NYC ordinance banning ‘body size discrimination’
goes into effect
Posted By: Hazymac, 11/27/2023 10:16:01 AM
In early October, I wrote a blog on a social media “fatfluencer” whose very serious demands for widened hotel hallways and extra airplane seats for the morbidly obese had rolled her into my sphere of awareness. The young woman, who is in her mid-twenties, was petitioning businesses to adopt a “customer-of-size policy” and urging private establishments to provide “size-inclusive” amenities so that ultra-fat people could enjoy the same things as everyone else. But, at the time I penned the essay, I had no idea that in New York City, an ordinance of this very nature was already on the books, and now it’s gone into effect.

The SOTU from Hell

The comedian Richard Lewis, of blessed memory, is credited with the formulation “the x from hell.” Having watched President Biden’s State of the Union Address last night in order to comment on it this morning, I found it to be the SOTU from hell. Thank you, Mr. Lewis.
The White House has posted the text of the speech “as prepared for delivery.” That isn’t exactly how he gave it. You have to see it to get the full flavor. I have posted the White House video at the bottom.
Herewith are my impressions of Biden’s delivery and my observations on the speech in the form of bullet points:
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) For over 30 years now, my preference when it comes to the State of the Union address is to avoid the televised applause break circus and read the transcript later. That used to mean waiting until the next day to read it in the paper. Now I don't have to delay the torture.
Last night, while my good friend Stephen Green was doing one of his patented live VodkaPundit Drunkblogs to cover the speech, I was making hot sauce. It's a new hobby of mine. It keeps me off the street and, hey, one more handy skill
Congress is set to advance a bipartisan bill Thursday that will regulate TikTok, sparking the social media platform to launch an effort urging users to call their representatives, which has resulted in reports of disturbing threats being directed toward lawmakers.
At least two House offices have said that they've received calls from U.S. children threatening suicide if the bill passes, according to The Spectator.
"It’s so so bad. Our phones have not stopped ringing. They’re teenagers and old people saying they spend their whole day on the app and we cant [sic] take it away," one GOP congressional staffer told a Politico reporter.
TikTok is sending alerts to users stating that
"The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur on Wednesday ended his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination after failing to make significant headway against President Joe Biden.
Uygur announced his campaign in October of last year, but failed to attract significant media attention or claim any delegates in party primary contests. He indicated to The Hill on Wednesday that he had mounted the effort due to fears that Biden could not emerge victorious in the general contest against former President Donald Trump.
"This was an act of desperation to try to change the course of this campaign because Biden I was positive was going to lose," he said.

When the nation finally learned that the president "was a pharmaceutical miracle, with his own speed connection," as part of a "crazy-quilt array of drugs" that kept him mostly functional, at least during public appearances, it came as no surprise. The doctor in charge of it all even had the perfect nickname: Dr. Feelgood. The President was John F. Kennedy and the time was 60 years ago, but the more things change, the more they stay the same.
We may never learn what crazy-quilt array of drugs Presidentish Joe Biden is on, but after four years of watching him visibly fade after about 60 minutes or so —
I don't want to sound like an alarmist but that part of the oath our military, police, and politicians take that mentions "enemies foreign and domestic" might be more than just a phrase. When Gropey Joe Biden isn't fighting to keep the borders open or flying 320,000 illegal immigrants to our airports at all hours of the night, he is doing his dementia-best to disarm We the People, especially of those big, scary AR-15 rifles. FACT-O-RAMA! Your pink-haired pinko-in-law likely thinks the AR in AR-15 stands for "assault rifle." It stands for "Armalite rifle." Armalite is the company that originally designed the weapon.

Super Tuesday may have been the day that Joe Biden lost the 2024 presidential election and Donald Trump won it. Both outcomes will have had nothing to do with the vote tallies on Tuesday when a third of the nominating delegates were up for grabs. This moment will have had everything to do with Biden's treachery and Trump's rectitude, if you can believe it. Let's back up for a moment for those curious enough to have read this far. After "justice," the next job of government is the nation's security. In order to accomplish that, elected leaders are required by the binding contract with citizens — the Constitution —
The 2020s are like a South Park episode. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, earlier this month took time away from encouraging pre-adolescent children to explore their gender identities through the wonders of endocrine-disrupting pharmaceuticals to lecture the public about how climate change might be racist.
In a video posted on X, Levine said, “Black Americans are more likely than White Americans to live in areas in housing that increase their susceptibility to climate-related health issues,” and added that “65% of Black Americans report feeling anxious about climate change’s impact.” (X) The Department of Health and Human Services website that viewers
Joe Biden's administration has admitted transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies claim revealing the locations could create national security 'vulnerabilities'.
Customs and Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly arranging flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S. cities.
It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country.

President Joe Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Director Steven Dettelbach seems to know as much about guns as Democrat-nominated Supreme Court justices.
As ATF head, Dettelbach, who was confirmed in 2022 with the help of Senate Democrats and two Republicans, is expected to understand to some degree the items his agency regulates and enforces. Unfortunately for Americans who have endured a slew of attacks on their Second Amendment rights at the hands of the Biden administration, Dettelbach is publicly ignorant about the guns and gun parts his agency wants to ban.
During his appearance on CBS’s “Face The Nation” over the weekend, Dettelbach outlined for CBS News’s Margaret Brennan the ATF’s
Let me start by telling you that I am perhaps unrivaled in my disgust for Google, parent company Alphabet, feckless CEO Sundar Pichai, and every single one of the company's products and services. I've gone so far as to switch to a paid search engine — Kagi — as part of my endless quest to remove myself forever from Google's revenue stream yet remain an internet user. That aside for a moment, I owe you an apology that I'll get to after this quick refresher on Google's latest self-own.
My grudge against Google is deeply personal. Google — along with Facebook, another service I boycott — is on an endless

80-year-old John Kerry announced recently he was stepping down as US Special Envoy on Climate for the Biden regime after years of hard work battling global warming and destroying the economy and US middle class.
Kerry led the effort to unleash hundreds of billions in subsidies that aim to green the economy. It’s a lucrative business if you can call the shots or live in China where the windmills are made – using fossil fuels.
President Joe Biden is going after those who he feels aren't paying their fair share such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos as his office plans to raise taxes for corporations and billionaires.
The aging Democrat, 81, will make the announcement during the annual State of the Union address Thursday night. Corporate tax will rise from 21 percent to 25 percent and a 25 percent tax for those with wealth of over $100 million.
White House officials said Biden would preview the steps that will be part of a proposed fiscal 2025 budget released next week that aims to cut the federal deficit by $3 trillion
MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump is elected president again, the United States would become a threat to the world order.
Wallace said, “One of my favorite conversations you had last night we were talking about sort of the things that were still in the DNA of the two parties, that the Republicans fall in line and the Democrats sort of wait to fall I think they largely love Joe Biden and what he’s done, but they want to be more madly in love with someone or something. It was on display last night. Donald Trump has all this resistance
A majority of adult American citizens will not watch Joe Biden’s State of the Union (SOTU) address, the latest survey from the Economist/YouGov found.
The survey asked respondents, “Will you watch this year’s State of the Union address on Thursday, March 7th?” Overall, a majority, 63 percent said they will not watch Biden’s address. Of those, 47 percent said they will not watch it and that they do not want to. The remaining 16 percent said they would like to watch it but they will likely not be able to. Just 37 percent, overall, said yes, they plan to watch it.

President Biden will announce during his State of the Union address Thursday that he’s directing the U.S. military to lead the construction of a port along the coast of Gaza on the Mediterranean Sea to boost the amount of aid getting to Palestinian civilians. [Snip] Senior administration officials said the project will not require any U.S. boots on the ground in Gaza. Instead, the plan involves U.S. personnel on military vessels offshore who will not be required to go ashore to install the port.

Trump will lose to Biden. History suggests otherwise 25 replies
Any voter who listened to a stump speech from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during her primary campaign against Donald Trump -- which she just ended -- was likely to hear a variation of one message: The former president can't win in November because he's been losing a notable minority of Republican voters.
"He lost 40% of the primary vote in all of the early states," she said last week at a campaign rally in Minnesota. "You can't win the general election if you can't win that 40% [back]."
Haley was exaggerating. For example, in the 15 GOP states that voted on Super Tuesday, she has gotten less than 20%
President Joe Biden will urge Congress on Thursday night to introduce sweeping tax hikes on billionaires and corporations to make sure they 'pay their fair share'.
The proposals include raising the corporate minimum tax for companies worth more than $1 billion to 21 percent, up from the 15 percent that went into effect last year.
The president will also call for a 25 percent tax on individuals with wealth of more than $100 million and the abolition of tax deductions on corporate jets.Biden has insisted that his plans will not increase taxes for Americans making less than $400,000.
But those not in the top one percent
Is A New Biden Scandal About To Erupt?
22 replies
The Joe Biden presidency has had its share of missteps, maybe more than any other administration before it. But the latest scandalous behavior is not an error in the eyes of this White House. In pursuit of cultural and political engineering that only the Democrats would ever consider, the administration has flown 320,000 illegal immigrants into the country directly from foreign airports.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, “U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has approved secretive flights that last year alone ferried hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens from foreign airports into some 43 American ones

Fresh off threatening to punch black Trump supporters in the face, Charles Barkley doubled down, calling any black person who wears Trump mugshot merchandise “a freakin’ idiot.”
Barkley takes issue with former President Trump comparing his legal and political plight with that of black individuals in America. He’s made it abundantly clear he’s not a fan of Trump, who he refers to as a “white billionaire” who is “asinine” and “stupid.” He made his clarifying comments on Wednesday’s edition of “King Charles” on CNN.
On Saturday, the basketball star bluntly stated, “If I see a black person walking around with a Trump mugshot, I’m gonna punch him in the face.”
There were widespread reports at the first of the week on what one of the central themes of Joe Biden's upcoming State of the Union address was going to be:
To paraphrase, it will boil down to asking the American people: "Whose side are you on? America's or Donald Trump's?"While portraying oneself as the only true upholder and defender of America's ideals is a political campaign tactic that is as old as time, openly seeking out advice from celebrities who have played the role of an elected official in TV shows and movies is... most certainly not. That is unless you happen to be
Progressive Democrats are furious at President Joe Biden for accurately describing the man suspected of murdering 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley.
Biden addressed Riley’s death during his State of the Union address Thursday evening after he was heckled by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) and misstated her name in the process.
“Lincoln (sic) Riley, an innocent young women who was killed by an illegal, that’s right,” Biden said while holding up a pin with her name on it. “To her parents I say, my heart goes out to you having lost children myself, I understand,” he added.
Progressive lawmakers led by Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) objected
