"What was old is new again".

 


As I sat watching these masked men march in Washington D.C. to celebrate the 250th anniversary of  this experiment in democracy called America, I couldn't help but think how much this country has come full circle, and not in a good way. The images of those racists MAGA Incels marching proudly around the District was reminiscent of those marches sponsored by the Klu Klux Klan, which drew over thirty to forty thousand proud unmasked participants in August of 1925, and again in September of 1926.

If you are a true believer in America, and the promise of what America can and should be, this had to have been disheartening to you. If you are a jaded skeptic like me,  it was not surprising at all. The brazen ignorance and naivety of those who willfully turn a blind eye to Trump and his MAGA movement,and what they are trying to create in America, contributed to what we are seeing now. I blame them as much for those Patriot Front marchers, as I do the die hard MAGA voter, who voted for Trump three times.  This is the America Trump wants. It's why he is only giving refugee status to White South Africans, who were living normal middle class lives in South Africa,  and who only wanted to get away from a country ruled by blacks. 

It's why Trump has ordered his administration, through executive orders and directives, to erase all aspects of Black history in national parks, federal museums, public schools, the military, and every other institution that they can control. It's why Trump and his supporters can openly disparage non- English speaking people and immigrants of color, and mask it under the guise of patriotism. For the record, there is nothing patriotic about being a racist piece of shit.  

So yesterday, instead of fireworks, and barbecues,  I kicked back and watched some World Cup soccer, played tennis in a league I belong to, and went for a walk by a lake in my subdivision. I was not in a mood to celebrate. Yes, two hundred and fifty years is a milestone of sorts, and I am glad we made it this far. But given what I have come to see and expect over the years from those we share this country with, I would be very surprised if we make it to another two hundred and fifty.

The dearly departed speaketh to the felon rapist.

President Donald Trump wildly claimed on Wednesday that several fallen service members killed in the ongoing war with Iran had “said very strongly, ‘We can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon.'

Anonymous said...

It’s looking more like Trump’s gonna try to war-crime his way to victory. He posted this to social media today:

“From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran.”

“The dearly departed speaketh to the felon rapist.”

Wonder who Trump got to conduct the seance to talk to the dead? It was probably that televangelist lady, Paula White. She seems crazy enough.

“We intend to slash prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months,” he said in August 2024. Trump went on to claim, “We’re looking to cut them in half, and we think we’ll be able to do better. … You will never have had energy so low as you will under a certain gentleman known as Donald J. Trump. Have you heard of him? So we think your energy bills will be down by 50% to 70%. How good would that be?”
But instead:
From Trump’s inauguration in January 2025 to April 2026, the most recent month for which government data are available, residential electricity rates have risen by an eye-watering 18 percent. From April 2025 to April 2026, rates jumped by 7.3 percent, or about twice the rate of inflation, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Unfortunately, for many consumers, there is not much relief in sight

Discussions about politics and history often bring out strong emotions because people care deeply about the future of their country. Even when opinions differ, I think it's important to keep the conversation respectful and focus on facts rather than assumptions. Taking time to listen to different perspectives can be just as valuable as sharing our own. When I'm taking a break from following current events, I sometimes visit desicasino for a bit of entertainment.

I may not agree with every point, but it's always valuable to hear different perspectives and reflect on history. Milestone anniversaries often inspire both celebration and honest conversations about where a country has been—and where it's heading. Thoughtful discussions like this are far more productive than shouting past each other. On a lighter note, if you're taking a break afterward, you can also check out https://win-palace.org/.

Fergus tries to change a deal after it was signed:
Trump said his administration’s agreement to provide Saudi Arabia with a civilian nuclear program, which could potentially open the door to uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, is contingent on the kingdom normalizing relations with Israel via the Abraham Accords.

Riyadh has not agreed to the new condition, which could present significant obstacles to the deal, as Saudi Arabia has long refused to join the diplomatic agreements until there is a clear and formalized path to Palestinian statehood.

This is a thought-provoking perspective, even if people may see the situation very differently. I think discussions like this are most useful when everyone focuses on facts and respects opposing views instead of personal attacks. I came across this topic through leprezone casino and I'm interested in reading different viewpoints to better understand how others see these events.

It's interesting how historical events often shape the way people interpret what's happening today, even if opinions on the comparisons differ. Looking back at history can be useful, but it's also important to have respectful discussions about current events instead of only reacting emotionally. I came across this through luckywave , and I'm interested in hearing how others see the similarities and differences being discussed here.

Madison Miller said...

It's always encouraging when an instructor creates a welcoming space for everyone at the start of a course. A strong foundation makes it much easier to understand the more advanced topics later on. I came across this through luckywave casino , and I'm looking forward to seeing the discussions and learning from everyone's experiences throughout the semester.

Judges have stopped believing the bullshit Fergus' DOJ tells them:
In a new order issued Saturday, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan directed Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to submit unredacted versions of key Jeffrey Epstein-related emails and documents directly to the court for a private in camera review, along with evidence backing up the Justice Department’s claims that its sweeping redactions are legitimate.

Rather than relying on DOJ’s assertions, Sullivan is requiring the government to prove them.

“Around Washington, Salvadoran-born crews have helped renovate, rebuild and maintain the Capitol, the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. In senior living facilities in Florida, Massachusetts and New York, Haitian caregivers assist aging Americans with daily activities,” the New York Times reports.

“These workers are among more than one million people who have been allowed to live and work in the United States under a decades-old humanitarian program, and who now face the prospect of deportation.”

The Economist: “Here is a thought to chill the blood of President Donald Trump. He would be in a far better place today if he had followed the foreign-policy advice of the predecessor he loathes, Barack Obama.

“According to the Obama doctrine, as explained years ago to Jeffrey Goldberg, a journalist, an American president’s first duty in world affairs is: ‘Don’t do stupid shit.'”

Well, he campaigned on promises to do stupid shit and, unfortunately, a lot of stupid voters liked those promises.

However, admittedly, the stupid shit in Iran was NOT one of the promises, so even many of Trump’s voters are angry, for two reasons. In the first place because the consequences are bad, and in the second place because it’s not even the stupid shit they voted for. Trump said “no more ‘forever wars,’” and, nope, here comes a forever war. He said “America First,” and, nope, it’s Israel First.

VernonnPerkinsd said...

I can understand why events like this spark strong reactions and very different interpretations from people. Moments tied to national identity often lead to deeper conversations about history, values, and the direction a country is taking. Even when opinions differ, open discussion is important because it helps people better understand each other's perspectives. Sometimes, after following intense public debates, I like to switch gears and explore other interests online, including sites like https://vicibets.org/.
