The Destruction of the East Wing of the White House is Going to Have Consequences.

I did some internet searches on the topic. And it is still germinating. Karoline Leavitt says it is all “manufactured outrage.” No, I don’t think so. People are in pain over the loss of part of their heritage. Maybe to her and to her regime, this is just a piece of property, but it is not. Like the battlefields of Gettysburg and Yorktown, the White House is in a real way, sacred ground.

I believe that that outrage is building and it just starting. Why would I believe that? Because of how I feel. After dealing with this continual parade of stupidity, lies and the carefully organized theatre of cruelty that is this administration, it was hard to surprise me. But they managed it. I didn’t see this coming.

And it hurts. Maybe this will delight the standard MAGA follower, the fact that it hurts me to see American history so casually destroyed and then to see it used as filler for a golf course. I guess denying food and medical care to millions isn’t enough when it come to owning the libs, a little historical desecration is necessary to pile on the pain.

The administration, once again, Karoline Leavitt, says renovations are normal in the White House. Really? If I renovate my kitchen I might get new countertops and a better microwave, that’s renovation. What they did more resembles carpet bombing from the Second World War, that is, total destruction. And total destruction is what we have.

I’m angry. What do I want? I want every last brick and every last bit of gold plated poor taste of that new ballroom utterly demolished just like they did to the East Wing. I want every single change this administration has made to the Peoples’ property reversed and erased. I want every evidence of that man’s lack of taste, his concept of some gold plated European bordello as a matter of style, gone and gone forever.

But we must remember with great care and precision, the enablers, the cowards and corporate scum who are paying for this ball room. They are also responsible for these crimes against the American people, against our history and against our glorious past. They have to pay for their crimes. Their moral failures and their pathetic desire to please our alleged leader is now clearly on the record.

When this regime is done, there must be hearings, there must be trials, there must be investigations and people must go to prison, must go to jail, must pay fines and must lose their reputations and livelihoods. Our suffering must have meaning and that meaning will come only when justice is done.

Here is a news article listing the pitiful moral failures who are financing the ball room.

I’m not going to put the list up here but read the article and read through the list of cowardice and shame.

When do these horrors end? I don’t know. But I have faith in America and in the path of justice. There will be a reckoning for these evil people and their crimes.

My wife D, when she goes shopping to the congested Commercial Street area, insists on using her scooter. This weekend, unfortunately, she ran into trouble. Apparently she parked where she shouldn't have and the traffic police towed away her scooter while she was inside a shop. Now D is a very conscientious citizen and obeys all rules and regulations and when she says that there was no sign that prohibited parking, I believe her. However, those of … Read More

I get depressed about it as well.

… what are we to do? It's a very depressing situation.  Guy dumps something like 299 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, was in charge when 11 people in his company died and gets a $400,000 safety bonus. You and me would go to jail for decades.  He gets a bonus.  What's up with that? Bankers foreclose on military families.  They take the house of people are actively in a warzone.  They kick the wife and kids out.  Is anyone going to … Read More

The Seduction of Power (via Only Ed)

Battle. That’s a very strange word to use in the context of media in conflict but I don’t doubt its importance or relevance.

I believe the battle for the print, broadcast and cable media has been lost. The kind of news that was in the paper and on the television 35 years ago is gone. We now live in an age of “distraction” news, content free news and outright deception. It is a great pity.

A free people cannot defend itself without information, facts and leadership, we have none of that. We have celebrity scandals, fake facts that our sniveling media decline to describe as a lies and a jello spined leadership so beholden to financial interests they contest among themselves for who is the most slavish in their devotion. They throw their offering on the altars of these demigods like the food offerings thrown before the wooden carvings of Odin in Pre Medieval Scandinavia.

Read on and discover nations and cultures where the media is still up for grabs.

"Battle" was the most oft-repeated term in the seminar on "Communication, pluralism and the role … Read More
