California Burning

by Medron Pryde on June 9, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

Democrat Politicians in Minneapolis Minnesota lied a few days ago, trying to instigate the Fifth Annual George Floyd Drug Overdose Memorial Riot. The usual suspects attacked federal and local law enforcement who were ironically performing a drug raid on drug dealers. The protestors surrounded law enforcement, disrupting the drug raid, and screamed and ranted. The local police chief actually had the courage to stand up and call the lying politicians out as lying liars who lied to start a riot. And things appear to have settled down.

But Democrat politicians have another usual target of their “mostly peaceful protests” they can turn to. Los Angeles. There have been riots there before. There will be again. These have the usual anarchist suspects flying foreign flags while throwing building construction materials like cinder blocks, as well as frozen water bottles and rocks at local and federal law enforcement and passing cars. Burning cars dot the streets and highways, and building materials are flying from overpasses to land on the people below. This is all in response to the feds arresting illegal aliens rapist child molesters and other usual suspects in Los Angeles. And since those are the Democrat Party’s favorite examples of people they want to share margarita summits with, Democrat politicians have come out in favor of the “mostly peaceful protests” against these arrests. Now the mayor of Los Angeles is an old hand at “community organizing” and “mostly peaceful protests,” so I’m not surprised to see this. She’s the same woman who let Los Angeles burn a few months ago, while she was out of the country enjoying her time partying with foreign leaders and dignitaries. So I’m not surprised that she is allowing more “mostly peaceful protests” to burn down more of her city. This is the ultimate case of “you voted for this” when it comes to California.

Trump called in the National Guard to stop matters before it escalates to full scale burning of the entire city. And of course the Democrats are protesting this. I will be very interested to see if his plan works out, and whether he is able to stop the burning.

Or will the “mostly peaceful protests” “peacefully burn down” the city of Los Angeles as they have so many other cities since the Inaugural George Floyd Drug Overdose Memorial Riots?

Another Story in the Can

by Medron Pryde on June 8, 2025 at 12:01 am

I put another story in the can today. It was a major rework of an existing story. I figured it would just take a minor tweak. It was more a major revision. I once again asked Grok to analyze once done and it did good. Some rabbit holes again. It really doesn’t like my style of emphasizing certain points or character thoughts. It also really doesn’t like me writing the character looking into people’s eyes to see if they are shocked or fearful or whatever. But it does good with other stuff. It is certainly a good tool to use to check for weaknesses in a story. I like it.

MTG Final Fantasy

by Medron Pryde on June 7, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

A card game came out back when I was kid. I got into it for a while. Saw a lot of black borders and unlimited, got a good collection, jumped into the expansion back before we knew what expansions were, and then a few months later another expansion came out. I called it quits at Ice Age and walked away. Never looked back.

Until this weekend. This weekend they put out a Final Fantasy version of the game, and Final Fantasy is my jam. Especially FFVI. FFVI I grew up with. Terra’s theme has been the ring tone on every cellphone I have ever had. Terra and Celes have been my two favorite characters in gaming since I was a kid. The twin stories of finding out who you are and finding redemption for what you did have stuck with me all my life.

So I got back into the game this weekend with two goals. I wanted a Terra card and a Celes card. I bought my first case of MTG booster cards in three decades and got neither. But I got some good cards I figured I could trade for them. I walked into the launch event, got my launch deck, and found Terra in it. Put her out in almost every game. After the event, I traded Sephiroth to a friend who wanted him. He had nothing I wanted so I said to take it and we would find something later. Five minutes later he pulled Celes from a booster and smiled at me because he knew.

So I walked out with Terra and Celes and I am happy. I do not know if I am back into MTG or not, but I am there for the Final Fantasy and they did good with it.

On this day, before most of us were born, uncommon valor filled uncommon men and they rode into hell. It is my prayer that their equal be found in this generation.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Drugs

by Medron Pryde on June 5, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

If you follow the Main Stream Media, otherwise known as the Democrat News Networks, the Lame Stream Media, or just Big Media, there has been a mysterious case that has recently come to their attention.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Drugs.

It seems over the last few months, suddenly and without any ascertainable reason, the flow of drugs into America has dropped to unprecedented levels. Media sources, interviewed by their intrepid reports, are stumped. They seem to have no idea what could have happened. It’s like the flow of drugs just suddenly, one day, without warning, dried up.

They even, brace yourself fair citizens, they even asked the current crooked Presidential administration what could possibly of changed? The Presidential Press Secretary said… “Um… we closed the border.” But the intrepid reporters of the MSM are not so easily fooled by such a simple statement from the lying, no good, all bad, totally criminal current administration. We all know that no President could make such a change without first having Congress write a law to allow them to do it. The previous Sainted President of all things good and holy told us all that, after all.

So the MSM continues its dogged search to find out the true cause of the Mysterious Case of the Missing Drugs… Do you want to know more?
