Some Things To Keep In Mind

Rick Unger today and Thom Hartman this morning say the democratic party needs to get back to it’s roots, it’s past.  We all need to be reminded of what the Democratic Party has done for us all these many years such as union power and social security.  People are well off now and they think it happened by accident.  All they know is now they have money so they’re going to vote republican to lower their tax rates.  But Rick Unger says that it’s the democratic worker that has been forgotten, those people in the rust belt that voted for President Trump last time.  They set themselves up to be lied to and Trump was willing to accomidate.   Let’s blame the foreigners and the minorities for all our problems.  It’s feeding the hate.  We’ve spent too much time catering to the gays in transsexuals in my opinion.  We obsess over illegal aliens when supposedly they can’t even vote anyhow so won’t do us any good.  I think we need to talk about voter suppression and getting rid of gerrymandering in the next election.  And we need to safe-guard the Planet because climate change is going to do us all in otherwise.  I may hate to give up plastic straws but there are things we have to do for the cause, and that might even be switching to plant based Whoppers.   We need to be driven by a sense of urgency on things like gun control and also the tobacco lobby, which admittedly I don’t talk that much about.  We don’t want all our young people getting ill from vaping.   Mike Bloomberg is a good candidate in many ways but we can’t forget about police relations with the locals in primarily Black neighborhood.  Police and the residents have to stop viewing each other as “the enemy”.  (Selah)

I just had C-Span on and Chuck Schumer spoke for fifteen or so minutes on meeting with Senator Mc Connell bout making the trial fair.   We want it speedy and public, but we don’t want evidence shoved under the rug.  Chuck has stated that he’s talked to Republican Senators who contrary to what the media is telling us, are genuinely on the fence about whether or not to vote guilty.  They believe the president has done something wrong but they need more hard evidence to put them over the top and vote for removal.  Chuck Schumer proposes to do just that in calling four new witnesses that did not testify at the House hearings.  One of them is John Boulton.  He specifically has stated that he has new evidence to present.   Giuliani is not one of the four witnesses and in this I disagree with Chuck.  I believe give all the chickens a chance to cackle.  

Some might say that I need to “get out of myself” more.  Even a couple of paragraphs back in this file, I lapsed into a recitation of all my problems.  I’ve spent too much time on this “God “ stuff.  The problem is when I switched to space travel my ratings went down to nothing.  I thought the last two postings were good ones.   Some may say “Get out to more movies”.  Of course there are always recreational things like bowling and miniature golf or amusement parks or water slides, though this isn’t the weather for that.  I don’t have the physical stamina to roller skate any more.  I wouldn’t trust myself out on the rink.  What I need is a girlfriend.  Maybe I would meet a girl in line if I went to the movies.  That might be the best thing about going.  I think most movies are pretty wasted anyhow.  That’s the impression the media gives.  I think I could meet a woman at some democratic rally or one of these protests groups.  She could take care of the Planet while I pursued my scientific theories or else performed as keyboardist for a famous rock band to earn my money.  I need to get off of SSI.  I know that.  Also my physical health needs attention.  I wish I could get back on Formula IV and the Carrotenoids like I was in 1998.  Back then I was a lot healthier and more relatives were alive and I was more sexually active.  I managed to get control of my alcoholism for a while.  Usually when someone uses the phrase “The things that make for happiness” they’re talking about Jesus.  Not either the historical or the Biblical Jesus but the alltogether pithy Jesus of Neil Savedra and the Born Again crowd, as hopelessly infested as it is with Trump disciples. That didn’t work for me.  Of course my greatest happiness would be achieved with the defeat of President Trump. 

I think I had a three pack of lemon cookies.  Brother Bart was there for the Bible study.  I went out and had another cigarette and then returned.  Today Bart read us four shorter stories.  One was about an immigrant walking down the railroad track because he thought buying a train ticket only entitled him to walk the tracks.  Another was about a woodpecker who was struck by lightning and the tree he was pecking on was struck and it exposed all the juicy worms.  The other was about this kid who’s sliding off a roof and he prays to God to deliver him and then his pants catch on a nail and he says, “Never mind, Lord, a nail caught me”.   There was a story about a new meaning for  “upper crust”.  We sang four Christmas carols and I was trying to “lead” the group trying for a faster tempo, unsuccessfully.  But Brother Bart was going to tell one more story, a Christmas story, but I left.  Our “prayer warrior” wasn’t there.  It was past ten after three already and I turned on Eye Witness news and the ABC network news and then went out for a cigarette.   We had a BLT turkey sandwich on a Subway bun and potato salad, something we don’t have enough of.  We had amberosia for dessert.  Then I went out to the store and got a bear claw and strawberry cigarettes.
