Campaign ‘donations’ are bribes and the ‘Free’ World ain’t so free.
We have needed to eliminate a bunch of euphemisms from our political lexicon if we’re going to have serious debates about the future of the country. A new president, an ousted fascist predecessor, and an obstructionist opposition party that wants nothing to change despite losing a national election is a great time to take on this task.
So let’s get to it.

Department of War.
The U.S. has not played “defense” with its military since, in my view, the War of 1812 when the British attacked the young nation and burned it’s new capital to the ground. (And I wouldn’t be surprised if some expert on U.S. history didn’t write in and tell me that actually, the U.S. started that war too.) Just to anticipate criticism, I’m not counting the Civil War, which wasn’t a foreign invasion, and as for WWII, which U.S. mythology blames on the Japanese s

My eclectic news feed looks odd as the hours count down
to the end of the Trump administration. Westerners are
largely celebrating the exit of Donald Trump himself,
whereas with those I follow from areas targeted by US
imperialism, the man they re happiest to see the back of is
Mike Pompeo.
It looks very bizarre, as this part of
our weird collective adventure comes to an end, how Pompeo s
tenure first as CIA Director and then Secretary of State
were almost entirely unmarred by criticism from the
political/media class. This is after all a man whose word
The mention of the War of 1812 resounded in the halls of the Senate on the evening of January 6, 2021, a day that should have been one to rejoice that the nation’s voters’ word would be heard as each state electoral college vote would be read and a new president confirmed. So, what was the War of 1812? This is known as a conflict fought between Britain and the United States, each having allies taking sides.
In Europe, Britain, a naval power, and France, the land power were at war with each other with each one trying to cripple the economy of the other with blockades and confiscation of trade goods. In the meantime, the United States was trying to stay neutral having been at war quite recently with the Revolution. Britain declared orders to treat, as an enemy, any ships that tried to enter a French port without first stopping at a British port to pay a fee and get a license. America felt that Britain was attempting to control all of their commerce and that its independence

Watching the Biden transition team announce succeeding cabinet picks and administrative appointments as if they are changing the world one knighting at a time has been strange, to say the least. Even the Democrat cheerleaders at MSNBC aren’t buying the discount priced bureaucracy that Biden-Mart is currently selling. The favored media organization of the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign published a recent online story that was headlined “Lloyd Austin is Biden’s Shakiest Cabinet Pick Yet.” When MSNBC is questioning the judgment of the country’s leading Democrat, something is amiss, and right now, that “something” is that Biden’s cabinet nominations continue to mimic the minor leagues of a third Obama administration.
