Random Shit I Feel Like Yakkin' About
Like a social media page, without the annoying comments
Nothing more dangerous than giving a writer an unfettered forum in which to say whatever the fuck she wants, with no unasked for input from strangers.
And so, here I am.
In this section, you'll find my views on whatever doesn't fit into antisemitism or geopolitics. Lucky you.
The Un-Enlightment Has Arrived
In case you weren't already convinced that education has gone the way of 8-track tapes, Yale has announced it will offer a course on Beyonce's impact on politics (whoopsie) and culture starting in 2025.
Yale. FUCKING YALE. Founded in 1701, long before America was even a thing.
I could see if it was a historically black college maybe, but Yale? Why?
Did they miss the memo that her endorsement of KamKam fell flat?
I'm actually rather thrilled that celebrity endorsements mean nothing now. And that's bipartisan. Who gives a shit who Oprah likes? She's a bazillionaire. Ditto Elon Musk, though at least his showed some forward thinking, politically--he didn't just endorse Trump for fun. There's some kind of regulatory issues he has his cap set on.
Wasn't Taylor Swift also behind Kam? Yikes.
Meryl Streep? George Clooney? (Nobody less relevant than old rich white movie stars lol). Wasn't George the one who insisted Joe step down? I guess money can't buy an intelligent candidate.
My dad went to Yale Law School a million years ago. I can hear him now going, "Who's Beyonce?" He never knew who anyone was after maybe Julie Andrews in 'Sound of Music.' As Joe likes to say, "Seriously, I'm not kidding, folks."
Speaking of Joe...sheesh. Boy can't wallk on the Delaware sand dunes now. He was stumbling across them in a video yesterday and it was sad. They need to stop bringing him out. It's just embarrassing.
As for me? This website is pulling in more readers than ever. I do NO promotion. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I would tell you what my secret is if I knew lolol. No clue. Perhaps y'all have finally recognized my brilliance.
Feel free to hop on over to my Support the Author page and contribute. I'm looking at book trailer producers and the one I like best is world-class. I'm sure I can't afford him if he even responds to my email.
Go fund me, please. It's not easy not being green.
Americans Claim to Want 'Generational Wealth'--So Why Do They Hate Everyone Who Has It?
I'm ever fascinated by this country's love-hate affair with money. And how it's acquired.
I can tell you how it isn't acquired: by buying a house.
That myth is hilarious. Show me one person who became rich--really rich---from buying a single house. It's not a thing.
If you want to become rich, you have to create or expand a business or ten ... or hit a career that offers huge paydays and then not blow it all on blow or ugly diamond necklaces.
But all we hear from KamKam is about her "middle class" upbringing.
Well, she married a millionaire (and that's another way to acquire generational wealth:).
I'm pretty sure she enjoys all the free perks of being VP: the massive private plane and birds, no food costs ever, gourmet chefs, an unlimited wardrobe and styling budget, free security...she doesn't have to pay for anything. So whatever she lists on her tax returns is complete bullshit.
We could live large on $161K too if we had NO EXPENSES WHATSOEVER. And most of us aren't pulling in anything close to that.
Both my grandfathers were self-made. They had no welfare. People used to work insane hours for nothing and save, save, save. Those days are gone, obv. My own budget management skills are less than glorious. The cost of living is also out of control.
What's my point? Decide what you believe. You can't both hate rich people and love money. Pick a camp.
Hasta luego, amigos.
