FURY: SS officer execution. My favorite war movie scene:
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY 2024 VERSION OF HITLER IS TRUMP.
REPUBLICANS HAVE BECOME NAZIS HELL BENT ON UNDOING VE DAY.
All of my male teachers and one female teacher in Coatesville Public Schools were WWII or Korean War combat veterans.
My dad told me the story of the B-17 pilot who flew between the furnace smokestacks of Lukens Steel Company.
As an adult I was corrected. A bomber did fly between the smokestacks of Lukens Steel Company but it was a B-26 flown by a friend of Charles Skip Huston who at the time was working at Lukens Steel. He was not allowed to fly again.
I was born in 1943 about a year before my Uncle Fred landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944.
Uncle Fred is second from right.
He was a combat engineer. SEE Saving Private Ryan. “Bring up the Bangalores.”
My brother Joe Pitcherella was born 5 years earlier. This is Joe in his marching in his Army uniform:
REPUBLICANS:
WE DEFEATED THE NAZIS. DON’T MAKE US DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.
MICHAEL COHEN - "Everybody that goes into his orbit loses everything."
“My concern is that people aren’t paying attention to the facts that we know. Donald is the best showman. He really is. He will keep you captivated on something and while he’s drawing your attention away from something else there’s so much happening in the dark. Melania is his champion of sorts. Don’t take lightly that she hasn’t shown her true colors yet this time around for his campaign. When he needs her she will be there.
But what scares me most is people that say I can’t vote for one side or the other. I just keep saying this is not about left vs. right. It really is about right vs. wrong.
And regardless of how you feel about the politics of it all, knowing again, I have three children. You will aways have the ability to vote again 4 years from now even if you don’t agree with Biden’s policies.
Women’s rights. The ability to make your own choices. We are not Melania Trump. I am a woman who is proud to be who I am. And have learned the hard way what it’s like getting into business and in bed with people like Donald and Melania Trump.
And no good will come of it.
And I wish more people would understand that the more they (Trump & Melania) have on them. The more information they have on people who are willing to bend and do things that they shouldn’t be doing. They will use them and they will throw them under the bus, under the train.
So gear up. Don’t forget who you are dealing with. No one is safe. And I do believe this. And it’s scary for me to say it because I was one of those people who believed that Melania had a heart to go with her face.

Ben Meiselas gets to the bottom of Melania Trump’s disappearance by speaking with her former best friend Stefanie Winston Wolkoff.”
SOME BILLIONARES ARE BACKING TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT. IF HE WINS HE WILL TELL THEM GIVE ME A CUT OF YOUR BUSINESS OR I WILL TAKE ALL OF IT.
MICHAEL COHEN - Everybody that goes into his orbit loses everything.
The extremist views of the Federalist Society blind Republicans on the Supreme Court to reality.
Governments that force state religions on their people do so with violence.
There are more guns than people in the United States.
The reason Madison, Jefferson and other founding fathers kept religion separate from government is that our country was founded by people escaping the extremely violent warfare of competing religions in Europe and Great Britain.
MICHAEL POPAK:
“2 years ago the MAGA right wing of the Supreme Court sent out an invitation to states to tear down the wall separating church and state and to ignore the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment. The result: states like Louisiana forcing that the Judea-Christian 10 Commandments be taught in public schools with taxpayer dollars. Michael Popok explains how we got here and the hypocrisy of the MAGA 6-3 majority.
I thought the January 6, 2021 Republican Party AND right wing domestic terrorism attack on democracy that nearly was successful would wake up political writers to the reality of today’s politics, but:
Apparently there is an impenetrable wall between politics writing and right wing extremism & domestic terrorism. Political writers don't seem to know U.S. politics and domestic terrorism are now intertwined.
The first time I said IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND TODAY’S POLITICS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING RIGHT WING EXTREMIST DOMESTIC TERRORISM was likely in 2001.
Decades later some of the corporate press is catching on but apparently not "Votebeat"
"A far-right group is asking a judge to order Pennsylvania to clean up its voter roll, citing flaws it claims to have found in voter registration data as evidence that the state is violating federal law.
The group’s claims, however, appear to contradict facts about how the state’s voting systems work, reflecting what one election expert suggested is a “gross misunderstanding of election law.” Much of the information in the suit comes from groups with histories of making false claims about the state’s voter rolls, and the suit includes at least one easily disproved claim.
The lawsuit is part of a broader strategy that the lead plaintiff, United Sovereign Americans, has acknowledged: to challenge voter rolls across the country, in separate federal court jurisdictions, to force the issue up to the U.S. Supreme Court in time to affect the 2024 general election. The group filed a similar suit in Maryland that was dismissed in May because the plaintiffs didn’t have legal grounds to sue.
It is unclear if the Pennsylvania suit will face the same fate, but the group has gotten a high-profile local attorney, Bruce Castor, to file the case on its behalf. Castor served as acting attorney general of Pennsylvania in 2016 and represented former President Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial in 2021.
The Pennsylvania Department of State, which is the primary defendant in the case, denounced the suit as another effort to falsely malign the state’s elections.
“A review shows it to be a frivolous action alleging, without any supporting facts or viable legal theories, a panoply of conspiracy claims advanced by litigants who have repeatedly filed baseless actions rejected by the courts,” said department press secretary Matt Heckel. “Undeterred, these litigants and their counsel continue to waste taxpayer money. The Department will respond accordingly.”
Lawsuit claims the state is violating federal law on voting system accuracy. But experts say the argument is a stretch, and based on a false premise.

THE KEYWORD IS SOVEREIGN
WIKIPEDIA - “The sovereign citizen movement (also SovCit movement or SovCits)[1] is a loose group of anti-government activists, litigants, tax protesters, financial scammers, and conspiracy theorists based mainly in the United States. Sovereign citizens have their own pseudolegal belief system based on misinterpretations of common law and claim to not be subject to any government statutes unless they consent to them.”
Sovereigns usually tie up their opponents with frivolous lawsuits. Sometimes they kill:
IF YOU WORK IN OR REPORT ON POLITICS CATCH UP TO REALITY WITH THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER’S:
This is a good article for political writers who are novices in right wing extremism:
“Over the past two decades, NAR’s influence has broadened beyond church walls, pouring out this form of Christian supremacy into the mainstream, already wreaking havoc on local communities and our democracy. Their influence is real; not only did they have a voice in the Trump administration, but the new speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, is closely aligned with NAR leaders. The goal of this new dominionism is to disrupt both more mainline versions of Christianity and U.S. democracy, and in its wake, take control of state and society and yoke everyone to their authoritarian vision of the world.”
Lauren Boebert went on Steve Bannon's podcast shortly before he has to report to federal prison, and complained about declining morals in this country.
Boebert, who was kicked out of a theater full of children while groping and being groped by her date, then gave security the middle finger on the way out, said that she would welcome Colorado following Louisiana's lead by requiring the 10 Commandments to be posted in school classrooms:
"This is something we need all throughout our nation ... because we need morals back in our nation, back in our schools. If there's anything we are going to present in front of our children, it should be the word of God. Because this is the one truth that is never going to change and never going to leave them. This isn't some woke fad of the day that you can get cancelled for believing in 10 years from now."
She then had something to say about adultery, despite worshipping serial adulterer Donald Trump:
"I don't think it's bad to teach children that adultery is something you should not do.”
“This man, destined to eternal night, who during this hour endured crucifixion on pitiless Calvary, who suffered in body and soul; one of the most wretched from among this crowd of broken heroes: this man’s eyes shall be opened! Calm shall be restored to his convulsed features. In the ecstasy that is only granted to the dying seer, his dead eyes shall be filled with new light, new splendor, new life!'- Victor von Koerber, ghost written by Adolf Hitler"
Does this look like DEMOCRAT'S RELATIONSHIP to the REPUBLICAN PARTY SWALLOWED BY CRIME BOSS TRUMP?
“Reared in a belief in gradual reform and doing deals with opponents moderate Social Democrats in Bavaria simply did not know how to capitalize on the sudden onset of political turmoil in November 1918.”
Donald Trump has shared an eerie video on the eve of the Iowa caucuses in which he appears to proclaim himself God’s chosen emissary on earth, sent to deliver America back to prosperity.
The three-minute clip, posted to Truth Social on Sunday evening, opens on grainy footage of an LP turning on a record player, broadcasting an apparently ancient “sermon” in which the speaker intones: “And on 14 June 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said: ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God gave us Trump…”
HITLER
“This man, destined to eternal night, who during this hour endured crucifixion on pitiless Calvary, who suffered in body and soul; one of the most wretched from among this crowd of broken heroes: this man’s eyes shall be opened! Calm shall be restored to his convulsed features. In the ecstasy that is only granted to the dying seer, his dead eyes shall be filled with new light, new splendor, new life!”- Victor von Koerber, ghost written by Adolf Hitler"
Given that he wrote this stuff, Hitler’s need to pretend to be a mere “drummer” is simple: He had to square the circle. On the one hand, he desired to put himself in a position to head a national revolution. On the other hand, Germany’s conservatives had their own political ambitions. Hitler could only advance by pretending that he would be their tool, while attempting to create the impression that his support among them was already larger than it really was….”
When confronted with emerging demagogues, in moments when people yearn for strongmen and novel kinds of leaders, history thus cannot tell us until it is too late whether an individual is a Hitler, a Franco, a Lenin—or, for instance, a populist who, while flirting with authoritarianism, ultimately manages to withstand its seduction.
Victor von Koerber eventually learned the hard way that the person he had imagined Hitler to be when lending his name to him was a very different man from the one who would rule Germany. He grew disillusioned with Hitler in the mid-1920s after seeing how he presented himself once his trial (in the wake of his failed putsch) had finally transformed him into a public figure.
In the late 1920s, Koerber began issuing warnings about the dangers Hitler posed to the world. But by then, it was already too late to stop him. Once the Nazi Party was in power, Koerber helped a prominent German Jew to get out of the country. And then Koerber began to feed the British military attaché in Berlin with intelligence. Koerber ultimately landed in one of Hitler’s concentration camps, which he barely survived.”
