Imagine

 

  Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, introduced my generation to things other than previous time periods. Of course, we had the seemingly endless Vietnam War and subsequent loss of lives, but we also had the “mod” culture creating hep kids, along with their equally hep parents, via drugs and free sex.

Meeting in colleges and universities, these new free-spirited kids were encouraged to experiment with ways to soften the speed bumps in life’s highways, something these youngsters were told was germane to them – never felt or experienced by previous generations of shavers.

Together, these young pukes were offered alternatives to life’s angst-causing tension. To make this tension more palatable besides mainstream, the clinical term “stress” was created, and applied as an excuse for any and all shortcomings in life.

The cure? Sex, drugs, and rock and roll were the prescribed solutions to relieving stress, and the already long-indulging college professors were more than willing to introduce a ‘virgin’ group of stressed out students to coping with life.

But to make this societal leap across the chasm of morals, the normalization of taboo acts and items needed to be bridged.

Drug use, including the mundane smokable marijuana, plus intravenous heroin, and exotic cocaine, became readily available to most youngsters agog to experiment with new things to exorcise their stress.

This availability of stress relievers allowed kids and adults, alike, to enjoy life more by engaging in more sex. Unfortunately, all that sex came with a price in the form of unwanted pregnancies. Abortions were illegal so, a societal push was generated to legalize something called abortions.

A tidy term, abortions were highly glossed over by explaining them as a means to terminate pregnancies. Exceptionally light on the details, abortions became a legalized way to ‘have your cake and eat it, too.’

Using legislation to permit the unfettered extermination of unwanted babies, the term was quickly modified from abortion to reflect something more sedate; women’s reproductive health care. While shifting the blame from the potential mother to the unwanted baby, this avenue to eugenics seemed to open the door to debauchery, exponentially.

As means of reinforcement of this movement, the music morphed from innocent doo-wop and street corner harmonizing into ballads full of propaganda about drug use, as well as the elimination of religion – in particular, God.

Until World War II, mainstream music consisted of orchestras led by familiar names such as Kay Kaiser, Bennie Goodman, and Count Basie, to name a few, until rock and roll surfaced across radio airwaves, plus the still relatively new medium, television.

TV allowed listeners to not only hear the artists performing, they were could now also see their singers and musicians performing.

This new visual exposé showed the world boys and men sporting long hair, women scantily clad, musicians rocking with their guitars, with most wearing bell bottomed blue jeans. Times were changing.

But it was the songs themselves that influenced the direction of America through this cultural modification, for better or worse; there was no going back.

One of the more influential bands was The Beatles. Comprised of John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, this modest-size band from England brought a new sound, and new look, in addition to a new attitude readily accepted by the anxious youth.

The Beatles

Although exceptional, in terms of popularity and their ability to influence, The Beatles were decaying before our eyes. Being internally divided by their significant others, the longevity of this quartet marvel couldn’t bear the weight of its own success.

John Lennon, one of the primary song and lyric writers, felt compelled to pen a song titled “Imagine.”

Here are the lyrics in case you never heard this song to allow you to better decide if this was one of the earliest attempts to destroy America by removing religion and other norms.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today... Aha-ah...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world... You...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Such abilities to influence are rare, but to actually witness this effort of destroying religion, morals, and chastity borders on unbelievable.

Yet here we are about a half-century later debating as to just how our nation reached the current level of self-destruction through the simple changing of norms.

America spent the last four-years debating how a mentally deficient man could run – and win a presidential election – by hiding in his basement. With the compliant media pushing their agenda to prevent candidate Donald J. Trump from winning the race, the “news” we heard and saw was simply manufactured to fit an agenda.

With repeated drum-banging that awful Trump and his supporters are evil – even Nazi-like – the narrative was set to alter peoples’ minds in an effort to make a lie the truth.

Using racism, misogyny, and xenophobia as diversions, calling candidate Trump “Hitler” did no favors for the unity of America society. All the while, this tripe began having the opposite effect on a dissatisfied voting bloc. Suddenly, the complicit media found themselves awash in questions as to President Joe Biden and his meteoric rise to the Executive Office.

After a lopsided election, enough smart voters chose Donald Trump over mannequin Biden. And with this exposure of electing a fireplace log as the Commander-in-Chief, in 2020, the intelligent among us felt it was time for a change.

But now the 2028 wannabes are jockeying for position for their own run toward The White House. Names such as J.B. Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, all have their eyes on the prize, and will hold nothing back to achieve that goal.

Although more than three years away, these sleazes have been verbally maligning President Trump along with his societal-saving plans for a strong, safe, independent America.

With the election of Trump into the Oval Office for his second term, our changes for survival seem more promising for survival than a year ago. But it is time for imagining the hatred and slaughter of Jews by mentally deficient, self-anointed, wackos, being hidden by that tired media who excel at keeping important facts hidden.

Still, the Democrat clown show performs its antagonism against fellow Americans. It’s high time to begin legal action to stymie the hate and carnage against people they dislike.

Smokey the Cat

 

  If you never owned a pet, in general, or a cat, in particular, this is an opportune time to move on to something more productive in your day.

Of course you have countless choices of personal activity: cleaning the bathroom, painting the kitchen ceiling, or mowing the lawn, are but a few brilliant ideas to keep busy devoid of today’s story. Whatever you decide, it hope you will return next week for a subsequent story. Until then, have a nice day.

Since you’re still reading without a toilet brush in your hand, I’m going to dive right in. Those quitters don’t know what they’re missing.

Fifteen years ago, a tiny gray ball of fur appeared in the lives of my sainted wife and me. Turns out this fist-size globe of energy was a malnourished feral kitten.

He seemed delighted to bounce and roll in the autumn leaf-covered lawn – occasionally snatching up an errant magnolia leaf in his mouth. Stumbling as he approached me, as if to bring me a toy, this demon-in-disguise had the energy I had, only fifty-years ago.

Attempting to keep up with his antics, I quickly found myself becoming more enthused about entertaining this itty bitty kitty than going about my duties of winterizing the property.

Curious about the lack of running machinery noise to include riding mower, leaf blower, and weed wacker, my sainted wife appeared, as if by magic, to investigate the unnatural silence of pretty much any kind of work in which I was supposed to be involved.

“What is THAT?” she cried in surprise. And when I use the word “surprise,” it’s not in a good way. For example, asking about her new gift of jewelry that appears to consist of several one-caret real diamonds, would be a good surprise.

Her not being able to identify an overactive baby kitten does not necessarily fall into that category, though.

Smokey

I proceeded to explain the sexual gestation of felines, soon to be interrupted due to her next question about from whence it came, when she interrupted again. She began mumbling something incoherent about not having yet another pet, as well as a garbled statement regarding a divorce, when this endearing creature meandered over to her and promptly sat on her shoe.

Looking skyward into this giant’s blood-red eyes, this fur-covered orphan appeared to be heading into a new home.

Not only a new home, but a loving, caring doting home.

The following Monday, Smokey the Cat – his new moniker – made the trip to a local veterinarian to see if he had an identification chip; he didn’t. We all departed the vet after Smokey received his required vaccinations, a thorough examination, plus a brand-new
hatred for veterinarians.

It would appear as though his sore vaccination-filled butt was waning, in as much as he seemed to enjoy riding in a two-seater pickup truck. For your information, cats, unlike dogs, hate riding anywhere likely because each time a cat gets into a vehicle, the destination is the vet’s office.

Yet, he peered out the side window, taking in the sights until our return home. That was 5,475 days ago, and most of those days were jam-packed with adventures.

Many of those adventures have been subjects of stories on this blogsite since his arrival, in addition to the occasional gratuitous mention just for effect.

Throughout those years we discovered Smokey’s breed was that of a Korat, a pure breed of feline from Thailand. And, as with most every pet owner, their animal buddies are: the smartest, prettiest, quickest, funnest, tallest, shortest, bravest, fattest, or simply the bestest. Smokey was no different.

Still, none of that really matters because our pets are our best friends. Loyal, honest, caring, protective, and unconditionally loving. Our best friends.

They never came home with a bad report card, or were expelled from obedience school, complained about dinner, phoned for bail money, or became upset because they were safely indoors on those cold or thunder-filled rainy nights. They appreciated whatever they had.

Cheesy felt toys, balls of yarn, a crumpled piece of note paper, or an errant spider, often provided entertainment for our pets and their humans, alike, during idle times. Simple times.

Alas, Smokey left us for his trip across the Rainbow Bridge, “a place just this side of Heaven,” where pets go following their lives here on Earth. The poem entitled “Rainbow Bridge” is a touching tribute that simply, yet concisely, explains where Smokey and other pets reside awaiting to meet up with us, again.

And so, Smokey and his years of adventures will continue to live on through this blogsite for the foreseeable future. Godspeed, Smokey. Thanks for the memories.

And thank you for reading. Now go clean your bathroom.

Yogi-ism

 

  Yogi Berra, the late New York Yankees manager, is famous for not only his remarkable skill and subsequent success managing the Bronx Bombers, but also for his Yogi-isms. Yogi-isms are dashes of pure brilliance that Mr. Berra unwittingly transformed from mundane words into eternal gifts.

One such Yogi-ism is, “It’s like deja vu all over again.” Often attributed to his replying to a reporter’s comment on a missed World Series opportunity, this is our starting point for today’s story.

Legend Yogi Berra

Without offering an explanation or even a mediocre excuse, the legacy media, in lockstep with sleazy politicians, have begun resuscitating the tripe that worked in 2020 to help prevent Donald Trump from extending his first term into a second.

“Racist,” “bigot,” “stupid,” “old,” “unserious,” and “rich,” are just a few of the arrows fired at Donald Trump during the 2020 Presidential Election between candidates President Trump and Senator Joseph Robinette “Uncle Joe” Biden.

Of course, we now know that the only true accusation against President Trump is “rich.” Still, those slurs worked well enough to keep President Trump from regaining a back-to-back term. As such, former President Trump found himself with enough ample time on his hands to improve his golf game.

Trotting out anyone with an opinion, the legacy media, who couldn’t get President Biden to answer what day of the week it was, suddenly found itself agog with new unfettered access to a living human being, plus vibrant executive, all rolled into one package.

Unfortunately, the Democrats, led by Uncle Joe – which is highly questionable – left re-elected Donald Trump with a monumental mess beyond comprehension. Biden and his street thug lackeys regularly tossed lies about everything from illegal aliens to electric vehicles and the economy, regularly blaming “the other guy.” (He was so offensive no one could even utter the name ‘Donald Trump.)

But four years of propping up a cadaver-like Uncle Joe became tiresome and difficult for most motivated Democrat scum bags attempting to circumvent The Constitution and the rule of law. And so the exodus began.

With feeble, spineless Congressmen and Senators huddling in smoke-filled backrooms – licking each other’s wounds – they found themselves much too busy to effect action from a corrective standpoint.

Repeatedly summoning the usual suspects in their Death-to-America Campaign to appear before a hapless Congress, people like Alejandro Mayorkas continued to demonstrate his arrogance and disdain for America as he continually repeated the lie our “borders were closed.”

To punctuate this grand display of narcissism, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, border czar, was called to task over the sieve-like border wall. Rather than answer the question, Harris insisted she was not the border czar, similarly lying she had “been to the border.” Alas, she had not. Alas.

But the legacy media found nothing wrong with these overt displays of arrogance, coupled with lack of candor, from the Biden Administration. In fact, not only did they ignore the lack of nonpartisanship atmosphere, they actually helped cover it up – not unlike business in a cat’s litter box.

So it was with great ovation that Donald Trump handily won re-election to the presidency in 2024, only to be heartily greeted by that same complicit media who suddenly found their voices.

Rather than being ignored by the White House press secretary, or even an exiting Uncle Joe, the media discovered their 47^th President was not going to be doing impressions of a department store mannequin for the next four-years. What were they going to do now?

Backing up to the above second paragraph, “It’s like deja vu all over again.” Being hounded and harangued by this deaf, mute, and blind gaggle of Wannabe Gotchas these new attacks quickly leaped out of the starting gate almost before the signal bell sounded.

Throwing barbed questions and accusations at a new, fresh and intelligent White House spokesperson, the media found themselves angered that their application of Yogi-isms weren’t working as well as they had anticipated.

Using the ol’ hit-n-run tactic of tossing out a serious accusation against President Trump, then quickly publishing it before verification was complete, failed on several occasions. And that’s too bad.

Exhuming excerpts from the 2016 Russia Hoax, 2020 COVID-19 scam, the ongoing Climate Change Catastrophe, plus the manufactured fabrications regarding President Trump’s ailments having racist, bigoted, and stupid tendencies, would make Mr. Berra proud.

However, with tired, well-worn material from which the America-hating Lefties on the table, traction was not what Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley, were achieving.

In an effort to add fresh faces spewing the same ol’ invectives, all the above insufferable clowns welcomed two newcomers to their infamous “Squad.”

One is a Texas punchline to a joke named Jasmine Crockett. She a self-admitted DEI hire, and avowed anti-White racist, who popped up like the proverbial turd-in-the-punch bowl. Discovering just how many people could be influenced by her venom against civility, she instantly transformed into a camera whore without missing a step.

Often using a special dialect, this manicy representative has been gleefully lobbing invectives at anyone not black, female, Democrat, or filled with hate. This may be her signal to the Democrat Party that she desperately wants a shot at the White House in upcoming elections.

The other newest Squad member is a relic named Bernie Sanders. No relation to Colonel Sanders, Bernie is a long-standing Senator from ultra-liberal Vermont and has been so since 2007. An influential source in steering Vermont in a progressive shift, he is currently serving and running as an independent.

It seems as though Sanders is another one of those wannabe Communists who feel that he, along with travel buddy, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, should not subject to the same standards as the rest of us po’ folks.

Recently asked about his and AOC’s nation-wide travel on private, fuel guzzling jets, rather than commercial aircraft, Sanders indignantly retorted he shouldn’t be expected to have to wait in line to fly to the next propaganda fest on the sins of “oligarchy.” Amen.

Of course,
he and AOC probably don’t know the meaning of the word oligarchy. Kind of ironic, jetting about the country in first class while the less affluent need to wait their turn. Importance has its privileges, after all.

Still, it’s the constant attacks on President Donald Trump, as well as his supporters, that continue to divide our nation. But it’s not much different than when Yogi Berra attempted to use deja vu in describing the Yankees and their failed World Series quest.

Let’s hope hard-working Americans will see the forest for the trees in upcoming elections. These blood-sucking phonies need real employment, not jobs telling American taxpayers they need to pay more to finance nuttier ideas from these progressive kooks.

Although the time-proven invectives worked for the Democrats during the last few election cycles doesn’t mean they can, or will, work to further divide our sovereign nation.

Unless you want deja vu all over again, that is.

Conniptions

 

  Many of us have heard or even used the word “conniption,” but like so many who do use words, they don’t know what they mean.

According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, conniption is a noun for which there are several definitions. Its primary definition is “A fit of violent emotion, such as anger or panic.”

Without massaging or manipulation, the word conniption fits neatly – hand-in-glove style – into the behavior of Democrats, along with their international counterparts, toward President Donald J. Trump and his supporters, with little ebbing in sight.

We just passed the 100-days of Trump in-office mark on April 29^th. Throughout those days of rough waters Democrats have decided to roil the governmental seas even more.

Trump, inheriting incredible inflation, combined with an unprecedented invasion of our once-sovereign nation with undocumented transients, historic spending, all supported by lies emitted from a complicit press, virtually guaranteed the ruination of the once United States of America.

Let’s take a moment to examine just how we arrived at this surreal moment in history.

To summarize, the Democrats, in cahoots with the mainstream media, aka.: legacy media, ran a life-long politician whose mental capacity rivaled that of an aluminum folding chair. Riding high with successes in pulling the wool over the eyes of citizens during the COVID “crisis,” the media took liberties to continue the scam whilst protecting then-president Joe Biden.

Effectively snookering the populace with fabrications abetted by government doctors, plus anyone naive enough to believe their tripe, the united Democrats and their media allies conned Americans to cower and blindly follow instructions issued without rhyme or reason.

Realizing how much power they could wield if only they could remain united, the proverbial sausage was being manufactured at a breakneck pace. This cooperative effort resulted in more than 12 million illegal aliens entering the United States under the cover of lies that the borders were closed.

They were not.

Our nation found itself at odds with itself with the two sides arguing with each other over some long-forgotten scams called “sanctuary cities” and “sanctuary states.” These words drove a giant wedge between those who feel Americans have bottomless wallets, and those who knew otherwise.

Tossing around accusations such as not having compassion, hating ‘people of color,’ being xenophobic, “trying to keep America White,” plus being greedy, did little to calm already soaring emotions from the great COVID lie.

Further apart than at any other time in history, the American people found themselves attempting to decipher truth from fabrication with little luck.

All this contrived deceit further split the nation, turning it into something unrecognizable to nearly any true American. Suddenly, the Democrat-controlled Congress and Senate, along with the Democrat-run Executive branch, held absolute sway in passing anything and everything without an iota of dissent.

It didn’t take long for the Democrat goat rodeo to further manipulate our American ways of life in spades. With legislation targeting life’s basics, for instance: outlawing all internal combustion vehicles, air-conditioners, incandescent light bulbs, fireplaces, gas-powered yard equipment, wood pizza ovens, besides eyeing the elimination of privately-owned guns, America’s future appeared dim, at best.

Based in fantasy, such inane ideas began driving the country’s economic bus straight for the edge of the cliff. Using contrived employment figures to deceive our populace, Democrats, still backed by the legacy media, ushered in grossly mislabeled economic bills at a breakneck pace.

Adding to an already bloated budget, Congressional spendthrifts began writing bad checks for money the Treasury Derangement didn’t have. Under the guise of “crisis aversion” and “critical diversions,” Congress, the White House, and Senate, all circled the wagons to pretend this next spending bill was needed to simply survive.

This lack of candor was eventually realized when the new jobs/employment figures were released each month on a Friday – only to be “readjusted” downward because of low calculator batteries spitting out false numbers.

All the while, that illegal immigrant invasion continued to plague – overburden – our infrastructure in a financial manner never before seen. To this day, that financial epidemic continues; in just one month in 2024, “Texas hospitals were left on the hook for nearly $122,000,000 in health care costs racked up by illegal immigrants for one month,” according to Fox News. (Emphasis mine.)

That’s a lot money, for your information. This figure is for the first month the state began tracking the figures.

Meanwhile, that empty checkbook on which Congress has been drawing is currently $36 trillion in debt, and soaring.

In a feeble attempt of make-believe to stop the cash hemorrhaging, Dems have been giving it their best Academy Award acting performances. Desperately trying to do damage control – something for which they hadn’t planned because they were absolutely certain they would retake the White House, Dems opened up their secret Dybbuk Box.

For your edification, a Dybbuk Box is a Hebrew container that contains an evil spirit – a disembodied human, or Dybbuk – that attempts to cling onto another living human. Upon opening the Dybbuk Box, this malicious, wandering soul enters the “new” body, remaining there until it is exorcised.

Clearly behaving in heinous fashion, Democrats have been recruiting and indoctrinating less-than-intelligent students, as well as other ignorant voters, to continue that bus trip into total destruction of our God-fearing country. The Dybbuk was loose in America, latching onto any Democrat with a pulse.

By insisting men can become women, and vice versa, they have bastardized the once-gospel sex education classes taught in elementary schools. By distancing themselves from “women’s rights,” that Democrats so loudly demanded, they are now attempting to normalize boys and men competing against girls and women. Odd at best.

They legalized incarceration of individuals who failed to receive COVID vaccinations, but found it totally acceptable to allow unscrutinized entry into the United States of illegal aliens ignoring COVID, tuberculosis, even polio vaccination requirements.

This entire exercise quickly collapsed, though, in November 2024, with the election of Donald Trump as our 47^th President.

The once-complacent legacy media, plus the disinterested Democrat politicians, began scrambling to reorganize their efforts to crush any and all attempts of President Trump to return our country to honest, God-loving citizens.

Even following two assassination attempts on his life, President Trump continued marching toward his goals of making America great again, an acronym – MAGA – that has been transformed into a slur akin to the almighty ‘N-word.’

Badgering him and his supporters alike since his inauguration, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as other hapless wannabes, have rallied around each and every television camera and microphone to spew their invectives, albeit misplaced, leveled at people who are law-abiding citizens.

And just like dragging a $20 bill through a trailer park will attract an array of characters, those freaks began holding rallies, singing, dancing, and grandstanding on the Capitol steps all to make a point that Democrats have become more than just annoying; they are also an embarrassment.

This public display of insanity is far more than merely Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), it is bordering on clinical. With Leftist governors, senators, congress fools, and media resorting to threats – even demands – of violence, the opposition to law and order is on the precipice of dangerous.

Trying everything that previously worked to trip up President Trump in his first term, the Democrats now find themselves in a panic. Not to worry.

Democratic Congressclown Shri Thanedar, Michigan (D), decided his moral righteousness would best America in saving the Republic with an old, familiar trick: by filing articles of impeachment against President Trump. If you don’t believe these street clowns are crazy, continue reading.

Shri Thanedar, one of our stupidest
representatives

Representative Thanedar, an Indian transplant. is so morally superior to everyone else, he plum forgot to mention his own faux pas of some ten-years ago.

Oddly enough, it seems as though “Thanedar left more than a 100 dogs, and 40 monkeys to starve to death in cages after testing chemicals on them when his business went bankrupt,” per Michigan GOP Senator Aric Nesbitt. Oops!

It would do our rebounding nation a lot of good to continue to watch the Democrats and their media cheerleaders do back flips while lying about President Trump’s accomplishments.

These fine examples of conniptions are the result of being caught telling repeated lies, interwoven with hate and unwarranted, misplaced hate.

Here’s a special personal note to Democrats: Grow up!

Enough already.
