California Bakeries Refuse To Make "Trump Cake"

                Nine-year-old Dylan “Pickle” Harbin is a big fan of President Trump. Presidential press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made that clear to all when she publicly read a letter Dylan wrote to the president, in which he offered to mow the White House lawn. After Huckabee shared the boy’s letter with the media, the Washington Post tracked down- and interviewed- his family.

                The paper discovered that Pickle’s mom SueAnn tried to get him a “Trump” cake- one that looked similar to a “Make America Great Again” hat- for his ninth birthday, but multiple bakeries in their home state of California refused to make the cake. 

                Strangely, most of the rest of the mainstream media didn’t deem this worthy of reporting, and there was no outcry whatsoever from progressives on social media or anywhere else. Yet several Christian bakers are still dealing with the repercussions of their refusals to bake cakes for gay weddings, and at least one of them was forced to attend “re-education” training. Chilling.

                Logically, this story should put liberals in a pickle. If private citizens who own a small business can be forced to make cakes for gay weddings, regardless of their beliefs, shouldn’t they also have to make them for a youngster who likes his president? What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Or is that phrase now verboten by the gender gestapo?

                Of course, the private business owner should have the right to adhere to his or her religious beliefs. And, since progressivism/leftism appears to be a virtual religion to those who carry its water, perhaps neither the Christian baker nor the anti-Trump baker should be forced to make a cake for someone.

                Wouldn’t that be sweet?

                

The New York Times Falsely Claims It "Exclusively Obtained" Climate Change Report

                The New York Times, a.k.a. “The Truth,” recently “quoted” unnamed scientists who supposedly told the paper they were afraid President Trump would try to suppress an extensive new federal climate change report. The Times stated that this “directly contradicts claims by President Trump and members of his cabinet.” The paper went so far as to assert it had “exclusively obtained” the report, and was the first to report on it.

                Unfortunately for the Times, it turns out the government never held the report in an unreleased status, and that the report has been available on the internet since at least January. Scientists who wrote the report pointed out this slight oversight, with one posting this message on social media: “Important to point out that this report was already accessible to anyone who cared to read it during public review & comment time. Few did.” Ouch.

                This prompted the Times to add a correction to the bottom of its story: “An article on Tuesday about a sweeping federal climate change report referred incorrectly to the availability of the report. While it was not widely publicized, the report was uploaded by the nonprofit Internet Archive in January; it was not first made public by The New York Times.” Oddly, the paper didn’t tout its “exclusive correction.”

                We shouldn’t be too hard on these objective journalists, though. After all, they were too busy reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion scandal to go online and fact-check a climate change story. There probably wasn’t any leftover room in the paper, either.

                The truth is: these are sad Times, indeed.

                Look for the “Newspaper of Record” to soon claim it has exclusively obtained information pertaining to- and will be the first to report on- the resignation of President Richard Nixon, the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, and the Gettysburg Address. 

PETA Says Cheese Is The "Most Sexist Thing You Can Eat"

                 PETA is cheesed off! Again. What has People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals so upset this time, you may ask? The illustrious Norfolk, VA.-based organization is gobsmacked that people are still consuming…cheese. The radical animal-rights entity recently wrote a blog post stating that cheese is the “most sexist thing you can eat” because it’s the “product of imprisonment, rape, reproductive control, kidnapping, and abuse.”

                Who says leftists have no sense of humor?

                The vehement and vociferous Veganites want to stop this exploitation (sexploitation?) of female cows now: “Contrary to popular belief, female cows produce milk only when they’re pregnant or nursing. They make milk for the same reason that human women do: to feed their babies. Cows who are imprisoned on dairy farms are forcibly impregnated through artificial insemination again and again on rape racks,” the blog post stated. Rape racks?

               “Tiffany, put down your milk glass and slowly back away from the table! Heather, drop your grilled cheese sandwich this instant! Do you girls want to aid and abet the rape of females?”

  PETA milks this subject for all it’s worth. The blog post ends with an impassioned plea for everyone to see the light and become vegans: “Help end violence, reproductive control, and rape of females of animal species who desperately need us to speak up for them. Try delicious plant-based milk, vegan cheese, and dairy-free yogurt. Mothers, and all females, deserve better.” All females? And who’ll stop the plant-rape? Are they not delicate yet important members of our ecosystem, selflessly giving off life-enabling oxygen?  

 PETA doesn’t care about flora, but wants everybody to cut-the-cheese…from their diets. We don’t want PETA to have a cow, do we? So, let’s all make “Big Cheese” cry over spilt milk, and eliminate dairy farms.

PETA intends to end all meat, seafood, and dairy consumption, fur and leather use, trapping, factory farming, bull fighting, and rodeos. It has already put an end to the iconic Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus. And that’s for starters. It wants to put all pet shops out of business, or at least those that sell…pets. It wants a total ban on the medical testing of animals. And it seeks to ban fishing and hunting. And zoos…and on and on…until the cows come home. To hell with jobs and the economy.

The organization, much like Planned Parenthood, thinks of itself as a bit of a sacred cow. It also, apparently, thinks cows, unlike babies, are sacred. (I guarantee you that most members of PETA are “pro-choice.” It is also likely that most of the folks running PP are “pro-PETA”).  Also like Planned Parenthood, it certainly is a cash cow, receiving nearly $66 million in donations in 2016.

Perhaps that’s why PETA leapt at the chance to pay for one of India’s (speaking of sacred cows) most prominent LGBT activist’s vegan lunch with a longed-for prospective husband. Sure, Harish Iyer could pay for the romantic tête-à-tête himself…but why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

Rosie O'Donnell Says Women Might Have To Start Their Own Political Party

                Rosie O’Donnell railed against Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Ben Ray Luján’s recent revelation that there will be no “litmus test” for Democratic candidates entering the 2018 midterm elections.  This led Ms. O’Donnell to tweet out a plea urging her female fans to start their own party if the Democratic Party backs candidates who don’t support abortion rights.

                Luján told The Hill: “As we look at candidates across the country, you need to make sure you have candidates that fit the district, that can win in these districts across America.” This statement enraged the already unstable O’Donnell, who then posted this follow-up tweet: “Fight the men who want to take away womens rights IN OUR OWN PARTY? f—k them for even considering it- seriously- #IStandWithPP.” (Sic). Sick.

 O’Donnell also recently shared a link to an online game that allows players to push President Trump off a cliff, making it doubly clear that she is a big fan of casual cruelty as well as murder. It is telling that she claims to be adamantly “pro-choice,” yet is so vehemently- and viciously- against the Democratic Party possibly backing a candidate who might have a more open mind on (at least) that one subject.  

                After her party lost to Trump in the most recent presidential election due to its outright disdain for those in the heartland who hold differing views than their fellow citizens nestled in the wombs of coastal metropolises, one would think Rosie would cheer the rational approach to the mid-term elections that Luján is taking. But, maybe she just hates Latinos. Or men. Or both.

Ironically, if women, long the mainstays of the DFL, were to give birth to “their own party,” they would be essentially repealing the 19^th Amendment, as well as condemning the Democratic Party to utter irrelevance for the foreseeable future, in effect aborting both party’s votes.

Even more ironically, hers is the only viable path forward that can save the United States of America, as the more perceptive of you will realize I’ve just stated.

                Go, Rosie, go!

                Permit me, if you will, another observation.

                Starting one’s own party because the one of which you currently are a member may decide to let someone who isn’t strictly pro-the-murder-of-babies-for-one’s-own-convenience run for office is bizarrely, militantly, heinously, intolerant.

                This would be like men starting their own party because the one they are a member of considered backing a candidate who might not be completely comfortable with “pro-choice” men’s assertions that they should be allowed to routinely, brutally, rape women (and receive taxpayer funding to do so!) because no one has the right to “dictate what they do with their own bodies.”  

                It is a shame that O’Donnell’s own parents apparently did not share her extreme views on abortion.

Washington State Goes To Pot

                A new law imposing stiff penalties on those who drive while under the influence…of electronics… goes into effect in Washington state soon. The new law, commonly referred to as “E-DUI,” was enacted in an attempt to reduce distracted driving. The state’s drivers will no longer be allowed to use a cell phone- or any electronic device- while driving, even when stopped at a traffic light.

                The bill was proposed in response to a reported 32 percent increase in deaths from distracted driving from 2014 to 2015. Washington Governor Jay Inslee, standing on the steps of the state Capitol in Olympia, said: “Put the cell phones down, preserve life. When you are driving with a cell phone, you are a more dangerous driver than if you are driving drunk with a .08 blood alcohol level.”

                State troopers will hand out warnings for the first few months before they start writing tickets. The first citation will cost drivers $136. A second within five years will result in a $236 fine. (A third such infraction will result in the death penalty, but only if the driver is a white male. Just kidding. Lighten up, Francis).

                Tickets issued for driving while electronically impaired will go on a motorist’s record and be reported to their insurance provider, according to a state-run website. Gov. Inslee says he believes this law will be as successful as the “click it, or ticket” seat-belt law that now has a 95% compliance rate in the Evergreen State.

                Under the new law, drivers can also get a $99 ticket for “other distractions,” such as grooming, smoking, eating or reading, if it interferes with safe driving and they are pulled over for another traffic offense. Sewing or knitting, working on a crossword puzzle, playing solitaire, changing clothes, wearing earmuffs or headphones, playing Pokémon Go, having sex, playing a musical instrument, and taking a dump are also believed to be verboten.  

                Gov. Inslee boasted that passing the electronic driving while impaired bill was a huge step forward for his state, saying: “There’s hardly anything we’ve done in the last several years at the state Capitol to save more lives than this distracted driving law.”

                It is odd that Washington doesn’t tolerate driving while under the influence of alcohol, or driving “while under the influence of electronics,” but is apparently perfectly okay with motorists driving while under the influence of marijuana. It is particularly odd considering that, according to the state’s own Marijuana Impact Report, incidents of marijuana-impaired driving have increased dramatically since the state legalized “recreational” use of the drug in 2012. What’s more, fatal driving accidents increased by an incredible 122 percent from 2010 to 2014 alone, according to the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission.

                Yes, you can be well and truly baked- like an Idaho potato- behind the wheel in Washington, but don’t reach for a beer…or your phone.

                The state of Washington is literally going to pot.

Washington, D.C. To Issue Gender-Neutral Driver's Licenses

WJLA-TV reported that Washington, D.C. recently became the first U.S. jurisdiction to issue gender-neutral driver’s licenses. Residents of the nation’s capital who don’t identify as either a man or a woman now have the option to choose to have an “X” put on their driver’s licenses where the stuffy old “M” for male or “F” for female would have been.

Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser (Dem.) released a statement recently trumpeting the change, saying that the city “has long been a leader in LGBTQ rights and gender issues, and this change is the most recent example of our city’s commitment to inclusivity.”

It’s certainly inclusive of morons.

In truth, it makes sense that the City of Magnificent Intentions should be so welcoming to gender-neutral people. Many in Congress appear to be Republicans, but act like Democrats most days. These non-binary, politically-neutral charlatans are thriving in the festering swamp. And we know that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have no balls.

If the “American Rome” wants to be truly progressive and inclusive, however, it should allow its denizens to put a letter by their birthdate, too. Why marginalize those who feel young one day and old another? Age is not a number. Moreover, “correct” addresses should no longer be necessary, especially in the DMV, of all places. Many residents of the District of Columbia and its surrounding municipalities have two or three…or more…homes. And what of those who think of themselves as Citizens of the World? Must we also unfairly pigeonhole that community? Then there is the driver’s license number itself. Is that all we are, a number? Talk about repressive! If we must have identification, the capital city should be the first to allow its motorists to create their own driver’s license I.D. For instance, it could be: AngenitalLGBTQ69 or DemifluidPatXOXO. How awesome would that be?

But, on a darker note, Rome fell because of invasion by external tribes, corruption in its own government that led to political instability and a loss of faith in leadership, and because it got soft and lost in frivolity. Sound familiar?

The American Rome is rapidly leading its citizens into the same abyss, for the same reasons.   

An Inconvenient Sequel: Al Gore, Mother Of All Hypocrites

                Inveterate hypocrite, eco-snob, fake do-gooder, and irritating importuner-in-chief Al Gore has a new movie coming out. Yes, it’s about global warming again, and is titled “An Inconvenient Sequel.”

                I’m guessing the Nashville Nag forgot to mention in his own film that his Tennessee home is estimated to use between 12 and 34 times the energy that the average American household consumes. In fact, the Daily Caller reports that the energy spent to heat Gore’s swimming pool alone would heat six typical American abodes for a year.

                ABC reported that the former Vice-president ran up a $30,000 a month power bill…back in 2007. And reports indicate that the charlatan of climate change has actually increased his energy usage over the years. Moreover, the Capital City Huckster flies around the world on private planes to badger folks about their energy use, and is usually chauffeured in limousines whilst travelling on land, so it is likely that the energy expended in his travels is even greater than that demanded by his residence. Seems like Mr. Gore doesn’t like to be inconvenienced.

                Gore, who has a net worth of over $176 million, has publicly stated that his home is completely powered by renewable energy, but it turns out that claim was as inaccurate as many of those in his doomsday sermons on climate change. Only about 3% of the electricity used at the Gore Mansion comes from sustainable energy sources. Three percent is less than 100%, Al. An inconvenient fact, indeed.

                A hallmark of progressive dogma is its endless imperative, through Godless evangelism, to instruct other people how to live their lives, while letting the Godless evangelist personally do whatever he or she desires even as he or she feels morally superior to those just hectored. In that, at least, Al Gore has succeeded.

                Algorithm: “a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end…”

                AlGoreithm: “1) I lecture you. 2) You conserve energy. 3) I use the energy you conserved.”

               

Sayonara, North Korea

                North Korea has vowed to “turn the United States into a pile of ash” if President Trump attempts to undermine the Hermit Kingdom’s nuclear capabilities by force. Minju Choson, the state-run newspaper, warned the erstwhile most powerful country on earth that military confrontation between the two nations will “inevitably lead the U.S. to self-destruction.” Self-destruction? I thought you guys were going to turn us into a pile of ash? You need our help? (In fairness, if it were left up to the left, you’d get it).             

                Tensions between North Korea and the U.S. have further increased since the rogue state’s recent intercontinental ballistic missile launch appeared to prove that North Korea now has the ability to hit targets in the U.S. interior. And the North’s leader, dictator Kim Jong un, appears to believe that the United States is dead set on regime change, though no one in the U.S. government has officially verbalized such a goal. The official news agency of North Korea, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), warned that even “the slightest sign of attempt to remove our supreme leadership” will lead to a “merciless blow” with its “powerful nuclear hammer, honed and hardened over time.”

   Mike Pompeo, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, stated that the U.S. is working on a “wide range of options” for dealing with the North Korean threat, adding, “As for the regime, I'm hopeful we will find a way to separate that regime from this system.”

               KCNA, Kim Jong un’s mouthpiece, said those remarks demonstrate Pompeo’s “illiteracy” about North Korea and “an explicit illustration of incompetence of the U.S. intelligence community.”  It then threatened Pompeo directly, saying he will “bitterly experience catastrophic and miserable consequences” by daring to shake his “little fists” at the Kim regime.

  Sounds like somebody needs a nap.  

              The KCNA also opined that North Korea “must preemptively annihilate those countries and entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it by mobilizing all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones.” Say what?

              The obviously insane Kim Jong Un needs to be the victim of the extreme methods of killing that he himself has employed on anyone he deems unworthy of his “greatness.” Special forces should see to his capture, if possible. Relatives of those he has tortured and murdered should be granted the privilege of eviscerating him via anti-aircraft gunfire. And then they should smile, shake hands with those around them, and laugh, like the insane dictator himself does after another rival is exterminated or another successful missile launch has occurred.

             Not convinced that Jong un is insane? Following a recent U.S.-South Korea joint missile test, Rodong Sinmun, North Korea’s state-run newspaper, boasted: “Every minute and every second, the new reality that U.S. mainland is on the knife’s edge of life and death is forcing U.S. administration to wave a white flag and fundamentally change her North Korea policy.”

            “It is not the denuclearization of N. Korea, but the security of U.S. mainland which should be the top priority of Trump administration,” the article continued. Then came this threat: “If U.S. still refuses to accept such a realistic demand and doggedly pursue hostile policy against North Korea in order to save face, she will receive unexpected ‘gift packages’ which we will continue to send.”         

             It is time for the United States to take actions worthy of its wildly successful past and to stop caring about what any other country thinks of those actions. Period. Many around the world hate us. Good for them. Some around the world revere us. Good for them. A few are plotting our destruction. Good for them. Untold millions are rooting for us. Good for them.

Yet, everyone has been the beneficiary of American largesse. We have defeated nations who have attacked us without warning, and given them billions of dollars to rebuild. We have donated more money to global relief and charity than any other nation, and probably all other nations combined. We have, without doubt, unshackled more people from government bondage than all other nations combined. And we have nearly always considered the interests of other nations before- and after- taking action.

Whether for our own national security interests, or that of our allies, or even the safety and stability of the “global community” in general, it is time for us to take action.

It is time for the United States to reckon with the Hermit Kingdom, even by wiping North Korea off the face of the earth, if necessary. Period. I do not say this lightly. It is a tragedy that it has come to this, due to leftist’s engagement and appeasement policies, but we cannot countenance the potential destruction of any American city or military base…or a South Korean or Japanese city, either.

            The gullible fools- in both parties- who thought China might be leveraged to help de-escalate the situation have, predictably, been proven wrong. Screw China. Screw Russia. And, if necessary, Iran should meet the same fate that the Hermit Kingdom must soon be dealt. Courtesy of the red, white and blue.

            So, burn, Pyongyang, burn…and let freedom ring.

Period.  

Crayola Shocks Crayon World With Introduction Of Progressive New Color!

Tuesday, August 8, 2017

News Services-

            Crayola has broken the coloring barrier.

The iconic Easton, Pennsylvania based manufacturer of kid’s creative art supplies has added a new and truly transformative hue: "transcolor." Sources say the company wanted to burnish its image as a progressive, inclusive, forward-looking business. One of these highly-placed sources told me, on condition of anonymity, that “the company was proud that it has previously attempted to gather all the colors of the rainbow, if you know what I mean, into one box. But this is a brave new world.” The source said of the new tone, “It can be any color, all colors, or no color at all, at any given time. Or any mix thereof.”

Analysts were taken by surprise at the company’s announcement, and experts have generally been effusive in their praise of the development. “I thought they hung the moon when they came out with Outrageous Orange, Beaver, Blush, Mauvelous, Jazzberry Jam and Tickle Me Pink,” said one, “but this tops them all!”

Another stated: “They are to paraffin wax what Michelangelo was to marble. And this will take the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America to a whole new level!”

One analyst offered words of caution, however, stating, “If you really think about it, this new ‘Transcolored’ tone sort of renders all of the other colors moot. When they realize this, I’d look for Crayola to go to a one crayon business model moving forward, if only for the cost savings.”

            A spokesperson for Crayola says the company originally started studying the concept "a year or so ago," due to the rapid acceptance of transgenderism. The new "trans crayon" is currently in production and is expected to be available to consumers by October 1st.

Men's Sperm Counts Plummeting In Secular West

                Sperm counts among Western men have dramatically declined in the past 40 years, plunging to record lows, new research reveals. Dr. Hagai Levine and Dr. Shanna H. Swan, from the Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, screened 185 studies of men’s reproductive health that took place between 1973 and 2011, and found that men’s sperm levels have dropped by more than 50% in that period. And the decline shows no signs of slowing down.

                In lockstep with Western civilization itself.

                Dr. Swan stated: “Decreasing sperm count has been of great concern since it was first reported 25 years ago. This shows the decline is strong and continuing.” The study, published in the Human Reproduction Update, found no significant decline in sperm count in males from South America, Asia and Africa.  

                The assessment, analyzing results from many thousands of men, showed that the rate of decline is increasing, leading Dr. Levine, an epidemiologist, to say that he was “very worried” about what might happen in the future. In fact, he told the BBC that if the trend continued, humans would become extinct.

                This should be a big story.

                The study did not examine causes of the collapse, but scientists seem to believe it may have something to do with the amount of chemicals used in everyday products, and are therefore placing the blame on industry and farming. “The fact that the decline is seen in Western countries strongly suggests that chemicals in commerce are playing a causal role in this trend,” Levine said. He added, “Eventually we may have a problem, and with reproduction in general, and it may be the extinction of the human species.”

                Dang. But what really matters is that we keep fully funding Planned Parenthood.

                It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist- or any type of scientist- to divine why this crash is occurring. Masculinity is being marginalized, mocked and demeaned on all fronts. Men are routinely made to look like fools on television shows, in commercials, and in movies. Government policies marginalize men, pushing them away from any type of commitment, let alone marriage. Men often have little say in reproductive decisions. In many cases in recent years, women can get more benefits for having additional children…if they aren’t married, yet married couples face a tax penalty. More women than men attend college now…where male students are firmly counseled against exhibiting any and all types of masculine behavior.

                Traditionally male occupations are under attack. Football and hockey are now considered by many to be too physical and dangerous. The police are everywhere literally and figuratively under assault. Men are made to feel ashamed as women have been empowered. Men have been feminized as well as infantilized. There is no need for this.

                We’ve transitioned from men working on farms and hunting and fishing…to the age of the “metrosexual.” Now, even that is passé. We are entering an era of transgenders and non-genders. Men are less manly. Women used to like “the strong and silent type.” Now many men are of the “weak and chatty” variety. These are the reasons sperm counts are declining so rapidly.

Ironically (there’s that word again), most women still crave a masculine man, as is proven by the staggering number of Fifty Shades of Gray style romance-series novels out there, many of which are best-sellers. They often want men to be in charge, mentally and physically, yet, in large part because of the feminist movement they’ve led, applauded, bought into, or tolerated, this is less and less often the case.

It used to be said that “a good man was hard to find.” Some women lasciviously modified the cliché to read: “A hard man is good to find.” Someday soon, a hard man will be impossible to find.  

John Donne wrote a book titled, “No man is an island.” If progressives have their way, no man will be a man, either.

After his dismissal as Commander-In-Chief of United Nations forces in Korea in April, 1951, General Douglas Macarthur told Congress- and the Western world: “I now close my military career and just…fade away.” Eventually, Western man will just fade away as well, and with him Western civilization.

And unlike Macarthur in World War II, we will not return.
