Tea and Vitriol

Nobody but dangerously deranged Democrats and woke progressives can describe the Biden regime as anything other than the most corrupt and ineffectual in United States history. This has gone on since the minute Sloppy Joe was sworn in as president and it has only gotten worse since then. We have seen our economy collapsing around us, along with our infrastructure. We have seen our standing as THE world power decline so that we are a mockery to other nations, to friends and foes alike. Nobody really fears the US anymore. Or regards us as important. Except as a milk cow, to whom all run for money while stabbing us in the back. We have seen the regime promoting identity politics not based on merit or qualifications but on sex, sexual orientation, color and race. Woe betide anyone who dares call the Biden regime out on these truths, for they will be branded as racists, fascists or MAGA Republicans. Fortunately, more and more people are undeterred by such nonsensical insults and are finally

The US economy is in the toilet. And the flush handle is broken. We are assured by the sugars of the Biden regime that "Bidenomics" (a "Never Neverland" of economics) is working. Giggling almost girlishly, the Democratic National Committee, their news media stooges on CNN and the arrogant airhead spokesman for the president (Karine Jean-Pierre) all tell us that unemployment and inflation are down. Except in the areas of fuel and food...the basic requirements of modern urban life. Who are we supposed to believe? Them or our own pocketbooks? Why, them of course. If we don't, we are fascists and racists. And must be neutralized. Too many people clearly are falling for this bullshit, believing all of these blatant lies that paradise lies just around the corner, while they are relying more heavily on their credit cards just to make ends meet. At present, people are being forced to spend more than $700 a month more for the same items than they bought two-and-a-half ye

Rochester, New York is a deadly dangerous city. Some people, usually Democratic politicians and elected officials, forgive that because our once fair city is in its death throes. That's why they continue to run for re-election, looking to squeeze as much out of it to benefit themselves before it finally goes under, after which they will go elsewhere, their ill-gotten gains safely tucked away in their pockets. Most people recognize this fact of life here, which is why actual voting rates are so low. After all, in our one-party city, one Democratic scoundrel in office is pretty much any other, so why bother to vote at all? We know that apart from passing some cutsie-pooh legislation that will do nothing more than waste taxpayer dollars, they are either unable or unwilling to take a serious stand on any issues affecting the quality of life in Rochester. They certainly aren't concerned with serious attempts to combat crime, violence and homicide, although they might occasionally be

This is getting to be rather tedious. Ever since Mahweak was installed on Rochester's mayoral throne, his sole method to combat violent crime has been to declare "states of emergency." Apart from recently ordering billboard signs to exhort people to choose "wisdom" and not to resort to violent crime to settle disputes, Mahweak really has no plans, and no clue, about how to combat the violence that is killing our fair city. But then, he never had. And, after all, law-abiding residents don't need to be reminded about obeying the law or doing what's right, while criminals are pissing their pants laughing at his exhortations. Rochester is a deadly, dangerous city in its death throes, and it is far safer to observe it from a distance. Say about three thousand miles. Across the ocean. in Germany. Rochester had three more homicides on Friday. One of the victims was a fifteen-year-old boy. This does not include the numerous shootings where victims are currently

It's finally happened! The pendulum is definitely swinging to the Right in the United States! And to upholding what is right! This week, before their summer recess, the Supreme Court issued their rulings on three landmark cases before them, effectively putting an end to much of the woke progressivism that has crept in and infected our society for decades. The justices on the Supreme Court, the six to three majority of them, anyway, refused to bow down to the threats of physical violence issued by the far Left and ruled as being unconstitutional three instances upon which woke progressives and the criminal Biden regime have pinned their futures on. The first case involved using race as a criteria for college admissions, which has gone back for more than fifty years, to President Johnson's failed "Great Society" and "Affirmative Action." "Affirmative Action," on the face of it, was supposed to make up for discrimination Blacks faced after the Civil W

  Ahh, the good old days of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union! Claiming to be "democratic," the Soviets featured regular "free" elections. Voters were handed ballots that sported the names of various candidates for various offices. All were card-carrying Communists approved of by the party. No other parties were represented. Voters were allowed to "choose" between the same sort of candidates, which fulfilled the theory if not the spirit of Democracy. Sort of like the Democratic Party's stranglehold on politics in the City of Rochester. Most of my European friends and acquaintances are fascinated by this concept of one-party rule in a so-called democracy, since they have a variety of parties representing different points of view that actively participate in the political process, which makes for some very lively election campaigns. It becomes even more amusing to explain what goes on in Rochester's Democratic Primary, which takes place tomorro

And a distance of over 3,000 miles doesn't improve the way it looks, either! I have been spending a lot more time in Europe these days, specifically in Germany. I know that there are certain people in Rochester who are delighted to have me gone, while they don't seem to understand that I find it more refreshing and peaceful to be away from our dying hometown. But then, those people don't seem to understand my extremely low opinion of them. I am long past the point where their opinion means anything to me. Thanks to the internet and instantaneous news reporting, it is easy to keep abreast of what goes on in the world, even about Rochester, New York. Apparently, our city "leaders" are either unaware of that fact or simply don't care how Rochester is perceived across the world. It isn't flattering. When people ask where I am from, I tell them. It is not my job to lie for our city government. That's what City Hall's Communications Department gets paid
