Well…in case you were wondering why the idiot trump was working to end sanctions on the Chinese company ZTE, the answer was revealed this morning….it a pure pay for play…and it is sickening that the idiot boy is using the US government to line his pockets…again. The revelation today that the Chinese government is going to invest 500 million in a trump resort that is going to be built in southeast Asia…yep, you heard that right…sanctions that were put in place on ZTE for selling American technology to North Korea and Iran are now being lifted after trump got a bribe from China….nothing like this has ever happened in the history of our country and the damn repubs are just sitting there letting this idiot sell off our country’s strategic diplomacy for his own profit…and trump is probably funneling some of this cash to Ryan and McConnell to buy their silence….this is not how it is supposed to work and that makes it even more imperative that we get off our asses and vote come November…this crap has got to stop…impeach…
May 15th
Well…I guess it’s one of the effects of not sleeping again is that I’m here this early…I mean it’s not even 6:30 yet….how can I be bored this early? Oh, well….had a nice day yesterday with a top down run out and back to pool…oh, and I won for the first time in a few weeks…my stomach has settled down and I’m not sure what the problem was…still feels a little weird but it’s okay….I think I’ll have to continue to eat more to try to avoid it getting bad again….and the soreness that normally comes with the miles piling up on the bike is starting to move around…my right shoulder tendons are the starting point this year and my hands have been bad, too, so I’ll have to remember to take the ibuprofen before the bike today…and, I need to get out early with rain all around but not here right now…and, I need to clean up some here with C coming into town this aft….more later…
trump’s a job saver…just not here…
Well…despite all his promises (lies), the idiot trump has not been able to save one job here in the US as the pace of offshoring has accelerated with the huge tax giveaway to corporations….so now, he is going to try to save jobs in China. The jobs in question are with a Chinese company called ZTE who makes mobile phones and other electronic devices…the only problem is that the company is under sanctions for selling American technology to the North Koreans and Iran. So now, the most lawless *president in the history of our country is going to favor a law breaking company for some damn reason…maybe to curry favor with the Chinese? Who the hell knows? trump thinks there is no need for the state department since he makes the “best deals” and he just doesn’t care at all for the rule of law….god, I am so tired of this crap…oh, and there have been 50 people killed in Gaza today protesting the move of the US embassy in Israel that the idiot trump made to make Netenyahu happy…so much winning….impeach…
May 14th
Well…that was a Sunday to remember…my stomach has been worse than it’s been in a long time and I had to eat zantacs like candy all day…and it’s still hinky this morning but it is better….not sure what the heck is going on…thought it might be from not eating enough but it’s never been this bad from that….slept okay last night but have no energy right now so it will be another one of those days where I ease into it…okay, my stomach just got worse and I think I’ll get started with some antacids and maybe some toast to see if I can settle it….with feeling so crappy, I didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks the same….just going to have coffee right now and see where my stomach goes….more later….
May 13th
Well…almost forgot to do this one this morning and I’m not sure why it always happens on Sundays….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today but it is a little annoying that it is misting out there so I can’t get on the bike until later…and the F1 race and Man U are on in a bit so that will push getting on the bike to the afternoon…and that may not be too bad since it may be warm enough to get out in a t-shirt by then….didn’t get much done yesterday and today will probably be the same but I don’t want it to be…am going to cook some pork loin and morels for lunch and it appears that there isn’t anything else to do for the rest of the day….and I need to try to not get bored….more later….
Fastest year to 1,000 miles…
Well….just got back from the bike ride and noticed I’ve gotten to 840 miles as of today…and with the 161 miles I put on the old bike, that makes 1,000 miles already this year…and that is the fastest to that mark ever….I think I beat the next fastest one by a couple of weeks…and another thing happened while I was out today that is pretty cool…going into the woods, there was a tree down across it so I laid down the bike to drag it off the trail…after I moved it, I looked down and there were 6 yellow morels poking out of the leaves…so I picked them and am going to saute them tomorrow…had to check to make sure there weren’t false ones that can kill you….can’t remember the last time I had them…yummy…
May 12th
Well…okay, I know it’s time to get going but I don’t really want to….but, I guess if I just start then maybe it will work….slept a little better last night but still feel a little slow today so I think I’ll ease into it and let the coffee work some….I did get some stuff done yesterday and I may do more today but I have to cook, too, so that might be the work I’ll do…didn’t get out on the bike yesterday with the cold and rain…41 degrees in the middle of May is just too much for me to get out…and today looks like a long wait until it gets warm enough to go…not going to wear gloves anymore….my back has been cracking like crazy the past couple of days and the pain is gone so I guess that’s something…not much to do today…as I said, I’m going to ease into it and just have coffee and look at the news….more later….
I am SO bored….
Well…have done all the cleaning I am going to do today and I am bored, bored, bored….probably could do more but I just don’t feel like it…got the vacuuming done and moved my antenna wire for the tv and lost 3 channels and can’t figure out how to get them back…damn….I wonder if it’s the weather? It’s been raining all day and that has left me pretty grumpy without being able to get on the bike….and it is only 41 degrees and that depresses me even more…and I think I’m getting a new upstairs neighbor since somone has been clomping around up there all day…can’t wait to get out of here and into a house later in the year…at least there is light at the end of that tunnel….I wonder if I should wash the bike today? then it will be clean for the ride tomorrow…maybe that will keep me busy for a while…hope so….
They’re all terrible people….
Well…we have had evidence over the past year that every damn one of the cretins in the idiot trump’s administration are terrible people, and yesterday there was more evidence piled on the stinking heap that is this WH. During the hearings in the Senate for a new CIA director, (the nominee being Gina Haspel, who ran a black site in Asia where prisoners were tortured and who then destroyed the tapes of the torture to get rid of the evidence of war crimes) John McCain made the comment that Haspel is morally unfit for the office since she did and still does support torturing…and this elicited a comment from a special WH assistant Kelly Sadler in a meeting yesterday morning…and it is just sick…”It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway”….now I’m not a big fan of McCain, as you’ve read here but there is such a thing as common decency that does not exist for this WH and the denizens who reside in this swamp….there is a moral imperative that was destroyed by the torturers in the GW Bush administration and we need to get back to it…we do not torture…it’s that damn simple….and if the nominee for the CIA director can’t make that simple promise, she needs to go…geez….
May 11th
Well…I think I’m running on time today since it is only a little after 7…..slept a little crappy last night and I wonder why that would be…it’s been okay lately so that’s disappointing….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but today will be different…not going to get on the bike with it being in the 40′s and rainy all day…in the 40′s in May? Cripes, that’s cold….so that will mean I’ll need to do something around here to keep the guilts at bay…vacuuming should be done and the kitchen could use a once over….I do need to run an errand this morning but that’s about all I need to do…going to marinade some more fish to have tomorrow but not until the coffee starts to work….more later….
