ISOLATIONISM: Is a political philosophy advocating a foreign policy that opposes involvement in             the political affairs, and especially the wars of other countries. 

The above definition is a recap of a previous post. It was relevant then as it still is now. Our 'Commander in Thief', tRump the incompetent, has nearly completed his, until now, undying quest in painting our nation into an isolationists corner which post tRump may take decades, if ever, to crawl out of into the light of virtual day. This infantile, panty pooping, war mongering child king, has single handedly, and yes of course not without the help of his brain washed, moronic cult members who are attached to his royal arse like lampreys on a whale's butt, managed to pry open 'pandoras box' of horrors and unleashed the dogs of hell that are now running rampant throughout the world, destroying all in their path, even turning on themselves, in their rampage of destruction. This brainless fool who fancies and fronts himself as the world's best example of a self-elected madman has alienated America from the rest of the world, attacked verbally or physically each and every one of our long-standing allies and has made a laughingstock of what pre tRump was the strongest, proudest and most respected, even by our enemies, nation on the planet. He has shattered NATO which he has always spoken out against, destroyed the 'Rules of War', attacked a country without good reason and led America into a deadly war initiated by his very own hand, a war by the way that America has no chance of 'winning', and has caused the deaths of more American soldiers that he is willing to admit to as well as the wounding of at least 400 other soldiers, the destruction of mega billions of dollars' worth of US Military assets and nearly every US military base in the Arabian Peninsula, and managed by his 'war manager' 'Pete the blunderer' to virtually deplete America's offensive and defensive arsenal to the point of now leaving America a militarily weak nation. He HIMSELF, not Iran, is responsible for the tragic and totally unnecessary and senseless deaths and woundings of our military members! The actual true numbers of all this will be kept top secret for years and decades to come.  If America was forced into a 3rd world war type of situation it is conceivable that America would now have to use nuclear weapons in defense which would of course result in other nations with like capabilities to revert to the same destructive use.  And now, once again tRump is pandering to and sucking up to one of the worlds most brutal dictators in North Korea, Kim Jong Un, praising his warm relationship and claiming that kim has been respectful and unthreatening towards him. tRump has always sucked up to dictators hopping that their 'greatness' might rub off on himself.   Pandoras Box of horrors once opened, cannot be closed. 

 tRump and his enabling cult members are not finished by a long shot. He and they are busy destroying the 'Rule of Law' in America. tRumps personal so called 'Supreme' Court is at his beck and call. The DOJ and ICE is his personal 'army' whose thuggery knows no end and those who even verbally protest can and have been arrested and charged with outrageous 'crimes' against the government. The right to peacefully protest and the right to Freedom of Speech have had a 'cold wet blanket' of fear thrown over it to chill the enthusiasm of those who would otherwise legally voice their opinions. He is busy attacking our legal and effective voting process to suit his own corrupt version in order to channel votes his way and threatens to seize ballet box's and threatens anarchy should he not be re-elected.  Anyone who thinks this is not taking place has simply not been keeping up with factual news or simply living in a dreamworld. I, myself, wish this were not true, but it could not be more so, and as long as tRump and his minions are in office, and backed and protected by his faithful, brain washed cult members, it will continue to be so. As he once proclaimed, "you aint seen nothing yet".

"The Bear and The Rabbit"

 "The Bear and The Rabbit" by Don Black May 2026

    Once upon an undefined time, a gruffy brown bear and a fluffy white rabbit met nose to nose on a narrow mountain trail, and now eye to eye neither scarcely dared to blink. "I am 'Queen Bellableu', the ferocious and very hungry 'Queen of The Mountains! How dare you venture onto, and block my trail little rabbit, I shall now have you for my breakfast", growled the hungry Queen. "Oh, how very opportune for you your majesty", replied the rabbit. "For I am 'Chic Bunny', the 'Wish Giver Rabbit', and I came to give you two wishes of your very own". "Oh yes!" said the Queen Bear, "two wishes...gosh, I wish I knew what to wish for...wait! Now I know! I'd wish to have a true forever friend!" Now, thinking quickly and not wanting to be on the Queen's breakfast menu, and knowing that the rule of the forest is that forever friends do Not eat one another, Chic Rabbit replied, "This is your lucky day Queen Bellableu, for I, Chic Bunny, shall be your true forever friend". And now, with both of Queen Bellableu's wishes granted, and both still hungry, they ventured of together in search of a suitable berry patch for breakfast, and Chic Bunny was Not on the menu.

The moral here is you don't have to be faster than the bear, you just simply have to be smarter.   

A MEDAL of SHAME For THE KING

    Our 'Commander In Idiocy' wonders out loud to his likewise idiot cult members if he should award himself the Congressional Medal of Honor because, Afterall, he Has been such a brave war commander where he has, in his own feeble mind, stopped at least eight wars, working on his nineth the current one he himself started,  all of which makes him his own little warrior hero.  So, sure why not. That's a question Not a statement. But let's dare slip on our hazmat suit and dive into this fetid human dumpster for a moment and see for ourselves just what this want to be hero has done to deserve such a sacred honor. (ok, be warned, this is a bit long in reading)

    In his sordid first 100 days in office for instance, (feel free to pull up Congressman Steve Cohen, Tn, web page for a complete listing of tRumps heroics), tRump has;  Among the major Executive Orders in his first year in office, Trump has imposed, adjusted, canceled and revised tariffs on imported goods, increasing their costs to consumers. In December, Trump signed Executive Orders: On December 15, Designating Fentanyl as a “Weapon of Mass Destruction”. On December 11, Undermined the state regulation of Artificial Intelligence and AI-generated content. In September, Trump signed Executive Orders: On September 25, Permitted TikTok to Operate Despite Congressional Ban. On September 19, established the $1 million “Gold Card” visa for foreign nationals. On September 5, “Restored” the name of the Department of War as an alternative to the Department of Defense. In August, Trump signed Executive Orders: On August 28, to Make Federal Architecture “Beautiful Again”. On August 25, to Prosecute American Flag Desecration. On August 11, Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia. In July, Trump signed Executive Orders: On July 23, “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government” On July 17, Creating Schedule G federal employee classification, potentially politicizing the civil service. In May, Trump signed Executive Orders: On May 1, establishing the Religious Liberty Commission and ending federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). In April, Trump signed Executive Orders: On April 9, to establish “acceptable water pressure in showerheads”. On April 4, extending the TikTok enforcement delay. In March, Trump signed Executive Orders: On March 27, to restore “Truth and Sanity” to American History. On March 6, establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile. On March 1, designating English as the “Official Language” of the United States. In a variety of policy initiatives, Trump took action in the early days of his administration. Democracy & Privacy, Stripping Power from Independent Regulatory Agencies.    Of course, that's just a smidgen of 'heroic' actions tRump has slapped America and the whole world in the face with. There's not enough room here to list everything. But I must list a few recent additions to his wall of shame. let's see now, he 'bravely' led an illegal incursion into the sovereign nation of Venezuela and kidnapped that nations President, created his very own federal police force, 'Immigration and Customs Enforcement' ICE to deport thousands of law-abiding immigrants who sought a better way of life in America while at the same time terrorizing and murdered American citizens. And let's not forget the current war which he calls "an incursion" with Iran where because of, untold thousands of innocent souls have been killed across the Middle Eastern countries while at the same time putting America's economy along with the world in general into a freefall. He has caused the needless deaths of at least 13 American service members and the wounding of over 400 so far. Again, we could go on and on and on counting tRumps 'heroic' actions as our 'Commander in Idiocy' as he continues to rack up his self-serving accolades as to why he should award himself with a medal for his heroic and dastardly evil deeds. So, by all means lets help him receive his very own 'Congressional Medal of Shame' to hand around his turkey neck and lock it there and toss the key and may he forever wallow with his brainless minions in his very own putrid dumpster. 

'PETER' The PULP FICTION BULLSHITTER

    Lord, I come to you as a certified card-carrying, prophesizing, fanatical bible thumping white nationalist war monger, oh, and I am your biggest fan. I ask you in our president's holy name to Please don't let him fire me! I think I'm on his 'short shit list' Lord! But here, let me get right down to the point. Let me quote a few bible verses that will inspire our military crusaders in their, well, mostly my own, religious quest to conquer our enemies, burn their villages where sin is running amuck, smite their blasphemous leaders, break their teeth, bomb their schools, and make them eat sand, you know, stuff like that.  

   'Let us not be tempted to blunder through the sand dunes of darkness without our issued flashlights so that we can find the lost children and save them from errant missiles that may 'accidentally' fall upon their scruffy little heads while they sit in their classrooms. For your rod and staff guides us, especially when it gets dark and scary when things go Boo in the night. Let your vengeance and anger be our own so that our bullets strike the very hearts of evil doers, and people like that. Let us not put our tails between our legs and be defeated by those turbans headed sacrilegious monsters that drop drones upon our un-prepared heads but lift us up out of the sand pits of hell, and to victory we shall march. Onward Christion soldiers, marching off to a religious war, for we know that if you're not busy with some other senseless war that thou art with us no matter how many innocent nations we must destroy in your name lord. For I humbly ask and beseech thee on lord in the great beyond, to smite our present enemies and those surely yet to come and to guide our temporary president to fulfill his quest, whatever it may be at any given moment, and to show him the way of righteousness and to be the greatest self-appointed ruler, next to myself of course, of all mankind, of all nations, air and sea alike. All this I beg you in the name of our exalted leader, myself, and all of our brainless cult members that keep us in office'. 

'Insignificant Man' Cancels $11 Million Catholic Charities Contract In tiff with The Pope

      Oh yeah, you, you, you beanie cap wearing, pontificating, insubordinate busy body! Take That! Now see what you made me do! Waaaa! Where's my peter at!?  Peter, see what that guy made me do? I bet I can find some other things to kill besides innocent people!  I don't like that pope guy one bit. Not one bit. He was mean to me and hurt my little boy feelers. I think I peed a little bit. Peter, it's your turn to tuck me in my crib tonight, J.D.'s not very good at it and his makeup scares the heebie-jeebies' out of me. He uses more make-up than some people say I use. Don't you just hate liars? I sure do. And I bet you do too. There's a special place in hell for people who tell lies all the time! Maybe I'll fire him, or maybe I did? I don't know, maybe next week. I really love firing people.  I'm gonna make the pope guy so sorry he'll cry all the way to his ugly, cheap fake gold throne! Can I fire Him??  Do we have an extra Aircraft Carrier that's not being used right now peter? Boy, I bet if he saw that thing parked in his back yard, he would just grovel at my stinky feet, which by the way, I would still let him wash my tiny little feet, but he better stay down There and do a good job! Good jobs are what I'm known for. I really like doing good jobs with my little boy hands. Good hand jobs make people really happy.  J.D. thanks me all the time! I like happy, satisfied people. But that's just me.  But mostly I just let my cult members do the dirty work which keeps My hands lily white clean.  That's why white people love me. I do nice things for rich people. Jesus loves me too. He said I can pretend to be him any time I wish. I really like playing Jesus. Everyone wishes I could really be Jesus. Pretty soon they'll actually believe that I Am! Did you see my picture with him? I looked very handsome snugging up to Jesus. Boy, I bet that useless money grabbing Catholic Charities is gonna be surprised when they try to cash a check! Why do people have to be so greedy and mean? Money isn't everything in life! Right? Actually, I'm more famous than the pope. I bet I have more cult members than he does! Catholic Charities can thank their guru for an empty bank account now. I bet they'll be real mad at him for dissing me.  Why can't they be more like Me, then people would like them, you know, the way they like me. 

RELOAD! RELOAD! Jesus is on Our side!

   RELOAD! RELOAD! Jesus is on Our side!

    The "Art of the deal" maker, infantile wanna-be king tRump orders his personal navel flotilla to "reload the ships", it ain't over yet boys, we're gonna give'em hell like they have never seen before. How dare they try to intimidate and threaten me! There' nothing worse than a fool that terrorizes the whole world! Shame! Shame! Ohhh they're gonna be sooo sorry! Really big sorry! I pray that Jusus kills them all! They'll run out of bombs before we do, right peter boy? Peter? Where the hell are you!?? J.D., check his powder room and get his Primadonna butt out here! I need somebody that can tell a lie with a straight face!    I'm here your highnAss! Sorry about that, had to change my big boy pullups. How can I please you master? Have you seen my macho abs? I make GI Joe look like a female Clinton!    Ah, Peter, tell my serfs just how well my little "excursion" into Iran is going. Well, your majesty, it's almost over. We have them on the run. White flags fluttering everywhere. Their navy is at the bottom of the sea, their Airforce pulverized into aluminum dust, their missile capability nearly extinct, no one is brave enough to lead their dusty nation, capitulation talks in progress, they agree to turn over all their natural recourses to you my lord, imagine what we can do with all that sand!, the blockade is 'very' effective, just as projected by your holiness, not a single boat has managed to sneak past us, every nation on earth has been more than pleased with your holy guidance, praise be to your majesty! Only somewhere over 400 careless American soldiers, an insignificant number, have been slightly injured, mostly just tiny little scratches, not like those horrible injuries incurred in Ukraine from those dastardly attack drones, which by the way hardly bother us at all, and maybe 'around' 13 Americans killed, mostly due to careless training events of course. Those Iranians are 'really' very bad shots I might add. Of course, I've lost count of military Air assets we have lost mostly due, again mostly due to careless pilots showing off. All our troops are having a lot of fun, sorta like a Mediterranean cruise. They one and all praise your holy likeness, and I have instructed that your holy imminence likeness be posted in every latrine which certainly boosts moral to an odiferous high. Will that be all your majesty, I really need to pump out some bedroom pushups.     Great job peter! I could take some straight face lessons from that guy, and how about that snappy hairdo! What a guy! I wish I could be more like him!

CIRCLE THE WAGONS BOYS!

     Circle the wagons boys, circle the wagons!!! These dirt-poor, poor 'defenseless' bastards have us surrounded, not to be mistaken for 'surrendered' mind you. Because no matter what happens, "we win" because as we all 'know', even a loss for Me is a win! I never lose!   Hey Pete! Get a bunch of ships from somewhere and blockade that damn strait before the rest of the world can get their greedy, sinfully lustful hands, damn them all, on all that oil that is ours by force! We got here first and if I have to pound Iran into finer dust than it currently is, then with Jesus on our side, and by the way did you see my picture while I was 'pretending to be Jesus?, actually though I was 'really' pretending to be a 'doctor' healing the sick and neglected. But that's just Me. That's what I do. Really. Believe me, it will all be ours in hardly any time at all, well maybe a little later, maybe next week or maybe a month at the most, but sooner or later, whichever comes first.

  And so here we are with tRump, and his just as mindless cult minions failing to make Iran yell 'Uncle' contrary to his demanding that they "unconditionally surrender", trying out another, likely as useless, tact at making Iran throw in the towel and become prostate at his souled feet. Apparently, he's not satisfied with the US causalities yet, "Blockade the strait", don't let any ship pass without yelling 'mother may I'! Of course, sooner or later either China, Russia, India, or even one of our wisely moving away from us, Allies, will decide that, enough of this pretending to be a king crap little Mr. 'art of the deal' maker, we are going to escort our oil tankers through the US 'blocked' Hormuz Strait with our own Naval escorts. Then what? tRump said that he will fire on "any ship" that tries to run the blockade. And, if he Does fire on one of those nations' warships, and of course he is dumbass enough to think he could get away with it, what then? Remember, 'It's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission', which he seems to live by. It appears that American citizens are on the sloooowww side of reality when it comes to being fed up with the senseless antics of an infantile moron that has, and still is, bully the whole world with his desire to be not only be the 'king' of America, but of the king of the world in general. How is it possible that everyone but Americans can see how terrible tRump is at pretending to be a human being while he goes about making his own laws in contradiction of America's 'Rule of Law', causing thousands of deaths worldwide in his quest for even more power, stealing oil and other natural recourses while attacking other countries, kidnapping a President of another country, threatening to annihilate whole populations of another country if he does not get his crybaby way, destroying, with help from his personal 'Supreme Court', America's Constitution, Freedom of protest and freedom of speech, forming his own personal 'army' of Ice Agents to terrorize Americans and immigrants seeking a better way of life. (That might have been the longest sentence you've ever tried to read) Will Americans Ever wake up and see the light? Will Americans finally also become fed up with his insanity and force him out of office? Well, there's little sign of that as yet. The "No Kings" protests are impressive yet seemingly ineffective so far. What more horrible things does king tRump really have to do to finally make Americans kick the 'king' out for good before he totally destroys our Nation and takes the world with it?  It looks like we'll just sit back and wait and see. And wait,..and wait.....and wait.

The Battle of The Holy Poopers

   Holy Pope poop! Would ya look at That!! Who could've guessed!     The infant king is having a 'pissing contest' with Jesus's right-hand dude!  I can pee further than you can, why, I can pee like you've never seen before! Nobody has ever seen anything like it! Even elephants have conceded that I can do it better and further than any living thing on earth, 'said' the infant king. Oh yeah!? Well, my throne is bigger than Your throne, and besides, many people stand in line just to wash my Popely feet, 'said' the Pope. Stop trying to upstage me or you'll be really big sorry like you never been sorry before, replied the infant king. Ha! Maybe if you stopped causing innocent people to die, the living ones might find something to like about you, 'countered' the pope.  Oh Really!!? Maybe if you stayed in your slow lane and stopped pretending to be a politician and...and..uh..oh yeah, stop pretending to be Jesus 'cause everybody knows you're Not, then maybe I'd invite you to come to my house and play with my barbies, and besides, my followers know that I'm the closest thing to being Jesus that they ever saw, because I save people and make them feel better, that's why I'm so popular and you're hardly known to anyone, snickered the infant king.   And so it went, tit for tat, tat for tit, as they each tried to upmanship one another. Frequent potty breaks took place while the infant king had his big boy nappies changed by his personal nappy attendant, peter-peter the nappy eater, and while the pope scurried about looking for something he could call a holy freakin' miracle that would keep him points ahead of the infant king. But finally, it was nap time for the infant king which instead of, he would take to his personal social media site to see what's going on with his little bombing 'excursion' into Iran, and the holy pope pooper set out on his world tour of, yep, you guessed it, looking for miracles and foot washers.

Notice to First amendment torchers; The above is purely 'fictionable', yes that's a newly made-up word so get over it already, and any resemblance to any living or dead person including ghosts, goblins or things that go BOO! in the dark is simply coincidental. 

ISOLATIONISM

                                                                                                                                                                        ISOLATIONISM: Is a political philosophy advocating a foreign policy that opposes involvement in             the political affairs, and especially the wars of other countries. 

  During "Art of The Deal" makers first run for the Office of The White House I cautioned then that America was headed for an awakening if tRump gained the Office of President. I produced a blog wherein I cut his majesty and his mini-me cult followers no slack.  Then, when blind, empty headed tRumpers stupidly voted their false messiah in as President, a waisted vote which they all thought they were giving to someone they 'thought' would save their lazy souls and set them free from debt, but in the end, they have discovered that no one can save them from themselves. tRump sold them 'snake oil' all the while grooming them and promising fantastic but impossible miracles, but he couldn't even pull a rabbit out of a hat! But vote for him they did, and as he lied, deceived and spun wild tales of how he would get America out of debt, lower prices on domestic products, oh and most notably, keep America out of wars!  Fat chance of that of course. Absolutely None of his 'promises' have panned out. None. Zero. Nada!  Nothing he is able to utter from his soiled lips can be construed or be taken as the truth or reality. But I cautioned that this snake oil salesman would eventually turn the world against America and that he would endeavor to destroy NATO and treat our ally's like so must trash, all the while bent on turning our nation into a Isolationist country. Our former allies have turned inward and away from the USA due to lack of faith in our spasmatic and dysfunctional government. tRump still praises his bunk buddy Putin as a 'great nation building leader' and it seems that he fancies himself as a mini-me Putin mind slave. 

  And now during tRump's second term and having learned lessons during his first term on how to ignore America's 'Rule of Law', as well as our heretofore 'sacred' Constitution, he has elevated himself to the position of a quasi-American Dictator, and political cult leader, to the point that he is practically untouchable. He appears to strive to be the best dictator America has ever suffered. He refuses to obey court orders, even from the not so 'Supreme' Court, knowing that nothing can be done by Anyone to bring him to task for all the misery he has created not only in America but in the whole world in general.  Now, upon America attacking Iran, and then Iran retaliating against nearly every middle eastern state that they deem as an enemy, including Isreal, tRump is now lashing out at our allies because they did not materially help in tRump's and Isreal's illegal attack on another country. Imagine That! Wiser heads of states deciding that they don't have a dog in tRump's illegal fight. He complains that NATO did not assist and so America does not need NATO in the first place. And not so surprising America is virtually handcuffed to Isreal to the point where tRump dances to any tune that Isreal plays for tRump's enjoyment even to the point of condoning and assisting with war material, in Israels ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians, and any others that Isreal deems as an enemy. He has almost to the point of no return, managed to single handedly painted our Nation into an even darker corner where he will surely turn America into the isolationist nation that he has worked so hard at accomplishing.  Unless the 25th Amendment is successful in removing him from office, then he will have three more long and devastating years in which he can, and obviously will, if his current and past record is of any measure, continue to destroy our Constitution, our Democracy, our environment, and our children's futures as well as the world's economic health in general.  America does Not need any form of dictatorship; the world does not need another despot.    America needs the rest of the world to be able to survive in this unsettling environment, and the rest of the world needs America as a trusted partner not as a bully.  No truer words have ever been spoken; "United we stand, divided we fall".  No Nation can stand alone, not even our United States of America! Time will tell.

Praise The Lord and Pass The Butter

     Praise The Lord and Pass the Ammo!    

'Praise the lord, praise the lord our savior! Thank you god for helping us kill all those heathens, those cave dwelling, sinful Iranians,' 'says' tRumps war mongering, prophesizing little finger puppet Peter the giant killer. Thank goodness little peters god knew better than to take sides with those pesky Iranians!             So, let's see here, if his 'benevolent' god saw fit to kill who knows just how many Iranians in the name of the United States, then Who killed the 13 American soldiers and wounded over 300.  Did little peters god deem that those 13 American soldiers were too sinful to no longer draw a peaceful breath? And why did he choose 300 others to grievously injure? Does this mean that there are at least two (2) gods, a good one, plus a bad one working For America, and Against at the same time??  Wait! How can litter peter praise one and not the other?  But then, the Iranians have Their own god who apparently took up Their side of this war, and I guess they thank Him for killing Americans and other worthy blasphemes heathens. But who gets the blame for all the dead Iranians killed by America? But wait! The Israels themselves just happen to have Their own god that presumably sides with Them in their wars where untold thousands die in their quest of security and more land. Same questions here.  This Iranian fiasco, with no back door by the way, that tRump has impetuously led our nation into is looking more like "The War of The Gods"!  'My gods bigger than your god! My god can whip your gods ass!' 'Oh yeah! Just wait until I tell my god on you, you'll be sorry, I'll make him kill you!'  More lives, families, and nations have been utterly destroyed, slaughtered, tattered and torn due to Religion and Politics!

   In the end it comes down to a nation's 'leaders', who should know better, that are responsible for the slaughters. However, even They would not be able to dictate wars if the populace protested loudly and long enough against defective leadership at all levels of government. Figments of the imagination, superstition, imaginary ghosts and gods, and goblins are not going to kill Anything. It's when evil, greedy humans who bend and twist both religion and politics to fit their own agendas, that start wars, and the killing begins. 

   "CEACE FIRE! CEASE FIRE"! Cried the 'Infant' king! "The enemy of our enemies have had enough of my illegal blustering and bustering!" "I have practically bombed them into the last stone age with my mighty fleet of missiles, (of which we are nearly out of anyway) bombs, and brain numbing threats. Our job is almost done boys, now let's grab a pocket full of oil and let's get the hell outta here before they attack us again! Let the rest of the world clean up my mess! We'll come back later and collect their oil and enriched uranium stockpiles. The hell with that damned Hormuz Strait, I mean who the hell needs it in the first place, but they can stand no more, and besides, I'm almost out of bombs and missiles, and I gotta save some for maybe Cuba, or well, maybe Canada or California. We'll see. I'll call a two week cease fire while they repair their bomb bunkers and resupply their missile and drone stockpiles! Yeah!  This will prove just how kind, considerate and benevolent I can be when my back is against a sand dune. I am surely not only the self-anointed king of America but also the high and mighty king of intimidation and bluff. Sure, I, at the advice of my master at arms 'Warmonger Pete' said I should, and would, destroy Iran. But then, I thought of all those little children that 'little Peter' has killed, including the 156 school children that he killed with a single bomb, and those hungry, dusty and homeless children, eating nothing but dust, drinking nothing but their salty tears, why I almost got a little tear in one my Own eyes! And that's why I must pull up my little boy panties, put a slab of steak on my black eye, and call it a victory."

And so goes the 'Let's make a deal' Commander In Plunder as he concedes personal defeat in his latest 'bomb a country to dust' campaign, all the while strutting about like a prize turkey and claiming, "total and complete victory". (You know, sorta like when we called Viet Nam a 'victory'.)  "One hundred percent. No question about it" tRump said. But if you look at the 'Ten conditions for peace' that Iran has submitted that tRump must agree to, it's plain that tRumps "total victory" claim is simply a "victory" in favor of Iran. It seems that in tRumps cluttered and childish brain, losing a battle is as good as winning one.  And now after tRump has caused the needless deaths of at least 13 American soldiers, the wounding of at least three hundred more, ( there's little doubt that the true casualty numbers are being secreted away) the loss of multimillion dollars' worth of military assets and spending untold billions of   taxpayer dollars in a war that should not have happened, tRump reaches the end of his ability to threaten another country into dust. Of course, this toll does not count the thousands of other human casualties and destroyed petroleum facilities across the middle east that will take decades to repair. We can be certain though that 'The Terrible Dogs of War' that tRump released from Pandoras box have not been sated. They have simply taken up residence in tRumps empty head, waiting for their next victims. 

   Well, here we are mired ass deep in the bloody sand lots of Iran as the phony, deranged, egotistical "The Art of The Deal" maker, and his also deranged handpicked hypocritical, proselytizing, bloodthirsty 'War Chief' have pried open the lid of Pandoras Box, totally ignoring the warning sign, "DANGER! Know ye all who dare open this box of doom, the lid can Never be closed again, and the terrible dogs of war will devour all who foolishly enter!" And surely enough those "terrible dogs of war" have been set free to destroy all living things, and they care not whom they destroy, both the good, the bad, and the evil are their victims.  These brain idled fools are now washing their greedy hands in American soldier's blood, and the blood bath has just begun. Already over Three Hundred American troops have been wounded, and at least twelve, by the 'War Chiefs' count, but surely many more not admitted to as yet, are very much dead as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks. These will be just the tip of the bloody count to come as this needless war continues down its destructive path. If and when American boots hit the soul sucking quicksand of Iran, American body bags will run in short supply. And it's only a matter of time, quickly approaching reality, before an American naval ship is struck and likely destroyed. America has already lost at least 16 Military aircraft due to one cause or another, likely a 'short' count by the 'War Chief'. The true number of American troops killed and wounded in the end and lost and damaged military assets won't be revealed until the information is leaked by someone within the system. Remember Vietnam!? If their lips are moving, they are lying to cover their asses.

  The so called 'Deal Maker' and his war mongering 'War Chief' have carelessly thrown American troops into a deadly sand trap that America was not even nearly prepared to enter. Already we are running short of Tomahawk missiles to thwart enemy drones and missiles and now talk of diverting supplies destined for the defense of Ukraine is in the works.  They blindly ignored the mechanics and horrors of the drone war in Ukraine, even though Ukraine offered to train our troops in drone warfare but ignored by Hegseth, that has consumed over a Million soldiers, wounded and dead of  both Ukrainian and Russian soldiers where thousands are wounded and killed every single day of any given week, most of whom are such due to drone strikes.  All the while warmonger Hegseth, the so called 'War Chief', blatantly prays to his messiah for, "overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy", and for God to break "the teeth of the ungodly", and for God to, "pour out your wrath upon those who plot vain things". All the while the Iranians pray to Their messiah to destroy infidels. Just another 'War of the Gods'.  There's an old adage, "Be care what you ask for, you just might get it". Little does he realize that he has aimed his bloodthirsty words at he himself, and his mindless puppet master. If this illegal war continues, the war in Vietnam and the Afghan war will seem like a picnic in comparison.  Nothing bodes well when a fool goes on a foolish errand.  

      Of all the evil and disruptive things tRump has done to our Nation, he has also managed, inadvertently so, to reveal just how weak and fragile our Democracy, the 'Supreme' Court, our Judicial system, our so called 'Rule of Law', and our social cohesion during trying times, can be so easily torn asunder by a singular individual bent on becoming the world's epitome of a ruthless quasi-dictator masquerading as the president of America.  America has never, even during two World Wars and every conflict since, experienced times, this with the exception of the American Civil War, such as our nation is currently suffering through. He has single handedly, of course with the backing and protection of his hand-picked minions, and cult followers, fractured our Nations long standing fragile social cohesiveness, such as it was. And all this due to one singular egotistical, childness, and seemingly deranged, and obvious lawless madman, who knows no boundaries in his demented quest to show and prove himself to be the epitome of the world's 'greatest' untouchable strongman. He has lofted himself to the level of a quasi-dictator and cult leader whose blinded followers see in him as their official 'messiah', false as it surely is, sent from 'heaven' to save them from themselves, and they will defend him to the death no matter what crime's he commits or his daily bald faced lies he babbles while on his fools errands, even though they themselves suffer from his vindictive, self-centered and lawless quest for supreme power over America and the world in general.  The only other certified madman in recent world history to cause such evil, misery, and mayhem all around the world was Germany's Adolph Hitler. Luckily for mankind America was able to come together as a solidified unit to help the rest of the world defeat such a monster as Hitler. Luckily, tRump has not murdered millions of human lives but surely has caused the deaths of thousands in his quest to be the best dictator the world has ever seen and suffered.  But so far, America has failed miserably to put a solid stop to tRumps rampage of obvious insanity as he continues to be above the law while trashing our Nation and our Constitution and at the same time attacking other Nations needlessly and without authorization, starting a war in Iran and now deploying thousands of American soldiers as cannon fodder to the middle east, and trying to bully the whole world to bend a knee at his throne. Nothing good can become of this Iran war and will surely turn into a bloodbath for our Soldiers and Sailers and adversely affect our economy for decades to come.  The madman has managed to subvert the Law Enforcement Agency 'ICE', charged with Immigration Matters, into his personal police force which he uses to scour our nation for immigrants, the majority of whom are Not 'criminals' seeking a better life from their third world regimes, and to intimidate, and actually murder American's who legally protest such actions. tRump simply goes by the old adage "It's easier to get forgiveness than to get permission", another ruthless habit of dictators. Before tRump, America was proud to actually have a 'Rule of Law' and 'checks and balances, that Americans could depend upon to protect our rights. tRump however simply does as he pleases, Rule of Law be damned, He weighted the Supreme Court to his favor with his minions that now owe him bigtime for the favor of a lifetime position that cannot be challenged. So, in essence they and he now rule the land as they feel like on any given day. None of this bodes well for our Nation.

Hey Buddy! Buddy, I need help bad! Well I don't mean I need 'bad' help, you know, just the other way around actually. I know in my heart of hearts that I can depend on you and you alone to really help me. Here, let me tell you what's up. My whole family, some I'm not too convinced of, my so called friends, and not too sure of most of them, and of all people, my doctor, and I 'know' of all people he would be the last to say so, tell me that I'm crazy as a loon! What in the hell is a 'Loon'!? Is that the same as a Goon? I know what That is, but this loon thing has me stumped like crazy. not 'loon' crazy, just crazy crazy. Whatever it Is, I'm not crazy as, as far as I know anyway. Oh sure!, I might do some silly stuff like, standing in front of trains, which I do Not recommend to novice train buffs, jaywalking, swimming with sharks, Never ever using my seatbelt, playing with copperhead snakes, closing my eyes going down stairs, jumping from my second floor windows, picking fights with UFC Fighters, which I plan on winning some day as soon as my current injuries heal up, and there's some more but I think you get my point here.

 Now does That stuff make me 'crazy?'  Could all these biased people be wrong about me?  What can I do to convince people that I'm as sane as you Buddy?  How about we have lunch out on the tarmac at JFK Airport some day, and you'll see first hand that I'm not so crazy after all!?  Hurry up with your answers before they figure a way to have me committed to the looneytune bin!  Thanks Buddy!                                  Not so crazy after all in Motor City, USA.

Dear Crazy as A Loon, Thanks for entrusting me with your clouded future. You ask, "what in the hell is a loon". Well, as crazy to You as it may seem, it's just a 'bird' that lives on water. Yeah, I know, that's just 'crazy', right? And no, not the same a a 'goon', birds don't carry guns.  Does the 'silly' things you do make you "crazy"?  Yes, I'm afraid so. And No, those people are not as biased as you imagine. What can you do to "convince people that I'm as sane as you Buddy", well as to the first part of that question, that ship has sailed. You were probably dodging traffic in an intersection and missed the boat as well. As for the second part of that same question 'as sane as You Buddy", hmmm...good luck with That! And last, hopefully, "tarmac at JFK Airport", shoot!, I have appointments all day long on that day but you can write to me at 'Ask Buddy' 1234 Fifth St. Loonville, USA, 54321  As soon as I get your letter I'll touch base with you for a 'lunch date.  Good luck Crazy, you're gonna need lots of it!

What better to do than to give sage advice, as seen following, to another 'Needy' soul. 

Dear Mr. Buddy, I sure hope and practically pray, not that I'm a religious nut or something like that, but I Am a great 'hoper' for sure. What's Your favorite thing to hope for Buddy? I bet you hope you can solve everybody's problems without breaking a sweat! I sure hope so! Well, at least for my own! Right? Well, I wont waste your time with small chat Buddy, so I'll get right to it here.     I'm 48 years old, and like most of my friends I still live with my parents, I don't have a job yet but I 'hope' to have one someday. I really like living here because I don't have to pay rent or contribute to anything while doing it. Pretty cool huh? The problem is, my parents keep bugging me to get a job and a place of my own because they want to retire and 'downsize', whatever that is! Downsize?? Are they really trying to become 'smaller' than they already are?? How crazy is That!? I told them to just go on a diet and stop eating all of my snacks! Good grief! But why should I have to get a job, and the last thing I want to do is find a place of my own! Shoot! I have it right here! Actually, I think They should find a place of Their own and stop bothering me while I'm playing my computer games! Their house is paid for so whatta they got to lose!      So, are they just crazy and lazy or is it just me? And how can I convince them that They should move out so that I can live as I've become accustomed to?   Thanks Buddy, I just know you'll have a good answer to my problems. Your friend in need.

Dear Needy, to answer your first question; No, No, and of course, Yes.   To answer your second question, just follow my instructions without fail. Remember, it's your 'parents' that have the problems that are way bigger than your own, or actually, as big as yourself. 

  Here's what you will do, and also remember that it was You that asked for advice.  First you must use 'reverse phycology' on your unfortunate parents. Keep in mind that they are likely by now elderly and easily influenced, which makes Your job a whole lot easier.  This means that you convince them, in their owns minds anyway, that the following scenario is 'Their' idea and not your own, even though it Is your own idea. Don't get confused yet. If you want I can type reaaalll slooow. Now, just tell them that maybe they Should go ahead and 'downsize', whatever that means to You. Then, and this is where the 'tricky mind play' comes in, tell them that you've decided to 'move out', actually you will simply go and sponge off of one of your likewise friends while your parents go about 'getting smaller'. It takes a few months for a person to 'downsize' getting 'smaller' so have patients and give them plenty of time to get there. Tell them you will positively move back in without fail in four months, and wish them luck in 'downsizing'. Give them plenty of encouragement at first but leave them totally alone after you 'temporally' move out. Wait four months and then just do a 'drive-by', no, Not That kind of 'drive-by', just drive down their street and cruise past your former home and see if they are still there. If still there wait another four months. 'Downsizing' is not easily, or always quickly done. I think you are going to be really 'surprised' at how well this works out for you!   Good luck Needy! Be sure to give me an update. Remember, You asked for it. ;) ;)

Gosh, just when I thought I'd get a break for a while along comes 'Jeb' from the "Show Me State' with serious need of my 'professional' advice. So tighten your seatbelts as we hotrod into the 'speed zone'.

Hi Buddy! You don't know me but I sure do know you. I'm whatcha might call, a 'follower'. Not like a 'stalker' or anything like that of course. I mean, Who does That!? You know, I'm just a 'reader' follower. Really.  Well, enough about Me, but I could go on and on and on but I wont. So here's the thing I'm writing to you about and I just know you can help me.  Almost all of my friends, as they call themselves, actually believe that planet Earth is shaped like a basketball. Can you believe that!? I mean what the hell is that all about.  Anyone with the brains of a piss ant knows that it's flat as a banana pancake! Right? Do you like pancakes Buddy? Boy, I sure do! Anyway, there's no way that earth can possibly be round like a ball! Buddy, I consider myself pretty smart. I'm the sharp knife in the drawer! People tell me that I'm at the top of the 'heap' when it comes to brains. But, they also tell me that the earth is round and not flat. Some folks just don't have any common sense like you and I do Buddy! Right?

 My question is this, will you help me prove that the earth is flat?  Do you think I'm a little crazy here? How should I go about 'proving' my case that the earth really is flat as a fritter? 

Thanks in advance for your 'professional' help Buddy! Affectionately, 'Flat Earther Jeb', in the "Show Me State".

Dear Flat Earther Jeb, or whomever you may be, my answers are as follows;  Yes,  Yes more than a "little",  and Yes. First, if you really Are in the 'Show Me State' this means that no matter what, you have grown up in a state, no pun intended, of perpetual doubt about, well...everything, and I can't really blame you for thinking the earth is flat, as you have been born to do.  So, with that out of the way, here's what you should do;     First, climb to the top of something that's about 100ft tall. From there you'll be able to see the horizon that's around 12 miles or so distant. Remember, that's Not the edge of the earth yet, so don't worry you wont fall off yet. Next, do the same thing as before. Upon traveling that 12 miles repeat the same drill again, and again, and again, and all over again. Eventually you'll wind up right there in your own back yard. Oh, be sure you pack a lunch, you're gonna get a little hungry! Check back in with me when you actually do, if ever, locate the edge of Your 'Flat Earth'. Good luck Jeb! ;)

You're probably wondering right now why I'm writing to you 'again', and when am I gonna move out of their house. Oh, where do I begin? I'll try starting at the beginning 'cause I guess it'd make more sense that way. I always start at the beginning of things, you know, like going to the store. I usually start from where I'm at at the time. Works 'nearly' every time! Some folks tell me I'm pretty smart. What do you think Buddy? Is it alright with you if I call you 'Bud'?

Anyway Bud, it's like this, I have a dog, I call'em "Dog"...because, well, he Is a 'dog' after all. Can't call him 'Cat' now can I? I yell "Hey Dog", and he comes arunning. So far so good. He's a good dog as far as That goes. But he has this one little habit, I guess you could call it, where when he's around other people he likes to sneak up behind them and sniff their butts. I mean what tha hell is That all about!? I don't do it that I know of, so why does Dog do it?? Annnd, he likes to sniff women's crotches''! I don't know What he's after down there!? I'd sure like to know! My question is, Number 1, when He does it should I just get down there and do it too? Number 2, Would it become habit forming? Number 3, Should I ask first?

 November 5, 2024, The day America's Democracy Was Highjacked By A Demagogue, and Replaced With A Dictatorial Plutocracy Regime.

November 5, 2024 will go down in history as the Presidential election that ushered in a demagogue masquerading as the President of The United States of America, a Nation formerly known and celebrated as a Democratic Nation. That acclaim, of over a short 246  tumultuous years, was null and voided on November 5, when stupid, foolish, greedy, racist, Trumpcultist's, so called 'loyal' American's, cast their ballots and elected the epitome of demagoguery,  their 'cult leader' and false messiah, Donald trump, who eight years prior had then been elected, for a long 4 gut wrenching years then as President by these same foolish, greedy, racist voters, cult following Republicans, and now here in 2024, they raised their empty 'American loving' heads once again while adoring and groveling at the feet of their false messiah. And all across America all that could be heard was tRumpcult members roaring with excitement as they now knew that their worldly troubles were over. And in the background could be heard the gnashing of teeth and the wringing of hands of the other Americans who never dreamed that their democratic America could suddenly, and frightfully be sold to the highest bidder. In the empty heads of the brainwashed tRumper's they were pretty sure that their messiah would share his infinite 'business' knowledge that would make themselves rich, and to be able to live in a debt free racist segregated America, and that he would, while pardoning himself from his own actual felony convictions, absolve Them of their own criminal convictions (members of the cult only please, see Jan.6), their personal and business debts, and short of dying and going to heaven, more likely hell, this was as close as they could get, for now. Happy now with their foolish democracy killing deed, these 'American's' little know that "No good deed goes unpunished". They can't see it at this very moment but after January 2025 when their messiah is officially knighted as the 'Ruler of America", there will be mental turmoil, anguish, and their own gnashing of teeth and wringing of sweaty hands among those same cult members as they discover that they have elected a 'false messiah', and that all the lies and fantastic conspiracy theories spewed by their 'savior' were actual lies after all, and wonder, too late, "WTH did I do?! 

As soon as he is formerly knighted as King, Messiah, and quasi Dictator of his now personal playground, America, trump will embark on a personal and evil crusade of revenge, retribution and purges of his real, perceived, and imaginary enemies. On his list of enemies will be any Republican party member of any station or political position, who foolishly, in his own mind at least, dared to call him out as a dangerous sociopath or simply voted against him. They will slowly 'wither on the vine' and fall into the dust of political history. Also, on his 'hit list' will be any Governor, democrat or republican, of any state that opposed him. Their political 'life' will be short and full of turmoil. Also, on this list, an institution he vocally dislikes, will be any Military General that trump imagines as dangerous to his realm, or refuses illegal orders to become Americas 'police force' against Americas citizens, contrary to our Constitution, he will try Military Court Marshalls first, and if that fails, he will find any other way, legal or not, to purge our standing military of everyone who he imagines as his enemy, and they will soon find themselves in the unemployment line or imprisoned. Also, on his list of purge victims will be any non-republicans who head any federal administration office, no matter how large or small, and will replace them with handpicked tRumpcult members, qualified for the position or not, as long as they are absolute 'yes men' and will follow his every order, legal or not because He can absolve them of their unlawful 'sins'. These positions will be filled with no less than millionaires. He will appoint well known Billionaire conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxer's, closet racists, and known militia antigovernment members to the upper echelon in his cabinet of mini-me's. These will be the dredges of an affluent, self-entitled society that will be in charge, with free hand of our America from A to Z and will be the epitome of 'yes men' who will do as they are ordered by their messiah or experience political and personal doom. There will be few, if any, brave souls left in America's now polluted political system who will dare confront the King lest they lose their crazy heads. The Supreme Court, a useless institution such as it is, already top heavy with tRumpcult members will quickly become a full panel of simple 'yes-men' who will of course follow the orders of their master, Constitution be damned. Federal judges across the land will be handpicked as 'yes-men' or will be replaced. The 'Rule of Law' and the DOJ which enforces that 'rule' will be but a memory. On a state and county level, local county Sheriffs who currently refuse to carry out their sworn duties of enforcing all laws and who fancy themselves as 'protectors' of a constitution they have never even read nor understand, and who are tRumpers as well as closet anti-government militants, will jump for joy now that they will be protected by their messiah. Millions of immigrants will face the real possibility of forced deportation which will adversely affect them, the nation's farming entities and farm goods supply chain. In short, our nation will be thrown into a tumultuous, litigious, and dangerous era that will very well curse America, and the world in general, for decades, more likely forever, to come.

Free Nations that, pre-tRump, counted on America as their own anchor on the worlds tumultuous sea's, will quickly discover that unless they vow their loyalty and their very lives to the new messiah, that they can be, and surely will be, cast aside and delivered summarily to any enemy nation that seeks to invade and conquer. The Free Nation of Ukraine currently under attack by Russia will be cut off from all USA lifesaving military aid unless Ukraine conforms, and curtseys to trumps dictates which will allow Russia to keep any Ukrainian territory illegally taken by them. This will embolden Russia now seeing that America is militarily hobbled, weak and easily duped, to continue the destruction of Ukraine with the assistance of thousands of N. Korean minions, and cross other nations borders in attempt to 'own' that nations land and souls within. Any European nation will be fair game for putin's grab for European dominance. NATO will be left to its own devices in trying without Americas help to stem the onrushing tide of putin's regime that strives to own what putin fancies as his own rightful lands. The rest of the world's evil dictators will see in trump, as he does in them, themselves. All they have to do is compliment trump on his 'stylish' hair-do, or his incredible golfing 'skills', and especially his 'love' of beautiful airheaded women, and they will instantly become his Whitehouse dinner guests, all at America's peril.  Hopefully I will be wrong about some of these above-mentioned scenarios, time will tell, but if past and present world history is any indicator of the 'what-ifs' that Could happen, then America, or as tRump himself has called it, "America is a trash can", is going to  really understand what the phrase, "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it" really means.  

UPDATE: 08-26-2025

                 Well, as much as it pains me to sadly gloat about my predictions made in November 2024, all you have to do is watch the news, read the papers, and pay attention to what Dictator tRump is busily doing as he dismantles America's Constitution, The Rule Of Law, and Human Rights world wide. The American Democratic Party, which stupidly slept through the four years during the Biden administration while insanely thinking the democrats would be a shoe-in, are now lost in the empty space of their own minds as now the 'Republican Cult party' rules the land. tRump now Owns the lawless US Supreme Court, as well as the US Military which he has successfully politized without so much as a whimper from Americans, and turning our soldiers out onto our streets, in violation of our Constitution, taking over our Law Enforcement agencies. Well, there's even more disturbing news, just pay attention to the news. (If there's anyone who even still cares) Sometimes I just hate being right! 

     I cry for America. 

I cry for what it was, and for what it has become under the current, and still under construction, quasi militaristic 'dictatorship'.  I cry for our children, our grandchildren, and Their children who will never know, not even in scrubbed 'history' books, museums, and library's, how it was and what it could have been sans this self appointed, lawless, untouchable, entitled felon that a segment of tunnel blind cult followers foolishly traded away our democracy in lieu of a false prophet.  I cry bitter tears knowing that our once proud nation, and the world in general, will Never recover or heal from the terrible damage done by this one singular despotic madman, and that while even the cowards who Could have stopped him, failed in their sworn duty to protect America from what they knew he was about. In abject fear of losing their federal jobs and their potential for garnering millions under his 'kingship' they scurried back under their rocks and became invisible both in voice and sight while their master and cult leader began the destruction and the end 'Law of The Land', 'The Rule of Law', and of our sacred democracy.  I cry for our now shredded, and practically useless, Constitution which our Founding Fathers wisely penned in order to protect America and all Americans, both Aboriginals and Immigrants alike from despotic kings and dictators. Little could they have imaged or even dreamed that their thoughtful democratic endeavors would be shredded by the very evil type of tyrannical, and despotic entity that they strove to prevent in the first place. The American Civil War of 1861-1865 nearly destroyed our nations unity, and but for wiser minds and braver Americans it would have ended then and there. Now, here 160 years later, our nation is being torn apart by a self centered, egotistical madman who cares nothing about 'The Rule of Law' or our Constitution and is bent on becoming, in his own mind, the best 'American dictator' America has ever had. I still have a margin of hope, but I still cry for America.

Hi Buddy!

It's Me, 'Hard scrabble' in New York!

You were probably wondering when you'd hear from me again, and I bet you have worried yourself sick as a dog wondering how I've been. I know I already asked a bunch of questions, and as I mentioned, I have plenty more of'em. But first ya gotta answer some of the ones already asked. Come on already!

Too bad about your dog barfing on your keyboard! I don't have a dog, we sorta had to eat him last winter when we ran out of road kills to eat. But I do have a pet polar bear, I call him/her, not sure which, and I ain't brave enough to check, 'Polar Bear'. I mean, that's what it is right? He ate my keyboard one time. He still hasn't pooped that thing! Do you like Polar Bears? I sure do, even though one time my grandma saw one tearing down the clothesline. She grabbed a broom and ran out to give him his forty whacks.  After about ten of'em, he turned around and ate her. Don't take a broom to a bear fight! Good thing to remember.

I'm so glad you are my virtual buddy, Buddy. I really like having friends! Did I ask if you got your keyboard cleaned up. I sure do wish I'd hear from you. Maybe you could send me airfare, and I could come stay with you for a while. Do you have a nice big couch? Do you like to eat lizards? Can I bring my pet bear with me? He's potty trained. Well, sorta.

Hope to see you soon pal! Hard Scrabble in New York.
