Vermin Supreme Again Seeks Presidency

Vermin Supreme Again Seeks Presidency

By Bob Small

Who and Why is Vermin Supreme?

Following the 2024 Lesser-Known Candidate Debate, one comes across a Vermin Supreme.

Why hadn’t one heard of him before, especially since he is in his ninth election for President, albeit never for a major Party.   He is an intentionally “satirical Candidate.” But didn’t someone else run nine times for President, and wasn’t Harold Stassen elected three times as governor of Minnesota, and  wasn’t he almost the Presidential Candidate in 1948, where he might have taken on Harry S. Truman?

The last election Harold Stassen ran in was 1992, as was the first year Vermin Supreme ran, in a case of almost-synchronicity.

Supreme is known for a lot of issues but is best known for his 2017 “right to pony” demonstration in front of a bookstore which was promoting the Hillary Clinton tome What Happened  

This aligns with his campaign promises of “a free pony for every American”. In 2016 he accused Chris Christie of “hating ponies”.  He has been documented in the 2014 documentary  Who is Vermin Supreme, An Outsider Odyssey”.  Who Is Vermin Supreme? An Outsider Odyssey (2014)  and  included in five other films.

On a more serious note, in 2006 he donated one of his kidneys to his mother, suffering from renal failure.  Born in Massachusetts, he began his career as an anti-nuke activist. He was initially a booking agent for underground music clubs, after dropping out of the Maryland Institute of Art. 

Vermin Supreme sometimes wears an overturned boot on his head, among other outre outfits.

Regarding his alias he says “Let me point out that all politicians are, in fact, vermin. I am the Vermin Supreme, therefore I am without question, the most qualified candidate in this race, at this time.” … “Of course as a politician, I shall lie to you, because I am a politician, and I have no reason not to.”

He has a clear understanding of the first amendment;  Introducing the next president of the universe, Vermin …

“But my take on it is the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees us the right to peaceably assemble and use our free speech to petition our government for the redress of our grievances.”

After this, we’ll return to all the candidates who don’t know they’re satirical.

Another War in America

Another War in America

By Bob Small

Trust Vermont Scott to email me a story I cannot ignore!

Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, pleaded guilty to the fire bombing of a pro-life center in Wisconsin and now faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison.

Roychowdhury belongs to the group Jane’s Revenge.

Graffiti had also been sprayed on the building’s side saying “ If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either.” 

Historically, Milwaukee had the single deadliest bombing in our history, prior to 9/11. This occurred on Nov. 24, 1917.

This was also anarchist-related.  

At this point, let’s walk into the thicket of anarchist thought;

 Philly Antifa – This blog is for all things Antifascist and is …

Quoting their own words under ABOUT PHILLY ANTIFA

“Philly Antifa are an independent Anti-Fascist crew operating in Philadelphia, PA and the surrounding area.  We are in direct conflict with Racism, Homophobia, Sexism, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Transphobia, and all the various other flavors of Fascism.

Philly Antifa are anti-authoritarians and anti-nationalist”

It’s been two weeks since they were emailed about the firebombing. They’ve yet to reply but one imagines they’re busy.

Let’s  look at Jersey Counter-Info’s definitions. Scroll to the What is Anarchism section.

To save you from reading the 17 sections, let’s quote from the “direct action” part:  In its original anarchist meaning, the term refers to any action undertaken without the permission, and outside the interest of, governmental institutions.

Are they peaceful? Let’s look in the Tactics section;  “Non-violence is not an anarchist principle; it is a tactic”.  Bombing can also be a tactic.

Returning to Milwaukee, see What is Antifa? Five Milwaukeeans Explain the Meaning of … where “Lena” explains that Antifa opposes contemporary iterations of fascism like white supremacist groups, ICE detention centers, the destruction of indigenous lands, and all institutions which enforce systemic racism and violence,”

At the time of this article, the FBI was investigating 10 instances of arson and vandalism at anti-abortion pregnancy centers around the country.  In 2021 abortion providers reported 123 assault and battery incidents, 16 invasions, 9 bomb threats, 13 burglaries and etc, by various individuzls and groups.

Both sides believe they have “God on their side”

Put another way, both sides believe; this is 1859

Deja Vu All Over Again

Deja Vu all over again

By Bob Small

We saw this on the Fox 29 news Return of Temporary Masking in Patient Care Areas Across .

And like Yogi Berra said  “it’s deja vu all over again.” The affected health centers include Bryn Mawr, Lankenau, and Riddle Hospitals along with the Main Line Health Centers, in short, most of Delco.

Ron  DeSantis, who I don’t always agree with, had it right on this.

So how do we fight the mandates this time?  Well, knowledge is power.

At the recent Children’s Defense Fund Conference in Savannah I saw a few films and learned about a few more.  Some of us are more at ease with watching films than reading.  

The following is what I call the CHD Film Fest: (note, others to follow)

Vaxxed (2016) and Vaxxed II” The People’s Truth (2019) are both films about, shall we say, “inconvenient truths”. Vaxxed II was screened for us at the aforementioned CHD conference.

The three-series documentary, Plandemic came out in 2020.

Let me quote from IMDB user reviews on this

You may be aware that everyone including Facebook, YouTube, etc immediately banned these videos. Yet you can find hundreds of videos talking about the misinformation and danger of this video. Everything I could look up on the internet was unequivocally negative about this pandemic video  said chadgertler who urged all to watch it.

Later on stephen-93875  mentioned When you see and hear Bill Gates admit that investing in vaccines was the best investment he ever made turning $10 billion into $200 billion, his stating that everyone on the planet needs to be vaccinated is anything but a humanitarian gesture, said stephen-93875

Another film about the issue is The Big Picture: Life Inside the Control Grid

There’s a two-day live event, in Richmond, Va. later this month

Deja Vu all over again

Democrats Running With Ridley Park Tax Explosion

Democrats Running With Ridley Park Tax Explosion

By Bob Small

As is our usual, we turned on Philly’s Fox 29 News, Dec. 28,  to get updated on the usual accidents, carjackings, robberies, and shootings in Delco, Philly, and Jersey.

However, the lead story took place at one of our neighboring, Ridley Park and it was from the borough council meeting.

It concerned the 17 percent tax hike required because money owed by Taylor Hospital were not being paid by it new owner, Prospect Medical Holdings.

This has has left a swath of destruction.

Ridley Park is known for being the home of Boeing Helicopter, and has a business district with many small businesses, a local High School and Library,. Like Swarthmore, it’s named after a place in England.  It’s solidly middle-class, a Swarthmore without the upperclass pretensions.

The Ridley Park Dems are making a big deal about this.

They said on Facebook, Dec. 27, Tomorrow the all Republican Borough Council will vote on a historic property tax increase for the residents of our Borough. This increase will purportedly cover 2 YEARS of Prospect Medical’s property tax bill.  Yes, they are asking you to pay Prospect’s bill in 2024, JUST IN CASE this private equity firm doesn’t. 

But here are the facts:

❌ the 2021 audit showed a DEFICIT of $507k. That is with Prospect Medical paying their property tax bill.

❌ the 2022 audit hasn’t been released yet even though it was due 4/1/2023

❌ For a list of other expenses from 2023 that contributed to this budget deficit, see the final attached budget that will be approved for 2024: https://ridleyparkborough.org/…/Final-Budget-2024-12.27

The Ridley Park Republican Party is talking about Christmas decorating contests.

As I said with regard to Swarthmore, any time one party is in charge there is going to be things like this happening.

.

Democrats Running With Ridley Park Tax Explosion
When you Google Ridley Park Republican Party — as we just did at 11:13 a.m., Jan. 1, 2024 — this is what you get. The GOP in Delco better start recruiting people who understand social media and this new-fangled internet thingy. Or maybe they should just stop being complacent and lazy

The Parallel Election Left Me Gobsmacked

The Parallel Election Left Me Gobsmacked

By Bob Small

Mostly I read the Delco Times, Jewish Currents, and National Geographic and a smattering of articles, other magazines, the internet, and poems, but usually don’t invest my time in a book.

The Parallel Election by Leah Hoopes and Gregory Stenstrom is the only book I’ve read this year. 

However, after buying a copy from Leah at the 2023 Bill of Rights Banquet, ostensibly for a friend, I decided to at least start the book. Four hundred pages later, I realized how extensive the level of fraud was in 2020.  I was truly gobsmacked.

Now in one of my  my previous lifetimes, volunteering for the Greens, Independent, and Libertarian candidates, we knew the Democrats and Republicans would fight every signature to keep us off the ballot.  They would use every means, financial and legal and— If we finally made it on the ballot, we had exhausted all our financial and volunteer resources and could not win, except for occasional Judge of Election races, but nothing that could change the dynamics of uniparty rule. Period, end of sentence, as they used to say in South Philly.

But this book reveals a whole new level of cheating, shall we say the “Super Bowl of Cheating”. Much better than either Northeast or South Philly, where the dead continued to vote, but only for “the right Party.”  This was the attack of the “Uniparty”, both Democrat and Republican.

The evidence here was shocking.  Yet the evidence couldn’t be presented nor the results definitively challenged.

How is our system different from a totalitarian regime?

Consider an example of cheating in a non political world. 

That happens, too.

 The Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2017 World Series through a unique sign-stealing plan.  Major League Baseball finally (January 2020) confirmed this even though the record books still list the Houston Astros as the winners in the 2017 World Series.  Steps were taken to prevent this happening again and, presumably, are effective.

Let me end this, not with an answer, but with a question.

Having said all that, how do we approach changing the rules of the 2024 Primaries as opposed to changing the results of the 2020 Election?

Tiger King Runs for President

Tiger King Runs for President

By Bob Small

Can a convicted felon run for president? Well, the New York Times says yes, regarding a possible conviction of Donald Trump, so that answer would apply to Joseph Allen Maldonado (ne Schreibvogel), aka Joe Exotic.

These come from Maldonado’s 24-issue platform, presented as answers to questions that were sent to him.

On gun control: “I believe you have the right to carry a gun and protect yourself, but you can do that with a revolver. You don’t need an assault rifle to protect yourself

On felons: “I agree with you totally, that non-violent felons should be able to vote anywhere in America.”

On the LGBTQ community: “What the LGBTQ community has done to the progress we made for this new generation has destroyed our work by pushing the gay lifestyle in people’s faces.”

On homelessness: “But there should be housing for, like, six months, to give every homeless person a chance to get cleaned up, get a job and get on their feet.”

His biography is too complicated to summarize easily.  However, I hear that a 12-episode Netflix series captures most of the main points. Tiger King (TV Series 2020–2021)  Tiger King explained: Meet Joe Exotic, the latest Netflix star

In brief — after coming out as gay and  being estranged from his family, Maldonado attempted suicide. He moved to Florida for salt-water therapy and found himself working with animals, and then he opened a pet store with his brother Garold, who was killed in 1997 by a drunk driver. Maldonado and his then-husband Brian managed the Garold Wayne Memorial Animal Park in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, which he started with his parents. Brian passed away in 2002.

After that, Maldonado became known as the “Tiger King”. 

Though he’s currently serving a 21-year sentence on 17 different federal charges, there have been various appeals, one of them based on recanting of testimony by a known fraudster, one James Garretson.

Ziegler And Leah And Greg Explain America’s Corruption Crisis At Bill Of Rights Banquet

Ziegler And Leah And Greg Explain America’s Corruption Crisis At Bill Of Rights Banquet

By Bob Small

This year’s crowd at the Bill of Rights Banquet was the largest we’ve seen with about 200 from several states and and of all ages.

“I was greatly encouraged by the large attendance — about twice as many as any Bill of Rights Banquet in the last two decade,” Upland Mayor Bill Dennon, told me. 

The banquet, Dec. 15, at  Yoder’s Restaurant in New Holland, Pa., is presented by the Bill of Rights Bicentennial Committee led by Carris and Eric Kocher, and has been going on since 1991.

The Bill of Rights was adopted on Dec. 15, 1791.

Speakers were former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler who created a definitely detailed report of the crimes revealed on Hunter Biden’s laptop; and Gregory Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes the authors of The Parallel Election: A Blueprint for Deception.

Stenstrom is also co-founder of Patriot.Online, a growing social media site.

Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes led off describing how correct procedures were not followed in the 2020 election in Delaware County, Pa..  As their book explains, and as many of us long-term residents expect, this is not a Democrat or Republican issue, but a current government issue.

This left me wondering is how do we correct this problem for 2024 so every vote is counted?

Ziegler And Leah And Greg Explain America's Corruption Crisis At Bill Of Rights Banquet
Garrett Ziegler at the podium

Ziegler, who travelled from his home in Illinois, described his investigations into Hunter’s laptop via Marco Polo, the research organization he founded.

For a taste of what he said watch this The Real Story broadcast.

Throughout this part of the evening the thought came to me that what we were brought up to believe, whether you grew up in the 1950’s, 1960’s on through current times may have been/maybe is a false narrative.  The teachings of Democracy, a free press, honest elected officials, etc. is no truer than our Mister Santa Claus.

If the above is true, and The Parallel Election and Marco Polo should convince you of that, then what is our plan, not to sound too radical, to reclaim our rights as citizens?  Do we have one?

Bread From French Camp Academy

Bread From French Camp Academy

By Bob Small

One signpost of the holidays has always been our loaf of bread from French Camp Academy (FCA) in Mississippi.

In 1810 Frenchman Louis Lafleur built a trading post and inn on the Natchez Trace between Natchez and Nashville.  In 1855, the Mississippi Institute was established, and later, a school for boys. The schools were combined as French Camp Academy after a fire in 1915. 

Among the school’s special features are the radio station WFCA, the Rainwater Observatory and Planetarium (largest in the state).  There’s also the Council House Cafe and their annual Harvest Festival, both of which we’ve attended in years past.

A few of the many student activities are construction, fishing, Camp of the Rising Sun rock wall, The Children of God Pottery Studio, cutting sorghum, grounds crew program, The Ministry of Bread, photography, the trail ride, and zip line at Lake Ann. Of course, there are many religious activities besides services at French Camp Presbyterian Church.

According to Private School Review, it’s one of the “best Boarding schools in Mississippi”, serving “Young people who need a fresh start in life”, and  is “Christ-centered”.

 See also  Best Elementary Schools in Choctaw County ..

For an academic analysis, see  The Impact Of French Camp Academy On Child Abuse And ….

Here’s more information about Skylyr Effler, mentioned in the article.

My late mother-in-law grew up in rural Mississippi and attended FCA in the 1930’s. Her 10 brothers and sisters also attended.

 During the times we traveled to Mississippi forging relationships with her family, we naturally visited FCA and decided to become a donor. FCA sends the loaf of bread, made in their bakery, as they consider Jesus as the Bread of life, as they say in the donor letter. This was started in the 1950’s under then FCA president Sam Patterson.

Chester Native E. W. Jackson Seeks Highest Office

Chester Native E. W. Jackson Seeks Highest Office

By Bob Small

E. W. Jackson, who was born 71 years ago in Chester, Pa., has certainly done a lot and now he’s seeking the Republican nomination for president.

He credits his achievements to his biological father reclaiming him when he was 10 years old. A Marine veteran and a Harvard Law School graduate, he practiced law in Boston for fifteen years, and later became a Strayer University adjunct professor.

Jackson went to Harvard Divinity School and was ordained as a pastor. He hosted “Topic Religion” on the radio station WEEI, then ran Boston’s first gospel radio station. Later he was forced into bankruptcy.

He has said, “given the opportunity to do it all over again, I would gladly give nine years of my life to broadcasting the gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Though descended from slaves, Jackson is proud to be an American. He is the co-founder of a group called STAND, which started the Forgotten Children Project. Forgotten Children Project

With his wife Theodora, Jackson co-founded the Annual Chesapeake Martin Luther King Breakfast, which has continued for a quarter of a century.

He has written three books, and his latest one is Sweet Land of Liberty — Reflections of a Patriot Descended From Slaves. ”Sweet Land of Liberty: Reflections of a Patriot Descended .

Of Jackson’s many accomplishments is his 2013 GOP run for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, which he lost to Ralph Northam.

He’s very clear about why he’s a Republican, In obedience, evangelical pastor enters race for GOP …

Of the Democrats, he says, “their attitude is they own black people; they own the victim classes they set up”

In the about section of his website, he adds “We patriots do not pretend America is a perfect country, but we are a noble nation”

In the “issues” section, he lists 10 top issues, which are twenty pages but well worth reading.

Under “Patiotism” (Issue # 10), he promises to declare September “American History month” as opposed to the various “hyphenated-American classes”, which he sees as divisive.

Pastor Jackson is another candidate with some original ideas.  Sadly, these will only exist as long as his candidacy does.
