Respect for Liberals

I think I may have just realized something. Considering the trans issue, the Russia collusion issue concerning Trump, the never-ending attacks by mainstream media on Donald Trump's presidency, the false claims about not just Covid-19 but the "safe and effective" vaccines, claims that concerned parents at school board meetings are "domestic terrorists", the global warming hoax, fuel shortages under the Biden administration, the senseless but predictable (should have happened in 2017 under the Clinton administration that Trump defeated) Ukraine/Russia war, ignorance of God, Biden administration inflation being blamed on Republicans, all the leftist lies to Congress and all the Biden administration stonewalling, media collusion with the left's socialism and Marxism, and on and on the list goes, I don't believe I will ever again be able to respect anybody who is a liberal. That includes any liberal family members. Liberalism is ignorance and I want nothing to do with it, ever again.

Banned on Truth Social?

Not me. I'm not banned on Truth Social. I'm not even on Truth Social. I checked to see what was involved to join once or twice but it only seemed to be open to iPhone owners and I wasn't one. I'm still not.

But Truth Social is a "free speech" platform so what's the deal with this?

China Uncensored BANNED from Truth Social!

Truth Social, by the way, was Trump's free speech alternative after Twitter banned him.

China Uncensored is my favorite "speak truth to power" YouTube channel when it comes to China.

One giant black mark against the Trump phenomenon - illusion? - if you ask me.

Take Refuge from Republicans in Maine!

Here's what it looks like these days to say you live in Maine:

Maine Lawmakers Back Bill To Allow 16-Year-Olds To Receive Gender Hormone Therapy Without Parental Consent

This article also refers to LD 1735 which is a proposed bill which basically allows Maine judges to kidnap children of any age from states banning trans treatment for kids when those kids don't have parental consent.

The kidnap bill.

I know, I know. That's so stupid I must be lying. Maine Democrats are nothing if they aren't stupid. It's a sad state of affairs here in the Pine Tree State.

Maine people are good people but Maine Democrats are evil to the core.

Left Wing Narcissism

It's always rewarding to finally see something that you have grown to understand as true finally come out in print:

Left-Wing Extremism Tied To Psychopathy And Narcissism, Study Finds

"Dark-ego-vehicle principal" 

That's mind bending.

But narcissism? Nobody seems to understand what narcissism is but yeah, that term fits. All these dominant do-it-my-way-or-else no matter how much harm it causes leftists? Pure narcissism.

"American"

I want to settle this "American" thing once and for all.

Some people living in North America, Central America, or even South America but especially in Canada claim that people living in the United States aren't the only ones who can rightfully call themselves "Americans".

I live in the United States of America and I am an American for no other reason than that there's no other name on the planet that I can call myself.

If you live in Canada, you are Canadian.

If you live in Mexico, you are Mexican.

If you live in Brazil, you are Brazilian.

If you live in Nicaragua, you are Nicaraguan.

Etc.

But if you live in the United States of America, you aren't a Unitedian or a Staesian or a United Statesian, you are American.

Canadians, you had your chance. Back when the new empire was being established you retards insisted on being loyal to the crown rather than joining the United States of America. You have no claim to the name "American".

Sorry.

The Way Maine Shouldn't Be

It seems to me that I always attributed the phrase "Maine, the way life should be" to Maine's former governor Angus King for some reason. It appears I was wrong after reading this tidbit of Maine history:

‘Maine: The way life should be’

Here is Maine's former governor and current junior senator after cooking his brain in Washington DC for too many years:

Trumpophobia anyone?

Trans Lives Matter

I attended an outdoor event at the capitol in Augusta the other day and a guy came along with a hand-drawn protest sign reading "Trans Lives Matter", and it's been on my mind ever since.

You can even wear your own copy from Amazon: Trans Lives Matter

Then this weekend along came the video of Nebraska Senator Machaela Cavanaugh's rant. Have you seen it? I almost think this news tidbit is being scrubbed from Internet search results, but it trended over the weekend. You have to see this! Brace yourself:

WATCH: Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh chants on floor of Legislature for more than two minutes

If it is being scrubbed it could be because even RT featured a headline about it in their World News online feed yesterday. This performance was an actual for real American disgrace.

Years ago, this kind of rant is what I would have called a conniption fit. Children used to do it to their parents when they couldn't get their way. Parents used to discipline children for acting this way. Children who weren't disciplined about this were almost guaranteed to grow up to become narcissists. These days parents aren't allowed to discipline children so people like this senator are the norm, not the exception.

But anyway, back to my original topic...

Trans Lives Matter...

What does that slogan mean? The term Black Lives Matter from which this term was appropriated alludes to the victimhood of Blacks (African Americans) who feel intimidated (rightly so) by racist police officers with guns or other lethal means. Black people have died at the hands of white police and people just think, oh they're Black. They deserve it. Blacks are dangerous. So we ignore the deaths and the white racism behind them. The concern of Blacks is understandable for a reasoning mind. The deaths are real.

So, where the term Black Lives Matter refers to death, how does that relate to the Trans Lives Matter appropriation? That must refer to death also, right? But how? Who kills "trans" people?

Right?

Who kills trans people?

The answer is trans people kill trans people. Cops don't. Most straight people don't. And trans people generally don't kill other trans people. Trans people kill themselves. It's suicide that's the danger.

So when you see the slogan "Trans Lives Matter", just realize it's suicide that the slogan refers to.

People who want to become trans but aren't allowed to sometimes commit suicide. So, from a narcissistic perspective the blame, the guilt, belongs to the person or people who oppose the brutality of resolving gender dysphoria by going "transgender".

And don't go expecting me to ignore the fact that gender transitioning is brutality. It is. It's self-inflicted brutality. So is suicide.

So somehow in our modern narcissistic society it's normal for someone to threaten suicide if they aren't allowed to go trans and the suicide isn't their fault. It's someone else's fault. So, hey, let them go trans, right? Save their lives or else, right? "Trans people belong here. We need trans people. We love trans people" right? Don't let them die, right?

If only it were that simple...

For some reason the threat of suicide isn't resolved when gender dysphoric people are satisfied by transitioning their gender. Somehow victimhood continues and it's not their fault. It's everyone else's fault unless that someone else thoroughly embraces the trans movement. People who embrace the brutality of transitioning aren't to blame for trans suicides. Everyone else is.

Tulsi Gabbard - Is She Halfway There Yet?

I've been watching Tulsi Gabbard for years, ever since 2016 actually when she dedicated herself to Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. I always imagined that she had a lot of unrecognized potential. But she dedicated herself to Trumpophobia for some reason and lost my respect.

The problem as I see it is that Tulsi comes closer than anybody else in politics to advocating for the policies that Trump supporters believed Trump represented but she simply seems to hate Donald Trump. It's as though she has a racist bias against him, that she, as a colored person herself sees Trump as something like "The Last Great White Hope" but is terrified about confessing it.

Her Trumpophobia peaked during the 2020 presidential campaign when she ran in the Democrat primaries against him and she betrayed America when she successfully endorsed the Biden/Harris ticket.

She has come to regret her endorsement but to this day she can't admit Trump as an ally. However, she is rapidly gaining the reputation as someone who speaks truth to power. Despite this, it is my own opinion that she has only come part way. She's still not there. She still pulls her punches and I can't understand why.

But I just finished listening to the best interview with Tulsi that I have ever seen. It's current and covers more of her views than I have seen up until now. It is inspiring. But I still see Tulsi as a queen of virtue signaling, a central feature of her 2020 campaign. In other words, she has a way to go before I can trust her. But she's making progress. She's growing, maturing, faster than most.

This is a two-hour-plus interview:

Virtue Signaling - Again

Update May 21, 2023

This YouTube video just came to my attention, and it is a truth bomb featuring Tulsi Gabbard. Highly recommended. Take the time to watch this whole interview. It gets more and more intense, especially at the 15:00 point, "The Woke Rating".

"Democrats Don't Speak Out About This!" - How ESG Is Destroying American Corporate Culture

Original Post:

I've written about "virtue signaling" in the past. If I speak about it in public almost nobody knows what I'm referring to, which seems odd to me. Everywhere I look somebody is virtue signaling so why are people not aware of what it is?

Nobody knows this, apparently, but when somebody virtue signals what they are actually doing is saying that if you disagree with them, you are not a virtuous person. Virtue signaling is an insult in disguise. These days you see that tactic everywhere you look. Back in the old days the people who used this tactic the most, at least here in the US where I live, were Christians and the more conservative those Christians were, the more they signaled that if you disagreed with their beliefs, you were a bad person or you had lower moral values than theirs or that you were evil.

Somewhere along the way the "liberals" learned the technique and now it is liberals who make you feel that if you agree with them, you are virtuous but if you don't, you are of low worth and need to come around to their perspective if you want people to find you worthy.

The danger of this kind of virtue signaling is that it can be used to force people to support bad or even dangerous choices. There is no better example of this than the current "trans" movement where if you don't agree that children should mutilate themselves with breast removal surgery or the surgical removal of male genitals or the mutilation of female genitals, then you are a hate-filled and worthless person. There is no virtue in mutilating children's bodies but if you disagree with the "need" for such surgery and say so, you are expressing hate.

So I have come to realize what virtue signaling actually is:

Virtual signaling is the polar opposite of critical thinking.

Always criticize virtue.

Or in other words, never fall for fake virtue. Don't be a fool. Always question. Always resist.

Is Virtue Signaling Vicious?

Democrat ridiculed for ‘unhinged’ transgender rant

The Pied Piper

This probably seems silly but I keep thinking about the story of the Pied Piper who was contracted to rid a German town of its rats using his magically alluring flutophone (my own childhood being reflected here since I still remember our whole class being taught the flutophone at about the same time as we were informed of the Pied Piper) but when the town went back on its word to reward him fairly for his services he used that same pipe to lure the children away never to be seen again.

So the thing that bothers me is what became of the kids? The piper lured them away from their source of food and shelter, not to mention love, yet nobody knows if he had the means to support the kids himself. Did he sell them into slavery? I mean, for all we know he might have offered them to the brother of Jack and the Bean Stock's giant to be eaten! We don't know!

The moral of the story is never trust strangers or people with financial interests with your kids. They might, behind your backs, convince your kids to change gender.

Well That's Settled, Probably

There have been stories floating around the Internet reporting that a secret underground bunker in western Ukraine 300 feet (100 meters) underground had been struck and destroyed in March by hypersonic missiles killing many NATO "advisors" working to coordinate the war.

Here's the more likely story:

Did a Russian Missile Strike Kill 200 NATO Officers in a Ukrainian Bunker?

All just wishful thinking I suppose.

Maine - The Way Life Shouldn't Be

Back when Angus King was governor of Maine he came out with the saying, "Maine, the way life should be." We tried sticking with that but now under Governor Janet Mills, Maine is becoming a place where living beings just shouldn't be. The time to leave, with Maine in the hands of woke ultra-liberal Democrats, is turning into a nightmare.

I have friends who will gladly tell you that this article is true concerning a hearing about a bill that will transform Maine's abortion laws despite the governor's promise not to do so in her campaign last year:

Auburn Rep Blasts “Discriminatory” Moves Against Pro-Lifers

This Friday there is a hearing scheduled in Augusta discussing a proposal, LD 1735, which, word has it, would establish the state of Maine as a sanctuary state for underage transsexual treatment and surgery welcoming underage kids even without the consent of their parents to come to Maine for their treatments. There are concerns that this would open the door for the sex trafficking of children in Maine.

LD 1735

Apparently, this bill would allow and invite authorities throughout the nation to take children from their parents with or without parental consent, transport them to Maine, and have Maine "healthcare" providers perform transgender "care", something we here in Maine are apparently already doing for our own citizenry under the infinitely wise Democrat Maine government.

So you want to escape the insanity of blue states? Well, forget Maine. You won't be happy here.

If You Are Jewish, Skip This

If you are Jewish, or for that matter if you are a Christian Zionist, you should probably avoid reading this article:

Chomsky's Ties to Jeffrey Epstein—and Suspected 9/11 Mastermind Ehud Barak—Exposed

I think it was back in the Bush years after 9/11 that I read a Chomsky book about how the US had built nearly 200 military bases overseas to encircle and contain Russia and China and I started thinking hey, this guy is onto something, criticizing the empire that way. Then he just seemed to fade back into leftist oblivion. Nobody cared.

But now, how am I supposed to think about this leftist puritan icon after reading this?

Trust Us

Donald Trump during his presidency constantly reminded us that he considered mainstream media to be "fake news", remember? If you suffered from trumpophobia, maybe you don't. But I do.

It seems to me that the mainstream broadcasting and cable media as well as nearly all print media has spent the past two decades working overtime to convince the public that it's the consensus that matters, not the actual truth. That concept is, by the way, not only Orwellian, but Marxist.

I keep wondering why Americans keep clinging to the notion that if mainstream media presents a consensus, it must be true. How can people stay so blind?

Well, now there's some evidence that Americans are coming around:

Three out of five Americans say corporate media to blame for spreading misinformation

Covid - How Political Can It Be?

Why would the political affiliation of judges determine whether patients live or die?

I was watching this video kind of in the background while washing dishes this morning and something came up that just astounded me.

The entire video is worth watching but basically a Texas doctor ran into politics when treating patients with Ivermectin. But go to the 44:45 minute point and listen to the conversation about judges:

Biden Laptop Report Interview

Last Saturday I had the honor of attending a presentation introducing the book Report on the Biden Laptop by a group called Marco Polo. Tuesday evening I saw Garette again standing behind the lawyer for the mom of Hunter's love child on a Fox News clip and again yesterday I saw him interviewed on Infowars.

He provided me with a signed copy of his book.

Have a look at this new story. Garette is free to speak in this interview on Debbie Georgatos America Can We Talk:

Some Pretty Significant Stuff - Bella Dodd

This just might explain it:

Bella Dodd – The “New World Order” is Communism

Here's her full book online:

School of Darkness

Brace yourself.

Because of the Pandemic, the Pandemic, the Pandemic, the Pandemic...

Something strange is going on. Maybe you've noticed.

Everything is being blamed on the pandemic.

I was just reading about a new State of Maine Department of Education grant to the tune of $9,000,000.00 (that's 9 million dollars) to help nine "school administrative units" here in Maine fund "school-based mental health staff and services", since those school units are currently underserviced in that regard.

MEDIA RELEASE: Maine DOE Invests $9 Million to Increase School-Based Mental Health Staff and Services

So why is there suddenly such a great need for these mental health professionals in our schools? Why of course, because of the pandemic! Why else? I mean, it couldn't possibly be related to all the gender confusion our schools are promoting, right? Of course not! It's the pandemic, don't you see? Kids are resilient, you know. Gender confusion isn't causing mental health problems. Trust us, they all say, so they hire medical professionals who, unlike educators, are under no obligation to notify the parents of their children's medical needs.

Then there's the election 2020 thing, the sudden need for mail-in ballots that, according to many experts, open up severe risk for voter fraud. But it was necessary, they told us, "because of the pandemic".

Keep an eye open for this new scapegoat. You need to undermine something? Go right ahead. Just remember to remind everybody that it's because of the pandemic, the pandemic, the pandemic...

Tucker Warning Stitched

This is a video I first came across last week but didn't pass on to my blog readers. I found it strangely haunting, like the total message is larger than the sum of its parts. The video stitches messages Tucker Carlson delivered with many seemingly unrelated video clips causing me to delve into my memory banks to recall what those images represented. Haunting and memorable is how I would describe it.
