TRUMP’S BASE SPLIT ON THE ISSUE OF UKRAINE
Isn’t it about time we quit giving a fuck about Trump’s base?
One-third of them believe that lizard people from outer space are disguised as humans and infiltrating our government, and that Hillary Clinton is running a pedophile ring for child eating cannibals. Over half of them can’t spell Ukraine or find it on a map.
Seventy-five percent of
them believe that Trump won the election and Biden is a usurper. And their IQ is such that they look up to Marjorie
Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert and Sarah Palin, seeing them as Presidential
material.
Add to this:
white supremacist, neo-Nazis, militia anarchist and fundamentalist Christians
dreaming of establishing a Christian Sharia law to punish women who have an abortion.
Ninety
percent of the Republicans give the other ten-percent a bad name

base.

“Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy,
civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark
Ages and the Holocaust”
25,000 Years of Erotic Freedom
Alan Moore Abrams
I would add; Fatwas, suicide bombers, the subjugation
of women and the dehumanization of women.
We are watching the demise of Roe vs Wade strictly as a Christian political agenda.
THE ABORTION ISSUE
What we know is abortion brings about the termination of a life never
lived.
Other Terminations:
War
Police use of deadly force
Self-defense killings
Capital punishment
Euthanasia
Abortion
Contraceptive
Masturbation
Grounds for opposing Abortion:
Religious beliefs
Humanitarian
Grounds for pro-choice:
Humanitarian
Personal freedom
Freedom from religious oppression
Opposition to the subjugation of
women
Grey areas: rape, incest, age, financial responsibility, retardation,
emotional instability; physical or mentally deformed fetus, world over
population
It is next-to-impossible to have an intelligent discussion on
the subject.

Christian churches have always been obsessed with sex and the sexual
promiscuity of women all the way back to Eve.
The abortion issue is basically a Christian Taliban’s obsession with the
sexuality of women and the wish to legislatively control the sexual activity and sexual
reproduction of women. The Catholic
church and the Protestant fundamentalist churches wish to legislate Christian
doctrine. Laws have been proposed to
jail women who receive abortions, and the proposed Texas law would allow
vigilante action against women, abortion providers and supporters of women’s
rights.

My wife and I are trying to add more vegetables to our diet, but salads can be boring. Along with creatively varying the vegetables, fruits, cheeses and meats, a variety of salad dressings can keep salads interesting.
However,
using commercial salad dressings that are full of salt, preservatives and ingrediency
you can’t pronounce defeat the purpose of eating healthy.
After
searching salad dressings on YouTube, I have come up with 18 homemade salad
dressings I intend to try. These recipes
I have modified to some extent. My wife and I do not eat salt as we get more
than enough in processed and canned foods; so, salt has been omitted.
Tahini can be purchased in health food stores or in most supermarkets. I suggest you watch a YouTube video on how it is mixed. We don't use the mason jar method to mix, we nix ours with a whisk, adding water to the desired consistency.

I abbreviate
mayonnaise as mayo. All garlic cloves are
minced through a garlic press. We use
only apple cider vinegar, and on the balsamic recipe if you use a good aged balsamic,
which is expensive, the honey may not be necessary.

I have not tried all the recipes yet, but I plan to, and will modify them to taste through trial and error.
I copied the recipes to this post in a Table format, but blogger broke it up as lines. I was hoping to post it in a way that could be conveniently copied.

All the minutia
that comes to mind seems so trivial compared to the reality of the Russian
invasion of Ukraine.
I can’t
bring myself to post on DIY, gardening, recipes, or any of the other bullshit
that occupies my thoughts at four-in-the-morning.
However, I
will add one more blow to the dead horse – I have posted it time and time again. It is
my CASSANDRA WARNING.
Sometimes it is the things you can not see
that are the most dangerous: the crocodile in the water, the cobra in the grass,
the lion in the bushes; the narcissistic, paranoid old man, experiencing senile
dementia, with the sole authority and ability to execute world extinction with
the turn of a key and push of a button.
The two
super powers, Russia and the United States, each have the nuclear capability of
killing every living creature on the planet earth – many times over.
The only safeguard
has been the thought that the single person in charge of the nuclear capability
of world destruction would be sane and responsible.
Look at the
human race. Consider Trump, Putin,
religious extremist, or even some junior military computer nerd standing watch
in a nuclear silo and realizing he can override the fail-safes
We have seen
the result of two nuclear bombs, and the melt down at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power
Plant; now multiply those times a thousand.
It is not
climate change, or plagues, or asteroids that will be the cause of the Sixth
Extinction. It is mankind and nuclear weaponry.
Old man

92% of the Republican Party make the other 2% look bad.
Cribbed from
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance – buzzard modified.
35% of the
country that are Trump loyalist actually support Russia in the invasion of
Ukraine When we say 35% of the country,
that translates to 70% of the Republican Party; and unfortunately, that majority
holds sway over the rest of the party.
When a
person suffers from delusions it is called insanity. When many people suffer from delusions, we
can call it the Republican Party.
Again,
cribbed from Zen and the Art…. O'B modified
I don’t understand this country we now live in. The flag of the United States once stood for democracy and valor.
Now it stands for anarchy, and is flown by traitors
who attempted a coup against the nation the flag once stood for.
This is a
proud flag and a proud people. I salute
this flag.
