Public School food Nazis

Welcome to twenty-first century public school where compulsory education statists rifle through the lunch boxes of hapless captive children looking for contraband in the form of forbidden foods. Mind you, not illegal recreational drugs, but ordinary desert.

This particular horror story comes to us from Australia but could just as well from the heartland of America. Public school food Nazis everywhere are claiming the right to dictate what mothers can pack their kids for lunch. That’s right. They’re telling us what your child can and cannot eat.  

You see, these Nazis have come up with a school “healthy” foods policy. Banned foods on the list are any "that may contain excess energy (kilojoules), saturated fat, added sugar and/or salt." This means that sweet deserts are taboo. A piece of cake is a no-no. Soda pop and deep-fried foods? Forget about it mom; they’re on the no-no list too.

A loving Australian mom found this out the hard way when she packed a slice of chocolate cake in her kindergartener daughter’s lunch bag for her to enjoy at school. It set off alarm bells when the authorities opened the bag to inspect the contents for food contraband as it absolutely violated the school healthy foods policy. Chocolate cake falls into the “Red Food Category.” It’s too sweet. It tastes too good.

So they confiscated the food and sent the poor little kid home with a nasty note saying: “Your child has chocolate slice from the Red Food category today. Please choose healthier options.”

They’ve got some nerve, don’t they?

What else can we expect from public school food Nazis?

Behold: the face of today’s Democrat Party

This is the ugly scruffy face of America’s Democrat Party today: a morbidly obese moronic ultra-left-wing radical pig whose single pathetic mission in life is to sabotage the Presidency of Donald Trump by any intellectually dishonest means possible.

“First,” he lies, “let's acknowledge what we all know to be true: Trump is in deep, deep trouble -- in the pocket of Russians, surrounded by alt.right idiots, alone in his bathrobe in a mostly-empty White House -- and caught inside a disgusting "shit-sandwich", so said his supporter who turned down the NSA job.”

That’s right, Michael; just tell your leftist comrades a sack of transparently bold faced lies about “the dark force that is Trump,” and expect them to be believed. “We can tie him up in knots at every turn, and eventually, we can bring him down,” exalts Moore.  If his cohorts believe the rubbish, then mainstream Americans will surely believe it too, he thinks, and the Democrat Party will regain its power.

“Remember -- A call a day keeps the Trump away.”

Moore wants every Democrat to contact by telephone all their congressional representatives every day to endlessly nag, bitch and harass them about everything Trump says and does. They must tell each representative every day to vote “No” on, or otherwise try to block, every item of Trump’s congressional agenda. “These politicians freak out if they get just 10 calls on an issue. Imagine them getting 10,000! Holy crap - the dome will pop off that building!”

Sounds like a great way to gain lasting friendship and credibility with their politician representatives on both sides of the aisle, doesn’t it?

“Start your own personal Rapid Response Team,” Moore urges his cretin followers, “so you can all leap into action (like we did at the airports the hour after Trump signed his Muslim Ban)… Come up with a name for your RAPID RESPONSE TEAM -- mine is called ‘The V for Vendetta Rapid Response Team’ and it consists of myself, my daughter and son-in-law (and their new baby!); my two sisters, their spouses and adult children; my cousin; 8 friends; 6 co-workers; and my next door neighbor. 

You see, Michael Moore admits that he’s on a political vendetta against Trump.

“Join some of our great national groups,” like Black Lives Matter and Democratic Socialists of America says Mike. “It's critical that large numbers of us continue to march, protest, sit-in, and be very visible -- to Trump, so he knows we are the majority; to put the Dems on notice that we expect them to grow a spine – take over the Democratic Party… the old leadership has to go… if we don't enact a radical overhaul right now, we are doomed as far as having a true opposition party during the Trump era. And that, more than anything, will help to usher in the vice-grip of a totalitarian culture.”

And on, and on… says Michael Moore. If his is the face of today’s Democrat Party, I think it’s safe to say that President Trump and the rest of mainstream America have nothing to worry about for the foreseeable future.  

Taxing farts

I swear that the statist morons of this world would tax our farts if only they could find a way to count them. But they can’t yet so the next best thing will be to tax all the machines and technological inventions which make our lives better.

First on the statist agenda: robots.

That’s right. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world said recently that robots that “steal” human jobs should pay their fair share of taxes. “Right now, says Bill, the human worker who does, say, $50,000 worth of work in a factory, that income is taxed and you get income tax, Social  Security tax, all those things… If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you’d think that we’d tax the robot at a similar level.”

Robot taxes could help fund projects like caring for the elderly or working with children in school, Bill explained. You see, as the thinking goes, when robots can be programed to do jobs that humans do, and start doing those jobs, then the humans will not only be out of work but won’t be paying any taxes. It has been estimated that as much as 50% of human jobs are vulnerable to robots, which could result in the loss of about $2.7 trillion in the U.S. alone.

Well, I have a news flash for Mr. Gates. We’ve been paying robot taxes now ever since the invention of the wheel. How many human jobs do you think the wheel “stole” over the last few millennia? You can bet that governments everywhere have found just about every way possible to tax all the benefits to mankind resulting from wheels.

And what have all the humans done in that time after their jobs were “stolen” by wheels? Well, they’ve been forced to go out and find other jobs. When automobiles were invented, for example, all the humans working in the horse & buggy business and cleaning up horse shit in the streets had to find new jobs. And what did the governments do when they found all those new jobs? It taxed them, of course; that’s what happened. And then it taxed all the automobiles too.

Almost nothing remains untaxed in this life.

But Dr. Keith Ablow, psychiatrist, resident moron, and member of the Fox News Channel Medical A-Team, still thinks that President Trump should put a stop to robots from “stealing” jobs.

“A very simple thought occurred to me while I was scanning my own merchandise and swiping my own credit card while checking out at a Home Depot in Massachusetts this past weekend,” says Ablow:  “Why does everyone seem to be okay with this? There was no human being getting paid to ring up and bag my merchandise. Nor was there a worker at several other checkout lines. And no one was raising any red flags about the fact that machines had obviously put people out of work.”

“Why,” he muses, “does our culture seem to applaud every technological advance uncritically, without considering its impact on the employment of human beings? Sure, it will be cool and convenient when Amazon starts delivering packages by drone, within 30 minutes, but it will also put many delivery personnel and, perhaps, postal workers out of work.”

Apparently the good Dr. Ablow thinks that all advances in technology – advances which make all our lives immeasurably better -- should come to a screeching halt by order of the government if it results in some people having to find other ways to make a living.  He thinks people should still have jobs cleaning up horse shit in the streets.

So Bill Gates’ software and Michael Dell’s computers should never have been permitted because of all the many thousands, perhaps millions, of jobs they “stole” from human beings. Washing machines, refrigerators -- every technological advance you can think of -- have been responsible for putting some people out of work in one way or another. What happened to those people? They found other jobs.

There will always be plenty of jobs. There will always be plenty of opportunities for the government statists to tax all the people doing those jobs.

And when the statists can come up with a way to count them, you can bet that they’ll start taxing our farts too. 

Beached

Hundreds of whales have died after beaching themselves at a remote beach in New Zealand recently. It happens all the time. Human volunteers often try to save the whales by attempting to refloat them into deeper water only to watch them swim right back to the beach. Eventually they have to be euthanized. Scientists are baffled by the phenomenon.

We’re equally baffled by the same phenomenon occurring in the “Golden State” of California where goofy leftist politicians are hell bent on beaching the paradise into bankruptcy with ever higher taxes and regulations.  

After decades of Democratic control, California now faces an unfunded pension liability of several hundred billion dollars brought about by voracious public sector unions and high minimum wage laws. Taxpayers and the middle class are fleeing the state in droves because of skyrocketing income and property taxes, housing costs and environmental regulations. California enjoys the highest poverty rate in the United States.

California Democrats continue to blame everyone but themselves for the state’s growing problems despite the fact that they occupy over two-thirds of the seats in both the Assembly and State Senate, as well as all eight statewide elected offices. Their solution is to just keep drifting further and further left toward the beach.

Now California lawmakers have introduced a new bill that will use taxpayer dollars to help low-income residents go on beach vacations. Can you imagine that? The huge amounts of welfare, subsidies and other freebies, such as food stamps, etc., showered upon the “needy” is not enough to satisfy these leftists. They want the taxpayers to foot the bill for their beach vacations and the like – stuff they might like but certainly don’t need.  

What’s next? Vacations to Europe; Caribbean cruises; second homes; new cars every year?  They want votes and they’re willing to use taxpayer money to buy them. 

Wiser heads have tried to rescue the people from the land of fruits and nuts; to refloat them as it were, but they just keep swimming right back to be stranded on the shore – beached. 

ISIS idea of religious morality: torture kids to death

Islamic State morality police practice a curious form of discipline for 10-year-old little girls found outside their homes without a male escort: they’re tortured to death with iron fangs.

You see, any female regardless of age who goes outside all by herself is potentially committing a capital offence against the morals of the Islamic State. So when 10-year-old Faten, a little girl living in ISIS occupied Mosul, was helping her mother clean house she accidently stepped outside without a proper escort whereupon she was confronted by a squad of women working as hisbah (morality police) for the Islamic State’s all-woman Al-Khansaa Brigade. 

The Muslim morality goons told the child’s mother that the penalty for this egregious transgression of Islamic law would consist of being subjected to a number of “bites” by the “The Biter,” a medieval torture device shaped like a set of iron fangs.

Mother was given the option of suffering the punishment on behalf of her daughter but she declined and watched while her little girl took the abuse as the brigadiers went to work on her with the “The Biter.” Little Faten ultimately bled to death from the wounds inflicted by the sharp teeth of torture device.

So much for everyday life under the Islamic State in Mosul, Iraq – this is the kind of horror the Muslim religious fanatics plan for all the little American girls and other females after they take over our country and implement sharia law. They’ll be whipped mercilessly – sometimes to death -- for failing to wear the mandatory full-body covering and for any other transgressions of the draconian morality code, such as breast feeding a baby in public. 

That’s the official ISIS idea of religious morality: torture little girls and women to death. 

Sex crazy

What is it about the subject of sex that makes some judges get the crazy notion that donning a black robe and ascending the bench gives them a license to exceed their legal judicial and constitutional authority? 

Twin Falls, Idaho Judge Randy Stoker, for example, thinks he has the authority to order defendants on probation in his court to either get married or remain completely celibate. The problem with that, however, is that there are absolutely no provisions in the Constitution or the laws in the United States of America which grant him that authority.

A 19-year-old pled “guilty” to the “crime” of engaging in consensual sex with his 14-year-old girlfriend. He was convicted of “statutory rape.” In other words, he was found “guilty” under a fiction invented by the legislature which labels him a “rapist.” He’s considered “guilty” of “rape” for doing what male and female human beings have been doing naturally and willingly since the origin of the species.

In fact, any believer in God and the Bible (Genesis chapter 9) who thinks that God created mankind would conclude that, as biologically mature individuals each with hormones raging in their veins, they were doing exactly what the Lord intended. After all, there is nothing whatsoever in the Holy Bible prohibiting “statutory rape.”

Never-mind that.  Judge Stoker sentenced the defendant to 5 to 15 years in prison. Fortunately for the young man, all but one year of the sentence was suspended provided he completes a so-called therapeutic rider program. Unfortunately, however, after completion of the program he’ll be released on probation under the arbitrary condition that he not engage in sex with anyone unless he gets married.

Apparently, Judge Stoker thinks that the 19-year-old man likes sex too much so he had better either get hitched or stay celibate or go the slammer for 15 years.  “If you're ever on probation with this court, a condition of that will be you will not have sexual relations with anyone except who you're married to, if you're married,” admonished the judge.

How many 19-year-old males do you know who aren’t obsessed with sex?

And Judge Stoker is sex crazy. 

Pulpit politics

President Trump is not a particularly religious man but he likes to pander to the evangelical Christians who helped get him elected. He tells them what they love to hear – that their religious freedom is “under threat,” and he’s going to eliminate the threat.

Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Religious liberty is alive and well in the United States of America. The First Amendment guarantees free exercise of religion and speech to all and those fundamental constitutional freedoms are not under any threat.

Nowhere in the Constitution, however, is there any guarantee that churches and religious institutions enjoy tax exempt status.  Ordinary individuals and business entities are forced to pay taxes. If you or I own a home we have to pay property taxes. If we earn income we have to pay income taxes. All businesses, partnerships and corporations are obligated to pay taxes whether we like it or not – but not churches – they’re allowed to compete unfairly.

Where, if not in the Constitution, do churches and religious institutions claim any unfettered right to be free from paying their fair share of taxes on property and income just like all other individuals and entities? The fact is that tax exemption is a privilege, a gift allowed them under the laws of all 50 states and the federal government.

Tax exemption is not a fundamental constitutional right; it’s a privilege. As with any legally recognized privilege there might be reasonable rules and restrictions which must be complied with if the privileged entity wishes to retain the privilege. On the federal level, for example, there is an IRS rule (rarely invoked) which provides that the tax exempt status privilege can be lost if the privileged entity, a church for instance, crosses the line from religion into partisan politics.

In theory then, if a church or religious institution engages in partisan politics such as endorsing candidates from the pulpit and actively participating in elections – activities with which it enjoys a fundamental Constitutional right -- it should be required to pay taxes just like the rest of us peons. It enjoys a constitutional right to engage in pulpit politics, but no right to be free from taxation.

Not surprisingly, many churches and religious institutions don’t like the remote possibility that their privileged tax exemption status might be lost if they engage in partisan politics. They insist on eating their cake and having it too. So this week President Trump promised at the National Prayer Breakfast to give them free reign to engage in partisan pulpit politics without fear of losing their generous gift of tax exempt status. He vowed to get rid of any restrictions on their privilege.

Can you imagine situations in which religious institutions can continue to enjoy the privilege of not paying any taxes while at the same time spending their considerable resources to create Political Action Committees (PAC’s), openly engaging in influencing partisan elections, and permitting their donors to get tax breaks for political contributions? Talk about mixing partisan politics with religion – this would take it to the absolute limit.

Why not just eliminate all tax exempt status privileges, Mr. President? Or why not give the privilege of tax exempt status to everyone? It’s not fair that churches can avoid paying their fair share of taxes while the rest of us are paying through the nose. Why should the religious businesses get special treatment that makes them filthy rich while the rest of us are forced to struggle under the yolk of taxation?

I, and most of my fellow Americans,  say that loss of the unfair tax exempt status privilege is a proper consequence for churches engaging in partisan pulpit politics.
