What’s that saying? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it’s a duck? Yet, regardless of the evidence of one’s eyes, there wouldn’t be a saying if people were not inclined to still be led down the garden path. So, for some Americans, approximately 42% or so last count, when the duck walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks … Continue reading Its All Ducky, Long As You Are Lucky Enough To Be Born Wealthy Duck
Who knew, eh, that when we hire jackals who profit from the unchecked predatory natures of wealthy men and their patriarchal stench of their desires, believing themselves above the law, who knew that associating with these stink piles could backfire? Who knew that hiring a scumbag who willingly makes cushy deals with wealthy hustlers that rape and traffic young girls and children could come back … Continue reading The Predator President And The Pedophile And All The Other Stuff That Happened This Week That Made My Blood Boil
As a student of history, a person who spends as much time watching documentaries and TV progs on ancient history as I do crime drama’s or leftist YouTube channels, I sometimes suppose my perspective is a bit different. Basically, because once you begin to look back, and the farther that one goes back, you do begin to see these patterns, the rising and falling of … Continue reading The Ups And Downs Of Ignorance And The Rise Of Fascism
Concerning the world of American politics I admit to being a bit of a newbie. Actually, and to be completely honest, I began this journey down the rabbit hole writing about the chaos and division threatening the land down yonder where I was born without a clear understanding of the system, so I’ve been learning about how they do things, what things they can do, … Continue reading The Future Of American Politics And The Fresh Faces Of Congress Who Are Paving The Way
When I spoke to my dad back in the fall of 2015 about Trump, what stood out, the reason he said he would vote for him – and remember this was when he seemed like a long shot – was that dad liked that he just “said it like it is”, and that dad believed he was too wealthy to be bought, unlike all the … Continue reading To Be The Rebel With A Cause
For the last few days I’ve avoided it, couldn’t focus on it as it just didn’t feel, I don’t know, writable I guess? Or, not coherent enough to in any way make sense, cause, I am still wrestling with it, and pushed it off to the side, sitting on the stoop instead on my days off watching the sunshine dapple the shade of my woodland … Continue reading Of Truths Truer Than Truthiness And Trump
This has happened time and time again, in Afghanistan in the late 1970s, in Germany in the 1930s, Russia at the turn of the century, the 20th century was a time of the rise of the dictator, born of fear, in steps just the leader to take advantage of the turmoil, and another authoritarian regime is born from the chaos. Regimes ride in on waves … Continue reading Do Not Look Away, Do Not Turn Off, Do Not Tune Out, And Above All, We Can Not Lose Faith
When I look at, listen to, read about anything Trump related, the one thing that stands out is how out of touch he is with reality. Reality to him seems like some sort of thing he can mould to take the shape of whatever ‘reality’ he is in, unrelated to actual ‘reality’. See, one of the reasons I’ve hauled back on the U.S. Political posts … Continue reading So, About That Politico Mumbo Jumbo, I Don’t Know What The Hades To Say, And Some Advice
From a distance, its easy to just wax on eloquently on the benefits of diversity, to be the open-minded one, to balk at the crass racism one sees elsewhere. Moving to the GTA (Greater Toronto Area), I travelled an hour north on Hurontario through Mississauga to get to work, riding the bus, passengers getting on and off – this area they were all east Indian, … Continue reading Take That All In
Not that I am by any means the first to wonder this, to think that this bat guano crazy train White House and the whole right wing part of the political spectrum in the U.S. has completely gone off the rails, swerving dangerously into authoritarian tyrannical territory. Does any of the legislators on that side of the aisle have any courage left? Any sense of … Continue reading Use Your Eyes And Your Ears Not Your Fears
Of late I’ve been plowing through this British TV series, Midsomer Murders, set in a fictitious quintessential English county, with heinous crimes taking place in quaint chocolate box villages, replete with the village pub, town hall, garden parties and cricket matches. Murders committed by everyone from the village idiot to the Lord of the manor. In each DCI Barnaby and a sidekick sergeant investigate with … Continue reading Barr’s Bupkus And Mueller Resigns
Maybe sounds like self-righteous blather, but I’m not very materialistic, I don’t want things, actually I want less things. Sure, I want enough to live on, some for entertainment, good food, a nice roof over my head, but all that is relative, and frankly I also live very simply. I am attracted to simplicity, to found objects, to things that others discard, of family heirlooms … Continue reading They Smelt The Blood Of A Greedy Man
On the surface, looking shallowly, some argue that the president is being attacked by his political rivals. Yet, is that really the case? Is this the presidents legal battles all just some political attack brought on by his opponents? Is he just a victim of a left-wing conspiracy bent on taking down a duly elected president? In fact, Trump is no amateur on the litigation … Continue reading Because Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
