There is good reason we find sewage inherently disgusting. Contact with it can make us very sick. The same goes for homosexual behavior. In ultraliberal Portland, there has been an uptick in shigella cases:

Shigella — a bacteria that is spread through fecal matter — can cause fever, stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can last three to 10 days, and can include blood, health officials warn.

“Shigella spreads when one person’s infected poop gets into another person’s mouth through food or water, from objects or surfaces with shigella bacteria on them, or during sex,” Multnomah County said.

They mean the sort of sex promoted by the liberal establishment, not the kind that results in human reproduction.

The county said the illness has historically affected men who have sex with men, international travelers, and noted other outbreaks have occurred from food service and contaminated water.

According to county officials,

“Local disease patterns suggest that fecal-oral spread through sexual contact may account for between half and more than two thirds of all cases without international travel.”

The rainbow fun doesn’t stop with AIDS and monkeypox. At least shigella is sure to get plenty of government funding, since it primarily affects a top-tier “oppressed” identity group.

Once it starts spreading, you don’t have to partake of sexual diversity to catch shigella. The bacteria can survive up to 5 months on inanimate surfaces.

Elections have consequence. An inevitable consequence of electing a supporter of Black Lives Matter looters is more looting — this time not just enabled by the government, but committed by it. From Chicago:

Mayor Brandon Johnson believes reparations for descendants of slaves will help improve his city’s rising crime rate. …

Johnson’s 2024 budget includes $100 million for violence prevention, but also $500,000 to form a Commission on Restoration and Reparations.

If it costs $500,000 just to form a commission, wait until they start passing out other people’s money based on race.

“Violence prevention” means useless gestures, probably largely consisting of public service announcements to the effect that violence is bad. As a BLM supporter who openly sides with criminals against law enforcement, Johnson ran on a platform of defunding the police.

Chicago has well and truly succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral. Residents are advised to get out while it is still possible to sell their property.

Johnson on Wednesday claimed reparations would also help reduce violent crime, though he was yet to directly explain how.

Free money is not going to reverse the collapse of civilization in diverse hellholes like Chicago. On the contrary, that’s what caused it. The welfare state provided both the mentality and the manpower to fill the streets and now City Hall with mobs of looters.

Until recently, Adolf Hitler served well as the personification of evil. But as Nazism fades into history, he has lost his relevance. He inflicted his horrors in a different age against different people. A more poignant incarnation of evil for current times is Osama bin Laden, the maniac associated with the terror atrocities of 9/11. These were witnessed first-hand by many alive today (including yours truly) and represent a threat that has only escalated since. That we now live under a Commander in Chief who opposed killing bin Laden is alarming — but not as alarming as this:

One in five young Americans has a positive view of 9/11 mastermind and Al Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden, according to disturbing results of a DailyMail.com poll.

The alarming survey also found three in 10 Gen Z voters believe the views of the anti-Semitic terrorist leader who slaughtered thousands of innocent people were a ‘force for good’.

This explains how it is possible that demonstrations in support of Islamic terrorism could dominate the streets of the same city that saw the World Trade Center fall.

Why should we be surprised? Bin Laden shared a main objective with the leftists who control our schools and the media: to eradicate Western Civilization. As we have seen in the aftermath of October 7 Islamic terror atrocities, “anticolonialism” aligns naturally with Islam — at least until the common enemy is destroyed.

If we cannot even agree that Osama bin Laden was a bad guy, unity is not a short-term possibility. All we can hope for is to limit the power of those who have succumbed to leftism, prevent the media/schools from creating more of them, and counter the cancerous ChiCom tool TikTok, which has been instrumental in glorifying Osama bin Laden.

We knew that Democrats using the tinpot dictatorship tactic of removing their chief opponent from the ballot was not going to stop in Colorado. Maine — whose Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is as hyperpartisan as Colorado’s all-Democrat supreme court — follows suit:

The state’s top election official removed the Republican frontrunner from the [primary] ballot, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits elected officials from holding office if they committed an insurrection.

That Trump committed insurrection by explicitly telling supporters who later rioted to protest “peacefully” is a popular talking point in leftist fever swamps. Trump was acquitted of this preposterous charge by the US Senate.

Speaking of the Constitution, it requires each state to provide a republican form of government. However, this form of government is among the many American traditions the leftists comprising the Democratic Party aim to eradicate. Single party rule is more conducive to imposing their agenda.

A few states run by radicals cannot prevent Trump from being the GOP nominee. Ham-fistedly taking him off the ballot in the primaries is a trial balloon, to test whether the population is still American enough to be enraged. If not, expect future ballots to feature Democrats only. As they incessantly remind us, opposition is a threat to “Our Democracy.”

Vivek Ramaswamy observes the obvious:

“This is what an actual threat to democracy looks like. The system is hellbent on taking this man out, the Constitution be damned.”

Watch in astonishment at the Democrat capacity for hypocrisy as Bellows quacks righteously about the sacred “will of the voters”:

Compliments of Chuck A.

With minimum wage madness, moonbats recently provided an elementary lesson in economics. Now they teach us about public health by adding the morbidly obese to the Cultural Marxist coalition with the body positivity movement:

Aggressively promoted by the liberal establishment, obesity confers precious oppressed status, resulting in legal privileges and free seats on airplanes. A conspicuously unfit 400-pounder named David Lopez believes himself entitled to a job as a gym teacher despite suffering from asthma, hypertension, diabetes, etc. on the grounds that he is overweight; he is suing Wayne State University for “discrimination.”

However, there are drawbacks to not keeping your weight under control, including:

• All-causes of death (mortality).
• High blood pressure (hypertension).
• High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides (dyslipidemia).
• Type 2 diabetes.
• Coronary heart disease.
• Stroke.
• Gallbladder disease.
• Osteoarthritis (a breakdown of cartilage and bone within a joint).
• Sleep apnea and breathing problems.
• Many types of cancer.
• Low quality of life.
• Mental illness such as clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.
• Body pain and difficulty with physical functioning.

The privileges of oppression are hard to enjoy when you are sick or dead.

On a tip from R F and Mr. Freemarket.

The Biden Regime spews Islamist propaganda and shovels our money at Hamas. Meanwhile:

Judy Weinstein Haggai, a 70-year-old American-Israeli dual citizen, was confirmed dead on Thursday, roughly a week after her husband, Gadi, was also declared to have died, Israel National News reported. There are approximately six American hostages remaining in Gaza, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Both had been shot by Hamas terrorists making Palestine free from the river to the sea, with the blessing of leftists, who cheer on the “decolonization.”

Here’s a suitable question to introduce 5th graders to economics. Authoritarians coercively jack up wages in the fast food industry; what happens to jobs? Those who can’t answer correctly are not ready for the 6th grade — much less to run the government:

In September, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law a bill forcing national fast-food chains that operate in California to pay their employees a minimum of $20 per hour, effective April 1, 2024. That’s a significant increase from the state-mandated minimum wage of $16 per hour, which will take effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

To liberals, California is a model to emulate:

Labor groups and Democrats praised the law and claimed it will protect fast-food workers.

The predictable consequences are already unfolding. Pizza Hut is laying off over 1,200 delivery drivers.

Now, customers who want delivery from the impacted restaurants will be forced to use third-party apps — like DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats — to order their Pizza Hut delivery.

Until Big Government comes after them too. Before long, food delivery will be effectively illegal in California. If you want a pizza, you will have to drive to the store. If you want a job delivering pizza, you will have to escape to a state not run by moonbats.

There are two main effects of raising the minimum wage. It stokes the inflationary wage–price spiral Democrats have thrown into overdrive with grotesquely excessive wasteful spending. McDonald’s and Chipotle are responding to the law by raising prices. It also drives up unemployment. This is not a bug but a feature. Those reliant on government handouts to survive are less likely to vote Republican.

On a tip from Mr. Freemarket.

According to Democrat ideology, your money is not your money; it is the government’s money. The US government exists to promote a globalist agenda, not the interests of those who live under it. Casual sex is to be encouraged in keeping with the liberal lifestyle, but human procreation is to be curtailed, because humanity is bad for the planet. Keeping all this in mind, you are prepared to read that despite continuing inflation and a national debt that is skyrocketing toward $34 trillion, the federal government is spending our money on mountains of free condoms — for other countries:

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) sent 65.5 million condoms, 9.8 million injectable birth control products and 334,000 IUDs abroad in fiscal year 2022 as part of its efforts to facilitate family planning, especially in the third world, according to an agency document overviewing the program.

“Family planning” is an Orwellian euphemism for preventing children. A stated purpose is to address “climate vulnerability.”

Our rulers literally believe that condoms improve the weather, presumably because every human soul brought into existence makes the world a worse place through harmless carbon emissions. Or maybe condoms serve as magic talismans for liberals, due to their association with decadent behavior.

The inevitable fluctuation of the climate is a crisis in part because “climate change-related displacement can worsen already entrenched gender inequalities” according to USAID. It all fits together, in the minds of moonbats.

The degenerates looting our country to death are insane.

USAID will be abolished if Americans ever regain control of their government and redirect it toward serving their own interests. Bureaucrats spending your money on other people is not charity. It is theft.

At least the future under leftist rule won’t catch us by surprise. We can see it 90 miles off the coast. As it approaches end-stage statism, Cuba prepares to exterminate what remains of its shrinking population:

Cuba’s Communist Party approved changes to the nation’s health code that, once formally implemented, will allow euthanasia under the country’s barely functional healthcare system.

The law promises “dignified death.” Under communism, dignity is not allowed even in life.

We are told by members of the liberal elite that Cuba’s socialist healthcare system is to be emulated. Those who know what they are talking about have a different viewpoint:

“I have had to cast a patient with a piece of cardboard. The scissors and the stethoscope you have to take care of as if they were gold; if you are careless, they steal them in the consultation room. Since we lack paper, we don’t even have prescriptions,” A Cuban orthopedic specialist told Diario Las Americas in December.

Meanwhile,

The impending introduction of euthanasia also comes as Cuba continues to face a severe population collapse fueled by declining birth rates…

Again we see that leftism is opposed to human life.

Despite having achieved communism more quickly, Cuba’s rulers lag behind their fellow lefties to our north regarding euthanasia. In Canada, even Catholic institutions are on board with Medical Assistance in Dying, which authorities have presented as a solution to long wait times, anorexia, PTSD, poverty, and needing a wheelchair lift (not for regretting sex change surgery though).

On a tip from StephaneDumas.

Step 1: Use the million mouths of the media to relentlessly push Critical Race Theory, according to which everything wrong in the world of blacks is the fault of whites. Step 2: Let criminals out of jail on the grounds that punishing crime has disparate impact. Step 3: Stand back and watch the fun:

Around 11:30 a.m. on Christmas Day, two teenage girls visiting New York City from South America were enjoying an early lunch with their parents at Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. As the family members minded their own business, an unruly man — later identified as 36-year-old Steven Hutcherson of the Bronx — had become so disruptive at Tartinery in the Grand Central Dining Concourse that members of the Tartinery staff had to ask him to leave. …

Hutcherson reportedly became enraged and began complaining loudly that the two girls, ages 14 and 16, were allowed to continue eating at the establishment. “I want all the white people dead,” he said, according to police. “I want to sit next to the cr*ckers.”

Out came a knife.

The 16-year-old victim was stabbed in the back so deeply that the blade of the knife nicked her lung. The 14-year-old was stabbed in the thigh.

This is typical:

This arrest marks the third arrest for Hutcherson in the past six months. … Hutcherson has been arrested 17 times by the MTA police and the NYPD.

The liberals in charge want violent crime. Either they want society to spin apart into chaos that can be exploited to increase their power, or they enable evil as an end in itself. How else to explain the lunatic policies that allow sociopaths to run loose terrorizing the innocent?

If men can marry each other on the grounds that they have perverse erotic relationships, then Sonja Semyonova can marry a tree. After all, she is ecosexual:

Semyonova, 45, claims she connected with the tree during her lonely, solo walks in the summer of 2021. Those walks began in 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic. It was the same year that she moved to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

Her feelings toward the tree are not entirely platonic:

The feeling of being tiny and supported by something so solid. The feeling of not being able to fall,” she said, further describing her “erotic” experiences with this tree, although she said she does not have physical relations with the oak.

Maybe there is still morality among moonbats, and she is waiting until after marriage.

“I would lie against it. There was an eroticism with something so big and so old holding my back,” she continued, asserting that there are major misconceptions about ecosexuality, which the environmental group the Sierra Club describes as “unabashedly queer.”

The website Here Come the Ecosexuals! defines ecosexuality, in part, as “a person that finds nature romantic, sensual, and sexy.”

Where sexual depravity meets envirolunacy — there you will find the future of moonbattery.
