There is that segment of society which leads a glitzy life. They have their toys, their prerogatives and their arrogance. But, a major but, there is that tarnish beneath that is sure to come thru and arouse the disgust of the world. It is the classic feet of lead that disgusts the world.
Let's take on our local world first. Palm Beach County has a reputation that is non too clean and hopefully this election will help clean it up, but there is another local administration that seems to get worse and worse. That is the one at present in CVWPB. Their latest post is truly over the top or jumped the shark or has reached its lowest point yet - take your pick.
Today, with the oh so great understanding of Elaine Brown and Lanny Howe, two definite gasbags who do nothing but whine on demand for their master, David Israel, have decided amongst the two of them, with, I am sure, the definite input of their master, that all who oppose David are evil - yes, evil. Next step, I guess, is to call opponents the minions of Satan and perhaps we can look forward to a burning of heretics as well!
What the hell - oops - is the matter with them and their leader. Opposition is argumentative by its very nature. It is a natural thing to have opponents. It is normal, but evidently normal is not the state of normality here in the Village so.....here is a fitting coda to your accusation of evil - Go. To. Hell. And by the way, people, those who use dirty tricks are often afraid of the truth so please - vote Marcia, no Fossil, and yes to Ed Grossman. These are the names one needs for tomorrow's election here in the Village.
And now, to the grand stage of life. We all can see the dirtiness of politics creeping, running, into international politics what with so many countries turning from the democracy they had established and returning to the dark days of dictatorships, political dangerous shenanigans, imprisonment of opponents, and sorry, that will not work here in the Village - and all the hatred and prejudice that can be ginned up in order to rouse the rabble. Bad, very bad.
However, what is most shocking to so many of us is the threat to the glory of the democracy of our country, once a leader and example for the world to follow. We now have the equivalent of the Keystone Kops in our political presumed leaders, G-d help us, but their antics are not funny, but rather frightening and dangerous - as well as stupid.
How many more Secretaries are going to spend money on plush travel, having the taxpayers pay for their wives, fiddle with the emails and invoices, overpay - you think - on their offices and their refurbishment even as they slash funds from those programs that actually help people in need and keep our country in clean air and water. Do they think we are so blind?
The latest wonder of these people is the 9th tie breaking vote of Pence, this one to confirm the hiring of Vought as deputy director in the Office of Management and Budget where he will work with the ninth wonder of the world, Mick Mulvaney, who has yet to meet a social safety net program he approves of!! This Vought has stated openly that "Muslims do not know G-d because they have rejected Jesus Christ His Son, and they stand condemned." Well guess that includes all the rest of us who do not accept the belief of Christ the Son, - darn, there are those pesky Jews again - no insult meant but simply pointing out that there are differences in religion, but all are supposed to be gateways to the right paths of life. If that does not send shudders down your spine if you know anything at all about religious scary condemning statements like that, well, call me and we will have a series of lessons on it!
Eleven communications directors, two Secretaries of State, a seemingly infinite series of truths being uncovered and watch that tarnish grow. The chief calligrapher has top secret clearance, Kushner now is exposed over loans he received for his businesses , you now, the extra large ones for the businesses he supposedly divested of. Ahem!!! How many more flawed individuals who do not deserve nor have earned their positions. How many more till this government collapses, especially with a morally corrupt and way, way tarnished individual at the helm?
Sales of homes are now dropping - bad sign. The market keeps majorly tanking. Lehigh University wants to withdraw the honorary degree once given to Trump. The man himself now threatens to punish California by not rebuilding a wall they do not even want though he maintains they are screaming for it. Delusions. The man states one thing at one minute after the hour and by two minutes states the direct opposite. His statements, his words, are not to be trusted. Keystone indeed!
But wait! Is that an area shining thru? Is there hope yet in this administration? Oh wait, it is just Ivanka polishing one of her dumb statements. Yet another disappointment. Well, perhaps Melania's statements will help, like when she supposedly takes on cyberbullying, or mourns the dangers to our children, but no again, she is too busy getting exceptions for her immigrant parents and ignoring the directly or diametrically opposed actions of her husband. Well, maybe another of her ridiculously overpriced outfits will take our minds off this sordid business.
Not really! Dangerous Keystone people here. Dangerous to ignore them. Dangerous to overlook the tarnish. Very much so.
