After 250 years, repeated trial and error has lead to this– not a shining city on a hill but a fascist-adjacent government headed by a nearly octogenarian con man who shows clear signs of both malignant narcissism and Alzheimer’s dementia. Donald J. Trump’s father died at 93 after suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease for many years. I should also mention that he and his father were both sued by…

[photo montage courtesy of pixabay.com] have committed one of the sins that enables fascism: I have obeyed in advance. Despite the fact that no-one has specifically threatened me, I have shut up. For the past few months, I have posted little (although I did post that: 1. Trump is a psychopath, 2. America is fast becoming a fascist state, and 3. Trump’s dementia is becoming obvious). I have only…

As I said before, Enlightenment is the only answer. It is necessary to explain to Trump that he can’t designate antifa as a “domestic terror group” because antifa is not any one organization– even if he could designate domestic terror groups, which he can’t, because the laws haven’t been developed yet, because Congress can’t agree on what a domestic terrorist looks like. It’s hard to sanction a…

I’ve been thinking about this for weeks. What should I tell you? Clearly the song “Life During Wartime” was just an ironic intellectual satirical piece that invoked a romantic image of occupied France during World War II or the TV series “The Walking Dead”. On the other hand, today the words sound more like prophecies. We already know what we are fighting. The thing to do now is to choose your…

Heard of a van that is loaded with weaponsPacked up and ready to goHeard of some grave sites out by the highwayA place where nobody knows The sound of gunfire off in the distanceI’m getting used to it nowLived in a brownstone, lived in a ghettoI’ve lived all over this town This ain’t no party, this ain’t no discoThis ain’t no fooling aroundNo time for dancing, or lovey doveyI ain’t got time for…

/ Cryptic note to those readers in the know goes here. The predictions of the Cassandras of the Left before the 2024 election have been proven right in every respect. Trump has almost completely taken over the government. Clearly, he thinks that he is immune to prosecution and believes that he holds virtually unlimited power to harass and imprison those Americans he doesn’t like. His authority…

This photo of Jeff Flake was taken just after he met with Trump in the Oval Office. The face of defeat in the fight against a mad king. An article in The Guardian from January 29, 2021 presents the story of Yuri Shvets, a KGB operative in Washington in the 1980s, as told to Craig Unger, a British journalist. Apparently, Donald Trump first came on the radar of the KGB when he married his first…

It was written by Eric Bazilian, who was a founding member of The Hooters. According to Wikipedia, the song questions the anthropomorphic nature of God. The first four lines are a re-reading of a recording made in 1937 called “Heavenly…

dartboard photo by Engin Atyurk via Pixabay Something has happened since November 5, 2024. A new government has hastily been assembled. A radical shift in policy (dictated by so-called Project 2025) has been implemented by executive fiat rather than Congressional approval. There is evidence that numerous executive orders were signed by a chief executive who had no idea what they contained…

Judge Boasberg, in a NYT photo– he looks pretty stern to me. (This essay was typed a week ago. On review, I had to enlarge the tale considerably and it is still not up to date. The bottom line is that Trump is a psychopath who is running amok with millions of followers in the United States. He has inspired deep alarm and revulsion in many parts of the world, recently provoking election losses by…

Billy was a good dog. Billy first came to us in July 2016 as a stray. He was big, but not full grown; I guessed he was six months old. He weighed 86 pounds when he was full grown. On August 5, I had to go to San Francisco to have major surgery on my spine: laminectomy and fusion with internal fixation (rods) from L5 to T10. At the beginning of September I came back and we started walking every…

Image by Michael Siebert from Pixabay It’s already too late to hide from retribution by the winning side. The winners have an active agenda of seeking out and punishing those who have opposed the new regime. The enemies list goes way, way back, to Hillary Clinton days and before. Then there is the notional “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party”, whose motto is, “I didn’t think they’d eat my…

Since I posted that last uninformed screed, I looked up the bullets recovered at the scene, and travelled to the Warren Commission Report. This tome lists a nearly intact bullet (weighing 158+ grains vs a factory bullet weighing 160-161 grains); two large fragments: One fragment, found on the seat beside the driver, weighed 44.6 grains and consisted of the nose portion of a bullet. … The other…
