Donald Trump.  A day of reckoning is coming.

What We See

 All of us only see a small sliver of the world/universe but think we we see a much bigger sliver than we actually see. Some people even think they have all of the answers or else know where to find all of the answers. It's quite comical when you finally see this. It's a mark of intellectual maturity making you see that you should be a lifetime learner

Some Mornings

 Some mornings I try to think my way thru things. Some mornings I just sit quietly and as Paul McCartney says, let it be. Other mornings I just make it up as I go along, hoping for inspiration, hoping something will turn up. This morning it's the latter.

 If the following words scare you, then you are laughable, clueless, subject to ridicule. Marxist. Socialism. Hoax. Distraction. Epstein. Health insurance subsidies. You need help, but you will never realize it.

 My reasoning ability and analysis skills aren't anything to be proud of, but I try and I feel better with them than trusting blind intuition.

 As the poet William Butler Yeats observed after the end of the First World War, the center is not holding, while the best lack all conviction. During this second coming of Donald Trump, however, you better believe that it won’t be mere anarchy that is loosed upon the world.

Are You With Me?

 On this overcast and dreary day in Shelby County, Alabama, unlike General Patton who says we are always advancing, I suggest it’s a good day to consolidate our current position, and take stock of where are before advancing. After all, haste makes waste, it’s hard to make a wrong turn if you’re not turning, and besides, it’s a long way to Tipperary, but we’ll get there soon enough. Are you with me?
