I don't go with the crowd. I don't go against the crowd. I just watch from a safe distance as they all go over the cliff. Straightforward & sarcastic.

Our Despot in Chief wants to run the country like one of his resort hotels. To him we are all employees, who can be hired and fired whenever he wants. And the only ones he gives a pass to is corporate America. His good pals.

Brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether was initially barred from teaching at University of Göttingen because she was a woman. She taught for 4 years as a "guest lecturer" under David Hilbert's name. Hilbert, exasperated at the stupidity of the rule: "Gentlemen, this is not a bathing establishment."

Two words describe what electing this Narcissist in Chief to rule over us has done. A big mistake. And if the midterms fall short of the votes to overrule or impeach him, we are going to pay a big price. Boy are we going to pay.

Always thought that the Pentagon was a government entity. Not a company on the NYSE that acquired a 35% stake in Venezuela oil. This may be an answer. Hat tip BBC. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Who is Alejandro Betancourt, the colourful oil baron behind US-Venezuela oil deal?
The 46-year-old figure of international intrigue has an apparent knack for being in the right place at the right time.

There are four countries in the Northern Hemisphere. Canada, Mexico, the United States and Washington D.C. The last on the list acts like a country unto itself. The Vatican of the elitists.

They say that a genocide is occurring in Palestine. It’s not a genocide. It’s an extinction. Like the dinosaurs, the Tasmanian tiger or the Dodo bird. The only place left which would display the Palestinians and their history will be in a museum. And all is silent.

Money rules politics in the USA. Not character. That includes both parties and their wholly owned subsidiaries, like the conservative, Progressive, Libertarian. Doesn’t matter where the money comes from. The end result is the same.

The Republicans elevate a person to a Senatorial seat who can’t tell her right hand from her left hand, just because she’s a former politician’s sister. We pick. You vote. You don’t like it. Too bad.

Excellent quote. “At the beginning a man was wealthy because he was powerful - now he is powerful because he has money. Intellect reaches the throne only when money puts it there. Democracy is the completed equating of money with political power.” Oswald Spengler, Decline of the West, Vols 1-2

Solid quote from ICC judge Nicholas Guillou, sanctioned by Trump. Courtesy of German news. “When you attack the institutions that are supposed to protect the weakest on the planet you reinforce the law of the strongest and the law of the richest to the detriment of the law, full stop.”

The First World War, called the war to end all war, is considered the biggest mistake of the modern era. In that context, you can say that Trump’s war with Iran is the biggest mistake in U.S. history.

Our CIC appoints his son-in-law as his overseas envoy. This guy’s father did federal prison time and then is pardoned by his son’s father-in-law and appointed ambassador to France. This isn’t a presidency. It’s a racket.

I know it’s an old story. But I feel it’s still relevant. I always thought it was about the soldiers. Boy, was I wrong. Even Palinter was stamped on the podium the president was standing on. Hat tip to this article. nypost.com/2025/06/13/b...
