Minneapolis in the news - again

What is going on with my home state of Minnesota?  Ten years ago nobody could locate us on a map and the majority of Americans thought we were part of Canada.  Suddenly, Minnesota is ground zero for social unrest.  

The latest is ICE killing a woman.  That's about as far as I will go as I do not trust any media accounts as to what happened.  Here is what I do know.  PMF, who is part of my coven, lives in South Minneapolis and was ground zero for the George Floyd protests and now the ICE shooting protests.  I tend to take her first-hand account of what is going on rather than AI doctored video footage with a political slant.  

I long for the days when the world thought Minnesota was just a bunch of Eskimos living in igloos.    

Blue January

 Batten down the hatches, y'all.  Things are about to get even weirder.  The Orange Cheeto thinks he can bully his way into anything and everything.  I don't agree with his going into Venezuela and kidnapping their president while simultaneously threatening to overtake Greenland?  Is diplomacy non-existent?  Why alienate ourselves from Europeans?  Are we nuts?  

On another note, the bite of high insurance premiums for health insurance, car insurance, and home insurance are straining budgets.  Of course, those costs are not factored into the core inflation rate.  I do not believe for one second the economy is as "affordable" as we are being told.  

Let's also factor in job losses in the tech and entertainment industries in California.  Those two industries are pillars of our economy.  Silicon Valley is undergoing tremendous layoffs as AI creeps into replacing employees, as is the Hollywood film industry.  Let's not forget California's wineries are struggling as well as fires, lack of insurance, and lack of workers (they are all getting rounded up and deported) in conjunction with diminishing interest in alcohol consumption are also playing a part in our slumping economy.

What has fueled California's economic engine for a long time is sputtering out.  High costs of living and high taxation is driving companies to other states.  High taxation is driving anybody with any means out of state to avoid forking even more money over to Sacramento.  

Yes, California has beautiful weather with stunning landscapes.  However, we can't eat the weather and we can't eat the scenery.   We need industry we can sink our teeth into.  Does anybody know what that is?  What do we have left to offer the world?  Marijuana?   

All I can see is California being a giant vacation rental for the rest of the world.   

Where am I going with all of this?  Newsome is going to make a presidential run.  High taxes, high homelessness, high crime, meddlesome bureaucracy makes getting anything done next to impossible.  DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM.  Plus, Newsome is part of the same old and tired democratic party machine that thinks they can put forth a candidate that has been blow-dried and hairsprayed as their front runner.  Newsome is about as authentic as a three-dollar bill.  He is nothing more than a priveleged brat born into California's political elite.  He is a status-quo democrat and a part of the establishment that is effing over the people.  Do not buy that he is "for the working people."  Bullshit.  The only buying going on here is billionaires of our government whether democrat or republican.  

 

 

Coven Divorce

Yes, my Minnesota coven has had a good run.  We were friends for 50+ years.  All good things must come to an end.  I now get why people divorce after 40+ years of marriage.  Sometimes it takes that long to figure out manipulation, gaslighting, and narcissism.  And sometimes it takes just as long to figure out that nobody's nasty core personality is going to change no matter how much flowery prose they post on social media claiming how much they love everybody and wish for world peace.    

I've always said my superpower is calling truth to BS in five-words-or-less.  I have owned my own BS with the coven when I am wrong.  However, there is one who is now off the charts in "unapologetic love with herself" to the degree where she is now tattooing it on her forearm (for real).  All of her "unapologetic self-love" is nothing more than a self-empowering, feminist sound-byte justification to treat other people like shit and to validate her narcissism.  

SYB can NOT see her own BS.  Yet SHE is the mental health professional who has to "dumb herself down" to be with us.  No shit.  Well, you know me.  I called her on it.  Of course, she did not like it despite pleading with the coven that "we must have honest and open communication to move forward and to move past the yuck."

Well, the honest and open communication comes with terms and conditions - we can't say ANYTHING about HER bullshit.  SYB can't own her own shit.  She can dish it out, but she can't take it.  I stood my ground as did SSP and PMF in attesting that SYB thinks she is holier-than-thou and that her shit does not stink.  Time will tell as what her adoring minions will do.  

Well, SYB......Go and love yourself.  There is another interchangeable four letter word I could have used instead of love, but I am being polite.   SYB does not want friends.  She wants perpetual adoration, which is a classic trait of a NARCISSIST.  They need their constant supply of ego pumps.  If the people in their social circle do not supply them with the ego pumps the narcissist needs, they are tossed out the car window faster than a bad burrito from 7-11.  

Meeting SYB you would think she is the champion of the "underprivileged retards who never learned to reed so good."   It's all a fake cover for being a narcissistic control freak concerned ONLY about HERSELF and how many LIKES she can get on Facebook.  God help you if you have a different opinion from hers on anything.  She is right.  You are wrong.  End of discussion.  

Oh, by the way....did you know SYB was molested by her dad 50 years ago?  Well, that that should be her next tattoo on her forehead as she tells every gas station attendant and cashier her story.   While I am sad that happened to her, she never asks about the rest of the coven of the abuse WE experienced growing up.  It's all about her......all the time......done.
