Anyone out there feel like Chicken Little waiting for the sky to fall? Reading the news this morning, contemplating the multi million dollar boondoggle we are headed into if we do not cut this Atlantic bid off at the knees, I wonder what is next? Will it be a worry over all of us today that our Navy has deliberately sailed into what the Chinese feel is their water, and now what? Will they allow their protégé, North Korea, to take up the cudgel for them? What is happening? And in other foreign news, we have blown our sharing information status with the British as pictures of the bomb and other info was published and disseminated here in the USA including in the Times. What are we doing?
Betsy De Vos, the imbecile who is worried about grizzlies in schools as a reason for allowing guns in school, adding to her "luster' by saying that discrimination against LGBT kids in vouchered schools is acceptable and allowed, that she avoids the accountability question re vouchered schools, denies that they will be funneling public monies from high poverty schools to these schools and the list just goes on. Ben Carson, and where the hell is his head at, now blames poverty on a "mindset" of people, that they inculcate it, internalize it, within their baby minds!! That if the mindset is there it is hopeless, for even giving one everything, the mindset would cause them to lose it, so what, now we devise a test for this? Do we let those we think have this "mindset' to die in poverty? And this is a doctor? And this is the head of Housing? My head is spinning. As should yours!
But there is more. The GOP candidate in Montana, who says he is just like Trump, ahem, is arrested for assault! Atta boy, just the way to solve disputes and get rid of the "false media"! And the CBO, the Budget Office, states that the "new" Republican bill will raise the health bill for older and poorer seniors by 850%!!! What the hell are we doing? Is this eugenics by another name? At least advertisers are pulling ads from Hannity's show for his bizarre campaign about Seth Rich, the kid killed, and blaming it on an arcane and ridiculous conspiracy of the Democrats!! How far will we go down this nonsensical and dangerous path? Will we ever be able to unravel all the lies of this administration, all their uncivilized behavior to put it politely, and get back to at least a kissing cousin to the truth? !
And how about locally? What are we doing next Friday? Are we going to fall into the hands of another multi million dollar mess at the hands of David Israel and crew? We had a mess with the paving with which we are living. We escaped another mess with DSL no thanks to him for with him we would have still been eating the consequences. Now he is pushing Atlantic, a baby company, pushing them over our deal and relationship with Comcast, the big guy in this field. There is a survey by a crew for AT &T about possibilities so if they are doing a survey why did Atlantic not do one to check feasibility, and why are we rushing into the Atlantic contract, one so weighted for Atlantic's benefit, that we are truly asses to sign. We might as well just open our coffers and let them freely take from it until it is gone and then what? Guess we will all just have to turn to the radio in the living rooms again!! And by the way, who among you ever signed a contract, agreed to it, without all the details, without it being complete?
What are we doing next Friday at the DA? Are we going to do the right thing and demand that the vote be put off till a Town Hall in the fall when the residents return? Are we going to vote down Atlantic, using our brains rather than sitting on them, getting concussions every time we move?! What are we doing?
The lies that float around the Village, the lies that float around the country - are part and parcel of the same class and mode of thinking. We allow our government to treat us with contempt, to not only avoid the truth, but to tell outright lies. The more we allow, the harder it will be to unravel and set straight.
Nationally we are in a big mess and how to solve, what to do if our sitting President is actually charged with criminal offenses, with possible treason charges waiting in the wing, and watching a whole slew of people in the administration follow right along - what a F$#)^^#**^{&!!!!!
And as for here, in the Village - time to wake up, smell the orange juice (it is Florida) and do the right thing for all the residents and not just to assuage David's itches!!
Let us tell the truth for a change, here and everywhere. Let us unravel the messes. Let us deny all those who would shut down America, shut down the Constitution. Let us walk in the proper paths for a change. We are dangerously close to a red line of our own. Woe upon us all should we go past it, be it here or nationally speaking. Woe upon us!! It is that serious. If we do not do something to stave this off we will be in the unenviable position of the Carrier workers whose "saved" jobs begin disappearing as of July 20th. Listen, people. Think, people. Let us help ourselves before it is too late.
