I believe in old Russia serfs were hung and shouted "Long live the Tsar." Tsardom was not thought responsible but bad advisors were and if only the Tsar knew all would be different. In the case of we moderns evidently we serfs think the same. Warp Speed Trump is not blamed, bad advisors he trusted are. Pitted then in Big Time Wrestling one against the other Harris vs. Trump the non-candidate non-profit attorney whose daughter in law is former CIA decides from spite to not run 3d party but jump into the ring to back the Great Pretender. Of course RFK Jr. overlooks Warp Speed. Perhaps because neither denounces all vaccinations or calls for significant reform of FDA or CDC. Nor denounces Israel the Sacred Cow. I feel like the States are in the Bosch painting The Cure of Folly. Master, cut the stone out, fast. My name is Lubbert Das, a comical (foolish) character in Dutch literature. Michel Foucault, in his 1961 book History of Madness, says "Bosch's famous doctor is far more insane than the patient he is attempting to cure, and his false knowledge does nothing more than reveal the worst excesses of a madness immediately apparent to all but himself."

And what about climate change and the obvious intention to lock us all down again with another phony pandemic, be it mpox or bird flu? As is often the case, it is what politicians don't say that really matters.
