Stop him already

 In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump shared a link to a New York Post article about the judge's daughter, who has consulted to Democratic campaigns, and wrote, "This is a disgrace to our Legal System. Judge Merchan should be immediately sanctioned and recused, and this fake 'case,' only kept alive by the Highly Conflicted Judge, should be completely dismissed right away." The post included photos of Merchan's daughter. Rolling Stone has withheld her name as she is not involved in the case.

Trump has attacked the judge's daughter at least three other times in the last week. The judge issued a gag order on Tuesday -- hours after Trump attacked his daughter -- barring the former president from discussing witnesses and others involved in the case. On Thursday, District Attorney Alan Bragg requested Judge Merchan clarify whether the gag order applies to Trump's attacks against the his daughter, and if not, he asked the judge to expand the order to include her and others.

Judge Merchan "should make abundantly clear that the [gag order] protects family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order," Bragg wrote in a letter that was filed Thursday and unsealed on Friday, according to The Washington Post.

He may have, once upon a time, been President (and if we had actually done our due diligence as a nation, we might have discovered that, indeed, that was conceived by smoke and mirrors and a whole lot of Russian collusion), but he is now supposedly a common citizen. He may have once been President, but now all he is, IS a THUG, a PERP, a CRIMINAL, an INSURRECTIONIST, an accused RAPIST, a FRAUDSTER, MOB BOSS, and a THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. So please explain to those of us who do not wish to make him a KING, A MONARCH, a DICTATOR, and AUTHORITIRAIN why he has received more chances than the rest of us to continue to roam free and IGNORE JUSTICE!

Billionaires Who Once Disavowed Trump Are Coming Crawling Back (Which Might Have Something to Do With Biden Vowing to Raise Their Taxes) (Vanity Fair)

U.S. political advertising spend will likely jump by nearly a third in 2024 over the previous U.S. presidential election year, with TV media again taking a lion's share of the dollars, according to a report by research firm Insider Intelligence.

 

The figure is expected to rise by about 30% from 2020 to $12.32 billion this year, the report said. Ad spend on traditional media, most of which is TV, will rise 7.9% and account for 71.9% of all spend. (REUTERS)

 

Dark money nonprofits proliferated after the 2010 Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that political spending can't be limited if it is made independent of a campaign. (why.org)

 

How is this even a thing in a nation that loves to defend democracy, pretending that one person, one vote, is what makes the US great. If ya’ got the ‘Benjamin’s,” buy yourself a Politician. If ya’ really a person of the people kind of candidate but don’t have enough of those people with tons of cash, just “fuck off!” After ya pay for the Politician to actually win their election, continue to buy and sell using your money, and permanently own that Politician, at least until some other grifter comes along.

 

If ya’ only care about yourself and only indulge in what is good for you, then American Politics will make you feel welcomed and right at home!

 

IF NOT NOW...EVER?

 “If Not Now, When…”

Trump posts video with an image of a hog-tied Biden, drawing a rebuke from campaign "Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6," said Michael Tyler, the Biden campaign's communications director. The U.S. Secret Service released a statement saying it "does not confirm or comment on matters of protective intelligence.” (POLITICO)

I might imagine that if you or I, and perhaps any other living American, had posted this image, by now, every one of us would have had a visit fr both the Secret Service and the FBI.

 

“If Not Now, When…”

In a letter to New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan dated Thursday and acknowledged as received by the court on Friday, prosecutors said that potential trial witnesses and prospective jurors were likely to fear attacks that could extend to their families after Trump on Wednesday blasted Merchan as “biased and conflicted” and took aim at his daughter for a social media post that a court spokesperson said was wrongly attributed to her.

"As a result, this Court should make abundantly clear that the March 26 Order protects family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order. Furthermore, the Court should warn defendant that his recent conduct is contumacious and direct him to immediately desist," they wrote. (NBC News)

 Threats, direct, very deliberate, threats which are dog whistles for harm and violence, even Crime Bosses have been chastised, called out, and ordered to stop their intentional harassment.  But once again and again, and again, Trump receives little to no consequence for his words, his deeds, and his actions. Imagine you or I and almost every other American permitted to remain a VERBAL BULLY!

 

I have grown oh so tired of the double and triple standards, the hypocrisy, and the rampant disregard for law, order, truth, and fairness. But I see very, very, very little in any TRUE effort to inform Trump that he is not above the law.

 

 

 

 

 

About the women

 Taliban edict to resume stoning women to death met with horror. Afghan regime’s return to public stoning and flogging is because there is ‘no one to hold them accountable’ for abuses, say activists. (The Guardian)

It’s about women. It’s about women and the men who loathe them. It’s about women and the men who fear being emasculated by them. It’s about women and the hypocritical religious zealots who use their perceived God as a scapegoat, permitting them to hate women and blame their hatred on their God.

 

IT AIN’T just about Afghani women and the Taliban Religious Terrorists. IT AIN’T just about the high jacking of Islam by a bunch of insecure men. IT IS ABOUT the misogyny, bias, and bullshit used as a weapon by people who love to act as God, replacing their God with their own human failures. IT AIN’T just about AFGHANISTAN, folks, IT IS ABOUT the idea that RELIGIOUS dogma becomes the replacement for governing and that RELIGIOUS dogma, as interpreted by insecure males, should be accepted as the rule of law.

 

Replace the word Afghanistan with the words United States. Replace the word Taliban with the words AMERICAN CHRISTIAN NATIONAILISM. Replace the word Islam with the word Christianity. In America in the year 2024, more and more laws, generated and extolled by the Republican Christian Conservative Taliban, have recreated a world in which women no longer have ownership of their bodies, their reproductive rights, and their rights to be equaled. This AIN’T an isolated problem for Muslims but a situation where RELIGION of all kinds has been derailed by so-called religious males who seem to FEAR WOMEN

 

 

Not the same

 FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years in Prison. A US judge has sentenced Sam Bankman-Fried, one-time crypto wunderkind, to 25 years behind bars. (WIRED)

Honestly, I had no idea that Sam Bankman-Fried existed, at least until a bunch of wanna-be wealthy folks discovered that when it comes to their greed, there happens to be even more greedier folks ready to take advantage of greed. But more and more I read about Sam Bankman-Fried, and his greed in the form of fraud, I have taken notice. Not because I give a shit about Sam Bankman-Fried, but more so because since Sam Bankman-Fried, happens TO BE TRUMP, somehow his fraud is found to be against the law. Easy peasy, I suppose, because the law only directly and quickly applies to anyone WHO IS NOT TRUMP.

 

GOP official who claimed 2020 was stolen voted illegally nine times, judge rules. A Georgia Republican official who pushed false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” was found to have voted illegally nine times, a judge ruled this week. (The Washington Post).

I am so tired of how easy it is for the Republicans to INSIST that elections in this nation are always stolen whenever the Republicans lose. I am fucking sick and tired of how silent the Democrats respond when accused of stealing the elections. And I am pissed as fuck as to the silence the majority of the Media does not respond to those Republicans by never LOUDLY printing or reporting the truth regarding the real theft of our elections!

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene called out Mike Johnson's faith in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, Greene said that Johnson "can't follow Christ and fund full-term abortion clinics. That's the inconvenient truth. (NEWSWEEK)

I am Jewish, not a Christian. I was raised by a family who believed that inclusion was a basic tenant of Judaism, so growing up, my family had little use for bigots, haters, and bias. I am flummoxed, disappointed, and disillusioned when I hear absolute SILENCE for the general Christian community as they seem to refuse to call out members of their religion who use their religion to punish anyone who is not them. The NOISE seems to always erupt from the self-anointed Christian Crusaders, who never practice what they preach but rather, preach so no one spends the time witnessing what they practice. So Margie-Putin-Greene practices, willingly ADUTLRY, LIES, DIVORCES, and somehow has the self-righteous audacity to call out anyone who isn’t her, religious beliefs and practices…and is NEVER, EVER called out in the same fashion and manner as she calls out everyone else!

 

 

 

 

1873 once again!

 Be afraid, America, be very worried, America!

The Comstock Act of 1873 made it illegal to send “obscene, lewd or lascivious,” “immoral,” or “indecent” publications through the mail. The law also made it a misdemeanor for anyone to sell, give away, or possess an obscene book, pamphlet, picture, drawing, or advertisement. (Women and the American S-year-

 

The Comstock Act , a 151-year-old law, was passed by Congress under the administration of Ulysses S. Grant and criminalized the act of using the U.S. Postal Service to send "obscene" materials such as contraceptives, substances that induce abortion, pornographic content, sex toys and any written material about these items. The distribution of information about birth control and abortion was banned under the Comstock Act. Supporters of the law argued that access to information and tools connected to birth control encouraged young people to have sex before marriage and condoned extramarital sex. (New York Times)

 

151-year-old law, The Comstock Act, never EVER removed from the law of the land, almost forgotten by many who believe in freedom, liberty and justice for all, BUT remaining in the guts of those who see inequality, injustice, theocracy, and Christian Nationalism as a symbol of their America. Two shining stars of hypocrisy, anti-Democracy, and acting as puppets for the wealthy who prefer to act as Gods, Alito Jr, and Thomas, hold on tightly to the Comstock Act.

 

Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Clarence Thomas repeatedly invoked the Comstock Act during Tuesday's oral arguments regarding the abortion drug mifepristone, pressing lawyers about whether the 1873 federal law should apply to abortion drugs sent through the mail today. (Washington Post)

Amazing...ain't it

 Lies, lies, lies’ out of the gate: NBC disaster Ronna McDaniel roasted as she tries to revise Trump history: Will she survive?

But when asked why she hasn’t spoken out sooner, given that Trump was talking about his plan while she was still working for the GOP, McDaniel said being a good Trump soldier was more important than defending the rule of law.

“When you’re the RNC chair, you kind of take one for the whole team, right?” she said. “Now, I get to be a little bit more myself, right?”

“Ronna facilitated Trump’s corrupt fake elector plot and his effort to pressure [Michigan] officials not to certify the legitimate election outcome,” Cheney tweeted. “She spread his lies and called 1/6 ‘legitimate political discourse.’ That’s not ‘taking one for the team.’ It’s enabling criminality & depravity.” NJ.com)

 

It seems Ronna ROMENY McDaniel prides herself in having zero morals, less than zero values, and absolutely no standards. She had placed herself above any form of Patriotism towards the US, preferring to pledge her loyalty to a man who had made it perfectly clear that he had zero, zilch, no desire to place Country above self! Ronna did all she could to keep the Orange Traitor happy, from dropping her maiden name, which had been her professional moniker,  to admit that politics is much more a priority than obeying the rule of law. Ronna lied willingly, denied facts and the truth, and in her own self-serving way, was kind of the Tokyo Rose, a propagandist of the 2016 through 2021 elections.

 

Pretending that, “When you’re the RNC chair, you kind of take one for the whole team, right?” is the RIGHT thing to do, even when you know it is the wrong thing to do, Ronna remains a poster child for an American Political Party for whom SCRUPLES, HONESTY, and PATRIOTISM are meaningless.

 

And after all of that, all of Ronna’s dubious destructive and dangerous behavior, the CEOs of Comcast, the owners of NBC, seem to give one fucking shit that Ronna acted the Insurrectionist…and the CEOs of Comcast hired Ronna to become their Talking Political Head. Comcast via NBC has ENABLED  a LIAR to continue to LIE, and to pretend that if she did anything treasonous, it was cool. AMAZING ain’t it!

And in TURN

 'We're still in 1737'. The Republican candidate for a state Senate seat, Dusty Deevers, is a far-right Christian nationalist pastor from Oklahoma's 32nd District.

He claims to apply "the word of God to every issue" and wants to outlaw abortion, pornography, no-fault divorce, and calls for the public humiliation of adulterers. Deevers made an appearance on 'The Sword and The Trowel' recently to discuss his campaign and outline his plans for bringing all facets of society and governance under the rule of Jesus Christ should he win. Subsequently, on the show, Deevers rejected the idea of separating church and state, stating that since Christ is "the ruler of all the kings of the Earth" and that civil government must always function on "the presupposition is Christ is Lord," per the Right Wing Watch website. (Meaww)

 

At first glance after reading this article, one might, in a snarky voice, roll their eyes, sigh, and then add, sarcastically, well, what do you expect? After all, it's OKLAHOMA! At a second glance, after actually trying to absorb the information of this article, one might tsk, tsk, inhale a much larger chunk of breath and, slowly let all of that oxygen out, add this guy is an idiot. And at a third glance, one, if they have actually stopped pretending that the “HANDMAIDS TALE” is not real, alive and well in the US, state empathically, WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE HOLY FUCK!

 

Whoever the fuck this Dusty Deevers is matters very little; what matters, at least for me, is that this Christian Nationalist Fascist now feels empowered to state out loud, what had been, in the past a taboo, an anti-Democratic ideal of a Christian America, based not on the Constitution, but based on the biases, bogus, and bull shit of one person’s religious beliefs, and the complete removal of the Constitutions statement demanding that there be a STRONG DIVIDE between Church and State.

 

Let’s remember, folks, that too often Misogyny, Homophobia, transphobia, anti-Semitism, Racism, Xenophobia, Treason, Insurrection, and Anti-Abortion begin at a state level and are relished and rewarded by Republicans, leading them to spread these viruses to other states,, who in turn, turn to Congress or worse, the Supreme Court who in turn invents one more discriminatory law, for the Nation. This Cancer will not lie dormant or die in Oklahoma if the rest of us do nothing to stop it!

Republicans are livid as chaos threatens to cannibalize realize the House majority. (AXIOS)

OH MY GOD, chaos within a political party that has used chaos, confusion, lies, fiction, and falsehoods as a foundation of existence. Suddenly they have some introspective perception that all of their bull shit intended for EVERYONE ELSE has found the fan and is NOW smacking them in their own faces. OMG!

 

The Republicans, usurpers of freedom, deniers of Democracy, Trump-loving traitors and treasonists, liars, hypocrites, heretics, malignant MAGA, have suddenly discovered that all of their vile venom is a virus that not only attacks everyone else but them, IS NOW infecting them.

 

One can only hope that this infection is one which will devour all of them!

Hard to Imagine

 Judge in Trump Documents Case Has Scant Criminal Trial Experience Judge Aileen M. Cannon, under scrutiny for past rulings favoring the former president, has presided over only a few criminal cases that went to trial. Aileen M. Cannon, the Federal District Court judge assigned to preside over former President Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case, has scant experience running criminal trials, calling into question her readiness to handle what is likely to be an extraordinarily complex and high-profile courtroom clash.

 

Judge Cannon, 42, has been on the bench since November 2020, when Mr. Trump gave her a lifetime appointment shortly after he lost re-election. She had not previously served as any kind of judge, and because about 98 percent of federal criminal cases are resolved with plea deals, she has had only a limited opportunity to learn how to preside over a trial. (New York Times)

 

Whenever I read about Aileen Cannon’s assignment to oversee one of the most important cases in current American history, I first become aggravated, but then frustrated. This inexperienced person, one who has had limited actual employment in handling criminal trials, let alone a trial regarding espionage by none other than a past President, is somehow deemed capable of handling a trial of the century.

 

Does the Profession of Law have little to no standards regarding education or the experience and expertise of Judges? I mean, aside from this sham, look at how ANYONE can be nominated to the Supreme Court.

 

When I think about Aileen Cannon’s lack of hands-on experience, let alone first-hand knowledge in handling a case like this it makes me wonder. Imagine if a newly graduated Physician was given the job as head surgeon having only practiced on cadavers. Imagine if somebody who liked science, took science courses was made head of NASA. Imagine if in most any other profession, someone was given the authority to make decisions, which impacted the health and welfare, having had NO practical hands-on experience. IT, IS, FOR ME, HARD TO IMAGINE! 

 

Ain't it IRONIC

 Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has filed a motion to remove Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., as House speaker. 

The House is now out for a two week recess, so this threat will hang over Speaker Johnson. Greene vowed Friday to bring the motion up for a vote; it's not clear whether Johnson or other leaders are reaching out to her in an attempt to head that off. (npr)

 

I find it quite interesting or is the word I'm looking for, IRONIC. The Republican House, a majority who happen to be males, have gone out of their way to undercut as much personal freedom from women as they possibly could. It seems when listening to the bull shit which streams out of the mostly male mouths of Republican men that their biggest fears seem to focus on the belief that if a woman wants equality, she is assertive, a Lesbian, a Trans Woman, an ungrateful female, and worse a Leftist. The mostly Male House of Representatives, along with their HAREM of Republican women, who also seem to distrust other women who are not in their own COVEN, have developed legislation limiting the freedoms and liberties of Females. 

 

BUT YET… the same Republican Misogynists in the House seem to sweat out their own testosterone and grab tightly to their male genitalia whenever Margie-Putin-Greene demands total allegiance, total dominance. The same Males who support legislation that UNEMPOWERS females actually act like men who just dove into icy cold water feeling their testicles move inside of their stomachs, step aside, cower in the shadows, bitch, and moan, but EMPOWER  Margie-Putin-Greene.

They DID IT AGAIN

 “Oops, I did it again

I played with your heart, got lost in the game.

Oh baby, baby.

Oops, you think I'm in love.

That I'm sent from above

I'm not that innocent.” (Oops…I Did It Again/Martin Max)

 

Greene and other hardline conservatives had expressed anger with Johnson's handling of the six remaining appropriations bills for fiscal year 2024. The package of those bills – totaling $1.2 trillion – passed the House Friday morning with more Democratic support than Republican support. It now heads to the Senate. Working with Democrats to avoid a shutdown is also what triggered the push to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year. (npr)

 

They ain’t as American as Apple Pie, those pesky Fascist Republicans; in fact, they are more like as Russian as Beet Borsch. They don’t pledge allegiance to the Flag, those Treasonous Republicans, as they all hail their Fascist chief, TRUMP. They ain’t Patriots, those Republicans; instead, they are more like the Enemy of the State. In a way, those Republican TRUMP Cultists are more like Zombies; they eat their own, they infect their own, and THEY all become BRAIN DEAD!

 

Hmm, where are the so-called Moderate Republicans, the Republicans who actually come from NON-GERRYMANDERED DISTRICTS, the ones who represented Districts where Joe Biden won the popular vote?

 

Oh, MARGIE-Putin-Greene, there you go, GURL, once again pretending that America matters, when ONCE again, GURL, you and your TRUMP Shills place your priorities toward the accused Rapist and Fraud, who ONLY loves himself. MARGIE, the amount of Ignorance, Stupidity, and Hatred is becoming brighter than the sun.

 

 

On The Beach

 On the beach at night,

Stands a child with her father,

Watching the east, the autumn sky.

 

…Up through the darkness,

While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading…

 

…From the beach the child holding the hand of her father,

Those burial-clouds that lower victorious soon to devour all,

Watching, silently weeps… (On The Beach At Night/Walt Whitman)

 

These are excerpts from a much longer poem, ‘On The Beach At Night,’ by Walt Whitman, and for me, these three passages resonate and ruminate throughout my mind, my body, and my ability to maintain a sense of sanity; having tried to find hope and honesty, purpose and promise, these past eight years.

 

The tyranny of TRUMP and all of the collateral chaos he has caused has me looking into the sky, steering into what has become a void, a seemingly vast blackhole, which grows and grows and, as it evolves, seems to take greater pleasure in devouring the silent, those who remain quiet, and the naïve. I fear the horizon I witness. I watch that horizon grow bleaker and bleaker, darker and darker, knowing that right before my eyes, the magician has shown us his tricks, cons, schemes, and phoniness, YET he still maintains a stronghold as a grifter. I am not the only person seeing this manipulation, but the quiet, the silence, the sheer lack of indulgence to stop this charlatan seem to smother me and those around me.

 

We must stop, as a nation, ‘looking the other way,’ pretending that ‘both sides are equal,’  ‘keeping our heads in the sand,’ or up our own asses.’ As a nation, we must stop from closing our eyes and hiding under the blanket, presuming that by ignoring the monster, IT will go away. We see the burial clouds, we can hear the ruinous rumble of chaos they bring, we are told what kind of awful to expect, and YET, it seems we prefer being the victim instead of being victorious! 

Can't handle the truth

 In A Few Good Men when Jack Nicholson, as the tough Marine Colonel Nathan Jessup, and Tom Cruise, the hot shot Navy prosecuting attorney, have a testy exchange and in a fit of passion Nicholson blurts out “You can't handle the truth.  (Aaron Sorkin/’A Few Good Men’)

An Arizona lawmaker told her colleagues how the anti-abortion laws they passed affected her. Burch gave her colleagues personal insight into the consequences of the restrictive abortion laws that most of them have supported. Yet, while she was talking, most of the Republican lawmakers in the chamber stood up and left. As The Arizona Mirror reported: Several Republicans left during Burch’s comments, she told the Arizona Mirror. Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli was among them: He left as Burch was speaking, returning briefly from the adjacent member’s lounge in an apparent mistake while she was still speaking before quickly exiting again. As soon as she finished speaking, the Republican from Lake Havasu City returned so he could make a motion to adjourn the daily floor session. A sole Republican, Prescott Sen. Ken Bennett, remained on the floor while Burch spoke. When she was done, he walked over to her, expressed his sympathy for her situation, and gave her a hug. (MSNBC)

 

Perhaps, just PERHAPS when TRUTH is told, not just told, but PROUDLY SPOKEN, and directed towards those who seem to only thrive on LIES, perhaps the façade in which the LIARS live will begin to crumble. Maybe, just MAYBE, if those of us who prefer facts to fiction, sincerity over insincerity, honesty instead of hypocrisy, and we keep on keeping on stating what is real versus what is imagined, we can find power over persecution from the hateful!

 

The Republican/MAGA/Trump world only feels confident when they attack, only feel secure when they ostracize, only feel emboldened when they try to silence any opposition. Like the Wicked Witch of Oz, isn’t it about time those of us for whom the Republican/MAGA/Trump world loves to scapegoat stop turning the other cheek, looking the other way, and start throwing buckets of truth and facts at them, continuously, constantly, in a concerted effort? 

 

 

 

 

Dehumanizing

 Wisconsin middle school faces series of bomb threats after Libs of TikTok post. Following attention from Chaya Raichik’s hate account, a middle school in Waukesha received several threats. A school district in Wisconsin is the latest institution receiving bomb threats after right-wing extremist Chaya Raichik targeted it with her Libs of TikTok account. (The Advocate)

“Acceptance, equity, and inclusion should be cornerstones of our schools,” Taege wrote on Facebook in 2022. Taege is the Assistant Principal of the Butler Middle School in Waukesha. “Meet Jeffrey Taege. He’s an assistant principal at Butler Middle School in @waukeshaschools. He thinks parents shouldn’t have a say in their kids’ education and the community and not the parent is responsible for children’s education,” Libs of TikTok wrote. (The Advocate)  Assistant Principal Taege, among other attributes in his life, happens to be a Gay man and a Proud Gay man. 

 

This very sinister post originated by an individual named Chaya Raichik, who, like other insecure, deranged, dangerous, self-delusional Americans, has become a ring leader, understanding that it does not require morals or values to claim the higher ground, RATHER, all that IS required is to understand which kind of Bigoted, and Hateful Snake Oil the self-loathing peasants blame as the fault of others for their own unfortunate life.

 

Theoretical Underpinnings of Dehumanization. Dehumanization is the perspective that certain people should be denied uniquely human rights and specific out-groups are therefore denied the privileges, activities, or agency that are ordinarily ascribed to in-groups. National Socialism regarded itself as a political revolution hatch and realized a new image of the human. This claim was accompanied by a massive ideological dehumanization of other groups of people. (Google Scholar)

 

National Socialism is the origin of the Nazi Movement. World War II may have ended, but National Socialism as in Fascism, remained, as did the radiation from the atomic bomb. I do not know Chaya Ra personally, but I have read about her rise to fame, or is it shame, as a person who proudly prefers to denigrate groups of people. Chaya is just one more TRUMP, DeSatan, Margie-Putin-Greene, Mr. Ginnie Thomas, Ben Shapiro, Gym Jordan, who, in my opinion, understand the hate and fears of people, hoping that all the while shouting, “LOOK OVER THERE,” no one looks closely at them.

 

Oh Yeah and PROFITS

 AND, OH, BY THE WAY, REALLY… 

Profits over patients: For-profit nursing home chains are draining resources from care while shifting huge sums to owners’ pockets. (The Conversation)

In the ‘Armpit of the Universe,’ a Window Into the Persistent Inequities of Environmental Policy. (Inside Climate News)

Over 1 in 5 Americans are counting on friends and family to support them financially when they retire, survey says. Here’s why that’s a problem. (Moneywise)

United Airlines CEO tells customers string of incidents 'have sharpened our focus' (USA Today)

 

So, Mom and Dad, as in OUR Mom and Dad, Aunts, and Uncles, are growing old, old and ill, old and ill enough that sometimes caring for them becomes difficult. We love them, as we should, and oftentimes must rely on others to maintain some quality in their lives. We sadly become conned, especially when our emotions have receded into frustration, that  Nursing Homes may help us. We forget that those who own and operate such facilities prefer profits over people.

 

Science fiction novels and films have explained to us, more often than not, that death and dying are just for the poor. The authors and writers warn us that having money makes those wealthy folks think that they are or will be immune from the rest of the peons and peasants.  Poor people and middle-class people somehow must pay for the consequences of the wealthy!

 

Growing old, yep, it is; it is what we want and wish for,  but there is the fine print we don’t read about. If you grow old, you MUST grow old with finances plenty. Once again it com, it comes down to profits and having lots of money to actually work and thrive.

 

NOW, after even one too many incidents where murder and mayhem might have ended a few lives, the United CEO pretends to suddenly become aware of safety issues. Imagine if the United CEO actually gave a real shit, and used the invented luggage fees, or the preferred seating fees, or the seat first fees, to actually pay for better maintenance on his airlines. Imagine if the profits from those so-called services went into the maintenance of his airlines rather than his salary and the stockholder's pockets!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reacting again

 "Now if I don't get elected, it's gonna be a bloodbath for the whole -- that's gonna be the least of it. It's going to be a bloodbath for the country, that will be the least of it," he warned. Later, he went as far as ominously implying that voting as we know it won't exist if he loses: "I don't think you're going to have another election in this country if we don't win this election," he said. Donald Trump. (RollingStone)

No longer pretending, no longer filled with innuendo, no longer denying his intentions, TRUMP is invigorated, energized by the ease by which he has become a wanna-be dictator, a wanna-be king, and a wanna-be enemy of the state. He projects his every intended action and purpose. He is applauded by those whose own insecurities outweigh their securities, by the very wealthy whose greed has replaced responsibility to democracy, and by those whose own grifting priority is greed over good for anyone else but them.

 

Imagine almost anyone else in this nation who THREATENS the fabric of our democracy and justice in such precise and blatant terms, and imagine how the FBI or CIA would have brought them to some dark sight for interrogation. We can imagine, but none of that seems to matter as long as any crimes promised crimes against the fabric of this nation originate from TRUMP.

 

By now, those of us who watch or read horror stories have learned a few things that, when committed, seem so stupid and so obvious that we KNOW whenever a character participates in those activities, they will either be chopped in half by the psychopath, they will be abducted by the monster, or they, of course, will be the first to die. As we watch or read those stories, we hiss or boo or make that squiggly face using our “you idiot” eyes, understanding that there are better ways than that to live another day.

 

AND YET, here we are facing the CREATURE head-on, and too few are doing much to avoid a terrible foreseeable future. We should know which way to act, but as is too often the case, all we will end up doing is REACTING!

The Name Game

 The Name Game, for Saturday.

Come on everybody

I say now let's play a game

I betcha I can make a rhyme

Out of anybody's name

The first letter of the name

I treat it like it wasn't there

But a "B" or an "F"

Or an "M" will appear

And then I say "Bo" add a "B" then I say the name

Then "Bo-na-na fanna" and "fo"                                                                                                                              

And then I say the name again with an ""f" very plain

Then "fee fi" and a "mo"

And then I say the name again with an "M" this time

And there isn't any name that I can't rhyme. ("The Name Game" is a song co-written and performed by Shirley Ellis as a rhyming game that creates variations on a person's name./” The Name Game” written in 1964/Ellis/Chase)

 

The name game in 2024, some 60 years later, and somehow, all I can rhyme some names with end in the words, Fascist, Hypocrite, Dictator, Fool, Idiot, Shyster, Traitor, Selfish, Cultist, Bigot, Bogus.

 

Try, as you may, playing the name game with this list of names… TRUMP, RFK Jr, Aaron Rodgers, Margie-Putin-Greene, BOEBERT, Slick-Sick Mitch, Jared, Mr. Ginni Thomas, Ms. Lindsey, DeSatin…just as starters…add any names necessary, and of course any rhyme that goes along with those names!

 

Saying a Name

 Margie-Putin-Greene wore a shirt with the phrase "say her name" and a pin with the photo of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student killed by a person federal authorities said entered the country without authorization, during  President Biden’s “State of the Union,” address.

Never one to shy away from acting the part of a Mean Girl, a Howling Monkey, or a Jack Ass, and always requiring attention for acting like a spoiled brat, Margie-Putin-Greene lacking any and all capabilities of INTROSPECTION, and for that matter, as I see it, SELF-RESPECT, received the attention for being the ass-wipe she so desires to be. Say her name, interesting, isn’t it however, Margie-Putin-Greene is such a Patriotic, caring, and concerned individual as she self-promotes herself to be, and oh so touched by acts of violence…how come Margie-Putin-Greene has never ONCE said even one of the names of the approximately 1769* deaths from mass shootings and the approximately 4223* victims of mass shootings in the United States. (* Rockefeller Institute for Government)

 

As is usually the case for Republicans, it is a game of ‘PICK AND CHOOSE,’ and this IS ONE category that Margie-Putin-Greene excels in doing. Hey Dems in Congress, next time Hypocrites like Margie-Putin-Greene wanna have you say a name, ask her and her cohorts to say at least one name of an innocent person affected by the Republican willful negligence to permit murder and mayhem via gun violence.

 

 

 

American Headlines 2024

 AMERICAN HEADLINES, in the year 2024. Crazy people pretending to be parents, permitting their kids to acquire diseases that were almost eradicated when those same crazy parents were children themselves. Insecure hypocrites insist that Liberty and Freedoms, such as speech and what is read, belong to themselves, insisting that somehow IF THEY AND ONLY THEY PROHIBIT FAIR AND EQUAL FOR OTHERS, it translates into freedom for everyone. 

The U.S. has now tallied at least 59 confirmed or suspected measles cases investigated so far this year by authorities in 17 states — more than the number of cases reported nationwide in all of 2023. It comes as health officials are grappling with multiple major outbreaks of the highly contagious virus around the world. (CBS News)

 

Supreme Court declines to lift ban on Texas college campus drag show. The LGBTQ group says its members’ free speech rights under the Constitution's First Amendment were violated, pointing to a university policy that bars administrators from denying access to facilities based on the political, religious or ideological views. (NBC News)

 

Moms for Liberty to advise librarians on book removals in Florida. Moms for Liberty members made up three of six members of a Department of Education workgroup that met Thursday in Tallahassee to redevelop an online training program for school librarians and media specialists following a 2023 state law focused on book challenges. (USA Today)

 

BUT SOMEHOW, in GEORGIA, it is the folks who are trying to keep Democracy alive and well and to help it continue to flourish who have become the lawbreakers, NOT TRUMP, the guy who tried his best to commit election fraud. 

Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor in the Fulton County election interference case against Former President Trump and his co-defendants, has resigned as special prosecutor following a ruling by the judge overseeing the case. (ABC News)

 

How when, and where will our Democracy THRIVE. Each day, we are drawing closer to embracing a Fascist and Fascism. And so far, it seems, at least to me, Democracy is hanging on by a thread.  We ALL must fight the good fight, and we ALL must win!

 

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE

 LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE

 

Vince McMahon Wrestling icon Vince McMahon resigned Friday from WWE's parent company the day after a former employee filed a federal lawsuit accusing him and another former executive of serious sexual misconduct, including offering her to a star wrestler for sex. (AP) Yep that guy, the guy who invited TRUMP to pretend TRUMP had an ounce of machismo in his body, and “rassle”. Yep that guy who donated a whole bunch of dollars to the TRUMP campaign. And yep that guy whose wife, was selected by TRUMP to become his Administrator of the Small Business Administration. Vince McMahon has seemingly emulated all of the VERY gross and negative qualities regarding by TRUMP as important, and unlike TRUMP Vince at least built a large empire with his own abilities. One of the mega results of pure greed and gory, has been something called the Royal Rumble. Often times the same people who are paying for TRUMPS legal bills are the same folks who will shell out cash to assume that the Wrestlers are actually Gladiators and not actors with scripts.

 

But, I digress, this Blog, is about the newest form of “The ROYAL RUMBLE,” that of becoming TRUMPS running mate. And if you watch closely the same cadre of clowns are doing their best jobs at acting, similar to the Wrestlers of WWE. And as bizarre a bunch of characters  in the ring of the WWE seem to be these GOP ghouls can give the WWE folk a run for the money.

 

Katie Brigg, (I Lie, I Know, Too Bad) /Christi  Noam, (God-Fearing” Family Woman, and Corey Lewandowski, Trump Creep, Reportedly Had “Yearslong” Affair) /Margie-Putin-Greene (officially divorced after cheating allegations)/ Greg Abbott,( The razor wire is a symbol of the hate-filled and inhumane policies)/Tim Scott, ('It was humiliating to watch,' civil rights leader tells MSNBC after senator appeared with ex-president)/ Tulsi Gabbard,( says Florida ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law should have gone further) These self-serving Fascist ass licking, give a middle finger to Democracy, Moral Hypocrites are some of the list of PERFOMERS to engage the stage of TRUMPS ROYAL RUMBLE. I wonder just how many ‘head buts’, ‘bear hugs,’ ‘stacked tables’, ‘metal chairs’ and ‘choke holds’ will take place before the King or Queen of the Ring is announced!

Tikky Tok, Guess who is next

 Steve Mnuchin  interested in purchasing Tik Tok. Interesting isn’t it how Congress has decided that SOME foreign nations are more of a threat to American youth than others. Saudi Arabia purchases Jared Kushner and Putin purchases  Donald Trump, and as a special extra bonus, Putin gets the Republican Party. But on must wonder, and am one of those ONE’S, how come the Republican Congress is never too worried about Domestic terrorists. Remember Steve Mnuchin, Trump’s selection for Secretary of Treasury, the guy who never once has lamented his poor choice in remaining loyal to Trump, and the guy who took his wife to see an eclipse on the tax payer dollar. (Yeah I know he reportedly said he would pay the tax payer back, but did he, and did he in full?) Well STEVIE now seems very interested, very interested in owning Tik Tok. For me, STEVIE is a dangerous sly and manipulative man, once praising tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, once acting the clown for any grifting regarding tax rules and regulations for Trump…seems our American youth might have a lot more to fear, when one more MAGA takes ownership of another Social Media Outlet…I mean look at the “I AM YOUR LORD AND MASTER, narcissist MUSK, and his obedience to Putin and to Trump, and for me seemingly disobedience towards American Democracy!

 

 

Friends like Ted

Friends like Ted!

 

Just saying the name Raphael Ted Cruz, causes my GIRD to burn, my anxiety to ramp up and nausea to become a tsunami. Raphael could give a shit as to how I or for that most anyone else who is not TRUMP truly cares about his SELF-IMPOSED DOUCHBAGGERY, but like it not, Teddy, anything you touch, or sponsor, to seem to be in favor of is riddled with rank, rot and ruin. I am certain if democracy was real in the states of Texas, you would not be a Senator, but lucky for you Texas is a high functioning Banana Republic, so where else could someone as slimy as you be elected to represent them. (well the state of Alabama has your state beat)

 

Which brings me to the purpose of this blog. It seems you have befriended Katie (Stepford Wife) Britt. On your Podcast you welcomed Katie (I Like To Lie And Never Apologize Britt, insuring her that her buffoonery was above board, from the heart, and somehow truthful. Why you even gave Scarlett Johansson a thumbs up for being quite the babe, saying that only the ugly cast members of SNL play you. (Umm, Teddy, as an aside, will you still consider Scarlett a babe is TRUMP decides she is not…I am asking for your wife Heidi’s sake.)

 

Raphael, somehow, YOU consoling Katie (Anything To Be Your Running Mate Mein Herr) Britt is like adding salt to a wound. You are disliked, loathed, hated by so many people, that somehow, YOU by Katie’s, God Bless, My God Not Your God America, Brigg, side  could be even worse than the entire Katie Brigg, fiasco. I might add, have you no shame, but Raphael Teddy Cruz, you are full of shame! 

Dear Katie!

 Dear Katie, 

You seemed so good ole’ boy, oops I mean good ole’ girl  ( I am not hinting you are transgendered), while performing on TV, I imagine there is no need for formality, so Katie it will be for me. 

 

I could tell by the gold cross around your neck, that you practice a form of Christianity, good for you. If people believe in religion to keep their lives on an even keel, I applaud that. But Katie I am curious as to what lessons you have learned from practicing your religion. Do your practices permit you to lie; lying as in retelling a story about a rapist who had been an immigrant, whose heinous actions took place, you blatantly claimed, (as you looked directly into the camera using your “oh my God,” voice) CLAIMED without missing a beat, that it took place, during President Joe Biden’s administration. Maybe your Republican Talking Heads script writers, lied to you regarding all of the facts, because maybe they are not true Christians or thought of you as a useful tool, so I will overlook that error. (Ain’t it nice Katie to be an important person, and so able to blame omissions of truth on those unprofessional staff!)

 

Because you are a Mom, sitting in the kitchen, a place where Mom’s seem to belong, according to the Republican Party, and I must guess had so many words of anger, fear, and distress to recite, you may have just been too overwrought to check any or all facts. But Katie, since the time you oh so proudly looked into the camera and lied to America, the truth, as in the FACTS, as in HOW IT HAPPENED, has been discovered, and Katie, (as I write this I am trying to emulate your “shock and awe,” expression), you like the millions of other Americans have found out that you LIED.

 

Once again, Katie, I am proud that you are proud to be a Mom, and on top of that a Christian who is a Mom, but I must beg my original question, of “Katie, Do your practices permit you to lie, and when your lie is found out to be A LIE, do your religious beliefs NOT permit you to apologize for LYING? 

 

Katie, you were bold, so self-righteous, so, loud, so cunning when you lied, do you think you can muster up the same courage and admit to America that you were wrong?

 

Sincerely

 

Gerry

A kind of Frankenstein

 Prices ticked higher in February, but there’s good news at the grocery store. Higher prices at the gas pump pushed up inflation more than expected in February, according to the latest Consumer Price Index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (CNN)

 

So, once again a story regarding Cool Whip. Cool Whip is a favorite of my husband, Joe, so as a most wonderful spouse whenever I am shopping for groceries, at our ONLY local supermarket , Shop and Save. (interesting name since unless you desire to drive 26.7 miles, you must shop, and somehow since there is no other supermarket, the savings is only in your gas). 

 

Last week Cool Whip was selling for $3.49, lo and behold this week, Cool Whip was now selling for Two for $4.00. Believe it or not this BLOG AIN’T so much about the jacked-up prices, but more about the Bullshit Concept called inflation, a term I truly believe invented and installed by the very wealthy who desire to remain ultra-wealthy pretending that by blaming some amorphous OTHER WORLDLY THING, called inflation, on the invented prices of goods, the average person will bitch and moan and blame anyone but them!

 

Weymouth MA is about 102.6 miles from Provincetown MA. Weymouth compared to Provincetown is big city. In Provincetown, Cumberland Farms is one of two gasoline stations, the price of Regular at the Provincetown Cumberland Farms Gas Station is $3.49 a gallon. As Joe and I drove to Weymouth last week, we had to drive through the Cape, passing about a dozen towns, and as we traveled on Route 6 heading west, we also passed about half a dozen gas stations, with the majority of them belonging to Cumberland Farms. And guess what…yeppers, the further west we travelled taking us closer to the mainland part of Massachusetts, the price of Regular Gasoline, suddenly lowered and lowered. Mid Cape it was $3.39, at the end of the Cape, it magically became $3.29, and wham bam thank you ma’am when we arrived in Weymouth, Cumberland Farms Regular gasoline was $3.19 a gallon. 

 

So, let me understand this crazy thing called INFLATION. It is neither a person, nor a place, but a thing. I am beginning to believe it is more of a monster, created by a whole of people who want to be like Dr. Frankenstein, live their lives in a castle, and ignore the villagers. INFLATION is ploy, a plot,  plan to keep most people poor and make a select few rich. And from where I live, INFLATION, is a whole lot about, location, location, location.

they can be PARENTS?

 More parents are delaying their kids’ vaccines, and it’s alarming pediatricians. More parents are choosing to delay childhood vaccinations, such as the MMR vaccine. Doctors worry toddlers remain vulnerable as measles spreads. (Los Angeles Times)

More parents are choosing to delay childhood vaccinations, such as the MMR vaccine. Doctors worry toddlers remain vulnerable as measles spreads. (Los Angeles Times)

 

HOLY SHIT…THE MAGA stupid is invasive and destructive, and instead of the walking dead disease, it creates the STUPID AS SHIT! 

If all of the current crop of parents, those who have decided to delay vaccinations for their children, or worse decide against vaccinating their children,  if they had any iota of reality drifting around their seemingly very vapid brains, they might understand that HAD THEY NOT RECEIVED VACCINES AT A YOUNG AGE, by now they would probably not lived to even marry and have kids, and if they had survived might not be able to have kids!

 

Are these new batch of idiots so selfish, as to ignore the same medical advice that provided them with the ability to thrive, live, and survive, BUT to suddenly forget their successful past, only to insist on a very unfortunate future for their own children?

 

"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that originated from Darwinian evolutionary theory as a way of describing the mechanism of natural selection. The biological concept of fitness is defined as reproductive success. Perhaps Darwin’s’ theory of survival is actually playing out within the households of the mental MAGA midgets who prefer bogus and bull shit to be smart and intelligent. Pray for the newest generation of kids!

 ALA-BAMMY BOUND

Asked if he had concerns with the setting of Britt’s speech ― she delivered it in her home kitchen in Alabama, which some on the left and right found in poor taste ― Tuberville said he didn’t, because “she was picked as a housewife, not just a senator.” (HUFFPOST)

Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt, both Senators from ALA-BAMMY, perhaps they should be called a DOUBLE-WHAMMY.

 

DOCTOR DEATH

Public health advocates are watching in growing alarm as former President Trump increasingly embraces the anti-vaccine movement. “I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate,” Trump said in a recent campaign rally in Richmond, Va. (The Hill)

But, this sociopath, is still the delight of the faux Christians in Amerika, because he now insists that Gay is bad, Trans is worse, and zygotes are human beings. But like so many Evangelical Christian Nationalists, the best-practiced religion is HYPOCRICY. Be it incest rape or stranger rape, make certain that sperm and egg are released from the womb, BUT, once released give actually “ZERO FUCKS,” regarding the quality of life!

 

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER

Last week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas shocked the legal community when the news broke that one of his new law clerks will be Crystal Clanton—who became notorious in 2015 for apparently sending texts that said, “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like, fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.” For most young lawyers, sending such a text would indeed have been the “end of story.” Instead, Clanton is on the cusp of clinching one of the most coveted prizes in the American legal system. In the past several years, as Clanton has risen through the ranks of conservative legal circles, the story of her alleged racist outburst has been curiously transformed into a tale of victimhood. The new narrative is that Clanton was somehow framed by an unnamed enemy who—for motives that remain unclear—fabricated the racist texts to defame her. (Daily Beast)

Once more Clarence (I can be purchased) Thomas is at it again. So his newest clerk once said she hated blacks, (and if you look closely at Clarence's rulings, so does he) is now going to become his top clerk. Why, well that is easy. Crystal Clanton is an avowed Right Wing-Nut and supported by very wealthy Right Wing-Nuts, who own and operate Clarence Thomas. And of course, these same Right Wing-Nuts are lying their asses off denying any truths, replacing them instead with fiction.

 

 

THE PROJECTIONIST

 THE PROJECTIONIST! 

The former president began posting manically on social media that his adversary, who he has previously labeled “sleepy” and also the mastermind of a plot to control the Ukrainian justice system for the benefit of his son, was on some kind of drug combination.

Around 10 p.m. eastern, Trump used his social media platform to declare, in reference to the man who defeated him in 2020, “THE DRUGS ARE WEARING OFF!” (MSNBC)

 

If anything and most ANYTHING includes lying, grifting, lying, misogyny, lying, racism, lying, bigotry, and lying… The one thing TRUMP can NEVER control is to let the world know exactly the kinds of treachery, treason, and chicanery he has and is and will be up to. TRUMP is a disillusioned narcissist, a guy who is so insecure that he might be perceived as nothing, that he must uncontrollably BRAG OUT LOUD, regarding any and all crimes and self-deprivation he is guilty of.

 

TRUMPS’s newest PROJECTION is a doozy. TRUMP has declared right after Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address that “sleepy Joe,” was not sleepy because of all things “sleepy Joe,” was using performance-enhancing drugs! Now this PROJECTION ain’t new for TRUMP, he also accused Hilary of doing the same thing during their debate. WTF, TRUMP,  Performance Enhancing Drugs, as in the same cadre and cacophony of injectables you have used, still use, and must continue to use.

 

TRUMP has always PROJECTED his own behavior onto others…ALWAYS!

 

 

 

"KATIE'S KITCHEN,"

 Welcome to “KATIE’S KITCHEN,” a Republican-produced and scripted reality show or was it another usual Republican “shit show?”

It is a showcase of how women should be viewed, how they should pretend to actually have emotions, and how they are only great by being white moms, with binary children, keeping the house clean, not living in poverty, and ALWAYS identifying “THE OTHER,” as BOOGYMAN! 

 

“KATIE’S KITCHEN,” starring the supposed rising star of the TRUMP/FASCIST/GOP PARTY, Senator Katie Britt, from one of the most backward states regarding Women’s Rights/Health Care/Education and Voting Rights and of course those nasty LGBTQ’s. “KATIES KITCHEN,” sponsored by a Republican, Alabama Governor, a Christian Nationalistic Supreme Court using their preferred Bible as the Constitution, and a State Legislature, trying to keep gerrymandering ONLY WHITE DISTRICTS. (I suppose if they can’t have “WHITE’S ONLY WATER FOUNTAINS”, or “WHITE’S ONLY RESTROOMS,” then the only way they can defend their bigotry and bias and racism is to have “WHITE’S ONLY VOTING DISTRICTS”!

 

“KATIE’S KITCHEN is the newest iteration of Republican Talking Heads' own version of the Twilight Zone, a place where your most frightening nightmares are not monsters under your bed, but Politicians in your bedroom. A place where your Kitchen Table can only seat Evangelical Christians, and a place where Misogyny/Homophobia/Xenophobia are mandatory requirements to be a true Patriot of the Confederacy. It is a place where the intended goal is for “THE SOUTH TO RISE AGAIN!

 

Now “KATIE KITCHEN,” is the latest iteration of “LITTLE MARCO SPILLING WATER ALL OVER HIMSELF,” and HUCKABEE’S LIES, MORE LIES, AND GREATEST LIES,” all from Republican responses to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union. “KATIE’S KITCHEN”, was filmed in color, but believe it was ALL WHITE!

YEAH, MARGIE

 Wearing her, “I am the stupid, they are with,” T-shirt decked out in the Fascist colors of MAGA Red, swearing her allegiance to an accused Rapist, MARGIE-PUTIN-GREENE, managed once again to be the Cheerleading Clown, for one of the most vile creatures spawned, TRUMP! Surrounded by her cadre of Flying Monkeys, minus backbones, balls, guts, and spines, more fearful that their treasonous leader might delete them from his most favored fools list, they too wore T-shirts explaining that they, INDEED were with stupid, MARGIE-PUTIN-GREENE.

A shit show is exactly what MARGIE loves to present to the world. Demonstrating just how classless, clueless, and constipated she always seems to be, MARGIE pretends to actually care about anyone but herself. She is the freak show of the circus, she is the turd falling from the animals in the circus, she is the trash and litter lying on the floor when the circus is over. BUT then again she is enamored with TRUMP, and to do so is just admitting that morals, values, standards, and conscience are of no importance.

 

YEAH, MARGIE, you got our attention. YEAH, MARGIE, we watched as you played the fool, and YEAH MARGIE, you did not let us down acting as the most pathetic peon in America!

Here's To You, Mr. Robinson

 Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate for North Carolina's gubernatorial election, said he wanted to go back to a time "where women couldn't vote" in a video that resurfaced in the wake of his Super Tuesday victory. (RollingStone) 

Mark Robinson is an African American, or as genera rations since the Revolutionary, Civil War, and The South Will Rise Again, White Nationalists have insisted, Mark Robinson is a Negro, as in once upon a time he was considered property, and even when he was not legally permitted to be White People’s Property he was still considered less human, as a Black Man. 

 

In 1964, Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241). The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex, as well as race in hiring, promoting, and firing. Mr. Robinson as a Republican must have mixed feelings regarding how and when the Federal Government intervenes, but for Mr. Robinson’s current political position, he should be very thankful that the Federal Government is not as bigoted as he is.

 

In the clip, he says that he heard a man ask about the phrase "Make America Great Again," which he posited implied the America where "women couldn't vote" and "Black people were swinging from cheap trees."

"I would say to him, if I was standing in front of him, 'I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn't vote,'" Robinson said.

He continued, explaining his reasoning: "Do you know why? Because in those days, we had people who fought for real social change, and they were called Republican." (RollingStone)

 

As pathetic a piece of shit as Mark Robinson is, the more pathetic, and greater sacks of shit are the voters in North Carolina who voted for him to be the Republican nominee for Governor.

 

OH YEAH, as if he could not be any slimier, or gross, North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson revels in making offensive remarks – with a history that includes comparing abortion to slavery, quoting Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and referring to LGBT+ people as “filth”. 

no surprise...just sadness

 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) endorsed Donald Trump for president on Wednesday after years of acrimony between them, cementing Trump’s continued hold on the Republican Party. (Washington Post) 

I FOR ONE AM NOT SURPRISED. I FOR ONE EXPECTED NOTHING LESS FROM A THUG WHO HAS PLACED HIS OWN PERSONAL CAREER WAY AHEAD OF ANYONE ELSE IN THIS NATION. I AM HOWEVER SADDENED, THAT ONE MORE REPUBLICAN HAS DECIDED THAT DEMOCRACY SHOULD DIE.

 

Whatever bull shit, bull shit, bull shit, and snake oil Mitch regurgitates is meaningless because Mitch has proven himself to be nothing more than a Cancerous Tumor regarding the US Government. He has become a multi-millionaire placing the wishes and wants of his Billionaire Puppet Masters above the rule of law and above any and all decency, morals, or values. 

 

How does an incumbent who has built his own fiefdom be removed from office, sadly it will take his own self-serving ambition to have faded or the fact that his life has ended. A perfect poster boy for TERM-LIMITS, Mitch provides anyone truly interested in the survival of Democracy, of how too much power by selfish men and women can cause continuous waves of destruction for the rest of us.

 

TRUMP has spit upon Mitch, has spit upon Mitch’s wife, Trump has proudly boasted that he will become a Dictator, and Mitch, only thinking about his own destiny seemingly has agreed that America needs a Dictator. 

 

ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF SELF-RESPECT, A YEARNING FOR FREEDOM TO SURVIVE, A CONSCIENCE SHOULD BE ANGRY…NOT SURPRISED, BUT ANGRY. It does take a village of Republicans to maintain a monster like TRUMP.

Once again, DOUBLE STANDARDS

 Once again the DOUBLE STANDARD rears its very ugly and very ANTI-DEMOCRATIC HEAD, visa-vie the Courts within the United States. There is a very discerning and for me disgusting scenario playing out, in which Justices, not elected, but nominated for a lifetime tenure, play politics first, placing their own perceptions as puppets for the people who paved their way as a priority.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said states cannot bar former President Donald Trump from the ballot using a rarely invoked provision of the 14th Amendment, overturning a decision from Colorado's top court "Responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the states," the court said in its 13-page unsigned opinion. "The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand." (CBS News)

 

Once again the Republican-appointed Justices, ignoring the Constitution, preferring a Christian Nationalistic Bible or a Band of Religious zealots as the authority on the law of the land, have decided to once again UNDO the entire system of checks and balances in which this nation HAD once prided itself.

 

‘We don’t have a king here’: Raskin slams SCOTUS decision to take up Trump immunity claim. “This was an obvious case not to take up,” Rep. Jamie Raskin. (POLITICO)

 

Amazing, isn’t it, how once again DOUBLE STANDRDS become the norm, whenever the Courts come into play, and play a shrewd game of “only we should pick and choose!” States cannot abide by the Constitution if they desire to abide by the 14^th Amendment, because as the Supremes’ say not one state should alter the results of a Presidential election…YET, somehow, States can alter the outcome of an election by overriding the popular vote, due to the Constitution’s provision of the Electoral College. And now, if the Activist Republican Dominated Supreme Court decides in favor of a state, the entirety of Immigration will become a state’s right.

 

Appeals court reverses order blocking Texas immigration law, setting up Supreme Court showdown If the U.S. Supreme Court doesn’t intervene in the coming days, the law making illegal entry a state crime could go into effect this weekend. (The Texas Tribune) The electoral college is the body that elects the president of the United States; rather than voting directly for the president, populations vote for an elector to then cast their ballot in their political favor. (Electoral College.com)

 

Fucking DOUBLE STANDARDS!

 

 

 

 

 

shame, shame, shame

 Ukraine’s troops are rationing ammunition. Yet House Republicans plan to take weeks to mull more aid

Congressional leaders are warning that shortages of ammunition and supplies are resulting in Ukraine losing ground in the war with Russia. (Los Angeles Times)

 

Mike Johnson, fourth or fifth round Speaker of the House, fuck you and fuck all of your Trumpian Turds who act as hypocrites, pretending that Democracy is valued, all the while enabling TRUMP and his Boss Man Putin, to eradicate Democracy not only abroad but here at home.

 

Mike Johnson, you are a whiney, weasel, a spinless Trump sycophant, a con man selling the sinister snake oil, of TRUMP, who is NOT and NEVER will be a PATRIOT, a decent and moral man of religion, a man of the people. You are not brave Mike Johnson, you are not bold Mike Johnson, you are not sincere Mike Johnson, and above all, you are a sham, a shameful heathen, who may speak in Christin tomes, but who is a heartless heretic.

 

For any and all true Christian Americans who prefer bull shit rather than compassion, concern, and care, Mike Johnson IS your false idol…so shame, shame, shame on you!
