Got back from Spain a couple of days ago. Not happy.
Have been spending way too much time and energy on X (nee Twitter) duking it out with the supporters of the Biden Crime Family. A hopeless enterprise; they lie and gaslight to an extent hardly seen before in modern American politics. They insist that things you see with your own eyes, smell with your own nose, and experience with your own wallet, just ain't so. No. Not at all. Biden is the most wildly successful President in American history. He is honest, strong, truthful: he is the epitome of the patriot. There is no two-tier justice system.
Everything bad is due to Orange Man! Kamala has fixed the border and will now fix "gun violence." OK.
Ignore the collapse of the border; the censorship; the growing insecurity on the streets; the rising prices at the pump and supermarket; the drop in real wages; the decline of the real estate market in the face of skyrocketing construction prices and mortgage rates. Insulin is going to cost seniors less! The military is going to be evermore diverse and inclusive! You are going to pay off the college loans of all those feminist literature majors! Buy a $60,000 electric vehicle, but don't charge it unless we say it's ok.
Be happy and grateful!
I am at the point of giving up trying to make a go of it in the USA. Should I live out my remaining years in this mess? Maybe go somewhere where I can live in peace, and get good coffee.
I don't know.
Dip, for the sake of your mental health, stay off social media. Arguing with those bots is a waste of time. You would do better arguing with the mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteWell, he IS arguing with the mentally ill. But your words about getting off of social media are 100% correct. It is a cesspool that will dirty your mind. I only go to Scott Adams on Local and a few web sites, such at thediplomad. I have been following this one for years, even the earlier version before he was forced off by the State Department. Truly respect Anselem.
DeleteMe too. I remember the first version during that Christmas time tsunami way back and discovering it then.

ReplyDeleteMy dad told me that many years ago. Took me awhile to really understand it. Boy was he right.
DeleteSame conundrum here. I have recently got a green card but now wonder if it’s worth it.
ReplyDeleteNever thought I’d write that.
I don't spend a lot of time on TwitterX or any of the socialist media. I do, on occasion respond to a liberal but I don't try to convince them. It's not possible. I just like to tweak them and make them look even stupider, if that's possible.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to hook up with @tkratman or @monsterhunter45 if you already haven't. Tom Kratman is retired army and Larry Corriea is..well, he has a long history of making progressive blubber like babies. He also owns a lot of guns.
Truth Social seems a bit better and I know you're over there. Just remember, arguing with a liberal is less effective then arguing with a brick wall. It's far more fun to make them break and fall into their usual response to losing an argument, and they tweaking them on that.
Dear Diplomad, San Sabastian looks like a great place to make your home, and the Pintxos are great. My wife and I will be visiting the Basque country the month of October. Wish we could see you there. Stay healthy and joyful, for you deserve it.

It is baffling how people accept what the Democrats are doing. A triumph of the Leftist media, and the teachers unions.
ReplyDeleteGlad your back.
ReplyDeleteDo not live in lies Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned us yet that is what our Marxists have been doing for the last decade at least and it's getting worse.
No idea what's going on here.... social media isn't my thing either.
ReplyDeleteI'd only debate with people who matter... and I can determine who 'matters' by a basic point-scoring system something like:
- family member +20
- has grandchildren +2/grandchild
- has children +1/child
- comfortable using "neopronouns" -3
- has 4-year (STEM/law/med) degree from reputable institution +2
- has graduate (STEM/law/med) degree from reputable institution +5
- veteran +10
- has 'degree' in humanities or otherwise not mentioned above -10
- regularly on social media -10 (provide exception for our dear host... but please please....)
My parents score perhaps 100+ on this.
The idiot protestor I passed on the road, probably -20

There is nothing that Biden has done that has helped America and its citizens.
ReplyDeleteBut what do I know. My experience anything that embraces diversity either drops in quality, goes out of business, or gets sold off. I followed the science where I came to the conclusion that sun spot activity has a big effect on the weather and there is little the human race can do to affect any changes in climate outside of rampant pollution. Pedophilia is cured with a high speed lead injection.
The Biden Admin. has yet to do even one positive thing for America. One...
DeleteIs it really possible that half the country is crazy ? How could that happen. How do they believe they can destroy our nation and them not be affected. ?
ReplyDeleteThey don't care whether they're affected, they nihilists. They're angry about their parents not putting them first, as so many families failed in the 1960's and 1970's. So who cares if the future is death from that perspective?
DeleteHope is not lost... rejection of public education is becoming more commonplace. The house church in China is growing fast. The liberals and nihilists do not have children, the conservatives have multitudes. These are all great signs for the future.

"Maybe go somewhere where I can live in peace, and get good coffee."
ReplyDeleteWhere would that place be? i only know of one, and the entrance requirement is extreme and irrevocable.
Yeah Butt, Anon? Mr Dip' might hold-up casting off his Bow line till he gets the definitive word on the Java, topside, or below decks~~~ hell that may take a Century to decide!?

You do have the advantage of fluent Spanish, a Spanish wife and property in Spain. So, yeah, it would be easy for you to live there full time.
ReplyDeleteProgressives lie. It is in nature, they think of it almost like a sport.
ReplyDeleteDip. Nine years ago you left a comment on this Blog entry of mine.
ReplyDeleteI think you should come to Perth in Western Australia for a holiday. It's Springtime here in the most isolated capital city in the world. The wildflowers are in full bloom. It's beautiful, quiet, and we have a spare room.

Thing is, though, that as bad as things look, I don't think they can win. The most they can do, because they have all the patience of a hungry six month old needing a diaper change, is to drive us to a Guerra Sucia-style civil war. And they'll lose that.
