Points of Ponderation…..Episode 3.23

There might be more vile people on Earth, but Oprah Winfrey & Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have to atleast be in the conversation. They embody everything I despise about out of touch celebrity types, trying desperately to portray a kind & generous image that masks an elitist mindset while looking down on the fans who put them on an undeserved pedestal. If you’re under the impression that they recently contributed $10 million to relief efforts in Maui you might want to do a little more research. Satan’s Favorite Talk Show Host, who is worth around $3 BILLION, and the former WWE Champion who has starred in a few reasonably entertaining movies and has a net worth of just under a billion dollars, seem to have pulled the wool over many peoples’ eyes. While either/or could have simply written a check that’d rebuild Hawaii’s second largest island after devastating wildfires, they instead “pledged” money that they expect YOU to donate that they will then contribute in THEIR name, basking in all the positive press & social media pats on the back in the process. It’s a sinful shell game, and they should be ashamed of themselves.

So apparently “time blindness” is a thing now. I weep for our society 😂.

Christopher Gadsden was a delegate to the Continental Congress during the American Revolution. He was a brigadier general in the army & served as Lt. Governor of South Carolina from 1780-82. In 1775 he designed what became known as the Gadsden Flag, with a snake & the words “Don’t Tread on Me” prominently featured. The flag was created as a sign of unity amongst the 13 colonies, as a warning to Great Britain not to mess with American freedom. In recent years it has become popular amongst conservatives, representing wariness of corrupt big government. Not long ago a 12 year old Colorado boy got in trouble at school when ignorant leftist “educators” saw a Gadsden flag symbol on his backpack and tried to say it “had origins in slavery”. Fortunately the kid is not a fool & neither are his parents. The school board was actually forced to apologize, which is glorious. I used to have so much respect for teachers, and still do for the most part. However, it is clear that public schools nationwide have been infiltrated by “progressive” types whose job of teaching math, science, social studies, history, English, et al oftentimes takes a back seat to their mission of advocating for “social justice” and indoctrinating the next generation of faithful little Marxists. Too many of these “teachers” don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground and rely on children & parents to simply accept propaganda disguised as scholarship. One of my favorite high school teachers used to say “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them”. Perhaps that should be amended to “Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to be lied to by self-righteous morons masquerading as responsible adults”.

It never hurts to have a refresher:

I understand mental illness and feel empathy for those that suffer any form of it. However, what I don’t get is people who are seemingly proud of their…situation…and expect everyone else to just overlook it, or worse, indulge their behavior. What I observe is people who use their affliction as an excuse for rudeness, lack of respect, and thoughtlessness. They have nothing but contempt for normalcy and seemingly go out of their way to embrace chaos. It’s not that they don’t know that there’s something awry. On the contrary…they are well aware of their issues, but instead of doing the work to get better they demand the rest of us lower the bar. Sorry, but that’s not how I roll.

If you want people to even think about taking you seriously when you “identify” as a woman then maybe you ought to consider shaving off that beard 🧔🏻.

Upon the tragic death of pro wrestler Windham Rotunda (aka Bray Wyatt), social media reposted this little ditty that he’d written awhile back. I’ve been a wrestling fan since I was ten years old, and my Dad always used to tease me, saying “Son, that stuff is gonna disease your damn mind!!”. Wrestling has experienced a few boom periods in my lifetime, and stars like Hulk Hogan, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, & John Cena achieved a certain level of mainstream popularity & success. However, it’s always been a challenge to explain the appeal of “sports entertainment” to those not familiar, outside of appropriately describing it as a “male soap opera”. After reading Rotunda’s words I finally feel understood. Godspeed to the young man’s family, especially his four children.
