Dear Future President
It's time for another political article because as I surf through Twitter and Youtube I'm seeing post after post about Trump and Kamala. Oy ve and a half. Look what America has been reduced to: Trump, the felon who causes insurrections or Kamala, the brain dead druggie who can't complete an actual real sentence. We are so doomed. Still, if I could vote, I'd give my vote to the felon. At least I can understand him when he speaks.

Republicans! Here’s a Hint, Eve Had a Point of View Too
Republicans just don’t know if they should shit or go blind. They’ve fought for years to establish the idea that abortion is wrong. The only problem with that stance is the problems women have when their lives are upended with a pregnancy. Well, those problems do not give a single fuck about laws that any state passes to insist that all the citizens of that state ignore reality. God just screwed up when he/she/it made women. Cripes, it’s right there in Genesis. Women are being punished for being more curious than men. Therefore, it’s clear, some 5000 years later, that Adam and Eve were evil through and through. Not only that but it was Eve who had to have some apple. She knew better and made poor Adam do something he really did not want to do. The only reason God was PO’ed with Adam was because he didn’t stand up for what God told him to do with his old lady. Apparently, Adam’s fig leaf prevented tanning in certain essential areas which support manly manliness, and poor Adam succumbed to the succubus Eve. Maybe it’s just me, but that story has some parts in it that answer a lot of my questions, but it surely does raise a bunch of questions I can’t answer, too.

A Republican Cootie Infestation
I’ve found that it’s rather rare to encounter people who are familiar with the concept of dichotomies and how the concept affects our perception of everything around us, including inter-human events. This election season may be the best illustration of this phenomenon we’ll ever have. The far right Congressional Freedom caucus is the prime example.

Kamala's Potential VPs.. Content Warning.
Vice-President Harris seems to have been quiet. Not much has happened at Kamala Harris' end of the White House. One gets the impression that Ms. Harris was consigned to a broom cupboard somewhere. Wheeled out now and again, to flank President Biden. Of course, that wasn't the reality for Ms. Harris but it seems like that.

The Thinly Veiled Racism of the Republican Orange Boy Fantasy
My daddy told me one time when I was knee-high to a grasshopper–okay it was a really big grasshopper–that I would do well to look a man in the eye when he paid me. I was not to take my pay by reaching behind my back to get it. In time I learned that to do as he instructed, it was necessary to do my work as he had instructed me too. His only instruction about work was, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” Right meant that not only was work to be done to a standard higher than a client could reach himself and to be done efficiently and, obviously, so that it could not be done better in the same time by anyone. It could be done as well, but if someone could do it better, the job just wasn’t done yet. I’ve found in my brief sojourn here in this world that the old man knew what he was talking about.

"Vice President Kamala Harris for President 2024 IN AMERICA!". Content Warning.
I support Vice President Kamala Harris for President 2024 IN AMERICA! I researched on Bing co-pilot for this story that I revised with my input to focus on VP Harris accomplishments. I am a Californian. I think Vice President Kamala Harris is an intelligent woman and has accomplished so many positive ideas to make America a free country supporting Democracy.

How Neoliberalism Has Failed the Youth
In recent years, the failings of neoliberalism have become increasingly apparent, particularly in its impact on the younger generation. The promises of prosperity, opportunity, and upward mobility that neoliberalism once held are now overshadowed by growing inequality, precarious employment, and diminishing prospects for the youth. This article delves into the ways in which neoliberalism has failed the younger generation, creating suggestions as to how a new political, economic hegemony could replace it.

Have We Become a Nation of Pig Beauty Apologists?
Not that it’s any of my business particularly, but I have a couple of thoughts about “woke” that I’d like to run by you for your esteemed consideration. I think there’s a good chance that underneath the Republican bullshit about the poor old unsuspecting word “woke,” there are some real nuggets of wisdom we shouldn’t ignore completely, merely because some often offensive Other thought smart thoughts. Besides, I suspect that the part of what those folks are calling “woke” is really a stupid part of the “We all be one big old feelings protected family. Kumbaya!” crowd and other equally challenged demographics on both sides of the great Left/Right divide. Maybe what the anti-woke wing of the Freedom Circus is trying to say (but lack the verbal mastery to spit out), is there are word salads which just do not make sense simply because they do not define reality but rather attempt to put lipstick on all their pigs. That is something that has gradually become all too real in our society. I fear we’ve advanced into a nation of pig beauty apologists.

6B vs 53 Years of Keeping the Country Safe
I’ve been watching news reports over the last few days of what I suppose to have been a hearing on something, but it turned out to be a bitch session for our long-time source of great material, 6B (Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body). I do so wish that girl understood the difference between knowing how you know anything at all and claiming knowledge of anything at all without knowing the source of that knowledge. 6B wouldn’t even acknowledge that Dr. Fauci was actually a doctor with decades of experience. She stated that he should be in jail because she didn’t like to have to wear a mask.
