Just some random thoughts [1] ['News Corpse'] Date: 2026-05-26 Democrats are going up against billionaire, dark money. Those billionaires have more wealth to spend on the election between a very few of them, than the rest of Americans combined, yet they are asking for our drop in the election war bucket. I don’t see the DNC putting up candidates in each state, but I am already being bombarded with GOP ads and it seems there aren’t any reprisals. Even if we gave our last penny and our last breath, it wouldn’t amount to their wealth. Already our voices (dollars) are out numbered. No, the GOP has no need to beg for “grassroots” money, they already have enough to bombard the masses with propaganda. Democrats cannot depend on “grassroots” money to actually win, there isn’t enough money left in the people and right now, the GOP is grabbing as much of that as they can and the Democrats want their cut from the rest of the money the “grass roots” have while everyone is profiteering from the crappy economy. Sure, make gas $100.00 a gallon and see how many cars you can sell “for profit”, make gas $100.00 a gallon and see how much food the farms produce. This is insane thinking, indeed, how much more proof do you need?! The only thing remaining between the Democrats and the Republicans is one wants to govern and the other wants to rule, they both are going for our money, courtesy of the supreme court and its billionaire rulings such as the Citizens United decision, there is no longer any choice, we HAVE to GIVE them all of the money. Then they just lie and do what they want, with no concern for the people that the billionaires lives depend on. They don’t realize that what befalls all of us will befall them as well, you can’t eat money. We have no democracy left, we are just a decade away from famine and the damage already done by this administration and their uncontrolled 4 year old that can ruin anything he touches, kind of like King Midas, but in reverse, will take decades of work for the world to recover. It’s not about democracy anymore, it’s about the world’s state of affairs that 47 seems hell bent on burning the planet every way he can dream up, (hide the codes, quick!) Want to reduce the crime in America? Start in the White House and all three branches of government, then go to the corporations with a close look at CEOs and follow that to their billionaire backers. It’s not just the United States that has this problem, it is world-wide, dictators are never leaders and it will take all of us to stop them. It’s a huge task and we need our trustable DOJ lawyers and judges to prosecute the crimes and local, city, state and federal law enforcement to be on the peoples side, I sure my brothers and sisters at arms will do the right thing when it finally comes and it will. Off topic but something I want to mark. It’s a weather report that shows conditions at Schutte Lake, Saskatchewan May 10, 2026 Drone Fly By , this is a week before my 73rd birthday and a sample of the clear skies I’ve been enjoying. If you have four minutes, it’s beautiful! Stephen Colbert’s final show, made me cry, here it is if you missed it. A Reciprocal Emotional Relationship – Colbert’s Series Finale Begins With A Message For His Audience Well, I found a picture and got it on the page, another fine achievement in a confusing mess, just can’t get the formatting the way I would like it to look. I haven’t set up my phone to upload pictures somewhere to DK, if I did, where could I find them? So, I’m done messing with this for now, I’ll make another try later on, I just can’t promise to keep this time slot filled every week!
