The Daily Derp; Really It's The Intermittent Derp But Who Really Cares Besides My Dead Grandmother?

It's a biggie so let's dive right in. Ass first.

Some clowns (you deserve to be called a clown if you threaten freedom of speech) in Albany came up with a 'right to be forgotten' bill. Oh look, it's the Democrats. So committed to the 1A those little rascals and it's as bad as you would think.

Thankfully, the chances of Weprin's Bill was pulled back but the idea someone thought it worth putting down on paper is troubling enough.

*****

Anti-semitism on campus?

Gee, who would have thunk it? I never heard of something so preposterous. Universities are filled with enlightened progressives who would never stoop so low. It's a place where freedom...

Okay enough of that.

*****

The barbarians who run barbaric Saudi Arabia set to execute disable man through the barbaric act of beheading.

*****

Teamsters acting like only unionized workers can.

That is, like thugs.

*****

It's. just. not. sinking. in.

It seems every other year a new plot on the demographic plot threatens to *sink* the GOP. Remember when, I think it was Nate Silver, who warned of a permanent Democrat rule?

Yeah, that exploded pretty quickly. And it started right under Obama's nose. His egoism played a large roll in the (in the continuing) decimation of the DNC.

A comment from Glibertarians.com:

"Even if the GOP has problem with attracting the suburban vote, they’re up against a party that has managed to both massively alienate voters from all walks of life, demonized half the population as unworthy of respect or recognition, was recently exposed as blatantly corrupt and anti-democratic, suffers from a stunning lack of any kind of young talent to replace the aging senile Boomers that remain the face of the party, and who only continue to exist as an entity because of several key ideological strongholds where their candidate could be caught punching babies they’d still get overwhelming support and every media outlet in New York and DC saying how the baby had it coming."

*****

The Supreme Court has done nothing but reinforce the First Amendment.

God bless America.

*****

Oh look, Bernie Sanders' wife is under investigation for bank fraud.

Damn Trump's America is ruining everything!

*****

The Mayor of Portland wants to stop alt-right rallies.

Antifa, on the other hand, with actual documented cases of violence, are fine.

But hey. Democrats....bah you know the rest.

*****

Trump cuts funding to group out to 'fight white supremacists'.

Obama had given them 400k.

No more.

Good decision.

As time goes on, we'll more and more about Obama's true colours. I suspect there was a lot of this divisive bull shit going on.

*****

More bull shit progressive methodology. on display.

These lists are getting more and more absurd.

Give me the United States of America over Sweden or any other country for that matter any day of the week.

*****

Behold the face of absurd runaway government control:

"Residents were appalled upon hearing this news. Naturally, they had thought that if they owned the property, they should be free to till the ground and grow food if they choose to do so. Such an attitude was slightly confusing to Municipal Attorney Blakeman:
He went on to say that the city’s effort to make a law allowing gardens is something that should be seen as a good move by residents.

The intention of it is to not to take away, it is to give,’ he said.”

We need to murder you to save you from yourself. We need to destroy to build. Etc., etc.

*****

"....The Natural Resources Defense Council, an international nonprofit environmental organization founded in 1970..."

Ahem, excellent.

*****

More real news from CNN:



If you haven't cut CNN from your daily news consumption, or better yet, removed it from your cable package, what in the hell are you waiting for?

Or do you enjoy being lied to?

*****

"Obama has largely gone out of public view, though he reappeared with a statement this week blasting President Trump for pulling the United States from the Paris climate deal.
Advisers to Obama have said he wants to give a new generation of leaders room to grow.
While Obama has made public appearances since leaving office, he has generally refrained from talking about Trump. Instead, he has held events focused on getting young adults active in civic engagement, as he did in April.
That puts Obama in the tradition of other past presidents who have generally sought to avoid public criticisms of their immediate successors."
What planet are Obama supporters from? He's broken with that tradition. He's all over the place giving speeches, and meeting leaders. Why this guy is consistently given a pass; worse given credit for actions he clearly doesn't perform, is beyond me at this point.

It must be lonely and infinitely frustrating being the lone rational voice among irrational politicians. Jordan Peterson is fighting an uphill battle as reason generally is the first to go in a progressive bureaucracy:

No, no you got it all wrong! It's the fault of unfettered capitalism that sank Venezuela!

*****

Ulbricht loses appeal. God, the people who had a hand in that excessive sentence truly deserve the worst kind of karma.

Especially that judge. That little cunt who sent Attorney-General Preet (riding on his donkey) to come after commenters at Reason magazine for calling her out for such an atrociously evil sentence. And then some.

/turns woodchopper on.

*****

Can people for once take a logical chill pill?

Tom Steyer said Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord would be 'a traitorous act of war'.

Give me a break. If the President feels it doesn't serve the national interest, that's his job and right to do so. He answers only to the American people. An American president - or any leader for that matter - can't be traitorous via a non-binding international agreement.

To say so, is to be a shrill idiot.

*****

Because the world would fall apart without the UN. Example 45533:

The whitewashing of a Haitian sex ring.

No-one gives a shit about the children. See the UK - Rotherham and other outrageous crimes ignored by the government and law enforcement.

I will keep bringing that up because it just stuns me how one of the greatest nations in history could stoop so low. How far they have fallen is something else.

Academics with too much time on their hands.

Poutine is a victim cultural appropriation now.

Someone should explain to this guy pizza. Everyone acknowledges its roots is Italian but it belongs to the world now.

Quebec will get the hang of it.

This is probably the most important piece of news of all.

"The immune checkpoint inhibitors have created a fast-running revolution in the world of cancer research. Now, there are 5 agents in the broader class of "PD-1/PD-L1" inhibitors, to accompany the CTLA-4 inhibitors. In 2015 and 2016, Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) was running roughshod through the field with nivolumab, capturing all kinds of first approvals.
But so far, 2017 belongs to pembrolizumab. Merck (NYSE:MRK) has channeled this agent into a wide variety of treatment settings, most recently bladder cancer. Heck, the prescribing information for pembrolizumab has a list of indications that is getting ridiculously long.
More to point, MRK has captured important segments of oncology. In addition, to being a competitor in second-line lung cancer, bladder cancer, and Hodgkin lymphoma, they have been given approval for first-line treatment of certain lung cancers (those with very high PD-L1 expression) and bladder cases where patients cannot receive chemotherapy."
*****

I see the comments on the video put out by North Yokshire police has been turned off since I last checked. Gee, I wonder why.

Meanwhile, Rotherham....

*****

Liberal policies are not popular.

But that's okay. Progressives believe this only proves the people are just regressive idiots who need to be lead.

Marvel editor:  I thought the diversity train was a can't miss!

Comment:

"Like the people above, the market are just not *ready* for the splendid enlightenment of Coates and they should just publish it because. Progressives seem to think cramming things down people's throats leads to them eventually accepting them and it becomes a norm. That's the lie they tell themselves. Because of course people tend to 'accept' when something is forced on them and enforced by the fines and threat of jail time. Force is all they know when it comes to selling their ideas."

So, if Coates' comic gets nixed because of poor sales, it's because the people are too backward and Marvel should ignore them since his story *deserves* to be told and people will eventually come around to it.

Except.

They rarely do.

No one likes being lectured.

Now where's my CEO job offer?

*****

Former MLB ump Steve Palermo dies. Interesting cat he was.

*****

Note to The Guardian and the UK: Why don't you take care of your own fucken back yard'?

How about the Brits focus on your own mess. Your country is in cultural squalor from its cowardice in Rotherham to cracking down on freedom of speech and expression. What has become of the once mighty Great Britain is an abject embarrassment to the West and you shouldn't be talking about a country where rape and divorce is rare. Japan, I'm guessing, doesn't care about Western left-wing feminist narratives about porn either.

Rotherham is something I can't forgive England for. So it's a little rich for them to be looking at other countries. As far as I'm concerned the media needs to grovel with endless stories about that horrible story and how they abdicated their moral and professional responsibility to report on that heinous event.

Oh look  another hypocritical liberal comedian.

Sure Macky. You can have them.

Harper did the same thing. Enough with the politicized garbage.

*****

Remember how we were all "crazy" arguing that the anti-smoking campaign was a slippery slope where freedom of choice is concerned? Remember how they said people who argued this way were *paranoid*?

Gem:

Linda Stobo, program manager for the chronic disease prevention and tobacco control team at the Middlesex-London Health Unit, said though she couldn’t speak specifically about the Kraemer case, she believes the investigators were not out of bounds when they charged him in his SUV.
“The purpose of the Smoke-Free Ontario Act is to protect people from the harmful exposure to second-hand smoke at work,” she said."

It's always the same trajectory. Good intentions become a path to hell. It's the story of government intervention in managing viruses and vices. 
Now we're in a situation where people are ticketed three times for smoking in their car...alone...because second hand smokes kills....despite the lack of any serious evidence.

Oh, just to be sure. Third hand smoke kills too.

That slope has ended and this is a form of tyranny. Full stop.

*****

You know, for exciting actions we should all emulate.

But it's not humanitarian unless the government says it is.

Muh procedures!

*****

Drunk driving is definitely a problem but I'm not sure what the Liberals are attempting here is a good idea.

"The Liberal government will soon table a defense of its sweeping reforms on drug and alcohol-impaired driving in Canada.
The charter statement will explain why Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould believes the legislation upholds Canadians' constitutional rights. It was scheduled to be tabled in the House of Commons Wednesday afternoon, but has been delayed due to a late change in the minister's schedule.
The bill was tabled last month at the same time as legislation to legalize marijuana, and includes tougher penalties and new powers for police to demand mandatory roadside breath samples. The government has maintained it is charter-proof, but many legal experts say new provisions go too far and violate fundamental rights.
'Uphold Canadians' constitutional rights' doesn't have the same ring as the American one given the Charter is written in a way such that the government is the final arbitrator of our rights; unlike the U.S. where it's unequivocal it belongs to the people."
While it's true, for example, the 4th and 14th amendments are increasingly under duress (the 1st and 2nd are under constant threat but for now SCOTUS remains steadfast in its protection of them; particularly the former), it's much harder for the executive and Congress to pass through laws that attack liberty (although that grey line is increasingly blurred as we saw with the disaster known as Obamacare) than it is in Canada.
Here we can move those goal posts much quicker and easier.
Our rights are fragile and at the mercy of government.

KUTURAL APPROPRAYASHUN!

"The work of Toronto painter Amanda PL is infused with bright colours and bold outlines often associated with an indigenous art style.
But for many of those familiar with the Woodland School of Art, as the genre is also known, it smacks of cultural appropriation by a young artist with no claim to the tradition.
Outrage over Amanda PL’s work has renewed debate over who has the right to use and profit from specific customs."

"...Clark said the coal transport ban is something her government had been considering for a while. 
"Now that softwood negotiations are at an impasse...we are free to make this change," she said.

I complete agree with jordan peterson. freedom of speech is PRECISELY what sets us apart from other civilization sand has made the West what it is.

And here we are dismantling it slowly brick by brick by brick.

Stage one was 'I'm for free speech but...'. Stage two is to quietly and casually push for the criminalization of speech and arrest for opinions we don't agree with.  Stage three, (particularly in the USA) is a full assault on the 1A. Except, the 1A is going to be the fight that breaks the DNC's back if they're stupid enough to try. SCOTUS is resoundingly steadfast in its defence.

If you disagree, you go into the tax office to work it out. For nearly everybody, though, the numbers are correct, so you never have to file a return..."
