Islamic Extremist Argued That NFL Is Full of “Toxic Masculinity”

Well, El-Sayed has the AWFL talking points down

Abdul El-Sayed Argued ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Governs American Football

Abdul El-Sayed, current Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, previously argued that “toxic masculinity” governs American football while saying sports culture is rife with misogyny, racism, and homophobia.

Even though El-Sayed played football in his youth, he wrote in a 2021 Substack post that “toxic masculinity” thrives in American football following the resignation of Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden following revelations of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic language in his emails.

“The toxic masculinity at the heart of America’s most popular sport — and men’s sports culture more generally — is way deeper than a few emails or a Jay-Z turnaround,” El-Sayed wrote.

The current U.S. Senate candidate then reflected on his own high school football experience, saying that he enjoyed himself on the field while feeling alienated in the locker room due to “racist taunting,” adding that “bro” culture dominated football.

“On the football field, I felt free,” El-Sayed wrote. “And yet on the sidelines and in the locker room, I was fed a hefty dose of the worst kinds of racist taunting.”

Muslim is not a race. But, hey, we have hyper-leftist men hating talking points about toxic masculinity and some Victimhood all at the same time!

As some have pointed out, notice she is wearing a much more covering head cover than usual. This is the “toxic masculinity”, where women are treated as 2nd class citizens in Islam, where they can be beaten for any reason. Where women do as they are told. The AWFLs that support El-Sayed and the other Islamists are insane.

Your Fault(ish): California Could Super High Water Levels From El Nino

No one is surprised that the climate cult and their pet media would attempt to blame Mankind for all this, right?

California Could See the Highest Sea Levels on Record This Year, Thanks to El Niño

California could see the highest sea levels on record this year, thanks to a historic El Niño, climate change and extreme tides.

It’s the latest forecast for what’s expected to be a historically strong season, one that could cause major flooding and widespread damage in the Bay Area.

“Folks who really think about coastal risks are very concerned that the single highest sea levels are quite possible this winter in California, and that is going to be a problem,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, during an online talk on Monday. “This is almost certainly going to happen.”

The warning comes as the National Weather Service on Monday warned king tides may cause minor flooding along the Marin County coastline and along Bay Area shorelines this week through Thursday morning.

Forecasters said they’re anticipating coastal flooding during the “highest high tides,” expected around 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. this week.

Expected. Could. Possible. May. So, if it doesn’t happen who gets fired? And, really, king tides happen, as do El Nino’s. There’s no need to blame Mankind.

Good News: State Dept Has Revoked Over 175K Visa

It’s a good start

State Department says it has revoked more than 175,000 visas under Trump

The U.S. State Department has revoked more than 175,000 visas since President Donald Trump took office in last year, including stripping travel documents from foreigners charged with crimes, the department said Monday.

Another group targeted for revocations are those who celebrated the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to the department. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally made determinations to revoke visas of Cuban and Iranian nationals with ties to their governments.

The Trump administration has taken an aggressive approach to visa enforcement, at times sparking criticism from foreign visa holders and human rights groups that the actions were unfounded or politically motivated.

Obviously, this makes Democrats and their idiot judges upset, so, they will do everything they can to keep the murderers, rapists, criminals, supporters of Islamic terrorism, and more in the U.S.

PRC’s Climate Tax Hitting Consumers Nationwide

The People’s Republic Of California likes to spread the pain out to all Americans. Well, not the rich ones who can afford to pay extra while cruising in their big gas guzzling SUVs and private jets

Gavin Newsom’s ‘hidden climate tax’ hitting Americans nationwide, lawmaker warns

A California lawmaker is fighting back against an environmental regulation that he says is raising costs for Americans across the country via a “hidden tax” on a variety of goods.

Rep. Vince Fong, R-Calif., is leading legislation to roll back a Biden administration-era regulatory rule that effectively allows California to levy massive cost penalties on shipping vessels docked in its ports.

“It’s a massive hidden climate tax that’s being imposed on every single ship that’s coming into California. And so all of those costs now are getting passed on to consumers,” Fong told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Our ports, they work through and process over 40% of all the containers that come into the United States.”

Fong’s legislation would target the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authorization allowing California to enforce the rule, called the Vessel At Berth regulation, which was granted in 2020 under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s tenure.

It lets the California Air Resources Board (CARB) force a number of large vessels, like cargo ships, to shut off their diesel engines and instead use a state-approved emissions strategy when docked in the Golden State’s ports. A failure to do so could result in potentially tens of thousands of dollars of penalties — costs that Fong said are then passed to people buying goods delivered by those ships.

Let’s not forget, the CARB is made up of a bunch on unelected bureaucrats appointed by Gavin, and totally unaccountable to the people of California. Or anyone else but Gavin. All to solve a mythical problem.

AOC Shrugs Off Her Past Defund The Police Comments

Is this a good indicator that she’s going to try running for president?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shrugs off past ‘defund the police’ comments, joking ‘Woke 1 was crazy’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., dismissed her and other socialist politicians’ past extreme controversial comments on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, joking that the “Woke 1” era was “crazy.”

Host Jon Karl asked Ocasio-Cortez to comment on Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong and her controversial comments, such as calling for Thanksgiving to be canceled or for prisons to be abolished. Hong has sought to backtrack on some of her past views as she seeks the Democratic nomination in her state.

“I have a local city councilman that has this saying, ‘Woke 1 was crazy,'” Ocasio-Cortez said laughing, adding, “And I think that what’s important is that we have to assess what a candidate is saying now.”

“Saying now”, eh? Everything in the past was just yammering?

Karl followed by asking if there was a point when the socialist movement went “too far,” remarking that Ocasio-Cortez had previously supported defunding the police as well. Ocasio-Cortez clarified that most of these comments were made during the height of the COVID shutdowns with people more open to change.

“And I think that the doors were really open in trying to entertain any and every policy that was going to get us to a better place. And I actually think that the discussions that were had in that time were quite fruitful,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

She added, “I think that when we talk about crime today, it’s fundamentally different than the way that we talked about crime in bringing crime down, right? And I think that we all share the goals of having as low a crime rate as possible. I think that during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today. And I’m grateful that these candidates have the opportunity to present who they are to their electorate, and what they’re campaigning on in this moment.”

Well, the national DSA wants the police defunded. Gone. No more police. They also do not support AOC because she’s not sufficiently anti-Israel. She did say in response to NYC mayor Bill De Blasio asking for a $1 billion reduction for the NYPD: “Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget so the exact same police remain in schools.” That seems rather specific.

When Obama criticized her and the other defund Democrats she replied “The whole point of protesting is to make people uncomfortable.” And you still have this on her own website

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is among the proponents of the call to defund the police, and a recent post on her Instagram story on the subject quickly went viral, after it was screenshotted and shared by Twitter user Ashley Quan. Asked, “What does an America with defunded police look like to you?” Ocasio-Cortez responded, “It looks like a suburb.”

Most of those suburbs are run by Republicans, have a mixed political structure, or are DINOs (Democrats in name only). Little d Democrats, who aren’t nutbags. And are full of people who are not leftist, violent, criminal wankers, so, they do not need as many police. But, anyhow, does this mean she’s running for president? The defund movement doesn’t work as well on a national stage. I guess we’ll have to see when it comes to other political beliefs of hers she might change.

Climate Doom Is Making People Lonelier Or Something

Have I seen this one before? I can’t find anything in the archives. Maybe I didn’t touch on this? Regardless, this seems like more insane scaremongering from the doomsday cult (FYI, I cut most of the links out of the story, can always see them at the link)

Climate change may be making us lonelier. How heat waves and extreme weather disrupt social connections

Severe storms, heat waves and wildfires can shut down the social life of a community, flooding out festivals, canceling community events and keeping people indoors.

They’re also evidence of how climate change isn’t just changing the environments we all live in, but also impeding our ability to connect with one another.

Around the world, social connection is increasingly recognized as essential to individual and collective well-being. It keeps our brains active and can lower stress levels. During emergencies, social ties can also save lives. Relationships are conduits for timely information sharing, mutual aid and collective action. When temperatures soar, friends and neighbors share heat warnings, check on older adults or other community members who may need help, and coordinate community cooling shelters when formal systems are overwhelmed.

Yet, the effects of climate change may be weakening the very social fabric that helps communities thrive.

As extreme weather becomes more common and disruptive, the effects can impair relationships, interrupt routines and communication, and damage gathering places and the foundations of community traditions.

It’s called weather. Humans have done fine with the weather throughout our history. This is just the cult being the cult, doomsaying, blaming things that really have nothing to do with the weather and everything to do with the kiddies really just spending a lot of time alone at home, playing games, doing social media stuff, etc. Technology. Hell, they can be gathered in a group and they’ll all be staring at their phones. And COVID and the post-COVID world did not help.

Oh, and

No religious or spiritual life, too much focus on one’s own feelings, and the changing nature of work — with more remote and hybrid schedules —   were perceived causes of loneliness selected by around 50% of people who participated in the survey

Interestingly, Millennials are essentially the worst for loneliness, with Gen Z being more adapted. It ain’t global boiling.

“Faith” Leaders Rally Against North Carolina Requiring Law Enforcement To Work With NICE

Why does it seem that so many “faith” leaders seem to take the view of lawlessness and Leftism?

Faith leaders gather in Raleigh in opposition of immigration bill aimed at state agencies

Clergy and faith leaders gathered Saturday at Halifax Mall in downtown Raleigh for a prayer vigil for law enforcement and immigrant communities affected by a new law aimed at cracking down on undocumented immigrants in North Carolina.

With voices lifted and heads bowed, the event was a show of support from faith leaders for those affected by Senate Bill 153, a law that requires state agencies, including the State Highway Patrol, to cooperate with ICE.

“This is not what state troopers signed up for,” Rev. Joel Simpson from United Methodist Church of Taylorsville said. “It makes their responsibility even greater while pulling them away from good and important work they’re already doing across our state.”

The bill became law in June when Republican House lawmakers voted to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto.

All 153 does is require key state law enforcement agencies, the State Highway Patrol, Department of Public Safety, Department of Adult Correction, and State Bureau of Investigation, to enter into formal 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That’s it in terms of cooperation. They aren’t being tasked with going out and rounding up illegals, but, simply informing NICE when they catch one for something else, and holding them.

It also bans NC governments, all the way down to localities, as well as the UNC school system, from acting as sanctuary jurisdictions. Finally, it bans illegal aliens from receiving state benefits, including Medicaid, housing assistance, child care subsidies, and more.

Becky Showalter, who held a sign amongst the crowd, said she worries about the tough decisions officers may be forced to make and what it could mean for immigrants.

“When immigrant populations are not going to go to law enforcement now to report crimes because they’re afraid that they’re going to be taken away, we’re all less safe for that,” Showalter said.

Well, they can always leave the US and go elsewhere if the illegals are concerned
