The LA Dodgers this week became the Bud Light of sports.  With these guys…or whatever they are…

Gentle readers, I’m getting worried.  Each week I’m bombarded by more, and more virulent, stupid.  Hold on to your hats; here we go:

And he did this at Hiroshima:  

And there’s a lot of other, t–, for example, the idea that we’re, uh, in terms of, uh, taxes, that they refuse to, for example, we, uh, I was able to balance the budget and pass everything from the, the global warming bill — anyway, I was able to — cut, by 1.7 billion dollars in the first two years, the deficit that we, ah, were, were accumulating, and, uh, because I was able to say, too, that the 55 corporations in America that made forty, 400 billion dollars, or forty billion dollars, 400 billion dollars, that, uh they, uh, they pay zero in tax. Zero.

Take the link and see it for yourself.  It’s horrifying.  America is a laughingstock, and our enemies are going to take advantage of it.

Biden fumbles/stumbles in Japan:

Confused-looking President Biden had to be gently guided by Japanese leader Fumio Kishida on Friday — before tripping and almost falling down some stairs.

The oldest-ever US president looked confused as first lady Jill Biden led him by the hand to meet his Japanese counterpart and his wife for a photo op in Hiroshima ahead of the Group of Seven summit there.

After shaking Kishida’s hand, Biden, 80, turned his attention to the prime minister’s 58-year-old wife, Fumio Kishida — bizarrely bending over with clenched fists, as if in a boxer’s pose, before also shaking her hand.

Kishida, 65, then began leading the US dignitaries to prearranged spots to pose for photos — eventually jumping in to politely guide Biden to his place as the president shuffled slowly over and looked at the ground in clear confusion as to where he was supposed to stand.

‘We’ll figure it out,’ the first lady joked as she and their hosts patiently waited for the aging commander-in-chief to work out where he should stand.

China’s going to seize Taiwan—soon.  Is Biden fit for office?  

That goes just a bit beyond “notes”…

Then the pollsters asked a broader question: “Do you think Joe Biden is showing he is too old to be president or do you think he is showing he is fit to be president?” Sixty-five percent said Biden is showing he is too old to be president, while 35% said he is fit.

Sixty-five percent! That’s a very big number. Breaking it down by party, the results show that 94% of Republicans believe Biden is too old to be president, while 74% of independents say the same thing. Even among Democrats, 33%, fully one-third, say the president is too old to serve.

Which goes to show most D/S/Cs will vote for a D/S/C ham sandwich, which is what they currently have.  Stupid, and so are the 6% of Republicans and 26% of independents.

Yeah, the white man sure is keepin’ these poor folks down.

Oopsie:  

Washington Post reporter Jeff Stein apologized after he was caught quoting Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) prepared remarks instead of his actual statements during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Tuesday.

As you might imagine, what he actually said was all but incomprehensible.  But at least he’s sufficiently recovered to dress appropriately in the Senate:

Oh.  Never mind.

So Defense Secretary Austin and Joint Chief’s Milly said they don’t support this kind of thing:

Were they lying? Stupid? Think we’re stupid?  All three?  Do we have so few drag queens in the ranks we have to hire civilians?

This one didn’t work out the way race hustler Crump thought:

It turns out the nurse was able to prove the five black guys were trying to steal the bike she rented.  Besides, small women six months pregnant commonly try to assault five young black men.  Crump quietly deleted his tweet–racist moron.

Yeah, we figured that one out long ago…  

A senior official in the White House says President Joe Biden’s immigration policy is intended to fill new jobs in government spending programs, high-tech firms, and a growing economy.

‘We are creating new jobs this year as we’re breaking ground on key infrastructure projects under the President’s bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS and Science Act, [and] new green jobs as we implement the Inflation Reduction Act,’ said Katie Tobin, the senior director for transborder security on the National Security Council, adding:

As our economy grows, we need workers that we just don’t have enough of. So it is in our interest to bring people in and to stay competitive globally.

‘In closing,’ Tobin said on May 15, ‘the Biden-Harris administration appreciates both the moral responsibility and the strategic opportunity that migration presents — it’s at the heart of our domestic and our foreign policy agendas.’

Ah.  So spending untold billions on illegals, taking American’s jobs, and depressing wages is good for the economy?  Thanks for clearing that up.

AOC wanted what?! 

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has humiliated herself, apparently in the false belief that truckers care what she thinks. She took to Twitter to call for a trucker boycott of shipments to Florida because of what she terms ‘anti-immigrant’ policies of Governor Ron DeSantis, deliberately conflating legal with illegal immigration, the target of DeSantis’s recent bill.

I’m sure truckers are just dying to do whatever AOC wants:

Even the leftist Tallahassee Democrat conceded this week they were unaware of any truckers actually boycotting the Sunshine State.

The President of Florida Trucking Association, Alix Miller, furthermore, told the British left-wing website the Independent, ‘I’m aware of the reports, but have not heard of any issues.’

Corporate media sources originally reported “empty shelves” due to the protests. It soon became apparent that one of their videos was from October, and showed shortages due to Hurricane Ian. Another showed a recent refrigeration issue at a Walmart Supercenter.

Oh.  Guess not then.

She also showed up in her limo in solidarity with Jordan Neely at his festive funeral and benevolently let some of the bereaved mourners take selfies:

She was devastated, devastated, I tell you.

And in the never-ending annals of having no idea about the nature of one’s customer base:

The woke Target Corporation has partnered for its new Pride clothing line with UK-based designer Abprallen, which insists ‘Satan loves you’ and ‘Satan respects pronouns.’

Among other items in its Pride line, the mega retailer carries Abprallen’s ‘Cure Transphobia’ sweatshirt, which bears the message ‘Cure transphobia, not trans people.’

Abprallen mixes a good deal of satanism with its pro-LGBT activism, asserting on its Instagram page that ‘Satan loves you and respects who you are; you’re important and valuable in this world and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect.’

‘LGBT+ people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God’s will, so fine. We’ll hang with Satan instead,’ it declares.

‘So, naturally, Satan respects pronouns. He loves all LGBT+ people,’ it states.

Oh sure.  Satanist, LGBTQWERTY++– types make up most of Target’s customer base.  The sure way to corporate success is to align your company with Satan, drag queens and trans twits.  Target has panicked, and many stores have done away with these displays, others have greatly reduced them in size and visibility.  What’s wrong with these people anyway?  Even The North Face is getting in on the “destroy our brand” movement:

No, they’re not at all grooming.  Why would you think that?

What the hell?!  

You’ve got to appreciate brand-spankin’ new Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson for being so forthright about what he intends to do to his struggling city.

Johnson promised at his inauguration on Monday to ‘build a Chicago that means our economy gets to grow by rerouting the rivers of prosperity to the base of disinvestment,’ whatever that means, ‘So that no one goes thirsty.’

He’s obviously doing a Kamala Harris or John Fetterman impersonation.  And he wants to turn Chicago into Detroit, only gooder and harder:  

The stupidity is hard to fathom. A ‘head tax’ on employees means less employment. The tax on jet fuel will fall, I suppose, on all who fly into or out of O’Hare or Midway airport–yet another reason to avoid the city. A 3.5% income tax that goes all the way down to $100,000 in income is suicidal. I have no idea how the city plans to implement a ‘wealth tax,’ but it sounds as though a household with a net worth of just $1 million would pay another $4,000 a year. And the transaction fee will drive banking and investment firms out of the city. In short, the plan, if enacted, will be a disaster. Is there any reason to doubt that Chicago’s Left will get most of what it wants? Not that I know of.

Defund and cripple Chicago’s police even more.  Good idea.  Another good idea was German gun maker Heckler & Koch going woke this week.  They quickly put out this furious backpedal:

Nevermind.  I’m sure the woke read better in the original German.

Oops:  

Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) tried to smear Marcus Allen with his Twitter account. Except it’s not his account.

SANCHEZ: ‘Mr. Allen, have you ever used Twitter, yes or no?’
ALLEN: ‘I have utilized Twitter, yes, ma’am.’
SANCHEZ: ‘OK. And is your account @Marcus897050645?’
ALLEN: ‘That is absolutely not my account, no.’
SANCHEZ: ‘OK, that’s not your account. Well, on December 5th 2022, an account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said quote –‘
ALLEN: ‘That is not my account, ma’am.’
SANCHEZ: ‘You haven’t let me finish the question, sir.’
ALLEN: ‘It might have been the football player.’

File this one under “ten feet deep and can’t stop digging.”

Perhaps you might find another line of work less disgusting?

Jennifer Leja is a teacher at Hyde Park Middle School located in the Clark County School District. In Oct. 2021, Leja posted a series of videos relating to race theory on TikTok.

In one video, Leja was singing ‘start a riot’ in expression of support of the following statements:

*Dress codes are ‘sexist’

*”Education is inherently racist

*”History is white-washed

*”White teachers are problematic

The woke virus has spread to Illinois too:

Oh sure, the “eating shit” part is totally appropriate for school.

We met our goals! Yay!

Wait a minute; we only met our goals because we have no electricity and our power plants keep breaking down?!

What South Africa is experiencing ‘unintentionally’ is a dry run for what the rest of us will soon experience, on purpose. Wind and solar facilities produce electricity occasionally, so advanced countries will be a lot like South Africa: no power and no industrial production, most of the time. I described the South Africans as incompetent, but what does that make us?

Maybe that’s not such a great idea…?

 Down with chocolate milk!  

Yes, the same administration that called it ‘outrageous’ and ‘immoral’ to prevent children from taking life-altering hormones to prevent puberty for the purpose of ‘transitioning’ is worried that milk provided at school might have ill effects on their health.

Cutting off breasts and dicks might not be so healthy either.

Another sign of the apocalypse:

This summer, hot dog fans will say goodbye to the Wienermobile and hello to the Frankmobile. Oscar Mayer announced it’s changing the name of its beloved vehicle, but not everyone in Madison is kosher with it.

‘The Wienermobile is tradition,’ said Marty Metzler.

It’s right there in the brand’s jingle, which one man from California, Mario, performed in front of the Capitol Wednesday: ‘I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Wiener, an Oscar Mayer Wiener-something, something,’ he trailed off.

So naturally, he did not wish he was an Oscar Mayer Frank once he heard that that’s what they’re calling the giant hot dog – ‘the All-Beef Beef Frank Frankmobile.’

“Frankmobile?”  Everybody sing along: “I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Frank…”  Nah.

Good shootin’ there Tex:

U.S. military officials are walking back claims that a recent strike in Syria killed an influential al-Qaeda figure, following assertions by the dead man’s family that he had no ties to terrorists but was a father of 10 tending to his sheep when he was slain by an American missile.

Lotfi Hassan Misto, 56, whose family identified him as the victim of a Hellfire missile attack on May 3, was a former bricklayer who lived quietly in this town in northwest Syria, according to interviews with his brother, son and six others who knew him. They described a kind, hard-working man whose ‘whole life was spent poor.’

But ended rich, as the price of a Hellfire missile is about $200,000 bucks.

 But she’s the saintly spouse of the holy lightbringer!  

Yes. She’s a banana.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s touted health drink Plezi would fail the health standards set by the Obama administration, a new Bloomberg report found.

After discussing with 12 independent health professionals and organizations, the news organization found that Plezi’s current flavors released earlier this month would not meet the requirements to be served at elementary and middle schools.

“Under the Obama-era school-meal regulations currently under review, US elementary and middle schools may only serve water, milk, or 100% fruit or vegetable juice with no added sweeteners (the regulations do permit schools to dilute juices with water) — and none of Plezi’s four current flavors meet these criteria,” the article read.

Ooops.  At least the Obamas are consistently hypocritical:

Oh sure, this will make all the difference:  

Anheuser-Busch continues to reel at the drubbing it’s taken since April. The company cashiered two of the guides who claimed to know the country ahead and instead led Bud Light into the disastrous Am-Busch at Mulvaney Creek. But it’s still trying to stop the bleeding.

A simple apology might suffice, but Anheuser-Busch can’t bring itself to anger the Alphabet Mob. So instead, it’s going to wrap itself in the flag, or the next best thing. It’s going to wrap Bud Light cans in camouflage, according to a report.

The company is set to launch a line of camouflage aluminum bottles that promote the ‘Folds of Honor’ program, which provides educational scholarships for families of fallen and disabled American military service members and first responders, the New York Post reported.

I’m sure their marketing geniuses said: “I know!  We’ll sell Bud in camo cans.  Deplorables love camo!”

 A Christian church did this?!  In Texas?! 

A Christian church in Texas hosted a drag event last weekend that was open to families, prompting protests from locals urging the attendees to ‘DEFEND PURITY, REJECT PERVERSION.’

The First United Methodist Church in Sherman, Texas became the venue for the May 13 LGBTQ event, after it was moved from its original location at nearby Pecan Grove Park.

Is there such a thing as a “family friendly drag show?”

Reports noted that the venue changed last minute and was held at the ‘Mosaic Campus’ of First United Methodist.

On its website, the church noted that it prides itself on inclusivity, stating, ‘We are young and old, married and single, gay and straight, liberal and conservative, non-conformists and traditionalists, those recovering from addictions, those still battling addictions, and those whose challenges take other forms.’

There was a furry too?!

According to eyewitnesses, Sherman police were seen outside the event escorting the drag performers and the furry around the church. A spokesperson for police department confirmed to The Christian Post it had hired two off-duty officers to provide security.

Oh.  It was Methodists, so not a Christian church after all.

How come every “error” favors D/S/Cs?

A wave of concern hit when a printer mailed registration cards to nearly one million voters in Nassau County, New York, labeling them all Democrats.

‘It’s a terrible error. People are upset. People are angry. There is a lot of confusion,’ GOP Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said Tuesday, according to the New York Post.

In a social media post, Blakeman demanded the Board of Elections’ vendor address and remedy the problem that resulted in almost 600,000 voters being assigned the wrong political party.

I’m sure it was just a coincidence, just like every other coincidence that favors D/S/Cs.

 Screaming and arm waving are really convincing:   

A Friday morning session in the unicameral Nebraska legislature devolved into chaos after one Democratic lawmaker began shouting her support for transgender people amid a debate on a bill to ban sex change procedures for minors in the state.

Take the link, gentle readers.  It’s about a minute that feels like a week.  If you’re a normal person embarrassed for people making asses of themselves, it’s actually painful to watch.

In voicing her disapproval to the measure Friday morning, state Democrat Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh slapped the lectern and repeatedly shouted: ‘Transgender people belong here, we need trans people, we love trans people.’

And she said it over and over again, louder and more deranged each time.

 “Pregnant People?” 

Note the language in this article [emphasis mine]:

According to a small study, pregnant people using any form of cannabis should consider stopping due to potential harm to the fetus…

The study used data from the medical records of 109 pregnant people from an obstetrics clinic at Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine…

The team observed that some pregnant people use marijuana early in pregnancy for morning sickness in the first trimester…

‘Urinary THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) testing is more objective than self-report, since pregnant people may not want to state that they are using cannabis,’ Moore said. ‘However, one study suggests that very few pregnant people (0.5 percent) use cannabis strictly for medical purposes…’

Still waiting for a non-female “pregnant person” to produce a video of their birthing.  Closeups, please.

Of course:

In a new interview, former NFL second-string quarterback and national anthem protester Colin Kaepernick said that without him, the league still isn’t woke enough and hasn’t changed since he last played pro football in 2017.

Speaking to NPR’s Juana Summers, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback said that there had been no “substantial change” for the better to advance his pet social issues even though the league has thrown more than $300 million at community groups, left-wing anti-cop organizations, and other groups that support the exact same issues that Kaepernick pushes with his various charitable efforts and political activism, according to Fox News.

So let’s see: Kaepernick made himself radioactive, and he’s a mediocre football player, but the problem is the NFL isn’t sufficiently woke.  Of course.

You—Normal Americans smart enough not to live in Illinois–are going to pay for this when Illinois suddenly goes bankrupt: 

Illinois instituted a program to pay medical expenses for illegal immigrants. Shockingly, more illegals showed up than had been anticipated, and a program estimated to cost $2 million to $4 million now weighs in at $1.1 billion. They were only off by 27,500 percent! Close enough, I suppose, for government work.

They’re crazy stupid in NYC too:

Can’t remember how long it’s been since a Pulitzer Prize actually meant something:

Suuuure he’s a girl…

The Pulitzer Prizes embraced the transgender agenda in a major way this year by awarding transgender ‘woman’ Andrea Long Chu with the prize for criticism, recognizing ‘her’ book reviews that have appeared in Vox Media-owned New York magazine and its site, Vulture.

But since the awards were announced this month, Chu’s win has spawned a growing backlash among women who have expressed both bewilderment and disgust, especially over Chu’s past writings in which he has claimed that anyone can be a woman and and described how pornography addiction led to his desire to become a ‘woman.’

‘Chu’s writing is often convoluted and abstruse, like a junior varsity version of Judith Butler but with a flare for cheap provocation.’

He received wide acclaim for his 2019 book Females in which he delves into detail about what kinds of porn he likes to masturbate to. One of his favorite genres is ‘sissy porn,’ which involves men wearing women’s underwear and being forced into submissive or feminine roles.

‘Sissy porn did make me trans,’ he wrote in the book. ‘At the center of sissy porn lies the asshole, a kind of universal vagina through which femaleness can always be accessed.’

Chu also argued that being a woman isn’t biological or even genetic but rather an ‘existential condition.’

Chu is obviously a literary genius.

Pride craters:  

The Tampa Pride on the River event has been canceled due to the series of anti-groomer bills passed by the Florida legislature and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), which in part imposes penalties on establishments that expose children to sexually explicit drag shows and similar adult performances.

DeSantis recently signed a series of anti-groomer legislation designed to protect children from the radical left’s woke gender agenda, which includes pushing transgender ideology and gender confusion on minors. One of the pieces of legislation signed is titled the ‘Protection of Children,’ or HB 1438, which imposes fines on establishments that allow children to attend sexually explicit adult shows, such as drag shows.

Golly.  No kids to groom, no point in “pride” events.  Hmmm.  Could that reveal something about “pride” agendas?

Gee, I’m so old I remember when sexually oriented stuff in the workplace got you into trouble:

The Department of Education (DOE) concluded an investigation into a Georgia school district Friday, arguing that the removal of several books containing pornographic material ‘created a hostile environment’ for LGBTQ and non-white authors and readers, according to a letter.

The DOE’s Office of Civil Rights launched an investigation into the Forsyth County School District (FCSD) after a complaint was made by an individual, whose identity has not been released, that the district had purposefully gotten rid of books about the LGBTQ community in January 2022, according to The Washington Post. The department sent a letter to FCSD’s superintendent, Dr. Jeff Bearden, on Friday that its investigation had concluded the district was attempting to remove books with ‘diverse authors and characters, including people who are LGBTQI+ and authors who are not white.’

Wow.  So removing sexually oriented stuff from schools is now what gets you into trouble?

The Mummified Meat Puppet Administration: friend of the poor and middle class:

The Biden administration’s upcoming rules requiring stricter energy efficiency standards for mobile homes will raise costs for low-income homebuyers while failing to meaningfully limit emissions, industry experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) rules — set to go into effect May 31, one year after they were finalized — update insulation and sealing requirements among other efficiency standards for mobile homes, formally known as manufactured homes, which the agency estimates could save the average consumer between $177 to $475 per year on utilities while boosting average manufactured home prices by $4,100 to $4,500. The rule will have an ‘adverse’ impact on low-income homebuyers via increased prices — the median household income for manufactured homeowners is $35,000, according to the Manufactured Housing Institute —  but will likely have a ‘negligible’ effect on carbon emissions, Jonathan Lesser of the Manhattan Institute told the DCNF.

So it will cost people who can’t afford it $4500.  But surely it will fix the CLIMATE CRISIS?!

‘According to the DOE’s own estimates, over a 30-year period, the new rule will reduce CO2 emissions by 80.4 million metric tons,’ Lesser noted, citing the DOE’s regulatory analysis. ‘By comparison, according to the 2022 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, US energy-related CO2 emissions were 4.7 billion metric tons. So, over a 30-year period, the new rule will reduce CO2 emissions by the equivalent of 150 hours of US emissions in 2022.  …  Obviously, this rule will have zero impact on climate.’

Yeah.  Thought not.

When you’ve lost Monty Python…   Now the famous Loretta scene from Life of Brian is right out:

Cleese told an audience at his one-man show last week that when the scene (co-written with the late Graham Chapman) was performed at a read-through for the new show in New York last year, doubts emerged. ‘At the end, I said to the American actors: ‘What do you think?’ And they said: ‘We love the script, but you can’t do that stuff about Loretta nowadays.’

‘So here you have something there’s never been a complaint about in 40 years, that I’ve heard of, and now all of a sudden we can’t do it because it’ll offend people. What is one supposed to make of that? But I think there were a lot of things that were actually, in some strange way, predictive of what was actually going to happen later.’

When we’ve lost humor, we’ve lost it all.  Take the link and see for yourself.

Oh. My. God: 

One of the most high profile alliance units is Standing NATO Maritime Group 2 (SNMG2).

Because of its high profile and extended operations with alliance nations, the ships we assign to SNMG2 don’t just represent the USA as any warship that ‘shows the flag’ does, but it imprints on the mind of military and civilian leaders in Europe the quality of the US Navy and by extension, the nation it serves.

Our opponents in the world will also see it as an indication of our general health, morale, and the respect we show our friends. [skip]

That my friends is the Arleigh Burke-class Flight IIA guided missile destroyer USS James E. Williams (DDG 95) as it was leaving Toulon, France yesterday, May 22, 2023.

I’m only surprised sailors weren’t drying their laundry on the masts and radars.  But I’m sure every sailor makes up for it by being expert at pronoun usage, virtue signaling and doing drag shows.  And finally:

The female cyclists who didn’t play along: absolutely not stupid.  But as for everything else: too stupid to survive.
