i would say that bad things happening to this country is as reliable as the seasons, but with climate change doing what it do....

My mom's conservatorship hearing was this week. They appointed a Guardian ad litum, and I managed to navigate the attendant family drama smelling like roses. Calling it a win.

12 is a one and a two, when you add those together you get three, and if you add one two to three you get five.  It's not even a convoluted enough line to five to be all that meaningful.

Well ... I admit, that line of reasoning will allow me to stay with a twelve (12) program, and still claim to be a Discordian Fundamentalist. So, one of the oldest of the Erisian Mysterees really does work in mysterious ways.

Thanks!

I find the timing of this official Statement and Release to be both interesting and provocative:

Statement from President Joe Biden on the Equal Rights Amendment

I will be amazed if there is no significant pushback from the MAGAt States of 'Merica on the validity of the 28th Amendment. Still, if the opposition from the usual suspects doesn't ultimately serve to fire up and organize the Resistance 2.0, it is likely that nothing will.

6. Felony arrests and convictions of a "macho man imaged" candidate mean "street cred" to macho 'Merican men.

I may have to edit this line item a bit, in light of new information.

Trump team brags new presidential portraits "go hard"

As per this article:

"President-elect Trump sported a familiar stone-faced stare in his official portrait revealed just days before he makes his White House return.

The intrigue: The nontraditional portrait is starkly different from his first term pose, where he grins under even lighting. Instead, with the up-shot glow, a raised eyebrow and a tight-lipped mouth, it's reminiscent of another photo: his historic mug shot."

The above article does confirm that TTSS has been more than happy to publicize his "historic mug shot" to promote his "macho man image" for "street cred," and, of course, monetization. But, on the other hand, he hasn't taken the felony convictions part of our criminal justice system's right of passage very well.

Now that I've thought about it, I may have to polish up all twelve (12) of my line items, prior to the next election. And, after all, twelve (12) line items does violate the Discordian Law of Fives, as revealed by Episkopos Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, KSC. Further, it's in the realm of possibility that reducing my list to ten (10) line items just might make it more attractive to some of those politically active heathens with their own Ten (10) Commandments list. Hey, it could happen.

2. Macho 'Merican men want their womenfolk barefoot, pregnant, 'n' in the kitchen. They don't want no uppity, pantsuit wearin' women tryin' ta run no gubernment.

Here's an example of The Republicult's ™ elected officials scoring a "twofer." They're both purposely blocking the vote of a female member of the loyal opposition party, and virtue signaling the macho 'Merican men's version of the 'Merican Dream:

Pregnant Congresswoman Blasts 'Unreasonable' House Voting Rules

As per this article:

"Colorado Representative Brittany Petterson, who is unable to fly to Washington, D.C., for a vote due to her pregnancy, called the House of Representatives' unwillingness to let her vote remotely "unreasonable.""

I have no reason to believe that macho 'Merican men's attitudes are going to change prior to the 2028 presidential election.

I honestly hope they deny aid to California, because Newsom has suggested that doing so would lead to California denying the fed payment of taxes.  I'd definitely like to see California keep that money and use it to fight fires.
