AND THE WORLD STOOD STILL - OR DID IT?

  Such a nice day yesterday. No politics or nasty stories about disappointing politicians. No hints at roiling and boiling foreign relations who are used to a different President. Nope, they were there, but not here, in my head or heart, yesterday. I forswore reading them, determined to keep the mood going all the while it could. However, despite all my efforts to the contrary, intrude it did. Drat!

China, Russia, and the USA, all engage in shouting matches and threats. Florida goes its usual ridiculous pathway, denying truths that annoy its governor, who swears to change the situation and then Matt Goetz, (did you see his toothy smile - Brr!) swears to those words and promised actions. A crisis decades in the making, exacerbated by the policies of the Trump administration, are called out by the GOP who, I guess, want more stringent rulings, more cruelty to minors, more nastiness, more closing of doors to new immigrants, new adherence to a  broken system rather than a stormy watch.

Cry this beloved country as we mourn deaths attributed to policing gone rogue. Hang on the words of every ten minutes, repeating the "facts" of the story - depending upon which media is talking! But at least our pool hours are being extended and more people are allowed in to the theater for movies. However, still no Executive Board meeting. Maybe one day David Israel will put down his blanket that he wraps himself in and actually begin to administer in a proper manner, rather than in the blocking and anti growth government he heads now.

And perhaps one day those darned pigs will fly. We are so dark, so deep in to foreign territory, and I despair of our ever getting out of it in one piece. I wonder at the silence of the big mouth Trump. Why the quiet? Why the lack of clear policy at the border? Why? Because one cannot solve this issue in a day or a week. It requires a stronger effort, a new effort, and a way to mesh the inequities of Trump with the humanity of Biden.

The difficulty of continuing former administration policy without a catastrophic break is laid directly at the feet of Trump, Encouraged to follow his own dictats, never minding the harm and hurt it caused so many others, Trumpians refused to cooperate with the incoming administration, thus creating a time gap. Then they demand action, the very action they are blocking, take credit for the benefits of the Rescue Bill, the very one they decried and voted against. Hypocrites, all of them, down to the last and newest Republican Congressional character. 

What a mess. Should have tried harder to sleep longer and stayed away from the paper and the newsfeeds of the day. But how does one live in ignorance? How does one live in denial? I cannot. Much to my dismay! Much to my despair.

So, the world stood still. It remained mired in its own muck, the filth of its own workings. Yet it also moved on with signs of life in the building - but where were they moving towards? Beats me!

Standing still, moving on - does it even matter in this twisted world we now occupy? Which talking head has all the answers? Actually, does any single one have the magic touch? Anyway, when are they going to reopen the movies and theater again?!
