Joyous Voting during the reign of the Orange King

 In a “great America” mailing your ballot is only available to the Orange King and his staff . Ordinary citizens are too crooked to be trusted with mailed ballots so the DeJoyous rich new Postmaster got busy cutting services and promising less money to the Post Office in the interests of efficiency. 

 

The Orange King was quick with his Kamala Harris  criticism; he called her mean and nasty. Probably the limit to his vocabulary . And of course the usual “birtherism” label oozed out of his spigot. As the New Yorker’s Andy Borowitz noted in one of his satirical pieces:  the O. King doesn’t think Oakland is in the United States. ( I guess the King thinks it’s the  land of Oak- like Greenland is the land of Green, and Iceland is the land of Ice.

 Providence RI Catholic Bishop was crying about an upcoming Presidential ticket without a Catholic? Whoa – 2008, 2012 don’t count? And now, 2020, our Catholic Biden returns; Bishop Tobin are you just waking up a la Rip Van Winkle? Or are you in the Orange King’s intellectual class?

 More Orange King ramblings: referring to writers who  received Pulitzer prizes (and the King doesn’t like what they report ):  “these writers, the writers got Pulitzer Prizes, and that shows you a Pulitzer Prize is worthless. And frankly, you ought to start a petition to return the Pulitzer Prize……”

 The White supremacists offers greatness to lilywhite Christians. And when the gun totin’ lilywhites have problems they resort to familiar old saws like throwing in the Soros name. Guess who wants to join the club? Maine’s Senator Susan Collins is  running scared in a reelection bid because her opponent Sara Gideon, who has more guts and empathy seems to be gaining on her. So what does Collins do? How about trying a bit of anti-Semitism – like:  "There's  all these left-wing, uh, hedge fund owners that are financing Super PACs and financing Sara's [Gideon] campaign, such as Donald Sussman and George Soros….. Oh yeah – pull out the Soros name – that will always bring in a few extra White Supremacists.

 Even more frightening: A wealthy Georgia businesswoman, Marjorie Greene, defender of the King’s conspiracy theory QAnon – purveyors of racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic  rantings won her primary and thus is a shoo-in to win her election in a very red district.  Guess who sent her hearty congratulations? The Orange King’s tweet noted she was “strong on everything and never gives up - a real WINNER!” Why is this different than the rantings of early Nazi days in Germany?

 New rules from the Orange King’s White Palace: the head of the Food and Drug Administration is forbidden from talking to the press about the pandemic unless an administration minder is present. Number of dead Americans (from Corona Virus) climbing higher every day – so what does the Orange King do? Make sure the thought police are “guarding” (read: censor) Federal experts whose expertise might publicly contradict whatever the Orange King dribbles out his mouth on any particular day. This works well with the King’s new rules on virus data collection, new coronavirus database. Forget about facts/science. The Stable Genius King is running the show. 

And, having written about food for umpteen years – how about this egg story from New York? Hillandale Farms, a New York producer/wholesale distributor of eggs is being sued by the State’s  Attorney General Letitia James. The suit alleges the company gouged the prices of eggs during the COVID-19 pandemic - more than four million cartons of eggs sold to major grocery chains, U.S. military facilities, and wholesale food distributors in March and April of 2020.  Yeah! Go Letitia! (I’ve been buying eggs at Target – great prices all the time!)

 

Demons and Witches licensed by Texas Medical License Board

Last week our Orange King praised a Houston doctor for her use of hydroxychloroquine in "curing" 300 patients who were suffering from the coronavirus.  

This “learned” pediatrician/minister, Dr. Stella Immanuel,  who emigrated from Cameroon (one of the Orange King’s S.H. African countries) , has  other mind boggling theories; she claims that medical issues like endometriosis, cysts, infertility, and impotence are caused by sex with “spirit husbands” and “spirit wives”—a phenomenon she describes as “witches and demons having sex with people in a dreamworld.” She added that the witches and demons “ are responsible for miscarriages, impotence”…….And there’s more -  in her  2013 “sermon” - she continued, saying the witches and demons "are responsible for serious gynecological problems,……. we call them all kinds of names—endometriosis, we call them molar pregnancies, we call them fibroids, we call them cysts, but most of them are evil deposits from the spirit husband.”

 I checked and noted that she was licensed to practice in my state by the Texas Medical License Board.  OMG…can you imagine bringing a child to this woman’s office for treatment/care?

Disgust department: How about Georgia's Senator David Perdue having to pull one of his political ads showing his opponent, Jon Ossoff with a new nose; Perdue's buddies decided a computer adjusted bigger nose would make Ossoff look "more Jewish" which sells well with Perdue's anti-semitic followers. 

And South Carolina's Cracker Boy Graham darkened the skin of his Black opponent, Jaime Harrison in his political ads. Is cracker boy running scared?

 On a happier, brighter note: I don't usually write about medical studies that haven't had sufficient time/controls and human participants to prove a thesis. But, occasionally an interesting item pops up that will put a smile on all my dog loving friends:

 Eight dogs,  part of the German Armed Forces, were trained for a week to detect the Corona virus in samples of saliva. Then they were given more than 1,000 infected and non-infected samples and were able to detect 94% of cases. They correctly identified 157 positive samples and 792 negative samples but missed 30 positive samples and gave false positives for 33 samples.

The study was a small pilot project tested by the German Armed Forces, the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover and the Hanover Medical School.

The Meshuggener Orange King and his devoted courtiers

In the Orange King’s Sunday, July 19^th  TV interview with Chris Wallace, he told Chris that he “aced” his cognitive assessment test at Walter Reed – which included some  “very hard” questions towards the end of the test.

Here are sample very hard category questions:

Identifying the similarity between a train and a bicycle.

Repeating the sentence: “The cat always hid under the couch when dogs were in the room.”

Name at least 11 words beginning with the same letter  in one minute.

My question: How many people have a routine(?) cognitive assessment test when visiting their physicians?      Those with a possible Meshuggener diagnosis?

A few items on my plate that guarantee indigestion:

Crassy Cornyn -  my Senator who "represents" me in D.C. - urges constituents to keep in touch - so I sent an e-mail asking if his representation of Texans also includes service people and their families who live here. I was waiting for a comment from him after reading about KGB Pootie Boy's involvement with the Taliban, killing American service people in Afghanistan.
So I got an answer telling me why moving the Embassy in Israel was the right thing to do....etc.    Now that's what I call representation!
We really need MJ Hegar to take his place in November!!!!

Oy Goya! Bad enough that the head of this company was busy blessing the Orange King - but when Daddy's girl, Princess Ivanka  tweeted her  Goya slogan holding up a can of beans....Whoa! Where's the protest at her illegal ploy:

Federal employees may not use  public office…. position or title  to ….. endorse any product, service or enterprise; or to give the appearance of governmental sanction.

 (Of course in the Orange Kingdom there are special ethics, laws and rules!)

Oh yes -  the Orange King did his share - posing in the White Castle with a bunch of G. products....

Just sent another e-mail to Crassy Cornyn asking for a comment about unmarked cars, unidentified warriors picking up people in Portland, Oregon. Wonder how or if he has a form letter for that? Absolutely shocking and soooo scary. 

Wonder if  I should hire a guard when I take out my trash at night?

The Portland terror filled nights  are reminders that the Orange King is no different than the German house painter with a mustache and the Italian rolypoly creature in Europe's early 1930's or Argentina's Redondo,(the Peron replacement)  in the 1970's. 

And still the amazing silence from the Orange King's courtiers....they're terrified of him because he's a  meshuggener !

And finally if you have any doubts about the sanity of the Orange King have a look at some of his utterances in the Rose Garden (sure doesn't smell like roses any more)  on Thursday, July 16, 2020: 

“So we have many exciting things that we’ll be announcing over the next eight weeks, I would say? Things that nobody has even contemplated, thought about, thought possible, and things that we’re gonna get done, we have gotten done, we started in most cases. But it’s gonna be a very exciting eight weeks, a, uh, eight weeks like....... 

Il Pagliacco con Capelli Arancini (apologies to Verdi)

Another tell all book - this time by the Orange King's niece, Mary Trump. The King tried to prevent release of the book - no luck.

She wrote that in 2015, speaking to the King's sister, (her aunt)  Federal Appeals Court Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, about the King's plans to run for president, the Judge said:  “He’s a clown — this will never happen.”

Shades of a Verdi opera?
Today's version "Il Pagliacco con Capelli Arancini";  the composer? A group effort, including lyricist Stephen Miller and orchestra arrangements by Signor Ba Barr Black Sheep. As for the  opera's plot - so far no stabbings, kidnappings or public mad scenes but hope springs eternal!
Will keep you posted on dates of  free streaming.....

Me Orange King - Me Stupid - Me Kill Americans -

Did the Orange King know or didn’t he know? A day in the life of this ruler now includes Intelligence information about  Russia paying to have American service people killed by the Taliban.  

Heads or Tails, the King loses. If he didn’t know – then the White House Castle is at fault; if he did know:  he didn’t care, is afraid of Pootie boy and proves his incompetence beyond belief. (Unless he doesn’t believe that he represents American service people and their families.)

And still the great silence from his adoring Republican Senators – guess they don’t represent American service women and men? Do they give him a pass again?

Below are quotes from former members of the White Castle staff;

Orange King Loves People of Color - especially Orange!

Once again, the Orange King reminds us, among his many fairy tales, how he loves and has done more for "people of color" than any other King.

Really?  Doth the King recount one fairy tale too many?  

Where did he learn how to "love  minorities"? Daddy, of course. In addition to inheriting his money, the Orange King inherited his father’s racism. ((Daddy Fred was an active member of the KKK in NYC and newspapers reported his participation - 1927 - attacking Catholic NYC Policeman marching in Memorial Day parade.)

The Orange King’s daddy,  was investigated in 1954 by a  Senate committee for “profiteering" off the Beach Haven public contracts; this was a public-housing project in Queens, NY for veterans - built with federal loans.  The Orange King’s father  had a coding system that kept non-whites out of the lily-white apartments.

Move along about 20 years:  the young Orange King's work in daddy Trump’s empire  (daddy made him the firm's  “president”)) helps "enhance" his “love for people of color".

Really? 

In 1972, a black woman tried to rent an apartment in Brooklyn from Donald Trump’s real estate company; she was told no apartments were available. Very soon after her dismissal, a white woman asked about renting an apartment in the same building and was offered a choice of two available apartments.

The women were Government undercover “testers” following up on reports that Trump Management Inc. discriminated against minorities looking for apartments in their Brooklyn and Queens’ properties. The Government  evidence proved that Trump employees were directed to turn away Blacks and Puerto Ricans from their properties.

In 1973, the Justice Department filed a civil rights case accusing the Trump firm of violating the Fair Housing Act of 1968.  (14,000 apartments involved in this case)

The case, one of the biggest federal housing discrimination suits to be brought during that time, highlighted the Trump family chicanery.

Displaying his future Orange King behavior, young Trump  would not hear of “settling” the case, He needed a fighting lying lawyer but unfortunately  was not appreciated by most NYC lawyers who didn’t like working for a man known for not paying bills in a timely manner. He found his  perfect match  with the infamous Roy Cohn (Senator McCarthy hearing lawyer).

Cohn’s advice to  Trump:  tell the government to “go to hell.”

(And adding a few "kingly" enhancements, he’s been doing this non-stop since those days -  Sue! Attack, Hit back, Change the subject/rules and most important – LIE! - whatever works!)

With Cohn’s help and noisy NYC press conferences, Trump became the accuser and the Government the bad guy. He sued the Government for $100 million for making false accusations.

In the end, the Justice Dept. won their case – but then as now – the Orange King refused to admit he was wrong.

(The real winners? Lawyers. Wasted time, money and unnecessary anguish.)

 (BTW – as soon as his best friend and lawyer Roy Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS, Trump dropped him like a hot potato. Now there’s a friend!)

So the Orange King shouted out his love/caring for people of color to a sparsely populated arena in Tulsa on Saturday, June 20,2020. Guess you can file it with the close to 20,000 other lies served up in the past four years.

Two Miles of Fence to guard the Orange King - what's next - a moat?

The Orange King/Fuhrer  is finally getting a real castle - enclosed by a fence, enclosed by another fence and enclosed by yet another fence - nearly TWO miles of fencing around the castle. Now waiting to see if he builds a moat and fills it with alligators and other creatures - (he tried this on for size on the 2000 mile Mexico/US border.....didn't get very far.)

Let's face it - the King is terrified of Americans and he's showcasing his cowardice: Bring in the military!  All types of armed forces! Anyone wielding a weapon will do.   This is his Great America (not to be confused with the California amusement parks, please.)

And the BaaBarrBlack sheep does his share - lying is a fine black art with him - (he's refined it over the years since he schemed for the first Bush president). He gave a sterling performance the other day in clearing peaceful protesters near the former White House, (now the King's castle) with tear gas and assorted weapons so his King could shlep to the church with doting fans and then take a bible out of Ivanka's purse to wave in the air and show what a god fearing man he is. He wanted us to know he "loves God" .

Another expert in the mumbojumbo category is my disgusting Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
With the help of the Foxy propaganda ministry, Patrick explained why we have racial problems for those stupid enough to listen:
People are not religious enough - especially left-leaning people who don't  accept Jesus Christ!
Pathetic Patrick said that George Floyd's killing and the protests "break his heart" and it's all an issue of "loving God". “You cannot love your fellow man if you don’t love God,” he said. “And we have a country where we’ve been working really hard, particularly on the left, to kick God out.”

Expletive, expletive, expletive!

Baa Barr Blackest Sheep

Haven't posted for a long time - soooo depressing to watch the Orange King and his chief Executor carrying on at the White Castle in D.C.  And of course his  Executor - BaaBarrBlackness - buzzes around to make sure the King has  everything stashed away for his future......oh what a pair they make. Wonder how much Barr gets (or expects) from all the crooked deals?

Running closely behind the Orange King in crooked, idiotic, suck up to the richies' shenanigans are my state's (Texas) Governor and Attorney General. Anything that includes no abortions or women's rights is great with them! 

Das Konig Trumpf, aka the Orange King marches on - unbelievable!

On Sunday’s  March 29^th press briefing journalist Yamiche Alcindor, of PBS,  asked King Trumpf about his statement that governors are asking for things that they don’t need. King Trumpf interrupted: “I didn’t say that.”

“You said it on Sean Hannity’s Fox News,” Alcindor replied.

“Why don’t you act in—a little more positive?” Das Konig asked. And then he continued: “Look, let me tell you something: be nice. Don’t be threatening.” He kept trying to shut her up and of course never answered her question. 

Ooooh - soooo presidential!

Das Trumpf wants governors, and reporters, to butter  him up, (kneeling comes next) if they want his help. .On Friday, March 27,  he said  governors don’t deserve his attention if they aren’t “appreciative” (“If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call”). He stated that he told Half Pence not to call Gov. Jay Inslee, of Washington or Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; he called Whitmer  “the woman in Michigan.”  CNN’s Jeremy Diamond asked him about these ‘governor’ statements, and was attacked, with King Trumpf’s usual refrain about CNN reporting “fake news.” The King explained he was only demanding gratitude for his entire team, not just for himself……(ho ho ho) “I want them to appreciate the incredible job we’re doing.”

I’m so terrified that the King and his minions will find a way to mess up the November elections. Das Konig is nervous about reelection I’m sure and the provisions to safeguard voting the Democrats tried to attach to the stimulus bill evoked more tantrums via tweeting. He was extremely pissed about the Dems asking for more polling locations, allow mail-in voting, etc.  King Trumpf believes that making sure people can vote is “crazy.” The King said if we took these safeguard steps (which means providing adequate funding), “you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.”    

Wow – does that mean we wouldn’t be able to enjoy centuries of Cornyn, Graham, McConnell ruling the land, lining their pockets?

And the final Covid-19 straw: my state’s idiot Lt. Governor Dan Patrick  said that the elderly should be willing to die to help the economy.

But why does that surprise me? Ageism is  pervasive in the U.S. Getting older is apparently not on anyone’s agenda – until they’ve arrived.

Three Blind Rats: Mootch McConnell, Mini-Mnuchin and the Orange King

Mootch McConnell’s complaining about Democrats holding back aid during the pandemic – how low can he go? He gets his Russian Oligarch buddies to make sure a Russian owned aluminum plant opens in Kentucky – and of course to contribute to his election PAC; he also rakes in money via his Transportation Secretary wife and her fat cat family in China and then - when he has a chance to do something worthwhile -  takes the weekend off (dismissing his followers) just when the Dems. had a pandemic economic plan ready to consider.

He returns and has a temper tantrum because the Dems. don’t like his ideas: his version of a bill includes a slush fund for the Orange King and his mini-Mnuchin to share with their major corporate friends. This of course includes buddies who hang out at Mar-a-Lago and top GOP fundraisers. And let’s not forget to bail out the poor corporations who register their businesses outside this country to avoid paying taxes – like all the cruise lines, pharmaceutical companies and more. Just think - they don't pay taxes here but when times are tough - guess what - they come crying  to the King: HELP US!

And the people who really need help? No jobs, no food on the table, no money for home payments and no money for health care? The Orange King does not deal with anyone who can’t line his pockets!

Every now and then I'm subjected to a clip or two of the Orange King's utterances - "really great, incredible, I'm smart",  but even with his limited vocabulary - enough words come spitting out - serving mainly  as an emetic. 

Science, Orange King Style - upstaged by architect Melania!

In case you missed this unbelievable comment from the Orange King's press conference on Friday, March 6, 2020 (Atlanta CDC - with lots of scientists hanging around)

The King, talking about the country's Corona virus fears, reminded the audience he really was smart - since he was related to an uncle who taught "science" at MIT - and then said:  “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done this instead of running for President.”

There is absolutely no comment I can make that would do justice to the insanity of his statement!

****Flash! People killed by a tornado in Tennessee, Deaths from Covid-19 virus here and abroad, world is shuddering as the pandemic expands and guess what Queen Melania and her PR lackey Grisham are up to: promoting the ongoing construction of a tennis pavilion, (for benefit of visiting - or resident tennis players who, alas have had to use the courts in the past with no place to hang out afterwards?). The pavilion reflects a neoclassical style to match her subsidized home.

(Maybe we should call it Roman Nero  style –  fiddling while we burn!)

Still can't digest what's going on in the White House Kingdom..........how high can we go on the stupidity barometer?

Wishful thinking - how about Joe Biden choosing Rep. Veronica Escobar as his running mate?  El Paso's Ms. Escobar has great record serving public......

Just heard that a woman who had been working as press secretary for Wash Your Hands and Repent Half Pence recently married our Immigration Minister of Deportation, Herr Stephen Miller.

Note our minister's resemblance to Herr Goebbels: 

  

But - not all  immigrants get the Miller treatment:

Orange King's campaign speech in Congress Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2020 - lies, lies and more lies!

So the big SOTU campaign propaganda speech is over. Best part was watching Nancy Pelosi tear up the speech after the Orange King concluded his too long collection of lies. When Pelosi was asked why she tore up the Orange King’s campaign speech in the House Tuesday night after he concluded: "It was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative." She called the campaign speech a “manifesto of untruths." 

And now – our sources of info – once called the free and honest press – are sooooo upset about Nancy’s “rudeness” in tearing up the King’s speech at the end of the TV extravaganza show.

For more than three years the Republican King has insulted, criticized and LIED. So when a legislator has the "chutzpah: to express herself visually after the SOTU campaign speech all hell breaks loose in print, on radio, TV. Correct me if I’m wrong – is  hypocrisy still an accepted word in the dictionary?

More about the King’s campaign speech Tuesday evening: Big TV moment for the campaign speech viewers: – Melania pinning the highest government medal on the slimy, smelly newscaster Limburger.(oops, spelling error?)

If you’re not familiar with this man’s feeling about women and other people, here a few garbage items that have spewed from his mouth:

“Feminism, was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”  He coined the slur “feminazi” on his radio “show” and complained constantly about the crime of women seeking to claim value - not given to them by men. (oooh, sorry your highness)

He said abortion was how militant feminists “impose their will on the rest of society, particularly on men.” 

He referred to a college student by name calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute" for arguing that contraceptives should be more widely available.

And his science was impeccable: he told listeners that both Styrofoam and plastic were biodegradable (but that paper is not!)

His name calling matches the Orange King: – especially children -  he called  Amy Carter "the most unattractive presidential daughter in the history of the country," and 12-year-old Chelsea Clinton the “White House dog.” 

This terrible man now has cancer so we get another TV moment – in the middle of the SOTU campaign speech; the King’s wife hangs the Congressional Medal around the guy’s neck. This how the Orange King rewards slime!

                                                            *****

Read about a suggestion for renaming the Department of Justice: Department of As Much Justice as William Barr Will Allow 

And Iowa? Oy! The Democratic National Committee Chair (Perez) needs to be replaced -  ridiculous rules and regulations skewering eligible candidates. I’m still waiting for a candidate who can topple the Orange King – money helps and maybe that’s why Bloomberg is looking better these days. Bernie’s “pie in the sky” promises won’t fly;the Orange King and his Republican Party will skewer him.

BTW: How come nobody talks about Ethical Capitalism? There’s enough for everyone in this country!
