2017 - September/ October

2017 - September/ October



FORMER PRESIDENTS gather to talk about our CURRENT “PRESIDENT” – Obama says Trump is trying to get the base all riled up to provide a tactical advantage of some kind; Bush (Jr) says Trump is demonizing politics, cutting people down and dividing them.  I see this; saw it from the start.  The Whitehouse has become a Reality TV show.

10-26:  So much devastation right now, this year, these past years… it’s scary, quite honestly.  California has sixteen separate wildfires burning all at once; more of the state appears to be on fire than not; surprisingluy, only 42 people have been reported killed by the fires, but thousands of homes and entire neighborhoods, even towns, have been destroyed.  Record breaking “highest/ latest” temperatures almost everywhere across the United States; this is only encouraging the wildfires in California.  Wind gusts fueling the fires and causing “fire tornados”.

A stupid group of teenagers, five boys, were throwing stones off an overpass and killed a father of four (Kenneth White), striking several other cars as well, having tossed a total of 24 stones.  The question is whether this is to be considered just a consequence of a “game” or a deliberate malicious act; murder…maybe not, but wreckless manslaughter at the very least.  These kids are 16 and 17 years old; one turned himself in.  This brings up questions about why boys would choose to do something like that, without thought of what might happen… what did happen.  More studies on adolescent psychology are needed to determine what may be the cause for this lack of conscience at times.

Senator John McCain has taken the lead in standing up against our current ‘President,’ Donald Trump.  I find it hard to even refer to him as the President of the United States; just seems like a big joke to me now, the Presidency.  Two more Republican senators have followed McCain in speaking out against the actions and behaviour of “the Donald.”  I don’t think he is going to even finish a full term; he may just get us into World War III in time to be impeached.  Frightening.

Robert Guillaume (“Benson”) and voice of “Rafiki” from the Lion King, died, also at the age of 89 years, of natural causes.  RIP ‘Benson.’
