The Aftermath of Yesterday's "No Kings" Protests: What Did They Accomplish?

Image
Yesterday there were numerous "No Kings" protests across America. According to the liberal news media, three million people participated, exercising their constitutional right to assembly and free speech. That sounds like quite a lot, until you remember that number is far less than one percent of the population of the United States. The remaining 99.9% of Americans couldn't be bothered with them. They went about their lives, either mildly amused by the protests, or disgusted by them, or apathetic to them. The protesters were congratulated by aged actress Jane Fonda, who has forever placed herself at the forefront of any anti-establishment movement, which just goes to show you the delusion prevalent among celebrities that they are very influential. Woke progressive liberals needed no encouragement from her to protest the government. So, what was the result? Apart from shouting themselves hoarse and leaving trails of litter in their wake? Why, nothing. The sun rose again th...

More "No Kings" Protests Today: An Exercise in Romantic Self Indulgence!

Image
Yawn. The liberal loonies are staging another series of "No Kings" protests today to indicate their displeasure with the antics of US president Donald Trump. Like their actions will change anything. But it does give them something to do, exercising animal energies that would be put to better use by cleaning their lawns and houses, doing their laundry and writing letters to their congressmen. To them, this is more fun. Admittedly, bigger cities like New York City and places like California will probably see tens of thousands of woke progressive liberals protesting against The Donald, but those places are just off the coast of Planet Earth. It's not hard to get liberals there to protest anything and everything. Unfortunately, there are several flaws with the protesters' way of thinking that their little "do" will accomplish anything. The Donald rarely, if ever, listens to anyone and regards dissent against his divine purpose as either heretical or treasonous o...

When Irresistible Force Meets Immovable Object, Lie!

Image
It's no secret that The Donald and Benny's war against Iran isn't going exactly as they hoped when they started it. Iran didn't collapse; despite the horrendous amounts of death and destruction The Donald and Benny have inflicted upon them, Iran's massive retaliation against them has proved that they might be bloodied but unbowed. This fact has pissed off The Donald and Benny more than somewhat, especially since the allies of the US in the Persian Gulf and Israel itself are facing the brunt of Iran's wrath, which might be lessening but not completely abating. The biggest problem with The Donald and Benny's war is one of credibility. Nobody can truly believe everything and anything they say about their war. That's because The Donald and Benny are inveterate liars. Don't get me wrong, most politicians ARE liars, especially in supposedly democratic regimes that are subject to the will of their peoples and face re-election challenges at regular intervals...

Seh die Welt in Trümmern Liegen! (See the world lying in ruins!)

 99 Jahre Krieg Liessen Mann kein platz für Sieger. Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr Und auch keine Düsenflieger. Heute zieh ich meine Runden Seh die Welt in Trümmern liegen Hab'n Luftballon gefunden Denk an dich un lass ihn fliegen... These are the last lines of Nena's international hit song 99 Luftballons . And they apply nowadays more than ever. The old "world order" is clearly dead and the new "world order" hasn't quite worked out the way that The Donald wanted. Yet he is the new "world order's" primary architect. Surrounded by a war mongering cabal who are "yes" men and ass kissers, the world has learned that The Donald does NOT ask for advice of his advisors. He gives them orders, to which most of them happily comply, they being no better than he. The prime example of The Donald's cabal is Pete Hegseth, his Secretary for War. The position was formerly called Secretary for Defense. Changing the title was a hint of the...

The Donald is Angry: NATO Won't Pull His Chestnuts Out of the Iran Fire For Him!

Image
 Apparently, The Donald is a bit confused. As well as pissed. He claimed that the US had already won its war against Iran while the war is still ongoing. Then he "invited" NATO nations to send battleships to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil supply must travel and which Iran has effectively closed off. This has created a global energy crisis. The Persian Gulf region also produces about 40% of the world's fertilizer, the loss of which will undoubtedly result in global food shortages. Actually, The Donald didn't so much as invite NATO nations to participate as to threaten them if they didn't, which is his typical bullying tactic, which has largely worked before. Only it's not working now. Saying "bad things will happen to NATO" if that alliance doesn't participate isn't working. Not this time. NATO was originally conceived as a defensive alliance after WW II aimed at containing the exp...

As the Stomach Turns: Why Are We Still fighting a War That The Donald Told US We Already Won?

Image
The answer is simple: We didn't.  Having been goaded into this latest war against Iran by Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, both The Donald and Benny expected a quick victory. Massive bombings of both military and civilian targets were supposed to cause Iran to sue for peace on both The Donald and Benny's terms, which were unconditional surrender. It didn't happen. The war was supposed to cause Iran's regime to collapse. It didn't happen. The war was supposed to end the theocracy of the ayatollahs and substitute a puppet leader subservient to Benny and The Donald. It didn't happen. Both The Donald and Benny broadcast encourage to the Iranian people to rise against their government. It didn't happen. Here it became clear that both men were deluding themselves. The Iranian government controls the state news media and social media.  The exhortations of Benny and The Donald to rise against the ayatollahs and take control of their government never r...

The War Against Iran is NOT Going The Donald's Way!

Image
Despite his statement that the US has already won his war against Iran, the truth is that The Donald hasn't. Far from it. Our so-called, self-appointed "Peace President" has twice in the last year has sent weapons of mass destruction against Iran, in conjunction with Israel.  In fact, it was Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu that precipitated both incidents, and The Donald was forced to go along with it in order to save face. The first incident led to "peace" negotiations, which really went nowhere, and were promptly abandoned to begin this second war. Once again, Benny was the chief instigator of the current war. Benny's political career in Israel requires perpetual wars to keep himself in power and out of jail. Any possibility of a neutralized Iran without nuclear capabilities would be a threat to him. So, Iran would have to be destroyed in a war where Israel was a major participant so he could look like a hero and cement his leadership role in his own count...
