As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over.  And yes there will be a Friday edition too.

Let the mayhem, mockery, and ridicule resume:

Reminds me of this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where are the DADS?  More:

A group of middle school girls in West Virginia protested the fact that a biological male was allowed into their coemption.
In response, the board of education banned them from ever taking part in the competition again.

 

 

MHO of course.  Board, tar, feathers.  Some assembly required.

 

 

 

People DO NOT WANT to see the dark side of reality.

 

 

Many in my circles are exactly that.

 

 

No amnesty.

 

 

 

I’m still leery of Vivek in general, but that’s a great point!

 

 

 

 

 

Are Guns the Problem? – Walter E. Williams (walterewilliams.com)

I am very honored to have his picture, autographed to me, framed and on my wall at home.  And, parenthetically, years ago I saw a correlation between the introduction of TVs widely in society and an uptick in violence.  It wasn’t the programming per se; it was the mere fact of the “idiot box” in a majority of homes.  And while correlation does not equal causation, the data looked compelling nonetheless.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A lot of people have no problem with panels 1-3; they somehow believe that being appointed or elected or hired into governmental jobs somehow erases human weaknesses.  Same with having a MD or PhD after your name… suddenly they become transformed into beings made from finer, more noble clay.

 

 

 

 

Wow!

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA

 

 

I misplaced the text that goes with this, but basically it’s a chart of what percent of males & females loved their first intimate partner (not sure what language that is).  Not only is it disturbing that the trend goes down… to the point where half the people are giving themselves physically to people they don’t love or that, at least in this latest data point instance, more women than men now don’t love their first partner, there are other implications:

The Myth of Sexual Experience

Why Sexually Inexperienced Dating Couples Actually Go On to Have Stronger Marriages

Why, it’s almost as though Hashem’s wisdom of being chaste until marriage, and faithful within a marriage, works best.  Hmmm.  Related:

 

 

Understand this: There is a push for more and more casual sex hookups – the “hookup” culture – because the more partners you have, the less distinct each one becomes.  I’m not saying that you, whether male or female, will forget individuals, but when early sexual life becomes a quest for the next one, the next thrill-of-the-new, then you get bored with the same-old, same-old.  Marriage and the ruts you can get into become tiresome.  And it sets up comparisons to prior partners.  On “performance”.  On fun, on height, on wealth, on various bodily attributes (male or female), on all sorts of things.

 

 

Stability, dull stability and sameness, create a burr to do something “fun” again in the minds who have had multiple partners, especially the thrilling casual encounters.  And thus, marriages fall apart.  Partners cheat, looking for that thrill of the new.  The term is monkey branching – always reaching to the next thing.  And not only marriages fall apart, but harm to the children ensues.  They see, with their own eyes and feel, without a mature brain’s ability to handle it, the dissolution of their family – the one thing they should be able to count on.  With the subsequent dissolution of a sense of stability and anchoring.

All deliberate.  A strong nuclear family is one of the foundational elements of Western civilization.  Of course it’s under attack.  Just as is having a posterity.  Consider, as a concluding thought, the tale of these two women:

 

 

Who, on their death bed, is going to look back and think they had a more fulfilling life?  And who, on that same death bed, will have more people there… and more people who care when they’ve passed?  Let alone, in ten years, people who still remember them?

Does The CIA Run America? | ZeroHedge

All credit to my brilliant father who speculated along these lines at the time. I was very young with only the vaguest clue about what was happening. But I recall very well that he was convinced that Richard Nixon was set up in a trap and unfairly hounded out of office not for the bad things he was doing but for standing up to the Deep State.

If my own father, not a particularly political person, knew this for certain at the time, this must have been a strong perception even then.

You hear the rap that these agencies—the CIA is one but there are many adjacent others—are not allowed by law to intervene in domestic politics. At this point and after so much experience, this comes across to me like something of a joke. We know from vast evidence and personal testimony that the CIA has been manipulating political figures, narratives, and outcomes for a very long time.

Frank Herbert, author of DUNE (one of the top five sci-fi books I’ve ever read), said:

“Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, absolute power attracts the corruptible.”

Kids, who were at a functionally-zero risk of fatality from Covid, were injected with something with substantially more risk – not just to hearts, but potentially fertility, plus myriad other possible adverse reactions.  Not to mention the incorporation of the mRNA gene sequence into their reproductive DNA.

It’s not “just” a job.  It’s not “just” following orders.  In many – most – instances, it’s a chance to be bad while being told you’re good:

 

 

This is, IMHO, an incredible insight into human nature.

 

 

 

 

 

Yet another seemingly-accurate prophecy of when the end is near.  From another culture.

 

 

 

But… but… but the Great Replacement is a myth.  Our intellectual and moral superiors have assured us so.

 

 

 

No.  Only with Israel, because everyone understands all these other places have zero care about what “the world” thinks.

 

 

 

 

Two things.  First, when in the history of America has it been proposed to forbid questioning the official story on anything?  And second, do these geniuses at the ADL and AIPAC not grasp that most people, including myself alas, will question the motivation… and, parenthetically wonder at Jews-behind-everything in that?  Jewicidal Yidiots.

 

 

 

 

Here we go again.

Do I believe this?  Sadly, yes.  And if I were nabbed by that, I’d tell everyone I could about that restaurant’s deed.  But more broadly, this is an indictment on the general ethics and character of our society, that someone thinks this is a good idea to do.  Apparently enough someones that it’s a noticed.

CARTOON: We Trusted the Science – Granite Grok

The post Meme Overflow appeared first on Granite Grok.

Howard Johnson’s used to boast over thirty flavors of ice cream. It was great to have so many choices, but sometimes, you simply want a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I went through a period when all my cars were white. It was not a social statement. I love the clean look of a white car. I now drive a beautiful chocolate brown Jeep.

The color is not a statement, just a choice. Choices are wonderful, as is diversity, but only when organic. Would it have been any better for society if the government had forced Howard Johnson to have 35 flavors instead of 31? Absolutely not. Forced diversity is a subliminal form of racism and is harming the quality of American life.

When choices are limited by the boxes that need to be checked, then you do not get the best option for the situation. If you focus on politics, limiting the pool to a Black woman did not give us the best person for Vice President or Supreme Court justice. The choice satisfied certain voting groups, like Blacks and women, but shortchanged America by not putting the best person in place. This also happened at the state level when Gavenor Newsom used the same thinking to replace the late Senator Barbara Feinstein. Biden brags about his most diverse cabinet in history, but he does not discuss it being the least effective either. The administration’s focus on diversity and abortion has taken its eyes off the target issues like the border, economy, inflation, Fentanyl, and trade issues.

Our military effectiveness has declined as the WOKE culture infects all branches. The surrender of Afghanistan was an example. The military is more concerned about access to abortion and gender reassignment services than recruiting. We have not hit recruiting targets under Biden’s term, and people say it is because of the weak attitude of our Defense Department.

Colleges across the country are feeling the impact of “peaceful” demonstrations, which are a result of WOKE DEI thinking amongst indoctrinated students. These students have been told for 15-16 years how evil and destructive America is, and they are all feeling hatred and antisemitism. This environment is not sustainable, and Presidents are reaching out to the leadership, police, and the FBI to intervene. The institutions show their weakness by negotiating with protestors who have violated school policy by setting up encampments instead of taking charge and shutting them down.

The attention the WOKE is getting is all negative and is resulting in the slow, eventual death of Woke and DEI. Just like BLM was shown to be a sham and a Ponzi scheme, DEI has been exposed as a progressive attempt to reshape our culture and future direction, and it failed. These movements attempted to use the Millenials and Gen-Z groups that people recognized as young morons who were allowing themselves to be used as pawns by progressive operatives like George Soros.

DEI needs to die and should have sooner than this. It aimed to feature groups that wanted recognition when they should have earned it with merit. To isolate groups and elevate them above others is racism. Black History Month, Gay Pride Month, and Women’s History are all efforts to isolate and recognize one group over all others. How is this allowed when people are seeking equity and equality? How about we get back to celebrating humanity as a whole and let Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion happen organically?

It was inevitable. My yard is still damp with March and April showers (and muddy in places), and the Fire department says the Fire Danger is High. Okay. We’ve also got reports of wildfires in Canada (are the arsonists starting early this year?), and me with my mud season decorations still up. What the heck!

Meanwhile, in Maine, a bit closer to where I sit than British Columbia, they are also reporting dryconditions and some brush fires. “Authorities have been fighting several small wildfires and brush fires around the state Saturday.”

If you look at this wildfire map, there are zero in New Hampshire or Maine.

 

If you look at the ARC GIS Map, there are reported fires (all from 4/27).

 

 

There are three in New Hampshire and three in Maine (it helps to have good tools), though I can’t say what the difference is or why Map One isn’t showing these events. I zoomed down on both to get them to show up. But we all have a similar problem.

While we didn’t have much snow, we did have a lot of rain so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. The winter before last, the West and Left Coast got a lot of snow and rain. That tends to result in an increase in wild grass (as it does here), which is a fuel that lends itself to a potentially crazy wildfire season, but not last year. 2023 saw fewer acres burned in this century. The Wild West and crazy Left Coast didn’t burn as predicted. I blame Global Warming.

Fewer than 3 million acres cooked.

I can’t say with any certainty that people just behaved themself and listened to Smokey the Bear. Maybe the climate cult nutters were all up in Canada last year? They had a lot of arsonists starting fires north of the 49th parallel, much like Australia a few years back. Pro Tip: If the media is hyper-focused on some country and its unusual number of wildfires, human beings are very likely the reason why they started.

Climate nutters engaged in “real action,” starting fires and blaming it on Global Warming. So yeah, it is man-caused, but not because you drive an SUV.

I have to go take my mud season decorations down, even though it is raining and still muddy.

Here is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis telling the Biden-Regime to pound sand in response to the Regime’s redefining Title 9 … which is supposed to protect girls and women … to accommodate men and boys who identify as girls and women: FLORIDA WILL NOT COMPLY.

But don’t hold your breath waiting for Chris Sun-King Sununu or his underling Sununicans, i.e. Imposter-Republicans, to say something similar.

Sununu-Republicans, AT BEST, pay lip service to the rights of female athletes … while they make common cause with the DemocratsWoke-Communists to turn New Hampshire into a sea of shanty-towns (ADUs) and apartment complexes, where single-family zoning is illegal. Ask them about it, and what you will hear in response is the usual pablum about EFAs and Parental-Bill-Of-Rights, neither of which will do a damn thing about protecting girls’ and women’s sports.
