This Is Not Your Parents U.S.A. Nor Yours As You Want To Remember It!

Satire, humor, wit, in fact, free speech GONE!

Watching and listening to the President and his hapless paid hacks (his cabinet, with special mention to his press secretary), I am really impressed with the degree of their unfounded and shameless pride. Perhaps I should not be putting Biden in that company. He is alarmingly and sadly pathetic, and entirely absent. Mostly appears battery-operated.

Astounding to watch and listen to those folks who at best appear to have COVID polluted brains. Never in history has an administration been populated by entirely situationally ethical people. And, most disturbingly, intellectually bankrupt.

The perversity of Neo-Marxism and its failed toothless cousin, socialism, is that rather than plied for the benefit of the masses “as written”, is entirely fueled by most basic narcissism. The guiding light of the dangerously uninformed and entirely bereft of even middle distance vision masses is: “What is in this for me today?”

Even in context of the new seemingly trivial units of financial measure of the times: trillions of dollars manufactured from whole cloth.

How to reverse the downward vortex of children having children. How to reverse the governmental self-interest supported institutional reliance and resulting poverty, assured by eternal financial assistance. How to drive back into society ordinary humanity and discipline. How to make personal responsibility compelling again.

Big stuff is needed!

Now, do fasten your seat-belts: compulsory military service for all kids? Just think’n…
