Life in the Day

 Damn! Another five days gone by. I’m certainly not on my toes for this job, now am I? Oh well not much is happening. My representative in the Congress passed away, the apparent Democratic presidential nominee came here this week, the current President will be here tomorrow, and then soon to be President Kamala will return again on Thursday the first! That’s a lot for our small town! And it’s in a red state to boot! Whaddaya think they think they’ll get outta all these visits? Votes? Hah, not in Texxas, but it’s not for lack of trying, that’s fer sure!  Our Rep in Congress, Sheila Jackson Lee (RIP) also ran recently for mayor here, but lost to a local politician. In a way, I’m glad that didn’t happen for us here in H-Town, but does that mean the Guv’nor Hot Wheelz will do the selecting in her absentia? I’ve heard rumors that that’s not how it’s done. But my law license expired the year before I was born.  Actually my Daddy was a Lawyer type, (we all call our fathers Daddy...

 Oh my, it’s five days later and I’m being a lazy slug. Oh well, nothing happened since my last post. Well, maybe a little on the electoral front . . . Who am I kidding? An incumbent running for re-election to the highest office in the whole world steps down from running ‘cause people made him feel to old! Isn’t that age discrimination? He can’t sue the entire population, nor can he even sue individuals, as there were many, many respected legislators and a few ‘Publicans in Congress who voiced their opinions he was too old. He wasn’t and isn’t. He’s smart as a whip, but age does slow us all down. These blogs of mine take much, much longer now that my hands are screaming in pain from arthritis! But I can still think. Well, maybe not like the President but regardless of what my significant other says, I have some common sense. And the other candidate in the race certainly doesn’t have a lot of that virtue. Or any other virtue that I can discern.  What’s done is done. Ol’ Joe is ...

 By golly, it’s been another four days. What a four day life we’re having here in what’s left of the U.S. of A. One party is nominating a convicted felon with a horrible track record as president as I write this, while the other party is trying to oust the duly primarily-elected nominee ‘cause he is older than the other candidate. Just because the older guy has one of the best records for the country on the economy, on jobs, on social issues and the like doesn’t mean we can’t dump him? Out with old and in with the inexperienced. Some people have forgotten we tried that in 2016 to 2021. Some people have forgotten that history can repeat itself, even if that history was made just 8 years ago. Being old at this time to me is a blessing. Just from the last two months I cannot see living in this country much longer. Evil is good. Autocracy with a king like figure and his chosen court of obsequious followers is what we as a nation rebelled from almost 250 years ago. Historically though, ...

 You would think I did this a lot, but as you see I can procrastinate with the best of them! And congratulations to the former President #45 for being smarter that an assassin’s bullet. I’m not sure, but I think this is our first presidential assassin who died at the scene. The Secret Service must be gettin’ more practice in at the range these days! Seems like an important part of the job - more so now! At least we won’t be burdened with this idiot’s questioning and a trial and all that. I’m sure the ‘Publicans can determine what made him do it. They love to promote conspiracy theories as fact, especially if it makes them look good!  I can’t wait to hear how this will reinforce the second amendment clause. As we know down here in Texxas, it’s just a matter of time before we can happily go back to the days of the Wild Wild West and the fastest trigger is the rule of law. Well, at least until that AI stuff takes over, and then we won’t have to worry about anything, as that highe...

 Now it’s four days after my good friend Beryl came to visit me as well as several million of her other close friends here in H-Town. However some others of her friends are not so happy about her visit. It seems they were less than prepared for the kinds of things she likes to do.  For example, all the old oak trees are used to visits from her relatives, but still moan, groan or just fall over at her and her relatives’ brazen ways! Nothing new, as it’s been going on for eons - even before sacred Texas was a state! Don’t believe me? Look up Indianola in a history book. And those folks didn’t have electricity! Now there’s a topic that has many if the hosts here in town ready to have vigilante rule! String up those robber barons who didn’t prepare enough for the dear lady’s arrival! Why, we can send a man to the moon, so how come we can’t keep power on from a little wind? We pay good money to keep that 21st century bloodline pumping, just like we cherish the fossil fuels our lead...

 A new day. I skipped a few to allow for the fourth. I’m in my Aerie and watching the bands of Beryl swing through as she gets nearer. I’m glad we don’t have global warming or climate change to deal with! But seriously, H-Town is lucky that she is doing her dance quickly, and will soon sashay outta town towards that Huckabee crowd in Ar-Kansas. They need to cool off some!  I had a new way of looking at the MAGA crowd. What everyone that suppsrted it originally was it was to improve the country. Instead. We are finding out that MAGA doesn’t stand for that at all! Great again? Heck no! It stands for Make America Go Away! That whole Federalist Society Program 2025 or whatever - it’s just the blueprint that I am sure Putin’s minions delivered for his world domination scheme. What better puppet than a charismatic idiot who doesn’t wanna know anything except fame and fortune. Sadly, he has brainwashed his ‘base’ to give him just what he wanted. Vindictive power for retribution....

 So today is the 248th anniversary of colonists from England declaring their independence from being ruled by a king. You would have to chuckle at the irony of the Supreme Court this week announcing that a sitting President is immune from any activities he takes in office. This power is frightening. The current President is against it. Like one of the Justices stated in her profound rejection of the notion of official immunity, “I dissent.” leaving out the time honored rhetorical courtesy ‘respectfully.’ This current SCOTUS is definitely out of whack.  What amazes me is that the less radical side has taken the conservative approach. Laissez faire. Leave it alone. This respectful tenor comes on the heels of a president who is showing signs of mental and physical weakness - more physical than mental. The ruling by SCOTUS has been given out. The Democrats are crying ‘foul’ (correctly so) but have missed the boat. Our current President has been given the power to imprison his poli...

 I have decided to inform the world if my opinions. Doing my own blog is the only way I can figure out how to let people I don’t know of my opinions. This will be a diary for me with all current events I need to discuss, even if no one else is listening. As I am very politically opinionated, I expect no responses to this blog. I cannot even imagine making money off of it, so off I go, into the wild electronic wonder . . .  Hmmmm. Is it blue? Am I blue? What am I going to do without you?!?
