How often have we heard that in our lives since we started voting? The polls say some political candidate will win; the opposing candidate says not so fast because “it’s up to the voters.” The polls say proposal X won’t pass here; X’s supporters say, “It’s up to the voters.” We once had a grand… Continue reading It’s up to the voters!

The wannabe emperor has no clothes!
I have to give Garry Trudeau credit here: Seeing a caricature of that “f&^%ing moron” in underpants and nothing else in the Doonesbury comic strip last Sunday—the fat (too many burgers and shakes?) and disgustingly mostly-naked fuehrer of the Fascist Party of America (the FPA aka Good Ole Piranhas or Marchin’ MAGA Morons), with his… Continue reading The wannabe emperor has no clothes!
No ethics, no love of democracy…
Everywhere you look nowadays you see fascists. While in the minority, they spew a lot of vitriol that gets your attention and the attention of the media. The FPA (Fascist Party of America aka GOP, the Good Ole Piranhas) is a minority party by any sane person’s definition, but they’ve manage to control all democratic… Continue reading No ethics, no love of democracy…
Some New Year’s resolutions offered for your survival in 2024…
Given that the FPA (the Fascist Party of America aka GOP or the Good Ole Piranhas) will undoubtedly continue to threaten a takeover of the US led by their fuehrer, you-know-who, I thought I’d suggest some New Year’s resolutions so all good people can prepare for the vicious onslaught of the MAGA maniacs. Buy a… Continue reading Some New Year’s resolutions offered for your survival in 2024…
“All politics is local…”
Tip O’Neill’s famous quote applies to many aspects of our current political life in the US. In Connecticut, NJ, and NY state outside NYC, it slaps us in the face as the world’s most famous city (citizens of London, Paris, Rome, and other large cities might object, but they don’t have to live in the… Continue reading “All politics is local…”
A brief summary of key 2023 events: Will the world become fascist in 2024?
One major theme that has appeared from the beginning in this blog has been the rise of fascism in the US and around the world. Rcent events prove that this warning wasn’t alarmist blathering but very real. The war in Ukraine and the border problem. Even people of good faith are forgetting about the danger… Continue reading A brief summary of key 2023 events: Will the world become fascist in 2024?
Is George Santos unemployable?
Now that 03 NY-Representative and Good Ole Piranhas’ wunderkind George Santos has been expelled from the House, do you feel sorry for this sociopathic moron? Besides the twenty-plus federal charges against him, his many lies have made him the most infamous ex-politician in America right now, almost as much as the Piranhas’ fuehrer, that “f^%$ing… Continue reading Is George Santos unemployable?
Double-see from the Good Ole Piranhas…
Double-speak was defined by George Orwell in 1984, that dystopian and depressing novel that so masterfully outlined the dangers of fascism, but historians might have to change the date to 2024 when analyzing the events that turned the US and the world to fascism yet again. The US and several other traditional democracies are definitely… Continue reading Double-see from the Good Ole Piranhas…
Inspector General for SCOTUS?
Don’t count on it! The four fascist SCOTUS judges will torpedo that initiative as fast as Clarence Thomas can refuse to recuse himself from cases involving people from whom he’s received gifts. People don’t respect SCOTUS judges much now: They’ve gone to the dark side of the political spectrum aka Fascism (yes, with a capital… Continue reading Inspector General for SCOTUS?
Where have all the true conservatives gone
I’m going to violate a long-standing policy that I’ve followed in my posts: I’m starting this one by quoting someone who wrote a letter to the NY Times editor (11/6/2023): “Not ‘Conservative’ Re “The Roots of Republican Dysfunction,” by Jamelle Bouie, 10/22/2023): The MAGA supporters who call themselfves ‘conservative’ yet supported the Big Lie are… Continue reading Where have all the true conservatives gone
