I now presume that if COVID-19 had been described as an 'illegal immigrant' rather than a disease,

that whole "you can't make me wear a mask" movement never would have come up.....

I woke up this morning totally believing that it was Monday....

First I checked my checking account, wondering why my SS deposit hadn't arrived yet,
although sometimes they are late....

then wondering why 'Story' sub-digital channel was showing biographies,
instead of military histories which they do on Monday....

Also, I was having trouble with my phone, or I thought I was....
thought it was stuck posting the date from the day before...

Took me almost an hour to realize that it was Sunday and not Monday.


Maybe I was too anxious for Monday to arrive, being my Social Security 'payday'---

or maybe I just wanted to skip the Sunday morning news-shows,
which I mostly did because I woke up too late.....???

(I especially don't wish to see little LIndsey on 'Face The Nation'
or ANY OTHER Sunday morning show EVER AGAIN, or anywhere else!!!)



Any other retirees experience ever experience this problem ??---
I suspect there ARE some....

Is DU being incredibly slow this morning, or

is it just on my end?? Could be, but I don't recall ever having as much trouble as this morning....

bah, probably my ancient computer

Cheers to all!

In my humble opinion, Trump may have just DELIVERED the US Senate to the Democrats in 2026! (along with the House!)

Trump and the Republicans were ALREADY at 2006 Bush disapproval poll ratings over the economy,
WITHOUT any new middle eastern war----

and NOW they want to add a NEW "Iraq war" on top of that ???

"NOBODY VOTED FOR THAT!"--- and indeed, Trump RAN on
NOT starting any new wars---- before he became a 'neo-con' himself!
Even many MAGATS are now bailing on him over THIS particular 'broken promise'!

And, before he started this NEW WAR against Iran,
Republicans were ALREADY starting to panic about their continued control of the Senate!-----
before this NEW SHIT was thrown against the wall!


I think this will TURN the upcoming Senate general elections
in Ohio, Maine, Alaska and TEXAS---

(and possibly some other states which I can't imagine right now---
and that the Democratic incumbents/candidates in any 'swing states'
will HOLD their seats this November!)


((YEAH, I'd rather that the 'High-Chair Hitler' hadn't done this,
but we can't seem to control him---

but I think this is the 'silver lining'!))



((( Too bad Iranian civilians may 'pay the price' for it,
but 'it is what it is'! )))

Pink Floyd's prediction for the 2026 Trump SOTU.....

Trump's 2026 State of the Union speech..... Pink Floyd's prophetic translation!

THAT'S IT, switching to the 'Gilmore Girls' digital channel, ten minutes before they come on....

Actually I didn't "watch" beyond the first ten minutes, but he's been lying and droning on in the background ever since....

My ancient unloaded shotgun got heavy to hold, so I've been here since then,
reading and possibly saying too much...

"Republican BULLSHIT in Washington D.C. has increased 3,000% since I took office!"

He won't say that, but somebody should--- so I am!

Another of the great 'singer/songwriters' of which I think we have too few today---


Studio version with lyrics:

"I am the morning D.J. at W-O-L-D...." Harry Chapin

Another 'old' favorite of mine by Harry Chapin--- one of the greatest 'singer/songwriters'!
