To all those who are sending in memes, thank you! Keep them coming please, as it helps me gather weaponry to fight the Left. Please do share this post, and if you share an individual meme, consider mentioning you saw it on the Grok!

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***
I’ll be disappointed if I find out I’m not on one. Or more. More broadly, though, do not think you can “grey man” your way through this. Time to pick sides, and start planning. And while I certainly would weep at this being necessary, I do like the idea:

Deep Fakes are About to Change Everything
I’ve been talking about this for some time. As technology improved, with pictures, then videos, we went from pure word-of-mouth to things that could travel. Then, be broadcast. Because we understood, at least in principle, that these were images of real things, we trusted – even back when we had some glimmer of understanding that things could be “spun”.
Deep Fakes are a game-changer. We can no longer believe our own eyes unless we’re actually there, or hear it from someone whom we truly trust who was there.
And… what if holograms, etc., become good enough that we can’t tell them from faked things?
All of a sudden our “circle of trusted information” – which has grown over decades and centuries – is about to collapse to almost nothing.

They really do think this way. It reminds me of “Who will you believe, me or your lying eyes”?
Now, read the excerpt from the lib – short snip here:
The Democrats should pursue policies that crush rural voters and make rural life as miserable as possible. Things like refusing federal flood insurance to rural areas, leaving rural roads wanting for federal dollars, not using federal money to build bridges or expand electric or sewer, ending federal ethanol subsidies and other farm subsidies, etc. – all of that can make rural life even less attractive than it already is and force that population of irredeemables into the cities where they can be reeducated and turned into citizens with something to contribute. With Trump, they let the mask drop and all of the country can now see: there is no reason for the United States to ever spend another dime on rural America, and the sooner rural America is just a memory, the better.
So small towns will come back. But the rural areas that are Trump country are going to face long term consequences for that and they should.
So, where on this 1-10 step are we? I’d make a claim for at least STAGE FOUR. And I can make a good case for being close to STAGE SIX too.
Do not forget this warning either:
They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counter revolution and they felt that this counter revolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing reeducation centers in the Southwest where would take all the people who needed to be reeducated into the new way of thinking and teach them how things were going to be.
I asked, well, what is going to happen to those people that we can’t reeducate that are diehard capitalists and the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say eliminate I mean kill – 25 million people.
I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other well known educational centers and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious.”

PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA – PSA
When we arrived in Dubai for an overnight layover we went through customs and immigration. What was surprising was the facial scan – which, being a foreign country, I had precious little ability to refuse. (If it had been me alone, I’d have camped out in the airport for the overnight rather than have it done.) Anyway, I’m guessing this was an iris scan. Apparently I’m squinty-eyed and they had to scan me multiple times, sans glasses.
This is coming here. And it will be, of course, sold as conveeeeenient. And for security, of course.
Already being trialed, not just at airports:
Eurostar officially launches SmartCheck biometric gates | Biometric Update
Dubai had these too for check-in. But since we had kids, we did it the old-fashioned way.
But here’s the kicker. In Boston there was a huge line to get through immigration control, but despite many of the lanes being CLOSED it moved quickly. That’s because there was no actual questioning or even looking at passports. Everyone just got scanned… scanned, and through. No customs forms or examinations either (I thought that was odd; normally they hand those out on the plane prior to landing), though I did notice one woman having her luggage getting a good going-through. My guess is that she was someone through the non-US citizen line, judging by her appearance from a glance.
So this begs the question: how did my scan get connected with my ID? The only place I was scanned in a way that could be connected to me was Dubai. Was that data shared with the US? Logically, it had to have been – for the only way that my citizenship data could have been connected to my scan was if the UAE had passed that info onward.
I’m on the grid. Dammit.

The more I learn about vaccines and how they’re approved, the more firm I am in my decisions to become anti-vax. Totally anti-vax.

Aaron Russo – Womens Lib created to tax women and break up families
Do I want women “barefoot and pregnant”, amd actual captives in their homes? No. But any thought I’d had of being anything supportive of feminism has died, totally.
Fortunately, my wife comes from a very family-oriented culture and for – I’d guess – the first 8-9 years, while she did work, one of us was always there. Her family, alas, cannot support us with help, being overseas. Both my parents are gone. My older surviving sister lives far away, most of my family lives far away… and virtually all are libs if not outright Leftists.
