Many have capitulated rather … Continue reading LACK OF DIVERSITY

FAILING GRADE

Trump vs. Education by Rich Paschall It should have come as no surprise. Last year, we mentioned in "2025 or 1984" that the Heritage Foundation's "Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership" called for the elimination of the Department of Education. Candidate Trump disavowed any knowledge of the 922-page document, but President Trump has added 31 contributors … Continue reading FAILING GRADE

DESTROYING AMERICA

And They Cheer Him On, by Rich Paschall Just as he has done with many of his businesses, Trump has taken America down the road to ruin, and it was not paved with good intentions.

KEEP CALM AND STAY HOME – RICH PASCHALL

A Leader Addresses The Nation, by Rich Paschall It is not often that Queen Elizabeth II makes an official address to the United Kingdom. If you do not count her annual Christmas message, which is nothing more than a Season's Greeting, she has not taken to the airwaves for an official speech to the nation … Continue reading KEEP CALM AND STAY HOME – RICH PASCHALL

ARE THE ANTICHRISTS RULING OUR WORLD? – Marilyn Armstrong

In the course of visiting Tom and Ellin, Tom and I decided one night that Donald Trump is the antichrist. Now since neither of us is religious or even tangentially Christian, this might be considered a rather odd conclusion for two effective atheists to reach. But the thing is, if there is an antichrist, Trump … Continue reading ARE THE ANTICHRISTS RULING OUR WORLD? – Marilyn Armstrong

Tail Gunner Joe just one of many unsavory ghosts guiding Trump – Reblog from THE SHINBONE STAR

“Neither (McCarthy or Trump) has any problem throwing around unfounded accusations of treasonous disloyalty by important people engaged in conspiracies with mysterious Russians. They themselves are always immune.” It’s heartwarming to know that “the good guys” are back accusing all us “bad guys” of bad behavior. What a pity they never felt obliged to include themselves in that mix!

THE SHINBONE STAR

Joseph McCarthy covers the microphone while having a whisper with Roy Cohn.

Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy is back in the news. He is a former Wisconsin chicken farmer, an occupation he once shared in common with Nazi SS Leader Heinrich Himmler. Both were dreaded for their viciousness. McCarthy gave himself his nickname for his time in the Marine Corps in World War II, occasionally manning the twin machine guns in the back seat of a Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber.

Both men rose to the highest levels of government by destroying their perceived opponents. Himmler murdered them in secret, McCarthy pummeled them into mush during hours of Commie-baiting Senate hearings shown on grainy black & white television. People liked news raw in those days.

President Donald Trump was nicknamed “Cadet Bone Spurs” by Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), an Iraq War veteran who…
