Hail to the King. . .





In approximately twenty-two days, our nation is going to get a little weird and a lot more frightening. His Unholiness is tramping  through the pansies of our peaceful flower bed, where the weeds of his MAGA wrath are stored. 

He will give his inauguration address to introduce his new system of turmoil and trepidation, bundled into his dictorial policies.

He will take his Oath of Office with his hand on the "Good Book: Project 2025"  and the other hand behind his back with his fingers crossed. (I'm guessing you know what I mean.)

It will be a marvelous day, with a supper colossal crowd  and lightning flashing across the dark and rainy sky! It will be a fitting day for America's first-ever Dictatorship and the money and champagne will flow like "Happy Hour" at Mar-a-Lago! A bevy of Billionaires and Millionaires will invade the royality's space and begin the bidding for "who gets what" from the Emperor's "Bribary Coast."

If you don't have your "invite" yet and you have piles of money to donate, come around to the back door and ask for "Elon." He'll let you right in!

Drinks later at the Strip Joint on 7th and Bannon Drive.







Without Truth, We Are Nothing To Anyone!


 The Truth Matters To Me!

Kellyanne Conway, U.S. Counselor to the President Trump, used a phrase in 2017: "Alternative Facts" during a Meet the Press interview, in which she defended White House Press Secreteary Sean Spicer's false statement about the attendance numbers at Trump's inauguration. The numbers were of little importance to most Americans, but the phrase caught the attention of nearly ever one of us. We saw the handwriting on the wall and came to know what kind of administration we were facing. They became more proficient at using "alternative facts" to sell their lies to their loyal base. 

With that disgusting rhetoric, a new kind of politics was born in America by the Republican Party: Lies and more lies!

Today, as a loyal American and scribe of the news, I am expected to print the news verbatim. If I don't, I am libel for the harm it may create. However, Republicans have not lived by that rule since the day Trump entered the White House. To them, they declare the lies to be simply "alternative facts" and we are to accept them as such.

It will take a damn good attorney to one day sort out the lies of these fabrictors, charlatans, prevaricators, snakes, fibbers, deceivers, and con artists!  Someone who intentionally and habitually tells lies to the extent that Trump does can be labeled as a psychological liar. However, when his supporters back up his lies -  that they know to be lies - the problem is greatly compounded!

I take no joy in calling the president of the United States a liar, but I also take no joy in having to admit my president is a snake. 

He is returning to office in 22 days. If he continues his style of governing, I will not parse my words in criticism of him, either. 

A con man who must depend on lies to be the leader of the American people, is neither a leader nor much of a man!

Snicker Blizzards and Old Age. . .


 What's it like to be Ninety, Grandpa?

Well, it's like being eighty-nine only a little slower and a lot more surprised that I've made it! We all think ninety is a huge achievement and people will marvel at the fact that some of us made it. I need to set the record straight, however. I am not actually ninety yet, but I am getting close enough to start calculating - and budgeting - how many Snickers' Blizzards I have left. At one per week, the answer scared the heebeejeebies out of me: only 219 weeks, or only 219 Blizzards left to enjoy! 

On another subject: By the time I run out of Blizzards, You-Know-Who will be run out of office. That's one positive thought I can hang onto with a grin!

Maybe I should set my sights a little higher. My doc says lots of folks are reaching the ninety mark these days. Hell. . . maybe even that idiot You-Know-Who will  reach it!  He might even find a way to run for a third term. If so, I'll  get there before he does and I'll get to vote against him one more time. That'll be the high point of my life.

Can America find a way to get rid of his power during the mid-term - Dec. 3, 2026 election? Can we grab control of power in the House and Senate? That would be something to look forward to celebrating!  That's only two years away. . . 104 more Snicker Blizzards!

Piece of cake.







2025: Chinese "YEAR OF THE SNAKE"




In the Chinese Zodiac
2025:  YEAR OF THE SNAKE

This could be a whole lot of bad news for America. The Trump Cabinet and various others who slither around in the snake pit of Congress are ready to make a whole lot of loud hissing and (peeing) from their snake pit! They have proclaimed 2025 as their year of transformation to a grim form of dictatorship!

"Project 2025" is an easy-to-read manifesto by the MAGA cult of the Republican Party to guide them into the world of demons and dictators. It is like an Anaconda snake that will end up swallowing our democracy whole and with nary a burp!

The "Year of the Snake" just could not have happened at a more opportune time than 2025. It is the year for bats in the belfry of Trump's mind  and snakes in his Florida residence. All that's corrupt about his administration will thrive in 2025.

Trump's "Year of the Snakes" will, ultimately, spell doom for his Billionaires and Millionaires. They will be chased out of the country by the revitalized and vicious, all-beefed-up and beggin' for a battle, Democrat Party! 

(More about "dem guys" in future blogs.)

Trump and his flying monkeys won't stand a chance!

A Make-Believe Story. . .


 Poor King Donny - He Ain't Got No Kingdom

He has a horse and he has a saddle, but we just can't get him to climb on -  and skedaddle!

If you are reading this standing up, you might want to sit down before continuing. You see, we have it from fairly reliable sources that Donny is just a few fence post  down the road from owning a fully-barbed wire, fenced-in, brain enclosure. In other words, he's not long for this fully cognisant world. 

Expert folks in the field of brains and other seldom-used parts of the mature males have been saying for several years that he is getting pretty short of the stuff that keeps any normal brain working. The endorphins in Donny's brain never really matured from birth and he has an eternal craving for adulthood. 

So, he whimpers for those things from childhood dreams, such as he still wants to be a king with his own kingdom and lots of knights to ride into battle with him.

He cries in his sleep about conquering more and more land to rule over more people. He dreams of more and more evil to torment his kingdom. He has a blazing fire burning in his belly to prove to his peasants that he is the mighty king, Donny!

One day, however, he will drop back to earth and realize that he's just another flim-flam con man who finds he has to wake up and smell the coffee. . . sometime!

They all do. . . eventually. 



The nation's first Immigration Deportation czar


 TOM  HOMAN  -  CZAR of DEPORTATION

Homan, resembling a mob boss from a New York mafia crime family, will be Trump's czar of the immigration deportation as outlined in the "Project 2025" MAGA Manifesto. 

Should his plan to arrest "illegal immigrants," transport hundreds-of-thousands of them to detention pens, then to  awaiting ships, and then  to their former lands, or any foreign land, as family units - or separated - it will be the most unAmerican undertaking we have ever seen! With the help of law enforcement and our military, they will be rounded up in house-to-house raids and taken to detention pens. From there, they will be taken to awaiting ships for delivery to God-only-knows-where.

How low can the Trump Administration go? How disgusting can they get? America is not only the laughing stock of the world for the clownish behavior of MAGA politics, but they will now become the Neo-Nazis of the world, as well!

Trump says he will order it to begin on his first day as president. And, if he could, he would begin the atrocities sooner. His thirst for power and rule over people knows no bounds.

America, we're better than this. . . a LOT better!

Okay, the Boss will just take the Green One. . .


Trump Wants Greenland


Trump has said that "America's ownership of Greenland is an absolute necessity."

I've always thought that a "King "of one country can't just wake up some morning and say, "I think I want that country over there." At least, not without an invasion, slaughtering of its people and staking out their king on an ice berg and letting him float away. I don't think Trump can just land Air Force One, hop out, order someone to take him to their leader, and tell him he is there to make a declaration that they are now owned by The United States of Trump. That might work in the "Art of the Deal," but it probably won't sit to well with the Kingdom of Denmark.

By the way, he wants control of the Panama Canal, also! He woke up hungry today and is in a "country-grabbin' mood."

Donald Trump is a blow-heart, story-telling, egomaniac with spiders in his brain.

On his throne King Donald sat.
He says he wants a little of that.
And maybe a pinch of some of those,
"Wrap 'em up with pretty bows.

He's in a buying mood they say,
Is the Panama Canal for sale today?
It would make a splendid gift for the wife
("I've wanted that canal-thing all of my life!")

When you're king, you get to jump out of bed in the morning and think of at least two crazy things to "buy" before breakfast. 

It's what Kings do, you see.

My Christmas Wish and New Year's Worry. . .


                                                    

The U.S. House's Deadliest Threat 

The Republican/MAGA/Musk/Johnson Members of the U.S. House of Representatives finds themselves between a rock and Trump. As their membership narrows, they also become more fractured. Perhaps there will come a day when the Speaker (whoever that will be) will call for a representative from the Republican Party to stand and one of the two remaining will arise.

At this point, no one has an inkling of what the future will be for the once-powerful Grand Old Party. Anything that vaguely resembles it has a lot of "sorting out" to do. It is in fragments and shaky intentions as we head into another very scary new year. And, the "leader" of their party doesn't help a bit!

The president-elect is a huge question mark in the eyes of even his own followers. Is he really going to launch a bomb into the core of our democracy? Does he think he can successfully turn our "shinning city on the hill" into a bombed-out, desolate wasteland of oligarchs and henchmen? 

Only time will tell. He isn't even inaugurated yet. He has told us he will grind up anyone who is not "with him." We know how he demands strict loyalty, and that is not good news for most of us.

In the meantime, let's all enjoy the blessing that Christmas  offers as we pray for peace - not only around the world -  but here at home, as well!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The Coup Has Begun. . .


America is Mad as Hell

We had survived the Republican/MAGA political party before and thought they were dead and buried. Their plans under Trump 1.0 fizzled when Joe Biden became president. And then, horror of horrors, their revenge and retribution voters, coupled with their fear of losing the "Trump Bravado,"  swept him back into office!

Surprise!  The Clown Show 2.0 was suddenly being billed to be ten-times worse. This time, the guard rails were torn down, the secrecy was exposed to their goal of dumping our democracy, and they even put it all in writing. The "Project 2025" book spelled it all out in nearly 900 pages. Many Americans have likened it to Hitler's "Mein Kampf."

The plan, basically, was to eliminate governmental departments such as education, health and human services, FBI, and of all things, The Justice Department. There is no doubt that they mean to run all of these departments through the Executive Branch. . .and that, dear Americans, makes it a real, honest-to-God Dictatorship. 

The Trump Team has invited at least three of the world's biggest dictators from around the world to his inauguration: Russia's Putin, China's Xi Jinping, and Turkey's Recep Tayyiip Erdogan. Trump has put the world on notice. America is on a new track. It will start a new course to consolidate its path in a dangerous and unheard of direction.  Oligarch's will rise up and began control of our business and financial sectors - under the guidance of Trump. Comletely unqualified people will be - with the help of loyal Republicans in the U.S Senate - confirmed and ready to do their evil under Trump's direction.

This is not a pipe dream, America. This is their promised and deadliest endeavor! 

And worst of all, we can learn it all on our televisions and read it in the newspapers. These treasonist traitors are proud of their every move. They are bold and brazen.

And, they have already started the process!




Bless her little pea-pickin' heart...but...


Kay Granger, U.S. House of Representatives from 12th District of Texas is a leader in national defense and global security, serves and fights for the 12th congressional district of Texas. She was elected to her 14th term in 2022.

Since making history in 1997 as the first Republican woman to represent Texas in the U. S. House of Representatives, Granger has earned her reputation in Congress as an influential conservative leader.

The 81-year-old Republican has been living in an assisted care facility after suffering a decline of her cognitive abilities. Her last vote was cast on July 24, 2024 and she continues to receive her tax-funded salary.

I'm sure she is as generous and dedicated to her Party as ever, but isn't it time America considers term limits and/or age limits on our elected officials?


Note from this editor:  I do not know this lady and I do not write this blog to hold her up as a criminal of any kind. I hold her up as an example of our out-dated laws concerning politicians who have fulfilled their duties as a long-time fighter for our American democracy and are deserving of a retirement.


It is time to pass the torch and welcome in new members to the U.S. House of Representatives. . . from any political party!

The OLIGARCH and Marjorie Taylor-Greene


GUESS  WHO  IS  RUNNING  THE  JOINT 

That seem to be the question on most American's minds. It does seem that the "new" administration has added a few big wrinkles in the way they plan to govern. While their former evil-hearted corruption is recognizable and just as sinister, they are more bold about showing it to us today. 

Instead of the American Oligarchs hiding in the shadows and lurking down darkened congressional hallways, today, they walk right in and start giving our elected officials the orders for the day!

Or, at least they try. It didn't go so well this past week when the House was trying to shut down our government. We are still open for business and we'll still get our social security checks.

But what about the next time? 

We can't allow these oligarchs to "assume" they have the "hall pass" from the president to come and go as they please. They were not elected to anything, they were not hired by anyone, and they are not welcome to direct traffic as they see fit.

America has neither a need nor desire to cater to oligarchs and the President of the United States needs to understand that. We are all smart enough to know that oligarchs make their money on governmental contracts and what Trump has done is positioned the wolves right inside of the sheep pen.

And while we're fuming about that, let's make sure we don't put one of them in the House Speaker's chair. Good God! Marjorie Taylor-Greene should be put in stocks on the front steps of the Capitol for about three months!







This is the biggest Flim-Flam Con men Sham ever!


 D.O.G.E.
Department of Government Efficiency
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy

Two Men-With-Money Moguls have been given titles that denote they are experts in the field of effeciency - better defined as Department of Government Effeciency. I believe the "efficiency" part pertains to: "These titles will help us get closer to government contracts and show how much more efficient it would be if Vivek and Elon just handled all of them by themselves." They could "fairly" dole them out, couldn't they?

The positions are evidently  a very big deal to Trump and while he was explaining it two the moguls, he may have unintentionly made it sound like their powers would be similar to those of "Assistants to the President of the United States."

And, as long as Americans believe that bull-oney, the work is already half-done. How can it go wrong when we have two such wise and honest moguls taking care of things? 

Does anyone besides me see a few gaping flaws in Trump's plans? Does anyone remember this D.O.G.E. enterprise being run through congress for approval?  Or, is this how Trump is just going to slide things through from now on? Gee. . . maybe that's how the "efficiency" part comes in.

I'm guessing America is going to be needing audits on the books every two or three hours.

Or, we could just throw Trump's  "efficiency juggernauts" in the trash and go back to what's been kinda' working for more than a hundred years! Of course, that would cut billions of dollars out of Musk, Ramaswamy, and Trump's "secret take-home pay!"

Let's try to keep an eye ball on this flim-flam con man scheme and report back before the mid-term elections. 

Capeesh?

Defining the Impossible. . .


 

IS THE WORSHP  OF THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR

Since he has been a grifter and a con man most of his life, at seventy-eight+-years of age, he is undoubtedly beyond being "fixable." And, since enough foolish voters saw fit to give him a second try at being our president, we will have to put up with him for another four god-forsaken years!

As someone once told me, "I'd like to have a re-do on my life because I've come up with some new and more sinister things to try out." I'm afraid that's what we'll be looking at the next four years. He isn't the famous con man for nothing!

As of today, he hasn't even been sworn in yet, and already he has our House of Representatives in a god-awful mess. The chaos is his doings and the people who he thought he could trust to do what he told them to do. 

So, it appears all we can do is forge ahead while we whistle the ABBA tune "Money, Money, Money."

(That ought to get their dander up.)

What is the Misery Index now?


 

I am old enough to remember the days leading up to President Richard Nixon's debacle that pushed him out of office Aug. 9, 1974. From that political explosion until today is how we measure the political landscape in terms of "is this worse than Watergate?" It was our thermometer of America's misery level.


Today, I've thought of how America measures Trump and Company against  Nixon. Let me tell you straight out. Tricky Dick Nixon couldn't hold a candle to the crimes of mob boss Trump! There is just no way you could compare the two for honesty, intellect, meanness, and stone-cold treason! Trump tried to take down our government and overturn a presidential election. Nixon said he loved our nation and he was loyal to its constitution. I never saw any evidence that he wanted to end our democracy. It was my opinion that he got caught and instead of ultimately telling the truth, he tried to cover it up - and, of course, that always is the wrong thing to do. He admitted guilt and that is one thing Trump will never be able to do!

As to Donald Trump, he intended to overturn our election to give himself the win and he planned to prosecute a coup on our democracy. . . which he still does! He is a man who doesn't care what he does to get what he wants. If he runs afowl of the law, he expects, with his horde of attorneys, to lie, cheat, and threaten judges to get him free! 

Today, we are in a world of hurt. We have him - possibly - for four years. It is my opinion the he is more aggressive than ever to turn our nation into an authoritarian dictatorship! He has put his plan into a book. A manifesto of exactly how he intends to do it. It's called: "Project 2025." He and his underlings speak of the crimes, openly and often!

Finally, I don't think America has been in this much trouble since 1861. The biggest problem right now is there are too many people who have been deceived, lied to, and hornswoggled by Trump, and they are too damn enamored with him to accept the truth. Or, they are too deep into the lie that they don't know how to get out. The real injustice is there are many elected lawmakers in Congress who also fit into this arena

Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble."

MAGA Must Assimilate - Resistance is futile


 WASN'T THIS CRIME RESOLVED
NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO?

On January 6, 2021, a group of thugs incited by the president of the United States and an unknown number of congressional members stormed our Capitol and the Capitol Police officers to overturn our presidential election. Some died, many were seriously injured, the building was damaged, and America fell to its knees. The entire story has been told and retold a thousand times. 

And yet, that same president has decided he wants to try again to clear his tarnished name. His story is beyond anything our government has ever witnessed, but since this man has found a way to get re-elected to his old job, he believes he has revenge still burning in his heart and a fire in his belly to now seek retribution for his "damaged ego and long rap sheet."

He was given a "token pass" by the U.S. Supreme Court due to their conservative majority and what is considered by most Americans as a "get out of jail free card." America swallowed hard and tried to move on. But, he and the thugs and others in our congress think they deserve more and they are looking for "Retribution and Revenge."

The Jan. 6th Investigative Committee from both parties found guilt for the insurrection all over the place. But, the old crown finds themselves in charge again and the battle has been rekindled!

These miserable cretins are guilty as hell and everyone knows it. But, that doesn't stop their attack on their political enemies. America, are we going to endure their terrible attacks again?

In my opinion, this mob of gangsters - led by the president-elect -  needs to face fire with fire. We cannot survive another coup from these treasonous traitors! 

This nation needs to purge the Republican MAGA Party from our land. They intend to forcefully kill our democracy and build a dictatorship. We need to stop these thugs in their tracks.

And we might as well get started now! 

If anyone doubts the seriousness of this, do a quick read of their plan from their book "Project 2025."

Get your tickets to the coronation early. . .


Sorry about that. We didn't intend to let the "cat out of the bag" so soon. But, the poor soul has been waiting so long to tell us all about his dreams. He has been planning this since he was a kid. He's had his robe picked out for years and his crown was made so long ago. 

Most would be satisfied to just have a reciting of the oath and a few remarks. Some might even hope for a really large crowd to show up. Others would want their family members to share the stage with him.

But, then there's Donald. He has great and magnificant plans for his coronation. He has invited Russia's Putin, China's Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of Turkey, and possibly other dictators of the world. To date, none have accepted the invitation, though.

Someone has mentioned he has contacted Jerry Jones to see if the Dallas Cowboys Stadium might be available for a week. He's looking for another gigantic crowd. He also asked if the Dallas Cheerleaders would be available.

There will be a free dinner of steaks and lobster for the paying guests. Tickets are $75,000. payable in advance. 

A good time is promised to be had . . . by most everyone.

(sarcasm like you ain't never read before)

Trump's Retribution Train is heading down the track


"I Am Your Retribution"

Donald Trump promised his followers he would be their revenge and retribution. He will slay those who have slayed them. He will nail their hides to the barn door. He will list their names in the book of shame.  And, maybe he'll get a little retribution for himself while he's at it! Or, maybe a lot for himself. Oh, hell. . . okay, so he's just after retribution for himself!

First, he's going after that smarty-pants Liz Cheney. She just shouldn't have called him all those names. She shouldn't have made him mad. 

Trump has now called for a committee to investigate her. He said he has no choice. He needs her to say she was wrong. He needs RETRIBUTION!  While legal experts say Cheney did nothing wrong and he has no chance to win a case against her, Donald doesn't care. He is only interested in dragging her name through the mud. Trump sent out a tweet this morning to start his fight. He started the tweet by saying Cheney is "in big trouble!"

So, we now know who the "revenge and retribution" is really for. He is trying to rebuild his "reputation" by tearing down the reputation of someone else who was "just doing their job."

If anyone was looking for a "new Donald" this time around, they can forget that. I'm guessing there is no such thing as a "new" Donald.  There is just the "old crooked one!"

Our trust in the court system is at record low


 The HILL - by Filip Timotlia, Dec. 17, 2024
"Americans' trust in their country's court system has reached a record low, according to a survey released Tuesday. The Gallup poll found the public's confidence in its courts and judiciary system has dropped to 35 percent this year. An October survey from the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania found the public's trust in the U.S. Supreme Court dropped to a reord low. The poll discovered that 56 percent of Americans said they somewhat disapprove of the nation's highest court. The data indicated trust in the judicial body noticeably declined following the court's 2022 reversal of Roe v. Wade"  - The HILL, Filip Timotlia - Dec. 17, 2024

This is no big news to most of us. It is hard to find a living soul who is in agreement with not only the U. S. Supreme Court, but nearly all verdicts handed down in lower courts where Trump's cases were handled. The conservative movement is nearly fiully in charge of cases in all court verdicts.

One of the biggest complaints from Americans is the inequality in cases where "the affluent is given much more latitude in what is acceptable and what is not."  Money rules when a brigade of lawyers march into the court room. 

The era of Donald Trump and his many cases that produced guilty verdicts has perplexed a nation that has watched him unpunished and free even to run for the highest office in the land. The people have also grimaced at greatly biased district judges turning a blind eye to the former president who appointed them to the bench. 

America has a lot of fence-mending to do since the former president was the loser to Joe Biden in 2016. Trump's life since that time has been a horror show of court room antics and deceptive trial tricks.

Trump is back in the saddle and nobody I know thinks he has had a rebirth of humanity. It's a cruel world we live in. . .and we aren't doing much to fix it! We'll just have to wait until the Democrats are back in power and getting us back on track!


Another Problem Solved by Watson-omics!


"He's Not As Radical As You Might Think."
Quote from Donald Trump regarding Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Just what in the hell does that mean?  It sounds like RFK Jr. is radical, but not as radical as we think he is. So, he's kind of radical? He's a little radical? He's radical?  I think he's radical, and I think the guy is as radical as a Maga Republican.

The president-elect should confer with a linguistic expert instead of a lawyer before he speaks. Any breathing soul with an ounce of smarts knows that if you ignore a polio shot and then come down with the terrible disease, you are in big trouble!  You are also as radical as I think you are!

And, he is also as radical as his family  thinks he is. 

Donald Trump is in trouble up to his eyeballs and sinking fast. It seems to me he has purposefully nominated rare and dangerous square pegs to fit in round holes! The outcome is obvious, but the intent is still to be determined. Is his revenge and retribution so burned into his brain that he can't leave it alone? Is he so incensed with rage at everyone lampooning him that he can't think straight?

Maybe that's the answer. . . maybe he has some kind of a bug burrowing into his brain. . .like a MAGA-OT -  a larva stage of flies that is typically found in decaying organic matter. (wikipedia)

Well, it appears I have solved another of earth's riddles. I am going to call it a day, folks!

We are but one more broken promise from a calamity!


 The Deportation Administration
All you children,  get inside. 
Trumpy's comin, run and hide! 

America was once the beacon on the hill where everybody wanted to live. We were proud to be the "melting pot' of the world. We welcomed nearly anyone. 

The tablet in the Statue of Liberty's left hand has the date of the American Independence, July 4, 1776 writen in Roman numerals as "July IV MDCCLXXVI", The tablet is a reminder of the country's commitment to freedom and equality. And the following words are also found on the statue:    

"Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breath free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Do these words still ring true?  Not to the president-elect and his administration. As his term begins on Jan. 21, 2025, he says he will make a mass deportation of millions from American soil. He will utilize our military and other agencies to get the job done.

"He gives back your tired, your poor. He says take back your huddled masses who yearned to breath free.  He took down our lamp beside the golden door!"

America, the conservative MAGA/Republican Party has taken us to the brink of disaster. We are no longer who we once were, and we aren't sure we can ever get back there again!

Money, Money everywhere, but not a drop for us!


 
Tesla's 39% surge since Trump's election victory has lifted Elon Mustk's net worth by about $70 Billion. 

Elon Musk's wealth rocketed past $300 Billion in the days since the election, putting him about $90 Billion above Larry Ellison, the world's second-richest person.

Musk spent at least $139 million to help Trump get elected. 

The world of Oligarchs has entered our elections and we may be unable to ever stop it. Those of us who have long worried about "money in politics," didn't know the half of it! It is now "Katy bar the door and bring out the heavy artillery!"

Oligarch is a sysem of government in which a small number of people maintain power. Oligarchies most often denotes tyrannical or despotic rule by a small number of people who control or limit political agency of the majority not in control. Rulers in an oligarchy may establish power via nobility, social caste, religion, economic status, or any number of other factors.

It is of utmost importance that all of us follow the "take over" of our government by these people who have two goals in life and they consists of money and power. - and nothing more!








Conversation with a Planet Niner


"Planet Niner to any Earth Hooman"

Excuse my interruption, but I just heard about the problems with your soon-to-be-once-again leader. If we of Planet Nine chose one of us to be our leader and he didnt work out too well, we'd exile him to the land of Planet Nine Landfill and we sure wouldn't let him back to try to get elected again! His voters must have a few screws loose or missing!

So, Earth Hooman, the question is: Why did you let yours come back? Do you not have a Hooman Landfill?

We on Planet Nine have another plan that you Hoomans evidently do not:  If our leader steps out of line and starts a litany of lies, we don't even take him to the landfill. . . we fly him off to that  Milky Way Galaxy's Planet Ear. . . ah...which Planet am I talking to? Is this troublemaker of yours called "Rump" or "Trump" by any chance?

Boy, you Hoomans now have a sick, screwed up, egomaniac with shades of self-serving delusions of grandeur on your hands! 

There are days when I'm plum happy to be a Planet Niner. If we find someone has spawned a Newby-Niner with the mental problems of your "Trump,"  we'd pay someone big bucks to put him on a cargo rocket and fling him into the nearest nebula cluster!

We need more patriotic souls to join the fight. . .


The Crisis
by Thomas Paine
(Dec. 23. 1776)

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.              


America is, today, in another gut-wrenching crisis, based on what the president-elect promises he has in store for us. 

Within one hour of taking his oath of office, he intends to pardon many felons who attacked our capitol, killed and seriously injured our police officers, damaged the building and private offices inside, and attempted to overturn the results of the presidential election. The only reason I can see for this terrible event is he will feel some  guilt lifted from his own list of crimes on Jan.  6, 2021. It is so revengeful and so steeped in retribution!

The then-president and now president-elect sat in his private lunch room, watching the insurrection unfold on television for three-and--half hours - while his staff begged him to order his attackers to  stop  the violence.  He ignored everyone - even his family members.

This is the mind of the dictator that we must deal with for four more years! And, he is promising ever more misery for America this time.
He is in the process of filling our government agencies with people of the same flawed characteristics as himself.

As Thomas Paine said, "Tyrrany, like hell, is not easily conquered."

Don't forget that fat little worm. . .


Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants to run the Health and Human Services Department under the Trump Administration.  Okay, when you stop all of that laughing, I'll tell you the rest of the story.

Around the time the president-elect began building a list of his Cabinet nominees, a news story broke about poor Bobby Kennedy Jr. His health problem was diagnosed as a "worm had gotten into his brain, ate its fill, and died." Could that really have happened?" the president-elect asked. "I've always wanted a Kennedy in my Cabinet. I've got an idea." And he went looking for Steve Bannon. "Steve, I want you to do something for me, and you're just the fat little worm I'm looking for."

Long story short, the little worm was reduced in size by a special machine they keep in Bannon's War Room. It can reduce anything, enlarge conspiracy theories, and make MAGA people believe every lie the president-elect has come up with. So, little Bannon, the worm, snuck in through Bobby Junior's ear and went to work. He was made up to look like Trump so Junior wouldn't know the difference. He told Junior that the boss wanted him to be in charge of Health and Human Services.  Of course, it worked and Bobby Junior has been running around the country telling everyone who will listen about the worm that helped him finally get into politics and continue the  good name of Kennedy!

And that is whywe will no longer have polio vaccinations, flouride in our water, measles shots, cold medicine, shots for typhoid fever, heart medication of any kind, preparation-H, Tylenol, and a host of other "unnecessary"medications. . .  according to Bobby Junior!

God, I'm glad at least we got a Kennedy back in government!

And the worm. . . don't forget that fat little worm!
