Random musings on the new Abnormal Passing Scene

When you start a random musing column, you don’t know what you’re going to end up writing about. It turns out I had a few thoughts about the sport of cheerleading and how proud we are that our daughter, Maggie, is a new member of the CHMS Trojan cheer squad. (Maggie is in the front row, second from the left.)

Actor/comedian Rob Schneider made a sharp point in his interview with Tucker Carlson. He said that Hollywood producers and big bosses simply want to stay in their high-paying positions as long as possible.

They know that at some point they will be replaced or fired, but they just want to delay that day as long as possible. Until then, they will all support the “Current Thing”. No dissent allowed. If they did, they would be gone tomorrow. This explains our “Clone Culture”.

The “scandal” about our Second lord impregnating his children’s nanny had a shorter shelf life (about 12 hours) than the scandal that RFK, Jr. I once picked up a dead bear from the side of the road and left the gruesome corpse in Central Park next to an abandoned bicycle.

I had to laugh, because I love a politician who enjoys pulling off a bold joke. Unfortunately, this elaborate joke was used to label RFK as perhaps “weirder” than JD Vance.

“JD Vance is weird” is of course one of the most authorized stories of the moment.

I’m playing with a new hypothesis – for example, the Deep State’s main puppeteer is likely a director of the largest and most influential advertising agency in the world.

Think about it. What do the “Mad Men” at these agencies actually do? They create short-term and long-term campaigns that are essentially psy-ops designed to manipulate the masses.

The ‘narrative is the thing” and these Mad Men create the stories, which are usually fake. They then spread these storylines to captains of various organizations, including their allies in the conquered mainstream press.

“Vance is ‘odd’ or ‘strange’” is a timely story, as is “Governor DeSantis is caught” or “another “Jeb Bush” quickly became the mainstream story when DeSantis announced he was running for president.

I can go back 12 years and remember when the ““Ron Paul Revolution” grew and began to threaten the status quo. “Ron Paul is a racist” nipped that momentum in the bud.

Nowadays, we can all easily pick up on the “memes of the day,” which consist of buzzwords or daily soundbites that are simultaneously trumpeted by every Talking Head in every news story.

But these Mad Men also helped formulate the long-term strategies – like that we need more mRNA vaccines… or that central bank digital currencies will help business and are “safer” than germ-infested money favored by money laundering cartels… or “Climate change is an existential threat” to the world.

The short-term memes always promote the long-term agenda.

My working theory: A diabolical genius writes these scripts and legions of people and organizations dutifully follow and spread the authorized stories. (More on this spicy and budding conspiracy theory later).

Another current story is that Kamala Harris has taken the lead in the presidential race according to many polls (although polls show that 90 percent of polls are influenced or biased).

You might suspect that it would be much easier to steal another presidential election when most “authorized” polls indicate that Kamala is going to win.

I also note that Kamala has not held a major press conference since being named the Democratic nominee through our new “virtual democratic process.”

Incidentatlly, Joe Biden – who is still technically the “President of the United States” – has not held a press conference since he heard from God and decided to leave the race. (He has never told us why he dropped out. We only know that it was not because he has dementia and/or Parkinson’s disease).

Anyway, three cheers for America’s fearless “watchdog” news agency!

Nick Sabanwhom I would like to publicly thank for his 17 years of outstanding leadership of the Crimson Tide, has made an impressive start as ESPN’s Talking Head.

I just read a story about the impressive charity that Saban and his wife (Miss Terry) still run. This story noted how flonely Mrs. Saban is.

This observation made me think about the truth that a great woman is often behind the success of great men. If someone would give her a chance on the right media platform, Miss Terry would grow into an All-Star.

I believe it was Rob Schneider who noticed that Travis Kelcethe star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swifts boyfriend, was paid by Pfizer t $10 millionto promote the company’s non-vaccines against Covid and flu.

(Kelce in a future commercial: “If you want thisPfizer can help!”)

I didn’t know Schneider ever appeared in a State Farm commercial with Aaron Rodgerswho was the company’s spokesman — until he was replaced by “Mr. Pfizer” (Kelce) and before Rodgers came out as an anti-vaxxer.

Schneider confirmed that he has been blacklisted by Hollywood, but his stand-up comedy routines have sold out across the country. This makes me feel good, because it suggests that “the despicable” are not cowering under their breakfast tables.

I keep joking to my wife that I’m going to try stand-up comedy. As Schneider proves, there is definitely a market for taboo, politically incorrect comedy.

How hard can it really be to get up on stage and tell funny stories?

I just wrote a column on Dale Carnegie’s timeless self-help classics, offering great tips on how to overcome your fear of public speaking. In my new side hustle, I know I’ll have to deal with hecklers, but I can probably write some counter jokes and shoot these bullies in the audience. (Or, if the hecklers win, I can always sue them for psychological damages.)

Tonight is “Meet the Trojans” at Memorial Stadium. My daughter, soon to be 13, is being introduced to the crowd as a member of the Middle School Trojan cheer squad.

I was skeptical that cheer was a sport, but I’m not anymore. These girls practice as long as the football players, doing intricate and highly choreographed acrobatics and stunts, and I can tell that Maggie is in much better shape than she was before she became a cheerleader.

In my opinion, promoting school and city spirit is a noble and important extracurricular activity. Once everyone is “too cool for school” (or too cool to cheer for their team), we can “just stop doing it” (the last stanza of one of my favorite cheers).

When I was in 8th grade, I was on the basketball team at Trojan Middle School. My girlfriend for a few months, the attractive and seductive Deanne Brownwas a cheerleader, just like my daughter is now.

Every time I committed a foul while bringing the ball to the hoop, the cheerleaders and Deane would start chanting a popular chant of the time:

“My husband, he’s fine

He’s standing at the free throw line.

That annoying encouragement caused me to throw up a bunch of bad passes. (Unfortunately, DeAnne and I didn’t make it to the end of the season.)

Thanks to my readers, I’m all the way to Substack level. My recent story about the Pulitzer Prize-winning Bozo van The San Francisco Chronicle got 501 ‘likes’ and more than 8,000 readers.

My story about “what they did to us” has been read almost 7,000 times and has been shared and posted on the fruit plain.

“Yes, team!”

“The gym, the gym, the gym is on fire…”

…I just came up with a retort I can use if I get booed in my future stand-up comedy performances:

UGLY… You have no alibi…

You’re ugly! (Hey, hey)… You’re ugly!”

…I don’t think Maggie’s cheerleading coach lets her team do that anymore.

But I still enjoy it, and I bet if I started doing it, almost everyone in the comedy club would join in… which might just smell like good old-fashioned humor. teenage spirit.

A subscriber – a doctor! – has just mailed me my Certificate of Merit. I will proudly display it in my study.
