Prime Minister Mark Carney- The Leader of the Free World

 

News outlets are reporting that just today the Neon Orange God of American Proles has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if went ahead with a trade deal with China. The Neon God is worried that PM Mark Carney himself is angling to make Canada a “Drop Off Port” of Chinese good that will flood into the United States.

On the surface, what essentially is happening is that the Neon God is transferring his fears of little brown people coming up from the southern border to cheap Chinese electric vehicles crossing into the US from the north. 

I imagine Neon God is partially concerned about this situation because heaven forbid that Elon fucking Musk might actually have to play by the rules of the great game of capitalism. But the main reason Neon God is losing his ever decreasing supply cranial voltage is because the honorable Prime Minister of Canada is running rings around the supposed leader of the free world.

Truth be told, while Neon God, “the festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit” was at the recent World Economic Forum in Davos he clearly proved to the world that the United States is in full collapse.

Neon God’s obsession with acquiring Greenland- by force if necessary- will in more enlighten times in the future be studied by political scientists, historians, and anyone in the profession of treating mental illness. And while our erstwhile allies were able to placate America’s mentally challenged, narcissistic ruler and divert his attention to a different shiny object, just today he once again called the Canadian Prime Minister “Governor Carney.” Reminding everyone that Neon God was still fixated on making our patient and kind neighbor to the north, the “51st state.”

Where PM Carney proved himself to be a true leader was when he turned down Neon God’s invitation to his “Board of Peace.” This pissed off Neon God to the point he released a statement revoking the invite. Which I’m sure in Neon God’s decaying neural pathways he believes happened retroactively before Carney politely told him to fuck off.

What I really like about PM Carney is that he is emerging as the leader of a movement of countries to counter US, Russia, and Chinese global influence. If I had the PM’s ear I would be screaming into it for him to push hard for the movement to forge a new economic and military alliance because, like I and many others have mentioned, the United States should never be trusted again.

Even if Neon God and his low-IQ cohorts are expelled from power in 2028 the United States could very easily fall victim to the likes of such a fascist demagogue. In fact I’m sure it will happen because the average American hasn’t got the IQ of a rock. As a nation Americans are looking for easy and painless answers to problems that require years of patience and rational thought.

In fairness, I’m including the short-sighted and spoiled idiots on the left of the American political spectrum. The people who couldn’t vote for the black lady back in November of 2024 own a huge chunk of the blame for the deaths and damage Neon God has caused.

So to any of our Canadian kinfolk that might find this shout out to the blogging abyss, please support your Prime Minister! Work together with any country looking to preserve liberal democratic values because the alternative is US Army M-1A2 tanks rolling into Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Sandbar Exile

 

Had ChatGPT recreate what I saw. It's pretty close but the sandbar was longer.

Back in September my wife and I were returning from Florida after having spent a week visiting the Mouse and his friends. My motivation for being on this trip is, of course, my wife who is one of those “Disney Adults” some complain about. She’s always had a thing for Disney but her enthusiasm now is mainly a leftover from us taking our kids there back when they were small. 

I’m lukewarm at best about Walt’s creation now. Whatever “magic” existed for me has been smothered by decades of corporate greed. The goose that used to lay all those golden eggs was cooked long ago with the carcass cut into pieces and sold off at outrageous prices. At some point there’ll be a reckoning for the grossly charming and overpaid corporate personalities along with the swine-like shareholders but that’s in the future.   

But all things considered, it wasn’t a bad trip, the crowds were manageable and while we naturally paid an arm and a leg for the experience, I was able to unwind and relax. No, it wasn’t my idea of a perfect vacation but take what you can get these days. 

But it was on the drive home when I saw something that would have made Jimmy Buffett smile. 

Somewhere around northern Florida or southern Georgia we were on a bridge crossing an estuary when I glanced to my right. Someone had grounded a jon boat on a nice sized sandbar and set up one of those beach cabana shade tents. Naturally, since I was driving I was only able to look down at it for a second or two, but I noticed there was someone sitting in a chair under the shade. Beside that person was an open cooler. 

I haven’t a clue if that person was just the first to arrive and was waiting for others. Or did they just feel the need to get away from everyone and decided to use that sandbar for a short, self-imposed exile from the world?

I can’t overstate the urge I felt to slam on the brakes and stop to take a picture of the scene below me. But we were on I-95 with oodles of traffic behind us, so it wasn’t possible. Now that I’m back in the real world, I think about that person on the sandbar sitting under a cabana drinking a cool beverage way too much to be healthy.

It's Time to Think About a "National Divorce."

 

Just because I’m a glutton for abuse I’ve decided to take a moment and shout out into the void once again. With 2026 just a few days old it seems to me a good time to ponder about the dystopian nightmare that was 2025. 

I mean during the COVID pandemic back in 2020 at least we had Netflix’s Tiger King to while the hours during that way too short lockdown. What did 2025 give us? Off the top of my head I remember warrant-less immigration raids, Trump destroying a third of the White House for his ballroom/bunker. And of course 2025’s most precious gift is the Epstein Files.

** Quick sidenote: I abhor conspiracy theories but I have to officially state I believe old Jeffery did not commit suicide. 

If I could give an award for 2025’s biggest comedy it would go to the Republican Party and their mindless frailing after making the release of Epstein’s client list and correspondence a major campaign issue back in 2024.  One of the very few bright spots I found for 2025 was the slow peeling away of MAGA Republicans as Trumpy and his band of incompetent minions backtracked on releasing the files.

Yes, I especially mean Majorie Taylor Greene and her defection from the MAGA cult by refusing to play the game Speaker Mike Johnson and other congressional Republicans tried to play until even they in their stunted minds realized the Epstein jig was up. 

The one beneficial thing I learned from 2025 again dovetails with something Majorie said during one of her pre-awaking rants. I’ve come to believe that ultimately Blue and Red state America are going to have to go their separate ways. Yes, I mean Majorie’s “Political Divorce.”

I live in deep Red State America and despite the clusterfrak that has been Trump’s second term all the MAGA cultists I know are still dedicated to their Neon Orange Lord and Savior. What’s worse is that you can’t help but notice the rage they felt concerning all those abused by Epstein and his Igor-like girlfriend have now faded away to excuses. 

Case in point is Megyn Kelly’s surreal excuse of Epstein's crimes and those that hung out on his island. How she wasn’t tossed onto the street after that diatribe defies explanation for me. But of course, she has the right-wing bubble and right-wing hypocrisy to protect her.

**Second sidenote: I have seen the pictures of Slick Willy hanging with Jeffery and he needs to face the repercussions just as much as Trump.

Enough of me going on my tangent attacking helpless windmills.

Republicans alone didn’t bring us to this point. Oh, they bear a lot of the blame but national Democrats have had their ass so far up their heads for decades. But with the GOP filled with fascists and other assorted nutjobs they are the only semi-responsible game in town.

The majority of Blue States pay out more in federal taxes than nearly all of the conservative Red States. What do the Blue States get in this deal? Blue States are dominated by basket case third world states like all of Red America. 

While the rest of the Western world and other developed countries have some form of universal healthcare the USA has a collection of insurance companies whose main concern is keeping the shareholders happy. What gets weird is when a European asks if it’s true that families go bankrupt in America trying to deal with medical costs.

It’s the same with less advantaged kids trying to have the American Dream but being weighed down for decades paying off student loans. Funny thing, I’d have to look into it again but it was Reagan who brought about this student loan bullshit. 

Oh, I could go on for far longer than I have the patience for these days. So I’ll close by saying it’s the Red States that want to take away any and all of the civil rights won by women, the LGBT community, and minorities. It’s the Red States that want to create government agencies to track pregnant women to prevent them from having control of their bodies. It’s the Red States that openly talk about persecuting anyone who even spreads information about abortion.

Little secret that not so secret, MAGA folks who are overwhelmingly white are terrified of all those black and brown folks having more babies than them. 

I’ve honestly and reluctantly come to the conclusion it would be best for Blue States to break away from the paralyzed, incompetent and corrupt US government and form their own union. As long as the Red States have an electoral stranglehold on federal elections America is going to fall further behind the rest of the world.

I liken my attitude to a spouse who for years has put up with an emotionally abusive partner. This spouse has tried to save the marriage but the partner refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem. 

**Final sidenote: My wife and I are currently planning to move to a bluer state in a couple of years. I’ve actually told my kids and their significant others they need to think about just leaving the country. If and when a divorce becomes unavoidable, it will not be amicable.
