There
are three guys under investigation of Trump’s associates. There is Jered Kushner. Then there are Coehn and Epstein who are two
Jewish attorneys or whatever. It’s a
question mark whether Trump is actually going to have severe action or
impeachment take place. There is buzz in
the media about Jered Kushner stepping down from his many
responsabilities. But several times
Trump has said he has compete confidence in Kushner and “Everybody respects him”. I guess there is an outside chance that if
the democrats take over Congress next year that they themselves could initiate
impeachment proceedings, though they didn’t do this against President Bush when
everybody was expecting it. Those 35
Articles of Impeachment were making the rounds on the internet in 2007. I haven’t seen even a draft of what articles
of impeachment would be brought against Trump.
There is still talk about maybe we’ll get into a war with North
Korea. That’s what Bill believes. I don’t think Trump’s quite as insane as his rhetoric
because when push comes to shove Trump backs down. He says he’s avidly pro Israel but still
backs the two state solution which Obama, Bush and all the other Presidents
have pushed. As you know I myself have
given up on the two state solution because it’s no longer workable. There have been too many Israeli settlements
on Palestinian land and neither the UN or anything we say had caused Israel to
back down or pull out of settlements already there. Trump backed down on the currency thing with
China. Trump backed down on making
Mexico pay for the wall. And of course
Trump completely backed away from both the birther thing with Obama and also
locking Hillary up for her misdeeds.
Many a Republican candidate has stated that on day one of taking office
he was going to repeal Obama Care. That
never happened. And of course the Courts
have had a thing or two to say about the Muslim travel ban, which still hasn’t
gone into effect because new court rulings keep blocking it. There is still no evidence that Trump’s
federal budget for 2017 or2018 is going to take effect. There are still people like Judy who blindly
defend anything Trump does blaning it all on “fake news” by the media or
whatever. I am assuming Trump only has
38% vote of confidence of the American people.
With a number like that you’d think maybe some of these Republican
congressmen would get phone calls demanding some sort of punative action be
taken against Trump even if it’s only a vote of condemnation.
President
Trump is nearing a final decision on whether to withdraw from the Paris climate
agreement, with one White House official saying Wednesday that the president is
leaning toward an exit but three others cautioning that he has not reached a
verdict. The
matter has deeply divided the administration for months. Ivanka Trump and
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have urged the president to remain in the
deal, and White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon and Environmental Protection
Agency Administrator Scott
Pruitt have been pushing for a withdrawal. A withdrawal would put the United States in
the same camp as Nicaragua and Syria: a tiny group of countries refusing to
participate in the almost universally supported Paris climate change agreement. Trump added to the intense speculation about
the future of the agreement Wednesday morning, tweeting that his decision
will be announced “over the next few days.”
There will be ads in the major news papers tomorrow urging Trump not to
withdraw from the Paris accords, which would send the wrong message to the
world.
There was a successful
missile interception shot by the United States today. Such interceptor missiles are only about
fifty fifty in accuracy even now. We
should improve those odds. Back when they had the SCUD missile shoot downs in Gulf War I in 1991 the media led us to believe we could shoot them down at will with the Patriot Missile. We haven't heard about Patriot missiles in the past two decades. The truth is back then our average was only abut forty percent if not less. But the North Koreans can't even launch off a missile without it going down in the Sea of Japan or else exploding or toppling right after it's launched so I don't think we ourselves have anything to worry about yet. It's Seoul and South Korea are the ones that we have to worry about.
It was Wheel of Fortune and
then NCIS. I ate two candy canes from my
red jacket to stave off stomach acid because I was still hungry. I looked for the third candy cane this
morning but it wasn’t there. NCIS ran
till past nine and there was jaded stuff about jury psychology and profiling
which if true causes you to lose faith in the justice system knowing how cynical
the attorneys are about jury psychology and how “We know how each juror is
going to vote even before they have consciously made up their minds
themselves.
YESTERDAY AFTER LUNCH Purlita returned the clothes a little before
one I guess. Though I didn’t know she
had returned them because my basket wasn’t on Bill’s bookcase. I think everything was there. One sock seemed to be missing but then a sock
turned up over my tennis shoes. I
figured I hadn’t put it in the wash but this can’t be because the shoes weren’t
there before. I questioned the few
number of regular shirts but I guess it adds up. I watched “Days of our Lives” and it featured
Maggie and Damos having at it. Damos
found out he’d been sacked as CEO. At
a quarter to two Bill and I were informed that we had to leave right then. I already needed a cigarette and I continued
to crave a cigarette. This time Federico
took us via Cerritos to Walker and then down.
Kennedy High School has some massive new building off to the left like
an auditorium or something that threw me.
We got there maybe ten after two.
We waited in an increasingly packed waiting room. I read a little Time but my nicotine craving
kept me from focusing. Bill was called
in at sixteen minutes to three. These
appointments must be long because a long time passed before I was called in at
nearly ten after three. It was kind of
a replay of the previous appointment. I
asked Dr Nichols whether all of the fresh pimples weren’t a bad sign at this
stage. He didn’t respond. Bill was given a new primary treatment
prescription. I just received the purple
stuff on my butt and the light treatment.
For at least the third time in a row I got a shot in the butt to control
itching. I used the restroom key. I was given a prescription for some ointment,
which I hope helps. There was a bunch of
other paper work. Our next appointment
is also together at 3:15 on Tuesday afternoon.
I told them Tuesday afternoons were a bad time and got no response. We returned home by the same route we took
there. Dr Saran will no longer be
working here. Federico will go on
vacation on June 15th. It was
ten to four when we got here. Luck
shone on me because I saw Larry in the hall and he lent me a cigarette- - - a
whole cigarette. I
now realized I was so hungry I was about to pass out. Fortunately we were served our plate
promptly. It was a chicken breast with
some sort of spices on it. There was
buttered asparagus and those roast potato wedge cuts. I got three more wedge cuts from Kathy. We had butterscotch pudding for dessert in a
small portion. Then luck shone on me
again. On impulse I asked Glenda if I
could have coffee and she agreed. But I
knocked on her door and there was no answer.
Then I went down to Chris’s room and knocked there. I asked the other guy if Glenda was there and
it turned out she was and she’d forgotten.
She accompanied me down to her room where I got my nice strong shot of
instant coffee. I haven’t gotten my
Chase bank statement this month.
