The Coming Ghetto Amerika
With the success of the far right wing phony populist movement, orchestrated by the Super Rich, we all, with few exceptions, are heading into what I call Ghetto Amerika. For decades the controlled media and embedded in empire politicians sold us the Lie that segments...
Prison… Without the Barbed Wire
We look at those poor souls in Gaza, living in what many call The Outdoor Prison. We here in America are fortunate to have avoided such a fate. Yet, there is a physical/psychological definition of our dilemma here. When a fraction of 1% of Americans has such obscene...
MAGA’s Strength Altered All Electoral Dynamics
Years ago, maybe 25 or so, this writer joined the Green Party. Most of us who did so had this great dream of pushing through the barbed wire of the Two Party/One Party encampment. We supported, first Ralph Nader, and then anyone the Greens selected, in hopes of...
Blowin It!!!
The fascist Republican Party keeps throwing out daggers, whether it be on a woman's right to choose, worker's rights ( Imagine, they would like to cut beyond recognition FDR's National Labor Relations Board) , Medicare and Medicaid ( which many states have already cut...
Fool’s Paradise
How far down the rabbit hole has our nation fallen with the electoral choices we are given? Being a true socialist thinker ( not a dirty Commie Marxist folks, as they label anyone on the ' Left') I am aghast at what has transpired since my college days during the...
The New MAGA MAGAZINE!
Baby boomers like this writer remember how great MAD Magazine was in the 60s and 70s. Funny funny funny! The satire was tremendous. Well, children, we have a new satirical magazine, and funny as hell: MAGA MAGAZINE. I sampled some of it the other day when I went to my...
Memorialize the Pawns, Arrest the War Criminals!
This holiday weekend the forces of empire will rest their right hands above their hearts to honor ' Our Brave Warriors' and ' All those who served'. Sadly, the majority of my fellow citizens will follow suit with eyes closed ( some with tears) to give memory to our...
It’s Not Just Trump and Biden… It’s About Us!
Unfortunately, for the overwhelming majority of Americans who can vote, not a clue about what those two men and their legions represent. The deck has been stacked by the Super Rich ( Less than 1/4 of 1 % of us) who have controlled things for so long. Perhaps it was...
Pull Down Their Trousers!!
First we need to get the ' Right ( meaning ' Left' ) people in government. What needs be done is for the public to finally, in mass, understand that the Super Rich do damage to us all with their obscene wealth and influence. Obviously, the best recourse is to...
Action, Reaction
The Physics guys know it best that for ' Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction'. Well, I guess those who lead us don't know a rat's ass about things like that. Let's look at the end of WW1 and what transpired to aid in the growth of the Nazis. In a...
Mayday Mayday Mayday
Fifty four years ago today this writer was getting ready to hitchhike to classes at Brooklyn College. It was a sunny, blue sky early Spring day, and the college was a few miles from our apartment building on the corner of Bedford Ave and Ave U. This writer was into...
The Kindness of Strangers?
I was channel surfing last evening and watched the Supreme Court's new case concerning homeless encampments etc. What got me was how the government's lawyer kept explaining how the homeless situation was being handled. HIs retort was that NGOs ( Non Governmental...
The Empire Owns Us
In today's America there is no need for a contract for millions of my fellow working stiffs. With many states like mine ( Florida) having 'Right to work laws', unions are few and far between. Duh, like not even 10% of private sector workers are unionized. So, you work...
**** Happens Behind the Wheel!
Sometimes, when I need a good laugh, I go into my inner treasure box of memories. What comes out is hilarious, because it damn well really happened! I'm 19, just got my hack license ,allowing me to drive a NYC Yellow Cab. A few days into the job I find myself at...
The New Fascism
Once someone dares to compare today's right wing in American politics to that of the fascist Nazi Party of 90 years ago, the snowballs fly. They tell you that it is utterly ridiculous to even equate such a thing. Oh really? Well, straight from the Hitler/Goebbels...
Dead End America
Documentary film maker Marc Levin made a 'must see ' film entitled Class Divide (2015) about the gentrification of the West Chelsea area of Manhattan ( 23rd street around 9th and 10th Avenues). HIs former documentary, Hard Times: Lost on Long Island (2012) followed...
War! What Is It Good For!?
(War) h'uh Yeah! (What is it good for?) Absolutely (nothin) uh-huh, uh-huh (War) h'uh Yeah! (What is it good for?) Absolutely (nothin') Listen to me Ooh war, I despise 'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives War means tears, to thousands of mother's eyes When...
How to Blow an Election
Boy oh boy, the Neo Con Democratic Party sure knows how to dismantle things. Think of this: They had the right wing Republicans on their heels with the Dobbs decision on abortion. Probably hundreds of millions of American women had a genuine 'Hissy Fit' over their...
Oskar Schindler Would Be In Gaza
Remember Steven Spielberg's blockbuster film ' Schindler's List'? In it Oskar Schindler, an ambitious Czech businessman, has his epiphany in Krakow, Poland during the German occupation. Schindler came to Krakow to make his fortune using Jewish labor at a factory he...
It’s Not Personal… Just Business!
Just watched a 2020 documentary entitled ‘ Dirty Money’ that covered a slew of scams perpetrated on American consumers. The segment on Scott Tucker really got my goat. Here’s a bit of a background on this character and his disgusting shenanigans: In 1991, Tucker was...
False Gods & Prophets!
Being brought up Catholic this writer likes to refer to the New Testament for fuel: Matthew 7:15-20 (King James Version) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men...
Zoom or You Won’t See Me!
If you have a friend or loved one in the Volusia Cty Jail here in the Daytona Beach area of Florida, get ready to play the man’s game of Telephone. Until you have someone close to you incarcerated there you cannot believe how this current penal system works. Bottom...
The ‘Good Old Days’ (Compared to This)
Baby boomers like this writer usually reminisce about past days, replete with the great music ,sports and styles we enjoyed. Yes, growing up in ' The garden spot of the world, Brooklyn NYC' one can remember how important to us our neighborhoods were. One street, or...
Hitler Would Be Proud!
It has become sacrilegious to ever use Adolph Hitler in any comparison of a current political person or group. Sorry children, but we need to give careful scrutiny to our Republican Party and its leadership, meaning people like The Donald, Governor Sanctimonious,...
