Middle Aged Man Finally Gets His Chance To Go To A Summer of Love

Young people growing up in the backward, conservative culture of the 1980s in rural Wisconsin responded in different ways. Some bought it hook, line, and sinker and indulged in hunting and fishing, mullets, beer drinking, and complaining about the Packers. Others went to college seeking a better life and a bigger world to be a part of. Most of those who fled never went back. “I always wished I could have lived in the 1960s with the hippies,” stated Texas teacher Jimmy Hoskins who grew up in the small town of Sparta, Wisconsin. “But I was born at the end of the sixties. So I was stuck living in Reagans’s America,” Hoskins complained, referring to the Republican President who dominated the politics of the 1980s. “And the pop culture seemed so saturated by bubblegum corporate crap.” Hoskins was recently attending a teacher union conference in Chicago and found himself among colleagues from across the nation and the whole world. Teachers from Argentina asked him which decade in America he ...

Churches Claim To Be BLM Protests So They Can Reopen

Responses by religious leaders to the coronavirus shutdowns are not all the same. Some Christian pastors have defied government orders to cease congregating, while others are waiting it out to protect the elderly and vulnerable in their flock. Those resisting government authorities have been threatened with fines and been ordered to disband by police. Unsure where to turn for relief, some preachers are aligning with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.  “Conservative Republicans weren’t ensuring our 1st Amendment rights to assemble in our church and worship God,” commented Josh Daniels, a Texas preacher from Bryan, Texas. “We needed a real alibi … I mean ally.” Even though many politicians had previously chastised anyone for violating the stay at home orders for any reason at all, fighting racism in the proscribed fashion of protests that lead to violence has not received the same vitriol by liberals. Churches saw an opportunity. “We said we were a BLM protest and accused the cop...

Police Killing of Black Man in Minneapolis Reignites Black Lives Matter Street Protests

Was it going to be the disproportionate number of black and brown people dying from Covid-19? Or the huge number of deaths in nursing homes that affected Blacks and Hispanics? Or that people of color faced the toughest working conditions without proper PPEs? Or that poor black children were affected most by the shutdown of schools with online learning not reaching them? No, it took the hatred of police and white guilt to bring out the left wing protests. Amid peaceful protests, anarchists engaged in provocations against the police and widespread destruction of property. These activists previously mocked and reviled the right-wing protesters for threatening their lives with public displays of anger at the lock downs imposed by Democrats. “I wore a mask and social distanced so I’m good. And the people who didn’t are oppressed so they can’t be expected to follow the rules of privileged white folks,” an Anglo protester argued. “Destroying the Target was a way to keep the workers safe. Now ...

Effort to Destroy Trump with MK-ULTRA Reboot Ends Quickly For Teacher

Cold War tensions influenced many American officials to take actions that seem problematic today. Throughout the period of conflict between the democratic United States and the Communist Soviet Union, both sides threatened nuclear annihilation, used chemical and biological warfare in third-world countries, and used government surveillance of domestic protest movements to suppress them. Such actions would shock many Americans today. But one man’s determination to assist his country and protect it from an existential threat has seen a resurrection of one of the most peculiar and bizarre Cold War clandestine activities. The MK-ULTRA program endeavored to control someone's mind through drugs and other brainwashing techniques. “I believe in the strategies that the CIA used decades ago,” commented Ted Franklin, private school teacher and Democratic voter. “We can change the world and protect it from the fascist Donald Trump and his minions.” “My conservative friends can’t say an opinion ...

Jobs Of Many Working Class People Are Deemed Essential - The People Themselves Are Not

The entertaining version of U.S. military aircraft named the Thunderbirds stormed across the sky to delight residents across the Austin area to celebrate and honor workers on the frontline. The enthralling display of military air power and prestige by the Thunderbirds has been crossing America recently. “Some people think it's not a good use of money right now, but they’d be paying those pilots right now anyway,” commented Ann Arbor radio talk show host Mark Moran. “Would you rather have them flying in a war zone killing people?” Government authorities required workers at groceries, food producers, health care facilities to go to work, but public officials didn’t require their employers to make sure they got the protective gear the workers needed. “These jobs are essential,” stated Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “Well the people are too, as long as they’re working.” “We need someone to handle those jobs so the rest of us can survive and go on with our lives. We appr...

Elementary School Teachers Put In Charge Of Covid-19 Crisis Response Team By Democrats

Tough choices need to be made during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the big question is who will be put in charge of making those difficult decisions. Democratic politicians across the country have turned to the most trusted group in America who handle the most challenging decisions on a day-by-day, minute-by-minute basis - elementary school teachers. “Teachers know how to micromanage the behaviors of little children who don’t know how to behave, and that’s the attitude we need right now to keep everyone from harming themselves and others,” declared Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. “Elementary teachers got this,” Pritzker assured his constituents.  “Our people need to be given simplistic messages about either following the rules or dying,” stated New York Governor Mario Cuomo. “What’s worse than death? The disease is death. What’s worse than that?” responded Cuomo to a reporter asking if the attempted “cure” of lockdowns and economic collapse instituted by governors like him might be w...

Heavy Drinking Might Be Greatest Preventer Of Covid-19 Disease

Supplies of ordinary groceries ran thin during the panic over the coronavirus, but reserves of beer and wine have kept the alcohol shelves full. And now we have evidence that might have been the best prophylactic for a novel virus pandemic. “Beer producers rely on the old models of stocking up high with product and knowing we’ll sell it eventually,” stated Paul Sterling, spokesperson for the National Association of Beer Producers. “While others went on to a just-in-time production model, we stayed with practices that brought us profits. There’s never a big downturn in alcohol sales, only upticks,” explained Sterling.  Many people are staying home and dealing with families they don’t always like. Others who live alone deal with depression and loneliness. Whatever your situation, you’re likely to drink more.  “I always had the rule of no drinking the night before going to work. But I haven’t had to go to my job in weeks. So having a drink, or two, every night fits with the rule,...
