Memory is a funny thing. I can’t remember what I did five minutes ago, but I still clearly remember playing with plastic army men on the front ‘porch’ of our home in Towanda, KS. I am liberally calling it a porch; it was a 4’x4′ raised concrete slab that faced the West. Raised about two feet off the ground, my mother was blown off that porch more than once by fierce winds from the North. On one occasion, she held my baby brother in her arms as they flew through the air. Yet, it was still one of the safest places for me to play.
When playing with those plastic army men, they were always divided between two sides: the blue vs. the green. I hadn’t seen many real military members and television in those days was still black and white. Still, I knew that US military field uniforms were, at the time, green (as opposed to the various digital camo designs used today). So, for my purposes, the blue soldiers were the Nazis and the green soldiers were the Americans. Hint: the blue soldiers always lost.
Mind you, by the time I was born, WWII had been over for 25 years. Yet, there was still no question in my mind, based on overheard conversations between adults, that Nazis were the bad guys and that Russia was a threat to American freedoms. No one questioned that perspective throughout most of my childhood. I was an adult by the time the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union broke apart, and we started pretending to play nice with Russia.
Flashback again to my childhood. This time, I’m a little older, sitting in my bedroom in Coffeyville, KS, reading Marvel and DC comics. One of my favorites was Captain America, whose most persistent enemy was a nazi terror known as The Red Skull. While the stories themselves were fictional, they represented a specific perspective of how WWII had gone. Nazis were vile, evil people who craved power at any cost. Captain America championed the power of Democracy and outsmarted Red Skull at every turn. Captain America would never have thought of partnering with Red Skull. At least, not in the issues that I was reading.
The message held in my mind was clear: We kill nazis. No questions asked. You see one, you kill it. Period.
Those in the German government tried working with Hitler, tried holding him accountable to existing laws, and tried to reign in the unbelievable tyranny that befell the country. Do you know what happened to those people? They were all killed by Hitler’s henchmen. There is no placating Nazis. There is no ‘reasonable response’ to Nazis. There is no waiting for the next election with Nazis. There’s only one solution:
KILL THE FUCKING NAZIS!
Don’t just kill the ones at the federal level, either. Kill the Nazis at the state level. Kill the Nazis at the county level. Kill Nazis at the city level if you see them. They ALL have to go if we are going to remain true to our Constitution and protect human rights.
Yeah, I know this all sounds absurd. None of us ever thought that we’d have to deal with Nazis here. Yet, the reality is staring us right in the face and if we delay in responding appropriately we’ll end up exactly where Germany was 90 years ago.
So, someone grab some guns and ammo and pick me up. No Captain America is coming to our rescue. We have to do this on our own.
Start Killing The Nazis

So, when I heard that Felonious Punk had a 90-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin yesterday, I was concerned. By all accounts, and I’ve read multiple now, the call was far too cordial and accommodating. There’s little question that the two leaders like each other, which raises the question as to where Felonious Punk’s loyalties truly lie. Then came the news that US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, told NATO that it is “unreasonable” to think that Ukraine might return to its traditional, pre-2014 borders. Why? because it wouldn’t be ‘fair’ to Russia.
So, we’re siding with the bad guys now.
Oh, but then we embraced Nazism at home. You see, Hitler laid out a plan for destroying what had once been a democratic country. He did a lot more than just kill three million Jews. He absolutely decimated the German government. So, when Elon Musk calls for the US government to ‘delete entire agencies,’ the first thing that pops into my mind is, “That’s a Nazi move.” When the dismissed EEOC commissioner warns that Trump plans to ‘erase the existence of trans people’, there can be no alternative other than “That’s a Nazi move.” And when the FCC opens a probe into NBC-parent Comcast over the promotion of DEI programs, that, too, is a Nazi move.

So, when Elon Musk, who runs a fictional office, plans to replace humans with AI, what’s my response? Kill the Nazi. When I’m told that the US government plans to spend $400 million on (checking notes) ‘armored Teslas,’ (WTF?) how can I not respond with “Kill the Nazi.” When I read that Felonious Punk instructed Middle Eastern leaders to come up with a plan for repatriating Palestinians from Gaza, we simply must say, “Kill the fucking Nazi.”
Do I need to say it louder?
KILL THE FUCKING NAZIS!
