The novel coronavirus infection that leveled President Trump for nearly half of a news cycle has created a debilitating altered mental state in the mainstream media. CBS News national correspondent Ben Tracy said he would feel safer reporting from North Korea due to Trump’s cavalier attitude toward COVID-19. Maureen Dowd, in The New York Times, said the president’s brief visit to Walter Reed Medical Center left the reputation of that institution “in tatters”.

One of my favorite scenes from Willy Wonka!
The more we avoid germs and viruses the more susceptible to them we are — it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure that out. These “reporters” lost their minds a long time ago when they started reporting opinion as “news”.
Speaking as a retired firefighter, I prefer a ‘badass’ POTUS to the whiny wimps on the left.

Great song! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it or the band!
I guess you had to be around in 1966…
Well, I turned 10 in 1966 and I remember hearing Secret Agent Man, The Ballad of the Green Berets and various songs by the Beatles and Monkees, but totally missed The Count Five!
Would hear that song on the radio all the time a year before the summer of love…I was 9 and had no idea about the lyrics (transistor radios didn’t help) but the music pacing and the lead singer’s nasal voice was so “not beatles” that I’d turn the radio off. Like fingernails on the chalkboard!
petulant children in adult bodies (PCIAD) is the only way to describe their responses. it it truly disheartening to see day in and day out.trump wins or we lose our freedom.
This emotionally driven urge to self destruction is exactly why the Vulcans sought to purge themselves of emotion and pursue pure logic.
😉
May they live long and thrive.
|\ /| Live long and prosper, my friend.
And Spock realized that this was an imperfect solution; especially for humans. Human behavior is a cauldron of this and that; the beneficial and the harmful. For better or worse this is what makes us human. Purging doesn’t work, recognition and management is the best that we can hope for.
It was a joke, and not a very subtle one at that. I wasn’t advocating for a Vulcan society. My point was the emotionally driven urge to self destruction not the merits of Vulcan philosophy.
Even Spock had a very difficult time comprehending humor. It is interesting that the many metaphors of human personality and behavior, which were portrayed in Star Trek, are so often lost on many people.
That is true and so much so that rather than go with a “Vulcan” on Star Trek Next Generation they inserted an AI android (Mr. Data) so that the franchise could continue with those same types of metaphors. This created a scenario where we could stand outside of ourselves and laugh at (or cry, or bemoan, or whatever) our own condition … If once we realized what was being done.
I think the reason so much of that is lost on so many people is more due to them not actually being all that interested in the show(s) rather than a lack of intelligence or sense of humor. They’re just not “into it” and don’t really pay attention that closely.
Different people see different things in different ways, I guess. I once had a friend that wouldn’t touch a book if it was fiction. He didn’t see any point in reading something that’s not true. When I pointed out to him (me being a voracious reader and all) that I had probably read 25,000 books and stories at the time we had the conversation — and there’s just no way someone can read that much and not learn something from it … He was completely uninterested in the whole idea that fiction can contain useful information and insights.
Things can go the other way too, some people read fiction as though it were fact and cannot differentiate between the two.
I don’t think that either was the situation in the above case, I think Alan Kelman was just taking me too literally. It really was just an off-handed joke I tossed out there knowing Bill Whittle is a fellow SciFi fan and Trekkie.
Even so, your observation about metaphors is an accurate one and I was playing off those metaphors to make the joke work.
That video at the end was outstanding, I love it. Great job!
Its emotionally driven propaganda, Scott.
When you are already insanely out of touch with reality, how can you be more insane? A fantasy of a fantasy? A non truth made less true?
The next stage of insanity is catatonia. They become frozen in a corner afraid to move because their self generated monsters might attack and destroy them. The truth is they have destroyed themselves in the process of trying to destroy the rest of us. They never meant well. Their purpose was to destroy for the sake of destruction. The result is maliciously intended. They have been at war with reality for a very long time. Reality will win!
Our challenge is not to become collateral damage in their war.
Yes, lets all check out of human interaction, live in a bubble of “safety” while we all become something other than human. But, we will be safe, safe, safe. Let us all interact via social media only, and stay afraid of actual physical contact. Masks, shields, gloves, I will take my chances just as I do when I drive a vehicle anywhere, or cross a street to hug and say hello to a friend. This is living life, with all it’s risks it is worth nothing if we simply hide from it. I understand taking measures for nursing homes and such, but even this I question trading loved ones interaction with those in the last days of life for “safety.” It was heartbreaking when I was “allowed” to see my brother for a half hour outside and supervised, when I got up to leave he started toward me for a hug, but was stopped by the nurse. I know we would rather take the risk, and probably most others in this facility, but the state is in charge and this is how it is. I may never have the chance to hug him again, but for now he is “safe.” Safe from human interaction that is.
I would have shut that nurse down on the spot.
I was very tempted to do so, but realized the insane repercussions that would have followed for everyone else. This is the only reason I did not fight it. So sad.
The problem is that those manipulating these useful idiots are not catatonic or fools. They know what they want to accomplish; they know how to create and use these shock troops.
We better not be collateral but we need to properly identify what war is being fought. It has little to do with the avoidance of danger.
Not catatonic yet. Soon. Real soon now.
Yes.
That video at the end was genius! Anybody have a link to that Wonka short?
It’s here.
Awesome – thank you!
Where?? I don’t see it in your comment.
Click on “here.”
Thanks!!
“Snork!”
I mean no offense when I say that I thought you were attempting the humor of a literalist, and it gave me a chuckle that forced coffee into my nose. Thanks for the laugh even if it was unintended. 🙂
