Chapter 30: Titanica

This and that from the American left and right has left me feeling America should change its name to Titanica. 

A ten-year-old Ohio girl, made pregnant by rape when she was nine, was sent by her Ohio doctor to Indiana, where she was able to get an abortion. The American Right said it was a hoax. When it turned out not to be a hoax, the American Right assailed the girl’s doctors. When it came out that the rapist was an immigrant, the American Right made that their main focus. There were cries that the young girl should have been forced to have the baby. Not once did I see the American Right demonstrate any love or compassion for the young girl. I concluded the American Right are not human, but are subhuman.


A Phoenix, Arizona man persuaded an Arizona state court judge to appoint him Executor of the estate of the fetus his third wife had medically aborted after he sued her for divorce and ended their marriage. As Executor, he was granted legal standing to file a wrongful death case against the abortion providers.

An Arizona judge says a man may begin establishing an estate on behalf of an aborted fetus so he can sue a clinic for terminating his third wife's pregnancy. 

Mario Villegas, 41, was allowed to establish an estate for the embryo, dubbed 'Baby Villegas,' in order to sue Jackrabbit Family Medicine Inc. and Camelback Family Planning, which carried out an abortion for ex-wife Meagan in 2018. 

Villegas, a U.S. Marine veteran who accompanied Meagan during the procedure and consultations, claimed doctors failed to properly inform her of the health risks of an abortion, as well as not telling his ex-wife about the 'satisfaction' that comes with being a mother.

I concluded the ex-marine and the judge are not human, but are subhuman.

A while back, the Saudi Crown Prince had a journalist, who had criticized him, killed and chopped up into small pieces. I concluded the Crown Prince was subhuman.

President Joe Biden said he would make the Crown Prince a pariah. 

Biden followed through last week, by taking a large entourage of American officials to Saudi Arabia, where they all bumped-fists, smiled at and kissed the the international terrorist's ass, hoping he will sell America more oil.

I concluded shit birds of a feather flock together.

In my youth and early so-called manhood, I played a lot of golf and was a fairly good player during some stretches, but in the end, my swing was unreliable, and my back was ailing, and I gave up the game, which the novella Golf in the Kingdom called an X-ray of the soul. 

Then along came the Australian legend golfer Greg Norman, who had made a financial deal with the Saudis to back a new golf tour. I had to wonder if Greg would have done that if 9/11 had occurred in Sydney or Melbourne, instead of in New York City? 

What do you think?

Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 terrorists were Saudis. 

When 9/11 occurred, America closed its borders, so that no one could leave - unless they were members of the Saudi Royal Family, hanging out in their Los Vegas casino hotel. 

The new golf tour, LIV, offered high profile professional golfers so much money that they would never have to work again, if they didn’t want to. Quite a few of those high profile golfers went for it. About half of them, perhaps, were Americans.

Donald Trump, financially bailed out twice by a different Saudi prince, owns golf courses in Ireland and Florida, which made deals to host two LIV events.

The POLITICO article below was in my Apple news feed this very morning. After reading it, I wondered how many 9/11 survivor families voted for Donald Trump in 2016, and will vote for him in 2024?

Trump world reaches out to 9/11 families on eve of their LIV golf protest


Protests are planned for the tournament to be held at Bedminster this coming week.


Dozens of family members and survivors of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack will head to former President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club next week to protest the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf event there.


Brett Eagleson, a founder of the group 9/11 Justice, told POLITICO the group will hold a press conference on Friday morning down the street from the exclusive club. Trump’s Bedminster is the site of the next big event for the Saudi Arabian-funded golf series. And Eagleson’s group hopes to call attention to the Saudi government’s connections to 9/11 and call out the 48-man field heading to the tourney — which includes stars like Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson — for “choosing to take Saudi payouts and look the other way on the country’s human rights abuses and role in the worst terrorist attacks on American soil.”


According to Eagleson, over a hundred 9/11 victim families and survivors are expected to attend the protest. They will, in addition, have the support of members of Congress like Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), though it’s unclear if any lawmaker is able to show up in person.


The protest places yet another unfavorable spotlight on what has become a source of sharp criticism for Trump. His and his family's ties to the Saudis and his association with LIV has come against the backdrop of a renewed push for the U.S. to more fully distance itself from the country over its human rights record. President Joe Biden himself faced recent criticism for visiting Saudi Arabia after vowing to make the nation a “pariah.”


Trump appears to understand the sensitivity too. Eagleson, whose father, John Bruce Eagleson died in the South Tower on Sept. 11, said a representative for Trump personally called him yesterday in response to a letter his group sent relaying its “deep pain and anger” over the decision to host two different inaugural LIV golf events.


The aide, according to Eagleson, said Trump had read their letter, and told Eagleson “9/11 is really near and dear to him and it’s so important to him he is going to remember everyone who signed the letter and he personally told this individual to reach out.”


But, Eagleson said, it was of “little to no value.”


“My response is, if it was so important to him why did he tell you to call me, why didn't he call himself?” he added. “[The aide] just kept repeating the same talking points, one being that the contract is binding and there is no way out of it. And when I pressed on when [the contract] was signed, she said she didn't know and just continued to say that the President was flattered with the letter, which was a weird thing to say, since it was not a very flattering letter. It called him a hypocrite essentially.”


In addition to the letter, 9/11 Justice has also requested a meeting with Trump ahead of the tournament to express their concerns and discuss Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks. The group is particularly focused on showing the public a clear connection between the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Saudi government. They point to newly declassified documents related to the U.S. government’s investigation of the attacks and suspected official Saudi support for the hijackers as providing clear evidence of the nation’s role that day. Fifteen of the 19 al Qaeda terrorists who hijacked planes on 9/11 were Saudi nationals.


The group’s letter to Trump noted that he himself blamed Saudi Arabia for the attack during a 2016 interview on Fox News.


The Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment.


The tournament that is set to kick off on Friday at Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster is LIV’s second U.S event. The tour is backed by the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund that is chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who U.S. intel has blamed for the gruesome death of a Washington Post columnist. It has not been without controversy since its inception. Critics of the LIV Invitational Series say it is an attempt by the Saudis to “sports-wash” their record on human rights.


And the golf series has split the golf community too, pitting the PGA against LIV, which is being led by golf legend Greg Norman. Pro golfers who have decided to join LIV — reportedly accepting as much as $200 million in signing bonuses — have been suspended from PGA Tour events, though are still permitted to participate in the four yearly major tournaments.


Trump responded to that ban on Truth Social, and encouraged pro golfers to go ahead and join LIV.


“All of those golfers that remain ‘loyal’ to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big ‘thank you’ from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year,” Trump said on his social media platform. “If you don’t take the money now, you will get nothing after the merger takes place, and only say how smart the original signees were.”


Trump’s decision to host the LIV series at two of his clubs (Doral in Miami will host the other) comes after the PGA decided days after the Jan. 6 riots on Capitol Hill to terminate an agreement to play the 2022 PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster.


9/11 Justice isn’t the only advocacy group planning to protest the golf event next weekend. 9/11 Families United, led by Terry Strada, the widow of 9/11 victim Tom Strada, have also planned a press conference set to take place at the Clarence Dillon Public Library in Bedminster on Tuesday morning.


Eagleson said 9/11 families have been “beside ourselves” over Trump’s decision.


“We can’t imagine that the president, knowing what he knows and with his history on this, would host and facilitate the Saudi government have this tournament literally 50 miles from ground zero in a state where 750 were murdered,” said Eagleson.


I concluded shit birds of a feather flock together.


As I watch the not even remotely disguised effort by Trump, the Republican Party and the entire America Right, including five United States Supreme Court Justices, and every red state, to make America a right-wing Christian Caliphate modeled after Saudi Arabia.


As I watch many Americans of note and of common circumstances say there is no way in hell Trump will be president again! 


In 2016, I watched many Americans of note and of common circumstances say there was no way in hell Trump will be elected!


As I read online and see on CNN that Trump will be in prison over January 6, 2020, by the time of the 2024 presidential election. 


Do you bet your life and your soul the US Department of Justice can pick a jury of Trump's peers, which will convict him?


As I read online that Trump won’t run in 2024, because he is afraid he will be prosecuted and put in prison if he does run then? 


Do you think Trump fears being prosecuted? Can you imagine how much money he will make by asking for legal defense donations?


As I read online that the Republican Party will ditch Trump and run Trump's vice-president Mike Pence or Florida governor Ron DeSantis in 2024. 


Do you think either man will stand a chance against the Democrat candidate, without Donald Trump and his MAGA horde' votes?


As I hear on the grapevine that the Democrat Mullahs have decided to wait until 2024 to prosecute Trump, hoping that, and a new Democrat president and vice-president candidate - goodbye Joe and Kamala - will keep the Democrats in control of the White House, and, hopefully, the US Senate and House of Representatives. Can you imagine how much money Trump will make off of that?


People who actually know me, know I am a political independent and do not belong to any religion. They know I hammered Barack Obama, when he was president. They know I hammered Hillary Clinton, when she ran against Trump in 2016. They know I hammered Trump in 2016. They know I said Trump and Hillary should both be locked up, in adjoining cells. I said it many times. 


As a lawyer raised as a Southern Baptist, then as an Episcopalian, I knew just how Titanic it would be for Trump to get elected and appoint right-wing Christian US Supreme Court Justices and federal judges.


So, when I look at the sorry mess that is America after four years of Trump, who is making fortunes off his political Game of Thrones; who is no more worried about being tried and convicted than the Saudi Crown prince is worried about being tried and convicted; who will promise during his 2024 campaign to pardon anyone the Democrat-controlled government prosecuted and convicted; who recently promised to fire and replace every US Government employee, who is not a Trump loyalist ...


I think Trump will be the next US President, unless something unexpected happens.


Once again in the White House, Trump will do everything possible to make himself King of America, unless something unexpected happens.


What do I mean by unexpected?


I mean, Trump has a massive stroke and cannot function as subhuman any longer. 


I mean Trump has a massive heart attack and he dies. 


I mean Trump is abducted by aliens and never heard from again. 


I mean Trump wakes up one morning, after being visited in his sleep by Jesus Christ. 


Trump runs out of the White House stark naked, carrying a Bible raised high in one hand, screaming there are no fig leaves in paradise, nor any secrets! It is more blessed to give than to receive! He has seen the light. 


Trump resigns as president, gives all his money to the poor, and becomes a Franciscan monk street preacher in Washington, D.C.


A south Alabama amiga shared this poem with me in 2019.


Pigs in mud 

 

All want the security of the well fed pig.

Horror at the baseness unrecognized.

A lifetime spent in shirt stuffing.

And pen comparison.

Is truth more palatable when honeyed?

Is a stark soulscape less so with the eyes of Monet?

May my affectations always be known and understood.
