He broke Royal protocol by showing up after the Queen mother did.
He can't get a fucking thing right.
He referred to the RAF using the wrong acronym.
The rest of the dignitaries avoided him except for the required photo ops.
Putin.. Kim jung un .. the mullahs and Yi are rolling over laughing at him.
Even the British press has referred to him as senile.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Even a defector from North Korea thinks liberals are fucking nuts. She compares liberals to North Korean Leader.




North Korean defector says 'even North Korea was not this nuts' after attending Ivy League school
Yeonmi Park escaped the oppressive regime in 2007 at the age of 13


As American educational institutions continue to be called into question, a North Korean defector fears the United States' future "is as bleak as North Korea" after she attended one of the country's most prestigious universities.


Yeonmi Park has experienced plenty of struggle and hardship, but she does not call herself a victim.


One of several hundred North Korean defectors settled in the United States, Park, 27, transferred to Columbia University from a South Korean university in 2016 and was deeply disturbed by what she found.


"I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think," Park said in an interview with Fox News. "I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying."


Those similarities include anti-Western sentiment, collective guilt and suffocating political correctness.


Yeonmi saw red flags immediately upon arriving at the school.


During orientation, she was scolded by a university staff member for admitting she enjoyed classic literature such as Jane Austen.








NEW YORK CITY'S MESSAGE TO KIM JONG UN HONORING OTTO WARMBIER


It only got worse from there as Yeonmi realized that every one of her classes at the Ivy League school was infected with what she saw as anti-American propaganda, reminiscent to the sort she had grown up with.





"The math problems would say 'there are four American bastards, you kill two of them, how many American bastards are left to kill?'"


She was also shocked and confused by issues surrounding gender and language, with every class asking students to announce their preferred pronouns.


"English is my third language. I learned it as an adult. I sometimes still say 'he' or 'she' by mistake and now they are going to ask me to call them 'they'? How the heck do I incorporate that into my sentences?"


"It was chaos," said Yeonmi. "It felt like the regression in civilization."


"Even North Korea is not this nuts," she admitted. "North Korea was pretty crazy, but not this crazy."


After getting into a number of arguments with professors and students, eventually Yeonmi "learned how to just shut up" in order to maintain a good GPA and graduate.


In North Korea, Yeonmi Park did not know of concepts like love or liberty.


"Because I have seen oppression, I know what it looks like," said Yeonmi, who by the age of 13 had witnessed people drop dead of starvation right before her eyes.





"I literally crossed through the middle of the Gobi Desert to be free. But what I did was nothing, so many people fought harder than me and didn't make it."


Park and her mother first fled the oppressive North Korean regime in 2007, when Yeonmi was 13 years old.


After crossing into China over the frozen Yalu River, they fell into the hands of human traffickers who sold them into slavery: Yeonmi for less than $300 and her mother for roughly $100.


With the help of Christian missionaries, the pair managed to flee to Mongolia, walking across the Gobi Desert to eventually find refuge in South Korea.





"The people here are just dying to give their rights and power to the government. That is what scares me the most," the human right activist said.


She accused American higher education institutions of stripping people's ability to think critically.


"In North Korea I literally believed that my Dear Leader [Kim Jong-un] was starving," she recalled. "He's the fattest guy - how can anyone believe that? And then somebody showed me a photo and said 'Look at him, he's the fattest guy. Other people are all thin.' And I was like, 'Oh my God, why did I not notice that he was fat?' Because I never learned how to think critically."


"That is what is happening in America," she continued. "People see things but they've just completely lost the ability to think critically."

"North Koreans, we don't have Internet, we don't have access to any of these great thinkers, we don't know anything. But here, while having everything, people choose to be brainwashed. And they deny it."


Having come to America with high hopes and expectations, Yeonmi expressed her disappointment.


"You guys have lost common sense to degree that I as a North Korean cannot even comprehend," she said.





"I guess that's what they want, to destroy every single thing and rebuild into a Communist paradise."

Chuck Schumer refers to mentally-disabled homeless kids as 'retarded'

Chuck Schumer has raised eyebrows by referring to mentally disabled homeless children as 'retarded'.
The Senate minority leader, who represents New York, was asked on a Sunday podcast about housing in New York City.
Schumer, 70, told how he understood the complexities of social housing, and especially homeless shelters, thanks to previous experience.
'I wanted to build, when I first was an assemblyman, they wanted to build a congregant living place for retarded children, and the whole neighborhood was against it,' he said.

'These are harmless kids. They just needed some help. We got it done, [but] it took a while.'
Schumer's spokesman later acknowledged his word choice was 'inappropriate and outdated.'
'For decades, Senator Schumer has been an ardent champion for enlightened policy and full funding of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities,' the spokesperson told the Washington Examiner.
'He used an inappropriate and outdated word in his description of an effort he supported that was led by the AHRC to build a group home in his Brooklyn district decades ago to provide housing and services to children with developmental disabilities.
'He is sincerely sorry for his use of the outdated and hurtful language.'

Opppps another problem pops up about wind turbine technology.


Even After John Kerry Promised Plentiful Green Jobs, South Dakota Wind Turbine Plant Will Shut Down

Molded Fiber Glass will shut down its Aberdeen, South Dakota, plant in August despite the goals of the current administration to transition toward renewable energy.
The company, which makes blades for wind turbines, announced last week that 300 jobs will be lost, KELO-TV reported.

@DailyCaller



John Kerry is asked what his message would be to oil and gas workers who "see an end to their livelihoods": "What President Biden wants to do is make sure that those folks have better choices... That they can be the people to go to work to make the solar panels."

I wonder how much Denero Kerry sunk into that company? ( Psst.. you know the hear about all the bills and good deals from the companies...)

New YorkS&P Global.
In a free-market economy, companies such as Molded Fiber Glass might decide that the best business decision is to exit a specific area, leaving workers without other jobs available nearby in the energy industry.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

Gov. Kristi Noem Skewers 'Hypocritical' Biden After White House Announces July 4 Plans


South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem said Tuesday she has resubmitted her request to set off fireworks at Mount Rushmore after the Biden administration announced an Independence Day celebration in Washington, D.C.
Noem took to Twitter to call out President Joe Biden’s hypocrisy concerning his administration’s refusal to allow fireworks at the state’s top tourist destination despite launching similar plans for the nation’s capital.
“Rules for thee but not for me…a long time favorite from the Democrat playbook. @joebiden, why are you being so hypocritical? You’re having your own personal fireworks show in DC, but South Dakotans are told no?” she said.

@KristiNoem

A second post tweeted, “Given this hypocrisy, we will be resubmitting our request to hold our celebration at Mount Rushmore on July 3rd. Stay tuned!”

“By July the 4, there’s a good chance you, your families and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbeque and celebrate Independence Day,” Biden had said as he marked the one-year anniversary of the pandemic on March 11, according to The Associated Press.

Joe I have been having cookouts and gatherings in my yard since the weather turned warmer.. Didn't ask for your or Gov. Pooper's permission. I will have fireworks on 7/4/21.. drop on by if you care to be in MAGA land.

“That doesn’t mean large events with lots of people together, but it does mean small groups will be able to get together,” he added.
The National Park Service appears to have changed gears somewhat from Biden’s original statement, announcing fireworks will return to the National Mall for 2021.
“This year’s display not only celebrates the 245th anniversary of American independence, but also marks an important step forward as the city emerges from the pandemic,” superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks Jeff Reinbold said in a statement, according to WRC-TV.

The outlet’s report also cautioned, “Anyone who is not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is asked to wear a mask. Everyone should wear a mask on public transportation under federal and D.C. regulations.”
Noem has taken numerous actions to return fireworks to Mount Rushmore to celebrate Independence Day. But she has been shut down by the Biden administration or a federal court at seemingly every turn.

“Noem filed a lawsuit after the National Park Service rejected the state request for July 4th fireworks at the national monument,” according to KELO-TV.
“On June 2, a federal judge ruled against the lawsuit,” it added.

A fireworks celebration was held on July 4 in 2020 at Mount Rushmore and included an appearance by then-President Donald Trump.
In a letter from Noem to Biden in April, she accused the National Park Service of reneging on its Memorandum of Agreement to hold the event and noted that contact tracing did not find any cases linked to last year’s celebration at the monument.
The park service is “unable to grant a request to have fireworks at the Memorial” this year, NPS Regional Director Herbert Frost originally wrote in a March letter to South Dakota’s tourism department, according to The Hill.
“Potential risks to the park itself and to the health and safety of employees and visitors associated with the fireworks demonstration continue to be a concern and are still being evaluated as a result of the 2020 event,” Frost wrote.

Noem, a Republican, said the monument and fireworks are a natural partnership.
“There is a long history of celebrations of American independence at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, including fireworks displays from 1998 to 2009 and again in 2020,” she said in the letter to Biden, though as of yet, her words have not convinced the administration to change course.
