For the many reasons that I've enumerated in previous posts my Facebook page has now been deactivated. I may at some point create a non interactive kanesrealm page but I haven't made that decision. I don't know how many people receive my commentaries via e-mail that may also have been a Facebook friend but now you have an explanation of what happened. You are free to share my posts on all social media platforms, including Facebook. By deactivating the account I'll be able to take a break from that platform and stop wasting so much time on it, to no avail. Time is the one war in which no human being can prevail and the clock is rapidly ticking for me. I have no plans to stop writing the blog and I'm sure Trumplestiltskin will give me a lot of material to work with, if I can keep up with his lies and various delusions. But I also intend to refocus my energy, such as it is, to my other writing interests before it's too late. If you were a friend on Facebook, I

Kellyanne Conway nay Goebbels, Trump's pollster, third campaign manager and now Presidential Senior Advisor has made it crystal clear that the chronic lying of her boss throughout his entire campaign and her smiling facilitation of said lies is now the official stance of the Office of the Presidency. Ms. Conway appeared on Meet the Press this past Sunday where she defended the irrational screeching statements made by Press Secretary Sean Spicer about how YUGE the crowds were at Trump's inauguration. Conway was called out for the lies and she casually tossed it aside saying he used alternative facts. Alternative facts are lies, but not so according to Conway. Kellyanne Conway nay Goebbels has been smiling and lying to the American people from the moment she joined Team Trump as a surrogate and she gets away with it because she's a charming monotone woman that never stops smiling while spewing the propaganda of her master. All of these believers in God, predominantly Christ

Only one person on the planet will get the complete meaning of the title of this commentary, he frequently has referred over the long years to my wearing of the dickhat, which means idiots piss me off and I show it. Today I abruptly left Facebook, oh yeah, I did. My page is still there but I'm not. Last week I purged my cellphone of the app and returned it to the factory setting and disabled said installed basic function. Can you believe that shit? Facebook is already jacked in when you get your phone, you can't wipe it out. I know a lot of people love Facebook, I don't and yet I have become hooked on repeatedly checking it on a daily basis and for what? I ask you, for fucking what? I created an account in July of 2016 and simultaneously created a Twitter account. I did these two things for one reason, to promote this blog. I had never been on Facebook and maintained I never would because of my belief it's a giant fake waste of time and in spite of it's top rankin

Donald J. Trump is now the 45th President of the United States and make no mistake in your thought process, his Presidency is legitimate. True, he won because our electoral system failed but that does not change the facts. The Russians did not steal our election, Americans are responsible for the outcome. No evidence of any kind has been suggested or proved that a foreign power directly placed their hands on our voting machines and changed votes to guarantee Trump a victory in the Electoral College. If you feel the need to assign blame, put it on F.B.I. Director James Comey, who went out of his way, in contradiction of Bureau protocols, to smear Hillary Clinton with false innuendo. First in the early summer of 2016 and again two weeks prior to the General Election. Blame the Democratic Party as a whole for believing, like the Republicans, that Donald Trump was not a serious threat to them. Blame the hundreds of millions of Facebook users who love to share lies over and over again. Blam

Some of you may think my previous post was a bit harsh, not so. In fact I pulled my punch out of regard for my more sensitive readers. Let's go deeper, shall we. I never drank the Obama Kool-aid, in reality I drink no politicians Kool-aid. I view them all with a healthy skepticism and then hope that they might live up to their rhetoric and rise to statesman like decorum. They rarely do and Barack Obama is no exception. When Obama originally announced he was running for the Democratic nomination for President I wrote that maybe in the future when he had seasoning and an established national record but not now. No sooner had he been elected to the U.S. Senate then bam, he's running for President. He had no record of substance and his brief time in the Senate was less than stellar. I was not impressed by him. Throughout the campaign and debates, the one candidate who stood out and distinguished himself was Joe Biden but the media wasn't interested in old Joe, nice guy but th

Here's one to piss everybody off. Enjoy! Last night Barack Obama delivered his farewell address in Trump style with a big venue in Chicago with 20,000 people in attendance. I was moved only by my need to adjust my chair. I have struggled for years to figure out what it is about Barack Obama I find so uninspiring and now I know. He is like the promise of a great song. The first few bars are catchy and the last note tricks you into believing it was good but everything in between is shit. Last night it was breaking news that a two page unsubstantiated addendum was added to the classified hacking briefing given to the President and President Elect that Russia had compromising information on Donald Trump. By this morning holes the size of the moon had been shot in this story and many news organizations had refused to run with it because it was questionable. What does this so called document show? That Trump fucked a goat? Even if he did, who cares, it gets cold in Russia. Trump is

Donald Trump received his briefing on Russia's hacking activity from the big four intel officials of the United States. Trump said it was "constructive" and "he likes these guys", but, yes there's a but, "it didn't effect the outcome of the election". Further, Trump continues to basically not believe any of it and continues to be an advocate of Vladimir Putin. First let's state the obvious, the anger that all Americans should feel is over a foreign power deliberately attempting to interfere in our elections and the failure of the man about to become President not condemning it and calling out the actors responsible. Donald Trump is such an insecure person that the only thing he can focus on is the suggestion his Presidency is illegitimate even though that suggestion hasn't been made by anyone in government. You could certainly state as fact that Donald Trump spent eight years trying to delegitimize the Presidency of Barack Obama, you

President-elect Donald J. Trump is blaming the dishonest media for portraying him as pro Julian Assange and anti U.S. intelligence officials over the Russian hacking incidents surrounding American elections. As proof for their reporting, the media used Trump's own words and Tweets, thus proving he is an unreliable source. Again, breaking news, Donald Trump has disavowed the reliability of his own words. Tomorrow Trump will receive his official intel briefing on the Russian hacking allegations. It is the same briefing President Obama received today and is in prelude to the release of a report to the American people. The meeting was always scheduled for this Friday but Trump said it was to be held on Wednesday and Tweeted that the intelligence officials had pushed it to Friday so they could probably create fictitious information, not his word but most certainly his meaning. But after today's revelation from Trump himself as being an unreliable news source, we can dismiss this a

Donald Trump knows things that nobody else knows about the Russian hacking of the D.N.C. and meddling in our Presidential election. Trump understands hacking and the Russians are not guilty. Trump knows more than the President of the United States, all of his intelligence agencies and federal entities combined. Thank goodness for Donald Trump and he's going to tell us everything he knows about this matter on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. Oh wait, this is Wednesday and it's almost over and no disclosures have been made by Trump. Trump is praising Julian Assange and Wikileaks, a man Trump once described as disgraceful. But hey, Julian's okay right now because he was helpful to Trump and he is saying uncategorically that the Russians did not provide Wikileaks with any hacked information, alright Julian, settle down. If you're a fan of Assange that's your prerogative but remember that all of his original partners, the ones that actually built the Wikileaks platfo

The new session of Congress officially began yesterday. The super duper amped up Republican control of all branches of government is at hand and up first in the House on the night of January 2, while no one was watching a group of Republican delinquents moved to get rid of the Independent House Ethics Commission. Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McCarthy didn't want this to happen but they were ignored which tells you they have no power over their own caucus. But the public was watching and reached out in rage bombarding Congress with phone calls. Even Donald Trump tweeted his displeasure that they had chosen this as their first act. To be clear, Trump doesn't mind them getting rid of the ethics commission, he just feels they should wait, (read the tweet.) So down the drain went this first initiative. So what to do? Oh yes, the chestnut, the official introduction of the Bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act. If you read regularly you're about to experience dejavu, get u

No doubt you're sitting in your spinning chair, your fingers rapidly tapping the arms with  piston precision, frequently checking your e-mail and my delightful non-graphic blog site and wondering, "where is Kane?" Well, Mr. Kane is right where he has always been, trapped in darkness and tortured by demons, but enough about my love life. There is a lot of political matters to write about and yet nothing to write about. We have eighteen days to go before Donald J. Trump becomes President of the United States. Speculating on what is about to happen is quite pointless but his Cabinet nominees give some indication of the overall tone of the incoming administration. All very rich with a few poor millionaires thrown in for good measure. All with a philosophy from earlier times in history when the nobles of the land ruled while the rest of us toiled in the field and said yes my Lord. Trump speaks endlessly about deregulation but it won't be about making the opening of a smal
