When I was beginning my teenage years, I had a girlfriend whose family lived on Avenue Z in Brooklyn, not far from the Trump family housing project, Beach Haven, that Woody Guthrie lived in and wrote a song about. I used to visit her a lot and often saw the Trumps (though, alas, never Woody). They had bad vibes but everyone knew who they were.

I have indeed been periodically following the events happening in Russia right now, as President Vladimir Putin has moved forward to change Russia's existing Constitution..... Many in the Jew spew media have been frothing at the mouth about this "change" and some have made startling accusations that Vladimir Putin was making the changes so that he could change his status from "President" to Dictator"....
Since Washington’s double assassination of Iranian Quds Force leader, General Qasem Soleimani, and senior Iraqi PMU commander, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, on January 3rd, the White House and its mainstream media adjuncts have run an incessant propaganda campaign to try and demonize the Iranian military commander, calling him “an evil man” who had “the blood of Americans and Iranians on his hands,” as well as being “the world’s leading terrorist.”

So, Trump wants to add Middle Eastern nations (so far unspecified) to NATO so that the alliance can be more involved in the region. We need another obligation to go to war there like a hole in the head. That’s very peculiar for a Putin marionette who supposedly dislikes NATO, which by the way has grown already during his tenure. One always proposes larger missions for useless organizations. Such is the incoherence we’ve come to expect for the 45th occupant of the White House.

If I were Status Quo Joe, I'd be embarrassed to admit I was endorsed by California New Dem Ami Bera, a member of Congress so toxic that the California Democratic Party decided to not back him for reelection. After all, caught in an illegal campaign finance scheme, he let his elderly father take the rap and go to prison in his place! In fact, when you go through the list of members who've endorsed Biden, most are embarrassing-- Blue Dogs and New Dems from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party.

Chugging through America’s atherosclerotic rail artery. As I tap this Mrs. L and I are all aboard the Amtrak regional to the sump pump of the swamp, Washington DC. We just pulled out of Penn Station, the most antiquated and anachronistic and antediluvian and ossified and concretized shithole of shitholes. A virtual human detritus arcade.

The Old Dominion (the Commonwealth of Virginia) produced the most important members of our Founding Fathers and two of the most successful military leaders in history, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, but has somehow managed to elect a nutcase for its current governor. His name is Ralph Northam, and he seems to have many screws loose.

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution passed another milestone yesterday. Virginia became the 38th state-- and that's how many you need to make it the 28th amendment.

"Drömmen" av Henri Rousseau från 1910 (beskuren).Hör om drömtydaren Artemidoros av Daldis, antikens Freud, om hur häxprocesserna påverkade vår syn på hur drömmar kunde påverka människokroppen och om den fruktansvärda Maran som smög in om natten.Vi sover en tredjedel av våra liv, men trots det har våra drömmar sällan stått i fokus för historisk forskning, trots att de inte sällan påverkat våra liv. Först nu börjar olika forskarlag undersöka drömmarnas historia och hur olika vi förstått och tolkat drömmar under de senaste tvåtusen åren.

Questions About the Shoot-down of the Ukrainian Airliner in Iran
Was it the result of a US/Israeli cyber attack? How did a person know to be positioned, like the Mossad agents in position to film the World Trade Center towers, with his camera pointed at the exact position in the sky at the right moment to record a missile hitting the airliner?
