Happy Birthday President Biden - We Didn't Realize How Lucky We were to Have You and Vice President Harris In The White House For Four Years - Now We Do

Wednesday, November 20th, 2024


My Dear President:

Today is your Birthday, President Biden and I know that you will be getting a lot of Birthday wishes today.  I would just like to take the opportunity to add my birthday greeting to those others that you will receive today.

I want to take the opportunity today to say thank you for running for President in 2020.  You took the opportunity in 2020 to push back against the awful Presidency of your predecessor, Donald Trump.  

You were moved enough by the disturbing conduct of President Trump after his shameful comments after Neo Nazis and Klansmen demonstrated their hateful Anti Jewish Rhetoric to get in the Presidential Race and win a four year term as President.

I'm sorry that you had to begin your Presidency under the reckless cloud of suspicion That President Trump falsely created prior to your Inauguration when he lied to his followers about the results of the 2020 election.  Although his shock troops eventually left the Capitol they left the capitol building in disarray with broken windows and with shit of the floor of the Capitol Rotunda.  In the end Trump reluctantly left the White House taking with him countless Top Secret Files that he had no right to take with him.  For a time Trump stopped commenting on how he won the election in 2020 and appeared to be reacting to those Republicans who were in just as much danger as their Democratic counterparts during the MAGA Siege of the  Capitol Building.  But in the end those Republicans who had criticized Trump, with few exceptions, fell in line with the Republican Party Propaganda  and even your former friends in the Senate like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell fell in line with the MAGA Party Line and opposed almost every thing that you tried to accomplish.

But as you have done all your life, President Biden, you marched into the White House on January 20th, 2021 and started to undo the damage that Donald Trump had done in his four years in the oval Office.  In addition, to that you also began to get done what you were legally allowed to do constitutionally to improve the lives of Americans and you have continued to do that for the four years that you were our President.  To your credit, you continue even today to do what is needed for the citizens of our country regardless of their political persuasion.

Due to the leadership of Vice President, Mike Pence being put in charge of Covid Relief, when you arrived in the White House as President you hit the ground running in terms of making Covid Vaccines available to all Americans for Free.  You also worked hard to get an infrastructure program passed and in operation and time after time you continued to make responsible decisions over and over again.

Consequently, Mr. President, you have accomplished a tremendous amount of Progress for Americans each and every day of your presidency.  You have a lot to be proud of and due to your responsible decision making I think that you have made the best decisions that could have been made when it came to Afghanistan, Ukraine and Israel, as well as the United States of America.  

In every way you have shown those Presidents who would come after you just what a successful presidency should look like.

But then came the Debate with Donald Trump and it did not go well.  Many in your party were quick to abandon you and although I was not one of them as I look back on it now I am glad that you chose to pass the torch to Vice President Harris.  You passed that torch with complete support for her in every way possible and I have to say that she not only did a remarkable job as your vice President but she also ran a remarkable and I believe a successful campaign.  In the end there were too many Low Information Voters for her to be successful.

What I want to tell you on this Birthday is that although you might think that the best of your life is over ( And in some ways it might be ) You are still in relatively good or at least acceptable shape.  When I was Unceremoniously "Retired" from my job in 2011 I was very unhappy.  I loved my job and did not feel that I wanted to leave it.  But leave it I did and now that I have been retired for over ten years I realize that the people that put me out to pasture did me a big favor.  Although I sometimes miss my job as a Family Therapist I realize that I am better off now and I promise you, Joe, you will be too.  

It is a tough thing to admit when we realize that we are no longer able to do what used to come so easy to us.  You did a Great Job as Senator, Vice President and President.

Jesus, you live in Rehoboth Beach, for God's sake.  I know that i have seen pictures of you and Jill hanging out on the beach enjoying the beautiful weather.  Now, in a short time you will be able to do that every day.

Do what I did, Joe.  Start a Podcast on Spotify.  They would love to have you, I'm sure.  Write your memoirs and kick Back every day on the beach.  

Your Legacy is safe.  Nobody can blame you for the Furor that is to come.  You did your job and you don't owe anybody anything.  Except for your son, Hunter.  I think you owe him a pardon as you walk out the door of the White House for the last time.  Don't leave him unprotected in Trumpland.

God Bless You, Joe Biden and Happy Birthday to You


Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher

Living In A New And Frightening World Of Revenge Of The LIJO'S

 November 11th, 2024


My Dear America:

It has been a startling and Stunning Week for me as well as for my country.

To be honest, I did expect this election to be a Landslide, Just not a Landslide For Donald Trump.

This is a time in my life that I am grateful to have at least a few Friends who are Democrats and who I know are in as much pain as I am presently.

I have to credit my good friend, Larry for advising me me that on Tuesday after voting he was not going to spend time watching Television coverage of the Election results because like me he expected that it would take at least a few days for the final tally to reveal the winner in the Presidential Election.  I thought that his idea sounded like something that I could do also and I followed along with his method of blacking out Election Results at least for awhile.  Looking back on it I have to thank Larry for giving me one more day of happiness before the roof caved in.

On Wednesday I texted Larry advising him that I was too sick to get together online to play music with him and another friend of ours as we generally did on Wednesday evenings.  After that I called another one of my friends who I was scheduled to jam with later in the week to advise him that I was not going to make it to jam.

That was when my friend presented me with the Horrible Reality Check that was the result of Last Tuesday's Election.

Trump Had Won my friend advised me and to make matters worse in Pennsylvania My Local Democratic Congresswoman and Senator also appeared to have lost to terrible Republican candidates.  

After finding out the results of the election the pain in the pit of my stomach that had already been there seemed to get far worse.

Today, I have begun to feel a little more normal and better health wise but I have no expectation that I will be feeling better politically for a very long time to come.

Clearly Joe Biden is trying to behave more normally than his predecessor did by offering to treat Donald Trump in the way that Joe should have been treated when the shoe was on the other foot and Donald Trump was in office and tried unsuccessfully and unlawfully to keep Joe Biden from his earned Presidency.

Certainly Americans will be reviewing the results of this Election for many years to come because the outcome of this Strange and Terrible Election does not seem to make much sense at all.  

Clearly anyone can see that the right person for the job of President was not the one elected this time around.  It was not the first time that this has happened and it is not likely going to be the last time that this happens either unless Donald Trump in his return to the White House decides that we don't need to have another Presidential Election in four years from now.

What in the Holy Hell was the matter with the American voters who looked at The Two Candidates who were running last Tuesday and saw Donald Trump as being the best Candidate to vote for President.

Yes,  These people who voted for Trump saw him turn a mob loose on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.  They saw his horrible treatment of everyone he didn't like including threats of Trials and Tribunals and Firing Squads for Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney. They heard him lie about anything and everything including who won the last Presidential Election.  They saw him kiss Putin's ass over and over and almost worship Dictators, Past, Present and I assume future.

And these American Voters looked at Trump in comparison to Kamala Harris, an accomplished Lawyer, Prosecutor, District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator and Vice President and said to themselves:

"Donald Trump is the person I want to vote for"

Jesus Christ, What in the hell was wrong with these People?

I think I have the answer to that Important Question.

I am convinced that many, if not most, of those Americans who voted for Donald Trump in Last week's Election were LIJO'S.

Who, or what are LIJO'S You are probably asking yourself.

I will answer that question for you right now.

One of my Long Time Friends who has always been politically aware and ready for a political discussion on a few occasions when we were discussing Donald Trump's strange political career used the terms "LIJO'S a few times so I asked him "What The Hell is a LIJO"?

He informed me that a LIJO is the following:

"A LOW INFORMATION JERK OFF"

I think that my friend is on the money when it comes to Donald Trump's followers.

We knew they were out there, those Low Information Jerk Offs, we just didn't know how many of them there were.  There were enough of them this time around to turn the tide of this election.  

Although Trump won the popular vote and won in a lot of states he mostly didn't win by very much. and consequently Kamala Harris didn't lose by very much.

But the sad truth is that whether it was by a wide margin or a small margin Donald Trump did Win And Kamala Harris did lose.

I have heard a number of people on television analyzing the election results and many of them seem to be ready to place blame on Biden for not staying in the race or not getting out of the race sooner and Harris for not doing as much as she could have in a lot of ways.

My feeling is that if Biden had remained in the race Trump would have slaughtered him.  It wasn't right that Biden did a remarkable job for nearly four years and got almost no credit for the outstanding job he did but unfortunately that was the way it was after he had a problematic Debate with Donald Trump.  All the attention was paid to Biden's less than stellar debate performance while Trump's Lying throughout the debate was given a pass.  It wasn't right but that's the way it was.

Yes, Kamala Harris came into the Presidential Race with a very limited time left to  campaign but the truth was that she could not really have had a better campaign.  She quickly picked up endorsements from Democrats everywhere and even had some important Republican Endorsements.  Her Crowd sizes were phenomenal and her pick of Tim Walz for Vice President on the Democratic Ticket was the right choice.

Donald Trump's Campaign, on the other hand seemed to be madness unlimited as he rambled, and "Weaved" over and over and seemed to be increasingly unhinged as the Campaign progressed.  He picked a Vice Presidential Candidate that nobody seemed to care for but Amazingly on Tuesday, November 5th There appeared to be just enough LIJO'S to carry him across the finish line to the Presidency.

There seem to be some serious concerns about the possibility of widespread fraud on the part of Republicans on Election day but as disturbing as this election result is do we want to fail to have another legitimate transfer of power from one President to another.  Unless we have proof of election regularities I think we have to face facts.

From all appearances even though we are not happy with the choice it appears as though American Voters have made their choice and like it or not we need to join Joe Biden as he follows the law and passes the political torch as every American President has done for Centuries before him with the exception of the one to whom the torch will be passed to this time around.

God Help Us to accept that which we can no longer Control.

Lets hope that Donald Trump turns out to be a better President than we who did not vote for him expect him to be.


Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher

Donald Hitler - The Frightening Last Hurrah Before Election Day - Please Don't Forget That In Germany Adolph Hitler Was Elected By German Citizens

 November 3rd, 2024



As we stand at the Crossroads of whether or not we are going to be able to continue to live in a Country that strives to provide Liberty and Justice For All or become a Right Wing Facist Dictatorship I, like many of my countrymen and women am terrified of the prospect of things going the wrong way on Tuesday, November 5th.  As I write this Last Hurrah just before the Election of a Lifetime I want to take time to thank all of you who have read my Blog and/or listened  to my Podcast and given me the respect of having all of you providing me the chance to write safely and honestly about life in The United States of America. Hopefully I will be able to continue to write safely and honestly in the future but you never know how much time we have left to live safely and honestly in America.  On November Fifth we will know if we have the opportunity to live in a Democracy for another Four Years.  I certainly hope that we will continue to live in Freedom for the sake of our Families for a long time to come.  In any case Thanks to those of you who have joined me from time to time on this Bumpy Ride that has been and I sincerely hope continues to be Democracy in the United States of America. 


My Dear America:

As we remain days away from what is literally "The Election Of A Lifetime" I am also realizing that in a few days I may be facing the prospect of living in a country where I might not ever get away with the Freedom that I have enjoyed since 2008 with "Letters To A Lost Nation" and since 2000 with "Podcast For A Lost Nation".  Prior to now I have written honestly and without concern about repercussions from my government.  That Freedom that I enjoyed to spout off about whatever was on my mind at the time may soon be coming to an end.  

I sincerely hope that we are not living in the Final Days Of Democracy in America.  If we are, I truly think that it has been a Great Run.  But I certainly hope that we are not through with Democracy yet.  We have had many of our forefathers who died to protect us from the Antidemocratic Menace that we face on this coming Election Day.  Those individuals who gave their lives for the protection of our Democracy need to be considered at this important place and time prior to walking inside the Voting Booth.  I have chosen to vote in person because many Republican Politicians in Pennsylvania the last time out tried to screw around with Mail In Ballots and I don't want to take a chance this time around that they might be successful.  

I can't wait to vote on Tuesday even though the prospect of Donald Hitler winning scares the shit out of me.  I suppose I shouldn't call Donald Trump, Donald Hitler but what the hell, I'm going to do it anyway.

Whatever we call him, Donald Trump Or Donald Hitler, I know that most of you are as tired of hearing his name and his obnoxious whining voice as I am.  

I do appreciate one thing about Donald Trump, though.  As we all certainly know by now Donald Trump is a notorious liar.  He has a history of lying all the time over the course of his running for office and being in office and being out of office and running once again for the Presidency.

And what I sincerely appreciate the most about Donald Trump these days is that in this past election although he told his share of lies about Kamala Harris:

That She's Dumb (Yet the beat his ass so badly in the one and only Debate that he agreed to that he refused to debate her again.)

Trump has done Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party a huge favor in the final days  and hours of the 2024 Presidential Campaign by showing America his true Fascist Tendencies out front and personal.  Although he continues to lie about January Sixth and Madison Square Garden being "Love Fests", many, if not most Americans can hopefully see behind the Bullshit and realize that clearly these Donald Hitler Sponsored Events were indeed plain and simply "Hate Fests".

Thank You Donald for your descent into whatever the hell has happened to you in these final days of your Extreme Emotional and Mental Breakdown.  Your Strange and Terrible Megalomania has certainly gone completely off the rails as you can see your future madness coming at you like a Freight Train Flying toward destruction.  I almost feel sorry for you, Donald, but not quite.  You have surely shown us how fragile our Democracy can be when someone as insane and flawed as you could destroy one of America's longest and strongest Political Parties by insisting that to belong to the Republican Party one must accept Donald Hitler's outrageous lies, Lock Stock and Barrel.

Well, although I'm still not sure and I won't be until the votes are counted, I think that Donald Trump has pushed his followers and the rest of the American Electorate too far off the Grid this time around.  I am convinced that when the dust settles and the votes are counted We Americans will still have a Democracy to fall back on - "If We Can Keep It". And I know we can.

But Regardless, at this point in time I think that the Democratic Party has done all that they can do to Elect Kamala Harris President of the United States.  She has run a Short but Flawless Campaign.  She has had the strongest Campaigners out on the Campaign Trail with her and with Tim Walz.

Obama, Springsteen, The Clintons, Liz and Dick Cheny, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden: So many Great Democrats and Republicans also out stumping For Kamala and Tim.  

I almost feel that "How Can we Lose."

But now is not the time for overconfidence.  We need every Democrat, Independent and Republican Voter for Kamala to VOTE.  If you have already voted Congratulations, you have done your job.  If you haven't voted yet. Please, for God's sake whatever you have to do get to the polls on Tuesday and cast your ballot for Kamala Harris.

Just think, how will you feel if Donald Hitler wins the Presidency by one vote.

Its down to the wire now people.  We can feel it in the air tonight.  Democracy must never die in darkness in America.  If you are a Republican or an Independent and watch Fox News, Newsmax or OAN, Turn them off.  They are Bullshit Trump's Propaganda Networks.  Also Turn off Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk and Laura Loomer and come back to Reality, where Facts Matter and Donald Trump is not Sent to America by God.

Wake Up Republicans and Independents.  Your Democracy is slipping away from you.  

It is time to Restore it for another four years.

Last Call for Democracy, People.

Lets not let it slip away.


Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher

Welcome To The New Republican Twilight Zone

October 30th,  2024


 My Dear America:

In The New American Republican Political Twilight Zone nothing makes sense anymore these days.  Those of us who have lived in Pre Twilight Zone America are having an Extremely hard time these days figuring out what in the hell is going on and why and most especially what is coming next.  

Why, for instance, was Donald Trump the front runner in a two Person race with Nikki Haley for the Presidential Nod in the Republican Party when he was facing multiple Felony Charges in multiple states.  When was it in the past when Multiple Felonies and Ugly Mug Shots led to successful Presidential Races in any Political Party, let alone the Republican Party.

What in the world is it that Republicans see in this Inarticulate Clod named Donald Trump that causes them to increase, not decrease their support each time he is newly indicted for extremely serious crimes in differing areas of the United States.

Why is it that members of the crowd at C-Pac cheered when individual Republicans said things like "Welcome To The End Of Democracy." What is there to cheer about when we might be truly facing THE END OF DEMOCRACY in the near future.

In the New American Twilight Zone Black is White, Wrong is Right and what was never tolerated in American Politics before is now the Norm.  In the Republican Party the January Sixth Rioters who broke into our Nation's Capitol Building looking to "Hang Mike Pence" are now called "Hostages" by Donald Trump and other leading Republicans.

I watched the proceedings on television on January Sixth, 2021 and the only "Hostages" I saw were the members of Congress who were running for their lives from the Trump Supporters who were breaking everything they could in the Capitol, Shitting on the floor of the Capitol and beating the hell out of the Police Officers who were defending the Capitol.  

Such was life in the Republican Twilight Zone on January Sixth, 2021

"Hostages" My Ass.  

On January Sixth it was not those people who broke into the Capitol who were the "Hostages" unless you were living in the Republican Twilight Zone.

In The Republican Twilight Zone our Long Time Coalition of Allied European NATO Countries can be sacrificed for Russia "To Do Whatever The Hell They Want" if they do not pay "Protection Money" to the United States.  

Why?

Because Donald Trump Says so.  That's why!

Although the United States Republican Party has forever been "Anticommunist" and more than willing to destroy lives and careers of others while building their own careers on their Anticommunist Credentials (Richard Nixon and Joe MCarthy are two names that come to mind) It is a New Day in the Republican Twilight Zone.

Because Ex President and Republican Party Leader, Donald Trump loves Dictators and desires to be one himself, we are all now required to love Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un and other world Dictators simply because Donald Trump loves them. 

President Joe Biden and his Democratic Party Allies, along with reasonable Republican Congress Members, have given their pledge of support to President Zelensky and Ukraine following Russia's illegal and uncalled for attack on it's Next Door Neighboring Democracy.  

But now, because Donald Trump is more than willing to kiss Putin's ass, Republican Twilight Zone Dwellers have done their best to shaft Biden's efforts to continue to fund Democracy in Ukraine so that Russian aggression can be stopped in Ukraine and, by the way, avoid the prospect of American troops needing to fight on foreign soil.  

I sincerely believe that it is way past the time to get out of the Republican Twilight Zone and Truly make America Great Again by bringing Sanity back to American Government and American life.

Enough of the Twilight Zone, People.  

It was a Great Television Show but it is time to realize what a Disaster and a Disgrace it will be to live in a world where Democracy does not Exist.

We don't need a Civil War.

We need Civil Behavior by our Republican Leaders and by ourselves.

We also need to support Kamala Harris for President and other Democrats in November and we need to support Democracy in Ukraine, as well as in our country.

We absolutely need to say Goodbye and Good Riddance to Donald Trump and the New Republican Twilight Zone Forever. 


Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher

Late Night Television Liberty And Justice For All

Sunday. October 20th,  2024

Much of this Posting was written Prior to the disastrous debate that set in motion circumstances that in the end resulted in Joe Biden deciding to turn over the Democratic Campaign for President in 2024 to his Vice President, Kamala Harris.  Since that happened Kamala Harris has done an outstanding job as the Democratic Presidential Candidate and Joe Biden has continued to do the Outstanding Job as President that he has done for the past four years.  We can only hope that the results of the November 5th Election will find Kamala Harris becoming our President for the next Four Years and the enthusiastic continuation of Democracy as we have known it for centuries in The United States Of America.  

My Dear America:

When and If We are Lucky enough to Elect Kamala Harris & Tim Walz and Save America from becoming A Satellite Country of Vladimir Putin and Russia there will certainly be a lot of people to thank.  Five of those Heroic Figures will be the following Late Night Television Hosts.

Stephen Colbert

Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Fallon

Seth Myers 

John Oliver

"Strike Force Five" as these Five Gentlemen have called themselves on their Clever and Hilarious 12 Episode Podcast have made it clear over the several years of their starring roles as hosts on Late Night Television what their collective feelings are toward the Presumptive Nominee for President on the Republican ticket in 2024.

Colbert, Kimmel, Myers and Oliver have been especially Harsh and Cutting toward Donald Trump from his early days running for his first Term in office, Throughout his Four Grueling Years as President and his Truly Annoying Presence recently as he promises to, if Elected, Return to the Presidency With a Vengeance and a Promise to be a "Dictator On Day One" and I predict on Every Day Thereafter.  These days those Late Night Hosts have doubled down on their Critical and Comical view of the Former American President and on every show seem to be focused on whatever they can do to save America From having to endure another Four Years, or longer, God Forbid, from Donald Trump.

What I think is especially cool about "Strike Force Five" is just how friendly and respectful of one another these Five Late Night Hosts are in their interactions on their Podcast, as well as in their visits to each others Late Night TV Shows. Recently the four other Late Night Hosts showed up for a surprise birthday party in New York for Stephen Colbert which was arranged by Seth Myers and Colbert's, Wife, Evvie. 

Clearly these guys like each other and although they do razz each other a good bit there is no doubt that listeners or viewers can tell that these people are friends despite the fact that they are mostly Late Night Rivals. 

In a Country that seems to have lost its capacity for Civility the Strike Force Five are a refreshingly different Group of Friends and Late Night Hosts who show how reasonable people could and should interact with one another.  

These guys are a far cry from the Late Night Feuds of the past such as between Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers, as well as David Letterman and Jay Leno.

What is also very cool about the "Strike Force Five" Podcast is just how and why it was started.  

From May 2nd 2023 to September 27th 2023 the Writers Guild Of America went on strike.  During the strike the writing staffs of most television shows including those of Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon, Myers and Oliver were affected.

Fallon, Kimmel and Colbert were in touch with one another and even participated in a Live Show at the Dolby Live Theater in Las Vegas featuring all three of them that they called "Strike Force Three".

"Strike Force Three" added Seth Myers and John Oliver to their frequent Zoom Meetings and the group ended up starting the Unscripted Podcast "Strike Force Five" as a method of keeping their comedy chops up and also earning some money for their beleaguered staffs who were out of work and not earning money.  The Podcast ran from August 30th 2023 to October 10th 2023.  Actor Ryan Reynolds and his Mint Mobile Cell Phone Company sponsored the podcast.  

During the 12 Episode Broadcasts the Strike Force Five Hosts were occasionally joined by special guests including Jon Stewart and David Letterman.  The Episodes are all approximately 60 Minutes long.

I would strongly advise anyone who loves comedy and hasn't listened to the Podcasts to Check them out wherever you get your Podcasts.  

When we talk about Late night Television Liberty And Justice For All we also need to give some serious credit to "The Daily Show" which has featured clever and incisive Political Commentary for many years.  We are treated these days to the Return of Jon Stewart  in the Hosts Chair on Mondays and also some of the other Correspondents on other nights including Ronny Cheng, Desi Lydig, Michael Costa and others.

Certainly when we think about Late Night Liberty and Justice For All on television we can't forget the contribution of "Saturday Night Live."  This show often features up to the minute commentary and skits skewering politics and Politicians of all parties.  The Openings of the show sometimes and the Weekend Update Segments all the time are not only funny and entertaining but are Politically Relevant. 

Last but certainly not least, although she is not a Comedian, Rachel Maddow deserves Special Consideration when it comes to Late Night Television Liberty And Justice For All.  Her Monday Program is always outstanding in commenting on recent Political matters even though it almost always always seems to be highly disturbing when she zeroes in on stories that often time are missed by other news shows.

I think that we all should count our lucky stars for everyone at MSNBC and CNN who tell us the truth even when we don't really want to hear it but still need to hear it.  

We are all very lucky to have the opportunity to have Late Night Comedians, Commentators and others telling us the truths that we need to hear in order to keep our country on track and out of the hands of those who do not care about Democracy.


Sincerely Yours

Jerry Gallagher

American Hitler - The Lies Have Become More Reckless And Dangerous The Closer We Get To Election Day

 Saturday October 12th 2024


My Dear America:

I have spent a good deal of time during the past couple of years reading what I genuinely feel was really way too much about Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler.  Although there were many differences between these two men, there were also many striking similarities between them.  

Both men seemed to have no problem in passing out lies and claiming they were the truth.  

Both Donald and Adolph also found scapegoats to blame for their countries problems.  Donald Found Immigrants and blacks.  Adolph found Communists and, of course the Jews.

These days as Donald seemingly begins to realize that a major part of his fan base are Klansmen and women and Nazi Sympathizers, His Whiney Pathetic Hopelessly Wandering Rhetoric seems to be getting more Jew Focused and not in a good way.  He is setting up the Lie that if he loses this time out that its the fault of the Jews. 

Jesus Christ, Where have we heard this Jew baiting before.

Although Trump is preparing to blame the Jews if he is not successful at the ballot box He still seems to be attempting to maintain good relations with Israeli Leader, Bebe Netanyahu as Netanyahu continues to disrespect Joe Biden and destroys what little is left of Gaza in Israel and now is currently focused on destroying Hezbollah also in Israel's neighboring country of Lebanon.   

The truth is that Trump and Netanyahu are both in very similar positions.  Both are trying their best to desperately hang onto power.  Trump is doing so by running for President again and despite all of the terrible things he has done he still seems to have a strange stranglehold on the American Republican Party.  

Netanyahu, on the other hand is still in power.  It may be difficult to remember now but just before the October 7th massacre of Israeli Citizens by Hamas last year Netanyahu was facing mass Israeli protests because he was trying to get rid of the Israeli Supreme Court, who were threatening to put him in jail.  The sad truth is that Netanyahu has no real incentive to stop the killing of Hamas and Hezbollah Fighters because when the fighting stops Netanyahu will at the very least be forced out of power and may very well be imprisoned, much like the prospect for Trump if he loses the 2024 Election.

Trump's conduct continues to be called out by Democrats who are stumping for Kamala Harris all over the country such as Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.  One of the truly astonishing stories that has recently come to light is that during the early days of the Covid Pandemic when the only way to test for Covid was with a machine, which were incredibly scarce and hard to find, Donald Trump secretly gave Vladimir Putin one of these Covid Testing machines for his personal use while people were dying by the thousands in the United States because few medical personnel were able to find these machines.

Incredible, absolutely incredible.  

As Barack Obama says "You can't make this stuff up."

Although Donald Trump is not known to be a truth teller he seems to have really gone off the deep end when it comes to telling lies recently.  

Much like Hitler's relentless lying about the Jews in Germany back in the day before he started Mass Killing Them, Trump is doubling down on his ridiculous charges against immigrants.  

Trump's Television Ad's paint Kamala Harris as someone who did not lock up Killers and Rapists but cruelly and recklessly let them all back on the streets to kill and Rape again.  Clearly there may have been times when Kamala Harris may have given someone a chance to redeem themselves that did not work out.  But she was certainly not recklessly pouring criminals back on the street as Trump's ads seem to show.

Both Donald Trump and JD Vance have also been doubling down on their lying about Haitian immigrants eating Cats and Dogs in Springfield Ohio, a story that they are peddling that seems to have had no basis in fact and has caused tremendous problems for the residents of Springfield.  The Mayor and other City Officials and the Ohio Governor have begged Vance and Trump to stop their lies but hey have not stopped peddling their Bullshit.  Trump has also recently gone to Aurora Colorado to peddle his Anti Immigrant Bullshit there.

In addition, As Two destructive Hurricanes have recently struck the south and  caused major devastation Donald Trump is now peddling a new lie.  He has gone on television and stated that The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is out of money and is not helping families in the Southern states to recover from the devastating storms.  Although the Governors of all of the affected states (Mostly Republican Governors) have all stated that the Biden Administration and FEMA are fully cooperating with all of the states involved Trump is still pushing the lie that they are not doing so.  

Clearly we have found that Trump's Lies often have devastating consequences.  Certainly the fact that in order to get some television airtime and encourage his followers to blame the Biden Administration for something that they don't deserve to be blamed for is reckless and irresponsible.  If Trump were a responsible candidate he would be encouraging his followers to apply for FEMA aid and he would be encouraging the Speaker of the House House of Representatives to bring Congress back to Washington in order to provide funds for FEMA.

Trump is not doing that.  He is doing the opposite of that.

To my mind these Outright Blatant Lies are meant to stir up Trump followers at this late date in the Presidential Campaign in order to have them blindly vote for Trump instead of Kamala Harris because of lies and this reckless regard for the truth shows very clearly the dark side of life that we are in for in a Second Trump Administration.  

Although I think that most Americans can see through the lies that Trump and Vance keep peddling and will vote for a Candidate who will tell the truth in November, I think that the Danger that these increasingly reckless lies That Trump is telling need to be addressed immediately and forcefully by Democrats.  

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the American People are in a fight for our lives.

It is really rather simple.

If we vote for Kamala Harris and Democrats for Congress we can keep our Democracy and actually accomplish a lot through legislation that will move our country forward.

If We vote for Trump we will see a Darkness cover this land and just like the Novel 1984 Truth Will be Lies and Lies Will Be Truth and we may never have another election again because the Trump Packed Supreme Court has given Trump permission to do whatever he wants with no need to worry about accountability.  January Sixth of 2021 and Trumps lies about Disaster Relief have given us a preview of what life will be like in a Second Trump Administration.  

It will be like a Dystopian Disaster Movie except it will be Absolutely Real.

It will be a Nightmare that we may never be able to wake up from.

And We American Voters Should Not and Must Not Let it happen to The United States Of America.

Time is running out, Americans.  Get your votes ready. We really need them this time out if we want to save our Country from a Dictator on Day One and every day thereafter.


Sincerely Yours

Slick Jimmy And The Coach - A Disturbing Debate Review

Monday October 7th, 2024 


My Dear America:

I've been watching some very interesting but highly disturbing Television this Past week.  

The Vice Presidential Debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz was evenly matched and exceptionally revealing concerning the views and values of the two candidates.  

JD was very slick and polished in his debate style and I would guess might have been very appealing to the MAGA Crowd and to his running mate, whose views JD certainly tried his best to mainstream.

On the other hand, Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz seemed to easily handle the answers to questions posed to him by the CBS Moderators, Nora O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan.  Walz appeared to be a bit nervous at first during the debate but he seemed to calm down quickly and the longer the debate continued the more stable and relatable the Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate seemed to be.

Although Vance didn't really have much to work with in defending not only Donald Trump's extreme views and conduct he did his best to make Donald Trump seem like just another reasonable candidate.  But although JD Vance did his best to put lipstick on this pig it was an impossible task.  

Vance tried to put forth the notion that Donald Trump had actually been a supporter of the ACA (Obamacare) Health Plan.  Walz was in the House of Representatives at the time that Trump and the Republicans tried over and over to kill Obamacare and Tim Walz reminded JD Vance that John McCain helped Democrats put the screws to Trump's plan to deep six Obamacare and helped to save the day and save Obamacare.

Tim put the finishing touch on JD Vance when he challenged JD to answer the all important question of "Who Won the 2020 Election?"  

Vance answered the question by saying "I'm looking forward" and in my estimation his refusal to answer that question lost the debate at that moment.

Although I think that realistically Vance and Walz both did very well in the debate, I was disturbed that Vance did as well as he did primarily because of what I saw and heard on The Rachel Maddow show the night before the Vice Presidential Debate.  Certainly I had not been a fan of JD Vance and was disturbed by the lies and distortions he had been peddling about Haitian Immigrants "Eating The Dogs" and Cats in Springfield, Ohio that was total Bullshit clearly meant to ramp up negative feelings and actions towards Haitian and other Immigrants in that city and elsewhere.  That despicable conduct alone made JD Vance persona non grata to me.

But Rachel's Monday Night Show revealed something that I certainly had never heard about JD Vance before that suddenly made the Vice Presidential choice of    JD Vance by Donald Trump  make sense.  Rachel began the story by talking about the fact that she had not particularly wanted to do this story but since no other journalist or network news person had done it she felt that this story she was featuring needed to be told especially since the Vice Presidential Debate was happening the next night after her show.

Essentially, the story Rachel told involved a man named Curtis Yarvin.  Rachel had learned about the story from some of JD Vance's appearances on long ago podcasts on which he hawked his book, "Hillbilly Elegy" back in the day.  The Podcasts revealed that JD Vance considered himself a friend and someone who had learned from and been mentored by a man named Curtis Yarvin.  Rachel even had some video of Curtis Yarvin that had been recorded back in 2012 that showed Curtis Yarvin expressing some of his rather extreme and frightening views on politics and politicians.

In the video that Rachel featured Curtis Yarvin clearly stated that he felt that all of our leaders were corrupt (Don't forget that Barack Obama was President at this time) and should be arrested or otherwise been driven from power and in their place should be a CEO or someone in charge that would be in Curtis Yarvin's words "A Dictator".

Rachel Maddow also played video of JD Vance stating that he was friends with and got a lot of his ideas from Curtis Yarvin.  Clearly views like those of Curtis Yarvin are not typical of Democratic Politics.

Indeed, I just saw a video today that was produced by "The Lincoln Project" that promoted the idea that in some circles of radical right wing thought it was anticipated that Trump will win the presidency with JD Vance as his Vice President.  And as Trump becomes increasingly unfit to do the Job JD Vance will force Trump out by activating the 25th Amendment and will give himself the job of CEO or more accurately Dictator of the United States of America.

Now, I really don't know if this scenario is realistic or not but just the thought of JD Vance being Vice President scares the hell out of me.  

Tim Walz has tagged both Donald Trump and JD Vance as being "Weird Dudes". He is right, of course. They certainly are "Weird Dudes" but they are far more than Weird.  They are people who are willing to not only give up Democracy.  They appear to be more than anxious to completely give up Democracy and join the Dictators Club.  

I hope for our sake that Donald Trump and JD Vance are simply "Weird Dudes" that don't know what they are doing but I am being more and more convinced that these people know exactly what they are doing and I don't know about you but these "Weird Dudes" are clearly "Dangerous Dudes" who I freely admit scare the living hell out of me.


Sincerely Yours
