Zenhitler on parade

Apr 20, 2026

Andy Rooney, bless his soul, never ran out of things to talk about, because he stuck with things that annoy him. Today, it’s the birthday of Adolph Hitler, and some people still celebrate it. Some others transfer that negative energy to people they themselves hate. Millions of unlucky people share this birthday, and to them I offer a hearty “happy birthday!” free of encumbrance.

What annoys me is how the Georgia Department of ~~Transportation~~ Torture uses weekends to perform lane-closing construction on roads that might take people to places they’d like to go on a nice Saturday or Sunday afternoon. But I’m too happy to be annoyed by that. A group of teenagers at my son’s high school practiced their tails off for months, including him. After winning the Scholastic Class A state championship in Georgia for five years straight (they’ve only had indoor percussion for five years), they headed to WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio, the flagship event for all indoor percussion teams, for the first time. Like a movie script: they came out of nowhere, dominated, and won. Not only won, but won with (I hear) the second highest score ever recorded.

Nothing can get me down after that high.

What annoys me is how many people throw the Hitler thing around so casually, then others deny that the Nazis indeed did engineer the systematic liquidation of six million people for only the reason that they happened to be Jews, or even have Jewish lineage. For decades, the wealth of these Jews, paintings, money, gold, was stashed in places like Swiss banks, and had to be sleuthed out and exposed. People are making money online as influencers and podcasters, doing it off Zenhitler, either making their favorite targets into Adolph, or excusing the man himself and his cohorts of the crimes against humanity they did commit.

Worst are the ones who accuse Israel of genocide. It’s sad that the IDF had to destroy so much infrastructure in Gaza City and other places in Gaza. It should not have been necessary, but you must understand that Hamas stole billions of dollars in foreign aid, direct payments from Qatar and other friendly nations, and money it earned in the markets, and used it solely for the construction of tunnels under every city and village in Gaza. There are so many tunnels that the IDF has still not destroyed them all after three years of war. Innocent Israelis were held in these tunnels, in intolerable conditions, starved, tortured, both physically and mentally, for nearly two years. The tunnels stored arms, rockets, and command-and-control equipment. The tunnels still exist, ready to be put into operation the second the IDF leaves.

If Israel’s goal was genocide, they could easily have accomplished it. Firebombs kill more people, more efficiently than bulldozers or bunker-busting GPS-guided bombs. If the IDF was as indiscriminate as those who throw Zenhitler around say, they could have killed not 70,000, but 700,000 Gazans very easily. But they didn’t, haven’t, and won’t do it.

The Islamic Republic of Iran didn’t even blink to murder over 30,000 of its own citizens in order to preserve its own power. The IRGC is still in control of the country, and our president, on whose image many make a living online and as influencers and podcasters, throwing around Zenhitler accusations, is trying his hardest to make a deal with them. President Trump and his administration’s negotiators have so many holes in their backs from Iran’s constant betrayals that it’s a wonder they can drink a glass of water without it leaking out.

If there’s any Zenhitler to be thrown around, it should be thrown at Tehran. But we will probably end up with a deal of some kind, because the alternative for both sides will kill many soldiers. The United States population lacks the will to finish the job properly, so Iran will go back to developing a nuclear weapon in secret, and Israel will go back to stopping them by any means possible.

I believe this is the reason we haven’t seen more “pager” style operations happen inside Iran. Israel killed the top three or four echelons of IRGC and supreme leadership, and they’re content to let the new masters consolidate control and keep their powder dry for the next time. Exposing more of the Mossad’s assets in Iran is not on Israel’s agenda, because it will not accomplish regime change at this time. Not while the media’s Zenhitler is negotiating with the actual Zenhitlers in Tehran over shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz.

I’m annoyed that so many goods are about to get very expensive. Either we pay in cash, or we pay in blood. It’s not the best choice, but this is where our government has landed this country, for now.

I’m annoyed we can’t elect more wise or sane people to office. I’m annoyed we can’t stop watching and listening to grifters from all sides who profit of Zenhitlerism.

But there’s a core of people who are also annoyed, of that I am sure. One day, these people will have their say and topple the Zenhitler cottage industry. I’m hoping and praying for that day to come soon.
