He is not only an ass, but he causes assenicity in others.

Published by Richard Kimball on June 24, 2025

Take just one teensy example, a favorite:  Lindsey Graham, who Trump called a “disgrace, nut job, one of the dumbest human beings,” who is now tethered on the ring Trump had punched through his nose.

Today, Lindsey just hobbles dutifully along, echoing his master’s every whim, just as he did during his long-lost salad days when he did the same for his buddy, John McCain with his spine to crawl up on.

DON’T assassinate Trump!

Published by Richard Kimball on June 19, 2025

Let me be clear, I think the assassination of Trump would be repulsive.

However, I am surprised that in America, such evil still exists.

Even Hitler had at least 40 attempts, many by insiders, but with Trump no insider will do what over 700,000 of our family members, neighbors and fellow defenders of democracy have done: Die in freedom’s defense.

THE BLACK HOUSE

Published by Richard Kimball on June 18, 2025
  1. Subverting the 2020 election and having his sycophants attack the capitol.
  2. Abusing his pardon power to release the vilest attackers of democracy.
  3. Using the “bully pulpit” to spread lies and hate.
  4. Withholding funds from Ukraine in support of one of the world’s most hideous dictators.
  5. Hinging all new government appointments to lackeys, compliant to any whim.
  6. Dismissing all whistle blowers, anyone disagreeing with him.
  7. Scrounging what cash he can for his family, off the most need of a hand up.

With a Congress subservient, and the Supreme Court neutered with his appointees, all hope resides, where it has always resided, in the democracy our American ancestors gave birth to, and died to preserve – YOU!

Hate observes no barrier:

Published by Richard Kimball on June 16, 2025

.By 1922, the Ottomans massacre over a million Assyrian

By 1930, the Soviet Union starves 4 million Ukrainians.

By 1945, the Germans shot or gas 6 million Jews.

By 1979, the Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge slaughter 3 million intellectuals, Christians and Muslims.

By 1971, the Bangladesh army ends 3 million Hindus, doctors, journalists, professors in a “classicide” massacred.

By 1994, the Rwandan Hutu’s bludgeon and machete 500,000 Tutsis.

In 2025, 50,000 Gazans have been blown into pieces.

Last week, Vance Boelter, an Evangelical Christian began the murdering of registered democrats.

Today, Richard Kimball, an anti-war pacifist, tried to pick a fight with a fellow tossing a cup from his truck, while his oversized Trump flag flapped off its end.

Luckily, Kimball 76, found his fellow American less angry than he.

All hate begins local.

It was a spitting contest.

Published by Richard Kimball on June 7, 2025

We both tried to target a stone in the dirt as we swung back and forth on his backyard swing set.

When his globulet grazed the pebble’s side things took a turn. I claimed the need for a direct hit, while he knew any touch would do.

Without warning our spittle went airborne as we plastered each other until we went dry.

Remind you of anyone you know, maybe your President and the richest person in the world.

We were 7, while they will be as grown up as they will ever be.

“Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every now and then.”

Published by Richard Kimball on June 6, 2025

And so it is with Health Secretary Kennedy.

Never mind that he claims responsibility for parking dead bears in Central Park. Never mind the worm he claims ate its way into his brain. Kennedy has stumbled on the truth I have long been straining to uncover “Fluoride causes low IQ and brain damage.”

That’s it, that must be it!  Fluoride has made Americans stupid.

In spite, of all those Trump intimates, the Generals, Chiefs of Staff, even Musk, broadcasting Trumps childish, ignorant nature, millions that don’t know him, never worked with him or have ever even seen him, are stuck on him.

Why is it that so many Americans not in the know, without the teensy bit of know, lock on, despite what those in the know are screaming at them.

It has just got to be the Fluoride.

Gotta Love Bees

Published by Richard Kimball on May 19, 2025

The few males in a hive just wander around looking for some queen to stick it too, while the females do all the work. 

If there is trouble, it is the females that have the stinging weapon and launch into battle often giving up their lives, while the bigger males just pretend to be girls to save themselves.

If our hive is to be saved, it will be women that do it!

How this all came to be: 

Published by Richard Kimball on May 16, 2025

“Let’s hire her, she has the biggest t – – s.”

“It doesn’t matter that the Army no longer needs or wants the armory, we must keep it open to support the jobs. Jobs equal votes.”

“What the Hell? He voted to subsidize tobacco growers? How can that be, we all live in Arizona?” 

“Oh that. We needed to support North Carolina tobacco growers, or their congressmen won’t vote to support our ditch from the Colorado River to Phoenix and Tucson to sell more property.”

I was a young Washington staffer, when I heard such things, they had all been my bosses, all prominent Presidential candidates and Democrats. Yes, it isn’t just Republicans that lack the courage to lead.

Political leaders don’t often stay well-grounded citizen servants. Republicans and Democrats become dizzy under the relentless ladling of self-serving partisan slop that fertilizes big heads.

An 18th century Scottish Historian argued that America’s freedom fighters were anchored in courage and if successful, would find liberty and great abundance, but abundance would lead to selfishness, then a complacency that would return them to bondage.

Hard not to see it in real time.

The Second Coming Comes

Published by Richard Kimball on May 8, 2025

I spent 33 years locked in a promise I made Presidents Ford and Carter. I would not involve myself in partisan politics while running the organization we had begun.

Once retired, I still would not involve in political discussions. That isn’t to say I had nothing to say, it is just after those 33 years of struggling to help people deal with the facts, I am no longer interested in what anyone else thinks.

From where I have stood, no one thinks. Like eating a Big Mack to satisfy their hunger, people have become accustomed to tunning into some political preacher who says what satisfies and then mimics them with “lock box” conviction.

When politics becomes the conversation, I have become a joke. “Mention politics,” they say, “if you want to watch Kimball walk out of the room.”

If I am stuck, as the other day, with a devoted Christian, Trump supporter and close friend, who thought him God’s tool to make things wrong, right again, I simply agree.

Yes, Jesus was selfless, thoughtful, kind, forgiving with endless compassion for the suffering, downtrodden and all those without hope. Trump, his doppelganger – very difficult to see much difference.

Nothing is more upsetting than that moment in a dispute when you realize you’ve been wrong!

Published by Richard Kimball on May 7, 2025

Daily, millions of our fellow citizens enter that condition.

As the absurdity of supporting this quasar of toddler self-indulgent nonsense begins to roost in bank accounts, a day of clarity presents itself.

It isn’t that right wing media begins to crack, or even Congressional fanaticos suddenly skulking for self-preservation, it is The People, whose roots lock back in and the human desire for justice and fair play is renourished.

Don’t Kill Trump

Published by Richard Kimball on April 28, 2025

Yes, he wants to end democracy, and YES, his being elected is a compelling argument to do so, but look at who might replace him:

JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kristi Noem, etc. all sycophants, all MAGA, all who either once opposed him or have suckled on the tit of obedience from birth.

Perhaps more important isn’t the MAGA party but the media powers with enormous followings, who will attempt to chisel a new Trump out of his droppings:

FOX, Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Laura Lommer, Kevin Roberts, Laura Trump etc.

Kill Trump and you will have crucified him in the eyes of his zealots. Let him live into his onsetting incapacity and his disciples will devour each other.

Mixed Messaging

Published by Richard Kimball on April 26, 2025

Went to Alice’s funeral yesterday, a remarkable woman. She retired after 22 years as a captain in the Airforce and then committed the rest of her life fighting for world peace.

At her end, dozens said goodbye with the sweetest stories of her struggles to bring calm to an angry world.

Even Secretary of Defense Hegseth and President Trump celebrated her goodness by sending a military guard to send her off with volleys of rifle fire and a slow dramatic folding of the Stars and Stripes.

Which they had presented to Alice’s wife, Cara, from a grateful nation with these quiet words, “On behalf of the President of the United States.”

Ukraine

Published by Richard Kimball on April 23, 2025

Over two years ago or almost one year after Putin invaded Ukraine, I wrote these blogged words in solution to the war, words that I hate as much now as I did when I wrote them:

  1. “The West recognizes roughly 7% of Ukraine as Russian, including Crimea and the Russian-speaking areas of Donetsk and Luhansk — roughly the territory Russia claimed in 2014.
  2. Ukraine, whose economy has crashed, gets to retain all of the territory they had prior to the 2022 invasion, gets peace, and the funds to rebuild, substantially but not solely provided by Russia.“

That is exactly where we head now, only after another 30,000 innocent non-combatant deaths.

It is not a brag, but a cracking volcanic blast at cowering, wimpy Presidents who can’t get off their knees when challenged by a country whose economic power is half that of California’s.

This proposed deal, never needed to happen!

GREATEST GENERATION’S ANTITHESIS: US

Published by Richard Kimball on April 3, 2025

They were born inflicted with the effects of “The War to End All Wars”, in adolescence endured The Great Depression, then in adulthood crushed the tyranny of a megalomaniac on path to conquer the world, shamed Soviet tyranny, blazed a path to equality for all in Civil Rights, put a man on the moon, and their children in schools where teachers were the boss while making us the envy of the world.

The Greatest now gone, the pendulum swung to us, a new generation that cuddles suppression, trashes science, education and truth, in an angry, nonsensical tirade where the pain for all has only just begun!

GAME ON!

Published by Richard Kimball on March 31, 2025

If Trump and his minions think they can devise some way for him to run for a third term, so be it.

I don’t think they will find a way but if they do, they will have to find a way that also strips Obama from doing the same.

If they don’t, well then: GAME ON!
