THE GRINCH IS ALIVE AND WELL

     Apparently, there are people who are not worried about messing around with the joys and holidays of others. Nor are they worried about the impact of their misdeeds and crude remarks on others so they just keep shooting their mouths off.
     Guess who the chief Grinch is? Oh, yeah, got it in one, didn't you? This guy needs to be number one in whatever he does, does he not! Okay, so let us count the ways he fulfills his role or better yet, what he has gifted us for the twelve days of Christmas.
     1. He has appointed a proponent of the Space Battalion to the post of Secretary of Defense, so pay attention, folks, to the skies, for one never knows now what we will be paying for! Alien alert!!
     2. In conjunction with Day One, we now have combat troops collecting Ids, rolling out concertina wars, playing cards in the deserts of the borders instead of going home for the holidays. Medical companies are building aid stations in the southwest instead of preparing for their deployment. And perhaps that is a good thing as ….
     3. We appear, or rather he appears to think that  it is okay to be dropping a group of over 200 migrants at a small bus terminal in El Paso, so small that many had to stand outside in the cold. Did Greyhound know about this? Nope, for why bother telling them as these are only migrants, you know, the thieves and rapists and terrorists that threaten us all, especially the ones disguised as kids!! Thanks to the grinchless police department, four buses were rolled in later to keep them warm and indoor beds were found for them.
     4. The Grinch is oh so cold and lonely so please remember to feel sorry for him - not! He tweeted, amongst the storm of nasty tweets over Sunday and Monday, that he is "all alone. "I am all alone (poor me)…" Dang it, just think about it. The poor man is all alone with his staff in the home of the nation and all because of his own grinchiness and greed and nasty self. No pity here!
And besides, Melania returned from Florida.
    5. The increased threat of war, all out nuclear war, coming out of Russia, you know, the land of the Grinch's BFF - or is that North Korea or Saudi Arabia - whom he made sure to praise as going to clean up Syria because we are leaving! Or perhaps it is Duterte or the leader of Myanmar who truly can show him a thing or two about expelling citizens and inhabitants, can she not?
     6. The economy, whose recovery was well in place off to a great start during the Obama years now has tanked. Totally. We are being warned about not just an American Wall Street bear market, but a global one. And it is the fault of everyone except for the Grinch who actually started the whole thing with his ridiculous tariff wars and other poor and destructive economic policies.
     7.  Ruined Christmas for millions of people as his nasty insistence on his ugly wall - and the ugly meaning and cause and purpose of it - has shutdown the government and  he owns it! He surely does. So for all those federal workers who planned to spend money on gifts or gatherings - sorry, better conserve that money. No telling how long this will be. And for you disappointed kids, well, look to the Grinch in the White House.
     8. By the way, if you planned to go to National Parks, be on your guard. The Rangers and employees will not be there. Happy Holidays!! Just no happy trails, I guess.
     9.  The growth of nastiness even as truths are acknowledged. Even his oh so grateful Russian friends have poked fun at him and his conceits in a satiric video which portrays the various gold and gilded presents he receives from his "best" friends. This one has gotta' hurt him.
     10.  The outpouring of nastiness, of prejudice, of the okay, it is alright to be a neo Nazi or a right wing or left wing extremist and indulge your hates and prejudices. It is okay to shoot up churches and synagogues, malls and schools, particularly if you aim at the right people! This is the gift that keeps on giving, Mr. Grinch, and for that - well, you know the saying - "What goes around, comes around." Or "Payback's a bitch." Feeling the heat and the hate already as you sit there alone, poor you? Get out your shorts, for the heat of the hatred you unleashed is setting the world on fire and the trail leads right back to you.
     11. You have brought all the nuts out of the woodwork, so special! The latest creep is Kevin Spacey whose video "Let Me Be Frank" is truly beyond words as he threatens a comeback and I am sure gave such a warm feeling inside to the numerous men he has allegedly molested. Yuck!!
     12.  You had to do it, right? You had to go and spoil it all for the poor kid at the oh so grownup age of seven. You had to be the Grinch in all your glory. And after all, what could a kid say back to you, you overgrown meanie? Your parting shot to ruin as many Christmases as you can. 
     “Are you still a believer in Santa?” the president could be heard asking the child over the phone. “Because at 7, it’s marginal, right?” Trump then chuckled before concluding the call with the child. “You just go enjoy yourself,” he said into the receiver.
     You are such a Grinch - in every which way. Lucky there are not more days of Christmas for who knows what else you might have "gifted" us?
