Watched the last two depressing episodes of Ken Burn's cancelculturefest bio of Toxic Hemingway. The good news is we will have lots of Pence and Trumplet books to read. For Whom The Cash Register Rolls. cnn.com/2021/04/07/pol…
Hemingway is hard to read but no one can take away the books even if the myth got beat up by a skinny old guy in a child actor's toupee. Pretty much everything in the doc about "Papa" is terrible, embarrassing, dastardly and ugly. I hope we don't lose Shakespeare to Me Too.
It was good filmmaking but it left out the PR aspect of authors and publishers that are often required to sell books. Hemingway embellished his story's because his audience wanted more. A warning to those who want their work stand on its own. Even if it doesn't sell as well.
But back to Pence Books. Compare the upcoming publishing million dollar ramblings of the handmaiden radio host to the published works of another Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt. BTW Great thoughts, all free to the curious. archive.org/details/workst…
Roosevelt wrote his safari in 1909 for Scribners, Hemingway did his in 1933. Roosevelt was channeling the dime novels and the end of the wild, untamed world. Hemingway was just channeling something that was out of fashion. When he did it again in the 50's he literally crashed.
So here's to the head knocked drunk who was raised dressed as a girl who dared to write a book of short stories called "Men Without Women". pbs.org/kenburns/hemin…
And although we must admit that Bad Papa added art and culture to our nation's self image, we must admit the book industry is happy to publish dull infomercials for political morons under the guise of literature. . abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/p…

At this point the Republican party seems to be gaslighting itself. Or the King of Whore-a-Lago is grifting so hard the GOP minions can't find other sources of funds. fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-t…
I Dictator Donny can convince the slope pated cultists that he won the election, why wouldn't they continue on that successful but fictional trajectory? But wait...Democrats are not entirely convinced elections aren't rigged. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…
This poll taken right after the Capitol Riot shows not just doubt about elections but dislike for politicians. And a similar number in the Bush Jr election (hanging chad) A natural distrust of government and politicans that can be exploited by both sides. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2045… ImageImage

“Woke” in quotes is a MAGAtard invention. “Triggered” aka Karen’s are beasts of the right. “Antifa” is what fuels their fear. At some point they will have their own cult language and their own social media platform but will require cultural advisors to communicate to the left.
Creating verbal flags to outrage sociographic profiles looks more like cult recruiting than marketing. Americans want to be safe, healthy and protect themselves from the pandemic. The need to divide and mislead a political cult over a health issue is irresponsible and deadly.
Stupidity and confusion is actually built in to Q messaging. Much like cults and sects had secret communication tools to identify themselves. It doesn't mean it's smart but becomes a linguistic and communications style. Where is Dan Brown these days?

The 70's called. They want their design motif's back. It will look good parked in my all electric home from GE.
I am happy for GM. They said they "sold out" the first run. If they had asked me to design it I would have included an 8-track and a vinyl roof. Maybe a little more vinyl wood to add class.
Retro cars are a sign of fear and lack of self confidence in design. Some like the BMW pull it off, others kinda make you feel sad that there is no more innovation in the joy of transportation. These retro inspired cars are also tiny and simliar looking.

RYP teaser re Jordan Kiddy Koup Kerfuffle. The Jordanian intel service and Kushner have always had a copy of what the 2018 coup would look like to disrupt signals, and use small helos and mercs to quickly seize the King and his entourage to allow Hamza to step up. Wait... 2018? Image
A plan and a memo was put together before the Libyan job to find, control and sequester the King and his support network in support of his forced abdication. When Durrant aka "Gene Rynback" and his men rocked up in Amman in June it was assumed it was the Jordan coup, not Libya.
This coup was structured to benefit Feisal and Hamza with backign from the UAE/ KSA. It was the discussion of implementing this plan that triggered recent action. Just like the 2019 coup attempt in Libya did. Just like Prince was picked up in the 2017 Seychelles on intercepts.
