NOW THAT IS SCARY

     Hey, sorry for the delay, but am now posting from the inside of a hotel room in Israel. Wandering through the airport on my way to find the cab pickup, I noticed, as usual, the heavy mix of nationalities. Arabs in both old and modern clothing, Jews of all types, Europeans, Africans and golly gee, no fighting. The signs were in Hebrew, Arabic and Russian, believe it or not. No one was sneaking around with a knife down his pants or carrying some sign or another insulting another group. And when in the streets of Jerusalem, the nonsense about financial unbalance is so obviously wrong. There were groups of women shopping on Rechov Yaffo, in the shuk of Machane Yehudah, in the upscale Mamilla Mall, sitting at restaurants, and no one was given nasty looks or threats. Obviously there was money to be spent and security in being wherever they wished to be. How lovely would it be if the haters of the world went to pick up on some other characters, like Maduro, or Duterte, or Putin, or XI or yes, even Trump, and left the people of Israel to find their way to peace quietly and carefully, knowing that the only way to end this is to learn the path to co existence, to allowing Israel to be the world's only Jewish state and why not, among all the Moslem states, to acknowledging that both sides are here to stay and throwing canards at each other with the world chiming in will not lead to peace and treaties. But scary? When driving into Jerusalem where it was - a huge picture of Netanyahu and the Demented One. Ugh! Thought the driver was going to lose his breath due to laugher! Scary!
     But the best scary moment of the day is when Westerhout, the President's personal secretary, says that he works harder than anyone else Now imagine that. This guy does not get to work till 11 AM or so after spending some hard hours listening to the creeps of Fox and then tweeting his miniscule brain out. and here is the analysis of his hard work schedule.In her tweet, Westerhout blasted the leak as a "disgraceful breach of trust."

"...... before adding that Trump works harder for the American people "than anyone in recent history."
According to Axios's analysis of Trump's schedule since the November 6 midterm elections through to February 1, the president dedicated 297 hours and 15 minutes out of 502 hours to unstructured "executive time."
By comparison, the U.S. leader's diary had roughly 77 hours of scheduled meetings included, as well as around 51 hours of total travel time. Meanwhile, 40 hours were dedicated to eating lunch.Ahem!!

     The man is certainly underqualified to serve in his position. He thinks he is running his family's company down into the ground yet again, ruling it as a dictatorship, not understanding that this is the company of the people and not Trump! He has allowed power to be consolidated within his family's hot little hands, including those of Kushner.
     But perhaps the most frightening moment is yet to come, tomorrow night, as he speaks in front of the nation in the State of the Union. He will be flanked by so many Democrats, behind and in front, will see another pervert sitting with the Justices and will probably take pride in that. He will reintroduce religion into the issue of a woman's control over her own body, a major no-no. He will what? Rant and rave about brown people coming to take over the country? Free flowing drugs they bring in  - except that drugs come in through legal ports of entry and not by these frightened and hopeful migrants only wanting to do what his own grandfather did - immigrate to America and work hard, succeed and have a life.
     Shall he take pride in the stings and scams the ICE and Border Patrol run in order to trap immigrants, take them away? Is he going to speak with pride of the hard work he and his minions have done to upset the balance of the world order? Oh, yes, he is working ever so hard - and if he ever were indeed to work hard, then my hair would be standing on end and I think I would become a survivor fan really quickly.
     There is so much to be done dealing with real problems so one must wonder why he keeps ginning up new and ridiculous ones, why he hates the free press, why he loves dictators and right wing extremists, why his family, particularly his two idiot sons think anyone with an ounce of brains between two ears would be interested in their puerile statements?
    Yes, life is scary in these here United States and liable to get even more frightening after the speech. Let us hope and pray that he does not go too off the rails, declare emergency after emergency and that he does not cause irrevocable harm to us and the world. Scary indeed.
