California democrats Move Further Into Darkness : ''We Love Unemployment"!

Photo
The problem is democrats are self-serving and therefore corrupt.
Decades of criminals have run the state into the ground.
Why is that when any law that comes out of the democrat dominated government, it's always something crazy, sinister, depraved, unethical and morally bastardized. 

Is it just because more the 90% of the legislature are democrats?

Why is California considered the richest state when 1000's of people are fleeing that state every year? 

Who's rich? Who's poor? How many are rich and how many are struggling to make ends meet? The majority are being abused by the democrat majority in government at all levels. 

The motto of the democrats in control of life in that once great state is, "Pull up the rope, I'm aboard''. Screw everyone else!

California’s Latest Act of Idiocy: Killing Freelance Work
Jarrett Stepman / /

If there’s one thing the California government is good for these days, it’s failing to address crises that glaringly exist while creating new crises that shouldn’t exist—and then shifting the blame when everything goes wrong.

A new California law set to go into effect in the new year is the latest example of misguided legislation hurting the very people it was aimed to “protect” in the Golden State.

The law, Assembly Bill 5, puts severe restrictions on who is qualified to be an independent contractor or freelancer. The law puts heavy restrictions on how much work freelancers can do before being considered full-time workers.

The legislation was passed to reduce the negative impact of the “gig economy,” where workers do various jobs on their own time but don’t get the benefits or long-term employment guarantees of a traditional, full-time job.

The problem is, it appears that instead of aiming to hire more full-time workers, companies are simply getting rid of freelancers and independent contractors in favor of a smaller number of full-time employees.

Of course, the freelancer law has major implications for ride-sharing services like Uber—which is battling the law and working with other companies to amend it with a ballot initiative—but it’s having a huge impact on freelance writers in particular.

Vox Media, which supported the new law, announced that it would be doing away with most of its California contractors who provide content for its sports websites on SB Nation.

“In the early weeks and months of 2020, we will end our contracts with most contractors at California brands,” SB Nation Executive Director John Ness wrote in a post, according to Fox Business.

“This shift is part of a business and staffing strategy that we have been exploring over the past two years, but one that is also necessary in light of California’s new independent contractor law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020.”

There’s no question as to where the problem lies: The new law limits freelance contributions to 35-a-year to a single company, which in many cases is a tiny number for freelancers.

Billy Binion, writing for Reason, pointed out what this means for writers: “The 35-piece per publication limit comes out to less than one piece per week. Anyone who writes a weekly column, for instance, is likely out of a job if their publisher cannot hire them as an employee.”

Businesses and publishers in general now have an incentive to stay away from California workers and writers.

“If I’m a publisher from out of state,” said David Swanson, a San Diego writer who is the outgoing president of the Society of American Travel Writers, according to the Los Angeles Times, “and I have a choice of hiring a writer from California to do a job, or somebody from Colorado or Texas or Canada or India—and I’d have no chance of being sued—who do you think I’m going to hire? AB 5 simply makes it unattractive to hire writers from California.”

The gig economy might not be the best arrangement for everyone, but needlessly killing thousands of jobs is the last thing California lawmakers should be doing. The impact on businesses will likely be bad, but for those now out of a job in the new year, it will be far worse.

For many, the flexibility of independent contract work is highly appealing and in some cases necessary.

As Laura Baxter wrote for The Federalist, the law could fall particularly hard on parents, students, and the disabled. For others, freelancing is an important supplement to income that will now be lost.

And for those who pursue the dream of writing for a living, freelance work is often the only opportunity to do so. With this law, many California writers are now being forced to choose between ending that dream or leaving the state.

California, the richest state in the union, is seemingly perfecting the art of encouraging mass homelessness and putting people out of work. (And right behind it is New York, which may soon be adopting a similar law.)

Instead of blaming their problems on President Donald Trump, maybe California leaders ought to reexamine the broken ideology that has caused their state—which has every advantage of wealth, climate, and geography—to become a national laughingstock whose residents can’t get out fast enough.

democrat Pelosi : Hate Isn't Enough! Absolute Power Is The Goal!


Just one more step and the precipice will become a reality from which there is no return. The fall into an everlasting darkness will be total! All that will remain is hate for oneself and anything that is successful by others.

The new democrat collective, formally the democrat party, is now wholly dedicated to the use of hate to divide the nation. What is actually happening is they are dividing their own collective of base voters that can see the evil and sinister maneuvering just for the sake of gaining power.


Socialism Masked As Peace And Harmoney : History Has A Different Look! Death And Destruction!


Centuries of history explains how socialism works for the destruction of the human condition, the spirit for success and prosperity. Progressive socialist believe living on the edge of destruction is good, in that everyone can suffer together.

And pay no attention to history where more then 100 million souls lost their lives in the last century from all forms of socialism. Now the ''new wave'' socialists, progressive democrats say they have new ideas and plans the will right the wrongs of the past socialist states which will bring life in our country as a ''community of subjects'' where no one has to worry about anything. Peace and tranquility will be the order of the day.

Sadly if you don't agree and accept the agenda and ideology of one size fits all, and what the leadership beleives is best for you, you will be taken to a place for reeducation, that will explain why the centralized authority and socialism is what's bests for you and for your family.

Winston Churchill, Prime Misaster of Britian said, ''Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. It's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery".

Margarate Thatcher, also Prime Minister of Britain said of socialism, 'Socialism fails as you run out of other peoples money'.

Stalin, socialist and communist dictator of the old Soviet Union told the staving people, as he murdered 30 million of his own people, demanded the motto for all communists, ''To each according to their needs and From each according to their ability''.

Again it is about national Securtiy, about a civil society under the law of our Constitution. Never vote for self destruction, Never vote democrat!

democrats believe they can bring back as a way of life, hate for everyone.

Climate Terrorists In Washington DC : We Demand Your Money!

This is interesting, asked if they can point to one claim from thirty years ago when much of this nonsense stated that has caused the planet to become polluted, not one of the climate terrorists could articulate anything that was demanded back then has come true today.

But no matter, pay no attention to those behind the curtain, they need more money, your money to continue to protest nothing.

Climate Change Protesters’ Traffic Tie-Ups Are No Way to Win Friends or Influence People

Lunitics by anyothe name are still lunatic! Mindless 
and depraved losers in a dynamic society!


The environmental zealots who regularly take to the streets of the nation’s capital for climate change protests clearly have never read Dale Carnegie’s classic self-help bestseller “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”

That’s evident from the demonstrations the global warming alarmists stage at downtown D.C. intersections during morning rush hours, unapologetically snarling traffic and creating commuter gridlock.

Causing motorists to be late for work and/or miss appointments is hardly the way to win friends among those they’ve seriously inconvenienced or to influence them to buy into the climate-calamity hysteria. It’s far more likely to alienate them.

For more than seven hours on Dec. 6, for example, hundreds of “Shut Down DC” coalition environmental activist demonstrators lived up to their billing, snaking through downtown Washington, blocking intersections with their bodies, banners, and other props, and forcing traffic to be diverted and detoured.

All the while, they beat on drums, chanted mindless left-wing couplets (“Hey, hey, ho, ho! / [Fill in the blank] has got to go!”) and barked calls and responses (“What do we want?” / “Climate justice!” / “When do we want it?” / “Now!”).

What the amorphous “climate justice” they “want now” entails is anyone’s guess, but it presumably tracks closely along the lines of the radical multitrillion-dollar Green New Deal scheme hatched by far-left freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D.-N.Y.

This much is certain, however: The enormous taxes and spending the Green New Deal would mandate would do a grave injustice to the nation’s economic climate.

According to news accounts, the demonstration in early December began at about 7:30 a.m. with a march from George Washington University to World Bank headquarters along Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, with gridlock ensuing at the height of the morning rush.

Later in the day, for two hours, seven of the protesters reportedly chained themselves to the door of a Wells Fargo bank branch, preventing customers from entering. Cheered on by octogenarian actress Jane Fonda—a longtime agitator who never met a leftist cause she didn’t reflexively support—demonstrators mindlessly chanted, “Wells Fargo, hey, you! / We deserve a future, too.” (Just as an aside, what’s with the left’s obsession with rhyming couplets?)

The bank, presumably targeted for supposedly helping finance the fossil fuel industry, should sue them all for restraint of trade.

When all was said/chanted and done, The Washington Post reported, “Despite hours of disruptions and tense moments between protesters and D.C. police, officials said no arrests were made.”

How is that even possible? Why does the city blithely allow these protests to disrupt traffic and inconvenience motorists and pedestrians, as well as businesses and their employees and customers? At minimum, why weren’t the most disruptive and unruly among the protesters not fined and/or arrested?

These protests, organized by groups with names like Extinction Rebellion, surely cost the city thousands of dollars for policing and security, so District of Columbia taxpayers are in effect subsidizing them.

There was no indication, however, that that seems to faze the ultraliberal city’s officials, many of whom no doubt support the protesters and their cause. Did either D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser or D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham issue to police a stand-down order? One has to wonder, inasmuch as 32 people were arrested during a similar protest on Sept. 23.

Regardless, do these climate change extremists really think they’re winning “hearts and minds” to their cause by grossly inconveniencing commuters, businesses, and others? To the contrary, one would reasonably expect they’re having the exact opposite effect, turning off those who aren’t already global warming “true believers.”

In the demonstrators’ self-righteous view, the end justifies the means, even if it’s counterproductive in terms of public relations. They went so far as to insist to those who complained of the inconvenience: “We’re doing this for you. It’s your planet, too.”

But this smug notion—“It’s for your own good”—is belied by a January poll conducted by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. It found that 68% of respondents oppose paying an additional $10 a month to combat climate change, while 43% aren’t even willing to pay an extra $1 a month on their electricity bills for that purpose.

More telling, the poll failed to include any mention of how much warming supposedly would be abated by paying an additional $1, $20, or $50 per month. In each scenario, the answer is next to nothing, and that would only decrease even further their willingness to pay such a tax.

Another irony, lost on these climate change Chicken Littles, was that the traffic tie-ups they caused resulted in long lines of cars idling, spewing more—not less—of the tailpipe carbon emissions they claim are contributing to the supposed impending climate catastrophe.

On its website, Shut Down DC insists that there’s “no time left for business-as-usual,” but regardless of how righteous the protesters consider their cause to be, D.C. officials and police need to remind them, forcefully, that the right to swing one’s fist ends where someone else’s nose begins.

A Love Afair With The Autmobile : The Car Above All Else! (Video)

This video is from the dim past, the 1960's that explains our love affair with the automobile. Harry Reasoner, if you even know who he was, narrates it. It's dated of course but still a close look at humanity from then and how things haven't changed all that much from today. Just the price of our toys, not the love afair.

Lizzy Warren : Days of Whine and Baloney!


Lizzy wonder why she is seen as out of touch with the general public. Could it actually be that she is totally from a different planet where most people there are enslaved to ignorance? Lizzy Warren has nothing to offer the civil society that will make their lives better. Trump has already done that!!

Still, million of people demand they be enslaved to a life of misery and pestilence and failure. Never vote democrat as life it's self is short enough already without actually speeding up the process. 


democrats Attack Success : Is That A Winning Agenda?

And the as the story goes, the democrat actually found a way to attach themselves to a successful agenda, except the success is already on the road to victory leaving the progressive socialists to bleet outside of the loop of success.

The democrats are flailing wildly looking for something they can use to try and destroy President Trump. The can't use issues as they have none, so all that's left is lies and deception.

Giant Sequoia Tree "President" : Alive Before Christ!

Incredable!! The trunk of The President measures 27 feet across, with 2 BILLION needles from base
to top.

Not every tree has a nickname, but 'The President' has earned it. This giant sequoia stands at 247 feet tall & is estimated to be over 3,200 years old.

Imagine, this tree was already 700 years old during the height of ancient Greece's
civilization and 1200 years old when Jesus lived while Rome was well into its rule of most of the western world and
points beyond.




Time Magazine Newest Cover : The Next Generation of Crazy!


Time magazine does it again explaining the future of our country in the hands of the next generation of lunatics. A life time of living a lie while taking advantage of everyone else, those that are working and surviving in civil society, that understands their narrative and ideolog to be just that, a lie.

No longer can the majority be fooled as easily as it once was. Yes they can still be fooled into believing the media is honest and factual based, but there is always that nagging feeling the general public is aware now of being used and abused to take advantage of them.

Why California is A Political Nightmare : It's Failure Is Generational!(Video)


This is dated but still very informational to explain why California is a sewer of corruption and abject failure. When a great state like California is run for generation by political criminals, the expectation can only be chaos and conflict.



Climate Change Concept Sinsiter : Spokes Person Flawed!


Mental retardation and mean criminal behavior are not good companions for demonstrating serious debate on any subject, especially on a subject like climate change that is unfounded and delusional. That just make the speaker contentious and diabolical in nature.

Former Intelligence Chiefs Worked to Overthrow The US Governemnt! : They Are All Free!

Photo
A criminal by any other name is still a criminal!
Again, nothing to see here as these former intelligence chiefs are all porgressive socialist liberal democrats working directly for Barrrack Ogbjmma to destory Donald Trump, the elected president.

That these former spy chief deliberately, willingly worked to overthrow the government of The United States, a nonviolent ''coup'' is of no concern to the democrat collective and the main stream media.

Given all of the known and proven information concerning these criminals and their sinister activities, why are they still free?

These Former Intelligence Chiefs Fit Perfectly Into Our Media Advocacy Culture
Victor Davis Hanson / /

Former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have lots of things in common.

One, they ran the nation’s key intelligence and investigatory agencies under President Barack Obama. They were deeply involved in the “Russian collusion” hoax. And they participated in the surveillance of the Trump campaign and transition.

Comey and McCabe both signed applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrants requesting surveillance on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. A report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz criticized Comey and McCabe’s FBI for falsehoods and misrepresentations during its investigation of the Trump campaign.

Clapper, Brennan, and the FBI helped to disseminate the fallacious Steele dossier to the press and among government agencies.

Two, Comey, McCabe, Brennan, and Clapper have all lied either under oath or in the public sphere.

Horowitz has said that he referred Comey for criminal prosecution for leaking classified memos he wrote about his confidential conversations with the president, but the Justice Department did not pursue charges. He signed FISA warrant applications that the inspector general has determined were misleading at best and at worst simply flat-out wrong.

In testimony before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, there were 245 occasions on which Comey claimed he couldn’t remember details or couldn’t answer questions.

Comey did not tell the truth when he said the Steele dossier was not the prime evidence that he submitted to the FISA court. He also lied about when he was briefed on the dossier.

McCabe was given a criminal referral for lying to federal investigators. His story about conspiring to catch Trump on tape in an effort to remove him under the 25th Amendment cannot be reconciled with the version of the account told by his apparent partner in that gambit, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Brennan has on two occasions lied under oath to Congress, first about collateral deaths caused by drone strikes abroad, then about CIA spying on Senate staffers’ computers. Clapper got caught lying about the surveillance of U.S. citizens and claimed he gave the “least untruthful” answer.

Both have given accounts of their knowledge of the Steele dossier that are contradicted by a number of sources. Clapper falsely claimed of the dossier that “more and more of it has been corroborated.”

Three, all four of these former intelligence chiefs detest the president of the United States.

Comey has compared Trump to a mafia don and stated that he is morally unfit to be president. McCabe, who was likewise fired from the FBI, has called Trump’s behavior “disgusting.” Clapper said that Trump may be working with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a Russian “asset.” Brennan called Trump a “disgraced demagogue” as well as venal, corrupt, and amoral.

Four, all in their post-Obama administration careers are either paid cable news analysts or frequent guest commentators. Clapper is a CNN security analyst. Brennan was hired by MSNBC for a similar role. McCabe is a CNN contributor. Comey often makes guest appearances on news programs as a political and intelligence expert.

In the most controversial stories, Brennan, Clapper, and McCabe are being paid to analyze theories, facts, and findings in which they themselves are often central players. As a guest commentator, Comey has weighed in on these controversies even as he distorts his past roles in them.

Yet such abject conflicts of interest are not the only ethical problems posed by these four. Until recently, all four held federal security clearances. Comey recently gave his up, apparently so he would not have to give testimony about classified information in the Horowitz investigation. The former intelligence officials sometimes gave us wink-and-nod suggestions that their television expertise was based on information not available to the general public.

In sum, we are witnessing a surreal collusion between the nation’s former top intelligence officials and the progressive media—beyond even the nightmares of so-called conspiracy theorists.

The most powerful intelligence chiefs of the Obama administration—Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and McCabe—have routinely offered the nation their own warped theories about wrongdoing in high places that are as self-serving as they are contradicted by facts.

The conclusions of both the special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and the Horowitz report are damning to the past analyses of all four.

In the advocacy culture of our new media, ex-government officials such as Brennan, Clapper, and McCabe can be paid to appear on news programs to analyze (or vindicate) their own unethical behavior.

As employees of the media, they sell their checkered government service to exonerate themselves while confirming the anti-Trump biases of their paying hosts.

Comey was never very strong when he was on his own. But let him be in the loop with a real power player like Barrrack, the man becomes a team player! And he was not alone at the FBI. Eric Hold, Barrrack's AG saturated the entire intelligence community, the State Department and nearly every other branch of the government with subservient warriors from top to bottom, just waiting for the call to action.

The New York Times ''1619 Progect'' : Socialists ''Real History must Be Destroyed''!

Photo
The problem of course is many unsuspecting voters are influenced by the mere fact it was the New York Times that used their platform to spread such misinformation and outright lies about our country.

But hey, the New York Times is just another outlet for progressivism socialism and the ideology of a centralized authority for being all things for all people. 

The law according to the New York Times is what the say it is, and if you doubt them, they will attack and destory you!

That the ''Times'' would advocate for a rewrite of American history simply to take power from individuals is not surprising in the least, after all they are progressive socialist democrats and willing participants in the destruction of the American civil society as it was founded 240 years ago on individual freedom and liberty.

These Historians Challenge New York Times’ Dubious 1619 Project
Jarrett Stepman / /

What makes America exceptional? Undoubtedly, most Americans would say our long-term commitment to self-government and the rule of law, and our extraordinary embrace of liberty.

Not so, according to The New York Times’ 1619 Project—named for the year in which African slaves were first brought to the English colonies in North America. The various New York Times authors apparently believe America’s unique quality is slavery.

The 1619 Project defines itself as an effort to “reframe” America’s history to define the nation’s “true founding” as one rooted—at its heart—in slavery rather than liberty.

It’s 1619 pitted against 1776. America, according to this narrative, has been and always will be exceptionally and perhaps irredeemably racist.

As I wrote in my book, “The War on History: The Conspiracy to Rewrite America’s Past,” this is a deeply misleading description of our history, but one that is becoming all too common in both popular culture and in American classrooms.

Yes, there was slavery and racism in our country’s history, and certainly the American people and our leaders have not always done the right thing. That’s something we should acknowledge and learn from, today and in the future.

And yet, America is still worth celebrating and taking pride in. You don’t just have to take my word for it.  Historians from across the political spectrum have come out against the 1619 Project as bad history wrapped in a destructive ideology.

Allen Guelzo, a renowned historian and professor at Gettysburg College, called the 1619 Project a “conspiracy theory” based in part on the drive to “tarnish capitalism.”

In a recent appearance at The Heritage Foundation’s annual President’s Club meeting, Guelzo explained that the 1619 Project aims at rewriting the narrative of American slavery:

''Not as an unwilling inheritance of British colonialism, but as the love object of American capitalism from its very origins. Not as a blemish, which the Founders grudgingly tolerated with the understanding that it must soon evaporate, but as the prize the Constitution went out of its way to secure and protect. Not as a regrettable chapter in the distant American past, but the living, breathing pattern upon which all American social life is based, world without end.

Guelzo is hardly alone in his criticism.

Two of the most prominent critics are Gordon Wood, a famed historian of the American Revolution, and James McPherson, a highly respected Civil War historian. Both criticized the 1619 Project in recent interviews.

Wood said he was surprised that a major project from The New York Times could be “so wrong in so many ways.” The interviewer noted that the authors of the 1619 Project seemed to be taking up the ethos of pro-slavery radicals who also denounced the Declaration of Independence as little more than fraudulent hypocrisy.

Wood responded: ''That points up the problem with the whole project. It’s too bad that it’s going out into the schools with the authority of The New York Times behind it. That’s sad because it will color the views of all these youngsters who will receive the message of the 1619 Project.''

McPherson was equally skeptical, saying that the project “left most of the history out” and he was “unhappy with the idea that people who did not have a good knowledge of the subject would be influenced by this and would then have a biased or narrow view.”

What’s particularly interesting about this criticism of the 1619 Project is both the prominence of the critics as well as the origin of the interviews.  Both were posted on the World Socialist Web Site, which is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, a Trotskyite socialist organization.

They haven’t just published these interviews, but also offered their own blistering critiques.

A recent article on the World Socialist Web Site called the 1619 Project “a racialist falsification of American and world history,” adding:

''Despite the pretense of establishing the United States’ ‘true’ foundation, the 1619 Project is a politically motivated falsification of history. Its aim is to create a historical narrative that legitimizes the effort of the Democratic Party to construct an electoral coalition based on the prioritizing of personal ‘identities’—i.e., gender, sexual preference, ethnicity, and, above all, race.''

The Trotskyites appear to be unhappy that traditional Marxist ideas about class conflict have been replaced by racial and identity conflict; they are even more unhappy that this ethos has been melded into Democratic Party politics with what they see as little more than the nihilistic ends of categorizing Americans into immutable and hostile racial groups.

Despite the sudden attack from a wing of socialism, it would be a mistake to think that the 1619 Project and identity politics as a whole are not being used for traditionally socialist ends.

As I observed at a major socialist conference in July, mainstream socialists have merged identity politics with traditional socialist ideas in spite of this leading to philosophical contradictions.

Undoubtedly, one can see the socialist influence in the 1619 Project itself, which published one essay specifically linking capitalism and slavery as inherently intertwined.

And that’s certainly not all.

One of the more bizarre and wildly inaccurate claims from the project’s headline essay is that the American Revolution was fueled by the colonists’ desire to preserve slavery.

This peculiar theory has been linked to historian Gerald Thorne, a pro-Soviet apologist who once wrote a letter to the editor in The Chronicle of Higher Education that was headlined “Stalin Was No Worse Than the Founding Fathers.”

So, should Americans now embrace the Trotskyites to counter the Stalinists?

Elliot Kaufman, writing in The Wall Street Journal, explained that the Trotskyites have some extreme ideas as well—their positive spin on the Russian Revolution, for instance—but these ideas are less likely to be “turned into lesson plans for schoolteachers.”

And the message that The New York Times is spreading across the country is that America is not only unexceptional, but exceptionally bad. This is deeply misguided.

America is exceptional not because it was simply perfect at creation; it’s exceptional because generations of imperfect human beings created and cultivated a nation that has brought genuine human flourishing to millions.

Despite those who say otherwise, the United States continues to be a shining city upon a hill, especially for those who see the world at its darkest and long for the pursuit of happiness that we take for granted.

Today, as new and potent threats to liberty emerge in our world, it is essential that Americans come to understand and deepen their appreciation of our history, reject the noxious identity politics that threatens to shatter the concept of e pluribus unum, and embrace an inclusive Americanism that can unite this country in the face of its challenges.

The war on American history—escalated by the deeply flawed 1619 Project—is a lost cause and provides little but dead ends.

''Peloton Bicycles'' Are Destructive? : democrats Attack For No Good Reason!

Photo
This is just another example of the ''New Wave'' politics of hate for civil society and the rule of law. Hate for the Constitution that guarantees life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The individual freedom to chose! 

For the disciples of the 'new wave', all progressive socialist liberal democrats, the agenda is to destory freedom and liberty so as to enslave the population to a sinister and deprave socialist liberal ideology. The ideology of a centralized authoritarian power that demands unquestioned obedience and acquiescence.

Never vote democrat, the corrupt foundation for failure to deliver anything of value, only depraved hate for everything and everyone that stands in the way of the greed for power, including themselves! They are self - destructive. Don't join in on their demise!

Peloton ‘Scandal’ Shows How Mentally Unfit We’ve Become
Armstrong Williams / /

We are fast approaching the end of 2019, and as we close the book on a turbulent decade, nothing summarizes the state of our culture and our unhealthy relationship with contrived outrage quite like the Peloton ad controversy and the wave of hysteria that has followed in its wake.

Imagine if we could channel that outrage instead into addressing our nation’s obesity crisis.

If you are not familiar with the ad or simply cannot believe that America—land of the free, home of the brave—is full of adults who are distressed over an exercise bike, a quick Google search will fill you in on the situation.

You will also find columnists in highly read publications and joyless hordes on social media claiming to be offended by Peloton’s latest ad, in which a husband dares to gift his already-slim wife a Peloton stationary bike for Christmas.

The commercial has been described as sexist, tone deaf, body-shaming, and reflective of outdated social norms—with every new critique against it more fantastical than the last. The backlash against the ad has been so severe that the exercise equipment company lost nearly a billion dollars in market value since the spot’s release.

This widespread hysteria is beyond absurd on many levels.

First, it serves as yet another shining example of one of our society’s worst qualities: the endless search for conflict in any and everything. It highlights our uncanny ability to turn a positive into a negative, a neutral into a catastrophe. What surely started as a creative and unassuming idea in Peloton’s marketing department has been stripped of its intention and extrapolated to fit the narratives and agendas of radical extremists.

Second, the people claiming the ad is sexist are actually doing their cause more harm than good. Making much ado about nothing and targeting a company in bad faith is not an effective way to move the needle on any agenda. It inserts offense into an otherwise harmless scenario and detracts from legitimate claims of sexism that surface.

Fake news falsely alleging prejudice only serves to create an air of skepticism around these types of accusations; it is akin to crying wolf.

Instead of manufacturing dissent about a milquetoast fitness ad, imagine if those screaming the loudest dedicated a fraction of the same energy to combating the country’s alarming and rising obesity epidemic. It is now estimated that 71% of Americans are overweight, with nearly 40% qualifying as obese.

Americans should be cheering for the growth of Peloton and its clear benefits rather than waging a search-and-destroy campaign against the company for a trivial commercial.

One positive aspect of this whole ordeal was Peloton’s early response to those claiming to be offended. Peloton did not grovel and capitulate and apologize to the mob like so many others before them. Instead, they issued a blanket sorry-you-feel-that-way statement.

In this age of overwrought indignation and attention-seeking fits of rage, too many brands and businesses immediately apologize and run for cover. Ironically, this rarely earns them forgiveness for whatever alleged offenses they have committed and only invites more finger-wagging and exaggerated claims of wrongdoing.

Ultimately, this Peloton saga is a tempest in a teapot, but it does signal where we are and the danger that lies ahead if we don’t make some healthier choices. Through constant needling and media-spurred mania, we have arrived at a place where we Americans are as flabby mentally as we are physically.

The age-old expression “a sound mind in a sound body” underscores the intrinsic connection between physical exercise and mental dexterity. Given the abysmal physical shape of our citizens, it is not surprising that we would have an equally abysmal mental state as well.

It is time to shake the dust off our gym shoes and get back to a healthy routine—if not for our physical benefit, then at least for our collective sanity.

If anything, Americans should get off Peloton’s case and instead get onto one of the company’s bikes.

Elderly Couple Know Data Works : Sometimes Not So Much!

It's Saturday so relax and enjoy a good laugh to start the day! (Maybe a least a smile?)

An elderly couple had just learned how to send text messages on their mobile phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy.

One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee.

She thought she would send her husband a romantic text message and wrote:
"If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you."

The husband texted back:
"I'm on the toilet.
Please advise."
