Super-Villain Team-Up!

I've kept my views on the news of the day off this blog for several years because things had settled down with a President who obeyed the laws and didn't riff on tormenting the helpless day after day after day, but the quite recent travesty of a Supreme Court decision has moved me to speak up again. I genuinely worry that the democracy I have enjoyed for my many decades on this planet is indeed in danger of disappearing for all practical terms. The case was obviously taken up by the highest court in the land in bad faith because of the timing and extensive duration of consideration, and the decision is dangerous in the extreme. The United States Supreme Court has created a Super-Executive who is not answerable to the laws applicable to the common folk. We are lucky that the man in the office now is a good and decent fellow, who will not order the assassination of his enemies. 


This all happened because the disgraceful cowardice of Republicans in Congress who some years ago failed utterly and shamefully in their duty to impeach and remove our loathsome former president who had instigated an attack on our own Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power. That's what the Constitution clearly demanded they do in that circumstance and for fear of being hurt or killed by their own followers they faded when the moment came to hold him to account for his obvious crimes. Holding the man to account after that has proven difficult and now the Supreme Court has made it all but impossible. We now run the very real risk that an amoral sociopathic traitorous sex-offending convicted felon might become the leader of the free world again. And this time he won't leave office until he dies. 


I still believe that will not happen. I think that the clearly good man named Joe will win the day and save us from our own demons, at least for a short time. But now we have to hope that all future Presidents are good men or good women, because the Supreme Court has made the office a fertile nest for an evil person, an utter villain to wreak havoc on this country and the world. Maybe in practical terms it was always thus, but now we know it can happen for certain.  And we're not out of the woods yet on this one. 


It has been a particularly sad day in the Anti-Life! The villains among us have won a dark victory indeed. It's time for the good guys to win one. 

Stay tuned.

A Day In The Anti-Life - Troll King

Image
[The message was originally posted at the now defunct Rip Jagger's Dojo on July 25, 2017] Trolls of myth are ugly critters than live in the dark and make havoc for civilized folk. Likewise on these here internets, we find ugly critters who adore making life a misery for honest people. And it's a sad fact that our "So-called" President is one of these critters, he might even be their king. This modern Troll King lives in a shadowy world of international finance and it becomes more and evident with each passing day that the dangerous denizens of those shadows have influence on the machinery of our democracy. If not directly, then indirectly by the daily denigration of communication and governing norms which have for many decades served to create the stability citizens of the United States and the greater western world have taken for granted for over fifty years, my entire life. I have been gifted with a life free of the rigors of true chaos which was the

My Pledge To The Democratic Party!

Image
If efforts to push Joe Biden off this year's Democratic ticket for President succeed, I will vote Blue to help save my nation, but the day after I vote I will change my registration to Independent. The leaders of the Democratic Party will have demonstrated that they have as little regard for the vote of the citizens as do the Republicans, so I see no need, even after decades of loyal support to continue to identify myself with them.  The latest round of back-channel discussions among leaders of the Party to oust Joe come on the heels of the end of the Republican Convention and are clearly keyed to setting up a Democratic Convention in which some way and somehow the candidate with 14, 465, 519 votes to be the nominee, or 87% of the total is replaced. That's an overwhelming number. He should under normal circumstances clinch it on the first round. He and Harris have accumulated 3, 894 delegates with only 42 remaining from the total number of 3, 949. 1968 delegates are required to

When Women Rule The Earth!

One can feel it, like the cliched hairs on the back of the neck, there is a palpable desire for change. It is only due to the now archaic nature of the democratic process of the United States that our federal races are so close. Democrats have won the popular vote in all but one Presidential election this century despite only winning the office half the time. There are more Democrats than Republicans in the United States and the expanse between the two parties only grows. The current totals are around forty-eight million Democrats with only thirty-five million Republicans and nearly as many Independents. So, it perhaps should come as no surprise that the energy of the Democratic National Convention is a wonder to behold. The Democratic Convention is like its counterpart a vehicle from an olden time to pick federal officers. It's not really necessary anymore, but it has found a new purpose and that is to showcase the desire and the capability of the Party to bring about change. Peop
