Well….just a shorty on some news that just came over twitter a few minutes ago…Jason Chaffetz announced that it appears that Michael Flynn took money from the Russians and now trump and his cronies are refusing to give the oversight committee the records they have of it….only 100 days in and we have a coverup going on at the WH of treason……the odd thing is that not one news organization is covering this…are they trying to help trump weather his treasonous actions? Okay….having a hard time working up outrage today so I think I’ll leave it here…more later…
April 25th
Well….slept so crappy last night that it feels like I didn’t….but, other than that, I feel pretty good…physically anyway….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but resumes but today will have to be different…need to clean again today but I’m not sure how much of that will happen….haven’t been eating enough and I can feel it…but, I just don’t care to eat…nothing appeals to me right now and it is really hard to force the food down….it looks like it will be warm enough to get out on the bike anytime I want today but I am not in any hurry since I am running early without sleeping….okay, I do need coffee and to look at some news…more later…..
Just not a good day…..
Well….it has just not been a good day today and that was and is reflected in these today….just don’t have anything to write about today…or anything that interests me to write about…actually, nothing interests me right now…it has been a depressing day and I just want it to be over….so, I may be back for another one today but maybe not….
Okay…just did see one cool thing…my son has one of those camera doorbells on his house and just captured a coyote walking across his front lawn….
April 24th
Well….feel a little crappy this morning and my neck is sore again so I’m in a pretty crappy mood…and the coffee hasn’t started to work yet so it’s a double whammy….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today needs to be different…but, there is a race on today from Bristol so that will take up the afternoon…after I work out and get the bike ride in this morning….man, this is just not going well so I think I’ll come back later to continue….
The trump damage runs deep here in Michigan…
Well…just watched a show on PBS about the hundreds of dedicated people who spend their lives protecting the Great Lakes ecosystem from pollution and invasive species and who are trying to repair the damage that has been done by both of those dangers…one thing that struck me was what one of the people in the show said about how he looks at the lakes and that is that he is part of the stewardship of the lakes, that he is taking care of them for the world, not just the people around the lakes…after all, 20% of the fresh water in the world is contained in the lakes and they include 3 of the 5 largest lakes in the world. So, when I hear that the idiot trump is going to cut all the funding for these programs, I just can’t believe the damage that will be done….when I was young the lakes were just dumping grounds for industry and they have come such a long way that I am just pissed that the morons in this country voted for the idiot who is going to take us back to the bad old days….impeach….
Noodling again….
Well…got a nice bike ride in and had the pork loin for lunch and that started the day off pretty good…but, I have been looking for topics today and just found a couple that makes me shake my head…first…the idiot trump got twice as much money as any previous *president for his inaugural fund…and the idiot is crowing about it…okay donnie…the only damn reason you got that much money is that you are so damn corrupt that the money is essentially huge bribes from these individuals and companies since they know you can be bought….the second thing is the fact that over 48,000 mental health professionals have signed a petition asking that trump be removed from office since he is clinically insane….I wonder how ole donnie is taking that? His poor little ego must be hurting a little from that one….okay, the MotoGP race is going to start so I’m going to do that….
April 23rd
Well…running on time today and have already read the paper…which is not hard with how crappy the GRP is these days….feel okay this morning and don’t hurt too much so that is cool….I did get the bathroom done yesterday and that was really needed….going to try to do the kitchen today but I need to cook first…going to make a pork loin in the pressure cooker today…almost forgot that the best pork loin I have ever made was in it so I am going to try it again…need to cook it longer this time so it is tender all the way through….had ice on the windshield this morning and I am really tired of it being too cold to ride when I get up in the morning….okay…need more coffee and to look at some news…more later….
Throttling it back a bit…
Well….after my breathless post yesterday, I wanted to come back here and ground myself back in reality in regards to Jason Chaffetz. Okay….I am going to admit I am probably wrong that he is quitting the house because of wrongdoing on his part…it’s possible, but I think there is a simpler explanation for his resignation…after doing a little reading on his career, I think the real reason is that he sees which way the wind is blowing and he doesn’t want his career derailed by association with trump…and his move yesterday to have trump explain to his committee that he is not violating the constitution with his business dealings seems to buttress that conclusion. Chaffetz also has seen much of the evidence against trump and his cronies and knows what it coming and wants to get on the right side of the law with it…and that would square with Chaffetz’s ambitions to higher office in the future. So, my return to sanity from the world of wishful thinking is complete….it was kind of fun over there, though, and I can’t promise that sanity is going to be permanent….
April 22nd
Well…woke up today and am not really sore anywhere and that is weird….okay…nope, my neck hurts so I guess I was wrong….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….and I had the top down out and back even though it was kind of cool…nice ride….didn’t get anything else done but today will be different…I am going to get the bathroom cleaned at least and maybe the living room, too….I am going to have to wait to get out on the bike today since it is still in the 30’s right now and I refuse to wear gloves near the end of April….I did get the new tube in the rear tire of the bike but it looks like I’ll need a new tire too since the cords are starting to go and it has a thump to it that is annoying….more later….
Yow…this is big…
Well…the pieces are falling into place on why Jason Chaffetz abruptly resigned from congress today…. money laundering for the Russians through his campaign since the Russians knew of his long term affair and were blackmailing him about it….I thought it was strange that he got a 10 million dollar donation from trump the day after he released the Comey letter before the election….and now information is coming out that the Russian connections go much wider than trump and his cronies. A source has said today that the FBI has a tape of both Ryan and McConnell talking about how to launder Russian mob money through their campaigns. Yep, you heard that right…the speaker of the house and the senate majority leader are on tape colluding to launder money for the Russians…how corrupt are the damn repubs? Can it get worse? Yep…I’ve been saying it for a long time that these were the most corrupt people ever to run this country and now it appears I was right….and the reason that ole Jason resigned so abruptly is that he is cutting a deal and that is probably part of it…I just can’t wait to see the perp walks that are going to come from this….impeach the whole lot of them….
Okay…I thought I’d better come back here for a minute to temper the breathlessness of this post…sure don’t want to be the left wing version of Breitbart or Infowars, sites that lie and lie and lie for political gain…let’s just leave this as something to watch for….and see what happens…..don’t want to hurt my credibility by going too far…and if this isn’t true, I’ll be back to say I was wrong….
