Will Anyone Grieve For These Children?

Leave a comment

This just happened this morning in Baltimore MD. Apparently a gas leak caused an explosion that leveled five houses. The reporting is that people, including children are trapped in the rubble.

If someone wants to pour money into a fight against disparity, how about this idea? Instead of giving BILLIONS of dollars to the Marxist god Blim, how about funding a program to inspect AND correct hazardous living conditions in poor neighborhoods? You rarely hear of a gas explosion in the wealthy suburbs. How about using some of Blim’s money to put in gas leak detectors in these row houses? For that matter install fire and carbon monoxide detectors as well. They can all be tied together into either a new or existing wireless “Internet of Things”, IoT, network. Emergency and repair crews can be dispatched to remedy problems before there is such widespread damage and loss of life.

But it’s easier for Nike et al to write a check to Blim than to actually do something that will help others.

What Is The Cost?

Leave a comment

This morning as I was preparing breakfast, I was thinking about changes that have happened because of the Chinese virus.

More and more foods are packaged in plastic and foam plastic to protect us from the virus. My bagels which I used to buy in bulk and place in a paper bag are now individually packaged in plastic bags with a twist tie. Before the virus, I put my bagels in a reusable container and recycled the paper bag. Now because the thin plastic bags used to “protect” my bagels are not recyclable, they just go into the landfill. Plastic bags are made from those “evil fossil fuels” that the Climate Nazis want to ban. What is the “carbon footprint” of using more and more non-recyclable bags?

The same problem arises at the grocery store checkout. Earlier in the pandemic it was illegal to bring in your own reusable shopping bags because of FEAR of spreading the virus.  Now if you bring in your own bags no one in the store is allowed to touch them and you must bag everything on your own. I don’t mind doing that but when I have a lot of groceries it can slow the checkout down as the workers aren’t allowed by law to help. I noticed that almost no one brings their own bags into the store and more of those evil non-recyclable bags are used.  Again, what is the “carbon footprint”?

At a restaurant no sit down dining is allowed, at least in this “woke” state of Kalifonia. Take out is the only way to get restaurant food. And what is that food packaged in? Styrofoam containers  which are about the most environmentally unfriendly of plastics and non-recyclable plastic bags,. Styrofoam is not allowed into the recycle stream here in the most “woke” of states. At a small restaurant I patronize the owner has stacks of cases of Styrofoam containers as all of his orders are now takeout only.  Once again more and more “evil fossils fuels” converted into plastics that end up in the landfill.  You guessed it, what is the “carbon footprint”?

According to Crazy Uncle Joe Biden and his cohorts we’re all dead in less than 9 years because of the “EXISTENTIAL THREAT from the  “carbon footprint” of the United States that is causing ALL of the global warming.

Why is it I don’t hear one peep from all the Green New Dealer Climate Nazis about the how we are accelerating the destruction of the world because of pandemic fears?   Where is our savior, the learned Alexandra Occasional Cortex, in this dire time of need?  Why is she not speaking out?

Or is the more important “EXISTENTIAL” problem to cause MISERY, FEAR, and PANIC in order to get President Trump out of office?

What Are The Rules?

Leave a comment

There were two ‘interesting’ articles today online, almost back to back.

The first one was about the backlash to the movie version of “Hamilton”. The creator of the show cast BLACK actors to ‘play’ WHITE characters, to demonstrate how ‘woke’ (stupid) he is to his intended audience. Oops, turns out Hamilton at one time was a slave trader, ergo systemically racist and can never be redeemed.

The second article was about the BLACK actress Halle Berry suffering backlash because she announced that she was going to ‘play’ the role of a TRANSGENDER man. The Social Justice Warriors (SJW) condemned her online to the point she announced her new found awareness that as a heterosexual she is not allowed to  ‘play’ the role of a transgender.  Berry said, “I am grateful for the guidance and critical conversation over the past few days and I will continue to listen, educate and learn from this mistake“.

A black man can play a white man. Got it. A heterosexual cannot play a transgender. What? I’m confused.  What are the rules?

The ‘job’ of an actor WAS to portray someone they are not.  Seems kind of obvious, however with the culturally aware mob’s unwritten rules it is not obvious.

Why didn’t the offended mob condemn Charlize Theron for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute and serial killer of seven men. Shouldn’t only serial killers or at least a prostitute ‘play’ the role of a prostitute/serial killer according to SJW rules? I’m assuming here that Theron was never a prostitute, but I could be wrong.  Instead the intelligentsia awarded Theron with the Academy Award for Best Actress, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama, and the FAG Award.

And what about Sean Connery when he ‘played’ the role of a British spy (he’s Scottish), ‘playing’ the undercover role of a Japanese fisherman, in the movie “You Only Live Twice”? Or does two ‘play’ acting parts make the job a double negative, which is a positive?

Or all the SJW types just making up this BOVINE EXCREMENT OUTRAGE?

Why hasn’t the cancel culture mob run American actor Robert Downey Jr. out of town after he ‘played’ the role of an Australian WHITE MAN ‘playing’ the role of a BLACK MAN.  Once again the intelligentsia nominated Downey  for an Academy Award, BAFTA Award, Golden Globe, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Just like my previous post, THEY’RE ALL F’ING MORONS.
