Huzza? Whuzza?

Here’s something I didn’t know until about 30 seconds ago. The word “boogaloo,” that I used in a post not long ago, has been appropriated by far-right wackos!

“Boog” is short for boogaloo, a far-right anti-government movement that began on the extremist site 4chan and aims to start a second American civil war.

This is screwed-up beyond belief. Trump has got to go! He’s been validating and enabling these armed clowns to an extremely dangerous degree, and I have my fingers crossed for election day.

(Huzza=Huh? Whuzza=What?)

STOP or I’ll SHOOT — Again!

“You have to arrest people and you have to try people. And they have to go to jail for long periods of time,” the president said.

That should have been what he said about the cops and civilians who think they’re Judge Dredd, killing unarmed people in the street. Every time an unarmed black man is shot dead when running away from a cop, there are countless online comments saying, “Then they shouldn’t run!” Avoiding arrest isn’t a crime punishable by death. George Floyd didn’t run, and none of the video shows him resisting.

“It’s a movement, if you don’t put it down it will get worse and worse,” Trump said. “The only time it’s successful is when you’re weak and most of you are weak.”

Why bother responding to the crisis? The protests will just magically disappear.

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

The Rolling Stones album Beggar’s Banquet includes a song called “Prodigal Son.”

There was some initial confusion about the songwriting credit, having not been clearly attributed to the Reverend Robert Wilkins, who first recorded it in 1964.

The song is actually a reworking of Wilkins’ song “That’s No Way To Get Along” from 1929, before he became a devout Christian.
