GOVEROTRAGEOUS: USPS website doesn’t locate individual blue collection boxes

Saturday, August 15, 2026

“usps mailnox drops near me”

Claude response:

*** begin quote ***

Google Places doesn’t index individual blue collection boxes — just staffed locations. For those, USPS’s own locator is the reliable source: usps.com/manage/collection-boxes.htm — plug in your zip and it’ll show every street-corner blue box near you, with last pickup times.

*** end quote ***

usps.com/manage/collection-boxes.htm —

<<ditto>>

Essentially the same.

UPS, FEDEX, and DHL can tell you exactly where and when they pickup —  even for individual blue collection boxes.

As ususal, the Gooferment can’t match what the “invisible hand of the free market” delivers … … at comparable or even lower cost.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Anthony Fauci is convicted by his own diary entries and with it the Gooferment’s censorship apparatus

Wednesday, August 5, 2026

Censorship
Tony Lyons: Why Censorship Never Works

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the man the government tried to censor, is now the head of HHS. ‘The Real Anthony Fauci.’ the book they tried to censor, sold over a million copies

Jul 30, 2026

[Tony Lyons, President of MAHA Action and host of the weekly MAHA Media Hub, introduced Wednesday’s show with the below words – just hours after Sen. Rand Paul’s hearing with former NIAID director, Anthony Fauci.]

*** begin quote ***

Let me start with the man himself, in his own words. Over the weekend, Senator Rand Paul released more than a thousand of Anthony Fauci’s diary entries and you’d think a man at the center of the deadliest health crisis in a century would focus on the lives lost, the families destroyed, the decisions that kept him up at night. That’s not what’s in there.

On a day in the spring of 2020, with global deaths mounting and Americans terrified, here’s what Fauci found worth writing down: “Big front-page article about me appeared in the Washington Post. Very flattering.”

“It is not hyperbole to say that today I am the most famous and talked-about person in the country, and one of the most recognizable persons in the world.”

He bragged that the entire Secret Service corps was coming over to chat him up, waving him through the gate without even checking his ID. He kept a running tally — not of the dead, but of his television hits, proudly logging that he’d done all five Sunday shows in a single morning. Pure vanity.

Secretary Kennedy put it best this week: the starkest impression you get reading these diaries is the massive dichotomy between what Fauci was saying privately, behind closed doors or in his journal, and what he was saying publicly about where Covid really came from, about how deadly it actually was, about how well those vaccines really worked. And it goes higher than that: Senator Paul and others believe the record shows Fauci, along with Deborah Birx, didn’t just mislead the American people — they misled the President of the United States himself.

*** end quote ***

In short, we can not trust anything that the Gooferment or its media allies (emphasis on the word lies) push out to us.

Millions killed, maimed, lives ruined, careers aborted, as well our time, attention, effort, and dikw wasted.

Argh!

Someone other than John Q. Public, Joe Six Pack, and the ordinary wage slaves needs to pay a very heavy price!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Put an end to the that happened to Massie

Friday, June 19, 2026

https://lwvc.org/position/position-campaign-financing/

*** begin quote ***

In the summer of 2012, the League ran radio ads in Tennessee and Maine asking Senators Corker, Alexander, Snowe and Collins to support campaign finance reform. The ads were made possible through a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Church at Shelter Rock in Long Island, NY. The ads were timed in anticipation of Congressional action on the DISCLOSE Act. The ads garnered press coverage from outlets in both states.

Today the League continues to push for legislation to protect and reinvigorate the public financing system for president. In addition, the League continues to work to reinvigorate the dysfunctional Federal Election Commission (FEC) which has refused to enforce the law.

*** end quote ***

I have some suggestion for Federal Gooferment campaign restrictions:

  • Only campaign contributions from eligible registered voters in the district.  (Limited to $1,000)
  • NO corporation contributions.  (Could be implemented by making it a tax event.)
  • NO Political Action Committee contributions or advertising for a candidate.
  • NO contributions from foreign governments.
  • Violations are sentenced to a minimum of one year in prison and barred from future campaigns.

That should put an end to the <synonym for excrement> that happened to Massie.

Argh!

Ask me how I really feel!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Armstrong paid homeless individuals on Los Angeles’ Skid Row to register to vote … …

California US attorney says multiple election fraud investigations underway
By Sharyl Attkisson | June 6, 2026

*** begin quote ***

Essayli pointed to the case of Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, who pleaded guilty to a felony count of paying another person to register to vote in a federal election.

According to prosecutors, Armstrong paid homeless individuals on Los Angeles’ Skid Row to register to vote and, in some cases, used her address so mail-in ballots would be sent to her home. Authorities say the scheme operated for roughly 20 years.

*** end quote ***

Sure, Stalin was wrong.

“It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.” — attributed to Joseph Stalin

“As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it. say?” — attributed to William M. “Boss” Tweed in Thomas Nast cartoon, 7 October 1871).

“As long as I count the Votes, what are you going to do about it. say?” — attributed to William M. “Boss” Tweed in Thomas Nast cartoon, 7 October 1871). — Not Stalin 

Maybe not?

These fraudsters eliminate the need to “stuff the ballot box” or “rig the count”.  They just “invent voters”. Are there more votes than register voters?   All the mainstream media “swears” election are totally fair and honest.

So why don’t I believe them?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: The Gooferment its sure to collect “their” money but enforcing a court order is not their problem?

BRIDE SUES HER WEDDING PLANNER AFTER SHE TURNED THE SPECIAL MOMENT INTO A “DAY FROM HELL”

*** begin quote ***

Frustrated by a legal system that left her with a victory on paper but an empty pocket in reality, Lopez realized that the courtroom wasn’t giving her the accountability she needed. That is when she decided to take matters into her own hands and approach the media.

*** end quote ***

The only time I see plaintiffs assure they get their money in on Judge Judy.

I take notice that in small claims and child support, collecting is your problem.  That court order is SO WORTHLESS.  When the Gooferment doesn’t get “their” pound of flesh, they move heaven and earth to get it.  Take everything you have.  There maybe no more debtors prisons, but there might as well be if you cross the IRS.  Only the DMV is worse.

I blogged about “child support” and how hard it was to collect from some deadbeats (male and female).  I’d like to see the Gooferment give the indigent judgement holder their award and then go after the deadbeat with their customary ferocity.  

Ditto for smal claims.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Quarantine? Used to detain American citizens

Monday, June 1, 2026

The Architecture of Compliance

  • Omaha’s biosecurity hub ushers in a new era of federal quarantine power

Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

∙ Paid

*** begin quote ***

Omaha, Nebraska has taken center stage for America’s attention to the MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak—buy why Omaha? Despite the WHO’s narrative that hantavirus ANDV is exclusively spreading human-to-human, there is no credible scientific evidence that the virus can transmit in exhaled breath, coughing, or sneezing. The ship has not been ruled out as the source of the outbreak. Not all passengers and crew outside of the US are locked up. So how can Americans be detained?

*** end quote ***

I thought the same thing when I first heard the story.

What gives the [Federal Gooferment the power to “quarantine” Americans?

Did some bureaucrat just decide to deprive these people of their rights based on their opinion?

As the very least, there should have been some judicial process to allow the individuals to dispute the “findings”.

Argh!

The Gooferment does a poor job of protecting us from real criminals, but they are “Johnny On The Spot” to deprive individuals of freedom and liberty.

Where is all the so called protectors of freedom like the ACLU?

MIA.

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Gooferment only rationale for existence — protect the vulnerable

Wednesday, May 27, 2026

John Oliver reveals the sinister truth behind those J.G. Wentworth ads

  • Last Week Tonight takes on the factoring companies working to fleece people of their structured settlements.

By Drew Gillis | May 18, 2026 | 9:34am

*** begin quote ***

Most of the TV-watching public in the United States probably knows the jingle already: If you have a structured settlement and you need cash now, call J.G. Wentworth (877-CASH-NOW). However, this is pretty much always a horrible idea, according to the reporting and research John Oliver presents about J.G. Wentworth and other factoring companies on this week’s Last Week Tonight. In short, these companies are going to take the vast majority of that structured settlement for itself while fronting just a small fraction of the settlement to its intended recipient.

*** end quote ***

Don’t miss this diatribe. It was imho a hysterically funny take down of a terrible set of “vultures”. I laughed so hard at the ending I choked.

Then ask where is the Gooferment “safety net” for those poor individuals, getting a structured settlement, and often mentally disabled.  Every State should immediately require a “guardian ad litem” in every structured settlement judicial action.  As John Oliver called attention to that and the resulting 42% dismissal / withdrawal rate.

It’s the least we can do to protect the vulnerable in our population.  

Isn’t that Gooferment only rationale for existence?  To protect “We, The Sheeple” from all enemies —  foreign and domestic!

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Are rich people are stupid?

Tuesday, May 12, 2026

https://reason.com/2026/05/04/seattles-socialist-mayor-laughs-at-wealthy-residents-leaving-to-escape-high-taxes/?utm_source=Reason+Magazine&utm_campaign=018b3a82a1-reason_brand%7Crattler%7C2026_05_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-329ed823d6-589247507

Seattle’s Socialist Mayor Laughs at Wealthy Residents Leaving To Escape High Taxes

  • “Bye!” Mayor Katie Wilson says with a wave to those who want out.

J.D. Tuccille | 5.4.2026 7:00 AM

*** begin quote ***

Wilson’s comments came during an April 16 discussion about “The New Progressives” as part of Seattle University’s Conversations series. Wilson and King County Executive Girmay Zahilay fielded a series of questions by host Joni Balter and graduate student Ari Winter.

Asked about major companies leaving or threatening to leave over Seattle’s and Washington’s escalating tax burden, Zahilay acknowledged that “everything is a tradeoff” and “of course I think taxes can make companies make decisions about staying or leaving.” You wouldn’t necessarily want to live under his policies, but he sounds like he understands that his decisions may drive people out and impose costs on the community.

*** end quote ***

These politicians and bureaucrats must think rich people are stupid. They didn’t get “rich” by being stupid.

I don’t think so.

People CAN “vote” with their feet.  Capital flees to the most favorable jurisdiction.  With ₿itcoin, you don’t need to fear “confiscation”.

Argh!

“What do you call it when someone steals someone else’s money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else’s money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else’s money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social justice.” — Thomas Sowell

The Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee should take a lesson.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: “Taxation IS theft” spawns the CERTIFIED POLITICAL PROMISE idea

Saturday, May 9, 2026

https://www.newstribune.com/news/2026/may/03/commentary-everyone-hates-taxes-that-doesnt-mean/

COMMENTARY: Everyone hates taxes — that doesn’t mean you can skip them
Chicago Tribune (TNS)

*** begin quote ***

“Taxation is theft” is typically Libertarian-coded, a view that carries deep skepticism about the wisdom, efficiency and trustworthiness of government’s ability to spend our money better than we would ourselves. We suspect many folks who voted for President Donald Trump do not like paying taxes. Perhaps they even have this slogan taped to their rear bumper.

*** and ***

You can protest how your tax dollars are used. You can press your lawmakers for a different approach. You can support candidates who reflect your priorities and hold them accountable once they’re in office. You can argue about how much should be collected in the first place.

*** end quote ***

Yes, I do have the bumper stickers and it’s not like anything seems to work!

Unconstitutional regime-change war at the behest of Israel as well as widespread Welfare / Medicare / Medicaid fraud makes me enraged!

How about introducing the concept of a “CERTIFIED” (as in the Post Office “certified mail return receipt requested”) … … “CERTIFIED POLITICAL PROMISE”!  (Some lawyer be willing to create one pro bono for the good of the Republic?).  I envision it as an Undated Resignation Letter.

Date: TBD
TO: We, The People
FROM: ____ candidate for ____

PROMISE:  ____  (i.e., specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bounded)

CONSEQUENCE:  Consider this my immediately effective resignation

SIGNED:

NOTARIZED: 

COPIES TO: The National Archives, the current President, and the Governor of my State

That should suffice to cut down on the politicians’ <synonym for excrement> on the difference between CAMPAIGNING and GOVERNING!

Hey it’s worth trying ❶.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: No Gooferment bailouts for any failing corporation.

Saturday, May 2, 2026

https://nypost.com/2026/04/24/opinion/spirit-airlines-deal-threatens-another-bailout-boondoggle/

Spirit Airlines deal threatens yet another bailout boondoggle
By Stephen Moore
Published April 24, 2026, 5:13 p.m. ET

*** begin quote ***

It’s a strange conundrum: If a company gets too big and successful and dares earn too much money, the US government accuses it of being an evil monopoly and tries to break it up.

And if it loses too much money, the government swoops in and bails it out with taxpayer dollars — as we’ve seen multiple times now, from banking to the auto industry.

Rewarding failure and punishing success isn’t a very smart economic game plan.

In the latest chapter of this saga, the federal government is reportedly about to provide a half-billion-dollar taxpayer bailout to Spirit Airlines.

Aren’t you excited to learn you may become a shareholder?

*** and ***

And the politicians have a long and inglorious history of picking losers.

Think of the hundreds of millions of dollars lost under President Barack Obama’s so-called stimulus, when the government turned itself into a venture capital fund and “invested” in companies like Solyndra and Fisker Auto — celebrated solar panel and electric car manufacturers that went bust after huge infusions of tax dollars.

How many times have we been told that Amtrak and the US Postal Service are about to become profitable?

*** end quote ***

The Gooferment —  at any level — as well as any politicians and bureaucrats should not be favoring any corporation or people with “investments” from the Taxpayers’ pocket.

I still remember how upset my sainted wife was when the Gooferment bailed out GM and the bond holders got screwed.   I also remember when my favorite tax accountant got screwed when Bear Sterns was allowed to go bust but AIG was bailed out.  And remember when the Gooferment was to bail out individual mortgagees that suddenly became bailouts for the Big Banks — who promptly gave big bonuses to high-earning employees, CxOs, and directors. Sigh!  

The beauty of “capitalism” is that “the invisible hand of the marketplace” rewards those who satisfy the consumers’ needs making a profit and applies discipline to those that don’t.  All without a single Gooferment bureaucrat!

When Gooferment seeks to frustrate the marketplace: (1) it doesn’t work since it doesn’t change the leadership, management, and workers behavior that got them into unprofitability in the first place; (2) the taxpayers become the deep pockets for further losses; and (3) continues the immorality of Gooferment theft and “training’ “We, The Sheeple” that the Gooferment knows what’s best for “us”!

Bottom line: No Gooferment bailouts for any failing corporation.

Argh!
