Personally I have a disconnect from humanity. If we were all thrown back to the beginning of civilization, and a few of us wandered away, found a nice spot by the river, and started to build homes, farm a little land, hunt and gather, and create a “village” together, you wouldn’t find me clamoring to build an obelisk in the town center. Or to build a house of worship at the center of the town square that was even more grand than any home in town. And if you started up with “we have to have a pyramid built”, I’d say “i’m out, uh, yeah, count me out, not going to participate in any of that, uh…”
If you started up with all kinds of “Gods” stories, marrying them to the shape of the stars, I’d question your sanity. Start to wonder if maybe we needed to shiv you, rid the community of you and your ideas. If you came to me and said “June 21ST, it’s longer than the others, the sun shines longer”. I’d think, how did he come up with that, is he sitting around measuring how long the sun is out, what is wrong with him. Isn’t he tired from chores, hunting deer. Who has time to figure out how long night lasts?
I don’t think I’d have survived well back in time. With my attitude they’d have had me at the top of one of those pyramids and a “priest” would be zipping one of those stone-knives up under my rib cage and taking my still-beating heart out to show the crowd.

The Florida Panthers won the cup. I’m happy about that. Even though I'm a transplant from Maryland, and not an authentic Floridian. In reality I’m a lemming, easily distracted by their circuses. Next they’ll have me excited about the British Open. And no matter how much they steal, and thieve in Washington, I’ll sit blissfully silent. Oh, I’ll bitch a bit next plane trip, sitting in some middle seat at the back of the plane, as if hogtied without ropes. Wishing I had stolen enough to call Net Jets.
But by then it’ll be football season, and that distracts me for months.

When you didn’t question “diversity is our strength”, even though you knew it was horse shit, they went for “there are more than two sexes”, and “small children can tell us when they are born the wrong sex”.
Even a plumber knows “shit runs downhill”.
You didn’t stand up and call “bullshit” on them when they began to set “rules” that made absolutely no sense. So they didn’t stop. And they won’t until we put some people in charge in every vertical that have common sense. From academia, to Hollywood, to the business suite, the sensible need to take back charge.
I’m not sure there is absurdity beyond “a six year old girl wants to be a boy so we have to perform a medical procedure to help her accomplish that goal”. That seems as if it is “peak extreme” to me.
But wait. Just wait. The Left is emotionally damaged. The Left is a cult. Believe me when I tell you they’ll come up with things out past that lunacy.
Really, it’s not that far a leap from medicating your offspring with serious, psychotropic drugs, giving a developing teen Adderal, Prozac, Paxil, even Lithium, to agreeing that the real solution is to mutilate their gender. If you’ll go along with turning your kid into a zombie so as to smooth the edges of life, and make management of a child easier for yourself, it isn’t hard to believe you’ll sit and listen to some bullshit about allowing their breasts removed, their lives completely ruined.
You are weak and malleable. You allowed “doctors” and “teachers” to tell you how to treat your children. Even against your own instinct. If you’ll medicate them at that age, developing age, you are already over halfway there to mutilating them.
Why not, you mutilated their minds.

Please do not meet me, inform me you are now a conservative, but at one time you were a Bernie Bros, or a devotee of some far Left Liberal. That will only make me think you are some malleable, weak, and disgusting individual who would fall for anything. That you are going to ride the next “feel good” train to nowhere.
Never ever believe what people say. Watch what the do. The day Bernie bought a second home with the book cash, you should have immediately recognized what a complete and worthless ass he is and was.
Now it really shouldn’t have taken that long. When he honeymooned in Russia that should have been your first clue he was completely unhinged. The man spouts Marxist nonsense. Always comfortable spending everyone else’s money on his social program desires. You can never trust a man who would spend your money on things you don’t see him investing his money into.
Three homes. Is that a socialist? Is that a card carrying Communist? Does that dovetail with anything you hear Bernie say?

Listen up big snack, you aren’t fooling me at all. Pirate’s Booty, or “Pootie Pie” as it is known to my grandchildren for some reason, is nothing more than Cheetos in a different packaging. I figure you could only sell so many Cheetos and hit peak Cheetos sales, and so you put the stuff into a different bag and came up with ‘Pirate’s Booty”.
Every time my little grand daughter says “I want Pootie Pie” I want to make a fist, slide it side-to-side in the way Jerry does when he says “Newman!”, and I want to say “Cheetos!”. I am not fooled by big snack. They have to get up earlier than that to get me.

When McDonald’s burgers were twelve cents, why were they twenty with a slice of cheese? Did a slice of cheese cost almost as much as all the other ingredients in the burger combined?
Never made any sense to me.
And on that subject, are White Castle burgers really any good, or are we all drunk and disoriented and need some grease in our system to maintain some sense of order?
In Baltimore we had Little Tavern, not White Castle. Same thing. Those things were golden at 2AM.

Drunk driving is treated as a sin worse than shooting someone. So someone tell me, after the big football game, with everyone leaving the parking lot having tailgated since 10AM, with cops everywhere directing traffic, why do we ignore that at least five thousand “drunks” are driving right past the cops and out onto the freeways?
One celebrity gets popped for drunk driving and it makes news for a week. And the left wants to put him under the jail.
But I can tell you concretely, that there are at least, minimum, ten thousand drunks, every one of which would blow a 1.0 or better on the drunk test meter, leaving “The Preakness” horse race after the race day is done, passing at least two hundred uniformed cops directing them away from the venue, and……..nothing.
No arrests, no problems, no issues with drunks behind the wheel, just cops nodding and pointing, as bleary-eyed smashed drunks cruise past them behind the wheel.
We are a very curious society. Very curios indeed.
Thousands of drunk drivers. All in the same place. Riding right past the cops. Who know they are soused. Nothing.
Yet some Fall Friday evening, at 10PM, you’ll leave the Italian restaurant having split a bottle of red with the wife, and hit a roadblock and wonder what is happening. Only to discover that it is a sobriety check point. And there you sit, nervous as hell, having downed a beer at the bar waiting on the table, a cocktail having conversation about the menu, and 1/2 a bottle of wine chatting with the wife on a lovely evening out, and you have to sit in terror that your ass is on the line for twenty grand in legal fees for having to face the cops fifteen car lengths ahead.
Make any of it make sense to me.

Watching streaming shows can be fun but why must they all have plot holes and jump the shark so often? I’m watching some old show, “The Fall”, and the first two seasons were excellent. I’m 1/2 way through season three and it is too damned predictable.
Listen up writers, dream sequences and amnesia victims are 1962 soap opera staples, not plot points in a modern streaming thriller. To say they are cliched and boring is an understatement. So is serial murderer, but a neighbor suggested the series and he is golden in his recommendations so far. I mean he was the first one to come to me with “Peaky Blinders”, and I put that up there with “The Wire”, and “Sopranos”.
I hope they only did three seasons, and this thing can come to some conclusion. I’d hate for this to another “Bloodline” that just ends prematurely because some suit at Amazon or Prime somewhere pulled the plug three seasons early.

AIPAC just spent some 14 million to take down Jamaal Bowman in NYC and I have very mixed feelings about that. I am happier than a clam that the fire alarm pull idiot is gone, someone that stupid should never be in a position of power.
But we all should be concerned about a foreign nation having so much power in our election process. And I mean seriously concerned. And worse, they didn’t spend 14 million to unseat AOC. She won her primary.

I wouldn’t put it past Trump to reverting to being “Trump” in the debate, having a moment where he goes all “Rosie is a fat pig”, which overshadows an awful performance by Biden and becomes the focus of the debate for weeks on end in the mainstream media. And I wouldn’t put it past CNN to bait him.

Don’t look now but 31 were shot in Chicago over the weekend with 8 fatalities. Which is an improvement, the weekend before 71 were shot with 9 fatalities. It goes without saying they are all black. All of them.
Going to be a long, hot Summer in South Chicago.
Hear any politicians saying anything about this lately? No?
Yeah, that was last year’s cudgel to somehow beat Republicans. In a city that has been Democrat my entire lifetime somehow the R’s get blamed.

Bill Maher should have stuck to his more scripted HBO show and not branched out into a Youtube show from his basement. It is clear he needs his writers. There are times he sounds just plain stupid in the shit he says. He parrots debunked DNC talking points so much you wonder if he gets all his news from MSNBC.
For a man with a talk show, and now an interview show, he comes across as incurious, which is just amazing. He doesn’t question Covid narratives that are now known to be false, he buys into Leftist tropes like Trump saying “fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville, and comes across on his Youtube show like an aged, addled, liberal who lives in a very small bubble where you have no reason to question Democrats, ever.
If you watch the show with a critical eye, and not as a fanboy, there are times you think, oh, man, is he really this dumb?
*
Where is the anger over what they did to us all on Covid? Why has everyone allowed them to lock us down, lie to us over, and over, give us shots that we now know were only slightly effective, harassed small businesses mercilessly, and just botch the entire response?
If the anger isn’t going to be demonstrated at the ballot box, then it is meaningless.
