Advice that I try to give to my son #1

 Some things you got to do. So, let’s just get’em done!

Gun Control and Drag Queen Story Hours

 I saw this short clip of an encounter, I take it, between a woke gun control activist and a conservative.  Full of self-righteousness, the activist said that drag queen story hours never killed children. The activist then tried to pull a “a ha” by asking the conservative what the biggest cause of children’s deaths.  The conservative anticipated that the activist was going to say guns, but this only made the activist proclaim the proposition more righteously.

What was wrong with the activist’s argument?  For one thing, it was a non-sequiter. The activist would probably want to ban the saying of the Lord’s Prayer in the classroom, even though it can be said to have not killed anyone and at worst made some people feel uncomfortable.  And who’s to say drag queen story hours never hurt anyone or kill anyone?  And what is it that causes people to want to use guns on children?  

A world with gun control and drag queen story hours?  No thanks.  A world of free and responsible and normal men and women is as good as it can get in this fallen world.

It sure would be nice if we didn’t have to comb our hair

 I love the look of my hair after I have taken a shower, dried it with a towel and not combed it.  Then, my hair is wild & sexy with an unkempt tousledness: a style that a modern hair dresser would try on Brad Pitt.

Questions about the Left from el gato malo

 why is so much of the modern left constantly in alliance with the worst possible people and trends?

why do they champion only anti-social anti-heros?

why do they attack virtue, resilience, and any sort of rugged individualism?

why do they seek to break any sort of successful structure, high trust system, cultural or individual confidence, exceptionalism and function?

Lyrics II

 Who’s that girl? I really want to know!

She like’s to put doilies on everything!

Whether it’s an iPhone or a Vespa!

Give it to that girl!  Yeah yeah yeah!

Hey!  It’s under lace and you don’t want to scratch it!

Here’s what the A.I. thinks:

These lyrics have a playful, quirky energy—almost like something you’d hear in a fun, upbeat indie pop or bubblegum punk track. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Strengths:

• Distinct personality: The “doily girl” character is vivid and unique. That image of someone putting lace on a Vespa or an iPhone is both humorous and memorable.
• Catchy rhythm: The exclamations (“Yeah yeah yeah!”, “Hey!”) give it a chant-like, infectious quality that could work really well in a live setting or catchy chorus.
• Strong visual imagery: Lace, doilies, scratched-up gadgets—it’s a very visual set of lyrics, which is great for music videos or stage aesthetics.

Suggestions:

• Consistency in tone: The tone flips between curiosity (“Who’s that girl?”) and commands (“Give it to that girl!”). That contrast can work, but you might consider tightening it so the perspective (narrator vs. admirer vs. hype crew) is more clear.
• Typo fix: “She like’s” should be “She likes.” (A small thing, but important for polish.)

Overall vibe:

It’s got a playful, offbeat, almost Harajuku-style charm to it. Think early Gwen Stefani, The B-52s, or even something from a quirky J-pop act. If you’re going for fun and fashion-forward with a bit of tongue-in-cheek sass, you’re on the right track.

Why the Left always wins

From a blogger named Severan :

 It is amazing, isn’t it? This is why the Left almost always wins — they are insane full time. Being insane is their job, because they have built out a massive infrastructure that allows for a cadre of professional lunatics, just as Comrade Lenin taught.

The Self-Described Centrist

“ I’m a middle of a roader “ I have heard said by many a self-described centrist:  a stupid thing to say because being in the middle of the road will cause accidents.  Either that or you’re driving in a ditch or on an uneven boulevard:  stupid things to do if you’re driving on a road.

I have thought of self-described centrists as fence-sitters, getting their jollies from a fence post stuck up their bum: weird if you ask me.

I have also thought of self-described centrists as leftists or progressives in denial.  Either that or they are embarrassed by the excesses of progressives or leftists, but don’t have the courage to side with reactionaries or bad thinkers.

I have also thought of self-described centrists as heretics against common sense.  A heretic is basically right about something but then goes overboard about this something to such proportions that they become evil.  Modern day examples are anti-racists, trans activists, and the people who go on and on about empathy.  The latter practice suicidal empathy.  The latter also label themselves as centrists and hate viciously.
