Why Can’t We Have Nice Things?

In a previous game, U.S. soccer star Folarin Balogun earned a red card, disqualifying him from last night’s match against Belgium. Trump intervened and Balogun was reinstated. This triggered worldwide outrage, not the least from Belgium. Last night, Belgium came out gunning and handily beat America 4-1. All of his meddling was for naught. This scenario is a perfect illustration of the Trump effect, everything that he touches dies. Like our country is doing.

This morning, I dropped Anne off at the hospital and went off to do laundry. When I returned Jane and all of the doctors had come and gone. Harry was a lot more lucid today than yesterday. He recognized us without prompting for one. I’m glad that yesterday was just a bad day, after an even worse weekend. But these events serve to illustrate the fragility of his health. The process to move him to a rehab center moved a step forward. Jane picked three from the list and none of them were any of the ones accused of senior abuse or neglect. Sorry David, no 60 Minutes exposé nursing homes for your grandfather. Save those for your parents. No idea yet on the availability of beds at any of these places. I suspect though that the exposé ones have greater availability. Meanwhile, the care at St. Joe/Trinity is great.

We are going to a wedding this weekend. So, Anne got her toes painted. Aren’t they lovely? Earlier, back in Monterey she also found a new to her dress at Nice Women’s Consignment Boutique. It looks like the weather will even cooperate this weekend with her wardrobe selection. 

Here is a little link to a throwback video game, Epic Furious. You can die in it and since you’re playing the President maybe that’s a victory after all. Try it!

Not NICE

In an attempt to rebrand the murderous ICE organization, Trump has relabeled them NICE, but nice people do not murder other people. Still unfunded, DHS is managing to pay this little Gestapo army somehow, probably illegally, but when have they ever let the law stand in their way. All this cruelty is just part of Trump’s quest to distract us from demanding the full release of the Epstein files.

Death & Taxes

On this Tax Day, I cannot think of a better time to rail against the government. So, let’s go. “Nothing is certain in this world, except death and taxes.” This quote is attributed to Benjamin Franklin. I frequently find that it’s accrual world, where a fine is a tax for doing wrong, while a tax is a fine for doing well. I have often been asked, what’s the best way to teach your children about taxes? Eating a third of their ice cream ought to do it. And in conclusion, people who cheat on their taxes disgust me. This is not the world I want to raise my 27 dependents in.

The Madman Doctrine

Senile Satan

He is acting like a cornered animal now. Yesterday’s four-letter word outburst is only the latest and clearest example of this fact. He is trapped and he knows it. No matter how much he blusters there is no way that he can bomb himself out of this war. He has started something that he cannot finish. He is left to threaten and flail. Maybe he will resort to committing war crimes. Who knows what the mad king will do next? I’m hoping that he tacos and chickens out again.
