Month: March 2025

Jabberwocky was a poem by Lewis Carroll composed mostly of made-up words that sounded almost like real words. Today on Fox News I listened to a talking head tell us, the audience, that what the Democrat Party needs is to rebuild itself in a new image because it’s dying while the Republican Party is surging in public opinion and approval.

That makes right now a good time to point out that while his words aren’t made up, his talking points are.

For eight years of Trump followed by Biden, and longer, the US has had but one political party with two names, Republican and Democrat. Public approval has been almost non-existent for either half of this Uni-Party so the polls were artificially inflated to make it seem like we were all still gung-ho for one side or the other.

We weren’t, the American public didn’t give a crap for either side, we were gung-ho for Donald Trump and the media was going nuts portraying him as an Evil Dictator to detract from his huge popularity. His popularity resulted from the fact that he wasn’t pushing a political agenda, he was trying to wrestle control of our country back from those who were destroying it.

At the end of his first term, the election was stolen from him and the American public as an alternative to having him killed, a choice some no doubt now regret because he continued to hold rallies and speak out for the following four years and in the course of this, changes were taking place in the direction of government that saw many politicians disengage themselves from the general corruption. Why this has come about, I don’t know, but it has and it may have to do with a split from China.

This is the change now perceived in many of the Republicans that is setting the party apart from the Democrats. The childish displays the Democrats put on at Trumps speech yesterday and that they continued with today at their Rebuttal are doing a lot to cement the view that the Democrat Party is dying, that there are two separate parties in the US again and the New Republican Party is going to fix everything and lead the nation forward to Greater Glory.

Jabberwocky. It’s all for show. The Democrat side put on a performance yesterday and today to increase the appearance of disparity by making themselves look worse, to restore the illusion that we are governed by two separate parties, and that one of them is dying. On the news now you hear the refrain that the Democrat Party is dying. You hear it a lot.

Well, WHAT HAPPENS when you live in a country with only one political party, what do you have? Most people call that a dictatorship.

The fact, that I’ve been repeating for years now, is that we’ve been living in a dictatorship for years. They just keep telling us it isn’t. Now, if the Democrat Party is kicked into the dustbin, they’ll still keep telling us that we have a democracy anyway, while the Democrat Party shrinks away to oblivion and no one votes for it anymore or if they do, it doesn’t matter because they’ll never get enough votes to win.

It may not disappear overnight but by the time Trump’s term is up, it will be a lot weaker if they keep this up. Who wants to vote for a party that keeps behaving shamefully? Everyone wants to be popular and be on the side that’s winning, no one wants the embarrassment of admitting that their horse came in last.

This will absolutely be Continued…

That meddling idiot, Tayip Recep Erdogan, the Forever President (dictator) of Turkey, is offering to send “peace-keeping troops” to Ukraine. This is an obvious attempt to interfere with the ongoing efforts of Pres. Trump to engage both Ukraine and Russia in reaching a cease-fire and peace agreement.

You don’t send troops into a country to wage peace. You send them there to fight, to wage war. If you want peace, you don’t get it by killing people, you get it by stopping the killing.

There’s a lot of mixed signals in Europe and the US both regarding Ukraine. Zelensky says he wants peace but acts to prolong the war. He refuses to hold elections, like a dictator, while claiming he’s trying to save the “democracy”. European NATO nations are preparing to send troops into Ukraine to fight the Russians. Trump wants to close a natural resources mining deal with Ukraine which would establish a permanent US economic presence in Ukraine, make Ukraine a US ally and partner and give Putin a good reason to back off, thereby bringing an end to this war, but it doesn’t help that he first demands that Zelensky apologize. Why would this matter even slightly in the face of a pending world war?

Pres. Trump recently rebuked Zelensky in a now famous Oval Office scene for playing around with World War 3. Now we have Turkey’s Erdogan intruding into what is already a very dangerous mess. Anywhere a conflict arises that’s in the general area, Erdogan shoves both feet into and makes everything much worse in his efforts to be a big Middle East and East Europe power player.

Zelensky is a dangerous man in his desire to stay in power and play off everyone against each other, but he’s too corrupt to last, in my estimation. He’s only in power now because he was able to spread a lot of free money around to those willing to do his bidding for a price. Now that Pres. Trump is cutting him off, France and the UK are offering to sent troops and fund him but their economies can’t replace the sums that the US had been sending and doing so will just direct some of Russia’s wrath toward them.

If Turkey’s troops are sent in and start fighting Russia, Russia will surely attack Turkey and Turkey is a member of NATO and a US ally, and the US has warplanes occupying part of the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, including bombers. At one time, 90 nuclear weapons were stored at Incirlik. I’ve read a few years ago that they were removed but can’t verify this.

It isn’t Zelensky who’s the real danger at triggering WW3, it’s all of them. It’s the combination, and the more actors who enter this stage, each with their own agenda, the more the confusion increases and the fog of war becomes thicker and darker.

Pres. Trump is absolutely right. For a long time I discounted any real possibility of another global war because China was always posed as the nation that would start it, and it’s the last thing the Chinese want.

Europe gave us our last two Great Wars and it looks like they want another one, and now I understand why the US government suddenly abandoned Leftist-ism and swung back to the Right. They see this coming and want no part of it.

The nations of the world are going through a realignment of alliances similar to events preceding WW2 and this bears watching, because if one state switches their military alliance to a more powerful neighbor, others may follow suit and entirely new power blocs may form to either dissuade potential attackers or become attackers. If the US can stop the war in Ukraine, they will stop what’s rapidly shaping up to become World War 3, and they better hurry before Erdogan gets troops in there and the idiots in France and the UK start pouring in money and troops. If they don’t, all bets may soon be off.

A last thought… For want of a nail, a kingdom was lost. A proverb well worth paying attention to. That demand by Trump for an apology from Zelensky bothers me. Zelensky will likely continue to refuse it. If so, Trump won’t complete the natural resources deal and that would leave the way open for World War 3. If I can see that, they can, too.

There’s no decorum in the British Parliament, they jump up and down, interrupt each other, shout at each other, stage walkouts and generally act like a Kindergarten class gone amok, and these are the wise and solemn representatives of the people? It’s a clown show, they should all be standing outside selling cotton candy and juggling bowling pins.

Last night at the State of the Union speech given by Pres. Trump, the first act of incompetent stupidity was by Congressman Al Green, an unkempt black man of low IQ, who loudly interrupted Pres. Trump at the start of his speech, standing and waving a cane while declaring that Trump “has no mandate”. A lie in itself, since the vote overwhelmingly gave him one.

Green refused to shut up and had to be escorted out by the security guards.

The entire Democrat section, which was seated separately from the Republicans, never applauded, never stood with the rest of Congress to acknowledge any of the very deserving people being honored, and kept waving little signs that said things like “Elon Steals” and “Trump Lies” and they made themselves look like idiots by doing so instead of as people who truly care about the country. Their behavior was an open declaration that they put party partisanship ahead of the welfare of the nation. In front of the world, they looked bad.

Nancy Pelosi was there but only as a bystander this time, a guest, she had to sit there and be humiliated as Donald Trump was again President in spite of all her efforts to harm him, as he ripped her party’s past efforts to shreds instead of her ripping up his speech as she did, so infamously, in Congress in his first term. That was one of the most disrespectful displays ever conducted in the Congress of the United States, and the shame of it will be her lasting legacy.

At least this time there was no large bloc of Dem. party women all dressed in white to signify some cause no one really even remembers, probably because no one cared about it at the time except them. There were some women dressed in pink, or was it red, I forget already, but the reason was never clear.

At the end of the speech, the final impression the Left reminded me of, was something Spiro Agnew once said when he referred to a political group as “An effete corps of snobs”.

Trump may not have all the power he appears to have. I have some misgivings, but we’ll certainly know as the days march on. Pres. Trump can only do what he’s allowed to do, by those who run our world.

In the meantime, it would be nice to see a much more solemn decorum return to our halls of Congress. Public displays of silliness don’t belong there. We have a right to expect them all to act like adults.

One last thought: Remember when being anti-war was what the Liberal Left did? Instead of the Right?

Elon Musk worries about getting assassinated for cleaning up government corruption and he should, when you strip someone of a $billion a year or whatever, income, you piss off a person with the spending power to hire an army to kill you.

I can’t speculate on how much personal security he might have around him but I hope it’s massive. We can’t afford as a race of beings, I’m saying All Of Humanity here, to lose this guy. He’s taking us to the outer planets and eventually to the stars, he’s developed Neuralink that restores lost abilities and will one day connect us in ways that are almost unimaginable. He’s advanced AI to new heights and is still going. This man is a modern Thomas Alva Edison, who gave us electric lights, the telephone, ticker tape, the phonograph and a vast number of other inventions.

Pres. Trump is leading the way to a more unified world and Elon Musk is the one paving that path, clearing away the obstructing corruption and creating innovations that carry us forward.

Beyond that, he’s proven to be one of the most entertaining people on the planet. Who hasn’t honestly been thrilled to see his rocket ships take off and then land themselves? He’s always in the news, with his radical pickup trucks, his self-driving cars, new AI advances, his takeover and makeover of Twitter, and the things he keeps saying that confound, shock and amaze.

Trump and Musk, what a combination. Who’da thunk?

There’s lots of talk by pundits supposedly in the know, that Western Europe’s NATO nations are pushing for World War 3. Ukraine’s pres. Zalinsky wants NATO membership for Ukraine and has some backing on that, particularly from the UK, which is now reported to be preparing to send in troops against Russia.

This, after Zelensky was given the boot from the White House and Pres. Trump made it clear that Zelensky’s been playing the US for money and has no desire to see the war end. Now the word is that even the natural resources deal was either previously made with the UK or backdated to appear that it was.

Elon Musk recently responded “I agree” to a Twitter post saying the US should get out of NATO and the UN. While that’s not official White House policy, it has meaning and my take is that our government is starting to distance itself publicly from NATO and the UK. Not in reality, just in appearance, because we’re western Europe’s second biggest trade partner and closest, strongest military ally and that’s not suddenly going to change. It’s just that if they do take over the fight with Russia as we back away from it, the US is at the same time giving all indications it is preparing to develop a close relationship with Russia and needs to be uninvolved with NATO/UK’s engagement in Ukraine. It’s the old “Plausible Deniability” thing once again.

I think that those warning that NATO is going to plunge us into WW3 are doing so as fear propaganda, so we’ll approve of it when Trump refuses to join the rest of NATO in attacking the Russian troops. None of this would likely be happening if it weren’t true, that the US is going to embrace Russia and European NATO is going to take over the fight against Russia in Ukraine.

What this really looks like to me is the old squeeze play, W. Europe takes over the expense from us of fighting Russia up front while we hit them with Peace from the rear and force a regime change. Putin really does have to go, and this looks like how it’s going to be done.

The old saying that “All the world’s a stage” is still very true, these people are actors and what they show us isn’t real.
