If you want to see how absurdly repressive the whole country will soon be if Democrats further consolidate power, look to deep blue states like New York:

Individually wrapped cheese would be largely banned under a far-reaching bill getting pushed by New York environmentalists and politicians to reduce the use of plastics…

Plastic represents the greatest advance in materials science since the bronze age. It makes modern life possible. Applied to food, plastic benefits public health by preventing spoilage and contamination. But it is petroleum-based, so liberals regard plastic as ideologically unclean.

The state bill — called Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act — would require companies with net incomes over $1 million who sell or distribute food or products to reduce plastics and other packaging that ends in landfills or waterways by 50% over the next 12 years.

Statism, AGAIN

As in Chicago Crazy, The Other McCain always notes that Crazy People are Dangerous. And Crazy Cities are even Crazier

There is a widespread mental health problem in Chicago:

Protesters showed up Thursday night at a Chicago Police Board meeting demanding the firing and prosecution of officers who fired 96 shots at Dexter Reed during a traffic stop last month.
Dozens packed a conference room at CPD Headquarters, 3510 S. Michigan Ave., in Douglas, while dozens more waited behind barricades outside, clamoring to be let in. Hundreds had gathered for a rally in support of Reed outside headquarters earlier in the evening

Yes, you read that right. These nutty. Race pimping dirtbags want police punished for shooting a dangerous felon for opening fire on the police,……..

Grace Patino, with the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, said during public comment that Chicago police Supt. Larry Snelling — who was at the meeting — should be dismissed.
“Dexter Reed should be here today,” Patino said. “The officers involved in the execution of Dexter Reed must be immediately fired and prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.”
“We need an immediate end to pretextual traffic stops, and Larry Snelling should be fired,” she added to loud applause.
Miracle Boyd, an activist with Good Kids Mad City, said Reed was “racially profiled,” and his death was detrimental to Black communities.
“We demand the tactical units be banned, and Mayor Johnson, Supt. Snelling and COPA fire the officers,” she said. “We no longer need police to perform traffic stops because it’s not safe.”

Got that? No more traffic stops in Chicago. This is insane — a demand to end enforcement of traffic laws, because Dexter Reed got killed after he shot first in a confrontation with five police officers. Do these people think it’s irrelevant that Reed shot first? Do they care nothing about the facts that (a) Reed was packing a 9mm pistol despite (b) being out on pre-trial release for a 2023 weapons charge, and (c) this shooting happened in one of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods? (See “What CNN Didn’t Tell Its Audience About the Police Shooting of Dexter Reed Jr.,” April 10.)

If you are sane (unlike Democrat voters in Chicago), you are not likely to believe Reed was “racially profiled,” except insofar as at least 70% of the shootings in Chicago involve black suspects, so that if cops in Chicago want to “get guns off the street” (as liberals keep telling us they want to do), they’re probably not going to be looking for Korean suspects.

Was the death of Dexter Reed “detrimental to Black communities”? Perhaps someone should ask Dexter’s uncle about that:

Before Dexter Reed shot a Chicago police officer during a traffic stop and set off a gunfight that claimed his life, he was seriously wounded in another shooting over two years earlier when he threatened to kill a family member while brandishing a knife, records show.
Police records indicate Reed was in the throes of a mental health crisis when he attacked his uncle in August of 2021, leading his uncle to shoot him. Reed was left in a coma for weeks and struggled with his mental and physical health as he recovered.
Amid a series of lawsuits Reed filed after he was shot in 2021, he acknowledged that he suffered from schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Folks, go read it all, this is Bizarro World On crack frankly. Thecsolution to crime, VIOLENT CRIME apparently, is to punish police and allow thugs to run wild……. Beam me up Scotty

“Social media isn’t real life.” It’s a phrase we hear a lot. But is that really true?

When Congress threatened to block China from controlling TikTok, the company riled up a mob of tweens to threaten Congress. If the Senate gives in, the outcome will be real enough.

TikTok certainly is real life. If you doubt it, look at the rate of teenage girls who have themselves mutilated because of trans trends on the app, even younger girls who killed themselves over material in the app’s algorithm or the spread of verbal or motor ‘tics’ to teens over the platform

Social media isn’t real in the same way as the wind and the rain, or the laws of physics or economics, it’s an alternate reality spread through the internal realities of our minds.

Before social media, there was just media, the concentration of mass media, radio, film and newspapers that wrecked much of the twentieth century and killed millions of people. It is no coincidence that some of the most destructive social and political movements arose in line with the growth of the media. It’s impossible to imagine Nazism or Communism without the media.

What made people think that the Third Reich or the Communist revolution were viable? The Communists and Nazis were savvy propagandists who took full advantage of newspapers, film and all the elements of modern spectacle to concoct an alternate reality for millions of people. The crowds at Hitler rallies or Communist marches were living in their own version of the real world. And it was not until Hitler shot himself in his bunker or the Berlin Wall fell that they woke up to find that everything they believed had been as delusional.as anything on TikTok.

Social media is more unreal than media because, like Hitler rallies, it’s a mutual fantasy. TikTok denizens take that to the next level through triumphs over reality by claiming, for example, that Helen Keller never existed. Like a magical world, social media is a place where people can create their reality and then use intimidation and peer pressure to enforce it on others.

In this state of affairs, millions will believe that men can become women. And vice versa.

Go read it all. Pass it around

From The Other McCain. Who, I believe, can trust, unlike Democrats, who you can never trust………..

Kevin Boyle has a master’s degree from Harvard University. He’s also a mentally ill criminal from Philadelphia who is currently a Democrat serving in the Pennsylvania legislature:

A Pennsylvania Democrat providing a critical vote for his party in the state House is on the lam after allegedly violating a protective order related to abuse, authorities told The Post.
Philadelphia police issued a warrant for state Rep. Kevin Boyle on Tuesday after the 44-year-old Democrat, who has struggled with mental health issues but is still on the ballot for a primary election next week, broke the Protection From Abuse Order, a department spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Democrats control the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a razor-thin 102-101 majority, meaning his votes in absentia allow the party to pass legislation for the time being.
“We tried to address this situation this morning by asking that Mr. Boyle be placed on leave,” Republican caucus leader Rep. Bryan Cutler (Lancaster) said. “The Democrats are insisting that not only he’s not on leave, but he is in fact eligible to vote.”
“You’ve got an individual who has an arrest warrant out who is either a fugitive from justice and waiting to be processed, or they are in communication with him about his votes and therefore they are harboring him and should communicate that to law enforcement,” he added.

Funny, not funny as in ha ha, but funny as in WTF? how Democrats put winning politically, above everything isn’t it?

Mom was released from the hospital yesterday, and sent to a rehab facility for an unknown period if time.

The foot infection appears to be healed, but she needs some help with other physical needs. Balance and getting around the house being big ones. She is still suffering with mental confusion, memory especially. I do not know if there is anything to be done about that sadly.

I want to, again, give a huge thank you to those who gave to the GoFundMe fundraiser, I cannot properly state my gratitude

The page is still up if anyone wishes to give.

Any new donations would be used to, A- get my laptop fixed. B- to keep this blog going, and to C- buy a new microphone and restart my podcasts.

I do have an older site that is free, which I will start writing/blogging at. I would love to keep this one going, but you cannot afford what you cannot afford. So, I have about a month until this site is gone, and then, it is back to the If You are Left You Ain’t Right on WordPress.com

AGAIN A Huge THANK YOU for the support. Sometimes it is easy to feel alone. Y’all reminded me I, in fact, am NOT alone. God Bless Y’all for that

Sexual psychosis is a serious problem in our society. It should be treated like the illness it is rather than encouraged in the name of leftist politics. Maniacs like Layla Le Fey do not need egging on:

Le Fey, 44, was handed a combined 20-week suspended sentence for violent threats he sent to Helen Joyce and Kellie Jay Keen, two well-known women critical of gender identity ideology, in which he fantasized about butchering and dismembering them.

Le Fey says he is “interested in setting fire” to Keen’s home — with her inside.

Le Fey had also communicated his desire to “kick the s**t out of” her, rip her eyes out, and break her spine in a bizarre bid to “prove [her] point” that “some trans people are extremely violent.” That same day, Le Fey stated that he would enjoy either seeing Keen brutally killed by a “misogynist psychopath” or acting out the murder himself.

Lots more at the link. Maybe such threats need a harsher sentence?
