Rest In Peace -United States of America

Rest In Peace
United States of America
July 4, 1776 – January 20, 2025
“Even God could not save her from the religious.”

There needs to be some serious soul searching amongst the denizens of this country.  There was no sane, moral or ethical reason for having voted for the chimera that is DJT, especially this time around, as his psychopathy had been on full display for years.

If you voted for him because your religion is preaching an Armageddon / Second Coming of Christ fantasy, and he is the the agent that God will use to fulfill those end days delusions, you need to apply critical thinking skills to what they are  spewing from the pulpits and to religion in general.  But then again, it seems to me, the only way for people to be religious is to forego thinking critically about it.  With the Evangelicals embracing DJT as they have, faith has become a four letter word in my book.

God save us from the religious.

For the first time in my life I am truly afraid, afraid of future, afraid of what this country is becoming, afraid of many of my fellow citizens, afraid of what DJT and his ilk are going to do to this world. The only bright spot I can see in this cluster f*** is that I will not be around much longer to witness it.

Word of the Day – Doge

Word of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many on my landing page.  Words have always fascinated me, and I am a fan of all types of word play, especially puns.  I have a hard time not looking up a word that I am unfamiliar with or not sure of the definition. I like those authors that stretch me by throwing in unexpected terms.   

  • Noun: Doge
    1. the chief magistrate in the former republics of Venice and Genoa.
  • Synonyms:
    1. prime minister
    2. leader
    3. premier
    4. chancellor
    5. PM
    6. President
    7. head of government
    8. head of state
    9. chief of state
    10. commander in chief
    11. chief minister
    12. first minister
    13. chief executive
    14. head of the government
    15. ruler
  • Usage:
    1. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is an initiative of the second tAss administration informally led by that POS Elon Musk
  • Encountered:
    1.  Okay, this has been niggling at the back of my mind for a while, so I finally looked it up.  I knew I had read this word somewhere, history being one of my prime non-occupational interest.  I am sure the POS that is Elon Musk (who probably dreamed up this name) is well aware of the double entendre. I doubt tAss has a inkling as it is doubtful he reads beyond the fifth grade level. I am clueless as to why this man is part of the government except, as impossible as it seems, tAss is the  biggest whore in his circle, a circle full of the worst possible excuses for Homo sapiens imaginable. I sometimes think that they must be blackmailing the puta naranja pendejo, except he has no shame.

I just need to get me some more gummies and go back to ignoring the demise of my once beloved country, to pretending this is really not happening.

Quote of the Day – Oscar Wilde

  1. Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.

“I think that God in creating Man somewhat overestimated his ability”.  ~~ Oscar Wilde

I don’t generally put out two postings a day, but I stumbled across this quote I had queued up and I could not resist.

Heaven forbid I should question such a wordsmith as Oscar Wilde so I am assuming the ambiguity is intentional. Did God overestimate his own ability  or that of Man?

Quote of the Day – Thomas More

Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence.  I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.

“Plato by a goodly similitude declareth, why wise men refrain to meddle in the commonwealth. For when they see the people swarm into the streets, and daily wet to the skin with rain, and yet cannot persuade them to go out of the rain, they do keep themselves within their houses, seeing they cannot remedy the folly of the people.” ~~ Thomas More

The EASIEST countries to move to as an American.

I will never pry Señora out of St. Louis, and I am very fond of her…  If not for that, I would definitely see this as a possibility.   I thought Costa Rica was a wonderful country with very friendly people.  Panama I would have to visit to get a better feel for.  The thought of living in Spain has always intrigued me.  I hear wonderful things about Portugal.  While Italy is not on this list, it has a warm spot in my heart.  My Spanish is passable enough that it would not be an issue in 3 of the countries, although English is widely spoken in those three too. My main issue with Central America is that golf courses are few and far between, and not particularly cheap.  Of course if my back continues its downward journey, that will cease to be so important. I know that four of the six countries on the list have large ex-pat communities.  The other two might, but it would need some research.  I am sure he does not really mean it, but I have a long standing offer of housing in Honduras.

I just cannot get over the fact that 71 million of my fellow citizens voted for the monster that is tRump, especially with every sane, main stream Republican screaming at the top of their voice that the Emperor is wearing no clothes, please vote for for the Democrat.  There is something fundamentally wrong with the soul of this country. I won’t bore you with a rant about what I think that is.

I may be an American, but I am not a proud American, in fact I am the complete opposite after this election.

Racism and Misogyny have won out

Kamala Harris is infinitely more qualified to be President of the United States than the tRump.  I just do not understand how so many people could vote for this horrible, terribly horrible person except by explaining it by their fear of a woman of color holding the office – racism and misogyny.   They also rejected Hillary Clinton, who was probably the most qualified person to run for the office in my lifetime.

I am having fantasies of checking out of this world rather than living through the next four years of the cluster fuck that is going to be a second go round with this monster.  But I am not likely to do so as Señora has had enough pain in her life, plus I doubt I have the courage.  What is about to come down the road, however, might make me desperate enough.

As a military brat I always had a great love and pride of country. No more.  With tRump, Christian Nationalism, Project 2025, etc., I have come to hate what this country has become, especially since they seem to be doubling done on the awfulness.  It does seem like from all the history I have read, that in the long run, evil generally wins out over good. tRump is evil incarnate.

Truly if there is a god as detailed in the religious texts, he hates humanity, as we keep getting leaders of such low caliber.   I really thought that when tRump was elected the first time, it was one of the worst days of my life.  I was wrong.  Since we know what a monster tRump is this time around, yet he was elected, this time feels and is significantly worse.

The only positive thing to come out of last night is that Missourians did vote to repeal the draconian ban of abortion.  However, I fully expect tRump and gangsters to make a national abortion ban law.

May the Devil save us as apparently God is not going to do so.

And so it should not go.

Keb’ Mo’ – Put a Woman in Charge feat. Rosanne Cash (Official Music Video)

Keb’ Mo’ and Rosanne Cash, two of my favorites, singing Put a Woman in Charge.

I say we try it. How wonderful it could be if we brought some feminine sensibilities to governing the world…

Although I have know some Southern, gun-toting, Republican women who would make JD Vance seem like a liberal choir boy.

Vote today as if the future of our country depends on it… because it does.

“St. Louis Pizza” – Jim Eats The World – Jim Gaffigan

A while back I wrote an article, Iconic St. Louis Foods, obviously about foods that are considered emblematic of St. Louis. One of those is St. Louis style pizza.  The best known purveyor being Imo’s Pizza.

If you grew up in St. Louis there is a good chance you love this style of pizza.  Most folks who have not grown up here do not.  One of the quickest ways for me to punch one of Señora’s buttons is to denigrate this iconic St. Louis food. I just don’t get it.  I find it nearly inedible.  But then again I am not a big fan of pizza in general.

Below is the comedian Jim Gaffigan’s take on St. Louis style pizza.  Enjoy the video if not the pizza. Spoiler alert – he is not as negative about it as I am.
