Well…as all of us do in the reality based world, every day we wonder how 38% of the people can still support the worst person in the world even as they look at the walmart tags in their hands and the price at the pump and everywhere else that shows that all of the inflation we’re seeing is a direct result of the idiot trump and his ignorance of economics…but they don’t seem to care and now we know why…this same 38% only watches the propaganda on fox news and get their news from no other source…even after a million people died from covid as idiot boy did nothing to stop it, 63% of fox news viewers gave idiot boy an excellent rating of how he handled the pandemic…and the whole “feud” with the pope was largely manufactured buy fox by lying about what the comments he made about warmongers meant and that they are not following jesus…but fox turned that into a direct attack on idiot boy when it wasn’t…and the attempt to send lil marco to the Vatican to patch things up was widely reported as a failure in every other news outlet but fox as they crowed that the trip was a “huge success” and they pushed the idiot as a “great negotiator” when it was just another failure to pile on the mountain of them…so this is really why 38% of this country still thinks the idiot trump is the “savior” that the US needs…it’s all fox propaganda and an organized fraud to hoodwink people that don’t know any better…stop watching fox news is what I always say…and it’s still right…geez…
May 14th
Well…up and moving at 5:15 this morning but feel okay so I guess I can live with it…trying to dose myself with more coffee this morning so I saved the leftovers from the new pot I made yesterday and then set up a new pot that I’m brewing now…have to do something so I don’t crash at noon again…I guess we’ll see…it’s only 42 out there right now so there will be an indoor ride to start the day but I may be able to get out in shorts today if I wait til noon or so…I wonder if it’s worth it to wait? I do need to cook today and, for the first time in months, I’m going to make a pork chop and some roasted potatoes and I wonder how my system is going to fare with that? Now I’m just weighing if I should marinate it or just have it with just salt and pepper…who knows? I think I’m going to mow just the front today sine the rest of the yard is looking pretty bad with not getting any rain out here for weeks so it looks like I lose the lawn for another year…crap…I did get some work done around here yesterday with cleaning the kitchen and washing my bedding…didn’t get outdoors for a ride with the high only getting to 46 here and that sucks for the 13th of May…we do have a little warm up coming and may see temps almost normal for this time of the year this weekend…I’d like to get the windows open for a bit to air this place out…and then have my allergies flare and be miserable…yay…more later….
Still worn out…
Well…another day of feeling just damn worn out and I am getting a little concerned about it…I mean I had more energy when I was hungover and drinking and that just sucks since I started this out feeling great…and I felt great to start the day but then around noon the bottom fell out again and I felt exhausted all afternoon…I know I did do the weight work and an indoor ride and then stripped the bed and did laundry, cleaned the microwave and the stove but that’s not enough to use all my energy…oh, and the grocery run…maybe it had something to do with getting out of bed at 5am…or the old thing I always blame of not eating enough but today what I had was an orange for breakfast, then a bowl of soup for lunch, and then some rice stir fry for dinner…and that is close to 1K calories and I’ve been surviving on that for years now…and I didn’t even do an outdoor ride today since it never got to 50 out here…so, I’m going to stop bitching about the lack of energy and just shift into survival mode and try to figure out what is going on…reading time…
Going backwards…
Well…for all of you workers out there, there really is a reason why you feel like the economy the idiot trump has created is leaving you behind…over the past year, wage gains were 3.6% which would be pretty good in any normal economy…but in the trump rigged, Iran war economy, inflation has been 3.8% meaning you really have gone backwards…and the real inflation from idiot boy’s war and tariffs haven’t even hit yet…do you drink coffee? Well that sucks for you with prices up almost 50% and analysts saying that you can expect another 20% increase on top of that this year…do you drive a car? Well that sucks for you, too with gas prices up over 50% since the moron in chief started his stupid war in Iran…do you like to eat food? Get ready for shortages as farm bankruptcies surge 58% over the past year and costs of fertilizer see a 100% increase…and no food gets grown without it so you can see what’s coming…I really do hope some of the maga folks that saddled this country with this asshole starve to death…nothing else will get them to abandon the repubs even though idiot boy just said that he “doesn’t care” about American’s financial difficulties…after all, most of you are not billionaires and that is all he cares about…geez…
May 13th
Well…back to getting up early after not taking anything to sleep last night but I sure like how I feel better than yesterday or the day before…so I can live with it…it’s grocery run day today and I can test out the old school tire balancing I had done last Friday that has to be better than the no weights on two tires…I can live with a little vibration but not with the car shaking so bad I couldn’t see out of the mirrors…it’s 45 here so I won’t have to warm the car up this morning before I head out…I still may have the trans and diff oil changed out to synthetic this summer to help the shifting when cold…don’t think we got enough rain for my lawn to survive since it’s turning yellow already after the drought we’ve had here and that sucks…oh, well…I do need to clean the kitchen today and have to start thinking about doing the windows for spring…the weather is going to break a bit over the weekend and we may see 70’s for only the 2nd time this year…is spring here? Ha, ha…yeah, that made me laugh…how can it be spring when it was 33 degrees yesterday morning? Not much to do today…just the normal stuff that I need to start here in a minute and then I’ll just let the day flow…more later…
This kinda sucks…
Well…still feeling pretty darn worn out today but better than yesterday and I still don’t know what the heck is going on…have been trying to eat more but there is just so much I can stand…went to the library today and it kinda sucks that two of the Lee Child Reacher novels were the source for two of the seasons of “Reacher” that I watched on the indoor bike the past couple of weeks…so I may go back to the library tomorrow to replace them with ones I haven’t seen because that only leaves me with 5 books to get me through the week and that is not enough…I did get an outdoor ride in today even though it was pretty cold and I had to laugh at the stupid turkeys I saw…one of them was on the curved bridge over Ruddiman creek trying to get through the mesh on the railings that keep people from falling in and a pair of them trying to figure out the fence around the old paper plant…just running back and forth 6 feet and banging their heads into the fence…then I saw one walking on the beach that then took off running across the beach road and took off and flew over the boardwalk to the dunes behind my water stop bench…never saw one on the beach before…weird, weird birds…time for reading…
Weakest “president” in history…
Well…as the idiot trump lurches from failure to failure and has lost the war against Iran, he now goes to China begging for some kind of diplomatic win that he can brag about..or lie about is more descriptive because whatever he does, he is going to lie and say that whatever agreement he gets from Xi is going to be the “bestest in history” and he will crow that his brilliance has defeated China like no one else could…so now let’s look at reality…idiot boy goes into this summit as the weakest president in the history of this country that is going to have his ass handed to him by Xi as he begs for a win and he’ll concede anything to get his talking point…how about promising to not defend Taiwan if Xi gives him some vague promise of future cooperation? That’s what’s on the table and no other “president” in history has abandoned our allies like idiot boy as he tries to align our country with Putin and the other autocrats in the world…just look what he tried to do in Hungary before their election…I mean sending the VP to stand next to the dictator at political rallies? That kind of bullshit has never been done and shows how desperate he is to keep dictators in power…geez…
May 12th
Well…this is new…it’s only 33 degrees here right now and there is a possibility of snow…in frickin May and in my long lifetime, I’ve never seen snow in May here in Michigan…ick…I did sleep a little better last night and not out of bed til after 5:30…dreams are still coming and if that’s all that comes from not drinking, I’ll take it… haven’t even started the coffee yet and I do feel a little better today and I hope that continues after the exhausting day I had yesterday…not sure what is going on but I don’t want another day like that today…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I need to clean some in the kitchen and do the microwave this morning along with the stove top that I haven’t cleaned and should with all of the cooking I’ve been doing lately…not sure if I’ll get out for an outdoor ride today with the rain/snow that is coming in but that will be okay…my thighs hurt pretty badly after abusing them the past few days…I do have about 1/4 of the last book to read today so I can get more tomorrow after the grocery run…it looks like we may be having a warm up later in the week with temps forecast to be around 70 but I’ll believe that when I see it…more later…
Just used up all day…
Well…today kind of sucked…I had no energy from the time I got up and still don’t have any at 5pm…not sure what this is about but I’m going to try to eat a big snack of popcorn later with real butter on it to try to do something to fix this…I feel like I’ve had lots of drinks last night and that is just wrong…I did have the energy to get an outdoor ride in but it’s been a slog to get anything else done today…I did try to eat more today and did have a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast and an orange for a snack before I had a bowl of soup for lunch and then another plate of stir fry for dinner…and the calories for all that has to be over 1k…I’m at a loss for what’s happening…oh, well…maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow…I did get laundry done today and needed it since I had run out of clothes to wear…it never got over 54 today and there is another freeze warning on for tonight and it’s going to be even colder with rain tomorrow…but we have a warm up coming for the weekend and we’ll be in the 70’s…finally…time to read…
The delusional idiot is at it again…
Well…how many times has the orange idiot trump declared there was an agreement to end the Iran war when it was just a lie? This delusional moron thinks he can create reality just by saying it but the Iranians have something to say about that…this is what you get when you fire all of the people who had the skills to negotiate an agreement…hey, kind of like the people who spent years negotiating the JCPOA ( the agreement that stopped Iran’s nuclear program under Obama that idiot boy tore up) who knew what the hell they were doing…and now we have two idiot real estate salesmen that the moron sent thinking that Iran would be as awed of them as idiot boy is who are into their 12th failure to get any kind of an agreement…and the Iranians grow stronger every day and all the idiot trump does is what he knows…to lie and bluster as a substitute for true diplomacy but the world has figured idiot boy out and they treat him with the disrespect he deserves…as he sits on the destruction of America’s standing in the world…we are the weakest we’ve ever been and it’s all because of the moron trump and his stupidity…geez…
