Parody or reality?-----AOC upset over parody press account cracking up conservative social media | Washington Examiner

AOC upset over parody press account cracking up conser
"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is asking her followers to be careful about what they read after a meme Twitter account began parodying her press releases, to the delight of conservatives across social media.
Armed with a blue check, the Twitter username @AOCpress, identified as an "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Press Release (parody)," describes itself as "Saying the quiet part out loud (parody)."
The account gained mass popularity Monday when Elon Musk replied to it.
Musk replied with a fire emoji.
Tweets from the account parody everything from Ocasio-Cortez's personal life to her political views.



Ocasio-Cortez does not appear to find the account's humor funny.

  • The emphasis is COVID as a racial/socioeconomic thing. 
Our broken culture pushes us toward inactivity and a diet of corporate garbage food, pushing up our risk factor for COVID and every other malady. 
How do we encourage and enable people to take better care of themselves? 
Telling them they are victims of racism is counterproductive, since everything is the other guy's fault, so there's nothing you can do.

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley lays bare Democrats' constitutional ignorance in debt ceiling crisis - TheBlaze

Constitutional law scholar Jonathan Turley over the weekend silenced Democrats urging President Joe Biden to use the 14th Amendment to end the debt ceiling crisis. Progressive Democrats, upset that Biden negotiated with Republicans, want Biden to avert default by invoking a questionable legal maneuver: an obscure provision in the 14th Amendment ratified in the context of the post-Civil War America, which almost certainly was not designed to be used to override the statutory borrowing limit.

Their power has always been an illusion, perpetuated by pop culture and the national socialist media, but now that is being shown to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors. 
Normal people in the pro-freedom majority are figuring that out. 
And now that it's being shown to be a cultural chimera, the anti-liberty authoritarianism of the fascist far left is finished. 
It's not just that there's been resistance; they expect and exploit what they've received in the past to always portray themselves as victims while being the obvious aggressors

"The actress Jane Fonda, who famously took the Communists’ side in the Vietnam War, told an audience in Cannes that white men are to blame for the ‘climate crisis’ and called for them all to be arrested and jailed
The Mail has the story.
“It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop. We have to arrest and jail those men – they’re all men [behind this],” she said on Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival.
She added there “would be no climate crisis if there was no racism”.

Target VP Was Board Member for K-12 Transgender Advocacy Group

Target VP Was Board Member for K-12 Transgender Advocacy Group

Target’s shareholders lost $9 billion in stock market value because the C-suite mixed its professional duties with its personal agendas, including advocacy for transgenderism.

The poster boy for this high-risk policy is Target’s vice president for brand marketing, Carlos Saavedra. He moonlights as a board member of an advocacy group for K-12 transgenderism and gay status. The group, titled GLSEN, is an acronym chosen by the teachers who formed the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network in 1990.

"... Even after relativity and quantum physics threw everything open," in the 1980s Stephen Hawking and other big shots claimed that physics was on the verge of a 'final theory,' or 'theory of everything,' that could answer these big questions and solve the riddle of reality," as John Horgan noted in the Scientific American.
But that expectation too was dashed
Nobody talks about a theory of everything now. 
  • As Sabine Hossfelder explains in her book Lost in Math, the Large Hadron Collider isn't finding what the standard model predicted. 
  • The James Webb Space Telescope discovered enormous distant galaxies that should not exist. "Nobody expected them. They were not supposed to be there. And now, nobody can explain how they had formed."
Part of the problem is although we are still enlarging the encyclopedia, the reversopedia is growing so much faster that our island of knowledge, while enlarging steadily is not expanding as fast as the shadows around it. 
Each year our store of knowledge grows, but never as fast as the list of unsolved problems they suggest.

...The Daily Mail has more.
A Hollywood director helping to bankroll Just Stop Oil has been accused of hypocrisy over his lavish holiday home in Ireland – 5,000 miles from his Los Angeles base.
Oscar winner Adam McKay, whose films include The Big Short and Don’t Look Up, is one of a group of multi-millionaires behind the Climate Emergency Fund.
The Beverly Hills-based fund raises cash from its mega rich supporters and distributes it to ‘disruptive’ activists, including handing almost £1million to help Just Stop Oil wreak havoc in the U.K.
Mr. McKay is a director of the fund and has donated over £3.2 million to it to support “recruitment and training” for groups including the British activists...

  • Hundreds of Trump’s voters were jailed over a protest at the Capitol over the counting of the votes and we have not heard his protest. Indeed, Bush has condemned these protesting patriots as threats to America..
