I QUIT THE ADDICTIVE FACEBOOK

I have spent time on FB as an activist, trying to explain why donald j. trump is a danger to our country, megalomaniacal egomaniac in the exact place an egomaniac should NOT be. He has the attention span of a gnat and the temper of a mother cow alligator who’s hatchlings are being threatened, creeping along the swamp he’s trying to drain. And, only that cow (trump) can swim in that swamp. 

It was all to not avail. Only the choir was saved by my preaching. Republicans refuse to believe facts. They’ve been brainwashed not to accept anything unless trump says it. I’ve been hitting my head against the wall. 

I find it amazing that his followers believe the media lies when they simply use trump’s OWN TWEETS. 

Even in this morning’s paper, one Letter to the Editor said, “What I am hoping for in 2018 is that the American public begins to see how Democrat-biased 90 percent of the news media are, including the Star, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, The Associated Press, USA Today, Time and Newsweek magazines, etc. These broadcasts and publications are no longer just reporters of the news but are advocates of Democrat policies.

They are filled with journalists, many of them millennials, who have been indoctrinated in liberal ideology by their professors in college. It is unfair and unjust to the American people, the legislative process, and to the election process when the news media is so overwhelmingly biased, which has great sway over the minds of the not so informed public! I am sure that the Founding Fathers never meant for the First Amendment's freedom of the press to be an extension of and advocate for a political party.”

This is the mindset of the indoctrinated. Unaware that all the media has to do is reprint trump’s OWN TWEETS…nothing more. They are racist, sexist, egregious, inflammatory, hateful, biased, uninformed, uneducated, misstated, lies, obfuscating and every other single adjective you can use. No commentary need be given by the ‘so-called- biased, liberal media.’ trump does it all by himself. 

Yet these people DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. I have given up trying to figure out why. So should we.

We need to begin thinking of this ‘glitch’ in our history that historians will try to explain away 75 to 100 years from now, as we have tried to explain away the Slavery, Civil War, the Viet Nam War, Herbert Hoover, Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, Prohibition, Segregation, Joe McCarthy, 1929 and so much more. Texas Republicans, who dominate the input into school reading materials, have written many of these, and more, OUT OF SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS.

We were in a much better place before the assassination of John Kennedy. I believe, had he lived, we would STILL be in a safe place, albeit, with a few problems. 

I thank everyone who supported me and fought me. I’m afraid, in my anger, at times, I may have alienated friends and allies due to the lack of clarity in writing, allowing for a reason to misunderstand what I wrote. Many times, I had to re-read my post to see why friends were upset, only to find a comma or misused word that changed my original intent. I use a lot of commas to write as if I were speaking (something I was taught in school in the middle last century - BOY, that sounds old).

I also write long posts. I realize they should be on my post, and some have been. Much shorter versions have also been published in Letters-to-the-Editor. About 8 or 9 times per year. Forgive that as well. It’s just, I have so much to say. Thank you for reading those diatribes.

I thank you, over and over, for being my friends.

Now, I’ve kicked this addiction. Back to painting and writing. Support LIVE THEATRE. Any LIVE THEATRE. But, especially, local community and non-profit theatres. IT IS REAL. It will make you think. Keep your minds open. and remember, in the words of Jack Webb, “Just the facts.”

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...

Republican malevolence

The Temp President has created a mess. His vindictive Captain Queeg act and a Captain Ahab, McConnell, at the helm.  Now, a fugleman, Peter Lorre impersonator Lindsey Graham, has decided, amidst the clutter and chaos caused by the new Trump Party, to emulate his not-so-divine leader.  The new Senate Judiciary Chairman has decided during this period of Trump-inspired confusion and disorderliness, to dig up old, settled issues.  He’s decided to use the committee to begin investigations of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton; maybe Benghazi. Of course, this is nothing but another infant being placed in a position of being able to turn on the gas on the kitchen stove. Pampers diapers must be doing great business in D.C. Trump promised that following the elections, he would request these inquiries. Now, as the self-appointed Lord of Congress, he has his sycophants bidding his orders. Neither he nor McConnell nor Graham nor McCarthy nor 53 Senate Republicans ar...
