As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “People Against War,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“If there is even one homeless child in America, we have no room for illegal aliens a $700B military budget“

My Commentary: Repeat after me: hating taxes is all about “hating the poor.” Meanwhile, slavishly acquiescing to a State-run extortion racket that, above all else, finances the imperialistic and racist “war on terror,” and the tyrannical and racist “war on drugs” is “progressive,” and “humanitarian.” Skillz!

(Andrea Germanos) Noted consumer advocate and author Ralph Nader on Friday offered a sharp retort to Laura Bush and Michelle Obama in response to the former first ladies levied criticism at the Trump administration’s cruel immigration policy that separated immigrant children from their families.

“Would be nice if Laura Bush and Michelle Obama had expressed similar heartfelt concern for the tens of thousands of children killed or seriously maimed by the wars of their husbands in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere,” he tweeted.

My Commentary: Because virtue signaling isn’t about moral consistency, or justice… It’s about public displays of manufactured outrage.

As I scrolled through my Facebook memories, I discovered the following link, which I originally posted to my own wall in August of 2016, and decidedly re-shared it, while adding a commentary…

Our Greatest National Security Threat? Perpetual War:
https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/08/12/our-greatest-national-security-threat-perpetual-war

(William Astore) The United States is now engaged in perpetual war with victory nowhere in sight.  Iraq is chaotic and scarred. So, too, is Libya. Syria barely exists. After 15 years, “progress” in Afghanistan has proven eminently reversible as efforts to rollback recent Taliban gainscontinue to falter. The Islamic State may be fracturing, but its various franchises are finding new and horrifying ways to replicate themselves and lash out. Having spent trillions of dollars on war with such sorry results, it’s a wonder that key figures in the U.S. military or officials in any other part of America’s colossal national security state and the military-industrial complex (“the Complex” for short) haven’t spoken out forcefully and critically about the disasters on their watch.

My Commentary: Not exactly rocket science, and yet, it still remains an ever-elusive concept to most, somehow…

“Liberals crying about not feeling safe literally just cast their ballot for a candidate who advocated sending them to war with Russia.”

Rayn: Many seemed to think they were just going to be cheerleading their way into and through WWIII…
