Thrilled at the prospect of no host having been selected to prolong the agony, I decided to sit through the entire presentation of this modern version of the circus freak show.
Particularly, it was my understanding that a song entitled "Shallow" would be sung, and I just naturally assumed its lyrics would relate to the negligible cerebral qualities of budding stars and starlets. Yes, I was wrong there. I guess.
By the time, days later, when I upload this blog entry, you will have known everything about the Oscars, so I won't drop a screed here. Suffice it to say, the usual socialists and worse among the glitter galloped to the trough to receive awards likely more in keeping with their leftist politics than their talents, though exceptions did step to the stage on occasion.
But "winners" emerged to toke advantage of the affair, as usual, to poop upon the national TV audience with agenda-ridden condemnations of Trump's proposed wall, a love of illegal immigration and a racist performance (by the ever dependable Spike Lee). And how great that foreign directors and actors can come to the United States and express their idiotic opinions without fear of being hauled away and eliminated, as they might be in their home countries.
The Academy Awards have come to resemble daily proceedings of the United Nations, and that is no compliment. The event seems about as honorable as Congressional House Democrats gushing over Michael Cohen.
Obviously, I wasn't surprised at the lack of so much as one sentence in praise of American military people who help preserve so many of the freedoms these "artists" and intellectual crackpots enjoy -- but it was ever so telling that not one -- not one -- in this procession of overwhelmingly buzzed out narcissists could bother to take a few seconds to excoriate Venezuela's dictator Maduro, whom that very weekend had approved the shooting and killing of starving Venezuelans whose only crime was an attempt to get food. Not a word!
Former military actors and directors of World War II and Korean war vintage, patriots almost all, are gone. With what is Hollywood left? The left.
Worshipping at the Altar of The Great God Michael Cohen: Even as President Trump attended to vitally important affairs regarding North Korea (with an unfortunate result of no solutions this time around), and even as American military men and women have begun focused training upon war with Russia and China, the most important issue on congressional minds is Michael Cohen, noted lying, prison-bound and now ex-attorney. "Say anything" isn't just a movie title, apparently. These public hearings say as much about grandstanding Congressional members as the eminent Cohen, as representatives on both sides seemed to be auditioning before the TV cameras for dramatic roles in soap operas.
By the way, whatever happened to Trump's Russian collusion? Remember that? Hey? Over here, hey. . .
Nevertheless, one might ask the obvious performers among House Democrats -- how come no, never, ever investigations into Obama and the Obama bunch? Hillary? Holder? The rest of the upper-level cast?
The New World Odor: Isn't it interesting how we've gone from Obama's "Yes we can!" to "Don't you dare!" via leftist philosophy?
Survival food: The "food emergency" advertisers continue to push their wares. That's okay, but shouldn't they include a statement that once disaster strikes, your neighbors lacking emergency food will be stopping by at some point to break into your home and steal your food after killing you and your entire family? Or, hmm, does emergency food get shipped with free rifles and ammo?
Gender confusion: If somebody approaches me and declares themself to be some other gender than male or female, it should be incumbent upon them to produce peer-reviewed scientific evidence.
You're welcome.
New York's Solution: The left pursues gun solutions without actually stating its real goal to ultimately rid the country of all firearms, but that's okay, nobody's surprised about radical wishes. Still, NY Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo and his gang in Albany came up with a goodie. Reportedly built upon from a Republican idea, Cuomo proudly announced that school teachers and family members aware of people who might be at risk of causing gun violence can now report officially, and mental health professionals will determine whether cops should remove guns from the homes of potential offenders until determinations regarding safety can be made.
Excellent! So you start by accusing and pissing off a gun owner. When he or she later regains their rights to possess their gun(s), still angrier than a nest of yellow jackets and perhaps keen for revenge against those who caused an ill-advised commotion and temporary firearm confiscation, what then? "Hot for teacher" may end up as more than a song title.
As Democrats strive to destroy all gun ownership, step by step, "shall not be infringed" becomes as clouded as other freedom twists engineered by the social justice bunch.
Wannabe Cuba? It's striking how LEGAL immigrants often come forward to warn that the United States is deteriorating into all the bad things they abandoned their native countries for. Reference the new green deal.
India and Pakistan, each on the verge of war with hordes of shiny nukes. Can their rage be stopped? We hope so, as nuclear radiation drifting our way as a side-effect would be far from pleasant.
