Can the Brett Cavana Juggernaut be Halted?

This is Thursday morning September 6, 2018 after breakfast.  I was just checking all my books on Watergate in my bookcase.  I guess it’s “The Final Days” that features the story of Nixon walking down the halls talking to pictures of the ex Presidents.   Stephanie Miller today was talking about Donald Trump being afraid to venture into the Oval Office without others because he was afraid the office was haunted with all of the ex Presidents like Johnson and Reagan.  If we believe all of the news stories lately President Trump is having a major mental breakdown and is unable to govern so they have a shadow government of Trump’s aids conspiring to “keep the country going” because Trump just is too detached from the real world.  There was a letter to the New York Times talked about on ABC news that was run as a major print even though the letter was unsigned.  This seems strange to me.  ABC and others have quoted from this letter extensively so the American people know well what is in it.  This is one day after Bob Woodward’s book quoting all of those administration sources such as Mad Dog Mattis and Chief of Staff Kelly, both of which deny the quotes attributed to them.  I don’t know what to think.  I feel like I’m in the twilight zone and we’re all re-living the summer of 1974.  If people wonder why I haven’t been blogging lately it’s because I’m flooded with so much information I don’t know what to make of it.  Part of me thinks “All of this too shall pass” and it will all blow over as so much sound and fury signifying nothing.  I doubt whether any of this has been reported on FOX news.  They have lived in an alternative reality a long time.  Since President Trump is such a cultic figure to people like Shawn Hannity and FOX news- - - no matter how glaring the faults reported they refuse to believe any of it.  They say it’s all Obama’s fault or Hillary’s fault or somebody else.  President Trump believes the New York Times letter or else he wouldn’t have said there is a treasonous conspiracy afoot in his administration.  He says the people involved in the Times letter should resign and I have to agree with that.  Whoever sent that letter should be a patriot and step forward and take the consequences.  Now Trump once again is saying that congress should rewrite the libel laws so people like Bob Wooodward can be thrown in jail or fined or something.  Really the person or persons who wrote the letter should have contacted someone from the Senate Judiciary committee because I think the information would be useful in challenging the President’s authority to even appoint the next Associate Justice.  Of course as you know all of these inside Trump sources report the same thing of general chaos, so it the same report coming from different sources.

The economy is still very strong with record low unemployment and the strongest quarterly growth we've seen in ten years.  This is all good news for President Trump as far as the mid terms are concerned.  This economic rosy outlook may be more instrumental than any book that comes out against the Trump Administration because the president's "base" is the ones that vote.  Seemingly liberals don't go to the polls but the FOX "heartland" news base does.  There is that vast mid-section of the country that is solid red and solid red-neck from Idaho to Nebraska to Wisconsin to Ohio to Tennessee to Florida to Texas.  They may be uneducated but they are the "cachee" and the votes and they are the ones with the influence.  The Koch Brothers see to that.  Trump is afraid that if there are delays in the Cavana hearings the red-state momentum will be halted and people will re-think their republican votes.  And Trump reminds us if the Democrats take over they will opperate swiftly to impeach him and set up their own counter-tide of oppinion.   So the Cavana momentum can't be stopped any more than Obama Care momentum could be stopped.  Because like then, the party in power knows their time is limited to get done what needs to get done even if the majority of Americans oppose what their congress is doing.  

Hurricane Gordon struck the central Gulf coast of Mississippi and Alabama and did damage as far east as Pensicola, Florida.  Now the storm is headed into Arkansas in a relatively straight line as these storms go.  Usually they curve to the right.  On the west coast they curve to the left.  (I guess that makes sense)  Last week one night they said there was severe flooding from Minisota to Maryland and every point in-between.  Meanwhile here on the left coast we have been suffering from a drought.  Last year we got less than five inches of rain here in the LA area.  That's a near record.  It's been dry all over the far west due to global warming and forrest fires have abounded.  

Nowdays you can't even sell tennis shoes without being accused of being political.  I like the way these big corporations now are fighting back against right wig political correctness.  Public oppinion sways big money.  Market forces rule. 

My roommate Bill is having his other eye done today for cateract surgery so he will be seeing perfectly.  I myself have been seeing rainbows around bright lights at night and some have said that signals an onset of glaucoma.  I'll have to have that looked into.  Google doesn't have addresses in green anymore but seems to have reverted back to smaller blue text.
