Random Notes on the New Normal, High Summer 2021

It’s been great, if a little hot, weather-wise. We’re getting rain and that’s what counts.

 

I used to hang my facemasks over my music sheet stand close to my desk. Last week I put them in my winter sock drawer. I’m sorry to hear of resumed lockdown mania going on in Canada and Europe, but as far as the San Luis Valley of Colorado is concerned, the Great Scamdemic Terror of 2020-21 is over. No one even talks about it much anymore.


Boy, that sure took long enough, though, didn’t it? Again, I’m sorry for all of those living where the local tyrants refuse to give up their power to immiserate their peoples.

Another encouraging sight as the smoke clears is no one gloating over President Trump losing his re-election. Nobody I know so much as pretends senile dementia patient Joseph Biden is in his right mind, let alone in charge. No one I know on Facebook who gloated over Trump’s defeat in November has anything to say about how great things are with Biden in the White House. Most telling, they don’t say, “At least we have someone who knows what he’s doing and isn’t a worldwide embarrassment.” They can’t, and they know it.


The only nice thing to say is, “No more mean tweets,” which is a most effective line for rubbing in Biden voters buyers’ remorse. Sure, President Trump was loud and crude but we were paying a full dollar less for gas if not more. Then there’s all the other stuff going on. Things are only getting worse on all fronts and they know it.

Curiously, no one on either side of the political divide seems remotely curious as to who’s really running things. I must admit, I’m not all that fussed about it myself. It suffices for me to know that no one I see on video is in charge of anything. Not even dear Dr. Fauci, the Only Begotten Son of Science. They people are taking their orders from a nameless, faceless, unelected Committee. And these technocrats, whoever they are, truly, madly, deeply hate Western Civilization and the people who built it. That’s all.


The funniest thing about this is the Vice President. You’d think the media would be making a bigger deal about our First Female-Identifying Vice President (with pronouns in her Twitter bio, no less). You’d think they’d be prepping the public for her taking over the presidency in the likely event Biden dies before the end of his term. As it turns out, Kamala Harris is so charmless, so gormless, she has to be kept out of the camera’s eye even more than poor, doddering old Biden.


Whether or not they bother replacing her remains to be seen, though. Something I’ve noticed about the media faces of the faceless cabal who somehow seem to be running everything, from the government to the military, academia, entertainment, etc., is how sleazy and unattractive they are. Biden was a senator famous for making stupid remarks while quietly enriching himself and his family. The first time he ran for President he had to withdraw when it came out he’d plagiarized something in college.


There was a time, by the way, when plagiarism was the most heinous thing you could do outside of a sex crime. I’m not exaggerating. Your reputation was trash, your hopes of a career were over. Unless, that is, you are already ensconced in the United States Senate. Fortunately, there is a statute of limitations (who knew?), and Biden ran again for President. Biden somehow got on Barack Obama’s ticket and enjoyed eight years of enriching himself and his family as Vice President. He groped children on camera but, luckily for him, some very powerful people hated loud, bombastic Donald Trump more than they hated a mediocre career-crook politician who gropes children on camera.


What I don’t get is this Committee apparently has money and pull to beat the band—they own Hollywood!—yet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the best they could come up with to front them. To see those soulless eyes on Jen “Circle Back” Psaki and know she’s the White House’s press liaison makes me wonder if there isn’t something more to that joke about these creatures being lizard people in skin suits. For all their money and pull, this was the best they could do? I’m sure Tina Fey, who is far more quick-witted and attractive, would have been honored to take the job.


This is what we’re stuck with for now, though. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Not taking your freaky experimental gene modifier you’re calling a vaccination, either. The science is settled.
