Notes On Such A Time As This

 

*If European countries are too afraid of their rapidly growing Muslim populations to act in defense of their own interests—and that of the majority of their citizens-- as regards the world's greatest state sponsor of terror, Iran, they are already defeated. The only question is, have they willingly, treasonously, and knowingly surrendered, or are they tragically unaware of their own impending demise. My educated guess is the former. More’s the pity.

*I want to say something very clearly, and with great specificity: If today’s Democrats were in their same positions During World War II—and Donald Trump was the president—they would have unquestionably rooted for Japan, Germany, and Italy. Such is their rabid hatred of Trump. Had they been around in revolutionary times, they would have rooted for England. Had they been around during the Civil War, they would have rooted for the Confederacy. Oh, wait a minute, they actually were the Confederacy. Their evil knows no bounds. Or time constraints.

*Tucker (Hussein) Carlson (THC?) has gone nuts. Stark raving mad. He’s lost his mind. Or been threatened or bribed into becoming a cheerleader for Islam. No one was a bigger fan of his than I, when he was chronicling the George Floyd Riots in Minneapolis and the protest at the Capitol on Jan. 6. THC? Maybe Tucker isn’t just dealing in nicotine pouches. Maybe he has become a devotee’ of the THC products that now abound across the fruited plane.

*Did you enjoy “Tax Day?” Especially knowing that our taxes are going to pay for fake Somali “Learing” Centers, boob jobs for illegal aliens, and NGOs that launder and funnel money back to Democrats? Ponder this: the founders went to war with the greatest military on earth, in part over a tax on tea. It was a long and winding road, but the majority of Americans are now sheep. Tragic.

 

Virginia Gov. Spanberger Renders Her Own Constituents Moot

 

One of the Democratic Party’s rising stars, Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, recently signed bill HB965 into law awarding the state’s 13 presidential electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. Sorry, Virginians, your votes—your free will—don’t matter anymore. You are politically moot. Impotent.

The bill Spanberger signed adds Virginia to the growing National Popular Vote Compact, an agreement between blue states to award the entirety of their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. So, if Virginians vote for a Republican, but the Democrat wins the national popular vote, all 13 of the state’s electoral votes go to…the Democrat, of course!

 OMG. There goes the Constitution.  The Electoral College was specifically instituted so that populous states couldn’t ignore or run roughshod over less populated states.

The rest of the country will never be able to overcome the votes of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, and the Twin Cities, just for starters. It will be “game over,” Democrats win. Forever. As it is, even after a Democrat wins the presidency, we have been looking at election maps of the U.S., virtually all red except for a number of blue dots for the big inner cities. Spanberger’s actions, in Virginia of all places, home of Washington, Madison, Jefferson, and Patrick Henry…as well as many of our current ruling class…is particularly offensive.  

The National Popular Vote Compact is nothing less than yet another Democrat attempt to turn the United States into a one-party country, theirs, and a pure democracy instead of a representative republic, thus ensuring chaos, bitterness, and true oppression, of the big versus the little. And it is proof positive that they are anything but tolerant and inclusive.

“Yes, Virginians, there is a Havana Clause.” And your Marxist-loving Gov. Spanberger just signed it into law. Rendering your votes worthless and removing your free will. This act beggars description. It is utterly un-American. And they claim President Trump is a king.

Spanberger is acting like a queen. And a tyrant. And a bitch.

Speaking of the founders, Alexander Hamilton warned that a pure democracy, though enticing in theory, was “the most unstable” form of government-- and “violent in its death.” He also noted that ancient democracies were actually “tyranny” in disguise.

Democrats are generally no longer even disguising their desire for tyranny, though Spamberger did until the moment she was elected.

Sadly, there are no Washingtons, Madisons, Jeffersons, or Patrick Henrys left in Virginia.

 

 

MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+? WTH?!

 

An absurdly woke Canadian lawmaker (aren’t they all) recently used the acronym MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ during a press conference during which she condemned looming budget cuts to two departments dealing with Indigenous affairs. She smoothly and without pause recited those proudly represented by the 16-character acronym: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, the Two-Spirited, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual. The ever-growing acronym is now sixteen characters in length and they still need a plus sign, allegedly representing all other identities not included? What the hell?! This understandably flabbergasted sane people around the world, as evidenced by social media posts. (The video can be seen on Juno News.)

What other Identities are not yet included, other than straight, white, Christian, and cisgendered, which the MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ community will never allow to be included and will always marginalize? Perhaps mulatto, vegan, Virgo pedophiles born during a full moon? (MVVPFM.) Well, zowie, there’s another six characters right there! Come to think of it, the possibilities are endless! We might well soon be able to make a bleeping acronym the longest “word” in the English language, if a completely meaningless one!

Dear readers, please get to work. I’m sure you can come up with some Identities of your own to further augment MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. (Please keep them printable.) The world breathlessly awaits.

 

 

The (Lamentably) Political Pontiff

 

There is a great wall protecting Vatican City. The wall is 2-miles long and 39 feet tall. It is made of thick, solid brick. Pope Leo IV ordered the construction of the massive barrier to shield the city-state from invaders. It was deemed crucial to keeping invaders out.

But the fortification, stout as it is, isn’t stout enough to keep the staggering and repulsive hypocrisy emanating from Pope Leo XIV in. Ten Leos later, the current Pope, an American, has largely shunned Biblical teaching on morality, truth-- and other Biblical concerns—to verbally harass an American president by weighing in on political matters and clearly picking sides. Against that president. He is opposed to a wall on America’s southern border and does not believe the U.S. has a right to control immigration. (There’s your staggering hypocrisy.) Like the Pontiff before him, this leftist Leo clearly has a political agenda, one he thinks trumps any religious obligation he might have. The Holy See refused to join President Donald Trump’s proposed peace initiative, and has continued Vatican cooperation with Communist China, where state-approved bishops are now enforcing restrictions against unregistered Catholics. And state-approved surgeons are removing the organs of undead Uyghurs. Moreover, Leo XIV has approved sainthood for a bishop who admittedly slept with young men and engaged in disturbing acts with indigenous boys. And he has seen to the opening of a Muslim prayer room in the Vatican’s Apostolic Library. Which is apostasy, something that used to be frowned upon in the Christian religion, perhaps because the Biblical God stated “You shall have no other gods before me,“ and “Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.” But maybe Leo isn’t a fan of Exodus or Deuteronomy. Or the Bible. Maybe he is a cafeteria Catholic. Or maybe he is a closet Muslim. Or maybe he really doesn’t believe there’s a difference.

One thing he isn’t is a peerless moral authority. (Not that every Pope who came before him was a paragon of virtue either, as a handful of Popes “allegedly” engaged in orgies, assassinations, bribery, violence, worship of temporal power, the siring of illegitimate offspring, and assorted other “vices.” One even had the body of his predecessor exhumed, and, after a “trial,” had several of the corpse’s fingers cut off. Oh, and then the ex-Pope’s remains were tossed into the Tiber River. This kind of immorality eventually led to the Protestant Reformation.) 

Though the Trump administration-- and most Republicans-- fought against the baseless assault by the Obama-Biden administration on Catholic nuns, Catholics on school boards, in private businesses, the military, and those organizations being unfairly targeted by the IRS, etc., that apparently didn’t resonate with or mean much to this Pope.

Make no mistake: this Pope—and some of his cardinals-- have taken the side of illegal immigrants, including rapists, pedophiles, and murderers…as opposed to those who have been assaulted by them. That alone is disgusting and reprehensible. But wait, there’s more. So much more. Pope Leo XIV didn’t really have much to say about the Iranian mullahs and the IRGC murdering more than 40,000 of their own citizens in cold blood for daring to protest the regime. Or the hanging of people from light-posts. Or the butchering of them. He is, however, emphatically against the war that could potentially drive the mullahs from power and keep the madmen from acquiring nuclear weapons with which to “wipe Israel from the face of the earth” and “destroy the Great Satan,” the latter being you and I. Not sure the God of the Bible would approve.

And, mind-bogglingly, he had nothing really to say about the ongoing genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Even about the dozens upon dozens of men, women, and children who were slaughtered over Easter weekend while celebrating the Resurrection. Men, women, and children who were slaughtered by Mohammedans in various Christian communities and churches on the holiest weekend of the year. How is this possible?! Lord God, please help me to understand.

This Pope complies with the Chinese Communist Party’s demands and is all-in for Islam. Even though the Muslim Mahdi may well be the anti-Christ.

But, hey, if the anti-Christ is not Trump, how bad can he be?! Right, Leo?

We are in need of another resurrection. He is risen. Of that there is no doubt. He did so for us. Now we must rise above the earthly tomb of immorality in which we have so cavalierly placed ourselves.

One would hope the Pope would help us do so.

Well, there’s always the next one.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Says He Has Led The Charge Against Fraud In California

 

Per Townhall: “California Governor Gavin Newsom is seeking to take credit for ‘leading the charge’ against fraud in his state after Attorney General Rob Bonta held a press conference Thursday outlining efforts to investigate hospice fraud. However, after years of investigation, those efforts have resulted in just five arrests, a minuscule number compared to the scale of alleged fraud uncovered by others.”

Yes, surely Gavin Newsom can take his rightful place beside history’s other great reformers. Such as Adolf Hitler, who so bravely led the charge to stamp out anti-Semitism. And Tiger Woods, who has aggressively and consistently led the fight against driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Or Bill Clinton, who, almost alone, selflessly gave it his all to combat sexual harassment and rape culture.

Fraud is omnipresent. We all know that now. Much of our taxes are used to pay for illegals, illegal activity, and, ultimately, laundered and/or recycled to benefit the Democrat Party. (That fact in itself means that our elections are grossly tainted.) Gaslighting and projection are also ubiquitous. And lying is the lifeblood of most politicians. Has been for a very long time, indeed. But the kind of lies we have seen lately are virtually peerless in nature. They are neither extreme exaggerations nor little white lies. They are not lies of omission nor made out of concern for the feelings of others. They aren’t even good, old-fashioned bald-faced lies. They are monumental, in-your-face, could not possibly be any less true or any more opposite of reality lies. Lies that tell you that you did not see what you saw, do not know what you know, and that reality isn’t real. They are colossal, mother-of-all-lies lies.

So, somehow Gavin “Slick” Newsom “led the charge” against fraud in California. And Tampon Timmmy Walz implies that he has been anti-fraud all along and others have been late to the fraud fighting the party.

Bill Clinton essentially stated that whether or not he was lying depended on what the definition of “is” is. That seems almost quaint now. If he was in keeping with the tactics of today’s Democrats, he would have boldly asserted, “No one in the history of the world has ever fought longer and harder against sexual harassment, impropriety, infidelity, misogyny, and imbalance of power dynamics than I have.”

We need more Nick Shirleys. And fewer corrupt asshats who think we’ll believe anything. How do we achieve this goal? Strongly support the Nick Shirleys. And don’t vote for—or tolerate—the asshats.

 

 

 

 

 

A Sign Of......?

 

I live in the Midwest. While driving up to our cabin recently, I spotted a roadside billboard adjoining an urban highway sporting this message: “Dine local. End HIV.”

My first thought was, “What the bleeping bleep?!”

After I had a chance to ruminate on the message for a bit, I had a second thought-- which was, “What the bleeping bleep?!”

Am I not privy to some deep underlying meaning? Does it make perfect sense to others? To anyone else? I was almost afraid to pen this post, in case I actually am somehow oblivious to some great and grave coded message contained within those four words. I mean, I’m not trying to offend anybody, but this seems vaguely offensive to me…or any sentient being. To me, this is utterly non-sensical, the mother of all non-sequiturs. Akin to stating, “Look both ways before crossing the street. Save the whales.” What the hell?! But what do I know? Maybe if members of the LGBTQ Community eat at establishments more far flung they are more likely to engage in riskier, unprotected casual sex with a greater number of fellow LGBTQ diners? This makes less than no sense to me, but, again, I could be wrong.

Could I be, though?

Is this some sort of a sign of the times…or possibly a sign of the End Times?

I guess we’ll just have to say that this is a puzzler and leave it at that.

Anyway, “Don’t drive drunk. Climate justice is human justice.”

Or whatever. What the bleep.

 

Why Were Students Happier In The 1980s?

 

There is a general consensus that schoolkids were happier in the 1980s than they are today. Significantly so. Why were students (and people in general) happier in the 1980s?! Why were the rates of depression, mental illness, and suicidal thought so much lower than they are today?

For one thing, “educators” didn't teach kids to hate their own country and their own race, and that religion, save Islam, is a farce. Oh, and they didn't routinely try to have sex with them or convince them to switch out their genitalia. I’m guessing that might have had something to do with it. Combine that with the preposterous indoctrination that colleges and universities subject them to, and the embarrassing agenda-first (as well as last, and only) conduct of the mainstream fake news media, and you have a toxic mix that would make nearly anyone want to take advantage of medical-assistance-in-dying (MAID).

But wait, that’s not all! The more recent predominance of computers, cell phones, smart phones, social media, the internet-- and now Artificial Intelligence (AI)-- has vastly degraded peoples’ contentment, privacy, dignity, attention spans, self-esteem, and ability to be happily independent. In the ‘80s, kids still went outside to play…with other kids. Without multiple cameras and helicopter parents monitoring their every move. Today, most look into a screen to be electronically stimulated and amused, to the tune of many hours each and every day. Biking, exploring, and hide-and-seek have largely been replaced by sheltering in place and exploring the internet. To say that this has deleterious effects on children, and consequently the nation, is an understatement.

Today, many younger folks do not even wish to have children, because they have been told that climate change and other inevitable calamities will make doing so hard on them—and devastating to the planet.

In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan confidently strode forth and told us that it “was morning in America.” He told us that we could do anything we set our minds to do. “After all,” he said, “we are Americans.” It is no wonder that kids were more confident, folks were happier, and the music was more upbeat.

Despite being a very different personality, to put it mildly, President Trump has said essentially the same things. But the usual suspects have been joined by the rogue, run amok judiciary, as well as an ever-increasing number of utterly unhinged individuals, to try to sabotage Trump’s administration as they did his last one.

Ronald Reagan set the tone and the table for the Awesome Eighties. His work also paved the way for the prosperous Nineties. On more than one occasion he stated, appropriating the lyrics of a 1970s Canadian rock band’s song, “you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Well, we’ve seen a lot since then. Not much of it good. Canada has apparently decided to medically assist itself in dying, and much of the rest of the world has gone crazy.

We in the United States were granted a reprieve, given a rebirth with the election of Ronald Reagan and the onset of the eighties. And there are ties to today. Remember, our hostages, kept for 444 days of the Carter administration, were promptly released on the very day Reagan was inaugurated.

No wonder we were happy. It was morning in America. Conversely, during the Obama-Biden Era, it was mourning in America.

Let us hope that President Trump can somehow return us to those halcyon days, or an approximation thereof, despite the staggering array of evil aligned against him.

 

The U.S. Should No Longer Reflexively Pay For And Protect All Of Western Civilization

 

The United States has to be done paying for everything and everyone in the rest of the world.

We have to go back to the founder’s vision of not entangling ourselves in foreign conflicts, unless it is clearly, absolutely in our best and vital interest to do so. This is not a criticism of the decision to attack Iran, per se’. Any reasonable person can see that there could be great benefit to knocking out or laying low a nation with Iran's destructive capabilities, a nation that has made it clear for almost half a century that it would love nothing more than to kill the Great Satan.

But the United States must re-examine its role in NATO, which heretofore has been to pay for everything and protect everybody else in the organization. That imbalance cannot long work for any nation, the United States included. It is also deeply unfair, unjust, and detrimental to the European nations themselves. Just as a complete and utter long-term reliance on welfare destroys an individual’s motivation—and soul. It is, in a word, immoral. And, if we are being truthful, it is likely part of the reason Europe is as sadly enervated as it now is. Europe would be better off if it was able to defend itself. After all, it has a population much greater than that of the United States and a GDP many, many times greater than that of Russia. That it can't, or hasn't, seen to its own defense is a pathetic travesty. When countries have the mindset of what they can't do, and what they shouldn't do, and self-flagellate, they become treasonous to their own citizens and worthless to everyone else. Call it the Dominion Syndrome. You have formally proud entities like the UK and Canada that are now nothing more than national versions of an unemployed, non-binary, non-viable tissue mass with blue hair and a nose ring.

The UN, which adores American dollars and is mostly funded by them, despises everything else American, and should be kicked out of New York. It is not rational to pay people to hate you, either on the part of the haters or the “hatees” to coin a word. Every culture that has ever lived until now has realized that obvious truism, just as they were eminently able to tell a man from a woman. Emasculated nations are not a good thing, not advanced, not progressive. They are useless at best and dangerous nearly always.

America has been the most generous country in the history of the world, and there is no runner up-- whether in money or blood. How many Americans have died for the freedoms of others? How many from other nations have died for the freedoms of Americans? It is about damn time we Americans were sick to death of this double standard. The other nations, in which it is so fashionable to trash America and Americans, simply and pathetically illustrate their envy and jealousy.

Too many European nations seem to think that, for some reason, the United States needs to protect them with its lives and lucre. Yet, if and when the US asks for their cooperation, they deny us use of the very military bases that we paid for and that they wanted on their soil for their protection. That is an insane level of ingratitude and entitlement.

It is high time we put a stop to it. For everyone’s sake.

On Trump, Iran, A "Ceasefire," And War

 

Trump supporters may not like this post. But I have always prided myself on telling the truth as I have been given to see it. Whereas I have generally supported President Trump I as regards the Iranian war, and in nearly all other matters in general, I am concerned he may have set himself up for disappointment, if not failure, with his recent actions…and words.

I have no doubt he is a master negotiator. He has proven that time and again over the years. But continually (VERY) publicly asserting/bragging that you are clobbering your enemy in a virtually unprecedented manner, particularly a deranged one like those who control Iran, is almost certain to make them even more determined to save face. Subsequently stating that you will end their civilization in a fiery hell if they don’t agree to your demands actually dramatically limits the choices you have to garner public support and get the enemy to comply with your desires. I don’t believe Trump ever truly planned to wipe Iran off the face of the earth and all of her people with it. Therefore, in so asserting, he narrowed his options down to two: following through on that vow and looking to people around the world like a monster or allowing his deranged detractors to say he “chickened out” again. He should never have provided them the opportunity to do so with any possible justification.

I don’t usually subscribe to conventional wisdom. In fact, I often loathe it. But there is no doubt that allowing your enemies to surrender with some sort of “dignity” is the surest way to get them to surrender. Even when they don’t deserve to have any dignity at all. Victory—winning—must be the main objective, especially when your nation hasn’t won a clearcut military victory in over 80 years.

None of us truly know what has happened behind the scenes. And there is no doubt the asshats rooting for Iran here in America haven’t helped things. I hope Trump didn’t himself take an “off ramp” due to anti-war pressure and sentiment here in the U.S.

But there is one thing we do know: Iran is extremely unlikely to tell the truth…or abide by any agreement, ceasefire, truce, or treaty. Which it proved by launching missiles at Israel and claiming it alone controls the Strait of Hormuz and may demand a toll fee to pass through it immediately after the ceasefire announcement. “Taqiyah” is a feature of Islam, a concept essentially declaring that any deception or lie that favors Islam is acceptable. Therefore, it is well nigh impossible to take any Muslim dictator or leaders at his or their word. Or should be.

And there is another thing we know: the Iranian people, who Trump himself called “great,” deserve better. This makes the end result even more problematic.

Instead of painting ourselves into a corner, we should have simply done one of two things: kept fighting until we finished the job, or declared our military objectives attained and ended Epic Fury and gone home. Iran knows it is likely to outlast Americans’ tolerance for this war, and that it only has to still exist in two weeks, a month, or a year to be able to rightly declare itself the winner. That is why an endeavor such as this is so daunting. And putting ground troops in a Muslim nation has proven problematic at best and is guaranteed to lead to significant American casualties.

So, where do we stand now? If Iran continues to act up, as seems likely, the President has to be willing to follow up this “ceasefire” with enough force, fortitude, and moxie to finish the job. I hope the powers that be have war-gamed this and have an ace or two up their sleeves. We—and the world—may well need it.

 

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Calls For President Trump To Be Ousted From Office

 

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called President Donald Trump an "unhinged lunatic" in a Monday post on X, and lobbied for him to be thrown out of office via use of the 25^th Amendment. Omar stated of Trump’s profanity-laden Easter post threatening Iraq, "This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove. This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.” The far-left lawmaker posted those remarks while sharing a screenshot of the president's controversial Easter Sunday Truth Social post in which he threatened to target Iranian power plants and bridges and bomb Iran back into the Stone Age. Trump’s Truth Social post also considerately advised whatever is left of Iranian leadership to “Open the f*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” (Referring to the Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world’s oil normally flows, though not a significant amount of oil to America.)

Memo to Ilhan: Trump is trying to achieve America’s goals, one of which is seeing to it that Iran can’t launch nuclear weapons at America or her protectorates. He is simultaneously trying to alleviate the staggering amount of fraud, deception, and theft of taxpayer dollars that you yourself have worked so hard to engender and protect.

And he is defending Americans against a pseudo-religion that advocates converting, enslaving, or killing “infidels,” meaning anyone and everyone that doesn’t wholeheartedly believe in and support a “religion” founded by a 50-year-old guy who married a 6-year-old, but waited until his “wife” was 9-years-old before consummating the marriage.

Also, he didn’t marry his brother.

Who is nuts? Who is immoral?

You should be sentenced…and deported. Praise be to Allah.
