Randi Weingarten's Fourth Of July Tweet Embarrassing, Deleted

 

Randi Weingarten is the president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)…and a blithering idiot. It is no wonder that she often restricts replies to her posts. Weingarten posted this gem on July 4th: "Hoping this 4rth of July the sun starts peaking thru again.” 4rth of July? And, in this context, “peeking” would be the applicable word, Ms. Weingarten.

She also tweeted: “The Big Ugly Bill was signed into law today. We’re going to do all we can to support the kids and communities who will be harmed by the massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich—and yes, we will be holding folk accountable for their votes.”

See if you can decipher what is wrong with this line/assertion: “Massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich.”

This is a remarkably poor choice of words. “Massive?!” “Wealth?!” There can’t be a massive transfer of wealth…from the poor to the rich. Largely because if the poor had massive amounts of wealth they wouldn’t be “poor.” This is not a difficult concept to grasp, except, apparently, for Marxist “educators” hell bent on scaring people…and upset that any transfer of wealth isn’t going to them this time.

Mr. Ms. Weingarten also spent the 4th—I mean 4rth—trafficking in other posts and reposts, apparently including this one from @TimothyDSnyder: “With the passage of Trump’s death bill, we face the prospect of many great harms, including an archipelago of concentration camps across the United States.”

“Death bill?!” “Archipelago of concentration camps?!” What kind of talk is that?! Leftist tweets like this are so preposterous as to be amusing. They might as well tweet, “I have a 23-inch penis” or “Saw 3 unicorns today.” It is pathetic and embarrassing. They are like the boy who cried “wolf!” Except, in this case, they are the boy who cried “Hitler!”

Takes one to know one, I guess.

Tired Of Winning Yet? Trump And His Fantastic, Excellent, Very Good, Outstanding Week

What a week he is having! Or month. Or first 5 & ½ months of his presidency. The “he” of whom I speak, is, of course, President Donald J. Trump. Has any president ever had a couple of weeks like the past two for Trump? Has any president ever had such a torrid and impactful start to his term? The border is secure, something many thought impossible a relative blink of an eye ago. The stock market, S & P 500 and Dow Jones alike, is at an all-time high. Tariffs have brought in large sums of money to the treasury…or wherever it goes. Yet inflation is down. Real wages are up. Illegal aliens are being sent back. Crime is down. Optimism is up, at least among the rational and attentive.

Our NATO partners seem to have finally pledged to contribute 5% of their GDP to their own defense. Viable trade deals have been negotiated between the U.S. and several other nations. Iran’s nuclear weapons program has been dealt a serious blow. There is, perhaps, now a better chance of lasting peace in the Middle East. The Trump administration, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has secured a peace treaty between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda, nations that have been fighting for literally decades. (Trump has once again been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.)

And just days ago, Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” was passed by the Senate and the House, a major victory for the Winner-in-Chief. And I could go on.

Trump is a true “Independent-Republican,” and has essentially overridden and demolished the old country club Republican Party. Thank God. Trump, perhaps more justifiably than almost anyone else, could be a snobbish, uncaring elitist. He is not. He is the opposite. He truly cares about the “common man.” It honestly pains him when there is needless death and destruction, whether in his own country or abroad. He doesn’t revel in the deaths of Ukranians, Russians, Israelis, or Palestinians for that matter. For some reason, he even purportedly declined to target Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei for assassination.

Yet he has Americans’ backs. If aggressive action must be taken to protect Americans, he will do so…anywhere in the world. But he knows that unquestioned strength is the best—indeed the only—way to prevent war and conflict in the future.

Make no mistake about it, Trump is the Republican party right now. And RINOs better learn that lesson once and for all. MAGA is—and has to be—the future of the GOP. Fortunately, many have come to that realization, and the likes of J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard, et. al., make that clear.

Godspeed to all of them. And may God bless America.

A Tale Of Two Societies On This Fourth Of July

 

There are two different societies in the West, perhaps particularly in the U.S. and Canada. This striking dichotomy is not, per se, between Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, white folk and people of color, or even rich and poor. It is the profound difference between those in large urban areas and those who live in the country and more remote places. It is nearly all-encompassing. City-dwellers tend to be far more “progressive.” By necessity they often need to rely on others for transportation. Many of the “elites” in coastal metropolises couldn’t change a tire or fix a leaky faucet to save their souls. By contrast, those who reside in the country tend to be much more self-sufficient, and far less entitled. Most are capable of growing, building, and fixing things. These “flyover country” folks provide everyone with food, lumber, and energy. And they are too often reviled for doing so.

In large part, the majority of Albertans share the same values and outlook as the majority of those who live in, say, Wyoming or Oklahoma. It would certainly be less frustrating—and likely more beneficial—for these hardy souls to join together. Especially to help overcome the punitive policies and smug attitudes of the massive federal bureaucracies that comprise and surround Ottawa and Washington. The same could be said of Dutch or German farmers, fishermen—and many others who labor with their hands and hearts.

How do we make this happen? Who makes the first move? This potentially could be so much more than “sister cities.” It would be a coalition of the willing and productive…and yet would stand expressly and steadfastly against “One World Government” and rampant globalism.

The Leftist leviathan never stops pushing to make the world Marxist. Islam never stops trying to make the world Muslim. The WHO, the WEF, the UN, and various other international agencies and organizations are always all too willing to take our money and tell us what to do. And now, entrenched bureaucrats in the Deep States and the leftists in positions of power combine to try to prevent their political opposition from getting on the ballot…or even existing at all. This is radically anti-democratic, no matter their preposterous rhetoric. And it poses an existential danger to freedom, natural rights, and the very livelihood of countless millions. Moreover, too many Western leaders in too many Western nations seem hell-bent on replacing their native populations with illegal/undocumented immigrants. Or, at the very least, ignoring their wishes while catering to the migrants. This egregious usurping of control must not stand.

Marx’s Communist manifesto famously contained the slogan, “Workers of the world, unite!” Communism didn’t work out well for the workers. It never does and never will. It can’t, because of human nature and certain irrefutable economic principles.

That said, the producers of the world should unite. Extraction workers, energy producers, fishermen, farmers, lumbermen, builders, etc. And all those who rely on them. In Ayn rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” they just disappeared. We need to do the opposite. We need to publicly and visibly reach out to each other and stand with each other to the greatest extent possible. When Germany’s AfD party is threatened with being outlawed, when a tweet disagreeing with the English government can get you fined and/or imprisoned, when a political leader that wishes to “drain The Swamp” is nearly assassinated—twice—when those in Washington, Ottawa, and Brussels essentially attempt to ban farming and the production of oil, coal, and gas, and when globalists want you to eat bugs not meat… it is time to make a stand. Against tyranny, intolerance, and insanity.

Dutch farmers, Edmonton and Texas oilmen, and West Virginian coal producers all have a common interest. In truth, most of us who live in rural areas do. Yet we are outvoted by a few large cities. And used by those in power who mock us.

There is a great scene in the hit television show “Landman” (language alert) in which Tommy explains to a young Eastern hotshot lawyer why petroleum is so necessary to the world. He tells it like it is and she is flustered. She gets even more flustered when a rattlesnake threatens to bite her. She is paralyzed with fear until Tommy chops the head of the snake off with a shovel. The lawyer is then upset that he killed the snake.

Progressives can bitch and moan about anything and everything, but the world owes a debt of gratitude to the producers, the men and women of vision, courage and capability who provide us with food and energy. It is time we (figuratively) cut off the head of the snake that threatens us. Our governments too often try to divide us. Let us come together in our quest for liberty and justice.

As someone once said, “We shall overcome.” Let’s do so together. Rise up, rubes. Fight back flyover folks.

I know it is far-fetched and naïve to think that this could really happen, but, after I finished writing this piece, I stumbled across this article. Could there really be a chance?

On this Independence Day, I say: “Let freedom ring!”

District Court Judge Claims Primacy Over U.S. Supreme Court

 

I know this is “old” news, but, hey, I was in Canada fishing last week…and it is an important story. So here goes:

Radical activist U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy previously blocked President Trump from deporting criminal illegal aliens to non-originating countries. This, understandably, prompted the Trump administration to appeal the injunction to the Supreme Court. The high court ruled in favor of the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

This did not deter Judge Murphy, who doubled down on his injunction, preposterously asserting that the Supreme Court decision does not pertain to his order. Hello?!

Indeed, in response to the Supreme Court overruling his decision, which it has every right to do, Judge Murphy said that his injunction blocking the deportation of certain non-citizens to third-party countries “remains in full force and effect.”

SAY WHAT?! You’ve gotta be kidding me! Defying a Supreme Court ruling? His injunction “remains in full force and effect?” Does he not understand the pecking order here? Who does he think he is?! Where are the “No Kings” protesters? There is a reason the highest court in the land is called the Supreme Court. Its job is, in part, to rule on lesser court’s findings. Murphy’s maniacal “ruling” (“Murphy’s Law?’) goes far beyond judicial tyranny…into the realm of insanity. He obviously is afflicted by a Napoleon Complex, but whether that Napoleon is Dynamite or Bonaparte is unclear.

Unlike the Supreme Court’s ruling.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Says Detained Cannibal Tried To "Eat Himself"

 

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared at a press conference recently with President Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The presser occurred at the remote Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility in the southern part of the Sunshine State, surrounded by gator-infested wetlands

Noem started off by thanking ICE officers and Border Patrol officers for their hard work and noted that “violence against them has increased over 500% since Trump has gone back into the White House—because he’s upholding the law, and because a bunch of liberals, socialists, and Marxists are out there lying about what President Trump is doing.” She called out CNN specifically for lying “every single day about what these operations are.”

Noem stated: “We are going after murderers, rapists, traffickers, and drug dealers—getting them off the streets and out of this country—because Joe Biden let the worst of the worst come in here.” She asserted that some of these criminals are “so deranged” they cannot be allowed to roam our streets.

And then she said this: “The other day, I was talking to some marshals who have been partnering with ICE. They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home. While they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention.”

This is obviously a sad and disturbing story…but sometimes you have to laugh to relieve the pain and sorrow and keep from going insane. I think there should be a new term for a cannibal that eats himself. “Cannibal” doesn’t do this person justice. More on that in a minute.

 If one was disposed to literally eat one’s self to death, where would one start? A thigh? A leg? A breast? I mean, there isn’t much meat on a foot or a hand. I suppose a person could tuck into a forearm. Persons so disposed could—literally—disarm themselves, no doubt making Democrats happy. Alternately, they might find that they—literally-- have no leg to stand on. But at least they’d be full. And they could make the phrase “bite the hand that feeds them” a reality. So many possibilities. Though some parts are hard to get at and would require much dexterity. And some parts are utterly inaccessible. And what kind of condiments would one employ to make one’s self taste better?

This is a topic you can really sink your teeth into!

Furthermore, instead of using the cruder but common “go bleep yourself” retort on someone with whom we are angry, we could instead say, “go eat yourself.” This would be even harder to accomplish, especially for the likes of Pritzker, Nadler, and Christie.

Speaking of which, I suggest “egoeaters” as the term for cannibals who actually consume themselves, but am open to suggestions. Please keep any comments clean, folks!

(Where else are you going to get classy, high-end writing like this, dear readers?! And for free!! I humbly aver nowhere.)

Marxist Muslim Mayoral Candidate Wins New York Primary

 

New York has fallen.

At the very least, New York City has collapsed. If Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should someday soon be kicked out of Persia, it is possible he could come to New York, where he would likely be elected mayor.

 The sequence of NYC mayors is astounding. From Guliani to Bloomberg to de Blasio to Adams. And perhaps soon to Zohran Mamdani, an avowed Marxist who has previously indicated his desire to “globalize the intifada.” (Mamdani defeated three-term ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the June 24th mayoral primary.) How to make a sh*thole city in four easy steps! The Chief of Police for the NYPD has already stated that, should Mamdani be elected, his pro-crime anti-cop policies would cause mass exodus from the city’s police force. The resultant effect would be catastrophic.

The Big Apple, not so long ago one of the safest big cities in the world, is now rotten to its core. “My kind of town,” “The city that never sleeps,” etc., is now no place for “infidels.” And a city that ever weeps. A sanctuary city for criminals. An asylum for the insane and outlandish.

When I set out writing this article, I did not intend to reference a musical piece. However, after reading that, should Mamdani win the general election, New York might well surrender its status as the financial hub of the U.S. to Miami, I had to include a few lines from the Billy Joel song, “Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway)”

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the ruins at my feet

You can see it coming in so many ways. The Empire City is no more. And, from a future perspective:

You know those lights were bright on Broadway
That was so many years ago
Before we all lived here in Florida
Before the Mafia took over Mexico
There are not many who remember
They say a handful still survive
To tell the world about
The way the lights went out
And keep the memory alive

I fear Billy was just off by about a decade. What’s next for Gotham City? Today’s fun—if tragic—fact: the term “Gotham” was borrowed from the English village of “Gotham,” known for its “simple-minded fools.”

If the shoe fits.

Chicago Teachers' Union President Says "All Children Belong To" The Union

 

Chicago Teachers' Union (CTU) president Stacy Davis Gates recently said that “all children belong to” the union. Seriously. For real.

According to the Daily Caller, Gates trashed President Trump for diminishing the power of teachers’ unions during a recent City Club Chicago event, going so far as to characterize Trump’s education agenda as a “re-litigation” of the Civil War. All while complaining about the failing state of Chicago schools.

Gates told the crowd, “The children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe.” Gates then mocked parents who might disagree by saying “CTU thinks your children are its children.” She added, “Yes, we do. We do.”

No, they aren’t. They aren’t, Gates. That view is the opposite of reality. Parents are in charge of their kids. And they pay you clowns to teach them well and respect them. Nothing less. You no more own other peoples’ kids than you own other peoples’ homes, cars, or spouses. And what the hell is “re-litigating the Civil War” supposed to mean? Might I remind Gates that the Republican Party was founded in large part to oppose slavery, and northern states (the Union) fought to banish it. By contrast, Democrats of the 1800s thought they owned their slaves, just like Gates and her ilk think they own your kids today.  

The failing state of Chicago schools is not hard to fathom. “Liberal” policies virtually guaranty that outcome. (See also: Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, etc.) Too many of today’s teachers just want to have sex with kids. And/or indoctrinate them. Too many other teachers want to shield students…from the truth. Far too few want to shield them from aberrant sexual practices.

As it turns out, we need a second Emancipation Proclamation. This one to free our children.

Democrats despised the original Emancipation Proclamation. They would hate this one, too.

Sologamy?

 

By now, I assume most of you have heard about “sologamy,” the practice of marrying one’s self. Kind of the opposite of “polygamy,” but not really any more traditional or inspiring.

This, from womensbusinessdaily.com:

In a 2019 Vogue interview, Emma Watson described herself as ‘self-partnered.’ She used the term to describe how she wasn’t pursuing a partnership but was instead focusing on ‘dating’ herself. The term ‘sologamy’ really isn’t much different. As opposed to monogamy, or even polyamory, someone prescribing to sologamy is first and foremost dedicated to loving themselves. This idea isn’t meant to promote selfishness and narcissism. Instead, it promotes self-love, focusing on improving and adoring yourself.” Alrighty then. Perhaps it is a tad narcissistic, but whatever, right?

And more from womensbusinessdaily.com:

“Kshama Bindu married herself in India’s first sologamous wedding. She performed many traditional Hindu wedding rituals but only invited 10 close friends and family members. She isn’t the first person to have a sologamous wedding. In 1993, a dental hygienist named Linda Baker in LA declared she was tired of ‘waiting for the chain of events that lead up to feasting on [a] wedding cake.’ So she invited seventy-five friends to watch her marry herself, becoming ‘her own lovely wedded person.’”

Sologamy, you say? I have one question: what if you asked yourself to marry yourself and you turned yourself down? That would be heartbreaking! Would you have recourse against yourself?

Would it be possible to leave yourself at the altar? That would be a bummer.

But why not marry yourself? I mean, everyone else is flawed, right?

These Brave New Times are so liberating and intoxicating for open-minded progressives like us!

I can’t wait until I can renew my vows with myself! So meaningful and special!

Kids? Don’t harsh my mellow, dude! The last thing this world needs is more kids—even if they should somehow happen to turn out as great as me.

 

Should The U.S. Give The American Southwest Back To Mexico?

 

A Blogger Exclusive

             Some lefties would like the U.S. to give the southwest back to Mexico-- and maybe the vast midsection of the country to France. Oh, and the eastern seaboard to England... as long as the English agree to quickly pull up and head back east across the ocean to their little Isle. Is there anything else we can give back?

Well, while we're at it, perhaps we could expunge some of the ideas and concepts that we have conceived and/or perfected here. Little things, such as natural rights, the rule of law, a jury of one’s peers-- and limited government of, by, and for the people. U.S. out. Bye!

But is even this really enough?

If we do this, perhaps the rest of the world should give back their land too... to the people they stole it from. Who can then return it to the people they stole it from, ad infinitum. Until, perhaps, humanity has retreated back to the Cradle of Civilization…never to venture forth again.

Perfect, no?
