Just seen another simpering advert on tv showing in black and white scenes of poor people doing simple things like washing a child in a tin bath. The words appear…”Jesus gets you.” Well isn’t that precious. He does…and he is really pissed with the money changers in the Temple. The grifters, the rich

The behavior of Israel in Gaza cannot be compared with that of Germany towards the Jews in WWII, but it is an example of cynical use of food as a weapon, ethnic cleansing, and waging war against civilians - compounded by international indifference and weakness. It is totally inexcusable.

Speaking at any time about events in Israel/Palestine, one always has consider if one is tainted by anti-Semitism… The deliberate starvation of Gazans and West Bank settlement expansion are the end gamebof Zionism. Palestinians are punished for the Shoah. No mercy for any since the bestial 10/7.

I asked my AI assistant the difference between Barney Rubble and Donald Trump and received the reply… “Barney Rubble is a real cartoon character, friend of Fred Flintstone - Donald Trump is a fictional, incompetent businessman who imagines he is a mafiosi don and who has no friends.”

The Imminent demise of VoA, the motivation of which seems to be to alter its message to promote the strong-man dream which has captured Earth.2 Here on Earth.1 we pray and do good works to ensure our society is kinder and more compassionate to the most needy. VoA should be a QWANGO likrme the BBC.

Eating dried oats, the thought “ lovely horse” flashed through my mind. I remembered being at a farm on a warm summer evening. I had prepared a mash of oats and molasses in a leather bucket which I proffered to a lovely grey shire that had earlier worked with ploughing a field. Gently old thing.

Looking at my garage containing much of my worldly goods just before a move, I commented it looked like Tutsnkhanem’s tomb, “Grave Goods,” I called it. A friend commented that would be a good name for a heavy metal group… Would that I had the talent!

Our proto-German here in the States has not the humanity and wisdom of an Eisenhower, but the small minded, petty hatred and spite engendered by the worst of father-oriented German family culture. He has his brown shirts too. They were most evident on January 6th and have since been pardoned.

Observing the slow march of evil that consumed Germany in 1930 on and the associated strange people who came to prominence, I cannot but notice how this animal German, a throwback to that time has gathered to himself a group of very strange people and is now holding America by the throat.

Lyrics of an old street chant “Hot cross buns, Hot cross buns, One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns. If you have no daughters, Give them to your sons. One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns!”

It was unfortunate that Vance precipitated the demise of Pope Francis. Despite Vance being a complete asshole, the Holy Father gave him chocolate eggs for his children. The power of Christian kindness…lost on the moron boy. What does it gain a man if he has the whole world but has lost his own soul?

Re Trump, Harvard et alia. It’s personal. Consider - it was the government that closed Trump’s scam University - but you can’t expect this golem to admit his fault! What did Socrates say about the unexamined life?

Smoot-Hawley and the Great Depression… Weimar and the success of German Facism… Margaret Atwood and the Handmaid’s Tale… Neville Chamberlain and Peace for Our Time in Czechoslovakia… George Orwell, Franz Kafka, Hannah Arendt… …haven’t we seen this movie before?

I was searchjing for a word which could describe the condition of the peoplebofvthevUnited States: ….vulnerable … It applies when looking at the danger of an epidemic, climate change, upsetting old allies, scapegoating women and minorities, damaging the.rule of law. There will be weeping…

When a hurricane blew Mar-a-Lago flat, The President, his trousers, he shat. With no FEMA to deal with the stench, He depends on the French And pays their huge tariffs, and that’s that!

Reported in “The Hill” today the conservative businessman, Dave Portnoy is demanding the White House should cause heads to roll over the Hegseth group chat presaging the Yemen attack… Could this be termed “Portnoy’s Complaint”?

Does a Leopard change its spots? Following on the blatant and reckless illegality of the Mar-a-Lago documents case, we now see that veniality repeated by the mindless foolishness of the vegetables that Trump calls a cabinet in their public planning of the Houthi attack. Cabinet? IKEA makes better!

Just attended a Medicaid oriented meeting with my congressperson. Listened to the testimony of a paraplegic woman who depends on Medical support but despite her severe difficulties, has a record of social activism. My feelings - compassion and… admiration. She deserves better than Trump’s dream!

What rumors have the MAGA crazies cooked up to bolster their apologies for what they describe as Trump’s womanizing? A euphemism by these brave souls - he isn’t a womanizer, he’s a predator, a love child of Tony Soprano and Hannibal Lecter…
