This
is Saturday August 15, 2015 and I did not do a blog entry Friday. I have “Hardball” on right now
discussing Donald Trump. Trump was
against the Iraq War- - but he’s still attacking Rand Paul. There’s a regular back and forth feud going
with them. Last night I watched a couple
videos of how the media controls news coverage of our foreign policy. Apparently as far back as the Church committee
in 1975 the CIA admitted to influencing the American media as to how they
covered stories. The Sixty Minutes
interview with Mike Wallace and Akmadenijab was critiqued, as I’ve heard this
interview critiqued before. It got Mike
Wallace an emmy for telling a lie about the answer to “Israel has a faked
government” and then edited the statement at that point and the next thing we
hear is Mike Wallace saying “Yeah, just as all the reports of the holocaust was
faked”. It was red meat to the Jewish
base. I’ve always liked Mike Wallace but
could it be that “Mike can’t help it. He’s
Jewish and those people are all alike.
They’re all liars”. The rest of
the response of Akmadenijab covered letting members of the West Bank and Gaza
vote in a regular election to determine their face, and he added “We will abide
by whatever the result is”. That’s a
very reasonable response but we didn’t hear it.
Of course there is a standard lie about the Iraq War that goes something
about how President Obama “Made good on a campaign promise and pulled all of
the troops out of Iraq leaving Iraq to the mercies of ISIS”. (This is strange because I thought “Living
up to your campaign promises” was a Republican virtue) Apparently not. The truth is that Obama had
nothing to do with the withdrawal of our troops which was already “baked into
the cake” because of a deal President Bush had signed in 2008. President Obama wanted to stay in Iraq longer
but he wouldn’t do it without Iraq granting legal immunity to our troops in
case they commit atrocities”. ISIS to
a large extend is made up of people from Saddam Hussein’s old army officers- -
which is was because we disbanded (abolished) the Iraqi Army and destroyed the
infrastructure of that nation in 2003.
So you had chaos and ISIS moved into the power vacuum.
Gun
run-down dot com is an “agrigator” of all of the senseless shootings in this
country including cop shootings as well as shooting where one kid kills
another. Norman announced that ISIS had
pledged allegence to the Talliban.
Really? An eleven year old
Paraguay girl was raped by her 42 year old step-father and both mother and
daughter are OK, physically. Paraguay
forbids any form of abortion. A church in Alabama has a gun range behind the
church. They used to collect snakes
there.
Now
Trump is being criticized by women for saying “I’ll take care of the women” and
these feminists say “We don’t want to be taken care of; we want to be respected”. The trouble is Trump HAS said he would
planned Planned Parenthood, and also that this country would be so rich under a
Trump presidency, that funding Social Security and apparently a robust federal
health care system- - is an issue where money is spent- - a lot on women. Also Hillary is “taking care of the women”
with sick leave and maternity leave as well as free college”, which is becoming
increasingly dominated by women. And now
Trump is getting more specific on issues and people are saying that this is a “new,
more serious phase of the Trump campaign” justifying his high poll numbers. Trump says he has a plan to deal with ISIS
but it’s a secret because he doesn’t want ISIS to know what it is”. He also said something about dealing with
Iran and “Iran won’t know what hit them-
- because I’m a businessman and know how to enforce contracts”.
Ben
Carson has now risen to fourteen percent in the polls behind Trump. Dr Ben Carson used to work with fetal tissue
in the old days calling it vital to research.
Ben Carson is reminding us that Planned Parenthood is the direct product
of Margeret Sanger, who was a eugenicist- - - which doesn’t mean “eutopian
researcher”. A eugenicist is someone who’s
into racial genocide, and Margeret Sanger never cared particularly for Black
people, and there are a lot of abortion centers in Black neighborhoods. He says “Planned Parenthood wants to control
the Black population”.
I
just watched Lincoln Chaffee at the Iowa State Fair in front of the Des Moines
Register sign that all the candidates have spoken in front of. It’s a pretty small stage. Chafey touched all the bases saying that he’s
run local, he’s run national in the Senate, and he’s served one term as
Governor of Rhode Island. He’s worked
with the six New England states and the five eastern provinces of Canada on
bringing hydro-electric power to the area, which is a form of clean
energy. He voted against the Iraq War
and he also voted against the Bush tax cuts.
Both of those votes took a lot of character. Chaffee prides himself on never had a hint of
scandal in his public service. This posting has been modified slightly since this morning. The weather continues hot.
This
is Friday August 14, 2015 a little before three. By standards around here it was a half eventful day. I
went down the north hall and Lishia was still here at ten talking to
Brenda. I asked her when she had to
leave and she said “immediately”. I went
to the courtyard but seemed limited to one glass of iced tea from Dora. Hartmann had a guest who spoke of various
types of pot. First there is Canibus
Sativa and Canibus Indiga. The guest
disagreed that one brand had more canabinol than the other but said that the
presence of “turpines” determined how much of a mental buzz you got from the
drug. Because these “turpines” block the
“party high” you’d otherwise get. He
also spoke of another substance called mercine, which is in hops, which
produces sleep, so in the old days they filled pillows full of hops to aid in
troubled sleep. I noticed Lishia was
still on her bed in the open door at eleven.
Lishia also showed up at lunch.
Now Sarah is announcing the kerioke sing along. We had a good soup with spinach among other
vegetables in it. The main course was a
“casserole” of cheese and ham. We had a
good salad with Romaine lettuce with that and a banana for dessert. My cigarette luck soon changed when Lishia
showed up out back and gave me a while white cigarette and Joe said “A whole on
one”. But Lishia thought she had to leave so hugged everybody good bye. She hugged me around the corner of a
bench. But then soon afterward she
knocked on the door and wanted to get the phone number to Bellflower Christian
retirement. This puzzled me and I
advised her that there were any number of places where the computer could stall
out when it was warming up, and maybe she should sit down. We got the site and I read the number in big
print to her. Then we hugged again and
this time I kissed her. The room was
still darkened from when Bill shut the shades.
Then I played a speech by Marco Rubio he gave on foreign policy and some
woman with water glasses asked him questions.
Then it was Jeb Bush’s turn to speak at the Iowa State Fair and like O
Mally it was a brief speech- - but then someone turned down the volume. I had KNBC on from about a quarter of
one. Somewhere along the way I got a
cigarette from Paul, and then when I was out at one thirty I got another
cigarette from Paul. The soap opera is
proceding. Chad had a dream Abigail felt
trapped by the marriage and told Chad she wanted to marry him. Who knows?
Page paid Jennifer a visit warning her that J J was getting involved
with dealing drugs again. I saw Lishia
one more time when she was with people ready to take her to her new place. I sat on the east side a while. I got two cups of iced tea from Dora.
