BLM fraud matters, but not to most of the media. In addition to being sanctioned for not following non-profit laws and having their donations banned in such racist, far right states as CA and NY, now we see how they blew $6M of donations on a personal party house.
Also, interestingly, the house was bought for $3M from the prior owner, but then sold shortly thereafter to BLM’s entity. The $3M profit for someone was not disclosed, but we know all the BLM Marxist leaders quit and went on multimillion dollar home buying sprees so I have my suspicions.
Yes, I’m serious. I detest Biden’s policies, his entire administration, as much as ever. But it would be a catastrophe were anything to happen to him.
Biden and his socialists have been celebrating their “achievements” recently, up close and in person. Pelosi now has COVID and she was hugging President Biden only a day ago. It appears, with all the Democrat hoopla, a measure of COVID caution was thrown to the winds. This was stupid, but they are stupid as a group and you cannot fix stupid.
We just have to hope for the best. President Biden needs to remain alive and in charge. The alternative is much too horrid even to contemplate.
The videos posted directly in social media of their questions to the panelists have garnered over 5 million views over a couple days. You’ve probably seen at least one of them already. If not, click through their actual site to give them the much deserved traffic:
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law Friday bills blocking transgender youth from gender-affirming medical treatment as well as from participating on sports teams or using school restrooms that don’t match their assigned sex at birth.
The bolded is why it is impossible to have an honest discussion on this issue. There is no “assigned” sex, it is genetic. You either have 2 X chromosomes, or one X and one Y chromosome. Period. The only valid, appropriate, or even remotely reasonable “gender affirming” care for children is a genetic test.
If you have one X and one Y yet really want to be a girl…well…you are never going to be a girl. I really want to be an NFL superstar. We both just need to accept our disappointment.
Put on your pedestal a “boy” with 2 X chromosomes, and we can have a discussion about them competing in women’s sports. But that is where the discussion begins and ends.
This first link is a more international one, in case anyone’s interested in more foreign perspectives. They’re less funny and more serious, but that’s the world these days I guess.
With several excellent Conservative candidates among whom to choose, Trump instead has endorsed liberal RINO Dr. Oz in a primary election coming up in Pennsylvania. New Yorker Trump is not a genuine conservative and lacks the intelligence to defend conservative positions on the issues. But this is his largest demonstration of sheer idiocy so far.
I cannot say this has caused Trump to lose my vote in any Republican primary. He never had my vote . . . in a primary . . . not in 2016 and not going forward. Of course against any Democrat you have to vote for Trump if he is on the other side. Even Donald Duck is preferable to any Democrat you can name. But this Oz endorsement has pissed off a great many Conservatives. Trump is a phony. We can do a LOT better, starting with Governor DeSantis.
I do not know if Trump has any fixed political beliefs. But his administration governed as conservatives and he made the tough decisions and made the hard calls correctly more often than not.
He also is a terrible judge of character. The people he appointed were really terrible. Starting with Paul Manafort, keeping James Comey instead of replacing him immediately, then replacing him with corrupt swamper Christopher Wray. he had a few great appointments like mike Pompeo and Ric Grenell but his overall track record was really bad.
I can only wonder what the angle is here. Is it that polling shows Oz has the best chance of winning, and Trump wants to be able to say he backed a winner? Does Oz come with a large block of votes that following this endorsement, will now support Trump in a critical swing state?
Trump is well known for his diarrhea of the mouth and mindless babbling, but this doesnt seem like something he would do on a lark. He has to be gaining, or he thinks he is gaining, something from it.
I have looked this up. My best understanding is that in Pennsylvania, if you want to vote in the Republican primary there, you must be a registered Republican.
So comes the news that in Pennsylvania many Democrats are changing their registration in preparation for the primary there. This will allow them to vote for liberal Oz. Then, in November, those same new “republicans” vote for the Democrat candidate. Using this approach they cannot lose, and no genuine Conservative Republican can win, which is the goal of the Democrats.
They do not fear a RINO like Oz. What they detest is conservatism.
BTW, Oz did serve in the military; the Turkish military. And he is a proud citizen of Turkey. Oy vey!!
I hypothesized in another thread that this “Republican wave” might be more of a Democrat trojan horse. A new way to manufacture election results without technically committing election fraud.
While you and I agree philosophically 100%, I think it’s important to make our arguments as strong as possible, so I have these constructive suggestions.
When you hear assigned sex at birth, respond with observed sex at birth. You are 100% right that sex isn’t assigned, but our side needs something as catchy as their side has. And observed isn’t just fighting their language with our language, it’s honest. That’s how all of our parents found out what we were (and remind that activist that’s how their parents found out too). A doctor looked at their body (often before birth) and said they were male or female.
When you are tempted to talk about genetics and chromosomes, try not to. Only because trans activists have been trained to point out the weaknesses in the hormone argument. You and I both know those weaknesses aren’t weak enough to support their argument, but they are weaknesses and the activists are usually very well versed in them. But what they aren’t able to combat is the gamete argument. All humans and all mammals that don’t have some sort of birth defect are born with the organs that produce, will produce, or were able to produce one type of gamete. A female produces eggs and a male produces sperm. This is consistent across all humans, all mammals, and essentially all animals on earth. Regardless of how trans-activists think they can combat this biological fact, their arguments here are much weaker. That is because in recorded history there has NEVER been (not even once) a case where a human has been able to produce both gametes. We have plenty of documented cases of specific disorders of sex development (DSD), but in all those cases, the affected human was either a male or a female based on the organs he or she had that produce (or are meant to produce) gametes. Those humans, often referred to as intersex, often have primary and secondary sex characterists affected by their specific disorder - but the REASON what they have can be considered a disorder is because they ARE female with primary or secondary sex characteristics you would expect on a male or vice versa. But they are NEVER (seriously - this has NEVER happened) a female that produces sperm.
Those cases are so rare that all there needs to be for those kids to play sports is some letter from a doctor stating that Billy is female but has Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (or insert specific DSD condition here) that results in Billy looking more like a boy than a girl and that is why his name is Billy and not Betty. But if Billy wants to be called Billy, he probably wants to play against the boys anyway. The only Billys that want to play with/against the girls are the ones with gender identity disorder (gender dysphoria), autogynephilia, or other sexual perversion. They’ve usually already changed their name to Betty at that point.
There’s no way of Betty, a female with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia to get around people questioning her actual sex as a female since her disorder gives here male characteristics, and I feel bad for Betty just the same way I feel bad for someone with a pacemaker. But we don’t get rid of all the microwaves because some people have pacemakers. Nor should we reorient the sex specific elements society around the several dozen Bettys in existence in a way that people with mental disorders are able to take advantage of them and feed their delusions.
OK, I concede that in Pennsylvania the Democrat US Senate primary race is a hot race. But regardless which candidate wins that primary, Pennsylvania Democrats will be fine. What Pennsylvania Democrats, what all Democrats, fear most is any US Senate seat being won by a Conservative. Democrats LOVE Republican RINOs like Romney, Murkowski, and Collins . . . . all of whom are unreliable Republican votes. It’s likely to be a Republican year. But if Democrats can ensure a Republican Pennsylvania Senate victory goes to a RINO instead of to a Conservative, it’s a still a win of sorts for their side. All they have to do is a phony change of registration so they can vote for Oz in that May primary.
I have looked into this a bit. Can tell you there are genuine Conservative Republicans running against Oz. Should one of them beat Oz and win the primary, he might also win in November. And, for Democrats, that would be rather a disaster.
California (where else?) reparations panel to meet in San Francisco (where else?) today
Is this far out, or what!?:
California’s first-in-the-nation reparations task force meets in person Wednesday, the first time members have gathered face-to-face since their inaugural meeting nearly a year ago and mere weeks after the group voted to limit restitution to descendants of enslaved Black people.
OK, so no reparations for VP Harris or for Barack Obama. But Michelle Obama WOULD be eligible! So thank goodness. Who could need these payments more than the poor Obamas? Let’s take up a collection and send the money to Michelle.
Avine commentary on Biden in agreement with millions of American humans:
Biden’s blue suit took a direct hit as he began a 25-minute address
Biden blamed price spikes on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine despite the fact that consumer costs were already creeping higher over the past year — which critics blame on Biden’s policies and ramped-up government spending.
LaLa land. When gangs have free reign and are robbing and sometimes killing rich residents, and often then being let out on bail, the most important thing is that the backlash against crime might imperil all these wonderful criminal protection reforms.
That intense focus has also caused some consternation among activists and criminal justice reform advocates, who worry that wealthy residents with political clout and politicians eager to please them will use the trend — based in part on fraught and sometimes false police assessments of gang involvement — to claw back past policing reforms.
