Thanks for the Canada shout out.

Yes, TDS has migrated north and infected all the pro Covid mandate folks. Funny seeing leftist activists I know (including Extinction Rebellion folks), and friends as well push Liberal Party propaganda and seriously considering voting for Mark Carney, a perfect example of a globalist/neoliberal banker. Carney’s wife even has ties to Ghislaine Maxwell/Jeffrey Epstein and the Carney’s transitioned their kid at Tavistock.

Guess it is time for me to wave the flag and gulp some maple syrup. Shame Canada!

"I rarely mention my weird protestant pagan pantheon of 21st Century Norse gods, along with a few others, but I can safely say they are of the unanimous opinion that Wisconsinites have no duty to vote for this crap, and those who do open themselves up to mindfuckery by Loki. "

Reminiscent of Dewey vs Truman ehh?

Not at all. Dewey and Truman were both at least somewhat competent, and weren't outright owned by oligarchs. More like Barnum vs. Bailey.

So was my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Like most secret society theories with the society going back centuries or millennia, there's an element of truth to the one I suspect you're peddling. People and families who want to increase their wealth, power and influence always do conspire, after all.

The thing is, a LOT of those always end up pointing the finger to blame all our woes on the Jews, and that one goes all the way back to St. Paul, who would have made a great televangelist. It was a lie then, a necessary one if Paul wanted to convert any Romans to his new gospel, and has spawned legions of offspring ever since.

Pontius Pilate didn't need the approval of ANY Jews to execute the Nazarene, and I'm sure Paul damned well knew that. In fact, Pilate was such a sadistic bastard that he went too far for the Emperor Caligula, who recalled him. The Nazarene didn't respect political authority; that was enough for Pilate to crucify him all by itself.

The Jews were never the Christkillers. That was all on the Roman Empire, and on imperialism. Even then, the imperialists always blamed the locals for what they themselves did.

The Black Hundreds, the pogroms, the expulsion of the Jews from several Christian countries, Nazism and Zionism are all part of the legacy of Paul's essential lie, which I have considered and rejected.

Fuck ALL of that shit.

As always, great reflections that make keeping up with current events a little more bearable...Though my heart is with the Palestinians, .I just can no longer read updates on what is happening there.

Don't label Bernie Sanders an "invertebrate". That's insulting to worms, who are very useful in the garden. ;-)

I saw a picture of a Canadian Trump supporter. Oh, dear... The TDS illness is spreading rapidly across North America. I'm wearing a mask.

Sorry, earthworms. No offense meant.

Some of the Canadian stuff--I've seen it here on Substack as well--is like a reverse Canadian Bacon. I keep expecting Canadians to fly drones into American airspace playing Anne Murray very, very loudly.

Maybe Rush? (They're Canadian, right?)

I love Rush. If Canadians send drones blasting them over Cleveland, I'll buy a maple leaf flag.

I laughed... I cried.... I appreciated the feline features of that Maine Coon Cat! If he's a boy, let's call him John Holmes.

When my husband and I are over our health frustrations (weird bronchitis for me, & hip surgery for him) we wanna boogie on up to Niagara on the Lake to see if anyone there wants to talk around the fire about our country's similar issues. I been wanting to do this with whoever's willing from a major MAGA community because it's the same with them, damn it. Let's have this conversation.
