Reflections From a Murky Pond

There’s a lot of times when it feels like that. I work to fish; fish to forget work; rinse, repeat. Ah well, there are far worse ways of going through life.

So far in what passes for Kamala’s campaign it’s been like that. She’s spent the majority of it dodging the press. She’s made it clear that she’s going to do whatever it takes to not give interviews or hold press conferences, with a couple of carefully curated and prerecorded ones with allied media outlets being as close to an exception as it’s likely to get. It’s so overt and extreme that even staunchly Democrat outlets are complaining about it, albeit with very soft and almost apologetic voices.

And yes, her and her staff have shown that they’re more than willing to take extreme measures to make sure that the press keeps their distance from her. She even pulled out – or was pulled out by her handlers – of giving the commencement address at the most Left-wing, Democrat college, UC Berkeley, giving the excuse that they were currently in a labor dispute with the local chapter of the AFSCME union, which had called for a speaker boycott.

Babylon Bee or not, the fact that Kamala’s only interview – and a carefully scripted and curated on at that – was held jointly with Tim Walz didn’t go over very well with some feminists and some Blacks, especially Black women. They were offended by the appearance of her needing to have a White man there to lean on if needed.

So yeah; where’s Kamala? The answer is wherever the press isn’t. And, as certain sorts in the Lamestream Media claim, that’s a good thing for her campaign. Read whatever you like into that statement.

Times have certainly changed, especially in the realm of work. But hey! At least Jason isn’t trying to do the whole remote thing and do his job from home via Zoom or Teams. 😆

Yes, it’s true. America has a new and upcoming villain – The Giggler. Thankfully, we also have Donald Trump, the President that America both needs and deserves. Even more thankfully, we have approximately 80 million Americans under arms so as to deal with The Giggler’s cackle if needs be and the Democrats will out.

With age comes maturity and wisdom – the maturity and wisdom to know that far too many people are fucking idiots and the first, best course of action to take is to sit back, have a beer, and ignore them and their antics. Honestly, the vast majority of them aren’t worth our attention, much less an actual response of any kind from us.

The real problem these days is that those idiots won’t leave us alone and have decided that wanting to just sit back with a beer is somehow evil. Hence, they get up in our faces and force us to sit up, put down our beers, and put them down like any other rabid animal.
