 Today's Edition of Random Thoughts, Feb. 24, 2021

The Stupid Headline Edition--
1. "Trump May Soon Have To Answer Rape Allegations Under Oath"--
Oh boy, we've really got him now. The guy who dodged prosecutions for fraud and discrimination for 50 years, was trained by Roy Cohn, who told 30,000 lies in four years as President, is somehow going to collapse and fall apart on the witness stand like the guilty one at the end of every Perry Mason episode. Yeah, this case will be the one that does it.
2. "Tucker Carlson Suggests QAnon Doesn't Exist, Because He Can't Find Their Website"--
Wow, this one is a doozy. This is the guy who has been blaming a non-existent organization, also with no Website, Antifa, for everything from the Lincoln Assassination to the "Heartbreak of Psoriasis", in line with the programming of his Orange Slime Dominant from Mar-a-Lago. Apparently Carlson is an heir to the Swanson TV Dinner fortune. Why doesn't he do us all a favor, and Microwave himself for 4 minutes. And not forget to poke holes in himself first.
3. "QAnon Shaman Seeks Release After Organic Foods cause Digestive Issues"--
I have several responses to this. I can't write any of them. It's too gross. Even for me.
4. "Liz Cheney Says It Needs To Be Made Clear, The GOP Is Not The Party of White Supremacy"--
Really? C'mon Liz. 199 Republicans out of 210 in the House gave a standing "O" to Marjorie "Tantra" Greene, and voted No to removing her from her Committee posts. What? These guys are going to "make clear" where they stand on race by joining hands and singing "We Shall Overcome" and wearing BLM T-Shirts to work? Give me a break.
5. "Security Officials Say Poor Intelligence Contributed to Jan 6 Riot"--
Okay, yes, there were a number of "people" of poor Intelligence who spoke at the rally to incite the riot. But otherwise, the then "Inciter-in-Chief ran a security stripping operation to misdeploy and disarm the National Guard, so his Stormtroopers could go ahead with what everyone in the fucking Universe knew they would do, including these Buck passers and cover-up artists who lied their faces off yesterday.
6. "Former Senator Perdue Retracts This Week's Announcement of Candicacy vs. Sen. Warnock Day After Mar-a-Lago Meeting With Trump".--
I guess that like his namesake, Perdue is a real "Tender Chicken". He certainly got "stuffed" this week. Oh well, they can always use Caddies at the Golf Club.
7. "Supreme Court Allows Release of Trump Tax Records To NY Prosecutor"--
All I can say is that it's a good thing for Trump that he has so many ties to "Big Oil". He's gonna need a lot of lubricant where he's going.
8. "Ted Cruz Blames Attacks on His Flight To Cancun on 'Trump Withdrawal'.--
Fine, Cruz wants to argue that the political equivalent of being released from a locked closet, filled with Rats, daily beatings, and starvation leads to "withdrawal", then yeah, that's what I have. I'm withdrawing from Hell.
9. "Cowboys' Jerry Jones Once Compared NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement Negotiations to Owls Having Sex With Chickens"--
Ahem, now that solves a big mystery. Now I know why his buddy Trump was so quick to "withdraw" from WHO. (ugh, sorry. I'm better than this.)
10. "Trump Made 1.6 Billion While President, According To Disclosures"--
Good for him, he will need every nickel of it to buy Cigs and Cellphones for his Prisonmates, and makeup to match his face with his new outfit.
Til Tomorrow...

Today in History, July 17, 1918- Czar of Russia and Family Executed

Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. Today in History, July 17, 1918, Execution of the Romanovs, the Czar and Czaritsa of Russia and their Children by the Soviet Government. By July 1918, Russia was engulfed in a hellish civil war which would cost millions of lives and damage a country already reeling from the devastation of World War I. Swept away in this hellfire was the old Tsarist monarchy, last headed by Nicholas II. Nicholas had abdicated in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept through the nation. Since then he had been a prisoner of successive governments, first the Provisional Government and then the administration run by Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The Romanovs were shipped from place to place, eventually coming to Yekaterinburg in April, in the Urals, an area known for its hard Communist sympathies. As the White Russian forces grew closer, Lenin and his associates ordere...

Milton Friedman- The Man Who Revived Fascist Economics, and Called It "Freedom".

Image
  You may have heard the name before, as he was featured in a PBS Series, titled "Free To Choose", also the title of his most famous and misnamed book. He was a prolific author, and widely publicized by Conservative News Media and Magazines, especially by the followers of William F. Buckley. In fact, Milton Friedman is the current top economic advisor to the so-called "movement conservatives", from Nixon to Reagan, to Newt Gingrich and Trumpworld,  and is still to this day the main architect of the GOP approach to dealing with the present economic crisis, though he has been keeping a low profile. A very low profile. In fact, six feet under. He is currently dead, and has been for 14 years, yet his horrific philosophy continues to stalk about, haunting us like the living dead animated by a Voodoo curse, burning live Chickens, chanting incantations, and propitiating the irrational forces of Britain's Adam Smith and his "Invisible Hand". (Which is the hand...

How Do You Know If What You Are Reading Is True Or Useful? - A One Year Old Facebook Post

Image
 How do we know whether what we are reading is true, or for that matter useful? There are many journalists in the US today who are not only excellent writers, but are just good people. They are well informed, have the best intentions and are highly professional.  I have to force myself to write, and it comes with great difficulty because I am blocked, and had little journalistic training. Without an editor I feel lost, and feel as though I want to rewrite everything or throw it out after I read it. Reading books and articles is my favorite hobby, and when I'm doing that I am in my happy place.  As of now I have 30 News and Magazine sites bookmarked and I read them everyday as a routine. I usually read anywhere from 2-10 articles in each, depending upon what newsworthy events are breaking that day. Plus I have a number of books on history that I have going at any one time. This is no big accomplishment or unique, it's just how I occupy my time and is my form of work these ...
