I knew there was a reason I didn’t like the new Pride Flag

Aside from the combination of colors making me want to vomit… It kept reminding me of something, I just couldn’t place what I was being reminded of.

With the attack by Hamas on Israel, I connected the dots.

Flag of Palestine 1769629428The geometry of the new pride flag reminds me of the Hamas Palestinian flag.

It’s bad enough that if you put four of the new Pride flags together you get a swastika, or that there was someone in England who was arrested for publishing an image from someone else showing that it was true. 

I thought England had freedom of speech…

Oh RIGHT! They only have freedom of speech as long as nothing they say could ever in any way be taken offensively, by anyone in perpetuity.

In other words, our English brethren may not speak, they may only use their mouths to eat.

I’m amused and astounded when comedians have routines from decades ago reviewed and scrutinized by the new humorless thought police.

Then when offense is found, (as it always is,) the comedians must apologize for something that no-one 20 years ago thought was anything but funny.

By todays standards though, “It” is offensive enough that the scolds in our society try to cancel whoever said or did this offensive thing.

SwastikaprideflagI doubt seriously that any of these all too easily offended people were offended when half their genome was hanging in their daddy’s balls waiting to be jacked down a toilet! A lot of these humorless scolds should have been loads their momma’s swallowed. 

That’s just my opinion… It’s probably reflective of just how tired I’ve become of the perpetually aggrieved. The new pride flag is a symbol of the perpetually aggrieved, and in many ways the Hamas flag is the same.


The Palestinians have been pissed off about something or other for God only knows how long. They’re pissed at Israel over things like power, water, and productive farmland. I’m sure there are other political reasons but I honestly don’t remember and don’t care anymore. I suppose Israel maintains a secure border which hampers Palestinian terror attacks on school busses. That for sure, is going to piss off a bunch of terrorists!

I don’t want to get into discussing the war. I hope Israel wins. And since they’ve been accused and punished for all manner of atrocities… They might as well commit a few in their march to the sea.


I ran across this diagram that supposedly explained the variations of pride flags.

Pride Flags GuideRight off the bat I noticed a couple of historical omissions. They completely erased two of the three most common flags.

At one time, there were just three LGB Pride Flags.

Bear prideThere was the standard 6 color rainbow everyone is familiar with. There was the Bear Flag that came after the rainbow and there was the Leather flag.

The Bear flag was representative of men who, at the time didn’t feel that they needed to shave their chests, or adhere to the smooth muscle boy image that had become so popular and indeed almost necessary if you happened to be a gay man.

The Bear flag represented men who might not be the ideal weight, who might have and like having beards, who might be as hairy on their backs as they were on their chests and who weren’t ashamed of it. The Bear Flag, like the rainbow flag was counter culture, it was counter culture against the main stream gay culture of the time.

leatherpride.pngThe Leather pride flag was much the same. It represented the crowd within the LGB community that liked a bit more spice in their sex life. They too were underrepresented at the time. Dating was difficult, because they’d chat up a prospective bed partner only to find out that their “Date” for the night was only interested in vanilla missionary sex.

Don’t get me wrong, vanilla missionary sex is fine, but if you’re wanting a little more variety and all you have to choose from are missionaries you’re going to get bored pretty fast.

For years, (At least a decade) you’d see the rainbow flag everywhere in the “Gay Ghettos”. But some bars would fly the Bear Pride flag or the Leather Pride flag and those flags served to welcome folks who identified as one or the other community. Sometimes, it was just a matter of going into a bar that was flying what you were into, that particular night.

Some bars used the flag to advertise themed nights. So the same bar might on one night fly a Leather flag, then a few nights later a Bear flag. This was really convenient if you were driving down a crowded street because you knew at a glance what was up and where. It made fighting for parking easier.

It’s not unusual for there to be a bit of crossover between the bear and leather community too. But if you went to a bar flying only the Leather Pride flag, expect to be surrounded by men in leather who’d likely be willing to take you to Kinky Town for the weekend!

Likewise with the Bear Pride flag, be prepared to be mauled, cuddled, touched, and be welcome to return all the above to furry mellow cuddly strangers.

Why is it that some folks want to erase parts of gay culture?

How is that inclusive?

Gay Pride Flag svgCould it be that Bears, and Leather men once again don’t fit the narrative? You know, because they are CIS gendered, happy with who they are and not super worried about marching lockstep with a community that no longer represents them?

I actually see opportunity in the new flag versus the old flag.  I’m wondering if the standard 6 color flag will come to represent the LGB community once again?

It might be nice to get back to just 3 flags, and knowing that if you went to a bar flying the old flags, you’re likely to meet people who are more like you.

Maybe the folks under the old flags would be a bit more settled, a bit more conservative, and similarly uncomfortable with the direction the, LGBTQX+… whatever the fuck else they’ve added, are heading.

I’m planning on attending Leather Pride weekend in Palm Springs, (At least one day,) I’ll be avoiding the establishments with the new gay flag. My trip out there might be very short. I’m hoping that I can find at least one oasis and sit under the old rainbow flag with a drink in my hand one last time.

More optimistically, I’m hoping that I’ll be having that drink as the first of many, under the old flags with people who think and feel the way I do.

I heard the dog whistle on Friday

Friday on her show Deadline, Nicolle Wallace of MSNBC said, “shit is about to hit the fan in this country,” she apparently believes this because former President Donald Trump was inciting his “cesspool” MAGA base.

Nicolle Wallace

People like Wallace and Joy Reid, and too many others to list say things like this and completely miss the irony of their statements. 

When Wallace and these other talking heads effectively call the approximately 50% of the county a cesspool, you better believe folks are going to be offended. In that offense, and the divisiveness already existing in this country, if something were to happen. A mass shooting for example, or a building being burned down, then Wallace should be held to the same standards as Trump.

Trump supposedly gave a speech on Jan 6th that incited an insurrection. Wallace called half the country a cesspool because they happen to disagree with her position and that could incite violence too. So do we indict people like Wallace before or after something bad happens?

I don’t want Trump in office again, but I’ll be damned if I vote for Biden or Harris. If it comes to Trump versus a Democrat I’ll vote Trump!

That being said, I really detest these talking heads painting everyone who has had quite enough of Biden, Bidenomics, Harris, and the rest of what is clearly the worst administration in my lifetime including Nixon, Carter, Clinton, and Bush 1 & 2, and oh lets not forget the Obama years, as some kind of wrong headed piece of shit.

That is what she’s saying. She’s saying MAGA comes from a cesspool. It’s understood that the floaters on the surface of a cesspool are shit.

Isn’t her statement what the Democrat party likes to call a dog whistle? Is she trying to incite violence against anyone who is pissed off at Biden and his administration and what he’s done to our country in such a short time? Is she trying to silence dissent by demonizing and devaluing people who may be in favor of making America Great, regardless of their party affiliation.

Adam schiff

On the same show, Adam Schiff made the comment, “the Biden Inquiry is an evidence-free impeachment proceeding.” After my brain rebooted I thought, “Well asshole, you’d know all about evidence free impeachments!

Still waiting to hear or see that incontrovertible damning evidence of Trump’s Russian collusion! I’m not holding my breath, you lying sack of shit.

OMG! I don’t know… I’m so conflicted…

A CIA whistleblower has come forward describing payola to 6 analysts to change their findings about the origin of COVID-19. 1226905 Wallpaper2

It’s the freaking CIA, Can you say “Bay of Pigs?” How about Vietnam? Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq? How about shitty intelligence in every single war we’ve been involved in.

Can I have any faith in what the CIA says? They’re renowned for lying. 

Okay, maybe I”m being harsh. When the CIA gets it right, they leave no trace so we, the public, wouldn’t ever know what happened, or why, or how the CIA was involved.

My examples above are simply epic failures. I’d like to believe that the CIA is actually pretty efficient. Notice I said I’d like to believe

My problem is that over the past 3 years we’ve all been told so many lies! We’ve been told that even when we had it right, we were wrong, or conspiracy theorists.

To be clear… COVID-19 came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. COVID-19 was engineered, created by man, and released into the wild possibly by accident, or perhaps by design. That whole “Wet Market bat meat to pangolin to human,” evolution story was absolute bullshit. 

Those of us who called it bullshit were labeled as disinformation spreaders. We were called rabid MAGA racists. We were deemed dangers to society. We lost our twitter accounts, we lost our Facebook accounts, we were de platformed, our income streams were damaged… But we were FUCKING RIGHT! 

We’re all too intelligent to hold our breath for any kind of apology.

It begs the question, where are my reparations for the PTSD our lying government and media gave me?

LighteningWhen the hell is Anthony Fauci going to be dragged out of his home at 5AM by 25 FBI agents brandishing M-16s?

We know that will never happen!

St Fauci of the mask will never see justice for what he did to the American People.

Either on the front end, when he was financing illegal research into gain of function, OR when he lied for years about the source of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks, the efficacy of the vaccine, and lied to congress under oath when asked about his involvement in the destruction of colleagues careers who had dissenting opinions about how to address the COVID-19 crisis. Or indeed his direct involvement in the creation of COVID-19.

I know there will be no justice. One can only hope that Fauci is struck by lightening on a golf course.

Of course, the Russians might be pissed enough about Fauci having a hand in the creation of COVID-19, and the damage done to their economy to give him a polonium enema. In which case, I’d call it justice done!

Yes I know, they don’t give it as an enema. Polonium can be injected, put in a drink, or a small pellet can find its way into the victim. The Russians have used this method of poisoning quite effectively. It’s not quick, it’s brutal suffering until the victim is begging or praying for death. There’s no cure.

In Fauci’s case someone like me could torment him with a potential cure but remind him that double blind placebo trials had to be executed before the experimental cure could be given to him. I say like me, because I’m evil, and that little gnome deserves punishment. 

I look forward to what happens with this next if anything. I’m sure this news, like all the news that paints the COVID response as anything but reasonable, will be buried as quickly as possible. 

Maybe the D.C. machine will indict Trump for jaywalking as a distraction.
