My Daily Kona

   There is soo much going on in the world right now, and there is soo much that I want to say

We have rumblings of Putin invading the Ukraine and adding "The Breadbasket" to Mother Russia, and our "Betters" are pushing sanctions and other things and beating the drums of war, talking about committing troops and I am horrified, I am an Army Cold War Veteran, I was part of VII Corp in Southern Germany and I also went to the Persian Gulf as part of Desert Storm, so as they say "I smelled the smoke and saw the elephant" That isn't what concern me, I was part of a highly trained green machine that had all the branches of the services that were well equipped and highly trained in warfighting, now the Army and the Military in General has newer equipment and in a lot of cases, better equipment, but the leadership flatout sucks, they are more concerned about "Diversity and Inclusion" then warfighting skills, whereas our near peer enemies don't have that problem and we will get our asses handed to us.  Our troops are fragmented, the ones that believe in this country are forced to either get vaxxed or get out, and the ones that stay in are the ones that will be ideologically pure to the left in this country, but they can't fight worth a crap, but by God they check off all the boxes.  And our "Betters" that are pushing for a confrontation, it won't be their kids fighting and dying, it will be "Flyover Countries" kids fighting and dying.  Our"betters" have no skin in the game unless the payouts they have in any Ukraine companies *Cough*Hack* Hunter Biden's  Gas Company sponsorship*Cough*Cough*. If there is a fight, we will have China watching and

either getting ready to carve up Taiwan or they will while we are embroiled in the Ukraine dealing with Russia.  They will be studying how we fight and figuring out countermeasures  and right now I don't have faith in the leadership military, Civilian, and political to do whats is in the best interest of our country, but I am too tired....

Meanwhile Stacy Abrams announced her plan to run again for Governor of Georgia, she narrowly was defeated in 2018, but then she was instrumental in getting both Georgia Senators democrats by her political organizations and harvesting the votes.  I am concerned, Brian Kemp is the present governor of Georgia, he did a good job overall of running Georgia especially during the pandemic, but he blew off President Trump and the  another candidate, the defeated senator Perdue whom former President Trump has endorsed is going to try to primary him.  This is a mess, Kemp has the support of the never Trumpers, and if he defeats Perdue, the GOP that supports President Trump will be lukewarm at best about supporting Kemp making it easier for Abrams to win, especially with the democrats proclivity of "finding the Votes"

 it is a real possibility my state will go democrat and that is a real concern, and unfortunately moving is not an option for a few years because of my and the spousal units job..But I am too tired....

    We have the latest variant to hit the shores, and of course the "CovidKarens" are shrieking in fear demanding more "masks" and more "lockdowns" and of course certain countries have gone total totalitarianism, like Australia, that is sending their infected citizens to "Covid Camps",

 

 and in Europe the Austrians, Germans and Italians have locked their unvaccinated citizens in their homes and fining them if they are caught outside, and if you are outside you better have either an app that shows your vaccine status or "your papers"

    I remember version 1.0 of this stuff where the undesirables and others were shoved into camps after being stripped of their rights as citizens, had their property seized by the state and millions killed and I keep wondering how the people today don't see it.  I know that the people in Germany in 1938 were blind to history, but we know what happened and we are careening down that same road again, I keep trying to explain what is going to happen if they keep pushing, but the people pushing are on a mission, you can see it to get  "everyone Vaxxed"...For our own good mind you and they don't understand what lies down that road when they strip a persons freedom and autonomy from them and say "You must obey or else".   But I am too tired.....

   Meanwhile we have the Grinch Dr Fauci himself telling everyone that they must get the boosters or "They don't get Christmas", now this is the problem, Fauci who is the face of "Our Betters" have decreed that we must get boosters to have our freedom back...well this is the problem sport...our freedom were given to us as a gift from God, not the State or a bureaucratic hack, and what the state don't give, the state can't take, but unfortunately so many people who don't know any better because of the abysmal education system in this country gave our sovereignty to the state, that which was a gift from God, many surrendered to government hacks and now they go hat in hand and beg for crumbs of their former freedom back from these same hacks.  I am ashamed of my countryman....how the mighty have fallen......but I am too tired.

Meanwhile these mandates have been a boon for certain companies, I normally don't have an issue with any companies making money the honest way, Adam Smith was adamant about the "flow of commerce", but what is going on here is government interference in the market by demanding that we take and "accept" a vaccine that isn't really a vaccine.  Now if someone wants to take "The Jab" , fine have at it, you have to judge the pro and cons of the "jab" and decide if it is right for you...or not.  The Individual is the most important person in this, the rights guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution are Individual rights, given by our creator and the governments job is to make sure that it isn't interfered with, but instead, you have the same people that scream "My womb, My choice" are trying to force me to accept "the Jab", all in the name of "Safety."  They can't have it both ways, you are either free or you ain't.  And these companies that are profiting are making a killing, just so happen that a lot of congressmen own stock in them...But I am too tired to explain to these people.......

Meanwhile the mandates about "vaccines" from the Usurpers administration keeps getting knocked down by the court system, and I hope this continues...I have filed for exemptions because I don't want to take the jab, I have had Covid 2 times now, I am having to fill out a petition at work for a waiver not to have to take the "Vaccine", at my place of employment, I have a job that pays exceeding well and I have to worry about losing that job because I am standing up on my principles on "Who Owns You" I am concerned despite the court order telling the Xiden administration that they overreached, he is telling companies to proceed anyway and most of them are proceeding despite the court order.  What is going on? why are all these companies rolling over and showing their bellies to the Xiden administration.  Does anybody have a spine anymore? 

I want to tell people to stand up....but I am tired of screaming into the wilderness......Just tired.

     Meanwhile "Our Betters" are totally tone deaf, Xiden picked the most incompetent people in D.C on the Potomac for his administration, they have no clue how regular people live, they are so insulated in their blue bubble around D.C they have no concept or worse they don't care what happens to the American people and this is criminal.  All they care is how much they get from the federal trough as they stick their nose in as they parrot "Da Narrative", and whatever the narrative is to the modern left and it totally disgust me.  I wish there was a way to cleanse the place, and replace the people with people that actually want to serve, rather than try to enrich themselves art the expense of the American people and worse try to start up a near feudal society with them as "Gentry" and us as Serfs or Kulaks where we know our place and tug on our forelock and bow down to our master as they walk by, this is the dream that they have, but it is not the dream that I have and it is totally diametrically opposed....and if this continues...there will be collision of dreams and this will not end well, ...but I am soo tired of trying to explain to people that don't want to listen what the cost will be....

Meanwhile in Waukesha Wisconsin a Mr. Brooks decided to run through a Christmas parade and killed 6 people and wounded 50+ others, he was given a really low bail for running over the mom of his kid a couple of weeks earlier, and he had had many run ins with the law, and he kept getting chances and more chances and rather than staying in prison where he belonged, he kept getting released into the street.  Because the DA supported social justice type bail reform, Mr. Brooks was able to be on the street to literally ride havoc on the streets of that town in Wisconsin.  When I first heard of it, I first figured he was suffering from "Sudden Jihadi Syndrome" because the denizens of islam love to take vehicles and drive through Christmas parades of the infidels, it is something they do in Europe.

   Mr. Brooks believed in Black nationalism and he didn't like police or white people, from his many social media post.  Hey it is his right, he can believe what he wants, bigots gotta bigot.

 

 But it somehow funny to watch the twisting of the media as they downplay the race and social media activities of the driver of that red SUV that caused so much carnage in that Christmas Parade....the Double standard of the mainstream media is galling...

      When "Da Narrative" is threatened, the media buries the information and pretends it don't exist, then they ofiscate and gaslight you.......But I am soo tired and don't want to talk about it any more.

   And speaking of the Media, it is coming out that the New York Times and other legacy media were complicit in the "Russia Conspiracy" hoax that they used to savage President Trump during his time in office, to the point that the Pulitzer prize they won for journalistic excellence for the totally debunked story should be returned, but despite the call for the Pulitzer Prize committee to revoke the award, they will not do anything because when ideology trumps the truth, there is a problem with the institution, and they don't recognize it and don't care.  this shows the effect of being in the bubble and twisting facts to support a narrative and facts be dammed, this is further splitting the country, we are no longer 1 country, but 2 totally different country and I see a divorce in the future, but I am tired of trying to explain.

    Soo many people wish President Trump was still President, I know I wish I do, I wonder how many Xiden supporters are having buyers remorse,  Sure President Trump can be an asshole, but his policies were good for the country, he loved the country, and unlike the current crop of donks ain't trying to tear it down.  I don't know if he will run in 2024 or if he will be behind the scenes anointing Desantis or some other GOPer in his image, but I am soo tired of trying to explain to people, I am just burned out, my people switch is toast and I have no give left in me...all I have left is push back.

 

   The "Karen" phenomenon is more than a thing, about the bitter old white harpy that wants to complain and try to control you because her life is crap.  She bought into the 4th wave of feminism and thought her life would be perfect, and now in her forties/fifties/sixties after kicking her husband to the curb to "find herself" after listening to her divorced friends, she realized that her life is empty so they are out on a crusade to "change the world" so as to try to fill her life with meaning because they usually have no kids or have alienated them unless she has daughters and she will try to corrupt her also.  

       They usually have no belief system except gaia, or the state or some other nebulous higher power, believes in "the science" if it is pushed by the state, because you can't question the state.  They are the ones that made the most use of "the snitch lines "on your neighbor and called the cops, they are the self important busybodies that made sure that all the edicts pushed by Fauci and crew were complied with on social media or you were "killing people ".   They are the ones that screeched and pushed for everyone to get "The Vaxx" or you should go to a camp with all the other non believers and just die.  They had the insipid circle on their social media profile that stated "I am vaxxed" and they were proud of it.  They were the ones that would swoop on you in a grocery store and screech "Where is your mask?"  even in states where it wasn't required.  my favorite response after politely telling them to go away was to "FU", yeah I had no love lost for the self important busybodies.   The "Stasi" would have loved these people.

I pulled this off "PJ Media".

Back in the bar-hopping days of my youth, the telltale sign of a high-quality nightclub was twofold:

1. Must have a minimal (or no) cover charge, and the beers can’t be crazy expensive. (Pro Tip: If there’s a clean mint in the urinal, you’re paying too much for your drinks.)
2. Must have hot babes.

Advertisement

And honestly? The latter outweighed the former by a LOT: We could always “pregame” (with Milwaukee’s Best and/or Natty Light, of course) before going out — but if the bar was packed with nothing but dudes, we wouldn’t hang around.

We’d leave and try to find a bar with babes!

Bar owners understood this dynamic, which is why they invented “ladies night,” where all the women drink for free: As long as your bar is filled with good-looking women, you’ll ALWAYS have plenty of desperate dudes (like me!) paying handsomely for the privilege to drink with ‘em.

That’s how the male mind worked: We wanted to be wherever the women were.

But what if I told you there’s a place that utterly defies this male-female dynamic — a place overflowing with single, desperate women… and young men STILL avoid it like the plague?

Remember those “No Kings” protests? Turns out, the name was dead-on accurate: There were no kings.

In fact, there weren’t many men there at all.

From the New York Post: ‘No Kings’ protest composed mostly of educated white women in their 40s: experts

At last weekend’s “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s.

Psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said the “No Kings” protests were a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur.

“What we’re seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets,” he told Fox News Digital.

Axios also studied the demographic breakdown of the “No Kings” rallies: Not only was it overwhelmingly female, it was also overwhelmingly white:

The typical attendee at the D.C. protest was an educated white woman in her 40s who heard about the event either through friends or via Instagram, according to preliminary data collected by American University researchers who track protest movements.

[…]

State of play: 86% of surveyed protesters in D.C. were white, and 57% were women.

It’s eye-opening how lily-white the D.C. “No Kings” protests were — especially for a political party that prides itself on DEI hires, racial diversity, and kneejerk “inclusivity.”

The demographics of D.C. are 43% black! Yet 86% of the D.C. protesters were white?! 

How is that even possible?

Meanwhile, President Trump won 46% to 48% of the Hispanic vote, 40% of the Asian vote, and about 15% of the black vote. Which means, the evil, racist, xenophobic MAGA movement is vastly more “racially inclusive” than the left-wing “No Kings” movement!

Axios did find an “expert” to explain the glaring absence of minority participants. You might find it amusing:

"It makes sense that we're not seeing people of color in the streets because people of color are being disappeared," said Dana Fisher, a professor at American University's School of International Service.

Right: “People of color” couldn’t march because — abracadabra! — they’ve already vanished. Makes perfect sense. 

(Wait. No, that doesn’t make any sense. Like, none at all.)

Either way, it’s created a radically different image of the “No Kings” movement. Try as they might, this wasn’t anything like the Counter Culture revolution of the 1960s, where college-aged activists led legions of idealistic youngsters into the streets, telling ‘em “Don’t trust anyone over 30.”

Today in 2025? College kids weren’t skipping classes to attend the “No Kings” rallies! 

Instead, it was filled with unmarried, post-menopausal white women.

(Who attended the rallies with other unmarried, post-menopausal white women — during their down time between book club meetings, therapy sessions, and trips to Whole Foods.)

The New York Post focused on the convergence of “belonging and community” and the yenta-heavy demo:

“The ‘No Kings’ movement allows people to feel belonging and community,” [psychotherapist Jonathan] Alpert said. “Sharing grievances with like-minded people feels good, but it doesn’t necessarily change anything.”

[…]

That fleeting catharsis, Alpert added, can also mask something darker. 

“A lot of times people are unhappy in their own lives,” he said. “They may have anxiety or anger, and they project that onto others. That’s partly what we’re seeing play out at these rallies.”

And it also explains why young people — especially young men — want nothing to do with today’s Democratic Party: What self-respecting 20-year-old man wants to spend his free time with a bunch of angry, bitter, old women?

Especially women who view his masculinity as inherently “toxic”?

The Democratic Party has gone from Camelot to a lot of Karens — from donkeys to cougars. And for all the talk of “No Kings,” in truth it was “no husbands”: These rallies consisted of sad, lonely women commiserating with other sad, lonely women.

And then they went back to their single-occupant homes, fed their seven cats, got drunk on rosé, and watched MSNBC ‘til bedtime — wondering where all the “good men” have gone. 

Advertisement

(Yeah. All the “good men” have vanished too, eh? Just like the “people of color” vanished from the protests. My God, it’s an epidemic of vanishing!)

The truth, however, is that nobody has vanished: Good men are still here, and 40+% of Washington, D.C. is just as black as it ever was.

They simply don’t want to associate with post-menopausal Karens who run the Democratic Party.

Because this wasn’t Houdini redux: men, young people, and minorities didn’t suddenly vanish into the ether. There was no snap-of-Thanos. Professor Dana Fisher’s theory — that disproportionately large numbers of “people of color” refused to attend a left-wing protest AGAINST Donald Trump BECAUSE of Donald Trump — is beyond absurd. It’s straw-grasping writ large.

Nobody vanished. They were driven away.

 

 

Let’s concede that it was both a bit humorous and tasteless for a parent to wish the president a Merry Christmas and a Let’s go Brandon in the same sentence. The bigger story is how this ham-fisted White House staff could have put their boss on that phone in the first place. They seldom allow him off the leash. Maybe this is just one more example of their incompetence.

Just look at the original Brandon. He won a race and now is having trouble retaining sponsors. He’s treated like a leper. Woke corporate cowards (like the ones who contributed generously to Black Lives Matter) run for the tall grass whenever they fear a backlash from the noisy Left.

In a larger sense the entire Let’s go Brandon movement is much bigger than a race car driver or even this president. There is a growing majority of Americans who are tired of being talked down to. They are frustrated. They are angry. They are sick of double standards and the doublespeak.

People are fed up and they aren’t going to take it anymore. 

The media is understandably nervous. They refer to this as all part of an insurrection. The truth is that a majority of Americans don’t believe that Trump colluded with the Russians. They do believe that the FBI illegally spied on his campaign and that there is something very suspicious about the election of Joe Biden.

Some 70 percent of Americans believe that the Wuhan virus actually originated in the Wuhan laboratories. Worse, that the research to make bat viruses more lethal to human beings was paid for in part with American tax dollars. This in spite of the lecturing and obfuscations by CDC officials which serve only to harden the opinions of those 70 percent.

The excuses and prevarications concerning our bungled and bloody retreat from Afghanistan reinforce the view that this administration is at once both inept and shameless. The admission that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs conspired with his Communist Chinese counterparts (without consequence) is beyond belief!

We are not supposed to see these double standards. This president made his first official act the cancellation of the Excel pipeline, effectively firing 10,000 hard working Americans. This followed shortly with the tacit approval of the Nord Stream pipeline from Russia to Germany. Americans must be vaccinated, carry proof, wear masks and present photo ID to travel. Illegal immigrants, not so much. 

We’re asked to pretend that there is no cost for trillions of dollars in new spending. Money that we don’t have on programs that cannot work. Just like we’re told that the inflation we see all around us is transitory and this spending won’t be gasoline on the fire. 

Crime is running rampant in our cities. Organized smash and grab robberies and carjackings may be common but they have nothing to do with the defund the police movement or liberal attempts to decriminalize crime. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

First the Left tried to pretend that critical race theory and bizarre sex education programs were not being taught to our kids. Parents knew better and when they took their complaints to the school board meetings our Justice Department labeled them domestic terrorists and dispatched the FBI to spy on them. When the Attorney General was called on the carpet he denied his own memorandum.

 

We see all of this. 

We hear the nightly scoldings. We see the dismissive arrogance of the elites. Dr. Fauci proclaims that he is the science and the science is him. Anyone who disagrees is a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.

The shabby attempts by this White House to smear Senator Manchin, calling him a liar, is but the latest example of their petty dishonesty. 

It’s not just that they lie to us. It’s not just that there are no consequences for their actions, it’s that they insult us and our intelligence. They treat us like children or fools. Or both. 

So Middle America found its voice through an expression that fits the mood. 

The Let’s go Brandon phenomenon is really the manifestation of all these feelings now boiling in the body politic. Just as a volcano trembles before erupting, Let’s go Brandon is a warning. How many Congressional Democrats will be thrown into this molten lava next November remains to be seen. 

But the Brandon movement isn’t going away anytime soon.

 I saw in the news that Xiden traded a Arms Merchant for that women's basket ball player....

    A few thoughts on this.......First off....WTF!,  Lessee we swap an Arms merchant that took several years of a sting to nail in a foreign country, and he was selling arms that were used in killing Americans and other people friendly to the United States, and we trade him for a Lesbian basketball player that hates America and trash talks the United States every chance she gets on Social media?......Good trade there Sport....I wonder about those hacks in DC on the Potomac what kind of brain dead bullshit was this trade, who thought this was an even trade?  Only Xiden and his administration would made a deal like this and brag about it, where the rest of the world is looking at us with pity and shame wondering what the hell happened to the Great United States, the Clowns are running the Circus I surmise to Xiden that this was a good trade because it panders to his base, you know the ones that are confused, POC's and they hate America.  Now she will come back to America, trash talk the States, and go on a "Victimhood" tour about her time in the gulug system for her stupidity because she thought her celebrity status would shield her like it does in the same place that she despises...Well guess what, it didn't but that part will be glossed over as she will get invited to the Whitehouse and at the same time there is a retired Marine that has been languishing there for 4 years and the Xiden administration didn't do shit for him because he wasn't a celebrity and didn't check off all the boxes necessary for the proper status in the progressive world.   What a Cluster..Foxtrot.

 

We finished the 2022 election cycle finally a couple of days ago and I can sum it up in one word..."Disappointment", Wat happened to the vaunted Red Wave?  Xiden and the Donks will be embolden to continue their policies.  I know that there was some hankie Pankie in AZ and a couple of other places...but nobody is bothering to do anything about it....Just in a hurry to bury it quickly before the normies get restless.

 

We had a record turnout here in Georgia for the election and the runoff.  It didn't matter, the usual candidates still screeched "Voter Suppression"  even though Warnock got reelected.  it was a nasty campaign, Warnock had 4 times the money that Walker (R) had and most of it was out of state money and he slung the mud big time.  Sure Hershel Wasn't the best candidate the GOP could have run, but the dynamics is that it had to be a black man to run against Warnock because the Donks would have turned it into a racial issue besides it being an abortion right issue.  

       Hershel did have a lot of flaws from failed marriages, to his domestic violence when he was younger to having a couple of his girlfriends get abortions, all of this happened before he "Found Jesus"

 

The 2022 Election is almost here, and after 2 years of democratic control, we have massive inflation, massive crime spikes due to the soft on crime policies of the Soros funded DA's.  We have huge spikes in fuel prices, we have had "supply chain" disruptions...or basically a lot of stuff that people expect to see in the grocery store isn't there. We have had draconian lockdowns and .gov in the CDC and other government officials working hand in hand with the democrats to help the democrats grab power and hold power all in the name of "The Public Good" and well after 2 years of chaos, the Normies are pissed and there is a huge electoral bloodbath expected where the donks are expected to lose both the House and Senate.  The Normies, most that are apolitical are angry that their regular world has been so disrupted by the shameless powerplay of the democrats and they intend to punish the donks at the polls.  But to me and many others there is a concern that they will cheat and be so obvious about it since they got away with it in 2020 they will do it again knowing that it don't matter anymore and that they plan on staying in power no matter what.

   I recently closed my Paypal account That I had since 2004,  I had used it with my EBAY account. Apparently Paypal decided to go "Woke" and "Penalize"people $2500 for "Misinformation", and I and many others have closed our accounts.  I had major concerns because my paypal was attached to my Checking account and has been for many years and having PayPal arbitrarily deciding to be the arbiter of what is right or wrong didn't sit well with me and I didn't want them see something on my social media and "fining" me $2500.00 because I said something that some woke scold in Paypal found "Offensive" and nail me for that money to punish me for "Wrongthink" and hitting my checking account, so I killed it.  Apparently it has made an affect, Payal was at $95 dollars a share, until this broke, and when I killed my account, it was down to $83 (now as of 11/05/22, it was $75)  Hey "FAFO"

Elon Musk Officially over Twitter and the people on the left side of the aisle have lost their mind, for years they controlled twitter, it was one big echo chamber and anybody that wasn't a "blue Checked leftist" was pretty much shouted down and buried.A lot of conservatives including President Trump had their account permanently banned.  Well Elon Musk has started laying or firing people at Twitter and the gnashing of teeth is glorious to see. 

        We on the conservative side have been making comments like that "They can mine coal" or something along that line after the wokescold being sanctimonious when Xiden started shutting down the energy sector putting thousands of people out of work and the comments on twitter was "They can learn Code" well the twitterites can learn to mine coal...or there are other employment opportunities for them....

 Meanwhile back to the Vaccine front, Apparently the Donk infected CDC has published their recommendations for vaccinations for children including all the covid vaxx including the boosters..

A lot of parents have adopted the "not no but Hell NO" attitude, but the School Boards and Teachers Unions are trying to link this with a health crisis and stating if your kid don't have the VAXX then they can't attend school, and in the blue areas this is getting a lot of traction, but in the red states there is a lot of pushback, I am glad that my son has graduated.

 

 

Apparently "The Atlantic published a Covid Amnesty Story"

Ms. Oster cites school closures as one example: “There is an emerging (if not universal) consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long: The health risks of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the costs to students’ well-being and educational progress were high.” (In the summer and fall of 2020, Ms. Oster herself favored opening schools.)

However, she adds, “in spring and summer 2020, we had only glimmers of information. Reasonable people—people who cared about children and teachers—advocated on both sides of the reopening debate.”

That’s awfully generous to Team Shutdown, which included all of the progressive great and good and nearly all of the media. Yet it was clear by summer 2020 that children were at extremely low risk for severe illness. They were also struggling with remote learning, as were their parents. All efforts should have been made to reopen schools, as Florida did in August 2020, and to keep them open.

But the teachers’ unions lobbied hard to keep them closed and succeeded in far too many places where they dominate local and state politics. Many big city school districts didn’t reopen until spring 2021. Chicago didn’t offer full in-person learning until last fall. The results in lost learning have been catastrophic.

Ms. Oster pardons Ms. Weingarten(The Teachers Union President) because “on every topic, someone was eventually proved right, and someone else was proved wrong” and “in some instances, the right people were right for the wrong reasons.” You can guess who the right people are.

This plea for forgiveness would be more plausible if the shutdown lobby had shown more willingness during the pandemic to listen to other arguments that proved to be right. Instead they dismissed and tried to discredit the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration who argued for focused protection of the most vulnerable while opening schools. Tech platforms censored them.

Ms. Oster says “most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.” But the teachers unions intentionally misled the public by hyping the virus risks for children. They did this to extort more money from Congress to “safely reopen” and compensate for learning losses from the shutdowns. Democrats gave them $122 billion last March, only about 15% of which was spent during the 2021-22 school year.

“Getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing,” Ms. Oster writes. But in Ms. Weingarten’s case, it was.

One certainty: The left will never forgive the shutdown dissenters, notably Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for being right.

 

       I recall being threatened with my job if I didn't get "The JAB", The social pressure to get "The JAB was unreal, from the media, from my friends, from everywhere,"Get the Jab" or you are subhuman scum that wants children and old people to die", kinda crap.  There was talk about stripping me of my rights, putting me in a camp with "Others of my ilk so we can infect each other like lepers" as the left raged on twitter and other social media post.  The holier than thou crap I dealt with for 2+ years getting sneered down and being treated like crap because I wouldn't take the Jab.  I have lost friends and colleagues over this.  My wife and son were treated like 2nd class citizens because of the "CovidKarens" and their behavior.

    Thats pretty much my attitude, I have the "I want Tribunals" forgive and forget is really hard right now, these are the people that shut down schools, businesses, locked up people for walking in the parks, and going to churches but allowed protest if they were of the certain political persuasion(Democrat) let cities burn, forced the police to back off thereby letting citizens to fend for themselves and a lot of people got killed and hurt. We went from Energy independence to Xiden begging the Saudi's to increase fuel production before the 2022 election hoping to postpone the expected electoral bloodletting that is expected after the nitwit shut down production in this country to appease his clueless base.  We have had criminals have a free reign because of the soft on crime policies of the Donk mayors and D.A's, We have had parents called "extremist" for opposing "CRT" and race based theory in their schools and the Xiden Dept of Justice sent the FBI to intimidate parents rather on criminals.  We have had a huge illegal groups swarming the border bringing a lot of fentanyl pushed by the cartels with them contributing to the opioid crisis Middle America is dealing with.

 

I can go on and on but the point is that the "normies" are pissed.  They had their parents die alone and all they got was "Tiktok" videos about how great the Medical was...unless you refused to get the VAXX then they fired you too and a lot of Dr's and nurses refuses to VAXX up and got unemployed and now are contract workers as the medical field tries to recover from the short sighted policies of Fauci and his ilk that for political expediency shut down the hottest economy in 30 years to try to push "Orange Man Bad" out of office.

Now they want amnesty...Like I said.....I am having a hard time being forgiving after the hell I and my family and friends went through for the past 2+ years.

The 2022 election is almost here, and there is a lot of concerns, I believe that if the election is fair, that the Donks will lose their ass, but they have no compunction about stealing and cheating, it is in their DNA to cheat because it is all about power and there is another concern...

      Democrats tend to have temper tantrums when they lose.....when they win, they are entitled jerks and rub it in the faces and go on power trips like we saw for the past 2 years.  Unless they cheat massively and I think this is likely they will get their clocks cleaned in 2022.  Voting is sacrosanct, it is the safety valve of our system, if they keep tampering with it to ensure their "Victory" people will no longer participate and start finding other ways to show their displeasure and that isn't good because "peaceful disobedience" only seems to work for the donks, if we use it we are extremist and have to be locked up and if you call someone something all the time, they become what they are accused of.

 

A couple of weeks ago Southwest Airlines (SWA) network crashed, unlike other carriers that use a hub system to feed their network, Southwest is a point to point carrier and  and their planes fly back from airport to airport whereas other carriers use a hub system to move passengers from point A to point B.  The other carriers even the "ULCC" upgraded their computer system but Southwest didn't do that, their computer system was much older than the other carriers and rather than spend any money to upgrade like the other carriers, they spent the money on other things.  Well that failure to upgrade bit them in the posterior...big time.  Their network crashed leaving passengers stranded all over the United States and also leaving crews with no schedules and no overnight lodging either.  Yep it was bad, any goodwell Southwest had got torched in a spectacular fashion.  I work for a competitor, and I felt bad for them, I hated seeing this happen, even to the Media Darlings of the Airline industry.  I remember my time at Ford Motor company and the "Firestone Debacle" and that hurt the Ford brand for a generation.

And a "Hold My Beer" moment came from our friends the FAA, you know....the "Friends Against Aviation", their computer network crashed....but it was a bit different for the FAA, what crashed was the "NOTAM" system, it basically tells pilots of any hazards on their routes, well that network crashed...

Well Compared to the Southwest Network, the FAA Network is positively antiquated,  it was the same one they were using in the 1990's, I think I heard the

 

9600 BAUD and ITP Handshake initiate when you tried to access the server.  Apparently updating the computers was less of a priority for the FAA than Southwest, but they had other priorities in mind than the computers...they had time to change the name of the NOTAM system from "Notice to Airmen" to "Notice to Air Mission"...Didn't want to Misidentify someone ya know...might "offend" someone you know...Make them cry......or something.

Its nice to see the government have their priorities in order.......

Meanwhile Xiden got busted leaving classified documents in the garage with his corvette when he was a Vice President,   The Donks and Media are saying that he could that because he was the VEEP. it was ok ..and they tried to pull a sleight of hand and notify the National Archives instead of the FBI.  Funny somehow this was different than President Trump and Mar-e-Lago.  I recall from my time in the Army and dealing with classified documents is that the President has ultimate declassification authority, not the VEEP, but to the Donks and the Media and to the weaponized DOJ, it is "OK".  And funny that Xiden's handlers tried to notify the National Archives instead of the FBI or the DOJ, ...

 

you mean the same DOJ and FBI that seems to have 2 different standards...They seem to be half assed on 'Antifa'' and "BLM"  whom are the foot soldiers of the Modern Left and the Deep State, they share the same ideology and beliefs, the Government hires the same people that tends to support those organizations.  I believe that this is a feature, not a bug.  Compare this with the zeal in which the DOJ has pursued the January 6th protestors.  This shows that there is a 2 stage justice system in this country and if you are related to the deep state or support their goals, they will refuse to prosecute or softsoap it whereas if you are a supporters of the traditional forms of American Government, the American justice system will be more vigorous in their treatment of you than if you are a communist.   Funny that...The double standard is applied if you and I who had handled classified documents, we would be making gravel for the Colonels driveway at "Leavenworth" but the *PIAP and other denizens of the deep state get a hard pass when they violate security regulations...Just ask Sandy Berger when he tried to swipe documents from the Archives, and they did nothing.

  *Pig in a Pantsuit(My Name for Hillary Clinton)      

   As far as affecting the dottering meat puppet Xiden and his handlers aspiration of a 2024 Presidential run, this remains to be seen if they will provide cover again through the media, Tech and pad the ballot boxes....again....or if they decide they want "Kneepad" Harris to replace him.  

     All I know that the 2024 election will be very interesting....in a train wreck sort of way. 

Meanwhile Xiden finally went to the border to check it out and he went to the part of the border that actually had a wall on it....but the irony was totally missed by the Xiden administration and the swarm of illegals continue to cross the border and New York Mayor Adams after bloviating about" all people Welcome"  and mentioning other buzzwords that are used by the modern left because they traffic in "feelinzs"

  So when the Texas Governor Abbott calls him on his bluff and starts sending busloads of illegals to New York City and other Liberal enclaves and basically tells them "You like them, you deal with them, Texas is tired of paying for the cost of the failed policies of Xiden and everyone else that love the illegals except in their backyard."

Meanwhile the Congress passed this huge pork laden boondoggle during the lame duck session as a last "Fuck You" to the American Taxpayer, 4600 pages of pork laden crap that they didn't even read, and billions for the Ukraine but no real money for our own border....Funny that.  And it basically puts the onus and debt on the new generation and what makes it worse is that..

18 GOP Senators voted with the Donks for that huge debt turd, they are more concerned about playing nice, more concerned about getting some of that deep state pork for themselves and currying favor, with such sellouts as these clowns, it gave the donks political cover that they can and will push off on the GOP on the next election cycle.......Assholes.

Meanwhile with the GOP taking over the house, they are promising a lot of investigations and hearings in the weaponization of the FBI, the clowns in the kangaroo Court of the J6 Hearings and other Donk overreachs including the use of the Tech giants to bury politically sensitive and embarrassing information on the Xiden Crime Syndicate like the laptop and the weapon purchases by Xidens son when he lied on his form 4473 that were "buried" that if we did it, we would have been hauled in front of a judge.

   The January 6 hearing despite spending millions of dollars, and releasing President Trumps Tax records, and the SSN of a bunch of GOPers....Haven't accomplished much of anything else...I will adopt a wait and see attitude if the GOP hearings uncover anything...but I ain't gonna hold my breath.

There is a movement in the Xiden Administration to ban your Gas stove...And go Electric. They are citing "Climate Change" as the reason....Same reason they are pushing those insipid electric cars on the American Public.  There is more to the story in my opinion..

..If they want to control you, all they have to do is cut the power.  Harder to do with Gas.  Something to think about......Its all about control, to put us "Kulaks"in our place.

 

And Finally You have noticed that all these healthy people are keeling over with heart "issues" and the "Experts" are dancing around the 800 pound guerilla in the room and coming up with all these funny reasons why all these people are dying. Pulling all these excuses out of their posteriors, everything from "Climate Change" to "Gas Stoves" to "Excessive Meat Consumption"..and other reasons that happen to fit in the pidgeonholes of stuff that the Modern Left wants banned...Funny that... they refuse to mention that all these healthy people have been VAXXED,      Nothing to see here....Move along ...Move along...Trust the Experts....The Same Experts that insisted that "Everyone HAD to get VAXXED or Lose their Jobs"

      Remember back in 2021 and 2022,"Get Jabbed or Else"   Now they won't discuss the 800 pound Simian in the room, it has been a huuuge money maker for Big Pharma, and a lot of congresscritter have stock in it as does Dr Death(Fauci).
