My motto is “A little humor never killed anyone. To disarm fear one must be the Fool on the Hill. The Beatles sang about, Alan Watts talked about it and the Hindus have been teaching it for 4000 years.
Never let anyone tell you your efforts are silly or irrelevant. Laugher is often the best medicine.

I find it ironic that even with the huge pile of lies,grifts and inappropriate behavior, the item that finally brings the Mango Mussolini down may be the humble French fry. When Canada slowed the shipping of frozen processed French fries to a crawl it paralyzed the fast food industry. Even though Trump likes McDonald’s, he doesn’t eat them because he can’t afford anything else. His actions set the spark that deprived the working class of the carbo hydrates they crave. It’s their comfort food. It fills them up and when they can’t get those fries because of Trump they get angry. They are losing jobs, healthcare, a future in this country and now the Orange Monster is taking food out of the mouths of the working poor. The alleged Billionaire has no idea what food insecurity is like for a lot of people. I am reminded of the scene in Tale of Two Cities when the peasants storm the nobleman’s estate and capture the staff including the Butler and his teenage daughter. The Nobleman had already fled to England. The mob condemns the staff to death by Guillotine and the Butler begs for his daughter’s life saying she never did anyone any harm, why must she die? The peasant replies, because she had bread when we did not.
That is what we have come to folks. The rich always ignore the lower classes until they boil over and explode with anger. Then things get out of control, I wonder if he realizes that when they come for him they won’t wait for him to be dead before they eat him.

As soon as Trump closes the Kennedy Center he will have it bulldozed and paved over for a parking lot just like he did with the East Wing of the White House. He hates the Kennedy’s and will do anything to humiliate them.

Germany has sent Troops to Greenland as part of a NATO contingent. This marks the first time in almost 200 years that people are happy when they hear the news that the Germans are coming!

The Tangerine Tyrant has committed yet another atrocity! Because of a case of fraud in Minnesota, the enlightened one decided to cut off all federally assisted funding for childcare nationwide. All states must prove that their child care programs are free of fraud before funding is restored. Of course the funding will never be restored because Trumps assets have been frozen by the court system as a result of his not being able to secure a bond for his own fraud case. Trump plans to divert all the federal funds for childcare nationwide care to a secret slush fund that he can access through a third party to get around the courts monitory requirements. He will insure that the states do not receive that money because he will add caveats like banning abortions state wide, no exceptions, allowing the federal government access to state voter roles and requiring public schools to elimate programs that do not serve the Republican agenda. Trump is stealing vast sums of money from Americas pre schoolers to save his own nasty butt. I keep thinking the pig that walks like a man can’t get any lower and then he does.

There is a curious architectural feature in Colonial era houses in the Appalachian region. In the 18th&19th century homes were often built with two front doors. The Scotch/ Irish brought their funeral customs with them from the old country. One of these customs was a door for the living ands door for the dead. In those early days before funeral parlors people would lay the deceased out in the front room of the house. The friends and relatives would come in by one door and the body would be removed by the other. The second door was only used for the purpose of carrying the co**se out of the feet first so that the spirit could not see anyone in the house and lure them to follow the deceased. I enjoy historical tidbits like this, I find it fascinating uncover historical mysteries that are hiding in plain site.
