THE OWL AND THE PUSSY-CAT.

I.

THE Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea⁠

⁠In a beautiful pea-green boat,

They took some honey, and plenty of money

Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,

And sang to a small guitar,

“O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,

What a beautiful Pussy you are,

⁠You are,

⁠You are!

What a beautiful Pussy you are!”

 

II.

Pussy said to the Owl, “You elegant fowl!

⁠How charmingly sweet you sing!

O let us be married! too long we have tarried:

⁠But what shall we do for a ring?”

They sailed away, for a year and a day,

⁠To the land where the Bong-tree grows

And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood

⁠With a ring at the end of his nose,

⁠His nose,

⁠His nose,

⁠With a ring at the end of his nose.

 

III.

“Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling

Your ring?” Said the Piggy, “I will.”

So they took it away, and were married next day

⁠By the Turkey who lives on the hill.

They dinèd on mince, and slices of quince,

⁠Which they ate with a runcible spoon;

And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,

⁠They danced by the light of the moon,

⁠The moon,

⁠The moon,

⁠They danced by the light of the moon.

Guest Contributor – ArthurinCali – 14JUN2023 – Transphobic Latino White Supremacists

One factor seldom noted in the discussions regarding the brave new world of Transanity and the courts is the multicultural makeup of the USA, and the effects these proposed ‘laws’ would have on multiple communities that absolutely reject this warped gender ideology. While mainstream media attempts to paint every protest and backlash as the work of white supremacist and MAGA people, the truth, as always, is more complex and nuanced than they let on. See the recent uproar at the Glendale, California school where a community of over 200K Armenian-Americans and Latinos stood up to the school for trying to incorporate queer studies into the curriculum. Other incidents of pushback around the country are either ignored, or portrayed as a minority of bigots by MSM. When large groups of brown folks such as Muslims are seen on video having their children stomp on the rainbow banner, the media narrative becomes…complicated. Where it all leads is still a guess, but the Left’s hubris that victory is all but guaranteed for their deviant agenda is the height of their self-assured pride in this cause. There is more resistance to this ideology than what has been acknowledged.

“If You Love Your Children You Need to Flee California”

That’s clear and simple enough.

If This Goes On … Then What? – Part 2

One of the most distinctive aspects of the Left’s agenda is their devotion to deviant sexuality.  The so-called LGBTQ agenda has become the most important cause for the global elites around the world.  And the extremes to which this agenda will go to silence dissent knows no bounds.  Currently deviating from the new rules on “pronouns” can get you fired from your job, thrown off the internet and in certain states hauled into court.

Worse still, in places like California there are laws that will allow the state to sexually mutilate your children against your will.  Pediatric transitioning is a multi-billion-dollar industry that is based on the premise that pre-teens can know that they need to be changed into members of the opposite sex based on an innate feeling that they were born into the wrong body.  So, kids who aren’t assumed to be responsible enough to drink beer or get a tattoo somehow know what it will be like to be an adult of the opposite sex and can judge that the horrific surgeries needed to simulate this transition and the pain and suffering that they will experience for the rest of their lives, will be a reasonable course of action.

Needless to say, this is a revolutionary movement that flies in the face of sanity, decency and the rock bottom human instinct to preserve children from harm.  And finally, a reaction against it is beginning to appear around the country, most powerfully in Florida where Governor Ron DeSantis has led the charge against grammar school teachers and school board members grooming children for acceptance of the LGBTQ madness.  And Florida and some other states are even outlawing so-called “gender-affirming medical procedures” or more accurately, puberty blocking drugs, trans-sex hormones and sexual mutilation of children.

So, there is some hope.  Things could turn around and other aspects of the LGBTQ agenda could be reversed.  One possibility for this involves the Supreme Court reversing the gay marriage decision and even reversing the finding for a constitutional right to homosexual behavior.  But none of these things are clear one way or the other.  Once again, we are in a gray zone where things can go either way.  What are the possible outcomes?

The worse case scenario is the complete victory of the LGBTQ movement with pediatric transitioning becoming the law of the land and even pedophilia decriminalized.  This is the eventual victory that the deviants have been working toward all along.  This would render America an abomination that would cry out for the biblical reckoning that Sodom earned.

I think the middle scenario is the establishment in certain states of laws protecting children from the LGBTQ agenda.  The banning of pediatric transitioning and the strengthening of parental rights to prevent schools and other surrogates from proselytizing children into these deviant lifestyles would represent a specific line in the sand that could provide some sort of brake on the race to the bottom that we currently see going on in our society.

The best-case scenario would be a combination of several fortunate occurrences.  If the Supreme Court were to reverse the decisions on gay marriage and the constitutional protection for homosexual behavior this would provide the red states with the basis for rolling back a whole host of problems that plague our current society.  For me one of the best results would be not having to see the acronym LGBTQIA used everywhere I look.  Also, the term drag queen story hour would disappear from the lexicon except among weirdos in places like California and New York.  In other words, life would become a little like a paradise, relatively speaking.

Alright, here’s the moment of truth.  Which future do I think most likely?

Once again, I think the middle path most likely.  Protecting children is a pretty basic instinct.  I think in most places it will put a stop to the worst excesses of the sexual revolution.  At least that’s my guess.

Which one do you think will happen?

I’m Back Baby!

From approximately 1am to about 8:30 am the site was down.  It had to do with the hosting service changing an IP address and my firewall not being in synch with it.  And because my pitiful web skills are pitiful it took me an hour to get things back up after returning to consciousness this morning.

Everything should be copasetic.  Please forgive the interruption.

If This Goes On … Then What? – Part 1

photog Current Events

A plethora of disturbing phenomena envelop our world.  You know the list of problems.  Cultural, economic, psychological, medical, legal, military, academic, artistic, esthetic issues, even the definition of what a man or a woman is have become areas of societal turmoil.

And these are not just ideological conflicts.  We have almost every major city descending into mayhem and rampant theft.  The stability of our largest corporations is threatened by turmoil in the banking industry caused by enormous shifts in interest rates.  Intentional government targeting of hydrocarbon fuels has caused the price of fuel to increase substantially and with it the price of almost all commodities has also increased drastically.  And going along with these economic upheavals the personal finances of ordinary Americans have been severely negatively impacted.

And yet nothing happens.  At any other time in our history a mid-term election during such a crisis would have severely punished the incumbent president’s party.  Both houses of Congress would have flipped and a mandate would exist to fix these problems.  But the House barely went to the Republicans and the Senate stayed with the Democrats.  I won’t address the why of this anomaly.  Whether it’s hatred of Trump or changing demographics or voter fraud, the reality is the Democrats are running things in Washington.

The question I’m asking is, how does this end?

Of course, I don’t know the answer.  But I can look at the trends and extrapolate.

As an example, let’s look at the urban crime problem.  What are the possibilities?

The worst-case scenario is that nothing changes and crime is allowed to increase along the current lines.  At some point it will reach a threshold where the majority of working- and middle-class citizens are forced to flee out of fear for their lives.  That is the Detroit scenario.  But imagine this is all of the big cities in the United States.  It is almost unimaginable.  And yet I consider it one of the actual outcomes.  This scenario would lead to great changes in the social fabric of this country.  The urban/rural polarization would mimic the Left/Right divide in the populace.  And witnessing such an outcome would harden the opinions of both sides as to the blame for such a catastrophe.

The middle case is a slight moderation of the crime problem.  This entails a partial restoration of law and order.  But not back to the heyday of effective policing that held sway in the 2000’s and 2010’s.  Instead, it would be similar to the criminality that existed during the mid-1990’s.  This is imaginable because we’ve already seen it.  It’s possible that this outcome could be a stable situation with cities able to attract enough immigrants willing to brave the hazards of urban life to keep the whole show going.

And finally, the best-case scenario has the Democratic voters caving in to fear of crime and voting in a Republican “law and order” administration.  This would mimic what progressive New York City did in the late 1990s by electing Republican Rudy Giuliani as mayor on a platform of restoring law and order to that crime-ridden metropolis.

My guess is the second scenario.  I can see Democrats learning to live in fear as long as they can consider themselves good people for rejecting the law and order of the evil racist Republicans.

But which scenario do you think will prevail?
