Something New (Perhaps)


Dr Ben Carson and former candidate for President has come out today and endorsed Donald Trump.  Apparently some interesting thought processes led to this.  Now there are two different Donald Trumps.  There is the cerebral one that you see in person differing from the one on stage.  How could a reserved Black man go for a neo Fascist or whatever.  Trump’s campaign rallies are getting more and like these Brown Shirt rallies you saw in Munich, Germany in the thirties.  Yesterday there were two more beating incidents.  This lady from Britebart (a conservative) got manhandled by a campaign goon and it left a mark on her arm.  And one (black?) man was “sucker punched” by an older man who was recorded as saying “If that guy comes back we might have to kill him”.  Meanwhile there was another Republican debate last night and it was an apparently civil debate that stuck to the issues.  That’s kind of hard to believe.  Apparently Marco Rubio had a good night.  But it would be just like the media to give Rubio a big build-up for next Tuesday’s winner take all contest in Florida because the media wants to see a horse race.  That’s their goal.  A vote for Ted Cruz or John Kasech in Florida is really a vote for Donald Trump.  I’m sure that message has been registered with the voters there.  That Lee senator from Utah endorsed Ted Cruz yesterday and I listened to his speech on C-Span.  So far the tea leaves seem to be pointing to a Ted Cruz nomination.

There is this movie called the “Young Messiah”, which is about Jesus when he was a seven year old boy discovering who he is.  I’m a little confused is to how James Dobson and the whole fundamentalist gang would be endorsing this obviously non Biblical and highly speculative movie?  Just what are these “thoughts” the kid is having that makes him think he’s the messiah?  What did these fawning priests think of him?  What ‘triggered’ their belief he’s the messiah, and how come they abandoned that belief?  Was the kid another “Omen” case of supernatural hocus pocus that impressed them?  Did they entertain the notion that the kid may be consorting with demons?  I guess I would be asking questions myself about, “Well is he going to be a great military warrior”.  Will he be a political figure that will unite to a greater Israel.  Is this boy gifted in some field and super intelligent.  Should we register him in some astronomical school or will he be a great physician who will discover cures to long term diseases that have plagued mankind for centuries.  Will he be a crusader for social justice and lead campaigns to get innocent prisoners of Rom out of jail?  Will he campaign on changing laws like perhaps eliminate the death penalty because it’s too violent?  How are we doing so far on this?  Theologically what does this boy know about “God” that the learned priests don’t know?  Maybe he’s gifted with his hands.  OK, then let’s get him in the carpenter’s guild. 

I listened to a Rand Paul speech in the Senate about the folly of giving fighter jets to Pakistan because we can’t trust then, and he’s absolutely right.  But of course we will.   Bill tried to call Michael about canceling Sunday’s appointment but got his message service.  The Washington’s blog headline only says that Hillary’s E mails were against the law.  We all know that.  But so far we’ve seen no action.  I don’t think the Wall Street community wants to jeopardize the next possible President’s chances.  It went into a lot of legal stuff but ended in saying “It’s Trump rather than Clinton, who doesn’t have friends in high places”.  The author of the post echoed what I just typed, that they’ll let her get away with it. 

Demographically Detroit has really shrunk just like St Louis.  Fifty years ago Detroit had over two million in population.  Today it is down under a million.  That’s a dramatic exodus from the city which will only get worse in the coming years.  Katelyn Jenner has come out in favor of Ted Cruz, which is a little insulting to Cruz.  Katelyn says “I am not gay”.   I have Stephanie back on now and she will be in Santa Fe on March 26th.  On April 16th she will be in Ashville, North Carolina.  Now they just added Miniapolis on Saturday May 7th.  Miniapolis was the final city of the 2014 tour around June 7th of that year before her very long hiatus.  Stephanie is offering a “Whore bag” and some DVD’s of stuff otherwise not available. 

Longtime Beatle producer George Martin died on Tuesday at age ninety.  They had a thing on George Martin on ABC news last night neglecting to tell that he’s died.  There wasn’t much learned about him that we didn’t already know, except he produced Cilla Black, who had the hit with “Step Inside, Love”, a Paul Mc Cartney composition.  I scanned Google News looking at a few articles.  Nothing stands out.  Those Democrats from the Judiciary committee held a press conference on the Capitol grounds- - Chuck Schummer and Dick Derbin and Pat Lahee.   Bill remarked that I haven’t talked to Terry Hill in a while.  The latest news on Bill is the doctor called back and Bill will indeed be going into surgery tomorrow on his knee as originally planned.  I got two cups of iced tea – and was lucky to get it.  Today on Days of our Lives they tied up Chase while Sierra had a chance to torture him but she didn’t take the opportunity.  Then they called Hope and arrested him.  Demas rescued Philip from a sticky situation with that Chicago Police Commander.  Since Demas is now paying him the big bucks I guess he’s not as worried about being disinherited since Victor seems content to burn all bridges to his son and visa versa. 

This is Friday March 11, 2016 after breakfast.  Bill is still here.  He doesn’t go in for his surgery till eleven thirty, which seems like a strange time.  The rain is also delayed.  They say the rain will arrive after lunch.  It’s cloudy now.  We’re all set to “spring forward”.   I guess we’re stuck with the Nancy Reagan funeral today on NBC.   It was already light when I went out back this morning to smoke.  Last night I came across something “hot” in my cigarette almost like a pepper corn or something that caused a burning sensation in my throat.  It freaked me out.  It made me think maybe I better quit smoking.  This morning I decided to go to the bakery for a dollar and a half cup of coffee I drank here and didn’t have to be rushed before breakfast.  I got bored with Fridays with John Fugelsang on Stephanie Miller.  It’s the endless reruns they play during the commercials.  So Bill seeing this wanted me to turn on ABC news.   We had oatmeal for breakfast followed by scrambled eggs and toast and butter and jelly.  Last night at dinner they had the St Patrick’s Day decorations up.  I wondered when they were going to do that.
