Recently I have written several posts about Leftist pundits, opinion writers, or politicians who have come out against having kids.
The arguments fall into few categories:
Selfishness: kids are expensive and cramp your style, don’t have kids and think of all the disposable income and free time you will have.
Feminist careerism: kids will get in the way of you becoming CEO/Chairwoman of the Board/Senior Partner/etc., and you will be happier with your luxury apartment with walking closets full of Prada and Jimmy Choo than being a mom.
Environmentalism: kids are just another generation of resource consuming polluters and it would be better for the planet if we didn’t have any more of them.
If a woman does get pregnant, the Left will encourage her at every opportunity until her due date (and now beyond it) to abort her child for the aforementioned reasons.
These messages are all over the place.
Yet, if Conservative stands up and says “many women are happier being a mom than CEO” or “maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t be trying to legalize late term abortion for convenience” he will be shouted down for being a sexist, misogynist, knuckle dragger, who believes that women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
It seems to me that the side that really wants to control women’s bodies is the Left, and the control they want to exert is to keep women from having kids and happy, loving families.
And for some reason I have nt been able to get a picture of the coots with the new camera. We had almost 40 of them staying at our lake, but it seems they dislike me this year.
DAVIE (CBSMiami) – A driver is dead after he lost control of a Tesla and slammed into a tree in Davie.
It happened on Sunday afternoon on South Flamingo Road near 12th Street.
Davie police said the four door 2016 Tesla Model S burst into flames on impact. Arriving officers tried to get the driver out but couldn’t.
“They attempted to break the window in an attempt to get the driver out but the flames were too strong and too big and they were unable to and so there was no doorknob and they were unable to get into the vehicle that way,” said Detective Vivian Gallinal.
I am not just trying to exaggerate things, it seems Teslas do like to become bonfires on impact. It also happened last May in Fort Lauderdale and the only survivor was not wearing a seat belt and got ejected from the car before it went up.
Maybe they just don’t like the weather in South Florida. Too hot or something and it is impact-driven spontaneous combustion.
I know you won an Oscar for your movie and think you are God’s right testicle right now. This is just a reminder that more people watched re-runs of Sharknado 2 than will even know the name of your Oscar-Winning flick
Miami is not the same thing as Miami-Dade County: one is the city and the there is obviously the county. Lemme show you:
The blue-dotted line area comprises a lot (not all) of the county while highlighted part is the City of Miami. But why the confusion? There are a LOT of towns, cities, unincorporated areas and the such within the county who most people in the US and the world have never heard of. If you live in Miami Beach (a city on its own), you can get away with it. If you are an old school gambler, somebody says they live in Hialeah, you know is somewhere down here. If you say you are from Palmetto Bay, Opa-Locka, Florida City, Doral or Medley, etc. most of the people would look at you like “Huh?” That is when asked where are we from, we just summarize and say Miami. We don’t say Miami-Dade county because it sounds snotty as if we were trying to be special and above everybody else. I hated the change of county name from Dade to Miami-Dade for that and other reasons.
The Holodomor was the deliberate starvation and murder of upwards of seven million Ukrainians by the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. The Soviet Army seized food grown by the Ukrainians, as well as destroyed crops and executed farmers, leading to the man made famine.
Walter Duranty was the Moscow Bureau Chief for the New York Times during the Holodomor. The New York Times published nothing but denials of the genocide by famine reported by Duranty. At best, Duranty was a coward and was intimidated by Stalin into repeating Soviet propaganda to avoid punishment. More likely, he was a pro-Soviet ideologue who lied to promote the Soviet system. For this deception, the New York Times was awarded a Pulitzer.
One report dated Nov. 30, 1960, and circulated to the top leadership — most likely including Mao — tells how a man named Wang Ziyou had one of his ears chopped off, his legs tied up with iron wire and a 10-kilogram stone dropped on his back before he was branded with a sizzling tool. His crime: digging up a potato.
When a boy stole a handful of grain in a Hunan village, the local boss, Xiong Dechang, forced his father to bury his son alive on the spot. The report of the investigative team sent by the provincial leadership in 1969 to interview survivors of the famine records that the man died of grief three weeks later.
Starvation was the punishment of first resort. As report after report shows, food was distributed by the spoonful according to merit and used to force people to obey the party. One inspector in Sichuan wrote that “commune members too sick to work are deprived of food. It hastens their death.”
So we fast forward to Venezuela today, 2019.
The socialist leader Nicolas Maduro is employing the same tactics as his socials forebears in Russia and China.
The agricultural policies of socialist Venezuela has led to famine in that country. This blog has covered in depth the reports from Venezuela of people eating garbage, rats, road kill, zoo animals, and stray pets.
So what does this have to do with the future of the United States of America?
Here is Bernie Sanders giving a lecture in which he openly supported Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution.
Video: @BernieSanders, University of Vermont, 1986, recalls his excitement watching Castro’s revolution “rising up against the ugly rich people.” & his sick feeling watching JFK speak out against communism in Cuba.
Sanders also loved the Soviet Union, the one that starved seven million Ukrainians to death because they have a nice subway system.
Video 2. After his 1988 trip to the Soviet Union, @BernieSanders praises their (communist) youth programs and his wife Jane praises their (communist) system of not separating personal life and work. pic.twitter.com/Le8c87gG7f
Some leading Florida Democrats are furious with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders for declining to call disputed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro a dictator or recognize opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the country’s interim president.
Even Slate had to call out Bernie Sanders for his love of Castro and Maduro and other Central and South American dictators.
This isn’t the first time Sanders has chosen to tiptoe around Latin America’s despotic leftist regimes. In the ’80s, Sanders traveled to Nicaragua. Upon his return, he repeatedly defended the Sandinistas and their leader, Daniel Ortega. (Michael Moynihan offers an excellent overview of Sanders and Nicaragua here.) Sanders’ enthusiasm for both Ortega and the Castro regime in Cuba came back to haunt him during the 2016 presidential campaign. Three years ago, during a primary debate against Hillary Clinton hosted by Univision and the Washington Post in Miami, Sanders was shown a video shot in 1985 while he was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in which he spoke about Nicaragua and enthusiastically described how Fidel Castro had “totally transformed” Cuban society, providing education and health care. After Univision anchor María Elena Salinas followed up, Sanders acknowledged Cuba as an “authoritarian, undemocratic country” but then proceeded to praise the Castro regime, again, for its “advances in health care” (a dubious claim at best).
This is the same man that praised bread lines.
So crazy old uncle Bernie loves despots who starve their people as a tool of political oppression.
So what, he’s just a Sitting Senator from Vermont.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is leading the 2020 Democratic presidential field in the key primary state of New Hampshire, according to an Emerson College poll released Saturday.
The Emerson poll has Sanders, an independent, receiving 27 percent of the vote and former Vice President Joe Biden trailing closely behind at 25 percent. Biden has yet to officially declare his candidacy, but is considered likely to run and has already picked up endorsements from other prominent Democrats.
Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris, who received 12 percent of the vote, was the only other Democrat to crack double digits in New Hampshire, according to the poll.
New Hampshire’s primary is generally the second contest after the Iowa caucuses, making it an early litmus test for presidential hopefuls.
He has the best name recognition among candidates and could take the youth vote.
So we have a potential next President who just loves dictators that impose famines.
“Feel the Bern” might end up being a reference to grain set on fire in Red States.
This is why God and our Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment, to make sure that no American was deliberately starved by his or her government.
Ettore Boiardi who we knows as Chef Boyardee has an interesting story: Born in Italy in 1897, he came legally to the US when he was 16. He was a chef for the Plaza Hotel in NYC, cooked for a president, opened his own restaurant and went on to produce the canned meals we all know him for. He also fed troops in both WWII and Korea with the same canned food. Basically Chef Boyardee not only supported our troops but fed unknown millions with cheap nutritious meals that all people could afford.
Wolfgan Puck? Great chef serving the rich in Los Angeles.
I am sticking with the paisano. Bill can continue kissing the asses of the Elites.
