‘Argentina’s Secretary of Thought’ (2014)

Just makin’ sure your mind is right…

I wonder how this caper turned out. I can’t find any newer information than what I had eight years ago.

To give the full title, “Secretary of Strategic Coordination of National Thought”–uh, does that sound just a little bit crazy to you? Sort of like “Disinformation Governance Board”…

Argentina’s Secretary of Thought (ROFL)

Anyway, it was pretty lively times in Argentina back then, and I guess the Secretary of Thought just got lost in the shuffle. All those presidential corruption scandals, very messy, plus a 25% inflation rate… things get lost, don’tcha know.

I wonder if we already have a Secretary of Thought and don’t know it.

‘So What Are They Gonna Do About It?’ (2017)

I like to run this piece around graduation time each year, as proof that normal people can win if they stand up to the crazies.

So What Are They Gonna Do About It?

“School officials” at Beaver High School, Pennsylvania, forbade the valedictorian from invoking the name of Jesus Christ. (“It’s against the law!” Oh, please: what law?) She praised Him anyway, and the audience gave her a long round of applause.

As it turned out, there was nothing the idiot “school officials” could do about it.

They want to throw you in jail for using “incorrect pronouns.”

They are evil. They are despicable. And if we ever found the courage to stand up to them, we’d wonder how we ever permitted these fools to frighten us.

Public School Outrage: ‘Don’t Notify the Parents’

The superintendent of schools in Harrisonburg, VA, can’t understand what all the fuss is about. Why the heck are those people suing his school district? Heck, we’re only following the model gender ID inclusion policy drawn up by the Dept. of Education last year before the Democrats got blown out of office.

https://www.whsv.com/2022/06/06/harrisonburg-schools-face-lawsuit-over-gender-identity-policy/

The schools are supposed to ask the kiddies what pronouns they want everybody to use, and what names–that is, the names and pronouns they’ve chosen for themselves–and then the schools will enforce that.

The part people don’t like is, oh, just a little thing.

School officials and teachers are not permitted to notify parents if a child decides to adopt a gender delusion.

In the words of the lawsuit (Alliance Defense Fund representing parents and objecting teachers), the district “compels the staff to mislead and deceive parents.”

It’s expected the arguments in the lawsuit will revolve around what exactly constitutes a “religious belief” protected by the First Amendment. We must ask: Why quibble about that? You already know where these educators’ heads are at. Why would you ever trust them with your children?

The one and only argument the “educators” will understand–and maybe I’m being overly charitable here–would be the removal of tens of millions of children from the public schools. People, public education is broken and will not be fixed! Not by teachers’ unions, not by teachers’ colleges, not by school boards, not by anyone who has anything to do with it.

This Stupid Story Has Everything!

World ends; women, minorities hardest hit — Christopher Fountain

It used to be a joke. Now it’s a reality.

Early this morning I wondered what we’d think if we saw a corny old joke acted out in real life. Well, here’s a corny old joke acted out in real life… by the government.

There’s an old joke by Mort Sahl that goes, “New York Times Headline, World Ends: Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.

It seems to have been the inspiration for the creation of a brand-new government bureaucracy, another bottomless pit into which to fling tax dollars: [raspberry fanfare] The Office of Environmental Justice! Hot dog. Part of Health & Human Services. Part of an executive order by senile SloJo himself. (*Note: This not to be confused with the Disinformation Governance Board. One is nonsense and the other is bilge.)

Best of all, informed by a 2007 study on “environmental racism” (what?) commissioned by none other than that high temple of Far Left crazyness, the UCC, United Church of Christ. Pioneers of gay-womanist-Bible-aint-God’s-word theology.

Oh! And that guy who calls himself “Rachel,” the fat guy with the wig and nail polish–he’s gonna be involved in this, too. Maybe as the mascot.

Yes! Climbit Chains disproportionately drops its load on “the poor,” and “marginalized” (by whom?), and–of course–People Of Color (POCs)! The bigwigs at the new bureaucracy have already hailed Ol’ SloJo as the perpetrator of “the most ambitious Environmental Justice agenda in history.” Well, yeah, it sure does put Julius Caesar’s environmental justice agenda in the shade.

Have we left out any left-wing blather? Any Far Left cliches this story doesn’t touch on? I think this story might be in line for an award. Most Thorough-going Piece of Shagwah Ever. Or at least for 2022.

WHO Loves ‘Pride’ Parades

Absolutely no freakin’ way I’m gonna post a picture of a “pride” parade. Here’s a nice baby iguana instead.

The World Health Organization has its priorities.

Faced with outbreaks of the dreaded “monkeypox” which no one ever heard of until a couple of weeks ago (when Democrats needed a new pandemic), WHO authorities say it’s “important” that Gay Pride parades go on, despite the threat of monkeypox (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/05/world-health-organization-says-important-pride-celebrations-not-change-monkeypox-concerns/).

Gee, just in time for the midterm elections. How about that?

Whatever the case, the Pride parades must go on as scheduled! Because that’s what’s “important.”

A global government would take away all our liberties except the “right” to fornicate. And kill any babies that might be in the picture.

And now we know that the Biden gang wants to sign over America’s sovereignty to the WHO–so they can shut down our economy whenever they please.

It’s going to take extraordinary efforts–and God’s blessing!–to preserve our republic.

‘Why I Don’t Believe in Global Warming’ (2014)

Once upon a time I wrote this on a cold and snowy winter’s day.

Why I Don’t Believe in Global Warming

I thought you might be interested in revisiting this post, which comes with a lively discussion. Even now, eight years later, there are still persons who believe in Global Warming, although now they prefer to call it “Climate Change” because that covers absolutely everything.

How do you communicate with these alarmists? They trust Science! Ain’t no politics in Science! Oh, save us, they trust Democrat politicians! They are more than willing to give vast new powers to the government, sign away our rights… oh, oh, oh! They believe in the wisdom of John Kerry, the sincerity of *Batteries Not Included, the integrity of… sheesh! Elizabeth Warren.

No one in America will ever be safe in his person or his property until the Democrat Party is annihilated as a factor in our politics.

A Dirty Trick That Failed

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Joe Biden: China's Puppet - YouTube

Did China tell him to do it? We’ll never know.

Y’know those “13 amendments” that SloJo’s gang wanted to make to international law, that would have practically erased our country’s sovereignty?

Well, thank God, it seems they’re off the table… at least for the time being (https://frcblog.com/2022/05/biden-backed-whos-latest-power-grab-fails/). Twelve of the 13 have been “taken off the table.”

I’ve devoted a lot of thought to this, and I think I’ve got it figured out. (I can’t help it, it’s the political scientist in me.)

Knowing that this year’s midterm elections are likely to be a catastrophe for the Democrat Party, resulting in Republican control of both the Senate and the House… The Regime decided to run to Davos with these “amendments”… to get them written into “law” (LOL) before the Democrats are ousted from power. It was nothing less than a dirty trick they tried–yes, they tried–to play on America.

The “amendments” would have had the overall effect of giving those globalist geeks at the World Health Organization the power to shut down any country’s economy–more specifically, America’s economy–anytime the head crook sees “a health emergency.” It wouldn’t matter if anyone else could see it or not.

“Ooh-ooh! Why, it’s time for another health emergency lockdown! And just before the midterm elections, too! Good thing we’ve got vote-by-mail and drop boxes and unlimited absentee voting already good to go!” Fast forward to morning after Election Day. “Well, fan my brow! Democrats have swept the midterms! Jeepers, who expected that? Ain’t Dimmocracy grand!”

How stupid do they think we are, to fall for this?

Why did the amendments fail? Who voted to scrap them? For how long are they going to stay scrapped?

We don’t know the answers to those questions because WHO dunnit secretly. No press, no leaks. Rumor has it that Brazil and Russia strongly objected to the loss of their national sovereignty. Maybe a lot of other countries did, too. All we can be sure of is that the Biden gang sure as hell didn’t object to wiping out America’s sovereignty. After all, it was their idea to wipe it out.

And they hustled to get it done before the midterms. Haste makes waste, sunshine.

We need to annihilate the Democrats, hopefully forever, in this year’s elections. Meanwhile we need to keep a close watch on them and Red China and their little puppets in WHO in case they try again when they think we’re not looking.

Globalism must die. That’s all there is to it.

How Democrats ‘Support’ Free Speech

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

The Limits of Free Speech | PolicyEd

Authoritarian Far Left statists though they are, Democrats are still reluctant to admit that they would like to scrap the Bill of Rights–especially the right to free speech. We all know that they believe that free speech should only be for speech that they want to hear. Everything else would be “hate speech” or “disinformation,” for which you should be severely punished.

Even so, the latest Democrat mantra is “We support free speech…” And then there’s a “but” or an “as long as” which negates their support of any freedom.

Here are a few of the most popular caveats and add-ons. Each sentence starts with “We support free speech,” or even “Of course we support free speech!”

*”As long as it doesn’t cross the line.” (What line? It usually turns out that only the Dems know where that line is.)

*”As long as it’s used responsibly, with respect for all.” (Are they kidding? The day they show respect for anyone, they’ll be six feet underground.)

*”But it must never be used for disinformation.” Unless Democrats speak to deceive us; then it’s okay.

*”But misinformation does real harm, and must be curtailed!” Again, unless they’re the ones spouting the misinformation. Then it’s okay. But for everyone else, the penalties for simply being wrong must be really harsh.

*”As long as it doesn’t trample on anyone else’s free speech.” (You have to shut up because some trans performance artist had a tantrum when he real your blog post.)

You can see where this is heading. They’d love to be able to jail you for Climate Change Denial, mis-gendering, or laughing at John Kerry. But until they’re able to do that, they’ll have to be content with herding you toward the open jailhouse door.

Glad She’s On Our Side!

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

There are still some strong characters up on Capitol Hill who fight for America–who fight for us. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) is one of then. Listen as she hews the legs out from under The Regime’s new Disinformation Governance Board–already widely known by its Orwellian label, “the Ministry of Truth.”

I stand up and cheer! Go get ’em, Lauren! Let’s get that Republican landslide in November so we can defund the censors, reconnect the Keystone Pipeline, and impeach those dastards who have already done such serious harm to our country.

I hope the rest of the House now understands what defending America means.

A Real National Leader–in Hungary

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Viktor Orban has been re-elected prime minister of Hungary. Makes a nice change, one of the good guys winning an election.

Orban is out to do what’s best for Hungary. He doesn’t take any guff from George Soros, from NGOs, from the United Nations… and especially not from the European Union (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4063679/posts). In fact, Orban says the EU abuses its power and tries to force an alien culture and ideology upon Hungary.

“However,” he adds, “we still do not let migrants in, we do not give permission to gender ideologies and we do not accept economic measures that would destroy Hungarian families” (for instances, sanctions on Russia that hurt the sanctioning nation more than they hurt Russia).

Gee, we had a leader, once, who used to put America first. What the dickens was his name? Something about a trumpet…? Oh, must’ve imagined it… there’s nobody like that in Washington.
