In South America and in most countries of the world, the leader of a failed coup attempt would be dealt with harshly. In the United States, rather than being treated as a traitor, the leader of a failed coup attempt is given more free air time so he can run his mouth while planning his next presidential campaign and his next coup attempt. Why isn’t Trump in prison?

I’m reposting as I hope a few new people will see it!
Chief Eagle Feather, a full-blooded Cherokee, toured the country’s vaudeville circuit and was billed as “America’s premier Indian tap dancer.” The Chief, also known as Frank Bell, married our cousin, Myrtle Thomas. The story goes that after their marriage, she was adopted by the tribe and given the name “White Fawn.” She joined Eagle Feather in his adventures as he persued his vaudeville career.

I imagine that most of you, like me, miss hearing your old favorite songs. I’m talking about the classics like “I’ve Got Tears In My Ears From Lying On My Back, Crying Over You.” And, a couple of my special favorites are “If You See Me Getting Smaller, I’m Leavin’” and “When I Get Done Leavin, I’ll Be Gone.”

Have you ever seen a bed bug? If yes, was the bed bug on a bed? Have you ever seen a bed bug any place else? If we buy sheets and blankets, do they come with bed bugs in residence? Do bed bugs eat our sheets and blankets? If no, then what do they eat? I’ve never seen a bed bug but know that sometimes it’s necessary to put aside the world’s problems and think about things a little closer to home.

Reminds Me
The Russian military has long been known as the Red Army. The color, red, and the misguided leadership remind me of the Republican party.
Making America Great Again
If Trump really wants to make America great again, he should pack up and leave.
Is There Any Shame?
When the Republicans stonewall the press or parrot Trump’s lies, do they look in the mirror and then throw up?
Don’t Give Up
I hate writing this kind of stuff, but we all need to speak up. The country is in grave danger from Trump and his followers.

-Hey, Bubba-
Hey, Bubba, the dumbing down of America isn’t happening fast enough. Let’s ban some books and see if we can speed up the process.
-Went to Plan B
Governor Abbott of Texas wears cowboy boots because he never learned to tie his shoes. Governor DeSantis of Florida wears loafers for the same reason. (Unless Ron is wearing white go-go boots to supposedly inspect flood damage.)
-What’s next?
Abbott and DeSantis are doing their best to get women under control. Their next trick will probably be mandatory hair coverings. Lipstick will be okay if a veil is worn to cover it? Aren’t female athletes in Florida already required to track their menstrual cycles?
-Native Americans
After screwing them over and also calling them “Indians” for a few hundred years, I thought we were on the right track by calling them “Native Americans.” After all, they are the native Americans, the real Americans, and the rest of us are late-coming interlopers. Now, however, there is a new effort to erase their true identities by calling them “indigenous people.” The talking heads on TV like to use alternative words because it makes them sound more intelligent, but let’s put a stop to this. There is enough divisiveness nowadays without us creating more by minimizing a people.

I thought most of us Americans believed in following the rules, obeying the law, doing what is right, and being a good person and a good citizen. Boy, was I wrong. In the general election of 2020, 34% of our American voters, the Republicans, voted for Donald Trump. That means they don’t believe in anything I listed above because Trump doesn’t believe in anything but the bottom line as it affects him.
The Republicans started sliding downhill prior to 2016 when the signed the pledge for that goober guy. That pledge declared they wouldn’t take part in any bipartisan legislation, or do anything for the American people. That is right in line with Trump’s thinking. He wants to destroy our democracy and establish an autocracy just like his mentor and good buddy, Vladimir Putin.
Make your own list of character flaws and negatives attributed to Trump. I’m talking about things like: Liar, cheater, bully, immature, childish, egotist, racist, disrespectful, white supremacist, and so on. Complete your list and study it and think about it. You will determine that Donald John Trump is the sorriest son of a bitch that ever came down the pike. Spread the word! Don’t let Trump and the Republicans take over our America and destroy it. Talk to everyone you can. It we don’t speak up, we will lose it all.

I’m repeating what I wrote several weeks ago.
Putin, Putin,
What a mutt.

A short time after we were married, Pat and I went out for breakfast. Both of us being hungry, we each ordered bacon and eggs and a short stack. Pat made it a point to tell the waitress to be sure the pancakes were on a separate plate. I didn’t think anything of it at the time. Several days later, we went out again and ordered the same thing. We were busy talking, and Pat neglected to tell the waitress about the separate plate for the pancakes. Pat noticed the discrepancy as the waitress was serving us and requested a plate for her pancakes. I thought it to be kind of strange but figured there was nothing wrong with her having a quirk or two. She said, “The eggs were almost touching the pancakes.” I said, “So what?” She said, “The eggs cannot touch the pancakes!” That was strange but being a better eater than a conversationalist, I let it go and prepared to eat my own stuff. My technique is to put the pancakes in the middle of the plate, butter them, place the eggs on top of the stack, break the yolks, and pour syrup over the whole thing.
Over the years, I never gave the egg and pancake thing any thought. This week, my senior brain was blank. I went to Pat, and told her I needed a story for my blog, and, with her permission, would like to tell about the eggs and the pancakes. She agreed, and I was about to head for the office and work on the story. It occurred to me then, that after 64 years of marriage, maybe I should find out more about this situation. I said, “Why can’t the eggs touch the pancakes?” She said, “A salted item should not be mixed with a sweet item! That’s disgusting!” There you have it. The mystery is solved. I guess I’m a little slow on the uptake, but I eventually get there.

From The Older Guy
Rules, regulations, and boundaries are very important when raising kids. But…. they don’t blossom until you add lots of hugs and kisses, a listening ear, and plenty of fun.
