New York Cracks Down On Recalcitrant Jews

              After Black Lives Matter riots destroy whole city blocks and Antifa burns down building after building, newspapers like the Washington Post run headlines such as: “Huge, Peaceful Protests Mark Anti-Racism Demonstrations.” Get it?  They’re big, they’re peaceful, and they are against racism! Right.

              Conversely, when many members of Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish population recently had the audacity to burn their own facial masks in piles on a sidewalk, the Post ran the following headline: “Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jews Burn Masks In Violent Protests As New York Cracks Down On Rising Cases [Of COVID-19].” The Rotten Big Apple’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, finally found a minority group protest he can’t countenance. He’s cracking down on those diabolical Jews!

              See, to a progressive/leftist, actual violence is “peaceful protest,” but free speech that they don’t agree with is “violence.” Burning down buildings and assaulting “deplorables” are merely forms of social justice. Dismembering babies and vacuuming up their body parts is “women’s health care.” Whereas “misgendering” someone or refusing to deliberately obstruct your own breathing apparatus is a capital offense, punishable to the fullest extent of the law.

              Got it? 

              If you do, you are part of the problem.

Biden-Harris Ticket Refuses To Answer Questions On Court Packing Plans

 

Joe Biden flatly refuses to answer the question of if he will engage in “court-packing,” adding more seats to the Supreme Court to benefit Democrats a ̀la Franklin Roosevelt’s failed 1937 proposal. (FDR’s unconstitutional attempt to pack the court to help pave the way for his “New Deal” expansion of Federal control over the American economy was ultimately voted down in the Senate by a vote of 70 to 22.) Kamala Harris refused to answer the same question in her recent debate with Vice-President Pence.

Biden refused to answer that question yet again the day after the vice-presidential debate, replying: “Now, look, I know it’s a great question, and y’all — and I don’t blame you for asking it. But you know the moment I answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be about that.” While in Arizona campaigning with Harris he said, of the American people, “They’ll know my opinion on court-packing when the election is over.”

Not a shining example of transparency. Democrats love telling people that they will have to wait until after it’s too late to prevent something from happening before they have enough information to decide if they want it to happen or not. Do you recall Speaker Pelosi’s famous remark, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it?”

It is beyond stupefying and pathetic that the mainstream media continuously allow Democrats to get away with giving American voters the figurative finger like this. Shameful doesn’t cut it. Neither does dereliction of duty.

Try to imagine President Trump saying he won’t answer a question on if he plans to overturn the Emancipation Proclamation and repeal the 13^th Amendment until after the election is over. I’m guessing the media might run with that one for a while.

On matters of import, in a democracy, it is kind of important that voters know what candidates plan to do if elected…before they are elected. Otherwise, the entire exercise is a pointless sham. Reporters demand to know Trump’s blood oxygen level at every hour of the day and night, and how many cheeseburgers he’s consumed in the past month, yet are utterly sanguine when Democratic candidates for the highest office in the land refuse to answer the most basic policy questions.

So, sadly, we can look forward to Joe Biden telling reporters: “Now, look, I know it’s a great question, and y’all — and I don’t blame you for asking it. But you know the moment I answer that question, the headline in every one of your papers will be about that. The American people will know if I plan to ban motorized travel/legalize bestiality/invade Canada when the election is over.”

Even more recently, a local television reporter asked Biden—or tried to-- if he thought the American people deserve to know if he will pack the court or not. The reporter said, “Well, sir, don’t the voters deserve to know where you stand—” before Biden rudely cut him off and snapped, “No, they don’t deserve…I’m not going to play his game.”

That is what Joe Biden thinks of those he wishes to rule over. Incredibly, he doesn’t believe voters deserve to know where he stands on the issues. Stupefyingly, the mainstream media steadfastly refuses to hold him accountable or even mention the exchange. In a sane world, that comment—alone—should have cost Biden the election.

 

 

 

Professor Blames White Christians For Western Fires

 

Susan Shaw, Oregon State University Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies professor, recently lamented that “The West is burning while most white Christians turn away from the root causes of the devastation.” Shaw wrote “The intensity and scope of these fires are a result of climate change” and stated that “Many Christians, especially white Christians, have embraced denial of climate science.”

Earth to Shaw: our major cities are burning while most progressives turn away from the root causes of the devastation. Causes that, unlike those affecting the climate, are abundantly clear and plain to see. We can see those lighting these fires every night on television or the internet. Moreover, anyone paying attention and not a blind idealogue also realizes that “the intensity and scope of these fires” are a result of “progressive” policies the Democratic rulers of these cities have put in place over the decades…policies that have led to anger, despair, chaos and destruction. But not Professor Shaw—or many of her colleagues in “higher education” for that matter.

Shaw averred that “White evangelicals continue to support Donald Trump overwhelmingly, even though the Trump administration has tried to roll back more than 100 environmental protection regulations.” She added, “Many white Christians believe God won’t let climate change destroy the earth” and opined “The white church is mostly complicit with the intersecting systems of racism and global capitalism that underlie climate change.” She went on to say that “The system of white supremacy itself will have to be dismantled, if we have any hope of averting irreversible climate disaster” before alleging that “The white church is invested in white supremacy.” Not content to avoid repeatedly beating a dead horse, Shaw noted that “White Christians will have to change” and that “The issue” is one of “whiteness.” Shaw shanked that one, but I don’t expect any redemption. Neither “whiteness” nor capitalism causes fires, largescale or not.

Yet, to Shaw, “the issue” is black and white. Cut and dried, much like the timber that the Democratic politicians that run these states refuse to remove from their forestlands…the real reason for the fires. Yes, like the wanton destruction of Democrat-run cities, the many large fires in California, Oregon and Washington have been needlessly brought about by terrible progressive policies.

Campus Reform asked Professor Shaw if she stood by the language she used to slander white Christians. She replied, “I don’t think that language is necessarily racially divisive or charged. It’s descriptive and it’s the language the research I cited uses to look at climate science beliefs across Christians.”

 I have some “descriptive” language in mind now, with which to characterize the nutty professor’s preposterous, racist and anti-Christian remarks. But, for now, I won’t fight fire with fire.

 

 

Nancy Pelosi Says "Mother Earth Is Angry"

 

MSNBC’s “The Reidout”

Joy Reid: Thank you very much for joining us tonight, Speaker Pelosi. And, might I say, your hair looks fantastic! First off, I must ask you about the wildfires consuming your state.

Pelosi: Well, Joy, thank you so much for having me on…and asking that question first. You know, we just marked the passing of 19 years since 9/11 and everybody talks about how bad that was, yada yada yada, but, in some ways, these fires are worse than 9/11. And it’s all Donald Trump’s fault…and most of us know it. As you know, he is a climate denier, and hasn’t lifted a finger to keep the Earth from burning up or being flooded out. If we don’t stop him, it will be worse than the Holocaust or the Plague. He doesn’t care about people being hit by blizzards or hurricanes or prolonged droughts or historic flooding or those whose towns are burning up. Let’s face the facts: Mother Earth is angry. Really angry. Pissed off, even. She’s telling us, whether with hurricanes, fires, or whatever it is, that the climate crisis is real and has a devastating impact on all of us. Gaia is mad. Skies open up. Earth Goddess sends bad weather to us. Zeus throws lightning bolts, Poseidon sends giant waves crashing upon our shores. Hades is laughing. They are all telling us not to re-elect Donald Trump. Orange Man bad. Orange Man very bad! The planet literally won’t survive another four years with Trump in office. That's just the science, Joy.

Democratic Clerk Offended By Satirical Display

 

              A Michigan resident cleverly satirized the mail-in ballot voting system that will be in extensive use for the first time in the U.S. this presidential election season. The citizen put a toilet on his lawn accompanied by a sign reading, “Place mail-in ballots here.”

              However, the display was no laughing matter for Barb Byrum, Democratic Clerk of Ingham County. Byrum filed a complaint with police over the display, claiming it could mislead people who aren’t familiar with the voting system. Huh? The seriously self-important Donkey Party clerk made an ass of herself by stating, “It is a felony to take illegal possession of an absentee ballot.”

              You’ve got to be kidding me. Does she really believe that the private citizen who put the toilet on his private yard expects people to put their actual “mail-in” ballots in it? Byrum added, “Elections in this country are to be taken seriously and there are many people who are voting by mail for the first time this election.” Byrum obviously has a very low opinion of those in her district voting by mail if she is worried they will pass up mailboxes and instead stuff this toilet with their ballots. She shouldn’t be so concerned. If they did do just that, you can be sure Democratic operatives would find them and count them all as votes for their candidates.

              I don’t know Barb Byrum and therefore will not speak about her as if I do, but a very high percentage of “progressive” women, most with hair done up in tight buns and unbecoming glasses adorning their unbecoming faces, have no traceable sense of humor…or irony. Or shame or decency or…but I digress. Apparently mad at God for not being the single richest or most beautiful person in the world, they are always offended, always angry, and always clinging to their feelings of being oppressed …and entitled. I’d bet Byrum is perfectly okay with rioters burning down private property. And with defunding the police. But she simply cannot countenance a mild jest attached to a toilet on private property, so she goes to…the police…to try to have it removed. Pathetic.

             After all, the toilet on the Michigan resident’s lawn is not full of crap.

 Byrum is.

Drips & Drabs

 Drips & Drabs

*California had the majority of the world’s cars at one point, but has now banned them as of 2035, at least those powered by gasoline. This is indicative of the closing of minds and the rapid shrinking of the frontier spirit. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Venezuela, here we come!

 *I’m waiting for Biden to say: “If you don’t vote for the Harris-Biden ticket, you ain’t a woman!”

 * The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) conducted a nationwide survey and found that there may be as many as 350,000 dead people still registered to vote in U.S. elections. The PILF survey revealed that New York, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and California accounted for 51 percent of the dead registrants. It also found that at least 40,000 voters may have voted twice.

 *This is an enormous problem for Republicans. Dead people may tell no tales, but they do vote…and overwhelmingly for Democrats. Odd, isn’t it?

 

*White privilege is a fallacy, a sham. The truth is that precisely the opposite is the case. White people are told they are racists because of their race. White people are routinely kneeling before peoples of color. There are racial quotas and talk of reparations. Statues, paintings, murals and pictures of white people are being yanked from countless public spaces and universities…when they aren’t defaced or destroyed. Yet it appears leftists will not admit that white privilege has been eliminated until white people are eliminated and every last trace and vestige of white peoples’ existence has been permanently expunged from the Earth.

 *The very same people who say you can’t love others until you love yourself first, who say look out for number 1, who say self-esteem is critical to one’s health and existence, who demand participation trophies for coming in eleventh, who purport to be tolerant and inclusive of everything and every behavior, and who claim there are no lesser cultures or “sh*thole countries”…are utterly aghast at President Trump’s patriotism and insistence on putting America first. Interesting.

 *In demanding that the rest of us keep our masks on at all times, everywhere-- and for the foreseeable future-- the left has, ironically, unmasked itself. It is about control and submission, not health and safety.

 

*According to a new Morning Consult poll, an incredible 40% of Democrats responded that they were “happy” that President Trump contracted the coronavirus. Even more disturbing, 31% were “excited” about the president’s COVID-19 diagnosis.

 

*You can recover your money, health and even your sanity. But you can never recover or gain back time. This realization should guide one’s life choices.

 

California The New Venezuela?

            

            A member of the Venezuelan National Assembly recently posted a photo on Twitter. The picture showed people riding donkeys through the streets of a Venezuelan city, a not uncommon practice now due to chronic gasoline shortages caused by policies the country’s socialist regime has put in place.

Piero Maroun, of the socialist Democratic Action Party, sadly admitted: “Venezuelans are now centuries behind, riding donkeys, burning firewood, and sleeping in the dark. The setback is so great that in the days of slavery, slaves earned what they needed to eat every day, and here a day’s salary doesn’t even buy breakfast.”

Making the situation even more embarrassing—and preposterous— is the fact that Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves of any nation in the world. Yet, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (Petroleum of Venezuela in English, or PDVSA), the state-run oil company, is now producing about 542,000 barrels a day, about 18% of what it did in 2000.

In related news, California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsome recently announced that he has signed an executive order banning the sale of all internal combustion automobiles by 2035. The state has already proven unable or unwilling to provide a steady source of electricity to its residents, who have been subject to frequent and lengthy “rolling blackouts.” Soon, denizens of the erstwhile Land of Milk and Honey will not be able to own a gas-powered car.

An anonymous source close to the governor says that Newsome is hoping residents will purchase “horse and buggy conveyances” when-- and if--  they are allowed to travel pending future lockdowns. The source added that the governor believes his order will “be a boon to the state’s horseshoers, blacksmiths and farriers.”

Since the onset of the blackouts, it has not always been possible for Californians to flush their toilets more than once in a given time period, resulting in an explosion of outhouses adjoining people’s homes. Newsome, the source said, will shortly announce a subsidy for those who purchase a Port-a-Potty, Satellite, or materials for constructing an outhouse. The program will be accompanied by a publicity campaign with Newsome saying: “I am doing my duty to help you do your duty.”

Newsome also allegedly wants to bring back hand-held fans in lieu of air-conditioners and crank-driven Victrolas in place of electricity-consuming stereo systems. Additionally, he is encouraging residents to buy chickens…and not get too fond of their pets.

                                                                                      

Associated Press Stylebook Cautions Against Use Of "Riot"

 

The stylebook published by the Associated Press has been a lodestar to journalists and publishers since Moby Dick was a minnow. It served as an authoritative guide as to how to present the news fairly, professionally and in an unbiased manner. But, like everything else today, it is being revised in the interests of political correctness.

The Associated Press recently tweeted, “New guidance on AP Stylebook Online: Use care in deciding which term best applies: A riot is a wild or violent disturbance of the peace involving a group of people. The term riot suggests uncontrolled chaos and pandemonium.”

Another tweet condescendingly noted: “Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching, police brutality or for racial justice, going back to the urban uprisings of the 1960s.”

Ergo, do not use “riot” to describe a riot, because…well, it has unpleasant connotations. And the rioters are our guys peeps.

Why does this matter so much? Because, as Orwell knew, when you control the language people use, you control their thoughts. You control them.

Progressives do not say “abortion,” they say “women’s health care.” They speak of “revenue enhancement” not “tax hikes.” I’m sure the AP Stylebook will soon caution against the use of the words “stabbing” or “knifing,” instead urging journalists to use the term “silverware-actuated penetration occurrence.” Perhaps it will also soon advise writers to eschew the word “Rape” in favor of the term “extraconsensual attraction event.” 

In solidarity with AP’s Stylebook, I too am going to make some changes. Instead of referring to leftists and progressives as “morons” or “asshats,” I will henceforth use the term “historically, intellectually and morally challenged non-viable tissue masses.”

I don’t know about you, but I feel better already.

Cut The Crap

 

                People in New York City who refuse to wear a mask or other compliant face covering will now be subject to fines of up to $1,000. The higher penalty limit was announced in light of a recent increase in the positivity rate of coronavirus tests. During a recent press conference, Bill de Blasio, the city’s illustrious mayor (sarcasm alert), stated: “We don’t want to fine people, but if we have to, we will.” Translation: he wants to fine people. One thousand dollars. For not covering up their breathing apparatus.

              In related news, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority has decided to formally and officially ban public defecation on its subways, buses, and other transit facilities. Current rules already prohibit the creation of a “nuisance, hazard, or unsanitary condition” including “spitting or urinating,” but, incredibly, do not explicitly preclude dropping a deuce in Times Square.

              Complaints of dung-infested subway trains increased dramatically in 2019, according to MTA data. And, unsurprisingly, 2020 hasn’t been any better. In fact, it’s been worse. Things have gotten so bad that Transport Workers Union Local 100 launched a “Trash Train” photo contest to highlight the problem and protest cuts to cleaning crews.

             MTA spokesman Tim Minton issued a statement saying, “MTA rules are periodically tweaked to enhance clarity, and that’s the case with the addition of more descriptive language. Ensuring the transportation system provides an appropriate quality of life experience for our workforce and customers is a guiding principle and top priority.”

 No shit?

             The Big (Road) Apple is not alone in being swallowed up by used needles, human excrement-- and hopelessness. Nearly all of the big cities in America that have been run by Democrats for decades are in the same boat.

             A $1,000 fine for not wearing a mask? A $100 fine for taking a dump on a subway train?

             Let’s cut the crap. This perfectly-- and irrefutably-- illustrates the decline of Western civilization brought on by an acquiescence to progressive “values.”

Portland Hosts "Full Moon Naked Ride"

 

              Live in the Pacific Northwest? Upset that Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away and those diabolical Republicans are planning to replace her ASAP? Then join the group “Shift 2 Bikes” and participate in a naked bike ride protest! You may already have missed the “Full Moon Naked Ride” that was set for Portland on October first, but I’m sure they will have another one in the near future. Portland was also to be one of many venues for the “World Naked Bike Ride” but it, tragically, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

              Shift 2 Bikes touted the event as a protest of “the Senate fast-tracking the appointment of a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.” It encouraged people to “ride under the full moon.” (Or behind one!) The only article of clothing required was a facial mask. Portland police, however, urged participants to wear a helmet and shoes to avoid injuries. The PPD also helpfully suggested that participants’ bikes sport a light and that riders drink plenty of fluids on their excursion. (I don’t care to elaborate on that.)

              Though public nudity is generally illegal in Portland, the event is technically considered a “protest,” and is therefore protected under the First Amendment as free speech. Well, nothing talks louder than a big...

Anyway, the World Naked Bike Ride was, officially, a protest against oil dependency and pollution-based transport-- as well as a vehicle (like that?) to highlight the vulnerability of bicyclists around the globe. But protesters frequently show up to tout other causes, such as cyclist safety (“start seeing bicycles!”) and body positivity. The event has drawn as many as 10,000 bare bikers in past years.

The Portland Police Bureau issued a statement noting that officers would be dedicated to the event to ensure the safety of cyclists and others alike…and to provide assistance at intersections. Whatever that entails. The Bureau also asked non-participants to be patient with any minor traffic delays the vent may cause.

Naked Bike Ride “protests” may well become more and more popular with folks who just don’t have the courage to burn down businesses and rough-up the old and infirm. Want to save the whales? Hop on a Schwinn au naturel! Upset at Trump? Take off thru town on a two-wheeler, sans apparel. Pissed off that pangendered Albanian Pisces are underrepresented in corporate boardrooms? Hop on your Huffy in the buff. Devastated that the World Naked Bike Ride was cancelled this year due to the Trump Virus? Partake in—or organize—a local Naked Bike Ride. We know Portland will allow it. I’m sure Seattle would welcome you, too, in all your birthday-suited glory.

Stumptown’s finest have vowed not to arrest any naked bikers unless they stray from the approved route. That said, the mandatory facial masks will grant the bikers anonymity. At a bare minimum.
