Today, please enjoy these amuse-gueules for your edification and review. Brief, comprehensive and tantalizing.
Trump was simply magnificent at D-Day commemoration ceremonies. This week (I trust) we all took the time to join as Americans and citizens of the free world in recognizing the brave men and women who contributed to the collective and cooperative quashing, destroying and dismantling of Hitler and the Axis powers, specifically as we celebrated the 75th anniversary of D-Day. President Trump was magnificent in his presentations and delivery. You’d never know it after watching the passels of submental #FakeNewsMedia children attempting in unison to disseminate via choreographed and rote blather the usual tirades that these scripted imbeciles churned out like rancid sausage. They simply cannot and will not report on what our President does without infecting and contaminating their reportage with anything vaguely resembling the truth. That’s why I’ve not watched MSM news since October 28 of last year and I’m a better person for it. If I had all the time in the world and knew every word of our lexicon and mother tongue I couldn’t approximate my utter and full-throated abhorrence of these MSM jackals. Have I made myself clear?
25th Anniversary of the O.J. Simpson Murders. June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were brutally and savagely murdered by O.J. Simpson. You know it, I know and we all knew it. Then June 17, 1994, marked the most famous oxymoron since criminal justice: the now infamous slow speed chase that began the odyssey of the O.J. Simpson case that to this day the country is still fascinated by and with and for very good reasons. Remember also that there were no social media, no Twits, Faceboogers, YouBoobs, InstaCramps . . . nada. We actually had to wait until the evening or perhaps for a midday blurb or mention or we could turn to the then nascent iteration of CourtTV. It gave us celebrity lawyer commentators and analysts. It allowed the country to see the dark and crusty underbelly of a slipshod and corroded criminal justice system led by the (sorta) Honorable Lance Ito, the judiciary’s answer to Morty Gunty. Just imagine what the coverage would be today with mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging social media trolls, SJWs, virtue signalers and outrage clowns. Somehow we knew what the case was about and what it mean without 24/7 real-time digital dreck and drivel. How’d we do it?
Outrage as a national pastime. Thought vigilantism, outrage mobs, thought police, outrage as a blood sport, Salem witch trials redux intersecting with “modernity,” identitarian lunacy, intersectionality outrage by proxy, #MeToo derailed and diluted. Are you seeing what’s happening here, patriots? Are you keeping an eye on these horrors? Don’t let the nomenclature throw you off, don’t be confused for a moment.
The intellectual disconnect of the TONYs mentality. I want you to ask yourself this question (provided you watched last night’s TONYs for a picosecond): What audience did these folks speak to exactly? Let me repeat, what cross-section of America did these participants, celebrants, honorees, presenters and the like represent? Moreover, did they speak on behalf of the DNC? If so, this might be a critical mistake of incomprehensible proportion.
Cognitive Infiltration, anyone? Those of us in the #woke community will never forget the cosmic horrors promoter by Samantha Power’s vir, the profoundly scary Cass Sunstein, Obama’s regulation czar, who once advocated cognitive infiltration (described infra) as a 1984-esque, Stasi motif of paid rats, informants and government types monitoring social media platforms seeking and wreaking havoc on those who dare to expose, explore and promote the politically-unfortunate methodologies and thought minefields of dystopian doublespeak and unipolar reconfiguration. Please enjoy this piece from memory lane.
“[W]e suggest a distinctive tactic for breaking up the hard core of extremists who supply conspiracy theories: cognitive infiltration of extremist groups, whereby government agents or their allies (acting either virtually or in real space, and either openly or anonymously) will undermine the crippled epistemology of believers by planting doubts about the theories and stylized facts that circulate within such groups, thereby introducing beneficial cognitive diversity.” (219) Sunstein and Vermeule “Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures” (J. Political Philosophy, 7 (2009), 202-227). [Emphasis supplied.]

Lionel returns to and storms the stage of New York’s heralded and lauded and world-famous Cutting Room for an evening of (out)spoken word and bluegrass. This is not standup.

The Underground Roseanne Barr Interviews. I prefer to call them sessions. You must watch this high summit of sentience. Roseanne = America’s sweetheart = America’s mom. TV pioneer and visionary and now the inadvertent posterchild for fascistic censorship over the most insignificant of tweet bleats in the annals of recorded history. Please click here for INTERVIEW ONE and INTERVIEW TWO. But make sure you’re sitting down and that family members and caretakers are standing by once the paroxysms of laughing fits hit.
GeoEngineering: What the hell are they spraying? And the issue whose nonchalance confounds me to no end is that which is commonly and mistakenly referred to as #chemtrails. Please, focus on the nomenclature that’s critical and accurate. I commend to you my latest and best video interview with the inimitable and ineffable Dane Wigington of GeoEngineeringWatch.org that you must watch above and first of all. And please forward it accordingly.
Antisocial media. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, the Lionel Media website and browse the merch and marketing at the Official Lionel Nation Gear Store and above all, the Lionel Nation YouTube Channel where we engage in immersive, totally interactive live stream broadcasts twice daily. It leaves antediluvian talk radio in the dust. Where it shall remain.
