And here's a cartoon I found, that made me laugh at first.
But unfortunately, the Cult has dragged all of us down with them.

Leigh McGowan (Politics Girl) weighs in on Jill Stein voters (2:29)

My opinion (warning: I lack Leigh's tact) ...

A vote for Stein (in a 2-party system like in the U.S.)
is the same thing as throwing your vote away.
Stein has no path to victory.
Since Stein voters would otherwise vote for Harris,
they are helping ... Trump.

Nice goin' geniuses

I found this quote by comedian David Sedaris on the web:

"To put them [undecided voters in 2024] in perspective,
I think of being on an airplane.
The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart
and, eventually, parks it beside my seat.
'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks.
'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?'
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment
and then ask ... how the chicken is cooked.

Trump's threats are shutting down America's free press.
First, the L.A. Times and then the Washington Post refused to endorse.
Now the New York Post endorses ...

TRUMP!

Money Quote from article: "The NY Post board wrote in July 2022 that ...."

"as a matter of principle, as a matter of character,
Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.
"

Fear of revenge seems to be driving America's most famous news organizations into submission.

I've learned of 2 more newspapers which have endorsed Trump:
the Washington Times and the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Both are conservative organizations.
But even conservative organizations have no excuse for endorsing
a fascist traitor who lies every time he takes a breath.

UPDATE 10/29 (1 week before the election)

The media is folding as fast as the Republican Party did

Trump's threats of retribution and vengeance are taking their toll
as Democracy goes out with a whimper.

Now remember, most Republicans still believe in "The Big Lie."

a country filled with an enormous number of
easily-brainwashed voters with the minds of little children.

Trump comes to the rescue of ordinary Americans ...

after Republicans refuse to help them

You buy that?
Trump grows a heart and changes his mind on all his strongly-held positions
in order to come to the aid of middle class Americans?

Now you know why Republicans have been refusing to work with Democrats to help Americans.
Trump is trailing badly in all the polls (double-digits); even including Fox polls.
So Republicans simply refuse to negotiate
and Trump comes riding in to the rescue - right before the election.

The most amazing thing about this, is that ...

it will probably work

UPDATE 8/8/20 (same day)

He did it ...

now watch what happens to his poll numbers

The deferring of evictions and student loans
were done to improve his election chances.
But the real meat is in the other 2 orders:
Besides cutting benefits for the masses by 1/3
Trump also gave another huge tax gift to the wealthy.

Pick whichever link you like

Who loses when employers have their payroll taxes deferred?

There is no debate among the triple-digit IQ crowd that Biden won the election.
However, that does not mean he will take office.
On Monday, December 14, the House of Representatives votes on the electoral college results.

How the process works

I rarely try to predict the future, but I will give it a shot on this one:
Trump won more states than Biden
and those states could choose to reverse the results
which would result in a Trump victory. But the important point is ...
whichever  side loses in the House will appeal to the Supreme Court ...
which Trump has rigged.

My prediction is that Trump will remain in office
with the Supreme Court voting 5-4
just as they did in the recent church/covid case
in which Roberts refused to go along with his conservative judges.

And you can’t even imagine how much I hope that ...

I will be proven wrong

2017 Los Angeles Unified School District Election


5/9/17

The Los Angeles Times has sold out to Trump/Devos
by endorsing candidates who will continue ...

the destruction of our public school system

Thanks in large part to this endorsement,
the Trump/Devos candidates were able to eke out narrow victories.

The Conservative cancer is spreading like an uncontrolled wildfire

In an attempt to appear fair, the article tries to give the impression
that the Trump/DeVos candidates hate Trump.
Whether that is true or false is irrelevant.
What is relevant is that they are promoting
the Trump/DeVos destruction of public education
in one of the largest school systems in the nation.

I sent the following email to the L.A. Times editorial staff:

"I wish someone could explain to me why the L.A. Times editorial board
sold out to the Trump/DeVos agenda by endorsing their candidates.

The excuse I read from the board was that public schools are underperforming.

Well of course they are underperforming.
What else can you expect when millions of dollars are being diverted
from public education into for-profit schools?

Is there any other possible outcome?

Can anyone at the Times explain this sell-out to me and my readers 
?"

No. They did not reply. Maybe I should have said "Please."

This writer makes a great point

I had missed that connection between school choice and segregation.
But considering who is promoting vouchers and charter schools ...

it makes perfect sense

2016 Presidential Election


10/1/08

There are many ways to compare
two presidential candidates like Clinton and Sanders.
I thought "What would be important to me?"
The feeling I get from the media
is that Clinton is considered to be in the pocket of Big Business
while Sanders is portrayed as the fighter for the masses.
I wanted to know once and for all, was that true or just media hype?

My butt is still burnin' from the greatest transfer of wealth in history
from the masses to the rich ... "The Bailout"

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

It was there that I found what I was looking for.
How did Clinton and Sanders vote?
Did they agree on the transfer of trillions of taxpayer dollars to the rich?

Only one of them did

I'll admit that I'm anxious for America to elect its first female president.
And Clinton would be infinitely preferable to any Republican candidate.
But in my mind, Sanders is by far the best candidate to represent America.

It has been said that you get the government you deserve.
But that is not true.
Throughout history people had little say over who was King.
Now, with half the world's nations theoretically "democratic"
it still isn't true: since most elections are pretty evenly divided
(rarely do you see anything over 70%, or even 60%)
that means that only a little over half the people
are getting the government they deserve.

In the case of Sanders, only a small percentage of Americans deserve him
but it looks like they are going to have to settle for far less.

The Republican party tries very hard to convince everyone
that they are not a party of racists.
And then Donald Trump comes along and provides the proof ...
that they are:

Donald Trump's poll numbers skyrocket

Donald Trump was so low in the polls a month ago
that he would have had to work overtime just to crawl into last place.
Then Trump went all Aryan Brotherhood, and now we find him ...
near the top of the heap.

So what made Republicans change their minds overnight?
Was it Trump's economic plan?
Was it his stand on Healthcare?
Did he change his position on gay marriage?

Or did his ranking skyrocket when he smeared Hispanics?

If you need any more proof of the rampant racism
in the Confederacy Republican Party
then you are probably beyond hope.

Ex-New Jersey governor, Chris Christie



At first you might think that this is the stupidest thing you have ever read:
Catholic Chris Christie calls the Pope an Atheist ...

and a Pope who only pretends to believe in Jesus Christ (don't bother clicking ... they've removed the article)

Let's analyze this one:

Imagine little Christie back in second grade playing during recess.
A couple of kids walk by him and make fun of the "fat little kid."

Since it's true, and he has no defense,
what do nearly all little kids do in that situation?

They say, "I know you are but what am I?" or "So are you!"

They simply "Throw it back" in a childish, pathetic attempt to fight back.

Now fast-forward
The Pope is really nailing all of America's phony Christians for their hypocrisy.
These Christians are found mainly (though not exclusively) in the Republican party.
Christie's bizarre response was nothing more than a man child
resorting to the same tactic that served him so well in second grade:

"I'm not a phony Christian ... you are!"

For Republicans, this is what passes as presidential material

Trump and Carson get secret service protection

What the article doesn't tell you is that they need protection from ... Republicans.

Carson is the "token negro" that Republicans run briefly every election
to convince voters that they aren't really a party of racist rednecks
(remember Herman Cain, the Pizza Guy, in 2012?)
But Carson is lasting way longer than they had planned.
They also know that half their party would start another Civil War
before voting for a black man,
so now they have to find a way to make him quietly go away.

Trump was supposed to draw attention away from whomever the Koch Brothers
have selected to be our next president, but Trump turned out to be as unpredictable as Sarah Palin
and just as big of an embarrassment, so now they have themselves a problem.

Stay tuned

The "token negro" that Republicans run every 4 years
to deflect accusations (which are true) that they are a party of racists,
is hanging around at the top of the list, a lot longer than he was supposed to.

Now Republicans are scrambling to dismantle the Frankenstein they've created
because they know that, as a Republican, an African-American is unelectable:
Democrats wouldn't vote for him because he is completely unqualified,
and most Republicans would die before voting for a black man.

So Republicans are saving Democrats the trouble of bringing Carson down ...

by doing it themselves

I'm the last guy whom you would expect
to defend a Republican governor like Matt Bevin.
But as much as I hate to do it,
Liberals have forced me to do so.

Governor Bevin is claiming that a Clinton victory
could very well result in bloodshed.

Here is an article containing the text
of the controversial portion of his speech;
and some Liberal commentary


Now, go back and reread Bevin's statements from the point of view
that Bevin claimed was the proper context.

Now, think about it for a moment with an open mind.
Which makes more logical sense ...
That Bevin was inciting insurrection should Clinton be elected?
Or that her election might result in the loss of life of American servicemen?

The author did not accept Bevin's clarification.
It seems clear to me that it was meant exactly how Bevin claimed.
To believe otherwise requires an absurd level of dishonesty.

To me, the dishonesty is coming from the writer
and those Liberals who are trying to twist Bevin's words into something gruesome.

Here is the video of Bevin's speech.
It is 16:38 long, but you can skip to 11:50 to hear the controversial portion.

Governor Bevin's speech

Crap like this is why I refuse to identify with any ideology.

whether Liberal or Conservative,
is equivalent to giving your brain an enema.

They said they were doing it because the American people should choose the next judge.
Now that Trump has fallen far behind Clinton and they realize that they might lose,
do they still think the American people should choose?

No. They do not.
They plan to block nominations for 4 more years.


Keep voting Republican ... the rich sure do appreciate your support.

2014 Midterm Elections


10/21/14

In the culture war that has been tearing America apart since the Civil War,
I consider Texas to be Ground Zero.
Texas has come a long way since the days when its citizens
were willing to kill and die for, the right to keep human slaves.
Lyndon Johnson (D-TX) was known as the "Civil Rights President"
and Texas recently had a Democrat as governor (a woman no less).

But the Confederacy has fought back hard,
and now has control over this vast and powerful state.
They have nearly eliminated abortions which will send women back into the alleys;
they have refused the Medicaid expansion
which will cost the lives of thousands of Texans;
they have discussed the traitorous act of succession (Perry);
they attempted to crash the American economy (Cruz);
and they constantly attack education through their control of school boards.

Nothing boils my onions more
than seeing these Confederate bastards bullying decent, honest people;
so I sent the following video to Democrats in Texas
who were running for governor, the Senate, and the House.
I offered free use of the video,
but I'm not aware of anyone actually using it (54 seconds).

The 2014 Midterm Elections

Or, if you prefer, you can read the script (1 page)

The 2014 Midterm Elections

The defenders in Texas who are fighting to modernize the state
by removing this Confederate cancer,
remind me of the vastly outnumbered and outgunned heroes of the Alamo.
But just like at the Alamo ... reinforcements are pouring in.
(let's hope that we get a better outcome this time).

Here's my message to Confederate pricks ...
"You ain't gettin' Texas"

They may hold on a little longer, but forces are mounting against them.
We defeated them, militarily, 150 years ago ...

now it's high time we finished the job

Could any of these Founding Fathers get elected in America in the 21st century?

John Adams
"As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation.
But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends,
have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation
that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed? 
"

James Madison
"What influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments had on civil society?
In many instances they have been upholding the thrones of political tyrrany.
In no instance have they been seen as the guardians of the liberties of the people.
Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty
have found in the clergy convenient auxiliaries.
A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate liberty,
does not need the clergy.
"

Thomas Jefferson
"The Christian god can easily be pictured
as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations.
The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious.
If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god,
one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him.
They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites.
"

Adams and Madison would be beaten worse than Walter Mondale (13 electoral votes in 1984)
and the third (Jefferson) would be burned at the stake.

Here is a quote from a sermon preached by
Episcopal minister Doctor Bird Wilson in New York in 1831:

The founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels,
and that of the presidents who had thus far been elected
[Washington; Adams; Jefferson; Madison; Monroe; Adams; Jackson]
not a one had professed a belief in Christianity ....
Among all our presidents from Washington downward,
not one was a professor of religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism.


What's odd is that, as the country gets less religious,
Christians have gained more power than ever before.
Were the Reverend still here today,
he would be thrilled by the change in American government.
Judging by the quote above, if Jefferson were alive today,

I don't think he would share the Reverend's joy

Since I've been rather lucky with my predictions lately,
I think I will try to push my luck.

Predictions after Tuesday's "disastrous" Midterm elections
(for the rich: just change that adjective to "glorious")

Obama WILL BE impeached.
Republicans hate him personally with a psychopathic passion.
Like Clinton (another man whom they could not beat),
they know they don't have the votes to successfully remove him from office,
but that's okay because, like Clinton,
their purpose is only to destroy his legacy for all of history
(childish I know, but then again, that's exactly what most Conservatives are).

This will also aid them in their takeover of the only prize left,
that they do not already own ... the presidency.
They control the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court,
most state legislatures, and most state governor's houses.
They will send unpassable bills to Obama forcing him to use his veto power,
and then grandstand in front of the American people
claiming that Obama and Democrats refuse to work with them.

If they succeed in completing their takeover by winning the presidency in 2016:

Dodd-Frank will be reversed, and the tax cuts that were extended to all but the wealthy,
will be re-extended to the wealthy.

More tax loopholes will be opened for corporations, big banks, and Wall Street
until our tax code looks like Swiss cheese.

Conservatives will fill all the judicial nominations, that they blocked under Obama,
with Conservative judges who have no intention of objectively interpreting the law,
but will instead, force the Conservative agenda on Americans.
We have already seen this happen many times recently under the 'Roberts' Court.

And by the way, the Conservative agenda is ... whatever "The Rich" want.

Yes America - we are screwed.
And in what has to be the greatest example of prophecy I've ever seen,
Abraham Lincoln was right ... we did it to ourselves.

"America will never be destroyed from outside.
If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
"

UPDATE - 1/17

I am happy to say that my prediction was wrong.
Amazingly, Obama was neither impeached nor assassinated.
That was a greater miracle than anything Jesus ever pulled off.

2012 Presidential Election


8/6/11

After a massive prayer rally for rain and jobs,

God answers governor Rick Perry ...

"UH .......... NO."

Texas Wildfire Update (August 31, 2011)

According to the Texas Forest Service,
the State of Texas is "fighting its worst fire season in the state's history."
Since the fire season began in November of 2010,
firefighters have responded to 20,155 fires that have burned 3,529,261 acres.
This number is certain to rise as these various late-August fires continue to grow,
spurred on by the drought-parched fuels and autumn winds.



Perry got tens of thousands to pray to God for water
and God answered by setting the state of Texas on fire.
I get the distinct impression that God may not love Perry
half as much as Perry seems to think He does.

Romney said he is not worried about the "very poor"
because they have a "safety net."
Romney said he was worried about middle class Americans.

Romney Talks About the "Poor" and the "Middle Class'

Here's my question Mitt:
"If middle class Americans become poor,
according to you they will have a safety net, so ...
why are you worried about them?

Using your logic(?) once they become poor you won't worry about them anymore,
so what exactly is it about middle class Americans that has you worried?

If I could be so bold as to hazard a guess,
I would say you are worried that middle class Americans (the majority)
may not want to vote for a member of the upper 1%
(that would be the same upper 1% that has stripped America of its wealth).

(and then I would walk outside, and wait to be stoned to death by crowds of angry Christians).

Clint Eastwood got skewered for his "empty chair" routine.
Actually, it might have been funny
if the GOP had chosen someone much younger and funnier.
But the Dems put the GOP to shame
by demonstrating their ability to humiliate themselves.

Watch Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, humiliate himself

First - when someone says they are going to "suspend the rules,"
giant alarm bells should be going off everywhere.
People only do that when they are up to no good,
and need to break the rules to get away with something.

Second - there is a very good reason why God wasn't in the platform:
it's because He doesn't belong there.
That's why He's not in the Constitution either.
Republicans scream "God" constantly because they are rallying the nation's bottom-dwellers;
those who substitute piety for intelligence.

Third - the reason they attached God to their real objective, support for Israel,
was because they assumed that no one would vote against God,
thereby insuring inclusion of support for Israel
which would allow them to pander to fence-sitting GOP voters.

Fourth - when the voice vote came out even (not even close to two-thirds),
Villaraigosa should have either declared the amendment defeated (the proper thing to do),
or, if he was determined to ram it through anyway,
he should have resorted to a vote that could have been counted.
By repeating the voice vote, did he really believe
that people were going to be pressured into changing their beliefs on the spot?
The only thing it accomplished was that it turned the voting into a shouting match.
So the third vote was still even ... only much louder.

When was Romney's religion attacked the most viciously, and by whom?
By Conservative Christians during the nomination process.

Now who is attacking our Christian president over his religion?
That's right. The same far-right Christian assholes.

These people act like cannibals - devouring their own.
Well, the Bible did say that God would punish those who refused to obey Him
by causing family members to eat each other.
Since "these people" always seem to do the opposite
of what Jesus instructed them to do ...
I would admit that this cannibalization
might be the first real evidence for the existence of the Christian god.

And here is one of the biggest assholes in the country:
His University fired him over his immoral, unchristian conduct.
His wife is divorcing him over his sordid affair.
His "documentary" and book are filled with easily disproven lies
and believed only by the most gullible Americans.

So naturally he is a hero and role model for the Christian far-right.

Dinesh slandering Obama (1:48)

If we asked D'Souza's wife which person is more pathological
towards traditional Christian morals,
I'd bet my grandmother's ashes she would admit that it is not Obama,

I would like to dedicate the following song to Dinesh D'Souza (1:42)
