I know Lindsay Graham is dead, but where'd all the others go?Every one of these lying bitches & sons-of-bitches will tell you to your face that they are big Xians, even as they ignore every one of the Ten Commandments.

Get Over It Already!

No Phony Patriotism Here

It's been 25 yrs., & you dumb Yankee s.o.b.s are still doing the same things & are asking for it now even more than before w/ increased unprovoked aggression across the region, possibly leading to serious all-out non-sissy fighting, like World War III. Can't think of a stupider fucking nation. You'll deserve anything & everything you get!

And remember, second-worst Pres. Bush let it happen. He never "kept us safe" from the beginning, & put us in greater jeopardy w/ his war-mongering. Thanks, Republicans!! You're the fucking best!!

Many other cartoonists' first cartoon was of a weeping Statue of Liberty. As one of the few who lived in Manhattan on 9/11, this was mine.

There it is, the truth Americans can't handle.

Those of you clinging to literacy can read what should have been done.

The basic American policy response to 9/11 should have been to liberate ourselves from fossil fuels. Without our dependence on oil, we would never have been entangled in the Middle East in the first place. Most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis, citizens of an oil kingdom that we helped to build, our “ally.” The right reaction in September 2001 -- as I wrote to a friend in the White House -- was to fund fusion and other clean energy sources. Had we done so, we could have headed off global warming, prevented further Middle East wars -- and indeed prevented the rise of Vladimir Putin’s hydrocarbon oligarchy and his invasions of Ukraine.

Today we face the reality of rising oceans, vast fires, and resource conflicts. We were given a chance to halt all of that.

But we did not take it. George W. Bush became president of the United States, despite probably losing an election to Al Gore, after the Supreme Court stopped the counting of ballots in Florida. Gore was an environmentalist who cared deeply about global warming. Had 9/11 happened during a Gore presidency, he would have intensified the search for safe energy. Gore was also a more experienced and competent person than Bush, who came from a political oil family and had done nothing notable himself. Had Gore been president, 9/11 might well not have happened. But it did happen, on the watch of the inexperienced oilman. Bush’s White House was never going to link the terror attack to its basic causes.

As if the oilagarchy would have put up w/ that for even a minute.

Money-Grubbing Corporations Betray Their Workers On "Labor" Day

Fuck you, greedy Nazi pigs! Workers get to work an extra day. You think the Bosses are in their offices in their cushy chairs? And the office workers who do no physical labor or interact w/ consuming sheep daily get a day off/three-day wknd. Not that they're free: The sheep w/ time off must consume during every free moment they have, or the system breaks down. Every last one of you a sucker-ass chump who buys into the lie!

What’s open on Labor Day? Most retailers. Closed? Government, banks and the stock market.

We'll give Costco credit for closing.

Don't get you fucking lemmings who insist on travelling during holiday wknds. either. Frankly, I'd be terribly amused if there were a hideous crash between two aircraft that resulted in 1,000+ deaths, because I am reduced to a bloodthirsty ghoul who wants only to see others suffer as he has suffered. Like this:As we make America great again by returning to the 1950s, you can expect more of the above, & it'll be well-deserved!

How Republicans Can Win

Everything they say is a lie.

In his mid-thirties, Thomas brings a balanced perspective—young enough to understand a changing world, yet grounded enough to recognize the importance of enduring values. Raised with strong Christian principles, he believes progress should never come at the expense of our moral foundation.

Thomas is a firm defender of the United States Constitution and is committed to upholding it faithfully, without hesitation, in every aspect of public service.

See? You can just tell.

Jordan Freiman / CBS News:

Everybody Is A Lying, Cheating Crook

Epecially the wealthy fucking pigs who have already stolen billions from you. Greed never stops, does it?

As noted at the end here.

The NBA has ordered the Clippers to forfeit five first-round draft picks in future NBA drafts, along with paying the $30 million fine.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been suspended from all league and team activities for one year as a result of his involvement in helping Leonard obtain income opportunities and approving business deals that violated the circumvention rules.

Clippers President of Business Operations Gillian Zucker has been suspended without pay for one year after being found culpable for her role in the impermissible endorsement arrangements and for providing false and misleading statements to investigators.

Clippers President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank has been suspended without pay for six months for his involvement in the endorsement arrangements and for approving impermissible expenses incurred by Leonard.

Are there no firing squads? These people need to be made into a glaring example that the rich will not get away w/ their constant cheating. First Sicko Sterling, now this baldhead crook. As pathetic as everything & every one else.

Two-thirds of the way through yet another annus horribilis. Not at all sure I can take four more months of this shit.

Remembering Milo

Making space on the hard drive & cloud storage, a stab from the past I can now delete.

And piss on the grave of Der Stürmer, which went away just this April, after being on the losing end of defamation suits to the tune of 18.1 million smackers, & "cancelled" by many hosting services after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

Hating America, A Never-Ending Series

The how & why of "Americanism".

The world constantly looks at the United States and asks one question: "How did they get so dumb?" But the truth is much darker. Americans aren't naturally stupid - their system was meticulously engineered over 200 years to destroy critical thinking. Today, we’re looking at the "engineered ignorance" of the American public. From importing a 19th-century Prussian military school model specifically to mass-produce obedient factory workers, to the 1950s Red Scare that literally labeled "critical thinking" as Communist propaganda. And the wildest part? America is actively exporting this hyper-narcissistic, tribal dysfunction - from the prosperity gospel to toxic internet culture wars - straight to the rest of the world. If you thought failing test scores were the only issue, you haven’t met their media machine.

"They made you a moron", to coin a phrase.

If this doesn't prove that the "social order" is irredeemable & must be destroyed, what will? NIHILISM NOW!!!!!2310-ish: Just watched it. Testify, sister!! Stops pulling punches w/ about 10 mins. remaining.

More Melting To Follow?

How many fucking sheep will die before anyone does anything? Rhetorical question. Obviously, no one is going to do a damn thing & you're all going to drown or boil soon.

Strengthening America

Eff The Farmers!

Stupid, ignernt, Common Clay of The New West morons got precisely what they voted for.

Martha McHardy / The Daily Beast:
Key Voter Group Rages at Trump for Sparking Historic Crisis  —  FIELDS OF ANGER  —  Farmers who overwhelmingly backed Trump are now warning they are in the worst financial crisis since the 1980s.  —  Donald Trump's farm-country stronghold is struggling due to an economic crisis that farmers say he is making worse.

Good. Hope they're all bankrupted & die homeless on the streets of a big city, especially since I don't need their fucking food anymore now that I have hormones!

And The Military!

In other national security areas, what do all the phony patriots & closet cases squealing like little girls about their testosterone & masculine manliness have to say about the reality away from their silly fairy stories?

New York Times:
Hegseth's Purge of Top Generals Leaves the Army Rudderless … A series of firings and feuds initiated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has left the Army essentially rudderless as it struggles to deal with the threat posed by cheap, deadly drones and missiles that have pounded U.S. bases in the Middle East.

NBC News:
Iran inflicted billions in damage to U.S. intelligence sites, sources say  —  The attacks on buildings and surveillance equipment in the Middle East caused unprecedented damage for the CIA and other U.S. spy agencies.  —  WASHINGTON — Iranian missile and drone attacks have inflicted damage …

How much did Russia & China have to pay to get these billions in damage done for them? Or was all they had to do help Fat Don get elected?

Note well that two of these three items may be behind a paywall. So much for the First Amendment, & yet another excellent reason to start the killing now, wouldn't you say?

Bi-Polar

Constantly shuttling between the absolute blue-hot rage that fuels my righteous & well-justified desire to torture & kill all my enemies (It's a long list. Just about everyone I've ever known, met, or heard of is on it.) & complete exhaustion & enervation that so saps my strength I can't remain upright & must lie down, in a fitful state between sleep & consciousness. (One of these days I won't be exhausted when I get up; the rage & energy will continue unabated & you'll all be in trouble.)

Thank you all again for all the support & concern that I've never heard from anyone, ever. Now I know who were never my friends. Only some little prick who likes to call the police on people. Little bastard apologized to me the first time he squealed, when nothing happened; last yr. I was imprisoned for a wk. & yet not a peep so far. Been almost a yr. & a half, jerkwad. (Revenge is a dish best served cold.)

But I'm the one w/ the "problem", not a heartless society of uncaring pigs!! No, yours is a perfect world of greed, corruption, bullshit, denial, perversion, degeneracy & Republicanism. And, of course, squealing rat informers.

Now tell me this is the best of all possible worlds, you deluded idiots!

This Should End Well

This improves my mood considerably. Stick it!Too many fat oinking pigs costume-playing w/ too much bullshit "tactical" gear for the usual shitty made-by-idiot-Americans work. Check the load limit next time, you fucking fascist incompetents.

Here It Comes Again!!

Catch It If You Can!!

COVID is ‘growing’ in nearly every state, CDC reports. Here’s where levels are highest

The West & The South, if you care. P.S.:

The CDC also tracks levels of two other respiratory viruses, influenza and RSV. Both are showing up less frequently in wastewater than COVID-19 is.

Can't wait for Brainworm Bobby to ban the newest vaccine & make masking illegal. And can't wait for another million or so American sheep to die. Maybe they can really jack up the numbers this go-round.

Jack Crosbie / Rolling Stone:
How Trump's War on the Left Will Come for the Center  —  The far-left activists catching charges set a dangerous precedent for mainstream liberals  —  By and large, when my parents go to a protest, I don't worry about them.  Over the past few years, they've attended several of the large No Kings demonstrations in Fresno, California.

Norman J. Ornstein / New Republic:
The Republicans Are Going to Kill People—but Not Until After They Vote  —  One of Ronald Reagan's most famous lines, referring to disarray in his White House, was, “Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the far-right hand is doing.”  More appropriately for the Trump White House: “Sometimes the far-right hand doesn’t know what the radical lunatic right-wing hand is doing.”

In the Big Beautiful Bill, the GOP put off Medicaid cuts until after midterms. America is about to find out why.

Hix in Stix to get exactly what they voted for, good & hard!NB: Rolling Stone's website sucks hard. Fuck them & their pathetic incompetence.
