"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

A rather famous quote by Gonzo author and founder H. S. Thompson taken to imply that in times of change and upheaval, every weirdo can make an often very good living from his or her personal ideas and views, no matter how inaccurate and stupid they are.

I suppose that's what Alex Jones, the far-right and alt-right, crazy conspiracy theorist host of the 'The Alex Jones Show' and founder of the Infowars website must have thought when he claimed that the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was orchestrated by the government to eventually introduce gun control.

Oh well, at least a judge apparently disagrees. Alex Jones has just been ordered to pay USD965m in damages to the Sandy Hook victims' families.

What do you think of this verdict? Should conspiracy theorists be held to account for their claims and the ensuing consequences of those claims?

As for myself, I cannae deny that I'm loving it to bits!

It doesn't take an iota of intelligence to know why this site is free.

What is it to the owners and the mods? Exactly. Think.

The more views a topic gets, the more participants it has, the more advertisers.

Simple.

Complain all you want, these topics will stay. And on the front lines.

Yes. You didn't say it should go away, you want it isolated or hidden. Good luck.

Though you might not think so at first, the musical artist Kanye West and the Fox News host Tucker Carlson actually have a lot in common. Both men are very famous, and also very irritating. Both are sometimes remembered, sartorially speaking, for their preppier periods. Both have reached the peaks of success in their respective spheres within American mass media; both have chosen to use their platforms to pretend loudly and often that their platforms—and your freedoms—are actually in imminent jeopardy, thanks to the thought plague known as cancel culture. Did I mention that both men are very irritating?

It was only a matter of time before West and Carlson combined forces in a maelstrom of risible nonsense. That long-awaited moment finally came to pass on Thursday’s episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight, which was wholly devoted to a pretaped interview with West, who made a lot of people angry this week when he wore a dumb T-shirt to a fashion show. On Monday, both West and conservative commentator Candace Owens wore shirts reading “White Lives Matter” to West’s fashion show in Paris. The shirt, which also featured a large photograph of Pope John Paul II for some reason, was part of West’s latest collection—which, according to the New York Times, he introduced with a “rambling speech about critics who complained about his shows being late; … the pain of being called ‘crazy’; critics who complained that his clothes might not be well made,” and many other things. Classic Fashion Week drama!

Tucker Carlson, of course, lives for Fashion Week drama, and so he had West on his show to discuss how unfair it was that nobody liked his ugly, antagonistic shirt. “The response from the fashion industry and the international media was instantaneous and uniform: shock, horror, rage,” said Carlson at the outset of the hour-long discussion. In it, West rambled about his parents, announced that he chose to wear a “White Lives Matter” shirt “because they do ,” and spoke about how political forces had attempted to manipulate him back when he was married to Kim Kardashian. “We’ve rarely heard a man speak so honestly and so movingly about what he believes,” Carlson said. I skipped the first quarter of Thursday Night Football to watch this.

Sometimes when I write blogs I never go back and comment. I apologize in advance if and when I do that lol. Not trying to offend anyone. I just get busy or I’m not even interested in what I wrote anymore lol.

I also do not respond to everyone that comments but I do read every comment.

Thank you!

Different versions of this story keep popping up and the reader reactions are wildly opposites.
As a Florida resident, I see lots of media about our governor Ron DeSantis. That too has wildly opposite opinions about him. Months ago, I predicted he was being groomed to run for the 2024 presidential election and it appears he does lots of attention getting schemes to be seen and heard.
The most direct effect I've seen from him was being instrumental in getting vaccine distribution to many of the 55 and over communities. People around here still bring that topic up and as far as I see, he's liked for support of the elderly.

Recently, he's part of convincing Venezuelan asylum seeker undocumented immigrants from Texas to sign up and they will be transported to Boston in the Northeast where they will be offered housing, food and cash assistance. Pamphlets were printed in English and Spanish explaining the benefits and what was in store for them.
The plan was misrepresented as the immigrants ended up not where they were told, they would be relocated, instead they were placed (dumped) on the resort island of Martha's Vineyard in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

DeSantis claims responsibility for this. He also had the help of a former U.S. Army combat medic and counterintelligence officer Perla Huerta. Both of them are in the news.
Why? It would appear he's forcing an issue that nothing is being done about illegal immigration in the United States. The migrants became political props for his actions.

Ron... I think your point was made. One fatal part of your plan was to use funding from a different budget and transport/traffic asylum seekers across state lines.
I'm reading that lawsuit against you could cast a shadow while you wrangle out of this.

Sure they filled out consent forms before boarding on a plane. I think the word is duped.

Never in my lifetime did I ever expect to see the leaders of democracy, founders of 'Human rights' and everything that is 'Fair and Just' for all of mankind embrace the likes of the most evil present day Nazi regime in Ukraine.

Is it possible distance relationships turn into real ?

Has anyone else noticed that 'female' A.I.s seem more visually aesthetic/attractive than 'male' ones? Most of the females look and behave more human than humanoid, whilst most of the males look and behave more mechanical than humanoid. It's as though only men (and some women ) would favour seeing and interacting with an attractive A.I. robot of the opposite 'gender'.





Patriarchy strikes again!

"Wednesday 21st September 2022 (i.e. tomorrow) is the International day of Peace on this planet. The actual purpose of universal peace day is to foster acceptance by engaging all the people. It asks them to show their commitment towards peace by remaining non-violent. This day is an ambition to remove all the differences amongst each other and build a culture of peace everywhere." (https://internationaleventday.com/event/international-day-of-peace/)

Currently, "terrorism, hatred, violence and armed conflicts are the elements that have put drastic damage to the peace and economy of the world", and I wonder if their 'leaders' would put aside their differences, for peace sake, on that day. And even if they do, what's to stop them from resuming the violence on Thursday 23rd?

Does it really make sense to have a 'day' of peace? Perhaps a month or a year would be a better way of offering those who are involved in 'war' some more time for reflection, negotiation, etc, whilst observing a longer period of 'peace'. That would certainly be a welcome respite for those who aren't involved but are empathetic, and especially for those who are suffering directly because of it.


A 'day' of peace just isn't enough.

I've always been a 'fan' of the late Princess Diana and her two boys, William and Harry. Her death, like the Queen's, saw them having to be under much public scrutiny, and royal duties. This time their relationship is strained and William (albeit kind and diplomatic) seems wary about consoling his 'little' brother, because he's probably still 'sore' at him (and his wife Meghan).

Yesterday I read an article on the Yahoo News, and thought that the author was quite right. The heading said:

"Prince William, Prince Harry should put 'wives aside' and patch up their relationship: American Viscountess"

Here are a few excerpts:
*Julie Montagu, an American who is a viscountess, shared with Fox News Digital that there is hope in the U.K. that the brothers will reconcile as they were incredibly close and "leaned on each other" following the death of their mother, Princess Diana.
*Montagu shared that following Queen Elizabeth II’s death and her funeral, the general feeling for the people who support the monarchy is "bittersweet" seeing the two brothers back together. "It's about seeing the two brothers, the sons of Princess Diana, back together and hopefully reconciling and patching up that relationship that we know that they had before," Montagu said.
*"And definitely there is hope that the two brothers will come together," she said. "So I think there's this feeling over here in this country. ‘Let's just put the wives aside.’ We just want to see the brothers together."

If any real good comes out of the Queen's passing, I hope that it will be the RECONCILIATION between Will and Harry, even if their wives remain distant. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

It's a LOVE thing.
