We see these fanatics, many that are emerging in the democrat Party. One of the top democrat spokespersons is Hasan Piker who is calling for a Mao type revolution here in America. Bernie and AOC love this guy. And the Democrat fanatics will follow him right off the cliff. I know dozens of these people. A great example of this type of fanatic was a guy named Vyacheslav Molotov who was Stalins 2nd in command. A radical revolutionary that was so radical even after Stalin threw Molotov’s own loving wife in the gulag Molotov still loved Stalin right up until the day he died. These are the types of radical brainwashed fanatics we are dealing with. Even when their own family is seriously harmed, like lemmings they still follow.
The Mental Disorder (cont.)
There’s a bar that opened in Greenfield Massachusetts called The Last Ditch Bar and Art Center. It was 3 woke lesbian communists that took out a “loan” for 50 thousand dollars and opened a bar where if you couldn’t afford it the drinks were free. Oh yah, wearing n-95 masks was mandatory 7 days a week.
Well 2 of the 3 partners decided they didn’t want to run a bar any longer and quit. One of the exiting partners decided to go to clown school. The 3rd partner got stuck holding the bag. She said she is now working 4 jobs, has become homeless, is living in her truck, is behind on the bar rent and is about to be evicted. This is socialism in a nut, and I mean nut, shell.
Well because she is complaining about working 4 jobs, being homeless, credit has gone to crap, she decided to make Saturday nights mask free if you want. Well the other 2 partners and thousands of other insane woke socialists are bashing her saying she’s a racist, capitalist pig.
Socialism is wonderful until you run out of someone else’s money (Margaret Thatcher). Funny I don’t see Bernie Sanders stepping up with a suitcase of money to bail out the socialist bar. Or maybe AOC could donate 7 or 10 shifts a week taking up her old job as a bar-back? I also don’t think you’ll see Jake Tapper of Bar Rescue there any time soon either.
It’s incredible how these socialists have this mental disorder. I believe it’s called Suicidal Empathy. America is 40 trillion dollars in debt because of these liberal economic policies. No one should have to work or produce anything. We’ll just print money and spread it around, because we are the virtuous ones. Capitalists are such pigs. God help us if these communists get into power.
Here’s a great old fable I posted in the past. It describes America and what will happen if this push towards socialism is successful.
America;
There once was a man who owned a wonderful goose.
Every morning, the goose laid for him a big, beautiful
egg — an egg made of pure, shiny, solid gold. Every
morning, the man collected golden eggs. And little by
little, egg by egg, he began to grow rich. But the man wanted
more. “My goose has all those golden eggs insider her,” he kept
thinking. “Why not get them all at once?” One day he couldn’t
wait any longer. He grabbed the goose and killed her. But there
were no eggs inside her! “Why did I do that?” the man cried!
“Now there will be no more golden eggs.”
If we go down this path of socialism Americas ability to help anyone will be destroyed forever.
I just saw something that said 43% of the country views socialism favorably. People want free healthcare but with that comes government calling the shots. Mandates. Less than competent doctors. Hospitalists. It makes me wonder if 43% of the country views all that favorably, too. It might be a mistake to think they jsut don't get it. Life can be lonely.
If people knew the truth about health...Medicare would not exist. It's only the biggest drug dealership in the country...and no drug is a good drug.. Legal or illegal...they damage the body and the brain.
I don't want government calling the shots, but is having your insurance company do that any better? High premiums just to have any insurance, and then they screw you with high co-pays on top of that! Sadly, I don't think there's any way the current system is going to change... It's too lucrative for the people in charge.
What we have now is a marriage between monopoly government and monopoly private/ corpratocracy. But shifting it all to government will eliminate property rights and with that, even the slimmest chance at self determination. I haven't a clue how to get to a competitive marketplace from here that protects the little guy's interests. Looking at the AI giants, I fear it will get much worse. As far as health insurance goes, it's been a boondoggle for decades. We are on our own, which wouldn't be so bad if we were left alone. Instead, we are seen as a resource to be mined.
You can thank Chief Justice John Roberts who rewrote the Affordable Care Act. You can also thank Senator John McCain, who had a chance to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He chose to screw the American people, just to spite POTUS.
There are some doctors making changes. My OBY/GN went to a different service by opening up to primary, functional medicine and dropped insurance. Gives patients a more accessable, on call type of doctoring. For people with many medical needs, it might be worth the cost. I had to leave them being on Medicare and not really having a serious medical need, but it is an option. Called "Pay for Service".
Without doubt anti is a favorite word for progressives when stuck on to one of their peculiar causes. Does not apply to them of course because they are pro everything, particularly perversion of any stripe with emphasis on pedophilia and surgical modification of children, soros bribed judges and DAs letting criminals run free, USA welfare free for all comers and anything that shackles the Constitution. Another popular word with them is phobe tagged on to one of their fave perversions. Maybe we who are opposed to their philosophy should simply call ourselves phobes to make it easier for the poor things.
Anti is the favorite prefix of the left and phobe, the favorite suffix. So, they are against everything that does not suit their agenda and attach "fear of" to transmit their fearless to others to spread their contagion.
Essentially, we are observing the tool of newspeak, detailed in 1984, used as a weapon. Who uses such tools? Who is controlling the controllers?
Simple answer, to me at least. The devil's tools are deceive, distract and destroy. He knows not how to build anything and so it is with his minions.
Modern liberalism seems to me to be statism - use the overwhelming power of the state to fix all of life's problems. If you ask them they think they are supporting freedom.
It’s been over six years since I woke up, and I’m still reeling…my republican cousin says things to me like, “I never understood how you could call yourself a democrat. You seemed so intelligent.” It really is a skewed mentality.
love all those stories. Michael Savage is really great. I have that book and watch him when I see him. I know.. the old Fairy tales for children told the great truths of life. Aesop.. I read them to my children, my mom read them to me.. what happened?
Brilliant insights as always James. If you have the interest and time, I highly recommend Dr. E Lutzer's new book, 'Moody vs Marx'. They were contemporaries and both new exactly how to effectuate culture for an end result, and how they used their lives most successfully working toward radically opposing ideologies. Fascinating accounts by two historians. Also a documentary on utube.
LOL!! "I also don’t think you’ll see Jake Tapper of Bar Rescue there any time soon either." :>) Though I'm not a big fan of TV, I would watch that episode in a heartbeat.
Good ones, Malone’s. Too bad about CNN, MSNOW and Politico. NOT. I thought they weren’t going to report on Trump anyway. So why take up space. Good riddance.
I’d sure like to see Jill riding her horse in the ante bellum dress.
This is clear evidence that Trump is a terrible strategist. He doesn't plan anything. If he had just created an objective standard he would have been able to pull it off. For example, examine how many times the "news" organization has used the term "far right" and "far left" in the last five years. This is something that can be measured. These are not meaningful terms, they're epithets. In other words, they are hate speech. So, the White House issues a directive to combat hate speech. If the organization's use of the two forms of this particular forms of hate speech are within spitting distance of the same, then it can be accepted that they are an objective news organization, and they keep their press pass. Otherwise, they are purveyors of hate, and are banned.
Now watch them screech about freedom of speech. If some judge tells you you can't do that, call him a protector of hate and tell him to stuff it.
I found this meme a few years back–not sure where, but it is not original with me.

SOMETHING BODY LANGUAGE, OR THE WAY SHE SAID IT-MADE ME WANT TO ASK IF SHE HAD ANY OTHER FIREARMS. SHE DID ADMIT TO ALSO HAVING A 9MM GLOCK IN HER CENTER CONSOLE.
NOW I HAD TO ASK ONE MORE TIME IF THAT WAS ALL. SHE RESPONDED ONCE AGAIN THAT SHE DID HAVE JUST ONE MORE, A .38 SPECIAL IN HER PURSE.
I THEN ASKED HER WHAT SHE WAS SO AFRAID OF.
SHE LOOKED ME RIGHT IN THE EYE AND SAID, "NOT A DAMN THING!"
SENIORS - DON'T MESS WITH THEM. THEY DIDN'T GET OLD BY BEING STUPID
Love this week! Dr. Jill, I get you! I wear dresses everyday as a stay at home mom who just does chores all day. Also, the cartoon about technology being easier... my teen kids are even sick of it. My 14 yr old son was going to a highschool football game and I told him he had to buy his ticket. After having to go online and not following the directions to download the App he lost the ticket somewhere in cyberspace so he had to do it again. After he was done downloading the app to see if he had his second ticket he looked at me and said, "This is so stupid!" I just said "Welcome to my world son."
I agree with your Son: “AI is stupid”! Download this app to get this or that…yada! If I want to see my health care records I have to set up an account to read them, or chat with the NP! I have more passwords than I can count on one hand! I always end up calling my Daughter for HELP!!!
Yeah, the easy get things done on your phone thing. This week I had to do my annual 'Wellness Check' for medicare at my GP's office. I mentioned that I can no longer get into my 'portal'. I jump through the hoops - name, birth date, username, password, code sent to my phone - then I get a message that says - 'oops this page does not exist'. They sent me to the front desk for help. The young woman suggested i download the app on my iphone. Apple wanted my password. I had just redone my password the previous day for another task. Nope - did not recognize me. I told the girl it didn't matter anyway because I am half blind and can't read tiny pale type on my phone. She clearly was frustrated with me - the oldie. 🙄
I've been going through password hell recently too! One site in particular, every time I visit the site it doesn't recognize the password I just re-set the last time I was there!
Here's a funny - I cancelled my fakebook account in December of 2019. When I was deleting my pics and vids I was warned there would be no getting them back. In the last couple of years I get notices on my phone of people commenting on old posts. Really? I am cutting the cord. When a corporation wants me to access a portal so I can see my test results I don't and then wait. I sure miss simple. Which is the theme of my last substack - https://meemanator.substack.com/p/things-i-miss
This seems to be a thing nowadays. Trying to stay ahead of the scammers and hackers is also making it too complex to even have an online account. I have a portal for my Osteo, GP and my hematologist and I can't get in to any of them now. I also can't seem to get into my apple app store.
Of course there are a gazillion memes out now about trying to log in with a password.
I Joined privacy academy to learn how to get private from the hackers and scammers and surveilers but like anything else these days it is complex and time-consuming to learn how to get private and watch the videos and figure out how to use the computer plus always new products to buy and help hide yourself on the computer. I am buying a bunch of books and getting ready to live a much simpler life without all this technology! Guess I’ll have to do without the doctors and the supplements and go back to the old way of life.
Bitwarden! Saves all your passwords for every site. Of course, that doesn't mean you'll never have to reset your password, but it sure saves a lot of hassle.
I have a file for my passwords and I update every time I have to change one. The problem is when the app or portal or site doesn't recognize the password. 😡
I can only conclude that "they" actually don't want us to engage. More "sit down and shut up." They could easily code all those steps into one easy click...but they don't.
Yup, I’m also an “Oldie”, & I also can’t figure out some of the new technology lingo. Make sure to download this, then do that, don’t forget your password. Oh, did you forget your password? …….on & on & on! YIKES! I’m already tired of “new technology”, & now we have AI? WHAT?
All of these dinosaur networks are on the verge of going extinct. If it wasn’t for Biden and big Pharma they would be long gone. This is their motive for bashing Trump and getting him out of power. It’s all about their own survival, like so many others on the take. Without their daily bashing and lying about Trump their ratings would be even closer to zero if that’s possible. Trump is 99% of their broadcast content.
The only reason they haven't gone extinct is because the left knows they have to pay for them even while they are essentially bankrupt because it is the only way to keep pumping out their hate and fear on those still stupid enough to watch their shows.
The key is to run inside and grab your phone (having bookmarked the video), run back outside, watch the video on slo-mo, and figure out of any of them are helpful. Then use a square knot anyway.
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice practice practice. Knots are hard to remember. Learn one one evening, practice it several times and the next day it will be vague.
Just beware of bunji straps, my husband had one fail, snap back in his face and split his top lip. Emergency trip and a bunch of stitches. Lucky it missed his eyes.
I've been visiting YouTube recently and watching old TV clips like Johnny Carson, Robin Williams, old TV comedies. Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Vicki Lawrence are long-time favorites. And this skit with Dean Martin and Foster Brooks is in a class all by itself.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XC3Hc-rAkk
Our local school district switched to electronic cell phone tickets several years ago. What a PITA! I understand that they want to have more protection over the cash box, but man it's annoying and a lot more complicated. I think Ohio passed a law a few years ago that disallowed schools from going 100% electronic tickets at school events. I wish we could do that in Texas. I'd really to just walk up to the gate and hand them cash and get a ticket to take to the gate.
OMG that old tractor, the field, that was my uncles farm! I learned to drive that tractor when I was 6. Thanks Robert that brings back a lot of memories.
Always fun. Trump revealing what he had for breakfast and the reporters take away perfectly "splains" his banning of some. Any associated court decision is now irrelevant because the point is made. Those banned all hold Doctorate degrees in distorting truth.
I have that same little Walther and I love it! So easy to fire and, well, it’s pretty! Yes, a pretty gun. Why can’t I be fashionable when I’m either at target practice or shooting bad guys? Loved the memes…good laugh over morning coffee.
What you said is true, involving (in)significant digits, but a .380 cartridge is not the same as a .38 cartridge. .380 is typically for a semi-auto, and .38 is typically for a revolver. The bullet appears to be the same diameter, but the casing is much bulkier on the .38.
I'm told the .380 is a 9mm short, but I am one of the 0.00001% among the country's gun owners who has never owned or even fired a nine, so I have never compared the two. I should get one, I suppose, since everyone else seems to have one.
Freaky Friday Funnies! Ha ha ha! Loved the Clinton one! Bet he wishes that every day! Jill on a horse in a long dress with her gun in her lap! Now that’s a sight I’d love to see! Thanks for the laughs, guys! Let’s all have a great weekend!

I was thinking that also. What happens when President aoc takes over. Honestly she’ll throw out whoever she wants anyways.
Ugh. President Ay-o-see. What a horror that conjures up! Perish the thought!
Tell me what you think of this regarding the new, News director at CBS and the new, News owner: Can we hope its not all just smoke and mirrors?

I took a sailing class once. We learned to tie knots. I watched very carefully and still couldn't recall how to tie them!
The key is to run inside and grab your phone (having bookmarked the video), run back outside, watch the video on slo-mo, and figure out of any of them are helpful. Then use a square knot anyway.
Hilarious, Joy!
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice practice practice. Knots are hard to remember. Learn one one evening, practice it several times and the next day it will be vague.
Granny knots work for me.
I like ratchet straps, no knots to tie 😂
Just beware of bunji straps, my husband had one fail, snap back in his face and split his top lip. Emergency trip and a bunch of stitches. Lucky it missed his eyes.
I need a break from political cartoons. I need some good clean laughs! Bring back Johnny Carson!
Too many negative life forces at work. I do not want to go on Zoloft!
Go outside and take a walk in the sunshine. Works better than Zoloft!
Johnny Carson was a treasure. And clean, too.
And, apolitical

I miss him so much!
I've been visiting YouTube recently and watching old TV clips like Johnny Carson, Robin Williams, old TV comedies. Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, and Vicki Lawrence are long-time favorites. And this skit with Dean Martin and Foster Brooks is in a class all by itself.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XC3Hc-rAkk
Even old SNLs! They USED to be so cutting edge, meaning, they were actually funny!
How I miss Johnny Carson. Please bring back the good old days!
Our local school district switched to electronic cell phone tickets several years ago. What a PITA! I understand that they want to have more protection over the cash box, but man it's annoying and a lot more complicated. I think Ohio passed a law a few years ago that disallowed schools from going 100% electronic tickets at school events. I wish we could do that in Texas. I'd really to just walk up to the gate and hand them cash and get a ticket to take to the gate.
OMG that old tractor, the field, that was my uncles farm! I learned to drive that tractor when I was 6. Thanks Robert that brings back a lot of memories.
My fav is the 10 page handwritten report sans AI. Cursive, no less! It is a secret message medium now.
If all cursive becomes unreadable, how better to get the upcoming generation to believe anything government tells them about our founding documents?
Always fun. Trump revealing what he had for breakfast and the reporters take away perfectly "splains" his banning of some. Any associated court decision is now irrelevant because the point is made. Those banned all hold Doctorate degrees in distorting truth.
I have that same little Walther and I love it! So easy to fire and, well, it’s pretty! Yes, a pretty gun. Why can’t I be fashionable when I’m either at target practice or shooting bad guys? Loved the memes…good laugh over morning coffee.
Mine is the .380. Looks like mine is the stepchild of the .38!
Is it a .38 or a .380?
I do not know much about guns but I learned in school that .1 is the same as .10 and .1000. Am I wrong?!
What you said is true, involving (in)significant digits, but a .380 cartridge is not the same as a .38 cartridge. .380 is typically for a semi-auto, and .38 is typically for a revolver. The bullet appears to be the same diameter, but the casing is much bulkier on the .38.
I'm told the .380 is a 9mm short, but I am one of the 0.00001% among the country's gun owners who has never owned or even fired a nine, so I have never compared the two. I should get one, I suppose, since everyone else seems to have one.
Thank you, Ron, for your reply!
I choose to walk with 77+ million legal Trump voters.
Freaky Friday Funnies! Ha ha ha! Loved the Clinton one! Bet he wishes that every day! Jill on a horse in a long dress with her gun in her lap! Now that’s a sight I’d love to see! Thanks for the laughs, guys! Let’s all have a great weekend!
My first thought was her riding one of those beautiful horses in that dress. Is that who women had to ride side saddle ?
No, they were forbidden to show any part of a leg…too provocative to men, they thought.
Burka anyone?
I though it was because they had to wear chastity belts!
