Leftist Lexicon Word of the Week

Say what you will about the man (and believe me I have), President Donald Trump has impacted the world on many levels, not the least of which being modern journalism. From the first utterance of “You’re fake news,” it was clear Trump was not going to be as cozy with the press as previous Presidents had been.

You know, when they weren’t calling Republicans Nazis, that is.

After the 2024 election, you could tell things were starting to shift. Almost a decade of parroting everything anti-Trump netted the media popularity and trust lower than that of used car salesmen. And to you used car salesmen reading this, I apologize to you for comparing you to the press.

Lately, this shift towards more balance reporting has the Leftists in the media (but, I repeat myself) fretting about “partisan hacks” taking over newsrooms, which means it gives me a chance to dive back into the muck that is modern news media. So, yay, I guess?

partisan hacks

What the Left thinks it means – conservatives skewing hard news reporting so they favor Trump and the GOP

What it really means – Leftist projection writ large

To say the media have a Leftist bias is like saying Hunter Biden kinda like drugs; accurate, but not nearly as thorough as it could be. Sure, they go out of their way to set up journalistic standards to let the world know they don’t root for one side or the other, but those standards are ignored more frequently than Hunter Biden ignores drug possession, gun, and tax laws.

Yes, I know I just used a Hunter Biden reference, but it bears repeating. Much like the fact the media lean more to the Left than a runner trying to make it back to first base to avoid a pick-off maneuver. Oh, and on a related note, the Chicago Cubs have not been mathematically eliminated from the post season as of this writing, but give it a week.

The Left’s control over the media lasted over a week and stretched into, oh, decades. You couldn’t swing a dead cat in media circles without hitting a Leftist, although I wouldn’t recommend it because it’s a dead fucking cat. Anyone to the right of Leon Trotsky was kept more in the closet than a gay agoraphobic hermit dodging an IRS audit. That meant only the Left’s position got promoted and anything outside of that was mocked as absurd because, to the ones in power, it was.

Even after conservative voices started being heard through talk radio, Fox News, and the Internet, the Left couldn’t give up the power it had amassed being the only voice in town. Soon, the powers that be decided to no longer hide the fact they were DNC stenographers with bylines, but openly embrace it. And if you thought reporting sucked before then, you were in for an unpleasant surprise, like having several root canals without anesthesia while Dylan Mulvaney recreates every episode of “Days of Girlhood” as it’s happening.

Oh, and your dentist? The Marquis de Sade.

With their grip on the narrative tighter than a little black dress made out of cling wrap, the Left made sure only their side got the prime gigs. And that, boys and girls, is how Taylor Lorenz still has a job in the media. This level of gatekeeping not only created a nearly impregnable echo chamber, but also an environment where they got to call the shots on what is considered “real journalism,” which was filtered down into journalism schools to create a never-ending pipeline of Leftist parrots wiling to squawk back the talking point of the day to fit in and maybe get invited to parties where other Leftists gathered to squawk back the talking point of the day.

It’s like Hell with a cash bar.

The problem with this, aside from having to hang out with Leftists for any length of time, is the gatekeepers strayed too far from what journalism actually is. During my lifetime on this planet, I saw the press go from the Fourth Estate questioning everything and tracking down the truth to being lapdogs for a President whose mental capacity was more diminished than Joe Biden’s. Which is really bad considering the President they were being lapdogs for was Joe Biden.

That’s why the media’s fear of “partisan hacks” taking over newsrooms and cable news outlets rings hollow to me. The partisan hacks were already there, and they lack even a scintilla of self awareness necessary to make the connection. Of course, they’ll come back and talk about journalistic integrity and standards they have to follow, but it’s all an act. If I had to choose between a room full of monkeys with typewriters and the entire MSNOW organization as to who could produce a straight news piece first, I’d go with the monkeys. Not only would they be more likely to accomplish the goal, but the room would be less covered in shit.

That’s not to say some news sources aren’t trying to right the journalistic ship. Prior to the 2024 election, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post both declined to endorse a Presidential candidate, which pissed off a lot of Leftists, partially because they felt the newspapers should have endorsed Queen Kamala the Appointed, and partially because they realized they were still paying for a subscription to the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post. More recently, CBS hired Bari Weiss to oversee their news division, which pissed off Leftists even more. Even the Leftist-friendly CNN made editorial changes to try to be closer to the political center, which pissed off Leftists.

Hmmm…there seems to be a pattern forming. First, Leftists getting pissed, although to be fair that’s their natural state. More important is their reaction to even a slight move towards the center (i.e. where journalism should be). This goes back to how Leftists hate to lose control of the narrative. Once you attempt to get a neutral view, the Left loses the power to get you to think the way they do. Then, you might…dare I say it…make up your own mind once you find out how full of shit the Left is!

That’s why the Left is trying so hard to get people to believe any attempt to reestablish journalistic neutrality threatens the profession as a whole. And the best way to do that? Call anyone involved a partisan hack. Well, from where I sit (in my comfy recliner in the living room as it turns out), the real partisan hacks are the ones bitching about partisan hacks taking over newsrooms. To borrow a line from “Send In the Clowns” (as perfect a song as any given the subject matter), “Don’t bother. They’re here.”

Instead of being introspective and realizing the role they’ve had in fostering a healthy distrust of the media, Leftists prefer poisoning the well, posting public temper tantrums that make most toddlers look like Solomon, and cheering when things go south. But let me put a finer point on this. The Left want you to get only one side of any story, even if that side is more out of step with reality than Jasmine Crockett on an acid trip. And they will stop at nothing to prevent you from being fully informed. Instead of doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on their positions, maybe they should look back at what happened with Nick Sandmann when the Left decided to spin a narrative.

And I’m sure he’ll get back to you once he’s done counting the money he got from you motherfuckers.

In the Meme Time

Oh boy, we have a good one for this installment. So here it is:

Dear MAGA Leftist Meme of Falsehoods

Take a read for a moment and then we’ll dive right into this one. Unlike a lot of Leftist memes, this doesn’t have an ounce of truth to it. Save for showing the true nature of Leftists themselves. This one is complete wickedness.

***

Kyle Rittenhouse and Alex Pretti are not the same. Different motives. Different set of circumstances. And a host of other differences. They simply cannot logically be compared with one another.

Kyle was defending property rights and lives from a violent mob. While Alex was part of a violent mob willfully impeding justice, and he had a history of doing so.

They were both armed. But that is the only similarity between the two men and their actions. Kyle defended himself from an aggressive violent mob. Firing warning shots before he ever had to shot his assailants. And when he was confronted by the police. He surrendered his weapon and followed police instructions. Not doing so would have led to his death.

Alex on the other hand did not. He attacked and provoked the police and he drew his weapon on them. He too knew that he could get shot and killed but he did it any way. He wanted to be a martyr. His actions lead to the confrontation and to his death.

No one believes that Alex Pretti deserved to die. No one deserves such a fate. It was a tragic, yet preventable death.

As for the 2nd Amendment. They were both in their Constitutional rights to be armed. Yet Alex chose suicide by cop instead of life.

***

First of all let’s be 100% clear here. There is NO right to protest. The right in the Constitution is to peacefully assemble and that wasn’t happening in Minnesota.

Again here the Left is trying to compare very different events in the hope that you are an idiot. The events of January 6th 2021 are vastly different from the events in Minnesota the day Renee Good lost her life. I hate to repeat myself but it must be done. No one deserves to die. Renee’s death could have been prevented by Renee herself. But like Alex, she was a known instigator and came looking for a confrontation with law enforcement.

Her lesbian lover was filming the entire thing and was outside of their vehicle. She is also responsible for Renee’s tragic death. Renee Good chose to commit suicide by cop. She wanted a filmed confrontation with ICE and she got it.

***

The term you are looking for is “illegal aliens.” Not “undocumented criminals.” Their criminal history is very much documented. The little boy in the bunny hat was never detained by ICE. The evidence is very clear in this case. The boy’s father was a wanted criminal and fled the area leaving the boy behind.

What ICE did was ensured that no harm came to the child that was abandoned by his criminal father. The streets were a chaotic mess with the illegal protesting and mobs attacking law enforcement. Protecting the child was the right thing to do in this case.

To answer the question, of course this is fully about illegal aliens, their arrest and deportation. Age is not a factor in someone’s legal status, children can be illegal aliens too. And all illegal aliens are criminals. They broke the law by entering the country unlawfully. Others have committed additional crimes and some very serious ones.

***

No one is being executed in the streets. That is bearing false witness. Executions are not happening in the streets of the United States. To see executions in the streets go to Iran and other Leftist regimes.

Alex Pretti and Renee Good were not executed in the streets. Their deaths are a tragic loss of life. But they died because they broke multiple laws and willfully agitated the situation to the point of violence that was ended with their deaths.

Tragic but not at all against the doctrine of pro-life.

***

The truth of each of these points is acceptable. The Leftist lies about them are not. Truth can be tragic so it shouldn’t ever be sugar coated. And it should never be altered with falsehoods and wickedness.

Principles are always about truths. And we hold these truths to be self evident. Cut through the hype and toss out the media propaganda. Truth remains. Clear and principled.

The MAGA movement believes that there is one race, human. And that all human life is sacred. MAGA also believes in Law and Order. All of the issues pointed out here could have been avoided if people simply followed the laws of the United States.

The only bullshit is the Leftist propaganda and lies that distort facts and conceal the truth in this meme. Those that buy such Leftist bullshit either hate the United States and want to see it burn or they are just part of the Left’s army of useful idiots.

Leftist Lexicon Word of the Week

Scandal and politics go hand in hand like Dylan Mulvaney and the world’s worst Audrey Hepburn from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” impersonator. Some, like the Somali fraud in Minnesota, are pretty substantial. Others…well, let’s just say they’re fucking stupid and should be mocked.

This week, Secretary of War (because Secretary of Killing the Enemy and Breaking Their Shit was too long to put on a t-shirt) Pete Hegseth found himself at the center of a controversy over…and I wish I were making this up…surf and turf. Seems Pete’s been going on a spending spree to the tune of $93.4 billion, including $15.1 million on ribeyes, $2 million on Alaskan king crab, over $7.4 million a month on lobster tails, and other items ranging from Apple products to a piano.

Now, Leftists who normally wouldn’t give one-one-millionth of a shit about spending are up in arms about it! Of course, the usual suspects like Senator Adam “I’m the Love Child of a Human Woman and a Galapagos Tortoise” Schiff, Jasmine “Stacey Abrams 2.0” Crockett, and Adam “Temu Adam Schiff” Kinzinger rushed to social media to lambast the spending, calling it a waste of taxpayer funds from the Administration that gave us DOGE.

Guess which kind of scandal I’m putting Lobstergate in.

Lobstergate

What the Left thinks it means – a waste of money for extravagant luxury items

What it really means – an opportunity for the Left to take all the seats

When it comes to government spending, I’m very much like my idol and spirit animal Ron Swanson. Government is too damn big, so trimming the fat with a chainsaw seems like a good first step. Naturally, when I saw the price tag and what the money was being spent on, my first instinct was to complain. Then, my second instinct was to take a whiz because I had drunk a lot of adult beverages just an hour before.

Eventually, though, the rational side of my mind (or at least the side that can at least appear rational to the untrained eye) started looking into the specifics. I started with the steak because, well, steak. In September 2025, the Department of War spent $22 million on steak and lobster, which makes for one hell of a cookout.

Now, those who know a thing or two about financial matters might take note of the month where this money was spent. For those of you who don’t (or who are Leftists, which is pretty much the same thing), September marks the end of the fiscal year, which in government circles means spend as much as you can even if you’re not going to lose it if it isn’t spent. That adds some perspective to the Leftists’ bullshit.

And, as the MAGA Right will tell you, the steak and lobster didn’t go to Pistol-Packin’-Pete. It was given to…our military, as it has been done repeatedly in the past. Given the state of MREs (famously called Meals Refused by Ethiopians per the late great P. J. O’Rourke), I can excuse splurging on surf and turf because a famous man once said, “an army travels on its belly.”

And that man? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.

Aside from the steak and seafood, something else that caught my eye was the $98,329 grand piano. And that’s not all! Once you drill down to some of the more…bizarre expenditures, it gets harder and harder to justify.

Welcome to government accounting 101, where the budgets are made up and fiscal responsibility doesn’t matter.

And before you go off saying this reporting is from a Soros-funded think tank, I decided to take a closer look at the organization that reported on the extravagant spending under Hegseth’s watch, a little group the kids like to call Open the Books. To put it simply, they were DOGE before DOGE was a thing. Unless Uncle George has gone into funding fiscal conservative groups (which given what bullshit he’s thrown his money towards is highly unlikely), these are some of the “good guys.”

I’ve long been a proponent of reining in excessive and stupid spending, and Lobstergate has a mix of understandable yet excessive spending and drunken sailors on shore leave have more fiscal restraint spending. This is the nature of federal government for most of my life: spend now, figure it out later. Regardless of which major party holds the purse strings, we constantly find out about expensive toilet seats and promoting pineapple juice, but we never do anything about it as voters. Even when politicians tell us they want to cut spending, it never fucking happens.

A big part of this is the “spend it or lose it” mentality within the government. In order to justify spending more next year, bureaucrats and politicians find ways to spend money before the end of the fiscal year showing they really need all that extra money next year. After all, we can’t expect our fighting men and women to be at their best if we don’t spend billions of dollars on furniture, can we?

Actually, I’m pretty sure we can. Last time I checked, a credenza can’t shoot worth a shit. Maybe it’s because, well, it’s a piece of fucking furniture.

One of the things I will always go on record in criticizing with the Trump Administration is the number of unforced errors they make on the regular. This is one of them. And, yes, I know it’s business as usual in DC, but from the jump the current Trump Administration focused on cutting waste. Lobstergate doesn’t help that image and makes the President seem as two-faced as the Swamp creatures he ran against.

This almost gives the Left a W here. I say almost because they’re not much better at fiscal responsibility as Republicans have been in recent decades. In no way does it excuse the Right, but it puts their critiques into context. They’re just anti-Trump at this point, so even if he does something they approved in the past, it’s horrible.

Yeah, you’re not beating the charges of being flaming hypocrites anytime soon, kids.

And you should really take a seat. In fact, take all the seats. After the Obamacare debacle, you should never be considered credible by anyone with two working brain cells. I mean, you guys kept parroting Paul Krugman’s bullshit and he’s as reliable as Miss Cleo hooked up to a lie detector. You’re just not good at economics, and it shows.

Meanwhile, Lobstergate is more about government spending than it is about the Left/Right debate, mainly because both sides are horrible at staying within a budget, or passing one for that matter. The national debt is an ongoing concern, and reckless spending on last minute items isn’t the way to address it. Just ask anyone who racks up a huge credit card bill over the holidays.

Instead, let me propose an idea that’s worked everywhere it’s been tried: if you don’t need it, don’t spend money on it. Sure, you may lose money next fiscal year because you didn’t use up everything you received this year, but when the national debt is higher than Hunter Biden at Crack-A-Palooza, it’s more important to make the money stretch farther than to secure more money for grand pianos and Sesame Street in Iraq.

Trust the free market on this, kids. If there’s a need, it will be filled as soon as someone finds a way to make money off it. And I’m not talking Congresscritters here. If there is a demand for a good or service, government doesn’t have to step in and fill it; a smart businessperson will step up and do it. Then, he or she will have to pay taxes on that investment, so you’ll get your money, just not deposited directly into your pockets like you normally get it. Government intervention in creating demand never works out well in the end, especially when you consider most politicians and bureaucrats wouldn’t know a ROI from a DUI.

The difference? Government types get a lot more of the latter on our tax dollars than they do the former.

Leftist Lexicon Word of the Week

In case you haven’t been listening to Leftists (and, to be honest, why would you), we are at war with Iran. An illegal, unconstitutional, and all around not good war that will result in a gazillion deaths of American troops, all because President Donald Trump wanted to start a war to distract from the Epstein Files, which totally prove he’s a pedophile and Trump redacted all of the references to his pedophile activities!

That and $5 can get you a cup of steamed milk with a shot of coffee at Starbucks.

I’m referring to Operation Epic Fury, because apparently Operation Kick Iranian Ass and Break Their Shit didn’t test well in focus groups. As you might expect, opinions on the matter range from pro-military jingoism to anti-military jingoism. You might say it was Jingoism Unchained.

I’ll see myself out…

Actually, I can’t because I have a Lexicon entry to finish!

Operation Epic Fury

What the Left thinks it means – a lot of saber-rattling from a weak President designed to take people’s attentions away from his shortcomings

What it really means – a long-overdue military strike with the possibility of the shit hitting the fan

War in the Middle East is as constant as Leftists being shrill and annoying. Unlike the latter, however, the Middle East isn’t going to ask to speak to our manager. Instead, they’re going to fight the Great Satan,

And given how the US military is an NRA wet dream, it’s not going to be a long fight.

At least, I hope it’s not going to be a long fight. The last time we got involved in that neck of the world, we were there for a while and it ended badly.

While the warhawks, the chickenhawks, and the jive turkeys battle it out in the Thunderdome of ideas, there are a couple of things I need to point out, both of which are directly related to the Left’s bitching over the war.

First, what Trump did isn’t illegal. There’s a little thing called the War Powers Resolution of 1973 that gives the President a far wider berth to initiate military action prior to a formal declaration of war. As long as the President lets Congress know within 48 hours, he/she (still 2 genders, kids) has a total of 90 days before a formal war declaration has to be made.

And, guess what? He did.

I know Leftists work within a different frame of reality than the rest of us, but you’re gonna have a hard time convincing me following the letter and the spirit of the law is illegal.

Now, for the Constitutional part of the lesson. As yet, there hasn’t been a challenge to the War Powers Resolution’s constitutionality by either major party, and I get why: both sides want to be able to wage war without having to go through the actual process of declaring it. Because of this, the War Powers Resolution has been invoked 130 times between 1973 and 2011. Oddly enough, 130 is also the average age of Congresscritters, but I digress.

The point is until the War Powers Resolution is struck down by the US Supreme Court, it’s as constitutional as, well, the Constitution. Just because Congressional Leftists got assmad they weren’t allowed to blab about it ahead of the attack doesn’t mean the Constitution was circumvented. Given how our Leftist pals have a tendency to leak information to foreign powers (I’m looking at you Eric “Fang Fang’s Bitch” Swalwell), I can understand why the Trump Administration didn’t let Congress know too far in advance.

On a side note, I didn’t have “Leftists cheering for people who literally do what they say Christian Nationalists want to do” on my 2026 Bingo card, but here we are.

As much fun as it is to point and laugh at the Left being caught up on the 20 side of an 80-20 issue, we have to maintain some perspective. War isn’t an IRL Call of Duty game. Shit gets real really fast. And despite the calls of the neocons, the warhawks, and more than a few military hardware suppliers, war shouldn’t be the default position. It should be a last step, period.

This is where things get a little dicey for me. On the one hand, Iran has wanted us dead for almost have a century and wasn’t shy about letting us know. On the other, any American intervention in the Middle East has the potential to be a beachfront quagmire of a clusterfuck. If we want to make progress there, we can’t half-ass it. We have to go in with our full ass and get shit done.

That’s where we’ve dropped the ball in the past. Although the Left accuses the Trump Administration of trying to conduct nation-building in Iran and elsewhere, the fact is we’re more nation-subcontractors. We’ll go in and wreck shit, but once the destruction is done, a lot of times we bail out before the country we’ve turned into rubble and shell casings can ask “So, now what?”

And given the fact we got Iran into this mess in the first place back in 1979, we kinda owe it to Iran to fix this situation.

That’s why we have to be verrrrrrry careful how we proceed with Operation Epic Fury. Especially with the spelling. I’ve already seen the Interwebs calling it Operation Epic Furry, and when you go furry, there’s no going back.

Don’t ask me how I know.

The point is we broke Iran, and now we have to fix it and do it better than we’ve done, well, since 1979. We have a bad track record when it comes to the “so now what” phase of the military action, and that has to stop. In the aftermath of war, there’s a lot of rebuilding to be done, especially when it comes to infrastructure. When we go into a country and break their shit, we look pretty shitty when we disappear like Claude Rains cosplaying as Harvey the Rabbit leaving the people we were helping to pick up after us. Dick move, bro!

Now, we need to approach Iran with the same attitude we had after World War II. Not only did we blow shit up, but we helped rebuild the countries we blew up. That helped build our reputation around the world as one of the good guys, and we need that kind of positive PR these days after decades of being hands-on when it came to blowing shit up, but hands-off when it came time to build shit back up.

And if Trump can do that, he will go a long way towards solidifying his place in history, but grease the skids for the GOP going into midterms and the 2028 Presidential election. Granted, the Left are too busy being tone deaf assholes to field an even marginally passable candidate or come up with a platform that will appeal to people who have normal hair colors, but let’s not count our chickens before they hatch here.

Regardless of how you feel about Operation Epic Fury, it’s a little late to try to pull back the reins to get our war machine to slow down, let alone stop. We’re involved, so we have to be willing to do all of the hard work now and later. If we don’t, we’re looking at having Iran hate us even more than they already did under the religious leadership there before we gave them backstage access to the hereafter.

And the 72 virgins? All dead ringers for Yasser Arafat. Or is that Ringo Starr?






Leftist Lexicon Word of the Week

As we get closer to March (check local listings for the month in your area), our thoughts turn to an event that brings smiles to the faces of millions. I’m talking about, of course, March Madness.

But since we’re not there yet as of the date of this writing, we have to focus on something a lot less fun, that being the State of the Union Address which is a whole different kind of madness altogether. This annual speech gives the President a chance to talk about how great and strong America is, maybe hit on one or two red meat issues, and bloviate far too long. And since it’s Donald Trump giving the speech, you know the Left has to try to counter it.

That brings us to this week’s Lexicon entry. During the actual State of the Union Address, some Leftists decided to hold the People’s State of the Union Address. And, yes, it was just as lame as it sounds. But it made Leftists feel better about sucking more ass than a man addicted to donkey smoothies, so yay, I guess?

the People’s State of the Union

What the Left thinks it means – a rally to tell the truth about what’s going on in America right now under President Trump

What it really means – a symbolic gesture without much symbolism

Now, what the Left did in response to the State of the Union Address isn’t new. We have to go waaaaaaaaaay back to…2018, when Leftists held a People’s State of the Union Address to offer an alternative to President Trump’s State of the Union Address. This was a breathtaking affair, complete with celebrities like Mark Ruffalo and Rosie Perez in the house.

Because nothing says “we know what’s going on in the real world” like people who play pretend for a living.

As you might expect, it was as impactful as a Nerf avalanche (Nerf triage kit sold separately), in spite of the press giving it a predictable spit shine. There were other protests, but they were just as inane as this one. This year, they brought the idea out of mothballs and did it again.

Hmmm…I don’t remember these folks having a People’s State of the Union Address during President Brick Tamland’s term. Wonder why that is…

Anyway, the People’s State of the Union Address was a dud, and predictably so. Yes, we get it. You hate Trump, and you tell us every day you hate Trump. Do you need to hold a rally to reinforce you hate Trump? Not really. It’s like the No Kings protests last year: getting Leftists together to show how much they hate Trump, but never really doing anything but speaking truth to the powerless. If impotent rage had a human face, it would be the No Kings protests.

And the People’s State of the Union.

And pretty much anything else the Left has come up with since Trump was reelected.

You know how I know the People’s State of the Union was a dud? The Left resorted to an appeal to popularity to make it sound like it was successful. Leftists crowed about getting 2 million live viewers for their Suck-A-Palooza rally, but the actual State of the Union Address got…an estimated 32.6 million live viewers. For those of you bad at math or Leftist (which aren’t mutually exclusive, I grant you), that means it would take over 16 People’s State of the Unions to equal 1 Trump State of the Union.

Next stop: Getting Your Ass Stomped Ville. Population: the People’s State of the Union audience.

This speaks to one of the fundamental flaws of the Left: they grossly overestimate how popular their positions are. Of course, it doesn’t help that the only people they listen to are other Leftists, so it creates one big echo chamber that would rival the Grand Canyon in size, which is second only to “The View” in terms of a being great big void in America.

As funny as it is to mock the Left for exhibiting cult-like behavior, there’s another layer to this shit, one that I’ve seen as a recovering Leftist. By surrounding yourself only with people who repeat what you believe, you start to create your own reality, which often bears little to no resemblance to actual reality.

In other words, it’s basically Dylan Mulvaney.

While it may be fun and welcoming in your corner of Delululand (not to be confused with Deluluworld on the West Coast), it makes it hard to connect to people outside of it. After all, they might…dare I even fathom it…deny your reality! Then, all Hell breaks loose! After all, if you could be wrong that dressing up like a fairy princess when you’re built like the defensive line of the Seattle Seahawks isn’t realistic, it might make you question what else you believe.

In this scenario, there are two options, three if you count fleeing in terror. You can either accept the new information and integrate it into your life, or you can deny it.

And guess which one Leftists invariably choose.

This leads to a lot of mocking from outside the Leftist hivemind, but it’s becoming a serious problem from a governmental perspective. In order to pass, enforce, and rule on legislation, there has to be a common point of reference. The further we get away from that, the harder it becomes to run the government.

Wait…did I just make an argument in favor of letting that shit go?

Never mind.

The point is when nothing can be nailed down, everything is in a state of flux. A bedrock principle one day becomes vapor the next if enough people believe it and vice versa. But reality isn’t about what you believe; it’s about what is. A dog is a dog is a dog because it just is. Believing a dog is a 2 story Victorian home in Vermont doesn’t make it so. For one, you don’t have to pick up Victorian home shit when you walk it.

I bring all of this up to give you a fuller picture of what the People’s State of the Union actually was: a poorly planned political stunt that will fire up the base, but do precious little to get others to join in their reindeer games. Not even if you get Ben Affleck.

If I may offer a piece of advice to the Left (and, I may because it’s my fucking blog entry), it’s to start thinking about a policy that doesn’t involve a daily reminder you hate Trump. That shit’s played out since his first term in office, and I don’t think there are enough fans to warrant a sequel. With midterms right around the corner, you have to get your shit together and come up with a strategy.

Like maybe not being obnoxious assholes.

But given how Congressional Democrats acted during the State of the Union Address, that’s going to be a big ask.
