The Newest Hotbed of Racism

Beware of Possible Local Racist Knitting Circles 

For some people these days, every single thing is about race. This article in Vox, a web site for low-information young people, reads like a parody. But I am pretty sure it is serious. The topic? “The knitting community is reckoning with racism.” Personally, I didn’t even know there was a “knitting community.” It begins with a young knitter who expressed enthusiasm about an upcoming trip to India on social media:
"On January 7, she blogged excitedly about her upcoming trip to India. She wrote that 2019 would be her “year of color.” She said that as a child, India had fascinated her, and that when an Indian friend’s parents offered to take her with them on a trip, it was “like being offered a seat on a flight to Mars.” She spoke of her trip as if it were the biggest hurdle anyone could jump: “If I can go to India, I can do anything — I’m pretty sure."
Templer, it should be noted, is white. Que the nearest person with low self esteem who defines existence by skin color and waiting to be offended....
"As someone who is mixed-race Indian, to me, her post (though seemingly well-meaning) was like bingo for every conversation a white person has ever had with me about their “fascination” with my dad’s home country; it was just so colorful and complex and inspiring. It’s not that they were wrong, per se, just that the tone felt like they thought India only existed to be all those things for them." 
Following a major controversy in the online knitting community, the offender offered a Maoist apology:
"Templer has since apologized for her post, writing, “It took women of color pointing this out for me to see it … which is not their responsibility, and I am thankful to them for taking the time,” and that she’d be continuing to raise visibility of people of color (and specifically black/indigenous POC) knitters and their work."
Social media makes pointing out someones perceived or imaginary racism easier than ever. For weeks, knitters have used Instagram, and specifically Instagram stories, to share their observations, tag other knitters, and conduct polls about others’ experiences with racism in the community. Hundreds of people have shared stories of being ignored in knitting stores, or being told someone didn’t think black or Asian people knit.

Wow, who hasn't been ignored by a lazy retail employee? If lefties can turn knitting into a hotbed of racism, what can’t they do?

A Quick Glance In The Rear View Mirror


For a little background noise this weekend a documentary from 2015 was on television while I was reading and enjoying a nice bottle of wine having a spot of  tea. The upshot to the program was that a dinosaur hunter found not one, but two civilizations in the same burial ground area; one from around 10,000 years ago and the other from 5,000 years ago. Forgive me for not paying closer attention.

Scientists propose the one that originated around 10,000 years ago was driven from their lush homes in Africa after a couple thousand years due to drought and climatic change that caused the sand of the Sahara to encroach into the area they were living in. The fishes and hippos moved on as well as all the other life that was flourishing. Signs of their existence are unmistakable as is their abrupt departure.

Fast forward a few thousand years and the Sahara again retreated and life again returned to the region. A new people moved in and the animals returned. But then again the desert moved into their territory thousands of years later pushing them out, leaving only graves and small traces of human life. History repeated.

The point. The people ten thousand years ago and five thousand years ago had nothing to do with the climate. They lived and died much like the animals they hunted. No cars, no planes, no carbon footprint of note. Yet the climate first provided and then took away their living space, twice in spans of five thousand years. Worldwide you will find similar stories, such as Sumeria. The Earth and climate giveth and taketh away. Our climate similarly has had some variation in the past few thousand years to present times, but it is nothing that we can control. We are less than fleas on the dog of the Earth. Otherwise you would have to believe that these prehistoric people could have, if they were only as wise as us, altered the climate five and then ten thousand years ago to control the Earth’s temperature and weather patterns.

To believe that is the height of arrogance, the acme of ignorance and the apex of audacity.

But, now comes the loony left that unless they are the truly brainless (which many are) understand climate as a tool to push for a socialist agenda for power and control; nothing more. I am sad that so many are fooled, especially the young who fall for this insanity and have lost the ability to reason. The climate has and always will change, but only the fool thinks that mankind has mastery over it.

At Least We Have Hope Now She Won't Be Breeding Any Little Leftist Idiots


Between adjusting her britches and wielding a large knife while discussing why she believes her little commie Green New Deal that has been called impractical by some and laughed at by others is so important during an Instagram live from her new swanky DC apartment on Sunday, Alexandra Ocashew-Cortex questioned whether people should just stop having children because of climate change.
“This idea that I’ve been working on this for x-amount of years, um, it’s like not good enough. Like we need a universal sense of urgency and people are like trying to introduce watered-down proposals that are frankly going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us. 
Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don’t turn this ship around and so it’s basically like there’s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult, and it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know,  Is it okay to still have children? 
Financially, because people are graduating $20-, $30-, a $100,000-worth of student loan debt, so they can’t even afford to have kids in a house. Also this basic moral question, what do we do?”
I would laugh, but there are people who are actually listening to and taking seriously this imbecile. And while it might seem to be a good thing reducing them from the gene pool, in her case I whole-heartily agree. But what really would happen is that depopulism would enter the zeitgeist to our country's ruin. My run of enjoying her idiocy is about over. This woman is dangerous.

A Good Monday Morning

An Honor Worthy of Nancy Pelosi. President of the Failed Republic Of The Rio Grande

The Empress Of Botox - President of the Rio Grande

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was appointed the honorary 'President of the Rio Grande' by the mayor of Laredo Texas, Pete Saenz, during a ceremony in Laredo on Friday. The Mayor explained to the crowd that before joining the United States, Laredo was the Capitol of the Republic of the Rio Grande.
“While the Republic was short-lived, ten months in all, we still have that spirit of freedom.  So, it’s my honor, Madam Speaker, to present to you the keys of our city but also to be the honorary president of the Republic of the Rio Grande.”
Saenz then presented Pelosi with a key to the city and a framed proclamation. “Hey, we have a woman president,” Pelosi said and called the honor “unfathomable,” adding that she would display the proclamation in the Speaker’s office with “great pride.”

Now I find it a bit ironic, as I'm sure my many Texan friends will too, that Pelosi is given such an honor seeing the The Republic of The Rio Grande was an attempt at independence from Mexico that was brutally put down by a controlling authoritarian government, you know, the kind that Pelosi and her minions represent, or that Pelosi was honored for anything at all inside the borders of the Great State of Texas. But, here we are. 

Congrats Nan. The little girl from Baltimore finally done good.....
