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

With the recent shooting of Renee Good in Minnesota, a lot of attention has gathered around a single issue. Is it illegal immigration? Nope. Is it federal tax dollars being stolen by foreign scammers? Not at all. Is it, dare I speak it, the proliferation of buttons at the Golden Globes? Yes, but also no.

The focus from both sides of the political shitshow is on domestic terrorism. The Left is pointing at ICE and saying, “See? We told you they were domestic terrorists!” The Right is pointing at anti-ICE protesters and saying, “See? We told you they were domestic terrorists!” And meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice, we have people like me scratching our heads. Mostly because of dandruff in my case, but also because I’m having a hard time understanding how both sides can come to the same conclusion from two different points of view, and yet be completely wrong about it.

Consider this my therapy session. You’re welcome?

domestic terrorism

What the Left thinks it means – right-leaning individuals in the government who are attacking average people without cause

What the Right thinks it means – left-leaning individuals against the government who are attacking ICE to try to prevent them from doing their jobs

What it really means – a term that’s waaaaaaay overused these days

American politics has never been a weak person’s game, although you wouldn’t know it by looking at current Congresscritters like Eric Swalwell or previous Congresscritters like Adam Kinzinger. I mean, we’ve had people duel over political differences, as Alexander Hamilton’s family can attest.

Having said that, today’s version of American politics is a different breed of cat altogether. To say people are on edge is like saying water is wet, fire is hot, and Al Gore is boring. People are willing to die (or in some cases let others die) for an ideological movement so they have a rallying cry. And, without even a hint of irony, they call anyone opposed to them domestic terrorists because, well, that’s how the game is played anymore.

Being a word guy, I take a different approach to word usage than most people. The impact of some words can throw a flaming tanker truck onto the world’s biggest pile of hay drier than the drinks at a Mormon strip club. And let me tell you calling someone a domestic terrorist kinda fits that bill.

Granted, each side has their own idea of what constitutes a domestic terrorist. The Left thinks it’s anyone whiter than Edgar Winter at an outdoor picnic at Ice Station Zero and more to the right than Pat Buchanan. The Right thinks it’s anyone whose hair colors don’t match anything remotely close to natural and have opinions so far to the Left they would make Karl Marx look like Ronald Reagan. Whether you’re MAGA or Antifa, you’re a dangerous extremist to someone.

And therein lies the problem.

With a political landscape so toxic, it gets frightfully easy to demonize your opponents, which ramps up the heated rhetoric. It’s not enough that your opponent disagrees with you; they are your blood enemies. And it even works within the ideological sides, as any Leftist kicked off Bluesky and any Rightist who isn’t 129,000,000% MAGA will tell you, as can your humble correspondent. I’ve been kicked out of so many ideological groups I have boot marks on my ass. Or was that from the time I spent in a sex dungeon in Amsterdam?

Never mind.

The point is when everybody can be seen as a domestic terrorist by one person or another, it dilutes the meaning of the term and makes it harder for us to recognize actual domestic terrorists. Yes, the Left and the Right have their extremists nuttier than squirrel shit, but for the most part they wouldn’t fall into the category of terrorism until they commit acts of actual terrorism.

Which brings us to the “what does that mean” section of the Lexicon entry. And, yes, I realize you ask that question all the time while reading my rants, but this is different. The good folks at Dictionary.com define terrorism thus:

1. the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.

2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism.

3. a terrorist method of governing or of resisting a government.

4. intimidation or coercion by instilling fear

So…that’s neat.

What this means in the context of our current political shitshow is there are a lot of people on both sides (albeit on the extremes) that subscribe to the notion their terrorism is freedom and other people’s terrorism is terrorism. But if you’re using the same tactics, it doesn’t matter if you’re red or blue; you’re a fucking terrorist.

This is why it’s important we don’t lump all of the Left and all of the Right under the same domestic terrorism umbrella. Not everyone is going to pick up arms and start shooting up a Congresscritter’s house. That’s reserved for people hired by Governor TIMMAH Walz.

Seriously, though, we’ve seen how absurd this approach is just by looking at some of the people caught up in the January 6th situation. Yes, there were some assholes in the crowd (I’m looking at you, Nick Fuentes), but not all the assholes got caught, and some of the people who were caught weren’t of the terrorist variety. Of course, that didn’t stop the Left from painting them all as domestic terrorists. Because as we all know grandmas are the real domestic terrorists, amirite?

Actually, I’m not right, in the head or otherwise.

The reason both sides throw the domestic terrorism label around like a football at a barbecue at Tom Brady’s place is because it allows the “otherization” of their perceived opponents. And, yes, Leftists, I see you doing this all the time with your “MAGAt” talk. Not that the “Libtard” calls coming from the Right are any better. Even so, there is a large difference between “MAGAt” and “Libtard” and actual domestic terrorism, but neither side wants to make that distinction because, well, it’s easy, fun, and doesn’t hurt anybody.

At least, not until the guns start firing.

And where we are right now, it’s only a matter of time. All it takes is one asshole to take it upon himself or herself (still two genders, by the way) to take matters into his/her own hands and strike a blow for his/her side. Then, we all become domestic terrorists unless we decide to take a different path.

The first step? Not calling the other side domestic terrorists unless they are domestic terrorists.

The second step is a little harder to accomplish, but it’s no less important. Call out the motherfuckers who are causing all the chaos and tell them to shut the fuck up. I don’t care if you’re Democrat or Republican, socialist or capitalist, a New England Patriots fan or wrong, we have to be brave enough to take on the more vocal provocateurs on our own side. For all of their bluster, there are more of us than there are of them, and judging solely by the idea the loudest voices are often the most chicken shit, they will run for their little hidey-holes the second someone tells them to take a seat.

Then, we get to step 3: realizing both sides of the political divide are people, not ideologies. Granted, some of those barely qualify as sentient let alone human, but we still need to try and find some common ground. I will speak for myself, mainly because I’m the only one who knows me best, but I try to remove the politics from the person and look for something we agree on and go from there.

I love Samuel L. Jackson for no other reason than he has perfected the use of the word “motherfucker.” He and I don’t see eye to eye on politics, but we can groove together on movies. Once you find that common denominator, ideology takes a back seat to fandom. And last time I checked, there has never been a world war started because of a fandom.

Now, online, on the other hand…well, let’s just leave it alone.

But you see the point, I hope. Neither side is comprised of only domestic terrorists, nor should we assume they are. I quote the great philosopher Dave Mason:

So let’s leave it alone
‘Cause we can’t see eye to eye.
There ain’t no good guy.
There ain’t no bad guy.
There’s only you and me, and we just disagree.

And if we can’t trust someone who gave us “Ooh, oh-oh-oh,” who can we trust?
