Welcome to the Third Degree: Tough, Brief, Weekly Interrogations on matters public and private that force thinking and response. This Sunday, we target: Bananas

  • ‘Tis the season, why do the holidays, especially in election years, drive people bananas?
  • Is “eat my bananas anyway” the spoiled fruit syndrome of loser denial?
  • Was it rejection of tribal, racial, gender, economic, green new deal, weaponized weather, illegal alien, DEI and intersectional banana cream crap that sealed the deal?
  • Don’t they get it that citizen consumers know personal and national needs and pick the best available top bananas?
  • Meanwhile, affirming status, do the lost, the loathing, the so lacking joy and laughter (cackling doesn’t count), the so critical of others and unsure of self-crowd eat bananas like corn on the cob all hunkered down in banana country corners of their own making?
  • Reliant on lies, did cloistered weekend retreats spawn announcements like “top of game”, “mentally and physically acute” “international and domestic conditions have never been better, “not running for office” (or being run out) and pardon galore gambits before fleeing the country?
  • More black bananas coming over the next 42 days.
  • Does the rotten banana diet include the “all politicians lie” staple?
  • Why are we supposed to eat that when we can tell the difference between riff and rot?
  • Don ‘t we know when to go with it, “peel” with laughter and when to spit it out?
  • Where are the all very well-paid Carmen Miranda-like celebrities and in the tank media?
  • Was support really all about harvesting bunches, many millions of spent, donor banana billions?
  • Accounting 101 anyone?
  • Transition promises aside, who is dropping deep state banana peels to slip up the new administration?
  • Is it also ripe warning that a lot of bananas will be spoiled out of spite and malice over the next 42 days?
  • Still, ready to go a bit bananas for love of family, and certainly, love of country?
  • ‘Tis the season?
