Shanika said Kadizzle rants too much. Sister Patty had a scathing review of her brother on the phone. Constructive criticism is good. If you have a beef write it in the comments. Kadizzle like everyone else needs an occasional slap in the face. Republicans do their best to provide that slap, but that doesn't mean as much as a good hit from a rational person. 

Did the morning review of CNN, NPR, and NYT.  Chris Christie is what a Republican should be, wrong, but with a good dose of reality. Now, the other two dingers Niki, and DeSantis have been forced to go after the rat. Of course it is a delicate rat hunt. On the other hand Christie is giving the Donald a good slap. 

The snowflakes here at moments outnumbered the Hoopleheads. It has been cold, and dreary, unusual weather for Payson. Immediate results, that is what people want, but the world doesn't work that way. The people shredding their paychecks at the casino want to be rich in less than an hour. Investing is different from gambling. You can get ahead by investing, gambling rarely works. The local brain dead don't see taxation as an investment. To a Hooplehead a tax is something invented by a Democrat to punish a Republican. Payson is starving for funds. One of the local Hooples says " Get the money from the federal government".  Trickle down has starved the federal government. Republicans just cannot comprehend that when you buy the rich yachts with tax breaks there is no money for roads, schools, and health care. 

Judging the brain of Trump cultist

Kadizzle has been going back and forth with the Trump cultist on social media. You can zero in on the malfunctioning brain of these people by noting how challenged they are when it comes to writing. A lack of vocabulary is one common element.  One of simple minded loves the invented word "demtard".  Adding tard to a word is something these childish people love to do. More than likely they suffered some childhood insult on the playground. Another mystifying thing the cultist do is claim you are angry if you disagree with them. In any case it is easy to see they are troubled when trying to converse. Rarely do they respond with more than a short sentence. The cultist key in on special words like socialism, liberal, communist, leftists, and so on. The cultist believe all they have to do to win a discussion is put a label on someone. Trump uses that tactic and the Hoopleheads follow suit. Childish argument and talk is what the Hoopleheads love, and that explains their infatuation with Trump. 

Here we go

Here we go, the week is off to a slow start. First, get the nose burned. A radiation treatment is in order. Winky is down at the lake working on the trails making America safe for hiking. A lot of people have been sick, but are better in the last couple of days. That means out in the cul de sac there have been some cackle storms. Standing in the driveway we have been chatting with the neighbors. Grandpa down the street is having fits with the flag pole. It has been raised and lowered about three times. The last time we think Charlie forgot to turn on the solar light at the top, so once more take down the thirty foot pole and put it back up. Patriotism is not easy. 

The snollygoster

The trail crew came up to Payson for an excellent dinner cooked by Jasper Littlebottom. During the dinner a conversation about words ensued. Kadizzle looked up old English words and found the word snollygoster. Donald Trump is the poster boy for a snollygoster, a shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician. 

Here we go into 2024, and it could be the most critical year we live through. If the snollygoster gets elected the country will be damaged possibly beyond repair. Imagine a population that choses a snollygoster to destroy the country. It could easily happen. Stupidity is raging. Those that are conscious are shaking their heads in disbelief. This too will pass, maybe not. When the snollygoster starts his revenge tour violence may ensue. 

Don't Believe Everything You Think

At every meeting one fellow comes in with something interesting on his T shirt and head. This was yesterdays contribution. Kadizzle like the hat so well he had to order one. 

Without question this is the best advice you could ever give a Hooplehead. Hoopleheads tune into Fox or listen to a conspiracy speaker and the next thing you know they are doing their version of thinking. This is where the train goes off the track. The Hoople unfortunately believe what they think. Often what they think is what Donald tells them. All of us have caught ourselves thinking something wrong. Jasper Littlebottom has fizzlers. What in the hell is a fizzler? Your brain gets some information, you brain comes to a conclusion. What is the problem with that? It usually works, but it can be a major problem if your brain did not wait until it got enough information. Police officers shoot the wrong people. Israeli soldiers shoot hostages. Republicans are classic with coming to a conclusion based on insufficient information. If you get enough information a good brain will conclude Donald Trump is a con man. If your brain is not coming to this conclusion reset it or ask for professional help. 
 

Brave gunman patrols Safeway grocery store

 Today at the grocery store Kadizzle met this brave gunman. First Kadizzle asked him if the gun was real. Of course it is. Kadizzle asked the gunman what the danger was? The gunman said he had to protect himself. From what? Kadizzle asked. Do we have to shop with nut cases like this? Kadizzle talked to the store manage and asked them to prevent the gun crazed from carrying their cannons in the store. What if this mental case fires at a perceived threat and hits and innocent shopper in the next isle? Having this mental illness on parade while you shop is discomforting. Many years we have shopped and never been attacked by an onion, carrot or even a tomato. 

Don't let the truth intrude.

Locally there is a group called Transparent Payson. It could be called prostitutes against sex. The last thing the group is, is Transparent. Yesterday their version of Glenn Beck was on local Radio Station KMOG. Kadizzle tried to call in and as the provocator a question. Immediately the host hung up on Kadizzle. "Your not allow to call in" was his response. Why? The answer is simple you might ask a question that reveals the false premises the Transparent guy is spouting. Paul Fromelt is the bitcher for the Transparent group. Paul has a lot of complaints, but no solutions. The town needs to be funded. Republicans don't want the wealthy to pay taxes, so someone has to pay for the ticket. In the end the same old goats that elected Trump have to pay the price of electing Republicans. When Republicans shovel money to the top, the bottom starves. Now, Paul Fromelt comes along and cooks up a conspiracy. There is plenty of money, and people should vote of taxes.  Anyone can bitch about taxes, but few have the courage to raise them. No Republican would dare tax the rich. That is why Payson is in this mess. Trickle down, trickled up and now we are broke.  You see the mind of the Hoopleheads in action at the grocery store buying lottery tickets. That is the solution. False hope, and lies are the fertilizer of the Republican party and the crop is idiots. Someone has to sprinkle the stories, and Paul does his best. 

Kadizzle drove to KMOG after they rudely hung up on him. At the radio station Kadizzle asked for an explanation.  The generalities fell like the rain, but they just could not answer the question " Exactly what did I ever do or say that you will not tolerate?" They knew they were cornered. What they cannot tolerate is the truth. Kadizzle was going to ask Paul Fromelt when he was on the air " What is your solution to the town raising the money it needs to operate?".  That question would have been legitimate, and very difficult for Mr. Fromelt to answer. That is the kind of question you don't ask at the Tea Party or when Paul Fromelt is fromenting lies on the radio. 

Something is wrong

Just toured the Ohio valley where Kadizzle was born and raised. The videos are depressing. The houses are run down the towns have shrunk, and the entire situation is just plain depressing. Every time Kadizzle tours the East coast same reaction. Suddenly it occurred to me why people are willing to go for Trump. People have a natural sense they have been robbed. If life isn't working out for you, you need someone to blame. In these towns that once made America great, there is not industry. The steel industry, the glass industry, and even the coal industry is gone. 

People watch television and they see other people with decent homes, and lives, and incomes, but it aint workin for them. The poverty in this country is insane. When you look at the average income of people in West Virginia and the busted flat southern states you realize some people moved ahead, but a lot were left behind. People end up thinking " anything would be better than this" .  That is the appeal of Trump, he is something different. In a sea of ignorance everything looks like a life raft. The regular politicians have miserably failed so many people. The dumb Hoopleheads say, " Lets try a dictator". 

History, that lesson teacher. Germany was a mess after world war one. Well lets try something, anything, the Germans figured. Why not some crazy man who promises change. The best part of Hitler was he said it is not your fault. Sound familiar? How did the old snake oil salesmen work the crowd? The promise of change. Lottery tickets and gambling tell you how desperate people are.  In the old days people saved and invested, those days are gone. Now you bet ten dollars on change, and  you lose.  Next you bet democracy on a nut case like Trump, and lose again. 

It all comes back to the same thing. People have been pillaged by the one percent. The rich took the money and moved to enclaves of prosperity leaving the Hoopleheads in the dust. With their heads spinning wondering why they are broke the picking for Trump is ripe. Just like Hitler all it takes is a story. The essence of the story is it is not your fault. China, migrants, and liberals are the people who have left you in a slum shack. I can fix that. Yup, sounds good to me. 

Up extremely early

Kadizzle just could not sleep, so the hulking lump of humanity got up and took a shower. Outside the stars were shinning, indicating a nice day ahead. Winky is down at the Lake making the trails safe for democracy. 

At 9:00 on KKKMOG right wing radio the Hoopleheads will attack the mayor. The Hooples love Trump and are against sunshine. The progressive city council wants to move forward, but the Hoopleheads cannot stand the idea of paying for anything. Moving forward means razing taxes. Since the simple minded gave all the money in the form of tax breaks to the rich there is nothing left to run the little towns like Payson. What do you do? You have to raise taxes. The Luddites don't understand math. Life is a zero sum game. What you give to the rich, you don't have for yourselves, it is that simple.  The trickle down ruse worked the Hooples were told if you gave the rich money you would be rich. The lottery works the same way and the same idiots play the lottery. If you buy a ticket you will win, but you don't, you lose every time. The sad part is the Hoopleheads never get any smarter. 

So today on the radio the Hooples will tell the mayor he has millions of dollars the town has been hiding. The simple minded have been shown by auditors, and accounts this just isn't true, but it is the old Trump game, you just keep lying and that makes it true. 

Changing the subject, Winky came up with something interesting the other day. You cannot run for president three times. If indeed Trump won as he claimed, Trump has been president two times. So if the lying scum believes his own lies, he is disqualified. 

The world has spun out of control

 Shanika called yesterday to let Kadizzle know he was needed back home. The dragline over near Beulah fell in the pit. Kadizzle worked in this type of mine with this machinery for many years. On two occasions we almost lost one of these huge machines. These draglines are the largest moving machine on dry earth. It is hard for someone who has not seen a real one to invision how large they are. The bucket that scoops the dirt will hold three buses. 

The planet is getting cooked, yet we go about our merry way. What me worry?  Kadizzle will soon turn 75 and it will not be that many years before Kadizzle cashes out. However, those left behind may fry. The planet is warming up far faster than anyone thought possible. The dingers, Hoopleheads, and simple minded just don't care or understand the implications. One thing predicted long ago were the mass migrations of people. Well, here they come. 

Now does all this seem bad? How could you make it worse? Very easy elect Donald Trump the madman, insane with greed, hate, and stupidity.  The Hoopleheads like nothing better than throwing gasoline on the fire. 

The depression slapped people into consciousness, planet Earth is about to get a big slap. 

Tilting the Earth

 The Earth has started tilting the other way, so morning will soon break. The desert bike ride was very nice. Deserts make perfect bike riding. The slope is always gentle, and the sand makes a perfect track. Six of us buzzed along for 14 miles. Tucson has some very nice bike areas. Our friends home sits in a wonderful place with a perfect view of the Catalina Mountains. Al loves building, welding, and putting his touch of art in his projects. Strangely that even though they have a very nice home, they prefer to camp in their fifth wheel trailer in the back yard, that means guest have the house to themselves. First time in a hot tub in a long time. 

Back in Payson and into the old routine. Winter so far has been very mild. Jasper Littlebottom will head down to the lake today to make the world safe for democracy. 

The Trump insanity just gets more crazy all the time. A rumor is going wild about Trump using "Toe Pads" to help him stand up. Some say it is an indication of mental problems. Do you need much to realize Trump has severe mental problems. 

Fire belly

 Wonderful meal with friends celebrating Christmas. The spicy food and drinks took a toll. Biking today in the Tucson desert.Hopefully everyone will enjoy the holiday.

What? Got an add from the National Cremation Society

 Kadizzle feels real old right now, just got a letter from the National Cremation society. Wonder if someone recommended me. Told Jasper Littlebottom what seasoning I wanted them to use. Hope they salvage what they can. A lot of good fat that smells like cheeseburger will be there. Give my knees to the needy, and save my love for Winky. If my eyes still work give the to someone in the Trump cult so they can see through the fog. Be careful what you do with the brain it may confuse someone. 

Make sure they do not put me in the oven if I die from drinking. The explosion from the alcohol's fumes could be deadly. Put my ashes in the punch at the Republican Christmas banquet. Many predict Kadizzle will die from lead poisoning. 

Ryan Downey - Running (Official Video)

Kadizzle often gets a song stuck in his head, this is a good one, give it a try. 

Off to Tucson

 The Kadizzles will drive down to Tucson for some time with old friends. Tucson is too dry, and a little too crowded, but it does have the Catalina Mountains. May get some snow today. Rain came down on and off all night. 

Just watched a video on CNN. A reporter showed to prosperous farmers the clip of Trump making Nazi remarks. The farmers have to hire immigrants to get their crops in. Both were taken aback by Trump imitating Hitler. Maybe there is some hope. 

The big boss is back from the lake

Shouting commands, and inspecting the premises, General Littlebottom stormed into the castle last evening. The tranquility of a singe existence was shattered. 

So rain will fall today. Kadizzle is trying to shake his addiction to toying with the Hoopleheads on facebook. Busting their Trump illusions is too much fun to resist. Kadizzle needs to go cold turkey. The ability of the Hoopleheads to ignore Trump's words, his crimes, and the insanity he projects is astounding. Hooples have completely forgotten how Trump was found guilty of stealing 25 million from college students. When Trump clearly states he will seek revenge on his first day in office, the Hooples just don't seem to register what that means. Now, there is more evidence recorded of Trump telling people to cheat on his behalf. It just does not penetrate the cult cloud. 

One fun thing to do with the Hoopleheads on facebook is ask them to admit they voted for Trump. Strangely they will not do it. Deep down in the Hoople mind they know they are not that bright. They also know their support for Trump is hard evidence they are mentally challenged. The way their minds work is fascinating. They can screen out all real evidence about Trump with some sort of magic. 

What we do

The Forest Service in their infinite insanity bought the volunteer trail crew a brand new chainsaw, but we are not allowed to use it. So we have to winch large trees from the trail. It works, but cutting the tree up would work better. Of course the Forest Service wants to protect old goats from themselves, but Kadizzle just spent hours in New York with a chainsaw clearing land for his daughter. Came home with all appendages. Might be old, but not that stupid. 

 

Playing with the Hoopleheads

Facebook is a disease. Kadizzle's family said he had to quit. Playing with the Hoopleheads was just too much fun, and addiction is to easy. For over a year Kadizzle stayed away from the facebook drug. However, one taste of Hooplehead bashing and he was hooked again. Toying with the brain of the Hooples is like working on a puzzle. 

When a Hoople is corned with logic they always say you are hateful. Trump is a religion, and so much that pops up when you speak to a religious person also pops up when you deal with anyone in the Trump cult. Hooples equate rational thinking with being mean. How does this happen. Deep in their head they know you are destroying their illusion. If someone dresses up like an idiot, but thinks they are gorgeous, do you tell them the truth?If you do you are mean. 

When the doctor tells you that you need to lose weight, is he mean?The Hooples are happy in the bubble don't break it. 

Looking Back

What happened? The year went by. As you get old time passes at the speed of light. Here were are two years into our new home with other houses sprouting nearby. It has been a good year suppressing the Hoopleheads. General Donut got the Tea Party thrown out of their nest. We got our encampment set up at the lake. Our trip to Spain was fun, and the wife may be enticed to do more international travel. Sylvie the granddaughter with the nickname the Giant has been such a wonderful girl with the best grades possible, and her singing and acting at the Denver School of Arts has gone well. Sylvie is now as tall as her dad and grandpa. The two little ones of Megan are growing like weeds. Megan is starting a new career as an interior decorator. Her own house turned out great after a complete remodel. 

As our neighborhood fills up everyone is getting to know each other. We are blessed with good neighbors. The artist down the street is getting his house built.  We have three good Democrats for. sure in the new mix. The rest have fallen into the Republican trap, but we still like them. The road in front of the house is done and they may open it up soon. 

Kadizzle is up to his bunghole in local politics. We have a great town council willing to fight the Hooples and their backward ways. The Democrats have been pushing back and General Donut has a lot of confidence in the future. Kadizzle is not so sure. The number of dolts, dingers, Hoopleheads, and just plain simple minded idiots is staggering. The people living in castles have no idea how the peasants think and live. We could be in deep trouble. The upcoming election will make or break the country. Either the sun will shine or we are doomed with a Trump dictatorship. 

Up at six, to move a big log today

 Could not fall back asleep, so Kadizzle had to take a settler. Awake now we are getting ready to head up Campaign Creek. Near Peter Bigfoots encampment the goal is to remove a very large tree from the trail. The work will be done with mechanical advantage, winches, and pullies. er 

Peter Big foot is getting old, probably eighty. Peter established his survival school long ago. Peter lives very remotely with no city services such as water, electricity, or phone. Peter stays alive by gardening with his remarkable skills that produce the best produce imaginable. Winky is going to buy some vegetables from Bigfoot. 

Here we sit in the Earth module preparing for today's volunteer work. With the fake fireplace and another electric heater we are cozy.
