D.L. Gardner: Lemmings or LEADERS?

 To those still rational enough to know their own biological gender (a challenge the woke have elevated to the equivalent of solving the Goldbach Conjecture) do not be surprised by a world of lemmings who cannot discern cause and effect, but only which way to run.

Years ago a company changed management, and the new team wanted to rally the troops around new directions and ways of doing things. The new VP said, “Leadership is finding which way the people are moving, jumping in front of them, and waving a flag!”


On January 21, 2021, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping chuckled together about the new American President. Putin snickered, “Within a year America will pay me for more of my oil to fund my annexing Ukraine. Xi replied, “By this time next year, Americans will no longer care about giving us billions of dollars of research to build our economy and military far beyond America’s reach.” 


Biden trashed all of Trump’s efforts to build America into the most powerful energy-independent nation on earth. Biden also closed down the intelligence community’s programs investigating  Chinese espionage into our secret military and industrial research. 


America’s political establishment won an overwhelming left turn in November 2020. Climate change moved from a social movement to a number one national priority. Candidate Biden did not hide his intentions: "Biden believes the Green New Deal is a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face. It powerfully captures two basic truths, which are at the core of his plan: (1) the United States urgently needs to embrace greater ambition on an epic scale to meet the scope of this challenge, and (2) our environment and our economy are completely and totally connected.”


When President Biden drastically reduced America’s production and processing of gas and oil, we immediately became a consumer of lower grade oil aka dirtier oil, and rising energy costs revved up costs for everything else. In other words, using Russian oil makes our environment much dirtier than using our own oil and gas.


Biden is renegotiating our nuclear agreement with Iran. If he can settle that deal, we can likely get more oil from Iran to span the current shortage. It will only cost us Iran’s freedom to accelerate its production of nuclear materials. Don’t worry, Russia is overseeing those negotiations.


In the meantime, Putin has invaded Ukraine, threatened to invade other former Soviet states whether they are under NATO or not, raised Russian nuclear forces to be on highest alert, and shows no sign of withdrawing any of his aggressive actions. Xi has certainly been entertained watching Biden and Co. blunder along with reckless reactions. It’s only a matter of time before Xi brings Taiwan under his wings. 


The rest of the world appears to be rallying behind Ukrainian President Zelensky and bands of Ukrainian patriots who have taken up arms to fight for their families and their homeland. Led by Zelensky, tens of thousands of Ukrainians have stepped into the breech to stop Putin’s professional military. 


President Zelensky is demonstrating exemplary leadership and courage to his people and the world. Ukrainians are courageously risking their own lives for love of family and country. What a tribute to valor!


America’s current leaders are looking for lemmings and a flag to connect our economy and environment completely.

WE sorely need more leaders like Desantis and Manchin.

WE sorely need the environmental crowd, the corrupt politicians (e.g. polosi, cocaine mitch, biden) to run like the proverbial lemmings, off a cliff. to down themselves in the sea, rather than take the rest of us with them.

If we listen to a poseur exbarista, we deserve what we get.

@5:03
The "poseur exbarista" would say you are 'just trying to get a date with her', AOC's hilarious line about her GOP critics motive who dissed her for not wearing a mask in Florida.

History will attribute Putin's mass destruction and slaughter of Ukraine to Biden's Left leaning self castration, his slow application of sanctions and his joy in driving up the price of oil and gas to finance both Putin's war and Biden's family income.

America has lost any semblance of discipline in the standard societal manner. We are doomed.

Don’t waste your time folks Comrade Gardner is supporting Putin’s Narrative again. He is his best soldier in Missippi!

Apparently Gardner is ignorant of the irony of accusing "America's current leaders" of looking for lemmings when the followers and adherents to America's previous leader are the biggest bunch of lemmings and cultists the world has ever seen.

On this one I agree with Gardner. As many good things as Trump may have done for this country, it will be overridden by his vitriol. I still say if Trump would simply replace the word "I" with "we" it would change the entire dialogue to be more palatable.

Hallucinatory BS. I'm sure everyone remembers when Trump refused military funding and aid to Ukraine because President Zelensky wouldn't provide him with dirt on Biden.

9:05 "I still say if Trump would simply replace the word "I" with "we" it would change the entire dialogue to be more palatable."
That will never happen because Trump only thinks in terms of "I" and does not care about anyone else.

The US produced more oil in 2021 than 2020.DL has carried water for Putin for years. He fell for him on his visit to Russia.

@2:18 on 3/7/22 - Agree with you. Trump is a narcissist. Narcissists frequently are sycophants to men they perceive as more powerful or charismatic than themselves. Narcissists make provocative statements and pose provocative questions in order to refocus attention on themselves. Narcissists lie with impunity in order to glorify themselves. Putin, being much smarter than Trump, used Trump as his "useful idiot" for four years. Putin delayed invading Ukraine until his useful idiot was no longer in power.

It seems clear that Putin wants Ukraine so it can run a gas pipeline from Russia to China across the sovereign country of Ukraine. Russia is nothing more than a big gas station to the world.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
