Unfashionable as it is to say, President. Trump was right to a degree in his comments on Tuesday. Now he was wrong about some things. Few, if any, of those demonstrating against the removal of the statue of Lee from the re-named Emancipation Park were people of good will who are opposed to an Orwellian re-writing of history. Most appear to be “Alt-Right,” an odious mix of: Neo-Nazis; Klansmen; white nationalists; and other white supremacists But he was right in stating that not everyone opposing the rally was on the side of the angels. Along with the various and sundry clergy following in the way of , there were people following in the way of the Spartacists, who fought in the streets with the Freikorps in Berlin and Munich in the wake of the Kaiser’s abdication after World War I. The conflic…
See that ? Could be YOU in a couple of years. Be that in the US or here in Europe. Old age poverty will increase at a thousand percent rate. Too many people, an aging population, not enough jobs for people being able to pay income tax, and therefore the savings for social security and r…
My premise is that racism is based on ignorance and primitive tribalism. We share 99% of our genes with chimpanzees. We are really nothing more than a third race of chimps. We also share nearly as much with our other close relative – the gorilla. Human beings are extremely…
The Devil was still recovering from his wounds. Thankfully there was no shortage of Beverly Hills plastic surgeons on hand in the immediate aftermath of "The Assault", as it would now be eternally remembered within these esteemed halls. Never one to stay down long he had cleverly negotiated wi…
A truly lovely morning. We slept late and have been slow to get moving. Last evening there were storms about, some severe, but we missed out on the rain; the past few days have trended much drier and the gardens could use a soaking, so we’ll likely need to water. The robins are growing…
Yes, this is one of those blog posts where I pull various ideas of the header together into a seamless whole. The New York Times' "breathless" about the of the latest installment of the the quadrennial National Climate Assessment is very good — but too breathless;…
Somewhere in America, a young man sits at the breakfast table, eating his cereal. He’s getting ready to go. His backpack and coat are in the chair next to him. His parents are nervous and excited for him. He’s told them that he’s going to the city for a jo…
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has …
When it comes to the past, the quotation, “History is written by the victors” is supposed to be the bottom-line. But the truth is, history is more often true only until it’s uncovered. Unfortunately, often such revelations induce intense reactions. Especially toward people who now …
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which has power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory …
TRUMP'S SHEETS ARE SHOWING Damn, WHAT A TOAD! Tubularsock blames Alzheimer-Reagan for the total failures of Trump! Seriously! It was Bat Shit Crazy Reagan who was responsible for putting the mentally deranged out in the streets and making mental illness a criminal offense rather than a medic…

Charlottesville. Trying to make sense out of a living nightmare is not possible. I am for free speech and civil disobedience, and that has not happened. mrt has been fanning the flames of racism, hate, and evil since his campaign that led to his election, began. He has openly uncovered what lay…
When it comes to sleazy bastards Paul Lying Ryan is one of the sleaziest and his supporters all need to die of cancer. If Paul Ryan were to croak tomorrow I would disrupt his funeral service and then piss on his grave. The House Speaker, in his inimitable snotty-ass frat boy way,&…
Do the removal or destruction of statues of solders and Presidents from over a century ago matter more then Black Lives or for that matter any life? I live in the shaddow of Chicago that has not ended gang violence that has been around for decades. “[T]he welfare state has done to black Americ…
1. Hunger from Chronic Food Shortages " . An estimated 25,000 Venezuelans make the trek across the Simon Bolivar International Bridge into Colombia each day. Many come for a few hours to work or trade goods on the black market, looking for household supplies they cannot find back home.…
The last thing we need right now are people banging the partisan drums. There are truths that transcend political affiliations but are mired and hidden in today's hard and irrational fighting. It is time for people to start looking for common ground. I am typically …
So Jennifer Lawrence poses on the cover of Vogue by the Statue of Liberty (all rights . And one of Breitbart’s editors because us liberals use the Statue of Liberty as a pro-immigration symbol so clearly this is a direct attack on our beloved Shit-Gibbon president! And m…
How do we determine what is good? Americas' modern liberalism education system has created a society where 66% of adults believe in a relative moral truth, but 72% of adults believe that they can earn their way to heaven by being good. Religion creates an absolute moral truth, for Judeo-Christians t…
Clearly the violence in South Carolina could not exist if both sides had not gone there looking for a fight. If the most radical White Supremacists shouted Nazi slogans, and ugly racist slurs as they marched down the street the only headlines we'd have seen would have been how stupid the…
Beginning in the 1960s, a new form of political strategy evolved. The two-party system had worked well (at least if you were a party hard-liner) for several decades, but the synergistic sixties brought about a great deal of change, and the political parties evolved as new constituencies emerged and …
It’s coming! An event that long ago showed up as a dream marker upon my imagined future life trail. The eclipse of August 21, 2017. As a child I was fanatical about all things related to the cosmos, and I devoured all of the books I could about astronomy and cosmology. I confess tha…
I recently watched “The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin” and found it hysterically funny. There were many times when I laughed out loud. “The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin,” as well as the players described in the film made the latest series of “Saturday Night Live” shows loo…
