Cory Booker: "The president is weak. And wrong. White supremacy is not a mental illness, and guns are a tool that white supremacists use to fulfill their hate."

Sorry Cory, but that ol' meme won't hunt.

Any claim of individual differences or superiority that is inferred from racial origins is demonstrably wrong, and clinging to the idea is mental illness.

Some popular examples:

(1) White men can't jump. Some can, some can't. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

(2) Men are better at math and science. Some women are brilliant mathematicians. some men are awful at math. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

(3) White people are inherently superior to black people. Nope. Some white people are great, some are just barely human. Some black people are great, some are not. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

You can't apply any of these racial generalization to any individual.

The whole point of the Constitution is that citizens are individuals, and must be treated equally.

Guns are a tool. Check the first three Amendments for why individuals should have them.

A Quick and Dirty Look at the Democrat Presidential Candidates


Warren has too much baggage. So as does Biden.  Tim Ryan no national recognition.  Gillibrand is not lefty enough for the radicals, and not appealing enough in general.

Beto is all adjectives and adverbs, but too few subject-object-verb combinations.   Hickenlooper is too weird, even in this field.

Inslee is what engineers call a "don't care term" - he doesn't affect anything.   Sanders can win the primaries, but he is too old to get elected.

Klobuchar is too mainstream to win the primaries.  Harris has some traction, but most of the country has no idea what she would do. I'm not sure she does either.

Castro has the "Reconquista" vote, but that is only a fraction of Hispanics, and he is certainly the candidate of the ever expanding bureaucracy voter.  Delaney, Delancy, who?

Gabbard has the Hindu vote, and the "keep it weird" vote that does not go to Beto, but that's about it.  Williamson has no support among the super delegate crowd, so money is a problem.

Cory Booker might carry New Jersey, but not much else.  Bullock, might be considered for VP, but nothing else. Swalwell is like Howdy Dowdy, he will say what he is told to, but we're not sure who pulls his strings

That leaves Mayor Pete.  I don't care if he is gay, and he seems well spoken and smart.  But his endorsement of the Green New Deal and reparations, both of which he should be smart enough to recognize as fool's errands, gives me pause. Either he is willing to lie, or he thinks the voters are stupid, or both. Either way I couldn't support him. 

We'll see who emerges from the early debates.  Maybe there is a Chuck Rhodes waiting in the wings who can whip up some support?

==================EMBARGOED UNTIL APRIL 1, 2019==================

The Institute for Inter-sectional Connector Social Justice 
                                                
It Is Long Past Time for Gender-less Connector Equality

It’s time for industry to throw off its patriarchal and oppressive history and eradicate the use of the sexist and misogynistic designations of connectors as “male” or “female” and replace them with politically correct and gender-neutral alternatives.

We need to dispel gender connector myths, such as the idea that female connectors are more resistant to damage or contamination and move beyond the current attempts at simple hermaphroditic connectors, because all connectors should be free to express their own gender identity and not be locked into simplistic and trans-phobic labels given them arbitrarily by others.

We urge standards bodies and manufactures to eliminate these hateful designations before December 31, 2019.  We further demand the elimination of all existing “legacy” connectors currently in use by December 31, 2021.  Otherwise we will lead a boycott and call on all consumers of wireless and electronic products to cease purchasing any and all products using these designations until these cruel and incorrect labels are eliminated. 

Join our movement!    #CONJUST     #NOSEXCON      #GreenNewDeal

Trump must prevent foreign meddling in future elections!

The Trump administration must ensure that no further Russian or new Chinese meddling in our elections can occur. I demand the same or an even higher level of vigilance that the Obama administration applied to the 2016 election.   FBI and Intelligence Community assets must be deployed in all candidate's organizations as soon as possible, and FISA warrants obtained to allow certain interception of all penetration attempts by foreign actors.  Only swift and comprehensive action can save our Republic from another attempt to steal an election!

Gizmodo tells us how to have a personal impact on climate change!


http://gizmodo.com/things-you-can-actually-do-to-help-fight-climate-change-1796883589

“The science tells us basically the future of a good life on planet Earth depends on reducing climate pollution by about 90 percent by 2050,” sustainability professor and study co-author Kimberly Nicholas told Gizmodo. “A lot of people recognize this and are ready to act, but most don’t know what to do.”

Let's look at their 'high impact personal choices" list:

1. Have one less child. This is especially a good choice in Germany, France, and England. You can reduce your impact and that of all your descendants, and no one else will move in and have lots of kids, right? Better yet, have no children at all. The ultimate virtue signal. Paul Ehrlich's predictions have been proven correct time after time! 

2. Live car free.  This is very politically correct, and makes you much easier to propagandize, herd and control. NYC residents know that the subways are so good that nobody needs a car. Any right thinking Californian knows that riding BART trains is much safer than driving your own car. You should also support huge bond issues to build more subways and light rail with union workers. Those self driving cars that use existing roads more efficiently are 100 years away, right? And rising real estate prices and rents benefit everyone equally, right?

3. Avoid one transatlantic flight.  This shows tremendous Euro-centric and racial bias. It should read "transcontinental" or "transoceanic". But, this is another great virtue signaling opportunity. It's best to just stay home and never travel anywhere. The green jet set crowd is an exception, since they travel in service to others, of course. Do what they say, not what they do.

4. Buy green energy.  This reduces demand for conventional energy sources and keeps prices down for others, so that allows them to use more energy, so that's good, right?  Solar panels on the home make perfect sense, especially in places where conventional electricity is expensive, like Europe and Hawaii, and all that nasty manufacturing is outside the US, which is a benefit, right? But using solar for transportation and industrial uses that require high energy density and dispatch-ability is not practical until someone invents a good storage system. 

5. Switch to an electric car. This one is a great virtue signal, but since the vast majority of electricity is generated by coal and natural gas, you are really not doing much. But those exotic metals and catalysts in the batteries will force someone to come up with a way to dispose of all that toxic waste 20 years out. So that's progress, right? Plus, 700+ new coal plants being built in China (as part of the Climate Agreement) might someday be able to sell you electricity to charge your battery, which will also improve China's balance of payments.

6. Eat a plant based diet.  This requires a bit of study to avoid protein deficiency and the resulting health problems, including confusion and difficulty in processing new information.  Thanks to 1. above, if you don't have any children, then they don't need any protein to thrive and develop, and the world is better off, right?   Plus the mental issues will make you a more politically correct citizen.

Private Home Ownership May Not Be Viable Because Climate



Western Sydney University Researcher Louise Crabtree, writing for The Conversation, thinks in a world torn by climate disasters ownership of private property may have to be sacrificed, to be replaced by a system of housing cooperatives or a roaming right to reside.....

I propose that California should lead the way, by opening all beach-side property with a new ownership and sharing model that creates just access to water. All previously private beaches should become open camps, with indigenous peoples and refuges given first priority. The first beachhead should be Malibu, using eminent domain and marshal law as required. Water to the people!
