Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
You wouldn’t believe (well…actually maybe you would) the vitriol Kristin Chenoweth (liberal, LGBT activist) is getting for merely saying something decently human. It’s the whole “Charlie wanted gays dead. He’s not going to heaven!” Thing.
I just love her even more.
Tweet from Israeli Haviv Rettig Gur tied to Charlie Kirk and America
I've been in America for the past week, and I'll be here for a few days more. It's been a week of pain and rage and confusion. Charlie Kirk's murder surfaced a great many of America's latent anxieties and fissures. On the left, I witnessed a startled discovery of the scale of their own self-validating lies, in this case about both Charlie and his murder. Stephen King apologized for repeating the claim Charlie had called for the stoning of gays, a claim pushed as fact in left-wing discourse. Elsewhere in American discourse, raging antisemites garnered millions of likes and tens of millions of views by claiming Israel had killed Charlie - and a CNN anchor was stupid enough to ask on air if it was true.
Lies, rage and a sense of things falling apart, an America that feels itself dissolving, and with nowhere to turn to for wisdom and respite.
I can offer neither, though my heart breaks for America's current state. But there is wisdom to be found elsewhere, sages and books ...
