Are you better off than you were four years ago?



Remember that question from Ronald Reagan?

There are forty million unemployed Americans, and the number is climbing every day.

Huge demonstrations in cities all over the country are met with violence from the authorities, while at the same time armed right wing terrorists are allowed to invade our State capitols without any consequence.

The country, as we all know, is teetering on the brink of depression.

One man has alienated us from all our allies, while encouraging the behavior of the world's dictators, leaving citizens of other nations to both despise and laugh at us.

Trillions of dollars are stolen from the nation's resources to fatten the fortunes of the rich.

A party that screams about budget deficits every time a Democrat is in the White House is now running up an almost unbelievable annual deficit that is going to amount to five trillion dollars.

Open corruption and criminality is an every day occurrence in the White House; and a despicable criminal is allowed to use the Justice Department to crush the leader's enemies.

And the Republican party goes on, lying and smearing and raging about its opponents, trying to find a way to convince voters one more time that having the country torn apart in every way is preferable to responsible government.

Our entire nation is now a failed State, with a totally dysfunctional government, all brought about by the greed and hatred of one political party.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?  Four years ago, however cynical you were, could you imagine being in this place today?

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.

Wingnut Wrapup

 Well, I haven't done one of these in a while, but I thought it might be fun to see what the wingnuts are "thinking" lately, so let's just dive in: And the big news: "Breaking! Trump Just Truthed He's "The Real Commander-In-Chief" Well, he said it.  It must be true.  He "truthed" it! You know it wouldn't take long for this sort of "reporting" to happen: "Maui Directed Energy Weapon Assault, Like 9/11, Paradise, CA., Malibu and Boulder Fires" Of course, it can't be the result of global warming.  It must be the deep state attacking Hawaii for some reason.  That makes much more sense.  Here's a small selection of headlines from the dozens and dozens of other articles about this alleged treachery: "New Patriot Underground: Hawaiian Wildfire: Possible DEW Attack" Maui: "An Orchestrated Apocalypse" "Maui Hawaii Has DUMBs Underground 8 to 10 Sex Trafficking Tunnels We Just Lasered Them Out!

Hamas

  Of ocurse I am going to take the opportunity to talk about the Hamas attack on Israel.   First, I'd like to talk about my background, or baggage, regarding the country.   I have lived in Israel, some years ago.   This was not for religious reasons; I spent several months there working on a movie.   During pre-production, weeks of location scouting and shooting the movie, I was all over the country, and spent a fair amount of time in the West Bank, where we also shot.   This included a lot of places that normal tourists would not see, including predominantly Arab areas such as East Jerusalem, the Arab quarter of the old city, Ramla and the southern part of Jaffa, which is predominantly Arab.   It also included heavily Orthodox areas like Mea Shearim.   I dealt with Israeli Arabs, Palestinians and Bedouins.     Here are a few things I believe I learned there:   First of all, the Palestinians I knew were perfectly normal people with the same interest in living a safe, secure
