Confusing times

It's scary that former Japanese Shinzo Abe was killed with a home made gun. That is kind of a home made abortion, but at the other end of the political spectrum. Something tells us that if guns were outlawed in the United States, we would have the most home made guns in the planet. Prohibition does not work. It did not work for alcohol. It does not work for drugs. It would not work for guns. It will not work for abortions.

The political right here gets super energized by the topic of guns. Guns are sacred in our country. Democrats make a terrible mistake trying to regulate and outlaw guns. That wakes up the MAGA zombies. Better to leave guns alone. 

Americans accept the risk of living in a gun carrying, gun hazing nation. That is part of who we are. Those unwilling to accept the risk, are always welcome to migrate or stay home. Part of the social contract in our Nation is that every single time that we go out, we run the risk of being killed by a MAGA mass shooter. It's like we are all living in a violent video game.

It is surprising, super surprising actually, that there was a political assassination today in Japan. Japan is the free country in the world with the most strict anti-gun laws. To some extent, that confirms the notion that when a crazy or violent person wants to harm another person, not even the sky is the limit in the imagination of that violent person.

Now, how come our country that is all about freedom and guns, can have states that ban abortion. They say that all life is precious, but they confuse the life of a sack of embryonic cells with the life of a person. The same folks that say that all life is precious are in favor of killing animals for the fun of eating them. The same folks who say that all life is precious seem to hate immigrants and non beige colored lives. 

We live in exciting, interesting, and fun times full of surprising twists and turns. This brings us to another surprise of the day. The jobs report for June was significantly stronger than expected. You would think that everyone would celebrate the news. As it turns out, now the experts say that a strong jobs report is "bad". The fear is that with everyone employed and loaded with money, prices will continue going up, forcing the federal reserve to keep making money more expensive by increasing interest rates. 

Increasing interest rates may mean that the U.S. dollar will continue getting stronger for the time being. Did you see that the dollar is the strongest that it has been against the euro and the yen in over 20 years? That's impressive. Yet again, a strong dollar is supposed to be bad for the economy now because the price of American goods overseas is relatively higher, reducing sales. 

So it seems that there is no way to win here. If everyone is employed, that is "bad". If the dollar is strong, that is "bad". Now, if people lose their jobs that is also "bad". If the dollar gets weak like a third world country currency, that is "bad". What the heck is "good" then? Are things "good" only when we have a king robbing the poor to keep the rich richer?

 Food for thought. What do you think?

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather. Northern latitudes have less ultraviolet (UV) radiation plus are cold requiring people to cover their skin. The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
