Itch, Itch, Scratch, Scratch

 

  Chances are good you may have heard the terms “nit,” “nitwit,” and “nitpick.” All those are legitimate words and all have different meanings depending on how and when they’re used.

A nit is, by definition, an egg from head lice. I know, YUCK! But we need to begin somewhere herein with setting parameters.

Head lice are itsy-bitsy critters that infest human heads. Since the inception of another school year, kids will invariably come home with head lice. Lice are kinda related to other creatures like fleas, but lice do not jump; they merely annoy the host by biting the scalp to from which to suck blood.

After drawing blood, they lay eggs which are called nits. EEEW! Sure, it’s a long way to get here, but I have some extra time on my hands today.

In any case, nits are microscopic and can be eliminated with the benefit of special topical medication. Lice arrive from people trading hats, sleeping on infested pillows, plus human-to-human contact. They do not jump from host-to-host, though. Lastly, infestations are not contagious or a reflection of cleanliness.

Moving on, nitwits is a word I use often to represent tiny-brained people. Remember, nits are microscopic, meaning their brains are even smaller. Hence, the moniker nitwit implying little brain capacity.

Finally, we arrive at nitpick which is a word given to find fault with insignificant details, usually incorporating criticism for minutiae. You have likely run across a person, or two, who like to nitpick word, actions, ideas, and thoughts just because they can. That’s largely because they they need to feel more informed and more important than you, but those feelings are often fleeting at the cost of camaraderie.

This is where I believe it important to mention neither I nor my sainted wife ever suffered from an infestation from head lice, including nits.

Regardless, I was watching the news when the dissection of recent political primary results took front and center of anything noteworthy. Those results were delivered with glee or consternation, depending upon the network to which I was tuned.

Left leaning stations were agog replete with news-reading lackeys sporting party hats and confetti over the advancement of their Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) candidates.

On the other hand, conservative networks were more stoic, attempting to temper their emotions over the flood of “newcomers” who clearly have a new radical direction for the United States of America.

‘Surprising’ is the best single word description of both sides in this rising tide of class warfare. Each side has its fingers crossed for a favorable outcome; beware of what you wish.

My scalp began itching each time one of the victorious DSA newcomers was interviewed, or a prerecorded video was shown. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch. My mind quickly gravitated to head lice.

Suddenly a video Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) appeared with her insincere smile complimenting her bird-like eyes. She was doing her best to explain the shocking results in the primaries over the past few weeks.

Her phoniness exuded from each pore on her body as she appeared to take a page out of KommieLa Harris’ playbook of “Word Salad Speeches and Remarks to Baffle Everyone.”

AOC interjected words like “woke” while mentioning new directions and fresh blood for The Party. She further attempted to pave a new destination for this crazy train: the Democratic Big Tent. Without actually saying anything of substance, AOC alluded everyone in this Big Tent was anxious to work together to “change the country.” Itch, itch, scratch, scratch.

Unfortunately, she was evidently too busy high-fiving other DSAers to notice some of the other DSA primary winners were seemingly not interested in playing nice with others or even negotiating for their new radical desires.

Clearly cut from the cloth of Communists of yore worldwide, this crop of DSA lackeys has great ambitions ranging from total redistribution of wealth to re-education camps, and everything in-between. Too bad many fellow travelers will be disappointed once they learn what the promises entail.

With the assistance of a radical fellow, Zohran Mamdani, newly elected mayor of New York City, the gimme gimmes of society are eagerly touting Mr. Mayor’s basket of tripe being sold as “progress.” Free buses, city-owned grocery stores, no-cost childcare, among a slew of other lofty promises are already proving to be failures. Of course, it’s not Mamdani’s fault; he simply needs more money.

Who could have seen that coming?

Glad you asked.

Virtually every credible economist in America declared those campaign freebies as bait just ahead of the inevitable switch.

Not unlike the platitudes averred by ALL DSA candidates, they want to give you everything. After all, salaries, supplies, junkets, kickbacks, and graft are born somewhere. But where will the money come from? You know the answer. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch.

Taxes from “the wealthy who don’t pay their fair share.” Remember them? Commie Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and our ol’ buddy AOC, are all forming a conga line to dance their way to your wallet and other valuable assets to include investments and real estate and inheritances.

These crooks feel they have a right to YOUR money. They don’t.

Using the logic that “__fill in the blank______ is a human right,” gets lots of traction through appeal to the lazy, uninformed, unmotivated, and perpetual victims in society. Forgiving student loans, giving money for a home down payment, vouchers for electric vehicles, grants for solar panels, and Medicare-for-all, will create a class war situation that may be irreversible.

Relentlessly pushing their Communistic agenda on uninformed Americans who believe life will be unchanged following a Socialist/Communist upheaval is working just as planned. But there’s a catch.

With a number of these DSAers hiding parts of their secret agenda, they plan to pounce the moment they make it into office. The Democratic Party is in a shambles. Democrats dislike organized religion, law and order, sovereignty, safety, among other issues that make America America.

Two irredeemable America-haters 

Neophytes Abdul El-Sayed, his virulent anti-Semite buddy Hasan Doğan Piker, plus a few “Squad” members, to include Representative Rashida Tlaib (D), are all acknowledged members of Islam. These three slinkies have been actively avoiding being labeled as devout Muslims even though El-Sayed has refused to disavow Sharia Law. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch.

Which brings us full circle to blood sucking head lice. Their nits are ready to begin sucking on our scalp for blood – in the style of the over 75,000 Somalis grifting Michiganders, Minnesotans, and taxpaying Americans through fraud and corruption. Only this time it will be on a much larger scale.

But the worst part is that this will wind up as a religious battle or civil war. Without the benefit of a Ouija board, I predict, these disingenuous slugs will hide behind the First Amendment’s Freedom of Religion right, coupling with it the destruction of the Senate, Supreme Court, police, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, borders, right to private property ownership, and due process.

If you don’t think this can happen, take a look at the United Kingdom. They, too, were overrun by Muslim immigrants who overtook political offices, changed laws, ignored crime, and turn a blind eye to sex crimes against women, all in the name of progress. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch.

I’m sure my itching is from the blood rushing through my scalp. Still, if it’s not the nots, it may very well be nit wits with the minuscule thinking capacities voting for this mayhem.

Most of these DSA folks have proved to be mental midgets, easily taking offense at anything and everything; as such, they resemble small children. To be certain, just listen to these whiny DSA candidates nitpicking how terrible you are for mispronouncing their Muslim names, Abdul El-Sayed. Itch, itch, scratch, scratch.

Convoluted Sports Roundup

 

  This is a great time of year for nearly everyone who loves sports. You’ll notice I qualified that opener by adding “who loves sports.”

Those who don’t love sports include a wide variety of both athletes and non alike. Please allow me to explain.

Personally, I enjoy watching any number of sports, although I prefer participating more. My younger years were spent running track, playing baseball, bouncing a basketball, tossing a football, as well as throwing Jarts before they were outlawed (look them up.) In fact, I still have my jai alai cesta – just in case I have a hankering to play again.

Jai alai cesta

I still occasionally break out the bocce ball set, when time permits, as I do with some fishing equipment to amuse the world’s gilled community.

But as of late I noticed the sports world has left me lagging – behind the proverbial 8-ball, so to speak – when it comes to understanding this realm of leisurely distractions.

It seems as though most of these activities are comprised of “professionals.” Pros, are those who actually earn a living playing with a ball – something my father promised very few humans would be privileged to do. He clearly saw I possessed no athletic talents that might be comical to anyone without a sense of humor. Just saying.

The fact that many pros are making millions of dollars annually only whets the appetites of hopeful youngsters dreaming of a career “playing” for a living. Not unlike actors and actresses pretending to be something or someone for money and fame, the big draw is not getting dirt under their fingernails while reaping a handsome paycheck for playing a game.

Nearly monthly a new sport arises from nothing into the next big thing. And these new sports are not necessarily altogether new, only repackaged from activities of old.

Imagine a couple of inebriated guys – or women – perched around a campfire. The weather is chilly, beer is cold and frothy, and these alpha males and females are bored. One of them decides to grab the firewood hatchet and throw it toward an innocent tree. Wham! It sticks into the tree, business end first. Voilà!

A new sport is born called “hatching throwing.” How great is that? And the guvment outlawed Jarts – the sport I thought you were supposed to look up. You didn’t though.

In any case, all those folks who eagerly gave their tennis rackets to second-hand stores, as well as the garbage men, just recently rushed out to buy something called pickleball rackets and fashionable togs for a new sport of Pickle Ball. As of this writing, my sainted wife and I are the only two people in North America who never tried this new fad. By the way, it is a cross between tennis and ping pong. Just what the world needed.

Speaking of filling a void, corn hole is another “sport” evolved from a means of employing plywood, 2x4’s a hole saw along with a couple of bean bags, and you have yet another brilliant sport. These components comprise the necessities for the marriage of horseshoes and Jarts. Only far less dangerous.

Although removing most peril and inevitable trips to the emergency room from backyard activities, these unsafe activities are running neck-and-neck with an ol’ standard sport of something called “basketball.”

As previously mentioned, I dabbled in basketball during my impressionable youth. It was just after segregation when white and black students not only began learning and studying together, but also playing together. Football, baseball, wrestling, as well as basketball, were the sports – outside of track and field events – to which most students gravitated.

Of course there were disagreements, because people are people, but we always worked things out. And it would be lie to mention some of these disagreements revolved around racial perceptions leading to tomorrow’s practice and the next game.

So it is with interest that I have been watching scholastic sports devolve into something unrecognizable from roughly sixty-years ago. Thinking we, as a society, were supposed to be getting smarter, I was, once again, proven wrong.

A few years back, America witnessed a mediocre high school swimmer decide he wanted to be a she. He apparently had difficulty competing in swimming against other male competitors, so he thought it prudent to pretend he was a she. Of course he wasn’t. He only pretended inasmuch as he still had his “junk” – the family jewels, so to speak.

Inasmuch as he was still producing testosterone, he was larger, faster, stronger, and freakier in his two-piece bathing suit. Yes, I’m being kind.

This wannabe woman immediately began winning one meet after another, much to the chagrin of women who were born women and still remain women. Not something that was totally unexpected. Still, the hoopla began, with sanity and insanity breaking camps to choose sides. Let the games begin!

In order to avoid offending too many people, the powers-that-be sided with this boy competing against girls, leaving the girls to fend for themselves. Clearly attempting to avoid lawsuits against him, as well as school administrators plus municipal decision makers, began making novenas to stave off legal actions.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work as well as they had hoped. Even a potential Supreme Court Justice had difficulty with describing “what a woman was.” Quite the gift from then-President Joe Biden.

Following several years of drivel among the anointed, we find ourselves at another crossroads in differentiating between the make and female sexes. Which creates a nice segue to another relatively new sport of Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA).

Begun thirty-years ago, the WNBA was created in the vein of the National Basketball Association (NBA), likely to occupy the free time of female basketball athletes along with a smattering of fans. The “W” in WNBA is important to this matter.

And so, this is where today’s story actually begins.

Many of the WNBA athletes are of questionable sexual proclivity, several of whom are decidedly masculine. In addition, plenty of these athletes are black and appear to have more trouble with their white counterparts than existed during my high school years playing basketball.

Seriously outnumbered, several white women are regularly subject to abuse administered both orally and physically. Further, the draw to watch these games increase exponentially when several white players demonstrated their abilities to outscore and out-rebound their black counterparts.

As of late, racist tweets have been made to introduce the ugliness of discrimination based upon ones color. Violent fouls followed by sports world outrage have created a deep chasm in a lackluster relatively “new” sport of the WNBA.

It is a travesty that none of the coaches, team owners, or player themselves are able to control any segment of their sport. They are very fortunate attendance is up, as is television air time, plus soaring ticket sales, to witness this sport beginning to finally flower, though.

To punctuate this inane attempt to turn a blind eye to the blurring of players born with the ‘wrong’ parts, former NBA players have publicly declared themselves as “men who now identify as women.” Tongue-in-cheek, these masculine 6’ 7” + basketball phenoms are eager to make a point that men should play against men, while women ought to play against women, lest the blurred lines bring the possibility of severe physical injury.

In other words, the WNBA is a marriage of roller derby and a ball.

A poll from Pew Research found that 73% of Americans believe that men who identify as women don’t belong in women’s sports, per MS NOW.

Pew also found that 66% of Americans favor laws or policies requiring transgender athletes to compete on teams matching their gender assigned at birth, also according to MS NOW.

Time is nigh to get control of this childish, dangerous, thug-like behavior. If the players are irreversibly racist, angry at others who outplay them, they should find a real job.

Further, allowing men and wannabe men – or wannabe women – to participate in the WNBA is very dangerous. Any fouls they create will be far more consequential. If they allow players to use brass knuckles, I may actually watch.

And that’s today’s convoluted sports roundup. Maybe they should simply legalize Jarts again.

Beware

 

  Introduced in 1939 was a new crime fighting character called Batman appearing in the Detective Comics series. Batman handily helped the Gotham Police force fight criminals who desperately wanted to overthrow Gotham City.

Gotham City was a weak cover for what many people with half a brain would consider New York City.

Overrun with wily criminals, each with a unique costume and equally clever moniker, all of whom posed a serious threat to that large metropolitan area, relentlessly fought the haggard Gotham Police Chief to overthrow this imaginary urban snakepit.

It was so successful that Batman was spun-off into his own series of comics eventually overtaking the popularity of Detective Comics.

I was transitioning from elementary school when Batman was transformed into something very special – an action television program that featured real people rather than cartoons.

Batman, along with his trusty sidekick Robin (Boy Wonder,) also known as the Dynamic Duo, literally came to life replete with the Secret Bat Cave as well as the Batmobile. And regularly, as the plot of the caper-of-the-week unfolded, additional new Bat-related inventions and crime fighting devices were unveiled – much to the delight of me.

Of course, nearly every week also introduced new villains who found their way into Gotham City only to be a thorn in the side of Police Commission Gordon, and subsequently the Dynamic Duo, in this campy series. Of course.

Riddler 

One of those recurring miscreants was a garish character known as Riddler. This supervillain, who sported a green bodysuit, often along with a bowler hat, regularly taunted Batman and Robin with riddles. Giving the Dynamic Duo enough information to whet their appetites, these riddles provided enough clues for an astute crime fighter to point them into the right direction for continuity to the next episode.

Being in the twelve-year-old range when this series was popular, I often found these riddles both identifying and crafty, eventually leading to the location of Riddler and his cunning henchmen, with Riddler ultimately ruing his game of cat-and-mouse.

This is where we begin this week’s journey into the real world – à la Riddler.

Riddle me this: They proudly mock Christian and Jewish religions, white people, hard workers, studious self-starters, informed voters, logical thinkers, environmental skeptics, as well as loyal Americans.

They think the proud veterans, plus current military enlistees are dupes. They openly aver to hating America, while nuzzling up to mentally unstable comrades who regularly encourage the violent overthrow of our nation.  

Regularly holding public forums, these weaselly excuses for humans lie to gain an advantage over the voters, then immediately change direction once elected to joyfully confiscate private property and hard-earned monies. They detest people who save for retirement, just as they make outrageous claims to snooker voters, all with a toothy smile. Their plan is to ultimately destroy America, its Constitution, open borders to all, and gut the Republican Party in total.

Who are they?

If you’ve been following the news lately, you would be easily able to cough up the correct answer to this somewhat lengthy, albeit concise riddle.

The definitive answer is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). They regularly disguise themselves under the cover to the Democratic Party, while also surreptitiously working toward an ultimate goal of turning America into a Communistic society, with a side order of Islam.

But this current journey into tossing The Constitution into the shredder has been whetting the appetite of many chameleons who have been effectively posing as mere Democrats for years. Without saying the quiet part aloud, these seemingly mentally-off politicians are simply pure evil.

They pretend to want to change the course of life in these United States for the better, often pointing to the unemployed, high cost of living, inability to buy homes, unaffordable childcare, and high medical costs. If elected, these consummate liars promise everyone will be equal and want for nothing. They believe they are the saviors for which we have been waiting. You betcha.

DSAers have been around in varying parts of the world for ages – under the Socialist Party guise. They ardently tried to destroy American manufacturing, the education system, health system, as well as the nuclear family ever since their inception during the 1920’s.

Other foreign countries believed this tripe and sampled the water of the Socialist well-of-plenty. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to them, the well was poisoned with half-truths and outright lies. The problem, however, was that simply purifying the well was not possible.

Eventually, the masses catch on to the scam about the time the Socialists break out the guns, for compliance, as Socialism morphs into Communism.

With newly divided nations, citizens living therein were suddenly viewed as subjects and workers – in other words: the proletariat – existing only to satisfy the wants and desires of the leaders who successfully conned them into slavery for which they enthusiastically voted. Congratulations!

Those much-desired jobs wound up being picking vegetables and cleaning bathrooms, while school curricula were reconfigured to reflect only the “history” the new leaders wanted to share. The nuclear family dissolved into state sponsored childcare and schools molding the children’s tender, hungry brains to be at the beck and call of the Communist Party for the good of everyone (Read: Brainwashing.)

Affordable housing became tenements, as the medical costs debacle took on a whole new life.

Recall a former president named Barack Obama? He was the leader of the United States from 2009-2017. His major impressions left on our nation include intentionally dividing the races, attempting to bankrupt our treasury, enjoying golfing, and desperately wanting to give everyone access to health insurance.

If you’re old enough to remember, a woman named Saint Hillary Clinton, wife of President William Jefferson Clinton, led the universal healthcare parade during her time as First Lady. Unfortunately, her efforts fell flat because of the exorbitant cost of corralling the entire healthcare industry into agreeing on handing control of one-sixth of the federal budget over to the perpetually inept guvment. Alas, another stellar idea wasted.

Grabbing the baton, President Obama thought this was too easy to lose. He banged the rally drum across the country touting “No one would wind-up homeless due to a catastrophic illness.” That cutting slogan stuck. But people being people heard what they wanted to hear rather than the facts.

Obama, just as with St. Hillary, promised health insurance, not health care. Overwhelming the system with hospitals catering to everything from common hang nails to gunshot wounds, the hospital cue lines grew longer by the hours ensuring care was given. Too bad it was often mediocre. Patients all found themselves dying of old age standing in line.

This brilliant thinking is the same process driving the childlike, simpleminded solutions to DSA’s perceived crises. Why else would such intellectuals demand prison closures, open borders, no bail laws, defunding the police and immigration control, redistribution of wealth to illegal immigrants, along with lowering food costs?

In the 1960’s under Democratic President Lyndon Johnson, a federal-level food stamp program was begun. Giving vouchered food coupons to needy individuals and families based upon their incomes, food stamps were thought to be the ideal solution to the hunger blight of the less affluent in America.

But after sixty-years of handouts, those same people from that same political party are now announcing this effort resulted in a total failure. A disaster. Changes are now needed. NOW.

Enter the neighborhood guvment-run grocery stores. Already tried without any success in a few cities, this costly brainstorm caused the local Mom and Pop stores to shutter their businesses because they couldn’t compete with guvment-subsidized stores. Conjured up by Democrats and DSAers alike, were city-subsidized grocery stores to make foodstuffs more affordable. While seemingly noble, these politicians simply played a con game. Eventually, they all went the way of the dinosaurs. And now there are none.

This is important to know because it all revolves around from whence the money to fund these initiatives is derived. You.

Reinventing the wheel is not the goal of the DSA crowd or the Democrats or the Communists. They want the masses to be beholding to them; that involves destroying the wheel. And the only way to do that is by coercion and lies.

We detest slavery because slaves are not free individuals. Yet the voters are being misled down a path to certain destruction of proven failed policies while being ruled with an iron fist.

Over taxation of everyone, increasing crime, confiscation of money and private property, re-education efforts, remanufacturing the Supreme Court, dissolution of the Senate, revamping The Constitution, and the cessation of free and fair elections is not going to end well.

America is on the cusp of falling for the wacky rants and ideas of immature gimme-gimmes egged on by clueless “problem solvers,” many of whom escaped communistic conditions elsewhere in the world. They escaped the torture, poverty, crime, and repression of freedom to come to our nation.

And now they want to change our nation. Voters: Beware.

That is the answer to the riddle.

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 ineligible 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.
