KYLE.COLD-BLOODED KILLER.

If you're a Republican, I am guessing you're not a killer. I'm also assuming you don't approve of killers. Yet the Republican Party does, at least the MagaRepublicans which are the majority. They have made a hero out of Kyle Rittenhouse He's the teenager who murdered two men in cold blood and was acquitted by a biased court with the help of Tucker Carlson. Now he is a Repulican celebrity who is being celebrated across the country. What does this tell you about today's Republican Party? It tells you they don't approve of justice that isn't their own. It tells you they are ruthless and dangerous and most of all greedy. They will destroy our democracy because it means more money for them, less for you. They are an equivalent to the Nazis of Germany who, once they gained power, increased in cruelty, violence and dictates. As an American you have been free all your life. Are you willing to see that freedom end? It will if you vote for Republicans in any form this election season. You don't have to make America great again. America is great.You have to keep it strong and free and decent and brave. And that means voting blue, blue and only blue at every upcoming election. 

THE BENEFITS OF BLUE.

If most Americans do the smart thing and vote blue, blue, blue, the benefits are enormous. First of all you will save the democracy Republicans are trying to destroy. You will also rescue Social Security and Medicare from the destructive forces of the so-called Maga Republicans. You will also have the supreme satisfaction of seeing traitors like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Bobert face ignominious defeat. You will make monsters like Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and other treasonous bastards absolutely miserable. If you're a true past Republican, it might be your chance to revitalize the party that was. You will see Doctor Oz pack his carpet bag and go back to selling snake oil from New Jersey. You will cripple super-egotist Ron DeSantis's campaign to become a book-burning American dictator. You will save every woman in America from becoming a second-class citizen with no authority over her own body. You will prevent the return of back alley abortionists. You will aid Americans with student loans from the burdens of excessive interest and shut down the fountain of forgiven loans to such hypocrites as Marjorie Taylor Greene. And you will be leveling the playing field between the average American and the super-wealthy, non-tax paying elite upper class many who horde each billion (a thousand million) while you make ends meet. Vote blue, blue and only blue if you want to return this country to a fair, bipartisan, world-admired democracy without the Trumpian lies, the biased Supreme Court, the Christians-only theocracy, the hate-your-neighbor propaganda, and the The American Dream is over philosophy. It is not over. I can be better than ever. But to make it happen, you must vote blue.

IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE.

Do NBC, CBS, and ABC think that we don't notice the obscene number of commercials they load onto the evening news? As many as 14 commercials during a break and later in the news, we get one brief news item before another series of tedious commercials, and this kind of single-item break happens twice. Once again this is nothing short of greed. Surely these networks can make their profits with far fewer breaks, but they want more, more and more profits, and if they have to bore us to get them, so be it. 

THINK ABOUT IT.

Without their Social Security checks and Medicare, your parents are going to be depending on you more and more if the MagaRepublicans win Congress.  However if the Democrats win and keep the house and have even more power, government benefits will remain the same or even better so you won't be needed to keep your parents afloat, pay their rent, and deal with their medical expenses. You may feel you owe the Republicans your loyalty, which is funny because they don't feel they owe you a blessed thing. If you don't want to be deep in the red, vote blue.

HOW?

HOW WILL YOU MANAGE WITHOUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK? 

Republicans couldn't care less. Which is why you

should vote blue.

WHAT VOTING RED WILL GET YOU.

A major cut in your Social Security or possibly losing it completely.

No more Medicare

No say in your reproductive rights, which will be decided by impotent old men.

Less choice in what you are permitted to read.

No pornography at all. 

No more religious freedom. 

Fixed voting, No more choices.

No more freedom of speech.

VOTE BLUE. YOUR ENTIRE FUTURE IS ON THE LINE.

LONG DISTANCE PIZZA

 Are you aware that when you call Dominos to order a pizza, your order is being taken by someone in the Philippines. They not only take the order, but receive a cut of the purchase price, which is why buying a pizza costs so much money. Do all Pizza chains use this kind of out out service? Probably. As companies become greedier, American workers get left behind. Enjoy your pizza.

EVERYBODY LIES.

Keep this in mind: All politicians are liars. So every political commercial you see is a pack of lies. But one party has the edge. The Republicans  tell more lies, larger lies, meaner lies, and lies that are more likely to destroy our country and your sense of well being. Marco Rubio lies about transgenders and everything else. De Santis lies about his sick ambition, his arrogance, even his family's adoration. Of course Crist lies and all Democrats lie. But the effect and degree of their lies pale next to the Republicans countrywide who don't want fair elections, but do want to get our country into a stranglehold where you have no choice but to pay their higher taxes, accept their draconian rules and bow to every edict and demand. Your only hope this year is to vote blue and hope to God most Americans do the same

NO WONDER JIM'S SO LOUD.

If Matt Gaetz is, as he says, 5'7" then Jim Jordan must be a dwarf. 

A CONSPIRACY OF CON MEN.

 The very picture of hypocrisy was seen on the news yesterday. We all know that Republicans are rabid racists and would never defend a black man if it didn't put money on their pockets. So there was embezzler Rick Scott and other racist GOPs standing up for Hershel Walker. You could tell from the shit-eating grin on Rick's face that it pained him to pretend that Walker was a moral family man and not the philandering abortion-favoring fraud that Georgia would be wise to avoid. If you don't want a country run by liars and thieves and hypocrites, be sure to vote blue, blue, and only blue. 

NOT WHO HE SAYS HE IS.

If you pay close attention to the many commercials by Ron DeSantis you will note a similarity he shares with Trump.  Major narcissism. Each of them bascically says," I Ron DeSantis am wonderful." And why not he crafted them? He hired the sycophants who will say anything he wants. It was easy to make his wife sing his praises however untruthful. She made it sound like he went into combat, which he never did. And what a cheap shot! Getting your wife to lie about you. Ron DeSantis is an attractive, however pudgy candidate. But he is also a book burning, dangerously ambitions, misogynistic megalomaniac, who thinks he has the right to decide a woman's fate, and proved what a shit he was with the Martha's Vineyard stunt, his pissy attack on Dr. Fauci, and his photo opping after Hurricane Ian.Watch his commercials with a clearer mind and you'll see why it's safer to vote blue.

REPUBLICANS WANT TO END SOCIAL SECURITY.

 My partner and I are both 80. Thanks to a lifetime of work and FDR we each get a Social Security check every month. These checks pay for a lot of our expenses. Millions of other Americans are also dependent on them. But the Republican Party wants to do away with Social Security. Imagine the horrific effect that will have on seniors all over America.The Republicans don't care because they're mostly rich thanks to high salaries, sweetheart deals, insider trading and all kinds of perks. Not to mention retirement packages which they don't deserve at all. How can you avoid having your Social Security check ripped out of your hands forever? Simple. Vote Blue. Elect Democrats who invented Social Security and believe in it. Democrats care about ordinary Americans and seniors and students and democracy and everything else that greedy Republicans spit on. Vote Blue. And you will have nothing regret.

ARE YOU REALLY A REPUBLICAN?

 One of the most interesting oddities I've seen during my 80 years is the number of Republicans who are so stupid they don't know they're Democrats.These are people who vote red, but are quick to take advantage of every handout, food stamp, and government allowance while vilifying the party who created these programs. These people are not rich and often not even middle class, but they bitch about Democrats  and praise billionaires and greedy congressmen who are the very people who keep them poor with such acts as keeping the minimum wage as minimum as possible and defeating labor unions. My own sister was a minimum wage worker with two kids and a dependency on welfare, but she insisted that she was a Republican and would vote no other way. Fortunately once she died of cancer (with all her bills taken care of by Democratic generosity) her children began to realize their true political leaning and are now voting blue.

A DAILY ADVALANCHE.

 Surely you've noticed the increased onslaught of TV ads. These advalanches happen on every show every time of day, ad after ad after ad. As many as 14 or 15 during some station breaks. A major offender is the evening news on all three major networks. They offer a lot less news and a lot more promotions for insurance, medicines, and their own damn programming. I notice some personalities like Ari Melber are becoming apologetic about the excessive commercial messages. I can remember when the networks were fewer and television was free. That's when it was suggested that if we paid for TV there wouldn't be any commercials. Instead we have far more commercials than we did back then, and there are more every year, Last year there was an average of six commercial during every break. Now there are between nine and fourteen. The most irritating are for pharmaceuticals which they run endlessly. And we're the only country that even allows pharmaceutical ads. Of course right now another major irritant are political commercials. What is interesting is that the companies and agencies that buy this commercial time don't even get the viewership they pay for. I personally switch to TCM until I think the advalanche is over while others tape their favorite programs so they can zip through the commercials. 

THE NEW ROBBER BARONS

I wish Republicans (and some Democrats) would stop bitching about inflation and blaming Biden. Today's out-of-control inflation is caused by corporations who think if they raise prices nobody will notice or at least blame Biden. One of the worst offenders is Walgreens who charged $28.99 for eyedrops that were $21.00 at Publix, which is also overpriced. Today I went to Office Depot another runaway bandit. The reams of paper which used to be $5.50 are now $15.99. They must love this ripoff because even a small package of Post-It notes were $15.99. Everything else was also overpriced. Greed is rampant today, and it has nothing to do with the government. It's an epidemic of unnecessary price gouging from companies who are making a bundle already but know we're gullible enough to let them make more.

A HALLOWEEN GIFT FROM THE GOV.

 Ron DeSantis has done a favor for kids all over Florida, though unwittingly. He has given them a hilarious Halloween costume and all they need are white boots. With the boots making the costume, any kid can wear their own jeans and shirt. Of course it helps if you're a bit pudgy. If not you can achieve the appearance of DeSantis girth with a pillow under your shirt. 

THE BOOK BANNERS NEW BOOTS.

 Did you happen to catch Ron DeSantis in his new white go-go boots prancing through the desolate hurricane ravaged areas of Florida. Since the boots were pristine white, I assume they never came in contact with anything even slightly staining during his photo op. Now I ask you if a politician isn't smart enough to know that unsoiled white boots are inappropriate, how can he possible make good decisions as governor, much less president. 

OUR THOUGHTFUL DOCTORS

 You do know when your doctor calls or e-mails to ask you to confirm an upcoming appointment, it has nothing to do with your convenience. It's just that doctors have gotten so greedy recently, they don't want to miss out on a singly paying patient. When they leave a message when I am out asking me to call their office to confirm my appointment, my reaction is "fuck you" which should be yours too. Recently a very neurotic Miami neurologist whose name rhymes with vermin refused to see me because I would not sign a blackmail item that said he could charge me $50 if I was late for an appointment and $100 if I missed it completely. 

HAD, HAD, HAD, HAD, HAD, HAD!

 I am astounded at the number of supposedly educated persons who say "If I would have known" or some form of that illliterate expression instead of the correct "If I had known". It's an epidemic of stupidity.  Can't they even hear how wrong it is? This morning a guest on the Robin Meade Show cheerfully mouthed that idiocy. No surprise since it is constantly heard on NBC news. Also no surprise since so many news reporters can't even pronounce antisemitic properly. Have Americans given up on proper grammar?
