Over the next 12 months you will see the left and the media hitting Joe Biden hard, on his performance, on inflation and eventually on the corruption of his son and himself.
Don’t believe them.
Biden’s lack of competence, his corruption and the results of his policies were all known by them, the first two because he’s been one of them for decades, the final because his “policies” are their policies put in his mouth as sure as the teleprompter words that he repeats.
If they thought for one moment they could win with him they would continue to prop him up and ignore all that is done.
But as soon as they decide that he is a no longer useful idiot they will suddenly discover, to their shock, all of the evil he has done for decades and then give themselves awards for doing so.
I’m old enough to remember the AIDS Epidemic’s beginning.
When it started out there was a full court press by the left and many elites to make sure this disease was not identified with Gay sex.
This was despite the fact that the primary spread of this disease was through gay and bisexual men.
Now the easiest way to stop this disease was of course for
Gay Men not to have gay sex with strangers and multiple partners
Women to not have sex with bisexual men who had multiple partners.
For people of either sex or any sexual orientation not to sell or purchase sex from people
For people of either sex or any sexual orientation to practice monogamy
But of course for the future customers of Jeffrey Epstein’s in government and entertainment and academia this option white effective would not and could not be advanced as it was too close to the Commandments of God and the teaching of Christianity so instead a wise program of
Encouraging Gay men, the primary target of the disease to avoid dangerous sexual contacts
Promoting monogamy among adults and abstinence among youth to avoid crossover infections
Spending money on research to find a way to control or eradicate said disease
This would have saved lives but would not have served the cultural desires of the Hollywood, Academic and Washington elites so instead we had a program of
Attacking anyone who suggested that promiscuous gay sex was the primary spreader of the disease
Promoting the idea that this disease was a major threat to the general population when it was not
Encouraging the use of condoms as a solution to the problem
Spending money on research to find a way to control or eradicate said disease
It’s worth noting that it was during this time that the religious began to drift toward the GOP and started to became unwelcome in Democrat circles who began to embrace the Gay agenda bigtime.
Treatments were eventually discovered which meant that AIDS is no longer an automatic death sentence, It’s still a disease that spreads through sexual contact with someone infected that can screw you and your immune system up very badly for the rest of your life but your odds are surviving are pretty high.
“Even as Covid-19 restrictions have loosened, for many gay men, an uninvited guest called monkey pox has threatened to spoil long-anticipated festivities.
“Of the 6,924 confirmed monkey pox cases in the global outbreak, the vast majority have occurred among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men, or MSM, various health authorities report. Skin-to-skin contact during sex, experts assert, has likely been the primary driver of the virus’s global spread thus far.”
Via Don Surber who like myself is old enough to remember AIDS but was in the newspaper business at the time while I was just getting out of college, he writes:
Here we go again.
It is AIDS 2.0.
Shut the bathhouses down.
Do NOT shut the economy down.
Do NOT require everyone get a vaccine.
Do NOT frighten children by saying anyone can get it.
Now this is solid advice but if the AIDS epidemic was the start of the Democrat’s move toward the Gay agenda today the party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the LGBTQ+-etc etc etc crowd and the odds of this advice being taken by a party that has gone full groomer (it would have been unimaginable that the Democrat party would have embraced drag queen story time in 1987 or even 2007 for that matter) are slightly less than the Red Sox firing Alex Cora and replacing him with me as their interim manager for a few weeks
However we are also in an era where the gatekeepers of the press can be completely bypassed so the odds of Democrats selling shutting down the economy and pushing this as a big public health issue for all is likely pretty small too.
The wild card? If the idea of discouraging anonymous gay sex was not an option of choice in 1987 for the elites any such suggestion today will likely get you banned from social media, labeled a Nazi, a bigot and any other epithet they can come up with at best or the target of physical violence at worse.
As a general rule those who fail to learn the mistakes of the past are destined to repeat them, we will find out shortly. I don’t have high hopes.
On the plus side if we don’t learn our lesson Berke Breathed will be able to rerun this Sunday Strip on Feb 11th 2023 and take a day off.
You know the Hatred of America and the institutions that make it great has become such a standard part of the American left and it’s allies that when I saw this at Instapundit from Sarah Hoyt about the NYT “cancelling” the Declaration of Independence
I was not in the least surprised. That was until I actually clicked the link and read the NY Post story on the subject. The “excuse” given for this omission in this story was no shock:
New York Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha explained that Times employees simply forgot to put the Declaration of Independence into print this year.
She said, “We have a longstanding tradition of printing the Declaration of Independence in the July 4th print edition. Due to a human error, it wasn’t printed this July 4th so was included in the July 5th edition.”
Shades of classic Steve Martin:
It was no “shock” at all, all of these mistakes by the left media only go in one direction, however as unsurprising as the story was in general the second line of the piece was a complete shock to me:
After disgruntled readers voiced concern, the paper printed it on July 5.
Now admit it, If somebody told you the NYT had enough readers who would be “disgruntled” by the omission of the Declaration of Independence in the 4th of July edition of the paper that they would decided to print it on the fifth rather than just leave it out would you have believed it?
There are some people who are worried about all the “good” that Planned Parenthood will not be able to do in states like Texas, Florida, Arkansas and others were abortion will now be banned with the Dobbs decision the law of the land.
These people, if we are to believe the pro-abortion left, are of course mistaken.
We have been told for decades that abortion only accounts for 3% of the business Planned Parenthood does. It’s been insisted than anyone who claims that they are simply an abortion mill and that the 3% figure is a lie of creative, or not so creative, accounting, is advancing a blatant falsehood.
So with abortion bans about to take place in multiple states we will now have the chance to see how true these statements have been.
If abortion is in fact only 3% of Planned Parenthood business and things like ultrasounds and mammograms and all kids of care for pregnant mothers expecting to deliver children we should see plenty of business for planned Parenthood Clinics in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and other states where abortions will not be legal. That 97% of their business should still be going on strong and healthy particularly since women of the left will be anxious to take advantage of these services in support of their ally.
But if within a year Planned Parenthood closes these offices or relocates them to locations that boarder states that allow abortion then I think we might just have to question if their 3% figure was a lie.
