ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

Wish it were really only one that flew and wish that the nest were not so large in diameter and depth  and sure as tootin' wish there were a whole bunch of fewer cuckoos!
     So we have the wife of a WH official who sends out blasts that a measles epidemic is false news and that  anyway, these diseases are good for fighting cancer!! You cannot make these things up. Wonder   what she would say to the parents of kids who died or were severely damaged by these 'harmless' diseases? And of course the question of vaccines, well, you should hear the rant on that!!
     But she does not stand out among these cuckoos. Trump meets the President of Columbia and goes off on a tangent about the economy - which by the way is beginning to show very recognizable signs of a recession - about how great he is doing, how the wall is being built and they have achieved much in that area, which is interesting since not one inch of new wall has been built under his administration! He throws great and fabulous words all over the place, particularly where they do not belong and then abruptly shuts the conference down. Cuckoo indeed!The nest is going into multiple condos already, so large and necessary are the housing demands.
     Meanwhile the nest of vipers, of consummate liars, although evidently they are not as talented at it as they think they are, grows apace and the circle is tightening round the master viper, the major cuckoo. Wish we could have an end - and then a proper beginning once more. I bet so many others do also.
     A serious issue though is the growing anti Semitism and the wrong arguments about it. See, the issue is not whether Omar apologized and meant it, or did not, or spoke again, now speaking at the conference along with an avowed anti Semite who prefers the death of Jews to anything else.  She obviously means her poison statements and not her apologies and the point is that Pelosi should be kicking her down the alley and not pointing fingers at the Republicans who were VERY slow to punish King and other such critters - including the chief Republican, Trump, who finds fine people on that side of the issue.  That is just one aspect, but the onus of punishing Democrats is on the Democrats and to do the right thing and not see the wrong thing done by the Republicans as an excuse for them to make short shrift of it. Do the right thing - period.
     Someone must take a stand. Someone must be brave and honest enough to admit and present the facts, to teach the world that no, it is not singing the Coke song but rather the Horst Wessel song about Jewish blood! Again. Again. Hungary. Germany. Poland. The USA. Russia. Indonesia. and I must say that to hear a German voice speaking about Jude just about sends the wrong kind of chills and fear running through me.
     The problem with the cuckoo's nest is that it is really not that of the cuckoo alone, for it belongs to a growing clan of them, too many to count. Their voices run together and stronger and outshout those with good intent. It is not one who flew over, but more and more. I can confess that as a woman, as a humanist, as a Jew, as a proponent of social rights, I am scared. Very much so.
     People, these are not harmless cuckoos. People said that Hitler was insane and they would just use him for his strength and then get rid of him. Uh huh. Not exactly what happened, was it? He used them alright and then threw them under the Zyklon B gas! We must be wary and watchful and ever so careful as to where we place our political and social hopes and never underestimate the power of the supposed kooks. Behind them is a strong group of determined evildoers who have other plans than you or I. Think I am jumping the shark? Well, go take a tour of Europe. Take a trip through recent videos here in the USA or should I say Jew - S -A as the bigots ranted at their rallies. Burn words, burn books, burn people. Simple progression. We know that. We must admit that and do something about it.
