That meme above was just posted on my Facebook page today by a previously functional Georgetown Law Center lawyer of mu acquaintance. Could the whining of the Trump Deranged be any more humiliating and irrational? How tragic: a duly elected President of the United States is following through on his campaign promises in record time. Or is the whiny Democrat on the verge of tears because her party is behaving like seven-year olds? I doubt it.

In a comment I made to this post, explaining why some of my friends whom I know well, respect, and have seen fall into the pit of despond since Trump 2.0 got underway, I wrote in part,

First, there are many liberals, many of them devout Christians, who really do think that the United States should be in the business of income re-distribution and hard government over-sight of virtually all individual activities. Even though they know government is untrustworthy and incompetent as well as corrupt, they won’t give up—or are in denial about–the dream. They also somehow thought that the US was really on the way to this Nirvana, and living in a bubble—the arts, education, academia, the non-profit sector, they have been bombarded for years by one-way propaganda. They also tend to trust the news media, which is dominated by people with a similar orientation. Such individuals, who may be wise and perceptive in most other areas, shift to pure emotion now because they were under the influence of the mirage that the country was overwhelmingly in favor of the nanny state, and it isn’t and never was. Trump is the most jarring human splash of ice water in the face that these people could experience, so their reaction is visceral, emotional (angry) and irrational.

We need to learn from people who react this way. My sister, for example, is essentially furious now all the time. It’s all rooted, unfortunately in hatred for Trump, some of it legitimately based on one comment or another, some on class prejudice and intellectual snobbery, a lot on ignorance of history and leadership, and too much on getting lied to by the news media. My sister, for example, insisted that the GOP was to blame for the illegals tidal wave because Trump killed the bill that was the best that anyone could do to stem that tide. But that was just an Axis lie, as Trump made clear in his SOTU. He didn’t need that law, and neither did Biden. My sister is also very intelligent about most things, but regarding Trump she is a fully programed useful idiot.

I don’t know how these people can be saved.

Then there are the completely ethically crippled Trump Deranged responsible for these bumper-stickers…

I have yet to discover what group or collection of psychopaths is responsible for them, but the way Democratic officials have been acting of late, I would not be surprised to find their origin to be from some pretty damning places.

In other ethics news…

1. So it seems Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez employed an illegal immigrant on her campaign who just self-deported to Columbia. Diego de la Vega told interviewers, “It’s bittersweet. I hadn’t left the country in 23 years — from age seven to age 30. Now, I can’t go back to the US. It feels like exile. It’s a very permanent move. But my wife and I are confident we made the right decision. And, after some time, it’s been a real pleasure to be here.” Good! Despite his illegal status, de la Vega was repeatedly hired by Democratic politicians. From 2019 to 2021 he worked as a “special assistant” to former Harlem Assembly member Robert J. Rodriguez, earleir he had interned for US Rep. Carolyn Maloney. He joined AOC’s staff in 2022, holding various positions before rising to Deputy Communication Director. “Diego is amazing,” Ocasio-Cortez told Migrant Insider. “We love him.”  That’s nice. He’s an outlaw. But then, maybe it’s fate: after all, Diego de la Vega was also the name of Zorro’s alter-ego.

2. I think we can agree that this was unethical:

Nonetheless, Alaila Everett, the runner who attacked Brookville High School junior Kaelen Tucker during the 4×200 meter relay, went full Jimmy Durante (in the Broadway musical “Jumbo,”) claiming that the video was misleading.“Everybody has feelings, so you’re physically hurt, but you’re not thinking of my mental, right?”she said while crying. Everette went on to play the victim. “They are assuming my character, calling me ghetto and racist slurs, death threats, all of this just because of a nine second video,” she added.

Yeah, you know, I think it’s fair to make certain assumptions about someone’s character who behaved like that in a race. Zeketa Cost, Everett’s mom, did throw some light on how her daughter got this way, saying that she “100%” believes her daughter.“I didn’t have to see a first video, second video or tenth video. I know 100% that she would never do that to nobody,” Cost insisted.

3. I’d say the adoption agency messed up big time with this couple. Daniel Schwartz, 48, of Odessa, Texas, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his adopted 8-year-old daughter Jaylin Anne. He and his wife forced her to jump on a trampoline in 110-degree heat as punishment. She kept jumping until she collapsed and died of dehydration. Schwarz was sentenced to 18 years in the custody of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Ashley Schwarz, 38, his wife, had already been convicted of murder on May 1, 2023. She is serving life in prison without parole.

I wonder what Jaylin Anne did to warrant that punishment?

4. Let’s all say good-bye to Ruth Marcus. She is among the leaders in Ethics Alarms offenses among Washington Post pundits. She has endorsed such anti-democratic notions as compulsory voting (she didn’t like the results of some election); she also concluded the Harvard’s DEI President who had to resign after it was found that she had engaged in academic dishonesty and plagiarism was the victim of racism. Recently I read some pundit claiming that someone was smarter than Elon Musk because he had attended Harvard Law School, and my mind leaped to Marcus immediately: she has degrees from Harvard University, Yale University, and Harvard Law School and has issued some of the dumbest op eds I’ve ever read in my life. Now she is resigning, one more protest against Jeff Bezos’s announcement that he wants the Post opinion page to focus on the free market and personal liberties rather than the crap Marcus’s columns were about.

Marcus, incredibly, was an Associate Editor of the Post as well as a columnist and worked at the paper for four decades. She was one of those Posties who was outraged that Bezos refused to let his paper endorse the worst Presidential candidate the Democrats have ever inflicted on the voting public.

You see, Ruth, in order to resign on principle, you have to have principles. In my many years of reading your predictable, progressive, knee-jerk propaganda, I haven’t detected any.

Good luck in your future endeavors.
