Wrong Again

Well, Igott that one wring. The military is now running America and I thought they might bring some discipline and sanity to the land. Nope. Discipline? Yes. Sanity? No.

Trump is re0starting the war on Aphgabisran to stop terrorism, to stop ISIS. Sorry, that ship sailed long ago. ISIS is Worldwide, feeding on poverty and ignorance, traits common to all lands, This is what his generals want and this shows their total lack of sanity.

We cannot win that war. First off, we have no definition of what winning there would be. We may destroy the anti-government forces, for awhile, but they would just come back when we leave. If course we could stay forever, but we cannot afford that since we are flat broke.

What do we want there? That wretched land had rocks and sand, goats, opium, hashish, and folks who love to fight. We have plenty of rocks and sand, we grow vast amounts of marijuana and so much opium here already that folks are dropping like flies from addiction. We raise lots of goats and we certainly have too many folks who like to fight.

The real r4eason? Rea dOrwell's 1094. Nations fought constant battles over useless land, supposedly to stop terrorsits. It was all a sham. They used fear and pseudo-patriotism to keep populations in line. Why? The simple love of power. This is insanity and I am afraid those wielding power in our once freat Nation are quite insane..

America Hang In We may be Alright After All

I have not written in a while because I just had nothing to say. I do now.

First the disgraceful behavior in Virginia. Trump got that one right. There is plenty of blame on all sides. The white supremacist groups are idiots. They all need to go home, grow up. and make something of their ;lives. If all they have to do is stomp around, acting tough, then they are pathetic. And the counterdemonstrators may be even dumber. Those neo-Nazis want a confrontation Ignore them and they just look idiotic. Fight them and they get attention and they will use that to gather more poor stupid souls to their groups.

Now, a good thing. President Trump is losing control of the White House. How cab that be good? Priebys is gone, meaning that the old Washington hacks are out, Scaramicci is gone, so some Wall Street influence is gone. Bannon is being pushed aside, so the fringe right is leaving. That leaves who" The military. These are intelligent, reasonable, disciplined men  and women. They areserious and god knows we need serious, effective people in charge. They will keep Trump in ;ine. That, O am sure was the plan all along.i

America - Strange Days Have Found Us

In the late 60s, the Doors did a song, Strange Days, that is fitting today. It portrayed a society that seemed to have started unravelling. Well, right now, the threads are flying apart at a frantic rate.

Donald Trump was elected on a series of promises, solemn oaths, made to the American people, specifically white, blue collar Americans. Right now, starting the day after the election, in fact, he started back pedaling from those promises at a furious rate. He is now hinting the Mexican wall is figurative, he won't go after Hillary, he may stick with the Climate accord agreement, and some of Obama care is alright. Oh, by the way, that ban on Muslim immigration? That is being changed to extreme vetting. Funny, I heard Obama use that same term and I heard Trump excoriate him for that

Let me tell you this. The one thing that you can bet your next paycheck on is that he will immediately oversee the lowering of tax rates for the rich.

He cannot bring jobs back to the US because he will not get support from establishment Republicans. In addition, many of the lost jobs were lost to automation and, trust me, factories are not going to put that genie back in the bottle.

He swore that we would not become involved in nation building. Well, Castro just died and already he is talking about putting pressure on Cuba to change its ways.

We are seeing a wave of military personnel being given control of  key parts of the Government. The thing is, the military thrives on war, and I believe we have seen enough of that. They also thrive on money, and Trump has sworn to rebuild our tattered military. Now, how he is going to do that while cutting taxes is beyond me, or any remotely sane person who can add and subtract.

On top of that, Jill Stein has conned people into giving her a whole bunch of money to have the votes recounted in at least one, and possibly three, states. This is a doomed and silly effort. You can be sure that the guy the Powers That Be Want in there, got elected and will stay elected. It does seem that said Powers have had a little internal spat, but the winning side is the side that picked Donald, and they will have their way.

Now, we have just had a lone gunman shooting up the Ohio State University campus. Conveniently, he is dead. Funny how we never can take one of those guys alive. Cops settle hostage crises frequently without the bad guy getting killed, but get one of these supposedly random shootings and they just cannot manage it. And, now there are reports of a second shooter. I, again will bet that the second shooter will soon be declared non-existent. The is another funny thing about these mass shooting scenarios,

Strange days, indeed. Hold on tight. Thins are going to get a wee bit bumpy.
