The Reins of Power

It's about time we did another posting after a week.  President Trump has his own game plan for strengthening his grip on the reins of power.  He never campaigned for House members.  He had his eye on the senate because the senate is all he needs to get the judges he needs confirmed.  Mitch Mc Connell refused to confirm empty Judicial posts month after month in the Obama administration.  This way there was a whole slew of them to confirm with a new President Trump.  Now he has all those and he has Kavanaugh and Gorsich in the Supreme Court.  And he's hoping to have more confirmed if Justice Ginsburgh's health takes another turn for the worse.  He knows if he has judges on his side they won't oppose Trump in any of his many power plays to further rob American citizens of their civil liberties or other rights.  Now there is talk of new indictments coming down today from Meuler because it's a Friday and we know the really big news events occur on late Friday because people go out of town and don't read newspapers that much.  Everybody was expecting indictments to come down this week before Witicker or whoever shuts the whole investigation process down.  Of course nobody is talking about the illegal caravan from Mexico coming toward the US border because he only did that in the campaign to cater to his republican base.  It turns out the Republicans won senate seats in Nevada and Arizona so that maybe the gain in US Senators isn't as bad as we all feared.  Of course in two years the economy will probably be in a lot worse shape than it is right now so it will be virtually impossible to get reelected President in 2020.  Therefore it's important to Trump to establish his dictatorial powers right now.  People are now shouting "Heil Trump" at his campaign rallies openly comparing Trump to Hitler- - in a favorable way.

We've had all of these pre-emptions of TV shows the past eight days on TV stations with the Thousand Oaks shooting and the fires that have ravaged California largely due to climate change and of course that funeral for an officer yesterday that lasted in excess of two hours.

I have been in better health the past week.  I've felt almost normal.  My last really sick say was one week ago today when I had a raging fever I couldn't shake during the day.  I finally broke the fever drinking a big, cold bottle of Coke.  I also CUT the ammount of extra vitamins I was taking.  My body functioned better on junk food to re-establish resistance to disease viruses.  All of these lab reports may come to nothing if I'm better on my own after all these weeks. 

Now here is something from a few days ago.

Nora shewed up before two and shewed me out of the room.  I know she spent time cleaning the bathroom and she mopped the floor.  I smoked a cigarette and then smoked another one.  I needed to get back in to shave and I finally did that after two.  I got a number to see the doctor.  Someone was serving Oreos for a snack.  When I returned to the doctor line the second time Kathy at no 17 had already gone in.  I got in front of number twenty with two people (?) in front of me.  Dr Saran didn’t really ask how I was feeling.  The whole visit was a big disappointment.  He didn’t have either the blood test results or either of the chest X ray results, though I told him I had seen the image on the screen.   Dr Saran mentioned the colonscopy and seemed unaware that one had already been scheduled even though I told him the date.  I don’t remember either my temperature or my blood pressure.  He didn’t prescribe anything for me.  But like I say I never really got to discuss how I was feeling.  Then I went and got in the now tiny line to see Jennifer for Money Draw.  Only Mario was behind me.  Jennifer had a surprise for me.  She presented me with a bill for $23.58.   It was a strange statement.  The original bill was for $140.00 or something.  Apparently Jennifer had received other bills and these hadn’t been presented to me.  I got twenty dollars once I agreed to pay this bill on my own.  I wanted to see Mary Jane but Mary Jane wasn’t having people in after Michelle departed the office.  So I called the Pharmacy number on the bill and she said I could ignore the invoice if I wanted to and they’d just send me another one next month.  I haven’t called Paul about the problem.
