'A Clockwork Orange'

 A Clockwork Orange explores themes of free will versus state control, highlighting the conflict between individual choice and societal order. It questions the nature of goodness and the morality of using psychological conditioning to enforce behavior, suggesting that true morality must come from within rather than be imposed externally. (SparkNotes-a 1971 film directed by Stanley Kubrick)

As I read the headlines, listen to podcasts, and watch actual lurid, insidious, and immoral acts in real time, my head reels, my gut aches, and I feel my body shake, knowing that these days of Trump and his Fascist army of sycophants are not a movie, but my reality. As in like the movie ‘A Clockwork Orange’, issues of goodness versus evil, accommodating the actions of the worst people in society, and having to witness the psychological dystopia, have become an everyday ritual in America, and I fear becoming ritualized like the fabricated “apple pie”, “white picket fence”, and “baseball.”

The Supreme Court, the supposed highest court in the land, where facts and law are to be upheld, has turned into a Racist sewage plant. The Legislative Branch of Government, which was established as a guardrail against the tyranny of the Executive Branch, has become nothing but a make-a-wish come true for Trump. Corporate Media, for the most part, no longer cares about serving the people, but prioritizes bathing in profits by soothing the very insecure ego of Trump. ICE murdered people, and they remain free to do more. The Congress prefers to arrest trans people but ignores heterosexuals who are pedophiles. The HAVES have more, while the HAVE-NOTS receive less and less.

 I do not want to live in the world ‘A Clockwork Orange’ depicts, I do not want to be forced to live only the life that the “state” chooses, I do not want to become so used to violence, criminality, banality, corruption, vanity, and selfishness. I grow more afraid each day, as we still permit a sick, both mentally and physically, to rule as if he were the God he assumes he should be. I grow frustrated as to how this movie ends!

Once again hypocricy

 What Republicans said about suspending gas tax under Biden. (The Hill)

Then: The move was not received well by Hawley, who said on a radio show that “this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of.” ( Sen. Josh Hawley) …. “What the administration, of course, is coming up with is yet another gimmick, another Band-Aid and something they know is dead on arrival up here in Congress,” (Sen. John Thune) …““If he just suspends this gas tax for a period of three months — first of all, he would end up extending the suspension before the midterms for the reasons you alluded to a minute ago — but even if it were just three months, there’s a lot of revenue that still has to — we still have to pay for the upkeep and the maintenance of our interstate transportation network,” (Sen. Mike Lee) (The Hill)

Now: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced plans to introduce a bill on social media Monday. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) followed up with her own message soon after. (POLITICO)

The words hypocrisy and double standards are no longer relevant when it comes to the Republican, opps, I mean, the Trump Party. It is useless to spend time calling out the men and women who refuse to admit that they are partisan hacks, ready and able to look the fool, act the fool, and remain foolish while stepping on their own words and pretending that, well that was then and this is now, and because this IS now, it is a whole different playing field, and set of rules.

I am certain that if someone had the time and patience, they could list almost eight dozen hypocritical and double standards promoted by the Republican Party. Are they liars? Are they Con Artists? Are they Snake Oil Salespeople? Are they Spinless? Are they the very worst DNA of a Politician? And then what does it say for those who encourage them and keep on voting them into office? 

 

 

hemorrhaging

 Trump is once again hemorrhaging, but like so many other times, he is not losing his own blood, but the blood from everyone else who is not Trump or his children and wife. Trump is imploding; his malignant narcissism, which has been his one and only reason to be, is being challenged, not of course by the Republican Party Politicians, or the Billionaire Tech Bros, or even the Corporate Media, nope, by none other than the Iranians. War is declared, war is won, then war is declared once again. Then a twelve-point, ten-point, one-point peace plan is delivered and disregarded. A cease-fire exists until it doesn’t. Threats of total annihilation are screamed across social media, with strict and severe deadlines demanded. And then once again the threats become nothing but a two-year-old boy whining about taking a nap, and his parents, in this case the Iranians, just tell him to stay in his room until his temper tantrum is finished.

Very few people in this nation, wielding power and prestige, have found the courage to place the freedoms and values of the American public above the Mob Boss demands of Trump. (If we as a nation survive this lunacy and cowardness, hopefully those who had placed their own fortunes above and beyond democracy will not only be publicly shamed, but the public will demand they go rot in some dark, dank corner of a cave.

Trump, they say, is tiring of the war; of course, he is, because the glitter of his military toys has stopped glistening for him. Because it is not his finances, he does nothing and lets our losses go on and on, forcing those of us who actually pay income taxes to foot the bill. Trump has once again demonstrated that he is bogus, bluster, and bull shit, but an excellent bully. Except this time, it seems the Iranians have called his bluff.

Trump is hemorrhaging, but it is not his blood which is pouring out; it is the blood of America and Americans, which, if not stopped, will actually bleed us to death! 

Radicals

 The White House's new counterterrorism strategy includes targeting "radically pro-transgender" groups as potential domestic threats, while omitting any mention of right-wing extremism. This approach has been criticized for misrepresenting the actual risks associated with violence and terrorism in the U.S. (Advocate)

Well, now, how convenient, ignore the wealthy billionaires who support Trump and are listed in the Epstein Files. They pose zero problems because they are heterosexuals, and everyone knows that if you have a whole lot of wealth, and with that whole lot of money, you support Republicans and especially Trump, you are no terrorist, let alone a domestic terrorist. But somehow, if you are a trans person, you are a bad person, a very naughty person out to demolish the integrity, safety, and democratic principles of this nation.  

“Radically pro-gender, if you use the word radically, then of course it means that no bathroom stall is safe, no little girl is safe, and your family values will be drained like your swimming pool by the end of summer.

Sebastian Gorka, the National Counter Terrorism senior director, outlined the policy in comments to The Daily Wire on Wednesday. “In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national counterterrorism activities will prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-gender, or anarchist, such as Antifa,” Gorka said. (American faith.com)

Forget the American Neo Nazi’s, ignore the Christian Nationalist groups, omit the Oath Keepers, play dumb regarding The Heritage Foundation or Turning Point USA…nope, they are just a bunch of white so-called Christians eating apple pie and painting picket fences white.

“Look Over There,” folks ignore anything that might resemble reality!

 

Another necessary suicide

 Cole Allen pleads not guilty to attempting to assassinate President Trump. (MS NOW)

I had no idea that Cole Allen had been placed on suicide watch while in jail. It seems that even after being tested with mental health professionals, and statements by Cole Allen’s attorneys with both groups stating that Cole Allen never acted in any way or communicated a desire to commit suicide, Trump’s private attorney, Jeanine Pirro, made the decision to keep Cole Allen in isolation and to be stripped searched, and of course, placed on suicide watch. Hmm. Makes one wonder don’t it, you know regarding that SUICIDE THINGIE!

I suppose if sudden SUICIDE worked in the Epstein case, perhaps two times is a charm, and the Trump goons could conveniently make the entire case against Cole Allen disappear. I suppose it’s better than having your wife fall down stairs. And I guess it is just Vladimir Putin-ish to have them just fall off balconies or die from some exotic poison! Just saying!

Oh yeah, also, Cole Allen’s attorneys made mention that the two Trump private attorneys, Todd (I can get down on my knees better than Bondi, Mr. President) Blanche, and the ex-FOX propagandist, Pirro, both said they were witnesses, so how the fuck can they act as judges or prosecutors? That is, unless this is an authoritarian Reich?

Ahead of his arraignment, Allen filed a motion seeking to disqualify Pirro and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche from involvement in the case, noting that both of them “were present at the scene during the alleged incident” and “have made statements indicating that they were witnesses to events at the Washington Hilton that evening.”  The defendant’s lawyers further observed in the motion that Trump is the primary alleged victim in the case and that the president and Pirro “have a well-document [sic] relationship for over three decades.” (MS NOW)

Ya' think we are gonna have Mid terms

 Todd Blanche, the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, has publicly supported the idea of having ICE agents at polling stations, stating that "illegals can't vote." This has sparked debate, with critics concerned about potential voter intimidation. (Daily Beast)

Two prominent things that any peon working within the Trump Reich does really well are when asked to tell a truth, they shout, or defer, or act like three-year-olds, almost saying, “If I am what, then what are you?” And the other blatant, sad, sick sociopathic habit they have is to project their evil intentions, never by admitting out loud they intend to commit one more form of fraud or crime, but to suggest someone else did it, or just for “shits and giggles,” propose the possibility of those actions.

Our already fragile Democracy is teetering further to the right. The Supreme Court has dismantled Voting Rights. Red States without voter approval have gerrymandered districts, eliminating most too many of their minorities from having a real chance of representation. And now, we have a real preview of EXACTLY what Trump and his personal and private Department of Injustice plan on doing to rig the Midterms: permit ICE to show up to polling places.  

Todd Blanche makes Pam Bondi look like a Nun, as he is eager to fuck over Americans in favor of not fucking up his chances of becoming Trump’s next Attorney General. Sure, there has been a blue wave, but Trump is placing lots of dams to make certain that wave is drowned out by his Fascist machinations.

Trump fears a Democrat Party majority, knowing the truth about his Epstein Pedophile actions will finally be found out, and Trump is well aware of the grift and fraud he and his Crime Family have committed.

I worry, and have worried that inch by inch step by step Trump has been empowered to dismantle my freedoms, and I worry more about is evil intentions as the Midterms arrive!

 

All that glitters is not gold

 MAGA Pastor's Defense Of New Golden Trump Statue Mocked With Biblical Comparison. “Saying ‘this is not a golden calf’ as you put up a golden calf doesn't cancel that fact out,” one user on X wrote. The statue, named “Don Colossus,” depicts Trump raising his fist in the air, similar to his gesture during the failed 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and was commissioned by a group of crypto investors. (HuffPost)

Literally, Oh My God. ““This statue is not about worship. It is about honor. It is a celebration of life and a powerful symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, courage, and the will to keep fighting for America,” Burns wrote on X. “It also reminds us of the hand of God over President Trump’s life. We thank God for preserving him and not allowing his life to be taken, not once, but multiple times.” Said Pastor Mark Burns.

This African American Pastor, without hesitation, or any sign of embarrassment, semblance of hypocrisy identified, a man a jury found guilty of sexual harassment, a three-time adulterer, a fraudster, a blatant liar, and an overt bigot and racist, as a patriot, a fighter for freedom, and someone his God is protecting. Holy shit, Pastor Mark Burns, have you no self-esteem, have you zero truth or honor, have you only disrespect for your religion and your God!

As an African American Pastor, Mark Burns, do you not witness the demise of voting rights for the African American population? Are you blind to the injustice embraced by the Republican Party and the MAGA movement? Literally Holy Shit, Sir.

“This is absolutely idol worship,” said former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.)

“This is literally described in the bible as a sin,” sports and politics commentator Keith Olbermann wrote. “Maybe you could read it, ‘Pastor.’ It’s available in all popular bookstores.”
