Biden's Big Adventure

Every dictator and autocrat has had a Ministry Of Truth, a department of propaganda.   

Biden just joined them.

Personal Pronouns

 Putting your pronouns in your profile indicates that you pretty much fail at being a decent person.

Change my mind.

I promise to stay as far away as I can...

The Truth In Two Photos

 

Is It Just Me, Or Does Anyone Else See It ?

 Is it just me, or does anyone else think our new Mistress Of Truth resembles the fake female swimmer ?  (Mistress Of Truth is in the top photo)

And just look at that smirk and the crazy in the eyes.  "I have the power, and there's nothing you peasants can do about it."

Then there's this doctored publicity photo, which reveals what she really wants to do...

Where Is The Outrage From PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) ?

 

Biden's Energy Policy In A Nutshell

 

Choo-Choo Papa And Mama Aggie

 This is a picture of my paternal grandparents, Choo-Choo Papa and Mama Aggie.  We called him that because he drove a train for a steel mill in Birmingham, Alabama.  They lived on Avenue G in Ensley, which used to be a tidy suburb of Birmingham.  Much like Birmingham itself, Ensley is now a shithole.

More about them in a later post.

The Court Decision That Invalidated The Federal Mask Mandate

 The Florida District court judge didn't overstep her bounds, but rather ruled that the Federal government didn't follow the law.   That's her job.

The Biden Laptop

 I think that from now on, the infamous laptop should be referred to as "The Biden Laptop".

My Mother

 This picture of Mom was taken sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s.   My sister looked amazingly like this when she was about 12 or so.

Granddaddy Joe

 This picture of my grandfather was taken sometime in the 1970s.

My Great-Granddad's Farm

 The picture below with the donkey was taken on the farm that my great-granddad moved to sometime between 1900 and 1910.   

My grandfather Howard, whom my sister and I called Grandaddy Joe, lived almost his whole life here.   Grandaddy Joe bought out his brothers and sisters with money earned from this farm.   

My mother was born here in 1928, and lived here until her mother encouraged her to see what else was out there, telling Mom that she can always return, but she should make that decision from a position of knowing what else is available.

Grandmama Joe was a wise woman.

More about my grandparents in a future post.

MLAs (Multi Letter Acronyms)

 I wish that people would follow the practice of defining acronyms the first time they use them.

There are some of us who aren't cool enough to know what is meant by terms like QE (Quantitive Easing).

See how easy that was ?

Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls

 Joey Pudding Cup's days are drawing to a close.

Guess who finally showed himself...

Ukraine

I don't know...  I keep asking myself what our reaction would be if Canada wanted to give Vancouver Island to China, to use as the Chinese saw fit.

 

Two Quotes By C. S. Lewis That Apply To The Current Situation In Canada

 “I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of "Admin."   The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid "dens of crime" that Dickens loved to paint.    It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps.    In those we see its final result.   But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.    Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern."

 

 

 

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.  It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.   The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

With A Picture

I thought I'd try one with a picture and some text.

This picture was taken on my great-granddad's farm in Missouri.

That seems to have worked, but the text at the top doesn't line up.   I've just previewed it, and the photo shows up as a blank box.   I uploaded the photo (rather than copy and paste), and it shows up now.

I'm going to hit "publish" and hope for the best...
