Charity… or Lunacy?

[Not a satire! 100% pure idiocy, and government gone round the bend]

I confess I found it very hard to make sense of this phrase in a headline: “Luxury Hi-Rise Homeless Shelter.” What in the world is a luxury hi-rise homeless shelter?

It’s another utopian scheme for California taxpayers to pay for.

Taxpayers Build Luxury High-Rise Homeless Shelter in Los Angeles with $600,000 Units

The cost to the taxpayer is some $600,000 per unit. The building itself–Weingart Center Tower–cost $168 million… with two more such buildings on the way.

Residents–I guess that’s what we’ll call ’em–will have all sorts of amenities provided: movie nights, library, personal TV, gym. You name it, you’ve got it!

Suddenly “homeless” means enjoying a higher standard of living than the poor devils who have to pay for it.

I wonder what they’ve got lined up for “migrants.”

 

‘Millipedes as an Everyday Food Source’

Millipede vs Centipede!

Finger-lickin’ good!

Ahah, aha! Thought Violet Crepuscular was just whistlin’ Dixie, didn’tcha? Like, who ever heard of eating millipedes? Why write about that?

Well fan my brow, Violet’s a mile ahead of us! The National Library of Medicine, an arm of the National Institute of Health–an official U.S. government agency–has reported on “Millipedes as Food for Humans” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945075/).

They admit that millipedes generate some stinking chemicals and that these “offensive secretions present a severe challenge for the spread of millipedes as an everyday food source.” Even if they cutesy it up by referring to them as “minilivestock.”

Yeahbut, yeahbut! The Bobo people of Burkina Faso, they eat millipedes! Well, hell, why didn’tcha say so up front? Hey, if it’s good enough for the Bobo people, what are we waiting for? I mean, if that doesn’t sell you on scarfing down millipedes, what will?

Anyway, all sorts of Real Smart People think us common people ought to eat more bugs–to Save The Planet, of course. Real Smart People don’t have to do it.

The day we see John Kerry chowing down on a bowl of millipedes… well, let’s just see if that ever happens.

We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Freedom!

Chain of Command – We've Got a Little List… – TooFatLardies

“Gee! Sure are a lot of names on this Bias List! Better hire more spies…”

The Minnesota legislature is considering a bill that would make almost anything you say “a bias incident” and land you on a government “registry” of Naughty Biased People Who Must Be Watched Closely By The Government–like, why else would you have a State Division of Human Rights? (https://nypost.com/2023/04/26/arguing-covid-came-from-china-could-land-you-on-minnesotas-government-bias-registry/)

Sheesh, how Orwellian can you get?

See, there wouldn’t have to be a crime involved. Anyone could call up the Human Rights commissars and say you said J.K. Rowling is right about there being only two sexes and never mind “genders”! Or “the Wuhan virus came from China.” A simple thing like that, and presto! You’re on their little list.

Leave it up to Democrats, and freedom is murdered in her bed, poisoned at the breakfast table, flattened by a hit-and-run driver in the early hours of the night.

These people are serious: they’ll bring us Utopia if it kills us.
