Orange is the New Black -
OrangeNewBlack.jpeg
Orange is the New Black (ONB) was one of Netflix's early success series, that ran for 7 seasons, and is well liked by reviewers and viewers (96/82 on rotten tomatoes). While I generally liked the characters and writing, it gets a bit manic, woke and Social Justice preachy in the story. You quickly realize it is just it is just Lesbian Hogans Heroes -- with a darker view of the world, but all the same cynical and slightly bigoted undertones. Instead of being anti-German, it's anti-straight white male patriarch, anti-authority... everyone in power is incompetent or an asshole. The prison is filled with good people that just had a tough childhood and made some bad choices, are mentally ill and not getting treatment, or they are framed victims. It's all societies fault. The story arc is interesting, but the dogma of the writers gets thicker and thicker as the writers try desperately to make you bond to the criminals and empathize with their bad chocies resent the authority protecting society from them (or them from each other), and hate the system as much as they do.
The Great Uniter -
BidenHealing.jpg
Barack Obama ran as the great uniter, "Not a red America or blue America, but the United States of America"... and he governed as a far-left impotent fascist dictator that increased the divide on racial and party lines, and the rise of Occupy Wall Street, BLM, Antifa, ISIS, and so on. It's what community organizers do. Joe Biden, had the closest “win” with the lowest vote integrity of any President, ever, why shouldn’t he demonstrate contemptuousness of the other sides interests in the name of unity and healing? Instead of acting at all like the moderate he pretended he was on the campaign, his caustic inauguration speech and immediate executive order lets everyone know he is just attempting to be Obama 2.0 with 1/3rd less brains or charm. He didn't extend an oliver branch or show any moderation/compromises/healing on his first day, or his first week in office. He picked a radical/extremist cabinet based on gender or skin color (and ideological extremism) instead of qualifications, and ramrodded 30 executive orders through in his first week (causing 70,000 jobs), and he broke multiple campaign promises in the process. Zero unity or healing was offered, it was all divisiveness.
Capitol Hill Violence -
PatriotsStealers.jpg
After 12 years of Occupy Wall Street, BLM and Antifa riots and hundreds of assaults (and a few murders) on Trump supporters... who knew that a few Republicans acting like Democrats (or Democrats dressed up like Republicans) would suddenly flip the left and their media from being riot apologists and defund the police fanatics into, "shoot them in the face" and complete totalitarian authority fans? Since the intelligent response for the violence apologist left would be to either (a) say nothing (b) apoligize and say "I see now that I was wrong", they instead turned this into a partisan opportunity to divide us more -- and blame the other side, for what they started, agitated, and are trying to further with their histrionics (whether they are bright enough to recognize it or not).
NYT on COVID - The New York Times was living up to their all propaganda narrative with an article headlined, "One Year, 400,000 Coronavirus Deaths: How The U.S. Guaranteed Its Own Failure" and the subhead blaming Orangeman, "After the White House declined to pursue a unified national strategy, governors faced off against lobbyists, health experts and a restless public consumed by misinformation." Their points were:
  • Americans kept questioning conflicting expert opinions
  • Local governments wallowed in a cesspool of distrust and incompetence
  • The reason Operation Warp Speed and the Vaccine wasn't starting as well as it could have, was because there was no national policy

Of course like most progressives, they get it backwards. (Without understanding the past or present, their ideas for the future are doomed). The facts are that:
  • Questioning authorities is called Scientific skepticism. And there is more questioning when the experts flip-flop and can't explain why. (Like they flipped on efficacy of lockdowns, masks, told people there would be no vaccines this year, that hydroxychloroquine did or didn't work, that it was/wasn't spread by the asymptomatic, that the death rate was 20x what it actually was, they cooked the books on how many have it or died from it instead of just with it, and so on).
  • If you think there was distrust at the local level, with politicians they know -- imagine how much MORE distrust their would have been from a top-down Washington Bureaucrats. Local works better in more places than it works poorly -- and where it failed poorly was generally Democrat run places.
  • Operation Warp Speed did offer federal guidelines back in October... the places that failed the worst were Blue States that decided they knew best. Red States like Texas, South Dakota, etc., were performing wonderfully from the start. The problem wasn't that the Fed didn't run it, it's that Democrats run things poorly.
Digital Kristallnacht -
ItCantHappenHere.jpg
Before he's even inaugurated, Joe Biden's supporters demanded and acted on Digital Kristallnacht: attacking conservatives on Social Media in order to find unity for the cause and spreading hate and division in the name of healing. The least historically informed will think I'm being absurdly hyperbolic... it was only 7,000 digital businesses that were destroyed instead of physical ones damaged, but the black-hearted idea is the same, "if you disagree with us, we will put you in a digital reservation / concentration camp and remove you from our version of civilized society". This polarization (and Biden's silence) sets up the ultimate litmus test: do you support this, or are you an American? The President of Mexico (Lopez Obrador) spoke out immediately against it as did Russian Dissident Alexei Navalny , showing they are more American than Joe Biden, his supporters, and the majority of the American media who supported it or remained silent. Anyone that is not outraged over Big Tech's Executive Order 9066 and the digital interment of the Trumpanese, is not a good person.
Parler - Pronounced “par-lay” (not parlor) was set up in 2018 as another free speech alternative to Twitter.
  • In 2019 it was tiny with 100K users. But after getting some high profile celebrities kicked off Twitter for not being Marxist enough, and landing there, it started to build a real audience -- going from a few thousand downloads to hundreds of thousands a month (#1 in the App Stores and stayed there) and 500K active users in mid 2020. .
  • Social Networks are the sum of their audience, and they're mostly attracting those kicked off other platforms: so a bit heavy on the anti-PC stuff labelled as Hate Speech (Anti-Semitism, anti-feminist or anti-Trans/LGBTQ), but as FB and Twitter got more hostile to conservatives, Parler was getting a more diverse audience and getting much better.
  • After Digital Kristallnacht in 2021 where the fascist left tech companies de-platformed tens of thousands of conservatives; they were flocking to Parler and activity, accounts and downloads exploded. They had reached a critical mass.
  • Since fascists aren't happy with people having anywhere to disagree with them -- the Tech Oligarchs attacked in unison to destroy any outlet that conservatives might have to find a voice (kicking them off Google Play, Apple's App Store, Amazon's AWS service pulled their hosting, and any other service they used yanked them as well, using the made-up pretense that they were uniquely dangerous because virtually all of the threats and coordination around the Capitol Hill Violence (basically a protest that got out of hand) was done on Twitter and FB (not Parler).
  • Non-fascists are flocking to MeWe and Gab instead.
George Gascon - George Gascon is a Cuban American (more Communist than American) an inept Chief of Police in Mesa Arizona who resigned because he was about to be fired, so was appointed by Gavin Newsom to be a worse District Attorney in San Francisco and was forced to leave under a cloud of racial allegations and 49% increase in property crime (with equivalent reductions in prosecutions). With that in mind, he ran and won as DA of Los Angeles where he took his far left ideas that involve unilaterally reducing punishment, enforcement and freeing as many criminals as possible.
Gifting - There's an art to gifting (both giving and receiving). Both are skills like dancing, that I just don't have a natural proficiency for (and haven't practiced enough to be good at it)... my wife does. Growing up my family wasn't good at it either. Don't get me wrong, I give things that are occasionally considerate -- but I'm about as comfortable at it as miss manners watching The Office. For Christmas, my wife got a couple windows fixed, and a screen door. Ooops, there goes the romantic surprise. Maybe next year.
POC - A Korean, and Indian and an Iranian went into a bar and were joking about the terms PoC (People of Color) and BiPoC (Black & Indigenous People of Color), and how it doesn't work because people of the same color aren't equally oppressed... low and behold, everything they were mocking, became true within a few weeks. . Now NPR is claiming that "People of Color" is racist, because it treats all minorities as equal victims. When we all know, that some groups deserve more victimhood cred than others. Of course that's racist, but trying to discuss racism with bigots is futile.
2020 Georgia - George has some irregularities:
  • In Fulton County, surveillance video shows election workers broke the law by cleared the room of poll watchers (claiming counting was done for the night) then pulled suitcases and continued counting. (Biden surged by 10's of thousands of votes). Social Media used Fake Fact Checkers false claims to censor the video. .
  • Biden's poll numbers were way lower than Obama and he underperformed Hillary in every city in the nation except 4 swing cities (Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia) -- all swing cities that had near miraculous results.
  • There was the Dominion voting system that accidentally flipped 3,000 votes from Trump to Biden in Michigan was also used and had some "glitches"
  • There was illegal absentee ballot harvesting going on by Democrat led non-profits
  • 132,000 Ballots in Fulton County, Georgia Have Been Identified Which Are Likely Ineligible (they had change of addresses, but voted anyways)
  • 95,801 Biden only votes, no down-ticket candidates or issues picked (way out of statistical norms). There were 808 for Trump only.
  • Floyd county misplaced a box of 2,600 votes that favored Trump by 800, only found because of the recount that Democrats screamed was unneeded.
  • Fayette County found a memory stick with 2,755 votes that favored Trump by 500, but they had forgot to upload.
  • Walton County found 284 ballots, Trump got another 176, that they had "forgot to upload".
  • Fulton County violated some legal processes (and is being investigated): that's the county that went big Democrat.
  • Past election rejection rates were 3.5%, with more first time voters and mail in votes (both should have increased rejections), they instead got 0.3% in 2020, brining into question whether they did signature checks or other validations at all. The recount/audit decided not to question the validity of signatures, nor spot check them to see if they'd done their job.
Gun Buybacks - One of the dumbest things in America (symbolism over substance)
2020 Lawsuits - Here is the evidence of the Michigan Lawsuit, that the media is suppressing, and claiming there's no evidence of wrongdoing, despite 20 different examples of people coming forward and offering testimony/affidavits of crimes they witnessed (under threat of perjury if they lied on any of this). Including:
  • How Dominion and Smartmatic corrupted the election in favor of Hugo Chavez
  • How Dominion and Smartmatic fails basic security processes
  • Poll Watcher (Alexandra Seely) testified that she challenged 10 votes and was not allowed to challenge them or have her complaint recorded (in violation of the law)
  • Lawsuit from (Costantino and McCall), poll challengers, with multiple witnessed examples of blatant fraud directed by Wayne County Election officials included writing in names, ignoring signature conflicts, unsealed ballots, altering dates, locking credential challengers out while counting, copying ballots without witnesses, and so on.
  • Melissa Carone, IT person for Dominion, multiple witnessed examples of untrained workers, jammed counters, re-counting votes multiple times (one batch of 400 was counted 8 times), failure to control the location allowing unsupervised workers in and out of areas with ballots (could add/remove), and so on. She also filed with the FBI.
  • Affidavit from (Jessica Connarn), poll challenger witnessed changing dates (took photographic evidence).
  • Affidavit from (Matt Ciantar), witnessed large illegal (uncontrolled) ballot drops to the USPS (with photos)
  • Contract for Dominion Voting System
  • Review of Dominion Voting System (from State of Texas IT auditing) with 6 different specialists stating that it was unreliable and unsafe from fraud (which is why they rejected it)
  • Affidavit from (Kayla Toma), managed complaints for Oakland County and recorded dozens of complaints on election night over illegal processes, obstructing poll watchers, and other activities
  • Affidavit from (Eric Quinnell) on the statistical anomalies in the vote like Biden getting 97% of all new votes over 2016 or 151% more new votes than all total new registrations in some townships. He identified some 40,771 votes as statistically anomalous in Wayne County (outside Detroit), and some 46,125 votes in Oakland County.
  • Matt Braynard noted 13,248 appeared to have voted despite having primary residence (voter registration) in another state.
  • Russell Ramsland testifies to vulnerability of Dominion Voting Systems
  • {Redacted} (army intelligence officer w electronic surveillance) noted connections between Dominion voting software and servers in Bellgrade, Iran, China, Scorecard and ACORN/Obama, and other suspicious or illegal connections.
  • Ronald Watkins testifies to vulnerability of Dominion Voting Systems
  • Harri Hursti (voting cyber security expert) testifies to flaws in Dominion Voting Systems (in a prior lawsuit)
  • Samantha Whitley email shows multiple experts in Michigan knew the BMD voting systems were flawed and were not defensible, but they used them anyways.
  • Navid Keshavarz-Nia (cyber security expert) testified on flaws in Dominion Voting Systems. And under sworn affadavit testified that he believes there was widespread vote switching. The NYT was previously reported that he was "always the smartest guy in the room".
Krugman on Legitimacy - "[Joe Biden] will be the first modern U.S. president trying to govern in the face of an opposition that refuses to accept his legitimacy..” ~ Paul Krugman... ignoring that Krugman himself called Trump "illegitimate" a few times, not to mention thousands of lefties at left wing media. They did the same to George Bush for a while. NYT sort of corrected themselves, by first stealth changing the quote to make it look not quite as bad, then when they did admit the mistake, they implied it was a few left wing outlets and failed to admit that it was them and Paul Krugman that had both questioned the legitimacy of Trump and Bush. Real journalists don't act like that. But Democrat operatives posing as journalists do.
2020 Nevada - Nevada has some irregularities:
  • Republicans filed a lawsuit showing failure to sanitize voter roles. There were 95,000 suspicious votes: 8,000 ballots cast by voters with addresses that don't exist, 15,000 voters registered to vacant or commercial properties, 2,468 votes by voters that legally changed their address to another state or country, 42,000 voters who voted twice in Nevada, 1,500 voters listed as deceased, 20,000 Nevada voters with a non-Nevada mailing address, 6,000 United States Postal Service flags on vacant addresses -- that alone is more than 33,000 more votes than would be needed to swing an election, without counting illegal immigrants voting, or many other questionable things below.
  • There's a sworn statement by an election worker in Clark County alleging (a) they were allowing people to vote without valid ID (b) people handing unopened mail-in ballot envelopes to others who opened them and filled them out (c) groups creating a wall to obstruct the view of others opening and filling out ballots and handing them in (d) others turning in multiple ballots
  • Whistleblower claims Biden/Harris van unloading ballots to the voting center.
  • Project Veritas Video showing Mailman giving people handful of other people's ballots to vote with
  • Video of a bunch of Trump votes in a trashcan
  • Reports of high post-mortem voter turnout
  • Clark County threw out an election where the number of election discrepancies surpassed the margin of victory. It was 139 discrepancies with a margin of 10, but it does show voter fraud (irregularities) are real and impacting elections.
Branch COVIDIANS -
BranchCOVIDians.jpeg
Branch COVIDians (aka COVIDIOTS), are the enthusiastic Karen Enforcers of policies that they've been told work by the DNC or their media, but demonstrate no actual domain knowledge of the problems or skepticism (critical thinking skills) to back it up. They are the Dunning-Kruger's who believe the evidence against masks or shutdowns are conclusive: "the science is settled" when in reality, both are still hotly debated in scientific circles and there's as much evidence against both as effective as for. When cornered, instead of discussing the topic, they usually attack people, or post links to their favorite non-scientific source, or rarely, to a junk study that's easy to debunk.

While I sometimes argue with these people, the point is not to change their mind (their views demonstrate that they're not open to the nuances of reality), it's to get them to show to others that their consensus demanding tantrums are not based on nuance or reality, but based on a desire to conform to what they've been told to think (usually by the far left).
CNN Tapes - James O'Keefe (of investigative journalist site Project Veritas) asked CNN President (Jeff Zucker) some questions on their weekly call, like how do they call themselves news when they worked to suppress and spin facts that didn't further their agenda? O'Keefe mentioned they he had been secretly taping their calls for months (during the pre-election coverage) and was going to release those tapes. Instead of answering, CNN panicked, hung up, and said they'd changed the call process to prevent transparency in the future. They also threatened lawsuit, because after they released secret tapes of the First Lady, suddenly when that was turned back on them, they felt that investigative journalism, whistleblowing and speaking truth to power was a crime. So the tapes were released and we got the leadership conspiring on tape to do the following:
  • Jeff Zucker admitting that the network is pushing the agenda of the Democrat Party by making all their news completely “impeachment” focused (and he was fine wiht that).
  • After Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19, inventing the narrative that Trump was "acting erratically"
  • They should stop being friendly towards and be more caustic in attacking Sen. Lindsey Graham (in order to swing an election against him)
  • They should pretend that Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson is a White Supremacist (based on no evidence)
  • They should continue to suppress the Hunter Biden tapes story
  • Conspiring on how to help Joe Biden with Miami Cubans (by downplaying his pro-Socialist/Communist statements).
Candice Owns beats Fact Checkers - Candice Owens pointed out the truth that Joe Biden is NOT yet the President-elect (until the electoral college has met), and thus the media is lying when they claim he is. The Fake/Partisan Fact Checkers at Facebook and PolitiFact censored Candice Owens post, claiming it was false, then authored a whole fake article explaining why he was the President-elect She sued, and they magically backed down and retracted the correction/block and they pulled the article that they used to misinform their base.
Wikipedia co-founder on bias - Even the co-founder of Wikipedia (Larry Sanger) admits that Wikipedia's NPOV (Neutral Point of View) is long dead and forgotten. He used examples such as:
  • Obama's article fails to list all the scandals, and Hillary's is spun heavily, while Trump's had 5,224 unflattering words and listed many debunked scandals.
  • Their abortion article says things like, "When properly done, abortion is one of the safest procedures in medicine".
  • Lies of omission on negative consequences of drug legalization policies, totally pro-LGBT adoption policies, their article on historical Jesus has many opinions as fact, and their pro-Vaccine position or Global warming omits or discounts the opposing views.
Trump Accomplishments - Trump Accomplishments : 2 items
  • Trump Domestic Policy - Trump's Domestic Policy can be summed up as:
    • Reduction in federal taxes and regulations, resulting in 3.5% unemployment (lowest in history)
    • ObamaCare's damage was mitigated (eliminate mandate)
    • Appoint Constitutionalist Judges (empower individuals and States) - 2 Supremes, 53 federal appeals, 144 District Courts, 20 specialty.
    • Abortion: against the radical left's extreme positions on full term abortions and encroaching on religious freedoms by forcing others to do them and pay for it.
    • Prison reform (end falsely accused/imprisoned)
    • Pulling us out of the doomed-to-fail Paris Climate Accord, exceeded it's requirements (while Europe failed to live up to it), and we got Energy Independence instead.
    • Reorganization of Veterans Affairs.
    • COVID: Put travel bans on China, Iran, EU. Paycheck Protection Program, and pulled us out of perpetual lockdown that Democrats and their media advocated for - which kept the U.S. economy from collapsing under the Democrats Wuhan Virus response
    • Immigration: Completed more than 300 miles of the Border Wall, that Democrats promised they would do since the 1980's. deals with Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala have helped stem a flow of illegal entries into the United States.
    • Replaced NAFTA w/United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement
    • Instead of cow-towing to Blue Bubble of FakeNews and progressive activism masquerading as the Tech Elite, he's willing to take them on, and get them to expose who they are (Marxists in Beanies), and what they believe in (bias, censorship, intolerance/contempt for mainstream views).
  • Trump Doctrine - Trump's Foreign Policy can be summed up as:
    • Reduction in foreign entanglements and bring troops home (pulled us out of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan).
    • Pressured our allies to pay more for our protection and to start raising their own defense spending (NATO)
    • Reduction in foreign aid, especially subsidizing countries that hate us (including the U.N.)
    • Reduced our participation in the Muslim Communist Front known as the U.N., including telling the WHO to piss off when they shilled for the Chinese and made the Pandemic worse.
    • Used that savings to increase our military spending from $600B to $738B
    • Raise sanctions and diplomatic pressure on "bad" actor nations (China, Cuba and Iran - tearing up bad deals and Killing Terrorist Mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani, North Korea, Russia with giving Ukraine Weapons, Mexico with illegal immigration/drugs)
    • Working to end unfair trade to restore free trade: reworking NAFTA (USMCA), ended TPP and renegotiated with China (promised for the UK and EU next), got us out of the WTO.
    • Syria: Destroyed the ISIL/Islamic State caliphate that rose under Obama, killed its terrorist chieftain, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi then destroyed Russian mercenaries that attacked U.S. troops. Last ISIS village fell on 03.23.2019
    • Recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel and moving our Embassy there (after 40 years of empty promises). (As well as recognizing the Golan Heights as part of Israel now).
    • Help us become energy independent (no longer reliant on the Middle East).
    • Worked towards peace in the Middle East (deals between Israel and UAE, Saudi Arabia, and many other muslim countries).
MLKs dream - There's a school in Washington State that removed Asians as "persons of color" because they were performing too well. Indeed, Asians (especially immigrants or first generation) outperform whites in all categories: both far east "Orientals" and Indians. Women outperform men in college admissions and graduations. Black immigrants also outperform blacks and often whites, and blacks raised by whites or Asians outperform other black or latino Americans. And this isn't just one school, this is companies and others that are changing the racist Affirmative Action into the more racist URM (Under Represented Minoritis) or BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) movements. MLK had a dream. That dream was assassinated by the left... both in April 1968, and it is re-assisinated by the far left every time the dream twitches to this day. When reality doesn't fit your agenda, you must keep murdering the truth.
