Will the Goats win?

 Payson is at a crossroads. Will Payson become a nursing home for 16,000 people, or will Payson take advantage of its location and water supply to become a standout community in Arizona? Do the citizens of Payson want the cheapest way to wait for the hearse, or do they want to prosper and live in a community that values the young and old alike? Fortunately some young people with a vision of the future that does not include wheel chairs and cains have stepped up to oust the Ayatolah regime that wants to take us backward. You can vote for change or rot from within. 

Hooplehead regret

 Being simple minded used to be fun. You could drive around town with a couple of flags on the back of your pickup and show people you were an idiot. Now the price of gas has put that out of reach. You could wear your gun to the grocery store, and flaunt your Trump hat. Now people know what an idiot looks like. He made America great? Being an idiot is just too expensive now. 

Hammered

 The retirement saving are blasted. Never lost so much in such a short time. Well Kadizzle can make up for the loss with the savings in gasoling. Wait, that went to hell to. Even the worst MAGA dolt may wake up. One thing a MAGA dolt can focus on is gas prices. Gas prices work for MAGA brains because only three numbers are involved. MAGAs don't notice when Trump steals a billion, but when he tacks on 50 cents to gas that is easy to figure out. 

 I didn't complete high school because my dad told me " Education just confuses people".  I have a good job at Home Depot, and I have saved enough to make payments on my truck. It's not an ordinary truck, it is a truck any true American would be proud of. I have the hood painted to look like an American flag. The flags on the back let everyone know my politics. In the glove compartment is my gun, and if anyone objects to me rolling coal out the exhaust f**k around and find out. No one who sees my cowboy hat and belt buckle is going to question my manhood. The women love me. My girlfriend has a good job at the vape shop, and our trailer is brand new. Anyone would be jealous of the 86 inch tv we watch Fox News on. 

Where are the hats?

---

For a while it seemed like every third person in town was wearing one of those silly Trump hats. You couldn’t walk into a grocery store without seeing a red cap bobbing down the aisle like a warning flag for common sense.

But lately something strange has happened. The hats are disappearing.

Where did they go?

Are the Hoopleheads embarrassed now? Confused? Or just quietly trying to pretend they were never part of the circus in the first place?

And what about the gunslingers? Not long ago some folks felt the need to parade around the grocery store like extras in a low-budget western. These days the pistols aren’t quite as visible. Maybe the urge to cosplay as Wyatt Earp while buying milk has finally worn off.

The stickers and flags are fading too. Fewer pickup trucks screaming political slogans. Fewer yards decorated like campaign headquarters.

So what happened?

Did reality finally seep in? Did the spell break? Or are some of the most brick-headed dolts in the country finally waking up and realizing they’ve been played?

It’s hard to say.

But one thing is certain: the noise has gotten a little quieter. And when the noise dies down, sometimes that means people are starting to think.

Which, around here, would be a refreshing change.

Up in the Morning

 Old Kadizzle slept pretty well last night, so he got up about 5 A.M. Oh, what a wonderful world. Who will we bomb today? Maybe some school girls like the ones Trump likes to rape. A very strange world. Kadizzle did some math this morning. .0002% of the population owns 32 % of everything in our wonderful country. That knowledge inspired Kadizzle to write today's blog over on the National Association for the Advancement of Humanity blog.  https://naftaoh.blogspot.com/

The Payson Roundup post the new letters to the editor early in the morning on Tuesdays. The first thing Kadizzle did was read the letters. Of course the dolts, or Hoopleheads had a few things to write about. One that struck Kadizzle was a Hoopleheae praising the Tea Party Mayor for putting LED lights on main street. Wow, the lights can be made to change color. What an accomplishment. 

Some good news, the town is plagued with the Three Stooges, and the Tea Party mentality, but some good normal people have stepped up to run the stooges out of town hall. Hopefully it will happen.

Ordinary people cannot afford Justice

Justice for Trump — Scraps for the Rest of Us

The American legal system works beautifully if your name is Donald Trump. It bends, twists, delays, and performs acrobatics worthy of Cirque du Soleil. But try using that same system as an ordinary citizen — say, someone like Kadizzle — and suddenly justice becomes a luxury item, priced somewhere between a used car and a beachfront condo.

Kadizzle is filing a federal civil rights claim against the Town of Payson. You would think this is exactly what the courts are for: holding government accountable when it abuses its authority. The most common reaction he gets?

“Good luck.”

And honestly, that’s about right.

Because in Arizona, if you aren’t bleeding, missing limbs, or wrapped around a telephone pole, lawyers want nothing to do with you. There’s no shortage of ambulance chasers, but every single one Kadizzle contacted started with the same question:

“Was anyone hurt?”

Translation:
If they can’t pocket a million, they’re not interested.

On the rare chance they are interested, the going rate is a mere $300–$400 an hour. That’s just to breathe in their general direction.

Over a year ago, Kadizzle was accidentally referred to one of the top civil rights attorneys in the nation. Winning wasn’t the problem — the price tag was. A “cheap” win? $7,500.
A deluxe, fully-loaded, courtroom victory? $75,000.

Imagine needing a mortgage just to get your rights back.

So what do you do when the system is engineered to keep ordinary people out?

You do it yourself.

Kadizzle will be representing Kadizzle — one man against a wall of insurance-company shysters and municipal defense specialists paid very handsomely to crush inconvenient lawsuits. It will be an adventure, or a circus, or both.

And just to get through the courthouse door? Six hundred bucks.
That’s the entry fee for justice in America.

Let’s not kid ourselves:
Justice is not for poor people.
It is not even for regular people.
But it works just fine for Trump — the same system that tied itself in knots to protect a man who bragged about grabbing women like property and has been accused of things far worse.

So yes, Kadizzle will fight.
But the truth is bigger than one case:

America has a two-tiered justice system — one for the rich, and one for the rest of us.
