From the Desk of John Rourke – August 24th, 2017

 

Trump made a 77-minute speech in Arizona. I listened to some of it and while predictable – it was very good. Outside law enforcement was pelted with rocks and water bottles. That was also quite typical as the snowflakes began to melt.

Also at the “protest” in Phoenix, the John Brown Gun Club showed up armed with AR’s and Ak’s professing to the media they were there to stand up for the violent protesters against “white supremacists”.

If you haven’t heard ESPN removed an announcer for a football game because his name is “Robert Lee” – afraid some might be offended as his name matches that of a Confederate General.

People – this is a perfect example of political correctness gone WAY TOO FAR.

Entities such as BET (Black Entertainment Television) disturb me. In a world where so many call for equality and fairness – to have a television channel purposely segregate an entire race is just wrong. Now – I believe in freedom of speech and people, for the most part, should be able to do what they want if they do not hurt anyone else but come on. If the WET (White Entertainment Network) were to be created those supporting BET would freak.

Apple picking season is almost here – at least in my area. Always enjoy taking a trip to the North Carolina mountains and walking through rolling hills of an apple orchard.

    I was just thinking the other day how much I miss having fruit right outside the door. Growing up, we had a small (very old) apple orchard, crab apples below the house, and a couple quince trees on the other side of the garage. We had all the pies and jellies that we wanted. Not too long ago I spent a small fortune for a jar of quince jelly because the kids had never tried any, and I’ve always loved it.

    I saw a short article yesterday that Yale is removing and hiding a stone carving of a Pilgrim pointing a gun at an Indian. How far is America going to go to erase history?

    Bending to the whims of the world instead of standing on Moral Ground, and founding principles, Harvard’s Motto originally was’ “Christ and the Church”, then they changed it to “Christ and the Church and Truth”. Today it is only “Truth”. Well today truth is defined by what people can be convinced is true. Look at the last election and the candidate that continually lied before congress, yet everyone believed them because they wanted to. Not because what they were saying was truthful or factual in any way. Kind of like how we must now accept someones delusion of their perception of what is true, even though according to science they are wrong.

    Look up speeches by Joseph Goebbels, Nazi propaganda minister. Then watch the commentary on CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS. I think you will find the histrionics and the overall theme quite similar. That’s why I stopped watching all televised news as well as most internet media. It’s nothing less than propaganda to mold your opinion and to agitate you. No thank you. I’ll let JR filter it out.

    – Love that picture…click, download.

    – Yeah I heard about ESPN. They are hemorrhaging subscribers and wont last much longer.

    – Funny, I had the Exact conversation 2 day ago about BET vs WET. Or HES, Hispanic Entertainment Television.

    – Interesting, I didn’t know about the John Brown Gun Club. I wonder if this was the fact why none of the paid agitators showed up.
