“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the place to hear it here first. The General will be our featured guest and, let me tell you, we’re lucky to have him since all the talk shows are clamoring to hear his expertise on anything military, specifically the B-2 and the ‘Bunker Busters.’ Welcome back, General, although I don’t see your trusty chalkboard on wheels. Did you leave it out in the hall?”
“Thank you for inviting me to be on your most prestigious show. No, the chalkboard is in the shop getting updated with fancy colored lights and a PA sound system. We’re most fortunate to have a Commander-in-Chief who has the brains to use our resources to the best of everyone’s ability.”
“I’d say that kind-of sums it up. So, what else have you got for us?”
“I’m not going to state the obvious, that we humans think we have the answer to everything.”
“And we don’t? Care to cite an example where we fall short?”
“For sure: we think we can imagine outside the box.”
“Box?”
“The universe with a start, finish and an edge, or some sort of ‘boundary.’”
“It doesn’t?”
“Maybe not. What if the universe was always, never having a start; what then? Could we handle such a concept? Besides, maybe there’re different ways of what we consider a ‘start’ that we haven’t thought of. Maybe our brain has limits as to what it can accept as the possibility of what is real.”
“Okay, what’s the point?”
“The point is that maybe we shouldn’t let our imaginations rule us. For instance, the Muslims always talk about their ‘enemies’ when, in fact, no one is trying to do them any harm.”
“No one?”
“No one. There’s no Jews or Christians after the Muslims, at least in the last couple of hundred years.”
“Generations ago.”
“Correct. But they live under the impression that their ‘imagined’ enemies are out to ‘get them.’ We call it ‘paranoia under fire,’ where there’s no hope of ever accepting reality.”
“Ever?”
“Nope, gone from any possible normal existence: ‘flew the coop,’ they live in their own world, just like those who suffer from ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’; you know, the ones who believe in the COVID-19 ‘Clot Shot’ as if it were a real vaccine, the ‘Russian Collusion Hoax,’ and the January 6 ‘insurrection’ not believing that the REAL insurrection was already completed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence at 3:30 a.m. the previous morning by counting known fraudulent votes.”
“They knew they were fraudulent votes?”
“That’s right; the whole 2020 election was a Deep State ‘coup ďétat.’”
“Excuse us, please, while we pause for a short commercial break.”
“(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons” (3:10)
“And we’re back with the General who has a few more tidbits to share with us.”
“Thank you, Henry. I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again: we have some very good Special Forces operatives who train until the cows come home.”
“But that’s good, right?”
“To a point. My suggestion is to send them over to Africa and sic them on the poachers; at least they’ll get some firsthand experience. Do the world good to nail poachers, don’t you agree? Leave a card: ‘USA.’”
“For sure. Well, I see we’ve run out of time. This is Henry, along with the General, wishing all of you a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Good show. I’d say we’ve reached our limit of Christians being murdered for no reason anywhere. There’s a cheese tray for you in the break room and there’s a Chinese food carton marked “bait” that has a combination of fly larva and night crawlers garnished with finely chopped Lightning Bugs in the ‘fridge. Would you please bring them to the picnic table out back? Thank you. I’ll meet you there.”
