Instead of providing the ATACAMs licensing Ukraine has begged for, or acknowledging the horrors visited on Ukrainian civilians everyday, Junior con artist is ”concerned“ about Jewish Cemetery preservation in a city under constant bombardment. Perhaps Junior is speaking to the wrong leaders….

Thanks for posting this! I so love Arthur Rackham. I have a framed print of ”The Fairy Princess” which does my heart good every time i See it.

I won’t comment on the appearance of this regime’s supposedly homo sapien staff. She is a vile tool, for whom “Others”, as in undocumented aliens or “non-white”, are subject to kidnapping, torture, unlawful imprisonment. She’s also criminal. Her looks are a moot point.

Yes, someone with no credentials and a worm-eaten brain… Go ask the Samoans about Mr. Kennedy’s credentials after their experience with following his advice. Many preventable childhood deaths and He’d love for us to participate on a grand scale. A merchant of death Stalin would admire.

“…obtain new levels of empty seats and Artists that have no time on their schedules for anything with “Trump” in the title…” Minor edit due to the vanishing connection to reality from the Offal office.

Private Health Insurance does limit cost for the Insurer, but not the Insured. Those are open-ended under guise of "efficiencies". As the spike continues of healthy people dropping coverage they can't afford, the "efficiencies" will rise and the poor will get sicker. Eugenic Economics...

Yep, my Mother’s people were Catholics from area near or on the Isle of Skye in Scotland and fled first to Bavaria and then in the late 17th century to the Maryland Colony as Lord Calvert welcomed them.

The Merchants of Death. Their rationale is unimportant. What is important is that children will die because malignant sociopaths completely ignore and disavow decades of proven evidence of vaccination success and willfully ignorant parents will believe them. Kennedy and vile acolytes must go!

Hmm, 3.9M people displaced from Iraq in 13 years: Between 200k & 600k deaths of Iraqi citizens: Opportunities costs to Iraq, the U.S et al estimated at 1 to 3.5 Trillion, sources vary. No Iraqi weapons of mass destruction found. But oil flowed, and Halliburton! Mr. Jackson is ill informed.

I was thinking maybe M.R. James? But folks already called out de Maupassant. While I have hundreds of books on my to read lists, this makes me want to read him again. My memory is that he was a marvelous short story writer

Yes, the Secretary is projecting. He knows subjecting himself to mental health analysis would confirm his derangements. I am sure the Administration and the enablers he hatchets public health for are in violent agreement. No scientific confirmation of illness for thee or me, let alone treatment.

1. You have to verify any booster you get is the current one. Your Doctor & Pharmacist may not give you accurate info. You need to get detail on the booster they plan on giving you. 2. The Biden Admin wanted to declare the Pandemic over, so they ended vigilance and policies and cooked the books.

Naah, the current dreck pile that is the NYT is just currying favor with Trump’s pack of death-for-profit cabinet imbeciles. Classic example of why I cancelled. My blood pressure is high enough. They still pretend at noble journalism which makes them even worse than the foundational shill papers.

“Celephais” is a favorite. Early in, Kuranes describes how we lose with age the depth & beauty of childhood dreams “There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth…” A wistful beautiful bit of writing that is unusual for HPL.

Now that is a find! I had a copy printed in the 60s I sold to another collector. Wish I hadn’t... Wonderful overview from the Shade of Providence himself.

Shame isn’t it, that the vast bulk of Trump’s appointees and enablers are in essence death cultists in service to greed and their own insatiable insecurities. True Narcissists who can Oscar-worthily pretend to have empathy when they simply don’t. The rest of us be dammed. How did we get here?

“Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.” Margaret Atwood. Mr. Kennedy’s stupidity, whether based on impairment, or just malignant & willful ignorance, is only equaled by his hires and exceeded by his Appointer. This Administration is inhuman but we must not respond in kind.

Well, I guess one of the Four Horsemen’s stable boys found a job running HHS. Great news for those who want to accelerate the Rapture, not so much for rational humans and the rest of the planet.

The wealthy can always import Doctors for private treatment. Who cares about the serfs? AI will replace most of them, and the surplus populations need decreasing anyway. /s The greatest health malignancies this country faces are republican politicians, their enablers, and this administration.

Do you ever sell any of these? That copy is pretty priceless. If you do not, I understand and won’t ask again. I do greatly enjoy the finds you post. Inspires me to retire so I can read more. Be well.

Junior seems to have intimate knowledge of where and when Poppers were easily accessible. Well, hopefully if he’s ever infected with one of his mythical viruses - really just illness from some environmental toxin - he’ll just rely on cod liver oil, a Paleo diet, or something just as effective.

RFKjr must truly be brain damaged. Cynics will say his Father and Uncles were calculating politicians & their concern for the country was for their own benefit. I don’t believe that. His Father and Uncles inspired civic duty, & convinced millions of people to do good work around the world.

The 3rd Reich amassed detail records of “defectives” prior to deciding which were “useless eaters” to be sent to the camps. This man is profoundly ignorant and vile. One of the big firms Trump pressured can fulfill their pro bono obligation via class action suit on the behalf of those violated.

He is the amplifier of his voters’ fears, yet does nothing that actually alleviates any of them and everything that will make their world less stable. He promises them a fantasy Eisenhower 1950s while disabling everything Government does to improves our lives. All on behalf of the worst of us.
