WASHINGTON – There is a crow outside my window. It’s apparently agitated about something because it’s been cawing for ten minutes in increasing intensity. At least the bird can recognize when there is a problem. Crows are pretty smart for having such small brains. Us, with our big, big brains, not so much.
Years back, the media were all agog at the demise of the Republican Party. They were right, of course. While the name is the same, it is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump coup. We have armed military policing the capital of the United States while our dear leader is cogitating over which cities need similar interventions. The weasels in the former second branch of our government have joined the third branch face down, butt up, kowtowing to his majesty.
The formerly united states of the United States are now in a tit for tat effort to cheat the next election, changing districts and rules to the advantage of whichever party has control. It is most truly nauseating.
Meanwhile, our Dear Leader is marauding about trying to get himself a Nobel Prize by selling out the Ukrainians and Palestinians and kissing the posteriors of the strong men he so ardently admires. Perhaps he is looking for approval from some cold, cruel daddy figure that he never got from his own. Those childhood traumas never heal.
It is a wonder he’s so fat since all the folks he so admires eat his lunch every time. The sad little court jester plays golf and takes advice from “influencers” who, like him, cannot be bothered by reality but rather find, dig up, or make up every axe they can grind. These folks are perpetually angry, ginning up grievances to arouse the angst-ridden serfs that find thinking so painful.
The crow knows we are in trouble.
An entire table full of properly dressed European leaders gathered to try to counter the influence of the septuagenarian Russian would be Tsar. Trump always seems to end up on the side of darkness. The two wars he swore he would end on day one rage on. On the advice of one of the aforementioned influencers, Trump’s heart of darkness chose to revoke emergency medical visas for Palestinian children who cannot be treated in hospitals that no longer exist in their own country. He does not want to heal the sick. He cuts funding for meals for children. He does not want to feed the hungry. He considers making homelessness a crime. There will be many more imprisoned to visit. His tariffs make clothing more expensive. He does not want to clothe the naked.
This man and his people are the opposite of what is Christian. Their new religion is cruel. The United States is lost. It’s not because Madeline Murray O’Hare got prayers out of school, it is because Jesus is no longer in churches. Heresy is being promulgated not only in Christian communities but in every religion everywhere. It is being replaced by Nationalism and hatred. Rulers are bastardizing Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Christianity to support whatever personal ideology they hold to get and keep power.
The media are now hyping that the Democratic Party is reaching its demise, not having noticed its corpse when they stepped over it. Both parties are dead. God help us if the former Democrats emerge as some bizarre monstrosity mirroring the current Trumpism.
