Thanks for the ping pocono...
Hey poconopundit, my buddy said he heard her referred to as “Occasional-Cortex” by Glenn Beck, and I read an article on TownHall the other day and saw it...
Hahahahaha...I know a famous person now!
I had a complete mind-blank the other day, and couldn’t remember what Freeper coined that moniker, and thought it might have been a little elbow grease...when I saw your thread, I remembered!
So, milagro...it was poconopundit who coined that phrase “Occasional-Cortex”! (Apologies to you, a little elbow grease, for erroneously increasing your fame due to my inability to remember!)
“...the majority of millennials are in sore need of an education detailing the horrors of an ideology they appear to embrace.”
I’m not sure anything short of a World War (where they have to leave the comforts of their parents’ basements, or their local Campus and FIGHT ‘for reals’) will awaken them from their idiotic slumber. How many of our OWN Grandparents and Parents took up arms in WWII, Korea or Vietnam? Are we learning NOTHING from the endless Middle East ‘Mission’? (ODS Vet, 1990-1992. IMHO? No, we have not.)
They’re all FOR changing the world via Rainbows, Butterflies and Unicorns...as long as it doesn’t INCONVENIENCE them and like, they have to DO anything other than post about it on Social Media. *ROLLEYES*
I see it in fully HALF of my own Nieces and Nephews! The OTHER half (the ones I admit to loving more, LOL!) are in the Military right now, or in Trade Schools learning to DO things and MAKE things of value for their fellow human beings.
Sorry. Being a SJW does nothing for anyone!
(Man, I’m getting old and CRANKY, LOL!)
Meanwhile, Cortez did a good thing for herself by inventing AOC for her twitter account -- and it's caught on.
Occasional Cortex used to have 26 million hits on Google and now has only 11 million. AOC is now gone to 25 million.
What I'm watching now is Flash Dunce. Did you read the two people on this thread who keeled over laughing -- one guying spitting out his coffee when they heard that term!
I heard the term yesterday and today did this meme. Google only has 5 hits for Flashdunce now. But knowing that FR can grow a catchy name, I have high hopes it will take off soon!
What's funny: for the longest time, Bing didn't really recognize Occasional Cortex, but now it has 89 million hits with AOC Cortez lagging today 4 million. Bing is way behind the trend line.
Hey, that’s a cool watermellon. Be great to produce that for a party. I think producing that is tougher than it looks.
You know, I get pretty angry on the state of things, but I laugh pretty easily about this stuff... thank goodness, and thanks for your contributions!
My Dad fought at D-Day Normandy and D-Day Okinawa.
We’ve got it easy. Create a few meme and comments on FR, Twitter, family. Collectively we can save our republic.

One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms. It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.

Diana. We’ve got the same problem in our family.
I think the nieces and nephews of the current generation has never seen America as we knew it — when working hard was what was required. Yeah, it’s tough, but there’s great satisfaction at winning and looking back at accomplishing something.
We’re only two years into Trump’s Presidency of 8 years. And already minds are getting “woke”. Hopefully in another six years America will have turned the corner.
It’s gonna require a lot of work to get it done. But we can do it.
Agreed.
I was also VERY happy to learn that another Niece is now a certified Welder! I gave her the BIGGEST HUG when I saw her at a family gathering today, and I made a HUGE deal out of it.
I know...I’m considered the ‘Crazy Aunt’ but it gets the job done! :)
I like the optimism!
