Do you remember Lance Armstrong, the guy who beat the Tour de France the way he beat cancer? Using drugs then losing his mojo? A refresher:

He now manages a bicycle shop in disgraced retirement (in addition to partly owning… Uber?). The shop did pretty well, too, even landed a six-digit contract for maintaining the Austin PD Bike Patrol’s equipment. Until he saw a chance to Get Woke.

Lance Armstrong’s Bike Shop Cancels Police Contract, Still Expect Cops to Protect from Threats

https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2020/08/09/lance-armstrongs-bike-shop-cancels-police-contract-still-expect-cops-protect-threats/

Last week, the Austin, Texas, bicycle shop founded by cycling star Lance Armstrong announced it was ending its contract with the Austin Police Department. However, since that announcement, the shop made it clear they still expect the police to protect them.

As shameless hypocrisy goes, I’ve seen better. Here’s the gold prize for “Canceling Muh Saviors”:

Report: LA Councilman Who Voted to Cut Police Funding Called Cops to Home 8 Times Since April

https://www.breitbart.com/social-justice/2020/08/09/report-la-councilman-who-voted-cut-police-funding-called-cops-to-home-8-times-since-april/

A Los Angeles councilman who voted to cut the city’s police budget by $150 million allegedly called police to his home several times since April.

Fox 11 reporter Bill Melugin tweeted a link Friday to a public information records request that reportedly showed Councilman Mike Bonin “called LAPD to his home 8 times since 4/4/20, including to provide extra patrols and protection from peaceful protesters at his house.…

I never said that Antifa is ALL bad. Check the linked article to read the whiny fag deny this then move the goalposts once presented with evidence.

The People.s Budget LA proposal was developed by a coalition of organizations led by Black Lives Matter’s Los Angeles chapter, and it seeks to have the LAPD.s proposed budget cut by 90%, with the funds allocated to social services, such as mental health and housing. LAPD.s proposed operating budget for the next fiscal year is about $1.86 billion.

.I think we owe it to Los Angeles to come up with a better and a smarter way of doing public safety and emergency response, and I think this motion is the first step in doing that,. Bonin said at the time.

This looks like self-defeating hypocrisy but 1. Bonin is a flaming homosexual and 2. police are the people who go after child molesters.

Wednesday, the Austin-based store announced that it was canceling its five-year contract with the Austin Police Department, worth nearly $350,000, and would not be renewing it, the Star-Telegram reported.

But even as the shop canceled its association with the police, it insisted that the police should continue to protect them from threats.

.We are not anti-police,. they exclaimed after saying the police are on the “wrong side of history..

Spicy! Let’s go to the source.

Dear Austin,

When in the course of human events…

In the context of the current evaluation of community policing in Austin, we have decided to no longer purchase, re-sell, and service police-issue bikes and accessories under a City of Austin RFP the shop was previously awarded.

Worth $350k give or take a contract extension.

We regret not publicizing our decision before it was presented by others on social media.

They stole muh thunder! I was going to have a gender-reveal party for who ain’t my customer no more! Pink for Antifa or blue for cops!

It’s difficult in these times to balance the needs of a business and a community. Our entire employee group was engaged in this dialogue and we delved deep into our community to understand how we could best do our part to keep our customers safe and this city moving in the right direction.

This is a good time to mention that Armstrong moved away from Austin two years ago. He cared for the community so much that he removed himself from it!

Lance Armstrong rides out of Austin to live in artful Aspen mansion

htt ps://austin.culturemap.com/news/sports/01-17-19-lance-armstrong-moved-austin-aspen-home-architectural-digest/

By John Egan, 17 January 2019

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong . at one time one of the most revered celebrities in Austin . has pulled up stakes and relocated with his family from the hills of Central Texas to the mountains of Colorado.

A new article in Architectural Digest reveals that the Plano native; his wife, Anna Hansen; and their children moved full time to Aspen sometime last year.

.With five kids, it’s just great to live on a street that has no cars on it, ever,. Armstrong tells Architectural Digest of his life in Aspen. .We can ride our bikes into town..

Armstrong sold his Old Enfield mansion in June 2018 for nearly $6.9 million. Shortly after that, he forked over at least $1.28 million for a decidedly less spacious bungalow in Clarksville. It’s unclear whether Armstrong . who recently divulged that he hit the jackpot with an early investment in Uber . still owns the bungalow.

An early investor in Uber moved his family so they’d have a car-free street? My Deep State detector just pinged.

Highlights of the Aspen abode . in the skiing mecca’s exclusive West End . include a media room, a wine room, and a formal living room with nearly floor-to-ceiling windows.

Probably the most prominent aspect, though, is the pricey artwork scattered around the house. Architectural Digest reports that Armstrong’s art collection features pieces from American contemporary artists Ed Ruscha, Shepard Fairey, and Tom Sachs; Japanese contemporary artist Yoshitomo Nara; and anonymous English street artist Banksy.

Nice digs. Why am I suddenly suspicious that a disgraced athlete running a bicycle shop has enough money, and DIS-interest in motor vehicles, to become an early investor in Uber to the point of once again having tens of millions of dollars to play with?

*checks* huh. The Federal government settled its $100m lawsuit against Armstrong for $5m, which let him keep most of what he made while doping. Another ping from the Deep State detector.

Armstrong has a somewhat rocky history in Aspen.

Back in August 2018, the cyclist . stripped in 2012 of his seven Tour de France titles after admitting the use of performance-enhancing drugs . crashed while biking on a trail in the Aspen area. Later that month, Aspen cops responded to reports of a robber at his home.

Two years earlier, in 2016, Armstrong put up the Aspen home as collateral in injunction with a $10 million legal settlement he reached in 2015 with Dallas-based SCA Promotions Inc., a provider of insurance for promotions, contests, and games. The company took Armstrong to court to recover Tour de France bonuses it had paid him and to recoup financial damages.

And in 2015, Armstrong pleaded guilty to careless driving after crashing his SUV into two parked cars in Aspen. The wreck occurred in 2014. He was ordered to pay a $150 fine and nearly $240 in court costs.

Oh, so that’s why he wants to live on a street with no cars: he sees double when driving drunk.

Despite those incidents, Armstrong has chosen to permanently hang his cycling shoes in Aspen.

But while Armstrong may have abandoned Austin as his full-time residence, he still visits the Capital City. .I.m running the Austin marathon in February, which is kind of crazy,. he tells Architectural Digest.

Lance Armstrong cheats even on his protests. He’s using the business he left behind in Austin to signal virtue from his Aspen, Colorado Fortress of Solitude. First he hacked off the entire police department, now he’s leaving his employees with a ruined customer base in a city whose cops wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.

How are his Woke employees okay with this treatment from what they call a One Percenter? I like rich people (no poor man ever gave me a job) yet I’d be very upset at a multimillionaire boss angering the police in a city he no longer lives in but I do, with my work address on the announcement.

End segue.

These are certainly trying times and we understand people will object to any decision made along these lines.

“We’re doing our part to protect you from police whether you want us to or not.”

Businesses can no longer be non-participants in the communities they serve. We chose what we think will do the most to suture these divides and place our community on the right side of history. We have had to make these choices before when we felt companies whose products we sold put kids at schools at risk of violence.

A reference to Marxists bankrupting firearm manufacturers with endless litigation. Remington is looking shaky at the moment. I couldn’t find a reference of Armstrong participating in that, however.

We lost sales due to this choice. We also saw our former vendors later divest of holdings and we’ve returned to selling these products. We will live with the choices our customers make if they want to buy bikes and bike products somewhere else.

No, his employees will go on unemployment at taxpayer’s expense because getting Woke, going broke is not technically quitting one’s job.

Hmm, he mentioned the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement.

We are committed to the city of Austin and the community of cyclists that we serve every day.

We are not anti-police. We do believe our local police force will protect us from the very threats we are receiving right now.

I’d mock this except Armstrong is already two States away from suffering the consequences of this.

We wish this entire community peace and progress and togetherness at the conclusion of these trying times. And we intend to be a part of the discourse, struggle, and growth for Austin, as we have since we opened our doors in 2008.

#rideyourbike

The hashtag is quite ironic, as Armstrong is doing what he can to ensure people don’t ride bikes any longer and not in safety if they do.

Austin PD should have known better than to do business with an infamous criminal.

Postscript, about the name of “Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop”:

Lance Armstrong’s Business Mocks Him Having Only 1 Testicle

While Lance Armstrong no longer competes in cycling, he’s still very connected to the sport through business. One of his multiple ventures is the Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop in Austin, which opened in 2008 and serves as a riders. destination as well as a place for social gathering.

The name Mellow Johnny’s is a play on the French words “maillot jaune,. which means yellow jersey.

In the context of a lifetime ban from competitive sports, methinks somebody is being a bitter loser.

Inside Mellow Johnny.s, riders, downtown residents, and those visiting the downtown neighborhood can enjoy coffee, smoothies, snacks, or wine and beer, at Juan Pelota, the in-house cafe. Juan is a homophone for the word .one,. and pelota is the Spanish word for ball.

Whether you like him or despise him, Lance Armstrong overcame tremendous odds early in his life in beating cancer. Why he decided to take the path he did after staring down death, only Armstrong knows that answer and must live with that decision. The fact he’s managed to maintain a sense of humor after enduring a career-ending scandal and defeating a disease doctors thought would kill him, is impressive and a credit to his perseverance.

That’s not humor. That’s perversion. Sure, gonad jokes are good for a couple one-liners on the amateur comedy circuit, but actually serving people drinks from his “Juan Pelota” is vile.

Hiding in plain sight.

 

One pic that’s maybe NSFW. After an exhaustive (lazy) search, I have found the perfect incident to describe the Portland situation. One stupid chick put herself in danger then stabs an Antifa chick in the boob, later is found by police but walks free because another Commie terrorist stole the knife she left behind when police tried to do their job.

UPDATE: Stabbing Investigation Ongoing, Involved Parties Have Been Contacted

https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/news/read.cfm?id=251065&ec=2&ch=twitter

3 August 2020

Officers have determined that the stabbing took place in Lownsdale Square park when an adult female suspect entered the park taking photos and/or video.

The alleged stabber, a stupid unescorted female who showed up to a Portland protest with shorts, flip-flops a Karen haircut… and a knife? No man who understands violence would have been so entitled and careless.

An argument ensued between the female and other people in the park. During the argument, the female produced a knife and stabbed another female in the chest. The victim is being treated at a hospital and her injuries appear to be non-life threatening.

Ouch! A Portland boob job! A few inches deeper into her body fat and the “victim” would have been forced to shut up. Fortunately, the knife missed the tramp stamp so she’ll make a full recovery.

The suspect initially left but returned and is being interviewed. There is no known ongoing danger to the community related to this incident.

She had apparently dropped her knife at the scene and gone back for it. Unbelievable.

During the initial response, officers encountered a hostile crowd and additional police resources were summoned to try to conduct an investigation. Officers initially located the knife used in the stabbing, however as the officers were trying to secure a crime scene someone picked it up and ran off with it.

Sweet karma!

Officers were unable to safely conduct an investigation due to the hostile crowd, and supervisors made the decision to disengage. As the knife is evidence, it should be returned to police custody.

Too late, spokeswoman. To put it very clinically, “the chain of evidence has been broken”.

When it’s one person against a group of Communists then lethal force from the one is acceptable. Even if she shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

 

One of the few silver linings of the Plandemic is that our enemies have gone…

From his wikipedia page, “Jim Denison is the founder and CVO of the Denison Forum, a nonprofit Christian media organization that comments on current issues through a biblical lens…. The Denison Forum was founded in February 2009. It was formerly known as the Center for Informed Faith, an independent ministry hosted by the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

He is the Resident Scholar for Ethics with Baylor Scott & White Health, a Senior Fellow with the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative, and a Senior Fellow for Global Studies at Dallas Baptist University, where he heads the Institute for Global Engagement.”

A literal globalist. Per their website, IGE works directly with the Chinese government.

Why America Is So Conflicted over the Pandemic

https://www.christianheadlines.com/columnists/denison-forum/why-america-is-so-conflicted-over-the-pandemic.html

By Jim Denison, 31 July 2020

Oh, I wish America WAS conflicted over the plandemic.

Many school boards across the nation are debating with local health officials and parents over opening school this fall. Some universities are planning to reopen in-person classes, while others are not.

No. Many health officials are issuing illegal dictats to school districts… with resulting chaos over who is responsible for what. We couldn’t obey the government if we wanted to, because the government wants us confused.

Some churches are holding in-person worship services while others are not. Some ministers see restrictions on such worship services as an infringement of our religious freedom while others do not.

Some ministers worship God while the others worship Government. When Christ told us to enter Heaven via the narrow gate, He meant righteousness not the scrawny nerd.

Some theologians believe that Windows being hopelessly susceptible to viruses for its entire design life was a prophetic warning about Bill Gates’ human vaccination program.

Debates are raging over various therapies and the propriety of receiving an eventual vaccine for COVID-19.

Oops, Denison gave away the game with that one. There is no debate. There is only Cancel Culture because a cure too soon would mean no vaccine.

Lazarus delenda est… encore!

Meanwhile, bad news continues to mount. More than 1,400 coronavirus-related deaths were reported nationwide Wednesday, roughly one fatality for every minute of the day.

That’s 1,400 people died who had C-virus, not 1,400 people who died OF C-virus, for a continent-sized nation of 400,000,000. Not accounting for government lying about statistics.

The total number of confirmed cases has passed seventeen million as of this morning.

Not even symptomatic cases.

The US economy contracted by 9.5 percent last quarter in a record decline. The stock market fell more than two hundred points yesterday in response. The chair of the Federal Reserve has warned that the path of the economy depends on the path of the pandemic. And stimulus payments run out today as Congress cannot agree on next steps to provide economic assistance.

Yes, it’s called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. If you print money fast enough then you don’t know how much you actually have at any specific point. Year 2020 might be the first time in history that money got printed faster than the speed of light. It’s no wonder those poor Congressmen are confused by physics! Their only skill is handling mobs like Steve Irwin handled snakes.

I am en fuego today! Enough with the warm-up.

We might think that the worst pandemic and recession in a century would unite us in response, but the opposite seems to be the case. Why?

In an article for the Boston Globe, cultural psychologist and author Michele Gelfand writes: .The decentralized, defiant, do-it-your-own-way norms that make our country so entrepreneurial and creative also deepen our danger during the coronavirus pandemic. To fight this pandemic, we can’t just shift our resources; we have to shift our cultural patterns as well..

In her view, our nation’s conflicted responses to the pandemic “reflect a broader cultural phenomenon. In a loose culture like the United States.s, people are simply not used to tightly coordinating their social action toward a common goal and, compared with other nations, we’re more ambivalent about sacrificing our freedom for strict rules that constrain our choices..

Dr. Gelfand cites the US, Italy, and Brazil…

Bolsonaro specifically?

…as examples of “looser cultures” which “have weaker rules and are much more permissive.” She contrasts them with Singapore, Austria, and China as “tight cultures” which have “many rules and punishments governing social behavior..

The latter have “histories of famine, warfare, natural disasters, and, yes, pathogen outbreaks. and have learned the hard way that “tight rules and order saves lives.”

The Communist Chinese government holds the all-time world record for murdering its own citizens. The competition was fierce but not close. Powerful, centralized government is the primary cause of the world’s wars and, after the invention of refrigeration in the 19th Century, its famines.

Hey, did you know where COVID-19 came from in the first place? CHINA! That beautiful land of .many rules and punishments governing social behavior.. How are they the success story that we should emulate?

Cultures that have faced few threats, such as the US, .have the luxury of remaining loose. They understandably prioritize freedom over constraint, and they are highly creative and open, but also more disorganized than their tight counterparts..

She notes that the US shifted “from loose to tight” during World War II and believes we need to do so again by .temporarily sacrificing liberty for stricter rules. so we can “limit the damage from this disease..

Boom. Plandemic.

But Denison hasn’t yet thrown in his own two cents:

Dr. Gelfand’s cultural analysis is both instructive and illuminating. As a philosopher, however, I would add a second dimension: The “tight” cultures she describes have been less influenced by the Western emphasis on the individual.

America.s founding document proclaims that “all men are created equal” with the individual right to .life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These values have been catalytic to the remarkable achievements and progress of our great nation.

DENISON CHOPPED UP THAT SENTENCE IN ORDER TO GET RID OF GOD!

Quoting the entire sentence, with the portions Denison mentioned in boldface: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

What part got left out? The part about humanity having a Creator who does not see us as cogs in a great machine.

However, since World War II, we have also been influenced by existentialism and postmodern relativism. As a result, we are a .post-truth. culture in which truth and meaning are found in our personal experience. .My truth. is not “your truth,. and vice versa.

No, no, no. There’s no “also” in that. We believed in individualism because God gives us individual souls. That belief ended as our schools, including the seminaries, began teaching existentialism and relativism.

It is logically impossible to be both Christian and “post-truth”.

As a theologian, I would add a third dimension: humans are infected with what Nietzsche called the “will to power.” Because of our fallen nature, we seek to be our own god (Genesis 3:5). This drive for personal power, expressed in a culture that centers on individual rights and happiness, produces the kind of “loose” culture Dr. Gelfand describes.

Denison, we don’t want to be gods. We want to be ourselves. You have a problem with that? Then you have a problem with Christ our Creator.

How does this discussion relate to masks, public worship services, and other pandemic issues that are highly controversial?

A GUIDING PRINCIPLE WE NEED
Some in our .post-truth. culture question scientific arguments for masks and against treatments such as hydroxychloroquine. Our emphasis on individual liberty leads some to resist governmental authority regarding worship, school, and masks.

I can hardly believe that even a fake Christian just said that.

In the midst of this cultural conflict, Christians should adopt Jesus. command to “love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:39) as a guiding principle. Here’s how I understand this command to relate to the pandemic.

I always wear a mask whenever I am around non-family members. I am persuaded by the science that says masks protect others and myself, and I want to do nothing to harm my neighbor. If there is even a chance that not wearing a mask could infect others, I choose not to take that chance. And I choose not to give offense to my neighbor (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:32) who believes that my mask-wearing protects them.

That’s nice, Jimmy boy, it’s really nice that you restructured your life the way you were already going to in order to show what a good boy you are… while demanding that other people believe what you believe and do what you choose to do.

But you made two mistakes.

Number two, what you missed in the Commandment, Jimmy boy, was “love your neighbor AS YOURSELF.” I refuse to wear a mask for YOUR safety and therefore expect, nay, require that you let me be responsible for my own health in return. I don’t force a vaccine on you; you don’t force a vaccine on me. That Commandment is a mandate against hypocrisy, not an unconditional mandate to worship the State as Christ’s successor.

Which brings me to your first mistake. It was indeed a conditional mandate… being the second greatest Commandment.

In-person worship is more contextual. At the chapel where I preach on Sundays, we have chosen to offer virtual worship because we do not believe we can keep our “neighbor” safe at in-person gatherings. Your church may feel differently about your congregation and safety protocols. My point is that you should make loving your neighbor central to your decision.

The FIRST Commandment is to love God above all other loyalties, even above family, and specifically above those “loyalties” that have banned Christianity: banning church attendance, banning Communion, banning baptisms, banning hymn-singing, banning fatherhood and banning obedience to any authority other than the globalist agenda.

If you care more about your neighbor’s health than worshiping God in the ways He decreed then you are an enemy of God and will surely rot in Eternal Hell.

In a “loose” culture driven by individualism and relativism, loving our neighbor as ourselves is a privilege that will make a greater difference than we can imagine, one life at a time.

Who are your neighbors today?

Not you, Jim Denison you false Christian and globalist infiltrator into God’s Church. You are like the Levite in the Parable of the Good Samaritan: a credentialed expert in religion who, upon seeing a man ruined by robbers and needing help, reminded him to cover his face and not visit your church.

For his safety, of course.

 

I’ve tried hard to avoid the burial of BLM terrorist/Congressman John Lewis. This late in the game, everybody should realize that only the most loathsome of humans get a well-attended state funeral send-off like he got. But then a fake missionary chided a decent man for standing against that media circus.

Pastor resigns after celebrating KKK leader

http://www.bpnews.net/55179/pastor-resigns-after-celebrating-kkk-leader

by BP Staff, posted Thursday, July 30, 2020

PRATTVILLE, Ala. (BP) — A bivocational Southern Baptist pastor resigned from his church Wednesday (July 29), after backlash resulting from his participation in an annual birthday celebration for Nathan Bedford Forrest, a leader in the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Will Dismukes, who is also a first-term Republican state representative, resigned from his position at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church after a deacons’ meeting.

State rep AND a pastor? He wasn’t one for honest work, then. *GQ ducks*

Four days earlier, he gave the invocation July 25 at the birthday celebration for Forrest. The event was held in Selma, Ala., on the same day as ceremonies honoring the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

He’s a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans so this wasn’t just American history he was celebrating, it was family history.

Lewis, a leader in the civil rights movement and an Alabama native, was a longtime member of Congress from Georgia. In 1965, during a march in Selma that became known as “Bloody Sunday,” Lewis suffered a fractured skull when he was beaten by Alabama state troopers.

Back then, that’s what happened to trouble-makers. The author might as well have said Lewis was guilty of rioting in 1965.

Segue

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/01/rep_john_lewis_is_an_iconic_racist.html

[In July 2015 and using] a bullhorn, Lewis urges the BLM activists to “change America…you can do it…organize…never give in[.]” In the last 30 seconds, after pumping up the crowd, the Janus-faced Lewis tells them to “never hate” . not because it is wrong or sinful or evil, but because “it is too big a burden to bear.” (Especially when a video surfaces of four black adults torturing a mentally disabled teen shouting, “F— Trump,” “f— white people,” eh, John?)

Lewis’s public and racist swipe at President-Elect Donald Trump this past Sunday isn’t the first time he’s tried to delegitimize the opposition. Lewis falsely accused Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin of “sowing seeds of hatred and division” at their rallies in 2008, even invoking the name of George Wallace to shore up his attack.

In 2010, he ratcheted up the hatred by alleging that Tea Party protesters shouted racial epithets and spat on him during an anti-Obamacare rally. The late Andrew Breitbart offered to pay $100,000 to anyone with proof the racial incidents occurred. At a time and place where nearly everyone had a phone in his hand (I was there), not one video surfaced of Lewis’s spit-riddled face.

Lewis’s Alinskyite tactics have ties to the civil rights movement itself. The roots of the movement beginning in the 1930s are rotten with communist influence. According to Discover the Networks, there is ample evidence that CPUSA members infiltrated SNCC. Seventy-six-year-old Lewis himself wrote for communist periodicals, fronted for communist groups, received awards from socialist organizations, and has supported socialist candidates.

The aging former SNCC leader is still “marinating” in his hatred of white America. After P.E. Trump responded to Lewis with tweets calling out the congressman’s “all talk and no action” record when it comes to fixing the mess in the inner cities, Lewis’s pals in the mainstream media came to his defense, whining about Lewis’s iconic status as a civil rights “hero” .fifty-two years ago! Isn’t that Trump’s point?

Lewis’s socialist solutions and anti-white vitriol hardly make him a hero unless chaining “his people” to poor schools, fatherless homes, and generations of government dependency is heroic.

More to the point, he was a leader of BLM, ensuring that even in these troubled times under President Fauci’s leadership, we have no shortages of bricks and graffiti.

End segue.

In a post to Facebook Sunday (July 26), Dismukes wrote: “Had a great time at Fort Dixie speaking and giving the invocation for Nathan Bedford Forrest annual birthday celebration. Always a great time and sure enough good eating!”

The post was later removed, but Dismukes’ actions drew sharp rebukes and calls to resign both as a pastor and a legislator. He had been pastor at the church, in a rural area near Prattville, since February 2019.

“We are saddened and grieved to learn of the recent Facebook post by state Rep. Will Dismukes,” said Rick Lance, the executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. “… In the wake of tremendous controversy we reaffirm our opposition to any kind of racism.”

Problem glasses. Narrow nose indicates introversion and his mouth is a bit smaller than I would expect for a talky job. A rectangular face indicates bursts of energy rather than a steady supply. Not what I would have expected for a missionary. Let’s check.

The Facebook post included a photo showing Dismukes standing behind various Confederate flags. After initial criticism, he issued an apology. According to the Montgomery Advertiser, he said in a statement that the post “was in no way related to disrespecting the passing of” Lewis.

Never apologize, because…

But the apology, which did not address Dismukes’ participation in the event, was seen by many as insufficient.

Every. Single. Time.

Terry Lathan, chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, said in a statement issued Tuesday that Dismukes “offered no explanation for why he participated in a birthday celebration of Nathan Bedford Forrest,” adding he found Dismukes’ “statement to be shallow in understanding why his activities are deeply offensive to so many Alabamians. His constituents will be the final decision-makers of his political future.

“It is one thing to honor one’s Southern heritage, however, it is completely another issue to specifically commemorate the leader of an organization with an indisputable history of unconscionable actions and atrocities toward African Americans.”

“You can honor Southern heritage generally but not specifically. And not with statues.”

Alabama Sen. Clyde Chambliss, R-Prattville, was among prominent leaders in both political parties calling on Dismukes to resign.

“The post is bad enough, the timing is even worse, but the real problem is that an elected official in 2020 would attend a celebration of life of someone that led a group that terrorized and killed other human beings,” Chambliss wrote in a Facebook post, as reported by the Montgomery Advertiser.

In other news, the pot called the kettle… black.

BLM called, Senator Chambliss. They need a lawyer, real fast. Something about a FedEx driver, a mostly peaceful protest and a wardrobe malfunction.

Wade Perry, executive director of the Alabama Democratic Party, told the Montgomery Advertiser, “It’s 2020 and it’s time for racial extremists like Will Dismukes to go away.” Perry and the party had called in June for Dismukes’ resignation from the state legislature because of his “public support of the lost Confederate cause,” including his role as a chaplain for a local branch of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

This wasn’t the first time the Demonrats tried to get rid of Dismukes for his Confederate advocacy. Dismukes denied them at the time and still hasn’t resigned as a legislator. But he did resign as pastor.

Here’s Rick Lance’s hatchet job.

End preface.

Like so many others, I am heartsick concerning the recent ugly events which have highlighted the sin of racism among us. As one who remembers the civil rights movement and the various efforts by people of the past and present seeking the breakdown of racial barriers that have plagued our society, I grieve over the images of African American people being killed by law enforcement officers and vigilantes.

What vigilantes? Oh right, the convicted-felon jogger being shot for resisting arrest by the now-retired cop who arrested him the first time. Also, watch me not cry about cops whacking “mostly peaceful” African American protesters, either. Vote me for mayor and I will legalize the ugly stick! and tear gas. *singing* Gonna party like it’s Nineteen Sixty-Five…

So, why is racism bad? Serious question, why?

Is it bad because it’s a stereotype that doesn’t apply to every single member of the race? That’s stupid. Nobody argues for that.

Is it bad because racism is about noticing that some races are inferior to others? Deal with it, because noticing is not causation.

What is Lance’s answer?

The following thoughts come from the flawed heart of one who has been saved by God’s grace.

WHERE IS IT?! *GunnerQ rips through his medicine cabinet, grabs a testosterone autoinjector, pops the cap and jabs it in his thigh.* Ahh… whew… just reading this Churchian drivel can make a man cry. I began keeping these autoinjectors handy ever since I wandered into a baby shower.

Prefacing your opinion with your general failure as a human being is an astonishingly bad way to establish your credibility.

I do not wish to be either a social commentator or a partisan in a highly polarized time in our nation. Here is my personal credo concerning racism:

1. I value each life as a precious gift from God. Far too many times, we have seen images on television and in other media outlets which depict life as being disposable and lacking in value. Everyone of all races and backgrounds is made in the image of God! Those words should never be considered as “cheap talk” but as an unchanging and non-negotiable core value.

Racism is bad because… black people have souls? Also stupid.

2. I want to express the fact that I condemn racism in any form. I remember well the civil rights movement decades ago. Progress in race relations seems to have improved, but much work is left to be done. I have heard the words of Simon Peter echoing in my mind as of late, .God is no respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34). He is a God who does not show partiality toward people. He created every life! He wishes to redeem people too!

Racism is bad because it’s favoritism? But we’re supposed to care first for our family. Lance hating on Dismukes for remembering his family history is disobedient against God.

For the record, the reason racism is “bad” is because the Jews want to hide in plain sight. By criminalizing anybody who notices their xenophobia-level racism, they’re free to play favorites with a “you’re being racist” pass in their back pocket. This is also why only white people are capable of racism, because they’re the population the Jews wanted to disarm and destroy after coming here en masse in the wake of WW2.

3. I believe in the right of people to peacefully protest against wrongdoing in our society. People who peacefully protest are seeking to send a message. As an American, that is the right of every citizen. However when people choose to turn violence toward others, then those committing violence do not contribute to the betterment of our way of life. Their actions are wrong and cannot be seen as acceptable in a civil society.

Did Rep. Dismukes advocate violence? Citation, please. Maybe he was ray-ciss for remembering a man with questionable associations but that is not violence.

4. Like you, I want to see better race relations. I would like for us to build upon the contributions of those made in the past. I would say a hearty amen to what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said: .Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In that spirit, I want to be a person of the Light and of God’s love.

Good luck becoming a “person of God’s love” by exterminating your own race and history in the name of not being racist, Lance.

I end with Nathan Forrest because I like remembering my white past. Me so raycisss! The Battle of the Pillow alone made it worthwhile.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Bedford_Forrest

Before the war, Forrest amassed substantial wealth as a cotton plantation owner, horse and cattle trader, real estate broker, and slave trader. In June 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate Army and became one of the few soldiers during the war to enlist as a private and be promoted to general without any prior military training. An expert cavalry leader, Forrest was given command of a corps and established new doctrines for mobile forces, earning the nickname “The Wizard of the Saddle”. His methods influenced future generations of military strategists, although the Confederate high command is seen by some commentators to have underappreciated his talents.

I am impressed that a wealthy plantation owner enlisted as a private. That indicates a humility that history does not directly acknowledge.

In April 1864, in what has been called “one of the bleakest, saddest events of American military history”*, troops under Forrest’s command massacred Union troops who had surrendered, most of them black soldiers, along with some white Southern Tennesseans fighting for the Union, at the Battle of Fort Pillow. Forrest was blamed for the massacre in the Union press, and this news may have strengthened the North’s resolve to win the war.

*Written by David J Eicher in 2002. The 21 Century disagrees much with the 19th and 20th, and not because of a new trove of source material. One reason I persist in using Wikipedia is because it has a Leftist slant. If I can prove my point using Lefty sources then my hardline Right conclusions are that much more secure.

Because of the events at Fort Pillow, the Northern public and press viewed Forrest as a war criminal. The Chicago Tribune said Forrest and his brothers were “slave drivers and woman whippers”, while Forrest himself was described as “mean, vindictive, cruel, and unscrupulous”. The Southern press steadfastly defended Forrest’s reputation.

The North won, thus Forrest is a war criminal?

As a former slave trader and slave owner, Forrest experienced the abolition of slavery at war’s end as a major financial setback. … He later found employment at the Selma-based Marion & Memphis Railroad and eventually became the company president. He was not as successful in railroad promoting as in war and, under his direction, the company went bankrupt. Nearly ruined as the result of this failure, Forrest spent his final days running an eight-hundred acre farm on land he leased on President’s Island in the Mississippi River, where he and his wife lived in a log cabin. There, with the labor of over a hundred prison convicts, he grew corn, potatoes, vegetables and cotton profitably, but his health was in steady decline.

So, definitely a slaver type but not a man who deserves to be written out of the history books for that reason alone. I find prison labor to be a worse offense than slave labor because it creates a financial inventive to falsely accuse a man. Either punish the criminal and return him to society as quickly as reasonable, or just execute them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Fort_Pillow

The Battle of Fort Pillow, also known as the Fort Pillow massacre, was fought on April 12, 1864, at Fort Pillow on the Mississippi River in Henning, Tennessee, during the American Civil War. The battle ended with a massacre of African-American Union troops and their white officers attempting to surrender, by soldiers under the command of Confederate Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Military historian David J. Eicher concluded: “Fort Pillow marked one of the bleakest, saddest events of American military history.”

That name again. Did I mention that Wikipedia is a very Lefty-biased source of information?

It remains unclear whether Forrest ordered the massacre, encouraged it, ignored it, or . as he later claimed . was unaware of it.

The battle happened quickly enough that the latter is plausible.

Needing supplies, Forrest planned to move on Fort Pillow with about 1,500 to 2,500 men. He wrote on April 4, “There is a Federal force of 500 or 600 at Fort Pillow, which I shall attend to in a day or two, as they have horses and supplies which we need.”

The Union garrison at Fort Pillow consisted of about 600 men, divided almost evenly between black and white troops. The black soldiers belonged to the 6th U.S. Regiment Colored Heavy Artillery and a section of the 2nd Colored Light Artillery (previously known as the Memphis Battery Light Artillery (African Descent)), under the overall command of Major Lionel F. Booth, who had been in the fort for only two weeks. Booth had been ordered to move his regiment from Memphis to Fort Pillow on March 28 to augment the cavalry, who had occupied the fort several weeks earlier. Many of the regiment were former slaves who understood the personal cost of a loss to the Confederates.at best an immediate return to slavery rather than being treated as a prisoner of war.

Which would have been so much better?

They had heard that some Confederates threatened to kill any black Union troops they encountered. The white soldiers were predominantly new recruits from Bradford’s Battalion, a Union unit from west Tennessee, commanded by Maj. William F. Bradford.

Forrest arrived at Fort Pillow at 10:00 on April 12. By this time, Chalmers had already surrounded the fort. A stray bullet struck Forrest’s horse, felling the general and bruising him. This was the first of three horses he lost that day.

One tough hombre.

He deployed sharpshooters around the higher ground that overlooked the fort, bringing many of the occupants into their direct line of fire. Major Booth was killed by a sharpshooter’s bullet to the chest and Bradford assumed command. By 11:00, the Confederates had captured two rows of barracks about 150 yd (140 m) from the southern end of the fort. The Union soldiers had failed to destroy these buildings before the Confederates occupied them, and they subjected the garrison to a murderous fire.

Rifle and artillery fire continued until 3:30, when Forrest sent a note demanding surrender: “The conduct of the officers and men garrisoning Fort Pillow has been such as to entitle them to being treated as prisoners of war. I demand the unconditional surrender of the entire garrison, promising that you shall be treated as prisoners of war. My men have just received a fresh supply of ammunition, and from their present position can easily assault and capture the fort. Should my demand be refused, I cannot be responsible for the fate of your command.” Bradford replied, concealing his identity as he did not wish the Confederates to realize that Booth had been killed, requesting an hour for consideration. Forrest, who believed that reinforcing troops would soon arrive by river, replied that he would only allow 20 minutes, and that “If at the expiration of that time the fort is not surrendered, I shall assault it.” Bradford refused this opportunity with a final reply: “I will not surrender.” Forrest then ordered his bugler to sound the charge.

So, Forrest offered a surrender that was rebuffed? Bradford should have known that his position was untenable… green troops surrounded and being picked off by snipers. We know from history that he didn’t have any reinforcements coming so his request for an hour’s delay was simple indecision. I can’t have much sympathy for an outmaneuvered force that refuses surrender until after the final assault begins.

Also, I have ZERO sympathy for the North complaining about war crimes.

The Confederate assault was furious. While the sharpshooters maintained their fire into the fort, a first wave entered the ditch and stood while the second wave used their backs as stepping stones. These men then reached down and helped the first wave scramble up a ledge on the embankment. All of this proceeded flawlessly and with very little firing, except from the sharpshooters and around the flanks. Their fire against the New Era [supporting gunboat] caused the sailors to button up their gun ports and hold their fire.

As the sharpshooters were signaled to hold their fire, the men on the ledge went up and over the embankment, firing now for the first time into the massed defenders. The garrison fought briefly, but then broke and ran to the landing at the foot of the bluff, where they had been told that the Union gunboat would cover their withdrawal by firing grapeshot and canister rounds. Because its gun ports remained sealed, the gunboat did not fire a single shot. The fleeing soldiers were subjected to fire both from the rear and from the flank. Many were shot down. Others reached the river only to drown, or be picked off in the water by marksmen on the bluff.

Although Confederate sources say that Forrest’s forces kept firing in self-defense,[17] some historians and official Union reports emphasize that a deliberate massacre took place. Union survivors claimed that even though all their troops surrendered, Forrest’s men massacred some in cold blood.

I’m sure they did. It’s exactly like Antifa demanding their civil rights after throwing firebombs at riot cops. “But I’m not hurting you RIGHT NOW, am I?”

A 2002 study by Albert Castel concluded that Forrest’s troops had killed a large number of the garrison “after they had either ceased resisting or were incapable of resistance”. Historian Andrew Ward in 2005 reached the conclusion that an atrocity in the modern sense occurred at Fort Pillow, but that the event was not premeditated nor officially sanctioned by Confederate commanders.

Recent histories concur that a massacre occurred.

Yes, the recent histories written by radicalized “historians” convinced that the Confederacy were inhuman slaving slave-trading slavers who were the only such slavers in all of human history and could not possibly have been capable of humanity.

We get it. The North won. But that doesn’t mean General Forrest was a murderer anymore than Ex-Slave Owner Forrest being part of the KKK made him a inhuman racist. To wit, going back to Forrest’s entry:

After the lynch mob murder of four blacks who had been arrested for defending themselves in a brawl at a barbecue, Forrest wrote to Tennessee Governor John C. Brown in August 1874 and “volunteered to help ‘exterminate’ those men responsible for the continued violence against the blacks”, offering “to exterminate the white marauders who disgrace their race by this cowardly murder of Negroes”.

Thus Spake the KKK Grand Vizier?

It’s a pity that Social Justice Warriors lack the attention span for more than a slogan. They might have been able to appreciate how the greats of history could be flawed as well as great, instead of reducing the life of Nathan Forrest to “punch a Nazi!”

 

I almost passed on this headline about a chief of medical staff dying of Kung Flu because if any healthy man is going to die from it, the healthy man being exposed to every variant of the disease in a major city is a good bet. But then I saw his face and knew there was more to the story.

Joseph Costa: Baltimore ICU Doctor Dies of COVID-19 Coronavirus

Dr. Joseph Costa, head of the division of critical care at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, died on July 25 after a month-long battle with COVID-19, the hospital confirmed to Heavy. He was 56 years old.

He contracted the coronavirus while he was treating patients and began having symptoms in late June, according to The Washington Post.

A little young to be that old, but being on the frontline does carry some risks.

Whoa. Those eyes are very unbalanced, the left (inner) eye being a solid New Moon indicating deception. He’s got something going on in his personal life… something that perhaps made him susceptible to COVID-19? Other than his work?

The top third of his head is the biggest, indicating a primarily intellectual orientation in life.

About 20 colleagues held a vigil and put their hands on him as Costa lay dying, the Baltimore Sun reported. At around 4:45 a.m. on Saturday, he died in the arms of David Hart, his husband of 28 years.

There it is. He was homosexual. I didn’t know that just from his eyes, mind, only that he had something going on in his personal life.

Hart, who told the Baltimore Sun that his husband was the bravest man he ever knew, said he gets very angry when he sees people not wearing masks. .It makes me want to take a bar of soap and write on my car’s rearview window that my husband who saved so many lives died of COVID-19. Wear a mask!’.

.This disease will take you out in a heartbeat,. he said to the Washington Post.

A brazen, Christ-hating member of a subculture notorious for spreading incurable diseases thinks the problem is Normies not wearing masks.

As the pandemic has spread across the country, 574 healthcare personnel have died of COVID-19, which is likely an underestimation due to incomplete data, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That’s a lie. No group is more likely to be accurately tracked.

Costa held a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Virginia and received his medical education at the University of Maryland, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society, a national honorary society for top-performing medical students.

He graduated in 1990 and completed his residency at the University of Maryland, according to Mercy Medical Center spokesperson Dan Collins. He joined Mercy in 1997, with specialties in pulmonary and critical care, the hospital website shows. He also had board certifications in internal medicine.

Costa became chief of critical care in 2005 and served as an officer of the Mercy medical staff from 2010 to 2016, the hospital said. His roles included secretary/treasurer, vice president and president.

That sounds like a very fast rise in status, fifteen years from starting his residency to chief of critical care at a major hospital. There was a time I would have assumed he was very capable, but now I know that Sodomites are a major Deep State subculture. They network, protect, and promote each other ahead of Normies.

Apart from his clinical responsibilities, he was also “deeply dedicated to Mercy’s mission and values,. according to the hospital. He chaired Mercy’s Medical Morals Committee and served as a member of the Mercy Health Services Board of Trustees Mission and Corporate Ethics Committee.

Hella suspicious for a homosexual to be in such positions. One of those “ethics” he upheld was probably the marginalization and extermination of Christianity because it teaches his chosen life path is an abomination.

Costa’s death from COVID was a suicide:

Before he got sick, Costa remained on the frontlines even though he had a rare underlying autoimmune disorder, according to the Washington Post. Hart said in an interview with the Post that during the pandemic his husband “felt it was important to shoulder the same risks” as his staff.

It’s one thing to risk getting the plague. It’s another to guarantee it. No doctor with any autoimmune disorder belongs in the sick wards. Any doctor choosing to run that kind of a risk is not a victim.

I can’t feel bad that an unrepentant homosexual chairing a Morality Committee died of his suicidal behavior… but his death certificate says COVID-19.

 

More schadenfreude on my popcorn, please.

I.m a teacher headed back to school next month. It’s going to be traumatic.

htt ps://co.chalkbeat.org/2020/7/29/21345927/im-a-teacher-headed-back-to-school-next-month-its-going-to-be-traumatic

By Autumn Jones, 29 July 2020

Last week, the Colorado district where I teach announced schools would return August 18 for a hybrid of in-person and remote learning. That means that teachers must face the reality of walking into a school building where little of what we were taught about being a teacher will apply. We will be expected at school five days a week, teaching alternating groups of students while also providing remote instruction for those learning from home.

It is bound to be a shock . one that we’ll be absorbing just as many of us are coming to terms with the upheaval caused by the emergency school closures of March 12, 2020.

But… teachers are salaried, not hourly. Her summer vacation was six months long this year.

We are about to encounter a teacher mental health crisis of massive proportions. In the crucial conversation about how we make things right for our students . and we must . we cannot disregard the well-being of educators.

Autumn’s hair has every reason to be concerned about her mental health, being frizzy enough to defy a perm. But the rest is not unusual. The concave nose indicates openness and spontaneity, compared to the convex, “hawk” nose’s shrewdness. Eyebrows thicker on the inside are “visionary” as opposed to “managerial” so she’s probably not that good with paperwork, but handling kids seems a fine fit for that personality.

A little upper eyelid is showing on each eye, meaning she’s emotionally balanced towards the outside world. Chin is not masculinized.

She has a receding jaw… while I can’t normally tell from a frontal selfie, that overbite is suggestive. Such people tend to be highly ethical, meaning they follow their beliefs closely. She isn’t baring enough of the upper gum in this smile for me to think her main belief is ego but I can believe it’s a short trip.

Conclusion, she could have been a normal woman, liking kids and enjoying life spontaneously. But she wandered off the straight path, probably the cock carousel, until like her hair she became tightly wound and fraying at the edges. School politics probably didn’t help. Chinavirus certainly didn’t.

In this moment, our school leaders should be asking: What is being done to support the emotional needs of the teachers? Do they sleep well at night? Are they equipped with the psychological tools to return to an unfamiliar-looking building where they, in turn, are expected to be the emotional and academic cheerleaders for their students? What happens when, instead of getting the virus, we see educators experience anxiety, panic attacks, or stress-induced ailments? Do schools have the necessary supports in place to care for the mental health of its educators?

Normal human beings don’t call schoolteachers “educators”. That’s bureaucrat talk.

I would love to see our schools provide teachers with a mental health day…

They’re called Saturdays.

…debriefings with counselors, dedicated meditation spaces…

Sorry, tits, we already turned that into a lactation room.

…and “break cards” that teachers could use to call an administrator or a member of the support staff into their classroom . no questions asked . should they need time to recenter.

Because even on a normal day in a normal year, teachers are overwhelmed. Heck, I cried in front of 35 seventh-graders on a day when their challenging dynamic proved too much for my well-versed classroom management skills.

Last year’s difficulties pale in comparison to the coming year’s expectations.

I am facing a compounding difficulty in planning for the classes I am supposed to teach . robotics, multimedia, yearbook, and graphic design. When I look through the lesson plans I created for these classes last year, I see things like group work, partner activities, hands-on building, shared classroom materials, exploratory learning, icebreakers, flexible seating, flipped instruction, and Jolly Rancher Fridays.

Boo-hoo. I have to place building foundations in exactly the right place or I’ll get sued for eight digits, all while writing legal documents and training the new guy. Your Jolly Rancher Fridays do not stack up against my failing retaining walls.

I’m not completely unsympathetic–my church fed me to the seventh graders then refused to support my efforts to remove the bad apples, so I know exactly the kind of breakdown she’s describing–but the reason she’s stressed has nothing to do with kids or viruses, and everything to do with school administrators.

Don’t blame the kids, Barbie, or the kids might think the problem is their fault. It is not.

I have to rethink every single one of these things through the lens of .don’t touch, don’t share, don’t get too close..

Then don’t do it. Do what has worked for you instead and when administrators complain you’re spreading the Spanish Flu of 1918, tell them you aren’t going to change. Maybe they’ll fire you and maybe they’ll back down… either will reduce your stress load. Many teachers have been NOT fired over much worse.

Give your students the gift of a normal childhood.

Every assignment will be individual. Most of what I’ve learned about classroom management and responsive education goes out the door. The high fives and handshakes upon entering, for example. The tennis ball that we pass around when we’re taking turns speaking. The use of proximity to corral an off-task student.

Again, give your students the gift of a normal childhood.

The most traumatic part for me is not whether or not we are in the physical school building; it is that students won’t be able to act like children and teachers won’t be able to act like educators . at least not in the traditional sense.

When she’s right, she’s right. And here, she’s totally right.

Try telling a kindergartener that he can’t be on the playground with his friends. Try telling a middle schooler that she can’t swap scrunchies with her girlfriends (and, yes, scrunchies are back). Try telling a high school student in a P.E. class that he can’t play basketball because it’s just too risky to share a ball and guard other players. Try telling an aspiring engineer that she can’t use the classroom materials to build the robot she had been developing.

Autumn’s complaint is fully legit. What is stressful about the coming school year is not that sixth graders will act like sixth graders. It’s that SIXTH GRADERS WON’T BE ALLOWED TO ACT LIKE SIXTH GRADERS.

COVID-19 has nothing to do with medicine. It has everything to do with population control. It is the most malevolent piece of social engineering since the Khmer Rouge declared “everybody is now a farmer. Empty the cities at gunpoint”.

No teacher knows how to handle these scenarios. There was nothing in my bachelor’s or master’s programs that prepared me for this. Nothing in my student teacher training or my four years of leading a classroom. And if we experienced teachers are floundering, imagine what a first-year teacher must feel like right now.

We menfolk know how to handle this: all the rope in Texas and a big oak tree. Punishing simple violence is wrong because some violent people are the good guys. But women can’t see this. It’s really not their job to see when a leader of society needs a stretching for child cruelty.

How did this come to pass? The extermination of fathers. No father worth the vertebra in his spine would tolerate his child being treated worse than a lifer on Death Row. But fathers are no longer allowed in their childrens’ lives.

I wish I could say, .I have a solution!. or that I even have the faintest idea of how things will play out in the coming months. What I do know is that teachers are going through a really hard time as they face the uncertainties and attempt to help their students deal with this moment, too. There’s not exactly a “Returning to School in a Pandemic” guidebook for students or teachers.

Teachers need your friendship, your love, and your encouragement now more than ever. They need to know that they are heard and that their fears are valid.

I have a solution! Teachers need to go back to their husbands. This problem was created by women replacing their husbands with the State, so the solution is to replace the State with husbands… restoring God’s natural order for society. Everything else is, to use the medical term, palliative care.

The problem is not that female rebellion had consequences. The problem is female rebellion.

Teachers may not be able to conquer as much curriculum as in years past, and the ways they teach may be limited . not by their own creativity, but by the safety protocols in place. They also may need the option to step out of the classroom, collect themselves and begin again (see: “break cards.). Understand that they still love your children, our children, and want the best possible education for each and every one of them. Presume positive intentions.

Autumn, if you loved those children then you wouldn’t treat them like disease vectors. In fact, it would be enough to love your husband. He could give you the strength to do what needs to be done.

They also need to know that you will support them in whatever decisions they make. For some, returning to the classroom is going to be too much, and that is OK. Don’t crucify them for honoring their mental health. For others, a really tough day in the classroom may mean that they can’t muster the energy to go to your social event. Don’t hold it against them.

Also, please be cautious when posting your opinions about the return-to-school on social media. It can be a volatile place and, of late, a toxic space of politicization. Recognize that active listening instead of active shouting may be in everybody’s best interest.

Pray for teachers. Please pray for me. There’s a long road ahead, and we teachers need all the help we can get.

I pray you “ed-zoo-caterers” would put down your boxed wine and cats, quit complaining and repent on your knees to God and Husband for opening school-sized doors for the wicked to come in and rule over you. The window for repentance is closing swiftly.

 

If there’s one reason to distrust the modern medical profession, it’s their fear-mongering us over a disease so lethal that most people need a blood test to know whether they’re sick. If there’s a second reason to distrust the quacks, it’s what qualifies as “peer review” these days. On that note, CHICKS IN THONGS! Let’s review some peers!

H/T Adam Piggott.

Costa Rica has… mountains.

Doctor Geisha, excuse me, Doctor Kesia. She already makes me feel better!

EYE BLEACH! That was a vascular surgery patient, not a vascular surgery doctor. My bad. Dayumn, even the SI swimsuit issue is showing the fattening effects of the summer lockdown.

No, no, I’m serious. What we just did was peer review.

Prevalence of unprofessional social media content among young vascular surgeons

Journal of Vascular Surgery
Volume 72, Issue 2, August 2020, Pages 667-671

Sourced from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S074152141932587X

“Presented at the Forty-seventh Annual Symposium of the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery, Boca Raton, Fla, March 16-20, 2019.” Nobody noticed at the time, of course, because nobody goes to a symposium at a Florida resort to stay indoors and discuss paperwork.

Objective

It has been demonstrated that publicly available social media content may affect patient choice of physician, hospital, and medical facility. Furthermore, such content has the potential to affect professional reputation among peers and employers. Our goal was to evaluate the extent of unprofessional social media content among recent vascular surgery fellows and residents.

Best. Dissertation topic. Ever.

Methods

The Association of Program Directors in Vascular Surgery directory was used to compile a list of graduating vascular surgery trainees from 2016 to 2018. Neutral Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts were used to search for publicly available information. All content was screened by two separate investigators for prespecified clearly unprofessional or potentially unprofessional content. Clearly unprofessional content included: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act violations, intoxicated appearance, unlawful behavior, possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia, and uncensored profanity or offensive comments about colleagues/work/patients.

What’s wrong with drinking outside work? You wouldn’t want a doctor who can’t unwind.

Potentially unprofessional content included: holding/consuming alcohol, inappropriate attire, censored profanity, controversial political or religious comments, and controversial social topics. Descriptive data were compiled and Fisher exact test was used for categorical comparisons.

Uh-oh. I don’t suppose the authors were Christians looking for heretics and nobody tried to define what the boldfaced meant. This might have been a witch hunt rather than a chick hunt. Epic backfire if so, however, because notice they also included “inappropriate attire”. Which meant girls being PRETTY in swimwear!

This is Erica Mitchell, the only female co-author. Glossy hair is nice but I see a lot of masculinization in her face. Angled eyebrows, hooded upper eyelids, flattened lower eyelids, a jawline feminine in adolescence but since bulked out with proto-jowls and a lower lip thicker than the upper lip. Prominent cheekbones indicating social dominance. Not sure what her pencil neck indicates other than frailty.

I find confirmation in her parting her hair for transitioning to a “Karen” haircut. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of that hair is a wig, considering this pic was taken in a studio. Conclusion: ball-busting feminist dyke.

Results

Omitting statistical analyses.

There were 480 vascular surgeons identified. 325 (68%) were male, 456 (95%) held MD degrees, and 115 (24%) were integrated (0 + 5) vascular surgery residents. Of these, 235 had publicly identifiable social media accounts across all platforms.

Assuming all wimminz were on social media, only one-quarter of men were dumb enough to have easily traceable social media accounts. Not bad.

Sixty-one (26%) account holders had either clearly unprofessional or potentially unprofessional content. Eight accounts (3.4%) contained content categorized as clearly unprofessional: obvious alcohol intoxication in three Facebook accounts and uncensored profanity or offensive comments about colleagues/work/patients in one Facebook and five Twitter accounts. Potentially unprofessional content appeared in 58 accounts (25%) and included holding/consuming alcohol (29 accounts, 12.3%), controversial political comments (22 accounts, 9.4%), inappropriate/offensive attire (9 accounts, 3.8%), censored profanity (8 accounts, 3.4%), controversial social topics (6 accounts, 2.5%), and controversial religious comments (2 accounts, .9%).

Let’s do all of them at once!

There was no significant difference in unprofessional content across sex, training paradigm (MD vs non-MD), or residency track. However, there was more unprofessional content for those who self-identified as vascular surgeons.

Conclusions

One-half of recent and soon to be graduating vascular surgery trainees had an identifiable social media account with more than one-quarter of these containing unprofessional content.

Hello, wimminz!

Account holders who self-identified as vascular surgeons were more likely to be associated with unprofessional social media behavior. Young surgeons should be aware of the permanent public exposure of unprofessional content that can be accessed by peers, patients, and current/future employers.

Not really permanent when most of the female vascular surgeons want to attract a husband rather than practice specialty medicine in a very unstable workplace.

This is a postcard of what Dalrock called “female territory marking”.

Sexism is alive and well when the competence of vascular surgeons is judged by what they wear on holiday

By Harriet Hall, 28 July 2020

This is Harriet Hall. I hope her preferred pronouns are weirdo, ugly and fake.

Straight off the bat, I might as well admit that I’m not an avid reader of the Journal of Vascular Surgery…

Weirdo.

…but I’d be tempted to make a wild assumption (.ass., I know… .you and me.) about its typical contents: veins, arteries, lymphatic vessels and ideas backed up by scrupulous peer-reviewed research with which to maintain the respective healthy functioning of each.

Which is why I was surprised to read about a study published in said esteemed journal on something quite different: the “prevalence of unprofessional social media content among young vascular surgeons.” The study claimed to be concerned with the impact a surgeon’s public social media account might have on their professional reputation and a prospective patient’s choice of surgeon. What resourceful use of scarce scientific funding.

The journal was obviously getting low on publishable content. Complaining about the death rates from being shut down to reserve hospitals for plague carts that never showed up, however, would have been politically incorrect, so instead they tried to focus on the politically incorrect behavior of individual dissidents.

Only for the effort to be derailed by Doctor Karen getting catty against the pretty girls.

The scientists involved, from the Boston Medical Centre and Salem Health Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, compiled a list of 480 graduating trainees and screened their publicly available social media activity, taking into account any “clearly unprofessional content” including unlawful behaviour and profanities about colleagues, as well as any “potentially unprofessional content” including .holding/consuming alcohol., discussion of any “controversial topics” and “inappropriate attire.” The latter was categorised as “pictures in underwear, provocative Halloween costume and provocative posing in bikinis/swimwear.. Six out of seven of the study’s authors responsible for defining what was “inappropriate attire” behaviour were . and I’m sure this comes as a huge shock . male.

Both sexes are interested in detecting inappropriate attire. Men to enjoy it, pretty women to model it and ugly women to punish it.

This is what happens when you put women into STEM. Wimminz gonna wammin.

In response to the publication of the research, female surgeons began sharing photographs of themselves across social media wearing bikinis using the hashtag #MedBikini. .I am a woman in medicine who loves to travel to tropical locations and dress accordingly,. captioned one. .I will not wear my white coat and scrubs to Hawaii..

Cute, but she comes with a blue check mark and $250k in student loans. Pass.

Other women began sharing the sexism they.d experienced at work, contrasted with the professionalism experienced by their male colleagues. The journal has since apologised and pledged to take .resolute steps to improve our review process and increase diversity of our editorial boards.. But that’s not really the point, is it?

Hastily making apologies after the fact is rather less effective in tackling diversity than simply not operating in a sexist manner in the first place. A lack of “diversity” also feels like a feeble attempt at an excuse when we’re talking about half of the population.

Good point. Apologizing for hating on alcohol and bikinis is one thing. Promising to set it right by exterminating the whiteness of the organization is quite the non sequiter.

Although only 20 per cent of surgeons in the UK are women, a figure that drops to 8 per cent for vascular surgeons, the journal’s review board is clearly not representative of the profession, let alone aspirational or attempting to lead change, given their response. Even if there weren’t many female peer reviewers available for this paper, you.d hope that by now men at the top of their professional careers would be capable of understanding that categorising women on the perceived “inappropriateness” of their clothes isn’t really the done thing anymore. It’s not as though we’ve kept it quiet that we’re been judged more harshly than our male peers for the last 2,000 years.

Ah, the gnashing of ugly Karen’s teeth. “Although only 8 percent of vascular surgeons are female, they should have let us women be in charge!”

It.s more than just a case of tokenistic representation. Not having women at the top of medicine is a significant contributing factor in the dismissal of female health issues, with conditions such as endometriosis often taking years to be correctly diagnosed. Female pain is not equal.

Female health is so dramatically overfunded in comparison to male health that this isn’t funny. The idea that white men hoard all the resources simply because white men are at the top is pure projection of what women will do given the opportunity.

Women don’t want power and money in order to apply it to something. They want power and money as ends in themselves.

The study into bikini-wearing surgeons is not an anomaly. Employers just can’t seem to leave the matter of women’s clothing alone. Just last week an employment law firm released a study that found a third of women to have been asked to dress in a more sexually appealing way or put more make-up on for video calls while working remotely, as if dealing with a pandemic and the lion’s share of the childcare wasn’t enough to be dealing with right now.

Sex sells, Karen. Deal with it. Oh, right, you’re an ugly trannie weirdo who no longer has the ability to be sexy. No husband. No babies. No home except that cubicle at a British tabloid that you thought would be empowering. It’s a, ahem, *pretty* good picture of Hell.

When men enter the workplace, they might shave and iron their shirt, but they don’t worry if their forearms might provoke a sexualised outburst from a colleague or if their visible kneecaps could disenchant their boss to promote them.

Men spend many hours in the gym building up the kind of muscles that women can’t keep their hands off of. We LIKE female attention but you witches…

Meh, I can’t continue. Women in bikinis these days are gold rings in pig snouts. This is all about the weaponization of female sexuality, not a drop of which is for men to actually enjoy. At least, enjoy being the point of Barbie paying for med school with a Pornhub account.

 

What happens when a stadium isn’t allowed to have spectators? It puts mannequins in the seats instead. What happens when store mannequins don’t have “derrieres” that fit properly in the seats? It uses sex dolls.

Sex dolls with boobs big enough to be visible from the field!

SKorean soccer team accused of putting sex dolls in seats

htt ps://apnews.com/ab87492351eb6ed6fc7012bbe5b9fc74

The leaders of a South Korean soccer club might be feeling like boobs after they were exposed for using sex dolls to make an empty stadium look full of fans.

FC Seoul placed 30 mannequins around its stadium for a game against Gwangju FC, adding signs of life to stands void of spectators because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Seoul club said in a statement it believed the figures were ordinary mannequins.

I could support a New Normal of D-cups and 0.8 hip ratios.

The action on the field must not have been that great. People watching quickly noticed that some of the fake fans wore clothing advertising sex toys and that many of them were especially busty. As the BBC noted, pornography is banned in South Korea.

Translation, flat-chested Korean wimminz who didn’t care about the ball game quickly noticed their competition for the Ex Games!

.We had tried to add some fun in the no-spectator match,. FC Seoul said in a statement, according to The New York Times. “But we have not checked all the details, and that is clearly our fault.” The Associated Press said the team expressed “sincere remorse..

Remorse about being caught… but I can’t be angry about their fibbing this time!

The team said it was assured by the doll supplier that the figures weren’t sex products. FC Seoul didn’t explain why it chose Dalkom, a company known for sex dolls, for the job.

Boys will be boys. Good show, FC Seoul!

This could catch on. My local restaurants are already putting giant stuffed animals into seats to encourage social distancing… and staff is already wiping them down between customers anyway… AND there’s no risk of false rape accusations!

 

This is a topic I’ve been having suspicions and hearing stories about: the COVID scare is killing more people than the COVID itself. Even before accounting for government cooking the books.

https://www.studyfinds.org/u-s-death-rate-soaring-but-more-than-a-third-are-not-caused-by-covid-19/

By Chris Melore, 5 July 2020

Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth and Yale universities say the nation saw over 87,000 more deaths than the average for March and April. The report finds COVID-19 is directly responsible for only 65 percent of those fatalities. In 14 states, including California and Texas, more than half of the excess deaths were tied to a cause other than coronavirus.

Lead author Steven Woolf says some of these deaths may reflect medical officials under-reporting COVID-19 cases.

No. Not when they get, last I checked, $13k every time they report COVID.

The heart disease graph is alarmist because the spike is mostly NYC not a full state. (Cuomo scared his people to death?) The increases for states is statistically significant but not so world-ending. Exception for Alzheimer’s in New Jersey?

So, reductions in medical care availability led directly to increased deaths. It was not acceptable for Fauci & Friends to be wrong on their death-toll predictions by three orders of magnitude.

Woolf believes there could be another reason for the dramatic rise in non-coronavirus deaths: the pandemic’s impact on society has been just as devastating.

.A third possibility, the one we’re quite concerned about, is indirect mortality . deaths caused by the response to the pandemic,. explains Woolf, the director emeritus of VCU.s Center on Society and Health. .People who never had the virus may have died from other causes because of the spillover effects of the pandemic, such as delayed medical care, economic hardship or emotional distress..

Compared to January and February averages, diabetes deaths rose by 96 percent in those states. Deaths tied to heart disease (89%), Alzheimer’s disease (64%), and stroke (35%) also saw disturbing jumps. The study adds deaths in New York City due to heart disease and diabetes both rose by over 350 percent during that time.

Researchers believe fear of getting infected with COVID-19 is keeping many people from seeking proper medical care. The study adds patients in the hardest hit areas may not be getting enough care because local hospitals are overwhelmed with coronavirus cases.

.We can’t forget about mental health,. says Woolf. .A number of people struggling with depression, addiction and very difficult economic conditions caused by lockdowns may have become increasingly desperate, and some may have died by suicide..

Another article:

htt ps://heavy.com/news/2020/07/florida-covid-19-death-rate-by-age/

The State of Florida also releases detailed daily statistics of Florida COVID-19 deaths here. It includes the county, whether the person had recent travel, and whether they were a Florida resident. Here is what the statistics show:

It shows a normal picture: the young get sick the most because they’re the most socially active but it’s the elderly who actually die. No amount of social engineering is going to change that.

4,242 deaths from 266,119 infections is a 1.6% fatality rate, for a state famous as both a retirement destination and a resort. The hospitalization/death rates for children is zero but that won’t change their New Normal of socially isolated schooling this Fall.

Still no hard data on suicide rates.

 

Now that physical churches and public hymn-singing are banned as disease vectors, we should focus on the good side of virtual Christianity instead of defying evil!

3 benefits of online church vs. church in person

https://www.christianpost.com/voices/3-benefits-of-online-church-vs-church-in-person.html

By Greg Stier, Christian Post Guest Columnist, 18 July 2020

Stier is founder & CEO of the poorly defined Dare2Share Christian speaking organization. Bio from its website:

Greg.s commitment to mobilizing teenagers to reach their generation for Christ is rooted in the transforming power of the gospel. Raised in a violent, inner-city family of body-builders, he never had a dad and never felt like he measured up because his biceps weren’t big enough! But one by one, he saw his tough, urban family of “thugs” come to know Christ. And that ignited a passion in Greg to see all lost people come to know Jesus.

Living just minutes away from the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings in the Denver area, the tragedy triggered a pivotal turning point in Greg’s career. Following those events, he resigned a pastorate at a church in Arvada, Colorado, to pursue Dare 2 Share (D2S) full-time. Since then, Greg and the ministry of D2S have impacted the lives of hundreds of thousand teenagers across the country, motivating and equipping them to relationally reach out to those who don’t know Jesus with the gospel message of hope.

I see red flags in his fatherlessness, lack of self-confidence and most particularly, his failing to overcome those two handicaps prior to becoming a pastor living in the same metro area as a violent scandal that didn’t personally affect him.

His face shows a lot of emotional stress & defensiveness. Overall, an excellent background to produce the kind of Cuckservative Christian who sees religion as an emotional crutch and nonjudgmental father figure… which is not what fatherhood is about, frankly. Daddy’s favorite word is “No”.

On to the article.

Our family normally attends Red Rocks Church here in the great state of Colorado. But, for the last few months, “attending” has been “logging in” and watching the church services online.

While there are some churches in our state that have started to meet in person again (with limited numbers), our church has chosen to continue to meet online for awhile longer. After all, online viewership is through the roof!

In retail, switching to a virtual storefront is referred to as a “last gasp”. That will remain true for churches of a religion whose deity mandates in-person meetings and laying hands on each other. But yes, forcing your in-person customers to use your social media does create a brief surge in social media usage, until they wonder why they’re paying you full price for what they can get at an “Internet discount” elsewhere.

Thankfully, not all churches are quietly. embracing their obsolescence. Behold California outperforming Colorado!

https://www.christianpost.com/news/3-churches-sue-california-over-singing-ban-say-it-violates-1st-14th-amendments.html

Three California churches have filed a lawsuit against Gov. Gavin Newsom and several state health officials for a ban on singing during church services, arguing that it violates the First and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in Redding by a team of lawyers from the American Center for Law and Justice, Tyler & Bursch, The National Center for Law and Policy, and Advocates for Faith & Freedom.

Redding is in northern California, the part that keeps trying to secede but can’t because Sodom somehow gets a veto. Gov. Newscum has even gotten into the habit of threatening to withhold grant money from local governments there if they disobey his dictats. Not a peep from criminal justice types about such blatant extortion.

.Let me be clear, the State does not have the jurisdiction to ban houses of worship from singing praises to God,. Robert Tyler, partner at Tyler & Bursch, LLP, said in an ACLJ release.

Preach, brother!

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit were listed as Calvary Chapel in Ukiah, Calvary Chapel Fort Bragg and the River of Life Church in Oroville.

.Singing in church is a biblical mandate,. Kevin Green, pastor of Calvary Chapel in Fort Bragg, told the Los Angeles Times.

If your church doesn’t care that much then your church ain’t salt nor shit.

In new guidelines issued on July 1, in the face of rising COVID-19 cases, public health officials in California said singing and chanting in houses of worship must not happen because the activity posed a threat to public health.

.Even with adherence to physical distancing, convening in a congregational setting of multiple different households to practice a personal faith carries a relatively higher risk for widespread transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and may result in increased rates of infection, hospitalization, and death, especially among more vulnerable populations,. health officials said in the new guidelines document.

.In particular, activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing. *Places of worship must therefore discontinue singing and chanting activities and limit indoor attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower,. they advised.

Baptism? Banned. Communion? Banned. Jesus? Racist. We must have six feet of separation! because five feet would be chaos and none at all, divine.

…A report from the Skagit County Public Health Department in Washington state published by the CDC in May showed how quickly the coronavirus spread after a choir practice became a “superspreader event” for the virus that infected 86% of attending members and killed two of them.

It’s all about the infections for the Children of the Lie, not about the actual harm done by COVID. The choir incident, as in “one single incident”, was also before effective treatments for Wu Flu had been developed… and banned by the same people screeching fear at us.

End segue

Of course, there’s nothing like meeting together as a church family. From fellowship in the lobby to worship in the sanctuary to going out for lunch afterwards to gathering together during the week for small group, there’s something about the in-room experience that can never be truly and fully duplicated online.

But, instead of whining about what we miss attending in-person church services, the Stier family has chosen to play the advantages of experiencing church online.

The most reliable indicator of a Cuckservative is his habit of undermining his own arguments. He can’t tell which argument will hurt a POC’s fee-fees so he hedges everything.

Then the POCs get offended anyway. As if their goal is to hurt you and cause trouble.

Here are three Big Benefits of attending church online:

Big Benefit #1: We get to roll out of bed, log on and experience church with little effort.

*checks* Christian Post is not a known satire site.

Sure, there have been a few Sundays we have missed online services since COVID-19 struck. Once in awhile, one of us has to watch the service at a different time. But, more often than not, we have watched Sunday morning services together as a family since this whole pandemic started. One of the reasons is that it’s so darn easy just to tune in and watch.

How often do you get to watch church in your pajamas? How often can you go and refill your coffee right in the middle of the church service without someone glaring at you? How often can you lay down on the couch during the second point of the sermon?

Online church is easy.

*double checks* Christian Post is not a known satire site.

Nothing makes Jesus more proud to claim you as a follower than watching you publicly brag about how little effort you make on His behalf.

Big Benefit #2: We often have amazing conversations during the sermon.

I love it when my two teenaged kids ask questions like, “What does he mean by that?” or “Where does the Bible say that?” or “Is that really true?” or anything that forces us as parents to open the Scriptures and dive in. One of the great things about online services is that you can put them on pause and get into a conversation about what is actually being taught right at that very moment.

Okay… that’s a valid point… I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop…

Of course you can have those conversations after regular in-person church services in the car ride home too. But by the time you leave the sanctuary, say your goodbye’s in the foyer and walk across the parking lot to get to your car and rush off to lunch, the questions/comments you may have had during the sermon most likely have been forgotten.

*thump* Ahh, there it is. God’s church does not make sufficient allowances for illiteracy and short attention spans! When I was a kid, I carried my own Bible to church, looked stuff up while the pastor was speaking, which he footnoted while he spoke anyway, and if I remembered the main verse next Sunday then I got a piece of candy.

Big Blessing #3: We leave with an action plan for the week.

God forbid you have to run your own life.

Discovery Bible Study has a list of questions that they encourage every person in their Bible studies to ask and answer. It’s all designed to lead to, what they have nicknamed, “Obedience based Bible Studies.” After all God calls us to “be doers of the Word and not hearers only” according to James 1:22.

Scripture doesn’t care if your wife goes topless to Virtual Church but if her head isn’t covered then she’s not a “doer of the Word” and neither is her husband.

In that spirit, we all answer three questions every Sunday after the sermon is preached. Here they are:

1) What did you learn (or what were you reminded of) from today’s sermon?

Black Lives Matter!

2) How are you going to apply what you learned this week?

3) Who are you going to tell (either what you learned or about Jesus)?

Because the sermon is so top-of-mind for all of us these are easy questions to ask and answer on the spot. After we have gone around the circle and answered these questions we finish with a family prayer for strength to live out what we have learned and that God would give each of us the opportunity to share the gospel with someone that week.

You moron Stier, first you let your church close because the State ordered it then, what? You go around telling people that Jesus is God? Your own actions demonstrate that the State is a more important god than God Himself.

Heck, I was sharing the gospel of “Come to Jesus, avoid His Church” years before you Cucks agreed with the devil that the Church was a non-essential charnel house. Guess what? Nobody wants to follow a god who can’t save himself or police his own followers.

It’s disgusting to read about this chucklehead logging into social media to have his week planned out for him by a pastor. What’s he being instructed to do that would be any different from his normal behavior? Were he Charismatic, I’d forward him the memo that he’s not significant enough to warrant weekly supernatural marching orders.

As if anybody sane would want to be that significant.

While we can’t wait to get back to normal church services (especially the post pandemic ones where hand sanitizer and masks are no longer needed or encouraged) we are making the most of our online time as a family.

Then DON’T WAIT. Do it now, you whoreson CEO evangelist! Oh, but perhaps you aren’t yet tired of showing up to “Sunday morning services” in your unshaven birthday suit?

Apply these three to your online viewing experience and you can enjoy these big blessings as well!

The big blessings of listening to Priest-King plan my week while I eat Cheetos in my underpants!

Continuing the running joke of AI vehicle drivers is the inevitable story of a drunk using AI to avoid a DUI. He manages a twofer!

Tesla on “Autopilot” hits police vehicle which hits ambulance, driver possibly drunk: police

htt ps://www.mercurynews.com/2020/07/14/tesla-on-autopilot-hits-police-vehicle-which-hits-ambulance-driver-possibly-drunk-police/

Police are probing possible drunk-driving in the case of a Tesla driver in Arizona who said he was using the Bay Area electric car maker’s controversial “Autopilot” system when his sedan smashed into an unoccupied police vehicle, which then hit an ambulance.

The crash occurred Tuesday on an Arizona highway, according to the state’s Department of Public Safety. .We can confirm the driver indicated to troopers the Tesla was on autopilot at the time of the collision,. the department tweeted, adding that the 23-year-old male driver was being investigated for driving under the influence.

At first, I thought this was an open-and-shut “ooh, pretty lights!” kind of crash where an intoxicated driver sees the flashers and instinctively moves towards the light at the end of his tunnel vision. But it’s possible the SUV was over the yellow line enough to confuse an autopilot.

The police sergeant who had driven the department’s SUV was not in it at the time of the crash, and the ambulance occupants were not hurt, the department said. The Tesla driver was hospitalized with serious but not life-threatening injuries, police said.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. After a fatal 2018 accident involving a Tesla on Autopilot in Mountain View, the Palo Alto company said that “Autopilot can be safely used on divided and undivided roads as long as the driver remains attentive and ready to take control,. the National Transportation Safety Board noted in a report. In a 2018 blog post, Tesla claimed Autopilot makes crashes “much less likely to occur,. arguing that “No one knows about the accidents that didn’t happen, only the ones that did..

The boldfaced is such an obvious design failure that you know this tech is being pushed by the Elites wanting to cull the human population. Which is better: a human driver, or an expensive computer driver that the human must hover over at all times to retake control in an instant? Exactly what labor is being saved by this labor-saving device? It’s like letting your six-year old sit in your lap while you drive on the freeway except without the happy memories of Baby’s First Ticket.

This isn’t the first time Tesla tried & failed to exterminate humans.

Tesla.s Big Problem: Excessive Automation

Tesla.s Big Problem: Excessive Automation

Since the invention of the assembly line, manufacturing has continued to improve its capacity for production. Robots and automation have slowly been pushing the human worker out of the factory.

But, there must be a tipping point where machinery can no longer replace the human worker.

It seems that Elon Musk may be reaching that tipping point… Elon Musk’s Tesla factories have fallen victim to over-automation.

According to Timothy B. Lee, as reported on arstechnica.com, there are experts who draw parallels between Musk’s desire for a faster line to, .GM’s automation efforts in the 1980.s. At the time, GM was being led by chairman and CEO Roger Smith and faced rising competition from Toyota and other foreign car makers. Smith had a vision for a “lights out” car factory where robots would do the bulk of the work, allowing GM to produce cars more efficiently than anyone else..

What happened in that GM plant was the first evidence a fully automated line was not a good idea:

.As the assembly line tried to gain speed, the computer-guided dolly wandered off course. The spray-painting robots began spraying each other instead of the cars, causing GM to truck the cars across town to a fifty-seven-year-old Cadillac plant for repainting. When a massive computer-controlled “robogate” welding machine smashed a car body, or a welding machine stopped dead, the entire line would stop. Workers could do nothing but stand around and wait while managers called in the robot contractor’s technicians..

GM spent billions of dollars on robotics in the 1980.s, but there was never a return on that investment. While today’s robots are more sophisticated, it is clear adding robots and AI must be done incrementally to achieve the best results.

In early 2018, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, confirmed automation had been slowing Tesla’s Model 3 production. Musk admitted humans, not machines, were the solution.

Tesla.s CEO said one reason Tesla has failed to reach promised production volumes was due to “excessive automation.” When asked whether robots had slowed down production, Musk replied, .Yes, they did . We had this crazy, complex network of conveyor belts . And it was not working, so we got rid of that whole thing..

The production under performance has delayed customer deliveries. Musk had to take direct control of the production line in April, even pulling all-nighters and napping at the factory.

.We were able to unlock some of the critical things that were holding us back from reaching 2,000 cars a week. But since then, we’ve continued to do 2,000 cars a week,. he said.

Simultaneously, Tesla is facing negative publicity due to a fatal crash of one of its Model X SUV.s that was using the firm’s Autopilot mode. The crash is just one of the problems facing the company.

Tesla is manufacturing an unexpectedly high ratio of flawed vehicles and parts, according to several employees, leading to so much rework and repair that its factory in Fremont, California, cannot handle all the issues.

End segue.

As an industrial designer I knew once put it, “humans are simultaneously the weakest and the most adaptive link in any system”. We can’t do any one thing as well as a task-specific machine but without us, complexity and chaos will rip the system apart.

So, if the driver is paying attention… but he’s plastered drunk… who gets the DUI? BigCorp or Bubba?

Crashes involving Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assistance system have sparked multiple investigations by the federal safety board. The agency found a Tesla driver’s over-reliance on the automated system was a factor in a 2016 fatal Model S crash in Florida, and determined that in 2018 in Mountain View, Autopilot steered a Tesla Model X SUV into a Highway 101 barrier, a collision that caused the driver’s death.

After another fatal Florida crash, between a Model 3 sedan and a truck in March 2019, the agency blamed the driver’s over-reliance on automation and Tesla’s design of the Autopilot system as well as “the company’s failure to limit the use of the system to the conditions for which it was designed,. it said in a report.

The report noted that after the 2016 Florida crash, which involved a collision between a Tesla and a truck, the agency recommended that Tesla and five other car makers using automated systems develop technology to “more effectively sense the driver’s level of engagement and alert the driver when engagement is lacking..

Great. So instead of you driving your car, your car nags you to pay constant attention to her. New for 2022, the Ford Honeymoon!

 

 

Harvard just released its new “Terms and Conditions” for living on-campus this coming academic season. TL;DR they keep your soul in a little jar but at least there’s no fine print.

Fall 2020 Residential Community Compact

htt ps://dso.college.harvard.edu/files/dso/files/community_compact-6_5_20.pdf

Harvard College aims to provide a residential environment that enables student
learning and provides a safe place for students during the public health emergency
occasioned by the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Harvard College is also guided by public health practices and will promote shared
responsibility among all members of the residential community . students and live-in and other residential staff included.

In order to make an informed decision about residency, it is important that all
students who are invited to return as part of a cohort or who plan to petition to
return to on-campus housing in Fall 2020 read, understand, acknowledge, and agree
to the rules and guidelines that will be in place in the fall. These rules and guidelines may be updated and revised as we receive additional guidance from the city, state, and federal governments.

Students residing on campus in Fall 2020 will be required to sign the residential community compact: (or their parents/guardians if under the age of 18) Because COVID-19 infects individuals by spreading across and within close community networks, it is essential that every one of us in the residential community enters into a shared obligation and commitment to act prudently, safely, and in accordance with public health directives.

It doesn’t spread via close community networks. It does spread via unwashed hands but that’s no longer good enough to justify the Narrative. Let me take a moment to say that California’s Governor Newscum closed my gym… again… because according to him, requiring me to wash my hands and have my temperature taken upon entry, wash my hands and all weights every single time I put them down and wash my hands again upon exiting the gym, all while wearing a face mask and staying six feet away from everybody, has proven insufficient for containing the virus. Either he’s a total liar or all containment efforts are doomed to fail. Either way, it’s time we revoked the Pandemic Privilege card.

But I digress. The point here is that this socialist experiment has no brakes. No justification. What’s coming is simply Harvard U’s vision of the imminent socialist utopia.

As a Harvard College student,
– I understand that the College has adopted the following requirements to promote the collective well-being of our community, and specifically the students, staff, and faculty in residence or working in residences during this time period.

“I understand that everything demanded of me is for my own good, regardless of my personal beliefs.”

-I acknowledge and agree that these rules and guidelines may change as life on campus and public health guidance across the country evolve and as new testing
and tracing methods emerge, and I agree to abide by any new rules and guidelines promulgated by Harvard for application in the residential setting.

Yo college kids, the first rule of signing a contract is knowing what you’re agreeing to. This is so loosely worded that Harvard could use you as an involuntary test subject for medical experimentation so long as it “promotes the collective well-being of
our community”.

If you don’t want to be a guinea pig then you can stop right here. But let’s be honest, you were already too stupid to attend classes online from your parents’ home… the classes are all going to be online anyway.

Required Testing, Education, and Contact Tracing
– I will participate in frequent routine COVID-19 testing as directed by the College and will undertake daily wellness checks using the Crimson Clear app. I understand that
students will not be billed for testing.

– If I test positive for COVID-19, I will share truthful information with the contact tracers about others who may be at risk.

Notice that you must report your entire social life if you “test positive”. Not even if you actually have it. Wouldn’t it be funny if a “computer bug” made everybody’s first test a false positive and everybody had to enter all their childhood friends into a database?

Self-isolation, Quarantine, and Preventative Health
– If I am found to have been in contact with someone who has tested positive, I will comply with all self-quarantine protocols.

There is one single reason to attend Harvard and it’s not the academics. It’s the opportunity to socialize and network with the future leaders of American government. This one step is a killshot to building that kind of social network.

Also, goodbye fraternity life. Eh, they’d mostly been moved off-campus already. Toxic masculinity, y’know, yet somehow chicks keep finding their parties.

-Unless for health reasons the vaccine is contraindicated for me, I will receive the seasonal flu vaccine when one becomes available at University Health Services.

And so the involuntary medical experimentation begins. “We don’t have a COVID vaccine yet so until we do, we’ll use the flu vaccine.”

That illustrates the integrity and knowledge base of our top disease experts PERFECTLY.

Physical distancing, face coverings, and behavioral requirements
– I will wear a face mask or facial covering in any areas outside of my suite (i.e., any public areas, including hallways, laundry rooms, dining halls, and public spaces in
other campus buildings).

This means the shared bathroom, too. Respiratory infections are going to skyrocket.

– If any in-person gatherings are allowed at a future time…

Why would ANYBODY pay money to live on campus under these rules? There is literally no point. You’d have better socializing opportunities in the city jail.

– If any in-person gatherings are allowed at a future time, I will follow all current, posted guidelines at Harvard University, in indoor or outdoor settings, and I will neither host nor attend any gathering that exceeds the maximum number indicated.

– When accessing dining services, I will only dine in the location assigned to me. If I need accommodation for special dietary needs, I will work with the Accessible Education Office.

QED: city jail is the better choice.

Travel
– I will remain in the immediate area for the fall semester. If I must travel during the fall semester, I will notify my Resident Dean and comply with any return policies or directives, which may include testing and quarantine.

-I will not have guests in my residential suite [including family].

– I will only access my own residential building and will not access other residential buildings.

This IS jail!

– In the event that Harvard College determines that public health conditions warrant de-densification of campus…

They’re already restricting themselves to 40% capacity. One assumes the six-foot social distancing rule has no exception for walls?

…I will prepare for and fund my own personal travel home or will work with the Office of Financial Aid, as needed.

Translation, Harvard can unilaterally breach your housing agreement and stick you with the consequences. This compact is so completely one-sided that lawsuits are inevitable.

I will not pity the fool but will hope he wins.

Community Accountability:
– Any alleged violations of this compact will be reviewed by a Community
Council, which will have authority to remove a student from campus. More
information about the Community Council will be disseminated in August.

Not even a university administrator? You have to sign this before you know who will enforce this?

Overall, I like this compact. If only Harvard decides, on Day Two of the Fall semester, that students are not permitted to leave campus as a new health measure, we will have de facto incarceration of an entire future generation of Deep State microtyrants along with a complete digital record of whose asses they kissed up to during their “grooming” years.

 

Oh, hey, um… how do students attend church if no in-person meetings are allowed?
