I forced myself to watch the second “Debate,” although I had rather have been watching a good French mystery.
I longed to see Trump emerge as the populist, the champion of us deplorables, the one who talks like a man rather than a politician. I am inclined to think that if that Trump had emerged (if he indeed exists) he would have clinched his re-election.
One such soup I decided to concoct last week, and may I warn the gentle reader not to try it at home. I began preparing beef stock the day before, and on the following day the confounded recipe kept me in the kitchen from nine in the morning until the dinner guests arrived
Some are saying this is the most consequential election in US history, or at least the in lives of the oldest among us. I’ve heard that for many elections, beginning in 1964, when LBJ’s infamous “Daisy” ad warned Barry Goldwater would blow up the world. After AuH2O lost big and LBJ escalated the Vietnam War in 1965, conservatives bitterly quipped, “They said if I voted for Goldwater, we’d get war. I voted for Goldwater, and we got war.”
I had known Pierre only slightly, and my wife still less, as the acquaintance largely predated her arrival in my life, but it was Pierre on whom the story she told at dinner pivoted. As the guests had been challenged to recount the “oddest” of their experiences, I debuted with the bizarre personal episode posted here last week. And Olga, likewise dredging her memory, came out with the tale of Pierre.
When a scandal like that over Hunter Biden’s laptop surfaces, Americans get a little glimpse of how things really work in Washington, D.C. The Swamp Creatures – whom I have called the Rancid Ruling Elite – are utterly corrupt and just in it for the power and the money. For decades they have run the country into the ground while profiting handsomely.
The other night, at a dinner party, our host asked the guests to recount the oddest experience they had ever had, and I told the story of how I obtained my residence permit. It was a document I did not need because, as a British subject and hence an EC national, I was as legally entitled to live here as any Italian citizen.
If black lives really matter to the BLM movement, what about the lives of the innocent? Since Roe v Wade black babies are five times more likely to be killed in utero than white babies. Is this a concern to BLM movement, and black victims of violent crime are most frequently preyed upon by the very people championed by BLM.
Finally, the American people got to hear a refutation to the Fine People Hoax. That’s where President Trump supposedly said, after the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right Rally, there were “fine people” on both sides – meaning the white supremacists, KKKers and neo-Nazis supposedly were “fine people.”
Health updates are always tedious, especially, in my case, when one is the patient. This should be my last report.
