America’s National Malaise

29 Halloween Porch Decor Ideas for 2023

Very few of them were this impressive.

This subject came up in my interview before I could raise it myself:

Where are the Halloween decorations?

Every Halloween, we take a ride around town to enjoy the decorations. This year’s crop looked kind of skimpy. Oh, a few houses did it up, a few of the displays were big and gaudy. But by comparison with some years ago–yeah, it was skimpy.The interviewer noticed it, and so have I.

I first noticed it in the closing years of the Obama regime; but two years into Donald Trump’s term, it was back in all its glory. Then along comes Biden–and lot of the houses don’t have even so much as a pumpkin on the doorstep.

The same applies to Christmas decorations.

Is it just the crummy state of our economy, or something deeper? I say the cause is a national malaise, a kind of cultural depression, that settles over the country whenever it’s under (and I do mean under) Democrats. It’s depressing to be governed by people who think the country stinks and you’re not so hot, either. And their nooze media hammer it home every day. We not only don’t have the extra money to spend on decorations; a lot of us don’t have the heart for it.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! What’s not to love? Inflation, war, schools exhorting kids to go transgender, non-existent national borders, anybody can come in–ask Israel how that turns out–FBI “investigating” parents who object to their local school boards’ shenanigans… and we’re told we never had it so good!

I pray we can hold out long enough to get these people out of office.

NJ School District Bans Halloween

Halloween Costume & Parade | Forest Hill Elementary School

Banned! in South Orange, no fun allowed! For your own good, of course… Big Brother knows best.

Where do they get these dindles who wind up running our public education system? Where is it written than only drips, pills, and ninnies need apply?

The Superintendent of the South Orange and Maplewood School District, in New Jersey,  has banned Halloween–no costumes, no in-class cupcakes, no fun! He says he does this because fun stuff like Halloween may “exacerbate inequality” and anyway shut up already, he’s “promoting an inclusive school” (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/school-district-bans-halloween-promote-diversity-equity-inclusion/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=school-district-bans-halloween-promote-diversity-equity-inclusion), yatta-yatta, blah-blah-blah.

And behind the silly simp of a superintendent, they’ve got an Assistant Superintendent of Access and Equity. What the hell is that? Do you still wonder why your school taxes are so perishin’ high?

This jidrool in South Orange is so far out there on the left, even our Far Left Loony governor has publicly denounced him. (Yeahbut, yeahbut! Some kids’costumes might be nicer than others’! That would be inequality! And sadness. Oh, dear…!) The kids’ parents don’t seem too happy about it, either.

But as long as you stay in the public schools, this is the crapola you’re going to get. This is what they are. And they’re too far gone to change.

Get out while you can.
