Here we go again, Trump attacks America's favorite passtime, Baseball.

 I have to say never in my life have I heard a President degrade America in my lifetime so. 
In fact, having to date read at least the annotated Biography of over 30 US Presidents, I have never heard of a President attacking and degrading American Institutions and Pastimes before. 
He spent his two-year Presidential Campaign attacking a Kneeling Negro in the NFL, followed by his encouragement to boycott of football. Cause you know that scary Negro doing unamerican things. 
He attacked our automotive industries, cities, neighborhoods and of course basketball. 
He stooped to all time low's attacking loser POWs, but his supporters cheered.
He spent his first year hiding from the rain and calling soldiers in WW1 Losers, while it's the one thing not on tape considering his disdain for the common man and those serving, this is hardly surprising. 
What you say? Trump loves servicemen and women? Sure, he loves anyone willing to do his bidding, but not enough to serve himself, nor to have his boys sign up for selective service. In fact they had to sign a contract that if they did, they would be disowned. 
Then of course he bad-mouthed every living President and trashed most of our dead ones too. 
Even the cherished Abraham Lincoln trump proudly proclaimed, was beneath General Lee. 
During the Pandemic it was all about him and per his entire life, lie, deflect responsibility and degrade. 
Now he takes on baseball as they made a moral business decision to pull out of Georgia for the all star game do to Georgias recent voter suppression law. 
Good for them. 
It's sad we have to wait for America's corporations to be the beacon of Humanity, god knows it left the GOP about 20 years ago, stampeding to everything it always proclaimed to have stood against. 

I have no doubt if Trump runs in 2024, his supporters which apparently hate America with their every fiber, will line up to support him and his hate. 
I don't get it, he is everything they detest, everything we all detest but there they are, cheering for their own downfall and the demolition of their supposed beloved country. 

What a Trans Person can teach us all about Humanity

 Its been nearly 25 years ago since I first found online chat and gaming which lead to an addiction of both. Fortunately, computers went obsolete so fast I could not afford to keep buying a fast enough computer to keep gaming, so my time waster turned to political chat. 
Politics is likely the only A  I received in high school and the only class I did not fall asleep in. The Teacher even remarked that I was the only student who actually enjoyed his class.
Fast forward a few years and that Political chat room I would waste countless hours arguing and just having fun.
It would bless me with several people in my life whom I would talk to for years after that program went by the wayside. Two of those chatters have since passed so I can say with certainty they were lifetime friends.
But this is about Trans and as far as I know one of my first exposures to that "Ideal" never mind the Girl on our high school football team, she was built like a boy and played as well as one so she does not count. Oddly despite being MT, none of us cared.
It probably is at this point I will confess I don't really understand the Transexual/Transvestite nonsense and I hope I never do. In fact, after I am done with this post I hope it is irrelevant to us all.
With that being said Pagan,  someone from Australia whom I shall use her online name may even be a Hermaphrodite, I dono and do not care.
I do know this, Politically we are mostly polar opposites and we argued like it day in and day out until it came out she had her own BDSM service which oddly I felt was my business to know about.
Really it was no one's but if nothing else to ridicule her for it as it was then I found out her sexual identity was in question.
I'm not really sure to date why I cared about either, maybe it was Faux news, maybe just something to mock, but I did. 
The point is over the years we both chatted with a mutual person online named Katie, whom we both would meet in person.
I have always been pretty good about not caring whom someone else was friends with but after Pagan's visit to America, I did ask Katie what it was. She pretty much made clear it was none of my business, and she was right it was not.
Katie lived in AZ and after about eight years of chatting I met her at a medieval event, I was participating in called n"Estrella" in Pheonix.
She had a bubbly amazing personality online and was such a special person in my life I will do a blog regarding her and some others.
We stayed friends over the years as Katie did with Pagan.
Now if you are wondering, there was nothing sexual, Katie was deeply in love with her soul mate but was open minded and liked Pagan as a friend.
Katie was one of those people who could not catch a break and after losing her Partner to cancer she would end up with it as well, just a few months later.
She and Paul were never married and she was not entitled to his pension or SS so things were hard on her with America's often cruel medical system she would find herself on Chemo, unable to work all the while having her things repossessed.  
Times like this are when you find out who your friends are and many of those in-person went absent.
She had another mutual friend, Rodney  from the same chat room and another state fly in to help and if that was not incredible enough, Pagan would fly in from Australia to as Katie put it "Hold my hair back while I puked in the toilet"so few friends would step up
I was Gobsmacked, having cared for my Terminal father I knew how few people not only understood what caring for a sick person was but how few would step up to help. 
Katie would beat that round of cancer and live a few more years to only pass from another form, through that time she shared a close friend to Pagan.
So Pagan as I said I do not understand your lifestyle choices and like most and  I do not understand the chemistry in your body, but damn, hold your head up high, you are what all people should aspire to be, a true humanitarian and beyond that a True Friend.
I hope from this, you the reader learn that some things are not our business and those going through things we do not understand are still humans too. Sometimes better humans than we ourselves and why not, they have had to deal with not only being ostracized from society but their families too.

A Prominant Conservative Authors Bizarre Alternate Reality on History and My Correction

 First I want to say that History is fluid based on the information at hand or possibly changing information from released records, Archeological or Anthropological findings. A good Historian will quantify and provide a Bibliography. With that said I  have read enough Conservative books & articles to realize that far too often they are not only inaccurate but intentionally misleading and little more than propaganda.
Thats not ro say it does not exist on both sides, it does, but I also want to remind people that there is a middle area where I think most of us want to be, which id where I try to be and ogically is the most stable.
Here is the Book synopsis and my reply is below.


The Presidents: White House Leaders or Residents - Sal Martingano

I try to approach each article and book with an open mind, however, the supposedly well-educated Professor has an understanding of our history that is roughly equivalent to the typical American who read a book or two in their lifetime.

So lemme help Sal and the poor unsuspecting person who might fall for this terrible historical hack.

The League of Nations created a point where countries could talk and make decisions on the good of society as a whole to help prevent another massive war, to help cope with famine and other issues which inevitably affect us all.

A big mouth who railed against Socialism and Liberalism stormed onto the scene in 1933 named Adolf Hitler would help destroy the League of nations descending us into an era of nationalism and the predictable disaster which would lead us to WW2.

Next we fast forward to Ronny Reagan whom he pins as some kind of an anomaly and accidental leader. He failed to mention the Actor had already been Governor of California where he helped sign into law the state's first Emissions law. He also signed off on more evil socialism as he attacked cheap affordable firearms and squashed carrying a firearm.  As POTUS He would oversee two recessions and until the next failed actor, the largest drop in the stock market in history,. He also spent America into oblivion with his Tax Cuts and the nonsense arms race. He also oversaw the most corrupt administration of the 20th century with the Iran Conta Scandle with dozens in his cabinet becoming felons.. To be fair Reagan himself was not corrupt but had Altizmers and was easily manipulated. The Russians never took him seriously as he was after all an Actor.  

While Reagans policies by todays standards are extreme liberal, Phones for the Poor the ADA, 86 Assault weapons ban Etc,. with that said there is a direct correlation to his policies and the fall of the middle class.

Remember The Fringe Religous Zealots We Used to Laugh At? They are Mainstream and Politicians Now.

It came to me like a flood when I was watching the 2001 Movie "Bubble Boy". The theme was a Boy Kept Sheltered by his wacked out religious family. The Boy was in love with a girl next door whom his mother called "The Whore Next Door"
The movie would go on to make fun of typical Teenage Sins such as waking up with a hardon, which his loon mother dealt with by having him say the Pledge of Allegiance over and over again until it went away.
This fit the narrative as the boy did not have indoctrinated public schooling and instead learned alternative facts from his mother.
Sound familiar? 
I was raised fairly conservative and not being allowed to watch movies that other "kids" my age could, such as Star Wars, Red Dawn and even Police Acadamy. In fact my sister had to argue to get her ears pierced when she was 16. Why? because the Bible says its a Sin.
With that said they did not limit us as much as other "Bible" families or communities. Do you remember the movie Footloose with Kevin Bacon? Yea that was loosely based on a real Town in Oklahoma where Dancing was forbidden as it caused people to become intoxicated and sexually aroused.
Sounds absurd but it gets worse as I've personally met families who believe Dancing wakes the Devil, is this what they are referring? Who knows it is so absurd, yet that is the point of this post, absurd fringe Ideas which are mainstream.
To make it worse they now have Universities teaching "Alternative Science" and even "Law"
As religious as we were growing up we never doubted Evoluti8on and I never heard of the Earth only being 6k years old until an argument with my Egangilical Cousin who was about to graduate College with his Associate Degree.
He truly believed Noah Saved the Dinosaurs, Truly.
Now I find out there are non Evolutionary Biologists, Really?
Now that's goofy, but the Governor of Montana, a wealthy business man who used computer science and the science of marketing to make himself very wealthy. Now here is the problem with Socirty, we often relate intelligence with success. While Gov Giaforte did use science his understanding of science in general is appalling. Believing in the myth of noah is ok, but to believe the Earath is only 6k years old is fucking ignorant. To make it worse he stated people do not need to retire as Noah lived to be a few hundred years old.

Religous nutters in offices in other states have went so far as to push to make Abortion and even a Miscarriage criminal. 
When a Miscarriage Becomes a Crime (elle.com)
We have the county Clerk in Kentuckt who became famous for denying homosexuals a marriage license as the Bible says homosexuality is an Abomination, that is True but it also says Adultery is a cardinal sin to which she was guilty in a previous marriage.
I would also mention that the Bible also does not allow a woman to have voice over a man. Do we really want that mainstream?
It gets worse when these kind of people are on the Board of Education to decide what is in our Text Books. Netflix has a great mini documentary on this dealing with the Texas Board of Education, 
Netflix USA: The Revisionaries is available on Netflix for streaming (newonnetflix.com)
The point is this people, you have the right to believe as you choose and you will, but you do not have the right to push that belief on other people, that is our Fist Amendment Right to speak and worship freely but also to be free from religious ideology forced on us from the Government.
We already have a Conservative Supreme court that has not been this radical in nearly a Century, that's bad enough. We are likely to see a repeal of rights and things we now take for granted, there is almost nothing you can do about it.
Analysis: The Supreme Court hasn't been this conservative since the 1930s - CNNPolitics
Lets put it back on the fringe where it belongs, or so help me I am going to make VooDoo mainstream and start putting pins in Dolls.

Madman and Conservative Icon, Rush Limbaugh is dead!

 I'm old enough to remember when Rush was considered a fringe entertainment wingnut not taken seriously by virtually anyone in Government and only a source of information for people who had a problem with reality. 

I'm not going to say I never listened to him, I did and found his parodies funny but his attempt at anything factual and news related at a level of Stupid I could not relate to. He was however often all that was on when driving rural MT in the late 90s.
Most I know found his parodies entertaining but claimed otherwise for his information.
At some point he became a symbol of the voice on the right and a legitimate source of information for misguided millions.
I think this was mostly during the Obama years when scared whites terrified of a negro in charge looked for a bigot to comfort their fears, honestly its all I can come up with.
According to wikipedia he was born a silver spoon to a Lawyer Father and a family full of lawyers including a uncle appointed to Fed Status under W Bush. 
"According to his mother, "He Flunked everything, he just did not seem interested in anything but radio. Wikepedia.
^{That pretty much sums up what I thought about him, dumb as the day is long with a big mouth and a} dishonesty 

not known in anyone save those mentally defective or paid propogandists.

Day after day he spun half-truths and deliberately lied to the delight of millions. To make it worse his rhetoric was clearly seditious

as he had no problem lying with the apparent purpose of destroying the US government. 
 He lied about the Clintons, Trump, Climate Change, how our Government worked and everything in-between.
Be it just a delusional idiot or paid, he was dangerous to Americas peace and stability and symbolized everything that is 

wrong with America today.
He is a clear example how the right has lost its mind with a inability to touch on reality in any capacity.
We need to talk, a entire movement built around someone clearly mad is troubling and its getting worse.

The Poem we have all needed to hear; Amanda Gorman

 I won't lie, I am not much for poems being spoken, nor did I car for her verbal presentation, however reading it is flat out amazing. 
Thank you, young lady.

“The Hill We Climb” Amanda Gorman When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast, we’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace and the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it, somehow we do it, somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished. We, the successors of a country and a time where a skinny black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president only to find herself reciting for one. And, yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect, we are striving to forge a union with purpose, to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man. So we lift our gazes not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another, we seek harm to none and harmony for all. Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true: that even as we grieved, we grew, even as we hurt, we hoped, that even as we tired, we tried, that we’ll forever be tied together victorious, not because we will never again know defeat but because we will never again sow division. Scripture tells us to envision that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and no one should make them afraid. If we’re to live up to our own time, then victory won’t lie in the blade, but in in all of the bridges we’ve made. That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into and how we repair it. We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it. That would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy, and this effort very nearly succeeded. But while democracy can periodically be delayed, but it can never be permanently defeated. In this truth, in this faith, we trust, for while we have our eyes on the future, history has its eyes on us, this is the era of just redemption we feared in its inception we did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour but within it we found the power to author a new chapter, to offer hope and laughter to ourselves, so while once we asked how can we possibly prevail over catastrophe, now we assert how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us. We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be, a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free, we will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation, our blunders become their burden. But one thing is certain: if we merge mercy with might and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change our children’s birthright. So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left, with every breath from my bronze, pounded chest, we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one, we will rise from the golden hills of the West, we will rise from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution, we will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states, we will rise from the sunbaked South, we will rebuild, reconcile, and recover in every known nook of our nation in every corner called our country our people diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful, when the day comes we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it, for there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.

Inaugural poet Amanda Gorman delivers a poem at Joe Biden's inauguration - YouTube

With Lame Charges against the January Sixth Terrorists; Militia's now Control America, you should be terrified.

 It goes without saying that this has been building for years. 
From the Bundy Standoff it seemed to escalate as the Feds pretty much just let Armed Lunatics point firearms at Federal Agents and threaten to kill anyone, were allowed to go home. 
Light charges were filed here and there which of course did little. 
They would again Emerge in Oregon taking over a bird sanctuary resulting in a standoff where one would rightfully die when engaging with a FBI Agent. 
Of all things the Agent would be Charged and of course the Hammonds, who had nothing to do with the Standoff, for illegally burning government property while trying to cover up their Poaching. 
Real standup Citizens. 
Slaps on the wrists abounded and more community service for people to clean up cemeteries. 
Everyone laughed as we knew they were low IQ, however unlike the Negro who robbed a liqure store and faces years in Prison, little would happen to the white boys since their Illegal Cause somehow caught the hearts and minds of poorly  informed and thought out politicians. 

Fast forward to the Trump years with despicable sack of shit after despicable sack of shit, including the Hammonds being pardoned. 
Further Emboldened and realizing they faced no real ramifications, the nutbag movement intensified to taking over multiple State Court Houses with again, slaps on the wrist and minor charges thrown at them.

To make matters worse, throughout the last four years, hell before that, I have heard threat after threat of people wanting Democrats and anyone they did not like, executed. 
This should have been a given considering  Trump baselessly wanted Hillary "locked up" and made it a campaign slogan. If you did not realize it, Republicans spent six years Demonizing Hillary, not because she was guilty of Crimes, but because they knew who the Democrats darling would eventually be. 
If you are not smart enough to figure it out, she was not guilty of anything they claimed, don't get me wrong, her Emails pissed me off, it was careless, unethical and should have been the removal of her from her position, however as investigations, plural proved, they were not Illegal. 

Then came lockdowns and Sheriffs, misinformed by Radical Right Wing Media sources decided they did not need to follow Mandates and openly came out against other Elected Officials of more power in favor of a Mentally Deficient President and Radical Right Wing Media emulating Fascist Talking points from the 1920s-30s. 

So here we are, just three days after a Insurrection of Terrorists who wanted to take Congress Hostage to Install America's first Dictator who decided Elections. 

We all saw them lining up, we all knew it was coming and knew it would be a shitshow but hoped that the radical right wing shills in the Justice Department and Feds would Arrest the Ring Leaders and tame the beast before it started. 

The Head of the Proud Boys would be arrested, which is good but not enough as thousands, programmed to hate the institution that they have a say in, stood outside and screamed at their free Press and then some attacked the boys in blue they profess to love. 
Most stood up to the mob and did what they could with little to fight back with. 
Seemingly no Water Canons, no Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets apparently not being manufactured anymore, they woudl have nearly 60 of their own injured and one MURDERED by a insurgent intent on kidnapping Congress. 

It did not matter who was in the building, they wanted blood and they wanted those within the building to not be independent entities, but minions of their Chosen Leader, a leader who constantly makes policies that shits all over them. 
Maybe that's always the case, it seems to be. Perhaps their YouTube fame would be all they needed. 

Dozens have been arrested with charges that amount to community service in the long run being filed. 
Men who have no respect for America's institutions are proven right again as spineless prosecutors slap them on the wrist and tell them to go clean up a cemetery with "Time Served" 

The Armed Mobs are watching, smiling and licking their lips. 

They also saw all those paid to protect the American people simply stepping aside, one even taking a selfie with them. 

They know they enjoy broad support from a Military that apparently has never read the US Constitution or does not care. 

They know the Police will stand with them as Democrats have done their best to distance themselves from the people who otherwise would have protected them. 
Some will do their job, but it will go quickly. 

Now that brings to this post, on the 19th they have said they will come back. Trump will likely still be in office as our Inept Government is horribly divided and afraid to simply do their fucking job, Arrest Trump, His Son, Rudy and the Other Ring Leaders, instead they argue over nothing. 
For god sakes this is the one thing we all should agree on, why are we not?

At some point realizing they are now in control, you will see the Armed Militia's standing in the streets, extorting payments, deciding who lives and dies and generally being the thugs they are. 

I spent my entire life believing the good gun owners of this country would fight to stop Tyranny, I never dreamed in my wildest dreams they would be in large part  supporting this, and those who do not, simply doing nothing. 

Every Dictator has their armed militias do their bidding, now our own Second Amendment will bite us in the ass and cause great harm in the future. 

In the event it does not get as bad as I think it will, it still will never be the same. Officials across America have had their lives threatened and many quit their jobs over it. 

America is not a first world nation, is not safe and you all should be beyond terrified.
