A strange question came to mind while listening to a recent newscast. When people speak of diversity and inclusion just what do they mean? What is included in diversity? Are they speaking of race, gender, ethnicity, wealth, religion, medical condition, or political ideology? When we say we must expand diversity what do we mean?
For fun I researched a few ideas. Like how many races worldwide, now many countries, how many religions, how many political ideologies? The mathematical combinations becomes astronomical.
Specific Division
Number
Countries in World
39—–195
Race
10
Religions
12—–4000
Sexual Orientations
9 ??????
Ethnicity
8—–650
Language Spoken
12—-7100
In order to estimate the totality of what is included in diversity I would multiply these six numerical divisions by them selves or to put into a mathematical form
Diversity = (195 x 10 x 4000 x 9 x 650 x 7100) = 31,941 x 10 to the tenth power
or, if i multiply the most common diversities factors
Diversity = ( 39 x 10 x 12 x 9 x 8 x 12) = 4,043,520 diverse combinations
This number of combinations is so huge that diversity becomes unimaginable.
So what do we really mean by diversity, and why is it important? I’d say that Disney Studios should define it as bankruptcy, and as far as importance to Disney I’d say it isn’t important at all. If a company goes bankrupt because they try to write stories or remake movies based on diversity that diversity is absolutely not important.
In my estimation the leaders of Disney who have embraced trying to maximize diversity into their casts are nothing more than numbskulls. When I look at the number of possibilities to make something diverse I would select the first number of actors who fit the characters in the scenario and go with it. There would be a ninety percent chance that the cast would be as diverse as the population of the world. Forcing diversity into a story line that takes place in a specific region of the world could make no sense at all. For instance, casting blacks into a story that occurs in Ancient China would make no sense at all. Casting lily white people as black slaves, or American Indians in a story about the French revolution would be equally stupid. Entertainment companies that use diversity as a mainline premise for casting characters is nothing short of lunacy.
Why is there so much pressure on us to make everything diverse? This movement is being led by the same people who are leading us into communism. They have been trying their damndest to convert us into a stupid failed ideology by using any kind of idea they think can divide and conquer.
When we finally convince them that diversity is a bad idea they will reach into their cauldron of evil ideas to sell us something new, but I assure you it won’t be anything new. It will be another failed idea with a new coat of paint. A simpler way to say it is ‘lipstick on a pig.’
This article knocked my socks off. I suspected what the author writes about, i. e. that crime statistics are heavily skewed by major population centers. Daniel Greenfield states the facts to support my suspicions.

1% OF DEMOCRAT COUNTIES MAKE UP 42% OF AMERICA’S MURDERS
Democrats desperately trying to spin high crime rates caused by their pro-crime policies began falsely claiming that crime was a Republican problem. The media began running articles with headlines like, “Red States Have Higher Murder Rates” and “Republicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime — But They’re the Ones with a Real Crime Problem”.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, who once claimed that the internet would have no more of an impact than the fax machine, argued that high crime was really a Republican problem and decided to prove it by claiming that, “Oklahoma’s murder rate was almost 50 percent higher than California’s, almost double New York’s.”
Krugman, who somehow has a Nobel Prize, failed to note that most of the murders were coming out of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. In last year’s gubernatorial election, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt won most of the state while Oklahoma, Tulsa and Cleveland counties however went to leftist Democrat Joy Hofmeister. The ‘blue’ parts of Oklahoma are also red with blood.
“The fact is the rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma under your watch,” Hoffmeister had claimed in a viral gubernatorial debate attack. Oklahoma had 287 murders in 2020: 166 came out of Oklahoma County and Tulsa County, the two counties that supported Hoffmeister.
Oklahoma County and Tulsa are two of the 62 counties that were responsible for 56% of America’s murders in 2020. A groundbreaking study by John R. Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center, revealed that “1% of counties have 21% of the population and 42% of the murders” and “2% of counties contain 31% of the population and 56% of the murders.”
The 1% of bloody red counties include such Democrat strongholds as Philadelphia, New York City, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Dallas, D.C., Miami-Dade, Milwaukee, San Diego, St. Louis, Chicago’s Cook County, L Houston’s Harris County, Detroit’s Wayne County, Memphis’ Shelby County, Pheonix’s Maricopa County, Cleveland’s Cuyahoga County, and many others.
Biden won Cook County, the bloodiest county in the country, by 66%. He won Los Angeles County, the second bloodiest, by 71%, Harris County by 56%, Philadelphia by 81%, New York City by 76%, Wayne County by 68%, and Shelby County by 64%.
Shelby was not only one of the three counties in Tennessee to vote Democrat, it was also responsible for 311 of the state’s 682 murders. Similarly, Wayne County was responsible for 379 of Michigan’s 693 murders. Houston accounted for 405 of the 537 murders in Harris County and along with Dallas’ 251 murders, Austin’s 47, San Antonio’s 128, Fort Worth’s 99, accounted for around half of murders in Texas. Maricopa County made up 299 of the 423 murders in Arizona.
Marion County, where Indianapolis is located, accounted for nearly half of the murders in the state, even though it has less than 10% of the population. Milwaukee was responsible for 201 of Wisconsin’s 308 murders even though it also has less than 10% of the population.
There isn’t a red state murder problem, red states have a Democrat crime problem.
The CPRC study showed that while 2% of counties populated by Democrats were responsible for 56% of the country’s murders, 52% of counties had no murders and 68% of counties had at most one murder.
These numbers clearly show that America is not a violent country, that we do not have a crime problem and that gun culture is not the issue: crime culture in Democrat cities is the issue.
Democrat crime cities and counties have created a massive social problem that otherwise would hardly exist. As the study notes, “If the 1% of the counties with the worst number of murders somehow were to become a separate country, the murder rate in the rest of the US would have been only 4.31 in 2020. Removing the worst 2% or 5% would have reduced the US rate to just 3.71 or 2.99 per 100,000, respectively.” We could have the murder rate of New Zealand.
If it wasn’t for the Democrat crime counties.
America is not a dangerous or crime-ridden country. Unfortunately Democrat cities are overrun with criminals and the politicians who cater to them. The Democrats became an urban party and, after jettisoning the white working class and the small business middle class became the party of criminals. From police defunding to the Black Lives Matter riots to mass jailbreaks and the legalization of drugs and shoplifting in major cities, they embraced pro-crime policies that unleashed a massive crime wave. And now they pretend not to know what’s causing the crime.
“Nationwide, violent crime rose substantially in 2020,” Krugman admitted. “Nobody knows for sure what caused the surge — just as nobody knows for sure what caused the epic decline in crime from 1990 to the mid-2010.”
Tough-on-crime policies cut crime in the 90s and the oughts: pro-crime policies boosted crime.
There’s no mystery here. Crime is caused by repeat offenders. In the 90s we began locking them up and then about 5 years ago, we began letting them go at the federal and state level.
In ‘I Can’t Breathe: How a Racial Hoax Is Killing America’, David Horowitz exposed the lies behind the Black Lives Matter pro-crime movement and warned of the pandemic of crime that was being unleashed. That hoax has unleashed unprecedented violence, but that crime wave largely remains confined to Democrat areas where criminals prey on members of the party.
More than an additional 5,000 people were killed in 2020. There is little doubt that the disproportionate majority of both the victims and the killers were Democrats. Democrat pro-crime policies are killing Americans, but mostly they’re killing fellow Democrats.
An added 5,000 murders alone means $85 billion in costs. That’s a fraction of the money, estimated at half a trillion dollars, that we spend every year coping with the criminal justice and social problems caused by Democrat crime.
America could be a safe and pleasant place to live. And the majority of its counties, which are mostly Republican, are. Unfortunately many of its Democrat counties are broken places, packed with broken families, criminal cultures and leftist politicians who pander to the criminals.
And the party and its media cover it up with lies about systemic racism.

I received this article from a friend and it scared the heck out of me. Last week my step grandson(28) was invited to a party in Chicago. He opted not to go because a new law that went into effect in Chicago on 3 January. No vaccination no entry into a public place.
Implanting chips in people so Uncle can know where you are, and what you are doing so he can prohibit you from getting into a place for the public good is just plain scary.
The fact that that sounds like a command, is enough to raise the hackles of any person that deeply values their autonomy, and when it comes to being forced into a technocracy, that reaction is 100 percent justified.
Orwell’s 1984 is probably springing to mind right about now. The company has received widespread criticism because of the risk that this technology truly would plunge us all into an Orwellian dystopia.
No one wants a totalitarian surveillance state, unless of course, you happen to be the person at the top, running the show.
The managing director of Dsruptive Subdermals, Hannes Sjoblad has dismissed such concerns, saying, “this technology exists and is used whether we like it or not,”
“I am happy that it is brought into the public conversation,” he added. “New technologies must be broadly debated and understood.”
Sjoblad insisted that the microchip is not going to track the location of those who have it, but to is being used to “transform healthcare on a global scale,” by working with governments to use the technology as a medical ID card, showing in an instant whether or not they are allowed in the supermarket or theater.
“For example, if I go to the movies or go to a shopping centre, then people will be able to check my status even if I don’t have my phone,” he said.
That doesn’t sound suspicious at all.
On the microchips locating capabilities, Sjoblad said, “They can never tell your location, they’re only activated when you touch them with your smartphone, so this means they cannot be used for tracking anyone’s location.”
The chip is a pre-programmed scannable implant and measures around 2 millimeters by 16 millimeters.
Amongst those who were critical of the mass implantation of microchips, were pro-vaccine, pro-vaccine passport supporters.
They pointed put that the company wanting to chip everyone – whether they want it or not – plays into supposed ‘conspiracy theorists’ fears of a big brother society, wanting to track their every movements.
Despite Sjoblad’s assertions that this is not their intention, it is possible, could it happen?
The short answer, is yes. The short answer is, he lied.
Given the fact that the microchip would be scanned before you are able to enter an establishment, would actually be, in fact, tracking your location.
Those who are running the technology would know where you were, at what time, on what day – that’s tracking you.
For those who read the Bible and are aware of Revelation, the microchip could be likened to ‘the mark of the beast’ and the coming of the Antichrist.
The evidence is in plain view, Globalist elites are using technology and coercion to force you towards the abyss. The only way to fight is to not comply.
I want to kick off December with my first post to recognize some really special people who obviously have more luck than brains.
Stella Awards There are no words! Enjoy, while you are scratching your heads…….. It’s time again for the “Stella Awards”! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s where she purchased the coffee. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right?
That’s right; these were awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So keep your head scratcher handy.
Here are some of the most outlandish Stella’s:
SEVENTH PLACE
Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict, considering the running toddler was her own son.
Start scratching!
————————
SIXTH PLACE *
Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord.Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.
Scratch some more…
————————–
FIFTH PLACE *
Terrence Dickson, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight, count ’em, EIGHT days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner’s insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There’s more..
Double hand scratching after this one.
——————————-
FOURTH PLACE *
Jerry Williams, of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella’s when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor’s beagle – even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun.
Pick a new spot to scratch, you’re getting a bald spot.
———————————–
THIRD PLACE *
Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania wins third place because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.
Only two more so ease up on the scratching..
————————————-
*SECOND PLACE*
Kara Walton, of Claymont, Delaware sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies room window to avoid paying the cover charge of $3.50 . The jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000 and, oh yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure.
Ok. Here we go!!
———————————
FIRST PLACE *
This year’s runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver’s seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually leave the driver’s seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? $1,750,000. PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
If you think the USA court system is out of control, be sure to pass this one on! Never mind the court system, but how’d those juries come to those conclusions…
Some of you may have noticed that I didn’t post for a few days nor did I reply to comments. Last week I finally decided it was time to kick COVID down the road; I took a road trip to visit Wisconsin. Along the drive I began to notice yards signs for Biden/Harris. Not just real estate sized signs, but huge 4 feet by 6 feet signs. Being in farm territory the signs were big so people would notice. I was beginning to regret coming into such hostile territory when a Trump sign appeared, then another and another. I would say that Wisconsin is more for Biden. I also now know why we refer to them as cheese heads, and it’s not because of the Green Bay Packers either.
I stopped at a truck stop to relieve the pressure on my prostate and spotted a tall thin black man hawking tee shirts outside. The front of the shirt said “Biden Sucks”, the back of the shirt said “Nancy Swallows.” He was selling them like hot cakes. I resisted
Today I heard that our governor has declared Wisconsin out of bounds. Anyone entering Illinois from Wisconsin will have to self quarantine for fourteen days before making contact with the general population. What is a person to do? Sit in his car for two weeks? I say that decree is long past being effective because the COVID numbers are in decline. That announcement should have been declared on March first. That is what happens when we put the Governor in charge of protecting us. It is also an indicator of the guys ability to think rationally.
I found the people of Wisconsin in strict adherence with their state recommendations. They all wore masks, kept their distance and generally were friendly. The restaurants and bars were open for inside seating. The towns I visited were on lakes so most people wanted outdoor seating on the shoreline. Shops selling stuff had sanitizer at the entrances with signs asking people to please squirt some on your hands to kill any COVID you may have picked up at the last place you were in.
Tramping through tee shirt shops didn’t really turn me on and the only place I did get turned on was out of bounds for me, an art gallery. I saw two large oils that I would have popped for if I weren’t selling all my stuff to simplify.
Note the price difference. I thought it is hilarious.
To make my life easier, I self declared this a cheat weekend and KETO be damned. I ate stuff like a crazy person, bread, pastries, ice cream, and sugary fruits. Life is too short not to enjoy it. It was in direct opposition to my goal of losing the beer belly which I developed while enjoying life over the past twenty years. I hate my beer belly. It gets in the way of too many things, and since I can’t seem to keep food in my mouth lately the droppings always land on my belly and dirty a nice clean shirt.
There were not many people enjoying the lake on boats. I think because it is mid-September many of the boats have been pulled from the water already. The weather was ideal for water sports, in the mid-seventies, no wind, and continuous sun.
I woke up Saturday morning to find a Harvest Festival going on under my window. There was not a single warning sign anywhere about it, but the locals were already streaming in by 7:30 a.m. Everyone followed the rules. I stopped at the Lions booth to learn what they were selling: roasted corn and baked potato. Too bad I just had a huge breakfast.
One thing I found hugely obvious is the number of Mexican businesses in town; four restaurants, a western wear shop, smaller super mercados, a bar, and a barber shop that was open on Sunday all within two blocks on Main street. They have landed and are obviously not letting anybody get in the way of their making a better life for themselves.
The biggest mishap of this adventure was leaving the charger for my lap top at home. I was able to watch a single episode of my favorite series when the Mac died. That was really the main reason I didn’t post during the trip. It forced me to watch conventional TV, but the picture was not HD and I hated it. All my reading material is on the lap top, so I couldn’t read a book, I resorted to the Enquirer tabloid, but that only took thirty minutes to read cover to cover. I got sucked in by a headline declaring Michelle Obama was sick of Barrack and wanted to throw him off the roof. Inside, the story didn’t have anything harsh to say about the couple, In fact I thought they wasted the ink on it. I’m sure the Enquirer doesn’t give a rats ass about not delivering all they wanted was for me to drop the money for their tabloid, and they succeeded.
I sat in the quiet room on Saturday evening thinking it was only yesterday that I left home. It felt like a week ago. The getaway succeeded in taking my mind off the drone-like life I have been leading.
Oh yeah, the soy beans are yellow and the corn husks are beginning to shrivel like they are drying out too. Soon the bright green Deere harvesters will be smoking away in field after field stripping the ground of its summer output.
