Oh yeah… Those guys

[Previously posted on Google Blogger – https://beelybox.blogspot.com/2025/10/oh-yeah-those-guys.html ]

It’s the night before the next No Kings! protest on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025 and I have a few thoughts before heading out to do my part in upholding and defending the Constitution. Here goes…

Whatever happened to all the January 6 Insurrectionists pardoned by The Orange Turd? They probably couldn’t go back to their jobs at Dairy Queen or the local auto parts store, right? I’m thinking Grump gave them a new purpose and offered them all a decent wage with benefits if they joined his anonymous (more on that later) band of “ICE” agents/pretend law officers and take all their White Power frustrations out on people of color being rounded up in our communities.

(Thanks a lot, Elon and your merry band of tech sociopaths, for doing all this data mining legwork for Grump!)

One thing we notice so readily from all the alt-media/social network coverage of these knucklehead cowards is that they are all hiding their identities with their camouflage “tactical” apparel and the balaclava masks, no name plates, no badges; Just anonymous, brown-people hunting machines. Give Grump’s band of mercenaries a baton, a gun, a tactical belt with all the Nazi-inspired tools of oppression, and these psychopaths are in heaven! Like a Chuckie Cheese Whack-a-Mole pizza party.

So, here are some random thoughts and questions I have about the current fascist tactics with this administration and the MAGA warriors terrorizing our communities:

  • These idiotic White Nationalist “patriots” slip up every once in a while and are captured on citizen videos with full-facial view disclosed: a great opportunity to use the same facial recognition software that J6 Hunters used to identify those traitors. Shouldn’t we focus on the low-hanging fruit, like the big tough guys throwing women to the ground, bashing them against a wall while screaming in the victims’ faces?
  • If you look at the majority of these ICE Klan-members you will notice that most of them (60%? Greater?) are all tubby, white, 30-40 year-old males, who were never within shouting range of a police/federal agent training/proving facility. These tubby traitors could in no conceivable way pass the psychological evaluation or a boot camp-style physical training regimen, so how could they be considered “police”? Is Kristi Noeme saying she thinks so little of trained police that her “patriot” goon squad is the equivalent of real cops?
  • Wouldn’t the administrative offices of ICE, Homeland Security “Police” (HSI) have a payroll list somewhere that could be found and disclosed? These are federal employees we’re talking about here; they’re all drawing a paycheck of some sort. Or is that what all that Grump money set aside for ICE is all about: a cash payroll system that can’t be traced (except for some Google Sheet in the cloud that some moron is using to track these expenditures – that’s definitely how the idiots in this administration would do things).
  • Who’s paying (and how) for the gas for the SUVs and U-Haul Rental trucks? Is there an ICE or HSI real Federal employee administrator with a Federally-funded credit card used to pay for gas and all the garbage snack foods, Monster energy drinks these goons are fueling up on for their next round of beatings and kidnappings?
  • Can’t the U-Haul trucks they’re using (presently in Chicago) be traced to see who’s paying for them, paid cleaning deposits (the folks being beaten and kidnapped might be sick and puking or have to relieve themselves in the U-Haul), etc.?
  • Shouldn’t citizens confront and call out the U-Haul corporation for providing these kidnapping vehicles to these “ICE” agents? Maybe a new advertising campaign:

  “Rent your next moving truck or van from U-Haul - the official supplier of ICE Kidnapping Forces! Vans were thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to protect our Patriot Kidnapping teams’ identities.”

  • Who’s paying for these kidnappers’ meals? Lodging? There must be a record of that somewhere, from an administrator-in-charge with the Department-provided credit card. But you know what? These traitorous psychopaths aren’t getting fed in Chicago or allowed to use restaurants for the restroom facilities – bravo, Chicago!
  • Is there a list of medical personnel servicing these goons when they get a sore muscle or need a ‘Roid Rage’ booster shot to keep their fierce, White Supremacist anger peaking at all times?
  • You wonder if there is a steady supply of Versed injections so these goons are allowed to “forget” their actions and inhuman behavior. Or is there some new, long-term drug inspired by the secret organization (National Research Assay Group (NRAG)) in “The Bourne Legacy”? Kinda joking, but not really.

Consider keeping the momentum going after the protests by visiting NoKings.org and starting by viewing the Indivisible organizing YouTube video:

Violation of Free Speech 2020

[Posted this to NextDoor (11/14/2020) about election signs being stolen from yard]
“Thanks to the person who violated my 1st Amendment right to free speech by stealing BOTH of the Biden-Harris signs from my yard, not in the public easement on Thursday, 11/12/20. (I live on a corner so I had two signs – one for each direction.)

My “Yes on Prop 208” sign and my Mark Kelly for Senate sign were NOT stolen.
How are we going to have a civil transition with this kind of behavior?”

AE Factory Service – Trump Supporter?

Here’s a letter I’m sending to A&E Factory Service about one of their employees – I really question if this employee is following the company’s guidelines regarding political expression.

A&E Executive Solution
1560 Cable Ranch Rd.
Bldg. A
San Antonio, TX 78245

Good Morning,

I am writing with a concern about an A&E Factory Service employee who lives in my neighborhood: This individual has an A&E Factory Service vehicle (#46415) parked in front of their house/driveway, flying “Trump for President” flags from their personal truck and a flag pole attached to their house, and a Trump for President yard sign in front of the house.

I’m writing to clarify if this type of display is in accordance with your company guidelines, if your business promotes this type of political display by contracted workers. I am very concerned that your business actively encourages employees to promote the re-election of Trump. I am concerned that your company has racially biased business practices, has views regarding immigrants, and that A&E Factory Service provides monetary support of Trump and his candidacy for President.

If all of the above is true, of course your company and employees have the right of free speech. I also have the right to boycott your business: I will immediately stop considering doing any business with your firm and will inform others via social media of your company’s stance. I will encourage others to also immediately cease hiring and to boycott A&E Factory Service, to choose other businesses that are at least not so flagrant in their political support of Donald Trump.

Letter to Martha McSally

I am writing to you on the eve of the start of the impeachment proceedings/trial in the Senate against President Trump following his legal impeachment in the U.S. House of Represetatives. I am asking that you stay honest and impartial while listening to the evidence presented against the President recently forwarded by the US House of Representatives.

Retrospect – Candidates 2016

I wrote this back in mid August 2016 in Evernote.

What draws me most to why Donald Trump is the worst choice America can make for our political leader, our figurehead, our primary representative to the world community is his lack of compassion for non-white citizens, his selflishness, and monumentally about not really wanting to make a difference in all American citizens’ lives. I never hear/see any of his words that state how he wants to “make America great again”, just how others, like blacks, Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, feminists of all genders, GLBTQ citizens, the down-trodden and less fortunate, all of these unwanted citizens aren’t really desireable members of his elitist club, the White Man’s club.

But the real question here is what does our current leader, President Obama, and our future President, Hillary Clinton, really say and do to set them apart from Trump? What attitude and spirit do they bring to the table that Trump has never shown?

  • Both Obama and Clinton have spent their adult lives in service to the public – their track records are very clear on how they care for all members of society.
  • Both Obama and Clinton have spent much of their adult lives in service to targeted, less fortunate groups and ultimately everyone in their respective communities.
  • Trump has only been in service to himself, his ego, his empire, his ultimate business goals of power and money – he doesn’t speak of his history of volunteerism or professional life work he’s done to help the less fortunate or social justice causes: Good reason because he’s done neither!

It’s clear he views anything outside the scope of business as a waste of time and energy. Problem is, he’s not that great at business when viewed in the scope of longevity, consistency, continued growth, enabling all members of his business. Prime examples are all instances of his failed businesses, topically the Trump Taj Mahal Casino fiasco: Trump failed in the business venture, screwed employees and contractors out of earned wages, and eventually screwed the state of New Jersey out of the money he owed. In Trump’s eyes it was a win for him – he didn’t take too great a loss, less money out of his bottom line.

The most disturbing aspect of Trump is his lack of empathy, his true lack of compassion – I’d hazard to say (being generous here) that he borders on a moderate degree of sociopathy. His general immaturity and obvious low scores in Emotional Intelligence don’t bode well for a possible leader; Examples:

  • His heartless and cruel ridiculing of a disabled press member this year.
  • His unwarranted and dangerous call for violence against Hillary Clinton.
  • His inciting riots and white-on-black violence at his pre-Convention gatherings.
  • His encouraging crowds to physically abuse protesters and unwanted members of gatherings.
  • His total lack of understanding what a nuclear missile can do, but still wanting to be the bully and scare everyone with the thought that he would consider their use. Clearly, he has no clue that the President doesn’t press a “button” and has a military cabinet that would fight against any such action.

Interesting Learning Techniques

Here are some interesting ideas on how we learn, what keeps us from learning and progressing in a field of study, what kinds of tools we can incorporate in our learning to get beyond the frustration and resistance so many of us experience while learning.

Dr. Barbara Oakley wrote a great article for LinkedIn about her experiences of moving from one field of study, where she used different techniques to learn a foreign language, to a move later in a direction she had never considered – mathematics and engineering. Great article on how she found her way and pushed through, used her “beginner’s mind” to stay open to the possibilities.

Dr. Oakley describes her experiences and teaches an online course through Coursera, Learning How To Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects. I’m going to commit to setting aside time to take this online course. I don’t quite know the costs yet, but there is a certificate of completion that can be posted to LinkedIn profile.
