Cats, Guns, and National Security

(3:18-7:21 in video).  These ladies, especially Kosha Gada, put the issue of Walz’s Stolen Valor into a somewhat more practical perspective than I’ve seen elsewhere. This is especially true in how they counter Dems’ attempts to characterize Vance’s own combat record to mitigate Walz’s counterfactual claims .  Too many Trump supporting personalities here are Teabraining the matter,  overreaching and mischaracterizing the issue, and doing more harm than good. I try not to jump too hard on technical errors or overgeneralizations, but people shouldn’t throw around terms and concepts they don’t understand.

(Apparently Blogspot is changing things, so I need an app or something to post pictures and embed videos. I will figure it out.) Kamala Harris’ “unburdened by what has been” line has been widely labeled as a word salad. Perhaps it is, but it does have a meaning – a very Marxist meaning. It is about changing our past, which means our heritage.  I have resisted explaining this to people, given the tiring nature of having to deal with  Teabrainery .  Perhaps it’s ironic that it’s Charlie Kirk of TPUSA putting this out. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/9v0GkNWSX40

COMMENT: The flaw in Kennedy’s statement about how we have so much in common is that the Left genuinely doesn’t ideologically share those concerns. They want our children to be worse off than us, by virtue of wanting the decline of Western civilization. Whether it’s proactively seeking that outcome for their own children, or simply being ambivalent about it insubordination to their ideology, it simply is not a concern we equally share . The discussion really focuses mostly on Kat Timph’s pregnancy, but does mention the adoration of Kamala Harris as being strictly partisan. ‘Gutfeld!’: What’s behind Kamala’s ‘meteoric’ rise?

From season 20, 1989. Two comments: 1. Maybe because Marlee Matlin is deaf, captioning at one point having Oscar as “[INAUDIBLE]” seems oddly funny. 2. I wonder if she originated the “dark-frame glasses make a girl really hot” phenomenon.  Yep. Hot in the specs.

 

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.

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.
