1. This debate between Tucker Carlson and some postmodernist defending another postmodernist’s attempt to destroy two people for having a private opinion that is not in keeping with the current push to make all things communist, gives a frightening example of the stage of loss of freedom that the US is at right now.
2. Unusually decent report on the battles in Marawi Philippines.
It is still somewhat dishonest in that it doesn’t explain that this is an Islamic problem which predates the Islamic State’s formation in terms of its attempts to destroy the nation-state of the Philippines by at the very least, 100 years, and when it claims many of these guys were trained in the Middle East, it should be explained that this may mean by the USA under Obama-Clinton.
3. Richard Dawkins now shunned by the left when he included Islam in his criticism of religion.
(Once again we see that selective enforcement is the chief weapon of the totalitarian enemies of true liberals.)
4. Lets see if any of these lefty networks do a follow up a couple of years after they actually move.
(Stunningly affluent spoiled people with a world class lifestyle are so upset with a single election loss that they are going to try Canada. Good luck. They have a “Trudeau scented candle”. Nothing creepy about that whatsoever.)
5. Lynch needs to be exposed.
Thank you M., Wrath of Khan, EB., Richard, Yucki, Perfect Child, and all who sent in materials and comments, and for that matter, alternative song lyrics, some of which are quite good.
1. looking at the comments on the Youtube site, I sense the Left troll it with the most vile and inane posts.
Islam, Socialism and Sexsquirrelity parade the children they abuse as victims asking, ‘what if our Triggered heard that?” The very triggers of trauma they implanted.
Talking sanely, is a crime.
Sanity is a function of reason and postmodernism is actually consciously and deliberately against reason. All this to say, yes. Talking sanely is a crime. As it is now in Venezuela, as it is now in North Korea, and as it was in the Soviet Union.
And for the exact same reasons.
Free-association experience: the word “Triggered” [capital “T”], preceded by “our”.
– After Trigger died, Roy Rogers had him stuffed and mounted. That horrifies me….not-that-there’s-anything-wrong-with-that…
I guess. Embalming is an alien cultural practice, an autonomic nervous system heeber-jeeber stimulus. Lenin. Nancy Pelosi.– So, who’s “Trigger”? whose “Trigger”?
– “Trigger” is one of those trendy {cis-/ bi- /poly- /+} neologisms.
Noun, both common and proper.
Verb, both active and passive.
Adjective, simply tortured.
Trigger
It {-He/ -She/ -Hen} is pulling an excessive load, IMHO.
It use to be common for people to have their dead pets mounted so they could keep them longer.
Ok, times change.
Maybe people will be cloning their pets someday.
Which also creeps me out, but I loved Figaro so much I might’ve considered it. Very briefly.
The intolerant left is alive in well in the US, the problem they are having is that the First Amendment is still part of the law, a fact I am sure they regret.
Given who is in the top layers of the FBI I doubt if there is a serious investigation into Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, the Clintons or any of their crimes. I doubt that any of them will face a Judge and Jury unless the government of the United States is changed drastically.
I’m a little worried about research into dreams. Could it get to the point where you could lose your job for having non-PC dreams? I bet that lawyer’s suits have cost companies a lot of money and thereby increased customer costs.
It will get to the point where you can be punished for being accused of having non-PC dreams whether or not you actually did.
In the Soviet Union, North Korea, Venezuela etc. it did not require that you are guilty. Only that it was politically expedient that you be guilty. A study of leftist philosophy shows that postmodernists/communists/Marxists and post Marxist leftists, believe that an innocent man murdered by the state should think himself honoured to have served the collective in that fashion. Really Im not making this up.
So the fact of being able to read dreams, which to a degree I think they can do, and one assumes the resolution will get better, really has nothing to do with the problem at all.
It is that we are moving from a free society where conclusions are drawn from evidence and reason and then action is taken that has positive predictive value, to one where we begin with a conclusion that must be considered true and anyone providing or even looking for, or exposing evidence to the contrary of those preconceived conclusions will be punished for heresy/blasphemy etc.
Romeo: “I dreamt a dream tonight.”
Mercutio: “And so did I.”
Romeo: “Well, what was yours?”
Mercutio: “That dreamers often lie.”
Romeo: “In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.”
The most important thing, don’t dream things true.
Or don’t dream at all. In fact, if we are truly entering the progressive/marxist Utopia then Dante’s famous words might be all to appropriate: “Abandon hope all ye who enter here.”
There are medications for PTSD that suppress the REM cycle. It’s not the about dreaming per se, it’s the brain chemistry that’s the target. Short-term, can be quite effective.
Interesting times, PTSD-cost to society soars.
Not a trivial issue. We’re not reading anything about the afflicted from places like Manchester, Paris, or Orlando.
There are many walking wounded, people impaired. Doing things like brain surgery. And voting for head of state.
There’s an awful lot of ugly in comment sections and it’s beginning to creep into quality online discourse. An overdose of PC seems to have provoked the most blatant Jew-hate I’ve ever seen in “polite company”. I’m talking conservative – not ‘far-right’ – platforms.
How’s that happening?
• Motives ascribed to the collective joozz, israel-firsters, ‘they’ and ‘their agenda’.
• “Benny N- gotta control his people”
• “They take advantage of passing for ‘white’ to play the antisemite card when things don’t go their way.”
I am having trouble with my computer so I hope this message gets through…
I too find many comments to be so out of whack that I wonder where or what education these people get.
I was raised in a heavily Jewish area. In fact, both my father’s business partners were Jewish and the children that were my friends because they were the higher achieving students in the class were Jewish. this was in a suburb of NYC.
Contrast that with my husband raised in Denver, He had virtually no contact with Jews.
We both have a very benign policy about Jews, although I must say that I am a much more staunch supporter of Israel than he is.
I think the point I want to make is that this is learned. I feel very supportive of Israel because I spent my childhood amoung them and my parents accepted them. My husband feels no animosity because he hasn’t had any exposure to them and wonders what the amazing fuss is.
When I was a schoolgirl, a person’s religion or point of origin wasn’t an issue. How far we have regressed.
PizzaIdf.com This is a worthy charity that I have contributed many times. Tell Menachem that Babs sent you.
My generation matured knowing the horrors of the death camps, if we didn’t know any Jews or survivors of the death camps (I didn’t) we say the photos and talked to the relatives who liberated the camps. We (for the most part) supported Israel wholeheartedly because we were taught history and were constantly told that Antisemitism would arise once again and that the Jews needed a nation they could run to for shelter. One that would take them in instead of refusing to take them (and the US did this in some cases). My generation (hopefully) willo always support Israel.
The URL is to the movie “Cast a Giant Shadow” the true story of Mickey Marcus, an American Jew who retired from the US Army after WWII, he then went to Israel and became the First Israeli General since the Diaspora.
The best line in the movie:
Israeli Prime Minister: Thank you for serving, you may have heard I have a temper.
Marcus: I have served with Patton, you are a pussy cat.
If you have already done so read “Exodus” by Leon Uris, it is much better then the movie made from it. For that matter read all of his books, I don’t think he wrote any of them.
His first book “Battle Cry” was a thinly disguised autobiography of his time in the Marines during WWII. Once again the book is much better then the movie.
Of course to do justice to either book would take a mini series or possibly a two season TV season.
posssibly a two season TV show
Read “Exodus” many years ago. Recently finished “Redemption”.
Please read, “The Haj”, a brilliant insight about Arab-Israeli relations.
Babs-
