Do you believe in "signs"?


I do believe that there are things that happen that are beyond our small minds.

I do recall the last big eclipse that crossed America in 2017. It came on shore in Washington state and departed somewhere near Charleston, SC. Trump had only been in office a few months, but long enough to know that he was going to be a disaster.

Now, seven years later, there is another eclipse that crosses the path of the previous one, somewhere near the Paducah, KY area.

We did have weather disasters after the last eclipse. We had Houston flooded from a Hurricane and then almost immediately afterward, we had Puerto Rico and Cuba torn apart by hurricanes. There is no proof there was a connection, but it happened nonetheless.

People can interpret these "signs" anyway they wish, I suppose?

I prefer to see the beginning and the end of a 7-year scourge called Trump. I think the eclipse will signal the end of Trump and evil he brought to this country.

Trump is very, very worried about the April 15th trial date.

He doesn't do "trials".

He either pays off the plaintiffs or delays the process until it disappears.

But, this time, it is different.

There is Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels waiting to testify. Hope Hicks is a wild card and they don't know what she might say? The facts do not look good for Trump. He really needs to make this trial disappear.

It was nothing unusual for him to try to pay someone off to keep them quiet. It was not the first time he had done it. Unfortunately, it was right before the 2016 election and he did not need any more negative attention. Michael Cohen, who swore he would "take a bullet" for him, was sent to prison for his part in the pay-off. Obviously, there is no love lost there.

So, is Trump worried about April 15th?

I would say, very much so.

Judge Aileen Cannon is unapologetically grateful and loyal to Donald Trump.

After all, she would not have her position at all if Trump had not chosen her after the last election had been decided. He needed his own Judge, close to home, that would help him get out of legal jams and was more than willing to help him. She is a loyal person and is very grateful for what Trump did for her. A lifetime appointment with great pay - what more could a person ask for?

She has very little experience and is more than willing to take advice from anyone that might need her help, especially the legal team of Donald J Trump.

She is in a category similar to SC Justice Clarence Thomas. Both are useless to the legal profession but they serve a purpose for their masters.

100 years ago - A "return to normalcy", the Roarin' Twenties, and then, the Depression.

Warren Harding, a Republican, called for a "return to normalcy" after WWI had ended and people's lives had been uprooted by the "Spanish flu". He called for isolationism and deregulation on businesses as a way to return to normalcy.

What followed was the Roarin' Twenties and then the stock market crash of 1929.

That was followed by the Great Depression.

Do you think we are on a similar track?

Are we paying the price for the lack of civics education in the classroom?

Is there a more gullible population in the world right now, than the present population of America?

It is almost embarrassing how naive and gullible the voters of this nation are at this time.

"Hey, don't let anyone see this....shh....Would you like to buy this watch for only $5 dollars?"

"Keep it hid until I get out of sight, OK?"

" How about a Trump Bible? It will be worth a lot more a year from now...look at it as an investment....it's only $60 dollars".

"You know, Trump is just like you, right?"

He only wants to be a dictator from Day One... whatever it takes to clean up the mess, right?

I guess there are some folks that do want civics taught because they might teach about liberal democracy and that would be a threat to some people, right?

Is the FBI aware of the violent threats against different state election officials?

It seems like something the FBI would want to crack down on? Trace the calls and emails and find the culprits that would make such threats?

I felt sorry for the Colorado Secretary of State, Griswold, who was on Nicolle Wallace's show yesterday. She read one of the threats that the Secretary had received. The Secretary said she had received even worse messages. No one, especially elected officials, should have to live under such threats. It is criminal.

I'm sure the Department of Justice, including the FBI, are on top of this.

Where are the religious leaders that will challenge Donald J Trump?

Do they believe he is the Messiah, also?

What does their New Testament say? Does it say that the false prophets will look as fake as a three-dollar bill? What does their Golden Rule say? To hate one another as you want to be hated?

Where are the preachers that can talk to these lost sheep that think they have found the Lord?

Do they think greed is good? Does their Bible encourage bearing false witness?

Where are the religious leaders that can speak to these lost souls?

"Ultra-Fairness"

Andrew Weissmann and Nicolle Wallace were discussing how the justice system were going out of their way to be fair to Donald Trump. Weissman called it "ultra-fair". Nicolle said he was receiving kid glove treatment like no other person, no mob boss, no one in America would receive except Donald Trump. It was an excellent point, in my opinion.

But, I would say, that you cannot be "fair" to someone who is not looking for "fairness". He is looking to disrupt and to tear down our justice system in order to protect himself.

Does the FBI or the Atty-General have any role in this issue? If he is the threat that they say he is, can they continue to stand by and do nothing?

He has used the same playbook many, many times. Anybody that opposes him is interfering with his election. They are persecuting him because they are anti-Trump or they are Democrats or they are friends of Democrats, etc. It's the same defense every time.

As for "ultra-fairness", it is past time to be "fair" to the American people.

If you vote Republican, you are a friggin' fool!

No ifs, ands, or buts...

First of all, they are chicken shits. They could not stand up for this country if their lives depended on it... and they probably do.

They are spineless liars. They have no shame. They admit it.

They are part of a mindless cult.

Anyone that would defend the Republican Party can never be trusted to do anything right.

They are worthless.
