...for American liberals. Behind Boris' mandate victory lies a philosophy of belief in ourselves, beginning with the Founding Fathers (no girlies need apply), and extending to Ronaldo Magnus, and now our MAGA Brilliant President Trump. Anathema to the racist political pandering pols of all but the most justified and temporary welfare/dole handouts, it's a core life philosophy for folks who are really honest about such beliefs. Indeed, voters in the English former industrial north, now increasingly with cities resembling our own democrat ruled failed metropolises, were a big force in this election of a conservative---they had voted left for generations up until now. Oye como va, o mis campesinos. Rising crime, government over-regulation, PC, vanishing middle and lower class jobs, food pantries, homeless shelters, runaway inflation, decreasing adjusted incomes, porous borders making it all worse,-----anyone seen any of the same here, at least until the last 3 years? So now this British conservative mandate is also a mandate for a quick Brexit, finally honoring the will of the voters there. If you wonder why the distaste for capricious rule by unelected ueber lib bureaucrats in Brussels, and what the liberals here have always planned for the USA, try to spend a few leisurely afternoons sauntering about in Chicago, or LA. Just be sure to be carrying a pair of Glock nines, and extra clips.

I have written on nine Christmas cards the words, “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”. The cards will be distributed to their designated recipients in due course. But what will those recipients make of the words I have written with hardly a thought to their meaning?

Will they see them as an instruction? Will they think I am ordering them to have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year? If so, I wonder to what extend they will feel obliged to do as they are told.

Perhaps they will interpret the words merely as a wish on my part for them to have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. In which case I wonder if they will feel a sense of anxiety that they might let me down by not having a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

Maybe they will open the cards and read the words as thoughtlessly as I wrote them. I hope that is what they will do; I would hate to send my loved ones into a state of turmoil over a few meaningless words.

I did listen to the Judiciary Committee's 2nd impeachment hearing, and all that nonsense. It was an tiresome ordeal.
A waste of time - which is exactly the intention of many.

Obscurantism is the gospel of the Deplorables, and they seem like winning. Another victory for the puppet master Putin
and his friends. The Republic party, the useful idiots, seem to believe they are smart, while they march to the piper's flute.

In fact, it is possible to understand the admiration people have for Trump. He is obviously a genius. The art of the deal, is
to have everybody dumbed down and confused enough to accept his ploy.


Putin couldn't wish for a better agent. Technology centers around the world, full of scientific experts in propaganda, computer science, AI, psychology, internet, etc. They have hacked into all communication highways, and have interfered in political processes all over the world. They are experts and they have really succeeded in recruiting the Republican party and the Trump voters.
They and everyone else can study the results in real-time over the internet. It is like playing a computer game.

United States has become a worthless partner for most. You cannot trust their word. So, what become of the security assurance they signed regarding Ukraine in the Budapest Memorandum ?

It is very telling how nobody even mention it anymore. Instead people are lead to believe that Trump is just concerned and looking after how American taxpayer dollars, and how it is unfair that Europe doesn't do more, etc.

Trump and the GOP is treason of everything United States have stood for. After a deal with Erdogan and their meeting in the White House, he withdraw troops from Syria.

United States abandoned it's obligations to Ukraine. Now Putin wants to pressure for changes in the constitution of Ukraine. At the same time, Trump and Russia's Lavrov will meet at the White House.

People need to wake up !

It is really treason, high crimes and misdemeanors - Why are everyone so blind and stupid ?
He is wrecking and breaking up everything. It is just unbelievable. Unbelievable.

"'Basket Of Deplorables'...
is a phrase from a 2016 presidential election campaign speech delivered by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on September 9, 2016, at a campaign fundraising event, which she used to describe half of the supporters of her opponent, Republican nominee Donald J. Trump. The next day she expressed regret for 'saying half', while insisting that Trump had deplorably amplified 'hateful views and voices'.

"The Trump campaign repeatedly used the phrase against Clinton during and after the 2016 presidential election. Many Trump supporters adopted the 'Deplorable' moniker for themselves in reappropriation. Some journalists and political analysts questioned whether this incident played a role in the election's outcome. Clinton admitted in her 2017 book What Happened that it was one of the factors for her loss."

As noted in the definition, Deplorables have embraced the name much as American Colonists embraced the derisive term Yankee Doodle, by which they were referred to by the British.

So.
Who ARE the Deplorables? I very recently came across a vid in which Deplorables define themselves and their movement, which I've dubbed Deplorablism*.

Here, then, is what might be called The Deplorable Manifesto ...

The Manifesto is not limited to U.S. Deplorables. It traces the history of the movement to Britain & the Brexit movement - well before Clinton's use of the defining term.

Leftist film maker Michael Moore (NO Trump supporter) defined Deplorables similarly in his documentary Michael Moore In TrumpLand, released prior to the '16 Election ...

Since Brexit & the U.S. '16 Election, "Deplorables" has been loosely adopted by individuals, groups & movements in various parts of the world.

The movement has its anthem ...

... including a French version ...

... in which, BTW, the soloist totally kills it.

The anthem might be analogous to that of International Communism - "The Internationale" ("L'Internationale") ...

Should Deplorablism bring about significant changes in the world, Clinton's disdainful "Basket Of Deplorables" remark may be regarded in history as infamously as Marie Antoinette's advice, "Let Them Eat Cake".

*Deplorablism - I recently used the term in a blog comment post. I later became curious if it was an actual word & searched it
NOTHING came. Zip. Zilch. Nada!
T'would appear I've coined a new word.

Black Friday was somewhat uneventful. Pressure cleaned the fascia and walls and as expected lots of loose paint was removed. Plans for Saturday are to fill and prime all the bad spots. I've got to repair some fascia with a penetrating sealer that bonds spongy rotten wood by soaking into into the fibers. The instructions say it's 4 to 6 consecutive coats of sealer, it's faster and cheaper than replacing the fascia that was done about 4 years ago.

Wal-Mart didn't appear to be busier than normal, however I counted about 15 TV's in the parking lot that were headed to cars. Inside, there were stacks of off-brand 4K TVs in the 55 to 65 inch range. Obviously 4K is the hot item this season!

The Month Before Xmas

'Twas a month before Xmas, Thanksgiving itself,
when Black Friday started ahead of itself.
Despite a recession and ominous rumors,
the debtors reverted to frenzied consumers,
stampeding each other like hogs in the wallers,
as if in a contest to throw away dollars.

Then back for the next day, and on into Sunday,
with something left over to spend Cyber Monday,
and ad infinitum, while making believe
some Santa will pay for it all Xmas Eve!

Their greed how it sparkles, their gifting how merry.
Such fun to appear a benevolent fairy.
But reckoning comes when the creditors call,
then dash away, cash away, stash away all!
For those who hold out until yard-selling times,
I'll be there to help turn their dollars to dimes.

...here in the Great Satan, they don't call it flyover country for nothing. The differences between mean incomes/wealth betwen folks on the coasts, and the vast middle of the country, are vast, along with political tendencies/sentiments. So now we learn that apartheid Israel has the same deal. The wealthy liberals live on the polluted Med,, mostly wanting corrupt, former tewowist Netanahu's hide, while the much poorer folks, "push the Palestinians into the sea", curly side burns, "never saw Palestinian land we don't want to occupy", types, support him. But perhaps this doesn't apply to all countries on the oceans. And what about large lakes? Finally, just what's wrong with someone writing such Blogs, Eh? Another Syndrome?

...the term is often heard from Negro racists in the USA. The thinking goes as follows. Only whites can possibly be racists, and such people, mostly Democrats of the old south, several centuries ago, were soley responsible for the American curse of slavery. SO, the logic goes, Negroes currently living in the USA deserve monetary reparations. Of course, no one alive today, White or Black, was around during those terrible years, when Blacks contributed so much to the Old South's agrarian cotton/tobacco economies,---actually only a tiny part of the overall USA economy. Nor can anyone possibly account for the current USA negro population distributions, which include various blendings from many non slavery areas at the time, and since. And what amounts of money, and should the many very wealthy Negro Americans in sports, business, media, and other affirmative action sinecures, be somehow means tested for reparations cash? POTUS Obama as well? And how about the vital cooperation of ruthless Black West African Tribal Chiefs in helping the evil White man to capture, place into bondage, and cram the proto slaves into the holds of Slave ships? Too, the American Civil war, costing some 600 large war deaths, and led/funded by a Republican POTUS and Republican US Congress, which many alt leftie Democrats today, including racist Blacks, insist was fought only for states' rights. AS IF, Lincoln's Gettysburg address focused on anything but the scourge of slavery. But, I digress. Reparations might then consider other maltreated ethnic populations. Canadian (ooouuut, Eh?) First People's, Kiwi Maoris, Aboriginals in OZ, Turkish Armenians, South American Cholitos, the Irish in pax Britania, and many more. Yep, peebles, reparations, clear and simple fixes for the injustice du jour, even if the du jours were centuries ago. Achtung,Achtung--- TD-HD syndrome attacks imminent. Incoming, incoming!

This is a copy of a letter which I recently sent to a prisoner.

Hello. I like your answer. At least you replied. Thank you. I hope that between the two of us there will be many more messages and that we will become great friends. I am just very concerned about people who are in jail. Please allow me to make my own interpretation about the phenomenon which is the wall murals of ancient Egypt showing everyone and every thing in profile. You are in jail. The most significant thing about that is that while you are there you will not be killed in a car accident or fall off of a cliff. If I go to see my doctor tomorrow I will be contributing to medical science which has the potential to benefit others. Is this true or false? There is no progress without patients. As I get older I may be seeing a doctor more often. I may undergo procedures and treatments and be prescribed medications. All of that has the potential to benefit other people because I will be contributing to medical science. If I die at a younger age I will have contributed less to medical science. By controlling people they are more likely to contribute more to medical science. You are being controlled. Maybe you should be in jail. Maybe you do need to be corrected. Many things are possible. It is also possible that there is no good reason to be keeping you confined in a prison. Maybe you are not a bad person. Maybe other people are the bad ones. I have not really looked at your arrest record or any of that. I don’t know why you are in jail. I don’t need to know. However let's imagine that you are in jail for selling drugs for example. Many people are. In that case would that mean that you are a bad person? If someone is enjoying drugs they might be so busy enjoying their life that they forget to go for an annual check-up at the doctors office. Therefore they would be contributing less to medical science. The argument to counter this is that people are not enjoying themselves. That is true however it is also true that there is nothing good to enjoy because of the laws and law enforcement which makes it very difficult to buy something to enjoy which is desirable. Therefore the idea that people are miserable because they are consuming drugs is a an argument which is ridiculous. Just because the only thing available to people is terrible does not mean that there is nothing to enjoy. Most likely your life and definitely the life of many, many other people is miserable because of the people in charge who want you to be a slave. I am asking you for my sake and for the sake of millions of other people to be very careful when you consider your own motivation in regard to the things that you support. Even a person in jail can have slaves. Oh yes the wall murals of ancient Egypt. I think that it would be better to discuss that later. My ambition is to get everyone out of jail, to change the laws and to start over.

Yesterday was Veterans Day and like every year, there was a parade in New York City.
This year was different as the protesters of the president came out in force carrying signs 'Impeach Trump' and shouting "Lock him Up!"
I see one of the larger signs read: Commander Bone Spurs and at the bottom RISE and RESIST. It must have been an anti-support group as they were all wearing shirts with the same name.
