SAVE Me

 

  It’s been far less than a year since New York City elected its latest mayoral embarrassment, Zohran Mamdani.

Taking office in early 2026, this 34-year-old nepo baby grabbed the reins of the NYC political clout following a lackluster election turnout. Never holding a private sector job – one in which success is measured by profits – he ran and won this position by promising everyone everything. And free.

The voters eagerly soaked up all his campaign tripe, allowing him to win with ease. Voter turnout, as mentioned above, was weak, with most of the voters abstaining from visiting the polls to select a new City Hall leader. No matter the reason, those non-voters’ inaction spoke louder than those of the voters.

In any case, Mamdani made his somewhat nebulous promises crystal clear once his hand was lifted off the swearing-in Koran. His plans were, to say the least, uncomfortable to many people who call the Big Apple their home.

Pointing his crooked middle finger at the “rich” Jewish residents, Mamdani eagerly high-fived his burka and hijab clad admirers gathered about the swearing-in stage while grinning widely. Clearly delineating with whom he would staunchly represent, Da Mayor was ready to unleash his well-received promises on his unsuspecting subjects.

Free bus rides, city subsidized grocery markets, free childcare, stronger tenant protections, and plans to build 200,000 affordable housing units were only the tip of this BS iceberg. He also advocated for minimum wage increases and implementing higher taxes on corporations to fund public services.

Not stopping there, he further promised to sock-it to the rich in order to help subsidize these most benevolent gifts upon the downtrodden citizens bending their knees to him.

Helping this seemingly impossible effort to squeeze even more money from the already overburdened NYC taxpayers were the multitude of stage and screen stars, professional athletes, corporate executives, day traders, entertainers, and general suck-ups – you know who they are – to openly applaud the long overdue generosity towards it much deserving residents. What could possibly go wrong?

Glad you asked.

As with any instance where money talks, the newly christened Mayor Zohran began passing the collection plate around his Church of Tithings among those gleeful promoters who, just yesterday, tossed rose petals at his feet.

The once insulated anointed disciples were suddenly holding the collection plate while carefully scanning the room to see who might be looking their way. If someone espied them, the contribution was robustly adding more folding money, while if attentions were drawn elsewhere, noisy coins were added to the collection for effect. Wink wink.

Unfortunately, to this smirking Democratic Socialist, the rich needed to atone for their skills, successes, and sacrifices. Nothing less was acceptable inasmuch as the needy were, uh, needy.

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” is a slogan popularized by the late Communist, Karl Marx. Thank goodness Zohran found this blurb during his noble quest to make everyone equal. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details.

Those people who have been swimming in the guvment gravy pool for decades have had socialist-style politicians and civil servants refilling and maintaining this wading pool since its inception. The bad news is the pool was suddenly crowded with tons and tons of illegal alien newcomers in the United States, especially NYC. More gravy was needed.

But from where would this money come?

Please read on.

Zohran’s plan was to simply take what he wanted and needed – albeit without the benefit of a gun or mask. He would plainly intimidate wealthy citizens – I would use the more appropriate word ‘extort’ – to describe Da Mayor’s greasy tactics.

Openly doxing businessmen on television and radio ads, this thug had resorted to strong arm methods to get their money. Like it or not. But when the wealthy ‘contributors’ began fleeing Gotham City, Mamdani pulled out all stops to exact revenge in a plan that would make Karl Marx himself proud.

Man-child Mamdani had no knowledge in the way of how to earn or invest a dollar; all his income was from his wealthy parents plus tax increases of the constituents. Work? That’s for the suckers.

Imposing “a new ’pied-à-terre’ tax to luxury second homes valued at $5 million or more, targeting non-residents to help close the city’s budget gap” seemed like the clear choice to this con man. Affected therein, however, were the multitude of stage and screen stars, professional athletes, corporate executives, day traders, entertainers, and general suck-ups mentioned previously. Uh, oh.

Suddenly, these smug gadabouts were caught between a rock and a hard place. And their choice for representation was still holding the gun while wearing the mask.

This is an ideal example of not trusting sleazy politicians who are only in it for themselves.

Two staunch DSA promoters

Which neatly segues into the poop hurricane brewing around the country involving the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP) who have infiltrated modern, free America in the past few years. This conglomeration of wild ideas has been festering like an open sore; now it is oozing puss into our sacred, sovereign nation.

These DSAers who are posing as Moderate Democrats have their eyes on the prize of overthrowing America. They see it as a scourge that keeps people of color out of jobs, denies healthcare to children, rewards old white people, and encourages two distinct classes: the haves, and the have nots.

Of course nothing could be further from the truth.

America is a sovereign nation consisting of peoples of all nationalities, shapes, sizes, colors, and ideals. And those people have been coming to our shores for centuries. Bringing rich traditions along with goals for assimilation has enabled this “melting pot” experiment in a free society to not only succeed but thrive for generations.

This year celebrates our 250^th birthday of conglomeration of America’s residents.

Unfortunately, the past half-dozen years have introduced a maelstrom of unrest, hatred, division, antagonism, and violence, ultimately leading to several assassination attempts on our duly elected president.

Voters have also found themselves targeted for hate and retribution for supporting President Donald J. Trump, while television personalities and social media clowns find amusement and a sense of worth in instigating mayhem toward maintaining safe and sound order. Quite the dilemma.

Speculation, along with seemingly hard evidence has been bubbling to the surface of The Swamp President Trump has been attempting to drain. Questionable election results over the past nearly-dozen years has led to speculation those contests might have been rigged.

Only last week, the new New Jersey Gubenor Mikie Sherrill admitted illegal voting had occurred during recent New Jersey elections. As many as 6,600 illegal voters were able to register to vote, while it is suspected “only 400 actually voted,” according to a CBS New York story. Whew.

For the record, if 6,600 illegal voters were able to vote in each of our fifty-states, that would amount to 330,000 illegal voting participants. Not an insignificant amount.

Still, illegal is, by its very definition, illegal.

Seizing upon this DSA snowball effect, candidates are doing their absolute best to register and schmooze everyone with a pulse to effect change in order to totally disrupt America while burning The Constitution itself. Stacking the deck for votes to get “free” promised stuff is very, very dangerous.

Witness Europe in general, Spain in particular. Only yesterday, an estimated 40,000 illegal immigrants crossed the Straight of Gibraltar from Morocco into Socialist Spain. Using Socialist methods of guvment rule for decades, Spain’s leaders turned a blind eye when these refugees invaded “La Piel de Toro.” Keep your eyes open for more on this brilliant move by European Socialists

As is evident from the rise of DSA candidates along with their meteoric rise in the American political landscape, they are more than willing to lie and conjure up facts to reach their goals. A large part of achieving those goals is getting past elections, and this upcoming one in November 26 is especially critical.

If you don’t believe me, look up Virginia Gubernor Abigail Spanberger (D). She alone fortuitously restored voting rights to 66,085 Virginians with previous felony convictions since taking office earlier this year, the Washington Examiner reports.

Since 1993, our electoral system has become bastardized with modifications to the voting process which include voting by mail, voting well in advance, plus not requiring identification (ID) to exercise your right to cast a ballot. With each vote becoming more critical day-by-day, this sacred system needs fine tuning to take it back to its origins: one person, one vote.

President Trump has endorsed The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE Act or SAVE America Act. It is a proposed law requiring documented proof of U. S. citizenship when registering to vote in U.S. federal elections.

Un-American politicians on both sides of the aisle are balking at passing this bill to purify our tainted electoral system ahead of November.

Let me leave you with a last thought: “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” Those are words from the late Communist, Joseph Stalin. 

 Call your Representatives.

They Should Be Embarrassed

 

  One day you’re being toted around on the shoulders of high-powered politicians in a sedan chair for speaking your mind; the next, you’re being kicked out of society by those same people for speaking your mind. What a difference a day makes.

Let’s begin where civil discussions should: at the beginning.

Last week we combed over a person the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP) was begging the Vatican to canonize as the next modern saint, Graham Platner. Platner would be amusing if he were a comedian, alas, he’s merely a narcissist who doubles as an anti-Semite anti-American pervert.

Proudly wearing a German Nazi tattoo on his chest for years, he feigned ignorance at the true meaning of his “Totenkopf” skull and crossed bones inked image worn by guards in Jewish concentration camps. Those were the places where Jews awaited their imminent death in gas chambers, for your information.

Platner, having the gift of gab, always poo-pooed any nefarious meaning behind this highly offensive image. After all, he claims he was unaware as to its significance, possibly because he is stupid, possibly because he is mentally ill, or a combination of both. In an effort to make this poke-in-Jewish-eyes, he had that hate-filled symbol disappear with an ink-over. Case closed.

In any case, Herr Platner unapologetically continued goose stepping through his campaign for a place on the stage as a Democratic Senator candidate in Maine. His crusade was an incredible sweep, winning with 156,000 votes. Being the clear choice in this race, he seemed well on his way to a solid run against his Republican opponent, incumbent Susan Collins.

This lead pipe cinch was exactly what the Dems wanted; their plan was to summarily oust Senator Collins in order to simply regain control of the U.S. Senate. How am I so sure? I know that for a fact because they said so.

Regularly wearing flannel shirts and ball caps in an attempt to disguise himself as the “average guy,” Platner arrogantly pointed out all the faults of everyone who failed to vote for him. With regularity, this DSA minstrel seemed to keep his fan base enrapt. There was nothing this heir apparent to one of Maine’s Senatorial seat could do or say to ruin this coup to eliminate the Republican Party and any sane policies in America’s future.

Although the fix was in, Platner felt compelled to give his opinion as to punishment meted out toward anyone illegally entering his home. “Rape” was the definitive answer, unlike the usual generous forgiveness offered by Democratic prosecutors and judges across the land. Kind of an odd way to treat others in a civil society.

With more and more offensive solutions to fairly common problems, Democratic supporters such as Elizabeth Warren, Ro Khanna, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, and other DSA members, were quick to distance themselves from this loose cannon. Dropping that sedan chair like a hot potato, Platner disappeared from relevancy. And a search for a new candidate was on.

Surprisingly, a gaggle of equally mentally ill Democratic replacement candidates was located in a jiffy. Appearing on a stage to tout their attributes to potential voters, this group of twelve wannabes did their best to prove which candidate was wackier than the other. And they did not disappoint.

Akin to a Saturday Night Live skit, these pious candidates took turns saying nearly the exact same thing: coddle illegal immigrants, Medicaid for all, lots of money to repay student loans, abolish the police forces, plus defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Without an original thought, these non-free thinkers had absolutely no problem demonstrating they were singing from the same sheet of music. All except the trans guy who wanted to be a girl, that is.

Ashley Webb, according to his – or is it her – website, rambled about “hospitals, employers and corporations causing real harm to real people” in an incoherent rant without a clear point. This candidate won the Most Pathetic award. Congratulations Ashley.

As previously mentioned, these DSAers are clamoring for more public money to help illegal aliens survive, provide children free baby sitters, furnish healthcare for everyone, and save the planet. Since there’s not enough money for all those noble causes, they are more than eager to snatch more taxpayer dollars from thin air, or your pocket, whichever is easier. Again, they promised.

Whining about the fact the haves need to summarily help the have nots, these overly benevolent professional thieves well-know how to convert your hard earned money into more votes for themselves. Always begging for more cash without any accounting, these con artists are adept at making fools out of working people.

Have you ever heard of a place named Minneapolis? It is the punchline to the eternal joke that goes: We are poor immigrants from a Middle Eastern toilet. We came to America for a better life. Once we discovered how to defraud the guvment out of precious taxpayer dollars, we sent this stolen money back to Somalia to fund terrorists. Their terrorists will use this loot to train and purchase weapons to kill American infidels, and if anyone objects, we will publicly vilify them as bigots and xenophobes. Where do they live?

Now that is some funny stuff.

Not to be left out, Maine voters are anxious to get in on this grift to show their compassion for downtrodden illegal immigrants. The good part is that lots of this funding will come from Maine taxpayers; the bad part is that any overspending is expected to be derived from the federal guvment.

Suddenly, this icky scheme becomes your and my problem.

On the other hand, these same political pick pockets were apoplectic about the creation of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to save misspent monies overseas, and fraud internally. Never heard of it?

President Donald Trump, in the opening days of his re-election, tapped the fellow who would soon become the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. This African American was delighted to be able to help President Trump find and eradicate fraud and waste originating from the United States guvment.

With the nose of a bloodhound, Musk assembled an ersatz team of snoops who looked everywhere a pulse could be found. It wasn’t long before the mishandling and intentional theft of taxpayer dollars appeared to be everywhere.

Suddenly the mainstream media (MSM), who blatantly ignored anything President Trump accomplished in his first four-years, decided it was time to break out their knitting needles. Handcrafting warm, sensitive stories out of pure spite, tales of the Mean Mr. Trump quickly spread throughout the media like a freshly knitted quilt.

Leftists, both in America and abroad, were aghast that the wealthy President Trump was cutting off aid from needy children far and wide. To compound matters, the same MSM that refused to carry his speeches realized it was their obligation to wholly dump on The President to incite metal mayhem.

Clusters of angry taxpayers who were unwittingly footing the bill for these schemes and obvious shell games were broadcast and printed non-stop in order to make a point. The point being: We are stupid and enjoy being fleeced.

Guvment agencies were combed through to seek out waste, estimated to be in the billions of dollars, to help this new regime save citizens and corporations precious tax dollars on hare brained projects plus guvment personnel creating and directing them. They should have been embarrassed; they weren’t.

Sending coloring books to Middle Eastern terrorists, funding stage plays promoting homosexuality to Muslims, and sponsoring abortions in African nations, were among some of the inane ways Musk discovered our own anti-American guvment workers were frittering away our valuable assets.

Still, aging hippies, people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), as well as deranged guvment Representatives, proudly marched – with news crews at hand – to “expose” all the damage President Trump was causing. That daily drum beat continued for a few weeks. These uproars emanating from the usual suspects: the ultra-liberal NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, along with a variety of interweb sources, lasted until they became true nuisances. I admire their tenacity.

Typical inhabitants of an oyster farm

But here’s the rub: As was mentioned heretofore, these DSAers are clamoring for more public money to help illegal aliens survive, provide children free babysitters, furnish healthcare for everyone, and save the planet. Since there’s not enough money for all those noble causes, they need tax dollar increases to make their wishes happen.

Of course, they could take that grifted cash discovered and saved by DOGE to fund these pie-in-the-sky projects. But they’d much rather squeeze more of your hard earned wages from your hands than simply say, “NO!” to the unproductive, ingrates demanding more and more and more.

It’s thinking like this that creates and sustains situations in which 41-year-old Senatorial candidates are supported by their parents, are gifted oyster farms for otherwise unattainable employment, while generating disdain for anyone who works hard to achieve their goals in life.

They should be embarrassed. Too bad they’re not.

Love

 

  This is one of those deep dives into ‘saying what you mean.’

Most of us have been mired in the personal world of emotions at least once, with many finding themselves amid this quandary multiple times.

As the title implies, today’s story hinges on the affective feelings associated with love.

Defining love is not as simple as this four-letter word seems. Since it is derived from personal feelings, it can be apparent to some while elusive to others. Not unlike people who wear garish clothing, oversized eyeglasses, dye their hair with neon coloring, or sport piercings and tattoos, these displays can be evident to some while simultaneously baffling to others.

Graham Platner is "My kind of man!"
per Elizabeth Warren

Remember, love is nebulous yet concise, temporary while permanent, gentle as well as powerful. Huey Lewis once sang a song, “The Power of Love,” in 1985, being well received as a Billboard song plus a movie theme tune.

Viewed as both an upper and downer, love exists in the eye of the beholder. As such, love can be justifiably protected as easily as it can be loathed. Again, it’s a personal thing. Until that particular love affects an entire family.

On the other hand, introducing a special love to your nuclear family can wind up beautiful or dangerous for any number of reasons, the least of which is often subjective. Based on appearance, speech, behavior, even beliefs, that certain love can be challenged as unsuitable. “You weren’t raised like that!” are ‘or else’ phrases regularly resulting in long term estrangements. Alas.

As you may have surmised, love is different to everyone. Nearly impossible to define or explain, love is unique in its intensity and longevity making it a blessing and curse depending on the person. Unforgettable.

So it was with interest that I watched the Maine primary elections just weeks ago. There, Maine voters enthusiastically selected a fellow named Graham Platner to represent them in the general elections this coming November.

Platner appeared to be a colorful character – who could be likened to a loose canon – in polite terms.

By way of a thin background provided by his handlers, Graham Platner is a “Marine and U.S. Army veteran, oyster farmer, former chair of the Sullivan Planning Board, and candidate running for U.S. Senate in Maine, to defeat Susan Collins and win back the seat for working Mainers,” per https://www.grahamforsenate.com.

While perceived to be true, the devil is in the details. It seems as though his mother bought him that oyster farm as a means to earn money (Read: To appear to have a job as well as supply her restaurant with oysters.) Not a bad haul from mommy for a 41-year-old man. Understanding he may have been suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from his military service, cutting him slack is only right.

On the other hand, Platner’s pathetic behavior – both in actions and words – have been teetering on the edge of pity for this sociopathic individual.

He paraded about shirtless sporting a Nazi tattoo – the same ‘Nazi’ with whom the Left repeatedly accused current President Donald J. Trump of being associated – without disparaging candidate Platner. When questioned about this permanent symbol of universal hate of Jewish people, Platner’s reply has been he was unaware of its meaning. ‘Nuff said.

Unfortunately, he scurried away to get that Nazi prisoner-of-war camp symbol of hate covered over thereby making things all better. Alas, things weren’t better.

His Tourette Syndrome-like ranting against anything and everything sane and sacred continued, verifying his questionable mental health.

Openly disparaging former decorated military cohorts and fellow politicians, Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) Platner is totally unapologetic. This effort is a part of unseating incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins who often personally poses as a Democratic representative. If you don’t believe me, he said those words himself.

Combined with Senator Mitch McConnell’s mysterious illness, as well as the untimely demise of Senator Lindsey Graham, dramatic changes have quickly shifted in the outlook of the Senate. The Republicans are currently favored by ½ of a vote. Remember the aforementioned wishy washy Susan Collins? She’s the ½ vote.

The total plan of the Democratic Socialists is to capture the majority of the Senate and House to be able to change the Supreme Court makeup, income tax structure, migration policies, delete the military, and foist single-payer healthcare upon all citizens – all in the name of love.

To accomplish this multifaceted scheme, there needs to be some inside help, namely infiltration of the system by making Graham Platner the next Senator from Maine – under the DSA banner. He is to be the latest in the bullpen of useful idiots of this Busby Berkeley-like strategic production.

While seemingly benevolent on paper, this redistribution of monies from the military to healthcare would leave a giant gap in our nation’s protection – and that is the end goal. Of course, those trillions of dollars would still fall far short of acquiring a balanced budget. Not to worry. Simply overtax everyone for the good of everyone. That’s true love.

“’From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs’ is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx, emphasizing a system where resources are distributed based on individual needs rather that their contributions. This concept envisions a society where abundance allows for such equitable distribution,” per 1000wordphilosophy.com.

“But wait,” you say. “What about all those wealthy politicians? Won’t they be taxed into poverty, too?”

Great question.

No.

A number of long-time Democrats have been notably spooning with Platner. They include Communist Senator Bernie Sanders who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, Senator Elizabeth Warren whose claim to fame is breaking up successful corporations, plus a fellow named Ro Khanna. Let us not forget Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and comely Rashida Tlaib, two more prominent DSA lovers.

Each one of these phonies proudly stood up in front of television cameras to extol the virtues of Graham Platner. While cued up to give him a personal tongue bath, everyone expressed their love for Platner. Kiss, kiss.

After all, secret Nazi Herr Platner won his place on the Democratic Socialist ticket by garnering 156,000 votes from his loving admirers. Now that shows real love.

You see, these financial masterminds have always been wolves in sheep's clothing. Outwardly appearing to help the little man, union folks, the poor, underprivileged, working class, and everyone else with an outstretched hand, this gaggle of sleazes have been playing the long game to not only snatch your wallet, but also confiscate your car and home, too. All in the name of fairness. Wink, wink.

As of this writing, Bernie Sanders is worth $3 million dollars, Elizabeth Warren has an estimated $12 million, while Ro Khanna has a worth of $340 million. That’s true love of money.

This is a great time to ask yourself: What is in it for these three shysters if the money is to be redistributed? They have theirs; they now want yours. This is an example of lust and love.

Exempting themselves from these upcoming punitive laws and regulations, the DSA members will be free from having to participate in any type of ‘tithing’ in the Church of the Guvment. Don’t think it won’t or can’t be done?

When President Barack Hussein Obama force-fed the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) down our throats, Congress exempted themselves from participating. How’s that for believing in your own bills? Love of self-preservation, I’d say.

But following a victory of the Maine primaries, the oyster farmer received the most votes and captured the spot the Democratic Party was hoping. While full of lots of words, as well as himself, Platner began talking about raping home intruders, abusing women, as well as openly contorting details heretofore overlooked during the vetting process.

This fraudster was attempting to present himself as Joe Sixpack; he is nothing but a conniver, showing another sign of love – narcissism – love of oneself.

But the good news is Graham Platner has exited from the Senatorial race in Maine due to a credibility crisis. And none too soon. Platner will undoubtedly continue his love affair with himself, while the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Socialist Party will seek another person to represent them and to love lots.

In the name of perpetual fairness, the DSA has decided it would prudent to have their specially selected 601 delegates decide Platner’s replacement; forget about the suddenly untrustworthy voters. Talk about fairness. So much love going around that big DSA tent.

How romantic. 

Free Stuff

 

  People everywhere love free stuff. You’re living in a fantasy world if you don’t agree with that last sentence. If you disagree, please read on.

A quick trip to Sam’s Club, Costco, even some upscale grocery stores will lead you to a portable kiosk attended to by a usually perky person offering tastes and examples of some product for sale in that store. Occasionally, those offerings are for disposable sponges, miniature packages of laundry detergent, or mouthwash. However, more often than not those products are edible.

They’re pretty easy to spot; that’s where shoppers are cued up for a smidgen of a new cupcake mix, orange drink, even a green olive or two. And, without fail, at least a half-dozen potential consumers huddled about that kiosk will beg for a second sample just to be sure.

Of course, they rarely buy that free sample product; rather, they are merely seeking a cost-free snack, and little else. It’s a game played between the product representatives and the not-buying public.

But other people who like to get things for nothing are politicians. Politicians are those grubby slugs who promise potential voters everything in exchange for nothing. I’ll bet you can easily name at least one of these pols who, after guaranteeing you the world, gave you nothing but lip service for your vote.

This betrayal didn’t seem fair at that time, but time heals all wounds. Right? Until the next time these grifters dish out another helping of “next time,” that is. And since there are so many of these weasels, finding examples of the truth escaping their mouths is far rarer than finding a pink unicorn grazing in your flower garden.

The odd part is that this gaming of the electorate has become commonplace in America and readily accepted as business-as-usual. During re-election campaigns, these incumbent defrauders are quick to point out they only had a few years to attempt to address and rectify your concerns, hence the need to give them another term. Unfortunately, that term will likely require another re-re-election. Wink, wink.

And so the cycle goes until their mummified cadavers are wheeled out of either the Senate or House of Representatives with a vacant chair ready for another chiseler-in-training.

There are quite a few names that quickly come to mind as con artists, but the loudest current squeaky wheel is that conniver, Bernard “Bernie” Sanders.

Senator Sanders has been largely living off pie-in-the sky dreams since his years before his political career began. Sanders was part of a commune in the early days of the Vietnam War, which he protested; that is not surprising. But this same man left his commune to find himself as a carpenter.

Senator Bernie Sanders.  Maybe.

He gravitated toward politics as the elected mayor of Burlington, Vermont, winning that position in 1981. Evidently, his appetite was whet during his eight-years as mayor, when he ran for state office several times, alas losing every time.

But the taste of politics remained, and he eventually secured a position as a United States Senator from Vermont. He did so as an Independent after leaving the Democratic Party. His roughly four-decades in public office allowed him to accumulate money from a guvment salary.

Currently making about $174,000 per year, Senator Sanders has amassed an estimated gross income of $3,000,000. That’s a lot of money for a guy who always looks like Salvation Army donation box shopper, while sporting hair in desperate need of a comb.

Senator Sanders seems to have emerged from his shell lately as is evidenced by his sharp, unwarranted criticism of nearly everyone with business acumen. Personally taking on the wealth of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk for their wealth, Sanders feels as though they have something he calls “Too much money.”

Too much money is a subjective phrase that is both misplaced, as well as intentionally false.

Take, for example, Edwin Castro. Never heard of him? He’s the winner of the largest lottery prize in American history. It was in November 2022, when Mr. Castro won $2.04 billion in the Powerball Lottery game. Which begs the question: Is that too much money?

I dare say you only need to ask Mr. Castro. I also believe I know his answer.

Yet, Bernie Sanders has a particular axe to grind with Messers. Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Musk, all of whom are private citizens who accumulated their wealth without the benefit of a handgun used in conjunction with a getaway car.

These three entrepreneurs created ‘things’ in the form of social media, internet shopping, electric vehicles, and reusable rockets, among others. And these three gentlemen employ countless associates – all of whom pay taxes – to the same coffer Senator Sanders regularly dips into to fund his latest financial redistribution scam.

But lately, Senator Sanders – not unlike a young child who learned a new word – has grasped, and been overusing, the word “oligarch.” It’s too bad Senator Sanders uses the word but doesn’t know what it means.

An oligarch is a person who, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, snapped up monies, properties, as well as government treasures, for their personal benefit. Sorry, Bernie...you’re not even close labeling Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk as oligarchs. President Trump doesn’t fit the term, either.

On the other hand, Senator Bernie feels as though the earned monies from the above businessmen belong to him and the rest of Americans who are less affluent. Because of poor educations, inferior family conditions, lack of ambition, or even misperceived sleights that they are entitled to what others have, Sanders wants it all, no questions asked.

Still, pointing his crooked little finger in a different direction these days, he hopes the average low IQ voter isn’t paying attention to the words oozing out of his often indecipherable-accented yap.

For many of his years as a politician, Sanders has been exuding greed and envy as means to an end. Always looking to take the ‘other guy’s’ cash – Robin Hood-style – Ol’ Bernie had been using the term millionaire to describe the enemy. Now he describes the enemies as billionaires, including one trillionaire.

Of course, those terms are suddenly flexible inasmuch as The Senator has shifted his net worth into the millionaire category. Oops.

Yet here we are listening to this 85-year-old rumpled mess of a cartoon character spouting his vitriol to anyone and everyone who has at least one ear. With a pension from his City of Burlington Mayor’s job, plus his Senatorial salary, besides his upcoming U.S. guvment pension, along with his book proceeds, Senator Sanders can enjoy the balance of his life in financial comfort.

Not unlike the aforementioned Sam’s Club and Costco gimme-gimme shoppers, Bernie Sanders along with his constituents want more and more for nothing. But someone is paying for that free stuff: you. And Uncle Bernie wants to keep his earned salary while he forces you to pick up the tab for everyone else.

Two things bother me, though.

Why is he not also picking on George Soros and Neville Roy Singham to cough up their dough, both of whom regularly gift billions of dollars to Leftist, anti-American political campaigns?

And why does this relic hate America so much he feels the need to utterly destroy it from the inside out?

Just curious.

The Great Cholesterol Reprieve

 

  Here’s something to consider: While Joe Biden was president, he intentionally caused gasoline prices to skyrocket to affect his minions’ plans to eliminate fossil fuels altogether. Rising from less than $2 per gallon to well over $5.50 per gallon, that same legacy media feigned blindness to this grift.

Of course, it was Biden’s inept steering of the sovereign United States of America that brought us to these rocky shores. The complicit media gleefully pointed their crooked little fingers at not only President Trump, but all associated MAGA supporters.

Naturally, the ignorant Democratic voters suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) blindly blamed and wildly attacked Americans desperately trying to maintain a sense of civility and sanity.

All the evidence was summarily dismissed by Leftist television talking heads besides print rags such as the Old Gray Lady along with the Washington Compost, all of which excel at giving their idols daily tongue baths.

Further, each day across the entire globe, roughly 202-million chickens are sacrificed for food. Winding up as sliced deli lunch meat, nuggets, soup starters, wings, even pet food, these tasty birds also provide an added bonus in the form of eggs.

Eggs are those things that chickens use to propagate the next generation of fowl, thus continuing the circle of life. Loaded with protein, these hen byproducts are considered ideal for athletes and laborers because of the lasting stamina they provide.

Back in the 1980’s and ‘90’s, doctors and researchers came to the conclusion that eggs also have a dark side inasmuch as they are loaded with cholesterol. So, those aforementioned doctors and researchers have been warning consumers of hen fruit about the dangers associated with ingesting too many eggs.

Here’s the odd part. If a patient is found to be suffering from high cholesterol, their doctor will likely place them on a low-cholesterol diet consisting of – please be seated before you continue – chicken.

Please re-read that previous paragraph.

This double-edged sword is a rare case of having it both ways. But this is not the gist of today’s story.

Anyone who has the ability to read and comprehend English will likely remember news from earlier this year, 2026, that the same world that daily exterminates those multi-millions of chickens, was facing a world-wide plight of H5N1, also known as “bird flu.”

A January 13, 2025, CBS News story described this avian-related pandemic in which, “More than 20 million egg-laying chickens in the U.S. died last quarter because of bird flu, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows, marking the worst toll inflicted on America’s egg supply since the outbreak began.”

Boneless Chickens

Here’s some good news, though. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as well as the USDA have been working on a vaccine to prevent and curtail the spread of the bird flu. Yea!

But here’s the bad news. That same CBS News item mentioned, “officials said it’s unlikely the vaccine will be used. The Biden administration has been weighing the possibility of vaccinating poultry for bird flu for years.”

No need to hurry.

Upon taking office following a lopsided electoral victory, newly-elected President Donald J. Trump (47) was quickly targeted by the legacy media for causing the rising price of eggs. Drawing a line from high egg prices to Trump’s fresh term as Commander-in-Chief consumed gallons of ink due to the circuitous length to meet the two points.

Never mentioned were the bird flu infection and associated unused Biden vaccine. Only mentioned were the rising costs of eggs hovering around the outrageous $7 per dozen mark. Implying President Trump was secretly attempting to break the financial backs of the average Americans, this sleazy reporting crept over the edge into propaganda from The Left.

Yet no one thought about looking at this egg crisis with a positive eye. Turning lemons into lemonade should have been the answer to the question, Why are egg prices so high?

The answer would’ve been, To lower your cholesterol.

Problem solved.

The Rightless Right

 

  Let’s have some fun and begin today with an ever-popular quiz. If you’re reading this with friends, no wagering, please.

We find ourselves quickly approaching the downward slope of summer. Traditionally, Independence Day – also known as the Fourth of July – roughly denotes the midway point between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Both of which are still legal federal holidays but are tucked between others that are less rigid.

Allow me to explain.

Depending on how revered these commemorations feel to the masses, some are moved to a ‘less important’ status and thus termed “floating holidays.”

A floating holiday is a paid day off that an employer offers in addition to regular company holidays. It’s called “floating” because you can choose when to use it instead of taking it on a fixed date.

Keeping that in mind, not all holidays are floating. And not all employers recognize floating holidays. But they can be very important to those employed in critical public safety professions, such as hospitals, fire/rescue, police, air traffic controllers, prison employees, and gas station attendants, who must work providing aid as well as comfort to the remainder of society.

That being said, please try to name which holidays have been relegated from absolute hard-and-fast holidays to floating holidays.

Go ahead. I’ll wait for you.

Martin Luther King’s Birthday, and Presidents’ Day are federal holidays. Almost. If those days fall on a weekend, an employee celebrates on the Friday before. Unfortunately, Presidents’ Day was remanufactured from Washington’s Birthday and Lincoln’s Birthday into one Presidents’ Day.

Memorial Day is an absolute holiday, as is Juneteenth; Juneteenth, however, is celebrated on the 19^th of June. That being said, The Fourth of July should be celebrated on the – uh – fourth of July. But we’re going to apply the rule exemption to a Friday, this year (2026) because the 4^th is on a Saturday. That means the Third of July has now become the Fourth of July. Got it?

So, if you guessed Fourth of July, you’re wrong.

Onward to Labor Day which is celebrated on first Monday in September. That’s pretty succinct.

Although when we reach Columbus Day, the anti-Americans in America have decided Columbus doesn’t deserve a holiday and have changed the name to Indigenous Peoples’ Day in some places to prove their ignorance. This is one of those floating holidays.

Veteran’s Day is next on the calendar to honor those U.S. military veterans who served in the armed forces. Again, celebrated on November 11^th, this holiday has been hijacked by Leftists who feel our military is an internal enemy and should not be observed. They couldn’t be more wrong.

In any case, this holiday if one that has morphed into floating status for the sake of snubbing those who did the heavy lifting.

Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the last Thursday of November. A National Day of Gratitude traditionally celebrated with a holiday meal and gatherings, Thanksgiving Day celebrants find themselves facing vegans and other malcontents who are desperately trying to alter history, largely because they’re bored.

And finally, we arrive at Christmas Day. Christmas is celebrated on the twenty-fifth of December – again occasionally falling on a weekend – we’re going to apply the rule exemption to a Friday when appropriate. But here’s where the wackos again try influence our society along with our national direction.

Suggestions were raised that Christmas Day should be eliminated altogether due to its nonsecular nature. Perhaps, they claim, all religions should have the opportunity to honor and praise their gods and religions equally. In fact, they do possess that ability, just not on the company’s or taxpayer’s dime.

Our nation is unique as it was founded on Christianity prohibiting discrimination based on other religions. Everyone is quite free to exercise their own religions, providing they do not curtail the ability by others to worship.

For decades, the Right has been under attack for formulating and continuing our great nation without prohibiting the Left from expressing themselves, no matter how wrong they are. That is all covered under The First Amendment. For your information, we, on the Right, have rights, too.

Ultimately, I blame this on the same super-genius elected officials (Read: Representatives and Senators) who created, then modified, and subsequently remanufactured these holidays. Don’t forget what a terrific job they did when they decided to manage Daylight Saving Time. They have plenty of trouble managing their own extramarital affairs.

Stop trying to change our culture; it’s been doing just fine for 250-years without their obnoxious, boorish added value. Enough, already.

Congratulations

 

  Save yourself some time and divert your attention to something more productive if you think this story is about extolling the accomplishments of our recent graduates. It is not.

Rather, this is to extend praise to all the voters in Minnesota, California, Maine, and New York. You should be proud. You WON!

Following decades of ignoring social issues such as the homeless, tax increases, illegal alien invasion, overburdening of the healthcare system, including the enactment of punitive legislation, the voters finally made their point. Hooray.

After years of protesting, marching, seeking-out media cameras and microphones, their pontification about replacing business-as-usual life has morphed into anything but, for the voters who so desire change. Reaching back into history – which they were never taught in school – these nitwits believe they discovered something new called social unrest.

Social unrest is a state of constant flux with every faction uniting within tribes. These divisions have been occurring for decades, largely begun in the tumultuous 1960’s when the former Communistic Soviet Union (USSR) began infiltrating our long-held institutions with Commies.

In an attempt to try again to change yet another nation into a Socialist and Communist bastion, the USSR groomed American college students into good “reds” by indoctrinating them to admire and follow the Soviet style of government.

Overly restrictive former USSR nations included Eastern Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and, of course, Russia. They built walls to curtail migration, but not to keep citizens out; rather, they were designed to keep them from escaping.

These were largely dissolved beginning in the 1980’s with Soviet leader President Mikhail Gorbachev who moved toward a more social democracy a few years later.

But the wheels of infiltration were already in motion overseas with college campuses becoming chock full o’ reds who found themselves in positions of influence in academe, ready to change the world. And change it they did.

In fact, it worked so well, they began infiltrating high schools as well as middle schools, eventually down to elementary institutions of learning, to include pre-K. It all seemed so innocent with educators and writers introducing likable characters into stories, books, television shows, movies, plus cartoons.

It wouldn’t be long before the kids began begging for materials they saw in schools; the powers-that-be were glad to oblige with modifying classes of substance – history, geography, arithmetic, reading, English, and foreign languages – into lessons on how to use condoms, protest, acquire abortions, and sue your own parents if they balked at any of these modernistic classes.

This decades-long march toward dumbing-down students proved very, very successful in finding the solution, then creating the problem. That problem was with nosy parents who weren’t too busy to pay attention to their kids’ homework. Suddenly, the schools found themselves in quite a pickle trying to defend themselves from their curricula reaching daylight.

It is said: Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Along those lines, the sneaky propagandist educators found themselves desperately trying to remain hidden in the shadows to continue their mission of altering America.

Enter: transvestite parades, gay pride events, anti-gun and hunter programs, empathetic collections for the United Nations’ international relief efforts, gender swapping, planet-saving exercises based on contrived data, and sexual education classes that included eugenics. All these efforts were both hard-hitting and simultaneously informational, even though they were based upon propaganda.

Not unlike Cosa Nostra, otherwise known as The Mafia, which had infiltrated politics, finance, money laundering, as well as other avenues to lucrative crimes, the teachers and professors found themselves scrambling to find “protection” against any and all citizens desiring to stop their nefarious ways.

The solution was rather simple. Become the watchdog.

Running for school superintendent and school board positions would guarantee the fix was in. With teaching credentials and teacher-of-the-year awards dangling from their necks, educators were easily elected to these positions to not only hide the insidious lesson plans but also run interference.

It was foolproof.

To further guarantee success, city and county political positions were filled with cronies ready, willing, and able to keep those agenda-driven teachers-turned-schemers in positions of power. Ever heard of tenure?

Eventually eliminating competency examinations, reading, math, and geography, they gleefully removed civics classes and government, only to substitute empathy exercises as a way to build camaraderie.

With the voting age decreased from 21 to 18, the kids were now willing and able to effect the change they were taught, as well as utilize their newly-found skills.

But this movement was only beginning.

Women’s movement, black reparations, anti-religion push, and other tribalistic motilities helped further divide America. To assist broken families, sustenance programs were instituted by well-meaning politicians. Cheap housing, school immobility, extracurricular activities, medical care, and other freebies were enthusiastically distributed.

With no need for a two-income household, families dissolved, father figures became oddities, crime soared, as did mayhem and subsequent homicides. It didn’t take long for societal leaches to realize they had found an ideal solution to trading a permanent job for perpetual leisure. Period.

Illegal drugs flooded city streets and schools, tenement housing became breeding grounds for lessons on how to become a thug, while girls with only a dim hope to escape this nightmare often found themselves pregnant with all hopes dashed. It was a perfect recipe for disaster.

Politicians took full advantage of this mayhem to run for office promising even more goodies and a brighter tomorrow. After elected, though, things didn’t get better. They were often too busy feathering their own nests with bribes, scandals, graft, corruption, and fraud scandals. All in the name of empathy, of course.

Books have been written for roughly a century on the pitfalls of stealing other people’s money in the name of societal good under the guise of Socialism. They usually point to the same sordid paths to oblivion, only to be resurrected by those who are smarter than everyone else. Just ask them.

California is in the throes of several elections with non-taxpayers voting to raise taxes on the working class. This exercise is taking the cities, as well as the state itself, in a self-destructive direction. Homeless numbers have skyrocketed, only to be addressed in a flippant way. With taxpayers leaving the state in record numbers, their tax base is also dissolving.

New York State is in a similar bind, as Gubenor Kathy Hochul just signed a bill placing her state $9 billion further into debt, while New York City’s grinning Commie Mayor Mamdani is plunging his once admired metropolis into a chaos/hate-inflicted tornado where Jews are openly called evil. Keep smilin’, bro.

Minnesota mastermind Aimee Bock, who stole 
$250 Million in charity funding

Minnesota, on the other hand, finds itself with hapless Gubenor Tim Walz repeatedly lying to Congress about fraudulently obtained tax dollars, along with icky Congress member Ilhan Omar alleged to have funneled billions of taxpayer bucks to her once-home sewer known as Somalia. Wink, wink.

And we now arrive at Maine. That very blue state hates America as much as President Trump. They detest both so much, they just elected a Democratic Socialist Senatorial primary candidate, Graham Platner, who is a piece of something. To summarize, he hates women, law and order, President Trump and his supporters, plus Jews, while expressing love for killing people, hating women, and sodomizing criminals. Quite a guy.

It’s unfortunate America finds itself looking in the mirror and not liking what it sees. But we did it to ourselves. We permitted this havoc to not only occur, but to flourish. We, as a society, cannot see the forest for the trees. These mentally ill politicians need to be expelled from office. Elections need to be secured by only in-person voting, and those illiterate young voters need to realize there no such thing as a free lunch.

In any case, kudos on voting absolute losers as candidates for office. It’s your money, your safety, and your freedom that hangs in the balance, though.

Congratulations! You won!
