A Murky Sea of Hateful Rhetoric

Here is a small bit of good news to brighten our day.  Louisiana had a dead on tie for Governor and the democrat won the election because they drew straws and the Republican drew the short straw.  That’s scientific.  The republican was the guy who faced the ads saying the candidate was hanging out with whores while he was supposed to be attending a vote on veteran’s benefits.  We’ll take the victory anyway we can get it.  Donald Trump had a “Black Lives Matter” protestor physically thrown out of the building and apparently the guy was beaten up in the process.  Trump is on a roll with his bigoted and Islamaphobic views of society and is the top of the pops on the Republican side.  At this point it looks like Trump will be the Republican nominee.  There is no “candidate of the month” scenario like we had back in the summer and fall of 2011.  Trump has basically been at the top of the polls since he declared for President in June.  In the news there is turmoil all over the world.  You know about that Islamic terrorism we had in Mali in an expensive hotel or something.  They canceled a boxing match in this country because of terrorism.  And in Belgim they closed down the whole country because they said there was a strong indication of terrorism.   This week they found the Rude Pundit’s theme song.  I have Stephanie on audio from WCPT right now.   Jersey City has a large Islamic population who allegedly cheered when the buildings of 9 – 11 came down.  Trump clains “I know because I saw it happening on TV but the media covered it up”.  Oh, and welcome to the return of water boarding in a President Trump administration.  “It was nothing compared to what they’d done to us”.  So vote the water boarding ticket.  If that’s not weird enough for you John Kasec wants the latest government department called the Dept of Judeo Christian values, to keep America moral.

The United State was letting in Cuban refugees while Castro was deliberately exporting criminals to the US.  It was pointed out that if there were a demagogue of the left equivelant to Donald Trump, the press would bury him within a week with bad publicity - - not to mention five months.  This is after breakfast and physically I feel better.   I still have no idea how I’m going to get through the next thirty hours without cigarettes to smoke.  I was headed out the front door to perhaps do an overdraft (when the phone company made their withdraw) when Glenda called me back and gave me two Phillies, which are like pencil shaving to smoke anyhow.  One cigarette was broken.  I smoked the unbroken one and gave long butts to Glen who was out there.  We had Raison Bran for breakfast followed by generous scrambled eggs and toast and butter and jelly.  I had black coffee, and the reason of course if you have a choice of black- - or drowning in cream and sugar.  That’s the way they have it.   I’d be happy if they’d go back to letting you put yur own sugar and cream in like five months ago.
