For the record ... An estimated 443,634 rapes and sexual assaults are perpetrated every year in the U.S. against people age 12 and older according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network.

1. The coup took place months ago after several decades of diligent prep. Now they're working to harden it - prevent anyone from reversing it. In 1971, Nixon took us off the gold standard. In 1999, Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagall Act.

Reality check ... You know that our military is preparing to seize control on election day, right? The question is, is there anybody capable and willing to stop them? This is why Hegseth was chosen in the first place.

The workers of the world never managed to unite. Some tried. The oligarchs of the world have been united for a long time now.

Seniors of the U.S. unite! We're being targeted and looted. The poor among us are dying off first without care and services. The rest of us are being preyed upon and our assets are being stolen. Beyond our assets, we're of no practical value - useless anachronisms. We were only ignorant pawns.

1. What if Trump was only ever meant to be a catalyst and a distraction while the real architects of our demise carry out their agenda on a citizenry that has been dumbed down and coopted over several decades? Are you familiar with the fall of Troy? Paris initiated it. His parents enabled him.

I started, "End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. This looks to be most interesting. I'll know more in a day or so.

The response by the authorities to the seven Cornell rapists should help people understand why the Epstein files will never be released in full. The rich and privileged will always protect other members of the club, not matter what their political beliefs are.

Whatever was going on at the RAF base in Fairford remains a mystery - especially since the 5 men who were arrested have all been released. Listening to anything Trump or Rubio has to say about this is pointless. Trump and Rubio are the Scylla and Charybdis of misinformation and idiocy.

Wake Up! Get Oriented! I finished "Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor. Include: "The Shock Doctrine The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism" by Naomi Klein; "Blowout" by Rachel Maddow; and "Doughnut Economics" by Kate Raworth and you've got the perfect reading list.

If you want to understand what passes for democracy in the United States, read "Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor. I hope to finish this tomorrow. It's excellent. It integrates so much information from so many sources into a single text. Read it and weep ...

Our country will never recover unless our politicians and the oligarchs supporting them are held to account for all their corrupt and destructive actions. National reconciliation starts with true accountability. Accountability is meaningless without atonement.

Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The White House and other state-owned entities don't belong to any one person or political party. They belong to the people. In our system, that should mean that any changes or modifications to anything should require congressional approval. Trump is like a plague infecting everything we own.

I'm not feeling very optimistic these days. I don't think the elections will change anything. I hope I'm wrong. I'll be voting for Democrats and only Democrats. I'm urging others to do the same. I'll never give up hope. I'll never stop calling out corruption. I'll persist. What's the alternative?

Perspective Some politicians and some reporters don't always tell the truth. Donald Trump never tells the truth. He appears genetically incapable of telling the truth. I'm sure he knows what the truth is, otherwise how would he always fail to tell it?

Our people are suffering economically not because of immigrants. Our people are suffering because the wealth of 99% of us is being transferred to 1% of us who have no allegiance to our country. Industry has been moved offshore; support has been outsourced and automation/robots have replaced workers.

Turns out "democracy" is a meaningless word. "Voting" is another matter. Astra Taylor's book will cause you to pause and think. Thinking is a good thing. In this case, it's great to have a knowledgeable guide.

A question worth asking: If a president repeatedly violates the Constitution, and enough members of his own party knowingly refuse to use their constitutional powers to restrain him, when does that stop being one president’s failure—and become a crisis of the party’s constitutional legitimacy?

If the Dems take both the House and Senate in November, we'll know before the end of January 2027 whether or not there'll be any meaningful change. Of course, we may see a new authoritarian state before that. Trump and the GOP aren't going to allow a peaceful turnover.

Brendan Buschi @bfbuschi.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Does anybody really think we can correct what's been going on since our country was first formed with voting? Our system was designed to prevent such events. We can, and should, vote in November. We should vote blue. Then, if Dems gain control, we should start demanding reforms in earnest.

If you take life seriously, you'll go insane. I think the Marx Brothers got it right. They chose to create humor - make people laugh. Nothing erases the barriers between people more than shared laughter.

Kathy and I have opted for cremation when the times comes. The other day I told Kathy if I die before you I would like you to play "On Top Of Spaghetti" at my funeral. She's laughed and said, "What funeral. I'll be the only one there." She's right, but she can still sign it as she spreads my ashes.

I started "Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" by Astra Taylor. It's quite a story. Astra traces the origins and evolution of democracy. I doubt most of us have a clue when it comes to "democracy", but we sure like to use the word a lot - while we're killing each other.

Milton, Delaware. Weather has been off all year. The summer was dry and brutally hot. The heat seems to finally have broken. Now we are being battered by high winds and severe rain. It looks like the beach is going to be washed away. A tree fell on a moving car on Hudson Road - traffic was blocked.
