First off, my humblest of apologies for being such a crap correspondent the past couple of weeks. Needless to say, I have no excuse really. Well, I HAVE one, but seriously, who the heck cares?
Let’s have some random fun today. This past week has been so serious and somber – I had my tearful moments; watching George W. Bush tap his father’s casket on his way to his seat after his eulogy; the video of the “missing man” flyover. But the one that really got to me, in the subtlest of ways, was a tweet. The U.S. Secret Service announcing that the watch for “Timberwolf” had ended…..
So to brighten the mood, it’s time for some random observations no apparent relation; no apparent order.
1. Am I the only one that thinks that Bounty commercial with the kid poking Dad, who spills his drink and the older kid says “ooooooo noooooo” in slow motion is ridiculous? I’m pretty sure she can lift the laptop out of the way in far less time than Dad can get to a paper tower, even if it IS the “Quicker Picker Upper.”
2. I love Christmas Music. I especially love Christmas music by Mannheim Steamroller. With one exception. I cannot, will not, in no uncertain terms EVER like “The Little Drummer Boy” – I don’t care who performs it; I don’t care that they did a whole half-hour cartoon special on it. I understand that makes me a heartless Christmas Nazi. I can live with this. It will be difficult, but I can.
3. But this was the week I realized the game industry has reached its zenith and is now on a downward spiral. This Christmas, among the Hungry Hungry Hippos and Operation, there’s a new addition. This is how it goes. Spin the dial. If a “3′ comes up, you take the plunger, plunge the toilet three times and hope that the lid opens up and a turd pops out. Catch the turd! You win. The only thing that scares me more than the insane adult who thought this up is that an even more insane adult approved the prototype and had it put on the market.
George Carlin was right. You CAN “nail together two things that have never been nailed together before and some schmuck WILL buy it from you.”
A random contribution. Black actor finds out that black is not currently at the top of the victim pyramid in Hollywood. GAY takes over. He will be allowed to “evolve” though. Not just anybody gets THAT privilege.

Oh, look. Trudope’s Federal Minister of Immigration is a racist Somali Immigration lawyer. What could go wrong?

Gangs of Somali kids below 10 years old are beating up kids in Canadian schools. Schools let them. Police let them. Way to assimilate you little monsters.
I’m going to take a chance and post something kinky. Expunge if you want. New levels of strange.

Barbarian, I’m right wit’ ya on the Little Drummer Boy thing. I’ve despised that song since I was in grade school and heard it for the first time. /Probably didn’t help that one of the girls in the classroom kept singing “rum pa pum pum” over and over and over and over.

As for the somali kids, I’d say wait till somebody gets killed but…Germany

No wonder our overlords think we are stupid.
Normals are punished and shamed.

This pendulum has to swing the other way. Maybe I should have used another metaphor.

Well, it looks like I got the job. Start Jan 3rd, 90 day probationary offer. If I can make it past the probationary period, it should all good.

Not that anything will happen, but proof positive of blatant vote fraud in Chicago:

Only way to solve this is for the fed to get involved because all of those who would prosecute are fully owned by The Chicago Boss.
@ AZfederalist:
And current Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, is the Boss’ daughter.
why do people live there?
THIS is embarrassing. USNI actually posted this “Commemoration” of the 7 December Pearl Harbor Attack.

Seriously? I’ve seen better “Sponge Bob” animations. That was embarrassing.
/Has anybody else noticed that new software “upgrades” are starting to sport icons and imagery that is reminiscent of 16 bit VGA images? I’ve seen this in Adobe, VariCAD, and other applications. Instead of crisp, sharp icons, they are going back to blurry, hard to read icons.
@ doriangrey:
See if you can get the “probationary period” retroactive. Just ask.
@ rain of lead:
He held his farts in for 45 minutes, too. Impressive.
@ Bunk X:
maybe they think they have to reach a target audience that is used to playing video games or something?
@ AZfederalist:
Yep, and it’s annoying as hell.
Windows 10 crashed on me this weekend, had to reinstall a bunch of programs that I use regularly. That was fun.
I didn’t lose data, but a lot of customization defaulted to Mario Brothers. I’ve never played Mario Brothers.

That is not dumbing down. It is deliberate, disrespectful, and reeks of following orders from the big salaried peeps. IMO. We have more than our share of contempt from our elected and unelected overlords up here too.

Horror stories abound, but they are told infrequently. Those who suffered want to forget.
California State Senator Janet Nguyen’s story is interesting.

I have more respect for USNI than that. I think it was just poor judgement to post such an infantile info vid.
They arrested close to 2,000 people over the weekend in France. People are noticing the constant squeeze. Socialism still doesn’t work.

Jordan Peterson said the best thing about Socialists in general. “It’s not that they love the poor, it’s that they hate the rich.”

Not quite. They hate OTHER people for being rich.

I still believe it was a deliberate insult from someone with power.
Of course I’m being ruled by a nasty low IQ nutbar who hates Canadians unless they are French or muslim.

Yes. Peterson is an exceptional man with a profound understanding of human nature. He is not only a thinker, he is a ‘doer’. He changes peoples lives for the better. He even devises a methodology where young minority men go through a course of work and goal setting. He has run clinical trials that show noticeable improvement in test scores.
@ yenta-fada:
I hate meerkats.
Cutesy little standy-uppy weasel-lookin’ bastards.
I just think USNI made a bone-headed mistake by posting that vid, otherwise they’re a good organization.

From the comments at a great little blog:
“For more insight into how the globalist agenda works, a good book is: The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline by James Perloff. It is well written, well documented and a real eye-opener. The mischief has been going on for a very long time. Among other things, we find out that Wall Street funded the Bolsheviks. Really, it all makes sense, and the perpetrators for these nefarious schemes have not gone away.”

I don’t think it’s profound. I think it’s common sense beautifully articulated.
Also, I watched one interview he did with a Brit woman who gives ‘stupid’ a run for its money. He mentioned that ‘even lobsters get depressed’. Or something like that. But he said, in a declarative statement, that lobsters get depressed.
How does anybody know that?
@ eaglesoars:
She did in 2014, but she lost to Dem Tom Umberg in the midterms this year. There were ballot *ahem* “irregularities” in California, as in Florida, but the evidence is being squelched.
@ eaglesoars:
A rich person is someone who has more money than you do.
An alcoholic is someone who drinks more than you do.
An idiot is someone with a higher IQ than you have.
But what do I know. I’m just a poor alcoholic idiot. 😀

Oh wait. That goes back to the revered Socialist Progressive Isolationist racist segregationist Democrat icon President Woodrow Wilson.
My mistake.
Bunk X wrote:
Yes, I stumbled over that one too! My original foray into this ‘hidden history’ of the first, second, and third reichs started with listening to Catherine Austin Fitts. She was a banker among other things. She was assistant secretary of HUD for a relatively short period. Her careful accounting of following the money caused her to become a whistle blower informing people of trillions of missing taxpayer money. She was in litigation for years, threatened with violence, and actually escaped being murdered outright. She has a grad degree from Wharton and travels internationally as a wealth manager for high net worth individuals.
In other words not a snowflake or a nutbar, but a serious grounded person who is driven to expose government criminality for many years.
She has hard evidence of fraud. She eventually won her case. We see the Trump witch hunt and recognize how difficult it is to get anybody convicted of real crimes when the raw power at the top has no difficulty lying and pulling the ‘national security’ card.
Her site is http://www.solari.com I think. She produces ‘The Solari Report’ 4 times/year. She discusses lots of stuff with a huge emphasis on health, the environment, and high tech. She sounds like a radical myth buster of fake news. She detests globalist elites and has a fair share of her own prejudices. I found her because goldbugs agree with her on a number of issues. She was born into a Secret Society family. Have no idea which one. It could be Skull and Bones from Yale like the Bush family. Or something unrelated like Freemasons. Those groups are real and experts in holding on to their power. The Council on Foreign Relations lists their members online. How they wield their power is secret.
