You do...or do not...simple

 I was not born Jewish, there is actually no known Gene, for that. I was born into a family of humans who identified with the Jewish Religion, and as such were also identified as Jews, by the community in which we lived. One could assume I was a Caucasian due to the color of my skin. One could assume I was a male due to my shorter hair, Adam’s apple and the clothes I wore. To assume of course is a prerogative, not always correct, not always factual, but filled with opinion, based on one’s personal point of view. 

I was raised Jewish, no not a religious or pious Jew, but more of a Cultural Jew, whose family included self-proclaimed Orthodox, Conservative and Reformed Jews, with my nuclear family participating in Jewish Holidays and Traditions and Ceremonies, all interpreted by my very superstitious Romanian Jewish Grandmother and her very superstitious Romanian Jewish sisters.  I lived in a predominately Jewish neighborhood, and attended a predominately Jewish elementary school. My father was a Policeman, not truly considered, back in the day, a profession for a nice Jewish Man, and via his job, my family met and interacted with a majority of non-Jewish families. We would attend Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) conventions, and way too often the families from anywhere but Pittsburgh, would too often say hurtful things about the “Yids”. I had no idea what they meant by “Yids,” but knew it was said in a very snarky tone. My little sister and I however were great at track and field, and often the FOP would have relay races. My little sister and I participated, and nine out of ten times, each time won our races. We received our trophies and too often, we both heard the losers, and their families say, “I thought Jews were not athletes.”

 

I went to college and in my Freshman met a few people, who had no idea I was Jewish, and as we went to purchase our books at the college bookstore, informed me that I might be “Jewed Down,” by the manager of the store. Having no idea what that term meant, and certainly never heard that term before, I looked shocked and asked what they meant. The first response was Jews will rob you blind. I then said I was Jewish. They replied, you don’t look Jewish and added but I am sure you are not that kind of Jew. I told them to fuck off. I was shocked, and I guess realized at that moment, that all I had taken for granted about who I was and raised to be, could no longer be assumed as safe.

 

I write this piece, not as a unique set of circumstances, but as circumstances that affected my life. As my life continued, I experienced even more harsh, cruel, and intentionally harmful fear, hate, and loathing. When I finally was brave enough to come out of my own established closet and found my courage to actually say, out loud, I am Gay, as in I was born this way, not raised this way, once again I heard people say, I didn’t know Gay men could have kids, or Gay men played sports, or you don’t Gay. I am who I am either by choice, being Jewish, or by genetics, being Gay. And I will not never deny either. If you like me, like me for my actions, my morals my values. If not and you insist I am the monster because I am Jewish, you are an antisemite, if not and you insist I am the monster because I am Gay, you are a Homophobe. It is not a debate, in this case, it is very black or white. You either hate, or you do not!

Kelly Jonhson

 Speaker Mike Johnson’s Wife Removes Website Equating Homosexuality to Bestiality and Incest

Following scrutiny, Kelly Johnson, wife of newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson, has taken down her Christian counseling website that contained documents comparing homosexuality to bestiality and incest. (ADVOCATE)

 

Fuck off Kelly Johnson, fuck off Mike Johnson, fuck off every single Republican within the House who voted in favor of making this HOMOPHOBE, not on SPEAKER, but now the Second in Line for the Presidency.

 

Bestiality, really Kelly Johnson, based on exactly what? Is it based on the same Christians who swear that a zygote is a life, but once that zygote is out of the womb, using an assault weapon to murder that zygote is A-OKAY! Bestiality, really Kelly Johnson is it based on the same Christians, who insist that a zygote is a life, but once that life is out of the womb, tuff fucking luck if it is born into poverty, thus having little access to health care, shelter and food?

 

Incest, really Kelly Johnson as in the number of girls and women who are raped by their Heterosexual Fathers, Grandfathers, Brothers, Uncles, or Cousins? Incest, really Kelly Johnson as in the innocent females who no matter what age must carry the zygote of their close relative to term, only to discover that via a Heterosexual rape, that child has a possibility of a whole lot of unhealthy heterosexual gunk in his or system, which can lead to a very sick physical or mental health future.

 

Bestiality, Kelly Johnson, exactly when was the first or last time, you actually met a person who mated with an animal or a mammal? Incest, Kelly Johnson, as in the myriad of females who must raise their children in an environment of sad sickness and loathing.

 

OH KELLY JOHNSON, what the fuck. Just fuck off, and take your husband with you!

 

"women and children"

 The hypocrisy of the hue and cry, “Women and Children,” as if those who scream loudest actually give a fuck about all of the women and children. 

How about the women who are raped, either by members of their own family, or strangers. How about their welfare, having to carry the zygote of their brother, their father, their uncle or some male who that woman had no idea of his genetics or history. Is that WOMAN of no consequence, is that woman’s life of no consequence?

 

How about the child who knows that his or her gender is not the product of his or her physical appearance? How about the child who was born as a homosexual, who must express his or her destiny?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

“Women and Children,” as if just muttering that phrase somehow makes the speaker seem like a caring or comforting person. 

 

How about the women, who are still considered chattel by so many so-called religious or pious zealots. How about the equal rights of women to live, thrive, and survive each moment and every day? How about the children who go to school hungry, who become an unwanted burden by people who never wanted to give birth to them in the first place? How about the homelessness of those women and children, the poverty of those women and children, and the lack of food or health care for those women and children?

 

It is TOO EASY, to shout out, “What about the women and children,” when war has become the norm, but it remains TOO IGNORED when the everyday attempt to exist is overlooked for WOMEN AND CHILDREN!

 

 

 

Mikey aborted

 Likelihood of Pence testifying against Trump is ‘high to almost a certainty’ after dropping 2024 bid (MSNBC) 

Mother Pence’s husband, Mikey, has been vehemently against abortion. He has preached and pontificated using his born-again, evangelical Christian beliefs, that one must permit the life of a zygote to live, making that fetus more important than the life of the mother. Carry on with your pregnancy women, even if you are a victim of rape by a stranger or rape by a family member. Struggle through it says Mother Pence’s hubby, don’t be a selfish person, let God lead your way.

 

I find it quite amusing that as much as Mikey is against aborting anything, he has somehow come to discover that aborting his campaign to become president, is a decision he must agree to. It must be draining for Mikey, not gaining in popularity, having the MAGA base consider him a joke, and having the normal folk of America find him nothing but a coward. Pretending that even though his BOSS, tried to commit treason, inciting a coup and insurrection, were somehow no good reasons to tell any truths, Mikey feigned Patriotism and his conceived born Christian values.

 

So, now, once again, Mikey is in a complicated position. Complicated not by what is the correct thing to do, but complicated because the one constant and true virtue, Mother Pence’s husband owns is his COWARDECE,

 

Mikey, to keep something painful, to continue carrying something hoist upon you without your own free will, is horrible, but since your version of religion states that all of that is too bad, so stop complaining, you once again took the cowardly way out and ABORTED. 

Citing Privacy

 House Speaker Mike Johnson Responds to New Round of Scrutiny About Black Son

The Louisiana representative cited privacy as to why there are no pictures of his “adopted” child in public family photos. (Vanity Fair)

 

So Mike Johnson has a black son, which is cool and good for him. But here is the thingie regarding the MAGA Republicans, almost all of them to be exact…the thingie is that they love to huff and puff about the Trans kids or LGBQ kids of families, going so far as to try and stop any Parent to PRIVATELY provide any health and welfare actions for THEIR own kids…seems if the child is Gay or Trans, the MAGA Republicans demand that THEY invade the rights and liberties of others. BUT, whenever we discover some kind of issue with the children of MAGA Republicans, suddenly they all CITE PRIVACY, as in “How dare you involve yourselves with MY family.”

 

The MAGA Republicans love to involve themselves with the young girls who have been raped, insisting that the families of those girls deserve no privacy or rights in how to respond to such a heinous and horrific assault. Mike Johnson like the rest of the MAGA Republicans, has voiced his opinion that privacy does not matter, because somehow the poor victim would be a sinner if she and her family chose to abort this unwanted, and forced pregnancy, and if it comes to sinners, only people like this Christian Fascist are the responsible party to set the course ahead.

 

Once again, as has almost always been the case regarding the MAGA Republicans, HYPOCRICY reigns supreme as their guiding principle. 

MAGA of Amerika

 Let’s get real America, just because the MAGA mostly coalesces around some kind of American Xenophobic Christian Nationalistic, God Bless America God (their perception of a Christian God), does not make them any different than the two major Islamic Terrorist groups and Hezbollah-who also pretend that their cause du jour is to protect their Muslim God, (again their perception). Theocratic Governments, no matter which religion they pronounce as the ONLY TRUE RELIGION, are in fact, as I see it, understand it, basically established as oppressive anti-democracy authoritarian governments, set in place to not actually observe and respect their Gods, but for them, to become Gods.

Like Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, MAGA of America has no tolerance for individual rights, no concern about individual liberties, and no desire for any rule of law, unless it is THEIR VERSION of the law.

 

Hamas and Hezbollah intimidate, bully, use violence and threats and if we look closely at the MAGA in America, their process for governing follows the same rules as the Terrorist groups within the Arab world.

 

If we are calling out the horrendous and heinous activities of Hamas and Hezbollah we must IMMEDIATELY do the same regarding MAGA of America.

 

 

Praise the Lord...and Pass the Ammunition

 Mike Johnson Said Same-Sex Marriage Would Lead to People Marrying Their Pets, Wanted to Sentence Abortion Doctors to “Hard Labor”

He also supported criminalizing gay sex between consenting adults. Johnson: I believe that scripture and the bible is very clear that god is the one that raised up each of you and god has allowed us to be brought here to this specific moment and time. 

 

Johnson is proudly antiabortion. When Roe v. Wade was overturned last year, he called it “a great, joyous occasion,” later writing, “We will get the number of abortions [in Louisiana] to ZERO!!” In 2015, he blamed school shootings on abortion, telling writer Irin Carmon, “When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.” (Vanity Fair)

 

After mass shooting, new speaker calls for prayer that ‘senseless violence can stop’

Mike Johnson has opposed gun control measures for years, and opined about the role of faith in response to violence. (Roll Call)

 

Mike Johnson believes America has lost its Christian ways when it comes to Women’s Reproductive Freedoms and of course the Freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community. He has been active in doing his best, or if you prefer, his Christian God-like, best, to save the souls of the rest of us, by calling out, scapegoating, and harassing Women and the LGBTQ+ community. Apparently having no idea regarding the divide between Church and State, or MAYBE giving “NO FUCKS,” about the Constitutional divide between Church and State, Mike Johnson has made it clear who is an American and who is NOT.

 

However, as is the GOLDEN RULE, for American Christian Nationalists, life and the sanctity of life is not the issue when it comes to Guns, especially the guns originally created as mass weapons of war, as in Assault Weapons.  Babies, School Age, Adolescents, Teens, Young Adults, Adults, Grandma’s and Grandpa’s lives are less important to people like Mike Johnson, who feels NO OBLIGATION to pass any laws to save those lives. No, for Mike Johnson it is just PRAYER, PRAYING, and as I see it, being PAID by the GUN CARTEL, that is the answer to gun madness.

 

Mike Johnson will pass laws, as he states to save families, regarding abortion, but saving those same lives with any sensible gun law seems to be up to his God, and his God only via, PRAYERS!

One more PERK

 The $949 Galleri liquid biopsy can screen for more than 50 types of cancers. It works by looking for a shared cancer signal in DNA shed by tumors in the bloodstream. More than 130,000 of the prescription-only tests have been sold since Galleri became available in June 2021, according to the test maker Grail, a unit of the gene-sequencing company Illumina. 

The Galleri test is one of many products tapping into affluent and health-obsessed consumers’ appetite for data on their personal health. (Wall Street Journal)

 

Please re-read the sentence that says, “The Galleri test is one of many products tapping into affluent and health-obsessed consumers’ appetite for data on their personal health.” Uh-Huh, like oh so many Perks of the Privileged from paying either zero taxes to hardly paying your fair share of taxes to the hypocrisy of wealthy criminals, white collar criminals, not having to prove a burden of guilt (Trump is an example of this), to actually having no safeguards placed upon you to buy and purchase your Politician, to issues of Medical Miracles, which bought and paid for, can make a difference in your longevity and healthy life… We have one more example of the GREAT DIVIDE, between those who can PAY a LOT, to live a LIFE, and those who are just living day to day.

 

There is a GREAT DIVIDE in this world, in this Nation of ours, in Politics, in Facing Education, and most awfully, in Medical Advances.                 

 

When will equality become real? Seriously when will lives matter no matter how wealthy or not wealthy we are?

Ground Hog day...again

 Ground Hog Day, once again. This time Ground Hog Day going way back to the election of Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker. No, not the million votes were taken to finally give “Kevie,” the gavel, but actually to clone “Kevie,” as in being a Prime Puppet for Trump and in turn Putin. Gym Jordan is the evil we see when the lights are on, Mike Johnson has been the worst kind of evil, the monster that only creeps in the shadows. The Republican Party, this time every single one of the GOP Representatives, decided that a 2020 Election denier and author of how to corrupt the Electoral College should be their chosen leader, and of course should be the 2^nd in line to the Presidency.-------- “Johnson objected to certification of the 2020 election results and played a key role in getting signatures for an amicus brief in the long-shot Texas lawsuit that sought to overturn election results in several states.” (Bloomberg)

 

The new speaker of the House is not only an election denier with a record of supporting anti-LGBTQ legislation, but he’s also deeply opposed to abortion rights. 

New GOP House Speaker Once Lamented That Abortions Cut ‘Able-Bodied Workers’ From Economy. “Roe v. Wade gave constitutional cover to the elective killing of unborn children in America. Period,” he said during an undated clip from a House Judiciary Committee Hearing. “You think about the implications of that on the economy. We’re all struggling here to cover the bases of Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid and all the rest. If we had all those able-bodied workers in the economy, we wouldn’t be going upside down and toppling over like this.” (Huff Post)

 

U.S. Rep Mike Johnson of Louisiana has introduced a bill that critics are calling a federal “don’t say gay” bill that prohibits federal funding for any “sexually-oriented” event or material for children under the age of 10. The bill, dubbed the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act of 2022” was co-sponsored by 32 other Republicans, including Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana. While the bill draws inspiration from state legislation in Florida that prohibits discussion of sexual orientation in the classroom, Johnson’s bill would have the effect of prohibiting discussion of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender dysphoria, or related subjects at any federally funded institution. (WWNO-Public Radio)

 

We have a Trump Puppet, a Trump Supporter of Election Denial, a Misogynist, a Homophobe, and a Transphobe as the Speaker of the House. We were limited to how we governed our Nation for 3 weeks, only to discover that the person elected as the new Speaker, is just a bit younger and perhaps even more of an anti-democracy crusader than Kevin McCarthy, but in fact is the same old sad sack hateful, hypocritical, anti-American fellow. Ground Hog Day!

 

 

 

 

I am curious

 I am a bit curious. Now that many more nations have found out about the truth regarding the bombing of the hospital in Gaza, that in fact, it was a misguided missile originating via Hamas, the uproar and indignations from the Arab Nations, have suddenly vanished. Somehow, it seems to me, that if innocent Arab lives are lost, and the Arab nations can no longer blame Israel (The Jewish State), for those deaths, then wham bam, right now, those lives are no longer a big deal. When Arabs wage war against Arabs, there is silence, and no call to action by the rest of the world to stop that bloodshed.  It is as if the Arab atrocities toward Arabs are non-existence and not important.  

How easy it seems to insist that Israel is the boogey man. They respond to the rape, and murder of their citizens, initiated by Hamas, and the moment they respond all we seem to hear is, Anti-Semitic response flowing as quickly as lava from an erupting volcano. To be attacked by Hamas, not a word from the Arab nations, to begin to fight back, suddenly the victim becomes the bully.

 

I do not live in Israel. My family or friends had not been butchered in their beds, my family or friends had not been raped, my family or friends had not seen their babies either slaughtered or kidnapped, my family and friends had not been taken as hostages…I can pontificate as loud as I want because the immediacy of my life has not been breached. BUT as a Jewish person, I watch as double standards fall from the skies as might a sudden hail storm, damaging and destroying my future.

 

I am a bit curious. Does the evidence of Hamas tunnels under Gaza, Gaza setting up war spaces in schools, apartment buildings, and Mosques, make them the Good Guys for the Palestinians? Does the use of Palestinians as human shields, make Hamas good Muslims? If a Terrorist group acts in a most heinous and inhuman manner, why are they suddenly the victim, when Israel fights back? I am curious, Hey Arab Nations, how about calling out the crimes of Hamas, how about demanding they FIRST return all of the Hostages, without any Caveats, before you and the rest of the Anti-Sematic nations of the world, BLAME ISRAEL!

Both Sides, now?

 I still, MUST beg the question of the myriad of Arab Nations who say that they defend the lives of the Palestinians in Gaza insisting that Israel NOT advance into that area, because of the horrific loss of life that most likely will ensue. Why is it that there is NOT the same hue and cry about innocent  Israeli lives lost, and taken hostage by Hamas war against Israel? Are murdered babies, raped women, and kidnapped people who are Jewish or Israeli less important? 

If these Arab nations truly want to have war in Gaza and find some solution, then why not grow loud and public with your condemnation of Hamas, and why not shout out loud that any support toward Hamas comes only by Hamas releasing all of their hostages, and insisting that Hamas stop raping and murdering innocents?

 

And if Egypt is not willing to aid the millions are innocent Gazans, why haven’t the same Arab nations who harangue, criticize, harass, and blame Israel for the situation in the Middle East, offer to fly the Gaza refugees to their countries?

 

I am saddened by what will become a huge humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but I am mystified, as to how easy it seems for many Arab countries to just blame Israel, all the while making no effort to ACTUALLY assist the people of Gaza?

Approach-avoidence

 House chaos forces Senate to take the wheel on spending. (The Hill) Kevin McCarthy's excuse for the GOP speaker fiasco must be seen to be believed. The issue here isn’t that the minority party didn’t come rescue the majority; the issue is the majority party’s fundamental inability and unwillingness to govern. (MSNBC) Chesebro, who was charged alongside Donald Trump and more than a dozen other codefendants with attempting to delay the transfer of power after the 2020 election, was scheduled to stand trial this week. He accepted the offer as jury selection was underway on Friday. (NBC News)

These are just three current examples, as I see it, as to why the way the USA handles it governing and governance MUST change. 

 

Somehow,  no matter how inexperienced, how inept, how much treason or anti-democracy rhetoric or actions a chosen Representative may be, he or she can wham bam thank you ma’am be nominated to become Speaker, and immediately become the second in line to ascend to the Presidency. Somehow, every year Congress plays a political game of Russian Roulette with our lives, as they create their own self-inflicted Budget Crisis. Preferring to promote their own personal gains, over actually considering the citizens of this nation, the House plays brinkmanship, at the ready, just to get their 15 minutes of fame, insisting that this time come hell or high water ‘WE WILL SPITE EVERYONE AND CLOSE DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.” And with all the knowledge we had and now have more of, NOTHING has been done to change the fiasco of the Electoral College, its mechanism, its madness, and its mayhem.

 

Then add to that, how in the world, should it be “a thing,” that a person elected President without winning the majority of votes, is permitted to nominate anyone to the Supreme Court. If he or she is not representing the majority of voters, how in the world can he or she have the power to select any candidate to the Supreme Court for their entire lifetime! And how the fuck is it still a thing that Justices, not elected by the population, but SELECTED by a political party serve a lifetime at all. And how is it that anyone elected to any position of governing, is not required to take a test of competency, including, questions about understanding the Constitution, questions about both American History and World History? What about questions regarding Civics? Require all candidates once elected to pass the same test given to new Citizens of the United States.

 

For me it is just like the approach-avoidance attitude we are taking regarding the Climate Disaster we are facing…we talk, talk, talk about it, and in turn, we just talk, talk, talk about it, and nothing else!

Isn't amazing how...

 Isn’t amazing how unified the Arab states become when they either wish to militarily attack Israel, or publicly condemn Israel, but when it comes to food, medical, and energy supplies for the Palestinians, somehow the Arab states prefer to GHOST the Palestinians.

Is it the lack of resources? I mean the Saudi Arabian Monarchs might have no more money after purchasing Soccer teams Golf Associations and paying Jared Kushner 2 billion dollars. I mean the people in Gaza need oil, but I suppose the Clergy in Iran might think that they can make more money selling their oil to Russia and China, and then provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians. And all Assad from Syria seems to find as a priority is to fund the weapons to the Terrorists, most likely just trying to keep his Dictatorship safe.

 

There is a Humanitarian crisis in the Middle East, not just because Israel is now on the offense, but as I see it, because it seems a whole lot easier for the Arab Nations in the Middle East to find the resources, and finances to wage war, then to provide relief via food, fuel, health and help.

NOT TWO SIDES

 There are NOT two sides to a story, when one side continues to play by its own rules, negating the entire concept of discussion or communication.

No, the House of Representatives is NOT completely dysfunctional, when in fact it is the Republicans in the House who remain defiantly difficult and dysfunctional. The House has one PARTY that relies on chaos and mayhem, threats and mobster rule, and incompetence, and they are the people and the PARTY making DYSFUNCTION a Daily Occurrence. SO, please Media stop enabling the Republican's DYSFUNCTION, by somehow insisting that the Dems should do something. 

 

And where are the Arab leader's protests regarding the intended Rape, Murder, Kidnapping, and Terrorism perpetrated by Hamas, against the innocents in Israel? SILENCE when that act of war was initiated. No condemnation from most to many Arab leaders. The Hospital bombing in GAZA is tragic horrendous and almost unimaginable, but even as the facts and truth come about that this attack was not Israeli imitated, Arab leaders still remain silent in at least recognizing that it was Hamas. So, once again we are to think that there are two sides to a story, when in fact one side receives the blame while the other side receives the pity.

 

And this entire war against the LGBTQ community does not have two sides. One side wants to eliminate freedoms, choice, language, and ultimately the existence of anyone Gay, Lesbian or Trans, and the other side, is those who are Gay. Lesbian. Trans and the people who love them only want to live the life they were born into. How the Hell are there two sides to this story, when one side demands total extinction, and the other side wants to live. 

 

 

The art of GYMMIE

 THE ART OF SELFISHNESS…THE ART OF SELF-SERVING…THE ART OF DELAY…THE ART OF BEING JIM (GYM) JORDAN. 

Trump Ally Jordan Loses Third Speaker Vote With Support Fading. “We are in a very bad place right now,” McCarthy, a Jordan ally, added. The House is paralyzed because of the leadership vacuum, unable to act on President Joe Biden’s $106 billion request for emergency aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and border enforcement or on funding to avoid an impending mid-November government shutdown. “He knows, you all know, that he’s not going to get the votes for sure,” Republican Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, a Jordan opponent, said on his way into the vote Friday. “The question is, how long does he want to prolong this? For what? To what end?”(Bloomberg)

 

I will answer the responses, first from the “LACKEY,” formerly known as Kevin McCarthy. He ‘Kevie’, you and you alone placed us or you or you and your Party in a bad place, by kissing the dirty anal areas of Insurrectionists/Coup Plotters/Felony lovers, and then to top off your eternal CREEPINESS, you ‘Kevie,’ bit the hands that fed you by dissing the Democrats who tried to save your own anal area.

 

A Government shut down is looming and is looming because all of the promises made by you ‘Kevie’ were immediately destroyed by the MAGA slime in the likes of GYM Jordan, who had an has only one priority in his life, and that is to please HIS PUPPET MASTER, ‘the Felon in Chief’, TRUMP. You ‘Kevie,’ know about how that works, as in NOT WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE, but working, instead for the PERSON, who gives no shits for the PEOPLE. And the best question, asked by one of your Republicans, is how long does he want to prolong this? For what? To what end?” To that I respond, I believe TRUMP somehow thinks your Party’s intentional chaos and planned mayhem will somehow hurt Joe Biden and the Dems. Once again, let me add that GYM Jordan has no concerns for the American people, and seemingly has more interest in appeasing TRUMP, who has a ton of interest in appeasing Putin.

 

And GYMMMIE Jordan, you are like a poison ivy rash, once you scratch it, it spreads, and as it spreads it makes life miserable, and miserable for the person who has the rash. We the people now have the GYMMIE Jordan rash.

 

as a PROP

 As an American who among other attributes happens to be Jewish, I am sick and tired of Jews being used as a Political Prop and Israel being used as a Political  Prop both domestically and internationally. When Politicians in America decide they need some extra donor cash, suddenly Jews in Israel become a priority. And when Politicians in the Purple States find themselves in a truly uphill battle to get elected to become re-elected, some of their best friends suddenly are Jews. And then some Politicians in very Red States, know that calling Neo Nazi’s/White Supremacists/Proud Boys or the KKK good people, once again it is the Jews used as a prop.

A prime example of using Jews as a Prop is, Ronnie DeSantis.  DeSantis says Palestinian refugees from Gaza are 'all antisemitic' and taking them in would increase 'anti-Americanism' (Fortune). But yet, DeSantis keeps failing the most basic test in politics: denouncing Nazis. (Miami Herald)  Props, yep, Israel, Israeli Jews, Jews of America, so many, especially Republicans, “Can’t live with Jews,” and at the same time, “can’t live without Jews.

 

And then we have Arab nations, who just refuse to get their whole stories together, and like their American Republican counterpart Politicians, love using Jews as Props. The implosion of the hospital in Gaza was sheer terrorism at its worst, with innocents bearing the brunt of people who seem to have little use for human life, and who also use innocents as Props. Facts seem to never matter with many Arab leaders, at least when they require Jews and Israel to remain their “BAD GUYS,” Props. 

Where were the indignant pronouncements when Hamas tortured, burned, raped, and murdered innocents in Israel? Silence was the “golden rule,” in most Arab nations because to remain silent regarding Arab atrocities against Jews is a great use of a Prop. Now that facts are arising as to who and how the hospital was demolished, Silence, once again is the perfect Prop, to pretend to look the other way. Gaza is a Prop for way too many Arab leaders because by ignoring the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza, and never offering any real actions to assist them, Israel is the perfect Prop on which to place all of the blame.

 

Anti-Semitic terrorism in the United States has risen with the rise of Trump. He used Israel as a Prop to con his wealthy Jewish Donors, who, as I see it, used Israel as their Prop to somehow seem like good guys, all the while paying the bills for an Anti-Semitic Dictator to thrive. Is the love for Israel a true love by the Christian Evangelicals who seem to like the Jews in Israel, but do not prefer the Jews in the US, or are the Preachers using Israel as a Prop. I am tired, sick, and tired as an American who happens to be Jewish, being used as a Prop!

Free Enterprise?

 free en·ter·prise

What Is Free Enterprise? Free enterprise, or the free market, refers to an economy where the market determines prices, products, and services rather than the government. Businesses and services are free of government control. (Oxford Dictionary)

 

I want to understand EXACTLY who is FREE, and whose FREEDOM are we talking about when we suggest that one of the things that makes America great is our system of free market or free enterprise? Are those who cannot afford to pay double the price of a life-saving drug, free to, hmmm, live a limited life? Or maybe the freedom is just for the Corporations, their CEO’s, and their Board Members? Of course, Paxlovid is just most current drug whose price has skyrocketed, I suppose because those who have the wealth to live a freer life, have no time for the peasants who are poor.

 

I understand the mechanics of Capitalism, but when items such as food, as housing, as health care are considered as frivolous as vacations, new cars, second or third homes, jet planes, and yachts, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND Capitalism. Yeah, I understand that Drug Companies spend money on research, but I do not understand, how, if those Corporations are in the business of trying to KEEP HUMANS HEALTHY, and they actually have medicines that KEEP HUMANS HEALTHY, why is that too often than not, too many HUMANS cannot afford those drugs, created to keep them healthy!

 

Pfizer more than doubles price of lifesaving Covid-19 medication Paxlovid as US transitions out of pandemic phase. The price of the lifesaving Covid-19 antiviral medication Paxlovid will more than double as the United States transitions out of the emergency phase of the pandemic, drugmaker Pfizer said Wednesday. The list price, before insurance, will be $1,390 for a five-day course, Pfizer said in a statement. That’s 2.6 times higher than the $530-per-course price paid by the US government, which provided Paxlovid free to patients during the pandemic. (CNN)

 

 

 

Land Mines

 Like land mines. It is like placing land mines, for the Media, I believe, when people with evil intentions pretend that there are two sides to the story. And most often, I believe no matter how often the Media has or had stepped upon the land mines laid by people with evil intentions, somehow in search of thinking they must proceed with the idea of two sides of a circumstance, the Media still, almost willingly step upon the land mines laid, oh so cleverly by those I believe to be evil-doers.

Recently, I have witnessed, shouts of “Benghazi, Benghazi,” “But Her Emails,” from our Domestic Republican parasites. Oh so cleverly they insist that the facts are there, and if the Lame Street or Left-Wing Media is truly doing their jobs, they would most certainly investigate. And like the children’s game of Telephone, the truth is never told, but instead, the lies linger, become elongated, and in trying to actually discover “BOTH SIDES,” one side of pure propaganda becomes the winner.

 

“The Big Lie,” as in let’s listen and investigate the loathsome insipid tantrums of an Insurrectionist and his cadre of coup-loving clowns. We must consider HIS facts and eschew and eschew his blatant purposely placed land mines. The lies blow up in the faces of the Media, who insist that professional journalism translates into following the machinations of mad men and mad women.

 

Now, IMMEDIATELY, the New York Times, trying their darndest to make the “BUT BOTH SIDES,” argument, is CERTAIN that if Hama, a terrorist organization that brags about killing babies, raping women, and embedding their own troops in the apartments and neighborhoods of innocents, claims that a hospital in Gaza was bombed by the Israeli’s then it must have happened that way. Land Mines set and once again in their rush to immediately state, “But Both Sides,” facts become frivolous, and fiction remains the Top Dog.

 

Land Mines, a really grotesque end result of war.

GYM, GYMMIE, GYM

 So, Jim (GYM) Jordan is the GUY, that Republicans have backed to become the Speaker of the House. HMMM…Aside from some VERY, VERY, VERY factual issues regarding things like THE SMOOTH TRANSITION OF POWER. THE CONSTITUTION, INSURRECTION, one has to wonder, and I ONE, why else does it sound INSANE that a petty peon with a myriad of mayhem might even be considered to become SPEAKER and the Second person to succeed to the Presidency!

 

Jordan was closely involved in Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the election. On 2 January 2021, Jordan led a conference call with members of Congress and the White House in which they discussed urging Trump supporters to march to the Capitol. The day before the January 6 attack, Jordan texted the then White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to pass on advice that Pence should “call out all the electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all”.

 

Jordan helped seed the lie that the election was stolen.

Jordan has been one of the most prolific spreaders of misinformation about the election. Weeks before election day, Jordan accused Democrats of “trying to steal” the election.

 

Jordan blocked efforts to find out more about his involvement in the plan to overturn the election.

The January 6 committee subpoenaed Jordan and four other congressmen after the group refused to voluntarily cooperate with the panel. Jordan refused to comply with that subpoena, calling it “an unprecedented. (The Guardian)

 

So GYM Jordan is in line to become the GO-TO GUY within the GOP to actually help establish rules and regulations and laws in the USA. Gym represents the 4^th District of Ohio, (one of the MOST gerrymandered districts in the nation. Ohioans passed amendments for anti-gerrymandering reform of Ohio Statehouse districts in 2015 with more than 71% of the vote, and for Congressional districts in 2018 with nearly 75% of the vote. Those reforms, however, ran through the state legislature and left politicians in control over the process. (Belt Magazine) Frustrated Ohioans, furious Jim Jordan: Ohio's congressional maps have a long way to go. (The Columbus Dispatch)

 

Aside from Treasonous active participation, helping to assist in a Coup, and of course, ignoring a lawful Subpoena, GYM has been elected from a District void of any competition, established by the Republicans. With no true competition due to an intentional creation of district boundaries, this THUG is in office not because of the practices of Democracy, but the instillation of a Fascist set of rules. And with ALL of that in his little resume, he is in line to become SPEAKER! Holy Shit!

Elise Stefanik, WHO?

 Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) tried to make the case for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as House speaker on Tuesday, but her comments caused some members of Congress to audibly gasp.

While nominating Jordan for the job, Stefanik claimed that he “is the voice of the American people who have felt voiceless for far too long. Whether as judiciary chair, conservative leader, or representative for his constituents in West Central Ohio, whether on the wrestling mat or in the committee room, Jim Jordan is strategic, scrappy, tough and principled.” (HuffPost)

 

First, who the hell IS Elise Stefanik. Yeah I know she is the 4^th ranking Republican in the House. (Having been the replacement for one of the only female GOP MUCHERS, Liz Cheney-cause the GOP had to pretend they are not Misogynists. Yeah I know she campaigned for George Santos, who is alleged in the superseding indictment, between approximately December 2021 and August 2022, Santos devised and executed a fraudulent scheme to steal the personal identity and financial information of contributors to his campaign.)  Yeah I know she has been the Representative from the NY 21^st District since 2015 (This a rural district in NY, and apparently likes to have MAGA as their role model). YEAH, I know all of that but in the real world of DEMOCRACY, LIBERTY, FACTS, TRUTH, AND MORALS…who the hell is she?

 

It seems WHO Elise Stefanik IS, is a hypocrite, a lemming, an insurrectionist loving, wannabe, who will do anything for her fame and fortune, even when what she does makes her infamous, and unfortunate for the rest of AMERICA. Elise is searching for the BIG TIME, a place in the Dystopian Empire where values, intelligence, freedoms, and expression of differences are not important.

 

SO, Elise Stefanik, again, who IS she, has tried to make a case for Jim (Gym) Jordan to become the 2^nd in line for the Presidency, even though he STILL has not stated that Biden won his election, who still has not responded as might most innocent folks to a House Subpoena, and who from all accounts was on the phone with the leader of the COUP, Trump. And in her portfolio of what the fuck, had, at least today demonstrated a complete tone-deaf defense of Gym Jordan, by mentioning his sordid career of NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE MAKE WRESTLERS OF OHIO STATE, MOLEESTED AND HARRASSED IN THE LOCKER ROOM!

These Three Republicans

 Speaker of the House, the second in line to become President.

Jim Jordan skeptics begin lining up behind his House speaker bid.

“Jim Jordan and I have had two cordial, thoughtful, and productive conversations over the past two days,” Rogers said in a statement, saying Jordan addressed his concerns about defense spending, federal funding and agricultural legislation.

Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), another self-proclaimed never-Jordan member, said in a statement "[t]oo much is at stake to hand control of the House over to radical liberal Democrats, which is why we must elect a conservative as the next Speaker.”

“After having a conversation with Jim Jordan about how we must get the House back on a path to achieve our national security and appropriations goals,” Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) said in a post on X. (AXIOS)

 

These three Republicans are part of a farce, a circus of freaks ignoring reality preferring their own version of Patriotism, and of course self-preservation. These three Republicans, pretending that somehow electing a Republican to the Speakership is okay, even though that Republican was apparently deeply involved with an Insurrection, and an attempted COUP against our Nation. These three Republicans have the audacity to say Jordan is committed to our defense spending, while he NEVER made any attempt to defend our democracy. These three Republicans insist that because Democrats fought hard for our Constitution, Freedoms, Liberties, and Democracy are too liberal. These three Republicans are a sad sack assortment of the rest of the Republicans in Congress, who prefer, Putin/Trump/Authoritarianism/ and the demise of democratic principles.  How fucked up, how very fucked up! 

 

In the months leading up to and following the 2020 presidential election, potential House speaker and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan prolifically pushed false stolen election rhetoric. He would later be applauded by Trump in his speech to supporters on January 6, 2021, calling the Ohio Republican one of the “great ones” for his efforts. One hundred forty-seven Republicans objected to the election results on January 6, 2021, but Jordan, with his constant television and radio appearances, was among the most vocal. Time and again, Jordan suggested Trump could not have lost because Republicans picked up seats in the House of Representatives that cycle and Trump got more votes than in 2016. “Something doesn’t feel right here,” Jordan said in one appearance on Hannity, repeating a frequent remark of his. “Our president got 9 million more votes this time than he did four years ago, and yet he comes up short,” Jordan said. In the lead up to the election, Jordan baselessly suggested numerous times that Democrats were orchestrating a plan to steal the election – implying that Covid-19 rule changes for voting in states were part of a Democratic plot. Rather than testify about the crimes of Donald Trump, Representative Jim Jordan criminally defied a congressional subpoena. (CNN)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Find A TRUTH

 A 15-year-old known for tough questions was kicked out of a GOP event. (Washington Post)

Those tough guys and gals from the GOP. They are so TOUGH, except when it comes to TRUTH, or people asking them to tell A TRUTH.

 

Quinn Mitchell asks hard questions of some of the most powerful politicians in the country.

At a campaign event in 2019, he pressed presidential candidate Joe Biden about whether “impeachment proceedings should start” against President Donald Trump, the Boston Globe reported. That same year, as an 11-year-old, he asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who was also running for the Democratic nomination, about special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s testimony before Congress on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to USA Today. And in June, he asked Florida governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis if Trump had “violated the peaceful transfer of power” on Jan. 6, 2021. (Washington Post)

Quinn Mitchell did and does his homework. He reads, listens, questions and just wants to understand. Of course in AMERIKA trying to find A TRUTH, especially from Republican Politicians, and Republican Operatives, is like trying to find that damned needle not in just one haystack but about a billion haystacks.

 

On Friday, Quinn was kicked out of the New Hampshire Republicans’ First in the Nation Leadership Summit after a volunteer accused him of being a Democratic operative, according to Quinn and state GOP officials. Claiming Quinn had caused multiple disturbances at previous events, a pair of GOP officials had security eject him from the Sheraton hotel in Nashua, N.H., he said. (Washington Post)

Republican so-called “grown-ups,” acting so tough against Trans people, against Drag Queens, against Immigrants, against People of Color, but TERRIFIED of a 15-year-old kid, who just wants to know A TRUTH! PATHETIC, to say the least!

My Super Powers

 A whack on the side of the head, today, my husband Joe, provided me with my own whack on the side of the moment.

Sunday, a chill has finally invaded the shores of North Truro, loud and proud so it seems as it dances with the branches of the trees on our property and seems to do some kind of tango with the remaining perennials still bragging about their hues of purple and yellow flowers. Gray skies with the thickest layer of clouds loom over our house, almost begging us to wonder, will it rain, and when?  Luckily we live on a road, off the main byways of town, so when quiet arrives, it seems soothing, soft, and nestles like that of a favorite sweatshirt. It is a lulling kind of sensation, promising, at least for the next moments, that all may be well, but also cautioning us to not get so comfortable as to be fooled!

 

We permitted ourselves, Joe and I, 10 minutes of news, be it from TV, our Computer, or our phone. 10 minutes we decided, to at least let us know how much closer to midnight the Doomsday Clock has ticked and tocked. From the Middle East to Ukraine to Washington DC, we both listened to, or read, just how unmanageable our current events have become, and how the world, foreign and domestic is imploding. Today, this Sunday, October 15, 2023, 10 minutes suddenly seemed an eternity.

 

It was then, with no technology roaming randomly within our house, thus permitting the silence to find its footing once again, that Joe said to me. “Honey, do you realize, that you, according to much of the world and nation, have at least two Super Powers?” I thought he was preparing a joke, so I awaited the supposed punchline. Everyone seems to be afraid of the “Jews, and the Gays.” He then continued, “I have one Super Power, as a Gay man, but damn, Honey, you have two, so start using them, NOW!”

 

History, yeah MAGA, as in the stuff that really happened, the stuff for some reason scares the shit out of your exclusive life. You seem so comfortable having your heads up your own asses.  History has provided human beings with some kind of worrisome mystery, as to why everyone thinks the small population of Jewish people are so DAMNED POWERFUL. Then add to that the continuous attempts to decimate Homosexuals. For some Cosmic or Supernatural reasons, translated as your own insecurities and self-loathing, you wish to think that Jews will murder your Gods, and Homosexuals will turn every single one of you Gay.

 

The whack on the side of my head, made me realize, that DAMN, why would I as a Jew and as a Homosexual, not fire up my Super Powers. If not now, WHEN!

 

 

The same purpose

 The Terrorist Group, Hezbollah, has done a great job of infiltrating the Lebanese Government. Many members of Hezbollah are actually Ministers of Government Agencies. The nation is called Lebanon, but in reality, it is directly run by Hezbollah and indirectly a pawn of Iran. Very frightening when a universally recognized Terrorist Group is the leader of a country. Hezbollah wields significant power in Lebanon, where it operates as both a Shiite Muslim political party and a militant group. It opposes Israel and Western powers operating in the Middle East, and it functions as a proxy of Iran, its largest benefactor. (Council on Foreign Relations)

 

The Terrorist Group, Bashar al-Assad Hamas, had done a fine job of embedding themselves in Gaza. Post-election polls from the last election, indicated that Hamas' victory was due largely to Palestinians' desire to end corruption in government rather than support for the organization's political platform. (Council on Foreign Relations) The pretend promise to end corruption by a corrupt organization, which operates via fear, harassment, and denial of personal freedoms, is just one more ploy to keep the peasants in tow.

 

The Palestine Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the West Bank, is a Sunni Islamist militant group seeking to establish an Islamist Palestinian state that is committed to the destruction of Israel. (Director of National Intelligence.gov) This band of Terrorists is supported by Syria’s leader Bashar al-Assad, who remains in power due to the military and financial assistance of Vladimir Putin, who in turn has turned his nation of Russia into a haven for hate, murder, and terror.

 

And now in the United States, the MAGA Republicans, using the same charade as Hamas, insisting that anyone but they, are corrupt, have been emboldened to fight any and all democratic principles, replacing those with tenants closely identified with Fascism/Theocracy and Authoritarianism. The MAGA Republican front-runner for President has informed us that he will deny liberties and justice for his perceived enemies. Most others running for that office have offered very few alternatives. And most disgusting of all, is that as of now, the leading candidate from the MAGA Republican Party, for House Speaker, the second in line to become President, is just as anti-American in actions and motivation, as TRUMP.

 

HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS/PALISTINE ISLAMIC JIHAD all have the same thing in common, as I see it, as the MAGA Republicans, by rotting away and fabric of decency, democracy, freedom, and choice. The only difference between HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS/PALISTINE ISLAMIC JIHAD Terrorist organizations and the MAGA Republicans, again, as I see it, is that HEZBOLLAH/HAMAS/PALISTINE ISLAMIC JIHAD use Islam as their ploy, whereas MAGA Republicans use Christianity as their ploy.

I refuse to imagine

 Wanted: Speaker of the House. Must Lie About the 2020 Election.

The GOP finds itself without a viable candidate for Speaker, in part because the party finds itself unable to tell the truth about Trump’s election loss.

 

Rep. Ken Buck, the Colorado conservative, wound up very disappointed when he asked the two GOP candidates for Speaker of the House to answer a simple question: Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election fair and square? 

Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan prevaricated and danced. The GOP-only meeting was behind closed doors, but Donald Trump would inevitably hear about it. So they refused to answer. 

Jordan was in repeated, direct contact with Trump and other plotters immediately before and during Jan. 6. He refused a subpoena to give evidence to the January 6 investigation. And of course, he’s used his power as chair of the House Judiciary Committee to attempt to undermine prosecutors and interfere in their criminal investigations of Trump. (VICE)

 

TRUMP never had to throw his hat in the ring to become Speaker, not with his clone, Gym Jordan. Imagine the Second person in line to become President, is the House Speaker, and if Gym Jordan gains that office, imagine PUTINS’ delight. Imagine a Political Party so fraught with Insurrectionists, attempted Coup participants, anti-democracy activists, and Enemies of the State to be the Majority in the House, and to help implode the rights liberties, and freedoms of our nation!

 

Where the fuck are the so-called Moderate Republicans elected from Purple districts which voted for President Biden? Where the fuck are any Republicans who actually have read History Books and taken Civic Classes? And where are the Constituents of the GOP who actually care about the future of this nation?

 

Gym Jordan, the guy who turned his head on purpose as the Ohio State male wrestlers were molested. Gym Jordan, refusing to be honest about his involvement in the attempted Coup of January 6^th, and how much he knew to be true about TRUMPS plans to overturn our democracy. Gym Jordan who still acts as the dummy to his ventriloquist owner TRUMP, and Gym Jordan who just might become the Second in line to the US Presidency. Holy Shit!

A Plethora

 Donnie TRUMP is very good at bragging about the very bad things he has committed in his lifetime, and sadly, also, all the very bad things he had committed during his Regime in the White House. Donnie TRUMP, in fact, has a plethora of bad things from which to choose, and choose them he must because as a DERANGED AND DEMENTED NARCISSIST, he cannot help himself but brag about the bad. Among the plethora of bad characteristics floating inside his empty conscience is Donnie TRUMP's fear of being caught. And how we know he fears being caught is how he reacts to situations in which his bad behavior is so very evident.

In the wake of the hideous Hamas attack on Israel, with American lawmakers and both sides of the aisle pledging full support for our ally, Trump’s political instincts told him to slam Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and say: “Israel was not prepared.”

Trump criticizes Israel then praises Hezbollah. Whose side is he on?

Trump then praised the terrorist organization Hezbollah, which on Wednesday was attacking Israel along its northern border. 

“You know, Hezbollah is very smart,” Trump said. “They’re all very smart.” (USA Today)

 

If you have followed anything and almost everything Donnie TRUMP blurts out you will notice a pattern of coverup, used in his rhetoric. He is so proud of his crimes that he must brag about them, and when his crimes are uncovered, he immediately points fingers and flings accusations trying to blame them for his mistakes. He has done this with people like Michael Cohen, Mike Pence, almost every Secretary in his Cabinet to the myriad of his Chief of Staff. And another tactic Donnie TRUMP employs is to make the villains for whom he has committed his crimes, suddenly become the good guys, like Kim Jong-un to PUTIN, and now to Hezbollah.

 

I imagine Donnie TRUMP sold some secrets to PUTIN, and PUTIN needing Iranian Oil and Iranian Military Weaponry, gave those secrets to Iran, whose slimy government leaders provided their nest of nasties, Hezbollah and HAMAS, with just the right information to attack Israel. And even though Donnie TRUMP loves to languish with Dictators, Authoritarians, and Fascists, whenever he thinks his ploy is discovered will suddenly and swiftly become defensive of those evil people, and name-call everyone else. Donnie TRUMP fears being ridiculed so instead, he immediately ridicules others. Donnie TRUMP, as I see it, needs to brag about his nasty deeds.

Dehumanization

 HUMAN DIGNITY

If you undermine something such as a feeling or a system, you make it less strong or less secure than it was before, often by a gradual process or by repeated efforts.

At its most basic, the concept of human dignity is the belief that all people hold a special value that's tied solely to their humanity.

Human dignity is based on the superior value of the human being, endowed with reason and therefore freedom. We call “conscience” this properly human concern to act well and to reflect on one's own goodness or moral faults. (Wikipedia)

 

Hitler and the Nazis understood that undermining Human Dignity, especially the Jews, and the Homosexuals, the Gypsies, would help him persuade his population of misfits that a larger enemy loomed and to protect their fragile human dignity that they (the German people), should lose any dignity for those demographics. Eventually, and relentlessly the majority of the German population, accepted the idea, that they were ideal, and anyone who was not them had no human dignity.

 

Dehumanization can occur discursively (e.g., idiomatic language that likens individual human beings to non-human animals, verbal abuse, erasing one's voice from discourse), symbolically (e.g., imagery), or physically (e.g., chattel slavery, physical abuse, refusing eye contact).

 

In the American South Blacks could drink out of white-only water fountains, Blacks could not enter certain arenas or theaters, or if they did so, they had to use the back entrance. Blacks could not sit in the front of the bus. In Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the town of Bucha, On March 4, Russian forces returned and largely took control of the town was what Russian soldiers on intercepted phone conversations called “zachistka” — cleansing. The Russians hunted people on lists prepared by their intelligence services and went door to door to identify potential threats. (pbs) In America 2023, the Republican Party decided to DEHUMANIZE the Gays, the Lesbians, the Drag Queens, and the Trans People, by singling them out as threats to some invisible Christian book of morals. And now in Israel, HAMAS has DEHUMANIZED mainly Jewish families and babies by either burning them in their homes, or slaughtering them, women by raping them, and old and young by making them captives.

 

Dehumanization is the psychological process of demonizing the enemy, making them seem less than human and hence not worthy of humane treatment. This can lead to increased violence, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide. (Wikipedia) Losers, Authoritarians, Criminals, Immoral’s Self Loathing, are just a few examples of the people who use the tactic of DEHUMANIZATION as an act of war. 

 

 

Playing By Whose Rules

 Playing By Whose Rules.

 

From the era of the Trump Administration to the Post Trump daily incursions against the foundation of this nation, from the current events of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the Hamas declaration of war against, Israel and the Jewish people, I have witnessed an intended insidious and maligned malicious intent to ignore decency, morality and the common good.  From Trump to the current crop of American Republican Politicians and their Cadre of Wealthy Donors, to FOX to Putin,  and now to Hamas it has been demonstrated that rules, at least for them do not hold any weight, and breaking the rules is their goal win any and all battles, perceived, conceived and real. This group of VIILIANS has no problem lowering the standards for humanity and will continue to go as low as necessary to try and win.  

 

But, when Trump, the GOP, The GOP Wealthy Donors, FOX, Putin, and HAMAS are confronted suddenly they all wilt and want the rest of us to actually PLAY BY THE RULES. Sadly has been the case that sincere, honest, law-abiding, morals and values matter to humans, we fall prey and PLAY BY THE RULES.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Many examples are easy to see as to how the VILLIANS use both sides of PLAYING BY THE RULES to their advantage. Trump blatantly breaks the law, yet he still has a current “stay out of jail card,” while his dozens of accusations await a court date. Trump harasses and threatens people, yet the only consequence, once again, is a Judge weighing his “free speech amendment.” Putin invades Ukraine knowing full well that if Ukraine truly fought back with the same war effort attacking his homeland, a barrage of nuclear weapons would be used. The GOP House Majority uses its best Snake Oil Salespeople to invent crimes and they use a Kangaroo Court to hear those crimes, never playing by the same honest standards of law and order. FOX, lies, lies again, establishing their communication rules, yet whenever true journalism is used to report current events, FOX cries foul. And now HAMAS is hiding in the homes, schools, mosques, and neighborhoods of GAZA placing their population in harm’s way, and after raping, beheadings kidnapping innocents, HAMAS insists that the US and Israel should play by the archaic standards of war.        

 

Barnum said, “A sucker is born every minute,” And damn, as I see it is very true!             

Thank goodness

 If we learn anything from history, we must take our enemies at their word.  We must learn from history, and not as way too many Republicans insist, ignore history because somehow its truths upset some. We must not hide from history as way too many Republicans insist, because the facts it forces us to recall and remember, and doing so causes us to feel some kind of shame.

“You know, there are moments in this life — and I mean this literally — when the pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world.

The people of Israel lived through one such moment this weekend.  The bloody hands of the terrorist organization Hamas — a group whose stated purpose for being is to kill Jews. This was an act of sheer evil.”-President Joe Biden.

 

DO NOT TELL ME, that Hamas was doing this for a free Palestine. DO NOT TELL ME, that Hamas is no different than ISIS or the Taliban.

“Parents butchered using their bodies to try to protect their children. 

Stomach-turning reports of being — babies being killed.

Entire families slain.

Young people massacred while attending a musical festival to celebrate peace — to celebrate peace.

Women raped, assaulted, paraded as trophies.” -President Joe Biden.

 

Thank goodness  DONALD TRUMP is not sitting in the Oval Office, sharing top secrets with enemies. Thank goodness, Donald TRUMP is not sitting in the Oval Office, claiming he is the best friend of Jews, but not Liberal Jews. Thank goodness, Donald Trump is not the President of the United States.

“This is terrorism.

But sadly, for the Jewish people, it’s not new.

This attack has brought to the surface painful memories and the scars left by a millennia of antisemitism and genocide of the Jewish people.”

 

 

 

Once again, TRUMP

Thom Hartmann, author and political commentator, posted on X, formerly Twitter, while sharing a 2017 article from The Washington Post: "Hamas apparently knew how to get around Israel's Iron Dome defenses. They probably learned this from Iran. Iran almost certainly got the information from Russia. And who gave it to Russia? Sure looks like it was Donald Trump, at the request of Putin." Trump is due to go on trial in May 2024 accused of retaining classified documents after he left the White House in January 2021, and then obstructing the federal attempt to retrieve them from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Springs, Florida. The former president has pleaded not guilty to 40 charges as part of the criminal case and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

In 2017, Trump defended sharing sensitive intel with Russia at the White House (WH), saying it was necessary for security reasons. (NEWSWEEK)

 

Interesting isn’t it… I mean think about the shock and amazement, expressed by Israel, the United States, and its allies…that SOMEHOW…SOMEHOW, Hamas could pull off their declaration of war and invasion of Israel, with such ease. One has to wonder, one must wonder was the civil unrest within Israel against the attempt by Netanyahu to become a Fascist leader, the catalyst for such easy access by Hamas to invader, maim, and murder? Seriously? 

 

My turn for Conspiracy thinking, especially as we live in some kind of Trump-related End Times. The macabre whirling world that Trump had created no longer is expected to play by any rules of decency, nor are we to suppose that democracy will survive. Can anyone honestly, given the recent splatter of treasonous facts, regarding Trump’s careless regard for the sanctity of the US, NOT wonder how deeply and sickeningly Trump's action might have or is it may have or is it most likely HAVE encouraged and invigorated the Hamas attack.

 

And what perfect timing, indeed. Trump needs negative things to happen so he can and his KLAN of MAGA can blame President Biden. So far chaos in the House has delayed democracy from gaining ground against Putin in Ukraine. No Speaker, to US response. Chaos has always been Putin’s strength, along with lies. The GOP pretends to care about Israel, and thus democracy in that nation, but one less place for democracy to thrive, one more notch in Putin’s belt. Say the name TRUMP and all kinds of bad things should be and can be imagined!

 

for the Grace...

 “There for the grace of God go I!” But when it is humans acting as Gods, using religion as a scapegoat for their own maligned and malicious intent, there is no grace at all for anyone!

In the kibbutz of Be'eri, one of the largest in Israel, more than 100 bodies of Israeli citizens were discovered on Monday, with women, children and the elderly "brutally butchered," the Israel Defense Forces said. Israeli children have also been among those reported kidnapped by Hamas terrorists. (ABC)

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a speech Monday that among the "atrocities" committed by Hamas, children have been "executed with the rest of their families."

In remarks at the White House Tuesday, President Joe Biden described "Hamas' bloodthirstiness" as reminiscent of ISIS rampages -- including "stomach-churning reports of babies being killed." (ABC News)

 

And there will be retaliation, for the actions initiated by the Hamas murderers who, if they truly wanted to wage war, and because they have proven that their particular religious belief places the male as the Alpha being, could have only attacked other males, adult males…but the brutality of their scheme has shown through and these so-called “MALE ALPHAS, chose to include non-males as a part of their intended violence. In Gaza, the bodies of dead children killed in shelling were covered in blankets and carried by their fathers in funeral processions. (ABC News)

 

Vengeance, Retaliation, War, rinse and repeat. To kidnap innocents, to murder innocents, because somehow you believe your God commanded you to do so, to prove some kind of point is just one more example of how YOU manipulate your God and mangle your religion.
