This was my exact day yesterday.
Maybe today.
I think Costco is open.
Reflections FROM MOTUS: THE MIRROR OF THE UNITED STATES
Repost from Easter 2024
And he said unto them, Be not amazed: you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he is risen;
He is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. - Mark 16:6
‘I am the resurrection, and the life: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.’
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? — John 11: 25-26
Christians around the world gather today on this most holy of Christian holidays to celebrate with joy the miracle of the Resurrection and the promise of eternal salvation. And to our Jewish friends celebrating the Exodus and Passover: Shalom aleichem. For everyone else, enjoy this beautiful, joyful, hopeful spring day to rest, reflect and renew. The old world will pick up and continue on its way tomorrow as, God willing, we shall too.
May everyone enjoy this glorious day regardless of your religion, sugar tolerance or the weather. And please, enjoy your chocolate bunnies. Just beware of the trans-rabbits, I hear they bite back.
This poor bunny is confused on so many levels. Sad.
With any luck he could become the face of Lindt’s white chocolate bunnies.
Trump admin accomplishments in the last 80 days:
Closed the southern border
Deported hundreds of illegal criminals
Made English the national language
Banned biological men from competing in women’s sports
Fired a myriad of worthless traitors and functionaries.
Created DOGE
Secured the release of hostages from Hamas and Russia
Jan. 6 pardons
Halted federal DEI programs
Withdrew from the Paris climate accord
Withdrew from the World Health Organization
Made America’s Showers Great Again Over 100 other Executive Orders designed to Make America Great Again
In short, he’s implementing the promises he made to the American people while campaigning for President.
Democrats accomplishments in the last 80 days:
Vilified perhaps the smartest man in the world who founded/owns Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), Neuralink, The Boring Company, and xAI. His crime: weeding out waste, fraud and corruption in the federal government.
Trashed hundreds of Teslas and Tesla charging stations because, Musk.
Held foot stomping shouting protests by paid astroturfers and old hippies against – who knows what? “Hands Off” is pretty ambiguous. I think they’re just mad.
Held group therapy sessions around the country for angry constituents hosted by the uber-masculine Democrat mascot, Tim Walz.
Held grief sessions across the country for their deeply mourning constituents.
Not only have they chosen a strange hill to die on, they’ve decided to do it by suicide.
TDS and MDS seems to be sweeping the county again with thousands of protests against Tesla planned for today.
I still having trouble comprehending how anyone can object to the elimination of waste, fraud and corruption; or the deportation of violent criminals. But then we’re not dealing with rational minds here. Liberals everywhere are big mad. Give them wide berth as they chant, dance, stomp their feet and smash toy cars to call attention to Elon’s sins against humanity. May the heavens open up and wash them clean.
These people could not be more unhinged if they were certified.
Liberal cats against Musk
“It’s like Musk is some kind of evil genius who figured out how to separate lefties from billions of their dollars by appealing to their idiotic climate religion…and then made them despise themselves for doing it. He should get a Nobel Prize for that.”
Instead, he’s getting a “Tesla Takedown Global Day of Action.” Yeah, the left is calling in all their paid agitators to protest 200 Tesla dealerships around the world. That will really show him.
They hate Musk because he’s the face of Doge, the department responsible for weeding out governmental waste, fraud and abuse. What leftist could get behind that? They are upset that Musk’s team is eliminating USAID, which eliminates funds funneled to NGOs that in turn fund –among many other lefty causes – funds many “grass roots’ agitators that pop up like dandelions around the left’s current shibboleth. Their protest would be ironic if it weren’t so self-serving.
Sigh. These creatures grow tiresome. Let’s hope they keep their mandatory violence to a minimum. I know it will be hard, given how mad they are.
Trump Derangement Syndrome has officially been transferred to the smartest man on the planet. Somehow I think he can handle it.
The Democrats, becoming what they must be, unburdened by what has been. To wit, the Democrats are now:
The party committed to maintaining government waste, fraud and corruption
The party opposed to deporting illegal violent criminals
The party that (now) supports a Government shutdown
The party that (now) hates electric vehicles and wishes an entire American company will collapse
The party that supports biological males competing against women
The party that won’t stand up for a 13 year old cancer victim but will stand up for an anti-Semite (Nazi!) non-citizen who supports Hamas.
And watch out for ‘splodey heads today as 47 signs an Executive Order to eliminate the Department of Education. Who would want to do that given the most recent report card on education: Overall, 39% of fourth-graders and 28% of eighth-graders scored at or above NAEP's standard for proficiency in math. For the still mathematically disadvantaged that’s 61% of forth-graders and 72% of eighth-graders BELOW NAEP standards for proficiency. Reading scores were similar.
And all of the questions were multiple choice:
Let’s give the kids a fighting chance.
Did you give up something for Lent? It’s been a week now, how is it going?
Only 5 weeks to go; you’ve got this. And it’s good for your soul.
The President’s speech to the Joint Session of Congress was better than Marti Gras.
Although there were just as many jesters and clowns in attendance.
Remember when Joe Wilson was censured for his emotional outburst “you lie” at Obama’s State of the Union address? Apparently that sort of shenanigans is no longer objectional to Dems as many of them behaved like spoiled children acting out. I haven’t seen such a display of pouting, silly antics and tantrums since a birthday party for pre-schoolers, although most of last night’s reprehensible behavior was carried out by Congressional octogenarians.
America is back, baby! And not a moment too soon. So laissez les bons temps rouler!
May all enjoy a peaceful Ash Wednesday as you prepare for Lent.
Apropos to nothing:
Every time I see Elon in his Tech Support tee shirt I can’t help but think of Janice the Elder’s avatar: “I Work For the Users”. Since Janice didn’t work in IT I always assumed she meant this as a double entendre. And since she worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, filled not only with engineers and scientists but also government functionaries, I suspect I know who those users were.
As I said, apropos to nothing. Have a great Wingsday.
This week’s DOGE Wings Day winner:
“You’re fired, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
Feathers will fly.

Happy Valentine’s Day Peeps!
Will be back later to thank the MOTI for my beautiful Valentine flowers.
When the Insane Clown Posse protests efforts to root out government waste and fraud of taxpayer dollars you can’t help but wonder whose side they’re on.
When the same members of the Lunatic Left protest the deportation of criminal illegal aliens again, you have to wonder whose side they’re on.
When common sense is more alien than illegal immigrants you have to wonder whose side they’re on.
And when everything you don’t like is a fascist coup you continue to beclown yourselves. So go ahead Congressman Al Green, file articles of impeachment against President Trump for his “dastardly deeds” – whatever that is - I’m sure he would be proud to be the first president impeached three times by these lunatics.
And this time she’s not messing around.
Hannah Jackson, the bitchy fashion writer for Vogue chose to trash the lovely Melania, because that’s what the left does best: tear down what’s beautiful so it can be replaced with something ugly. They are very good at it.
I don’t know about you but I’m not seeing someone “cosplaying the Apprentice,” rather someone ready to kick butt and perfectly capable of doing so.
Let the political hacks continue to publish their alter reality nonsense. Most people are immune to the toxic venom this time around. Besides. people with any degree of common sense know the difference between elegance and tacky.
Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue, who was a huge fan of Dr. Jill’s floral housecoats.
A lesser man, having been impeached – twice – and convicted of a felony, would have quit in shame and humiliation. Donald Trump is not a lesser man. Rather than quit he chose to fight! fight! fight! so America could win! win! win! It’s time to celebrate.
Donald Trump makes the greatest comeback in political history.
Godspeed President Trump.
And if you’re inclined, do drop into the MOTUS Twilight Lounge for a celebratory drink or not. This is a redux of the 2017’s celebration post but there’s even more cause for celebrating today. Enjoy every minute, we’ve so earned this.
ORIGINALLY POSTED 1-20-2017
Come on in and join the celebration! The Occupation is over; our long national nightmare has come to an end. Welcome to Day One of MAGA (II)!
As it’s been a long time since we’ve had occasion to celebrate with genuine revelry I’m throwing a pent-up-demand-on-steroids party.
There will be food:
First scandal of the Trump administration: RUSSIAN caviar?!
there will be beverage:
And there will be song:
And we will party all day and well into the night.
As to the snowflakes who have opted out of today’s festivities in favor of bitterly clinging to their ‘antipathy to people who aren't like them’ I have this shoutout: “I feel your pain.” Hope that makes them feel better, knowing that the deplorables actually have feelings after all. For them, I dedicate this song:
Lonely Teardrops, Michael McDonald
I would have used the original Jackie Wilson version but having Michael McDonald drown in his own tears seemed to add a little something to today’s sense of well deserved schadenfreude.
So party on my wonderful, irredeemable deplorables.
Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes…we will make America Great Again (again).
Thank you God, and God bless America
And what a difference a day makes.
day four years
But finally, our prayers have been answered.
“…but deliver us from evil, amen.”
And prayers continue for our President’s good health and safety. Let the festivities begin.
Remember back in the Obama years when this was still metaphorical?
No longer, thanks to Nancy Pelosi’s nephew and his band full of unqualified incompetents.
Pray for California.
Unfortunately terrorists have ensured that 2025 has not gotten off on a very good foot.
Things will get better after January 20th.
My only resolution is to clean out the refrigerator.
Every 3 years, whether it needs it or not.
Hope your resolutions are equally ambitious.
