RANDOM THOUGHTS ON A SATURDAY EVENING

After an election victory, one should wait a while before drawing conclusions.  I did.  Four months, in fact.  Now I'm weighing in.  

I live in Ass Crack, Alabama, if you listen to some dweeb know as Roger Kimball, a sourpuss RINO who hates Donald Trump.  Ass Crack, Alabama is Kimball's geographical description of my locale, not mine.  Here he is in all his brilliance, offering us his two cents worth on the Presidential election this past November:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdeqIGKJIUc.  I didn't think a penny could go down in value, but Kimball's opinions prove otherwise.  He thinks he's important.  Plus, he's desperately in search of political relevance.  I don't know much about this doofuss, but he's way past his expiration date, much like James Carville and Mitt Romney, who's milk soured long ago.  

From time to time, I read Roger Kimball's screeds and then ignore them.  You can thank me later.  He's a RINO and Trump hater who assured us in 2024 that Kamala would win the Presidential election, despite my sense that Kamala had no chance, owing to her obvious stupidity.  

If Kamala could double her intelligence overnight, she still would wake up stupid.  Sorry, but it's a fact.  I mean, honestly, even when she strings two intelligible thoughts together, she still ends up moving backwards.  Anyone with a sense of direction can see that.  The others think she's hot.

I don't feel sorry for her.  What's the point?  It won't matter to her, because she's too stupid to know she's stupid.  It's a merciful trait that nature bestows upon the unfortunate.  Most of her admirers are similarly endowed.  Call it the Dunning-Kruger Effect.  See here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect.  Kamala devotees can skip this link: 

Dunning–Kruger effect - Wikipedia Some researchers include a metacognitive component in their definition. In this view, the Dunning–Kruger effect is the thesis that those who are incompetent in a given area tend to be ignorant of their incompetence, i.e., they lack the metacognitive ability to become aware of their incompetence. en.wikipedia.org

"Heels Up Harris" is the only slogan that might still work for her in the future -- but only behind the scenes -- given her political skills.  She learned to use them well...her heels, I mean.  Those skills are quite effective when you're young and limber.  Most California males didn't have the opportunity to "know" Kamala in her prime, which may explain why they remained "Undecided" on election day.  Then, the more she spoke in public, those same "Undecideds" turned negative.  A skank is a skank.  Even guys understand that.

Kamala's handlers did their best to keep her away from interviews and microphones, but it never worked out as planned.  Someone eventually put a mike in her face and she spoke, which is a no-no.   Oh, well, stuff happens.  Her advisors told her to smile and walk away.  Do whatever is needed, they told her, just don't say anything.  Don't talk, they repeated, as in, keep your mouth shut.  Unfortunately, compound sentences were above her pay grade.  She spoke anyway.

Long story short, it didn't end well.

She lost the election by over two million votes.  That poor girl was not an accident waiting to happen.  She was an accident that happened long ago but got ignored until gameday.  Spending $2 billion over three months before the election bought her three months of a delusion that someone sold her on...a costly gambit.  And so un-democratic.  Rigged elections, anyone?  Her supporters assumed Americans would forget about the "Heels Up" part, and the part about skipping a Democrat primary in favor of a left-handed coup, but they didn't.  I'm glad the Kamala funders squandered their money.  And I'm glad Kamala was stupid enough to believe she had a chance to win, but, hey, that's Kamala, right?  "Heels Up" can only get you so far.  You can't fix stupid.  Or make an excuse for your posture for success.

Accept the woman for who she is.  Her picture should be on display in the dictionary beside the word "phony."  Let's be honest.  Kamala is stupid.  Plain and simple.  Her problem can't be fixed.  She's dumb as a rock.  And to say "she's smarter than me" is not a compliment to her or you.  That's the bottom line.  If you disagree, cf. "phony" and insert your own picture.  There likely won't be much of a gap between your picture and hers.  Beyond that, I can't help.

Shepherds in olden times were the very ones you wanted with you in an alley fight and as a best friend.  In those days, shepherds guarded sheep.  It wasn't as easy as you imagine.  Lions and wolves preyed on those animals.  The shepherd's job was to run off, fight away or kill those predators before they cost him his livelihood.  Yet, like David in the Old Testament, shepherds usually had little more than a sling or spear to ward off danger.  Those shepherds who survived made do with what they had, and to good effect.  And all to protect the innocent lambs who couldn't defend themselves.  Yes, that's the kind of friend I want.  I'm not saying I'm a sheep.  I'm just saying I'm not a shepherd. and I'd like one of them fighting beside me in a dark alley.  The shepherd likely would inspire me to fight more tenaciously than I imagined.

The beauty of being a college professor is this:  Not only are you getting a monthly paycheck, but the kids in class know nothing, basically, beyond what you tell them, and they certainly know nothing about your IQ, which likely is a blessing.  They are the clay and you are the molder of clay.  You own them, except for the ones you're sleeping with.  'Fess up.  We know.  Fortunately for you, most of them are over 18, so it's legal.  But, still....

..........

If you watch the MSM, you get what you deserve, or at least what you seek.  They have breakfast ready and waiting every morning, if you are hungry.  They hope you are.  That's why they also serve lunch and supper.  They aim to fatten you up.  Just don't lose your appetite.  Breakfast will be there in the morning.  

If you trust them for "news," you're a fool.  They are there for the paycheck, same as you when you turn off the TV and leave for work.

Start from there. 

 

                                

IVANKA THE TERMINATOR

 

I’m proud of Ivanka Trump.  She takes after her Dad.  See here:  

https://rumble.com/v6r3cko-ivanka-trump-demonstrating-her-jiu-jitsu-skills-has-the-internet-going-craz.html.

I suspect she can kick most women’s asses (to man-splain), aside from those women who cage fight.  Dating Ronda Rousey is on my bucket list.  As for fighting against men, don’t hold your breath.  You'll be wasting oxygen.  One guy’s punch, or more, would settle that conflict.  Don't kid yourselves, ladies.  Otherwise, it will hurt.  Don't FAFO.  Watch here: 

https://nypost.com/2020/05/30/male-baltimore-cop-knocks-woman-out-in-shocking-video/

and here:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iPbNqjSIs5U

The videos may be painful, but they help explain why women are better equpped to carry and nurture babies and men aren't, at least not in the same way.  Our hormones work differently.  Capiche?  The Godfather tells one side of the story.  The fairies in The Wizard of Oz tell the other.  Will the new "tranny" fad get us beyond the male/female distinction?  Spoiler alert:  It won't, but it's fun to watch.

Ivanka’s video is choreographed.  Her male opponent just goes with the flow.  It's a "made for video" moment.

Still, it’s a good video for women with a fighting spirit who want to stand up for themselves.  And stay in shape, which should keep the guys interested.  Plus, it may buy you a second or two to run away...into the arms of...a guy?  

Two thumbs up, Ivanka.  You go, girl.  Just pick your fights carefully.  And run fast.  Otherwise, what’s the point, unless you're fighting another girl?

Wonder Woman is a fantasy.  

I understand.  You are your father's child.   But you have other things going for you, as you well know.  Stick with them.  

 

YOU’VE LOST THAT LOVING FEELING

 

In a maudlin moment, I watched a video of three women reacting to the Righteous Brothers singing You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling, a song released in 1964.

OMG.  Watch the girl on the left, when her expression changes as she gets into the lyrics.  The link is at the end of the next paragraph.  The other two, caught up in the rhythm, continue to smile and sway to the music.  Obviously, they are reacting to the vibe.  The girl in red, however, changes her reaction halfway through the song.  Something in the lyrics appears to have hit home.  Just watch her and see, in comparison to her two friends.  

Pay attention to the change in her demeanor.  Her sway ends.  Her eyes close.  Her smile disappears. It’s like she’s retreating into some dark and private corner of her mind.  Were the Righteous Brothers speaking directly to her?  Was she one of those who felt love slipping away with no way to stop it?  We’re not told.  But go back and watch what happens when it appears the lyrics hit home and the joy of listening is replaced by something else.  It’s as if the lyrics laid bare some deep scar on her heart.  Watch and see:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRfDIGeZtFM

I’m just guessing, of course, but the change in her demeanor is obvious.  Her expression changes at this point in the song:

“Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you,

if you would only love me, like you used to do.

We had a love, a love, a love you don’t find every day,

So don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t let it slip away”

ignore the repetition of words.  Obviously the songwriter hit a brick wall and kept repeating the same word to keep the cadence going.  The message is what I'm focused on.  The young lady in red tried to get back into the rhythm of the tune, but she couldn't do it.  I looks to me that the song evoked a brief but painful recollection, some dark memory that was cut into her soul, and then the sound of her own quiet voice saying “This shouldn't have been how things ended.”

For her sake I hope I’ve misread her reaction.  But I know a kindred spirit when I see one.

Anyway, I don’t know that young lady and never will.  But it might be a conversation worth having.  We all take secrets to the grave.  They remain written on our hearts ‘til the day we die, like demons who occupy our inner sanctum until we finally learn how to exorcise them.  Often someone comes along and steals our heart, helping to banish the demons.  Otherwise God is needed, which may be just another way of saying the same thing.  God comes to us in many forms, though sometimes only through prayer.

BTW, and on an unrelated note, is the girl in white a Diana Ross wannabe?  Didn’t afros go out of style in the 1980s, same as mullets?  Asking for a friend.

 

"Will Someone Please Shoot the Messenger"

…or so they hope

 

Start here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4HmMm30QY8

If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.

I hope you believe in a God and Creator of this universe, or “Ultimate Reality” if that’s your preferred pronoun.  If not, that’s okay.  Names don’t really matter.  Just pay your nickel and make your choice, then live accordingly, as we all must do.  Live your best life.  Make the world better for you having been in it, even if you start late.  The dregs will come out in the wash.  History has a “rinse” cycle.

At this moment, a whirlwind named Donald J. Trump and his new wingman, Elon Musk, are swirling across the political landscape, and with devastating effect.  Their devious adversaries have made every effort to mute Trump, beginning in 2016 and culminating in two 2024 assassination attempts.  Failing that, they have now turned against Elon Musk, deciding to give him the same treatment they gave Trump, hoping to discredit him and drive a wedge between him and his boss. The playbook hasn’t changed.  It’s a divide and conquer strategy, same as they used against Trump and his other allies for the past eight years.

They will fail yet again.  Failing is what they do best in the Trump era.  Even now, in desperation, they are showing themselves as buffoons, crass ideologues and stupid politicians, three circles of intellectually-challenged cretins who would make for an interesting Venn diagram.  Maybe Kamala can draw one up for us. 

Meme experts, have at it! 

And goodbye Politico.  Sorry you can’t make payroll this week, now that your secret government funding has been cut off.  NPR and PBS, you’re next.  To the CIA, all I can say is, Take the “L” and take a seat.  Find some other way to check up on your ex-girlfriend.  You, too, FBI.  And stay off those porn websites.  Do you really think your prurient interests are national security issues?  Naturally, they classify their research as “Top Secret” to evade public scrutiny.  It has worked up ‘til now, right?  Hence, their fear of Trump and Musk.  No, I don’t think those organizations are corrupt from top to bottom.  I worry most about the head of the snake.  That’s where the fangs come out.

Panic makes people do strange things, especially Washington politicians and those who depend on them for their annual funding.  The last thing they want is for you to know how the financing game is played and how they have colluded to deceive you since Obama first was elected to office.  USAID, it turns out, has been one of the main benefactors in an international kick-back scheme.  Why all the fear of USAID being audited by Musk and his crew?  The IRS does this to all of us each year.  Is there something you don’t want us to know?  Why are you the exception to the rule?

Well, here’s three obvious reasons they prefer to keep you in the dark.  First, they don’t want you to know how they spend your money.  Second, if they don’t have access to your money, they lose power, and maybe even their jobs.  And third, they don’t want you to realize that your tax dollars are paying for their grift.  Don’t be fooled.  They’re not spending their money.  They’re spending your money.  Those facts alone would put most of us in jail.  But not them.  Naturally, if you’re in the camp of Al Sharpton, Abrahim Kindi or Stacy Abrams, everything Trump does is inspired directly by Satan, otherwise referred to as Trump’s alter ego.  That point of view makes money for them.  Otherwise, those three folks and their acolytes are national embarrassments and grifters at best.  I could name so many others.  To cite the Straw Man in The Wizard of OZ, if they only had a brain.  Did I mention Ocasio-Cortez?  And Chuck Schumer?  I could go on.

It's no wonder that Democrats are in a panic.  As Musk turns on the light, we notice how many roaches are scurrying across the floor, collecting millions of dollars annually – like bread crumbs – from their political allies and bureaucratic overseers, such as USAID, then racing back toward darkness when the light comes on.  You weren’t supposed to know these details, or how they suppressed free speech on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google.  USAID, NGOs, CISA and supportive government agencies were their workaround, only you weren’t supposed to know about them.  They fear such disclosures and the repercussions that might follow.  

Why?  Because they fear you, whom they didn’t consider a threat until now.  

They fear you might apply to them the same remedies they applied to their political adversaries who represent you, and would apply to you if they could.  

Interesting, isn’t it, that they want to move the goalposts when it’s your turn to kick the winning field goal?  

I’m enjoying the schadenfreude over their newfound panic.  They didn’t figure that a bright light of condemnation would soon hover over them.  You can thank Trump later.  BTW, did you notice I just mixed three metaphors in a single paragraph.  And here’s another.  Trump has released the whirlwind of justice upon them and their evil ways.  Now I’m guilty of four mixed metaphors.  I’ll stop there, despite knowing I’m on a roll.

Bright days appear to be ahead.  I don’t think Democrats can come up with enough cloud cover to hide the sunlight.  I once was a Democrat myself, until they gave up on Thomas Jefferson and the Constitution, which I thought they cared about.  Foolish me.  Enjoy their loss of power.  They earned it.
