In Which We Virtue Signal Our Way Through Another ‘Dark Winter’

It’s officially snow season around these parts, having snowed lightly most of the weekend. Is there anything as lovely as the first snow on trees still sporting their autumn finery?

When the first snow arrives before the trees have completely shed their colorful autumn apparel it can be “triggering” – forcing us to involuntarily reflect on the elements of life’s rites of passage: separation, transition, return.

When Joe Biden told us “we’re about to go into a dark winter” it was a promise, not a warning. Now that his dark winter is upon us most people just want a safe passage back to normalcy. Despite being ruled by our enlightened progressive betters for a mere 10 months the majority of the country would prefer to separate from Washington’s train wreck policies, transition to a slightly less suicidal path in hopes of returning to something a little closer to the foundational values of this once great nation. Is that asking for too much?

Yeah, probably, with these jackals running things. Meanwhile, as the jackals wrap up of the COP26 Glasgow climate meeting the Extinction Rebellion Climate activists held a final rites ceremony for its “failure and stupidity.” I couldn’t agree more, but likely for antithetical reasons. As some wag noted:

 “The world’s greatest minds are meeting in Glasgow to determine how to end 3.5 billion years of bad weather via virtue signaling.”
