Some Moral Equivalence

Israel attacks terrorists to keep them from doing murder. Iran attacks Jews anywhere they can find them (like Argentina). They also attack completely innocent targets like a Japan-flagged, internationally-crewed tanker, because its operation is managed by an Israeli company. Israel bends over backwards to protect noncombatants and innocent civilians, while Iran tries to kill every Jew it can and even non-Jews who happen to work with Israelis.

Friday's Fauci Follies

(Parody) You may be permitted to leave your house so long as you are booster vaccinated and wear seven masks or a NASA spacesuit. You can allow someone to enter your abode only if they are in a bubble. If you violate any of these requirements, you will be deliberately exposed to COVID and face death to a degree of certainty of around one percent. Fear the pandemic but quake in terror for all that is being done to "protect us" from it.

Turned Off Sports

I was an avid watcher of many sports. Colin Kaepernick cured me of that.

Taste of Bile

An athlete in an event I am not watching let down her teammates and her nation, but in today's upside down world, she will probably be feted. I do not really care about a bunch of folks who despise our country exploiting us to gain fortune and fame. If you do not stand for our anthem, you should not pursue a spot on our national team.

We Must Obey

You are a lamb being led to slaughter if you blindly follow all of the COVID mandates. We used to be a free people, able to determine what was right for us. Now, we must accept absolute garbage with a smile, or our social media will be taken away, and pretty soon our freedom of movement may be stripped from us too. If we allow tyranny, there will be someone there ready to impose it on us.

Australia Gone Mad

I read Queensland is forcing folks to seal their balcony doors so that they are not able to pass things to each other and post photos to prove they are taped up to slow the spread of COVID. These rules are absolute lunacy, but that is what we have come to expect from formerly sane nations. One of the symptoms of the pandemic seems to be rapidly spreading tyranny.

The Stronger Emotion

You can love someone, have that returned in kind, but have that feeling dissolve to never return. Once you hate something or someone, it rarely if ever turns to a robust admiration. It would seem hate trumps love.
