ya can talk

“Ya can talk, ya can talk, ya can bicker, ya can talk
Ya can bicker, bicker, bicker, ya can talk, ya can talk
Ya can talk, talk, talk, talk, bicker, bicker, bicker.” (Rock Island/ Music Man/Meredith Wilson)

Three, pick ’em three separate talking points from Trump. None do any justice for ALL Americans, none provide any freedom or equality for ALL Americans, and ALL originate for the sole purpose of Trump wanting to remain in the Oval Office instead of a Square Cell. 

“More persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing in nothing than by believing in too much.” P.T. Barnum

Three sources familiar with White House conversations told NBC that Trump has privately said, "these aren't my voters" on more than one occasion when discussing protesters and how to respond. (The Hill)

“A fool is made more of a fool, when their mouth is more open than their mind.”- Anthony Liccione

The Trump administration has finalized a regulation rolling back Obama-era protections for transgender Americans against sex discrimination in health care. According to the new version of the policy, the Department of Health and Human Services will be “returning to the government’s interpretation of sex discrimination according to the plain meaning of the word ‘sex’ as male or female and as determined by biology”. (The Guardian)

“Some people believe that being the loudest in the room makes them look strong. It may appear that way to a few uninformed individuals. What they don’t know is the more they talk, the more information they reveal about themselves (directly and indirectly). They become an easy target, and it makes them very vulnerable to attacks. Do not underestimate the power of silence.” Izey Victoria Odiase

Trump supporters who plan on attending the president’s controversial rally in Tulsa next week have to sign a waiver promising not to sue his reelection campaign if they catch coronavirus during the raucous event. A disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage where people can sign up to attend the June 19 rally states that attendants “are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place.” “By attending,” the disclaimer continues, “you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President ... liable for any illness or injury.” (New York Daily News)

Flag Day

“There are many flags in many lands
There are flags of every hue
But there is no flag
However grand like our own red, white, and blue

Then hurrah for the flag
Our country's flag
Its stripes and white stars too
There is no flag in any land
Like our own red, white and blue” (There Are Many Flags In Many Lands)

Each Flag Day, on the front lawn of Linden Elementary School, Grades Kindergarten to Eight would parade from our front doors to form a circle around the flag pole. Our Music Teacher Miss Marie Cyphers, having taught all grades the lyrics to this song, would find stand by her piano watching as these future American Patriots lined up and celebrated Flag Day. We began with, of course, the American National Anthem, followed by Many Flags, finished our half an hour-long ceremony with God Bless America.  A passage from the New Testament and a quote from one of our Founding Father’s would be recited by our Principle, and one of the eighth-graders from the A section of that grade (in the 1950’s God was a part of our curriculum in Public Schools, and in Pittsburgh, it was also prevalent to keep the smart kids together Group A, the less smart in their own section, Group B and the rest of the kids ( the future blue-collar workers I suppose) in the C Group! We then placed our hands on our chest Pledged Allegiance to OUR Flag. Then 99.5% of the white kids along with the point 5 % of the two Negro Kids returned to our classrooms. 

We were taught to live in straight lines, follow orders, believe that America’s freedom was based on Judeo-Christian values (primarily the Christian part of that phrase,) that obeying authority meant being a good American, and above all else, God did Bless America, we were one nation under God. I lived in a very Jewish neighborhood, so the majority of my classmates were Jewish, but we also were taught that diversity was not the true purpose of this country, and to understand the true path forward not to sway from a very common ground of Patriotism, which was and would always be White, Christian and male-dominated! Happy Flag Day!

"LOOK OVER THERE"

REMEMBER those days when one day after the next a virus called the 2^nd Amendment Rights, ran rampant throughout the United States. One breaking news story after another, regarding how that disease caused the MASS MURDER of innocents from Toddlers to people in their 90’s. Remember when that virus was sweeping the nation, and we thought, how, why, and surely we are smart enough to find a cure.

If you don’t REMEMBER, you most likely are not alone, because, once the government and its leadership offered THOUGHTS and PRAYERS, the disease was to have magically disappeared. Oh, the victims tried to beg for a better vaccine, but to no avail.

Well, folks the same people who provided you with the “LOOK OVER THERE,” mentality, a really smart action used by those in charge to divert the attention of most Americans from something of importance to something not that important, are at it again with the COVID-19. The poor pampered privileged American public, so TIRED of THIS SOCIAL DISTANCING, MASKS… Trump Administration stopped reacting, the Republican’s stopped caring, and now the, I AM HEALTHIER THAN YOU AND I AM NOT A SOCIALIST, NOR BE TREATED AS A SOCIALIST AMERICAN is tired of it…and even the Medical Community, who IS NOT TIRED of it, but hasn’t come up QUICKLY ENOUGH, with an instant cure, have not continued to keep the motivation swelling to keep us fixated on a fucking PANDEMIC! So here we go, again, as Americans, and want to move on, without really addressing the issue. Yep, there is a lull, we ‘LOOK OVER THERE,” and then when the same virus returns, we are shocked, how could this be!

SOVEREIGN CITIZEN

Sov·er·eign cit·i·zen: a member of a political movement of people who oppose taxation, question the legitimacy of government, and believe that they are not subject to the law. If Ya’ just don’t want to be considerate of your fellow human being, the other villagers living in your village…if Ya’ just think that being selfish is a really cool kind of existence, one in which you could give a fuck about what anyone else thinks, or actually could give a HUGE/TREMENDOUS FUCK, about the health or welfare of anyone but YOU…AND if you want government out of your business, when it is inconvenient for your own demands and drama, but necessary when the time comes to complain you are not getting your way…AND the BEST and BIGGEST of the, AND, IS, if you read the Constitution as you might your Bible, and are selective and ONLY pick and choose the passages that suit your needs, like the 2^nd Amendment, or God hates FAGS, or God created the Negro as a subservient race to serve the Caucasian OR the life of a zygote in the womb is more relevant than the education, health, and welfare of that child once it is out of the womb…YOU are one hell of a SOVEREIGN CITIZEN!

Seems in Orange County California, the entire state of Ohio and Oregon, the crazy stupid MAGA (you are also a Sovereign Citizen in good standing if you own a MAGA Red Hat or T-Shirt, or a Trump/Pence 2020 Banner) are going nuts over the mere idea that science and medicine actually are more factual than the conspiracy and paranoid theories which float from Breibart Radio/FOX Propaganda/Q-Anon/ the American Good Nazi’s/the KKK, and the American Taliban Evangelical Christian leaderships. These men and women who in reality don’t mind participating in forms of homicide, suicide, and pre-meditated murder, all want their FREEDOM, to infect the rest of their neighborhood, because, as some have stated, they have lungs that work and keep out the Covid-19, they are ‘Mericans, and thus can do and act as they please, and they have listened to TRUMP who has assured them (and he NEVER LIES) that the Chinese FLU/ the Progressive Hoax/ the Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer Virus, will evaporate in just a few more days because TRUMP talks to himself, and HIMSELF has assured HIM, that the CORONAVIRUS  is just one more anti-American piece of Democrat bull shit to UN MAKE AMERICA GREAT!

State and Local Health Professionals have been threatened, some with their lives, harassed, and have resigned due to the sheer stupidity BY political forces from which TRUMP and PENCE and their REPUBLICAN ENABLERS continue to lie. Forget the fact over 115 Thousand deaths have occurred. It is the life of the CORPORATION via the economy, and of course the selfish hedonistic lives of the SOVERIGN CITIZEN  that truly matter. And oh yeah, at the next Rally Trump holds, all who participate without the “sissy/ emasculating Democrat mask on their faces or spit and spittle on one another because Social Distancing is for Communists, or Fascists ( ain’t that a kick in the balls…a Communist leader, Putin hacked Trump into office, and Trump is dying to become a Dystopian Fascist Dictator), have to sign a waiver, NOT TO SUE TRUMP IF THEY BECOME INFECTED WITH THE NON-EXISTENT COVID-19 VIRUS! SOVEREIGN CITIZENS…the scum of the scum of the scum!

disgust

“One cannot avoid a certain feeling of disgust, when one observes the actions of man displayed on the great stage of the world. Wisdom is manifested by individuals here and there; but the web of human history as a whole appears to be woven from folly and childish vanity, often, too, puerile wickedness and love of destruction: with the result that the end one is puzzled to know what idea to form of our species which prides itself so much on its advantages.” (Immanuel Kant/German Philosopher)

TRUMP is at Bedminster (Trump's National PRIVATE Golf Club,) it may be his property and it may be for members only, but WE THE PEOPLE, as in WE THE TAXPAYER, are footing this bill. All of this even as 1.5 million people filed for unemployment insurance last week, adding to a total of 44.1 million Americans either completely broke, or eking out some form of day to day existence. TRUMPS ego, almost exploded realizing that the Governor of North Carolina, is still demanding sane and safe social distancing, including masks as a form of protection, even though 2.06 Million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 115 Thousand deaths in America alone, BUT insists that the true part of RNC Convention the KLAN/MAGA/GOOD NAZI Part be moved to Jacksonville, Florida, a state whose Governor not only has stopped publicly printing the cases and deaths from the CORONAVIRUS, but who opened up his state for business, stating the economy DUDE is the true lifeblood of a nation, and whose own state in spite of Governor DeSantis’s denial has seen and is seeing a spike in new COVID-19 cases!

And as if the word IRONIC actually matters any longer, TRUMP is identifying himself as THE LAW AND ORDER PRESIDENT, which spins the heads of any decent human being with morals and values, having witnessed the almost three of four dozen of Federal, Criminal, Tax, Constitutional Laws Trump and his Family and his Cabinet and his breed of Flying Monkeys have either broken, ignored or just took ONE HUGE DUMP UPON! I apologize, Immanuel Kant, but one change to your quote instead of the word ONE, let me state I cannot avoid, and I will insert my opinion again, too many deep-rooted angry emotions filled with disgust, when it comes to TRUMP and his cadre of criminals!

LANDSLIDE

I took my love; I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
‘til the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life? (Landslide/Stevie Nicks)

The confusion, the chaos, the contempt, the criminal continuation of careless, and direct consciousness to manipulate and insight fear, and hate, via the nature of a Pandemic, or the lack of nurturing of a Maniac, has been a burden more than my 70 years of life has ever experienced. The deception, almost as if it was intentional defecation upon our sovereignty as citizens, the endless deliberate division, and the lies have grown so out of proportion, I actually feel the need to run and hide, and SCREAM! I know SILENCE EQUALS DEATH, and yet the more I SHOUT, the more my throat aches, my heart hurts, and my soul begs to just implode and give in. I can no longer with any amount of positive energy, read the headlines, watch the newscasts, or hear one more word from men and women, who, has become a dangerous CULT, and have begun worshipping a FALSE IDOL! It is no longer, a question of how much lower or deeper or uglier or more rotten can Trump go, but a simple reality that HE will, like acid and the toxins from a nuclear power plant, destroy all that ever was, and will never be the same. It is, as Stevie Nicks so eloquently wrote a LANDSLIDE…

The streets of Provincetown are semi-awake, the visitors and townsfolk walking with masks, trying their best to make the best of the next day, which seems like the day before, or someday that was or might be or never be again, greet one another and as full as their hearts want to become, there is still an emptiness.  I passed the wharf and noticed a sign regarding PARASAILING, flying from the earth the sky and back again, something all of us no matter how old or young can and could do…and I grew melancholy, and then mad. And my mind raced and tried to reason with my gut…but both were relentless and resistant. All I could think of was that NOW with trump and his Enablers his Treasonous Thugs if we even tried to fly, we only would fall to earth because HE is such a force of evil that anything free, will only drop dead and die. I am in mourning for America, and I, and those I love, and those I wish I could know…THIS HAS TO END, HE HAS TO END!

once again the nature of nurturing

I happened to turn on MSNBC, bad habit to watch the news in the morning, because the rest of the I end up mourning the lack of humanity demonstrated by Trump, his Flying Monkeys and the Domestic Terrorists who support him, out of fear that a MAGA Minion will get all hissy and Fascist and either rescind their vote for a GOP politician or demonstrate their sexual perversion towards their AK’s or AR’s and threaten to use the 2^nd Amendment Right and shoot up a few things!

Today Representative Jerry Nadler (D) Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing regarding ‘Defunding the Police’ (I will take a privilege here as the writer of this blog, and say I am VERY concerned with the wording used ‘Defunding the Police,’ because for me, what is missing in the title is the truth. If an average person reads the two words Defunding and Police, it comes across that we no longer will provide any allotment for a group who ALL of us require to act as Peace Officers. I become afraid that this newly minted verbiage, does not tell the true story, and for me, that is one about eliminating the violence, systematic prejudice, racism, lack of responsibility, and sheer insatiable appetite of power, provided with very too little consequence, for illegal actions.  I also am of the age when Richard Nixon a Criminal himself, as id Trump, used the misinformation and mis-formation of wording to convince the US, that you could have one or the other, LAW and ORDER, or CHAOS. Nixon frightened enough people, and the mafia Boss remained in power. I fear Trump and the GOP are smart enough to misuse the term DEFUNDING THE POLICE, as a battle cry for the stupid folks who can only see the world in black or white, right or wrong, us or them.)

But, I digress, because this blog was originally intended to showcase a simple point of why the COVID-19 shall remain a murderer, and a hunter for victims due to the arrogance, ignorance, and spitefulness of Republican Politicians. As I watched the first few minutes of preparation for this Judicial hearing, the cameras panned the House Chamber, and low and behold, three men, in particular, wore no masks, were at the most one foot away from each other and closer to those they bumped onto along the way and acted as if any CDC precaution to help stop the contamination of COVID-19 was BULL SHIT and not a priority. The three men were Kevin McCarthy (R ) (The House Minority Leader), Jimmy (I know nothing about the harassment of wrestlers at Ohio State) Jordon,( R ) and of course the ever spoiled and pampered, brat Matt (my Dad will fire you for giving me a DUI Ticket) Gaetz (R ). Two major events happening in this nation today, one caused by NATURE/CORONAVIRUS, and the other caused by NURTURE, the racist, violent use of force against African Americans and People of Color in America!
