MONDAY MEMES

Mon, 2024-02-12 17:00 +0000

And so another week begins.

Take heart – there will be both a Wednesday and Friday Edition.  Last week’s Friday Edition.

Remember, ridicule and mockery are effective weapons:

  1. Ridicule cannot easily be fought
  2. Ridicule makes the enemy angry, and angry people make mistakes
  3. For those in the “squishy middle” a Thought Splinter (and Part II and Part III and Part IV) can often be hidden inside humor.

Now, let the mockery and mayhem begin.

Biden is Done, So, What Next?

Mon, 2024-02-12 15:00 +0000

How sweet is it that Joe Biden’s political career was torpedoed by the man he has used to destroy anyone who got in the way of the Democrat destruction of America? Special Counsel Robert Hur may have published the scathing report on Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, but it was Biden’s buddy, Attorney General Merrick Garland, who signed off on and delivered the damning document to Congress and the world.

Some may say Garland never read the report, but what he signed was worse than if Biden was tried and found guilty of espionage. Garland did his best impersonation of Judas and presented the report that proved to the world that Joe Biden is not mentally competent. Joe Biden, President and leader of the free world, is an old man who lacks the memory recall to defend himself, let alone be within ten feet of the nuclear football.

The White House has been in damage control since the release of the report on Thursday afternoon. The report details why Biden will not be charged with illegal possession of classified documents because no jury would ever find an old, feeble, mentally incompetent Joe Biden guilty of the charges. Karine Jeanne-Pierre, Ian Sams, and the liberal mainstream media did their best to spin and distort the Special Counsel report but failed.

The media defended Biden and crucified Hur, but the evidence is insurmountable. The Dems can tell us till they are blue in the face that Biden is of sound mind, but Thursday’s prime-time press conference was all America needed to see. After Biden’s hapless effort to fend off the newly stoked media, it was evident that Joe Biden was done. Stick a fork in him and start planning his Presidential library. Ensure plenty of room for the Corvette, the broken lamp, and the dilapidated boxes of classified documents from the family garage.

The free-for-all starts on Monday. Biden and Doctor Jill will not quit, but Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom, and Kamala Harris will be fighting for the top slot on the 2024 Democrat ballot. There are others like Hochul (NY) and Whitmer (MI) who think they have what it takes, but they need to look in the mirror and realize they are not able to manage a state, let alone 50 states and the endless caravan of humanity crossing the Rio Grande.

It is getting late in the game for a passing of the baton. Super Tuesday is coming quickly, as is the convention. The convention in Chicago may resemble a WWE battle rather than a party convention. Newsom will probably emerge as the front-runner. After all, he has been running since 2023. Obama is the only one who can bring them all together, but after twelve years of Obama’s Presidency, do we really want four more with Michelle as the figurehead? With no political experience and an ego that will match any narcissist, the country cannot handle a Michelle Obama Presidency. Let’s face it. The Democrats are screwed, but they did it to themselves when they put Biden in the White House.

This Week’s Comment of the Week Winner Is …

Mon, 2024-02-12 14:00 +0000

Another good week for engagement between readers with several articles exceeding 60 comments each. And quite a few new names have popped up in the mix. That’s what it’s all about, in our opinion.

It makes my job harder – I say that every week, but it’s true, and I like it.

A few mentions before we crown last week’s winner. Jewbacca (love that handle), Recognizing truth, greenmanpostal, Jay, Tony, J.Page, The Ornery Nurse, Ua Nemhnainn, Ian, Nitzakhon, NHNative, Steve Earle, DiverDuck, TombstoneGabby, Landigns Elf, QuillPig, DavidS, Skip (posting @GraniteGrok), Ken, the other Ken, the other Jay, Jeff, Mike, Cantdog, Dan McGuire, StillStanding, Truth Hurts The Weak, Doyle, Agent Liberty, Jefferson Voltaire, Publius, and many (many!) more.

We welcome you all and appreciate your engagement, but as we say (almost every week), there can be only one.

David S. Please email me at steve@granitegrok.com so I can get a mailing address.

David S (reformatted) [GOP Voters are Not Very Good at Voting]
I think the REAL problem stems from the GOP NOT having REAL PRINCIPLES that they both understand AND stick to. Say what you want about libertarian ideals, but they are consistent.

When I ran for office, I may not have known everything about every subject, but when asked about something I didn’t fully know, my response was always in favor of the individual over the collective, getting rid of the government role, increasing freedom, liberty, choice, and personal responsibility.

Sadly, I think that too many in the GOP suffer from the same “internal schizophrenia” (as I call it) that plagues those in the democrat party. They believe in economic freedom but can’t allow personal freedom (or visa versa for the democrats). They NEVER seem to understand that there is ONLY FREEDOM, not two different kinds that can be separated or treated separately.

If you have NO foundation upon which to build your platform or principles, you can easily be led astray by polls, hollow arguments, or simply raw cash.

 

The absence of well-rooted principles continues to be a problem, as does the speed with which those claiming to have them depart from that – at all levels of government.

Note 1: Several runners-up are worthy of additional attention, so I hope to find time to feature them in posts later this week.

Note 2: Jim Peschke (last week’s winner), please email me (or email me again) at steve@granitegrok.com. I still need your mailing address.

Tucker Is Attracting 6 Times More Viewers Than ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC Combined

Mon, 2024-02-12 13:00 +0000

Non-journalist Tucker Carlson, that’s what the REAL media is calling him (maybe he’s just a reporter?), got something none of them could. An interview with the sinister dark lord of the once-fading Soviet Empire, Vlad the Putin. Their jealousy is embarrassing to everyone but them, which is great for us.

We didn’t lie about the Steele Dossier, Hunter’s Laptop, Hillary’s Server, VP Biden’s illegal possession of classified Docs, COVID/the response/the vaccine, but here they are, begging for credibility on the question of someone who has been doing journalism professionally for decades getting someone else’s side on a list of issues from NATO expansion to bombing Russian pipelines, to that war in Ukraine thing.

An interview they wanted but did not get, at which they claim they’d ask hard questions, which we know they would not. The goal would be not to pry the truth from a former KGB agent and Russian President for Life but to control whatever message came out of the conversation.

You and I are too stupid to understand what it all means. It is far too complex for us to manage. Therefore, they are obligated to engage in censorship and message control to ensure our baby-bird brains receive only the information nutrients they deliver.

Musk’s X, Tucker’s TCN, Joe Rogan, and many others (including the ‘Grok, in its own way) keep jumping the speech barriers and side-stepping the censorship landmines to expose you to ideas they can’t control, what the presstitutes and their Big Tech allies call misinformation or disinformation -even malformation.

How’s that working out?

The total for all of these shows combined is just shy of 32 million. Remember, back in 1968, Walter Cronkite drew an average of 27 million viewers just for his broadcast. Compare that to Tucker’s numbers — as of 9:06 pm Saturday night (Eastern Standard Time), it has 186 million views. In other words, Tucker is attracting 6 times more viewers than ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC combined. And he is not spending one dime on advertising trying to attract viewers.

CNN’s numbers are really pathetic. Their “top” show only attracted 733,000 viewers. Tucker blew through that number in the first 30 minutes of his interview with Putin. When you stop to consider the hundreds of millions of dollars the media companies with so few viewers, you must wonder, “How long can this go on?”

How long, indeed. That same REAL media has followed Big Tech’s example and shed tens of thousands of jobs, which, ironically, is what they voted for. Instead of following the Trump economy example post-covid, he did what Democrats always do. He made it more expensive to do business while making it harder to attract business: inflation, energy prices, food prices. The Obama-Era economic new normal that Trump destroyed with record jobs and economic growth returned when Igor (Biden) and his keepers took possession of the Executive Branch.

If the numbers are right, about 90% or more of the people who are losing their jobs in Big Tech, Media, and Entertainment chose that over prosperity and mean tweets.

Elections do have consequences, as does letting a political party steal them, which Democrats do to each other, so let’s not pretend they won’t do it to Republicans. And maybe they realize it, but likley not. The bubble in which they live is thick, like their skulls.

Carlson got what they wanted, and he’s embarrassing them with its appeal as fewer people tune in exclusively to their fits and rants about silencing any “journalism” whose product they cannot control.

If you are in our audience, you’ve likely seen it and decided for yourself, but if not, we’d never stand between you and you making up your own mind. Unlike the left and the Machine Media, we understand that everyone makes mistakes, and only through open debate do we find some agreement on the truth (and maybe just end up agreeing to disagree).

Here’s Tucker and Vlad having a chat.

Doubtful At Best

Mon, 2024-02-12 11:00 +0000

Americans have been very lax with their Blessings. In a country that offers so much, how is it that we take it all for granted without caring to ensure its operational integrity? No wonder that today, we are on the precipice of joining the rest of the third-world inhabitants!

Logic and common sense tell us that our freedoms all come with limitations. Think about safety on the highways; posted along with the speed is the word “limit.”
It’s required and even practical since men and women usually require controls. So, on this point, while certain acts have received freedom’s legal pass, explain the actual speech involved when burning our National flag or the value of “privacy” after becoming pregnant?

These queries are citizen-related; what about those that the citizens elect for representation? This two-sided coin meshes and thus increases the election of buffoons or worse. Once again, freedom only works properly when a responsible, alert, and informed citizenry is its guide.

For some time, those graduating with law degrees never once opened up or studied the law of our land, our Constitution. The majority of representatives have law degrees. Although otherwise upstanding, why is this law degree such an attraction for holding office to both the candidate and the voter?

This leads to two obvious injustices which have remained either unnoticed or, more likely, unknown. Over time, both have sewn a terrible web of intrigue and criminality.

The first is this weighty weapon of issuing an “Executive Order.” Its frequent defense is that George Washington issued them! Yes, he did, but what is not mentioned is that he used them sparingly and within the proper legal framework. As its title infers, they were strictly for issuing corrective measures to problems within his “Executive” branch. Today’s version of EO usage is similar to transforming a young and innocent lady into a common streetwalker!

Still, it’s a problem solver. Can’t get it through Congress? “Don’t worry about that old fuddy-duddy document from 1787 or the system of governing which has worked so well, we’ll just pass an EO!” The subsequent results from these illegal actions are the proof! And now, with the American people experiencing this abuse for so long, it’s considered routine!

The second Constitutional crime came with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment. The basic purpose of its writing was to ensure equal rights to those who were freed. So, it would seem that this needn’t be an Amendment but rather a legal directive with an expiration date. However, even the legal ratification of the Fourteenth seems questionable given the late Congressman Lawrence P. McDonald’s book, We Hold These Truths.

To quote, “Three-fourths of the states did not ratify the proposed amendment, as required by the Constitution; but…Congress had the Secretary of State proclaim it ratified anyway –on July 20, 1868.” He further states, “…the Fourteenth would have foredoomed freedom under constitutional law because it conflicts so sharply with the rest of the Constitution.” Back then, it was an accepted fact that ratification by the rebellious states was a precondition to being re-admitted into the Union.

More affecting and more understandable is this asinine judicial interpretation that once an illegal enters American soil, her forthcoming baby will be granted citizenship! This interpretation directly challenges the purpose of America’s immigration process and requirements if all an immigrant has to do is to sneak in through the southern border so that her child would be automatically rewarded!

Another knock on the Fourteenth is the redundancy. It repeats the “due process clause” of the Fifth Amendment and the “equal protection clause” of its previous Thirteenth Amendment. Still, its judicial referencing continues.

Today’s Courts depend too much on this particular amendment. It has gotten to the point that it is a catch-all for so many assorted rulings. It seems that the late Congressman may have been correct when theorizing “…would have foredoomed freedom…”

Quelling any reader curiosity, Rep. McDonald is a relative unknown today since he was among those aboard the #007 flight of the Korean Airlines, which received scant media notice, simply due to the fact that it was downed by none other than our Russian trading partners.
