Friends, in a sign that the leftist elite really has lost its collective mind, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recently appeared in a broadway show, "& Juliet", an LGBTQ+++++++++ extravaganza! Wow. Since there's no danger that KBJ will make a great impression as a jurist, perhaps this is, on balance, the best use of her time? To me, it's a reminder about how out of touch with reality these people are, and how obsessed the progressive leadership class is with gay and transgender ideology, for whatever reason. With role models like these, I feel confident that lefties will be losing elections for years and indeed decades to come... So, in other words, don't let this stunning performance be your last, KBJ!!! America wants more, more, more!

In other news, Meta/Facebook has doubled down on its endorsement of free speech rights, and Mark Zuckerberg is putting his own credibility on the line. I'm impressed! The move from CA to TX is particularly telling. Google, are you listening? It's time to get on the bandwagon!

McDonald's is tweaking its DEI policies in ways that should enhance REAL equality rather than phony neo-Marxist "equity". Good for them! Corporate America may not be instinctively noble, but it knows a threat to the bottom line when it sees it, and wokeness has become such a threat.
Finally, Don Jr. is paying Greenland a visit, as Trump once again invites Canada to join the United States! Who would have guessed that territorial expansion would be one of the major themes of the Biden-Trump interregnum? Golly! Trump hasn't ruled out the use of force to achieve some of these ambitious goals, but it's still hard to imagine that he would be willing to go to war to annex...Greenland? Manitoba? Maybe he's hoping that, if he overloads the TDS hate machine before he even takes office, it will choke on its own bile and sputter to a halt... Brilliant!

Dr. Waddy from Jack: You said it all about "Justice" Jackson. Her disdainful exhibitionism speaks for itself. What's next? Slick Willy does Mayberry?
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: A street wise hombre like DJT knows how to jerk his opponents' chains so as to move them to vindictive overreach. It is of course doubly effective when dealing with frantic, emotionally dominated far leftists.
ReplyDeleteBut for the luvva, no more talk of Canada joining the US. I'll bet they don't want to and I don't blame them. They don't need our hurly burly. We get along fine with Canada; live and let live is best I think.
And harmless Denmark? I can see benefit in our acquiring Greenland but only if Denmark is pleased to sell it to us. If China puts a base there we cross that bridge when we come to it. We have the power to make such an outpost awfully lonely.
Trump is not going to get Greenland, but it does function as a strategy so as not to pay attention to confirmation hearings, or faulty proposed policies.

Hey Rod
ReplyDeleteYour blind hatred of Trump prevents you from facing the "reality of possibilities". If Greenland is acquired, the U.S. will buy it from Denmark, just like they did in 1917 when they purchased The Virgin Islands from that country, only for considerably more. We already have a long time military base there (Greenland) anyway.
Trump must be joking about Canada. Can't see those people ever letting the U.S. take them over. However, if they (the Canadians) became agreeable to it, we could take their Western part, including all of The Great lakes, and let them keep Eastern Canada, and throw in our New England for annexation by them, as a gesture of goodwill.
As for Panama, the U.S. built it, and should control it once again. It is a strategic chokepoint, and is necessary for our security.
In any event, you hate Trump so much, none of the above will make much sense to you anyway. I know your type of Leftist. I grew up out on the West Coast (our Left Coast) and have seen how it was hijacked by a bunch of people with "shit for brains" beginning with the beatniks. Why, the most important thing in Portland, Oregon (no matter what disasters happen) is the Annual Naked Bicycle Parade.
As far as confirmation hearings go, the American people are not stupid (although Leftists like you always think the great mass are always stupid), and they hope all Trump's appointments will be confirmed, so they can clean up the huge mess, those of your ilk have created.
Next time you post, do some research, so you don't make yourself seem to be the obvious arrogant person you are! In any event, Trump has won, so it looks like you will have to deal with it for a while.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: So incipient far left totalitarians who dread any form of free speech still arrogate to themselves the "true" meaning of hate, as in so called by them "hate speech". Poor dears, they either haven't caught on to the profound irony of their accusation of anyone of well. . . HATE! They are champions of hate, heroes of hate and they demonstrated it in their inhuman assault on DJT's very person and on his family and those who support him during his years of official exile. I suppose they can speak with a kind of perverse authority about that unsurpassable superlative of antipathy; they are its personification.
ReplyDeleteBailing out from Kalifornia , especially to down to earth Texas is a smart business move now. No telling what smoky totalitarian dream CA might dream up next and impose with haughty dictation upon the unwashed of that increasingly isolated commune.
Funny isn't it, how more often than not, business in ,yes, pursuing its own self interest, nonetheless benefits America.That's because it wants Americans to freely want its products, duhhh! Alot better than any hellish "5 year plan" as would be the certain tactic of antiamerica were it to achieve the tyrannical power to impose it.
Rod from Jack: You may well be right but DJT has chosen to get down and dirty with the always amorally expeditious far left in our country. What works, works! Antiamerica cannot deal with such realism from an American: it is so used to toying with apologists for our country: "now I'm not a 'racist' or an aristocrat but I am concerned about murderous criminality". Enough with the cringing and rationalizing; let all be judged by the content of their character and deeds alone. The radicalized left in our country cannot countenance such "heresy": it must therefore be prevented from blocking it; that is only common sense, which is the antidote for
ReplyDeletethe mindless, dreamy imposition of marxists on civilization, then, now and forever.
Rod says all the annexationist talk is mere misdirection. I'm inclined to agree with Ray that each case must be considered on its own merits. Canada would be highly unlikely to agree to any type of union except maybe an economic one, which would still be a very good idea. Maybe Canada would agree to let each province decide for itself if it would like to join the U.S.? That could get interesting in a few cases. Greenland would be easy pickings, but the bottom line is that we will probably only acquire it by taking it forcibly, and that would be a major affront to the international order. The Panama Canal, as Ray points out, used to belong to us, and is a strategic waterway in which we have fundamental interests. I could see a reassertion of U.S. sovereignty there as a realistic possibility.
ReplyDeleteRay is also right that the American people are not clutching at their chests because of Trump's cabinet picks, and in fact they seem broadly favorable to his management of the transition, DESPITE the nearness of mortal combat with Denmark. So far, I'd say Trump's handling of public opinion seems to be pretty sound.
Jack, of all the changes that Zuck has made at FB in the last few weeks, the move of important policymakers from CA to TX may be the most significant. Any organization headquartered and domiciled in the People's Republic of California is effectively held hostage by Marxists. Repositioning Meta gives the company managerial/ideological breathing room and could subject it to much healthier cultural influences. I approve!
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Assuming that modern naval technology yet supports the essential nature of our access to the Panama Canal: then, if it appears China is working to establish control of it we would be wise to take back control of it. Like so many countries have assumed - that we are degenerately subsumed by sloth, voluptuaryness and moral relativity - China may well act on such yet historically questionable assumptions. Many of its now movers may well have attended university in the seemingly frivolous US and been thereby convinced, like others of imperial intent, in the past, that we were ripe for defeat .
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: There is a historical precedent for our taking what control of the canal might become strategically necessary. Early in WWII the US and Britain occupied Iceland in order to deny it to the Boche. The Icelanders didn't like it but I think they knew it was better than German rule.
ReplyDeleteI don't favor our throwing our weight around gratuitously but we are a great power and Panama would be far better off with some necessary US control than it would be with Chinese dictate (ask Tibetans about that).
Dr. Waddy from Jack: I would think a move of a bureaucracy from lala land to down to earth Texas would tend to strip away those whose so sensitive psyches cannot endure any heretical contradiction of their unassailably just far left views. Probably best for all involved.
ReplyDeleteDr. Waddy from Jack: I think Canada's common western provinces, with the possible exception of BC, might well wish to be free of the liberal east. We have a down to earth administration coming in and I'll bet the resource rich Canadian hinterland will benefit greatly from an "energetic" return to sanity in the US on North American energy independence. But how long, those provinces must ask, will the US remain guided by good sense? The dems could make a comeback and if Kathy Hochul's confiscatory and absurd effort to punish fossil fuel companies for past emissions deemed anathema by the elite were to become part of their totalitarian "Green New Deal" who knows how far back in the dark, heretical pasts of the then new American states the the environmental juveniles would go to "correct"them?
ReplyDeleteCommon sense western provinces . . . .Jack
ReplyDeleteMuch as I sympathize with Trump's desire to control the Panama Canal, Jack, I suspect the argument that China currently "owns" it or runs it is absurd. China plays a role in the running of the canal and its maintenance, I'm sure, but what pie does China not have all ten fingers in these days???
ReplyDeleteYes, Western Canadians are, by and large, a sensible bunch, but there's, alas, still no evidence that even they want to be annexed by the USA. As the saying goes, maybe it's better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission? I suspect the only way we're ever taking control of Canada is by emphasizing the TAKING part. Is that who we are, or who we want to be?
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Any consideration of the idea of "taking" Canada is most certainly not what we want to be. Entirely besides the moral opprobrium of it, Canada would most likely defend itself fiercely, like Finland and Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteEh. I doubt that. Canadians are compliant and agreeable by nature. They're also realistic enough to know that they aren't winning any wars against the United States.
