Old Curmudgeon Speaks

Guest Post by Visayas Outpost

Stream of conscience channeling The Old Curmudgeon, who I always imagine looks like Clint Eastwood.  This was written sometime during ’21, and recently edited.

Sometimes I think about what we’ve lost, and it makes me wanna spit nails.  Some of you may still think there is freedom, but that is just an illusion.  Consider the fact that you literally cannot leave your country without someone’s permission.  In lockdown conditions, your zone of travel may even be reduced to your state or city.  You’ve heard about 15-minute cities — don’t need me to tell you.   Consider that they protect some weasel’s right to burn the flag, but take away your right to say what you want.  Think it’s not that bad yet?

THE TRUMP DOCTRINE: WE’RE A BITCH, AMERICA!

Fixed it.

Many of Donald Trump’s critics find it difficult to ascribe to a president they consider to be both subliterate and historically insensate a foreign-policy doctrine that approaches coherence. A Trump Doctrine would require evidence of Trump Thought, and proof of such thinking, the argument goes, is scant. This view is informed in part by feelings of condescension, but it is not meritless. Barack Obama, whose foreign-policy doctrine I studied in depth, was cerebral to a fault; the man who succeeded him is perhaps the most glandular president in American history.

Stucky QOTD: Why Can’t Trump Be More Like Putin?

I gots me some real man-love for Putin, and Russia.

How, as a ‘Murican can this be? Aren’t they our #1 enemy? After all, they interfered with our elections!! Invaded Ukraine!! Stole Crimea!! Commies!! They’re trying to kill us with borscht!!

Better yet, I am a first generation Austrian. Perhaps deserved, perhaps not … but the brutalization of Germans towards the end of WWII, and immediately afterwards, was epically horrendous. They raped my mom in their prison camp and, except for her brother, murdered her family. They captured my dad. At 93 years old, he still won’t mention a damned thing about it. I’m guessing it wasn’t a fun experience.

Well, four reasons.

Post-Christmas Chaos Strikes America’s Malls: SWAT, Gunfire, & Mass Brawls From Texas To New Jersey

Two days ago, we reported that heading into Christmas, countless “mall brawls” had broken out across America’s as last minute holiday shoppers were filmed fighting with each other in shopping malls in New Jersey, Alabama, Georgia and other states for those last minute “holiday cheer” purchases. The videos made for for a very Unmerry Christmas.

Now, in the spirit of holiday symmetry, following the one day lull on Christmas Day, the brawls returned on the day after Christmas, with fights, disturbances and false reports of gunfire causing chaotic scenes and shutting down several malls across the United States on Monday, as shoppers scrambled for the best deals in the typically busy post-Christmas shopping day.

The first calls from the The Mills at Jersey Gardens came in just after nightfall Monday. Witnesses said they thought they had heard shots fired. That, along with a fight, led to what Elizabeth police Officer Greg Jones described as a “chaotic panic and everybody running all at once.”  Eight to 10 people suffered minor injuries during a melee in the food court at the Jersey Gardens malls the mayor there said on Twitter.

Panic followed when someone shouted “gun,” after a chair hit the ground, causing a loud noise in the mall’s food court, Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage tweeted.
