KRISTI NOEM KILLED HER DOG

THIS story has been haunting me for the last few days. HERE’S your WARNING, if real news offends your senses, bail on this column, now. OK, for those of you still with me let’s talk about this awful story. So, it seemed to many people South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wanted to be vice president… possibly President someday… and… what better way to achieve THAT GOAL than admitting to shooting your dog practically point blank in the head while exclaiming, “I hated that dog”, in a memoir. Two things here that make me sick to my stomach I have to address. The dog was 14 months old. A puppy. An animal who clearly needed help in a vast array of places behavioral wise. And, the second thing that made me lose a few nights sleep about this is that this woman was so detached emotionally that pulling a LEE HARVEY OSWALD was no biggie. Sure sure, after pushback and pure disgust that reached fever pitch online from animal lovers, she claimed it “wasn’t an easy decision”. Look, I was an MP with the K9 UNIT in the Army and I got bit. A lot. By dogs. Training animals is hard and consuming and takes TIME AND PATIENCE. Who doesn’t grasp this?  I have a cat who I rescued from the world as a baby and was wild and almost dead when I found her. It’s taken almost 6 years of patience and LOVE to turn her around from her brutal beginning. She was WICKED for a while. Now, she is the sweetest girl, and I can’t imagine my life without her. Short story long – send NOEM some lilies. Her political career is dead.

JOY REID

Quick thought: This woman is ETERNALLY ANGRY. I wonder if she gets angry when she feels some kind of happiness. I mean, whatever THAT could possibly look like in HER spectrum.

YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT!

Don’t you love it when people like this LADY have total meltdowns? What a treat to read (and watch) a total phony get exposed in the media.  Monroe County District Attorney KAREN, I mean, Sandra Doorley, a Democrat, went ballistic after getting pulled over for going 55 in a 35 in Webster, NY. She had no idea the body cam was on and clearly, she forgot to take her meds that morning. Google her name to watch the video. Gov Hochul is seeking a state investigation into this matter, and in the meantime KAREN, (darn it!) I mean Sandra, has apologized, saying (paraphrasing) she had an intense day. OH, PLEASE, SANDY. Give the Police Chief another ringy-dingy and sell crazy somewhere else.

BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE A DIME?

You know what I can’t stand, seeing some person in a SUPER FANCY CAR roll down the window at a stop light to virtue signal and give a panhandler 50 bucks where everyone can see… ONLY to pull into WALMART 5 seconds later and watch that same person park illegally in a handicapped spot without a placard… ONLY to see later that night that same person tells everyone on FB how “good it felt to help someone less fortunate today”. I just threw up in my mouth.

THINGS I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND

Why it’s so hard for people to YIELD.

Why the President thought his uncle was eaten by cannibals.

HOW centenarians ALL say they DRINK EVERY DAY!

WHY they “reimagined” WEST SIDE STORY

THE KARDASHIANS.

NEO TOOK THE RED PILL

For those that are awake and took the RED PILL out there, you see it. It’s clear as day and it’s overwhelming.  For those that took the blue pill you still live in the illusion. WHAT ILLUSION? The illusion of yesterday, JFK, and the American dream. We can talk all we want about making things better folks, but if those in power are hell bent at destroying this country from the inside out those that are awake have got to dig in and find their voice again. So many people were terrified into submission during the pandemic and I understand that, but it’s time to come back out here into the world and do something. Now is not the time to be a spectator. The things going on around you are not going to go away because you plant a tree or keep the news turned off. If you still love this country you’ll have to fight for it. I just wanted to remind you of that. We really are – all in this together. 

That’s all for this week gang. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”

’til next Wednesday,

Jen
