Interesting Few Days

First off, for those that don't know, I am a chemtrail Technician at a major carrier, I will not mention which one, I kinda like the anonymity if y'all know what I mean, I kinda like my job and don't want to get fired.   Well there have been flight cancellations..

       We have been working a lot of overtime to keep our airplanes in the air, if a plane is grounded for maintenance reasons, it is because there is something unsafe either with the plane, or something with the passenger emergency equipment.  There are a few hard and fast things that will ground a plane, we take our job seriously to give the carrier and the flying public as safe a plane as we can make it.  That being said, there have been a lot of cancellations, some have been to maintenance, but a lot of them have been to staffing shortages, from the pilots on down.  To get a pilots or as we call them "The Skyking" rating in a first world airline and nation is not easy, and it isn't supposed to be, the responsibility that a pilot has is daunting.  That being said, a lot of older pilots did take a "Package" during covid and retired, that took a lot of experience out of the system.  This effect also went for others like Ground Support and Maintenance, we lost a lot of experience that retired and walked out of the doors.  There was already a looming shortfall before Covid hit, statistically speaking where I work at, 1 out of 3 maintenance personnel were eligible to retire in the next five years, and we know this was coming so we had already been working with the various tech schools in the area to replace people.  But it takes an average of 5 years to get someone spooled up to our processes and how we do things and commercial aviation is a lot different than General Aviation, which the schools focus more on.  It also didn't help that certain airlines fired their personnel that refused to get the Vaxx due to the "Vaxx Mandates".  And the .gov fired employees that refused to get the Vaxx, I was talking to one of the TSA guys that I talk to when I do my Honor Guard missions and he had told me that 40% of the TSA refused to get the VAXX and they were slated for termination after Thanksgiving, but were giving a  temporary reprieve through the holidays but after the holidays, they were canned, and that was done throughout the civil service.   That being said a lot of the airlines are saying that "FAA Staffing Shortages at Key Hubs" are causing ripple effects through the system.  With us, our load factors are running exceedingly high, and if we have any disruptions, it causes problems.

 The Supreme Court made a couple of landmark rulings late last week and the repercussions are still falling.

  Needless the Democrats are a bit upset, crying, raging, meltdowns, hysterical shrieking, crying, howling   miffed shall we say.

      First off the SCOTUS released a major ruling that basically destroyed the "May Issue" that certain leftie states were using to keep people from getting a CCW permit.  The "May Issue" basically said that you had to justify your need to carry a pistol outside the home to a government official, and for some reason, only the well connected, the politicians, Donk Donors, entertainers, and so forth were able to get a permit after a "donation" to a democratic politicians PAC. The regular Joe six pack, the tradesman, the small business owner, the single parent...well they were screwed.  This was a two tiered justice process, one for the connected...another for the rest of us.  This has the huge potential of eclipsing Heller as a major win for the 2nd amendment. Well the democrats are a bit miffed about that.....

  Until Roe vs Wade was overturned......then it was the apocalypse...for the left.  Remember Roe Vs Wade is the center of their being, the zeitgeist of being a modern leftist.  I personally viewed it as a persons choice, we are endowed by our creator to choose, the only creatures on this planet with that ability.  As long as it ain't my DNA or my money, their business.  Personally, I wouldn't "do an abortion" or support it.  But it is a persons choice to do so.  What lost the "Normies" was when the left took the original and kept pushing past the first trimester into the 3rd trimester, and this horrified the "Normies" who couldn't understand the fascination with the left with killing kids.  And what it is that they use it as a form of birth control. "Hey instead of a condom or a pill, lets scrape the cells", that was the attitude and they kept pushing.

We not only went from "Abortion should be safe and rare!", from Clinton yet, to "Abortion at any time for any reason at any stage of pregnancy!" Plus the "Anyone who doesn't agree hates women. If they're women, they're either slaves of the patriarchy-" etc., and you'd think the leftists would at least understand just how badly being called those various things was going to piss off women on the other side.

      We have the other side screaming racial slurs at Clarence Thomas, having riots, throwing temper tantrums, and basically being obnoxious  and the best part is that the voters can see the people wanting abortions in all their glory being assholes and dicks , yep voters love them self entitled white liberal women talking out of their asses. gonna score a lot of points and sway a lot of opinions.

   

  

   And we have the  dictator er Premier of Canada offer Abortions to all who cross the border....Wow how forward thinking...of him....Honoring a women's right to choose what happens to her body.....except she has to be vaxxed.....Say what?    the inconsistency is amusing if it wasn't so sad and tone deaf.

https://t.co/nOWO4OM1ry

    Here is a Tiktok video that explains the "Normies" position pretty well.

     Now the Left is all enraged, they are having "Mostly Peaceful Protest", but in blue cities...they want to try that crap in "Flyover country",  but  the police, city council and DA aren't friendly to that kind of action.   

      This is what they believe in their blue enclaves when they talk amongst themselves.  they view us with disdain.  This was my response to that thread...

It seems kinda foolish there ...sport....you do realize that those rural people have a lot of guns and a DA that isn't friendly towards your cause like that big city where you came from....the outcome might be a bit different than you imagined.....just food for thought

  .

  All I know that the Summer of 2022 will rival the Summer of 2020 as the "Summer of Love" at the rate it is going and the people are not blinded by the media like they were in 2020, and they are pissed and feel like they were taken advantage of

 

    

A few Pithy Thoughts...

 

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I have been very busy at work. 

I went to Wal-mart and noticed a few things.....or not a few things.....

  My wife wanted some "Baby Grande" biscuits.....well none to be had....Although they did have a few cans of  Old NFO's favorite "Whompcan" Cornbread.

This was all the "Dr Pepper" period in the store.   And this was normal, I have noticed that the Walmart employees are getting creative in trying to make the shelves look more "Stuffed" than they actually are.

    But Hey "Lets Go Brandon".

   

  Apparently Hillary being her corrupt self, had a bunch of tech companies spy on the Trump building and plant evidence implicating Candidate Trump and eventually President Trump in the long running "Russia,Russia,Russia" scam that Mueller and the Democrats tried for 3 years to pin on President Trump.  Well Special Council Durham has released a report that isn't covered by the Legacy Media(Insert my shocked face), because They are all in the Tank for Hillary and the democrats and 

 

there is a rumor that Felonia Von Pantsuit will throw her corruption tainted taira into the ring in 2024 and challenge the incumbent President Xiden for the Democratic nomination and there is also  a rumor that a lot of democrats will go with it because Hillary is corrupt and Venal and a total bitch, but she is at least coherent unlike the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.

She and the Hardcore democrats know that the mainstream media are very friendly to Hillary and will let her slide on a myriad of things that would have gotten a Republican and especially Former President Trump hounded wherever he went.  It will be interesting to see how this played out with the 2022 elections coming up this year, and the donks are expecting a bloodbath.

Speaking of the 2022 elections, the new polls are coming out and the expected bloodbath is having the Donks stepping back from the enforced restrictions, mask mandates, and VAXX mandates, apparently the new polls are out and most of America are blaming the Democrats for the problems despite the friendly lapdog media running interference for them.  This has the DNC scared to death, all of a sudden the CDC has decided to "Change the Science" since their benefactor is going to catch a lot of blowback by this and now things have all of a sudden changed....

 

     The CDC has taken a huge hit to their credibility running political cover for the democrats and their attempts to seize power all in the name of "Fighting the Virus" and nobody trust what they say anymore...except the hardcore donk supporters, everyone else doesn't.

    And there is one person that still hopes the virus stays malignant because it is the key to his power

.    And yes only the hardcore donk supporters believe anything out of that charlatan's mouth....everyone else wishes he would go away.

   And the worse thing about the past 2 years of Covididioticy is what it has done to the kids, you have kids that are behind the curve ball in language skills and comprehension due to the mask, and because of the lockdowns, the suicide rate  have been in an all time high, all to keep in power the teachers unions and give the democrats a chance to get their inner dictator on.  I wish helicopters or woodchippers were in vogue right now....

 And speaking of getting their inner Dictator on is the Premier of Canada, Ol Castro's kid Justin Trudeau whom after fleeing Ottowa because of the trucker protest on the VAXX mandates, and and now there are trucks blocking the bridge between Canada and Michigan and of course the Leftist are all a flutter

    *Wow*, the total distain our "Elitist Betters" have for people that they view "From the lesser social strata", than themselves.  "Just get a Soldier", like we are replaceable, interchangeable, malleable pieces to move about as they sit on their cloud and look down upon those in flyover country and believe in their innate superiority because of their family or their education in that ivy league school.  These clowns believe that they are our new feudal lords and are pissed off that the "Hoi Pelloi" are getting "Uppity" and are forgetting their place in the great scheme of things.  Remember we are here just to exist to support them in their lifestyle, our dreams, hopes and aspirations don't figure into the equations because we are lesser beings and of we were actual people like they are, we would have gone to the right schools and have the same belief systems like they did.

What people are pissed off is the forced VAXX mandates, the same people that were screaming "My Body My choice" now have gone full Gestapo and have tried to force the issue and get people fired from their jobs, keep them restricted to their homes and shunned from society because they for various reasons didn't want "The Jab". 

 

 Now my attitude is, if you want it, fine get it, if you don't ,fine then don't, it is a personal choice.  The problem is that a lot of lefties went full NAZI and tried to get and in some cases got people fired from their jobs for not getting "The Jab", it was like a religion or a rite of passage for them...I saw all the virtue signalling on farcebook from them "I Got the Jab, Look at me how Virtuous I am", The same people shrieking "Stay Home" are the same people that have safe government jobs like School Teachers or work for .gov in some other capacity and they CAN work from home and they stay home and act all virtuous and the rest of us have to out there and produce something for a living or we don't eat and pay the bills, you know....the "essential Employees".   I saw a lot of that, a lot of sociatial pressure to get it, and if you didn't you were everything from subhuman trash to wanting to kill your fellow human beings for refusing to "Jab up", and this caused a lot of resentment because it showed a 2 tiered society and now they are talking about a 2 or a 3rd booster....Say whut?  My employer has backed off the Mandates......for now, so my job is secure......for now.

 

Stacy Abrams, the 2018 Democratic for Governor and who was responsible for having the 2021 ALL-STAR GAME  pulled out of Atlanta  because of the Georgia Voting Law changes, well anyway she had a picture of herself in a classroom full of kids, she wasn't masked, but all the kids were.

                                          Here is the Actual Pic is question...

      What is it with our "Betters", the rules they foist upon us don't apply to them, you notice all the events, the stars and politicians are unmasked, but all the staffs and help are masked, so they are not noticed,their faces and their individuality removed so they are the nameless, faceless underclass.  Then you wonder why the Trucker revolt is picking up steam in many countries and the protest is spreading, the people are tired of the bullshit and are starting to pushback.
 

 

    This is how the average liberal is, unhappy, to them everything is misery and they have to try to change it because everything in the United States is "Evil".  I think that they have no spiritually inside so they adapt the tenats of liberalism and the goalpost change all the time and that makes a person miserable because of all the incertainty,  How can you be a believer when the rules change on you all the time, hell you would be miserable if the the teaching that you grew up as a kid changed as you got older and the foundation you thought you had turned out to be of sand and it shifted due to political winds and expediency.

    With all that shifting around, I would be miserable too, and I would be soo miserable, I would make my fellow man miserable, because if I was miserable and he was happy..."By Gaia, that isn't right, he has to be just as miserable and nasty and ugly as I am, remember fairness and equality is part of the tenets of liberalism, and I have to spread the blessings of liberalism to my fellow man".....See what I mean?

     Well Xidens ATF sent out a post on Valentines day, nothing says love like having an ex-spouse or partner gaslight you to the most rogue of the federal agencies on the planet....Remember to the ATF, due process is a suggestion and rights is just seeing which dog get shot when they drop in for a midnight "Visit" and if you just don't happen to get shot, count your blessings, because Rover sure ain't gonna worry about it, you can go to the pound and get another dog after it is "Just a silly mistake" after they leave when your house is trashed and you have to bury your dog and the warrant they got from a friendly ATF judge was full of bullshit from an "anonymous source".   Then you have to go to court to try to clear your name all because your EX wanted to score some kind of payback.    ATF   Keeping it classy since WACO.

   And speaking of Government, it seems like we are in an abusive relationship with them, the rules keep changing, we have all these unusual diktats coming down from D.C on the Potomac, and the size of the IRS is doubling to "Catch Tax Cheats"......Riiight....the one agency that have a different  court system and a different legal system than all the rest of the .GOV and you wonder why this goves people the chills, the one agency (Well the ATF will just show up, shoot your dog and maybe you,) but the IRS will flat our take everything you have and leave you destitute and you have to go to their court to prove that it "Was a mistake" with their judge to get your stuff back, and people wonder why this gives them the chills.

We have rumblings of Putin invading the Ukraine and adding "The Breadbasket" to Mother Russia, and our "Betters" are pushing sanctions and other things and beating the drums of war, talking about committing troops and I am horrified, I am an Army Cold War Veteran, I was part of VII Corp in Southern Germany and I also went to the Persian Gulf as part of Desert Storm, so as they say "I smelled the smoke and saw the elephant" That isn't what concern me, I was part of a highly trained green machine that had all the branches of the services that were well equipped and highly trained in warfighting, now the Army and the Military in General has newer equipment and in a lot of cases, better equipment, but the leadership flatout sucks, they are more concerned about "Diversity and Inclusion" then warfighting skills, whereas our near peer enemies don't have that problem and we will get our asses handed to us.  Our troops are fragmented, the ones that believe in this country are forced to either get vaxxed or get out, and the ones that stay in are the ones that will be ideologically pure to the left in this country, but they can't fight worth a crap, but by God they check off all the boxes.  And our "Betters" that are pushing for a confrontation, it won't be their kids fighting and dying, it will be "Flyover Countries" kids fighting and dying.  Our"betters" have no skin in the game unless the payouts they have in any Ukraine companies *Cough*Hack* Hunter Biden's  Gas Company sponsorship*Cough*Cough*. If there is a fight, we will have China watching and

either getting ready to carve up Taiwan or they will while we are embroiled in the Ukraine dealing with Russia.  They will be studying how we fight and figuring out countermeasures  and right now I don't have faith in the leadership military, Civilian, and political to do whats is in the best interest of our country, 

    And Finally

Inflation is at a 40 year high and the legacy media is giving ol Gropy Joe political cover.  They are saying the official inflation rate is 9.7%.  I think it is higher than that

          This was in December, now it is February.....And I think it will get higher and our Betters in D.C ain't gonna care because their fiscal policies don't affect them, they live in this bubble but it affect everyone else and I think they will use the money policies to crush dissent and force compliance to their diktats.  Nothing brings out their inner STASI like democrats.

Some Musings........and Rants

 

The 2022 Election is almost here, and after 2 years of democratic control, we have massive inflation, massive crime spikes due to the soft on crime policies of the Soros funded DA's.  We have huge spikes in fuel prices, we have had "supply chain" disruptions...or basically a lot of stuff that people expect to see in the grocery store isn't there. We have had draconian lockdowns and .gov in the CDC and other government officials working hand in hand with the democrats to help the democrats grab power and hold power all in the name of "The Public Good" and well after 2 years of chaos, the Normies are pissed and there is a huge electoral bloodbath expected where the donks are expected to lose both the House and Senate.  The Normies, most that are apolitical are angry that their regular world has been so disrupted by the shameless powerplay of the democrats and they intend to punish the donks at the polls.  But to me and many others there is a concern that they will cheat and be so obvious about it since they got away with it in 2020 they will do it again knowing that it don't matter anymore and that they plan on staying in power no matter what.

   I recently closed my Paypal account That I had since 2004,  I had used it with my EBAY account. Apparently Paypal decided to go "Woke" and "Penalize"people $2500 for "Misinformation", and I and many others have closed our accounts.  I had major concerns because my paypal was attached to my Checking account and has been for many years and having PayPal arbitrarily deciding to be the arbiter of what is right or wrong didn't sit well with me and I didn't want them see something on my social media and "fining" me $2500.00 because I said something that some woke scold in Paypal found "Offensive" and nail me for that money to punish me for "Wrongthink" and hitting my checking account, so I killed it.  Apparently it has made an affect, Payal was at $95 dollars a share, until this broke, and when I killed my account, it was down to $83 (now as of 11/05/22, it was $75)  Hey "FAFO"

Elon Musk Officially over Twitter and the people on the left side of the aisle have lost their mind, for years they controlled twitter, it was one big echo chamber and anybody that wasn't a "blue Checked leftist" was pretty much shouted down and buried.A lot of conservatives including President Trump had their account permanently banned.  Well Elon Musk has started laying or firing people at Twitter and the gnashing of teeth is glorious to see. 

        We on the conservative side have been making comments like that "They can mine coal" or something along that line after the wokescold being sanctimonious when Xiden started shutting down the energy sector putting thousands of people out of work and the comments on twitter was "They can learn Code" well the twitterites can learn to mine coal...or there are other employment opportunities for them....

 Meanwhile back to the Vaccine front, Apparently the Donk infected CDC has published their recommendations for vaccinations for children including all the covid vaxx including the boosters..

A lot of parents have adopted the "not no but Hell NO" attitude, but the School Boards and Teachers Unions are trying to link this with a health crisis and stating if your kid don't have the VAXX then they can't attend school, and in the blue areas this is getting a lot of traction, but in the red states there is a lot of pushback, I am glad that my son has graduated.

 

 

Apparently "The Atlantic published a Covid Amnesty Story"

Ms. Oster cites school closures as one example: “There is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high.” (In the summer and fall of 2020, Ms. Oster herself favored opening schools.)

However, she adds, “in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.”

That’s awfully generous to Team Shutdown, which included all of the progressive great and good and nearly all of the media. Yet it was clear by summer 2020 that children were at extremely low risk for severe illness. They were also struggling with remote learning, as were their parents. All efforts should have been made to reopen schools, as Florida did in August 2020, and to keep them open.

But the teachers’ unions lobbied hard to keep them closed and succeeded in far too many places where they dominate local and state politics. Many big city school districts didn’t reopen until spring 2021. Chicago didn’t offer full in-person learning until last fall. The results in lost learning have been catastrophic.

Ms. Oster pardons Ms. Weingarten(The Teachers Union President) because “on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong” and “in some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons.” You can guess who the right people are.

This plea for forgiveness would be more plausible if the shutdown lobby had shown more willingness during the pandemic to listen to other arguments that proved to be right. Instead they dismissed and tried to discredit the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration who argued for focused protection of the most vulnerable while opening schools. Tech platforms censored them.

Ms. Oster says “most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.” But the teachers unions intentionally misled the public by hyping the virus risks for children. They did this to extort more money from Congress to “safely reopen” and compensate for learning losses from the shutdowns. Democrats gave them $122 billion last March, only about 15% of which was spent during the 2021-22 school year.

“Getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing,” Ms. Oster writes. But in Ms. Weingarten’s case, it was.

One certainty: The left will never forgive the shutdown dissenters, notably Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for being right.

 

       I recall being threatened with my job if I didn't get "The JAB", The social pressure to get "The JAB was unreal, from the media, from my friends, from everywhere,"Get the Jab" or you are subhuman scum that wants children and old people to die", kinda crap.  There was talk about stripping me of my rights, putting me in a camp with "Others of my ilk so we can infect each other like lepers" as the left raged on twitter and other social media post.  The holier than thou crap I dealt with for 2+ years getting sneered down and being treated like crap because I wouldn't take the Jab.  I have lost friends and colleagues over this.  My wife and son were treated like 2nd class citizens because of the "CovidKarens" and their behavior.

    Thats pretty much my attitude, I have the "I want Tribunals" forgive and forget is really hard right now, these are the people that shut down schools, businesses, locked up people for walking in the parks, and going to churches but allowed protest if they were of the certain political persuasion(Democrat) let cities burn, forced the police to back off thereby letting citizens to fend for themselves and a lot of people got killed and hurt. We went from Energy independence to Xiden begging the Saudi's to increase fuel production before the 2022 election hoping to postpone the expected electoral bloodletting that is expected after the nitwit shut down production in this country to appease his clueless base.  We have had criminals have a free reign because of the soft on crime policies of the Donk mayors and D.A's, We have had parents called "extremist" for opposing "CRT" and race based theory in their schools and the Xiden Dept of Justice sent the FBI to intimidate parents rather on criminals.  We have had a huge illegal groups swarming the border bringing a lot of fentanyl pushed by the cartels with them contributing to the opioid crisis Middle America is dealing with.

 

I can go on and on but the point is that the "normies" are pissed.  They had their parents die alone and all they got was "Tiktok" videos about how great the Medical was...unless you refused to get the VAXX then they fired you too and a lot of Dr's and nurses refuses to VAXX up and got unemployed and now are contract workers as the medical field tries to recover from the short sighted policies of Fauci and his ilk that for political expediency shut down the hottest economy in 30 years to try to push "Orange Man Bad" out of office.

Now they want amnesty...Like I said.....I am having a hard time being forgiving after the hell I and my family and friends went through for the past 2+ years.

The 2022 election is almost here, and there is a lot of concerns, I believe that if the election is fair, that the Donks will lose their ass, but they have no compunction about stealing and cheating, it is in their DNA to cheat because it is all about power and there is another concern...

      Democrats tend to have temper tantrums when they lose.....when they win, they are entitled jerks and rub it in the faces and go on power trips like we saw for the past 2 years.  Unless they cheat massively and I think this is likely they will get their clocks cleaned in 2022.  Voting is sacrosanct, it is the safety valve of our system, if they keep tampering with it to ensure their "Victory" people will no longer participate and start finding other ways to show their displeasure and that isn't good because "peaceful disobedience" only seems to work for the donks, if we use it we are extremist and have to be locked up and if you call someone something all the time, they become what they are accused of.

How the "Crazy Cat ladies" took over the Democratic Party.

 

   The "Karen" phenomenon is more than a thing, about the bitter old white harpy that wants to complain and try to control you because her life is crap.  She bought into the 4th wave of feminism and thought her life would be perfect, and now in her forties/fifties/sixties after kicking her husband to the curb to "find herself" after listening to her divorced friends, she realized that her life is empty so they are out on a crusade to "change the world" so as to try to fill her life with meaning because they usually have no kids or have alienated them unless she has daughters and she will try to corrupt her also.  

       They usually have no belief system except gaia, or the state or some other nebulous higher power, believes in "the science" if it is pushed by the state, because you can't question the state.  They are the ones that made the most use of "the snitch lines "on your neighbor and called the cops, they are the self important busybodies that made sure that all the edicts pushed by Fauci and crew were complied with on social media or you were "killing people ".   They are the ones that screeched and pushed for everyone to get "The Vaxx" or you should go to a camp with all the other non believers and just die.  They had the insipid circle on their social media profile that stated "I am vaxxed" and they were proud of it.  They were the ones that would swoop on you in a grocery store and screech "Where is your mask?"  even in states where it wasn't required.  my favorite response after politely telling them to go away was to "FU", yeah I had no love lost for the self important busybodies.   The "Stasi" would have loved these people.

I pulled this off "PJ Media".

Back in the bar-hopping days of my youth, the telltale sign of a high-quality nightclub was twofold:

1. Must have a minimal (or no) cover charge, and the beers can’t be crazy expensive. (Pro Tip: If there’s a clean mint in the urinal, you’re paying too much for your drinks.)
2. Must have hot babes.

Advertisement

And honestly? The latter outweighed the former by a LOT: We could always “pregame” (with Milwaukee’s Best and/or Natty Light, of course) before going out — but if the bar was packed with nothing but dudes, we wouldn’t hang around.

We’d leave and try to find a bar with babes!

Bar owners understood this dynamic, which is why they invented “ladies night,” where all the women drink for free: As long as your bar is filled with good-looking women, you’ll ALWAYS have plenty of desperate dudes (like me!) paying handsomely for the privilege to drink with ‘em.

That’s how the male mind worked: We wanted to be wherever the women were.

But what if I told you there’s a place that utterly defies this male-female dynamic — a place overflowing with single, desperate women… and young men STILL avoid it like the plague?

Remember those “No Kings” protests? Turns out, the name was dead-on accurate: There were no kings.

In fact, there weren’t many men there at all.

From the New York Post: ‘No Kings’ protest composed mostly of educated white women in their 40s: experts

At last weekend’s “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s.

Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said the “No Kings” protests were a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur.

“What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets,” he told Fox News Digital.

Axios also studied the demographic breakdown of the “No Kings” rallies: Not only was it overwhelmingly female, it was also overwhelmingly white:

The typical attendee at the D.C. protest was an educated white woman in her 40s who heard about the event either through friends or via Instagram, according to preliminary data collected by American University researchers who track protest movements.

[…]

State of play: 86% of surveyed protesters in D.C. were white, and 57% were women.

It’s eye-opening how lily-white the D.C. “No Kings” protests were — especially for a political party that prides itself on DEI hires, racial diversity, and kneejerk “inclusivity.”

The demographics of D.C. are 43% black! Yet 86% of the D.C. protesters were white?! 

How is that even possible?

Meanwhile, President Trump won 46% to 48% of the Hispanic vote, 40% of the Asian vote, and about 15% of the black vote. Which means, the evil, racist, xenophobic MAGA movement is vastly more “racially inclusive” than the left-wing “No Kings” movement!

Axios did find an “expert” to explain the glaring absence of minority participants. You might find it amusing:

"It makes sense that we're not seeing people of color in the streets because people of color are being disappeared," said Dana Fisher, a professor at American University's School of International Service.

Right: “People of color” couldn’t march because — abracadabra! — they’ve already vanished. Makes perfect sense. 

(Wait. No, that doesn’t make any sense. Like, none at all.)

Either way, it’s created a radically different image of the “No Kings” movement. Try as they might, this wasn’t anything like the Counter Culture revolution of the 1960s, where college-aged activists led legions of idealistic youngsters into the streets, telling ‘em “Don’t trust anyone over 30.”

Today in 2025? College kids weren’t skipping classes to attend the “No Kings” rallies! 

Instead, it was filled with unmarried, post-menopausal white women.

(Who attended the rallies with other unmarried, post-menopausal white women — during their down time between book club meetings, therapy sessions, and trips to Whole Foods.)

The New York Post focused on the convergence of “belonging and community” and the yenta-heavy demo:

“The ‘No Kings’ movement allows people to feel belonging and community,” [psychotherapist Jonathan] Alpert said. “Sharing grievances with like-minded people feels good, but it doesn’t necessarily change anything.”

[…]

That fleeting catharsis, Alpert added, can also mask something darker. 

“A lot of times people are unhappy in their own lives,” he said. “They may have anxiety or anger, and they project that onto others. That’s partly what we’re seeing play out at these rallies.”

And it also explains why young people — especially young men — want nothing to do with today’s Democratic Party: What self-respecting 20-year-old man wants to spend his free time with a bunch of angry, bitter, old women?

Especially women who view his masculinity as inherently “toxic”?

The Democratic Party has gone from Camelot to a lot of Karens — from donkeys to cougars. And for all the talk of “No Kings,” in truth it was “no husbands”: These rallies consisted of sad, lonely women commiserating with other sad, lonely women.

And then they went back to their single-occupant homes, fed their seven cats, got drunk on rosé, and watched MSNBC ‘til bedtime — wondering where all the “good men” have gone.

(Yeah. All the “good men” have vanished too, eh? Just like the “people of color” vanished from the protests. My God, it’s an epidemic of vanishing!)

The truth, however, is that nobody has vanished: Good men are still here, and 40+% of Washington, D.C. is just as black as it ever was.

They simply don’t want to associate with post-menopausal Karens who run the Democratic Party.

Because this wasn’t Houdini redux: men, young people, and minorities didn’t suddenly vanish into the ether. There was no snap-of-Thanos. Professor Dana Fisher’s theory — that disproportionately large numbers of “people of color” refused to attend a left-wing protest AGAINST Donald Trump BECAUSE of Donald Trump — is beyond absurd. It’s straw-grasping writ large.

Nobody vanished. They were driven away.

This was on the window going into the breakroom where I work at, Even we Rock banging Mechanics 

have an opinion what is going on and we know when someone is trying to blow smoke up our collective keester.   

This is one of the many "tweets" that I have run across on twitter that are full of the faux outrage about the "Lets Go Brandon" movement that is sweeping across the United States.  I think that it is funny that they are upset after spewing all the vitriol on "W" and that was nothing compared to the vitriol that "Orange Man Bad" got after defeating "The Smartest Women in the World" when she was supposed to do a half assed election effort then accept her coronation as the new President....After all it was "Her Turn".  

 

But now the faux outrage at the Supposed outrage at the "Lets Go Brandon" is so detrimental to Democracy and disrespect to Xiden.....Say whut?   After 4 years of the most vitriolic behavior I have ever seen, the blatant double standard we are seeing has pissed off "The Normies", and this is what got the "Lets Go Brandon" movement Started, between the loss of Energy Independence, the inflation, the supply issues, the crime issues and the vaxx issues and other things and the total keystone cops mentality at the Xiden whitehouse is scary to behold, the total incompetence on display and we have 3 more years of this crap?

Let’s concede that it was both a bit humorous and tasteless for a parent to wish the president a Merry Christmas and a Let’s go Brandon in the same sentence. The bigger story is how this ham-fisted White House staff could have put their boss on that phone in the first place. They seldom allow him off the leash. Maybe this is just one more example of their incompetence.

Just look at the original Brandon. He won a race and now is having trouble retaining sponsors. He’s treated like a leper. Woke corporate cowards (like the ones who contributed generously to Black Lives Matter) run for the tall grass whenever they fear a backlash from the noisy Left.

In a larger sense the entire Let’s go Brandon movement is much bigger than a race car driver or even this president. There is a growing majority of Americans who are tired of being talked down to. They are frustrated. They are angry. They are sick of double standards and the doublespeak.

People are fed up and they aren’t going to take it anymore. 

The media is understandably nervous. They refer to this as all part of an insurrection. The truth is that a majority of Americans don’t believe that Trump colluded with the Russians. They do believe that the FBI illegally spied on his campaign and that there is something very suspicious about the election of Joe Biden.

Some 70 percent of Americans believe that the Wuhan virus actually originated in the Wuhan laboratories. Worse, that the research to make bat viruses more lethal to human beings was paid for in part with American tax dollars. This in spite of the lecturing and obfuscations by CDC officials which serve only to harden the opinions of those 70 percent.

The excuses and prevarications concerning our bungled and bloody retreat from Afghanistan reinforce the view that this administration is at once both inept and shameless. The admission that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs conspired with his Communist Chinese counterparts (without consequence) is beyond belief!

We are not supposed to see these double standards. This president made his first official act the cancellation of the Excel pipeline, effectively firing 10,000 hard working Americans. This followed shortly with the tacit approval of the Nord Stream pipeline from Russia to Germany. Americans must be vaccinated, carry proof, wear masks and present photo ID to travel. Illegal immigrants, not so much. 

We’re asked to pretend that there is no cost for trillions of dollars in new spending. Money that we don’t have on programs that cannot work. Just like we’re told that the inflation we see all around us is transitory and this spending won’t be gasoline on the fire. 

Crime is running rampant in our cities. Organized smash and grab robberies and carjackings may be common but they have nothing to do with the defund the police movement or liberal attempts to decriminalize crime. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

First the Left tried to pretend that critical race theory and bizarre sex education programs were not being taught to our kids. Parents knew better and when they took their complaints to the school board meetings our Justice Department labeled them domestic terrorists and dispatched the FBI to spy on them. When the Attorney General was called on the carpet he denied his own memorandum.

 

We see all of this. 

We hear the nightly scoldings. We see the dismissive arrogance of the elites. Dr. Fauci proclaims that he is the science and the science is him. Anyone who disagrees is a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.

The shabby attempts by this White House to smear Senator Manchin, calling him a liar, is but the latest example of their petty dishonesty. 

It’s not just that they lie to us. It’s not just that there are no consequences for their actions, it’s that they insult us and our intelligence. They treat us like children or fools. Or both. 

So Middle America found its voice through an expression that fits the mood. 

The Let’s go Brandon phenomenon is really the manifestation of all these feelings now boiling in the body politic. Just as a volcano trembles before erupting, Let’s go Brandon is a warning. How many Congressional Democrats will be thrown into this molten lava next November remains to be seen. 

But the Brandon movement isn’t going away anytime soon.

Moderna Post a 1.2 Billion Loss this quarter.

 

I have made my feelings known about the "Vaccine" and "The Jab".  I see this as kinda poetic as moderna is starting to lose money on their cash cow especially since the Feds ain't paying for it anymore because "Covid" is over.   Well until the new strain is used to give the donks political cover as they try to push mask mandates and vaxx requirements to scare the crap out of people again, it is an election year you know, great time for absentee ballots you know...a few totes under the table you know after the polls close you know..  I already see people wearing mask again, to me it is a virtue signal thing, it is how hard core donks identify themselves from everybody else, kinda like dogs sniffing each others butts.  "Hey I am one of the smart ones, look at me and my kind, we are virtuous and thinking about other people by wearing this mask".   *snort* F*cking sheep, they buy into all the B.S and swallow it hook, line and sinker, and according to the article, Moderna has a new version in time for the fall vaccine cycle...Halleluiah We are saved again!   Yes this is my sarcasm coming through. 

     I will post more when I can.

I shamelessly clipped this off "Epoch Times"

Moderna posted a $1.2 billion loss in the first quarter of 2024, with the drugmaker blaming crashing sales of its COVID-19 vaccine.

The company notched $167 million in first-quarter sales of its COVID-19 vaccine (called Spikevax), according to a May 2 earnings report. That’s a 94 percent drop from the $2.8 billion in the prior quarter.

“This decline aligns with the anticipated transition to a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine market,” Moderna said in the report. “In the prior year period, the company recognized revenue primarily from delivered doses deferred from 2022.”

The company said that in the United States, where Moderna sold $100 million worth of its COVID-19 vaccine doses in the first quarter, it hopes to see higher vaccine uptake as it works to rush its newest 2024–2025 Spikevax formula to coincide with the distribution of flu shots during the fall influenza season.

“In the U.S., the company is reaffirming its 2024 product sales outlook as it enters the second year of the commercial endemic COVID market,” Moderna said. “Moderna’s focus is on working with public health officials, health care providers and pharmacies to increase vaccination coverage rates to reduce the substantial burden of COVID-19.”

The company also issued a $4 billion sales forecast for 2024, the lowest figure for annual revenue since U.S. health authorities granted emergency authorization for its COVID-19 vaccine in late 2020.

More Vaccines in the Pipeline

Moderna touted the results of Phase 3 clinical trials of its “next-generation” COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA-1283), boasting higher immune response against both new and original virus strains than its original formula.

Clinical trials are also underway on a combination one-shot vaccine against the flu and COVID-19, which Moderna has dubbed mRNA-1083. Data from the study are expected at some point in 2024.

The drugmaker also reaffirmed that it expects to receive approval from regulators for its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine in time for it to be included in this fall’s vaccine campaign in the United States.

The company has expressed hope that its experimental shots—including for RSV, flu, and cancer—will compensate for dwindling COVID-19 vaccine revenue.

Falling demand for COVID-19 vaccines was also why Moderna competitor Pfizer’s first-quarter results saw a significant decline.

Falling Vaccine Sales Tank Pfizer Results

Pfizer’s profit plunged by more than 40 percent year over year in the first quarter, with the drugmaker blaming falling sales of its COVID-19 vaccine and antiviral treatment for the income crunch.

In its first-quarter 2024 results, released on May 1, Pfizer reported total revenues of $14.9 billion, representing a revenue decline of 20 percent year over year from the $18.5 billion notched in the same quarter last year.

Profit fell by 44 percent—from $5.5 billion a year ago to $3.1 billion in the first quarter of this year.

The company blamed falling sales of its COVID-19 vaccine (Comirnaty) and its COVID-19 antiviral treatment (Paxlovid), which saw sharp declines in the United States and the rest of the world, for the revenue decline.

COVID-19 vaccine sales plunged by 64 percent in the United States. In other countries, it fell by 91 percent, for a total worldwide sales slump of 88 percent.

Paxlovid fared better in the United States, with sales declining by just 8 percent in the first quarter, year over year. It performed poorly in other countries (down by 89 percent), for a total worldwide sales decline of 50 percent.

Excluding the COVID-19 vaccine and antiviral treatment, first-quarter revenues grew by 11 percent operationally, Pfizer said.

Vaccine Controversy

While health officials maintain that Moderna’s and Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are “safe and effective,” there are lingering doubts given that a significant number of vaccinated people have reported various adverse reactions.

The most common COVID-19 vaccine adverse events are those that affect the body generally, with fever, fatigue, and overall discomfort being the top three, according to the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. But there are others.

For instance, heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) and inflammation of the lining outside the heart (pericarditis) have both officially been acknowledged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as known side effects of Moderna’s and Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

Nervous system disorders have also been reported, with such disorders being the third most common in the Pfizer trials, coming after general and muscle-related adverse events.

Clinicians treating various persistent vaccine adverse reactions have said that the leading cause of such injuries is the COVID-19 spike protein.

Spike proteins exist on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that invades cells and causes disease. The COVID-19 mRNA vaccines (such as Moderna’s and Pfizer’s) also induce the body to make spike proteins.

The cells that are exposed to the mRNA produce spike proteins and then display these proteins on their surfaces. The immune system then attacks these spike proteins, forming an immunity against them.

According to earlier reporting from The Epoch Times, clinicians have put forward six pathways through which the spike proteins can cause damage, including immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and blood clotting and vascular damage. Multiple studies have shown that spike proteins directly bind to clotting factors in the blood, promoting both large and microclot formations.

Spike protein also damages blood vessels and is prone to forming blood clots, which can block coronary arteries, leading to heart attacks.

Recent reporting from The Epoch Times indicates that CDC officials found evidence suggesting that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s mRNA vaccines caused multiple deaths—before claiming that there was no evidence linking the vaccines to any deaths.
