For four and a half years, I have abstained from consuming news. I don’t read the newspaper, I don’t watch news on TV, and I don’t visit news websites. For four and a half years, I really have not followed, or been involved with, electoral politics. Starting with the progressive left’s decision in late spring 2020 to obliterate from the earth everything that makes life worth living, and culminating with the election of November 2020, essentially everything in the world of news and politics has been100% negative. The content of the news has been so painful, so demoralizing, so depressing, so almost entirely bad, that I have not been able to engage with it, to be involved with it, or to even consume content about it. Doing so was simply too painful.
But now this has changed.
For the last two weeks, something very strange has been happening. Things are happening in the news that are cool! Things are happening in the news that are positive, that are good, that are awesome! The content of the news makes me happy, and brings a smile to my face!
This is a revolutionary concept indeed. It is something that for four and a half years, I did not experience. At all. Ever. It’s been such a long time that I’ve forgotten what it was like.
For four and a half years, this blog has been dedicated almost solely to expressing my rage and grief about, and attempting to process, the unspeakable atrocities inflicted by the devotees of “woke” ideology. But I remember now that I used to blog about things going on in the world of news and politics, both positive and negative. It used to be a regular occurrence that I would share, on my blog, things in the news that made me smile.
Once more, as I did in the distant past, I have been feeling the urge to blog about the cool things in the news that I’ve been coming across. I am feeling, just a little bit, like the blogger that I used to be, before society decided to completely destroy everything that makes my life worth living. I had forgotten what it was like to be that blogger. I thought it would never happen again.
Throughout these hellish four and a half years, I did keep one source of news open. I continued to follow right-wing politicians, activists, and organizations on social media (specifically Instagram, because I decided to cease using Twitter as well, finding it too triggering and overstimulating). Finding out about major news developments through an ideological lens that for the most part I agree with, was the only way that I could find out about such developments without it being overwhelmingly painful. For now, those right-wing social media accounts continue to be my only source of news. It is through them that I have found out about the incoming Trump administration and the amazing cabinet picks.
So without further ado, here are some of the social media posts that have brought a smile to my face regarding Trump, his incoming administration, and his awesome cabinet picks:
