Zombie Republic

By mike flugennockSaturday - July 24th, 2021Categories: coronavirus, Health Care, liberty


California… prophet on the burnin’ shore… where Gavin Newsom is whipping the kids back to school so he can whip their parents back to work, where new cases of COVID-19 are up 165% in Los Angeles County at least partially due to brilliance like this:

“…Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva stated that the mandate will not be enforced as it is ‘not backed by science’ and contradicts the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which recommends only that the unvaccinated wear masks.”

— “COVID-19 cases rise by 165 percent in California since lifting of restrictions in June”, wsws.org 07.22.2021

The reputation of the LAPD and the L.A. Sheriff’s Department was already so deep in the toilet they couldn’t possibly make it worse — until the goddamn sheriff of L.A. County decided he was going to be their goddamn doctor, too.

A hundred and sixty-five goddamn percent.

Meanwhile, in Miami…

Meanwhile, in Miami, the pro-Cuban “democracy movement” consists mostly of pissed-off gusanos who want their grandfathers’ casinos back.

Weird how this just keeps happening

And recently, the gusanos’ scrawny-ass rallies in support of the US-instigated Cuban “color revolution” have featured large numbers of the “Proud Boys” fascist gang — along with other assorted Trumpsters and January 6th insurrectionists — and the gusanos don’t seem to give a rat’s ass one way or the other, likely because they’re a bunch of fascists themselves. It’s so obvious at this point that you could hang a lampshade on it.

Just as in the 1930s — scratch an anti-communist, find a fascist.

Low-Priority File

…and apparently, for the Washington Post and the Democratic Party, holding their President to account for unfulfilled campaign promises is lodged in a low-priority file somewhere between “Can’t Be Bothered” and “Tough Shit”.

For All Pigkind

By mike flugennockSunday - June 20th, 2021Categories: space

In the space of about two weeks, I’m hit with the news that trillionaire serial worker abuser Jeff Bezos has found someone willing to throw down $28 mil for a suborbital joyride with him — and that Elon Musk will refuse to recognize Earth laws in his gated suburbs on Mars. Doubtless Musk will have some Space Force grunts on-call to keep a lid on things out there.

I’m especially bugged that Bezos has chosen July 20 as his launch date; I’m sure he thinks he’s making some deep statement or something, but instead I’m just insulted somehow. Christ, 28 million dollars to go suborbital with Jeff Friggin’ Bezos. Bah, I’d rather ride Apollo 13.
