About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a weekly basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Someday We Will Eliminate Prejudice

I have four
Muslim,
or
Islamic,
or
Arabic Friends
in this
World.
Yes,
I am really naive on the proper etiquette,
of what I should call my friends,
as far as their ethnic background is concerned.
If I see one of them,
I don't go,
"Hey Kuwaiti!"
Or,
"Hi Iranian!"
Or even,
"Hello Afghanistanians!"
Excuse that last one,
I believe I made that word up.
When I see them I say,
"Hello,
or
"Hi."
I am sure they don't look at me
and say,
"There Is My Infidel American Friend."
In all walks of life,
Rich Or Poor,
Educated Or Uneducated,
A Person Of Color......
Wait,
come to think of it,
we are all people of color.
Be it
Chartreuse,
Indigo,
Violet,
Olive,
Umber,
or any
Crayola Color.
We are all just people.
But,
in all walks of life
and in every ethnic background,
there are loonies who will hate the normality of everyday life
and people who do not look exactly like them.
Because they believe they are better then other people because of a skin color.
How stupid is that!
They will perform ghastly acts of violence against another human being just to get their 15 minutes of fame in life.
Terrorists come from all walks of life too.
From all
Economic,
and
Social Classes.
 Remember
Remember
Osama Bin Laden?
He was born
Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden
on
March 10, 1957,
in
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
to construction billionaire
Mohammed Awad bin Laden
and
Mohammed's 10th Wife,
Syrian-born
Alia Ghanem.
Terrorist operate in every country of the
World.
Yes,
even in the
Soviet Union,
North Korea,
and
China.
So next time you look at someone
and you feel the urge to have one of those prejudiced moments,
relax.
Stop hating.
When the
Germans
came into this country,
they were persecuted for being infidels.
The
Jews,
the
Irish,
and the
Italians
were treated the same way when they got here.
All
Asian
groups were treated the same way on the
West Coast.
The
Spanish,
the
French,
the
English,
and even the
Danish
had their moments of persecution.
They were all hated eventually,
and rightfully so,
by the true first
Americans
when they got here.
Because they claimed the
Land,
Water,
and
Food
as their own.
Not like the
Native American Indians,
who knew that
Mother Nature
is the rightful owner of everything on this
Earth!

Time For A Change - Make Sure You Vote This Coming Election

When I growing up,
our country was in the midst of the
Vietnam War.
People older than me but still considered young by the majority of the population in the
United States
were protesting injustices
and the power of the status quo.
What I like about the protests going on today is that young people are coming out
and marching against injustice once again.
I am here to tell everyone,
that this is the first step in changing our country for the better.
The next big step is one of the most important of all.
Going Out & Voting
this fall.
Please
Register
to vote if you haven't already.
The problem this time around will be from the old guard of right wing politicians who are afraid they are losing power.
They are trying to make it hard for you to vote so you won't even try.
They are closing voting locations across the country so it is harder for
Latino
and
Black Americans
a chance to vote.
The right wing have blocked mail in voting in every state possible because they are afraid that the majority of people will vote
Democratic.
“They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again." President Trump on Fox News.
They want to make it difficult for
Democrats
to vote,
hoping the difficulty will keep a lot of them home.
Long lines
and distance voting locations will make it almost impossible for the poor,
handicap,
and minorities the chance to vote.
This is why it is so important for the young people protesting today,
who are better suited to handle these adverse conditions,
to come out in droves.
First you must register to vote,
then actually going out and vote!
Remember,
what the right wing wants you to believe is that your one vote doesn't count.
History has shown that when there is a low turnout of voters,
Republicans
win.
Large turnouts,
Democrats
win.
"President Trump on Monday morning became the latest in a procession of Republicans to say making it easier for more people to vote would hurt his party politically." Fox & Friends.

I Will Be Seeing You Again

I have just realized something.
I am an adult.
And an adult can buy anything he wants,
anytime he wants.
So I came home with three cakes today,
with only one word written on each.
Breakfast,
Lunch,
and
Dinner.

UPI 
ran a story today where
South Carolinians
have named a local alligator,
"Trump-a-gator."
He must be using the same spray-on tan products!

Will Rodgers once said;
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice Doggie' until you find a rock."

You know,
people who have everything they want,
are fond of telling people who have nothing they want,
that they really don't want it.

 Two Elephants meet a totally naked guy.
After a while,
one elephant says to the other:
“I really don’t get how he can feed himself with that thing!”
 
Here is a fun fact.
At any given moment,
about .7% of the population is drunk!

Did you hear that oxygen
and magnesium went on a date?
I mean,
OMG!
(Chemistry Joke. Get It?)

Chemists make crappy assault soldiers.
They don’t have the element of surprise.

What is thirty-five-feet long
and has forty-two teeth?
A bus full of rednecks.

My neighbor who is a blond told her Doctor.
"I think I am in trouble. I swallowed an ice cube three days ago and it hasn't come out yet."

I am writing this right now while I am at my Doctor's office.
She has just told me that I have a terminal illness
and only have 10 to live.
I asked frantically,
"Ten? Ten what? Ten months? Ten weeks?"
She said,
"Nine."

 This is,
"Eight."
You Know You Might Be A Redneck When You Finally Cut The Grass
And Find A Car,
"Seven."
Jim Hauenstein,
"Six."

And,
"Five."

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.”
- Jim Henson -
"Four."

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
"Three."

Can We Try Trickling Up

The Trickle-Up Effect.
"Or, it is sometimes referred to as the Keynesian economics in which stimulation is enhanced when the government lowers taxes on the middle class and increases government spending. The Trickle-Up Effect is an economic theory used to describe the overall aggregate demand of households and middle-class people to drive and support the economy. The theory was founded by John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946)."
"Keynesian economists often argue that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes which require active policy responses by the public sector, in particular, monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the government, in order to stabilize output over the business cycle. Keynesian economics advocates a mixed economy – predominantly private sector, but with a role for government intervention during recessions."
In other words,
if you leave it up to the private sector alone,
there would have been another
Great Depression 
not just a
Great Recession.
(2008)
The Federal Government had to bail out
The Auto Industry,
The Housing Market,
The Banking System,
and that is to name a few of businesses they have helped in recent years.
"Keynesian economics served as the standard economic model in the developed nations during the later part of the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-war economic expansion (1945–1973). The advent of the financial crisis of 2007–08 caused a resurgence in Keynesian thought, which continues as new Keynesian economics. In theory, if the interest rate at which businesses and consumers can borrow is decreased, investments which were previously uneconomic become profitable, and large consumer sales which are normally financed through debt (such as houses, automobiles, and, historically, even appliances like refrigerators) become more affordable. A principle function of central banks in countries which have them is to influence this interest rate through a variety of mechanisms which are collectively called monetary policy. This is how monetary policy which reduces interest rates is thought to stimulate economic activity, i.e. "grow the economy," and why it is called expansionary monetary policy."
In contrast;
"Trickle-down economics is a rhetorical term used to criticize free market economics. No economist has ever supported trickle-down economics, which is the idea that giving the wealthy tax breaks will encourage them to spend more, and so this wealth will "trickle down" to the less wealthy."
Thank you
There are always two sides to every argument.
Just don't blow off what I am saying here
and not research the facts for yourself.
Some people will always believe what they are told,
even if there is proof against it.
I have one friend who will vote for
Donald Trump
because,
as he puts it,
"I don't want to waste my vote."
As far as I can tell,
he always votes Republican no matter what.
I have a
Brother-In-Law
who always votes against the
Incumbent,
even when they are a
Honest Politician.
Stating,
"Nobody should be in Office longer than Four Years."
He uses this policy from voting for the
President
down to the
Local School Board Official.
