A nation of idiots

We are a nation of idiots. Trump has proven preying on stupid people is a sure fire money maker.  Science has become flexible. Religion has become flexible.  Just make it up is the new method for answering any question. Who ever makes up the best answer wins. Lying makes no difference people don't remember that yesterday you were against electric cars and today your bought one. Dolts, Hoopleheads, and dingers are proud to be stupid. Now you proudly announce to your friends you are an idiot with a MAGA hat.  Elections are about who is the best liar, and is willing to promise the biggest piece of pie. 

A lie will cover anything. Ukraine started the war with Russia.  Kadizzle got into a back and forth with a Trump dinger about who started the war. The dinger ended up claiming the United States started the war. The flexibility of being stupid is a real asset. As Trump robs people of their social security he tells them they have to endure some pain to get rich. Of course the Hoopleheads eat up that explanation. The modern day church is the Church of the Latter Day idiots.  My old neighbor famously said " Education just confuses people".  Stay away from science, facts, and reality, they only create confusion.  

The Man who Killed Buster Scruggs

Watch this video. Buster Scruggs and Gary Morris are one and the same. A spectacular end comes to Buster when he gets in over his head. Gary Morris has been lying for years. Gary features himself to be Buster, and hopefully he will come to the same end as Buster when his final lie blows up in his face. Buster and Gary are so much alike. Full of delusion and false pride. 

Buster Scruggs comes to town hall

 Gary Morris used to be the head of the Republican Party here in Gila County—until he resigned, right after Kadizzle got to call him a liar about fifty times in court. Gary lost that case, but true to form, he just can’t stop lying. Recently, he wrote to the paper, peddling the same lie that got him caught red-handed in court.

Fast forward to the latest town council meeting. In walks Gary, dressed like he just stepped out of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs—a pint-sized cowboy in a white hat with nothing under it. To complete the look, Buster Morris even had on a pair of sunglasses, because apparently, reality is just too bright for him.

Now, there is a god, because the only open seat left in the room was right next to Kadizzle. That meant Kadizzle had the perfect opportunity to ask Gary, face to face, when exactly he planned to stop lying. Even better, we were surrounded by his loyal Hooplehead fan club, so every word landed with an audience. Kadizzle didn’t waste the chance—calling out Gary’s lies right in the midst of his admirers. Unsurprisingly, Gary had no response.

This is what makes town council meetings entertaining. Sitting among the willfully uninformed, dropping inconvenient facts about Trump, and watching their gears grind to a halt. Case in point: Kadizzle casually mentioned that Trump—who loves to bash electric cars—actually went out and bought one himself. The Hooples, of course, had no recollection of this, because remembering what Trump said yesterday is a skill they simply do not possess.

And so, there sat Buster Morris, white cowboy hat and all, surrounded by his crew, basking in the glow of willful ignorance. Some things never change

So many, many year ago we sailed to Fort Jefferson. A memorable trip

 

Praise be unto Jesus, it rained

Although stupidity has rained all over our country, the old fashioned rain with water has been rare in Arizona, but last night it filled the reservoir in our back yard. 

The wake up routine. Get up and make the damn coffee. Nothing happens until the coffee is made. Now read the New York Times. No paper compares. Surprised how many people don ' t read the NYT. One great feature is a recap of the comedians. They are have a wonderful time cutting Trump and his gang of idiots to shreds. Trump's press secretary uses every lying technique of the master. 

The stock market may be the end of the Trumpster. People see the 401k tank, and realize they have to face reality. A little pain the dolts say. Sure, losing your arm involves a little pain. 

Run dog run

Used to be a children's story we read our kids " Run dog run". That is the Hoopleheads. In the last two days old Kadizzle was blasting the Hooples with the truth on one of the local facebook sites. The comments went wild. What do Hooples do if you truth bomb them? They ban you, or run dog run. KMOG the local radio station does run dog run. Normal people cannot comment on the forum show. The Tea Party will ban you at the door or throw you out if you speak the truth. Inga will grab the microphone from you if you question Potato Bag. On it goes. The Hooples cannot debate, but the can run and cut you off . Kenny Murphy knows how to hand. up on peskey truth speakers. Run dog run.  

Act Like Nothing's Wrong Trump's theme song

Snow falling like lies from Trump's mouth

If you want to be a Hooplehead know one thing, it is a religion. If Trump says something, it is true, don't check it out. All religions require you to believe nonsense. Trump is no different. The silly lies he told during the State of the Union address all could easily be checked and proven false, but Hoopleheads don't fact check, they just believe. Trump's social security lie was his biggest whopper. Social Security cuts off payments automatically when you reach 115. Trump claimed people up to 200 years old were getting checks. The Hoopleheads soaked it up. The transgender mouse lie was also a whopper. There is no such research going on, but again, the Hooples love the lies. Trump is a circus barker, and circus clown.  If you want to be a good simple minded dupe for Trump, just believe. 

The simplest intelligence test of all time.

You are driving with someone. Looking far down the road you see a traffic light is red. An intelligent person will let up on the throttle and never have to stop for the red light. A typical idiot will speed toward the red light and slam on the brakes. 

Looking ahead is an art. Once Kadizzle asked someone why they got paid so much more than Kadizzle did. The answer was revealing. The person explained that some people have to make decidions about what is going to happen in the next hour, others the next day, and others yet farther out. The farther ahead you have to think the more you get paid. It makes sense. Now look at our country the dolts don't look down the road at all. Trump has no clue of the long term effect of his insanity. Climate change is the perfect example. If it is not happening today, then it is not a problem. Hopefully this will help you spot a dolt or a Hooplehead. A very easy way to spot dolts and Hoopleheads is more like bird watching. They wear red MAGA hats.

How to make stealth Trump phone calls.

Had a lot of fun in the line at the pharmacy today. Also had fun all through the grocery store. Here is what you do. When in a line pretend like you are talking to someone on the phone. Loudly say all the bad things you can about Trump and his buddies. 

Now for the good news. Several people gave me the thumbs up when they heard me mention Trump's lying during his speach. Do your part. Everything helps to defeat the dictator.  

Couldn't bear to watch the rat.

Sat down to watch the orange rat lie to congress. It did not work. Seeing a grown man lie and insult people was just not on the agenda for last night. How could any person fall for his circus barker act? He is the best at everything, according to him. Facts are nowhere to be found when Trump makes up numbers. He pulled out the old social security lie about dead people getting social security. Anyone can look at the real data, but the Hoopleheads just buy the lies wholesale.  

When the dictator gets A I you are toast

America Under Trump’s Dictatorship: What Comes Next?

With our country now under the authoritarian grip of Donald Trump, the question is no longer if democracy can survive—it’s how we navigate the rapid erosion of our freedoms. The parallels to Putin’s Russia are undeniable, and history has shown that strongmen thrive when they dismantle institutions meant to check their power.

The Tools of Dictatorship Dictators don’t govern through democratic consensus—they rule through fear, suppression, and control. Organizations like the KGB ensured that Soviet citizens lived in a constant state of surveillance and paranoia, and Trump’s America could follow a similar path. His past admiration for despots like Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Xi Jinping isn’t just rhetorical; it signals a desire to emulate their unchecked authority.

Trump and his allies have already laid the groundwork for such a regime. With loyalists embedded in key positions, the rule of law can be reshaped to serve the ruler rather than the people. We saw attempts at this during his first term with the Justice Department’s weaponization, the purging of officials who didn’t show personal loyalty, and his calls to imprison political opponents. With another term, these efforts could expand dramatically.

AI and the Future of Control Artificial Intelligence has the potential to revolutionize society, but in the hands of authoritarian regimes, it becomes a weapon of oppression. China has already demonstrated how AI can be used to monitor and suppress dissent through facial recognition, predictive policing, and social credit systems. A second Trump presidency, emboldened by a compliant Supreme Court and weakened checks on power, could see the implementation of similar tactics under the guise of “national security.”

Imagine a world where government-controlled AI monitors every aspect of our lives—our social media posts, our political affiliations, even our private conversations. Combine that with a judiciary stacked in Trump’s favor, and dissent could be criminalized faster than ever. Those who once scoffed at the idea of America losing its democratic ideals may soon find themselves in a reality where loyalty is the only currency that matters.

The Cost of Complacency It’s easy to assume that the worst won’t happen, that the American system is too strong to fall. But history teaches us that democracy isn’t destroyed overnight—it erodes gradually as people look the other way. Every time an institution is weakened, a safeguard is ignored, or a precedent is broken without consequence, we inch closer to authoritarianism.

Sitting back and accepting Trump’s rule isn’t an option if we want to preserve any semblance of freedom. The time for passive concern is over; now is the time for active resistance. Whether through voting, protesting, organizing, or holding power to account in every possible way, we must recognize that democracy is not self-sustaining—it survives only when people fight for it.

The choice is clear: stand up now, or accept a future where silence is the only safe response.

US author explains Donald Trump’s Russia, KGB connections

The Cult is a low information conglomeration of idiots that worship the con man

Talk to anyone in the cult and you will quickly realize how poorly informed they are. Kadizzle has gone up to MAGA hatted idiots and asked them to explain how Ukraine started the war. They have no clue how to answer. It is the same whenever you hit them with a fact or reality. Nine times out of ten the cultist Hoopleheads simply run away. Not kidding they literally leave as quickly as possible. Religion makes no sense, Trump is a religion. It is God's will is what the religious say when they are baffled. Same for the Trump cult. We live in a dictatorship. The cult will do and say anything Trump wants. 

We are toast

With the climate we are toast. Sitting here in Payson, Arizona it has not rained for over four months. The climate has changed and so has the world. People go marrilly about their way as we have a new alliance with Russia. Mental illness is now the most sought after state of mind. Trump flourishes by lying with every breath.  Dingers, Hoopleheads, and the simple minded love being idiots. The old world of logig is gone. 

Living under an insane dictator

 When you think it cannot get any more crazy, it does. Yesterday Trump played the part of a gangster. Pure unadulterated insanity. To have the vice president play along as a thug took the cake. How can the Hoopleheads just pretend everything is normal? Trump is now out in the open a puppet of Putin. Putin was dancing as Trump sided with Russia. When Russia recruited Trump as an agent it was the biggest victory for dictatorships ever. Trump thinks he is king in the United States, but in return he has to dance for Putin. 

Russia has an economy smaller than Canada. Letting the Russian mouse have Trump by the balls takes the cake. Of course details don't penetrate the mind of a Hopplehead. 

People are getting scared

As the dictatorship wears on people are beginning to wonder. Will the stock market crash? Will my job end? How will the insanity affect me? The level of stupidity in this country is mind boggling. The dolts live by making excuses for Trump. The favorite is " He knows things we don't". That will get you out of about anything. 

Something that puzzles Kadizzle about the Republicans is their obsession with sex. Transgender people are the biggest threat we face if you talk to a Republican. While Trump and Musk loot the country the Republicans say " What do you think of transgender people competing in sports? Wow, that is all I worry about. It used to be gay marriage, but maybe they got over it. 

Sex among Republicans must be troublesome. It is amazing Republicans can reproduce. Admitting there is such thing as sexuality must drive them nuts. Speaking of nuts do they have any. The cowards in congress that perpetually kiss Trump's ass. 

Get a girlfriend, marry a nice woman, and leave everyone else alone. 

‘Trump Gaza is finally here!’: US president promotes Gaza plan in AI video. Insane beyond belief

Shoveling Money to the rich

 Trump has perfected thievery. Congress just passed the biggest theft from the middle class, and the Hoopleheads don't have a clue. Trump says he will steal a pie and give you some. Of course your slice is tiny compared to Trump's slice he shares with the rich, but keep in mind you are an idiot under a Trump MAGA hat. Trump didn't tell you he is using your credit card to buy you a tiny tax break while his rich buddies get a huge tax cut. Wow, maybe you are stupid. 

The Spanish Word For Heart Is Corazon Written And Performed By Eleanor...

Trump seems lack any respect for humanity. Trump is in love with Trump. Trump's army of dingers are in a delusional fog of insanity. The troops are willing to make any excuse for Trump's dictatorship. Musk is on drugs for his bipolar problem. It shows. Meanwhile ordinary Americans act like nothing is wrong.  So here we go. Where does it end. It takes a ship some time to fill with water and sink. The budget negotiations will be a lot of fun. Republicans who claim they want to save money will sink the country in debt to give the rich more. The dolts will come up with some excuse. The havoc will set in. 

As the country crumbles

 Watching the country fall apart is an experience Kadizzle never thought of. The dingers right here in Payson are amazing. KMOG radio propaganda is singing in harmony with Potato Bag Otto. Payson is an equal mess to the national mess. The fan is covered with shit. No one cares. Business as usual, who cares. If your house burns, it is your problem. If you lose your job because of Trump that is your problem. I got gas in my car and food on the table, so the hell with you. Grab what you can, steal from the fools. Salute the new king and and carry on. 

Read the Article about Trumps lies in the New York Times today.

 Insane lying is the Trump norm. There is no reality in the Republican Party. In a world full of religion people should not be amazed how humans can believe bizzare things. Trump knows he can fire out any strange lie, and the same people who believe religion will believe him. Kadizzle loves the way a Republican responds when you call out the lying " He knows things we don't".  That is the oldest trick in the book every shaman has used. The magic man knows something you don't. Yes the charlatan know the scam. No one has mastered the lying scam like Trump. Imagine the people around Trump who have to help promote the lies. Pure unadulterated insanity. 

WHAT A JOKE

Mayor Steve Otto, Councilman Charlie Bell, and Darllin Haws held a public forum at Tiny’s restaurant on Saturday—at least, that’s what they claimed. In reality, it was nothing more than a live version of a KMOG radio forum, where dissenting voices are silenced and only the Tea Party agenda is welcome.

Anyone who has called into KMOG during one of their right-wing propaganda shows knows the drill. If you echo their views, you’re given free rein. But if you dare to challenge the party line, you’re quickly cut off—or, as in my case, not allowed to speak at all. It was no different at Tiny’s, where the meeting was controlled by Inga Chouinard, the darling of the Tea Party, ensuring that opposing viewpoints were shut down.

The new right-wing town council members campaigned on promises of openness and transparency. Yet, when given the chance to engage with the public, they proved just how hypocritical they are by shutting down anyone who dared to disagree. If this is their idea of “public discussion,” our community deserves better.

Let The Mystery Be - Iris DeMent H.Q.

Kadizzle drove down Marty's street and there was a simple minded old dinger with a Trump hat on. Kadizzle asked him if he could explain how Ukraine started the war with Russia. The dinger was in a daze. Had no clue what to say. 

No apology, religion is just total nonsense. Now think how many people are dazed by that insanity. Religion has tortured and killed more people than wars. More children have been abused by priest than all the other sex offenders combined. Yet, the churches are filled, and now these religious people elected Satan himself, Donald Trump. Just try to spin you way out of that one. 

OK, you simple minded dinger. Click on the song below and read the words below. Your morning will be off to a great start

Everybody is wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody is worrying 'bout
Where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done
But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be

Some say once you're gone you're gone forever
And some say you're gonna come back
Some say you rest in the arms of the Savior if in sinful ways you lack
Some say that they're coming back in a garden
Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas
I think I'll just let the mystery be

Everybody is wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody is worrying 'bout
Where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done
But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be

Some say they're going to a place called glory
And I ain't saying it ain't a fact
But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory
And I don't like the sound of that
I believe in love and I live my life accordingly
But I choose to let the mystery be

Everybody is wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody is worrying 'bout
Where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done
But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me
I think I'll just let the mystery be

I think I'll just let the mystery be

Red Hat walking down my street

Mrs Hooplehead had an encounter with Kadizzle a week or so back. She was in the MAGA fogg. Old Kadizzle was sunning himself in the garage enjoying a few puffs on a cigar. Two old goats are walking by on the main road in our compound. One has on a red hat. Danger, danger, danger. We cannot have people wearing Trump hats on our streets.  Kadizzle hopped on the motorcycle to check on the mental illness parade walking by. Sure enough the hat was a Trump hat. Mrs Hooplehead quickly ran away when Kadizzle pulled up to them on the motorcycle.  Mr. Hoople was willing to talk about his mental illness. Kadizzle asked Mr. Hoople how he could explain Trump claiming Ukraine started the war with Russia. Mr. Hoople had a classic simple minded answer " Trump knows things we don't about the situation". Of course anyone can prevent a war by surrendering right away. 

Like every good Hooplehead the Red Hat fellow instantly turned the conversation into a referendum on transgender people. That of course is the big problem in the world. Kadizzle confronted Mr. Hoople with the fact he was no doubt a good Christian going around spreading hate for transgender people. No problem God doesn't mind a little hate now and then. When Kadizzle brought of little children starving because Trump cut off their food somehow that was fine because the food aid people were sponsoring circumcision somewhere in south Asia. 

Kadizzle finally gave up and explained calmly to the Hoople he was bug fucking crazy, then left. 

Mind boggling idiocy

Trump said Ukraine started the war with Russia. Can the super dolt be that stupid? The new planet we live on is shattering. People we know who do not work for the government are losing their jobs. The dingers are more delusional than ever.  

Wealth Inequality in America

Kadizzle woke up, if only the country would

 The sun isn't up yet and the coffee taste good. Winky is asleep just like most of the country. Trump has trampled our democracy. Recently Kadizzle signed up on Facebook to be a friend of Scott Hennen. Scott Hennen is a right wing liar just like the local KMOG rats. Scott Hennen is in North Dakota and is an ass kisser of the first degree. Hennen worships the original lying rat Rush Limbaugh. 

A few years back good old Scott lied about Kadizzle on his radio show. Apparently someone at the radio station had some integrity and made Scott call Kadizzle and apologize for the lie. Scott had a hard time admitting he lied and blamed it on someone else. These radio rats are all over the country. KMOG is a local classic. All of these right wing radio shows use the same propaganda style. Scott would hang up on Kadizzle when Kadizzle lived in North Dakota. The North Dakota radio station KFYR was an exact copy of KMOG. KMOG will not let Kadizzle confront the lying. Both radio stations do the same thing. They hang up the phone then lie about you so you cannot defend yourself. 

Erin writes about the precious Sylvie having a good time in New York

Yesterday this girl called me from her Times Square hotel bathroom in tears of joy, saying she had just lived one of the best days of her life. She is loving getting to be a part of a professional Broadway production, interacting and learning from the original cast of Anastasia, who did a talkback for the kids at the end of their rehearsal.

The stars of the show told these young actors not to give up on their big dreams and shared their own inspiring stories of resilience and perseverance and making it on Broadway against all odds. Sylvie was moved to tears talking to the director, telling her how much this experience has meant to her.

Then last night, she got to see Hadestown just a few rows back from the stage on Allison Russell’s and Lillias White’s final performances, playing Persephone and Hermes respectively. She said the she could see every expression on the actors’ faces and that they were crying throughout the performance, as was Sylvie. She said it was one of the most beautiful, moving shows she has ever seen, especially as she gets ready to play Persephone herself.

There is nothing better in the world than seeing your child do something they love and pursuing what makes them happy. She told me she was so grateful that we support her in following her heart and passion for theatre. As parents you don’t always know that you are doing the right thing, but this sure made me feel like we have helped her find her path to the thing that lights her up.

Cannot wait to see her in the production of Anastasia tonight at the Lincoln Center - a bucket list item for all of us.

Flood the zone

Lately, Kadizzle can’t stop thinking about pheasant hunting. Anyone who’s done it knows the feeling—a sudden explosion of wings as a flock takes flight right in front of you. The chaos is overwhelming. You have to pick just one bird and take your shot, but the sheer number makes it hard to focus.

That’s exactly what’s happening in politics right now. President Musk and his bootlicker Trump have flooded the field with so much corruption and deceit that it’s impossible to keep track. This chaos isn’t accidental—it’s a strategy. Distraction is Trump’s greatest tool, and the Hoopleheads fall for it every time, moving as predictably as a school of fish or a flock of sheep.

Back to hunting—we called it "flock shooting." When the confusion is too great, you just fire into the mass and hope you hit something. That’s where the Democrats find themselves now. Billionaires are swarming, rigging the system in their favor. But who do you aim at first?

Then there’s the train. Trump’s followers stand shivering at the station, waiting for promises that will never arrive. “The train is coming,” he tells them. “Just be patient.” Meanwhile, he’s picking their pockets. By the time they realize the truth, he’ll be long gone—with everything they had.

Ezra Klien New York Times

 The Kadizzle wife made him watch a video in the New York Times. If you want a good description of how we lost the country watch it. A verse to a song is " It's all over now baby blue".  Overwhelmed by stupidity the Hoopleheads now are running wild. Met a dinger woman in the grocery store she said " It will get better".  This is an acknowledgement that Trump is failing by a Hooplehead. They will support him even though they know he is marching us down the road to dictatorship. 

Another article describes how the courts can have power. The courts are our last hope, but that is hopeless. Trump will trample the courts, and the courts have no army. As Rome burns we fiddle. There will be protest on Monday all across the country. Good people will stay home and fart while Trump destroys one more part of our government. 

We got em right here, flag wavers. Good people who think everything is OK. Bullshit, the felon and the billionaire are wrecking havoc. Musk's own little four year old who told Trump " You need to shut up" knows the game. The kid knows his dad is president not the golf dog. 

How will all this unwind. Putin is dancing with joy. Trump has handed Ukraine to Putin and is destroying the European alliance. Meanwhile Vance is cheering German Nazis. Can it get any more insane?

The country is shattered, but you don't care

 The coffee is fine, the heat feels good, looks like the sun will shine today. So who cares if people are starving and the mafia has taken over the government. What me worry. Might ride my bike today, sit in the sun and watch the American Nazi party take over. Until they knock on my door and put me in jail again, why should I care. Yes the Republican already had Kadizzle jailed overnight for calling in to KMOG radio and questioning a MAGA liar. Very unpleasant being stripped searched, having my bunghole checked for contraband, and spending that night in jail. Just a warning from the Trump mafia, but who cares? 

Nothing matters until I don't get coffee and have a warm place to shit. Then its game on, but it is too late. 

This morning we will have Donuts with Democrats. Rueben Galego our Congressional rep is featured in the New York Times. Read it and learn from his wisdom. Democrats are whimps, that is why we lose. Simple minded people want strong vocal rats like Trump. Democrats need to get some balls and be more aggressive if we are going to take back the country. The ship is sinking very quickly. 

Democracy in a meat grinder

Trump is grinding up every principle our country stands for. Trump is the ultimate con man. It is incomprehensible how Americans can sit on their hands while the Trump gang loots the country. All that is bad enough but on a worldwide basis it is even worse. People ARE starving because of Trump. Putin is in ecstacy knowing Trump is his lickspittle. If Satan had a son it would be Donald Trump. Reality is not even considered by Trump. The planet is melting and Trump is asking for more fuel. Meanwhile the comfortable are comfortable and don't give a damn. As the ship sinks you are fine until it reaches your floor. So have fun, watch some sports, and keep pretending it is happening to other people. 

Sex and Republicans

The GOP’s Obsession with Transgender People: A Distraction from Real Problems

The world is facing serious, existential challenges. Donald Trump continues his assault on democracy, the climate crisis threatens life as we know it, geopolitical tensions are escalating—China may soon invade Taiwan—and millions of people around the world are struggling just to survive.

And yet, what do Republicans fixate on? Transgender people.

At a recent town council meeting in Payson, the local Hoopleheads found a way to turn every issue into a rant about transgender people. The biggest concern? The fairness of sports if a transgender athlete is involved. Really? With everything going on in the world, this is the hill they want to die on?

Talk to any right-wing Trump supporter, and before long, the conversation will turn to the supposed “threat” of transgender rights. It’s almost a reflex at this point.

The Republican obsession with sex and gender has always been baffling. Why are their minds constantly focused on what people do in their personal lives? Why, in the face of global crises, do they zero in on who uses which bathroom or who plays on which sports team?

The answer is simple: It’s a distraction. By inflaming culture wars, they avoid addressing the real problems facing Americans—problems they have no real solutions for. The economy, healthcare, infrastructure, climate change—these require serious policy discussions. But scapegoating a tiny fraction of the population? That’s easy. It riles up their base, keeps the donations flowing, and distracts from the fact that they have nothing of substance to offer. 

Whiners and Bitchers

 Town Hall had a packed audience yesterday. The Hoopleheads were plentiful. The bitching and whining went on for a long time. It was the usual salad of insane accusations. The Hooples have no sense of decorum and as usual acted like teenagers. 

It was a series of accusations, insults, and crazy demands. 

The Hooples love to hear one of their mentally ill get up and talk crazy talk. The stars were a couple of women who shouted unintelligible nonsense at the commission. One dinger insisted the temporary town manager be fired. No reason was given. 

If you want to see the Trump cult mental illness first hand a town council meeting is a good bet. Another choice is a Tea Party meeting. Trump was elected by the people off their medication. 

President Musk was in the Oval Office with his little boy. The young kid looked about two or three. Before X (that is the kid's name) picked his nose he told Trump " You need to shut your mouth".  President Elon among other things admitted he lied. Of course lying is acceptable to the cult members, it is just one tool in the box. 

Trump was seated at the desk and Musk was standing there spewing dictator stuff. It is alleged the little boy, X said to Trump " What are you doing sitting in my daddy's chair?".  

The complete meltdown of our country is here. You can see it locally or watch President Musk in action. 

The Bomb hit pretty close

 The madman who is now our dictator has no clue of the havoc he is wrecking on the world. Someone close to us who does not work for the government lost his job because of Trump's insanity. That is bad, but worse yet are the people actually starving because madman cut off aid. Two psychopaths running our country. Adolf Trump and President Musk are clueless about the secondary damage they do with their dictatorship. The ripples will soon be felt through the economy. When it gets personal you will see it differently. 

Tommy Fleming -Hard Times

What brought us the depression? The rich took it all, and nothing was left for the common man. People figured it out and taxed the rich. Now the lesson has to be learned all over again. President Musk and his buddy Trump are setting up the government to finish off the peasants. Have we learned anything, Nope.  Listen to the song and feel where we are headed. 

RD and raging mental illness

RD zoomed into the neighborhood in his usual fashion. RD speeds down our street and then turns around and comes back. Apparently RD is just checking to see what is going on. RD loves orange paint in spray cans. Yesterday RD had surveyors marking his kingdom. RD loves to tell Kadizzle about how he is going to build two story homes to block the view of the good people living here. When it comes to being nuisance RD is willing to spend the money. 

RD has been a boon for the surveyors. RD makes a mess of his property and the adjoining people get their land surveyed. Then RD has his land surveyed when the neighbors complain about his ghetto decorations. RD loves to paint bushes, rocks, sidewalks and anything he can with bright orange paint. Worse yet RD likes to string bright pink surveyor tape on poles, trees and bushes. 

There is no market in Payson for two story homes and RD is so greedy he would not build a home that he could not sell. RD told Kadizzle that if Kadizzle paid him $150,000 he would not build a two story home. 

RD's revenge building idea started when the neighborhood opposed his attempt to build slum apartments in the area. The neighborhood won and RD lost. Now he is bent on revenge building. 

A normal person would take their toys and go home, but RD likes the attention his mental illness gets him. 

Living on dreams isn't easy

Yesterday was a wonderful bike ride down at Fountain hills. McDowell Mountain Park has fantastic trails that allow you to speed downhill on winding paths that challenge your idiocy.  

The locals prayed for rain, but like good Trumpers they checked the forecast first. The forecast is predicting some rain. Now that is how you cooperate with God. If only they would pray for rectal cancer for Trump. 

So here we go into another week of the dictatorship and Trump insanity. Sadly people are actually starving because of Elon Trump. Of course they are brown people and don't really count. When we get the Gaza Riviera built the brown people can serve us ice cream. 

Motorcycle dingers. After biking yesterday we went to eat. The eating place was frequented by the brave men who provide the trumpeting of motorcycle noise. Why is a loud noise manly? The dingers have loud trucks, loud motorcycles, and even blast the music loudly. Are women actually attracted to loud noises? Usually when you see a dinger making loud noises if they have a woman it is not one you would want. You call a fox with a fox call, apparently the call the dingers are using does not bring in the attractive or intelligent women. Just guessing. 

Woke up in a full blown dictatorship

King Trump and President Musk have attacked every branch of government. The press is under attack, and caved in. Insanity is rampant. Trump now has the military, the FBI, and the CIA under the rule of Musk, and we are soon going to experience the revenge and oppression of the Oligarchs. 

Tesla stock is tanking, one good sign. Food prices are not going down. Free Speech is history, and lickspittles are the new idols of the Hoopleheads. 

Where do we go from here? Look for nuclear clouds for the grand finally.  

Republican Gays may be waking up

Kadizzle sat for an hour yesterday with a gay fellow. Politics was discussed a lot. The guy is over 80 and a Trump supporter, but now he is having second thoughts. Tried to explain to him how Trump will eventually come after him to appease the evangelicals. It may have got through to him. 

Trump is a psychopath with not empathy for anyone. As the supreme con man he will do whatever he feels brings in the crowds of fools. 

Maybe the sleeping giant is awakening. Heard from some friends yesterday that they are speaking out against the dictatorship. They went to a Tesla dealership to protest President Musk. These friends never used to speak out about anything, but the time has come. If the duds will get off their ass and do something there is hope. 

Good news is the phone lines to Congress were jammed with people protesting the dictatorship. 

La Pasada the best hotel

Last night the Kadizzles slept at the La Pasada Hotel by the railroad in Winslow, Arizona. Kadizzle has decided it is the nicest hotel he has ever stayed at. It is quasi famous. Presidents, and celebrities stayed here in the heyday of the railroad. Mary Coulter designed the place. She is the woman who also designed the buildings at the Grand Canyon. The art collection at the Hotel would stir any art lover. Get you ass in gear and go to Winslow.

Many, many years ago we came through Winslow. It was a filthy town. They decided to clean it up, and the transition is a miracle. If you like trains this would be heaven. On the biggest rail line East West a train goes by about every fifteen minutes. Also Amtrack stops here. 

From my son in law that deals with foreign aid

I’m sitting at my desk writing a report for a survey we just conducted in a country in Africa, creating a chart to show that 60% of the respondents have gone an entire day and night without eating anything at all as many as 10 times in the past 30 days due to a lack of food and resources. What Elon Musk and Trump’s executive orders are doing to dismantle USAID is pulling food from the mouths of people like this. And medicine from kids dying from malaria and tuberculosis. And care from mothers giving birth. All to save a few pennies so the Republicans can brag about how they cracked down on government spending. The amount of money allocated to USAID was less than 1% of our budget last year. This isn’t about saving money. It’s a political stunt that is cruel, inhumane and immoral – and illegal. Since its founding by JFK in 1961, trucks, vests, and bags of supplies bearing the USAID logo have announced the presence of lifesaving care and assistance in parts of the world where no one else was willing or able to help. Along with doing what is right (and for Christians, doing what Jesus said we are supposed to be doing over and over and over again) those efforts have helped to create lifelong affection and appreciation for the USA around the world. Call it “soft diplomacy” or just “marketing,” it has paid immeasurable dividends, and we are a weaker, less safe, and less deserving country now that it is gone.

Dingers, Hoopleheads, Bum Walkers, and MAGA dolts

Being simple minded is an art. One key is ignoring the obvious, and loving simple solutions to complex problems. Those struggling fail to understand basic economics, or society. Lets make it simple for them. Society consist of aristocrats, and peasants. The peasants do the work and the aristocrats steal the excess the peasants produce. Very simple. Peasants need shacks to live in. Aristocats rent the peasants shacks.  

If you have capital you don't have to work, you rent the capital and use it to exploit the peasants. Peasants have no sense of value, the aristocrats know that and sell the peasants useless stuff like jewelry and tattoos. Peasants have no idea of accumulating capital to rent to other peasants, so if they get a spare dime they buy a goofy, noisy pickup truck and put a Trump sticker in the window. Peasants have no concept of how percentages or interest rates work. Worst of all peasants have no idea of how probability works. Uneducated peasants are the fruit the aristocrats harvest. Trump is the master of fooling peasants. Peasants love simple explanations. Peasants don't operate on logic, but go by feelings. If it feels good keep doing it. 

As peasants age they gradually realize they are busted flat. Trump explains to them it is not their fault. Peasants love that idea. Someone cheated the peasants and Trump tells them it is the migrants, the Democrats, and smart people. Trump tells the peasants he loves dumb people, and the peasants love him back. Meanwhile Trump robs the peasants bling and gives the money to his rich buddies. 

Does it get any better, hell yes. God invented religious peasants. The Catholic Church raped them from the beginning. Nonsense sell to the religius peasants like peanut butter. Any story works for this bunch. God wanted a con man for president, that is fine with the religious peasants. The TV preachers knew before anyone how to rape a religious person. Trump saw the gold mine of stupidity and dug in. 

New Rule

Cowards are plentiful. You can see the brave little rats in the grocery store with guns. Cowards will comment with no name. So Kadizzle is going to have a new rule for coward commenters. In your comment identify yourself as a person who voted for Trump, or a normal person. Any person who identifies as a Trump voter is usually giving a simple minded comment. Normal people will get more respect. If you are stupid and proud identify yourself as such. If you don't make the choice of either declaring yourself normal or a Trump cult person then Kadizzle at his discretion will delete your comment. Very simple, if you are proud to be in the cult, just let us know. 

Mentally Ill make life interesting

If mentally ill is going to be the topic, Trump is the winner, but there is a neighborhood mental case that keeps things lively. RD wanted to build slum apartments near the new homes where we live. The residents united and had RD defeated at the zoning commission. RD has a couple parcels of land near our development and is bent on seeking revenge for his defeat at the zoning commission. 

Our home and others have wonderful views of the mountians. RD wants to block those views. RD takes great joy in claiming he will build two story houses to block the view of Kadizzle and others. RD perceives himself as some sort of developer. In Payson there is no market for two story houses. Older people want single story homes for ease of access, but RD loves tellling Kadizzle how he is going to build a two story home just to block the view. 

RD is obsessed with the property he owns. With an orange spray can of paint RD put lines on the street, the sidewalk, rocks and bushes. Like a dog marking his territory RD has gone nuts. RD has no trespassing signs and even rope strung along his property lines. The orange paint everywhere makes the neighborhood look like the ghetto. 

Kadizzle asked RD how old he was. RD replied he was 45. RD is closer to 75, but claims because he has a 45 year old mental case for a wife he is 45. About once a day RD buzzes swiftly around the local streets then gets out and stares at his kingdom for a while. RD claim he is going to build a house for himself on his property. Kadizzle asked him why he would want to live where everyone despises him. RD claims he has one friend here. All said and done RD does add a little excitement to the area. 

We now live in a full blown dictatorship

The world as we knew it no longer exist. Monkeys appointed by Trump will tear apart the society that started in 1776. When prices rise the Hooples will awaken. That is minor compared to the surveillance that will take place. Every dictator loves spying on the masses. Sadly Trump will have a new tool. A.I will enable Trump to know when you fart. Trump's revenge game will be like nothing since the Nazis. When the Hooples see what they bought even they will be astonished. 

Yesterday accidently a right wing magazine ended up in our mail. Wow, it was full of the "Deep State".  One thing that puzzles Kadizzle immensely are people who seem rational, yet buy into the Republican insanity. 

My thoughts always come back to the people in Dresden when the city was firebombed. Those poor people were roasted alive in their basements. Hitler set it up for them. Now we have Trump. Give him time he will provoked a nuclear war. The Hoopleheads will be vaporized in an instant. The deep state will be fried for sure. Many Hooples will be found dead with their hand on the handle of a slot machine. That is the story of the Hooples existence, making a losing bet. 

Well Folks, we had a great meeting

 The donut gang had a good meeting yesterday with great attendance. A transgender couple came up from the valley. Jeff and Kadizzle were outside and met a couple of Hoopleheads in the parking lot. Kadizzle challanged the Hooples to come to the Donut Meeting. Randi a Trump Hoople took us up on the invitation. It added some spice to the meeting when she took the microphone. Her little Trump blast was interesting. Strangely she told a tale of how she had been married to a native American and how he was harassed. One would think she would see the hypocrisy of supporting King Trump. If you want to meet wonderful normal people come on down. 

Steve Banon

Winky insisted Kadizzle listen to an interview with Steve Bannon that was in the New York Times. Kadizzle was surprised the areas where he agreed with Bannon. Bannon thinks we should tax the rich. Wow, that shocked Kadizzle. It is an interesting interview and you should listen to it. Bannon seems to respect Trump, now that is puzzling. Bannon see the threat of A.I.  It was interesting how the tech billionaires ran to kiss Trump ass when he won. Bannon makes some remarks about that. 

Bannon says we are in deep shit. Could not agree more. Stupidity is a plague. Bannon admitted Trump harvested what Bannon calls " low information voters".  Maybe we should just call them what they are, stupid. 

Stupid people are a vast gold mine for Republicans. Yesterday an older woman came walking into our cul de sac.  Sitting in the sun she asked Kadizzle what he thought of Trump. Boy, did he tell her. She was shocked. She refused to believe the truth about Trump how he stole 25 million for college kids. Kadizzle asked the old lady what she thought about his idea on pussy grabbing. She asked how old he was when he said that, as if it was acceptable at a certain age. The old woman was a classic idiot. Kadizzle asked her if she watched Fox News. You know the answer.  This is the kind of idiot Trump know how to harvest.  

Dare to be Stupid

Let’s Play Dare to Be Stupid!

Looking for a game that’s fun, exciting, and absolutely unpredictable? Look no further than Dare to Be Stupid! The rules are simple: abandon logic, dismiss reason, and embrace the thrill of reckless nonsense. The beauty of this game? No one knows what will happen next. That’s the fun part!

The most important aspect of Dare to Be Stupid is staying far, far away from basic reasoning. Think of it like getting blind drunk—you charge forward without a plan, and when you wake up, you might not even remember what you did. But don’t worry! The game isn’t about reflection or self-awareness; it’s about doubling down and rebranding whatever happens as brilliance.

No one plays this game better than Donald Trump. He is the undisputed champion of Dare to Be Stupid. The easiest way to play? Say something profoundly ridiculous, like “Diversity caused the plane crash.” Instantly, other players will jump in to prove your nonsense is actually genius. Watch as they twist themselves into knots explaining how your statement is not only plausible but also profound. That’s the magic of the game!

But it doesn’t stop there. Every great round of Dare to Be Stupid needs enthusiastic cheerleaders—people who will stand up and applaud when you do something objectively absurd. They’ll chant, “That is brilliant!” while ignoring any evidence to the contrary. This is how the game stays alive: through sheer, unrelenting commitment to stupidity.

And hey, history is full of moments when someone did something stupid, and it all worked out. Just re-label it as innovation! Call it genius after the fact! The more ridiculous, the better. The goal isn’t accuracy; it’s conviction.

So, are you ready to play? Just remember: thinking is for losers. Say something stupid. Believe in it. Watch the chaos unfold. Welcome to Dare to Be Stupid!

May the best fool win.

Trump's picks are insane. Tjhe most incompetent nut cases he could find to lead our government.

How can any normal person observe RFK, Gabbard, and the otherh dolts without clearly seeing they are incompetent lickspittles. Trump has set out to destroy the country and to do so has appointed the worst possible people to head critical government agencies. 

When you think can go no lower or stupider he does. Claiming diversity policy caused the plane crash today. If you cannot figure Trump is mentally ill you are. Pure unadulterated insanity is Trump in action. What happens in the mind of a Hooplehead that lets them see Trump as normal. Someone please explain. 

Republicans can fix the tax system

Trump and his fellow rats have the power to fix the tax code that favors the rich like rain favors flowers. Will they? Hell no. Trump did not surround himself with poor people, nope Trump loves the smell of billionaires. The world would flourish if the rich paid taxes. No way Trump will let that happen, his plan is to make things worse for the peasants. The Hoopleheads can't figure it out. The Hooples thought Trump was their friend. Your friend does not steal your money and give it to the rich.  

Republicans Have the Votes to Make the Tax System Fair—But They Won’t

If Republicans truly cared about fairness, they have the power right now to fix America’s broken tax system. They control Congress, and with enough political will, they could close loopholes for the ultra-wealthy, make billionaires pay their fair share, and provide real relief to working- and middle-class families. But instead, they refuse—because their priority isn’t fairness. It’s protecting the rich and powerful at the expense of everyday Americans.

How Republicans Keep the Tax System Rigged

The Republican Party loves to talk about tax reform, but in reality, they do everything possible to keep taxes low for the rich while shifting the burden onto working people. Here’s how:

• Protecting Billionaire Loopholes – The wealthiest Americans pay far lower effective tax rates than working people, thanks to loopholes that let them shelter their income. Republicans refuse to close these gaps because their biggest donors benefit from them.
• Gutting the IRS – When billionaires and corporations dodge taxes, it costs the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars per year. The IRS needs resources to crack down on tax cheats, but Republicans fight to defund the agency, making sure their wealthy friends get away with it.
• Letting the Trump Tax Cuts Stay – The 2017 Republican tax bill overwhelmingly benefited corporations and the rich while offering temporary scraps to the middle class. Now, those middle-class cuts are set to expire, but the breaks for the wealthy remain. Republicans could fix this—but they won’t.
• Refusing a Wealth Tax – Most Americans support a tax on extreme wealth, yet Republicans block every attempt. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos grow their fortunes tax-free while working families struggle with rising costs.
• Shifting the Burden to You – Instead of taxing corporations and billionaires fairly, Republicans push for higher sales taxes, cuts to Social Security, and attacks on Medicare—forcing ordinary people to pay more while the rich hoard wealth.

They Have the Votes. They Just Don’t Care.

Republicans could pass real tax reform that benefits working Americans tomorrow if they wanted to. They have the votes. They control the agenda. But their donors and corporate allies won’t let them. Instead, they’ll keep pretending that “trickle-down economics” works while the rich get richer and the middle class gets squeezed.

The solution is clear: we need to elect leaders who will fight for real tax fairness—not politicians who serve billionaires. Until then, the Republican Party will continue to rig the system against you.
