Uh-Oh – I Made An Unfunny Funny

The New American Digest Posted on January 23, 2026 by DTJanuary 23, 2026

on another site ... and I got cancelled. :)

A site maybe even less lefty than this one too.

All the squawk about this coming storm back east.

So I commented: "Y'all were bitching about Global Warming. Now you're bitching because it got solved."
And got banned.

Oh ... me bad ...

Before You…

The New American Digest Posted on January 23, 2026 by JeanJanuary 22, 2026

published by Jean, Aug 4, 2006

There's something else
I'm meant to do
before I spend
my time with you.

Complete myself
with no regret
for missing what
I don't have yet.

It's up to me,
reassembled,
edges smoothed
and chains untangled.

It isn't selfish
that I'm being.
The purge, the clean
allows my breathing.

So, let me be
for just a while.
Live your life
and let me smile.

The day will come,
not far away,
I'll offer free
my heart away.

Wednesday

The New American Digest Posted on January 21, 2026 by DTJanuary 22, 2026

And Don Lemon's still running around free.

Do you think you'd still be free if you did what he did last Sunday?
Do you have that sneaky feeling you wouldn't have been free by Monday night if you did what he did last Sunday?
And probably arraigned by now? With large - if any - bail?

Oh, that poor misunderstood gay black man that everyone picks on.
Suffering from all the white privilege he's surrounded by.
Doesn't your heart just break thinking of how much he's been put upon?

No one's above the law - so they say - but it sure seems a bunch of people are outside it.

Update: Hm-m-m ... maybe. He's not big potatoes but he does have name recognition.

The Trump Justice Department charged Don Lemon and 7 others for storming Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
However, the magistrate judge rejected the charges against Don Lemon.

A Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign a complaint charging independent journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a church in St. Paul on Sunday, multiple sources familiar with the proceedings told CBS News. Lemon admitted he was embedded with BLM activist Nekima Armstrong and the group of rabid protestors.

Interesting:
The magistrate in Minnesota who refused to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon is Douglas L. Micko and that his wife works as an Assistant Attorney General in Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s office.

We ARE At War

The New American Digest Posted on January 21, 2026 by DTJanuary 21, 2026

with China.

But China isn't attacking us directly - so smiley face, so accommodating of trade.

But it is going after our major allies: Great Britain, Australia, now Canada.
Politicians are so easy to buy ... isn't that right, Swalwell?

And everybody's so freaky right now about Israel - good distraction.

Gerard's Last Post
(posthumous): Feb 4, 2023
"So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road"

When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings

The Feral Irishman

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it


Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.


From Gerard's site. The picture always caught my eye.
