Oh, the ironies swirling around Columbus Day
Yesterday was Columbus Day, the traditional official day where Americans mentally or culturally mark the European discovery of what became America, also known as the New World.
Columbus Day has become a cultural battlefield, a friction point between cultural traditionalists, fair-minded empathists thinking of the displaced Amer-Indians, and cultural Marxists seeking to just tear down all of America and Western Civilization. That my calendars all say that yesterday was both Columbus Day and Indigenous People’s Day is evidence that the cultural Marxists are successful in penetrating into our national mindset and identity. This is more meaningful than the illegal defacement and vandalism of Christopher Columbus statues everywhere by knuckle-draggers performing as humans.
But oh, the rich ironies that surround all of this debate and discussion and deliberate, wilful ignorance on all sides!
Irony, one asks? Why yes, sh*t tons of ironic moments surround the Columbus debate.
First among them is the scientific fact (not theory) that Christopher Columbus was in fact…Chaim Colon… a Jew. How ironic is it that among the greatest modern tormentors of the Jews (the Spanish, and the Catholic Church) then became the greatest cheerleaders for one, when it suited their own cultural appropriation desires?
And is it not ironic that the evil 1492 Spanish total ethnic cleansing of the Jews from Spain, and the theft of their money, their businesses, their homes, and even their children, and their mass forced conversions and burning alive at the stake for religious “thought crimes,” then resulted in one of these same Jews fleeing the Spanish crime wave, and in his flight with a large crew of Jews aboard the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, Columbus ended up locating a large and largely uninhabited continent upon which all abused people – Celts, Protestants, and Jews – could find refuge?
And was it not ironic that the barbaric Spanish Inquisition, which was really just a mass sadism, rape, pillage, and steal scheme by the Church (led by the ironically appropriately named Queen Isabella, which is the Latin name for Jezebel, the notoriously evil pagan Jewish queen of Biblical times), was so evil that it ended up creating the Protestant Reformation in response?
And that those same fleeing Protestants then populated Columbus’ “New World” and founded the free and prosperous America that we all know and love? That then relies upon the Jewish-Catholic Columbus as its modern day patron saint and national symbol?
Quite a cycle of ironies, stacked on top of one another.
And about this “Indigenous People’s Day” thingy bob: Who are these Amer-Indians? I mean yeah, we all know they most likely pre-dated the arrival of Europeans, but where did they come from, originally?
ASIA!
As if Asia is any closer to America than Europe…the take-away here being that the American Indians are themselves migratory transplants in America, also from a distant continent. They are, in effect, no different than Christopher Columbus, the Protestant Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock and Jamestown, or the subsequent waves of Italian and Irish and European immigrants.
I dunno, but maybe one human migration is the same as another? And if Europeans being here in America is some sort of huge racial crime, then what do we say about the mass invasion of Europe by non-Europeans? Should only fair-skinned indigenous Europeans inhabit Europe? They are the natives there, after all.
Native land is native land is native land, and trying to say that one native land is off limits to subsequent human migration, while the other native land should be wide open, is racially discriminatory. Which I think is actually the whole point of this cultural Marxism attack on Columbus Day and America’s Western heritage. If you ask me, it smells like an imperialistic Han Chinese plot to keep the Asian migration to America wide open, and the undermining of Western freedoms ongoing….
Oh, the Biblical irony of Trump’s win
Anyone with even a minimal exposure to the Bible knows that miracles happen and that God operates in strange ways. Well, it is no miracle that Donald Trump won re-election to the presidency, because the radicalized anti-America Democrat Party has estranged over half the country, but it is quite richly ironic that Trump won this election.
The irony is that had the 2020 election not been stolen, Trump woud have been leaving office right now. Who knows how effective he would have been in his second consecutive term, given that he was still barely keeping his head above the DC quicksand when the 2020 election was held.
Now, however? Well, after surviving four years in the political wilderness, being cut to the bone over and over by cruel and evil people with their lawless lawfare, Trump has emerged even stronger, smarter, more experienced, with truly fine-tuned, finely honed political instincts and skills.
If people thought Trump was tough and determined in 2020, well, I suspect they ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Trump is likely going to absolutely roar back into office like a cleansing tornado or an angry dominant lion scattering his foes in all directions, because he now knows where the power buttons are, the skeletons lie, the bureaucracy’s weak points, and where the really dangerous people are located. If Trump doesn’t do a complete and utter, devastating, crushing re-make of the DC bureaucracy, then he learned nothing from his time in office and in the wilderness.
Trump could not have become the truly shining knight in white armor without having gone through all of the torment and abuse he experienced. His time out of power in brutal conditions tested him, improved him, and made him into an incredible warrior for democracy and for We, The People.
And that is the irony. Rich, rich irony. Had the DC Swamp just left him in office another four years back in 2020, he probably would have floundered along, hamstrung by the rogue bureaucracy and the corrupt Uniparty. Now…change is coming, bitches. And it was you lawless, thieving Democrats and Uniparty people who made Trump into who and what he now is.
God is indeed great. A greater comeback and national salvation story could not be dreamed of. Except in the Bible.
irony, whoosh, right over someone’s head
Him: “I am sorry, Josh, but we have decided not to invite you to our wedding.”
Me: “WHAT?! After thirty-some years of close friendship, I can’t come to your wedding? For real?”
Him: “For real. I’m sorry, I know it must bother you…”
Me: “You are damned right it bothers me! How about Viv, can she at least be in attendance?”
Him: “Sorry, no. I know, I know, it’s weird, but we both feel like you guys just do not belong there. I mean, your views are pretty right wing, really pretty bigoted, to be honest.”
Me: “Bigoted, me? Her? How? Are you forgetting that you came out of the closet at my apartment at Penn State? We have been close friends for a really long time, and I really care about you, and so does Viv, which you already know, I don’t need to say it, and we care about you and don’t give a damn that you are gay. How can we be bigoted against gays if we are willing to come to your gay wedding in the first place and celebrate with you?!”
Him: <crickets> <silence>
Lesson 1: Minds only work when they are open. Political correctness has shut down minds everywhere. Instead of opening people up and making them inquisitive and interested in other views, PC turns people into mindless judgmental bigots who hate even their oldest friends, for the big crime of not agreeing with them on every little thing.
Lesson 2: Sometimes not being invited to a wedding is a good thing. What the heck was I going to get him or B as a gift, anyhow? Welp, don’t have to worry about that now!
Irony is not necessarily an important part of a person’s diet, but here, have some
I will take some irony, please, with a heaping side of steaming crow.
Oh, not for me!
I am going to serve it up to those Americans who believe that a Christian baker MUST be coerced by government force to bake a cake for someone he disagrees with politically, but that the owner of the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, has every right, even a duty, to expel and not serve people (Sarah Sanders of the White House staff) she disagrees with politically.
Then there’s a big serving of the same irony and crow for those who believe it’s just fine for public employee unions to force union dues from public employees who do not support the unions’ political activism, but it is just terrible to allow people to contribute their own money to political campaign PACs.
Democrat congresswoman Maxine Waters has become a radical firebrand for angry Socialists across America. She has said some real irony-laden doozies, like “We are sending a message to every Trump-supporting American that you are not welcome here!”
Followed by “We must welcome everyone who crosses our borders, whether they are illegal or not.”
For whatever reason having to do with artificially inflating the voter rolls, Waters and her supporters value illegal invaders over American citizen taxpayers. A lot of Black Americans wonder what that’s all about. But Waters is going to have a big heaping serving of irony n’ crow, too.
Then there’s a plate of irony and crow for Rob Cox, the loose-lipped, itchy trigger finger Reuters editor who late today directly blamed President Trump for a shooting at a newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland, but who has never said a word about the mass shootings and massive amounts of shootings in Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other “gun-free” zones. Now the most very politically partisan and fact-challenged Mr. Cox’s integrity and credibility as a “reporter” are shot, as zero facts were available to him at his moment of big mouthed fame, and those facts beginning to subsequently dribble out don’t put Trump or his words at the scene of the crime.
See the symmetry here?
Hypocrisy has a way of catching up with people. That is called irony.
The crow is extra, gratis, on the house, served up by a host of recent US Supreme Court decisions contrary to what the once-irony-deficient here believed.
Two big plates. Hope you enjoy your meal. If you don’t enjoy it, then quit being a hypocrite and stop using double standards.
