Ian

 For my friends and family and strangers who have felt the wrath of Hurricane Ian, I am so sorry for the burden you have carried, and hope, from my heart, that somehow, there is a way forward for all of you. Not being in the situation you may have found yourself, in during this Hurricane, I can never know, the emotions, stress, and angst you must have experienced, but I do hope, with one day less of that stress tomorrow becomes better. 

Somehow, however, your moments of complete turmoil have become an obnoxious presentation of the news for way too many TV personalities, who seem to crawl all over themselves to pretend that somehow they actually prioritize your sufferings over TV ratings. I have watched the Weather Channel (which should be called the ADVERTISEMENT/COMMERCIAL channel), MSNBC, and CNN, trying to just hear the facts, and discover if there was anything I could do to help. All I witnessed were TV goons trying to outdo the next clown, by standing in the rain, the wind, and the water, as if they were sharing the agony of REAL PEOPLE.

 

From Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel to the myriad of so-called reporters of CNN and MSNBC, each and every person made the coverage of Hurricane Ian, more about their own stupidity than actually homing in on the death and destruction all around them. It was like watching wanna-be superheroes, trying to show how many wind gusts they could muster, how many downed power lines they could fool, as they spent way too much time lamenting about conditions and ignoring the people. Of course, all three networks had to cut to a COMMERCIAL, no matter how severe the weather and the situation.

 

And as always, some, reporters had to then find a person or persons whose entire life had just been wrecked, vying for the audience's attention, only to NOT provide any relief as in THEIR OWN NETWORK helping out!  I can NOT imagine the consequences the victims of Ian are now going through, nor the mental and physical injuries. But, if I hear one more stupid as fuck TV personality say, “hunker down,” “once in a 1000-year event,” or, “most catastrophic disaster” I will implode. It is here, isn’t it clear, that CLIMATE CHANGE is for real? So, how come no EARNEST EFFORT is being made to make a difference?

203

 Two hundred and three House Republicans followed the guidance of Kevin McCarthy and refused to support a basic draft of electoral reforms that will ensure the votes of the American electorate are counted in future elections. McCarthy, and the same Republican leadership, who whipped its members to vote against the Electoral Reform Act, could be the SAME leadership in the House if the Republicans gain a MAJORITY after the November 2022 midterms. (MSNBC) 

203 current Republican Congress People, voted to NOT PROTECT DEMOCRACY for the future. 203 Republican Congress People, acting as rats, were led to try and diminish the one-person-one vote Democracy, by a Pied Piper named McCarthy. We fought a Revolution War for war from King George, and from the Tyranny of a Dictator, identifying as a King, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, or Trump. But if Democracy cannot assure the loser they will become a winner, then voting against the tenants of Democracy is a sick, sad, game.

 

It will not be the Economy/Inflation/Cost of Living that matters any longer when Freedoms/Liberties are diminished and destroyed; so how in the world can anyone who truly does care about the future, vote Republican!

and for the poor?

 I listened to the Emergency Directors for the counties of both Pinellas and Hillsborough located in Florida. As an observer of Hurricane Ian, I am relieved that I can comfortably sit back but frustratingly do very little in direct assistance. I remember living in Pittsburgh with below twenty-degree weather, Houston and my first hurricane and floods, Columbus with a few tornados, LA, with wildfires, and recently on the Cape with both a nor’easter and blizzard and I still can feel my pulse begin to race as those horrific weather disasters were headed my way. Natural Disasters are elongated nightmares, that haunt you while asleep and torture you while awake. Even sadder, it seems that those, every hundred years or once in a 1000-year disaster are more like every other month's occurrences. 

But as I listened to these public emergency officials, I also heard a very snide commentary regarding evacuation, and mainly, as I see it a real lack of priority for the poor. Both County officials urged people to get out of town. They BOTH said, and I paraphrase, go to family or friends at least 20 miles from your zone. If you do not have family or friends go to a hotel out of the hurricane's path. They then added, yet, we have Shelters, but they are not as comfy or spacious as a hotel room, and all you will get there is room for a cot and sharing space with many others. And the final touch was, you should seek shelter elsewhere.

 

I was blessed to either have my family, friends, and even the financial wherewithal to have faced those Natural Disasters, so if I needed to escape I could, and when I needed to rebuild I could. But IN AMERICA, we have people who can’t even manage pay-check to pay-check. We have folks alone, elderly without family. We have neighbors who no longer think that it “takes a village.” We have people who do not own a car, who rely on mass transit, and who fear opening their doors. 

 

I appreciate the efforts made by local Crisis Management Personnel, but damn, WHY, does it seem in matters of survival, having the MEANS can almost make it less of a disaster!

if not now...WHEN

 The far-right has emerged as kingmakers in ongoing coalition talks in Sweden. And on Sunday, Italian voters elected what will likely be a coalition of right-wing parties led by the far-right Brothers of Italy and the charismatic politico Giorgia Meloni. (Washington Post) 

HOW IS THIS EVEN A THING…AGAIN?

 

THE FAR RIGHT… be it, Fascism, fancying Dictatorial rulers, encouraging Christian Nationalism, Nazi-ism, the population where intelligence is minimal, the countries where the 1% wish to remain as Royalty, places from which the lack of personal responsibility is null and void, and the vile, venom of Bigotry, Bias and Xenophobia have begun to prosper…IT IS AS IF HISTORY never happened!

 

I have become LOST, BEWILDERED, AFRAID, and at first FROZEN.  The worst of humanity has seemed to gain power. The disgrace of humanity has seemed to triumph. The evil that mankind can do, seems to have taken first place in the race toward the future… I felt powerless as Trump became a Tyrant. I felt anxious as his cadre of clowns within the Republican Party claimed that lies were the truth, and fiction the new truth. 

 

No longer…I am one voice, and I will SCREAM, to be heard. I am now awaiting the echoes from the people, who refuse to acquiesce to the INADEQUATE,  who refuse to hear the HYPOCRITES, and who KNOW, that if not now, WHEN!

moral what now

 TEHRAN — The death last week of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, after Iran’s notorious morality police arrested her because they thought she was not dressed conservatively enough, sparked one of the most intense waves of popular anger the country has seen in years, as well as a deluge of condemnation from abroad. (LA Times) 

In Iran, they call it the Morality Police. In the United States, we identify it as the Republican State Governors and Republican State Legislatures. In Iran, the Moral Police are considered arms of a conservative Islamist Government. In the United States the Republican State’s Governors and Legislatures, consider themselves Conservative messengers of Jesus Christ. Iran has become a Theocratic-based Government. In the United States, at least on the paper, the original Constitution had been printed, and we have NO OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION. In Iran, Misogyny does not even exist, because the Iranian Muslim Clerics NEVER EVER believed women had any rights. In the United States, MISOGYNY is a part of the Republican Party Platform. If and when the GOP becomes the majority Party, MISOGYNY, will no longer exist because women will be considered property/chattel/ and have no rights!

 

THE MORALITY POLICE, need no guidance from GOD when they believe they are GOD!

A PLEHTORA

 Another Day, Another Legal Disaster for Donald Trump. On Tuesday, a federal judge pushed back against Trump’s lawyers for hinting that the documents might be declassified while refusing to say whether they definitely had been. In other words, Trump’s own lawyers balked at backing up claims their boss made loudly outside the courtroom. (VICE)

Donald Trump, 3 of his children sued for business fraud by New York AG Lawsuit alleges $250 million fraud, seeks to bar the Trumps from serving as executives of any company operating in New York (Washington Post)

Here are all 29 lawsuits Trump is facing now that he’s left office He faces more than a dozen lawsuits and investigations. He’s reportedly faced an estimated 4,000 cases, plus two (unsuccessful) impeachments, two (successful) divorces, six bankruptcies, and 26 sexual misconduct allegations. (Independent) 

 

So, let me ask the question, and please answer this question without the use of the following words: BIGOT/RACIST/TRAITOR/TREASON/COUP/HATER/LIAR/ THUG/CON ARTIST/FASCIST/ANTI-SEMITE/MYSOGINIST/PUTIN PUPPET. Please explain why as an American concerned about HONESTY/INTEGRITY/LIBERTY/FREEDOM/DEMOCRACY/EQUALITY/RIGHTS/JUSTICE, you still are a supporter of a man who so far has demonstrated contempt toward the future of this nation via a plethora of criminally intent actions.

 

And, let me ask this question for the Christians who suddenly believe Trump speaks for Jesus, exactly what has Jesus told you that even sounds remotely TRUMP-like? And for the Jews, like Mariam Adelson and Bernie Marcus, what part of TRUMPS embrace of the Oath Keepers and QAnon tell you he actually cares for the Jew?

 

Oh yeah, for those undecided, or not certain voting matters, what part of AUTHROTIARIANISM/ and DICTATORSHIP is enticing?

the Devil

 Sad: Trump-Endorsed GOP Candidates Fear Their Association With Trump Will Turn Off Sane Voters

On account of the election lies, and the classified documents, and the QAnon business, and the generally unhinged manner in which he goes about life. (Vanity Fair)

 

So, AMERICA…these THUGS want it both ways. ENDORSE ME TRUMP, but Holy Shit, you are so TOXIC, I now realize your ENDORSEMENT is a contract with the DEVIL.  The rot and ruin, the vile and venomous, can only thrive and grow, if fed and nurtured. IT AIN’T the HYPOCRITES, THE POLITICIANS who can fuck over America, by themselves, BUT those who VOTE and SUPPORT them. Oz from and Mastriano PA, Vance from Ohio, Masters and Lake from Arizona, Buldoc from New Hampshire, to name a few very dangerous and delusional wanna-be’s all of them and others breathe the oxygen from the MAGA/Q-ANON/Christian Nationalists who wish Democracy would just DIE. Add to that the people who still think ELECTIONS DO NOT MATTER.

 

Bad is evil, Evil thrives when good is ignored. Good must never be forgotten!

Then and NOW

 As Trump speaks at Ohio rally, crowd responds with arms raised, fingers pointed in the air. The crowd cheered and dozens of people raised their arms in the air with their index finger pointed in what appeared to be a salute to Trump as he spoke. 

The music playing in the background, according to the New York Times, is called “Wwg1wga” — an abbreviation for the QAnon slogan "Where we go one, we go all." -September 17, 2022 (USA Today)

 

By autumn 1923, some members of the Nazi Party were using the rigid, outstretched right arm salute to greet Hitler, who responded by raising his own right hand crooked back at the elbow, palm opened upwards, in a gesture of acceptance. In 1926, the Nazi salute was made compulsory for all party members. (Wikipedia)

 

Trump’s rise has reshaped the GOP, driving out some of its constituent elements while bringing in previously excluded factions, the ranks of which include virulent antisemites. America First” — both the slogan and the ideas surrounding it (emanating from the very antisemitic Charles Lindbergh and then used by Pat Buchanan) — inevitably excited antisemites. In 2016, Trump tweeted out an image using a Star of David to symbolize Hillary Clinton’s “corruption. (New York Magazine)

 

One people, one empire, and one leader was the slogan coined by Hitler when he followed his aggressive foreign policy. Adolf Hitler came to power with the goal of establishing a new racial order in Europe dominated by the German “master race.”

A Hitler policy was the destruction of the Jews: first their elimination from Germany and then from Europe. For almost six years Germany encouraged Jewish emigration, persecuting them so severely through government-sanctioned laws and raising the volume of anti-Semitism (topper.com)

 

How convenient for the current crop of Republican leadership to persuade its cultish and often times history illiterates, to NOT read about HISTORY, all the while, THOSE SAME POLITICIANS use the facts and evidence from HISTORY to create the same kind of chaos and consequences from the past. Am I making too big and bold a suggestion to suggest that Fascist game plans and playbooks from the past have morphed into American  Fascist of the present…WELL, YES, I AM…please prove me wrong, while you can!

A Bigger Lie

 Republicans in key battleground races refuse to say they will accept results

Of the 19 GOP candidates questioned by The Washington Post, a dozen declined to answer or refused to commit. Democrats overwhelmingly said they would respect the results. (Washington Post)

 

I must beg the question. Is my generation the last to have witnessed Democracy succeed? I am NOT trying to be OVERLY DRAMATIC…rather OVERTLY PRAGMATIC. “The Big Lie,” has not lost any of its hot air from the Republican Cultists who are itching for a Civil War. “The Big Lie” has not been overwhelmingly denied by so-called non-MAGA Republicans, currently serving in Congress. “The Big Lie,” is now becoming the DEFAULT, for way too many GOP wanna-be’s w seemingly more inclined to embrace Fascism than to embody Democracy! 

 

I, WE, can scoff. Pout and simmer, calling these IDIOTS, IDIOTS but nonetheless, THEY are inserting “The Big Lie,” and the more they do, the weaker the TRUTH and the pillars of Democracy become. This stuff frightens me!

WRONG

 “DO NOT LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY, I WILL SAY WHAT I FEEL IS NECESSARY FOR ME TO SLITHER AND SLIDE EVEN AS I SLANDER MYSELF…”CONVENIENCE AHH THAT IS THE MOTHER OF ALL CONCERNS, BECAUSE IF IT IS CONVENIENT FOR ME TO LIE, WHY NOT, ITS MY LIFE THAT MATTERS AND NOT YOURS…” HYPOCRISY IS BOTH WITHIN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER AND THE FORKED TONGUE OF THE SPEAKER, HOW CAN IT BE HYPOCRITICAL IF I REFUSE TO ADMIT I SAID THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE, ITS YOUR INTERPRETATION AND THAT STINKS OF OPINION…” I just made up those quotes, but I am certain, with the array of DECEIVING DERELICTS, identifying as GOP Politicians, each and every invented quote will fit the actions and comments of those PHONIES 

Governing principles aren’t important to a post-policy party. Lawmakers like Rubio and Graham start with the answer — sharply curtail Americans’ reproductive rights — and work backward. (MSNBC)

 

States’ Rights, as if, for Little Marco and Little Lindsey. So ONE WEEK AGO, SO ABSOLUTE… Abortion/Same-Sex Marriage/ Voting Rights/ LGBTQ Rights does anyone in their sane and sound mind, ACTUALLY think, that if the GOP gains the majority in Congress, any state that does not have a Christian version of the Taliban in their State Legislatures, will stand a chance to promote THAT State’s rights…WRONG!

FOOLS

 “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.” ― George W. Bush 2002.

“'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore”/ “We are going to the Capitol” ------ Donald Trump, January 62021

 

“If a thing like that happened, I would have no prohibition against running,” Trump said in an interview with conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt. “I think if it happened, I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before. I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it.” ---------- Donald Trump, September 15, 2002

 

He fooled no one but the Republicans in the Senate once! He did not fool his Seditious Coup-loving MAGA, and he remained President


He is about to fool us again, RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES…. I WANT TO KNOW if we ALL will remain FOOLS!his ultimate of hoaxes,” Trump said.

NOW THIS

 In the race to the very bottom of the barrel, Despicable DeSantis demonstrates the modern-day version of Politicians from within the Republican Party, trying to OUT-TRUMP, TRUMP, using the evil and mentally deranged actions and machinations to ASSURE the BASE group of voters know how SICK and SAD the GOP can be and WILL BE! 

When two planeloads of migrants from Venezuela arrived in Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday, they had no idea where they were or where they could go to find shelter. A woman called Perla had lured them onto the plane with promises of a journey to Boston and expedited work papers, NPR reports. plight provokes comparisons to kidnap or human trafficking; either way, the culprit is Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida. Although the migrants had been in Texas, DeSantis paid for the flight and had them dropped like refuse a world away. (Intelligencer)

 

This PR stunt will work magic for DeSantis encouraging the hateful hordes OF MAGA/SEDITIOUS/COUP INSIGHTING Traitors to support his candidacy for Governor and of course the Presidency! HOW LOW CAN YOU, seems to be the theme of the Republicans! Of course, if any of these folks had been a Zygote of Fetus, their kidnapping, and human trafficking would likely have stalled until they were no longer inside the womb.

 

President Joe Biden said, “Instead of working with us on solutions, Republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props,” he said. “What they’re doing is simply wrong, it’s un-American, it’s reckless.” (Washington Post) And yet, we still are told, that the Republicans have a chance to win majorities in the House and Senate!

we the who?

 Written in 1787, ratified in 1788, and in operation since 1789, The United States Constitution is the world's longest surviving written charter of government. Its first three words – “We The People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. (Senate.gov)

 

The Supreme Court is the Nation's highest court. Eight Associate Justices and one Chief Justice comprise the membership of the Court. Like all Federal judges, Supreme Court Justices serve lifetime appointments on the Court, in accordance with Article III of the United States Constitution. (Google)

 

Federal Judges: They are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, pursuant to the Appointments Clause of Article Two of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution gives federal judges life tenure, and they hold their seats until they die, resign, or are removed from office by impeachment. The premise behind instituting lifetime appointments was to reinforce the judiciary's role as an independent branch of the U.S. Government. (Google)

 

WHY! A life time. A whole lot longer than the President who appointed them is permitted to remain in office, BUT so far, because the Senate has NO TERM-LIMITS, almost as long as many Senators who, for POLITICAL REASONS AND MOTIVATION, vote for them to remain in the office!

 

WHY! A LIFE TIME! The same people, for decades to come, remain free and able to continue a prejudice, and irrational jurisdiction not based on the values and requirements of current society, BUT on stale and personal bias…demonstrated in the past few years based on Religious Dogma and Plain and Pitiful Politics.

 

If, “We The People” – affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. (Senate.gov). was the intention, but “We The People” are replaced by LIFE TIME people, who EXACTLY is it with the power to govern?

TEACHING

 Wanted: Teachers. No training necessary.

As schools struggle to find educators, some no longer require college degrees driven in part by low teacher pay, cuts to school spending and less interest in the teaching profession. The moves to address those problems today come as right-wing politicians paint schools and universities as bastions of liberal ideology. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who had previously called a college degree “a magic piece of paper which likely would have cost too much anyway,” (Washington Post)

 

My head has exploded! Honestly, reading this article, was the final stick of TNT inserted into my head, and I am writing this as BAND-AIDS is keeping my brain from falling onto my computer! I usually try to have a point in mind in a direction when I BLOG, but somehow THIS article has completely disrupted an alignment of thought.

 

A few things, of course, I start with the sheer HYPOCRISY of people like DeSantis whose education includes Naval Justice School, Harvard Law, and Yale University. Had he a bunch of average Floridians in his elementary and high school, acting as teachers, DeSantis would be, well just one more or less, DeSantis! Then I float to the words “right-wing politicians paint schools and universities as bastions of liberal ideology…” Facts, History, Truth, and Education itself, suddenly are dangerous and anti-American… Many of these right-wing-wing-nuts, had limited education and feared smart people, OR, like DeSantis, had a great education and understand that smart people are more difficult to lead off a cliff!

 

And then FINALLY, as for today's RANT… Putin may be losing the war in Ukraine, but HE is certainly winning a war in the United States under his General Trump and his ARMY of CULTISTS, who have successfully opened a rift in this nation. From “THE BIG LIE/JANUARY 6TH/ELECTION DENIERS/A REPUBLICAN PARTY more interested in their careers than Democracy/RACISM/ANTI-SEMATISM/MISOGYNY openly being expressed and desired to a SUPREME COURT tearing down the WALLS BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE, the United States is teetering and almost imploding.

SOME SNARK

 I am so over the fact that the obvious is just SO OBVIOUS, and when Politicians or Journalists, pretend they just had a EUREKA MOMENT, thinking that their answer to THE OBVIOUS, is suddenly GENIUS, when in fact, it is so OBVIOUS, I want to scream!!!!! 

 

“If I were to be asked what the highest price tag or highest value might be on what kind of classified US government information, certainly among the top of my answers would be nuclear-related information.” (Vanity Fair) ME: “LIKE DUH”

 

The shirt-loving Trump ally [Steve Banon] declared at a Manhattan courthouse Thursday: “They will never shut me up, they’ll have to kill me first.” (Vanity Fair) ME: “OKAY”

 

Trump and DOJ Clash Over Special Master Picks, Process, and Payment

The two sides will “advise the Court about their respective positions on the other party’s proposed candidates” on Monday. (Vanity Fair) ME: “A case of Avoidance. A case of, of course”

 

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas presented Dr. Simone Gold with a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol, which she stormed during the 2021 insurrection. (HUFF POST) ME: “A mess from Texas, “The caller is inside the house”

 

Many Student Borrowers Played By The Rules, But Their Debts Only Grew (HUFF POST) ME: “Give me Capitalism or give me debt”

 

Cobb, who represented Trump during his first impeachment, said he's "incapable of acting other than in his perceived self-interest, or for revenge." (HUFF POST) ME: “Suddenly your eyes are wide open.”

 

Democrats Determined Not To Let Republicans Downplay Their MAGA Extremism (HUFF POST) ME: As if this is Rocket Science”

Nine Eleven

 I did not lose family or friends during the ACTS OF TERRORISM, on 9/11. I still grieved. I was astounded, shocked, and torn inside out during the initial hours of the unfolding events on 9/11 feeling lost, fearful, confused, worried, and horrified. I remember the fright of thinking this is Doomsday; the end of any security has arrived! 

I was living in Newport Beach CA, with no family members around, my best friends seemed too far away, and I wondered what happens next, what happens when actual war will break out.  Am I brave enough to act instead of reacting? Am I now only going to be on the defense weakened by fear and lack of information, or might I actually be nimble enough to take the offense, despite the media almost shutting down, leaving me with more unanswered questions than answers! I was the Executive Director of the Orange County JCC, and my immediate responsibility was to the members of my JCC, and even as my angst grew faster and quicker with each passing fact of death and destruction, I had to make sure those in my care were taken care of. (No hero I, but at least the ability to take care of others made me feel I still had some control of my life)

 

Finally, at home, my drapery shut, door double bolted, thinking some invading force might enter my apartment complex, candles at the ready, CNN tuned into on the TV set in my living room, CBS blaring on the TV set in my bedroom, (wishing Walter Cronkite was alive and explaining to me what ACTUALLY was happening), I sat. Every single END OF THE WORLD movie I had ever watched came rushing into my brain as if a tornado had landed, and I remember running to my kitchen to check for food, thinking what if the Invasion is here. I, like a madman, found every possible container to hold water, wondering if eventually that source of life would also be attacked. I had a Nokia Cell phone, provided to me as the Executive Director, and way back when, I still remembered the phone numbers of my family and friends. For some minutes the phone connected other moments nothing. My landline was a gold mine, I spoke to the people I loved.

 

Until our present-day morphs into HISTORY, and we then can reflect upon its myriad of machinations, the moment's inch by and hours seem like years and the days an eternity. I have to wonder, what exactly has been learned from 9/11. I worry that those who refuse to acknowledge history as a Book of Knowledge, who instead just see it as Propaganda, will willfully choose ignorance as a guide, leading us to repeat and repeat and repeat!

TWEETIE

 Dr. Oz claims he has "tremendous empathy" for Senate opponent John Fetterman and then immediately accuses Fetterman of "lying about his health" to make voters "feel sorry for him." (Vanity Fair)

 

Ingraham: And the issue of the nuclear capabilities of other countries. The CIA has its own website that gives a lot of this information (Vanity Fair)

 

Biden does an impression of Republicans trying to take credit for legislation they didn’t vote for lol (Vanity Fair)

 

I do not Tweet, PHEW, because I know if I did, I would spend way too much time being PISSED OFF and SOUNDING OFF! Every now and then I will indulge my interest in some politician's view of the world and of course their enablers the highly paid entertainers and purveyors of HATE from FOX. And when I read a real Republican kind of comeback from the Democrats I will also smile and add it’s about time!

 

THE GREAT OZ, from New Jersey, pretending to be from Pennsylvania, once again demonstrated his lack of …WELL EVERYTHING… Empathy is just one more emotion for which HE has no regard! OZ the CON has dug so deep in the Republican Bull Shit, that he has added even more odor to the smell he admitted his daughters do not like!

 

LAURA NASTY INGRAHAM wants to become the Tokyo Rose from WWII, Pyongyang Sally from the Korean War, and the Hanoi Hannah from the Viet Nam War. All three women represented English-speaking propagandists who lied, made false claims, and found fiction to sound better than truth. All three spoke English and encouraged the Troops as well as any American listening to pretend EVIL was not the Enemy, but the American Government!

 

BUT then, President Biden has called out the GOP Senators, who argued any good news for the average American is bad news for the country, and especially for their Puppet Masters. They of course DISS the shit out of any proposal to help Americans prosper but then do their VOODOO act of pretending they were never against the thing they WERE VERY DEFINITELY against. President Biden called them out, let those Americans who care, hear a bit of the truth!

2 BILLION DOLLARS

 2 Billion Dollars…Jared Kushner received 2 Billion Dollars from the Saudi Government. And now with the REVELATIONS regarding his DADDY-IN-LAW, stealing Nuclear secrets not only from the US, but another foreign country, HERE IS MY CONSPIRACY THEORY----based on nothing but the fact that Jared’s DADDY-IN-LAW cannot be trusted, and throughout Jared’s tenure as some kind of Bull Shit advisor to TRUMP, JARED cannot be trusted!

What in the world…let me say that again with more chagrin, piss, and vinegar, WHAT IN THE WORLD could Jared Kushner have, offer to have, and provide for ANYONE worth 2 BILLION DOLLARS? Now, let me add, what in the world, a little more precise with venom and vinegar, WHAT IN THE WORLD would the Saudis need that they already cannot afford, to pay anyone, and IN PARTICULAR, Jared 2 BILLION DOLLARS??????

 

I believe, based on the vile treasonists, treacherous, greed, and gluttony of TRUMP and his offspring, and those either married to or engaged to his offspring, Jared, in cahoots with DADDY-IN-LAW stole the ISRAELI NUCLEAR SECRETS, because the Saudi Royal Murderous Family happens to share land in the Middle East with Israel. I believe that with the number of weapons paid for by the United States, knowing how much of a common enemy the US and Israel share with Iran and Syria, Hezbollah, the US has a WHOLE LOT OF ISRAELI NUCLEAR SECRETS!

 

Jared may be Jewish, but when it comes to power and tons of money, Jared, I believe has no affinity for anyone but Jared. If Jared cared about the Jews of this nation, let alone the Jews of the world, HE and his WIFEY, IVANKA, would have made a lot of NOISE every time TRUMP embraced the NEO-NAZI!

 

I had to wonder who was it that TRUMP truly cared little for, the Jews (except when accepted tons of money from the ADELSON’s and Bernie Marcus. Who in the world has enough money to make TRUMP wet his pants, The SAUDI. And why in any WORLD, would anyone hand JARED a check for 2 BILLION DOLLARS!

and justice for whom

 “…and justice for all…” 

Not when the justice is handed down from corrupt judges appointed by a corrupt President…

 

Not when the justice is based on the bias of Religious dogma…

 

Not when the justice is poured from pure racist dogma, anti-semitic propaganda, misogynist hatred…

 

Not when the justice is as poisonous as the putrid actions of the inferior feeble minds obeying the wishes of a devious Cult Leader…

 

Even as the revelations spill out and smother the nation with the truth about the Enemy of the State, TRUMP, “WE THE PEOPLE,” remain helpless to stop ENEMY NUMBER ONE, TRUMP, from going to prison for TREASON, and TYRANNY.

IS IT

 A Trump-appointed judge granted Donald Trump's special master request, thereby delaying parts of the Justice Department's criminal probe. “When you allow Republicans to control the courts you get nothing,” legal expert Elie Mystal says to Joy Reid, adding his view that, “Trump judges do not believe in the rule of law.” (MSNBC) 

If this IS true, and from my point of view, I believe it IS true, I have to wonder, if, in fact, TRUMP will remain above the law, BECAUSE there seem to be two laws in America one for MAGA/TRUMP/REPUBLICANS and one for anyone who IS not a MAGA/TRUMP/REPUBLICAN.

 

Please talk me out of this CRAZY ordeal. Please comfort me with wise words of truth, hope, fact, and reality from which you can explain how TRUMP had not been impeached, never permitted to run for any office. How TRUMPS actions which have led to attempted coups, talk of Civil War IS, and yet he is still pretending to run for office, or worse, yet INTENDS to run for office!

                                                                                                                                                      

Two sets of standards, two sets of law…HELP me understand how justice and honor, fair and law SUCCEED!

a JUDGE!

 "The Court is mindful that restraints on criminal prosecutions are disfavored but finds that these unprecedented circumstances call for a brief pause to allow for neutral, third-party review to ensure a just process with adequate safeguards." The judge, Trump-appointed District Judge Aileen Cannon, has granted former President Donald Trump's request to appoint a "special master" to review materials that the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago last month. (information via CNN)

I am but a non-educated in legal matters citizen. I am, however, a citizen, growing so tired of exceptions made on behalf of Trump, who has a history of breaking laws. Of course, Judge Cannon, this IS unprecedented, because prior to this, NO PRESIDENT, has ever stolen Top Secret Documents from MY government. Trump had been asked to return ALL of the documents, but he CHOOSE not to. Trump’s cadre of lawyers told the government on behalf of Trump, that ALL documents would be returned, they were NOT. Top Secret Documents were not secured, interspersed with all kinds of other items, seemingly taken from the White House, and NOT considered Trump's personal property. What exactly, Judge Cannon are the safeguards for MY country? And how long will it take Judge Cannon to select a “special master”? Seriously, Judge Cannon, one has to wonder, whose concern you have in mind with a judgment like this!

not to amuse

 Some Sunday musings are NOT too amusing!

 

Flash flood emergency in northwestern Georgia at least 1-in-200 year event. (CNN) Temperature records broken as 'truly dangerous' heat wave slogs on in California (USA Today) A New Mexico City Has Less Than 1 Month Of Water Left (HuffPost) California Heat Wave Sparks Wildfires, Blackout Concerns (Wall Street Journal) 

 

If this were some APOCALYPTIC movie, even a schlocky low-budget movie, BY NOW, some nerdy professor along with a beautiful woman of course wearing glasses with her hair in a bun, accompanied by a high school kid, always being bullied and some curmudgeon older guy, would have identified the ULTRA WEALTHY POLITICIANS along with their Posh Puppet Masters, discovered the plan by the Politicians and their Puppet asters to terminate most of the humans on the Earth for some kind of absurd profit.  But this IS REALITY, and it seems no one is taking droughts, flooding, rise in sea level, and high ozone seriously enough.

 

Republicans Have Realized That Forcing People to Give Birth Is Wildly Unpopular (VICE) Fascist MAGA Republicans are miffed at being called out by Biden (LA Times) “They Were Being Jerked Around”: Former AG Bill Barr Defends FBI Search Warrant Of Mar-A-Lago (Vanity Fair) Trump repeats praise of "smart" Putin, touts Xi's "iron fist" rule of China (Newsweek) Are MAGA Republicans "semi-fascist" or full-on fascists? (LGBTQ Nation)

 

Interesting, how way too many REPUBLICANS, begin to wilt and worry when FINALLY called out regarding their HATRED for almost anyone who is NOT them. And then when it is one of their own calling them out, REPUBLICANS seem to want to eat their own! MAGA’s hate being told they might be Fascists…Pro-Abortion REPUBLICANS, suddenly lose their mind and become indignant when their Democrat challengers state the truth about GOP candidates hating women’s rights. Now BILLY BARR is astonished that TRUMP could, would, and did steal TOP SECRET documents, as if throughout BILLY BARR’S tenure as private TRUMP DETECTIVE, BILLY never noticed such erratic and crazy behavior from his boss. And as if REPUBLICANS are still living inside Trump's ass, they see nothing wrong with the BRO-Romance TRUMP still has for fucking Fascist dictators, like Xi and Putin!

Plan B

 Late last month, a so-called “trigger law” went into effect following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade earlier this year. The trigger law makes it a felony to perform an abortion in the state with narrow exceptions when the pregnant person’s life is at risk. 

“We want to support those victims, but also those victims can access health care immediately, as well as to report it,” Abbott told The Dallas Morning News and KXAS-TV’s “Lone Star Politics” in a segment obtained by the Morning News that will air on Sunday. 

“By accessing health care immediately, they can get the Plan B pill that can prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place,” he added. 

Plan B is an oral contraceptive that is taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or a “contraceptive accident” to prevent pregnancy, according to the product’s website. The pill prevents an egg from being released from the ovary to prohibit fertilization. 

The Republican governor also told “Lone Star Politics” that reporting a rape to law enforcement “will ensure that the rapist will be arrested and prosecuted.”

However, very few rape cases result in an arrest. While there were 13,327 reported rapes in Texas in 2020, there were only 1,828 arrests for rape, according to the state’s department of public safety. (THE HILL)

 

“As the song goes in the movie Mary Poppins: And every task you undertake

Becomes a piece of cake

A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

The medicine go down-wown

The medicine go down

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

In a most delightful way…” (Spoonful of Sugar/Richard and Robert Sherman)

 

GREG ABBOTT has a PLAN for all you Gals, Lassies, Ladies, and Girls who have been raped, by your Dad, Bro, Grandpap, Uncle, or complete Stranger, just go to the Pharmacy the moment THE RAPIST is done planting his sperm inside your vagina, and get yourself a script for PLAN B. No need to worry about the RAPE first things first, just pick yourself up, brush yourself off, jump in your car, or call an UBER, and get to a pharmacy…(you might gotta look up where to find a 24-hour Pharmacy if the Rape happens after store hours) Easy, breezy, according to GREG ABBOTT, no need to worry about that zygote. And then call the PO-LEECE, cause by all means as history has proven it's once again Easy, breezy to send that Rapist to jail.

RECUSE

 Revelations that Justice Clarence Thomas’s spouse, GINNI THOMAS, sent at least 29 messages to Trump aides about overturning the 2020 election added to numerous examples of her sometimes outlandish partisan lobbying and Justice Thomas’s not recusing himself in cases involving matters about which she lobbied.

Whether to recuse is a judicial decision, reviewable only by a higher court, and there’s no court higher than the Supreme Court. The imbroglio may, however, reawaken interest in a legislative proposal that surfaced a decade ago during previous recusal controversies. (Brookings)

 

Justice Thomas’s failure to recuse may be wrong but it’s not judicial misconduct (fixgov.com)

 

So much to be AGGRAVATED about, to be PISSED about, to be ASTONISHED about, to CONSIDER IMMORAL BEHAVIOR, to ERUPT IN HIVES, CHOKED WITH ANGST, and to wonder, EXACTLY HOW SUPREMELY ASSININE IN WHICH THE CURRENT SUPREME COURT HAS MORPHED!

 

CLARENCE THOMAS has decided to shit all over AMERICA. He has decided that his shit don’t stink and continues dumping his rot and ruin all over the morals, values, and civilized laws which at one time held high the standards of democracy. MRS. CLARENCE THOMAS is a member of the TRUMP COUP CONSPIRATORS, she has, (ON RECORD), demonstrated her disdain, and disregard for democracy, and is guilty of pursuing an illegal goal to void a legal and fair election. And who, but her HUBBY, CLARENCE, has been and will be one of NINE people to either deaminate the truth or embrace the lies! HOW CAN THIS BE?

Ranked, rankled

 RANKED CHOICE: Voters pick their member of Congress by ranking the candidates, and a write-in candidate if they choose to do so, in order of preference. If a candidate wins a majority of votes on the first round, he or she wins the race. But if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated, and his or her supporters’ second-choice votes will go to the remaining candidates. The rounds continue until two candidates are left, and the candidate with the most votes wins. ---------- (NBC NEWS) 

----------After Democrat Mary Peltola defeated Sarah Palin in Alaska's special election Wednesday, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., discredited the voting system used by Alaska voters that they chose to implement in their state.

Cotton tweeted that Alaska's new ranked choice voting system "is a scam to rig elections," casting doubt on the outcome of the process to fill the seat of late GOP Rep. Don Young. ------------------ In response to Cotton, retiring Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., tweeted, "Ranked choice voting gives all Americans a voice and not the extremes of a party. So youd be outta luck. No wonder you don’t like it." (NBC NEWS)

 

GET READY MERIKA’ ON YOUR MARK, MERIKA’, SET AND… watch as the maniacs like Palin, Oz, Mastriano, Vance, Rubio, DeSantis, all compare voting for Democrats as somehow the voting system in this country becoming RIGGED, when and if they lose their Political Races. It ain’t FORESHADOWING any longer, just plain rotten rhetoric, offered by scheming SCHMUCKS, who know they can only win by complaining DEMOCRACY is RIGGED against them when they lose! AND NEVER EVER are the same elections QUESTIONED if they win!!!!!! I ask, perhaps acting way to naïve, when Tuesday, November 8, 2022, arrives, will AMERICANS finally demonstrate their affinity with Democracy, OR, will the MERICANS’ find one more way to eat away at the foundation of Democracy!!!!!
