Happy Eclipse Day/Rapture Day

“A total solar eclipse is taking place on Monday, April 8, 2024, visible across North America and dubbed the Great North American Eclipse by some media. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.”

Wikipedia

For the vast majority of Americans there is nothing mysterious or apocalyptic about today’s total solar eclipse. It’s Science 101, and the lucky souls who live on the path of totality plan on celebrating this celestial event by donning cool eclipse glasses and downing a beer or two, or three.

Contrary to common belief, solar eclipses aren’t rare sightings. According to NASA there has been an average of 2.5 eclipses every year for the past 1,000 years.

But for many evangelical Christians the solar eclipse is a major eschatological event, and they expect Jesus Christ to rapture them out of this world during the four minutes of darkness. I’m not surprised at the gullibility and stupidity of evangelicals; they birth a new conspiracy theory every time they have a bowel movement.

While we are looking at the sun, with our protective glasses, evangelicals are looking for the Son of God to emerge from the eclipse. I won’t go into the details of why they believe Jesus will return during the eclipse, because it would make your head spin, if it doesn’t outright explode.

I don’t believe anything that’s not based on science, but wouldn’t it be great if Jesus did return today and raptured the racist, idiotic and hateful and Trump-loving evangelicals out of this world?

If Biden Debates Trump He Will Lose the Debate and the Election

Donald Trump is a boxing fan, and he usually has a ringside seat at major boxing events. Even though Trump weighs almost 300 pounds, never exercises, wears diapers instead of boxing trunks, and has tiny doll hands, he views himself as a pugilist. Trump styles himself as a counterpuncher, but actually he’s more of a down-puncher. He strikes out at subordinates and people who he deems incapable of punching back.

The orange pig will never enter a boxing ring, but the next best thing for him is the debate stage. Trump is dying to debate the physically frail and cognitively challenged Joe Biden.

Last month, the combatative politician used his Truth Social platform to dare Biden to step onto the debate stage with him, declaring that he’s prepared to debate the Democratic incumbent “ANYTIME, ANYWHRE, ANYPLACE.” The former president expressed a desire to see ten debates, rather than the usual three general election debates.

Even though Trump is just as senile as Biden he would demolish, destroy and disembowel the octogenarian president. At the first verbal jab Biden’s dentures would go flying out, he would lose his train of thought and maybe control of his bowels as well.

There is no way that Biden can compete against an adversary who breaks all the rules, talks over his opponents and lands more low blows than legitimate punches.

If Biden is foolish enough to debate Trump, he will lose the debate and the election.

Happy Easter and Transgender Day of Visibility

President Joe Biden is facing withering criticism from Donald Trump and his evangelical enablers for proclaiming March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

This is faux outrage is exceedingly disingenuous for evangelicals are well aware that “Transgender Day of Visibility” is an annual event that is always celebrated on March 31.

Biden is a devout Catholic who always makes a public display of observing Easter and Christmas, he would be loath to do anything that would diminish any Christian holiday.

I don’t consider religiosity a virtue, and a president shouldn’t observe, commemorate, publicly celebrate or even acknowledge any religious holiday. The separation between church and state is sacrosanct, and I find it deeply offensive whenever any politician tries to curry favor with the electorate by invoking the name of God.

America is a secular democracy, and on March 31, 2024 we are free to celebrate Easter, Transgender Day of Visibility, or the pagan springtime goddess Eostre. Or maybe you are like most Americans who simply consider today just another weekend to eat a chocolate egg, relax and have a good time before we return to work.

Trump Threatens Biden with Image of President Hog-tied on Pickup Truck

As a dog returns to his own vomit, and a pig wallows in the mire after having been washed, Donald Trump returns to the cesspool of violent imagery whenever he feels a need to rile up his base.

And with President Joe Biden seeing a rise in his polls following his State of the Union speech, a desperate Trump posted a video on his Truth Social platform depicting Biden hog-tied on the bed of a pickup truck festooned with Trump 2024 insignia.

The twice-impeached and four times indicted sociopath regularly incites political violence, and it can have real world consequences, or have we already forgotten the failed insurrection of January 6, 2021? Therefore, it’s incumbent upon reporters and bloggers to put Trump on blast every time he resorts to violent rhetoric.

This latest disturbing image was calculated to appeal to the orange messiah’s redneck base, after all only his cultists read the garbage that he posts on his social media platform.

The offensive post didn’t depict a businessman in a Toyota Prius running over Biden, it showed Biden hog-tied in the tailgate of a pickup truck. I’m sure there are multitudes of MAGA fanatics who fantasize about having Biden hogtied in the back of their Ford 150 truck.

This vile Trump post may push one of his disciples over the edge. Enough is enough! I call on responsible Republican pundits and GOP leaders to denounce Trump’s violent imagery.

Trump Hawks ‘God Bless the USA Bibles’

“The former president took to Truth Social Tuesday to urge his supporters to buy the God Bless the USA Bible — a $59.99 Bible inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood’s song.

‘Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,’ Trump posted, linking to a website featuring the books.”

Politico

In 2019 Donald Trump, the antichrist personified, autographed Bibles during a tour of tornado-devastated communities in Alabama. If the narcissist defiled Bibles by signing them with his Sharpie, I wouldn’t be surprised if he hired Russian hookers to urinate on them, and then sell them to his evangelical supporters as “the Golden Showers edition of God’s Word.”

Everything Trump touches turns to shit, but to his disciples he’s King Midas, and they believe everything he touches is worth its weight in gold.

I believe the “God Bless the USA Bible” will sell out, Trump’s followers equate patriotism with Christianity, and they will buy the cursed Bibles knowing it will fill their messiah’s coffers.

“God bless the USA Bible”? I would feel more comfortable buying a “God damn the USA Bible”, especially now as evangelicals cite the scriptures as a justification to support Israel’s genocidal war against Palestine.

Trump Doesn’t Deserve a Second Term, He Deserves a Life Term Behind Bars

When reality star and pompous businessman Donald Trump descended the golden escalator in his garish Fifth Avenue building to the perfunctory applause of curious onlookers and paid actors, he opened his trap and toxic racist rhetoric emanated from his sphincter-shaped orifice.

Who can forget his infamous remarks in which he labeled Mexican migrants rapists, criminals and drug dealers. Trump is a master at projection, and he projected his fraudulent criminal and sexual predatory behavior on the hardworking Mexican undocumented workers in search of the American Dream.

Needless to say, immigrants are model citizens, they are loathe to break any laws of their new home country, lest it hinders them from obtaining a green card, and one day citizenship.

Sadly, when America elects its Republican and Democratic presidential nominees, all too often they don’t select the best candidates. Witness the physically frail and senile Democratic nominee, Joe Biden and the morbidly obese and senile racist, Donald Trump.

Mexican immigrants aren’t the criminals, the twice-impeached and four times indicted Trump who is facing 91 criminal charges is one of the most notorious criminals to ever seek a political office.

Hispanic immigrants aren’t the rapists, it’s Trump, the serial sexual predator, who was found guilty of rape in a civil trial.

Brown and black immigrants aren’t the ones who have a problem with drugs, it was Trump’s White House that was awash in uppers, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications. That should come as no surprise to anyone, how else could aides and staffers survive working in such a chaotic and corrupt administration?

Trump doesn’t deserve a second term; he deserves a life term behind bars.

F Donald Trump

Evangelicals’ public rhetoric and private conversation has always been hateful and dismissive of religious and racial minorities, liberals and towards anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their Medieval religious beliefs.

Pre-Trump they never allowed their odious speech to degenerate into obscenities and vulgar expression. In fact, they were so averse to profanities that they were always quick to demand that a “parental advisor warning” be slapped on any album with explicit content or even just a few curse words.

But since they adopted Donald Trump, the stinking pile of human shit, as their new messiah, they praise God for every obscenity that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth and they no longer think it’s a sin to sprinkle their conversation with four-letter words. Evangelicals find it almost impossible not to use cuss words when demonizing racial minorities, immigrants and the LGBT community.

Well, I find it impossible not to use dirty words when talking about the dirtiest mother fucker who ever entered the realm of politics, Donald Trump.

Fuck Donald Trump, fuck every church that supports him, and fuck white evangelicals who sacrilegiously worship the trick-ass, mother-fucken wanker.

The D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA is Wonderful

I started posting editorials for the online edition of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in 1998, and when my essays were cited by established print publications like the New York Times and the Associated Press, I presciently told me friends that in the near future newspapers would be obsolete.

Almost three decades later and newspapers may not be obsolete, but they have seen a drastic drop in circulation, and many only have an online presence.

Twenty-eight years later I’m no longer a big fish in a small pond, I’m just a minnow in an ocean of bloggers, podcasters, influencers and vloggers, and my online essays receive virtually no attention from the mainstream media.

Sometimes I submit letters to the editor to local newspapers, and recently in a letter that was published by the Bedford Bulletin I mentioned that I have lived in Lynchburg for 24 years and never visited the D-Day Memorial.

Bill a retired gentleman who volunteers as a tour guide and is also part of the maintenance crew, read my letter and sent me an email offering to give me a tour of the D-Day Memorial. His friend Reggie drove me to Bedford and back to Lynchburg.

Bill has an encyclopedic knowledge of World War II in general and D-Day in particular. In my 66 years I’ve taken many tours of museums, memorials and other attractions, and no tour guide has ever impressed me as much with his knowledge of the attraction, respect for the visitors and love for his job. We were joined in the golf cart tour by his friends and fellow volunteers, Steve and Reggie.

Thank God for community newspapers like the Bedford bulletin that are still publishing print editions, and thank God for salt of the earth gentleman like Bill, Steve and Reggie.

Lauren Boebert: ‘God Only Cares About Faith’

Rep. Lauren Boebert is the far-right evangelical darling whose stock-in-trade is peddling wild conspiracy theories, babbling about the Biden crime family and brandishing assault rifles.

Evangelicals are very tolerant of the moral and criminal failings of Republican politicians as long as they adhere to their anti-abortion, anti-LGBT and anti-immigrant agenda.

However, since September, 2023 when Boebert was captured on video vaping, uttering obscenities and groping her date’s penis during a performance of the family-friendly Beetlejuice, she has felt a need to burnish her evangelical credentials.

To that end, the woman of God who flipped the bird as she was being escorted out of the Beetlejuice musical performance, gave a Bible study lesson on the Nazi-friendly Rumble network:

“We know nothing pleases God except faith. It’s not our works that please him”, the biblically illiterate bimbo had the audacity to proclaim. Of course, anybody who has a basic understanding of the New Testament knows that good works spring from faith, and that without works faith is dead. In other words, it’s not OK for Boebert to give her date a hand-job in public because she has faith in Jesus.

Bitch please! Stick to musing about how Hunter Biden’s dick pics on his Laptop from Hell somehow leads to the conclusion that Joe Biden must be impeached.

Trump vs Biden? Just Shoot Me!

It’s not even spring and the world’s greatest democracy has now chosen the presidential nominees for the two major parties: Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.

The GOP and the Democratic Party have a stranglehold on the presidential selection process, and there’s zero chance that a Third-Party candidate will emerge to seriously compete against these despicable and senile candidates.

This tragic state of American politics can best be demonstrated in a metaphor:

Imagine that both parties are holding political events in Las Vegas at the same time, and naturally all the brothels are doing thriving business. You walk into a cathouse, and the Madam tells you that only two past their prime working girls are available:

Sleepy Joanna: she has a second job doing grannie porn videos in order to make ends meet. She’s emaciated and you fear she may have a heart attack doing the dirty deed, and you wonder about your legal liability. It’s likely that she will forget your name, and blurt out the wrong name when she pretends to climax.

Dorky Donna: she has a second job doing BBW porn in order to pay the bills. She’s fat as a pig and you fear that she may suffer a stroke while you’re knocking boots. You’re certain that the narcissist cow will scream her own name when she comes, and who wants to put up with that shit? 

The madam of the house of ill repute is waiting for you to make your decision, and you finally decide that you’d rather put your privates through a meat grinder than have sex with either of those sorry prostitutes.

Who am I voting for: The senile Biden is better than the senile human excrement Trump, but maybe I should just kill myself.

Bedford, VA Needs an Amtrak Train Station

I’m a senior citizen who rarely drives: the stress of rush hour traffic, the irritation of traffic scofflaws, and the anxiety of skyrocketing gas prices means that my car rarely leaves my driveway.

I’m even more in dread of traveling by air: the humiliation of being groped by TSA Agents, the fear of terrorism, and the boorish behavior of passengers means that I only fly when there’s no other way of reaching my destination.

But I love Amtrak, I don’t have to worry about nodding off at the wheel, or being pinned between two large passengers in a cramped airplane cabin.

Trains invoke a sense of nostalgia when folks weren’t in a rush to get to their destination as quick as possible. Riding a train is a therapeutic experience, the gentle swaying of the cars lulls you to sleep as you sit in your cushy and ample seat.

I love taking the Amtrak to Washinton D.C., and I’m delighted to learn that there may soon be an Amtrak station in Bedford. I’ve lived in Lynchburg for 23 years but I’ve never been to the D Day Memorial, but as soon as Amtrak comes to Bedford, I will purchase my train ticket.

I hope Bedford secure the funding for the Amtrak train station.

When Racist Trump Mistakes Obama for Biden, You Know He’s Senile

I support Joe Biden, 81, over Donald Trump, 77; the Democrat presidential candidate who resembles Mr. Magoo is preferrable over the Republican presidential candidate who resembles a Joe Stalin or an Adolph Hitler.

I will stipulate that President Joe Biden is suffering from severe cognitive issues, the octogenarian has suffered more mental lapses than Carter has little pills.

I will also stipulate that Trump is a blatant racist, he has dog whistled more times in the last eight years than a typical NBA referee has blown whistles during a season.

Even most Democrats will concede that Biden is senile AF, but Republicans are loathe to admit that Trump is senile as all get out.

How senile is Trump? He is so senile that the raging racist has repeatedly mistaken Barak Obama for Joe Biden. During a recent campaign speech in Richmond, VA he said this:

“Shortly after we win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. I know them both very well, and we will restore peace through strength. Get that war settled. It’s a bad war. And Putin has so little respect for Obama that he’s starting to throw around the nuclear word.”

Trump hates Obama simply because he’s black, and when the unrepentant racist mistakes a black former president for the current white president, you know he belongs in a rest home.

Sickening Spectacle: Franklin Graham Embraces Trump at the Border

Part time evangelist and full time Donald Trump fluffer Franklin Graham posted a pic of himself embracing Trump with the caption: “Look who I ran into at the border today! Donald Trump was a great encouragement to many here.”

Franklin is being disingenuous; he didn’t just happen to “run into Trump” at the border. The former president is protected by a phalanx of Secret Service Agents and nobody meets him without making prior arrangements.

Franklin is visiting border towns because it’s an election year, and he wants to amplify Trump’s anti-immigrant message.

The televangelist is preaching a false message by declaring that “Trump was a great encouragement to many here.” Trump’s hateful rhetoric may have been encouraging to his supporters who came to hear his speech, but it was anathema to the predominately Hispanic community of Eagle Pass.

Instead of embracing the blatant racist at the border, he should have been there to welcome migrants who just crossed the border. There are dozens of pro-immigration Biblical verses, including Leviticus 19:34:

 “The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”

If Jesus returned to Earth, he would deport Franklin and Trump to Mexico, or maybe he would send them directly to hell, and he would welcome all the migrants with open and loving arms.

Biden’s Annual Exam Must Include Cognitive Tests for Dementia

“President Joe Biden spent about 2 1/2 hours at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday for an annual physical that will be closely watched as the 81-year-old president seeks reelection.”

Associated Press

I have zero faith that the White House will release an accurate and truthful assessment of Joe Biden’s health. After all, after his last exam in February 2023, his physicians declared Biden “healthy, vigorous and fit to handle his White House duties.” This glowing assessment was in spite of Biden’s stiff gait and sluggish pace that’s indicative of a dead man walking, his days are clearly numbered.

Biden doesn’t have to put on a costume for Halloween, with his wispy white hair, prune face and bewildered expression he looks like Mr. Magoo’s ghost.

Biden’s annual exam must include cognitive tests for dementia, and the results must be released to the public. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to ascertain that Biden is senile AF. Anyone who has seen Biden stumble down stairs, lose his train of thought, wander around incircles searching for the exit from the stage, will deduce that he is senile.

If Biden’s cognitive abilities are tested and the results are released to the public, he wouldn’t dare perpetrate the fraud of running for reelection.

Trump Struggles to Pronounce ‘Evangelical’

Joe Biden is in obvious physical and mental decline; he’s like an octogenarian who wandered out of the house in the middle of the night and has no idea how to get back home.

Donald Trump is as senile and demented as Biden but because he’s physically robust, voters don’t consider him as far gone as the current resident of the White House.

One of the ways in which Trump’s senility manifests itself is in his incoherent screeds that barely resemble stump speeches. His diatribes are riddled with obscenities and malapropisms, he mangles the King’s English like a Norwegian on crack.

I give him a pass when he mispronounces or mangles the name of a head of state, but only a senile old man with cognitive issues would stumble over the word “evangelical.”

In a recent speech to the National Religious Broadcasters in Nashville, Trump struggled to say “evangelical” and “evangelist.” It’s been reported that Trump refers to evangelicals in profane terms in private; I give him credit for not slipping and calling them ignorant shitheads in his speech.

What a marvelous democracy we have, we will be only slightly better off if Biden stumbles to the finish line ahead of Trump.

Rep. Bob Good Booted from Trump Store

Virginia’s 5th congressional district congressman Bob Good has sterling conservative credentials, after all he’s slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun and he’s the head of the far-right House Freedom Caucus.

Under normal circumstances such conservative bona fides are enough to discourage any Republican from challenging him in the primary. But Good endorsed Ron DeSantis in the 2004 Republican presidential primary, and he endorsed Donald Trump only after the Florida governor dropped out of the race.

In the MAGA cult that’s the unpardonable sin, and regardless how conservative Good may be, Trump supporters will never forgive him for not endorsing their orange messiah from the start.

Good’s heresy in endorsing DeSantis emboldened VA Del. John McGuire to run against him in the GOP primary, and now Good is running scared. So scared in fact that he made the embarrassing rookie mistake of inviting his supporters to attend the grand opening of a Trump store in Farmville, a McGuire campaign event.

Good joined his supporters in crashing McGuire’s party, and the store’s owner was incensed by the interloper’s sacrilegious action and she was caught on tape angrily asking him to leave.

A Trump store is akin to a place of worship, and the orange buffoon’s supporters will never forgive Good for defiling their temple with his audacious stunt.

I’m a progressive and both Good and McGuire are anathema to me, but Good is substantially more of a rightwing nut, and I hope that he loses his primary.  

Would You Buy a Pair of $399 Trump Sneakers?

“At a sneaker conference in Philadelphia over the weekend, former president Donald Trump unveiled his latest pitch — and it wasn’t a stump speech.

The businessman-turned-politician debuted a new line of gleaming, golden sneakers called Never Surrender High-Tops, which sell online for $399 a pair.”

NPR

The sneakerheads subculture is primarily a black thang. The phenomenon has its roots in the NBA and hip-hop culture.

Sneakerheads don’t typically wear their Jordans or Yeezys worth hundreds or thousands of bucks, to preserve their resale value. But on occasion they will don even their most expensive pair of sneakers, and you are likely to end up dead if you accidentally step on them.

You might expect a DJ Khaled, who reportedly has 10,000 pairs of sneakers in his collection, or a Chris Paul or a Lebron James at a Sneaker Con convention peddling their newest line of sneakers.

The last celebrity I expected to see hawking sneakers at a Sneaker Con convention was the noted racist Donald Trump who has nothing but disdain for black culture.

Maybe an Uncle Tom the likes of Sen. Tim Scott might buy a pair of Trump golden sneakers to please his master, but the average guy in the hood wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of Trump sneakers.

And I can’t see the average MAGA head buying a pair of $399 Trump sneakers even if they feature an American flag on the back and a capital T for Trump on the side.

Trump sneakers are destined to be just another failed Trump-branded product, like Trump steak and Trump bottled water.

Trump Once Again Beefing with Adam Schiff

Since the birth of hip-hop, beefs have been a part of the culture, and no rapper worth his salt will refrain from dissing his rivals on record on social media or in interviews.

Donald Trump has more beefs with celebrities, reporters and politicians than anyone in the political or hip-hop realms.

Since Trump never forgives and never forgets his beefs never end, any simmering beef with a longtime adversary can come to a boil for any perceived insult.

The war between Adam (Pencil Neck) Schiff and Donald (Grifter) Trump is once again in full blast.   

Schiff earned Trump’s lifetime enmity by leading the House’s 2020 impeachment, arguing that Trump had solicited foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election, and then obstructed the inquiry itself by ordering his aides to ignore subpoenas for documents and testimony.

Trump challenged Schiff’s allegations with his trademark intelligence, nuanced arguments and eloquence. Just kidding. Trump fought back by calling Schiff a fraud, a pencil neck and a slimeball. And as Trump is wont to do, he christened Schiff with a new moniker, “Shifty Shiff.”

Now that Schiff is running for the Senate in California, Trump is once again taunting him with his juvenile insults. In a recent post on his Truth Social media platform, Trump claimed that Schiff is one of the true lowlifes in the history of politics in America.”

Trump is the one who is the most corrupt, ignorant and venial lowlife in the history of politics in America. It’s in Schiff’s interests to simply ignore Trump’s childish social media posts. He doesn’t need to beef with Trump to fire up his campaign.

War Crime: IDF Kills Dozens of Palestinian Civilians as Cover to Rescue Two Israeli Hostages

The Israeli indiscriminate and saturation bombing of Gaza has taken a heavy toll on civilians, especially women and children, with more than 12,300 Palestinian children killed in the conflict, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

The horrible fact that women and children, not Hamas terrorists, are the main victims of Israel’s unrelenting assault on Gaza, was brought into sharp focus in the aerial bombardment that was used as a cover for Israeli special forces to extract two Israeli hostages from an apartment in Rafah. At least 74 Palestinians were killed in the bombardment, most of these victims were internally displaced residents who had already been forced to relocate several times, and who had sought refuge in Rafah, the last “safe” place in Gaza.

The IDF didn’t bomb military infrastructure as a cover for the hostage rescue, they seemingly selected random targets. A handful of Hamas terrorists and almost a hundred civilians, mostly women and children were killed in order to rescue two elderly hostages.

This hostage rescue at the price of the murder of dozens of civilians was hailed as “one of the greatest rescues in Israeli history” by far-right Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

American evangelicals were equally ebullient in celebrating the rescue of the two Israeli hostages. “Outstanding news that Israel rescued two hostages from Hamas terrorists,” prominent evangelical and former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gushed on 𝕏, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

Israeli Zionists and American evangelicals think that the death of dozens of innocent Palestinians is a small price to pay for the rescue of two Israeli hostages. After all, they no doubt reason, Jehovah and Jesus don’t shed any tears over the murder of Muslim civilians.

Joe Biden Belongs in a Nursing Home or a Hospice, not in the White House

At an impromptu news conference aimed at defending the octogenarian president’s cognitive abilities from his legion of detractors, Joe Biden inexplicably referred to Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi as the “president of Mexico.”

Actually, it’ not inexplicable at all, it’s not surprising that a cognitively-impaired and feeble old man who can’t tell his anus from a gopher hole got his wires crossed, for the umpteenth time.  

The gaffe occurred only hours after the release of the special counsel’s report into Biden’s handling of classified documents which concluded that he willfully retained classified information, including top secret documents, but that he didn’t charge him with any crimes, because no jury would convict a doddering old Mr. Magoo-like character.

Islamic Egypt and Roman Catholic Mexico may be separated by thousands of miles of ocean and desert, but what the hey, they both have world-famous pyramids and maybe we should cut Biden some slack? Should we just look the other way every time he falls down stairs, can’t find his way down a stage or utter a mind-boggling gaffe?

Absolutely, not! Joe Biden isn’t the president of the Bingo Club at a nursing home, he’s the president of the United States and Leader of the Free World, and he has no business running for reelection.

Joe Biden belongs in a nursing home or a hospice, not in the White House.

Special Counsel: No Charges for Biden Over Classified Documents (Too Senile to be Charged)

“A US Department of Justice report on Thursday cast Joe Biden as a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ in a damaging portrayal of the president even as he was spared from criminal charges following a months-long probe.

Financial Times

Special Counsel Robert Hur oversaw the DOJ’s investigation into Joe Biden’s handling (mishandling) of classified materials found at his private residences and offices and famously in a box behind his classic Corvette.

After a months-long investigation, he concluded that Biden, 81, had “willfully retained and disclosed” sensitive documents but he did not file criminal charges as a result.

Why was Biden spared from criminal charges when the special counsel concluded that he had willfully retained and shared the sensitive material with his ghostwriter, among other individuals?

Hur perceived Biden as a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ who would be viewed sympathetically by a jury. Basically, he’s saying that a jury would feel sorry for him and not convict him even if he showed up for his trial with classified materials shoved up his ass. The jury would correctly deduce that Biden doesn’t know his rectum from a locked file cabinet and they would find him not guilty of all charges. I guess a friendly elderly man who is as brain-addled as Mr. Magoo can get away with murder. (As long as he isn’t black or brown.)

Biden may be breathing a sigh of relief, but most Americans are terrified that a hopelessly senile old man will probably be reelected. Biden has no business getting behind the wheel of a Corvette and he has no business running for reelection.

Senile Joe Biden Should Step Aside for Gavin Newsom

According to actuarial tables, the statistical tools used by insurance companies, government agencies and corporations to predict the life expectancy of a potential employee or policy holder, Joe Biden has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, and one finger stuck up his ass, and the other one picking his nose.

But ordinary people don’t have to take into account expectancy tables or mortality tables to discern that Biden is senile old codger who will die well before he completes a second term if he’s reelected.

Donald Trump is still physically robust but he’s almost as senile as Biden. However, he has the presence of mind to realize that Biden is so physically frail and cognitively challenged that he may be forced to drop out of the race.

That’s why in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo he eviscerated California governor Gavin Newsom who is running a shadow campaign for president. Trump blamed Newsome for almost every problem the Golden State is facing.

“His state is doing horribly. You look at the homeless problem. You look at the people that are leaving. You have companies that are leaving. They’re all leaving for other locations. I think Gavin’s easy because California is a disaster.” Finally, he said Newsome was “bullshit.”

Newsome with his relative youth and good looks is a presidential candidate straight out of central casting, and he would defeat Trump in a landslide.

Biden is a good man but it’s bullshit that he’s running for president, he needs to drop out immediately. Trump is a horrible person, and it’s bullshit that the senile sociopath is the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Black Evangelicals Need to Reclaim Their Faith from White Evangelicals

When you hear a news reporter mention evangelical Christians what image comes to mind? A middle-aged white person wearing a MAGA hat, waving a Bible in one hand and brandishing a Trump flag in the other? The operative word being “white”, whether they’re suburban parishioners worshipping in a megachurch, or trailer park denizens attending a revival in a big tent, we think of evangelicals as white.

The white evangelical movement in America is a heretical strain of Protestant Christianity that has corrupted Christianity and infected the Republican Party. White Christian nationalists and other strains of the evangelical faith have taken control of the GOP, the Bible is their political platform and Donald Trump is their messiah. Their orange messiah has embraced their Gospel of xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and misogyny.

The constant linking of Whiteness with evangelical Christianity, obscures the fact that there are millions of black, brown and Asian evangelicals in America.

Black evangelicals are as theologically conservative and socially conservative as their white counterparts, but black evangelicals aren’t enthralled with the sociopath and amoral Trump. They tend to vote Democratic, and they don’t believe in the heresy of Christian nationalism.

Sadly, homophobia is one sin that black evangelicals share with white evangelicals, hopefully they will come to despise homophobia as much as they despise racism.

Black, brown and Asian evangelicals, the vast majority of whom don’t share the far-right and extremist views of white evangelicals, need to reclaim the evangelical faith from heretical white evangelicals. They can start by being as vociferous preaching unity, love and the brotherhood of man as white evangelicals are in preaching racism and hatred.

White Evangelicals are Clownish Cultists, But We Must Take Them Seriously

White evangelicals are an aberration, they don’t quite fit the national zeitgeist. It’s easy to dismiss them as uneducated and brainwashed cultists who engage in groupthink, mindlessly obeying their pastors and especially their orange messiah.

It’s natural to mock and ridicule Trump’s evangelical regiment, after all they speak in tongues, believe in divine healing and demonic possession, are waiting for Jesus to Rapture them out of this world, and they have sworn allegiance to their orange idol.  

But we dismiss them at our own peril, they are dangerous precisely because they are a monolith voting bloc, who are convinced they are in a spiritual warfare with Biden and his host of godless liberals.

Trump may be a senile buffoon and his MAGA base may be idiots, but we must take them seriously. Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 and he may win his rematch with Joe Biden in 2024, if Democrats don’t mobilize and energize their base to defeat Trump once and for all.

If Biden doesn’t win the general election in 2024, Trump will do his best to turn our democracy into a white nationalist Christian theocracy, and public school teachers will be warning our children to prepare for the Rapture and to report any of their classmates who show signs of demon possession.

Snoop Dogg Says He ‘Has Nothing but Love for Trump’ Say What?

Rappers have a penchant for flashing Benjamins, wearing sharp clothing, glorifying violence, demeaning women as “bitches and ho’s”, and beefing with each other. Beef is a verbal conflict between rappers, most commonly manifested in rap songs degrading and demeaning one other.

There have been some epic rap beefs; Nas vs Jay-Z, Tupac Shakur vs. The Notorious B.I.G., and more recently Nikki Minaj vs. Megan thee Stallion.

Snoop Dogg has had some epic beefs, who can forget his rap battles with Eminem? But Snoop’s most infamous beef wasn’t with a fellow rapper, but with former president Donald Trump. For example, in a 2020 interview Snoop has this to say: “I ain’t never voted a day in my life, but this year I think I’m going to get out and vote because I can’t stand to see this punk in office one more year.” Snoop has shouted “Fuck Trump” as often as he has said, “pass me the blunt.”

Snoop has done a complete turnaround on Trump. In an interview with The Sunday Times published Sunday he said:

“Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.”

Say what? Phony reason for Snoop to all of a sudden start lavishing praise on the twice-impeached, four-times indicted steaming pile of human excrement, after all, it was years ago that Trump pardoned Harris.

Say it ain’t so Snoop! Please tell us that you are punking us once again, just like you did when you tweeted that you had given up smoking and it turned out that your tweet was a marketing ploy for a smokeless fire pit.

I hope you are still hatin’ on Trump, just like you are still smoking fat ass blunts.
