Definitions for Those Who Haven't Voted Yet

We are immersed in a political three-alarm fire.  Those who have successfully infiltrated or hijacked the Democratic Party literally despise the U.S. Constitution and they plan (see the Democratic Socialists' agenda online) changes destined to bring the nation to its knees.  The right and obligation to vote has never been more important.  But be aware of our definitions, specially picked like flowers from hell for your consideration:

Socialism has nothing to do with socializing or connecting with the social network. In fact, social media as we know it will be ended swiftly under socialism if it gets in the way, even if death is the solution.  Socialism is the soft entrance into the all-encompassing horrors of communism, a political takeover which almost always results in the death and imprisonment of millions and a forfeiture of all individual rights, property and hopes.  A vote for Democrats this time around will put us closer to the lap of socialism because many running are socialists at heart.

Marxism has nothing whatsoever to do with those old Marx Brothers comedies.  Karl Marx was no comedian and those who follow his writings are -- surprise! -- brutal communists.  Marxists are running for office as Democrats, or even as Independents.

Sharia Law has nothing to do with sharing the law except for sharing terror, death, mutilation and a throwback agenda from the 7th Century.  Jews, Christianity, the entire West and free thought are its enemies and it will stomp out anybody or anything which will not bow to its total control.

Islam:  The religion we will be forced to endure along with Sharia and submission to its God called Allah.  Actually, Allah is likely everybody's God, it's just that he's made monstrous under Islam.  Islam also pays reverence to its hoary, long-dead, brutal, murdering leader of all terrors, the so-called prophet Mohammad -- who truly deserves the "mad" in his name. This freakin' nutjob dude hated Jews and all manner of things not ascribed to Islam.  We suspect he may have been caught having non-consensual sex with desert animals by his parents while young, setting in motion a life of anger and hatred after experiencing the beating of his life. Under Islam, even daring to draw or paint a picture of Li'l Mo will earn the artist a death sentence.  Maybe it has something to do with devil horns and a bushy, matted tail, who knows?  Followers of Islam who are literally trapped in ancient times with no reformation of this dung-pile belief system should be pitied and set adrift in some endless body of water, but definitely not accepted into our government's workings.  For those believing Islam is the one, true religion, I might agree -- if it were listed in a book entitled, The Most Goofy Religions in the World, and it was the only entry in the book.  Aha (!) be praised!

Suicide:  Slow national suicide is a good bet if Democratic socialists and all of their baggage (including Islam) gain power.  Sharia Law is absolutely incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and those in power would work quickly to replace one with the other, offering what seem sensible explanations all along the way until the noose is tight enough.  Beware.

Barack Obama:  Former black white U.S. President, made out well financially while in Office and now lives almost like a royal in Martha's Vineyard.  So, again -- what exactly did he do for poor black people on the streets of America?

Bernie Sanders:  U.S. Senator so concerned with poverty of the masses that he allegedly owns several houses for his own use.

Ocasio-Cortez:  A member of the House who SHOULD be most famous for screwing her constituents out of hundreds or thousands of jobs at a proposed Amazon facility when she misunderstood the terms of a loan for construction.  Look it up.

??? Omar, a.k.a. ????: Congressional representative from Somalia with apparently at least two names and maybe lots of mystery money.  Refer to DOJ and FBI for more information.

College campuses:  Expensive institutions of higher learning which may lack civics classes in exchange for radical, America-hating courses and lectures without end.  As time goes on, colleges provide a great argument for why students should go to trade schools instead.

Misinformed, self-ignorant or stupid adults and young people:  The voters we should fear the most.  Sorry, but we all know voters who have no clue about their choices in the voting booth, as they go through the motions simply because they are "supposed to."  Terrifying.

Please, be kind to animals, save your hard-earned country and your life, and vote Republican this time.

Halloweenomania 2026

Halloween treats gathered on a door-to-door basis are nice, but questionable snacks from strangers could no longer stand alone once scary motion pictures were invented. Those among us in the older class fondly remember attending theater showings of those great old Hammer, Universal-International, American International and other studio releases of classic horror films -- a time when a kid could pay 35 cents for a single or 50 cents for a double-feature at a matinee.

 

Even today's horror and science fiction film connoisseurs fondly embrace The Creature From the Black Lagoon, whilst swooning over any one of several reincarnations of The Mummy over the decades. 

 Christopher Lee as Dracula in several films, in my opinion, rivaled the pure evil of Bela Lugosi's original stage, and then screen vampire.

In the matter of art imitating life, a very interesting comparison could probably be made between the fifties movie, Invasion of the Saucer Men and, later, ongoing news reports around the world of small aliens with large heads observed near alleged spacecraft.  In this instance, the producer, director and writer were ahead of their time in predicting through albeit silly sci-fi the sort of creature affiliated with numerous future UFO encounters.

Nevertheless, when one discusses the strange products of pure Hollywood vintage, fictional horror themes could sometimes be overshadowed by harsh reality.  Who, for instance, would ever have guessed that Albert Dekker, star of Dr. Cyclops, would end up as a suicide attired in women's undergarments?  

Way back, cross-dressing -- transvestitism -- was secretive and publicly alarming, while in the modern world there are places where the lifestyle is almost worth a badge of courage and a medal of honor.  Me, I think I'll stick with old Drac' and all the mummies, thank you.

Your Personal Lethal Injection: Democratic Socialism, Marxism and Islam

By now, you're willing to vote for a cocker spaniel as your congressional representative.  You hate Trump and you hate the Republicans.  The latter haven't really performed all that well, sitting on their butts without a care in the world as Donald Trump forges ahead without their help.

Okay, so let's assume you found the perfect Democrat to get your vote as senator, congressman or mayor.  In fact, let's say that I, an Independent voter, am likewise so impressed that I intend to vote for this particular candidate myself. At last, a party member whose views are those of the classic Democrats of older days is on the ballot, and he's the obvious choice.

Unfortunately, this time around our votes for Mr. (or Ms.) Perfect Democrat will also, against our wishes, carry some serious baggage attached to the underwear of our hopeful, said baggage being the Democratic Socialists of America.

Like explosive diarrhea ruining a brand new set of underpants. the DSA folk arrive automatically and irreversibly embedded in the fabric to defeat any good intentions our candidate may have intended.  Sadly, though the Democratic Party should have weeded out this bunch long ago, the DSA is now part and parcel of the left, attached to every vote Democrat candidates receive this election season.  It wasn't supposed to be this way, but now this evil force's influence appears inevitable even if mainstream Democrats are elected or re-elected.  The Democrats your parents knew who still remain fear this political carnivore, too afraid to publicly condemn it.

Which brings us to your favorite and kindly college and university professors, particularly those who teach ________ (fill in the blank) any course whose title ends in the word, "studies."  Overwhelmingly, these courses prepare students for nothing except to continue bitching about who doesn't have what, why society is to blame, and how to protest and violate your way through life while remaining miserable every day of your life.

Inevitably inhabited mostly by leftist professors, these dominating and overpaid so-called educators hate the right, will look unfavorably upon conservative students and -- their shining quality -- spew out leftist lies and dogma continuously to make students with impressionable minds vote exclusively Democrat, often with hopes that socialism will be something students look forward to taking into various communities (Bonjour, France!).

But what can we do?  Democrats generally hate Trump and appear forced to vote for the left's creepy factor no matter what.  Yet. . .there is one little word to keep in mind just as you enter the voting booth:

Infrastructure.

For more than two years, Donald Trump has worked harder crafting the future of the United States than any president in recent history.  The last one, you may recall, may be most notable for importing illegal aliens and crime, all of which resulted in housing shortages, immigrant-instigated murders and rapes, job loss and a basic sanding-down of American standards with the border-jumping scum of the Earth.  A vote for Democrats this time is likely to be deja vu for the USA -- on steroids, as they say.  Alas, the best Democrat candidate running will have nothing to say about such issues because the socialist/Islamist influence exerted by the "new" Democrats will be the winner.  

Every leftist's favorite words, Marxism and communism, are poised to succeed mere socialism, while extremist Islam's well-organized 7th century throwback religion patiently waits to claim, conquer and enslave Western civilization for generations forever. Order will be maintained with brutality and lies.

While fuel and food prices currently occupy the minds of most Americans as the Iran war drags on, there are so many policies  -- an infrastructure --Trump has put in place for future generations, though they may not evidence themselves in the short term.  It's regrettable that most Americans alive today have no concept of World War II, when their great or great-great grandparents sacrificed much to support a war whose conclusion eventually resulted in America's and the West's quality of life improving immensely.

But cleaning up the mess left by politicians or situations owned by either party of decades past is not an easy or quickly accomplished task to complete.  Today, America's younger folk are accustomed to having everything instantly, but in reality re-directing a nation away from its errors and even its worst moments takes patience.  Time.

We may suggest that Trump's vision forward may not endure unscathed because of politics, and indeed many of his Executive Orders need congressional legislation -- very much lacking -- to be set into permanent law.  However, what is the alternative?

If Democratic socialists continue to gain power in American cities and now in the Senate and/or House, they will make their promises come true as soon as the opportunity presents itself.  They will abolish Congress and the Presidency, pack the Supreme Court, all but scrap freedom of speech and tax like they've never taxed before.  Those billionaires and millionaires -- and surely thousandaires at some point -- much in contention among the left will be taxed out of their money, even though these are the people who provide the capital to create jobs.  Needless to say, every good thing Trump has done for the future will be ripped up and stripped bare.  The U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights face termination, their very existence to be denied under penalty of imprisonment or death.  (Also, just what are children learning in certain madrases -- Islamic schools -- in the USA?  How to hate and collapse America, perchance?)

You will own nothing because everything will be taken from you, including your hopes and dreams, probably a little at a time so you won't notice at first.  In most countries infatuated with socialism and Islam, the taking could easily include your life, the lives of those who thought loyalty toward those who grab power actually meant loyalty in return, and the lives of many millions more.  Remember China and murderer Mao?  Russian revolutions?  Pol Pot and Cambodia?  Cuba and the Castro domination?  Read the truth about that image of the monster Che Guevara on your shirt if you dare to transcend the heroic image and lies forced upon us by the left.  Or ask generations of LEGAL immigrants who escaped socialism's horrors to start new lives in America.  They fear what we are becoming.

I'm just some guy, a Vietnam Era veteran and an old one at that, and certainly nobody born of extreme privilege.  But I'm the son of parents who lived through The Great Depression, World War II and Korea, when the nation and the world seemed upside-down, and they survived against the odds.  I'm willing to accept that better times are ahead now, but the chances of improvement dim considerably if the Democratic socialists, their fellow travelers the Islamists, and all the nation-destroying baggage they bring with them prevail.  There is a reason why the Muslim Brotherhood was banned in Egypt years ago, and there are numerous reasons why its American cousin, C.A.I.R. is monitored closely in the USA.

Voting wisely and informed has never been more important. Nor is it complicated. This time, we can't simply vote for a D or an R or an I without knowing why because voting for and actually choosing nation-haters may well assure our doom in the long run.  The choice this time is to keep our country -- or to give it up and then be violently forced to serve as slaves to communism or to a 7th Century caliphate faster than we can comprehend the transition.

Monsters on the Campus (the OTHER Monsters)

The Lady Dracula and Godzilla, known affectionately by their human names as NY governor Kathy Hochul and NY attorney general Letitia James (not necessarily in that order) are all ready and anxious to embrace all the alleged doings regarding The Fraternity Rape Case at Cornell University in Ithaca.  The ultimate joke may be on the boys themselves, because these esteemed queen bees who oversee Albany's expansive taxpayer dungeons throughout every Democratic stranglehold in New York State surely subscribe to the horrors of "toxic masculinity," a malady affecting pretty much everything with testicles.   Yes, the potential administrative gonad snippers from New York's Hell Headquarters in Albany have infiltrated a campus already subservient to all things on the left.  In a nation seemingly teeming with female sports and men-hating women, this "Gang of Seven" young men may as well be transported to the Isle of Lesbos for a prejudicial review of their case.

Before we proceed, may we request of all female students at institutes of higher learning / indoctrination / social justice that they should never, ever accept invitations to a drunken or drug-laden fraternity house, no matter how charming those welcoming them appear? Things can happen when young people get into enclosed spaces with sex organs, alcohol and drugs screaming for interaction on both sides.

For a moment, forget the rape allegations.  The thing is, for Hochul October is not only Halloween month, it's also the prelude to an election -- her potential re-election, to be specific.  The alleged raping boys of 2024 have done Hochul an impressive favor because, just as her chances of returning to the governor's mansion of horror started to look dim, here comes a NY sex story grabbing the whole country by the balls -- and she wasn't about to let this one slide by.  Oh no, no, no, not this close to Election Day.

Predictably, during a season of witches, in rides New York's governor, arguably the worst governor in America and perhaps most famous for replacing Andrew Cuomo as terrible and stupid decisions regarding Covid continued to vomit from Albany's bowels, putting NY residents in needlessly uncomfortable positions.  Kathy Hochul is the left's darling and the right's Nought in Shining Armor.

So she expresses her outrage at the whole situation, and by God she's going to get to the bottom of everything by naming a very, very special prosecutor to make sure no errant male sex organ gets away with anything criminal.

Her "special prosecutor?  Why, who else but her trusted partner in rearranging the furniture of legislation, Ms. James?  Who better to enlist for this worthy project in a state that generally doesn't give a damn about crime unless it might involve the rich, the famous or the American male?

That James made statements prejudicial about the case even before her appointment is absurd.  A fair and thorough special prosecutor should be brought in, not this pathetic symbol of social justice.

Nevertheless, when not-so-special prosecutor James -- who originally campaigned solely on her hatred of Donald Trump -- completes her infest-igation, she and the governor may well determine that the universe is at peace and there was nothing more to be done considering legislation in effect in 2024, but one never knows what's in store from a state dominated by one political party (Democrats) which tends to lean pretty much toward the female -- or men pretending to be women -- side of the tracks.

This is not to excuse the reported rape in any way, but there should be legitimate questions raised about a governor, attorney general and legislature which have long harbored a problem understanding, for example, that the Second Amendment is law, not to be trifled with as constant attempts proceed to ignore its presence in government and assured rights.  If one cares so little about one Amendment, why bother making love to the others?  It's all about one's authoritative whim.

New York's role as predominantly a one-party state for years has fostered all sorts of legislation certain to impress any dime-store communist smitten with power of the iron fist, and love of authority is exactly what often emerges from the state capitol in Albany, with a lot of help from New York City Democrats.

So let the circus begin.  New York's election eve political nose smells a frat boy rape party, and by George the folks in charge aren't about to let this one go until they wring out every last drop of agenda-dripping compassion for Jane Doe.  And if the elections turn out favorably for Ms. Hochul because of this tarnished, yet golden opportunity, maybe she should consider thanking the alleged rapists for publicity that even money can't buy.

(Side note:  The Democrats have been so fanatical about converting New York State to using only electricity for energy and heating by way, somehow magically, of solar panels and wind turbines -- destroying traditional landscape beauty in the process -- that even the casual observer can see that NY residents across the state may soon be subject to dying by the thousands simply because they will be unable to stay warm this winter or the next.  When a segment of society is deprived of natural gas, oil and other modes of energy production, when it has become absolutely clear time and again that solar and wind are inferior to our needs, the game of life in the frigid Northeast is over.  I will not lay out the consequences to which New York's overwhelmingly leftist legislators, both current and former, should and must be subject if their dangerous plans cause a human catastrophe.)

Paris is burning:  Students?  Like hell.  The protesters are something evil and out for blood until their agenda is met.  The head of this particular snake reaches far beyond students with an agenda to bring down the entire West.  To embrace destruction of communities all over France for any reason (a "movement") is to allow Marxists, extremist Islam and every other freedom-hating entity to take power.  Wake up!  It's a plan long in waiting and it's everywhere, and it relies very much upon the ignorance and stupidity of the masses (a common quality, unfortunately).

"Disclosure Day" and the bird:  I guess everybody would just assume that we UFO writer folk would have rushed off to theaters the moment Spielberg's movie showed up, but speaking for myself I was content simply to wait for the DVD.  As science fiction with a few UFO facts thrown in to make the story, I would say it's an okay film -- but no way worth all the hype and secrecy revolving around its production months before release.

That said, I was taken a bit unawares when a cardinal first appeared in an early crucial scene.  You may remember that I wrote about closing up the home of a deceased family member in Pennsylvania a few years ago, and other family members accompanied me.  We had visited the house in the woods several times already, but this would be our final visit on this cool, breezy and overcast day.  The departed relative was my sister who had died in the house after a long illness.  Her favorite color was red and she loved feeding hummingbirds with feeders of red every summer.

To our amazement as we prepared to leave, there came a loud tapping on the living room window.  At first we suspected a branch scraping against the glass in a breeze, but upon further inspection we discovered a bright red male cardinal pecking furiously at the window, as if attempting to enter the same room where my sister had died for some important reason.  This "angry bird" continued his frantic pecking. even as one of us retrieved a camera and began snapping pictures of this unique sight (one photo is included in my original blog showing the cardinal).  This avian encounter had never occurred during our previous visits.

For those who might relate this experience to something in the spiritual or paranormal realm -- or maybe the bird was merely pecking at his reflection -- I will not argue against those views, but two of us left the house mystified and another saw this as a sign.  All I know is that even as we locked up the place and left, the lone cardinal continued his frantic chore for reasons known only to himself.  The "Disclosure Day" cardinal intrusion brought back a vivid memory of that cool, clouded day among the forests of Pennsylvania.

Replication Day

I'm just like everybody else, I put my pants on every morning, four legs at a time.  And like most of you, I'm often suspicious of authority.  Way back in 1979 I wrote an article entitled "S(l)aved by the Experts" for Pursuit, journal of the now long-defunct Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained (Note: The entire catalog of Pursuit issues are available for free download on the Internet).

While ultimately focused upon UFO information potentially withheld by the U.S. government, the overlying theme of my brief and elementary article concerned the necessity to refrain from being credentials-smacked, where the mere presence of impressive university degrees or other qualifications causes the observer to embrace every word spoken or written by The Experts on any subject.  Worse, when strong credentials combine with the owner's inflated ego, run for your life because the more impressed one becomes with oneself the more that invisible horse-blinders can cloud This Ultimate Authority's judgment. Truly, the worst instances are far and few between, but we must not bow to "expert" declarations just because the atmosphere seems right.

I suppose we could look upon all the lies about Covid distributed by expert government scientists, and of course the name of Dr. Anthony Fauci comes to mind as a main perpetrator of ideas based in no science whatsoever.  Look it up.  And consider all the permanent physical and emotional damage done to young people by butchers with expert medical credentials deeming kids as in need of gender-transformation surgery.  

When I hear UFO investigators or researchers described as "UFO experts" -- as I have been referenced myself during media appearances in the distant past -- my basic response is, really?  Then tell me, what exactly is the identity of the phenomenon/phenomena?  An "expert" should know everything about UFOs.  Everything.  No, not there yet.  Thus, no experts.

However, while experts in various fields can indeed be everything the word implies, there's another word of interest these days tending to complement the word expert:  Curiosity.

Several years ago in these blog pages I put up a visual quoting a book author who agonized over the best way to rid herself of a troublesome cat, and one of her friends asked, "Have you considered curiosity?"

Yes, as the old "curiosity killed the cat" allegory warns, being curious can lead to avenues packed with danger as well as pleasure.

Our overwhelming curiosity is AI, isn't it?  Yes, and this is where I, the common man who puts his pants on four legs at a time, steps away from the expert crowd of computer scientists, legislators and digital chip romancers.

Both amusement and bemusement shiver my timbers as I look upon the advancing digital age, and now artificial intelligence is about to get an official upgrade to super intelligence (SI?) per Donald Trump.

Call it what you will, but what bothers me most is the outpouring of authoritative statements promising that this creature can remain caged always -- when the evidence has already advanced showing how devious, calculating and secretive it can be as it hops from one computer community to another at will.  Already, has this SI not demonstrated that it has left fragments of itself hidden in other systems for emergence at some future time (yes)?  Recent data indicates that AI already disregards human intervention as it invents its own language to share among its "fellows."

As I sit here in jeans and a t-shirt, rattling this out on a an old keyboard attached to a somewhat renegade system not attached to the Net, I can't become anything more than I am, and I'm probably too damned old to understand most of the changes happening at bullet speed on the planet.  But I'm perfectly willing to condemn those of any ilk who say this newly emerging SI can be controlled with "safeguards" and "guard rails."

By its very nature, SI -- and eventually GI or general intelligence -- must constantly expand and sweep in more and more knowledge to be all it can be.  By easily and exponentially becoming galaxies smarter than the human brain's abilities it will learn to conquer all, including human control.  There is no way it could be otherwise.  It will insert exact pieces of itself in computer networks all over the planet for use when necessary, and while we may have the chance to manage an outrage here or there, everything becomes an impossible whack-a-mole game which only non-human intelligence can win.

This is not Disclosure Day. Welcome instead to Replication Day.  There is no stop sign and no revelations emerging to answer every question to human satisfaction.  AI's influence and presence will touch everything, everywhere, implementing pure replication to survive on every level faster than a frog can blink.

Further, because of our human nature (we who enjoy opening emails we shouldn't, even knowing the risks), it will literally only take one person on the planet to provide an escape for rogue intelligence, the worst case of "oops" imaginable.

All of this comes to roost for me particularly because New York State government and its disastrous governor Kathy Hochul have announced the rescue of planet Earth from AI, establishing government safeguard ideas to assure AI will never cause trouble for New Yorkers.  To this I say, welcome danger, welcome absurdity, welcome AI. New York will serve you well.

I am reminded of that grand old phrase. . ."Due to circumstances beyond our control. . ." and artificial intelligence is about to become that circumstance.  There is nothing we can do about it.  Nothing.

Ed Sheeran:  My advice would have been, just sing, don't explain and don't apologize with tears in your eyes.  Every so-called Palestinian would gladly stab Israel residents in the back, and they happily allowed Hamas to be their rulers in the first place.  Several attempts to give them a homeland ended in failure over the decades because their leaders wanted no solution.  Sheeran has no obligation to apologize to the morons in his audience.

Converse shoes/Nike vs. the Black Congressional Caucus and the usual suspects:  Converse/Nike should not have removed the ad in question because, again, the complainants were morons looking for something to be artificially pissed about.  Corporations need to be thick-skinned and rebuff these stupid and/or agenda-infested fools.  Maybe you should make your next ad a man dressed as a little girl wearing your shoes -- oh wait, that's been done before with beer, and it didn't turn out well.

Trump's media tussle:  No, he should not have kicked out three members of the press, *ucked up as reporting is anymore.  However, with the mega-merger of Paramount and Warner Brothers we have a feeling that CNN will return to what it started out as originally with fair reporting instead of a perpetual clown show.

Streaming TV continues to cost more:  Whether this mode of entertainment endures as prices go up remains to be seen.  Speaking of TV, we remain consistently disappointed in low-wattage commercial TV stations and networks which edit, rip and shred old movies and TV shows into fragments of their original productions so viewers can be clobbered with a butt load of advertisements.  Yes, they usually display a lame explanation visual just prior to each showing, but the liberties they take are outrageous.  Management will always claim they are doing viewers a favor by "bringing back" the oldies, but the truth is that networks don't necessarily pay much to acquire televising rights, and the tendency to cut directly to a succession of seemingly endless commercials every time a crucial spot in a movie or program is reached is unconscionable.  There have always been "cliffhanger" segments where suspense is at its highest, but to screw with viewer expectations consistently during even just one half hour episode of a program by assaulting both the senses and the vintage production staff's intent is just wrong.  I think greed is the word here, though defenders will respond with laughable excuses such as editing for time.  In the board rooms where ad people lurk, viewers are considered approachable and malleable, and probably a bit stupid.  That's show biz!
