How much more can there be? The swamp has not been drained but I feel like we are all wallowing in the mud created by POTUS and his cronies stirring up the swamp. Ivanka and Jared (two people who are old before their time) represent us while, nearby, Palestinians are killed. And yup, I know all about Hamas, their violence, their relationship with Iran, their corruption, and their complicity in not supporting negotiated peace efforts. But POTUS started this latest conflict by moving the capital to Jerusalem. That city has historically been the sacred "home" for three religious groups: Jews, Christians, and Muslims. In an effort to prop up Netanyahu and throw a bone to certain Jewish groups, POTUS has moved the capital, damaged any hope for peace, and created a context for the latest uprising. It is truly painful.
--Two people who must go are Pruitt and Devos. Every move they make eradicates the progress made and the changes implemented by Obama ands crew. In Education and the Environment, these two are taking us backwards in time to the good old days. They are kicking sand in our faces.
--What to say about the White House staffer saying about McCain--he is dying anyhow?
--I'm finished with Cohen and Avenatti. They need to get off my television and go back to work or something. I may be repeating myself but someone mentioned (way back when) that the Stormy business could be more impactful than the Russian investigation. Avenatti needs to keep releasing all that info but silently, please.
--Animal updates from the Boston Globe. Big story about seals who have survived winter storms despite being physically hurt and were being released after recuperating. Another big one: UMaine students who are stressed out now have a herd of goats on campus to ease that stress. I knew goats ate poison ivy but did not know they are similar to anti anxiety meds. And, finally, not too far from here, a wild turkey was shot in a drive by. The paper is pencil thin but manage to bring us these nuggets.
--Dr. Bernstein just told me I was the healthiest 72 year old he had ever seen. Plus he gave me some special drug to grow my hair back like his. EEK.
--The missus and I volunteer at a food pantry in a nearby church. So do about 15 others. It is a small effort but I love it. Problem is some of the volunteers monitor the food like it was being taken off their table--"only take two of those, dear". I make sure they get 4.
--POTUS wants to "close the country" Where were his forebearers from anyway? They were certainly not on the Mayflower. And, therefore, they were immigrants who might not have gained entry if we closed our borders.
--Does POTUS really think his base wants to do the work of hospice aides or hospital janitors? Are those the jobs they are dying to do so that we can force out the immigrants currently doing them?
--And Rudy is an asshole. As is Kanye.
--Congrats to 3 relatives: one leaving middle school for the big wide halls of her local High School; one getting a job at a large news organization; and one getting a Master's Degree on her way to a big
job in sports management.
SPORTS TALK
The Bruins were fun to watch and next fall will even have more young gifted players on the team. I am not sure how the Celtics will beat Lebron but whoa are they fun to watch. The two J's (that would be Jaylen and Jason) are just terrific.
Shalom
