The Native Iowan

Winter on Australia’s Sunshine Coast is pretty easy to handle. Coming from the frozen plains of the Midwest the word “Winter” conjures much different mental pictures than the winters we get here…

I’ll take a Sunny Coast winter over an Iowa winter any day…

More July’s lies come in the form of those annoying, meaningless memes that abound all around the virtual social network world:

First and foremost I finds this:

CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert because it was losing $40 million a year. The Late Show – whose cancelation was announced Thursday – costs $100m a year to produce, with Colbert, 61, getting paid between $15 million and $20 million a year to host

So lets all cry for poor old SC who was a white night in dark political times… who took on the most powerful and despicable leader in the free world and lost…

NOT!

No, he diid not get “cancelled” for being ruthlessly anti Trump, trying to save democracy, nor championing the rights and freedoms of the down trodden.

His politics are not the reasons for his termination, nor are his words, that so few people chose to listen to…

The reason is simple… Folks simply were not watching, listening to SC any more. He had lost his audience, lost his pertinence and lost his sponsors.

An old saying… If IT dont pay, IT dont stay…

I know some folks (with too much time on their hands) shall conflate this into YET ANOTHER example of the pending authoritarianism we’ve been promised by the fascist and evil DJT. Its all due to that nebulous and nefarious AUTHORITARIANISM I believe so many folks are wishing for, banking on.

How else can these folks justify all their negative energy, anxiety and angst? There has to be a spook in the closet and a goblin under the bridge. There simply has to be. They cant JUST be wrong… IMPOSSIBLE!

Joy Reid falls into the same category… cancelled because she wasn’t relevant nor profitable. Period. If she had been relevant she would have attracted more viewers and thus more sponsors. But it wasn’t so.

Of course, for a long suffering black lady like Joy, it’s all about race… There are a couple good scenes where Joy simply cannot accept the facts and argues it has to be because of her sex and her race. That can be the only reason why folks dont want to listen to her. She aint sad or bad or unimportant… nope.

You are racist is the reason for Joy’s failure. You are a racist is always and all ways the reason… for some folks…

And the beat goes on…

and on…

and on…

More later

Smiles all around.
