50 YEARS AGO: THIS IS WORTH YOUR TIME! Bishop Sheen saw it coming and now we are living it [24:53] – Louis Antoine Léon de Saint-Just (1767–1794) was a Jacobin leader during the French Revolution who achieved a lasting reputation as the face of the Reign of Terror. He publicly delivered the condemnatory reports that emanated from Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety and defended the use of violence against opponents of the government. He supervised the arrests of some of the most famous figures of the Revolution and saw many of them off to the guillotine. For his unyielding severity, later writers dubbed him the “Angel of Death“.

2A: I saw this comment on FB – “Criminals carry their guns, obtained illegally, without permit. It is just fitting that legally obtained guns are also carried without a permit.”

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING: Haidilao Hot Pot restaurants are owned by a Chinese company. The one in Vancouver has confirmed that the home corporation had them install more than 60 surveillance cameras. The restaurant has only 30 tables. Two cameras spy on each table. The manager says they are there to monitor both staff and patrons and that the video is sent back to China for some reason that’s a secret.

CHAUVIN: I haven’t been covering the trial, because (a) we already knew all the above and (b) the outcome will either be a fear- and politics-driven guilty or a riot-inciting not guilty.

ECONOMICS: Southern California Democrats “heroically” make life harder for constituents. After Long Beach City Council passed a local ordinance requiring “hero pay” (+$4/hr) for workers who were employed at pharmacies and retail stores with 300 or more employees, two grocery stores closed. After Los Angeles mandated +$5/hr “hero pay”, three grocery stores closed.

ELECTION INTEGRITY: In December of 2015, Kamran Bajwa met with John Podesta, offering “whatever I can” to help Clinton defeat Donald Trump.

One of the emails Bajwa wrote to Podesta said, “It was a pleasure to meet this past Th in NY. As discussed, I want to do whatever I can by way of sharing ideas, raising funds, recruiting campaign volunteers, and anything else that can help with your campaign. I hope my small efforts to introduce you to a growing group of professionals like myself will be able to boost your important work for Secretary Clinton’s campaign.”

At the time, Podesta was chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. Bajwa is a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, an advisor to Dominion Voting.

In October 2014, our government banned the use of federal funds to weaponize three viruses—influenza, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), Dr. Fauci used federal funds to continue this research at a lab in Wuhan, China, which is believed to be the source of the SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.

CLICK https://twitter.com/billmaher/status/1383296276020617224 [7:28] to hear a Bill Maher rant, “I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions.” IMO, his snarky comments about Trump and right-wingers showed his own left-wing ignorance. But he said a LOT of other stuff that was refreshingly not knee-jerk leftist stupid.

INSTAGRAM: Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon posted the above and now Instagram is threatening to bounce him for posting “harmful false information” and “hate speech or symbols.”

LIBERALS ARE STUPID: The graph is from a national survey, commissioned by Skeptic Mag, that asked respondents: “If you had to guess, how many unarmed Black men were killed by police in 2019?”

The blue bars on the graph above show the correct response. Track it across the political spectrum from “Very Liberal” on the far left to “Very Conservative” on the far right.

When asked further for an estimation of what percentage of people killed in 2019 by police officers were Black, the “Very Liberal” guess more than 60%, the “Liberal” guessed 56%. The actual number is 23.4%.

MAXINE: Aren’t we glad that Donald Trump isn’t inciting his deplorable cult followers to violence any more?

Republicans are talking about censuring Maxine, but Speaker Pelosi said Waters does not need to apologize. According to Nancy, Waters was not inciting violence, but merely talking about “confrontation in the manner of the Civil Rights movement.”

Funny how that works, isn’t it? Trump tells his supporters to march peacefully and he’s supposedly responsible for inciting a riot. Waters says if Chauvin get off, protesters need to stay in the street, get more active, more confrontational and “make sure they know we mean business” but that’s just a call to peaceful protest.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: Don’t CLICK https://www.facebook.com/newsbusters/videos/484587579402785 [2:11] lest you subject yourself to a sickening montage of the coverage Slimers have given FAUXTUS. A new MRC survey shows that the media have given Joe Biden 59% positive coverage, compared to 89% negative coverage of Donald Trump.

VIKTOR FRANKL: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/brightvibes/videos/1446697649004708 [4:33] to hear a lecture by Dr Viktor Frankl, recorded in 1973, that is even more relevant today. [The ET graphic has nothing to do with the talk. It’s just something I saw that made me laugh, so I grabbed a screenshot.]

YES, JESUS LOVES ME! [:41] – So cute!

GRAMMY NOTES: I made a set of microwave bowl cozies for each of our households. Marine Princess asked if I could modify the pattern to fit a pint jar. No sooner said than done! I think this’ll be a big hit on my FB crochet board. 🙂

BRIAN STELTER: Project Veritas tried, without success, to get a comment from the CNN anchor [1:26] – My favorite comments …

“I didn’t know it was possible to make more of a joke out of Brian Stelter than than he already made of himself. Nice work!”

“I love how Stelter, seemingly incapable of handling the situation himself, calls the janitor over to deal with it. As if it’s the janitor’s job. Really goes to the heart of his mentality.”

“His shirt says ‘Journalism matters. Now more than ever.’ Comedy gold.”

CORPORAT-OCRACY: A new NPR / PBS NewsHour / Marist Poll asked: “Do you support or oppose American companies using their public role, position, or events to influence political, cultural, or social change?”

Among the 1,266 American adults responding, 57% said NO; 36% said YES.

Meanwhile, Conservatives are talking about mass boycotts of brands that insist on shoving Leftiest politics into the marketplace.

COVID-19: It’s even less deadly than we thought. Previous attempts to study the fatality rate used the discredited PCR test to identify confirmed cases. This study looked for COVID-19 antibodies in the blood, thus including people who had cleared the infection naturally, without having been positively diagnosed at the time.

DIVERSITY TRAINING: Maddy Court tweeted the graphic above with “my brother is doing a diversity training at work and this is one of the slides.” It went viral.

Not the Bee’s Joel Abbott commented, “The woke live in a web of sitcom tropes and stereotypes.”

FACEBOOK: We’ve become used to Fakebook banning politically objectionable links as posts, but we also figured out we could share stuff like that via the “private message” feature.

No more. Recently, users discovered that FB had banned not just posts of a New York Post story about a Black Lives Matter co-founder’s exorbitant spending on personal homes, but also PMs containing the link.

The alleged reason was that the article identified the properties. But Insider columnist Josh Barro noted that “look what this celebrity just bought” stories are a very common form of journalism.

And journalist, Abigail Shrier, tweeted out a number of other New York Post stories which also indicated the location of people’s homes that are not banned by FB.

HUNTER: Despite a massive promotion campaign that included appearances by the author and presidential son on CNN, CBS News and ABC’s late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!“, Hunter’s book sold only 10,638 copies during it’s first week.

The Calcium Connection: The Little-Known Enzyme at the Root of Your Cellular Health by Brunde Broady, sold more copies than that.

HYPOCRISY: Progressives only care about victims who advance their political agenda. For example, 97 police officers have been killed in the line of duty so far this year. Have we heard a word about them?

But a Black kid brandishing a gun gets shot and activists suddenly have to go loot and burn down their own neighborhoods?

The New York Post reports that it is exceedingly rare for a Black man to be killed by a cop. And when it does happen, there is almost always a back story about the victim brandishing a gun, resisting arrest, attempting to grab the officer’s weapon, etc.

IT’S A LIVING: Nancy Cartwright does her 7 Simpsons characters in under 40 seconds [:36].

LOSER: That CNN exec who spilled the beans was targeted by Project Veritas via a dating app called Tinder. His dating profile included his affiliation with CNN. The unidentified Project Veritas employee who filmed the undercover videos did so while going on a total of five dates with the guy.

MASKS: On Day 15 (+368) to slow the spread of a virus that causes a bad cold, Oregon ponders extending masks and social distancing mandates indefinitely.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: CBS News has been caught deceptively editing body camera footage showing the police chase that led to 13-year-old Adam Toledo’s death in Chicago last month. They dropped out the part that showed the kid had a gun.

Dan Bongino talks about this at the beginning of this episode of his podcast. https://bongino.com/ep-1501-what-theyre-not-telling-you-about-the-recent-police-shootings

PROJECT VERITAS: James O’Keefe announced he is suing Twitter for permanently banning him from the platform. He has yet to lose a court case against any of the many people who have defamed them.

RAAACISM: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/mic.huppenthal/videos/3018596815035538 [:32] to see the result of Satan’s Critical Race Theory and the Democrat’s RAAACISM IS EVERYWHERE agenda. Below

SEX TRAFFICKING: PayPal has announced it would no longer allow its services to be used by a group of “adult” websites that play a leading role in sex trafficking.

These sites some intoxicated or unconscious women or girls being raped, illegal video obtained by voyeurs pointing cameras into private places such as locker rooms or restrooms, and most disturbing of all, images and videos of child sexual abuse.

TRANS: Amazon just censored a THIRD book questioning the pro-trans party line. Barnes & Nobles sells all three.

VAX: [6:52] – On April 15, federal officials announced that about 5,800 fully vaccinated Americans have contracted COVID-19, nearly 400 have required treatment at hospitals, and 74 have died.

Also on April 15, Pfizer’s CEO said, “A likely scenario is that there will be likely a need for a third dose, somewhere between six and 12 months and then from there, there will be an annual revaccination.”

ALIEN DECEPTION: [:41] – On Thursday, the Pentagon confirmed the authenticity of recent viral footage showing pyramid-shaped unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that stalked the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Russell off the coast of California in July 2019.

I highly HIGHLY recommend the “Alien Intrusion” book and/or DVD. I have them both. They make a compelling argument that ETs are demonic in origin. They cover UFO sightings over time and in every country, impossible things seen on radar and attested to by highly trained observers, what really happened at Roswell, the truth behind alien abductions, and the heresy underlying alien messages.

Personally, I think it is likely that Satan is grooming us for Revelation 16:13,14.

“Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.”

BORDER: On March 24, FAUXTUS put VFAUTUS in charge of handling the flood of illegals surging across our southern border. To date, she has neither visited the border nor given a presser on the subject.

CNN: Project Veritas’ “CNN is a Democrat propaganda machine” undercover video includes a section in the network’s technical director talks about how “fear really drives numbers” and “is the thing that keeps you tuned in.”

“COVID? Gangbusters with ratings, right? Which is why we [CNN] constantly have the [COVID] death toll on the side, which I have a major problem with, with how we’re tallying how many people die every day.” – Charlie Chester

Sometimes, Chester said, he would be told by his director to pull the death count down only for the head of the network to intervene and tell them to put it back up.

COLLEGE LOANS: The government got involved in home mortgages, the price of houses and, the number of people defaulting sky rocketed, and the government stepped in to “fix” the problem it caused.

The government got involved in student loans, the cost of college and the number of students defaulting sky rocketed, and now the government wants to step in and “fix” the problem it caused.

A survey done in 2019 found that 68 members of Congress have outstanding student loans for themselves of their dependent, with an average debt burden of $37,000. Eight of these members had more than $100,000 in student debt!

How the hell is it fair for them to be voting on making other people pay off their own debts?!

COLLEGE STANDARDS: A British university is telling professors not to impose “correct English” on students as part of the government’s wider aim to “decolonize” curriculum and “reduce the gap between the proportion of white and black students gaining good degrees.”

Well, this depends very much on what you mean by a “good” degree. I’m thinking the grajoowets from this collidge will betray there orijinz wen thay rite thayr rezumays.

MONTY PYTHON: 2019 video [3:48] – “I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people[.] We’re sorry for any distress we may have caused,” tweeted John Cleese recently.

My Medieval History professor was a huge fan of Monty Python, which aired the night before one of our regular classes. He’d start out by saying something that made no sense if you hadn’t seen the show, then watch to see who laughed. LOL

MORE BRITISH HUMOR: CLICK the link to read what a Brit Wit tweeted about each of our 50 states and what, to the best of his knowledge, each is famous for.

RACE: That ridiculous headline is real. (See URL below.) – The Left’s race card has been used and over-used for so long that it wouldn’t even show up inside a pocket of the Emperor’s new clothes.

I can’t wait to see what Cleese has to say about a recent city council meeting in the town of Brighton and Hove in the UK. During said meeting, a representative of Extinction Rebellion submitted a petition demanding the schools stop serving dairy products, because they’re racist.

SEXUAL EXPLOITATION: Dawn Hawkins, CEO of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, hailed Mastercard’s new rules requiring banks ensure pornographic websites are documenting and identifying all persons depicted in adult content as well as those who upload the content.

“Mastercard is setting a standard for the entire payment processing industry to curtail weaknesses criminal networks have to date used with impunity,” Hawkins said. “Visa and Discover must follow this example.”

VAX: More than a dozen European Union nations have suspended usage of the AstraZeneca shot amid reports of blood clots. Denmark has stopped using the brand for good.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and EU’s European Medicines Agency (EMA) have said the benefits of using the AstraZeneca shot outweigh the negatives.

Riiiight … cuz it makes so much sense to risk having a stroke to get a maybe-not-effective shot to possible spare you from catching a treatable and rarely fatal disease.

Fact Check informs me that Fauci didn’t actually say the words that are inside the quotation marks. Yup. That really makes ALL the difference. NOT.

GRAMMY NOTES: [3:20] – I asked Mama Buzz for an intro to Warhammer. I have no experience with this kind of game, so found the video above most helpful. Lots more at the link below.

CAPITOL ASSAULT: The New York Times has finally confirmed what many political observers had been saying all along about the Capitol riots: It was pre-planned, the Capitol Police knew it was coming, and authorities effectively gave a ‘stand down’ order.

COSMO: I am relieved to know that I don’t get a pass just because I’m female. I intend to OWN my whiteness, because God gave it to me!

DEFUND: And when crime skyrockets, the citizens will demand safety, which will usher in state, then federal, then One World troops. That’s their end game.

DOOM GOBLIN: The BBC commissioned three one-hour-long episodes for a series called Greta Thunberg: A Year to Change The World. They even gave it a prime-time 9 pm slot on BBC’s flagship channel, BBC1. The show tanked, losing 55% of the audience from the previous hour. That’s a lot of people who turned off the tube or changed the channel to avoid watching the grumpy high school drop out preach her one-sided doctrine of doom.

DRESS REHEARSAL: 100 years ago, Satan held a dress rehearsal.

LOANS: It’s also unfair for college educated taxpayers who paid off their loans … which kinda leaves deadbeat former students paying off their own damn loans!

MARRIAGE: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/MattWalshBlog/videos/952010322007388 [4:38] to hear Michael Knowles report on a New Yorker who wants to marry his/her own child is suing to overturn laws barring the incestuous practice, calling it a matter of “individual autonomy.” SCOTUS used the “individual autonomy” argument to legalize same sex marriage.

MARXISM: CLICK https://twitter.com/VanLathan/status/1382874774695600129 [1:16] to learn how it’s A-OK for BLM co-founder and self-proclaimed Marxist Patrisse Cullors to spend millions of dollars on four houses. Spoiler: She’s not being a flaming hypocrite; she’s taking care of her family “like Black folks do.”

Best tweet responses: “Please everyone, donate to BLM so Patrisse can have swimming pools put in the backayards of her new homes; her family needs them.”

“Joel Osteen couldn’t have said it better.”

“I want to vomit.”

GRAMMY NOTES: [14:13] – I used to do miniatures in a big way. My first project was a Buttercup Cottage kit (one room up, one room down) that Dearest designed and built a greenhouse addition for. We won Honorable Mention in a national contest with it! But, eventually, I ran out of room to display any more houses or room boxes, so I moved on to quilting and jewelry-making. Lately, I’m really into crochet.

Point being … Mama Buzz vicariously enjoyed my hobby for the years it lasted. But now the miniature table is turned and she’s the one building miniatures, while I’m the one vicariously enjoying her hobby. The difference is that my hubby is an architect, so the building of buildings was fascinating to him. Papa Buzz is a gamer. If I remember correctly, he’s really into World of Warcraft Warhammer. He was doing it on-line a lot, then he got her to play with him from a second computer. Then, somebody realized they could switch to table top play AND build all the cool miniatures themselves TOGETHER.

They are having a BALL. Very marriage building! And I am getting such enthusiastic, fun emails and texts from Mama Buzz about miniature topics I can totally relate to. Since I’m not doing miniatures any more, when Dearest went to visit the Buzzers for Easter, he took along all my old landscaping stuff. She followed up with the video above. This guy is fun to watch. One of the commenters said, “I could watch you fill out your tax return.” LOL It’s true. I was sitting here eating breakfast and giggling … thought I’d share.

CAPITALISM: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/WhyMinutes/videos/1588435111357049 to hear Why “Screw You” is critical to Capitalism [3:31] – I’ve heard that people who have a bad experience will tell ten people on average, while people who have a good experience will tell one person on average.

CLIMATE: A number of major news organizations worldwide, ranging from Scientific American and The Columbia Journalism Review to The Guardian and Al Jazeera, have signed a pledge to begin referring to “climate change” as a “climate emergency” in their reporting.

CNN: CLICK https://rumble.com/vfnuc5-real-america-dan-getreal-cnn-cashes-in-on-fear.html [5:46] to hear Real America Dan talk about Project Veritas’ latest video releases, which are posted at the links below.

CONSTITUTION: Isn’t it odd (as in twisted and evil, not as in funny haha) how the people who can find a right to kill unborn American citizens in the “penumbra” (a shadowy area in which something exists to a lesser or uncertain degree) of the Constitution can’t find a right to bear arms anywhere at all?

CRITICAL RACE THEORY: This is what it looks like in practice – “My school, like so many others, induces students via shame and sophistry to identify primarily with their race before their individual identities are fully formed. Students are pressured to conform their opinions to those broadly associated with their race and gender and to minimize or dismiss individual experiences that don’t match those assumptions. The morally compromised status of ‘oppressor’ is assigned to one group of students based on their immutable characteristics. In the meantime, dependency, resentment and moral superiority are cultivated in students considered ‘oppressed.’ …

“A recent faculty email chain received enthusiastic support for recommending that we ‘”officially” flag students’ who appear ‘resistant’ to the ‘culture we are trying to establish.’ When I questioned what form this resistance takes, examples presented by a colleague included ‘persisting with a colorblind ideology,’ ‘suggesting that we treat everyone with respect,’ ‘a belief in meritocracy,’ and ‘just silence.’”

Read the rest at the link. At one point, the author asks, “Imagine being a young person in this environment.” I already had done so as I was reading. I was an extremely sensitive, fragile kid with undiagnosed mental and physical health problems that resulted in my being seriously suicidal by high school. My home was an emotionally toxic environment where I was constantly shamed for existing at all. School was my salvation. If I had been forced to shame myself and my peers for being white … I don’t know how I would have survived. Literally.

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=118306760247972 [4:50] to hear a newly released video shows a California public high school teacher screaming at one of her students for his white privilege. I really have to question why she’s never talked to her physician about the way he treats her. I question my doctor all the time!

JOHN-HENRY WESTEN: CLICK https://rumble.com/vfn555-harvard-trained-md-globalists-are-using-covid-19-to-crush-the-spirit-of-man.html [1:11:32] to hear Dr. Peter Breggin explains that what’s going on with COVID-19 is similar to what took place in Germany in the 1930s and in America during the 1770s.

MASK MANDATES: CLICK https://rumble.com/vavl69-seven-mothers-forcibly-removed-from-public-property-by-deland-police.html [9:17] to see seven women who were forcibly removed from public property by Deland Police for refusing to wear masks in a public place. In FLORIDA, where the governor has said “no mask mandates” and where the city also told them they did not have to wear a mask.

One woman was in the middle of breastfeeding her child. When she tried to hand her child over to another woman, the police gave that mother a hard time as well. “Please don’t put your hands on me,” she said as she tried to help the breastfeeding mother. Starting to cry, she asked the officers, “Why are you doing this? What is wrong with you?”

The police said the women were not removed for refusing to mask, but for trespassing. How can a citizen be “trespassing” at a public school board meeting being held in a public building?!

MATT GAETZ: CLICK https://twitter.com/mattgaetz/status/1382063523786809350 [:59] to hear a clip from the Project Veritas undercover video of CNN technical director Charlie Chester. In this bit, he admits that the network has been running negative stories about Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), not because they are true, but because “it would be great for the Democratic Party to get him out.”

MIRACLES: Several miracles have been attributed to the intercession of the 21 Coptic Christians who were beheaded by ISIS for refusing to renounce Jesus Christ. The Coptic Church has canonized them.

NEBRASKA: Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts signed a proclamation that designates his state as a “Second Amendment Sanctuary State,” reaffirming the state’s support for gun rights.

SCOTUS: Democrats in Congress introduced legislation Thursday aiming to expand the size of the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices. The extra four would, of course, be nominated by FAUXTUS and confirmed by the Democrat majority in the Senate.

With a packed court and an election law that ensures they never lose their majority again, America the Beautiful is doomed.

ABORTION: The FDA requires the abortion drug mifepristone only be provided by a medical professional after the woman has an in-person check-up. The drug has been linked to thousands of serious complications, including two dozen deaths.

Nevertheless, the greedy, Democrat-donating, “we care about women” abortion industry wants to sell it through the mail. In response to demands by their demands, the FAUXTUS administration has decided to allow it.

PHOTO: Abortion pill reversal (APR) should be started within 24 hours of taking mifepristone, but successful reversals have occurred when treatment was started up to 72 hours after the first abortion pill was taken.

BORDER: On Thursday, when Rep. Nicole Malliotakis [R-NY-11] got back from visiting our southern border, she reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) want FAUXTUS to re-instate former President Trump’s border policies.

“They said that this was a preventable crisis, the policies that were put in place by President Trump were working.”

Meanwhile, FAUXTUS is spending tens of millions of dollars to house illegal family groups in hotels, rather than place them in the Karnes County Family Residential Center, which is an 80% empty, multi-million dollar facility specifically intended for the purpose.

CANCELED: After Daunte Wright was shot by a police officer, the mayor of Brooklyn Center said she should be fired immediately.

City Manager Curt Boganey said he wouldn’t fire her until she had received due process. “All employees working for the city of Brooklyn Center are entitled to due process with respect to discipline. This employee will receive due process and that’s really all that I can say today.”

Hours later, Bogany was fired. Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson said she voted to fire Boganey out of fear of potential reprisals from protesters if she stuck up for him.

“He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly,” Lawrence-Anderson said. “I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level.”

That’s how the bullies win, Kris.

COMMIES: On Tuesday, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian warned warned FAUXTUS to keep his nose out of their righteous assaults on small, neighboring nations they covet, like Ukraine and Taiwan.

CONTROL: Apparently, it isn’t guns that we need to be protected from using.

DESANTIS: On Monday, Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized YouTube for removing a video of doctors talking about coronavirus policies. He said what a lot of us have been complaining about, namely that Google and YouTube have “not been, throughout this pandemic, repositories of truth and scientific enquiry, but instead have acted [as] enforcers of a narrative.” He called tech corporations a “big tech council of censors in service of the ruling elite.”

DOWN SYNDROME: In 2017, Ohio passed a law banning abortions on unborn babies for reasons of sex, gender, or Down Syndrome. A judge with close ties to Planned Parenthood slapped an injunction on the law. But on Tuesday, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals over-turned the injunction, allowing Ohio to enforce the pro-life law.

FOOT LOCKER: BLM and their ilk are not about fixing anything; they’re about destroying everything. And appeasing bullies never works.

HYPOCRISY: Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines have both criticized Georgia’s new voting law as oppressive and discriminatory. While both of these mega-corporations are headquartered in Georgia, they are legally incorporated in Delaware where the voting regulations are stricter than Georgia’s.

NOKO: Authorities in North Korea are warning residents to prepare for economic difficulties as bad as the 1994-1998 famine which killed millions. Meanwhile, Little Rocketman just gets fatter and fatter.

PANTS ON FIRE: “There were so many lies in Vice President Kamala Harris’ and President Joe Biden’s presentations on guns Thursday that it is hard to know where to start. One thing is certain, though: The media fact-checkers won’t question their claims. Here are just a few of the false ones: … “

One point that wasn’t made involved: “Biden said that gunmakers are ‘exempt from being sued. … This is the only outfit that is exempt from being sued.’” In fact, COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers are exempt from being sued.

RESUSCITATION = RAPE: Cuz dead is better than bruised ribs?

TEXAS: Shut downs don’t work … unless your intention is to kill people and destroy small businesses, then by golly, they work great!

TRAFFIC STOP: December 2020 [5:25] – U.S. Army Lt. Caron Nazario told Windsor City Police (Virginia) he was “honestly afraid to get out” of his vehicle in videos of the incident showing officers with their guns drawn during the traffic stop.

“Keep your hands out of the window” AND “Get out of the car” … his seat belt is engaged. How the heck can he comply?!

I’m grateful that the videos exist, cuz this was seriously messed up. Thankfully, the primary police officer was fired and his partner was disciplined. And Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston credited Nazario with remaining calm and professional during the tense situation. “He represented himself and our Army well through his calm, professional response to the situation – I’m very proud of him.”

Lt. Nazario’s attorney says his client was afraid he would have suffered greater harm if he had lowered his hands out of plain view. “To unbuckle his seatbelt, to do anything, any misstep — he was afraid that they were going to kill him,” Arthur said.

I’d hazard a guess that Lt. Nazario is better educated that that fool with the pepper spray. (You have to have a college degree before you can become an officer in the military.)

WOKE: The article linked below is funny. Read and savor it in its entirety.

BOOTY-JUDGE: On April 4, FAUXTUS’ Transportation Moron said, “The American Jobs Plan is … going to create 19 million jobs.”

On April 11, he admitted he “overstated the figure.” No kidding. The report he was quoting actually says “the economy will add 16.3 million jobs without the infrastructure bill and 2.7 million more with it.”

It also says that The American Jobs Plan will add NO additional jobs in 2021 and that it’s contribution would not be felt significantly until 2024 and 2025, when it might add that 2.7 million that TransSec Buttigieg inflated to 19 million.

BORDER: AOC is remarkably quiet about conditions in border detention facilities. Wonder why that is (not really).

Coffin discusses how the Francis papacy has been marked by “weaponized ambiguity” and that Francis is not the Antichrist, but is helping pave the way for him. They also talk about the Left’s lies re: COVID-19 and the lack of courage among Catholic leaders.

CORPORAT-OCRACY: Over 100 executives of major corporations held an online meeting Saturday to plan ways to thwart election integrity laws being considered in many states.

The Washington Post, which would’ve screamed bloody murder if these CEOs had been conservative Republicans, described the meeting in positive terms.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-MO, called it “oligarchy defined.”

Personally, I think they’re part of the mega-rich elites who have decided to take over the world and institute global feudalism … with them at the top with all the resources and all the power and the rest of us begging for scraps from their big table.

COVID-19: [:19] – I admire this woman for cleaning up after her pooch even when she appears to have forgotten her poopy bag. But nobody who is walking alone, outside, in the sun needs a MASK.

CRENSHAW: Prayers please for Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-TX, who is having surgery on his left eye to address his detaching retina. This will leave him “effectively blind” for a month, because he lost his right eye to an explosive device while fighting in Afghanistan.

“The blast from 2012 caused a cataract, excessive tissue damage, and extensive damage to my retina. It was always a possibility that the effects of the damage to my retina would resurface, and it appears that is exactly what has happened.”

FAUCI: On Sunday, the only medical “expert” the Left wants us to hear from said, “If you’re not vaccinated, please get vaccinated as soon as vaccine becomes available to you, and if you are vaccinated, please remember that … until we show definitively that a person who’s vaccinated does not … spread to others, you should also continue to wear a mask.”

Translation: You should absolutely subject yourself to this experimental gene therapy even though we have no idea if it is safe or effective. (Also, pay no attention to the FACT that states that opened up have markedly lower infection rates than states that are still locked down.)

JUST SAY NO: Iowa and South Carolina have both told the federal government NOT to dump unaccompanied minor illegals on them.

MUSHROOMS: Three unused subterranean spaces (e.g., unused parking garage) have been repurposed by a French company to grow organic produce that thrives in the damp, dark spaces. Kinda gives new meaning to the phrase “locally grown” LOL.

NEWSPEAK: A while ago, I posted a tweet in which Senator Gillibrand defined “infrastructure” as several things that are not roads, bridges, buildings, etc. In the graphic, we see FAUXTUS doing the same.

And his Energy Secretary confirmed that, in order to justify packing their infrastructure bill with PORK, Democrats will not be using “past definitions of infrastructure.”

They’re also going to continue referring to it as a “bipartisan” effort, not because they have any Republican support in Congress, but because there are probably Republicans out there somewhere who support their out-of-control spending.

CNN: Oy vey. CLICK https://twitter.com/mrctv/status/1380573220613595145 [1:37] to hear Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) liken a few hundred unarmed people entering the Capitol Building on January 6th with the persecution of the Hebrew slaves in Egypt 3,500 years ago and the day 353 Japanese aircraft attacked Pearl Harbor, damaging or sinking many of our planes and ships, wounding 1,140 Americans and killing more than 2,300.

“January 6 is a day like that. It’s a day that should be remembered in America because our democracy was at stake.“

N.b., the former occurred nearly 3,500 years ago, not 200 or 2,000 years ago as Rep. Cohen says. For a Jew to get something so basic wrong does beg the question of why we should listen to his opinion about anything historical.

GENDER: Remember this? “You know, I’ve told my daughters, granddaughters from the time they got old enough to understand what I was saying — and I mean it: There’s not a single thing a man can do that a woman can’t do as well or better. Not a single thing.” – FAUXTUS

Besides never cleaning her quarters, she also “frequently did not flush her toilet after using it, which caused the cell to smell.” I can see her maybe waiting for a maid to clean, but not flush? Those toilets are in the cells, right next to the beds. Ewwwww. Maybe the demons that she invited into her heart and soul enjoy the smell of poo in the morning.

Mercy is the love we don’t deserve

Join Fr. Mike Schmitz as he celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday Mass at the University of Minnesota – Duluth. [47:03]

The homily (begins at 8:45) on mercy is outstanding. I highly recommend it to all of you. The story he tells about Rudolph Höss, the Commandant of Auschwitz, is stunning.

I looked Höss up on Wikipedia. The article confirms Fr. Mike’s story about his last days. But the article also includes these paragraphs, which I think are particularly pertinent to us today.

In a farewell letter to his wife, Höss wrote on 11 April:

Based on my present knowledge I can see today clearly, severely and bitterly for me, that the entire ideology about the world in which I believed so firmly and unswervingly was based on completely wrong premises and had to absolutely collapse one day. And so my actions in the service of this ideology were completely wrong, even though I faithfully believed the idea was correct. Now it was very logical that strong doubts grew within me, and whether my turning away from my belief in God was based on completely wrong premises. It was a hard struggle. But I have again found my faith in my God.

The same day in a farewell letter to his children, Höss told his eldest son:

Keep your good heart. Become a person who lets himself be guided primarily by warmth and humanity. Learn to think and judge for yourself, responsibly. Don’t accept everything without criticism and as absolutely true… The biggest mistake of my life was that I believed everything faithfully which came from the top, and I didn’t dare to have the least bit of doubt about the truth of that which was presented to me. … In all your undertakings, don’t just let your mind speak, but listen above all to the voice in your heart.

Bits & Bytes

BIG TECH CENSORSHIP: YouTube pulled a video of Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-FL, speaking with medical experts who suggested that children should not be mandated to wear masks.

In the video, Stanford professor Dr. Scott Atlas said: “I think that the masks in schools, there’s no scientific rationale or logic to have children wear masks in schools.”

YouTube said it removed the video because it “contradicts the consensus of local and global health authorities.”

BLM: The co-founder of the Black Lives Matter social “justice” movement just bought a lovely new home (with a guest house) in L.A.’s rustic and semi-remote Topanga Canyon, about 15 minutes from Malibu. Public records show it sold for a tad more than $1.4 million.

“It seems to me that the American Dream is actually so real and so exceptional that even those who make money off their disdain for her can get rich! It’s too bad for all those black businesses BLM burned down last summer though…” – Joel Abbott

COVID-19: Progs are having trouble explaining away why some of their states (the ones that have kept strict stay-at-home rules in place) are now seeing surges in COVID-19 cases, while many Republicans states (the ones that rushed to reopen) are experiencing sizable drops.

Planet Moron at Not The Bee says, “As anyone with a cognitive ability north that of patio furniture could have told you, shutting people up inside where the virus spreads quickly and easily is a ‘bad’ idea whereas permitting people to move about as is their right, is a ‘good’ idea, particularly for the people least vulnerable to the virus. Anyone paying attention already knew this.”

Michigan’s Governor Whitmer did not and does not know this. Her state, which has had the most draconian lockdowns, is having a huge surge in cases. Despite the fact that individuals under the age of 50 account for only 3% of all COVID-19 deaths, Queen Jackboot wants to suspend in-person high school classes, all youth sports and indoor restaurant dining. So more people can stay at home … where the disease is spread most effectively.

MASK NAZIS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/319235582958327 [4:16] to see Tucker interview a coach who has been fired to refusing to implement an insane mask policy.

MICHIGAN: We have been told over and over that outside interference of voting machines was impossible, because the machines had no access to the internet.

On Friday, Michigan Constitutional Attorney Matthew Deperno released his much anticipated Michigan Elections Forensics Report detailing how they found modem chips on the voting machines.

The report also details how they found 66,194 ballots cast in just 9 counties by people who were not registered to vote.

But this was “the most secure election in history!” So shut up.

MORONS: Upon taking office, FAUXTUS immediately overturned all of President Trump’s successful efforts to convince people not to migrate here illegally.

The ensuing FLOOD of illegals (many reportedly wearing BIDEN t-shirts) has caused the worst immigration crisis seen in 20 years.

On Friday, Reuters reported the FAUX fools in the White House are actually considering sending cash payments to residents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, in a bid to prevent them from making the trek north as the idiots who caused it struggle to cope with it.

Roberta Jacobson, the White House’s southern border coordinator, said, “We’re looking at all of the productive options to address both the economic reasons people may be migrating, as well as the protection and security reasons.”

I’m guessing that NONE of the “productive options”include re-instating anything Donald Trump did that worked. Because that would make too much sense.

NEW MEXICO: On Thursday, Gov. Michelle Grisham [D] signed her second profoundly anti-life law, this time legalize assisted suicide in the state. Barely two months ago, she also signed a pro-abortion law that will keep abortions up to birth legal for years to come and could force doctors and nurses to help abort unborn babies.

RAAACISM: The progs are really working the “public health crisis” angle hard. Earlier this week, they declared that gun were a public health threat. Now it’s racism.

The Nazis used the same angle. First they had a big public health campaign in which they pushed the public health threat of vermin, like cockroaches, and recommending the use of poisons to eliminate them. Then, they began to refer to Jews as vermin and cockroaches.

The Nazi propaganda paper, Der Sturmer, ran contests encouraging German children to write in. One little girl wrote, “People are so bothered by the way we’re treating the Jews. They can’t understand it, because [Jews] are God’s creatures. But cockroaches are also God’s creatures, and we destroy them.“

Zyklon B, the gas used to exterminate Jews in Nazi camps, was a variant on a pesticide used to fumigate silos, goods wagons, ships, and mills.

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: For the fifth time, the Supreme Court has rejected the Ninth Circuit’s analysis of California’s COVID restrictions on religious exercise. The latest ruling went 5-4 against a California COVID restriction on in-home religious gatherings.

Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices’ dissent against the ruling, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett in the majority.

STUDENT LOANS: One of the radical Left’s stupid plans is to forgive college loans. But I don’t think we should deprive them of the educational opportunity to repay or suffer the consequences.

CLICK https://www.facebook.com/WhyMinutes/posts/784545095778729 [3:08] to see a Why Minute about this subject. It makes some very good points.

In addition, many commenters on the video asked pertinent questions. For example, can those who didn’t go to college get a big chunk of change to use toward advancing their economic and social status? Can those college grads who saved, worked, got scholarships, went to war, and/or took out loans they paid off get lump sums to apply to our mortgages, car loans, etc.? Can those veterans who didn’t use their entire, rightful GI bill education benefits get the balance due as a lump sum?

UK: Early Friday, Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth, passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle, the family’s residence in Berkshire, England. He was 99. The queen is 94.

WYOMING: On Monday, Gov. Mark Gordon [R] has signed a bill requiring residents to present photo ID before voting at a polling place or obtaining an absentee ballot. The bill allows as valid proof driver licenses, U.S. passports, tribal identification, university identification, U.S military identification and Medicare or Medicaid insurance cards.

This is the second state I’ve seen do this since Georgia, with no RAAACISM outcry from the loony left. Does anyone know why Georgia is different?
