The Left Wants You Dead, So They Can Install Leaders-for-life!

Via The MAGA Institute

Don’t be misled: the Left is evil, not stupid. None of their “failures” are failures; they see them as great victories in their century-and-a-half march to totalitarianism. No, they’re very cunning and very patient, willing to win the long-game, by increments when we stand in their way and by great chunks when we let our guard down, but ever forward, never back.

Almost eight years ago, in my opening monologue as the host of Radio RedNationRising, I analogized the Left as an octopus: eight legs all moving in different directions at different speeds, but always propelling the entire organism forward. And three years ago, on my Patriot Uprising Show, I dubbed them Commiecrats: they hate you, they hate me, they hate America.

Until you understand that fundamental truth, nothing they do will make sense. And they count on your goodwill to keep you confused, to keep you blind to their machinations. But once you realize that, yes, they do hate us, they do hate America (and all of Western Civilization), everything they do makes sense and all the pieces of the puzzle fall neatly into place.

They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Guess who is exempted from all of the “requirements” the government is imposing on citizens? That’s right, illegals and refugees. Guess which religion is the only religion being granted religious exemptions in substantial numbers from the not-a-vax? That’s right, the religion of blowing people to pieces.

They’re also smart enough to not put all their eggs in one basket. Yes, they have used their Scamdemic to make the fastest advances of their totalitarian agenda ever. Not since “the Sixties” (which really ran across two decades, from JFK’s assassination to our ignominious withdrawal from Saigon) have we seen as great a cultural shift in as short a period of time.

They aren’t just coming for us with their maskerades and their lockdowns and their needles filled with poison. Think Russiagate. Think Big Tech “community standards.” Think Jussie Smollet and Rachel Dolezol. Think the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” and “I Can’t Breathe” canards that earned Black Lies Matters billions and it’s founder a few sweet real estate purchases. All within the last five years.

And it’s no coincidence that the normalization of sexual deviance (pedophilia) and the brainwashing of our children to believe that “gender is a social construct,” with drag queen story hours for children as young as two funded by taxpayer dollars at pubic libraries, has also happened in the last five years. Indeed, having NFL Hall-of-Fame Defensive End Michael Strahan celebrate as “a pioneer” on morning television a 10-year-old boy who dresses in drag and has adult men tossing currency at his feet at strip clubs was a major coup in their eyes. Toxic masculinity neutered on national television. Ratchet forward the agenda a notch.

Nor is using taxpayer dollars to fund their deconstruction of Western Civilization something foreign to them. Indeed, to celebrate it’s Centennial in 2016, the Department of the Interior’s National Park Service wasted millions of dollars creating a book entitled LGBTQ America, ostensibly as part of it’s “Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science” initiative. (PRO TIP: the best way to understand what ISN’T science is when the Left calls it “Science.”) Ratchet forward the agenda another notch.

Transexuals didn’t suddenly explode onto the scene in the past five years. It’s no explosion, it’s the culmination of over a half-century of normalizing psychological aberrations by increments. Yes, The Danish Girl was a novel in 2000 and a movie in 2015, but Einar Wegener (who adopted the name Lili Elbe) died in 1931 as a result of an attempted uterine transplant and his story was published posthumously in 1933 under the title Man into Woman: An Authentic Record of a Change of Sex. Click, one more notch forward.

George Jorgensen went from GI-Joe to GI-Jane in the 1950s and his transition to Christine was splashed all over the front-page in the New York Daily News, becoming a cultural oddity, if not an icon. But the seeds of normalizing transgenderism were planted in the global consciousness. Click; another notch forward.

NYC’s Stonewall riots in NYC in 1969 were the break-through moment for homosexuals, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The government has no business legislating or prosecuting people for their sexual practices, provided that they involve only consenting adult humans. But that was just their foot in the door, the inch that they used to take a mile. Click.

First they co-opted the language, perverting the meanings of “queer” and “gay” to mean “homosexual.” (They will argue that they were merely adopting slurs used against them as badges of pride. Maybe. But queer has many other uses other than as a slur. E.g., hit a man hard in the head with a punch and he’s “on Queer Street,” which has no homosexual connotation whatsoever.) Click.

Initially, all they were demanding was acceptance, the right to live and let live. Click. But once that objective was achieved, they began pushing for approval of their lifestyle. Click. And then not just approval, but promotion. Click.

They went to court in Massachusetts in 1990s seeking the legal right to adopt children, lying that oh, no, they didn’t want marriage; they just wanted the right to have a family; which “right” was granted unilaterally by native South African and hardcore Leftist Massachusetts Supreme Court Chief Justice Margaret Marshall. This was a double victory for the Leftists, as it eventually drove out Catholic Charities, the nation’s largest adoption agency and the agency through which my brother and I were adopted, from providing adoption services. Rachet the agenda forward another two notches.

They then exposed that falsehood as a lie when they went back to Chief Justice Marshall demanding the right to legally marry. Click. (Note, the correct decision, in my opinion, would have been for the SJC to declare state licensure of marriage contracts were spawned out of racial animus and that the state has no business entering into…and profiting from…legal private contracts. Of course, that wasn’t the decision taken because that would have reduced rather than expanded state power.)

Nor are men competing in women’s sports anything new. Richard Raskind had no hope of competing on the men’s tennis circuit, but as Renée Richards, he sued the United States Tennis Association in 1976 to enter the U.S. Open as a woman and ended up making it to the third round in the 1979 tournament. Click. And it’s no coincidence that the world’s most celebrated male athlete in 1976, Bruce Jenner, is now the world’s most celebrated transexual. What better way to shatter society’s science-based belief that there are two genders than to turn the Olympic decathlon champion into a chick? MAJOR click.

Everything they do is anti-science and they have a bad habit of using statistically insignificant exceptions to destroy the rule. “Whataboutism” is one of their go-to weapons against normality. So, yes, genetic combination errors resulting in people with XXX, XXY, and XYY genotypes do occur. Yes, phenotypic hermaphrodites do occur. And yes, people with gender dysphoria are not new (e.g., certain American Indian tribes considered them to be possessed of Two Spirits and shamans of a sort). But the Left doesn’t care about these people; it is merely using them to advance their agenda.

Reliable surveys have each concluded that the number of homosexuals in America ranges from 1-3% of the population. But the lie advanced by the LGBTQ+ (and yes, the + is for pedophiles; P didn’t score well in test market studies and its use was withdrawn) radicals is that 10% of the population is homosexual. Literally everything they say, do, or assert is either a lie or is based on a lie. Why the inflated statistic? To make people think it’s more common than it really is…and therefore normal.

Ditto for transgenderism. The number of transgenders in America is well under 1% of the population (the most generous studies I’ve seen peg the number at 0.1%). So why the sudden furore over transgender bathrooms and transgender athletes? It has nothing to do with transgenders, who should, like all people with mental health problems, be pitied and treated with love and charity as children of God and given the mental health services they so desperately need. No, transgenders are merely the Left’s flavor du jour. They will be thrown under the bus by the Left to advance the agenda just as female athletes have been in favor of transgenders. It’s never about the victim group; it’s always about advancing the agenda.

Destroy the Church and turn people’s faces away from God. Destroy an educational system that enabled us to put men on the moon in under ten years using slide rules. Destroy a manufacturing sector that provided “good jobs at good wages” for the wealthiest working class in the world. Destroy the black community under the guise of compassion. Destroy the nuclear family, because a strong, stable family is the number one indicator of future educational, financial, and mental health success. Destroy children’s fertility, either by court order permitting their mother to destroy their hormonal system and/or genitally mutilate them via sex reassignment surgery or by altering the food supply or by encouraging abortion and elective sterilization or homosexuality/lesbianism/transgenderism. In the words of our great President, “Everything Woke turns to shit.” MORE.

The Same CDC That Can’t Figure Out What A Man Is Now Wants To ‘Study Guns’

Via The Federalist

Crime continues to spike in communities across America. The weekend tallies from Chicago’s gang-related crimes continue, and New York City’s Times Square and even upscale attractions in Washington, D.C. aren’t immune to criminals exchanging gunfire. This is happening because “no-bail” policies are putting criminals back on the street, yet politicians are looking elsewhere for causes, even floating proposals to pay criminals to not shoot others.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky says she wants to study why shootings are increasing. Walensky told CNN, “Something has to be done about this. Now is the time — it’s pedal to the metal time.” The Biden administration thinks this is a novel approach, but the CDC has done this before.

CDC Director Claims Gun Control Not the Aim
Walensky claimed she’s not looking for gun control and wants to include gun owners as part of the conversation to tackle so-called “gun violence.” In Walensky’s words, the issue is a “serious public health threat.”

She incorrectly claimed that “We haven’t spent the time, energy, and frankly the resources to understand this problem because it’s been so divided.” On the contrary, the topic has been well researched and CDC’s own online Web-Based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System tracks fatal and nonfatal injuries from guns and other sources.

Congress passed the Dickey Amendment to tell the CDC it couldn’t advocate for gun control, as it did before the amendment. But the Dickey Amendment doesn’t stop gun-related studies at the CDC.

Indeed, the CDC has studied guns and suicide, noise and lead exposure at ranges, firearm violence prevention in Wilmington, Delaware, and firearms homicides and suicides in metropolitan areas. In 2020, the CDC announced research grants to prevent firearm-related violence and injuries. The FBI, Department of Justice, and Congress did additional studies. President Barack Obama signed an executive order in 2013 directing $10 million to “gun violence” research. The CDC website has a section dedicated to “Funded Research” and another section dedicated to “Firearm Violence Prevention.”

The CDC also previously studied the effectiveness of laws for gun and ammunition bans, restrictions on acquiring firearms, waiting periods for firearm purchases, ammunition restrictions, licensing and registration schemes, child access prevention laws, and concealed carry laws. The CDC “found insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws or combinations of laws reviewed on violent outcomes.”

In the interview, Walensky tried to assure gun owners she wants to find “common ground.”

“Let’s agree, we don’t want people to die,” she said. MORE.

China Cancels Christmas for Americans

Via The Epoch Times

Quick, someone call Santa. Christmas in America has been called off this year. Supply-chain disruptions in Asia mean no toys for the tots in December.

At least that’s what Vice President Kamala Harris suggested on her trip to Southeast Asia, and she is right. Shelves across America were bare earlier this year, and they will, in all probability, be bare again due to extraordinary supply-chain disruptions in China and throughout East Asia.

There is one solution that eliminates these disruptions and saves the planet. Harris did not mention it, and global elites just hate it.

“The stories that we are now hearing about the caution that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, it might now be the time to start buying them, because the delay may be many, many months,” Harris said to a roundtable of business leaders in Singapore on Aug. 23. “So across the board, people are experiencing the issue.”

Why will American children be disappointed during the holidays?

“Of course, the climate crisis is fueling a lot of this,” she proclaimed. “When we look at the stronger typhoons that have disrupted shipping lanes and sea-level rise, which threatens port infrastructure as an example. So these are the many issues that are causing these disruptions.”

No, madam vice president, climate change has almost nothing to do with the ongoing disruptions. There are many factors, such as the long-term shift of manufacturing to East Asia. Moreover, there are short-term problems, the transport of empty containers being one of them.

Another culprit is the Delta Variant. A new wave of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia has led to lockdowns in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. In Ho Chi Minh City, authorities ordered residents since Aug. 23 to “stay where they are.”

Across China, lockdowns have shut factories, stopped trucking, and paralyzed ports. In May, disease closed Shenzhen’s Yantian Port, the third biggest port in Asia. Officials on Aug. 11 closed the Meishan terminal of the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port. Meishan handles about a fifth of the traffic there, the world’s third-busiest container port.

The closure of Meishan is especially consequential for American consumers because shippers use Ningbo to load cargo for Long Beach. Moreover, the closure could not have come at a worse moment. August is the peak shipping time for the day after Thanksgiving, better known in American retailing circles—and around kitchen tables across the United States—as Black Friday.

As a result of a multitude of factors, freight rates have skyrocketed. The cost of hauling containers across the Pacific Ocean, for example, has increased by more than 500 percent during the past year. Spot rates—rates reflecting current pricing—on China–U.S. East Coast routes were $20,804 the first week of August. They were under $11,000 on July 27.

“These factors have turned global container shipping into a highly disrupted, under-supplied seller’s market, in which shipping companies can charge four to 10 times the normal price to move cargoes,” said Philip Damas of maritime consulting firm Drewry, referring to typhoons and COVID rules. “We have not seen this in shipping for more than 30 years.” MORE.

Robocop Is Here: Singapore Deploys Robots To Detect “Undesirable Behavior” Including Groups Of “More Than Five People”

Via Zero Hedge

Slowly but surely, the world is transforming into a 1984-Robocop-Terminator-Minority Report–Judge Dredd fusion dystopia.

And while we wait for Elon Musk’s dancing humanoid robot (wonder how much the deposit on that particular pipe dream will be), Singapore is wasting no time, and according to Mothership the small Asian nation is deploying ground robots on trial to patrol and survey a public area with high foot traffic, in a joint project involving five of the country’s public agencies: HTX (Home Team Science and Technology Agency), National Environment Agency, Land Transport Authority, Singapore Food Agency, and Housing & Development Board.

According to a media release, an HTX robot will be deployed for a three-week period from Sep. 5 to patrol Toa Payoh Central, a planning area and matured residential town located in the northern part of the Central Region of Singapore

The robot(s), called Xavier, will weave its way autonomously through the crowds to detect “undesirable social behaviors” including:

• Congregation of more than five people (in line with prevailing Safe Management Measures)
• Smoking in prohibited areas
• Illegal hawking
• Improperly parked bicycles within HDB Hub
• Motorized active mobility devices and motorcycles on footpaths

Upon detecting any of these terrifying activities, the robot will trigger real-time alerts to the command and control center, and display the appropriate message (depending on the scenario) to educate the public and “deter” such behaviors. The deployment of the ground robot is intended to support the work of public officers and reduce the manpower required for foot patrols.

In other words, Robocop has officially arrived, and while it will be unarmed for now, we suspect it is only a matter of time before these robotic Judge Dredds will also be capable of using lethal force against such ‘terrorist’ activity as smoking or throwing away gum in a public space. MORE.

Joe Rogan Criticized As ‘Anti-Science’ For Surviving COVID

Via The Babylon Bee

U.S.—Progressives have expressed their anger across the country as another person, Joe Rogan, recovered from COVID and did not die, harming their preferred narrative about the deadliness of the virus and what kind of treatments should be used. He has been called “anti-science” and “a purveyor of misinformation” for not dropping dead.

Despite not agreeing 100% with everything the left believes about the pandemic, lockdowns, vaccines, mandates, and masks, Rogan survived and is reportedly feeling great, doing incredible damage to all the progress we have made getting people to believe the science. “It’s straight-up anti-science is what it is,” said Huxley Burnsides of Portland, Oregon. “We should outlaw people surviving from COVID, especially those who disagree with me.” At publishing time, the author of this article was praying he does not regress and die because that’d be really embarrassing and also people dying is bad.
