply pointing out that they tend to inflate the numbers of adherents beyond the people who actually believe the doctrine of various faiths.

Yes.  Between your deeming a bunch of folks professing faith as "entirely irreligious" and Perd's "Left-wing religion tends to disbelieve [in hell]" I was cautioning against such backhanded dismissal of other's beliefs.
1. My point wasn't backhanding people's beliefs.  I was pointing out that there are people who do not really believe what they tell other people they believe.  I'm surprised that's even a contentious position.  It's not like I'm the first person to notice that not all churchgoers even believe in a god or that there is a difference between claimed preference and revealed preference.  It was part of addressing your utterly ridiculous claim that 6% of the US were nonreligious.  (I know, "But, but, but, two minutes on Wikipedia said so!")
2. I don't take Perd as dismissing other people's beliefs either.  Depending on how you interpret "far left" he might be factually wrong, but what he actually claimed (subject to correction) was: "most people on the far left do not believe in hell".  Whether your Presbyterian in-laws qualify as far left or not I don't know.  For that matter, I don't have any idea what they personally believe regarding hell - as not all Christians do believe in a literal hell.

This is another snapshot from that old survey from 2014 that comes closer to answering the question.  There does appear to be a slight correlation between belief in hell and party affiliation as Perd postulated.  It would not surprise me if the party extremes (i.e. "far left") were to have an even tighter correlation.
(https://i.imgur.com/AXdzSFt.png)
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/belief-in-hell#party-affiliation

That said, from a practical perspective and independent of my apparent inability to clearly communicate to you, you aren't wrong about people reacting to perceived attacks.  Even people who don't share belief in a given doctrine might become defensive over that doctrine if they feel that the group they associate with has been attacked.

If I were doing that, sure, but I'm not. 

I'm not assigning a label to any unwilling individual, or chalking up a list for the inquisition.  I personally know people for whom their religion is a matter of familial expedience, cultural habit, social reliance, or simply a musical outlet ... all despite not believing the doctrine of their church.  I'm saying I've had conversations with people who describe themselves as nonbelievers despite attending with varying regularity.  I'm not sure how you're getting from that that I'm telling people I know better what is in their hearts.  I'm saying that what is in people's hearts is not always what they tell a pollster, or even someone in their church.

If you dig around that Pew survey, there are varying but not insignificant percentages within most of the major religious groups of people who tell the researchers that they do not believe in god.  That alone should be an indicator that religious belief and religious affiliation are not the same thing, and I'm not at all convinced that the percentage who admit it in the poll are the full measure of that group.
https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/religious-landscape-study/belief-in-god/

By way of analogy, let's say there was a survey indicating a certain number of gun owners.  Using those numbers we could discuss the fact that there are some of those gun owners who own a gun or two but never actually shoot - some who have in fact never shot their gun at all, some who own guns but don't want others to own guns and might vote for politicians hostile to firearms.  We might also discuss the fact that some people will lie to a polltaker about whether they own guns out of concern that the information might be abused.  There will be some who own guns but are not proud of it so they won't admit it, and so on.  Discussing that those groups exist is not judgmentally accusing any particular individual of having those opinions.
Title: Re: Maybe we should just start a The World Has Gone Mad thread
Post by: MechAg94 on February 28, 2023, 03:54:40 PM
I absolutely think there is a stigma of atheism within religious communities.  Especially when a believer rejects their previous faith.  That doesn't mean that adherents to those religions hate atheists or anything, but they definitely look at someone differently when they are in an outgroup instead of the ingroup.

It was not so very many years ago that publicly claiming to be atheist was a pretty edgy thing to do.  Not anymore, of course.  I'd attribute at least some of that shift to the impact of the internet and the ability for people to express themselves more anonymously and build their own communities.  Once those replacement communities are built, the need for a local community (which was historically often built within the context of faith) seems less valuable.
This part was in response to my quote.  IMO, narrowing the "stigma" to just religious communities is watering is down to the point such that is doesn't exist.  If you are an outsider in a group, you are an outsider.  I don't see that as a stigma.  You are just the outsider.  That probably only applies to small communities these days at most.  Those sorts of communities have been dwindling for decades.  In or around larger cities or even hours away from large cities, the mix of people is such that I doubt that matters outside of fairly close relationships. 

On the second part, if you are publicly proclaiming yourself to be anything, then claiming a "stigma" seems odd to me.  You might as well walk into a Catholic Church, proclaim yourself a Baptist, and wonder why everyone doesn't cheer for you.  Maybe get a "I am and Atheist, Change my Mind" T-shirt. 

IMO, the mixing that occurs  these days puts a damper on stigmas for those reasons.  Of course, if you are argumentative or confrontational, you might see a stigma for that.   =)

Whether you want to call it a stigma or something else, do you not think that 20 or 30 years ago it was more controversial to be known to be atheist?  Do you disagree that in the intervening years it has become less controversial? 

That's all I was trying to say.  It has become easier to admit to being an atheist than it used to be.

I guess that kind of depends on where fistful was drawing the "far left" line.


I was thinking chiefly of those leftists who try to punish people, just because they won't toe whatever line is put in front of them. And those who agree with it. For example, the type of people that were happy to see Gina Carano fired from The Mandalorian. Or the millionaire "gay rights" activist who said he would "punish the wicked (https://thefederalist.com/2017/07/19/ultra-rich-gay-activist-targeting-christians-time-punish-wicked/)."

But I did say "most people on the far left do not believe in hell." Is that too sweeping of a statement? Probably. I guess it would be more accurate to say something like, "those furthest left in American politics are less likely to believe in hell than those to the right of them." The latter is vague enough, I think it would be hard to disagree with.

The Pew Research isn't exactly a smoking gun to prove my point, but it does suggest I'm not entirely off-base. Nearly a third of Americans do not believe in hell. Non-GOP and lefties are definitely less likely to believe, if Pew's polling is at all accurate.

As for disbelief in hell among left-leaning Christians, I don't think it's controversial to say that "left-wing religion tends to disbelieve." Just a couple of cites:

Quote
In recent times, a significant split has emerged  between the more conservative and more liberal wings of many Protestant denominations. Conservatives maintain their belief in an afterlife spent in a literal place, either heaven or hell. More liberal Protestants tend to downplay hell...
https://www.patheos.com/library/protestantism/beliefs/afterlife-and-salvation

Quote
As with so many things, progressive Christianity doesn’t have any official stance about this, but it does seem to be the case that most progressive Christians do not have a concept of hell as part of their faith and practice. I cannot speak for all of progressive Christianity, but I can share how this progressive Christian understands things – hell isn’t even part of the Bible and shouldn’t be a part of Christianity.
https://progressivechristianity.org/resources/progressive-christianity-on-the-concept-of-hell/


Between your deeming a bunch of folks professing faith as "entirely irreligious" and Perd's "Left-wing religion tends to disbelieve [in hell]" I was cautioning against such backhanded dismissal of other's beliefs.


There was no "backhanded dismissal of other's beliefs," at least on my end. I'm pretty sure that people's beliefs (whether they believe there is a hell, or not; or whether they believe in God, or not) are legitimate grounds for discussion. There are plenty of people in various Christian or quasi-Christian denominations that reject the doctrine of hell. Some clearly have a problem with Christianity's description of God. They have a right to their point of view; and we have a right to discuss them, their beliefs, and the implications of their beliefs. To ignore what people believe would be dismissive, I think.


Another counter to the whole framework I've suggested is that Islamic terrorists, inquisitive Catholics, and others who fervently believed the dissenters were bound for hell; still sought to punish them on earth. So there's that.

There are plenty of people in various Christian or quasi-Christian denominations that reject the doctrine of hell.


I am an annihilationist.  After the final judgement, lake of fire completely destroys anyone in it.  They cease to exist in any form.  I believe this view is well attested by the Bible, including direct statements by Christ.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.  Jesus Christ, Matthew 10:28

The Old Testament explicitly teaching the total destruction of the wicked, not eternal torment:

4 [a]“Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. “Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act,” says the Lord Almighty.
Malachi 4

22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
Isaiah 66
This passage is especially interesting, because Christ directly refers to it in the NT:
And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where ‘their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.’
Mark 9:48
Oddly enough, Mark 9:48 is usually used to support the notion of eternal torment, despite the fact that the source text from the OT clearly refers to worms and fire destroying corpses, not living people being tormented.

The case for eternal torment in the bible is actually very poor, and much weaker than the case for annihilation.

No jails because Indians enslaved one another when they weren't killing each other. Or they just did human sacrifices with their prisoners.
No homelessness because if you couldn't make it on your own, nobody helped you and you died. If you were old, you were sent away to die.
No abortion because infant death was common.

I am ambivalent to slightly positive on DeSantis.  He did really well in the storm recovery and pushing back on woke teachers and administrators, but he does have a solid authoritarian streak that he likes to indulge.  I voted for him twice for governor, and hope he stays to finish his term.

That said, if the best the left can come up with for the big bad wolf they seem sure is coming in 2024 is "Oh yeah! Well you're short!!" they are going to have a rough go of it.

We've been talking here a lot about good people and good cops and bad people and bad cops. Coincidental to that, youtube has really been pushing both the "bad cop" videos and the "cops dealing with bad people" videos on me, and sad to say, I've been watching them.

One big takeaway for me is that as a generalization, the bad cops are almost always punished in some way with more than a slap on the hand. The bad people (watch the code blue cam videos for far too many examples), even after doing stuff a reasonable person would figure was "5-10" stuff, are walking away with $500 bonds or even "no bail" bonds. Or in the case of, for example, beating the crap out of somebody that also included a traffic violation, they walk on the beating and just get the traffic citation.

Something is really screwed up, at least in the big cities. As an aside, it seems that at least with the video dataset, there are more bad cop incidents in smaller towns and more "getting away with murder" incidents in the big cities.

I would not be surprised if the woman that stopped that shoplifter has been fired by her employer.  Employees stopping criminal activity in stores has not been tolerated for some years.  The reasons given for that are usually BS.
Back when I was working my way through school, I worked retail for a while.  Stopped a number of shoplifters.  Was encouraged to do so and received praise for doing it by my bosses.  Things sure have changed.

I was led to a couple of other videos of her stopping shoplifters. While not at that store anymore, she apparently wasn't fired, so I guess there is still some sanity.

If you read the story it's all kinds of *expletive deleted*ed up.  He actually took a plea deal for NO jail time at all, and the judge said "nope" and gave him 6 months.

Quote
Shei was facing three different felony first-degree criminal conduct charges in two separate cases. His plea deal called for no prison time, a stay of adjudication and the dismissal of two out of three charges. If Shei completes his [up to 30 years of] probation, all charges against him will be dismissed and will not be on his criminal record.

I'm sure some of the leniency is that he was a juvi at the time of the crime, but still. 

I also note the guy's name is Mohamed Bakari Shei and he is from Minnesota 50 miles south of the twin cities, so I have a pretty solid guess as to the culture he hails from.

"Because of the work that this president has done, because of what we’ve done specifically on fentanyl at the border, it’s at historic lows — historic levels that we have been able to record a number of personnel working to secure the border because of what we’ve been able to do, seizing that fentanyl," Jean-Pierre said. "We’ve done it in a historic way. That’s because of what this President has done."

Human penis found at Alabama gas station
https://www.fox5ny.com/news/human-penis-found-at-ala-gas-station
It is actually a bit tragic as a motor cyclist got in a accident on a nearby highway and was hit by multiple vehicles. 

Quote
While police did not explain how the appendage arrived at the gas station, local reports say that surveillance video appeared to show it fall from a truck that had stopped to get fuel.

https://abc3340.com/news/local/severed-human-sex-organ-found-at-alabama-gas-station-police-say-mobile-christopher-means
Quote
Means lost control of his bike moments before the fatal accident, police say. Following Means's death, "multiple sources" confirmed to the local newspaper Lagniappe that a "human penis" was found at the gas station on Monday. The gas station was located on a road near a highway.

Police say they believe multiple people unknowingly struck Means's body following the fatal crash.
-------------------
Of all the vehicles that allegedly struck him, only one stayed at the scene, according to Fox News. Police are reportedly still looking for the other drivers involved.

That last is pretty sad.  If his bike was not nearby I can see some drivers not knowing what they drove by, but more than a few would have known.

Mauree Turner is thus living a lie in all kinds of ways. She is pretending to be “non-binary,” instead of acknowledging that she is a woman. She is pretending to be Sharia-observant, despite flouting the severe penalties it prescribes for the behaviors she proudly flaunts as her “queer” identity. She pretends to be a governing official, sworn to uphold the laws of the state, while helping a lawbreaker evade punishment for breaking the laws of the state. Mauree Turner is, in sum, the contemporary Left personified, the veritable poster child for all its hypocrisy and fantasies.

Could be more to this don't know but here it is.

Note this occurred at a Catholic high school

Quote
Alexander was a student at a Canadian Catholic high school in Ontario until he spoke his mind over concerns of men in women's restrooms at the institution.

Distinguishing men from women and believing God created only two genders, he suggested, eventually led authorities to arrest and charge him for the "offense."

Quote
"Female students complained to me that they were concerned because males were using their washrooms. This turned into a debate at the school. I stated my opinion on it, and I used Scripture to back it up.

"They removed me from the building for the remainder of the year and, when I attempted to attend class, I was arrested and charged," he continued.

Leave behind:

The druggie accountant
The university administrator
The gay, vegan athlete
The disabled novelist

The old & disabled (me) stay behind.  Don't need a strung out mess dealing with a lack of drugs.  And they're going to be trying to increase the population - I don't see a gay guy being much help with that.

Everybody else can get over any problems they might have & deal with surviving.

Actually, the 12 y.o. makes sense IF its a female.  When a little bit older (15-16), she could be helpful by adding to the population.  And, being a younger starter, if she survives the pregnancies, could add quite a few more people to the total.  It might be necessary for her to have one pregnancy a year however.  ;/

Here's at least one "trans" guy that has retained a modicum of sense. The question was, "why aren't kids in the hood going trans?" His answer:

Quote
Well because the typical demographic is upper middle class white kids of progressive parents. for two reasons. They have time and money to worry about such things, and have been conditioned to believe through Critical Theory that they are an oppressor and there is no way they can ever escape that status, so they see this as a way to join an oppressed class for which they are celebrated for instead of condemned.

Yeah, prove it. If you try to deny/pull my scholarship, I'll have you know that I identify as 250 genders, 100 of them LGBTIQZKG@!!!~EIEIO, 75 of them straight, and the rest of them fluid. Prove which one filled out the application.

"Native American" was a preferred choice on scholarship applications when I was going to college. There were also a couple of very fair-skinned immigrant students from South Africa or Rhodesia who identified as "African-American." (Don't remember if they were born OUS or if it was only their parents.)

And claiming to be part Indian is the one thing I really don't hold against Elizabeth Warren. I see nothing wrong with someone gaming the system if the system is wrong and racially (or now, alphabet people) biased.

I've mentioned that a number of times in the context of an old neighbor from South Africa. When she immigrated she couldn't understand why she couldn't check African American and didn't understand why the big hoops HR people were getting pissed with her. As she understood it, she was an African, and she was now in America...

The cars are certainly not the only problem, but I have heard that some manufacturer's cars are absurdly easy to steal. 

A coworker used to have a nice Ford diesel truck.  He left his truck at a gas pump at the Buc-ee's in Wharton, TX.  As soon as he got inside, some guys that had been parked off to the side went up to his truck to steal it.  Someone else nearby realized they weren't the same people that drove it up yelled at them and they left.  However, it less than a minute, they had jammed the door lock and plugged something in to flash the computer which would allow them to start it without the key fob or use something else.  My coworker had to pay a good bit to get the dealership to reset the computer so he could drive it again.  Ford trucks are high on the list of stolen vehicles and that Buc-ee's is on HW59 heading straight down toward the border.

I see you. Clearly. And I aim to misbehave.

I strive to be self-sufficient. I honor the founding ideals of my country, and I work to live up to their measure. I recognize the great fortune of my birth. History does not frighten me. I reject your blood libels: I am not responsible for that which I didn’t do, nor are you victims of what was never done to you. I will not proclaim your goodness while knowing your evil.

Don't laugh

Quote
Teenager Makani Tran detailed his disqualification from a Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) tournament in Charlotte after appearing to laugh after being asked his pronouns by a judge.

According to Tran’s account on social media, he appeared to have made the judge of the sixth round uncomfortable after giving an awkward laugh upon being asked his pronouns.

"On our way over to the stream area the judge asked us for our preferred pronouns. I said ‘Um he or him or uh’ and I paused trying to think of the third pronoun (the third pronoun being his). As I just stood there looking stupid trying to think of the third pronoun I felt embarrassed because I was failing to think of a simple word. Due to the nerves and me being embarrassed I let out a little laugh just a normal nervous laugh. My response together ended up being ‘Um he or him or uhhhh haha his,’" Tran recounted.

Quote
"If it ain't tight, it ain't right." That used to be "Gorilla Glue Girl" Tessica Brown's motto — before her Feb. 2021 hair disaster went massively viral and turned her head into a rock-hard "helmet." In this episode of "I Survived Internet Infamy," the mom of five from Louisiana opens up about the hair-raising story — and the surprisingly lucrative opportunities that followed, including music, products and a Food Network stint.

"The amount of money that I made throughout this whole ordeal, it was a lot," she said. But not everyone was kind to Brown. "Saturday Night Live," Wendy Williams and Twitter all mocked her mistake. The daycare owner even received a death threat in the mail. Eventually, a plastic surgeon came to the rescue and saved Brown's scalp. "I felt like a kid of Christmas morning with a whole bunch of presents under the tree," she told The Post.

If passed, the measure would create a football field-size “2SLGBTQIA+ community safety zone” around drag shows and other LGBT events in Ontario. Anyone who protests within the zone would be subject to a $25,000 fine under the legislation.

Agreed, but if you are holding someone, anyone, to the standards of the screeching left, then you are necessarily acting like the screeching left.  and earnest desire or not, the Fox News is, in fact, pushing the concept forward.  Which is why they should be dismissed as stupid.  They are behaving stupidly.

I might be wrong, but I didn't see Fox connecting those two stories. They were two separate stories on their site that I, personally, connected together. In fact the press secretary one was already up by itself yesterday. The Riley one was just separately posted this morning.

As I said, I don't know that there is a direct connection between the WH propaganda and the attack. Also I don't want to be doing what the left does to us all the time and take a common phrase like "fight back" that can mean many things, and pigeon hole it into a physical attack. However, just like "trans day of vengeance", it appears the left themselves (at least an activist, mentally ill sub-population) have been taking their catch phrases literally.

Plus Riley Gaines deserves none of this. Of everyone, she was probably the most boned by Lia Thomas and the trans whackos. I saw her interviewed on the Tulsi Gabbard show and she is going through some hell.

SF State is praising the students for their "peaceful" protest

Quote
College swimming champion Riley Gaines slammed San Francisco State University for praising their students for so-called 'peaceful' protests after she claims she was hit 'multiple times by a guy in a dress' following a speech about saving women's sports.

Gaines, 23, was forced to barricade herself inside a room for around three hours at the San Francisco State University campus on Thursday night after a group of activists ambushed her.

Another example of someone wanting you to pay the price for their bad life choices

Quote
A plus-sized influencer has demanded the Federal Aviation Authority and airlines give overweight flyers as many free seats as they require to fly comfortably. 

Jaelynn Chaney, a travel and lifestyle creator based in Vancouver, wants the Federal Aviation Authority to 'protect' plus-sized travelers and make flying in coach 'comfortable and accessible for everyone.'

She also wants airlines to be forced to refund overweight passengers for any extra seats they're forced to purchase when booking to accommodate their size.


And she wants you to pay for it.

Quote
Chaney admits that price tickets would have to rise if she were to get her way, and concedes non-overweight passengers could be faced with higher ticket prices to help cover improvements.

How about you walk instead? You may even loose a ton or two.

Yeah.  Humor is (usually) subversive.  It subverts our expectations... this creates tension, which we relieve with a laugh... sometimes this points to a hidden truth.

In a conservative culture, funny humor tends to be leftist... it pokes fun at the way society works, and may expose hidden hypocracy.

In a leftist culture like ours, there is no humor in being told the same thing ever major media and establishment ahole preaches at us 24/7.  There is no subversion of expectations with leftist humor now.... it's boring.

To be honest, even in the "good" years of SNL, only a few of the skits each week were really funny.  I imagine the "Best of SNL" compilations will skip over this period.

In the meantime, keep growing rice and cattle, and keep building coal (and nuke) powerplants and laughing at the West, all while working to make BRICS dominant.

I almost wish it were.  If there was an evil enemy with a master plan there would be a chance we could fight and overcome them or foil the plan.  I think this is the result of hooking most of the world together into a shared information pseudo hive mind.  Turns out people are retarded narcissists giving them access to other retarded narcissists allows them to just snowball.

Was looking up the side effects of taking iron and came across this

Quote
Ferrous sulfate is a type of iron supplement. You normally get all the iron you need from the foods you eat. Your healthcare provider may recommend ferrous sulfate if you don’t get enough iron in your diet. Iron supplements can be especially beneficial for women or people assigned female at birth.

Middle School Investigated For ‘Vile’ Licking Game With Students And Staff
https://www.dailywire.com/news/middle-school-investigated-for-vile-licking-game-with-students-and-staff

Quote
Desert Hills Middle School in Kennewick had minor students and adult teachers compete to lick marshmallow cream off either side of two clear plexiglass panes, a video of the incident shows. The game was held at a school pep rally on March 31.

Quote
The video shows multiple staffers and students aggressively licking up the four lines of cream sometimes with their tongues in the same spots on opposite sides of the plexiglass. At one point, an adult holds a child’s head to the glass while licking the other side. Toward the end of the video, one staffer appears to be licking the glass in a way that one parent described as “sensual.”

Students can be heard screaming, “Ew,” “That’s actually so disgusting,” “I’m going to throw up,” “That’s so gross,” “What the heck?” and “Who thought that this was a good idea?”
Looks like most of the students were smarter than the teachers.

Partly because so many on the right and center are compromised by postmodernism, and partly because the Right still hasn't realized that debates are won by defining the terms. And partly because they're trying not to get censored by various platforms.

The NYPD commissioner in charge of employee relations is having a difficult time — with her employee relations.

More than 10 cops working under Deputy Commissioner Lisa White — who’s in charge of officer morale in the 35,000 uniformed member force — have either transferred or asked to be transferred out of her office because of her off-the-wall shenanigans, including claiming there are ghosts in her office and that workers are bugging her phone, police sources told The Post.

The final straw for one of them, a detective assigned to drive her in a department-assigned Ford SUV, came when White, 61, ordered the cop to turn on the lights and sirens because she was late for work.

No doubt that it's done on the right too. I do think on the right it's more of "against us" lists, whereas with these new tranny lists, it's lists of "not for us". It appears you can no longer be neutral. If you're not a vocal trans proponent, then you are an enemy. I don't know that even antifa and BLM usually go that far.

You are certainly right about the mental illness.

His punishment is just under a year in jail.

Probably a good time to remember that there are two guys facing a combined sentence of as much as 150 years for advertising and selling metal cards with a lightning link design etched on it.

So dealing in child porn gets you under a year but selling metal cards with a lightning link design can get you a couple lifetimes?

I've recently seen a number of cases in the news where (presumably) hetero men were convicted of child porn files on their computers and IIRC, the punishments ranged from like 5-20 years. There might have even been a life sentence in there.

Obviously some severe punishment is needed for that, but they were looking at images of it while this guy was creating it. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess if this were a hetero man instead of a "drag queen", we'd be looking at sentences at least as long as for the child porn viewers.

This trans stuff is just out of control.

Interesting info, but there are something like 37,000 Catholic clergy in the US and 3.7 million public school employees.
Assuming your numbers are correct, that puts the rate of offense at 0.005 per clergy member and 0.008 per public school employee.  Your point about public school employees being more likely to offend still stands, but the chart is misleading because of relative scale.

The overall rate in the US is approximately 0.0003 per adult (taking all adults in the US into consideration).  Seems like both career paths are an order of magnitude more likely to offend than a random adult, although I think that is likely to be explained in the same way serial killers tend to be attracted to the medical field.  That is to say, easy hunting grounds for particular kinds of predators.

Edit: I was including Catholic priests, deacons, and bishops.  If we include only priests the rate is 0.008, or identical to public school employees.  I don't know what your data actually is based on.

Throwing another datapoint out there, since that graph said "public school employees", that's what I googled before my comment and got 7,062,560 employees as the answer (https://www.ibisworld.com/industry-statistics/employment/public-schools-united-states/#:~:text=There%20are%207%2C062%2C560%20people%20employed,the%20US%20as%20of%202023.).

That number puts priests more likely to be pedos than teachers, hence my comment.

Whichever number you use it's clear that graph was designed to make a point that doesn't actually stand up to even cursory inspection.

I hold to the traditional Christian belief that anyone can potentially be tempted by homosexuality (or any alternative sexual behavior) given the right circumstances, to a greater or lesser degree depending on the person and the circumstances.  What people do with these feelings is molded by their value systems, both personal and societal.

Differences in sexual behavior vary a great degree across cultures according to the values of those that live in them.  In some cultures (the Etoro of New Guinea) pedophilia is (or was) literally universal.  In others bisexuality/pederasty is extremely common (ancient Greece and Rome).  Bestality, too, is common some areas (Brazil).  In other cultures homosexuality is almost unknown (traditional African hunter gatherers) or relatively rare (traditional Christian societies).  In some places and times transvestitism becomes very common (Muxe of Mexico).  Rape, too can be a universal practice in some societies (Comanche Indians, inflicted against captives).

The idea that a person has a particular sexual feeling X, therefore they are X, and must practice X behavior, is in fact false... as seen by the fact that rates of these behaviors varies from universal to common to nearly non existent.

The USA is rapidly abandoning a Christian culture, and moving to an atheist / pagan one.  And we are practicing the sexual values of atheist and some pagan societies (I mean no offense to the pagan societies that do not practice these things, I know not all pagan groups practice these things).

It has been a while, but I recall someone once brought out an old manuscript of a researcher (late 1800's or early 1900's) who found one African tribe that had some homosexuality.  Men who did that became sort of sub-wives to one of the hunters.  Apparently it was taboo to even mention the person if I remember right.  I don't remember where it was.  I don't think it was very common.

It varies between groups.  Some traditional societies have homosexuality as you mentioned, in some it is almost unknown.  Also, there is a difference between traditional farming societies and hunter gatherers (where homosexuality is less common).

I'd like to find a longer version of the video in the link to see exactly what they're talking about. It's Jennifer Granholm stating that she'd like the military vehicle fleet to be all electric by 2030.

If it's just the GSA and other "daily goto meeting" vehicles, well, I would expect that as the rest of fed.gov is likely to go down that path as well. Which, if nothing else, will at least slow down the waste of tax dollars for unnecessary travel as all the feds wait around for their vehicles to charge.  :laugh:

The 2035 date is what I've seen briefed for an all electric Non-Tactical Vehicle fleet.  So GSA's and the leased NTV's we use overseas.  We got a Tesla Model 3 GSA at the center where I work this year, and they are saying my parts van will probably be replaced with an electric transit when it ages out next year.  We'll see.

That same brief said we were looking at EV Tactical vehicles by 2050. (Tactical Vehicles are like MRAPs, 5-tons and the like, but are distinct from Combat Vehicles like APCs and Tanks)

I was just about to post that. Tell me... no, don't tell me, because I know the answer. Why is the DOJ, who has like a 1,456,876 page report on all the right wing extremists, or the FBI, not investigating this creep? If this were a proud boy, or a Christian calling for gays to die, or heck, even antifa, the FBI would be getting involved.

These trannies are getting a free pass from DOJ, and other LE agencies are to afraid of being labeled haters to act, and people are going to die.

Let's see those red flag laws go to work, since this guy supposedly has guns.

I'm not a simp for the Revenuers by any means, but the DOJ and state agency Violent Extremists circulars I get at work routinely include ANTIFA, Communist,  and crazy Tranny warnings.  Since I am not in the MA Air Guard, you'll have to take my word on that, I'm not posting documents.

In general the fed.gov is compiling info and investigating everyone they can, for everything. The big news banner arrests and what is leaked tends to be driven by the Politics of who's in charge, but IME no group gets a free pass on Big Brother surveillance and agent inspired plots.

No.

The Public Health Service Commissioned Corps is one of the 8 uniformed US services (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps).

The PHSCC actually has its roots in the Marine Hospital Fund (later the Marine Hospital Service). That's not US Navy/Marines, but the merchant marine. Lots more history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service_Commissioned_Corps

A transgender female pedophile who filmed her seven year-old daughter being sexually abused for horrific porn videos is being housed in a New Jersey women's prison despite still having a penis, it is claimed.

Marina Volz, 34, is serving her 25 year sentence at the notorious Edna Mahan Correctional Facility alongside her accomplice Ashley Romero, 30, who joined in the abuse of the girl.

Volz, born a man named Matthew, is now recorded as 'female' in official prison records, with her presence at Edna Mahan said to be causing terror among biological women housed there.

Shockingly, Volz is even said to want to marry Romero, so they can share a cell together, Reduxx reported, after the publication spoke to other inmates there

This was a halfway night on a Northern run deployment, up under the ice and back down in to the Barents Sea. I originally said Mediterranean run then I  remembered that the guy on the right didn't come on board till after that run. We were 110 days away from home port with 89 days continuously submerged.

Subs did line crossing ceremonies. I never crossed the equator (Shellback) but did cross the Arctic Circle (Bluenose) and we had a rather interesting ceremony for that event.. Crossing the date line (Golden Dragon) wasn't a big deal and we didn't do anything for that but we did get a fancy certificate. If they still do such ceremonies I would suspect that they are a far cry from what we did "back in the day".

Indeed.  We do line crossing ceremonies on Army Vessels, but exactly what happens is up to the crew, and most have a strictly enforced no cameras rule.

So the Navy is using a drag queen (who is in the Navy) to boost recruiting...

Not that much of a stretch ...

Bet they'll start asking for his Oscar to be revoked.

Quote
Legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss condemned Hollywood’s new inclusivity standards in strong terms during a recent interview, claiming they make him "vomit."

Dreyfuss, who’s starred in "Jaws," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," and many other classic Hollywood films, blistered the new diversity and inclusion guidelines that will be implemented at the Academy Awards starting next year.

The guidelines must be adhered to by any film in the running for a "Best Picture" Oscar.

Quote
The actor continued, claiming that such guidelines stifle creativity and risk. "And what are we risking? Are we really risking hurting people’s feelings? You can’t legislate that? And you have to let life be life."

Quote
Dreyfuss further claimed he doesn’t believe any group in society today that should be given special treatment. He said, "And I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s a minority or a majority in the country that has to be catered to like that."

Let the stoning begin!

So any opinion that makes a tranny or a racial minority "feel unsafe" is a horrible, violent, felony hate crime. But if some white chick sees a naked dude in the girls' shower, or gets slapped around on the subway, she's being "fragile."

And as a tangent, as we have discussed this before, and I get it that maybe we don't know the full situation, or people are afraid of (like the Marine) being arrested if they step into a situation. But when a woman pleads "help me" with this look on her face, sorry, I'm stepping in, even if I get arrested. I couldn't live with myself if I did nothing:

Actress states that all three of her children are "queer". If there is science to "queerness" and gender fluidity at birth, as the lgbts claim, then all three of her children being "queer" has to be, statistically, highly improbable. Social (or perhaps parental) pressure though, would make it much more probable.

In discussing the death of Jordan Neely on a NYC Subway after he threatened multiple folks on the train and three bystanders stepped in to stop him, the NY Times unironically opines that a bystander may be morally obligated to step in if they see someone being a danger to others:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/17/nyregion/jordan-neely-killing-bystanders-nyc.html

Quote
During a wave of heated protests near and inside the Broadway-Lafayette Street subway station where the F train was sitting when Mr. Penny choked Mr. Neely, some demonstrators focused on those who merely watched.

Arrest “everyone that was on that train,” read one protester’s sign. “Love and protect your fellow man. Don’t move here if you’re scared of your neighbors,” read another. It added: “If you watch someone choke and attack/kill another, you are complicit. You are responsible.”

A plus-size TikToker is arguing that airlines should make plane aisles wider to accommodate larger passengers, calling the current layout “discrimination.”

The woman, who posts to the platform as Big Curvy Olivia, shared a video this week showing herself struggling to traverse a United Airlines plane, having to turn sideways as she walked past the rows of seats.

“Honestly, it’s discrimination that they can’t build wider aisles in airplanes 2023,” she wrote on the clip, which has landed about 700,000 views.

 Good Mother of God.  Maybe she should check with UPS about renting a cargo 747 or walk.

She's not curvy, she's a blob. From the video, next she'll be complaining about why they don't make swimming pools that keep all the water from flying out when she jumps in. Does she have anything to say about passenger cars?

Also, why do I have to duck my head in planes? They should just have Antonov make all passenger planes so that they can have 5' wide aisles and 8' overheads and everyone gets a lazyboy as a seat and we can all then pay $4000 to fly from LA to NYC.

The committee voted to allow the church to rent school facilities on a month-to-month basis after the pastor had told the committee that a month-to-month lease would not work.

Quote
In contemporary parlance, to “educate” oneself means allowing intellectually and morally stunted clowns — literally, in this case — to bully you. Because LGBT activists, like BLM activists, never need to be “educated” about anything. They have achieved enlightenment.

No, it’s the slack-jawed yokels who cling to thousands of years of intellectual and theological tradition who need lessons from the geniuses who spend Easter Sunday dressed in Virgin Mary drag, passing out condoms on a 13-stop bar crawl mocking the Stations of the Cross. The Dodgers are merely celebrating diversity by sponsoring a group that simulates sex scenes on crucifixes. Why are you fanatics starting another culture war?

The Dodgers had initially failed to educate themselves about “the lifesaving work” the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence “have done tirelessly for decades.” I mean, it’s not as if Catholics are out there spending tens of billions on charity every year, funding hospitals, adoption agencies, and a slew of other causes. They should probably hit up the drag queen nuns for some advice. What do the real ones know about charity?

Really, though, the Dodgers’ decision to include the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in their Pride Night also makes perfect sense. Far from being transgressive or shocking, they represent the state religion far better than any other order.

I'm not a Catholic, but this is how I feel about a lot of stuff non-Christians have to say about moral, social, or especially religious issues. Joe Rogan, for example...

Yeah, the "bully" sounds like she's in her 20's ... so more like an abusive adult than a child being a bully.
I was bullied by an 18 yr old that kept on getting left back and was still in the seventh grade, I finally had to stab him with a pen or a pencil - it was amazing to see him cry after months of bullying - but the teacher gave him some good advice "leave him alone or he will stab you again" or something to that effect  :rofl:

A City of Hollywood spokesperson confirmed 9 people had been shot.

It started with an altercation between two groups, which escalated to shots being fired, according to Hollywood officials.

One person of interest has been detained and police are currently looking for a second individual.

From a Washington Post hit piece on home schooling:

Quote
At a time when home education was still a fringe phenomenon, the Bealls had grown up in the most powerful and ideologically committed faction of the modern home-schooling movement. That movement, led by deeply conservative Christians, saw home schooling as a way of life — a conscious rejection of contemporary ideas about biology, history, gender equality and the role of religion in American government.

A conscious rejection of biology and history - doesn't that sound a lot like the transgenderism and 1619 garbage they're pushing in public schools? Not to mention all the times public schools have been caught violating first-amendment religious rights (speaking of rejecting contemporary ideas about religion & government).

Over decades, they have eroded state regulations, ensuring that parents who home-school face little oversight in much of the country. More recently, they have inflamed the nation’s culture wars, fueling attacks on public-school lessons about race and gender with the politically potent language of “parental rights.”

But what should be a moment of triumph for conservative Christian home-schoolers has been undermined by an unmistakable backlash: the desertion and denunciations of the very children they said they were saving.

Former home-schoolers have been at the forefront of those arguing for greater oversight of home schooling, forming the nonprofit Coalition for Responsible Home Education to make their case.

I don't claim to know much about home-schooling, and maybe the CRHE has some good policy proposals, (https://responsiblehomeschooling.org/advocacy/) for all I know. But it is telling that the WaPo characterizes them as asking for oversight, while parents' complaints about what the public schools are doing to their own children are referred to as "attacks."

Christina did not describe on Instagram how perplexed she and Aaron had been by a ritual that the other parents seemed to understand; how she had tried, in unwitting defiance of school rules, to accompany Aimee inside, earning a gentle rebuke from the principal.

"oversight" is a loaded word.  Asking the kids to pass a test to get a diploma (or equivalent) is one thing.  I think they want home inspections and forced curriculum. 

Of course, they are assuming that the public schools are teaching the kids and assuming the home school parents are not.

They aren't stupid.  They know that if they are going to abort or sterilize their children, they are going to need unfettered access to other children to ensure their philosophy goes forward.

From their website:  "Since our founding, scores of homeschool alumni have come forward with stories of abuse or educational neglect, "

Scores . . . out of many how many millions of homeschooled kids? I wonder how that compares to publik skuul alumni who experienced abuse or educational neglect. I remember a fairly recent story about a group of schools in Baltimore with ZERO students passing basic math proficiency:

On the other hand, Jacobson claimed she was walking away when she was shot. Just as she was leaving, she says Harvey came out of a barn on the property, holding a gun.

On Thursday, Kron 4 reported that local police confirmed that three masked individuals carrying firearms mugged a judge heading into work. Per a local Fox affiliate, the victim was Judge Kevin Murphy. The individuals took his “personal belongings,” according to police. The alleged crime occurred at 8:50 a.m. local at a parking garage located right outside of the René C. Davidson Courthouse building in Alameda County.

I guess we shouldn't feel too bad for the judge.

Unfortunately for the judge, Price’s track record suggests she will go lenient on his assailants if they are ever caught.

Price, a progressive who has been supported by George Soros-funded groups in the past, has done a miserable job since coming into office earlier this year. She believes in a soft-on-crime approach, often lowering punishments for violent offenders while showing disregard for victims.

Quote
“The Congressional staff member who was accompanying the group knew the rules, yet lied to the officers multiple times about having permission from various offices. The staffer put both the choir and our officers, who were simply doing their jobs, in an awkward and embarrassing position.”

Maybe someone will pick up on this and pay for the kids to go sing it a sportsball game somewhere - they do a better job than some of the "professionals" I have heard.

She said the quiet part out loud.  The administration would rather see kids killed in the womb rather than chancing them being killed outside the womb.
Depends on where they see abortion rights stopping.  How old is the fetus before an abortion cannot be performed?  I get to thinking some of these people don't see any sort of limit on that (meaning infanticide or murder).

A large number of people believe in abortion until birth. Several US states have no gestational age limit to abortion.  CO and AK have had abortion legal until birth for some time now.  MN just eliminated any restrictions on abortion.  MN also eliminated a legal requirement to try and preserve the life of children who survive abortion.

Thank you, I am aware that there are a variety of opinions out there.  I'm saying that by the claimed standards of someone like these doctors who appear to believe that sex and gender are independent, claiming expertise based on a sex-specific practice is self-defeating.  If their expertise is relevant, then "woman" is related to "female".  They are essentially saying:  "I know a woman when I see one because I specialize in female anatomy!"

If sex and gender are, as they seem to believe, independent then just because they know about biological females they have no relevant expertise regarding women.

I think that the degree of connection can be debated, but no one that is intellectually honest can reasonably claim that all forms of gender expression are decoupled from biological sex.

The various studies on societies that have maximized egalitarian gender social policies and the outcome on population level preferences have pretty much squashed the "They are completely separate" arguments.

I am sitting in the back of the conference room watching all these high-priced labor lawyers arguing this and I think that we (the employer) are damned if we do and damned if we don't. I am sure the legal bills on both sides are up to the tens of thousands by now.

To be fair, there probably is a place for medical intervention for someone suffering from massive and fundamental delusions stemming from mental illness and leading to self-harm.  By which I mean addressing the underlying condition where possible, and using management strategies to reduce those harms where it is not.

The medical industry has largely adopted actively encouraging self harm as a standard of care (at least regarding a subset of delusions).  That does not strike me as a good thing for the patients, although it apparently has benefits for the doctors and hospitals who profit from it. 

I wonder if it will likewise eventually become profitable to "affirm" other psychological conditions that lead to self harm.  "Yes miss, despite weighing only 85 pounds, if you feel like you're fat you should continue to starve yourself.  I'm happy to install a lap band and proscribe you diet pills!"

When medical professionals start asking me if I've ever been pregnant or if I menstruate, I'll probably give up on Western medicine and start seeing a witch doctor.

A local surgeon specializing in gender reassignment has come under heavy fire recently, as his critics complain he is still stubbornly only offering "male" or "female" as options.

"This doctor is so behind the times," said Trixie Sunbreeze, an LGBTQ+ activist who has identified as 38 different genders in the last 6 weeks. "How can you present yourself as a friend to the trans community when you hatefully only allow people to become males or females? As if those are the only two genders! BIGOT!"

In fairness, and also partially addressing Cordex's point: Though I only go to the doctor once or twice a year, I have yet to run into any "gender" stuff. I suppose that is more likely to happen in places like Seattle and other big blue cities.

I understand people will still go through with these surgeries, and that the medical industry, following the Hippocratic Oath, will treat them, physically and psychologically. I just don't want to see the standard "lowest common denominator" approach, where I'll have to fill out ridiculous paperwork regarding biological processes my body does not have, or have any of my medical treatment affected, simply so that 1% of the population can feel validated.

A Democratic member of a Maryland city council blasted Muslim children as on the side of "White supremacists" after they spoke out against sexuality discussions and materials in classrooms during a heated school board meeting Tuesday evening.

"This issue has unfortunately does put… some Muslim families on the same side of an issue as White supremacists and outright bigots," said Democrat Kristin Mink of Montgomery County Council for District 5. "I would not put you in the same category as those folks, although, you know, it's complicated because they're falling on the same side of this particular issue."

Funny how they've no such qualms about treating other people's moral convictions as bigotry. When my religious beliefs are bigotry, but Muslims get a little extra consideration, that must be an example of the Christian privilege (https://news.yahoo.com/college-professor-displays-christian-privilege-134828333.html) folks have been talking about.

A Wisconsin county is considering a resolution declaring sanctuary status for self-identified "transgender and nonbinary individuals," including children.

Board supervisors in Dane County, which includes the state capital of Madison, will vote on a resolution "declaring Dane County a sanctuary for trans and nonbinary individuals," at the county board meeting this Thursday after it was referred to the executive committee earlier this month.

"In this hostile environment, some cities and counties across the country are taking steps to support and protect trans and nonbinary individuals," the resolution states. "Dane County values its transgender and nonbinary residents and vigorously opposes measures that would allow legal violence toward trans people in accessing gender-affirming care or expression."

The resolution states the county’s position that it’s a "fundamental right" for children to access sex-reassignment drugs and procedures.

And what measure are they talking about that "would allow legal violence toward trans people in accessing gender-affirming care or expression"

Probably an intentional mischaracterization of laws/proposals to regulate or ban transgender procedures or grooming.  As we know, the Left is trans-honest.



Aaaand now we have something called "Drag Floyd," which is the theory that TPTB are hoping to provoke "anti-trans" violence. Plus, Biden reportedly dispatching federal agents to safeguard the precious pride events.

Not sure "Drag Floyd" makes sense, though. If Antifa tried to have another summer of love*, could they really do it on that basis? A lot of the people that showed up for BLM riots just wouldn't be interested in trans issues.

The portmanteau of 'trans' and 'ANTIFA' is exactly what you'd expect — far-left transgender activists willing to intimidate, harass and even use violence to advance their radical new ideas about gender.

Much like ANTIFA, they're not a formal group of card-carrying members, with the term 'Trantifa' coined on social media to highlight the strong transgender presence within the anarchist outfit.

So-called Trantifa members are a small group of trans activists on the edges of the movement who post angry rhetoric online and gather at rallies.

UN investigator Reem Alsalem told DailyMail.com 'screaming trans activists' were a worrying and 'increasing trend' that must be tackled.

Students at Marshall Simonds Middle School in Burlington, Massachusetts, were asked to wear rainbow-colored shirts to celebrate Pride Month on June 2, but a preplanned protest broke out with students tearing up Pride flag stickers and chanting: 'USA are my pronouns.'

Decked out in red, white and blue, the students destroyed the decorations lining the hallway the student organization Spectrum Group distributed, including a quote from American playwright Tennessee Williams, signage saying the school was a 'safe space' and 'equality for everyone' decorations.

'I was shocked and horrified,' Nila Almstrom, a parent of an LGBT student, said at a town hall meeting about the protest.

When people talk about the possibility of another civil war, I used to always point out that the left-right divide isn’t nearly as neatly separated into two different regions of the country, compared to the situation in 1860.

'That number is rising and demonstrates a trend that could be dangerous for service members, their families, and the readiness of the force as a whole,' the general added.

Burt explained that in some cases, the most qualified candidate for a transfer or promotion might be passed over, if the laws in the state of the new posting could negatively impact them or their families.

Ok, "introduced" which is a meaningless number if you can't follow up with how many passed into law.

'I consider their job performance and relevant experience first. However, I also look at their personal circumstances, and their family is also an important factor.

Yep.  This quote appears and says the bills "'attack the LGBTQ+ community'" yet the first example below was Florida that only addressed adult sexual content allowed in school libraries.
Quote
According to a report last week from the Human Rights Campaign, state legislatures have this year introduced more than 525 bills introduced that 'attack the LGBTQ+ community'.

The group, which is the nation's largest organization devoted to LGBTQ rights, said more than 220 of the bills concerned the transgender community, and more than 70 have become law.

They also refer to attacking transgender children which tells me a lot of what they are referring to are bills aimed at restricting transgender surgery and prescription drugs given to children.  That is the kind of misinformation and BS that pisses off a lot of people about politics.

Blockbuster Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has been pulled from cinema listings in more than a dozen Muslim-majority countries after a 'Protect Trans Kids' poster was spotted in one frame of the trailer.

The poster, seen in Gwen Stacy's bedroom, sparked concerned in the United Arabs Emirates, according to Variety. It is now preventing the new Spider Man film's release a week before it was supposed to hit the big screen.

The first movie in the series - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse - did debut in the country, grossing $1.7million.

However, it is not uncommon for Muslim-majority countries to cancel film screenings due to LGBT+ themes. Earlier this year, the Disney Pixar's Lightyear was pulled from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Malaysia due to a same-sex kiss.

Meanwhile Christians are told to suck it.

A total of 21 blue/purple states have a negative net migration rate compared to 5 red states. 
On the other hand, 18 red states have a net positive migration rate compared to 7 blue/purple states.

WILLOWBROOK, Ill. (AP) — At least 23 people were shot, one fatally, early Sunday during a gathering in a suburban Chicago parking lot that drew hundreds of people to celebrate Juneteenth, authorities said.

TV news video showed the strip mall lot in Willowbrook filled with debris and police tape, about 20 miles (32.1 kilometers) southwest of Chicago. The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office described it as a “peaceful gathering” to celebrate Juneteenth that suddenly turned violent as a number of people fired multiple shots into the crowd.

“We know of 22 victims injured and one victim killed by gunfire. Several other victims were also injured while attempting to flee the area,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Authorities didn’t immediately release the conditions of those injured.

So let’s get this straight (pun intended): the guy is a felon, gets elected, resigns, goes to jail, gets in trouble for threatening to bomb a hospital, is arrested for lying to police, is arrested twice for stalking including a couple of months before an election…

Did I get that right? Hmm.

Let’s put him back in the legislature! And so the voters did in 2022.

Shockingly, he had to resign again. And now he is arrested for child porn charges. Who could have seen it coming? Total surprise.

Apparently nuclear weapons are gendered.....or something. My head hurts.

Quote
The publication argued, "The queer lens prioritizes the rights and well-being of people over the abstract idea of national security, and it challenges the mainstream understanding of nuclear weapons."

It then appeared to categorized established deterrence discourse for being viewed as far too masculine and "rational."

"Queer theory also identifies how the nuclear weapons discourse is gendered: Nuclear deterrence is associated with ‘rationality’ and ‘security,’ while disarmament and justice for nuclear weapon victims are coded as ‘emotion’ and a lack of understanding of the ‘real’ mechanics of security," the publication claimed.

The article then cited how "many lesbian" members of the "Common Women’s Peace Camp,"  nearly two decade protest against the storage of US nuclear weapons in the UK, which  attention to the gendered nature of nuclear weapons

On a recent afternoon, while running errands before I had to pick up my kids from school, I froze in the orange-juice aisle of a big-box store. So many different brands lay before me: Minute Maid, Simply, Tropicana, Dole, Florida’s Natural, Sunny D—not to mention the niche organic labels. And each brand offered juices with various configurations of pulp, vitamins, and concentrate. The sheer plenitude induced a kind of paralysis: Overwhelmed by the choices on offer, I simply could not make one. I left the store without any orange juice.

Anyone who calls Sunny-D orange juice is asking to be slapped

An organization at the Seattle Pride parade hosted a booth on Sunday encouraging kids to throw toy bricks at pictures of notable Republicans.

In a video captured by Katie Daviscourt of The Post Millennial, a man cheers and converses with a young child who repeatedly attempts to throw a plush toy brick into the middle of a display painted to look like a wall.

The center of the wall has a large hole with a sign that reads "Basket of Deplorables" and features pictures of notable Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. and Rep. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

The makeshift sign also includes pictures of Republican-appointed Supreme Court Justices such as Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.

Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont signed a bill on Monday that confirmed, "on every official communication or form of a state agency relevant to the Latin American community, or communication by a state employee on behalf of a state agency relevant to such community, such communication or form shall use the terms ‘Latino’, ‘Latina’ and ‘Latine’ to refer to such community."

"Latine" has recently emerged as a gender-neutral alternative for non-binary and transgender Hispanic citizens in response to the controversy surrounding the term "Latinx."

The Oregon Department of Human Services has attracted criticism for stating the preferred pronouns, rather than sex, of three missing children. 

The brothers Brantley Hinson, 7, Logan Hinson, 4, and River Hinson, two, went missing on June 17 and authorities said they had reason to believe they were at risk, KTVL reported.

The ODHS' Child Welfare Division appealed for public help to find the missing children who they speculated could be in Oregon, Idaho, or Alaska, and provided descriptions of the children.

In the identifying descriptions the division included 'he/him' pronouns alongside other descriptions such as age and hair color, a move that was dubbed 'unbelievable'.

I'm sure I'm missing some 3-D chess move, but it sure seems that the left is shooting themselves in the foot. Ever since the tranny dust up went into high gear, we suddenly find that evil white conservative people are aligned with mainstream Muslims, Armenians, traditional hispanic and black people, and others who believe in the separation of children from kiddie diddlers.

Soon the left will only have white, DINK, vegan, self-loathers who read the New Yorker in their camp, as they continue to alienate everyone with a modicum of common sense.  :laugh:

US health officials were criticized today for advocating that trans women can breastfeed — without highlighting the health risks to the baby.

Several information pages on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website appear to endorse 'chestfeeding' — a term used to describe feeding an infant milk directly from the breast by trans and non-binary parents.

One section, titled 'Health Equity Considerations', claims 'an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed.'

Apparently men can be given drugs to produce milk but that doesn't make it any less creepy.

Quote
Biological men who transition to women can produce breastmilk by taking several hormone drugs that mimic the changes a woman's body undergoes during the late stages of pregnancy and shortly after the birth of a child.

Not only can an employee get fired for trying to stop a shoplifter they can also be fired for just filming a shoplifter committing the crime
Quote

A King Soopers grocery store worker slammed the franchise for firing him after he filmed shoplifters brazenly stealing over $500 worth of detergent from a Colorado store.

Santino Burrola sprang into action when a group of thieves targeted the store in Arapahoe County, Colorado, on June 18, filming a now-viral video of the crime in action.

He chased the group out of the store and filmed while they unloaded countless cartons into their car, even peeling off a license plate cover to help track them down.

But his actions allegedly breached the store's policies on confronting shoplifters, and Burrola was fired on the spot after a meeting with his union rep.

Just to ratchet up the creepyness, It's a cocktail of hormones and anti-psycotics to stimulate secretion of ........ something from male breasts.

Drugs used: Domperidone, Haloperidol, Risperidone, Thorazine, Fluphenazine, Metoclopramide, Prolactin, and Progesterone.

I know mothers that changed their hand cream while breastfeeding out of concern of chemicals in their milk, much less take that Long Island Iced Tea of pharmaceuticals.

Fanged metal teeth, skin implants, a split tongue, and eccentric tattoos are just some of the unique changes Marcelo "B-Boy" De Souza Ribeiro has made to his body over the years.

As such, he has been dubbed the "most modified man in the world" and has spent an estimated £29,000 on his quest to look like an "alien devil" - but he's not finished transforming his body just yet.

The 40-year-old dad, who believes 98 percent of his body has been altered, has recently had his hands tweaked, removing his index finger and splitting his hand in half.

This jogged my memory.  I heard a comment last week regarding Hollywood.  They said the woke/trans stuff is not playing well and losing them money.  They expect to see a transition over to environmental/climate change topics instead.  So we should expect to see those topics pushed over the next couple years more than the trans stuff as new shows hit screens/TV's.

I tend to agree that amputation seems pretty drastic, but they did completely encase their hands in cement and whatever "industrial epoxy" they got a hold of.  Depending on what that was I could see bones being broken getting it off, or possibly even some pretty bad damage to skin/nerves depending on what was in there.

I think they are well past a couple layers of skin removal just judging by the picture.

Disney had announced they were re-envisioning the dwarves as "magical creatures" to "avoid reinforcing stereotypes" after criticism of the original depictions by "Game of Thrones" actor Peter Dinklage, who has dwarfism.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed the "American right-wing" for Canadian Muslims' opposition to gender ideology and LGBTQ curriculum in K-12 education.

The video was of Trudeau speaking with the Muslim community last week at a Calgary mosque – Baitun Nur Mosque – after hundreds of protesters rallied against gender ideology in schools, chanting "Leave our kids alone."

The frustration reached a boiling point after audio surfaced of an Edmonton Public Schools teacher berating Muslim students for skipping school in order to avoid pride events.

Landscaper fatally runs over homeless woman sleeping in California park with lawnmower
https://nypost.com/2023/07/16/california-woman-christine-chavez-dead-after-being-runover-by-lawnmower/

Quote
A homeless mother sleeping in a California park was killed last week after she was run over by a lawnmower — and investigators left “chunks” of her body strewn across the grass, her family claims.

Christine Chavez, 27, was lying in the tall grass of Beard Brook Park in Modesto around noon on July 8 when an employee riding a John Deere tractor with a pull-behind mower swept the area.

The unidentified worker said he didn’t see the sleeping woman until he “noticed a body in the grass he had already made a pass through,” Modesto police said.

The employee called 911, but Chavez was pronounced dead at the scene.

I am very doubtful the woman still looked like the pictures after living as a transient for 3 or 4 years.  I am also curious if they can confirm if she was dead already or not.

The article says they want ordinances changed and "Justice".  Is it legal to mulch homeless folk in Modesto?  It seems like a tragic accident.  What changes are they looking for?  I also note that her parents apparently live close enough to the park to go pick up skull fragments, but too far away for her to sleep on their couch.

I noticed that.  I assume she was a drug abuser and they either kicked her out or she didn't want to live there.  Of course, they are talking about that and the stupid media won't even ask the question.

I am, in principle, okay with no-cash bail.  I tend to not like that someone can end up in debt both hiring a lawyer and paying for bail bond in the event they have to defend themselves.  However, I am not sure I know how to manage that.  Sure seems like a lot of major cities just let everyone out immediately regardless if they are committing violent crimes or not.  Then they might schedule a trial a year later.  At the very least, I think bail should be capped at a max amount that is in the range of affordability without a bail bondsman.  Is $10K too much of a stretch?   

I admit I am not all that familiar with how bail is determined.  It seems like it can get sky high to the point of absurdity especially in high profile crimes.

I'm in the, "They're doing the right thing for the wrong reasons" camp.

We need to figure out how to get people speedy trails, and we need to fix the court system to keep boomers who took selfies on 06JAN from sitting in jail for a year with no bail. I don't know how to do any of that.

Maybe we should rethink how many bullshit victimless crimes we clog the courts up with so that we can actually provide fair but speedy trials.
I think maybe a forced time limit (1 to 3 months maybe) where charges are automatically dropped if there was no trial.  The prosecutors have to justify the delay with some sort of high bar if a delay is allowed since it would violate the rights of the accused.  I am just thinking that might force prosecutors and courts also to focus on the crimes they can prove.  Force police to complete investigations more quickly.  Force public labs to get evidence processed more quickly. 

IMO, I don't think we need to figure out how it should be done, we just need to put our foot down and force the change.  IMO, it is an injustice not to.  I think it can be done myself. 

Another related idea would be to cap bail at a very reasonable amount and outlaw bail bonds.  Makes sure bail is returned when you show up rather than being confiscated to pay court fees, etc. 

Of course, my experience with the criminal justice system is all hearsay from news and articles.  Someone else might have better ideas.

The comments are all about how, "He had it coming", which he did. However the three women didn't know that. He could have been an innocent person who fell off the bridge, and those three fat pigs just stood there eating their ice cream. These types of clips really make me loathe big cities, especially NYC, where this is considered "normal" (all the way back to much of what Seinfeld was based on). And when someone does help, they get arrested. Bizarro world.

I think the guy with the camera was in on the robbery, or at least was supposed to be.  He was running his mouth way too much. 

Robber got what he had coming.  The 7-11 is probably a franchise store, so I think the corporate office will stay out of it rather than firing the employees (they likely *can't* fire the employees).

I remember that - the peta people ultimately decided that splashing red paint on elderly women wearing furs was safer than doing the same to bikers wearing leathers. (On the other hand, I remember when a peta activist assaulted and injured an elderly woman in MSP and didn't realize the young man nearby was her victim's son.

News article is from March but I only just now came across it.
Bill is currently in committee

Not charging anyone under 25 with murder while they were trying to commit another crime, what could go wrong?

Quote
Maryland Democrats are pushing a bill in the state legislature that would prevent anyone under the age of 25 from being charged with felony murder.

Democratic Del. Charlotte Cruchfield introduced into the Maryland General Assembly the Youth Accountability and Safety Act, which would prohibit a person younger than 25 at the time of the offense from being convicted of first-degree murder under the state's felony murder provisions.

Quote
Under those provisions, murder is classified as being in the first degree if it was committed during the perpetration or attempted perpetration of several specified crimes, such as rape, arson, robbery, burglary, carjacking, and other serious offenses.

But with Cruchfield's proposal, which has the support of several Democratic co-sponsors, anyone under age 25 who murders someone while trying to commit one of these other crimes couldn't be charged with first-degree murder — a crime that in Maryland carries life imprisonment with or without the possibility of parole.

^^^According to what I just saw on the NBC network news, the US did not pay anything from US assets.  The US released $ 6 billion of oil revenue paid by South Korea to Iran for oil.  That $ 6 billion was tied up in US sanctions against Iran. So it is not like the US wrote a $ 6 billion check to Iran.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/iran-releases-four-americans-from-evin-prison-b396ee09

From the article

Iran has freed five Americans from a notorious Tehran prison with the understanding that five of its own prisoners and billions of dollars in frozen revenue from energy sales would be released in return, U.S. and Iranian officials said.

The official Islamic Republic News Agency said more than $10 billion would be released from accounts in South Korea and Iraq, and that under the agreement, the Americans wouldn’t be permitted to leave Iran until the funds become available in Iranian accounts in Qatar. A U.S. official dismissed  Iran’s claim, saying that only the $6 billion in funds held in South Korea was under discussion. The official added that in exchange for having these Americans move to house arrest, no Iranian prisoners in the U.S. have been released.

“Iran will not be receiving any sanctions relief, and in any instance where we would engage in such efforts to bring Americans home from Iran, Iran’s own funds would be used and transferred to restricted accounts such that the monies can only be used for humanitarian purposes…permitted under our sanctions,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters on Thursday. “We will continue to enforce all of our sanctions. We will continue to push back on Iran’s destabilizing activities in the region and beyond,” he added.

It's late & I'm tired, so maybe I'm not reading that right.  But, seems that there is in fact some "sanctions relief" in that Iran's getting $6 billion that they otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

Yeah, right, they're going to restrict the usage of those funds to uses "permitted under our sanctions,” .  Sure they will.  They'll take the existing funds from a "permitted" use, transfer those funds to an non-permitted use, then use the new money to fund the "permitted" use.  Or just skip the paperwork shuffle, 'cause that's all it is.

Now we have neopronouns

Yeah....

Quote
And then there are neopronouns (“new” pronouns), gender-neutral or nonbinary pronouns that are distinct from the common she, he and they. Neopronouns include terms like “xe” and “em,” and some of them even date back several centuries, when they were introduced by writers as a solution for referring to subjects without assuming gender. Now, they’re also commonly used by nonbinary and trans people.

She's the director of mental health. Yeah.... She's a *expletive deleted*ing loon

Quote
A California hospital executive and professor claimed children can identify as a mythology-inspired creature and claimed that this category of children love mermaids, according to a presentation reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Diane Ehrensaft, a self-identified "feminist" who supports a "gender revolution," is the director of mental health and chief psychologist at the UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital gender development center. She is also a professor at UCSF School of Medicine. The developmental and clinical psychologist specializes in pediatric "gender-affirmative care for transgender and gender-expansive patients."

Her biography paged reflected that Ehrensaft focuses her research on how genders before puberty develop as well as the mental health effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which are part of chemical sex changes, on children.

Ehrensaft made what some may consider fringe claims about gender ideology, including that kids can identify as "gender hybrids" which include a mythology-inspired creature called a "gender Minotaur," and that kids can change their genders by season and can have different identities depending on their location.

The American Medical Association (AMA) has suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant.

Arguments were made to reduce the cost of the surgery in its Journal of Ethics issue in June titled Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care.

How about a big fat NO!

This was the only video I could find mentioning this today.  I saw it mentioned in a number of places.  A TikTok video that seemed to make marriage and kids look like a bad life choice.  Lots of Chinese stuff in the background and it looks like it was filmed in China.  This video is saying the woman might be Chinese and video was altered to make her look American, but that is just speculation.

TikTok challenges . . .  :facepalm:

I did a lot of dumb stuff when I was a kid, and maybe it's a good thing that there wasn't YouTube or TikTok or even the internet back then . . . but EVEN AT MY WORST, I was never as downright stupid and oblivious to the consequences as so many of today's kids seem to be. I knew that bragging about something "bad" that I got away with was a great way to NOT get away with it. (FWIW, I was generally law abiding, but never had a lot of respect for mere rules.)

Well, and "city" is a pretty broad term. There are cities and there are cities, and everyone has different preferences. Were I to move back to a city, it wouldn't be a place like Chicago or NYC. There are literally thousands of mid-sized cities that are relatively crime free with plenty of cultural and other amenities. Of course plenty of people want to live in places like Chicago, or they wouldn't be as ginormous as they are.

Plus the more people who like cities like Chicago and move there, the less of them that I will have to put up with elsewhere.  =D

White people are bad and if it's not equitable burn it down.
I suppose that means white people among other things.

Quote
    Casey Menninger is a diversity teacher in Jefferson County Public School District's Foster K-8 school. Menninger was involved in crafting the curriculum for other teachers to present to their classes.

    Menninger wanted classes to be focused on bad things done by White people.

    "I will have a quick presentation for 8th grade in the next couple weeks… I just want them to work on some of the communication skills and understand some terrible things White people did," he said in an email dated January 2022.

    His emails, obtained by a public record request, showed that staff were not completely on board with his equity class, and they were "talking trash" about him.

    "The meetings are very difficult," he said in an email to dated August 2021. I am trying to impact change in a positive way, but it is very hard to not want to burn things down that I don't find equitable."

    He then blasted staff for not having an "equity lens."

    "I am learning a lot of restraint. I don't think anyone else on the team has that equity lens, so it is challenging to impact change where they don't see a need. I am also trying to learn how to respond to emotional outbursts from adults. It is difficult. I don't like it."

A Marxist teacher from Colorado, who called for a "FORCEFUL Cultural Revolution" against "Whiteness," was voted in by Democrats to fill an open state House of Representatives seat Saturday.

Tim Hernández was selected as a state representative for the Denver area on Saturday by a committee of Democrats tasked with filling the vacant seat after its incumbent, Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, was elected to the Denver City Council.

Hernandez worked at Aurora West Preparatory Academy in the Aurora Public Schools District, according to its website from May. Their staff list has since been scrubbed, and it was unclear if he continues to work in the Colorado district. A sign in his classroom called for "Dismantl[ing] White systems."

"Excavators were used to excavate the original gap of the ancient Great Wall into a large gap, so that the excavator could pass through the gap, which caused irreversible damage to the integrity of the Ming Great Wall and the safety of cultural relics," police said in a statement.

That section is known as the 32nd section of the Great Wall.
Probably a better view what that section looks like. Not sure the photo is of the same section but should be similar. Basically brick walls filled in with dirt. Some sections are in better condition than others

(https://cdnph.upi.com/svc/sv/upi/5841693896311/2023/1/cceeffcef0ac0f156f2bcf24d2f9e9aa/2-workers-arrested-for-digging-shortcut-through-Great-Wall-of-China.jpg)

From wiki

Quote
Before the use of bricks, the Great Wall was mainly built from rammed earth, stones, and wood. During the Ming, however, bricks were heavily used in many areas of the wall, as were materials such as tiles, lime, and stone. The size and weight of the bricks made them easier to work with than earth and stone, so construction quickened. Additionally, bricks could bear more weight and endure better than rammed earth. Stone can hold under its own weight better than brick, but is more difficult to use. Consequently, stones cut into rectangular shapes were used for the foundation, inner and outer brims, and gateways of the wall. Battlements line the uppermost portion of the vast majority of the wall, with defensive gaps a little over 30 cm (12 in) tall, and about 23 cm (9.1 in) wide. From the parapets, guards could survey the surrounding land.[59]

Sticky rice mortar, consisting of sticky rice soup mixed with slaked lime, was extensively used to hold bricks together;[60][61] no human bones or body parts were ever incorporated into the mortar or any part of the wall, contrary to what a legend states.[62][63] Communication between the army units along the length of the Great Wall, including the ability to call reinforcements and warn garrisons of enemy movements, was of high importance. Signal towers were built upon hill tops or other high points along the wall for their visibility. Wooden gates could be used as a trap against those going through. Barracks, stables, and armories were built near the wall's inner surface.[59]

I was completely unaware of this situation. Apparently we have just paid a $6 billion ransom to Iran to release some hostages.

https://twitchy.com/brettt/2023/08/10/republicans-pounce-on-biden-admin-for-releasing-6-billion-to-iran-for-hostages-n2386177

^^^According to what I just saw on the NBC network news, the US did not pay anything from US assets.  The US released $ 6 billion of oil revenue paid by South Korea to Iran for oil.  That $ 6 billion was tied up in US sanctions against Iran. So it is not like the US wrote a $ 6 billion check to Iran.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/iran-releases-four-americans-from-evin-prison-b396ee09

From the article

Iran has freed five Americans from a notorious Tehran prison with the understanding that five of its own prisoners and billions of dollars in frozen revenue from energy sales would be released in return, U.S. and Iranian officials said.

The official Islamic Republic News Agency said more than $10 billion would be released from accounts in South Korea and Iraq, and that under the agreement, the Americans wouldn’t be permitted to leave Iran until the funds become available in Iranian accounts in Qatar. A U.S. official dismissed  Iran’s claim, saying that only the $6 billion in funds held in South Korea was under discussion. The official added that in exchange for having these Americans move to house arrest, no Iranian prisoners in the U.S. have been released.

Iran will not be receiving any sanctions relief, and in any instance where we would engage in such efforts to bring Americans home from Iran, Iran’s own funds would be used and transferred to restricted accounts such that the monies can only be used for humanitarian purposes…permitted under our sanctions,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters on Thursday. “We will continue to enforce all of our sanctions. We will continue to push back on Iran’s destabilizing activities in the region and beyond,” he added.

About that


Quote
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says his country will use $6 billion in unlocked funds 'wherever we need it' – rejecting a limitation in negotiations with the U.S. that limits the money to 'humanitarian purposes.'

Raisi's comments, in a sit-down with NBC News in Tehran, comes a day after the Biden administration announced the extraordinary deal that would free five detained Americans, while unlocking the funding for Tehran.

In the interview, Raisi told the network's Lester Holt that the needs of the Iranian people would be determined 'by the Iranian government,' after being asked specifically if it would be for humanitarian purposes including food and medicine, in a country hit by crippling inflation amid economic sanctions.

'This money belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and naturally, we will decide – the Islamic Republic of Iran will decide – to spend it wherever we need it. How to spend our money of course, it is under the authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran,' he said.

Pressed by Holt that it could be used for 'more than humanitarian purposes,' he underlined: 'Humanitarian means whatever the Iranian people need, so this money will be budgeted for those needs. And the needs of the Iranian people will be decided and determined by the Iranian government.'

Doesn't mean it won't be used for Humanitarian purposes but this doesn't look good it will

Iranian president laughs at the Biden administration by saying he'll use $6 BILLION from 'hostage' deal on whatever he wants - and not just on humanitarian trade as the US promised

Those churchgoers are not necessarily conservatives.  Lots of leftist churches out there from what I hear. 

IMO, I don't see that quote as endorsement.  Perverse people are going to do perverse things and society has established specific places for that where kids are not supposed to be allowed.  In the "old days", perverse things still existed, but they were on the bad side of town or some other place that normal people didn't go and shunned.

From their website:  "Since our founding, scores of homeschool alumni have come forward with stories of abuse or educational neglect, "

Scores . . . out of many how many millions of homeschooled kids? I wonder how that compares to publik skuul alumni who experienced abuse or educational neglect. I remember a fairly recent story about a group of schools in Baltimore with ZERO students passing basic math proficiency:

 https://foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimore/state-test-results-23-baltimore-schools-have-zero-students-proficient-in-math-jovani-patterson-maryland-comprehensive-assessment-program-maryland-governor-wes-moore

That's ONE public school system from ONE city . . . bet the total of affected children is more than "scores."

Not getting any better

Quote
A slate of Baltimore schools have sparked outrage after zero students passed their state math exams - with almost 75 percent testing at the lowest possible score.

The poor performances came in the latest round of Maryland's state testing, where 13 high schools in the city - a staggering 40 percent - failed to produce a single student with a 'proficient' score in math.
Quote
Some of the city's best-known schools, including Patterson High School, Frederick Douglass, and Reginald F. Lewis, made their way onto the list, while Baltimore City Schools also received $1.6 billion last year from taxpayers.

It was the largest funding the educational authority has ever received, leading to questions over where the money went

Obviously not in improving the kids math scores

This. You will never have the chance to face these people one on one and face to face in a "fair" fight (not that any real fight should work off of fair). Antifa is following the model. You won't see antifa try to firebomb my house, because if I kill them all, local LE will be buying me drinks. If I lived in Seattle, I'd be facing murder charges.

They know where to do their deeds, and the number of those places is growing.

Now in fairness, it must be reported that the old stained glass windows were not religious either, as one might expect in a church. They depicted Civil War-era figures, including from the Confederacy, in an attempt to show reconciliation between the North and South. Those windows were removed several years ago because they were deemed 'offensive.'

But instead of replacing them with imagery celebrating, oh say, God or Christianity, the updated windows celebrate America's new religion of woke.

From the deep voice, I'm going with "transgender" though kids that age are just playing dress up. However, society is getting pretty bad when we let boys beat up girls and then try to hide their identity behind the clothes they wear.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/oregon-middle-school-wont-say-whether-student-filmed-attacking-smaller-girl-transgender

My money is on the girl who got beat up being the one who gets in trouble, since it's coastal Oregon.

Actually, Tualatin is south and just slightly west of Portland.  It's not coastal.  So, to your point, and because it is a lefty enclave close to Portland, it will be even more likely the little girl that got beat up will be the one sanctioned by the school.
I just recently got back from a week long visit with my Dad who lives in Tigard, just north of Tualatin.

When you become a victim of the city you wanted

Quote
Ryan Carson, a social justice advocate who was on a mission to make New York a better place, was stabbed to death on the streets of Crown Heights on Monday.

People who knew Carson, 32, said he dedicated his life to trying to change things for the better.
Ryan Carson, social justice advocate, stabbed to death in Crown Heights
https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/ryan-carson-social-justice-advocate-stabbed-to-death-in-crown-heights/

Quote
Ryan was with his girlfriend when the suspect - wearing a dark colored sweatshirt with his hood up - asked 'What the f**k are you looking at?' before violently stabbing him in the chest.
Quote
In security footage, the assailant can be seen kicking over scooters before turning on the couple.
The attacker can be heard saying 'I'll kill you!' on camera while Carson pleads with him and holds up his hand.
His girlfriend can be heard in the security footage shouting: 'Please, please, please!'
Carson falls over the bench he had been sitting on before the attacker knocks him to the ground and knifes him multiple times.
He then spits on the girlfriend, kicks Carson's body and storms away.

There's been a spate of prominent Lefties and Democrats (in a Venn diagram, the circles would overlap almost perfectly) becoming victims of violent crime over the past year.

I SHOULD say I'm sorry to see it happen.

But I won't, since they're primarily the ones who ENABLE violent crime. Along with a whole host of other societal ills.

I ate at one a few weeks ago in Suphur, LA.  It was actually pretty good.  Just eggs, bacon, and hash browns.  Hard to mess that up.  It didn't look like that location has a crime problem. 

I can understand the security issue, but $25 per hour is pushing it.  However, they can always quit and get a job in a different part of town.

I read a couple of articles on it and didn't see any background info that would justify this punishment.

On a related note, a ten year old Australian autistic girl was suspended for telling a boy not to use the girls restroom. The school policy stated: "behaving in a manner that posed a danger, whether actual, perceived or threatened, to the health, safety, or wellbeing of any person".

You could punish anyone for anything using those criteria, and really, they would make the girl the victim, not the boy whose parents told him he's a girl so they could get lefty points.

I think some on the left see it as gloating, but most of what I saw was either "I told you so" type responses or maybe people pointing out leftists reaping the results of their own policies.  Is that gloating?  Maybe the latter.  Considering many leftists will often deny there is a problem, stores like this at least highlight the issue.

The first time I saw the video I was a bit surprised those two had seemingly zero awareness that guy was walking by.  He seemed a bit sketchy and someone I would have watched out form.  Also, I got the impression the guy intervened in something that was happening just down the street which started the confrontation.  I haven't seen anyone talk about that.

Suspect arrested

And this info
Quote
Dowling was previously described as 'emotionally and mentally disturbed'.

He is understood to work at a school in Clinton Hill and is so unhinged that his own aunt reported him to police two months ago after he broke his girlfriend's belongings in a fight.
So they let him work at a school   :facepalm:

And more info about the victim and his GF

Quote
Carson spearheaded liberal causes like creating supervised drug injection sites across the city.

His girlfriend, according to now locked-down social media profiles, was an avid BLM activist who, among other remarks, used the cop-hating acronym ACAB in some posts.

Their friends say he would consider his killer the 'victim of a broken system' and would want his death to be used to continue advocating for social justice causes.
Yeah....

Oregon high school students won’t have to prove basic mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate from high school until at least 2029, the state Board of Education decided unanimously on Thursday, extending the pause on the controversial graduation requirement that began in 2020.

But leaders at the Oregon Department of Education and members of the state school board said requiring all students to pass one of several standardized tests or create an in-depth assignment their teacher judged as meeting state standards was a harmful hurdle for historically marginalized students, a misuse of state tests and did not translate to meaningful improvements in students’ post high school success.

A top pediatrician has called for child doctors to start calling the vagina a 'front hole' and the penis an 'outie.'

Dr Ilana Sherer, a pediatrician in Dublin, California,  gave a presentation Sunday at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and Exhibition and called for more gender neutral terminology for body parts.

Her proposals, given during a workshop entitled 'Discussing Gender and Sexuality in the Primary Care Office,' included referring to the vagina as an 'innie,' 'front hole,' or 'T-penis' and the clitoris as 'd*ck' or 'd*cklet.'

She also proposed calling breasts 'chest' or 'chesticles.' For male anatomy, Dr Sherer recommended pediatricians call the penis 'outie,' 'junk,' 'strapless,' or 'bits.'
Quote
Some in the medical community have been calling for gender-neutral body terminology for years, recommending 'upper body' for breasts, 'erectile tissue' for penis and 'internal gonads' for ovaries.

They argue it creates a more inclusive space for people who may not identify as one gender or sex and are not comfortable using gender-specific terminology.

In public school kindergarten, we went to school in costume. In Catholic school we didn't dress for Halloween, but there was no condemnation that I remember . . . in one of the early grades, there was an "All Saints Day" pageant & costume contest, celebrated the day after Halloween. Kids were dressed "as saints." My costume was a full suit of armor (cardboard, cut to shape and spray painted silver) with sword and shield - St. George, of course.

It seemed to be a crowd favorite - parents and older siblings being the crowd, of course. Unfortunately the judges were NUNS  [barf] - and they thought otherwise.

In a public school we attended (siblings & I, Mom was a TA), they'd have a parade through the neighborhood with most of the children in costume.  That was ~'62 - '68.

Can't remember when they stopped, it was sometime after my sister (youngest kid by 5 years) graduated, so mid '70's or so.

We don't have other body parts with names, we have tits and boobies but they aren't person specific so let's stop using Lewis and his woodpecker as it can be shaming to him and his descendants. What happened to him in the bird wars does not need to be commemorated with a bird name any longer. ;)

Is there any sort of established common law on this?  Seems to me that assigning liability to bystanders is guaranteed to be blown out of proportion by lawyers going forward.  Most especially if it was just a fight and the victim did not get hurt severely. 

As far as the "did not intervene" part, I am not sure that is a good idea for anyone.  Seems to me that can often result in you getting attacked and the mob watching you now or helping beat you down.  If you are successful at breaking it up, the same people might just sue you for getting involved.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has rolled out a new gender pronoun policy that one Heritage Foundation expert and former HHS official says violates employee rights and will result in firings for "misgendering."

Severino first broke the story on X, formerly Twitter, last week. He wrote that HHS "imposed a transgender pronoun mandate on its employees who will now be forced to deny biological realities with their own words or face firing" and he included a screenshot of an email sent to employees at the department.

I like the idea, as long as we realize that no one can keep that up for more than a few sentences. I doubt even hardline gender-benders can stay consistent with the pronoun games for any length of time. It's just a scam. Like EVs relying on fossil fuels and environmentally questionable mining. Or like anyone trying to pretend there's no absolute truth.

I doubt even hardline gender-benders can stay consistent with the pronoun games for any length of time. It's just a scam. Like EVs relying on fossil fuels and environmentally questionable mining. Or like anyone trying to pretend there's no absolute truth.
That and unless all the people walk around with name pronoun tags on all the time, there is no way anyone would be able to keep up.  Especially when students change pronouns daily/hourly.  The people drafting these rules won't be able to comply with them.  Just allows them to selectively punish anyone they choose.

Just a random thought, do tattoo artists charge larger people more to do a tattoo because invariably the tattoo will be larger and use more ink and take more time in order to be proportional to the size of the canvas (or whatever they call it)? I would guess they do.

I believe they typically charge based on the size and complexity of the tattoo.  The same small tattoo on a big person wouldn't typically cost more, but if you scale it to fit the canvas, then yes, it would cost more.

It seems like an easy and cheap fix would be to reinforce the door latches and make sure the drivers lock them during deliveries. Maybe a three digit combo code for relatively fast access to the the back for the driver. These are all smash and grabs, so even just a couple of minutes of theft resistance seems like it would stop most of them.

Of course places like Amazon probably measure delivery efficiency in seconds, so an extra 15 minutes a day per vehicle to lock and unlock doors are not cost efficient for them.

In 1998, three white guys in Texas kidnapped a black man, James Byrd, and dragged him behind their vehicle to his death. Texas caught, prosecuted, and convicted all three - two got the death penalty and have been executed, the last one got a life sentence and is spending 23 hours a day in a 6 x 8 foot jail cell to protect him from the other inmates. Somehow he'll be eligible for parole in 2038, but given the ghastly nature of his crime, he's unlikely to get it.

Draw your own conclusions about the differences in sentencing.

Not long after I left the newspaper there was a police involved shooting in the town. During a street fair the local well-known drunkard and all around scumbag got REALLY handsy with a woman who didn't want to be groped. She yelled, police foot patrol responded, and scumbag took off with police in pursuit.

Scumbag ducks into an alley, pulls a crappy .22, and starts popping off at the officers when they enter after him. Gets several hits on the cops, mostly vest hits, but hits one of them in the elbow and the other one in the hip.

They light his ass up. Multiple hits on the guy, resulting in him bleeding out well before emergency services can arrive. Both cops hospitalized, the guy who was shot in the elbow ends up on disability retirement. State police investigate, find the shooting to be 100% justified, book closed.

Scumbag's family, also well-known scumbags, is screeching bloody murder about their family member being murdered, being executed, whatever soundbite sounds good for the local media, and finds themself a bottom feeder to file a wrongful death suit for millions and millions.

Didn't end well for them. I'm not sure if the case was out and out dismissed it or if the jury told them to pound sand, but ultimately the family got absolutely nothing. Which was far more than they should have gotten for the deceased scumbag.

Got to change prehistoric history to match the narrative as well now.
But lets remember this is coming from people who can't even define a woman.

Quote
Their study found that not only did prehistoric women engage in the practice of hunting, but their female anatomy and biology would have made them intrinsically better suited for it.

'Rather than viewing it as a way of erasing or rewriting history, our studies are trying to correct the history that erased women from it,' said Dr Cara Ocobock, lead author of the study.

Quote
The findings show that the female body is better suited for endurance activity, which would have been critical in early hunting.

The main reasons for this biological advantage are hormones - in this case, oestrogen and adiponectin, which are typically present in higher quantities in female bodies than in male.

Guess that's why trans-woman dominate actual women in sports. Oh wait...that doesn't fit the narrative
Quote
'With the typically wider hip structure of the female, they are able to rotate their hips, lengthening their steps,' Professor Ocobock added.

'The longer steps you can take, the "cheaper" they are metabolically, and the farther you can get, faster.

Lets just completely ignore the fact men's averages in running sports is on another level from woman's

"Cognitive security" to ensure people think correctly. Wow - that is scary to me. It is well worth listening to this five minute testimony by Michael Shellenberger regarding what he found regarding the government's "disinformation security" and censorship strategy.

Buying 3 adjacent economy seats was cheaper than one First/Business class seat? Maybe. But she'd still have plenty of room - I still remember a (very) few occasions years ago when I enjoyed 3 seats to myself because of low passenger count.

Wrapping them all in plastic? That's either just plain nuts, or an ill-considered publicity stunt to get on YouTube or TikTok.

I've seen versions of that, but I have a hard time believing the airlines wouldn't notice that only one person checked in to three seats, and sell the other two seats to standby passengers, or the overbooked ones.

I haven't read all the fine print on a ticket, but I'd bet money somewhere in there it says that you have to check in an individual person for each seat or you forfeit the fare.

I don't fly enough to know, but I imagine there might be a way to buy 3 seats under 3 different names. Of course, the seats might be sold to others when the 2 fake passengers don't show up.

Not that MSN is a reliable source, but they're saying it's a dramatization of an actual event. Not sure where they get that information.

Men are better women again!

Quote
A pair of transgender women won first and second place in a female race at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships over the weekend, sparking fury among advocates for women's athletics.

The championships were held on December 3 and were comprised of some one dozen different competitions divided into men, women, and junior athlete categories.

But it was two biological men who placed atop the podium for the Women's Singlespeed category.

And don't you dare complain about it

Quote
According to Reduxx, Chicago CrossCup's website notes that it will disqualify anyone who practices 'discrimination or harassment of any kind on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, national origin, or any other stupid idea someone comes up with to belittle another racer.'

"Stupid idea"
Does pointing out this stuff is effectively destroying women's sports fall under that?

California retailers that refuse to have a gender-neutral section for children will be fined up to $500 under Gavin Newsom's new bill.
Quote
Retailers would have to do this 'regardless of whether they have been traditionally marketed for either girls or for boys,' the bill said.

The legislation, Assembly Bill No. 10584, will be enacted on January 1, 2024, and if retail department stores choose not to comply, they will have to dish out a civil penalty of $250 or $500.

Department stores that are subject to the new laws will have to have a total of 500 or more employees, be physically located in California and sell 'childcare items or toys'

Quote
My hope is this bill encourages more businesses across California and the U.S. to avoid reinforcing harmful and outdated stereotypes,' Low said.

So boys have penis, girls have vaginas is an "outdated stereotype"

Failed for answering correctly

Quote
An activist history teacher failed a Seattle student on a quiz for saying only women can get pregnant and that only men have penises.

A 10th grade Ethnic Studies World History teacher at Chief Sealth International High School in Seattle gave students a quiz titled, 'Understanding Gender vs. Sex.' The quiz provided a series of statements to label true or false, or questions with multiple choices.

The student’s mother wrote to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH expressing 'frustration and anger.' She says she expressed concerns to the school, but was 'met with silence.'

'I keep trying to wrap my head around how it is legal to teach inaccurate information and force students to answer against their beliefs or receive negative scores,' she said to the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. She asked for anonymity for fear her son would face retribution.

What the heck do the questions have to with history anyway?
Just wait until you find out what the mother said has been going on.

Remember the woman suing the airlines for not providing extra seating for free and then complaining the aisle were too narrow both to allow for her extra girth?

Well...

Quote
Low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines is being celebrated by "passengers of size" on TikTok after they discovered they can request complimentary seats – one or two, depending on needs – to accommodate their girth.

Customers whose bodies "encroach" past the armrest are entitled to an extra seat, according to Southwest's inclusion policy. They are currently one of the few, if not the only, airlines to offer free seats to larger passengers.

If I just don't like people sitting next to me on the plane can I take advantage of this as well?  Surely they won't body-shame me for not sufficiently encroaching on the armrest.

I won't fly Southwest anyway, so it's not going to be an issue for me but:

Quote
Southwest provided its policy to Fox Business which said that passengers of size "have the option of purchasing just one seat and then discussing your seating needs with the Customer Service Agent at the departure gate. If it’s determined that a second (or third) seat is needed, you’ll be accommodated with a complimentary additional seat."

The flight team will then try to effort to make the seating arrangements, potentially moving other passengers around for the "unplanned accommodation."

The policy states, "Customers who encroach upon any part of the neighboring seat(s) may proactively purchase the needed number of seats prior to travel to ensure the additional seat(s) is available… The purchase of additional seats serves as a notification of a special seating need and allows us to adequately plan for the number of occupied seats onboard."

"It also helps us ensure we can accommodate all Customers on the flight for which they purchased a ticket and avoid asking Customers to relinquish their seats for unplanned accommodation. Most importantly, it ensures that all Customers onboard have access to safe and comfortable seating. You may contact us for a refund of the cost of additional seating after travel," the policy continues.

If I got bumped off a flight I paid for because some fatass couldn't fit in a seat, I would end up TikTok famous for the.....non-inclusive language I would direct at said cetaceans on my way off the aircraft.

What makes you think the two situations are comparable? The satan statue wasn’t erected by people who believe in satan as their deity.
Quote
Founded in 2013, the Salem, Massachusetts-based Satanic Temple doesn’t believe in Satan but describes itself as a “non-theistic religious organization” that advocates for secularism.

That doesn’t mean that the actions weren’t criminal as far as property destruction goes, but it is more akin to smashing a Flying Spaghetti Monster statue than destroying someone’s religious icon.

Your position on this issue is nonsensical.

You attempted to draw a parallel between a Muslim destroying a symbol important to many Christians, and a Christian destroying a symbol that has no religious meaning at all to the people who raised it, except insomuch as the statue itself served as an attack on Christians. The two situations are not remotely similar.

Of course the devil statue got some Christians riled up.  That was the whole point of it.  It was a direct and specific attack on Judeo-Christian symbols in public spaces by a bunch of people who didn’t believe in any religious symbols, including the one they erected. Their specific purpose was to put something offensive to Christians in a public space and pretend it was equivalent to the religious symbols that the Christians liked. This response to the devil statue doesn’t suddenly make it a religious icon to the people who built it.

A better analogy might be to ask people would feel if an atheist went to a Muslim majority country and erected a statue of a giant pig having sex with a woman in a Hijab to anger the Muslims.  Although, I wonder what would get beheaded then …

This was a criminal act by someone looking for publicity for his campaign, and it looks like the guy is going to face some charges.  Fine. I get the impression he was willing to accept those consequences for the benefit of the exposure.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12871463/Aidan-Maese-Czeropski-sex-tape-ben-cardin.html

Quote
A spokesperson for Cardin said: 'Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the US Senate. We will have no further comment on this matter.'

Maese-Czeropski, who appeared in a 2020 campaign video with Joe Biden, had shared his own statement on LinkedIn Friday night, insisting he'd never disrespect his workplace.

He wrote: 'This has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda.

'While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgement, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace.

'Any attempts to characterize my actions otherwise are fabricated and I will be exploring what legal options are available to me in these matters.'

Quote
Congressman Mike Collins reacted to the video on social media and hit out at the actions of the alleged staffer.

'Heck of a week for the Left,' he wrote. 'Gay porn in the Senate, swearing in ceremony on child porn in Virginia, t****y tap dancers in the White House, and Satanic statues in Iowa. What else am I missing?'

Yes, I think you are right.

The traditional Christian understanding was that homosexual sodomy was something that anyone could be tempted by (obviously to varying degrees)... this sort of temptation was considered perverse, but common to mankind.  When society frowns on it, it tends to be relatively rare.  When society lauds it, it is common.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I think this is exactly what we are seeing today.  The older generations self reported sexual "orientation" has barely budged, perhaps because their moral views are still fixed, but younger people have declared them selves to be perverts in truly astounding percentages as Christian sexual morality has died.

Perhaps, but that's not what I was getting at.

I joined the Army during Don't Ask, Don't Tell.  It was reasonably common for someone in Basic training that decided they'd made a huge mistake to go to the Drill Sgts. and say they were gay, knowing they'd be kicked out.  Generally speaking the Army didn't take your word for it in that situation.  At minimum you had to call your mom and dad and "Come out" to them while be watched.  Pictures from home or some other evidence could also be used.  But you had to provide something to indicate you weren't just looking for an easy out.  Similarly, while I was in high school there were several openly gay kids enrolled, but they generally were like Freddy Mercury, openly gay, and if you wanted to be accepted into the "gay community" such as it was, you needed to act it.  The community acted as it's own gatekeepers.  I was being a little sarcastic about sucking dick as an entry fee, but I saw several kids who thought they were gay kicked back to the straight masses for not actually being gay, just saying they were.

In contrast, a kid today that wishes to identify as part of the alphabet alliance just has to.......say they are.  A lonely teenage girl can just say she's non-binary and get instant acceptance and even praise.  It's not like she has to actually BE a lesbian, change how she dresses, acts, who she dates or anything of the sort.  She's in the "community" just be saying she is.

That's what I was getting at:  Of course you are going to get more young people claiming to be LGBTQwhatever, as you made it a privileged status, and removed any cultural requirement for them to actually BE LGBTQwhatever.

Make young folks suck a dick before you accept their proclamation of "I'm gay" and I bet you get way less gays.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Quote
In a pioneering case, the first of its kind known in Britain, the women swapped embryos – both fertilised by the same sperm donor – during IVF treatment.

Now Emily, 38, a creative producer, will give birth to a son who is biologically Kerry’s at New Year. School teacher Kerry, 35, will follow in February, giving birth to a little boy grown from Emily’s egg.

It means that, uniquely, both women are simultaneously pregnant and will go on to raise two sons – where one boy carries the DNA of one mother after being birthed by the other, and vice versa for his sibling.

‘We wanted a family in which we both felt deeply physically and emotionally connected to each other’s babies,’ says Emily. ‘There wasn’t a blueprint for this but it made sense to us.

Some woman won't date a Android phone user

'He's a 10, but he has an Android phone, what's his new rating,' the TikToker asked.

The first woman quickly responded with: 'A three.'

'That's horrible,' another woman said.

One woman mentioned that photos will not be compatible.

One woman responded 'that's horrible'

Many of those asked by the TikToker said the new ranking would be between a zero and a three

iPhone users have long complained about pictures they receive from their Android friends, saying they are blurry.

That is due to the different pixel formats used by the smartphones - Android's density is around 720p or 480p, while the iPhone is about 1080p.

While blurry photos may be valid, one woman said having an Android is a sign of being poor.

I think we have reached a new shallow high

Can a man still be a '10' if he has an Android? Women are asked if ranking of a potential mate changes depending on their smartphone... So what do YOU think?

Maine doesn't surprise me at all. My grandparents had a summer house in Maine and at one time I thought about moving there when I retired. But Maine -- for reasons I haven't been able to figure out -- was leaning heavily Democrat and liberal 20 or 30 years ago, and now Maine is beyond redemption.

1st let me say Space Force is not the Real Military.  We'll take the Coast Guard first.

2nd., and holy hell I hate that I'm typing this, but he has a small kernel of a point in that video.  In the context of Space Force's mission they need really smart folks writing the code, designing the satellites and space based weapons (?  ;) ), and setting the battlefield in the Space Domain.  Until we actually field Vipers and a Battlestar, Space Force is fighting with their brains and a laptop.  In that context it makes sense to try and get the smartest, most ruthless, top of their field folks on the team and working to the fullest potential.  if that includes folks with mental (or physical) issues that would rightly preclude them from joining the Combat Forces, then it makes some sense to try and get their value added.

The very real problem(s) become when you are actively seeking out folks with issues because they have the issues and not because they are the best at what they do, when you celebrate those issues as innately good instead of something this valuable person has to overcome, and when you expand acceptance of those issues outside roles in which they don't matter into roles in which they very much do matter.  All of those problems are happening now, and should be addressed but don't negate the underlying kernel of a point the LTC has.

As an example, If we were doing research into some kind of Anti-matter bomb and Steven Hawking had offered to help, we wouldn't be like "You don't let cripples in the military!!".  Or, less theoretically, I think we all agree that we shouldn't have a bunch of Nazi's running around our military, but Werner Von Braun sure got a pass, and successfully helped us out quite a bit. 

That said, in practice, the TG's I've personally had to deal with in the military were not the top of their field, universally caused problems, and lowered the mission effectiveness of not only their unit but unit's supporting and adjacent to theirs, and were largely given a pass for the issues because any real discipline of them was a JAG nightmare. (sample size of 9)  Maybe the Space Force is utilizing their Trans troops better than the Army is.

I get what you are saying, but - and this is just my layman's opinion - my belief is that ALL transgenders have underlying mental issues and mental instability that I want to see kept well away from anything sensitive. I mean, the luggage thief is a prime example on the civilian side - clearance for nuke stuff, yet crazy as a loon, who also put his/it's transgender agenda above the job, of which there is ample twitter evidence.

I don't want unstable crazy people, regardless of their sex, anywhere near critical systems.

[Devil's Advocate]

That makes sense.

What mental illnesses are included in this opinion, asked the functional alcoholic with PTSD and a security clearance?

[Devil's Advocate]

You aren't wrong though, and all mental illnesses aren't created equal.  We demonstrably do give folks that are right on the edge of sociopath/Serial Killer guns, bombs, and drones and point them at targets though.

I agree that Transgenderisim is (when not a cynical cry for attention) a mental illness, and a compassionate society would help them live with their illness, not validate their delusions and encourage permanent body alterations.  That ship seems to have sailed at least for the next decade or so though.  Cultural acceptance is a slippery thing, so maybe we'll stop encouraging this madness one day.

Perhaps the base problem is not the disease, but that so many folks (both with and without it) celebrate the disease.  If we treated TG like depression or ADHD, as something that you have and need to work through, instead of something that makes you stunning and brave perhaps less people with it would make it the basis for their personality.

I dunno, just an idea.

Does that seem likely to you?

I get what you are saying, but - and this is just my layman's opinion - my belief is that ALL transgenders have underlying mental issues and mental instability that I want to see kept well away from anything sensitive. I mean, the luggage thief is a prime example on the civilian side - clearance for nuke stuff, yet crazy as a loon, who also put his/it's transgender agenda above the job, of which there is ample twitter evidence.

I don't want unstable crazy people, regardless of their sex, anywhere near critical systems.

Pretty much. Until being trans is seen as a liability, instead of some sick stigmata of the beatified, it's safe to assume no tranny's brilliance outweighs his/her mental issues. And even then...

[Devil's Advocate]

That makes sense.

What mental illnesses are included in this opinion, asked the functional alcoholic with PTSD and a security clearance?

[Devil's Advocate]

You aren't wrong though, and all mental illnesses aren't created equal.  We demonstrably do give folks that are right on the edge of sociopath/Serial Killer guns, bombs, and drones and point them at targets though.

Sure, I agree that there are plenty of not transgender people that are iffy on the mental stability front, and also that there is some range of mental issues/stability from which a line has to be drawn of "okay vs not okay". For that matter, I, as I'm sure you have, ran into way too many people that likely didn't have mental issues, that should have been nowhere near a security clearance for a wide variety of other reasons.

Yet (and I'll certainly concede that the internet may bias me) when I see what the vast majority of transgenders do and say on social media, that particular mental illness has way too high of a probability for unstable behavior. Enough that (laymans opinion again) if they are to be included in the military, it should be in a role that can't cause serious harm. Other than to their coworkers when they inevitably go on a shooting spree to stop the transgender genocide on the day of vengeance.

I dunno man, I'm just a dumb grunt that got some extra training. Twitchy is designed to produce clicks and outrage, not actual thought or discussion so I thought I'd mention that the LTC isn't 100 wrong.  If the next Von Brown, Oppenhiemer, Kelly Johnson, Turing or whatever brilliant mind is sitting at home right now wondering if they have the correct privates, it may in the National Interest to not simply write them off, and try to harness their talents.  That benefit risk absolutely needs to be weighed against the risk of the various Bradly Manning's out there as well.

Diversity just for diversity's sake is often be a fools game, but remaining open to Diversity when building a high achieving team is critical.  I don't have to like what the culture is doing to basic gender to still work within the reality I'm being presented with.

Virtual Gang Rape

Quote
British police are investigating the alleged gang rape of a girl’s avatar in a virtual reality game, in what is believed to be the first probe of its kind involving the metaverse.

The alleged victim, identified only as a girl under 16, was wearing a virtual reality headset in an immersive game when her avatar, an animated representation of her, was raped by those of several men, the Daily Mail first reported.

Although the accuser did not sustain any physical injuries, she may have suffered trauma similar to someone who’d been raped in real life, police sources told the outlet.
Quote
A senior police investigator told the Mail that the metaverse has become “rife” with online sex crimes and other types of offenses, including virtual thefts, but so far there have been no prosecutions in the UK.

For that to have even been possible someone would have had to written the code into the program for that and that really bothers me.

BTW: Metaverse = Facebook

The entire article is just talking about "virtual crimes" as a group.  There doesn't seem to be any mention of what evidence there that this actually happened, just that they are "investigating".  I guess there may or may not be video or some other record.  The way the article is written, it makes me think there is nothing to this.  Just a reason for click bait headlines and grandstanding officials.

I have not messed with virtual reality games.  Do they have some programming for people to have sex these days.  They said she was wearing a headset (hands too?).  I don't know how that is supposed to work, consensual or not.

As an example, If we were doing research into some kind of Anti-matter bomb and Steven Hawking had offered to help, we wouldn't be like "You don't let cripples in the military!!".  Or, less theoretically, I think we all agree that we shouldn't have a bunch of Nazi's running around our military, but Werner Von Braun sure got a pass, and successfully helped us out quite a bit.

When I was in grad school, Hawking showed up to UCSB for some meeting/shindig because someone at the physics dept had just won a Nobel. His staff/entourage was composed of several hot grad girls. There might have been others with him, but the hot girls stood out to me as they were with him everywhere he rolled.

 Since some states are banning fluorescent lamps, I thought I'd provide a few data on the madness of that. The company I work for has been selling LED tubes to replace fluorescent tubes for several years now, mostly to local businesses. The LED tubes cost 2 or 3 times as much as fluorescent, but there are rebate programs that cover much of that cost - sometimes all of it. Even without rebates, an LED retrofit would still pay for itself in energy efficiency savings, and lower maintenance costs. With the rebates, going LED is a no-brainer.

I just saw a list (ranked by quantity sold) of items we sold to property management companies last year. Those are "third party management" companies that take care of office buildings, business parks, and other commercial properties. They're a big chunk of our business. We've helped most of them with at least one fluorescent-to-LED-tube retrofit job. Some of those are whole buildings. Some are one floor at a time.

Still, of the items we sold to those companies last year, the top 2 slots are 4' fluorescent tubes, and #3 is the recycling fee we charge for used-up 4' fluorescent tubes.  The top-selling LED tube is a very distant 4th. In fact, 6 of the top 10 slots are 4' fluorescent tubes. Of the top 20 items, only 6 are LED products. The old-style T12 lamp, which was outmoded by T8 lamps years ago, is still hanging on at #9. That's a 40-watt fluorescent tube that could easily be replaced by an LED that uses less than a quarter of the energy, and was supposed to have been replaced by a more efficient fluorescent option a long time ago. Yet we have customers still buying thousands of them.

On the other hand: the LED tubes we sell are more likely to be split up between different part numbers, different wattages, and also between LED tubes that bypass the fluorescent ballast, and those which are ballast-dependent. And, with LEDs, older SKUs are replaced by newer items every 5 minutes. So it's not as if no one's buying the stuff. It's just not the only stuff they're buying.

Bond films are now offensive

Quote
The British Film Institute (BFI) has provided multiple trigger warnings for audiences ahead of its upcoming season of classic film screenings in tribute to British film composer John Barry, including James Bond movies.

As media outlets The Guardian and The Daily Mail reported this week, the films shown at the upcoming "John Barry: Soundtracking Bond and Beyond" BFI season have been given a disclaimer warning that they "will cause offence [sic]."

Among these screenings are the two Sean Connery-era Bond flicks which Barry provided music for: 1967’s "You Only Live Twice," and 1964's "Goldfinger."

Man winds up having to pay squatters to get out of his house that he was trying to sell after police told him they couldn't do anything.

Quote
Asked about the incident, Philadelphia Police only told Fox News that the property owner was "advised of a tenant and landlord issue" and no arrests were made.

"The police told us that they get three to four calls a day similar to this," real estate agent Bob Cervone told Fox News. "I certainly had heard of this happening from other agents, from landlords. But it was my first experience with it."

A few days later, Harte said, the squatters reached out to Cervone to arrange a meeting. They said they had found somewhere else to live and would leave Harte's house if he gave them $2,000. He said that was too much but ultimately paid them $1,200 after walking through the house.

"The house was super dirty, trash everywhere," he said. "Luckily, there was no damage."

The squatters left. He immediately changed the locks and hired a cleaner. All told, he estimates the incident cost him $2,000 and endless stress over the holidays until the sale finally closed last week.

Something is going to have to give on this _____

Quote
For the Navajo, it is important to live in hohzo, a state of order with the universe which recognizes the beauty of all living things. Navajos follow rituals and bury the dead in unique ways to maintain this order:

Navajos select family members to mourn. Mourners bathe and dress the body in special garments.
The mourners bury the deceased far away from the living areas, along with their possessions and the tools used to bury the body.

Looking at the video, it is almost funny.  They picked the most harmless looking reporter to do this to.  It is obvious the reporter was trying to walk around him until he thrust out an arm to block him.  They they practically do an interview with the guy on the street before arresting him.  Then they allow the camera man to film the whole thing from close by allowing the guy to continue talking on camera. 

It was a bullying tactic by the cops, but it was as if they don't know how to do it right or immediately regretted the initial action and decided to play nice.

And by the time we get the cost down enough to make shipping trash into space reasonable, we will likely find a better place to put it.
We'll throw it into the sun an incinerate it in nuclear fire. And if it's too hot to approach closely enough to make the dump . . . we'll just make the drop at night.   ;)

Requires a massive amount of delta-V making it cost prohibitive. It actually takes less energy to fling objects out of the solar system than into the sun. The mechanics are somewhat complicated and there are sites explaining it way better than I could but in a nutshell the earth is moving around the sun at ~67,000mph and you would have to deal with that.

But if you slow it down and drop it inward, it should keep falling unless you get it wrong and it tries to slingshot around.  Plenty of potential issues there.  Also a small chance of it breaking apart to form a big trash stream going around the sun.  Of course, same issues trying to send it out of the solar system. 

Probably easier to drop it into Jupiter.  Of course, who knows what sort of tech we will develop by the time all that becomes feasible.

Nope. Orbital mechanics says lower orbit. probably get an elliptical orbit until it eventually stabilizes, but you gotta slow it way down to get it into the sun, almost zero V.

Quote
A history teacher at a Seattle high school who previously came under fire for lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity allegedly told students that identifying as "straight" is offensive.

Ian Golash, who is the social studies department chair at Chief Sealth International High School, also told some male students they are a "product of the patriarchy that teaches young boys not to care," according to a parent who filed a complaint with school officials.

The mother, who requested anonymity, provided a copy of a "Social Identity Wheel" worksheet Golash assigned to his 10th grade class to "The Jason Rantz Show" on KTTH. The worksheet asks students to self-reflect on their various identities, including racial, ethnic, gender, socio-economic status, physical, emotional or developmental disabilities, and sexual orientation.

The parent said her 15-year-old son labeled himself "straight." Golash then allegedly told the boy that he needed to pick a term that was less offensive.

That is what I said. 

However, since we would seem to have the ability to slow it down in the first place, we should be able to keep it from developing speed as it drops inward so it won't sling shot.  Depends on how it is done. 

Or we could find a habitable planet with a breathable atmosphere and just dump all the trash on it......then come around with a patrol occasionally and kill anyone who might try to live there...... until a former Soldier takes offense to this process.

The course description on the university's website explains students will 'apply chemical tools and analysis to understand black life in the US' and 'implement African American sensibilities to analyze chemistry'.

'Diverse historical and contemporary scientists, intellectuals, and chemical discoveries will inform personal reflections and proposals for addressing inequities in chemistry and chemical education,' it read.

Brooke Johnson, a Rice graduate with a PhD in chemistry from Princeton hired last August as part of the university's DEI department, will teach the class.

Oregon man is interviewed by the FBI after making threats against "trans phobic aholes"

Quote
Elizabeth West was charged with making interstate threats based on the September 26 Facebook post to the group “Trans Woman Support Group,” which came as he said he believed he was about to be fired and was tired of “trans phobic aholes.”

“I’m too old to keep looking for jobs and I’ve had it up to here being bullied by trans phobic aholes I am left with no alternative…,” West wrote, according to court documents. “I’ve been preparing for this moment for a long time at least then I’ll be remember [sic] I have no family no friends… So there really isn’t any point living any more?”

That was in Sept but did they arrest him? Nope, but after he/she/it made some racist comments then they arrest him/her/it
Saying you're going to murder "trans phobic aholes" won't get you arrested but saying you hate black people will.

Quote
The FBI did not arrest West after the September interview that was ultimately used to justify charges. Instead, it arrested him months later after checks of his social media exhibited racial hatred towards black people, immigrants, and Jews. His social media bio, according to the court documents, was, “A Nazi dominatrix from Hell, who is tired of the blackening of America and Europe and ready to stand up to the Black orcs and the Jewish Wizards.”

With all the talk of drag queens transvestites these days, I've heard/read several non-woke commentators speak of going to transvestite shows as if it were just another form of entertainment that straight people might enjoy on an ordinary night out on the town. Which is something I've never heard before.

It may ruffle some feathers, but I just think that's how things got to the point we're at now. We accepted immorality. We enjoyed seeing it. Now it's being pushed on the kids, and we're treated like extremists if we try to do anything about it.

There were a few female impersonators that were mainstream entertainers a long time ago.  Ru Paul and Dame Edna are the only ones I can think of.  I've seen them on network TV back in the day when there were still censors.  And almost mainstream, there was a guy named "Devine" who was in the movie Polyester.  I don't recall there being drag shows, just campy characters, but it wasn't something I really watched.  There might have been drag shows on TV late at night when the rules were relaxed a bit, I don't know. 

Actual shows, like going to a theatre?  I have no idea.

There were a few female impersonators that were mainstream entertainers a long time ago.  Ru Paul and Dame Edna are the only ones I can think of.  I've seen them on network TV back in the day when there were still censors.  And almost mainstream, there was a guy named "Devine" who was in the movie Polyester.  I don't recall there being drag shows, just campy characters, but it wasn't something I really watched.  There might have been drag shows on TV late at night when the rules were relaxed a bit, I don't know. 

Actual shows, like going to a theatre?  I have no idea.
I remember some occasional skits by Benny Hill and Harvey Korman. AFAIK their "female impersonations" were limited to comedy skit appearances. (Not 100% sure about Benny.) And nothing depraved like the links WLJ posted.

Yeah, huge difference between a man play acting as a woman usually for comedic effect to a man claiming to be actually a woman and expecting everyone to treat him like woman right down to the biological aspects of being a woman

Totally true.

In the context of this conversation though, the "drag shows" of the 70's and even 80's that BobR mentioned were of the first sort.  Shows put on for entertainment by men, and everyone knew they were men, and treated them as such.  I was a little young to have made any of those shows in the 80's but I remember them as a kinda risque entertainment thing, not delusional men performing.

They used to have a drag burlesque show in Key West on Duval that I remember walking past with some Army buddies circa 99 or so.  Even then, it was clear that they thought they were men.

This "Trans Women are women" BS seems to have sprung full formed since 2010 or so.

I wouldn't count the past drag shows the same as men play-acting in comedies, but I'll go with you saying they weren't the same as now.  I still wouldn't count them as normal for the time.  Lots of things existed that wouldn't be considered normal and accepted. 

IMO, what is happening today is more like the San Francisco gay pride parade put in front of everyone in the US and people demanding everyone accept it as normal.

A new Wizard of Oz remake is currently in the works by director Kenya Barris, who says that the new movie will feature plenty of LGBTQ representation. Barris also stated that the original movie was a reflection of what was going on in the world at the time, which was the Dust Bowl and The Great Depression, and now the current world events of LGBTQ representation will be one of the defining factors of his remake.

According to Barris, “Now we’re going to turn a mirror on where we’re at right now and take disparate characters from the LGBTQ community, from different cultural communities and socioeconomic communities, and tell a story that reflects the world.” This is certainly a different take on the Wizard of Oz, but one that many people are going to find quite exciting.

Alyssa Milano has been slammed on social media for sharing a GoFundMe asking for donations for her 12-year-old son's baseball team trip.

The Charmed star - who is believed to be a multimillionaire - set up the online fundraiser herself under her married name Alyssa Bugliari, and then shared it to her 3.4M followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Milano, 51, is married to powerhouse Hollywood agent David Bugliari, 43, who used to be a co-head of the motion picture department at CAA.

Fans widely mocked the post, flooding her replies with memes, including one that said the actress 'identifies as poor' when it is time to pay the bills.

The US taxpayer has spent millions funding the pregnancies of transgender men, official data shows.

A recent study by University of Michigan researchers found there were 1,907 births among people who were born biological female but who identified as men between 2014 and 2018, the equivalent of nearly 500 a year.

Of the total, 256 trans men were insured under Medicaid - a government program that provides health insurance to people with limited income, which is funded by Americans.

The average cost of childbirth in the US is around $19,000, meaning the deliveries would have cost taxpayers around $4.8million.

256 women on Medicaid had babies between 2014 and 2018.  What's the story here.

More has to do, in my mind, how the left likes claim men can have babies too when in fact they're women and this in fact proves it as if we needed proof.
As far a the tax payer money being spend that is an issue but not the biggest IMHO. $5 mil is probably  equal to the White House monthly toilet paper budget

Just your typical MAGA extremist.
Some of the comments are nauseatingly along those lines

Quote
Hours before his arrest, Mohn held up what he claimed was his father's head during a politically charged rant in which he claimed that he was the president of the United State that he posted on his YouTube channel. 

Mohn said many saw him as the messiah, and wanted him as president, while urging relatives living with federal employees to murder them. He blamed the federal government for 'woke mobs' and migrants he claims are destroying the United States, and ranted against 'globalists and communists'.

The appalling 14 minute clip - which remained on YouTube for six hours after it was posted at 5:30pm, before being taken down - sees Mohn hold up his father's head in a bloodied plastic bag placed inside a silver, having declared: 'Violence is the only solution to the federal government's treason.'

Yeah I expect this to be milked dry by the MSM. See what that radical Trump is doing to people!

Quote
Mohn previously posted a revolutionary pamphlet tiled 'America's Coming Bloody Revolution,' that claimed Americans would soon have to choose between 'losing freedom' or 'killing their family.'

Quote
n a 2020 pamphlet, he claimed 'Americans will have to weigh what is worse - allowing themselves to lose freedom and independence or killing their own family members, teachers, coworkers, bosses, judges, elected leaders, and other older generations.'

Mohn went on to say family members could be 'traitors' who 'wish to take away the freedom and independence that comes with America, democracy, and free market capitalism.'
Quote
In the beheading clip, he rants about taxes, declaring that the economy is 'near destruction' and most Americans can 'no longer afford the American dream.'

Mohn went on to say he was offering a $1 million bounty to anyone who could kill top officials including FBI Director Christopher Wray, Attorney General Merrick Garland and former Attorney General Bill Barr.

He said there was a 'globalist and communist' plot against the United State, before ranting about the federal government and holding up his dad's head in a silver bucket.

But apparently he had no love of Trump which will be ignored

Quote
In one unhinged post, he wrote: 'Even my own family upholds this Cult belief and is willing to go to jail to prove it. Donald Trump, if this does not get fixed ASAP then you will also be in jail for the rest of your life after I sue you for everything you own - that's not a threat that's a promise b****.'

This morning I was reading a reddit thread where the vast majority of posters were quoting "science" that anyone who thought there were only X and Y chromosomes was a religious fanatic, because "science" has discovered all kinds of new chromosomes and chromosome combinations that allow for a multitude of physical genders. People who actually linked to credible science papers were downvoted and told they don't know anything about science.

Funny how these same people seem to believe that humans are the only mammals that can have all these "extra chromosomes" and chromosome combinations, while they don't exists in chimps, whales, dogs, etc. Science, man.

There's just X and Y, and the Y chromosome (or lack thereof) determines sex.  There are anomalous cases of XXY and XYY (boys) and XXX (girls) but they are rare, and not a brand new gender.  Also there are XYs that have some other genetic problem so they don't respond to testosterone, and they will physically be girls; infertile when they grow up, with undescended testicles that are frequently cancerous.  And there are probably other intersex conditions I'm not aware of but they are varying degrees of tragic, not something to be celebrated and used to promote the latest perverse fads.

Calico and tortoiseshell* cats are nearly 100% female for that reason.
Black fur requires an X chromosome and orange fur requires an X chromosome so whenever you see a cat with both black and orange fur they have XX chromosomes and are thus nearly always female. I say nearly always because there are the somewhat rare XXY male calicos but they're usually sterile

*Torties are basically calicos without any white fur

Teaching your children

Quote
A San Francisco Bay-area elementary school was trained by an organization called "Woke Kindergarten," whose leader wants to see America and Israel destroyed as countries, according to posts on social media.

According to the website, the head of the organization is "Akiea ‘Ki’ Gross (they/them)" who "is an abolitionist early educator, cultural organizer and creator currently innovating ways to resist, heal, liberate and create with their pedagogy, Woke Kindergarten."

"I believe the United States has no right to exist. I believe every settler colony who has committed genocide against native peoples, against Indigenous people, has no right to exist," Gross said in a recent Instagram post. "Y'all the demons. Y'all are the villains. We've been trying to end y'all. Get free of y'all."

Gross also believes that there are extraterrestrial beings that are oppressed.

Quote
Students at a San Francisco Bay-area elementary school — where officials hired a for-profit company called "Woke Kindergarten" to train teachers — are continuing to struggle with some of the lowest math and reading scores in the state, according to a report.

The school spent $250,000 in federal funds provided by a program meant to help boost test scores for some of the country’s lowest-performing schools, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, but after two years with "Woke Kindergarten," students’ scores are reportedly worse.

In a 4% drop in both areas in the last two years, less than 12% of the students at Glassbrook Elementary in Hayward, California, can read at their grade level and under 4% are proficient in math, according to the Chronicle.

Several of the "conservative" sites, as well as conservative-leaning news channels are doing this. It's kinda disappointing. On the one hand they highlight the craziness of the trans and pronoun nonsense, on the other hand they participate in it. Newsflash to those sites: You're not gonna get any liberal subscribers by doing that, and you might lose some normie subscribers.

A passenger on board a Lufthansa flight from Thailand to Germany died Thursday, after his fellow travelers watched in horror as blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

The unidentified 63-year-old German man was seen boarding the Airbus A380 in Bangkok shortly before midnight visibly sick, with “cold sweats” and “breathing much too quickly,” Karin Missfelder recounted to Swiss German outlet Blick.

These people are just insane.  I guess there is room for trolling, but I will err on the side of insanity. 

In their perfect world, no one would eat animals or keep animals as pets/livestock or even have them in zoos.  So animals would be something very few people would have any experience with leading most people to not care about them at all.  That is probably the best way to make sure many animals go extinct and habitats get plowed under or developed.

Got to remember what's important here, pronouns

Quote
A 90-year-old California woman was fired from her volunteering position at the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society because she 'did not understand pronouns,' despite previously winning multiple awards from the nonprofit group.

Fran Itkoff had been volunteering for the MS Society, a nonprofit support group for multiple sclerosis patients, for 60 years before she was removed.

Although her dedication to the MS Society had been recognized over the years, the group recently forced her to step down after she asked what pronouns meant.

'I was confused. I didn't know what it was and what it meant,' Itkoff said of her first reaction when she was asked to use pronouns in her email signature.

New York's iconic St Patrick's Cathedral has claimed it was duped into holding a 'scandalous' funeral service for a transgender activist celebrated in the mass as 'the great whore.'

The Catholic cathedral, which bills itself as 'America's parish church,' has been ordered to hold a 'mass of reparation' after hundreds of scantily-clad admirers danced in the aisles for former sex worker Cecilia Gentili.

The self-proclaimed atheist died at 52 on February 6, and organizers have admitted they kept her identity 'kind of under wraps' when booking the mass with cathedral authorities.

Now the cathedral's pastor has issued a groveling apology to his parishioners, thanking the 'many who have let us know they share our outrage.'

'The Cathedral only knew that family and friends were requesting a funeral Mass for a Catholic, and had no idea our welcome and prayer would be degraded in such a sacrilegious and deceptive way,' Father Enrique Salvo said in a statement.

While there are a lot of words in the story, it's lacking info for me. Are people blaming the church? It sounds like they were legitimately tricked. I guess from part of the story, they could have ended the service, but it's New York. Quite likely if they called the cops it would be the priests that went to the pokey.

Of course our current Pope probably thought this was just grand.

Indiana Department of Child Services remove a child from the parents home because they refused to use the child's "proper" pronouns

Quote
But, in 2021, Indiana officials began investigating the Coxes after a report found they were not referring to their child by his preferred gender identity, removing the teen from their custody and placing him in a "gender-affirming" home. Despite the unsubstantiated claims of abuse, they claimed the Coxes made the child's eating disorder worse even though it worsened after he was removed and placed in a transition-affirming home.

I read that this morning, and was surprised that it was Indiana. Maybe more of my apparent lack of knowledge with what's going on with states between the Eastern seaboard and the Rockies, but Indiana would have been one of the last states where I would expect this. When did they make such a left turn?

Quote
    HB 4876 would impose criminal penalties on parents or legal guardians for refusing to allow their children to undergo “gender-affirming” hormonal or surgical interventions. It would also allow minors to consent to “gender-affirming care” and shield gender clinicians from liability if they failed “to obtain valid consent” from the minor but provided they “relied in good faith on the representations made by the minor.”

    Ironically, the law also defines “abused child” as a child whose parent “allows to be inflicted upon such child physical injury, by other than accidental means, which causes death, disfigurement, impairment of physical or emotional health, or loss or impairment of any bodily function.”

    HB 4876 lumps in “gender-affirming” interventions with abortion, probably to make it politically difficult for Democrats to oppose the bill.

So apparently it's okay for a transgenders to commit murder because they feel vulnerable......or something  :O

Quote
At her sentencing on Wednesday, Lopez callously justified the murder by blaming a lack of mental health support and a system she saw as failing her.

'I refuse to apologize for the lack of help I so desperately needed and called and asked for from 911 services,' Lopez said, reports The Oregonian. 

She also moaned that her gender identity meant that she felt 'targeted,' and vulnerable to attack the paper reported.

The left has convinced a lot of people that the Nazis were capitalists thus by association capitalism is bad.

He used to be rather somewhat socialist himself but realized it's BS and has since been producing content pointing out the lies of the left on this particular matter in addition to his usual history videos.

Like with capitalism it's not a 100% black or 100% white picture. But the Nazis were far more socialists that they were capitalists with most of the capitalist aspects more of a facade than anything and the left loves latching onto only it's capitalist aspects. So if Nazis were bad then capitalism is bad sort of thing while in fact economically they had much more in common with the communists and that is something the left does not want their minions to know lest it spoil their Nazi/Fascism = Capitalism = Nazi/Fascism

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government also plans to amend the criminal code to increase hate crime penalties, including by introducing a new offense punishable by up to life imprisonment for those found guilty of inciting genocide.

The Canadian Human Rights Act would also be amended to classify hate speech as discrimination, and would allow the Human Rights Tribunal to handle hate speech offenses.

How many times have we heard "mis-gendering someone or ANY push back against radical transgenderism characterized as genocide? And hate speech could be anything from actual hate to being merely something that runs against the narrative which many on the left routinely characterized as hate speech.

Sounds like some universities need an enema

Quote
Britain's top universities warned staff and students that saying 'the most qualified person should get the job' is a microaggression.

Russell Group universities, including the University of Glasgow, have issued guidance and even provided training courses to educate people on how to eliminate microaggressions.

Guidance from the Scottish university alongside the engineering department of Imperial College London insisted that using the phrase was discriminatory.

Glasgow University's guidance is the latest advice from their anti-racism campaign and the university explained that the phrase ignored the idea that race plays a part in life success.

The top universities said that other examples of microaggressions - subtle or thinly veiled everyday forms of discrimination could include telling people that 'everyone can succeed if they work hard enough'.

Yup. That worthless group, more than any other from the DEI "community", has pushed "words=violence=genocide" and "vengeance against our enemies", and people continue to coddle them instead of giving them a good swift kick in the ass and telling them to grow up.

Of course we have already, here in the US, seen a sentence of two decades for "hate speech" on 06JAN. A life term isn't too far from that. Though life imprisonment for wrongspeech is certainly on the short list of things that could light up Civil War 3.

Yes, that is right... they believed in strong government control of businesses, though "ownership" usually remained private.  The Nazi Party had a 25 point program, of which seven were explicitly socialist:


We demand therefore:

11. The abolition of incomes unearned by work.

The breaking of the slavery of interest

12. In view of the enormous sacrifices of life and property demanded of a nation by any war, personal enrichment from war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We demand therefore the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industrial enterprises.

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, the immediate communalizing of big department stores, and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders, and that the utmost consideration shall be shown to all small traders in the placing of State and municipal orders.

17. We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation; the abolition of ground rent, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

18. We demand the ruthless prosecution of those whose activities are injurious to the common interest. Common criminals, usurers, profiteers, etc., must be punished with death, whatever their creed or race.

Technically the American "Revolution" was a civil war and not a revolution since the central government wasn't overthrown.
What happened in France, Russia, and Iran were revolutions.

The Department of Veteran Affairs has rescinded a memo banning the iconic J-V Day Times Square kiss photo from its buildings.

VA Secretary Denis McDonough was forced to deny the photo's ban after a leaked memo signed by undersecretary RimaAnn O. Nelson began making the rounds online.

'Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities - and we will keep it in VA facilities,' McDonough said on Twitter.

When pressed by DailyMail.com, the VA admitted the memo was sent out late last month but had since been rescinded.

The memo instructed employees to 'promptly remove' the image and replace it with one deemed less offensive.

Glad he stood his ground but for how long?

Apparently if your car is carjacked in DC you're on the hook for any tickets the lowlifes got while driving your car + towing and storage fees to get it back.

Quote
    Terrell then went to the impound lot to retrieve her family's stolen SUV. Even though she could see her car from the sidewalk, she still couldn't drive it home after she learned that the city charged her more than $2,000 to cover the cost of towing and storage. To make matters worse, the thieves had also accrued at least one ticket on the city's traffic cameras — a ticket that was ultimately assessed against Terrell's family.

    "I can't catch a break, but this time around I'm just determined to not give up," she said. Terrell reached out to the city, which eventually agreed to reduce some of the charges.

In 2022, Biden’s DOJ gave Multnomah County $400,000 to seek out and prosecute more “hate crimes”.

The grant established a “specialized bias DDA”, and lays out an estimated quota on prosecuted hate crimes (10 in years 1-2, 15 in year 3, 20 in year 4)

If true, they're being paid to prosecute this kind of sh*t.

How long untll the wailing and gnashing of teeth that Lyft Riders are sexist when women drivers start not getting chosen?  I also wonder if that's one category (Women and non-binary drivers)?  I don't care so much about women drivers but given the option I probably would hit the toggle to exclude delusional drivers.  Seems a lot safer and less likely to get a lecture or inadvertently end up on someone's TikTok that way.

It looks to me like the driver or passenger can request to avoid men who don't brag about having a particular mental illness, but I don't think they allow you to request a man specifically.

I admit I may not be fully up-to-date with the kids genders these days, but I think if you opt NOT to have a woman driver, and NOT to have a non-binary driver, that kinda narrows down who will be picking you up.

Although, I suppose you still need to worry if the man is OEM or Aftermarket.

I don't disagree with that the way you understand it would lead to that being an option, but I'm not sure that your design is the one they've opted to go with.

As I read it, based on the description you can either:
Get the first driver/passenger available of whatever description.
Avoid male drivers/passengers and get the next female or mentally ill male available.

Maybe they're designing it the way you imagine with toggles for various genders and mental conditions, but I think it is unlikely they'd allow any sort of discrimination against protected categories.  It is far more likely that there is strictly an "avoid men" flag.

I would assume it's legal for a customer to discriminate based upon gender (actual or identified) but is it legal for an employer to have policies to encourage that?

As car thefts have spiked in Toronto, Canada, local police are prescribing new safety measures so that locals can avoid violent encounters with thieves.

One of the recent bits of advice included Toronto Police telling residents of the town of Etobicoke to leave their car key fobs near the door to avoid being attacked in their homes by potential burglars.
Quote
Thieves have begun breaking into houses to steal keys in order to steal cars, prompting controversial prevention advice from Toronto Police Constable Marco Ricciardi at an Etobicoke town hall last month, according to City News.

During the town hall, Ricciardi advised that residents leave their car keys near the front doors of their houses so that they do not have to confront violent criminals, who he noted often have "real guns."

How about calling the police to come pick up the bodies instead?
Oh wait, it's Trudeau's Canada.

Meanwhile TikTok is teaching illegals how to take over homes

Quote
A TikTok influencer is advising illegal immigrants on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties.

Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told undocumented immigrants that under US law, 'if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it'.

He is referring to squatter's rights, or adverse possession laws - a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner's consent.

Moreno, alleging he has friends who 'have already taken about seven homes', argued the only way for migrants to not live in the streets or be a 'public burden' is to 'seize' and 'invade' abandoned properties.

The now-viral video, which has been viewed almost 4million times, has prompted outrage from many social media users. Some have claimed Moreno is 'promoting terrorism' and are now calling on the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to action.

I saw this story on twitchy and saw it included a video of a NY homeowner being arrested for changing the locks on her house after a squatter moved in.

Luckily I live in a FAFO state, though this story kinda makes me want to write my state senator before the '24 session ends to see if any protections against this stuff are codified in Idaho law. Because they should be here and in every other not crazy state in the US. It appears though, that even if they aren't crazy states like NY, many states seem to be getting caught flat-footed on protecting homeowners against this stuff because of unclear on non-existent laws.

Apparently in NY they only have to be in the house for 30 days after that they basically have more rights to the home than you do.
Story I saw said evictions typically take longer than 30 days so you're up the creek.

The issue is the laws treat it as a civil issue between Landlord/Tenant because in most of these cases the squaters are claiming to be a tenant.  They have fake leases, or bills (real and/or fake) "proving" (or at least giving a possibility of) legal occupancy.  so it has to go through civil eviction processes with renter protection laws varying by how much a state or locality dislikes mean old landlords.

As far as I can tell, even if you get them evicted, there's no criminal follow up for fraud or attempted theft, trespassing, or whatever.  So there's no real downside to the thieves.  I'd like to see us add consequences to attempted theft, but the criminal justice system seems uninterested in pursuing criminal charges.  These idiots are essentially judgement proof for getting your costs back after you get them out.

The answer is going to probably changing the law to some stricter version of establishing rental residency, but that will run us back into the "predatory landlords can throw moms out on the street" that got us here in the first place.  Do we require every renter to have a lease on hand and to show it to cops on demand or risk being trespassed from their home?  A new government office and require leases to be registered with the .gov so they can be checked by LE when conflicting claims arise? ( [barf] )  What's a fair way for LE to establish if someone is a real renter when they say they are, and some rando outside says they aren't?  Dunno.

In the meantime I think you're correct WLJ, if it keeps going this way you'll see squatters just disappear into the night.

This was a story I saw from California.  Squatters victimized a woman.  Her son got her to give him a lease, broke into the house and essentially made enough of a nuisance of himself until the squatters left.  Now he is getting offers from others to do it again. 

Man Gets Squatters to WANT to Leave the Homes They Moved Into
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOFarLfP3zY


Most of these examples involve 2nd homes or inherited property where no one is living.  My only advice would be for anyone with property like that to practically live in the property until it is sold or leased.  At least visit it daily or multiple times a week.  I think some of these people are finding the squatters after a month or two.

I remember during "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland, the local constabulary was urging the (few) people licensed to own shotguns to voluntarily turn them in to the police for the duration. Why?

The Queens squatter who went viral after the homeowner got arrested is allegedly subletting the home to sub-squatters.

According to one of these ‘sub-squatters’ he was charged $1500 a month to live in the basement.

“I paid $3,500 to the landlord Jay.”

Jay was the ‘Head Squatter’ who allegedly served as the Squatting Landlord.

A not-insignificant number of Christians would be happy to have both "Easter" and eggs disassociated with the Paschal season.

I'm not necessarily against Easter eggs, but I'm not sure it would be a bad thing if non-believers stopped trying to celebrate holidays they don't believe in or don't understand. Perhaps gesture eggs would be more appropriate for those people.

A few years ago, it was "offensive" to suggest that the homos are chomos. Now, we're about six months away from M.A.P. being added to the LGBTQIA, and the rest of the letters. At that point all of the pedos will be wrapped in the warm embrace of the rainbow battle flag.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't both the bunny and the eggs remnants of the spring fertility calibrations that stuck around when pagan celebrations were kinda mushed into Christian celebrations?  Much like the tree wasn't originally a "Birth of Christ" symbol?

That said, I kinda agree with Perd here: If you aren't a Christian, don't concern yourself with how they celebrate their holidays, and don't try to muscle in on them and then change them to be more "inclusive".

I get that this "trans day of visibility" falls on the 31st every year so the intersection with Easter is sadly coincidental. However at the link, the "founder" of the day was talking about why it picked March 31st, and it's because it didn't want it's "day" too close to pride month (which the trannies seem to be taking over) or "transgender day of remembrance" which is also a day they reserved.

We must also take care to honor Transgender Parent Day (Nov 6) Trans Awareness Week (Nov 13-19) and International Pronoun Day (Oct 20).

Trans is distinct from drag. International Drag Day is July 16.

But not everyone even HAS a gender to trans. Agender Pride Day is May 19. Intersex Awareness Day is Oct 26.

You can come out as any of these on National Coming Out Day, which is October 11.

Omnisexual Visibility Day is July 6 so mark your calendar for that. Bisexual Awareness Week ends on September 22 but jumps right into Bisexual Visibility Day which is September 23.

July 14 is International Non-Binary Day right in the middle of Non-Binary Awareness Week (July 11-17).

My personal favorite is Gay Uncle Day, August 14.

Speaking of April, we can’t forget the ladies! International Lesbian Visibility Day is April 26. Harvey Milk Day is May 22, and Stonewall Riots Day is June 28.

Pansexuality is widely misunderstood so it gets a few days - Pansexuality and Panromantic Visibility Day is May 24, but don’t forget Pansexual Pride Day, which is December 8.

Spirit Day is October 21 but I can’t remember what that’s for.

A lot of people confuse Pride
Month (June) with LGBT History Month (October). We must observe both though, as well as Bisexual Health Awareness Month (March), and Trans Awareness Month (November).

Human Rights Day is December 10 and World AIDS Day December 1. Don’t confuse either of these with HIV Survivors Day, which is June 5.

May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. You should also not be hateful on March 1, which is Zero Discrimination Day.

Discrimination is DEFINITELY not OK on the International Day of Silence, which is April 22.

"For far too long, Americans have not seen the bearded men in dresses twerking in their faces," said President Biden. "That ends on Easter."

President Biden's declared day of visibility will bring awareness to the community plastered all over every media outlet, every government branch, every town parade, every corporate advertisement, and beamed through the internet to every device on planet earth. According to sources, this has created consternation amongst the Biden administration as aides are unsure how the transgender movement could possibly be any more visible.

The thin red line flag is a fascist symbol

Quote
Authorities at the New York City Fire Department commanded a ladder company in the East Village to remove a flag honoring six of the company's men who perished on 9/11 after a resident complained it was a 'fascist' symbol.

The order arrived on March 22 after a man who the New York Post reports claimed to be a staffer for progressive Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera, confronted firefighters at Ladder Company 11.

The man pulled up to the firehouse on a bike and told firefighters he works for Rivera and that the politician's office had complained several days earlier about the flag.

The 'thin red line' flag, which is a black-and-white American flag with a red line across the middle, is meant to show solidarity with firefighters who have fallen or been injured on the job.

The man reportedly called the flag a 'fascist symbol' and asked to know why it remained up.

They have since been allowed to put it back.

The Councilwoman

Rivera, a progressive NYC politician and former official member of the Democratic Socialists of America, voted with her colleagues in 2020 to strip the NYPD of $1billion in funding.

I guess they figured sending the Ceasar Chavez message to the Spanish language side would resonate better than a trans Easter diss sent to like a 90% Catholic audience. Though apparently, the Chavez who was a hero to the left when I was younger is not so much of a hero to the modern woke left, or modern latinos, given his anti-immigrant stance.

"When crime becomes a political problem, Democrats find nothing better to do than resort to cops, prisons and other Republican-branded strategies to address it."

I often, in my tiny mind, see the political divide in the U.S. as one of modern v post-modern. "Modern" in the sense that the modern era in Western civilization begins somewhere around the year 1500, and ends sometime in the past 50 years.

With the modern age, we eventually got modern policing, and the use of incarceration (instead of execution, torture, or corporal punishment) for most serious crimes. That started not with the Republican Party (nor with slave patrols as some race-obsessed Marxists would like to believe), but in Europe (if memory serves), especially with Robert Peel's "bobbies."

So just another data point for my modern v post-modern model, I guess. They think they're rejecting the right. They're really rejecting the modern age. "In favor what?" is the frightening question.

Non-binary Canadian seeks public funding for surgery to create vagina while preserving penis

Quote
A non-binary Canadian is seeking to undergo surgery in Texas to construct a vagina while preserving the penis – using taxpayer funds for the unusual gender-affirming procedure.

The 33-year-old Ontario resident, referred to as K.S. in court papers, was born male but identifies as non-binary and “literally a mix” of genders, according to the National Post.

K.S., who has experienced gender dysphoria since a teen, also identifies as female dominant and uses a female name.

Quote
A gender clinic in Texas dubbed 'Frankenstein's lab' has performed hundreds of unconventional genital surgeries that many experts describe as 'dangerous.'

The Crane Center for Transgender Surgery in Austin bills itself as a world leader in operations for non-binary people - those who don't identify exclusively with one gender.

The surgeries include giving patients a penis and vagina, or completely removing their sex organs, essentially 'Barbie-dolling your genitals,' as one critic put it.

The center director, Dr Curtis Crane, has previously bragged he couldn't 'think of a surgical request that I haven't been able to fulfill.'

Prices for the procedures range from $10,000 to $70,000 depending on the complexity.

LGBTQ groups say the operations benefit patients' mental health, while opponents say it shows how far off the rails gender-affirming treatment has gone.

With tinfoil in place, I can see parallels between this and what a national red flag law would do in the US (not to mention many democrats here want the same thing Scotland has). While I'm sure a good number of these calls swamping Scottish police are people doing so to kibosh the law (such as reporting the Scottish PM, who did in fact commit "hate speech" under the new law), there are far too many people who would joyfully turn on their neighbors for a political agenda. I say this as I read this morning that a DC jury just convicted a grandmother for praying in the Capitol on 06JAN.

Seattle dance squad says they were told American flag shirts made audience members feel 'triggered and unsafe'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/seattle-dance-squad-says-american-flag-shirts-made-audience-members-feel-triggered-unsafe

Quote
Members of a regional women’s country line dance team were reportedly kicked out of a Seattle dance convention after organizers claimed their American flag-themed shirts made some attendees feel "triggered and unsafe."

Over the weekend at the Emerald City Hoedown in Seattle, the Borderline Dance team was set to perform, but were essentially told they weren't welcome by organizer Rain Country Dance Association, an LGBTQ+ dance community, over their matching American flag themed shirts, Jason Rantz reported for 770 KTTH.

"Unfortunately, what our team was met with upon arrival was that our flag tops were offensive to some of the convention goers," the dance group posted to Facebook. "There was a small group that felt ‘triggered and unsafe.'"

And another group was told the same thing for the same reason.
Those who were triggered should be put on a one way plane to their non-triggering country of choice. If they don't choose one one will be chosen for them.

Are jobs like Door Dash paying instantly, and that's what some people expect now? My current job is the first I've had in a long time that pays weekly, instead of bi-weekly, and that's one of the best things about it.

Some of the younger folk I work with are now using apps that'll pay you daily.  Part of the "gotta have it NOW!" thing I guess.

ETA:  The pay checks are bi-weekly.

My first professional job out of college was working as a small town newspaper reporter.

We were paid weekly when I first started... $111.40 a week net.

That's when minimum wage was $3.35 an hour.

But, given the hours I was working, I was probably actually making about $1.50 to $2 an hour most weeks.

Having been retired for a while and on the direct deposit (and I even used to get paper checks!) gov teat before that, is this some new thing bigger corporations are doing to keep employees? Or even smaller businesses? Seems like it would complicate bookkeeping.

The kids are using a third party app.  Not sure how the app folks make their money, they don't deduct anything from the kids' pay & I'm positive this corp isn't going to pay for the kid's to get their money early.  When using these apps one doesn't have to take their pay daily, it can be used to simply track what the next payday will bring in.

I admit I had second thoughts when Intuit hit me up for $219 for TurboTax this year.  Seems like it's not the deal it used to be, even with complicated taxes.  I might shop around next year.

(It was 2230 14 Apr 24 when I saw that price, so they got me this year)

I bought it on Amazon for closer to $50 in January because I like to have the program on my computer.  Finally did my taxes this month.  This is the first year TT make me set up an account.  Usually I just had to upload last year's file and get started. 

The only upsell I have seen is at the tail end where they ask you if you want a manual review by a "tax professional" and some sort of audit protection.  I have always declined that.  It was just at the tail end prior to submittal and I never cared. 

I have heard the online version is free.  Does that try to upset you or play ads during the process?

The online version is free until you try to file.  You need to pay them before it'll e-file.  I've never tried to get it to spit out a printed 1040 that I could mail in without paying, but that *might* be possible.  I also didn't think about fees going up as the 15th approches, but that makes sense.

Finally, on closer examination, I may have accidently opted into "Live help" and audit protection.  It looks like I could have gotten away with $129 if I had clicked the right radio button.  It defaults to the mid priced plan, and I thought I had clicked cheaper, but it looks like not.  That $90 is on me, I guess.  Live and learn (to click carefully).

Most of articles I found googling it basically go on to say you're a bigot if you have a problem with it. Most basically run wild with the "logic" that if there could have been black Vikings there must have been black Vikings thus Haakon Jarl must of have been a black woman.
This is right up there with people complaining there are no black samurai in Shogun

Remake the movie Zulu (about Roark's Drift) but with all the races reversed.  Have a bunch of white guys running around as native Zulu warriors.  Then hire black actors to play the British officers and soldiers (with proper British accents).  IMO, keep the script exactly the same.  I think that would be highly entertaining.   =D

I'd like to see a biographical movie made today about a Lithuanian-born talent who was one of the most highly regarded and highly paid actors of the 1920s - I'm speaking of course about the immortal Al Jolson.

Casting would be interesting (Maybe Justin Trudeau after he leaves office)* and I wonder how they'd write the screenplay now in 2024.

NARF (Naval Air Rework Facility) Alameda used to to be one of the places that did P3 rework and I dreaded having to take a plane there because invariably the guys that had never been to Alameda would want to go bar hopping. Usually we would stay in Alameda but every now and then someone would want to go to Oakland. I usually went back to the hotel at that point. I can't imagine how much crime there was when there were carriers homeported in Alameda because it is nothing to get to/from Oakland in Alameda.

I've done several exercises in and out of Mare Island, and Alameda (we berth over by USS Hornet). I went out on the town the first couple times, but now it's one of port where I just stay in the boat.  The Army has had to start locking our exercise participants down and not letting them off base because too many soldiers were getting mugged in Oakland.

We go explore the port towns in Djibouti, Santo Domingo, Puerto Cortes, and I've hit the markets in Baghdad.  I'll skip Oakland though.

One thing I'll say about Bill Maher is that he's consistent in his beliefs. He's not really red-pilled, he's just been standing in the same place he always was and is looking around going "WTF?"

I still disagree with Maher on all kinds of things, but they're the same things I disagreed with him on 20 years ago. As to his current views, I agree with him on things like the above, which all sane people of all political persuasions agree on.
