I saw a clever and appropriate post from Governor Tim Walz, “I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national Security advisor.” Get Smart was the creation of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry premiering in 1965. Agent 86 was played by Don Adam’s and his trusted DEI assistant was Barbara Feldon, Agent 99. Maxwell relied on the Shoe phone for his communications and when it was “classified” he would utilize the “cone of silence.” Of course the privacy apparatus was invented by Professor Cone. The evil enemy was Chaos. The show was a parody of the times, James Bond and Inspector Clouseau were the idols of the day. Maxwell used several catchphrases repeatedly, “missed it by that much” and “would you believe”. It seems history has repeated itself without the humor, the band of l8 senior leaders of the White House lack the poise and charm of Bond and other than the bumbling could not hold Clouseau’s hat.
Houthi PC small group on an insecure channel discussing war plans. Eighteen of our senior Trump officials on a chat string plus one reputable journalist. They can deflect and lie—as is the new standard practice but the simple fact is they put our troops at risk with this breach of protocol. All of those involved should be gone—problem is they are the ‘best and brightest’, hand picked by #47. Perhaps the devil we know is better than the one we would meet next. I see the tide turning as recent elections have shown Democrats finding great success in very red districts. America has the chance to mobilize around taking back the House and Senate in less than two years.
I caught a bit of flack for admitting I was rooting for Canada in their hockey game with the United States. Now I am rooting for Canada and applauding their resolve to go “elbows up” with the Trump threats and tariff’s. Canada is an independent country and has no desire to join the US. Every thinking citizen in either country has to wonder why we picked a fight with our friend and neighbor? Don’t think logically, it is the pipe dream of the Orange wanna-be King to expand his empire. Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for snap elections so that he can form a new Government that will unify Canada’s resolve to protect their democracy and economic viability. Wish we could call for a snap election.
Take heart, protests around the country are having an impact. People are “pissed” off, and not just Democrats and independents, many of those who voted for the Wanker are remorseful. I realize your Republican U S congressmen do not want to face you in contentious town hall settings. I hope you will tell them what you think in a blizzard of e mail’s and phone calls. We need them to do their jobs!!
If you really want to be saved, the new White House Faith Office is just the ticket. Televangelist Paula White has a special offer for Passover, basically send them $1000 and get “..seven specific supernatural blessings for your body, your family, your finances and your future.” She goes on to say, for those who honor God with a gift of $1000 or more, God will assign an angel to you who will among other things give you “long life, prosperity, take sickness away and give you a special year of blessing.” Believe it or not—there is more, your gift gets you trinkets and trash—a “10 inch high Waterford cross and some other special stuff. I thought hawking Tesla’s was over the top, this is not a joke. Paula and her spiritual advisers have endorsed and blessed Trump as he carries out his destructive mission on our democracy. I am not making this up—holy guacamole!!!!
Amanda Gorman is a generational poet. In “The Hill we Climb” she wrote, “for there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” Gorman also observed, “only when we’re drowning do we understand how fierce our feet can kick.” Words that hopefully inspire us to keep up the fight for what is right.
