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?
Tribalism is another deadly plague…
It’s been around since human beings’ prehistory, and it has killed millions. It has led to some nations (think of them as big tribes) acting as aggressors and their victims egotistically whining that their plight is worse than other victims’ and vowing for revenge. These thoughts came to me when a reporter commented on the… Continue reading Tribalism is another deadly plague…
Want another government shutdown?
Or, how many ways can the fascist Good Ole Piranhas invent to destroy America? Unless the Dems are completely incompetent (always a possibility these days), they could easily take complete control of the US Congress in 2024. The Piranhas have shown in so many ways that their fascist proclivities have now made them completely incompetent,… Continue reading Want another government shutdown?
What does DJT think of Ukraine now?
Ignoring the other Putin lovers among the Good Ole Piranhas and whether DJT is capable of any rational thought, does that “f&^%ing moron” now think differently about Ukraine and its battle against Putin’s invasion of this much smaller country (with a big, brave heart!). One can only hope, but, as that first impeachment trial clearly… Continue reading What does DJT think of Ukraine now?
US bureaucracy is killing Ukrainians…
The Putin lovers in the US Congress, especially the House, don’t help (apparently they reflect some idiots in the sports world: A Colorado audience jeered a Ukrainian player, screaming “Russia!”), but President Biden and his administration’s dragging their heels (and knuckles too?) about helping Ukraine is killing Ukrainians, both soldiers and civilians. Show some moral… Continue reading US bureaucracy is killing Ukrainians…
‘Twas quite the debacle!
If there is anyone left in the US—no, even in the rest of the world!—who didn’t know earlier that the Good Ole Piranhas (aka GOP aka Republicans) are immature, self-destructive fascist idiots who are incapable of governing a sandbox in a schoolyard, they only had to watch the torturous proceedings in the chambers of the… Continue reading ‘Twas quite the debacle!
Fascists on the run?
Maybe. Maybe not. While the Russian monster Vladimir Putin might be—wow! did that moron miscalculate!—the Chinese one, Xi Jinping, is not. Fascism is on the move worldwide, buoyed up by the economic downturn, the remainders of the Covid-19 pandemic, OPEC+ greed (driven by the fascists MBS and Putin), and hunger and starvation caused by the… Continue reading Fascists on the run?
She was her father’s daughter…
That lethal tautology killed Daria Dugina. Although I seriously doubt Ukraine was responsible for that car bomb for many reasons (I suspect the resistance in Russia instead), I don’t really care. For me, any assassination of anyone in Putin’s far-right, fascist, and evil circle is completely justified, no matter who does it. It’s a justified… Continue reading She was her father’s daughter…
