Don Surber: Why is Buttigieg a Democrat then?: Mike Pence was governor of Indiana in 2015 when Democrat Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend came out of the closet as gay amid a controversy...
Comment:
I suppose this is a bit off my intended target a bit, but what a name! You might say he is a Butt of jokes. Bwah, hah, hah!
It is even more hilarious that this guy is homosexual. He's a Butt-boy alright.
Okay, back off the levity a bit.
Why is conservatism failing right now? Or is it? I think it is. If you click through the link, you arrive at the point of asking since Butt-boy thought the law was wrong, then why is he a Democrat? It was the Democrats who passed the law, says Surber ( Religious Freedom Restoration Act. ) That is pure logic and rationality for an argument. The Democrats are no longer in that mode, if they ever were. Therefore, how does it reach Butt-boy? It won't. It is preaching to the choir. Words, logic, and reason no longer reach these people. Something else is required.
I was just thinking of how white people get pushed around this morning. An example is a video that I got off the TV show called Ray Donovan. It was about "Twerking". (I won't link to the video.) The reason is that is full of obscenity. My point is that we have Katie Couric types saying that Trump had "done" things, but she doesn't seem to see the irony of that argument when you consider this video. In that video, the woman uses all kinds of language that would supposedly make Katie turn five shades of crimson. That kind of language is off-limits to Katie and her friends, but why isn't it off-limits to the black chick? That chick is using every bad word you can think of. So, why is that okay?
Then, you take that, and the usual complaint about double standards. Hey, you cannot get mad if you are white. You cannot criticize the degradation of society unless you want to be called racist, bigot, or homophobe. Yet, we have so many on the so-called conservative side who are all-too-willing to join up with the left in this continued degradation. So, they play along and accept all their premises. Where does this lead us? Surber uses the word "gay" in reference to homosexuals. That is accepting their premise while ostensibly arguing against it.
So, Mike Pence "turned the other cheek" when Butt-boy got feisty. Wrong answer! It seems that too many of the so-called conservatives are letting the Butt-boys preempt them, and talk them into accepting all of their premises. Hey, if you are a Christian, you have to take a whoop ass without saying a word. You gotta turn that cheek. Let's make a virtue out of cowardice.
So, Butt-boy is now defining what is a Christian. The conservatives are mute, turning the other cheek, like Pence. Sorry, that doesn't get the job done. Arguing with logic and reason, like Surber did isn't enough, either.
The thing that really bothers the Katie Couric types is that they are being shown up for the cowards that they are. But that is Katie Couric. Mike Pence is in a more responsible position. I'm disappointed. Pence is Trump's number two man. He needs to act more like the boss.

What the Democrat National Convention is looking like

It is from the "New Hope" episode. Catchy slogan for 'em, eh?

What is "code-switching"? Well, AOC may know something after all. I'm so glad to be educated now.
Funny, she even looks like a Gungan. The eyes have it!

Diana West Interview
by Stefan Molyneaux posted on The Last Refuge
Hey, something is cooking out there folks.
Check out what she says in this section about the alleged hacking of the emails. There could be a spectacular revelation here waiting to be discovered, if only somebody would look into it. But there is an effort to say "no, you can't go there".
What I am getting about here is Seth Rich's murder. If you want to look at something that involves conspiracy to commit a crime, there you are. But if you were to bring it up, you are a conspiracy theorist. So, what exactly is the Russian Collusion theory?????
Turnabout is fair play.
The rest of the video can be seen at the Last Refuge. It is posted there. Have a look, please.
By the way, she drops a few names that I've seen before. No, not the obvious ones, but another.
Update several hours later:
Why would Seth Rich be murdered? To answer that question, let's look at the "insurance policy" in case of a Trump victory. There was a need to protect themselves in case of a Trump victory. If Rich was the source of the Wikileaks emails, then that goes away early in the story. In other words, it ruined their plans. The Russians had to be blamed. They could not afford it to be an internal leak. Rich had to be silenced.

Can of worms
Updated,
4.7.19:
Dead men don't talk, so I have heard. That goes for women as well, I am sure.
That reminds me of something... Do we know who killed Seth Rich????
Now that Mueller has been seen shooting blanks, perhaps they can train their guns in that direction, hmmm?
4.2.19:
The lady files suit, and the mob "settles out of court". Asked about the deal, the lady was unavailable for comment.

Rick Beato's story
It is his own story in his own words. The story is how he became the guy in the video that I just put up.
When I was listening to his story, I got the impression that he was "following his bliss". That phrase of following one's bliss, is something I remember reading about in one of Joseph Campbell's talks with Bill Moyer. It was turned into a book called the Power of Myth.
So, what does it all mean? The hell if I know. Like I wrote yesterday, so much of life is a mystery. We don't necessarily know the road that we take, or even why. If you know that you are following your bliss, you know about as much as you may need to know. That's what I got out of this video.

What makes this song great?
According to Rick Beato
The song is Whole Lotta Love by the rock band called Led Zepellin. The song was released in late 1969. Of course, almost everyone should know about this song, if you are into rock and roll. No need for further introduction.
As for Rick Beato, he has a lot of videos that I've watched, but this is the first one that I've blogged about. He is quite knowledgeable, so it is definitely worth watching. The thing he does is break down the song in all of its elements, and puts it all back together again. What he does gives you a greater appreciation of what was done to make the song.
I've written this before, so I might as well mention it again. At one time, I was attempting to learn to play guitar. One thing that I got out of this video is why you can never get that sound. The sound came from the studio. No way that they could reproduce this in a concert hall. At least, not in all of its intricate detail. You would need a bunch of people who reproduced all the sound effects, and those people would have to be different from the people who actually did the original recording.
In other words, at lot of this is artificial. Just my opinion, folks. No intention to downgrade the song, just that it is what it is.
