{Newsweek 23/7} JD Vance's 'childless cat lady' attack on Kamala Harris sparks 'disgust'

Scorn towards ‘childless cat ladies’ and calls for forcing women to give birth are major tenets of the Christian nationalists at the moment. A cursory scan of X (formerly Twitter) will quickly reveal thousands upon thousands of accounts of people screaming ‘we need more babies’, in spite of the fact the world has over eight billion people at present and cannot handle the load. I would like the next Vice President to tell us what he and his Christian soldiers intend to do to those of us deemed unfit for their theocratic, reality-defying utopia? He, of course, would not be completely forthcoming about what they intend to do about it, but we shall soon find out (think Auschwitz).

Kamala Harris v Donald Trump: An initial prediction of the electoral map

My gut feeling on how this election turns out. Time will show that Democrats have made the most colossal blunder in American political history. It is ‘progressive’ Democrats, and not so much #Cult45, that will put Donald Trump back in the White House. Damn fools.

Only halfway decent POTUS of my lifetime is bullied out of continuing his reelection bid, Democrats with blood on their hands

{BBC 21/7} President Joe Biden announces he will no longer seek re-election and endorses Kamala Harris to run in his stead.

I would say that I am forever done with posting about US politics, yet I know that is unlikely to endure. No matter, I shall never be enamoured of this foul age. President Joe Biden is of a different era, and for that reason, I favour him. Yet, there is no restoring sanity; the nation and its people are too far gone. It is all but a clown show now. None of you Democrats reading this shall beat me over the head, for I shall likely cast my vote for Kamala Harris, despite not being overly fond of her—though, remember, I dwell in a solid blue state, so technically I need not do aught—but we are about to learn the lengths to which the American people will go to avoid being governed by a black woman. To say it shall be ugly is putting it mildly. Shoot not the messenger.

Beyond any doubt, in these past eight years, Americans have proven they value being entertained and having their prejudices validated above all else. They will go to great lengths—even to their own detriment—to preserve this wretched state of affairs. Not a serious country, not a serious people. Joe Biden is too good for this wicked nation, and we shall reap what we have sown, which is another Donald Trump presidency and all the horrors that shall ensue.

Donald Trump: ‘the infallible one’

Maybe I shall start referring to Trump as ‘the infallible one’. He spends years running his mouth and pissing people off, but then an incident happens and somehow it is President Biden who needs to tone down the rhetoric. Golden Boy Trump can be as fat, old, and senile as he pleases, but even purported supporters of the President say it is Mr Biden who is too old and must go. Orange Godking Trump can stage a coup attempt without facing legal consequences (not in earnest, at least), and yet even President Biden and world leaders calmly wish him well and condemn political violence. All the while, #Cult45 shouts that it is ‘the left’ and President Biden causing all the problems. (And *some* on the left are causing problems, this is true). Trump can spend years hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and be all over the travel logs, but somehow it is Biden who is the pedo because - and this is a fault of Mr Biden’s - he tends to be a bit too touchy-feely with people. No matter, we are not even scratching the surface of what this man, Donald Trump, has gotten away with. No American in history has been more pampered and protected than he. I am grateful he was not killed, and I absolutely condemn anyone celebrating the actions of Thomas Matthew Crooks. But the double standards are glaring, and I will not stop speaking out against them. #Biden2024

One can only run their mouths and threaten their political enemies, piss on our allies while praising America’s enemies, and domineer over all media for so long before someone pushes back. Of course, this all could have been staged, as well. Never put it past those who are constantly crying 'conspiracy' to engage in a conspiracy.

Why ultra-right-wing populist J.D. Vance is on the shortlist of Trump running mates

Getty Images

Rumour has it that J.D. Vance, the 39 y.o. Christian nationalist senator from Ohio, will be Donald Trump’s running mate. It would be a curious choice that probably would not bring one single vote to the table that Trump has not already secured. Vance is absolutely a dystopian extremist decidedly out of touch with the social and cultural views of the majority of Americans. Nominating a woman to combat Kamala Harris would seem more logical than another white male in a more sane political environment, and this is not the 1950s.

J.D. Vance really only makes any sense if one considers who is actually doing the picking (hint, that individual sits in the Kremlin). To quote a commenter on Reddit: ‘maybe Trump should worry about why Daddy might want a pliable 39 year old a heartbeat away. He was a useful idiot, but the big orange dildo is probably way more trouble than he's worth to Putin now’.

After being interrogated by a disrespectful little toad named Stephanopoulos, President Biden should say ‘no more Mr Nice Guy’; no sense in maintaining civility at a moment when Americans no longer respect it, and fascism is knocking on the door

Getty Images

President Biden should have, in no uncertain terms, bidden George Stephanopoulos of ABC News to go forth and fornicate with himself and should have walked off the set. Likewise, he should have refused to debate Donald Trump, for it proved both a folly and a waste of everyone’s bloody time.

Americans today respect neither civility nor common manners - behold how they (perchance thou art among them) react on social media whenever another posts anything they dislike or disagree with; they respond with name-calling, childish emojis and memes meant to degrade, and the like. Civility is sneered at, considered a weakness. Go figure, much like their idol Donald Trump, this is a land of thin-skinned bullies who were long ago rendered incapable of expressing themselves any other manner.

Perchance, Mr Biden might actually benefit politically by adopting a firmer stance with those acting in bad faith, rather than always striving to be the bigger man. Start giving these knaves a taste of their own medicine, Mr President, for none in modern American history deserve retribution more. And it is the only language they understand. As someone who dearly wishes to live in a more civil society, I can plainly see that being the bigger person when dealing with Trump, his supporters, and enablers has gotten us nowhere over the past eight years.

For the sake of securing President Biden’s victory in November and maintaining continuity afterwards, Kamala Harris must be replaced immediately

US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris at a campaign event. Photo: Andrew Harnik/Getty Images.

If anyone in this administration needs to be replaced, it is the Vice-President. Hard truth: if re-elected, President Biden shall almost certainly be compelled to step down shortly afterwards, and shall not be able to serve another four years (neither shall his orange goblin adversary, and may we proclaim this fact to the hilt). Yet, we absolutely cannot afford to abandon President Biden at this crucial moment. The calls from within the Democratic Party and among their allies in the mainstream media for the President to step aside are verging on treasonous. Having said that, we cannot ignore that Mr Biden is growing too old to do this for much longer.

There is a reason Kamala Harris is not often seen or heard: the VP’s demeanour is such that she is not a particularly likeable or relatable person. She lacks charisma and sorely lacks public speaking ability (and the United States desperately needs a well-spoken leader once more, with none in immediate sight). She is the sort who makes for an excellent district attorney but is not a capable politician. Her ascension would only invite further radicalisation of the Christian nationalist, white supremacist right (#Cult45 for short), who are already on the verge of declaring all-out civil war. To be blunt, Kamala Harris would be vanquished in an election against Donald Trump, and the consequences would be devastating. America simply does not like her, for both proper and improper reasons, yet many of these reasons are valid.

I suggest President Biden replace VP Harris with a lady of moderate politics and disposition, white in complexion. America is - then, now, and forever - a racial basket case, but now is not the hour to fret about such matters: we have a dictatorial menace to vanquish, and utmost practicality and caution must prevail. As the Christian nationalist Heritage Foundation points out - and herein they are correct - it is too late to place another candidate on the ballot in many states. We ride with President Biden until he completes the job - the task of defeating Donald Trump and the GOP in this election - but thereafter we need someone who is capable of tempering the fervour and governing with prudence. That fair lady from Minnesota, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, may be whom I have in mind, but not necessarily her. Someone of that moderate, centrist ilk. #JustSaying #Biden2024

UK General Election 2024: a tale of the timeless resilience and efficiency of British governance vs. the decay of American ‘democracy’. Americans ought take heed (but will not, naturally)

Sir Keir Starmer celebrates his electoral victory, 5 July 2024. Photo: PA Media

Though not without blemish, the political tapestry of the UK persists as a marvel of efficiency and justice, as demonstrably proven anew. As an American of WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) blood, I say #Murica must take heed; the state of our system of governance lays bare its flaws as never in history. A fair election, conducted with civility and respect, unfolded in the Motherland, a beacon for how a nation should conduct a fair election. If only Americans were willing to pay attention and were not hellbent on national suicide.

Twelve long hours have I spent as I write this, eyes glued to Sky News, and what anyone who followed mine lead would have a revelation: the electoral process within the realm of Britannia doth function with grace and order, a stark contrast to the sorry state of affairs that plagues the United States. For 237 years, the American constitution hath served as a bulwark, yet time, alas, hath rendered it painfully outdated. It has reached the limits of its usefulness, offering but a tattered defense against the ills of the modern age. Corruption festers at America’s systemic core, a corruption beyond repair. This unwieldy empire, a monstrous polyglot, hath grown too vast to govern as one. The only path forward is a sundering, carving up the land into more manageable pieces.

The British system is time-tested and reliable, and shall function a hundred years and longer. It shall function with unwavering purpose (assuming the planet has not been destroyed years hence). For all the beatings they are enduring, notice how the Tories are not blaming their historic loss on baseless cries of election fraud, nor do they forment rebellion in the vein of a J6-style coup attempt, nor are they calling for white supremacist theocracy.

Relative to our zealous #Cult45 and adjacent Christofascist goons, even Reform UK displays a commendable restraint in matters of societal control. Nigel Farage is a man of eloquent tongue and gentle demeanor, leading a group far less fixated upon social dictates and the micromanagement of peoples’ lives. and I find that he and his bunch are not anywhere near as obsessively focused on social issues and wanting to control all aspects of citizens’ lives. Compared to the current GOP, the Tories of the past fourteen years appear as paragons of reason and competence. Yet, the Britons have proven themselves not entirely lost to the allure of charismatic conmen or the throes of moral hysteria as #Murica is in its twilight time.

The United Kingdom shall still be standing when the United States of America is but a memory. A yearning grips my soul, a longing for a place unseen, yet somehow deeply familiar, a home I've never known in this earthly coil. It has been a while since I last delved into my ancestral research, but I shall do so over the next few days. Take me home.

Kremlin prepares law to bind the wombs of Russia's daughters and essentially force them to give birth

Photo: Natalia Kolesnikova/AFP/Getty Images.

An extreme fervor for fertility amongst those who cloak themselves in piety and nationalism - and predominantly amongst men - is quickly becoming rampant in #Murica. Five minutes on Twitter will confirm that this is a major tenet of the Christian nationalists. From whence springs this obsession? Where they get nearly all their propaganda and marching from, of course, Mother Russia. Eight billion people inhabit this mortal coil, far more than was ever needed or is sustainable: yet fascists everywhere repeat the same refrain of 'we need more babies’. Indeed, Russia’s birth rates are lower than those of much of the world, but the last thing this world needs is any more Orcs. {Daily Wrap 28/6 - Kremlin targets child-free ideology: new laws to boost birth rates}

Eradicating the global fascist plague: a call for the restoration of British global leadership in troubled time on general election day in the UK

The Palace of Westminster. Photo: Britannica.

Today is the day a nation rid itself of the Tory menace that hath plagued their land for fourteen years. I hold not my breath that the US shall follow their lead regarding Trump and the GOP, but I am confident Sir Keir Starmer shall set Britain aright, as he did with the Labour Party after the disgraceful Jeremy Corbyn years.

France teeters on the brink of neo-fascism, and Germany cannot manage all alone. The United States is collapsing, Russia is not retreating from Ukraine, Hungary is drunk on nationalist populism and becoming a grave problem within the EU, China waxeth ever bolder, the Middle East is in flames, and India is swiftly becoming a menace under Modi. The UK must step up once more as leaders of the free world.

I am hopeful that mine two primary ancestral homelands, the UK and Germany, shall lead the resistance against the neo-fascist and theocratic tyranny poisoning the planet. The country fate hath placed me in, and the gaggle of idiots and sadists that populate it, shall not save the world this time. The United States and Canada were noble once, when mine grandfather and uncles fought to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan. Yet, the United States hath now become a monster, and Canada is increasingly irrelevant under the leadership of an insufferable, inept narcissist. In mine heart, today I am in England. #Labour #SirKeirStarmer #LeaderOfTheFreeWorld

If we are destined to live under a dictatorship, then pick one’s poison wisely: for the sake of our survival, President Biden must now go scorched earth on Trump and friends, the MSM, and all who enable and support these treasonous entities

The Biden campaign needs to go scorched earth, emphasising that a vote for Donald Trump is a vote for the genocide of the Ukrainian people. A vote for Trump is a vote to destroy Social Security and Medicare, and impoverish and kill millions of seniors and disabled people.

Furthermore, it is crucial to remind the public - on a daily basis - what an inept buffoon Trump was during his four rotten years in the White House, most especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. No president in American history - save for James Buchanan - mismanaged a major crisis worse than Trump did with COVID-19, and this nation of shallow idiots with short attention spans needs a harsh reminder.

Finally, it is time for the administration to put the fear of God into our mainstream, corporate ‘news’ outlets. As in forcefully shut them down and charge various individuals in these outlets with sedition and treason. Start with CNN, Fox News, and the New York Times.

The Supreme Court has just ruled presidents are above the law, civil war has been all but officially declared, so no more playing around. If our destiny is to live under a dictatorship, then I will take my chances with Mr. Biden as the dictator and not Trump and his band of theocratic, Putin-loving bozos.

A nation's disgusting double standards when it comes to President Joe Biden and convicted felon Donald Trump

Reuters

The MSM is veering out of control and hath gone absurdly, pathetically over-the-top with their lamentations about the president’s debate performance, now speculating and calling for him to step aside. Allow me to be blunt: F**k all the way the hell off with this inappropriate and seditious rhetoric! Yes, the debate was ill-advised and should not have taken place. However, these swine in the MSM do actively strive to return Trump to power; never mind that he is a senile old fossil himself, but since when do any rules and standards apply to our orange godking? No president in my lifetime hath been treated worse by the media and the general public than Mr. Biden, and no president - no American, period - hath ever been more privileged and coddled by the same parties than Donald Trump. Not a serious country, not a serious people. #Murica

Senate GOP blocks bill to protect access to contraception, claiming it is 'unnecessary'

Though not mentioned in the AP article, extreme natalism is increasingly becoming mainstream in Republican/#Cult45 circles, and any Republican who saith they voted against this bill because it is ‘unnecessary’ is gaslighting the public. These extremists, such as the pictured Elon Musk, along with their natural inclination to control women and their bodies, are trying to convince the general public that there are not enough babes to sustain humanity. There are eight billion souls in the world, more than twice the population at the time of mine birth in 1978, and roughly half of them are starving and living in extreme poverty. Frankly, bringing a life into this world today is an act of sadism, but I digress.

Thin-skinned Donald Trump receives boos, yet also cheers, whilst speaking at the ‘libertarian’ convention

Photo: Jose Luis Magana/AP

Reuters - Trump booed and heckled by raucous crowd at Libertarian convention

Something a little odd about a wanna-be dictator who peddles fascism and Christian nationalism addressing a group that calleth itself ‘libertarian’, yet I have long believed the Libertarian Party to be a collection of crackpots and rank hypocrites. COVID made this crystal clear: they did not wish to be forced to wear a mask or take a vaccine, but had zero concern for the rights and liberties of innocent people around them, unwittingly exposed to deadly germs. This lot truly believes it is their right to make others sick. Others may stay home if they do not like it; I saw this attitude explicitly expressed repeatedly during the pandemic. ‘Liberty and freedom for me, but not for thee’.

These ‘libertarians’ would be wise to remember that Trump, the GOP, and #Cult45 do demand he be treated as infallible. Should he regain the presidency, none shall be allowed to boo or criticise the orange god-king, and every aspect of our lives shall be micromanaged by far-right busybodies and tyrants. Is the Libertarian Party actually ‘libertarian,’ or are they but a gaggle of quasi-fascists who just happen to favour smoking weed and despise paying taxes? A rude awakening eventually awaits all these malcontents with their heads up their arses. #Biden2024

Alito's 'Appeal to Heaven' flag: another Christian nationalist dog whistle

Photo: Michael Perez/AP

AP - The ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag evolves from Revolutionary War symbol to banner of the far right

It is time to call these individuals, from leadership to the rank-and-file supporters, for what they truly are: terrorists. Just as most Muslims came to either embrace or tolerate Jihadist activity and extreme restrictions on their liberties and freedoms, American Christian nationalists are experiencing a similar process of radicalisation in our current era. Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas should not serve upon the Supreme Court; instead, they should await trial on charges of sedition. A shame it is that, by and large, people consider not the all-too-real possibility of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ becoming reality when they vote for president, nor take more seriously the danger these holy rollers represent to us all.

Even the overturning of Roe v. Wade hath failed to kindle a fervent outcry from those sorely beset by this egregious encroachment upon the lives of women. What I discern at this present moment is a country that has given up, and is about to yield unto tyranny in exchange for the fleeting promise of a few extra dollars in their coffers (which will not materialise, of course). I behold a realm of defeated and tired souls, inclined to let the bully, Donald Trump, return to power for he hath cunningly vilified President Biden. Donald Trump should be the most despised man in America, yet it is Joe Biden who bears the brunt of hatred. The propaganda, the brainwashing, and the bullying, combined with the cruel realities of COVID, inflation, climate change, and global turmoil, have reduced the American people to crying for mercy and submitting to the authority of an evil cabal that intends to dictate every facet of their existence.

Yet, this shall prove a harsh reckoning; ere long, millions shall awaken to the grievous error they shalt have wrought (this November), and shall pine for the return of Joe Biden. For his own part, Mr. Biden may have to resort to extraordinary measures to save this country from itself whilst there is still time; yet, though I strive to lend my support and will unequivocally vote for him again, I harbour doubts as to whether he possesses the fortitude to endure much longer. Nor doth there dwell within the American masses any remnant of fighting spirit. 'Tis akin to the year 1932, and the fall of the Weimar Republic.

I can feel it in the air; America seems to be losing hope, mirroring the despair that once gripped Germany, and thus, they will endure the hardships the Germans were subjected to following World War II and the collapse of Nazism. However, unlike Germany, America will never recover or regain its global influence: the once mighty empire is in a state of inexorable decline. Ours is an empire plagued by divisions - too vast, too diverse, and too at odds with itself to ever truly be a nation in the sense that Germany, Japan etc. are nations. While this may sound overly pessimistic, remember that my faith in Americans died completely with the 2016 presidential election, and each passing day since has only reinforced the reasons as to why that faith is never coming back to life.

NCAA: 1 in 3 star athletes receive abuse, threats by bettors {ESPN 5/18}

Methinks I am not sufficient of a constitutional scholar to know if the federal government hath any legitimate authority to regulate gambling, and I generally do despise any nanny state tendencies I detect in others. All said, I really do hate gambling. Years ago, I laboured in gas station convenience stores and felt like a glorified drug pusher with all the scratch tickets I did sell to Massholes. Most of the folk buying them were downright pathetic, but I digress. Furthermore, I have long turned a blind eye to gambling in my waning enthusiasm for horse racing, knowing that it hath always been the lifeblood of the industry. Yet, for the life of me, I shall never understand why any individual would desire to play with money. It maketh absolutely no sense.

Absolutely nothing of goodly import is emerging from the explosion of legalised sports betting currently taking place. When combined with the endemic, regressive, and all-pervading hatred raging in the United States at this time, it doth create a deadly combination. The ESPN article notes that female collegiate basketball players are about thrice more likely than their male counterparts to receive abuse. One day, somebody is going to get killed, but it will not matter to the puissant interests invested in the commons casting away coin they cannot afford to lose. It ought to go without saying, this is beyond shameful and yet another sign, among thousands, that the people of #Murica are, in laymen’s terms, losing their s**t.

Law enforcement in the U.S. seized over 115 million fentanyl pills in 2023, up from 71 million in 2022, and only 50,000 in 2017

Darwin Brandis/iStock

Fentanyl, with potency exceeding fiftyfold that of heroin, is primarily manufactured in laboratories in India and China before clandestine entry into the U.S., typically via Mexico. According to this DW article, opioid addiction is far less rife in European nations endowed with robust and functioning healthcare systems, evidenced by a mere forty-nine (49) recorded fentanyl overdose deaths in the European Union in all of 2021. In stark contrast, the U.S. witnessed more than 200 deaths per day in 2022, and that may be a conservative estimate.

Nearly every solution enacted at federal, state, and local levels to combat the opioid crisis has been punitive and counterproductive. I dread America will persist in this approach for years to come, reflective of a society divided and politicians, particularly on the right and within the GOP, increasingly keen to exacerbate hardships for those their respective factions deem as societal outcasts. More needless suffering, deaths, and imprisonment shall ensue, and #Murica will become more and more of a s**thole country.

DOJ recommends downgrading marijuana from Schedule I to III, does not endorse federal legalisation

Full legalisation nationwide, and the neutering of moral busybodies who routinely treat adults as mere children, are the only acceptable outcomes. Our lives should not be subject to the whims of those yearning for 1950s America; nor should there be a crime if there are not any victims. {AP 5/16}

MAGA: NOT a movement of rugged individualism, free thought, or human liberty

Rich Logis - former MAGA activist turned anti-MAGA activist, one of the rare few who have come to their senses, or ever will - sheds light on how #Cult45 masquerades as a movement of rugged individualism, when in reality, it embodies the opposite. Christian nationalism, the cornerstone ideology of #Cult45, is as collectivist in its essence as Communism and all the other ‘isms’. Furthermore, it is worthy of note that *all* its adherents are resolute in imposing their beliefs and way of life upon the rest of us. They must be thwarted. #NeverTrump #Biden2024

If extraordinary measures must be taken to prevent national suicide, then so be it: The Biden campaign needs to launch an an all-out, all encompassing PR assault on the bloody imbeciles of #Murica, putting the fear of God into them against restoring Trump

President Biden and his people urgently need to initiate a comprehensive public relations campaign, aiming to instill a sense of urgency and gravity over the repercussions of voting for Donald Trump, or most any GOP candidate on the ballot, this fall. Alas, I see scant evidence of this happening to a necessary-enough degree, and the MSM is not helping matters with its constant doom and gloom coverage of this White House.

The widespread and increasing animosity towards Israel and the Jewish people has stirred a significant portion of the left to oppose the president. Moreover, a considerable portion of the remaining population are misinformed, oft harbouring malice and attaching themselves to #Cult45. Additionally, the Department of Justice hath lamentably failed in its duty to dispense justice: Trump should have been incarcerated, at the very least, three years hence, following J6. The man incited a most egregious insurrection, and the indifference displayed is alarming, mayhap even from President Biden himself. Adhering strictly to conventional norms and taking the high road hath not yielded positive results for Mr. Biden, nor for those of us who have been steadfast in supporting him.

Donald Trump's presidency from 2017 to 2021 was a calamity on most fronts - even if he had performed perfectly otherwise, the grossly incompetent mishandling of the COVID pandemic would be a sole factor to forever disqualify him from any leadership henceforth (I would not entrust the man to oversee a Target or Walmart location). With 91 felony charges pending against him and his dubious association with America's worst adversary, Vladimir Putin, Trump's legal woes incessantly dominate the news. Despite all this, too many Americans are apathetic, allowing him to remain a credible contender for re-election.

Is this the image we desire to present to the world? Do we find contentment in being viewed as a jest amongst nations? We are going on, approximately, our third decade of being the most despised country on earth; remember, the world hated George W. Bush, and Mr. Bush is most decidedly a very benign figure in comparison to the useless golden boy that immediately followed him in office, and, verily, in comparison to Donald Trump.

I would advise President Biden that the extreme factions on both the right and left of America already harbour disdain for him and will support Trump or enable his return, regardless. Instead, I suggest Mr. Biden should give these various folks something to really hate him over. If the political centre is to hold, Mr. Biden must reach out to those who are still reachable but are not actively engaged and all too susceptible to outdated 'it's the economy, stupid' rhetoric; along with those millions who abstain from voting or paying any attention altogether. It is imperative to continually remind Americans how awfully Donald Trump performed as president during those four years. Because, at the moment, it appears a whole lot of them may be suffering from amnesia and chronic fatigue.

Our national security, Social Security, individual liberties, and even our very lives are at stake, yet we appear paralyzed and disoriented. If President Biden must take unconventional measures to prevent national suicide, I will support him wholeheartedly. He may never be Mr. Popularity, and that is more than acceptable to him so long as he serves honourably and begins the process of cleaning up all the filth polluting this land.

Newspeak emerges from the pages of '1984' and enters the reality of the 21st century: indeed, Orwell was not merely a writer of fiction, but a prophet

Shepard Fairley/Penguins Books Limited

Purely anecdotal, and examples I will not proffer, but doth mine eyes alone notice that, of late, people's grammar and language skills seem to be deteriorating further, and a more rapid trajectory? Should we not recall '1984' and how the proles were gradually groomed to converse in Newspeak, a simplified version of English crafted to quell critical thinking? '1984' doth swiftly approach as veritable truth. Be alarmed; the degradation of our mother tongue is not something to dismiss lightly.

‘30% of children ages 5 through 7 are using TikTok—despite the platform’s policy that you can’t sign up until age 13’. {Ted Gioia 4/28}

VIDEO: Trump worship has turned MAGA into a sexual fetish. Even after eight years of this cultish folly, the madness hath no end. Let none cease to remain alarmed and on high alert. #Cult45 are in a worse state than we have realised.

History to be made today: Trump becomes first former U.S. POTUS to stand trial on criminal charges

Thirty-four felony counts against him, and still the GOP nominee to face President Biden this fall. Consider this post a daily reminder, #Murica, that what is unfolding is far from normal or proper. It never has been, and despite efforts by all of the tentacles of #Cult45 to normalize it, it never will be. {BBC 4/15}

The eclipse comes and goes, and #Qanon and various groups appear to be embarrassed once more. Do they care? Do they still ‘trust the plan’? (Short answer: the only ‘plan’ is hating and hurting Jews, and every single follower is aware of it)

Getty Images

The eclipse has passed, and no new catastrophe has emerged, once again leaving the tin foil hat-wearing 'Pepe' crowd with egg on their faces. Do the 'trust the plan' #Qanon enthusiasts still ‘trust the plan’? Sadly, the answer remains 'yes', as there is a complete lack of shame and dignity at all times with these people.

All the trappings we see from these folks - the many slogans, the idolization of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the stupid frog, the fixation on pedophiles and child trafficking - are thinly veiled cover for their one overriding purpose: hating and disempowering Jews. It matters zero to them if their ‘plan’ is grounded in reality; they are fervent Christian nationalists with a severely distorted sense of reality, and a highly tuned antipathy to all who do not believe as they do.

That said, every #Cult45 acolyte knows, deep down, that Donald Trump did not win the 2020 presidential election, and Trump and his enablers know he did not win; they shout 'Trump won' in our faces as a form of abuse, not because anybody thinks it is true. #Cult45 will be proven wrong time and time again, and every time they will only intensify their hatreds and willful delusions. It is organized insanity in service of neo-Nazism and white supremacy.

Do not underestimate the absurdity and cruelty these committed fanatics are willing to perpetrate. Despite their willful delusion regarding specific details, their profound fear and hatred of the Jewish people remain unwavering in the grand scheme of things. This hatred is as ancient as time itself, a malignant cancer that will likely endure for hundreds and thousands of years to come - assuming the world still stands, but I digress.
