Absolute Insanity

October 9, 2026

Just a few weeks ago, Congress passed a law imposing further sanctions on Russia for its war on Ukraine. Today, completely counter to that law, President A.I. announced a deal in which Russia will make diesel fuel available to the U.S. and other countries. From early reports that I’ve read, the quantities to be released will be little more than a drop in the bucket of the global market. Also, because of Ukraine’s attacks on Russian refineries, Russia itself is facing a shortage of diesel fuel. The Traitor‑in‑Chief, of course, claims that because of this deal, “Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST!” Sure, Jan.

Yesterday, Perverted Pete announced that the execution by firing squad of an Army psychiatrist who committed a mass murder will be streamed live to the public. And he calls himself a Christian. I would like to think that no streaming service would agree to cover this, but I’m sure there are some that will think it’s a good idea. This is just depraved. I thought we had moved beyond such barbarity. We condemn other countries for doing this. It’s long past time for us to ban capital punishment altogether.

Also, yesterday, in Washington, D.C., National Guard troops were filmed standing directly in front of a ballot drop box. This is illegal.

If you are eligible and registered, and you know that your registration is up to date, no one may bully, intimidate, or in any other way try to prevent you from voting. If you are concerned about going to your polling place by yourself, make plans to go with a neighbor. If you plan to vote early, go with a friend, family member, neighbor, coworker, or fellow student.

You have a constitutional right to vote, and no one may deny you the free exercise of that right. We really really need you to help stop the madness. VOTE!
