MSNBC's photographic negative of a Biblical story.

Cross out Three Wise Men, insert Three Vile Women.

Come Judgment Day, both the Roman Forum of Caligula and the Residents of Sodom and Gomorrah are going to be howling at these women.

They have boldly gone where no slut has gone before. They are further into uncharted ground with each passing day.

I never thought I would have lived to see such insanity passing for Journalistic Commentary.

Even the Onion and the Babylon Bee cannon keep up with this stuff.

Why? This is vastly more entertaining than Prime Time in the '80's. Not even Bud Bowl can hold a candle to this.

... once upon a time in late 19th Century America, scholastics referred to what came to be the CNN/MSNBC archetype as, the yellow press. MSNBC is currently on life support, cash infusions from corporate overlords, in tandem with CIA directives, encharging cable news the task delivering an ongoing mind control psychological operation, perpetuating social conflict, stoking a race war, impressing and reinforcing a self-serving, divide and conquer narrative to a select cult-base, of negro racists, inner-city LGBTQ fanatics, militant feminists, the Greta Thundberg crowd, and miscellaneous inner-city ditto-heads, by a select rainbow panel of overpaid negro racist, gay, feminist, intellectual frauds promoted as commentators -- hand-chosen to mimic and reflect the composition of their following. Nothing objective nor theoretically impeccable is ever advanced, but simplistic, puerile, sophomoric government propaganda, by CNN or MSNBC. This cult following of cable news dittoheads cling to their MSNBC/CNN commentators in desperation, like babies to their Binky. When they respond to Binden corruption, or COVID lab leak allegations that no evidence exists? We, in the know curtly respond, "... hey there, cupcake, all you have to do is, turn to channel to CNN or MSNBC, and keep it there. And, like magic, presto-chango, all the evidence magically disappears! Isn't it wonderful?" - Samuel.

The only problem here is this whole enchilada is about to spin out of control. In 2016, I welcomed the Trump Train, even though highly skeptical. (I did not vote for the guy- He was not exactly Our Lord Jesus Christ. Not even Pius X or Miguel Pro.)

In 2020, I was pleading with the Trump crowd to wake up. Your hero did not drain the swamp, he made it a National Preserve.

Now in 2024, the two sides are utterly polarized, and both left logic and civility behind. I hear Trump supporters openly hoping for the Trannies to fire the first shot so "we can get this thing going". All too many of them are out for blood. That's just what I need- neighbors who are useful idiots for the first CIA bagman to come along and lead them in a raid against the local cop shop or school district headquarters.

Most people have utterly no clue how much of a tinder box some parts of the country are becoming... all by design.

I agree that fighting amongst ourselves is the ruling class agenda and totally counterproductive and self-destructive. But it is the cancer at the top that must be excised, and increasingly options to do so civilly through the political process are running out.

This is not a call to violence, just a matter of objective observation.

As Mr Spock would say, there are always alternatives. One, of course, is prayer. Maybe we could give God a chance. (Along with that, I would suggest a long look in the mirror, asking ourselves if our lifestyle has played some small part.)

The other, more earthy option is simply unplugging oneself from the system. Granted, this is not easy, and becoming harder by day.

Yes, if they do decide to come after me, I am definitely going down with my boots on, so to speak. And that might just make some of them think twice before volunteering for the next raid.
