I wore this blazer last week and found the outfit too conservative for my current tastes. Always striving to improve, I imagined pairings that would suit my tastes and quickly landed on the hotpants I’d worn earlier in the week.

Blazer, Love Tree. Shirt, Old Navy. Shorts, San Souci. Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Lauren Ralph Lauren. Earrings, Pangaea. Bag, thrifted.

Market Street, Tavistock, Devon

Donald Trump keeps topping himself. On Tuesday, while Vladimir Putin was putting his final touches on his invasion of Ukraine, the former Narcissist-in-Chief praised the Russian autocrat. Trump told Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on their conservative podcast, “I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of Ukraine—Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.”

In a predictable move he often uses when receiving pushback for his remarks, a few days later, Trump took one step back from his full-scale admiration of Putin and two steps forward. Calling the Russian President’s invasion of Ukraine “ruthless,” he then said, “The problem isn’t that Putin is smart. Of course, he’s smart. But the real problem is our leaders are dumb.”

He declared Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if he were still president. And, in part, this may be true, but not for the reasons Trump believes. It’s thought that Putin thought Trump was too unpredictable. Donald also seemed ignorant of all the missteps his administration took with the region, including encouraging President Zelensky to ignore talks with the breakaway areas of Ukraine, Donetsk and Luhansk, as the Minsk Agreement (which diplomats created to de-escalate tensions in the region) required. Instead, as reported by the anti-war group, CodePink: “Trump began sending weapons to Ukraine... as if Ukraine could recover its lost territories by force.” So, instead of promoting détente, Trump raised tensions.

Once again, when people’s lives are at stake, Donald Trump couldn’t care less about the citizens of Ukraine—just like he didn’t care about Americans dying of COVID during his time in office.

Trump loves Putin. He served as an example of personal opportunities here at home: power, control, and personal wealth. As Mother Jones reported, Trump was grateful for Russia’s disinformation campaign in our 2016 elections. To him, Putin represented all Trump wanted to be: an authoritarian who amassed a fortune through his political prowess, unquestioned, and feared (and the Republican Party continues to be eager to oblige this twice-impeached president). In fact, he couldn’t stop saying nice things about the dictator.

In 2013, during Trump’s Miss Universe pageant held in Moscow, he was very interested in building another Trump Tower there. But to do so, he needed the blessings of Putin. That fell through when Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. Yet in 2015, while he was running for president (and unbeknownst to American voters), Trump once again wanted to build a tower in the Russian capital, making him hundreds of millions of dollars.

The lovefest continues. He spent his four years as President acting like a repressive authoritarian. And, even after being forced out of office, he continues to put his love of Putin ahead of democracy. His values have never represented the pillars our founders created for our country. And his allegiances don't either. As a former American President, that isn’t just heresy, it’s treachery.

Mostly Hating Tories

What shall I do on this fine day?

There’s so much on my list

A mix of work and rest and play

I’m sure you get my gist

And maybe I’ll compose a rhyme –

But my unwritten law is

That every day I’ll spend my time

Mostly hating Tories.

I’ll go to work, some bills I’ll pay

That’s if I’m feeling rash,

To see her through to payment day

I’ll lend my friend some cash,

I’ll probably make my kids some tea

And read them bedtime stories

Of homeless piggies one, two, three

And why they hate the Tories.

I’ll hate them for the bedroom tax

I’ll hate them for the cuts,

For living off the workers’ backs

I’ll hate their very guts,

Look, see the depths to which they’ll sink,

They don’t know where the floor is,

That’s why I’ll spend my day, I think,

Mostly hating Tories.

What’s that you say? That hate’s not nice?

Please love thine enemy?

Well yeah, I tried that once or twice

It doesn’t work for me,

And if you think that’s not fair play

Remember this, you must:

The Tories, they will spend their day

Mostly hating us.

A history of evil done

Will justify my hate,

I still detest the Tory scum

For Section Twenty Eight,

Nye Bevan built the NHS

So he knows what the score is:

And he said vermin come out best

Compared with bloody Tories.

I’m sure I’ll find time to revile

That UKIP and its drivel

And I’ll locate a little while

To loathe a lonesome Liberal,

I’ll maybe pause to show regret

For Labour’s missing glories

But save the fiercest fury yet

For mostly hating Tories.

For generations and hereon

Our class and those before us

Grew up to know which side we’re on:

The side that’s not the Tories,

So when I die, do this for me –

Inscribe and sing in chorus

Here lies Janine, her life spent she

Mostly hating Tories.

Conservative Party HQ Lunchtime Menu

Deprived shrimps

Money-glazed smirked ham

Scorn fritters

*

Battered electorate,

with a basket of crushed hopes

and slow-cooked fatigue

Half-baked notions,

idling on a soft bed of privilege,

served with a thick faux pas sauce

Kids in blankets,

deep-famished, with a deprivation of vegetables

and a relish reduction

Toads in the hole,

with golden hand-outs in a thick rich gravy

(self-serving only)

Conservative Woman On The Nude Beach.

It was a day she wont likely ever forget,

A day when she went out of her character,

and went to a nude beach,

what would her co- workers think,

if they saw her now?

She is always so professional,

but today she let her hair down,

and went not just to the beach,

but the forbidden one at that,

at least in the minds of her inner circle of friends are concerned,

don't worry,

she will be back in charge of the office tomorrow.

All be it,

with a more colorful look,

more bounce in her steps as well,

she smiles around,

nods her head,

like nothing special really happened,

on this beautiful Sunday afternoon,

A day when the conservative woman,

dare I say,

was once a free spirit.

Even if it was just for a day.

Steve.D.Hammond.

A least she lost the cigarette.

A NOTE ON THIS PICTURE: This picture appeared alongside an article in which the author made a case against people across the political spectrum incorrectly using the term Nazi to identify one's political ideology. The correct analogy would be to equate Obama's policies with those of the National Socialist Party.

Do I believe that Obama is a Nazi? No, that is ludicrous, but the article was a hard-hitting critique of the controversy surrounding people slinging the term Nazi around these days, hence the photo was appropriate. If it offends you, look away.

Thanks for reading.

Dating from about 1902, The Conservative Office (publishers since 1865) occupies a one-story brick building with a symmetrical decorative brick parapet, which appears to need some repair work. The lower floor is also symmetrical with display windows (2/2) flanking a recessed entrance. The entry is set in a cast iron frame. A metal awning supported by wood brackets overhangs the sidewalk. The tall pale blue building to the left of the store is the old jail. The Conservative Office is part of the Carrollton Historic District, listed (Nov 27, 1978) on the National Register of Historic Places, #78001590. Carrollton, the county seat of Carroll County, Mississippi had a population of 190 in the 2010 census. For a small county seat, the number of architecturally rewarding structures is enormous.

In a demonstration called by Health Campaigns Together and The People's Assembly, London saw around 200,000 people march against underfunding, closures and privatisation of the National Health Service. Doctors, nurses and other health providers were joined by union members and people of all backgrounds and ages to demand the Conservative government stop dismantling this popular service.
