It’s been fascinating to watch the repeated criticisms of the various economic disasters of late. The plunge in the stock market, the shortage of baby formula, and the ever-increasing rise of gas prices. None of these things had to happen, and in fact, most reputable economists had warned us that the foundations of these respective… Continue reading Correcting the record

The nameless servants of evil ( Part 2)
One of the trite amorphisms used by conservatives and others repeatedly is, ” We are not a democracy; we are a Republic.” As if the two terms are mutually exclusive when they are meant to be used together. The United States is a Constitutional Democratic Republic with its governing officials chosen through various democratic processes.… Continue reading The nameless servants of evil ( Part 2)
One thing I absolutely do not regret.
I am approaching what could best be described as the contemplative stage of life. Savoring the adventures and the victories, dryly musing about the things I should have done differently – or should not have done at all. Regrets? I have a few. However, I will never regret wire brushing supporters of the tea party… Continue reading One thing I absolutely do not regret.
The future’s not bright, so you don’t gotta wear shades.
Actually, the future of the post COVID world is down right depressing. A lot of people are assuming that once everyone gets vaccinated and herd immunity is supposedly achieved the world will go back to normal. Except, that’s not what is going to happen. A “return to normalcy might have been possible if the United… Continue reading The future’s not bright, so you don’t gotta wear shades.
Nothing becomes his Presidency, such as the leaving of it.
Today is President Shitgibbon’s last full day in office. He is expected to pardon over 100 miscreants, liars, cheats, and various other criminals who are reflected in his horrible existence. In the last 48 hours, he has continued to do his level best to lay landmines and other booby traps to sabotage any chance of… Continue reading Nothing becomes his Presidency, such as the leaving of it.
Who says one man cannot change the world?
But sometimes, that change is for the worse – not for the better. Certainly, that was the case with Sheldon Adelson, who died yesterday at the age of 87. His legacy is NOT a good one. He destroyed politics in not just his own country but in Israel as well. Along with other wealthy megalomaniacs,… Continue reading Who says one man cannot change the world?
The fuse for this disaster was lit a dozen years ago.
If you are an American and watched what happened at the Capitol today – and are not outraged – then you are a defective person. And probably have been for a long time. Soonergrunt, long time commenter at Balloon-Juice, summed up these thoughts of mine very well. The list of those folks who need to… Continue reading The fuse for this disaster was lit a dozen years ago.
The good news and the bad news ( Part 1)
I’ve been holding off posting anything because I wanted to watch the outcome of Trump’s efforts to pull off a coup de etat following the election. I was anxious and am still worried that Trump would try to steal the election and usurp the results to ensure he stays in power. Surprisingly, state officials have… Continue reading The good news and the bad news ( Part 1)
She still has the ring. It still does not mean a thing.
So. It’s 2020 and another election cycle. That means it’s time once again to comment on yet another Nancy Mace political campaign. It’s now been ten years that she has been either running for office or scheming to run for office, and she still has placed herself on the side of evil. I first commented… Continue reading She still has the ring. It still does not mean a thing.
No more dangerous menace to civilization
Than a government of corrupt, incompetent or vile men. In Trumplandia, we won the Trifecta and got all three. I just spent the last two weeks on the mainland of the United States. I am glad to be back, but I hated having to make the trip. In the next two weeks, I will be… Continue reading No more dangerous menace to civilization
