El Libertador

Rubio is best known on Twitter (sic) for posting inoffensive out of context Bible passages -- Cody Fenwick

I was in poor form last evening. but Kenney's account handlers didn't block me for my emotive outburst when Philadelphia's mayor by auto-renewal began pontificating to Trump about personal liberty and diversity. What liberty? I forget, honestly, for it was some time ago, whether this was a direct rebuttal to my plaint, or a general admonishment, but a Tweeter once said that we all have the right to refuse medical services. This is true. I can end Medicaid today and then take the time to figure out what to do with my significantly weakened lower extremities in thirty mile an hour winds (winds which have eased a dangerous battle with acid reflux; I was in serious jeopardy last week on that Medicare single size foam mattress) and then try to run. And this has been the predominant need underlying my inability to get the legal system to correct for the abuses I have suffered under Presbyterian Homes since they inducted me as tenant to abuse for life. Get out. This is exactly what Huston solicits out of Calhern as Emmerich in Asphalt Jungle, still a taut film which opened up a multitudinous complexity when dealing with the American underbelly, even drawing in the cripple as facilitator via James Whitmore as Gus. The character's scoliosis is not pronounced, but is nonetheless referenced by the safecracker's wife as her husband lies dying due to accidental gunshot, and this was the sewage of 1950, the tail end of a rather elongated liberal reign, twilight presided over by Truman. Today Venezuelans flock to Columbia, which is cause for concern given the recent truce with the cartels. Rubio's tweet of Qadaffi isn't "revolting" as it pertains to the actual fact of the Obama's facilitation of rebels who turned Libya into ungovernable territory. It actually gives Maduro supporters legs to stand on, pivoting against the power the US can apply. The American Scholar who has a contributing column about Chavez and his fortunes tied to oil never envisioned this. She was a sophisticated contributor, but style is not a policy application against an economics of smash and grab in conjunction with poor health outcomes for indigenous strongmen. I myself remain somewhat hawkish for the greater good. We shouldn't want South America falling apart at the seams, igniting something worse in the continuing spread of symptoms toward lower living standards. It is also noted that Bolivar became dictator of Peru, liberating the natives into the Shining Path, and those preoccupied leftist writers for a very long time. Bon Voyage.

The Constructs of Stupidity

Reinstating a question about citizenship in the 2020 Census is a small but salubrious step. And it would also help weaken the grip of identity politics, a destructive force that is now racializing all of society.-- as the law tweaks

Before I go off gallivanting on another news item more pertinent to my interests, it is due to the beatitudes of a plow horse losing itself to daytime program viewing that I caught the horrific video footage of uniformed officers gunning their way into this Port Richmond residence to try to save the baby, as tersely summarized by Michael Tanenbaum. His piece cannot match the horror of the live footage at the scene, and apparently, this is what Jim Kenney's victory against the administration as a sanctuary city amounts to, human animals too stupid to breed lying a baby on a carpet without first crating the dogs, which are known to be aggressive and tenacious when they maul. Regardless of what the ongoing investigation uncovers, the woman should be sterilized and charged with negligent homicide. The Heritage Foundation's study on "Hispanic" intelligence may have vanished after Jim DeMint left the Senate to take up the reins, but the evidence to contravene the controversy it ignited seems scant.

April Fools

"No, with a prince."-- Catherine Devenuve, full bloom

I have been awake since about seven thirty Thursday evening, simply waiting for physiology to realign, and I am going to have to drive the Jazzy under the shower head fairly soon. It is risky, given that I have been lumbering in poor generic power chair technology with a short in its electric system for nearly three years, trying to upgrade, but it is less risky than a park near hot steam while I risk the old bathing chair, even though I should do things properly. My latest bad judgment was leaving Hahnemann for the ambulatory practice, in 14. I still have no new chair, and if I had the money, I'd skip the red tape and buy my own, but I'd be difficult about the fit, to get it right. But what are municipal progressives worried about? Not its marginalized underclass, but linking the commemoration of the Rizzo family to Charlottesville, because the city of brotherly love is a proverbial backwater, always has been, and I am wasting my data to burst out into tears. Frank and Joseph Rizzo have nothing to do with Bannon and Breitbart, and Trump's roiling rise, and Jim Kenney is old enough to know better. The Rizzos have a direct link to my family, and I don't have enough bullets through the heart. Now this. All evening, not to work, just to fight extraordinary dislocation pain, fight mild vertigo, indigestion, and take another bullet to the heart:

I cannot go on with 50 tweets but you are a local patrician; help me; not right to do to family!

The outcry here to our prominent local anchor is very real. I know Joe Rizzo's daughter. I stood on Broad Street for Frank's funeral procession, and my father received a commendation for rescuing the late mayor in an emergency fire, and I am going to find and buy that article. I am not going to let this legacy be cheaply besmirched without a fight, so help me God. And Jim Gardner knows this too. He knows what utter folly this is, the preening local celebrity insider who occasionally flaunts his access to the local political scene. He is a show horse, whether or not also a phony, but his living memory parallels mine, and a well placed word from him about this utter nonsense would carry weight, not that he would do it for the sake of my distress. The extreme right may not want the burden I represent, but if the left isn't careful, I may become the most unique aberration yet. I disliked Michael Nutter, but at least he was a defined scold. Kenney is the most ineffectual executive this city has had since Wilson Goode.

A declaration of war.
