The Ravings of a Kindly Old Man with a Poor Memory

Editor's Note:  This appeared here at American thinker.  I've not asked for, nor have I received permission to publish this piece, but it is so outstanding I think it needs the broadest possible distribution.  If America Thinker or the author object, I will break it down to a link. RK

Joe Biden, long before he was, ahem, installed as president, pilfered and retained highly classified information in three different locations, one a presumably dust-and-spider-infested garage.

But Robert Hur, the kind of federal prosecutor we should all be so lucky as to encounter, found that Crusty Joe was much too likable and fried to ever prosecute or convict. So no charges for poor, old, senile, and likely incontinent, Sleepy Joe.

And that’s my defense for anyone triggered by my forthcoming political and social ramblings. I’m almost seventy-one, I rarely know what day it is, I worry about nothing save death and taxes (mostly death), I hit my head 1–4 times a night, yet for a former dentist, I’m fairly likable and unconventionally handsome.

So, please pretend that I, too, am as fried and blameless as our practically petrified puppet president. Because, should Funny Business, Inc. suddenly come a-knockin’, that will be my defense in court (hopefully not Judge Arthur or Juan’s court in the corrupt Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots).

So, tell me, when did it become O.K. for mentally-ill men to swing their Johnsons in a girls’ locker room? And for them to win medals and awards that should go to those of the fairer sex? And why did I labor so hard to be a serviceable b-ball player in NYC men’s leagues, when I could have simply grown my hair, stuffed my man-bra, shaved my legs, declared myself a woman and then dominated the WNBA? Hmmm?

And when did it become fashionable to hate white people, Jews, and Republicans? I thought hate was bad, and all you need is love. No?

And why does every single commercial I see, when I occasionally choose to lower my IQ by watching television, feature a host of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity hires? Were there simply no heterosexual white couples available in a majority Caucasian nation? Or were they intentionally excluded from representation?

And why on earth would you celebrate killing an unborn baby? Couples pray to be blessed with a baby, I know my wife and I did. People spend many thousands of dollars trying to bring life into this world, while others look the other way as butchers in white coats dismember the most vulnerable among us.

Do it if you must. But don’t call it reproductive health care, that’s grotesque.

And could our government be any more corrupt, inefficient, or wasteful? Don’t you trust your average sanitation worker, house painter, or Uber driver much more than the porcine clowns cozying up to the feeding trough in D.C.? And when our Uniparty talking heads flap their gums about how they’re trying to help, doesn’t it just make you sick? Your omniscient, albeit deeply flawed, narrator will be there to help you long before any of those political poseurs consider moving their ample posteriors on your behalf.

Speaking of big butts, what’s with the push to glamorize obesity? When did fat become fabulous? Who buys that nonsense?

I’ve been skinny, just right, kinda chubby, and a major lardbutt. And though I’m neither skinny nor a major lardbutt at present, less fat is clearly the way to go. Just ask the now almost-defunct Sports Illustrated Swimsuit staff. Or ask a physician you can trust.

Speaking of MDs you can trust, who’s apologizing for the terrible damage done by the governmental/public health response to COVID-19, a bug that wee Tony Fauci helped fund, and then tried to blame on a culture that consumes bats and pangolins? No one?

And who’s apologizing for a failed vaccine that neither stops the acquisition nor transmission of the disease, yet did and continues to do damage to an untold number of trusting souls across the world? What’s that, you say? No one?

And the Deep State/D.C. Swamp creatures who abused anyone questioning the absolute absurdity of closing schools, wearing mostly performative masks, ruining businesses and lives, standing a capricious 6-feet apart from your fellow man, and leaving the dying to expire all alone? Will they ever be taken to task for their knowing perfidy? (Hint: not on your life!)

And how about all those college students who probably don’t know what 11x11 equals, or can’t distinguish a gerund from a gonad, or who conflate Taylor Swift with Jonathan Swift, bravely standing up for the terrorists who raped, tortured, and killed thousands of Israelis on October 7th?

Could they be any more out of touch? Or spoiled? Or pathetic? Methinks not.

Speaking of pathetic, who among you believes anything the sad, servile mainstream media parrots? Do they not lie as easily as they breathe? Are they not completely predictable as to how they will deal with a given circumstance? Are they not foul creatures fully under the control of the D.C. swamp?

They are.

I see, read, or hear anything, in my diminished state (in case the FBI, the CIA, or Robert Hur is listening in), and I assume that it’s a lie, a falsehood, an obfuscation, or a misdirection. You should, too.

And who’s responsible for allowing anyone and anybody to simply waltz into our country, unknown, unvetted, and possibly undesirable? Do the folks permitting this allow just anyone to waltz into their towns, their country clubs, or their homes? No, silly! They only expect it of you.

And why do today’s movies absolutely suck? Why are we forced to choose between Aquaman V: The Ultimate Sashimi and Ghostbusters: Transgender Terminus? Are you not entertained? Can’t you come up with anything that hasn’t been done before?

And what’s with all those female starlets with fake breasts, faux lips, phony eyebrows, and counterfeit teeth? Could they be any less genuine?

And what’s with our so-called president, a sad, desiccated husk a mere decade older than moi? Should someone ten years older than me be in charge of anything? No.

Should someone with considerably less intellectual firepower than me be running the show? 

Of course not.

Should a guy who can barely walk, talk, read a teleprompter, or control his bowels, be steering the vaunted ship of state?

Of course not.

I may be old—which I hope whichever Democrat politician, district attorney, or judge who decides to come after me understands—but I’m not stupid.

We now live in a Bizarro World, where up is down, black is white, boys are girls, and right is wrong. Words are violence, violence is mostly peaceful protesting, silence is complicity, and you are the problem for noticing how wrong it all is.

Myself, I’m frankly not that upset.

For America truly was great for most of my life, my time on Earth is now short, and yet I know, at 71, exactly what 11x11 equals.

And for any libs, Feebs, or dweebs listening in to my diatribe, please know that I’m fairly old and can’t be trusted.

My legs are gray, my ears are gnarled, and my eyes are old and bent. 

But not as bent as you.

We Have Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself

By Rich Kozlovich

The headline is a quote from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to ease the minds of Americans during the Great Depression:   

So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is … fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days. 

That was in the midst of the Great Depression, which FDR and his minions created.  The goal of this speech was supposedly to create a positive national attitude, but in reality it was all misdirection, just like we're seeing right now with Joe Biden, the Democrats and their myrmidons in the media.  Unlike Biden, FDR was a great communicator, but as Harry Truman said of FDR, "The President lies".  In that, both Biden and FDR have excelled.  

FDR created the New Deal, which wasn't really new, and it certainly wasn't a deal.  It was a recapitulation of the fascist policies and government of Woodrow Wilson, called America's first fascist President, which plunged the nation into a ten year depression.  He created a massive framework of government agencies, all of which were infested with communists and Stalinist agents.  

Biden is claiming he wants to "build back better", and what he proposes isn't building or better. We actually have a lot more to fear than just fear itself, we really have reason to fear Federal Law Enforcement,' specifically DOJ, FBI.

• Bureaucrats authorized to pack heat now outnumber ... armed Marines!

Federal agencies have been militarized and weaponized.  One Senator asks why the EPA needs with 'mobile command post'.  The IRS serves its 'customers' by terrifying them, an excellent reason to eliminate the 16th Amendment.   Perhaps it's time to disarm the FBI as well.

These agencies and departments have been acting like powers unto themselves, a mentality which was enhanced by the Chevron Doctrine.   These agencies have become what can only be called treasonous and criminal. The government of the United States is now the premiere dividing force in America.  Forget Unity – Americans Name Government a ‘Dividing Force’ 

How many times has America heard President Joe Biden preach about unity and how his administration would ensure the country achieves this elusive goal? Likely too many to count, but the 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer released a new poll that shows not only are Republicans and Democrats even more divided than before, but also that the government is a “dividing force in society.”

  The study included opinions from 36,000 people in 28 different countries. Participants were asked about four main areas: government, media, business, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). When considering these sectors, respondents identified which they felt were “a dividing force” or a “unifying force” in society. Government, unsurprisingly, scored the worst, with 48% saying the institution is a “dividing force.” The media came in at a close second, with 46% of the same opinion. Meanwhile, business and NGOs had more people indicating these were a “unifying force in society,” with 45% for the former and 50% for the latter.

As you can see, NGO's and large corporate businesses, all of whom are indebted to government largess, support  the idea that government is "unifying".  We need to define "unifying".  The fact is governments, in order to impose tyranny, rule through division in order to create chaos, allowing them to create the "unity" they desire.  One that imposes tyrannous obedience.  

Call it "Diversity, Inclusion and Equity" (DIE), or "Corporate Social Responsibility" (CSR),Critical Race Theory (CRT),  "Environmental Social and Corporate Governance" (ESG), or anything other equally corrupt and decisive misnomer, in reality it's all about greed, power, and division, in order to "impose" their unity.   And make no mistake, in order for their schemes to come to fruition, they must be imposed because:

When you can’t persuade (because your ideas are dumb), this is the next-best thing....Rather than making the case that their ideas are better than their ideological and political opponents’, the Democrats (Marxists) are demonizing anyone who doesn’t bow to their woke......religion.  The demonization will continue.  Their attacks will soon move from rhetoric and cancellation to violence, for if their cause is just (in their minds), and their opponents are devils (or Nazis), then any means necessary in service of our defeat is justified. This is America’s new (woke) normal.  Buckle up.

And we have a lot more to fear than fear itself.  

Leaked NSA ‘Glossary’ Contains Hundreds of ‘Woke’ DEI and CRT Terms

CV News Feed on November 15, 2023

The Biden administration’s National Security Agency (NSA) compiled a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Glossary that contained 34 pages of far-left ideological words and phrases.  The NSA is an agency of the Department of Defense (DoD). 

“The following is a glossary of terms and language commonly used in dialogue regarding diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice to be used as a reference,” stated the government document, which was recently leaked following an investigation by The Daily Wire. 

“It is by no means a comprehensive list and, in every context, the meaning of these words may change and evolve,” the document continued. “This glossary and its definitions provide a starting point for engaging in open and honest conversation, and is a tool meant to build a shared language of understanding.”

Daily Wire field reporter Spencer Lindquist wrote that the list of more than 300 terms was “published internally on May 6th, 2022” by the NSA. He added that it was “never released publicly before” it was leaked. 

Linquist also observed that the glossary “explicitly endorses the tenets of Critical Race Theory [CRT] and Queer Theory” – two terms it also defines.

“The definition for ‘settler colonialism’ blames ‘white European occupations of land in what is now the United States,’ for leading to ‘oppressive governance’ and ‘white supremacy,’” Lindquist pointed out on X (formerly Twitter)...............To Read More....

 

Analysis: U.S. Universities Water Down Standards in the Name of ‘Diversity’

by Reagan Reese 

Higher education institutions have implemented diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to vet students and faculty rather than evaluating them on their merits.

Universities have included different DEI initiatives including axing standardized test requirements, mandating DEI statements in applications and curriculum requirements. The initiatives aim to raise diversity and social justice awareness, considering mainly the promotion of understanding and consciousness of DEI.

“It should be obvious that as universities become increasingly obsessed with diversity, inclusion and equity efforts, and devote more attention and resources to those efforts, they have reduced their attention, resources and focus on merit-based outcomes, traditional educational goals and academic competencies, and the equal treatment of all students and faculty regardless of their sex and race,” University of Michigan-Flint professor Mark Perry told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Universities can prioritize true academic excellence and true equality or they can prioritize diversity, inclusion and equity efforts, but they can’t prioritize both goals simultaneously, because to focus on diversity, inclusion and equity is to necessarily compromise academic quality and sacrifice the equal treatment of all individuals.”................To Read More....

Jordan Peterson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at the University of Toronto

The appalling ideology of diversity, inclusion and equity is demolishing education and business 

Jordan Peterson,  Special to National Post Jan 19, 2022812 Comments

I recently resigned from my position as full tenured professor at the University of Toronto. I am now professor emeritus, and before I turned sixty. Emeritus is generally a designation reserved for superannuated faculty, albeit those who had served their term with some distinction. I had envisioned teaching and researching at the U of T, full time, until they had to haul my skeleton out of my office. I loved my job. And my students, undergraduates and graduates alike, were positively predisposed toward me. But that career path was not meant to be. There were many reasons, including the fact that I can now teach many more people and with less interference online. But here’s a few more:

First, my qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students (and I’ve had many others, by the way) face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions, despite stellar scientific dossiers. This is partly because of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity mandates (my preferred acronym: DIE). These have been imposed universally in academia, despite the fact that university hiring committees had already done everything reasonable for all the years of my career, and then some, to ensure that no qualified “minority” candidates were ever overlooked. My students are also partly unacceptable precisely because they are my students. I am academic persona non grata, because of my unacceptable philosophical positions. And this isn’t just some inconvenience. These facts rendered my job morally untenable. How can I accept prospective researchers and train them in good conscience knowing their employment prospects to be minimal?

Second reason: This is one of many issues of appalling ideology currently demolishing the universities and, downstream, the general culture. Not least because there simply is not enough qualified BIPOC people in the pipeline to meet diversity targets quickly enough (BIPOC: black, indigenous and people of colour, for those of you not in the knowing woke). This has been common knowledge among any remotely truthful academic who has served on a hiring committee for the last three decades. This means we’re out to produce a generation of researchers utterly unqualified for the job. And we’ve seen what that means already in the horrible grievance studies “disciplines.” That, combined with the death of objective testing, has compromised the universities so badly that it can hardly be overstated. And what happens in the universities eventually colours everything. As we have discovered.

All my craven colleagues must craft DIE statements to obtain a research grant. They all lie (excepting the minority of true believers) and they teach their students to do the same. And they do it constantly, with various rationalizations and justifications, further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise. Some of my colleagues even allow themselves to undergo so-called anti-bias training, conducted by supremely unqualified Human Resources personnel, lecturing inanely and blithely and in an accusatory manner about theoretically all-pervasive racist/sexist/heterosexist attitudes. Such training is now often a precondition to occupy a faculty position on a hiring committee..........To Read More...
