n. a highly inflated conception of one’s importance, power, or capabilities, as can be observed in many individuals with mania and paranoid schizophrenia. In the latter, megalomania is often accompanied or preceded by delusions of persecution.  -APA Psychology

Megalomania is an obsession with power and wealth, and a passion for grand schemes. -Wikipedia

A megalomaniac is an individual who has an obsessive desire for power and dominance, often accompanied by delusions of grandeur and an inflated sense of self-importance. Megalomaniacs typically exhibit an excessive preoccupation with their own abilities, achievements, and importance, believing themselves to be superior to others. This condition can manifest in various ways, including a relentless pursuit of power, control, and admiration, as well as a lack of empathy for others. Megalomania is often associated with narcissistic personality disorder and can lead to manipulative and exploitative behavior. -wengood.com

Sound familiar?

An example of megalomania is thinking we can annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal by simply tweeting about it. 

Another example of megalomania is taking too much ketamine (noted for inducing a psychotic manic episode) which can make one think you should interfere with and control world politics. 

THE BIGGEST LIES AND LIARS IN 2024.

 LIE: Former President Donald Trump, during Tuesday’s presidential debate, repeated a baseless and sensationalist claim about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating dogs and other pets. "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats," Trump said during an answer to a question about immigration. "They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."-NBC NEWS

TRUTH: A spokesperson for the city of Springfield told ABC News these claims are false, and that there have been "no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals in the immigrant community."-ABC NEWS

LIE: President Joe Biden said in an interview Thursday he would not pardon his son, Hunter Biden, if he’s found guilty of criminal federal gun charges. When asked by interviewer David Muir of ABC if he would rule out pardoning Hunter Biden, the president said, “Yes.” He also affirmed he would accept the outcome of the trial, currently underway in Delaware. -CNN

TRUTH: President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who faced sentencing this month for federal tax and gun convictions, marking a reversal as he prepares to leave office. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” the president said in a statement. It is a “full and unconditional pardon,” according to a copy of the executive grant of clemency. -CNN

LIE: “Prices will come down,” Trump told voters during a speech last week laying out his vision for a return to the White House. “You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.” -CNN

TRUTH: President-elect Donald Trump admitted in an interview with Time magazine that it will be difficult for him to reduce consumer prices, contrary to statements he made on the campaign trail this year. TRUMP told Time in an hourlong interview for its “Person of the Year” feature that his presidency wouldn’t be a failure if he failed to bring the price of groceries down. “I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will,” Trump said. -HUFF POST

LIE: "Yes they can control the weather," Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X last week, after Hurricane Helene swept across the Southeastern U.S., killing at least 227 people. "It's ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can't be done." Greene didn't specify who "they" were. She then posted an image of Helene overlaid on an electoral map, suggesting that the hurricane's path had been intentionally set in motion to target Republican-leaning counties. -MSN

TRUTH:  Federal forecasters (from NOAA) have been forced to deny they control the weather after Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others spread misinformation online. -THE INDEPENDENT

OUR NEW PSYCHOACTIVE PRESIDENT

 

In a recent interview, Elon Musk revealed that he has a prescription for ketamine to treat depression. Ketamine is a powerful anesthetic that research indicates can help treat depression, but it is not currently FDA-approved for that or any other psychiatric indication. 

What is Ketamine? Ketamine hydrochloride is an FDA-approved anesthetic that was developed some fifty years ago and is still used today. It is a Schedule III non-narcotic substance, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, and has currently accepted medical uses. 

But Ketamine also has a reputation as an illicit party drug that is known to cause hallucinations and a relaxed, disconnected feeling. -Healthline

Elonia has probably conveniently forgotten what ketamine did to Matthew Perry.

The Weaponization of Rage

 

Ranting, raving, screaming, yelling, threats, intimidation, demeaning language, fury, uncontrolled anger, violent outbursts, verbal assaults, aggressiveness, and temper tantrums are all hallmarks of Trump's legacy of rage on our culture. His wrathful influence did not start with him, nor it will end with him. Most likely he patterned his rageaholic personality from his vengeful controlling father. He honed his lifetime of affluenza rage by trademarking it into the MAGA brand. 

Wrath, or extreme rage, is one of the seven deadly sins. Even if you're not a believer in religious teachings, the seven deadly sins (Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Pride, Sloth, Wrath) are an insightful guide to potentially problematic behaviors, and when uncontrolled, will almost certainly lead to destructive impulses and consequences. Trump is guilty of all of them, but it appears his favorite is wrath. Like most authoritarian dictators, he channels and exports his wrath because strong emotional rage is more addictive than heroin and more contagious than measles. Rage is a psychological tsunami justifying revenge by eliminating perceived enemies. It ensnares the fomenting angry with senseless meth-like energy to rise up to exact revenge. January 6th is just one of its outcomes. 

Rage is not just an avenue for Trump, though he is quick to utilize its intoxicating power. We see it in all shootings, the rise in settling scores with lethal force, and the intolerance of divergent views. To put it simply, it's my way or the automatic weapon way in your face. Rage is a reaction to avoid feeling helpless and hopeless. It preys upon the emotionally and spiritually bankrupt. That's what makes it a deadly sin.

Luigi Mangione is an example of how pernicious rage can be quickly radicalized. This young man from an extremely wealthy family, devolved into a rage spiral as a result of medical limitations following surgery. He could not fathom that this capricious fate should happen to such a privileged intelligent man in his twenties. As his limitations became intolerable, he immersed himself into the blame dogma (a la Ted Kaczynski & Trump) focusing on retribution of his supposed 'oppressors'. His rage killing inspired many health insurance victims to revere him as a hero. Yes, rage is blindingly contagious, eliminating any chance of mercy or empathy. 

Combatting the power of rage seems insurmountable. So, what is the answer? The Buddhists believe that even if your anger is justified, it will not bring you peace of mind. The Catholics, who are proponents of the seven deadly sins, believe wrath is best offset by gentleness, self-control, patience, and peace. Easier said than done. In this age of instant gratification, practicing self-control, patience, and abstaining from violence requires mindfulness and restraint. It is our only hope in this era of rage. 

JD Vance Can't Help Channeling HIs Inner Trans

 

Unbelievably, Vance outed himself over Thanksgiving. Does Melania suspect Vance of secretly wanting to take over her role as Trump's pseudo-wife? My guess is that she's relieved not to have to sleep with him anymore or make another turkey.

New Version of I Shall Not Despair

Originally published in December 2020:

I am tired of being pushed around
By insurrectionists trying to shout me down
Bastardizing justice, inducing fear
No, I shall not fall into despair.

Chicanery lording over me
Sophistry offered as a remedy
Rolling off their tongues without a care
Still, I will not be led into despair.

From the powerful white old men in justice
To political frauds saying trust us
Spreading their deceit while reciting the Lord's Prayer
Nay, I won't be bamboozled into despair.

Muzzling sexual exploitation
With a sparkling explanation 
Pronouncing the rape was a consensual affair
Will make me angry instead of despair.

My body is not their constitutional vessel
For their controlling legislative wrestle
Denying my bodily freedom with conservative fanfare
Will have me marching but not consumed with despair.

Protecting a dictator's orange lying ways
Absolving atrocities because you're afraid
Malfeasance abounds but I bid you beware
I have the power to overcome and won't despair.
