I find it interesting that right wing nutters who spent much of the past few decades railing against the content of books, movies and magazines and demanding censorship of literature and artwork are now staunch first amendment advocates when it comes to h**e mongers like Colter or Milo Yiannopoulos. Theses cranks would be the first to line up with torches and pitchforks if their local museum had a show of Robert Maplethorps photographs or Andres Serranos "Piss Christ". Hypocrites to the core.

Right at this time it is a tossup There is a reasonable chance that the "left" will prevail simply because they give away free lollipops and other thumb-sucking toys. But then on the other hand (always use your right one) Americans will wake up and revert back to the moral and self-supporting values that made this once great nation 'great again" This is the primary reason that our current POTUS was elected. You may or not like him, but at this point in time, he is the best we have. Wake up folks and avoid the rantings coming from the 'naysayers'.

Trump: "We will build a great wall and Mexico will pay for it..!"
Nieto: "Uh... no we won't."
Trump: "OK, the American Taxpayers will PAY for it!!! I will make sure it's in the budget"
Dems: "Uh... we're not going to spend their tax money on a stupid wall, sorry."
Trump: "But, I'm the greatest deal maker in the world!"
Dems: "'doesn't look that way to us."
Trump: "FINE! I'll ask my supporters to pay for it then."

...It's ironic how a few months ago the Trump supporters were so sure they were going to get all the laughs and now it seems like the opposite is true. Heck, if I knew we could get someone in to clean up the mess afterward I would say we should just let these people choose the president once every three terms, just for the comic relief. LOL.

I admit, I was concerned for a while that Trump's e******n could have been disastrous, and in many ways it is, but for the last few months I've been realizing that Trump's shallowness, self-obsession and complete lack of a working agenda makes him about as dangerous as a hand-held sparkler on the 4th of July. And when a right-wing terrorist murdered a young woman in Charlottesville it became clear that the most dangerous part of Trump's presidency isn't his administration but the ignorant bigots that supported him whenever he suggested some form of state-sponsored attack on non-w***e A******ns.

Now, this picture is becoming even more clear now that Trump made that "great" deal with Shummer and Pelosi, where DACA will get support going into Congress and funding for the wall will be put on the shelf. Now the rabid right is turning on the two-bit real estate developer who should never have even tried to be a president of a country.

Ann Coulter, probably one of the most annoying trolls America has ever seen, is infuriated with the moron calling him the worst deal maker ever, this after writing a book about how wonderful Trump is. LOL... Indeed, my feeds are swelling with pissed off statements from the rabid right and for the first time, we are able to see a separation between "blondie" (as my mother calls him) and the seething alt-right and we can now get a better picture of what's going on...

I won't make the same mistake of putting ALL Trump supporters in the same bag, since someone last week pointed out that I was being unfair to those who support him for other reasons besides his anti-immigrant rhetoric (honestly I can't imagine what other reasons there could possibly be but wh**ever...) So I will just say that considering the responses I've seen from his own base, it would appear that a significant share of Trump supporters are frustrated with his apparent weakness on anti-immigration. It's becoming clear that there really isn't anything else about Trump that they value... They just thought he was going to keep all the immigrants out.

So, here's my message to those people...

It ain't gonna happen. The immigrants are going to keep coming and yes, they are going to change America, hopefully for the better. I see it everyday in the tech industry, which is almost entirely dominated by highly educated and highly motivated immigrants ...and that's nothing new. What we call "American Ingenuity" has ALWAYS been the American commercialization of imported genius... It's part of the melding process that makes America the global leader that it is. To say "Let's make America Great Again" while trying to block out the immigrants is like trying to be healthy by shooting yourself in the head.

I can't argue with that. The e******n was, for me, about the Supreme Court. We don't need another Constitutional ignorant Justice on the Supreme Court, interpreting American law using European precedents. We need "STRICT CONSTRUCTIONISTS" to interpret the Constitution. It is NOT a living document, it is written in stone and means what is written. If you don't like what it says, call a Constitutional Convention. That is the ONLY method allowed to modify what is written. That document is what has made this country what it is. Without it we are like the United States of Europe.


Semper Fi

First this is my first post. Have been reading other post for quite some time. Thought it may be time to share my two cents.
About me, semi retired farmer, served in the Navy 70-74. Three cruises to Nam. Over my young adult life to current I have been involved in or have viewed some very interesting things that most would not even think was the norm.
In my opinion, one of the first thing one needs to do, is have a understanding of why events have happened the way they have. So to get this understanding a good book to read is "Misinformation" written by an ex KGB agent found on Amazon if one would like to purchase

Disinformation: Former Spy Chief Reveals Secret Strategies for Undermining Freedom, Attacking Religion, and Promoting Terrorism

The highest-ranking Soviet bloc intelligence official ever to defect to the West, Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa is at it again. A quarter century ago, in his international bestseller Red Horizons, Pacepa exposed the massive crimes and corruption of his former boss, Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, giving the dictator a nervous breakdown and inspiring him to send assassination squads to the U.S. to find his former spy chief and k**l him. They failed. On Christmas Day 1989, Ceausescu was executed by his own people at the end of a trial whose accusations came almost word-for-word out of Red Horizons. Today, still living undercover in the United States, the man credited by the CIA as the only person in the Western world who single-handedly demolished an entire enemy espionage service--the one he himself managed--takes aim at an even bigger target: the exotic, widely misunderstood but still astonishingly influential realm of the Russian-born science of disinformation. Indeed, within these pages, Pacepa, along with his co-author, historian and law professor Ronald Rychlak, expose some of the most consequential yet largely unknown disinformation campaigns of our lifetime. The rest of the excerpt is on the Amazon page about the book

The first few chapters really rang home with me. Found it really interesting how someone could write about our current events, many years prior to them happening

09/13/2017 A Poem for the Day . . .

Where will it end: A Bright New Day

Kick in that marble headstone, for he wore a coat of grey.
He has no right to rest in peace upon our bright new day.
Dismantle that old statue; for he battled for the south.
And don't you stand against us, either join or shut your mouth.


Knock down that bloody obelisk; you know he owned a s***e;
and dump his wretched remnants deep inside an unmarked grave.
The bearded top hat fellow, blow him up and knock him down.
The Navajo will tell you that he scorched their sacred ground.


The one that wore a wheelchair, let us purge him from the earth,
His new deal was internment for the sin of Asian birth.
And every war memorial is next upon our list.
For the innocent collateral demands they not exist.


Blow up that Black Hills mountain, as we feel the rush no more;
for a roughish riding monger k*****g Spaniards by the score.
The other peddled genocide against the native Sioux,
and bondage is the stain upon the loathsome other two.


Rip up the iron railway from our sea to shining sea.
The Chinaman was chattel, as he toiled slavishly.
Incinerate the White House, and then bury its remains;
for some of its construction was completed wearing chains.


There is no rest until our noble cause is finally through.
And that is when we burn the f**g adorned with red and blue.
And now that we are at it, let us cross the briny sea,
and topple every monument where righteous disagree.


The Roman Colosseum, for the Christians that would bleed.
The Arc de Triomphe glorifies a tyrant's bloody greed.
The Taj Mahal for celebrating  executed kin.
The tower up in London for the torture held within.


We shall tear down Chichen Itza for its human sacrifice.
The Vatican for patriarchal view of paradise …
And all the German buildings that were built before the war.
And every Ancient fortress that still stands upon a shore.


The Pyramids an edifice to power over serf.
The China Wall a r****t, xenophobic love of turf.
The world is full of evil, we shall right it with our force. 
And everyone is guilty ...

Well, except for us of course.
