Washinton Post Headline Op-Ed On SCOTUS As Vacuous And Empty As Interstellar Space


I have to say, the Washington Post description of the Supreme Court's latest term is one horse-drawn buggy full of Amish manure. Can you belief the headline? "Ignoring speed bumps" they are calling it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/07/02/supreme-court-term-roundup-conservative-majority/

It is equivalent to an article on the outbreak of the Civil War being headlined, "Sectional Friction Leads To Trial Separation of US States." Or, "German Jews Experiencing Life-Style Changes Since Kristallnacht."  

This is why I rarely read this mealy-mouthed ad-pandering poop sheet, with their counterproductive balance and objectivity, which slices the guts out of the living history we are experiencing in these dangerous times. Yeah, tell us all about "Speed bumps." 

How about a Supreme Court "which runs over their wheelchair bound neighbor with their Lexus SUV, and continues backing up over them and forward again to make sure they are dead?"  Anyone who dismisses this comparison as hyperbole is invited to attend my upcoming class series called "Drunk Proctology," a practical guide for coping with anxiety while having your head up your sigmoid.

This WaPo article is an example of what is wrong with the liberal news media in the age of Trump. They are more concerned with the "optics" of appearing non-partisan and measured than in covering reality, so as not to sound extreme. Consequently, they publish watered down goop, not even fit for a "neighborhood watch" monthly newsletter reporting on where you can recycle your empty cans of paint. (With the exception of when they serialize bombshell books by certain authors who won't be "watered down.)"

The lack of a seriously intentioned opposition press is one of our worst weaknesses. They are mostly timid to the point of absurdity. I've written about this before. The opposition press is hedging their bets just in case Trump comes back to power, and they don't want to upset him too much. "He may be a threat to our existence, but he sells, let's not burn our bridges" is the unstated belief. 

Sorry for my little rant here. I saw the headline and tried to throw my tablet out the window, but it was plugged in and charging at the time.

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 ...
