As television dies a slow, painful death — strangled by the very cable it thought had saved it — I witness that TV commercials now are all DEI with three-word slogans that sound vaguely AI created. Lizzo has replaced Kate Upton, perhaps eating her. Lizzo’s after picture
I saw that CNN thing with John King and the CNN folks were truly amazed that many Iowans don’t trust or believe the spew they utter on their network. Well, many of us in Florida don’t believe what they spew either.
Good post today, Don.
Oh…and you are soooo right about the phony “compassionate conservative “. What a loser he turned out to be
The left is expert in the business of using fear porn for control and destruction of all things good. The irony is they get to make up the silly rules (masks work, CO2 is boiling the oceans) - and they end up BELIEVING their own lies. I guess that is why liberalism is a mental disorder.
Good morning, Don, et al. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to post one of my all time favorite quotes from the late great brilliant PJ O’Rourke…
"At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats."
You are dead on Poca man! We know how it ends. Our King is coming. We will be with Him forever! He lives in us now and we live in Him! We get to love and cherish Him! And we will for all eternity! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Conservatives are happier because they have Faith and they know how the story ends. Yet there is a dangerous palpable anger. One I have never felt before. Conservatives also believe in fairness, in elections, in Justice, in economics. When they see the inherent unfairness on display they get angry, not J6 angry. I’m happy inheriting, but growing more and more concerned that at some point the conservative anger wave will wash over this great land like a tsunami. And while many may wish for one, waves rarely go were they should go.

PDJT didn’t know what a Blizzard was, so he asked.
Smart people admit what they don’t know and ask.
John Fraud Kerry would have said “Blizzards will be a thing of the past due to global warming. Where can I get me a huntin’ license”.
Soetoro whole have said “I got caught in one in Chicago”.
Xiden would have groped the girl behind the counter and said “Cmon man, you know, the thing”.
The Ho VP would have said “Blizzards are blizzardy. They bliz and zard all day. I think about blizzards all the time and how their effect on their effects”.
Chris Christie and Lizzo would say “I’ll take one of everything, whatever the hell they are. Xtra cheese please. And super -size them”.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana would say “ma’am, I’d like a large order of onion rings and a Bacon Two Cheese Deluxe double Signature Stackburger to go with my Reeces and Oreo Blizzard”.
08/16/23: How I love it when strong declarative sentences commence the narrative:
"As television dies a slow, painful death — hanged by the very cable it thought was its gold mine..."
I'll never understand why most writers don't understand why they should (if capable) do the same. I can't recall the book title, but years ago, I was reading a good one and suddenly realized that the author had perfected the art of creating a concise lead sentence that, each time, stated the point of his paragraph. Took my breath away, that it did.
Don, you brought up my favorite punching bag --Micheal Dukakis. After being destroyed by world socialist George Bush in the 1988 election, Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr had this to say about Dukakis;
"Michael Dukakis now has a 79 percent unfavorable rating here in Massachusetts. It's almost enough to wonder what's wrong with other 21%. Joe Biden should be hitting that any day now.
“It appears — and stop me if any of this sounds familiar — that happiness is at least partially about how connected a person is to other humans, particularly through the mechanisms of family, faith and community. Self-proclaimed liberals are less likely than conservatives, on average, to be tied to those three institutions.”

“They won but they were wrong — every time.” Another great column Don.
BTW, I still want my votes for the Bushes back.

In the midst of all the devastation and wreckage occurring all around us, we can stand fast and find light in the midst of all the darkness.
God, have mercy on us all.

"That they are unhappy shows that power not only corrupts but it never is satisfying."
Astute observation. I wish I had made it.

Yep, follow your heart….it’ll never steer you wrong…..who knew it can be a curse….
Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another. Romans 1:24
DQ had a “full meal deal” back in the 80s, which came with a sundae. It was definitely a full meal deal.
Heath Bar Blizzard! No contest!!
Quite an enjoyable Wednesday morning read.
