A Brief Update

This whole wiretapping story where Trump accuses the Obama administration of bugging the Trump building has really got traction.  It used to be we figured that if the story was false it would make Trump look like a liar.  And if the story was true it would be worse because some FISA judge (appointed by Clinton) thought there were sufficient grounds to believe Trump had contact with foreign governments.  But Shawn Hannity says there were two requests for approval of a FISA judge.  One was made in June or July that was turned down.  The other was made in October of last year and this one was approved.  Trump had a lot of guests and there was a lot of stuff about creeping fascism and the government has a dossier of evidence on everybody.  Trump finally issued his travel ban in a revised form.  Iraq was taken off the list of nations so now there are only six.  Also there is no specific reference to religion and one religion won’t be favored over another.  This should get it through the courts.  Also Visas won’t be touched.   There were new rumors about what is in the Obama Care reform bill that aren’t true.  Some are saying that a form of mandentory insurance has been left in the bill. 

They are doing more invasive pat-downs with the airlines and they are doing pat-downs of the groin, the breasts and the buttox.  They claim that too many weapons have gotten through ordinary pat-downs. Well the whole inspection thing is getting out of hand and we're suffering from too much post 9 - 11 paranoia and airline traffic and processing will be slowed to a crawl. 

 Last night I watched Sixty Minutes.  There was this Marie Le Penn lady from France who is kind of a female Trump with a French accent who believes all the same things Trump does in terms of exit from the EU and immigration.  But her father was known as an anti Semite.  Then it was this cruise ship that went down in the Bermuda Triangle around September of 2015 and they discovered the ship in October of 2015 and all the details with that.  Then I went down for medication with Ida and turned down a tuna sandwich.  Then it was the thing on the 33 lions who were beaten and otherwise mistreated with terror tactics and smashing in their teeth for punishment.  These were circuses in Peru and Brazil and often when their spying was discovered the reorters would be beaten up and had their legs broken.  When the lions were eventually moved to Africa it was the first time many lions had seen a tree or walked on grass.

 I didn’t sleep well at all because I was coughing so much.  I had a dream I was taking college courses and it was finals time.  I had this one essay assignment that was due so I threw something together before class.  We were supposed to have a fellow student grade it and Wally was in charge and gave me a C.   But the papers weren’t turned in till the next day and then Wally announced that mine was unsatisfactory and I had gotten an F.  I felt hurt and betrayed because I thought Wally was my friend.
