Reflections From a Murky Pond

Bikini Interlude – 1st Of The 2023 Season

As is the case with almost all the Bikini Interlude posts, there’s really no real purpose to this post beyond providing myself and any who come here a brief interlude of beauty and a first taste of these pleasures as the bikini season starts for the year.

As you might be aware, a large-ish cabal of Radical Trannies was planning on marching on DC tomorrow. They named their day of “Peaceful Protest” Trans Day Of Vengeance.

We are calling for Trans Day of Vengeance. Vengeance means fighting back with vehemence. It is our battle cry to declare to the world that we the transgender/non-binary communities will neither be silenced nor eradicated. And we are calling to our allies, members of other marginalized communities to make themselves known and to fight with us.

But, as it turns out, there will be no vengeance for terrorists in this case. This organization, which is an avowed agitator and radicalizer of trannies and their enablers has canceled their Day Of Vengeance. Not, mind you, because a march of this sort with this sort of name and focus in the wake of one of theirs committing an atrocious hate crime and act of terrorism would be horrific, evil, and a garish affront to common decency. Yeah, one of theirs “doubling down” on coming for our kids didn’t really bother them all that much.

No, they originally made it clear that their Day of Vengeance would happen as planned. They’ve only canceled their march on the Capitol because of “credible threats” to their own safety.

This action will not be taking place Saturday due to a credible threat to life and safety. The safety of our trans community is first priority. This threat is the direct result of the flood of raw hatred directed toward the trans community after the Tennessee shooting. Individuals who had nothing to with that heinous act have been subjected to highly serious threats and blamed only because of their gender identity. This is one of the steps in genocide, and we will continue our efforts to protect trans lives. While we wholeheartedly believe in the mission and message we put forth for trans day of vengeance, we must prioritize the safety of our community and the people that make it up. In an ideal world we would have continued on in defiance of the attempt to silence our right to free expression. However, we lack the resources to ensure the safety of the protest and cannot in good conscience move forward with it. In our continued efforts to preserve trans and non binary life we have notified the appropriate agencies.

One, it’s highly doubtful there were any actual credible threats. But then, by their very nature – mentally diseased and then radicalized – it’s highly doubtful that they could respond in a manner that resembled how a “reasonable person” would. And, truly, how could one expect them to?

Remember, for the first time in American history the media coverage and focus of the aftermath of heinous, murderous rampage specifically targeting young children focused upon how those who are like the terrorist are scared of the repercussions of that hate crime.

Well, except for a highly-placed Democrat media-adjacent operative – The AZ “Governor’s” Press Secretary, who crowed about it, as did a disturbingly large number of Trannies, Queers, and their enablers on Social Media, especially the now “infamous” TikTok.

So, they’re the oppressed victims – and, by extension Hale’s act of terrorism must be rationalized, if not outright excused – and, hence, they’ve canceled their Day of Vengeance. And I’m fairly sure that their safety had less to do with the cancellation than the simple fact the portraying themselves as threatened victims serves them better now, after Hale’s murder spree, than making more angry noises and passive-aggressive threats.

The man in this video is pretty much correct in all his points. He’s speaking simple truths – what the freaks and their enablers call “hate speech.” You freaks started it.

Statistically speaking, nobody cared until you came for our children and started making authoritarian demands of us, essentially saying we, the normative majority, cannot live in peace but must instead abide by your rules of the moment, an ever-changing set of demands that seem to constantly degenerate further and further as days go by.

So yeah, you freaks started it, you and your #Woke enablers. Whatever comes your way now is all on you. You’re the problem.

With the Pedo-in-Chief and his nursemaids and handlers having heavily tanked the whole of America’s economy, and with their response being to start looking into removing cash and enacting a federally controlled Digital Currency, I present to you the future of the American “Dollar” – Buttcoin.

Your life choices matter, and the first major life choice people make largely for themselves is the choice between going to college or entering the workforce. It’s the choice than will financially decide their future more often than not. And, frankly, a lot of young people have been indoctrinated into making that choice without any real thought.

4-Year Degree vs. Skilled Trades

OK, to start with, this chart seems off to me in its details, though the premise is sound. The average debt accrued for a baccalaureate is $32,000 – $59,000, not $90,000. I also, if we’re going for numbers which are both more conservative and, IMHO, much closely matching “Blue Collar” salaries across the US, I’d set the starting salaries in the $12 – $18/hour range.

As I said though, the premise is still sound. Having earned $117,060 – $150,500 over 4 years is a lot better than having earned nothing and having accrued $32,000 – $59,000 that you will, presumably, have to repay at some point. The tradesman, after 4 years is $149,060 – $209,500 ahead of the college graduate in total earnings and on his or her to establishing a life.

And, BTW, that college graduate most likely won’t catch up anytime soon. The average salary for someone with a 4-year degree is $69,368 compared to the tradesman’s $64,770, but for an average of 20 years that graduate will be loosing on average $2,880/year in loan payments, bringing his or her effective income to $66,490, a meager $1720 more than the tradesman. That means it will take well over 50 years before the graduate “catches up” to the total earnings of the tradesman. This is literally more than the span of time – 40 – 50 years – most Americans work.

And remember, these numbers and predictions are based upon my believed-to-be-corrected and lowered numbers. If the chart is closer to being correct than I am, for either debt accrued or salaries, it’s even worse for the college graduate, who could be almost $315,000 in total earnings behind the tradesman.

Honestly, people need to make informed life choices instead of blindly following the government’s propaganda that has pushed getting a college degree as the primary and preferred, if not only, means of being successful since at least as far back as the early 1960s.
