Feel the Wind Blow??

After the election of DJT, many people have been noticing a vibe shift throughout the popular culture. Recently, Disney has decided not to push the transgender agenda; more corporations have retreated from the DEI agenda as they line up to talk to Trump. Bible sales are up about 22% in the last few months. Even young people are buying the Bible. 

 On the left-wing side of things, there haven’t been any riots led by BLM types. Also, 90% of liberals believe that the 2024 election was legitimate. 

Some say that we are beyond peak Wokeness. Think of anything in Wokeism that makes people even remotely happy. … Yeah. That’s what I thought. 

Being Woke is like watching Schindler’s List, Sophie’s Choice and the ending to Old Yeller twice a week and listening to the song Strange Fruit and a mix of Robert Johnson in your car everyday. No one can function with that kind of concentrated depression floating around in their head.

Suffering is an inevitable part of life. Maybe a necessary part. Suffering inspires artists, and it makes philosophers strive for Truth. But Wokeism is a kind of self-destructive despair. There’s no wholesome hug at the end of that pride rainbow. Wokeism is an empty despair that can’t build anything.

JHK Forecast 2025 — Taking Out the Trash

"I would guess that you’re feeling as if anything might happen now. It’s hard to rule out even the possibility that we could all be vaporized before moving onto the next mundane chore of the day. The world order is dangerously in flux. America’s Woke-Jacobin “Joe Biden” regime was defeated in the election, but they were apparently just a front for the sinister entity we call the “blob” or the Deep State, which in recent years has consistently and garishly acted against our country’s interests. So, the blob abides, and it probably weaves schemes in the deep background of daily life even as a new government awaits. But if the Woke-Jacobin Biden-istas were tied-in with the so-called “globalist” enterprise centered around the EU bureaucracy, with assistance from the World Economic Forum’s network of zillionaires and bankers. . . well, that coalition looks rather broken now. It’s doing a hurt-dance. It’s on the run, a little bit.

What is not broken for the moment — a tenuous moment — is the new Trump regime’s determination to correct the disorders of Western Civ, starting with the affairs of the USA, according to age-old reality-based norms of behavior and good-faith relations between the people and their government. Trust was broken and must be restored. The President-elect has assembled an extraordinary team of reformers, if they can get to their posts without subversion. And, of course, Mr. Trump himself has to evade further attempts to rub him out, to knock him off the game-board before he can take office, and then he must survive the months beyond his inauguration. So, you are correct to be nervous......"

"For all you know, the heavyweights of blobdom might be plotting some sort of coup during the Holiday season to prevent Mr. Trump from taking power on January 20. Failure to mount a coup would actually signal some essential weakness in the blob’s own enterprise architecture. The blob has certainly tried everything so far up to an actual coup, that is, a sharp discontinuity in constitutional government — like, with tanks around the US Capitol and generals in the Oval Office. The blob’s other problem is that it has no powerful individual leader to rally behind, no one with charisma. It has only its multifarious tentacles — departments, agencies, offices, and operations — which Mr. Trump and his lieutenants can lop off in broad strokes. They can cashier generals, defund projects, shut-down offices and programs, send US Marshals into CIA headquarters in Langley, VA, to lockdown document archives. Based on blob behavior of the past decade, no one’s fidelity to the constitution can be taken-for-granted." - James H. Kunstler

Probably the Most Important Accomplishment of Biden's Entire Presidency


After 248 years as the symbol of American Power and Freedom, the bald eagle has landed in it's rightful place as the Official National Bird. Most Americans are familiar with the Great Seal of the United States with the eagle carrying a flag-emblazoned shield holding an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other.
 
Awakened from his nap, Biden decided to signed into law that which amends the United States Code to make the bird official.

Biden also issued an executive order making the Orange Tabby the National Cat of the United States.
