In Case You've Wondered
My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.
If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com
One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.
I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Feckless, Supposed Leadership
If Congress wasn't a money grubbing, feckless, cowardly body of supposed politicians, the likes of Pelosi, Waters, McCain, and others just as ridiculous in their actions, would be censored, or outright thrown out of Congress. In any other endeavor requiring balanced, logical efforts, this type of insanity would never be tolerated.

The Big Unanswered Question
It's known the Clinton campaign paid for a dossier from an organization known for fabricating false narratives and ruthlessly using the information to destroy credibility and positions. That, and it's known high ranking administrative officials in the FBI colluded to influence, and take part, in an investigation founded on the fake information from the dossier. That, and released classified information, while deliberately shutting down a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton.
How far were they willing to go to stop a presidency? More lies? More efforts to corrupt justice? Maybe even assassination? We may never know, but if I was Trump, I wouldn't be cordial, or restrained. I'd be after my enemies, and ruthless with my actions. Some might not call this a coup, but I have a feeling there are many involved that had that as a contingency. A less polite society would have heads on a pole.

Two Hens and Tort
A restaurant in Virginia booted the White House press secretary from the premises. The co-owner did so due to her standards, and much coercion from her staff.
This, in my opinion, is completely up to the discretion of the restaurant. No restaurant, or any business, should be forced to serve those they don't want in their establishment. In a perfect world, the incident would be over, and the restaurant could continue feeding its clients. Unfortunately, that won't happen.
The restaurant is being bombarded by negative reviews, and the detractors are from all over the United States. I'm sure the usual ugly remarks and threats are numerous, which can be hard on a business if it has an internet site. The sheer volume of nasty comment, or emails, can choke a server and increase the cost for business.
There are many supporters too, but if the supporters are the usual supporters for those so quick to react without thinking, their not known for their spending, or charity. They'll swear their allegiance, and then shake their head, when the restaurant closes the door.
To add insult to injury, there is another restaurant in Virginia with the same name. Their business may suffer, and if enough damage is done, they may seek the help of a personal injury attorney to reduce the losses.
I doubt the restaurant survives. Such actions, with nationwide coverage, don't end well. The co-owner, and staff, probably thought they were preserving their integrity, which is a noble action. Unfortunately their ignorance may lead to bankruptcy, and unemployment. They choose the battle, but never realized they already lost the war.

Dinosaur Movies
There's a new Jurassic movie just out. The reviews are not really kind, and it appears to leave the door open for a future film.
I wasn't thrilled by any of the sequels to Jurassic Park. It's probably because the parasitic film industry tried to destroy the host, with the hope of huge profits. Still, enough money was made to keep the greed unchecked.
I think I could enjoy a Jurassic movie where the dinosaurs overrun Washington, take over the government, cause mayhem, and the entire nation is threatened. The problem I see is that between McCain, Pelosi, and the other dinosaurs already in Washington, the plot would seem like a remake.
We already have a Jurassic Washington D.C. It would be fun to watch, if I didn't have to work so many hours to pay for the "entertainment", and watch the dinosaurs daily on the television.

Eyes Closed
I've been reading about the invading family children current crisis for the last few days. From what I understand, parents of these children (which are many times not the parents) are separated from the children, when the statutes demand the children are released. After the release, they may be sent to a federal funded day care facility for me to help finance.
Invading a country without permission is not allowed in most countries. In some, they shoot you at the border. It's what keeps a country, and its citizens, sovereign from other nations. Promoting such, or ignoring the laws, is sedition, or treason.
So, if you haven't quite figured this out, scale down the size, and imagine a Guatemalan family knocking on your front door, demanding asylum, and expecting you to allow them to stay, while paying their expenses. I know what I would do, and have a strong feeling over 95% of all people would to the same.
