Israel-Hamas war

I realize that my position on this will be polarizing, but it is what it is.  I can't muster much sympathy for the Palestinians in this mess.  They planned the most brutal attack they could.  They butchered those Israelies and other.  Anyone who beheads a baby or rapes a baby ceases to be part of the human race and becomes a monster to be eradicated. And that is what Hamas is-a monster to be eradicated.  And from observing, albeit by media, the Palestinians over the years, it seems that they are all complicant in the systemic eradication of the Jews not just of Israel, but world wide.  This has Natizism written all over it.  That was the goal of Hitler.  And they inidrocinate their children to follow in the footsteps of Hamas.  So if you as a people are raising your children to be butchers, why would you expect those that you are trying to butcher to cut you any slack?  I have no sympathy.  Israel has a right to exist.  And this scream that they took Palestinian land is bs.  That land was stolen from the Jews thousands of years ago.  And there has never been a Palestinian state.  The land that Israel occupies was part of the Ottoman Empire then a part of Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.  It was never Palestine.  And everywhere the Palestinians go, they do nothing but cause trouble,.  When Jordan accepted them, they killed Jordan's king and tried to take over Jordan.  No other Muslim country wants them because they know they are the hoodlums of the Muslim world.  

But by supporting them in Israel and Gaza, the rest of the Muslim world is showing their lack of compassion, lack of character.  They are telling the world we don't want them because they are nothing but trouble makers, but we will support them anyway.  That is like the citizens of the United States saying we don't want the Proud Boys, but we will support them if they are aiming their anger and vitrol at you and not us.  Same difference.  

To those Palestinians showing their rears here, we accepted you into our country.  We only ask that you integrate and become American.  You have not.  What you have done is bring your trash with you.  You expect to live here and demand that we stop Israel from defending itself.  You expect to live here with all the freedoms we offer and use those freedoms to build your own little Muslim enclaves here and then scream victim every time we rein you in.  Everyone of those protesting and destroying property should be deported.  I don't care if you are a naturalized citizen, anchor baby or just here on a visa.  It is time you left.  We don't need this kind of garbage here.  That is my take on this mess and since I am around 10th generation American, I think I have the right to this opinion.  I won't change it. 

 

My opinion

 The republicans have regained a slim majority in the house of representative.  And the crazy in the party is in control and on full, shameful display.  Marjorie Taylor Green.  Does nothing but make a  spectacle of herself, has no manners, does not know the first thing about governing.  Apparently, her district in Georgia would rather have a raving lunitic with no morals and no manners represent them than vote for a black, educated veteran.  I really wanted to smack her when she made an ass of herself at the State of the Union speech.  She acted like what she is-uneducated white trash.  The South has sunk to a new low.  And in my own state of Texas, Ted Cruz never fails to deliver on embarrassment.  For someone who is supposed to be so smart, he is an empty vessel.  There is no character, no integrity there at all.  But that is what the republican party has become.  They don't govern.  They point the finger and blame democrats for everything wrong in the country in spite of the fact that most of the problems has been caused by them.  

Mess with them

 Every person in this country that supports a woman's right to chose needs to now hit those keys and avidly research how to get an abortion, where the abortion clinics are, how to order the abortion pills.  They are going to be watching online and those companies like Facebook will hand over your information.  My guess so will Google.  So give them something to do.  They will absolutely violate your privacy to enforce their 11th century ideals and cruelty.  Make them work for it.  Make them go through millions and millions of searches.  Turn the tables on them.  And keep digging for dirt.  

Death spiral of my democracy

 We are on par with a  lot of the third world countries now.  We are forcing children to birth children, most times from incest, rape victims to birth their rapist's baby, poor women who have no means to support another baby  to give birth.  And the republicans refuse to increase the welfare system because women are taking advantage of it.  They refuse to offer child tax credit through the year, they refuse to fund daycare, they refuse affordable health care.  But they can sit on their comfortable, taxpayer funded fat asses and pass judgement on others.  Every damn politician in this country is a grifter, a  liar, a thief and a criminal. Every damn one of them takes bribes to pass the legislation their owners want them to pass.  Every damn one of them.  And screw the poor and the average working person.  The only time they even give them a thought is when they need their vote and they are trying very hard to allow only those voting for republicans from voting.  I so wish someone with more computer knowledge than me would dig up the dirt on every damn one of them and publish it on the internet.  Start with the Supreme Court unjustices.  Clarance Thomas first, then Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito and the female handmaiden in her cult, Barratt.  When people are as controlling, bullying and mean as they are, they are always hiding their crimes and you can bet that there is a lot of sleeze in that Supreme Court.  So hopefully, those internet sleuths will get on that. I have, in observing people, noticed that those who want to force others to follow their orders, are the ones that are hiding who they really are.  Just take Scott DesJarlis from Tennessee.  He impregnated a patient and pressured her to have an abortion.  He pressured his ex wife to have two abortions, but he is solidly pro-life, anti-abortion.  George W Bush paid for an abortion for his girlfriend back in the day, but he is pro-life, anti-abortion.  Wonder how many abortions Dan Patrick has paid for.  

Republicans plan for the poor

Lindsay Graham just unveiled the republican plan for social security and medicare.  Their plan is to cut the amount people already on social security gets.  To starve the social security fund, to allow those coming up to invest in private accounts.  And the icing on the cake, deny those with disabilities benefits or make it extra difficult for them to qualify. And they want to cut out medicare completely.  Never mind the fact that that will leave the majority of seniors with no medical insurance.  Those living on retirement cannot afford to buy insurance and could not get it anyway because of pre-existing conditions.  All this from senators living off the largess of the taxpayer, ie they are welfare recipients.  Every member either  gets a subsidy to the tune of 70% of the premiums or are on the Federal Employees Health system.  And they get excellent care--much better care than you, their employer, can get.  This is so twisted.  They should be forced to pay 100% of their health insurance.  The average working person or the poor person cannot even afford insurance.  Dental and vision care is ignored because there is no money for it.  

So for the republicans to plan on cancelling medicare and social security when congress are the ones who set it up and forced seniors to buy into medicare by allowing insurance companies to charge they  high premiums with very little care, this is basically Mafia tactics.  And still funneling $2billion to oil companies, $16million to sitting members of congress in farm subsidies.  The taxpayer also subsidizes many big businesses.  But we can't take care of our citizens.  Our citizens are not important.  I haven't figured out how in hell fools like Graham figures they can fund their pet projects when there is no more blood left in that turnip that is the taxpayer.  Our country is in a deep mess.  And don't get me started on climate change and how it is just being ignored.   

Texas stupid

A Texas congressman, Louis Gohmert, stood up and in front of cameras stated that by the Jan 6 committee subphoening those involved in the insurrection, that republicans can no longer lie to congress, can no longer lie to the FBI, can no longer lie to the DOJ.  Considering that all these actions are already illegal, what he means is that the republicans can no longer get away with it.  And that all came out of the mouth of someone who holds a law degree, has served as District Judge and on the 12th District court of appeals in Texas and 18 years in congress.  He has served on many committes concerning civil rights, terrorism, criminal justice.  That should make you feel wonderful knowing that this is who the law schools turn out.  He is an embarrassment to the State of Texas and and embarrassment to the United States and the republicans in this country and state love him.  Why?  Because the republicans want only one thing: to completely control the government in every facet.  To completely control every citizen in this country and that is what they are working hard to do.  

What these idiots who back them do not realize that, just like Hitler, when they achieve their goals and have total control, no one will have any rights.  No one.  We will be in a dictatorship.  And that is what people like Gohmert, Cruz, McCarthy, McConnell, DeSantis and Trump are all working actively to achieve and idiots like my governor and lt. governor are right on that bandwagon doing their bidding and doing their level best to make this happen.  I so hope the country wakes up.  But I am very afraid they won't.  

 

Ashamed of my country

 As everyone in the world knows, last week we had 19 children under 12 killed, actually slaughtered, and two teachers.  And the one doing the slaughtering was 6 days over 18.  He bought the high velocity semi-automatic rifles on his birthday and picked them up after the 6 day waiting period.  Having just turned 18, of course he had no record.  His juvenile record was sealed.  So he walks away with these guns.  First he shoots his grandmother in the face, then he proceeds to the school to slaughter children.  And the very worst part of this is that the cops let him do it.  They stood around for over an hour while he was in that classroom slaughtering children.  And hour.  And when a group of rogue cops decided enough was enough, they were ordered to stand down.  They ignored that order, went in and killed the 18 year old shooter.  The local cops did nothing.  NOTHING.  Why?  They were afraid of being shot and killed.  So they allowed those children to die.  

Then we move to Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Last week, a man who was angry with his doctors went into a gun store, bought an assault rifle, walked to his doctors' office, went in and opened fire.  No waiting period,.  And 4 people are dead and many others wounded.  And still the republicans will not enact stricter gun laws.  Don't get me wrong here.  I am not for removing everyone's guns.  I have family members who still hunt and supplement their supplies this way.  But you don't need and AR-15 high velocity .22 nor do you need a hand gun.  If you are just looking for home protection, a damn shotgun is the best because it has a short range and will not kill your neighbor two streets over.  And those AR-15's are good for two things, 1)killing people and 2) killing wild hogs.  Nothing else.  So they need to be banned.  Period.

The republicans are so owned by the gun lobby that they will do nothing until one of those private schools that they have their kids in gets shot up.  Then we will see action.  Do I want that to happen?  God no.  God no.  I wan to see children able to go to school without fear, without having to plan where they will hide, for the teachers to be able to teach without fear of that door bursting open and a raging idiot charging in and shooting.  But nothing will be done until it impacts the adults in government in this county and maybe not even then.  We are in scary time.
