the most contagious and dangerous virus: America's golden idol

 

The other day, twice Trump voter and defender Sancho Panza told me in an email that I would not hear further from him, he was leaving social media to pursue other interests. I wondered how long that would last? He sent this yesterday:


A true lover of wisdom has hands too busy to hold on to anything! He learns by doing and every pebble in the path becomes her teacher!  Oink

Me to Sancho:

Thought you were taking a break? I didn't watch this guy's podcast. Since when weren't Democrat presidents war hawks? Clinton? We must never forget Johnson, Truman, Roosevelt. 

Today's rant.
Sancho:

Remember that most of the 911 terrorists were Saudi Nationals! I like that Black guy's youtube channel, too bad that you are such a wuz... he likes to analyze "The News" in a way that is not the same as others with a one track mind! The bombing ordered by Biden was funny to me, given the fact that you bragged he was different from Trump and would be more conducive to peace! Emoji

I basically had stopped watching any news or responding to political emails from friends! It's not easy to live a real life with this stupid pandemic restrictions in my State... wish I lived in Hollywood, Fl.... take a look!

Me:

I've seen a number of this podcaster's presentations, all pro-right, perhaps he sometimes is pro-left? I hoped Biden would be more peaceful in America and hoped he would get America out of overseas wars against people who ain't nearly as threatening to Americans at home as Trump and his legions, and the radical left in America. Saw talk in news today of building a great wall around the Capitol. Some of your political correspondents seemed to me to be unable to think like their brains originally were designed. They have a great deal of company on the right and on the left. 

New York has made a nice mess of the gift from Red China. Perhaps a giant earthquake will separate California from the American continent, and California will float to Red China via ocean currents and tsunamis. Alabama is relatively sane for some time about the gift from Red China, but lots of people here still are out of work, or working virtually, and spending lots of time at home. Bars and restaurants limping by, or closed. 

After 911, America's borders were closed, nobody could leave, but the Saudi royal family members who were here, they got to hasta la vista pronto. I remain convinced that was not entirely a foreign attack, Americans were involved, but I can no more prove it, than anyone can disprove it. If I put that on Facebook, will I get put into Facebook jail, again? 

A friend told me today that this very same lovely Saudi crown prince Biden so far declined to sanction, like ban him from America for life and the hereafter, with President Trump's okay and influence a few years ago, got a closed Las Vegas casino opened for a big party of some kind. I've read a few times online of Saudis twice bailing Trump out of financial vices around his golf balls.

Sancho:

Who really knows what's coming.... nobody predicted last year at this time what would come shortly after! But your habit of blaming Trump for everything cannot be applied to Biden... I think he's totally clueless at this point and it seems that he will not last long before Kamala takes over, what a debacle... and you thought Trump was an ass, hold on to Rocinante, SeƱor Q!  

Me:

I know Trump is an ass. I knew Hillary was an ass. Perhaps Biden will turn out to be just as big an ass. 

I doubt aliens will invade Earth, perhaps too dangerous: the human virus might prove fatal to ETs.

But then, maybe the ETs decided there is a far more contagious and far more deadly virus on Earth. The Trump virus, which you clearly contracted by voting twice for him and boasting about it, by defending him as if your soul depended on it, and by attacking everything but him, like I see other Trumpers do every day on Facebook. The monster in their living room makes Joe Biden look like Mickey Mouse.  
 
I see Biden a lot on TV now. I don't see a raving, self-worshipping, aspiring despot, who claims to be God-sent. I don't see someone I would like to see swallow molten gold and become his own golden idol, frozen forever in time and space. You don't like living in NY? Move to West Palm Beach, where you can be near your golden idol. And by all means, ignore your declaration to stay off social media. Keep sending me proof you have lost your soul. It makes my heart wince, but there are no fig leaves in God's Kingdom, nor any secrets.

Heil, Joe! Heil, Donald! May you both be abducted and sawed up.

Thus the sword defends the pen

Hallelujah Jesus!!! Donald Trump's favorite liberal commie news channel raked President Joe Biden over the coals for saving the ass of the same Saudi crown prince Trump saved, despite U.S. intelligence the crown prince ordered the abduction and sawing up of a Saudi journalist who criticized the crown prince. 

Heil, Joe! Heil, Donald! May you both be abducted and sawed up.

CNN's Jake Tapper compared President Joe Biden to former President Donald Trump on Friday following the administration's decision not to sanction Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.  
A U.S. intelligence report published on Friday concluded that bin Salman, commonly known as MBS in the west, approved of the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
The Biden administration announced sanctions and visa bans aimed at citizens of Saudi Arabia but declined to target MBS specifically. Speaking to Senator Time Kaine (D-VA), Tapper harshly criticized the move.
"Nothing — nothing — for MBS. MBS is getting away scot-free. What do you make of that?" Tapper asked.
Kaine, who was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2016, sought to defend the decision but Tapper pressed on with criticism.
"When it comes to accountability for the guy that was in charge, who ordered the brutal assassination, murder, of your constituent, a Washington Post columnist, for the crime of writing a column that said there should be more freedom and democracy in Saudi Arabia, MBS is getting away scot-free," Tapper said.
"How is that any different from Donald Trump? Joe Biden and Donald Trump have the same position — save MBS' ass!"
Kaine said "the positions are not the same" and pointed to Biden's different approach to Saudi Arabia.

(CNN)Despite promising to punish senior Saudi leaders while on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden declined to apply sanctions to the one the US intelligence community determined is responsible for the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The choice not to punish Prince Mohammed directly puts into sharp relief the type of decision-making that becomes more complicated for a president versus a candidate, and demonstrates the difficulty in breaking with a troublesome ally in a volatile region.
On Friday, Biden's administration released an unclassified intelligence report on Khashoggi's death, an action his predecessor refused to take as he downplayed US intelligence. The report from the director of national intelligence says the crown prince, known as MBS, directly approved the killing of Khashoggi. But while Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced visa restrictions that affected 76 Saudis involved in harassing activists and journalists, he didn't announce measures that touch the prince. And while a sanctions list from the Treasury Department named a former deputy intelligence chief and the Saudi Royal Guard's rapid intervention force, the crown prince wasn't mentioned.
US intelligence report finds Saudi Crown Prince responsible for approving operation that killed Khashoggi
Two administration officials said sanctioning MBS was never really an option, operating under the belief it would have been "too complicated" and could have jeopardized US military interests in Saudi Arabia. As a result, the administration did not even request the State Department to work up options for how to target MBS with sanctions, one State Department official said.

When asked in an interview with Univision about how much he's willing to push the crown prince to observe human rights, Biden said he was now dealing with the Saudi King and not bin Salman. He said "the rules are changing" and that significant changes could come on Monday.
"We are going to hold them accountable for human rights abuses and we're going to make sure that they, in fact, you know, if they want to deal with us, they have to deal with it in a way that the human rights abuses are dealt with," Biden said, without being more specific about any plans to punish the crown prince.

Trump castrated Republican Party

A Republican responded to Donald Trump part of yesterday's America's official religion: doublespeak post: 

Derick
Idk where the thought that Republicans just follow Trump blindly and agree 100% with every little statement he makes started. Sounds to me like its just a Democrat talking point. But I know hundreds maybe thousands of Republicans and that is not true whatsoever. Its honestly kind of insulting to say that they can't make up there own minds. We don't agree with Trump on everything. But most Republicans, with the exception of the older some of the older pushover ones follow him and stand behind him pretty heavily. We understand that his character is flawed and we don't try to argue otherwise. But for once we actually had a president that put America first, instead of one like we have now that is all about America last. I'll follow a flawed character till the end if he will put America first.

Sloan Bashinsky
What did Trump put first leading into, during and since the Capitol riot? When Obama was president, I leaned on him. I viewed Hillary as awful as Trump, who seems to have castrated the Republican Party. The jury’s still out on Biden. I voted for him very reluctantly, because he and his backers did not cause me to fear for the safety of my children and their families, and Biden at least talks of saving the planet from humanity, and he is not a white supremacist or a religious fanatic. Except for this year, I voted for or wrote in third party candidates for president.

Derick
Idk how Biden doesn't scare you. He's way too old. He can barely put sentences together sometimes. His fellow democrats are trying to take the nuclear codes away from his power because they don't even think he's competent. His son own a 10% stake in a billion+ dollar Chinese energy company that he refuses to give up. Hes trying to pass another pointless stimulus that your kids and grandkids will have to pay back someday. He just pardoned 2700+ blm protestors and doesn't ask antifa to stop. Which might not effect your family but it definitely effects many on the west coast putting them in danger. Cost tens of thousands of jobs already in his first four weeks. Just cut trumps apprenticeship program which gave a huge boost to help the inner cities get skilled in trades. He is all about the illegal immigrants coming in and staying in, which facts prove that some harmful people come in and innocent Americans will get murdered by them, its a small percentage but it definitely happens.

Sloan Bashinsky
All of that worries me about Biden, but Trump and his fanatics are domestic terrorists, they are unhinged, they believe whatever he tells them, and the Republican Party harbors them, instead of leaving them.

Derick
Wait, so what happened at the capital is domestic terrorism. But anitfa burning down federal courthouses, police stations, countless business, killing dozens of cops in cold blood isn't? Thats the part that im the most confused about.

Sloan Bashinsky
Antifa terrorism deserves life at Guantanamo, too, but anrfia was not taking cues from Trump while he was president and since. Republicans need to clean up their house, instead of ever pointing finger at Democrats. I tell Democrats to clean up their house. Like talking to stones, both sides.
Saw online report this afternoon, and on CNN tonight, Mitch McConnell, who condemned Trump for Capitol riots, says he will support Trump in 2024, if he is the Republican nominee. Doublespeak is very much in control, in America.

Derick
I think the biggest two reasons Trump still gets love and people wont turn there back on him is. One his foreign policy, he gets an a+ in that category. He made the countries we protect pay for it for once, he took China head on, ended isis, made North Korea calm down, shut Russia up, and let America get a fair shake in trades after we have been being screwed for decades. And 2, socialism is a terrible idea. It has almost always lead to communism. More government is never the answer. Even the European countries like Finland that dabbled in it are starting to turn away from it because it was bankrupting them. And the dems in America are power hungry, look at how bad they want to keep us locked down forever. Everything they try to do is all about them gaining more power. They have become the party of bigotry, all the tech, media in every form, big medical are all 100% on there side and very outspoken about it. And Trump was the answer to put an end to socialism once and for all.
Like when i look at this world all together. The biggest problems i see are the communist countries. If we can get them to change there ways this world would finally be peaceful and we might see a time were there are no more wars. To me thats the biggest concern so I'll always vote for the guy that has the best chance of changing that. And to me its hard to vote Democrat because they seem to cater to those countries. Honestly at times they seem like they want to go all Marxist and send us into a communist country ourselves.

Sloan Bashinsky
Heh, it was Russia hackers that got Trump elected, after he asked for Russian help getting Hillary's emails. Russia liked Trump heaps better than it liked Obama, Biden, Hillary and Kerry. Red China, yes, that's a serious threat --- to the entire world. Its gift from Wuhan turned the world upside down. Trump had the cure in his paws and didn't get it to all Americans, to the entire world, crushing Red China's attack. Biden dissed the cure. Looks to me American's most dangerous enemies are Americans šŸ˜€.

Derick
I never heard that Trump had the vaccine the whole time. I'll have to look into that. But im pretty sure until things go through the right testing process before they can be put out for the public. But why do u think the Russians liked Trump? Doesn't make sense to me. Trump was harder on them then any president in my lifetime. Hard to think how they would want him in. He put tariffs on the heavy, made America energy independent, which just crushed Russia's wealth. And Trump crushed Russian friends with tariffs that hurt Russia as well. Remember u used to hear about Russia all the time being a super power? Now that we had 4 years of Trump they are silenced. I agree about China being the worst threat though. U have to wonder why they put the virus out in the first place. Seems to me they thought it would be the only way to get Trump out of office. But if that's true, the dems would of had to been in on it as well. I mean now that u see Cuomo probably going to resign because he sent so many old people to their death. And the only other governors that did that as well were also democratic. Seems to me they were all in on it. Pretty pathetic

Sloan Bashinsky
Not a vaccine, a cheap fast early stage infection cure he had in his paw. Dr. Zelenko's protocol. Facebook banned any discussion of it. The Dems, mainstream media and medical industrial complex launched witch hunts against it. Trump caved, went for vaccine. Facebook doesn't allow discussion about what China really did. 
Russia is pretty sneaky, maybe won't be long before weapons that rely on electronics, and banks, securities exchanges, etc. can be disabled with EMP devices. Imagine an American aircraft carrier dead in the water. Imagine all aircraft carriers, warships, dead in the water. Imagine missile guidance systems crashing. Who the hell knows what this world will look like in 30 years? I won't be here to see it.

America's official religion: doublespeak

Alabama friend Jack (Michael J.) posted on Facebook:
Jesus rode a donkey
Joel Osteen rides a Ferrari 458 Italia - $325,000.00
Some people took Jack to task. I included one of them, and my response to him and Jack, in yesterday's Do Tiger Woods and humanity need more estrogen? post at this blog. Later, Jack responded to me:

Jack:
It was not my intention to open such an inflammatory discussion; there may be no truth to Joel’s abuse of his flocks trust to guide them through the gates of heaven in his Ferrari.
Simply an observation.
Hope you’re well.

Me:
If you post something like that on Facebook, you intend to create a responsive discussion. I know nothing of Osteen. What you posted was about his Ferrari, and I responded to that and to Billy's response to you. Looked like a button or two in Billy were punched by your post. Had you mentioned allegations of Osteen abusing his flock, instead he has a Ferrari, I might not have commented. History is replete with ministers here and there abusing their flocks, and with ministers getting very rich via their flocks' donations, selling books, TV appearances, etc. Look no farther than the recent US President. 
Clearly, Trump has established a new mega church in America, and he is its pope. Whatever Trump decrees, his huge flocks accept as Gospel. Huge white flocks, with a few token non-whites. He has made the Republican Party, the White Supremacist Party, Republican arguments to the contrary notwithstanding. The proof is simple: photos of Trump rallies, seas of white people. Res ipsa loquitur, the white seas speak for themselves.
Trump has made Orwell's 1984 doublespeak a fact. Whatever Trump says is true, is true in his church. Whatever Trump says is false, is false in his church. Joel Osteen is a distraction. Trump says he won by a landslide in 2020, the election was stolen, so that's what happened, if you belong to his church. Trump says the Democrats are communists, that's true, if you belong to his church. Trump says the rioters at the Capitol were antifa, even though he finally told them that he loved them and they should go home in peace.
I saw on CNN yesterday, that Tiger woods says he has no recollection of his car crash. I read that elsewhere online this morning. And that when officers arrived at Tiger's car, he was calm and able to tell them his name and date of birth. Does he now remember telling him his name and date of birth? Does Tiger really have amnesia, or is he using doublespeak? He has a huge following in the golf world, and beyond. Do his fans believe he doesn't remember the crash? Yet, he is a distraction. Trump is not a distraction. He is the Republican Party's prayer meeting with Jesus. Will they turn over the tables in Trump's church,? Is that rhetorical?

Key West amiga Peggy, retired nurse now living in West Palm Beach, where she can afford an apartment, replied on Facebook to yesterday's:

Peggy
Sloan, he was recovering from his latest back surgery and everyone, even the sheriff, said that was one of the most dangerous roads and they didn't say he was speeding, only that there were no tire marks where he tried to brake. He probably just missed a curve or miscalculated a curve.

Sloan Bashinsky
Peggy, the condition of what's left of the Genesis SUV, how far it traveled, hit median, crossed road, hit a tree or two, flipped, and law enforcement's comments of high rate of speed, based on all of that, have some say in it. As does Tiger saying he doesn't remember the crash, but he gave the first officer to him his name and date of birth.

Peggy
I know they said he was lucid when they found him and trying to get out of it. I don't know, but as quickly as they were to say he was inebriated when he had his last crash, don't you think they would have said that if he had been. I heard only the very first comment from law enforcement but they didn't mention the rate of speed at all in that one. I must have missed a second one where they talked about it.

Sloan Bashinsky
Perhaps he simply was driving fast? You cannot conceive that, after all the other stuff you know he did in the past, which shocked a lot of people? Do you prefer wonderland, to such reality as living nearly next door to Donald Trump, who played golf with Tiger and they seemed really chummy? Do you think only Trump and his legions spin facts, use double speak?
As for the rate of speed:
Excerpts:
Law enforcement sources speaking to The Times on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter said Woods was traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control of the vehicle before crossing the center divider. Woods’ SUV rolled multiple times before coming to a halt.

Peggy
Why being snarky with me? This is the first I've heard it. So, now I know.

Sloan Bashinsky
Not being snarky, just candid. I really like Tiger, said so in my blog post yesterday. Perhaps he has amnesia. But the condition of the Genesis SUV, and no other vehicle was involved, says he was traveling at a high rate of speed.
