Expect the Expected

An explosion of mental illness among children is reported throughout the country.  Surprised?  We shouldn't be.  The left and its pharmo-medical minions spent every day for two years terrifying folks of all ages about Covid and viruses in general, and they aren't finished yet.  Now we learn via a release of data intended for scientific analysis that an awful lot of young-ish people have developed myocarditis after receiving Covid immunizations, and reports of other side-effects associated with immunizations number in the thousands.  Maybe it's because the "vaccine" isn't really a vaccine.  Maybe it has to do with "spike" proteins developed in connection with the delivery system.  Why are kids so screwed up?  Many factors come into play, but whacked-out adult guidance as currently on exhibit throughout the country cannot be dismissed.  I don't know that psychological counseling will solve much, as various fresh hell opportunities march to the surface, but it will enrich therapists' bank accounts.

And then there's our innocent-appearing television screen, importing and infesting the nation with pharmaceutical commercials on TV news shows every night.  The true nightmare.

There are times when no brains seem necessary to view the near future.  Take Russia, for instance.  Was there any question, following Trump's departure and Biden's White House occupancy, that Putin would step up efforts near Ukraine, gambling rather fortuitously that the moment had arrived to do something dramatic?  Whether he intends an invasion or merely sent thousands of troops to scare a Ukraine-NATO partnership away doesn't matter because the stage is set for either option.  Biden, as his moments fade, hardly appears the harbinger of a good solution -- and last we knew, he was a cheerleader for Russia's much-desired fuel pipeline construction affecting many countries.

Did anybody NOT see China thirsting for Taiwan, having already satiated its communist empire with the relatively easy acquisition of Hong Kong?  Who will prevent China from its quest for Taiwan? There is no Trump, but there is a Biden standing in China's way, right?

While the United States consumed years, and continues, worrying about social justice, frivolous lawsuits and phony gender bewilderment, Russia and China concentrated on military (including space satellite) improvements, and our current bargaining posture seems quite in a state of slouch.  While California college campuses were installing sanitary pad dispensers for men who thought they were women, our enemies laughed and worker hard to make the best weapons.

Involvement in ramping up national security and the creation of weapons of hypersonic offense were the apparent driving forces behind major communist nations, while many officials in the U.S. spent time manufacturing panic and chaos and government-prescribed terror among its own population, which held nary a clue about the reasons why.  

And if the intention created primarily by leftists was to keep people scared and confused, such options might easily lead to the rise of people such as alleged young murderer Ethan Crumbley.

Obviously disturbed in some dark way, Crumbley seems to exist under the same cloud pushed upon us all by leftist screeds, readily apparent in his strange drawing.  "My life is useless," he comments, adding "The world is dead."  Wow -- if this kid doesn't sound like a lunatic disciple of the progressive left, which exerts lots of energy in telling young people that they have no future, that things will never get better for them.  We're sure that even a homicidal 15-year-old could pick up on that theme, since it's everywhere in academia and on the street.

What of Crumbley's parents?  Were they attempting to depart and go far away, discarding their troubled son the way one throws away spoiled food?  What a family.  What a society.  Family of the year award goes to these, no doubt.

Good guns:  If ravaged cities continue to refuse to address the high crime issues perpetrated mainly by legislators unwilling to provide proper law enforcement, we believe a potential Supreme Court decision allowing citizens to carry firearms certainly won't make things worse, and might actually benefit law-abiding populations.

The Omicron variant:  Oh good grief, here we go again.  Must we continue to suffer through Dr. Fauci's advice?  And his constant manipulation of things he himself said? (check out  fauciliedspecial.com)  Can we infect Biden's "Build back better" bill with this virus, destroying this costly socialist nightmare for all time?

How to screw up one's natural immunity for a lifetime may eventually be a lesson learned if we really get on the track for never-ending immunizations concocted by pharmaceutical companies rolling in big profits forever (or until the end).  If the Metaverse becomes tied to pills and injections young Mr. Crumbley's illustrative words, pictures and, sadly, actions could come true.  Can we imagine a youth responsible for such violence actually being a visionary for his generation's future?

Jussie Smollett in/from hell:  Found guilty on five out of six charges, sentencing yet to be announced as we write this.  We suspect he still doesn't care that his little contrived incident involving race, sexual preference and a noose had all the ingredients to spark street riots from coast to coast.  By the time the nation's true racists finish blaming everybody but Smollett for his dilemma he'll probably escape jail time and instead have a parade in his honor.  For the near future, though we know Hollywood forgives anything that doesn't wear a MAGA hat, this "actor' belongs doing dinner theater at a fast food place.

Kyle Rittenhouse:  We still praise him and his innocence.  Unfortunately, leftist college rats would deny him an education on campuses allegedly open to all.  The latest:  He intends to become a lawyer and will attend ASU.

The death of Daunte Wright:  Some people obviously never learn that you don't mess with the cops or attempt an escape.  Especially in this era of officers tired to the bone and disrespected daily, it was only a matter of time before somebody with an outstanding warrant would try something stupid and encounter an officer's accidental response with gun instead of taser.  An infinitesimal number of cops turn out to be dirty, but Officer Kim Potter certainly was not in that category (apparent in the video after she shot Wright).  Wright's girlfriend can cry on the witness stand all she wants, but the person most responsible for this event was Daunte Wright.  And we have no problem suggesting that if Wright were not black the nightly news would barely have found a few seconds to report on this story.  What race-baiters never understand is that every time one pits color against color, the faster they build an altogether new plantation to enslave everybody, and it will be brains and individual freedom, not cotton, picked.

The Southern border:  The Biden syndicate can never retreat from damage
caused to every decent person and neighborhood in the USA by opening the door to cartels, drugs, murderers, rapists and the very worst of the international worst.  Despite continuing efforts by the guilty-as-hell (and predictably inept) left to make Donald Trump appear unelectable, should he run again, the truth is that Trump is looking pretty darned excellent right now.  Partner him up with DeSantis or Scott for 2024 and he'll be back.

Isn't this a little like price-fixing?  These are not easy times for a lot of broadcast networks or individual stations.  Revenue can be hard to come by, as perhaps may be competent staffing -- the latter more than obvious when local news divisions can barely bother to spell words flashed on the screen correctly.  Local stations across the country, for the most part, no longer have the funds or staff to do in-depth reporting on crime or  political corruption and, unfortunately, a significant share now bask in utter compliance, mouthing only the information local, state or federal government sources shovel to them -- compliant time-filler stories in between commercials.

To the average TV viewer or radio listener, sponsors' messages presented in increments of seconds or minutes used to be tolerable, only a few here and there.  Not anymore.  Now, you're lucky to get more than six, seven or eight minutes on some TV network outlets before the commercial barrage restarts, sometimes consuming a nearly equal amount of time.  In some instances, particularly when old TV shows or movies of the distant past are presented, you just know they paid little for these while making quite the profit from sponsors.

Nobody should condemn broadcasters for making money in America, but the frequency of commercials has become more annoying than ever.  How about those unbearable Medicare advertisements this year, hawked by celebrities over and over again for weeks?

But worst of all, as if exercising the most annoying of collusion, radio stations have joined with TV stations in a marriage of synchronization, a formidable power grab demanding and achieving your compliance.  What does this mean?  It means that at last radio has caught up with TV to initiate a train of commercials at almost the very same second, give or take.

You are the sinner, for far too long you dared change channels to see what else was on during commercial breaks.  How dare you! (Sorry to borrow from you, Greta.)  Well, go ahead now, change that channel.  Know what you'll find? More commercials, all running at about the same time, packed into similar lengths of time.  By George, they did it, they finally did it.

No matter that the TV show character you were watching gets cut off in mid- sentence, and no matter that your radio talk show host MUST go to commercials before the clock advances five seconds further.  No, you may as well ask to have your eyelids glued open, because come hell or high water you are going to watch somebody's sponsored offering.

Sure, we appreciate the programs.  But we never expected to find ourselves, um, going from a small, tolerable sprinkling of entertaining, even seductive commercials to an outright gang rape of viewer or listener minds.

Is there a solution?  Maybe.  If you find an appealing product on a commercial, contact the company, tell them you're interested in the product, but plan to buy it from a competitor because the competition is probably better, cheaper because they don't spend extravagant amounts on commercials, and probably has a more content work force because money that might have gone into commercials is instead given to employees and product upgrades.

Of course, a lot of consumers would need to be involved in this tactic to teach broadcast companies that peppering the audience with commercials throughout the hour is just wrong.

After that, the next obvious target should be radio commercials that start out with a ringing, brain-jangling phone, often followed by a bad script.  Where is the justice?
