Something Is At Play Here... I Just Don't Know For Sure What It Is



 Since I'd Posted a Two-Fer accidentally on Sunday I'll have to give both of them a Minute before Publishing this one now.  *LOL*  I've been in a State of confusion and melancholy, something is in Play here, I just don't know what it is.  I did some Environmental Cleanup on Sunday Morning and gleaned a Bag and a Half of Aluminum Cans, people had been partay-ing over the Weekend for Reals!!!   I picked up a Breakfast To-Go on the way back Home from "First Watch" which was slammed on a Sunday Morning, so you'd of spent Hours waiting for a Table otherwise.  Plus, The Man really hasn't been well at all so bringing it Home for him was necessary.  Outings for him now are just not only hard on me, it's hard on him, so we just aren't doing it now.  




They recognized me at the Restaurant and asked about where he was and I said Home Sick, so they gave us the Hood Hookup big time.  This was allegedly just a single 'side' of Fresh Fruit to go with my Tropical French Toast that I got!  *LOL and Big Winks*  And The Man had the Wild Alaskan Salmon Bennie with Hashbrowns, which I didn't Photograph before he dived into it.  But, it was purdy too.  *LOL*  He Loves Salmon and I almost never cook Fish at Home coz I don't wanna stink up the House.  And he was in Bed before 7:00 p.m. and I'd fallen Asleep on the Sectional for another early Afternoon Nap.  So missed his Night Med reminders and Luckily The Son heard the reminder Alarm and gave it to his Dad.  *Whew*




Thank Gawd for the Backup coz lately I'm so Fatigued and Stressed Out that I'm Sleeping thru the Night time Med dosage he Needs at 6:00 p.m.! And the Kiddos have to remember and give it to him before he goes to Bed as early as he now has to and does.  Coz he too seems extra Exhausted with not feeling well and having a hard time Breathing.  The Air Quality has been shitty and it's allergy Season, plus he's got the weakened Heart and COPD, so, it's just a lot for him to Power thru right now to catch his Breath.  They haven't got him back on Oxygen, coz his Oxygen saturation seems in the Safe Zone, but, he feels like he can't Breathe, and, that's a Problem!!!




Above and Below, more Granddaughters.  This Post will be heavily laden with Family Photos of Adult Kids, Adult Grandkids, Great-Grandkids, and just some of all of their many Cousins.  Family has been sustaining me lately when shit has gotten real hard to move thru, Breathe deeply, and keep it Moving.  I don't know how folks without Family or extended Relatives hold it Down solo, that must be fucking hard!?!  Much Respect.   Emotionally and Mentally, I'm holding up pretty well, but Physically, it's wiping me out lately.  I'm gonna hafta consider some Stamina and Strength Training at The Gym I think to shore my Ass up enuf to get thru the entire day without needing a freakin' 4 Hour Nap by early Afternoon, that carries thru to late Afternoon!!!  It's pitiful... it's scaring the Kiddos!




They're like, every time we coast by you're Passed Out dead Asleep Mom/Gramma, you Okay?   And then with Dad/Grandpa, they just come in close to make sure he's still Breathing and they see some Movement!!!  *LOL*  Seriously, I do too, if he's too sound Asleep now and I can't HEAR him Breathing, my Hearts beats a lil faster thinking, Oh, No... and then have a Sigh of Relief when I see his Chest moving up and down!!!  *Whew!*  We don't wanna startle him Awake so he'd risk having another Heart Attack... so, you quietly and stealthily make sure he's still Alive!!!   Princess T said that at Work, some Regular Customers and even some Co-Workers have asked her if Grandpa is still Alive!!!   Coz nobody has seen him around anymore for so long.  She doesn't know whether to Laugh or think, Wow, that's an inappropriate thing to just come out and ask someone?!!!!!!

 




And I KNOW our Devices do Spy and Listen In on us all the damned time, coz I got a Letter in the Mail on Saturday from a Revocable Living Trust Attorney!!!  *Smiles*   Remember I had JUST been talking about considering drafting up one and talking it over with the Kiddos?!   Well, this Law Firm specializes in them and will give me a Free Consultation, so, may take them up on it actually and kept the Letter.  *LOL*  Yeah, it's intrusive and I don't Like that our Devices Spy on us and Listen In on our Private Conversations, Big Brother Is Watching comes to Mind {1984}, George Orwell's dystopian 1949 Novel is not so far fetched at all, in Real Time I think we're THERE now.  He'd Predicted by 1984, but, 2016 wasn't so far off with the Calculations for it forming.  With the Totalitarian Superstate forming for Reals, with the Ruling Party wielding total Power for their own Sake over all us inhabitants.




I also think of "Brave New World" {1939} and "Fahrenheit 451" {1953}.  Oddly, all these dystopian Warnings slash Predictions were made even before I was Born and are pretty damned accurate, given Todays Reality.  I don't think they should be under any Sci-Fi Genre anymore coz, frankly, it's not Science Fiction at all now... or even Fictional really, in many ways.  Sure, they made up Names of the Places, but, I think we always knew it could or would be here they were speaking of, really.  I never particularly thought they were speaking of somewhere else, some Fictional Place, they had a Place in Mind when they Wrote it, under the guise of a Made-Up Place.



The Kids were up before us Today, we'd slept in and it's 9:30 a.m., guess we Needed it.  But, now the Spawn are crashing around in the Kitchen like Bull Elephants and yelling at everyone about, "Who want's Breakfast?!"   So, if anyone WAS Asleep, they ain't now!  And The Daughter has the Music Station on and is belting out Songs, like she can Sing, which, Nope, she can't, Tone Deaf still and caterwauling.  *Ha ha ha*  So, Cooking and Bad Karaoke going on in there outside our Boudoir Door, there's no NOT hearing it... so, Yeah, NOW we're both up!!!  I never heard anyone scramble Eggs so loudly either!!!  *LOL*   The Daughter and The Son are both in there Cooking, so it should be Interesting.  For now they sound like they're getting along, cooperating, and Playing well with each other, but that could Turn on a Dime, and usually does, when Schizophrenic meets Autistic, it rarely gels.  *Winks*





I just Hope they don't wreck the Kitchen making One Meal, coz I had taken One for the Team last Night before Bedtime and cleaned everything in the Kitchen.  So, it DID look good and they're not known for running damage control behind their Meal Prep and Dirty Dishes.  I Clean as I go when I Cook and directly after eating, so, we never had that problem with it's just The Man, Princess T and I here.  She Cooks for herself most of the time and does her own Dishes often, so nothing would stack up.  The Daughter can Clean like a Merry Maid Service, so when she does tackle it, it's spotless and I can't match her Organization or Cleaning Abilities.  

 




It's WHEN she gets around to it and is in the Cleaning Frenzy tho', otherwise she'd walk right past it all as if she never saw it.  The Son is pretty good about Cleaning Up after himself but won't Clean what anyone else dirtied.  And The Young Prince... well... that would take a whole Post to go THERE!  *Eyes Rolling*   And I better go out there coz I just heard The Daughter say to her Brother in a Serious Tone, "Well, so long as I don't wanna Hang myself...", and so I Need to check what's going on in the Kitchen that might require a Hanging now???!!!!!  *LMAO*  Turns out he wanted a different kind of Music on and she said, well, so long as it was a kind that didn't make her wanna Hang herself of his Angst Metal Music.  Where we know all the Band Members are now Dead and most Killed themselves and their Music was a 'Clue' that was coming.  





I just saw a News Feed from a Vendor Acquaintance at the Antique Mall that she's Celebrating her 50th Cruise on Carnival Cruise Lines so they're throwing her some kind of Party on this one.  Yeah, I said her FIFTIETH!!!   She and her Old Man go on about 3 or more Annually.  Most of their Income comes from Breeding their Pedigree Dogs... but, a LOT.  My Parents bred Collies for a time, but you have to be responsible about Dog Breeding and not make it seem rather Puppy Mill-ish.   But Pedigree Dogs can go for Thousands now, so, some folks, IMO anyway, are overdoing it and I don't know that's healthy for the Breeding Females to have so many Litters.   So, I do Feel some kind of way about that.  But, I feel the same kind of way about folks who just don't Spay or Neuter their Pets and they're getting unintentionally preggy all the time too and now you got Puppies and Kitten irresponsible overspill due to their Humans too. 





Anyway, since One Pedigree Puppy = One Cruise, you do the Math.  The Husband often works regular Shifts at the Mall and they're both Nice People and have good quality Merch they Sell there.  They know The Good Stuff and I don't comment on what they choose to do with their Dogs, I'm not the Pet Police by any means and I'd probably disagree with how most folks Parent their Pets or their Kids.  *Bwahahahaha*  I'm very Opinionated about both, what can I say?  *Winks*  So, most of the time I figure they and I would just agree to disagree about Parenting in General, be it Pets or Kids... or even Grandparenting.  The way some Grandparents are is quite varied too.  The ones that Amuse me are the Grannies who are so Vain or Insecure about Aging that they won't even let their Grandkids call them Gramma or anything like that.






And pick some other Label the Grands have to call them, so that they can pretend nobody will Think they're Old.  *Eye Roll... we ALL KNOW... you're not Foolin' anyone Honey, just coz the Grands call you Mimi or Jan.  Bwahahahahahaha*   I went to a Baby Shower once with a Friend of mine who was a HOT Gramma and Proud of it, her Daughter was having a Baby and the very bougee Pretentious Paternal Granny was there and one of THOSE.   Some of her other Grands were there and calling her by the required Non-Grandmotherly Name and so intentionally, my Friend and I would be like, "Hey, go tell or give your GRAMMA this or that...", just to wind her Ass up.  It was Wicked Fun coz she kept insisting she was their Mimi and not allowing them to call her Gramma or any such thing coz she didn't FEEL like a Grandmother.  





And I just Smiled and Deadpanned, BUT YOU ARE... and everyone KNOWS they're your GRANDCHILDREN.  My Friend was tickled, coz she's known me a long time and knows how I like to Amuse myself without Apology at the expense of them like that.  And she and the other Gramma didn't get along.  *Bwahahahahaha*  And here's the Sad part really, that Woman was actually a very Attractive Gramma and Time had been very Kind to her without having a lot of Bad Work done to herself.  She was Naturally Aging well and so why be Ashamed, Embarrassed, have Low Self-Esteem, Fear, Insecurity or Denial about her Age, coz it was so un-necessary.  And Confusing for her Grands really. They'd even told me she got MAD if they slipped up and told anyone she was their GRANDMOTHER!!!  Really!?! 





If I'd been her I'd of done what my Mom always did, Mom always ADDED a Decade, saying Women were foolishly Lying about their Age in the Wrong Direction.  Coz when you add a Decade to your Real Age you're ensured a shockingly Sincere Compliment of how Amazing you look... and who doesn't wanna Hear that, Right?  *Winks*   And on to something completely different now that I have a slew of Questions about... the latest Staged Farce of an Assassination Attempt that the credibility of is beyond Questionable.  It wouldn't even be Covered as Serious News if the News Outlets weren't all Bought now by Billionaire Buddies of this Regime and even try to make this farce seem as if it was Real.  It's been said now that the Guy wasn't even in the same Building... now that's a tidbit them eliminated which might have been relevant, No?!  *Eye Roll*




 

Okay, so here we go tho'... How did that Naked Guy running around with a Firearm not draw Attention sooner by the Staff and other Patrons, let alone the Secret Service, in that Hotel even near where a President, Vice President and Whole Cabinet would be Present?  I mean, even at a Motel 6 a fucking Security Guard would have found that Weird enuf to take him Down quick before any incident happens.  Naked Crazy Guy running around with a Rifle... nothing to See here.  Come On.  And did he start out Naked, or was that a progression?  Not your average Assassin behavior who is Serious about actually being Successful or with a solid Plan and not just some obvious Mental Health Issues perhaps... and his background seemed an Odd Serious well orchestrated Terrorist or Assassin's History Profile either.





Turns out he was on a different Floor, of a different Building... and they claim there's some elaborate Manifesto he'd sent, to his Family or something.  And that Donnie Two Dolls lost his shit on "60 Minutes", when they Read some of it out loud, even tho' he wasn't specifically Named, but inserted himself into the Pedo/Rapist Role {quite a 'Tell'} vehemently denying he is one, yeah Right, you're at the very least an adjudicated Rapist and Paid Off a 13 Year Old Girl's Family who did claim you Raped her too.  And, you got far too many Pedo close Friends you know liked 'em Young, yet, never Reported.  Me think thou doeth Protest too much, as Shakespeare would have said.  *Winks*  I don't condone any Political Violence, but this Guy has ginned it up so much himself that he's reaping what is sown in any escalation now.  And they act all Surprised they've caused this kind of Reaction with their dangerous Rhetoric and escalating Hate and Divisive Speech from the Bully Pulpit.   It Normalizes and Condones inappropriate Negative and Dangerous Behavior.  And so here we now are.






Since all the Major News Channels are now Owned by MAGA sympathizer Billionaires, well of coarse they're pretending like this all was Real.  Tho' pretty much without exception Online consensus of American People as a Collective is, well, it's another Meme Worthy Act of complete Over-The-Top Political Theater... they want that New Ballroom so Bad... and they think this will Seal the Deal now to Build it and lift the Stay.  *Shaking Head, you can't make this shit up!!!  It's fucking Surreal and so Outrageous.*  Let's Protect our Schoolchildren and Invest that Money Nationwide in their Safety from School Shootings and University Shootings, rather than his Ballroom, that's my Take on it all.





Since everyone has a Cellphone and can Record now, well, lots of Viral Recordings of what REALLY was Said, happening and going on during this Soap Opera Novella Worthy Performance.  That will not win any Oscars, was that folks continued Eating, some Stole the Wine Bottles off their Tables, which is exactly what one does during an Actual Active Shooter Event, Right?  *Eye Roll*  Some started Singing and Chanting some Patriotic shit that didn't quite catch on either, since, who does that either, during an Active Shooter Event.   Donnie did Fall Down and then have to be Carried coz his One Foot and Leg apparently wasn't Working???  Bone Spurs mebbe, I dunno?  *Bwahahahaha*






  I expected him to show up on "60 Minutes" with some Bandages like the Ear Sham 1st Staged Attempt as if he was a Casualty.  Either way, Staged or not, it is making the Secret Service and the FBI look like incompetents and a total Cluster Fuck.  When they yelled Shots I do wonder if Patel and Hegseth might have Yelled back Tequila or Whisky?  *Winks*  Were they even Sober at the Event... asking for a Friend.  He's got so many Sex Offenders, Career Criminals, Grifters, Mentally Unstable and probably Mentally Ill folks, and Substance Abusers on his Payroll and Cabinet, that any other President doing a fraction of this shit would have been ousted long ago and way more outrage exhibited by EVERY American, in the Past.  The Present, well, a significant percentile of our Citizens seem to be Okay with anything and everything anymore and even Support it and join in voluntarily.






Okay, so The Daughter just came in after talking to Brad, the Hot Pool Guy Owner of the Company and said now he's just Fixing what was Wrong with the Pump and not charging us coz he knows Princess T, our Granddaughter, is paying for a replacement for us.  She's like, "I know what you did Mom... having her go out with you and tell him that, looking all Cute..."  *Bwahahahahaha*  Well, I did it with you when you were Young and Hawt, and Nanna did it with me when I was Young and Hawt, so, it's Generational and still Works, what can I say... it's Saved us Five Hundred Dollars and was perfectly harmless.   She had all her Clothes on just looking as Adorbs as she can be, batting her False Eyelashes at him and all... and, Five Hundred Bucks Saved and a Free Repair is Five Hundred Bucks Saved and a Free Repair, what can I say?  *Winks*






Hey, they go around looking Cute anyway for Free, so might as well get some use out of it for what needs to be done that I can't afford.  Hell, if we had all Four of your Beautiful Daughters here I'd be having everything done for Free around here.   And she and Princess T just Laughed and Laughed, coz, they know how I am.  *Winks and Smiles*  So, anyway, that should Save us around $300-$500 if Brad's Repairs Hold.  If not, well, then we'll replace it and The Granddaughter will still cover the Cost she said.  *Smiles*  She doesn't mind Saving the Money for just going out and looking Sweet and Cute for about Five Minutes and telling him she was covering the Cost for her Gramma.  *Winks*  She said she looked a bit Busted that day, but on her worst day she still looks Cute, so... whatever.  No Old Lady is gonna get Hooked Up like that.  *Ha ha ha* 






I didn't Feel so Good Today, got enuf Sleep, got enuf to Eat, still felt Weak and just Worn Out, so decided not to do anything I'd intended to go out and try to do.  Just Chillin' at Home seems the best Idea with how I'm Feeling so Wrung Out and Weary.  I didn't even get Dressed until 1:00 p.m. either, but I am Dressed now and did some Work Inside the House this Morning, so I haven't been a total Slacker either.  Since the Kiddos made a wonderful Breakfast for us, I Volunteered to Clean Up the Kitchen.  Then I Priced some Inventory in the Living Room with my rolling Pricing Cart, which I can Wheel around to where ever I Need it to be to Work on stuff.  It's nice enuf Outside to do it in the She Shed, only in the Seventies Temperature Wise... but, I enjoyed watching TV while doing it.  It's just Smalls but I'll take them in Wednesday Night coz I'm filling in another Shift for someone.






So many folks with Regular Shifts either Call Out or just don't show up to Work their Shifts now that it's becoming more commonplace to be asked to fill in for them.  I decline sometimes and accept sometimes, depending on my own circumstances and Mood... AND... most importantly, who else is Working that Shift.  I want NO Drama and Headache Co-Workers.  Lately we haven't had any Customers who are, they've been a good and mostly Younger Crowd coming in who are really easy to Serve and know what they want and are looking for.  Mostly the Pokemon or Sports Cards Merch, which they will spend any amount on.  Creepily a lot of the Militaria that the Young are seeking now is Nazi shit, and I don't even like touching that shit, I'd Burn it all, Bad Energy attached to it all.  They were all Devils with fucked up Mindset.

 




And what is Creepier to me than the Merch is the Demographic of Young Man desiring it these days.  They are very polite, normal looking Young White Men, Aged about 20-35 and you wouldn't think they Get Off on the Nazi Genre of Militaria Merch, but they REALLY do.  They don't look like they'd be Neo-Nazis and infatuated with Hitler and the Third Reich.  A scant few of them will feel uncomfortable due to my Energy, I say nothing but my Thoughts are LOUD and I know that Energy gets picked up on too... when someone's Negative Energy and Freakish Ways come up against Positive Energy.   So, some will make unnecessary Excuses as to Why they're SO interested in the Nazi Memorabilia.  Listen, I don't Care really, I just want nothing to do with it or with People who Love what it Represents and wanna surround themselves with it or get Orgasmic about it.  Or go in that direction here in America.  Ewwww.






Usually the Nazi Dealer asks too much for it so they just like to fondle it and then not Buy it, I would prefer we not even carry it, but, it is part of History and a Military Antiquity.  Some would argue it's all important and that is subjective, I just wouldn't have any of it in my Home.  Or have to explain why I would either.  If I walked into someone's Home I know and they had an area paying Homage to all that Nazi shit, I'd be reconsidering my Relationship with them, I ain't gonna Lie.  If you even have a Confederate Flag hanging up on your Property, or any KKK shit, I'd have my Reservations about you and draw some conclusions.  *LOL*  Some History is Offensive, I Get It, and we shouldn't FORGET Bad History or Whitewash it away for sure, so that we don't Repeat that kind of shit and those kinds of atrocities against Humanity again.  But, they tend to wanna only Cancel Culture the Positive stuff, not the Negative stuff now.






Anyway, most of what folks Collect aren't Creepy.  And I like the Weird and the Wonderful, along with Oddities, so I have my Macabre Sensibilities that might Creep some folks out too, I acknowledge that Fact.   I have some Morbid stuff and some stuff that Scares some folks.  *Winks*  To each their own I guess is my stance.   What I don't wanna expose myself to or surround myself with, be it an inanimate Object or a Person, I just don't.  Some folks get themselves all Twisted about what someone else is doing or what they Like, I don't, if it's not my Jam I don't expect that it won't be yours, I don't really Care if it is.  But, I may Judge you accordingly.   And you can pass some judgment on me too by whatever your Standards happen to be, I don't Care nor mind.  Just stay in your own Lane and don't step in my Waters then, and we'll be mutually Respectful about our obvious differences. 






I had bought a little Rock Science National Geographic Mega Gemstone Dig Kit from SAVERS for Four Bucks where you dig the Gemstones {15 of them} out of a Chalk Block like a Geologist.   It was Four Bucks of Fun, I think they need to give these to Nursing Homes rather than having it just be for Kids.   *LOL*  Princess T and I spent over an Hour out on the pack Porch, me digging them out with my little Tool and Brush, her cleaning them off in a Water Bath and identifying them.  They have a Book that comes with it, we got 14 of the 15 so far but it got Dusk and I couldn't see to continue.  We got some very nice Specimens and Two disappointing ones.  The Geode and the Quartz Crystal were shitty and too small of the Specimens, we were robbed I tell you!  *Bwahahahaha*  But more of our Specimens were better than expected.  And usually the Kit Retails for around $27, so I can't complain for my $4 I only Paid for a brand new Donated one.






My Pyrite was really nice sized, my Geode really sucked and was like a tiny chip of the shitty interior of one, my Quartz Crystal was only the size of my little Fingernail and looked nice but puny, my Amethyst looked nothing like the Photo and was a smooth polished Rock Specimen but a nice one, my Sodalite looked more like Lapis and was very nice, my Rose Quartz was very pale but nice and a good size, my Fluorite was a smooth polished Specimen and nice, my Aragonite was nothing like the pix but a much bigger Specimen, my Red Jasper was very nice, so was my Hematite, the Desert Rose we haven't dug out yet, my Agate looked nothing like the pix either but was a nice Agate of a different Color entirely, my Snowflake Obsidian was really nice and just like the pix, my Tiger's Eye was spectacular and very much like the pix and a nice size, my Aventurine looked nothing at all like the pix coz mine was sharp and more like an Arrowhead in shape and quite pale.




All the Kiddos were Laughing coz I was having such a good time doing it and so was Princess T, she watched me the entire time and we'd get excited when we discovered another one in the Chalk dig.  You have to be Patience, which, isn't one of my Virtues, but I think I did better than most Kids would doing this Project.  *LOL*   I couldn't see Younger Children having the Patience to do this and without damaging their Specimens.  You can cheat they said, by soaking the Chalk block to muddy it and make it easier, but we didn't do that, I didn't wanna cheat.  But my Hands were covered in Chalk Dust, probably my Lungs are coated with it too, and my Fingertips feel Raw now.  *LOL*




 

This is what the Kit includes, Excavating is Fun if you dig that kind of digging.  *Winks pun intended*  I had a good time, my Granddaughter did too, and we got some nice Gemstone Specimens cheaply as well as getting more than our Four Bucks worth of Fun out of the Investment.  *Smiles*   We are avid Rockhounds and Collectors of Gemstones, Crystals, Precious Metals, Rocks and Artifacts like Arrowheads and Primitive Stone Tools and Pottery Shards.   Arizona is Rich in those kinds of things and we used to do it all the time as a Family, I miss doing it in fact.  The Man and his Friends used to Prospect and go Gold Panning, they did find Gold and Stake Claims back then.  There's still Gold in them thar Hills of Arizona.  And Arizona is known for some of it's Turquoise, Copper, Silver, Gold, Peridot, Fire Agate, Amethyst, Malachite, Azurite, Lapis, Petrified Wood, Garnets, Arizona Gem Silica {a Rare and Valuable form of Chalcedony}, Agate, Apache Tears, Lava Rock and Jasper.






Having some Family Time with one of the Grands doing something pleasurable and Fun Together was a nice way to wrap up the day.  The TV has been off most of the day coz just coverage of that farce of an Assassination attempt was just too fixated upon and pontificated upon.  Had it been a Serious Shooter Incident like what happens far too often to the General Public, I'd of had Interest, but, this was another faked sham this Administration embellished upon.  I have no doubt the Man they caught isn't Well and could have certainly done some harm.  But, the whole Staged magnification of it by this Regime was too far fetched and just gave them more excuses for Hate filled rhetoric, which amplifies Violence and Division, and fixate more on their Ballroom than the Mental Health Crisis and Gun Violence or Political Violence caused by Elected Officials vilifying one another constantly and making Americans Enemies with one another rather than working together to Solve Social Issues the American People really Care about and Need Solutions for.






I think Donnie Two Dolls wants to Imagine he's gonna be thought of as a Great Leader that Assassins want to eliminate, the likes of the Kennedys, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Abraham Lincoln.   He's SO not... if he gets taken out it will definitely be becoz of the damage he's causing America and the World, and the Threat he poses in a Bad way, not becoz he's doing anything Great for America or Mankind in Positive ways like those Assassinated becoz of the Great Changes they were making or trying to make, for a better World and a better and more Enlightened United State of America.  They had Righteous Causes, he hasn't got a Righteous way of Being, in his whole Body, and hasn't done anything for anyone but himself in his whole Lifetime.  He's a horrible Human and depraved.  I'm ashamed we have Leadership the likes of him and his Sycophants.






The Granddaughters and some of the Great-Grands, and our Oldest Daughter, went and spent some Time with Baby long haired Calves, too Cute.   The Granddaughter had Dyed her Hair about the Color of the one Calf.  *LOL*   Whatever Farm it was at had like a Livingroom Setup in a Barn Room with Sofas, Armchairs and such, with the Straw on the Floor and the Animals there for interacting with and for Photo Ops.  They just didn't take enuf Pixs of it all, but the ones Shared were sure Cute and it looked like a good time was had by all Three Generations in attendance together.   It's nice that those living there in Pittsburgh have a lot of extended Family close by so they can spend such quality time together and have all the Kiddos who are Cousins Growing Up Together.  The Man's Ex, her Family have always lived there and just taken Vacays anywhere else.   So, nobody leaves.
 






I Love Petting Zoos and Farms, took both Generations of Kiddos to them all of the time.   Thought of getting Goats, Peacocks and Pot Bellied Pigs for here, Chickens too, but haven't yet.   The first Three wouldn't serve any real Purpose... but the Chickens would.  And, we're supposed to be getting a Bunny from Gypsy James, tho' he hasn't contacted me about it, so, I dunno.   I told him 2 Weeks ago we'd take one, or if he knows what Gender, Two of the same Gender, for the Grandkids.  I haven't heard back but bought some Bunny Food.   I was looking Online at costs tho' and they aren't an inexpensive Pet to Own really, so I won't be Sad if he found Homes for all of them or wanted to Sell them instead of just giving them away.  I don't know he Breeds them for Resale or not actually, didn't think to ask, he just put it out there that Cinna Bun, his Female, had a large Litter he wanted to find Homes for.  If it's like Kittens, most people just wanna find a good Home and give them away.








As I said, the Memes have been brilliant even if the News Coverage has been as much of a farce as the whole Staged Event.  They seem oblivious that most of us think it is all Faked.  I haven't met a single Person so far that doesn't think it was another Staged Pretend Assassination Attempt used merely as a Political Theater Tool and a total Distraction.   That's how out of Touch with the American People most of the Media and all of the Politicians now are.  Either that or they think we're so gullible now they can Spin any Bullshit and we'll take it as Serious and Truthful.  Mebbe the hard core MAGA will, but the majority of the Country aren't a bunch of Rubes and Marks.   







They keep saying they WANT us to be better than all of this, but there's absolutely not a single one in Politics or the Media that is, so why would they expect the rest of us to rise above the fray they're instigating and causing intentionally by what they do, what they say, what they cover and how they're covering it for the Public to consume?  They've Created this pathetic shitshow America has now become and now we don't Trust or Believe any of them.  Why should we?   So the Best they can now Hope for is Skepticism by most of us, perhaps a scant few Believers, and a great many just thinking it's all Lies, Smoke & Mirrors, trying to Manipulate, further Exploit and Weaponize us all.

If you know for sure what's at Play here, please let me know... winks... Dawn... The Bohemian

Gone Are The Days.. And, Christ... MORE Political Theater... All The World's A Stage



  I didn't mean for this to be a Two-Fer but I messed up and Published it on the wrong day. {I'll fix it in the Morning and pretend I didn't screw up, Smiles}  Some of my International Blog Friends Posts about Countries we used to live in all around Europe are making me miss spending some Time there, perhaps on a much protracted European Vacation.  It won't happen, The Man isn't well enuf to Travel and I'd not Vacay Abroad alone or without him.   But, it's so reminiscent and takes me Back in Time, becoz in Europe, things stay the same a lot, History is preserved and appreciated, even revered.   Even when I Google Earth someplace Abroad I once lived, way back in the early 1970's or before, it pretty much looks the same.  Here in Metro Phoenix, if you don't travel the same Route for a couple Weeks, it's usually all Changed when you pass thru again.  I like some permanence and a sense of Yesteryear to remain, for Old Times Sake at the very least, for Future Generations to get to see, and some revisiting of Nostalgic Places over Time.




VINTAGE VIXEN is one of my Fav British Bloggers and Blogs {See Above and Below}, I swoon over her Flashback Fashions since her Wardrobe and Accessorizing is beyond compare.  It's the Industry she's in as a Resaler "Kinky Melon's Retro Boutique" offers it at Shows/Events and her Online Store.  I wanna BE her when I Grow Up.  *Winks*  Her Historic Home is Retro Bohemian Lovely and Colorful, she and Boyfriend Jon go on some Killer Vacations {Holidays to the British vernacular}, all over the World... and she takes you along.  Her Cuisine makes me wanna try Vegan Fare more than I already do, especially if I could keep as Svelte as Vix has over the Years.  She couples it with commitment to Wii-Fit, so it's not all Diet, but a Lifestyle commitment that I honestly can't say I have developed to the degree that I should if I want my Girlish Figure ever back.  *Bwahahahahaha* 




  Anyway, pop on over to her Blog if you want some real Eye Candy in every single Post.  I want to Raid her Closet every time I Visit, or go over for Lunch!!!  *LOL*  It's Uplifting, and her Posts are always Uplifting, and Lord knows I Need that sometimes these days.  I do miss the Socializing of Europe and sense of Community.  The Daughter says she misses the Socializing and sense of Community of Mexico too, for exactly the same Reasons... America doesn't put as much emphasis on doing it like the rest of the World does.  There is a Joy of Life missing in the fast paced anonymity of most of American Living IMO, especially in Urban Areas where there's many People, and they're not interacting much, if at all, with one another.  You could be Lonely in a Crowd in most American Cities and so many folks have said they feel almost Invisible.  And even Small Town or Rural America is very 'exclusive' rather than 'inclusive' of any Newcomers and not always Welcoming nor Inviting.




I've told The Man before, if we were to become Ex-Pats and move practically anywhere else in the World, Guarantee, we'd know more People on an intimate level in mere Weeks, than Years of living anywhere here in America.   We've both Traveled extensively so he too has a Point of Reference, and we Love America and it's our 'Home', so we were always glad to return, but, we both Agree, that Overseas, we actually did more, Socialized much easier and effortlessly, and there was a Joy of Life quite absent from most American Life.   I surmise it's why a lot of America is overweight, feel disconnected and depressed... and I could be Right?  Plus, Europeans always go on "Holiday".  My European Cousins and Friends go on at least One Vacay or more Annually and always have.  And it's not coz they have more disposable Income than Americans either.  Most Americans earn more actually.  My European Cousins and Friends have no Bucket List to cross off, they've Done it all already.




I've done a lot and seen a lot of the World and the United States too, so I can't complain, I've been well Traveled.  I just would like to Travel more again and cross some destinations off the Old' Bucket List.  Which is looking more and more unlikely.  As unlikely now as Buying another Historic Property... which was always the Retirement Plan, to not only Retire in a Historic Property and Restore it, but to have it Paid Off too.  Ah, well, did once... didn't complete the Restoration, but did have Paid Off Properties that should have been our Retirement Homes... yes, Plural... but, Life happens, Shit happens... whaddya gonna do but Roll with it and adapt, improvise and keep it Moving.   I was revisiting some Old Photo Archives from when my Camera put the Dates on Pixs.  I didn't like that, but it is handy to recall when it was taken exactly, to the Day.   And look back at what Life and Home looked like back then.




Above is Peaches, one of our Feral Fur Babies who we Domesticated and Socialized just enuf that sometimes she'd come inside and visit me in The Art Studio Cottage at our Historic Home and hang out while I made my Fabric Art and Hippie Carpetbags.  She always had Mookie Eyes and wouldn't allow you to tidy her up tho', she lived to be quite Old and sadly only succumbed to a Dog Attack when a pack of aggressive Stray Dogs jumped our High Wall at the Historic Property and savagely Murdered Three of our Working Cats, just for Fun/Sport to Kill for no reason.  The Dog Catcher eventually caught them all before they ended up Mauling or Killing a Child, coz once Canines have Killed and gotten a Taste for Blood Sport, it's difficult to have them around any other Animals or Humans safely.   I'm Guessing those Dogs had to be Put Down at the Pound coz complaints had come in about their Murderous rampages around the whole Neighborhood, our Animals weren't the only Victims of the needless Massacre.  So some Memories are traumatic.




Princess T used to like to bury herself in my piles of Vintage and Antique Pillows and Fabrics there in the Art Studio Cottage at the Historic Property.  In fact, The G-Kid Force and those Feral & Stray Cats that Adopted us and we Spayed and Neutered, then let live out their Lives on that Historic Homestead to be our Working Cats, used to coast into the Art Studio Cottage from time to time when I was Creating and left a Door Open for an Invitation.  You couldn't close a Door behind a Feral or Stray or they'd Lose their everlovin' Minds and go Postal, tearing up the place, but they'd come inside and hang out with ya so long as you left that Escape Route open and visible to them.  At one time I think we had up to 7-9 of them, all 'Fixed' so they then wouldn't keep Breeding.  Some stayed for Years or Forever, some, just for a Time and then got the Wanderlust again and we never saw again. 




This one Princess T has on her Lap was called Gypsy.  She, like the Nomad she was meant to be and thus got her Name, didn't stay a very long time before she Moved On and hit the Road.  But she was a very well Socialized Cat and gentle with Children, so I think she may have once belonged to someone?   In Da Old Barrio you often had Stray Cats and Stray Kids at your House more than they were at their Houses, joining the Family as if they Lived with you!  *LOL*  I remember The Caseworkers for The G-Kid Force's Custodial Placement with us, often thought most of the Kids at our Home were Relatives!   Coz they were there so often, Eating with us or Playing whenever they'd do their required Visits, often spending the Night at Sleepovers with The Force.  I always had a gaggle of Cats and Kids at Original Bohemian Valhalla.  I've actually never NOT had a house full of People!!!  *Smiles*




And, I did often have to relinquish my Art Studio Cottage to either an Adult Child or some of their Adult Friends to Live in whenever they couldn't find affordable Rent, even way back then.  And like now and here, they split expenses and did a lot of Work on the Property which came in Handy whenever The Man was deployed to War Zones back then... and especially once he became 100% Disabled and I needed some Muscle and Younger Adult Generation Minions on the Property to Help me Maintain it all and Help with the Grandkid's Care.  Now it's worse of coarse, nobody can afford the Rents of Arizona now... too many transplants from Cali and Back East have driven our Cost of Living up as high as the States they made an Exodus from now.  So, they've ruined it for the Locals and those who don't and won't Migrate becoz of lack of Options or Affluence to.




This was Peaches with a much Younger Female named Missy Foo-Foo, no relation to each other, just both Calicos, Strays that came as Kittens, Born Wild, and never left.  We were such Suckers I swear People dropped off unwanted Pets on our Property on Purpose?!  Both ended up Murdered by those Pack of Dogs.   But we had them a lot of Years and if they'd been Younger, perhaps they could have been fast enuf to seek Shelter and Survive an attack, but, mebbe not.  We had very high Rock and Adobe Walls around that whole Property, so never expected Dogs to jump that high over them and start Killing anything out there that was Alive!  It was quite traumatic and terrifying coz it was The Grandkids, who were quite Young at the time, who went out to Play and found the Carnage, which Traumatized the Hell out of them!   It traumatized me and broke my Heart!!!




Thankfully the Dogs didn't go for the Kids, or I'd of had my own Massacre, of neutralizing the Dogs myself, the Threat those vicious Dogs had become was too dangerous not to take Seriously if the City didn't or wouldn't.  The Man did go get his Gun, and the Dogs jumped the Walls and took off.  Took the Dog Catcher Days to locate them based on the Trails of Carnage and descriptions given by those Victimized.  Above was Bear, and Yes, his Ears were deformed like that and he had a Docked Tail, and may have been Born Tail-less I highly suspect.  Nobody messed with Bear tho', he could take on a Dog, but was gentle as a Lamb with Humans and other Cats, and especially Children.  So a Family we knew with Four Kids eventually Adopted him, and therefore we didn't have to have him Adopt us for very long.  *Smiles*  I've since run into a couple of those Kids now they're Middle Aged Adults, all these Years later. Turns out their Gramma became a Vendor at our Antique Mall, Years after they Moved out of the Old Barrio, it's a Small World!!!




This was Halloween Night back in 2009 and I think I took around a Dozen of the Neighborhood Kids Trick-Or-Treating with us that Year while The Man handed out Candy at Home.  To the very few who'd be Brave enuf to come to our "Legit Haunted Historic House" after Dark. It was indeed Haunted for Reals, and had a Rep as such, so most Locals, when the Sun went down, wouldn't even walk on the same side of the Street as that Property, it was hilarious.  Most of the Neighborhood Kids couldn't afford Costumes so were very Creative in whatever they could Dream Up, plus, many were from Immigrant Families not Familiar with Celebrating Halloween at all.  So, you'd often just get Kids showing up with a Pillowcase and no Costume, Bless their Hearts, coz the Kids learn fast, Free Candy on this Date, we're Down for that American Holiday!!!  And they'd come while it was still Light, coz they weren't Afraid of our Home before Dark... thus, why it's Light in the Pix still, on Halloween Night, Photographing The Children before they scattered at Dusk.  *LOL*




  

Me and my Dear Mom.   Mom and Dad LOVED Kids too, and Kids Loved them back, so they always had a passel of 'em at their Homes too from their respective Neighborhoods.   Mom lived in Section 8 Housing in her Old Age so she often was Feeding half the stray Kids in her Neighborhood too, and Tutoring them so they'd do better in School.  Most of the Parents were either Illiterate or didn't Speak or Understand English, regardless of which Countries they hailed from and Immigrated to the U.S. from.  And my Mom remembered being an Immigrant who didn't have a good grasp yet on her English and found it almost impossible to help us with our American Homework in School.  And our Dad only had a Grade School Education from the Native American Indian Boarding Schools, so we often were in the same predicament as those Kids were.




  It's a wonder really I was such a good Student and got excellent Grades regardless.  But my Younger Brother really struggled Academically, yet became an accomplished Pro Hollywood Photographer, so it turned out Well for him anyway.   And I became a Corporate Executive Banker and an AVP by the time I was 23 in my 1st Corporate Life, Retired and then did well at the DA's Office in my 2nd Corporate Life, so I did Okay for myself being Self-Taught too.  Often your Gifts will make Room for you, despite obstacles and challenges.  My Dad became a Master Chef and my Mom was one of the most Intelligent and Educated Women I know, she was fluent in many Languages and could do Math quicker than any Calculator.  But, English was not her 1st Language and most Americans never could understand her thick Welsh Accent when she spoke English, so I'd have to Translate for her all my Life.  *LOL*   Above, The Young Prince with his Dad.




The Son with his Nanna, my Mom.   He was so Bipolar, Autistic and ADHD as a Child that Nanna had to watch him for me while I Worked if The Man couldn't get an Opposite Shift to me.  Coz The Son had been kicked out of every Daycare in the whole West Valley by the time he was Three Years Old!!!   Funny now, not so funny then, Mom really Took one for The Team to keep Pace with him and I Paid her Handsomely to do it, but then she'd turn around and spend all the Money back on the Kiddos, coz she Spoiled her Grandkids rotten, as us Grandparents like to do.  *Winks*  




She had a Leash for him that had a Harness on it, and people would sometimes feel some kind of way in Public about it, but they had no Idea how High Maintenance my Child was and that she Needed that Leash and Harness or we'd be putting an Amber Alert out on his Ass all the time!!!  *LOL*   School Field Trips lost him so many times that I had to always be a Volunteer and go with him and the other High Maintenance Special Needs or Behaviorally Challenged Kiddos, so they could even go on Field Trips.  *LOL*   Here's Mom on a Field Trip once, Butterflies just LOVED her and would land on her all of the time.  Which is why when I see one now I always think of her.  They'd stay on her for the longest time.




You KNOW who this Sassy Lil Fashionista Diva is... Princess T as a Toddler.  Hard to Believe she'll be turning 21 this Year already!!!  So every Year at Halloween we'd try to get her to choose a different kind of Costume, but Nope, she ALWAYS wanted to be an Exotic Dancer... and The Man be like, "Oh Lord, are we gonna hafta have a hard time keeping that Child off a Stripper Pole?!"   *Bwahahahahaha*   As it turns out, she still likes Dancing but is one of the most Modest Young Women when it comes to her Virtue and having Old Fashioned Values, she was the kinda Kiddo to make up Rules for herself coz she said we didn't have Enough of them!  *LOL*  And, to be Fair, she made a damn Cute lil Exotic Dancer and had a lot of Harmless Fun with it.  Keeping these Costumes long after Halloween and wearing them in the House while she'd Dance to Middle Eastern Music.  She had all the Moves 'Down', and this was before Tik Tok or the Internet Tutorials.  *Smiles*




But, it was also during the time of JonBenet Ramsey, so I was very Protective of her coz you never knew what Sickos are out in The Wilds of General Public eyeballing innocent Children wrongly, even if they're having Fun 'playing' dress up, so, it's not 'New' to have to be very Guarded to Protect your Children and Grandchildren from Pedos and other Pervs.   She had such Fun with this Blue ensemble and the Pink one, that we literally kept them for YEARS until she almost couldn't fit in them anymore properly!   She's so Skinny tho', that they fit her way longer than they should have, even when she got much Taller but no bigger around.  *Ha ha ha*   And I'd bought them for her when she picked them out secondhand for a few Bucks at some Chazza, so we got a lot of Bang for our Buck and Mileage out of those Two Beloved Costume Outfits she Adored wearing and felt so Pretty in.  




And I'm always fond of all the Halloween Pixs of the Kiddos, coz they had such Fun with Costumes, and still do actually.  It's harmless Fun and some folks get way too worked up and wound up about it IMO.   Of coarse, by the time she was a Tween, it was so damned hard to find any Costume she wanted to wear that didn't look Too Sexy!!!  *LOL*  We'd have her covered up more than an Amish Schoolgirl and she still managed to look too Gorgeous and so The Man and her Brother... sometimes even her Uncle... insisted on accompanying her during those Years, to go Trick-Or-Treating.   *LOL*




Okay, so the Boy she liked that Year as a Young Tween, wanted to be a Devil and she wanted to go Trick-Or-Treating with him as a She-Devil and we found a Costume that was down to her Wrists and Ankles and she still looked too Sexy in the damned thing!!!   And she just had on some Cherry Lip Gloss and some Mascara and Nude Eyeshadow... but... still... her Grandpa, Uncle and Brother are like, we're ALL going as Chaperones THIS Year.  *Bwahahahahaha*   And the Boy she liked was a whole Head and Shoulders shorter than her, coz she'd sprung up rather Tall that Year, so he looked much Younger and was a very Nice Kid.  So their little Crush was more Platonic and infantile than anything, but  you can never be too Careful, according to our Menfolk, so... she had a Gang of Chaperones that Halloween in tow.  *Bwahahahahaha*



 

But, she was a Well-Behaved She-Devil so they needn't have Worried.  Tho' The Young Prince was adamant that his Sister was definitely in her Pre-Demonic Phase back then of Hormonal shifts of Blossoming into a Young Woman from a Child.   Her Friend Crazy Pamela had even thrown a Bible at her during a Sleepover at Pamela's, and The Grandson just deadpanned, "Well, it was the Right Book..."   *Bwahahahaha*  She definitely wasn't one to be Trifled with during Puberty, that's for sure, I Pitied the Fool who might.  *Smiles*   Looks can be deceiving, she looked like Butter wouldn't melt in her Mouth but could become quite Unhinged and vicious on the Turn of a Dime during Puberty!  It was like living with Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde as she moved thru Puberty!!!  And all the Parents or Grandparents of Tween and Teen Girls said, "Amen!".  *Winks*  

   



But, she's been the easiest of all the Kiddos of both Generations that we've Raised and been The Golden Child, so, no Complaints, every Family should have at least One, it's only Fair!  *Smiles*   And our Family LIVES for Halloween, it's our Favorite Holiday and we Channel our inner Addams Family all Year long so that's not Surprising to anyone.  And Autumn is our Favorite Season of all time too.   We always enjoy our Halloween Decorating and the handing out of Candy, even tho' now all our Grandkids are Grown, so tho' they get in Costume still, it's more for House Parties or just to hand out Candy here to the Trick-Or-Treaters.  This Community isn't as All In as the Villa McManse Property was about Halloween.  For how many Fundies lived in that Community, I was actually Surprised how many still Celebrated Halloween and didn't forbid their Kids to partake for "Religious Reasons".  Go figure.




Now I know some Fundies who go absolutely Mental about Halloween as if the rest of us are conjuring the Devil himself during it.  *LOL*  I even have a scant few Fundie Friends who are rather Over-The-Top about it even tho' they're Friends with ME... and so... that's in a Word... rather "Interesting", isn't it.  *Ha ha ha ha ha*   They know how I am, yet THAT doesn't bother them but Kids dressing up in Silly Costumes does, I don't Get It, but, I'm not a Fundamentalist and I don't belong to any Extreme Religions who interpret things quite differently than most folks who have Faith, but not as Legalistic and Literal in very unusual ways of interpreting Scriptures or whatever they were brought up Believing.  To each their own, so long as they Respectfully also leave the rest of us in Peace to Practice our Beliefs without trying to force theirs involuntarily upon any of us.  But, they tend to wanna, that's the problem really.  Extreme Religion Brands tend to want a Theocracy imposed.





Anyway, I've had such Fun delving into some early 2000's Archives of my Photos and dredging them up for Blog Fodder.  Some for the 1st time, others are Favs I've Shared before.  Prior to 2009 tho' I didn't Archive Pixs Online or even own a Digital Camera so Imagery prior to then is in Vintage Suitcases of Hard Copies of Photos back when you had to Develop them and Hope for the best Outcome.  *LOL*  Or, in the case of my Brother, the Professional Photographer, he always had a Darkroom in his Home coz it's what he did for a Living and often Worked from Home... even tho' he did once Work in a Photo Developing Shop at the Mall when he was still a Teenager, coz they'd let him Develop his own Pixs for Free as an Employee Perk.  He was well known for his Photography by then anyway and was doing some Work for The Playboy Club back when they had one in Phoenix and Photographing the Bunnies at Car Shows for their Promo.  He once Dated a Playmate of the Year.

 



Like Mother, like Daughter, Above is Princess T playing Dress Up at a later Halloween, but still before she was School Aged.   And Below is The Daughter at about Age 12 when Glamour Shots were a Thing and her Orthopedic Surgeon Paid for her to get some done after she needed to have Braces for a Condition that required about Five Grand worth of correction of her Jaw.   Which, even tho' it was a Medical Condition, I couldn't get our Insurance to Pay for, but at the time I was in my Corporate Lives, so just Paid it since the Corrective Surgery insured she wouldn't have her Jawbones growing incorrectly. It was a LOT of Years of painful Dental and Equipment, but by Age 13 she finally was Done with it all and had gorgeous Teeth... until Bad Decisions made on her part ruined all that expense and hard Work put in to give her a Toothpaste Commercial Worthy Smile... dammit.  She laments that, hindsight being 20-20.

 




Like her Daughter, she was a Fashionista and Diva from a very early Age.  She'd often wear her Nanna's Lace Curtains like they were Evening Wear and ponce around Mom's house belting out her Favorite Songs by Tina Turner {What's Love Got to Do With It} being her all time Favorite.  She'd get a Bathroom Plunger and pretend it was a Microphone!  And Sing her little Heart out even tho' she could NOT Sing, Bless her Heart, but she thought she could, totally Tone Deaf.  *LOL*   Below is a State Fair Photo of her and her Lifelong Friend Amber, who still comes over all the time, this was when they were Tweens tho', by the time they were Teens they'd both had Kids, Too Young to have Kids.   And we became Custodial Grandparents then, Too Old to have Kids.  *LOL and Le Sigh*

 



The Son was less likely to step in front of the Lens as a Tween, Teen, or even as an Adult, so I had a lot less Pixs of him Maturing than the Girls.  Most of the time I confiscated any School ID's or Old Driver's Licenses he had, so I'd even have a Pix of him that Year.  *LOL*   He and The Young Prince are slightly more Obliging now, but sometimes I still just need to confiscate ID's of theirs to have a recent Pix.  *Smiles*   I do miss the Days when they were both Young and would let me take more candid Pixs of them.   Below are some of their Old State ID Pixs... in The Young Prince's he was quite Psychotic and had the Shark Eyes going on, but it was still a very nice Candid Photo of him so I still like it.  Most folks don't recognize Psychosis in the Eyes anyway, I just do, and know those are the tenuous times and best not to provoke it to escalate a Psychotic Episode.



Anyway, Gone are the Days, yet the Memories remain and so many of them are Fond and worth capturing thru the Eyes of our Lens, or the Lens of others.   Since I'm the Keeper of the Past I have a wealth of the Images that have been handed down.   And I get a News Feed on my Phone about another Staged Assassination Attempt, every time his Ratings are Bad or the Epstein Files are Front Page News now are we gonna have more of these less than Oscar Worthy Performances as a Distraction, coz the other Distraction from the previous Distraction didn't Work?  Isn't it enuf we have started a fucking Distraction War with Iran?  Pleeeeease, do they really think the American Public are that gullible?!  And the News are treating it as if it passes the Smell Test, which, it doesn't.  Video up close Coverage of it had holes in it you could drive a fucking Truck thru.  Donnie Two Dolls smirking was a dead giveaway when The Secret Service shows up with the "Note"...




Then they whisk the VP out first... at least no conveniently Staged Photo Ops, resplendent with Fist Pumps and a Grown Back Ear weren't as Over The Top as the 1st Staged Assassination, followed by the 2nd Staged one that really was even more of a stretch to be considered even remotely Believable at all.   This time an Agent got shot but his Vest 'Saved' him... but, I dunno... so many Questions... so few Believable Answers to any of them as to all the inconsistencies I see, and I'm not even a Trained Investigator... and I can see just too many.  If our National Security and the Secret Service are this actually incompetent and ineffective, well, when a Real and Serious Threat is posed, we're more than vulnerable.  But, I'll Believe it isn't Staged when it's actually Successful.





  I know, that's Wrong to even hafta say out loud, but with this Lying POS Prez and Entourage, he is so prone to Theater and Cons, Playing everyone he can Dupe, that I don't Believe a damned thing coming out of this White House/Administration.  They have no Credibility and think everyone is Stupid enuf that we'll all Believe anything.  And this has Distracted the News Cycle, as it's clearly intended to... AGAIN... how Handy.   Nobody is talking about the War, the Epstein Scandal, and all the other Fuckery now... so, in that way they realize it serves the Purpose they Orchestrate it all to.   Even tho' a great many of us remain Skeptics and aren't Buying into any of it and the Performances, which aren't even that good.  All the World's a Stage... perhaps he wants an Oscar now rather than a Nobel Peace Prize?  I'm just so Checked Out on it all... Swipe Left already and get rid of this whole ongoing Clown Show filled with Thirsty Media Whores.
