Reflections From a Murky Pond

Yes! Especially this year, I want Americans to really celebrate the 4th of July. Yes again! I want us all to raise a joyful and raucous noise unto the Heavens. But maybe remember that some of us don’t “respond well” to those fireworks throughout the night, and we really don’t respond well to those firearm discharges randomly interspersed with them.

Yeah, I know. It’s 2020 and our communities have broken down to the point where most of us don’t know enough about our neighbors to know whether one or more of them might be veterans with PTSD. Still, think about it.

And yes, I’ll likely be spending tonight in a separate bedroom from my wives with my two dogs, one of which has PTSD worse than mine. We’ve got our gear together – weighted blankets, her thunder shirt, and my noise-canceling headphones – and our other dog is a damn fine comfort.

Celebrate Independence Day!

This year, with the crazed hate of the Left, the Blacks’ rioting and looting, and the attacks upon the fabric of our nation’s proud history, celebrate Independence Day!

Revel in the beauty of America and her history. Show our domestic enemies that Americans will not be cowed by their actions.

Side hustles are just part of the modern economy. Sadly however, certain demographics have a different perspective – a different narrative, if you will – about what a side hustle is and entails. Those sorts tend more towards grifting, shucking, and jiving when they’re seeking people’s money.

Bake Bred, They Said

For some reason that totally escapes me, baking became The Thing during the ongoing COVID-19 lock-downs – especially baking sourdough and focaccia. The problem is that not everyone is even marginally good at baking bread.

On the other hand – and hopefully on the counter too 😉 – failure can be often be remediated by simply changing the victory conditions.

By all normative American standards, if we were to grade the worth of the Democrats – and I do mean they’re worth as persons, not just their job performance – we would have to give them all an “F.” They have repeatedly and utterly failed to prove that they have any worth at all.

Honestly, were it not for the fact that their inherent right to their lives is Constitutionally enumerated and not predicated on worthiness or on having earned it, we’d be well-served by accepting that they’re Lebensunwertes Leben and acting accordingly.

Then, that’s part of difference between Americans and Democrats. Americans know that the Constitution is, depending upon one’s theology, either Divine Law or Natural, and must be abided by and obeyed even when the immediate result has some negative consequences and trails. It’d be the rankest of hypocrisy for Americans to act against the Democrats in a manner that is fundamental to the Democrats’ lack of worth in the first place.
