I won’t start worrying for two week. And Costco sells underwear in 3-packs…

Only a true media consumer would have reason to know that!

I watched the 2020 election being stolen from Trump in real time on election night here on the West Coast. I stayed up until 3 AM. At around 11 PM Pacific Time the votes quit being counted in the swing states all at the same time, and then when counting started again, about 1:30 AM or so, Trump was no longer way ahead, but behind Joe Biden.

It didn't take a genius to figure out what happened.

I wrote to the county Registrar of Voters two or three weeks later. Told him that voting was pointless. The elections are rigged. I told him to take my name off the voter rolls, which he did.

At this point, not voting is the only real vote I have.

I vote "None of the Above" and "No confidence in the system."

I do not consent.

If only Do Not Consent brought No Longer Obligated To Obey...

Brian, If only... I realize I'm a serf, but that doesn't mean I have to like it or vote for it.

So don't. (I'm sure you're not).

Why not use all that spare time surfing for new serfs? There is a shortage, ya know...?

Brian, I like reading history. The few decades of liberty, peace, and prosperity in the USA were wonderful times, but they aren't coming back without a revolution. Americans are lazy and content. I'm done banging my head against that wall.

From the shape of that wall, at least it's soft and flabby...

Brian, LOL! That's the worst part. It's like punching at a dough boy with the brains of a simpleton. All my punches are just absorbed into a gelatinous mass.

The DNC was on the TVs at the laundromat Wednesday night. So, technically, I heard a little more than an hour's worth of the ridiculous spoken memefest, even though it wasn't by choice.

I had managed to avoid everything else about both conventions, save for a Twitter/X clip of Hulk Hogan at the RNC demonstrating (as I loudly proclaimed on a podcast) that pro wrestling is real, democracy is fake.

Start the video at about the 4:34:00 mark. Huey hated the big-time newspapers in New Orleans, which always opposed him. Huey kept trying to pass a 15% tax on newspaper ad revenue to punish his newspaper opponents. Huey was all for free speech, but only the speech he liked. Sound familiar? Huey started his own newspaper, but printed it in Mississippi to avoid Louisiana libel laws. LOL!

One evening at the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, Huey skipped dinner and got drunk. He called one of his lieutenants and wanted him to come to the hotel. Huey wanted the National Guard to go to the newspapers and destroy their printing presses. Shades of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."

Another lieutenant of Huey's quickly called his associate and told him to drag his feet coming to the Roosevelt Hotel. He was eventually able to sober up Huey Long enough for him to call off the raid.

Huey was a force of nature. He threatened, bribed, cajoled, and was always there at the scene. His presence was electrifying. Trump is a weak imitation of Huey.

I don't agree with Huey, but damn! He is entertaining as hell.

Hi Brian, I'm fascinated by the over 5 hour Huey P. Long documentary. Long was a true socialist and populist. He was a man of the people who went after the rich and powerful. I don't agree with Huey's methods, but many think the ends justify the means. I don't.

I any event, Long campaigned for FDR for the 1932 presidential election, but there was no way a poor boy from the swamps of Louisiana like Huey would get along with a rich patrician New Yorker like FDR. Huey and FDR shared the stage with no one.

FDR considered Huey P. Long and Douglas MacArthur the two most dangerous men in America.

Once Huey decided to run for President against FDR in the upcoming 1936 election, his fate was sealed. Huey was murdered in Baton Rouge soon after.

The Yankee industrialists who run the USA don't mess around. They supported Abe Lincoln and his war on the South. The Yankees will kill anyone who gets in their way and those Kennedy Catholics were just another bump in the road like the Gracchi Brothers in Ancient Rome.

Anyone who goes up against the New England Yankees better be prepared to go all the way or not bother.
