Reflections From a Murky Pond

We as Americans should remember that the colonists did have to register their muskets in every state except for the Quakers’ Pennsylvania. In many of the colonies every man between the ages of 16 – 60 had to prove to their State’s government that they were in But We Should Remember In possession of a suitable military long arm and its associated accoutrements under penalty of law. In others only the head of household was so required.

Yes, we should always remember that, in colonial times, we did not enjoy the freedom to keep arms. We operated under the duty and burden to do so. And, such duty and burden wasn’t for just any firearm. The citizenry of that time were legally mandated to be armed with military grade weaponry.

Then, some of us know this.

Mexican Taco Harvest

What with the ongoing faux saga in Texas, I’m sure that there are Democrats wringing their hands right now and gnashing their teeth, bemoaning how Gov. Abbott is destroying the taco harvest. And yeah, I’m only sort of kidding. A large number of Democrats, especially those in California, likely do think that tacos are harvested from orchards. 🙄

No matter which AI-driven near future dystopia floats your boat, remember that it will really be started by Man’s hubris and willful ignorance. If and when it happens, we shall have birthed our own demise through just being us.

Perhaps, however, this is a foregone conclusion. Certainly, any of the Abrahamics should consider that possibility and take such actions as seem proper to postpone and/or mitigate the likely outcome. It seems to me, if one accepts Yahweh as the Creator, to be far more probable that “made in His image” meant our selves, not our flesh, was made so, including the desire to Create. And, of course, we forget that we are flawed and our creations made in our image will be even more so.

It is and I think shall be a worthy test of the pithy truism, “Knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster.”

It should really come as no surprise to anyone in America when a Woke Appointee displays fundamental incompetence for the position they’ve been put forth for. When not be a Straight White Man is the primary criteria for their appointment, once has to expect that they’re lacking in actual merit. Still though, sometimes the Woke Appointee Fail is more egregious than other. Biden and Co.’s Black appointee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado is one of those more flagrant token appointees.

It’s pretty bad when an already sitting judge can’t answer the very basic question of what a Brady motion is when queried by the Senate.

Judge Kato Crews — who was nominated by President Joe Biden for the U.S. District Court of Colorado — failed to answer a question on the Brady motion, a basic legal concept.  

When pressed on the issue by Kennedy, Crews said that the term was “not coming to mind.” But that didn’t stop the judge from giving his best guess. 

“I believe that the Brady case involved something regarding the Second Amendment,” Crews responded. “I have not had an occasion to address that.”

Well, at the boy came up with something that had “Brady” in it. I mean, sure, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 is a far, far cry from the more basic modern legal tenet set forth by the SCOTUS in 1963 via their opinion on the landmark case of Brady v. Maryland (373 U.S. 83).

To be fair though, I adhere to the now racist belief that actually being qualified for the job is much more important than the color of one’s skin or who or what they have sex with.

This is nigh on perfect for these days. It showcases some of the specific agnorance – a portmanteau of ignorance and arrogance – of some Millennials and Gen-Zers. They really think that either they invented stuff or that it was invented after the time of Gen-Xers. The case in point be vinyl records, which a number them have “appropriated.”

Let’s, however, laugh at them and not get too hypocritically angry. After all, we did this too, as did our parents, and as did their parents… most likely all the way to the beginnings of civilization. 😉
