The power of conforming to orthodoxy

Yes.

Why?

Because the Left excels at maintaining and enforcing political orthodoxy.

The Left supports Communist totalitarianism over American liberty.

Concentration camps are a feature of that, not a bug.

The Left overlooks Uyghur concentration camps while screaming about “kids on cages” because their moral compass points to Leftist totalitarian authority not right and wrong.

The same people screaming that “kids in cages” are American concentration camps have literally called for concentration camps for Trump supporters.

Well meaning Conservatives have a hard time fathoming this but I needs to be understood.

Good is whatever strengthens their control and bad is whatever weakness it.

Once you understand that, it’s easy to figure out what they are going to do.

Happy Monday to me! (Updated)

Why yes! That would be a hole in my roof! They needed a bigger hole to get to the small hole that was producing a leak.

He just crawled out of the hole.

Nothing roof related is cheap in South Florida.  $1,300 to find and fix a small leak. That is a hard shave for us and we are still waiting for the AC Maintenance bill. The trip to the upcoming weekend of Blog Shoot will be our official yearly vacation… and the first vacation we have taken in more than a decade. Efffing gas prices going up not helping either.

Oh well.


Update:

And finished. That is the original color of the shingles which will disappear in about 6 months to a year.

Anti-Semitism is at the core of Wokeness, but if you were paying attention you already knew that

Here is a story from the NY Post to share with your Liberal Jewish friends and family,

Bronx educator claims she was fired after sharing Holocaust story, refusing ‘Wakanda’ salute

A veteran Bronx superintendent once praised by Chancellor Richard Carranza for her successes in the classroom claims her career was derailed by his “equity” agenda — forcing her to take a demotion in a desperate bid to preserve her pension, according to a $150 million lawsuit.

Karen Ames, a 30-year Department of Education employee, says she was targeted by Carranza’s “Disrupt and Dismantle” campaign to oust or marginalize longtime employees because she is over 40, and Jewish.

Ames was grilled about her “ethnic background,” chastised by a colleague at a training session when she shared her grandparents’ experience during the Holocaust in Poland, and “admonished” when she declined requests at superintendents meetings to take part in the comic book movie-inspired “Wakanda Forever” salute to “black power,” she charges in the legal filing.

At an implicit-bias workshop where superintendents were asked to tell their personal stories, Ames talked about her grandparents’ loss of two children during the Holocaust — only to have colleague Rasheda Amon tell her, “you better check yourself,” the lawsuit alleges.

“That is not about being Jewish! It’s about black and brown boys of color only,” court papers quote Amon as scolding.

The Woke magisterium hates the Jews.

(I use the term magisterium because it is a religion with an orthodoxy enforced by people in power.)

A central tenet of Woke is that the reason some groups today are poor and underrepresented in areas of success is historical and ongoing oppression.  The Jews have been historically oppressed but today are on average fairly successful.

This gives the Woke cognitive dissonance and so they lash out and hate the Jews.  We’re not alone in this, the Woke magisterium has recently turned against successful Asian immigrant communities for the same reason.  They can’t handle the reality of successful minority groups as they undermine the ideology that to be a minority is to be oppressed and therefore poor and disadvantaged.

Also, the part about the Wakanda salute, as ridiculous as it sounds is totally on-brand for the Woke magisterium.

Remember that Maxine Waters gave the Wakanda salute at Arthrea Franklin’s funeral.

A subset of the Woke Left latched onto the idea that Wakanda is what Africa would be like had it never been colonizedSeriously.

A fake African nation created by two Jews to add diversity to Marvel comics in 1966 has become this fake history point of pride for the Woke Afro-supremacists like it was a real nation.

There is no reason for anyone who is Jewish to support the ideology of Woke, the Left always comes for the Jews in the end.

Those damned Rednecks in flyover country.

 

So I went into work today to check up on my store and they took all the water I had outside my store ? understandable everyone needs water and I had almost 100 in 7-11 pk and probably 40 of aquafina outside and then when we looked into the store I find this…they left me 620 in cash different ppl I was like wow ?❤? My store made 620 dollars when it was closed.

We were raised and held to a different standard, a standard that in this day and age is considered politically poison because we dare to be responsible and to give rather than take.

May this be your guiding light the rest of the week. Better yet, the rest of your life.

The Muppets are offensive?

And Disney can go flock itself.

“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” reads the message embedded before users get to watch the shows.
“Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe,”

The warning will also appear before some iconic movies, including “Aristocats,” “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan,” and “Swiss Family Robinson.”

Disney slaps ‘The Muppet Show’ with ‘offensive content’ disclaimer

But apparently the controversial human-acted version of Mulan does not have a warning less it offends the government of a mass consumer country  of Disney products.

Say what you want about Hollywood, they do cling to tradition when it pays handsomely.

Welcome to Miami. Californication is not permitted.

A couple from California figured really quick that the rules that apply at home not necessarily apply in Miami. This was back in October 2020

MIAMI, Fla. (CNN) – A California couple was arrested in Miami on Sunday after getting into an altercation with staff at the airport.
According to CNN, 23-year-old Brittney Mohammadi was seen in cell phone video diving on the American Airlines check-in counter at the Miami International Airport.
She and her boyfriend, 26-year-old Manuel Arteaga, began yelling at airline agents when they wouldn’t allow Mohammadi to board the plane from Miami to LAX Sunday night because she didn’t have shoes on, witnesses said.
The couple was intoxicated, according to authorities.

Drunk couple arrested in Miami Airport after fighting with staff

 

The woman admitted in another interview that tequila was part of the equation. With both individuals sporting non-Anglo-Saxon last names, I think they figured they could pull a BLM tantrum and get away with stupid, but when you are dealing with a police force which is past the 60% comprised of Hispanics, Blacks, Haitians and others, trying to pull the Race Card falls brutally short.

At the end, they caught charges for disorderly conduct and intoxication, resisting arrest and battery of a police officer. They will probably be slopped in the wrist and hopefully banned from flying in that particular carrier so other flyers can be spared of their idiocy.
