Reg the Fronkey Farmer

Jake,

I’m waiting for Vick’s Formula 44 to be served at MAGA/MAHA dinners, maybe in 40 Oz. bottles:

Reg,

With the proviso, of course, that “white” is all colors and shades of the visible light spectrum unrefracted by a prism.

Fortunately, this trash doesn’t need separate bins for recycling and repurposing.

Jake,

Be careful of getting earwurms. It might turn you into a certain junkie lawyer who plays a Doctor on TV and claims his bionic electron microscope eyes can detect “mitochondria issues” just by looking. You might also think your stomach is bulletproof against e coli, Trichinae, salmonella and any other nasty bugs carried by raw milk.

From Pope:

“Awesome observation, it’s not just the lefty white trash.”

Hell no! I see far left and far right as mirror images although the far right is sans putative rationale. It is naked authoritarianism. Yea it capitalizes on the excesses of the far left but it has as its champion you know who. I honestly don’t think anyone who is the l…[Read more]

Ya goddamn white trash. Ya goddamn white trash.

Oops sorry i was singing.

Mirror images of stupidity far left and right. You goddamn white trash. Woops. Sorry. I got an earwurm somehow or other. On the positive side Free Palestine and globalize the intifada are intended to further the mythical state of Palestine and spread into every corner of…[Read more]

Both MAGA and Anti-MAGA think in group-oriented ways. The Anti-MAGA espouse racial, ethnic, sexual, gender and class identity politics and the MAGA react with their own brand of identity politics. And both assume their desired group identity has monolithic interests and both tolerate no dissent.

Enco, that’s a good depiction of where it’s at. Nei…[Read more]

Simon,

I’ve heard that before. Also that Trump supporters tend to think in a very group-oriented way, they think that groups have to compete, and that their group has to win.

Reg,

World of Woo: Why wind farms attract so much misinformation.

It is indeed Woo that wind energy makes the whales loco and ruins the scenery (which RFK Jr also said for 20 years about proposed wind energy projects off Nantucket Sound, back when Leftie Eco-Wackos loved him.)

But, come on, the term “windmills” is no more hokey than “wind…[Read more]

I almost posted that history vid.

The historian being interviewed seems reasonably intelligent.

I think Bill Maher mentioned this recently. It may have been a different family. But a similar event. A family found Arizona to be “too woke” so they moved to Texas, only to find it was just not conservative enough for them. So they sold everything and gave their money to the poor moved to Russia. WTF!

This article is more than 10 years old, but it explains a lot, like how in the world does he get so much support within groups you’d think shouldn’t support him: ethnic minorities and women among others.

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Have a great week!!

Fellow Unbelievers,

I say all this to take the edge off of the obvious and not so obvious facts about the horror that happened in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

Magic words, whether thoughts or prayers, said to anyone, whether “Gods” or humans, whether singular, intercessionally, or in prayer circles, cannot predict how the worst human beings will act,…[Read more]

Reg,

“Fuck it” is, like fucking prayer, a fucking placebo, since “fuck it” wouldn’t stop the fucking frostbite resulting from extended fucking soaking of your fucking hand in fucking cold water!

That’s the fucking evidence-fucking-based findings of the Winter-Fucking-Semester fucking researchers at the Fucking Uni-Fucking-Versity of Fucking…[Read more]

Praying is pathetic.

Prayer is neither here nor there.

Say Fuck it if you dare.

I don’t care.

Prayer effectivity is a very straight-forward hypothesis to test.  And well, one would think that Mississippi and Alabama would have streets paved with gold by now.
