The Cult Retreats (Temporarily)

Notice how there's been nary a peep out of the human-caused climate change cultists and their nefarious cult regarding hurricane activity?  We suspect this is most immediately explainable because elections are now in force in different states and nobody on the extreme left wants to risk renewed public displays of their indulgence in absolute lunacy, lest voters remember the utter craziness they are poised to vouch for in the voting booth.

However, it's difficult to keep a bad odor cooped up in a box, and you can bet that all of the usual hysterical gurus will surface soon, blaming humans for the current hurricane crop.

Of course, the two latest hurricanes brought destruction and horrors almost beyond belief to the South and Southeastern USA but, as seems customary anymore, observers carrying personal agendas prefer to dismiss totally the fact that there is always historical precedent for weather chaos.  In fact, some TV meteorologists took great care to mention that, indeed, a hurricane rivaling Milton's strength (and probably much worse, now that we know its wrath was just slightly less than anticipated) occurred in the 1800s.  If my memory recalls, there were no SUVs, heavy highway traffic or terror-inducing mega-cow farts enveloping the planet.

Climate disasters, sad but true, are a fact of life, and they will intrude upon our lives no matter how long it takes, as whatever species temporarily claims the Earth as its own survives.  May we add, "Mother Nature" can be a bitch?

The world's elite and their buddies here in the USA, insistent upon replacing "fossil fuel" engines with pure electricity-based vehicles should definitely be dispatched to the currently flooded South, where we've seen the ocean's saltwater destroy EV vehicle batteries, even starting fires when briny water touches lithium, the life force in EV batteries.

Meanwhile, even as safe nuclear energy and other potential candidates of power vigor make strides in both practice and in the lab, we humans remain careless enough to continue destroying beautiful countryside scenery with monstrously problematic wind turbines, while lining our now useless farmlands and meadows with toxin-laden solar panels (most of this stuff comes from China).

We scratch our heads over Homeland Security's joke Mayorkas and Biden and Harris, themselves excoriating critics who blame them for handing out some 1.14 billion dollars to Illegal aliens instead of keeping the funds for Americans in need.  No, they counter, the money for immigrants is in another account, not the account intended for American tragedies.  To which we ask, what's the difference?  No matter the location, it's all our tax money and these folks are stealing it to care for border jumpers (and those flown in by Biden).  To this administration we fondly submit, we wish for prison sentences in your future.  I wonder if pardons can ever be pardoned? 

Elsewhere, VP Kamala Harris attends her self-tortured showing on ABC-TV's housewife hypnotic, "The View," during which she states, in but one instance of a career filled with shallow statements, that she wouldn't change anything Biden has done if she becomes President.  We believe her!  Except more of the same will occur, with more of a refined Marxist touch to puff up the delusion that she is the new Martha Washington, Clara Barton or Betsy Ross, when she's actually closer in political philosophy to the comedy of Moms Mabley fast asleep.

To the Longshoreman's union:  How do you propose to exclude robotic technology from your work areas when the whole world is embracing AI, for better or worse?  Madness perhaps, but yes, your jobs will fade one by one.  The workers will have their day, but the machine shall have its way.

Bob Woodward writes another book, attacks Trump and brings in Russia, Russia, Russia.  Looks like the same old recipe, same old how to cook Trump cookbook.  Is this the much anticipated October surprise?  I doubt it.  The left always has something cooking, which usually ends up as attempting to cook GOP goose just before the elections.

HURRICANE DONATIONS:  When you donate through Glenn Beck's mercuryone.org site, 100 percent of your donation goes directly to helping the victims.  Why mess around with unknown or questionable charities when you can get a bargain of that nature where every penny goes to good things?

Two Young Women From Iran

We've visited this issue before, years ago, but it's worth another mention as Israel and perhaps the U.S. -- maybe with the help of certain Arab states? -- lean toward a closer warlike encounter with Iran's brutal and bonkers extremist regime.

More than 55 years ago, during the Vietnam Era, I and three other Air Force airmen attended medical classes at what was then the sprawling Medical Service School at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas.  Actually, we were selected for the then-critical field of physical therapy, and at that time, early in this fairly new curriculum augmenting what had previously been only on-the-job training, the USAF was fortunate to turn out a maximum of 30 physical therapy specialists a year.  As you can imagine, once educated we were very much in demand, and that is why I eventually was sent to operate my own clinic at a pilot training base in Georgia which had been without a therapist for months.

But returning to the Medical Service School:  For our class, the Air Force permitted two civilians, women, from a local hospital to join us, along with -- and here's my point -- two young women from Iran.

The four women attended classes with we airmen, but when it came to activities involving equipment, methods and (literally) the hands-on approach in the lab, we airmen worked together and they with one another.  Do I know the foreign visitors' names?  Yes, but because they returned to and may still be alive in Iran and subject to Islamic "social justice," I will not disclose them here.  The U.S. government's intention was that these young ladies would take their new medical skills to Iran and use this training in medical facilities.

As this selected portion of our Air Force physical therapy class graduation photo shows (I am using grayscale instead of the original color), the Iranian women wore Western clothing, as they had in Iran, and indeed they would because this was a different time just a few years ago.  The Shah of Iran, while disliked or even hated among many in Iran, maintained a good relationship with the USA and we were training Iranian military pilots (this I can confirm, as we were training them where I later served at Moody AFB in Georgia, and certainly elsewhere).

Everything changed for the worst when the Shah fell and, to put it in simple terms, radical Islam grabbed power and put Iran in a stranglehold administered by the ultimate in vicious craziness to this very day. 

I really have no profound messages today except to revisit a very different and not too distant past for the sake of noting that change isn't always a good thing.  We know there are many people in Iran longing to be free of the pure evil which drives them away from freedom and sanity every day of their lives. A free Iran would benefit all Arab states and countries currently subject to perpetual Islamic terror orchestrated by the craziest people on the planet.

When Obama was President, there was an uprising in Iran that very well might have succeeded in altering Iran's sad fate, but the U.S. administration in power did not give a whit about Iran's people and we did not help them.  Unfortunately, this lack of will was repeated by the Biden administration. That primarily Democrats in power subsequently gave/returned/pimped Iran billions of dollars used to buy bombs, missiles and other forms of terror should not be forgotten as world tempers and political justifications for another military draft heat up.  Anybody who believes that Iran's nuclear facilities aren't on the menu for annihilation by Israel and friends is living a hopelessly dangerous utopian dream.

Most Watched, Minus a Million

Of all popular networks of size, ABC-TV (with a little help from its Disney affiliation) may be the most Democrat-friendly.

And so it was when ABC rolled out a so-called debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.  Debate moderator ("most watched) David Muir and his co-host (said to be a sorority sister of Harris, by the way) allowed Harris to get away with virtually everything, while Trump was continuously verbally berated and fact-checked for what seemed almost every sentence he spoke.

But then the unthinkable happened.  Muir called Trump on the carpet for supposedly escalating national crime figures.  Oops.  After the debate, Web sites and real fact-checkers discovered that, indeed, Trump was correct about crime statistics.

Unfortunately for Muir and ABC, the public noticed, somehow momentarily aware that, among lies and sports, lies and media-induced inaccuracies are more important to our lives than games on the field..

Quickly thereafter, as if goaded along by a rare explosion of mental effort among communities all over the country, ABC and David Muir watched his nightly news viewer population nosedive by at least one million.  In a newscast supported in no small way by intrusive drug-pushing commercials, this is big.  If Muir truly believed Trump's reference to crime statistics was inaccurate, he surely must have recoiled in horror upon reading of statistical barbs aimed squarely at himself.

Hmm.  Notice how ABC is suddenly advertising Muir more than usual?

A kind word?  Sure.  I liked the old Gene Tierney movie, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" a lot.  But that's not where we're headed today. . .

By now, these generally laughable network clown shows appearing on large TV networks can almost always be counted upon to feature Republican-unfriendly and conservative-averse moderators seemingly determined to hammer candidates on the right relentlessly, whilst pitching soft-shoe questions to fellow Democrats and Democrat activists.  Birds of a feather appear to flock and poop together when perched before malleable TV cameras grounded in friendly territory.

Could it be that people on the street are beginning to notice, as what may be the most important national election ever boils just beneath the horizon?

The network news folk are gradually losing viewers, many of them young people who prefer news sources available on the Internet.  This is both wonderful and tragic, as the replacement for what once was a TV industry at least moderately concerned with the difference between truth and partisan whoppers does not always serve young minds well -- especially when those young minds were never taught critical thinking or history in school and have little in the way of common sense.

David Muir and other TV anchors and reporters do what they do, like their efforts or not.  My only encounter with Muir occurred one afternoon years ago (pre-ABC employment) when he was exiting a store as I was walking in.  Apparently, he was in a hurry and I had to quickly dodge him so as not to have a collision.  I doubt he noticed me because he is rather tall and I am not.  Had he noticed me at all, perhaps he mistook me for a mushroom or some native vegetation.

The Democrats' Welcoming Borders:  Official numbers have been released, indicating we now have a grand total of at least 420,000 convicted criminals among millions of illegals allowed in the country by Biden-Harris, and this includes 13,000 convicted foreign murderers and 16,000 convicted foreign rapists in the USA.  Thanks Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and unelected Democrat operatives for allowing in the world's most vicious convicts as prisons are emptied all over the world.  To quote Neil Diamond's old song, they're coming to America.  We kinda suspect real girls and women, not boys and men who suffer under the fantasy that they ARE women, are currently in terrible danger on the used-to-be-safe streets of America.

Israel on the Attack:  Bonus -- finally some justice for the U.S. Marines slaughtered years ago in Lebanon.  Israel has a remarkable military, obviously, and when everybody surrounding you intends your death and annihilation, there really is no other option but to fight for your own survival.  Forge ahead, y'all Jews, and get the job done.

Unions and strikes and strikes and unions. . .regaining strength under Biden-Harris and ready once again to demand things that they, not the rest of us, can afford.  If you love socialism and Joe Biden's form of "democracy," you gotta love unions.

Attention Mark Robinson -- Slavery DID Return (and the Democrats Made it Happen)

Isn't it funny how life imitates art, even when an artful comment comes from no less than North Carolina's gubernatorial GOP hopeful Mark Robinson, a black man who allegedly made racist comments on some porn site 10 years ago?  Aside from -- again, allegedly, because we're talking CNN news source-mud here -- his declaration, "I'm a black Nazi," the grand hee-haw words forcing everybody into near-apoplexy, apparently indicate a wish that slavery would return because slavery is a good thing.  Yes, dude wants slaves, at least he supposedly did 10 years ago.

(Side note:  I think I should consider renaming this blog Robert's Freak-Off.  Sean Combs may not approve. but I must say, I like the sound of it.)

Robinson denies the whole thing, but, well, if he really wrote those words (and believe me, words on a porn site are no less important than words crowded into the Constitution) he might be happy to know that wishes can come true!  Yes, we're pretty much all slaves now, immersed in a political gelatin cooked up by the left for years.

Seems as though a lot of people want to continue slavery, if polls showing good support for Kamala Harris are any indication.  Younger folks lacking even a basic memory of how great things were going when Trump was President before seem poised to choose not only a continuation of life on the Democrat plantation, but immense enhancement of the socialist government which keeps it in power.

And if young men and women think the Democrats will protect them from a potential military draft as WW III seems near, they are naive.  I know personally what it is like to get a draft notice when Democrats are in charge.

From food to housing to transportation to medical care to taxing the stuffing out of every small business and legally compliant individual, the Harris-Obama (not a misprint) team has everything in place and ready to administer the administrative state like it has never been administrated, grabbing power, influence and wealth from all corners.  All inflation starts with government policies, but Harris will attack private interests.

Damn the Constitution.  To hell with the Declaration of Independence.  Screw the Bill of Rights.  Our anticipated compliance will be legislated into law in so many ways.  We will still be eating illegal aliens by the hundreds of thousands.  We, the Democrat slaves.

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders knows Harris well enough to admit that she only says what she says publicly to get elected.  After that, she removes the mask and becomes once again what she is.  Lizard people from outer space come to mind?

Meanwhile, Senator Schumer and his minions chew at the very essence, the woodwork of the Supreme Court, eager to enlarge and stack the court with justices friendlier to extreme Democrat plans -- just the sort of thing that finally finished off Venezuela as the one-party concept of communism put a nail in the coffin of national prosperity.  The beautiful but human-vulnerable zoo animals of Venezuela, nice to look at, were slaughtered as food for the starving population.

Even as formerly cherished Democrats run from their party, young voters with little concept of evil, let alone common sense, pant and drool at the prospect of voting for Harris, who can't explain a damned thing, was swept into her position without one delegate vote, and will take away their futures while simultaneously vowing otherwise.  Slavery comes in many disguises.

Danger, Will Robinson! -- scratch that -- Danger, Mark Robinson, danger!  If you wrote what they say you wrote, your Democrat opponent will rule North Carolina, assisted by a Democrat machine gulping steroids.

Elections this time are all about the Republic vs. the administrative state.  If it comes down to Harris winning, pray that Republicans gain a couple of seats in the Senate so her -- their -- plans can be stripped to shreds.  Otherwise, the Harris team will cozy up to the global elite, working quickly with the UN, the World Economic Forum, the dreaded European Union and others to institute policies long desired by internationalists with little patience for America as it was founded.  DEI can indeed grow and become even more threatening to the concept of merit-based rewards as American society becomes nothing more than a leftist hive, slavery devoid of true individuality.

In a word, fascism.  For the masses.

Better Living Through Plastics:  Yeah, except it isn't.  New research fears that the blood-brain barrier may have been crossed, with the tiniest fragments of micro-plastics now able to enter human brain tissue, just as animal brains appear to have been compromised per lab studies.  This, of course, brings us to a -- oh, how I hate this phrase -- whole new level.  My first thought is, plastics can act as insulators and those particles, in quantity, would surely interfere with electrical activity in the brain, to say the least.  Would they also block off important nutrients -- even cholesterol, which is so essential to brains (even though Big Pharma wants everybody on statins, which deprive brains of cholesterol, probably one of the most crucial ingredients a brain craves, especially as we age)?  We suggest you forget about brain-eating zombies and worry about plastic mini-invaders instead.

Big Whoop:  Whooping cough is sweeping the country.  Thank you Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and all our administrative Democrat border heroes for letting every criminal (that means illegal, mister) human vector into the country to spread diseases once long forgotten.

Celebrity Endorsements in the Cattle Car

(But First:  Yet a second assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump occurred, this time in Florida on Sunday.  Generally speaking, it seems that major TV networks couldn't even bother to break into sports programming to announce this outrage.  Threats of violence against both Trump and J. D. Vance, expressed and promoted mostly by radical leftists and mental cases, have opened a very dangerous page in the current political era.)

As the planet perches on prospects for World War III with a nuclear flavor -- a perilous what-if situation, by the way, which WILL result in the mass drafting of young American boys and men into an understaffed military at the drop of a Democrat hat -- isn't it such a comfort to read singer Taylor Swift offering voting advice to the same clueless voters who would be swept up by a draft, especially under a Harris-Obama-Democrat administration?

I wouldn't know a Taylor Swift tune if a dung beetle rolled one onto the sofa, but apparently a lot of people do know the melodies and the words.  All I see is a beautiful and smart woman. talented I guess, who dates a football player, probably because it's cheaper to have one of those around than to hire extra security when threats abound.  Why else would she bother? Oh well. . .

So Ms. Swift --oh, by the way, satirist Jonathan Swift (no relation?) once replied, when asked if he liked children, "Yes, if properly cooked" -- claims she did the "research" on Kamala Harris and intends to vote for her.

Celebrities have as much right as anybody to voice their opinions, but can it be denied that Swift's necessity to tell millions of fans how she intends to vote, having done the "research," is an attempt to influence the election?

The interesting thing is that celebs such as Ms. Swift have so much money and influence that elections have virtually no consequences for them.  We are not they and have no relationship to their lives.  For the rest of us their endorsements -- however they are presented -- can certainly have a profound effect on the uninformed potential voter who will have absolutely no idea why they are casting a ballot for a candidate except for the fact that Taylor Swift suggested (?) they do so.

What "research" did she do regarding Harris, anyway?  Kamala Harris is a walking political nightmare, even among those who know her best, and enough Democrats at the top have left the Democrat Party, and are yet to depart, to serve as canaries in a toxic coal mine as top choice Walz jumps into the Marxist litter box.  The Harris-Walz ticket should read "No Admittance" during elections.

We have always believed that American voters ultimately make the right decision.  I don't know about that. If they make the same kind of decision they made last time, when Covid somehow made Joe Biden appear appealing, we are screwed.  Two obvious Marxists poised to run the remainder of what's left of the USA into the ground, lying at every turn, does not nourish my confidence, particularly when so many young voters this time around (1) won't remember how good things were when Trump was in Office the first time, and (2) don't really know a damned thing and have no vestige of common sense for reference.  Isn't it wonderful that they have Taylor Swift to direct their votes?  No, it is not, and she can say all day that she only wanted to encourage people to vote any way they want, but that is, to quote Col. Sherman Potter's character on TV's "MASH," horse hockey.  

Who is it that remarked about celebrities making statements out of their realm, shut up and sing?  If Harris is elected, I fear a lot of shut-up will be on the way, and she'll use accommodating courts to accomplish the goal.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (and what's on the menu)?  TV media sorts blame Trump for commenting about Haitians eating people's pets during the phony ABC-TV debate, but the truth is that earlier in the day the Internet was serving up many stories about pets being eaten by these folks, so it's not as if Trump invented this quagmire.  Anyway, when the Biden gang flies 10,000 to 20,000 to maybe 40,000 unannounced Haitians into Ohio in the dead of night or day, what's the difference who is eating whom?  It's a horror story no matter the circumstances.  Why are we paying for this shit?  (Note to common sense practitioners:  If rumors are untrue, why does Vance claim he is getting reports from his Ohio constituency stating that, yes, Haitians have eaten people's pets?)

Title IX lawsuit:  Good.  Women of all ages should be fighting like hell to reinstate science and the fact that there are two genders.  There are no magic wands to change one from male into female or female into male.  One is born as one or the other, and all the rest resides up in the head, where allegedly sits a brain.  Where is the National Organization of Women and a host of other female-based organizations which should be on this subject as if the future of biological females as defined clearly by science is on the line?  

Never allow lunatics with influence, money, hatred on their minds and too much time on their hands to subvert what society overwhelmingly accepts as real based upon known facts.  Maybe folks on planets in some distant galaxy consider men to be women interchangeably, but here on Earth we can only function and even (possibly) survive into the future by relying upon logical choices.  This isn't easy for me to say, having spent many years questioning what we believe to be conventional.  But isn't life crazy enough already?
