How can you see anything with your head that far up your derriere?
To our elected representatives in Congress, the opposite of progress, and all the other government decision-makers who tirelessly work all the angles, shake all the hands, kiss all the babies, make impossible promises, craft all the back-room deals, spend all our money on new and better ways to enrich their supporters and friends at our expense, concentrate your efforts on all the things that damage this republic, ignore the people who elected you, and cultivate the art of mendacity. It’s frustrating to see how you prioritize your interests over the nation’s well-being.
If we choose to appoint a committee like DOGE-Discovering Outrageous Government Excess – to examine every facet of your activities, we are well within our rights to do so. Your resistance and reluctance demonstrate that you have something to hide. I want to remind you and the 3 million people in our government that you work for us: we are your employer. It’s our duty as citizens to hold you accountable for your actions.

How can anyone with even half a brain or a room-temperature IQ not see that most information comes from the Corporate Media Complex (CMC), their astonishing complicity, and it is all trumpery?
– The Wuhan Virus –
– Biden is as sharp as a tack.
– The border is secure and closed.
– Marxism is the best hope for Merka’s future.
– It’s a constitutional crisis and an existential threat to democracy and the American way of life.
– “Dae wants to pit us all back on da plantation.”
– 21 million illegal invaders are good for the economy – “somebody gotta pick dem vegies and all dat cotton, cuz you ain’t puttin me back on no plantation.”
– “Entering dis country illegally ain’t illegal.
o The last two bullets are courtesy of Congressional Representative Jasmine Crockett, no relation to Davey. And you wonder why I append ‘the opposite of progress’ to Congress
o Did anyone else notice the semantic disagreement in the statement, ‘entering the country illegally is not illegal’? Jasmine is but one of the myriad intellectual elites we elected to lead this republic.
On January 20th of this year, a new president took charge of the republic. Even before he sat at the Resolute Desk, he faced a barrage of lies from every corner of this country. People call it politics; I call it partisan political payback, but it’s all trumpery!
The day #47 took office, the deluge of temporary restraining orders and court directives from partisan-aligned American Marxist Party judges commenced. The Left didn’t appreciate anything about this administration because they lost. It was the perpetuation, a continuation of their electioneering, a political war of epic proportions. The conflict between the partisan political parties escalated to the point where truth became just another archaic word banned from the Marxist lexicon, along with far too many others.
The battlefield is this country, and the US Constitution is now a doormat. I am absolutely amazed that when some cretin in our government wants something done, they can always find a way using ‘The Ends Justify the Means’, but when they decide against something or if it’s not in the interest of their partisan political party, they demand that their interpretation of the letter of the law be followed precisely.
You didn’t think we’d notice, did you.
You bloody hypocrites!
Merka’s Marxist judiciary is his adversary; he has the Corporate Media Complex spreading sophistry, polarizing the republic. There is a concerted campaign to win at any cost. Any Cost.
Nothing is sacred, there are no limits, and no rules. It’s all partisan political prevention and prevarication – continuing the belligerent election process in another arena. Every excruciating detail is being played on every big screen and every handheld device worldwide. The messaging is simple. Merka’s partisan politicians don’t care how it looks as long as they win. They don’t care who gets hurt in the process, and they will ruin this country in pursuit of their goal.
What a marvelous example for the world to see. Merka’s fundamental transformation to Marxism. I can see the headlines in the world news: “America the Great Satan, Collapses. Its Precious Democracy Causes Collapse!“
Their Ends Justify the Means!
– (But the Meanies are NOT Justified! ~ Editor)
Think about what that statement really means. It says that the final goal is so important that any way of achieving it is acceptable, even if it’s illegal or immoral. I want to emphasize the word ‘ANY’ in that sentence.
As I’ve used this phrase in many past articles, what’s happening is not about the soul of the republic but the power and privilege of partisan political parties. Our two-party partisan political system is killing this republic because it dictates the viable leadership choices. We, the people, are not just spectators; our role is crucial. I find no comfort knowing that the people we elected to represent us are using their positions to destroy this country as we watch stunned from the bleachers, only to serve that quest for power. Their extortion, our taxes, pay these miscreants and fund their farkakte schemes. Once in office, they abandon their promises, toe the partisan political party lines to remain electable, or find themselves irrelevant.
The crux of this congressional tournament is that we have lost control of the process. How and when it happened is immaterial. We enabled it, and we are therefore culpable for our irrational choices.
Voting is much like a credit card because you must eventually pay for your choice; it isn’t free. Our choices over the past several decades have proven irrational. We hire appearance over substance nearly every time. We fall prey to political hucksters and carpetbaggers. We must pay more attention to the consequences when we make these choices.
Have our partisan political choices been rational?
Would we be in this position if they were?
Here’s a pertinent question: Do you actually want to live in Russia, or Mongolia, or Poland, or North Vietnam, or North Korea, or any of the 46 other Marxist countries? That’s what the American Marxist Party (AMP) plans for us. Do you honestly believe Marxism will be different in Merka, just because some politician promised it would be?
I will guarantee that politicians in those Marxist countries made similar assurances. Every one of the 50-plus nations now living the Marxist dream was pledged to peace, prosperity, and freedom. How’s that working out for them? So far, everywhere Marxism has been tried, people have suffered failed predictions, economic inefficiencies, political and social repressions, human rights abuses, and it requires authoritarian implementation and control; but what the hell, let’s give it a try. It can’t happen HERE.
Maybe those politicians are like ours. They don’t bother to ask; they assume that political privilege gives them license. Politicians conveniently forget they are ‘servants’ of the people who elect them, which is far different than being our perceived masters.
Please, prove me wrong!
All of this is right in front of you, before your very eyes, yet you trust politicians – people who lie for a living and rarely fulfill their promises. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of world history knows the stories and their backgrounds, and you follow Judas into the garden. The big difference is that we don’t even get dinner or a kiss.
– This is an obscure biblical reference from the Last Supper, where Jesus and the Apostles met just before the crucifixion. Judas Iscariot kissed Jesus to identify Him to the Roman soldiers. Yes, dear friends, we are being betrayed. Oh. that’s right. The Marxist indoctrination camps (schools) no longer teach American history or a survey of religion, and only 30% of high school graduates are prepared for a college-level curriculum. 60% are functionally illiterate, barely proficient in lower-level reading and math, and these are the future voters and leaders of Merka.
The closest we’ve come in my lifetime is the man currently occupying the position, #47, and I’m still not entirely convinced that he’s what he alleges. That’s what a lifetime of political lies will do to a man. Trump represents our best hope to rescue this republic, but as I said, I’m skeptical, suspicious of him. But like 77.3 million others, I trusted him during the 2024 elections. Trump was the least evil of the choices.
– 152.3 million of the 245 million potential voters voted.
So far, he’s following through, but he’s facing monumental odds and impediments from the opposition – the ones you know as the Democrats; and now, AMP is self-destructing as they proceed to block his efforts. This partisan political party is in disarray, fractured by its own deceit. Much like my envisioned world news article, the Democrats – American Marxist Party – are melting down because liberalism is running amok. They’ve lost control of this Genie. It’s out of the bottle, and there’s no putting it back in.
News anchors and pundits sit like ‘armchair quarterbacks’ second-guessing every presidential decision as if they knew all the background, had all the information, had a cabinet of experts, and had 60+ years of business experience behind them. What we know is craftily curated and forcibly fed to us by the Corporate Media Complex, carefully coordinated to carry the same distortion across their entire continuum. You can spot the collusion in the similarity of the words and phrases of the releases; they are scripts.
When I started writing this article, #47 had been in office for about 100 days, during which time he’s made incredible contributions to this republic. He’s still moving forward, but is being deterred by the AMP, whose sole purpose is to change this country fundamentally.
AI – That’s a change that alters the core, basic, or essential nature of something. It’s a significant change that affects the underlying structure, principles, or characteristics of what is being changed. In essence, “fundamentally change” implies a significant, transformative alteration beyond mere adjustments or modifications, impacting the core essence of something. That essence, that core, is our society and the US Constitution.
Think hard, examine all the information sources you know, and find a prosperous Marxist country and society where the people are better off and enjoy prosperity and freedom.
I wish the Supreme Court would do its job and insist that all parties adhere to the intent of the Constitution, not only a munificently interpreted partisan version.
Somewhere in the not-too-distant past, we stopped relying on the law as a guide and began interpreting and approaching it indulgently. Jurists parse each phrase and the juxtaposition of each word as if they were cleaving a diamond or splitting an atom. When you begin that level of scrutiny, intent is lost, and speculative interpretation jumps in with both feet. No one will agree on the supposed meaning, so a compromise is struck, and expedience wins. After all, The Ends Justify the Means.
Fortunately for the republic, the framers of our constitution took copious notes during the developments and ratification discussions – the Federalist Papers.
James Madison
James Madison took detailed notes, saving his correspondence and other writings to provide background information for subsequent generations and supporting details for their monumental project. Constitutions had been written before, but none that synthesized the best of all of them and refined it to hold the government responsible and accountable to the people, not vice versa. It’s all available in the Library of Congress, our comprehensive repository of information.
The new prevailing legal sentiment: If the liberal interpretation doesn’t specifically forbid the action, it’s not illegal; absence is acceptance. The law does not explicitly forbid waterskiing on the irrigation canal being pulled by a pickup truck, so it must be OK. legally. Yes, I’ve witnessed it here in Phoenix, AZ. And. that was the excuse offered.
My claims and accusations in this article are harsh. We disregard our responsibilities as citizens for the convenience of conscience: “If we make the wrong choice, it’s not our fault.” We are ‘decidophobic’, as in afraid of making mistakes (Atelophobia) rather than fearful of actually deciding something; we avoid responsibility.
Our ends justify the means, too. Don’t they?
That’s the precedent set by our leadership. isn’t it?
There’s an alternative theory called ‘decision fatigue’. When we feel forced to make too many decisions throughout the day, we feel exhausted and begin making bad choices. Trumpery!
This could easily lead me down the psychology rabbit hole; I’ll forgo that temptation. Briefly, I believe psychology excuses bad personal choices by naming them. It’s an adjunct to the Massive Medical Monopoly (M3). I admit there is an abiding need for psychotherapy to diagnose personality disorders medically, but our tendency to find an excuse for bad personal choices has contrived the personal mental health industry of counselors, therapists, social workers, and psychiatrists to promote emotional well-being. It gives us the license to misbehave.
Projected revenues in the personal well-being sector alone should reach $40 billion, adding to Mental Health’s $7.2 trillion by 2029; as a reference, it was $5 trillion for 2024.
It’s OK. It’s all someone else’s fault. This industry allows you to insert or substitute any number of names or inanimate objects as responsible; it certainly is not you.
Personally, I am deathly afraid of combs. My therapist, Dr. Vinnie Testosteroni, PhD, MD, RSVP, ILBCNU, says it’s because I’m balding. He would know. He’s a credentialed clinician in androgenic alopecia and trumpery (male pattern baldness & bullshit). I blame the CMC, AMP, and all of the various and sundry partisan political actors for the stress that made me bald.
That, folks, is the entrance to the rabbit hole. Now you know.
To sum up, I take my responsibility as an American citizen very seriously. I’ve followed our continual decline with deepening interest and an escalating concern, noting our partisan political choices and their impact on our republic, the consequences of those decisions, and how those elected directly affect this society.
It’s all just common sense. If you hit your finger with a hammer, the resulting pain is a warning not to repeat that mistake; it is a simple life lesson. Yet we regularly choose people who damage this republic, echoing those sorry choices. Whether we are woefully learning deficient, abjectly ignorant, masochistic, or self-destructive remains to be determined, but any of these excuses or rationales is appropriate. The troubling part of this is that we should know better by now.
But, and here’s the big butt: as long as an excuse explains this behavior, we feel free to continue it. We’re absolved of personal and civic responsibility to wash-rinse-repeat. ad infinitum ad nauseum.
I’ve been pretty hard on everyone in this article. That was my intent. I’m quickly approaching the limits of my medications and patience. If we don’t make immediate changes, we can sit comfortably in the bleachers, cocktail in hand, and cheer the demise of the greatest country ever, at least for a time. But we will eventually be called to account for our inactions and blunders.

Charles R. Dickens was born in 1951, is a veteran of the Vietnam war, for which he volunteered, and the great-great grandson of the noted author, whose name he shares.
He is a fiercely proud American, who still believes this is the greatest country on the planet, with which we’ve lost control and certainly our direction. He grew up in moderate financial surrounding; we’re not rich by any stretch, but didn’t go hungry – his incredibly hard working father saw to that. As most from that era, he learned about life from his father, whose story would take too long to tell, other than to say that, he is also a fiercely proud American; a WWII and Korean war, veteran Marine.
Charlie was educated in the parochial system which, demanded that you actually learn something, and have capability to retain it before you advance. He attended several universities in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree, and chased the goose further to a master’s, and has retained some very definite ideas about education in this country.
In addition, Charlie is a retired blues guitar and vocalist – a musician. This was his therapy career. Nothing brings him as much joy as playing music, and he wishes that he could make a living at it… but alas… life goes on!
