Murder by Cop

    In the last few days America has been again pained by two well documented cases of "murder by  cop" of two "black" men.  In one case it was a popular man (Alton Sterling) who supported his family by selling CDs outside a small independent convenience store in Baton Rouge, La, He also provided security for the store, in exchange for being allowed to sell there.  A panhandler had been run off after he kept badgering him and customers. The panhandler called the local police and told them he was threatening people with a gun,  Two cops pinned him to the ground and then executed him.
  The next day a policeman in Minnesota stopped a well loved black man who worked as a cafeteria supervisor at a local school, Philandro Stephens. Police recordings indicate that the reason for stopping his car was that the driver had "wide nostrils".  The officer claims that this indicates that no racial motive was involved in this stop, just his wide nose.  Really?

Law and Order:Trump, Nixon, Hitler

    One of the recent events in the current (un)presidential campaign has been the proclamation by Herr Donald Trump that he is the "law and order" candidate.  This term was introduced into American politics by none other than Richard Nixon, the former president who resigned after facing impeachment.  When Nixon approached the Military about declaring martial law and arresting Congress, the Chiefs of Staff threatened to deliver him in chains to the floor of the Senate.  At the time of this happening my father was highly placed in the military with strong political connections, so he was aware of what happened. At the time Nixon was elected I happened to be socially acquainted with a highly placed Mafia member (I taught school with his girl-friend).  He told me that Nixon would be our last elected president (other mafia had different ideas and actually hated him).  I also knew the son of the lady who paid Nixon $10,000  weekly (delivered it from connections in Miami) before he was elected.
    It is also widely reported that Adolph Hitler vowed to establish "law and order" in Germany. Whether or not he actually used the term is subject of debate,  but the concept is and was attributed to him.  Of course, he had ABSOLUTELY no respect for law and order except  the law and order that HE defined.
   

Trump Replaces One Racist Symbol With Another

  In the debate over Donald Trump's use of a "poster" taken from an overtly Anti-Semitic website with a Star of David reminiscent of the stars worn by Jews in NAZI Germany, people have missed the fact that Trump, who was raised by a father who was an active member of the {reconstituted) Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, replaced the Star of David with a wink and nod to Klan members.  As a Southerner, I know that the Ku Klux part of the name for KKK means CIRCLE.  I have heard the term "dog whistle"  used to refer to symbolism intended to be for the knowing select few.  This is one example. 

Clinton Rope-a-Dopes Trump: What a Shock

   Bill Clinton has managed to show just how adroit the Clintons are by tricking dimwitted right wingers by distracting them from their attempts to circumvent the Constitution with an ex-post-facto law, something totally  forbidden in the Constitution.  Trump seems to hate the Constitution (proving his right wing credentials) as much as he loves being a thief. 

   Yes, North Korea loves the Ugly-American Trump.  Let him take his bimbos to visit Kim Jong un.  They are about his style.
