Thank Who?
Anyone who begins their statement with, “As a…” should be automatically dismissed as a self-important nobody, desperately trying to be relevant by speaking from a position of imagined authority. The best strategy in dealing with these idiots is to actively ignore anything they say and mock them mercilessly from behind our social media anonymity (which Nimrata would like to eliminate). So, now that we’ve got THAT out of the way…
As a man who is rediscovering his faith and has become an earnest and sincere student of Christianity, I’d like to respond to Ms. Rapinoe’s statements upon her most ignominious exit from professional sports.
First, I think we can all agree that we wish Ms. Rapinoe all the success in the world, even if it isn’t in soccer. When God closes one door, he opens another, right?
Wait, what am I saying? My apologies to Ms. Rapinoe. I meant to say when the Goddess closes a door, he/she/they/xe opens another. Did I get that about right, Ms. Rapinoe?
So what the heck am I even talking about? Let’s begin at the beginning. On November 13th, the Toronto Sun reported,
“…Rapinoe, playing for OL Reign in the NWSL championship on Saturday against Gotham FC, went down mere minutes into the match, crumbling to the ground while trying to close down on an opponent.”
You see, Ms. Rapinoe apparently tore or otherwise injured her Achilles tendon which forced her exit from an artificially-ballyhooed, but mediocre, soccer career a bit earlier than she had planned. In fact, she had announced her retirement earlier this year.
So why am I haranguing the purple-haired lesbian version of Colin Kaepernick? Her inartful statements forced her to stumble into a theological battlefield for which she was woefully ill-equipped and unworthy to enter. Her statements were neither professional nor even limited to the woe-is-me variety, which could be completely understood. Hell, she didn’t even try for the “I’ll heal up and get back on that horse!” variety either.
Instead of making a classy statement that would make Lou Gehrig’s mother jealous, she instead chose the profanity laden statement attacking monotheists around the world.
“I’m not a religious person or anything and if there was a god, like, this is proof that there isn’t.”
“This is f***ed up. It’s just f***ed up. Six minutes in and I eat my Achilles.”
Your hubris and lack of a stretching routine is showing…
Can we just take a moment to deconstruct her statement please? You don’t have to be any sort of theologian to recognize logic crafted with the sophistication of a middle-schooler in a bad school district. I mean, geesh. I honestly don’t know where to start…The mind reels at the ignorance of her statement. Something doesn’t exist and if it did exist, its actions prove that it doesn’t exist.
Way to go, Plato.
And here’s the truly interesting piece of this trainwreck masquerading as cognition: Her statement betrays her assumptions of what she thinks God is to Christians. We can read and infer so much about her (ehem) ‘unconscious bias.’
According to Ms. Rapinoe’s worldview, her statement reveals that she believes that the God that Christians believe in is some sort of cloud-riding Santa Claus that rains down boons from heaven to all the good-works doing lesbians. And when this God decides to withhold said boons, the toddler stomps her feet and cries, “I hate You! You never existed anyway!”
Even I, a JV Christian just learning the ropes, can see how flawed her thinking is. But setting aside her (very) flawed logic and (very) flawed understanding of what Christians (and Muslims and Jews) believe, why do you suppose her first instinct was to reference God in the first place? Is the King of the Universe top of mind lately, even for Ms. Rapinoe? And this is a sincere question! Why in the world, in the throes of the death rattle of her sports career did she comment on something she claims doesn’t exist? Why was God her first thought?
Would you mind if I made a silly little prediction? I predict that Ms. Rapinoe will, in the coming years, divest herself from the Left’s sick stew of ideological hypocritical (and hyper-critical) claptrap and eventually have the ‘come to Jesus’ moment that so many before her have had.
Go to any AA meeting and you’ll meet people who had to experience the absolute worst life has to offer before they could acknowledge a power greater than themselves exists. I wonder if having your entire livelihood stripped from you in a public and humiliating moment qualifies? Lest we forget that Milo Yiannopolous left his gay lifestyle behind and embraced Christianity, no?
But here’s the whole punchline to the joke that is Rapinoe herself. After all the rhetorical nonsense she blathered on about, she still put her foot in her mouth one last time by saying,
“Thank God I have a f***ing deep well of a sense of humour.
It’s devastating to go out in a final so early.”
Thank Who?

A Sea Change in Stumptown?
To a typical Portlander, if the destructive results of Liberal dogma remained in the city center, the virtue-signaling voters felt safe in their hip neighborhoods surrounding the city. But a funny thing happened on the way to Marxist Utopia: the drug addicts, homeless camps, needles, fires and Antifa foot soldiers didn’t stay in the city. The Liberal cancer has now metastasized and spread outside of the ‘no judgment zone’ of the city; it is now encroaching on liberal families just trying to make a living. Homeless camps are now popping up in quiet, ‘nice’ neighborhoods of real taxpayers who depend on property values to climb. What’s a liberal to do?
Freedom’s Mid Term Exam
In 2020, the world essentially faced a Freedom Pop Quiz given by a corrupt school master. Over many decades, we had grown lazy and complacent in what maintaining a free country and citizenry required. And after decades of no studying or maintaining Liberty’s sharp edge, our masters sprung a pop quiz on the world. We were caught flat-footed and many of us failed this test.
Now, in 2023, our enemies believe that they will meet the same citizen army on Liberty’s battlefield that they met in 2020. They have a 2019 mindset believing us to be naive waifs anxiously waiting to be told what to think and how to behave to avoid contracting a common cold dressed up with uncommon propaganda. They wrongfully believe that they can step in the same river twice and that what worked before will work again.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
The Deep State – The Lou Bega of Tyranny
The Lou Bega of Tyranny
The plans our enemies have for us are like a sheet of music with one note on it. They keep hitting that note over and over and over again and wonder why we don’t bend our knee in compliant bliss. Masks, Lockdowns and Social Distancing, Oh My!
But here’s the good news: the very fact that these wannabe despots know only one way to create power and control for themselves means that we can be ready for it when it (invariably) raises its ugly head yet again (and again, and again) andobliterate it.
Now credit where credit is due! Their use of COVID (if it truly exists at all) as the ‘force majeure’ to get people to take a poisoned injection to massacre the entire globe is the ultimate fake out of fake outs. To be honest, it was a stroke of genius. The sickness doesn’t kill you, the cure does. I mean, wow. Congratulations all around. Mr. Gates, Mr. Soros, Mr. Zuckerberg, you really do deserve all the accolades that hell has waiting for you.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Once We Were Blind…
And the reason their plan worked so well (to our unending astonishment) was because so many of us were blind to the idea that a government would ever try to murder its own citizens. And yet, here we are with “died suddenly” as a cut/paste headline for the past 2 years. Their plan worked perfectly and their hegemonic expectations were very nearly met.
But there’s a downside for our enemies that they likely DIDN’T see coming or could predict.
While many people believed the lie and clamored to get injected with a deadly poison, it was not nearly as many as their plan at planetary population reduction required.
While the power that their total control over mass communication (propaganda) is absolute, they simply did not appreciate the viral nature of the Truth itself. And once Truth’s camel nose got under the tent of a person’s mind via memetic communication, there was no getting it out. Doubt begets doubt, and that doubt spreads like a…well, like a virus among a gloriously unmasked citizenry.

New Tyranny, Same as the Old Tyranny
So you’ve probably seen the rumors swirling around lately that mask requirements and other sundry lockdowns are back on the horizon. This, paired with the recent glamor shot of our President, seems to indicate that our betters figure they know a good thing when they impose one. Time to roll out Old Reliable: COVID Variant number 2,036!
In fact, some universities and businesses are already requiring masks and shots for their students and customers. If you hadn’t heard, there’s a small liberal arts college (is there any other type?) in Atlanta called Morris Brown which has already reinstituted mask requirements. These assholes couldn’t wait to regain the control they tasted in the last couple years and the mere whiff of it was enough for them to play their one-note magnum opus: Masks!
They would have beenchomping at the bit to reinstitute this lunacy if only it weren’t for their N95 masks getting in the way. I swear, if I hear the term “flatten the curve” ever again, I’ll start a petition to expel Atlanta from the Republic.
But because our slave masters have already shot their silver bullet of ultimate control via the shots and slave muzzles and it didn’t result in their total control, any attempted replay of their one-note holocaust is doomed to raucous and hilarious failure.
Try to inject me with a myocarditis and turbo cancer inducing injection once, shame on me.
Try to inject me with a myocarditis and turbo cancer inducing injection twice, I must be a Liberal masochist sheep that does what he’s told.
Now, while the prospect of again seeing Covidiots masking themselves up while alone in their car, Karens acting as volunteer plantation overseers at the local Piggly Wiggly to keep the refusnik bucks in check or meek and horrified sideways glances when I happen to sneeze definitely has my attention, it by no means causes me any fear whatsoever.
Why? Because we already know what to expect and how to deal with it.
Fear of the unknown no longer rules us; We have already lived through their attempted holocaust and we have emerged stronger and more united than humanity has ever been in Human History. Truly.
As a result of the first round of lockdowns, I built a tool that would scale my personal buying choices to avoid woke businesses to global proportions. I call it BreathEasy. You can think of it as a kind of “tyranny mute” button.
If you’re not familiar with it, BreathEasy is basically Yelp, but for Liberty. The app allows you to search the database for goods and services and returns the local businesses that provide them, ranked by their BreathEasy Score. Nearly every business on the planet has a BreathEasy score.
Typically, BreathEasy scores are created by users through individual votes. And, in the event you happen to vote a business down, the BreathEasy app provides you a list of nearby ALTERNATIVE businesses that offer the same good or service that have higher BreathEasy scores. No longer must you give your money to businesses for lack of choice or options. We will starve those businesses that happily collaborate with tyranny to suppress your God-given rights as a Human.
- Mask mandates? Ignored.
- Closed businesses? Ignored.
- Social Distancing? Ignored.

The Death of Naïveté
You see, the advantage that our enemies had in 2020 was the element of surprise. Nobody thought for a moment that the COVID scare could be a fear incentive to get a poisoned injection. Many of us simply didn’t have the tools or mindset to properly respond as a Free People should. We were naive. But a few years have passed now and there is no hiding the obvious; people are dying from the ‘cure.’
Our enemies have also realized something in the last couple years: their hegemony is not yet complete and the True President is out there in the tall grass stalking. And with the specter of the real president regaining power hanging over their head, they are getting desperate. They realize that in order to save their collective hides, they must introduce lockdowns yet again in an attempt to avoid a DJT Presidency, Part II, The Revenge. The Deep State are, quite literally, fighting for their own stinking, adrenochrome-addled lives, and their desperation is showing.
But Wait! There’s More!
With the rumors swirling about a second round of lockdowns and mask mandates, we should recognize this as good news!
As the title of this essay suggests, we are now seeing that our Enemy has but one plan. That’s it! Lock downs. Mask Mandates. “Another” COVID strain to try to sow fear. These guys are literally one hit wonders of tyranny. I mean, they couldn’t even come up with a new flag for their latter day brown shirts; they literally had to copy the one from their ‘good ole days.’
They only ever had one plan (the ‘pandemic’) to institute final, total and absolute control and once they injected their silver bullet and it failed? Boy howdy, watch out.
Have you ever heard the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that said,
“If you strike at a king, you must kill him”
Does that look like a king who has been neutered? Or, perhaps, does he look invigorated and resolute, now ready to rip out the entire, corrupt system by its roots?
We have reached a significant inflection point, friends, and that inflection has catapulted us into uncharted waters. But take heart! Our enemies have thrown everything they have at both us and our champion. But in the immortal words of Morpheus on the eve of the Machine’s attack on Zion,
“WE ARE STILL HERE!”
We are no longer the naïve citizenry that our Enemy first encountered in 2020. We have seen what they are capable of and are immensely stronger for it.
Enjoy the Show
