Chidren of Hate

Those of you who read the Washington Post may have seen an article recently about a small town in Pennsylvania that has been significantly taken over by self-styled Nazis.  I want to recommend that you take the time to examine a photo essay by a photographer named Anthony Karen, documenting one of these families.  I take the liberty of reprinting one of these photos here; there are many more at the link, and their collective effect is far more terrifying.
The experiential and emotional poverty in which these children are raised is truly appalling to me, as is the hatred that fills the gaps left by their parents, who keep breeding more children without the intellectual and moral wherewithal to properly raise them.  I cannot tell how mentally inadequate the parents are; several of the children have been diagnosed as being "autistic;" I wonder in this case if this is not a modern euphemism for mental inadequacy, perhaps resulting from the genetics of the parents.  I do not know what can possibly be done about families like this, but they are bound to represent a severe problem for everyone around them, on into the future.

This needs to be called child-abuse - like certain other activity that's come to light in that state recently - and pursued on that basis.

I agree, and the politicians who are openly encouraging this sort of thing need to be punished too.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
