Doing the worst part of travel - packing - and had to take a break or my back will start to picket me. We were supposed to come home with less than we came with, so why is it that my two original suitcases are jammed to the hilt and we have another suitcase bought to carry the rest of the purchases! There is just so much here that is beautiful and meaningful and it is hard to put it down, or to say oh, so and so would love this and then not get it. Soooooo - one buys it and hence, well, you know the rest.
In any case, this was a great visit to see friends and family and we will certainly, G-d willing, be back again. But I am not so happy about what we are returning to! I guess throwing rolls of paper towels was not enough of an insult and a ----you to Puerto Rico. Nope, that Demented One has to threaten to take away funds meant for their recovery and put it towards his stupid wall. Now, by the by, it is not to build the wall, but to finish the wall, making believe that he actually did some construction - did not - and hence hopes he can fool the same people again. Now he also tells California the same thing about the funds needed to recover after the catastrophic fires but neither will take it sitting down. What is the matter with this man? Does he not understand reality? Or is it that his perception of reality is so skewed that it will never mesh with ours?
Now the other idiot, Cruz, had a 'great idea'. Let the drug lords pay for the wall. Uh huh. First of all, they could care less as their drugs do not come in over the wall but rather through legal ports of entry so why care. Second of all try to picture the lineup and process. Okay, Drug Lord 1 - here is your bill, pay at that window and next! Truly! anybody in the Republican Party ever think ahead for two seconds before inserting feet in mouth?
And in the meanwhile, the hypocrisy grows and grows. McCarthy, who loves nativists and white nationalism and who proudly said so, now has appointed himself the spokesman for the Jews against anti Semitism. Oh, right. Yup. Like the two things have nothing to do with each other. As far as Omar, she can go to hell and she should be stripped from her assignments, but as of yet, the Democratic leadership does not seem to realize that. Perhaps one day....., one day.... In the meanwhile, we have dead from the neck up Devil's Spawn, Pence, who must have received permission from "Mother" to speak, suddenly pipes in and who the hell cares what he was programmed to say. Personally, I think he is working on one damaged spark plug out of say, eight.
It is so hard to believe that we have a government filled with nonentities and harmful creatures. We need to look past them into the future and find and elect someone good and the first thing to do is make sure we indict the criminal Trumps and get them out of the way along with their minions.
The second step is find a good woman, yes, a woman, find a running mate, and go get em! But the Democratic Party must choose carefully. There are forces working hard to split the Party, weaken its power and its draw. These people are found on the left, mainly and I am all for progress, but it must be secure and backed up. Yes, Green by all means, but sensibly and in a manner that will insure its success. And we also need to stop the nastiness assigned to women when they speak up, are powerful, have strong ideas, have strong personalities. Whereas all that is oh so great in men, women with these powers intimidate the weaker gender, the men, and hence their nasty campaigns. Personally, I think there are some good choices out there, but Globuchar seems to draw me the most and I need to check out some opinions and votes, but she is a strong and determined woman, just what the doctor called for.
We need to stop this racial hatred once more. What the hell difference does it make about skin color. All black is not uniform and neither is brown and neither is white nor yellow nor red or whatever color is ginned up. And why is natural tan bad while those insane deep and dark tans are okay? Blood is red. A heart is a heart. The kidneys work the same. We need to get real here. It will be hard to leave behind these primitive reactions, but we need to, must, if we are to progress anywhere positive.
Sometimes I feel so out of step with this world. Where did I miss the turn, or is it the world which messed up, began a uey which led into swamps of yesteryear? I wish I knew and I wish I knew the answers to the problems, the proper Waze directions! In the meanwhile, I believe we all need to start with the man in the mirror and go from there.
Tomorrow is travel day and I hope to post a tad later on in the day, so watch for it. In the meanwhile, there are the posts from the trip which came on at odd hours for you, so please, read and enjoy and catch up.
