Tea and Vitriol

At the start of the insincere ceasefire in The Donald and Benny's war against Iran, Melania Trump has chosen to speak yesterday. And what did The Donald's third wife have to say to the press? Nothing about The Donald's arrogance that has shattered old international alliances. Nothing about the disruptions to global trade and the global economy caused by The Donald and Benny's unilateral war against Iran. Nothing about the bloodshed, death, destruction and violations of international law that The Donald and Benny have wrought upon the world. No. Melania spoke about herself and how she has been maligned by social media and the liberal press regarding her association with deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his procuress-in-chief Ghislaine Maxwell. Wearing an exquisite, tailored suit and her standard Joan Crawford "come fuck me" pumps with four-inch heels, Melania strode forcefully across the room to a podium where her prepared speech was already lai...

The whole world has seen that The Donald and Benny's war against Iran hasn't gone to plan. Despite their tortured efforts to destroy Iran and remake it to suit their own egos and agendas, that hasn't happened and the war, with its death and destruction still goes on. This has infuriated The Donald, who supposedly penned "The Art of the Deal." He expected Iran to capitulate on Day One of his and Benny's war against them, and gratefully accept any deal that he might offer, no matter how humiliating. Only Iran has repeatedly said "No deal!" The Donald knows only how to insult, threaten and intimidate. Those are his methods and they are not working here. His latest bullying tactic was to threaten Iran with "Hell on earth" if they did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, specifically the shipping of oil, which the world economy depends upon and 20% of it passes through the Strait of Hormuz. The Donald gave Iran 48 hours to comply. Then h...

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...

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...

 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...

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 latest chapter in the wars against Iran is on! And The Donald and Benny have seriously miscalculated this one. On Friday, in broad daylight, The Donald and Benny attacked Iran. The day before, The Donald didn't get the complete capitulation of Iran in meetings to eliminate the ayatollahs' nuclear capacity for all time, to reduce its military strike capacity and to end its support of proxies in the Middle East whose intent is the utter destruction of the State of Israel. Such acquiescence would have reduced Iran to the position of a US puppet. During these meetings there was NO mention of moderating Iran's repressive regime on its own people, nor of a change in regime. The simple fact is that The Donald and Benny don't give two shits about the Iranian people. They wanted Iran to be defanged, weakened and no longer a threat to US and Israeli interests. The Donald doesn't take rejection well, so on Friday morning he and his relatively faithful lapdog Benny attacked...

World War I was billed as "the war to end all wars." Only it wasn't. There have been dozens of wars since then, producing mass destruction, death, genocide and ethnic cleansing to name just a few items on the bill of fare "civilization" offers to people who disagree with others. Justification for such acts are always publicized to absolve perpetrators of guilt or as a publicity stunt to make war mongers feel better about themselves. True, there is evil in the world, which most people choose to ignore if it doesn't affect them...at first. True, it can be nipped in the bud if the so-called "peace-loving" nations stand firm against it. But most of the time they don't. The industrialized Western nations are all willing to make deals with the devil in order to provide themselves with resources that they themselves do not possess, arguing that their various peoples NEED them, when actually it is the ruling elites who need them in order to preserve TH...

On Saturday, October 7 one of the worst atrocities against the Jewish people of Israel since the Holocaust was perpetrated by the Hamas Nazis of the Gaza Strip. Beginning with the launching of thousands of missiles into Israel hourly, causing death and destruction in their wake, too many for Israel's anti-ballistic system to be effective, things proceeded to get horribly worse. Mind you, since the Hamas Nazis who govern the Gaza Strip are always pleading poverty, one might question where they got the money to afford tens of thousands of missiles. Reminiscent of the Einsatzgruppen during the Second World War, the Hamas Nazis invaded Israel during its sabbath, indiscriminately killing any men, women and children they found. The Hamas Nazis spared no one, killing even babies, by shooting, stabbing, setting fire to and beheading them. Even babies. Eleven Americans that we know of so far are among the victims. There will probably be more. Their orgy of bloodlust included raping women in...
