Who Was Jeffrey Epstein?

We know who Trump is, but who was Epstein?

According to a NY Times columnist,  Epstein grew up on Coney Island, where he learned how to groom teenage girls for sex and rich men for money. 

What Epstein discovered is that many billionaires are, like Elon Musk or the Great Gatsby, ruthless dorks. Many, but not all, are charmless and friendless, unable to relate to others. 

The lame rich had expected that enormous wealth would automatically gain them tickets to fantastic parties staffed by topless teenagers. Parties that might make up for the turndowns in high school. 

But no one invited them to wild parties. Girls, aside from hungry EuroTrash, wouldn't look at these lame old goats. 

Epstein. grooming girls, made the empty dreams of wrinkly rich men come true, in return for financial favors, until his time ran out.

Eating at the Hospital

Susan is back from a labyrinthian local hospital of countless forking corridors. She is okay.

The doctors kept on testing her, so she missed four meals in a row. Nothing by mouth.

I tried to feed myself. The hospital cafeteria food was inadequate. I bought two meals there and threw both in a trash can. 

I'm not choosy. I like canned hash. But everything I chewed in that cafeteria proved inedible except for a croissant. In most hospital food deserts, you can at least buy a banana or an apple. No such luck this time. 

Bison

The next No Kings Day is March 28.

I'm 91.  I've known four friends who had polio, but I never got it.

Sometimes I wear a black Antifa tee-shirt. My plan is to pull it on and walk in the street, leaning on a blackthorn.

Where the Hell is Barack Obama?

Where is George W. Bush? Has he heard what happened to Good and Pretti? 

Bush doesn't like fascism. He may not be smart or informed, but he's not a MAGA racist. Some voters like him. If he speaks up, he might make a difference.. 

Michael Wolf recently asked, "Where the hell is Barack Obama? "

Obama is the Gregory Peck of political actors. The minute Peck appeared on screen, you knew he was the protagonist. You didn't need exposition or a back story. He was what he was: tall, good jaw, trustworthy. 

Something has happened. The people of Minnesota, afraid of organized federal killers,  went into the street anyway. Political leaders have people they can follow.

I've Had It

This morning I blundered across a podcast on YouTube called "I've Had It." I suspect that it is big and famous.

Two salty women run  it. Their goal is to reach ordinary folks by talking like working people who cuss a lot. They regard the Democratic leadership as namby-pamby weaklings who need spine transplants. They don't like the oligarchy.

Explaining Trump

This morning I turned on the TV and saw a woman asking why on earth does Donald Trump want to invade Greenland? An invasion makes no sense.

In what universe does this woman live? Trump is nuts. That's why this ridiculous, prancing oaf does what he does.

We cannot support blood for oil, illegal coups, or another forever war.This president’s imperial ambitions represent a global threat as he pushes us closer to another world war. 

Nor can we sit idly by while an American city is terrorized by rogue bands of vicious agents.

Sonoma County residents who refuse to tolerate the Trump administration’s brazen attacks both at home and abroad are coming together for the No War! No ICE! Global Day of Action on Saturday January 17, at 4 pm.

There will be a program with live music and speakers, including congressional candidates: Audrey Denney, Eric Jones, Mike McGuire, Trevor Merrell, Mike Thompson, and Kyle Wilson.

New Goals

 Trump's new goal is to serve as acting president of Greenland. Also to be acknowledged as the true author of the novels of Willa Cather.

Execution

When a paramilitary force, the leader's thug army, executes a woman in the middle of the street in the middle of a crowd, that is fascism.

Denationalized

Trump has threatened to denationalize Rosie O'Donnell, born in New York. Experts have told us that it is not legally possible to denationalize  American citizens born in this country. They are protected by the 14th Amendment, signed by President Grant. 

Yet Trump has denationalized Renee Nicole Good. She won't be voting in 2026.

Trump's Plan

I watched two Canadian analysts discussing Trump's plans. They took turns pointing out that his decisions would not produce the goals he had set out etc. They found him baffling. We often see the same sort of careful analyses from American TV experts.  

Trump has no plan. He's nuts.

When Trump does, when not falling asleep on camera,  is run in circles, scream and shout and throw excrement in the air. He does have a goal, which is to be the center of attention every night at the dinner hour. 

Run

Trump is not going "to run" Venezuela. He will run his mouth. He'll spout 20 hours a day on the shifting topics dementia flashes up his creaking  spinal cord. 

His goal: to alter reality by blabbering.

Lost in the Excitement

The Supreme Court recently required President Trump to turn in to them vast numbers of financial records. He cannot appeal because there is no higher court. His goose may be cooked. One more reason to invade Venezuela.
