off the top of my head...

So we must keep trying.  Try Try Again..
So I have another nearly blind bird in my infirmary if I don't have complete success this time, I will be very upset, but I won't give up. 

I completely forgot that Biden/Harris was on 2020 News Hour last evening, so I will catch the highlights on the evening news...I can't believe the crap Donald is saying..."there will be burning in the streets, murder and mayhem..." OH but wait why hasn't anyone pointed out that HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH already?  And it is HE has plans to cut grants to local Police Depts, while Biden has said he intends to increase Federal Funding to help with better training.  Biden intends to close private run Prisons and put more effective efforts into the Sentencing phase of non violent crime,....he intends to get rid of ICE! I wish Border Patrol could be put to better  use like putting a stop to Illegal Drugs entering this country! Unite the children being detained back into the arms of their parents.  

Yes the very thing he is declaring the "violent' left will do is what has already happened on his watch...mostly white nationalists creating violence in the streets...and disillusioned blacks who seem to be at the bottom of the barrel.
Why did it happen? Because he did NOTHING to solve the problem of WHY the Black Lives Matter movement was formed in the first place he didn't force McConnell to pass the Bill introduced by the House, ...to end police brutality against people of color and poor whites for that matter...

Why aren't they sitting on Steve Bannon's neck he is spouting out anti government rhetoric saying his arrest is political...Well why is he saying that? He is NOT a politician as far as I can see so why is he saying that? Maybe he is declaring the truth what is between the lines is "I am a threat to the political stability of this country"....I think that is exactly what he is saying! 

He is controlling Trump from afar  he has his hand in what does and does not get done, he is orchestrating the dissolving of our democracy to the Utopian Nationalist Society he wants one without Poor, downtrodden,  and an all White Society of Capitalists...yet he was not treated as an "enemy of the State," altho he is a huge enemy of the State...in the way he thinks that we need to return to some sort of religious controlled society with it's roots of Capitalism and stamp out socialism in all sectors.   That article is old but I think it can give some sort of a look into the mind of this man. You can not go back...you can only go forward and try new ideas.  

The humidity is OFF the charts today...Just tending to the bird had me so sweat sogged I had to shower and change clothes.   The humidity is currently 95% That is like being in a steam room set to 104 degrees! The dogs did not even want to go out for their morning explore. Having 2 hurricanes in the Gulf is just peachy...the west burns to the ground and we are drenched in moisture.  

I see most of the Covid surge is now in the midwest where it had not been making too much trouble, but now the curve is spiking, South Dakota, check out this linear scale it shows how the virus just continues to rise 
Here is my state....it held steady until the Shut Down was lifted...then it has been a steady rise.

Trump is so desperate he has forced the FDA to approve a plasma treatment that uses antigens of the recovered to infuse into the sick...the studies done have shown 35% improve at a faster rate, but it will not STOP the virus from happening...once again it's an ambulance in the valley instead of fence at the edge of the cliff! He only wants to say "we are curing people of the virus" completely political as is every move he makes...he could care less if people live or die his true self was speaking when he said, "it is what it is."  

Came up in comments on my other blog..and this is something I read not long ago the 1918 pandemic took 2 yrs to reach herd immunity.  This one could take that long.  And people are forgetting in 2017, we had 80,000 deaths in the USA from the Flu, and that is with the so called "flu shot" which is a complete guessing game.  

I will not be watching the fiasco that will be the Republican Convention...key note speakers a St Louis couple who pulled guns on people walking past their house on the way to the Mayor's mansion to protest.  They have been charged with a felony gun charge! 

They broke the law...and Trump wants to glorify them.  I thought they looked completely insane a couple who are afraid of their own shadows.  If they really felt threatened why did they go outside? NO one was trying to break in.  They were the threat. It's people who have guns killing people who don't have guns!
 
To clarify Trump didn't just start  his dislike of the postal service recently.... Jeff Bezos owns Amazon, he uses the USPS to ship his Amazon orders for the most part...and he also owns the Washington Post...AH HA a Never-Trump newspaper...so by hurting Amazon shipments the Sick POTUS thinks he can dethrown Bezos...

Outwardly, the president has framed his enmity toward Amazon as a defense of the Post Office, raging on Twitter about the “many billions of dollars a year” the U.S.P.S. supposedly loses for “being their Delivery Boy”—a situation he says puts “many thousands of retailers out of business.” 

so this is the real reason for his attempt to disrupt the postal service, add to that now the voting by mail...he always has a Conspiratorial reason for his actions. 
So when he starts to casually mention something in a tweet or in one of his off the wall remarks to the press you can be sure he has already begun a secret attack in some way.  

Trump's wants to Boycott GoodYear tires because they said MAGA hats are not okay in the workplace...This is how he gets even.  So Biden is cashing in on that by playing ads in Ohio and NC where Goodyear factories are operating.. using that footage!  It's a dogfight at this point.  I just hope Biden doesn't get too excited he can run off topic pretty easy when he gets excited I've noticed.

So that's what is on my mind today caring for the blind bird, Keeping my eyes open to what's going on in the world, and trying to stay cool!  

Do you scare easy?

ONDERING ABOUT STUFF...

I watched the DNC for the first time ever the whole  thing because the old way it seemed to be "them" this time it seemed to be US, I liked the way it was done, could have had more live speeches but still the message came across and not the hoopla...
I thought Joe's speech was clear and conscience and left no room for doubt about how he plans to lead...he has plans and now the work is getting it thru the Evil Blockade which is our Senate...MAN I Hope beyond words we can get that too for the People! Then the very first bill I want to see pass is the one that Abolishes the Electoral College. 

So Steve Bannon is arrested for Fraud...lol and Trump couldn't say "I really don't know the guy"...since he was his Chief Strategists for a full freaking year! So he said "I haven't seen him in a long time, and I thought what he was doing was bad, so I said I don't want any part of it."  So he basically admitted he knew what Bannon was doing yet he never turned him in?  He has sworn an oath to serve and uphold the laws of this land....and he broke them over and over...

Bannon worked to get Donald elected and has been pulling strings all along.  Imagine that---> he took money from a "Build the Wall" fund... then he was sailing around with a Chinese Fugitive who happens to be a Billionaire...named Guo Wengui and he and Bannon, are involved in a Media venture called GTV Media Group....something similar to You tube...I guess it's like the Fox Media Version of YouTube, like a not so Free Press version???  A Place where terrorists, white supremacists, Chinese fugitives and Conservative politicians can spew hate...possibly? hmmm  I guess that fugitive just happened to run into Bannon....NO, they been cooking up this so called Media Group for a while and scamming investors one of which blew the whistle on it!!  

The guy is a corrupt media propaganda terrorist and Trump is doing his bidding. I for one am happy to see Bannon being arrested and not only that but more than likely Trump will be linked to the whole thing.  The way he attacks the free press he would surely be pushing this GTV Media like he pushes Fox, lead the sheep to the trough...NOT only that but the dismantling of the Post Office this is how many people are connected to the world. Post Office is Media Movers. 

It's so laughable, the beer bellies who donated probably not too happy bout the wall scam but I doubt they would admit they were conned...same as Trump conned all those people in his Trump University...it's a SCAM, I kinda fell sorry for them.....no not really anyone who is silly enough to send money to Trump has to know it's a scam...don't they?  Now he is running his scam on the entire USA with the blessing of the GOP!

This is what went down yesterday with the inquiry into the postal service...(from the Hill)

The former vice chairman of the U.S. Postal Service board of governors and inspector general accused Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin of trying to politicize the independent agency during testimony before lawmakers on Thursday.

David Williams, a former Postal Service inspector general who resigned in April as the vice chairman of the agency's board of governors, said that he stepped down from his role because he felt the Treasury Department was trying to make the traditionally apolitical agency a "political tool."

“I resigned from the board of governors because I was convinced that its independent role had been marginalized and that representations regarding an independent Postal Service for the nation were no longer truthful," Williams said during a forum hosted by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Now you know what is going on with the postal service...it was easy to overthrow and that is what they are in the process of doing! NOW think about it the  the US Treasurer Secretary creating a "Mail for ransom?" They are trying to control the media and that includes the USPS. It's how we get news of what they are doing! No flyers of the political opposition would arrive in your mail box, no ballot, no World News and Report, NO Washington Post, No NY Times, NONE of your preferred MEDIA would arrive!!  ONLY what they want to deliver....imagine that. The National Inquirer would show up in every mailbox...LMAO

Anyway I know Im a broken record on politics right now but it is a very important part of life in this country it's not everyday a freakin' govt take over happens if we don't talk it now then WHEN? When it's too late to do anything about it? When we have to try and scribble notes to each other from Jail cells? 

People who sit on their hands and say nothing or do nothing are sewing their own lips together.  We have a brain, a mouth, and fingers for a reason let us use them. We need to talk about it!  

So it's raining today we really don't need it, wish I had the breath of Supergirl so I could blow these clouds West where it IS needed! The fires are so devastating.  I think in 1000 years a Tropical Jungle will exist in the Eastern USA and in the West a Desert Wasteland! That seems to be the pattern we are in... today the weather man said some showers, it's been steady hitting it since I rose at 7:30 and here it is 3 hrs later still coming down and getting harder...
Maybe dinosaurs will rule again! 

Last night I was waiting to hear Joe's acceptance speech and altho I like PBS, I could have done without all their "panel" opinions...so I was flipping the channel back and forth from the coverage of the Convention to the CW and their investigation into BIGFOOT...yeah...real multi-tasker here...lol Such an obvious faked video...it was a good laugh tho.

So are you a vampire or werewolf type? It's like vanilla or chocolate? Ok Im for the werewolf, I don't like Vampires they are just creepy they manipulate people and I don't like that.
I remember the very last movie I saw here in my hometown theater the Little, I went to see "The Day the Earth Stood Still" a remake of the 1951 sci-fi movie...., well you have probably seen it...this was in 2008
They have an upstairs theater and the main one is downstairs...I bought my ticket and went up, no one else in there...and then a man entered...he walked right up to me (Im wondering while munching my popcorn, wth) 

"Mam, you are the only ticket we sold for this movie, so unfortunately it's not worth our while to show it....so you can go down and watch the movie downstairs or we will give you a refund."

So I asked "what's playing downstairs." 

"It's called Twilight."
"What's it about?""Teen aged Vampires in the Pacific NorthWest.""I dunno, I'm a Werewolf type.""Well, you watch it, and if you don't like it I'll still give you back your money, is that fair?""Okay fair enough." 

I did enjoy it so I didn't ask for my money back... I did not see the follow ups on the big screen but I rented those when they made it to DVD.

Many years later I saw,  "The Day the Earth Stood Still." It pretty much sucked. So sometimes there are happy accidents, then there's those times when 3 million people's vote didn't count and that is way scarier than vampires, werewolves, or a bigfoot!
