Well that didn't take long.

  I saw some reruns of trump's rally in Phoenix last night. So much for trying to unify the country.

The man literally told the crowd that we are losing our culture and that he would rather build a wall to keep the Mexicans out than to keep our government running. To top it off, he even hinted that he might pardon the racist sheriff, Joe Arpaio.  

trump was unhinged and out of control, and at one point I honestly thought that he would start waiting for a laugh track after he completed every sentence. His new chief of staff, poor man, has to be wondering how he got himself into this mess.

trump, once again, made himself out to be the victim, and he flat out lied about what he said after the happenings in Charlottesville. In case you are keeping track that's 1,001 lies to the American people since taking office.  That, my friends, is a lot of lies. Even for a politician seeking political office.
Imagine that, a woman died in the protest, and trump is still running around whining about what transpired like he is the true victim.

But even worse than the lies andred meat he was throwing to his (half-full) auditorium of "deplorables",  was the shameful way he calle the rancid d out the two senators from the state that he was standing in. It was bad enough calling out Jeff Flake, but calling out the other senator who is battling cancer ---and who some consider a war hero--- was beyond the pale. It fired up his crowd so much that one of his sick deplorables was calling for the death of the man.

Hillary Clinton leaked portions of her new book today, and in it she called trump a "creep" that made her skin "crawl".

Yo Hillary, welcome to the club.                                                                                                 

Mean people and wild goats.

I feel like I am living in Barrow, Alaska in the middle of winter. I honestly could not tell the last time I saw the sun. It might not be 67 days ago, but it sure as ell feels like it.

And don't even get me started on the rain. April showers is supposed to bring May flowers; not more showers.

Anywhoo, the weather here on the East Coast kind of fits the mood of the country right now.
Maybe that's why we have been so mean to each other of late.

Think about it. You have the trump supporter who drives a tow truck refusing to help a disabled Bernie supporter who was stranded on the side of the road. He said that god told him not to help the poor woman. I guess the god of trump is not merciful.

 "This, ladies and gentlemen, is Donald Trump's America.

On Monday, a disabled woman's car broke down 45 minutes away from her home after she was in an accident in Asheville, North Carolina. When her family mechanic could not come to get her, he called a local tow truck driver — who also happens to be an evangelical Christian who voted for Donald Trump. What happened next defies common decency, the basic tenets of Christianity and good business practice.

Ken Shupe arrived on the scene to tow Cassy McWade's car and even began the process of hooking her car up to be towed. It was then that he noticed that she had a Bernie Sanders bumper sticker on her car." [Source]

Of course we all know what happened next. Sorry Cassy.  Next time leave the bumper sticker at home. We are trying to "make America great again."

But Bernie's supporters shouldn't get on their high horses just yet, because they were out on the political trail  being mean as well.

"Just days after Donald Trump sewed up the title of presumptive Republican presidential nominee, supporters of independent Vermont Senator and upstart Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came out in force to disrupt a Hillary Clinton speech in Los Angeles, forcing her to end the event early. Speaking to a largely Latino crowd in Monterey Park, Clinton weathered interruption after interruption, and as the local ABC affiliate reported, the protesters being led out all had Bernie Sanders’ name on their lips." [Source]

Things got so disruptive that Hillary had to cut her speech short.

People are so mean in America these days that poor Glenn Beck is literally crying about our sad state of affairs. Or at least the sad state of affairs of the republican party.

"Today on his radio program, the host let it be known that the GOP now belongs to Donald Trump and if Trump is the face of the party, that makes the party a bunch of racists. He disavowed everything he claimed Trump has caused the Republican party to stand for now, insisting that he has nothing to do with them anymore. He even went as far as to say Hillary Clinton will win the election.

“You will never elect another GOP person to high office ever again,” he claimed. His reasoning was that Trump has made the party appear so racist and Clinton will continue capitalizing on that, mobilizing a new generation of Democrat voters."

Glenn Beck calling the republican party a party of racist? My lord! What is the world coming to? 

Next you are going to tell me that wild goats have taken over a town somewhere. Wait....

"So much trouble in the world now Bless my eyes this morning
JAH sun is on the rise once again The way earthly things are going
Anything can happen"

Bob, (Marley) you speak truth.

Hosni Mubarak has ruled Egypt with an iron fist for over thirty years. Like others before him, with a similar ruling style, he has been an A-merry-can ally (1.5 billion is a lot of money) in a very volatile region of the world. So now what? His chickens, as the saying goes, are finally coming home to roost.

Egypt has a very young -and very unemployed- population, and they have taken to the streets. From the looks of it, they could be there awhile. Mr. Bush, if you had only waited this is what would have happened in Iraq. But noooo. Sorry folks, I couldn't resist.

Anyway, Hillary and Obama are scrambling like #7 on a Sunday afternoon at the Linc. They are trying to get on the right side of history. But, as Run- DMC so famously said: "It's Tricky".

If they come down too hard on Mubarak and speed up the revolution the end result could be the Muslim Brotherhood taking over. Not a good look if you are an A-merry-can. Don't come down on him and A-merry-ca will look like she is siding with an evil dictator who doesn't want to relieve himself of power pursuant to the will of the people. Again, not a good look.

What 's a president with a Muslim name to do?

O man here is a suggestion for you: Call your boy Hosni and beg him to step aside. Tell him that you will personally have him and his family escorted to a beautiful villa in Malibu where the A-merry-can government has laid it out with all the trimmings for him. Then, pray that the people of Egypt have democratic elections and a moderate government takes power. With any luck the joint will look like Turkey in twenty years.

Now this is all assuming that he will take your call. The pundits are already saying that you got the people fired up in Egypt with your little speech back in Cairo over a year ago. So let's just hope that Hosni isn't watching CNN.
