privacy schmivacy

For years, people considered me out of touch and old fashioned for refusing to have anything to do with Facebook or smartphones or this whole “social media” thing. Only now are people beginning to realize how pernicious and Orwellian these platforms are. The whole concept of “social media” – especially Facebook – is anathema to […]

home of the brave?

“We are not here to lecture — we are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship,” Donald tRump said during his first foreign trip as “president” – to Saudi Arabia – last year. God bless the weapons makers for they shall inherit the […]

seeing red

The tRumps are the embodiment of gaudy, over-the-top tastelessness, so we really shouldn’t be surprised by Melanoma’s risible foray into xmas home decor. At 10K a pop, those 40 blood red trees are not only incredibly expensive and tacky – they’re an ominous warning for humanity. Make America Bleed Again. Totally macabre. Blood red tells […]

Hopeless

Too bad we can only look back fondly to a time when there was such a thing as an ‘anti-war’ protest movement. Those days are long gone, and may never return thanks to recent attempts by the GOP to pass laws effectively making protest illegal. These endless, genocidal wars we’re fighting today all over the […]

Kavanaugh

Today I saw a slick, campaign-style commercial on TV featuring a woman (clearly under some kind of trauma based mind control…) speaking in support of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. In all my years, that is the first time I’ve ever seen a campaign ad for a fucking Supreme Court nominee! Clearly his confirmation means […]

The war on failure

However, according […]

On Protests

I have always had a problem with authority; especially what I consider to be ‘illegitimate’ authority. The Viet Nam War was waging throughout my childhood, and at that time the American flag was looked upon by many as a symbol of illegitimate authority. It still is to me. Let me explain. My family was politically […]

NotBuyingIt

I came across this disturbing comment on a story about the recently ended US Immigration policy of of separating children as young as 3 years old from the parents of immigrants crossing the border illegally. It’s quite instructive in demonstrating the mind set of the typical tRump supporter. NotBuyingIt • 21 hours ago These are […]

USA: #1 in Global election meddling

In truth, Russian and Israeli state meddling in the 2016 US elections doesn’t hold a candle to all the actual coups and “regime changes” perpetrated by our own intelligence agencies all over the world since 1947. The USA staged coups against virtually every progressive government that emerged since WWII. The list is long and growing, […]
