Observations From the Back Row

Life is about patterns and circles. Patterns of behavior, and the social circles prompting that behavior.

Powerline is one of the web sites that's in my daily search pattern, and they have a weekly feature called The Week In Pictures.  For some reason most of those pictures can't be reproduced here at P&D..... so.... as in the past I created an article that uses those pictures as the basis for a bit of commentary, mostly snarky commentary.   So, let's started.

Whoopie Goldberg once said Dr. Jill Biden should be the Surgeon General as she's a great doctor. Her degree is in education. She once said Pete Hegseth was totally unqualified to be the Secretary of Defense because he knew nothing about the military. Of course Whoopi's a military expertise comes from her years playing a bartender on Star Trek Next Generation. Oh, wait, that was fiction. So, her vast experience in fiction supersedes his distinguished military career? Did I get that right? I didn't miss anything did I? Do we see a pattern here? Is it any wonder Donald Trump has buildings named after him, and Whoopi has a cushion that makes noise. 

Mamdani thinks New York City would do well to embrace the warmth of socialism. Why? Because he loves how Castro redecorated Havana, and is sure New York City could easily be transformed by embracing the warmth of socialism.  He's not one to just sit around and do nothing.  He's already started that process with a homeless camp that stretches 12 city blocks, with the homeless stealing the cities power.  What could possible go wrong?  

A recent far left protestor was interviewed who is white, college educated, comes from a privileged back ground and is sick and tired of the way America is run. She's filled with depression and anxiety, confused about her gender, unemployed because she earned a worthless degree in gender studies, as in serious debt for her student loans, dyes her hair blue, and while being a vegan she has no impulse control and is grossly overweight, with tattoos over her whole body.

Why is she protesting? Because she has all the answers that will fix the country.  A disgusting nation which is a racist, homophobic, misogynist, xenophobic, Islamophobic hole that should be required to pay off her student loans. She knows deodorants are a big con, stupid decisions by the young aren't irrational, it's growth. She's sick and tired of all this talk about "what is a woman", and believes Dr. Rachel Levine, Sarah McBride and Ashley Webb should be empaneled to answer that question and end this issue with Dylan Mulvaney as the moderator.  And academia debates why the birth rates are dropping?  She promptly ended her protest by leaving in an offended huff when she was offered a job application. 

The theme for leftists has always been it's the educated elite who should be deciding how the world should be governed. As it turns out Harvard's class of 2026 has a substantial number of those claiming to be suffering from mental illness; a disturbing 47%, with another 13% who weren't sure if they were nuts of not. However, there's a bright note here.  Harvard's students had lower rates of "depression, anxiety, had less suicidal tendencies compared to national averages for college campuses."  So, let me see if I understand that correctly.  A substantial number of Harvard's students are nuts but not as nuts as the rest of the nation's students in academia?  So, let's get some clarity here.  These are the people who the left wants to anoint as the nation's future leaders?  Did I get that right? One more thought.  A substantial number of homosexual academics march in support of Islam.  Could that be considered mental illness?  

There are three things that all geopolitics are predicated on.  Geographics, demographics, and economics.  Europe is failing in all three, especially demographics.   Soon the Leaning Tower of Pisa will be turned into a minaret, the Mona Lisa will have to be repainted with a face veil and head scarf, and Big Ben will be renamed Big Bin Laden. 

Some time back I went out on Lake Erie fishing with my cousin on his boat, and he noted most of not all the boat owners at his marina were Trump supporters.  I found that interesting, but actually the answer is really simple.  There's no government program that gives boats away.

Recently a young boy told his mother when he grew up to be a man he wanted to be a Democrat. His mother told him he could be one or the other.
