Politics, Motherhood, and Politics

 My opinions on BlueSky straight from my account:  @booravenxer.bsky.social

 So, whatever "ceasefire" was planned out between the US and Iran with Pakistan serving as the mediator, well, it lasted 10 minutes, or half a day. The point is that it was over before it began, why? Because Netanyahu decided that the ceasefire didn't apply to Israel bombing Lebanon. And just that is how it goes.  Not only is Trump easily manipulated, but he far from being any kind of leader. Now, no one will take US seriously, not ever again. Our global respect militarily and diplomatically is gone. Our hegemony is gone. This administration has weakened our economic and global power, and they do not care. The billionaires figured out a long time ago that they do not need democracy for capitalism to thrive. Actually, the American oligarchs want a "corporate" ran type government, taking the Reagan philosophy to the next destructive step. You have a boss in which everyone kisses their asses and does not question. If you question, you risk being fired. If Peter The...

  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 ...
