We're off for our annual pilgrimage to Block Island (no innterTubes for me). Alas, can't march for No Kings Day. But I just saw that Benioff has apologized for saying that Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don should send troops to San Francisco. According to reporting, he was once a traitor to his class in supporting, in general, Democrats.
What the whole fiasco makes crystal clear: the Billionaire Class demands that their cities of residence (well... often in suburban palaces) be as well kept and quiet as those 'Private Islands' owned by those various cruise ship companies. A more untethered to reality bunch of folks can't possibly be. If it weren't for cities, and the energy they have, we'd still be plowing fields with mules and, mostly, dying by 50. Party like it's 1829!!! Yeoman farmers unite!!! And have a bunch of Darkies do the heavy work.
Essays on topics economics: monopolists, oligopolists, and oligarchs aren't better decision-makers for the society just because they's rich and they ain't the damn gummint.
If the MAGAnauts push the woke Blue states into their United States of Alabama, who will make the neat stuff?
Hey Vlad. You take Europe, I'll take the Americas. Deal?
Vlad, Almost Done Firing Russia Hands. Whoopee

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
-- J.B. Pritzker, Ill. Gov./2025 [yes, what indeed?? today political opposition, soon The Utterly Unhinged© says insurrection]
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]
Effective with the 2026 mid-term elections, military proctors will be stationed at every shithole Blue city polling place, demanding to see a current, valid United States of Alabama passport. No passport, no vote. I am the dictator.
-- Donald J. Trump by Executive Order, this day 7 December 2025 [Paranoia is a main driver.]
He was awarded a Bronze Star and a Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), having served in civil-affairs operations and as an adviser in Afghanistan. But let's be clear: Hegseth was not a front-line leader of combat troops under sustained fire. He did not command an infantry company in protracted combat or lead exhausted soldiers through night patrols and firefights.

As mass production has to be accompanied by mass consumption; mass consumption, in turn, implies a distribution of wealth -- not of existing wealth, but of wealth as it is currently produced -- to provide men with buying power equal to the amount of goods and services offered by the nation's economic machinery. Smart people vote with their feet.

This Week's thought
[Santos] lied like hell. And I didn't know him, but he was 100 percent for Trump. -- Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don/2025 [lie with dogs, get fleas]
