OW INDEED!

     Not quite sue what hurts me most right now. Took a misstep yesterday that has my left side in knots, screeching with every move - or rather every attempt to move. Thank heavens that I have recently learned how to fall better and how to get up properly. Does not take away the hurt, the 'owie' of it all, but it does help and I know it could have been worse. Well, at least I finished with Disney before the fall.
     And speaking of Disney,  whether you like the place or not, you must, must, go to Animal Kingdom and see Pandora. OMG! The imagination and the magic of it all!! Ever been on Soaring in Epcot; well, this is the same idea but like a model T is compared to a Tesla!! Wow, wow, wow! Words, pictures, nothing will do but physical presence and experience. No 'ow' here. For sure.
     But there is an 'ow' present in our world of policies and beliefs. In fact, it is more than that. It is a true present and clear danger to our country, to the democracy in which we live, to our very structure. For a President who is already known for his fascist tendencies and dictatorial ideas and wishes, who admires the worst of the worst of the world's nasty leaders - for that man to say that "we have horrible, horrible, very bad laws here  .....and we are going to be doing something, something military..." my heart is pierced. Yes, there have been cases where National Guard troops have been dispatched but not for a similar reason,  but this man wants to dispatch the regular Army! Posse commitatus!!! The regular army is not allowed to be dispersed, boots on the ground, within the country, barring, I guess, some drastic emergency. Like maybe our own version of Godzilla!! (Our Godzilla is in fact the very man sitting in the White House, when he is not out there playing golf!) There is none at the present moment, despite all his posturing. I cannot believe his so called base, the extreme end of it, will approve as they are always screaming about the black helicopters and troops that are waiting to take over. But on this man rants and as his advisers and aides get more extreme as the others quit, as the sanity quotient is falling day by day - no, hour by hour - the 'owie' of it all is overwhelming. If anyone out there thinks that this man would stop with some border work, wow, do you have another think coming. The civil war that I have long feared would break out, if not immediately, then soon enough.
     This man is now a subject of investigation, the step before the final act - being accused and hopefully brought to trial and being impeached, convicted and gone!! Please!! Our country depends on that series of events, unless it comes to the worst and he has to be removed by force and by a decision of Congress - if they can ever find their backbone!!
     Look at the danger signs. If you have recently watched a news show you might have seen the anchor robotically reading how they "pledge" to fight for fair news, to guard against 'fake news" yet that is what they were NOT doing. In fact, they were told to read this, the exact words, all over the country!!! All by a pro Trump media giant. 1984 anyone? Scared yet? Well, how abut this? There is an entire website devoted to trying to defame that wonderful young man, David Hogg, calling him an actor, the whole Parkland a fake put on and I just vomit when I read this.
     But there is hope. In Wisconsin a liberal judge won. In Texas there is a well funded opponent to Ted Cruz. Trump's approval rating continues to suck, as they say in the vernacular, and as the elections in November draw nigh, we can see a glimmer of hope, a hope that perhaps we can actually turn Congress towards the direction of sanity, of humanity, of democracy. And then, and then, and then...... dare we hope that he will either resign or be consigned to an institution for the demented, the dangerously demented? No 'ow' there!! Just us saving our country.
