Well…I didn’t know that the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were going to hurt so much…I am severely depressed about this…that thugs can murder anyone they choose and not be held accountable…okay, moving on…when I brought mail in yesterday, I had so much of it and my back hurt so much I had to sit down to read it…and the couch was filled with my laptop and other electronics…so I sat down on my coffee table and it just collapsed…I had repaired it multiple times so I wasn’t surprised…so now I’m using the maple top that used to be my stereo table sitting on a tub that I used to move with…that will work until I can get out to a 2nd hand store to buy a used one…might have to wait til it’s warm enough to put the top down…then this morning my computer froze up again and I spent an hour on the phone with Dell and we finally got it fixed…so today has been a bit of a trial and with the surgery tomorrow, that day should be, too…so no cocktails tonight…
Trump’s tantrum…
Well…after getting spanked by Mark Carney at Davos, the idiot trump has bee throwing a tantrum for two days now…threatening Canada with 100% tariffs if they do a deal with China… and guess what the tariffs will effect? Oil, gas, and lumber…if you think new homes are unaffordable now, doubling the price of lumber isn’t going to help much…and we get lots of oil and natural gas from Canada…guess what that will do to your heating bill…close to doubling it and that means that millions of people in the US are going to have to choose between heating or eating soon…and idiot boy doesn’t care…he just wants to hurt Carney since he pointed out how big a fool trump is…and the rest of the world’s leaders agreed with him…poor little tantrum boy…geez…
January 26th
Well…up damn early again today and I broke my coffee table sitting on it yesterday and that sucks…will need to find a thrift shop and buy another one this week…it has been coming a long time and I’ve been holding it together with wood glue but I think it’s past that…darn…just so darn worn out today and I’m not sure how much I’m going to do…it’s still only 10 degrees out there and I am tired of the cold…just another month and we should see some relief in March…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I’ve already tried to glue the table back together…not sure how it’s going to work but I had to give it a try…haven’t looked outside yet to see if it snowed overnight but I’m sure it has…but I had one day off of shoveling so I’ll have to take it…man, it’s going to be tough to get going today so I’m going to ease into it and just see how much I can do…more later…
A good day so far…
Well…it’s been a good day so far with getting two rides in along with the weight work before 9 am…and it didn’t snow! So I didn’t need to shovel today and that will be the rest day I’ve really needed…Man U played the best match in the past couple of years and beat the 1st place Arsenal 3-2…and that goes with beating City in the Manchester Derby last week…so now they are in 4th place and eligible for the Champions League later this year if they stay there…and I cooked chicken for lunch but I still couldn’t taste it…okay, just finished the next to last book and want to start the last one…
Another murder in Minneapolis…
Well…I really can’t believe I have to write another one of these but it happened so I do…yesterday there was another ICE thug murder of an American citizen…Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse who was there trying to help people that the ICE thugs were beating and they executed him by shooting him in the back 9 times…the thugs used the fact that he was legally carrying a pistol as their excuse but an ICE thug was seen running down the sidewalk with Alex’s gun before he was shot…and then ICE started hiding the evidence of what they’d done and abandoned the crime scene so the rest of the evidence was destroyed…it has gotten so bad that Minnesota has gone to federal court to get a restraining order against the federal government to keep them from destroying and more evidence…oh, and the coroner who inspected Alex’s body said he was shot in the back…this was clearly an execution because Alex was trying to help people and the ICE thugs can’t take it…this is another murder and these thugs need to be charged with it…at least the senate dems are going to do something about it by blocking funding for DHS and ICE until their invasion our cities stops…geez…
January 25th
Well…up and out of bed before 5 today and again, it’s getting damn old and I may have to do something about it tonight…had a nice visit with my son and his wife, and Art the dog yesterday and it was nice to see them…going to take care of Art for two days next week and will be staying in GR Monday night at their house since they are both going to be traveling…my daughter was in the hospital yesterday for more kidney stones and that sucks…had a gallstone attack when I was younger and it was the worst pain I can remember…watching the 24 hours of Daytona and they are under a yellow flag for hours now for heavy fog…it’s still damn cold here at 2 degrees and it needs to warm up soon but that’s not coming until later in the week…at least we didn’t get much snow but enough to shovel so I’ll be out later for that…took some chicken out of the freezer to cook today so I’ll be having a normal meal later with a baked potato and some veggies…didn’t eat enough yesterday with just a bowl of chili and a couple of eggs so I’ll have to do better today…not much to do today…need to get everything done before Man U plays at 11:30 but that should be easy….more later…
Loser trump really lost this week…
Well…it hard to imagine a worse week for the idiot trump than this last one and that makes me smile…his polling numbers are the worst of any president in history and he has lost the independents that put him into office…and even conservative pundits are now saying that dems are going to take the house and senate this fall and that will stop him for the last two years of his term…no laws will be passed, no judicial appointments, and any SC opening will be stalled until the dem president takes over in ’29…and he is quickly losing the public on immigration with 70% of the public saying that his brownshirts, ICE, should be disbanded after they did two more murders this week and used a 5 year old as bait to get to his father…now is a 5 year old a criminal? These brutal liars better get their house in order and stop this thuggery because they will be hauled in front of congress when we take it back this fall…geez…
My son is coming out today…
Well…got a nice call this morning from one of my sons and he is coming out to go to lunch and he is bringing Art the dog…I think it’s been a year since I’ve seen him and it will be nice hang out for a while…but that means I’ve been cleaning since 9 or so this morning and the place needed it so I’ll be happy later today since can sit here and read on a clean couch…I did get out to shovel the snow when it was -4 this morning but there’s a heat wave going on and we’re already up to 3…okay…want to read a bit before my son comes…
January 24th
Well…up and moving at 5:14 this morning and that is getting old…like two weeks ago it was old but now it just sucks…didn’t sleep well at all with getting up a little after 3am and the struggling to get back to sleep…it’s -4 right now but I think we’ll be climbing out of that hole today…at least I hope we will since we’ve not been over 2 degrees for two days now and every time the furnace starts I see the dollars going up the chimney…okay…the weather widget says -5 so that’s even worse…not going out to shovel the snow until it at least gets to 0….and it’s nearly a record low for the day…it’s surely the coldest temp since I moved out here…have to figure out meals for the next few days since I don’t have any easy food to eat after finishing off the ham soup yesterday…will probably have eggs and sausage for one of them and I am thawing some chicken thighs to bake but I think they are still a lump of ice…not much to do today…need to clean the stove top and the bathroom but I need to get on the weights and bike first…more coffee…
Gotta love the Minnesotans….
Well…did you see what is going on in Minnesota today? Hundreds of thousands of people marched to get ICE out of their state and held a general strike to put a point on it…schools and businesses were closed and the general goal was to not spend a dime today on anything to put pressure on businesses to stop supporting ICE…a general strike is a work stoppage across multiple industries…and the people stayed home from work, school, and to not spend any money and it appears like they are doing it…and this came after it was reported yesterday that there is an ICE memo telling it’s thugs they can ignore the 4th amendment and lock up anyone they want without warrants…so, this is not going to be a one off…these actions are going to happen all over the country until the ICE thugs are gone…and Jonathan Ross, the ICE murderer is arrested and charged with murder for the killing of Renee Good…geez..
