Trump Tariffs Failed!

Before you fall for Trump's Victory lap for his tariffs on Mexico, you should know that the actual reason that the tariffs are suspended, is Mexico demanded the flow of U.S. guns stop crossing the border into Mexico. Now, out of the Trump playbook, he will brag and tell those who still believe his lies, that he won the trade war. In actual fact, his 125-year-old plan failed.

Immigrant has Access...

While the legality of the Department of Government Efficiency that Trump and Musk madeup is still in question, immigrant, Elon Musk, has been given access to the government payment system which includes Social Security. So much for keeping us safe from immigrants.

Shit-ton

Another important that I never learned in school, involves weights measures. I'm referring to the Shit-ton. It is equivalent to 24 metric ass-loads.

Same Cartoons Same Fans

I've got dinner on hold while everybody else gets showers. So, I decided to watch some cartoons. It cracks me up that there are all of these geriatric commercials during classic cartoons. When I was a kid, watching the same cartoons, it was about sugar frosted cereal.

Trump is a Prolific Liar

When the lies outweigh any truth by a hundredfold, and when some of them can't be proven until it's too late, such as climate change, we can still focus in on easily verifiable lies.

Anti-Vaccine Garbage Propaganda

I stopped following a couple of friends I knew way back in school recently, because one was touting MAGA and the other is promoting anti-vaccine misinformation. For the latter, reposting other people's garbage about their child dying from the vaccine without researching it or even considering the alternative world we would live in if there were no vaccines, I just can't argue with people who can't accept science. One could say that seat belts killed a person in a car accident, if that person was wearing a seatbelt. The reality is, the person would have died with or without the seat belt if the accident was severe enough. It's also not unusual for these stories to be completely made up. But these individuals aren't going to be thankful that they don't have to endure an iron lung the way people did back in the 1950s during the polio epidemic. They just want to propagate crap.

Emperor Trump

As Trump prepares to take office for the second time, I want to acknowledge all of those who voted for him. You have saved the USA the embarrassment of having an eminently qualified woman president, and made history by allowing the first convicted felon to hold the highest office. Fortunately, neither the truth, science, nor fairness will impede the Trump presidency. However, the infighting of egomaniacs just might.

Down with the McNess

In case you were unaware, my son has a liking for McDonald's chicken nuggets. And I have a liking for changing the lyrics to songs. So, I must say that I enjoy listening to him singing his version of "Down with the McNess," by Disturbed.

Vaccines and Politics

Recently, when I was editing my book "Covid Time," for the last time before publishing, I couldn't help but notice all of the crazy things that we as a people have been through--especially since the pandemic. So I was kind of lost in thought, when a co-worker was talking about having covid during a virtual meeting. I offhandedly said "at least it's not killing people the way it was originally--I think due to the vaccine." The supervisor, who referred to COVID-19 as "The Big C," (which is a reference to cancer in my world) expertly moved away from the issue, and I couldn't help but think I had made a stupid political faux pas. Lost in thought about everything we've been through, and all the people we have lost, and all of the stupid political decisions that had been made on both sides, it slipped my mind how politically charged the whole idea of vaccination has become. Science cannot be talked about any longer, because of a faction on the political right, just as realistic discussion about race is impossible with a certain faction on the political left, because of cancel culture. We no longer have the freedom of speech that has long been part of our society. Perhaps you won't go to jail for it just yet. But as we become more fascist and money and power keep going into fewer and fewer hands, who knows? What I do know, is this abandonment of the science that has been proven for two centuries now, is a scary and destructive trend.

I turned on the classic cartoon channel this morning and was not disappointed! After an episode of Klondike Kat, I was treated to Rudy Giuliani playing the villain on an Underdog episode!
