ANOTHER NOT PRECISELY ON TOPIC, YET… Ellie Goulding’s “Burn” — Original versus Postmodern Jukebox cover.

Image
I  will say right off that I definitely prefer the PMJ cover. Sara Neimeitz  (center lead in PMJ version) is something of a fave of mine. She was also in the PMJ cover of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin ’.”   She actually got her start at age 4, when she got a chance to sing with BJ Thomas on stage . She actually knew the words to “Hooked on a Feeling.” Seventeen years later they reunited to record the song as a duet, and the year later they performed it on the Opry . ( A live performance here. ) ORIGINAL: PMJ COVER: LYRICS HERE.

In defense of future VP Vance: Even Purina takes shots at “cat ladies.”

Image
The “crazy cat lady” trope goes back generations. We all know what it means, and we all accept it. The “childless” adaptation was simply making his point. This Purina “We are Cat People” commercial — the one I have embedded on this page on the right hand panel — uses the phrase (with “ crazy”  — which you would think would be even more offensive than “childless”) repeatedly (go to 1:12 point). It’s targeted at people who have cats. And I’m sure a few of those people fit the profile Vance laid out. The video is still up after 12 years, so the company doesn’t seem to have received many complaints.

“Quantity has a quality all its own.” Hence 75 million patriotic Americans each with an official standard   baseline   - featureless   - fighting rifle is indeed a force that a regular military with full auto and such would find a genuine threat. 2A does have that collective factor as well.

President Trump’s 2024 RNC acceptance speech, with note to critics.

Image
Posted on complete video:  To critics: When you take a round to the head for the cause and come within millimeters of being killed by an assassin, you get to take as long as you want with your acceptance speech. If you wish to depart from the traditional style, and basically give the speech you were prevented from giving, you get to do that.  And particularly to those critics who have helped create the environment among his opponents that led to the assassination attempt, you have less than no right to complain. Just STFU. COMPLETE SPEECH: DISCUSSION OF ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT:

Simple slam-dunk debunking of “Trump staged assassination attempt” conspiracy theory (but with lesson for both sides).

Image
Obvious problem with the whole concept is that the Secret Service really actually was around there – no matter how badly they did. To stage something like that in the presence of a Deep State entity like that would be impossible. They would never go along with it. That said, it should serve to show people who have traditionally been “conspiracy theorists” how their approach is a two-edged sword. Blanket cynicism is foolish.

A common-sense headsup regarding Trump assassination attempt.

I wondered what to put on here about the attempted assassination of President Trump. I decided to address the shooter, and how Teabrained some conservatives are being. My comment (with typo corrections) related on a video HERE : The fellow was registered Republican. Yet, he donated to far-Left groups, and attempted to assassinate the Republican candidate for President. Obviously, his registration was so people couldn’t call him a Democrat when he did what he did. And the T-shirt was obviously to give his side talking points against [pro-gun or traditionalist] organizations.  Along these lines, an anti-gunner once said he wanted to join the NRA and then commit a mass shooting, just so the NRA could no longer say none of its members had ever committed a mass shooting.  Conservatives need to learn that liberals are a little more sophisticated than them sometimes. Think, folks. Think of it as a variation on false flag. Few practitioners think anyone is going to be actually foole...
