No real difference between commies and fascists

And Maher shows that it's true. Even though that may not have been his intention.

The left-right political spectrum is BUNK. The thing that's bunk is that they're opposites. They are NOT OPPOSITES. There's not a dime's worth of difference between the two.

As for me, I don't care if you get to this truth via Bill Maher, or by way of this blog. The truth is the truth.

Yes, and Hitler and Stalin kicked off World War II with a non-aggression treaty. The Weimar Republic was destroyed via the left and the right because neither of them care much for "democracy". You might want to put that into consideration the next time you hear about the "political spectrum".

Here's Maher's tweet:

People say the left and the right can’t agree on anything these days. But there is this one thing: pic.twitter.com/G1ZTTb3ppk

Posting may be light for awhile

More about the Twilight Zone than what anyone bargained for...



5/15/26:

The term "Twilight Zone" was used in this post (before updating). Perhaps I wasn't clear what the term was supposed to mean. It may have helped if I was more familiar with the TV show from what back then. Maybe it was on the TV when I was little, but I just don't remember it much. What does Twilight Zone mean to me? In a word, "weird". It had that weird music that introduced it. Rod Serling would give his speech. Actually the speech may have come afterward. Either way, it just seemed weird. That's what I meant. It was "weird".

The re-runs are on Tubi, and I watched a few episodes. What seemed weird before does not seem so weird now. It helps to be more familar with the words one uses. After watching a few of these episodes, I don't think I would've used the term "Twilight Zone" this way. Just thought I would mention that. Over and out.

4/29/26:

Did my doctor's visit. My fears were a bit overblown. There's something that needs to be handled, but it is manageable. That's all I got on this. Posting will resume. As Roseann Rosanna Dana would say: "Never mind!"

4/26/26:

There might be something going on medically that I need to attend to.

Don't want to be morbid, but this may not be too good.

Anyway, I am up at an hour in which I am usually asleep. I checked the news (big mistake?), and discover that there was a shooting at the event that POTUS was attending. Another assassination attempt.

Good Lord.

Update:

A doctor's visit has been scheduled, so there's that.

Since I mentioned the incident at an event in DC? ( apparent assassination attempt), I'll add this to this update. Here's something that's going around apparently. (False Flag accusation.)

You idiots who think Trump is staging assassination attempts. You think he would agree to a plan wherein someone STOPS HIM FROM TROLLING A CAPTIVE ROOM OF THOUSANDS OF JOURNALISTS FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF? This is his dream scenario.

"May you live in interesting times" seems an appropriate quote right now. This is straight out of the Twilight Zone.

Primary Run-off coming up

Early voting begins on the 18th. It doesn't last all that long. Voting day is on the 26th.

In Texas, you don't have to be registered to either party to vote in the primary. However, for run-offs, you have to stick with the same party. You can't jump parties.

Not too sure if you failed to vote in the first round, if you can vote in the run-off. Maybe you can't vote now if you didn't vote before. Since I voted, I can vote. I will vote. That is, unless I drop dead first.

The first round wasn't too good in my case. I wasn't as prepared as I should've been. Now I am better prepared.

Texas votes on just about everything. That's because of the Constitution adopted after Reconstruction from the Civil War. There was a governor who wouldn't leave. For awhile, Texas had two governors. After that crisis was resolved, the state decided it didn't need a strong governor. So, the governor's office is relatively weak. One way to weaken the governor was to have a lot of elective offices. Thus, the Texas governor cannot appoint his own people.

Having a long ballot requires a lot of effort on the part of voters. Some embarrassments are probably unavoidable. One year, many years ago, a candidate with a well known name won, but was not in any way related to the individual who had that famous name. The guy turned out to be a crook. How embarrassing.

I'd rather not vote for anyone that I don't have some solid information about. Know what I mean, Vern?

No posts yesterday.

So what did I do yesterday?

The following video is an oversimplification of what I watched yesterday in a video. It must've been over an hour in length. This video is much shorter. It is also easier to watch. The longer video is hard to watch. Very, very brutal. Here's how Caesar defeated the Gauls...

Ten Years After --- Year 3000 Blues

5/15/26:

Idiocracy or high-tech dystopia? Name your poison...

4/21/25:

Like the Idiocracy, The Year 3000 Blues seems to have arrived early. The album was released in the early 70's.

 

Lyrics:

hey took me down the grading station

And they classified me zed

'cause of over population

They told me that I would soon be dead



But I slipped out of the force field

And hid beneath the monorail

But the automatic blood hounds

Lord, they're soon hot along my trail



Now if I had been a scholar

With computer working hard

Then my molecular structure

Would not be on the grader's card



So, I know that they will get me

Put my index in the brain

Then, the atoms of my body

Will be disposed of, lordy, down the drain



They took me down the grading station

And they classified me zed

'cause of over population

They told me that I would soon be dead

The author here is familiar, as well as the subject matter. However, I cannot find any other examples of the author's work on this blog. How to fix that? I've got a database of videos that I've almost forgotten about.

Anyway, here's the video. First, let's put in the channel info:

Ziroth

and the video:

More locations being contemplated for Starship launches

The one is Lousiana is in a swamp. I had a delivery out there in that area once, and I thought I was going to get eaten alive by mosquitoes.

If he's going to launch people from point-to-point on the Earth, he'd better do something to upgrade the facility, know what I mean Vern?

Nearest towns to this location in Louisiana could be Lake Charles and Lafayette. Of course, the Big Easy isn't terribly far, but not close either.
