Hi, Everyone!
Well, as you know, I have started a new website, MichaelJayTucker.com. It comes with its own blogging facilities, so I will be moving explosive-cargo there.
 |
| It's moving day! |
Definitely drop by at https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/blog and have a look. Oh, and you can also just go to the home page of MichaelJayTucker.com and click on “Xcargo” at the top of the page.
I’ll leave all my older Xcargo postings here. So you’ll always be able to find them if you want them.
In the meanwhile, come on over to MichaelJayTucker.com and https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/blog
I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

Well, everyone, like it says, Happy Birthday to America on this Fourth of July. May the nation know many long and happy centuries to come.
I am quite serious about that. I am, in my own way, an American nationalist. I believe that who we are, as a country, something good, and important. Yes, I suppose, on some weird level, I evn believe in American exceptionalism.
And I hope, truly, that we will soon exit this time of troubles, and that under another president, and with a different Congress, we will find our way forward, to greater wisdom, greater achievement, and greater happiness.

One quick note. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be moving this blog to my own website, which is MichaelJayTucker.com. Very shortly, explosive-cargo will be here: https://www.michaeljaytucker.com/blog. So, do check it out.
cheers

About me: I’m a writer and former journalist who has published material on everything from computers to the Jazz Age. (Among my small claims to fame is that I interviewed Steve Jobs just after that talented if complicated man got kicked out of Apple, and just before the company’s Board came begging him to come back.)

Looking forward to meeting you!
So now we learn that Russia was offering bounties for the lives of American soldiers. We also learn, or at least strongly suspect, that Trump knew about this from the beginning, and he either didn’t care, or didn’t notice when the information was presented to him in a national security brief.
In other words, holy crap.
I keep thinking, each time Trump does something incredibly stupid or fascistic that, “Right, here it is, he can’t keep going, this is the end...”
But, then, somehow, his supporters find a way around it. They decide that it is Fake News, or a Liberal Hoax, or, well, fill in the blank.
It is astonishing. It is amazing. It is an exercise in willful disbelief that is truly one for the ages. You have to stand in awe at their capacity for not believing the obvious.
But, then, why should I be surprised? They have so far managed to overlook the deaths of over 126,000 Americans from Covid-19 (as of this date), which Trump continues to downplay or ignore. Why should a little thing like the murder of Americans in uniform penetrate the concrete?
So...what will make them sit up and take notice? What will make them wonder if, after all, their hero is actually leading them to their destruction?
Maybe nothing. Maybe they will not notice...not even when they have entered the abattoir, and are marching with smiling faces (but not masks!) to the blade itself, and never even noticing when it enters the flesh and begins the grisly business...
Of the slaughter.
