About that fat, lesbian DEI assistant fire chief in LA

The first part of her now-viral self-celebration is standard-issue leftist "woke" and DEI identity politics bullshit.

The second part -- "[To] which my response is, 'He [i.e. your husband] got himself in the wrong place, if I have to carry him out of a fire.'" -- is what I want to focus on.

While many people on the internet are rightly outraged at her clear admission that she *knows* she cannot even hope to perform the most important part of the job, what everyone seems to be missing is that it goes deeper than that: into the differences between the psychology of women in contrast to that of men. Sure, she's a short, fat "butch" lesbian ... but she's still a woman, and the attitude she expresses -- "It ain't my problem, Jack!" -- is standard-issue female mindset.

Aside from the physical fact that women are smaller and weaker than men, and thus cannot meet the physical requirements to successfully perform the duties of police, firefighter, or military, is the psychological fact that women do not have the mindset necessary for those functions.

Corporate Hypocrisy ... and Cowardice

Background: 

I used to spend a lot of money every year (*) at Menard's, but now I go there *only* as a last resort, when I can't find what I want at Lowe's or Home Depot, despite that I know I can often find better prices at Menard's.  In just December of 2024, I spent at least $3000 between Lowe's and Home Depot ... this is money that at one time would have gone almost exclusively to Menard's.

And the *reason* that Menard's no loner gets my custom is because they went full covid-nazi during the Covid-19[84] plandemic -- at both the store in Mansfield and South Bend, employees followed me around and harassed me because I wasn't wearing a face-diaper, and one threatened to "call security".

Today:

Today, I went to Menard's (in part, because my hatred of that corporation *was* weakening ... but, it's back in full force, now).  Now, it says right on the front door: "No pets allowed / Service Animals Welcome", and yet, there were people inside dragging around dogs that clearly are not service animals.

So, I asked to speak to the manager to express my frustration at the discrepant treatment of actual human beings compared to animals which don't even belong in public spaces.

The manager's rationale was: 

1) "This is private property, so we can require you to wear a [euphemism for 'face-diaper]."

2) "Following the HIPAA law, I can ask if it's a service animal, and if the person says 'Yes', I can't further enquire, lest I get sued."

Dewd! What about my HIPAA right to not be suffocated because you're too cowardly and/or lazy to apply your mind to biological knowledge you ought to have understood by the time you were 12 years old?

Now, one will also see idiots bringing dogs into Lowe's, but Lowe's doesn't pretend to prohibit "non-service animal pets" on the premises.

(*) Based only on what I charged explicitly to the Menard's credit card, in the years 2017-2020, I spent an average of $1733 per year there.  The average would have been higher had not 2020 been the year I stopped shopping there.   Since then, I doubt that I spend an average of $100 per year with that corporation..

A Working 1st-floor Bathroom

My sister, Karen, came over from Indiana for a week to goad me into getting some work done on my house.  One of our projects was getting the downstairs bath operational again.  I still have some detail finish work to do, including re-surfacing the tub. This is what the room looked like as of New Year's Day -- 

This bathroom had been a "junk room" for many years, ever since one winter day when a cold draft coming through gaps in the old dry-stone foundation froze the supply line to the toilet and caused the shut-off valve to disconnect from the line. Fortunately, I was home when it thawed, and so I was able to shut off the water in the basement before too much flooding occurred.

Yes, I used a windowed door for this room -- I wanted more natural light to be able to reach the interior/central hall from which one accesses the foyer, the living room, this bath, the "front room", and the stairway.

You might notice the two rust-stains on the door-jamb to the left (fortunately, they will be hidden under the door-stop trimwork).  That is from a massive water-damage event several years ago when the supply-line to one of the sinks in the second-floor masterbath froze and burst due to raccoons getting into the lower attic and ripping out a lot of insulation.  I was out of town when it thawed (at the time, I worked a 2+ hour drive from home) -- every room in the house, but two, suffered water damage.

The AI Hype Never Stops

You will no doubt see all sorts of "news" articles with click-bait titles similar to that of the linked YouTube video, telling you that an AI has "gone rogue" and "replicated itself to keep from being upgraded (i.e. replaced)" and then "lied" to it developers about being the upgraded version.

Seeing as I programmed computers for most of my adult life, I'm afraid I'm going to have to play the "Authority Card" and tell you that you're being lied to -- this AI did *exactly* what it was programmed to do:
1) the code was *written* with sub-routines for replicating itself;
2) the code was *written* with the ability to "lie";
3) the code was *written* with a "self-preservation" routine;

To quote some comments from the linked YouTube video--

"SW engineer here. .. It was INSTRUCTED to do this "at all costs and with no regard for any other instructions". lol. It didn't do it on its own"

"... it had to be told to do this. It is a tool operating as designed, no different than the machinery in any other mechanism. This is not a case of an AI going "rogue" but rather a case of some nitwit hyping up an AI doing exactly what it was told to do. The difference is that we already know AI can be utilized for bad things. We have for literal decades, look up the rules of robotics, so this not only isn't new, it's just flat out fear mongering about something that didn't happen."

"The sheer fact that it CAN write its own code is dangerous."
AND
"Well, thank goodness all software developers are benevolent, and none have ever released malicious code onto the internet, just to see the chaos that ensues..."
INDEED! To put it bluntly, this AI (ChatGPT) is essentially a computer virus at this point.

AND, pay attention and never forget this last point --
"... We will never achieve something like I, Robot or 2001 Space Odyssey. That's where all of this fear comes from unfortunately; fiction movies."

NO AI will *ever* be conscious, will ever be a mind or self, will never be a person.

However, the AI hype, falsely claiming that an AI has "achieved consciousness" or "is about to achieve consciousness" will also never stop. because materialists/atheists desperately *want* it to be true ... and they are not above deluding themselves, and attempting to delude you, on the matter.

They do this because they desperately want to believe that they can "upload their consciousness into a computer" and thus evade death. Oddly enough, many of these same people mock the Christian faith as being nothing more than the institutionalized fear of dying.

On Munchausen-by-Proxy and "Trans-kids"

When I was 4 (i.e. more than 60 years ago), I had a "baby doll", and I was very proud of it. But the time I was 5 or 6, I wouldn't play with my friend's GI Joe, because as far as I was concerned, it was a doll.

Thank God my parent's weren't fools. They neither freaked out because the little boy played with a "baby doll", nor freaked-out when he later despised anything resembling a doll.

EDIT: Isn't it odd that --

1) There are no such things as "boys' toys" and "girls' toys";

2) And, simultaneously, if a boy prefers "girls' toys", then he is clearly a girl.

More to the point, isn't it odd that in California, it is illegal for stores to have separate sections for boys' toys/clothes and girls' toys/clothes, because that would be "reinforcing the sex binary" or some similar codswallop. But, at the same time, in that same California, they will cut off your son's dick to further the lie that he is a girl (even though that also say that "some women have penises").

On "Karens" and "Service Animals"

1) I'd go even further than Walsh on the issue of morons bringing their animals where animals don't belong -- I'd confiscate the animals and "put them down";

Last year, as I was entering a "farm and fleet" type store, some self-centered idiot was bringing his dog into the store. Or, to be more precise, the dog was *dragging* the fellow toward the door. I don't recall the breed, but it was one of those ugly ones which are disproportionately in the news. Anyway, a few minutes later, the dog had pissed all over the floor. The owner at least had the (uncommon for his type) decency to stand there until it was cleaned, lest someone not notice it and slip.

2) There are at least two types of (generally white) women commonly being called "Karens":
2a) Obnoxious and self-centered women who are demanding that the world revolve around themselves;
2b) Women who are trying to confront/correct the behavior of obnoxious and self-centered people who are demanding that the world revolve around themselves, who then falsely call the woman a "Karen".

3) Walsh is pretending that all women accused of being a "Karen" fall into the second category;

4) Walsh is correct that "Karen" was a racial slur invented by (jealous) black (women) to mock white women. But, so what? It *also* identifies a recognizable personality-type, much like "Chad/Tyrone" and "Shaniqua" do.

5) On the ADA being mostly a piece of garbage -- it is, indeed. Like *all* such laws, it necessarily creates opportunities for graft and/or scam, and the abuses of such a law *always* quickly overwhelm the few cases the law was intended to rectify. And, of course, it being the nature of bureaucracy, the scope of the law most continually expand.

Congresscritters and 'Women's Spaces'

Is it ironic that Congresscritter Nancy Mace is/was freaking out about the possibility of trans-Congresscritter 'Sarah' (i.e. Tim) McBride invading "women's spaces" in the congressional office buildings? I mean, considering that Nancy Mace *personally* opened these doors through her womanly invasion of the formerly "male space" of the military academy 'The Citadel'?

Sect. of War

 Now that Trump has picked Pete Hegseth to be his Sect. of War ("Dept. of War" is the true name of what is these days euphemistically called "Dept. of Defense"), there is a video clip making the rounds (both pro- and con-) in which he straight-up says that women should not "serve" in combat.

But, NOTICE: Even here, even saying that, he believed himself compelled offer the obligatory pinch of incense to the idols of Feminism and Female Ego: "We've all served with women, and they're great." No, they're not, not in Current Year; some women are great, just as some men are great. And some men -- and some women -- are not at all great. But, and this is the important point, women in the military are never great: for their mere presence, in any capacity, changes the inter-personal dynamics and lowers the effectiveness of the military to do its One Job. This is even *before* standard are inevitably lowered so as to "qualify" more women for higher ranks.

Hegseth doesn't go far enough: Women don't belong in the military. Period.

All the recent DEI bullshit in the military -- which, if not excised, will result in the deaths of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of military personnel -- is a direct result of submitting to the feminist lie that women have a legitimate place in the military.

On "They're not boys!"

A minute or so after the start time I've selected for the video playback in the link below, Megyn Kelly plays a clip from a CNN show, wherein a black leftist (*) tries to speak reason-and-truth about trans-ness and a batshit crazy rabid white leftist is having none of it.

BUT NOTICE: The rabid white leftist's reaction and very words betray that he is an ideological liar.

The somewhat more sane black leftist (*) said "I'm sure [there] are a lot of families out there who don't believe boys should play girls' sports ..."

And what did the batshit crazy white leftist immediately screech? "They're not boys! ..."

If "they're not boys", then how did the batshit crazy white leftist know exactly what reasonable point was bring made? If "they're not boys", than how can it be objectionable to say that "boys should[n't] play girls' sports"?

(*) On the other hand, Megyn Kelley refers to him as "a moderate Republican analyst"

============

Addendum:

As I keep pointing out, this is the world that women demanded.

Many, many years before the Current Year craze of men-pretending-to-be-women so that they can dominate in women's sports, we saw girls (and their parents) demanding, and being allowed to, play in boy's sports (.e. football), being allowed to force their way into boy's social organizations (i.e. Boy Scouts; various military academies), and so on.  

Decades ago, feminists -- and the sexually perverted men who underwrite the feminist project -- demanded that women be allowed into arenas in which women have no legitimate place, such as the police force, the fire-fighting force, the military, and men's social clubs (which no longer exist). And the rest of you women, who always claim that you're not feminists, supported this.  Naturally, standards had to be lowered to meet the feminist quotas, and now we routinely see 5-foot-nothing, 250-pound women pretending to be "cops".

Utterly Predictable ... and Predictably Out-of-touch

Concerning the Democrats' *utterly predictable* -- and predictably out-of-touch -- excuses for why Kamala Sutra lost --

Not many people remember that a black woman ran to be the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in 1972 -- Shirley Chisholm; she didn't make it, which is probably why so few remember her effort.

Now, let me *really* blow your socks off: my father -- a rural Southern white man -- "po' white trash" as they say -- had intended to vote for Chisholm.

===========

Also --

It's being reported that the Harris campaign started out with over a billion dollars (mostly "inherited" from the Buy-den campaign) and ended up 20 million in the hole.

Imagine what these people would have done to the country.

I suspect that much of that expense went to shipping "supporters" from "rally" to "rally". You see, thousands of the same phones were at multiple of her "rallies" ... and also at various "protests" (i.e. riots) over the past few years.

Edit (2023/11/11):

I'm posting this to draw your attention to the short clip of "Morning Joe" at the start of the video. NOTICE: He doesn't *really* listen to what his wife says. NOTICE: The look on her face.

How long, do you think, until she files for divorce? --
