  • And Skynet smiles

    Apparently Dallas Love Airport is the new home of SCOT–a robot that checks to make sure that passengers are wearing their masks (like serfs) or if they are waiting too long at the curb to pick up a passenger. The machines can also detect flagged individuals based on what they are wearing,  This is the… Continue reading

  • Okay Groomer

     Allie Beth Stuckey uses all of the key words and phrases thrown at conservatives regarding ‘white privilege’ etc.  (usually with a side of RAAAACCIST) and puts it to the people who object to the word ‘groomer’ when referring to people who are acting as apologists for pedophiles.   Some examples: It’s not enough to be not a… Continue reading

  • The flight attendants need to talk to their union reps

     Nine flight attendants, who are the ‘front line’ of service and safety in commercial airplanes are suing the Biden administration over maintaining the mask mandates.  This is in contrast to the Flight Attendants Union, which lobbied the White House (and won) to keep the mandates longer against all good sense.  I’m guessing the union bosses… Continue reading

  • Women's rights.v3

     Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission has said that single sex spaces (as defined by biology) are perfectly legal in some cases. The guidance is wishy-washy and milquetoast, as are most things British, (including the food) but at least it is something.  And it does kind of acknowledge that women have as many rights as… Continue reading

  • Wow. Lori Lightfoot seems to have a bit of an obsession with male 'members'

     I read a while ago about Lori Lightfoot’s tirade when it came to the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago.  Putting aside my absolute abhorrence for the tearing down of history (I cried when the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas) and the fact that she really doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the police (except for the… Continue reading

  • I don't get it with teachers now

    When I was in school, I heard nothing, absolutely nothing, about a teacher’s personal life.  They were a teacher.  In my small hometown, a few years after I graduated, the english teacher ran off with the art teacher (both male).   None of the kids I knew had an inkling that either were gay (in the… Continue reading

  • It's a small start

     Point Park University is closing its Equity and Diversity office at the end of this semester.  It’s kind of hollow since the personnel will still be employed and the policies will still continue.  Not surprisingly, the student government (SGA) is trying to dictate to the university administration.  But not all students agree with the student… Continue reading

  • Still playing the numbers game

     The State of Indiana is now reporting covid positive tests and other stats per 10,000 instead of 100,000.  Just another way to keep those numbers artificially elevated even though they are only reporting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday instead of every weekday now. It just doesn’t stop. Continue reading

  • Oberlin College loses again

    Gibson’s Bakery’s victory against Oberlin College was affirmed by the Ohio Court of Appeals last week.  The article at Legal Insurrection gives a better breakdown but it goes like this: Gibson’s Bakery was constantly the target of shoplifters from Oberlin for years.  They regularly had the student shoplifters arrested.  They caught a black student shoplifting… Continue reading

  • Zed is dead

    Unfortunately this is NOT an April Fool’s joke.  Earlier this week, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called on the world to “criminalize” the letter ‘Z’, saying that it represents “Russia’s war of aggression.” And the virtue signaling monkeys are doing it–companies from Samsung to Zurich Insurance. And just because…. Continue reading
