Ch. 15 PC POLICE SQUAD–Grime Drama
Hair-raising tales of misgendering, microaggression, and cultural appropriation, with only Lt. Kaydence Jugular (Jane Fonda) and her Bias Response Team standing between the human race and offensive language. Filmed inside a cement mixer! Sock puppets by Ralph Lauren and Carl LaFong.
There you have it! What’s a porch party without great stuff on TV?
After posting the story yesterday about the “dog hoarding” situation I have found more information. The woman who ran that place took great care of the dogs, but evidently was used as a distraction from the real problem–the dogs of skid row–in Los Angeles. Mayor Karen Bass has done an epic job of foot dragging when it comes to solving the problem of the horrendous abuse of dogs on Skid Row in Los Angeles. I can not repeat what I have read–it actually will make me sick.
This issue should be addressed–not by illegal raids on sanctuaries, but by real enforcement of existing laws.
Somebody is making a lot of money somewhere, you can bet your life on it.
I missed posting Joe’s words of wisdom yesterday. I am sorry. Without further ado here he is. PD

One thing you can say for Satan: he’s never left the building.
I have stumbled over a highly-touted book, Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari, said to be on every globalist big shot’s required reading list. It’s all about how “Our inheritors will be godlike” and achieve all sorts of neat stuff, like abolishing war and poverty and disease and getting eternal happiness, immortality, and lots of nookie ( https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/15/books/review-homo-deus-yuval-noah-harari.html ). Yeah, yeah… they always say that. Ever since the Serpent told Eve, “Ye shall be as gods.”
It’s full of really smart-sounding quotes like, “The free individual is just a fictional tale concocted by an assembly of biochemical algorithms.” Y’know, I’ve heard that before. Rutgers Biology, 1969. A lecture about how total government control of every aspect of our lives–the government advised by infallible scientists, of course–is necessary, inevitable, and totally great. Someone asked, “But what about our freedom and individuality?” Answered our classroom instructor (the lecture was on CCTV), “Those are obsolete concepts that must be engineered out of the system.” She was really good at sticking dissecting needles through the heads of live frogs, but seemed to have no other talents.
But! says Yuval. But we gotta be careful, ’cause just when we’re really getting into being gods, Artificial Intelligence will evolve to become smarter than we are and it will exterminate us.
Some of these guys, I don’t think they actually have to work with real computers and therefor have no idea at all of how unreliable and erratic computers are. And they seem to be getting worse instead of better. And common sense seems to be in short supply, too. The idea that a lot of sinful, wishful-thinking, sophomoric, ignorant, incompetent bullshit artists can grant us eternal life and happiness–I mean, really! Find someplace where they’re selling brain cells, and buy a few.
I’m so glad so many important people read books like this. Knowing that helps me to understand why they behave like immoral and psychotic numbskulls. Even the former occupant of the White House, President *Batteries Not Included, once recommended Homo Deus on TV. As seen on TV! It just doesn’t get more authoritative than that.
Lord, anytime you’re ready…
Today’s posts may seem extra focused on animals, but here’s what happened.
I did my usual posting, but then I spotted a story about a huge animal hoarding (possibly–don’t know all the facts yet) situation in California. Allegedly hundreds of cats and dogs were found in very poor condition on a property in California. The woman who owns the property sounds like she might have meant well at the beginning, but was clearly overwhelmed. And it is an overwhelming kind of situation. 
There are just so many homeless, mistreated and neglected animals out there that you need a staff and lots of support people and helpers if you intend to do that kind of work. They are usually volunteers.
My friend in Florida knows a woman there who started out very small, but with perseverance now has a tax exempt corporation. Her biggest thing is finding lost dogs. Specializing in one aspect of animal welfare is best, also. You at least stand a chance of being able to accomplish something. She does work with the locale Humane Society, but usually does the dog finding on her own. She is a wizard at it.
I would love to adopt a pet, but right now it is not a doable thing.
I pretty much covered the story, but I’m sure more information will be available as time passes.
See you tomorrow.
Pray for our troops.
God bless everybody.
