Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt defends decision to close state’s PBS station OETA over ‘indoctrination and over-sexualization of children’ including reading of kids’ book about drag queen’s hips

  •     Shows on the network include ‘Sesame Street,’ ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,’ and ‘Clifford The Big Red Dog’
  •     Gov. Stitt’s veto means that the network will cease operations this year unless legislature overrides it
  •     He also criticized a Newshour feature that included parents’ support for gender-affirming treatments – including puberty blockers

Of course, both the article and the Governor miss the point.  Why is the Gooferment subsidizing a TV network?  Does anyone think that Sesame Street can’t get on a network without the Gooferment money?

If the Taxpayers of Oklahoma want to subsidize PBS, then let them VOLUNTARILY contribute to the PBS negations that run regularly.

Argh!

American sprinter and Olympic gold medalist Tori Bowie has died at the age of 32.

Doesn’t anyone think that all these sudden deaths of people is some way related to the Covid “vaccinations”?

I can not EVER remember more than one or two in ALL my decades on this earth.  Len from Maryland was the only one that stands out and he was found to have a congenital heart defect.

It can be a coincidence.  And, some politicians, bureaucrats, and Big Pharma execs should be on trial for murder!

Argh!

RANT: Norfolk Southern should be ashamed if not penalized for this inexcusible behavior

Sunday, April 30, 2023

Shocking video shows kids crawling under a Norfolk Southern freight train as carriages continually block their route to school – and start moving WITHOUT warning

  •     Norfolk Southern trains have frequently blocked crossings in Hammond, Indiana, for hours 
  •     Schoolchildren are often late to class and have to crawl over and under stopped trains to get to school 
  •     Indiana is in the top five states with the most complaints about blocked rail crossing. Texas tops the list, followed by Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Tennessee

Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.  And, if I was on the jury, I’d make sure that an “eye watering” judgement would get everyone’s attention.

I read recently in Japan that the Railway Company there put “turtle conduits” under their tracks so that turtles could migrate safely.  I bet Norfolk Southern would not survive in Japan with their careless lack of regard for human life. 

I can’t believe that the political parasite class can’t get this “fixed”!  Why else do we tolerate them?

I’m going to put on my citizen journalist hat on and ask Norfolk Southern for comment.  Any wager about response time?

CONSPIRACYTHEORY: John Lennon’s murder may not completely understood — Category 4. Plausible?

Could the man jailed for John Lennon’s murder be INNOCENT? Bombshell new documentary poses serious questions about whether Mark David Chapman fired the fatal bullet

  •     EXCLUSIVE: Research throws doubt on the murder of John Lennon in New York

A three-year investigation into the murder of John Lennon has unearthed a series of extraordinary inconsistencies – including the suggestion that detectives may have fundamentally misunderstood how the shooting happened.

British author and TV producer David Whelan has exhaustively examined Lennon’s fatal shooting on December 8, 1980, as he and his wife Yoko Ono returned to their home in the Dakota Building overlooking New York’s Central Park.

Whelan has unearthed a trove of documents relating to the killing, including gunman Mark Chapman’s ‘hit list’ – published for the first time here – which as well as the former Beatle also featured Marlon Brando and former First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

This is interesting.  Without going down this particular rabbit hole, it’s hard to believe.

Liberal comedian Bill Maher launched the Cojones Awards, a new trophy for those who stand up to cancel culture mobs, on Friday’s edition of his long running HBO talk show. The award honors ‘outstanding achievement in growing a pair.’

Maher, 67, handed out a gold trophy of dangling testicles to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos for his refusal to apologize over the controversy created by Dave Chappelle’s 2021 comedy special The Closer, which was criticized over jokes about the transgender community. 

The host congratulated Sarandos for standing firm as Netflix employees walked out of their jobs over the controversy. He joked that if staff didn’t like the content then maybe ‘Netflix may not be the best place for you.’

While I don’t agree with his liberal slant, but with these awards he seems to doing the right thing.

Hitler’s revenge: Unseen photos published to mark Warsaw Ghetto Uprising’s 80th anniversary show the Nazis’ brutality as they crushed Jewish resistance fighters’ bid to stop families being taken to death camps

As plumes of smoke spew from behind the ghetto wall, well-dressed Germans watch on, willingly indifferent to the atrocities being carried out on the other side.

Another photo shows a group standing beside a playground in Nazi-occupied Warsaw as burning buildings from the Jewish ghetto are engulfed in flames and billowing smoke.

A third shows women and children being rounded up as soldiers stand by with rifles, ensuring they do not cause any trouble.

I don’t understand.  Even the flat-earthers have at least an understandable belief system  — close up the horizon looks flat.  I don’t understand how the these befuddled fools can have any principle to stand on.  One can only hope that they get worse ridicule that the flat-earthers who are harmlessly just wrong; these other people are sick dangerous.

POLITICAL: “Don’t demonize” is absurd; they should have all been arrested — it was riot with shootings and property damage

‘Don’t demonize them’: Chicago’s new mayor-elect says it’s ‘not constructive’ to vilify group of rowdy teens that torched cars in rampage organized on social media – but condemned the chaotic takeover

  •     Chicago’s mayor-elect says he does not condone violence carried out by teens Saturday night but that the city should not vilify the group

  •     Two teenage boys, 16 and 17, were reported shot but in stable condition

Chicago’s mayor-elect says the city should not demonize the teens who organized a ‘Teen Takeover’ of the Loop over the weekend, even after the event turned violent with cars burnt cars and minors shot. Brandon Johnson, 47, said Sunday he does not ‘condone the destructive activity’ and that it’s ‘unacceptable and has no place’ in Chicago, but that it should not be used as a way to vilify the group. ‘However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,’ said Johnson, a progressive Democrat. Shocking footage showed some teenagers jumping on top of a bus while others started a massive brawl after descending on Millennium Park and attempting to breach barricades. Gunshots rang out with some rounds striking two teenage boys aged 16 and 17. Cars were also left vandalized near East Washington Street in the Windy City, including a Tesla which is worth about $120,000. 

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but I disagree.  This is behavior that should be demonized and punished severely. 

These were criminals and thugs rioting.

“Law and Order” is a joke in these Democratic cities.

Preparations are well and truly under way for King Charles’s coronation as rehearsals took place outside Buckingham Palace today.

Members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, who carry out ceremonial duties for the two most senior regiments in the Army, paraded down The Mall ahead of the historic ceremony on May 6.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the streets of central London for the King’s coronation, the first since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s seven decades ago.

*** end quote ***

Some see pageantry and history.  I see stolen money conspicuously wasted.  The cast of bureaucrats on horses is Taxpayer money parasitically taken from the middle calls, poor, and the fixed income serfs.

Argh!

At least they’ll get to see a “free” show.  And, I bet not one person thinks of the resources wasted.

Sigh!

Sadly.

Remember  “Now ladies, I’ll share some advice that I picked up from a tattooed lady in a bar on Second Avenue late one Saturday night at closing time. She said ‘Sonny, if a man wants to bet you that he can have the Jack of Spades jump out of that deck of cards there on the bar there and it will piss in your ear, be prepared to have a wet ear.’ Sorry, that’s the whole and literal truth.

INTERESTING: Never heard of “chimerism’ before

The most JAW-DROPPING family secrets exposed by at-home DNA tests – from an only child who discovered he had 30 siblings to woman whose dad was swapped a birth

  •     Two in ten Americans have taken mail-order DNA tests, according to YouGov
  •     Many are taking to social media to reveal their jaw-dropping family secrets such as that they have 30 siblings or even married a cousin 
  •     Here Dailymail.com takes a look at the dark side of the trend as millions of Americans discover they’re not quite who they thought they were

‘Rare condition meant I wasn’t related to the children I birthed’

Single mother Lydia Fairchild was 26, unemployed and looking for state support in 2002 when she was asked to take a DNA test to prove her family was all related.

But the results suggested Fairchild had no genetic link to the two children she had birthed – prompting alarm from social services.

‘I knew that I carried them, and I knew that I delivered them. There was no doubt in my mind,’ Fairchild, from Washington, said at the time.

She gave birth for a third time and again DNA tests said she was not related to the newborn – despite carrying it for nine months.

It later transpired the mismatch was due to an ultra-rare condition called ‘chimerism.’

It meant she had technically been a twin in the womb but the other embryo died early on meaning she ‘absorbed’ her sibling’s cells.

The condition meant she had two cell lines – with only one matching that of her children.

Her case was relayed in the 2006 documentary ‘The twin inside me.’

*** end quote ***

Why would this poor woman have to “prove” that her children were “hers” to the Gooferment?

This sounds like the identical twins dilemma that TV and Movies like to dramatize.

Makes these DNA “quite revealing”; not always for the better.
