The Conservative Christian Taliban


ChatGPT has gone Calvinistic.  It used to give me naked Adams and Eves in any color I wanted.  If I were clever enough, it would render some of my Lonesomeville images as Renaissance paintings and then, maybe, as something by Edward Hopper.  This is what I get now when I try to get one of my Lonesomeville images worked on.  She sure doesn't look like a hooker to me.  She looks like a hooker's religious sister who prays for her soul.  

It even turned me into J.C., Superstar.

But that's the world we live in now.  Charlie Kirk has been "martyred."  And now, another group of "geniuses" is coming to take his place.  

It's almost like a resurrection, right?  Or a Holy Trinity.  But, you know, we have the Trump Umbrella now.  It's expensive, sure.  It's Trump.  But you'll need it if you want to protect democracy. 

O.K.  Enough of that.  Let's get on to something interesting.  Let's see. . . what did I do yesterday.  

Uh. . . made breakfast for my ma.  Took her to the audiologist.  Decided we'd eat leftovers from the last two nights.  Made a trip to the grocers to buy broccoli.  Heated leftovers and steamed the broccoli.  Watched the evening news.  

That's about it.  

Oh. . . here's my favorite news story of the day.  Dr. Trump will see you now. 

Conservatives are like the Taliban.  First they destroy the education system and blame it on liberals.  After they've done that, they can preach to the ignorant majority.  But such things are common now.  Take Apple.  First they made earbuds that people wore until it made them "hard of hearing," so then Apple sells their AirPods as hearing aids.  Fucking genius.  

Create the problem, then tell people you are the solution.  

One of my conservative friends was telling me how liberals are violent.  All the shootings now are done by trannies.  I told him that was far from true.  I asked him for his data.  He asked me for mine, so I sent it to him.  A ton of it, all saying the same thing--conservative right wing violence far exceeds the left's.  He hasn't responded.  I guess I was kind of mean.  I told him to rely on facts and data rather than anecdotes from J.D. Vance and the broheme podcasts.  I'm sure he'll "Trump" me on this one, though, and say the data is false, that it was skewed by the liberal press who just want to persecute conservatives.  

Good luck getting vaccines this year.  

Even my friends with money are beginning to have sticker shock.  

"Remember that good tequila I brought to your house.  The one in the pink bottle.  Last month when I bought a bottle it was $79.  I went to the liquor store just now and it was over $100!"

"Tariffs, maybe?"

Three apples--$7. 

When I checked out at the grocers yesterday, I had the same cashier as the night before.  When she saw me, I shook my head.  She just grinned.  I think about people living on grocery store wages.  Does the corporation give them old food so they can eat?  There is no way to feed a family on that paycheck anymore.  

This is what happens when I have no life, I guess.  I just think and opine.  Maybe today I'll go out in my boxer shorts and throw rocks at cars.  

I don't even have music.  Just a bunch of home healthcare visits today and doctor's appointments for the rest of the week.  

Remember me?  Remember all the fun we used to have?  

Oy!  We are surely living in End Times.  

Selah.
