Those of us 'of a certain age' remember




reading George Orwell's '1984',  and 'Animal Farm', where the government was taken over by a bunch of pigs, where 'all pigs are equal, but some are more equal than others'. They used 'alternative facts', issued to the sheep, with a FOX in charge. (you can't make this stuff up.)
Does 'Ignorance is Strength' remind you of someone? (I LOVE the uneducated.)
At the time, we thought it was a farce...... Now we have the Orange Clown/Pig, in charge, and many are revisiting the cautionary tale, but it's too late....

George Orwell's tale of a sad, grim future, the book,1984, has experienced a recent resurgence, climbing to the top of Amazon.com's bestseller list of books.
The book, written in 1949, required reading for many in high school and college, was No. 1 on the list on Wednesday morning.

Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Yahoo…Dotard’s Big Beautiful Diesel Deal pissed off Ukraine and most of the world, plus well over half of Congress and the US, BUT, it helped his buddy Putin and his partners in Big Oil, sooo, we can see where the dick’s priorities are.

  President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia would supply the global market with 4.8 million metric tons, or nearly 36 million barrels total.  This is equivalent to a little more than a single day of global demand.  The U.S. is a net diesel exporter so it does not need Russian supply, said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. Goldman Sachs estimated the initial Russian release would only reduce wholesale diesel prices by $1 to $2 per barrel, which is currently at approximately $200/barrel.
