for the Republic, and and it’s people that make it strong:

Firstly: This gem  from “Area Ocho”

Made me get all misty eyed. I don’t know where and I don’t know when it happened.

But when I tried to find out that info as to where/when, I also came across this:

Crowd sings national anthem after announcer says it wouldn’t be played

(California, no less! Now this was back in 2018, but still…)

It must take a very special kind of stupid to decide to forego the national anthem at ballgames and such. Personally I think the crowd should take the time (and physical effort) to make sure the person choosing to not have an Anthem understands the error of their ways…..”pour encourager les autres”…

In the Department of Defense has a smidgen of sense:

Pentagon cancels Pride Drag Show at Nellis AFB: The drag show was shut down by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley who claimed such events are ‘not a suitable use of federal funds and resources.’ 

About fuckin’ time someone put a stop to this bullshit in the DOD.

Enough is enough. Finally someone in command realizes that.

Like it is a surprise to anyone with the cognitive ability of broccoli

Chinese top scientist says “Don’t rule out the possibility of a lab leak”

One wonders why OUR government here in the US spent so much time trying to deny the possibility of a lab leak. Every top official that said it wasn’t should be investigated for Chinese influence.

Then shot for treason.

GLAAD says that it is only “a small group of extremists that are threatening disgusting and harsh violence in response to Target continuing its long-standing tradition of offering products for everyone should be a wake-up call for consumers” and that we should not be swayed by them….

But really  the entire Trans/LGBT/Gay/Pedo whatever population is…..only a small minority of the US population

People who identify as L, G, or B are 3.5%

T are 0.3 percent.

Total 3.8 % (figures and data can be found at this source)

SO they are a “very small minority” as well….but they have a outsized amount of influence…..in marketing, media and other social influences. Why is that?

If we follow GLAAD’s lead, since they are such a “small minority” we should just ignore them. But the Media and the government and the advertising and corporate folks won’t. They give the LGBTQ+ (and the pedos) an overwhelmingly large amount of influence. Why is that?

So we have Bud light, Target, North Face, and now Kohls.

All pushing the trans agenda, with Target and Kohls pushing it for KIDS as well.

Each brand thus damaging their sales and reputation.

So where is this coming from. Once is happenstance, twice coincidence, three times enemy action….and now a fourth.

Someone is pulling the strings to make this happen. Target and Kohls had to have their orders in about a year ago for products to be available to put on the shelf today….so this plan had to be in place at least 12 months ago. Add in Bud Light’s stupidity just before the Target debacle, and it seems to be more than a coincidence….

Even yet, neither Target nor Kohls chose to not continue…to not stop and to not put the merchandise and the merchandising on hold (or cancel it completely) even after seeing what happened to Bud Light/InBev. Someone is attempting to push this, and that someone has the power to influence major chains like Target and Kohls….and a plan to make it all happen at the same time. Someone has the ability to force 2 major retailers to keep the push on and try to sell trans merchandise even in the face of the rejection by the public of Bud Light over an ad campaign. Someone to force this even with them knowing how much it would hurt them financially.  (I am assuming that North Face is just “Woke and Stupid”, trying to follow, but there may be something sinister there as well).

I’m not gonna tell ya to put on yer tinfoil fedora just yet, but it is looking more and more like someone (or someones) has not only the intent to push the Trans agenda onto the rest of us, even in the face of opposition, but  the POWER to force major chains to do so even knowing they will face major backlash from their customers and face great financial damage in doing so….. They can’t be stupid enough to not know what was going to happen once the Bud Light idiocy happened. Yet they continued their path.

I cannot believe that the folks running Target, and Kohls got their positions by being that stupid……so even if they are Woke and Liberal, They must have known what was coming…..they must have been forced to continue even in spite of the damage they had to know they would take.

I find that thought scary. Someone has the power to force huge corporations to do things they know will lose BILLIONS….that is real power. What else can they do?

is trickling out about the multiple tens of thousands of people killed by the medical establishment because they were unnecessarily put onto a ventilator  during the Covid-19 crisis in early 2020.

Again, we see the fact that the medical establishment failed to practice MEDICINE and instead followed the fashion-of-the-moment in care rather than actually diagnosing and treating individual patients infected with the Chinese virus.

It appears that nearly 50,000 people were put on ventilators even when they failed to meet the criteria for their use….but that was the current treatment trend and so medical establishments just followed it….even though the use of the ventilator was likely more dangerous than the disease itself.

Medical Fashion rather than actual Medical Science.

And they wonder why people don’t trust the medical establishment anymore…..It’s because they have trashed their credibility as badly as the FBI.

To be fair, at the time many doctors said that the ventilators were being overused…but they were shouted down by the medical establishment leaders.

All that hype for a bug that was (for most people) not too much worse than a bad case of flu. Add in the number of people who died WITH covid rather than FROM covid, and I wonder how many people whose deaths were actually excess because of covid.

We’ll likely never know.

No. Just no.

At the very least, keep the limit where it is.

Cut some spending. Go across the board a minimum of 5%.

Then we can talk about where else to cut and other remedies.

Don’t raise the limit even one red cent.

No new taxes either. Just stop the bloat.

Hold the line.

in about 10 days.

Target has, apparently, lost that much money that fast.

Apparently they overestimated the level of support for the gay/trans/LGBT agenda….

I did notice that the local Target store’s parking lot was less than 1/3 full this weekend, where most other parking lots were full or nearly so.

Apparently the Boycott is massive.

More than just an extra day off

More than a parade and a get together.

Today is a remembrance. A day to honor those who gave their lives for the country.

It is about honoring those men and women who sacrificed for their fellow citizens, who died defending a way of life, and idea, a Constitution….

More than just a name on a wall you’ll never visit, or a plaque you’ll never read. People who sacrificed, who are worthy of our thanks.

And, damnit, they deserve better than to be forgotten so that people can have an extra day off. Step up, take a moment, raise a glass. Say thanks.

You can do more, but you really should at least remember. Never ever forget.

I mean, you spend all that time, effort, and money to get a car and driver into the Indy 500. Probably over a million dollars just to earn a starting position….

And at the start of the race your car won’t start because it has a dead battery.  A simple dead battery. You’d think that that would be one of the things your team would verify at the beginning of the day of racing. Chargers are cheap, or simply put in a freshly charged new one a few hours before the race. Do they not have a Before Race car preparation plan?  (You know, check tire pressures, oil, fuel,, make sure the windscreen tear-offs are in place, lug nut on each tire is correctly tightened, etc.) A checklist? Or are they just winging the whole thing? What kind of management is there if this can happen?

That simple oversight cost the Rahal Racing team 2 laps….at the start of the race.

There are so many things that can go wrong, things that break, things that just happen. But if you don’t eliminate the things you can, you start out at a disadvantage.

Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot.
