Here Is To The Official Lincoln Civil War Thanksgiving Day - 2018

2018-11-17T08:27:00.003-05:00

Christopher Columbus blvd in Philly long overdue to be renamed back to Delaware Ave.

CC a proven historical genocidal criminal.

This also to wonder How American Thanksgiving is not a day of prayer and petition to help end and now remember how uncivil we once were to each other as a nation - sound familiar - in the bloody Civil War as in Abraham Lincoln, how it became a celebration of candy-ass Mayflower Wall Street types mooching a turkey dinner off the Local First Nation People types. Should have refused them service at the door - no soul no compassion and no respect (only greed) for the land.

Have a nice day. We are having pork on thursday btw. Cooking a turkey sucks!

Trump Punchline - Stuck - Repeat - Repeat - Move The Needle

2018-10-29T22:52:00.002-04:00

America has been stuck on the same Trump punchline for decades now per the 1990 cartoon above. Kind of like an old Vaudeville act long after Vaudeville has left town. A scratched LP for us geezers, repeating and repeating. Time to move the needle - reboot so to speak - and move on IMHO.

Klein's 3 Cent Chocolate Lunch Bar - 1913-1970

Immigrants William and Frederick Klein, in their twenties, developed and sold their budget conscience chocolate bar of high quality chocolate and made with fresh Pennsylvania farm milk, after having been employed by Milton Hershey in his R & D department, setting up shop in Elizabethtown Pa. The company was family owned from 1913 until sold to Mars in 1970.

A standard treat as in trick or treat in the Harrowgate neighborhood of my youth.

The Inhumanity of Trump and his Thugs - Tea Party - White Nationalists - Neo-Nazis - Haters - Republicans...

2018-10-26T09:14:00.000-04:00

I am having a flashback to my workplace in 2001 in the weeks following the 911 attacks. Watching Morning Joe live at a post office facility in Manhattan and the so-called 12th bomb and or suspicious package found. These latest two packages to Senator Corey Booker and former National Intelligence Director James Clapper.

I know that the typical moron who is sending something like a package to James Clapper must be in consultation with others as to who are Russian Anointed Trump's "enemies". DUH!

These packages don't end up on the desk of the famous person they are addressed to. These devices if indeed capable of mass destruction go through the hands of workers in the Post Office and workers in Office Buildings.

I can remember being in the cage, a secured place that receives securities and checks through the mail of a Financial Service Company in NYC. Getting a flyer with pictures and a list of what to look for in terms of the threat then after 911 of Anthrax spores sent through the mail. That and a briefing from a consultant in these matters to press home the need to be observant and vigilant and being involuntarily on the front line of a war made by madmen.

Where is the victory of cowards who hide in the shadows that try to strike anonymously. Where is the Compassion for fellow human beings who are exposed to danger, and possible injury and death?

Sick!

Fred Trump's Money Spent and Trump Defending Ted Cruz Dad - ? Spotter on JFK Royal Motorcade Progress Through Dallas - November 22, 1963

Ted Cruz’s Senior Hating On the Jews and Catholics in Northeast USA

"Unfortunately, in the northeast, the Jews are Democrats first and Jews second," he said at an event on Saturday held by the Palm Beach County Tea Party. "This is what has happened to a great many in the Catholic church. They are Democrats first and Catholics second."

Rafael Cruz said that Americans "need to put principle above tradition."

"There are people voting Democrat because, 'My grandfather or my father voted Democrat.’ Let me tell you something. The Democratic party today is not the Democratic party of John Kennedy. John Kennedy would be a Republican today," he said.

He made the comments in response to a remark from an audience member lamenting that leaders in the Catholic church have not helped the Republican cause.

Apologize ~~ Timbland

I'm holdin' on a rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound (Oh yea..)

They tell me that you mean it
Then you go and cut me down
But wait
You tell me that your sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around
And say

That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
Said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I take another chance, take a fall, take a shot from you
I need you like a heart needs a beat
It's not from you (Yeaaaa)
I loved you with a fire red and I was turnin' blue
And to say
Sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid

It's too late to apologize
It's too late

Laid Off in Arizona Twenty Years Ago

2018-10-20T09:01:00.000-04:00

Looking at all those closed frozen bubble faces of the majority of Mormons in Trump's captive white audience in his "Phoenix" Mesa-Gilbert (SLC South) Feel Good and White and Don't Give A Shit about the rest of America Rally, I am reminded how closed and prejudiced and thin the economy it is there in Arizona.

A lot of companies used to get a two year tax exempt invitation to start up in the "Right to Work" (But Really No Right to Form a Union and Earn a Decent Wage) state of Arizona. How cronies and your relatives are already on the payroll in both private and public jobs were a major factor in my disliking most of the jobs I had there.

That I worked for a world class local HMO only to have that company bought out by Anything 4 a Buck Profit Health Care and then the largest block of HMO members in that state got a toll free 1-800 number to call in the Midwest after we got laid off and all those jobs disappeared on Anything 4 a Buck Health's Wharton designed Global Worksheet. That local problems with your healthcare could no longer be handled for walk-ins who came to our various offices and storefronts in the state which disappeared overnight. Wait 20-30 minutes talking to a robot and wait for a "live human being" and listen to canned musak.

That we knew we were going to be laid off. Two years anywhere there in Arizona, the right to work state, and you get laid off when some out of state business bolts that state having figured out that paying half the salary of New York wages only got you 1/4 the work output, all the relatives and cronies factoring into the local work/survival framework. You go to the Unemployment Office and tell them you got laid off but on the form there is no "Why were you laid off" space to write an answer but ONLY "Why were you FIRED from your last job?" in right to work Arizonie? (Beat you down, you lazy, worthless unemployed person put down, feel bad about yourself from the state thingy?)

The manager at the HMO had designated a skeleton staff to last a month or two months past the rest of us being laid off to clean up and box up the operations and ship the records, computer tapes etc. to the Midwest. And all this before India became a favorite off shore center for call centers and operations workings etc.

The manager was a smoker and used to take at least six ten minute smoke breaks a day outside the building with about a dozen nicotine addicts on staff. And surprise, the skeleton staff to mop up was announced prior to lay offs and that list matched her old crony smoker's club. Small world. *

* Smokers in a healthcare insurance company - some irony and or dark humor there?

Of course the manager did not last until we got laid off. Rumors abounded when we got back from lunch one day when her office was padlocked. Now this is rumor and I cannot confirm but the skinny was that the manager had gotten the job by outperforming the other manager who could not meet management's demand to clean up the 90 day plus accounts receivable fast enough for management with all our new "multitasking" (jack of many; master of none) work diversions piled on towards the end.

Story was that the successful manager, the good competent IMHO manager got canned btw, merely went on the computer one day and deleted all the aged A/R to meet management's demands.

Brilliant.

Until an audit of the system. Damned audits. Surprising how successful her resume was and how stupid and non-auditing her past employers were? Sounds a bit like federal gubmint of late work 2 me.

The whole corruption of the matter reminds me of Trump and his white cronies applauding his hate and fear of non-Mormon brown people wanting to try, actually having the ability to do a better job once they get HERE, than the Fake Crony-ied up work force of both the private and public work forces of right to work Aridzona.

So. it goes, or so it went until we moved back east and we witnessed in the workplaces of the once very productive and progressive work force of New York City only to encounter the cronyism that is now the hallmark of American work force and American government (though no longer democracy I think) -- but No longer what your know or do but rather who U kn(bl)ow -- had permeated and dominated the work place in post-Computer controlled America.

Trump's Mormon Rally at Isolated Phoenix-Mesa Airport Hanger Set To Prevent Protests Like At Last Rally In Phoenix

2018-10-20T04:06:00.000-04:00

Phoenix-Mesa Airport Hanger at a long decommissioned Williams Air Force Base and served by a dodgey poorly maintained fleet of charter flight jets of Allegiant_Air - in predominately Mormon Mesa-Gilbert end of the Valley of the Sun and nearby Phoenix - is the setting of a rally geographic of very white and Mormon crowd to cheer Bully and Racist Donald Trump.

http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-news/preparations-underway-for-president-trump-s-rally-in-mesa-on-friday

It's unlikely there will be a repeat of the clashes that happened after Trump's last rally in 2017 at the Phoenix Convention Center. In Mesa, protesters will be safely confined to areas outside the facility.

Statement on Political Murder by Saudi Dictatorship

2018-10-19T22:09:00.000-04:00

"Preliminary investigations carried out by the Public Prosecution into the disappearance case of the citizen Jamal bin Ahmad Khashoggi revealed that the discussions that took place between him and the persons who met him during his attendance in the Kingdom's consulate in Istanbul led to a quarrel and a brawl with the citizen /Jamal Khashoggi, resulted in his death.

"The Public Prosecutor confirms that its investigations into this case are continuing with the (18) individuals who are all Saudi nationals in preparation for reaching all the facts and declaring them and to hold all those involved in this case accountable and bringing them to justice."

Trump Conspiracy Mentality Empowered MBS Rogue's Assassination of Jamal Khashoggi

2018-10-19T06:00:00.000-04:00

Birtherism, Fake News, Fox News, No ambassador in Riyadh, empowers a tight paranoid circle jerk of Muslim Extremists who protect the bones of the Prophet and speak in the name of his desert god. Power of and from religion merely a geographic mistake. Something not unlike Mussolini's Vatican.

Trump empowers paranoia on his conspiracy snake oil and will leave before 2020 on his own terms and take the hundreds of millions in his 2020 election PAC money with him. All legal. Trump Hotels in Riyadh and Moscow. Life is good.

"How important can one man's death be that important to humanity" - "we need Arab allies, no matter what they do." Pat Roberson's Evangelical seal of approval on Khashoggi Saudi political assassination.

Pat Robertson's price of his soul is bought and sold by the House of Saud. So is Donny's...

Mike Pence Leaving VP Post soon to do Missionary Work in North Korea

2018-10-15T23:43:00.003-04:00

Plentiful rumors in the capital of Mike Pence leaving his Vice Presidential post soon to do Christian Missionary work in Communist North Korea.

Sources in the North Korea Embassy in Washington DC confirms that perhaps the details are still being worked out of an exclusive charter to teach Christianity as a course in an all boys school K-12 where Pence would be head master in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital city.

Also details that the "Divine One" Kim Jong-un wishes the new Western Style Education facility to be named after his late uncle Boof Jin-dng killed in a recent military accident. It turned out that Boof had been a secret Christian and Kim asked VP Pence what he could do through communications to honor his late uncle, in letters between the North Korean leader and POTUS Trump.

Rumors having reached Mitch McConnell from White House staff about likelihood of hearings and Senate confirmation of a new VP brought up a likely and popular candidate in the coming 2018 lame duck Congress as that of black entertainer, high tech analyst and visionary Kanye West.

"He will bring us in the new GOP the youth and colored vote" stated white Southerner McConnell.

Trump's Praise of Slavery and Plantation Owner Rapists - 2018 - Never Forget - Because This Man Lived - 600,000 Americans Died - Robert E. Lee

2018-10-14T16:13:00.000-04:00

Birther Trump's praise of Robert E. Lee is praise for Slavery and Plantation Owners's Rape of their Chattel / Property. Nothing else from a psychopath racist like Donald Trump.

America’s bloodiest war was the Civil War which cost Americans 600,000 precious human lives.

Lincoln offered Leadership of the American Army to Lee, thought to be a brilliant military strategist. With Lee in charge of an American Army, the war would not have lasted six months.

Lee refused because he believed in Virginia and Slavery more than he had any Allegiance to any union of the United States of America. By any interpretation, he was guilty not of local bad manners but was a traitor to his national identity, something his ancestors signed off on in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

That and he liked the old male Southern tradition of shtupping your mulatto slave half-sister or half-brother as a young man and then shtupping your mulatto slave daughter or son later in life. The Southern Hillbilly myths about incest and inbreeding were a Southern Trickle Down Tradition I believe.

Without a birth certificate for any slave, without citizenship, there could be no charges of rape in any Southern Court of “Law”. Plausible deniability. lol (small letters)

That is what all this Republican Birther Bullshit is all about. Revival of old Southern Traditions.

It is altogether fitting that they plowed Robert E. Lee’s slave plantation under, recycled it into Arlington National Cemetery where honorable men and women who have served the United States in the Military are laid to an honorable rest.

Real Estate - The New Oil Depletion Tax Loophole for Tax Deadbeats like Jared Kushner and Donald Trump

2018-10-13T19:52:00.000-04:00

Raise the value of the property for six months of the year to justify rent hikes on the poor and elderly. Cheat them. Take their middle class dream away with the rent money.

Lower the value of the property for six months around tax time and justify a loss and a tax break so that you do not have to contribute to the good of society. Make money. Waste it.

Bribe politicians - like "Cocaine Mitch" McConnell with family financial interests of Chinese Shipping and along with drug and human trafficking to Gleefully push Brett Kavanaugh onto the Supreme Court to be bribed and or his gambling debts to always disappear as his snorts Coke and Beer, boofing it up his ass adding 9 to the scrolls of Supreme human destruction - for Cocaine Mitch to lower your taxes more if you are rich and the good you cheat society of can turned into more evil and support via our Roving Ambassador of the Muddled East Jared Kushner, and crown prince Mohammed Bin Salmon (Not "Moe" for short but "MBS") (too young I think to have financed the 911 attack on the World Trade Center in NYC) who can turn Washington Post Journalists into Khashoggi Tartare for din-din.

Not Make America Great but turn it into the toxic evil cesspool to support the vision of Billionaires and Oligarchs to reduce humanity to nothing - to zero - 0 - and less than zero (-0). Hell on Earth and or Trump Tower Disease everywhere. No cure in sight.

Jared Kushner’s legal tax evasion shows how wealthy real estate investors steal from taxpayers

The New York Times published a new report showing how Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, largely avoided paying any federal income tax between 2009 and 2016.

The financial documents the Times reviewed offer a detailed look at how real estate developers like Kushner and Trump manipulate the law to essentially steal millions of dollars — legally — from the American people. And the Republican tax cuts last year made it even easier to do.

The way the tax loophole works is that the law assumes that buildings lose value every year. But as The Times explains, that’s not really true; in fact, they often gain value. But even if they’re gaining value, developers like Kushner can legally claim that the law’s assumptions about depreciation are true, inflating the loss of value so they can report a loss of income.

The company’s assets are then integrated into the owner’s personal taxes, meaning Kushner could report that, although he personally made a ton of money, he “lost” more because of what Kushner Companies purportedly lost in the value of its buildings. He can then deduct that loss from his taxes for that year and in the years to come, leaving him with no taxes to pay — even though he’s actually raking in a fortune in profits.
