  • But Liu, who has attained success based on his identity and cultural background, feels that it is his job to gate-keep that Asian culture from anyone in Canadian and American markets who is not Asian themselves or not showing proper enough deference to Asian culture.

    Really? Is he gate-keeping Asian culture? What about the fact that the concept of “asian culture” is in itself an ignorant and racist idea because there are many different Asian nations and ethnic groups and cultures.

    More to the point: dude on a TV show is asked to give opinions on different business ventures and gives his opinion. Somehow this translates into gate-keeping Asian culture from Canadian and American markets? Bullshit.

    That trendy sugary drink that you are never quite sure about it’s contents. Those days are over!

    Here’s the issue for most people. The marketing here is that because this trendy drink is made by strsnge foreign ethnic people you don’t know what’s in it! You can’t trust those asian drinks! But those days are over because white people are making it now, and you can trust our simple ingredients. This has nothing to do with gate-keeping, and everything to do with trying to make a profit off racism and xenophobia. This might be perfectly legal in Canada, I don’t know, but trying to generate outrage about people not wanting to participate in that is bullshit.


  • Wait, what’s the takeaway here? I assume conservatives like Elon Musk because he supports the republican guy, but at the same time, electric vehicles are weak, woke and soy-cuck. Also climate change isn’t real anyway, and even if it were, rolling coal in front of them dang ole libtards would be worth it.

    And as for the police, do we support them because thin blue line and law and order, or do we mistrust them because ain’t they just a tool of government tyranny? I mean who was it killin God fearing Americans at Ruby Ridge and Waco? It was cops.

    I’ve never drove a Tesla but they don’t sound so great based on this and other things I read about em.







  • September 2019

    Mentioning states that would likely be impacted by the storm, he incorrectly included Alabama, which by then was known not to be under threat from the storm. Over the following week, the President repeatedly insisted his comment had been correct. On September 4, he showed reporters a weather map which had been altered with a black Sharpie marker to show the hurricane’s track threatening Alabama. He also reportedly ordered his aides to obtain an official retraction of the weather bureau’s comment that the storm was not headed for Alabama.

    When asked by reporters how the Sharpie marker ended up on the printed map, Trump said: “I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.”

    While I don’t disagree that Biden ought to retire and spend his time doing something else, any reasonable person should realize the other guy is not a better choice.




  • OK I see. Apparently the DEI hiring process is such that a male applicant with several degrees in administration of justice, a blackbelt in akido and holder of both rifle and pistol expert qualification badges would be passed over in favor of a female applicant whose qualifications include having “been to a laundromat a few times” and “knows all the words to Vanessa Carlton’s 2002 hit single A Thousand Miles”.

    Well I’m not in favor of that but in the case where both male and female applicants are equally qualified, it makes more sense to hire the woman because you can pay them less.






  • In 2004, Arizona passed a law requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote

    Prop 200, the 2004 Arizona law that started all this trouble, was pushed hard by republicans and in particular promoted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

    The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organizationThe Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a nonprofit, anti-immigration organization in the United States. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies FAIR as a HATE GROUP with ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST groups. FAIR was founded in 1979 by Michigan surgeon and white nationalist John Tanton.[13][14][15] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_for_American_Immigration_Reform

    So the strange story here is that republicans and white nationalists, in an effort to stop nonwhite people from voting, created this situation in which a large number of white republicans are in fact ineligible to vote, and have been voting illegally for years.

    Now that democrats have discovered this issue, white nationalist republicans are trying to blame democrats for the problem that white nationalist republicans created.


  • Confronted by compelling peer-reviewed scientific evidence of the harms of smoking, the tobacco industry, beginning in the 1950s, used sophisticated public relations approaches to undermine and distort the emerging science.

    The industry campaign worked to create a scientific controversy through a program that depended on the creation of industry–academic conflicts of interest. This strategy of producing scientific uncertainty undercut public health efforts and regulatory interventions designed to reduce the harms of smoking.

    A number of industries have subsequently followed this approach to disrupting normative science. Claims of scientific uncertainty and lack of proof also lead to the assertion of individual responsibility for industrially produced health risks. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3490543/

    These climate alarmists are simply trying to disrupt our God-given prosperity and thwart the inevitable triumph of American commerce. Experts at the ExxonMobil Climate Research Institute assure me there is no actual evidence to suggest climate change is even real.
