Biden Bends the Constitution Against Landlords

(Image by Gary Varvel)

Last week, Zhou Bai Den via the CDC issued a new eviction moratorium after the federal ban lapsed.

In Sean Reynolds' latest Summit Properties NW video asked:  Since when does the CDC have the authority to ban anything?

While the Harris-Biden Administration plays Marxist games...

...the eviction's moratorium 2.0 squeezes small-time landlords.

Crooked Joe even admitted he's just "...buying time...to keep this going..." in order to keep bucking the Supreme Court's July 31st deadline.

In a sane world, China Joe's actions would ignite a firestorm for his impeachment.

But we live in Clownworld.

I chose this topic because, pardon the pun, it hits home with me.

Up until March I rented-out a house I bought back in 2011 after my divorce from my second ex-wife.  In the spring of 2013, I remarried, moved out, hired a property management company, and began renting my house that fall.

In 2015, the property management company was under new ownership and my third tenant moved in.  She was an elderly woman and was receiving funds from Washington State's Section 8 Housing Program for low income & disabled renters.

When I signed my initial landlord contract, I specifically stated I did not want any Section 8 renters.  However, the elderly woman was a friend of the new owner--and she didn't review any of the contracts of her newly acquired business.

Receiving monthly rental checks was nice, but my anxiety increased with each passing year.  The tenant had custody of her grand kids and great grand kids.  Her kids had a sketchy reputation and I'd often see a few never-do-wells hanging out at the house.  Meanwhile, the property manager was getting flakier and flakier, making it harder to schedule any routine maintenance.  (The office assistant confided in me that she was worried her boss had fallen off the wagon).  

Then my rental checks started arriving in an erratic manner, and one month I didn't receive a check at all.  The property manager was "at a loss" as to why I didn't receive that payment. 

But having a tenant under Section 8 turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  While other landlords were hung out to dry, I was still receiving rent money via the county government.

Two weeks after the 2020 Election, my tenant called me directly to ask if I'd talked to the property manager.  Apparently she was withholding my tenant's security deposit, and ducking her phone calls because my tenant moved out.

My wife and I acted fast.  My wife called a realtor she knew, a young lady that grew up next door to my wife.  Two days later I met with my realtor, and signed the contract.  Within a week the interior was repainted, damaged appliances and carpeting were replaced.  A week later the house was put on the marked and I had a buyer within a few days.

Then things slowed to "glacial speed," and I was anxious to get the deal closed before Inauguration Day.

First, my perspective buyer got laid off, which halted the home loan application until she could prove she had 30 days of continuous work experience.  

This delayed the sale until mid-January, but shortly after Biden was sworn in--interest rates went up, so the buyer had to renegotiate her home loan and asked if I'd give her a $3000 credit to the closing costs.

She had to move out of her apartment by 1 February, so my realtor suggested to have the buyer and her husband move-in and rent my house on a week-by-week basis until the deal was closed.

By mid-March my rental house was officially sold.

Talk about dodging the bullet.

I'm so happy to be out of the Landlord Business with only one missed monthly check.

I was afraid I'd end up like this guy:

Even though there are alternatives landlords can pursue they all sound like bureaucratic hassles to me.

Best wishes to all you landlords out there, you have my sympathy.

Heat Wave in Washington State

(Image from USA Today)

 I haven't blogged about the weather here in WA State for a long time.  

But now we're facing a Heat Wave with today's temperatures peaking near 90 degrees.

Then tomorrow through Monday (26-28 June), temperatures are forecast to be between 101-112 degrees.

Seattle hasn't seen temperatures like this since 2009...


(Image from History Link)

...in fact, I did a quick post about--lost now, somewhere in the Station's archive. 

(Jeez!  Have I been blogging for THIS long!?).

Anyway, the National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warning for all of Washington State.

People from just about everywhere else in America make fun of us for being unable to "take the heat."

But out here in the Pacific Northwest, fewer homes are airconditioned, but there's a a lot more than there use to be.

No matter where you are in the US this summer--stay cool & hydrated.

Zhou Bia Den--America's PROTUS

(Image by Henry Payne)

 For the past few weeks I've been distracted because I've been recovering from surgery while dealing with health, finance and family issues.

Even though I was resting well during my convalescence, I wasn't in the mood to write about any or all the evens that've transpired since my last blog post.

I happened to watch Biden's first press conference, only because I was on duty that day, and my supervisor wanted to hear it.  (Normally, my coworkers & I usually leave the TVs in our control center on mute).

I can't say that I was "glad" to have watched the full ordeal, but it certainly was a shocking eye-opener.

"Zhou Bia Den," as sci-fi author and blogger, Sarah Hoyt, calls him, is not capable of being the President of the United States (POTUS).

Even if there truly were "no evidence of [the massive, over-the-top] voter fraud" during the 2020 Presidential Election, I was stunned to see Biden as America's puppet ruler--PROTUS--(Puppet Ruler of the United States).

I may not have been up to snuff about blogging during my post-surgery recovery, but I'm not totally out of it like Biden is. 
.  
Tucker Carlson said the so-called press conference was slow and painful.

Yes, it was--especially for those of us who didn't vote for him.

Mark Steyn was particularly disgusted with the White House Press Corps, who went along with letting Biden's "senior moments" slide. 


Not me.

Zhou Bia Den spent his entire adult life as an incompetent and corrupt politician.  About half of American voters (now often considered "domestic terrorists") don't like the direction Biden's handlers are cooking-up for us and our country.


(Image by Gary Varvel)


Especially since the "fix was in" right from the get-go.

Every conservative commentator, pundit, and small-time operator, like yours truly, believed Joe Biden was a "Trojan Horse," "Empty Suit," or "Deep State Candidate."

An orchestrated plan to put have "the first woman of color" POTUS--Kalamity Harris.

Prior to the first--and most likely last--Biden Press Conference, the White House Communications Office announced that official publications will refer to the current regime as the Biden-Harris Administration.

And it's not just Biden's rapid mental decline that's an issue.  A couple weeks ago, "Sleepy Joe" stumbled--multiple times--while negotiating the stairs up to Air Force One.

(Image by Al Goodwyn)

Biden's First 100 Days in office may also be his Last 100 Days.

And if so, his successor will still have plenty of issues to slip on...

(Image by Gary Varvel)

...there are already "warning signs" for Biden.

Then They Came for the Muppets

 

(Image by Tom Stiglich)

Just when you'd hope the Wokestapo would run out of items to be offended about--they still manage to find something to get triggered about.

A few days ago, Disney added an "Offensive Content" label to The Muppet Show.

What the "offensive content" is remains unclear, and like everything other form of censorship and Cancel Culture, the vagueness is a deliberate attempt to keep normal people off-balance and even afraid to engage in wrongthink.

With the drastic increase in censorship since "Zhou Biden's" handlers keep telling him he's president, I've been posting more political content directly on Facebook.

I try to take a swipe at Cancel Culture put a humorous spin on my such posts, in what I call Your New Order Humor Break for Today.

Here's my recent one on this topic du jour...

Your New Order Humor Break For Today:

Comrades!  You may have heard that the Disney Division of the Ministry of Truth placed a warning label on The Muppet Show.

We're sorry we can't tell you what The Ministry deems offensive--because you might find such knowledge offensive.

Remember:  Censorship is for your own good. 

My wife's a big fan of the Muppets, and I'm glad we have the whole set on DVDs.

America Is Burning (In More Ways Than One)

(Image by Tom Stiglich)

 Yesterday was the 19th anniversary of the September 11th Attacks.  

Everyone promised to "Never Forget," but in The Year 2020, NYC Dimtards did just that.

While I'd like to rant-on about leftist and media hypocrisy throughout the pandemic...

(Image by A.F. Branco)

...I have more immediate issues to discuss.

Primarily, the numerous wildfires burning throughout the "Evergreen State."

(Image by Steve Breen)

A couple friends and family members already had to evacuate their homes and a couple more are standing by to do so if the blazes get worse. 

The only consolation is that us Washingtonians don't have is it's not as bad as in Oregon or California.

Yet.

The wildfires, coupled with the effects of the Chy-Nah Virus lockdowns are making the West Coast look completely dystopian. 

Due to the Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) I started contracting last year, (but wasn't diagnosed until 5 months ago), I've had to "shelter-in-place" for the past few days due to the unhealthy air quality levels.

But the wildfires aren't the only thing "burning" America, and making daily living "unhealthy."

The Kalamity Harris Basement Biden Campaign continue the Big Lie that voter fraud and rigging the 2020 Presidential Election are Fake News.

(Image by Gary Varvel)

Then there's the Dimtard Mafia/Nazi-style threat:  Creepy Uncle Joe wins the election--or cities will burn.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Meanwhile, as the Dimtard coup plods on, major cities, like BigApplestan, are dying--and not coming back.

(Image by Lisa Benson)

People with the means and motive are bailing out of metropolitan areas before the powder keg goes off.

Even if America doesn't "explode" on November 3rd, 2020--why live in a shithole?

Media & Democrat Gaslighting About the Riots Continues


(Image by Chip Bok)




In addition to frightening every decent human being, our Dimtard-ruled cities are being trashed.

(Image by Pat Cross)

But the Ministry of Truth, activists, and the Dimtards continue to parrot the mantra that the on-going unrest are "peaceful protests."  For example, ABC News transmitted a tweet about how a peaceful demonstration in Oakland, CA "intensified" to cause property damage. 

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Even when Portland's Antifa leader openly declared her goal is to overthrow the United States, at least one Dimtard still tried to claim the the mayhem is merely mythical.

(Image by Gary Varvel)

He, along with every other Dimtard are brazenly lying to the American people, especially when "peaceful protesters" show up armed with improvised weapons and even explosives before the "peaceful protest" begins.  

Regardless of how you want to spin the terms, the lawlessness leaves citizens, like those in Seattle, on their own, while the mayor spins her "martial law dry-run" conspiracy theory. 

Two days ago, Seattle's police chief and mayor held a press conference to discuss this past weekend's "protests." 

Local news media continue to call the violence "protests" even when 60 police officers were hurt and 3 fires were set last Saturday night,

When I'm out driving around I like listening to music from the Seattle FM stations.  But even the DJs, which until now have been mildly entertaining without being too political, have become Baghdad Bob Mini-Mes jabbering newspeak about the riots.  So I'll be doing even more channel surfing while driving.

Meanwhile, Portland's mayor demanded a a "ceasefire," as if the Rose City's merry band was valiantly fighting against an invading army.

(Image by Chip Bok)


As of two days ago, the "not riot" rioting continued. 

After the Kavanaugh Show Trial two years ago, I stopped paying attention to any congressional hearing.  

I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching Tuesday's embarrassing spectacle against AG William Barr. 


Anyway, the rioting is just one symptom of what could be our nation's cultural suicide.  

We know where the Dimtards and their Antifa/media allies stand...

...the question is:  How long can us decent folks continue to stand against them?

Ministry of Truth Still Spouting the OrangeManBad Narrative

(Image by Michael Ramirez)
Well, it's been clear to everyone who isn't shilling for the Chicoms that China lied from the get-go about the Covid-19 outbreak.

And Chicom government is still lying.

It's lying about their death toll (which could be as high as 42,000 to 46,000).

It's lying about "flattening the curve" of the infection rate.

And it's lying about the defective medical supplies shipped to various European countries.

Not to mention their on-going disinformation/propaganda campaign that the Kung Flu was cooked-up by the U.S. Army.

Now there's speculation that China's continued lying was more than an attempt at "saving face"/CYA (Cover Your Ass).  It was an attempt deliberately wreck every other countries' attempt at combating the outbreak.

The Chicom government has been ably assisted by the Chinese World Health Organization in perpetuating their lies and continues to praise the PRC (and deny the existence of Taiwan).

Meanwhile, here in America, during the on-going economic shutdown and quarantine edicts, it's still all OrangeManBad all the time.
(Image by Tom Stiglich)

From the top: There was two-time presidential candidate loser Hillary Clinton makes a Wu Flu joke while Americans are suffering and dying, and her media sycophants perpetuated the Narrative.

On top of this, the non-FOX News media want Our Grand Nagus' Coronavirus Press Conferences shut down.  There's even a petition going around to get the press conferences cancelled.

Their attempt at painting Trump with "blood on his hands" is backfiring.

True, Our Grand Nagus was slow on the draw--but so was every other world leader, operating on the premise the Chicom government was being honest (but this hasn't stopped the fake news perpetuated by the media).

Yeah, our "super-smart" elite continues to shine during this crisis (while covering for the Chicom government).
(Image by A.F. Branco)

And it's not just the "super-smart" in the media that are propagating Chicom propaganda.  A group of Congressional Dimtards actually believe the Chicom numbers.

Fortunately, the "internet is forever," as there's Nancy Pelosi encouraging San Franciscans to visit Chinatown and Bill DeBlasio encouraging people to gather for Lunar New Year.

(Image found on Facebook)

Despite Dimtards stepping on a rake, and not advocating Social Distancing, the OrangeManBad Narrative not only continues, but has spilled over to anyone actually trying to help--like the My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell.  Or that Christians in NYC, are building hospitals will "kill gays."

The only curve the Dimtards are interested in flattening is Our Grand Nagus' chance for re-election this November.

(Image by Henry Payne)

They've already launched another investigation.

(Image by A.F. Branco)

And the bad news continues.

The Dimtard Governor of California is looking at the pandemic as an opportunity to create a "new Progressive Era." In other words:  The Coronavirus Tyranny is already upon us.

The Number One aspect of this New Progressive Era is the current heavy-handed attempt at attempting to curb gun sales along with not responding to a plethora of emergency calls.

But if you have the misfortune of living within the People's Democratic Republic of Seattle, one can get arrested for "hate speech" (translation--saying mean things to someone).

Meanwhile, back in Chicomland, the wet markets have re-opened which is a reckless disregard for global obligations.

Despite all the bad news, there's a few silver linings:

Social Justice seems to be waning.

Fringe, wacko positions held by colleges will be completely exposed.

Celebrity culture is collapsing.

True, they're thin silver linings, but we need all the good news we can get.

And at least people are waking up to the threat posed by Communist China.

In the meantime, while we're all sheltering-in-place, stay healthy and stay positive.

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

Update, 0600 hours, 3 April 2020:

Last night WA State governor extended Stay-At-Home order until 4 May.

The growing concern is:  How long can an economic shutdown last?

What's the "New Normal?"

PC Overrules Pandemic Concerns

(Image from:  Military Humor)


I've been meaning to write about the latest developments in the Chinese Coronavirus Pandamic earlier and more extensively, but last weekend I came down with the flu.

Then four of my coworkers got sick.

I ended up having to get screened--twice--just to make sure I didn't have the Chinese Coronavirus.  The current protocols used by medical facilities are that if someone tests positive for flu, then they don't have the Chinese Coronavirus.

But apparently this "either/or" logic is being hotly debated.

I'm still getting over the effects of--whatever it is I got.

Even if I were healthy, the repercussions of this pandemic are unprecedented in our lifetime--from school closures, business closures, city lockdowns, border closures, panic buying, hoarding and price-gouging--are too overwhelming for me to cover the full details about the Chinese Coronavirus.

Which, according to the media minions suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, is a racist term.  Not to mention "Wuhan Virus," or even the "Kung Flu."

Because maintaining political correctness overrides national, even worldwide, public safety.

Libtards like Stephan Colbert are trying to gaslight Americans into thinking news agencies only called it "Covid-19."  (Be sure to watch the MRC TV video embedded in the article).

But as Ben Shapiro reminds us:  The Coronavirus is the "Chinese Virus."

The Chinese government lied about the outbreak from the beginning and destroyed evidence of its origin.

And thanks the work of the globalists, this isn't the first time China's poisoned America.  There's also a lot we don't know about the Chinese Coronavirus.

At least Our Grand Nagus has the courage to slam China's disinformation campaign that the virus was created by the US military, especially since he's warning us about China, even before he was elected.

I wish I could say the same about the libtard media who are taking China's side and are more concerned about identity politics than the health and safety of innocent people.

Hopefully, fewer of us will contract the illness than is currently estimated, our lives and livelihoods won't be too severely impacted, and we'll all learn the right lessons.

The Coronavirus Pandemic Panic

(Image by:  A.F. Branco)

I've been off duty from my job at Washington State Emergency Management for the past several days.  So I'm not sure what I'll be "walking into" when I go back to work later this week, especially since our governor declared a state of emergency.  In the meantime, I've been getting a lot of word-of-mouth reports.

During my staycation, one of my close friends informed me of the first Coronavirus death in the US (now up to 9 in WA State), while at lunch on Saturday.

Then as the work-week began, there was a run on various stores in my local area.  Friends at the local gym told me shelves were devoid of all sorts of goods.  Bottled water, bread, cleaning wipes and hand sanitizer were popular--and now scarce--items.

Good thing I learned to have small stockpiles of things for times like this.

While shoppers were stripping the store shelves bare, Our Grand Nagus increased the staffing of the Coronavirus Task Force.

But the Dimtards and their mouthpieces at the Ministry of Truth aren't "...letting a good crisis go to waste."

In the Coronavirus Case--blame Trump.

China isn't the only one lying about the Coronavirus.

 Politico attempted to spread fake news about Our Grand Nagus calling the disease itself a hoax (false).

(Image by Bob Gorrell)

 I certainly don't know how widespread the disease will get, but we're certainly going from hysteria to hysteria.

While tens of thousand have fallen ill and thousands have died worldwide, here in the US, Coronavirus causes stupidity to go viral.

As of now, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) has had a larger negative impact on our country than the Coronavirus--

--Like the Deep Stater(s) that allowed infected Americans to be flown back to the US.

--Or this Denver councilwoman threatening to attend MAGA rallies if she becomes infected.

--Or in the case of the Seattle Politburo, ignoring how the homeless population could exacerbate the situation.

But like most crises, this didn't occur overnight--or even at the initial outbreak.

Mass immigration from--and offshoring to--Communist China has left us vulnerable on multiple levels.

(Image by: A.F. Branco)

And this isn't the first time either: There was SARS in 2003.

We can't trust China to make dog food ingredients that won't sicken our pets, let alone be truthful about the nature an origins of one of their contagions.

Meanwhile, it looks like FEMA is preparing for a nation-wide emergency declaration.

But for those who believe Bolshevik Bernie's campaign promise of Free Healthcare For All, there's this cautionary tale of when the system fails you.

In the meantime, take the usual sensible and typical flu-related health precautions.

Pentagon Papers 2.0

(Image by Steve Breen)

I never read any of The Pentagon Papers.  I was still in grade school when the scandal initially erupted, was aware of the gist of the issue but never bothered to delve deeply into it.

Basically, a number of leaders and sections of the Department of Defense lied to Congress and the American public about various aspects of the US involvement in the Vietnam War.

One would think "The Pentagon" learned its lesson.

Apparently not.

Amid all the nothingburgers Congressional Dimtards are cooking up attempting to unseat Trump the Usurper, a true bombshell detonated earlier this week.

The Washington Post (WaPo) broke the story of confidential documents revealed US officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan.

My paltry experience in the post-9/11 middle east consists of three 3-month rotations and none of them were to Afghanistan.

One of my friends at work was assigned to a special operations support unit and has 4 year-long rotations under his belt.

He said that when he noticed the civilian contractors in Afghanistan outnumbered military personnel, he figured all we were doing was "feeding the military-industrial complex."

My comment to Comrade Karla who informed us of this debacle was: 

Lessons learned from 'Nam & The 'Stan--
--Kill bad guys
--break their toys
--forgo "nation-building/winning-the-hearts-and-minds,"
--leave enemy-held facilities a smoking ruin.

His response:  Rubble makes no trouble.

Seriously, I'm all for punitive raids, like "Bag Baghdadi," but I'd rather not see America continue shedding blood & treasure in shithole countries with no clear-cut objective of achieving victory.

First Week of The Triggering Season

(Image from ABC News)

A couple blogposts back, I mentioned "The Triggering Season."  It's the time of year between Columbus Day and Christmas that causes weapons-grade triggering among snowflakes, woketards and self-loathing leftists.

Here in WA State, Columbus Day is unusual for a couple reasons.

First, it's a Federal Holiday, it's not a State Holiday.

Then there's Indigenous Peoples Day, which which was adopted by South Dakota in 1989 and has spread to various cities, counties and entire states.  WA State hasn't fully adopted it, but the major cities of Seattle (2014), Olympia (2015), Spokane and Yakima (2016), along with Tacoma (2018) have done so.

I happened to be off-duty and noticed it was unusually quiet in my neighborhood, despite the nice weather:  No company/utility vehicles driving around, no kids outside playing.  (I'm assuming school was in session).

I was too busy doing yard work and housework to get myself entangled in any Columbus Day protests, or hear any first-hand outrage over the day.

But apparently, Our Drunk Dialer-in-Chief managed to trigger leftists, this time by merely tweeting: Happy Columbus Day!

Leftists believe wholeheartedly in the idea of the Noble Savage.  Salty Cracker's video touched on a few examples that deconstruct this myth.

Liz Wheeler's guest also set the record straight about Columbus, the Spanish and Native Americans.

Native Americans did not act nobly 100% of the time, nor did European explorers or settlers act with completely evil intent.

In a normal world, I don't mind events or celebrations revolving around our Native Americans.

However, we live in Clown World.

A world where leftists are Hell-bent on deconstructing America, our nation's history--warts and all--along with our culture and traditions, exemplified by the vandalization of statues.

So I end up ignoring both aspects of the holiday.

As Our Grand Nagus would tweet:  Sad.

And just before ending this post, I found out that yesterday was Pronoun Day.

Welcome to Triggering Season 2019.

NBA vs. PRC

(Image by Tom Stiglich)

I often say:  I was a child in the '60s--not a child of the '60s.

I vaguely remember images of the Vietnam War being broadcast on the nightly news (there was no 24-hour news cycle).  But it wasn't until the Yom Kippur War broke out that I started paying attention to what was going on in the world.

Along with these two wars erupting early in my life, I remember the anti-war and anti-nuclear protesters.  However, I was too young for either of these movements to have any influence on my political-social opinions.

I did notice one thing about these early American and Western European activist groups ever one of them ever since:

They never take-on true authoritarian regimes.

They called upon America and her allies to disarm our nuclear deterrence, but never asked the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact to do the same.

Feminist get riled-up over real--and imagined--sexism, but are silent over the plight of women in Muslim countries.

And this trend continues to this day.

Last weekend the NBA drew the ire of the People's Republic of China (PRC), when the owner of the Houston Rockets tweeted his support of the Hong Kong protesters.

The result?

The "woke when convenient" NBA kowtowed before their Chinese overlords.

Initially, the PRC stopped NBA broadcasts while other sanctions followed.

Fortune Magazine crunched the numbers and determined Daryl Morey's tweet is a problem for the NBA.  (Note:  This Fortune Magazine video has garnered all negative comments and more thumbs down than thumbs up ratings).

Laua Ingraham called this giving the PRC full-court press, while Tucker Carlson pointed out that we live in an Age of Woke Capitalism (with a limit on Free Speech).

And the PRC has infiltrated more than just American sports.  Many other US companies cave to the PRC's censorship demands.

So as leftist politicians want to replace American citizens with illegal aliens in order to influence future elections, American businesses are willing to ditch American customers for communist ones.

Cortez's Commentary on "American-Run Concentration Camps"

(Image by Steve Kelley)

Earlier this week, Commissar Cortez put her foot in her mouth--again--and flunked history, while Blue Collar Logic called her comments dumb and insulting.

Ben Shapiro, along with a host of other conservative commentators wrecked her tweet, but that didn't stop the array of non-FOX News media rushing to defend Commissar Cortez's comments and given full-court press.

Although one NBC host called-out AOC--sort of.

CNN going full Godwin's Law was the subject of one episode of The Five.

If illegal aliens are indeed "concentration camp victims," then in addition to being the first inmates in history to break in to such a place, but will be given "free" healthcare in CA and driver's licences in NY--the 13th state to do so.

Of course, while snowflakes are triggered over the "appalling" conditions of American "concentration camps," rich libtards were outraged when Our Grand Nagus wanted to send illegal aliens to Democrat-run cities.

Talk about "not in my backyard," or more likely--my Caucasian gated community.

Commissar Cortez's latest firestorm is yet another instance of proof the Left can't and won't be civil.

In my the regional tabletop gaming community I belong to, one member, our web designer and vice president, expressed her outrage of this "atrocity" on Facebook.  A fellow gamer and I responded with some facts, such as the 2,400 fake families--reported by the NYT no less.

A third conservative gamer joined the fray, but he based his arguments on emotion, just like the leftists did.  Apparently, he's disabled and was outraged over illegal aliens having an easier time getting benefits than he did.

This of course, didn't earn him any sympathy on the Victimhood Scale.  In fact, he was ridiculed and scorned.  By this time, Ms. Web Designer's outrage blew past any semblance of civility and stated that "...anyone who does not empathize with these poor people are dark, soulless human beings..."

There was more and I'm sure I'm missing some other key points.  However, when I read this comment, I unfriended her.

I'll certainly encounter her at game conventions, but I don't have to read her daily rants.

Her attitude is a perfect example of what I call "The Krauthammer Observation" made on one of FOX News' shows some years ago:

Conservatives think Liberals are wrong, but Liberals think Conservatives are evil.

There's a subtle but significant difference between viewing someone as being wrong, vs. being evil.  Libtards and snowflakes use this to demonize and dehumanize us normal, rational human beings.

They feel justified in "punching Nazis" or "milkshaking" those who disagree with them.

While libtards continue to view us like-minded folks as "deplorable," scenarios like this are being played out on the US-Mexican Border:

Huge Hypocrisy Over College Admissiongate

(Image by A.F. Branco
Early last week, news broke of a huge scandal over admissions to elite universities, netting 50 individuals charged, including 2 Hollyweirdos.

The Diplomad is having a laugh at hypocritical, high profile leftists (see A.F. Branco's cartoon above).

Meanwhile, Liz Wheeler calls them out, along with pointing out the failings of leftist feeling of entitlement.

And then there's the sense of irony illustrated in Bob Gorrell's cartoon:
(Image by Bob Gorrell)

Stilton's Place called this School of Fort Knox scandal amusing, but a distraction from bigger issues.
(Like the mass murder at two mosques in New Zealand)

While I agree Stilton for the most part, Admissiongate is important for us like-minded folks to be aware of how deep and entrenched the sense of entitlement runs among our well-to-do.

In there minds, as Mark Steyn often said about Crooked Queen Clinton:  Laws are for little people.

And speaking of little people with little blogs, ever since Commissar Cortez announced her Green New Deal (see last post), and most of the Donkey Drove going full-Marxist, I've started posting political material regularly on Facebook. 

Not only did I post Bob Gorrell's cartoon above on Facebook, but also this one by Michael Ramirez...

Another lesson of the College Bribery Scandal: 
Don't take advice from celebrities on political, social, or life-hack matters; or look to them as role models.
For the amount of money the Hollyweirdos sunk into bribes, they could have hired top-notch tutors and personal trainers for their slacker offspring.

I'll try to maintain some sense of humor about my direct posting to social media, mostly in the form of political cartoons I like.

My leftist acquaintances have been making their voices heard--loudly--and I've been letting them have their say.

But since they now want to Make America Venezuela, I don't plan on remaining silent any longer.

Business Advice from Boromir

(Image crated using Make A Meme

The other day I thought I'd contribute to the plethora of Borormir memes and concoct one alluding to the Gillette commercial I recently wrote about. 

I only posted it on Facebook to my own page and a couple of military sites.

The military guys all liked it to some degree, or at least tolerated it.

The reactions from folks seeing it on my personal page were a bit varied.  Most people liked it, but I managed to trigger a few folks. 

One of them was a cousin of mine.  He was actually nice about it and debated with me about the tone of the Gillette commercial. 

An acquaintance made a comment relating the Gillette commercial to Nike's Colin Kapernich one, along with a couple of likes or sad-faces in response to the debate I was having with my cousin.

Then there was a fellow table-top gamer who posted this:  "...If this commercial insulted you then you are one of the people it is directed at..."

I didn't think twice about responding and instead unfriended him, knowing full-well that I'll frequently run into him during local gaming events.

This is essentially the same attitude the Gillette commercial imposes on men:  If you are not going to be part of the "solution," (as Gillette and their SJW minions see it), then you are part of the problem.

I just want a peaceful, clean shave each morning.

But this is also typical of the Regressives:  People must be bombarded by political-social messages 24/7/365--with overtime on the "patriarchal," "sexist," and "racist" holidays.

I'll leave you with Sargon of Akkad's The Best Men Can Be: An Autopsy.
