Mis and Dis

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

George Washington once confessed, “I cannot tell a lie father, I chopped down the cherry tree.”  Or did he?

Multiple checks on Al Gore’s internet this AM seem to universally debunk the claim calling it a myth.  Apparently, someone fibbed telling you as a child about old wooden tooth slave-owning first prez George.  Except they called it a myth.

Fast forward two hundred years to the early 70s and another president took it a step further. “I am not a crook,” said crook Richard Milhouse Nixon.  That was no myth.  That was a big fib at a minimum, or a flat-out lie if you prefer.

Joe Biden’s first bid for the American presidency ended abruptly. In his closing remarks at a Democratic primary debate, he lifted passages from one of Brit Neil Kinnock’s most moving speeches without attribution. The resulting plagiarism “scandal” sank Biden’s campaign.  He wasn’t lying, he was just cheating.

Bill Clinton was cheating.  ” I did not have sex with that woman,” he shrilled with intense eyes.  He upped the entire game.  He lied about cheating.

All of those scoundrels and scandals paved the way for today’s “misinformation” and “disinformation.”  It’s hard to distinguish between the two and who is missing and dissing.

For the record, misinformation is false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.  Disinformation is false information that is intended to mislead, especially propaganda issued by a government organization to the media. 

Got that?  Sounds like it’s hard to tell a lie from a lie.  That’s because it is.

America is now being told myths, fibs, lies, misinformed, and disinformed daily.

Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, United States Secretary of Homeland Security, said under oath this week,  “Let me be clear.  Our border is not open!”

Mask on, mask off.  They work, they don’t.  Bill deBlasio liked them so much that he recommended two at a time.

Vaccines work.  Get more.  Get more than two boosters.

Karine Jean Claude Pepe Von Damme Pierre stood before the press yesterday and reminded us, “Kids have lost so much in the pandemic.  This is why when the president walked in, he made it a priority to open schools.”   She redefines the word falsehood every time she steps before the mike.

Then the President really did walk into a presser and said that his economic plan is working.  “We’re building an economy that works from the bottom up and the middle out.”  Whatever that means.  “Inflation is down.  Jobs are plentiful.”

At least those little white lies(not a big fat whopper) were his own words this time.

He forgot to mention that the stock market is down, interest rates are up, real wages are down, and a recession looms.

We call those ommissions, not lies nor plagiarism.

 

 

 

 

Finish the Job!

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

It’s a year and a half until the November 2024 Presidential Election.  Yet, one of the two parties has already put the hay in the barn.  The other is searching for a pitchfork.

In a carefully choreographed way, the Democrats hitched their wagon to current President Joe Biden.  They want it to be all happy trails before he himself rides into the sunset.

Late last week the Dems announced that there would be no debates within the party whether that meant on stage or not.  Apparently, they can’t count on another pandemic to keep Joe off of the stage so they eliminated the need.

Characters like cowboy Bernie Sanders got the message, complied, and likely got another ranch bought and paid for. The Wells Fargo Bank stagecoach will make only one stop and that’s in Delaware.

Meanwhile, it’s the wild wild west on the Republican side and the battle hasn’t even begun on the movie set yet.  But, behind the scenes, nothing is OK at the corral.

The party is fractured.  There are the MAGA folks firmly behind Trump who is quick on the draw.  And, there are the non-Trump folks firmly behind whomever he winds up stepping off against inside of the party.

Team Trump is likely busy thinking up nicknames for Noem and Haley.  They already labeled Ron DeSantis as Ron DeSanctimonious. Also under consideration are “Meatball Ron” and “Tiny D,” we kid not.

The GOP debates will likely be haymakers a la 2015-6.  Why wouldn’t they be?  They’ll beat each other up while Biden rests at the beach house.

The contrast between the two parties is stark in governing philosophy and campaign strategy.

The Dems have a president that has low marks across the political surveyed board.  He’s there for the taking. He’s old now and will be a very old 86 by the time he would leave the White House after a second term.

But, they’ll make the race anti-Trump and anti-Republicans.  And, they aren’t good at it, they are great at it.

One lies and the other swears to it.  Daily.

The anti-Trump weapons are numerous and have already inflicted many wounds.  Also, Trump suffers self-inflicted wounds.  Weekly.

Abortion(now called women’s health), misogyny, racism, billionaires, transphobia, social security, Ukraine, and many other bullets are loaded in their guns aimed at the Grand Old Party.  And, they’re the ones firmly against guns- for sure another plank on the platform so carefully rehearsed and well played.

Biden’s campaign jingle is “Finish the Job!”  He told us so yesterday.  He also said our democracy is at stake.  Then, one by one, Hillary, Obama, Kamala, Schumer, Jeffries, and others spread the word.

Today, MSNBC, USA Today, The View, NBC, CBS, ABC, THE NYT, and CNN will parrot it.  Where is Tucker when you need him?

It’s a long time till 11/24 and a lot will transpire.

For now, the Republicans look like they are shooting themselves in the foot trying to circle the wagons.

 

 

Ten Piece Nuggets

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

Spring is in the air.  It reminds us of spring chickens.  Spring chickens remind us of nuggets.  Ten are waiting for you below.

  1.  Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls for regulating conservative news.   She opined on Sunday’s MSNBC, “When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence. Very clearly.”  Free speech and the First Amendment say otherwise.
  2. Say what you want about Ted Cruz, but every January when the new Senate convenes he puts forth a bill calling for strict term limits.  And every January it finds the round file in the corner of the room.  AOC on one end and Mitch McConnell on the other are two prime examples of why term limits would help us all.
  3. It won’t happen until the American public demands it though.  You can’t get 60% of Congress to agree on anything much less eliminate their job(cash cow).
  4. A poll revealed on NBC”s Meet the Depressed that voters are depressed having Uncle Joe in the White House four days a week and in Delaware three.  53% of Biden’s 2020 voters say he shouldn’t run again in 2024, and a whopping 75% of Biden voters under 35 think likewise. Will Joe Biden be the weakest incumbent president running for re-election in any of our lives?
  5. “Stunning he didn’t get a major primary challenger,” says Clay Travis.  Or, is it?  “Stunning that he got 81 million votes” is more like it.  Not stunning is that he and his handlers will do anything to minimize his exposure to questions, debates, news conferences, etc.  The basement awaits.  Time to order up another pandemic if you are a conspiracy theorist.
  6. Travis was on a roll on the weekend.  Another tweet,  “DC public schools are requiring all students and staff to provide a negative covid test in order to return to school after spring break. These people are batshit insane. Covid broke whatever functional brains they had.”
  7. That tweet reminded us of watching Morning Joe about three years ago.  They interviewed visionary Bill DeBlasio in the middle of the covid paranoia.  He suggested that we all wear two masks. He really did.  Maybe he was educated at the aforementioned DC public schools?
  8. “Today proves yet again that you can’t buy class but you can buy a blue check mark,” said Dan Rather.  We wonder if Dan knows that his salary was paid by those watching him by watching ads every five minutes.  Multiple sites believe that Rather’s net worth is north of 70 million.  You’d think he could afford the $8 bucks a month.  Or maybe he could just stop complaining while you’re still tweeting without it.
  9. Alyssa Milano wonders with the blue check removal, “Does that mean Twitter and @elonmusk are liable for defamation or identity theft or fraud?”  The DC public schools must have been very crowded.
  10. Exxon Mobil isn’t going all in on green just yet.  Near the Gulf Coast just east of Texas’ oil-rich Permian Basin, nearly 2,000 ExxonMobil contractors are making sure the company’s latest project – which includes 26 miles of piping, 35 miles of electrical wiring, and 875 tons of steel is pumping oil at full capacity.  Fill er up.

And we hope that you are filled up after the nuggets.

You’ll Get Nothing and Like It.

If you put 100 red ants and 100 black ants in a jar they peacefully coexist.  If you shake the jar they fight each other till death.

This sounds a lot like America today.  Who is shaking our jar?

Power-hungry politicians and click-hungry social media types come to mind.  Together they’ve told us repeatedly why their side or opinion is the only way and by the tens of millions we’ve followed like sheep to a shepherd.

The examples are plentiful.  Here is a simple one delivered yesterday.  It comes via tweet courtesy of the Minority Leader of the House, Hakeem Jeffries.

“More than 50 million Americans are food insecure.  President Biden and the Dems are working hard to address the hunger crisis.  Extreme MAGA Republicans are doing the exact opposite.”

Let’s break this down.

  1.  Do you really believe that more than 50 million Americans are food insecure, formerly known as hungry?  There are about 330 million of us, not counting the illegals that walk across unfettered.  That’s 15% or about one in six.  Unemployment is historically low at 3.5%.
  2.  Do you really believe that President Biden and Dems are working hard to address this crisis?  What are they doing exactly?  We see no bread lines, nor should we.  What’s the plan?
  3. It must be very hard work seeing as Biden has been in government since Moses parted the Red Sea.  Can we get a chicken in every pot already?
  4. We never ask for personal accountability because stupidity and dependency are the recipes to getting reelected, not cooking food.
  5. “Extreme” was a word that must have tested well when added to MAGA.  Joe Biden tossed it out about a year ago.  It used to be that MAGA folks were considered extreme.  Now we apparently have extreme extreme MAGA folks.  The great unifier he says he is.
  6. These extremists are doing the exact opposite.  Hmm.  That means that they are working hard to make sure 50 million people stay hungry.  How do you do that?  Does anyone really believe that?
  7. Predictably, thousands and thousands of tweeters lined up to share their two cents (with inflation that means about one cent now) about this carefully crafted Jefferies tweet.  Our guess is 50% think Jeffries is great, and 50% think he’s talking out of his hat again.

And, that’s how it works if you call that working.  Divide to conquer.  Ask for more money(we love when they call it resources) to throw at a “problem.”

Next thing you know they’ll tell you that the oceans are rising.  Let’s put more “resources” against it before lightning strikes this summer and causes a forest fire of all things.  Damn, hurricanes will be here before you know it as well.  Happens every year.

We’re picking on Jeffries, but we could pick on oodles of these mangy poodles.  He’s the leader of the minority party that represents nearly one-half of one-third of the three most important branches of government arguably in the world.  And, in that very important position, he lies daily for a living.

The Republicans get no pass here either.  Doesn’t it feel like all but one uni party?  It does because it is.

The biggest problem America has isn’t a lack of food.

It’s a lack of the basic understanding that you are an ant(maybe red, maybe black) in a jar that is being shaken daily.

 

Limbo

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

How low can you go?

Limbo got its start as a traditional dance contest on the Caribbean island of Trinidad.

But, here recently, it looks like the contest has moved to the U.S.   And, it looks like the bar is being lowered at an accelerated pace in an uncontested manner.

People from many walks of life and responsibilities are playing.  The wonder is if their responsibilities combined with their sensibility, or lack thereof, has us dancing to a new unpleasant tune.

Take for example Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson.  Downtown Chitown was taken over Saturday night by hundreds of teen thugs smashing windows, jumping on occupied cars, pulling drivers out to fist fight, etc, etc. He ever so briefly condemned the violence of the teen mob before lashing out at those criticizing the criminals.

“It is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities,”  he said.  How does he know where they are from?

And, whose fault is that?  The community?  The city?  The parents?  Or, is it just now normally accepted behavior to commit a crime without fear of retribution?  Barrack Obama, who hails from Chicago himself, told us that “elections have consequences.”

Maybe it’s the fault of the road construction crew on the very roads that they disrupted.  Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg told Al Sharpton on MSNBC Sunday that “the way roads are designed and built makes minorities a lot more likely to die in car crashes and pedestrian vehicular crashes.”  The Reverend Al even looked speechless for once.

A Washington State bill that would strip parents’ rights to intervene in their kid’s medical care in certain circumstances passed the House Wednesday, clearing its pathway to be signed by Gov. Jay Inslee.

“An act relating to supporting youth,” or Senate Bill 5599, allows host homes for runaway youth “to house youth without parental permission.” Furthermore, the host homes do not need to notify parents about where their kids are or if they are getting medical interventions.  The “protected health care services” included “gender-affirming care.”

It’s “relating to” as long as you are not “related to.”

“Supporting youth” sounds so helpful.  Next thing you know we’ll have a “sounds so helpful” Inflation Reduction Act that adds trillions to the nation’s debt so that pet green projects can continue to be fed.

So to recap, your parents can go to jail for child neglect if you aren’t fed.  It’s the law.  But they have no right to know where you are when other adults know where you are and what medicines you are prescribed.  It’s a new law.

As a minor you aren’t old enough to drive.  But you can stomp on a car’s hood and hit the driver in the face.  You wouldn’t want to drive on those racist roads until Mayor Pete fixes their prejudice anyway.

You can’t vote.  But you can elect to cut off your body parts to change your identity.

You have no choice but to attend school.  But, you can beat your teacher up especially if the state-funded drag queen performer falls short of your expectations.

In some Christian beliefs, limbo is an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution.  The Catholics used to call it Purgatory.  Maybe you get to push the up button on the elevator to Heaven, or maybe you push the down button to Hell.  Time will tell.

Maybe we can do away with Hell soon, too?

Maybe.

But this doesn’t feel like Heaven on Earth right now.

How low will we go?

 

M-M-M Good

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

Stodgy old Campbell’s Soup Company is missing a great opportunity to reconnect its brand and its market share-challenged Alphabet Soup recipe to today’s generation.

One simple call to Dylan Mulvaney’s agent could do it.   Don’t lead.  Follow nike and Bud Light.  Dylan has put those two brands front and center this week.

One Mulvaney commercial can take the alpha right out of the can of letters.  It’s a sure bet.

Another sure bet is the effective strategic drive by people that are either labeled left, progressive, woke, fair-minded, and most of all inclusive to unrelentingly bring the letter T up to par with the letters L, G, and B is on.  Whether you agree or disagree, make no mistake about it-it’s on.  And, “they” are very good marketers.

Shoot six people in Nashville.  Make sure they label “they” who did it correctly.  Throw a Trans Vengeance Day. Hooray.  Drag queen shows are good for children.

It’s never too early for gender reassignment surgery.  Recruiting gets younger and younger in all sports these days.  Heck, men can even swim against women now.

You can’t spell mainstream without the “T.”

But, here’s another sure bet.  While the non-progressives are spending time and energy showing their outrage over this phenomenon another is on the way.  You just don’t see it yet.

Next in line is the letter Q and it feels left out of the party.   Who is “Q?”  The most trusted name in news, CNN, has the answer.  “The Q can stand for “questioning” — as in still exploring one’s sexuality — or “queer,” or sometimes both,” writes the trusted leader.

It’s the most inclusive letter of all.  Still seeking answers, no problem.  We can all identify with that.  You identify that you don’t yet identify.

So, if you feel left out of what you don’t know you are being left out of we have your back.  Oh, and we want your vote.

Don’t think for a second that those stodgy old Republicans that still eat Alphabet Soup give a darn about you.  You can see this coming in the election cycle in 2024 like a derailed train in East Palestine, OH.

Don’t trust BBR?  Ask federally funded National Public Radio (NPR).  They feel left out too.  They actually had to cut some staff last week.  They aren’t the first journalism type biz to face the music, are they?

And, now the horror of horrors has occurred.  Elon Musk and Twitter labeled them as “state-affiliated media.”  John Lansing, NPR’s president and CEO, called it “unacceptable for Twitter to label us this way.”

It sounds like they might not know who they are either.  Should they be called NPRQ going forward?

There has to be a supply chain shortage of letters around the corner.

2024 is going to be m-m-m good!

Hard Time(s)

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

Yesterday, the fickle folks perusing Al Gore’s internet spent a good bit of the day debating if the King of Beers had become the beer of queens.

Meanwhile, one borough over from Queens, DA Alvin Bragg was in Manhattan attempting to put another nail in the former king’s coffin.

Donald Trump was arranged in NY in a court that looked like the kangaroo kind.  Predictably, people from all walks of life and both sides of the political spectrum had an opinion regardless of how little they understood the system and the facts or fiction surrounding the charges or lack of same.

Fox News commissioned a fairly in-depth poll asking whether the former president should be indicted.  A very significant majority of 60% thought that he should.  Seventy-two percent thought that the legal process was politically motivated.  A whopping 52 % thought that Bragg was very politically motivated.

To summarize, well over half of the US wants Trump to go down and knows that it’s very dirty politics driving him there.  That is scary regardless of your political bent.

Once upon a time Lady Justice was blind.  Yesterday the blindfold was lifted and the curtain on the circus went up.

George Soros promised a million bucks to his campaign if he’d promise to indict Trump.  Promise kept.  DA Bragg did what two of his predecessors refused to do.

Meanwhile, stuff that was important, not stuff that the media talked about all day ad nausea, was unfolding.

In the Tarheel state of North Carolina, a Democrat congresswoman is expected to flip to the Republican Party as early as today.  This one move will give the elephants a veto-proof majority in the houses to neuter the power of their Democrat Governor.

Chicago gave the heave-ho to Mayor Lightfoot weeks ago.  She watched crime spiral out of control, dissed the police, and supported reduced charges or nonprosecution of criminals on her watch.  Chicago elected her replacement last night.  He despises the police, believes them to be racially motivated, and supports reduced or eliminated charges.  Sound familiar?

Wisconsin turned a state Supreme Court 4-3 deficit into a 4-3 liberal majority in an election that will soon lead to sweeping changes.  Strict abortion laws there will go away like so many unborn children.  Election voting laws will no longer be laws.

Dems outworked, out-strategized, and outspent the RNC in Wisconsin.

McDonald’s closed its US offices for a couple of days as major layoffs were conveyed.  Is Ronald McDonald safe?  Hopefully.  The GOP should do the same at the RNC.  Is Ronna McDaniel safe?  Hopefully not.

Florida got redder in the last election.  Chicago is now bluer through and through except when it comes to supporting cops.  North Carolina is purplish but trending red.  In Wisconsin, we’ll need to wait for the snow to melt to see, but from here it looks like the purple is fading into a brand-new hue of blue.

In short, more states are digging in.

Toss Trump in jail regardless of the accuracy of the crimes or severity thereof.  The hell with fighting crime.  My body my choice, unless it’s jab time.  No voter ID, no problem.

Meanwhile, China and Russia are getting awfully cozy.  Oil, once pumping like crazy in the US is going to get way more expensive soon.  Chickens are on strike and eggs have security devices on them at the local grocer.

We’re more divided now than ever.  We care less and less about the rule of law and justice.  Are we headed deeper and deeper into that abyss?

Where is our leader who promised to be the Great Unifier?

Last week he was consoling the fine citizens of Rolling Rock Rolling Stone Rolling Fork Mississippi.

This week?  The ice cream shop?

Don’t we need to make America great again?

It’s hard to do if you’re doing hard time.

 

 

 

 

 

Fools Two Days Ago

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

One of our senior editors fell asleep on the job Saturday.  As a result, the news that may or not be true was not able to be published until this morning.

Not to worry, BBR is a caring organization.  We gave our editor a raise and a pat on the back for a nice try and give you the somewhat late, but still worthy news of note.

Elon Musk announced that the $7/month cost for blue check mark verification would indeed start on April 1st.  Additionally, he announced that beginning May 1 conservatives that subscribe will be paid $7 a month for red check mark verifications citing a need for diversity.  The New York Times said it is now identifying as a conservative organization.

Phillip Morris International owns the Marlboro cigarette brand.  They’re joining M&M Mars and Disney in their efforts to welcome one and welcome all.  PMI announced Saturday that the Marlboro Man campaign has been replaced and new commercials will feature a Marlboro They person.

Joe Biden flew in and sympathized with the citizens of tornado-ravaged Rolling Fork, Mississippi.  He promised that the federal government would do all that it could to help “Rolling Stone” rebuild. He went on to say that April’s Fool Day has always been one of his very favorite days of the year.

Kamala Harris unexpectedly extended her African trip by a day to head out on a safari trip.   On it, she asked guides if lions were female tigers.

St. Peter did his job at the pearly gates.  He told Audrey Hale to “go to hell.”  Alexandria Ocassio Cortez has asked the Department of Justice to open an investigation of St. Peter for a possible hate speech crime.

Mitch McConnell asked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to begin drafting articles of impeachment against Donald Trump for early 2025 in the unlikely event that he gets elected.

A San Francisco City Council member asked the other members in a meeting if reparations should be considered for all citizens, not just Black ones.  “We embrace and celebrate equality and inclusion in our great city.  To leave out anyone would be against our values,” he/him said.   A vote will be taken next week.

In Oregon drag kings are suing the state for unfair hiring practices.  “Drag queens are getting all of the jobs in our state-funded schools,” a king spokesperson shrieked.  “We only want what is flair, I mean fair,” he concluded.

One other bit of news of note is only a day late.  A freight train derailed in Paradise, Montana, on Sunday.  The train derailed on the banks of the Clark Fork River.  Some of the cars spilled into the river.  Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, criticized for taking too long to get to the East Palestine, Ohio derailment, contemplated peddling his bike from DC to assess the situation.  Instead, he chartered a private jet and got two tickets to Paradise.

Somewhere Eddie Money is shaking his head over all of this.

 

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go

Posted on by thependulumswings staff

In 1972 the US government passed legislation known as Title IX abolishing discriminatory differential treatment based on sex in federally funded high school and college education.

It opened, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

By 1979 this ruling started to creep and then roar into college sports participation.  By the mid-1980s over 400 men’s sports programs were eliminated, an unintended but direct result in order to achieve compliance.

The “why” is simple.  Women’s sports on campus are money drains.  In fact, most sports programs are.  If you add new money drains you have to reduce existing money drains.

Colleges make a lot of money each fall on men’s football, some do on men’s basketball, a scant few do on men’s baseball, and then they hold on for dear life as the other programs drain the positive cash flow to zero.

Men’s scholarships went to women’s scholarships.  Equality has a price.

Now men are going into women’s sports.  Fifty years after Title IX gender identification has a price.

At its January 19, 2022 meeting, the NCAA Board of Governors updated the transgender student-athlete participation policy governing college sports.

The resulting sport-by-sport approach preserves the opportunity for transgender student-athletes while balancing fairness, inclusion, and safety for all who compete.

How do you balance fairness?  You don’t.  Males that choose to wear a women’s bathing suit swim faster than females.  Fact.  Period.  End of story.

Participation is scant as of now.  But, like the southern border, once you announce an open door people walk/run in.

What isn’t shocking is that women transitioning haven’t attempted to enter male sports.  We all know why.  It’s the opposite sentence of the swimsuit one above.

What is shocking is the relative silence of the feminist community, women’s rights groups, etc.  What it took forever to balance is now being undone.

Why oh why aren’t more biological females coming to rescue themselves from the want to be women?  A few speak out, but fear in today’s society about not being politically correct (some call it woke) outweighs calling a male a male.

Cancel culture is the great equalizer.  It’s stronger than all of the Title IX words combined.

The aforementioned updated participation policy has three phases.  Each phase lowers the bar for participation.

And, unfortunately, this will phase out the real competition and marginalize that which many have rightfully fought so hard to get.

Some people that shouldn’t now get to participate and win.

Others actually don’t want participation ribbons and no longer have a chance at winning.

 

Nothing to See Here.

The bodies of the six victims in yesterday’s Nashville Christian School shooting hadn’t even cooled down yet before the rapidly evolving and bickering US public began throwing haymakers assigning blame for this latest senseless loss of life.

Using “hadn’t even cooled down yet” to describe the deceased would have been looked at as a macabre way of writing just a decade or so back.  But, in today’s desensitized and divided world, it’s just another keystroke or 24.

And, therein might lie the root of our problems.  We can see almost anything live thanks to cameras and streaming video everywhere, jump on our favorite social media platform and comment, lie in wait for the side that opposes us to counterpunch, then remark in horror that “they” could be so insensitive to our way of thinking.

Three years ago during those early coronavirus times, every dumb commercial told us that we were “all in this together” and this was our “new normal.”

Well, we’ve all always been in this together and our new normal is the same as it has always been.  It is what we as a society are willing to accept or encourage.

We accepted the two weeks to break the curve and jabbed a vaccine that did little good.  Now we are learning that it might have done us more harm than good.

Some are still wearing a mask.  Normal?

For years now we have fed the homeless, clothed the homeless, and on cold nights sheltered the homeless.  Prez Biden should whisper, “folks, we have a mental health problem, no joke!”   A few cities even put some up in hotels and charge the taxpayer.  That’ll solve it.

We video fistfights in an attempt to be the first to post them on Instagram.  Why would you attempt to break it up before someone gets seriously hurt when likes and clicks are at stake?  You can’t pray in the classroom but you can video your teacher having to go a few rounds with an aggressive student.

We see countless numbers of videos of in-store mob thefts, see store employees trained to let the culprits go, and have DAs from coast to coast that won’t charge anyone for crimes.  Society’s inaction encourages more of this behavior.  And, more we will get.

We accept that people want their own pronouns.  It’s now “normal” for two genders to have 44 different pronouns.

Some even identify as various animals.  Sounds fine.    No attention seekers.  No mental disorders.  Nothing to see here.

Last week Jane Fonda went on national TV and encouraged people to kill Christians.  Yesterday it happened.   Was that why this happened?

CNN spent half of the day trying to figure out which pronouns to use to describe the sick one that killed six someones.   All 1,459 of their viewers deserve accurate reporting.  This is CNN!

The trans community was supposed to hold a Trans Vengeance Day this weekend.  One started early.

Many pointed out that Tennessee has taken a strong stance against development-blocking meds and early gender reassignment surgery.  Was that why this happened?

He/she/they/them and all of us are wrong when complying.

After his afternoon nap and some drivel about his favorite ice cream, Joe Biden asked Congress to pass that important assault weapon ban bill all over again.  Remember, it’s the guns that kill, not the mentality that we embrace and accept of the shooters that kill people.

We yearn for the good old days of orange-dyed hair, tattoos from head to toe, gauges in lobes, piercings galore, war protests, social injustice, CHAZ, and mostly peaceful protests(but not J6).

One bright spot is that VP Kamala Harris is in Africa this week.  She’s searching the globe to find the root cause of the immigration crisis facing our southern border.

She does identify as she doesn’t she?
