As I grow old, way past my sell-by date, I find it harder to blog; primarily because I find my give-a-shit factor going off the scale.
As my body
parts start to wear out I become more of an observer than a participant. When you are treading water and the shark
fins are circling it is hard to be concerned about the people rowing away in
the life raft.
It is hard
to care. When I stand aside and look at
the violent history of the human race I am some disgusted.
People individually are usually decent and just trying to get by, but when people separate into packs (religions, national identities, political affiliations, racial identities, gangs, mobs, clubs, volunteer groups, etc.) they take on groupthink: people like us are the good guys.
Neil de
Grasse Tyson wrote, “The greatest factor of a working democracy is that we get
to disagree without killing each other.”
Think about
that. That is a pathetic
statement. It is our groupthink, and
especially our male nature to kill each other.
The Young Buzzard; perhaps nine or ten years old
I rest my case.
What other explanation is there when nations stockpile weapons and individuals buy powerful handguns and assault weapons - other than to prepare to kill each other?
That little insecure asshole who carries a weapon into McDonald’s is hoping for an excuse to kill someone to prove his manhood – what other possible explanation is there?
We are, after all, just an advanced breed of monkey. We can try to separate ourselves from our evolutionary tree by inventing gods in our likeness and touting our material advancements, but our true nature is just under the surface.
Really. Just look at the insanity of our national conflicts. There is no solution – this is who we are.
What point am I trying to make?
Fuck if I know.

The snail’s pace of the department of justice to hold the plotters of the January 6 attempted coup responsible was predictable.
President Obama nominated Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court because as a circuit judge Garland was unexceptional with his opinions, and Obama felt he would be the least controversial to get through a Republican Senate conformation, but Republican Senate leader McConnell refused to bring Garland up for a confirmation vote.
President Biden chose Garland for Attorney General as a gesture of loyalty to the Obama/Biden Presidency; but an uncontroversial mild mannered judge is not exactly what you want for an Attorney General.
Garland was never a prosecutor, and that should have been the gold standard for running the Department of Justice.
So for two years, after an attempt to overthrow the Government of the United States, we have been stuck with a timid Attorney General hesitant to investigate the people responsible.
Garland has been highlighted by public opinion for his inaction. He has finally been able to abdicate his responsibility by appointing a Special Prosecutor to take the heat.
I fear that that after two years any serious chance of holding Donald Trump responsible for the MAGA rebellion
against the United States of America will be too little and too late.

It is just another beautiful day in the land of the free and the home of the guns.
Democrats passed an assault weapons band, George W. Bush let it expire. Republicans prevent gun legislations. Republican law makers are responsible for American Carnage.

It is a spy

It has finally happened, aliens from a distant galaxy have transited space with interstellar balloons. This is an advanced recon team that leads the actual military balloon invasion intent on conquering earth's inhabitants.
If you look close you can identify the alien invaders.
Aliens scouts
have unknowingly been assimilating into our society. Stephen
King warned us: We all float down
here.
