Do You Believe A Word Of It?

 I listened to today's Congressional hearing about Trump's treason.  It featured Trump staffer after Trump staffer getting on the stand and swearing under oath that they told Trump every step of the way that his election fraud claims were utterly false.  


Great.  Of course, there is no real evidence besides their own claims that while it was happening, they did a damned thing to stand up to Trump.  


So we have a pack of known Republican liars, from Bill Barr on down, swearing that they told Trump the truth.  Why should we believe one word of what they are saying?  We know they have no respect for the truth, or the law, or anything else except their own survival.  These people willingly participated in the worst abuse of Presidential power in this country's history.  Now, they want to wriggle out of any responsibility for their treachery, through the simple means of lying before a Congressional committee, and claiming they were all so against Trump.  


Bullshit.  They were liars then, and I believe they are liars now.  It would be convenient if what they said were true, because it would show (one more time) what a corrupt liar Trump is, but I think they are desperate to save whatever tatters of reputation they have left, and avoid being destroyed by Trump's insanity, as so many have been before.  I don't believe a word of it.  Basically, I am afraid that all the committee did today was give a pack of Republican seditionists a public forum to run away from their treachery.

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
