Fighting Fire with Fire (Democrats Next Move to Counter Texas Republicans)

 

 

IT’S TIME FOR DEMOCRATS NATIONWIDE TO “GO NUCLEAR” ON TEXAS REPUBLICANS

Remember when conservatives once stood up for Constitutional principles and espoused a deep commitment to institutional traditions?

Not anymore.

Certainly not in Texas, the state of my birth and the lone star of current mass ignorance and blatant hypocrisy, as it continues to soil it’s dismal rankings near the bottom of nearly every statistical metric on quality of life

As we write and read now, Texas Republicans want to redraw the maps. It’s called “redistricting.”

My Public Announcement (Long Post)

 

MY PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT (LONG POST)

Forgive the self-indulgence which follows. I need to address a few things and announce a few changes.

I’ve taken a break recently from my usual public activism. Admittedly, right now is the wrong time to NOT engage in advocacy and current affairs. Call this pause a serious abdication of citizen responsibility. Common decency demands more of us–all of us. Decent people must speak out. The dangers we face are real. The consequences of silence and indifference are self-evident, and likely about to worsen.

During my sabbatical, I resisted the daily urge to post on Facebook. Moreover, I ceased meaningful social media exchanges. I also suspended my own personal writings at my website and sidelined my contributions to online content sites that regularly publish my work which gives much wider attention to my ideas . I also limited my own social engagements–aside from usual home life. This inactivity wasn’t born out of any resentment or to make a protest. It wasn’t even planned. It just happened.

What created this diaspora of detachment?

The End of PBS and the Rise of MAGA Propaganda and Mass Ignorance

 

 

THE END OF PBS AND THE RISE OF MASS MAGA PROPAGANDA

What kind of sick sycophantic stooges *celebrate* the looming mass cancellations of longtime-running popular television programs like Sesame Street and Nova?

Seriously! Look at what this sick and demented society has become. These MAGA Trumpsters are some really twisted and perverted fucks. Openly cheering the cancellation of science and children’s educational programming? Really??? Hell, they drool at taking food out of the mouths of hungry schoolchildren (school lunches being slashed) and apparently don’t give a rat’s ass that Trump and his rich friends have doodled hundreds and perhaps thousands of teenagers (Epstein/Trump Files) ——- so what’s the big freakin’ deal about losing a kid’s TV show? So typical of MAGA depravity.

There are no words. But, I’l try to sling a few choice comments here and now.

Turning Point: The Vietnam War (Five-Part Netflix Series Review)

 

 

TURNING POINT: THE VIETNAM WAR (NETFLIX SERIES–REVIEW)

“You will kill 10 of us, we will kill one of you. But in the end you will tire first.” — Ho Chi Minh

“We’re killing these people at a ratio of 10 to 1.” — Army Gen. William Westmoreland, U.S. supreme commander in Vietnam

“Westy, the American people don’t care about the 10, they care about the one.” — Sen. Fritz Hollings, a decorated World War II veteran from Westmoreland’s home state of South Carolina

The Vietnam War ended 50 years ago. The recent anniversary date (April 30, 1975) prompted several retrospectives–old and new. As is the case with many historical events, the passage of time does provides a broader, deeper, and clearer perspective of what really happened. Much like a forest and the trees, some distance away from the subject often provides the best vantage point.

Scam Alert! The Phone Sting

 

 

THE PHONE AND TEXT STING:

Here’s a phone scam someone tried to pull on me last Sunday, on Mother’s Day. I’m sharing this here and now because readers out there could also be vulnerable and fall for it, and therefore should be warned. The scam came perilously close to success, which could have cost me thousands of dollars. Read carefully, and look, and listen, for red flags.
