The Von Trump Family Slingers

First of all, my apologies to Julie Andrews and the Von Trapp Family Singers, but the title I have for this article is just way too tempting.  I awoke this morning to a whiff of fresh air, the sound of music and a peaceful easy feeling after a grand and glorious inauguration day.  In all, yesterday was a real break in the action.  It was a pleasure to see so many smiles and kind gestures happen in Washington D.C.  Quite a change from 2 weeks ago or the last 4 years for that matter.  I have to admit to all of you that it was a very emotional day and I did well up on more than one occasion.  As I had mentioned in a previous article, it has been 60 years since I last sat through an entire inauguration and there was a deja vu moment yesterday that first happened back in 1961  I listened to Robert Frost’s poem, “The Gift Outright” that he spoke from memory at JFK’s inauguration and I said to myself, “I should start writing more poetry.”  After watching and listening to Amanda Gorman yesterday reciting her poem, “The Hill We Climb” I said to myself, “I wish I had written more poetry.”  It was exhilarating to go from the dark into the light.

Speaking of The Dark Side, Darth Vader and his robot wife TR-2 skipped town and were whisked away to their usual exiled residence at Mar-A-Lago, much to the chagrin of the local city council.  I hear they have an edict over this issue, something to the effect that you can visit, but you cannot stay.  I believe there is a nice piece of remote property in Tristan Da Cunha that would work well.  I feel bad for the Bidens though, as the White House staff only had 5 hours to get rid of the Trump stench.  If they can accomplish that in only 5 hours, they are a miracle mob, because it’s going to take the Biden Administration years to delete the Trump stench world wide.  There is someone, however, that must be very elated now and that’s TR-2 as she is now free of her binding contract.  I bet she wasted no time walking (running)  down the ramp of Air Force One to a waiting limo.  Must be hell to have lived in the most famous house in the world.  Don’t you just feel so bad for the former 1st Robot?  Now what about the rest of the clan?  With any luck, they are already on their way to Tristan Da Cunha.  Isn’t it marvelous now to turn on the TV or computer and hardly see anything about the Trump Stump Brats vehemently exorcating fellow Republicans and slinging their shit that if they don’t tow the line and get behind their Dad, they are going to wake up in the middle of the night with their prized horses head laying next to them.  Well, better a horse’s head than another Republican.  Hey, that’s it, I believe I came up with an answer to this dilemma.  I have already mentioned it twice: Tristan Da Cunha, the most remote place on the planet.  Round up all of the Von Trump Family Slingers, throw in Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and that new gunslinger from Colorado, plus the entire Fox News Team and they can set up in their new digs and sling bullshit all they want with no competition.  Course the 246 residents probably have an edict that you can visit, but you can’t stay.  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
