Mental Notes & Random Musings

There is generally nobody alive right now that doesn’t remember the United States at war with some country or another. I would be lying if I said I remember anything firsthand about the Vietnam War (or was that a conflict) because when the last American troops were removed, I had only just turned three, and Communists rolled over the rest of the country in 1975. I was only five, and fortunately blissfully ignorant to it all. I was nine years old when Iran was overthrown by Islamic Theocracy and remember the hostages being taken from the American embassy. It became part of my late elementary school social studies classes, and we weren’t across the Rubicon of the Educational Theocracy taking full control of the school system. Carter looked foolish the entire time, even to a nine and ten-year-old.  Looking back on this with adult eyes it is amazing that a child in Portsmouth New Hampshire (the foremost beachhead of far-left idiocy for the entire state of New Hampshire now a days) coul...

You know me. I am all about saving the planet through recycling, and this is just my latest example. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

If I make it for a blog you know it is going to be in the MEME rotation sooner or later. If you are Gen X you get this. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

When Teddy Roosevelt had the talk with his rich friends about their companies unionizing whether they like it or not, as well as the huge land grabs that were made for “the sake of preserving nature” the progressive era began its insidious creep. Many would say when Teddy started the Bull Moose party and forced the most divisive progressive racist president to ever sit in the Whitehouse, Woodrow Wilson upon the country, was the start. That is because many are in denial about how progressive and anti-human Roosevelt was, and the rest were all in for it. It sure makes taking over the industry and the land easier though, and slowly but surely, we have watched imminent domain for whatever stupid reason a corrupt politician and a judge can come up with ensue.  7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan   The United States has...

The “No Kings” rally as painful as it was to watch from the perspective of a mid-generational, Gen X member like me, should be a learning experience to the chest thumping MAGA aficionados, hollering about how the mainstream news media is finished. They now pound their chests about how it was a bunch of old people at the “No Kings” rallies while at the same time the young and criminally sympathetic are out burning cities and throwing rocks at cars. Pointing these things out for online engagement and not doing anything constructive to fix any of it is starting to become the MAGA thing, and it was an online death sentence a few months ago to point out we were going there, but here we are.  The mainstream news media still has full control of two major factors in the sociopathic left. The elderly folks that never really got into technology, and those that did only use it to keep up with the family on Facebook. They rely on a vapid Facebook experience to give them all their online news, ...

The more the leftist white women of America cosplay, the more they tell us how they behave with the door closed in the bedroom. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

No I haven't forgotten that there is an Empress of Star Wars that will just keep coming back and ruining stories until the end of days as well. We'll probably have a CGI one of her going into the 3000s. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

Here we are at the post-midlife part of “As Jeremy’s World Turns” the audiobook. Over the last 20 years or so, I have had a steady stream of old classics, new classics, fantasy, science fiction, and history lectures from the great courses. They have all molded my free time in the car, airplane rides, as well as the insanely long amount of time you must hang out in terminals and of course the long walks through town. Music gets stuck in my head, but audiobooks get stuck in my heart. It is impossible to cover everyone I have listened to, but these are the ones I hope nobody misses. Most of them are a hand-arounds at work, as there is a dozen of us who are audio book listeners outside of work, and audiobook discussers at work. I will also talk about the readers of the audiobooks as they really do make the book better, or worse.  Brandon Sanderson: Stormlight Archive – Read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading  I wouldn’t have known Brandon Sanderson at all had I not decided to star...

Thank God, the Donald can't run for reelection because everyone knows you will never get anywhere without the support of this guy. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

The Junior High School years were different than the elementary school years. No longer did we have recess of snack breaks. Homework became a part of my life, and yes as a parent of three children I can tell you that the amount of homework my kids started bringing home from elementary school made me more concerned than elated. Elementary school was about socialization and the ability to learn the basics. Junior High school was about correlating them all so that in High School you had the basis to start becoming an adult. I was genuinely becoming less young and less dumb by the day, in theory.  Of course, it was Middle School by the time my kids were in this state of life, and sixth grade was now part of that school and not the elementary school. The homework that was piled on them from the oldest daughter to the middle son, to the youngest daughter increased all through elementary school, and was downright insane during middle school. This is where the old and dumb like me had the ...

As I wrote about in Musical Methadone Volume 7, it's been a long time since Will Smith commanded respect, and he is still in denial about it. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

Just making sure you all got the memo already. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

Any type of protest funded by progressive organizations around the world is peaceful no matter how many people get injured and how much property is destroyed. Read your memos already. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

If you ever get the feeling that you are held hostage by the lunatic left and the people that vote for them, in far off locations that have nothing to do with you, it's because you are normal.

The real secret that Bernie Sanders and his idols behind the Soviet Union had, was the freedom to travel, or lack thereof. Even China lets people travel, as long as they leave family behind to be punished if you don't come back. In Soviet Russia, it was so bad people were willing to leave their family behind to be tortured. A country of slaves is technically property, not human beings anyway. 6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state   This started with the FCC telling Americans what they could hear, or see, and expanded to various forms of suppression of free travel. First you had regulations of your vehicle registrations, the driver's license, and other things that we are told are “privileges” and not “rights” but as it ever expands things like 911 have created over engorgement of a TSA that does nothing more than harass people in the name of safety. When people start leaving the airline industry to go to trains, they talked...

It’s that time of year again, where democrat politicians do everything, possible to get arrested on camera. They believe that it makes the lawless masses that they represent, feel more in tune with them. The idiot parade then begins as the legacy news media all gets the vapors watching said politician getting in front of the camera, drunk off their own farts, and the people that parrot this stuff on social media make the rest of us sick to our stomachs. There are very few people in the middle that gravitate to this because the middle is usually the thirty plus crowd that has seen this show for most of their adult life and know what it really is and what it really means and where our side is just as stupid.  What it really is.   It is something that genuinely questions the intelligence of the people that it reaches. If you happen to be into the staged arrest syndrome, and have noticed people brushing off your opinions, it is because you are an idiot and people don’t want to go ...

There are so many thing in this world that are as easy as cat math. Fire will burn, water is wet, no matter how hard the public indoctrination and education system tries to convince you otherwise.

Just a reminder, that even though the #MeToo movement fell apart there are still groups clinging to the power of it, and they appear to have a new heroine to support. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.

Ok, can we get one thing straight right now. Will Smith hasn’t crossed the point where he should put himself out there yet. To be clear, Tupac's girlfriend’s cuckold husband really should just stay in the basement until his very presence doesn’t remind us of his failed parenthood, and fake marriage. Yes, he was very talented in the day, and he may even still be talented now, but the slap heard round the world where he tried to be a bully instead of a cuckold, is still fresh in our minds. The vision of him talking about his wife’s affair with his son’s friend on his wife’s podcast is still fresh in our minds. The vision of his son walking around with a black foam castle wrapped around his head is still fresh in our mind. His newest music video reminds us that we haven’t been throwing tomatoes at him lately.  The fact that his video is one of those traditional 90s style videos with the girlies dancing around, dressed like club hos, while Will da Pimp bounces in and out of the frame. ...

Just a reminder that as bad as The Elon and The Donald are acting, this is the other side's bench. Have whatever kind of day you want! It's not stealing. I give these to you freely to use wherever you want.
