This is the first time I've heard the term "sealioning." It sounds like what my brother did to me for years and years and years. Ask the same questions over and over, demanding an answer every time. Declare that the answer given is nonsense. If I refused to answer ten or twelve emails in one day, I was said to be refusing to talk to him. Once he started questioning my husband and my husband told him, what's the point in answering; you already know what I'm thinking, as well as my motives.
I have many sealioning family and friends. Usually I won’t engage with them knowing that it will go nowhere, but when I do it always ends up them telling me to stop they don’t want to hear the truth any more. In Robert Hur’s report it was discovered that while having discussions with his ghost writer Joe Biden had gone to retrieve top secret documents and read them directly to his ghost writer. Jim Jordan pressed Hur on this and it came out that Joe Biden received 8 million dollars from his book deal which included the top secret information. Also the ghost writer deleted files from his computer destroying evidence, no charges!!!! How these Democrats can go in front of a camera and say Joe was completely exonerated of all charges shows what disgusting filthy horrible stinking disgraceful liars they are. That’s the disgusting scum that’s running our country. J.Goodrich
Some time ago I commented wrt to the federal government's handling of Fauci vs. RFK Jr. That is, Fauci enjoys a security detail while RFK Jr's request for the same was reportedly rejected by DHS Sec'y Mayorkas. But I realized later that there was a difference here: Fauci's security detail is from the US Marshals Service rather than the Secret Service. And I think this means that Mayorkas was not in the authorization loop for Fauci's security team.
The US Marshals Service is under the jurisdiction of the DOJ. So what are the chances that a DOJ intent on protecting Fauci from any unpleasantness will ever hold him accountable for what he's done?
I wanted to post a story I heard a long time ago and happened to come across it recently, it’s about undeserved favor (Gods Grace). Many of you may know this story but I hope you will appreciate it. There was an old man that went into a hospital in the foothills of the Sierra mountains in California, he was close to death. It was a very stormy night in December with flooding rains. The nurse there called her pastor to come and give the man his last rights, it was a little after midnight. The priest said I’ll get there as soon as I can. Well a 30 minute ride turned into nearly 3 hours. When he got there the nurse said the man had no family or friends that visited and he seemed kind of mean and quiet. Father Omalley went to the man’s room and said hi sir I was passing by and thought I’d come in and see how you’re doing. The man said it’s 3 in the morning and you know I’m dying. The father asked if there was anything in your life you need to make right. The man wouldn’t say a word. So father Omalley began to talk about the storm and football and other sports and eventually the man began to engage with father Omalley. 3 hours went by and daybreak began. The man said father there’s one thing that has bothered me my whole life. I never told anyone this I’ve lived with the guilt and shame for over 31 years. Two days before Christmas 31 years ago I was working at the railroad station where I worked my whole life. There was a bad storm raging like tonight. The crew and I were drinking heavily and I volunteered to go out and hit a button to allow a freight train to go by heading north. I mistakingly hit the wrong button and the freight train slammed into a passenger car killing a husband and wife and their two daughters. The man said I never had the courage to tell the family how sorry I was and no one ever knew what really happened that night. Silence fell in the room for minutes. Father Omalley took the man by the hand and said that was my mother and father and my two sisters. If I can forgive you Tom I’m sure God will as well. Doesn’t it seem today in this country the people that run our government lack basic Grace which as a servant of the people should be a basic principle? J.Goodrich
AS long as the bureaucrats continue to ignore the law and the reason and logic that it is based on, this country is lost. There is no more America except to say it only exists in the memories of those that practiced self governance and what it once entailed when rules were followed and rational thinking wasn't racist. Sadly I look forward to the eminent collapse because half this country deserves the chaos they refuse to acknowledge they caused by their fence sitting and going along to get along mentality(dysfunction)
Spent 2 1/2 hrs yesterday at a dealership to have 45’ worth of work. Noticed something interesting that fit with what my wife found reviewing recent comments re that dealership. The bulk of the negatives were folks unhappy with the sales force and it was that group that I had noticed there. My stepdad was a salesman and knew a bunch who like him could sell double dips to lactose intolerant eskimos. Because like medicine, and any of the other arts, selling takes a particular aptitude. You have it or you don’t. But today aptitude is a dirty word. That of course was the problem with the soviets. The next 5 yr plan needed engineers,then all the new hi school grads became engineers, even if a slide rule was dangerous in their hands. Aptitude played no role in work deployment and incompetence reigned. We are moving that way now ourselves.
Yep! The Friday Funnies are always the best way to start the weekend! So glad you take the time to make us laugh. There is so much sad news these days.
Well, Mister (MISTER!) Mulvaney’s back. His "Days of Girlhood…" video, starring hisself and a few other sexually confused/deranged "dancers" parading hither&yon was fun to watch. With a caveat. As all of his body of work attests to, he seems to have a very disturbing view of women - his latest video was a knockoff, a parody of Barbie, I guess, as viewed through the lens of "girl-face." It made me laugh, uneasily, not at the girl-face antics and lyrics, but at what this says about him, an emaciated pathetic twink, frolicking with similars. What’s more horrifying is seeing an icon of modern female success ( 🤔) , "Lady" Gaga, cavorting with and uplifting this cartoon character and his view of what it means to be female.
DOJ! Interested to hear the J6 bomb situation included the CIA. Bongino advised that was illegal.
The Rematch - too true
Sealioning - Have never to my knowledge engaged in it. My 'questioning' is mainly in response to head on attacks generally about how stupid I or my takes are. Rarely, if someone has taken a position with another that I consider destructive for that other I'll question their advice. Debating and incessant questioning aren't tools in my kit. The incessant questioningin paticular is a waste of time and I don't recommend it. My Mother's questioning was designed to draw blood, using the tactic to expose fatal deficiencies. She succeeded in getting a very poor choice for the manager of the operation she worked in fired and a better choice hired. When one is or cast as an underdog, focused questioning can avoid defeat and kinetics. I do agree, sealioning is disgusting and wholly inappropriate.
In the meantime, gather you're having some rain but a bright weekend is on the way. Hope it will be a smashingly enjoyable weekend.

Somehow and sadly so, our President makes the perfect representative for fewer chips in the bag.

It's not our country anymore!!
Where is the justice? Where is the equal justice under the law?
Dr. Robert and Dr. JM,
This is One of Your Very Best!!! Rollercoaster of Life. You made Me laugh!!! Thank You, Ed
Thank you for the reality check!
For some time I have thought that I invented Sealioning when I was four, to be exact. I have been calling it passive-aggressive behaviors.
