I was in Kroger today and some fucking piece of shit is wearing a Che shirt.

I very loudly said to him “The fuck dude, wearing a shirt with a mass murderer on it.  Do you have any idea how many Cubans he killed?’

At which point he walked away and my wife got very uncomfortable with me making a scene.

I miss Miami.

Some dude wears a Che shirt and I know I wouldn’t be the only person giving him shit.

And if Che shirt guy got his ass kicked, every supermarcado employee with an Abeulo from the old country would come down with a sudden case of “didn’t see anything officer.”

You’d think that Alamaba was Red enough not to tolerate people wearing Che shirts in public, but apparently not.

Wearing a Che shirt should be treated like being a child molester in prison, where they fall down the stairs a lot and nobody gives a shit.

Pet theory: all conservatives should have to spend a year living off a minimum-wage job. All progressives should have to stake their future on profitably running a low-wage business for a year

Think of this every time I see "Businesses could find workers if they just paid more!"

Virtually every Conservative I know had a minimum wage job, and it was usually a gross as hell, go home filthy at the end of the shift, back-breaking, job.

I hauled construction materials around in the burning Florida sun and emptied restaurant grease traps.

The difference between Conservatives and Progressives is that the Conservatives said: “this job sucks, I’m going to work hard, gain skills, and earn myself a position where I don’t have to do this sort of shit for this little money.”

Progressives said: “this job sucks, I’m going to protest so that the government tells my boss to pay me more.”

It’s not that Conservatives have never worked a minimum wage job, it’s just that we know that a minimum wage job is supposed to be a first rung on a ladder to success, not a career.

Her precept is wrong.

Paxton Smith is the valedictorian of Lake Highlands High School's class of 2021. She submitted her commencement speech for approval, then tossed it aside. She had something else to say about the new state law that bans abortions as early as six weeks. https://t.co/NUd5LLmU1a

The internet is screaming “how brave” and “you go girl” and all sorts of shit like that.

Lake Highlands is an upper-middle-class community in Dallas, Texas.

It went 65% for Biden in 2020 and 61% for Clinton in 2016.

The national media, pop culture, teachers’ union and, Dallas school board, etc, all are Progressive.

So what did this girl do?

She threw out a speech celebrating her graduating class to give one that is pro-abortion, in front of an audience that is overwhelmingly like-minded, to the thunderous applauds of the like-minded media and pop culture.

This is no different than Progressive artists or comedians insulting Christians but refusing to touch Islam.

It’s safe and easy and poses no personal risk to themselves, and they can applaud and cheer and pretend they are “speaking truth to power” and “standing against oppression.”

This girl had to know, probably was pretty sure in advance, that what she was doing was going to go viral and get her interviews on TV and 15 minutes of fame.  It’s the Greta Thunberg/David Hogg model.  Be a teenager that thrusts yourself into the spotlight on a subject you only have a Buzzfeed infographic level understanding of to the accolades of a media that uses you like Hamas uses a child soldier.

Do you know what would have been brave?

One student walking out saying “fuck this, I wanted to celebrate my high school graduation, not listen to another political speech.”

The Left has done an amazing job convincing itself that despite having total hegemonic control over the music and entertainment industry, professional sports, education and academia, pop culture, big business, and majority control in politics, they are still the scrappy underdogs constantly battling up-hill as the Davids against a Conservative Galiloth.

She is a bucketful of sunshine and puppies,

A New York City-based psychiatrist told an audience at the Yale School of Medicine in April that she had fantasies of “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.”

Dr. Aruna Khilanani spewed the race-hating virtual remarks — in which she also said she’d walk away from the shooting “with a bounce in my step” and that white people “make my blood boil” and “are out of their minds and have been for a long time” — at the Ivy League institution’s Child Study Center on April 6.

The problem is that we cannot be sure if she was being boastful, kidding or serious. And just like her, There are plenty of people on her side of the security fence that spouse the same feelings and/or verbiage of contempt for whomever they deem their enemies that week.  We simply cannot afford to think they are not willing to go form thought to action as it is our lives the ones that will be taken.

If you still have somebody asking why we need “assault guns” and “High capacity magazines” just point at her and remind the person she is not alone and probably has friends elected to office.

Over half of NYC kids can’t handle basic English, math on state tests

While state officials lauded scoring increases, only 47.4 percent of city students in grades 3 to 8 scored at proficient levels in English and 45.6 percent made the grade in math, according to the numbers.

The city’s Asian kids had the highest rate of math and English proficiency yet again, the data show.

In math, 74.4 percent made the grade, followed by white students at 66.6, Hispanics at 33.2 and African Americans at 28.2.

About one-third of Hispanic and just over one-quarter of Black students had math or English proficiency.

If anything holds them back in life, it’s this.

If you can’t handle basic math or English, you can’t do simple things like make change, or read an instruction manual and dilute a cleaning solution.  The very most basic skills for people at the bottom rung of employment.

What have they been taught?

So when they fail because they can’t read or understand basic math (e.g, floor cleaner is 10 oz per gallon of hot water, and the floor scrubber holds 5 gallons, how much floor cleaner needs to be added to the tank) they will know it has nothing to do with the fact they can’t read or understand basic math and everything to do with their skin color.

A rational person would ask “why are they doing this to their children?”

The answer is “they don’t, they do it to other people’s children to create a permanent illiterate, dependent, and aggrieved underclass that will keep them (the Progressives that educated them this way) in power through votes forever.”

Outside of the house is done.  With the back porch also done, I can concentrate on fixing the little things inside. We are hiring painters for the inside of the house ’cause they will do it faster and better than me…mostly without spills on the tile floor which could mean my demise at the hands of the missus.

Now some rest and I can start paying attention to the blog a bit more.

I mean, c’mon, who’s gonna stop me?
