I Prefer Toxic Masculinity to Deadly D.E.I. Incompetence

Original Article

Posted By: abuela10, 1/22/2025 9:22:07 AM

All masculine images have been reclassified as toxic by the progressive feminists so my headline may be misleading. I actually prefer real examples of the male in all his magnificent glory while rescuing those in need of brute strength to combat adversity of all kinds. What we have seen in recent news is the failure of instituting Diversity, Equity and Inclusive (D.E.I.) policies into emergency services that require strength and power.

I have worked with women in the Fire service and some of them really work hard at it, but damned few can actually cut the mustard. Many end up in the Fire Marshal's office as fire inspectors.

Toxic masculinity is another of those lib phrases that has been so overused it no longer has any meaning. I've known guys I hated to be around because they wore their testosterone on their sleeves. The Jack Klugmans, the Earl Hollimans, the bullies and the blowhards. Not to mention the horn dogs. But the vast majority of guys are just regular guys, and dont fall into the toxic category.

#1, My sister-in-law was a fire fighter - big, strong girl, her earlier job was slinging luggage on the flightline for Delta. She became a paramedic. The only thing that should count is whether you can do the job. If you can't do that job, then find a job you CAN do. Do you not think fire inspectors and paramedics are not worthy jobs? And doesn't this free up the person having the musculature to be on the firefighting frontline, not being pulled for something else. Are they all not contributing to fire-fighting? Having the politically-approved skin color, primary sexual characteristics or personal sexual habits does not qualify you for the job -not even for White straight males.

Watch a few evenings of "On Patrol: Live" on Reelz, and you'll see how ineffective most policewomen are. First of all, they're pretty short, and the men tower over them. They clearly don't have to upper-body strength of the men, and have to rely on their male counterparts to wrestle the perps and cuff them. If they attempt to help their counterparts, they mostly get in the way. Usually, they walk the perps to the patrol car and drive them off to central booking where (presumably) they do all the arrest paperwork.

May I suggest that you all write to your Senators and Congressmen and spread this as a replacement for DEI. MCE (Merit, Competence, and Excellence) should be put in place going forward.

The One Rule to Getting a Miracle 16 replies
Posted by abuela10 10/22/2024 12:06:24 AM Post Reply
Do you believe in miracles? Throughout history, inexplicable events have occurred yet naysayers refuse to name them miracles preferring to call them a lucky coincidence. In 1980, however, when the young USA team won the Olympic winter game against the behemoth Russian team and then went on to win the gold, it was called, "the miracle on ice". The following year, a movie by that name debuted and another one opened in 2004 about the same "miracle. I wouldn't call this event a miracle which was the result of hard work but I'll bet some of the players followed the rule of getting a ‘miracle'. What was it, you may ask?

It is a real mystery why Trump Derangement Syndrome has managed to destroy the legacies of so many formerly admired Hollywood celebrities. Robert DeNiro, whom I had always thought was a terrific actor, has become such a vicious and profane TDS victim that I have lost the urge to watch again any of his great performances. After the braindead NY jury found Trump guilty of 34 fake felonies, Hollywood TDS-infected stars celebrated this egregious miscarriage of justice.

While I actually haven’t personally heard anyone blame God when they lost a close one in a tragedy, it’s a timeworn message in fiction novels. The protagonist wails against God when tragedy occurs or sometimes we read the words of an atheist shouting, “Where was God when the tsunami (earthquake, cyclone, hurricane, mass shooting, etc.) killed thousands? If there was a God, wouldn’t He have stopped this?” The truth is, God is an unlikely scapegoat and if one reads the Bible, especially the Old Testament, one would give Him the benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps only senior citizens will recognize his name and a few millennials might know that he was the father of Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher). Other cinephiles might know that he left his wife Debbie Reynolds to marry Elizabeth Taylor, who left him for Richard Burton, but since they’re all dead, who cares? Well, I was ten years old when I heard Eddie Fisher sing “Count Your Blessings” and it’s a lesson that in this crazy world of protests and angst, we should all heed especially in this season of increasing despair.

“We have put together" ... "the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization” in history…..Joe Biden 2020 Don't believe he said it? He may have misspoken or he may have just spoken the absolute truth. There was a great article in PJMedia by David Solway entitled: DeSantis in 2024? Think Again. It was an eye-opening although bleak reminder of how difficult it will be to elect any Republican given the voting machine manufactured and engineered by the Democrats and paid for by billionaire despots like George Soros and Sam Bankman-Fried.

 Forgive me for using such harsh words but I just watched Greg Gutfeld mock a NYC Councilwoman for making what can only be a very, very dumb inexplicable statement. Tiffany Caban, representing D22, released a public safety guide urging merchants to call 3-1-1, not 9-1-1, to seek mental health services and engage in community mediation, rather than call the cops. She tweeted: "We're distributing them to local businesses, so our neighborhood is equipped with better ways of solving problems than simply summoning police every time a challenge arises."

Perhaps stupid is not the right word. Gullible is not right either. It's really hard to pinpoint the main reason behind the disastrous state of our country but the cold hard fact is that many Americans have fallen for two of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated by the left , the media and corrupt politicians. It's too simple to blame the voters of any particular party when the main culprits are the individuals who just can't be bothered with politics. They don't want to get involved so they don't vote yet they complain when their taxes go up or their civil rights are taken away

If you are a parent or grandparent, you have probably at one point or another had one of your daughters or granddaughters come up and ask you if you would like to dress like a princess and have a tea party. Or perhaps your son or grandson has asked to dress up and play Cowboys and Indians. And of course we all did (to be clear though, I did not dress up as a princess). At some point, however, those children stop playing make believe.

Former president Donald Trump emerged from 38 days of self-enforced silence for a lengthy speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, that was frequently interrupted with boisterous applause and chants from an adoring, mostly white and older crowd. He was spot-on in his indictment of the five-week-old Biden administration, accusing the new president of lying about his "radical far-left" agenda during the campaign. Predictably, he also slammed the "fake news" for what he said was their assistance in covering up that agenda.

And the only takeaway from the night is the fact that liberals are awful people who hate themselves, each other, and the country.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is still trying to process her election loss to Donald Trump. And she's seeking counsel from the only source who can vaguely relate to the humiliation — Hillary Clinton. While the two share the struggle of coming to terms with spectacular defeats in their own rights, it's clear Harris, at least, is still eyeing a political future. Perhaps even the presidency. On that, there is little surprise. Reports have already surfaced indicating Harris has been actively instructing her advisers and allies to keep her political options open. That includes the possibility of a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the governorship in California in 2026.

It looks like the woke bishop who tried and failed to humiliate President Trump has some explaining to do. Bishop Marianne Budde made headlines when she went on a gaslighting LGBTQ diatribe at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday. President Trump and First Lady Melania along with J.D. Vance, wife Usha, and family members were in attendance and graciously stomached the lecture from Budde. Now it seems, there’s more to the story, according to Townhall columnist and “Minnesota GOP hype man” Dustin Grage. “This chick was at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis for almost two decades,” Grage said on X. “Guess who was in charge of the planning for inauguration?

As you know, President Trump kept one of his biggest promises: he pardoned all the January 6th political prisoners on day one. That’s the good news. The bad news is that reports suggest that some of these prisoners still haven’t been released, despite the fact that a presidential pardon is absolute and immediate.(snip)Now, more rumors are swirling. This time, we’re hearing unconfirmed reports that DC jail guards—suspected of abusing and beating January 6th prisoners—are in full-blown panic mode. According to the rumors, these terrified guards are worried their actions against J6 American citizens will come to light and force them to face justice.

In perhaps the most shocking, least expected twist of the last decade, Karine Jean-Pierre, the first "black, queer, immigrant" to hold the role of White House press secretary, has figured out why she faced so much criticism on the job. You didn't guess it because it's a move that no one could have foreseen, but she's...playing the race card. Vanity Fair is out with a new profile of Jean-Pierre (written by Jean-Pierre herself) because I guess they think Americans are dying for more information on the worst press secretary in presidential history. In it, she claims she faced unique hardships because of her race, sexual orientation, and immigration history.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Thursday that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks ahead of a crucial test vote. Murkowski, of Alaska, said in a lengthy statement that allegations of excessive drinking and aggressive actions toward women, which Hegseth has denied, show that his behaviors “starkly contrast” with what is expected of the U.S. military. She also noted his past statements that women should not fill military combat roles. “I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join,” Murkowski wrote on social media.

Sitting next to her husband, the former vice president put on a good face, but according to a new report, Doug Emhoff is now drawing ire. As RedState reported, Emhoff was at the center of multiple scandals during the ill-fated Harris campaign. Those include him committing adultery and getting his family's nanny pregnant as well as heavily corroborated allegation that he slapped an ex-girlfriend in public while drunk. Notably, Harris refused to address either situation, and Emhoff himself never denied either of them,

But after being let out of a medium-security federal prison in Pollock, Louisiana, the far-right activist went on arch conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's Infowars podcast and vowed payback to the January 6 Committee –

New York State has 670,000 residents who are illegal migrants – including 42,300 undocumented restaurant employees and 48,500 undocumented construction workers, an eye-opening report released Thursday said. The report from the liberal-leaning Fiscal Policy Institute revealed an underground economy of migrant workers in the Empire State, where 1.8 million residents are non-citizens that may also include green card holders. In total, there are 4.5 million foreign-born residents of the state, the report said. (Photo) The data in the report — released as President Trump vows a crackdown on illegal immigration — revealed:
