History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs. 

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was... if we did not prevent Vietnam from becoming Communist, one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon Commies would take over the Entire World and We Would be fighting them at Our Border With Mexico...  Communism Would threaten the American Way of Life Right Here at Home!

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia.

Dominos was a Family Game popular before the invention of Computers and Video Games... Since "Everyone" Knew what they were... the US Government Named our Foreign Policy for that Game... Because It Made the Policy Easy to Understand...

President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers.

BLOWBACK: Biden Cannot Fund Forever War while the US HOUSE is BROKEN. What if a Republican Runs for Speaker and Loses for 26 More Days? US GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN! and the Government Cannot Do Evil While Shut Down!

Write Your Senator & Representative and Tell 'em NO MONEY FOR ENDLESS WAR. No US Soldiers to Fight in OTHER PEOPLE'S WARS. Frankly, I Believe there are Bad People on Both Sides... and if they Kill Each Other... EXCELLENT! Dead People Stop Behaving Bad! 


and... 


Tell 'em What You Think! They Won't Know Unless You Tell 'em... DUH

War... UGH... What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing! Say It Again!


To be Fair... The US Government Does SOME Things That Are Good. I Like the Interstate Highway System. I Like The DARPANET that became The Internet. I Like National Parks... I liked Going to the Moon... AND... UH... UH... I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS MOMENT... But Give me a Moment... 

OK... I Like the Fact That We Won World War Two. Dropping Atom Bombs on Japan CURED Their Bad Attitude Problem... and They Switched from Being Insane War Mongers to Becoming Rather Nice People That Build Great Cars and Electronics... 

However... Every War Since then Has Been BOGUS... I asked a Korean War Veteran: "What Was that War all About? Why Were We There?" and He Said... "I Have No Idea! and If You Find Out, Please Tell Me!" 

and the US Government Has Forced Americans to Go Fight in Extremely STUPID WARS for No Reason... Vietnam, Nicaragua, Iraq and Afghanistan... We Lost them All and NOTHING BAD HAPPENED! 

on the Other hand... The US Government was PURE EVIL When They Outlawed Marijuana, LSD, Peyote and Magic Mushrooms... WOW... Those People That Write Laws are BRIBED PUPPETS of the Alcohol Industry and The Pharmaceutical Business... not to forget GUNS... The GUN Laws are Insane and OBVIOUS BRIBERY Is The Cause...

I oppose Sending ANY US Soldiers to Fight in Israel. I Oppose Spending ANY Money on the Wars in Ukraine OR Israel. Let Those People Over There Fight Their Own Wars. OR NOT!

 Biden Plans to Ask Congress for $100 Billion in Ukraine, Israel Aid. 


President Joe Biden is considering a supplemental request of approximately $100 billion that would include defense assistance for Israel and Ukraine alongside border security funding and aid to nations in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan, according to people familiar with the matter.

WELL... Congress Will NOT Be Funding ANYTHING as Long as The US House is Broken... No Speaker? NO NOTHING! 

And IF Ukraine Loses their War and Becomes Part of Russia... The Fighting Will Stop! 


END WAR - Photo of a Bomb Blowing Up Gaza


I read that article in the Economist...

Only America can stop the Israel-Gaza war from becoming a bigger catastrophe.


I'm still a believer that the USA should send ZERO Soldiers to fight and We Should Spend ZERO Dollars...

If THOSE PEOPLE OVER THERE Want to Kill Each Other, That's Great. We Have Eight Billion People Alive on Planet Earth and ANY METHOD to Reduce the Population is Good News... War, Famine, Disease, Earthquakes, Floods... WONDERFUL! 

This entire Event COULD BE EDUCATIONAL... Suppose Someone Goes to a Techno Pop Music Festival and Instead of Dancing, they Murder 260 People... and then Over 3,000 of their Friends and Neighbors die... WELL... Maybe the Insane Anti- Dancing Freaks might decide to NOT COMMIT MURDER... Could Happen!

I still recommend that Israel NOT DROP ATOMIC BOMBS on Gaza... Sure, That would end the war in ONE MINUTE but... The Fallout might Blow downwind to Israel, Greece, Italy or Spain... and that would be bad.

    on FaceBorg - SE Said:

    I often see comments where people talk about clock radios as if they're some relic from the past. I find this to be strange, because clock radios are still made. I've woken up to a clock radio since elementary school. I remember my parents gave me one around the time I was in 3rd grade, and they told me it was time to start getting myself up for school rather than relying on my mom to wake me up. So I started setting my alarm to wake up to the radio every morning, and I still wake up to the radio every morning to this day. I don't really understand why anyone wants to wake up to any sound other than the radio. I find beeping or ringing alarms to be nerve-wracking, and I hate all sounds emanating from a smart phone. I will use the alarm on my smart phone if I'm traveling and need to set an alarm to wake up. But if I'm at home, I much prefer to wake up to the radio.
    At the moment, my clock radio is tuned to The Bone. Yesterday I woke up to "Rock of Ages" by Def Leppard, and today I woke up to "Subdivisions" by Rush. Those are both songs I like and which remind me of high school, so they were pleasant songs to wake up to. I also have a memory from childhood of being woken up by "Suffragette City" by David Bowie - specifically, the line, "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am." I always think of that whenever I hear that song, even now.

    and I Replied:
    I used a Traditional Alarm Clock with Two Bells... Like you would see in the Cartoons! Because I'm a heavy sleeper and I needed a REALLY LOUD ANNOYING SOUND to Wake Me Up... and I made Sure that the Damn Thing was Out of Reach so I Had to Get Up to Turn the Damn Thing Off... I would Just Sleep thru Music... and Have Wonderful dreams of Dancing with Women at a Concert...

    Traditional Alarm Clock

    and SE Replied:
    I can sleep through music if it’s soft, but I can’t sleep through any LOUD noise. I’d personally rather wake up to loud music than a loud bell or other loud alarm sound.

    and then I Said: 
    and you have that OPTION... I Envy Having OPTIONS Like That!

    UAW Strike: Biden Marched on the Picket Line... Trump Didn't

    "Trump this weekend indicated military leaders who opposed his policies should be put to death and media that presented views he did not like are traitors and will be prosecuted. He is a monster, an aspiring dictator, the greatest threat America faces."

    The real reason why Donald Trump wants Gen. Milley to be killed...

    Donald Trump’s fascist death threats against Gen. Milley: The rot goes much deeper...

    We, by now, are in agreement that those who call themselves Republicans are lying for they are not. They have sold themselves out to the bottom-feeders and criminals, the overwhelmingly ignorant and most dangerous to the ideals by which we have survived 250 years. These sellouts should be removed from public exploitation as soon as possible.

    Tax Cuts for the Rich - GOP FREAKOUT!


    A New York judge has ordered Donald Trump’s business entities in the state of New York, including The Trump Organization, dissolved, and his business certificates canceled, according to legal experts, after ruling that the ex-president for years committed fraud and deceived banks and insurers by inflating the value of his assets.
    Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron “has ordered cancellation of all [NYS] business [certificates] of ‘any entity controlled or beneficially owned by Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr, Eric Trump, Alan Weisselberg, & Jeffrey McConney. An independent receiver will manage the dissolutions,” writes former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega

    Screaming Neo Nazi Died of Self Inflicted Gunshot Wound - THANK YOU! - Teddy Joseph Von Nukem was Arrested for Smuggling Fentanyl at US Mexico Border! So he Killed Himself Instead of Going to Prison! EXCELLENT!

    Teddy Joseph Von Nukem (born Ted Landrum, November 23, 1987 – January 30, 2023) was an American white nationalist and far-right extremist, noted for his role at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
    He admitted attempted drug smuggling after being arrested at the Mexico–United States border in March 2021. He failed to show up for a January 30, 2023 Arizona court appearance, and died from a self-inflicted gunshot injury the same day.

    Police Kill Gun Nut. Aren't We All Better Off With This Madman Dead? He Murdered a Lady because She Flew a Rainbow Flag Outside her Store...

    Lake Arrowhead store owner shot and killed over Pride flag hanging
    outside shop, officials say...
    https://abc7.com/lake-arrowhead-store-owner-killed-mag-pi-
    clothing-laura-ann-carleton/13673754/


    When deputies arrived, they found 66-year-old Laura Ann
    Carleton with a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead on
    the scene.
    According to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, the suspect,
    Travis Ikeguchi, "made several disparaging remarks about a
    rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton."

    Deputies found the suspect armed with a handgun.

    "When deputies attempted to contact the suspect, a lethal force
    encounter occurred and the suspect was pronounced deceased,"
    read an update from the sheriff's department. No deputies were
    injured.




    ATTENTION WALMART SNOBS!
    So I'm at Walmart and the only check out line is backed up and I overheard an associate say, “Oh, they are just too lazy to check themselves out! “
    When I turned to look at the line I was furious. Everyone in that line was well over 70 years old.
    You listen here Mr. 20 something year old Walmart Associate. These folks are the back bone of this country. These folks are not lazy. They were not born into a computer generation. While you were playing video games and learning to navigate a computer they were working in the cotton fields, in cotton mills, plowing fields and harvesting crops.
    These "Lazy people" can still work circles around you and they have a work ethic and drive that you probably know nothing about. Just because someone doesn't feel comfortable using a self checkout does not make them lazy.
    And before I forget it... those lazy people pay your salary. Instead of you and others walking around being judgemental someone could have offered to help them on the self check out.
    If you ever have to get your vegetables from the ground instead of the produce department guess who you are going to need help from... those lazy people!
    Be careful of the toes you step on today... they might be attached to the butt you have to kiss tomorrow!

    Elon Mush Cannot Run For President Because He was Born in South Africa. 

    Mark Zuckerberg CAN Run for President. Over 35 Years Old and Born in the USA... Now THAT'S a Scary Thought!

    The Only Other Name I Know is Taylor Swift (a Singer/Songwriter) I Wonder IF She would be Interested in Running for Office? She's 33 Years Old so too Young for 2024 but NOT too young for 2028.

    My heart hurts. As Abby moves to go to middle school in Arcata and her mom has already emptied her place here to be up there with her guy, I look at all the gifts I've given that are being left behind and given away and I am reminded of the love, the big love, that went into each one. Each is a reminder of a moment, a time of happiness long gone. Sometimes I'm made fun of for giving too many presents, but I got that from my mom and I'm fine with it. There's the swimming pool, the playground, all the special furniture, the renovations, the clothes, the two sweet Mother's Day cats left behind (now I've got 5 cats), and so much more. It all hurts to remember the deep love that went behind every action and how it's been discarded. My farm hands are gone and I'm alone with Abby to make do before I move in 2 weeks(!) with our two small dogs half time or more to a good friend's RV in McKinleyville to support her schoolwork while I try to find some one perhaps to look over this place. Oh, I know I'm blessed and privileged to have found an affordable rental and that I have the resources to do all this. At 67 and living out the last third of my life with a lot of unfinished work, this major shift in my world is a lot for my heart to take in and all the while, a lot for my body to do.

    and JB Replied:
    As a man who has gone through similar changes in his life, I’m right there with you!! I applaud your ability to say here on Facebook…. I’m with you Darryl.. always thought you are a shining star for all of us since I was a teenager, deadhead, hippie, I looked to you for inspiration and guidance.. if there is anything I can do for you lmk?? I’m here on Hawaii.. so not sure but ??? Right?!

    and Darryl Replied:
    You taught me one important lesson I carry with me and quote to this day. It was about music but it can apply to everything: "give 'em space."

    and SC Said:
    As one who has lost everything in a forest fire, you find things vanish, but the memories & magic of their being fly within us forever, especially those imbued with love... This world of illusions is a transient place, about letting go of everything, even our lives eventually... Love is really all there is and lasts beyond the boundaries of time & space...

    SE Said:
    These material things may seem discarded, but I am sure the love isn't. You've poured all of that into her, and I feel quite sure she'll spring no leaks - in fact as she keeps growing, her vessel will enlarge to contain even more. 😉 💚

    and JB Said:
    There is a plastic Playschool Car sitting next to my garden house. I see it everyday and remember the joy I and m kids had while pushing them around in it. They are now twenty one and twenty three and it's almost hard to believe they grew up so fast. Have some reminders around of those to see and reflect. A favorite of mine are the self portraits they did at Skyfish School that hang in my kitchen...

    and then BEAR Said:
    Oh man, I can relate. I look back at all we’ve gave and it seems so much a flash in the pan. Me, I’m inundated with stuff. Stuff I’m not sure what to do with. The princess castles and old puzzles are one thing, but the pieces of one’s life are another.
    What I think is that the blessings have yet to come. My, how raising children has changed me. I’m still in the throes. Soon we’ll have adult children and it will all change again.
    Chin up compadre!

    and then QB Said:
    Take each hour at a time , moments even n don't sit down , than you will want to retire , sheer tenacity will get you through , fueled with desire of greater for your daughter , an invested father is such a gift , so many cut n run , i have complete faith in you ♥️👊🏽
