One question to the idiotic 41% out there: "Are you happy now?"
Some tears, some laughs, and the truth about the threat we are living under....
Jimmy knocked it out of the park by just being himself. Our area is ruled by the Prince of Sinclair, so I had to resort to the internet to see Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The guy that founded Sinclair is one, David Deniston Smith, and here are a few lines from his WIKI page: "He devised a plan for "selling pornographic videos in Baltimore's red-light district during the 1970s..... In 1985, WBFF (then affiliated with Fox Broadcasting Company) was rebranded, with two other stations, as "Sinclair"..... In an August 1996 prostitution sting, Smith was charged with committing an "unnatural and perverted sex act" (oral sex) with a sex worker in a Sinclair company vehicle as he drove on the highway."
Question: Is anyone who chooses to be in TRump's orbit remotely normal?
Here's another WIKI quote: "Smith met with Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election year, in which he told Trump, "We are here to deliver your message." Royal f-ing fascists. NO KINGS! See you in the streets.
Analyst consensus ratings on Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBGI) vary, but most recent analyses indicate a consensus rating of "Hold". This suggests that investors should generally maintain their existing positions in the stock rather than buying more or selling off their shares. Google.
According to AI : As of the last reported data for late August/early September 2025, there were approximately 3.18 million shares of Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBGI) shorted, representing about 8.16% of the company's public float, with a "days to cover" ratio of 6. This signifies a recent increase in short interest, which suggests a negative sentiment from investors regarding SBGI's future performance.
I remember when David Deniston Smith reassured Donny Toddler that Sinclair would sure be happy to offer naked propaganda services. They can all fuck off.
By now its clear to the world that Trump is clinically insane, and yet Republican operatives have vested in him more power than any president has ever had. Rather than contain his worst impulses, they have opted to obey and even encourage him in his quest to have his fairy tale idea of the world become reality. What is resulting is a purgatory of all the world's crises being rushed to full fruition simultaneously. When Nero fiddled, only Rome burned.
The Administration was never elevated for skill, integrity, or experience. They were chosen because they would nod when told, sneer when ordered, and parrot whatever falsehood the moment required. Credentials meant nothing; loyalty was everything. In place of statesmen, we got lackeys. Instead of leaders, we got frauds. Sycophantic liars, hand-picked to serve a demented felon.
History, assuming there is any, is not going to look favorably on us. We basically are allowing an incompetent buffoon to steal our democracy out from under us. It's time for fight or flight.
The Enlightenment was not a moment. It was a voice—clear, defiant, and dignified.
We have not lost its ideals. We have lost its music.”
The poem comes in the form of a blessing—like rapture breaking on the mind.”
—Kunitz, echoing Dionysus in the syntax of Apollo.
There is a language that once braided reason with rhythm. It spoke in the tongue of Jefferson and Douglass, of Twain and Angelou. It could argue with precision and still leave room for awe. It could name injustice without losing its dignity. It could persuade without spectacle. That language is dying.
Today, many Substack writers—well-meaning, well-read—speak in fragments of that tongue. They wield critique like a scalpel, but forget the ritual of invocation, the asking beyond telling., They offer data, outrage, and urgency, but lost their benediction. Their sentences are sharp, but bloodless. Their arguments are sound, but soulless. They have inherited the Enlightenment’s skeleton, but not its breath.
Apollo’s Scalpel, Dionysus’s Flame
Reason is a scalpel. Beauty is a flame. We need both to cauterize this wound we have created.
Apollo holds the scalpel—god of clarity, form, and radiant thought. Dionysus carries the flame—wild, ecstatic, and creative. The Enlightenment was Apollonian in its structure, but it sang because Dionysus whispered beneath its breath.
Today, we have inherited Apollo’s grammar but lost Dionysus’s song. We speak in outlines, not incantations. We argue, but we do not dance.
The poet’s tongue bypasses the gatekeeper's logic. It enters through the back door of the soul. It does not prove—it reveals. It does not persuade—it remembers.
A Benediction
Brink Lindsey once wrote that a successful cultural response must be prophetic—a condemnation of worldly emptiness and a call to a narrower, more difficult, but infinitely more rewarding path. That path begins with language. Not just what we say, but how we say it. Not just the argument, but the cadence.
Rainer Maria Rilke
“The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.”
—A whisper from Dionysus, cloaked in prophetic cadence.
Perfect, William. Map's from 1940, and the notes below it are very informative. This is how they start: "This map illustrates "The American Technate," a radical geopolitical proposal by a radical organization based on pseudo-scientific economics and authoritarian, nationalist politics."
Musk's maternal grandfather belonged to this movement, Joshua N. Haldeman. Elon never met him, but his mother probably worshiped him and passed it on. He was another g-damn South African racist. TRump is on board with the Technate and loved letting more white South Africans into our country.
IIRC TTrumps grandfather was a Neo NAZI that emigrated from Canada to South Africa, and that his father was a Neo NAZi, and infatuated with Werher von Brauns book
P)roject Mars, a Technical tale. In the book the fascist leader of Mars underground colony as the Elon. His mother was even a more fanatic NAZI than his father.
It's been a few years since I've been to Chicago, but I'm pretty eager to see National Guard deployed there. They did such an excellent job of picking up and bagging trash in Washington, and my recollection is that Chicago didn't have the cleanest streets I'd ever encountered.
Laughing out Loud or LOL. A good job for the national guard. 40 years ago, I knew a dude who was a little off, the only job he could find was as a driver for a senior transportation program, a non profit and it didn't pay much, but he was a Sergeant in the National Guard.
Thom, this sounds extremely bad and it is. However both HCR and Robert Reich see light at the end of the tunnel as Americans are fighting back. Trump may have overstretched himself as even MAGAts are mad at him and RFK Jr. As a Canadian, I can only hope they are right.
Thom did an awesome job of describing what seems best described as trickle-down disempowerment. Once you and I lose our right to vote tyrants out of office, we shall experience peonage. It is crystal clear that Trump and his ilk do not have a compassionate bone in their body. They have insatiable egos, and live for dominance, not to govern but to rule.
I still wonder whose useful idiot Trump is. I say that because he is clearly suffering from dementia, and he was never the brightest bulb in the chandelier. When Trump and I first met, at 2AM in the Trump Tower garage back in the mid-80s's, he came across as a feckless nepo - like some of my cousins. While today, he likely views himself to be the most powerful man in history (like Caesar, Alexander, Constantine, etc.), it is unlikely that he alone is master of the universe. So who is it behind the Oz curtain that wants to be master - Musk, Putin, or some other multi-billionaire most of us have never heard of - yet?
Tomonthbeach, let us be honest. The Oz behind the curtain is non other than Netanyahu. He is assisted by Zionist/Jewish billionaires in the U.S. and Israel.
Forget Putin. He and Trump never have been on the same page. Putin will do whatever he thinks is best for himself, and he does not need the Orange Faced Moron for any help. In contradiction to the misinformed shouting in the U.S. about the Russian economy being on the verge of collapse because of sanctions and the war; the uncomfortable truth is that the Russian economy is expanding faster than the U.S. economy.
Trump's main concern as per the war in Ukraine is: Which side currently seems to be "winning?" Because Trump always wants to be on the side of a "winner," never a "loser." This is why he has completely flipped on Ukraine. It now seems as though Putin made a military miscalculation and the Ukrainians could possibly drive out the Russians. Although this is doubtful.
Mr. Solomon. Not at all. Just an observation. You, on the other hand, can be accused of being biased because you are jewish. By the way, although I am a theist, non believer in a living god; my family contains both jews and christians.
Krasnov thinks he is winning. He and all this groupies are delusional. The walls are caving in all around them and they simply cannot see it. Drump is calling for a Nobel for stopping wars he has only encouraged. The Chosen One is rising and by the end of the year nothing of the old world will be still standing. How all that falls out depends on ego delusional people accepting the reality of Earth as Heaven soon to be beyond all strife. The soon to be future is one where hunger, poverty, and corruption no longer exist. Krasnov cannot exist in such an environment except as surrender.
Trump has made it unequivocally clear that close to 100 million citizens are a threat to the nation, that many are "the enemies within", and that some outright are domestic terrorists. It is a strong possibility that he is going to act either to delay the 2026 midterms, gerrymander red states so that Democrats cannot be elected, or prevent free elections altogether.
The country we live in is called the UNITED States for a reason. Each state entered the union committed to honoring and following our constitution. Now, our president and vice-president, our senators and congressmen, our judiciary who all have sworn a sacred oath to honor and defend that constitution have foresworn those oaths. Now, we live in a country whose founding document has been dishonored and held null and void by the executive branch of government. Congress has abdicated its responsibilities and has in effect ceded its duties to the executive branch. The highest court in the land has functioned as a rubber stamp for the executive branch. We are no more than an autocracy, led by a man who would be a dictator or king were only there a crown.
If we are truly no longer a coalition of united states, for we certainly are not today, are we then obligated to pay obeisance to a man who holds in contempt the sacrifice of the more than one million Americans who died in their nation's defense. Or the countless millions who have spent their lives and a significant part of their hard-earned wealth in order to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, to provide for the common defense, to promote the general welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, to a tyrant who, through his actions, disavows his allegiance to our nation? Perhaps it is time to reconsider our commitment to what was once a commonly held vision and, if unable to do so, peacefully go our separate ways to reform new governmental entities as the people see fit.
I for one would stay united in our honoring of our constitution and in deference to those who over the last 250 years worked tirelessly to form that more perfect union. However, without committing to a universally recognized constitution, we no longer share common ground. What, then, other than a faded vision and blind force, binds us together? Where the liberty, where the freedom to govern our own lives as we see fit? At this time we need to consider where we are and where we want to go.
Heard a good question today. Assuming or hoping that we have an election in 2026 and 2028, how long will it take to build trust in the government to give us facts or scientific facts again. Trump's acolytes will be sprinkled all through the government because he has fired so many and installed them in their place.
"And yet some Democrats act as if this is business as usual while the ground is ripped out from beneath us. Their weakness is complicity."
Elite Democrats are what remain of the thinnest of thin "blue" lines standing between ALL of us and the now metastasizing realtime overthrow of the US by the GOP and it's current carnival barker, Donald Trump. By "Elite", I mean those who hold true power - not just popular messaging.
And if these powerful Democrats do not get on board in pulling every lever available to cripple this cartel and its support network - today - I can only believe they are in on the take.
Prepare to tell your grandchildren what democracy was like. If you are allowed to by then, since everything you say and do will likely be monitored. The Democrats? Those not in the pockets of the corporate plutocrats and lobbyists are too afraid for themselves or more importantly their families to do more than dither. They are very good at that. Sadly, it will take courage and probably martyrs on the left to galvanize any real resistance. Which means the process on which this country was founded is dead. But the first election of the faux orange felonious flatulator in chief should have told us that; the second one just confirmed it.

In a sense, The Epstein Files just keep growing.
1. She is not a lawyer. If they fail to comply, it will be their demise legally and politically.
2. She does have the goods on 1. Michael Cohen and 2. Prince Andrew. Not reported elsewhere.
And what consequences are those Daniel. Trump, et al, have a head lock on the regime.
Surely Epstein's clients were among the most powerful in the country and the world. What's the chance of them being exposed.
This is not the America of Jan 219, 2025, so what consequences legally and politically are they to bear..
Trump has gotten away with murder, literally, and there he sits still.
Laying down and playing dead is not a good option.

YOU are playing dead.
Daniel, Michael Cohen in the Epstein files?
According to Palmeri, he's not a perp. Cover-up for Trump re Jane Doe. Proof that Trump was concerned. Ordered an investigaion.
Then what? You think Kash Patel is going to obey an order from Congress?
The voices of Epstein's victims will drown Patel's....
I hope he doesn't. Head in noose.
