DEFINTIONS and being DEAF

  

TREASON: Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance. This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government. SEDITION: Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority. TYRANNY: a nation under a cruel and oppressive government. cruel, unreasonable, or arbitrary use of power or control. 2020-2021 REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS: ALL OF THE ABOVE, AND DESIRING A COUP OVER THE CONSTITUTION, AND DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRACY!

Republican representative Madison Cawthorn suggested that assault rifles must stay legal so that civilians can overthrow the U.S. government, i.e. his current employer. Appearing on Newsmax to discuss AR-15s and military weapons, the North Carolina lawmaker told host Chris Salcedo that “The Second Amendment is not written for sporting. The Second Amendment is so that if a tyrannical government ever wants to rise up, we can stop them.” Then he made a…rather strange historical reference! “If anybody ever wants to say, ‘Oh, well you know what? Citizens with a few small firearms would never be able to stop the federal government,’ I absolutely disagree, he said. “Ask the Viet Cong how they handled the Marines and the Army in Vietnam.” (Vanity Fair)

I am AFRAID. My Country is being held hostage by RADICAL POLITICIANS, who are supported by just enough, RADICAL ENEMIES OF THE STATE, who identity as THE REPUBLICAN BASE. I am SCARED. My Nation is being torn apart in BROAD DAYLIGHT. My Democracy is being attacked, RIGHT BEFORE ALL OF OUR EYES, left weakened and bloody! I witness the death and doom each, and every day; and yet somehow, the DEMOCRAT PARTY in power (for the moment) seems to be leisurely taking their time in CHANGING THIS COURSE OF DESTRUCTION. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY

PATRIOT: a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors. I am TERRIFIED that the definition of THIS word is forever gone.

 

GASLIGHTING

 GASLIGHT/ Released May 4, 1944, Directed by George Cukor/ Screenplay by Van Drutan-Reisch-Bladerston…Besides its theme of emotional abuse and manipulation, Gaslight also possesses a political message, which still applies to many of nowadays social issues—especially the way leaders make promising statements to deceive ordinary Americans, fooling them into believing in a corrupted party, spreading out misleading fantasies as fact.

 

Another day AND more REPUBLICAN lies, laden with loopholes, lunacy, and the larvae from the corpse of MAGA maniacs and the puppetry or Putin surround this nation. Trump never went away because the fog of HIS bigotry, bias, and bogus, remains thick, and the ideals of hate and scorn rise in pockets of smelly sulfur. You know where the INSURECTIONISTS linger because truth lays dead, morals have already rusted, and DEMOCRACY has decayed. And now, HISTORY, which in the past many decades relied on just the written word, but NOW has its own audio and video to accompany it; is the new target of GASLIGHTING, and what we saw heard, watched, and witnessed is to be accused of PARTISIANSHIP! 

 

Once again the BAD PEOPLE, the MAD PEOPLE, the SAD PEOPLE are loudly and proudly demanding that all actions are not equal, and any actions taken by…THE PROUD BOYS, THE GOOD NAZI’S, THE MAGA, THE GQP BASE, THE KKK, THE CONFEDERATION WILL RISE AGAIN, THE MILITIA FRONTED BY THE 1% REPUBLICAN DOMESTIC TERROR DONOR BASE, RUPPERT MURDOCH'S MENAGERIE OF FAUX NEWS MALEVOLENT ENTERTAINERS AND EVANGELICAL PAY TO PRAY PREACHERS…is what makes for PATRIOTS and PATRIOTISM. The DIN of the DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP in fighting back at this GASLIGHTING PROPAGANDA is not only disturbing but deadly destructive!

 

A MESS IN TEXAS

  

Ya ’all, just seem to MESS WITH TEXAS, and MESS AND MESS AND MESS… Ya ‘all play politics, self-serving, injustices to others for the welfare of JUST yourself IN TEXAS…

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced Wednesday the state budget would provide $250 million as a "down payment" to help fund the construction of a wall at the state's border with Mexico. Abbott said the $250 million in funding was "more than enough to hire a project manager and contractor to begin building the wall," declaring: "Texas will build a border wall in our state to help secure our border." (AXIOS)… OR… The Electric Reliability Council of Texas released a statement asking Texans to conserve power, which includes a request to set their thermostats to 78 degrees or higher, turn off lights and pool pumps, and avoid using large appliances such as ovens, washing machines, and dryers. This comes after a devastating winter storm season which left millions without electricity and heat for days, resulting in an estimated 700 deaths. (The Mary Sue)

what are WE waiting for!

 In 1968. Soviet forces had invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the reform movement known as the Prague Spring. The continued presence of Soviet troops helped the communist hard-liners, who were joined by Husák, to defeat Dubček and the reformers.

 

Working as a counselor at a resident camp, was for me, moments in time for which, to this day, time stands still, and I can still hear the echoes of our camp song, as we watched the light of each summer’s night reaching its end! Lots of stories, the trials, and tribulations of recent high school graduates along with college-aged colleagues working in a summer place, remote, removed, reeling in romances, and adding skills to life’s journeys leaving imprints as personal as the fingerprints from which we all are born.

 

It was 1968, she was a few years older than me, and way more of a HIPPY, than I could ever be, but she had freedom of purpose, an adventure I wish belonged to my personality. Janet wanted world peace, like and love, and would never take NO, as any form of an answer; and when NO was provided as an answer, she pretended NO ONE ever said it! Janet and I were a thing, one of the couples at camp, who throughout the summer breezes, the isolated confines of a few acres of woods and forests, discovered the kind of passion innocence, promotes, and in which youth becomes invigorated. To live at a Resident Camp for 8 weeks is to find a paradise and remain aloof, alive, and alone, TOGETHER.  In 1968 news of perhaps a beginning of an escalation toward a third world war loomed in the headlines of the real world, from which we were sheltered, but eventually seeped into our hidden environment. People in Czechoslovakia were being murdered just because they preferred DEMOCRACY, over AUTOCRACY. Janet could hardly restrain herself from hearing of this injustice and decided she needed to leave camp and do something to help the Czech’s and to let FREEDOM RING. 

 

Janet remained at camp and when it was time to sing the song WILL I SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER, she flew to New York and took a volunteer gig with Amnesty International, and landed in Prague. I received a postcard from Janet…It read: “When we ignore NOW and replace it with the word TOMORROW, nothing will be left to accomplish or conquer; instead, WE will just regret never taking action.” Wake up AMERICANS, right before our eyes, the rug, the furniture, and actually, our entire house is BEING PULLED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH US. What are WE waiting for!

 

 

less than more

 “More, more, more

How do you like it? How do you like it?
More, more, more
How do you like it? How do you like it?
More, more, more
How do you like it? How do you like it?” (More, More, More/Gregg Diamond)

 

MORE death by guns. More resentment toward herd immunity. MORE Republican State legislatures, promoting Fascist Governing policies. MORE details about Trump's, Nixonian Enemy’s list. More denials by Republican leadership regarding the INSURRECTION on January 6. MORE threats by McConnell to act as Emperor and deny the majority of Americans who voted for Biden/Harris a say so in governing. MORE disastrous news about climate change. MORE promises by Democrat leadership in the House and Senate to EVENTUALLY, MAYBE, ACTUALLY look into the crimes of the TRUMP Administration. MORE leftover shit, from four years ago, found to be forming mountains of GRAFT, GREED, GLUTTONY, set in motion to defy the gravity of democracy, and crush any and all hope for an America based on law and order, rules and regulation, right from wrong!

 

“You’re ignoring me so loud that it’s deafening. This silence is so deep that it’s echoing.”-Anna Jae

“Every word has consequences. Every silence too”- Jean-Paul Sartre…“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

Haile Selassie I

Have you ever wondered at what point, when, did someone suddenly stop caring about doing good? Have you ever wondered at what point when were morals and values no longer a part of someone’s communication? Have you ever wondered, why bad things MUST happen to good people? Have you ever wondered, why it is that YOU, can tell the difference between right or wrong, fair and inequality, justice and a sham, BUT those in positions of authority have so much difficultly? HAVE YOU EVER JUST WONDERED WHY AND HOW AND WHAT FOR?

 

 

 

 

 

 

convictions!

 Sadly, I only had the opportunity of knowing my Grandma Buncher, for the first 10 years of my life. She was a loving woman, but aloof, and limited in her expression of emotions; at the time I recall thinking she was the mean Grandma. Fastidious, and obsessive, visiting her house always had requirements. There was thick plastic on all living room furniture, (in the summertime my little sister and I would call them the Fart Furniture, because our flesh would stick to the plastic and when we moved it sounded like a party in the bathroom.) There were very expensive glass dishes for wrapped candy and even smaller plates upon which you would be required to place the plastic once the wrapper was open. One piece of candy ONLY, so, My Grandma Buncher would add ahead of time, “Choose carefully, because there will be no spitting out of your mouth if you chose the wrong flavor.” This warning did cause great consternation at the time! She had a Grand Piano in the living room but also reminded us, that the only fingerprints allowed were on the keys of the piano, and the only people to touch the keys were those who knew how to play concertos. We had no idea what a concerto even was, and was afraid to ask, so it was hands-off. BUT there was a softer side, also. My Grandma Buncher would create any flavor of “POP,” for us, as she had glass containers of various flavors, seltzer water, and this little machine that made air bubbles. The saving grace of our visits to her house was entering her kitchen, one at a time, and inventing our own “POP,” (In Pittsburghese, POP is Soda or Coke)

 

As my Grandma Buncher entered her kitchen, it was as if she had transformed into another person. She smiled, even giggled, taking our hands and hugging us. “What concoctions shall we create today”, she happily asked, and albeit it took time for both my little sister and me to understand the word CONCOCTION, we both knew it had something to do with how many flavors could we mix to make our own tasty delight of “POP!” Busy selecting the flavors wiping and re-wiping the already clean glasses would be the time when Grandma Buncher actually had conversations with us. One message I still remember, as she and I stood in the 1950-ish green painted walls and the white subway tile floors, of her kitchen, was the idea of NEVER ASK A QUESTION IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. My Grandma Braff insisted, that education was based on a foundation. If you already knew the answer and understood the truth of your answer, then ask something else, SOMETHING to add to your knowledge. Handing us our homemade “POP,” (which of course could be sipped while in the kitchen), the final words of advice sounded like this: “We all have “CONVICTIONS about truth, but those are just an emotional response to truth…TRUTH, is the easiest thing to discover, BUT many times more difficult to CONVINCE other people…NEVER stop trying.”

 

So far this year, we have suffered 272 mass shootings, according to Gun Violence Archive.  From Friday afternoon to Sunday, at least nine people were killed and another 47 were injured in eight mass shootings in six states, according to data compiled by CNN and the Gun Violence Archive. A woman was killed and three others were injured when an SUV struck a parked car and tossed it into demonstrators during a protest in the Minneapolis neighborhood where a Black man was fatally shot earlier this month. (CNN) YET, in states like Texas abortion is barely legal. On May 19, 2021, Governor Greg Abbot signed Texas Senate Bill 8 of the 87th legislature, a heartbeat bill that will prohibit abortions once a fetal "heartbeat" is detectable, which often occurs before a woman knows she is pregnant. (Wikipedia) I read this, (my stomach gets those nasty feelings of “butterfly’s), I know WHY it is easier to murder and maim, slaughter and silence those of us living, I see the HYPOCRISY of those who decry abortion, but delight in GUNS, and Getting Even…and I begin to ask WHY…but am reminded of my Grandma Buncher’s words of NEVER ASK A QUESTION IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. Holy Shit!

 

 

 

YOU MADE ME!

 “You made me love you, I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to do it, You made me want you, And all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it…” (You Made Me Love You/Merkin-Romoff)

The INSURRECTIONISTS are now dazed and confused, after spending time in jail, as to why they are being punished for OBEYING, the hue and cry, the fiction and LIE of Herr Commander Trump! HE made them gullible, guilty, HE caused bad behavior, acting like a bully, HE was the PORN Movie, and just because THEY placed 25 cents into the slot to watch the movie, it was HIS fault they even closed the curtain behind them to watch the FILM.

 

“…You made me happy sometimes, You made me glad, But there were times, You made me feel so bad…” (You Made Me Love You/Merkin-Romoff)

So more and more disgusting TREASONOUS shit seems to be falling upon or is it growing from the Fascist Pursuits of Willie, and Rudy. Neither man should still be able to practice law or be a member of the BAR, but both seem so far to just get the typical DEMOCRAT response, “IF YOU DON’T BE CAREFUL WE WILL HUFF AND PUFF!” Both men were BADASS BITCHES for Trump, bragging about bringing down the US Government, installing a DICTATOR, and destroying DEMOCRACY. Both by now should have been subpoenaed, shackled, and shown the way to prison. But if left to their own devices, it seems the DEMOCRAT leadership will just punt, instead of trying to score the goal and win the game!

 

“…Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme what I cry for You know you've got the brand of kisses That I'd die for You know you made me love you…”(You Made Me Love You/Merkin-Romoff)

HE walks into memorial services, weddings, social events, as might an individual confused, ruminating with a sort of dementia, one might wonder, is HE safe wondering on HIS own; BUT nothing will stop TRUMP or his cache of careless and charlatan handlers. NOPE, HE is still the great CON ARTIST, shamming and shaming grifting, and groping for fame and fortune, and HE is just the ticket from which THEY can still make lots of bucks! Then there the minions who INSIST they drink the KOOL-AID at MAR-A-LAGO, celebrate a shyster BECAUSE HE made it cool again to HATE OUT LOUD!

 

Somethings seem NEVER to fade from sight, when in fact they should disappear from view FOREVER!
