A Belated Holiday Greeting


In the nearly fifteen years I've been writing this blog, I have always composed a special message at Christmas. Even during the darkest days of Dubya (whom I miss. Somebody shoot me please) I've always been able to come up with something positive to put you in the Christmas spirit. Not so in 2020. This year has been such a complete drag that, to be perfectly honest with you, I was too depressed to write anything. I'm sure that won't be the case next year, God willing. At high noon in twenty-four days, there will be a new president residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and Donald Trump will be on his way to grim and bitter exile to pack his belongings for Leavenworth.

The very fact that this "president" is attempting to overthrow the will of the American people is too sickening for discussion. Just when one thinks he has accepted the inevitable, the silly bastard drops a hint that he will be commander-and-chief for the next four years and beyond. He is trying to make "the base" believe that the election was stolen and that all of the mail-in ballots that went to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were fraudulent. The fact of the matter is that the total for Biden would have been even greater than it was had Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (at Trump's orders, no doubt) not junked thousands of post boxes in minority neighborhoods  all across the land. This very act alone should send both men to the federal slammer for a very, very long time.

Yeah, 2020 was a drag alright. The thing that amazes me more than anything is that, had the COVID-19 pandemic not reared its ugly head, the Donald probably would have been re-elected! Yesterday the number of deaths in a single day reached an all-time record: over three-thousand. It's almost certain that a majority of those dead were lulled into thinking that the virus was no big deal. The culprits behind that thinking - more than anyone else - are Donald Trump and Fox Noise. There should be a class action lawsuit brought by every family in America who lost a loved one (or more) against Rupert Murdoch's entire media empire to place it out of business forever. I miss the good old days when they were only a danger to the nation's civic awareness. They've become a danger to human life. The entire organization needs to be shut down once and for all. Murdoch's citizenship should be revoked. Deport the old geezer back to Australia.

As this horrible year ends I have nothing warm and fuzzy to offer you. Sorry about that, folks. This has been the worst year it has ever been my extreme displeasure to witness - and I'm old enough to remember 1968! Compared to 2020, '68 was lollipops and roses.

So hang in there, boys and girls. The next twenty-four days will see us in for the ride of our lives. Some of it will be stomach-churning, some of it will be mind-blowing - yes, some of it will even be horrifying. But at least it won't be boring! That's the only bright side of living in Donald Trump's America.

Since I started this site in 2006, I have tried to post between fifty-five to sixty-five articles each year. The one you are reading now is the 105th piece I've posted since January 4, 2020. Donald Trump inspires many things. Writers block is not one of those things.

2021 can be a year of healing and rebuilding because so many turned out to vote T**** back to his Mar A Lago swamp. One vote at time until millions said, "You are gone, T****." The one best thing about 2020.

Now we need to vote out the rest of the eponymous Republicon traitors. They did not live up to the oath they took and sold out to money and power.

The damage continues as T**** golfs and tweets while doing nothing to help. And that's the way it will be for another 24 days as he rages to overturn the election.

It's going to be a shit show, so buckle up.

Tom,

The Rant columns has been an island of sanity in a sea of madness and chaos.

You've taken in the madness and distilled it for us to understand what the hell is happening and we used it to push back the darkness that would have consumed us all otherwise. Thank you 105 times for lighting the way forward and not losing yourself after immersing in the insanity that has been the T**** reign.

Your greeting may be belated, but your timing is right on. We needed see if there would be something to share greetings for in this dark and odious time. Thus, we have not lost our way or given up or shut our eyes and ears and we will speak Truth to Power. We will not concede to Fascism.

Looking forward to a happier New Year and many more Rants. We were blessed to have you help keep us focused, alert, informed, and, I for one, appreciate the effort and the cost you payed.

It's not easy to look into the Abyss and survive the encounter.

Tom, looks like 46* will be our President until his health fails or his own party drops the 25th on him. I've asked my Fan Club to name some of the Bills introduce in 46*'s years in Congress, to date none have given, not even one.

This means either they really don't know one, or are too lazy to do a search to find one. I'm not sure which choice applies, but I'm SURE they will show us with the barrage of personal attacks on me, (your only Conservative voice daring to post here in the "liberal cesspool"), deflection and whataboutism that will follow this post.

So in the spirit of 2021 here's one Bill 46* introduced.

In 1990 46* introduced the "Gun Free School Zone Act". Since then 92% of large mass shootings have taken place in "Gun Free Zones".

Now that's effective governance.

On Sunday, President Trump signed the COVID-19 relief bill to immediately renew increased unemployment benefits, protect against eviction and foreclosures, and start the process for further relief to be administered to those suffering from coronavirus lockdown protocols. But he did so while invoking the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, an obscure law that gives him the power to “redline” challenges in the bill.

"I am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits, stop evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for PPP, return our airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for vaccine distribution, and much more."

Increases relief checks from $600 to $2000. Thank you President Trump!

Biden was formally listed in a criminal case in July by Ukraine’s government for the crime of firing Ukraine’s former Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.

The Ukrainian government released more audio recordings in September between Joe Biden and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko talking about controlling the country that’s just now receiving attention.

“Today’s press conference is dedicated to new facts revealing international corruption and external governance of Ukraine,” Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach said at a press conference.

“1. Evidence of withdrawal through financial ‘holes’ of millions of dollars stolen from the Ukrainian people, laundered with the help of banks and laundromats in various jurisdictions, and their subsequent transfer to the accounts of the company belonging to the Biden family,” Derkach began.

“2. New recordings of conversations between the persons who appear to be the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden testifying to external governance.”

“3. We will also unveil colossal corruption schemes related to the procurement of coal and gas, due to which Ukrainians pay 30% higher utility tariffs. At that time, the highest officials of Ukraine and the United States participated in these schemes,” Derkach added.

You're just... wait, are we observing the complete loss of critical thinking ability before our eyes? Look. Just because you've accepted the outcome or the reality that you want to be, does not make it so. Even the most biased reading of what you just cut and pasted, JTF, doesn't make any sense. Joe Biden didn't fire a Ukrainian Prosecutor.

Holy Hell, man. Trolling for the sake of trolling really has destroyed you hasn't it? It doesn't need to make sense, it feels like it sounds like it should be what you want... so you latch on and add it to your syphilitic world view. It'd be sad if you weren't part of the loud, unemployed dumb-class that's decided to volunteer their time with this stupid morass.

President Trump Is Most Admired Man in 2020, Gallup Poll Reveals [BUT BIDEN GOT MOST VOTES IN HISTORY???]

Overall, 18% of Americans name Trump, 15% name Obama, 6% Biden and 3% Fauci. The remaining top 10 men include Pope Francis, businessman Elon Musk, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, basketball player LeBron James, and the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists.

Vern,
Is that fake mis-understanding, real misunderstanding, or outright lying about why Trump was impeached? When it comes to ignorance and dishonesty, the competition is tight on the Right.

So Obama and Biden have 21% and Trump has 18%. This explains why Trump lost. More people admire Democrats than Trump. LOL!

He really is extremely ignorant, and totally brainwashed, but it channels his innate authoritarian personality perfectly.

The statement that revealed his true nature was, "Your conscience means nothing".

Everything else he says conforms to this authoritarian cult mentality. He has no conscience. John Dean's book "Conservatives Without Conscience" was an excellent overview of the Bush/Cheney Mob.

Now there's his take on the Big MAGAt and his cult called "Authoritarian Nightmare: Trump and His Followers", by John Dean and Bob Altemeyer.

In a sane society this would be a high-school textbook in civics.

"President Donald Trump and former first lady Michelle Obama are the most admired man and woman of 2020, according to a new Gallup poll released Tuesday.

It's the first time Trump has topped the list alone, ending a 12-year run by his predecessor, Barack Obama, with whom he tied for most admired in 2019. For Michelle Obama, it's her third straight year as the most admired woman in America.

Gallup noted that few Republicans named anyone else besides the President -- who holds a 39% overall approval rating -- while Democrats split their votes."


But Joe Biden will still be sworn in as POTUS Jan 20. Trump lost and will face criminal charges.

Senate Investigation Finds Obama Admin Knowingly Funded al-Qaeda Affiliate



Non-profit humanitarian agency World Vision United States improperly transacted with the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) in 2014 with approval from the Obama administration, sending government funds to an organization that had been sanctioned over its ties to terrorism, according to a new report.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) recently released a report detailing the findings of an investigation his staff began in February 2019 into the relationship between World Vision and ISRA.

The probe found that World Vision was not aware that ISRA had been sanctioned by the U.S. since 2004 after funneling roughly $5 million to Maktab al-Khidamat, the predecessor to Al-Qaeda controlled by Osama Bid Laden.

However, that ignorance was born from insufficient vetting practices, the report said.

“World Vision works to help people in need across the world, and that work is admirable,” Grassley said in a statement. “Though it may not have known that ISRA was on the sanctions list or that it was listed because of its affiliation with terrorism, it should have. Ignorance can’t suffice as an excuse. World Vision’s changes in vetting practices are a good first step, and I look forward to its continued progress.”

The investigation was sparked by a July 2018 National Review article in which Sam Westrop, the director of the Middle East Forum’s Islamist Watch, detailed MEF’s findings that the Obama administration had approved a “$200,000 grant of taxpayer money to ISRA.”

Government officials specifically authorized the release of “at least $115,000” of this grant even after learning that it was a designated terror organization, Westrop wrote.

 
At 11:42 AM, Blogger Dave Dubya said...

“Moreover, although we find no reason to doubt World Vision’s assertion that the funds in their entirety were used by ISRA for humanitarian purposes, that money inevitably aids their terrorist activities,” it concludes.

"Used for humanitarian purposes". AKA food, water, shelter, etc.

No direct link to terrorist activity was shown.

Speaking of terrorist activity.

What happened after Trump tweeted, "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!"?

Radical Right terrorists were inspired to plot the kidnapping and murder of Michigan's governor Whitmer.

Right wing racists and terrorists have been as dangerous and deadly as Jihadists in the US since 9-11.

Trump has been their inspiration, calling the tiki torch neo-Nazis "very fine people". Vern has supported that terrorism indirectly by supporting Trump.

Why does Vern hate America?

Fuzzy Logic yields degrees of truth. Anon always stirs a bit into his muddy toxic soupcon of exhortations.

What T**** tapped into was -

"Populist nationalism is not an eruptive response to a new condition of 2015 — it is a perennial ideological position, deeply rooted in the nature of modernity: a social class sees its perceived displacement as the result of a double conspiracy of outsiders and élitists. The outsiders are swamping us, and the insiders are mocking us — this ideology alters its local color as circumstances change, but the essential core is always there. They look down on us and they have no right to look down on us."

Black, Brown communities should get first dibs on coronavirus vaccine, minority leaders say

“We’re asking and demanding that we have a sense of trust by allowing us to be considered to be first when it comes to distribution,” said Pastor John Harrell, of Proviso Baptist Church in Maywood.

Yes. We've managed to make words like 'Entitled' and 'Entitlement' and 'Progress' and 'Patriot' and 'Patriotism' and "conservative" and "christian" and complete warp them into meaning something different than what their definitions or intents are. Might as well try to turn 'equitably' into something with a negative connotation, as well.

Now in the mind of a "conservative" fairness and impartiality is something to demonize. Imagine living one's life with such a mindset that you find it necessary to rage against the tide for raising all boats.

TB3,

"warp them into meaning something different than what their definitions or intents are."

Thanks for coming clean.

When trump discovered that brown and black people were dying in greater numbers than other demographic groups he started pushing for herd immunity.

I understand your confusion, JTF. When I use the word 'we' or 'we've' or 'we have', it's the general we. Us. All of us. Society. Not 'We' vs 'You'. I am not sure why you immediately defaulted to Us vs Them, but I'm sorry you feel the need to keep treating politics like Sportsball. The concept of America and of America being a collective whole of people working together has been beaten out of you by the Limbaughs and Tuckers of the world. I am also sorry that you were unable to glean this normal use of language from the context of my entire statement.

Poor Vern.

He's forced into another state of deep resentment. He's angry that instead of white Republicans, those who are most vulnerable groups are prioritized for vaccines. How dare they give black and brown Americans vaccines when there are white trash racists who are more deserving?

He doesn't understand that is the best way to mitigate the spread. But then, he doesn't care that Republicans are the worst spreaders of disease since the flea ridden rats of the Dark Ages.

Rats and Republicans. So alike. Super Spreaders bound in their common nature. Except the rats didn't know better.
