Teens kicked out of elite Catholic school for ‘blackface’ awarded $1M by jury after proving it was just acne mask

Story by Isabel Keane

*** begin quote ***

Two teens kicked out of their elite California Catholic school while falsely accused of wearing blackface have been jointly awarded more than $1 million after proving it was just a green acne face mask.

The then-students at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View were just 14 when they took a photo during a sleepover in 2017 of them wearing the treatment in solidarity with a friend suffering from severe acne, their lawsuit said.

The treatment, bought by one of the boy’s moms, was light green when applied and turned dark green once dry.

*** end quote ***

Over the years, I’ve come to believe that “organized religion” is yet another useless drone in humanity’s “beehive”.  

I guess these “Catholics” forgot all the admonitions about “suffer the little children to come unto me”,  the Good Samaritan, and “Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven.”.

Particualrly — “Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

It seems like the “Liberals” in the Catholic Church were so anxious to be “good guys” that they left their consciences at the convenience of the mob.

So sad.  And, congrats to that jury to show them the errors of their ways in a form they might understand,

Shame on them.

GUNS: Why was the homeowner put in handcuffs?

 LA homeowner fatally shoots suspect during attempted burglary as horrified child, grandma watch
By Social Links for Isabel Keane
Published Dec. 4, 2023, 8:33 a.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

A Los Angeles homeowner shot and killed a suspected burglar over the weekend after a group of men wearing dark hoodies and masks broke into his home — where a child and grandmother were left rattled by the brazen attempted burglary.

Police responded to the Granada Hills home around 5 a.m. Saturday morning after receiving radio calls of shots fired inside the residence.

The homeowner told police he was inside his home when three or four unknown men wearing “dark clothing, hoodies and masks” broke in, the Los Angeles Police Department wrote on X.

“A suspect pointed a weapon at the victim and while the suspects were inside the residence, the victim produced a firearm and a shooting occurred,” the department wrote. 

*** and ***

The homeowner, who was photographed outside the residence seemingly in handcuffs, was taken to the Devonshire Community Police Station to be interviewed, though they were later released.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: How come SF “homeless” can be “cleaned up” for Xi but not for thee

Nolte: Democrats Will Clean San Francisco for Dictators but Not Voters
John Nolte — 13 Nov 2023

*** begin quote ***

It took a Chinese dictator to get the city of San Francisco, California, cleaned up after five years of deterioration.

The Democrats who run San Francisco and California finally, Finally, FINALLY cleaned up that city’s filthy streets and removed the dystopian homeless encampments. At long last, San Francisco has been beautified in a dozen ways.

Yes, after some five years of increasingly dangerous streets littered with dirty needles, feces, trash, and filthy tents, not to mention aggressive vagrants, drug dealers, the deranged and addicted, the city took action.

*** end quote ***

So I guess it’s not about “rights” or anything else than politics.

Argh!

NEWJERSEY: Where are all these new EVs going to plug in and what will it cost?

Monday, November 6, 2023

https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2023/10/24/mega-jolt_the_costs_and_logistics_of_plugging_in_evs_are_about_to_become_supercharged_987493.html?mc_cid=9b20a86fa6#/find/nearest?country=US

Mega-Jolt: The Costs and Logistics of Plugging In EVs Are About to Become Supercharged
By John Murawski, RealClearInvestigations
October 24, 2023

*** begin quote ***

To curb greenhouse gas emissions, California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and other states have outlawed the sale of new gasoline cars starting in 2035, and similar EV mandates have been adopted by nearly 60 countries. The Biden administration is spending $7.5 billion on 500,000 EV charging ports as part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to boost EV sales targets to 50% of all new vehicle purchases by 2030.

*** end quote ***

I expect that used cars are going to become the new “cars” in 2035.

We’ll probably begin to look like Cuba where cars ended in the 1950’s when the USA embargoed Castro.

Pity to poor and the renters, who won’t have access to a home charger.  And, pity the poor homeowner who needs to retrofit their electrical service.  That’s assuming that the local utility can provide such service.

BTW where is all this power generation capacity going to magically appear from.

In case you forgot, the extra taxes on gas pay for the roads.

DNF that EVs are hard on tires.

Argh!

DISCOURAGING: This is some “state of the union” summary

Sunday, June 4, 2023

 

*** begin quote ***

The Left is waging a full-fledged cultural revolution against traditional America. And the Maoist results are often as absurd as they are terrifying.

*** and ***

  • Special counsel John Durham just issued his final report on wrongdoing within the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Justice.
  • IRS just conceded whistleblowers were correct
  • California is facing a crushing $32 billion deficit.
  • The NAACP just issued a “travel alert” advising blacks not to visit Florida.
  • Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and Indianapolis—all outside Florida—have the highest black murder rates in the nation.
  • Black Lives Matter has just announced it lost millions of dollars in investments and ran up huge deficits
  • In New York, a threatening subway career criminal with 42 prior arrests was subdued by a bystander and died
  • In almost every American city and town, biological males, with enormous advantages in size and musculoskeletal mass, routinely win women’s sporting competitions.
  • Corporate America has joined this cultural revolution hysteria.
  • Los Angeles Dodgers reinvited the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” to celebrate Pride night at Dodger Stadium.
  • Catholics and Christians had objected to the invitation  —  never dare extend its street-theater blasphemy to other religious groups such as Muslims or Hindus.
  • Anheuser-Busch has nearly destroyed its best-selling Bud Light brand
  • Disney has rebranded it films, amusement parks, and television offerings to reflect radical transgender, gay, and race advocacies.
  • A woke CNN has all but destroyed its once-global audience

*** and ***

All these implosions are not just shocking but surreal. Why are our government, corporations, and popular culture colluding in mass suicide—to the delight of our enemies like communist China?

*** end quote ***

How does the USA stop this “cultural revolution”?

Refuse to buy from “woke” companies.  Challenge the Left on their perversions.  AND, not be silent about the change.

Ultimately, the USA must dissolve like the USSR,

Culture can be change in small battles.

DISCOURAGING: The roads would be a disgrace in Mogadishu.

Thursday, April 27, 2023

FROM FACEBOOK

Bill Whittle

*** begin quote ***

Crime levels are soaring. The roads would be a disgrace in Mogadishu. Drug overdoses are killing thousands. The tax base is fleeing the state in record numbers. But thank God, California has managed to address the one really critical issue plaguing the state; namely, can you own your own gas heater in Berkeley? Scott Ott goes where no man had gone before. 

Help keep speech free while you still can by becoming a Citizen Producer right here: billwhittle.com/register/

*** end quote ***

Yes, the roads are a mess and the taxes keep going up.  I saw that Arnold was filling potholes.  What happened to Dominos fixing roads?

Sigh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Surprise there is a a shortage of … … some thing the Gooferment “manages”!

California’s Water Supply Falls Victim to CRT
By Don A. Wright

*** begin quote ***

When did the board’s mandate change from a bureaucracy administering water rights to an arbitrator and avenger of perceived injustices? At exactly the same moment the people of California stopped holding their government accountable because they thought someone else would do it for them. It gets serious when your family’s food supply can be negatively impacted.

*** end quote ***

William Rusher, the editor of the conservative National Review, quoted economist Milton Friedman as saying that “if the government were to take over the Sahara Desert, there would be a shortage of sand in five years.”

Here we have a Gooferment taking over water and now there is a shortage?

Like anything else, the invisible hand of the fee market would do  much better job of allocating a scarce resource.  If folks paid for water and the price went up, the usual behavior would be conservation and alternatives.

Anyone in the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah considering desalinization?  I hear is works well in Israel.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Gooferment, two weeks;YouTube divers, 1 day

Saturday, August 27, 2022

https://nypost.com/2022/08/22/meet-the-youtuber-divers-claiming-to-have-found-kiely-rodni/

These YouTube divers did in one day what cops couldn’t do in two weeks in Kiely Rodni search
By Lee Brown
August 22, 2022 10:49am Updated

*** begin quote ***

They’re the deep-diving YouTubers who claim to have found missing California teen Kiely Rodni in less than a full day of looking — even after authorities spent nearly 20,000 man-hours failing to find her.

Adventures With Purpose started searching Prosser Creek Reservoir on Sunday — and within hours found what they believe is the 16-year-old’s 2013 Honda CRV with a body inside.

“WE JUST FOUND KIELY RODNI,” the volunteer group claimed on Facebook, ahead of local authorities confirming that the body was indeed the teen who went missing after a nearby graduation party on Aug. 6.

*** end quote ***

The various agencies of Gooferment bragged about how much effort they put into the search.  Only to “eat crow” when private citizens found her in less than a day.

I guess it all depends upon your motivation, tools, and training.

Like Uvalde, “who would build the roads” argument, but in this case it’s “who will find the bodies”!

GUNS: A shotgun may well have saved this man’s life

‘He shot my arm off!’ Robber armed with AR-15 flees California liquor store after 80-year-old owner blasts him with SHOTGUN

  • An 80-year-old business owner Craig Cope defended his store with a shotgun
  • Cope had a heart attack because of the shock, but saw off his attackers 
  • The would-be robbers approached Norco Market & Liquor in Norco, California, planning to rob the store while wearing a facial covering

This is the incredible moment a robber armed with an AR-15 fled screaming from a California liquor store after the 80-year-old owner blasted him with his shotgun.

Craig Cope opened fire after the 23-year-old armed intruder entered his shop in Norco in the early hours of Sunday.

Four suspects armed with guns were waiting outside, planning to rob the store while wearing facial coverings, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

But security camera footage shows Cope reaching for his shotgun and firing at the first robber as he burst in.

The man screamed out after being hit in the shoulder and ran from the store.

‘He shot my arm off! He shot my arm off!’ the man can be heard shouting as he runs back to a black BMW SUV.

*** end quote ***

Well, I can’t say I have any sympathy for the robbers.  The guy was lucky he wasn’t killed.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Make poor children pay for their own misery?

California Divide
California counties siphon Social Security benefits from some foster kids
by Jeanne Kuang July 22, 2022

*** begin quote ***

California counties regularly take the Social Security benefits of foster youth who are disabled or whose parents have died. Advocates say it amounts to children paying for their own foster care.

*** and ***

Tanner said Butte County, as her guardian, took her survivor benefits of about $1,200 a month until she graduated high school and was no longer eligible for them. The money likely totaled tens of thousands of dollars over her time in state custody.

*** end quote ***

Ribbing the dead and little defenseless children is what the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats do best.

This is the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah, but I bet it happens everywhere.

Vile thieves.
