The Sunday Snewz Issue No. 22
July 16th, 2023: The Feel Good Edition
As I’ve stated many times in the past, by far the most difficult part of writing The Sunday Snewz is the time required reading about issues that feel soul crushing. Sanctioned child mutilation in the name of gender fluidity, censorship that looks a lot like that which led to the atrocities of the 20th century, a President who is led by the hand by foreign leaders as he shuffles like a dementia patient heading to the dining room for ice cream, inflation that has left 20 million Americans struggling to pay their utility bills, crime rates skyrocketing across major U.S. cities, Fentanyl deaths claiming the lives of over 100,000 in the past year, a southern border overrun by drug cartels involved in human trafficking, and last but not least, we happen to be on the verge of WWIII. Add to this the fact that this publication is premised on satire and real life is stealing the lime light, there are weeks I find myself overwhelmed and uninspired by the task.
This is one of those weeks. When this happens, I have no choice but to preserve my sanity and look for the good.
I found some.
How Many Blow Jobs Exactly?
As I watched Kamala Harris ever so intelligently give an explanation of AI this week, you know, “it’s sorta fancy, and it’s two words,” one question came to mind…
Exactly how many dicks did this woman suck to get to where she is today? Then without hesitation, the scene from the 1994 movie Clerks came flooding back to mind.
Disclaimer: if you’re prudish about the discussion of oral sex in comedy movies, skip the video. And if you listen to The Sunday Snewz and you have young ears around (which I’d recommend against not just today but as a general rule) mute the next several minutes.
So how many? Like the origins of the cocaine found in The White House this week, I don’t think we will never know. Thirty-seven? I’m guessing more.
When Real Life is Parody
Just when we thought the CDC couldn’t make themselves more suspect, they come out with guidance advising transgender men on how to attempt to “chestfeed” their infants.
You know what doesn’t feel good? Not having a single, reliable and uncorrupted health agency to turn to for guidance.
From the clear and obvious mishandling and out and out lies told during the pandemic, to promoting drugs for pharmaceutical companies for Monkey Pox which is no longer considered a public emergency, to now pretending biological males have sufficient colostrum and nutrients to feed an infant from their breasts, the CDC has officially nailed its coffin as a credible health agency.
There Are Still Good Men In This World
This week I went and saw the much talked about movie, The Sound of Freedom. Of course I did - I’m an antivaxxer, far-right extremist, Trump humper turned RFJ Jr. Democrat. Might as well add to the list someone who believes child sex trafficking is wrong. I know- what an extremist view huh? According to all MSM outlets, acknowledging that 2 million children are the victims of sex trafficking each year and the United States of America is the largest consumer of these “goods” makes you a Q-ANON supporter and any dad who believes this stuff clearly has “worms in his brain.”
I’ll admit I was skeptical. Not because of the subject matter but because most movies made my little-known production companies with a strong social justice story to tell are low-budget.
I was blown away. Not only does the film shed light on the horrific reality of just how prevalent this industry has become (second only to drug trafficking) with a 5000% increase over the past several years, but it is an amazing film.
You need to see this movie.
Men like Tim Ballard remind us all of the goodness that exists in humanity in the face of the darkest, most inconceivable evil at the other end.
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.
-William Blake
Agh the words of my dear friend William Blake. Reminding us that clinging to joy is destined to leave us empty. Instead, we take it not for granted when it comes and long for its’ return.
