The Usefulness of Hippopotamus -...

Vincent J. Tomeo

I am staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering what to write. Where do I begin? My mind begins to wander—pleasant thoughts of Disney's Fantasia dance in my head. The dancing hippopotamus comes to mind, and this made me laugh. The result: I penned a poem on the hippopotamus from which a chapbook was born: The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times. 
One cannot imagine a world without humor. Without humor, the world will be dark, cold, and a sad place, tragically lacking joy, cheerfulness, and laughter. 
Humor is medicine. During rough times, humor will help lighten and lessen physical and mental anxiety. 
In challenging times, I chose humor. During the Pandemic, I had to deal with my bladder cancer. In my struggle not to get depressed or dwell in negativity, to find solace, contentment, and peace, I chose to seek out beauty and laugh. 
In search of happiness, the humor worked its charm, resulting in a treasure chest of joy. So, I wrote my chapbook, The Usefulness of Hippopotamus: A Humorous Chapbook for Trying Times, and discovered humor even among the hippopotami! 
You can, too. 
Peace & flowers. 
Love & light. 
Vincent J. Tomeo, Author/Poet

Woke Apostles Of The Fourth...

Joseph William Dopp

The Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich: A Comedy of Global Madness
Tagline: “When the World Economic Forum met Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels at a cocktail party…”
Welcome to the 21st century, where the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich have risen from the ashes of history to save us all from—wait for it—ourselves! But don’t be fooled; this isn’t your grandfather’s Reich. No, this is a new and improved, eco-friendly, socially conscious, gender-fluid version, and it’s brought to you by none other than our friends at the World Economic Forum (WEF).
You see, in their infinite wisdom, the WEF has concocted a strategy so diabolical, so preposterously brilliant, that it would make even the most ardent Nazi propagandist blush. The plan? To cause a global psychosis that will create a Civil War amongst all nations, races, and people groups, ensuring that no one ever unites against them. And the best part? They’re doing it all in the name of progress!
The Woke Apostles: Goebbels’ New Disciples
Imagine, if you will, Joseph Goebbels—the master of Nazi propaganda—reincarnated as a non-binary, vegan, climate activist with a degree in Gender Studies and a TikTok following of 10 million. Now, multiply that by a few thousand, give them all blue checkmarks on Twitter, and voila! You’ve got the Woke Apostles of the Fourth Reich.
These modern-day disciples have taken Goebbels’ playbook and updated it for the digital age. Their mission? To divide and conquer, using social justice as their weapon of mass destruction. They’re not just spreading lies; they’re redefining reality. Up is down, freedom is oppression, and biology is a social construct. And if you disagree? Well, then you’re just a bigot—or worse, a capitalist!
Why bother with tanks and guns when you can just weaponize anything other than the mainstream media psychosis machine and watch the world burn?
