How to reach the youth market, and it
really is so much simpler (and cheaper)
than going woke

The companies are trying to tell the kids that they get them. They see that LGBTQ is trendy… so they wrap themselves in rainbows and market tucking panties to children. (Snip) However, one American brand recently reached the youth market … quite accidentally. They did it by producing an attractive, quality product … at an affordable price. With zero social media presence, and no virtue-signaling. General Motors recently announced their sales figures for 2023. Buried in the mountain of data was a fascinating statistic. Of all the GM nameplates, the nameplate with the highest sales rate amongst 16-34 year olds is the new gas-powered, Buick Envista.

Comments:

Affordable price, cool styling, and a gasoline-powered engine.

"Affordable price, cool styling, and a gasoline-powered engine." Made in China. Assembled in Mexico. Not your daddy's Buick...

FTA: "Could it really be as simple as putting out an attractive product at an attractive price? Buick’s sales figures are screaming that this is a definite possibility' Unsurprisingly.....it works every time it is tried. But the Idiots In Charge are very resistant to this sort of a marketing.....not enough "sales hype", which is how too many of their brains work.

After checking several places, apparently the Envista really is made in China #3. A communist car for a communist generation.

The Biden cabal is forcing auto makers to go EV with the unattainable fuel economy ratings they have foisted upon them--- and us, the consumer--whether we want it or not.

Getting Hot Out There in Election Fraud Land 9 replies
Posted by Judy W. 3/21/2024 10:50:08 AM Post Reply
Is Arizona going to the Supreme Court? The Court is rumoured to want an election fraud case. It can’t ignore this very much longer. (Snip) These people, the forces on the now-bonkers left, devised their successful program in 2002 with four billionaires, and for twenty years they have been accruing power, building their system straight out to fraud and selling out to the cartels and WEFers. At some point along the way, the power they built went haywire and began to eat the culture. What that has triggered is a tsunami of citizen activism. Not the astroturf of the corporate left or international socialist left, but the real thing.

In Praise of Ties 16 replies
Posted by Judy W. 3/20/2024 9:41:47 AM Post Reply
The first thing I notice when I watch a black-and-white TV show on one of the rerun networks is the ties. In the 1950s, every man wore a tie. The milkman wore a tie. The mailman wore a tie. The policeman wore a tie. Even Elvis wore a tie on occasion. Chuck Berry always wore a tie. Gas station attendants wore them. (Snip) Men wore ties to ballgames because men were civilized. Ties were important because they gave a sense of authority but ties also showed that a man wants to belong in society. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.”

I spent my childhood studying extreme emotional states. My mother, an amateur athlete who won tennis and golf championships into her 60’s, a gifted pianist, beautiful, solidly educated, well read, funny, had reality breaks. I, her eldest child and only daughter, learned how to subvert them. (Snip) But I refuse to engage with the hopelessness they, and many, (most?) people feel. I’ve seen how it ends. Even lefties think the midterms were stolen. Even in my town at the end of the hippie trail, people are saying, “What happened? Do you know? Do you understand? I thought….???” Even they could see the absolute f*up the Dems have created.

The Left is so predictable that I can tell you with complete accuracy how they will respond to a Black conservative’s candidate. On cue, without missing a beat, the day after Mark Robinson won the Republican primary for governor in North Carolina, the vicious press, putting in overtime, went to work. Advertisement Nine of 10 articles that you would encounter on Mark Robinson were complete hit jobs, taking his words and phrases out of context. The same was true on the internet. Google, among the most evil companies that has ever appeared on Earth, with their oh-so-mysterious algorithms, made sure that nothing good was said in links
Checkmating DoJ and Jack Smith 21 replies

This week all eyes were on the Willis-Wade fiasco in Fulton County, Georgia, but three less smuttily scintillating cases seem at last to be limiting the overreach of the Department of Justice respecting the J6 defendants and Jack Smith’s persecution of President Donald Trump. In interpreting criminal statutes, it seems to me that Courts should not be creative and expansively read into them things that the legislature which writes the laws did not clearly proscribe as illegal, and it appears that finally, courts higher than the highly partisan D.C. Circuit judges understand that.

This below is migrant camp infrastructure at the border in Panama. There are scores of these all along the border, all through Mexico, Central America, the southern U.S. and Panama. You know what? They are building more, they are maxing out the infrastructure three or four times. (Snip)All across the southern states, there are warehouses filled with migrants. A decommissioned Walmart warehouse near Houston holds 1,500 migrant boys. There are dozens of those all through the U.S. The migrants are mostly military-aged men. This is an invasion. And they are coming to kill us, one way or another, according to the most experienced and committed reporter on the scene,
Turning Putin into Conan 3 replies
Posted by Judy W. 2/29/2024 10:05:06 AM Post Reply
In the film versions of the Conan franchise there is a very simple beginning to the legend of the Cimmerian barbarian in Robert E.Howard’s epic imagining of the ultimate Alpha Male. Conan’s story begins in peace, with the young child Conan living in an obscure village far from the centers of civilization and power. His family have a history of battle behind them, and it’s clear his people know how to fight, but Conan’s early experiences are of uninterrupted peace. (Snip) Until the civilized world comes calling. Robert E. Howard had a very definite sense of what civilization was, and it wasn’t a flattering view.
Why Children Need Risk, Fear, and Excitement

We parents are caught in a paradox. We desperately want to keep our children safe and ensure their success. We are also often terrified that they will get hurt and that they will fail—so we do everything we can to prevent that from happening. Yet many of those very efforts to manage our fears have paradoxically reduced our children’s safety and their odds of success. For over two decades, I have researched children’s development, injury prevention, and outdoor risky play. I have learned that when we prioritize children’s play(especially the kind of play that involves some risk and lack of supervision) and the freedom to play how they choose,

Two weeks ago, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., got an email from a recently married man who learned his 36-year-old wife couldn’t have children shortly after she got her second COVID-19 shot. (Snip) Johnson’s forum—titled “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?” and held in the Senate Russell Office Building—featured a roundtable discussion including 22 testimonials from scientists, medical doctors, former government officials, and journalists (Snip). The cover-ups involving both the origins of COVID-19 in China and adverse effects of the vaccines likely are linked to protecting the bioweapons industry, contended Dr. Harvey Risch, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health

The Supreme Court will not throw Donald Trump off the ballot through some sort of deus ex MSNBCmachina, and Trump’s polls are improving while President Crusty’s are getting worse, so we face the real possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidency. Obviously, it’s not a done deal, but it is a bigger possibility than it used to be. Well, the Democrats are facing it, and now they’re trying to figure out how to stop him from taking office if and when he wins the election. This is a really bad idea. But of course, the Democrat Party is the Party of Bad Ideas, and the Party of Nanny Fascism.

A TikTok influencer is advising his followers on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties. Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told his followers that under US law, 'if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it'. He is referring to squatter's rights, or adverse possession laws - a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner's consent.

EL PASO, Texas — A group of over 100 migrants attempting to enter the US illegally rushed a border wall Thursday, breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the process. The Post witnessed around 600 migrants amassed at the international border on the Mexican side, who the Texas National Guard were attempting to push back in small groups amid a ‘spring surge’ of migrants arriving to the southern border hoping to get asylum in the US. The situation grew tense as women and children were separated from adult males and video shows the migrants then crying out for help and rushing to the border gate

Engoron wrote: Based on the Court's findings in its February 16th Order, the Court ordered the continued monitoring of Defendants' financial and accounting practices and disclosures, including and enhanced role for the Monitor, for a period of no less than three years, as well as

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) has reportedly told his colleagues to oppose the idea of term limits, which aligns with his past public statements. A report from Axios said two sources indicated McConnell told Senate Republicans that “imposing term limits on the Senate leader is a bad idea during a Wednesday meeting about the direction of the conference”: McConnell was one of several senators who spoke during an hour-and-a-half conference meeting, which was called by conservative Sen.

An academic group, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), obtained some alarming data. In over 200,000 cases, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the proper paperwork with immigration courts in Houston, Texas and Miami, Florida. The illegal aliens were issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) at the border, which creates a court date. However, DHS never filed the paperwork with the court. The asylum process can't move forward without filing the proper paperwork with the court. The court date rolls around and the asylum-seeker shows up. The judge doesn't have the paperwork so the case is dismissed.

A White House valet who was with former president Donald Trump on the day Congress certified his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden told the House January 6 select committee that Mr Trump threatened then-vice president Mike Pence’s future political viability in a phone call just before Mr Pence was to preside over a joint session of Congress to count electoral college ballots. According to a transcript of the interview of the unnamed White House valet, the valet overheard Mr Trump telling Mr Pence: “Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this” as the two men spoke by phone while Mr Trump was in the Oval Office.

The US has issued a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council calling for the immediate cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that would be connected to the release of hostages, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday evening. “We’re pressing for an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of hostages. That would bring immediate relief to so many people who are suffering in Gaza – the children, the women, the men,” Blinken told Saudi media outlet Al Hadath.
