Thanks God Trump's Not A Politician.

So the Trump campaign said there were millions requesting seating for his Tulsa rally last Saturday.   The indoor sports center (Covid19 petri dish) could hold 19 thousand.  It was going to be a sellout with people being turned away at the door.  So much for the hype. In the end there were 6000 Trump supporters.  That's the attendance numbers of fans left supporting their losing team with bags over their heads. 

Tulsa empty seats for Trump. 

Could this be the sign that Trump's bigoted campaign has finally reached its end?  I for one think so, oh, they are sure to up the opticals by booking smaller event centers in the future, but Trump has lost the support he had four-years ago and all that are left are the radical fringe.  I would say this is probably 22 percent of registered voters.  An interesting number.  In his article "Signs of white supremacy...in active military groups," Leo Shane III puts the number of active military people who are white supremacist at 1 in 5, or 22 percent.  Equally as disturbing is the report by Justice Security who have documented the same 1 in 5 breakdown of White Supremacist in Law Enforcement.   In that report, the author reports on how as early as 1989 Skin Head groups advised their members to become "ghost skins" and join the police department. 

Four years ago Trump got 63 million votes.  According to The Good Men Project, there might be 50 million white supremacist in the US.  That number feels right to me, and seems to fit well with Trump's 63 million supporters he once had.  Fortunately, has Tulsa has shown us, at least 16 million of them are waking up.  All he has left are the White Supremacist. 

Fortunately for us all, Trump is no politician.  If he could have pulled a Bill Clinton out of his ass and said something like, "I feel your pain...." after the police killing of George Floyd, his numbers would probably be better.  Or, if Trump would have pretended to be George Bush and said something like, "We're in this together..." regarding the Covid 19 pandemic like Bush did after 9-11, Trump would have kept his 63 million.  Instead he showed his true colors.  Say what you will about Trump, at least he is incapable of hiding the evil inside of him as most politicians do.

Trump is glued to his tweets like white balls on a golf course

I'm rubber you're glue, anything you say bounces off me and sticks to you.

No shit.  I've known this about Donald Trump the whole time.  It's the old Republican play book of  accusing your enemies of your crimes, and if that doesn't work, blame the liberal press.

Unfortunately, most of the evil deflectors in the past went unnoticed by the corporate press because it was more concerned with corporate profits than truth.  Fortunately for us today, we don't need the press to report on Trump's stupidity, he does it himself in tweets.  Have a look:



The first example boys and girls, Trump blamed and still blames everything on former President Obama and takes no responsibility for the current mess the U.S. is in because of his lack of leadership.

 Next up, golf.  Trump dogged Obama every time he golfed.  Trump has golfed three times as much as Obama did!

 

 Healthcare, do I really need to write about this Trump failure!

 But then, Trump should take his own advise.

And finally, these tweets should scare the shit out of you because as Trump gets closer to his lost reelection bid, here's what we can expect.

 

Finally, in layman's/woman's terms:  Trump is glued to his tweets like white balls on a golf course. 

Ivanka Crazy

"It's A Bible Holder."

Joe Biden said Wednesday night that he believes if President Donald Trump loses the election and refuses to leave the White House, many of the former generals who used to work for him "will escort him from the White House with great dispatch."

That's right folks, that's the world we live in here in the U.S.  If Trump wins the election there will be hell to pay for the rule of law, if he loses, we're really, really, really, fucked.  Does anyone doubt this?  The same guy who lies to us daily about everything from the crowd sizes of his Hitler inspired speeches, to the direction of a hurricane headed for Florida.  Can you imagine having a father like that?

"Dad, can I go to the Hamptons?"

"No, daughter, there's a hurricane coming for it."

"Okay, I'll order a new Max Mara Handbag online."

"That's a good daughter, put 'A' bible in it."

Is there any wonder his daughter had the brilliant idea to bring the Bible to a Nazi photo op.

The reality of it all.

According to Refinery29:

Ivanka was shielded with her props: a mask, likely worn to appear as the responsible one compared to everybody else in her midst; that designer bag, allowing her to seem like she was prepared to offer help. Both were deployed as tools to make people see Ivanka in the role of a savior delivering them from the ongoing turmoil and chaos. But what they revealed instead were all the ways in which she, like the mask and the handbag, is also an accessory. Ivanka, after all, is an accessory to her father’s crimes, pretending to be a pretty vessel to help him look like a strongman to his base in his desperation to hold on to power in November. She hands him the Holy Book and stands by him as he encourages military violence.

Did I mention that while Ivanka was handing her father "a" fake bible, Orwellian troops were clearing out peaceful protestor with tear gas, rubber bullets, and heavy elbow.  The only thing missing was a bloody horse head. 

We're fucked.

On a brighter note, let's bring back the twist in a bikini!

Mitch McConnell Makes Me Laugh.

I'm tired of writing and thinking about bad people.  Without mentioning names, there are a lot of asses in the political world.  Okay, "asses" is a bit much, I mean, dick heads.  I think that's more polite.  The head of a dick has no mind of its own and only does what the body commands of it.  Sound familiar?  It should, that's the Republicans who are doing Trumps work for him.  We all know who they are, what they say, what they do and don't believe.  What we don't know is how do they continue to get away with it?  Really.  Take... oh, I don't know, let's say Mitch McConnell: never has there been a more hypocritical person on the planet.  He refused to confirm president Obama's Supreme Court appointee with a year left to go before the election, but has already said that if an opening comes in the last year of Trump's presidency he would rush it.

They don't even pretend to be fair.  And their supporters love it.


Anyway, this is a circle jerk.  Same shit I've said over and over and yet, Mitch McConnell still plays his banjo.

"Hi, I'm Mitch McConnell and I approve of this message."

I figured today I would give you some Buddhist scripture to sum up the shit:

A monk asked, “Master, do you work for the people?” 

His master said, “I do.” 

The monk asked, “How do you work for the people?” 

His master said, “I do the opposite of that dickhead Mitch McConnell."

"Oh."

And for more Mitch McConnell humor, I leave you this:

Famous people who played turtles in the movies.

yikes!

No one is 100 percent liberal or conservative. That's a start.

Tucker Carlson on Fox News is saying "The Liberals Are Coming For You!" 

That's right, we are going to cut your pay and sell off 1/2 of your assets so you have to live like the rest of us.

What an ass.  We don't want shit from you but truth, and what Tucker Carlson is saying is a another lie.

I'm going to forgive him though, for I see what the problem is.   The problem is that those of you who have something to lose are scared shitless.  You are afraid that when people-of-color are the majority (the year 2040 if not sooner) they are going to do to you as you have done to them.  They're not, so relax.   

You're life isn't going to change no matter what Tucker Carlson is telling you.  You'll still have your gated community with your mostly white neighbors, your closed-minded church organization, and your Rapid File Automatic Kill Tool if you like, what you won't have is liberals to blame any longer.  We're tired of it.  There are no pure "liberals" or "conservatives" and we all know it.  There is a scaling tool and most of us are more one than the other.  I happen to be more "liberal" than "conservative," but I'm not blindly toting the line like so many Republicans are doing now in defending Donald Trump when they know he is a madman who is destroying America.

Say what you will about liberals, but we bury our own when we have to.  We did it with President Johnson in 1967 when he sent in the U.S. Army to kill protester in Detroit during the 1967 Race Protest there.  What you probably don't know is the Detroit protest of 1967 was started when the police raided a party and began beating up and arresting black people.  The party they invaded was a welcome home party for two black men returning from Vietnam.  Of course you didn't hear that part, you just heard about blacks looting. Things got so bad in Detroit that President Johnson sent in the U.S. Army to stop the protesting -- he called it Riots.  After that thousands of liberals were on the streets protesting President Johnson and Johnson saw the writing on the wall and decided not to run for a second term.  Trump would do the same if more Republicans would stand up for what they believe.

Getting back on my "levels of liberal/conservative."  It's true.  Case in point:  I joined the Black Lives Matter march in Dallas Saturday.  It was great.  Having said this, I do feel sorry for the young police officers being hung by the public without a hearing, especially the guy who held Floyd by the legs and even asked his superior (the murdering cop) to turn Floyd over; this same police officer had asked the murdering cop to back off the only way he could, and when Floyd was put in an ambulance, gave Floyd CPR.  I don't put him in the same boat as the cold-blooded murderer with his knee on Floyd's neck.  So this liberal does have a conservative side which I'm in touch with.  Furthermore, we can't de-fund the police.  That makes as much sense to me as the deregulation policies of the Republicans.  It's bullshit, corporations are the same as crackheads on the streets and need to be policed, so enough with your Ronald Reagan Deregulation shit.  Corporations need to be regulated, and we the people, will always need cops.  Good cops.  This talk about "defunding" the police is bullshit and plays right in Trumps hand, so much, I have to wonder if this isn't a lie created by a Russian Bot?  We all back good cops.  When I was protesting the Young Republicans at a George Bush Rally in 2002 here in Dallas -- I'm a Veteran For Peace and we stood outside the convention building yelling at the young war mongers to join the military and fight Bush's War, which they thought was insulting: the cops were my only protection from those chicken shit college boys too sissy to fight for a war they voted for.

Wow, I just made my liberal with degree points of conservatism perfectly.  Didn't I?

So, yes, I'm a liberal, but I'll call bush shit on the policies of my party when it is time to.  Wouldn't it be nice if one fucking Republican chicken shit besides Mitt Romney did the same.   We might save the country. 

peaceful, loving, change is coming!

The world is changing, and the change is good. 


That thought came to me this morning in my Buddhist chants/prayers.  As those of you who have been reading me know, I'm a Nichiren Buddhist and proud member of the SGI.  We're a humanistic organization that is working for peace and security for society of the world.  We believe our lives are inextricably connected, and that we cannot enjoy true happiness and security while others are suffering or imperiled.  We don't push our faith on others, but we do chant that the world will come together as it is today with the peaceful marches.  And this brings me to today's post: peaceful, loving, change is coming!

 

Trump holding bible to create chaos: nice try bozo!

The signs are everywhere:  Trump has tried to use the U.S. police/military and Christian church for his evil doings, and has failed.  Pictures yesterday showed police officers taking a knee in solidarity with the protestors and the military soldiers hugging men with Black Lives Matter signs.  This had to drive Trump more crazy than he already is -- scary. 

Along with the love between the police/military and protestors, many Christian church leaders have recognized Trump's awkward stunt of gassing protestors to clear a spot for him in front of a church for what it was: an attempt to lie White Church Going People into believing that the Black Lives Matter protestors are out to get them.  Why not, such stunts have worked before! NOT THIS TIME BOZO!  Most of the protestors are of the christian faith!

Then, finally, some Republicans are speaking out against Donald Trump: The Dictator.  The best example of this is Susan Collins (R-Maine), who said:  "It was painful to watch peaceful protesters be subjected to tear gas in order for the president to go across the street to a church that I believe he’s attended only once."

And then Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb) who said: “There is a fundamental — a constitutional — right to protest, and I’m against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the Word of God as a political prop." 

And most glorious of all, the last Christian Right president, George Bush said, "...it remains a shocking failure that African Americans are harassed and threatened in their own country."

And the most telling sign of change, as printed in an CNBC headline:

Iowa voters oust Rep. Steve King, who defended white supremacy

That's right, Steve King is the guy who recently asked, "When did White Supremacist become a bad word?"  

What a dick, and he's gone!  Change is good. 

So enjoy your day everyone, keep protesting peacefully with your mask, and vote, Vote, VOTE! this November.

May 23 a day of endings to some bad things.

May 23rd, a day of endings.  

In 1865, the ending of the Civil War is celebrated as the Army of the Potomac marches along Pennsylvania Avenue in celebration.  Only weeks before, mourners had watched Abraham Lincoln's funeral cortege pass along the same thoroughfare. 

In 1934 on this day the crime spree of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker was finally over as they were shot to death by Texas and Louisiana state police.  

Another strange ending on this day was in 1945 when Hitler's appointed successor, Karl Dönitz, was captured.  It was Hitler's last deviant act to leave Germany in the hands of a Nazis who could eventually rise to power again by playing stupid in a country village.  This was a way to end The Second World War with a disputable surrender as Germany had the First World War.  The surrender Hitler had used as a platform to build his vicious Make-Germany-Great-Again campaign (MGGA-pronouced with a gag one gets from drinking bleach similar to the pronunciation of today's MAGA).  Fortunately on this day in 1945 the Allies declared that they would not recognize the legitimacy of Dönitz's administration, and arrested him as a regular Nazis for which he served ten years in prison. 

Stay tuned to see what other bad things end today.  Last I heard, Trump and his idiot followers still weren't wearing their mask.  

I don't need to wear no F*(king Mask!

May 22, the day they killed Forrestal Becasue He Opposed The War Machine.

Forrestal

At around 2 a.m. on the morning of May 22, 1949, America's first Secretary of Defense, James Vicent Forrestal fell to his death from a small window on the 16th floor of The Bethesda Naval Hospital.  A lot has been made out of his death, most recently by the UFO community who believe Forrestal was murdered to keep him quiet about Rosewell.   Undoubtedly, Forrestal's death is peculiar as pointed out by Richard Dolan and his Richard Dolan Press website where Dolan tells us "several oddities" of the death:

         1. Very unusual that Forrestal was placed on the 16th floor, as opposed to the first floor where most mental patients were kept.  

          2.  Scuff marks were found on the window ledge as if Forrestal had changed his mind and tried to climb back up, or, fought to get back up. 

          3.  Why was a rope used when he was jumping out a 16th floor window?  

Finally, in his article, Dolan reminds us:  "The investigation was as much of a sham as that of president Kennedy...fourteen years later."

Okay, so there was something fishy about Forrestal's death, no doubt and before I give you the EsotericDaily read on this, I believe a quick refresher course on the man James Forrestal is in order:

First, Forrestal was from a wealthy family and if he had been born today, would probably be one of the "Deregulation  / Lower My Taxes /  Gated Community" 1%'ers who refuse to pay their fair-share of the pie.   Fortunately, however, this was the early 20th century and a good number of the wealthy were progressive and fought for such things as Fair Wages for employees, Safety Net for the Old, and Rights For Minorities. Yes, Forrestal was a New Dealer who supported the Roosevelt policies that gave us Social Security --  can I get an Amen?

Before he was the first Secretary of Defense, Forrestal had also been a successful -- wait for it -- Wall Street Banker!  That's right, he hobnobbed with the Rockefeller and Morgan’s and helped them get richer.  He was definitely in the club.  Also, though, unlike the Trump and Bushes of today, when war came, Forrestal joined the fight and made a name for himself there.  Forrestal was so proud of his service in the Iwo Jima battle that he kept the original flag as a souvenir -- the famous photo done by Rosenthal of the battle was actually a larger one hosted up for the photo, not the actual flag used in battle which Forrestal kept dear to his heart: a true American!

So, as you can see, by today's standards, Forrestal would be another greedy bastard bitching about your $15 an hour protest for a minimum wage, but as I have said, he wasn't because back then the wealthy knew they were blessed with their fortune from those of us plowing their fields.   Unfortunately, it was probably this reasoning that he either committed suicide over, or was tossed from a window to keep his mouth shut.  Why?

Well, lets look at the highlights of what this man did:

          He introduced the policy of racial integration in the military.

          He opposed dropping the nukes on Japan which some of the politicians back in DC thought approached insubordination (Zacharias, Ellis, "How We Bungled the Japanese Surrender).

          He argued against the Partition for Palestine which created The Jewish State.

          He advocated the release of UFO Roswell UFO records.

          He implemented a "Needs" based budget for military spending.

The list goes on from  Communist Hater to a supporter of the
Republican (Dewey) candidate who ran against Truman and almost won -- yeah, that probably pissed off Truman a little.

So his life was a bit controversial, and his death...  well, let’s look at his death:

On the morning of his death, Forrestal had been reading a book of poetry which he had left opened to an excerpt from Sophocles “Ajax.” 

In the tragic play, Ajax is the last hero and halfway into the play, commits suicide.   The remainder of the play is the argument to bury him as a hero or let him rot above ground.  In the play, Ajax says:

“Woe, woe! Will be the cry—
No quiet murmur like the tremulous wail of the lone bird, the querulous nightingale.”

Forrestal had written these words on a pad of paper beside the the book of World Poetry.   He stopped at “night” of the last word “nightingale.”

So what’s it all mean?  

1st of all, it is highly unlikely that a murderer would have the literature background to leave this book of classical writing for a suicide note, so one has to conclude that Forrestal himself left it.  Maybe he knew the killers were coming for  him and so Forrestal left it as a warning that there are no heroes left, that the governing power is all corrupt.   In the Ajax story, Ajax is mislead by a goddess to slaughter innocent “Sheep” thinking he was killing the real enemy.   This definitely is worth mentioning, but I’ll leave it to you to define.  My read on the Forrestal story is that he was the first casualty of the Military-Industry Complex President Eisenhower warned us about in his final message to the people.   The same War Profiteering company that killed Kennedy because he was standing up to them.   The same War Machine that Forrestal came across as the leader of the department of defense when he implemented his “Needs Basis” approach to spending tax-payers money to profiteers. The same greedy war machine that made the Bush’s and Koch Brothers wealthy.   The same War Machine that fears regulations for they will expose their corrupt lies keeping you and me down.

RIP Forrestal.

Viking leader Ragnar Lodbrok is remembered on this day.  He was captured by the Northumbrians and killed by being thrown into a pit of poisonous snakes.  His death song, which reflects his faith in the afterlife, has been passed down from generation to generation to provide hope and reassurance about what lies beyond.


Rangnar Lothbrok's Death Song

I did not look to a snake
to be my bane
things happen very often to one
that one thinks of the least.

Soon now will my body
die among the beasts.

The young pigs would squeal
if they knew the state of the boar
of the injury done to me
Snakes dig in my flesh
stab at me harshly
and have sucked on me
soon now will my body
die among the beasts

Eisenhower’s words have never been more important than they are today with the War Machine owning all politicians through the Koch Brother's Millionaire Fund.




In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of  unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Albert Camus Wrote a Book About Today's Plague in 1948. Weird.

I've been reading Albert Camus' book titled The Plague.  I'm only a 3rd of the way done, so there will be more on it in a few days, but for now just let me tell you that the book reads like a play-by-play book on our current Covid 19 crisis in the U.S.  In Camus' book, the town people are slow to act when they start seeing rats dying in the streets, and are told by the town leaders not to be alarmed because it will "magically" go away.  Sound familiar?   No shit, the guy who wrote the book L’Étranger in which he describes how prisons are made for poor schmucks like you and me, and not the wealthy 1%-ers, also wrote a book on the plague. 

In today's discussion of The Plague, I want to point out a few pages early in the book when the preacher is preaching.  Funny, but seems to me after reading that section, Trump's evilness might be the reason God put a plague on us.  That is, if there is such a thing as capital "G" god? 

If today the plague is in your midst, that is because the hour has struck for taking thought.  The just man need have no fear, but the evildoer has good cause to tremble.  For plague is the flail of God and the world His threshing floor, and implacably He will threst out His harvest until the wheat is separated from the chaff.  There will be more chaff than wheat, few chosen of the many called.  Yet this calamity was not willed by God.  Too long this world of ours has connived at evil, too long has it counted on the divine mercy, on God's forgiveness.  Repentance was enough, men thought; nothing was forbidden.  Everyone felt comfortable assured; when the day came, he would surely turn from his sins and repent.  Pending that day, the easiest course was to surrender all along the line; divine compassion would do the rest.  For a long while God gazed down on this town with eyes of compassion; but He grew weary of waiting, His eternal hope was too long deferred, and
and now He has turned His face away form us.  And so, God's light withdrawn, we walk in darkness, in the thick darkness of this plague.

My brothers, that fatal hunt is up, and harrying our streets today.  See him there, that angel of the pestilence, comely as Lucifer, shining like Evil's very self!  He is hovering above your roofs with his great spear in his right hand, poised to strike, while his left hand is stretched toward one or other of your houses.  Maybe at this very moment his finger is pointing to your door, the red spear crashing on its panels, and even now the plague is entering your home and settling down in your bedroom to await your return.  Patient and watchful, ineluctable as the order of the scheme of things, it bides its time.  No earthly power, nay, not even -- mark me well -- the vaulted might of human science can avail you to avert that hand once it is stretched toward you.  Ad winnowed like corn on the blood-stained threshing-fool of suffering, you will be cast away with the chaff. 

Wow, sounds like maybe God has had enough of Donald Trump mocking him.  

Albert Camus

As if that wasn't weird enough, on this day in 1972, in the St. Peter's Basilica where worshipers and tourist came to see Michelangelo's "Pieta," a man jumps in and yells, "I am Jesus Christ," and commences to hammer the masterpiece.  The blows chipped off the nose of the Madonna, as well as, gouged out her left eyelid.

What if it was Jesus?... 

You decide:

Mad Man With Hammer...         
                         

  

Or Jesus:

In ancient Rome, Agnoalia was held annually on this date to honor the god Vediovis (or Vedius), who was Jupiter's counterpart in the underworld.  Vediovis was also a deity of swamps and volcanic activity.  At the Festival of Vediovis, a she-goat was sacrificed in an attempt to placate the eruptive forces of nature and the underworld.

Vertigo Time Warp also known as a Solar Minimum

I'm not one to make a mountain out of a molehill, but I have to wonder about the Sun.  According to a CNN Science article, "The sun is experiencing a less active phase called 'solar minimum,'"
The article goes on to say: "...just like us, it (the Sun) goes through phases and changes. Over time, those changes in our star have become more predictable. Currently, it's going through a less active phase, called a solar minimum."

The sun experiences regular 11-year intervals including energetic peaks of activity, followed by low points. During the peak, the sun showcases more sunspots and solar flares.  Scientists at NASA say we're currently in a "Grand Solar Minimum." The last time this occurred was between 1650 and 1715.  

Curious on what the years 1650 to 1715 were about, I researched and found that those years are known historically as the Age of Louis XIV.  Louis ruled from 1643 to 1715.  The most notable events from this time was, war.  According to Wikipedia, France was the leading European power, and it fought three major wars: the Franco-Dutch War, the War of the League of Augsburg, and the War of the Spanish Succession. There were also two lesser conflicts: the War of Devolution and the War of the Reunions.  War was such a part of the time of Louis XIV that reference books such as An Encyclopedia of Global Warfare and Civilization by Cathal J. Nolan, write: "Dominated by the ambitions of France's King Louis XIV, Europe in the years 1650-1715 witnessed a series of wars from which emerged many of the theories, practices, and technologies that characterize modern warfare. 

Another interesting fact I found was that an outgoing French ambassador compared Trump to Louis XIV by saying that they were both "Unpredictable and uniformed."  That ambassador (Gérard Araud) went on to say:  “It is the end of an era, the era of neoliberalism. We don’t yet know what will succeed it,” Araud tweeted at 2 a.m. on the night Trump was elected. “After Brexit and this election, anything is possible. A world is collapsing before our eyes. Vertigo.”

Yes, Vertigo, the world of Donald Trump and Louis XIV.  Yesterday I told you the world under Dr Donald Trump is a world of chaos, but I think "Vertigo" is a better way of saying it. What are the other similarities between Trump and Louis XIV?  Take a seat, the similarities are Vertigo crazy. 

Of all the similarities between Trump and Louis XIV, the most notable are their egos.   Trump says he is the greatest president ever and everyone before him sucked (no shit, look it up).  Louis XIV, not only thought he was the greatest ruler, but also felt he was the Sun King and so had the church priest call him one.  Which the church happily did just as the Christians church today happily calls Donald Trump "Gods Handyman (paraphrased)." 


Louis XIV loved gold.  He had everything around him plastered in it:

Hall of Mirrors, Palace of Versailles.

Trump hotels are usually gold, well, fake gold, but still, gold:

Trump’s triplex is a marble-and-onyx-covered ode to Versailles that he calls “comfortable modernism.” It is a $100 million penthouse that sits atop the Trump Tower on Manhattan’s 5th Avenue. (Scott Frances/Otto)

Finally, from Odyssey Magazine:

Louis XIV was known for his aggressive nature throughout his reign. He engaged France in wars that many historians look back on as unnecessary, and his foreign policy was less than forgiving. During the 1680s, Louis XIV generated public hostility, creating tension and stunting growth among France's rigid class system. 

In a visit to New York's Trump Tower, one is easily amazed at the grandeur of Donald's shrine to himself. The entire building sparkles, and overwhelms the senses through the sheer excess present; individuals can see themselves on every single wall and are painted with a bronze shadow that falls over the entire interior. Guards check bags at the door, and watch the elevator to make sure only those with IDs are heading to the top. Four floors of glitter are open to the public eye, but after that only the very rich may continue. No matter what floor you're on, everything screams Trump: Trump Grill, a signature Trump clothing line, and Ivanka Trump's small jewelry case. Everything shouts Trump's name, singing of his fortune and fame.


The similarities between the Sun King and The Donald are uncanny. Slightly obsessed with themselves and able to dedicate an entire building in their honors? Check. Causing chaos? Check. Looking back to the original architectural cues of both buildings, a continued amazement of self-obsession can be easily noticed, and further comparisons of the two leaders increase with time. Louis XIV was controversial, without much of a soft side.  Trump is, well, Trump.


So, yes boys and girls, we are in a Vertigo Time Warp also known as a Solar Minimum. 

Stand up to Trump or bow to Satan. The choice is yours.

I've been trying to see things positively, but it's so hard.  Everything is so confusing?  In today's headlines for instance, you can read "Why the U.S. Is Not Heading For a Depression" right under another report that says, "We're Already in a Great Depression." Who do I believe? 

There are no answers.  Trump and his Bozo the Clown Show is giving us no clear advice.  Trump says one thing and does another.  He says we should wear mask in public but never wears one himself.   His own guidelines say we should continue in lock down until 14 days of lowering numbers, which hasn't happened in the cities where he is now supporting the red-neck melitia protestors with a wink.  What chaos!

When I was a Christian, I remember how a preacher told me that chaos is the work of the devil

(1 Corinthians 14:33 - For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.).  The Preacher Man was talking about the war protesters who were burning flags and protesting the Vietnam War.  "God doesn't like chaos," he told me and it stuck with me.  I mean, I never liked chaos myself, that's why I became a Buddhist.  

I wonder why none of the Christians are saying things about the Chaos Trump is creating by saying one thing and doing another?  Are they... scared?  Have they been eating so much of their Chic-Fil-a For Jesus chicken that they've become... chicken shits? 

Stand up to Trump or bow to Satan.  It's that simple ass whole.

Man, that Jesus chicken does sound good.
