Why Dems Have No Message

You won’t have a coherent message if you are constantly terrified of offending some invented micro-identity. Of course, the goal was to beat people into submission by threats of cancellation and insults. There was never any plan to persuade or convince. Now that it’s suddenly necessary to have a message instead of screaming at everybody to shut up, it turns out that Democrats have none and don’t know how to create it.

Irish Accent

Is it part of the Irish accent to pronounce “t” as “ch”? It makes “wet” sound as “wech”, “that” as “thach” and “later” as “lacher.” Sounds like Chilean accent in English. And I hate Chilean accent.

I’m listening to a book about Irish characters, and this horrible lisping pronunciation is very distracting. “Thach wech cach in a hach.” Brrr. 

I’ll try to reconcile myself to it if people say this is reflective of the linguistic reality of the region and not an affectation of the actress.

Abuse or Greed?

People who are referring to Kanye West’s naked wife at the Grammys as a victim of abuse should remember that being unwilling to leave a mega rich man isn’t abuse. It’s greed.

It’s very tiresome that everything we don’t like is immediately tagged as abuse or “mental illness.” As a result, both expressions have come to be completely meaningless.

The Trade Wars’ Effect

And we haven’t even had time to experience those highly anticipated expensive avocados:

I have read so many dire predictions about the imminent immiseration of everybody in America, and it’s extraordinary how people managed to squeeze all that hand wringing between the policy and the result.

Indoctrination on the Cheap

We are now past the stage of “it’s a lie that USAID is used to promote far-left ideology overseas” to “yes, it’s true, but this is a small percentage of the US budget.”

As if doing this cheaply made it OK. USAID used people’s poverty and desperation to make them say, teach, publish and do things they didn’t believe. This is the equivalent of me telling a person living in a Guatemalan slum, “OK, I’ll feed you but you have to drop on your knees and proclaim that I’m your lord and master.” The fact that I can do this for the low price of 15 bucks does not make my actions moral and acceptable.

I vividly remember how this was done to us in the newly independent Ukraine back in 1991. People were lost and confused because everything had changed so fast on them. And these absolute bastards used us to throw us coins and have us dance in feather skirts for them. Obviously, I mean this metaphorically. No actual feather skirts were involved.

The absolute hubris of thinking that you are entitled to impose your ideology on people overseas because having money makes you superior. And the funniest thing is that it’s precisely the people who prattle endlessly how they are against imperialism who do this.

Anti-ICE in LA

It’s deeply bizarre that people would demonstrate against being returned to Mexico by waving Mexican flags.

There are few movements as devoid of reason and logic as the open border movement. One would think that people would try to argue that America is their home, they should stay because they love this country. But no, the exact opposite message is sent.

Why Is Trump Punishing Canada?

For people who are wondering why Trump is punishing Canada with tariffs, I want to post this short video where the current Canadian Prime Minister is debating the future Prime Minister. It’s all in there, in their own words. The future Canadian leader is explaining “why now, why is Canada punished more than China,” all of it.

Where Did the Money Go?

This is the money voted by the Congress, signed by POTUS, so where is it? We all really want to know where it went.

We’ve been talking about this for a very long time but is it finally going to be investigated?

The Air Catastrophe

The terrible crash at the DC airport has still not been adequately explained. The Black Hawk pilots were tragically incompetent, and so were the air traffic controllers. I’m shocked that there are people who are trying to justify the pilots by rolling out their experience and how well they performed in school. My students often claim that trying hard should matter more than the results of said trying but we all know they are kids who will grow up and learn how life really works.

Instead of being quiet and apologetic, families of the Black Hawk pilots are pouting publicly how extremely professional and successful their relatives were. It’s possible and commendable to love relatives who committed great evil but it needs to be done quietly. Bragging that your relative who murdered 60+ people was in the top 20% of cadets is unconscionable.

Another thing that is impossible to understand is why there was a Black Hawk flying among passenger aircrafts at all. If its visibility is truly as bad as everybody says, then whose brilliant idea was to fly them there at all? This all needs to be investigated in depth.

The Real Handmaid’s Tale

This the actual Handmaid’s Tale of our times but cosplaying ladies have zero interest in this. Just like the #MeToo crowd was deathly indifferent to real sexual abuse.
