Baby Yoda -- Why Hast Thou Forsaken Us?

 


Friends, this universe of ours is becoming less and less friendly to conservatives, patriots, Trumpers, and plain old people of common sense every day.  What's worse, though, is that the Star Wars universe isn't any better!  Disney has fired Gina Carano, a star who appears in the popular series The Mandalorian, for suggesting that those who try to blacklist and silence conservatives are repeating the mistakes of Nazi Germany.  Gasp, right?  Surely, no one on the Left would ever take the name of the Nazis in vain...  Lucasfilm had the gall to suggest that Carano's remarks were anti-Semitic, when it's clear that Carano simply indulged in a rhetorical comparison that is incessantly repeated among progressives.  The truth, of course, is that Carano doesn't fit the Hollywood mold, and so Disney has been itching to fire her for a long time.  Another one bites the dust, eh?  Add Disney to the long list of companies that hate America, conservatives, and free speech.

I couldn't agree more with this article.  The idea that what occurred at the Capitol on January 6th was an "insurrection" is absurd.  Did a single "insurrectionist" fire a single bullet in attempting (supposedly) to overthrow the U.S. government?  Was a single Congressman or woman, or a single staffer, injured or killed?  Yes, there was a riot at the Capitol.  We have lots of riots in America, sadly, and 99% of them are caused by the Left.  Let's get a grip, shall we?

Critical race theory will, over the next four years, be rammed down our throats so often, and so rudely, that many of us will need reconstructive throat surgery by the time President DeSantis takes the Oath of Office.  Sad, but true.  This article makes the excellent point that America just isn't a racist hellhole.  Yes, many benefit from claiming that it is, but the evidence is mighty thin, and it's getting thinner all the time.

Is America circling the drain, fiscally speaking?  You better believe it.  Even before the Dems commit us to an extra $2 trillion in spending, we're already looking at a $2.3 trillion deficit this year.  Yikes!  It's all fun and games with interest rates close to zero, but someday they'll go up, and the budgetary pain will escalate.  Bottom line: our deficits are in WWII territory.  The coronavirus stinks, but does it justify WWII-level spending?  Heck, no!  If this is our reaction to every crisis that comes down the pike, we'll be bankrupt in no time.

Lastly, rumors are circulating that the Never Trumpers are thinking about splitting away from the GOP and starting their own party.  Interesting.  Of course, if they were going to do it, it would have made a lot more sense back when Trump was on the ballot.  Be that as it may, I think it might actually help Trump and the Republican Party if they pulled the trigger.  These elitists don't carry much political weight, in my view, but to the extent they they would pull votes from anyone, my guess is it would be mainly from Biden (or Harris).  In essence, I believe there's a Trump vote in America, and an anti-Trump vote.  Thus, the more you split the anti-Trump vote, the better chance Trump has of victory.  Now, assuming our next nominee isn't Trump, the logic doesn't necessarily hold...but even in that situation I suspect a divided field would be beneficial to the right.  So...Romneyites and Bushites, do your worst!

  1. As of right now, I belong to no one party...so, there you have it. I believe there are plenty of us out there who feel that way. I welcome a 3rd or 4th or 5th party. Time to abolish the two party system anyways.

    Critical Race Theory was rammed down my throat the recent four years of college. No thanks, I have had enough, end of story. You do know it will only get worse, right?

    It continues to surprise me that the dems and rinos are still floating the word Insurrection, because it seems to me it is they who are doing this. Boom. (grin)

    Ok, that is enough thinking for now, off to work I go. grin

  2. Ha! Walmart is a respite from mental exertion, is it? I should spend more time at Walmart!

    I'm still a Republican. The party certainly has a vast capacity to disappoint, but I don't see a viable alternative as yet, if we're to stop the Dems from instituting a full-blown tyranny. A Trumpian party would be cool, but I don't think he'll do it for the same reason that he didn't prevail in the 2020 election. When push comes to shove, Trump is intimidated by the establishment, rather than the other way around.

    1. Ha on Walmart...I have to be 'quick thinking on my feet' every single day. No joke--more mentally tired than physical. All that critical thinking at both colleges have come in handy, LOL. I use to make fun of folks who worked retail, no longer do I feel that way. Management/Team Lead is no joke either. Apparently I have impressed someone somewhere during my 4 months there; fulltime with benefits. Not many people get there.

      I am still a registered Conservative. Yes, the Republican party has become a disappointment. I think Trump is indeed intimidated by the establishment, but I also think it goes both ways. The outcome of the Impeachment circus/dog/pony show shall be watched closely. My understanding from reading the news, is that those 10 Republicans who voted impeachment-the Constituency is not very happy. So, we shall see. I think folks have had enough, period.

  3. Dr. From Jack: Has any member of Congress had their home besieged and their family threatened? Just happened to Senator Hawley!

  4. Linda, I know what you mean. Teaching isn't physically demanding either, but at the end of the day I feel mighty drained. Assuming you work with the public, I can only imagine some of the, uh, curves they throw your way. For what it's worth, I like Walmart, and knowing they hired you only improves my opinion of the outfit. :)

    The Republican Party is a mixed bag. It could hardly be otherwise. I think two things will happen in 2022: many of the RINOs will lose in primaries, and Republicans will take back the House and the Senate. That might make you feel a little better about the GOP, huh?

    True, Jack -- leftists have proven to be a much more formidable threat to the well-being and safety of Congressmen than Trumpers. But you're thinking rationally. Stop that!
