Once again it is time for some Random Musings On Current Events from the mind of a quiet, unassuming (at least in my own opinion) person observing the ramblings, rumblings, rants, raves and revelations in the media from behind the front lines of a purple state. I present these ramblings, rumblings, rants and revelations in a sort of stream of conscious journal format and, yes, there may be some sarcasm thrown in.
My goodness, what happened to the past two weeks? I really like to write one time per week if for no reason than it gives me a chance to clear all the spam comments out of the blog’s inbox. Spam that has increased since the blog’s hosting company was bought by another company and at the same time the anti-spam app started charging more money. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I am being shook down? Well, I do not receive any money for my ramblings and I am quite certain that the major search engines have shadow banned me so I suppose I will just have to suck it up and continue to clear the spam out manually.
I read a report that Al Queda is running rampant in Africa beheading Christians and otherwise spreading their particular brand of terror. At the same time Christian Armenians are being killed by Islamic fundamentalists in western Turkey. During this time I have watched some mainstream media news and not a mention of these atrocities but we heard all about the starved Israeli hostages in Gaza. Please do not misconstrue that I do believe we need to hear about the starved Israeli but I have to ask why do we not hear about the brutalized and murdered Christians? What makes the starved Israelis more important news than the murdered Christians?
I have to commend the woman who was senselessly beaten in Cincinnati last week for speaking up. I would imagine the others who were beaten are too afraid to go public. It seems that the city of Cincinnati is ruled by criminals when the law abiding citizens are too afraid to speak up for fear of reprisals while the criminals are free to terrorize. My goodness even a city council woman supported the thugs who did the brutalizing. Umm, ma’am, slavery ended more than 160 years ago and it has been 60 years since the civil rights laws were passed. It is time to grow up and start acting like responsible adults and take responsibility for your actions and quite blaming everyone else for your problems. Quit buying into the race baiting charlatans who keep stirring up the pot (i.e. Al Sharpton etc.) to enrich themselves at your expense.
I am happy to see that the US Dept of Justice is opening a grand jury regarding the Russian collusion hoax. It is about time but I am not going to hold my breath that too much will happen. I suppose my cynicism tank is completely full and it will take some serious actions to drain it. Kind of like Epstein and all of the hullabaloo around him that really amounts to nothing more than that, Hullabaloo. In other words my cynicism tank will start to empty when I see actual charges being filed, files being released with names, and people are being convicted. I really do not buy any excuses up to and including national interest because, quite honestly, not exposing truths in these matters is in direct opposition to the national interest when the governed are losing trust and faith in the governing.
Lastly, I burst out laughing when I saw President Trump on the roof of the White House touring it while answering questions from the press corps on the ground. Such a 180 degree departure from the previous occupant of the White House at least physically. It really is good to see a man who is physically fit, mentally fit, and with the experience that Donald Trump brings to the presidency. Oh and by the way I just chuckled again.
God bless America and all her citizens and residents, no matter whether they care enemies, not enemies or somewhere between. Additionally, forgive me for my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me.
