Reflections From a Murky Pond

So, last week Ole’ Creepy Uncle Joe hared off to Kyiv, Ukraine to make some sort of “statement” while handing his family’s business partner, Volodymyr Zelenskyy another big chunk of American taxpayers’ money ($500 million). And, of course, it was something of a spectacular event with air sirens going off and explosions rocking the city. It was truly a stunning time, a “great risk” to Biden, and a sure sign of his courage and commitment to the cause.

Except that it was just theater, and very bad theater at that.

Indeed, Biden’s bad theater was so bad that even CNN – ever Democrat loyalists – felt compelled to comment upon it.

I’ve been here for the past five days. I have not heard any explosions. I have not heard any air sirens, until about half an hour ago, right when Joe Biden was in the center of Kyiv

But, Biden’s bad theater is par for the course with this “administration.” It’s just a bit more expensive than most off, off, off, off Broadway productions. It’s also the best that they can do, since they have to worry about a Code Silver every moment Biden’s awake and moving around where people can see or hear him.

If the last three years have shown us nothing else, they’ve shown us that the Lamestream Media – now, little more or better than a propaganda corps for our Leftist domestic enemies – have greatly improved their mesmerization techniques. And they done a “good” job focusing the the ever-eager-to-herded sheeple on whatever they and their fellow travelers want focused upon.

The Gender Inequality Myth perpetrated upon Americans is one of the most pernicious and factually inaccurate lies ever told to us, much less a lie so successfully promulgated. I’m sure Goebbels has a hard-on in his grave over it. 😉 The Feminists have, will, and won’t stop repeating the myth of “The Patriarchy” and claiming that they’re forced to the bottom of society. Yet, the truth is significantly different. The truth is that a very few men do occupy the top echelon, but the bottom echelons are also made up almost exclusively by men. Women are, for the most part, in just below the very peak to slightly below the middle of pyramid.

Now, in both fairness and a preference for factuality, this diagram is inherently inaccurate in that it’s scaling is in all likely off, and it doesn’t represent the complexities involved, i.e., there are no thin bands of pink in the blue and vice versa. This in an inherent flaw in such diagrams brought on by scaling – the blue at the top is most likely oversized for the sake of visibility – and decided upon lack of granularity for the sake of clarity as much as by bias and attempted manipulation. Also, there’s no indication available to determine how the various metrics were weighted.

It also is predicated, at least partially upon ephemerals and intangibles, e.g., power and quality of life. Once such unmeasurable and totally subjective inputs are added, the resulting values are flawed, especially since Feminists aren’t the most nuanced or discerning sorts, and their answers most likely skewed their results downward.

Overall though, the right side of the paired diagrams is a lot closer to the truth than the Gender Inequality Myth that Feminists keeping screeching about. But then, Feminism is a huge “industry” in America with a lot of people making their rent off of it, so this has to be expected.

New York Times columnist David Brooks is and has been an avowed enemy of America and the American People, but given him some small measure of credit. He is a rarity among his kind. He’s an honest enemy who has no fear or compunction about boldly stating what his fellow “journalists” should do or how far they should go to destroy America’s future and usher in their Democrat Dystopia. For this mercy should be granted to/upon him.

Recently, Brooks slammed leftist, lamestream media outlets and the Democratic Party for failing to find a winning strategy to sink the popularity of former President Trump and remove him from political discourse.  Yes, that is right. Brooks lambasted his fellow anti-American leftists for not using their platforms to destroy our electoral processes and what future there is for American democracy.

Those of us in this establishment correctly identified Trump as a grave threat to American democracy. The task before us was clear. We were never going to shake the hard-core MAGA folks. The job was to peel away independents and those Republicans offended by and exhausted by his antics.

The two most honest and equally chilling and important words in his rant our “the job.” [highlighted in quote] Those two words blatantly and unashamedly tell the world that David Brooks believes that the job of the media is to destroy President Trump and remove him from the political arena. And,by extension, those two words demand that the lamestream media decide who will be allowed in said arena and to hold political office.

To state so openly that the “press” should through any vestige of journalistic ethics aside is amazingly honest of Brooks. It’s rare to see anyone in the media speak the truth instead of hiding behind the lies of being sources of legitimate information and/or unbiased recorders of the events of the world. But, to state something so heinous so easily is also shows an amazing level of entitlement since Brooks obviously believes it safe for him to make such a statement and call to arms for all the world to hear.

And, My Fellow Americans, it’s not a good sign that Brooks feels safe enough to be so honest in public.

As we age, some things get harder to watch, what passes for news being near the top of that sad list. With the Lamestream Media being very little else than a Leftist propaganda corps for the sorts that vote Democrat – more and more the more extreme part of the party too – this is unavoidable.
