Get Ready for the Ugliest October Surprise in American History as Republicans smear Tim Walz

You may have thought multiple bigoted white male Republicans calling Vice President Kamala Harris a
DEI candidate was the lowest point of the campaign.  Or making constant oral sex jokes was too tawdry and unbefitting the Republican Party. 

You may have thought claiming multiple times including during both television debates that Haitian migrants, here legally, were eating peoples' cats and dogs was the lowest most disreputable racist attack since the infamous Willie Horton ad.

You may have thought smearing Tim Walz with the claim of Stolen Valor, from the cowardly Republican Party comprised of Vietnam Era Chickenhawks and Global War on Terror Rear-Echelon Mother Fucker Warmongers was just about as dishonorable as anyone could get.

You may have thought desecrating Arlington National Cemetery and belittling Medal of Honor recipients was just about the most disgraceful act anyone wanting to be President could do.

Or you may have believed all those years Republicans pushed lies about the Hunter Biden Laptop, and the Biden crime Family lies, or claimed Russian agent Tara Reade was telling the truth about President Biden assaulting her were just politics. 

You may have believed Republicans couldn't get any uglier or more heinous in their pursuit of Power.  Well, you'd have been wrong.

All those years of #QAnon claims.  All those years of attacking Teachers.  All those years of claiming anyone who fights for or defends LGBTQ persons are secret pedophiles.  All those years of attacks have culminated in the ultimate Kill Shot.  Via Elon Muck's Swasitka ✠ Twitter, Republicans have released a claim that Tim Walz molested 3 young boys while he was a teacher.  The account leading this charge is the infamous troll "Black Insurrectionist", famous for lying about an ABC whistleblower.

You can look up the account and read his despicable lies if you'd like.  I won't link it.  Fortunately, there appear to be a major Twitter accounts FordNews and Agent Self FBI which have debunked and demonstrated the so-called Black Insurrectionist is lying and fabricating.  Additional, debunking has been done by Will Sommer, and on Reddit (of all places), and the young student Todd Almond, who the Walz's took to the Indigo Girls concert in 1995 who far from being a "victim" has written about his friendship with Tim and Gwen.  There's a lot speculation this was written by "Black Insurrectionist" himself and that he may be infamous Trump Troll Jacob Wohl but...

But, it doesn't matter how often the truth is demonstrated or how many times Republican lies are disproven.  Republicans have adopted pure subjectivity.  The goal isn't to have this end the Harris /Walz campaign it's another vile lie Republicans will use in their multi-pronged assault on the election.  Every avenue of attack is designed to peel a few voters away here and shave a few votes off there until its' close enough for this state or that Republican Governor to steal or get the whole thing into a morass requiring the Supremacist Court (or Republican controlled State Legislatures) to declare Trump the winner.

In Republicans eyes, everything is lined up perfectly.  Republicans know if they can steal this Election, they can Steal America.  Project 2025 will just be the start of the dismantling of the Untied States of America and its' replacement with a Fascist Fundamentalist Ethonstate built upon the twin pillars of White Power and perpetual corporate bondage.

Of course, Republicans would love if the Mainstream Media picked this up they way they always do with a Republican Propaganda Campaign.  But, even if the Media doesn't run with these vile allegations, the goal is to undermine the very concept of truth and lies.  And to ease the Nation into the grasp of Billionaires and Republicans Fascists, who once ensconced will never cede power and will usher in the Totalitarian Dream Republicans have sought for decades.

Mankind has been in this position before;  Hannah Ardent warned about the conclusion from what the last 50 years of Republican Agitprop and campaign to destroy truth, facts, honesty, expertise were designed to accomplish;

What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie—a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days—but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please."

Stealing My Valor - the incredible pettiness and shamelessness of Trump's Core Supporters

Clown to the Left of Me
My home is bracketed by two rich recently retired old white men and their dutiful wives.  Now, everyone on my block knows I'm a Police Officer without me telling them.  So, it came as a massive surprise to them when in 2016, I didn't support the racist rapist senile criminal traitor for the White House.

So, when I got my VoteVets for Harris/Walz sign for my front yard, they each responded with a Trump/Vance sign!  And since then every week they've added a new Trump sign and now each has 5 signs in his yard including the pictured Law Enforcement and Veterans for Trump signs.

Now, here's the thing neither of these two are law enforcement and neither are Veterans.  Yet they have no compunction in placing those signs in their yards.  I really want to troll them and get a Blacks for Trump sign and put it up next to theirs...  but, it's quite possible they might add that one themselves.
Joker to the Right

Of all the most pathetic displays of servile obsequiousness by Trump supporters, the flood of signage and flags festooning their mansions and massive $100K coal-rolling trucks has to be most pathetic. 

Remember, Trump's MAGA core strongest component are the well-to-do American Boyars.  These types comprised the core Jan6th supporters, like these two rich sons of the Northbrook based Kulas Maids, wearing their most chic Burberry attire to the riot. 

Veterans, of course, recognize Trump for what he is and voted against him in 2020.  Of course, Trump lies constantly and claims Veterans and active-duty Service Members support him.  Traitor Trump is a boorish asshole who's never cared about anyone other than himself and views every interaction in terms of how he can get the "best deal" for himself by whatever means it's been no surprise to see Trump repeatedly shit and spit on Veterans, their families, and military service members.  Trump also routinely exploits peoples' grief and trauma, as seen in his despicable desecration of Arlington National Cemetery and the rampant lies and falsehoods he's sowing around FEMA and the Hurricane relief. 

Now, Cops are a different matter entirely.  I'm probably one of the furthest left Officers I've ever encountered in almost 20 years and I've encountered some outright fascist wannabes.  And of course there's segment of "Law Enforcement" who yearn to be unleashed in the same way MAGA fantasizes about getting Trump in the White House so they can visit all manners of evils on the people.

And that's the entire key to Trump's charisma and his cult;  Trump says all manner of evil lies as a way to give his most hateful the permission structure they are going to need to do the evil things they want to do.

But, one of the reasons I don't believe there will be any large scale uprising; despite the dreams of paid Putin operative Tim Poole, is what would these two old turds would be willing to do?  Certainly, in this age of rightwing stochastic terrorism you can never guess when one registered Republican will conduct a terrorist attack on America but, battalion-sized or higher concentrations of conservative traitors?  Led by that coward Josh Hawley in Missouri?  Or Tom Cotton?  Or even Mike Flynn at his traitorous compound in Sarasota, Florida?  I'm doubtful.

Tom Filipkowski points out what a sham all these 'This or That Group for Trump' stunts are:

Suddenly, the Corporate Media doesn't care about: Age of the Candidate, Hacked Emails, or the Economy

In MAGA America, Putin kills You 
or the drop in Immigration...

or the drop in fentanyl-related overdoses...

or any of the things the Corporate Media claimed were the most important issues facing the President and going to be the most important issue facing the American people in the voting booth.

Opioid-related overdose deaths have been rising as for decades, especially once dastardly pharmaceutical companies and drug pushing families got hold of political influence in marketing oxycontin to rural America.

Only the rise in gun violence related deaths (especially amongst children) have kept pace. Yet, for the first time since the National Institute for Health began tracking overdose deaths dropped in 2023.   This was overseen by President Biden and Vice President Harris so the perfidious Corporate Media won't cover it because they are spitting mad at Kamala Harris for correctly spurning their odious "reporting" and going onto alternative media channels, like Howard Stern, Call Her Daddy podcast, or The View.

'Why this is Bad News for President Harris' 

Additionally, The Dow Jones has broken records and is over 40,000.  Now, the universal caveat by thoughtful and working class people is the Stock Market isn't the economy and thus is not an indicator of the health of the financial Nation.  But, that has never, ever been the standard adopted by the Corporate Media who trumpeted every Republican false proclamation of how great the economy is under Republicans and regurgitated every Republican lie about how bad the economy is under a Democratic administration.  If this was the economy under Trump the race for President would be declared over.  Of course, other economic indicators and metrics, such as job growth and inflation, also highlight how good the Biden/Harris administration is and has been for the Nation, yet the Corporate Media not only doesn't report this it reports that the economy is terrible. 

But, the things that most illustrate how much in the bag the fucking grotesque media is for their Beloved Leader Trump is the Age and Hacked Emails scandals.

Trump has dissolved into syphilitic senility and increasingly is a rambling incoherent sloppy mess during his fascist rallies yet, the Corporate Media has yet to call for him to step aside, nor spent half their reporting day talking about how old and unfit racist traitor Trump is for office.  But, as of July 21st 2024, the age of the candidate for Presidency no longer became an issue and any verbal mistakes or cognitive errors or ridiculous statements became unimportant.

Similarly, the Corporate Media now no longer cares about hacked emails.  Of course, the political press claims they've decided for the good of the Nation they must not, they can not produce these emails that were so unlawfully purloined!!!  What's amazing is the FTFNYT spent months promoting every single Hillary Clinton related email released and put the issue on the front page daily as the election neared.  But, now Elon Muck and his Nazi Twitter are working in coordination with the Trump campaign to suspend anyone who releases the Trump emails.  This would seem to be the biggest scandal in Political interference with Freedom of the Press and the 1st Amendment yet the Corporate Media is always willing to produce a minor news story and move on when it affects Trump.

Let's also not overlook how little coverage the rightwing liars who claimed to have definitive proof of a stolen 2020 election has received;  even as those Trump loving liars flee to Dubai to avoid court depositions, or face fines from Judges for claiming to have all sorts of evidence and eyewitnesses to the 2020 election, or go to jail for committing Election Fraud themselves by giving data to other Trump loving liars.  These would all seem to be very important and pertinent News Stories as we are about to reach Election Day in 2024.  Yet, 

So, look we can not place any trust in the Corporate Media.  Joe Biden saw this while he was Vice President under Barack Obama as the Media continually pushed Republican lies, acted as though the Tea Party was a 3rd political party in America, gave undo focus to bad faith disingenuous rightwing complaints.  Now, Vice President Kamala Harris has seen first-hand how the Media turned on President Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and decided to punish him non-stop for the next 3 years by promoting Republican lies.

The Republicans spent the last 50 years "working the refs" and brow-beating the Media into always framing every issue from the Republican perspective.  We can address this after we defeat the Fascists in 2024.  Maybe... But, better than that we should continue to freeze out the courtier class of Washington political pundits who have conferred upon themselves unearned titles and go onto these alternate media outlets that are more in line with the Millennial and Zoomer tastes.

So, keep helping Kamala Harris Get Out the Vote and get ready for Republicans to attempt to overthrow the Nation when Harris and Walz win this election in a blowout.

The perfidious Corporate Media, treasonous Republicans, and Billionaire Morlocks have a Dream of destroying and consuming America

If you want a picture of the future, imagine these
"human" faces stamping on you - forever.
In H.G. Wells,  Time Machine (1895) humanity diverges into two; the above ground Eloi and below ground Morlocks, who husband the Eloi like cattle.  Republicans and their Billionaire backers are already Morlocks and have already passed laws to enslave Americans in numerous states and are more than willing to sacrifice Us and even their own followers, as they seek to achieve the Ultimate Goal of the Republican Party:  The Complete Destruction of the United States of America.

When Covid denialism and anti-vaxx lies took hold in America and Republicans were more than willing to die and were happy to let their so-called loved ones die alone in hospital beds hooked up to ventilators in fear and terror as their bodies failed I was saddened we'd reached the point were MAGA Cultists were willing to die rather than believe experts, reality, and truth.  We've now reached the point when Republicans cultists are eager and ready to kill Us to deny reality and replace it with their own feelings of hatred and anger.

The Republican response to their recalcitrant denialism and blatant disregard towards the Climate Crisis is playing out exactly as you expect;  Republicans are blaming Democrats, scapegoating Immigrants, and declining to properly ascribe the causes of the devastating hurricanes to climate change.  And it's only going to get worse and more monstrous as the effects continue to batter the Nation.  And once insurance markets collapse, Billionaires have safely rendered their ill-gotten assets from being touched, and Republicans continue to loosen regulations and allow direct pollution and indirect pollution to poison the planet they will simply shrug and tell people, 'Too bad'.  

Republicans and Billionaires absolutely want to destroy the American Dream and crush working Americans into Penury and Servitude.  Now, Republicans used to not admit this but, over and over and over Republicans and their Billionaire backers talk wistfully about slashing the Social Safety Net and eliminating Obamacare, even while Just Dishonorable Vance credits traitor Trump with saving Obamacare and getting his dear Ole MeeMaw healthcare coverage.

Thom Hartmann, one of the best and longest standing left media commentators to accurately describe the rapacious Republican Party, lays out exactly what the Republican American Dream is:

When Republicans — particularly billionaires and multimillionaires like Trump and Vance — invoke the American Dream, they largely ignore the middle class. Instead, that phrase to them means the ability to:
— Get rich beyond the dreams of King Midas 
— Own multiple mansions from Florida to Colorado to Switzerland (and Trump added Venezuela on his Monday night call with Musk)  
— Cavort with nubile young women and investment bankers on your very own superyacht or Lolita Express private jet  
— Have private concierge doctors and nurses on call at all times  
— Employ private security to guard your mansions and wield weapons of war to keep them safe from the masses 
— Buy judges for the Supreme Court to get decisions that make your life easier  
— Legally bribe judges and politicians at every level from the county commissioners to Congress and the president, and 
— Avoid paying taxes so successfully that the average American billionaire today pays less than 8 percent in income taxes.

Billionaires want to set themselves up as an American Nobility but, primarily they want Republicans to impoverish you and leave you starving, because the starving hungry man will do as he is told. The starving family will take all work offered with very little pushback or complaint.  The desperate are pliable to the whims and dictates of the 1%.

Republicans want you poor, starving and desperate because then they can enslave you.  And Billionaires believe they have acquired enough wealthy, status, and power to insulate themselves from anyone who might try and rise up against them; while also being assured that MAGA conservatives would relish an opportunity to engage in an euphemistic "One Rough Hour" against their perceived enemies.

Trump = Make America Nazi Germany Again
But, yet again the Corporate Media is loathe to call out Trump's Straight Nazi Rhetoric.  The way the Corporate Media framed traitor Trump's eugenicist call for a Final Solution for Immigrants in America is nothing less than a shocking dereliction of duty and a clear reminder the Media's goal is to help their Beloved Trump back into the White House.

Meanwhile, Trump is broadcasting vile non-stop lies about Hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina and, the Corporate Media is tentatively waiting to see if the rightwing propaganda about Hurricanes gets purchase so they can help Republicans spread their lies and win elections... like they always do. 

This is the last month before Election Day; do everything you can, send post-cards, phone bank, knock on doors, talk to friends and family and GOTV because the Morlocks are waiting and they won't be satisfied or satiated by rounding up and liquidating migrants, they want to destroy millions, and return America to the Greatness of the Colonial Era when rich white men owned everything and the majority of the people in these United States were little more than chattel.

Trump, Vance, and the Republicans fascist ugliness and vile non-stop lies on full display in Wisconsin, Florida, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina

FEAR & ANGER
Fear & Anger...

Fear & Anger...

Fear & Anger...

All day every minute of every day all through out his senile incoherent rallies and broadcast directly via Elon Muck's Nazi Twitter and Faux News.

This is it.  We've passed the Event Horizon.  We've Crossed the Rubicon.  We've reached the tipping point.  Whatever euphemism you want to employ understand Trump and his willing co-conspirators are priming their brain-washed rightwing drones for violence.

Non-stop lies about Haitian Immigrants, non-stop lies about FEMA, non-stop lies about voting fraud, non-stop lies about Obamacare, non-stop lies about abortion, non-stop lies about the economy, non-stop lies, non-stop lies, non-stop lies...

Fact check: Six days of Trump lies about the Hurricane Helene response

—  Former President Donald Trump has delivered a barrage of lies and distortions about the federal response to Hurricane Helene.

While various misinformation about the response has spread widely without Trump’s involvement, the Republican presidential nominee has been one of the country’s leading deceivers on the subject. Over a span of six days, in public comments and social media posts, Trump has used his powerful megaphone to endorse or invent false or unsubstantiated claims.

The chief targets of his hurricane-related dishonesty have been Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent in the November presidential election, and President Joe Biden. 

It's not just Trump.  It's the entire Republican Party.

But, as Florida faces a now Category 5 Hurricane in Milton, Ron DeSantis continues to play dumb and petulant political games so Republican liars can continue to falsely claim President Biden (and therefore Vice President Harris) is not giving the aid to Republican States.  "We had this planned,"  DeSantis said of his effort to snub the President and Vice President in order to convince his base of Republicans that Biden had given all their money to Migrants and FEMA wasn't helping them.  “We’ve got to stop politicizing the weather and stop politicizing natural disasters,” DeSantis said last year.  Just don't say Climate Change or Little Goblin DeSantis will have you arrested by his Governor's Speech Police...

Deliberate Internal Subversion  
of a Government demonstrates 
MAGA are Domestic Terrorists
And the Republicans living in those States?  Well Trump, Vance, elected Republicans in Congress, and even rightwingers in other States DON'T GIVE A SHIT about them.

Deliberate misinformation, a callous disregard for peoples' lives, and incessant demonization of the Other are the hallmarks of the Fascist Republican Party.

Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania Republicans have been sending via the USPS letters telling people they have been selected to house and feed migrants under a Biden/Harris Plan.

"Congratulations," the fake letter stated, "you have been selected as a Wayward Steward exchange home for homeless immigrants and victims of foreign wars."  The letter was sent to Elizabeth Bennett from the"Pennsylvania Congressional Office of Immigration Affairs," which does not exist. Bennett was supposedly selected based on “property and income records” for a migrant housing program as part of  “US5Ca12-B,” a law implemented by the Biden administration, the letter asserted. No such law exists.

There's more deliberate lies and bullshit sent via Elon Muck's Nazi Twitter from Matt Gaetz, from Marco Rubio, from Squeaker of the House Mike Johnson.  It's a non-stop barrage with a specific goal.

Don't expect the Corporate Media to accurately call out the Republican non-stop lies for what they are; a deliberate campaign to destroy the Nation.  The Corporate Media's job is to massage and temper the Republican propaganda making their perfidy palatable to the Normie public.  

There is no point in trying to refute these lies about only getting $750, and the rest was stolen by Biden for illegal immigrants, and FEMA isn't helping or no where to be seen in rural North Carolina, or any of the millions of lies being spread throughout the Republican/Rightwing media universe in a reasoned manner.  These people are part of or lost to the Republican Agitprop Machine, they have no intention of being reasoned with or being convinced, they exist solely to be angry or afraid;  and those qualities can quickly be turned towards Violence.  The threat of Violence is what Republicans have been using to maintain their political cohesion.

We have to defeat these vile monsters and render the Republican Party politically inviolable.  I don't think we can, I think Republicans have such an unshakable hold and built-in political floor merely by flying that Scarlet R behind their names that they can run with outrageous lies and fact-free untruths and know, know with an absolute certainty that it will not be held against them and rightwingers will support their lies because they are lying.  The Nation can not remain half MAGA and half Free.  We, the People are being called upon again to defeat the Vile Monsters of Fascism coming from the entire Republican Party; a threat to the Nation, to our way of life, and to millions of people.

Additional:

Trump and Vance's Project 2025 guts FEMA by the way and just this September in the Congressional appropriations bill, Republicans voted overwhelmingly to NOT fund FEMA secure in the knowledge that not only would they not receive any blowback from their voters but that those Republicans would voicefously defend them and spread rightwing lies

Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 45: A (True) False Report of Rape in Morton Grove

One of the persistent beliefs by men in general and male Police Officers specifically is that most rape accusations are false.

You see this especially in this MAGA era as a way to defend senile rapist traitor Trump who is guilty of sexual assault but nonetheless finds his 70 million supporters absolutely discounting it.

One of the worst things that can ever happen is a false allegation of rape because it allows bigoted and shameless police officers to then claim all rape accusations are lies.

The National Institute of Health in 2010 released a 10 year study of 136 cases which the abstract concluded the following;

Of the 136 cases of sexual assault reported over the 10-year period, 8 (5.9%) are coded as false allegations. These results, taken in the context of an examination of previous research, indicate that the prevalence of false allegations is between 2% and 10%.

Now, let's be very, very clear.  I have pity for this woman because she is obviously suffering from some mental illness which led her to try and gain attention by concocting this absurd daytime abduction from a Metra train station story.

But...  let us also not lose sight of the false details she crafted for her attackers.  Spanish speakers in a stolen Escalade and "This used to be a safe neighborhood."

This lie is tailor made to fit into the Migrant Crime Wave lie being pushed Trump & Vance.

Since this initial claim by Bankhead she has been charged with a Disorderly Conduct for filing a false police report.  Now, whether or not she committed a crime the question of using the criminal courts to treat a woman most likely suffering some kind of mental distress.

Now, this story is not going to get 1/100th the coverage of the Jussie Smollet story, and if any rightwingers do reference it what they will say is it absolutely justifies their prior beliefs that bitches be crazy and all women lie about Rape. 

While the Illinois legislature mandated all Police Officers in the State undergo Sexual Assault Trauma Informed Responder training every 3 years, back in 2017.  There are still enough troglodytes and biased Officers who will dismiss and do everything they can to undermine a victim when she comes in to report.

The book A False Report:  A True Story of Rape in America should be required reading for every police officer.  As it highlights how Officers once they've formed an initial impression don't care to change it and will actively work to prove it even against evidence to the contrary.  It also highlights how rape victims are treated as suspects as soon as they come in to make a report and at the time were forced to relive their traumatic incident over and over again while the Officers and Detectives looked for any minor discrepancy to discredit her.

So, I don't know where Lacie Bankhead is but, I hope she can try to recover from this and I'm thankful no innocent people were taken into custody or worse after her false allegation.





Creepy Republicans, like Bernie Moreno and Katie Britt, hate Women and J.D. Vance plans to set up a Federal Menstruation Police Force

SMILE!
I'm your Menstruation Protector
 Everyday Republicans broadcast their intention to literally enslave women across America.

Jason Miller, former Trump inner circle member and best known for cheating on his wife and feeding his girlfriend a cocktail to induce an abortion admitted, under Trump States will be able to create and maintain a database of women’s periods and monitor their cycles, and using this data that so-called Law Enforcement will obtain sluts who get abortions will prosecuted.

Republicans hate America.  Republicans really hate women.  And Republicans hate you, whomever you are, unless you help advance their Fascist Agenda.  And the start of the Republican Agenda to destroy the United States begins with policing women's bodies.

Breathy baby voice Katie Britt, whom America came to know and loathe, after her weird creepy SOTU response this year, also wrote a Bill to create a Federal Database of Companies who assist women in receiving  healthcare (including abortions if necessary) thus barring them from receiving Federal Funds.  This bill would also track and catalog women's menstrual cycles so the Republicans can be sure know everything that woman is doing and arrest her if necessary.


Britt follows a long tradition of Republican Women whom the Party and their Plutocratic Overlords push forth as exemplars which they tell women both implicitly and explicitly to experience their liberation vicariously through them.  This is a 50 year old technique going back to the odious harridan Phyliss Schlflay who told women to stay home cook, clean, and make babies as she rubbed elbows and influenced rich men in Government and Business.

Since, then Republicans have focused their efforts on being big Daddy to white women.  Republican Bernie Moreno running for Senate in Ohio keeps telling older women don't worry vote Republicans we'll not be going after you (or your precious innocent daughter) just after the sluts,

"You don’t get pregnant because you were at the checkout line at Kroger.  It doesn’t happen that way. That’s at least what my mom and dad told me. So, you do have to take personal responsibility. Abortion is a heinous crime. It is certainly not health care. It is certainly not birth control. But yet here we are doing it."

Bernie Moreno also feels supremely comfortable man-splaining to White Women they are voting the wrong way just because Democrats promise them they can get an abortion,

“Sadly, by the way, there’s a lot of suburban women, a lot of suburban women that are like, ‘Listen, abortion is it. If I can’t have an abortion in this country whenever I want, I will vote for anybody else.’ … OK. It’s a little crazy by the way, but — especially for women that are like past 50 — I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.'”

Get it together "suburban" women!  After all Bernie Moreno will only punish the young sluts, you shriveled up old hags can have as much sex as you want!  Republicans can't advance their agenda of oppression and perpetual corporate bondage without your support!  Now, look, white men especially blue collar white men are a lost cause.  They've been hammered with 50 years of Republican lies, grievances, and propaganda and now receive it on full blast every single minute of every single day.  Despite documented evidence Democratic policies aid the vaunted white working class man far more than anything any Republican has every done, white men continue to vote Republican. 

But... white women are a quandary...  Republicans have enjoyed substantial support for white women for decades, including grotesque rapist senile scumbag traitor Trump.  So, they've gotten comfortable in taking white women's support for granted.  And since Republicans are comfortable bossing around women, they also feel righteous empowered to tell White Women they are behaving improperly but not voting straight Republican

J.D. Vance is a despicable shameless liar and disgrace to the Marine Corps values, he's also a Catholic convert and as such has the zealous fervor of the falsely pious.  He's not going let white women forget their duty is to produce numerous white babies 

"American families aren't having enough children. I think there's evidence that some of the things that we're doing to parents is driving down the number of children that American families are having," Vance said.

Vance is "skeptical" women should be 
able to leave "unhappy or even violent 
marriages"Just lay back and enjoy it.

That statement is of course a variation on the Great Replacement Theory Neo-Nazis like Tucker Carlson have promulgated.  But, everything that comes out of Vance's mouth is another slander and insult of women

“In particular, there's evidence that the car seat rules that we've imposed, which of course I want kids to drive in car seats, have driven down the number of babies born in this country by over 100,000. So as we think about how to make kids safe here, I think we should do it in a way that's accommodating to American families."

Car seats (and vaccines), you see, allowed Americans i.e. middle class whites to stick to having only 2 kids because they we confident those children would make adulthood as opposed to previous generations who could expect to lose 1-2 or more during childhood.
 
There is probably something about this MAGA belief in the greatness of earlier America which plays into Republicans callous insanity about gun laws and school children being sacrificed on their Holey Altar of the Second Amendment.

Vance apparently yearns for the time when, women had no options and were kept in a perpetual cycle of pregnancy and childbirth.  This Sexual Slavery is, of course, exactly what the Republican Party wants, is currently attempting to do via the Supremacist Court and repeated laws Republicans pass to restrict women's rights and shackle them into violent and loveless marriages.

Look, Republicans have overplayed their hands and despite senile traitor Trump's repeated lies everyone wanted Abortion back in the States, no one wanted it "back in the States" except, bad faith Republicans who have been using the slice the salami method of undermining laws (aka the John Roberts Method).  Republicans didn't want a big sweeping roll-back of Abortion because women would be very aware of their rights, freedom, and bodily autonomy being taken away.  

Now, complicating this is that most men are horrendous misogynists (including those who have been considered strong Democratic voters) so appealing to American men's hatred of women is not a sure-fire losing proposition for Trump, Vance and other Republicans.

The question is whether white women will lay back and do their duty for Trump yet again.  Many vile white men are going to be surprised to find out their wives didn't vote for Trump hopefully these men.  Hopefully they never find out because Republican men are yearning to be unleashed to mete out violence on those they hate; and being denied that those Republican men will quickly turn their violence on those at their homes, as they often do.

Same-Washing towards Fascism: Let’s talk about the Weather (which we control)

Reality cannot be ignored except at a price; and the longer the ignorance is persisted in, the higher and more terrible becomes the price that must be paid. - Aldous Huxley
I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather


 Major Traitor Greene must be feeling forgotten lately what with Trump boinking Lara Loomer.  Apparently feeling that the devastation and death from Hurricane Helene don't really matter, Greene broke out a variation of her infamous Jewish Space Lasers claim by claiming Democrats control the weather...  But, not to be undone, as North Carolina and other southern states face the monumental clean-up, traitor Trump is running with a monstrous lie claiming President Biden and future President Harris stole the FEMA funds and gave it to illegal immigrants.

There is no bottom to Trump's evil lies and vicious slanders.  There is no bottom to Republicans denial of reality.  President Biden is right to warn America that while the elections will be free and fair, they won't be peaceful.  Traitor Trump and Just Dishonorable Vance are going to continue to spew forth racist xenophobic non-stop Nazi rhetoric demonizing whole swaths of people.  Senile Trump has no compunctions of telling any terrible lies and saying anything thinks will give him a little more 

Apparently the boomers infesting facebook are spreading multiple fake AI images of traitor Trump helping out in the flood zones.  Trump's "help" to hurricane victims consisted entirely of him shooting paper towel rolls to people in Puerto Rico.

We are rapidly approaching a dangerous inflection point.  Republicans in America no longer accept reality;  this has played out in deadly ways with deaths and destruction increasing ever year from climate change, or the daily toll of gun violence which Vance and Trump shrug and say "well these things happen" and "you gotta get over it".  Come this November when Kamala Harris and Tim Walz win a decisive and overwhelming victory reality is going to smack Republicans.  In response, Republicans are going to unleash violence, the question is how high and how terrible will be the price We, the People pay for Republican Ignorance.

Sane-Washing towards Fascism: Traitor Trump continues to shit all over wounded Veterans

 It's a non-stop fact that Trump loves to insult Veterans and loves to dismiss and diminish the sacrifices they've made for the United States.

I've written many times on why this is;  Trump is a cruelly transactional thief who views everything in the lens what he's getting for himself and what he's getting over you.

I vainly thought that Trump shitting all over Medal of Honor recipients would be enough for the corporate media to call him the shameless gutless worm he is. 

I naively thought when Trump was grinning his rictus grin while stomping all over Arlington National Cemetery giving the thumbs up over the graves of men and women far braver than he, the corporate media might have said enough is enough.

I stupidly thought when Trump was gleefully using the grief of families who've lost loved ones in the phony Republican War on Terror the corporate media might remind America how Trump callously dismissed the families of the US Special Forces whom he sent into Niger without a plan, without a QRF, with no hope and then shrugged and told the families this is what they signed up for...

So, now that Iran has apparently hacked his campaign and maybe issued a fatwa against him, Trump and his cabal of treasonous surrogates have no shame and no compunction in blaming it all on soon-to-be President Kamala Harris. 

As War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu continues to escalate violence and tension in the Middle East, hoping to provoke a major conflict and force President Biden and the U.S. military to intervene and invade Iran the same way Netanyahu lied and coaxed George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to invade Iraq, I figured the corporate meida might point out how Trump cruelly dismissed the injured Soldiers who were bombarded while he was in Office after Trump wanted to show what a big strong man he was by blowing up an Iranian General.  

And then... and then Trump merely did it again.

Look at him smirk and shake his head as he downplays soldiers injuries.  Then he goes into his canned answer of the bombs never hit the "fort"...

“What does ‘injured’ mean?” he said. “You mean because they had a headache? Because the bombs never hit the fort... None of those very accurate missiles hit our fort. They all hit outside. There was nobody hurt, other than the sound was loud."

There was nobody hurt...  unlike like say Trump and his scratched ear from a small shard of glass...  

Even his innovation of "fort" is so disrespectful as if these men deployed in Iraq where hiding in a fort of couch-cushions like Just Dishonorable Vance...  At this point, as we saw at Arlington, there is nothing traitor Trump can do to alienate his rabid cult who yearn to get him into Office so that they might unleash their inner violent terrorism and murder millions of people here.  But, alas the Corporate Media also openly desires another Trump Presidency so they will never stop Sane-Washing him.

Sane-Washing towards Fascism: the slick smooth lies of J.D. Vance and the Plot to steal the 2024 Election

The corporate media continues their policy of purposefully misunderstanding what Trump (and Vance) represent because it would mean their entire existence and careers as courtiers and stenographers.

I'll never forget (or forgive) the Media for hemming and hawing after it was clear Biden/Harris won the election by not calling it that night or early on November 7th, instead they played footsie with Trump and his claims of victory and didn't want to upset their Republican contacts.

Do you recall on November 10th the Washington Post running this insane quote from an anonymous Republican in DC,

“What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” the official said. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20." 

Given the latitude to claim he won in 2020 then allowed traitor Trump the 4 years he and his criminal co-conspirators needed to set themselves up to steal the 2024 Election; which is fully underway now.  The Republican Party is a fully fascist organization now dedicated to destroying the United States of America and installing an Evangelical EthnoState built upon the pillars of white supremacy and corporate hegemony.

Now, Ross Douthat isn't "the" corporate media but he's been writing for the FNYT for almost 15 years.  And everything he writes is under the rubric of "this is good news for the Republicans and bad news for Democrats".

But, the corporate media was ready to award Vance the Debate Crown before the debate and declared it official the first time Tim Walz stumbled during an answer.

Vance then simply and slickly repeated the memorized 3x5 note card answers blaming Vice President Harris for everything and crediting senile traitor Trump for everything which meant he "won" the Vice Presidential Debate.

Vance claimed housing would be cheaper with seizing federal lands and drilling for oil.  Fortunately, soon-to-be Vice President Walz asked him if that meant drilling and building on the same plots of land.  But, more ominously it demonstrates just how captured Vance (and the Republican Party) are towards the Fossil Fuel Industry.  Vance had the gall to claim Chinese Made solar panels are dirtier than Coal!!!  That's shades of Racist Rush Limbaugh claiming Priuses caused more pollution than the odious H2 Hummers and coal-rollin' diesel pickups.  And, of course, was a dishonest lie because 80% of the solar panels are made in the United States.

The most brazen lie was Just Dishonorable Vance crediting Trump with getting his MeeMaw private healthcare coverage and then having the temerity to praise Trump for "saving" Obamacare.  But, since Vance had pouted earlier, "You guys aren't supposed to fact-check me!!!" like a 7 year old caught by the teacher, no one pointed out that Trump's DayOne Agenda was eliminating Obamacare which Republicans had spent the last decade voting to repeal.

The most reprehensible moment was Vance being unable to answer the question of who won the 2020 election.  Now, unsurprisingly, the question didn't originate with the moderators just as no one in the Corporate Media has ever put Trump on the spot and asked him directly who won the 2020 election.  But, then Republicans throughout the Federal Government and party members at all levels have all evaded, elided, and generally avoided answering the question whenever it's brought up and since the media isn't interested in Democracy it rarely comes up from them anymore.  And those out-and-proud Fascists in the Republican Party when asked who won the 2020 election openly declare it was Trump.

But, the Debate is already old news and the lies Vance told are already mostly forgotten; so, the corporate media can go back to coddling the Rough Beast as they sane-wash us towards Fascism.

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, 
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

If Voting changed anything they'd make it illegal... The Epic Ratfucking of RFK Jr and the Wausau Ballot Box Bandit Doug Diny

“My position is that this city
does not need [a ballot box].”
RatFucKer Jr

Everyone knows RFK Jr entered the 2024 Election with aspirations of draining enough votes away from Joe Biden to allow traitor Trump and his treasonous cabal of criminals a chance to steal various battleground states.  However, once President Biden placed the fate of the country over his own Presidency, RFK Jr knew he'd take almost exactly ZERO votes away from Harris and Walz and would be a drain on his partner in crime Donald Trump.  So, RFK Jr suspended his campaign and signed on directly with traitor Trump.

So, some of the details of Trump/Kennedy efforts to cause chaos in Wisconsin Presidential have come out during Kennedy quixotic Will He/Won't He Presidential Campaign.

As you are know doubt aware, RFK Jr wants to stay on ballots in States where he will not harm Trump's voter totals and be removed from ballots were he might siphon votes away from Trump.

So, in Wisconsin, which Trump has aspirations of stealing, RFK Jr now demands that his name be taken off the ballot.  In North Carolina, RFK Jr made this argument which delayed sending out of mail-in ballots but, in Wisconsin ballots are already out RFK Jr wants election officials to put a "sticker" over his name on the ballot,

He is currently urging the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take his name off the ballot in the state, rehashing the arguments that secured him a victory at the North Carolina Supreme Court earlier this month. Wisconsin officials, who have already printed ballots and begun mailing them out, say it is far too late to remove Kennedy’s name. But the candidate has proposed a work-around: He argues that county clerks should be required to cut out and place a sticker over his name on each ballot—all 4 million of them.

The sticker solution is, it turns out, no solution at all, but rather the recipe for a logistical nightmare. Election officials have testified that this scheme threatens to derail the preparation and tabulation of ballots. On the front end, it would require an immense amount of additional work for county clerks, many of whom serve in the role in a part-time capacity, and none of whom has the budget for such extra labor. It would lead to voter confusion, especially since clerks would inevitably place some stickers a few centimeters off by accident, failing to fully occlude Kennedy’s name and accidentally blocking out another. And it would halt the mailing of absentee ballots abruptly and indefinitely, even though they are already going out to voters.

Perhaps most ominously, Wisconsin officials warn that RFK Jr.’s proposed fix would also subvert the counting of votes. Multiple clerks have attested that stickers would weigh down ballots, causing tabulators—which are calibrated to the ballot’s precise weight—to reject them.

Brain Worms and Ratfuckers
RFK Jr and his legal team led by Jed Rubenfeld, wanted to jam the voting machines and throw the Wisconsin election into disarray.

Jed Rubenfeld, you will recall is a sexual criminal and husband of Amy Chua.  Chua, of course, groomed J.D. Vance at Yale and guided him up to his role as potential Vice President which the expectation senile creepy weirdo Trump will die in office. 

I've pointed out that Republicans are engaged in multi-state, multi-method effort at Stealing the Election for Donald Trump.  The architects of The Republican Plot Against America this time aren't relying on any Release the Kraken after the fact attempt to defraud the American people, nor are they pinning their hopes to the Hail Mary of Jan6th when Trump and his cadre of criminal co-conspirators attempted to overthrow the United States Government.  No, they've spent the last 4 years figuring out which buttons to press and which levers to pull and where they can apply pressure and how much pressure they can apply.  That's why in Republican occupied states, like Oklahoma or Texas, Republicans simply remove voters from the voting rolls.  While in Georgia, because the Governor and Secretary of State couldn't be counted on by the Trump team to simply steal the election, Republicans installed an unelected trio of thieves to help delay Harris victory there.

Meanwhile, minor villains like Wausau Mayor Doug Diny Dingleberry are more than willing to engage in petty acts of sabotage because they Have a Dream, a dream to overthrow and change the United States into a dystopian fascist hellscape of murder, subjugation, and white power.  As Diny referenced in his defiant statement justifying him disenfranchising Wisconsinites, Change has its' Enemies.

If Voting changed anything they'd make it Illegal... Republicans from Wausau, WI to every state in the US declare, That's a Great Idea!

Wausau Mayor Doug Diny Dingleberry

Wausau, Wisconsin Mayor Doug Diny is facing scrutiny after video surveillance footage showed him carting the city’s outdoor ballot drop box inside on Sunday while sporting a Department of Public Works jacket and hard hat.

Diny on Tuesday admitted he moved the drop box to his office on Sept. 22 and “took a few photos to memorialize the action.” Initially, he said the box “was relocated to a safe indoor location until certain issues that the clerk is aware of are addressed.” He also provided a photo.

You will be utterly unsurprised that Mayor Doug Diny Dingleberry is a hardcore rightwing psycho who hates the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision granting people the right to vote and will simply deny it via performative disenfranchisement;
On July 5 the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that municipal clerks do, in fact, have the authority to establish secure drop boxes for absentee ballots in their district. Wausau Clerk Kaitlyn Bernarde made that decision, which Diny took exception to.
Like all Republicans, the Wausau Mayor seeks to suppress, interrupt, deny the franchise to as many people as possible because when the people vote, Republicans lose.  Of course, Diny photographed his LOL publicity stunt because he believes he's untouchable by laws and declared, 
"This action is consistent with my overall position and what I heard from residents when I was knocking on doors.”
Diny is a special kind of rightwing asshole who ran on a platform of blaming the previous Mayor Katie Rosenberg for a water rate price increase after Rosenberg cleaned up the cities wells of PFAS.  Diny Dingleberry won 5222-4798.

While everyone knows that Boomers fell prey to the vile lying propaganda of Racist Limbaugh, then Faux News, moving onto Facebook memes, to eventually just swallowing Russian agitprop wholly;  Generation X failed their own critical thinking skills test and then willingly fell for the cynicism of being too cool to care about politics, which was specifically peddled to them.

Thus, GenX ignored their nascent political power in the 1990s, fell for the jingoistic GWoT of the 2000s, and now we’re smaller than the Millennials and Zoomers and less committed than the rabidly rightwing dwindling Boomers 

Having grown up under Ronnie Rayguns Department of unEducation,  GenX lacks critical thinking skills in the face of non-stop barrage of rightwing propaganda and unfortunately, having grown up under repeated Republican economic failures and Plutocratic tyranny from the Newt Gingrich's Contract on America, the financial and housing economic failures of George W Bush to the Tax Raises and ruinous Tariffs of traitor Tump we also don’t have the comfort and assured finances of the Boomers and so we want to blame the immigrants.

Now, Republicans continually wreck the economy and Democratic Presidents Clinton, Obama, and Biden fix the Republican failures and sabotage.  

You know about the extra-legal powers the 3 Republican members of the Georgia Board of Elections granted themselves to slow down the certification process.

But, several other Republican occupied States have engaged in their own Voter suppression tactics as we are less than 6 weeks from the 2024 Presidential Election.  Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahom have engaged in Voter Purges removing millions of viable voters under their you didn't reply to my latest email scam.

It's really one of the things which shows how false and fake our Democracy is when North Carolina can remove 747,000 voters because the Board of Electors determines their voting status is "inactive"

In Nebraska, Republicans sought to ensure the 1 Electoral Vote of the Omaha Congressional District didn't go to Kamala Harris by having the Nebraska Congress adopt a last minute change.  Prime Trump suck-up Lindsey Graham flew out from South Carolina to try and persuade the change.

In Pennsylvania, Republicans have sued to stop voters who've sent in mail in-ballots which may have errors are denied a chance to correct the potential errors in a practice known as "notice-and-cure"

There's going to be more ratfvcking and attempts to at least delay certifying Kamala Harris and Tim Walz victory this November.  If those hopefully fail and it appears at least the Harris/Walz team and the Biden Administration as well as staunch defenders of freedom and liberty like Marc E. Elias are fighting the Republican voter suppression efforts in the Courts. 

Even if these efforts are defeated or if they are unsuccessful in stealing the 2024 election for senile weirdo traitor Trump, Republicans know by destroying faith in elections and alleging all sorts of impropriety without any evidence will ensure that one day when Republicans again take to the pulpit to announce a repeat of January 6th enough Fascists will rally to the Republicans cause and overthrow the United States government.

This is what We, the People are facing now...  There are no more "normal" elections.  Every election is a struggle unto death with the Raging Fascist Racist Republican Party.  You have to do everything you can from here on out; because if we do not, the Republican Party will annihilate the Nation and replace it with a murderous death cult built upon the foundations of white supremacy and fundamentalist terrorism, funded by Apartheid billionaire assholes who will LOL as you're sent to "The Staging Grounds" for liquidation.  Eternal Vigilance...

Derrick Rose, the greatest What if? in NBA history and Chicago Bulls Star announces Retirement

 Derrick Rose, just shy of 36 announced he has retired from the NBA.  Rose, a child born and raised in Englewood, a star High School player at Simeon, was going to lead the Chicago Bulls past the LeBron James Cavaliers (or Heat), bring them back into the NBA Finals, and revive the glory of the 1990's Bulls.  But, it never materialized.

Sixteen years after igniting a frenzy of fandom when the Bulls selected him with the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, Chicago native Derrick Rose is retiring from basketball.

Rose leaves a legacy of hope and heartbreak. Two state championships with Simeon. An MVP trophy, Rookie of the Year award and three All-Star selections with the Bulls. Four knee surgeries and a missed season due to ankle injuries. And an endless list of lingering questions — set to the tune of “What if?”

Much has been made of Derrick Rose's explosive style of basketball leading to his numerous injuries and inability to play a full season.  I've always thought his poor nutrition growing up in Chicago made his body unable to deal with the rigors of the game and left his tendons, ligaments, and bones unable to accept the explosive power of his muscles.

Rose played a full season three times in his NBA career, his first 3 seasons with the Bulls.  Since 2016 he didn't appear in more than 50 games.  But, those first 3 years, caused the entire city to believe, the Bulls were on the cusp of Championship relevance and Rose himself was going to have a Stratospheric career but, besides the injuries, his off-the-court gang rape allegations also laid low his star power.  Nonetheless, he lasted in the league for 15 years which is impressive.
