Kristi Scandals – BONUS POST

[Please note: The word “Featured” on the left side above was NOT inserted by this blogger, but apparently was inserted by WordPress, and it cannot be removed. NO post in this blog is sponsored.]

As is well known, Kristi Noem is the United States Secretary of Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Here’s a little song about her.

KRISTI SCANDALS

sung to the tune of “Sixteen Candles” with apologies to The Crests, and to whomever else the rights may concern.

[Having a bad day. Having a bad day, indeed.] Oh. I hate you so.

Kristi scandals

scream, “might makes right”

all to the delight, of the xenophobic whites.

She outs her-own scandals, makes her power-plays come true.

And she’ll be fishing, for dirt on YOU. [for dirt on YOU.]

The ends-justify the means. There’ve been brutal scenes.

She’s the most-ruthless, huffy-est DHS-chief, I’ve ever seen. [I’ve ever seen.]

Kristi scandals. Deportations will grow, until deaths and lawsuits

end her reality show, end her reality show.

The ends-justify the means. But there’ve been brutal scenes.

Oh, she’s the most-ruthless, huffy-est DHS-chief, I’ve ever seen. [I’ve ever seen.]

Kristi scandals. Deportations will grow, until deaths and lawsuits

end her reality show, end her reality show.

TACO Man – BONUS POST

It might be recalled that “TACO” stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” Here’s a song about that.

TACO MAN

sung to the tune of “Rocket Man” with apologies to Elton John, and to whomever else the rights may concern.

He packed the Court to fight for the Right.

Gaining power, getting old.

And his proposals will mo-o-ost, likely be put on-hold.

He repulses the earth so much, left by his wives.

He’ll go lonely to his grave, from all his li-i-fe-long fights.

And we’ll be able to correct this wrong, wrong time.

In his shakedowns, we see all his lies.

He’s not the man the rich think they own. Oh whoa whoa whoa.

He’s TACO man, TACO man.

Doing the same deals he smeared in-the-past.

And we’ll be able to correct this wrong, wrong time.

In his shakedowns, we see all his lies.

He’s not the man the rich think they own. Oh whoa whoa whoa.

He’s TACO man, TACO man.

Doing the same deals he smeared in-the-past.

Mar-a-Lago ain’t the right place to hide secret-documents.

By the way, where’s the Wall?

Vance will be there, to raise taxes, you-know he must.

And all the academics, Trump doesn’t understand.

He relies on defamers eight days a week.

TACO man, TACO man.

And we’ll be able to correct this wrong, wrong time.

In his shakedowns, we see all his lies.

He’s not the man the rich think they own. Oh whoa whoa whoa.

He’s TACO man, TACO man.

Doing the same deals he smeared in-the-past.

And we’ll be able to correct this wrong, wrong time.

In his shakedowns, we see all his lies.

He’s not the man the rich think they own. Oh whoa whoa whoa.

He’s TACO man, TACO man.

Doing the same deals he smeared in-the-past.

And we’ll be able to correct this wrong, wrong time.

And we’ll be able to correct this wrong, wrong time…

The Book of the Week is “And So To America” by Cecil Roberts, published in 1947. Clearly, the author (who was an established British writer born in May 1892) had 20/20 hindsight of WWII at this book’s writing. He threw in the kitchen sink at intervals, of the history of specific people, places and things, of all different centuries.

In October 1939, Roberts began public-speaking tours in the United States to try to alert ordinary Americans to the dangers of taking no action against the Germans, who had already invaded Poland. In 1935, FDR sign the Neutrality Act that took effect in 1937. The Act denied America’s allies any military help in the event they felt they were in need of it. After the horrors of WWI, America had no interest in entering another war, and thought the Atlantic Ocean would offer geographic protection from the violence going on in Europe.

The author claimed the British government initially declined his offer of assistance on the public-relations front, but he did admit that it compensated him for certain services he performed for the British Embassy in America, and the British Ministry of Information.

Roberts also participated in a program that allowed about four thousand children and some of their mothers to move to the U.S. during the time that Britain was getting bombed via warplanes. Generous American families hosted them. Those Britishers’ families had assets in the U.S. that had been frozen by the Treasury. For, Great Britain had yet to pay America back for its WWI debt.

Beginning in September 1939, Republicans in the American federal government voted against three different pieces of legislation (that passed at FDR’s urging anyway) that would prepare the United States for war, through: military spending to rearm, reinstating the draft and repealing an arms embargo (which kind of negated the Neutrality Act).

In 1940, there were two major groups of Republicans, one of which opposed FDR in the presidential election– isolationists and the anti-New Dealers. They viewed his running for a third term, as dictatorial. Besides that, they were also thinking Germany would win the war, so they were preparing to reap the spoils when that happened. They were viciously vengeful against FDR, spouting the meanest, nastiest smears again him.

As is well known, in mid-August 1945, on the world’s various continents, people were homeless, still dying in frightful numbers from disease and starvation, from having participated in the war gone by, occupying the wrong place at the wrong time as an innocent bystander, or from just plain bad luck in not having been born a royal-family member!

Meanwhile, in Newport Rhode Island, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt threw a dinner party for some two hundred guests in lavish surroundings that included fresh pink flowers, two orchestras, and caviar and champagne. The author was there, rubbing shoulders with the elitists, a little disturbed about this cosmic injustice, but not enough to do anything about it.

Roberts also wrote, “In the following years [after WWII] one was very conscious of the India and Palestine questions. It would appear that large sections of the American people were perturbed about the reputed tyranny of Britain in these two places.” Read the book to learn a boatload more history and of the author’s adventures in the lap of luxury in America.

Eighty years later, the overall status of humanity in the world has improved a little, but not much.

For the last 45 years, Republicans in America have:

enjoyed their pet programs (military and security that kick out, keep out, or possibly trample on, the civil rights of, foreigners and poor people) while

been trying to justify eliminating what they consider government handouts (the social safety net that assists older or unlucky people, or those who have made bad life-choices).

Beginning with the George W. Bush era, the Republicans have become hypocrites because they ruined their own reputation for fiscal responsibility– they went on a spending spree that caused the deficit to skyrocket!

Here’s a little song that describes the current political situation in the United States– what the budget-busting Republicans are singing.

SLASH SLASH

sung to the tune of “Splish Splash” with apologies to the Estate of Bobby Darin and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Slash, slash, we’re doing the math,

long about a budget-bill fight. yeah

Snub, snub, just taxing-the Democrats’ club,

favoring everyTHING far-Right.

Well, jack up the deficit. It’s all Biden’s fault.

Open wounds around us, and we rub in the salt.

Well, slash, slash, we went back to the math, well, how were we to know Biden’s brain was all gone?

We’re Biden-bashing, healthcare-slashing,

wheeling and dealing, Dems are stewing and a-suing,

we’re complying with Trump’s lying. Yeah.

Bang, bang, we smear the Liberal gang,

dancing on the Democrats’ graves.

Yeah, no cops, pulling out all the stops.

This bill has the pork we crave.

Well there’s, big MON-ey, for ICE.

Forget the EARTH.

We Reagan wannaBES put America FIRST.

Well- a, we can’t forget about the math. We have to put our fancy PR on. Yay.

We’re polling and steam-rolling, wheeling and dealing,

Dems are stewing and a-suing. Slashing and slashing. Yeah.

Yes, we’re Biden-bashing, we’re polling and steam-rolling.

Yeah, Dems are stewing and a-suing. We’re wheeling and dealing.

We’re polling and steam-rolling. We’re complying with Trump’s lying. Slash slash yeah

mm slashing and slashing, all-time we’re Biden-bashing, whoo-wee, Dems are stewing and a-suing, we’re slashing and slashing…

(Knock Harvard Out) in Massachusetts – BONUS POST

As is well known, the president is executing an evil plot against America’s institutions, and Harvard University is a major target. Here’s what Trump is singing that explains the situation.

(KNOCK HARVARD OUT) IN MASSACHUSETTS

sung to the tune of “(The Lights Went Out) in Massachusetts” with apologies to the Bee Gees and to whomever else the rights may concern.

I am getting back, at Massachusetts.

They were always telling me Harvard’s the best school.

And I’m going to knock Harvard OUT in Massachusetts.

I hate the Left. I have standing to be cruel.

Also on my list is San Francisco.

Gotta give my cronies law-jobs to do.

And I’m going to knock Harvard OUT in Massachusetts.

They bring me back, to sore spots in a state-of Blue.

Sack all the life out-of Massachusetts.

Freak out all the people I’ll unseat.

And I’m going to knock Harvard OUT in Massachusetts.

And Massachusetts shows I hate the Kennedys.

I will dismember Massachusetts.

Tip and the Gipper

The Book of the Week is “Tip and the Gipper, When Politics Worked” by Chris Matthews, published in 2013.

Exactly two weeks after Republican (and former Democrat!) Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980, he and Democratic House Speaker Tip O’Neill, both of Irish ancestry and of the same generation but with class differences, met to see how they could cooperate in the new administration. They found little common-ground politically, but were able to socialize outside of work.

Reagan’s agenda on the budget was as follows: pass a tax cut for the rich, increase military spending, and reduce the national deficit at the same time. He expected major savings would be had by cutting programs such as education, the arts, food stamps, college loans and Social Security– the sacred cow of the Democrats. He truly believed that that would balance the budget, and maintain America’s national security against the “evil empire” of the then-Soviet Union.

Reagan ended up needing Democrats’ House votes to raise the debt ceiling. O’Neill shrewdly told the head of communications on Capitol Hill to personally send a letter to each of his fellow House party-members urging them to vote “aye” on debt-ceiling legislation, thus putting a political favor in writing.

The following video details the sleight-of-hand Reagan employed.

An additional way of looking at Reagan’s dogged mentality of refusing to face reality is this quote, from Bertrand Russell: “There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.” Also called “hubris syndrome.”

Anyway, read the book to learn much more about how Reagan and O’Neill clashed at work, but were still able to have civil discourse and healthy disagreement, while passing legislation that maintained America’s democracy.

Speaking of democracy, here’s a little song that describes the current messaging of the Trump administration– however unsavory it may be, but allowed, because free speech is a major ingredient of democracy.

WITCH HUNT ON BIDEN

sung to the tune of “Wichita Lineman” with apologies to Glenn Campbell and to whomever else the rights my concern.

They’re the leaders of the Trump PR team,
and they drive the main smears.
Searching everywhere for what his base,
wants to hear.

They put propaganda on the news wires.
They’re desperate to fill air-time.
And the witch hunt on Biden, distracts from Trump’s slime.

America needs a long vacation,
from this criminal reign.
A lot of GOP insiders’ consciences are cracking, from the strain.

Trump’s media thinks it can brainwash you.
They’re doing this on your dime.
And the witch hunt on Biden,
distracts from Trump’s slime.

Troublemaker

The Book of the Week is “Troublemaker, A Memoir from the Front Lines of the Sixties” by Bill Zimmerman, published in 2011. The author was a true activist– he sacrificed his livelihood and risked his life to work for causes he believed in. Kudos to him.

In his twenties, the author made a major life-decision that made him look like a righteous prick (excuse the crudeness). He opposed the powers-that-be via participating in street demonstrations and civil disobedience. Later on, he felt he was more likely to change the world via engaging in humanitarian actions and working within the system.

Born in December 1940, Zimmerman grew up on Chicago’s West Side. In 1963 in Greenwood, Mississippi, he helped African Americans register to vote. In May 1966, the author and other anti-Vietnam-War protesters occupied the administration building at the University of Chicago. He learned from an experienced activist, what to do in connection with making demands of the school officials, to get what they wanted.

President LBJ was running out of cannon fodder (who were mostly non-white, poor men) for his war in Vietnam. So he had the Selective Service System (the government’s military-draft authority) do away with students’ ability to defer their service until after graduating.

The older generation of men– WWII veterans– viewed draft dodgers as cowardly, unpatriotic and selfish. They were unaware that their tax dollars were paying for the U.S. military’s committing of atrocities; one kind involved torturing pairs of enemy soldiers (National Liberation Front guerrilla fighters) by taking them up in a helicopter, and throwing one out the door so the other would be terrorized into revealing his side’s State secrets.

The author wrote, “Flower power [a 1960’s idea pushed by antiwar activists and people in the counter-culture] meant freeing men from outdated norms of masculinity that sapped their sensitivity, their poetry, and their urge to share instead of dominate.”

It was widely known even then, that the three major ways to redistribute societal wealth, consist of: 1) reforming campaign financing practices so that election winners are those who get the most votes, not those who are wealthiest; 2) having the least unfair tax system– encouraging citizens to start entrepreneurial ventures via financial assistance while also taxing the super-rich on the back-end for having taken advantage of existing infrastructure and front-end incentives; and 3) having a social safety net for those individuals who have unluckily been born into sucky situations, and providing opportunities for everyone, as far as egalitarianism is possible.

As is well known, in the first half of the 1970’s, there were lots of behind-the-scenes shenanigans involving president Nixon’s sidekick Henry Kissinger, with his secret diplomatic missions and his role at the Paris Peace Talks, to purportedly end the Vietnam war. South Vietnam’s leader, Nguyen Van Thieu, ran a corrupt regime, and he was eventually forced into exile, compliments of American taxpayers.

That theme– the propaganda-suffused, and CIA-assisted ousting of various dictators around the world– had already become a cliche since the 1950’s. A Mad Lib could be made of it: “He then consoled himself by fleeing to ______ [a place that would accept him] with $_______ [money he had looted from his homeland that supplemented his offshore financial stashes, that also might serve as tax shelters if he had U.S. income] stolen from the aid the U.S. had given to _______ [his former territory].” In recent decades, for obvious reasons, there has been less of this Cold War nonsense.

Anyway, as is also well known, the Japanese in WWII dogmatically would have fought to the last man, guerrilla-style. It was known that America’s supposed enemies in Vietnam had the same mentality. Yet, regarding Vietnam, the unbloodied elites and chickenhawks in the U.S. government failed to take a lesson from both the WWII’s Japanese and from the French in Dien Bien Phu.

Fortunately, the vast majority of current world leaders have had enough of genocide and atrocities, and are ready to sit down at the bargaining table to negotiate the distribution of rare resources (especially those that will fulfill their energy needs) crucial to their homelands’ economic development for decades to come. Slowly but slowly, the world is making progress in the humanitarian arena.

Nevertheless, worldwide, human beings have evolved so that the super-rich now own:

show business;
professional sports teams;
gambling entities;
Silicon Valley, and
Wall Street.

They have become one big, incestuous network, married to politics. The situation has spawned excessive (especially in the United States):

pardoning of criminals;
lawsuits;
deregulation;
smearing;
lies;
conflicts of interest, and
deception via AI-generated images, and pre-recorded video clips (especially of the president!)

This calls for a funk reggae fusion rock parody.

ELITIST REVENUE

sung to the tune of “Electric Avenue” with apologies to Eddy Grant and whomever else the rights may concern.

Same Old Cock and Bull – BONUS POST

Trump wanted to be Reagan, but he’s actually more like Nixon.

There will be an admission that the president is senile only after the president’s men and his propagandists have exhausted all means of profiteering and retaliation.

Moving on, midterm campaigning starts soon. Here’s a song about what to do.

SAME OLD COCK AND BULL

sung to the tune of “Old Time Rock and Roll” with apologies to Bob Seger and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Don’t try to blame their predecessors.
Blame those cowards in Congress and the courts.
In mere minutes, I’ll ignore the attention whores.
I hate the media’s cock and bull.

Still hate the media’s cock and bull.
The system’s fat cats are full.
With this greedy crew, we have no pull,
just the same old cock and bull.

Fifty Ways to Make You Suffer – BONUS POST

It’s business as usual in TrumpWorld, with numerous ongoing legal battles, factional infighting, turnover of personnel, and financial markets in turmoil. Trump revels in his power to cause all this chaos. Occasionally, there is a big announcement of good news timed for maximum ratings and distraction (from the fact that the president is senile, and from really serious political issues), that gets analyzed to death. There might even be some later this week, as the religious holidays are over, and May is a “sweep” month. But today, we suffer.

FIFTY WAYS TO MAKE YOU SUFFER

sung to the tune of “Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover” with apologies to Paul Simon and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Trump’s a dictator whose likeness has been evolving for centuries.
He’s given his name undying fame in posterity.
He hinders you in your struggle to be free.

He’s got fifty ways to make you suffer.

It’s really his habit to be unsavory.
Fox’s overpaid noisemakers are beholden to his slavery.
His crimes feed on themselves with no risk, no wavering. He gets off scot-free.

Fifty ways to make you suffer. Fifty ways to make you suffer.

Supreme Court he did pack, Jack.
Imposed the GOP’s plan, Stan.
The world’s his toy, Roy.
No one gets themselves free.

His mouthpieces convey his fuss, Gus.
His undue influence is too much.
But his senility is key, Lee.
From his grip, we’ll soon be free.

Supreme Court he did pack, Jack.
Imposed the GOP’s plan, Stan.
The world’s his toy, Roy.
Shame on GOP.

From his grip, we’ll soon be free.

Talking heads teasing you again and again.
Ignoring the mean phonies, will help you keep your head.
Though it is excruciating,
the way Trump’s act, is tolerated fifty ways.

GOP sends its claques, flacks, and sycophants with quips.
Reagan’s Morning in America to Bush’s Read My Lips.
Then MAGA dissed them.
With a boatload of ugly clips.

He’s got fifty ways to make you suffer. Fifty ways to make you suffer.

Supreme Court he did pack, Jack.

Retaliation – BONUS POST

Here’s a little song about what’s going on in the Trump camp.

RETALIATION

sung to the tune of “Fascination” with apologies to the Human League and to whomever else the rights may concern.

Impeachment a third TIME is needed. Arguments already made.
The plans of evil billionaires are heeded.
A powerless Vance, is dismayed.
Just looking to get rid of elections, in a modern, oppressive way.
The culmination of all-powerful connections, for profit and for play.

And so the opposition burns, and Trump’s enemies fall down.
And the propaganda churns, eveRY day.

Keep seeding retaliation, lashing-out, spinning, distractions all along.
Keep seeding retaliation, stiffing, menacing, moving on.

Well, truth has disappeared in the telling.
The story is so old.
And a golfing, senile Trump is raging.
Democracy’s on hold.

And so the opposition burns, and Trump’s enemies fall down.
And the propaganda churns, eveRY day.

Keep seeding retaliation, lashing-out, spinning, distractions all along.
Keep seeding retaliation, stiffing, menacing, moving on.

Keep seeding retaliation, stiffing, menacing, moving on…

Criminality – BONUS POST

It is interesting to note that the late president Richard Nixon has extremely few, if any entities (such as roadways, bridges, dams, tunnels, buildings, schools or research institutions) named after him. It appears that by imposing revenge-tariffs, Donald Trump is striving to be the anti-Richard-Nixon– trying to escape criminality-comparisons so that he won’t suffer the same fate.

Two differences between Nixon and Trump include: In 1972, Nixon initiated trade with China, and he was a heavy drinker. Trump revels in his absolute power to wreak havoc on the world’s financial markets! Don’t worry, there won’t be a Great Depression, because nowadays, America has insurance of financial institutions, and bailouts.

Nevertheless, speaking of criminality, here’s a list of presidents on whose ultimate authority rested,

post-WWII wrongdoing– NOT unethical behavior, but explicit law-breaking and crimes against humanity, which consists mostly of Cold War / CIA shenanigans, blood-for-oil, or both, secret weapons-research, war-related crimes (genocide and atrocities, in terms of deaths, destruction and devastation), which shall hereinafter be referred to as “classified crimes” if they have yet to be declassified; and other kinds of crimes, from MOST to LEAST [president: kinds of crimes]:

1) Nixon: war, political/election, financial
2) George W. Bush: classified, political/election, financial, treasonous (draft dodger)
3) LBJ: war, political
4) Truman: war– BUT arguably ended WWII sooner than otherwise via nuclear weapons, thus limiting the deaths and devastation; however, arguably unnecessarily wasted lives in Korea.

Due to lack of data on classified crimes, the rest of this list is debatable; plus, it is difficult, if not impossible to determine the number of deaths and amount of destruction and devastation DIRECTLY caused by all the other kinds of crimes. It stands to reason that the shorter a president’s time in office, the less likely he was to order the committing of classified crimes.

5: Reagan: war, treasonous, political
6: Eisenhower: war– at minimum, regime changes in Guatemala and other countries
7: Trump: classified, political/election (impeached twice), financial (adjudged guilty of 34 felony counts), more-likely-than-not sex crimes, treasonous (draft dodger)
8: George H.W. Bush: war
9: Bill Clinton: classified, treasonous (draft dodger and lied under oath about adultery), more-likely-than-not sex crimes
10: Barack Obama: classified, born in Hawaii and became president (but adjudged not guilty)
11: JFK: war
12: Biden: classified
13: Ford: war
14: Carter: ?

As can be seen, the above consists of seven Republicans and seven Democrats. Nonetheless, if one adds up the numbers of the rankings for each party (with the LOWER total signifying a HIGHER level of criminality) the Republicans total 42; the Democrats, 63. Hmm.

Anyway, now here’s a little ditty about the latest law-breaker in the White House.

ALWAYS UNWORTHY

sung to the tune of “She’s Always A Woman” with apologies to Billy Joel and to whomever else the rights may concern; Trump is unworthy of the temper tantrums, hissy fits and conniptions thrown by anyone who is wasting their time on him; this includes everyone who pays attention to him.

He rewrites history.
He inherited his rise.
He’s ruined-America’s fate with his countless lies.
He’s mesmerized his base with his demagoguery.
He behaves like a child,
and he’s always unworthy to me.

He thinks he’s tough.
In a second he’ll betray you.
His billionaires snoop while his media deceives.
His victims all quiver and he keeps criminals free.
Yeah, he’s caused so much grief, and he’s always unworthy to me.

Oh, he thinks only of himself.
He gets what he wants.
He’s led a life of crime.

Oh, history has borne out:
The best liars win.
We’ll reverse course in time.

He’ll promise from his actions you’ll get rich quick.
Then he’ll take away the carrot and give you the stick.
And he’ll hire loyalty over competence, ev’ry time.
He blames everyone else when his messes are all on your dime.

Oh, he thinks only of himself.
He gets what he wants.
He’s led a life of crime.

Oh, history has borne out:
The best liars win.
We’ll reverse course in time.

Oh, he’s losing his mind.
To his wannabes, he’s cool.
They’re eager to please him.
They’re all his fools.
And he can’t be convicted, he’s bought his degree.

And the most he will do is throw riches to his crew,
and he’s always unworthy to me.
