PETA says using animal names as verbal insults is 'supremacist language,' urges end to 'anti-animal slurs' - TheBlaze
PETA says using animal names as verbal insults is 'supremacist language,' urges end to 'anti-animal slurs' - TheBlaze:
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is on another woke jag this week, tweeting out an appeal to humans and asking them to stop using animal names as verbal insults toward other humans.
Why? Well, doing so constitutes "supremacist language," for one thing.
Instead, PETA said, if you want to insult someone you believe lacks bravery, don't call that person a "chicken" — that would be insulting to chickens. Instead, the animal-rights organization suggested, call that person a "coward."

Will Democrats Turn America Into Venezuela? - The New American
"The New York Times wrote in November that Marxist dictator Nicolas Maduro “has left the shrinking Venezuelan economy comparable to that of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.…
The country now has the highest poverty rate in Latin America, overtaking Haiti this year.”
It took just 10 years to accomplish the feat: 
“Just a decade ago [Venezuela] rivaled the United States for regional influence.”
Now, thousands of citizens who used to work for PDVSA, the state-owned oil company, “have been reduced to dismantling [the company’s] oil facilities for scrap metal and selling their distinctive overalls, emblazoned with the company logo, to make ends meet.”
- Ten years for socialist policies implemented by Maduro to reduce South America’s most prosperous country to Third World status.
Can Democrats accomplish the same feat here in the United States, in less time?
With few barriers remaining, Democrats are relishing the opportunity to try.
And they have a nearly perfect roadmap to follow: Maduro’s...Read all!

Why bother smiling at your neighbor?
Such expressions of humanity are no longer visible in Chairman Biden’s lawless, jobless and joyless America.
The mask edicts – they are not laws they are edicts – are now so ubiquitous and so oppressive that one U.S. senator is warning they may never be lifted.
“They will never relent. These people are never gonna let you not wear a mask,” said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, in a recent interview.
Paul, who is also a medical doctor, is calling for a mask rebellion. I wish he had found his voice earlier but we must heed his words of warning.
“I promise you,” Paul said, “you will never get out from the mask because they’re saying that even after all are vaccinated, we don’t know, you still might catch it a little bit, you still might transmit it, even after everybody’s vaccinated. So don’t listen to these people.”...Read all.

Sen. Paul's Cage Match With Stephanopoulos Is A Pattern For The Right
Sen. Paul's Cage Match With Stephanopoulos Is A Pattern For The Right:
Rand Paul’s patience ran out this week when he made an appearance on ABC with George Stephanopoulos and the latter exchanged journalistic inquiry for partisan hackery. The ensuing fight, however, was a case study in what the media has become and how all conservatives who hit the airwaves ought to take them on.
Rather than pose legitimate questions to the Kentucky senator, Stephanopoulos, who made his money as a Clinton-era Democratic operative before jumping over to the world of “objective journalism,” assumed one of the corporate media’s favorite stances. Let’s call it “media antagonism.”

"Allow me to explain, Pam, why this is a really, really bad idea.

Let’s consider for a moment, purely for the sake of argument, that this were actually true. If folk, including governors, started treating Trump as the legitimate president and, therefore, the election illegitimate, what’s to stop them from treating an impeachment or indictment as equally illegitimate?
...So, what’s the solution?
If this is truly the path they were to take how would they stop that “shadow government”?
There are only two ways.
- One would be to hold Trump completely incommunicado, even to the extent of forbidding him contact with counsel to discuss appeals and other aspects of due process.
- Or they would simply have to kill him (assassination or execution depending on whether they fig-leaf it with a kangaroo court).
That would be absolute “go time”.

British professor backed by Natural Trust claims gardening is “racist”
(Natural News) A professor in the U.K. has claimed that gardening is a racist pastime rooted in class and privilege.
University of Leicester post-colonial literature professor Corinne Fowler said in her new book that the British countryside is a “terrain of inequalities.”
...In her book titled Green Unpleasant Land, the professor argued that botanical knowledge “has had deep colonial resonances” as many British estates were partly financed by colonialism and slavery.
She continued that the scientific classification of plants had “engaged in the same hierarchies of ‘race'” that justified colonial occupation and slavery.
Thus, Fowler posited that “gardens are matters of class and privilege.”...Read all.

I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.
So back in September 2019 (!) some guy named DeepFuckingValue posted this on r/wallstreetbets:
It was just a post about his LEAPS (aka, Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities —long-dated calls) on GME.
At the time, nobody understood his position at all.
