The article doesn’t report if the fools were hurt.  I’d give them no sympathy if they were.  I hope the moose will forgive all the other humans who wouldn’t think of bothering them for no apparent reason.  Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Children are mature enough from age SEVEN?

Thursday, March 30, 2023

Pentagon doctors claim children are mature enough from age SEVEN to decide if they want puberty blockers and hormone drugs — in report co-authored by trans pediatrician

  •     Pentagon doctors said it was against children’s human rights to deny them care
  •     The piece appeared in the American Journal of Public Health last month
  •     READ MORE: Editor warns trans children in the US are being rushed to surgery

*** begin quote ***

Pentagon doctors have backed research claiming trans children as young as seven can decide they want puberty blockers and hormone-warping drugs.

In an editorial led by Air Force colonel Dr David Klein, officials said minors ‘have an inherent ability and right to consent’ to the interventions that are often irreversible.

The piece cites a 2018 study by Dutch researchers that claims more than 90 percent of over-sevens are mature enough to decide their gender identity and whether they want to start transitioning medically.

*** end quote ***

I think they are out of their $%^Y&U* minds.

Think of all the things we don’t let 18 year old do as a society.  I have read that brains don’t fully mature until people are in their late 20’s.

I can’t say enough how reprehensible I find this “study”.  And while I don’t often agree with Bill Mahr, I think he sums it up best.

“When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God, nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and pegleg surgery.”  — Bill Maher

DISCOURAGING: How can we contaminate women’s athletics with men “transitionoing”?

Saturday, March 25, 2023

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11846123/Trans-womens-advantage-sports-analyzed-photos.html

The photos that will stop you in your tracks: As more states seek ban on trans women competing in women’s sports, experts insist the ‘undeniable’ physical advantage CAN’T be undone by gender-affirming care

  •     The hugely divisive issue of trans participation in sport returned to the spotlight after a school girls’ team won a state title with help from a trans girl
  •     It’s the latest flashpoint in the debate that was thrust into the mainstream when trans swimmer Lia Thomas became an NCAA champion in March 2022
  •     Researchers and elite athletes say the science speaks for itself: Trans women have a physical advantage that can’t be undone

The incendiary issue of transgender participation in sports returned to the fore this week after a high school girls’ team won a state championship with help from a biological male. Olympic medalists were among critics who joined the backlash to Chloe Barnes’ role in Brookline High School’s victory in Massachusetts . Barnes is a junior who competed under rules that allow students to ‘participate in a manner consistent with their gender identity’. This is just the latest flashpoint in the debate that was thrust into the mainstream when trans swimmer Lia Thomas became an NCAA champion in March 2022. Supporters of inclusion claim fairness can be maintained when biological males compete against women, while opponents that argue women’s sports must be protected face accusations of transphobia. But cut through the often toxic political mudslinging that dominates the debate and, according to researchers and elite athletes, the science speaks for itself: trans women have a physical advantage over biological females – and no treatment exists which can unravel that. 

*** end quote ***

It’s just not fair!

And, it’s a contra-survival of the species to allow it to continue.

It’s not like we have to permit these individuals to turn society’s norms on their head.

Time to get our “definitions” correct!

INSPIRATIONAL: What the police od right is seldom recognized

Best cry I’ve ever heard’: Cops describe relief after saving unconscious boy, 3, trapped in his car seat, completely submerged – and reviving him with CPR

  •     Boy was trapped in seat after car had plunged into canal following a car crash

Officers have described the utter relief after they battled to save an unconscious three-year-old boy who was trapped in his car seat and completely submerged by water for three minutes before he was rescued and revived with CPR by the police.

The child was trapped in his seat after the car had plunged into a canal following a car crash, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department in Florida, which was called to the rescue.

Despite ‘heroic efforts’, the driver was unable to get the boy out of the car, even after good Samaritans saw the accident and tried to help.

*** end quote ***

Not sure if I would have the huevos muchos grande to dive into a murky Florida canal.  I’d be thinking aligator.  But evidently this man proved his courage and saved a life.  “Whoever Saves a Life Saves the World” is well know in both Jewish and Islamic writings. 

“Men are expendable; women and children are not. A tribe or a nation can lose a high percentage of its men and still pick up the pieces and go on … as long as the women and children are saved. But if you fail to save the women and children, you’ve had it, you’re done, you’re through! You join Tyrannosaurus Rex, one more breed that bilged its final test.”  — The Pragmatics of Patriotism (1973) from Heinlein’s address at the U.S. Naval Academy (5 April 1973)

POLITICAL: Mandatory mental competency test for politicians — s great idea for ALL of them regardless of age!

Jill Biden calls it ‘ridiculous’ that Nikki Haley wants to impose mandatory mental competency test for politicians older than 75 as Joe, 80, weighs launching 2024 reelection bid

  •     Nikki Haley wants politicians over 75 to take mental competency evaluations 
  •     First lady Jill Biden said her husband would ‘never’ consider taking such a test

Jill Biden is pushing back on GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, for proposing that all politicians over the age of 75 be required to take a mental competency test to qualify to serve in public office.

I don’t see what the problem is.  

If fact, I like it for ALL politicians.

Maybe John Fetterman from PA isn’t fit to serve regardless of age.

‘This is not the way to conduct an interview’: Smiling Iranian foreign minister says women in his country ‘have all the necessary required freedoms’ in combative interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour

Iran’s foreign minister could not stop smirking as he was grilled about his country’s record on women’s rights in a combative interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday.

Hossein Amirabdollahian told the host ‘this is not the way to conduct an interview’ after he insisted women in Iran had ‘all the necessary, required freedoms’ and accused Western media of fueling protests there.

It comes just two days after diplomats walked out of a speech given by the Iranian minister to the UN’s Human Rights Council in Geneva.

*** end quote ***

Sad to say, there’s not much that we can do to convince these men that they are wrong in their world view of women, women’s rights, and their role.  As a little L libertarian, I can’t solve the world’s problems.  BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), we can “help” them understand the issues.  How about we make all their men PNG and they have to stay confined to their cesspool until they fix the issue.  And, they shouldn’t have a role in UN “Human Rights” proceedings!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Christie Todd Wittman should fly in to assure everyone that the air around the site was safe to breathe!

‘Don’t tell me it’s safe’: Residents of East Palestine express fears about returning after it’s revealed there were more toxic chemicals on derailed Ohio train than originally reported and thousands of livestock left dead

  •     About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash in East Palestine on February 3

  •     Residents now worry about the health effects of these chemicals

Residents of a small town in Ohio fear for their health and safety after huge clouds of toxic chemicals were released in a controlled explosion following a train derailment earlier this month.

About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash in East Palestine at about 9pm on Friday, February 3.

Homes within a one-mile area were soon evacuated as vinyl chloride was slowly released from five of those cars. Authorities then ignited the gases for a ‘controlled release’ of the highly flammable, toxic chemicals in a controlled environment, creating a dark plume of smoke seen miles away.

*** end quote ***

I point to my personal “EXHIBIT #1” of Christie Todd Wittman, the head of the EPA, assuring us that the air around the 911 site was safe to breathe. 

I wouldn’t believe any Gooferment assurances about safety,

Where are the Ohio Senators and Representatives?  The Ohio governor, all their politicians, and bureaucrats?

Any wagers that they are not down there breathing that “air”?

Argh!

RANT: Bullied NJ teenager suicided as a result of taunting

‘Humiliated’ New Jersey teen killed herself at home after being taunted with texts from bullies who beat her in school hall – as callous superintendent claims there are ‘two sides to every story’ – the day before her funeral

  •     Adriana Kuch killed herself on February 3 – two days after being beaten up

  •     School bosses failed to call police, and still have not expelled the students

‘Humiliated’ New Jersey teenager Adriana Kuch killed herself after being taunted with texts from the bullies who beat her in the school halls, her father has told DailyMail.com. 

Adriana, 14, took her own life in her bedroom at her family home in Berkeley Township, New Jersey, on February 3. 

Hours beforehand, she had received a taunting text message from one of the girls who filmed the attack, making fun of her for ‘dripping’ blood on the floor, and being ‘whooped’. 

*** end quote ***

Reportedly the school didn’t call the police.

If I was the parent, I’d have called the police and confronted the juveniles involved.  I might be the one getting arrested.

At the very least, my child would NOT be returning to that school.  There must have been a relative who could have hosted her in a new school district.

This I see as one of the problems of Gooferment Skrules. The parent doesn’t control the flow of money as happens in every kind of free market exchange.  No service; no money.  Try that with any Gooferment”service”!

Bottom line: this is an outrageous incident that just should not have happened.

RANT: Tesla and other EV’s should be considered a national disgrace

Tuesday, January 31, 2023

The shaming images that show where our iPhones, laptops and Tesla cars REALLY come from: The truth about the Congolese mines where kids are paid $2-a-day to dig for cobalt

  •     Images from the Shabara mine and others in the Democratic Republic of Congo show young children mining  
  •     They dig for cobalt, the chemical element that is used in almost every tech product on the market today 
  •     Apple, Tesla, Samsung and Microsoft are the other end of the complex supply chain

For years, big tech companies like Apple and Tesla have assured the customers of their glossy stores and showrooms that all their goods are ethically sourced and sold. 

But a new series of images taken from inside mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 90 percent of the world’s cobalt is mined and used to make the batteries that power our tech-led lives, raise uncomfortable questions. 

Cobalt is the chemical element found in almost every tech gadget that uses a lithium-powered battery on the market today – a smartphone, tablet or laptop requires a few grams of it, while an electric vehicle requires 10kg.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but this is a national disgrace.  And, all EV’s should be scorned.

I’m speechless.

A hero pilot who shot down at least four Russian Migs in a classified dogfight at the height of the Cold War which saw his jet shot 263 times is to receive the Navy Cross.

Retired Navy Captain Royce Williams was sworn to secrecy for more than 50 years over fears that his battle against seven Soviet fighters could spark war with Russia.

Now the 97-year-old is free to tell his tale and is due to receive the Navy’s second highest award for combat valor on Friday at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.

*** and ***

The national security peril soon dawned on Navy command who discovered Williams had engaged the Soviet Air Force.

Migs flying in the Chinese and Korean air forces were known to be flown by Soviet volunteers but this was an escalation with potential to turn the Cold War hot.

*** end quote ***

Yes, Heaven forbid, the American people would be told the “truth”.

Better to allow a hero to be silenced.

Argh!

At what point will “We, The Sheeple” ever get the whole truth.

I think of all the MIAs, KIAs, and other veterans who are denied their due.

And don’t get me started on “homeless vets” while illegal criminal aliens live comfortably in hotels.
