On Shame

The family that I am living with planned a Yard Sale for today, to get rid of as much of years of accumulated stuff crammed into their two garages as possible.  The stash was gone through yesterday, various members of the family sorting through it, to claim whatever they might wish to before it was made available for another home, and then loaded into a couple of flatbeds, of a family member and a friend.  Such sales are common in this Small Town Americana, but even then the lady of the house arranged ahead of time to hold it on a front lawn on a more busy nearby street, with the teenage twins having made up a lot of signs to that locale effect, to place around town last evening.   Come this morning, and unbeknownst to me, for being in my room all morning, engaging in my normal spell of reading, before my Daily Constitutional (with or without the family dog) in the afternoon, they had all gone out to do their deed, when, shortly after unloading the whole stash and setting it up for display, it started both raining and hailing; thoroughly soaking everything; which one of the twins recorded on her cellphone, and showed me, when I left my Cave and entered its immediate outer scene, of a bedraggled lot flaked out, forlorn, on the front room’s couches.  Some sales occurred, but it was, basically, a washout.  A shame.  

And speaking of ‘shame’.  Part of the reading that I had just been engaged in was a letter from Congressman Jim Jordan, in his leading role on behalf of the House Freedom Caucus - a group of conservative congresspersons - wherein he detailed the “SHAMELESS” and “DISGRACEFUL” actions of the Democrats, and their comrades in the (near monopolized) Mainstream Media, in their attempts “to exploit this global health crisis for political gain”.  One of the ways that they have used it to push their agenda is how they engaged in blatant propaganda to attack Pres. Trump over it.  First, he was vilified by them for being quick off the mark, back in January, to close down travel to the U.S. from China, being smeared at that time for his alert action as “racist” and “xenophobic;”(1) and then, regarding subsequent actions by Pres. Trump on the virus scare, the Left flipped the attack agenda against him: “They’ve even recently pushed the narrative that Republicans and President Trump didn’t act fast enough and, because of that, people died.” 

Damned if one does, damned if one doesn’t.  Whatever It Takes.  By Any Means Necessary, to accomplish your end.  In this case, it is the end of the United States as it has been, in order to merge it into a One World Police State with Red China, and its totalitarian approach to its subjects.

As I say: A shame.  And more: Disgusting. 

Two things, here.  First, to summarize Rep. Jordan’s letter, and quoting from it: “You see, there are TWO things the left NEVER misses: (1) they NEVER miss an opportunity to advance their leftwing agenda, and (2) they NEVER miss an opportunity to attack the President.  And it’s clear they are using this pandemic to continue in this kind of behavior.”  (Emphases, and as in the paragraph above, in original.)

And No. 2.  I’m sure that some on the Left say and think that ‘All’s fair in love and war” - that ‘it’s just politics’.  But there is a difference between information - perhaps spun a bit to enhance one’s particular ‘take’ on it - and outright, and devious, propaganda.  Example:(2) The leftwing mounts extreme activities and demands, and then when conservatives react in resistance to them, they are smeared as being ‘divisive’ or worse.  How deceitful.  It is almost as bad as the brainwashing the Left engages in when they label commonsense electoral measures, such as the need for voter ID, to be an example of - get this - ‘voter suppression’.  (Hey, Lefties: You mean illegal-voter suppression; right???)(3)

I could go on.  But you get the idea.  And how nefarious it has all become, with the NWO crowd feeling that their end, of their ‘long march through the institutions,’ is so close, so very close, that the U.S. patriots’ reaction to their scheme, in electing Donald Trump to the Oval Office, must be stifled at all costs.  To the American Republic.  Which they have been so bent on destroying anyway, in their pursuit of power.  And absolute power.  

There is a lesson in all of this for all of us.  For the conservatives, it is the lesson, as remarked on, and so presciently, by President Reagan, in effect that “freedom is not free”.  And for the ‘liberals’ (in a ’spin’ of that term from its origins), it is the lesson, primarily, that their blind adherence to an ideology may well be their undoing.  That a fair game between the ’right and the ‘left’ may have won them a victory in that end (however briefly, in the ongoing play of politics in a free country).  But when they chose to go for broke - and to say, a broken economy; and all that ensues from that sort of devastation, in personal and countrywide devastation - they went a bridge too far.

For not understanding the true nature of the Process that we are all in. 

Which quite possibly will result in no elections in November in the end, after all.  For the coming of the larger

End.

The lessons, for this stage of The Process,

over.  For those who pass

the Finals.

And for those who don’t?  Ah, well.  That’s another

Story.

In the possession of all of us of what we can’t sell off - no matter how hard we try - in the equivalent, sometimes, of a yard sale. That being

our souls.

(1) And how Republican Senator Tom Cotton, whom the National Review has called “the Senator Who Saw the Coronavirus Coming,” was attacked by the liberal Huffington Post with an article entitled “Don’t Listen to Senator Tom Cotton About Coronavirus,” wherein they accused him of “spreading misinformation and panic in a weeks-long meltdown over the disease,” as everybody else concentrated on the impeachment trial.  And as to any correction or apology?  Crickets.

(2) and as in the case noted above, with Pres.Trump smeared as a ‘racist’ - and not only for trying to nip in the bud the spread of the cv into the U.S., but when he attempts to halt the flooding into this country of illegal aliens; as if there is no difference between those applying to come into this country  through the front door as immigrants, and illegal aliens.  And including, in the latter category, drug and gun runners, child and adult sex traffickers, and terrorists setting up cells in this country.  

   The latter being precisely like lethal virus cells attempting to take over a host.

(3) And hot off the griddle: 

   from AbsoluteNews.com: “Republican lawmakers are very concerned about the integrity of the 2020 elections.  They believe mail-in voting will lead to more fraud.  Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has now sent a letter asking for an investigation into some suspicious dealings in the state of Nevada.

   “According to McDaniel, a ‘shady backroom deal’ between state Democrats and the Clark County Commission led to more mail-in ballots being sent out for the June  primary election…

   "A Fox News investigation into Clark County Election Department found mail-in ballots were sent to thousands of inactive voters.  They’re stacking up all over the place in public spaces, leading many to worry about fraud.  At the same time, Democrats are suing to stop state election officials from throwing out ballots with irregular signatures…”  Why?  Because it’s part of the ’voter suppression’ that is going on, you understand.

   And I’m sure you do.

   And as I say:

   Shame.
