American Mind Explains Trump’s Appeal

photog Current Events

Here’s a very good article that explains why the Right is voting for Trump.  Trump is the symbol of our revolt from the Uniparty sham that our elections represent.  Trump represents a vote for “none of the above” where all the other choices are establishment ringers.  I think Ron DeSantis has done great things for Florida but I’ll vote for Trump as a protest against the fake democracy that is being foisted off on us.

When we lose in 2024 I hope the people like Trump and DeSantis and the few honest men left in government get together and try to work around the federal government to save what’s left of America by building a network of private and state resources to try to help us survive in the hellscape that will be America in 2024.

I think a lot can be done.  And maybe it can be the basis for a new country existing in the hollowed out shell of the old one.  Or maybe I’m just whistling past the graveyard.

Why Won’t Republicans Move On From Trump?

MANDALAY

 

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin’ eastward to the sea,

There’s a Burma girl a-settin’, and I know she thinks o’ me;

For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:

‘Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!’

 

Come you back to Mandalay,

Where the old Flotilla lay:

Can’t you ’ear their paddles chunkin from Rangoon to Mandalay?

On the road to Mandalay,

Where the flyin’-fishes play,

An’ the dawn comes up like thunder outer China ’crost the Bay!

 

’Er petticoat was yaller an’ ’er little cap was green,

An’ ’er name was Supi-yaw-lat—jes’ the same as Theebaw’s Queen,

An’ I seed her first a-smokin’ of a whackin’ white cheroot,

An’ a-wastin’ Christian kisses on an ’eathen idol’s foot:

 

Bloomin’ idol made o’ mud—

What they called the Great Gawd Budd—

Plucky lot she cared for idols when I kissed ’er where she stud!

On the road to Mandalay, etc.

 

When the mist was on the rice-fields an’ the sun was droppin’ slow,

She’d git ’er little banjo an’ she’d sing ‘Kulla-lo-lo!’

With ’er arm upon my shoulder an’ ’er cheek agin my cheek

We useter watch the steamers an’ the hathis pilin’ teak.

 

Elephints a-pilin’ teak

In the sludgy, squdgy creek,

Where the silence ’ung that ’eavy you was ’arf afraid to speak!

On the road to Mandalay, etc.

 

But that’s all shove be’ind me—long ago an’ fur away,

An’ there ain’t no ’busses runnin’ from the Bank to Mandalay;

An’ I’m learnin’ ’ere in London what the ten-year soldier tells:

‘If you’ve ’eard the East a-callin’, you won’t never ’eed naught else.’

 

No! you won’t ’eed nothin’ else

But them spicy garlic smells,

An’ the sunshine an’ the palm-trees an’ the tinkly temple-bells;

On the road to Mandalay, etc.

 

I am sick o’ wastin’ leather on these gritty pavin’-stones,

An’ the blasted Henglish drizzle wakes the fever in my bones;

Tho’ I walks with fifty ’ousemaids outer Chelsea to the Strand,

An’ they talks a lot o’ lovin’, but wot do they understand?

 

Beefy face an’ grubby ’and

—Law! wot do they understand?

I’ve a neater, sweeter maiden in a cleaner, greener land!

On the road to Mandalay, etc.

 

Ship me somewheres east of Suez, where the best is like the worst,

Where there aren’t no Ten Commandments an’ a man can raise a thirst;

For the temple-bells are callin’, and it’s there that I would be—

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, looking lazy at the sea;

 

On the road to Mandalay,

Where the old Flotilla lay,

With our sick beneath the awnings when we went to Mandalay!

Oh the road to Mandalay,

Where the flyin’-fishes play,

An’ the dawn comes up like thunder outer China ’crost the Bay!

The Trans Backlash

photog Current Events , , ,

The Trans Backlash is real.  Multiple signs show that most people think that the trans-movement is an unhealthy mindset that is especially dangerous for children to become involved in.  Even authorities in such hopelessly progressive countries as Sweden and England are admitting that allowing children to decide if they should be subjected to genital mutilation and hormone treatments is insanity and should be considered child abuse.  Even homosexuals are coming forward and saying that transitioning children is madness.

Only the ultra-insane authorities in California and Oregon are doubling down on pediatric transitioning.  But it seems that we are seeing a large segment of the American population saying they’re fed up with the LGBTQ movement and their allies in corporate America foisting “pride” on the population and children in particular.

I find this extremely encouraging.  Not because I think that we’ve won anything yet.  I’m just enheartened to see that there’s any fight at all left in this country.  Just seeing Anheuser Busch getting buried with expired beer is reason to celebrate.  There are still enough normal people who are willing to take a tiny stand and throw the finger at our tormentors and their corporate lackeys.

Now, where does it go from here?  I guess the first real victory would be if Anheuser Busch cries uncle and provides a real apology and promises to completely forsake identity politics.  That would be a win.  And it wouldn’t hurt if they put out a few bikini bimbo ad campaigns to show their hearts are with their main customer demographic.

After that I’d say that the 2024 elections should be a referendum about electing state and federal officials who will pledge to make transitioning children illegal nationwide.  That would be a remarkable achievement.  That would hit these doctors and drug companies in their bottom lines.  And after that I think the federal and state governments have to root out the individuals and organizations that allow our grammar schools to be hotbeds for this gender dysphoria contagion.  Specifically, the organizations like GLAAD and the Human Rights Campaign need to be investigated and exposed for their part in shaking down corporations and proselytizing children with harmful delusions about their bodies.

Well, so there’s my dream outcome.  What will really happen?  Who knows.  Americans are very hard to motivate.  Boycotts require focus, determination and cooperation.  And Americans have none of these things.  We’re lazy.  But maybe, just maybe, the idea of children being mutilated elicits enough primal survival reflex that even lazy Americans will get up off their recliners and vote for their elected officials or motivate them to drive an extra ten minutes to avoid buying crap from a company that wants their kids turned into sterile monsters.

We’ll see.  I won’t speculate where the smart money is on this question.  You already know.  But at least right now I’m enjoying the spectacle of Anheuser Busch and Target and North Face finding themselves on the wrong side of a public that is sick to death of hearing about how proud we all are of sodomy.  I’ll start with that.

Backlash Against Trans is Scaring the Left

photog Current Events ,

The boycott of Bud Light and the subsequent furor over Target has hit a nerve on the Left.  And Matt Walsh has been identified as the one spearheading the effort.  He has cheerlead the various reactions to the “pride” policies of the various woke corporations.  And he understands how doing this rattles these corporations by hitting them where it hurts; their bottom line.

““The goal is to make ‘pride’ toxic for brands. If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain,” Walsh tweeted on Wednesday.”

And the deviant industrial complex has taken note:

“Drennen said that part of what is allowing Walsh to get traction is his increased national recognition in efforts to restrict transition-related medical care for minors. In February, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves invited Walsh to speak ahead of Reeves signing a bill to ban transition-related care for minors in the state. Earlier that month, NBC News reported that Walsh’s advocacy also influenced Tennessee’s decision to reject more than $8 million in federal funds to combat HIV.

“All of this is a coordinated attempt to make it untenable to be specifically trans in public,” Drennen said. “And one of the ways that they’ve attempted to do this is by removing any kind of political support, any kind of corporate support — just basically making it untenable to be an ally to the trans community. And I think that’s the real connective tissue between these.””

So good!  Keep up the effort Matt Walsh and good for everyone who is willing to give up a Bud Light or a trip to Target to send a message to these people who want to turn this world into a hellhole of mutilated children and depravity.
