Another Thing I Nailed!

The headline of a Washington Post article reads: “Missouri lawmaker seeks to prohibit residents from obtaining abortions out of state.” The article goes on to say, “The measure could signal a new strategy by the antiabortion movement to extend its influence beyond the GOP-led states poised to enact tighter restrictions if the Supreme Court weakens its landmark precedent upholding abortion rights. … Now, a prominent antiabortion lawmaker in Missouri, from where thousands of residents have traveled to next-door Illinois to receive abortions since Missouri passed one of the country’s strictest abortion laws in 2019, believes she has found a solution.” More from Newsweek, “A Missouri state lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow private citizens to be sued for aiding women who get out-of-state abortions. If it makes its way through the legislative process, the measure, which is currently awaiting debate in the House, could allow any private citizen in Missouri to sue someone who assisted a fellow Missourian in obtaining an abortion in another state. … Coleman’s measure is reportedly piggybacking off of a recent antiabortion law in Texas that prohibits most abortions in that state after the six-week mark of pregnancy. In addition to opening the door for lawsuits for aiding with out-of-state abortions, the Missouri bill would also make it illegal to manufacture or distribute abortion pills in the state.”

And allow myself to quote myself from a post dated May 2021, “Once SCOTUS effectively kills Roe next year, the next goal will be to criminalize women’s movement in states where abortion is illegal to other states to undergo the procedure legally. Mark my words, f***tards. You can take this next step to the bank.” So! I nailed it! I nailed it! I nailed it! You heard it here first — a year ago! Except, I will admit that Missouri is not waiting on SCOTUS; they are taking a page from Texas’ abortion bill, which SCOTUS has provided (not so) tacit approval. And I will grant that this proposal is not law — yet. But the notion is now out there for every other RepubliKKKlan legislature to witness. Look, morons of America. My calling for this next step in the war against women and civil liberties was particularly easy and not all that creative or original. (For the extreme nerd, peruse this legal scholarly article on abortion.)

Look around you, f***tards! America is heading toward a less free country thanks to SCOTUS, RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kook. The country’s move toward a more restrictive and bigoted nation is also facilitated, in part, by apathetic and moronic voters who are just too f***ing stupid to be bothered with fighting for America’s democracy. And don’t get me started about the inability of dumbass Democrats to mount a ruthless fight to protect our democracy and freedoms! Ukrainians — soldiers, civilians, teenagers, grandmothers — are standing up to Russia and dying to defend their democracy. Yet, Americans are too f***ing G.D. lazy to get informed and vote as if their lives depended on it, which people will start realizing is no longer a cliché. What kind of country will America become wherein a woman can no longer travel outside her state to perform a legal medical procedure? You see what’s happening here, I hope? Women will soon have no freedom of movement. They will be assumed into bodily servitude under the state in which they were born. There is no bottom to conservatives’ desires to control women and minorities through their fundamentalist religiosity.

I could say I hate to boast about being right, but I won’t. Part of the point of this blog is to scream at the world about everything I see happening now and coming in the future that the rest of the country just kinda shrugs off. Whatever! We get the government we deserve, and we’re about to feel the pain of our choices (or indifference) in spectacular fashion, especially for women and minorities. Next is LGBTQ rights, which are already under attack across several states. It is coming! RepubliKKKlans are coming for your rights! Make my words, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America! Always dumber!

Russian Military Incompetence

Slava Ukraini!

I was reluctant to attribute Russian failures in the first week of the war to their incompetence because I did not — and I still dare not — underestimate Russia’s capacity to be evil, for minimizing the enemy has always been a weakness of the West even as Putin demonstrated his true colors at every moment in history and currently. But now, I can confidently admit that I was wrong: The Russian military and its leadership really are a bunch of incompetent stooges. It does not mean they are no less dangerous. When the Russian military brass becomes frustrated with a losing strategy — as is the case here — they revert to the good old standby plan B: Bomb everything!

I never doubted Ukrainians’ capacity and desire to fend off the Russian invaders. That was never a question for me. I questioned how long it could last; I thought 4-6 weeks, but I think it can be indefinitely! More than anything, what has surprised me is the West’s cohesion and resolve to stand up to Putin. This is a first!

I Stand Corrected

From what I have gleaned from the war so far, I guess Putin does want to rule over rubble.

This Man Has Never Written a Wrong Word

Chauncey DeVega of Salon writes, “Biden’s speech was resolute, sometimes eloquent. But the compromise he imagines is just surrendering to fascism. … My greatest worry about Biden is simple: America needs a fighting champion if its democracy is to be saved. To this point, as this week’s State of the Union address made clear once again, he does not appear to be up to that challenge. … Biden repeatedly spoke of the need to ‘unify’ Democrats and Republicans. That means seeking ‘unity’ with those who actively tried to nullify the 2020 election and supported a violent coup to prevent him from becoming president. Moreover, the Republican fascists have in no way ended their campaign to end American democracy and terminate Biden’s presidency. … But in believing that is still true, Biden has committed a grievous error: Today’s Republican Party and ‘conservative’ movement comprise a revolutionary force, which seeks to destroy American democracy and replace it with fascism or some other form of authoritarianism. When Biden speaks of ‘unity’ or ‘compromise’ with the Republicans he is giving aid and comfort to the neofascist movement — if not surrendering to it altogether.”

I will not criticize a wartime president, but I’ll let DeVega speak for me. This is why I repeatedly say America is doomed! Dumbass Democrats are too weak and clueless to the danger facing America’s democracy. Welcome to stupid America. I’m not wrong about this! Mark my words!

Is Capitalism Waking Up to Democracy?

While it is fantastic and refreshing news that American and European companies are initiating their own “sanctions” by severing business ties with Russia, there is a more unsettling and fundamental truth underlying these actions; capitalism has been in bed with authoritarian nations and dictators for too long. Unfortunately, there is a potent anti-nationalistic proclivity in the pursuit of expanding capitalism at the expense of democracy. American and European companies eager to do business in international markets all too often sacrifice domestic interests while knowingly enriching dictators and their regimes. Putin and Xi are two prime examples. What has American capitalism, in particular, wrought with its relationships in Russia and China? A militaristic Russia and a relentlessly rising China that is also bent on military expansion.

Moreover, American companies have been sacrificing American workers for decades as every company pursuing higher and higher profits exports manufacturing to China and outsourcing work to other, low-paying countries. Incredibly, American companies have consistently failed to weigh national interests in their cost-benefit analysis; it is purely a bottom-line calculus, which may finally be coming back to bite them but only by force. There is a reason why “Made in America” is a laughable cliche. There is profound hypocrisy in the way businesses — like traitor trump — proclaim the great American manufacturer, yet they send their manufacturing operations overseas. The traitor trump brand (e.g., suits and ties to name a few of many) is made in China. Adding insult to injury, his “see you next Tuesday” daughter miraculously procured dozens of Chinese patents in the first year of her work in the White House. For all those American business leaders who profess the need to bring business back to America but never do, I guess it takes a war for them to realize that having done business with dictators and authoritarian governments may not have been in the world’s best interest and — ultimately — their bottom line.

Be Careful with MSM Interpretations, People

What I am about to write may come across as being a Russian apologist, but I assure you that it is not; it is, however, a blunt assessment that will not engage in wishful thinking and not underestimate the enemy as the MSM undoubtedly appears to be doing at every hour with every broadcast on the Ukraine war. If there is one thing MSM constantly pursues is quixotic interpretations of the military aspects of the war thus far, which is very dangerous because they are setting up the public for some unexpected and heavy disappointment. I am making no pronouncements about the outcome of the war. Ultimately, I think Russia will be mired in a persistent Ukrainian insurgence situation. Of course, the humanitarian coverage is just the opposite, and rightly so: Bleak and overwhelming. But to harp on the David vs. Goliath narrative, though compelling, wholly belies the reality. And all these former American military top brass on MSNBC and CNN engaging in schadenfreude over Russian perceived ineptness is also dangerous.

Some particularly frustrating examples include the following. That G.D. 40-mile long “stalled” convey. If I have to hear commentators suggest that Russia ran out of gas and supplies or Russia can’t get their act together, then I’m going to go f***ing postal. Has it ever occurred to anyone that perhaps they stopped intentionally? Actually, Secretary of Defense Bliken admitted that yesterday. They now believe Russia has paused to regroup and re-think their Kyiv strategy, which, of course, happens because nothing ever goes according to plan after the first shot. It probably says more about the state of the war, knowing that Russia feels emboldened to pause in plain sight since the convey remains unmolested. I haven’t seen any updated satellite images of destroyed and smoldering vehicles. That d*mn convoy remains just as it was days ago. (And as I update this post, new reporting reveals that Ukrainians are harassing the convoy and that they blew up a bridge, which is causing the Russian column to stall out, so Glory to Ukraine!)

Then there are those images of a few Russian soldiers looting a grocery store because the assumption is the Russian army can’t get food to their soldiers. I saw those images, and clearly, the amount of product they were taking could not feed a squad for more than a day. Who knows. Maybe Russians were stealing HoHos and Twinkies because I’m sure those are not standard ration issue.

Next, we move on to those images of Russian equipment abandoned on the side of the road, which is supposed to indicate that the military is outdated and in chaos. Of the thousands of pieces of military hardware, some of it is going to just f***ing breakdown. It means nothing about the overall Russian military. I promise you. Ukrainians are feeling the brunt of the 99 percent of all the remaining military equipment that is working just fine!

The problem with MSM reporting and experts “analyzing” the battlefield is that they use inductive reasoning to construct wrong conclusions. One incident of soldiers stealing food means Russia can’t feed the army. Vehicles stopped in convoy means the army ran out of gas. Equipment on the side of the road means the entire military apparatus is breaking down. Look! I am by no means defending Russia, but I want people to clear away all the happy talk and focus on the real problem: Russia is advancing, albeit slowly. It may not be the American military ideal of a military operation that should have been accomplished by now, but they are advancing. This has always been a fatal flaw with Americans and the West. They have underestimated Putin for decades, and they continue to do it at this very moment. This is why people need to wake up.

American Traitors!

Traitor Rosendale and Traitor Cawthorn

Traitors say what? “Two new Republican bills both seek to tie the U.S. response to Ukraine to the situation along the border with America’s own southern neighbor. The Secure America’s Borders First Act would ban the use of federal dollars to assist Ukraine until the U.S.-Mexico border achieves “operational control,” including a border wall as per former President Donald Trump’s famous campaign pledge. (The bill even requires the wall be at least 30 feet tall.) It was introduced in the House on February 8 as H.R. 6648, by Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT0). The USB (Ukraine and Southern Border) Act would allow the U.S. to support Ukraine, but mandates that the number of Armed Force members deployed there must be less than the number deployed to the Mexican border. It was introduced in the House on February 9 as H.R. 6665, by Madison Cawthorn (R-NC11).”

Traitors get what? “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States [emphasis added].” Time to start acting, people!

Nature Always Restores Balance

From The New York Times, “Sometimes, Bruce C. Glavovic feels so proud to be an environmental scientist, studying coastal planning and teaching future researchers, that it moves him to tears. Other times, he wonders whether any of it has been enough. Scientists have proved beyond doubt that climate change is transforming the planet for the worse. Yet their work has mostly failed to spur governments to address the issue. When all the signs are telling scientists that their research is not being heard, it is tragic, Dr. Glavovic said, that they just keep producing more of it. … The new report, all 3,675 pages of it, was issued on Monday and concludes that global warming is outpacing our ability to cope [emphasis added].”

Scientists are getting more frustrated because humanity consistently ignores them and science. Each time I read another article about climate change, I just chuckle. At this point, there is really nothing else to do because it’s all too late, morons. It’s also laughable because scientists have yet to conclude (or admit, perhaps) that it is too late. It has been too late, probably for the last decade. We’ve already passed the point of no return. I have no science to back up my statement; I only have my intuition and experience. For instance, during my Sophomore year of high school, I selected climate change as a persuasive topic in speech class. At that time, the estimated crisis point was around the year 2250. Ever since then, I’ve been keeping track of climate change, and with every significant update, that window for the point of no return keeps shrinking: First, it was by 2250, then by 2100, then by 2050, and now within ten years or so. Well, I’m telling you, people, it’s already too late. There is nothing we can do to reverse the inevitable run-away conditions of climate change. Everything is accelerating beyond what scientists keep forecasting: Ice caps melting, droughts, fires, flooding, more severe hurricanes and tornados, and rising sea levels.

However, fear not! Nature always restores balance — always! By what means, you may ask? E.L.E.! That’s how. Look, morons! Humanity is its own best extinction-level event. And that’s going to happen sooner than you may like. Pick a vector: WW III, disease (e.g., COVID), climate change, other. I’m sorry to have to say it, but humanity cannot cope with climate change. There is no desire to meaningfully address the problem because the ramifications are not immediately before us — despite being everywhere around us. We are powerless against the instinct not to sh*t all over the place we live for all of our advances, technology, and brainpower. In some respect, we are still monkeys throwing poo.

Moreover, half of the citizens of one of the highest polluting nations think climate change is all a f***ing hoax or believe why bother — long live oil and coal! Humanity is too lazy to do the hard things like getting off of fossil fuels. But, again, do not worry, for nature will cull no more and no less than is necessary to restore a thriving environment. It just probably won’t include you or your descendants. Welcome to stupid humanity! I expected nothing less.
