Maher Either Awoke From "Woke" Or Feared Losing His Show. Teaching Sex To 2d Graders Should Help Defeat China's Appetite. Costly Stupidity. More.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here's one liberal who finally either got the word and sees the light or was he losing his audience and had to wake up from being "woke?"

MESSAGE ABOUT A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

" host Bill Maher closed his show Friday night by sounding the alarm on China's growing dominance over the United States. “Why are Americans sleeping" he asked?..."We are we sleeping instead  of spending our time teaching and assisting little boys how to become little girls!

And, if we aren't busy doing that we have the Secretary of Defense, responding to an order from the 'commander' in chief, designing stylish new uniforms for pregnant soldiers. You're not going to win the battle for the 21st century if you are such silly people. And Americans all now seem to be silly people," 

Maher began the monologue, alluding to a "Lawrence of Arabia" quote

.Do you know who doesn't care that there's a stereotype of a Chinese man in a Dr. Seuss book? China, he said. "All 1.4 billion of them couldn't give a crouching tiger flying f--- because they're not silly people. If anything, they are as serious as a prison fight. ”

Maher then wryly acknowledged  China does "bad stuff" from the concentration camps of Uyghur Muslims to its treatment of Hong Kong. But he stressed, "There's got to be something between an authoritarian government that tells everyone what to do and when and a representative government that can't do anything at all. ”In two generations, China has built 500 entire cities from scratch, moved the majority of their huge population from poverty to the middle class, and mostly cornered the market in 5G and pharmaceuticals. Oh, and they bought Africa," Maher said, pointing to China's global Silk Road infrastructure initiative.

He continued: "In China alone, they have 40,000 kilometers of high-speed rail. America has none. ... We've been having Infrastructure Week every week since 2009, but we never get anything done! Half the country is having a never-ending woke competition deciding whether Mr. Potato Head has a dick and the other half believes we have to stop the lizard people because they're eating babies. We are such “silly people”.Nothing ever moves in this impacted colon of a country. We see a problem and we ignore it, lie about it, fight about it with each other, endlessly litigate it, sunset clause it, kick it down the road, and then write a bill where a half- assed solution doesn't kick in for 10 years," 

Maher explained. Then the half-assed bill gets forgotten. China sees a problem and they fix it. They build a dam. We debate what to rename it. The HBO star cited how it took "ten years" for a bus line in San Francisco to pass its environmental review and how it took "16 years" to build the Big Dig tunnel in Boston, comparing that to a 57-story skyscraper that China built in "19 days" and Beijing's Sanyuan Bridge, which was demolished and rebuilt in "43 hours. ”We binge-watch, they binge-build. When COVID hit Wuhan, the city built a quarantine center with 4,000 rooms in 10 days and they barely had to use it because they quickly arrested the rest of the disease," Maher said. "They were back to throwing raves in swimming pools while we were stuck at home surfing the dark web for black market Charmin.

 We're not losing to China, we’ve LOST. The returns just haven't all come in yet. They've made robots that check a kid's temperature and get their asses back in school. Most of our kids are still pretending to take Zoom classes while they watch TikTok and their brain cells fully commit ritual suicide. Our teachers unions are finding every single way to keep themselves on the payroll, but keep students out of the classrooms. 

WAKE UP AMERICANS!! That means ALL of YOU. Maher then blasted New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing him of degrading school standards by eliminating merit and substituting a lottery system for admittance to schools for advanced learners. Our country is going down the toilet. Do you think China's doing that, letting political correctness get in the way of nurturing their best and brightest?" Maher continued. "Do you think Chinese colleges and universities are offering courses in 'The Philosophy of Star Trek, 'The Sociology of Seinfeld,' and 'Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse'? Can this be real? Well, let me tell you, China is real. And they are eating our lunch. And believe me, in an hour, they'll be hungry again. 

I  would add that the rot being developed internally by groups such as BLM, extreme left-wing groups, along with the free loaders, and a hundred other groups are perhaps a far greater threat than China, because they are all around us, and we tax-paying, country loving, hardworking individuals just sit back and watch it take place. That people like Omar, and AOC, others can be elected, should just make you vomit.That a statue of George Floyd could be put up in Minneapolis and some historical statues taken down should tell you that it’s off the rails, way off the rails, and unless it is stopped by the people who care about the matter, I fear that we are not going to get back on the track heading in the right direction.”

New Jersey to Force Second-Graders to Learn Explicit Details About ‘Gender Identity’ Welcome to “modern-day public school education.” Robert Spencer

Posted By Ruth King

The madness that is spreading through the land is coming to New Jersey second-graders: seven- and eight-year-olds with the misfortune of having to attend public schools will be forced this fall to learn all the latest fashionable insanity about how boys may really be girls and vice versa, setting up some of them to destroy their lives in the ensuing years. This is child abuse on a grand scale, otherwise known as a “modern-day public school education.”

New state sex education guidelines are set to take effect this September in the Garden State, requiring that once they have completed second grade, children should grasp the “core ideas” that all “individuals should feel welcome and included regardless of their gender, gender expression or sexual orientation.” Traditional morality would be disallowed under these guidelines, no matter how politely stated, for even a soft-spoken affirmation that some sexual orientations or gender expressions might actually be actively harmful to the human spirit would clearly not be welcome, and so are ruled out.

Predictably, it gets even worse. According to Fox News, “the standards listed ‘performance expectations’ for second graders, which includes discussing ‘the range of ways people express their gender and how gender role stereotypes may limit behavior.’” This range, of course, includes all of today’s officially sanctioned insanity, and the standards do everything they can to break down a child’s emerging sense of the differences between the sexes.

The child abuse starts as early as possible: “One lesson plan, ‘Purple, Pink and Blue,’ instructs teachers to talk to their first graders about gender identity, and its first objective is to have the students be able to define ‘gender, gender identity and gender role stereotypes.’” First-graders. And once these child victims have mastered the concept of “gender identity,” it’s on to gender fluidity: “The lesson’s second objective is to have students name ‘at least two things they’ve been taught about gender role stereotypes and how those things may limit people of all genders.’”

What on earth do first- and second-graders know about gender role stereotypes? Whatever they may know or not know, in New Jersey public schools they’re going to be breaking it down and filling their young charges’ heads with nonsense. A lesson plan states: “Gender identity is that feeling of knowing your gender. You might feel like you are a boy, you might feel like you are a girl. You might feel like you’re a boy even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘girl’ parts. You might feel like you’re a girl even if you have body parts that some people might tell you are ‘boy’ parts. And you might not feel like you’re a boy or a girl, but you’re a little bit of both. No matter how you feel, you’re perfectly normal!” Anything and everything is “perfectly normal,” except, of course, believing that boys are boys and girls are girls and that one cannot become the other, or, for that matter, be a bit of boy and a bit of girl.

Fox notes that “another lesson plan for second graders, ‘Understanding Our Bodies,’ tells teachers to instruct students that ‘there are some body parts that mostly just girls have and some parts that mostly just boys have.’ Being a boy or a girl doesn’t have to mean you have those parts, but for most people this is how their bodies are. Most people have a vulva and a vagina or a penis and testicles, but some people’s bodies can be different. Your body is exactly what is right for you.” This is a needless and irresponsible complication of something that is actually quite simple: actually having male body parts does mean that you’re a boy, and having female body parts means that you’re a girl. But clearly, that’s the agenda here: to sow confusion that can be exploited to recruit more transgenders and normalize defiant rejection of unwelcome realities.

Second-graders will also be required to “identify at least four body parts” from genitalia, and to describe “why it is important for them to know the correct names for the genitals.” Well, sure. If you’re going to trade them in for a new set, you’ll need to know their names.

New Jersey Assemblywoman Vicky Flynn, a Republican, had the last word on this criminal madness: “No kid should have to talk about sex with their elementary school teacher.” Indeed.

‘Walt Not Woke’: Dad’s Hand Made T-shirt Causes a Stir at Disney

'It was really nice to know there's an unhappy silent majority in 'the happiest place on earth' that are not liking what's going on'

By Patricia Tolson 

In an effort to “honestly and respectfully” express how he feels about what is going on with the Disney company’s management, one dad’s hand-made T-shirt caused quite a stir at “the happiest place on earth.”

Dan Geffers has been taking his daughters Lila and Bryn to Disney for years. Over those years he has noticed the subtle changes the company has been making regarding causes they support and the policies they are implementing at their parks. But the things that have developed lately in the ongoing effort by Disney’s management to protest the passing of legislation meant to protect children “was the last straw.”

Geffers said they had already purchased Disney tickets for himself, his wife, and their two daughters to go spend two days at two different parks at Disney in Orlando, Florida. Going with them were a friend of their daughter’s, Halle Nebl, as well as Michelle Depa and her daughter Allison Stromske. But two days after they bought the tickets, they saw on the news how Disney Parks’ diversity and inclusion manager, Vivian Ware, announced the company has “removed all of the gendered greetings” like “ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.” Disney Television Animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau also boasted in an internal meeting about how she is inserting the “not-at-all-secret gay agenda” into children’s programming and “adding queerness” wherever she can. The news came out after Disney CEO Bob Chapek and the rest of the Disney corporation had already launched into a battle with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the Parental Rights in Education legislation he signed into law.

“That was it for me,” Geffers told The Epoch Times. “I didn’t want to go anymore. So, I made calls to see about getting a refund on my tickets.”

Unfortunately, Geffers said the effort went nowhere. Two separate calls put him on hold for at least 20 minutes each time. He finally gave up, and the seven of them just decided to go. After all, seven tickets for a two-day trip to two parks had already cost them over $2,000. It would have been a tremendous waste.

Then they got an idea. It involved “a plain white T-shirt and a couple of sharpies.”

“I had to make a statement,” Geffers said. “So, I went out and bought a T-shirt. I put a couple of things on the back and a couple of things on the front and I wore it to the park.”

On the back, Geffers wrote “Hello Boys and Girls, Ladies and Gentlemen.” On the front, he wrote, “Walt Not Woke.” While he wasn’t sure how people were going to respond, Geffers said he needed to do something to express how he felt about what was going on at “the happiest place on earth.”

On the first day, Geffers and the rest of his entourage went to Disney’s Magic Kingdom. According to Geffers, they hadn’t even gotten into the park before he noticed people pointing, whispering, smiling, and making comments. “Walt Not Woke” seemed to be the favorite.

“I was very surprised,” Geffers said, recalling how even the employees who were directing guests toward the entrance were commenting, saying: “Nice T-shirt,” and “I like your shirt.” When they got inside and proceeded toward the gate for admission, more employees made comments on how they liked the shirt. “It was nice to hear,” he said.

“Once inside the park and throughout the day, many people came up and wanted to take a picture with him, saying ‘I have to send this to my husband, he didn’t want me to come today’ or “I’m going to send this to my buddy, he’s going to get a kick out of this.’ Some people would just tap me on the shoulder and say, ‘Hey, thanks for wearing that shirt’ or ‘I like your shirt.’ He even made sure to get a picture of himself in the T-shirt with his daughters.

What really surprised Geffers was when he went to one of the concession stands to get some ice cream bars and popcorn for his girls.

“I handed her the money to pay for it and she said, ‘It’s on Mickey. I like your shirt,’ and I was like—okay.”

On the second day, Geffers and the gang went to Hollywood Studios. His T-shirt drew a lot of attention there as well. He would see people walking by, snapping pictures, and tapping friends and family members on the shoulder to point and smile. More notable, Geffers said did not notice or hear any negative comments. Neither did his daughters or the other people in the group.

Michelle Depa and her daughter Allison often go to Disney with the Geffers. But this time, things were very different.

“We were watching the news and we saw how Disney wasn’t allowing its workers to greet people with ‘hello boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen,’ and we just started talking about that,” Depa recalled for The Epoch Times. “That’s when Dan suggested T-shirts.”

They discussed different ideas of what to put on the T-shirts and eventually decided it would be more effective to simply use Disney’s own words to make their point. While the initial plan was to have all seven of them wear a T-shirt, the decision was made that it might be best if only Dan made the fashion statement.

“I thought it was a great idea,” Deppa conceded. “We had already purchased the tickets and knew we couldn’t get our money [back], but we still had a hard time with some of the stances Disney has decided to take. So, we felt this was a way to make our voices heard. I think they’ve completely overstepped their bounds. It’s really sad and hypocritical of them to eliminate being able to use ‘Hello boys and girls and ladies and gentlemen’ when the majority of us still refer to ourselves as that, especially after they founded their successful business based on families like ours who relish those values.”

As people would walk by, Depa said she watched as people pointed and smiled at Geffers in his T-shirt. She heard them saying things like, “Cool shirt!” and “Love the shirt!” Several people came up and asked to take pictures with him. One man even came up to commiserate with Dan, asking, “Can you believe all of this stuff?” Depa said she also saw the Disney cast member who told Dan his popcorn and ice cream bars were “on Mickey.” She also heard the cast member tell Geffers “there may still be hope for Disney.”

“It was just kind of interesting,” Geffers confessed. “It was really nice to know there’s this unhappy silent majority in the happiest place on earth that are not liking what’s going on with the Disney company. At first, when things like this come up, you feel like you’re the only one because nobody else is speaking up. I realize people are scared and it takes a lot of guts and courage to make a statement on how you feel and to voice your opinion, which is why most people don’t ever do that. But I’ve always been one to say what I think and to say it openly, honestly and respectfully because, otherwise, nothing ever changes.”

Jesse Waters did a job on experts and the cost of following them on 4/12. That same evening, I had just come from a meeting with Rep. Buddy Carter who is fighting Biden's desire to close a $20 plus million high tech hanger, in Savannah, for 6th generation planes in April 2023. The facility is still under construction.  Also, Biden wants to close  a first class training facility which is preparing special forces in anticipation of a war also Savannah based.

Talk about costly stupidity. It matches what Dufus did to domestic energy production.

From time to time, I hope to introduce non sequiturs and discuss their implications.  In the  April 9-10, WSJ, p B1 there was an article entitled: "From Blue Collar to 'New Collar.' " One of the comments I found interesting and  mosly agree with,  was as follows: "The pandemic has helped catapult Americans in low-paying roles into more upwardly mobile careers-including jobs in the tech sector. The best part? No need for a college degree,

Though it may prove prescient, the last sentence is disturbing. Yes,  today's college degrees encompass a curriculum of soft courses that are worthless and do little to prepare students for anything meaningful, much less productive citizenship,

Second, college is not all "book learning."  College involves  a maturation process, exposure to peers and mostly occurs away from home. For our society to become increasingly comprised of those without a college experience might seem rationale, as long as colleges continue to offer dumb down courses.  However, if colleges return to offering a smorgasbord of solid courses taught by experienced senior level professors ,and at a sensible cost,  that would be a societal boon.

The ending sentence of the article suggests, because colleges are declining and overly costly, not pursuing a college degree is a positive. 

America's success is due to a myriad of reasons and college attendance  is one of them.

 Is the new Mayor of New York a black de Blasio?

An interesting observation in the WSJ:

 "Conservatives are far better at cleaning up messes created by liberals than envisioning big idea."

Do you agree?  I find this interesting because liberals, by nature, are always seeking to improve the existing. They are restless folk and unhappy because they always can find a reason why nothing is perfect and without need for improvement.

We are a nation of reams of legislation, lawyers, and failed execution. Big Government generally falls short in a big way.

And:

Blessed are those that can give without remembering and take without forgetting.

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he

asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money

from you, I'm doing community service this week’ The florist was

pleased and left the shop.

When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his

bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm

doing community service this week.’ The cop was happy and left the

shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a politician came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his

bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm

doing community service this week.’ The politician was very happy and left the shop.

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen politicians lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between

the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

As Ronald Reagan said: "Both politicians and diapers need to be

changed often and for the same reason.”
