Gee, Who Would’ve Thought It?

An abandoned fast food restaurant I took a few days ago ...

Do you hear the crickets chirping?

I don’t like to report nooze on Sunday, but this latest example of Stupid Government deserves a mention.

California has lost some 10,000 jobs in the fast food industry since huckleberry Gov. Gavin Newsom, on April 1–a day that somehow seems totally appropriate–raised the minimum wage to $20 per hour (https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2024/06/09/report-10000-california-fast-food-jobs-cut-due-to-20-minimum-wage/).

Officials call the massive job loss “unintended consequences.”

I wonder how unintended they were. How wooden-headed do you have to be, not to have realized this would happen?

Robbie Update: It doesn’t look good, we can’t tempt her to eat. Mostly she sleeps. We don’t know what else we woulda-coulda-shoulda done. Nothing left to do now but pray.

‘Make Way for Utopia’ (My Newswithviews Column, June 6)

It’s gonna be great, right? Almost unimaginably so.

Make Way for Utopia

Isn’t it about time the dead got some input? And can’t we give it to them, via AI (“Artificial Intelligence,” as opposed to the real kind)?

C’mon, man! Thinking’s hard! You shouldn’t ever have to do it, once you enter public education.

Real Smart People are working toward that end. Pay your taxes cheerfully!

Is Gov. Newsom Quite All There?

Billions of dollars to help California's homeless population ...

Sure looks like they’re solving it, don’t it?

Needles, feces, prone bodies lying on the sidewalk, clusters of tents–and Gov. Gavin Newsome calls his state of California “a national model” for solving homelessness (https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/state/newsom-touts-california-as-national-model-on-homelessness/article_358f0ff8-9f4c-5ee9-a6af-48ec133d5517.html#:~:text=(The%20Center%20Square)%20%2D%20California,the%20largest%20in%20the%20nation.).

Solve it?

Yeah. Spend lots and lots of money. Spend $31 billion to set up a program.

In 2023 California’s homeless population was (they say) 181,599. How you acquire confidence in those figures is a mystery to me.

In recent years we have wound up being governed by persons who say things that call into question their basic sanity. Who in his right mind would want his state to model itself after California?

(Meanwhile the cafone in New York wants to hire illegal aliens, now known as “migrants,” to be lifeguards… because “they’re excellent swimmers.” Proved it by swimming across the Rio Grande to come here illegally.)

Then there’s Minnesota.

How did all these loonies make it to the top of the pyramid?

More to the point… how the dickens do we get rid of them?

Have you ever been overwhelmed by the nooze? If not, try covering it for a while.

It’s Getting Too Crazy

I mean, really–how did we wind up getting governed, ruled, dominated, and pushed around by idiots, thieves, and oughtta-be mental patients? Look at our… um… “president.” And there are senators and governors worse off than he.

And remember the days when everybody knew better than to bother a mother bear with cubs? Well, that seems to have joined The Secrets Of The Distant Past.

How did Gavin Newsom avoid making it into this column? He didn’t take a vow of silence, did he?

Can You Believe He Said This?

Acuna, Coahuila De Zaragoza, Mexico. 22nd Sep, 2021. Migrants swim the Rio Grande from Mexico to the U.S as the sun sets. Thousands of Haitian migrants have appeared at the US-Mexico border

Swim the Rio Grande–and get a job as a New York City lifeguard!

How the dickens do we wind up getting governed, ruled over, and dominated by the likes of SloJo Biden and New York Mayor Eric Adams?

Adams’ latest genius moment: Faced with a lifeguard shortage, Adams has suggested that “migrants”–they used to be illegal aliens–might be given work permits as lifeguards (https://nypost.com/2024/05/14/us-news/mayor-eric-adams-suggests-migrants-could-fill-nycs-lifeguard-shortage-because-theyre-excellent-swimmers/).

Why lifeguards?

Because “migrants” are, sez Adams, “excellent swimmers.” Like swimming across the Rio Grande to enter our country illegally and get free stuff.

Great Caesar’s ghost–can you imagine if George W. Bush had said this? Set up the guillotine!

And incidentally, “migrants” is a B.S. buzzword that is being misused. Somehow illegal aliens got turned into “migrants” when we weren’t looking. But in nature, “migration” is not a one-way trip. Think birds flying south for the winter. What do they do when winter’s over? When the seasons change, animals that migrate… migrate! They don’t just stay. 

Ye gods, look at the characters who infest our government. How in the world did that happen?

All this and Al Sharpton, too? Wow!

Extravagant praise of SloJo Biden–does it get any dafter than that? Check out some of those quotes. And we let them grab our country???

You Think You’ve Heard Everything…

Thanks to Democrats and their insane and wicked policies, America is in deep, deep trouble; and the rest of the world is just as badly off, if not worse.

God defend us, this year may indeed be America’s last chance to avoid plunging into the maelstrom.

Too Much ‘Hate,’ Cops Overwhelmed

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Drowning in paperwork hi-res stock photography and images ...

Lots and lots and lots of paperwork–eh, laddie?

[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.]

Whoa! Heave to! Time out!

In only one week, since the new “hate speech law” went into effect, Scottish police have been overwhelmed by 8,000 complaints–more than they received all last year (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/04/09/police-scotland-cant-cope-with-flood-of-hate-speech-reports/). Unfortunately, the new law sez police have to investigate all these complaints. Yes, all of them.

At a rate of 8,000 a week, that would come out to 400,000 more investigations per year, allowing two weeks off for bed rest in the sanitarium.

Some police officials think some of these complaints are the fruit of personal grudges, people using the law to get at each other. Gee whiz! Ya don’t say? Who ever thought that’d happen?

Meanwhile, best-selling author J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) continues to defy police to arrest her for calling men “men” instead of “trans women” or whatever. They’re pretending they don’t hear her. I guess they won’t hear me, either, but I’ll say it anyway: I double-dog dare you to put the Harry Potter lady in jail.

Oh! And police officials also say these “hate speech investigations” will use up a great deal of police man-hours [uh, did I just break the law?] that would ordinarily be put in to solving actual crimes.

No one has mentioned how much paperwork those 400,000 investigations is going to generate–to say nothing of who will have to read it.

They’re gonna need a bigger rest home.

Your State Senator Is Drunk

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Democratic Colorado State Senator Faith Winter announced she is getting substance abuse treatment one day after showing up to a public meeting drunk

State senator! Public policy maker! Drunk.

So… She’s a state senator in Colorado–Democrat, of course–committee chairwoman… sort of an important person. Having agreed to participate  in a public hearing on a scheme to open up a halfway house for sex offenders, in the same neighborhood as a grade school, she shows up late, dressed like a ragamuffin, forgets she’s there to be on the panel, not to sit in the audience…

And she’s drunk (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13274125/Democrat-Colorado-state-senator-Faith-Winter-treatment-drunk-meeting.html). Blotto. Crocked.

She has resigned her committee chair and says she’s going into therapy for alcohol abuse. Her cohorts in the senate expect her back soon. Or so they say. Translation: “when the heat dies down.”

Really, we have to be a bit more choosy about whom we elect to represent us in public business. No country ever suffered a disaster for which its leaders were not to blame.

Is America in good hands?

Sure doesn’t look that way.

Canada Supreme Court: ‘Woman’ a ‘Problematic’ Term

Crazy is as crazy does.

Now they’re packing transgender madness into court cases–here, a sexual assault case– in which no trannies are involved. The Supreme Court of Canada did it just last week.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/supreme-court-decision-say-word-woman-is-confusing-unfortunate#:~:text=The%20Supreme%20Court%20of%20Canada,%E2%80%9Cperson%20with%20a%20vagina.%E2%80%9D

According to one of the, er, “justices” [just call ’em “crazies” and be done with it], the word “woman” is “confusing” and “problematic” and should not be used: say “person with a vagina” instead.

Is there something about a woman that these Far Left wacko judges–most of whom themselves are women–intensely dislike, and want to get rid of?

This was among the nooze stories that I refused to mention during Easter weekend. It’s like the Devil was working overtime this year.
