Cracker Barrel becomes latest company to flee Portland
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
That few?
Yeah, we live in a world where parody to show stupidity reflects reality. Frightning.
I mean, Cracker Barrel is the wytest restaurant that exists, I’m surprised Portland hasn’t kicked them out already.
They thought they could keep those crackers over a barrel.
What about the upscale Cracker Barrel, Bob Evans?
Portland is the wytest city in the west.
Hard to tell with everybody dressed up as ninjas.
Nice juxtaposition.
I assume the UAW still wants work rules like 45 seconds to fill the gas tank in an electric car.
Don’t worry, Ford will make it up in volume
Hahaha. I cracked that joke at Autopian. Nobody got it. Seriously, what if going through the leadership’s heads? Do they not see the giant iceberg ahead?
Most of the world is now financially illiterate. If you don’t believe me, read a Krugnutz column.
That reminds me, I have some Ford stock I have to sell. I bought it for $2.00 a share during carmageddon when they were doing everything right but got dragged down by GM and Chrysler’s mismanagement. Now all 3 of them are making dumb decisions because management gets lead around by government decisions instead of what buyers want. I miss the days when the automakers fought nonsensical gov’t decrees.
Hang on to it. They will either sell EV’s and profits will soar or they will get bailed out and stock prices will go up.
“Revelation of FBI Informants Shakes Proud Boys’ January 6 Trial”
What? Another of the many things our disinformationists pretending to be media called a conspiracy theory – that 1/6 was an inside job by Trump haters – is now also turning out to be a true thing?
Clown world…
This is about the FBI having an informant on the defense team.
I thought the issue was that one of the FBI informants that goaded the Proud Boys into doing stuff was still talking to them after 1-6 and even giving them legal advice while taking back any revelations of the Proud Boys legal strategy to the FBI and DOJ.
Someone please post the meme with all the spidermen in a circle pointing at each other and being found out as FBI agents here…
It’s FBI informants all the way down.

Skimming the story, it looks like they’re specifically targeting instances where children are being abused or hurt.
And isn’t that a perfect nose under the tent — no one can defend not reporting that!
Oh… and drug dealing, that harms the community so much… need to report that.
Oh… and anti-community thoughts, comrade…
The way the article reads, there’s pretty little chance of this passing this year – but the bill author is adamant they’ll keep pounding on it.
Of course they are. And, conveniently, since there’s no “for the children” exception to generally applicable laws, once that passes then the confessional becomes a witness stand and the priest a stenographer. How could something designed to create shame and emotional leverage have been co-opted by the state for such nefarious purposes?
“Your confession is being recorded for security reasons. All English speaking priests are presently busy. An Al priest will be with you soon. For more serious sins dial 1-800-SuperSin”
‘This would be a persecution of the Catholic church because a priest would go to jail before they would reveal someone’s sins.’
Time to make some more saints, if necessary.
Yeah. I’m pretty sure the priests would still be under the law of God to not reveal what was shared. It may have been a while since I’ve gone to church or the like, but I’m pretty sure God’s rules are still supposed to trump man’s rules. If the priests roll over, at that point the Catholic Church is just another big pseudo-NGO.
Given how they rolled over during COVID, I’m not confident that the USCCB has the balls to stand up to this.
That they haven’t excommunicated Biden and/or Pelosi doesn’t fill me with confidence, no.
As some have noted above, using child abuse is a brilliant tactic because who could oppose that. The other angle is that, given the recent history of the Catholic Church and child rape, I can only imagine the way this will be played if the church opposes it.
Oh, it’s a brilliant way to provide cover, I completely agree. When those laws pass, it’ll be an inflection point for the Church. Will they actually stand up for themselves, or relegate themselves to continuing to fade out as time goes on until there’s another schism.
“First-Citizens Bank will acquire Silicon Valley Bank: FDIC”
The corruptocracy ha another of the banks being used by the corruptocracy to fuck over the citizenry to bail out a bank that did real stupid shit to help the corruptocracy out. Odds are 100% US tax payers will foot the bill for the woke & evil social justice bullshit peddled by the god damned corruptocracy.
I’m sure the prosecution and the judge were shocked – SHOCKED – to learn of this, and will move swiftly to dismiss charges.
Nah, they pinky-swore that Loh didn’t tell them anything they weren’t entitled to know.
It’s like those messages they shared by accident. You’re just going to have to take their word for it. besides they’d never lie, they’re public servants!
“Nothing to see here, move along”.
Fuck me. At this point we should be filing cases against the FBI.
I no longer have any doubt 1/6 was a fucking government insider job and part of the effort to hamstring the people they were worried would discover they rigged, erm fortified, the 2020 election by making them criminals for opposing the corruptocracy.

No fucking way am I giving the IRS my money interest free. I will be sending them a check for what I was able to avoid having them take out of my pay check without triggering automatic audits or penalties on April 18th. For me the real evil days that compete with December 7th 1941 or 9-11-2001, tend to be that day in April 15th or 18th when the slackers want time off where the government robs me yet again to piss away good money.
And the real fun is that they’re robbing us for the money they pissed away 20 years ago at this point. They’ll be robbing 2 generations away for the money they’re pissing away this year.

Not sure if this just means the CA GOP is so pathetic, they figure they might as well grift, or the losers currently infesting the CA GOP can’t even grift / mess with foreign spies (hey there Swalwell!) unlike the Dems.
Either way, the CCP sure seems to be covering all their bases. Nice that we keep sending them the money and technology to ruin us, you globalist jerks.
So, some dude randomly announces that he is running for governor as a Republican, and that makes him a life long conservative? Something is rotten in this story. There is no background about the guy and his politics, no history of his positions, and so on. I am not buying that he is a RedStater, just a run of the mill con man, who saw a graft just sitting there, same with the PPP.

It’s time for Hollywood to grow up
This is hardly a controversial opinion, but as a member of the choir who’s been tired of capeshit since my idiot high school buddies dragged me to the Sam Raimi Spiderman in 2002, I enjoy hearing it preached to me.
The problem to me isn’t the fact there are so many superhero movies, but that the other stuff they put out is absolute trash and loaded with even more garbage woke shit making it unwatchable. I don’t need my entertainment to be as preachy as Hollywood has made it. Especially since all the preaching is about woke stupid shit.
I don’t think the movies have necessarily been overtly woke. The spin-off shows have been, but the main movies just suffer from good guy has special powers, and has to defeat bad guy with special powers. Good guy powers will win after the 2.5 hours are up.
I agree. That’s probably why the superhero movies got so popular in the first place, they were made for enjoyment and not overly burdened with messaging beyond the typical good guy/bad guy stuff.
I don’t mind a good superhero movie from time to time — but they’ve way oversaturated the market, and (more importantly) they’ve eschewed good for The Message for some time now (Marvel) or don’t-know-what-the-hell-they’re-thinking (DC).
Even if they ditched the capes entirely, though — the current writing in both movies and TV seems to be “recycle nostalgia bait, but make it for Modern Audiences and don’t worry about anything that made it good enough for people to remember”. So we’re looking at perpetual reboots and re-imaginings of any story they can get their grubby mitts on until people finally stop shoveling out for it. I don’t know what the actual creative people are doing, but they’re certainly ignored by the current gatekeepers.
“I don’t know what the actual creative people are doing, but they’re certainly ignored by the current gatekeepers.”
Practically all of them have been banned for not worshipping at the altar of wokeness.
Sounds like Pat is ready for The Marvels.
At least there’s been an upswing in horror and slasher movies again. Some of them even going back to the roots and going for the R rating instead of the PG-13 rating.
I’ve never been a comic book person so I’ve been tired of hearing about the superhero movies since being taken to see X2
I’m surprised the trend has lasted as long as it did.
For more than 15 years, the film industry has been colonised
Fuck. Off.
I watched spiderman: no way home last Friday. It was heralded as a good movie in a sea of capeshit mediocrity. It was still pretty bland and mediocre. I found it really hard to care about the characters and only really enjoyed the nostalgia to the sam raimi characters.
Unmentioned: the foreign markets.
“ daftly named characters in spandex, playing out inane plotlines against a brain-bleeding cacophony of cartoonish CGI” translates into something for Mandrin-speaking audiences much easier than a There Will Be Blood.
While I welcome it, Marlowe is hardly new material.
Superhero movies are big with international audiences. Nobody outside of the west may care about Scarjo and Kylo watching their marriage fall apart, but giant robots blowing shit up cuts across cultural boundaries and usually doesn’t piss off the CCP. They also pay the studio bills so the artsy stuff can get greenlit.
Nobody inside the west cares, either.

“Maybe you shared that viral video of Kimberly ‘Sweet Brown’ Wilkins telling a reporter after narrowly escaping an apartment fire, ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that! Perhaps you posted that meme of supermodel Tyra Banks exploding in anger on ‘America’s Next Top Model’ (‘I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!’). Or maybe you’ve simply posted popular GIFs, such as the one of NBA great Michael Jordan crying, or of drag queen RuPaul declaring, ‘Guuuurl…’” he wrote in an article published Sunday.
“If you’re Black and you’ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you’re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism,” he continued.

Lol.
Meh… I’ll give a pass to the immunocompromised to be concerned about any virus and take steps to protect themselves.
Until and unless they start arguing for all of human society / interaction to change for their benefit, at which point they veer strongly into “Frak off” territory.
One thing that’s puzzled me during the whole Pandemic Age is just how many immunocompromised there supposedly are (it is getting like frakkin’ gluten allergies… and for all I know may be related). Maybe that’s just a matter of modern medicine meaning these folks don’t just die early so the overall extant percentage is low, maybe there’s an environmental factor (like said gluten allergy) or a societal factor (keeping kids in bubble wrap so they never get an immune system)… just seems odd to me that there are supposedly so many whenever they need to pump the scare factor. And I’m sorry for those who seriously have to live their life that way — it must be hard, because fundamentally… nature is more than happy to kill us, and it must seem like it is trying extra hard for them. And if the risk/reward ratio for the shots works for them, have at it. Just don’t try to push the rest of us into your little sterile bubbles again.
Well one way to compromise your immune system is to take the mRNA shots…
As you point out”Immunocompromised” is the new gluten allergy. It was comical to me the number of people (some for that sweet COVID excuse to shirk work and some because humans are panicky morons) that suddenly were ‘immunocompromised’ or ‘high risk’ once COVID got going.
I got a stern comment from a coworker that my flippant and disdainful comments about the lockdowns and masking were not appreciated….his kids have ASTHMA and could DIE from COVID!
Fuck off slaver – an asthmatic
One thing that’s puzzled me during the whole Pandemic Age is just how many immunocompromised there supposedly are (it is getting like frakkin’ gluten allergies… and for all I know may be related).
A large number of people have immunology diseases. These diseases themselves don’t often cause immunocompromised systems, but the steroid and biologic treatments do. The conditions are after all caused by immune systems thrown in hyperdrive that have to be damped down. So it makes sense that the percentage of the population that is immunocompromised skyrockets as more advanced treatments become available.
But that doesn’t mean everyone with immunocompromised systems need to live like bubble boy. There is a lot of confusion about what immunocompromised means in the real world. Steroids used to be general immune system inhibitors. But now steroids and biologics are becoming increasingly tailored to target specific areas of the body, so that immunocomprised status is not a general condition. That distinction is lost on many patients and even their doctors.
These diseases themselves don’t often cause immunocompromised systems, but the steroid and biologic treatments do.
I have an immune disorder with mild, but annoying, symptoms. The doctor told me I either live with the symptoms or take an immune suppressant that makes me vulnerable to worse things. I went the lower risk route of living with the disorder.
I take an immunosuppressant for my MS, but I want to be clear, my life is not greater than society. And by that I mean trying to make the world safe for the lowest common denominator is a fools errand, and as we are seeing, is quite destructive.
I’m very skeptical of the electric car conversion. Without a similar revolution in power generation and transmission it just doesn’t work. I’m far from the first or only person to notice this. It looks like a tremendous boondoggle and it’s just getting started.
It’s a 100% boondoggle. Unless and until we make a large-scale transition to nuclear and start building new reactors like it’s going out of style, these electrification schemes are just a way of lining politicians’ pockets and lowering the peasants’ quality of life.
Even an energy infrastructure would not be as important to me as the ability to fully recharge in less time than it takes to fill my a small fender bender tocuhed your battery system out of fear the thing will burn up in your garage. Fuck dat shizz.
It’s not just an energy infrastructure.
The practicality of ICE vehicles birthed the service station industry. Which, had it not happened in the manner it did, would have limited the growth of the automobile industry. The blacksmith that would re-shoe your horse could also (if he so chose) to do engine repair or tire changing.
I’m not on the west coast so I don’t know all the infrastructure that makes Teslas and other EV’s practical. There seems to be a lot of “proprietary-ness” around charging infrastructure. And there also seems to be a lot of location-tracking going on as well. Maybe it’s just my general distrust of the software industry having been in it for 35 years, but I’m leery of an industry that requires hacker conferences to do a percentage of the quality assurance.
Looks like my post got mangled… I was saying that even if they could set up the infrastructure required to service recharging country wide, I have zero desire to wait for a long time for the recharging every 200 miles or so. The convenience/security of easily filling up my guzzler in a couple of minutes and then being back on the road for 360 miles is not something I want to trade.
And I am aware of how the property/casualty industry will total an EV if they even suspect the battery system was somehow justled (impossible it doesn’t happen in an accident). There have been too many cases where people that plopped down $90K for an EV got in a fender bender, some in a few weeks after buying the vehicle, where the car had minimal damage, but because the battery rig was somehow touched, they ended up getting a $65K for the totaled vehicle as well as a 300% rise in their insurance premiums out there.
Fuck that shizz…
Not if the actual goal is to get us out of personal transportation.
A few months in a reeducation camp will sure you of your misperceptions.

That, too.
I can imagine an uptick in diesel-powered generator sales when it dawns on people that a prolonged blackout limits their ability to go somewhere else. And I wonder about evacuation events like hurricanes as well as the cleanup efforts in the aftermath.
“Without a similar revolution in power generation and transmission it just doesn’t work.”
I would add battery technology to that list. LIthium-ion batteries simply cannot be the basis of a transportation system on anything like the scale of our current system.
Until there are nuclear powered cars, and I mean directly powered, not through a battery system, there will not be a true replacement for ICE power. Nothing is as tunable for a given situation, nor carries as much potential energy as ICE.
You are forgetting the power of rainbow unicorn farts. These will power everything!

So, are you saying that Ukraine is over, and Syria is the new Domino to potentially fall?
This will allow the Taliban to do bad shit and give them an excuse to go back into Afghanistan once the racket in Ukraine has lost traction…

On March 23rd, 2023, George Mason University announced that Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin would address the graduating class of 2023 during the May 18th Commencement Ceremony at EagleBank Arena.
Preceding this announcement, GMU has neglected to meet the needs of students. From allowing homophobic, transphobic, racist, and/or anti-abortion groups to regularly occupy campus and harass passersby, to ignoring students and student organizations requesting assistance or support in their endeavors, GMU administration has taken pride in the diversity of the student body. At the same time, however, the administration has failed to protect and defend those same students from harm.
Things that don’t happen…And opposing view are literally like physically attacking you…
Selecting a speaker that has passed anti-trans legislation, promoted the abolishment of racial equity curricula, and restricted the availability of literature in public schools is an intentional target towards historically marginalized communities comprising Mason. It is harmful and disrespectful to the many students who continuously shape GMU’s community to bring in an individual who has also neglected the needs of Virginians. George Mason University prides itself on being one of “the most diverse institutions in the Commonwealth.” Yet by having Governor Youngkin as this year’s Commencement speaker, we believe that the University compromises its supposed values of centering students’ experiences and overall well-being. When satiating its own desire to appease the powerful few, the University, once again, has abandoned these principles.
Youngkin is about as milquetoast as they come. Feel free to remain in your cry closet.
” From allowing homophobic, transphobic, racist, and/or anti-abortion groups to regularly occupy campus and harass passersby…”
Oh, these things most definitely did happen, it is just that freedom of speech allows for it, explicitly.

The Biden administration has promised — as part of $33 billion sent in military aid for the besieged country so far — a US Patriot air-defense system will be sent to Ukraine, along with over 200,000 rounds of artillery, rockets, and tank rounds.
In fulfilling those promises, The New York Times reported the US has sent Ukraine so many stockpiled Stinger missiles that it would take 13 years of production at recent capacity levels to replace them. The Times added that Raytheon, the company that helps make Javeline missile systems, said it would take five years at last year’s production rates to replace the number of missiles sent to Ukraine in the last ten months.
Currently, the US produces just over 14,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition every month — and Ukrainian forces have previously fired that many rounds in the span of 48 hours, The Washington Post reported last month. US officials in January proposed a production increase up to 90,000 rounds of 155mm ammunition each month to keep up with demand.
Years of guaranteed contracts for the MIC!
Or to slowly disarm us and limit our ability to defend ourselves.
Weaken the US or kickbacks for the Big Guy. It’s a difficult choice.
Why not both?
Kickbacks on the military aid sent overseas, and kickbacks on the phat defense contracts, which can’t keep up with the rate we are depleting our stockpiles by sending them overseas.
Oh, well that’s okay, then.

Barbie Bassett, a popular anchor and the station’s first chief meteorologist in its 50 plus year history, hasn’t been seen on the NBC-affiliate station since the March 8 incident. Her bio no longer appears on the company’s website.
Bassett’s comment was during a segment that was talking about Snoop Dogg’s wine company, Cali Wine Collection- and the launch of his Snoop Cali Blanc variety.
Before the broadcast ended, Bassett, who is white, repeated a famous Snoop slang saying, ‘Fo shizzle, my [epithet].’
The racial epithet referred to is one for black people.
The only shocking/offensive thing here is that Snoop Dogg has a wine company.
..that makes white wine!

I blame the friendship with Martha Stewart.
One of the weirdest things in celebrityville is that Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart are good friends in real life. I mean, WTF?

I think Martha Stewart is the GOAT. She’s really an awful human being, but she took her prison sentence like a champ.
Over the weekend I started watching Clarkson’s Farm because of Tom Luongo’s recommendation.
I forgot how funny Clarkson can be when things aren’t to scripted. Hardest I’ve laughed in some time. But Luongo is right – between the goofs, Clarkson is seriously showing what it takes to make a living as a farmer if you don’t have Top Gear money in the bank. While he has fun with them, he does seem to genuinely like the farming community he’s becoming part of.
At one point in the second episode, he’s standing in one of his fields where the crop has been completely lost to beetles. The guy with him is explaining that he can’t spray pesticides because of regulations so tough crap – same goes for the guys without money in the bank.
Remember that part of the genesis of that project was that after Brexit, the farm subsidy got cut. So without the subsidies, you literally can’t run a farm.
They cut the subsidies, but kept all the regulations I assume?
New theory: Putin doesn’t just want the industrial Donbas, he wants the Ukrainian wheat fields, because he sees Europe starving in a few years and the one thing that is better leverage than energy, is food.
That series is fantastic and, yes, will give you a huge appreciation for what it takes to farm.
Also, England is a authoritarian hell-scape that makes any US regulations look like bloody, unfettered capitalism.

An undated video has surfaced of a public school teacher saying that her goal is to confuse kids about gender. The teacher, whom parents have identified as a Mounds View Public Schools teacher, explains in the video that some of her students can’t tell if she’s a boy or a girl. …
In the video, the teacher is wearing a school lanyard reading “Valentine Hills Elementary.”
“The students asked the other teacher if I’m a boy or a girl,” she says in the video. The “other teacher” allegedly asked the students if this really mattered, to which one student responded, “No, I just can’t figure it out. It’s just so hard. I can’t figure it out.”
“And I was just like, yes, that’s the goal,” the teacher says in the video.
Uffda. So glad to hear that she is a local nut.

Comic Book genre has been over saturated, but really the biggest problem is the same problem with the vast majority of films, they just simply suck. And it’s not due to wokism, I feel like they are all being written by 90 IQ emotionally stunted Millennials with nothing to say. The dialogue is awful, there’s little to no character development, and it’s hard to care about the plot if you don’t give a shit about the characters. You can get away with low IQ writing if it’s a really fun movie with interesting action sequences and likeable characters like John Wick, but the vast majority lack that even. It’s not just comic book movies that suck, everything does.
A good breakdown.
So the CW just launched another new superhero show, Gotham Knights. Premise is that Batman/Bruce Wayne has been killed, and his adopted son (who isn’t a Robin) has to partner up with three criminals to clear their names.
It. Is. Terrible.
Worse than the Batwoman show.
Flat out atrocious. I made it through the first episode and tapped the fuck out. This review/evisceration (HT: SugarFree) hits some of the bad points, without even going into the comic history side of things.
the CW – I thought that was for under 25s
Arrow was mostly solid, and Legends of Tomorrow was a fun romp with B and C listers continuing to screw up in time after the first season.
CW lost it completely more than a decade ago.
I liked Gotham S1 when it was being a straight procedural set in the Batman universe. And I liked Seasons 3+ when it went full Tim Burton Batman. S2 kinda sucked as it couldn’t make up its mind which it was.
I like it when those millennial writers try to do period pieces. Sorry, nobody used the term “gaslit” in 1988.

Sure, except for trying to eliminate them completely.
“We believe that opposition is an act of loyalty in our system.”
Except, that’s not what the term means. “Loyal Opposition” refers to those who are not members of the current ruling in-group, but are still loyal to the current government. It is in contrast to the disloyal opposition, which consists of traitors and seditionists who are not loyal to the current government.

Gone with the wind
Renewable energy is cripplingly expensive
https://thecritic.co.uk/gone-with-the-wind/
A couple of years ago, Professor Gordon Hughes of Edinburgh University had the bright idea of comparing UK Government price modelling with the actual accounts of wind producers. He quickly discovered what I will gently term “surprising irregularities”.
The Energy Department’s modelling assumed that capital expenditure per MW of offshore wind would fall by more than 50 per cent between 2018 and 2025, that operation and maintenance costs would fall by a factor of four, and average output would remain at 51 per cent installed capacity over the course of a turbine’s lifetime (modern turbines peak at 45 per cent in their first year).
How does this optimism compare to reality? Prof. Hughes’s headline discovery was that the cost of installing and operating windfarms went up, not down, in the 2010s. Indeed, the unreliability and greater sea depth of new offshore turbines meant operation costs per MW quadrupled between 2008 and 2018, whilst capital expenditure doubled. Danish data also indicated that the larger, newer generation of wind turbines breakdown faster, meaning that their output is lower after a couple of years when compared to older models
The business model for these facilities is to make money off of government subsidies, not power generation.

According to WaPo headlines at the google nooz, AR-15s are bad.
Bad bad bad.
Just rename them. That seems to be the solution for other problems.
Except for any en route to Ukraine.
Trailer full of dishonest horseshit right out of the gate.
The AR-15 wasn’t supposed to be a bestseller.
The rugged, powerful weapon was originally designed as a soldiers’ rifle in the late 1950s. “An outstanding weapon with phenomenal lethality,” an internal Pentagon report raved. It soon became standard issue for U.S. troops in the Vietnam War, where the weapon earned a new name: the M16.
But few gunmakers saw a semiautomatic version of the rifle — with its shrouded barrel, pistol grip and jutting ammunition magazine — as a product for ordinary people. It didn’t seem suited for hunting. It seemed like overkill for home defense. Gun executives doubted many buyers would want to spend their money on one.
Wow, that’s a lot of lies to fit in a single paragraph.
Very few people had AR-15’s before the assault weapons ban. Then after the ban expired they became insanely popular.
Why would it seem like overkill for HD?
A light, powerful, maneuverable platform with virtually no recoil, that is accurate. Why wouldn’t it considered PERFECT for home defense? That’s why I had one before I lost it tragically while boating.

Well they now have to operate in all those places for some reason.
It’s not a witch hunt!
But most Americans don’t agree with him. By a 56%-to-41% margin respondents said the investigations are fair and not a “witch hunt.”
As expected, there’s a huge partisan divide — 9 in 10 Democrats say they are fair, while 8 in 10 Republicans call them a witch hunt. A slim majority of independents call them fair, but they are closely split, 51% to 47%.
Those most likely to say the investigations are fair are those in the Gen Z and Millennial generations, people who live in big cities and suburbs and white college graduates, especially college-educated white women.
The latter is a demographic that’s been one of the most reliable Democratic voting — and anti-Trump — groups.
That’s it, then. Trump is toast. You can stop writing fifty articles about him every goddam day.
The approximately $840 million request would dwarf some prior years’ requests, and it would more than double the budget request of $356 million made by the department in 2015.
That makes perfect sense. Prior to the arrival of Trump’s robot army, there was no need to defend the Capitol from vast hordes of domestic terrorists.
Those most likely to say the investigations are a witch hunt were core Trump supporting groups: white men without degrees, white evangelical Christians and those who live in small towns.
Mouth breathers. Nobody cares what those flyover mongoloids think.

Gymnastics and cheer are athletic sports with specific uniforms that aren’t meant to sexualize (though I know people do find them sexual and they are sick fucks in terms of pre-teen/teens in them). Some more modern cheer routines are a bit risqué and should be looked at with a critical eye, along with some dance.

Consumer protection
As millions of student-loan borrowers wait for debt relief, Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to make sure President Joe Biden isn’t letting protections for those Americans fall off his radar.
On Monday, the Massachusetts Democrat sent a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona — exclusively viewed by Insider — regarding efforts the department should take to ensure borrowers are protected from predatory behavior. After Biden announced up to $20,000 in student-debt relief for federal borrowers in August, he also outlined steps the department will take to hold potentially predatory programs accountable for actions that could load students up with debt, and Warren has some ideas on how to enforce that oversight.
“As I offer support for your effort to identify low financial value programs that saddle students with mountains of debt that they have little hope of repaying, I also write to bring to your attention several other areas where the Department can and should strengthen accountability and oversight of institutions of higher education that too often leave students with insurmountable debts,” Warren wrote.
Finally, somebody has the gumption to go after the predators peddling Ivy League gender studies programs?
Yeah, it would be more helpful to identify the true “predator” here but that would mean being honest and we can’t have that.
