Yawning: what Dallasites do whenever you mention 11/22/63

As a Dallasite it's in my duty to let out a collective yawn over JFK. By now every nook and cranny over the assassination has been beaten to death (pardon the pun). For those with a short memory, George H.W. Bush signed the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act on 10/26/92. This put in effect the motion that the last remaining classified documents be released by 10/26/17. In a 'Wag the Dog' moment, the current illegitimate Neanderthal-in-chief has decided to arouse conspiracy theorists. See kiddies, when you're a thrice-married sleazebag that consistently mocks the disabled, woman, minorities and everything in between, you go back in time to deflect from the horrifying excuse of your Presidency.

There is a caveat, some records will remain sealed for another 180 days, citing national security concerns. What's the bet they come out when NY's finest maniac is caught sending out tweets (full of grammatical errors) whilst working, which in his world equates to watching TV, because running a nation requires less work ethic than what's needed for an entry-level job.

Grassy Knoll, 5/27/17

Post assassination all governments have been legally required to release any classified documents pertaining to the crime scene, so this new batch doesn't answer any lingering questions about shots being fired, it's more of a baffling string of long winded documents shedding more light on the players involved. Not surprisingly, the innuendo over RFK-Marilyn Monroe gets more airtime, only this time it finally gets squashed, which will no doubt send hair salons into a frenzy! The highlight is a feisty Nikita Khrushchev scolding Dallas police for being incompetent and for the American right harboring dark views on JFK. Little did he know that the modern-day version of these loony rednecks are in awe of Mother Russia. Lee Harvey Oswald's love of Russia was a indeed a prelude, one of the documents even mentions his atrocious attempt at speaking Russian at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City.

(Note: If you want to waste your life decoding all the juicy gossip, by all means visit the National Archives. I don't post links, as I want my readers to lose calories by using their fingers to search the word wide web. Better still, visit the actual offices at 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD). 

However, just the announcement by that disgusting specimen is enough to get people who don't reside in Dallas to lose sleep over our fair city. Dear world: if you're going to worry about a head being blown off, could you please relocate here and spend your living days on the Grassy Knoll.

Speaking of disgusting specimens, that thing with the tangerine complexion on the outside and satanic soul inside wasted taxpayers money by holding a fundraiser at the Belo Mansion (a grand historic home that I will never again set foot inside, due to it aiding and abetting a white collar gangster). All in secret by the way, cause a President of the people is all about cloak and daggers, only able to mingle with those willing to pay up to $100,000 to be seen with Mussolini 2.0.

Elm St X, 5/27/17

At a local level, JFK's assassination site pulls in the tourists, always ranks at the top of the to-do lists. Obviously these folk aren't art lovers, cause we all know which city has the nations largest urban arts district (if you answered NYC then you haven't been reading my blog, it's Dallas). I'm sure there's some conspiracy theorists out there who believe the assassination was a plot by tourist officials to pump money into the local economy. As one who has lived in Big D for 817 days (counting days is a passion of mine), I can say that no local would willingly stand on the Grassy Knoll and take a photo with the X marking the deadly spot, unless they are accompanied by a non-Dallasite or it so happens to be JFK's 100th birthday (refer to yours truly partaking in some morbid contemplation).

Austria's new Chancellor is a bona fide Millennial

In Sunday's parliamentary election, The Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) led by Sebastian Kurz won the mandate to form a coalition. It had a strong showing (considering 5 main parties contested) by attaining the most seats, 62 (out of a possible 183), gain of 15 from the 2013 election. The voting share was 31.5%, an increase of 7.5%. Two things stick out from this result: one a positive, the other a potential negative.

On the positive side, the youth movement of Europe is once again putting the rest of the democratic world to shame. If you thought Emmanuel Macron of France (DOB. 12/21/77) and Leo Varadkar (DOB. 1/18/79) of Ireland were Millennials of the political world, think again, Kurz is an actual Millennial, celebrated his 31st birthday on August 27. To put things into context, Lindsay Lohan turned 31 in July (threw this example in to show-off my B-grade celebrity credentials) and Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released on June 11, 1986.

Conversely on the negative side, The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) consolidated its power (added 11 seats to 51 and increased its national vote by 5.5% since 2013), now its nipping at the buds of being one of the two-major parties. Those not familiar with FPÖ, let's just say they would make Republicans in the U.S. salivate. I can just see rednecks taking an interest in them, even though they have no idea how the world works.

In a surprise move, even the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) are willing to entertain the possibility of an FPÖ alliance, such is the bizarre times we live in. Incidentally, SPÖ mirrored their performance from 2013 - 52 seats and 26.9% of national vote.

ÖVP is a conservative party, more so economically than socially like is common in Western Europe. In order top form a majority Kurz is most likely to do a deal with devil, FPÖ. He got on the anti-immigration bandwagon to ensure he gets backing from a xenophobic party. Even though Austria isn't a superpower of Europe its connections to Germany will make this deal big news that will bring back memories of a dark past. 'Heil Hitler!' is still a common phrase heard around FPÖ gatherings.

Note: Before any bigots rant, well how come we're so hard on racists in America when they are breeding politically in Europe, the simple answer is: U.S. big notes itself on a global stage as a beacon of inclusiveness and liberty, (and that little detail of immigration being its backbone). Calm down redneck America, you do realize Native Americans were the first people of you nation, each and everyone one of you are immigrants. Now, now, don't fire your assault weapons at me.

The irony in all this, nations who denounce illiberal countries such as Russia are actually using Putinesqe tactics to win elections. Let's wheel out the xenophobic card anytime we want to whip the electorate into a frenzy, then in the same breath denounce Putin's Russia. You either own being a liberal open nation or you start tearing away its fabric and ended up as an insular ethno-nationalist.
society.

Austria has a smaller population than New Jersey, but what happened there today will have ramifications throughout the Western World. By all means, let's celebrate the youngest leader of a civilized democracy, but don't forget how he achieved it, by pandering to racism (disguised as jingoism).

From this day forth, I shall refer to Kurz as Führer Donnie's Millennial love child. Or to paraphrase the Czech Foreign Minister, Austria is going through 'Orbanization' (referring to Hungary's illiberal leader). Godspeed Republik Österreich, whenever I feel down about your pristine nation, I will remember the good times I had in Salzburg and Vienna.

Memo to Amendment II groupies: Satan will fast-track your entry into the pits of hell!

In light of yet another senseless act of domestic terrorism (at the hands of a gun obsessed American citizen), sadly, discussing the worst mass shooting in U.S. history is becoming an annual event. If only we acted to eradicate these "angelic weapons" after the massacre on August 1, 1966, let alone what took place on September 10, 2017. Let me refresh your memories...

Charles Whitman was a devout Christian, attended church regularly and was even an alter boy. One day he decided to stand atop the University of Texas and snipe away at students. Back then, there was no social media to whip people into a frenzy, so Americans simply shrugged their shoulders and mutters: land of the free beneath their breath and moved on. Now we get aroused over slaughter, like it's some kind of sport and do absolutely nothing about it. As for the taxpayer-funded politicians (many of them government-hating Republicans, though that doesn't stop them for working in government - pure comedy) that represent us, they sit back and sip expensive wine in their lavish offices, whilst telling their staffers: see, Americans are sheep, they have their guns and we need not do anything.

Did I tell you the story about Spencer Hight? An introverted man (with no criminal background) that gunned down 8 party-goers in America's safest city (Dallas suburb of Plano). Well, it's a true story, it happened 25 days ago. Surprise, surprise not one word from the President or Texas Governor - why? The culprit wasn't an undocumented Black Muslim, just a regular pasty white citizen.

Anyone that knows me personally, understands how much I despise killing machines. I'm referring to those pristine objects, that has given the U.S. the dubious honor of being a gold medalist (among advanced nations) in gun-related homicides per capita. (In case you're wondering, they also lead in other murder categories, but guns are by far the biggest evil). I get it, Americans don't want to let any other country replace them at top of the murder pole.

On 1/15/16 I vented about 'Lethal weapon lunacy' urging Obama to take the NRA (America's leading instigator of terror) to the cleaners. Well, I'm not holding my breath for the 45th President (himself a deranged sociopath) to act, after all, he made it easier for the mentally ill to acquire guns. Illiterate Donnie goes on tweeter tirades over terror attacks in other countries, but can't use those same words to spell-out 'domestic terrorism' in his own backyard. The kind that equates to some 30,000 victims a year, way more than any foreigner without a passport causes on U.S. soil.

I don't care that racist men with fake wigs told us we can create our own militia to protect ourselves. No place was it written you need military grade weapons with one sole purpose: to annihilate fellow human beings. I will gladly disassociate myself from any family or friends who support the second amendment. I've stared down rednecks holding machine guns, so I'll never take a step back, not even at a gun show, I'll gladly attend one just to set the record straight!

Presidents are great at taking the country to war and huffing and puffing over outside impostors, whether it be illegals or radical Islam, but forget that old chestnut: the greatest enemy always come from withing. There's a list as long as the Mississippi of american citizens causing havoc. ,any of them are fair-skinned Caucasian citizens, shocking I know, only brown folk with strange names are meant to commit atrocities. There's only one solution: build a massive wall and protect our borders with lethal force, that'll keep out unhinged gun-toting citizens. In all seriousness, things will only change when taxpayer funded representatives lose their loves ones to a hail of bullets. That will rarely happen due to taxpayers footing their security bills.

There's only one more certainty than gun nutters ramming down their medieval opinions down our throats, that there will always be another mass shooting that tops whichever one we're meant to do something about. We have no qualms following regulations for fire codes, car safety (why do "freedom lovers" in this country even allow police to pull them over for DUI or for not wearing seat belts, talk about encroaching on personal space), but dare halting the sale of AR-15's and you're Un-American. Karma might just bite all those who support the Second Amendment, when it does, go ahead and eulogize why losing your parent, sibling, child at the hands of a homegrown terrorist was a beautiful way to die.

So long as Presidents keep defaming the nation, we the people will dissent!

Every free people shall be able to denounce any patriotic symbol of their choosing. If we're waiting for athletes to be the ones to stand up for liberty, than we're going nowhere fast! You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know what evil has been dished out by taxpayer-funded officials in the name of a song and a piece of cloth.

In America's case, it's simple. Just looking back from 1981, Presidents of this country have used and abused the jingoism of American ideals to basically rape and pillage  - I'm being nice when I use these terms. Don't even get me started about when President evoke God. No so-called almighty being is for guns, greed or war. It so happens that leaders think they can waste taxpayers' money on military hardware and refuse services to the underprivileged, that's what Jesus would want - let me just roll my eyes for a moment.

Reagan (phony passive aggressive simpleton): backed the Contras and the Mujahideen - so very democratic and liberal of him. Oh, and that little thing where he told the Mississippi Governor to keep-on segregating.

G. H. Bush (robotic war criminal): Gulf War, his way of saying that oil trumps human life. Having served as VP to Reagan taught him all about the Military Industrial Complex and all the "compassion" that came with it. Oh, and don't forget his backing of Panamanian terror groups.

Clinton (the original sleaze): Let's bomb Belgrade, cause we're Americans baby! Sat back and played the saxophone while Rwanda self-com-busted. Cozying up to Hollywood donors is of greater importance.

G. W. Bush (hillbilly war criminal): the family man with Christian values, which led him to create two fake wars. End result: gave him what he richly craved, massacre of innocents (500,000 Iraqi's just to name a few), heck, even throw in 4000 dead U.S. soldiers into the mix. The Bush family are big fans of Saudi royalty (something sexy about those head-choppers apparently), no wonder they had a hard time smoking out Saudi citizen Bin Laden. He's also a closeted racist (bless his heart). Instead of playing race games, he chose a subtle way of showing it, three words: Hurricane Katrina response.

Obama (way too conservative to be considered progressive): I'm so open-minded that I visited Saudi Arabia 4 times. Shout-out to former Presidents: thanks for inspiring me to kiss the hand of the Wahhabi King

Führer 45 (sociopath bigoted maniac of the highest quality): When not grabbing them by the pussy whilst singing the anthem, he's hell-bent on hating on the disabled and inciting race riots. Also, a true patriot that sacrificed con artistry and sleaziness to fight for the flag - not! From sleeping around with half of NY socialites to savaging minorities, no wonder Evangelicals love this true moral champion - cough, cough...

Whether you want to turn your back, raise a fist, squat, kneel or boo, it's your right in any democracy. Now, if you're more of a DPRK fan, then Pyongyang is awaiting your arrival. There, the Supreme Leader will not allow any dissent against the anthem/flag, it's called a despotic dictatorship.
