Trust, Belief, Honesty Gone AWOL

Yes, we live in troubled, confusing times.

More often than not we seem to be adrift on a sea of confusion. Thank goodness that in such a time of stress and duress we still have traditional values, institutions and good old-fashioned societal anchors to help us weather the storm.

We still have Black Lives Matter out there fighting the good fight for whatever the group professes to be fighting for.

What? You say the California Justice Department is threatening BLM with action over its lack of transparency regarding at least $60 million in undisclosed donations? You say BLM also has failed to produce annual reports as a charitable trust must do?

Well, I’m sure this is just more oppression from The Man, albeit The Man in the most liberal state in these United States.

Moving on, at least we have prestigious medical institutions such as Johns Hopkins and our diligent media helping us through the never-ending COVID crisis.

Wait a minute. What? A Johns Hopkins professor is calling out his employer and the media for failing to publicize a Johns Hopkins study that found that lockdowns did virtually nothing to reduce COVID mortality, but did cause great economic and social harm.

No doubt this is merely an oversight that will be corrected now that the good professor has brought it to the attention of the media and Johns Hopkins. Tick. Tick. Tick.

Well at least the Biden regime is in step with popular opinion of the nation on the big issues such as COVID mandates and war – wanting more of each.

Ah, you say a Monmouth poll indicates 70 percent of Americans believe it’s time simply to live with COVID and get on with our lives? OK, must have been taken in a Republican stronghold. Oh, according to the poll 47 percent of Democrats feel that way, 71 percent of Independents and 89 percent of Republicans?

Well, there can be little doubt that Biden and his cronies know what the American population wants in terms of national defense, that being going to war with Russia over Ukraine, or China over Taiwan.

Come on, man. You tell me polls show overwhelmingly that the populace wants diplomacy, not war with Russia and China? These polls sound as phony as the Biden vote totals in the last election.

So, let’s forget BLM, COVID and an out-of-touch president, at least we can count on Cancel Culture to set us straight.

Kudos to the has-been rockers who are uniting as a sort of an ad hoc We WERE The World group to attempt to get Joe Rogan and his wildly successful podcast kicked off Spotify.

This is Cancel Culture at its finest — silence the voices of any who do not buy whatever pap the liberals are spewing. Don’t question, just obey.

Credit the Cancel Culture crowd for also finally putting a muzzle on the massively uninformed utterings of Whoopi Goldberg, a woman a former coworker of mine once described as being “as ugly as a bucket of butts.”

He wasn’t talking about cigarettes and, truth be told, he said something other than butts.

Regardless, Whoppi got a few weeks off her platform on The View to rethink her assertion that the Nazis exterminating Jews was not about race.

That’s Cancel Culture at its best, acting as equal opportunity, self-appointed censors.

And now you tell me the fawning leftists at MSNBC, who never heard a conservative voice they didn’t want to be silenced, are whining about Whoopi getting caught in the Cancel Culture trap because she’s one of them?

You say they bemoan punishment and judgment for those with opposing, possibly mistaken views — at least when it’s Whoopi who is opposing and possibly mistaken?

That would be hypocritical suddenly not to buy the Cancel Culture phenomenon’s legitimacy, wouldn’t it?

Now I’m really depressed.
