A resurrection: Snippets From Spaceship 🚀 Orion

 After many years away getting my brain fried by idiot Trump supporters on Farcebook , I am back. It has been many years. Which says something exceptionally important: the relative sanity of blogging on Blogger is a medium I never should have left. I have ditched FB. My blog was called Snippets from Spaceship Orion. My last blog entry was about a lovely female I met in Neepawa, in western Manitoba. I have not seen Lis for years. I am a retired, divorced journalist from Winnipeg, a city of almost one million people in south-central Manitoba, in the centre of Canada. I am not far from North Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. I have had a stroke. I have two grown kids, two nephews (with another on the way). I am the oldest of 2 brothers and 3 sisters I will need a few days to re-familiarize myself with the technical workings of Blogger — how to make bold-face text, how to import and place pictures, how to add color, etc. Remember, I have had a stroke. I am 70. One thing I know? I am ...

  (Note: I have not blogged for years, so need to refamiliarize myself with how to use and place photos, etc., and other illustrations. This comes following the downfall of Farcebook and its refusal to allow such editorializing). Here is a verbatim commentary/editorial on the debate from The New Yorker, which I found incredibly appropriate: Donald Trump Had a Really, Really Bad Debate   Kamala Harris, veteran prosecutor, proved beyond a reasonable doubt on Tuesday night that her opponent will always take the bait. By  Susan B. Glasser September 11, 2024 “If there’s one thing we’ve learned about  Donald Trump  by now, nine years into his career in public life, it’s that his ego invariably gets in the way of what others might consider political good sense. Before the start of his first and likely only debate with Vice-President  Kamala Harris , the former President posted a video clip on his social-media feed, along with a quote from an admirer: “Donald Trump...

 I have had the recent incredibly disappointing experience of sampling the wide variety of dating sites out there. And I am undoubtedly underwhelmed. There are sites for the disabled and those with sickness or conditions, such as stroke, which I have had and recovered from. There are many others, most of which I have also tried, according to my personal preferences, that they are free, that they are popular, or what-have you. Rather than list them all, suffice to say they include a variety of local, national and international sites. Some are free. Some charge. ALL are RIP-OFFS rife with scammers, cheats, men pretending to be women, women pretending to be men, freaks being freaks, etc. I have been an attempted FRAUD VICTIM on these sites DOZENS of times. They have not gotten a penny, because I know how to stop them. I am theoretically EXACTLY what  they are looking for: I am in my 60s, have a bit of money, and am looking for love and sex. Isn’t every man? Some sites make a big ...

 THAT is the current state of America. And WE in the rest of the world have watched it happen: ever since Barack Obama’s term ended, clearing the way for Donald Trump and the Far, Far, Far Right to emerge. Joe Biden is too inept and weak-minded to stop it. Jan. 6. That’s all you need to know. How America allowed an unelected prick like Trump to whip America’s Rampant Right into a bunch of crazed, blood-thirsty monsters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_right_(United_States) The Nazis, the White Supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, the gun lobby, any absurdly idiotic scum you can imagine, all mindless zombies 🧟‍♂️ of Trump, the worst of all. The same arseholes who creeped out from under their rock to kill that Left-leaning woman in that car a few years ago, who stormed the Capitol Jan. 6. This from that sensational publication, The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/14/the-rise-of-political-violence/amp Who beat security guards to death. Or who strung up black...

LGBT + Q: We hear about this all-encompassing, silly moniker all the time for a minute portion of the entire population to represent the weirdly sexually different. But what about the other 80-90% of us that are BANISH + ED — Boring, Acclimatized, Normal, Insecure but dealing with it, Sexually normal, Heterosexuals and therefore able to reproduce, Easy to be hard, and a Dying breed. What ever happened to the simple, basic attraction between a boy and a girl, a man and a woman, intended to propagate the species? I get that there are homosexual deviant freaks of nature in every animal on earth. But generally, seeing as they have no way to reproduce, they are destined to die off. The beauty thing about nature is a man AND a woman are required to make a baby. There is no natural exception to this rule. Instead, we celebrate RuPaul and other freaks of nature with TV shows: Shock TV. We let the TV sh*theads dictate what we watch, THEN WE BLINDLY WATCH IT! Are we going F’ing insane? Are we co...

  Today, I tried publishing to Farcebook a piece critical of the Right Wing, Donald Trump, and Farcebook’s obvious siding with Trump. I was within seconds of posting the piece sent a message by the Farcebook weinies saying that if I didn’t remove it within seconds, I would face suspension from their site. Which they have done several times before. My initial reaction was to tell them to go f**k themselves, but I ended up complying. https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/09/26/facebook-conservatives-2020-421146 So this is what democracy has come to?  A Right-wing media source like Farcebook saying to users that we don’t CARE what YOU think, this is NOT a democracy, and you can’t: —bad-mouth the Right-Wing arse who almost killed the speaker’s husband with a hammer 🔨 in San Francisco; —bad-mouth Trump for his incitement of such arse-holes to do that or start the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol or any number of other appalling things? You can’t do these things? You can’t fight back?...
