Every day I go for one, if not two walks, and every day, I see discarded masks littering the streets and trails. Masks are the new floss pick, which were the new cigarette butts. Back when smoking was more popular and less dangerous, it was fairly common to see cigarette butts littering the streets and walkways. That waned as people started to give it up. So, we replaced it with floss picks. When floss picks arrived on the scene, people were discarding those on the streets left and right. You couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting one. But…
Who would you rather have in charge?
Leftists have an unquenchable thirst for power. They always have. It’s the nature of their personality. Leftists aren’t content to let people make the choices they think best for them. They’re not happy to leave things to chance. Leftists aren’t comfortable not knowing what people will do when left to their own devices. To get the power they crave, they’ll aggressively go to any lengths necessary. They’ll demonize half the country. They’ll destroy people’s lives. They’ll pit friends, genders, races, and even family members against each other. Anything it takes to win power and take control of the country….
Choosing sides
Everything the left touches becomes political, which means everything the left touches is divisive. Wherever people are minding their own businesses and living their lives the way they know best, inevitably the left will move in and insist they make a choice. Where people used to use a men’s or women’s restroom, the left had to make people choose whether or not they were for transgender people using one versus the other. Most people didn’t care. But now they had to make a choice. Where people used to just get along with their neighbors, regardless of skin color, the…
BIPOC is the new n*gg*r
When n*gg*r, or “the N-word” first appeared, it was used to describe black people. (The root word, “niger” is the Latin word for black.) There’s some debate about how derogatory it was intended at first, but it certainly ended that way before becoming a word not said. But the connotations of the word now live on in words and acronyms like BIPOC, or “black, indigenous, and people of color.” Either word, on its face, simply describes one’s physical characteristics. They’re basically talking about skin color. However, whereas “n*gg*r” speaks specifically about black people, BIPOC encompasses a wider demographic –…
If you can’t beat ’em…
What would happen if conservatives simply decided to join Antifa. Sure, the whole destruction, assault and battery, and getting in everyone’s faces things is pretty opposed to what most conservatives believe, but the ultimate target of Antifa isn’t far off. Antifa is after the powerful. Sometimes they get mixed in with Black Lives Matter activists, and that makes them seem pretty pro-communism. But if their really going to own their name – Anti-fascism – then how about conservatives join the movement, in mass numbers, and make them truly own it. Why don’t conservatives, who are also anti-fascism, join the…
The myth of the federal government
Thanks to poor (or sinister) leftist public school education, we’ve finally reached the tipping point when the majority of this country’s citizens no longer have a proper understanding of what the federal government truly is. Too many believe that we were all meant to be governed by the federal government. That the federal government was meant to enact laws, or sign dictatorial executive orders, that would apply to all of us. That’s not how it’s supposed to work. In our republic, the states were intended to have the bulk of the power. State’s rights. This is the idea that…
If I were Dr. Fauci
It’s a good thing that I’m not Dr. Fauci. I’m way too fascinated with the human psyche. If I were Dr. Fauci, I’d keep making stuff up and seeing just how far I could push people. I’d come up with all of these random edicts and rules, just to see what I could make people do. I probably wouldn’t even have to support my contentions or share any scientific rationale. But if I did, I think that would be even more fun. I’d just see how absurd of a claim I could make. I’d say things that run counter…
Grammarly nation
Every day, the race to digitize ourselves just picks up steam. A commercial for Grammarly, the writing assistant program, just caught my eye. It’s just one person after another talking about their inability to write a coherent email, paper, or note, and how without Grammarly downloaded on their machine, correcting all of their mistakes as they made them, they’d be lost. People don’t know phone numbers. They don’t learn history. They can’t do math. And they certainly can’t write (despite, ironically, all of the texting they do to each other). Why would anyone learn all those things when we…
You don’t put people to work
Joe Biden and pro-government elitists often use the phrase “putting people to work.” The problem is, you don’t put people to work. You don’t make them work. It’s not like they’re just out there waiting for someone to tell them what to do. In America, people go to work. They self-motivate. They get up out of the chair and get to work. They get busy. They move. They make things happen. They create. They generate. They motivate. Americans create jobs and opportunities, and when they’re successful, more jobs are created. And if others want those jobs, they step up,…
LGBTQ Day of Silence
Today is the LGBTQ Day of Silence. That means for just one day this year, the LGBTQ movement is going to shut the hell up and allow us all a day of peace where we can all go about our business without having to be angry about one group’s grievances. We can all treat each other with the normal respect we do, without having to worry about someone being offended, misinterpreting something they hear, or enduring some perceived slight from an unknowing fellow citizen. It’s the one day a year where nothing remotely, tangentially related to the LGBTQ movement…
