Maybe our Brit friends aren't all that liberal after all...

The court has ruled: “The definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.”
Judge Lord Patrick Hodge said in the ruling that the body of five judges had unanimously agreed that a man with a Gender Recognition Certificate, a UK legal paper that recognises that person’s assumed gender when it is other than their biological sex, could not be counted as a woman when it came to equality legislation.
As the court notes, this is pertinent to laws such as a 2018 Scottish law that moved to force gender equality on public bodies by mandating a 50-50 split between men and women on their boards. However as the law had been interpreted at times up to this ruling, a public body’s board could still be biologically totally male as long as half the members held Gender Recognition Certificates stating they were, in fact, women.
 
'Gender Recognition Certificate'. Think about that one. It's as if your government approves and certifies that if you identify as a turtle, you are, in fact, a turtle, and they'll give you an official document to prove it. Jeez...
 




I knew it wasn't just me...

This item popped up on a Google news page. 
It's not a website I follow, but it's spot on...  

It was just yesterday morning that I said something to the effect that there was something about this cartoon that jerked my failed-catholic chain. It appears as if I'm not the only one. I won't get in to the details of the article because it's irrelevant to my original point. 
These smarmy dickhead fuckwad libocrats at the New Yorker need a good smack in the back of the head, but maybe more so need a coupla lessons about what's funny and what isn't. As I've said numerous times, their efforts to be funny only come off as smart-ass, smarmy bullshit. Maybe it's their parents' fault. Enough on this. Let's bring a brighter outlook in to our day today.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that his state plans to sue in an attempt to block President Trump's sweeping tariff regime. Why it matters: California, the fifth-largest economy in the world, could lose billions in Trump's trade war with China.

An island-wide blackout hit Puerto Rico on Wednesday as the largely Catholic residents of the U.S. territory prepared to celebrate the Easter weekend. All 1.4 million clients on the island were without power, Hugo Sorrentini, spokesman for Luma Energy, which oversees the transmission and distribution of power, told The Associated Press. “The entire island is without generation,” he said.
I still have a number of friends living on island there and they tell me power outages are a common occurence - especially in the last five or so years. PR suffers a number of maladies, not the least of which is widespread corruption at every government level. It's run like a third-world country because that's exactly what it is...

Venice’s 'entrance fee' will resume this Friday, with the main novelty this year being that last-minute day-trippers will pay double. Last year, as part of an experiment aimed at dissuading day visitors during busy periods, Venice became the first major tourist city in the world to charge people to enter.
Although the initiative made little impact on visitor numbers, it did rake in €2.4m ($ 2.7mil) for the lagoon city’s coffers, much more than expected, and Venice authorities still believe it will eventually contribute to helping the Unesco world heritage city tackle overtourism.
I am Italian by descent. Been to Italy five times so far. Never had any interest in seeing Venice. Now more than ever have no desire or need to go - 10,000 visitors a day? Fuck that. Juss' sayin'...

A transgender Miss Maine USA contestant will face off against Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of head football coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and former New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick.
Isabelle St. Cyr, a 24-year-old male who identifies as female, is set to compete in the Miss Maine USA pageant next month in Portland, Maine, making the contestant the first transgender individual to go for the title

This is the newest promo - a glorified 'raffle' - from this outfit 'New Beginning Children's Homes' (NBCH), a 501(c)(3) organization, and sole sponsor of the 2025 Dream Giveaway promotions. 
The say it is a provider of long-term residential care, giving foster children a safe, family atmosphere where they can heal, grow, and be loved. What has happened to me that I've become so jaded  that I see shit like this and think 'gotta be a scam of some kind'. Anyway, research it on your own if you'd like. Helluva fuckin' car though, huh?

Most Democrats want their party to "become more progressive," and say they agree 
with the more aggressive stance being taken by lawmakers like Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who are calling on the party to take a "more aggressive stance" against President Donald Trump and his administration, according to new polls.
A poll from Survey USA, taken from April 2-6 of 859 Republicans and 885 Democrats, showed that 50% of Democrats want their party to become more progressive, with 24% wanting it to stay the same, and 18% calling for it to become more moderate. Among Republicans, 40% said their party should become more conservative while 44% said it should remain the same.

Global warming making you crazy? These guys say it actually might be. Jeez...

Extreme heat is putting people’s mental health at risk, an Australian study warns, linking rising temperatures to a growing burden of mental and behavioural disorders. High temperatures are already contributing to thousands of cases of poor mental health each year, the study published in Nature Climate Change on Monday says. This toll could increase drastically by 2050 as the planet continues to warm.
“From mild distress to serious conditions like schizophrenia, rising temperatures are making things harder for millions," Dr Peng Bi, lead author of the study from the University of Adelaide’s school of public health, says. How many more bullshit, ridiculous maladies, side efects, ecological problems and other disasters can they pin to 'climate change'? 
At some point they lose any credibility, if they even had it in the first place...

Another brilliant move by DJT on the border. How many cards does he really have up his sleeve?


A narrow stretch of federal lands that runs along a major portion of the U.S.-Mexico border has been transferred to the military in hopes of increasing migrant apprehensions under a new memo signed by President Donald Trump.
The Roosevelt Reservation, the 60-foot-wide strip of land that stretches across California, Arizona and New Mexico, will be treated as Department of Defense property, meaning those who walk on the land could be subject to detention and likely legal action.
The best part about this move? District federal courts (think judge-shopping) have absolutely ZERO jurisdiction on any military property or base. Fucking brilliant, Donny Boy...
 



And you wondered how we got so much in debt as a country?

 
This is a classic example of why DOGE is so important 
now - and forever...  

Harvard University Monday rejected the Trump administration's sweeping demands for oversight and internal policy changes, calling the effort an unlawful and unconstitutional overreach. Hours later, the administration said it was immediately freezing $2.3 billion in federal grants and contracts to Harvard and its affiliated hospitals and research institutions.
This showcases how the 'you scratch my back' mindset of Washington works. Why the fuck are pols and administraters giving your money to a college - any college - that is not a PUBLIC college? These elitist fuckwads don't need your money - fuck they have 54 billion friggin' dollars sitting tax free (yeah - that's right) in their 'endowments'. Let 'em spend that if they're broke. This shit has to stop, and it has to stop yesterday. 
And don't start talking to me about 'academic freedom'. You want to be 'free'? Don't accept Government monies that absolutely should come with conditions, ya dickheads. Ya want the money? Obey the rules, period, end of sentence. Juss' sayin'...

An unidentified Polish man died after drunkenly driving into a tree, after which his BAC was measured at a world-record 1.48. That means over one percent of his blood was straight-up booze. The legal limit for driving in the U.S. is .08 percent, while death is “likely” if you hit .5 percent.

Dan Caldwell, a senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was escorted out of the Pentagon building as part of an "unauthorized disclosure" investigation. He is accused of leaking sensitive defense intel to a liberal reporter.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Another one comes out of nowhere...
Another grassroots, widespread, most-likely Sorros-funded bullshit day of protest against the Trump administration is planned nationwide on Saturday. The 50501 Movement 'takes momentum from recent protests to encourage Americans to become each other's "social support web" as the administration's policies target marginalized communities.' The name '50501 Movement', meaning 50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement, is pushing back against what it called executive overreach from the Trump administration. Its organizing started on Reddit. "Our movement shows the world that the American working class will not sit idly by as plutocrats rip apart their democratic institutions and civil liberties while undermining the rule of law," the movement's website said.
Think about this for half a second. These people are going to demonstrate against DJT's efforts to save them money, reduce regs on their lifes and lifestyles, get rid of illegals (especially gang-banger criminal types) and lower prices for consumers across the board. THAT is what his administration is doing, and they don't like it one bit.

What - if anything - did they accomplish?  One of them actually had the balls to refer to herself and her other rich-bitch friends that she - and they - were astronauts having done this. A news outlet referred to them as 'the crew of the space flight'. 
They were neither. They were attention-whore rich people who were passengers on a very expensive carnival ride. Get over yourselves, ladies. You proved - and accomplished - nothing of significance to anyone but yourselves. Jeez.

I'm not a religious guy by any stretch of the imagination, but there's something about this cartoon that kinda chafes me a bit. This is what the New Yorker Magazine thinks is funny these days. I don't think they've run a truly legit funny cartoon in ten years at least. It mostly smug, hipster bullshit that I don't even get most of the time, but WTF do I know? I tought Dom Deluise and Jonathan Winters were funny as fuck all, so that's my perpsective.
