Out of exile!!

 Once more unto the breach...

Finally, after almost 6 long years the Geezer has come back to his chair.  I truly cannot believe that it has been this long since I wrote anything here, the dust was so thick on the old rocker that I wasn't sure it would come off! 

What can I say?  Re-reading some of my old posts I feel like amateur hour pointing out how "bad" things were back then.  They were the good old days.  I am pining for the days of Obama, how twisted is that.  

Tolkien must have been a prophet:  

“The world has changed.
I see it in the water.
I feel it in the Earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost,
For none now live who remember it.”

To say that the world has changed in the last 6 years is the understatement of understatements.  What has happened is a near complete overhaul.  The gloves and masks have come off.  The people that were just merely our "opponents" before, have truly become our enemies.  This is the position that they have carved out, not us.  This is not a fight that the right has chosen.  We were content to take baby steps and continue to chip away at the problems we saw.  By definition someone that is "conservative" tends to be reserved and does not normally react to things rashly.  Well, Covid ripped the band aid off all that.  The left has gone so crazy, that they cannot admit any lie, lest it expose whichever pet lie that they hold onto.  The truth as we have known it, is a thing of the past.  There is no truth anymore.  Whatever I want to be truth is truth, it is my truth, and you have your truth.  Of course, that idea is flexible as well.  If my truth involves anything that isn't PC or woke, then my truth is not just wrong, but its bigoted, or racist or homophobic or who knows what else and cannot be tolerated.  My thoughts and opinions cannot even be shared.  If you don't comply with these rules, then you are attacked and no longer is being discredited enough.  You must be destroyed.  The arena of ideas no longer has gladiators of debate.  Now the arena is full of fact checkers and snowflakes with banning buttons for anyone brazen enough to go against woke culture.  And all the while the fourth estate goes right along and makes public pariahs out of anyone that dares challenge wokeness.

We knew before that the mainstream media was not our friend.  We knew they had a hidden agenda.  Things that they talked about behind closed doors or within their inner circle.  But these things never were talked about openly.  Once and a while we would get a glimpse behind the curtain.  Project Veritas or a hot mic would catch them once in a while.  But it was Trump that took his finger and jammed it right in their faces.  Pointed their hypocrisy and false agendas out to the entire world.  He used his bully pulpit for just that, go after the fake news media.  He took a light and shone it into every hole and crevice, and those roaches went running like Forest Gump, for all the world to see.  So much so, that now they do not even hide it anymore.  Once they were exposed, it was like, oh well, you've seen the truth, might as well go for gold.  Now it is not just the media.  It is professional sports and huge corporations that are selling out to the tyrannical woke minority.  I don't trust anything that Disney puts out anymore.  And it hurts me to say that.  I eagerly anticipate the new Star Wars shows that they are making, with the "New Hope", I mean hope that they won't have woke crap strung through all of it.  They have killed the Marvel Universe for me.  Instead of just going to a movie or turning on a movie because it is the new "Avengers" movie, now I cringe wondering what garbage they have added to push this new agenda.

I went to an AHL hockey game this winter and it was "Pride Night".  All the players were wearing rainbow-colored jerseys and then they auctioned them off, to you guessed it, support gay pride.  I had to endure an entire month of the Detroit Red Wings twitter page being rainbowed up.  I went to a AAA baseball game where they advertised the upcoming "Pride Night".  I turned on the NY Mets game and on the digital wall behind home plate advertising "Pride Night" there.  Now this is just the gay agenda.  Don't get me wrong, there is plenty more woke agenda to go around, I am just using that as an example.

I think perhaps more than anything that has happened recently the one thing that absolutely made my head explode was Megan Rapinoe.  If what I am about to share does not completely encapsulate what I said before about not admitting one lie or it exposes them all.  Megan Rapinoe, former U.S. Olympic Soccer player, for those that the name may not ring a bell.  Ms. Rapinoe, who is a lesbian and an advocate for LGBT+ rights, feels that it is just A-OK for transgender men to compete in women's sports.  This is the same Megan Rapinoe that in 2005 began her college playing career, on full scholarship I might add, for the University of Portland women's soccer team.  The same Megan Rapinoe that has earned a living since 2009 playing women's professional soccer and then competing on the U.S. Olympic Women's Soccer Team.  The same team, with her on it, beaten in 2017 by FC Dallas under 15 boys' team.  Yet despite all that, despite getting a full ride to college, despite earning a living playing in a women's sport league.  Despite representing her country on a women's sports team, despite that team being beaten by a bunch of 15-year-old boys, she is for trans male athletes competing in women's sports.  Here is where it would have been nice to have a news media that actually had no agenda.  Where is this reporter?  "Ms. Rapinoe, what do you say to Ms. Smith that has been on your team for the last 3 years and just now lost her job because of Ms. Jones (formerly Mr. Jones) who is bigger, stronger, faster and plays better, (because he is really a man) than she does?"  Megan Rapinoe's entire adult life has been centered around soccer.  What happens to the women that invest all that time and effort, and they are cut from the team because a man claims to be a woman?  Their life's dream and work ended because of total and complete insanity!  If anyone should realize how amazingly blessed, she is, it should be Megan Rapinoe.  She has risen to the top of her profession.  She has made college teams, pro teams and Olympic teams because she is one of the best female soccer players in the United States.  Allowing men, in any form, to compete in women's sports will kill women's sports.  Good luck to my daughter's generation of female athletes after Charlie becomes Susan.

Well, that is it for today.  I've vented enough that I can't think of anything more to say for now.  If it takes me another 6 years to write something else, I hate to think where our country will be by then!
