Make America Great Again Again
03/06/20 07:06
It's going to be a busy day. I'll be tuning into the Senate hearings at 10am when Rod Rosenstein will be testifying about his involvement in the whole Trump and Russia collusion nonsense which we all now know was a sham. It was a deliberate attempt by the deep state actors, or Obama holdovers I like to say, to prevent Trump from getting into office in 2016 or to oust Trump from office if elected. His drubbing Hillary Clinton in 2016 was just a bridge too far so Obama's cronies thad to weaponize any number of governmental agencies to do what Hillary Clinton could not do on election night.
I have to take a trip to Trader Joe's too so I'd like to arrange to get there a little after eight. If the timing works out all right, and the rain doesn't start sooner than expected, I'll be on my bike at 9 so I can be back for the hearings at 10. A little later this afternoon, we're expecting a delivery which is basically dinner in a box. When Nancy read me the description of the meal that we ordered, it was mouth watering to say the least. The only justice I can do to that particular description would be to copy and paste it but I'm not going to do that here.
It's a dinner for four so Evan is over to enjoy the meal with us. Did I mention that they delivered our new refrigerator yesterday? She's a beauty! I've never been more excited about an appliance in my life. Nancy mention that she thought it was instructive that we purchased the unit that we did. She's talking about the fact that I said that I would never buy another Samsung refrigerator because of the problem that we had with the Samsung that they took away yesterday when they delivered the new refrigerator.
That is to say, frost and ice began to build up on the inside of the refrigerator against the back wall and it was wreaking havoc with the cooling mechanism. What I didn't realize was that the refrigerator was in decline due to age rather than some random mechanical failure. I just had no idea really about how long you could expect a refrigerator to last so gave zero thought to any of it until it was too late. Had I realized any of this sooner I might have gone looking for a replacement sooner. That would have saved us all a lot of angst.
The instructive part was that I had convinced myself that I would never buy another Samsung because of the cooling problem. Well, that went out the window when we found a Samsung unit that was just the bees knees. It was almost identical to our older refrigerator but 10 years newer so maybe they had worked out a few of the kinks in the intervening years. I guess you could say that there were a lot of things we liked about that old refrigerator and throwing the baby out with the bath water when buying a replacement did not mean we would not go with something other than a Samsung.
So there's that. Nancy said that she would never own a stainless steel refrigerator and now, with our new purchase, we are the proud new owners of a stainless steel refrigerator. Like I said, it's the bees knees stainless steel and all. It actually complements our other appliances and the overall look of our kitchen when all is said and done. The only regret we have at the moment is that we didn't keep the removable butter tray which is odd because we removed and kept all the other plastic tray inserts from the doors of the old unit.
And to have a refrigerator that works? It's priceless. When I think about how the old refrigerator just got worse and worse and how the cooling became less and less reliable it reminds me of the frog in the boiling water business. Before we knew it we were throwing a thermometer inside the refrigerator at night because we could tell the temperatures weren't what they should be but we couldn't rely on the gauges anymore. Things were cold but were they cold enough? Were things going bad because the temperatures were dropping by a degree a day with each passing day? And what is that god awful smell?
This rioting bullshit has gone too far. Have you seen the pictures of the soldiers taking a knee in sympathy with the protestors? It makes me fucking sick. And if it's true that the rioters and looters arrested in these democrat controlled cities across our country are being set free once collared and hauled in for processing then that is a colossal travesty of justice. Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that they turn right around and go back to doing what they were doing when they were arrested? What message are the democrat politicians sending to their god fearing business owning responsible citizenry? Here it is: Fuck you and the racist horse you rode in on.
The thought of these democrats running our country after winning the presidential election in the Fall is beyond the pale. Not one high profile democrat has raised their voice to say enough is enough. How many more policemen need to lose their lives trying to protect their citizenry? How many more businesses need to be gutted and destroyed at the hands of these anarchists? How many more cities across our great nation need to be roiled for yet another night with roving gangs that have hijacked an otherwise honorable and lawful protest? ? How many more law abiding citizens need to take up arms to protect themselves and their property from the criminals roving our streets?
I don't think President Trump wants to have the National Guard go into the major cities to help enforce the laws but if the elected politicians can't get the job done then they may force his hand. It has to break his heart to see the city that he grew up in, the city that is home to his crown jewel, Trump Towers, get torn down and destroyed at the hands of these roving criminal gangs. It must be even more painful for Trump to see the city's democrat mayor appeasing the criminal gangs and implicitly endorsing their criminal activity. Without law and order, there will be no city. It's a travesty beyond compare.
Barely a week or two ago you couldn't attend a church of your choice because of the pandemic that has taken some 100,000 lives on our country. Social distancing and masks were the order of the day and some states had begun to relax their rules in order to get our country open again. The blue states were less flexible in their approach and most extended their "stay at home" mandates in order to keep their citizens "safe." The red states, and many of which had very few cases of the virus within their borders, started getting back to normal slowly but surely. Time would tell which political party had the better argument.
After George Floyd died with the knee of the white policeman wedged into his carotid artery for a full eight horrendously painful seconds that all changed. You heard not a goddamn peep from these blue state governors and mayors about anything related to social distancing, masks, gatherings of more than whatever, etc. It was George Floyd and Black Lives Matter 24-7. Was there ever really a pandemic problem? Was it really nothing more than a ruse to destroy the economy and along with it Trump's chances at re-election? Are they really that desperate to take the reins of power again?
Knowing what we know now, but having suspected it all along, about the democrats and their utter disregard and even contempt for everything that American represents, is this a party that deserves the responsibility that goes along with ascending to the Presidency? Do they have the moral high ground or wherewithal with which to govern? Is there a compelling reason to want to see their policies enacted? Is the fervor of their constituency as seen in the riots that we are witnessing now a vision that we as a country are comfortable with longer term? I not only say "no", I say "hell no!"
So, where are we now one week out or so from the alleged murder of one George Floyd? Things have quieted down a little bit so that's good. There are fewer protests and the protests that they do have are less volatile with fewer people getting hurt on the streets of our cities especially after dark. The stock market rallied yesterday on news that our country actually gained jobs when the expected result was just the opposite. President Trump had a press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House to remind everyone that our country is getting on with things and the unemployment numbers were living proof of same.
The press no longer practiced social distancing in the Rose Garden and seats were set apart as they normally were before this pandemic began. I think the media was hard pressed to complain about that if they never raised their voices one way or another about the massive protests coast to coast where protestors, anarchists, and Black Lives Matter revelers stood shoulder to shoulder. But the President was buoyant and talkative and went on for about an hour mostly extemporaneously about the greatness of our country and how the rebound was on track. Reportedly, CNN was the only network not to carry Trump's speech.
Trump did say that our country is making great progress on the unemployment front without key cities that usually factor large in any such metrics being in the mix. That is to say, New York, California, and a number of other democratic bastions are not up and running to the extent that the red states are so that makes the figures being reported that much more amazing. Just think what it's going look like when everyone else is on board.
As for those people who had money in the stock market and who hadn't pulled it out when the market lost 35% of its value at the low just a few weeks ago, they have been richly rewarded by a largely V-shaped recovery. The S&P is just a percentage point or two off it's all time high and that is quite remarkable. None of the economists got it right. There was no depression and not even the hint of a recession now as we look back on it all. Trump gave us one of the strongest economies in the world before the pandemic and it looks like he's going to do it all over again. I've seen this idea for trump's logo floating around and I think it's perfect: Make America Great Again Again!
I can see Trump and his people yesterday giving high fives all around while standing back stage and discussing the unbelieveably great unemployment numbers before he stepped up to the podium in the Rose Garden at the White House. Protests? What protests? He took a well deserved victory lap in the Rose Garden and ended his day by visiting a swab making factory in northern Maine. While there he signed an executive order reversing an executive order by Obama that declared an expansive section of the North Atlantic off limits to the fisherman of Maine. It's a game changer, folks. This should put Maine in the red column come election day.
I have to take a trip to Trader Joe's too so I'd like to arrange to get there a little after eight.
