What is it about “Woke” corporations?

So DuckDuckGo decided that I am not able to determine what is “Disinformation”. Huh. Not like I’ve been determining who is lying to me for most of my adult life. Not like I;’ve been able to determine what internet sites, what newspapers, what TV news organizations or what political party is lying to me.

I’m old enough to remember when the only on-ramp to the internet for most people was via a college log-in and when most web pages were text-based. There have been disinformation sites since those dark ages, and ther likely always will be.

I don’t need a web browser company to tell me what is RightSpeak and what is WrongSpeak. I don’t trust any of the media anymore, nor do I trust the folks at Microsoft nor Goggle to tell what I should believe. Now I can’t trust DuckDuckGo, either. Apparently they think I can’t make my own determination….and that they want me to trust them to do the filtering for me. Yeah, that is like letting Snopes tell me what is truth.

How can I trust that they too won’t be biased like Google?

So, currently using Brave with Ecosia (not Duck Duck go on Chrome anymore) as the bowser, but am open to suggestions for a browser that thinks that I am intelligent enough to smell bullshit when I step in it. I am, after all, not a Leftist Millennial who can be easilyh led.

“They got what they ordered”

Kamala Harris said the Democratic voters “Got what they ordered” and that the DNC should stand proud of their accomplishments before the midterms.

‘Our task is to show people that, in many ways, they got what they ordered,’ the vice president said Saturday
While much of Biden’s planned agenda has failed at the steps of Congress the party is touting the American Rescue Plan and the bipartisan infrastructure bill
‘A lot of what they demanded they got and so let’s get out there as we do and remind them…because we know that they will show up again,‘ Harris said

Yep, she’s right. Anyone who bothers to look at recent DNC history should know that every time a Democrat is president (especially when there is a DNC majority in Congress) we get higher energy prices, runaway inflation, less national security, more regulation, less freedoms and a higher cost of living. Carter, Clinton, Barry the O and now Biden.

The American voters (less the Margin of Fraud and Midnight (Found) Votes) got exactly what they voted for. Enough of them, anyway, that adding a few suitcases full of fraudulent votes in the right precincts and a few votes by dead people could sway the election.

Sadly, she is also correct that the DNC voters will show up again to vote for her side. Blacks and Hispanics as well, even though they are always at the bottom of the Democrats list and the DNC policies always hurt them the worst and early.

They sent me the below email.

 

How to help the people of Ukraine

The GoFundMe Guarantee. Protecting your generosity is our top priority: our team of specialists work night and day to make sure that funds get to the intended recipient, every time. In the rare case that something isn’t right, our Guarantee ensures that donations and donors are protected.

 

My reply:

 

Fuck You.
I will NEVER donate through GoFundMe ever again after your stupid decisions regarding the Canadian Trucker Protest. The attempt to divert funds for a cause you did not feel was acceptable, although a peaceful protest was inexcusable. The social engineering games you played and the fact that your first try was to divert those funds to a charity that YOU felt was acceptable without input from the people donating was effectively theft.
I will never donate a single cent through your company ever again.
I look forward to the day you go out of business and your competitors dance on the husk of your once thriving company.

Ya think?

Canceling Keystone XL May Have Been Biden’s Biggest Blunder.

 

The author points out that the cancellation would not have affected the current price of gasoline, but does point out that the entire attitude of the Biden administration has contributed to the decrease in supply. The political blunder may well lead to the unseating of the DNC led government…(assuming the RNC boys and girls can come up with a viable candidate rather than the losers they’ve offered in the recent past).

 

Joe average sees $4+ gas and doesn’t care about the nuances. He sees a policy that is opposed to a ready and steady (and secure) supply of oil…..and all he really cares is how much of his paycheck goes into the tank each week.
