The intent of this blog is to promote human equality, human progress, human peace and justice, and optimism. To accomplish this, to encourage the discussion of ideas after identifying and discovering problems, and then creating positive solutions for "we the people," in order to provide for the "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" of America now and its "posterity" into the future. To encourage an emphasis on separation of religion and state for all, no matter if this is for those "of faith" in a Maker / Creator (Deists, God-loving people, Christians, various people of spirituality) and atheists or agnostics.

I Luv NY

I “luv” NY. I am disgusted at the legislature not protecting products and business emanating from New York. I am told there is free license given to the distribution of California wines and beverages brewed by huge corporations like Budweiser.

For example. Where is Widmer wines? When I moved to Florida in 1983, after many years of the Nelson Rockefeller Regime and then replaced by Carey and the Cuomos, we watched as sales of New York wines in Florida were decimated – by California wines. Even in the restaurants today, IN NEW YORK STATE, try to purchase a glass of a New York State wine or New York produced 1911 hard apple ciders. Why are the huge wineries in California given favored treatment in New York? Why are we limited to big corporate conglomerate sales of hard apple cider? WHY?

Try to purchase 1911 apple cider in stores. Where is it? “We have Angry Orchard.” WHAT? Angry Orchard is produced by Budweiser, a huge corporate conglomerate. 1911 is produced by a company in New York from New York apples.

When IBM wanted incentives to remain in New York, what did Cuomo do about that, while other states were offering incentives to leave this state? Purportedly, it was just let go. It is time for a new day of economics and commerce in New York.It is time for someone like DeWitt Clinton who envisioned the development of commerce in New York with something people scoffed at and called “Clinton’s Ditch.” I am referring to the Erie Canal. According to a book titled, Wedding of the Waters, it was implied that even President George Washington was jealous of what Clinton was able to do in the 19th Century because there was no flat lands in Virginia to build a canal heading west. I would wager that it was the ticket George Washington used to convince New York to join with the other states in establishing the Federal Constitution, rather than refusing to join with the union of states we like to say is “America the beautiful,” rather than with a bunch of hawks ruining America with “bombs bursting in air.”

While living in Florida, I heard about Andrew Cuomo’s “economic zones.” When I returned to New York and asked about an “economic zone” in the Southern Tier, I was told, “What? What economic zone? Nothing has been done!” REALLY/

Where is the New York State Department of Commerce in promoting economic planning, growth, and development? When I was living in New York, we often viewed and heard the jingle for

With that jingle the New York Department of Commerce was identified. Where is it? Where are the “economic zones?” Where is the entrepreneurship? Instead, ICE deports a successful business owner of a Chinese restaurant while too many white folk with MAGA act like they are some kind of “victim” when all there is nothing but laziness and no appreciation for what our Forefathers in New York and the U.S.A. have passed on to us all these years.

And when I have asked what Assembly Person Christopher Friend has done for an “economic zone” in this area, I was told, “Friend has done nothing.”

Today, we there is a candidate who could be a TRUE FRIEND in the legislature. His name is Andy Fagan, retired director of the Tioga County Cornell Cooperative Extension. Consider a change. This change after how many years of the current “Friend?” Support Andy Fagan.

Republi-DUMBS, the Repugnant Party

During my years working for democracy and to make democracy work in Florida, New York, and the land I love called the United States of America / WE THE PEOPLE, I have often had, out of right field Republicans make some kind of derogatory remarks about Democrats, black folk, immigrants, LGBT+, Jews, and various ethnic groups. I have commonly just sat by and smiled and laughed without being contentious in return. MOST of the time I have done that.

Sometimes I have stood up for the groups of people being denounced. But nobody likes to get into a contentious argument, do they? And I believe the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) just loves to be hostile and openly hostile with no provocation. They are bullies who wish to see how far then can go as bullies. I have also experienced that with bullies who love to bully the gay or “sissies” or “nancies” of the world like me. I have had to take it on the chin.

After all, I witnessed such taunting of black folk in upstate New York after the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. Out of the blue, white bastards would taunt black folk. I found it disgusting as a kid. I find it disgusting today.

In Florida, I worked with Democrats who did not give handouts to me with welfare or what not, but respected me enough to recognize my skills and talents enough to lead me on a path towards opportunities for employment. They did not just hand me a job. I earned the respect for jobs.

Originally (1983), when I moved from Upstate New York to Florida, I was living in the only Republican county in Florida: Pinellas County. I was registered as a Republican in New York. I was living during the time when Ronald Wilson Reagan (666) split the Republican Party from one of moderation with Gerald Ford to one of far right ideas and fascist attitudes of “my way or the highway.” Reagan began to weave a fascist dictatorship into the mixture while being a hypocrite in his opposition to the Soviet Union. He was not willing to work with others who disagreed with him and would denounce such people here in OUR nation made up of a community where consensus and compromise were necessary to solver America’s problems together and do so by recognizing how we all fit together. One example, for sure, was his opposition to R&D to solve this new thing (at the time) called AIDS. There were other examples in which he favored Jerry Fallwell and the disgusting group I shall title the “Christian Nationalists” at Liberty Road Baptist Church so as to begin to curtail freedom of religion in favor of a “nationalist” religion made up of hypocrites who were not familiar with the true Jesus Christ. The Republicans in Pinellas County at that time were still connected to the more moderate wing of the Republican Party and disliked Ronald Reagan for splitting up the party during the decade preceding the period I moved to Pinellas County.

I worked for Republicans in Pinellas County to help unseat a person who was a Democrat and sitting in the Florida House of Representatives. When we did door-to-door canvassing, we NEVER EVER had any Democrats in a gang of people who stalked us down the street and told us, “you are not allowed to go door-to-door, even if you are speaking with fellow Republicans.” Never did that EVER happen with Democrats. In the Democratic Party county of Palm Beach, in 2018 when DeSatan was running for governor against a black man, we had Republican gangs on the streets of Palm Beach County tell us, “you are not allowed to go door-to-door to speak with people.” We replied that we were only going to speak to Democrats, so yes, we are allowed to do that. But at that point, it made me feel very bad for going door-to-door in Pinellas County and work to unseat a Democrat in the Florida House. I felt ashamed of doing that after experiencing the BS of Republican gangs in Palm Beach County. That was one big example of what I have come to call the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans). There are other examples on my trip through life up to this moment in time.

I have had Republicans, out of right field (and I use “right” to make a point), call Democrats names. Names such as Dumocrats. I just had it happen TODAY while I was speaking with a Democrat. Typically, I have said nothing but to smile and laugh it off. The Democrat who accompanied me while being stalked in Florida, also a former Republican who HAPPENED to have lived and worked with me in Pinellas County, smiled and said, “yes we do have a right to speak with people and we shall continue.”

Today, my reply was to say, “the word Republican is found in the dictionary between the words, reptile and repugnant.” I have had it with the emotions of illiterate people who call themselves Republicans and get a kick out of taunting others. But unlike the black folk of the 1960s who were taunted by lousy low-life white folk, I try to follow more closely the pacifist remarks and examples of Martin Luther King, Jr. Words like “we shall overcome” and other pacifist remarks are in my vocabulary. The words about reptile and repugnant are somewhat passive remarks, but they only come AFTER someone says something like “DUMOCRATS.” I have NEVER pushed any words at Republicans which come out of “left” field (I might as well use the word left, although I am one of moderation). Never. I have written words about how the Republican Party is actually the American Fascist Party because I have evidence of things being this way with that one-time YANKEE political party which once worked more for moderation in life.

As Democrats in Florida, we never pointed our remarks of “reptile and repugnant” at Republicans. We simply would joke about it among ourselves. “Republican is in the dictionary between reptile and repugnant.” This was sort of like some of my gay friends who thought it to be funny, among ourselves in the gay community,” to speak in a facetious manner about homophobic bullies as being “fags.” Or the manner for black folk to lash out by use of the word “nigger” or “honkey” when speaking about those who disliked black folk.

And what about the Democrats? As a kid, there were the Yankee Democrats and the Dixiecrats. They all attempted to unite into one party called the Democratic Party. Unity was done by means of compromise and finding common ground.

However, the Dixiecrats were a bunch of turds in Dixie with white skin who promoted Jim Crow and lynching of black folk. They were fascists, too. Reagan pulled the Dixiecrats into the Republican (word between reptile and repugnant) Party, thus building a path for the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans). The Dixiecrats are white turds “still fighting the civil war,” as my dad would say in disgust. And Reagan was pulling them into formation as the American Fascist Party while using the name “Republican.” I would more likely call it the Repugnant Party.

It is interesting, too, that there is evidence that Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty has deliberately been appealing to the illiterate emotional ones of America. He does so because he knows they can be enticed by stupidity and lies and not know the difference. MAGA fits this bill very well. I have a shirt which says “the Bill of Rights is not about emotions.” MAGA Maggots and the Man-baby are about emotions and the feelings they have for people who do not fit their framework. Hitler was like that. Mussolini was like that. Hirohito was like that. Stalin was like that. Castro was like that. Mao Tse-Tung was like that. Daniel Ortega was like that. Putin and the leader of Hungary ARE like that today. Leaders in Brazil and Venezuela have been like that. The Taliban is like that. Shall I continue with the list which emanates primarily from HISTORICAL examples from which we as Americans should be LEARNING and not returning to re-live such crap in life, due to emotions.

Hitler’s propaganda minister, Goebbels, said, “if a lie is told over and over again it eventually becomes the truth.” Emotional illiterates don’t know the difference between the truth and lies, so they are easy to impress with lies being told over and over again when it appeals to their emotions. Intelligent people are suppressed by any leadership which resembles Hitler and Goebbels because they are intelligent enough to know the differences and do not become emotional experts or “drips under pressure,” as the illiterate ones are. The Man-baby and MAGA maggots are fearful of such intelligence because they know they can be challenged. So how do these idiots respond? By calling Democrats “Dumbocrats” and doing so with no provocation. Just as the dumb white kids of the 1960s in New York tried to taunt the black kids, these unintelligent illiterate dolts today attempt to taunt those who are intelligent because the dolts are in fear of such intelligence.

In days gone by, we often described those attempting to be “leaders” but lacked intelligence as experts or “drips under pressure.” The Man-baby and MAGA maggots, in attempting to consolidate their power, are nothing but “drips under pressure,” thinking they are experts. They are “experts” only in the narrow-minded knowledge they have and the inability to take a broader overview of situations and how they impact WE THE PEOPLE and not to be narrow and impact ONLY the racist, bigoted, prejudiced billionaire oligarchy.

In my life and career, I have had many Democrats, and not JUST leaders, have had a positive and productive impact on me by providing guidance for the path of life. I have not expected handouts, but certainly I believe and have experienced many people who need that safety net which is provided by SNAP or welfare or other means. On the other hand, I have had leaders of the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) who have taken away from me. Shall I name people? In Florida, Jeb Bush, Rick Scott, Ron DeSatan, Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi. Just a few names but there are more. I can go into detail for all of them. I can also mention Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and the Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty. I have watched as Fascist Republicans have pulled the rug out from beneath other Republicans. For instance, the “victims” of such actions have been Charlie Crist and Mark Foley of Florida. In some instances, I could say I am also a “victim” of such actions. The Man-baby has even attempted to do the same with John McCain. There are others. In a communist dictatorship such actions would be called “purged from the party.”

Then there are those in the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) who, they believe they can rant and rave against Democrats and no one should challenge them on their ranting and raving. Truly, this is an example of fascism and the idea of “my way or the highway” dictatorial procedures. No communication because it’s “my way of the highway.” Attempt to calmly ask the question, “please explain your dislike.” Reply. “I don’t know but I hate them.” But gee. If I had someone I did not like or did not respect, I could explain the reason why. Reply. “Don’t talk to me about this.” But gee. YOU were the one who brought it up and now you just expect of me to accept what you say and with no evidence or facts at all? I call such people “sick puppies.” Whether they are relatives or not, they are “sick puppies.”

As for the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) stealing from me, it began with the employee stock I owned. It was necessary to steal it from me so as to make sure the largest stockholder pockets were bulging with money. There are more examples I have to offer, too. But let me just limit to this one.

At the same time I lose money, I have to listen to Jerry Fallwell or other hypocrites in the “Christians Nationalists” push this idea that the “Ten Commandments should be posted on government buildings.” “Thou shalt not steal” is the Eighth Commandment in the Bible, out of the Ten Commandments. Yet, it is these religious groups who endorse the actions of the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) where stealing by the leaders and the billionaire oligarchy is done all the time. The mere words of “trickle down” by Ronald Reagan indicates a “reverse Robin Hood” trend in which “free markets” opened up the thievery by such folk to do as they want in killing capitalist competition, limiting what people over a certain 6-digit income should contribute into the FICA (Social Security), lay off people and take their stock holdings (as with me), purchase favors of our government (buy elections with PACs and Citizens United) so as to obtain tax credits that hard working Americans who seek opportunities for success, don’t get, and layoff employees so the CEOs get a better salary (it’s not about profit) and we can watch as such CEO salaries have increased by about 1000% over the time that living wages for all have decreased.

Overall, I am fed up with people who make claims that Democrats are “dumb” and do the same thing those in control of the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) do. You are wrong about this and I can prove it. But again, the reply is that “I am not going to listen to you because you might win over my argument.” Really? The only ones who win or lose are those in our society overall. Not me. Not the person who might have a warped outlook of Democrats, so warped they would call us “Dumbocrats” or other names and NOT be willing to humble themselves to learn the facts of the situation. I just outlined the facts over my lifetime. And the only Democrats I MIGHT not care for as much are those who are too wimpy to take a strong stand against the American Fascist Party. Sure. It is nice to be diplomatic and a statesperson.

When the competition is the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) and not a political party which believes in democracy, the very form of government which, for nearly 250 years has made this nation great, in spite of some imperfections along that timeframe, one can no longer be so diplomatic. And that is a tough statement to accept, especially as a TRUE Christian who rejects the heresy of the “Christian Nationalists.” If you are younger ones who have NOT been taught the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution or the words of the Gettysburg Address, you are wishing for something easier in life so you fall prey to the lies of the Man-baby and the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans PLUS the MAGA maggots). Be careful what you wish for, though. Because while consolidating power for a fascist government, in the end, you could end up as Niemoller said of Hitler (and there are different versions of this):

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

This is not about a “persecution complex.” It is not about paranoia. It is about considering that we are all human beings who seek opportunities in life. We are all human beings and thus do not live by a barbaric Machiavellian message of “the end justifies the means.” We are all human beings who can be moral and ethical enough so as to obey the 8th commandment about thievery against others, as the billionaires today have done and are attempting to consolidate their power with one political party: the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) or the Repub-DUMBS or the Repugnant Party.

The leadership for the Repugnant Party comes from the money-loving suckers at the top who are evil. The leaderships for the Democratic Party does NOT base its power on the billionaire group. It may HAVE some billionaire supporting it and for reasons of supporting the grassroots, not just themselves (in many cases). The Democrats work to obtain grassroots money. Sadly, Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty wants to eliminate such grassroots financial support becasue he and MAGA maggots are cowards and afraid of competition just as much as the “free market” supply-side Reaganomics folk are afraid of capitalist competition so they use “free market” as a free ride to form monopolies. The description given here is fascism.

The GOP with their fascist MAGA maggots are “too dumb” and the dummies “will fail.” These dummies are a bunch of people with foul mouths who taunt others and such perverts will fail. They are the dumb ones, not the Democrats. Republi-DUMB.

That makes the person today who called Democrats “dumbocrats” to be a repugnant Republi-DUMB just for making such a remark which is not based on facts, only emotions. I have outlined the facts here. And I say to repugnant Republi-DUMBs (of course, your lack of intelligence and you are unable to, as with an alcoholic, acknowledge being such), if you should experience any Democrat who is NOT like I describe here from my many years of experience, then let us know. Seriously. I wish to know who they are who are so troublesome to your dimwitted illiterate emotional ways to such a degree you feel you must make a derogatory remark to a person like me who was simply being positive about life and working towards what is best for all humanity, human equality, and human justice. In other words. Principles for humanity. A DEMOCRAT for a democracy and a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC, as our Founding Fathers defined for us and has worked for so many years, in spite of any failures along the road of the timeline of the existence of this nation.

f you think we are “dumb” because we refuse to go along with the billionaires who run our government, then you are wrong because we stand for America “… with liberty and justice for all.” And be careful for what you and other young asswipes wish for (who lack appreciation for what we have in this nation) because if you were to live in a fascist nation with a fascist government and you were to call the leaders of that government, “dumb,” you might be executed or lined up with others and shot down in genocide. THINK.

Media Should Concentrate on the Fascist Movement by Trump and MAGA Where the Billionaires Don’t Pay Enough Taxes

Axios is one dumb turd of a media. It wants to report on a Democrat who is black from Florida and hide what Trump and billionaires have done which is far worse in avoiding taxes. Get a life and concentrate on stopping the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) from destroying our government and our democracy. Insolvency is not the fault of that person from Florida. It is the fault of a strategy by billionaires whose puppets are in the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans and their leaders).

What is Fascism and How to Identify Fascists/

First of all, let me explain my background knowledge. I was trained to lead democratic groups based on Roberts’ Rules of Order for Parliamentary Procedure. Compromise and consensus were two very important words I learned. A leader does not control by trying to control others with his/her opinions and force those opinions upon others. Democracy is about discussion and coming to consensus by means of compromise, if necessary. If you don’t like this description of democracy, then leave this nation and find one that does and see that you do not befall execution or genocide. My heart would bleed for such lainbrains, then. But then, I am NOT a bleeding heart. I rely on learning from history, not re-living history or repeating history. My heart aligns with other human beings of all kinds so we can ALL achieve success and satisfaction in life, even if it means we do NOT always have our way in a minor way, but are not forced to do what we don’t like.

Fascists are those who wish to control what other human, beings eat, drink, have sex, so as NOT to be merry.

  • Anarchy produces fascism; regulation, teaching safety, teaching moderation in all things and teaching self-control is democracy
  • Apathy produces fascism; regulation, teaching safety, teaching moderation in all things and teaching self-control is democracy
  • Not voting produces fascism; regulation, teaching safety, teaching moderation in all things and teaching self-control is democracy

Have I said enough to make my point? I could go on and provide a never-ending list. Have I made my point? Or are you too stupid to humble yourself and learn? Shame on you. Everybody is ignorant, but no one has to remain ignorant and if they do, they become stupid.

Thought for the Day: 24 March 2026

“When a man gives up his moral values, there is nothing left.” A line from the series, M*A*S*H, spoken by a character named Col. Sherman T. Potter. He was replying to a soldier who was speaking about how his morality was that any person any human should not have sex outside of marriage. Col. Potter was encouraging the soldier because the soldier had to defend his morals against nasty and bullying fellow soldiers who claimed “he does not like girls.” The issue was not whether he liked girls. The question was his belief in procreative sex and how strong a feeling that was for him.

Kind of explains me when I was growing up. I relate to that soldier with morals. However, I do not believe I should force my moral beliefs upon others, just as bullies should not be forcing their IMMORAL beliefs upon others. I can TEACH others my moral beliefs. I should not PREACH my moral beliefs and values to others, just as homophobic bastards in churches should not PREACH their homophobic beliefs to others or PREACH their beliefs about whether clergy can only be straight men and women and LGBT+ should not be clergy.

Along those lines, it is not right to preach and judge humans with regard to recreational sex. If humans are unable to produce children, perhaps due to different reasons, they should be able to choose recreational sex. Such recreational sex may go along with a same-sex relationship. There should be no judgments made by human beings. Such people who do such judgments are evil, influenced by demons who promote a lack of confidence, and are influenced by the evil one some call Lucifer or the devil or Satan or…

Jesus Christ said, “judge not lest you be judged” (Gospel book of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 1-2). PREACHERS do too much f***ing judging of others. Those who do the judging anyway and use the “sin book” (Romans) are mixed up cowards who lack confidence about living our human lives together in community and society and living in an environment with peace and justice. Peace cannot happen without justice.

Jon Stewart: What a GUY! Kudos & Bravo!

Jon Stewart had remarkable comments about the “carnival ride” we are experiencing with the “extreme Un-leader,” Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby (my words).

Here are some of Stewart’s words on the Daily Show:

“On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart poked fun at ABC pulling the latest season of “The Bachelorette” from its schedule amid the explosive fallout between would-be star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen.

Stewart teed up the joke by outlining how “Trump’s America” has become a “dizzying, chaotic carnival ride.”

Continuing…

“It’s fucking madness out there,” Stewart said. “TSA lines longer than your trip, escalating threats in the Middle East, planes driving into trucks. The only thing giving me joy is looking forward to this season of ‘The Bachelorette.’ I mean, they got a strong, Mormon woman; she seems lovely. Hope that she finds — hold on, I am getting a call… no!”

I WILL NOT MINCE WORDS: FUCK YOU TRUMPTY DUMPTY MAN-BABY FOR YOUR LACK OF DECENCY WHEN AN AMERICAN DIES

I try to avoid using the “fuck” word. But I cannot resist this time around. Fuck you Trump you 80-year-old SOB and BASTARD. FUCK YOU TRUMPTY DUMPTY THE MAN-BABY.

Robert Mueller dies. You did not like him. A civilized man who does not worship the evil demons of the earth but did not respect Robert Mueller would NEVER say what a fucking idiot like Trumpty Dumpty said. For he said, in recognition of the death of Robert Mueller, “good, he is dead.” YOU FUCKING SOB BASTARD.

What is worse are the lainbrained bastard Americans who have absolutely no civility and say the same. Fuck all of you. Actually, I hope Trump and the others all can go FUCK THEMSELVES, just as Judas Iscariot, betrayer of Jesus Christ, did. Judas fucked himself only after recognizing that he had done something wrong in betraying our LORD, Jesus Christ.

I may have no respect for Man-baby Trump, but I NEVER say he should die and I would be glad if he did. No. What I say is “to the demise of the Trump Man-baby Regime.” A regime is not a HUMAN BEING, but is a group in which the people could live on when the Trump Man-baby Regime faces its demise.

Or this I pray in the LORD’S Prayer, a phrase used in Europe, particularly when barbaric Norse people were invading central Europe. The line is this: “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil [ones].” And Christ and St. Paul and others defined what is evil. Greed and selfishness of money-changers. Evil is also defined as those who love money. “The love of money is the ROOT of all evil.” It was not money which is evil. It is LOVE OF MONEY wrapped up with greed and selfishness which is evil. It is not making a profit in business which is evil, but a love of money which goes with profits so much that one cooks the books or uses other means to be greedy and line an executives pockets.

Ethics and morality go against love of money and the evil ones.

Fuck Trump the Man-baby. Please LORD deliver us from the evil one called Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby. We toast the demise of the Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby Regime.

Former President Obama, a man with morality and ethics, did not rejoice over the death of Charles Kirk. His statements never even approached rejoicing and expressions of “good, he is dead.” Perhaps President Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright had a prophesy which is coming true with regard to Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby saying, “good Robert Mueller is dead.” It is Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby saying, “good, Mueller died” which is a way he expresses the phrase of “God damn America.” Why? Because Mueller is a moral, upright, ethical man who worked to improve America and its justice system.

Anyone like Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby and the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) wishes to destroy the American government is doing what Rev. Jeremiah Wright was prophesizing people would be saying: “God damn America.” Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby just said it in a figurative manner. And some Americans agreed with the bastard SOB.

Yet, it was the fucking Trump folk of 2016 who used the video snippet from Wright’s sermon against President Obama for the purpose of confusing many Americans who have no brains and don’t even know how to listen, consider and think. Trumpty Dumpty Man-baby and others are like the 1st Century Zealots and Judas.

It is Not JUST the Man-baby

Everyone talks about hoping Trump can be removed from office. But what needs to be done is to destroy the Man-baby Regime. The entire regime. For the entire regime is a puppet of the wealthy billionaires who are white supremacist fascists. This is thanks to Citizens United and a SCOTUS black man married to a white man, Clarence “Uncle Tom” Thomas. What is important here is to “follow the money” and that goes beyond JUST the Man-baby.

The strategic plan has been written. The plan is to destroy democracy and replace it with a fascist authoritarian regime. Such a fascist authoritarian regime has the same characteristics of King George III, the mentally ill crowned person of Britain which the colonists opposed and defeated in the American Revolutionary War. Had the colonists lost, a large number of them would have been executed by the King George fascist regime of the time period of the 1780s. Thus, while some stupid Americans have no brains so as to be convinced that instantaneous gratification can be done by an authoritarian regime and takes more time with a democracy. But that instant gratification means more than half the population would not be happy. The only peace with justice which could be achieved by a fascist regime is to make false claims and false witness of those who oppose the regime and then execute AND implement genocide among the population.

The Man-baby Trump Regime is a puppet of the money people like billionaires. The only answer is simply NOT to vote for ANYONE who is Republican, especially those who are very open to support of Trump. But all others can easily hide their support of the Man-baby, just to get along with others who don’t like the Man-baby Regime.

It is good for the opposition to raise enough money to oppose the Man-baby. But the Man-baby Regime is made up of cowardly people who have fear that such money can hurt them. Such demonic people are happy to hide their nasty parts and push all the stuff which can put up smoke and mirrors to cover over the true intentions of their strategic plan.

By the opposition pushing to raise tons of money, they also put aside the possibility of educating Americans about the true intent of the fascist authoritarians and what the results can be without a democracy and peace without justice among the population. To achieve peace is to execute and perform genocide. That is a very big lack of justice when it is defined by fake accusations and fake witnesses.

Lee Moran of Huffpost reviewed the Daily Mirror description of Trump and reported on Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNBC reaction. The following is a portion of what Moran wrote:

The Daily Mirror reported on the president’s lie-filled speech to the United Nations on Tuesday via the one-word, withering headline “DERANGED.”

In one subheadline, the tabloid described Trump as the “world’s most powerful man-baby,” a brutal description that O’Donnell went on to use to taunt the president with again and again during his monologue.

It is nice to focus on the “man-baby.” Makes us feel good. At the same time, this example plus many other “feel good” activities draws our attention away from investigating where the money goes to support him or “follow the money trail” and eliminate the money trail.

Is the only thing we can do is keep giving money to defeat the man-baby or more investigation research about that money trail and shut down the trail? FDR shut down assets of those who wanted to destroy democracy and were people who followed Hitler. Teddy Roosevelt filed lawsuits against the wealthy as he was wealthy himself. Are the more wealthy like TR so engulfed in subjugation by ritilin or Prozac so they just cower in a corner somewhere, while the demonic ones with a love of money continue to zap others?

And don’t listen to those who claim, “there is nothing we can do” or “there is no hope.” By people saying this and these all become self-fulfilling prophesies. Rather than people repeating what can be done, they repeat what cannot be done and they predict the future.

A self-fulfilling prophecies being repeated over and over again will validate what is said that “united we stand, divided we fall.” Except the prophecy and prediction come true with a collection of many people using negative self-fulfilling prophecies.

To unify for the good of democracy, we need to be proactive against everything which surrounds the Man-baby and that regime. Period.

Leonard “Lenny” Bruton

Leonard “Lenny” Bruton passed. He was one of my good administrators at Palm Beach State College. As an adjunct professor of Music at the Boca Raton campus of Palm Beach State College, I had the opportunity to teach music appreciation under the leadership of Bruton. He was a great leader.

Palm Beach State College released the following statement:

It is with great sadness that I share the passing of our colleague, former professor and Dean, Leonard Bruton.

While not everyone in our community may have had the opportunity to know Leonard personally, his legacy at Palm Beach State College Boca Raton spans decades. Leonard began his service to this campus in 1976 and dedicated over 40 years to PBSC, leaving a lasting impact on generations of students, faculty, and staff.

His commitment to education, leadership, and this institution is part of the very foundation of our campus, and his contributions will not be forgotten.

The family has shared the following message:

“Our beloved Leonard has passed away, and our hearts are broken. We are so grateful for the many messages of condolence and love we have received. However, as the family processes this profound loss, we are asking for some time and space to grieve privately. Please hold them in your thoughts and prayers, but we kindly ask that you refrain from reaching out directly or asking for details at this time. We will provide updates on a memorial service when appropriate. Thank you for honoring their need for peace.
The Bruton Family”

My condolences go to the family. My prayers also go out for the Bruton family and for his colleagues at the college as we all deal with his passing.
