Truth needs no vaccine

How can Trump “restore truth and sanity” when he lies and is insane?
On March 27 the CEO, President and Grand Wizard of the Trumusklican Klan that represents the Divided States of America signed another Executive Order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” 

First, Trump is ignorant and doesn’t know any history or truth. Second, he lies all the time. Third, he can’t restore sanity because he is insane. 

On April 2, he made it possible with a 54% tariff to sell his red $55 MAGA caps made in China to his suckers for $84.70. Quite an achievement for a guy who went bankrupt six times.

While our Great Leader with bone spurs was “winning” the championship at his Saudi-backed Doral Golf Course “tournament,” he upheld the tag on him labeled by anyone who has played golf with him: “He cheats all the time.” 

Trump has “won” the championship at his Palm Beach Club two years in a row. Pictures on the wall prove it. 

Meanwhile, Wall Street was tanking because of his tariff wars, his hooded, masked and unidentified immigration police were handcuffing and stuffing college students into unmarked cars and putting them on planes to El Salvador to jails designed to let prisoners out only when they die.  

How many of the head-shaved, chained prisoners crab-walked to their cells will walk out of the “specially-designed” prison alive? 

A judge commented that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), programmed to deport at least 20 million rapists, murders, thieves and undocumented ASAP, was worse than the Nazis. 

Mutha Gessen of The New York Times and a Jewish member of the LBGTQUIA+ community described it in a few short sentences: “It’s the catastrophic interruption of daily life, as when a Tufts University graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, was grabbed on a suburban street by half a dozen plainclothes agents, most of them masked, It’s the forced mass transportation of immigrants. It’s the growing irrelevance of the law and the helplessness of judges and lawyers. The executive branch apparently ignored these rulings.” 

This does remind one of the black-shirted SS of Adolf Hitler going house-to-house in German cities rounding up Jews, homosexuals, the physically and mentally handicapped and non-Aryans to take them to train stations on lines to Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

Every nanosecond records history every homo sapiens should know
Out of the estimated 108 billion people who have died and or live on Planet Earth, many billions have been led by autocrats, dictators and “Never Enough” plutocrats. They range from cave-dwelling bosses to Egyptian pharaohs to Julius Caesar to Genghis Khan to Peter the Great to Joe Stalin to Adolf Hitler to Benito Mussolini to Kim-Jong-un to Vladimir Putin to XI to Turkey’s Erdogan to Donald Trump. 

As truth becomes the vaccine of speech over time, I hope Ian Johnson in his book Sparks: China’s Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future is revealing the truth about Mao Zedong’s rule of China with his “Culture Revolution” during the 1960s.

Chinese history contains a strong thread of ancient Confucian value of philosophy that it is important to do what is right, even if it might mean the separation of head from torso. 

Remember Mao’s little red book containing all of the rules of the Communist Party?  

During this time, Chinese writer Yu Luoke published The Journal of Secondary School Cultural Revolution, which, following Confucian beliefs, attacked Mao’s rules about communism eliminating five types of people: landlords, rich farmers, counterrevolutionaries, bad elements and rightists. 
Mao did not like rightists like Luoke. Besides, Luoke’s book reached many thousands of readers who wrote letters attacking Mao in newspapers and other media.

Finally, the autocratic Mao had enough. He arrested the writer, imprisoned him, and in March of 1970 bused children to Beijing’s largest stadium and had Luoke executed by firing squad to impress the thousands of children about the wisdom of supporting the resistance to Mao. 

It also took almost a decade to discover Mao had more than 9,000 people murdered in Hunan Province. People were beaten to death and tossed into nearby rivers. 

Another entertaining method designed by Mao to kill resisters was called “Homemade Airplanes.” People were bound together, explosives were placed in the middle of the bound people and fired. Body parts flew  into darkening skies.

Who’s the planet’s greatest grifter? It’s the Manhattan village idiot!
So, here’s the president and CEO of the political corporation that presently owns the White House and all of its subsidiaries, including the headquarters at Mor-a-Loco, and contains golf courses, hotels, restaurants and other entertainment facilities in Palm Beach, a rich enclave mansioning and estating 65 “Never Enough” billionaires who have paid the planet’s greatest grifter a cool $1 million to belong to his club – and buy his amazing and tantalizing MAGA stuff in his “stores.” 

The cult member can buy a Black Sharpie he signs all of his Executive Orders with for $3. He even has the biggest signature of any president signed with his biggest hands! Walmart sells them for about 80 cents each. 

At his three merchandise shops you can buy a crystal-studded purse for $550 and Doral paperweights made in China for $18 – whoops, $27.72 with new tariff! 

If you wanted some real history, one could buy a copy of the executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America for as little as $50! 

You can also buy Rolex watches for $100,000, Trump autographed Bibles for $1,000, and gold and red sneakers for $500.

His Saudi-backed golf tournament at his Doral course filled 643 rooms and the $13,000 a night presidential suite. Ordinary rooms run from $642 to $1,996 a night, with most more than $1,000 a night. (I wonder if the red MAGA baseball cap is still $84.70 because of the Chinese tariff!) 

At his B LT Prime steakhouse bar,  a porterhouse steaks runs $130. If a golf fan bought a $1,400 ticket, he could enter party areas along the course for free drinks, food and laughter. At various times during the day, Trump sent out social media messages, including this one: “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE.” 

No doubt he belongs to the “Never Enough” club.

Since he was elected the world’s greatest grifter, America’s CEO has held four political fund raisers at Mor-a-Loco. Each one had 20 invited contributors who each paid $1,000,000 to sit at Trump’s table and buy a “deal” from him in the aptly named “White and Gold Room.” That’s from a favorite motto: “Keep the country White filled with Gold.” 

Some of the people with the big checkbooks: Las Vegas casino owner Miriam Adelson, sugar magnate Pepe Fanjul, Lockheed (world’s largest military contractor!) CEO James Taiclet, cosmetics heir Ronald Lauder, billionaire Steve Wynn of Las Vegas casino fame, and representatives from the cryptocurrency and energy industries where the Trump organization has big investments. 

The Lyin’ King can clear $20 million in about two hours at the table.

Abigail says: “Every billionaire who can’t live on $999 million...
• Is a kind of sociopath. Abigail Disney at 21 inherited many millions from Roy O Disney, the brother of Walt. The two founded the Walt Disney Company in 1923—and if you are alive today on Planet Earth you probably have watched a Disney product, visited and enjoyed a theme park and bought a collector’s item from it. It would be extremely difficult to estimate how many billions of dollars have been “created” by that huge company.

Abigail is now 65 and is the mother of four. By 2021 had given $70 million to various causes, mostly to women living with HIV, women in prisons around the world and women who are victims of domestic violence. She was one of the first members of the Patriotic Millionaires, a rather small American organization devoted to increasing taxes on rich people and spreading the idea that large concentrations of wealth destroy democracies. She has given a speech at the Vatican when it promoted an event sponsored by Pope Francis urging the very wealthy (blessed by more than 3,000 billionaires!) to pay more taxes and help to eliminate economic inequality. She also campaigns the Disney company to improve wages, benefits, and working conditions for all of its workers. She still owns a lot of Disney stock.

She is a constant critic of Donald Trump because she has known about him for much of adult life: “Trump is an inheritor (as she is) but he never acknowledges it, but he wouldn’t have been able to do any of the things he did without an inheritance. You have the money because you’re special.” 
She then reveals a lot about his life. Trump was violent and a bully when he was a child, and the more money he makes the more he exhibits these bad qualities. 

She also says Elon Musk is a lot like Trump. Both lack empathy. Musk recently made this strange statement on a national podcast: “We’ve got civilization suicidal empathy going on. And it’s like, I believe in empathy. I think you should care about other people, but you need to have empathy for civilization as a whole and not commit to civilization suicide.” Wow!

How did we end up with a secretary of defense who is beyond stupid?
About two-thirds of the 85% of the enlisted troops in our Armed Forces come from the poorest counties in the country and they come mostly from red states because of the lack of civilian jobs. Men make up 82.5% and women 17.5% of the military. 

It’s a bit strange that 19.3% of the officers are women – or were (some have been “fired!”). 

A key statistic: 68.7% are White and 31.3% are Black, Brown, Yellow and Red. That means that every noncommissioned officer and commissioned officer absolutely must learn how to lead a force developed by diversity, equity and inclusion, that is DEI. 

When I was a Marine officer a century ago, President Harry Truman had integrated the Armed Forces and about 70% of my troops were White, my “top” sergeant was Black, and my three squad leaders were Black tech or staff sergeants. Two of them had been decorated veterans of the Korean War.
So, now we have an idiot ex-Fox News anchor with very little military experience appointed by a five-deferment coward who spent Vietnam War days playing golf with painful bone spurs and sexually attacking and harassing women. 

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who has expressed his hatred of women and minorities in the military, has just forced the U.S. Naval Academy to remove more than 400 books from the library that contained material explaining the use of DEI knowledge in commanding troops whether they are women or men, or White, Black, Brown, Yellow or Red. 

This is way beyond stupid. How can leaders lead if they don’t know the characteristics of those who carry rifles and fly drones and planes? 

I think the Doomsday Clock just hit midnight, or passed it.
