I’ll stipulate that America in the 1950s was a thousand times better off than it is today. Even so, the era was not without its tiresome aspects.

Like “regimentation.”

Memory Lane: ‘Regimentation’

I was a child, and therefor defenseless. And everywhere you looked, some adult was trying to militarize you. “Dress right, dress! Count off by fours! About-face!” You couldn’t get away from it.

And then in the Sixties–because you can only take this stuff so far before people’s heads explode–the whole business fell apart and gave way to drugs and hippies and cultural meltdown. If you lived through the Sixties, you’ll know that this era we’re stuck in now is only a re-run.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! It was for discipline! And discipline is good!

But we didn’t wind up with “discipline,” did we?

We had two rats for a while. They were affectionate and playful… although they sometimes fought after we turned out the lights. ThumpthumpthumpthumpSQUEEEEK!!! And then I’d turn the lights back on, to find these two innocent rats who wouldn’t dream of fighting. Yeah, sure.

By Request, ‘My Church, My Church’

Patty doesn’t often request a hymn, although I never say “no.” But this old hymn, and the simplicity and warm prettiness of its piano accompaniment–well, I couldn’t say no to this one: My Church, My Church, My Dear Old Church.

And if you’d like to see the lyrics, here they are:

Fauci Magic Wearing Thin

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Someone gamed us pretty good in the COVID-19 pandemic, and his name is spelled F-A-U-C-I.

But there are some in the medical profession who are wise to this mountebank, and have been for quite some time. Dr. Suneel Dhand is one of them:

But hey, you don’t have to take his word for it! Check out the authoritative government site–which holds Mr. Fauci accountable for deceiving and bilking the nation:

https://oversight.house.gov/release/hearing-wrap-up-dr-fauci-held-publicly-accountable-by-select-subcommittee/

The outstanding quote is by Mr. Fauci himself: “When you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit…” Or, as another feller once put it, “If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.”

Get it, people? If you’re not on Mr. Fauci’s bandwagon, everything you think and believe in is just “ideological bullshit.”

Why isn’t this charlatan in jail?

It would be hard to come up with a nooze story goofier than this. Maybe even impossible.

Scientists Plan to Grow Neanderthal Brains and Install Them in Robots

Be the first on your block to get a crab-like little robot with a genuine Neanderthal brain! “What am I supposed to do with it?” you ask.

I dunno, Teach it to play Parchesi?

It’s a short hymn, but a sweet one–and it says what needs to be said.

Dog Vs. Army of Stuffed Toys

Some thoughtful humans assembled this enormous heap of stuffed toys–just for their dog. Now you can have fun watching the dog’s reactions and trying to figure out what’s going on in her mind (it ain’t easy).

Poll: 66% Expect Dems to Cheat

47,315 66 Images, Stock Photos, 3D objects, & Vectors ...

This is sort of like reporting that it gets hot in Death Valley.

A new Rasmussen Poll says 66% of Americans expect the Democrats to cheat in this year’s national elections (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/shock-poll-66-voters-believe-outcome-2024-presidential/).

Republican voters will have to turn out in overwhelming numbers to overcome the effects of ballot-stuffing, mail-in voting, and the rest of the dirty tricks that keep the Democrats in business.

How much more damage can SloJo Biden do to the country? Please, let’s not find out!

It’s such a shameful way to end our republic’s history.
