Study shows cash transfers from rich to poor can increase happiness of the poor [More]

So naturally, the solution for human happiness is a dependency on communists!

Just ask CBS Mornings host Tony Dokoupil!

Curious thing though– they don’t really tell us much about the qualifications of the “researchers” to fundamentally alter the governance and course of humanity.

One is this guy, who also shared his “water is wet” epiphany by concluding “Smartphone use undermines enjoyment of face-to-face social interactions,” and the other fancies herself an expert in happiness who does a mediocre job of imparting it to those taking her classes.

Reality, of course, shows us that totalitarian governments with the power to impose forced wealth transfers have historically always resulted in human misery and destitution.

As an aside, you’d think a smart guy like Jeff Bezos would realize a simple truth pointed out by John Stossel:

If the IRS grabbed 100 percent of income over $1 million, the take would be just $616 billion. That’s only a third of this year’s deficit.

A Cultural Journey

SCOOP: Walt Disney Co. recently hosted a “cultural journey” for employees featuring a “Two-Spirit,” “she/they,” “drag queen,” “merperson” named Geo Neptune. The company is following every fad of radical gender theory, from children’s programming to pseudo-indigenous pantomime. [More]

So does “two spirits” mean he’s possessed?

And a “Master Basketweaver”? Wasn’t there a song that mentioned that?

Parents patronizing them are inviting them in and helping to spread Disney Family Values. Is this what you really want for your children?

Montana Warns YouTube of Consequences for Acting as a Democrat Proxy to Censor Speech

Big Tech argues they deserve exemptions because they are not content providers. Acting as content deniers, suppressing anything that does not advance a state-approved “progressive” narrative, and facilitating the universal spread of that which does, effectively amounts to the same thing. [More]

How is removing legal content at the demand of Democrat politicians not a de facto First Amendment violation?

Most Favored Nation

Their well planned campaign of influence, backed by substantial economic resources and technological advances, has masterfully manipulated the Western elite, media, entertainment, universities, NGOs, and think-tanks to control the narrative on China. Businesses and politicians have been won over with deals, creating dependencies that China has expertly exploited. [More]

There’s more to that old Vulcan proverb than meets the ear.

As Seen at Walmart

Fully-automatic! (Photo taken in Arizona Walmart)

Funny, how they’ve become a leading Fudd voice for banning real semi-autos.

And funnier still how the antis who pressured cowardly corporate whores into selling themselves and their customers out are now suing gun manufacturers for “marketing to children.” And doesn’t “14 and up” tell us much?

That little fine print “all sales are final” caveat at the bottom also does. Funny, that no “consumer safety” Nazis are requiring a prominent eye warning on the box front or goggles to be included.

No matter– they’ll be on the table soon enough. Polyphemus may say he will eat you last, but eat you he will.

Unless these proto-“human rights violations” are made in China…

Speaking of Trust and Safety

[More]

That seems libelous against anyone who has identified as a Threeper, especially since anyone who actually understands what Three Percent founder Mike Vanderboegh advocated knows it is an idea, not an organization:

The Three Percent idea, the movement, the ideal, was designed to be a simple, powerful concept that could not be infiltrated or subjected to agents provocateurs like many organizations that I observed in the constitutional militia movement of the 90s… The Three Percent idea, being an idea, is internalized and finds expression in action when required without any top-down organization issuing orders.

Here’s another media lie:

She said a lot of the extremism in the U.S. is being driven by white supremacists and anti-government extremists, such as those following the Three Percenter ideology.

Vanderboegh was a Constitutionalist who rejected racism on religious, moral, and ideological grounds, identifying the judging of individuals based on that as collectivism.

Real racists and anti-government extremists hated his guts and took joy in his cancer and his death.

You don’t insult a man, and in lying about him libel others who share his beliefs, and then wish him “all the best,” all the while representing yourself as being your company’s arbiter for customer trust and safety.

Stupider Than a Commercial Featuring the Ty-D-Bowl Man

Imagine being so stupid that you would compare a living, wild animal to a firearm… [Watch]

I’ve seen a stupider ad— so stupid the antis took it down to avoid ridicule.

Ad men are the do-anything whores of the hack world.

UPDATE

The internet is forever:

What Can Brown Do to You?

Most disturbing is that UPS has sole and unlimited discretion over what documents they can require the shippers to turn over. This new policy gives UPS the unlimited power and discretion to examine and review any customer documents related to firearms sales. The shipper also must agree to turn over any documents UPS requests within five business days or risk the termination of their shipping accounts. UPS says It will use its newfound power to audit the books to ensure compliance with its new policies. [More]

So what do we make of their CEO being a Republican donor?

What Else are ‘They’ Lying About and Why Should We Trust Them on Anything?

In COVID hearing, #Pfizer director admits: #vaccine was never tested on preventing transmission. “Get vaccinated for others” was always a lie. The only purpose of the #COVID passport: forcing people to get vaccinated. The world needs to know. Share this video! [Watch]

So mob participants and inciters like that moronic hatemonger Howard Stern wishing the unvaccinated dead and urging hospitals not to treat them are going to apologize and beg forgiveness?

PreyPal

PayPal has backed away from fining its own customers up to $2,500 for promoting whatever it determines is “misinformation” … PayPal has reportedly repudiated its planned AUP revision and characterized the snafu as an error. [More]

More like a balloon prematurely floated…

I was looking forward to the lawsuits…

And to more excitable people getting their money’s worth out of these scoundrels in other ways…

Great Expectations

‘How low was this bar?’ President Biden has ‘FAR exceeded’ David Hogg’s expectations [More]

You know what else exceeds all expectations? After months of free nationwide media publicity still exploiting his name even after he resigned, the number of Good Pillow Facebook followers:

I’m (not really) surprised these “progressives” don’t have any people of color on their page. Who do we tell that to?

A Public/Private Partnership

“We’re excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! Follow along on our social channels as we reflect on the vital contributions that the Latino community has made to the success of The Walsh Group and the progress of construction industry.”

Gualtieri says there were a lot of construction workers on-site and the majority of them lied to deputies and hindered the investigation by providing false names and information… “This company is employing a bunch of illegals and they are all out there lying and giving us fake names, fake IDs…” [More]

This company…

Tell me the rich, mostly related white guys you see when you scroll down their home page don’t have the resources to verify who works for them. Then tell me if looking into public works contract awards sounds like an idea worth exploring, especially since they’re out there virtue signaling how woke they are…

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

Convenience Store Clerk’s Execution Shows Danger of ‘Giving Robbers What They Want’

They’re forbidden to have the means of defense. Instead, those who demand they stay this way offer useless advice guaranteed to leave them at the mercy of those who have none: “Give them what they want.” [More]

The question must be asked: “What if what they want is your life?”

All of Them?

Over 100 GOP Reps. Sign Letter to Credit Card CEOs: Which Gun Sales Do You Plan to Flag? [More]

My guess is they’ll play it on the risk management CYA side and not want to be accused of being negligent for NOT reporting someone who later creates a liability. That, and politically powerful tyrant wannabes will be putting on the squeeze.

It’s typical Opposite Day “progressivism,” really– they bow to an ISO category “standard” with no clearly defined and legally supportable standards for snitch triggers.

Adams Identifies High-Value Enemies List Targets

It is a travesty that we know the places where our citizens were murdered, but not the names of the CEOs who approved the marketing of the weapons that were used to kill them. [More]

Look for incidents like this and worse. If it’s much worse, mob-inciter Eric Adams could have blood on his hands.

Now that they have personal skin in the game, will we see any CEOs cut New York City off?

And any word on Tucker coming around?
