Aching Breaking Broken News: Arghhhhhhhh! Right in our faces and before Christmas, too, a perfect example of why nobody should support a specific political party. No thanks to the Republicans (we already know where the Democrats stand on securing potential voters from the swamp of illegals) President Trump's border wall appears all but dead. He should have followed through and shut the government down, but instead he apparently caved to his party fossils and the conglomerate of self-serving bastards from both parties who have no intention of either "draining the swamp" or furthering what Trump was elected to do by his loyal and legal voters. Will Trump ride in on a (dare I suggest the standard color?) white horse like a knight in shining border wall armor at the last minute and maybe procure funding for a wall from the Pentagon's budget or. . .? Adding extreme insult to the situation, billions of dollars were already approved for both Mexico and Central America to assist in providing "opportunity" at home to supposedly make their people stay put. How will that fare, when rational minds know in advance and by experience that all of that money will simply be gobbled up by corrupt politicians? One more outrage for the pile -- and one to keep in mind when U.S. elections roll around again.
To those who celebrate the true, intended meaning of Christmas, may this year's be your best. To those who watch satellite photo after satellite photo indicating that we live on one tiny rock floating in a universe teeming with rocks and UFOs feel that when we die we're as gone forever and irrelevantly as last fall's crumbling dead maple leaves, party on!
It's a woman's world: Well, maybe the outlook isn't quite as bright right now for women seeking employment. Reports crop up occasionally of men in board rooms scared to death of hiring women, for fear that some innocent male-initiated action will be misinterpreted or that a man will say words offending just one female person -- and boom! The consequential multi-million dollar lawsuit hovers nearby, ready to pounce and eviscerate both individuals and corporate bank accounts. In a world increasingly devoid of common sense and congeniality as folks scramble to be the next victims "entitled" to an economic windfall to make what are often invisible wounds all better, such fears are not unfounded. In desperation, maybe some enterprising attorney will come forth and suggest that women not be hired by companies for their own (the women's) protection from a host of possible real or ethereal threats.
In a society where boys have been all but alerted in writing that girls matter and they don't, how interesting it is also that at least some fragment of Great Britain's education system has begun teaching young students that both girls AND boys experience menstruation! As established science is upended by leftist frauds with a deep, dark agenda, perhaps there should be a re-evaluation of who the real enemies are and the best ways to either convert them back to truth or dispatch them into oblivion.
In a related situation, it's refreshing to see some young men actually taking legal action against universities over Title Nine policies, which seem to have effectively shut a lot of young men out of their collegiate and professional dreams since its inception decades ago. They have a point, of course, and if we really value "diversity" (we don't), calling Title Nine and its determined blind-siding enforcers into question is a good place to begin.
Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson: Okay, so he had toxic feedback from a crummy joke and what's-'er-face won't marry him after all. His friends feared for his life and intervened -- too bad they don't suggest he step away from the leftist side of the comedy tracks so he can laugh at himself, because as everybody knows Democrats can't tolerate being the butt of jokes. Pete, don't drive off the cliff, just back away from the crazy left, which can't possibly offer you anything except a continuing infusion of delusion.
EPA chief Ryan Zinke bails out (or was deleted) of the Trump Administration: Good. There were questions about him from the start, and what constitutes "environment" really needs to be considered piece by piece, lest ambitious people reach too far.
Seven wasn't a lucky number for a seven-year-old child from Guatemala. While the media and every Democrat with mammalian vocal cords sought to blame U.S. border personnel and Trump for her death, the fact is that her parents and the money-stuffed organizers of this particular "caravan" are directly responsible for her condition and demise, period. It's bad enough that so many U.S. border hospitals have gone bankrupt and closed over the years because of an inundation by non-paying illegal immigrants, but to see our overstressed border people and facilities blamed for not doing enough for folks who aren't supposed to be here in the first place is absurd. Yeah America, keep voting Democrat and keep this nonsense going.
Thank you Donald Trump for considering a pardon for former Green Beret Maj. Matt Goldsteyn, possibly serving a life sentence for killing an ISIS operative, a very bad ISIS operative. Though warned about the dangers of pardoning military folk in military prisons, we think it's a great idea for the President to take a close look at everybody the military services have put under lock and key because of questionable acts. I'm former military myself, and I have no illusions imagining military lawyers hoping to make rank and advance upward based upon convictions of whomever happens to be convenient. Strong words, I know, but let's never think military politics are any less slippery than the civilian style.
Panic over "Obamacare": Why does everybody panic over this mess being deemed unconstitutional when it was doomed to collapse no matter what? Take far less government input and subsequent forced competition among health insurers all over the country, and we might just have something everybody can afford and cherish.
The Hypocrite of Megalomania Governorship: New York's governor Andrew Cuomo gave one of his usual energized, I think a better word is manic, speeches this week, promising New Yorkers (that is, those downstate stupid enough to vote for him consistently and to accept his dogma) a "rebellion" from federal government policies. This would be a great speech, if Cuomo weren't exactly what sane people with brains would actually rebel against. We loved his embrace to legalize marijuana in New York, while his people alternatively express concern about a rise among young people and teenagers engaged in "vaping." Both marijuana and the ingredients in electronic cigarettes contain a harvest of toxins, but Cuomo apparently prefers to tout one poison over another. Last time we checked, everybody is born with one set of lungs and caring for them seems a tad preferable to interior- decorating them with toxic or questionable substances of permanent consequence.
A slick bunch of incoming representatives of NY government seem pre-immersed with plans to spend precious tax dollars and time pursuing the Trump family. Maybe New Yorkers will get a really good sense of the socialist effluent they just elected. Or re-elected.
CBS-TV's "60 Minutes" offered a shocking report on plastic in the world's oceans. Yes, we've seen reports before, but this good piece emphasized animal deaths and habitat ruination caused by vast expanses of plastic substances above and below the surface, all the more troubling when plastic breaks into tiny pieces eaten by fish -- and, of course, eventually by us (revenge). We believe that cleaning this disaster effectively will take far more effort than a new method proposed and put into motion by a Dutch man.
We don't know if science will save the oceans, but we aren't too happy about scientists poised to infuse the something-sphere overhead with sun-blocking substances. Don't just-simple-people like you and I have a voice in who messes with our sunlight, forced instead to bow to the whim of mad scientists and bonkers governments? Contact your members of Congress. As if.
Africa calling: Unfortunately, China's answering the call, and the United States needs to continue making inroads quickly. My immediate concern is the animals of Africa, because if anybody expects the Chinese to show respect and avoid wiping out elephants and other wildlife so elite trophy hunters from back home can procure penis enhancement qualities valued by their superstitious ancestors, that's not likely to happen -- and African dictators will help if the price is right. Human populations of the Congo and Nigeria are predicted to skyrocket in coming years, but growing humans in quantity appears far easier than protecting other species, unfortunately.
Facebook: Oh, you folks are something. I wouldn't trust you with a trilobite, let alone a byte. Facebook, Google, Twitter, you're all the same to me. If we ever find out in which direction to run, we all need to run for our lives, far away from perilous social networks of distinction.
