How Crazy Is This Going to Get?

Three nooze stories, in the past few days, have made me question the sanity of our governing class.

Easter Sunday, the holiest day of the year for Christians: our (ahem!) “president” formally, and with great fanfare, proclaimed it “Transgender Day of Visibility.” He signed his name to it.

And now he says he didn’t do it.

What is the point of such a lie? Everybody knows it isn’t true. Easter Sunday, for Filthy Joe, was a day to celebrate “transgender,” which is in itself a lie. Generally when we lie, we hope to be believed. But there wasn’t even a sliver of hope that this lie would pass muster.

They tried to walk it back, but nobody’s dull enough to fall for that. Oops! That’s a backlash, Joe. You can’t pretend you never said it. You don’t really expect anyone to believe that, do you?

Meanwhile, Thailand national TV has launched a news program anchored by someone who isn’t real: “she” (if we can apply the pronoun to such a travesty) is a phantom generated by “Artificial Intelligence”. Soon she will be joined by a “male” phantom, and together they will present the news.

Oh, boy. Fake news reported by fake newscasters.

Is there any reason for this? Okay, you don’t have to pay people who do not exist, so you’re saving money by replacing the real people with phantoms. And look how powerful the phantom vote is, in America’s national elections! Robots can only do what they’ve been programmed to do. Maybe that’s the reason.

Will we someday have an AI-generated president? Or an AI-generated Congress? I know, I know—how much worse can it be than the way it is now? But optimism evaporates when one considers that the robots are no better than the programmers.

And then there’s Canada, where the Supreme Court of Canada finds the word “woman” to be “problematic” and says it ought to be replaced by the term “person with a vagina”.

Again we are compelled to ask: Why? Is there some doubt among the justices that women actually exist? Does it trouble them that there are men and women? In what conceivable way does society benefit from this whirlwind of idiocy? Here at home we have Kitanji Whatsername sitting on our Supreme Court and saying she doesn’t know what a woman is.

Why are these bizarre statements being made by women who’ve been appointed to high courts? True, there are male justices who are just as daft. And they’ve all been appointed by high-ranking politicians who seem to be mentally ill.

If you kicked every nut-job out of government, and out of the media, who would be left? And we haven’t even mentioned what is laughingly described as “education.” It would be too depressing, too alarming, to discuss that here.

But we’ll have to face it someday, won’t we?
