Have you no decency, Amerika?

The American government is a farse-a fraud. It is cowardly, greedy, criminal, corrupt and run by the criminal elements in the White House, Senate and House. They call themselves democratic so that the citizens will remain thinking that the government is god’s gift to the world. There is nothing decent about killing of the 3 million Vietnamese, the 100s of thousands of East Timorese, the 50,000 Nicaraguans, the list is endless. There are few people in Washington that do other than represent the rich corporate interests.

American people are mostly not aware of what the U.S. government truly stands for many believing that it is democratic and fights for our freedom and for democratic causes around the world. The opposite is the reality.
In the last year the U.S. puppet in Israel killed over 50,000 Palestinians. Our “good” Minnesota Senators are supporting Netanyoyo in Israel especially Senator Klobuchar who should be impeached and tried for war crimes. I taught English in Gaza and the West Bank of Palestine. The Islamic University of Gaza where I taught was destroyed by Israel. Most of the 50,000 dead are women and children. Palestine has a right to defend itself but it’s hard to defend against American war machinery. Biden is definitely a war criminal-no doubt. Trump is the same.

The U.S. government causes never ending worldwide misery for the sake of corporate profits and we are duped into paying for it thinking that Amerika is right.

Make America Racist Again is what they really want

How do you make America great again? The same way it was made a few generations ago. You created a strong supportive Middle and Working class, which made enough money to live on, with strong unions that allowed and supported upward mobility. You did it with an educational system that was open and tolerant, which was the envy and the model for the rest of the world. You did it with the influences of cultures all over the world, even black and brown ones. You did it with the post-industrial revolution intellectualism and science that opened the doors for anyone willing to do the work to succeed. 

You don’t do it with some rabid Nazi from apartheid South Africa tearing your government apart. You don’t do it by piling all the wealth on one end of the teeter-totter, or by building walls between the citizens.

But now, guess where this country is going? It sure as hell isn’t to greatness anymore. As the current Mad Squad rips us apart, and returns us to the 18th century, we can only watch ourselves return to coal mine slavery and white betrayal. Now, it seems, the racist and Bible-tent south, and all the things it represents, has risen again.

Useless Stauber spews more bilge

So I got my latest newsletter from congressman Stauber via email, and he goes on about rogue activist judges who dare to rule against King Donny. Stauber, who used to be a police officer and has a bachelor’s degree in criminology, should have at least some knowledge about the rule of law and our constitution one would think. But, that doesn’t appear to be so.

Here are just two instances of where judges have ruled against the Trump administration. The first, a judge ruled that a person in the country legally cannot be detained and then prepared for deportation just for speaking their opinion. Hardly a rogue ruling. The administration claims the person a danger but provides no evidence nor believes this individual has any right to due process. The second more broadly includes multiple court cases where numerous judges have ruled that the president cannot unilaterally decide not to spend money congress has already appropriated, nor can he abolish a federal department congress has created. Unless he goes through normal legislative procedures and congress agrees to do so.

If either of these presidential actions are allowed to stand then toss the constitution in the garbage. Why is congress needed if the president can change by himself what they pass into law. With republicans like Stauber attacking our courts will we have a democracy?
