  1. Been away for a couple of months working on art projects. Just checking in about "the legal process" and Wheels of Justice in ICE America.

    So are the Top Shelf Surly Law Dogs giving us 250-word summations of:

    -- How ICE could be understood as a modern day component of the "well-regulated militia" of the Second Amendment.

    -- How the Posse Comitatus Act could be interpreted to permit a full-scale Marine invasion of Sanctuary Cities, tanks and all.

    Just wondering ... Oh, we know it will take decades for the hallowed Courts to resolve these issues beyond mere laymen.

  2. Q. What do the Top Shelf Surly Law Dogs and the Holy New York Times have in common?

    A. Massive gaslighters, enablers, and, in the end, high-brow hack apologists for a collapsed system quickly devolving the USA into a medieval-feudal-theocratic dictatorship. We are so far beyond "autocracy" and "authoritarianism" it is laughable.  

    Trump elected in 2016 signaled the collapse, Covid response and J6 proved it. Biden was merely the illusion that things could still return to normal. 

    Trump 2024 is the tombstone.

    Texas had crushed Boston College, Virginia and Rice to open the season

    True, but does not capture the level of annihilation.

    Boston College 44-0

    Virginia 68-0

    Rice 72-15

    -- Texas led Rice 54-0 before the Owls scored the first TD of the season against Texas.

    So Texas scored 166 STRAIGHT POINTS.

    -- That will never be achieved again by Texas ... at any time in a season.

    -- Could be an all-time record ever in college?

    you do about the future of America?

    If you're the future of America, then we're all fucked. World leaders in name calling!

    Just like Trump, the guy you claim to oppose. Look in the mirror dude. You enable his fat ass.

    Adios?  Are you turning tail, pussy?

    What a badass! Beaver gonna fight me on the church parking lot? 

    Lulz.

    Across decades, I have written numerous articles and books that state my positions on a variety of topics that involve art, science, philosophy, politics, culture, and sometimes religion and beliefs. In public. With my name on it. Stuff that goes way way way beyond "atheist talking points" or stuff in Surly.

    And no publisher or editor or reviewer or commenter has called me a "bigot." Or a "pussy." Only you Beaver. But, then, you're an internet tough guy, I guess.

    "Adios" because it is pointless for me to continue. 

    4 decades of debating with religious believers and apologists ... many with PhDs in theology at UT and elsewhere ... not merely your local megachurch bible thumper or online poster ... and I still can't fully remember that it is utterly pointless to argue with them. 

    Yet, I still sometimes get sucked in. My bad.

    There are no amount of facts or logic will convince anyone anything who believes that the Creator of a universe .... with two trillion galaxies and three sextillion stars .... stretching across 93 billion light years .... has a special behavioral plan ...  just for them ... on a fraction of a tiny ball of dirt and water ... orbiting a flaming ball of hydrogen ... in a remote part of a single galaxy.  

    I am plainly stupid for arguing at all ... with any religious person in Surly .... or on this planet ... or in this galaxy ... or in this universe.

    So, yes, adios.

    For profit journalism is the enemy. 

    the good news is Trump and the nazis only have about 35-40% of the electorate. Trump won on independents focused on the economy and thinking he wouldn’t do what he’s doing. 

    Troph: You're a great poster here. One of the very best. Your post makes good points.

    But, with all due respect, you echoed the exact party line of the "for profit journalism." 

    The media want us to think it "Trump won on the economy" ...blah blah blah. 

    Sure, independents played a small role.

    But the empirical facts are that religious people PLAYED A LARGE ROLE. They voted overwhelming for Trump and their cult leaders are installing Project 2025 ... just as they said they would.

    Yet, as we see throughout the media, including non-profit media, the role of religious fanatics gets a 99% free pass.

    The data are 100% clear (see below). It is what it is.

    Their goal is a fascist theocracy.

    Unless this threat to civilization is confronted, this nation is doomed. Most likely, it is far too late.

    Hell, the entire world is endangered because of these people ....

  7. Anyone here "Stand Up For Science" yesterday?

    I took to the streets for the science rally, with cool sign in hand. Saw a boisterous, agitated, happy-dejected crowd of about 1000 people in the metropolis where I attended the really.

    -- Crowd size was more than I expected, but tiny considering the million+ population of the metropolis and surrounding burbs.  So, about 1 out of 1000 people attended from the area.

    -- Lots of funny and piognant signs. Too many to post here.  

    -- Saw many faces that seemed depressed-dejected ... and downright angry.

    The speakers (local scientists and local politicians) had their lines. But other than saying "fight back" and "demand a seat at the table," there was not much of a plan.

    Two hours of a rally .... then it disappears. 

    https://standupforscience2025.org

    But, I feel good for going.

    And trust me, my ongoing international art project will not ignore what is going down in America.

    No fucking way!

    since 1953, only two presidential terms have had an approval rating below 50% at this early stage of the presidency: Donald Trump in 2017 and Donald Trump in 2025. (Gallup)

    Does not matter. 

    The full-on 100% fascist takeover is underway and succeeding. The legacy & mainstream media have completely failed us and are doing next-to-nothing to stop it. Hell, they can't even call "fascism" what it is: FASCISM.  

    The fascism has been obvious since Trump-MAGA appeared on the scene, if not much sooner. (First table is from 2023, slightly modified to include Project 2025). 

    And many posters/law dogs repeatedly told us that the "Wheels of Justice" move slowly, but inexorably to justice. 

    I posted the Nazi-MAGA table in 2024 and was told I was wrong. I am sure some posters will soon say it again.

    We have a huge percentage of this country (perhaps 80-95%) who simply do not fully grasp what is unfolding before their eyes.

    since the light came on for me in the early 1990s, recognizing that actual, real-life fascists were taking over the GOP and were a deadly threat to American democracy.

    Spot on. My light came on when Reagan and Falwell made kissy kissy on stage in mid-1980s (1984?). I (and a few UT philosophy and artsy friends) knew that politics + religious fanaticism were a toxic brew with deadly results ... if they ever got power. 

    The legacy and mainstream media gave them a free pass across the decades.

    Now they have near-total power. And they are installing a violent fascist theocracy ... while Elon, DOGE, and billionaires take the spotlight. 

  10. And the Dallas Morning Christian News managed to not criticize the pastor or his religion. But the News did offer RFK as the man with vacccine insight. Insanity presented as reasonable dude.

    The pastor proudly stated they were anti-science and all about "religious freedom."

    These people do not care if other people die. THEY DO NOT CARE! 

    And, yet, they get a 99% free pass in the media. 

    These Christian fanatics and lunatics are bringing on the destruction of America and modern civilization.

    That's a fact.

  11. Anybody who thinks the Democrats -- at least with current leaders and power brokers -- are going to save this country is very mistaken. Bernie, Hakeem, AOC, Schumer? They ain't got it.  

    The Democrats should have jumped all over Trump last night as soon as he walked in.

    -- Booing him LOUDLY immediately as he is walking down the aisle.

    -- LOUDLY interrupting his speech and calling out his lies. 

    -- Shouting this is fascism when he discusses mass deportation.

    -- Heck, perhaps even some shouting of "No Seig Heil in America"  "No Seig Heil" ... "No Fuhrer" ... "No Fuhrer"

    ANYTHING to break the silence of pretending there are still civilized rules in place. 

    Bu, no, they sat there like obedient house pets.

    ------ 

    There are no fucking rules when you are in a political war trying to save a nation and even civilization ... from an obvious fanatical Fascist Evangelical regime bent upon destroying many sciences and armed with nukes.

    Otherwise, don't even bother to attend the event -- a collective no show.

    I don't have an exact plan ... but we need someone with some balls to say "NO! We ain't surrendering to fascists" and say it LOUDLY and REPEATED in the media. They must use the term FASCIST, not mere "extremist" or "far right." And organize and lead an elected resistance of some kind.

    Of course, I am over the ledge and in abyss, so it is likely far too late.

    It's christianity. 0/10. Would not recommend. Remember that era called the dark ages?

    Spot on. Once Reagan and Falwell got on the stage together .... I and several UT friends knew big trouble was coming if the fanatics ever got total power. Now they have it .... after 40 years of the purposeful erosion of public education and purposeful growth of anti-science idiocy. ... and 40 years of a near-complete free pass from the media.

  13. Great post Francisco! 

    How the hell could I leave off a DEVO mention? Am I not a man? Must be a spudboy! 

    Devo saw it coming ...

    Big fan of Devo, especially during Ronnie Raygun era. 

    (Still have my Devo music, but now I get most of my electronic music fix from Kraftwerk.)

  14. We are way beyond saving democracy.... that's because we are witnessing human DEvolution in real time ... led by Team USA ... streaming on screens all over the world. 

    A 21st century crusade of idiocy and violence accelerating our species backward into the Sixth Extinction event:

    -- either by massive climate destruction over a few centuries 

    -- or total nuclear annihilation in an afternoon. 

    We are far beyond the event horizon.

  15. Well, at least the Brits get it. Pic taken in London (according to friend)

    Too bad the US Media and Legacy Media are busy .... denying, enabling, sanewashing, normalizing, doublethinking ...

    Clearly you understood nothing about my post. 

    I clearly understood your post. Apparently, more than you. 

    Sure, you made some good points about the fat, lazy, idiocy of so many Americans. Good points.

    But with glaring omissions.

    --------- 

    You said we "all" to blame for this mess.

    Speak for yourself. I'm not to blame. Not at all. 

    I am a newbie to this topic. I have been warning people for 40 years -- since Reagan and Falwell -- about the threat of Republicans + Radical Religion. And about the decline of intellectual standards across the board. 

    I have published critiques of this regressive madness going back decades. Not hidden behind an avatar. But, in books and essays, with my name on it, in public. 

    And, though published, the books and essays were ignored by liberals, libertarians, mainstream intelligentsia, etc. 

    ---------

    If there is an "all of us" to blame, it is the Conservative Republicans who enabled this disaster from Day One with the blind worship of Reagan, the Bushes, and now Trump and letting religious fanatics take control of their party and now America.

    Your post mentions nothing about this.

    Trump. Congress. Politicians, all of it. They're all us. This is on us. You can call it as a species, or Americans as a country, but it's on us. This is who we have become. Pointing at Congress, Trump, the Supreme Court, it's all the same picture, and that picture is us. 

    Really? It's "all us"? 

    Seems like there is something utterly overlooked in your analysis.
