The above represents my mood over the past week as I have watched events unfolding in America, a land I love and have had so much admiration for during my life. What we are seeing is what we have known was coming all along; now it is here; every day something new and almost overwhelming in scope. The media plays a huge role in this as we all know; much time is spent seeking reliable information and coming to grips with events.
I find myself visiting Max Egan, The Dollar Vigilante, James Corbett, and The Amazing Polly, almost daily.
With the riots being this week's biggest story, I have so much material I am forced to simply make another page as soon as this is posted. It will be dedicated to BLM, Antifa, Democrats, the riots. There is just too much for one post. This week I have gathered some, what I feel, is good material, some of it controversial. Much of it is non-political, simply because we also need to smile. I have said, for years, if they could tax the energy expended to crack a smile, they would. Believe me, they are trying. As soon as this is posted I will get to organizing the rest of my offerings and post it later this evening.
The future as envisioned by the great David Dees. This is easily a decade old.
Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there. You are so much more important than you are given credit for. This is your day: lap it all up. Being a solid role model for your children is the greatest job you have been given in this life.
Major virtue signalling from Canada's Greens. IMHO she can just button up her opinions on looting! She is playing DEMOCRAT and we don't need that at all.
In China it is illegal to even think that this event took place.
I stumbled across this in an old folder last night. Interesting. It has been there for 8 or 9 years.
Innocence
Attitude
What a dream
This, er, woman encourages #BLM and Antifa activities but has just come out threatening anyone who attends religious (Christian and Catholic) services with jail due to "a raging pandemic". Just how deep does her hypocrisy run? But then she is also an Obama affiliate. Say no more.
Nice Irish boys.
And you thought YOU were locked down?
I even remember the smell of the ointment my mother used on the bandage she put on it. "The golden age" of inoculations before it all became big pharma business. I liked to poke the bandage.
The WHO has spoken, but (wait for it!) we won't get fooled again. Once
more, they've opened their inept, over-funded, Chinese-owned yaps to
spread completely incorrect information about SARS-CoV-2, then issued an immediate retraction when their lies were challenged.
In this case, we're referring to their announcement several days ago
that there was virtually no risk of contagion from asymptomatic
spreaders, as such cases were "very rare." Which meant that society
could reopen fully and, as long as someone wasn't running a fever or
hacking up a lung, social distancing and masks could be forgotten.
Hooray, right?!
Only they've now issued a "clarification" that what they really meant to say was that up to 40% of coronavirus transmission might be due to asymptomatic spread but "more information is needed." Information which they apparently get by spending way too much time on Facebook.
Let's be clear: Covid-19 is still a critically serious world crisis...and one which gets worse every time blatant misinformation from the World Health Organization spreads virally.
Some days just don't end well.
(((Guess where?))) Like the primitive photo-shopped smoke from the oven chimneys?
Racist much?

Have you ever said your prayers?

This Minneapolis Councilwoman insists the feeling fear when in danger is a product of "privilege"!
This is the sexiest looking desert ever. Honeyed figs and walnuts, fresh herbs.
Real? I hope not but it looks pretty real.
My favourite of the week:
Has anyone else here noticed that almost all the major cities where horrific police atrocities are taking place are run by Democratic Party mayors?
Mind you, this is also the same party whose presumptive nominee wrote
the draconian 1994 Crime Bill which imprisoned a generation of black
youth, militarized the police, and which is the main reason this country
is where it is today.
And I’m also still waiting for Noam Chomsky to take
another whack at convincing me that I should “swallow hard” and support
Joe Biden. Well, c’mon, bring it, ya doddering old fossil, ‘cos I’m
standing here, man.
As Old Lodge Skins famously said in the film Little Big Man ~ "Sometimes the magic works. Sometimes it doesn't." Today was a "sometimes it doesn't" for us.
We tried mightily to come up with a worthwhile post and some pithy wit,
but found our muse uncooperative. As muses are wont to be when the feces
hits the fan.
People are losing their careers for not kneeling before the New Taliban,
movies and television shows are being pulled from public view, Amazon
and Google have announced plans to cut off certain forms of
technological support for the police, a significant chunk of Seattle has
been commandeered by armed radicals who are getting no pushback from hamstrung law enforcement agencies,
the stock market plunged (after first enthusiastically running off a
vertiginous cliff, stopping in mid-air, briefly turning into a cartoon
"sucker," then plummeting),
and people are waking up to the fact that the coronavirus didn't actually disappear just because there was a bigger story in the news. Yow!
And so we struggled to find something to say. Thinking about the way
police officers are now being demonized, we thought about the children's
books of our youth which always depicted the police in a positive
light...
We looked for other old police-themed titles which might lend themselves
to a comedic updating, but came up dry. Not that we weren't pleased to
discover this classic...
But still thinking of old children's books as a good contrast between
the innocence we once enjoyed and the current destruction of our
culture, we thought about "Goodnight Moon," and thought maybe we could
write a parody along the lines of "Goodnight freedom, capitalism, and
western civilization."
Hmm. Not really good, but maybe if we diddled around with a cover for awhile, something would come to us (spoiler alert: it didn't)...
They must be Italian.
This cop was caught on camera breaking windows just before the Minneapolis riots broke out. The sound of breaking glass is an intoxicant to the rioter mindset and is a common act of the provocateur.
Syrians are tired of all this.
The sweetest baby opossum ever.
Another Stupid Trump cartoon. Absolutely SO LEFTIST a slant!
Found this in some folders and realized the image was EXACTLY how I think of Jared Kushner. So I tagged it. What do you think?
Another idiotic anti-Trump image:
Taking home dinner:
Klaus is discussing the Coronovirus situation and international finances
She's getting married.
I remember so many friends doing just this after high school. And even later. Will that ever return? Or that freedom? I don't think so. Buzzword is "staycation".
Tink!
Wondering if this might happen. Or if they will fabricate, as they so often do, to lenthen the lockdown on and on until after November. No strategy, however wicked, is off the table with the mad Dems.
Good morning, Noor. I like #125, the one showing the honeyed figs. If that's a desert, lead me to it! Some deserts are sort of sandy. Today's Morning Mistress is a refreshing sight too.
ReplyDeleteDang Mike does run a fabulous blog, doesn't he? In my travels I frequently find interesting lady images that I pass on to him. Many have appeared in his Mystery Box. They are just not appropriate for my blog but good stuff worthy of posting. That way I don't feel so guilty when I steal from him!
DeleteNo Calvin and Hobbes "libtard" comics this week, Noor????
ReplyDeleteThere are in the other cartoon post this week. There was so much I basically gave the lefties their own page: BLM, Antifa, Democrats. So I did a post for Blue Lives Matter and one for BLM/Antifa.
