One of the things that tend to irritate me is when people say something so obviously contrary to reality and expect me to play along. These tweets are a great example.

Funny how corporations magically become greedy only when the left is in power isn’t it?

Or this bit of nonsense:

Yup Donald Trump slaughtered them all and put them all in a mass grave but on January 21st 2021 like John Cleese’s Character that was turned into a Newt they all got better.

I had a Lesbian co-worker years ago who was convinced that Donald Trump would put her in a concentration camp if he was elected and the lack of being put in the concentration camp during the Trump years never convinced her otherwise.

As you can see fame is not a cure for this inability to see reality

Bill Mahar tried that same thing with Megan Kelly, it didn’t go well.

And sometimes even the most intelligent celebs made really dumb moves to sell a meme:

Seriously? Cleese is trying to sell Trump as mentally impaired when he’s running against Biden? Cripes even Bill Mahar won’t play that game.

But even with all I’ve seen the most incredible bit of BS I’ve seen pushed at me was this:

Because I do the shopping in the house and have for years and that very day I went to the soda aisle and for the first time ever saw 2 liter bottles of soda offered at 2 for $5. I grabbed a cheaper brand and went to the frozen food aisle figuring to buy some Michelina’s frozen Penne & pasta meals & maybe a fettucine alfredo as they are a cheap alternative for lunch. They’re normally a buck each but I had seen them as high as a buck and a quarter lately.

They were $1.50 each A 50% increase over the Trump years and remember these are the bottom of the line in terms of price (not in quality however they are rather tasty).

So imagine what went through my mind when I saw this:

Why on earth is this stuff effective to some? The answer comes from human nature.

People hate to admit they were wrong, to notice the crashing economy, the rampant antisemitism, our rejection around the world, the abandonment of our allies, the massive amount of illegal immigration, the emptying of our strategic petroleum reserve all of the layoffs nationally and of course the President’s inability to walk or talk or complete a speech without a long list of corrections coming out from the White House is to concede that perhaps they were wrong for either their support for Joe Biden or the opposition to Donald Trump or both.

And to make that admission is more than they can bear.

My Pastor at St. Bernard’s Parish at St. Camillus church often talks about seeing yourself in the light of truth and that part of reason why so many choose hell is they give the choice of seeing themselves in the light of truth and accepting mercy and denying that truth for all the sufferings of hell they find all the torments of the damned preferable to the uncomfortable truths about themselves.

The truth about Joe Biden in general and the party they have adopted not as a means to a political end but as their religion is too much for them to bear.

Rather sad actually.

It is exceedingly obvious that Joe Biden’s handlers will load him up with enough stimulants to animate a corpse so he can appear marginally coherent for the upcoming debates.  That was the approach they used during the last State of the Union Adress.

I thought it would be a fun bit of political satire to come up with some truly off the wall and absurdly ridiculous ideas that Biden’s handlers could also use to make him appear to be coherent.

One of the more amusing scenes from Harry Poter novels occurred in Prisoner of Azkaban when they used the locomotor corpus spell on Snape.  Am I a bad person to laugh out loud at a mental image of Joe Biden bobbing along like a Thanksgiving Day parade balloon with his head lolling to the side?  Is that any different from the way he normally appears in public?

Joe Biden could not actually become an Inferius because his body is still alive.  Mentaly he definitely would qualify.

The Weekend at Bernie’s approach would also be quite humorous although the services of a good ventriloquist would be needed.  Jeff Dunham would not be available because he is not a Biden supporter.

A Vulcan mind meld would work but would probably be too traumatic for the Vulcan.  Could you imagine wandering through the empty wasteland of the remnants of Biden’s brain.

I’ve seen many movies where voodoo was used to animate corpses.  Would turning Joe Biden into a zombie actually be an improvement?

Alien parasites would also work, like those in Robert Heinlein’s Puppet Masters.

There are just so many options available to Joe Biden’s handlers if they really wanted to be creative. 

…are the same people who insisted that this wasn’t true:

Last month AstraZeneca admitted for the first time in court documents that its covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect in an apparent about-turn that could have paved the way for a multi-million-pound legal payout. This could theoretically become a landmark legal case, although there have already been obstacles for those seeking justice. 

The story of Alex who lost a leg due to the Vaccine has several interesting twists and turns but the most telling are this:

I don’t blame the public; most are just going with what they have been told. And if the public see papers like Rolling Stone [Alex was on the front cover in January 2023] labelling me as an antivaxxer and a conspiracy theorist, that gives them open free game to give us all the abuse that you can imagine. You wouldn’t believe some of the things that have been said to me: ‘You should have died’; ‘You should have lost both legs’; ‘Could you not have lost your tongue?’ I have been called a grifter. I am still trying to get my head around that one. A crisis actor – I was also called that once. That was quite impressive.  

and this:

I was interviewed on Indian TV and I found out that they have used 1.7billion does of AstraZeneca over there. Half the population. I was told privately that they are having a massive problem because their government won’t even talk about it. So this is global, it is not just one place.  

Never forget two things:

Conventional Wisdom is always correct right up until the day it’s not.

If the steal had been unsuccessful and Donald Trump had been sworn in the same media people who insisted that the vaccines were safe and excoriated those who pointed out basic facts that suggested otherwise would have been all over this story from the start because they would have blamed Donald Trump for every single injury they caused.

Reality is, it doesn’t care how you vote.

Update: The making of the green

By Christopher Harper

In my successful efforts this week to avoid the nattering nabobs of negatism, I

turned to American historian Joseph Ellis, the author of a wonderful 2001 book

about the revolution.

In eloquent and thoughtful chapters, he explores important episodes about

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton,

James Madison, Ben Franklin, and John and Abigail Adams.

An exploration of Washington’s Farewell Address swept me away from the

bickering of talking heads and ignorant “experts.”

In 1796, Washington had decided to retire after two terms as president. But he

wanted to leave the country and the government with some wisdom before his

departure to Mount Vernon.

As Ellis notes, Washington makes three important points:

–Political parties may do more damage than good to the country.

“They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force;

to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a

small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to

the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration

the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than

the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels

and modified by mutual interests.”

Washington’s concerns were on the mark. Within months after Washington’s

retirement, the government became divided between the Federalists and the

Republicans.
