HUGE Pro-Trump Dallas Demonstration Draws Eight Women

The anti-Trump protests all over America, and the World, have been HUGE.

And then I saw this this morning on Facebook, via one of my favorite Texans, which I found amusing and a bit embarrassing.

Embarrassing that even this many Texas women could be found who are so deluded they call themselves "Women for Trump" and applaud Trump's busy first week.

A HUGE demonstration of eight women expressing their opinion that they "...just wish they would give him a chance. Because he's only been in office for one week."

Yeah, that makes sense.

It  took only a week for our most  idiotic president since Millard Fillmore to lead America into Constitutional Crisis territory, so let's give him a chance to do even more idiotic things before we decide that maybe it is time to stand up and say "NO YOU IGNORANT INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT' we won't give you a chance to turn America the Great into America the No Longer Great.

Last night, also on Facebook, I saw and shared the meme you see below...

I like to think if I was a German in 1932 I would have verbalized what I thought about Hitler's shenanigans, and publicly verbalized that I thought him to be an  IGNORANT INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT, among other things I found disturbing about Hitler.

Those hapless Germans did not have anything like the Internet, or Facebook, to share how they felt about the Hitlerian Nazi madness. The World, and America, are not so unfortunate. In 2017 it is relatively easy to organize  a resistance to a dangerous despot, thus a lot more difficult for a Hitler type madman to wreak havoc.

At least I hope that is the case and that I am not being overly optimistic....

Chamberlain, Hitler, Appeasement and an Idiot Named Kevin James

Pet Peeve. Loudmouth know-it-alls who spout clueless nonsense. King George yesterday in Israel made reference to the appeasement of Hitler in 1938. Bush was a tad non-specific on the details, but it sounded like it was a dig at Obama.

Last night on Hardball on MSNBC Chris Matthews had 2 guests, one of whom was a conservative radio yammerer named Kevin James.

Kevin James was really loud with a real loudmouth affect, like he thought the louder he shouted the more his nonsense made sense. He was way too animated which made him seem even stupider.

After a couple minutes of it Chris Matthews had had enough and in one of the more amusing things I've seen of late he asked this Kevin James moron what Neville Chamberlain did in 1938.

It was so obvious this James guy had absolutely no clue as to why the word appeasement and Neville Chamberlain are tied together. He also did not understand that Obama's "talk to our enemies" idea is not what appeasement is.

In other words, Kevin James seems to be yet one more sad example of our need to improve our education system.

How can a grown American not know the history of WWII?

Sadly, I know many, many, many, way too many, don't have a clue about our nation's history. That's how a fear-mongering president can blow way out of proportion a bad problem, that being barbaric, backward terrorists, and cause people to think we are facing the worst enemy we've ever faced.

Today is the best of times compared to the hell that was World War II. There are no Hitlers in today's world who feel they can invade other countries without getting in trouble for it.

The only country that today comes close to Hitlerian Blitzkrieging is the world's sole Hyperpower. There is currently no other nation on earth that would dare launch an invasion and takeover of another country due to the fear that that country might have some dangerous weapons.

So, Obama wants to talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not asking to have a section of Afghanistan returned to Iran. Or a piece of Iraq. If he were, and if Neville Obama were to meet with Ahmadinejad several times, discussing the Iranians demands for more land, and if Neville Obama were to give in to the Iranians demands and agree that the Iranian army could occupy the disputed territories, that would be appeasement.

Barack Obama has not said or done anything remotely reflective of appeasement. The United States has a long history of talking to and negotiating with our enemies. We were talking to the Japanese even as bombs began to fall on Pearl Harbor.

A couple weeks ago I finished the longest book I've ever read. John Tolan's biography of Adolf Hiter. It is considered the definitive Hitler biography. I know more now about Hitler than I ever cared to know. I was somehow going to mix into this appeasement missive how America's conquering of the Indians was one of Hitler's inspirations.

I'll save that for another day. In the meantime watch this YouTube video of yesterday's Chris Matthews Smackdown of a foolish tool.

Done Teetotaling

I'd been having insomnia problems. Really really bad insomnia problems. I decided this might be being caused by my drinking problem. So, I've made the decision to quit teetotaling. I've been off the stuff for 2 days now and the insomnia problem seems to be much much better.

Long ago I stopped drinking any coffee in the afternoon. For years I had to have a cup around 4pm. But then something happened to my metabolism, or maybe I just was nervously suffering from more stress. The problem did seem to arise after I moved to Texas. If I didn't have the afternoon coffee I'd develop a coffee withdrawal headache. But then one day I did not have my afternoon coffee and I had no headache and I've been coffee free, except for in the morning, ever since.

Back to the ceasing of the teetotaling. For a long time the health benefits of green tea have been touted. How it boosts the immune system, amps up the metabolism, all sorts of supposed benefits.

So, I started drinking green tea in the afternoon. Three bags worth of the stuff. It took me awhile to connect the cause to effect, but after I started drinking the salubrious green tea I started having worse insomnia issues. I knew green tea had some caffeine in it, but I didn't think it was a significant amount. Not nearly as much as coffee. Or so I thought.

And now I've stopped drinking green tea. Cold turkey. No withdrawal symptoms at all. And I slept really good last night. Except for some very disturbing dreams.

On a related side note, Wikipedia has an interesting list of people, unlike me, who are still teetotalers. George W. Bush is on that list. So is Adolph Hitler. Interesting coincidence that both share in common the teetotaling thing and a bad habit of invading other nations for no good reason.
