Some groups aren’t ever satisfied. They create their own problems.

I mean, Whole Foods tried to keep a store in Englewood (South side of Chicago) open because “Equality”…and their prices were not to the liking of the residents, so the local populace stole things instead. The costs from shoplifting were so high that the Whole Foods closed…..(plus, apparently the staff didn’t want to work there because of violence).

South Side residents claimed “racism” because now there wasn’t a local grocery store.

So the property was purchased by Sav-A-Lot…

And people complained. Protested enough that the store then closed after one day.

Might reopen, might not. Depends on how much graft the owners are willing to spread around to the protest leaders how the talks go.

I mean, the timing of this Woke VP at InBev woman’s education fits with the timing of the education of the suddenly Woke folks at Disney, which also meets with the timing of the Woke people in education.

Was there something that happened like 12-15 years ago in colleges across the country that led to all these “woke” people being indoctrinated with the WOKE? All of the people like her were who are now earning their way to powerful positions were graduated/ educated in about a 5 year window, as were the suddenly Woke and Pedophile enabling teachers….

What happened then? How did it all happen at the same time? Somewhere, somehow they all got the Woke. It had to be in colleges, as the other demographics seem to be too diverse. So who/how? Is it still happening?

This wasn’t incremental. It happened suddenly….what was it? What is the common factor besides a college degree?

It’s all about the Narrative, innit?

I mean, if you ignore the violence, then yeah, It was Mostly Peaceful…

Incredulous Riley Gaines slams statement from SF State PRAISING students for ‘peaceful’ protests after she was attacked and forced to hide inside a room when trans-rights protesters stormed her speech about women’s sport.

Punched in the face. But it was no doubt a “gentle punch” in a well meaning manner.

Of course, the police under whose protection she was were less than helpful, apparently. They did nothing to stop her from being punched and forced to lock herself in a room for hours. No arrests were made.

Besides that, their protection was awesome….

But the school praised the actions of the protestors, so there is that.

Y’know, some people know they are in the wrong, they don’t like how their world is treating them, and yet they just can’t do anything but Keep On Keepin’ On the way they have been, even though it is harming them in many ways…..And they know it.

The sad part is that it is mostly stubbornness and the inability to admit to themselves  that they are wrong…..so they can’t change their behavior. Pride and all that. Bordering on stupidity. But there they are. Watching the decline is disheartening.

Like a drunk on a downward spiral, they ignore all warnings, all one can do is stand back and watch the decline and hope that the splash isn’t too bad when the bottom hits.

Sad, really.

Why we celebrate.

It ain’t eggs and bunnies.

Happy Easter.

I mean, yes, it is likely mental illness, but it is no different than those who claim to be another gender.

Man/woman/woman/dog….what’s the difference? If we accept one, why not the other?

A Mississippi woman accused of having sex with a German shepherd has been pictured with the dogs days before her arrest.

Look: I get it, you think it is disgusting. But if we are gonna accept that some people that are so mentally damaged that they think they are a woman when they are a man, (or vice-versa) and give them credence, then why not a girl that thinks she is a dog?

At what point is the mental illness beyond acceptable? Why is this girl any less acceptable than some person that thinks they area different gender than what they were born with?

The double standard here is unacceptable.

ETA: Look: I’m not condoning her actions, nor do I find it acceptable. But if you are gonna allow some perversions and not others, what are the standards by which you find one acceptable and another unacceptable? Who gets to decide? 

If there was every any doubt that the prosecution of Donald Trump is political in nature, this should put it to rest….

The basic charge which is the lynchpin of the slew of charges that New York is using against me Trump …

Was investigated and dismissed by the Federal Election Commission years ago and it was determined that there WAS NO CRIME.  

Attorney Bragg knows this fact. Chose to charge Trump anyway. …after all the other politically motivated attempts to criminally charge him had failed.

Just think about that. The DNC led attacks keep coming one after the other, a new one every time the previous ones have failed. A slow trickle of attempts to damage Me Trump and keep him from being able to campaign. This is the sort of thing that other, less civilized countries experience….not the sort of behavior that one expects in the US.

The fact that this is happening tells me several things…they fear Trump. They no longer believe that they can get away with election shenanigans like in 2020…..and they think that unless they stop him from running they will lose.

I don’t want to have to choose Trump. I’d much rather have someone else….. But I find it interesting how much the DNC machine fears him running again.

“Quality of one’s enemies” and all that….

But this is an interesting, if contrary thought as to why the charges have been laid….

Seeing as how they are less than 1% of the population here in the US, yet a significantly high number of these “Trans” people have all these anger issues and are apparently a greater threat to society in general than the average person. Well beyond their numerical representation in our greater society would suggest……

Almost as if they have some serious mental issues or something….

They elected a new Mayor. (or at least that is what they tell us….there are many oddities about this election, but that is another discussion)

Hearing him speak is kinda frightening. He sounds like a 1970’s socialist radical, using the same phrases in the same way. He really has no substance to his philosophy….But he is black, so he got most of the votes from people with skin like his….plus he was supported by the academics and the unions….And he is “Progressive”…he’s gonna gut the city.

He’s more radical than the outgoing mayor Lightfoot, who had no idea how to make a city work, and was clueless as to where the money to run the city actually came from….

This new guy is even more radical and has a greater level of cluelessness when it comes to the economics.

He says all the right words, speaks all the correct socialist phrases, and yet he is promoting policies that will drive businesses away from the city. Higher taxes, more “Inclusiveness”, etc. When questioned about his policies on national TV, he had no answers, only repeated the rhetoric that was his stock in trade during the campaign speeches.

As it is, Chicago is already losing businesses that have high paying jobs….that generate high payroll taxes and high rents that generate high property taxes. Their employees have larger amounts of disposable income that generates higher spending….Which is what generates the taxes for the city to pay for itself….

He’s gonna drive those companies and their employees away,, devastating the economy.  The exodus was already underway and it is gonna get worse under Brandon Johnson.

He actually stated that poverty is an excuse for crime….and the only way to reduce poverty is to tax the “Rich” ever more….that the businesses and the people need to pay a yet higher amount of their “Fair Share”.

Expect the Downtown areas, (that segment of the city that generates over 35% of the taxes paid) to become a ghost town. People will move to where the crime is low. Businesses will move to other places where their employees feel safe and where those businesses are welcomed for the money they generate, and are not taxed heavily. Already, 1/3 of the high-end stores on the “Magnificent Mile” have left (mostly due to crime), and I expect more will do so in the next year.

In 4 years the tax revenue in the downtown will be less than half of what it is today. Bet on it.

Add in the increased hobbling of the police (and the hemorrhaging of decent, qualified officers that actually do their job) and the police department will soon be a (bigger) mess, leading to higher crime….leading to more citizens leaving for places where they feel safe. The exodus will accelerate

We have seen this before, in other Blue cities. The end will be the same.

Socialists keep playing the same game, with the same outcome.

I mean, you own the property, you can do what you want….

But really?

People move from the cities, or the (very) crowded suburbs of a large city to the “country”….(not really “Country”, but much more rural and less dense than they are used to)…Because they like the low taxes and the “Charm” of the “country” Plus the low crime rate and such.

I swear the first thing they do is cut down all the trees that shade the house in the summer sun,  They want “Nature” and “Charm” and wildlife….just not in their yard.

OF course, this is just the first step.

Then they bitch how far away the Walmarts and Targets are, and especially the Starbucks. Plus the lack of “Decent Restaurants”.

Then they whine about the tractors and harvesters and planters…and the smells of agriculture. And the sounds of target practice…

Then they complain about the lack of services like snowplowing and such.

Go the fuck back to the city. We like it here just the way it is. You left that shithole for a reason.
