This Blogger met Ronald Reagan once; in an anteroom of the Bel Air Presbyterian Church. This Blogger was surprised at how big he was, thick; not fat, not muscle bound like gym freaks but working man thick, stoker thick. They chatted, about a man they mutually admired, Eric Hoffer, the Stevedore Intellectual. Reagan's political enemy, Michael Dukakis, once said he had never met nor seen a man more comfortable in his own skin that Ronald Reagan. And why not? As a life guard, he had pulled 77 people from the water, many of them lovely young ladies. And while at Warner Brothers Movie Studios, as a contract player; he had received more fan letters than Errol Flynn. As the chat wound down, he asked this Blogger one question:  "What did the Soviets make of him?   This Blogger told him the truth; they thought he was an idiot savant, sent by God to destroy them.   This Blogger    was alive when the Soviet Union collapsed, without the need of a cataclysmic World War III. ...

THE DOBBS DECISION- The DOBBS VS. JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATON Decision, over turned the   stare decisis, the settled law, the 50-year precedent of ROE VS.

Before this Blog continues, this Blogger should make it clear, he supports abortion rights. He believes the planet has too many humans on it as is; and that over population is propelling mankind and the planet toward an extinction event. In 1950, Mexico had a population of 28,00...

It was one of the great joys of this Blogger’s hasty life, to know the stevedore-philosopher Eric Hoffer. He was the author of the tome, THE TRUE BELIEVER; a tome, which everyone interested    in politics and the foibles of human nature, should read; he was one of the great minds of the 20 th  Century.   This    Blogger met Hoffer while he was in exile; he had antagonized the Liberal Elite with his working class insights; he was specifically in exile because of one heresy. He opposed the Elitist viewpoint that Afrofuturism was the inevitable future of Mankind.   Hoffer maintained that post-colonial Africa was all fake glamour, a P.R. veneer; a veneer which would crumble, deteriorate, and atrophy,    because Africans did not have the will, nor instincts nor common sense to MAINTAIN democracy or infrastructure.    As this Blog is being written, one of the super powers of post colonial    Africa, the Republic    of ...
