Trump is Trump, not (favorite boogieman here).

got all frothy and played the Hitler card.  It's 1933 all over again.  So I sought to soothe his tortured soul.  Well, kind of.

"Trump is Hitler!" "Hitler is Trump!" "Putin is Hitler!" "Saddam is Hitler!" "Gaddafi is Hitler!" "Netanyahu is Hitler!" "Martha Stewart is Hitler!" "Hitler is Rosie O'Donnell!" "Rosie O'Donnell is the Profit Mohammad!"  "Tony Blair is Richard Prior!" "Dick Cheney is Darth Vader!" "Hugo Chavez is Nancy Pelosi!" "Nancy Pelosi is Lou Reed!" "Colonel Sanders is Linda Ronstadt!" "Big Bird is Larry Wide Stance!" "Le Pétomane is Secretariat!" "Up is down!" "Left is right!" "Hitler is Hitler!" "The sky is falling!"
Give me a break.
Trump is an immensely successful real-estate developer, brand merchandiser, reality-tv showman, New York celebrity complete w/NY bluntness, a former celebrated man-about-town turned family man in business with his kids, a New York version of the Waltons (both the ones on the mountain and the ones who own Walmart). Horatio Alger from the Big Apple. A larger-than-life super achiever. He's rude and crude and he doesn't do "tone". His impolitic bluntness is the antidote to Kool-Aid-saturated political correctness. He's the reality-television version of Elon Musk. You love him or hate him (envy and the alpha-male instinct). He's authentic and he's meteoric. He's a builder, not a destroyer, not a killer.
Lose the hysteria. You wish you were Donald Trump, same as you might wish you were Hugh Hefner. It's okay. We're all human. We understand secret love.

re censorship at antiwar.com

Really, Thomas? Who is the drama queen here? You're embarrassing yourself with this name calling. My comment disappeared. What am I to think, you're on a coffee break? So I posted the link to my backup, my all-but-invisible, low-traffic,... make that no-traffic,... blog. The "rules" you cite give the Jews a free pass on their complicity in the Zionist project. It's ok to criticize Zionism or Israel, but not the Jews that make their crimes possible. That appears to be the rule, and it amounts to Antiwar.com caving to Jewish/Zionist intimidation. It may be discretion -- as in "discretion is the better part of valor" -- but absent the lethality of bullets-and-bombs-combat, it's cowardly. It was cowardly then, as it is cowardly now. That said, it ***IS*** Justin's website and he gets to decide on when "discretion" -- strategic restraint -- is called for. I've had this issue since before you were moderator. Someone Jewis...

Right to exist, right to self-defense.....not!

The following is a post I made to The Algemeiner, an online Jewish publication, in response to "Golda Meir was no J-Streeter", http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/09/08/golda-meir-was-no-j-streeter/#comment-4474211. Like many Jewish publications The Algemeiner has a limited tolerance for the truth when the truth is critical of Israel and its supporters, and so, not surprisingly, the comment was deleted by "moderation". I reprint it here for your consideration. ************************** Make no mistake, I’m an American and a Jew. For those of you thoroughly infected with the Judiasm-destroying poison of Zionism, here is the antidote to your Kool-aid dreams. Drink deeply and wake up to reality. We often hear the phrase “Israel’s right to exist” and along with it, “Israel’s right to self-defense.” Hear them endlessly, by propagandists who repeat them endlessly. But endless repetition does not make a thing true. The phantom “legiti...

Sunshine on the Suck-ups

In response to an article -- "a splendid little war could end Trump's presidency" --  by Jim Jatras https://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/a-splendid-little-war-could-end-trumps-presidency-/ Jatras is a perfect example of the comprehensive cluelessnesss of the political class. Here, on display is the reason US foreign policy has been a flat out disaster for the last thirty years. Generations in the echo chamber of foreign policy "expertise", where the rule is bobble-headed yes-man servility and craven obsequiousness to the interests of the 1%, has lead US foreign policy to a place where an enforced and self-reinforcing notion of "expertise" is in fact zombified incompetence. Trump is in the big chair. That Jatras cannot see him except through the lens of "a shallow, superficial, unqualified Twitter-addicted unstable personality who never should have been allowed into the Oval Office..." clearly indicates that a war for the definition of ...
