The donation request appeared in an e-mail last month from the official city council address of a Zhuang staffer. The nonprofit is also linked to a cohort of CCP-controlled groups outside China that aims to suppress criticism of the party and influence countries to enact pro-CCP policies.</p><p>Zhuang also recently helped organize an embarrassing far-right rally against a proposed homeless shelter.</p><p>Look under the toilet lid of any recent authoritarian trend in American public policy, and there's a good chance there's some link with the CCP. But there are usually more direct links with the CIA, which itself is CCP-linked. Major American media outlets are always happy to help them. The media supports authoritarian policies, and therefore, they support authoritarian regimes. The parent companies of top news organizations also have major interests in China like amusement parks and other investments. This is also why American movie studios censor their products to appease the Chinese government. Even the versions of movies distributed in the U.S. are edited like this.</p><p>And - you knew this was coming - this is also why the media praised China's COVID response but bashed Sweden's response. They continue to do it.</p><p>America and many other countries are becoming more and more like colonies of the Chinese Communist Party.</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-33105768821863285092024-03-15T16:08:00.003-04:002024-03-15T16:08:11.115-04:00Cut a fart at Target too!When it rains, it pours!<p>Today at the Target in Newport, I detected the sound of 3 - count 'em, 3 - LAP bunkeroos.</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-9643965909790480292024-03-14T20:45:00.001-04:002024-03-14T21:51:00.304-04:00Idiot thinks searching bags at beaches is legalWe can all agree that Florida had a better COVID response than most of the rest of America, but the Miami area was a stark exception. True to form, the city of Miami Beach continues to violate the Constitution with no end in sight.<p>The city recently announced it would start searching bags of people entering the beach. This is an unambiguous Fourth Amendment violation. There is no wiggle room on this. The Fourth Amendment's safeguard against unreasonable searches and seizures seems almost tailor-made for protecting against this.</p><p>Somebody posted on a Reddit forum for legal advice asking if this was unconstitutional. Of course it is. But someone replied...</p><p><i>"No, it's not Unconstitutional.</i></p><p><i>"You can avoid your bag being searched by not going to the beach or not taking your bag to the beach.</i></p><p><i>"If you choose to take your bag in, you are consenting to the search.</i></p><p><i>"If you refuse the search, they won't search, but they also won't let you in."</i></p><p>Wrong, stupid. The beach is public in every sense of the word. The whole point of a free country is that you don't have to avoid going to public places like the beach. You don't have to choose to stay away from a public place just so you won't be searched.</p><p>Allowing these beach searches is no different from stopping and searching every car driving down the street.</p><p>What's shocking is that someone who is apparently an adult has so little grasp of basic civics. But this isn't new. Paid trolls have been filling online forums for years. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA is funding trolls like this now. Bet on it.</p><p>Hopefully, someone will sue Miami Beach.</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-76731898095840457912024-03-11T17:23:00.006-04:002024-03-11T17:23:43.155-04:00When Kentucky abused childrenMy latest Substack entry is about the doublespeak Kentucky used when digging in on mask mandates in daycares:<p><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/bandit73/p/when-kentucky-abused-children">https://open.substack.com/pub/bandit73/p/when-kentucky-abused-children</a></p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-13647215672013656002024-03-11T16:45:00.001-04:002024-03-11T16:45:06.539-04:00Cut a fart at Kroger!Today at Kroger, some old man ripped an LAP bunker blast.Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-72747279943096974762024-03-06T22:38:00.002-05:002024-03-06T22:38:38.861-05:00It's bubbling season, Charlie Brown!The most hilarious time of the year - bubbling season - is fast approaching!<p>Today, some woman walking up the street bubbled.</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-25196932486725574022024-03-05T11:14:00.001-05:002024-03-05T11:16:14.480-05:00San Francisco: "We must have fewer schools"San Francisco is borrowing a page from the Campbell County playbook!<p>In a video released on Saturday, the superintendent of the San Francisco school system declared, "We must have fewer schools."</p><p>Civilized countries are building more and better schools. But in America, schools are being shuttered. It appears as if San Francisco will be a particularly egregious offender. For many years, San Francisco was one of America's great cities. Now it's experiencing the same decline suffered by Cincinnati 40 years ago. At least Cincinnati survived that - though not unscathed. There's no guarantee San Francisco will even last another 40 years.</p><p>Make no mistake, San Francisco schools have seen a steep drop in enrollment in the past few years. But most of that was the schools' doing. After schools first closed over COVID, the city's schools could have returned to completely normal operation before the end of the school year. Yet the district chose to wait over a year before reopening at all, and didn't go back to normal business for months after. It was so bad that the city took the unique step of suing the school district. The only positive in this story is that the city sued. At least that's better than what occurred in other communities, where city or county officials let schools' incompetence at the time go unanswered. But this shows just how bad San Francisco schools got. Indeed, school systems that did not resume normal operation by mid-2020 should be required to forfeit public funds they got in the ensuing months or years of bad conditions, but that's another matter altogether.</p><p>We spent our entire youths being harangued about how important school was. What message does it send when school districts close schools?</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-25084754564093321752024-03-04T15:46:00.006-05:002024-03-04T15:46:27.541-05:00Dayton!

But an Iowa district is considering starting its school year before August 23, and families there are angry that it's starting too early. In fact, there appears to be a state law in Iowa prohibiting the school year from starting before August 23.<p>Kentucky needs to be more like Iowa. A state law to prevent the school year from starting too early might be a very good thing for Kentucky. Summer break is useful for not only recreation but also agriculture and summer jobs. Some public officials and media outlets enjoy bashing small farmers, but farming is a necessary activity. No farms means no food. Central cities that don't have much farming also directly benefit from summer break, as this break allows more opportunities for summer jobs programs.</p><p>An argument has emerged lately that year-round school would prevent juvenile crime because schools are the only places that make kids obey. This argument is ridiculous. People should think - not obey. The past 4 years have been filled with enough "obey, obey, obey" garbage to last a lifetime.</p><p>Iowa is actually being very equitable and progressive by protecting summer break, while much of Kentucky keeps doing everything that big corporations and the media demand.</p><p>The biggest issue these days may be the doublethink surrounding this matter. Many schools were closed for 2 years over COVID, yet those who endorsed these closures are usually the same people who demand year-round school the rest of the time. They support two contradictory ideas. They want schools closed when they should be open, yet they want schools open when they should be closed. We have seasons for a reason. Seasons are nature's way of saying what's intended and what isn't. Why do you think city pools are open in July but not January? For humor?</p><p>Perhaps it's time for Kentucky to join several other states in passing a law that says the school year can't start too early.</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-67470723254369023032024-02-02T10:01:00.004-05:002024-02-02T10:25:18.951-05:00Coney has it...your money, that is!Coney Island amusement park in Cincinnati was known for decades for amenities like Sunlite Pool, which the park claimed was the world's biggest recirculating swimming pool. It all came crashing down recently when the park was purchased by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, which announced it would tear down the park and replace it with a $118 million music venue. This is despite the fact that Cincinnati has plenty of music venues - many of which don't get much use as it is, because a lot of music acts won't come to Cincinnati because of past hostile actions against performers.<p>Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is plowing ahead with its plans while arrogantly ignoring the public outcry.</p><p>It's bad enough that this is allowed to take place. It's bad enough that they won't at least keep Sunlite Pool. But it gets worse! Imagine that! A group of business "leaders" is now demanding that the state of Ohio give Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra $20 million in taxpayer money for this dumb project. All for free. No strings attached.</p><p>So not only is a ridiculous, useless project that will destroy one of the region's most popular recreation sites moving forward. Not only is the resulting outcry being completely brushed aside. Taxpayers may also end up being robbed to pay for it.</p><p>It's like being forced to build your own coffin.</p>Bandithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01431205981803804882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636840023980636857.post-3281894030616700992024-02-01T19:03:00.003-05:002024-02-01T19:03:31.750-05:00More and more mask hysteria!The vigilantism, violence, and racism of forced maskers is described in my latest Substack entry, along with officials' digging in on mask mandates at weddings.
