Monday…Let The Madness Begin

 - There are days I’m glad voodoo dolls don’t work well.  If they did, I’m pretty sure I’d have more holes in me than a sieve. 

- Got a summons for jury duty.  Last time I got such a summons, I reported, and asked rather loudly “when are they gonna bring that guilty sumbitch in?”  Still got picked.

- A trans type representative in Minnesota has written language in a state human sexuality bill to remove language which identifies anyone expressing sexual desires towards minor as committing a crime. Damn! Not only do they not hide pedophilia they are encouraging it.

- In related news a ‘man’ in the city of Pecos TX was arrested for (among other things) about 30 child porn videos on his computer…and…he lives *right next door* to the school there. I will never understand this, will never even consider it human behavior.

- Seen: Woman says she shutdown a vicious mansplaining event when a guy tried explaining the word seahorse.  She told him to STFU, as she know that seahorse in the present tense of sawhorse.  

- Ron deSantis of Florida is an enigma. He talks about a lot of conservative values, yet will be signing into state law a provision allowing him to remain governor should he decide to run for president.  Sorry, man, you can’t have it both ways

- I see quite a few Facebook posts saying ‘like if you have a beautiful (grandchild, son/daughter, stepchild, whatever).  This is some sort of discrimination, as there are no similar threads for people who have butt ugly kids running around. You know, the kind that can curdle milk still in the grocery store case, the kind you take everywhere because they are too ugly to kiss goodbye.

- I don’t know about anyone else, but personally I’m starting to get worn down by the hourly tidal wave of societal degradation everywhere.  Runaway crime, targeting children for sexual manipulation, inflation, a government that regardless of party just not give one single shit about us, spin more important than facts, atrocious customer service just about planet wide, you name it. It’s starting to affect me physically I believe, as the depression caused by the world we allow is starting to manifest in constant headaches, angst, distrust, and so on.  I pretty much live life under MY terms, but…wow

- One interesting facet about Fridays seem to be the shutdown of most DOT GOV activity.  If congress meets, they accomplish even less than usual; local and state agencies same thing. Fridays seem to be a blowoff day in most schools, definitely colleges.  

- Hundreds of army officers have had their active tours of duty extended a couple of years because of severe shortages of pilots and other specialized fields.  Not exactly what I call a fair deal.  Wonder if DoD knows something we don’t.

- Here’s something goofy…men pretending to be women want people who ‘misgender’ them to be arrested, or at least chastised and fined.  Imagine the prosecution, then the defense offering ‘does the plaintiff have a penis? Does plaintiff have an X chromosome? Then he’s a male, no matter how he chooses to dress.’  Hard to cross examine 1,000,000 years of evolution 

- I’m wondering why the IRS needs armed agents.  Still haven’t heard explanations as to why the Dept of Education, Interior, Agriculture, and seemingly every other government agency has armed agents.  Again, I’m all for people being armed, but it seems odd that more and more of this comes at my/our expense. Who, exactly, are these federal agents protecting?

- The adage about March, in like a lion out like a lamb, has been sent into the depths of ‘not this year.’  Wind and dust storms are crazy this year.  I’ve seen people return to cigarettes just to help clear the dust from their lungs.🥸
