March 17, 2025 (Evacuation Day-Massachusetts Independence Day) - Billionaire Welfare! The Tories are back!

The time has come to rekindle the spirit of Samuel Adams circa 1774. Enough with this tyranny of wealthy buffoons!  We have lost our country to an orange zealot with the mind and temperament of a ten year old thanks to corrupt Republican (and many Democratic) politicians in the pockets of billionaires. Our country has lost its character, its trustworthiness, and any shred of decency. Our word no longer means shit. Our politicians have abandoned their constituents, allies and self proclaimed American ideals.

Now that one party is in control of all branches of the government, and the plan is to cut taxes for the rich and corporations again (you middle and low income slobs, as usual, get shit), which last time resulted in a three trillion dollar deficit per year. This time they intend to offset the cuts to the people who need it least by insanely cutting government expenditure with no thought or idea as to how to go about it (that stuff that benefits you middle and low class slobs). Of course, the socially retarded leech who bought the Cheating Cheeto the election and as a result, a coveted Get Out of Jail Card (made available by the now comatose Mitch McConnell), has been given the task of leading the charge.

He and his merry band of juvenile computer hackers with no life experience are running willy-nilly having no idea what they are breaking but no doubt absconding any info that may be of personal monetary value down the road. Elon Grimm, the beak lipped shrew, boasts of his Fairy Tale accomplishments of saving billions only to have to come back and say he misread it by about three zeros … "Tee-hee, oh well, the boobs on social media will run with the erroneous number for months. Mission accomplished".

The reality is there isn't enough government in total to cut. As usual, Republicans are rummaging around the sock draw with dreams of sweeping under the rug the questionable tapping into the Social Security Fund they been doing all these years. The fund was supposed to be set up like an IRA for the tax payer. The individual put money in over their career, it is invested and it's there when they retire. Of course, the level of contribution cuts off at a certain salary and highly paid individuals stop contributing and corporations stop matching, something which is conveniently glossed over when seeking cuts to the program.

Meanwhile, these frauds steal billions and billions and billions. Let's call it what it is - Billionaire Welfare. It would probably take the entire payouts of the social services department to equal the payouts to just Musk alone never mind all the other fucked up, "too big to fail" screw ups. And these bozos are never held accountable! Why is that? It might be because Republican administrations tend to get rid of all the government employees who are in the process of investigating them like Trump did for Musk's companies when he walked in the door.

So there is not enough money in the budget to trim and cover the giveaways and tax breaks to billionaires. So let's do tariffs, the morons won't realize they're paying the billionaires' share of the deficit. They'll just think prices went up. And, the corporations get their 20% profit on the increased prices to boot! A Triple Fuck! Oh joy!

So let's recap. Less taxes for the rich and corporations, less services to the middle and lower class, and higher prices on everything in this country (don't forget we're deporting all the migrants, so no more cheap labor in the food and health industries). Make America Great Again? Yeah, just like it was prior to the Civil War!

I suggest some tech savvy organization develop a website. Its purpose is to alert the world of any Republican Senator, Congressmen or Supreme Court Justice's whereabouts when they leave the Capital or residence. The purpose is to have impromptu flash mobs show up wherever they are and heckle them as traitors, cowards and fascists. No sense in letting them enjoy their misbegotten gains and graft. The size of mob doesn't matter. Anyone nearby who considers themselves a patriot will do. They can be called MinuteMobs and the site maybe called "minutemob.com".

Dear National News Media: Please stop making out Elon to be some fricken genius. He just a rich opportunist, socially retarded, nepo baby who seems to be crashing and burning everything he acquires including the United States of Scam-erica.

February 23, 2025 - Second term, second devastating debacle!

It hasn't even been a month this time. President Fulashit has rolled out of his Bag of Cheetos Sleep Chamber and unleashed yet another cataclysmic catastrophe on an unsuspecting American public. Old Bumblecluck wasn't happy just being know as the inept idiot who dismantled our defenses against infectious diseases just prior to the outbreak of Covid and then massively mishandled the countries reaction, resulting in over 1,200,000 deaths, more than DOUBLE our body count in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, The Gulf War, Afghanistan and 9/11combined.

No, this go around he sold out the country to an invasive species for $100 million in campaign contributions in order to get a desperately needed get out of jail card called the Presidency. The species in question is the leech like South African Beaked-Lipped Musk Shrew.

Shrouded in a seemingly impenetrable coat of inherited wealth, it blindly eats its way through other peoples' bright ideas and puts his bright ideas to work, immediately setting the original intent on the road to ruin. Now it is on a mission to fire, de-fund, or disarm any governmental agency, official or employee that can interfere with the subsidies or impact taxes for his bright ideas of exploding self driving cars, exploding rockets to nowhere, and various drilling operations into brains, intellectual property and places tunnels aren't meant to go.

WARNING: The South African Beaked-Lipped Musk Shrew has been known to carry offspring in his pouch for the purpose of using them as a shield to diffuse and distract belligerent threatening inquisitors, totally disregarding the future mental well being of the young welp. After all there are plenty more where it came from.

February 11, 2025 - Drips and Drops of Ooze?

o   The greatest price of refusing to participate in politics is being governed by your inferiors. —Plato's "The Republic". Yup. And here we are. The Un-United States of Scam-erica has approximately 336,000,000 citizens of which 244.700,000 or so are voting eligible. Now and former President Fulashit received 77,300,000 votes or ONLY 31% , which basically equals the number  of extremely wealthy business people, attorneys, oligarchs, Aryan Brotherhood and closeted Klan members, brain drained Christian Evangelicals, unaffiliated hateful people, relatives and people owed money by Fulashit hoping to recoup by keeping him out of jail, J.D. Vance's futon, and many angry simpletons not previously belonging to any of the preceding chat groups (approximations courtesy The Statistical Research Institute for Factual Sounding Social Media Engagements). Not quite the mandate the mathematically challenged and intentionally deceitful would have you believe.

2,900,000 million voted for candidates who have discovered the joys of being a perennial Presidential Candidates, having mastered the Ralph Nader Master Class on the art of earning a living using the generous campaign finance loopholes, brought to you by your Supreme Court via the Citizen's United Decision. Thanks to the inclusionary wisdom of the Electoral College, these candidates have no shot of winning and would be flabbergasted and scared shitless if they ever did.

The real victor in this election was APATHY and to maybe a lesser extent voter intimidation. 89,400,000 or 36% of the eligible population did not vote. 83,300,000 of those did not register. These numbers do not include felons (like Fulashit), non-citizens nor the under aged children and teens. I imagine Germany in the 1930's had similar attitudes and impediments.

o   Another anti-social evil of the Internet -STREAMING! In 1992 Bruce Springsteen sang "57 Channels and nothing on". Fast forward 30 years and it would be "1000 Channels with a shitload on" but nobody's watching the same thing at the same time so they have lost a lot to talk about around the water cooler. Hell, now the water cooler is obsolete and people are seldom in the office at the same time unless it's for a meeting and they all bring their own bottled thing-a-ma-jig and get out of there as soon as possible - no time to stop, no time to talk, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! Young marketers to the rescue! We'll have prearranged Watch Parties! No, no, can't do it Wednesday, how about Thursday? No that's no good for me nor Bob. Screw it, we'll each watch when we can and discuss it at … someday. The Internet!

o   Remember Covid, when the freighters in our harbors were backed up like the Sturbridge Toll Booth on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and Toilet Paper was scarcer than piping plovers? Prices shot through the roof! Notice that it's been four years and companies have only dropped their prices back a smidgen of what they rose. Why is that? I explain why that is over on my A.B.L.O.G.

o   Trump pledges 500 billion to fund A.I.? In other words, Siri, Alex, Cortina, Bixby and even Clippy will no longer be referred to as Snoopy Information Gathering Whores. Hence forth they will be elevated to the designation of Elite Private Soma Escorts (prone to occasional tics and hiccups)! More at The Book of Joe - A.I.? My Ass A.I. Chapter-3

o   For all the human race's puffery about their accomplishments, greatness and sanctimonious superiority they've proven themselves to be largely weak and moronic when it comes to what is considered to be virtuous. The self proclaimed most intelligent species on earth can't seem to conquer their inclination for greed, vanity, envy, gluttony, hate and sloth despite holding themselves out to be Holier than each other. Overall, we can't seem to get a handle on the concept of empathy and authentic compassion when it comes to political ideology and governance. It continually falls prey to greed and corruption. Throughout history, nations have built what they see as their greatness through theft of others' land and property, enslavement and extorting of labor through the monopolization and withholding of food, shelter, clothing, education and medical care. Book of Joe - Chapter 1

o   Origin of Musk - an odorific passing accompanying the queef of an oxen.

July 6, 2024 - The God Damn Liberal Media - Turns out he lied about that too. 

WTF! What happen to the American News Media? My God, when did they turn into spineless, brain dead simpletons? It's like Gladys Kravitz and Chicken Little had children out of wedlock.

They have no soul, no conscience, no spine. I watched the Biden interview with George Stephanopoulos and the after commentary by Jon Karl, Martha Raddatz and others. Everyone is focusing on Biden's one interview performance. They are completely ignoring the other candidate and Biden's accomplishments!

The other candidate lied throughout, made up statistics, and many times just didn't make sense!  He even once alleged that he reads! But he did it with clarity and conviction just like he's always done throughout his life of failures too numerous to list (See The Book of Joe-  Chapter 2 for a partial listing).

The guy is a Carney, a three card Monty Dealer, an after midnight '$19.95 … and if you act now' pitchman.  Not to mention he's a convicted felon, a rapist, a philanderer and soon to be outed pedophile.  If the bought and paid for Federalist Society judges weren't doing everything in their power to delay his trials, he'd probably be convicted of treason and selling secrets to foreign countries also. And the media, moderators and some members of congress don't nail him for it.

In the debate, Trump would blurt out a barrage of multiple lies and bogus statistics in each response. Biden's problem was his preparers had filled his head with a bunch of legitimate numbers to address issues on an individual basis not five or ten issues at a time in a one minute response, all while Trump kept babbling in his ear with his mic off, feet away from him.

His staff should have just told him just to call him a lying sac of shit in words suitable for TV knowing everything Trump says is garbage.

Are the media and congress reps succumbing to pressure from their bosses and donors? After all, the owners of these media networks and donors will be taking a big hit to their wallets if Trumps excessive tax cuts for the wealthy expire next spring as they are scheduled to. The Republicans frame it as the Liberal Media, but I think you'll find that the ownership many times is either Republican or just plain excessively rich fucks that reap huge financial windfalls by having a toady in a position of power who only demands a free reign to steal the silverware, state secrets and whatever else isn't tied down.

The media focuses on Biden's stutter and maybe a need for taking a nap more than most. Donald Trump played golf 307 days of his presidency that we know of (the most of any presidency).

Face it; from 2017 to 2020 we had a talking traffic cone with the mind of a sixth grader running the country.

His cabinet was made up of political favors with no experience in their fields. Many of the staff he hired, he soon fired - he only hired the best, he said. Infrastructure week never came. His wonderful 'medical plan in two weeks' was more of a secret than the nuclear codes and will probably be the subject of a Geraldo Rivera special when he opens a sealed vault in Mara Largo and finds a document with Affordable Care Act crossed out and Trumpet Care scribbled in. And don't forget, he decimated the CDC in China with cuts in 2018. This was the office that has been heading off viruses for generations and minimizing their impact on this country.

Despite being closer than any of us to the operations of the West Wing and the Executive Office staff, the press seems clueless as to their daily machinations and duties. Too much time spent on wardrobe and maintaining their dental work? Don't they understand that with caller ID now on all phones, polling is now obsolete due to the fact any sane person would never answer a call from a polling agency.

So they're basing the news on the opinions of chuckle heads who are happy to have someone to talk to. Besides the form of questions being used in most polls are crafted to elicit a sought after response.

Has anyone of those seeking Biden to step down, decided on the candidate who would have the best shot at winning the swing states? Remember, the Presidency is not a popularity contest, otherwise we wouldn't have had the Bush Jr. and Trump presidencies. They lost the popular vote.  Instead, the election is decided by the antiquated Electoral College whose sole purpose was to entice the less populated colonies to join the union. Has the press or Democratic congress reps mouthing off thought that through?

Because there is society of white middle-aged, racist, narcissistic, homophobic, misogynist, wealthy, habitual pocket-pool enthusiasts who have spent four years crafting a step by step game plan called Project 2025 in anticipation of Trump's return - and he owes them - big time - those legal teams aren't dumb enough to do business with Mr. Deadbeat without a prepaid retainer.

The on-air press must stop acting like the Karens of the social media world and start taking some responsibility for the future of this country. Be a responsible journalist instead of corporate lapdogs.

And by the way, Kamala would make an excellent President, should she be asked to take the reins mid-term. Where have you gone Walter Cronkite? Where is Will McAvoy and Howard Beale when you need them ...

“For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;” Ecclesiastes 1:18

Imagine, me of all people, opening with a passage from the Bible. "Sacrilege" the congregants will say! (me being a half-assed atheist who does believe there is an ultimate creator of unknown constitution, gender or political affiliation, but swears off any organized religion choosing to agree with Voltaire - “Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool.”). But I considered the statement a sage one and give kudos to the author, editor, translator and proof readers throughout time.

It seems the more I know about how things really work, the more saddened I am by the path the human race is taking. Don't get me wrong, learning is the most wonderful thing there is. What saddens me is how a wealthy ensconced malevolent few bend over backwards to suppress learning in a multiplicity of ways such as suppression of funding of public education and book banning, to name only two. Of course this doesn't carry over to private educational institutions where the cost of attendance is equivalent to the cost of a modest vacation home for the President of such institution.

History or Herstory is something that's needed to be taught as an in-depth analysis of causes and theories of why things happen and not only as a superficial sequential memorization of dates and events. What you'll see when you strip away platitudes of how great our accomplishments are and the "we" are as opposed to "them", is that the human race is consistently directed by a greedy few. They were able to do so mainly through veiled, large scale pilfering of wealth and clandestine ownership of authority (aka government). Thus they are able to maintain some form of enslavement of the masses that ensures their limiting the masses focus to obtaining food and shelter and an occasional treat or bobble.

This scenario has played out over and over and over and over and over ad infinitum throughout history AND WE DO NOT LEARN. Or we were suppressed from learning. Or we are so focused on maintaining and protecting our meager standards of living, we have no time to learn. Or we're just fucking tired from trying to get by and don't give a shit. Or the bought and paid for fortresses of authority seems insurmountable. Or we're old, and now have time to learn but not the time left to do anything about it or to be taken seriously when telling people about it.

After all, what do old people know that can't be found on the internet - the vessel of all knowledge and unbridled power. More on that later …

Today begins a recording of thoughts as they come with no set periodic schedule. It's a place to jot down wisdoms of my ego and observations flying through my mind when I'm shaving or lying in bed or driving in my car or cooking dinner or sitting on the can. Some choose to collect and assemble such into a grand work of self help non-fiction or heartfelt memoirs believing they have the answer to something which they alone have the secret and soon find out after publication and great efforts that hundreds from history, be it from Greece, China, India, Africa or Latvia et al, at one time thought or had the same idea or point of view. (There are currently 8.2 billion people on earth. Multiply that by the estimated number of generations with a deceasing factor of say 10% for each generation with a random factoring of meteor strikes and floods for early generations and you will see there is a good chance someone had each of your thoughts at one time).

I'll save you the $.99 to $20.00 you'd never spend nowadays on such a book and dole out my brain ooze piecemeal. You are offered choices of about 156 million book titles, thousands of video streaming channels, 8 crillion YouTubers, TikTokites, TwitterTwits, FacebookAddicts, RedditForgetitites, PinterestsinaDresses, and then … the Gamers, of course - to occupy the maybe two hours of your daily free time. My ooze is FREE and sitting here for when you're bored (until, of course, a publisher or influencer like Oprah find me and a large advance results. Then this blog will disappear faster than illegal scam call center when a bunch of large unmarked SUV's roll up outside the building.)

Another thing sparking this mode of pontificating is as I've gotten older more people I've known are popping up in obituaries along with the idols of my youth. Now when attending a wake or even a wedding, stories of events and memories of my past are recounted by others and make me realize, up to this point, the brain cells that contain those files had been alcohol swiped to the recycle bin and now had been restored due to this chance encounter. So screw the accumulating, it's time to Bloviate!
