I've made No secret of the fact that I am personally a Christian of the United Methodist Church flavor...I have been proudly so my whole life, and guess what? When God finally tapped me on the shoulder and said "Hey Meatbag. It's TIME." I had the foundation and family background in faith to say...YOU DIG!
It is ALSO no secret that I have been, and ever shall be a SCREAMING far-LEFT soup-slurppin' Bernie Sanders PROGRESSIVE!
However... Former President Jimmy Carter is my HERO. PRESIDENT Joe Biden is my HERO. Mr. Fred Rogers is my HERO. Rev Al Sharpton is my HERO. Miles Davis and John Coltrane are my HEROES. Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, Earth wind and Fire, and Tower of Power are my HEROES! I am an almost OBSESSIVE fan of Led Zeppelin!
It is NO secret that I am one ECLECTIC MO-FO!
But on 5 November, 2024...I wasn't eclectic enough. I REALLY thought the Age of Aquarius was upon us AT LAST! Vice President Kamala Harris (ANOTHER Hero) was about to smash the HELL out of that most indestructible of glass ceilings....
D'OH!!!
Yeah...that's right my peeps. Me and about 49% (at present calculation) of the good people in this country got it perfectly WRONG. We were coming from an honest and heart felt place...but DAYUM did we get it SOOOOOO wrong!
What to do? Resist? Resist the most heinous and demonstrably WRONG aspects of the new USA that goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ and is at its HEART pure evil?
(To coin a term: HELL YES!)
Resist as a knee jerk reaction of indignation and sure fire righteous vendetta-laced retribution? HELL NO!
AL:L of us "Stevie's" out there will be VERY much behooved to listen to those who are now fairly and squarely IN CHARGE. MAGA WON! Get over it! (Says I to myself)
Let's learn and listen to each other. THAT is why I am killing myself working on getting WCBC together (OY...The stories sweet Deborah could tell at this point...)
Therefore, and TO WIT... here is a VERY important new category
"A VERY Dark Cup O' Joe" where I will feature and focus upon, and LIFT UP voices from MAGA and those who now (as we say in Starfleet) "have the con."
You dig?
So...to start things off, on the eve of 61st anniversary of that heart breaking day 11/22/63...
Here is one of the folks who inspired ALL of this... Joe Rogan...
Take it away Broseph Joseph:
I'm right there with YA brother. I'm fully convinced however, that we MUST have a look-see from within "the eyes of the beast" itself to learn what they are all about and maybe....get some kind of conversation going. I think it is possible with Joe...not so sure about the psychopath yet. I REALLY hate to say this... but the jury is still out on that one😃
Ugh, That was a tough watch. Two of my least favorite humans pretending like they know what they're talking about. I cringe when I hear the Orange One shift into his "serious" voice. shudder...
