Jacqueline Marie Captain, 1957 - 2024

Jackie Captain, one-year anniversary of her passing — One full year has passed since my wife, Jackie, died.
What a life; man, did Jackie love people.
I do not know if I could have made it this far without the showering of love and good will that came my way.
From our neighborhood alone, Jamestown, powerful emissions of peace arrived like explosions.
We are going to have a great Summer.
If folks ever feel down, I can tell you the basic decency of humanity is so immense, decency is axiomatic.
Count on it.
Happy Summer!

Bipartisan Betrayal of American Revolution

Two Corrupt Political Parties Will Not Keep Faith

"On This Day in 1775, the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired during the Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts," announced the U.S. Dept of Defense this morning, April 19.

The irony of our 250th anniversary, when the fighting began, is as thick as the indecency of the Trump administration betraying our Constitution and liberty for which so many brave and loyal souls gave their lives. 

Not in my lifetime have I witnessed a presidential administration partake in such sadistic pleasure in delivering torture and inhumanity onto our planet in ostentatious defiance of liberty that is American DNA. Nixon was a classical liberal in comparison to Trump.

And the Democratic Party has become a repository of cowardice and collaboration, as the Democrat  administration declared itself the arbiter of truth prior to Trump, as reported by Greg Collard today. 

What way forward?

Do something political, something you believe it. Celebrate and honor, then fight.

Oh, and by the way, fuck Israel.

Trump's Leap to Fascism Comes Atop of Liberal-Woke Edifice, with Wokists Cushioning His Fall

When fascism comes here, Zionist Judenraete; fanatics aided
by woke liberals in the Universities and media will violate
liberties, and declare their power to prevent the lives of
anyone questioning anything, all in self-defense of course.
The ever widening gap between the government and
the people today casts suspicion on the people,
not Trump's government, in Trump's perverse view.
Free Mahmoud Khalil; Presidential Acts to Protect National Security Are Less Than Credible

Commentary

Madison, Wisconsin — Donald Trump is employing the machinery of government against Americans and permanent residents in State retribution for voicing thought at variance with purveyors of Genocide.

Trump's war against perceived wrong-thought annihilates sacred rights of American Due Process, the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment and cherished valuation of the individual.

His war is worse than the liberal establishment's odious lawfare, and malicious prosecutions launched against Trump by Democrats and liberal political opponents the last four years. It's worse than Democrat Censorship for which this party of parrots can never be forgiven.

Trump builds on liberals' ludicrous notions that truth and falsity of propositions are logically determined by how a proposition makes a reader or listener feel, and the related notion that someone's subjective feeling is equivalent to safety.

No great leap for Trump emulating the Biden-Harris administration determining expression of thought against Genocide is to be viewed with suspicion.

For example, since artist Roger Waters opposes fascism and Genocide in his art and music, Roger Waters must really be an anti-Semite, as determined by the U.S. State Department under Biden, (AP; Reuters).

That the U.S. State Department and Biden-Harris are perpetrators of Genocide is a fact that must go unacknowledged.

Consider as well the case of permanent U.S. resident and college student, Mahmoud Khalil.

As Krystal Ball notes in Breaking Points on the ideological framework of the Biden-Woke bunch employed by Trump today.

Once the pro-Palestine protests were portrayed by the liberal Biden administration as being effectively Hamas, it did not take a large leap to criminalize anyone who was affiliated with them, [pro-Palestine protests].
To throw Visa holders and permanent residents (such as Mahmoud Khalil) out of the country altogether for participating [in protests] or for even liking the wrong Tweet.

Mahmoud Khalil

Mahmoud Khalil is a graduate student at Columbia University School of International Affairs, a permanent U.S. resident, married to a U.S. citizen. Khalil is also a member of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student organizations objecting to Genocide against Palestine.

On March 8, Mahmoud Khalil was arrested in New York by agents of ICE, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It's not clear what crime or immigration law Mr. Khalil is alleged to have violated, (New York Times).

His wife, Noor Abdalla, is eight-months pregnant and is due to give birth in April. She was threatened with arrest outside their apartment, though ICE has not followed up yet against her alleged crime(s), (St. Clair, CounterPunch).

ICE, which collectedly resembles a gang of sociopaths with badges, sports a webpage with a front page that three times invites readers to report and phone ICE, should readers see "suspicious activity." Further, the front page features a link to an ICE Tip Form, on which Americans can inform on all manner of suspicious people.

Accusations of fascism cry out from human rights workers, civil liberties organizations and writers at the outrageous arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, now slated to be heard in federal district court in New Jersey, (New York Times).

Congressional Democrats, ensconced in neocon foreign policy and well-versed in employing McCarthyite attacks against Trump after morphing into an anti-free speech Party, not surprisingly offer a muted defense of Mr. Khalil and his family.

Writes Yasmine El-Sabawi, in Middle East Eye:

When Michigan Congresswoman and Palestinian native Rashida Tlaib shared a letter to her social media account on Tuesday, [March 18], demanding that immigration authorities free Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil - a man never charged with a crime - it only contained 14 signatures.

For perspective, there are 220 Democrats in the House of Representatives, all of whom have been unabashedly vocal in their criticism of the Trump administration’s actions on a near-daily basis.

There are 45 Democrats in the Senate.  

That the two major American political parties are united in committing Genocide and evisceration of foundational liberties of free expression and free speech in America ought be causing everyone's fascism detectors to be blinking red.

Mahmoud Khalil, dictating a letter to the Columbia Spectator, pens his determination to carry on this weekend. Writes Khalil:

In his last message to a world that betrayed him, the beloved Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat said, I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

So too do we believe that it is the highest honor of our lives to struggle for the cause of Palestinian liberation. The student movement will continue to carry the mantle of a free Palestine. History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence.
I'm with Mr. Khalil.

Far worse than 1970s elites pronouncing an excess of democracy by the Peace and Civil Rights movements, today, liberal elites have declared there is no objective truth; and the American people must fight it out against themselves using their imposed subjective identities as shields and weapons. 

If many deplore Trump for his fascism, (and rightfully so), wokists and Zionists should be counted among other perpetrators.

Kenosha County Sheriff Uses Office to Appear in Wisconsin Supreme Court Attack Ad

Oconto County Sheriff Todd Scarban don his official
uniform, claiming to speak for Wisconsin law enforcement, in
an attack ad against Dane County Judge Susan Crawford,
candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The Zoerner ad is part of
a heavy ad buy by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.

Kenosha County Sheriff David W. Zoerner and Oconto County Sheriff Todd Scarban don official uniforms in new attack ad. Zoerner claims to speak for Wisconsin law enforcement, in the ad against Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, candidate for Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Crawford is running against former Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel in a closely watched April 1 election.

In the Zoerner ad, the office of Judge Crawford's office phone number is listed, as a narrator urges phone calls to the office.
 
The Kenosha County Sheriff's office has a history of overt hostility toward black people, advocating openly black people should be 'warehoused away,' as noted prominently in the Washington Post.

CNN has also reported on the racist Kenosha County sheriff office.
