NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
I Return to the Place I was Born
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

My sister just had a 30′ flag pole installed in her front yard and she put a US flag and a Trump 2020 flag on it. She says there is room for 1 more flag on it and asked what it should be. I sent her this one:

I bet An-tee-fa taste just like chicken if you cook ’em right.
Perfectly timed punch line and visual.
I read today that the Star Spangled Banner is racist, and one wag is suggesting Imagine, by John Lennon, as a replacement.
Lennon, who was English, which is the same England whose bombs were bursting in air when our flag was still there, died by gunfire in a crazed assassination on the streets of NYC. I was driving around with my teenage kids and it occurred to me to sing a new meme. They know a lot about cultural references, and so I began in sonorous Beatles voice: “Imagine there’s no heaven / BANG!” We all cracked up laughing.
I would suggest that our clever hunter add some additional ANTIFA attractants such as life size cardboard cutouts of several famous historical men, such as Jeff Davis, Robert E Lee, Christopher Columbus, etc, mounted on stood-up-on-end, round hay bales, perfect rural statutes you know. He should also run up the Stars and Bars on one of the poles to complete the die-o-ram-a.
Hey, MadTNTaxpayer, to add your list of “antifa”-attractants let me suggest a loudspeaker blaring “Dixie”!
To paraphrase Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz’ immortal reply when he was asked what it felt like to take human life:
“I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever killed AntiFa.”
THAT is FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY!
Yup, it’s Skorpion for the win.
Casey,that’s the best rendition of “Imagine” I’ve ever heard. Teenagers are a tough crowd,too. They’ll be telling that Dad story to their own kids.
A belated Happy Father’s Day to you,and the other Dads who visit this fine establishment.
This statement may cause me to be de-platformed,or de-wormed,whatever the hell it is “they” do to anyone not “them”,but I’ll say it anyway:
Dads’ Lives Matter
