WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN AFGHANISTAN:
In February of last year, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo signed an agreement with the Taliban in which the United States agreed to remove all troops within 14 months. This was basically a surrender agreement negotiated between the Trump administration and the Taliban. Taliban leaders and prisoners would all be released from custody. The US would remove all troops by May 31st, 2021. In exchange, we would get Notadam.
The government of Afghanistan (our ally) was NOT invited to take part in this agreement. At that moment, the government of Afghanistan was doomed. When your best friend starts cutting deals with your worst enemy, you are screwed.
Of course, the Afghan government was ridiculously corrupt. They richly deserved to be ousted. We should grab that president who looted the treasury and hand him over to the Taliban for trial. As bad as the Taliban is, there is no good argument in favor of supporting the awful government they’ve had during our occupation.
The surprise is that the Taliban took the entire country for the most part without firing a shot. We tend to attribute that to some lack of courage or leadership on the part of the Afghan forces. The truth is, there is no such nation as Afghanistan – at least to those who live there. It is a geographical boundary containing valleys and regions of various races, religions, and tribes, ruled by powerful families and warlords. In America, we fight for our country. In Afghanistan, where the enemy is often the people in the next valley, they do not have any sense of nationalism. There is no broad sense of being part of a nation. They don’t even have what we call patriotism.
Almost 20 years ago, I wrote and published an article recommending that we load our bombers up with bread, seeds, medical supplies, and farm tools, and drop them on the poor folks in Afghanistan. If we had done that, America would be greatly admired over there, and no troops would be needed. It also would have been a lot cheaper.
Lesson learned: You can never make friends with someone while you have a gun pointed at them.

REPORT FROM EARTH #2:

With only six days to go until Trump is returned to glory, Mar A Lago is a beehive of activity. Melania is busy putting together a designer ensemble that will stun the photographers – replete with an army-green long jacket, emblazoned on the back with the words, “I don’t give a fuck, do you?” Jared is busy making lists of Trump loyalists to be appointed to all of the various government offices. Ivanka is working on both at the same time, in a whirlwind mix of fashion and fascism.
The speechwriters have been making drafts of speeches in which the “real” president will graciously resume power and rule by decree during the national emergency. He will behave quite benevolently to Sleepy Joe and his usurpers – right up to the day they are executed.
Staff are busy with a myriad of tasks, including preparations for the Re-Inauguration which will be held in Washington DC after Trump is reinstated by the Supreme Court on August 15th. They anticipate the largest such crowd in history, much larger than the Inaugural of Kenyan-born Muslim Barrack Hussein Obama.

MEANWHILE, IN DICKINSON:
H. Scott Apley, Dickinson councilman and State Republican Executive Committee member, died Wednesday of complications from COVID-19. He was 45.
A GoFundMe page set up by a friend says Apley was hospitalized last Sunday, August 1st for symptoms of pneumonia. He tested positive for Covid, and was in such bad shape they had to put him on a ventilator right way. Three days later he was dead. He leaves behind a son who is still in diapers, and a wife who has also tested positive for the virus, but is not in the hospital.
Just two days before he showed up at the emergency room, Apley posted on Facebook making fun of the virus and the vaccine. He used these words: “In six months, we’ve gone from ‘The vax ending the pandemic’ to ‘You can still get COVID even if vaxxed’ to ‘You can still pass COVID onto others even if vaxxed’ to ‘You can still die of COVID even if vaxxed’ to ‘The unvaxxed are killing the vaxxed,”
He posted many times regarding Covid and the vaccines. To sum it up as nicely as possible, he seemed to think that the virus wasn’t very serious, and the vaccine wasn’t very effective. Wrong on both counts.

Book of Martyrs: George Floyd
George Floyd was an African American murdered by police during an arrest after a store clerk alleged he had passed a counterfeit $20 bill in Minneapolis.
Derek Chauvin, one of 4 police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd’s neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. Onlookers at the scene begged Chauvin to relent, but he continued to snuff the life out of Mr. Floyd until he stopped breathing, and even after paramedics arrived.
His last words were: “I can’t breathe.”
George grew up in Houston, where he was a star basketball and football player at Yates High School. He attended South Florida Community College on a football scholarship, and later transferred to Texas A&M at Kingsville, where he played basketball.
He became well known as a rapper in Houston, performing as “Big Floyd” during the 90s and early 2000s with several rap music groups.
Officer Chauvin was convicted of murder in the killing of George Floyd.

TRAITORS SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
I was very disappointed to see that U.S. Representative Dan Crenshaw of Texas joined the failed effort to overthrow the government of the United States and replace it with a dictatorship. I once had some respect for Crenshaw, He was a Navy vet, a SEAL, wounded in combat. But, like the thirteenth strike of a crazy clock which negates all that has gone before it, Crenshaw’s act of sedition against this nation has rendered him unqualified to serve the future of this country in any capacity. It would be less offensive if Crenshaw had been caught smoking crack with a hooker in a stolen Lincoln Navigator at 3 AM.
But please don’t just take my word for it. This is what the Constitution of the United States has to say:
14th AMENDMENT, SECTION 3:
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, …or hold any office, …under the United States or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same…”
Not only does this make Crenshaw and over 100 other Republican members of congress constitutionally disqualified from serving, it also constitutes a federal crime called Sedition. Sedition is defined as “overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order.”
Sedition is a serious felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
The attempt to toss out legitimate votes and install the losing candidate was a brazen effort to overthrow the government. Any and all of those who support this attempted coup are traitors and should not be allowed to hold any public office in the country they have attempted to overthrow. They have betrayed their oath, broken our laws, ignored our Constitution, and spit in the faces of the people whose votes they tried to take away.
If this is not treason, it will do nicely until treason gets here.

Ted Cruz Does Not Care About You.
Ted Cruz does not care about you. It’s not his thing.
Texas senator Ted Cruz does not care that you lost your job or your business due to the Covid virus. He does not care that you are facing eviction. He does not care that your unemployment benefits are expiring at Christmas. He does not care that you have lost loved ones to the pandemic. He does not care that you are often treated badly by police officers for no valid reason. He does not care if babies and toddlers are ripped from the arms of their mothers, and placed in cages. He does not care if our military is used against civilians on American streets.
Ted Cruz does not care that Joe Biden won the presidential election by more than 7 million votes and the electoral count certified by all of the 50 states. Ted doesn’t care about the 80 million Americans who made that happen.
Ted Cruz does not care about black people, Latin people, gay people, atheists, Muslims, or anyone else who isn’t an evangelical white person. He doesn’t care if you can’t get medical care. He doesn’t care about people who are going hungry. He does not care.
There are many things Ted Cruz does not care about. There is only one thing Ted Cruz cares about. He has the same wet dream every night of his life – that he is President Ted Cruz. That’s the only guiding “principle” Ted Cruz has, his obsession with getting to the White House. It has been his lifelong ambition, and he is pursuing his dream without regard for truth or decency. He does not care that Donald Trump branded him “lying Ted Cruz” and accused his father of killing JFK, then called his wife an ugly skank. Ted Cruz does not care.
So he is a willing participant in Donald Trump’s insane attempts to overthrow democracy, and make the losing candidate the winner. If Trump serves another term, he can’t run in 2024 due to term limits. That means Ted can run. So he is supporting the effort to overthrow our government because he wants the votes of the racists, fascists, and idiots who blindly follow Trump. This is what makes Ted Cruz grovel in the mud as he is doing right now.
It is a poor strategy. By taking this route, Cruz is making damn sure that he will NEVER be elected president of this country, and making it highly likely that voters will boot him out of the senate in 4 years.

A FAREWELL TO TRUMP 11/23/20:
No grace, no dignity, no humility, no magnanimity, no class, no morals, no empathy, no soul. He has no friends, not even a dog. His wife can’t bear his touch, his daughter can’t avoid it.
Devoid of humor he doesn’t make jokes, he doesn’t laugh. Not ever. An occasional gash in his orange-painted face signifies nothing more than his satisfaction in transacting another con.
He’s a loathsome coagulation of every human failing with no compensating virtues: A craven coward. A sociopath. A serial rapist. A racist. A quisling. An opportunistic grifter. An inveterate cheat. A deceitful toad. A chronic liar. A shameless braggart. An ignoramus who lacks curiosity. He doesn’t read, he doesn’t love, he doesn’t care.
Trump is a ridiculous, combed-over cartoon villain, a deranged clown with a face sprayed the color of hang-over piss and toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Rake the forests, nuke the hurricanes, inject the bleach, waterbomb Notre Dame cathedral, trade Greenland for Puerto Rico. Trump’s pompous idiocies are exceeded only by his appalling ignorance. This clueless moron brags that he was able to keep the crayon inside the lines on his dementia test.
The Grand Fubar of dysfunction, the maestro of petty vindictiveness, of malice and resentful belligerence is still feverishly trying to figure out how to overthrow our government.
Trump, if he’d had the imagination, would’ve considered handing out small-pox infected blankets in Democrat-leaning districts but it’s too late now. A majority of Americans have said enough is enough. After 4 years of what-the-fk-has-he-done-now, 46,123 tweets and 20,000 documented lies while in office, he’s been reduced to pathetic whimperings from his puckered-sphincter pout, playing his invisible accordion to an audience of brainless retards, fellow hucksters and his retinue of fawning toadies, asskissers, and hangers-on whose loyalty is demanded but never reciprocated and who have neither the self-respect nor the courage to call out the capture of the US by an amoral, moronic lunatic.
We cannot know what tipped the scales against Trump.
No lie has been too outrageous, bragging about sexual assault was just locker-room talk, five bankruptcies are apparently indicative of an astute businessman, stealing from a children’s cancer charity is fake news. Being laughed at by foreign leaders – throwing raw meat to Boogaloos, Proud Boys, Klansmen and toy soldiers was addressing his base. Perhaps it was inciting violence from uniformed goon squads infiltrated into lawful protests that crossed the line. Perhaps it was the denigration of war dead and veterans as losers and suckers by a draft-dodging, yellow, mangy dog that did it. More likely it was 11 million Covid-infected Americans, a quarter of a million who died while the orange blobulator ignored it, denied it, played it down, finger-pointed and then looked for ways to exploit it for his own advantage.
There is no excusing Trump, there is no sympathy that should be wasted on this pathetic parasite. History should not record him as some sort of tragic King Lear but as an effluvium, a discharge from the bowels of a diseased system; that has now been shitted out.
He had always exhibited the narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders of a lack of empathy, grandiosity, lying and deceit, indifference to conventional laws or rules or morality that characterize a tyrant. But he possessed none of the cunning, artifice, commitment to a cause beyond himself, the political skills of a Stalin or the oratory of a Mussolini. He had no ambition beyond the grift and the trappings – palaces awash with potentate bling, a yearning for military parades, a pneumatic wife and his narcissistic cult of personality. He has no talent beyond the con, he’s a schmuck with the dumb luck to be born into wealth that metastasized his low grade celebrity into high grade larceny.
Fittingly, he’s spending his last days shaping his own humiliation. If Trump was to be found drooling in a pool of his own piss ala Stalin or dragged Sadam-like from his bolt-hole it would be the most metaphorically noteworthy achievement of his time in office.
Gone too will be his dreadful spawn. Ivanka’s in-it-up-to-her-nose-job reputation may limit her future career prospects to hand-job supervisor at a New York sperm bank while “Uday and Qusay” could end up in prison trading sexual favors for their cigarettes. Jared Kushner may join them.
Melania might take the path of Jerry Falwall Jr.’s wife, and hook up with the Pool Boy, no doubt chuckling at the thought that Trump has only Rudi Guiliani left to go through the pre-nup looking for loopholes.
The end of America’s nightmare is near. However it plays out over the next two months Trump is finished.
The irrelevant man. A loser. Good riddance.

HANG IN THERE, TRUMP! 11/22/20:
I kind of hope Donald Trump holds out to the bitter end. I hope on January 20th, breaking news comes on with Capitol Police involved in a standoff at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in which a deranged Trump has barricaded himself in the Oval Office with Melania’s 8mm Beretta (he doesn’t own a gun, she does).
Maybe he could be holding some hostages, I suggest Mitch McConnell. Perhaps they’ll bring in a negotiator – my recommendation for that job would be Robert DeNiro.
Every day that this goes on, he is losing more and more of his supporters, who are having a hard time identifying with the new “crybaby Trump” they are seeing for the first time. It is killing those two Republican senate candidates in Georgia, who are now looking like they will lose on January 5th.
And despite what they are saying about the transition, Biden doesn’t really need the daily briefings – Trump has gotten by without them for four years. The idiots he has put in place couldn’t give the Biden team any kind of briefing that would make sense anyway. They’re going to be starting from scratch regardless.
So hang in there Donny Boy. Keep up the temper tantrums with your staff and family. Keep on tweeting. Think of the books that will be written about your desperation and selfishness during your final days before exile and prison. Shakespeare couldn’t write a better comedic tragedy.

THANKFUL FOR TRUTH IN AN ERA OF BIG LIES 11/22/20:
As Thanksgiving Day approaches, I think to myself, “What is there for America to be most thankful for during this awful year?” The unlikely answer is that we should all be thankful for the news media. Not the commentators or talk show hosts, the ones who actually report what happened. Without mainstream media (MSM) reporting, we would believe a pack of lies instead of knowing the truth.
We would believe that a big beautiful wall has been built, and that it was paid for by Mexico. We would believe that President Obama was a Muslim terrorist leader who was born in Kenya. We would believe that Trump actually has a health care plan. We would believe that Trump has done more for black people than any president since Lincoln. We would believe that there were ‘very fine people’ on both sides at Charlottesville. We would believe than windmills cause cancer.
When it comes to Covid 19, without the faithful reporting of the MSM, we would believe that the Corona virus is a hoax; that it is magically disappearing; that people aren’t actually dying; that we are turning the corner; and that even if you do get infected, just take some hydroxychloroquine. We would believe that the virus is no worse than a case of sniffles. Without the MSM we would also believe that wearing a mask does nothing to stop the spread, but that mask wearing is instead some kind of mind control exercise designed to take away our freedom.
Without mainstream media, we would believe that the trade imbalance has improved under Trump. We would believe that Joe Biden is a doddering senile socialist pedophile. We would believe that the swamp has been drained and the corruption in Washington D.C. has been reduced. We would believe that Trump won the popular vote in both elections, and that there was widespread voter fraud in both elections. We would believe that Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
In other words, without the facts we would be raving lunatics. There are in truth a large number of people who ignore the facts and listen to commentators and spin doctors, and who believe some or all of the above.
This is just the short list. There are all kinds of crazy things that we would believe if it were not for the journalistic integrity and investigative capabilities of the hated mainstream media. They rely on multiple independent sources. They corroborate the facts before publishing. They do their homework. They subscribe to and operate within a code of ethics that sets a standard worldwide.
So when we think of heroes during these dark times, the maligned and falsely accused reporters who continue to uncover the facts should be at the top of the list. Thank God for them, because without them we could all be made into losers and suckers, and democracy would be replaced by tyranny.

ZOMBIE TRUMP WILL STAY AT THE HELM:

In case you were hoping Trump would just go away in January, it will not happen. He has consolidated his control over the Republican Party like an anaconda wrapping up a deer. His loyalists have been placed in the power positions, and he is the shot caller.
In the past, Republicans supported their party and the platform. But this year, for the first time in history, the party intentionally closed their convention without a platform. There was no list of issues, core principles, or positions. So the de facto platform became whatever Donald Trump said at any given moment. Being a Republican is no longer associated with any specific policy aims or political issues, and there is no plan. It is about one person. And that person is now a political zombie, a “dead man walking.”
Donald Trump, even though he lost, still controls all of the Republican votes and all of the party’s money. He also controls the Republican media and their viewers. Just because he lost the election, those facts will not change.
He will soon create a 2024 Campaign and start raising money immediately. That’s what he did right after winning in 2016, and he raised over $1 billion. Only $8,000 of that was contributed by Donald Trump. He spent a lot of that campaign money on his own legal bills, and he will do so again. Sometime in the next 4 years, Trump will come due on at least $400 million in personal debt. He may owe another $70+ million to the IRS. There are criminal investigations underway in New York state and in Manhattan. His company has been losing money, and it’s about to get much worse without the $10+ million he has charged the government at Mar a Lago and his DC hotel. His legal and financial problems will also entangle the entire party and conservative media because it is their job to defend him.
Make no mistake. No matter what else happens during the next 4 years, Donald Trump is still going to be the leader of the party and the owner of their votes. He will still be the hero of those who get their news from guys like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. That means other Republican politicians and conservative media figures will have to take his side, even when he is dead wrong. Turning on Trump, even after he is out of office, would be career suicide for them.
For the Democrats, this is the gift that will keep on giving. He has already dragged the Republican Party into the raw sewage of racism and moronic denial of science. As the nation moves forward in hope, Trump will become less relevant, even to his die hard fans. If he somehow manages to run in 2024, he will find that the tide has gone out. As his star fades, the party and Fox News will also fade. They have tied themselves to the mast, and they will go down with the ship.
