Judge and Constitutional Scholar Calls Supreme Court Presidential Immunity Decision “Reprehensible”

Where are the masses of the American people supporting this current Supreme Court majority? Where are the masses rising up to praise the Supreme Court for creating a president who can maneuver to rise above the law?

The answer is, they’re not rising up because such a mass of people simply does not exist. Of course, this has not stopped the fascist majority from attempting to hollow out our principle of no one being above the law.   May certain proposed reforms of the Supreme Court come to fruition,  and in a near time.

Media Guilty of De Facto Complicity In De Facto Obstruction of Justice

 There are several ways the matter can be phrased: normalizing Trump; giving far more airtime to Trump; avoiding criticism of Trump’s delaying tactics; treating his campaign as just a regular campaign. Who is Trump? He is the 34 times convicted felon, who has been running for president for nearly 2 solid years. 

Not only is what the media doing ridiculous, it is a threat to democracy. If they are guilty of any one of the above infractions, they can and should be held accountable. If it is time for new law, so be it. If that is not possible, we are going to have to consider turning to other tougher, yet still constitutional and legal, methods to deal with this would-be upender of democracy, and American traitor. 

Respected analyst speaks to the political turmoil of now

 Alan Lichtman is a respected political analyst with an excellent track record when it comes to predicting winners in presidential races in the US.  Although he has not yet issued his final prediction for 2024, he indicates that as of now Joseph Biden is ahead in most of the categories in his analysis.

At the same time, certain Democratic leaders are doing everything they can to undermine, and even drive from the race President Biden. Thus the Democrats would lose the advantage of incumbency among other pluses.

I have been flabbergasted at the foolishness of the history- ignorant politicians, who have panicked, essentially on the basis of one debate performance.  But Biden is back to himself now and has been for the last two or three weeks at least. The intelligent and self-confident will be glad to back Biden as the best, if not, the only obstacle to authoritarianism in the United States should Trump win.

Republican Party Is Dying, Says Former Cabinet Official

 How It Happened

Includes video link

Robert Reich, former head of the Department of Labor, says that the Republican Party is rapidly dying. According to Reich, the beginnings were in the Ford administration.

Actually, one can argue that the beginnings were long before. For instance, many of the tactics in use today by Republican politicians, were pioneered by Roy Cohn in the 1950s as part of the communist witchhunt.  People matter, and politics matters. For, one of Trump’s early teachers was one Roy Cohn.

The Pathology of the Mind

 A pathology is basically a disease. Although a general term it can contain numerous diseases under its umbrella. A new Internet show is delving into the mental health, if you will, of the two main presidential candidates.  The show is hosted by two psychologists, who between them have some seventy years of experience. It is a show I can recommend which contains interesting and often, useful, information. Well worth the time.  See link below.

Shrinking Trump

Attorney on Meidas Touch Network compares White House reporters to “hyenas.”

 At the link below, you can see numerous video clips of both Trump, and the press, in the White House briefing room. Host, Ben Meiselas, explains the behavior in this historic footage.

It is becoming clear to people that the press is not treating the presidential race in an even-handed way. I agree that the underlying motivation of the press, whether they know it or not, is to produce ratings for the media owners, which are now huge corporations, with a motive of their own – – something like avarice.

See for yourself here:

White House press corps acts like a bunch of “hyenas. “

The Worst Presidential Interviewer I Have Ever Seen!

 The Stephanopoulos interview – –

What can I say?  The hubris, the disregard, the superciliousness, the engagement in hearsay,  the lack of a scientific method of any kind — all of this was the Stephanopoulos approach. Not only is this the worst performance of Stephanopoulos’ I have ever seen, but the worst of any interviewer of an any president I have ever witnessed.

It is fine to ask tough questions. But to continue to repeat the same questions over and over with a willing and humble individual, is completely unnecessary, unkind, and full of ill will.  If Stephanopoulos did not mean this, he must say so right away. Otherwise, his reputation and that of the general press is in a ruined state.

Birthday of the Declaration of Independence

 Today has been the birthday of the Declaration of Independence. For it was on this day thatThomas Jefferson completed his eloquent and landmark document. Two days from now will be the anniversary of its adoption by representatives present and voting.  From this day on this great declaration of human rights has been the inspiration for oppressed people all over the world.  May it ever be so.

Opinion: European Elections Not a Harbinger for U.S.

 But They Are a Warning

Elections for the European Union parliament boosted far right parties in several countries in recent days. Newsweek magazine called it a harbinger. I disagree.  For one thing, the US has a completely incompetent politician and insurrectionist runnng for a major party nomination. Polls show the incumbent president picking up strength in numerous battleground states at this time.

However, nothing should be taken for granted in politics. It is dangerous for any major political party to give second-rate attention to the economy. While I do not expect the Democratic Party to do that, I am still not sure they understand the depths of disquietude among the electorate regarding our economic future.  

Nevertheless, through the authoritative voice of Miriam-Webster, a harbinger is something which foreshadows (predicts) a future event. Setting aside for the moment the difficulty of predicting the future, as such, this precludes the formation of a harbinger this many months from the November election.

But that does not mean that the events in Europe do not raise concerns. At this time, an overwhelming majority of voters in the world did not personally experience Hitler and fascism in countries in Europe in the 30s and 40s.  We must beware ignorance first and foremost among the vices.  This caution should be taken with utmost seriousness by everyone.

Coming soon: The future of elections in the United States are in the hands of the individual, says commentator.

Federal Trade Commission Discovers Collusion Between Big Oil and OPEC!

 In recent research while considering the merger of Pioneer Oil and ExxonMobil (itself a merger), the Federal Trade Commission has discovered evidence of collusion between AMERICAN oil companies, and OPEC, the middle eastern oil cooperative. The investigation was able to show that the general rise in prices after Covid was tied to the rise in oil prices.  While I am not completely surprised, I am, nevertheless, aghast at the brazenness of this scheme of American companies to work with as opposed to competing against Middle Eastern countries.  If this does not border on treason, I don’t know what does.  Watch the report here .  

“New Apostolic Reformation” Not

As the son of a Presbyterian minister, I feel comfortable in saying  categorically that this new “Christian Dominionist“ movement is far from apostolic. To be apostolic means to be descended directly from the original apostles through the laying on of hands. Additionally, not everyone gets to be ordained an apostle in this fashion. Yet anyone can claim so.

 That appears to be what has happened with this so-called new apostolic reformation, a movement which seeks to enshrine Christianity as the law of the land.  This very dangerous movement threatens the lives of Jewish people, Muslims, Hindus, and anyone who does not profess their kind of authoritarian Christianity.  More at the link below.

Psychologists Warn of Trump’s Mental Condition

 *The psychologists in the video link to below, have said that Trump is a man with dementia sitting on top of a malignant narcissism.  Although these are clinical terms, they do have an important meaning for now.  By looking at Trump’s actual spoken words, they are able to make scientific observations which can be helpful.

Their warning is that not only does Trump have deep, psychological problems, but he is also very talented at getting a large group of people to follow him – – just as with a cult leader.

They are also practically begging Democratic leaders to speak up with the kind of passionate energy which Trump apologists are displaying. I agree. At the very least, I agree.

Polls continue to show drop in support for Our Former Leader

 Quick post —

Our Former Leader continues to see a drop in support after his guilty verdict in a New York court room last week. It seems that the American people do care, after all.  Patriots who make up this country do not want to see a collapse of the rule of law. This is great good news, not only for the United States, but for the world.
