Late night Musings From The Bathtub

Have you ever noticed Robert De Niro always looks like his son just told him he wants to ride unicycles professionally? 

Just watched a few reruns of the TV show "House". What a really weird show. Patients would be rushed to the hospital with unexplained fevers and heart problems, and House would come in eating an apple and like "did you check his asshole for toothpicks? And they'd be like"Damn, you're right!"

Do you ever watch a film to the end of the credits, pick a name and think 'hey Clint Youngreen, assistant bear trainer #3, I bet you thought nobody would see you down here. Nice job pal. 

Rage Against the Machine never specified what type of machine they were furious with, but I'm willing to bet it was a printer.

I think the single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his lady friends permission to give persistent dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night.

Nervous of flying? Don't be. As long as 2 million parts in a plane work perfectly while traveling at close to the speed of sound as sharp metal blades rotate at supersonic speeds in temperatures of  -65 degrees 7 miles above the earth surface, you'll be just fine. Enjoy the in flight movie...

 Microwaves have like 32 buttons but you only need about 4, including the number buttons. Look me in the eye and tell me you use the 7 key. 

Someone told me yesterday that they don't eat tacos because they're bad for you, and I'm starting to realize what my parents meant when they said I should be careful who I surround myself with. 

British Cooking Shows: tell us about this wee tart you've made, the crust is just lovely.... American Cooking Show: we've replace your knives with phillips head screwdrivers & released raccoons in the kitchen. The clock is set for 30 minutes, please bake us peace in the middle east. 

Anyone who says their wedding was the best day of their lives has clearly never had 2 snickers bars fall down at once from a vending machine. 

Pro Tip: When a woman laughs during an argument, please know that the psycho part of the brain has been activated. Abort Mission. 

Geaux Tigahs!

A Good Monday Morning

Coincidence? I Think Not

After the Trump administration and congress cut off foreign aid to the terrorist areas in the West Bank and Gaza, the number of terrorist attacks dropped sharply. So did the casualties. In all of 2020, only three Israelis were killed. In 2021, when Biden restored aid to the terrorists, Israeli casualties shot up 900%. They have since consistently risen every year Biden was in office, up another 82% from 2021 to 2022.

In 2022, Biden met with Palestinian Authority terror leader Mahmoud Abbas and boasted that, “I reversed the policies of my predecessor and resumed aid to the Palestinians — more than a half a billion dollars in 2021.”  - Daniel Greenfield

__________________________

Just another glaring example of the weakness of Joe Biden as a leader, and the hate filled brilliance of Biden and the democrats toward his predecessor by undoing every good thing he did in his four short years in office. It's also perfectly exemplifies Barky Obama's adage  "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up".

And now, the sons and daughter of America may be put in harms way because of this fool's ignorant foreign policy decisions.

Stop Being Shocked

None of the recent horrors you witnessed this last week, not the massacre of Jews, not the betrayal by public figures and popular activist movements, not the moral insanity of our universities and cultural spaces, happened by accident.

For the past decade or so, an elite consensus began to emerge. It was marketed as a worldview of optimism, of progress and justice brought about by the dawning of new correct morality. It favored using the power of digital monopolies and elite institutions to reeducate Americans in new and better ways of thinking, writing, speaking, and being.

But something was bothering from the very beginning about these ideas, and the people pushing them. Every time we pressed on one of the newly mass-embraced policy proposals or narratives - intersectionality, decolonization studies, the Iran nuclear deal, Russiagate, Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, critical race theory, COVID lockdowns—a weird thing would happen: The idea itself fell apart at the seams within seconds of contact with reality. And yet its defenders got more sure of themselves, more performatively boastful, more passionate and gleeful about smearing anyone who dared to question them.

The more we listened to freshly minted universal experts, the more we were struck by the increasing lunacy of their pronouncements and the seemingly automatic acceptance by the media  on every topic under the sun, always said to be backed by ‘studies’ and ‘science.  Where COVID-19 came from, how many genders there are, which skin tones and personal experiences qualify a person for protection status and which do not, whether it was OK for a Syrian dictator to bomb and gas 500,000 of his people, whether the U.S. should ally itself with a Holocaust-denying medieval theocracy, whether the president of the United States was secretly a Russian agent, whether large American cities should let drug addicts and violent schizophrenics get high on the streets and steal stuff—and more.

Over time we were struck by how little the ideas themselves seemed to matter. What so many people seemed most attached to was the power.

The increasingly strident calls for forced uniformity of opinion and perception struck us as dangerous and wrong. Organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and the American Civil Liberties Union, once the protectors of the vulnerable, became handmaidens of power.  Internet monopolies merged with the federal government to produce a censorship and surveillance apparatus that would ensure that only the voices of some could be heard. Think tanks and politicians and journalists gave cover for policies that seemed obviously destined to set the world on fire.
