Propaganda

In my earlier post on the Israel/Hamas conflict, I pointed out that war has no rules, and wars should be fought without reservation. The only thing that matters is the survival of your people. This is why wars should never be entered into lightly. That’s why the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel should be none of our concern- on either side. There are no direct US interests there.

With that being said- CNN is purely acting as mouthpieces for Hamas when they put out a story about how people taken hostage should be grateful that Hamas took them hostage because they were provided food and medical care. Uh, what?

1987

When the world gets to be a bit overwhelming, I like to sit and think about when things were different. Times weren’t necessarily easier then. This day, I’m thinking about this time of the year, but in 1987. It’s been 36 years and so much has changed since then.

Reagan was still President, I was in the military and also broke. I had an infant son. Still, I was young and the world was filled with the promise of things that could yet still be. Let’s listen to what was on my radio then and remember a time when things were different.

There’s Your Problem

Sick and tired of being sick and tired, I finally caved in and went to the doctor. It turns out that the reason I am feeling so poorly is that I have a moderate case of bilateral pneumonia. No wonder I have felt like I am breathing through a straw.

I’m now on some antibiotics.

Biden Hates America

Remember when your mom would tell you to stop touching your brother, so you would be like “I’m not touching you” to annoy the shit out of him? Yeah, this is like that.

A Federal Judge, in response to a Texas lawsuit against Federal agents cutting the border fence said that the Biden administration must stop “disassembling, degrading, or tampering” with the fence at the southern border. So this is what they are doing instead:

We didn’t cut the fence. We just lifted it up a little. Biden hates the USA.

Meanwhile, the new “conservative” speaker proves that the Republican party is useless, as he makes one of his first accomplishments- giving himself and the rest of Congress a $34,000 a year raise.

History Dying Off

Ken Mattingly was supposed to be the command module pilot for the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, but he was exposed to the German measles and the replaced him at the last minute with Jack Swigert, bumping Mattingly to Apollo 16. He never came down with the measles, even though Swigert got quite ill during the mission. Mattingly was also one of two people who went to the moon and also flew on a space shuttle mission. (Fellow Apollo 16 crew member John Young was the other)

On Halloween, Ken Mattingly passed away at the age of 87.

Just to be Clear

Segments of the US government were working with the Chinese government to release a plague that they jointly researched so the rules for elections could be changed to put a Chinese agent in the Whitehouse.

Thus bringing about the end of the United States and catapulting China into the #1 spot. Does that about cover the last three years?
