@cherylleslie1 @kiaraisback13 There are more people who oppose mandates and vaxx passes than you realize.

You don't have to be unvaccinated to see how damaging, unfair and dangerous these mandates are.

You just have to be smart.

I have to admit, I’m enjoying watching some of my friends suddenly discover their deep, almost sacred reverence for historic names now that Donald Trump has renamed Lake Ontario “Lake America.”

Where was this passionate defense of tradition when we spent the last decade playing cultural Mad Libs with names?

The Cleveland Indians became the Guardians.

The Washington Redskins became the Commanders.

Aunt Jemima was evicted from the breakfast table and replaced by Pearl Milling Company.

Uncle Ben got demoted to Ben’s Original.

The Native American woman disappeared from Land O’Lakes butter.

Eskimo Pie became Edy’s Pie.

The Dixie Chicks became The Chicks.

Lady Antebellum became Lady A.

Universities and real-estate professionals started replacing “master bedroom” with “primary bedroom.”

Computer programmers began retiring “master/slave” terminology.

Schools, streets, statues and buildings bearing the names of historical figures were renamed by the hundreds.

Then there were the military bases.

Fort Bragg became Fort Liberty.

Fort Hood became Fort Cavazos.

Fort Benning became Fort Moore.

Fort Polk became Fort Johnson.

Fort Lee became Fort Gregg-Adams.

Fort Gordon became Fort Eisenhower.

Fort Rucker became Fort Novosel.

Fort Pickett became Fort Barfoot.

Fort A.P. Hill became Fort Walker.

We even watched Mount McKinley become Denali.

Meanwhile, our vocabulary got its own remodeling job. “Mothers” sometimes became birthing people, “pregnant women” became pregnant people, and “breastfeeding” acquired the alternative chestfeeding in some institutional language.

And Columbus Day? Plenty of cities, states and institutions decided Indigenous Peoples’ Day was preferable.

For years the message was: Names matter. Words matter. Language evolves. Old names can be changed when society decides another name better reflects its values. If you're offended by the change, get over it.

Okay.

Apparently there was an asterisk:

This principle remains valid until Donald Trump names something.

Suddenly the people who spent a decade redecorating the dictionary have chained themselves to the furniture.

Personally, I think Lake America is mostly political theater, and pretty funny political theater at that. Canada is perfectly free to keep calling it Lake Ontario. Nobody is confiscating their maps.

But after watching everything from pancake syrup to Army installations get renamed in the name of cultural sensitivity, I simply cannot work up the appropriate level of outrage over a lake.

So to my friends who are losing sleep over Lake America, I offer the same compassionate advice conservatives received during the Great Renaming:

Language changes. Names evolve. Try to keep up. 😎

Normalize cutting politicians off mid-word-salad and saying, “Answer the fucking question.”

@CP24 Who cares about what he god damn well uttered. He stabbed someone, that's the headline. The media's obsession with policing people's thoughts is straight out of sci-fi dystopia. Was it a hate crime?. He stabbed him in the chest, I'd say so...

The most interesting concept in 1984 is newspeak.Newspeak is the official language created by the totalitarian state of Oceania.
Its purpose is to change how people speak, which in turn changes their ability to think. The easiest way to understand it is to imagine removing the word "freedom". If there is no word for freedom, it's much harder for people to express or even think about anti government ideas.
I think this is one of Orwell’s most valuable warning: that controlling language can ultimately become a way of controlling thought, and it feels like a particularly valuable warning for the future.

Imagine living in a country so free that the government constantly tells you what food to buy, what to watch, where to travel, and how to spend your money.
If you still think thats freedom, you might be brainwashed.

[Mark E. Jeftovic @jeftovic]

Speak for yourself.

What I’m sick to my back teeth of, is constantly being told by low-IQ politicians and lemming-brain hosers what I’m supposed to think, who I’m supposed to hate and what I’m allowed to buy.

STFU and unplug your refrigerator, pull the spark plugs from your car, smash your smartphone and go back to banging rocks together if you want to disassociate yourself from the largest economy in the world.

Wait… so you all thought an adult man who has face tattoos and calls himself “jelly roll” wasn’t going to be a complete moron?

@Bagnuts5 Hehe, you are a bad influence 😅

[Transylvanienne @transylvanienne]

I haven't had a cigarette in 14 years. But every once in a while, when a smoker walks by, I inhale deeply.
Luckily the craving only lasts for a few moments. Then I remember who the fuck I am.

This is Joe Gesualdi and his daughter Sydney. She was denied surgery in Ontario that she desperately needs to live a quality life! Our healthcare system has failed her and her father is now walking from London to Toronto pushing her empty wheelchair to raise awareness. He is trying to raise money so she can get the care she needs in the states. He is about 27% to his goal to get her the care she needs.
Please like and share to help this family!!

@Bagnuts5 Perhaps tobacco itself is not bad.

[Eric @ericvideos91]

I will refer to it as LAKE AMERICA

Until John A. McDonald Statues all come back -- and we completely quit doing land acknowledgments

Until then it's Lake America

Islamic "scholar" Dr. Shabir Ally says: “A Muslim man can have 4 wives and an unlimited number of female sex slaves...The four wives are also slaves, but with higher status.”

Saying these things in Canada BTW.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

I think that Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is pointless and stupid.

Wanna know what else I think is dumb?

The fact left-wingers are triggered about this after they spent the last decade plus renaming sports teams, public schools and universities, streets and highways, food and condiment brands, and redefining half the dictionary altogether.

Here’s a list of some in case you forgot:

• Washington Redskins ➡️ Commanders

• Cleveland Indians ➡️ Guardians

• Stanford Indians ➡️ Cardinals

• Loudoun County Raiders ➡️ Captains

• Edmonton Eskimos ➡️ Elks

• Columbus Day ➡️ Indigenous Peoples’ Day

• Lee–Jackson Day ➡️ eliminated

• Robert E. Lee High School ➡️ John Lewis High

• Jefferson Davis Highway ➡️ Richmond Highway

• Mount McKinley ➡️ Denali

• Fort Bragg ➡️ Fort Liberty

• Fort Hood ➡️ Fort Cavazos

• Boy Scouts of America ➡️ Scouting America

• Aunt Jemima ➡️ Pearl Milling Company

• Uncle Ben’s Rice ➡️ Ben’s Original

• Eskimo Pie ice cream bars ➡️ Edy’s Pie

• Land O’Lakes ➡️ removed the Indian, but kept the land

• Illegal alien ➡️ undocumented worker

• Hispanic ➡️ Latinx (a term Hispanics did not want and do not use)

• Mother ➡️ birthing person

• Anchor baby ➡️ child of noncitizens

• black ➡️ Black

• Breastfeeding ➡️ chest feeding

• Inmate / prisoner / convict / felon ➡️ justice-involved person

• Ex-con / ex-felon ➡️ returning citizen

• “Gender” as a biological fact interchangeable with “sex” to being a social construct

• Fat ➡️ plus-sized

• Master bedroom ➡️ primary bedroom

• Manhole ➡️ utility hole

And so on and so on. . .

It is going to take massive amounts of violence to set this world right again.
