Sunset at Long Beach, WA

Two articles from Consortium News that should remind us all that the United States is NOT a democracy.

Jumping up and down about election results not going their way is one example -

Venezuela: As US Leaders Call Fraud, US Observers Endorse Results

July 30, 2024

Western media appeared as eager as the U.S. government to undermine the elections in Venezuela and agitate for political strife, writes Alan MacLeod.

And the other is a reminder that in US capitalism, it's the ruling class that picks its middle management -

July 30, 2024

Nat Parry reflects on a Democratic theme — which Biden raised in his withdrawal announcement last week — that their party will protect democracy from Donald Trump.

 

 

Peaceful times at Long Beach, WA.

Maduro wins re-election in Venezuela.

And to no surprise, the US capitalist ruling class is upset.

One more week of vacation.

So far I'm liking taking two weeks off at a time.

It goes fast though. 

But still better to make the most of what you have - as my Father used to say.

Thank you Garland Nixon.

He summarizes the current state of American politics completely.

So to all those who up until this moment were advocating for Biden in 2024 ...

... Go fuck yourself and get lost.

This was a pathological liar and bigot, who took money from the rich and powerful and advocated for policies that wrecked both this country and the planet for over 50 years.

An video that's as informative as it is depressing.

Kind explains a lot about Trump, the CIA, Tech Companies, etc.

I wasn't aware a 'traditional' recipe had HFCS.

But here it - allegedly - is.

Note: glucose-fructose syrup is another term for HFCS.
