The left head is the Demopublican, and the right head is the Republicrat. Their conversations just outside the U.S. Congress go like this:

 

L head: "So, whatcha wanta do?"
R head: "I don't know, whatcha wanta do?"
L head: "Everytime I ask you whatcha wanta do, you say, I don't know, whatcha wanta do? So whatcha wanta do?"
R head: "Let's flip for it. Heads I win, tails you lose."
L Head: "Wait, that's a rigged bet. We have two heads and only one tail so that makes it two against one. If heads or tails wins, I win 50/50, OK?"
R head: "That might be OK, but I will have to go back in and consult with my part of our joint body before I can agree."
L head: "We both have one tail, so why not just let it wag us both and not worry about the toss, uh . . . torso."
R head: "Shhhhh, don't say things like that. You are giving me a headache. I am just going back in and watch TV while you decide what you want. Besides, the Ninja Trumpery Turtle will be coming on soon. Bye."
L head: "Pssssh, what a dunce I have for twin head to deal with. He's no fun, guess I'll just stay here and think of something even better for us to do. But . . .  then I will have to drag him along with me. Besides if we flipped for it and ended up on our backside, we would not be going nowhere fast as usual. Pssssh! What an idiot!"

Well, "That's all folks!"

ENOUGH ALREADY!

This is art? Yeah, right, anything you say, idiots!

Disgusting beyond words!

The painting shown below was just sold for a record 110.5 M USD in NYC. This more than adequately shows the degradation and depravity that the NYC art scammers have brought the world of art down to. It is intentional. They want to destroy art and all that is beautiful along with it, while at the same time promoting a black artist as though he were even good enough to paint graffiti on the subway walls there. America, wherefore art thou?

Here's the story from the BBC:

A painting by the late artist Jean-Michel Basquiat has sold at auction in New York for $110.5m (£85.4m).

That is nearly double the price of his previous most expensive work, bought by the same person a year ago.
It has broken several other records including becoming the most expensive work by any US artist.
It is also the highest price fetched for any art by a black artist and the first piece created since 1980 to break the $100m mark.
The untitled work was done in oil stick, acrylic and spray paint, and depicts a face in the shape of a skull.
It was sold to Yusaku Maezawa, a 41-year-old Japanese fashion entrepreneur who plans to set up a museum in his home town of Chiba.
Bidding for the piece during the auction at Sotheby's lasted 10 tense minutes. Cheers and applause erupted in the room when the work was sold to Mr Maezawa by telephone.
He later posted on Instagram that the painting made him feel "so much excitement and gratitude for my love of art", a feeling he wished to share with "as many people as possible".
Mr Maezawa last year set the previous record for a Basquiat piece, when he paid $57.3m for a painting of a horned devil.

Basquiat, a native New Yorker, died in 1988 of a heroin overdose aged 27. He had been an artist for just seven years.
Most of his works depict the problems faced by African Americans in the US, reports the BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington.
Once a graffiti rebel from Brooklyn who sold drawings for $50, he is now in the same league as Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon, she says - part of a rare group of artists whose work has sold for more than $100m at auction.
"Breaking $100m for a work which is that recent is definitely extraordinary," said Gregoire Billault, head of contemporary art at Sotheby's.
"I think it just speaks about the talent of this guy. It's just pure emotion. He's bringing something never seen before."

And I sure hope it is never seen again. But that is not all.
Picasso's rubbish is still being touted as art also.

Picasso portrait sells for $45m 

Now for the revelation of the disgusting thing they have promoted as art!

There is nothing lower that they won't sink to in their effort to destroy civilization!

Martian Interviews by The Unknown Author

 
These interviews with confirmed Martians took place in various countries over a period of some years. They show a consistent attitude Martians have toward Earth and Earthlings. In England, for example, when asked why Martians come to Earth, it/he/she (don't know if they have gender just as some Earthlings don't know themselves as having) said:

"Bloody Hell, Mars is Bloody Hell! Everything is red. We don't have any sense of color, everyone is the same. We have to come here to develop color adaptation and to know the difference between various Earthlings. The only red ones you have here are not in England, so I have not studied them, but I don't need to. I have had enough of red. Then there is the thing called 'Red Bull.' Hey, mate, everything on Mars is red bull, and nothing there resembles grogg or English tea except our urine. 

"Which brings me to the subject of Uranus. Those Urinations are a pest, lying, cheating, stealing everything they can get their claws on. Then they try to sell it back to you at interest. We don't allow Urinations on Mars, but we see you have had a lot of dual Earthling-Urination citizens come here to England and take positions of power in English palaces and halls. So, you see, we are concerned now about the future for us in England. We think the Urinations are trying to replace us here. They know a good thing when we have it, and they always try to take it away on the sly. That's why we have come here in great numbers now, just to protect our planetary interest from the Urinations."

Now, that was a very explicit explanation for Martians liking to come to Earth and in particular to England. But what about those who come to colder places, such as Sweden?
This one Martian interviewed in Stockholm had all of the typical Swedish customs and appearances down pat. He was cheerful and considered that Sweden was really the best place on Earth. For that reason, he did not criticize his choice of Sweden, only his lack of fur.

"I am a quadruple Earth/Sweden/Stockholm/Mars citizen, and proud of it. I have been in Sweden making meatballs and playing football with the best of them. I could take the part of the Swedish Chef on the Muppets Show, and I would do it better than that puppet. Martians don't need asylym, we need a good sauna to keep us warm. We are used to being in a red zone, and Sweden is a whitish one that used to be more white but now has gotten a little bit tinted. It's OK by me, as we don't see so many Urinations here yet, but we are on guard for their invasion."

India was more to the Martian's liking as they are used to hot weather. But they have not gotten used to the cuisine in India yet even when having been there for years.

In a Delhi deli we found a Martian named Swammy, a name he took from the Indian word "Swamy," used primarily as a Hindu honorific title for a male deity. It is derived from Sanskrit and means "He who knows and is the master of himself", "owner of oneself", or "free from the sins."

The interviewer said: "So, Swammy, how do you like the Earth and India in particular?" That is how the interview of this Martian began and ended in India. "Oh, yesss," he said and then walked away.

Following him, we decided to go with him to the Raj Palace Indian Cuisine at 37116 Six Mile Road in Livonia, MI 48152 . . . after which he said, "Oh I see, you Earthlings don't know how to get there from India, well we, Martians, do, so come on my flying carpet, if that's what you think it is." 

Being Martian has its benefits even in India, but the interview was over as soon as we entered the Raj Palace. This Martian considered it adequate to have his interview based upon his choice of foods from the buffet. So, that ended our interview, and we had to find our way back to India on our own while the Martian, reeking of curry, slept off his huge meal. But it demonstrated that even Martians like Earth food as long as it is not Indian in India.

The Martian who really exposed it all was the owner of Hollyweed Acting Agency, not located in Hollywood by his own choice. He really told us a lot.

Interviewer: 

"Why did you name your agency 'Hollyweed' instead of 'Hollywood'?"

Martian:

"That was simply to keep from being associated with the the invaders from Uranus, our enemies, well-known as Urinations, that run Hollywood. We know what they are doing and we are determined to change the image they have created of us, Martians. That is why we have an agency to help get actors play good roles for Martians.

"The Urinations have made many films denigrating us and portraying us as violent invaders. Films such as 'Flash Gordon: Mars Attacks The World' to exploit the fear surrounding Orson Welles' (in)famous radio broadcast 'War Of The Worlds,' you probably remember the long-legged war machines that allowed H.G. Wells’ Martians to wreak havoc around sunny California . . . Martians who have been magically transformed into 'Clay Men' by the ever-so-evil Azura, Queen of Mars, who’s working with Ming the Merciless to destroy the earth. . . .

"For those of you who haven’t watched this movie – and if so, lucky you – this is a film so shockingly shit that it almost transcends its shitness and enters the ethereal plane of so-shit-it’s-really-really-good. Alas, Santa Claus Conquers The Martians is so good at being shit that it falls out the back end of the so-shit-it’s-really-really-good category and becomes really, really shit again.

"And in the somewhat forgotten series of 'Beach Party' movies that infested 1960s’ cinemas, Pajama Party is unique that it contains a Martian called Gogo in it. . . . Gogo himself, as is often the case in these situations, is sent to Earth in an usher's uniform to prepare for an impending invasion from Mars. There he meets an eccentric old lady, gets dressed up in silly clothes, and takes part in a big fight at the end. That’s pretty much the whole movie, to be honest. . . .

"Following in the footsteps of the Invaders from Mars-style extra-terrestrial troublemakers, Burton’s Martians might say they come in peace, but in reality they’re dove-shooting mayhem-bringers who think with their ray guns rather than their excessively large brains.

"But you can get all this information and more at http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/brief-history-martians-movies/, a really good site exposing the horrendous abuse we Martians have suffered because of the Hollywood Urinations.

"Now let's get real. Would you invade and try to destroy a paradise that has beaches and mountain streams with lovely valleys? We, Martians, come to Earth for a chance to have a life out of the red desert that is Mars. We get to come here if we are awarded a vacation trip or if we have retired from the Martian Military with honor and valor. We come here to enjoy the place, not to destroy it as you seem to be doing quite well yourselves. Get a life, we want it to be as it was and will be if the Urinations are stopped from destroying it all and making us out to be the violent invaders that they really are."

"Anything else you want to know?"

Interviewer:

"No, I think you have covered the subject very well, and we hope you are successful in getting the image that Martians have on Earth changed to a more accurate one. We know about the problems you mention, as we have seen some aliens in NYC who are a lot like those you talk about in Hollywood. In fact, they own the studios from there. So, thank you for the warning and alerting us to the cause of our greatest problems. Now I think it is time for an all American meal of hot dogs, not from NY, and fries, not from France."

Well, that tells you more than you thought you wanted to know about Martians, so have a good time and remember to keep those beaches and mountain streams pristine for more Martians to visit.

Statute of Trumpery

So, then, what is a statute? 

According to the 'Lectric Law Library's Lexicon (found at http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/s071.htm)this is what a statute is supposed to be:

• A law established by an act of the legislature.
• Under the U.S. and state constitutions, statutes are considered the primary source of law in the U.S. -- that is, legislatures make the law (statutes) and courts interpret the law (cases). 
• The written will of the legislature, solemnly expressed according to the forms prescribed in the Constitution; an act of the legislature.  

But today we have a new proposal to consider. It is the "Statute of Trumpery," designed to replace the "Statue of Liberty." It doesn't have anything to do with the US Constitution or the acts of the US Congress, just as the statute shown below indicates.

Essay on the "Stanley Hypothesis"

On April 28, 2017, +John Stanley postulated on Google+:

"Mathematics is not a substitute for observable, measurable

and repeatable scientific experimentation."


This is an excellent hypothesis to test without the use of

mathematics, so it shall be done. It is called

hereinafter the "Stanley Hypothesis."

In this essay we may go into semantics, etymology,

grammar, theories, and measurements. It has no intention of

staying on the subject being examined, so one must be

willing to suspend attention to that subject and then

return to it once the distraction is complete. It goes back

into ancient history, or at least what is said to be that,

to show the fallibility of ideas that came hence from

thence. (a little poetic alliteration is permitted)

For an example of the latter, the story of Descarte having

announced that he thinks, therefore, he is, is not an

accurate one. It was really a drunk Frenchman in a winery,

who went by the name nickname "Des Cartes" due to his

always losing at cards and proclaiming that it was the

fault of "des cards" (that is French for "the cards.") One

day this drunk French card player was so out of it that

those in the winery started to worry. They asked him (but

in French), "Are you alright?" He lifted his besotted head

and said, "I think I am, so I am." That was translated and

abbreviated across time into the brilliant philosophical

axiom "I think, therefore I am." So, it is plain to see

that not all highly acclaimed proclamations of now famous

drunks are necessarily accurate.

This brings us to the meaning of the word "accurate." There

is another word that is often confused with it, and that is

"precise." Accuracy and precision are related as cousins,

but not the same girls. The former has to do with being

careful when making decisions, such as in measuring things,

and the latter is the amount of care that is taken, such as

when using inches, millimeters, decimeters, meters, miles,

feet, yards, and even light years. Being precise in making

distance measurements to the nearest light year is not very

close to being usefully accurate when measuring a room for

a carpet, but too precise if using the closest millimeter

for that purpose. That subject will be discussed further

herein a bit further on.

That last sentence ended in a preposition, which is not

permitted when using proper grammatical posturing. It was

not overlooked by this essayist, however, that "later on"

is as soon as "further on" is distant. The adage that once

in a while occurs only once means that a while can be as

long as your "later on" allows before it does. As is

"observable" (one of the Stanley Hypothesis criteria),

these sentences do not end in prepositions, even though

they use "on" several times in them. This proves the value

of prepositions used anywhere and anytime.

Now let's examine the idea of a light year. That is claimed

to be the distance that light travels in one year, so it is

a measurement of distance and not of time. It has been

observed, measured, and repeatedly shown that when

approaching the temperature of what is called "Absolute

Zero," everything slows down and will stop if it ever gets

there. In short, time stops, and nothing can move. The

opposite of this observed and measured and repeated

scientific experimental fact is if the temperature goes up,

light accelerates with it. That is why when an explosion of

some kind happens, there is a high speed flash of light.

The temperature at the center of the explosion is quickly

fired out into the cooler surrounding air, and that is what

makes the sound so loud. As the progression of time at the

center has to slow back down to that of the air, it makes a

big bang that can surely be heard in the sound waves

produced.

If it were not for this observable, measurable, and

repeatable result, a jet engine would not work. It is the

difference in temperature between the gases being burned

and their surroundings outside the engine that make the

energy to propel the aircraft. So really, speaking

accurately about this, time is what makes it move. Time in

the center of the engine's combustion chambers is moving

faster than in the surroundings, and it has to slow down

back to the speed that it progresses at the outside. This

it does very forcefully.

A light year is stated to be a measurable distance, but

how is that possible when the light is traveling through

various temperatures on the way to the Earth that are not

known to science? It does not travel in the same time warp

all the time, and light from different stars is traveling

in different time warps. At each temperature gradient, they

are going the speed of light, obviously, but speed is

composed of distance and time. If the speed of the

progression of time varies, the distance traveled at a

constant speed must also. To keep the speed of light a

constant, when the distance is the same but the time it

takes to get there is different depending upon temperature,

there is a difference between the outside observer's time

warp and the one at the center of the light. A light year

is a different distance depending upon the location of

those observing the variables, and as such it is a very

uncertain tool for expressing "measurable and repeatable

scientific" results of experimentation.

Even if it were not, let's suppose that the PhD astronomers

say that a star is some 50 to 100 light years away. This

brings up a bit of ancient history. The term "PhD" derives

from the initials of the little known Greek doctor of

witchcraft medicine, Philo Hypocritus Dungstudy. He decided

that he needed a way to determine if one of his patients

had a fever or a chill. He started by putting his hand

under a large pile of sheep dung and sensing the

temperature there. Then he put it under a shorter pile and

did the same. He noticed that the large pile retained the

heat longer than the short one. This gave him the idea of

temperature being based upon the height of the pile of

dung, but it did not tell him what human temperatures

should be when sick or well and so could not be used as a

thermometer.

Next he tried putting the same accurately measured amount

of water in his hand when he had a fever and then when he

was well, but nothing was measurably different in the

height of the water. When he discovered that the liquid

called mercury did change depending upon his health, he

thought he could then develop the first thermometer. His

problem was how to use this new discovery. By putting the

mercury in a tube, he could see its height better than in

his palm. So, after repeated experimentation, he was able

to decide how the mercury should rise in the tube when he

was well. If it was below that he was having a chill and

above that he had a fever. Unfortunately, the doctor died

of mercury poisoning before his invention was patented by

the company named Merck, after mercury, of course. After

his death, his name is recalled as the doctor of "Piled

higher and Deeper" fame, who had discovered the observable

effect of temperature on time when his ran out.

Now let's get back to the light year distance measurements

without having any thermometers to measure the temperatures

in which the light travels. How do the PhDs know that? If

it takes 50 years, or so, for the light to reach earth,  it

would take 50 years to send a laser beam up to the star,

hit a reflecting mirror, and then another 50 years for it

to be reflected back to Earth. Those guys would be long

gone by then. And a star at 50 light years distance is a

close one according to their proclaimed observations. Oh,

and one more thing, who put the reflecting mirror on the

star, and how did they keep it from melting?

The Stanley Hypothesis has been tested and found to be true

as long as "Des Cartes" and PhDs don't get into it. But

observable, measurable and repeatable scientific

experimentation with light years as measurements of

distance are as real as the troll under the bridge when the

three Billy Goats Gruff went to cross it. This essay is the

third Billy Goat who charged that troll with lowered horns

and send him into the river never to be seen again, not

even once in a while. And so on.

"Poem - Man and Woman in Worlds Apart" - a poetic essay

"Man and Woman in Worlds Apart" is a sort of poem, but more of a commentary in poem form. There are so many couples who do not understand the causes of their struggles with each other, that this may be a way to give them help. It is a tough message to get once the mistake has been made, but it is possible to return to their natures' designs. Here it is--

Their joyous desire may not be denied
When man and woman meet husband and wife.
But disparate intents deprecate it so
When sense with confusion puts joy aside.
Both are entangled in destiny's traps
Arms 'round each other, their minds apart.
The vine entangles in circuitous flow
Its tension restricts what both may know.
In rising dilemma their natures decry
Stop now or in patience we still may try.
A giant awakened they do not yet know
Forsakes in eternity their solitary life.
When one and one should be making one
Persistence makes two before it is three.
When a merger to one collapses desire
Edges contiguous should contain the fire.
A woman's desire is found in her love
He may not waiver in the truth given her.
She teaches him love, her duty to him
A man must assure that her being was won.
Natures are different in worlds apart
Male and female perceptions not only one.

Trumpery defined and depicted in cartoons

Trumpery is defined in the following ways in various dictionaries:

1. worthless nonsense
2. something without use or value; rubbish; trash; worthless stuff
3. attractive articles of little value or use
4. pretty or fancy objects that are completely useless
5. foolish talk or actions
6. something showy but worthless; nonsense; rubbish
7. showy but worthless finery; bric-a-brac
8. deception; the deceiving of somebody, or schemes conceived for the purpose of deceiving

And to get just a little more literary in commenting on the word and it applications--
"Trumpery is an archaic word for fraud, taken from the French tromper, to deceive somebody. Shakespeare puts it into the mouth of his rogue Autolycus, who boasts of defrauding the gullible with his worthless trinkets: 'Ha, ha! What a fool Honesty is! And Trust, his sworn brother, a very simple gentleman! I have sold all my trumpery . . .'” (A Winter’s Tale, Act IV, Scene IV.) 
<found at Culture and The Age of Trumpery by Daniel Johnson, dated April 2016> [notice that that was a year ago now]


The synonyms for the term "Trumpery," found at <thesaurus.com>, are equally apt:

Synonyms for trumpery

noun deception

• falsehood
• trickery
• nonsense
• rubbish
• malarky
• trash

Now for some graphic evidence of the people seeing Trumpery in action. But first an illustration of its source illustrated by Michael Daley.

This first cartoon, "Liar in Chief," comes from Steve Sack and was published on The Minneapolis Star Tribune

The next cartoon, "Trump Arsenal," comes from Tom Janssen Trump all the way from The Netherlands.

And "Trump Bombs" from Nate Beeler was published by The Columbus Dispatch.

Lastly, to summarize the feelings that Trumpery inspires, this one titled "Trump Apology Tour" is by Pat Bagley and was published by the Salt Lake Tribune.

Just to round things out, the question that we should all be asking is what can the DoO do? The answer can only be that it is an unconstitutional department of offensive war, and that is the most important thing to know.

Donald "Ducking" Trumpery says what he thinks we want to hear and then does what his chosen people want done. It is that simple. Actions always speak louder than words.
