Disappearing

Quite frankly, there are dangerous people and institutions in the world. They are looking to control your life what you see, what you read, what you think. It starts with Google’s surveillance marketing. If you take your smart phone around with you, they know where you are. Stop. These megalomaniacs just say they want to show your product tastes to companies who might have products of interest to you. Maybe. Maybe they know what church you attend, the school your children or grandchildren attend, whether or not you vote and where. At first blush, all seemingly innocuous, if not slightly creepy

But this is about power and egomaniacal people, devoid of any moral compass.

#stereotypes

I am sick and tired of seeing commercials where men (humans with a penis and testicles) are scrubbing floors, doing laundry and changing diapers and women (humans with a uterus and ovaries) are in engineering school, on the other side of the coin.

Now I do housework, laundry, and have changed a diaper or two in my day. I am happy to do housework and consider changing my children’s diapers one of the great privileges of my life. And if women want engineering degrees, fine.

But the fact that some 21st Century Iterations of Mad Men (Persons) are trying to do social engineering to fit their vision of what the country should be like, while selling Swiffers,and proprietary schools in the process, really frosts my butt.

As I posted earlier, I am not a nice guy.

#Project Veritas

I have been binge-watching James O’Keefe and Project Veritas videos on YouTube.

The Deep State videos on operatives in the Federal Government now being published on YouTube show that bad actors are subverting the Trump Administration through doing political work on the job, violating the Hatch Act, for starters. O’Keefe’s work is nothing short of heroic, in addition to being pretty funny at moments.

#The Holy Rosary

“Pray The Rosary every day”, admonishes a Catholic traditionalist activist. “No excuses.”

He is, of course, right. The Rosary affirms that Our Lady listens to us, prays with us, intercedes for us. By extension The Rosary affirms that Jesus Christ, Second Person of The Most Holy Trinity, hears our prayers and the intercessions of His Blessed Mother. Catholicism (Christianity) is about supernatural faith. God is alive. He hears us. The practice of our Faith is not a dry frivolous exercise of rituals and entreaties into a silent void. If anyone tells you otherwise, run, do not walk, away.

Evil is at work. Pope Leo XIII told us explicitly after a vision he had of Satan telling Our Blessed Lord that he could destroy His Church in a hundred years. The corruption of the Church is evidence of Satan working overtime.

If you are Catholic, pray The Rosary. If you have never prayed The Rosary, start now.

#Timothy Kaine (D-VA), #Walk Away

I can’t help but think that if duelling were still legal in this country, both Houses of Congress, would face serious challenges finding a quorum to commence deliberations. Lies and insults appear to rule the day, the more “esteemed” the Congress Member, the more scurrilous the lie.

The bald-faced lies about Judge Brett Kavanaugh, foisted by the octogenarian Anti-Catholic bigot Diane Feinstein, sicken me. They have strengthened my resolve to NEVER vote for a Democrat again.

I was already soured on the party I regularly supported by the antics of James Comey, and the rest of the Department of Justice personnel who sought to overturn a lawful election through the promotion of the spurious Steele Dossier and subsequent deception of the FISA courts.They lied to violate the Civil Rights of an innocent American, Carter Page. That is just for starters.

If I lose followers, I don’t care. I changed the name of the blog to Dispatches From Dystopia, because the Leftists (Marxists) who run the mainstream media and academia, have rendered America into precisely that state, a dystopia. They have nearly taken control of the Democratic Party, I suspect.

Sen Timothy Kaine, I earnestly desire your complete political demise. I will support Corey Stewart because he isn’t you.

Home Again.

Posted by David in Florida, The Villages

≈ 2 Comments

It has been a period of sorting out my thoughts and feelings around Florida and The Villages. The Villages, like much of Florida is an Old Geezer Monoculture. When Mrs CorC? and I shared a chicken nuggets meal at the local Chick-Fil-A tonight, we noticed more small children there than we did in the entire past week in The Villages. That I don’t like. The Villages is like living on a movie studio back lot. They built 3 little “village squares” with three different themes, The West, a sea port, and a “Spanish” town square. They are very nice, but very fake. The senior citizens pride themselves on being active adults. The concept is that active seniors live longer with a better quality of life. I can’t argue with that premise.

The Villages are neat, clean, and well-maintained. The grass is mowed. There is no trash. I immediately noticed the roadside litter as we drove home from the airport in Richmond. When I consider that my brother-in-law and his wife moved from the traffic-swollen DC suburbs of Northern Virginia, I can’t blame them at all. There is no debate on the question.

It doesn’t appear to be an outrageously expensive community. That is a plus.

Riding from The Villages to the Orlando airport on the shuttle bus, we saw billboard after billboard from a plaintiff’s attorney proclaiming “Dan Got Us $600,000!”(or more). Kinda creepy.

My favorite billboard promoted a tourist destination called

Machine Gun America

Fun For The Whole Family

Fire Real Machine Guns!

I can imagine the family firing their rental Tommy Guns

“Junior, help Granny with her Uzi!”

“Watch that barrel climb, Sis!”

Just how badly do I want to live there?

# ALS, # The Villages # Golf

I am in The Villages, Florida. It is a mega-retirement complex with lots of golf courses, golf carts, and retired types who golf. I do not golf. Among the other activities is drinking. I do not drink. The Villages have a reputation for high incidences of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. I don’t engage in promiscuous sex. So what’s a fella to do?

1) Visit my brother-in-law and note the progress of his Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). It’s a bitch of a disease but he and his wife are dealing with it with grace and courage. Truly inspiring.

2). Sit in the air conditioning, just like at home.

3). Go walking. There are interesting birds. This is a great blue heron, I tbink. He did not divulge any information about his identity.

When we sit in the lenai at my brother-in-law’s, we can make out the form of an alligator, just below the surface of the water in the pond. There are other birds, egrets, loons, and ducks.

All in all, very peaceful. But I want to go back to Virginia and Hurricane Florence (Henderson? A Brady Bunch homage?)
