Three questions to ponder

There are many countries that make up planet earth, so before we get into a little questionnaire that will decide your standing among the great unwashed, let's all raise a glass to Moldova. The incumbent, Maia Sandu was reelected by simply standing firm on a pro-EU anti corruption platform, simply put She beat Putin. Vlad has a great run influencing Americans from making them believe a strong man that promotes bigotry and homophobia is an actual viable option in the land of liberty, work that one out! Little old Moldova put the Russian sociopath to shame. See Americans, you're having a hard time electing a female head of state that speaks only English, Sandu is fluent in four languages.

Now, to the moment you've all been waiting for...

1. Are you okay with adultery? Meaning would you partake in it and or support someone who did, even a candidate running for higher office?

If you answer yes, then please take a bow and share this information on social media, own it. Why be afraid, last I checked even Christians are on board, look at the excitement among evangelicals in the US, they worship a married man that sexually assaults woman and penetrates porn stars, hope that language isn't too foul, being Christian and all. 

2. Is bashing immigrants, whether it is physically or verbally a good thing? Keep in mind, most earthlings have a migrant origin story, so in fact you're bashing yourself, don't believe all the hype about being a superior race.

If you answer yes, then please take a DNA test. Please be strong enough to post the results, so everyone can know how many ethnicities make up your ancestry. This might make you think twice before hurling abuse at someone doing a job that you clearly are too lazy to do yourself.

3. Do you believe health is a right or a privilege and that everyone has a right over their own body? (Okay conjoined twins community, you're not included). You would think yes would be an easy answer, but need I remind you that men exist, and you know how they can't help controlling women, so there goes humanity.

If what you want out of life is supporting causes that you believe to be true, then go ahead, but please leave hypocrisy at the door. Don't tell people your some church goes then go into a voting booth and vote for a racist adulterer, that's not kosher. Be loud and proud, tell everyone that being a good Christian is doing everything that Jesus would despise, let that one sink into your brain for a bit.

There are many nations right now that are scapegoating anything and everything to push an agenda. Of course the nation yelling in English gets all the attention, for some reason this unsexy language pulls in the masses. If you scream the loudest you will win, facts and critical thinking not required. I want the loudest screamers to fly planes and perform surgery, they seem to know so much. Fake news that they aren't qualified to save lives. Imagine raising a child and telling them it's okay to cheat and scapegoat, and then wanting them to end up with someone like that as their life partner. You know you don't want that yet you'll vote for that to serve your ego, my man won, in your face, who cares if he dabbles in rape and race games. 

May sanity prevail, if Moldova can do it, then a nation of apple pie and mass shootings can do it. (I'm allowed to say this, I have residency in the land of bullet connoisseurs).

Perspective, people!

After a 3/4 of a year blogging hiatus, blame raising a humanoid, yes, men do all child-rearing (least we can do, as, yet we're not able to carry a fetus, okay, anti-woke crowd, calm down and breathe with a pic of your "messiah" accepting a medal from a nation that believes in your death penalty/transphobic ideals), it's time to tell-it-how-it-is!

Let's all dial back the American obsession, here's my final word on events that sadly took away from just how disgusting false prophets that peddle mistruths and enjoy the dark arts of race games. Even Ivy League educated  pro gun thrice-married xenophobic adulterer (of the felon variety) should be safe from bullets. After this incident the aforementioned creature became a proponent of repealing the 2nd Amendment. Hang on a sec, let me look out my window, pigs have started to fly after the last line. Even pigs know that when one espouses love for guns and openly promotes getting support even if he were to be shot in the middle Manhattan, you get my drift... The "messiah" got what he wanted, plenty of sympathy from an act he craved.

Now onto more pressing concerns. I see the boycott of Paris 2024 has gone nowhere fast. Hey English-speaking world, do you realise what just happened in France? Refresher course: the outwardly racist far-right National Rally now occupy 142 seats (24.6%) of the French Assembly. I see 'Planet America' is a program featuring on Australia's taxpayer funded public broadcaster, but there is no show titled: Planet France. I use Australia as an example, no country comes close to its American addiction. Go to any clothing store like H&M, Cotton On and there are shirts, jumpers plastered with American city and state names, heck, even those tacky letterman jackets. Add all the American content that donates it terrestrial TV, social media and is it wonder that more Australians know the names of US Vice Presidents than Prime Ministers of their own country.

Let's ignore the US for a little while and pay more attention to what's happening globally, then maybe we can start to realise that it's not all about one country. On 6 September 2018, the then President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro lost 40% of his blood in a failed assassination attempt (he to was a loony tune that had a God complex), yet the Western World was not all that interested. Dam, if only Brazilian content infiltrated screens in the First World. Next time someone gets hot and bothered over all things US of A, calm them down with other examples. It's not sexy, but the Bolsonaro assassination attempt was way more murdery than what happened to, you know, that tangerine felon.

There is one positive that may come from the XXXIII Olympic Games, we can use it as an excuse to learn about other nations, instead of jingoistic exercise in blind racism. Find more about the world you live in, and I don't mean just a Google search. (I get it, your lives depend on this American search engine, not to mention all the other great American creations that add to your life expectancy, namely Facebook that owns Instagram, WhatsApp. Wherever you turn America has your digital footprint for safekeeping, sleep well). You never know, one day there will be an article about the Sudanese obsession. Oh dear, pigs started to fly again!

In Polska, we trust!

Back in the Southern Hemisphere, where Americans couldn't locate without the use of a search engine on a made in Asia plastic device. Melbourne (the one in the state of Victoria, 🇦🇺, not Florida) will be the HQ for GE for the foreseeable future. Or as the livability crowd to refer to as: the world's third most livable city. No American city cracked the top 60, you can blame firearms and healthcare not being a right for this woeful outcome.

The world is going  nowhere fast, which is basically what it does on a yearly basis. Earthlings have short memories, so we get hot and bothered over events we can't control, rinse and repeat until such time we see ducks cross the toad and get all war and fuzzy about life.

Talking about repeating, I'm not going to rehash 1939 values in this part of the world. A little thing called a referendum (that not one soul in the US would lose sleep over) sadly backed this vlog from 2020.https://globaleditorial.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-great-racist-land.html

181-second rant (for those that can allocate such time, just remember how many daily bathroom breaks you take) from magnificent Williamstown, Melbourne

My daughter and I get to walk along Gem Pier every day and ponder the end of times, she has picked the right time to be alive!

A trip down blog lane

What better to mark eight years than by taking a trip down blog lane. In other words, it has been an eternity in a Presidential context. Global Editorial (GE) begun under the Obama (aka the earthling that loved drone strikes on civilians) administration, survived Donnie the snake oil salesman (somehow convinced evangelicals to buy into everything Jesus would be against, adultery and hatred of immigrants) dictatorship and is now still going under 'Sleepy' Joe (a man that once promoted incarceration and has no interest in healthcare as a right). 

Here's a list of one Op-ed from each year that encapsulates the GE DNA. Blame the company that stalks our every move (Alphabet Inc.) for monitoring articles that garnered the most fan engagement.

It has been an off on a tangent ride for the ages. Who knew GE would originate in Dallas, TX and end up in Chicago, IL. Along with European detours in Budapest, Bratislava, Helsinki, Tallinn, and Oceania stops in Melbourne, Sydney.

The next incarnation of GE will be south of the equator, be prepared for commentary from a snowless city. I will miss the frozen winters on Lake Michigan, not so much the homicides - too soon!

All is good in America's slaughterhouse

This is what we refer to in the business as a catch-up on lost time vlog. Get ready for a vlog of mass proportions, two parts of pure unadulterated ranting - unscripted off-the-cuff madness! (Please take note, overrated media personalities relying on a team of writers earning 8-figure salaries). 

If you fast-forward, you will be dismembered and thrown into Lake Michigan by Billy Bob Thornton. All kidding aside, just getting revved up for the upcoming season of Fargo. Talking about the short attention span of society, I'll include estimates for the time each rant goes off the rails. 

All rants require a controversial intro!

Part I (4:02)

21st century cavemen (0:20); crime central (1:50); "those people" (3:10)

Part II (4:55)

Shout-out, you know who you are! (0:30); modern-day segregation (0:55); raising one great earthling (2:30); geopolitical tidbit (3:50)

PS. Don't be fooled by the summertime, Chicago is at its finest during winter. Flashback: Jan 28, 2023. (Tabitha, the wonderkid mastered snow walking as a one-year-old).

Footnote: Classic GE timing, shortly after releasing the twelve best stand-alone TV episodes (https://globaleditorial.blogspot.com/2023/06/greg-egg.html), comes along a piece of drama (filmed right here in the Windy City) that might just wiggle its way to the top of the table. I give you 'Forks' - Season 2, Episode 7. The Bear (2022-).
