“We will not break; we will NOT bow”

 “In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation…We hold these TRUTHS to be self-evident…”

THIS is why today. Not hot dogs. Not fireworks. Not picnics. Not parades. But THIS.  Let the lunatics rage in the streets. Let them try to tear down the very fabric the spirit of a people yearning to be free are made of, believing we will bend to their will. These brilliant words are why we will NEVER let those who wish to impose tyranny on a people born in liberty triumph. They can try and oh, how they are. But in the words of a great man who sacrificed it all to expose the evil tenants of fascism designed to break our spirit, we “will not break; we will not bow. We will never give in, we will never give up. We will never surrender.   And we will always fight on to victory. Because WE ARE AMERICAN  and our hearts bleed red, white and blue. We are one people. One family and one glorious nation under God.”  Donald J. Trump. 

Happy Birthday, my BELOVED country. I love you with every breath in my being to the depth of my soul.

Children of Cancel Culture

 Parents, let’s take a walk through the weeds of reason and logic, shall we?  

Children. We mold them, shape them, protect them, teach them and profoundly influence them more than any society or culture can,  no matter how much that culture or society attempts to make us abdicate our roles to benefit the current condition of the state. Conditioning at its finest. 

Once those who control the larger populate arrive at a message deemed beneficial to their agreed upon goals, groupthink becomes the vehicle necessary to achieve whatever is the desired outcome.  It is a deliberate and so profound of a hijack of parental minds. They unwittingly become pawns and ultimately accessories in the Crime of altering the innocent and fertile minds of their own children, molding and shaping them in unconscious subservience to the unseen powers that determine what is acceptable and what is not. Media is the tool, social, and its other various forms and it is the purveyor of the message; good, bad or otherwise. Sleight of hand is the trick; manipulation is critical to advance the deception but it must be subtle, artful and pervasive. It must evolve over time so that it’s not identified as anything but an acceptable trend that is perceived as good...and, true. Conditioning at its worst. 

Cancel culture is cool. It’s fun. It makes one powerful to have the ability to erase a person, place or thing, regardless of whether that which is being cancelled is of benefit to a previously defined society. Science has become a political football so it can be quite useful in determining whether or not cancellation of any entity is in order. Its integrity is on par with media unless discernment can be practiced...with either. 

The most nefarious and destructive form of cancel culture is just below the radar. It’s insidious and derives its power from the malleability of the human mind. It rejects true science, replacing it with trends presented as facts tailored to appeal to the desire to be considered cool and accepted by friends, family and peers. 

Cancel culture is on the road to success because within the chaotic, willful chaos and confusion it imposes upon parents who I believe do love their children and universally wish to provide better lives for them, it isn’t businesses or opinions or political groups or individuals that are being cancelled. It is the child’s uniqueness as determined by its genetic code that has now become subjective. Children are being molded and shaped to believe that their gender is optional because “science” has not yet evolved enough, “but it will,” to prove that girls can be boys, boys can be girls and that both can be any manifestation of a living being they ultimately choose. Freedom of choice, no?  That is exactly where this is all going. 

And that is the true danger of cancel culture. The seed that grows quietly, unseen, below the ground and in the dark is the one that will bear the fruit. 

Dear Benjamin Franklin

 To Benjamin Franklin: 

Dear Mr. Franklin, 

I regret to inform you in response to your observation regarding our form of government, “a republic if you can keep it,” that we failed to do so and have been overtaken by those who have transformed us into a banana republic embracing socialism, communism, totalitarianism, fascism, corporatism, whatever you want to call it. It doesn’t matter; the ending is the same. 

For 12 years, many stayed asleep as the values and founding principles, including those you embraced in the precious, living document you so carefully and wisely crafted, were insidiously and deliberately destroyed. A nefarious and sinister cabal seized control of all 3 branches of government and every institution we once respected. 

We immersed ourselves in reckless delight and entertainment provided by Big Tech giants we handed our brains over to and granted permission to manipulate and brainwash our minds into a mass stupor some were never able to wake from. Lies, deceit and fraud were our undoing which, as you know, sir, are the foundation that allows evil to thrive. 

I am so profoundly heartbroken and sorry and I’m glad you and your fellow patriots are not here to see it. We can only hope and pray that somewhere, somehow, we will find new leaders who share the kind of wisdom, fundamental integrity and dedication to truth that you did. 

But I’d like you to know that We the People will continue to fight for freedom and liberty from the tyrannical forces that overcame us in the end and we will work tirelessly and unceasingly to rid ourselves of all those we entrusted our representation to, legally and peacefully, just as our best and beloved 45th president told us. When all is said and done, the sentiment remains alive; “give me liberty or give me death.”

Raindrops on Roses...

“When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad” so I figured I’d try this out for 2020 instead of a handful of resolutions that are a setup to fail - most of the goals, which is really what they are, can be achieved by implementing three words: just do it. 

So here’s a quick glimpse of my favorite things in no order, alphabetical or otherwise, no prioritizing and no expectation that anyone cares. Nevertheless, just making the list might help facilitate coping with the horrific situation we find ourselves in ever since 11/8/2016 when “resistance” was packaged up by media for our daily consumption to be cool as a bonafide cult of crazies began running wild in every element of our society. (For the record and the cause (always need a cause) of intellectual honesty, let me state right here and now: I hate snow; so, therefore it follows: I despise snowflakes - a whole other topic for another day and I’ll leave it at that. 

Now let’s get to it - my favorite things:

Hmmm...let me think about that - they’re not quite on the tip of my tongue. I’ll try though. 

Well, give me a minute...maybe the list is just too big to quantify yes!  That must be it!  But still, there must be a “FEW of my favorite things” I can come up with - you’d think, right?

Nothing. Nada. A lot of clutter but nothing in particular emerges to kick off the free flow of ideas and generate at least one or two things...yet, my pen seems dry. (Remember them? They went the way of books - poof!)

I wonder what I could do to “trigger” (big, beloved buzz word interchangeable between opposite sides of the same coin aka political parties) some definite favorite things I can name.  

Apparently nothing since nothing comes to mind. Very discouraging. I thought this would be an easy exercise!

Ok, here we go.  My favorite things are......

Well this is going nowhere. Could it be I HAVE no favorite things?  Is that even possible?  Is it??

Yes. 

What if I try a different approach?  I’ve got it!  I’ll list a few of my most HATED things.  

Wow. So much easier and in fact, I already did up above. 

And therein lies the problem, dear genius readers...we have been conditioned to think AND feel that hate is easier than its opposition: love. Why?  Because it is. And we humans, for the most part, do seem to choose the easiest things, ways, options, decisions, morals, philosophies and so forth. So over and over again, that choice, the easy one, inevitably leads to hate. Its roots are laziness, apathy and indifference UNTIL you can latch on to something that makes you feel better; that gives you meaning, a sense of purpose. 

Right now, as we begin a new year...a new decade, let’s stop choosing EASY because that collective choice has led us to dwell in a land of division, “fear and loathing” (H/T Hunter Thompson) hypocrisy, verbal and physical violence all packaged up in a perpetual state of hatred brought to you by a filthy, disgusting, “free” press mouthpiece of those who wish to CREATE destruction (bravo if you noticed the oxymoron 👏👏👏).   While THEY are free to impose their lies upon us and while WE give them permission to, WE are the unfree. WE are shackled to THEIR truths. WE simmer and brew and ferment until we ultimately explode nothing but hatred. 

It will kill us. One way or another. It will kill us. 

For this new decade, can we, for the love of GOD and all things sacred and holy, begin to love??  Begin to choose the NOT easy?  Begin to live as we were meant to?  Because if we do not, it is simply a matter of brief time, that our hatred does, indeed, kill us all. 

Happy New Year.  With love. 

“ J'Accuse...!"

If, after the vote to impeach by Pelosi’s henchmen you are satisfied and energized or joyful, congratulate yourself on being one of their brainwashed sheep.

Celebrate the fact that hatred is the fuel that powers you up; that lies are your bedtime stories and that the rule of law means nothing to you.

Take your rightful place with all in history who have stood by in silence while watching the decline and ultimate destruction of all that is good within the human heart.  Embrace the lineage of those who mockingly marched to Golgotha; those who cowered in the streets as the Romans slaughtered innocent babes in Israel and those who walked past the newsstands selling papers crying out the atrocities of Aushwitz...they left their legacy for you in this moment. Bear your shame with pride...after all, you own it...because you willfully turned your back on truth...and you condemned an innocent man.  And I hope my words make you angry...make you squirm...make you feel uncomfortable because maybe, just maybe, you still have your soul.

Donald Trump is being publicly crucified for crimes he did not commit. If you remain silent, or pick up your stone to throw it, then you don’t need “23 and me” to know your ancestry.  History already told you.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana

Short ‘n Sweet

In THIS country, this Constitutional republic, one has the RIGHT to face his accuser.

In the totalitarian country DEMOCRATS are creating, the President of the United States does not.

And neither will you if Democrats win.

THIS is Obama’s “fundamental change.”  One of them.

Lock Her Up Already!!!

She was born for this. One singular vision. Never a doubt; no earthly reason to. Every waking moment spent imagining what it would be like; how would it feel in that one moment in time...the moment when the glass shards would fall around her in their final descent from the heavens...to the ceiling...to the ground she worshipped simply because she walked on it.

All around her knew her destiny and were willingly and unwillingly pressed into her service. No stone was left unturned; no task overlooked - at least the first time which was a mere rehearsal. But even if it were, it would not, could not matter because she deserved this. She was entitled. She owned this moment by virtue of her appointed destiny with greatness. She was special; ordinary rules and laws applied only to the lesser among her who were the All. No consequence ever needed consideration. No sin too serious to commit or unable to be hidden underneath the veneer covering the lies, the greed, the evil boiling beneath the surface. Her favor could only be bought - never earned and at prices only princes and kings could afford. But she was worth it.

For those who couldn’t afford the honor of her presence, servitude and slavery were acceptable currency. Her needs were there to be met by any means possible because after all, the world was waiting for her ascension to the throne. The scribes duly reported; the jesters and fools entertained. Those who fell from her favor were dealt with swiftly and sometimes fatally depending upon the degree of their defiance and severity of their perceived crime against her. No one dared to cross her for fear of their own fate. Collateral damage is acceptable and understood in the devil’s domain of war, power, money and greed.

But in the dark night of the soulless, it was not meant to be. There were those who stayed intent upon the light who as in generation after generation fought and sometimes died for the sacred gifts of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the holiness of truth; all of which she had forsaken on her journey to all things Profane. She blinked and they made their move, ripping her dream to shreds.  In the end, the only glass that was broken were the cracks indelibly etched in the blackened mirror her dead eyes gazed into reflecting back at her the horror of who she really is.

She lost. She will never get over it. Nor will her true believers. There is no redemption for evil; it simply is.

But.  It can be overcome and conquered. And it will be. Because light overcomes the dark. Good always overcomes bad. Faith, hope and love will triumph and claim victory from those who call the swamp their home. They will be drowned in their own filth, their lies and their perversions. They know who they are and are now ruled by Fear. Fear that they will finally be brought to justice...by the grace of God, by our commitment to each other and our country and a man who promised he will not let us down.

She tried to take our home from us.

She failed.

Thank God.

And THAT, Hillary Clinton, is “what happened.”

“Cry My Beloved Country”

This: “the restriction of the arbitrary exercise of power by subordinating it to well-defined and established laws”...the ARBITRARY EXERCISE..the Rule of law is being denied...DENIED to the President of the United States by Nancy Pelosi’s ROGUE House of Representatives for a crime that WAS NOT COMMITTED. 

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, AMERICA??  We. Are. Being. Destroyed. From. Within. 

AND THE CONSTITUTION IS BEING DISMANTLED IN FRONT OF OUR EYES. 

Our Republic is dying. This is the moment of reckoning. Do you want democracy?  Or communism?  Either we fight or remain silent. It is as simple as that. 

With Us...or A’gin Us??

Ladies and Gentlemen:  It comes down to this.  Are you for America or are you against America?  Are you with the President who stands between ALL of us and the Radical Left (Democrats) who want to redistribute YOUR wealth; finance ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS’ HEALTHCARE while YOU can’t afford decent coverage; your GOD GIVEN RIGHT to self defense; FORCE you into veganism; PREVENT you from flying; RAISE your taxes; (THEIR words - not mine) and alter your life in UNIMAGINABLE ways???

Are you FOR America or AGAINST America???

WHICH IS IT?

“Come Together Right Now...”

The Deep State and their tools, mainstream media and members of Congress on BOTH sides of the aisle are panicked because the dots are being connected AND because President Trump is ON. TO. IT. ALL. which is WHY they must get him out of office. National security has been compromised with Pelosi’s impeachment stunt (not to mention Spygate) because they have weaponized and politicized our ENTIRE system of justice and the Constitution.  The media is hiding the truth from us because what they have done is SO dastardly. It doesn’t get much worse than trying to take down a duly elected President of the United States BECAUSE the candidate to protect these players who want total control over our lives, shockingly lost the election. 

The corruption in our government is almost too vast and deep to understand but luckily, diligent, dedicated patriots have worked VERY hard to find the truth. NO mainstream outlet...not ONE (except for a very few) is telling us the extent of it and they’re banking on our ignorance. If Donald Trump fails at exposing and draining this swamp surrounded by quicksand, the United States of America is over. He has done NOTHING wrong or illegal. Mueller proved that and now the Ukraine transcript has done the same.  Let me say that again...if we do not support this president and his Herculean efforts to clean out our government, we are done.  Over. DO YOU HEAR ME, MY NON-POLITICAL FRIENDS HERE??  OVER. You need only look at the leftist, socialist candidates to know that.  Who want to raise your taxes. Give health insurance and free education to ILLEGALS. Rob you of your social security. Your god-given right to self defense while they employ armed guards. The new green deal.  Redistribute your wealth and so it goes. 

We MUST unite behind this man who has taken more slings and arrows that are humanly imaginable. I don’t care WHAT party you think you’re in. It is us against them. Simple as that. This is a battle between good and evil. We knew Donald Trump was not perfect. But we knew his strength, his vision, his courage and yes, his LOVE for this country is what mattered...the very things they hate him for.  Because if we do not unite and stand with this president NOW, blood in the streets will be the LEAST of our problems. Turn off your mainstream news. They’re part of the swamp.  It is always darkest before the dawn which it is now and I am begging those not paying attention to wake up and use your OWN eyes and ears to guide you to the truth. 

As the history of the blog demonstrates, I was once a liberal. BEFORE liberalism morphed into radical leftist progressivism, socialism, communism...call it what you will.  It all ends up at the same destination: loss of personal liberty and government control over every aspect of our lives. Someone recently asked me why is it that normal people (if you find one, let me know) can’t seem to recognize the dire straits we’re in. The best I could offer was that I certainly have no answers but think maybe a combination of contributing factors not limited to our substandard education system hijacked by liberals, weak and/or abusive parenting, the effects of purposeful media brainwashing to a population glued to digital screens, apathy, inability for support systems to recognize mental illness and deal with it ASAP, lack of leadership mentors, low-lying depression resulting from constant barrages of Armageddon, lethargy secondary to obesity because of the crimes of the food industry, lack of a spiritual belief system, insane gender reclassification but who is looking at the root causes when we’re on the brink (and make no mistake...we are) of civil war?  A whole other topic for another day. My heart is breaking. My country is on life support and unless we recognize and support and TRUST the brilliance of one man who has given up the ALL to fight for us as he and his family are crucified daily by the corrupt legacy, mockingbird media, we are screwed. And we have no one to blame but ourselves. 

Put the hatred away...it’s going to kill you eventually so do it for your health...for your children.  Swallow your pride if you made a colossal mistake in voting. The media’s purposeful brainwashing is very hard to resist. Do NOT abdicate your intellect to people who wish to do you harm. That is the first step to selling your soul. 

MEMO TO FOOD BLOGGERS!

Dear Food Bloggers,

Though it may surprise you to learn this, the majority of your audience could NOT care less about the following:

1.  What you had for dinner in 1970 and the great impact it’s had on your life. 

2. What your lawyer boyfriend tells the office about what dish you’ve created promoting him to pop the question. 

3. How many kids you have sticking their dirty, germ infested fingers into the pickle jar featured in your recipe for those delicious dills. 

4. What you wore to your first dance. 

5. How many tries it took you to get THIS recipe right. (psst..it doesn’t exactly foster trust in your culinary skills and make people run right out to get your ingredients)

6. How much your dog enjoys licking up every morsel from the plate you snuck him in the kitchen. 

7. A running commentary about the season you’re making this dish in OR a travelogue about how far you went to find it. 

8. Humor. NOTHING you say is funny, clever or witty and it’s ALL been said before. 

9. How even your vegan friends beg you to make this recipe and ask for seconds. 

10. What your plans are for the evening after shoving your gluttonous self from the table in a stupor while plotting your next blog. 

So, I’m here to help you. THIS is how to write a food blog from beginning to end. 

“Hi. Here’s my recipe. Try it. Hope you like it. Leave your comments below.”

Ingredients:

2 cups water at room temperature 

1 cup water

2T water

1/4 tsp water

Preheat oven to 5000 deg. 

Combine 2T water with 1 cup. Mix in blender. Set aside in small mixing bowl. 

Add previously mixed water to bowl. Whisk until smooth. 

Mix 1/4 tsp of water with 1/2 cup of water and add to bowl. 

Add first 1/2 of divided water to mixing bowl  and transfer entire mixture to 8 x 10 pan lined with parchment paper. 

Pour 2nd half of divided water and smooth with cake spatula for first layer. 

Add pinch of water to 2/3 cup of water and spread evenly on top for second layer, retaining 1/3 for garnish.  

Cover with foil and bake at 5000 deg. for 3 hrs.

Remove foil in last half hour and cook until slightly brown and bubbling. 

Test for doneness with toothpick which should come out clean. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with remaining water for garnish. 

See ya next time. Bye. 

Ya gotta beer?

Just a little warmup before I really get going on the political thing so before I do, I’m just going to jump right in with this:

ELIZABETH WARREN IS BATSHIT CRAZY.  CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY. GOT THAT?  CRAZY!

I don’t care whether she’s got 1/1024% of Cherokee blood running through her CRAZY head or if she’s Geronimo’s long lost daughter...the woman is mad.

You don’t need to be a psych professional (which I happen to be though it’s of no consequence) to know there is something SERIOUSLY off with this woman. Awkward might be a good starting descriptive word but all you need is two eyes to see those herky jerky mannerisms and bizarro speech patterns to make a reasonable guess that she’s nuts and CLEARLY uncomfortable in her own skin. I don’t even care about her FARRRRRR left platform...the starting point is Elizabeth herself.  Who...really...WHO VOTES FOR THESE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE???

https://youtu.be/sWehvtOL_VI

Fooled ya...I wasn’t gone!

If I weren’t so lazy, I’d start a new blog redefining what will undoubtedly be somewhat of a theme consisting of my typical snarky rants, but I AM too lazy so this will just have to do. I think it’s safe to say my blog title still applies however...with a little more emphasis on the “psycho” vs. the potpourri but then again, is there really that much of a distinction?

So I’ve been a little busy expanding my worldview and accompanying pet peeves regarding such views and have indulged in many areas of skill development with still not enough time to exceed in one; so, that must make me a Jack or Jill of all trades and master of none...well, maybe some but no one has yet notified me of which ones those might be and there ARE a lot of categories to choose from...photography, painting, drawing, knitting, guitar, politics...oh...did I say politics?  Indeed I did but these days, it appears to be less of an art and more related to crime.  And if we’ve learned ANYTHING, we can say with great conviction now that crime certainly DOES pay...and pay...and pay...well, you get what I’m saying IF you have a brain in your head left after what we’ve been through as a country these last few years. Those who have followed me know my political leanings have taken several hard turns both left AND right which in MY book, The Book of Mary, qualifies me as an independent. Which, btw, is why I was AND remain an ardent supporter of Donald Trump. I am sick to death SICK TO DEATH of both sides of the aisle. More on that as I get back into the swing of things but the caveat here is move along if you’re a diehard anything. This blog is not meant for you. Or, maybe it is. Who knows at this point anymore.

Anyway, that’s it for the moment. Happy Labor Day!  Enjoy the fruits of yours! ~ Mary

Do You Know the Way to San Jose - Or Out?

No, I'm NOT going to let this go, "this" being the domestic terrorism run rampant at Donald Trump's San Jose rally several days ago that appears to be a cluster*uck of many forces converging; including but not limited to a stand down order by the mayor to the SJPD, questionable membership of the PD chief in the allegedly racist group "La Raza," Hillary Clinton, George Soros,  and Bernie Bros to name a few. Remaining silent, as MLK said, is complicity and I will continue to decry this deliberate, encouraged and APPLAUDED violence by Leftists; (formerly known as a subgroup of traditional Democrats no longer in existence HELLOOOOOOOO) the result of years of liberal policies, rhetoric and political correctness, as being acceptable when one disagrees with them. Their message is one of tolerance and advocacy for peace and justice  (aka Social Justice Warriors or SWJs) when as I have been pointing out, is really that of hypocritical outrage and an authoritarian imposition of an entire school of beliefs that began to take shape in the 60s. 

Clinton says Trump is dangerous? What IS dangerous is the failure to recognize, define and understand the source of what has made this country cross a line that may very well be what defines THEM vs us. Build the GD wall already - a necessity now because of failed immigration policies and lack of enforcement of existing laws by BOTH parties for entirely different reasons. It's not the solution but a start to containment of a MULTITUDE of issues we face so that MAYBE some rational solutions can be made. With the leftists out of control attempting to enforce their beliefs on mainstream America by encouraging and enacting violence and blaming the victims, it truly IS now or never. 

It IS coming to your doorstep. Failure to see that has many origins I'll collapse into one larger movement many, including myself, see as the concerted effort called the Numbing and Dumbing Down of Americans (my words but all mean the same) via such media as sports, reality tv, gaming, tech devices, social media, liberal education, left-wing biased cable news networks such as CNN and MSNBC

and the lethal squeezing of the middle class whose members arrive home so tired each night after doing the bidding of their masters that their minds become ripe for the brainwash of the populate in a constant messaging of liberal GOOD and anything else BAD.  It's now reached fevered pitch as demonstrated by what occurred in San Jose and presented to us by the media as "protesting" against that hateful Donald Trump and his racist supporters.  Hell, after a few beers downed in a state of utter exhaustion, I'd believe anything too.  My voice here is one in hundreds who have objected to what was displayed and rationalized all over our airwaves this past weekend as "protest" and a colossal enactment of blaming the victim rather than unspeakable acts of violence against people whose right of assembly and free speech was trampled upon .   There's nothing groundbreaking here but I could not in good conscience let this moment history may very well look back to and define as the moment the 2nd Civil War of the United States began pass without going on the record.

Which colors will you be wearing?  Red, white and blue or green, white and red?  If the former, you better make sure your uniform is non-flammable.  

Beyond disgust and outrage here.  Just beyond.

Monsters Everywhere...

Conspiracy theorists have a great deal in common with the Establishment on both sides of the aisle. They don't like their fellow Americans and show utter disdain for their normalcy and insistence on loving their country because only they can write the script on what patriotism ought to be; they believe themselves to be morally superior and to possess occult wisdom of the daily issues THEY believe are important; they consider their intellectual level to be far superior to their peers when the majority I've encountered have barely more than a high school diploma (B.A. or B.S. to Establishment types); they preach their message with self-righteousness and condescending indignation that demonstrates further the scorn they have toward the uninitiated or non believers in their Scripture of Skepticism and so it goes. Nothing. Nothing can shake their belief in the bogeyman, existential or otherwise. This kind of thought process I am convinced is the natural outcome of many many years wearing the uniform of the social justice warrior. There is no redemption when one believes the sun rising each day is the moon moving in reverse. Luckily, most of them don't vote. They can't find the ever elusive perfect candidate.

Far leftists and CTs * (often but not always one and the same) also fear Trump bc nothing but nothing can shake the impenetrable blockade around their politically corrected brainwashed brains that can only regurgitate the themes of social justice ills they alone are endowed with the wisdom to fix: preoccupation with all things pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel that trumps (no pun intended) their absent sense of patriotism and allegiance (considered to be pathological as evidenced by indignant proclamations regarding their own country while somehow believing they're appointed to school the rest of us by way of scolding us into our shamefulness); oftentimes lashing out at their favorite whipping post aka the United States military; the evils of modern medicine even though they have no education in it except perhaps self-help books and Google which is college to them and so it goes. Jesus Christ himself wouldn't get their votes if He was running but that's mostly because they're either proclaimed atheists or they allow themselves to tentatively embrace a religion likely because it serves a familial, social and cultural need. Hypocrisy is not a word in their vocabulary.



 *CT henceforth to mean "conspiracy theorists" which some may have noticed is my pet theme of late. Sorry but someone has to say it.  

Sadly.

A Worldwide Crucifixion

In case you haven't noticed, a very public crucifixion is in progress not only here in the United States but all around the globe and the insurgent this time is Donald J. Trump.

Love him or hate him as there appears to be no in-between for this particular slaughter, the violence surrounding him makes one wonder why he just doesn't say "F*ck it - who needs this?" and go back to his enormously successful life of comfort and wealth (despite what the pundits tell you) in the interest of his own and his family's personal safety.

I could go into a very detailed analysis of all of this but much has been done already in snippets that if combined would make something Freud would be proud of but I'm not.  Instead, I'm just going to shake my head in abject disgust and once again caution you that the media in this country is about as corrupt as it gets; that the Congress is too and that the elites running the show make Red Reddington look like Captain Kangaroo.  I wonder what it is that lets people hoping for changes in their lives think the solution ought to be violent and out of control, mob mentality rabid behaviors?  If I want peace, should I pick up a sword and stab my neighbor?  If I want to be noted and respected, should I scream and shout and gesture obscenely to the person standing quietly next to me?  Can someone please explain this to me?  

When this kind of crap happens, I end up with a sense of outrage at the perpetrators of such behavior and ultimately wind up angered and frustrated beyond words to the point I want to grab them myself and put them in a padded OR LOCKED cell until they can demonstrate appropriate and in control behaviors.  Never do I look at them and say oh, wow - ya, man, let's talk about your issues and I'll see what I can do to help you fix them.

That is why Donald Trump is a far better human being than this sick society will give him credit for and that is why he is the only one I can consider strong, courageous and extremely big-hearted.

Plus, he's not Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Hillary Clinton and God save us, Bernie Sanders.

Any questions?  Shame on everyone who has participated in this as a player or spectator.  We were already in a downhill spiral but this bullshit just put our descent on steroids.  God help us.

Look Who's Talkin'.....Again!

And so, we meet again and certainly well,  shall we say interesting, to be back here after many false starts and stops in my mind since the last time I dazzled liberals with my stunning insights.

 I haven't exactly been in hiding but I surely have been speechless as I've stood in terrifying awe watching the rate of progression toward the destruction of the America I grew up in.  Wow.  But every now and then, I have this urge to pop off about this or that lest I explode and social media has taken care of a lot of that...sort of.  That, too, happens to be one of my pet gripes but that's for another day.  I'm a bit rusty so I'm just going to engage in a bit of babble to get my sea legs again.  No, I haven't been ill or in jail or committed.....yet... but occupied elsewhere doing IMPORTANT things like art and photography and ya, still the jewelry from time to time.  For those who continued to contact me telling me how much you missed my snotty, snarky little voice, let me assure you that I have not changed.  In fact, I'm probably worse than ever but that, as always, is for my audience to decide.  And I absolutely have not changed my stance on the occupant of the White House - and sad to say, I far underestimated the "fundamental change" I warned about at the time which brings us to where we are.  Wish I'd been wrong all along.  As usual, I'll write when my muse urges me and maybe even between times - we'll see.  I'm as sickened as ever and even more than I could have imagined so refasten your seat belts and welcome back to a front row seat within the wanderings of my mind.  Hope all are safe and well. 

*Reminder for full disclosure - I am a former liberal.  The truth can be verified in the archives.

"Go Plan Your Father's Funeral..."

So out of curiosity, wondering if perhaps the Mike Malloy Flying Monkey Left contingent has come to their collective, "progressive" senses, I took a stroll over to his blog moments ago and what did I discover but a wonderful rant extolling Liz Cheney to "go plan your father's funeral."

www.mikemalloy.com should you care to check for yourself.

I am thoroughly embarrassed and ashamed of myself that I, too, was one of Malloy's followers.  And they have the "audacity" to call the right wingers and Tea Party folks "hateful?"


Sorry, Malloy - you help your cause not one bit when you flaunt your hatred, genuine though it may be, out there for others who might not know you for the tool you are and randomly encounter your despicable, hypocritical vitriol hoodwinked by following the lead of "truthseeker."

Makes one wonder what you'd feel if someone advised your daughter the same, huh?

So in the fine, liberal tradition, let me close with a sigh of sadness and frustration and a quote from surely one of your heroes...."oh when will they ever learn?  Oh, when will they, ever learn?"

"Ffool me uh, once...."

CT voters...Is there REALLY anything else you need to know???

America's "Inferno"

Ya, well, long time, no see....or write as the case may be.

Not much to say actually - if you don't understand by now that the United States of America is crumbling right before your eyes well, there's not much I can contribute to influence your willful blindness and dereliction of your duty as an American to watch the supposed watchdogs of our Constitution and democracy.  We're screwed, my friends, and I hope, for your sake, you know that because if you don't, you're gonna wake up and be mighty shocked one day when you realize that your childhood is unrecognizable from what you were taught to expect when you became adults.  Ya, I'm talking to you, all you late teen and twenty, even thirty something-ers.  You are going to pay dearly for your Facebooks, Twitters, Twatters, Myspaces, Deadspaces between your ears and believe me, none of us on the other side of the 60's is going to feel one bit of smug satisfaction to be able to say we "told you so."

I started this blog after the bloodbath in Fallujah....sick and disgusted over what I saw happening and oh, what a journey it's been.  From shock and awe to hope and change I've watched the dismantling of my country and I'm reaching the point where it's crystal clear to me that there's not a damn thing more I can do about it. 

I hear The One, who's been running for re-election since he was anointed, has a new campaign slogan....I guess we're ditching the hopey-changey thing for now but keeping the hope part somewhat alive.  My opinion?  He'd be smarter to tell his beloved illegal aliens that he's adopting a more truthful border protection program and the first step will be to hang a banner clear 'cross the whole deal that will forever immortalize one of his no-doubt famous poets Dante and it will say, facing outward of course, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."

Now THAT would be the first move to truth.

Hey, President Soetero...

I know Paul McCartney does it for ya but maybe a quick listen to this might remind you that we're waiting for some LEADERSHIP in the Gulf...makes one wonder whose "ass" you're "going to kick" today. Wait...did YOU, Mr. Civility in Politics REALLY say that on the Today Show? Ah, must be that hopey-changey thing again.

Is it November yet?

A Dark Day Indeed...

"These are the times that try men's souls." Thomas Paine, Founder Father of the United State Constitutution. Still says, "We, the People" last time I checked. My soul is deeply troubled. Until I read and re-read that word, "We."

 

Vote ALL incumbents out.  All of them.  Term limits.  Effyou, Pelosi.  From me, who cried with pride when you where elected Speak of the House.  What a mistake I made.

Unmitigated Gall!!!

The Heat is On: Congressman’s Office Says Constituent Calls Are ‘Harassment’

Phuck Dennis Kucinich!!!

As all my dear readers know, when I'm too beyond words, that's exactly the case.  Literally.  Not only am I beyond words, but I'm beyond rage and outrage (yes, there IS a difference) with this health care nightmare The One and his merry band of thieves is trying to show down our throats NO MATTER WHAT.  I have NEVER seen such a disgrace in my life and no doubt, our Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves right about now.

Luckily, I have, not only a wonderful friend but a distinguished, published writer to speak for me.  So, Shentale, take it away....you speak for me and ALL of us who believe in the Constitution of the United States.


-------

Phuck, Dennis Kucinich. 

So are we to understand his switch is about his "concern" about the legitimacy of this inept POTUS? Give me a break. This neophyte man posing as a so called leader RUINED all his legitimacy with all the LIES, DECEIT and pure THUGGERY he and his shyster campaign undertook during the Dem. Primary and wholeheartedly carried on into the General Election. Oh, and as for legitimate: Kucinich should talk with Alice Palmer regarding how loyal and trustworthy his new BFF is.

Mr. Soetoro-Obama has NO respect for women, NO respect for this country and really I don't think ANY respect for any ethnicity other than whatever the hell he is. And quite frankly, I really don't care what he is. All I know is this is one of the sorriest, piss poor examples I've ever seen masquerading as a fully mature man.

I just want his term done and over. It's always about HIM. What happened to being a servant of the PEOPLE? Protector of this NATION? He could give a rat's ass about the future of the U.S.A. It's about him and his foul Presidency. I cannot be the only one who sees this. He doesn't put the welfare of our nation at all in the front of his mind. I never expected him to do so -- but I'm sure there were (and are) some gullible people out there who do and did. They need to wake up and wake up quickly. Following this fool will only lead to disappointment and more anger.

Once a fraud, always a fraud. Anyone from MI and FL alone who have Congressmen supporting this creep's agenda should be voted out. They didn't need their votes during the Dem. Primary so why the hell would anyone think their vote is needed in any future elections? Sorry Kucinich -- CAUCUS FRAUD long ago destroyed ANY credibility this feckless chump may have had. Which I believe he never, ever did in the first place. As for Rep. Kucinich...

I see him as worse than a weasel. He prides himself on being a man of his word. What a liar. I already didn't agree with him on his so called beliefs. He's just another racist, low-life liar like the majority of the politicians in D.C. 

I'm so ashamed I ever thought this man was someone I didn't agree with but at least stood by his word. How duped was I? How duped were others? Are Paul Ryan and Michelle Bachman the only decent members left in the House of Representatives? Unbelievable. Two people. Maybe six...the rest...Either they're bigoted, cheaters, beaters of women, battling addictions, immorally oriented, corrupt and who knows what else? I'm sorry for the rant but this is getting so out of control.

I still cannot believe Mrs. Pelosi -- along with most Dems -- are looking to "deem" a bill has passed in order to make it a law. Never mind only a "handful" have actually read the 2,000 plus page bill (and most of them are in the Republican Party -- where NO ONE is voting for this sham of bill). This is just crooked and wrong. 

These creeps should be ashamed of themselves. They're so caught up in their fabricated bubble of importance -- until they are unable to see just how utterly disgusting their actions are -- as well as how destructive the end result of their gluttonous, wholly corrupt folly will most likely be for the U.S.

This is a direct slap in the face to all that is decent, honorable and good about the U.S. I'm glad our Founding Fathers aren't around to witness this freak show. I hate I'm around to witness it. Pelosi and her minions are definitely steering us all into a very deep financial pit of peril.

Barack Obama - Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?

Don't blame me - I'm just a lowly psych nurse - but there's this old saying: "If the shoe fits, wear it."



Barack Obama - Narcissist or Merely Narcissistic?



VOTE THEM OUT! ALL INCUMBENTS!

A Reason for Hope (No, not HIS kind)

Whoever you are, Madam, I'd like to shake your hand!

"I am a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me.   Instead, we are burdened with Congressional Dukes and Duchesses who think they know better than the citizens they are supposed to represent. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now.  You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would feel so horribly disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut-job am I? Well, these briefly are the views and issues for which I seek   representation:  One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels.. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution.    P.S., I'm not a racist. This is not to be confused with legal immigration. Two, the STIMULUS bill. I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you No, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal. Three: Czars. I want the circumvention of our constitutional checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution, and honor it. Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There are many conflicting opinions and it is too soon for this radical legislation. Quit throwing our nation into politically-correct quicksand. Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision that will burden me, my children, and grandchildren. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night without even reading it. Slow down!  Fix only what is broken -- we have the best health care system in the world -- and test any new program in one or two states first. Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty   fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. More is not better! Shrink it down. Mind your own business.  You have enough to take care of with your real [Constitutional] obligations. Why don't you start there. Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes -- how did they pull that one off?  Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with any of our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate. Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs -- and that is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person! Why do you want me to hate my employers? And what do you have against shareholders making a profit? Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves. Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Every company must sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. (Have you ever ripped off a Band-Aid?) We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us. Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk.. Please stop trying to manipulate and appease me with clever wording.. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me. Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now. Take a breath. Listen to the people. Slow down and get some input from nonpoliticians and experts on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed-reading our bills into law. I am not an activist.. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent.. I work. I'm busy.  I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave. I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not.  It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is needless urgency and recklessness in all of your recent spending of our tax dollars. From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on bringing our concerns to Washington . Our president often knows all the right buzzwords like unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons. We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented.. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work, pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone... and we are now looking at you.  You have awakened us, the patriotic freedom spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office.  We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us who will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution. Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this.. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution, and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them.. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one.    We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent?    Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming." --------- To minimize Bot Bias, I saved the source till the end.  The letter was sent to Glenn Beck that he read on the air....Tricked ya, bots, huh?  So easily done.  I especially love the ones who will rail against Beck, Fox, and yes, even Malloy who, when you confront them on their imbecilic talking points, will say, "oh no, I don't 'watch' or 'listen' cuz I can't stand them."  It's one of many reasons we are where we are as a nation - thanks, Bots of ALL Brands. VOTE THEM OUT!  EACH AND EVERY INCUMBENT WHO DOESN'T DECIDE TO SPEND TIME WITH THEIR FAMILY!!!  TERM LIMITS!  ELECTION REFORM!
