Now, more than ever, the populace is in need of the Trivium.
It’s the last ditch defense against the onslaught of manipulative disinformation every individual must endure while we seek to survive on the battlefield of lies.
And as irony makes it’s final rounds, Summer has begun here, I am almost done with my outside chores for the season and what other true lies can I tell myself?
This younger generation needs to be lighten up, yet also toughen up too.
Have them watch “Blazing Saddles” a few times … those were the days when there were no sacred cows and everyone poked fun at one another, but we were still friends afterwards.
BTW … my favorite scene still is the one where “Mongo” punches out the horse.
Always look behind the words to see who is saying them…and why.
This is important for us up here with an election underway that will either help fix what’s been done the past few years or destroy us completely and make the country little more than a province of china instead of the the ’51st state’ the liebrals are depending on to win and that we’re going to hear so much of,
Our bought-and-paid-for media was out in force trying to trip Poilivere up with the ‘have you stopped beating your wife’ questions while playing the ‘english’ translation and then the french one at the same volume over top of what he was saying each time he spoke in either language so you couldn’t understand either of them…luckily he was made aware of that little trick and gave the same full speech as the answer to their first questions, to the dismay of the interviewers…and when the ykept prompting him ‘in french, he did the same thing so everyone heard him uninterrupte 🙂 blarney, of course, got pre-approved and scripted softball questions and could barely answer those, the debates should be fun…provided they have any.
Sorry, Chris. I’m not buying it. It was a very poor way to make a point.
You are confusing reader outrage with concern. You could have written ‘Vaccines cause Autism’, ‘5G causes Brain Cancer’ or any of the thousands of existing half-baked conspiracy theories and readers would have reacted in various ways.
Just another click-bait technique to generate controversy.
I’ll just stop reading the text because at this point you’re just writing nonsense to provoke readers.

Well played Chris, well played, indeed.
For those that did not see it coming, Occam’s Razor, Kalman Filtering, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics are your friends
Well done, Chris. Nice to know my level of cynicism is useful for something.
Yes, Who is on first.
Heh.
Ah, the internet…where even lies contain truth and truth is full of lies.
Even good smart people find that hard to grok. And that hurts a lot of good smart people. Ain’t nothing absolute.
Long way to go to get there CM, but worth the trip.
Well done short series there Chris. Thank you for the many years of provocative, mind bending & mind blowing story arcs.
And watering holes in the summer…..
Long time reader, occasional poster.
Bad law, like bad pennies, keeps coming back.
clear ether

Ooo, maybe we just shouldn’t make any more! 😉 Badhtah boom!

Well done indeed.
What happened to all those who were triggered and went all whup-ass on us, flashin’ their half-cocked “anti-Semite” at our artist?
Not convinced – still sounds like he’s channeling a squad member.
The squnts don’t believe in free speech.
Jim Stafford would be proud (….because she’s my girl, Bill.)
Zar Belk!
AI is the worst for “true lies”, but hey, it’s on the internet…. LOL

You’re welcome 🙂
Hot, but for pure riding crazy amazing, check out Superbike Blondie (Sarah Lezito). Damn.
DAMN! 🙂
Finally…

The turn. Bravo Zulu, Chris.
IHRA: also International Hot Rod Association.
But too bad it isn`t like that anymore, may
be coming back. Jimmy Failla is one of the
Best!

BTW … my favorite scene still is the one where “Mongo” punches out the horse.
G’day … and Godspeed to everyone.
“Mongo is pawn, in game of life”.
“Don’t know. Has to do with where choo-choo go…”
I particularly like the tollbooth scene.
Unthinking adherence to perceived authority with no means of enforcement.
I like the scene that start’s with Granny’s “Up yours, N!@@er”
and ends with “You know, Morons!”
Toldja so. It was a test. Some passed, others didn’t. If you fly off the handle of your high horse the hard ground will get you.
Well, Ace just headlined what Chris displayed for the past days.
Well Done, Sir!
I admit, you caught me. But at least I asked for a source and didn’t swallow it just because someone I like said it.
I detest the very concept of “hate speech.” I want to know who is saying what about whom. I want to hear a rattlesnake before it strikes.
BINGO !!!

I wish I had more confidence Poilievre was actually going to save Canada rather than just continuing the “managed decline” until China can take over.
Nice mic drop!
