Resistance

A man is known by the company he keeps -- Aesop


Some of you dear readers fashion yourselves as members of the "Resistance" ... or those who dislike, even despise President Trump. This is not an insignificant cadre. It involves most of Hollywood, many athletes, much of the Main Stream Media, many foreign leaders, Pelosi Democrats, and even many establishment Republicans. Quite a formidable group!

However, the Resistance also includes:

- Peter Fonda who wants Baron Trump to be placed in a cage with a pedophile. And Trump's DHS Secretary, Kristjen Nielsen should be placed naked in another cage and poked with sticks by passer-bys. (A little too Freudian, no?)

- Kathy Griffen who pretends to cut off Trump's head and proudly holds up this bloody trophy.

- Stephan Colbert who says on TV that Trump sucks Putin's cock ("cock holster")

- ANTIFA has published on the Internet the names and home addresses of ICE agents

- Sarah Silverman who openly called for a "military coup" against Trump

- Democratic Socialists of America protesters  drove Ms. Nielsen from a DC restaurant and, the next day, surrounded her home shouting threatening messages.

- Occupy Wall Street is advocating the killing of ICE agents

- Madonna, at the Women's March, said  she wanted to blow up Trump's White House

- Joy Behar of "The View," when she heard about someone dying in a Trump Tower fire, hoped it was President Trump

- A number of FBI agents and DOJ officials who actively worked to "stop" Trump being elected ... and likely used the power of their agency to do so .. and some may still be trying to oust him.

- Countless CNN, MSNBC and over-the-air TV channel anchors who have likened Trump to Hitler, Musolimi, a Nazi, KKKer, "f-you's", etc.


The list goes on and on and on ... ate you Resisters happy to be associated with this pond scum?

Misandry

Misandry -- I had to look this term up ... since I had never seen it before. It means "hatred of men" ... the obverse to the term "misogyny," the hatred of women ... a well-known and well-used pejorative for those brutish, testosterone-laden rapists who populate every campus and the halls of Congress.  Now we have a president who easily typifies the male animal and thus has become a target of many of those who did not vote for him. Clearly he has brought much of this vitriol upon himself with some of his comments during his campaign and the "pussy" locker-room reference caught on a hot mic. But it is beginning to feel like the continuing reaction to these missteps are disproportionate ... particularly when compared to how Bill Clinton behaved and was treated when president ... and seemingly still is.

Of course it is only a subset of these marching women who are misandrists ... but just reading many of their anti-male signs and hearing the star-studded rhetoric there leads me to conclude that it was a meaningful theme on display. In particular, Ashley Judd, Madonna, and Gloria Steinem did not hold back when they castigated our current president ... see: UK Sun Story. Even that woman who was thrown off that airplane for her loathsome attack on a Trump supporter demonstrates the unhinged behavior that I think falls into the misandry category ... (e.g., she didn't attack the man's wife who also supported Trump) ... see:Fox News Video.

Perhaps these women have misandry not just for men, but rather particularly for Republican men? Can we invent a new term for this hatred? How about "misgopry"?

I know, I know ... Hillary Clinton and her band of Amazons and pajama boys can accuse Trump voters of misogyny and dozens of other deplorable hate crimes and be forgiven .... but my suggesting here that a good dollop of the Women's Marchers are harboring misandric thoughts is worse than Madonna calling for the White House to be blown up. I understand the current double standard. And I know that the brick bats will be forthcoming. I hope I remember to duck.

Hot Flash!

Katy Perry and Madonna are getting naked to promote Hellary Clinton's presidential candidacy ... see: Billboard Story. It escapes me why seeing the flabby nude bodies of two self-promoting, over-the-hill, no-talent, and (one) hot-flashing bimbos would cause anyone to vote for the consigliere of the Clinton crime family. Maybe it is a plaintiff plea to keep her from following their unsuiting stunt?

Out of Outrage

It seems that pop stars like Madonna, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga have hyped the sales of their songs and concerts with outrageous stunts and cross-culture controversy ... simulated sex, twerking, screwy costumes, breaking all sorts of social norms, and anything else that the twisted creative minds of these poop stars' posses could invent. However, it now seems that the well of creative outrage is drying up because Madonna's latest performance album, "Rebel Heart" has hit the wall ... its lead single "Living for Love" only ranks 529th on the amizon.com popularity charts ... despite some silly promotional shenanigans such as unauthorized "leaks" ... see: Showbiz 411 Story.

I guess that eventually a manipulated public wises up ... either through boredom or maturation. Whereas old pop stars, since their singing is usually only marginal, fade from view when they run out of ways to be outrageous. How wonderfully quaint!

Kim Jong None

Kim Jong-un and his now-perforated former lover

The despotic leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un has apparently been reading up on his English history … particularly regarding Henry VIII’s way of dumping females who displeased him.  It seems that this pasty-faced roly-poly ... having decided to erase his former lover and her musical posse … had all twelve of them shot (supposedly for pornography) in a machine-gun firing squad over a week ago (see: UK Telegraph Story).

Miley Cyrus with an itch

Travel tip for Miley Cyrus, Madonna and Lady Gaga – North Korea may not be the ideal place to perform your on-stage attempts to out-gutter one another … particularly if Kim Jong-un is in attendance.

Transference

Sigmund Freud identified an interesting twist in the spectrum of human emotions which he labeled “transference.”  This was the tendency of those being psychoanalyzed to view their psychoanalysts as all-knowing and all-seeing … and thus an object of veneration (frequently falling in love with them.)

Siggy baby had it right … but he didn’t nearly go far enough.  It seems that our society today engages in a wide variety of illogical transference-like emotions.  We view successful investors (such as Warren Buffet) as super-experts in taxing policy.  We view movie stars (such as Sean Penn) as super-experts on international relations.  We view pop singers (such as  Madonna) as super-experts on child-raising.  We view comedians (such as Jon Stewart) as super-experts in news commentary.  We view the spouses of legislators (such as Clair McCaskill) as super-experts on law-making. 

And we view consummate politicians (you pick your favorite) as super-experts in governance.  (I guess I have also to add that we view successful venture capitalists as super-experts in politics.)

Squibs

Squibs are tiny explosive devices often used by Hollywood to simulate bullet hits to inanimate or animate objects in a movie. The following are a few teeny mind-poppers that I have found interesting in my morning romp through the dew-strewn Internet:

- Best reason to vote for Romney – Madonna has threatened to bare it all if Obama wins his quest for another four years of self-indulgence … see: TheHill Story.

- Iran is accusing the International Atomic Energy Agency (an arm of the U.N.) of passing on secrets of its nuclear-enrichment program to Israel … see: Reuters Story. The obvious question is … if Iran is just processing this uranium for electricity-generation and medical applications ... as it professes, why would it have any state secrets for which it felt a need to protect?

- A drug-testing technician here in Massachusetts has been found to have had bogus credentials. This has thrown thousands of drug convictions that relied on her testimony into question … see: ENews Story. I can understand the chagrin of the state’s judicial process over this disclosure … with the threat of many drug convictions being overturned … including many who have already pleaded guilty. Many who have already pleaded guilty?? … are we nuts???

- Brazil now recognized three-person hook-ups a legal civil unions … see: Breitbart Story. I can see the legal entanglements arising out of this silly precedent as growing exponentially. But then I foresaw this same outcome for same-sex marriage. What do I know?

- On The View this past week President Obama referred to himself as “eye candy” ... see: Reuters Story . What kind of candy Barry? Nonpareils? Red Hots? Can our President get even more vacuous in his attempt to reach that uninformed voter group that Jay Leno interviews in his Jaywalking segments?

Nervy

Georgia O'Keeffe's hands

I recently watched the movie, Georgia O’Keeffe, in which both she and her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, suffered “nervous breakdowns” at different points in the film. Now, when was the last time you heard of someone suffering a nervous breakdown? But, in the early 1900’s it seemed to be a plague. Didn’t Zelda, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wife, suffer numerous bouts of this malady along with most of the rest of our nation’s glitterati. I even seem to recall that my mother had one before I was fully conscious of the world about me.

Back then, when one had a nervous breakdown, one retired to one’s boudoir to be pampered and fussed over … and to be served consommé and madolines for a few weeks until one was oneself again. I am intrigued by this apparent societal construct that has gone the way of the Ad Men four martini lunches. Were these nervous breakdowns just bouts of clinical depression … now treated with numerous pharmacologies? Or were they drug or alcohol benders … now treated by numerous Betty-Ford-type clinics? Or perhaps even just colossal self-indulgences ala Madonna. Whatever they were, they seemed to have slipped beneath the waves of our modern wired society. Too bad! No longer can we take to our bed and be spoon-fed hot tea and given toast points and be read to from Proust by our doting acolytes.
