The Real Aunt Jemima Died Twice
One might say that she died one more time since 1923 with the power and hyper-sensitivity of the USA's cancel culture. The brand "Aunt Jemima" has been forever discontinued since June 2021. Stupid Liberals won, sheesh.
😕😟😑😐
A great woman erased from history by idiots. The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this beautiful woman existed. What a shame. The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story. She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark. Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago. She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel was assigned to keep the crowds moving. Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans. She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. This was a remarkable woman, and sadly she has been ERASED by politics. I wanted you to know and remind you in this cancel culture time period. (from Facebook )

Inclusive M&M Candy Characters
M&M Candy Characters Are Becoming ‘Inclusive’ by The Daily Wire
The green M&M will lose her stiletto boots.
The beloved M&M characters are becoming more “inclusive” with several changes that are subtle but noticeable.
Mars Wrigley, which owns M&Ms, announced on Thursday a “global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is inclusive.”

The green M&M character will lose her peach-colored legs and stiletto boots in favor of white legs and sneakers after criticism that the character was sexualized. Mars said it wanted the green M&M to be “better represented to reflect confidence and empowerment, as a strong female, and known for much more than her boots.”
The brown M&M will have her heels lowered to a “professional height.” In a Q&A on the company’s website for each character, her character says she is “not bossy, just the boss.”
Meanwhile, the green and brown M&Ms will no longer have a rivalry but will now be “together throwing shine and not shade.”
The anxious orange M&M, who Mars says is “one of the most relatable characters with Gen-Z, the most anxious generation,” previously had his shoes untied, but will now have them tied.
The red M&M, an outspoken character sometimes interpreted as bullying the other M&Ms, will start being more kind to his fellow candy characters.
The new versions of the characters will roll out online this week and will start appearing on M&M’s packaging later this year.
The changes are meant to increase a “sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025,” according to Mars.
“M&M’s has long been committed to creating colorful fun for all, and this purpose serves as a more concrete commitment to what we’ve always believed as a brand: that everyone has the right to enjoy moments of happiness, and fun is the most powerful way to help people feel that they belong,” said Cathryn Sleight, Mars Wrigley’s chief growth officer.
Many classic brands have opted to change their logos in recent years to be more politically correct.
Mars also owns Ben’s Original rice, previously known as Uncle Ben’s. The company changed the brand’s name and removed the image of a smiling, elderly African-American man from its packaging in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd.
Aunt Jemima also altered its logo in 2020 to remove the image of Aunt Jemima, an African-American woman. Quaker Oats said at the time that the company recognizes that “Aunt Jemima’s origins are based on a racial stereotype.”
Land O’Lakes butter changed its packaging in 2020 to eliminate the image of a Native American woman, which had been criticized as a racist stereotype, but that move was controversial within the Native American community, some saying the image fostered empowerment and cultural pride.
Meanwhile, the debate over racially insensitive school and sports team mascots have been ongoing for the last several years. The Cleveland Indians, the Kansas City Chiefs, the “Washington Football Team” formerly known as the Redskins, and the Atlanta Braves have all either changed their logos and mascots or cracked down on fan behavior at games, such as wearing headdresses or face paint.

Democrat's Next Target: Your Stove!
Dems want No guns, No meat-eating, No borders; your baby can be killed at your convenience, Illegals come first, and now this --no cooking except on what they deem an acceptable appliance. And I had just recently installed my beautiful gas stove, for Pete's sake!!
The Next Target
in the Democrat's Climate-Change Power Grab: Your Stove
Dozens of cities in liberal-leaning states such as California, Washington, and Massachusetts are studying proposals to ban or limit the use of natural gas in commercial and residential buildings. The movement opens a new front in the fight against climate change that could affect everything from heating systems in skyscrapers to stoves in suburban homes.
Berkeley, California, in July became the first U.S. city to pass an ordinance banning gas systems in new buildings, and it may soon be followed by many others, according to interviews with local officials, activists and industry groups. Los Angeles and Seattle are among those considering laws that could drastically reduce natural gas consumption.
“Berkeley is the opening salvo,” said Bruce Nilles, managing director of think tank Rocky Mountain Institute’s building electrification program.
Local officials and environmentalists cite mounting evidence that unburned gas leaking from pipes and compressor stations harms the climate more than carbon dioxide, the byproduct of burned fossil fuels.
Many environmentalists until recently considered natural gas a “bridge fuel” to a future of renewable energy because gas burns cleaner than oil or coal. Now local officials are stepping into what they call a federal regulatory void under the administration of President Donald Trump, who argues fossil-fuel restrictions needlessly damage the economy.
They want buildings switched to electric power from a grid that is increasingly powered by renewable energy. U.S. utilities currently derive about 35% of their electricity from gas but have also nearly doubled their use of renewable fuels in the past decade, from 9% to 17% of all power, according to the EIA.
Residential and commercial buildings account for about 12% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. They are also crucial to natural gas sales: Direct gas consumption amounted to about 8.45 trillion cubic feet in 2018, rivaling the 10.63 tcf used by utilities to power the grid, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
If gas bans in buildings become widespread, they could upend the business models of some of the world’s biggest energy companies, which are investing billions of dollars to produce and ship more natural gas on the belief the fuel will play a key role in the transition to a cleaner energy economy.
Big gas producers including Exxon Mobil, Shell, and BP, argue gas improves the environment by replacing dirtier fuels such as coal.
Natural gas companies alarmed by the trend are pushing back with ad campaigns and research promoting gas as a superior cooking fuel and an affordable option in a country that has become the world’s top gas producer.
“We are trying to get ahead of it,” said Stuart Saulters, the Director of Government Affairs of the American Public Gas Association. “We think there is a chance this can domino.”
The American Petroleum Institute, which represents the U.S. oil-and-gas industry, rejects claims that natural gas is bad for the environment, arguing its increased use has helped cut U.S. carbon emissions. Spokesman Reid Porter said that the industry is also limiting methane emissions with improved leak-prevention technology, citing DATA from the Environmental Protection Agency showing a decline in recent years.
LOS ANGELES, SEATTLE, MINNEAPOLIS RETHINK NATURAL GAS
Nilles, of the Rocky Mountain Institute, said some 50 California municipalities are studying new limits on natural gas in buildings, including Silicon Valley-area cities such as Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and San Jose, the nation’s 10th most populous city. Los Angeles set a goal in April of powering all its buildings with renewable energy by 2050, starting with new buildings by 2030.
San Luis Obispo last week became the second city, after Berkeley, to pass a law limiting gas installations in new buildings. Kate Harrison, the Berkeley council member who spearheaded the city’s gas ban, said she has been contacted by dozens of cities studying similar measures in states including Massachusetts and Minnesota.
Officials in the Boston suburb of Brookline, for instance, will vote in November on a measure to ban gas hookups in new buildings. In Minnesota, three-quarters of the state’s residential heating – largely fueled by gas – would have to convert to electricity to meet the state’s goal of an 80% carbon emissions reduction by 2050, according to a report by the McKnight Foundation, a philanthropic organization.
New York City in April also passed a bill requiring buildings of more than 25,000 square feet to cut greenhouse emissions 40% by 2030 – a standard expected to reduce natural gas use.
Seattle City Council Member Mike O’Brien is working on legislation to ban gas hookups in new buildings. The fuel, he said, “is odorless and invisible but has a huge impact on the climate.”
HOT SHOWERS AND CRACKLING FIRES
The American Public Gas Association’s ad campaign is aimed at 25- to 44-year-old homeowners with incomes of more than $75,000, according to a slide presentation about it seen by Reuters. It features Facebook and Instagram ads showing people enjoying hot showers, cooking on gas stoves and relaxing by a firepit. Campaign director Saulters said it was one of the group’s most expensive promotional efforts to date, without disclosing its cost.
In July, a group called Californians for Balanced Energy Solutions – formed by Sempra Energy unit SoCal Gas – held a press conference with Southern California restaurant owners who favor gas stoves.
“We need instant, really strong fire,” said Charles Lu, the owner of a Chinese restaurant chain who participated in the event. “Otherwise, I think it will kill the business.”
Wealthier homeowners may also resist electrification of kitchens and fireplaces, according to Nic Dunfee of environmental consulting firm TRC Companies Inc, who oversees an incentive program to rebuild homes in wildfire-stricken Sonoma County. Builders are pushing back on proposed mandates for electric stoves, he said at a recent meeting of California energy regulators.
“They don’t feel that they are able to sell a home that doesn’t have natural-gas cooking,” he said.

Oberlin College & the University of Alabama: Will Recent Huge Legal & Monetary Losses Shut Them Down?
In the News: LIBERALS who intimidate, bully, terrorize, attack, cajole, and "bribe" to get their way. What else is new?! It's Goliath versus David over and over again.
I am happy to report that in neither of the following two situations did Libs get their way. Yay! Dang, this feels so just. Hoorah, hoorah for the little guy!!!!!

The lawsuit stems from an incident on Nov. 9, 2016, in which a black Oberlin student tried to “steal or otherwise illegally obtain” wine from Gibson’s, according to the complaint. Following the incident, Allyn Gibson, who is white, and an owner and employee at Gibson’s Bros. Inc, which operates Gibson’s Food Mart and Bakery, pursued and “engaged in a physical altercation” with the student, according to the court’s summary judgment. The student and two friends, who are also black, were arrested.
After the black students were arrested, student protests erupted, claiming that the robbery charge and physical conflict were racially motivated. Protesters urged patrons to shop elsewhere.
The students pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in August, 2017, reading statements into the record that Mr. Gibson was within his rights to detain the robber and that the conflict was not racially motivated.

Gibson’s Bros. Inc, as well as its owners and employees David Gibson and Allyn Gibson, brought a lawsuit against both Oberlin College and Vice President and Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo, alleging libel and accusing the school of supporting the students’ actions against Gibson’s and cutting economic ties with the bakery.The jury ... ruled in favor of Gibson’s, finding the college and its dean of students guilty for the libel of both Gibsons and their bakery. It found only the college guilty of inflicting emotional distress on both David and Allyn Gibson. Additionally, the jurors found Ms. Raimondo responsible for interference of business relationships. The jury set compensatory damages for Gibson’s at $11 million. -- Toledo Blade

Nine months ago, a Florida real estate mogul’s pledge to donate $26.5 million to the University of Alabama — the most generous gift in the school’s 188-year history — was announced with great enthusiasm and fanfare. On Friday, the money he had given so far — some $21.5 million — was unceremoniously returned via wire transfer and a campus work crew was removing the businessman’s name from the law school that had been named in his honor.

The unanimous vote Friday morning by the board of trustees to return the money that Hugh F. Culverhouse Jr., the real estate executive, had already given to the university was a bitter and dramatic conclusion to a relationship that included a dispute over how the money should be spent and a call to boycott the state school system because of a recently passed law that essentially bans abortions in Alabama...
Read the NY Times article in full H E R EBut in the end, the dispute between the university and Mr. Culverhouse became a public and politicized controversy over the state’s new abortion law, with Mr. Culverhouse holding the passage of the sweeping measure against a law school that had nothing to do with it. It also became a prime example of how the recent wave of anti-abortion policies passed in the South has sucked observers on the sidelines into the controversy. - NY Times

Earth Day: How to "Save" the Planet Earth
5 Things Environmentalists Have Tried To Help ‘Save the Planet’ - Tim Pearce, Western Journal
Uhmmmm ... the Liberal foolishness continues. Emphasis in article, mine. - RRE
(This is beyond tragic ...)
Uhmmmm ... the Liberal foolishness continues. Emphasis in article, mine. - RRE
Environmentalists sometimes propose radical solutions to save the world from global warming — a disaster some say will destroy almost all life on Earth if not dealt with quickly and radically.

In honor of Earth Day on April 22, The Daily Caller News Foundation compiled a list of solutions suggested or tried, largely unsuccessfully, by environmentalists to roll back the effects of global warming.
Stop Cows from Eating Grass
Grass fed beef cattle are destroying the environment while putting off large amounts of methane just by digesting food. People need to cut back on the amount of cattle they raise and beef they eat to lessen the severe impact raising cattle is having on the environment, according to Tara Garnett of the University of Oxford’s Food Climate Research Network.
“Sadly, though it would be nice if the pro-grazers were right, they aren’t,” Garnett said in 2017, according to the New Scientist. “The truth is, we cannot eat as much meat as we like and save the planet.”
If We Can’t Stop Cows from Eating Grass, Let’s Just Stop Cows from Farting So Much
Scientists have developed “fartpacks” for cattle to wear, capturing the animals’ methane emissions before they are released out in to the environment. The backpacks capture cows’ methane through a tube inserted into the animals’ stomachs, The Daily Mail reported.
Capturing cows’ methane not only fights climate change from keeping the gas from entering the environment, but the gas can then be converted into energy. A cow emits enough gas in a day to — after being converted into usable energy — power a car for the same amount of time.
Don’t Have Kids, or at Least Have Less of Them
Having children is one of the worst things humans have done to further climate change and bring the world closer to irreparable harm, the Independent reported.
Children produce “an average of 58.6 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions per year,” according to Swedish researchers from Lund University.
“A U.S. family who chooses to have one fewer child would provide the same level of emissions reductions as 684 teenagers who choose to adopt comprehensive recycling for the rest of their lives,” the researchers’ 2017 study stated.
These Totally Unrealistic Yet Absolutely Necessary Climate Change Solutions from a Scientist
Peter Wadhams, head of the Polar Ocean Physics Group at the University of Cambridge, authored a book in 2017 outlining several radical steps possibly necessary to save the planet from climate change, Wired reported.
- Use giant vacuums to suck all the greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.
- Use giant hoses to pump massive amounts of ocean water into the sky, creating clouds filled with salt crystals to reflect the sun’s heat back into space and stop it from getting trapped in Earth’s atmosphere.
- Filling the sky with other crystals, such as sulfuric acid or sulfur dioxide, to provide the same kind of cover and produce the same effect as the salt clouds.
- Launching a giant mirror into space to orbit the Earth and, again, reflect the sun’s powerful rays.

Beat Climate Change to the Punch — Set Yourself on Fire
A 60-year-old lawyer and activist committed a “protest suicide” April 14 (2018) by setting himself on fire. He was attempting to draw attention to the affects of climate change and inspire action against it.
“Most humans on the planet now breathe air made unhealthy by fossil fuels, and many die early deaths as a result — my early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves,” the man wrote in a note found next to his blackened bones.
“I am David Buckel, and I just killed myself by fire as a protest suicide. I apologize to you for the mess,” he added.

Video: Male Hairstylist Fired for Kicking Female ProLifer
Ponder This:
A. Is this wicked guy's actions the fruit of the hateful rhetoric of Democrat, Maxine Waters? B. The Right (I consider Canadian pro-lifers as Right-leaning) have been accused of being ProLife but not ProBirth -- oh, really?!!
BTW, I admire these young women. They were willing to publicly declare their love and support of unborn babies.
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. - Deuteronomy 30: 19,20

HL Mencken & Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Nomination
If I were asked if I paid close enough attention to the deets and legalese of the hearing so that I could explain it all, I would have to say NO. It dragged on for 3.5 days, for pete's sake!
Here's what I *did* come away with:
Honorable Judge Brett Kavanaugh was given the ABA's (American Bar Association) unanimous, highest rating. He has had many years of experience. He is likeable, unflappable, and has vast legal knowledge. In spite of this, many/most Democrats are still not convinced. They claim that we as a country would be regressing. They would have us believe that Mr K is dangerous, unfair and closed-minded. Even young kids in quivering voices came to testify of their fears coming true if Judge K's nomination were approved. And who could count the many loud interruptions by anti-K protesters in the audience to show us how serious and believable their claims? These on top of Senator Cory Bookers theatrics and the thinly-veiled threats and disdain of Senator Kamala Harris had me shaking my head in utter disgust.
Further observations:
- I learned that Senator Cory Booker has never married
- IMO, Senator Patrick Leahy needs to retire
- Senators on the Committee need to be reminded that they might be put on camera while eating their lunches.
- I was very impressed with Judge K's coolness under fire. If he ever quits his day job, he'd make a fine airplane/fighter Pilot.
