Quick Hits Part One

Biden's demented brain confabulates a new retcon: he claims he "literally convinced" the segregationist Strom Thurmond to vote in favor of the Civil Rights Act.

Even among Biden's innumerable lies, this one sets a new standard for mendacity, as every detail of it is false: the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, eight and a half years before Biden entered the Senate, Thurmond voted against it, and the segregationist senator didn't die until nearly forty years later. Is it the dementia? Or is it just Joe being Joe? It's increasingly hard to tell the difference.

Biden sounded even feebler than usual as he spoke to the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "Pause for just a moment," Old Joe began weakly. "I thought things had changed." He was reiterating his false and destructive claim that America in 2023 is beset by a systemic racism that only socialism and forced redistribution of wealth can cure.

Sounding as if he were on the brink of collapse, he summoned the strength to go on: "I was able to -- literally, not figuratively -- talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the, the Civil Rights Act before he died. And I thought, 'Well, maybe there's real progress.' But hate never dies, it just hides. It hides under the rocks." How does someone "figuratively" convince someone else to do something? But never mind, that's the least of the problems with Old Joe's latest ramble.

The Civil Rights Act passed the Senate by a 73 to 27 vote on June 19, 1964. Thurmond and other Southern Democrat senators (Thurmond would later become a Republican) made up twenty of the 27 dissenting votes. Old Joe Biden wouldn't enter the Senate until Jan. 3, 1973. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, Biden was enjoying the summer before his senior year at the University of Delaware. There is no indication that Young Joe, 21 years old at the time, knew Strom Thurmond or spoke with him about the Civil Rights Act.

Meanwhile, the spree criminal and foreign operative Hunter Biden is "downsizing" due to China and Burisma not sending him $100,000 every month, and moving into a very small, very modest $15,800 per month Malibu beach mansion.

Hunter Biden, who is embroiled in a tenuous legal position, reportedly downsized to a $15,800 a month ocean view Malibu home, a substantial cut back from his previous $20,000 a month California residence.

While the national average rental price is just north of $2,000 a month, Hunter Biden, the first family's business rainmaker, pays $15,800 a month for a beautiful residence on the Pacific Ocean, the Daily Mail reported.

Hunter Biden's new home is a three-bed, three-bath compound with panoramic sea views, built on a cliff in a gated community. The rental's listing calculates the home's square footage to be 2,500, with an estimated value of over $4 million.

The property's listing describes it as having "mesmerizing ocean views that are the ultimate backdrop for dining alfresco or stargazing over the shimmering Pacific" and a "vastly open floor plan, beautiful wood-beamed ceilings and large windows that give the illusion of being fully immersed and in total harmony with nature."

The house also boasts a luxurious kitchen and a "guest studio with private balcony overlooking the ocean that creates the perfect artistic space."

Oh right he does "art" now. And his main patrons just happen to be wealthy Democrat donors and Chinese businessmen.

Someone Failed to Position Kamala Harris for Success again:

A Gen Zer is shocked to learn that adults are expected to work in exchange for the wages they then use to sustain themselves.

Gen Zer In Their First Internship Can't 'Fathom' Working For The Rest Of Their Life -- 'I'm Just Supposed To Do This Forever 'Cause I Need Money?'

...

In a now-deleted post to the subreddit r/LateStageCapitalism, one young person expressed their extreme dissatisfaction with what their future held.
A Gen Zer in her first internship can't 'fathom' having to work for the rest of her life.

The short yet not entirely simple answer to her existential question is, well... yes. The Gen Zer's commentary was reposted on the Twitter account "F---k You I Quit," who state in their bio, "The labor market is a mess. Here to show you why. Highlighting workers' conflict with poor management, corporate greed, bad business, and the economy."

The Gen Zer posed the question, "Any other gen z workers finding it impossible to fathom the rest of our lives like this?" They went on to explain their harrowing experience, stating, "In the midst of my first internship and I cannot believe generation after generation has been doing this bulls--t work and it is fine with it."

"I sat sobbing at my laptop today trying to write some blog post about federal funding that was assigned to me today, doing the most boring s---t of all time that drains me of all my energy and has zapped my passion for writing, and I'm just supposed to do this forever with a smile on my face 'cause I need money?" She continued.

"F---k each and every person who made this system and keeps it upright and acts like they're happy about it, too," she went on. "I'm also a full-time waitress at two restaurants and I want to be an artist and a writer but nothing that fills my cup or makes me happy will ever pay the bills."

The young person vocalized a harsh truth that tends to surface as we grow older and join the workforce: Having a job is often exhausting and unfulfilling.

"I feel so pissed off at the world right now and even though I know not [every day] will feel this bad, I also can't help but fear it's going to get worse as I have to pay for more things to survive and this bulls---t job will be all I can rely on," she said. "I hate it here."
