Military Service: World War One and World War Two

Motto: “FOOORE!” (Remember,  the traditional cry as you’re teeing off in golf? Oh, never mind!)

Nickname: Uncle Milty

Pro: Knew enough to distrust Richard Nixon long before it became the national pastime.

Military Service: World War Two

Motto: “Thank God for television!”

biden crime family shirtJOE BIDEN’S TEXAS POLITICAL DIRECTOR NAMED IN ILLEGAL BALLOT HARVESTING SCAM AND MAIL-IN BALLOT FRAUD. More HERE and HERE. Yet another omen for how badly the Democrats were cheating in the 2020 election. At this point here in 2024 the only people who think that was a fair election are people who think some males menstruate and that men can naturally get pregnant.

DEMOCRAT GRIP ON SOCIAL MEDIA BEING USED TO CENSOR NEWS ABOUT THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY SCANDALS EXPOSED BY HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP. Even more HERE.

crow chairmanCROW INDIAN TRIBE PLUS CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS ENDORSE DONALD TRUMP OVER BIDEN. While Joe Biden was hiding in his bunker to prevent any more public incidents revealing how unfit for office he was, Trump was reeling in endorsement after endorsement.

        Excerpt from Crow Chairman Alvin Not Afraid Jr: “the “Trump administration has helped the Crow Tribe in amending the Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance” to let the tribe assign and grant permits on THEIR OWN mineral rights, unlike previous presidential administrations.”   

        maurice davisExcerpt from Democrat Maurice Davis: “Let me tell you something, the Democrats are full of hate. I have been a democrat all my life, 64 years. The last four years I voted for Hillary Clinton. This year I decided to go with President Trump. I am not a bootlicker, I am not an Uncle Tom.” (He had to add that because Democrats are such disgusting racists they always hurl abuse at voters of color who think for themselves.)

        william owens picExcerpt from Civil Rights Leader William Owens: “President Trump did something that few other politicians do,” Owens said. “He sought out the opinion of a variety of African American leaders and he listened to what we had to say … This is a president who believes in giving a hand-up, not a hand-out in order to help our community thrive.”

(THEN) DEMOCRAT TULSI GABBARD COURAGEOUSLY POINTED OUT HOW DEMOCRATS COULD USE VOTE BY MAIL AS CHEAT BY MAIL FOR VOTE FRAUD PURPOSES. She tried introducing a bill to stop the vote by mail scams but her fellow Democrats blocked her.

bernadineDEMOCRAT BERNADINE KENNEDY KENT ENDORSED TRUMP. Some excerpts: “Kent said in her endorsement that her “values truly align with President Donald J. Trump’s willingness to work with those of differing opinions and perspectives more so than with Joe Biden’s divisive rhetoric, promotion of mass incarceration, and disrespectful, insensitive ideologies.” 

Trump never called racist til running against Democrats“A large part of this success is due to President Trump’s willingness to listen to the ideas of Senator Tim Scott and the concerns of invested citizens from diverse communities in economic distress. This effort produced a groundbreaking solution called ‘Opportunity Zones,’ a way to create jobs and spur investment in disadvantaged communities. We all recognize that gainful employment and economic development is the best deterrent against violence and social unrest, so I want to thank President Trump for his commitment to ensuring the success of the Black community in every way.”

        Kennedy-Kent also praised President Trump’s history-making support for HBCUs.  Continue reading

JOE BIDEN: AS UNFIT AND ILLEGIT AS EVER

is this the flatHere’s the latest from Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog here in a nation that’s had a corrupt, senile career criminal named Joe Biden in the White House. With Joe Biden pronounced mentally unfit to stand trial for one of his crimes, speculation is on that this will be used to put Biden beyond the law on all of the enormous number of other crimes he and the Biden Crime Family are responsible for. More HERE.

But bear in mind, no legal process was carried out. The Special Prosecutor, themselves part of the murky cesspool called America’s political system, simply declared that Biden seems to have committed the crime in the classified documents case, but – just like with Hillary Clinton years ago – the decision to NOT pursue the case was made unilaterally. 

unfit joe bidenMeanwhile, the Republicans are quite rightly pointing out that if Joe’s condition is that bad, then Biden should step down or be removed and replaced under the 25th Amendment regarding presidential unfitness. They say that Biden should not have it both ways, as in be declared beyond the reach of the law because of how demented he is, but still be left in the office of the presidency.

breaking bidenWill the Republicans in office stick by this, or will they do what they always do and back down after pretending that they will actually do something? I don’t know. Plus, if Joe steps down, whoever the Democrats have replace him, whether it’s Michelle Obama or someone else, that may well mean the Democrats will win the presidential election in November.

The Democrats remain far out in front of the clueless Republican Party establishment in the media arms race and would likely succeed at getting voters to think that they are trying ” a fresh start” by voting for whoever has a (D) after their name, even though any Democrat will follow the same destructive policies that Biden followed.

democrats oppressing people whileDEMOCRATS AND CORPORATE FASCISM – Some excerpts: “Let’s start with the basics – long ago corporate fascists and other bloated rich pigs tended to gravitate toward the Republicans. However, the clueless Republican leadership understands nothing but money, while the Democrats understand power and its use.”

          “Money follows power, so corporate fascists therefore naturally gravitated more and more to the Democrats, who not only get the corporate fascists what they want but manage to make them look civic-minded in the process. Conversely, if rich pigs don’t play ball with the Democrat fascists the Democrats use their media outlets to smear those rich pigs to the point of ruin.”

          “(T)he Democrats’ reasoning goes, “if we can work hand-in-hand with corporate fascists to ensure you won’t even be allowed to make a living if you express disagreement with us, then we think you’ll realize it’s in your own best interest to stop resisting and pretend you go along with even our most ridiculous positions.”  For the full article CLICK HERE.

          “Today, we don’t recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES JOYCE (2024 EDITION)

jamesjoyceHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAMES JOYCE! His works got me hooked in my teens when I really related to his character Stephen Dedalus as he rejected his religion and indulged what I call his “young and pretentious side” in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). I wore out my copy of Joyce’s novel Ulysses (1922) and continue to mark Bloom’s Day to this very day.

Over the years Finnegans Wake (1939) replaced Ulysses as my favorite Joyce novel and I’m fonder than many people are of his play Exiles (1918). Continue reading
