"Dr. Fauci, what day is today?" Fauci: "I decline to answer."

One hundred and eleven times. 

Video compilation of Fauci's ENDLESS lies

Fauci: "I represent science, and if you're attacking me you're really attacking science!"  And I mean, everybody knows that." !

And eight other notorious utterances of total bullshit from Fauci.

 

Liberal feminist goes back in time to kill Hitler. Unexpectedly finds...

A liberal feminist (are there conservative feminists?) goes back in time to kill a younger Adolf Hitler.  But when she tries to explain why, she finds modern "progs" share many of the goals of the Nazis.  WHOA, dat not possible!  Or is it? 

From the Babylon Bee. 

Yesterday in Paris at noon, Muslim stabs 3 women, says Allah told him to

Normally when someone tells you their motive for stabbing or shooting their victims, it's a pretty good clue.  But not in France or the U.K if the perp is a Muslim.

Seriously.  Cops say if the perp's a Muslim, you can't rely on his self-stated motive (in this case that Allah told him to kill women).  Instead cops insist you must assume the perp's crazy.

See, your political leaders constantly assure you that "Islam is THE religion of peace," eh?  If that's true, then no True Muslim would stab three women unless he'd had some rare type of temporary breakdown.

And of course who can ever understand mental breakdowns, eh?  So say it with me, citizens:  "We may never know his real motive," eh?

And just as intended, even though the perp claimed "Allah told me to kill them," French police are NOT treating "the incident" as a terrorist attack. 

Two of the victims are in critical condition, while the third is in serious condition.  No word on whether the victims were terrorized.  Cuz...reasons.

Not treating "the incident" as terror-related is how pols reassure voters that terrorist attacks are down, eh?  At this rate, in five more years there won't be a single terror attack in all of France.  This is Plan "A" for the French government.  Great work, guys.

Cops eventually apprehended the suspect, still carrying the two knives he used.  Video shows him saying: "Allah commanded me."

By contrast, Interior Minister Laurent Nunez would only say the suspect was heard "uttering incoherent statements," and said he has no idea about the motive for "the incident." 

Laurent following Plan "A" to the letter, eh?

So: Two female victims in critical condition and a third is in serious condition.  But don't worry, citizens, cuz...Plan "A" is working. 

More on the Muslim driver who drove his van into a pride parade in Berlin

After yet another Muslim rammed his car into a crowd of people he hated (this time in Berlin, but it's happened in scores of cities, eh?).  This time only one girl dead, 29 injured.

And now come the usual bleats and excuses from the Left: 

1.  "Don't blame Muslims!  He was just 'troubled!'"
2.  "Don't 'fuel hatred!'"
3.  "The driver is the real victim here!"
4.  "Don't play the far-right's game!"
5.  "He'd just finished 'de-radicalization training' and the government should have been helping him more!"
6.  "Don't forget that Europeans colonized his country!"
7.  "This is our fault!"
8.  "Are we sure the car's accelerator didn't stick, and then the 'boy' ran away in fear of being beaten?"
9.  "The heads of the gay pride marchers weren't covered, and that caused him to have a psychotic break!  So he's not to blame!" 
10.  "Onlookers smelled weed in the car, and if he'd been smoking he can't be convicted!" 
11.  "Dis iz duh gummint's fault for not putting barricades around the entire route of the 'pride parade,' since that would have prevented this!"

Conclusion: Europeans, like U.S. leftists, are reeeally stupid.  They blame the death and injuries on the car, on girls with uncovered heads, on 'Islamophobia,' on ancient colonization--anything and everything EXCEPT the actual killer: the Muzz driver.

But don't fret, citizen: The Democrats will continue to prevent 'em from being deported from the U.S, so we'll get our version of this any day now.  Wait...we've been seeing this for years.

Unhappy liberal women: "I'm right, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong."

 

Every European country: "If a Muslim stabs you, don't be "Islamophobic"!

In Europe and the U.K, Muslims keep stabbing local citizens at a record pace.  But corrupt politicians demand that you not become "Islamophobic," eh?

 

See, dey haz a different "culture" den yew, eh?  And of course liberals insist that "All cultures are absolutely equal!"  So you must accept their culture.  And if that means you or your wife or daughter is killed, that's a small price to pay for duh die-versity dat ebry guud persyn agrees iz ouah strength, right?

And be assured that your betters in the judicial system will ensure that the killer is prosecuted!  Yep yep yep!  And may be convicted, in which case a judge will decide the sentence:  If victim was a white male, a year in prison.  A female?  18 months.  A female under 14?  Two years, but with time off for being a guud Muslim.

If you complain that such terms are FAR too lenient for murder, we remind you that yew mus' not be Islamophobic, an' dat any posts to social media will result in five years in prison. 

   

"Don't worry, citizen: You probably won't notice much difference."

Obama's first job was as a community organizer--getting wealthy white-guilted Democrats and companies to give him money.  

His grifting wife did the same.  Total moron (read her college papers, if you can find 'em), but once Barky became a senator (one term, before being fellated by Democrats as their nominee for prezzy), Moochelle scored a no-work job paying $320K a year at the University of Chitcongo.

It's astonishing that a majority of voters were so totally stupid as to think barky knew about anything other than grifting.  His idea of being president was to literally BOW to foreign heads of state.  

"You gotta be kidding!"  Nope.  Half a dozen such bows caught on video--unless the Dems have managed to delete all of 'em.  Twenty years from now, no one will believe an American president did that.  And yet...he did.

Dems: "Yew cain't prove dat!  Dat all 'AI'!"

Democrats deserve what's about to happen.  No, not due to Trump taking effective action to prevent the mullahs of Iran from getting an atomic bomb, but what will absolutely, unequivocally happen when the Democrats re-take one or both chambers of congress.  (They already control both, due to the filibuster and RINOs.) 

Believe it or not, I don't like Trump.  He regularly makes dumb, amateurish mistakes, and doesn't know fuck-all about history or war.  But as the saying goes, you go to war with the army you have, not with the one you wish you had.  With all his flaws he's infinitely better than Cackles and Tampon Tim, and the utterly corrupt, senile bribem.  Still blundering, but better than the alternative.

Unfortunately when the Democrat-controlled congress is sworn in in January they'll force the U.S. to surrender to Iran.  

Of course Dems won't call it that.  Nope nope nope! 

Instead they'll do it by simply putting a single line into the must-pass "Defense Appropriation Act" (the NDAA), ordering that no funds be spent on any operation by the War Department in the Mid-East theater, which they'll carefully define.

Democrats: "SEE, deplorable?  We did NOT order the U.S. to surrender!  Not at all!  Instead we just prohibited any money from being used to fight an illegal war against duh totally innocent Islamic Repubic of Iran!  Cuz dey wuz NEVAH tryin' t' build an atomic bomb!  Nope nope nope!  An' we know dat, cuz ouah brilliant leaders--Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, AOC, Adam Schiff, Rashida Tlaib, Cory Booker, Ilhan Omar, Ayana Presley, Kathy Hochul, JB Pritzker and others--sed dey weren't!"

Ah.  

So that single, innocuous line will leave the mullahs free to resume their bomb program, knowing that for at least the next four years their thousands of gas centrifuges--the "enrichment cascade" used to produce bomb-grade uranium--will be safe from U.S. bombers. 

(Do you even know what "bomb-grade uranium" IS?  Do you know fuck-all about uranium isotopes?  Do you even know what an "isotope" IS?  If you don't know all these things, do you think you have the skills needed to rationally evaluate what's happening?)

If you don't know what an "enrichment cascade" is, you're too uninformed to have a useful opinion about Iran's nuclear program.  Go watch television and fawn over celebrities.  And keep voting for dreamy Democrats like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass!  Fo' shure!

If you're an average American you know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics, thus nothing useful about atomic bombs.  And that's perfectly understandable: you're far too busy trying to raise your kids to not be drug addicts or trannies.  I get it--really.

Problem is that because you don't know jack-shit about physics, when the lying Democrats and their fellators in the Mainstream Media claim "Iran was NEVAH trying to build an atomic bomb!" you believe 'em.  

Cuz why wouldn't ya?  You believe the Media and Democrat politicians cuz hey, they've nevah lied to ya before, right?

Example: Fauci and the Media insisted dat duh Chyna virus could not possibly have been modified in a level-4 virus lab in Wuhan to make a harmless bat virus kill humans!  Fauci insisted dat duh virus "mutated naturally" to make it fatal to humans.  An' duh Media sed he's "Doctor Science,' eh?  So why would "Doctor Science" lie?  So it wuz just a coincidence dat duh first outbreak was in Wuhan.

Of course NOW we learn what I've been saying since 2020:  Fauci is totally corrupt, and actually gave U.S. tax dollars to the Wuhan lab to fund the "gain-of-function" research that produced the Chyna virus.

No lies there, eh?  So let's look at another example:

The Media quoted--approvingly, without a single word of pushback--the corrupt Democrat head of an "election agency" saying that the 2020 election was "the most secure in our nation's history."  So you believed it--because you believe whatever the Mainstream Media tells ya.

Democrat: "NO, dat totally false!  I do my own research and decide for myself!"

Sure ya do, cupcake.

Let's look at another example:

Does the following claim ring any bells?  "Under my plan the average American family will save $2,500 a YEAR on health insurance!  And if you like your doctor and your insurance provider, you can keep both!"

If you were over 20 in 2010 and were paying attention, you recognize that statement as being from Barky Obozo, who was captured on video hundreds of time bleating this same lie.  The main architect of Obozocare--a dipshit named Jon Gruber--later laughed that they got this passed due to the stupidity of the American public.  And the Media never said a critical word!  Never actually analyzed the numbers--cuz "maff beez raaaacis!"

So how'd that work out for ya, cupcake?  Have ya bought a new boat wif all duh money ya saved from ten years of Obozo-care?  No?  Wow, shocker!

It was total bullshit.  

Remember Alejandro Mayorkas and his often-repeated lie that "The border is totally secure! even as video showed thousands of "migrants" being flown by the bribem regime from border cities to places like Westchester County, New York, arriving at 3 a.m. so no one would see?

We have the fucking videos.  Beautiful Boeing jets, painted all-white without a single identifying marking.  Two-hundred illegal aliens deplaning.

Democrats: "NOOooo!  Dat 'AI'!  Dat nevah happen!"

The Lying Mainstream Media refused to show you ANY of these videos, even though they were known.  But since you never saw 'em or heard about 'em, they must not exist, right?  Must be 'AI,' even in 2021, before AI existed, eh?  

Oh wait, maybe not AI at ALL: "Dis wuz staged.  Just like the moon landings." 

How many of you morons believe the Democrat bleat "Trans women ARE women"?  Duh Dems in congress said it, over and over.  The Media totally agreed, cuz...Dems sed it.

How many of you believe that it's totally fair for boys to compete in women's sports?

How many of you believe the Democrat/Media bleat that "Requiring people to get a government-issued photo-ID to vote is 'voter suppression.'"  Cuz hey, no one needs a photo ID for anything else today, right?

How many of ya think it was, like, TOTALLY fair for the last Democrat prezzy to decree that taxpayers be forced to pay off all student loans, eh?  Cuz the Democrat-fellating Media positively swooned when bribem ordered that.  Not a single critical word, either print or broadcast.

Yes, the Supreme Court slapped that down, but bribem simply tried again, in a slightly different way.  

The hoot was that not a single Media outlet EVER said "This is horseshit.  There is NO reason taxpayers should be forced to repay loans students knowingly borrowed."

The Mainstream Media never uttered a single critical word about the Dem plan cuz they knew that bribe would win the vote of almost every student who took out a student loan.

How many Democrats LOVED Graham Platner, then instantly pivoted from "Yew must believe ALL women" to "You must NOT believe women if one accuses one of ouah faaabulous candidates!" when a conservative woman accused Platner of raping her?  The entire Dem-fellating Media sneered.  "Partisan lies!"  

But then a life-long Democrat woman said the same thing.  Ooohh, what to do now, eh?

So another neat pivot: "We have no opinion--until the latest polls come in."

America is dead, because of the Democrat party.  And now it's gonna get even worse, cuz Dem candidates--seeing the faaabulous success of DSA candidates--are rushing to embrace the DSA's demands: abolish the senate and the electoral college, let the president and supreme court judges be appointed by congress--which the DSA plans to control.  Abolish police, ICE and the U.S. military.  It's FAAAbulous, comrade!

This is the best entertainment ever.  And amusingly, I know how it's gonna end--cuz not having kids or having to do the corporate rat-race, I've had the time to study this stuff.

Spoiler:  Communists, grifters, government "workers" and trannies will love the DSA.  Good, hard-working family people?  Not so much. 

Under DSA rule the U.S. will be just like the U.K:  Obey all laws and don't say anything critical of duh gruberment and you won't be imprisoned.  Watch helplessly as the Dem-controlled congress gives billions of federal tax dollars to bail out corrupt Democrat shithole cities like NYC, Chitcongo, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Denver, Philly, Baltimore and others.  Just don't say anything.

Yes, every dollar of those billions will be borrowed--from Chyna--but you can't stop congress, anymore than you can stop it now. 

Don't worry, citizen: You probably won't notice much difference.  
 

Un-named bribem "senior advisors" urged him to extend "TPS" to 3.1 million

Bombshell memo from un-named bribem "Senior advisors" two weeks before the end of his ghastly four years of utter shit shows them pushing to *extend TPS status for a million aliens from shithole countries,* and *awarding TPS status to a NEW 2.1 million.*

The memo--obtained from U.S. Archives by senator Eric Schmidt--specifically describes the extension as a way to block Trump from ending TPS for the original million: they urged bribem to "extend TPS status the one-million--doing it more than a year before the original status would expire.  Clever, eh?

But that wasn't enough to satisfy these anti-American sons of whores.  So they also urged bribem to give permanent TPS status to *another* 2.1 million foreigners. 

Of course presidents can extend TPS ("temporary" eh) forever, but in the past, presidents make that decision a month or so before the previous TPS award ends, so his "advisors" can determine if the conditions that triggered the original designation still exist.  

Ordering TPS status to be extended *a year before the original expires* is clearly not the intent of the law.

But for Democrats, the law and the Constitution don't mean squat.  They wipe their dirty hands on the flag (actual quote from a Democrat bitch).

In Germany a Muzz drives a van into a crowd. No one bats an eye.

A few days ago in Germany some people were holding their annual "pride parade."  A Muslim male was outraged, and drove a van at high speed into a crowd, killing a girl and injuring 29 others.

Now why would a Muslim drive his car into a crowd of innocent people?  Yes, they revile gays, lesbians, the whole LGBTQ crowd.  But non-muslims know hating people doesn't mean it's okay to kill 'em, eh?

But for Muzz, it isn't just "okay," it's a divine order:  According to Mohamed, all "infidels" are fair game.

The Quran is a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear of punishment.  And one of the points of "obedience" is to kill infidels.

The Koran says Mohammed said Allah commanded it.

The Koran says Allah loves those who die fighting infidels. That’s not just an opinion, it’s in the Quran, in Hadith.  Muslim schools teach it to young children.

This is why even so-called "moderate" Muslims are reluctant to condemn terrorism, because they know Islam demands jihad.  The Koran commands: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29).

So when a Muslim accepts this as truth from Allah, killing infidels isn’t just justified, it’s doing the will of Allah, eh?

Muslims believe killing infidels is obeying Allah, as relayed by the prophet Mohamed.  So driving a car into a crowd of innocent people is perfectly normal.

Liberals: "We can coexist wif' deez pipo.  Reeeally!  We needs t' keep importing more millions!  We jus' hafta understand 'em, so when your wife or daughter is raped, or your son beheaded, you can 'move on' instead of becoming an 'Islamophobe.'  Yep yep yep."

Blackouts in Cuba. NY Times blames Trump, glorifies communism

The NY Times loves communism.  Always has, dating back to 1930 or so, when they won a fucking Pulitzer prize for publishing hundreds of fawning, slobbering stories about how totally wonderful things were in communist Russia.

So if you know anything about that era (if you're under age 50 you have no idea), you won't be surprised to see the Times publish a story fawning over how cleverly the people of Cuba were out-foxing duh eeeeebil Orange Hitler.  Title: 

      "Cut off from fuel, Cuba is still surviving."

Sub-head: "Trump has tried to strangle Cuba by blocking its oil imports, but six months later, the island is finding ways to endure."

Ahh, so Cuba is supposedly "Cut off from fuel," eh?  And "Trump has tried to strangle Cuba by blocking its oil imports."  That's right in the sub-head, in those exact words:  The Times claims Orange Hitler "has tried to strangle Cuba by blocking its oil imports." 

If you pay attention to things beyond your immediate reach you've surely heard that in Cuba, electricity is only on for a few hours a day, in the entire country.  So when the the lying sons of bitches at the Times claim that's Trump's fault, virtually all readers believe it--because the Times bleats that everything is Trump's fault.  So it seems plausible to most Americans--which was the purpose.

Let me explain:  Cuba generates about 95% of its electricity from oil.  But there are no oil wells in Cuba.  So the island has always had to import oil.  Back when the USSR existed, the Soviets gave Cuba oil as part of their effort to make the communist outpost flourish.

The "Trump barring Cuba from buying oil" is horseshit.  What Trump did was threaten to impose tariffs on imports to the U.S. from countries that sold oil to Cuba.  That's an incredibly easy threat to evade: find a communist country that exports virtually nothing to the U.S, and have that country buy Russian oil and sell it to Cuba.  But apparently no leader of a commie country is smaht enough to figure that out, eh?

The real problem is two-fold:  First, since 2021, blackouts in Cuba have been increasing, cause by lack of maintenance and "accidents" due to incompetence.

Remind me again who was the U.S. prezzy in 2021?  Oh, dat right: NOT Trump, but corrupt, bribed vegetable bribem.  So blackouts were occurring when bribem was in.

The second problem may be more serious: Cuba doesn't have the cash to buy jack shit.  For decades the USSR supported their fellow communist regime in Cuba, but that ended when the Soviet Union dissolved.  So for literally decades Cuba got all its oil from the communist regime that ruled Venezuela, by sending soldiers and doctors to VZ in return for oil.

The communist dictator of VZ, Nicholas Maduro, was happy to trade oil to Cuba for troops and doctors, since he needed armed enforcers to keep the suffering population from overthrowing his corrupt regime and ripping him limb from limb.  Residents of the capital city (for young Americans that's Caracas) were reduced to killing and eating zoo animals to avoid starvation.

The Times is upset because Trump ended Maduro's support for Cuba by having the U.S. armed forces snatch the communist dictator and his wife and fly 'em to New York City, where  they're now in jail pending trial.  (Of course the ACLU will defend 'em pro bono.)

The Times is even MORE furious that Trump did this without asking permission from congress!  Cuz heaven forbid a president would do anything wif'out asking permission from ouah totally faaaabulous, honest, non-corrupt members of congress, eh?  The sons of whores who can't even pass a law requiring a fucking photo-ID to VOTE, eh?

And of course the Times never said a critical word when Obozo and his SecState Hilliary bombed Libya for 90 days or so--without asking permission from congress.  Double-standards again, as always.

SO...the problem is that Cuba doesn't have the cash to buy oil at market price.  And now that Venezuela is no longer trading oil for Cuban troops and doctors, Cuba doesn't have any nation willing to give 'em oil.

So the Times is delighted to show Americans how the people of Cuba are coping with only having electricity a few hours a day.

When residents of, say, North Carolina lose power for weeks after a devastating flood, duh Times bleats that it's a real disaster--and Trump's fault cuz...reasons!  But when Cubans lose electricity, the story is totally different: Now it's a faaabulous, inspirational, uplifting story about people having fun!  Seriously, you have to read it to see what a total propaganda piece it is, praising communism and tarring Trump.

Here's the Times:

[Trump] has pushed the island into its worst ever energy crisis, with mass blackouts now lasting nearly all day. And yet six months later the Cuban government and people are still standing.
   This month we visited Cuba to understand how. After a week on the ground, we found that while Cubans are clearly suffering, they are also doing what perhaps they do best: adapting.

Totally faaabulous story!  Heroic resistance to Orange Hitler by duh Cuban pipo, eh? 

We met families walking two hours for water because government pumps had run out of diesel. Without gas for cooking, women burned firewood on the street.

Wait, I thought the story was about no electricity, blamed on Trump.  What does gas have to do with it?  Nothing, but the Times bleats that there isn't any.  Yet later in the article they contradict that.  Eh, don't be picky, readers.  A few contradictions are nothing.

Without electricity, refrigerators became cabinets.  Hitchhikers littered roadsides after the city stopped public bus service.  And dozens of people told us they were simply exhausted after so many sleepless nights in the sweltering heat without fans or air-conditioning. 

The faaabulous stories almost write themselves, eh?  "The heroic resilience of people who are suffering because of the murderous policies of Orange Hitler!"

Medical clinics, nursing homes and bank branches run off solar panels donated by China.  Cell service was sometimes working. Televisions showing the World Cup were not hard to find.  Even roadside stands were serving cold beer from refrigerators powered by the sun.

But the makeshift energy grid also exposed Cuba’s inequality:  The batteries, solar panels and electric vehicles overwhelmingly belong to wealthier Cubans, which usually means those with relatives abroad. Their poorer neighbors often live without power and scrape by with meager pay amid rising inflation.

Wait...isn't one of the principles of communism dat all pipo are totally equal?  But now the Times has just accidentally let it slip dat dis core claim may not actually be true, eh?

Not to worry, comrades: All comrades are equal!  We just haven't confiscated duh solar panels and batteries for duh Collective Good yet, cuz if we did dat, family in Miami would stop sendin' dere relatives duh money to buy dis stuff!

Seriously, you need to read the Times piece at the link to believe how fawning and Trump-demonizing it is.  The communists at the Times want readers to believe that if Cubans are suffering, it's because of Trump, NOT communism. That's horseshit, but the average Times reader has no idea cuz it sounds so plausible, eh?

Exhausted Cubans told us they were angry at both Havana and Washington.  Yet no one said they planned to take to the streets. Aside from banging pots and pans, the Cuban people have hardly staged protests.
    “If you express your opinion on the street, they throw you in jail or fine you,” said a 24-year-old, standing with his wife on a darkened street. “I can’t put my family at risk.”

Ah.  Guess that would explain the lack of protests, eh?  Of course that's universal with communism.

The Times story explains how communism continues to attract millions of followers in the U.S. and Europe despite being a disaster: because reporters and editors in the Mainstream Media lie--fluently, brazenly, plausibly.

When U.S. forces captured Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás Maduro, in January, Nelson Vega knew Cuba had a problem. Venezuelan oil had powered Cuba for years.
   A month later the 38-year-old entrepreneur borrowed money from relatives in Florida to buy a Chinese-made electric rickshaw for $4,850. It took 10 hours to charge, and almost immediately the blackouts made that difficult.  So he bought another $600 in solar panels and fastened them to its roof.
   Now he can power the battery by parking it in the sun for a day. “To me, this is the future,” he said. “We’re going to overcome the U.S. blockade.”

Sounds suspiciously like capitalism, eh comrade?  And with the help of prosperous relatives in Miami, he'll probably do well.  Nice to have prosperous relatives in a capitalist country, eh?  So Cubans will keep going, and the leftists who run the Times will keep blaming Trump--when the problem is communism.

Few countries are adopting solar faster than Cuba.  Solar now provides about 10 percent of Cuba’s electricity needs, the government says, and that the country's entire consumption will from renewable energy by 2050.
   We came across one of the government’s 54 solar parks, all built with China’s help.

One small problem: 

Cuba lacks the massive batteries needed to store solar power.  So at midday solar can provide about 20 percent of Cuba’s electricity--but virtually none after dusk, when demand peaks. 

The Times softens this shocking news by writing "virtually none."

The Times probably thinks sunset is part of Orange Hitler's assault on Cuba too, eh? 

A hot-selling item in Cuba now is lithium batteries that can be charged in a few hours to temporarily power televisions, fans or even refrigerators. 

The Times writers call this "Cuba’s hottest product of the moment."  Suggests they're made in Cuba, eh?  Uh...no.  Imported from Chyna.  Costs about $750 in Cuba, where the average salary is $30 a month.  So two years of salary for most Cubans.  So how can Cubans manage to buy 'em, eh?

As the Times cunningly camouflages it, "most of the batteries are "sponsored by relatives abroad."  Ahh, "sponsored," y'say?  Not "given" or "furnished" or similar, cuz dat wud make the point they're trying so valiantly to hide too obvious.

Wait, it gets better:

Other Cubans are electrifying their homes with the gas piped in for cooking and heating water. About 280,000 residences in Havana alone have such gas lines, and many are using gas to power generators.  Cuba produces the gas domestically, so it's one of the few energy sources not affected by the [fictional] "blockade."
   Natural gas is also cheap, especially for the 120,000 households *that pay a flat rate regardless of use.*  One man said he had been running a generator off gas almost nonstop, yet was still billed the usual 50 pesos a month--about eight cents.

See, this is one of the faaabulous features of communism:  no meters.  Flat rate per month.  Meaning residents can use as much as they want at no extra cost.  Yay, FREE!

Y'know what we need, citizen?  A great prezzy like Kamala Harris!  Or AOC!  Or dat *totally dreamy, proven leader Gavin Newsom!  A candidate who will deliver on doze faaaabulous DSA goals, eh?

Just get the Times to do what they just did for Cuba!  Or earlier for bribem: "Sharp as a tack."  "No evidence of bribes."  "Hunter's laptop was a Russian plant!"  Cackles will the leading the polls within days.
 

How much of the stock market's performance is due to AI?

I'm really skeptical of "Business Insider" because they seem to write articles to make stocks move the way they want.

Yeah, we're all totally shocked, right?

But sometimes...

Most college-educated people should have heard about a stock market strategy called "short sales," or just "shorting the market."  "Shorting" means you borrow shares, sell them at the current market price, and hope the stock drops, so when it's time to close the contract you can buy them back at a lower price to replace the shares you borrowed.  So it's a bet that the price of a stock will drop.

Business Insider says an analysis by a company called "S3 Partners" says "short" bets in the S&P 500 are the highest since the company started keeping track of 'em in 2010.  

They claim the value of "short" contracts is almost double what it was a year ago, and virtually the same as it was right before the mortgage meltdown/real estate bust of 2008.

Again, I'm very skeptical of Business Insider because I think many of their claims are designed to manipulate the market.  And "S3 Partners" is a firm whose entire business is selling data to investors.  So, self-serving story.  But even shills can be right sometimes, so here's their theory:

Every day the "newz" is full of stories about more huge investments in AI, and how "the U.S. is in a race with China that we can't afford to lose," eh?  With hype like that, investors have been pouring money into AI stocks, and those companies have been spending like mad--staggering sums.

SO...with the "skirmish" in Iran cutting world oil supplies, and analysts predicting the GOP will get clobbered in November, most people would expect the stock market would be tanking.  Instead it's been doing really well.  

BI claims 60% of the markets' performance is due to AI "and AI-adjacent companies."

If true (and it's likely pretty close), that could be a big problem, because AI has now run into several HUGE problems that threaten to end the party:  First, the big AI companies got user companies hooked with low initial pricing per use.  But because the developers are desperate for revenue, those low-price "hook" offers have ended.  

The result is that big users of AI have seen their monthly bills go from a few thousand dollars a month to a million or so.  So many using companies are sharply limiting use--cutting revenue for AI providers.

Second is that China is offering cheaper versions that are competitive with the latest U.S. AI offerings.  As you could predict, that drives tens of thousands of corporate AI users to the lower-cost Chinese version.

Third is oversupply here at home: Over 1,500 new "data centers" are in various stages of construction or planning in the U.S.  As those come on-line, developers and investors believe they'll be flush with customers and will make a fortune.

By contrast, skeptics believe that when supply exceeds demand, many of these centers will have to compete for customers--by lowering what they charge per token, eh?  

If the second case is true, what do ya think the result will be, eh?  Sure: revenue will be way less than what they assumed.  If that's true, companies that built these massive centers will default on the loans--mean lenders take a huge hit.  What does that do to the market? 

Competitors will buy surplus data centers for a fraction of what they cost to build--but that won't decrease supply.

Fourth is leftist "activists" pressuring corrupt local pols to cancel or re-negotiate contracts for things like water use.  They already signed the contract, but if you haven't noticed, corrupt leftist politicians are happy to tear up contracts if they don't like 'em.

What does that mean?  The new "deal" allowed by the pols will increase costs above what was assumed, making it even harder to make a profit.

So while AI software developers will continue to have significant revenue (though less than expected due to competition from Chyna), companies in the data-center business may find it impossible to stay in business.

SO...four likely "adverse effects," eh?  Even if only one or two of those turn out to be true, what effect do ya think this will have on the market?  And when? 

Huge systems have equally huge inertia, meaning something can be "fatally shot," but because of the huge inertia it takes months for the effects to be felt by the whole economy.  If the problems discussed above are accurate, the damage won't be felt right away--but will continue to have what the Brits call "knock-on effects" for a few years.  

Of course I could easily be wrong.  And again, I'm very skeptical of BI and "S3 Partners."

Another day in California, another 73-year-old stabbed to death

Ahh, California--and yet another brutal, unprovoked murder you will NEVER hear about on the evening news, or in a U.S. paper more than 80 miles from San Francisco:  

Last Monday, in the middle of the day, in lovely Santa Cruz, a 19-year-old crazy fatally stabbed a 73-year-old woman, Rachell Summers, stabbing her 11 times outside a mall, at mid-day.
  
Tyler Leibelt, 19, has been charged with murder.  He confessed, saying he "planned to kill someone" that day.  Didn't have anyone in mind.

He bought the knives used in the murder just minutes before attacking his victim.  Ran up behind the 73-year-old and stabbed her in the back, followed by ten other blows.

He then went to a nearby gas station and called 911 to confess, saying he would surrender to police.

Now, in California, as in New York City, murders of defenseless elderly people don't even raise eyebrows anymore.  What makes this one notable is what liberals call the killer's "law-enforcement involvement."  Means they knew he was a nutter who had previously said he wanted to kill LOTS of people.  

But in shithole states, the law just shrugs.  "Dat be perfekly fine, citizen.  You have a nice day now.  An' if yew decide to kill someone, please do it in a different county, eh?  Good fellow."
 
Yes, the killer told police he'd been "suffering from homicidal fantasies for awhile."  He said *he'd previously told cops about these fantasies but somehow he "kept getting let out of custody."* 

That last sentence reportedly comes from a charging document. 

Court documents also say that last November he told sheriff's deputies he wanted to "cause a mass casualty event."  He also allegedly wrote a goodbye letter expressing a desire to kill as many people as possible.

SO how many clear signs of "danger: crazy who wants to kill lots of people" warnings does it take before some suicidally-empathetic judge locks this guy up in a mental institution, eh?

I predict all the notes of this guy previously saying he wanted to kill "as many people as possible" will be conveniently buried, forgotten, by the horribly-misnamed "justice system," which hides its incompetence if it can.

And it almost always can.  Files disappear, eh?  Shit happens, citizen.  Sorry 'bout dat.

Tyler will be out in five years and will murder again.  Count on it.  Liberal judges, liberal juries, sympathetic black killer.  

"Expert witness" (liberal): "Yes, judge, as long as he takes his meds my expert opinion is that he'll be perfectly normal."  Of course that won't help the next grandmother he kills.

He may be crazy but he's cunning: Note that he picked an elderly woman to murder, because with two knives and an ambush attack from behind, there was no chance at all of him being overpowered.  Guy's a demon in a skin-suit.

Someone asked "How did we get Tim Walz?"

Someone did a minute of research and found the answer:  

 

Anyone have any counter-theory? 

Conservative parents: tell your kids you think the DSA has some great demands

If you haven't read the "platform" of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA), you probably should.  Soon.

The poster-board below just shows a fraction of what they demand: literally, eliminate the senate, and the Electoral College.  You think that last just means electing the prez by the winner of the national popular vote, which is a long-desired goal of today's Democrat party (search "NPVIC").  But later they explain that's NOT what they mean.  Instead they want to abolish presidential elections entirely, with the prez chosen by congress.

Oh, and they want congress to appoint Supreme Court judges, and pack the court.  "Medicare for all."  And of course "abolish ICE."  Free college for all--including illegal aliens.  Amnesty for all illegals.  Unlimited "chain migration."

They wanna abolish what most of us still think of as the Department of Defense, and abolish police.  (Initially just "de-fund," then abolish.)  Of course everyone gets released without posting bail.  End all investigations of alleged Medicare, Medicaid and welfare fraud.  Really, I don't have time to do justice to all their faaabulous points.

Now, those of you who know me may think I'm gonna advocate shooting these dumb sons of bitches, but I'm NOT.  Instead what we have here is a FABULOUS opportunity to educate your kids.  Seriously.  Here's how:

At dinner, tell your kids about the fabulous platform of the DSA, and how all the cool parents are voting DSA in November.  Now, your kids know you're conservatives, so you're definitely NOT cool.  So they're gonna be surprised when you say you're actually impressed with the DSA's demands. 

Now, after you've listed all the above demands, totally change the subject.

The kids will be baffled, wondering What the hell was the point of all THAT?  Don't say more.  Literally smile and say "And how was your day, dear?" 

If your kids are even remotely clever, one might ask "How does the DSA think they're gonna pay for all this?"

Your answer is all ready to go: "They say they'll just have the government borrow it from Chyna, like the government does now.  Plus they say we'll save almost a trillion dollars by eliminating the armed forces, which should pay for giving all our new American citizens homes, free food, free medical care and free college."

It may take your kids a few days to realize you're being facetious, but don't ever admit it.  Let 'em think you're lost your minds.  That's the whole point, eh?  

 

You'll have to practice this if you want it to work.  And obviously both parents have to be all-in on the game.

The next move is when one of your kids asks for money or to go shopping for clothes: "Oh that's so sweet, dear, but we gave your allowance (or clothes money, or college fund, etc) to the DSA so they could help win in November.  But they said not to worry: they promised to pay us back after they win in November, because they'll own all the banks.  So we'll buy you some clothes then.  Besides, even if they didn't, you can't object to sharing with poor refugees, right?

"And you may have to get better grades, because giving all the new Americans free college means there will be lots more...uh...'new American citizens' admitted, so until they expand there will only be a few thousand slots for whites at the universities you've said you were interested in.  Fortunately the DSA says all college will now be free, so at least you don't have to worry about paying for college, eh?"

With a bit of skill you can play this gag for years.  Can you imagine your kids bitching to their friends about how dumb their parents are, believing all the DSA horseshit?

See, Mainstream Media reporters will NEVER ask the "cool" DSA "How you gonna pay for dis?"  In fact, the Media won't say a critical word about the DSA, because Dems need the votes of DSA members to take control of both chambers of congress.  So your kids expect that.  What they don't expect is that you--their supposedly stupid conservative parents--could support the horseshit.  So they'll stop and examine what the communists are proposing.

Mission accomplished. 

Say, this sounds like a FAAABULOUS idea!

 

Drafting the Constitution

 

Okay, so the Founders may not have been brilliant ALL the time... 

Wanna see how the national debt is rising? Consider the price of a postage stamp

For those of you who aren't fluent with maff, so don't believe our $39 Trillion national debt is a problem, here's an example that may get it across to ya:

In 1929 a first-class postage stamp cost two cents.

Two weeks ago the price of the same stamp was raised to...do you even know?

82 cents.  So in 97 years it increased NOT just by merely a factor of ten or 20, but it's now 41 times more expensive than 97 years ago.  Here's a plot:

 

 1929           2¢
 1936           3¢
 1941           3¢
 1949           3¢
 1956           3¢
 1963           5¢
 1971           8¢
 1980          15¢
 1991           29¢
 2001           34¢
 2008           41¢
 2016           47¢
 2024           73¢
July 12, 2026       82¢

At the recent rate of increase, it's doubling every 12 years.  And you see the result above.

Turns out our national debt is doubling even faster--about every eight to ten years.  But the average American doesn't know that, and wouldn't believe it if he or she did.  The history of stamp prices makes it slightly more believable.

Even if we assume the slower ten-year doubling time, we're  already in a trap that's almost impossible to escape.  Already our government is paying over a TRILLION dollars every year just in interest on the debt--and that number will continue to rise every year.

And since the government already spends more than it takes in in taxes, tariffs and fees, we have to borrow even the interest we have to pay on past borrowings.

SO...to have even a sliver of hope, somehow we've got to get the corrupt, terminally useless congress to cut spending.  Of course they won't, because they get massive kickbacks ("campaign donations) from some of it.  And domestic free shit has so many supporters.  But we need to zero ALL foreign aid, and all sex-change operations, and drastically cut Medicaid.  

When big, leftist-run "foundations" complain that this is awful, invite those leftist foundations to step up and use some of their billions in stored wealth to fill the gap between what the  government will pay the states, and what Medicaid advocates demand.

Of course congress won't do any of those things, so the disaster becomes inevitable.  Set in concrete, due to the pols' lust to stay in power. 

Of course you don't believe that.  Only two percent of Democrats understand compound interest and exponential growth.  (If you don't believe that, try going to Wal-Mart and asking 20 radom people to explain those to ya.)  And even those who believe the maff (math) don't believe the conclusion of inevitability: "Only right-wing conspiracy theorists believe this is dangerous!  It's not, cuz something will intervene to prevent disaster."

And of course, depending on your definition of "disaster" the Dems may have a point: When we have to pay TWO trillion a year in interest instead of a mere ONE trillion, so are having to borrow an extra trillion a year just to pay the interest, Dems might not consider that a disaster.

And when the gummint has to offer interest rates of 8 or 10 percent to get people to loan money to the U.S, Democrat pols might not consider that a disaster.

And when, as a result of the above, the doubling time for the national debt falls from ten years to, say, five years, Democrat pols won't even notice, let alone consider it a disaster.

Tell me, Democrats: what interest rate, or amount paid in interest, do ya think is too high, eh?  I'd like a number.

Of course no Mainstream "reporter" will ask that.  And if one did, the answer would be "Dis all beez Trumpy's fault!!"

Wait...so it IS a problem--but only if yew kin blame Trump?  Nice!

African "migrant" is asked if he ever considers the girls he and his friends rape

A reporter interviewed an African migrant and asked "Do you ever think about the girls you rape?"  Migrant: "Like, she might scream?  Or we might get an STD?"

The real story here is NOT that millions of African and Muzz invaders think raping white girls is just fine.  Their own actions prove that to anyone with a functioning brain, beyond doubt.  

Instead the real eye-opener here is that western liberals think we can co-exist by inviting millions of these creatures to live in our nations.

With liberals that's due to a thing called "suicidal empathy."  But with politicians it's something worse: a willingness to destroy your own nation and brutalize your own people--to win and keep power.

Once upon a time, people were executed for that.  But now in much of Europe you'll be imprisoned if you even criticize either "migrants" or Muzz.

Of course you don't believe that.  And is that because you've actually researched it?  No, of course not.  You don't believe it because you don't keep up with these cases in the UK and Europe.  I do, in part because my parents lived in London for 16 years.

Remember what happens to animals who refuse to learn?  No, you don't.  In fact you've probably never even considered the question.  And even if you had, liberals claim "natural law" doesn't apply to humans, eh?  "Cuz we citizens of duh west iz reeel sophisticated!  Yep yep yep!  We don' need t'learn history cuz it don' apply to US.  Cuz we iz...say it wif me: sophisticated!"

Yee-haw. 

Did "officials" in Seattle public skoolz claim "Maff beez raaacis'"?

Five years ago I read that the Seattle public skool system had declared dat "Maff [math] beez RAAaaacist!"  Wanted to find out if they'd actually implemented that horseshit, and if so, how it was working out for 'em.

OOoohhh, "Page not found!"  So I tried another dozen search variations, with the same result.  Wow!  "Hope springs eternal," eh?  I was hoping the outrage from parents would have slapped the fuck out of whichever dumbshit came up with this bullshit.

(Of course it wasn't just one person, eh?  One person couldn't get this published on the Seattle Public Skoolz website without a LOT of pipo signing off on it!)  But with the page taken down, dere wuz no way to prove the moonbats who run all public skoolz in Democrat-ruled states (and also, surprisingly, in lots of conservative states!).

Oh wait:  Thanks to the internet, that page still exists, even though the Seattle Public Skool system took it down and clearly hopes you can't find it.  But I did, and it's below.  You should be able to click to enlarge it:

 

Yes, the website published all the above bullshit on their official taxpayer-funded website.  But let's not jump to the conclusion that the authors--and the folx who run the website--were/are racist, communist fucks.  Cuz just because dey posted  it doesn't mean dey believe it, right?   

Hmmm...wonder if the authors and the pipo who run the website got fired?  Nah, no one got fired.  

Moonbat: "Yew cain't know dat!"  Really?  Cuz if dey'd been fired dey wud have sued the skool system.  And you know that's true.  But no one did.  Q.E.D.  (If you're a young highschool student who doesn't know Latin, look it up.)

And we're just getting started.

 

Now follow me here:  "Liberation" is universally recognized as good.  No one argues against it.  So anything that "prevents liberation" would be...um...take your guess.

Sure: doesn't take a PhD to realize the opposite of good is bad, eh?  But then the author makes the "naked assertion" ("I sed it, so yew mus' accept it!):

"How does [sic] data-driven processes prevent liberation."

Aside from the grammatical error (dude, "grammar beez raaaacis!"), the obvious implication by the author is that "data-driven processes prevent liberation," and thus must be raaaacist, eh?

But how?  Is it racist to note that there are 100 cents in a dollar?  360 degrees in a circle?  That the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees?  Not getting "raaacist" out of those.  But apparently the author(s) is/are.

  

Ahhh, so the author asserts (implies that it must be taken as truth) that math is "manipulated to allow inequality and oppression to persist," eh?  The authors specifically mention "oppression" a dozen times.

Now, I get it: students who read carefully could see that being proficient in maff is good.  But that point is buried under layers of "Maff iz oppressive!"  Wonder how many student readers or raacist teachers came away believing "oppressive" instead of "It's useful to be proficient in math," eh?

Of course the authors (and apparently the anti-white racists who run the website of the Seattle skool system) thought it would be too white to say "Learning math is a good idea."  So they led with "Maff beez raaaacis!"  Wonder how many minority students got past that naked assertion, eh?

In any case, AI sez Seattle's public skool system nevah sed maff beez raaacist!  Cuz see, dey din' explicitly say dat.  Got it.  So all those quotes above--from the website of Seattle public skoolz--do NOT mean dey wuz claimin' "maff beez raaacis."

Wow, such a relief!
