The Media Tried to Smear Ron DeSantis. It Backfired | Opinion
When you see a column like this in Newsweek, not exactly a Right Wing publication, you can rejoice that every once in a while the truth does come out at least a little bit in the media.

Feel free to post or forward.
Health update: I’ve been notified that the
VA has scheduled me for a hip
replacement May 6. They were concern because I’m immune suppressed from my lung
transplant in 2013. About 2% of joint replacements get infected, which could be
fatal for me. But without it I have a 100% chance of living in increasing pain
and decreasing mobility. My surgeon has done both hips and a shoulder in another
lung transplant patient without issues. I think it’s worth the risk.
I was so excited that I sent an email to
some family and friends with the typo, “Him Replacement” in the subject line.
My friend Peter who was in the Massachusetts Legislature with me wrote back: “I
assume you meant hip. There isn’t a surgeon in this world who can replace
Robert Hall!”
Some time ago I write that young men talk
about their sex lives, middle age men talk about their jobs, and old men talk
about their health. I definitely fit into the last category.
“Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners.”
–George Carlin
Hollywood should give back the millions they made on Dr. Seuss
movies.
"What our
generation has forgotten is that the system of private property is the most
important guaranty of freedom, not only for those who own property, but
scarcely less for those who do not. It is only because the control of the means
of production is divided among many people acting independently that nobody has
complete power over us, that we as individuals can decide what to do with
ourselves. If all the means of production were vested in a single hand, whether
it be nominally that of 'society' as a whole or that of a dictator, whoever
exercises this control has complete power over us."
-- Friedrich A. Hayek, The Road to Serfdom
[1944]
Women’s rights are Islamophobic. Gay rights too.
“A million ‘Landlords’ were killed in the year after
communists took control of China in 1948…This holocaust was inherent to the
design for People’s War from the outset.” –John Keegan, A History of Warfare.

If we extend the deployment of the National Guard to
Washington, members of Congress should have to eat only what the guardsmen eat.
From Facebook: They are not courageous transgender athletes.
They are cowards beating up on girls.
From the Net: Only weak minds are woke.
The story of our Government: Schlimmbesserung is a German word that means “to make things
worse through an effort to improve”
Cancel Disney.
I’m working on a book to bring both sides together. It’s
called: “Horton hears a wet ass pussy.” (Sorry, but that’s the song they
nominated for number one.)
They didn’t cancel Peter Pan because of stereotypes of
Indians. They cancelled it because of stereotypes of pirates, which is offensive
to politicians.
Have you ever seen “fact checkers” correct a negative post
about a Republican?
Well, the country is getting another $1200 stimulus,
courtesy of your grandkids. Given the state of the Republic, guns and ammo
might be a wise investment.
Racism existed before history when the first person noted
that a stranger had slightly different color skin. Sexism has existed since men
discovered that being physically stronger than women, they could impose their
will on them. Modern western civilization is the first society to try to
eliminate them. It won’t be done by banning comic characters.
“The Negro family in the urban ghettos is crumbling. … So
long as this situation persists, the cycle of poverty and disadvantage will
continue to repeat itself." –Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY
1965)
The peace sign is the WWII victory sign. Cultural appropriation
from patriots.
Criticizing rape culture is Islamophobic.
I’m beginning to think that Megan and Harry are channeling
Perkin Warbeck.
Which is the party of the rich? Trump had the support of 132 billionaires,
Biden of 230. Source National Review.
Anti-vaxers are the new medical luddites.
It’s illegal to vote if your are not 18, not a citizen, or
not alive. Democrats call this “voter suppression.
Twenty years from now, progressives will be still blaming
Trump for floods in the mid-west and droughts in the south.
Remember when you were concerned about earmarks? They’re
back!
Giving children
puberty-blockers is child abuse, in order to get warm fuzzies from your progressive
Chablis and Brie crowd. Parents that do it should be open to lawsuits from
child advocates now, and from the children when they reach 18. Giving little
Johnnie mom and dad’s house and IRA to compensate for stunted development would
send a salutary message.
Wonder if Joan is too woke to sing this hit anymore?

Happy first anniversary of, “Fifteen days to Flatten the
Curve.”
I don’t have to be right, but I notice it often works
out that way. Sometimes years later.
So, how many of the illegals Biden is inviting in are COVID-positive.
Are they bending the curve up?
When
caution costs nothing, be cautious.
Dear
President Biden: Thought you would want to know that Trump was in favor of breathing.
A Muslim shoots
up a Jewish grocery store and the gun is to blame.
Headline: “President
Biden grapples with children at the border.” Me: “Two to one on the children.”
There are some
blacks (BLM) and some whites (KKK) who seem determined to increase racism
through their attitudes and behavior.
From an Irish
song: I’ll paddle my own canoe.
I notice people
take being in Facebook jail as a badge of honor.

Biden has no mandate – here's why he was really hired and how his left-wing agenda will backfire
This is one of several articles about Joe's intention to remake the USA like FDR did. Interestingly, only one of them mentioned in passing the "detail" that a 3 trillion dollar package to overhaul things, on top of the nearly 4 trillion already printed and distributed in special Covid relief packages (of which a minority of the money went to actual Covid relief) just might bring on something called inflation.
Race and False Hate Crime Narratives
We have the media and others frothing at the mouth to prove that White racism is the most terrible thing going in our society, that it's destroying people every minute of every day, and is hardly any better today than when the KKK was doing monthly lynchings. It's utter nonsense, racism does not exist at anything remotely like those levels, and, BTW, what racism there is in society today is not limited to only those with one kind of skin. The facts are not hard to find, the numbers are there, but no one is going to refer to the real facts, the hateful propaganda is going to continue to be broadcast at high volume every day. Again, if you want to break a society apart, this is the way to do it.
