Chances are really good that someday it will be our turn to settle international social issues once and for all eternity, not with all the brainpower assembled in the United Nations, but instead with the biggest freakin' mother of all asteroids in the known or unknown universe. Yes, a chunk of dumb rock bringing along neither college degrees nor diplomatic experience will likely determine our exit, obliterating all human accomplishments, cute animals, world dictators and daily panic over climate change. No negotiations, no counter-offers, no hugs or handshakes, no artificial intelligence -- just brutal, all-encompassing termination.
Oh, wait -- I forgot, we'll all be living on Mars by then. Unless Mars gets the killer asteroid treatment first. Or after we move in, barely able to unpack a fleet of galactic moving vans before chaos rules.
But not to be negative. . .except. . .unfortunately. . .
Hong Kong needs King Kong: Maybe just a temporary lizard-loan from Japan? As China remains perched on Hong Kong's doorstep, characteristically ready and willing to viciously subvert the slightest spark of freedom among those under its hawk-eyed watch, the world observes. Contrast Hong Kong's people, waving the American flag and singing OUR National Anthem in a desperate quest for a measure of freedom, to invaders on our Southern border, brandishing high the flags from their countries of origin and loudly condemning the United States because these phonies can't access our welfare and free stuff system as quickly and conveniently as they want. There comes a point when President Trump may need to be far more outspoken about Xi's savage regime. Meanwhile, the best words of Mandarin to learn are those telling China's government to go to hell if its manipulators can't look beyond torture, murder, mass imprisonment and world domination as a plan for the future -- and planning way ahead for every surface of the planet is exactly what they do.
Fake of the week: Rep. Tlaib, crying crocodile tears for the TV cameras as she decides not to visit her Palestinian grandmother via the kindness of Israel. You'd think this bad actress hiding under congressional privileges would cherish a trip to old granny before granny, oh, I don't know -- chances to set off a bomb and exits forever? Tlaib had no reason to cry, except maybe for failing to whip up enough Jew hatred. The fact that she and Omar were elected to Congress sure says a lot for the quality of their constituency. Doesn't Sharia smell better all the time?
Periodic gender count: As a public service, we wish to take this opportunity to count the number of human genders as determined by scientific research. Today's count: Two genders. Suspiciously, the number never seems to change unless fiddled with by morons whom, in most other instances, love to shout, "The science is in." Apparently, gender and science have no relationship. Go figure.
Woodstock's 50th anniversary: Missed it. Too busy helping to fix patients in the Air Force's fifth largest hospital in 1969 Texas. I hope those freakin' hippies smoked a joint or drank a beer or two in honor of the kids sent off to die, receive wounds or corrode mentally in Vietnam. And speaking of that era. . .
Peter Fonda dies: Fonda was known best for the movie, Easy Rider and for being part of a famous acting family. We dare suggest, based upon a rather distressing wish Fonda angrily uttered publicly some time back that -- well, all we can say is, Barron Trump should sleep better tonight.
New York, New York: (Sigh. . .) Once upon a time, long before the Democrats filthied the place up, education accomplished an important job. Now they want to screw with the upper levels and high school curriculum, as they always do, by teaching a segment on "symbols of hate." Do those symbols include a donkey, by any chance? The Democrats, having absolutely nothing to run on in 2020 except race and guns, always go for the obvious. If these fools really wanted to influence young people and the education system positively, they would return to incorporating civics lessons emphasizing American qualities instead of hate-America-first classes.
Television: While we find the CW's summer series, Two-Sentence Horror Story interesting, last week's episode in which the ultimate "monster" turned out to be I.C.E. agents at the door of an illegal family simply proved that the TV medium, as never before, has become a blatantly obvious vehicle for leftist political ideas. Further. . .
We watched brief, recurring previews for two new fall series on ABC-TV, Emergence and Stumptown, and will reluctantly predict their quick demise. First, did ABC learn nothing with the cancellation of The Passage last season, when this murky hodgepodge of confusing episodes featuring a young girl, monsters and her older companion failed to gain a foothold? So what do they do? Here comes Emergence, this time again involving a young girl as the center attraction among the adult class. The major alteration, from what we can see, is that The Passage story involved a black girl and the new series integrates a young white female into a sci-fi story.
Then there's Stumptown. Hoo boy, what was that ABC series last season that bombed, the one about two government agents, one male and the other female? Whiskey Cavalier? So here comes Stumptown, another reason to show everybody that a woman can do everything a man can do, even being featured in an improbable smarmy TV series unlikely to snare a viable fan base simply because even the most basic of TV audience members know pap when they see it. If there's a war on women, putting them into televised nonsense like Stumptown and Emergence isn't going to win the battle. On the other hand, the CW Network's launch of Nancy Drew based upon the old and time-tested book series may do quite well among the young and generally faithful CW audience. Anyway, we'll see -- or somebody will, because I can't be bothered tuning in to most of television's evolving foolishness and visual mind cancer (as we've suggested before, try watching the current crop with the sound muted; without audio to prop up the view, the vapid jejunity is enhanced).
By the way, we remain appalled that all forms of media concentrate so much on women and girls now that boys are almost invisible, ghosts. Maybe it's little wonder in specific instances why some grow up, go nuts and shoot people. The rot dripping from segments of contemporary society almost warns males to stay in the background. Never be afraid to be a boy in a village of reverse-sexist idiots.
Universal puts the motion picture, The Hunt on hold: We doubt it's a concern over the movie's violence as much as it reportedly shows kidnapped political conservatives overpowering progressive types and emerging as the winners.
The Jeffrey Epstein saga: Here today, and out with the simplicity of a bed sheet with no significant thread count tomorrow.
Working against America: Five senators on the left including Gillibrand and Blumenthal apparently can't play nicely in the sandbox because, reportedly upset by recent Supreme Court decisions not to their progressive liking, they seem keen on adding many more than nine SC seats to gain, um, a better degree of fairness. This is the kind of dangerous nonsense one votes for when elections come around.
Not to forget NY's Senator Schumer, who wants purchase of body armor by the public authorized by and registered with federal law enforcement. Is there no end to Democrat interference in perfectly legal commerce conducted by the innocent?
Suggested refrigerator magnet: DEMOCRATS DO NOT TRUST YOU EVER
The FCC wants a three-digit suicide hotline number: The suggested number would be 988. It may as well be 666, because the massive suicide phenomenon won't be solved with a call-in. The problem is society itself, and as we tire of suggesting, human numbers play a role.
Money cures sex abuse: Like a cattle stampede, attorneys are thundering across the sex abuse flatlands, hungry for money but couching their natural instincts as concern for the victimized. If you're alive, dead or not certain and maintained even a hangnail connection with the Catholic Church or the Boy Scouts of America, watch out -- the New Inquisition is here! Anybody who thinks religions, organizations, Epstein and others brought something new to the world with underage sexual encounters is naive indeed, and if you've read enough history one finds a normalcy about it. Surprised? Don't be, because a society as ours, so enthralled with the "roots" of human civilization, will find peoples who characteristically had and continue to have some very interesting relationships and activities with and between adults and children. Evil? Wrong? Roots, it's the roots that everybody loves. And as always, somebody needs to pony up the big money, though we've never understood how it is that money somehow decontaminates bugs in the allegedly victimized psyche. We are, however, aware that attorney fees serve quite another purpose.
Dem candidates Warren and Harris hit a new low by claiming Michael Brown was murdered by police officer Wilson. Even Obama's DOJ determined that thug Michael Brown, high on drugs, attempted to kill officer Wilson by grabbing his firearm, and had the officer not taken extreme action Wilson would have been dead. Even as Brown's father initiates a new lawsuit (!!!), it should be obvious that Michael Brown, who heavily outweighed officer Wilson, received exactly what he deserved. Warren, Harris and their fellow political liars should drop out of the race over their incredible race-baiting lie, obviously intended to gain votes from the. . .let's just say ill-informed masses who believe anything and act accordingly. Who are the racists? Who?
A new report claims that 50 percent of the world's forest animals have disappeared. If true, this is another surprise that shouldn't be a surprise. We wish Trump would evidence a lot more concern for environmental matters -- the ones that can actually be perceived, not those wished for or fantasized over by the agenda-ridden.
Plastics: Particularly alarming is a recent report of an amazed scientist whose water samples far away from the grind of civilization displayed microscopic pieces of plastic, some in color, leading him to determine that plastics now exist everywhere, in everything and in every human and animal. Of course, we already knew about ocean contamination. Solving this evolving problem, if anybody cares at all, is cursed by time itself.
I.C.E. "raids:" We're disgusted by the way TV news shows use videos of crying children at the border -- and children are truly the battering rams of the illegal border invaders.
Illegal aliens coming by the endless thousands are like guns -- they kill things in their own way, such as American culture and language. Leftists abhor gun violence, but embrace the slow-cooking explosiveness of an invading horde.
"Red flag" legislation regarding the taking of guns from certain individuals without due process: This is so unrelated to constitutional freedoms and the Bill of Rights that minds should be boggled. Who will save us, if not ourselves?
