his cue cards, (as no other President has ever done), and speaking like every word he utters hurts him mentally!

For more than three decades, I played organized baseball -- Little League, Pony, Colt, Thoroughbred, high school, college, semi-pro and scouting teams, and then in a fairly competitive Men’s League (pardon the archaic expression). The national pastime was, assuredly, also my personal pastime, my passion, and my pleasure. Setting aside Major League Baseball’s current self-inflicted infirmity, i.e., its flirtation with progressive politics and pop culture, it saddens me to see the game relinquish its traditional identity as America’s Pastime.
Open any newspaper or magazine, click on just about any website, watch a movie or TV show that’s been produced within the last year, take a close look at a random advertisement, and you cannot help but conclude that America has wholly embraced a new pastime: pretending.
Let’s not pretend. Pretending is no longer simply child’s play. It is the zeitgeist. As a people, we are encouraged -- even expected -- to pretend that an athlete born as a boy has no advantage over those born as a girl once the erstwhile boy declares his female identity (and perhaps dresses the part). Meanwhile, students and teachers must obey the corruption of the English language, never letting on that they know of the deceit, when using the “preferred pronouns” of folks who pretend to believe that humans come in virtually limitless genders and that gender and sex are entirely unrelated matters.
When discussing scientific theories, we are ordered to accept “the science” (a paradox bathed in irony) in explaining things as disparate as climate change and the efficacy of cloth and paper face masks in preventing the spread of a virus.

Good article. Pretending is exactly what we’re all doing right now, and we all know it. But what is essential for a national - or actually, global - pretense is that everybody go along with it.
The reason our masters and even our next door neighbors fly into a homicidal rage any time somebody, no matter how peacefully, denies the pretense is because that will burst the magic bubble. It threatens their very existence. We must all pretend together.
The Emperor’s new clothes, carried to a letal extreme.
The biggest fraud of all is that clown Puppet Biden pretending to be president and everyone else who goes along with it. /spit.
Very good observation.
We called it “make believe” when I was growing up—or in family— “makeebee”
Bidens taken pretending to a whole new level...because no matter how hard he tries he fails.
That would never have happened if we were not already so accustomed to pretending about everything else … well, what’s one more thing?
What is truth?
his cue cards, (as no other President has ever done), and speaking like every word he utters hurts him mentally!
Very thoughtful article filled with many truths about falsehoods. Every supervisor and professor should be required to read this article to subordinates in their respective wokeplace.
Authorities are making examples of individuals, and the media is spreading the stories. Who wants to be raided by the FBI and knocked around at 3am, and then jailed indefinitely? This isn’t just about getting banned by Twitter anymore.
Nothing stopping people from opening amateur baseball leagues in small towns across the state.
Sell attendance tickets for $5-10 and allow confectioners to offer soda pop, hot dogs and popcorn at the game. Follow the blueprint left by baseball purveyors in the early 20th century. They had a word for this called “barnstorming.” See what happens.
People need to get off their butts and start working at taking back the country - one baseball diamond at a time.
What’s with the striped dress? What’s she hiding there?
LOL! Tonto, btw, means “stupid” in Spanish. However, it was also the name of an Indian group (that is, their own name for themselves, long before the Spanish arrived), so I’ve never known if the producers picked it as an insult to Indians or just because it was associated with an Indian group and nobody even knew what it meant in Spanish.
I was wondering about that, too. A prosthetic leg? It looks like she only has one foot. But there is something extremely odd there. It looks like her dress is draped over a table. Bad angle? Photoshop? Something else?
