Are you one of the "lesser breeds"?
Or are you one of the "greater breeds"? Tough luck, if you had both in your family. Because "Parents (may be) separated, perhaps forever, from their children", writes Chris Hedges in his essay:
The Return of American Race Laws - Posted on Feb 26, 2017 - By Chris Hedges
If you want to read it ... He says nothing that you didn't know, but you were not ready to think through and put it in your own clear words, right? Because no sane person could enjoy it. So, I don't blame you, if you ... just don't think about it ...I know it's too much headaches.
White Europeans who are undocumented are not being targeted. The executive orders of President Trump are directed against people of color. They begin from the premise that white Americans are the true victims of neoliberalism, deindustrialization and falling living standards. The Trump orders are written not to make America great again but to make America white. They are an updated version of the Nazis’ Nuremberg race laws, the Jim Crow laws, the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Naturalization Act of 1870. They are intended to institutionalize an overt racial hierarchy in the United States, one already advanced by the miniature police states in which marginal communities of color find themselves. In these impoverished enclaves there is no right to trial or due process. Militarized police kill with impunity, and the courts lock people away often for life. Rights are treated as privileges that can instantly be revoked. The poor, especially poor people of color, have been exempted from moral consideration. They are viewed as impediments to social cohesion. And these impediments must be eliminated. This is the template for what will come. Jews—their community centers under threats of violence and their graveyards being desecrated—will be persecuted. American fascism will be cemented into place by uniformed and heavily armed paramilitary squads clutching the flag and the cross and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer.
There is more great stuff in the essay that will make you a greater thinker. Listen to Bannon's warning. Take it in. You will regret if you haven't.
"There is a major war brewing, a war that’s already global,” Bannon said. “It’s going global in scale, and today’s technology, today’s media, today’s access to weapons of mass destruction, it’s going to lead to a global conflict that I believe has to be confronted today. Every day that we refuse to look at this as what it is, and the scale of it, and really the viciousness of it, will be a day where you will rue that we didn’t act.”
Oh yeah, what a great guy that Bannon is. My hero. White knight fighting the lesser breeds. Thank You. /s - Oh, no shit.
Ok, I am going to sleep another round. May be when I wake up again, Bannon will be the least breed. If there are lesser breeds, there must be a least breed. I can be a dreamer.

Interesting to see in the news one morning
a photo of the Statue of Liberty with the torch covered in mourning cloth.
The site ate my comment, a lament
but I will not attempt to recall it. This is really bad, I am wounded and will not catch up to whenever spring finally does appear. Broken foot (still) and now a ligament tear, so I get to have a screw inserted into my foot. Non-weight-bearing does not functionally work in this house. 5 half-staircases. At least I do not have to drive a clutch. Daughter getting NP will be my interventionist or medical translator today at orthopedist. I can't think clearly. A walker for main level with kitchen, but no toilet, lower level with toilet and computer and no kitchen. Bedroom two half-levels up with a new mattress still in box. Cleaning ladies coming Tuesday. Lord knows what they will charge, embarrassing dirty house, can't move vacuum cleaners around. Dog is doing side-eyes. I am an orphan at 63. Historically, we do not give birth until 33, if then. Three generations. Daughter may complete to 4. Over 100 years, cool. She did donate 21 eggs to some family, so I may have grandchildren before her own, in August. She would be 29 then. And informed of a live birth.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Hold on riverlover
See if the cleaning people can move the mattress to where you can rest on it, with bedding, and dig out some containers for bathroom nitrogen and other stuff that you can keep nearby for a bit, then ask someone to lend a hand with. Do some online searching for what it makes sense for you to eat, maybe ask for advice on getting food in or regular short drop-bys if the people you meet seem sane. Any chance the dog could be kindly dogsat? Remember you have fifteen or twenty more years to go!
And I really miss my comments too.
Hi riverlover, accept the help from your cleaning lady to move
your furniture.
I hear you and am reminded about similar situations with my family members. I really would get some help to rearrange your living quarters. Try to move your bedroom (or at least a nook with the mattress in the box) to the level where your ktichen is. Even if you don't have a toilet on that level, it's easier to get something done about that, If you can afford it. There is also a lot of disposable stuff that you can keep close to where you sleep, or sit during the day or close to the kitchen. Move the computer too to the same level of your kitchen. People, where I am right now, have often one of these to move around.
Avoid the stairs and try to live on one level only, if at all possible. I hope you get a helping hand with all of it and wish your bones will heal well. All the best.

If you must use the demon stairs:
Always lead with the "good" foot going up the stairs with two steps per level. Always lead with the "bad" foot going down the stairs with two steps per level.
I would stop by and rearrange your furniture to ease your pain were it not for the fact that I am, at this time, on the other side of the continent.
I really like Chris Hedges,
I think he is one of the few people that can articulate what the hell is really happening. All these trump supporters talk about / cry, about "others" needing to go home to where they came from, the irony that they themselves (white people) are immigrants from Europe, just zips past them.
White people in America are the original undocumented / illegal immigrants....but hey we're "exceptional" right?....

yes, I think so too, he is a tough thinker and
and is clear to the point without ever dumbing down the reader or the issue. And I like all the books titles he squeezes into his essays. I remember him once joking with someone about their mutual competition of who reads more books the fastest. One has to be a winner in something...
Nice to see your own blog. I bookmarked it and intend to pass by occasionally. I have to get used to read US based stuff from Europe. I still can't get used to The different time zone and to see the same issues written about everywhere all day long, makes me ... a little bitchy at times.

Personally, I'm hoping that Bannon
dies from cirrhosis. I have no problem wishing someone like that dead.

... May be when I wake up
He shouldn't be breeding at all!
Seriously, is this all going to rest as a 'done deal' or will the American people and American law courts make it all sane again? At least, as much so as can be hoped?
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
