With positive news seeping out of the frozen ground from all directions, I must tamp down this elation that I\u2019m feeling.\u00a0 With Canadians behaving in a very unCanadian-like manner, Dementia Joe mocked and despised by the majority of Americans and Progressives and their agenda in a shambles, it\u2019s very difficult for me to maintain my proper red-pilled gloom.\u00a0 And just for good measure, we had the grandkids over last night for a big Italian dinner and it\u2019s a brilliant sunny day (admittedly frigid but brilliant) today and I feel pretty damn good.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s funny, I was reading some posts from uber-leftists in the Atlantic and Slate and even that tripe couldn\u2019t depress me.\u00a0 I guess it\u2019s because they sound so desperate to want to believe that any day now the Biden administration will become more popular than beer.\u00a0 There was one dope writing in, I think, the Atlantic that was telling the progressives that better days were coming soon.\u00a0 That conservatives were no fun.\u00a0 They were sexual prudes and anti-intellectuals who don\u2019t read.\u00a0 The basis for this opinion was that there were anti-abortion bills being passed in red states and that parents were objecting to 1619 Project books being forced on children in their schools.<\/p>\n

Now how exactly that squares with the reality of the modern Left\u2019s current attitudes is sort of a mystery.\u00a0 All the book banning I\u2019ve heard about comes from the Left.\u00a0 They won\u2019t even let books be published if they object to the subject matter.\u00a0 And as for sex, the young people today have become so confused and frightened by the leftist rules and attitudes about being male or female they don\u2019t even want to have sex any more.\u00a0 So, reading that article actually had me laughing.\u00a0 Imagine thinking anyone would be flocking to hang out in a leftist struggle session.\u00a0 I mean there\u2019s nothing sexier and more intellectual than a gaggle of transgender Karens talking about their sex lives and listing the books you\u2019re not allowed to read.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just say it\u2019s a good day.\u00a0 I took some photos of a gang of turkeys that were walking through the property and I see some icicles on the shed that\u2019ll make a nice photo.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got some writing to do and maybe a little shoveling on the lower driveway but that will be a nice bit of exercise for the afternoon.\u00a0 Sure, the price of food and everything else has gotten ridiculous and maybe that will get to be problem by and by but that\u2019s just how it goes.\u00a0 We\u2019re not starving and we can still pay the taxes and who knows when I finish that novel it may be wildly successful and I\u2019ll have to find a tax shelter to protect my billions in sales.\u00a0 And I was watching a documentary on the \u201cDustbowl\u201d back in the 1930\u2019s and just seeing what those poor people endured puts my small problems in a much better perspective.\u00a0 Those people lost children to the health hazards of the dust and lost everything they owned in the world.\u00a0 They had to travel thousands of miles to a place that didn\u2019t want them and beg for back breaking stoop labor that paid next to nothing.\u00a0 I guess I can put up with Dopey Joe for a few more years before he gets sent to the cracker factory by Dr. Jill and Hunter.<\/p>\n

Mostly everything I hear is good news.\u00a0 Even that thing about GoFundMe stealing the truckers\u2019 money turned around and they had to refund the donors.\u00a0 I heard it was because Ron DeSantis threatened to sue GoFundMe.\u00a0 Good for him!\u00a0 Now there\u2019s another crowdfund site to help the truckers.\u00a0 All good.<\/p>\n

So, I hope your Sunday is going as well as mine.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be back with something more substantial when I see it.<\/p>\n

Wanted: Local Political Contributors<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the Primary and General Off-Year Elections creep up on us I’m interested in getting posts from readers about their local political scene.\u00a0 Places like Texas, Colorado, Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina, Illinois, Minnesota are represented by readers here.\u00a0 Even Canada and Australia have local political stories that some of our readers might want to provide.\u00a0 So if you are interested in sharing your perspective on your local politics, get in touch.\u00a0 Either leave a comment or send an e-mail to orionscoldfire at charter dot net.\u00a0 Anonymity is, of course, perfectly fine and if you prefer to discuss local cultural issues instead of or in addition to politics that also is encouraged.\u00a0 I’ll add this want-ad to the footer of the posts for a while to see if I can entice any readers to write.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
