There can be little doubt remaining that Cankle Ankles Trump is at best, mentally ill and unfit to hold any public office, least of all POTUS. At worst, he’s a hate-mongering, race-baiting, bigoted symbol of racism born of the twin philosophies of the KKK and Nazism.

His devout followers accuse his opponents of suffering from something called TDS, for Trump Derangement Syndrome. I suggest it is they who are afflicted with his malady for their blind loyalty to a man who stands for everything single value we as a nation claim to despise.

I’m not going to go down a list of things Trump has said and done. For those who are not too lazy or too fervent, they can do their own research; the evidence is easy enough to find.

Instead, I’m going to state unequivocally that this petty, small-minded man is consumed by something called ODS (Obama Derangement Syndrome).

Ever since April 2011, when Obama responded to Trump’s persistent birther claims in a SCATHING SEND-UP of an incredibly thin-skinned Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, he has carried a deep grudge that is both personal and vitriolic—and certainly far beyond reasonable and unbefitting a world leader.

What’s the point of all this? Check out these stories for his latest display of dog-whistle calls to his redneck base that should he make the call (again), would respond in a manner that would make Jan. 6, 2021 look like a Presbyterian prayer meeting:

Trump’s Racist Attack on the Obamas Shows the Moral Collapse of His Presidency

Thom Hartmann may be a little off in his description of a “moral collapse” of Trump’s presidency because that would assume it ever possessed any morals to begin with—and it certainly did not from his very first day in office way back in 2017.

Still, this latest stunt is obviously something that Trump—and Stephen Miller—must’ve thought would make a hilarious joke.

Instead, it is a slap in the face of everything that’s decent, law-abiding, and respectable. None of those attributes can be affixed to Trump or anyone around him.

This is simply intolerable and we must—we MUST—make our voices heard. Please contact your congressional representatives, particularly Sens. Cassidy and Kennedy. They don’t possess the integrity or courage to dare criticize their leader, but they MUST know how we feel about this.

Here is the contact information for each:

The library sagas continue with the most recent controversy, with St. Tammany Parish joining neighboring Washington Parish, according to an update to our Washington Parish story posted earlier today.

It seems that the St. Tammany Parish Library Board held a marathon special meeting in Slidell that lasted more than nine hours on Jan. 21 an effort to hire a new library director that parish.

This underscores what LouisianaVoice wrote earlier about efforts by outsiders to usurp local authority under the guise of protecting innocent children from all that nasty porn that the reformers are so fascinated in—so fascinated, in fact, that they go around all over the state spending inordinate amounts of time going through books in search of prurient material. The question must be asked, though, are they really trying to protect children or are they trying to stimulate their own suppressed libidos?

Anyway, four finalists for the job were interviewed after which an extended conversation was held between Sonnet Ireland, the Washington Parish Library Director who will come under fire in that parish later today, and anti-library critic Devin McGee.

One witness to the conversation noted that McGee “was sitting within 10 feet of the security guard from the local police department, he (McGee) casually walked away from the conversation to chat with someone else.”

Despite that description, MeGee later filed a police complaint in which he alleged harassment and physical contact with police.

The observer who witnessed the exchange said a St. Tammany Council member (most likely, she said, David Cougle, an original anti-library activist who co-founded the St. Tammany Library Accountability Project) called the Washington Parish President who in turn called tonight’s “ad hoc” meeting with the likely intent of terminating Ireland.

To support her theory, she attached the following state from the presiding judge in the civil case St. Tammany Parish Council v Library Board members McHugh, Parr and Taylor:

“Mr. Ireland is well-supported by those who know her knowledge, dedication and qualifications,” the witness said. “In addition to serving as Washington Parish Director, she has been a tireless advocate at the state level and in her (home) perish, St. Tammany.”

The 5^th Circuit Court of Appeal dismissed the discrimination lawsuit by the three members, ruling, incredulously, that they lacked “standing” to pursue such litigation, leaving court observers scratching their heads and wondering what the prerequisites of standing might be.
