Reflections From a Murky Pond

CNN’s Consistent Bias

Recently, President Donald Trump delivered a speech to the leaders of more than 50 countries of the Muslim World to outline his vision for US-Muslim relations. President Trump’s 36-minute long address at the Gulf Cooperation Council Summit was the centerpiece of a two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, his first overseas mission as president.

So of course, CNN, the world’s #1 purveyor of fake news, report of this even was, “On Islam, Trump is consistently inconsistent,” totally disregarding the simple fact that there was little to nothing in President Trump’s address to the Muslim political leaders that varied even in tone from many statements made by Obama over the course of the previous eight years – statements that CNN lauded as being “considered,” “nuanced,” and as showing an understanding of the complexities of dealing with terrorist groups who operate under the banner of Islam.

Got to give CNN some small measure of credit though. They are consistent – consistent in the anti-Trump and anti-American bias.

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 last taste of these pleasures as the bikini season ends for the year.

In point of fact, the weather seems a bit too unpredictable to even make it to the beach. Hence, the sole point of this post is to remind everyone that bikinis are still beautiful when you keep them close to home.

It Was The Russians

I recently wrote about how America’s domestic enemies’ quest to find some evidence of Russia and President Trump was the equivalent of searching for any or all of more famous cryptids. That, while accurate, might not have been perfectly on point.

Their behavior is actually closer to that of those who search for extraterrestrials on Earth. After all, they’re certainly as butt-hurt as anyone who anal probed by aliens and dumped in some field somewhere. 😉

Cryptoscience – The Liberals’ New Major

More and more the Liberals’ and Progressives’ ranting sounds like that of people searching for Nessie, Bigfoot, or the Chupacabra. Then, I suppose this makes sense since there’s almost as much evidence that Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government to block Hillary and win the 2016 elections as there is for the existence of any of the more popular cryptids in the annals of cryptobiology.

Hating Mother’s Day Is Denouncing Normalcy

Sunday was 2017’s Mother’s Day and it passed with somewhat more issues and complaints than in previous years. Apparently, to certain sorts Mother’s Day is offensive.

Some of some sort’s complaints about celebrating Mother’s Day:

• It’s inherently “gendered”
• It’s glorifies motherhood and elevates mothers
• It’s homophobic
• It’s misogynous

The one thing that all of these complaints have in common is that they are all based upon denouncing normalcy as wrong, bigoted, and evil because, and solely because, the abnormal aren’t part of it. That’s the our domestic enemies think and/or emote; to them, anything that isn’t explicitly inclusive of abnormal, non-normative, or minority groups, individuals, and/or behaviors is bigoted, hateful, and wrong.
