Swiss Army Knife

 A federal judge on Friday struck down California's ban on assault weapons as unconstitutional but left plenty of time for the state to file an appeal. The state’s definition of illegal military-style rifles unlawfully deprives law-abiding Californians of weapons commonly allowed in most other states and by the U.S. Supreme Court, the judge wrote. Judge Roger T. Benitez, who has favored pro-gun groups in past rulings, described the AR-15 rifle, used in many of this nation’s deadliest mass shootings as an ideal weapon. "Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment," he wrote in Friday's decision. (NBC/News)

And somehow the death of the innocent due to the deceitful treachery of the evil is CONDONED, PRAISED, and IGNORED! An AR-15 ASSAULT RIFLE is compared to a Swiss Army Knife as a USEFUL/HANDY/JIFFY/EASY AND NECESSARY device to keep in the home for daily chores like Murdering Your Neighbors, People You Dislike, School Kids, Movie Goers, Concert Attendees, Beauty Salon Customers, Bosses That Piss You Off, The Vice President, Members Of The Military, Federal Workers…

The insanity is amazing, but predictable when in fact all people like this Pomp-Ass, Judge understand about America is an MIS-UNDERSTANDING of the Constitution. A Swiss Army Knife, such a convenient way to slice, dice, peel, and now MURDER!

 

 

 

 

Bidin' Time

 But I'm bidin' my time

'Cause that's the kind of guy I'm
While other folks grow dizzy
I keep busy
Bidin' my time (Bidin My Time/Ira Gershwin)

 

Let’s name a few names, shall we…you know names of crooks/criminals/schemers and Congressmen and women who have made life in this United States a living Hell, and who STILL have the power and privilege in continuing to do so…

 

I mean Rudy, RUDY, RUDY, still out and about, and still causing chaos. Somehow The long arm of the law is quite never long enough to grab his paltry ass and place him in jail! Then Matty Gaetz, raising tons of money along with Marjory QAnon Greene. Both are on the road with their LET'S BURN DOWN DEMOCRACY TOUR, wasting no time in diminishing this Republic of ours; YET the Republicans have demonstrated little to no effort in reigning them in or throwing them out of Congress. Dumb and Dumber Trump, full of piss and vinegar are ranting about the GOP not having the balls to go after Fauci, or the fact that the GOP has not comforted Daddy Orange ENOUGH, YET both are apparently drowning in a pile of subpoenas, and still walk the streets coning the most gullible and vile of their money.

 

We have Michael Flynn talking up a heap of Military Coup, and still able to go on tour…Don McGahn FINALLY has answered his subpoena, after months and months of defying the law, such a professional attorney! My Pillow Mikey and Sydney (never trust anything I say, because I wouldn’t) Powell, still professing a redo, a rematch, a retrofitting if you will of the 2020 election. Sydney still can practice law and Mikey The Pillow is not institutionalized. Of course, the GQP Congressional Tour Guides of Boebert, Brooks, Clyde, Gohmert, Gosar, and Jordan still planning a REVOLUTION and remain repulsive as ever. And of course, Mitch (Do Me A Personal Favor, and Please My Puppet Masters) McConnell, and Kevin (My Lips Have Turned Permanently  Orange) McCarthy ringmasters and roadkill, still in charge of Sedition!

 

AND YET, day in day out the Dems pretend somehow THEY will find a compromise. I know, JUST BIDIN’ THEIR TIME!

 

To Yell Fire

  

Report: Trump Has Fully Lost It, Won’t Stop Telling People He’s Going to Be President Again This Year. After he overturns the results of the election, which he legitimately thinks is going to happen. (Vanity Fair)

 

Imagine standing outside of a movie theater, some of your friends have already gone inside, saving seats for you and the remainder of your party. As you stand there, you witness, about a dozen people enter with bottles of gasoline, kerosine, large pieces of wood wrapped with cloth on the top! They also have dozens of boxes of matches, large chunks of metal with some very heavy-duty metal locks. As your interest has peeked, you step closer and you hear, some of these people talking among themselves, about going to burn the place down because the ushers were rude, and they asked for butter on their popcorn and received none. The cashier, sitting in his or her booth, seems unalarmed and almost oblivious to all of this commotion. Still waiting for your friends, and now becoming a bit dubious of all this action, you approach the cashier and ask what is going on. He or she looks up and says, some guy complained about the popcorn and did not like the way the ushers treated him, he said, “THIS WILL NOT END WELL,” and left. You know, adds the cashier, sometimes you just deserve butter on your popcorn, and I agree that some of the ushers, especially those of color, don’t respect the customer.

 

Now, more and more of these disgruntled mob-like people, enter and exit, bringing more and more accessories to start a HUGE fire, you call the fire department, they arrive, and you explain this tenuous situation. Their response to you is, “WE DON’T SEE A FIRE, YET, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?” Now the manager of the theater is standing outside, you run to him or her, pleading, “DO SOMETHING!” He or she says in a very matter-of-fact voice, “THE MAN WHO WAS DENIED HIS BUTTER, AND FOR WHOM HE THINKS PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE RUDE, IS A VERY IMPORTANT CUSTOMER, USUALLY WHAT HE SAYS IS CORRECT! As you are speaking the mob is now bringing in torches lit with large flames of fire. Now you are panicked because your friends and family are inside the theater. A blaze inside the theater is started, the same mob locks the front doors. The cashier mutters, “I guess they deserve it; the manager shrugs, adding, “SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT BUTTER AND GOOD SERVICE ARE IMPORTANT!” You are screaming, “PEOPLE ARE DYING,” as the flames engulf everything. Finally, the fire department, look at you and say, “NOW WE CAN ACT, THERE IS A FIRE!”

 

Yep, that is how I am feeling right now with the potential demise of our democracy, and the lack of URGENCY from the people who should be ACTING instead of REACTING!

 

THIS IS NOT FUNNY

 I will get right to the point, I DO NOT FIND IT FUNNY, OR PATHETIC, OR STUPID, OR SILLY, when I hear Trump and his treason loving traitor Michael Flynn,  talk about being REINSTATED as President in August, OR that perhaps a military coup like the one that recently happened in the country Myanmar SHOULD be staged within in the United States.

 

We already HAD one attempt at INSURRECTION by SEDITIONISTS, initiated by Trump and carried out by people like Flynn, and as of June 2, approximately a few days shy of 5 months, and NOTHING has been put in place to rectify it nor have justice PREVAIL.

 

I am FRIGHTENED, SCARED, WORRIED, ANGRY because Trump is still free, Flynn is still free, and the army of PROUD BOYS/OATH KEEPERS/GOOD NAZI’S and the Republican Congressional Tour Guides are still free. We scoffed and giggled enough while Trump was hacked into office, we gawked and laughed at Trump’s Fascist MAGA Rally’s, we pretended there were two sides to any action as Trump moved closer to AUTHORITARIANISM.  Be he a mad man or an idiot, Trump and his army of INSURRECTIONISTS, are ENEMY NUMBER ONE and while free, VERY, VERY DANGEROUS to our freedom and pose a threat to our democracy! 

MOURNING

 “Morning glow morning glow

Starts to glimmer when you know
Winds of change are set to blow
And sweep this whole land through
Morning glow is long past due.” (‘Morning Glow/Pippin/Stephen Schwartz)

 

June 1, 2021, the day after Memorial Day, the day after the day set aside to memorialize those who have placed country before self, purpose before pride, the village before the mere mortal, and fruitful above feckless. And yet as we face the dawn of the summer season, a kind of rebirth from the disease of the CORONAVIRUS, from which we sought shelter, hid our smiles, hoped for health, wished away the onslaught of the ignorant, it is not necessarily MORNING GLOW we heed but a MOURNING BLOW to the foundation of a nations freedom, laws, fair play, justice and the demise of democracy.

 

Think about the energy and enthusiasm, ALL negative and dangerous, put forth by the DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, identified as the REPUBLICAN PARTY, the men and women who to this moment support, caress, cheer on, lie for, cover-up and continue to ENABLE Donald Trump; whose agenda fits perfectly well into the vile and venomous schemes of Vladimir Putin. When asked at a rally in Dallas, "I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can't happen here?" a member of the audience, who identified himself as a Marine asked Michael Flynn (Trump's first national security adviser), appeared ready to endorse a Myanmar-style coup in the United States on Sunday) as HE responded, "No reason, I mean, it should happen here. No reason. That's right," (CNN/politics) As Memorial Day Weekend began, Moscow Mitch and his Grand QAnon Party decided to comfort the ego of Trump and cover their asses and denied the American Public to learn the true facts of the INNSURECTION on January 6. The Banana Republic of Texas joined the Third World Wanna be Fascist states of Florida, Arizona, and Georgia in trying to deny the right to vote to millions of Americans. It seems to me MOURNING is coming fast and furious and make the Preamble to our Constitution meaningless.

 

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MEMORIAL DAY 2021

 Wearing a Red Hat with the words MAGA on it, carrying a flag with the cartoon character of a piggish, Orange dyed Trump figure form the Forbidden Forrest of Fiction on it…Wearing a White robe with a White hood, having cut out two round holes from which to sneak a peek, but disguise the rest of your body due to shame and cowardness…Draping yourself in a “Southern Cross,” featuring a blue saltire (diagonal cross), trimmed with white, with 13 white stars, promising the South Will Rise Again…Delighting in a Goose Step, with insignias of SWATZTIKA’S  adorned either sown on your Nazi Halloween Costume, or actually tattooed on your neck or bald head…Carrying a HUGE banner with the letter Q draped in Crayola colors from a box of 16 Crayola crayons, as if you were from Sesame Street and todays denunciation of democracy is brough to you by the letter Q… Using lots and lots of weapons of war or assault rifles, or Glocks as White Nationalist jewelry or as replacements for the size of your own male genitals…Having Jesus dressed in a Military Uniform with his blond hair and Caucasian tanned skin and blue eyes, telling the poor to starve, and people of brown skin to remain living in terror, and calling him Americas God, and your Higher Power…DOING ANY OF THAT, EXHIBITING ANY OF THAT, RELISHING ANY OF THAT, AND PROCLAIMING ALL OF THAT IS AMERICAN PATRIOTISM, making you somehow superior and somehow THE TRUE AMERICAN…JUST MAKES YOU A PATHETIC PUPPET OF PUTIN, A PUTZ, A PUBLIC ENEMY!

 

Memorial Day 2021, IS NOT about covering up an INNSURECTION. Memorial Day 2021 IS NOT about continuing the BIG LIE. Memorial Day 2021, IS NOT about urging a revival of the JIM CROW LAWS. Memorial Day 2021 IS NOT about quoting ADOLPH HITLER, praising VLADIMIR PUTIN, applauding Trump saluting NORTH KOREAN DICTATORS OR GENERALS. Memorial Day 2021 IS NOT  about letting TUCKER CARLSON spew Racist Rhetoric, or Josh Hawley raises a triumphant fist toward Seditionists. Memorial Day 2021 IS NOT ABOUT Describing lynch mobs, carriers of Molotov cocktails, providers of flag pools sharpened as spears, people shouting orders to kill the police, kidnap the Congress AS TOURISTS.

 

Memorial Day is a time to mourn and remember the American service members who died for their country. It is a somber occasion, a time to honor their ultimate sacrifice. For anyone else, for any other reason WHO propagates the PROPAGANDA supporting Russian Assets, Putin’s Puppets, Wannabe Dictators, BIGOTS, RACISTS, HOMOPHOBES, XENOPHOBES, MISOGYNISTS, ISLAMAPHOBES, ANTI-SEMITES, they have shat upon the valor, pride, mission heart and soul of the departed real American Hero’s.

 

WHITEWASH

  

 

To whitewash is to intentionally hide some kind of wrongdoing, error, or unpleasant situation—or deal with it in a way that attempts to make it seem less bad than it is. ... More recently, the word whitewash has become a slang term meaning to cast a white actor to play a character of color, such as in a TV show or movie. ( merriam-webster dictionary)

 

‘In fourteen hundred ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He had three ships and left from Spain; He sailed through sunshine, wind, and rain. "Indians!  Indians!"  Columbus cried; His heart was filled with joyful pride. But "India" the land was not; It was the Bahamas, and it was hot. The Arakawa natives were very nice; They gave the sailors food and spice.( ‘In 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue’ /Jean Marzollo.

 

Slavery played a central role during the American Civil War. The primary catalyst for secession was slavery, especially Southern political leaders' resistance to attempts by Northern antislavery political forces to block the expansion of slavery into the western territories. (History Channel)

 

Monday marks the 100th anniversary for one of the worst acts of racial violence in American history, the Tulsa Race Massacre. Back in 1921, a mob of white people tore down and burned the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Okla. — a segregated part of the city so prosperous and bustling, it was known as Black Wall Street. (npr.org)

 

To pierce the mass of people gathered there, each group member placed a hand on the back of the person ahead of them—military-style tactic prosecutors called a “stack.” The group, clad in tactical vests, helmets, and radios, forcibly entered through the Capitol rotunda doors, where James and Minuta followed 25 minutes later. “It’s going down, guys; it’s literally going down right now Patriots storming the Capitol building,” said Minuta, according to court documents. “F*cking war in the streets right now… word is they got in the building… let’s go.” (Time Magazine)

 

Amazing JUST HOW EASY WHITEWASHING HISTORY can happen. Growing up in the 50’s I knew the names of the Nina/Pinta/Santa Maria but had no idea by combining all published estimates from populations throughout the Americas, we find a probable Indigenous population of 60 million in 1492. In the 60’s I learned that slavery was prevalent BUT irrelevant as to the fact that the Southern States just wanted autonomy, you know do their own thing. In the ’70s and 80’s I was told that ghettos were ONLY situational, history was taught to let us know that if only you had bootstraps, YOU too could raise yourself up, NEVER once had I heard about Black Wall Street, or wealthy Black Americans having war declared on them. And in the 2020’s RIGHT BEFORE MY OWN EYES AND EARS, I am now being told by an American Political Party, January 6, 2021, was a mirage, a slight of the hand, smoke, and mirrors. TO BE WHITE AND HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO BUY A BUCKET OF BULL SHIT DRAPED IN WHITE AND TRY AND PAINT AND PAINT AND PAINT AWAY your own sins!
