‘It’s Locked and Loaded’: A Veteran Mom Explains the Facts of Life To Thug On I-10 in New Orleans

I suspect she often does exactly that.

Montana; instructions unclear. Are you saying the media is not to be trusted?

Apologize for the lack of clarity…
As a retiree, I am looking for part-time employment as a ghost writer for MSNBC. I figured that I could submit an example of my creative writing, along with my C.V., to demonstrate that I have their “Look / Feel – style elements” down pat.

Back to your query: The Media can be trusted ABSOLUTELY.*

*the Media can be trusted absolutely to only portray the “facts” and viewpoint that supports their political patrons priorities.

Montana; Ahh, thank you for clearing that up, I feel as if the fog is lifting. Good luck in your quest for employment with one of the nation’s finest disseminators of The Truth to those who seek only what they feel they should hear. A tip or two to aid you in your journey, if I may; I cannot help but notice certain words and phrases find favor with the editors, such as the word Gunman(™?) which should be included in the leading sentence, as well as the title (critical) of any article covering any crime related incident and repeated often throughout, preferably ending the article with it being used at least twice in the closing paragraph; also critical. Be sure to include it in any subheadings or bylines with bold type as well. Unsure if the actual use or even the presence of a real firearm in said incident is important but artistic licence is, of course, a fundamental right and competition is fierce, so no matter. As well, it seems to be a popular trend with the editorial staff at this august establishment to prioritize the many incidents involving the presence of white supremacy oriented violence so prevalent in our society today. This would be regardless of the skin color of the perpetrator(s) involved, of which it would of course be racist to point out, so caution is advised here as at first glance it may appear confusing but I’m sure continued exposure to your new surroundings will provide acclimatization… if not immunity. I believe these two simple things should be the main focus in your writing to help guarantee success, possibly even rapid advancement in the field. Indeed, who knows where it might all lead? Hope this helps and yes, hammer the feels, for this is The Way. Postscript: if MSNBC is unwilling I could put in a word with their sister corporation up here, the CBC. Perhaps you have heard of them? I hear their coffers have just been refilled by yet another Liberal government grant of hundreds of millions (so as to ensure lack of bias, you understand, bless his little heart, and propagating the truth is so expensive these days what with inflation from the fallout of the Trump disaster) so opportunity abounds for those willing to put themselves out there and the farther the better in today’s competitive field of creative journalism, I imagine. All the best, Montana and be sure to tell Rachel we think of her often up here, at least in the Western Provinces, if you two should meet.

Montana, check back here later for a long ass but, I hope, amusing reply to your latest as mine is once again “awaiting moderation” by Big Brother. That’s gotta be near 50/50 now with three in a row at last bat just today, none worded any differently than these. Be a shame to pen that screed and have you miss it. Cheers.

Twenty-two years ago a couple of Canadians and I were camping up along the 49th Parallel. Having had a few sips of Canada’s finest distillations whilst relaxing around the fire we were deep into solving all the New Worlds problems. One of the guys spoke up “this whole border is F’d up, eh”. Well, I mumbled something in reply and he followed up with “yeah, it’s in the wrong place, eh”. I asked where it should be. He replied that the border should run South To North from the Gulf Coast (New Orleans straight up…more or less along the Mississippi River) all the way to Santa’s Workshop. Canada would be the Eastern country and the USA would be the Western country. He said the politics would be more closely aligned if we did this (he is from Edmonton, Alberta).

I think, for the most part, he was correct. To make it work, we would have to have mass deportations from coastal California, Oregon and Washington…looking forward to helping some of the Hollyweird vermin pack their shituff for their migration to the Utopia awaiting them along the Eastern Seaboard.

I can’t speak for Canada, but the I-95 corridor would be more appropriate for the US (politically Appalachia is at least as far from the East Coast as most points West). It might not even require too many “deportations” if it went I-5 to I-95.

Montana, yup, and right up the Western side of Ottawa. Shame about our Newfies but so be it. We can wall off the San Fran area and just abandon it to them, they won’t last long anyways. We’ll have to pull Snake Pliskin out again though and send him in to extract jwm and friends. Wouldn’t be right otherwise. I’ve spent a month and a half each spring for 6 yrs now riding from central bc down to may-hico and thru AZ, etc. Miss it very much. Cheers.

Nasty. Imagine your driving thru a liberal residential neighborhood. Look at the houses as you go by and think how many basements must house one of these drooling, green haired, nostril ringed window lickers, feverishly pounding away on their mom’s laptop, or in front of it. I got a hundred bucks says you start speeding up.
