- Saddam Hussein was a democrat
-
Saddam Hussein was an evil strongarm dictator of Iraq who fell victim to his own evilness and persecution of his own people, pillage of his country's treasury, and acts of depravity and a variety of criminal acts against anyone and everyone who opposed him at any level.
Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti was born April 28, 1937 and called himself an "Iraqi politician" who took control of the country via a fixed election much like the 2020 theft of the US elections by the democrats for which the consequences were totally inadequate.
This resulted in his declaration of himself as the fifth President of Iraq from July 16 1979 through 9 April 2003.
He was a proponent and leader of a revolutionary Arab Socialist political group called the Ba'ath Party which ultimately became Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party with a regional component called the Iraqi Ba'ath Party and it's self ascribed "Ba'athism" which combined Arab nationalism and Arab socialism in which Saddam played a key role in a 1968 coup, aka "July 17 Revolution" which brought his party to power in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein would have made an excellent member of the US democrat party as their tactics and evilness are virtually identical.
He practiced invasions on a broad scale, murdered opponents in horrible fashion on capricious whims, and allowed his evil sons Uday and Qusay to run ripshod over the populace doing the same thing.
He and his regime were deposed in 2003 by a coalition led by the United States which invaded under the false pretenses of "weapons of mass destruction" which did not exist in actuality.
Saddam underwent a trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity under the Iraqi Interim Government and was convicted on November 5, 2006 and was sentenced to death by hanging. The sentence was carried out on December 30, 2006.
His final statement was interrupted by a number of those present. The end came in the middle of his prayers when the trapdoor opened for the drop which broke his neck and dispatched him immediately.
A poor quality video of the execution was recorded on a smartphone and those conducting the execution could be heard insulting the man as he was about to be executed. A second video showing his body was also circulated publicly. His sons, Uday and Qusay had photographs of their bodies prepared for Muslim funeral rites that were also largely circulated.
His tomb was said to have been destroyed in March 2015. Prior to this time a Sunni tribal group reportedly removed his body to a secret location anticipating just such events.

- Mary Tyler Moore's Posthumous Birthday
-
As is inkeeping with my personality, those to whom I become attached are not easily forgotten though they pass on to the great whatever awaits us all. I did an earlier entry upon her death and find that today is her birthday ...
So I couldn't resist revisiting her though she is gone from us forever.
Mary Tyler Moore was an actress, producer, and activist for those social causes she found worthwhile. I watched her for the vast bulk of my early television experience on both The Dick Van Dyke Show and later The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
She did various forays into film as well and even was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress, prior to the academy turning into a bunch of feeble litard assholes out to control that which the public is entitled from actors, actresses, parts, and pictures.
Luckily the Academy has fallen out of favor with the likes of Ricky Gervais stating in no uncertain terms how stupid they are and exactly where they should get off.
Mary Tylor Moore worked for animal rights, vegetarianism and diabetes prevention on top of that thespian interest she maintained thoughout her life.
I will always remember for those parts she brought to the television keeping me occupied otherwise when I could have been out and about getting into trouble.
Mary Tyler Moore passed at the age of 80 on January 25, 2017 in Greenwich, Connecticut, from cardiopulmonary arrest complicated by pneumonia.
She was interred at Fairfield, Connecticut, during a private ceremony at Oak Lawn Cemetery.
She was a liberal, yes. However she moderated her liberal politics with a good dose of common sense, logical thinking, and polite civil comportment ... something distinctly lacking in the democrats of today who will lie, cheat, steal, and rob elected officials and voters of fair electoral process.
Rest in peace.

- Susan Sontag
-
Sometime in the early to mid 1980s I went to see Susan Sontag do a reading of some of her work at one of those colleges on the Horseshoe at the University of South Carolina as part of some cultural mess at the behest of my friend ...
Who was a feminist long before I even knew what one was.
So I listened politely as she rambled on about this, that, and the other in my bliss of ignorance of lesbianism and marveling at the magnificent streak of white going back across that thick black hair.
What kind of cultural impression did I take from it all ? Next to none, but I was a creature always willing to try new things and for a boorish brute of a recently honorably discharged sailor I took it all in stride and made all efforts to be socially acceptable. You see, at that time I was rarely socially acceptable and my tastes borderline with everything your mama told you to avoid.
Over the years I came to understand a bit more about Susan Sontag than I did back at that time. She was one of those multicultural media artist types into writing, film, philosophy, teaching (of leftist libtard course) and spoke about a variety of topics on the lecture circuit.
Much of her existence could be summed up in a variety of metaphors and we are (and were) total opposites in every way a person may be opposite from another.
Described as "one of the most influential critics of her generation" all I wanted to do at that point in time was maybe get in her pants and see if she boinked as well as she bellyached.
Controversy having never been lost on me I think I could have given her and Annie Leibovitz a good run for their money during that time frame. We would have made an excellent trifecta of lesibians back when I was young and my interests could be tamed one way or another.
No luck with all of that now, however.
Susan Sontag died at 71 from a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow with excess immature white blood cells.
I guess everything else got all that maturity she exuded on the public stage.
Rest in peace.

- I Recall Amy Vanderbilt
-
During my childhood and youth there was Amy Vanderbilt. She was known for her writing. I knew her from various television spots and interviews I encountered occasionally. She was published in various areas and was said to be an expert on manners, decorum, and other affairs indigeneous to that socialite lifestyle she lead.
Amy Osborne Vanderbilt was born on Staten Island July 22, 1908. She was the daughter of Joseph Mortimer Vanderbilt who was an insurance broker and Mary Estelle Brooks Vanderbilt. She began work as a part time reporter for the Staten Island Advance when she was 16 while attending high school.
She was educated in Switzerland and the Packer Collegiate Institute of Brooklyn prior to attending New York University. She worked in advertising and public relations, and was published after five years of research.
She hosted television from 1954 through 1960 and did radio as well. She also did consulting for various organizations including the State Department of the United States.
Amy Vanderbilt passed on December 27, 1974 from multiple skull fractures attributed to either a fall or jump from a second floor window of her residence. She is interred in Brooklyn at the Cemetery of the Evergreens.

Today we have another start of kwanzaa, that made up holiday because a sector of the population think they "matter" to the point that they can participate in the pageants, celebrations, and holidays of others then make up their own as they see fit.

We have another Christmas Day.
That damper placed on the season by the trechery of the democrats and their election cheating remains not lost on me. I hope you and yours are having a better time of it than I am.
I will be attending dinner at my sister's house because nobody will leave me to my misery on this, what USED to be most joyful day of the year.
It's a sad, sad Christmas and our country has become tainted by the underhanded cheating ass democrats.
Misery for me this Christmas as the citizen of a dishonest conspiring sector of the country without moral compass, and if Mr Trump is not victorious without good leadership for the foreseeable future.
Boo democrats you are a bunch of criminals in the likeness of your antifa and blm crook ass counterparts.
The President has totally blown the democrat's cover and now it's time for The Republic to do the right thing and uphold the law.

The Gospel according to Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb. 2:22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

- 2 Days til Christmas 2020

So it's just 48 hours til Christmas. This crescendo will then diminish for the New Year celebration and the holidays will yet again be over. We don't know what the new year will bring but I do know one thing.
There needs to be Hell to pay for the democrat party stealing of the election. We need to toss our coward Supreme Court Chief Justice out as a co conspiritor, and perhaps engage our own new world order to teach the gd cheating democrats a lesson in propriety and fairness.
This is a cold election fixing dirty fighting country anymore. Things should have been handled much earlier in the fray. Now the battle will be more difficult and hard fought. This is the results of a complacent set of Republicans out for a position and a paycheck instead of taking care of the people's business.

- Yule Time 2020
-
Yule or Yuletide commences Monday, December 21 2020 and is a festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples.
Scholars have related the original celebrations of Yule to an event called the Wild Hunt which featured participants who were legendary and/or supernatural entities of germanic legend, the Norse god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon MÅdraniht which was the predecessor to Christmas Eve in the world of the pagans.
It all concludes on Friday January 1, 2021.
Yule Time began as a pagan festival and became a Christian conversion of holiday resulting in the tradiiton called Christmastide and even crosses barriers to this day circulating in both religious and pagan groups with equal reverence. To this day the yule log is large log specially selected to be traditionally burned in the fireplace on Christmas Eve. I used to think there was a specific 'yule' tree ... but appearently that was simply one of those younger flights of fancy of which I had many.,
All of this historically stems from earlier solstice celebrations and the tradition of bonfires. There is also a log shaped cake confection called a 'yule log' as well. Yuletide itself has grown to be synonymous with Christmas.
Have a cool Yule, ya'll.

- Forefathers Day 2020
-
I remember my days in Plymouth, Massachusetts being squired around Cape Cod by my late friend, Jerry Landry from Barnstable Village in his Isuzu SUV thingamabob.
I really miss my good friend Jerry to this day.
This is Forefathers Day, which is celebrated in Plymouth each December 22 since 1769 to mark the landing of the pilgrim's there on December 21, 1620.
I spent about an hour at Plymouth Rock which, although was much smaller than I envisioned reading about it during childhood it still inspired thoughts of intrepid people seeking new lives in a new land.
There are a few good hearted groups residing in Plymouth with contradictory accounts of the various aspects of Forefathers Day and the landing at Plymouth Rock as well as indigineous organizations responsible for these historical rememberances.
It is noteworthy that the left would just as soon rewrite all of these in their continuing false narrative of what the United States is and how we got there.
For all you native Cape Codders out there I hope your day is memorable and pleasant.
As for all you other indians like me ...
Try to make due in all your inadequacy as I have over the years.

The holidays are flying past me this year. It is probably a function of the political turmoil which pervades my existence. That damper which is the underhanded criminality of the US democratic party is enough to bring any patriot's spirit plunking down like a lead weight.
However, I keep trying to maintain the reason for the season and though I am likely to become a mercenary quite soon now ...
I'm still inclined to pursue the 'peace on earth good will toward men' thingie — even if half of them are scumbag democrats who would just as soon break the law as breathe.

- Sometimes I daydream, especially at Christmas
-
I have a tendency to drift away lost in my thoughts sometimes. This is a more frequent ocurrence around the holidays because of the increased number of memories and other factors with which I interact in my mind.
The sum total of all this is a conglomeration of "what is", "what was", and even sometimes "what isn't" in that malestrom which are those thoughts whirling around inside my noggin.
So as I drift in and out occasionally of late, I do hope you are maintaining the spirit of the season and having a happy Christmas time in those fleeting moments we're enjoying prior to the advent of that civil war brewing in The Republic.
The democrats just ain't a gonna get away with stealing the election without a fight.
