No matter the fit of a living organism's existence, in some manner almost every creature entertains the survival belief that it is the most important thing on the ground, in the swamp, deep in the ocean or atop the highest mountain. We humans, as an example, tend to casually accept our supposed superiority with a wink and a nod, then we go on to destroy everything in our path whilst calling our efforts creating something better.
Maybe my title today comes out of my experience with a general anesthetic a few days ago. No, not a major procedure here, but I haven't been put under a general anesthetic for nearly 30 years. Having been part of the hospital atmosphere during my years in the Air Force medical community, I visited my share of operating rooms, but when it comes down to one's self lying on the table everything changes. Personalization? You bet.
General anesthesia reminds me of alleged alien abductions, where people claim to be poked and prodded and remember nothing of their experiences until years later, if ever. My only "souvenir" following this month's general anesthetic was a pretty deep laceration my teeth inflicted upon an upper lip during its administration. Not uncommon, but I look forward to a day when light and/or sound will replace customary chemicals to put one to sleep or apart during procedures. If we last that long.
Carl Sagan was too kind when he referred to us as "star stuff." True, of course, but I prefer to go a little retro and stop at the era of dinosaurs and their bones because, while I have a hard time imagining my earlobes as remnants of a doomed asteroid, comparing my bone structure to that of some prehistoric saber-tooth mosquito beaver seems much more basic.
A lot happened while I was "out of service" last week, reminding me of our destiny to become yesterday's dinosaur bones despite our best intentions, and yes, AI will transport us to the bone graveyard faster than we can imagine. Dinosaurs had no say over their ultimate disposition, and though it may come as a surprise to those humans who think we will live forever, neither do we. We self-conspire by nature, begging membership in eternity's flatline clubhouse.
Now, where are we . . .oh yes, nowhere at all. Nevertheless. . .
TREASON is just a word, though it really needs to be much more. I was delighted to see Elon Musk mention that very word regarding the Biden gang and the illegal alien invasion. Why delighted? Because our otherwise blowhard members of Congress appear unable to even whisper the word. Tell you what -- when the dust settles, I want every person responsible for the border invasion to be arrested and tried, and when convicted either imprisoned for life or executed as per government standards for those who commit treason against their country. Of course, all of that will be dependent upon finding prosecuting attorneys and judges who aren't lodged so far up the left's political ass that retrieval and logic are impossible.
If the United States were a ranch right now, I think it could be called "The Double T" (for treason and tyranny).
Speaking of the Biden bunch, we see that Syracuse University might have ranked at one time among several colleges and universities being considered for Biden's presidential library. Wouldn't that be cool? The very campus where Joe Biden is famously known to have plagiarized at least one school paper would hold a new building filled with his lies, stupidity and reckless decisions. (Note to nobody special: While Biden was draft-dodging and attending S.U. in 1968, I was attending Air Force basic training, having enlisted with a military draft on my heels.)
Anyway, I could certainly see:
THE JOSEPH R. BIDEN PRESIDENTIAL
& PLAGIARISM LIBRARY AT SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
Ah yes, the Biden bunch. The people who, we now learn, flew under cover of darkness some 320,000 illegal aliens to 43 U.S. cities a while back. Treason is afoot.
Kathy Hochul, New York's governor and arguably the worst governor in the U.S. has dispatched NY National Guard members to NY City subways, currently under siege by vicious young predatory insects presumed human. Oh, and they are forbidden from carrying long guns, perhaps leaving them to the merciless mercy of the NY subway criminals.
Because these generally young criminals seem immune to logic and verbal warnings, I think the Miranda Rights card should be altered to something like this:
"You have the right to remain silent. If you can't afford an attorney who will treat you as a victim of society, one will be provided. Please note that if you are convicted and go to prison you will quickly discover that there are no women in a men's prison and you will be forced to endure romantic relationships and painful sex with other males as long as you are incarcerated."
Biden's Budget: Good grief. We love, as we always do, the part about making corporations paying their "fair share" of taxes in order to take pressure off the taxpaying public. Except if corporate taxes are raised, companies will raise their prices and ultimately make the consumer pay for increased government taxation. The folks who believe the government is giving them a break are the same ones who consistently vote for Democrats.
Israel bites back: I say, go get'em until Hamas is but a flamed-out wreck of bearded rat feces. Regarding the "Palestinians" which, strangely, NO Middle Eastern countries wish to take in, ask each and every adult -- and certainly children educated in the ways of terrorists -- that one basic question:
Does Israel have a right to exist?
Responses are not likely to be in the positive.
When your neighbors want you dead and demonstrate their murderous skills, going on the attack is the only option, and Israel is maneuvering the only way it can.
Numbers USA: We note that some of our leftist friends, who experience intense orgasms every time they find a reason to condemn organizations with constitutional leanings, now consider the work of Numbers USA (see my link) "hate speech." I guess they don't like the organization's ability to let just plain folks express illegal alien views to members of Congress effortlessly by hitting a few keys on the keyboard. Shameful!
Measles outbreak: Hmm. I wonder where measles came from. . .
Tik Tok Lock? Congress voted today and the fate of this controversial web site is up for grabs. That so many young people get most of their news from Tik Tok is horrifying enough, but the Chinese communist connection is of terrifying concern.
Unions are popular again thanks to Biden's hard work. And they will destroy America along with the Democrats, complicit media and fellow travelers.
Particularly as a former medical worker who knows the importance of nurses, I express my sympathies to the family of murdered nursing student Laken Riley. I can add nothing regarding the illegal alien bastard who killed her that the Riley family is not already thinking, though I tend to believe their thoughts are far more charitable than mine at this time. Joe Biden, you and your gang are a hideous crew of monsters.
