Bits and Pieces for April 2023

Draft Pushback:  Regarding the previous post promising a new military draft, and I received comments, I do hope I'm wrong, but I make no apologies for blaming primarily Democrats for our current international dilemma.  Some of you were offended, and that's fine, but it should be for the right reasons.  Truth is, the Biden bunch totally screwed Afghanistan and now blames Trump for what they had eight months to do the right way and didn't -- resulting not only in thousands of deaths (including 13 American military personnel all at one time during a chaotic episode), but stupidly leaving behind (according to recent estimates) 175 billion dollars of equipment and weapons, much of it very high-tech and now in the hands of China and Russia.  Giving up an essential air base was more icing on this sour cake.

In just two years this administration of White House and congressional idiots, utopian dreamers, fellow dolts and fools, with major involvement and input by the lunatic left green cult, have chopped, drilled and bullied the superpower status of the United States into slices of utter weakness and indecision regarding foreign policy, while simultaneously working to destroy American culture, energy and social norms.  If you think it was wise for Biden to dramatically deplete petroleum from our Strategic Oil Reserve in order to look like some kind of hero intent upon lowering national gasoline prices, you have a problem.  None of this was lost upon our international enemies and last week's decision by the Saudis and Russia to lower oil output was not merely a coincidence.  In mere months Biden has either made enemies of former allies important to us or given those barely hanging on the cold shoulder.

When we have another 9/11 in the USA, just remember what administration opened the borders to terrorist crossings and murderous drugs.  Drugs?  To be bitterly honest, let's put it this way:  Putin destroys his enemies with polonium; Biden paved the way to kill fellow Americans with fentanyl and a host of newer concoctions simply by doing nothing.  Once upon a time, some guy named Trump was successfully building a wall and helping keep world conflict in check at the same time. Or was that just a dream preceding a nightmare?  Oh yes, I see a renewed military draft in our future because the world is on fire and this administration will be directly culpable for its fine-tuning.  Good luck explaining this to your draft-age children, if you can even get a spare moment with them when they aren't attending sensitivity training or pondering their gender with the kind assistance of some lunatic college professor.

Nobody of a rational mind desires a military draft.  Unfortunately, few rational minds are currently in charge, and some of you unknowingly voted for the situation in which we were quickly immersed.  The inevitability of a draft is becoming crystallized, unless intervened by an unseen solution or miracle.

From the Weird File:  I mentioned him a few years ago, one of my college professors who was NOT a lunatic, and in fact the three classes I took with (now deceased) English professor David Feldman in the early 1970s helped polish my writing and approach to journalism.  Here's the strange part:  Of late I've been sorting through old boxes of "stuff" I packed away in the seventies, some of it from my four Air Force years.  Among these questionable treasures were a few things I wrote during off-duty hours at Air Force bases just to pass the time.  One spiral notebook's pages were filled from beginning to end with my scribbled handwriting which related a fiction story about a vampire (another relic from my past deserved of the shredder -- don't we all have those around the house?).

The cover of my notebook-engulfing scrawl was clearly dated 1969, and the story would have been put to pen and paper while I served at what was then the Air Force's fifth largest hospital (Texas).  Thumbing through yellowing pages, I happened upon an occasional character's name, but there were only a few to be found.  Suddenly, I was struck by a major character's name, and until now I had never given this old story a thought.  The character's last name was Feldman.

Feldman?  I wrote this in 1969 and never met David Feldman in college until somewhere around 1973 or 1974.  How strange, how very.

I wish David were alive, continuing to teach and still functioning as a recognized playwright aside from his college work.  He would have dismissed all of this with a laugh. . .or would he?  After all, turns out he knew some things about NY UFO history of which I was unaware, a total surprise to me.  The point of all this?  One never knows if the past might hold a peek into the future.  Or not.

Now, hmm, let's see -- where did I put that trash bag. . .

Saturday Night Lifeless:  When a long-established prime time TV show once known for a variety of political barbs has degenerated pretty much to the point where it needs to use a former Republican President for its weekly openings, or work him into the show in some derogatory way -- AND FAILING to focus upon all the failings and dangerous actions of a CURRENT Democrat clown President in Office for over two years now -- what'dya got?  You got a rusted, Bolshevist-ready train of the intellect stuck in frozen mud.  That's not a compliment.

Society Is Not Going to Embrace the Trasgender World:  Society will not form around them.  Trans people, if they don't kill themselves due to depression and/or drugs, are a sliver of the population, destined to remain on the outside, assuming once rational thought returns to a culture begging for common sense.  Be what you want to be, be happy, but know that logical, thinking people know what you are and are not psychologically, anatomically and physiologically.  You guys costumed as women don't menstruate, you can't have babies and the parts will never be far off from what your moms gave you in the delivery room.  Shed the myth and embrace reality.

Girls' sports:  Boys are not girls.  Where are the once-militant women's organizations which should be outraged about women's sports being systematically devastated by the Biden bunch's idiotic decisions.  Do we really need to espouse the scientifically proven differences between two genders?

First, do no harm, Dr. Frankenstein:  Having once worked in the military medical arena, I maintain a respect for the physician class.  However, I have seen ambitious surgeons at work, and would suggest that any surgeon dedicated to mutilating children's perfectly functional sexual organs to produce a transgender result before the kids can reason all of this out when they reach maybe age 18 needs to go to trial and off to sex prison.  Probably ditto for physicians who alter youth development with drugs, which we know can take a terrible toll on bone growth and other maturation systems.

The Pharmaceutical Circus Tent:  Depriving women of mifepristone, the popular abortion drug, seems a political move, dropped in as the decision was after some 20 years of availability.  Again, why not go whole-hog and invent more birth control options so abortion isn't even a question?  Next drug:  Naloxone for drug overdosing?  Sorry, I'm not carrying it with me, I have enough trouble finding space in my pants for pepper spray to ward off raging transgender attacks, and if you take bad drugs and overdose in my presence on the street you're probably going to die, plain and simple.  Rest in peace.

Nashville:  Wow, let a probable Christian-hating tranny kill off three adults and three children and everybody blames the gun (which was NOT an AK).  But let a Republican legislature kick out two members, who happen to be black, for doing something illegal in the chamber and -- zoom! -- there goes old Biden shooting off his mouth about race, and -- zoom! -- there comes VP Harris, mouth cocked and loaded and ready to rant in loud words about racism in the legislature and how we need more gun laws.  It never ends.  You don't silence people in a democracy, she shouts.  Really?  Isn't that what the Dems and their willing associates did on Twitter to the max to anybody speaking against their view? And by the way -- where is that tranny manifesto written by the murderer?   Seems like other such writings by crazy or dedicated people who do bad things usually get to the media right away.  So where'sit?

I think the Biden element is happy as a spring songbird about Nashville making the news.  It serves as another diversion to keep thinking minds from caring what Marxist criminals and plain stupid people in charge are doing to the country.  Biden's latest rejection of a Republican plan to increase energy production will result in unaffordable costs for everybody.  Somebody had better extol the virtues of now-safe nuclear energy to a skeptical public quickly.  And while they're at it, better make a few more bullets and nuke bombs, one can't have too many around the house.
