The words are clear & simple, the message deep. Purportedly posted yesterday by Elon Musk, I was surprised. After all, dozens of times, in the past couple of years, I’ve disagreed when others have criticized, nay demeaned, Musk. The most frequent? 1/8
“Nobody that rich could be that fucking stupid.” I patiently explain: a person can be quite stupid & quite rich. Win at DNA roulette (e.g., a white boy born of wealth during apartheid in South Africa) & you get a huge head…

This Super Bowl® [FN1] the first attended by a sitting Pres could also be the next stop on #47's Revenge Tour 2025. The NFL® franchise owners’ “club” is an exclusive group & rungs must be climbed merely to apply for a franchise. trump’s been rejected > once. [FN2] 1/10
The NFL® squeezes local & State gov’t for every possible nickel. A website focused on pro sports’ shakedowns of gov’t details, quite well, fibs tossed out to secure public $ to finance billionaires’ hobbies.…

The new U.S. Atty Gen’l issued a memo on the death penalty (“dp”). [FN1] Memes aside, she did not/cannot create new capital offenses for non-U.S. citizens. [FN2] If consistency w/#47 is the goal, this memo delivers w/hypocrisy, pettiness, ignorance & untruths. 1/13
1) The AG asserts the “American people, through their elected representatives” affirmed that dp is a deterrent & achieves justice is absurd. a) Stats & studies establish the opposite; & b) Voters in…

In a ringing endorsement of the GOP’s battle to end discrimination against privileged, wealthy, white (as long as they’re not Jews) males, the NFL ® “is scrapping its efforts to ‘End Racism’” by removing the words “End Racism” from the end zone for Sunday’s Super Bowl®. 1/5
Also, history will be made Sunday in two respects at the Super Bowl®. 1) A sitting President will attend the game & 2) In a blow against critics of NFL® franchise owners who support sex industry workers, POTUS…

Dear Mr Musk:
This is not a post “protesting the Trump Administration” so as to lead me to “be suspended from X.” I protest you & your actions in our country. You said you bought what once was Twitter to foster “free speech.” You need top understand. 1/7
Looting [FN1] the U.S. Treasury should be going well for you. I’m not sure if you realize that trump has immunity thanks to the 6-3 majority on SCOTUS he helped install. You seem to fathom the parts of our legal system that…

Dear Mr Musk:
I checked emails/spam to see if you replied to either of my blogs from yesterday. Looting [FN1] the U.S. Treasury is made easier w/access to their computers. [FN2] 1/9
Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” For Young, who served in the Marine Corps, to roll over & bare his throat to an unelected shithead like you is offensive. I wanted to see if you ever met Nelson Mandela. 2/9

Dear Mr Musk:
Events move swiftly. Earlier today on X & Blue Sky [FN1], I disagreed w/your post on Sen Todd Young. (R-IN) Your post disappeared. A stmt fr Young’s office was fawning. 1/10
The latest post online & from you [FN2] is a bit much: “Young will be a great ally in restoring power to the people from the vast, unelected bureaucracy.” You are not elected to any office in this country. Our federal bureaucracy has done damn good job here.…

Dear Mr Musk:
This morning I read your reply to a post about Sen Todd Young (R-IN) but it disappeared in a few seconds. That’s no surprise. Earth spins at > 17k mph & moves through space at > 30k. Of course info flies off the internet, like guest lists to Epstein’s parties. 1/11
Fortunately, information cannot be destroyed, as Stephen Hawking (a theoretical physicist) said. The gist of your post: because Sen Young hadn’t indicated he’d vote to confirm…

Re: Tank Man & thx
That the White House website no longer has a copy of, or links to, the Constitution comes as no surprise to those of us who warned of the coming dictatorship. 1/9
We were taught that people should stand up to tyranny, like the unarmed dude called Tank Man, during 1989's protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. A shopping bag in each hand, he stepped in front of a line of tanks. The lead tank tried to go around…

FDR’s [FN1] 1st 100 days in the WH received spl attention. He took office “at a desperate time, in the 4th year of a worldwide depression" [FN2] & the 100 days were of “bold leadership & executive-legislative harmony.” [FN3] Also, FDR was not a dictator. 1/10
The Great Depression followed 12 years of GOP catering to the rich. trump’s 1st week follows 4 yrs of Biden trying to undo damage of 2017-2021. What trump did last week brings to mind Liberty. B4 that, consider trump in…

“Vietnam” is both a country & shorthand for U.S. military actions in Southeast Asia, from before 8/2/65 [FN1] to after 4/29/75. [FN2] As more people protested the “war” [FN3] other causes had victories, including women’s rights, civil rights and a cleaner environment. 1/10
Nixon was elected Pres in 1968 w/false promise of a “secret” plan for “peace with honor.” [FN4] Nixon resigned 8/9/74 & the last chopper lifted off the U.S. embassy 04/29/75. Pres Carter won the WH in 1976.…

Americans do not fathom what a “dictator” [FN1] is or what is “absolute” power. [FN2] Examples from ancient times include Roman Emperor Caligula who ordered his horse be made a member of the Senate. [FN3] In more recent examples, a quality to consider is cowardice. 1/11
Dictators rarely kill people themselves, but issue orders to minions in, or over, the trenches & corpses are covered w/quicklime [FN4] before the trench is filled w/dirt. A few who engage in hands-on homicide…

People often inaccurately quote Ralph Waldo Emerson: “Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Consistency is critical to mathematics (e.g., values of 1 & 0 are constant), languages (words have consistent meanings) & other things vital to society. That includes laws. 1/8
There still is time for Pres Biden to invoke emergency powers and stop the inauguration today of a person who was part of an insurrection (Jan 6) & who took office in 2017 as s/he gave “aid or…

The USA has been hit by an “Arctic blast.” In pro football playoffs [FN1] players look goddamn cold. The league consists of 32 teams, whose billionaire owners look down from luxury suites. A “free market” is critical to “freedom” of capitalist societies. Guests are in the suites. 1/9

Once more & perhaps for the final time, I address erroneous parallels between trump & der leader of der Fatherland, 1933-1945.
1) Hitler had one testicle. On video of trump in Putin’s company, trump acts like s/he has no testicles. 1/6
2) Hitler actually wrote (Hess typed) a best seller. trump had ghost writers.
3) Hitler was solvent (fr sales of his book) when s/he took office. trump’s been broke since her/his daddy died. 2/6
4) Hitler was appointed Chancellor…

Dear President Biden:

2) A 6-3 majority on SCOTUS now belongs to trump. The most corrupt SCOTUS in history is the Roberts…
