Our own house to set in order

 

Lockheed Martin makes the must-have for spring 2022, the Javelin anti-tank missile.  On February 23, Empty Greene put out a Tweet as anti-war as anything from the Vietnam era:  "War and rumors of war is [sic] incredibly profitable and convenient.  And just like that, the media now has a lie to use as the reason for our shattered economy and out of control inflation...America's foreign policy over the past 20 years has been more for corporate profit and not for America's security..."  What she forgot to mention was her sizeable investment in Lockheed the day before.  Whatever happened to that no-Congressional-stock-trades bill?  

Did you know that Helen Mirren and Lady Gaga are satanists?  It says so right here.  Clearly the Dark Lord has given Dame Helen eternal youth, but what has he done for Lady?

Happy Xmas (War is Over).  "I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat.  Stakes are Ukraine," tweeted Elon Musk, who is even more disturbing than Poison Dwarf if possible.  With that raging hunger for self-promotion, he should name his next child Kardashian.

Apparently Russians are already experiencing Big Mac withdrawal.  McDonald's items are being offered for sale online -- no rubles, hard currency only.   Doesn't Trump have an account at the golden arches?  He could rush over a few tons of fries.

Francis Fukuyama predicts that Russia will be defeated in Ukraine, spelling the end for Putin.  Readers who remember how he proclaimed "the end of history" are hoping he's right this time, especially about the war undermining fascist "populists" everywhere.

Trump's hate rallies grow ever more weird.  In South Carolina he apparently promised to repeal the 1883 Pendleton Act and make "every executive branch employee fireable by the president."  To bring "the deep state...to heel," of course.  The Palmettistas roared, for this is a major issue in their lives.  Of course every functioning country has a "deep state," which is just a scare-the-rubes term for bureaucracy or civil service.  That is, the people who make everything run.  The politicians and their appointees come and go.  Members of Congress can't even compose a bill -- lobbyists do that.  The bureaucracy is all those thousands of people the rubes hate until the government runs out of money because Mitch McConnell threw a hissy-fit.  Then it's "We planned our trip to Yellowstone for a year but it's closed."  "A tornado wrecked my house and I can't get through to FEMA."  "Nobody at the VA will talk to me about mom's death benefit."  "I need my dairy herd certified."  "Why can't I take my kids to the Statue of Liberty?"  Because all those economists, lawyers, meat inspectors, park rangers, agronomists and accountants are home watching The Price Is Right, you MAGA moron.  You know nothing.  And "fireable" is not a word, not that it's Trump's worst crime against the English language.

Whoa, I'm out of breath.
