‘How Dare You Criticize Public Officials?’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Rebekah Massie, minutes before her arrest

The mayor of Surprise, AZ, recently ordered a woman arrested for her criticism of the government body (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/above-accountability-arizona-mom-arrested-council-meeting-mayor/).

They have a “rule,” you see, forbidding any citizen”to lodge charges or complaints against any employee of the city to members of the [city council].” Uh, to whom else would you complain?

Wow. And here was me, a reporter, thinking one of the actual purposes of a council meeting was to hear complaints–and answer them. I must have covered literally hundreds of those public meetings (in New Jersey, no less) and never saw anyone arrested for voicing a complaint. I wonder how many thousands of complaints I heard, over the years.

Rebekah Massie, with her 10-year-old daughter in the audience, was arrested and charged with “criminal trespass.” I don’t know how you “trespass” on a public building supposedly open to members of the public. Is this the legacy of January 6, 2021?

Is this happening around the country, or is Surprise, AZ, uniquely marxist? Have our municipal officials been placed above and beyond criticism? Welcome to Venezuela North.

Why is King George III smirking at us from the grave?

 

 

‘Ancient Rome Had Stupid Experts, Too’ (2021)

Depiction of the burning of rome by nero on Craiyon

Almost the end…. before they got fairly started

Imagine history without a Roman Empire. It came very near to happening.

Ancient Rome Had Stupid Experts, Too

As it was, thanks to stupid leadership, the Gauls occupied most of the city and burned most of it down. Had it gone just a tiny bit farther, there would have been no Rome at all. It took the city over 100 years to recover.

This fallen world never runs out of stupid smart people.

The Slumbering Shump Awakens!

Maybe they went out to round up plastic forks.

Well, all right, maybe it’s not SloJo Biden personally getting involved in this. He may not be involved in anything. But his administration sure is wakin’ up!

What has set off their alarm bells? For what cause are they rolling up their sleeves and dusting off their brass knuckles?

Well, hmm, let’s see… War in Europe. War in the Middle East, threatening to break out all over. Massive inflation here at home. Nation’s borders erased. Cities crazy with crime…

None of the above.

The straw that stirs this drink is [trumpet fanfare]… plastic forks! Save The Planet from Plastic Forks! Nancy Pelosi tried in 2007, but it didn’t last. Ban them, ban them, ban them! Mobilize the resources of government to take plastic forks off the table by 2027 and then (this is for government employees and their lunchrooms) 2035. (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4256862/posts)

Sheesh. How many of these dwongs will be dead by 2035?

But as long as plastic forks are under control–really, what else matters?

‘Dem: Spend $10 *Trillion*on ‘Climate Change’ (2019)

It’s raining money!

Do these people get elected without massive lying and cheating? If you can say “Yes” with a straight face, get help soon.

Dem: Spend $10 *Trillion* on ‘Climate Change’

Do they even know what they’re talking about, when they toss around “trillion dollars” like it was a magic word? Do they know where the money comes from? Do they care?

It comes from you, America–and they will suck it out of your blood and take it out of your hide.

But anything to Save The Planet!

And Now For Something Totally Silly

Manhole Illustrations | Unique Modern and Vintage Style ...

“It’ll be so much comfier as a Maintenance Hole!”

The city of Berkeley, California, has decided to dispose of certain common words and replace them with Gender-Neutral Language (https://theconversation.com/the-uproar-over-taking-man-out-of-manhole-120821) because… Well, I can’t think of a way to finish that sentence.

But voila! It’s official now! They’ve rewritten their municipal code. So from now on, a manhole will be a “maintenance hole.” Can you gimme hallelujah?

There ought to be an essay contest to see whose life has been made all the better for this change. “Ever since they changed ‘manhole’ to ‘maintenance hole,’ my life has taken off like a rocket–!” (Another kind of “hole” springs to mind, but I won’t mention it.)

Winner gets to sit in on Berkeley City Council meetings for the rest of his or her life. Let the reader decide whether that’s a prize or a punishment.

‘The Crime of… Plastic Straws?’ (2018)

Pile of straws hi-res stock photography and images - Page 3 ...

Here they come! Quick, save the planet!

Before COVID, there was The Curse of the Plastic Straws. Killing the planet, dontcha know. Honest! A 9-year-old kid said so! And the next thing you know (this was four years ago), California was talking prison terms for unauthorized distribution and use of… plastic straws!

The Crime of… Plastic Straws!

Well, they had to back off when the whole world found out it was all based on some little kid’s school science project, including a phone call or two to a straw manufacturer. But hey, that was six years ago. Maybe now they’ll find a way to toss you into prison for possession of straws.

Liberals never permanently abandon their plans. They always come back later. Like Dracula.

The Dam Has Burst

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Cruising around YouTube last night, I found something that wasn’t there a week ago.

The dam of satire has burst wide open, and the flood has landed right on V.P. Kamala “Word Salad” Harris. The example posted above was one I missed last night. But there were plenty of others.

Kamala, first in line to assume the presidency if SloJo wanders into traffic, speaks pure gibberish, punctuated by uncontrolled cackling. Is this the kind of leadership that serious countries have? You know–countries that expect to be taken seriously.

She was getting clobbered on YouTube last night. Two weeks ago it would have been “How dare you! You racist!” Today it’s open season.

Need we mention that Biden is getting flooded out by satire, too? But how do you NOT satirize someone who appears on TV looking like a cadaver fished out of the water, and then two days later with a fake tan that makes him look like a jack-o’-lantern? Actually, that kind of performance is rather hard to satirize.

Will laughter and mockery do to these people what the Republican Party cannot do? Will satire sweep these dindles out of office–and render their movement extinct, forever rejected, forever an incredible hiccup in history that will take generations to explain?

We pray the Lord will have it so.

 

‘Idiocy Triumphant’ (2014)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

We saw it and we heard it.

Idiocy makes the world go ’round… backwards.

Have we pruned any of it back since 2014?

Idiocy Triumphant

In the wake of the Biden Debate Disaster, an army of spin doctors is trying to convince us that we didn’t see what we saw or hear what we heard. You know–like you’re supposed to believe in Global Warming even as you scrape ice from your windshield… in June.

Last week we saw the ghost of Biden trying to keep hold of the White House. Even big chunks of the In-the-Bag nooze media have deserted the ship.

It’s beginning to look a bit like divine intervention. I pray it’s so.

*Now* They’re Against Transgender Surgery for Children?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Groundhogs: Celebrating the Benefits of a Hungry ...

No, I will not post a picture of “Rachel” Levine, my stomach won’t stand it. Here’s a nice ground hog instead.

Does the government know what it’s doing? Is the Pope a 7th Day Adventist?

So first we had “Rachel” Levine, this fat guy who says he’s a woman, a big wheel in the Biden administration, campaigning to have no limits on sex-change surgery for minors.

And a day later, the administration comes out and says it doesn’t support sex-change surgery for minors, no age limits, anymore (https://justthenews.com/government/white-house/biden-administration-says-it-doesnt-support-transgender-surgeries-minors).

What a difference a day makes.

It is dangerous for a country to be (LOL) “governed” by perverts and loons.

And do we believe the administration’s sudden about-face? Or is it just a CYA response to increasingly unfavorable polls?

I think we are very ill-advised to believe anything coming from that source.

This driver never saw it coming, either

Three times in the past few weeks, The Smartest People In The World were caught napping by events they should have foreseen from miles and miles away.

They Never Saw It Coming

Yeah–a funny thing happened to them on their way to world government.

(You wake up in a cold sweat, having dreamed of those ginks from the WEF taking over the White House and appointing Mr. Fauci Universal Master of Jaaaaabs…)
