Is Sophistry Sustainable?

Amidst all the other issues facing the country - tariffs, the deficit, a judicial lawfare system, renewed antisemitism, a cabal of unaccountable functionaries that ran the country in lieu of our mentally incapacitated president (aided and abetted by the entire MSM) – we still have to deal with men in women’s sports. And it’s a hot mess.

 

But actually, it’s indicative of a much larger problem:

I was born into and grew up in an era of miracles wrought by hard work, dedication, and dearly earned competence. So it’s a bitter pill to swallow when I look around now and see that our greatest challenge isn’t going to the moon and back with slide rules and vacuum tubes; it’s trying to figure out who gets to use the girls’ bathroom at an Ivy League swim meet. We no longer build aircraft that can fly at 100,000 feet and Mach 3+ because the solar grid lacks sufficient power to replace the AG-330 Start Cart needed to spool up a J58 engine. Also, a snail darter might get harmed by the sonic boom.

We are, these days, a nation in the thrall of lazy, dishonest, spineless, clueless, incompetent, yet endlessly entitled and arrogant academics, bureaucrats, politicians, media figures, and other “experts” who can’t seem to find their way from their heads to their asses with their hands when something important, like, say, COVID or the 25th Amendment, is in play. But it doesn't slow them down in the slightest when they decide, despite millions of years of evolution (and a plethora of other ancillary evidence to the contrary), that men can transform into women, that merit is a manifestation of oppression, that opposing ideas are vulgar, and that disagreement is tantamount to prejudice. How the hell do you expect these nimrods to figure out that men don’t belong in women’s sports?

That’s where we are right now. When you can’t do hard things anymore, sophistry rules. I just don’t know how long that’s sustainable.

When we can’t get the simple things right it’s hard to see how we’re going to work our way through the tough ones.

It’s a good thing Trump is a human dynamo who has lined up a team of human dynamos to assist him in Making America Great Again. May God help him.

Squeezing the Fun Out of Joy Since 2016

Did you know that yesterday was “National bring flowers to someone day”? Of course you did. I got home from infusion day to find the loveliest bouquet of flowers on my porch from the MOTI. What a way to end a not-so-fun day. The arrangement is as gorgeous as ever and will fill the house with color and fragrance, color and joy all weekend.

Multi-colored peonies, light pink roses, dark pink snaps, white anemones and lush greenery create this artful arrangement. Life doesn’t get any better than this.

So thank you for making my day – and Raj’s too – by “bringing someone flowers.”

And now, a note on the passing scene: its hard to overstate the fact that Trump has had an amazing and awesome week. And he has 2 more days to go. I can’t wait. Already we’ve seen economic ties and agreements – like no one has seen before – made. We’ve heard the shut down Iran and the shut down of Iran’s proxies who felt free to attack us and Israel with impunity under the Biden administration.

Peace through strength, such a fascist concept. The Democrats feel required to protest it like it was 1965; singing, whining and stomping their collective feet over everything Trump does. It’s almost as if the don’t want America to be great again.

Mother’s Day Redux

It’s mother’s day, don’t forget to get mom some flowers. It doesn’t matter if you pick them, plant them or purchase them.

Every mom loves flowers

To celebrate mothers is to celebrate life itself. Like virtually everything else in life there are exceptions but for the most part mothers are indeed exceptional in their unconditional love and devotion. At a Mother’s Day gathering in 2017 Melania Trump explained it this way:

“Mother is a title that claims your heart and changes your life forever. In fact, it has been said that having a child means allowing your heart to walk around outside of your body.”

So if you’re lucky enough to still have your mom around, grab some flowers and thank the woman who let her heart walk around independent of her body.

And if she’s no longer with you, honor her memory by recalling the good times you had when you were both impossibly young.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there – and to everyone who has, or ever has had, a Mom.

What A Race

I’m sure that I’m not the first to point this out but I see Sovereignty beats Journalism! Even though odds were on Journalism.

 

Sovereignty just beat Journalism to win the Kentucky Derby.

Dinner Plans

This was my exact day yesterday.

Maybe today.

I think Costco is open.

Easter 2025

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.

Winning vs Whining

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.

 

Unhinged

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.
