Thanks OB. Well said as always and I agree. Sorry about your daughter. Was that this past December 23rd? "Biden is worse than Trump. Trump inherited the system. Biden was its architect" - Chris Hedges
Yes. A cop, who looked absolutely miserable, came to my door before 7 in the morning six days ago now. Great quote by Hedges, I'll have to use that in the future.
Hello, all. Substack lets you go into depth. There *is* a relation between the Govt. and our lives. Why should she not have gotten help from The Govt. for as long as she needed it? Short answer probably relates to missiles and what they really spend our treasure on.
Not sure people generally know about this place except from JPR. I'm the person who has/had the name MackMarkstein on JPR. But here I quickly picked a former name, Number6, that being who I'd been on SV. But I'd almost never posted on SV, only a few times from the weirdness of the 2004 Pres. election to early Obama times. So, anyway, Number6 relates to being a refugee from a place where I'd previously been a refugee, if you factor in the SV association.
I might change my substack name due to the annoying fact that there may already be a Number6. He comments on the Alex Berenson substack. Thus maybe I could become Doppleganger but that's probably taken too.
Reagan was so monstrous: He made the hair stand up on the back of my neck when I watched him deliver his addresses, no particular reason why. I agree that Trump was not the worst, not even the worst since 1980: tough competition. Trump obviously quickly attracted daily smearing from the media (that and Russia! Russia! being spook projects from Day One) and when he or one of his people coined the word "fake news" that just made it worse. However he can now be seen as a pioneer of flagging The Media as being a coordinated fairytale-spinning conspiracy of its own.
Also some of our Presidents who I thought at the time were fairly blah, I think had some greatness, now. Including LBJ (but didn't care much for his military policy). And Truman. Wasn't alive for his presidency: Had to filter out the excess pride my Dad had in him 'cuz Truman was a home-town guy...Anyway as I understand it now Truman tried to launch Medicare--LBJ got it done via his Congress-blackmailing or persuading skills.
I am glad to see you here. My dad personally knew LBJ, and I met him a few times when I was a kid. To be perfectly honest, I remember his beagles more than I do him. He did say once when I was present that his proudest accomplishment was to make sure 99% of Americans had electricity and indoor plumbing, which is true, and never mentioned anywhere.
I had an uncle who was on Okinawa after it had been conquered, and was to be in the first wave of the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. As far as he was concerned, Truman saved his life. There were three things on the wall of his dining room--a cross, a photo of FDR, and a photo of Harry Truman. My uncle said the bravest thing Truman ever did was to integrate the armed forces in 1946, and that it was a damned shame Truman didn't get his socialized medicine through.

Being the slowest substack joiner ever: I've been following the Covid people's substacks for many months, will figure out a username, then I think will create a newsletter.
