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.
