"The Exorcist"

 The most frightening scene, for me, in the film version of The “Exorcist” was the time when the director, William Friedkin, led us slowly, deliberately toward Regan MacNeil’s bedroom. We all knew something was about to happen, and I still hear the gasps, the squeals, and the watchouts being muttered from the theater audience. I knew something was about to happen. My anxiety filled my body, and thinking if I closed one eye entirely while keeping the other halfway looking, it might make whatever was to come next a bit more tolerable. I presumed that there was going to be some kind of horrific creature waiting, lurking, creeping inside Regan’s bedroom, and the walk down that hallway seemed an eternity.

 

My friend, sitting next to me, with one hand over his eye and his other almost turning blue from grabbing the armrest, was able to whisper (I do believe with less enthusiasm than he wanted to project) what if all this is, is William Friedkin, showing us that we imagine the worst, fearing what might happen, and behind the bedroom door, is just Regan sleeping.

 

I watched “The Exorcist” in 1973, and some 51 years later, whenever I even think about the movie, I still feel the knot of gnawing angst, and the nauseating grip of anxiety fill my gut.

 

It is 2024, only 6 days until an American election, which seems spooky, haunted, nightmarish, and doomed for me as I watched the long and tedious walk down the hallway within the MacNeil house. In the movie “The Exorcist,” it took Chris MacNeil perhaps only a few excruciating minutes to reach her daughter’s bedroom and see what was actually waiting for her behind that door. This TRUMP/VANCE horror flick began for me when, on November 15, 2022, Trump announced his campaign for President. It is still a long walk down that hallway, and I want to stop fearing that behind the election door for America is nothing like the Demon in “The Exorcist”!

What Do You Call

 Speaking at a rally on Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson likened Donald Trump to “daddy” and described him coming home angrily to give a “bad little girl” a “vigorous spanking.”

Carlson delivered the disturbing speech at a Turning Point Action rally in Duluth, Georgia, alongside his fellow MAGA acolytes Charlie Kirk, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and others, as well as Donald Trump himself. (New Republic)

 

What would one call a supposed HETEROSEXUAL Male who seemingly adores and seems to have a “boner” for another male, who he loves to call “DADDY?” What might we call a whole bunch of HETEROSEXUAL males who seem to “get hard” for another male, hoping that as long as their male idol keeps on talking trash about women to keep these males really certain of their own masculinity?             

 

Is a BRO, actually a wanna-be DUDE, who can only be a BRO, as long as other DUDES around him, continue to talk shit regarding females? Does degrading women actually help a male produce more testosterone?

 

And is there a name for HETEROSEXUAL women who love hearing that DADDY coming home to give them a “VIGOROUS SPANKING?” And is there a name or a term for HETEROSEXUAL women who love being called a “bad little girl?”

 

 

OTHERING

 Othering is a phenomenon in which some individuals or groups are defined and labeled as not fitting in within the norms of a social group. It is an effect that influences how people perceive and treat those who are viewed as being part of the in-group versus those who are seen as being part of the out-group. (VERYWELL mind)

 

Othering is on top of the Trump political platform and seems to be the potion from which the cascade of “Brown Shirts,” Fascist leaning, Authoritarian loving anti-American loyalists to Trump, drink, bathe and inhale. One must, he or she, themselves first be insecure, afraid, and scared to death to be found a fraud to inhale Othering and drink it until becoming drunk.

 

On an individual level, othering plays a role in the formation of prejudices against people and groups. On a larger scale, it can also play a role in the dehumanization of entire groups of people which can then be exploited to drive changes in institutions, governments, and societies. (VERYWELL mind)

 

Wealthy Jews, wealthy Gays supporting this man who prefers Nazi’s, love homophobes, thinking that it must be the other Jews, the other Gays for which he loathes. People of color, pretending that the Puerto Ricans or the Haitians, who he calls garbage or who eat animals, are surely not the same. The Cuban Americans who think voting Republican, or having wealth makes their skin not the same color. Women, who somehow believe that it is “bad girls,” who asked to be raped, or whose brothers and fathers’ lust after. And the American Muslim population pretending that Trump’s Muslim ban was meant for the nasty Muslims not them.

 

IT IS ALWAYS THE OTHERS WHO ARE THE BAD GUY, AIN’T IT…until it ISN”T

 

M-E-G-Y-N

 SHEEEEEE’S BACK…damn it…AGAIN! 

Megyn Kelly Savages Trump’s ‘Bro-tastic’ MSG Rally: ‘Do They Have No Women Advising Their Campaign?’ The staunch Trump supporter said his campaign needs to “clean up the bro talk just a little so you don’t alienate women in the middle of America.”

“I am telling you, even for me—and I voted for Donald Trump last week—it was too bro-tastic,” the former Fox News and NBC host said on her Megyn Kelly Show. “You’re trying to win an election in which you’re hemorrhaging female voters. Maybe when you present in front of hundreds—thousands at least in Madison Square Garden, you clean up the bro talk just a little so you don’t alienate women in the middle of America who are already on the fence about Republicans.” (Daily Beast)

 

I swear I try to ignore this newest iteration of Annie Coulter, but Megyn just loves to showcase her love to make a fool of herself so much that at times I must indulge her.

 

She assails Trump for the use of ‘bro-tastic,’ pretending that by calling out his wannabe overt MASCULINITY, that and that alone is a turn-off to women. Of course, Megyn still voted for Trump, so I suppose he didn’t indeed disappoint her.  And if only Trump would stop being such a “BRO,” himself, women could warm up to him and vote for him; of course, forgetting that he is an accused Rapist, bragged about appointing three Justices to help overturn Roe, and has his named affixed at least three dozen times on Project 2025.        

 

M-E-G-Y-N, hun, you make enough money to afford a shrink who can explain to you HYPOCRICY, and if not a shrink, purchase a long and wide mirror, place it near your front door, and look at yourself, and see what a sham you really are!

 

 

musk

Elon Musk Built a Compound for His 11 Children and Their Moms, Keeps Offering “Friends and Acquaintances” His Sperm: Report. (Vanity Fair)

 

Anyone remembers such IMFAMOUS, dudes as----Jim Jones: Ordered hundreds of his followers to kill themselves as a 'revolutionary act'. Marshall Applewhite: Orchestrated a mass suicide in conjunction with a comet. David Koresh: Engaged in a bloody battle with federal law enforcement agents. (Histroy.com) Seems the outcome never quite equated with the lies and self-absorbed, narcissistic persona portrayed!                           

 

As the billionaire {Musk} continues to fret about population collapse, he looks to father more children and consolidate his brood, the New York Times reports. (RollingStone)

 

The wealthiest man on planet Earth, insisting there just ain’t enough babies being born, complaining however that too many the non-Caucasian babies abound. Yet in his plea for you little ladies to permit such HE-MEN as he and his BRO BUDS, to share their sperm, not one word or one promise has been uttered as to how to pay for the health, welfare, education of those babies. It is he and his mucho macho males to impregnate you little lasses, but once the male part of intercourse is over, the rest is up to you gals!

 

musk /mŭsk/

noun

A greasy secretion with a powerful odor, produced in a glandular sac in the abdomen of a male musk deer and used in traditional medicines and formerly in the manufacture of perfumes.

A similar secretion produced by certain other animals, such as an otter or civet.

Oligarch 101

 Dictators need Oligarchs. Oligarchs remain wealthy, catering to Dictators. Wealth remains at the top and never trickles down, EVER! Democracy dies, and the divide between the few and the rest of the citizenry grows broader and more profound.

 

From liberal darling to phone calls with Trump: Mark Zuckerberg’s political transformation

The CEO, chairman, and controlling shareholder of Facebook’s parent company Meta says he wants to be ‘non-partisan’. But that’s not so easy when you’re a monarch in all but name. (The Independent)

 

Jeff Bezos says he didn't know Blue Origin met with Trump as he tries to calm Washington Post storm

Bezos' Blue Origin has a $3.4 billion contract to build spacecraft and is competing with Elon Musk’s SpaceX. (QUARTZ)

 

What would’ve been a dramatic victory for Ukraine had been thwarted by a most unlikely defender. Few knew at the time that that day was a watershed moment in U.S. politics regarding how money and power are leveraged by nongovernment actors. Their communication links with the drones — connected by the Starlink satellite-based internet service — were inoperable. Starlink is owned by Elon Musk.

 

So now, Bezos and Zuckerberg join the ranks of Billionaires, who no longer hide their disdain for free and equal but seem to shout aloud how selfish and self-serving are as American as apple pie! Money is all it takes, a whole lot of it in American politics, to dismantle, destroy own and operate the government. 

 

Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg are Enemies of the State, and all we seem to be able to do is watch them kiss the ring of Trump and grow their wealth and power!

Next!

 She said she had a miscarriage — then got arrested under an abortion law.

From the start, deep moral questions loomed over a local justice system as it struggled to distinguish a miscarriage from an abortion, a fetus from a baby — culminating in a conviction one judge would ultimately characterize as “a total miscarriage of justice.” (HuffPost)

 

Now the Police are suddenly Medical Doctors, playing the same charade as the Republican Politicians, most of whom still have no idea where or how babies come from! To please these wealthy Christian Nationalists Donors (or is the word Owners), who continue to purchase Politicians and Judges across this nation at will, women’s personal lives become public fodder.

 

So let me understand this: all you undecided voters, all of you female Republican voters, all of you male husbands, brothers, and fathers voting Republican, how the fuck do you live with yourselves?

JUST CURIOUS...

 JUST CURIOUS…

Hey Miriam Adelson, I suppose it ain’t no biggie that the Trump Fascists had a field day picking out the Puerto Ricans at Madison Square Garden, I mean, they didn’t go after the Jews, at least last night. And I suppose Miriam Adelson, since you donated and continue to donate millions and millions of your dollars toward the Fascist Trump, you are confident he and they will not begin to pick out the Jews…because Fascists don’t do that sort of thing, or do they?

 

JUST CURIOUS…

Hey Stephen Miller, when you so proudly stood on the stage at the Madison Square Garden reprise of the last American Nazi Fest held in America, proclaiming that “America is for Americans,” I guess you meant that the IMMIGRANTS, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, Melania Trump, were real Americans as if they were born in this nation. I suppose you also meant your maternal side of the family, who sought political asylum when they left Russia and Poland, suggesting that somehow their plight is different than those who also seek political asylum?

 

JUST CURIOUS…

Candace Owens, Timmy Scott, Mark Robinson, and Byron Daniels, I am just wondering if you ignored the remarks during the MAGA Fascist Hitler-esque demonstration at Madison Square Garden when so many men of the selected Fascist White Supremacists complained that the number of non-white babies being born in this country is more significant than white babies. Maybe you thought these Neo-Nazis were just referencing Brown skinned babies, uh-huh!

and once AGAIN

 In the past three weeks, Trump's allies have been dealt at least 10 court losses in battleground states that could decide the outcome of the Nov. 5 contest between Republican former President Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. (Reuters)

 

Battleground States, what the holy fuck!  Your vote or my vote if neither of us lives in a Battle Ground State becomes almost meaningless. It DOESN’T matter if when we vote, we are a part of the majority of Americans who believe that one vote one-person is essential for our democracy. An archaic piece of American history, proven more often than not, in present-day America to be more of a deterrent than helpful in our governance, The Electoral College permits voter fraud to become the norm.

 

Watching the Republicans trying their hardest to eliminate voters in the Battle Ground States is a gross injustice, an insult, a direct attempt, an affront to democracy, yet nothing, NOTHING at all, has been attempted to remedy this anti-American action by our past and the current crop of Politicians.

 

But then again, these are the same group of Enemies of the State who have done nothing to eliminate Dark Money or have ignored Term Limits! And who pays the price for their selfish inaction…”WE THE PEOPLE!”

Being a Billionaire

Elon Musk Gets Reminder From the DOJ That Paying People to Vote Is a Crime Punishable By Up To 5 Years in Prison

He’s given away $4 million to four swing-state voters so far, with plans to continue through Election Day. (Vanity Fair)

 

And add to that the two times Musk has lamented, “Why hasn’t anyone tried to assassinate Kamala…”

 

Where was the FBI? Imagine you or me, or almost anyone who is not a billionaire, discussing out loud why hasn’t anyone tried to assassinate the current Vice President? 

 

A fucking reminder from the DOJ, a fucking reminder that MUSK broke the law, and in doing so, he can go to prison. How many people who have broken the law and keep on breaking the law get a sweet note reminding them that what they did and keep on doing is against the law?  Why the fuck has MUSK not been arrested and placed in prison?

 

Being a Billionaire, a bunch of bogus bull shit, filled with hypocrisy, double standards, and arrogance, all with, so it seems, with the permission of the Federal Government. 

I CANNOT STAND IT

 I have never been polled, NEVER regarding any political race, from the day I became eligible to vote until this day, October 26, 2024, as I write my Blog! I am so over the media, the pollsters, the talking heads, trying to create headlines, trying to insert their editorial BS! In fact, if these groups wish to create their own headlines, why not write about why those who choose, support, and say they will vote for Trump have made it clear that they prefer a candidate who espouses Fascist ideas and loathes democracy?  

                                                                                                                                                                         Polls are tied, voters dig in and Harris, Trump scratch for any advantage

In the final days, the presidential campaign is closer than any in recent history as both sides scramble to turn out their bases. (The Washington Post)

 

And then we STILL have the unbelievable BS regarding our Presidential elections, the archaic and obsolete Electoral College, the complete opposite of the meaning of one person, one vote. The majority vote is supposed to be the ultimate successful experiment regarding Democracy, yet as we vote for the highest office in the nation, it ain’t the majority’s decision that counts.                                        

 

CNN polling guru Harry Enten said he believes a sweep of the main battleground states in the presidential election is “more likely than not,” even as polls show all seven of the big swing states almost even between Vice President Harris and former President Trump.(The Hill)

 

They come out from under the rocks; they are identified as Mavens’, Gurus, compared at times to Prophets, Seers of the Future, and even Nostradamus.  I just CANNOT STAND IT!

 

 

Not for Goodness Sake!

 Donald Trump Suggests He Was Literally Anointed by God

The former president told a group of Christian voters that he was chosen by a “supernatural hand” and implied that his life was “saved” by divine intervention. 

“I would like to think that God saved me for a purpose,” the former president told a gathering of conservative pastors in Concord, North Carolina, saying that his faith had deepened since the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania rally in July. “And that’s to make our country greater than ever before.” (Vanity Fair)

 

Two assassination attempts and “radio silence” almost immediately after each event. No urgent follow-up by the Trump Fascist Campaign…No mass hysteria from the same GOP House members serving as the Trump Gestapo, demanding justice be done, similar to the ranting and ravings of showcasing Hunter Biden’s dick pics! No official medical report on that supposed injury to Trump’s ear…No scar…No complaints by Trump regarding his supposed ear injury!

 

An accused Rapist, an Adulterer, a Fraud, a Felon, and Trump suggests he was “literally Anointed by God… Holy Shit…the Holiest of shit…and where are the Christians who pretend to swear by God knowing right from wrong, good from bad? Where are their voices insisting that it isn’t God Trump worships, but the hand of the Devil!

Charlamagne Tha God

 Charlamagne Tha God Calls Out ‘Bulls**t’ CNN Trump Coverage To Anderson Cooper’s Face. The radio host checked the network on live TV in a fiery exchange with the CNN anchor. (huffpost)

 

 I had no idea, before reading this article, who the hell Charlamagne Tha God was or is, but damn, I now am a fan. 

 

“Nobody’s Had an Honest Conversation About Donald Trump Since 2016”

The podcaster and radio host also excoriated what he saw as the media's double standards and failure to convey the true danger of Trump's rhetoric. (The Hollywood Reporter)

 

It is as if all the news networks decided that Democracy mattered less than ratings, as if truth, honor, and facts never brought in good ratings, preferring hypocrisy, hyperbole, and horseshit! 

 

I remember when Trump lost to Biden, how the “Talking Heads” of the so-called mainstream media professed their amazement at just how naïve they behaved, how fooled they had become…BULLSHIT. 

 

Thank you, Charlamagne Tha God, for letting those pompous and pious pricks know that they are as culpable as anyone else in permitting the lies of TRUMP, the bogus of TRUMP, the sheer madness of Trump to go unchecked!                                

 

 

where are they

 Where the fuck are the Pastors, Ministers, Priests, Bishops, Elders, Cardinals, Bishops, and Clergy within the Christian religion who profess to know the difference between evil and good. The ones who seem to have little difficulty in claiming their Bible and their God are the only ones to count on regarding morals, values, and right from wrong. Why DO THEY remain silent as this despicable group of Christians shouts out that Trump is God, Trump is the Prophet, and Trump is somehow the resurrection of Christ? 

Donald Trump’s “Believers and Ballots Faith Town Hall” in Zebulon, Georgia, on Wednesday was very short on words about believers, ballots or faith. In the closing days of past campaigns, the Republican Party and its Christian right allies made strong appeals to these voters to get out to the polls in huge numbers to save “Christian” America and “biblical” values. (MSNBC)

 

Where are the Clergy of the non-Christian religions demanding that everything Trump says and does is not Godly, is not Good, is not a Godsend? Why are these spiritual leaders NOT shouting out louder than the Christian Evangelical hypocrites, that a bigot, a racist a Fascist is nothing but a golden idol or is it an orange idol?                                                    

 

Trump, in his third presidential run, has dispensed with the GOP’s farcical claim to being the party of religious Americans, relying instead on his status as a messiah figure to mobilize his loyal base of white evangelical voters.

of course...

 Of course. Trump’s cell phone lock screen background image is a picture of himself. Not his wife, not his children, not his grandchildren… himself. (Buzz Feed)

 

Family values God. Christians adore him and adorn him with such phrases as “PROPHET.” He is a populist, they proclaim, actually filling Jesus’s sandals better than Jesus. Pro-Life, these Republican Evangelicals shout out every day. 

 

Let’s dissect this, shall we?

 

He only values himself, using his family for photo ops, opportunities that will only give him some self-perceived advantage. I imagine that the word “PROPHET,” used by his Christian cultists, is just misspelled, and the actual word is “PROFIT!” Pro-Life, not for people with brown skin, women, LGBT, unwealthy Jews. And all those Evangelicals, if honest, would admit that their infatuation with this Orange snake oil salesman is based on THEIR common Racism, Bigotry, Xenophobia, Homophobia, Anti-Semitism, Misogyny, and, of course, hatred for Democracy. 

 

No one of any intelligence, intellect, or introspection should be surprised; this insecure moron has a photo of himself, he is so sad of a person, so pathetic of a personality that for him, every waking minute must be a moment of ME, ME, ME!

And still, YET

 And yet, most to many of the self-serving set of elected Republican politicians refuse to speak out against the lies, preferring either silence or worse, a nod of the head and a wink of the eye to their MAGA-crazed sheep!

Michael Flynn admitted in a court deposition earlier this year that one of the biggest election fraud claims pushed by Donald Trump and his supporters had no evidence to back it up. CNN reports that the QAnon devotee and former Trump national security adviser acknowledged under oath in April that he had seen no credible proof to suggest that an executive at Dominion Voting Systems fixed the 2020 election results using the company’s voting machines. This allegation was repeated and pushed by several far-right supporters of Trump in an attempt to claim the election was stolen. (The New Republic)

 

And yet, this king of the con, once again, has lost on more art of the deal, his lack of the ability to do anything but cheat and lie still resonates with countless low-life MAGA and is so easily ignored by the current crop of self-serving Republican politicians! 

Donald Trump is being mocked as a “fool” and a “sucker” in a new ad by his Republican haters based on the Daily Beast’s revelations of his campaign chief’s massive payday.

The Lincoln Project’s ad highlights how his campaign chief, Chris LaCivita is making make a fortune off the GOP presidential candidate. The attack ad is based on the veteran investigative journalist Michael Isikoff’s discovery that LaCivita made $22 million (and counting) in just two years.

 

And yet, the employees of FOX, owned and operated by one of the worst legal immigrants ever, remain arrogant, aloof, and, of course, self-serving, pretending that they love and adore Trump, but sadly, all they project to anyone who is not a MAGA idiot, how disloyal and anti-American they truly are…all for their own fame and fortune!           

"[Former Defense Secretary Jim] Mattis and Kelly didn't like the president," Kilmeade said, referencing the memoir of H.R. McMaster -- Trump's former national security adviser who also wrote that Putin is manipulating Trump by exploiting his ego. "I can absolutely see [Trump] go, 'It'd be great to have German generals that actually do what we ask them to do, maybe not fully being cognizant of the third rail of German generals who were Nazis or whatever," Kilmeade said. "But he was frustrated with the slow down of commands that were not implemented." (Rolling Stone)

but of course

 And to whose surprise…

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is reportedly being floated as an attorney general pick for Donald Trump if he wins next month’s election. (MSNBC)

 

Of course, she is on the list. I am not currently surprised she is not on his list of who to appoint to the Supreme Court, but alas, this list for the Attorney General should be no shock for anyone alive enough to have read the news or watched the news on television.

 

There will be no “law and order,” no lady justice blindfolded, no fair and equality if Trump is anointed dictator, just more of the same, sham enemies of the state lined up to keep Trump in office. That is until JD Vance and his Heritage Foundation fascists decide that Trump is too senile to serve.

 

Cannon is just a version of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Comey, whose loyalty is a middle finger to democracy and lust and love for Fascism!

pay attention to me

 He not only fell from grace, he actually lands flat-assed and soulless, he is Chris Cuomo, one more has been who wants to be, trying his most evilness to reclaim his 15 minutes of fame but prefers his 15 minutes of shame.                                    

Cuomo, now a host on NewsNation, trended on X, formerly called Twitter, Wednesday morning for his provocative take, which he gave on the latest episode of “The Chris Cuomo Project.” He also exhorted his audience to be open to the opinions of Donald Trump’s supporters, who offer the Republican nominee a “way more intense following.” (HUFFPOST)

 

So much like the has-beens of the GOP politicians who still want to be loved and adored, Cuomo has decided to attach his claws to the vile and venomous villainous Trump. “Look at me, for goodness’ sake, look at me,” I AM relevant, I know I am!” 

 

Poor Chris, once the prince of news in the USA, is now a putz reporting from one of the nation’s most notorious news organizations, Newsmax, known more as the lower rung of FOX, which is known as Putin’s propagandist organization. Chris wants us to love him, to pay attention to him, and for Chris it seems even the bottom of the barrel is not low enough!           

 

 

The GREAT PROJECTIONIST

Former President Donald Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night as a “lunatic" and “stupid” and questioned whether she had a problem with alcohol or drugs — the second time over the course of the day that he made false personal attacks on his Democratic opponent. (NBC News)

 

The GREAT PROJECTIONIST, once again doing his best to boast about his own behavior, pretending to attack someone else, assuming that his lies have nothing to do about his own truths!

 

“She was so bad; she gave an answer, {referring to the 60-minute interview}. This never happened to me,” Trump said. “She gave an answer that was so bad that they changed it. They took it out, threw it out. They didn’t, like, edit a little bit, take a word out.” (NBC News)

 

The GREAT PROJECTIONIST, once again talking about his own actions and behaviors, trying his best to divert his weakness, his lies, his inabilities onto others, unaware that as he accuses others, he, as a narcissist, is just declaring his sad sack life!

 

By now, anyone, and I am not being my typical sarcastic self, ANYONE who has not seen through this moronic, sick, sociopathic behavior must also suffer the same emptiness and self-loathing as Trump!

"If not now, when?"

 As a Jewish American, I write this blog, especially to the billionaire Jewish Donors like Mariam Adelson, Jeffrey and Janine Yass, and Paul Singer, who have spent millions of their dollars in support of TRUMP. I write this blog, especially to the Jewish Americans of AIPAC, who somehow think that Trump is some kind of supporter of Jews in America because he pretends to be a friend of Israel. I write to fellow Jews who seem to ideally overlook Trump’s Neo-Nazi buds, his Oath Keeper friends, and his idolization of Hitler.

 

TRUMP: ‘I NEED THE KIND OF GENERALS THAT HITLER HAD’

The Republican nominee’s preoccupation with dictators, and his disdain for the American military, is deepening. 

In the years since, he has become more and more interested in the advantages of dictatorship, and the absolute control over the military that he believes it would deliver. “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had,” Trump said in a private conversation in the White House, according to two people who heard him say this. “People who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.” (The Atlantic)

 

I am appalled that somehow any American Jew can pretend that the economy or the convenient coziness toward Israel is more important than his proud disdain toward minorities, his lack of respect for women, and his admiration for Dictators who have demonstrated their hatred for fairness and equality.

 

If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?”  (Hillel the Elder)                              

The real enemy

 Russia, Iran, China could stoke post-election violence, US intelligence officials say. (Reuters)

As frightening sounding as this headline reads and as ominous sounding are its warnings, I believe that this headline, which is almost the norm ever since Trump lost the 2020 election, the authors of this article left out some very relevant information.

 

The rest of the headline should have included MAGA (American Terrorists), Republican Elected Officials (Domestic Terrorists), FOX (Immigrant Terrorists), Heritage Society (Christian Nationalist Terrorists), and MUSK (Billionaire Terrorists)

 

Of course, the Dictators from Russia and China see a significant advancement in their Authoritarianist governance. They know how to motivate their puppet, Trump, and the Iranians just hate American democracy enough to follow the lead of two nations who vow to make the world evil.

 

We seem to sound the alarm regarding foreign governments but never quite call out the terrorists living in this country!

Fair...no way

Gov. Shapiro calls Musk's $1M offer to Pennsylvania voters 'deeply concerning'

Trump supporter Elon Musk says the daily prize money is meant to “support the Constitution,” but an election law expert calls it “clearly illegal.” (npr)

 

I am so tired, sick, and angrily tired of people like Elon Musk, those who believe wealth trumps law and order, participating in illegal and immoral acts and seemingly able to get away with it.          

 

Elon Musk Insists “Joke” Noting No One Has Tried to Assassinate Biden or Harris Would Have Been Much Funnier in Context He did not reveal the context that supposedly would have made his remark more palatable. (Vanity Fair)

 

Fucking double and triple standards from Trump and his Gestapo of Republican political eunuchs to his bullshit Evangelical con men and women, they all seem to say and do, enact, and promise that most heinous of actions, and most to many seem never to receive anything but a slap on the wrist.  

 

Musk begs the question of why no one has tried to assassinate Biden or Harris, and all the FBI said was they would investigate. Musk is now bribing citizens to vote for Trump, and the course seems deaf, dumb, and blind.  

 

A 34-count Felon is still in the running to become President. A convicted Rapist, a convicted Fraud, and it seems the hue and cry is almost silent, and the will to hold him and Musk accountable zilch to zero.

"It ain't me babe"

 “It ain’t me, babe, it ain’t me the one you’re looking for, babe.”

L.A. Catholic church covered up molesting priests for decades. The price: $1.5 billion and so much pain

Several factors contributed to the sizable payout, including the sheer size of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

But attorneys and others who have been involved in more than two decades of litigation say it also is an indication of the failures of church leaders to identify molesting priests and prevent them from committing more crimes.

Some of those priests, after undergoing treatment at residential centers, were shuffled to new parishes, frequently in immigrant neighborhoods where the abuse would continue. (Los Angeles Times)

 

But in fact, Catholic Church, it is you, it is you all the way from Vatican City to the smallest villages located all over the world. Hey, Catholic Church, it seems you spend a whole lot of time chastising anyone else who is not you. Why, you even had one of your Bishops trying to deny Joe Biden mass because he supported the freedom for women to control their own bodies. Your hard-liners have called homosexuals evil; you refuse to acknowledge Trans people. You seem to love yourself, some 34-count Felon, Trump, and JD What-The -Fuck is your joy and best bud, forgetting all of his lies and hatred toward others.

 

Pick and choose, choose and ignore, ignore and pretend. ‘L.A. Catholic church covered up molesting priests for decades. The price: $1.5 billion and so much pain.’ I must wonder, is being a HYPOCRITE your Eleventh Commandment?

                                                      

The short and "SCHLONG" of it all

 The “SCHLONG” of it all…OR how size and how much sex matters when, as a male, you fear that people will notice you lack MACHISMO!

 

This emasculated male, the guy who is begging the world to notice that he is THE SCHLONG MASTER OF THE WORLD, this insecure man, is running for President. All he seems to be concerned with is the “SCHLONG” SIZE of other men, and how other men should and could have the power to use their “SCHLONG,” anyway and anytime they so desire. He fears his tiny crowd sizes, his tiny hands, and apparently his tiny “SCHLONG”!

 

US presidential election updates: Stars turn out for Harris while Trump tells story about Arnold Palmer’s ‘anatomy’. In the battleground of Pennsylvania, Trump escalated his personal attacks on Harris, calling her a “shit vice-president”. The Republican candidate had billed the event as the start of his final argument to voters but quickly went off script with a long story about Arnold Palmer that included remarks about the genitalia of the late golfing legend. (The Guardian)

 

With little more than two weeks left in the presidential election campaign, Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost is thoroughly baffled by Donald Trump’s closing message. Particularly, the “Weekend Update” co-anchor didn’t understand why Trump would say that former film producer Harvey Weinstein, who was accused of sexual assault by over 80 women and sentenced to prison, had gotten “schlonged.”

“So in that story, he thinks Harvey Weinstein’s the one who got schlonged?” Jost asked after burying his head in his hands. “By the way, I never need to hear anyone ever say ‘schlonged’ again.” (Daily Beast)

Holiest of Crap

 It might sound like a joke that Henny Youngman, a comedian of the ’50s, 60’smight have said while performing at Grossingers in the Catskill Mountains…”A Felon, a Rapist, a Fraudster, Two Adulterers, and a cardinal walk into a Catholic Charity fundraiser…Bud, da’ da’!” The Felon, Rapist, and Fraudster being Trump, the two adulterers being Trump and his immigrant wife Melania, and the Cardinal, good ole’ hypocrite Cardinal Dolan.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Trump Goes on Bonkers, Profanity-Laden Rant to a Room Full of Priests

“I don’t give a shit if this is comedy or not,” Donald Trump told the crowd. (The New Republic)

 

So, the great and powerful Cardinal Dolan of the New York Catholic Diocese has no problem, ZERO, ZILCH, NADA sitting next to, conversing with, and joking out loud with Trump, a Rapist, a Fraudster, a Felon and an Adulterer. Supposedly, the Al Smith dinner is an annual bi-partisan soiree, a fundraiser for the Catholic Church in which politicians must flock to please the Catholic voters. Hmmm, or should I say, Holy Shit, as in this Head Honcho Dolan all full of piss and vinegar regarding the sins of the homosexual, the trans, as evil doers, had little issues sitting next to Trump, yucking it up, and overlooking Trump’s con, schemes, tyranny, and infidelity.  Talk about HYPOCRICY. Bi-Partisanship is no excuse to invite and enjoy the likes of Criminal DonOLD!

 

It Was Gross to Watch Trump Yuck It Up with Cardinal Dolan at the Al Smith Dinner

He seemed to be the only one who considered his remarks comedy. Regulars at this here shebeen know that we have little or no use for Timothy Dolan, cardinal archbishop of the Diocese of New York. Of all the American princes of the Church, outside of that ridiculous popinjay Raymond Burke, Dolan is among the most insufferable. He plays the jocular, backslapping Irishman while his rap sheet on burying the ongoing sexual-abuse scandal is one of the longest of all his fellow members of the Clan of the Red Hat. (Esquire)

push, and push, and push

 I am not naïve anymore regarding politics and politicians. Sadly, most professional politicians prefer self-preservation versus the preservation of the people. For way too many career politicians, it is all about “me, me, me,” and that selfish, self-serving attitude and arrogance peaked so greatly in 2024.

 

I have also become less naïve regarding the hierarchy of wealth and power, and sadly, I have discovered that corporations, which this treasonous Supreme Court had anointed as people, are selfish, greedy, and prioritize their profits over people. To think otherwise is ridiculous! 

 

I would wish that I had the genie in the bottle to beg the journalists and reporters to stop playing the corporate game and ask some honest questions, especially of the current crop of Republican Trump Court Jesters. As I see it, Trump survives only because of the many spineless and soulless Republicans who seem to have little trouble in placating Trump to save their own political careers. 

 

Why not push, and push, and push these Republicans on some very relevant questions? How about asking them why they support a man who has declared that if elected, he will enact authoritarianist, Fascist leadership, defining his enemies as enemies of the state? Why not push, and push, and push these same hypocrites, asking them how they can support a man who has clearly stated that he recognizes dictators around the world, preferring them over democratic nations? Why not push, and push, and push these Republicans, asking them how suddenly specific immigration populations are evil and inflicting this nation with bad blood?

 

It is way too easy to just focus on Trump when all around him are his minions and cultists, current Republican elected officials who enable him to succeed.                               

 

                                    

The DonOLD

DonOLD “bone spurs,” again demonstrating his profile in cowardice. He is now deciding not to appear in most one-on-one interviews. It seems any question, even from his cadre of Fascists, is too scary, too tiring for him! Thinking is such a complex action, and the GOP “what in it for me politicians and the brain-dead MAGA morons are okay with that!

 

Some of DonOLD’s BFFs, you know, the rough and brutal dictators for whom he always seems to get a hard-on, are once again planning their own wars on Democracy. Donald loves himself a Fascist gang-bang, so it seems.

 

Kim Jong-un supposedly is sending 10,000 Troops to help Putin fight in Ukraine. And Jung-un is at the ready to throw a few nukes at South Korea because, well, mainly because South Korea is a democracy!

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping has amassed a whole bunch of Troops playing war games around Taiwan. Of course, Taiwan is also a democracy, and there is never any room in an authoritarian domain for free and equal.              

 

And Vlad Putin, the guy who seems to own and operate DonOLD, just keeps on stirring the democracy pot. He invaded a democratic nation, Ukraine, and he has supported Iran in its attempt to annihilate the democratic country of Israel. He has interfered with the democracy of fair elections in the USA.

 

DonOLD is only as decent as his best friends, and none of his best friends are decent. DonOLD is only as brave as the best coward, and he is best at being a coward!        

HUH!!!

 This dude is deranged, dangerous, and truly disgusting.

In a recent NY Times interview, Vance was asked if his wife, Usha, had converted to Catholicism from her Hindu faith. He explained that she had not, but their family still attends church together. "No, she hasn't [converted]. That's why I feel bad about it. She's got three kids. Obviously, I help with the kids, but because I'm kind of the one going to church, she feels more responsibility to keep the kids quiet in the church." (HUFFPOST)

 

His wife has three kids, as in they are only her kids, not his! HUH!!!! Her job as a non-Catholic is to keep her kids quiet in his church!!! HUH!!! His wife hasn’t converted to Catholicism, so he feels bad, but he bemoans that fact. HUH!!!                 His wife feels more responsibility for her kids’ quiet in church because I suppose she ain’t Catholic, so the next best thing for Hindi to do is keep her kids quiet while they are in his church. HUH!!!                  

 

JD WHAT-THE-FUCK, is targeted to become the second most powerful man in America. HUH!!! JD WHAT-THE-FUCK disparages women, demeans them, and treats them as chattel. HUH!!! JD WHAT-THE-FUCK pontificates and pontificates regarding family values and family morals and pretends to be Pro-Life. HUH!!! He states that he helps as if being a man means you don’t have to, really be a good dad. HUH!!!                  

 

And the hypocrites within the Republican Christian Nationalist Fascist Evangelical Community seem to have no problem with this. HUH!!!

If you are listening

COME ON MEDIA AND OUR CURRENT CROP OF DEMOCRATS SERVING IN CONGRESS…

 

It has been well proven that TRUMP loves to brag about both his past actions and his future intentions! As a NARCISSIST, he cannot help himself…

 

Let’s reflect, MEDIA, shall we? Remember when he proudly stated that if the Russians were listening, they certainly should continue to interfere in our elections?       Share those bogus emails regarding Hilary, he boastfully shouted.

 

Once again, TRUMP is using a bullhorn, no longer a dog whistle, to inform the Russians and the Chinese that if they interfere in the 2024 elections and assist him in stealing this election, he will go out of his way to reward them.      

 

Recently, TRUMP boasted that Taiwan should no longer remain an independent democracy, but the US should let the mainland Chinese claim it. Showcasing his selfish self-interest, he added that Taiwan might be a great seacoast island, a boon for the hotel and vacation industry. As I see it, Trump has recently praised Xi Jinping as a brilliant leader.

 

And piling on to his praise for his bud Putin (who I believe has a whole long and filled dossier regarding TRUMP’s notorious past), TRUMP has made it CLEARER THAN CLEAR that it was Zelensky who had the nerve to urge the Russians to invade his country. Ukraine was the bad guy, begging Russia to invade them.                 

 

Come on, Media; you always act so surprised after the fact when suddenly you “whack yourself on the side of your collective head,” pretending all of the warning signs from the past regarding TRUMP were never apparent. TRUMP has once again made it clear, Russia or China, if you are listening!

  

the secret police

  

 

 

Have ya wondered why and how there has been little to no more dredging up the two assassination plots against TRUMP? I mean, these two incidents were perfect fodder for GYM Jordan and his band of Fascists serving as the Majority in the House. But all is quiet on the assassination front, except for the occasional “I HAVE BEEN RESURECTED” rhetoric while on his campaign trail.

                                                                                              

Heads have been severed within the Secret Service, most likely the heads of the staff that have nothing at all to do with the schemes established by the TRUMP Gestapo. I believe that TRUMP and his Fascists are in the throes of reshaping the Secret Service so it will look more like a form of the SECRET POLICE!

 

But then an old report surfaced another TRUMP con, of course, demonstrating just how much disdain, dishonor, and disgust TRUMP and his “Brown Shirts have for the Secret Service.           

 

A new report from House Democrats alleges former President Trump over overcharging Secret Service agents to stay at his Washington, D.C., hotel when he was in office. (MSNBC)

 

ONE MORE SNAKE OIL is being sold!

 

 

Profiles in COWARD

 Once more, we have two Republican hypocrites demonstrating both Profiles in Cowardice, as well as their profane, self-serving political ambitions.        

 

McConnell defends calling Trump ‘despicable human being,' throws Vance under the bus. According to a new book, Mitch McConnell called Trump a "despicable human being," "stupid" and "ill-tempered” after the 2020 election. When asked about these comments today, McConnell effectively threw JD Vance under the bus. (MSNBC)

McConnell has now endorsed Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and said in a statement to the AP that his comments about Trump "pales in comparison" with what now-close Trump allies Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, and Lindsey Graham, R-K.Y. have said about him in the past.(USA Today)

 

Mitch (THE CRYPT KEEPER) McConnell, as well as the Poster Child for Term Limits, is proud that he called DonOLD all kinds of derogatory names because, as Mitch states, his names were never as awful or derogatory as JD WHAT THE FUCK, or Ms. Lindsey Graham. Mitch the Troll wants his fools, I mean his followers, to believe that his name-calling of DonOLD was mild compared to others. Wow, one must wonder how Mitch walks past a mirror without it shattering into millions of pieces.

 

Nikki Haley is in talks to bring her unenthusiastic message of support for Donald Trump to the campaign trail in an attempt to win over skeptical female voters, sources told The Bulwark. Although the details haven’t been finalized, the Trump camp is apparently hoping his former ambassador to the United Nations will appear with him later this month at a town hall event moderated by a Fox News personality such as Sean Hannity. (msn.com)

 

Nikki Haley responds after Trump mocks (and misspells) her Indian name: 'He’s clearly insecure' Trump called Haley 'Nimbra' three times in a post and said she 'doesn’t have what it takes' (National Post), But that was then. This new, and “Nimbra,” has political aspirations, the kind that voids a conscience or introspection.  NIKKI is all about NIKKI and gives no shits if she is found a hypocrite. TRUMP wants Nikki to be the voice for females, I suppose those are the females with absolutely ZERO self-esteem!

EVEN LOWER

 Trump Reveals First Targets on Military Hit List in Shocking Interview.

----So, this reporter uses the words shocking, as in hearing Trump state his intentions to become a tyrant. There ain’t nothing shocking regarding Trump; instead, the term to be used is “HE HAS GONE EVEN LOWER.” 

 

Donald Trump admitted during a Fox News town hall that he has specific names in mind for his plans to have the military go after the “enemy from within.”

----The old Republican ploy to invent an enemy from within. Senator Joe McCarthy succeeded in doing so, claiming everyone who disagreed with him was a Communist. And more recently, the Republicans pretended that ANTIFA was a real organization and that somehow being Anti-Fascist was a bad thing!          

 

At a Fox News town hall on women’s issues in Georgia taped Tuesday evening, Donald Trump spoke further of the “enemy within” that he wants to use the military against, specifically naming Democratic Representative Adam Schiff as well as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her family. 

---Where else but at the Immigrant’s, Rupert Murdoch, propaganda channel could you find a gaggle of gals who somehow think that they will never be affected by the draconian misogyny intentions of Trump and his cadre of “Burn the Witch at the Stake,” insecure males. The worst kind of misogynists are the insecure females who, day after day, must feel inferior to other women.

 

“It is the enemy from within. And they’re very dangerous. They’re marxists and they’re communists and they’re fascists and they’re sick.” Trump said to Fox’s Harris Faulker. “I use a guy like Adam Schiff. They made up the Russia Russia Russia hoax.” (The New Republic)

---Once again, the Trump projection “tricky dicky” routine. Identify what is true, then say it ain’t so, LOUD enough and LONG enough, hoping to convince the morons and minions that if you protest on and on, so, they will believe your lies. But be enough of a narcissist to brag about all of the fucking shit you have created.

only THE OTHERS

 Rachel Maddow calls the bluff of Trump supporters who claim to be making a 'business decision' (MSNBC)

Over the last couple of months, a neighbor of ours has been upping her sign game. In addition to the usual stuff—“Law and Order,” “Not My President,” “No Legal Rights for Illegal Immigrants,” and so on—she’s added “Democrats Are Communists and Terrorists—ARE YOU?” and “The Democratic Party HATES AMERICA—DO YOU?” (The New Yorker)

 

Be it the Jewish American pretending that somehow Trump’s so-called love for Israel means he is not an Anti-Semite. Is it the LGB Log Cabin Republicans pretending that there is more to voting for a candidate, like their economic well-being, than his homophobia? Be it the Uber wealthy billionaires who are happier with freedom from taxation than freedom and liberty for all. Be it the Latin community, feeling snug and smug because somehow, they arrived in this nation safely, rather than the current immigrants who want the same security but are constantly harassed and victimized. Be it the Black community, who somehow pretend that KKK, White Nationalists, and Neo Nazis will only demonstrate Racism and Bigotry to other people of color who choose to vote Democrat. Be it women, who think that being raped, having miscarriages, being a victim of incest, or having pregnancies that endanger both the embryo and mothers, only happens to the wrong kind of female. Be it so-called non-committed voters who stand on their high horse insisting that this year both political parties are the same, that both candidates for President are the same, that not voting somehow makes taking a stand relevant.            

 

So many demographics are pretending that their shit does not stink like THE OTHERS. Pretending that once a dictator gains power, he or she will kindly relinquish that power. Selfish and self-serving are those LGB Americans, Jewish Americans, Latin Heritage Americans, African Americans, and Females who think they are shooting THE OTHERS in the feet, ALL THE WHILE pointing the gun at their own feet!                  

DE-SATAN

 DeSantis administration warns local TV stations to remove ads about abortion ballot measure.

The Republican administration is pressuring Florida stations to take down an ad that promotes a “yes” vote on Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution. (MSNBC)

                                                                                     

In the United States, we have witnessed the purge of democracy and the rise of either Christian Nationalism or plainly stated American Fascism. Not covertly, not under the cover of darkness, but with this inclination for authoritarian rule, dictatorship, to be honest, the MAGA/Republicans proudly pronounce a war on Democracy.

 

DeSantis is despicable, dangerous, and dead set on denying personal freedoms to others if he perceives those freedoms as a challenge to his own power and political gains. DeSantis bans books because he has read enough of those banned books himself to understand the real power that knowledge provides. History is full of facts, and DeSantis understands that past realities can correct present and future irregularities. An educated citizen with an understanding of what came before is a dangerous foe for megalomaniacs like DeSantis.

 

Threats, harassment, denial, government blackmail all of these are screaming notifications of a dictatorship; all of these are screaming warnings that a “strong man” refuses to respect your freedoms. And yet, in the Banana Republic of Florida, right before our very eyes, FASCISM is alive and well!

once again a hypocrite

 Disaster loan program fully ‘exhausted’ with Congress still out of town

Without congressional action, the Small Business Administration can’t make new loan offers to people trying to rebuild after disasters like Hurricanes Helene and Milton. (POLITICO)

 

Mr. Jesus loves me. Speaker Mike Johnson, the self-professed HERO OF PRO-LIFE, is at it again, praying not to his professed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but to the true love of his life, Donald Trump. This pathetic political sycophant, apparently, has placed his personal, professional political career above and beyond the welfare and the well-being of the human lives living in America.

 

Quickly and simply as Speaker of the House, Douchebag Johnson could have immediately called the House back into session and, just as immediately, sent to President Biden’s office the much-needed and necessary money to IMMEDIATELY be sent to the people whose lives have been decimated and devastated by hurricanes, Milton, and Helene. (And by the way, the money needed has affected a whole bunch of MAGA-majority communities.)

 

But lo and behold, TRUMP, the selfish, insidious, evil-minded, what’s in it for my pig, and his Fascist Gestapo of court jesters had decided that assisting the people is not as much a priority for TRUMP. Instead, what counts for TRUMP and his Legion of Doom is the pretense that the Biden Administration does not care. The optics of it all is the goal here for the Republicans: no substance, no empathy, no iota of truth or honor. And Speaker Mickie Johnson, once again, plays the part of a spineless eunuch!

ORANGE FACE

 A Picture Of Donald Trump's Face Being Two Completely Different Colors Is Going Viral For Obvious Reasons (BuzzFeed)

 

Back in the days of the Roaring Twenties, some things were not quite as roaring, significantly when white entertainers would darken their faces with makeup; it was called BLACK FACE. Somehow, folks found it cool to watch white men pretend they were black men, then add a whole bunch of bogus racist mannerisms with their voices and physical movements. It was crude, it was ignorant, and it was hateful, intentionally so! It was as if these white folk desired to become somebody else, someone they seemed to despise, yet someone they assumed could help them with their career.

 

And now, we have the ORANGE FACE. The old man TRUMP is pretending to be some kind of Anita Bryant of Florida, selling sunshine and orange juice. Between his dyed hair and his overly orange-sprayed flesh, this creep, who is anything but natural and someone who never lives in reality, has been conning the crowds. He looks like the role model for SPRAY TAN GONE BAD. Of course, he denies that he does hair and makeup, but there is a perfect photo of the Orange Man showcasing a messed-up spray tan job. Apparently, his makeup artist needed to remember to wear their glasses.

 

BLACK FACE was a disguise used by insecure entertainers, and now, ORANGE FACE is used by this insecure entertainer!

WHAT!

Some FEMA operations paused in North Carolina after reports National Guard troops saw ‘armed militia’ threatening them. Aid to several communities impacted by Hurricane Helene was temporarily paused in parts of North Carolina over the weekend due to reports of threats against Federal Emergency Management Agency responders, amid a backdrop of misinformation about responses to recent storms. (CNN)

 

TRUMP’S AMERIKA, THIS IS WHAT HE AND HIS REPUBLICAN TRAITORS HAVE MANUFACURED! 

 

Reading this article made me sick to my stomach, and I am so tired of being sick to my stomach whenever any article is written about the perversion, the bizarre, the truly sadistic machinations of TRUMP and his cold-blooded Republican sycophants. And even more disgusting are the creatures of the MAGA Cult, the sociopaths, the psychopaths, the insidious minions are self-loathing men and women who seem to feast on the pain and sorrow of others.

 

I ask this question, understanding that there is no answer, “WHEN WILL THIS NATION WAKE UP AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!”

  

He is no friend

 Harris and Trump vie for Jewish voters unsettled by Israel-Gaza conflict. “People aren’t saying: ‘I never will vote for Democrats,’” Michael Schwartz, who oversees Pennsylvania volunteers for the Jewish Democratic Council of America. “It’s more, ‘You need to convince me, because some trust has been lost.’ This is a small trend, but it’s out there. The question is how big it is.” (The Washington Post)

I am an American who was raised and nurtured in a Jewish family. My entire professional career has been working in the Jewish Communal world. I am proudly an American, and I am just as proudly an American Jew. I firmly believe in the state of Israel, and I just as firmly believe that Jewish people living anywhere in the world have the right to exist, the right to equality, and the right to live in peace. 

 

When I read about the super-wealthy Jewish donors supporting TRUMP, I become nauseated. Somehow, this demographic of Jews seems to believe that Trump's so-called affection for Israel makes him some king of the Jews. This same demographic of Jews in America too quickly forgets Trump’s anti-Semitic tropes and his disparaging of Jews living not in Israel but in the United States.  TRUMP made it very clear that there are good people on both sides, as in the stating that Nazis are fine folks.          

 

Trump's disdain for any minority is apparent and appalling. Trump’s association with Project 2025 clarifies that he supports an Evangelical Christian Nationalist America. Yes, the Jewish people living in Israel should live in peace, but Trump has demonstrated that Jews living in America do not deserve the same fate. Have the Jewish voters who either still support Trump or the so-called undecided Jewish voters pretend that there is no difference between Harris and Trump ever read history books? Trump hates, Trump loathes, Trump is a con. Trump is not a friend, a cohort, a believer in the Jewish people.
