I have a meme fairy, who scours social media and various internet sources while I sleep in order to provide me daily emails each morning teeming with the things. They are at times amusing, but mostly they make me ask questions.
This is just a sample of the questions raised by today’s memes.
Why do I think of Johnstown when I look at a meme depicting a huge funnel overflowing with cash, labeled Money For The Homeless, scan to the bottom to find one small outlet that is trickling cash and is labeled Homeless and another larger outlet gushing cash that is labeled Non-profits?
How can 56.8 percent of any group, as one meme stated, think resigned British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was treated too harshly?
Why am I not surprised that a hugely fat woman who would make me look normal sized, and was caught emptying a Knicks-themed trash on the street during the team’s title parade to take it home as a souvenir, since has been fired from her job at a major bank – where she was a DEI officer?
Should I be ashamed that I laughed out loud at a meme displaying a huge revolver and two targets, each of which had a clean headshot through a hooded figure attempting to make off (or out) with a goat?
Why does it not even raise an eyebrow when a meme reports that 40 people were shot over the Juneteenth weekend in Chicago, none by police, but all of them black, and we hear not a peep from the usual suspects, ranging from BLM to left-wing Democrats, to the LameStream media?
Is anyone else not surprised by a map depicting Pennsylvanians among the nation’s leaders, with 15 percent of adults who smoke despite decades of warnings?
What percentage of the population do you think is aware that some Native American tribes, including the Cherokee Nation, fought with the Confederates in our Civil War for reasons that included keeping the slavery that they practiced?
Anyone else think Sparkle is a better name for a stripper than for a foreign-born U.S. judge who would insert herself into the matter of illegal aliens voting by trying to keep it going?
Do you find it hard to argue with a social media post from actor James Woods that Barack Hussein Obama was a one-man Trojan Horse for getting radical Islam a foothold here?
If Japan can count more than 40 million votes in a few hours, as happened in a February election this year, is there any rational explanation (beyond it takes longer to establish a target in order to cheat) for California to take weeks to counts its votes?
Can anyone be surprised that highest rates for HIV among U.S. demographic groups are 25 percent for trans women and 15 percent for gay or bisexual men?
Can you believe Scottish soccer fans are donating money to Providence in thanks for helping them find affordable accommodations for the World Cup of Soccer, and that Japanese fans routinely remain after the games to clean up their trash in the stadiums?
I see your eyes glazing over, so that’s enough questions for today. Class dismissed.
