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.

Man-baby America Stinks as We Fall Behind Other Nations & We Want Kamala Harris, not the Man-baby S**thead

According to a Facebook posting by FactFusion Space & Science, “Japan just powered its entire Shinkansen bullet train network from solar energy alone — 3,200 kilometers [almost 2000 miles] of track, 450 daily trains, 500,000 daily passengers, zero carbon emissions from the world’s most famous railway.

In order to make America look good, there was a posting about America and its development of “fast trains.” What a joke. After all, we are spending money on bombing and killing civilians in the Middle East when the rest of the world does not support us. In spending such amounts of money on violence, bombing, and killing, we make no effort to do what Japan is doing. In spending such amounts of money on violence, bombing, and killing, we make no effort to provide infrastructure to develop this nation, provide healthcare to our citizens – an expenditure for living, not dying – as the other nations do, we question INVESTMENTS in retirement, don’t wish to provide SNAP money or Medicaid money or home healthcare money. But boy can we shoot down civilians and bomb other areas like a bunch of obnoxious offensive dolts.

China fast maglev train:

Australian solar-run train

Dutch electric trains running on wind power

EV v. Hydrogen powered vehicles

Yet, ‘it will be a few years before America will develop a fast train.” What a joke America has become due to the Mag-baby shithead and his entourage. He thinks he can do better by clearing out his cabinet? What a joke. I would wager we would be further ahead if we had two years now of Kamala Harris than what this stinking idiot and his MAGA Maggots with ICE have given us as we are off to see the wizard of carnage in Iran. F**k the Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty, the MAGA Maggots, and ICE. They take our money away, whether that be taxes or the MONEY WE HAVE INVESTED (and still investing) in MEDICARE and SOCIAL SECURITY. You bunch of shitheads who don’t even consider the lives of human beings, whether in America or the Middle East.

Florida Foreshadowing with the Bush Family and Charles Colson of Naples, FL, One of the Nixon Watergate Lawyers

As a historian, I consider what can be learned from history.  Being an avid viewer of Murder, She Wrote, Perry Mason, and [Ben] Matlock, Poirot (Agatha Christie), Murdock Mysteries (produced and broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.), I often consider what it takes to research what is happening, both historically and during our current days. Actually, I have been doing research about much of what has been happening with political figures since I was a librarian working at a Florida corporation where Lawton Chiles (“Walkin'” Lawton who won his U.S. Senate seat after walking the entire state of Florida). While I spent most of my time researching environmental impacts of zebra mussels on hydro plants, nuclear energy and cold fusion as an alternative, alternative fuels, and self-insuring the corporation following losses due to Hurricane Andrew in 1992, I was also assigned projects by the CFO of the company who likely got the orders from “Walkin'” Lawton who was serving on our board of trustees after he departed the U.S. Senate and was preparing for a run for governor.  

The assignment was to research the possible impact of Jeb Bush on our company should he run for governor. In the process, I discovered “Jebbie’s” interests were strong in gambling and attempting to make gambling legal in Florida. (“Jebbie” was the name used by a Republican in Florida whom I had known most of my life who had come from Newark Valley – speaking as if he knew “Jebbie’ personally; he may have; coincidence: once gambling happened in Florida, the guy spent a great bit of time at the gambling casino; the CFO of that company was related to the founder of the Publix chain which, along with “Walkin'” Lawton, stood firmly against legalization of gambling; another note: the one from Newark Valley was the widower of a former mayor of Newark Valley; both were in two different political parties, but at that time, I was still a registered Republican; that guy was also a veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corps of World War II). Apparently there were a number of us who were looking into Jeb Bush and in various arenas in Florida and who knows where else.  

As a result, when Lawton Chiles ran for governor in 1994, his opponent was “Jebbie” Bush.  “Walkin'” Lawton defeated “Jebbie” Bush in that 1990 election.  It likely really angered “Jebbie” and I believe I have felt the target of vengeance, among many others.  For during that time, there was an influx of Republicans beginning to work a hostile takeover of our company where I owned company stock.  They were working with two that I know of.  Kenneth Lay of a natural gas company based in Houston, TX (where possibly – speculative – a NV Baptist and former Democrat racist bigot turned Republican was employed – his family enemies to my mother).  The other person was Charles Colson. Colson had bee released from prison and made his home in Naples, FL.  Other we had not found as much about him in this regard.  My bet is that he was far more involved than we knew.

If one reads the details of Charles Colson in a Wikipedia article, one discovers there is a great deal of connection to both “Jebbie” and George W. Bush.  First of all, Governor “Jebbie” pardoned Colson and returned Colson’s right to vote, in spite of being a convicted felon.  Hypocrite “Jebbie” later created a privatized prison system in Florida for the purposes of jailing black folk.  The reason? To arrest young black folk on misdemeanor charges in which white fold were NOT arrested, putting those young folk in jail with hardened criminals.  Once released those kids were often tied up with the criminals in jail and often got framed for crimes they did not commit and ended up back in jail.  Eventually they became felons who could not vote.  Do we know a church where the pastor was formerly imprisoned and framed after returning to society?  Framing is a common way to put good people away and remove their rights as citizens entitled to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in the land with “liberty and justice for all.”  It was a device used in Florida quite frequently, especially with black folk. Our Peace & Justice Ministries, an ecumenical group, worked to fight that as much as we could.  We had Protestants and Roman Catholics all working together to work in the name of Christ and top the BS being done by racists in Florida.  People up here say, “why should we be concerned because it can never happen here.”  Think again.  THINK… as Thomas J. Watson would say.

While president, George W. Bush gave an award to Charles Colson.  Did he deserve it?  Not on your life did he deserve it.

Furthermore, “Jebbie” pushed for a law called “Stand Your Ground.”  It was sold as a means to stop people with guns.  It was actually a law to shoot down black folk.  For example, shortly after the law was passed, a young black man in a car turned the volume of his rap music up to high levels.  Some white guy shot the guy and killed him.  The white guy gets off for murder based on that law in Florida.  Yet, as with Renee Good of Minnesota, the young man never threatened the white man.  

Another example.  A black person in a theater was talking during the movie.  He was shot to death by a white person. Another example. An inter-racial couple at a stop sign in Fort Lauderdale were shot dead by someone “standing his ground” because he did not believe that there should be inter-racial marriage.  

If anyone thinks this “foreshadowing” of events could never happen here?  You are mistaken and we need to be prepared for such.  

One more issue with “Jebbie.” He joined the SAR at the same time I did.  When some of us wanted to admit black folk descended from veterans of the American Revolution, “Jebbie” was opposed to such.  That would mean that my black relatives (inter-racial marriages) in Binghamton would not be able to join the SAR, based on the same ancestors I have.  

Oh, yes.  Can I forget when I was at St. Mary’s Medical Center in North Palm Beach (where “Jebbie” was on the board of directors), I was blackmailed by some woman on staff there who had said she knew “Jebbie.”  Hmmmmm.  Her last name was Ellis.  Do you know what JEB is?  JOHN ELLIS BUSH – related to the Ellis family.  She tried to blackmail me unless I expressed support for Donald Trump.  That was 2018 during Trump’s first term.  Furthermore, I am still wondering why I was carted a long distance by helicopter to St. Mary’s when there was a trauma center within a short driving distance from my home and that hospital was where my own primary care physician worked.  

The question still remains.  In the last month of “Walkin'” Lawton’s term as governor, as “Jebbie” was about to assume the office of governor, he suddenly died.  There has been talk “on the street” that Bush and that family was responsible for the death of Chiles.  But it has never been proven.  After reading the article about Charles Colson of Naples, FL, I have to speculate, based on the number of times that Colson used poisons and LSD against people whom Nixon had a vengeance.  One person was against a reporter named Jack Anderson who had released a defamatory story about Nixon just prior to the 1960 election.  Nixon held a vengeance against Anderson, blaming him for losing that election of 1960.  And even today, we still live with this bullshit with the Man-baby and the Kennedy Rose Garden and the Kennedy Performing Arts Center.  

Do I have proof that Colson was involved with Governor Chiles’s death?  No.  I do not.  Only circumstantial evidence and hearsay “on the street.”  A huge part of the circumstantial evidence is the popularity of Governor Chiles so as to defeat “Jebbie” in 1994.  It was widely known that the Bush family was scared of Governor Chiles as he had plans to run for president in 2000 and the governor of Texas was favored by the Republicans:  George W. Bush.  Chiles could have beaten Bush, for sure.  

It is also said that many who would be good leaders have been frightened by these events and don’t want to get involved in politics.  Is this true?  I don’t know.  

There is also evidence that Teddy Roosevelt may have had ADHD. In those days, there was no medications to curb ADHD, as today.  The claim has been made that those today who are like Teddy Roosevelt with ADHD would be pushed off into a background job of accounting or technology and not seeking leadership positions at all.  Is this true?  I don’t know for sure. TR’s father, Teddy Roosevelt, Sr., like many people of wealth, had purchased his way out of the draft in the Union Army of the American Civil War.  TR reacted to that by insisting, during a later stage in his life, joining forces in the Spanish-American War where he led forces up San Juan Hill in Cuba.  

 But in 2007, Democrat Lee Iacocca wrote a book titled, Where Have All the Leaders Gone? It was not conclusive, but did bring up many questions for consideration.  Iacocca did mention the favored status of the Saudi government by the Bush regime as it exited members of that royal family out of the USA following Osama Bin-Laden’s 9/11 fiasco.  And much of what was happening with the corporation where I was working – Kenneth Lay, etc. – was related to the Saudi Arabians. I have a suspicion that the attack on Iran is more than just Netanyahu and Israel.  Here we are in 2026 and the same ones who gave us high oil prices under Nixon are likely still involved with what is happening today, one way or another.  

Side note:  I have discovered that Lee Iacocca was at Lehigh University at the same time that a former Tioga County legislator from Newark Valley was at Lehigh University. 

One thing about J.B. Fletcher, the character in Murder, She Wrote, was that she had taught English in the Cabot Cove High School. She often used literary elements in her work as a mystery writer and in assisting solving murders.  Often she mentioned the use of foreshadowing in literature and applied it to real life situations.  In this case, I see Charles Colson with Nixon and others, plus Florida events from the 1990s until the present day as foreshadowing what we are seeing now.  People must not be familiar with this idea of “foreshadowing.”  Most of my writing for the past 20 years is meant to be a foreshadowing based on what we all experienced in Florida.  

Instead, I got this.  “Don’t talk to me about politics.”  It’s not politics.  Sometimes what happened in Florida had to do with murder , framing, and blackmail by people who have no morals, scruples, or ethics.  

Rather than look at what I say as a “foreshadowing” and an environment to learn from history, as I pass the historical experiences and information to others, people shoot holes in the information before even considering it.  Listening to one another?  You have to be kidding.  

The Democrats who ran the corporation where I worked often had us doing brain-storming.  NO ONE was to shoot something down and all was to be like placing our cards on the table before even discussion and communication.  But there was NEVER to be shooting at something as if some person’s ATTITUDE was that the idea was stupid.  If that shooting happened, such a person was only thinking about themselves, how THE PERSON could win, and push their narrow part of the world. Such ones had no capability for viewing the wider picture.  

There is too much shooting down of ideas and solutions among the Baby Boomers and younger.  In brain-storming of the 1980s and 1990s, those in the WWII generation were less likely to do such a thing.  They had experienced this nation going through quite a hassle in Europe and the Pacific, besides experiencing the Great Depression.  They had witnessed how this nation had to solve the problems of those days so such WWII people knew what to do in brain-storming.  The idea for researching self-insuring rather than relying on big corporate giants of insurance so as to protect against hurricanes came out of one of the quality circles brain-storming sessions.  Before we could take it any further, the GD Republicans swerved in and shut us down.  An example of how much those bastards only like big corporate billionaires, which was something I viewed in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Florida.  In those years, the Republicans shut down R&D for cold fusion and the R&D moved to Europe where they have made progress in that area, even if it is still not solved.  As with the treatment of Einstein and 19th Century “Clinton’s Ditch” builder, narrow-minded Republicans scoffed at the ideas as if they could not be used to solve problems.  Of course they could not when Republican strategy is to destroy by sabotage, as they have done with forms of public retirement and retirement healthcare which could provide capitalist ROI for retirees.  To Republicans.  It is called “capitalism, stupid.”  Capitalism with balance and profits which is not an evil thing. Meanwhile,  the one-sided lop-sided bulging pockets of billionaires is NOT capitalism. The 1000% PLUS increase in CEO salaries is NOT capitalism.  

Colson did quite a large amount of damage to this nation and then was pardoned with his rights as a felon overturned so he could vote, and then awarded a presidential award.  Life is not about winning and being vengeful when not winning.  Such actions are described in the Hebrew Scriptures with verses about vengeance such as “you must take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.”  In this time of Holy Week, we need to remember that Christ overturned that Hebrew Scripture.  Christ also would not have accepted the Machiavellian words of selfishness and greed:  “the end justifies the means.”  Colson and others all follow such a principle or else they would not have invaded the Watergate Hotel and then validated their actions by putting down those who challenged them on their evil actions because “the end justifies the means.”

And with Nixon and Watergate, we thought it was all over when Nixon resigned in 1974.  It was not.  Democrat turned Republican Ronald Wilson Reagan reared his ugly head and challenged Gerald Ford from the moderate wing of the Republican Party, setting up the path for the fascists in that party.  And going back even further, fascist Howard Taft  and Herbert Hoover of that political party.  Taft had challenged Teddy Roosevelt and the party was split in 1912.  The difference was that, in the 1970s, Gerald Ford did not know how to “speak softly and carry a big stick” when Reagan came on the scene.   That was also the beginning of huge increases in CEO salaries for people who don’t know how to make money the old fashioned way – “to earn it.”  

Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty has no idea what it means to “earn” money.  And this was known before he even ran for president in 2016, but did people take it seriously?  Nope.  

There is more. Charles Colson and the Christian Nationalists. Another day. Maybe?

When It Comes to Human Lives, Don’t Tell Me to “Agree to Disagree” Because I Might Reply with Damnation to You

It is not politics when it comes to human lives, human justice, human rights, and humanity living together in community and not as cliques which control other human beings. Lives have been lost in the Middle East due to an asswipe called the Man-baby who has no idea why he did it. That tells me he is a puppet of not only billionaires but also the Netanyahu Zionists of Israel. Zionism is a HAWKISH sect of the Jewish religion and I don’t like them as much as I don’t like those of the local Baptist Church and Christian Nationalists who believe anyone who does not believe as they do are heathens and heretics.

Those are NOT the words of a 1st Century Jewish man named Jesus Christ. My belief is that Christ is my Savior, in spite of the asswipes called Christian Nationalists who do not know the truth about Jesus Christ nor do they even understand the truth about Christ. So there. They claim we are all heathens. I just called that sect of asswipes heathens. Makes me feel better, don’t you know?

Zionism is actually similar to the 1st Century Zealots who were hawks and had one member of their group betray Jesus Christ and then he hung himself. His name was Judas Iscariot. Perhaps there was a purpose for Judas to betray Jesus Christ, but he realized his mistake and took his life, rather than repent for what he had done and change his ways. “Poor Judas” were two words used in song lyrics of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock musical, Jesus Christ Superstar. “Poor old Judas.”

Is it not time to say, “poor old Zionists and Netanyahu?” The ones who the Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty follows blindly along with Putin of Russia. The Man-baby proves that he has no brain of his own nor does he do any thinking to consider the overall picture. He is a puppet and only does what the Man-baby thinks will be best for his egotistical narcissistic ways.

In this environment, what we have during this Holy Week of 2026 is something similar to the “Saturday Night Massacre” of 1973 when Nixon fired several people due to the Watergate scandal. Just by coincidence (and I am saying ONLY coincidence, unless something proves otherwise), at that time (1973), oil prices were soaring so high that we lowered the speed limit on the interstates to 55 MPH, set up car pools, and made other attempts for consumers – you know, the DEMAND SIDE OF THE CAPITALIST MARKET – to save money and not be pushed when the envelope was pushed to extremes. One may recall driving four hours to attend college as a freshman and frequently car pooling on the trip to college and back.

What we have today, on Good Friday (3 April 2026) is a Judas-type asswipe in charge of this nation and we are there “when they crucified my LORD by killing other people. For Christ said, “those who do the least of these things to others, they do it to me.” The evil one with the Zionists are doing murder to the least of those in humanity because Christ believed in all people. Much to the chagrin of the Jews of his day, he spoke with people he was not supposed to speak with. A Samaritan woman. A prostitute. A leper. A hated tax collector. He said we need to love one another, which, according to a Lutheran pastor who wrote a book about James, the brother of Jesus, said is based IN the Jewish religion. Netanyahu and the Zionists, like Judas the Zealot, are NOT acceptable Jews, just as the American Christian Nationalists and the Man-baby in charge are NOT true Christians. Thus, this week, we viewed the “Holy Week Massacre.”

Furthermore Netanyahu and the Zionists demonstrate what it means with the oppressed becoming the oppressors. It happened with the fucking gentile puritans in the USA. It has happened with Roman Catholics, too. In 1948, the USA and its WWII allies were so comforting to the plight of the Jews in Europe, they helped them set up the nation we call Israel. The intent was not to make oppressors out of those who were oppressed, but to bring freedom to the Jews. When they fought, it was in defense of their land. This crap today is offensive and I mean obnoxious offensive done by oppressors who need to be shut down. Stop being like Judas Iscariot, you asswipes.

The person who told me, today, it was okay for us to “agree to disagree,” I say this. Your attitude sucks because I was addressing issues related to humanity not the fucking Man-baby and his fascist dictatorship which goes against humanity. It is NOT about politics when I am FORCED to pay a huge cost for injections in the eye while all other developed nations have FREE HEALTHCARE. Besides this consideration, there is another consideration. I spent almost 50 years paying into Medicare and could figure a large amount of money. It is a huge sum of money when it is added together, PLUS the fact I STILL INVEST IN MEDICARE TODAY WHILE BEING RETIRED. I SHOULD have access to the money so as to not pay huge amounts for healthcare. But due to the sabotage of people like the fucking Man-baby, we don’t get what we invested in a scenario of CAPITALIST ROI. What is ROI? Look it up in the dictionary, you dickheads. You MAGA shitheads. You fucking lousy ones who call us “Dumocrats” when we attempt to reason about CAPITALIST ROI. And where is MY MONEY GOING? To kill people in the Middle East, not for healthcare for the living. Fuck the USA military and the hawks running the Dept. of Offensiveness, not the Dept. of DEFENSE. Fuck all of you because you have pushed the envelope far beyond what our Founding Fathers would have accepted.

My apologies for becoming so irritated, but I am fed up with dismissing me with “agree to disagree” when it comes to human issues. That is fucking lousy thing to say to me. The stupid ones who cannot THINK are not even looking at things from an overall broad picture and are unable to discern right from wrong. We expect a secular government in the USA because we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION. Just because I use such words does NOT negate the fact that I believe in love for one another – unconditional love. Because we have a leadership which really sucks and tries to force their hawkish ways upon all of us – an attitude opposite to love and called hatred. Besides, I have seen more use of the “f” word on Facebook by people whom I have known rarely use the word. What is the fucking Man-baby going to do? Line us all up like the Jews in Europe and gun us down into mass graves? That is called genocide.

As a result, we end up in this nation with a fucking lousy leadership which crucifies our LORD. We shall overcome.

From the LORD’S prayer:

A Little Cheese with My W(h)ine! Media Destruction of Biden

We have this Man-baby in charge. I have never liked the man since using one of his real estate persons in Florida to purchase my first Palm Beach County home. That was 1996. I hoped I could get over the bastard. The bastard returned into my life in 2016. I wanted Hillary Clinton, as did most of those in the popular vote where Hillary won over the Man-baby.

We then had Joe Biden. I had always liked Joe Biden. Maybe there was an imperfection. But overall, I liked President Biden. I liked Vice President Kamala Harris, too. I find it disgusting those who think either one was “not qualified” enough. Usually it was due to some imperfection. Bullshit on imperfection because we are ALL imperfect at some point. But what is the overall picture?

Why have so many Americans lost sight of the appreciation for what America is all about, in SPITE OF IMPERFECTIONS at times? What has caused this?

First of all, it was Reagan/Bush and the removal of the Fairness Doctrine. BTW. When I mention it was Reagan, then someone contests me that it was Bush. I say Bush and someone contests me that it was Reagan. That is another problem with Americans of the Baby Boom Generation and younger. They don’t consider the point being made but feel compelled to shoot something down – perfection babies. That is bullshit. There is not perfection. But by not taking a look at the overall picture with Hillary, Biden and Kamala, we have ended up with this shithead whom a British tabloid called the “Man-baby.” I call him the Man-baby Trumpty Dumpty who has falls and everyone puts him back together again.

The Fairness Doctrine in the media was put together following World War II so as to protect America against what the Nazis did to Germany. Hitler Propaganda Minister Goebbels utilized a strategy to tell lies over and over again until they become the truth. Propaganda. Americans who suffered under World War II were intelligent enough to see that we needed that Fairness Doctrine. The freaking lousy Baby Boomers and younger cut off their noses in spite of their faces. Thus, they care unable to discern fact from fiction and fall in line, especially the younger ones who were never taught the words of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution or Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, etc., who are not able to discern what is right and wrong with regard to morality and ethics. And these asswipes never learn from history that prohibition (alcohol, gambling and what not) have NEVER WORKED to teach a society right and wrong. That history shows us that censorship does not work, either. In fact, there are European examples today that regulation and moderation education work better than prohibition and censorship. Even Bobby Kennedy, Jr., gave a 2007 speech with FACTS and FIGURES that Massachusetts regulation of abortion did a better job of curtailing the number of abortions than the state of Mississippi (and so many lousy Dixie states from the old Confederacy and still fighting the civil war) did with attempts to PROHIBIT abortions. Stupid SCOTUS with no brains never saw this. And now I guess Kennedy believes “if you can’t beat them, then join them” – with his stupid idiotic asswipe crap about “anti-vax” vaccination position with no facts to back himself up.

Without the Fairness Doctrine, the media has become such an abysmal nightmare, it is unbelievable. During the Biden administration, how many times did the media put out good vibes about Biden’s accomplishments? How many times did the media keep broadcasting all the f***ing crap in front of crowds which the Man-baby gave us? People bought it, too.

How many times did I hear people AND the media complain about inflation during the Biden years? Many times. Yet the facts and figures told a different story and if one just looked at prices on the grocery shelves, one could see where there were increases and where there were not. If one was a skillful intelligent consumer on the DEMAND side of a capitalist market, they could have helped lower inflation even more. But no. Asswipe instant gratification Baby Boomers and younger HAD to have what they WANTED and never considered “what is it I NEED and how does that fall in line with prices?” Had the NEED outweighed the WANT, then one would have seen the price of beef short ribs to be over $10 per pound and dozen eggs to be over $5. There is no NEED for such when there are plenty of other options at lower prices. But no. Let us go along with the media and the result was to lambast Biden, Harris and the Democrats. You stupid jerks who cannot even discern the differences between what was right and what was wrong.

Furthermore, the environment for supply-side Reaganomics monopolies stupifies Americans. It has become far worse now than it was when we had more WWII generation people still with us. Don’t learn from history because the Republicans have done a number on civics and history education, let alone the information specialists in libraries who have been destroyed by the Republicans. Under leaders in business and education who were Democrats, I have witnessed business and education thrive with good results while Republicans worked to sabotage it all rather than work with others who were not so fixated on bulging pockets rather than a simple thing such as PROFITS. Profits not such a love of money that the executives bulge their pockets so much that we have seen an increase since the 1970s in salaries of those idiots in corporate board rooms increase more than 1000%. Ever check to see what has happened to the idea of living wages for common folk in that same time period? Something Bernie Sanders addresses. And where have jobs gone? Few can hold positions at the top and those jobs at the bottom have gone to other nations – nations which provide FREE HEALTH CARE while the billionaires of America with their freaking lousy puppet regime find ways to make it more difficult for common folk Americans to find jobs and receive adequate healthcare without going broke.

No. The reasons today’s fascist Republicans want to stupify Americans in this regard is this. It is all done for the whims of billionaires and others so as to get common folk on board the submarine which is heading for a crash on the ocean floor. And let us get scared by ICE and other maneuvering strategies by billionaires and their puppet regime run by a mentally ill bastard called the Man-baby.

I see the manipulation of the media to always show Trumpty Dumpty’s face on television, while all the good things Biden and Kamala accomplished are ignored, while the media is talking about bullshit like inflation, while it was actually decreasing and the Federal budget heading more towards a balance than towards insolvency which is used as a means to destroy Social Security and Medicare where the common folk have INVESTED their own money and don’t want it used for the Federal general budget items. Musk and others have devised this strategy towards insolvency of a government so as to use it as an excuse to STEAL from common folk and ignore the ROI we all deserve from money we put into that system. It is called SABOTAGE by Republican fascists doing the will of an autocratic oligarchy It is called THIEVERY by Republican fascists doing the will of an autocratic oligarchy. It is called VANDALISM by Republican fascists doing he will of the autocratic oligarchy.

The ones in control and power are the money lovers who stole rather than EARNED their way to the top. They did it to me and others like me in Florida who were laid off – as early a the 1990s. Sure. I should not be asking for a little “cheese with my w(h)ine” because after all, I got through it. I was lucky that I had friends who were Democrats who cared for me more than the Republicans who just went along with the fascists. But not all are so lucky to have had that. And I am not talking about Democrats who were leaders with handouts. I am talking about Democrats who often were NOT leaders but helped blaze a path of OPPORTUNITIES, not handouts. And that is the difference between the thievery of the wealthy who no longer make money the old fashioned way – the “earn it.”

The puppetry of the penis by the autocratic oligarchy needs to stop. Such asswipes make it easy to call Republicans Republi-dumss. Make it easy to see that the word Republican in the dictionary is found between “reptiles” and “repugnant.”

Anyone for cheese and wine, my friends and fellow common folk Americans? I’m ready! The “cheese” I hope for is a return to an environment with a Fairness Doctrine and recognition that hate speech and lying (slander) is NOT protected as free speech. That is my cheese with the wine.

Note: AI is supposed to work in WordPress. Seems it is being used to block me. So….

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.

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.

Resounding Loss Statement Means Demonstrating Being a WIMP

​Wimps, wimps and nothing but wimps. Afraid to say emphatically, “Do not vote for Republicans. PERIOD.” Wimps are afraid to say this. But the Republican Party is NOT the Republican Party to which I registered when I turned 18 and registered to vote. IT IS NOT. The Republican Party SHOULD be called the American Fascist Party. PERIOD. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you want fascism, you would vote for an authoritarianism which is no different from what Gus Hall and the American Communist Party wanted.

Just because Blakeman has mucho dollars does not mean a “resounding loss” for Governor Hochul. That indicates the American Fascist Party (aka Republicans) want to push fear and intimidation about not having enough money to win. In the process, these fascists bury all other issues because they cannot defend the other issues with facts rather than emotions. Get real. Get tough against fascists.

Let’s get real and face the reality of what is happening. Stop being WIMPS. 

Begin to address civil rights.  Just because a Muslim heads New York City, challenge strongly what the American Fascist Party (aka, Republicans today) are saying about Muslims being “terrorists.”  One Muslim might do something distasteful which is similar to what some white Christians might do. With white Christians then, does it mean ALL white Christian people are bad? Doe it mean all white people are terrorists? Go to hell if you think that because you are letting your EMOTIONS run your brain and with absolutely no logic.

Be strong, not weak.  Don’t be WIMPS.

Challenge the idiocy of “bloody” Man-baby fascists like Blakeman and say they follow a goosestep similar to the one done in Nazi Germany under Hitler.  Hit hard. Does the majority support Nazi or fascist ideas?  What the hell is the fear of saying such things?  If the majority is like that, then I will eat my hat.  Stop being so kind.

Convince New Yorkers that they should NOT vote for ANY Republican at ANY level because they are all in lockstep with fascism and a party claiming to be Republican.  Speak out that the Republican Party should not be called the Republican Party but the American Fascist Party.  Split the Republican Party down the middle.  Be tough.  Be hard.  Don’t beat around the bush.  Give examples of achievements of integration and multi-cultural multi-racial society.  Get tough.  Be hard.

Speak out that the love of money, not just money itself. The love of money is the root of all evil.  Money is what we use to live our lives financially stable, so it is NOT evil. Make the difference. Greed and selfishness go with money-loving jerks. Speak about such people as being money-loving jerks who don’t care if they take from others so as to gather much money together. by means of the free market that despicable freaking lousy Reagan gave to them on their path to amassing money out of love for money, not other human beings.

Speak out that profits are not love of money, but a matter of living financially well in a capitalist economy. 

Speak up that “disposable income” is a lousy term to use to represent PROFITS for the common man and woman. Profits are NOT a love of money but just like “balance” in our personal wealth so we can all live a life of “pursuit of happiness.”  

Paradigm shifts about attitudes need to be said.  DO IT.  

Resounding loss is a pitiful statement from wimps.  Stop being wimps.

Back in the day, Joe Biden should have stood behind Anita Hill at the hearings to confirm Clarence Thomas.  Stop playing Mr. Nice Guy and DO SOMETHING.  NOW before it is too late. How about if we learn from the history of that ordeal and not cry in our milk about something which happened several decades ago?

One writer says, “According to fascists, only those who share the correct attributes can be part of ‘the people’ and therefore true members of society. Others are outsiders, perhaps tolerated as guests if they respect their place and society feels generous. But outsiders have no right to be part of the democratic order: Their votes should not count.”

To be quite frank and to put it bluntly (not mildly), the idea that “only those who share the correct attributes” can be part of “the people” is a BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT statement.

Further, f***ing Tucker Carlson is an asswipe and a traitor. “This helps explain why Tucker Carlson claims “our democracy is no longer functioning” First of all, show us the evidence of this statement that “democracy is no longer functioning.” Secondly, rather than unleash DESTRUCTIVE forces, work together for REFORM of any problems in our democratic government. Find some thoughts from ideas of BEST PRACTICES and invoke them, don’t destroy what has worked for 250 years, you asswipe MAGA Maggots and Tucker Carlson. Go to hell.

The full statement from the author mentioned above: “This helps explain why Tucker Carlson claims ‘our democracy is no longer functioning,’ because so many nonwhites have the vote. It also helps explain why Carlson and others so vigorously promote the ‘great replacement theory,’ the idea that liberals are encouraging immigrants to come to the U.S. with the specific purpose of diluting the political power of ‘true’ Americans.”

This is all a BULLSHIT and treasonous statement made by Tucker Carlson. He needs to be executed for treason. PERIOD. He is worse than Benedict Arnold who defended mentally ill King George III of Britain. We executed Timothy McVeigh for his attack on black people in Oklahoma. Carlson and the fascists are doing nothing more than re-defining the Pledge of Allegiance where it says, “liberty and justice FOR ALL.” And this is why, for more than 20 years now, I have been attempting to highlight this statement in the Pledge and no one pays one damn bit of attention to what I say. Instead they listen to jerks like Carlson.

I have also been highlighting words such as “… life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Another wording I have been highlighting is the following three words: “WE THE PEOPLE…” which are the first three words of the U.S. Constitution (Preamble). I usually point out that it does not indicate an aggregate few groups like, “we the billionaires of America” or “we the white folk of America” or “we the fascist thinking people of America” or “we the Bills fans of America” or… so on.

The writer of the article continues with: “The importance of seeing the people as an exclusive, privileged group, one that actually includes rather than is represented by the leader, is also at work when Trump denigrates Republicans who defy him, even in the smallest ways, as “Republicans in Name Only.” The same is also true when other Republicans call for these “in-house” critics to be cast out of the party, for to them any disloyalty is equivalent to defying the will of the people.”

What the writer fails to mention is that the “privileged group” today is nothing more than what Europe had with the “privileged group” of the aristocracy and divine right to rule. We fought our American Revolution to tear down that notion. Anyone bringing this up today is a traitor to the U.S. and our American Revolution with the Declaration of Independence of 1776.

All of the quotations above are found in a writing at UC Davis by Mark R. Reiff, 8 November 2022. The writing appears to be somewhat well researched, but could also touch those who are confused by democracy. Therefore, we should share suggestions for reform, not destruction of democracy. First thing is to fully understand how democracy should be best handled and fascism does not do it justice at all. And a democratic leader of the 20th Century made a succinct statement about democracy which people should not just pass off and come to understand it.

Prime Minister of Great Britain during World War II (against the Hitler regime) said: “Democracy is a very bad form of government, but all the others [including fascism and Nazism and authoritarianism and communism and autocracy and benevolent dictatorships] are so much worse.”

Taking a closer look at what Churchill said, we can say that “democracy is slow becasue we must attain a consensus and that takes time. Autocracies and authoritarianism has one person to make a quick decision. Don’t argue that. But what if that decision does NOT take into account an overall view of ALL the people, as fascism does? What happens to the portion of the population who ends up getting stamped on by such a hasty decision. Even a declaration of war is a slow process in a democracy and there is a reason for it. The Man-baby’s attacks on Iran have demonstrated this and if you don’t take a look at what has happened, then all I can say is you are a dumb jerk dismissing what I say. Furthermore, it was the Republicans who sabotaged efforts in the 1930s and 1940s to send aid to help protect Britain and other nations in Europe from Hitler’s war to FORCE people to abide by fascism. And what did Hitler do to groups who refused to abide by his dictatorial stink? Genocide. Who can justify genocide when democracy would help to avoid genocide. Reiff of UC Davis never even mentions this in his 2022 article. Gaining peace without justice means people are executed and murdered. Fascism creates such a barbaric society. We can learn from the historical examples of fascism in the Roman Empire. Reiff never touched on these aspects so as to LEARN FROM HISTORY, rather than the f***ing emotions generated because something in democracy does not work for some people.

Which means that Reiff never touched on the ideas regarding civilized society and civility v. barbarism with execution and genocide. Even Cubans displaced by one authoritarian regime when they were living under another authoritarian regime have come to America and MANY have pushed for civility in America. Not all Cubans, like f***ing Rubio, but MANY have done so. But then. What is Rubio’s background? He is not only Cuban, but also comes from an Italian Mussolini fascist background.

Learn from history, Mr. Reiff and incorporate thoughts of civility and civilization which require guidelines with democracy and balance to make life better, as is defined by our American Founding Fathers.

Rather than work for destruction of democracy, here is my list of suggestions for reform. (There are many more which can be added to this list and in a democracy can be added by others who refuse to simply dismiss mine and replace with their egotistical inspired suggestions, as would happen with fascists who survive because they think they are experts or… “drips under pressure”).

(1) Eliminate the Electoral College; it is an outdated 18th Century guideline (2) Eliminate gerrymandering; it is an outdated 19th Century guideline. (3) Have the members of the House of Representatives reflect the same percentage of the entire population as the example of our House of Representatives when we began this government in 1790; in this case, we made a mistake in updating the original 18th Century guidelines. (4) Return to the 18th Century definition of the U.S. Senate when governors of each state appoint two senators; too many candidates for the people to vote make the election process confusing – vote for governor and understand the governor appoints the senators. (5) If MAGA and the Man-baby have such a thrill out destruction, then DESTROY THE PACs and put limits on campaign financing so one group of people with all the money CANNOT control our government – oh, I forgot but those asswipes who have all the money are not usually those of color, are they? In other words DESTROY the SCOTUS Citizens United Decision. (6) To put a limit on campaign financing, have members of the House of Representatives serve ONLY one term which coincides with the 10-year census; KISS. (7) While we are at it, stop the “till death do we part terms of SCOTUS.” (8) Change the dynamic nature of changes of congressional districts to one of a static nature and still assure that each House member represents the number of people stipulated by the laws or has a weighted vote according to the population. (9) Return to the days of balance in the economy which were put in place by the Roosevelts: Teddy, Franklin D., and Eleanor. Notice there are Republican and Democrat in those I named, but no fascists. (10) DESTROY ICE. (11) Solidify the voting rights and civil rights acts into constitutional amendments. (12) Resume and/or increase the teaching of history and civics in public education, including memorization of the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. (13) Resume and/or increase the teaching of the history of ALL people who have made this nation happen and demonstrate how much we should appreciate what we have in this nation, due to ALL people in this nation. (14) Stop corporal punishment in all American schools because it goes against some people’s religions and our Constitution guarantees a freedom of religion; we CAN create humility for the purpose of having people learn and it can be done WITHOUT corporal punishment or humiliation of people and children so as to create a humility to learn; could be done should we all come together rather than some working to sabotage such efforts. (15) Finally, and most importantly, if we keep ICE, than use it to DESTROY the entire Trump Man-baby Regime, MAGA shitheads, and the American Fascist Party which sabotages democracy. Why do we have the elimination of teaching of civics and history in schools? Because this has been a plan carried out now for decades, since the original fascist, Reagan, who claimed he represented something other than authoritarian Communism. He did not. Sabotage and telling lies over and over again so the lies become the truth has been the Goebellizataion of America since Reagan and no one listened to those of us who pointed it out. We were crazy, don’t you know? Why have we ended up like this? Because of the Bush elimination of the Fairness Doctrine and wimpy Obama, when asked to put it back in place, not doing so. What an example of a unilateral authoritarian mechanism than what George H.W. Bush did, as well as Reagan. We may have delayed much of what we see today by keeping Bush to only one term. The sabotage of the banking industry also began under Bush with his son, Neil and the S&L hoax when Neil was caught with his hands in the cookie jar. What a deliberate way to destroy the S&L and banking regulation created by FDR. And Jeb Bush used it in the early 2000s in Florida (perhaps Trump was also involved?) by manipulating the price of housing so much that in just a few years, prices of housing went up 125%. This was an increase which far exceeded the length of time of a 30-year mortgage. It destroyed the housing market and banks like Chase and Bank of America swooped in to pick up the pieces so as to raise prices to levels so high that only the wealthy could afford the housing while common folk were forced to rent and lose the homestead exemption in Florida.

Side note. Once again, apparently the MAGA maggots have some instrument of destruction on WordPress to block the AI image generation I have used in the past on WordPress. All of a sudden it has stopped. I will continue pointing this out until WordPress does something to sabotage whatever app it uses and destroy and shut down the sabotage. I have tried 20 times to generate an image. I have tried several different types of image generation. Apparently, I am being blocked.

Was Maeleine Albright targeted with bad words because she was too intelligent regarding fascism and the fascists building power and control within the Republican Party were fearful about what she could accomplish? Were too many Americans too stupid to notice or just bent on going about with their partying and sex to take notice? I wonder.

I make no apologies for using words as bullshit, shithead, and hell, so forth. If there was not too much of our media focusing on pushing what the fascists want, I would not be using this language. Until that stops and we return to the Fairness Doctrine in the media, I refuse to stop using vulgar language. Please note how many times I like to use f***ing rather than the true word. I try to stop there.

A FASCIST Idea From Lovers of Hitler and Mussolini: America, Love it or Leave It

This is how bad search engines have become, whether Google or DuckDuckGo. There was a time when I was able to find information about how to write a formula in Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc. The formulas were to calculate the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th Wed of each month, projecting the dates into the future because the Wednesdays are important for my finances. I saved the formulas. For most of the formulas, they still work. All of a sudden, I experience a NAME? error in the formula to calculate the 1st Monday. I have changed nothing in the names in this particular formula nor for any of the others. The others work as usual. This one gives an error when I changed nothing in the spreadsheet which contains these formulas. This is a common thing. Having settings changed on us on computers, laptops, or smart phones when we did not do the change and have no idea as to find the setting or the change and have to spend hours trying to find out and no one in the tech industry gives one damn about helping their fellow human beings. Me, me, me first and being consumed only with me and not giving one damn about others. You don’t believe me? Walk in my shoes to see for yourself.

So. I search for the help aids I once had to write the formulas. Whether I use Google or DuckDuckGo, and search with word such as “calculate” (which is what I used in years past), I get, “how to find…” I don’t want how to find, so I use what once existed in search engines to eliminate “find” from search. It was the word NOT preceding, in this case, find or the “-” sign to indicate NOT. In other words, -FIND. These search mechanisms once worked. I know. I used them for many years after retrieving instructions provided by Google in those years. Today I can add NOT find about a dozen times in the search and the first result, whether with NOT or without NOT, the first result is FIND.

People. I spend hours and hours trying to find the answers, something I once DID NOT do in spending the time. Yet, when I explain this to others in this GODDAMN me-first society of Ebeneezer Scrooges, I get this… for example, excess spam in Google email or other gmail functions I know about…… TRY THIS, as if I am some kind of idiot and don’t know enough to TRY THIS… I did. Over and over again, plus many other ways to attempt to solve the problem. None work. So don’t treat me like I am an idiot who does not know what I am doing when my statements are to find a team of people in this nation who are interested in solving the problem for more than just “me, me, me first.” If I solve a problem, I share it with others and it is NOT just for myself.

Another example. Walgreens has bought up many rural drug stores which were once serving their communities with pharmacists who were local, owned their own pharmacy, and cared about the customers and the community in the way George F. Johnson showed care and concern when he founded and ran Endicott Johnson Shoes. Walgreens sucks because it does not care about how best to provide prescriptions for the communities on weekends. They shut down on weekends in rural areas. In one community east of Binghamton, NY, the people there got up in arms and protested the decision. The situation in that town got put on channel 12 News from Binghamton. Here in Newark Valley, the ones who complain are nothing but complainers, even though it’s the same situation in another rural town where they did not just fall over and play dead.

We are such complainers that a pharmacist told me to “just leave this nation.” “I would if I could, was my reply.” And then I departed.

I would if I could means this: if I could take the MEDICARE MONEY I invested over some 40 years in a CAPITALIST way (and this was done by means of taxes, a socialist way, so Rick the Prick Scott now in the U.S. Senate can claim its socialism and STEAL, STEAL, STEAL from our money we INVESTED in Medicare. The SOB Rick the Prick Scott has stolen from the people in other ways, too. I can go into many examples it was done, for the sake of big oil of Texas.

But Donald Trump likes this prick of a SOB Scott, but says, “even pleading the 5th amendment means someone is guilty.” How many times did Rick the PRICK Scott plead the 5th when the trial against the fraudulence of Rick the Prick in Florida? Another words, it’s ok to plead the 5th if you are wealthy, like a Trump or a Rick the Prick, but if a Democrat who does not have as much money, it’s wrong to plead the 5th.

Once again, I diverge in order to try to hammer out my point. I don’t give a damn any more whether I diverge or not. Because either way, no one gets my point.

Medicare tax and FICA tax have given an excuse for the wealthy to call this “socialism” when it is NOT socialism. I can prove that it is LONG-TERM CAPITALIST INVESTMENTS INTO LOWER-RISK POOLS OF MONEY FOR THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE CALLED THE USA. Shall I repeat this or is someone going to find SOME WAY to shoot holes in what I say, rather than consider the IMPORTANCE of what I say. OK. Repeat. Medicare and Social Security are LONG-TERM CAPITALIST INVESTMENTS INTO LOWER-RISK POOLS OF MONEY FOR THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE CALLED THE USA.

I am even hearing lunkheads who are among the common folk and put down the developments of alternative fuels, solar, and so forth, in defense of the pricks of oil men in Texas. They have companies which are SOLELY oil and don’t want any competition from those who promote the continued subsistence on oil which pollutes the atmosphere. What about those of us who invest in OIL companies which are also doing research on the alternative fuel sources? What are we, chopped liver who need to leave this nation because, as asshole Texas oil men and Abbott or Cruz of Texas, think, “it’s my way or the highway” – fascists. We who lived during the Vietnam war era, started with a false Gulf of Tonkin Resolution for the sake of power over oil, recall people saying, “America, love it or leave it.”

I say to the GODDAMN freaking fascists like Trump, Rick the Prick, Ron DeSantis, AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT – an America for which we need to appreciate what was given to us by wealthy people who actually loved this nation over “me, me, me” and being like Scrooge was.

I belong to the Sons of the American Revolution, as does Jeb Bush of Florida. Jeb has no idea what that means, another SOB from another SOB family. My ancestor upon whom I joined, Capt. Frederick J. Schoonmaker, was a wealthy man during the time of the American revolution. He did not try to avoid taxes. He CONTRIBUTED TO THIS FLEDGLING GOVERNMENT AS A MEANS TO INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF AMERICA. HEAR THIS OR DO I NEED TO SPEAK MORE LOUDLY? THE PARK SYSTEM, WHICH TRUMP AND OTHERS WISH TO DESTROY, WAS CREATED AS A METHOD TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE IN AMERICA. THAT PARK SYSTEM WAS CREATED WITH THE HELP OF WEALTHY PEOPLE IN AMERICA WHO WANTED TO PRESERVE OUR WILDLIFE AND NOT MAKE MONEY BY POLLUTING IT.

Even, Teddy Roosevelt, a GOOD WEALTHY POLITICIAN, wanted to conserve the wildlife of American. Interesting enough, my Capt. Frederick Schoonmaker is from a family inter-married with the wealthy Roosevelts.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was smart in starting the pooled funds for Social Security. He was stupid in calling the revenues into Social Security the FICA tax. it is NOT a tax but a long-term investment into a government-run pooled resource with lower risk than individual accounts.

My dad told me he had essentially lost his shirt with individual retirement accounts. His losses, according to what he told me, were in the 2008 recession, a recession run by Shrub. He HAD to rely only on his investments by way of FICA (plus VA benefits for health where his return on investment was only because he served his nation and no money invested in it). Yet it was Shrub and others who privatized Medicare and made it the nightmare of a system it is today, for the benefit of the wealthy. I like to eat donut holes and clear them off a plate of donuts.

So, the complaints about the hours of a rural Walgreens, the convoluted practices of the Medicare donut hole for common folk in their older age, glucose monitors REQUIRED by —- WHOM? That is a good question —- WHOM —- Medicare or Medicare Excellus private insurance —- WHO is at fault? When the glucose monitor FORCED down our throats is a lousy one which I can take numbers repeatedly in a matter of a minute or so and every number comes up lower by several points. And asking WHY I see a monitor in Walmart which says ON THE BOX, “paid for by Medicare Part B, but am told by Walgreens that there is only ONE monitor paid by Medicare – the lousy Libre one. And when I ask about the monitors, I get told to call the company. Yeah. Call and wade through hours and hours of speaking to computers before getting a human being. I told this pharmacist that when my dad owned a business here, he did not tell his customers to call Gibson refrigerators when one broke down. He went to fix it – backed up what he sold as a small business person. And he did not charge a “minimum charge” just for coming to the house. The only ones who did that were the lousy sales and service people on lousy Long Island and had big companies – and fraud and unethical behavior, too. From dating a girl from Long Island, I learned about those, too.

And many complain about drive-by shootings? Someone should live in Lake Worth or Boynton Beach, FL, to see just how bad they can be. I am speaking about the state run by a Republican one-party government for more than 20 years now. Run by fascists like Rick the Prick and Ron DeSantis. Even Jeb Bush was a fascist who privatized the jail system so it becomes one of TRYING to put people e in jail so as to support a profit motive. All due to Jeb Bush and his “me, me, me” stand your ground gun shit.

And I try to find out WHY, for all these concerns i have and I am told that if I did not like these things, that I need to “leave this nation” —- ?????

The days that this Walgreens pharmacy was owned by a LOCAL small business man, as my dad was, and we had a local person interested in the community and the customers. Walgreens sends us a pharmacist who, when I ask questions which impact my LIFE AND DEATH, I get told to leave this nation. Don Jordan, who once owned Valley Pharmacy NEVER would have done that. NEVER.

Next door to this Walgreens is a locally owned supermarket which has been in the family for some three or four generations. I don’t get treated in that supermarket in the manner I was treated at a large-scale pharmacy chain. If I see a need for a product they don’t have in the supermarket, they are very kind and attempt to get it. I am most thankful for what they do. If they can get it they will bring it to their shelves. If not, I understand – they can’t get it. They are small, so there are times I need to drive eight miles away to Weis, Price Chopper, or Grand Union. Or order through Amazon. But those are always last resort because I appreciate the efforts of those in a small business who are the greatest.

Even the Weis, Price Chopper, and Grand Union are stores owned by chains. Those stores are part of smaller chains than Walgreens.

Walgreens, a corporation with top brass fat pigs who wished to LEAVE THIS NATION and move overseas. It was the Obama administration which worked to keep it here, for the sake of providing jobs for Americans. People also need to understand the history here. When this tiny little supermarket was begun in a small store on Water Street, they faced competition from A&P across the street. A chain store. Which remains here in this town? A small supermarket. Where is A&P? Gone. The A&P in a nearby town remained for many years until the chain went belly up. A CVS Pharmacy sits on the spot of that A&P, a Walgreens across the street in an building which once was home to Grand Union. I don’t remember the A&P here in this town because it was gone before I was born.

When my dad got pissed at the larger company which bought out the small business in which he worked for some 20 years. He quit and formed his own business. I am told my father’s business outlasted the bigger company.

Today, the buildings for that larger company are now the Hutchinson Town Hall. Hutchinson. A relation to the family which ran the local supermarket for years. Part of my dad’s business is now being run from a location near the southern town line. That other business is gone.

The local supermarket people have been most wonderful, including the owner whom, I am told, had to be taken to Cleveland because there was no healthcare facility, locally or even across the PA border, who could help him. He went to the same hospital which also owns a hospital in Miami, FL, where I used cardiologists from that same organization.

And when we sat in a bar to get a meal (not drinks), waiting for our car which was being handled nearby, we heard, for almost two hours, the men in that bar, talking about the lousy healthcare in the Binghamton area. Never once did I hear ANY one of them speak about the bail situation in New York. Not once. It was about the lousy healthcare and UHS was one name I heard come up.

I don’t want to bring this up, but… I was born in the hospital which is now owned by UHS. A couple years after I was born there, several babies died at Wilson Memorial because someone put salt, rather than sugar, in the formulas. My dad read the newspaper quite frequently and shared that article with me, from the Evening Press of Binghamton. I was just a little kid at the time. But I don’t forget it.

So, I am a complainer who should leave this nation? According to a pharmacist I should. Just do things “prescribed” (no pun intended) in the fascist way, by the big fat pigs of America who refuse to pay their taxes, have had an increase of some 1000% since BEFORE Reagan and his freaking lousy deregulation and supply-side economics (which is NOT capitalism) and shut up, huh? Like politics in a democracy, capitalism is about checks and balances. Deregulation removes the balances between supply and demand or between investments and return on investments. In the process, the little guy, including small business people, are destroyed. I will not shut up. And I chose to live in this nation because of my ancestors who built it, for which I appreciate, even with the lack of perfections over time. There is no perfection. And that is why we common folk need to put our heads together, speak up, and work together to find the best solutions based on best practices, not on what the “me, me, me” lousy attitudes of the fat pigs at the top. I have an investments in oil companies which pursue alternative fuels, including SOLAR and ELECTRIC CARS. Checks and balances for our future and those who follow us in death.

Am I supposed to be subservient to those who have tons of money and only push for a Keystone project, oil drilling on the coast of Florida with a danger of pollution, fracking (which destroys well water), and the big oil of Texas? What am I? Chopped liver? If you say so, then YOU are the traitors of this nation which was built for YOU, the common person.

Right now, the only one who gives us checks and balances is a man named Joe Biden. He is MY president. With his good and his imperfections. He is still OUR president. I am sick and tired of hearing the lies about him. I am not going to shut up about having to leave the nation in which I was born so that some people can steal from other Americans, as much as I have observed, among other events, in the 20-year one-party fascist Republican system of Florida. The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF).

As I once told a friend who felt as if I did not like her because I sounded as if I did not like Republicans anymore, it is not being a Republican for which I characterized her. I told this person that it is how wonderful I think of this one person and the great person she is, not which political party to which she belongs. After all, I was once a Republican, but I could no longer tolerate the LEADERSHIP of the party. It was not those individuals at my level in which I formed my ideas because many of them are good people. But the people I associated during Vietnam conflict era were NOT those who said, “America, love it or leave it.” I tried to stay as far away from such people, as possible. And I know there were some in this little town where I grew up who felt that way. But I won’t mention names.

Allen West Lost His Rights When he Hurled False Label of Communist

When Allen West falsely accused his colleagues in Congress of being “communist,” the man lost his rights to be a representative in our Federal government.  Just as justices finally struck down Jim Crow laws, those who supported hateful measures such as Jim Crow Laws lost their rights.  Hate is not an opinion.  We don’t have a right to wrongly label people “communist” when they are not.  Allen West has no right to represent ALL the people in his district because he is a hateful man unwilling to consider the opinions of others who might not agree with him.  His actions truly do represent fascism.

I am a problem-solver.  I tend to find capitalism a better economic system.  I don’t like communism at all, especially the type implemented in the former Soviet Union, Communist China, and Cuba.  I don’t like the type of overwhelming socialism which squelches capitalism.  Yet, when the demand-side of a market is a perpetual one with people ALWAYS having a need – such as healthcare – capitalism does not work as well.  Paranoid Nixon implemented a healthcare insurance system based on huge corporate conglomerate monopolies.  He was afraid of communism and socialism.  Yet his solution was the worst possible capitalist solution which could have been dreamed up because inevitably large monopolies become nothing more than the huge centralized bureaucracies which existed in the former Soviet Union.  If Allen West would come to understand this, rather than acting like a bastard and a jerk, he would garner more respect.  But I have absolutely no respect for the man, no more than I respect the white men who imposed Jim Crow on HIS people.

Healthcare ALWAYS has a demand.  The products sold at Wal-Mart and other retail outlets may not always have a demand.  Even with food, I have food I have grown myself sitting in my freezer, so I could find a way to survive for some time, if necessary.  But we are not able to always create healthcare for us.  There is a perpetual demand.  An insurance monopoly, always having a demand, can set prices  on the supply-side to whatever it wishes.  It’s not about what the market will bear – as in retail, but about how much insurance monopolies can scalp us all.  Allen West and others don’t get it, even when many of us speak in terms of CAPITALISM.

ObamaCare proposes measures to create smaller competitive businesses pooled together.  They have not all been put in place.  Some might figure it may not go far enough, while others wish to disband it entirely.  If it does not go far enough, the answer is to tweak it and make it better, not suspend it entirely.  There are too many good things which are part of the plan.  Republicans are simply stupid in not considering these other aspects and shutting many of us down by calling us “communists.”  The only “communists” are paranoid ones like Nixon who stupidly invoked monopolistic practices.  Stupid ones like Reagan who MANDATED hospital ERs take care of poor people.  Between monopolies which raise costs at whim and the expensive costs forced upon hospitals, American healthcare is too damned expensive.

At the university where West’s wife sits on the Board, I was a student of music.  I made a class presentation which discussed the alliance between government and private interests in supporting the arts.  I neglected to condemn people like Jesse Helms, but I felt like it.  This other student in that classroom called me a “communist.”

Like I said, I am a problem-solver, not an idealogue.  Fascism is not an ideology, but a form of politics which believes there is only one solution.  As a problem-solver, I stand in direct conflict with fascists because they believe there is only one solution.  I am in direct contrast of the student in the class who mis-labeled me a “communist.”  I am in direct contrast to Allen West and insulted when he called Ron Klein a “communist.”

Allen West does not deserve to be re-elected to Congress.
