IT’S COME TO THIS: In New Disney Star Wars Series, Force Produces Kids via Lesbian Witches.
Disney’s destruction of the “Star Wars” franchise has reached peak demolition with its new series, “The Acolyte.”
In the past, Disney has created “Star Wars” shows that are woke, incoherent or girl-bossy, with the exception of early seasons of “The Mandalorian” and “Andor.” But the “House of Mouse” has straight-up lost its mind with this new series, released on June 4th.
The first two episodes of “The Acolyte,” set long before the Republic crumbled and the Empire took over, premiered last week. The opening episodes fulfilled Hollywood diversity quotas while rolling out a murder mystery in which Jedi are killed by a mysterious woman with force powers.
In episode one, “Lost,” a former Padawan named Osha (Amandla Stenberg) is arrested as the likely suspect. By episode two, “Revenge/Justice,” the Jedi realize that the murderer is actually Osha’s evil twin sister, Mae (also played by Stenberg).
Last night, Disney premiered episode three, “Destiny,” which revealed the twins’ back story. It’s in this new episode that the series went off the rails. It turns out that Osha and Mae were created and birthed by two lesbian witches, Mother Aniseya (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Mother Koril (Margarita Levieva). As the lesbian couple tells each other:
Koril: I carried them.
Aniseya: I created them.
In this galactic feminist fantasy, lesbians don’t need a man to make a baby.
Perhaps still reeling from the savage “Put a chick in it, make her gay, make it lame!” critique from South Park last year, Kathleen Kennedy has taken that formula to its logical conclusion.

MAYBE HE DIDN’T KNOW THERE’S A LAW AGAINST THAT: Travis County Assistant DA Arrested For Aggravated Assault With A Deadly Weapon. “So here’s a 51 year old Assistant DA, who’s worked in the DA’s office for 17 years, he lives in an apartment with a roommate, and his idea of entertainment for a visiting guest is to stream pornography. Which he evidently has trouble viewing, so he demands his roommate help fix the issue.”
I HOPE THIS IS CLEAR ENOUGH: NO. Garland Demands an End to ‘Attacks’ on the DOJ.

GOODER AND HARDER, CALIFORNIA: California Gas Prices to Go from Bad to Worse as Dems Move to Tighten Environmental Regulations.
California Democrats are planning to send the state’s astronomical gasoline prices soaring even higher by strengthening a pair of decade-old climate policies.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB), whose most senior members are appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom, is considering amending two regulations — the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) and the cap-and-trade program — to help the state meet its carbon-reduction goals. But in the process, gas taxes will increase significantly over the next two years and beyond.
Gas prices could increase by as much as 47 cents per gallon by 2025 and by 52 cents by 2026, according to CARB’s September 2023 report on the potential impact of the proposed LCFS amendments. Gas taxes could surge by as much as $1.15 per gallon on average from 2031 to 2046, hitting a peak of $1.83 in 2041. California drivers currently pay about 12 cents per gallon in additional gas taxes because of the LCFS program, per the report’s projections.

21st CENTURY HEADLINES: AI Beauty Pageant Judge: There’s A Lack Of Diversity & Inclusion Amongst Contestants.
Disclaimer: Not a single woman seen in this post is a real human. NOT ONE. These biological AI females are FAKE. Don’t you dare come after me if one of these fake chicks takes all your money via Venmo or some other cash app. You’ve been warned.
Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let’s get down to business here: this post is about a Miss AI beauty pageant.
It’s believed that this is the very first time 10 completely fake women have battled it out for fake beauty bragging rights and there’s already drama building.
A real-life AI pageant judge, Sally-Ann Fawcett (she’s a real human who has judged some of the biggest real pageants in the world) told National Public Radio that there aren’t enough flawed contestants.
But of course.

VLADIMIR PUTIN’S FOREIGN POLICY CUNNING CONTINUES TO PAY DIVIDENDS: Armenian leader announces plan to leave Russia-dominated security alliance as ties with Moscow sour.
Amid the widening rift with Russia, Armenia earlier froze its participation in the alliance, canceled its involvement in joint military drills and snubbed CSTO summits.
On Wednesday, Pashinyan said for the first time that Armenia will leave CSTO altogether during a question-and-answer session in parliament, saying that the government will decide later when to make the final move. There was no immediate comment from Russian authorities.
Armenia’s ties with Russia, its longtime sponsor and ally, have grown increasingly strained after Azerbaijan waged a lightning military campaign in September to take the Karabakh region, ending three decades of ethnic Armenian separatist rule there.
Putin — that great defender of Christian civilization — pretty much sold out Christian Armenia to Muslim Azerbaijan during the most recent crisis between the two countries, leading to ethnic cleansing in Azeri-occupied parts of Armenia. Whether that was due to Russia being bogged down in Ukraine or Putin not wanting to offend Russia’s growing Muslim population (or both) is anyone’s guess.
FLASHBACK: An untraditional war: We can’t stop ISIL-inspired massacres if we deny we’re fighting Islam’s jihadist strain. “The thing is, proposals such as gun control are basically peacetime remedies, which don’t apply in time of war. But traditional wartime remedies might not work, either, because this is not a traditional war. . . . There were warning signs with the San Bernardino shooters, whose neighbors reportedly didn’t want to call the cops for fear of being thought racist. And there were warning signs with Mateen, who apparently had been on security officials’ radar screen for some time but not enough to do anything about it. Classmates of Nidal Hassan said he regularly spouted Islamist propaganda months before he shot up Fort Hood, but the military was too politically correct to do anything and afterward tried for some time to pretend that his deliberate, jihadist attack was merely ‘workplace violence.'”

JIM TREACHER: Hunter Biden Is Just Full of Surprises. (And, of course, drugs):
Well, whaddaya know? I figured the fix was in.
But no, Hunter Biden was actually found guilty of a crime. In a courtroom. With a judge and jury and lawyers and everything. The court said, “Yeah, we know you’re the president’s son, and good for you, but we’ve looked at all the evidence and you definitely did the thing you’re accused of doing.”
Joe Biden’s presidency really is historic!
And unlike Donald Trump’s felony conviction, you can actually explain to people in 25 words or less what Hunter did wrong.
It’s also a satisfying result after that shady plea deal Hunter tried to make last year. I’m no lawyer, but it sounded like he basically wanted a Get Out of Jail Free card and the judge wouldn’t play along.
A child of privilege, a wealthy white male, has been reminded that the law applies to him too. If only he were a Republican, so our friends in the media could enjoy it too.
Instead, they’re busy pumping out sob stories about how distraught Joe Biden is. You see, the story is actually about a father’s love for his son.

UNEXPECTEDLY: In-N-Out burgers are about to cost you more – but only in California.
In-N-Out has put up its prices – blaming them on the $20-an-hour minimum wage was introduced in its home state of California.
It now mean’s its famous Double-Double with fries and a drink is typically more than $10 in the state’s 275 restaurants.
When the new rule took efect on April 1, In-N-Out president Lynsi Snyder said she had blocked major prices rises to protect cutomers
‘I was sitting in VP meetings going toe-to-toe saying, ‘We can’t raise the prices that much, we can’t,’ Snyder told Today during an interview.
They can’t sell at a loss, either.
