Politics, Motherhood, and Politics

  Well, at least there was no nuclear holocaust tonight, and I must say that I am shocked that he didn’t use one.  A mentally ill narcissist with nuclear codes, who woke up this morning, and threatening to wipe out “a whole civilization,” for a war he started, in other words, genocide.  Genocide committed in our name over oil and a strait, under the pretense of bombing the shit out of the Iranian people to save them. Which is nothing new, we seem to think that by bombing a nation and killing them is somehow saving them. Or by overthrowing their elected leaders because, well because capitalist. Under this asshole and his frat boy Secretary of Defense, we have probably bombed more and committed war crimes more than any other President during my lifetime, which is a feat within itself. He broke international law by invading Venezuela and capturing its leader, Maduro, on supposed “drug” trafficking. Meanwhile, that regime’s 2nd is in charge. Not sure if the situation in Venez...

So this asshole who got a deferment due to "bone spurs" and called veterans "losers" but was still elected in 2016 and 2024, started another war. Why? I am not sure. I've heard several reasons, all that make no sense. Rubio, who it seems I mistakenly thought was an intelligent person, gave some word-salad response, something about Israel attacking Iran, then Iran attacking our bases, so that is the reason for the preemptive attack...what the fuck?  Why do veterans generally vote for these idiots time and time again? During my lifetime each Republican administration has started a war and crashed the economy, but yet the lie that Republicans are good for business and veterans keeps going around each election cycle. (I can say that in 1973, I know that the Vietnam war ended during Nixon's term, but that's the last exception to that rule.)  Anyway, this orange idiot who claimed to be "America First" started a war on Saturday with Iran after illegal...

  The reason why I call ICE the American Gestapo is because this regime with the Assistant Chief of Staff Stephen Miller leading the harassment and atrocities against undocumented, documented, and American citizens, all the same. Oh, let’s not forget, that hair extension asshole, Kristi Noem, is part of these crimes against humanity. The Gestapo was the secret police whose job was to round up the human beings that the Nazis painted as less than human, Jews, Roma, LGBT, socialists, and the disabled. All rounded up and sent to camps. Sound familiar? Nevermind that reports of Americans being asked for their passports that are reminiscent of the former Soviet Union. Even as a kid, I was told that our country is free, so we don’t have to show our papers, now we do, it’s bullshit. Anyway, this is all a part of ethnic cleansing.  This cleansing is anyone who doesn’t fit their white supremacist definition of American. This includes any or all of us. I do now that Stephen Miller seems ...

  On Saturday morning, a news notification appeared on my phone while I was probably drinking my second cup of coffee. And since this is my blog, I am going to rephrase the headlines: “ICE/US Border Patrol, the American Gestapo, executed another American Citizen, Alex Pretti.”  Alex Pretti was a protester in Minneapolis recording the brutality that these “agents” are committing against the immigrant population and American citizens alike. And this time, they executed Alex, while he laid on the ground. He was armed, but it is reported that his gun was confiscated as he laid on the ground. And then as he laid on the ground, he was executed. This is what we are now. Or we have always been this way. We know that some police officers will kill unarmed nonwhite and poor Americans without provocation. And a great deal of times, the officers have gotten away with it. The irony here is that ACTUAL police officers are trained on due process and procedure. (Again this is when race and ...

  Tyranny and state-sponsored terrorism are two terms that I would generally associate with the present day United States government, and here we are. Not only is there a demented madman in the White House, but there are his leading henchmen (and women) who are more than happy to bow to his every whim. (And I thought the 1st term was hell, but at least there appeared to be some who managed to contain him. I thought that the first administration was the worst, but I was wrong.) The worst of all of them is Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, the ethnic cleansing policies adopted by this administration, and the tool of terror, Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Or now I will refer to it as the American Gestapo. About ICE: ICE was formed by combining two agencies in response to the 9/11 attack under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which also created the Department of Homeland Security. (Note: for those of you who forgot their civics lessons, it takes an act of Congress to create o...

  On January 3, 2026, I woke up with the news that the drunken frat boy that is our Secretary of Defense (they like to say war, but if some of you skipped a US Government lesson, it takes an act of Congress to change a cabinet position.) bragging on behalf of the regime that we invaded Venezuela and kidnapped the President of a sovereign nation.  The shock and anger was beyond what I could handle and process. But then that disastrous press conference by a tyrant and wannabe emperor who is probably suffering from age-related dementia and appearing to be falling asleep while speaking just made it worse. But then when my pure hatred of him subsided enough for my political educated brain to analyze the event with history, foreign policy, and possible political outcomes, it occurred to me that he actually said, as the cliche goes, "the quiet part out loud."  And he did,  " We're going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, g...
