Common Sense
“Common sense is not so common.” — Voltaire
Most of you, dear readers, believe in the power of words ... words to fight our oppressors. Your blogger tries to marshall these semantic soldiers to save our country from sinking further into perdition. But somehow, neither Fletcher nor any other scribe seems to be able to rise to Thomas Paine’s level of influence with his pamphlet “Common Sense.”
Is this because of the overcrowding of voices attempting to save us? Maybe ... but more likely it is the amount of control that our media moguls have over whose and which messages get mass circulation.
Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” story was disappeared by these media moguls right before the November election ... a frightening indication of their power.
Maybe we free voices should go back to passing out pamphlets like Thomas Paine? Or will the Masters of the Universe censor them too?

Vaccination Progress
(Bloomberg link updated daily around 5PM EST)
It looks like the vaccines are getting out to the states ... yet not into the arms of our most vulnerable ... see: Bloomberg Story. Why are things so slow in the states?
Afterthought: Holding vaccine in reserve for the follow-up shots seems misguided. Won’t much more vaccine be available in three weeks?

- Get a Moderna Covid vaccination

Critical Race Theory
You can lead a horse to water but trying to make it drink can lead to rough consequences. — Fletcher
Your blogger has read that all these Critical Race Theory indoctrinations run by woke schools and companies to cleanse attendees of their “white privilege” are often having exactly the opposite effect ... see: New Discourses Tract. Many previously accepting individuals leave with a new resentment of those they now see as their oppressors ... not their equals.
Instead of squelching racism ... these indoctrinations are stoking it ... a result of liberals, once again, not understanding human nature ... and trying to force feed results.

Most Admired American
OK Pilgrim ... time to duck! President Donald J. Trump has just been found by the Gallup organization to be the Most Admired Man in America ... not Barack Obama ... not LeBron James ... not John Kerry ... not Andrew Cuomo ... not Tom Brady ... not even the Basement Boy who “bested” Trump in our other national poll .... the November election (Joe Biden, that is).

You know Sneezy and Sleepy
And Happy and Grumpy,
And Dopey, Bashful and Doc.
But do you recall
The most famous tiny miner of all?
Bubba the red-nosed miner
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other miners
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Bubba
Join in any seven-dwarf games
Then one foggy mining day
Bashful came to say
Bubba with your nose so bright
Won't you be our mining light?
Then all the seven dwarves loved him
And they shouted out with glee
Bubba the red-nosed miner
You'll go down in history
(And stay away from Snow White!)

The Presidential Election
In your blogger’s estimation, there are four tranches of those reacting to this past presidential election ... roughly in equal proportions:
- Those who believe that the election was stolen with massive frauds perpetrated by the Biden campaign ... and this needs to be reversed ... or else our elections will be forever corrupted.
- The “you cant fight city hall” group who believe the election was stolen but resistance is futile because of the biased media and courts.
- Those who naively believe that the election was fair and square with little if any fraud.
- Those who believe the election was likely rigged ... but are loath to admit it out loud. They think such chicanery was justified to overthrow the evil twittering Trump. Unfortunately, two small men, former AG Barr and Chief Justice Roberts, seem to be in this camp.
I am firmly in the first group. Ridicule me if you must, you are only cutting your own throats. And my guess is that, if you gave sodium pentothlal to all American voters, well over half at least would agree that Biden stole this one from an immensely popular Trump ... no small feat!
For those of you kind readers locked in the last two categories, see: Woodsterman Video.

The Oracle at Mar-a-Largo
Watch out pilgrim ... here comes a heresy! President Trump is an oracle and a truth teller ... a compulsive seer... often contradicting the conventional trope that is claimed inviolate ... and he so angers those that benefit from these fictions, that they call him a liar.
Like, for instance, Trump has wisely said: “If you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country.” or “Why should we spend billions protecting Germany from Russia when they just built a pipeline to buy natural gas from Russia ... and not from the U.S.?” or “China is not our friend!” or “You want to build a better world at the cost of destroying America ? ... no, that’s not right!” or “Why should I believe in man-made global warming when all your computer models have been so wrong?”or “Why do Mideast peace deals require Palestinian approval?” or “The Iran nuclear deal was the worst agreement ever struck by the U.S.” and so on ...
The lefty media recognized early-on this Trump tendency to blurt out the truth (watch the movie”Liar”) and branded him a serial liar in order to try to blunt these truths. But most clear-thinking Americans see through this media smoke-screen and realize the veracity of many of Trump’s blurted revelations ... and that is why he is loved by millions ... for exposing the convenient, self-serving lies spoon-fed to us by America’s lefty elites.
It looks very much like Trump will be a one-term president. But, assuming Biden is not as stupid as he appears, it is doubtful that Trump’s truths can be unsaid. The American people and, presumedly a few Democrats, have seen the good things that Trump has done ... and will not reverse them.
If they do, then they will not only be destroying America ... but their once-great party too.
