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.

There is freedom of speech. But I can’t guarantee freedom after that speech. Paraphrasing of a remark by the infamous Idi Ami, dictator of Uganda.

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.

My concern is non-vetting of these ICE employees. I would bet four quarters that none are vetted. And many have criminal records in their past. They deputized many of them and let them loose on the streets and back them up, no matter what they did.

I drove big trucks for thirty years. I would love to see the face of a state trooper who jumps on the landing steps and sees no one driving the thing during an inspection.

Ha! He reminds me of Idi Amin, the infamous despot of Uganda. He stated, I’m paraphrasing, that there is freedom of speech. But he can’t guarante freedom after that speech.

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.

Saw them in 1978 in Providence, RI. They were promoting their All n’ All album. They even put on a magic show, which used to be their trademark. Maurice White was still around. Unforgettable performance.

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

When money is what places people in positions of power over the necessities of the citizens, that means we live in a plutocracy. Democracy in name. A plutocracy in action.

This Commander in Chief stated he would bring back manufacturing. All he’s done is give the green light for data centers, which don’t produce anything, and detention centers which produce despair and misery.

That’s how it’s done in an oligarchy, which was formerly a democracy. Sports teams, companies, politicians, elections. They are all commodities that can be bought or sold.
