For me it's the witch.


Please God, I don't ask for much but do me a solid this one time and make Trump and Kamala debate Havana Syndrome. Oh well, I tried. As expected it was a total sh!tshow.




Regulators, Mount up! We live in an age of miracles and wonders...

Just more silly nonsense regards to a few Haitians or according to GOP chairman via Swalwell it's aliens eating cats & ducks in Springfield Ohio. Eric Swalwell, with his Chinese connections, caught sleeping with a Chinese spy, has no problem with eating Ducks. What is Trump up to now?  Anyways, more political theater. Perhaps they should consider getting better actors, because this is really bad. Maybe Trump should go on stage  accompanied by some cats and ducks!

Until last year, except for a four year period in the 1990s, from 1990-2023, the mayor of Springfield, OH was the late Warren Copeland. Copeland since the late 1970s was an associate professor at nearby Wittenberg University, a private liberal arts college. He specialized in religion, with a focus on Social Ethics. He wrote a book on Springfield titled "Updating the Dream" in 1997. He wrote another book about his view of governance titled, "Doing Justice in Our Cities: Lessons in Public Policy from America’s Heartland" where you can get a summary at Amazon.

The present mayor is just having to deal with what Springfield voted for during most of the previous three decades. Those 20,000 Haitians did not show up overnight or uninvited. Though flown in by the federal government, (aviation contractors via NGOs) they were not forced on the city by the federal government.

Elections have consequences. Springfield voted for this. They signaled their virtue, their signal was seen, and virtue arrived. This is what they wanted. This is what they got. They'll have to deal with the consequences.


Haiti's woes root back to the fact that they waged a successful Slave revolt (Haitian Revolution 1791 – 1804) against the French on the principles of the American and French Revolutions — enlightenment ideals that Toussaint Louverture learned in France (and which certain ideologues also spread directly in Haiti). Then after defeating Napoleon’s forces and precluding the disposition of Louisiana purchase lands to US possession, Haiti went on to liberate numerous Latin America nations from slavery.

In retaliation for embarrassment, European powers & U.S. denied formal recognition to Haiti. This was crucial and the French imposed a debt on Haiti for their loss of "property" (including land, resources & slaves) thus holding hostage diplomatic recognition. Taking out loans at a heavy interest rate from French banks that took more than a century to repay, Haiti’s industrial progress and material stability was retarded significantly, driving the population into perpetual poverty and in the power vacuum... giving rise to various despotic regimes and heinous corruption inside Haiti.

Rather than a debt of gratitude towards Haitian revolutionaries for almost eradicating slavery in the new world, Haitians today are mocked for their poverty and superstitions. As the world turns.


Well, you voted for them, so...

If Elon Musk can just find a way to power the world on pure cringe, he’s gonna be our saviour. LOL. And replace it with what?




Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I’m a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I’ve seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I’m qualified?
