You know things are getting pretty much out of the realm of reality when even the comic strips start addressing the nation’s problems. The continued belief that the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen. If you want to look at elections that have been stolen, look at 2016 when the person that got put in the White House lost by over 7 million votes. That is very much a theft of an election.
So we have all the reality shows that focus on BigFoot, Aliens, and Ghosts, none of which can be proven by having actual evidence. People believe all that anyway, and while we are at it we can move to other unproven myths known as religion.
All of the minor myths are scary stuff to keep you awake at night or frighten children, but the last one is supposed to be true. The question is why is it any more true than the others, because books have been written about it, people have believed it and followed religious practices for centuries, what makes it different?
So God made the Heavens and Earth and has the power to destroy it all. According to the Bible he has done this at least once and the reason was not nearly as compelling as what is going on in the world today. Those folks were being a bit randy with lust etc, whereas today we have wholesale murder in the streets in places, the US being one.
We have people that are so sure they have the answers that everyone is to be brought to heel behind them and obey unquestioningly their brand of bull shit. We have a nation that is made up of 50 separate states that have lived for quite some time without the need to guard the demarcations between those states. We have nearly reached the point of having those lines guarded because of the absolute refusal of some state governors to cooperate with the federal government because their little hero did not make it into office. Each one of these rather juvenile individuals thinks he is a king in his own domain and does not have to answer to any authority because he is being prompted from the sidelines by that hero to be just as disruptive as possible to make things bad so that when the hero once more rises to power we can make it better and I will look so good. More Bull Shit.
The other issue with the religious aspect is that if God could destroy the earth or at least the creatures living on it and did so because they were being overly fond of one another why hasn’t he done it because we are killing one another. Think about it two world wars with the invention of the atomic bomb and the widespread ownership and use of guns today, killing not only those in Armies but children in schools, why has he not destroyed it all by now?

In Georgia 91 crimes or violations were named by a Grand Jury and charges were presented to the court against Donald Trump. No charges were found against the prosecutor for the state. So now we have the defendant getting the judge to find fault with the prosecutor and the prosecutor is the one on trial. Does anyone besides me see a problem here?
Is the judge in control of his courtroom or is the defendant? Would it be possible for the court to put the accused on trial or are there reasons this judge needs to be removed and one that can actually do the job be put in charge?
The same person is continuing to violate laws, manipulate courts and witnesses and in general be a pain in the ass and get away with it. He is predicting a “Blood Bath” if he does not get re-elected, and there will probably be one no matter which way it goes.
Now we hear that the Supreme Court has taken the position that it is the job of Congress to ban Trump. This is tantamount to showing cowardice in the face of the enemy and deserving of a Courts Martial and at the very least imprisonment, in the case of this bunch of weasels removal from the bench as they are not doing their job.
Trump is seeking to build an empire and he has somehow managed to bully or buy quite a few people of authority into the plan, hoping they realize that their days are numbered. When the dust settles they will be tossed aside like broken toys. The Kennedy clan was hoping for a dynasty with brother after brother taking the White House and Sons doing it after them. The Kennedy’s at least had the ability to get along with people unlike Trump that only seems interested in how much he can steal from folk.
Congress is not likely to ban him unless there have been some internal issues that have not been made public, we can hope. It would seem that for whatever reason our country has been truly crapped on. The attitude that we have presented to the rest of the world for the last 40 or more years has not been helpful and then to put an outright bigot in the White House that demonstrated contempt even to those that have served and fallen for this nation and called them losers did not help our image one bit. Perhaps we are reaping what we have sewn and our redemption will occur when Dapper Don does his final farewell.

The Automobile 

One commonly held misconception is that Henry Ford invented the automobile. In reality, the development of the automobile can be traced back to Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, a French military engineer who, in 1769, built a steam-powered tricycle for hauling artillery. Due to its steam-powered nature, not everyone accepts Cugnot’s invention as the first true auto. Instead, that distinction often goes to vehicles made by two Germans, Karl Friedrich Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, who — working entirely separately — developed their own gasoline-powered automobiles in 1886, in two different German cities. Benz actually drove his three-wheeled vehicle in 1885, and it is regarded as the first practical modern automobile and the first commercially available car in history. As for Henry Ford, his name is forever remembered in auto history for the Model T, which he mass-produced using an innovative moving assembly line, making automobiles available to middle-class Americans.
