VERITAS TEMPORIS FILIA

      Truth is the daughter of time. So, before I get into the posting, let me confess all in the name of truth, like where the hell was I yesterday and why so late today. One is simple: it was holiday and I forgot to note that on the Friday blog. Mea culpa. Why so late today? Because, quite frankly, I was an idiot, and attempted to do something by myself which was truly a dumb move and then - wham!! Over I went, wrenching my back truly badly, to the point of not being able to walk for a while, and concussing myself, denting a radiator cover with my own little delicate head! A day and a hospital visit later we confirmed no fracture of the back, no brain bleed or clotting and I was able to return, albeit a tad damaged! And definitely slower moving!

So, in the name of truth I confess I was an idiot at that moment and I must accept that I need some physical help at times. The pain over the next few months will remind me should I forget. Would that the daughter of Time, Truth, would be so easily understood and accepted by others. Would that people would finally accept that Truth will out. Time is on the side of Truth and there is no hiding it forever. Much better to work within that principle rather than try to oppose it and then find oneself on the ground with a dent in the proverbial radiator cover! Much less painful for all concerned.

Thus we rightly ask ourselves what was the point of lying re Trump's COVID issue? The Truth will out, people will speak, tongues will trip over themselves, people forget what lies they told, thus adding new and contrasting ones and the final result? The Truth is outed, bits and pieces falling into place. So what was the point in the first place? Beats me! Time will tell has lots of reasoning behind it and always will, though too late at times. The damage is done and the consequences are not good. The liars never seem to learn, do they?

The man poked fun at all the precautions. He urged his benighted followers to follow his untruths. He pressured governmental organizations to lie, as in the connection between kids and the virus. He lied about the virus and its powerful outcomes, even unto death! Almost 210,000 dead now and millions upon millions infected. The equivalents of smaller cities being totally emptied,  but lies continued and there ya' go! Goes around and comes around. Get what you give. Reap what you sow. Take any saying and the Truth hits you right in the face.

Now we find that the man was and is truly bad sick. What did he expect? Did he not worry as he knew he had zillions of people at his beck and call, no insurance complications, no "sorry, too experimental" - nothing to stop his personal journey of healing? Too bad it does not stretch to the everyday average person in America. And much of that is his fault. Truth and Time tell the story, do the not? And why the continuing lies? Why the stupidity of it all? And what is with the ridiculous oh so angry statements about SNL and the skit. If Trump goes for a little ride in the midst of it all to wave to fellow idiots; if he puts on a jacket to sign meaningless papers to show he is 'working', then so what? He is obviously playing down his vulnerability and true state of health - what a shock! - so two can play the same game. Not serious, then fine, satire is okay. And besides, why did he not wear the mask and why did he not warn people, instead of telling more lies and more lies and allowing it all to spread.

Why? Because the man could care less about anyone other than himself, his power, his bottom line. All else is fodder for his machinery that crumbles all before it - or so he thinks. Truth is, please, G-d, he will go down in a few weeks and the only question remaining is will he behave as he should, as he swore to, to defend the Constitution, serve the people, or will he instigate Civil War II?

Riding in an Uber on the way home, we had a driver who was a stereotype of a typical crude Trump supporter. Sleeveless shirt, big, tattoos, bearded and we kept quiet, as today, one speaks naught of political thoughts and leanings. Too dangerous in the Trumpian world we now live in. So he spoke, a nice and gentle voice in a man filled with concern as to why people do not talk any more, why do they yell, why can they not see what the truth of Trump is? Did they not have enough time to see and understand what he is doing to the country? Lesson learned: no judging by appearances. Meet and get to know. Talk and share. That is the way to go. That is how Truth emerges.

And now, friends, again, my apologies and I will be signing off for today. Head banging and back screaming, with knees and shoulders joining the chorus. Think I will add in a few howls of my own!

Stay safe, be well, appreciate the Truth and the value of Time and most important =  VOTE.
