Heard this segment from our state affiliated media. "You better not question the totally free and fair election results when there are more 4:00 am ballot dumps! Saying otherwise means you are a purveyor of MISINFORMATION!"

I would not be shocked if it was the feds themselves creating these threats just so they can justify more crackdowns on anyone who questions our banana republic "democracy."

I think many people who are unable to succeed in the financial realm just assume that everyone who is well off did not earn their way. But for the vast majority of those that are well off and STAY well off are those that did have to work hard.

Just because you were unable to succeed does not mean that everyone else is unable to without cheating.

Sure, there are those that do cheat or get lucky. But does it help to dwell upon that? No matter where you are, you can always improve yourself.

Is is possible he was using steroids? Maybe. But that is not something I need to care about. I am where I am at and am happy to be.

We can extend this thinking to financial status too. Are there trust fund babies that merely rode on the coattails of their parents? Absolutely. But if I live my life in envy of them, I am no better off. I need to look at my own life and determine if I am where I can be regardless of where others are.

Living your life in envy is no way to live if you want to be content. Those that are envious often were not ones that really tried hard to achieve what they think others got without effort.

For example, I saw someone at my gym benching 3 plate. I am barely able to do 2 plate myself, so clearly this guy is stronger than me. Should I be envious? No, because I understand how hard of work I had to do to get where I am, and most likely this guy had to bust his own ass to get to that point.

Apparently Blinken makes a point to always shove LGBT shit in his foreign policy discussions with other countries. Not an expert on China, but I doubt they are going to be big fans of homosexuality when they are wanting to solve their own birth rate issues.

Even if he leaves out the gay crap, I think China is going to be no happier with the US after these discussions. Even the mainstream press is not optimistic.

I speculate that the lack of subtlety and having progressive messaging in movies is due to new generations of people coming into the industry having a complete lack of understanding in tactics. Rather than go in with stealth, they think they can just charge on in and have blatant gay propaganda without real consequences.

I am thankful that they are incapable of being subtle. It makes it easier to avoid leftist propaganda. Plus it keeps me from having to watch poorly made movies.

If indeed Elsa is supposed to be a stand in for a gay character, she flies under the radar. Which means the woke crowd can scoff at any moral panic from the right because "they are just reading into things that are not there."

But these days, they just outright make a character the gay and proud of being gay. As a tactic, this fails to plant any seeds for ideas. For example, the new Buzz Lightyear movie. Gay character is just inserted. Parents say no to having their children watch the movie.

Remember when messaging was more subtle in Disney movies? That is, it was so subtle, there was plausible deniability that they were even having any woke propaganda at all.

For example: Frozen. There was a whole lot of parents concerned that Elsa's character was a stand in for a lesbian. I don't know for a fact if this was the intention, but if it was, this is the best tactic. There's room for doubt, but if it was intended, it starts planting seeds.
