Alright Then, Bald headed Women

photog Current Events, Trump ,

Cat Ladies are scared.  They can’t tell who voted for Trump.  They say they want Kamala voters to wear a blue bracelet to identify them to each other.  And they want to shave their heads.  And they want to wear COVID masks.  Well, that’s a lot of stuff.  So, I guess there is potentially 48% of white women out there who might start walking around with shaved heads, surgical masks and blue bracelets.

I’ve gotta say, that’s a pretty horrendous situation.  Most of these blue-haired cat ladies aren’t the most attractive bunch.  As a group they’re also pretty grouchy to start with and now after the election they’re going on TikTok and Instagram and yelling a lot and threatening to stop having sex.  And that’s fine.  I don’t think anyone is going to insist they have sex.  In fact, for a lot of them it might be for the best.  I’m no expert on modern relationships but I think, for the most part, most men prefer women with hair.  And a lot of them prefer a woman who doesn’t hate men.  Maybe not all but a lot of them.

And even for us who don’t plan to have sex with random former-blue-haired bald women, we still have to see them walking around with their bald heads.  It’s not great.  I mean you get used to women having hair.  It’s going to be like some kind of dystopian science fiction story with these ugly bald women wearing masks and glaring at us without blue bracelets.  And do you think that the blue hair dye will end up dyeing their heads blue too?  I don’t think I could deal with that.  Bald blue-headed angry women wearing surgical masks.  It’s a bit much.

As a man with short hair I can say definitively that a shaved head makes living in the northeast more difficult.  As bald people well know the human body loses a lot of heat from the head and this is exacerbated by baldness.  I don’t know if these women are aware.  Maybe they’ll reconsider.  I’ll bet a lot of them don’t even have hats anymore.  Well, these particular women probably have those pink hats from their marches back in 2017.  I guess they could repurpose those to keep their bald heads warm in the winter.  That wouldn’t be so bad.  So maybe this won’t be so bad.  I wonder if we could persuade them to wear the hats indoors too.  We could compliment them on how nice the hats make them look.  You know compliment them, respectfully.  Not hit on them or anything.  Not enough to get them thinking about sex again.  Just enough to keep those hats on their big bald blue heads.

As I said, a lot of these women are very angry.  They keep talking about attacking and shooting Trump voters.  That’s not good.  I mean, who would want to be punched or shot by an angry bald-headed woman?  I know I don’t.  It would be embarrassing to admit.

Maybe I should get me one of those blue bracelets.  How much could it cost; five, six bucks?  Of course, if it’s a lot more maybe I can make on out of blue electrical wire.  I’ll go to Home Depot and buy a spool of it and braid it into a bracelet.  Well, that sounds like a plan.

Honestly, we live in difficult times.  Just when you think that you’ve conquered the worst problems something new comes along.  Like nose rings.  I was always freaked out when I saw people, especially women with nose rings.  I always wondered if when their nose was running did it drip down the nose ring?  And then I thought maybe that was a workable situation.  When they had a cold, they could attach a length of tubing to the bottom of the nose ring and let the snot run off into a bottle or something.  I thought of patenting this idea but then I figured some nose ring wearer probably already thought of it.  So, I didn’t.

Well, the world marches on.  Alright then, bald headed women.

Daydream Believer

I was working on the outline for my book and I need to add about 50,000 words to the present length.  Luckily, I have a “women and children in danger” scenario that hasn’t even been started yet so there’s 25,000 words right there.  But the other thing I thought of has to do with the wrap up of the story.  Our heroes have survived a direct nuclear attack by the crazed, cowardly POTUS and have retaliated by physically undermining the headquarters of all the centers of power in Washington (White House, Capitol, Pentagon and all the HQ buildings of the security agencies including their data storage infrastructure nationwide). Basically, everyone in those building fall hundreds of feet to their death underground.  In addition, the good guys manage to tunnel under and hijack a bunch of ICBMs out of their silos thus preventing potential future retaliation.

So, the wrap-up has to be a conference between our heroes (or their representatives) with the federal and state leaders about a modus vivendi that will prevent any more bloodshed and allow for more permanent arrangements to be negotiated.  And the demand that the negotiators would make would be for all the rights that the Bill of Rights guaranteed them be restored without question or exception forever.  Now that could easily chew up 30,000 words.

While I was thinking about that, it got me thinking about reality.  Like, what would be the best outcome of Trump decapitating the Deep State and neutering all of the agencies that make our lives miserable?  Obviously, it would be for him to invite the Supreme Court to rule against all of the affirmative action and other unconstitutional mandates that strip away our rights and then use the Supreme Court’s decision to shut down all of the agencies and departments that spend all their time making these regulations.

Can you imagine if all the federal employees who monitor and threaten corporations to hire more girl bosses suddenly had no permission to do such things?  And then extend that to all of the other protected classes.  Imagine if a company could just hire who they wanted to based on nothing more than the fact that they considered someone the best choice?  Why that would be revolutionary.  And imagine if all the corporations could close down their HR departments and allow managers to hire their employees themselves?  Think of all the unemployed blue-haired cat ladies!  Think of the end of HR sponsored struggle sessions around gay pride week and rainbow flag decorations.  No more new acronyms like LGBTQIA and BiPOC and DEI and no more seminars on toxic masculinity, white privilege and hate speech.  And no more stupid slogans like “diversity is our strength.”  From now on everyone doing their damn jobs is our strength.

And after thinking about that I was sitting there with this stupid smile on my face for like five minutes.  And, of course, I knew it was just a ridiculous pipe dream.  But what a beautiful dream it was.  And really, it was completely within the bounds of what the Supreme Court could do.  And it was completely within the authority of what the President could do to respond to just such a Supreme Court decision.

It was completely logical and also completely impossible.  But it was the most beautiful dream I’ve had in a while.  It reminded me of a dream I had a few months ago where I imagined Donald Trump winning the 2024 election with a mandate and a congressional majority behind him.  It was dream like that.

Patriot Games

Lately, I find reality beginning to resemble 1980’s action movie plots.  We have CIA and FBI undercover operations freely mixing into our politics.  Whether it’s Russia-gate or Hunter’s laptop or any of the color revolution activities inside and outside of the United States, it just seems like there’s no longer any brakes on what intelligence agencies will do if they decide it’s in their interest.

It’s as if they’ve been reading too many Tom Clancy novels or something.  And now with Donald Trump taking the initiative by selecting nominees for Attorney General and other cabinet officers who could curtail these activities it almost seems like we’re approaching some kind of showdown between the elected government and the Deep State.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see where this could go.  Now the thing is, the intelligence agencies have a long-standing relationship with many of the senators who run the place.  With Senator Thune selected for Senate Majority Leader I wouldn’t be surprised if they are given marching orders to veto Trump’s nominees like Matt Gaetz.  What might happen might be that the Senate could veto Gaetz but Trump might make him an interim appointee.  I’m guessing that a year in office might be plenty enough to fire and prosecute plenty of Trump’s enemies.  And after the year I’m sure Trump will find plenty of other work for Gaetz.  And likewise for Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense.  You can fire a lot of generals and rescind a lot of DEI and LGBTQ policies in a year.

But it’s easy to see that the GOP establishment is still alive and well in the Senate.  Donald Trump has his work cut out for him and he’ll have to use every bit of the powers that the presidency possesses to bust up the Deep State.  I suspect he may have to declare a national emergency just to shut the border and deport the millions of illegal aliens.  And I don’t think the enemies of this country, foreign (the aliens) or domestic (governors like Gavin Newsom) will just roll over and play dead.  Trump is going to have to play hardball with them.  I don’t doubt that it will lead to violence.  And that’s one of the biggest reasons why he has to purge the military and the Justice Department of his enemies.  Otherwise, they will fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.

I think it will be fascinating to see who wins.  I’m sure the FBI and the CIA will “discover” another Russia-gate to investigate.  And various senators who work for Raytheon and the other defense contractors will accuse Trump of being soft on Russia for not wanting to keep the Ukraine war going for another ten years.  I hope that Donald Trump has learned his lesson and will fire all of the FBI, NSA, CIA and other intelligence agency enemies he has as soon as he gets into office.  And he should similarly fire as many woke generals as he can, as soon as he can.  I think his presidency depends on it.  And with no hint of exaggeration, his very life probably does too.

2024 Election Follies – The Recap

photog Current Events, Life in Dunwich, OCF, photog's Corner, Trump , , ,

Today was the first weekly zoom call I had with my work buddies since the election.  It goes without saying that high spirits and hilarity were the order of the day.  We compared the high we were getting from watching the compilation videos of despairing Kamala voters to the 2016 Hillary scream fests.  I think we agreed that the 2016 psychos were probably funnier but since we are more grateful in 2024 it was basically a wash.

We talked about some of the Trump cabinet picks and agreed that the panic and despair we had heard about inside the Deep State was a very good sign.  There was much schadenfreude expressed.

We compared notes on how things were going in our lives outside of politics and everyone seems excited about Thanksgiving this year.  Then we traded stories on “the Company” and how awful and woke it had become and how the stock price had dipped.  But even that hadn’t dampened our enthusiasm for the future.

I regaled them with stories about the elections here in Dunwich and they told me about the follies in their communities.  All very familiar.  One of the guys is an Indian American who used to be a Democrat.  So, we gave him a bunch of grief about how his relatives will now consider him a traitor for voting for Trump.  He told us the rationale that he uses to justify himself to his parents and other relatives and we hooted at how lame it all sounded.  We told him that as our official token POC and Indian American he must take all the blame for Trump winning and he must apologize to Kamala face to face.  He proceeded to say some very rude things in his best subcontinent English and that was that.

I had hoped this week would be a calm after the storm.  But commitments piled up and my first real breather doesn’t come until Thursday afternoon (I hope).  But from that point it should be clear sailing.  The last two years have been a kind of great experiment getting involved in elections and politics.  I’ve learned how it all works and now I know what is likely and what is unlikely with respect to election fraud.  What seems clearest is that mailing out absentee ballots and allowing “voters” to access ballot drop boxes is the weak link in election integrity.

There are well-documented cases of individuals stuffing drop boxes with dozens and even hundreds of ballots.  This is completely illegal and also extremely hard to prevent.  Other irregularities weren’t part of my experience.  I suppose if the ballot tabulators in some jurisdictions do not use paper ballots and are connected directly to the internet that any kind of skullduggery is possible.  I have to assume that any reasonably intelligent person would know that.  What happens going forward will depend completely on the state government in power.  Places like California and New England will allow whatever irregularities they deem helpful to the Democrats.  Hopefully, the red states will protect themselves from voter fraud and election fraud.  But many of the cities are run by Democrats and the state government will have to provide oversight to protect against it.  So, my great experiment has been somewhat successful.  Now how do I separate myself from this quite onerous responsibility?  Well, we’ll see.  The First Selectman doesn’t like to be disappointed.  To be continued.

A Miracle

photog Current Events, Trump , , ,

I have talked about several cases of a hopeless leftist feminist having a moment of clarity.  Well, here’s another one.

Maureen Dowd is a psychotic feminist harpy.  But something has finally snapped.  Here are some of the money quotes:

“Some Democrats are finally waking up and realizing that woke is broke.

“Donald Trump won a majority of white women and remarkable numbers of black and Latino voters and young men.”

 

“Democratic insiders thought people would vote for Kamala Harris, even if they didn’t like her, to get rid of Trump. But more people ended up voting for Trump, even though many didn’t like him, because they liked the Democratic Party less.”

 

“On CNN, Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky said that Democrats did not know how to talk to normal Americans.

Addressing Latinos as “Latinx” to be politically correct “makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet as they do,” she said.”

 

“Democratic candidates have often been avatars of elitism – Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and second-term Barack Obama. The party embraced a worldview of hyper-political correctness, condescension and cancellation”

Even a year ago this feminist shrew wouldn’t have dreamed of talking in honest terms about the hypocrisy and stupidity that passes for leftist orthodoxy.  But today she can.  The Democrat party is in disarray.  This proves it:

“Seth Moulton, a Democratic member of the House of Representatives (from Massachusetts!), said the party needs rebranding. “Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone,” he said. “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.””

Even a week ago that would have been called hate speech and Moulton would have been raked over the coals for being a transphobe.  But now Democrat voters are waking up to the fact that more than half the country doesn’t believe in their wacked out leftist nonsense.  And far from disqualifying them from being heard, it has qualified them to pick the next President of the United States.  And that won’t be Kamala Harris.

So, Dowd is starting to have rational thoughts well-up from her psyche.  Could she make it all the way back to sanity?  Will this cause her to lose her job at the New York Times?  Does this presage a larger movement of leftists coming to their senses and gravitating back to rational thought?

Only time will tell.  But it does give at least some hope that reality can penetrate into the woke hive mind.  Maybe a few of the less addled drones can be saved from the programming and return to normalcy.  Well, it was fun to even imagine for a second these crazed individuals coming to their senses.  Imagine if one of these crazy blue-haired cat ladies with a nose ring who go off on a rant about withholding sex from conservative men suddenly had a moment of lucidity and realized that if she just lost fifty pounds and ditched the nose ring and let her hair go back to its normal color, she could maybe get a date with a normal guy and maybe start enjoying life again.

Now wouldn’t that be a miracle.

 

Update:

Hat Tip to Master Diver for the link on Day by Day.  And welcome to all the folks coming over from there!

Orange Man Good

photog Current Events, OCF, Trump

Even here in accursed Dunwich, Donald Trump’s victory has reverberated through the ether and shaken the very foundations of reality.  The First Selectman paused while gulping down a bus full of convention-bound orthodontists and was heard to say, “I like the cut of that orange-man’s jib!”

No fooling.  Regardless of political stripe, every non-leftist has been knocked for a loop by the enormity of Trump’s victory.  Even dyed in the wool voting deriders like the ZMan have acclaimed the power of Trump’s hold on more than half the country.  And even as the dissident right reasserts their conviction that “we can’t vote our way out of this,” nevertheless, they applaud his fearless crusade to wreak a terrible vengeance against his Deep State enemies and drive official Washington insane with fear and trepidation.

And my hat is off to him.  It’s not that I now believe he’ll be able to vanquish the managerial state, but I honor the courage of his attempt.  And the idealist side of me is galvanized by the prospect of Donald Trump firing the entire executive layers of the FBI, State Department and DOJ.  I’d give a whole lot to see all of those tin-pot Stalins crying on the pages of the New York Times and Washington Post about how unjustly they’ve been treated.  And I’d love to see Comey brought up on charges in front of a real grand jury from outside of DC.

But the realist side of me doesn’t think it’s going to happen.  I think Trump will make things somewhat better.  I don’t think he’ll drain the swamp.  What I hope he’ll do is pardon all the people who were persecuted during Biden’s term, deport the illegal immigrants and use executive orders to give the red states the breathing room they’ll need over the course of the next four years to start the difficult process of inoculating their states and citizens, as much as it is possible, from the non-constitutional interference of the federal government.

What would be fortuitous is if the Supreme Court strikes down the rest of the unconstitutional “rights” that the liberal majority discovered; homosexuality, gay marriage and affirmative action.  With those issues back in the purview of the states we would see conservative states restoring normalcy to their people while places like California and New York could enjoy all the incredible benefits of Kindergarten Drag Queen story hour, transgender girls’ sports supremacy and pediatric trans-affirming surgeries to their hearts’ content.

So, I’ll finish by saluting the Orange Man for being a phenomenon that has transformed conservative politics definitively.  His exposure of the phoniness of all the establishment Republicans opened millions of people’s eyes to reality and banished those craven losers to the ash heap of history.  The Bushes, Cheneys, Romneys and all their ilk.  And all the “conservative” journalist grifters whom he relegated to cesspools like the Bulwark.  He has done a tremendous service for this country.  And I believe we are responsible for using the knowledge he gave us wisely.  Never allow yourself to be frightened into thinking you have to say things you don’t believe in.  Never try to convince yourself that something that is nonsense should be accepted because otherwise someone’s feelings might be hurt.  Never entertain the idea that there might be a conservative case for castrating children.  Use the knowledge he has given us as a tool for navigating the dangerous waters we find ourselves in.

New Media Buries the MSM

photog Current Events, OCF, Trump , ,

I think this may be the most interesting analysis of the media battle for the 2024 election,  He says the MSM was the voice of the Deep State and this time America stopped listening to them.  Trump is a fascist.  Trump is literally Hitler.  Trump will personally rape all of America’s cat ladies.  It didn’t work.

And even as I get out of the business of being a voice of the great right-wing conspiracy I’ll take my tiny bit of credit for making the MSM a spent force.

Three cheers for us.

Hey Christopher Wray, Brace Yourself

photog Current Events, Trump , ,

So what’s likely to happen to an agency of the federal government if it harasses and persecutes a presidential candidate and then he wins the presidency?

Well, if that agency is the FBI and that candidate is Donald Trump I’m guessing there are going to be an awful lot of unemployed FBI big-wigs.

And it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys.

“The Washington Times learned through several anonymous bureau sources that senior executives who run the agency were “stunned” and “shell-shocked” by Mr. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.”

And besides the personal animus of the incoming president there is fear that a general purge of the department is possible:

“Additionally, many on the 7th floor of the FBI are concerned about billionaire tech executive Elon Musk, owner of X and Tesla, being brought into the Trump administration as head of a government efficiency commission.

“When he tries to do efficiency at headquarters, the place is going to have five people … if he’s talking about a lot of dead weight,” a second FBI source said.”

Well, they say what goes around comes around and I couldn’t be happier.  If he doesn’t shut the whole place down I hope he gets Congress to neuter them so they can never threaten the freedoms of the American people again.

I only wish prosecutions of Wray and Garland were likely.  I hate those crooked bastards for what they did to a lot of innocent people on January 6th.

Segueing Into a Brilliant Future

photog Current Events, Life in Dunwich, My Fiction, OCF, photog's Corner, Trump ,

So, the fireworks are finished and now we go a couple of months until Trump enters the White House.  In the meantime, the Deep State tries to figure out how to destroy his presidency.  And they’ll also try to save the Ukraine misadventure.  Although I can’t see that working.  Without tens of billions of dollars’ worth of weapons and support Ukraine is going to collapse.

But from our point of view there’s really not much to talk about.  Whether the Republicans have a three or a four man lead in the Senate or Mike Johnson has a ten or eleven man lead in the House isn’t all that important.  The fact that Mike Johnson isn’t Paul Ryan is somewhat significant.  But all of the action starts happening in January.  And really, we won’t know anything right away because it will take a bunch of weeks for Trump to get his Cabinet sworn in.

My point is that there’s really not much of substance to say.  Basically, Joe Biden destroyed the country and Kamala Harris was his Vice President.  And on top of that she is a terrible candidate.  So, Americans rejected both of them and hired Donald Trump to fix the country.  Yay, for our side.

So now I have to figure out a new tack for my writing and my on-line existence.  I can’t see the need to document the Trump/Washington war on a day-to-day basis.  Undoubtedly there will be events that will inspire me to write at length.  But a daily journal of that will be excessive.  Instead, I want to spend the majority of my writing time on fiction.  Also, photography is the other focus I want to feature on the site.  And of course I’ll provide reviews of books, movies and music as I find it.

So, let’s see how all this goes.  Probably the difference will be hardly noticeable to the casual reader.  And the extra time for writing will allow me to finish my first book and see how that works out.  I’m of course expecting at least a ten million books sold in the first year and then up from there.  I’ll probably be asked by the Trump administration to become a key advisor to the President on all cultural matters.  I suppose that goes without saying.  But it won’t affect my trademark humility and love for the common man.  My only extravagance will be an exact replica of a Packard Eight constructed almost entirely of tantalum.  Well, maybe I’ll get Camera Girl a Dyson vacuum cleaner too.  She’s been good.

So, the future is upon us and it’s all sunshine and sharkskin suits as far as the eye can see.  We all will march into this bright future thanks to the final humiliation and banishment of Biden and Harris and the ascension to the throne of the once and future king; Donald J. Trump.  Long may he mock our enemies and exaggerate his accomplishments.  Let’s just his (and our) luck holds out long enough to staunch the bleeding of this once great land.  We really could use a break.
