President Trump Declares State of Emergency

President Trump was scheduled to declare a state of emergency today as soon as he signs the budget bill that he is “unhappy” with, with the blessings of Mitch Mc Connell.  Of course the democrats would pull a fast one and declare a state of emergency on climate control or these floods or else the rampant gun violence or maybe even declare a health care emergency.   I guess what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.  Trump only got 1.3 billion on the border wall when he could have had 1.6 million before Christmas because Senator Mc Connell was all set to vote out a bill like that.   This translates to 55 miles of the wall verses over 200 miles of the wall at 5.6 million. 

This is Tuesday February 12, 2019, which used to be Lincoln’s Birthday.  On KNBC news they are announcing the banning of all furs city-wide in Los Angeles.  I don’t agree with their decision.  I believe we should let the popular market decide.  I had on C-Span and it was a bunch of Republican senators talking about this apparent budget deal with the president for keeping the government open.  They are spending 1.4 million on the wall they are calling “fencing”.  President Trump is not happy but appears to be undecided whether he’ll sign this joint bill between the House and the Senate.  After this it was Norman Goldman for that hour.  At the bottom of the hour break I went out for a cigarette. 

.  There is still not the vaguest hint of when Special Prosecutor Muller is going to hand down his indictments.  Like I say, I’m beginning to think that is never going to happen.  By this time in 1975 people were talking about the collapse of the allies in Viet Nam and the final and total defeat for the US with the loss of the government.  Nobody was thinking about Watergate.  This scandal has gone on for nearly three years and that’s too long not to do anything about it.  Knowing how indictments and a final report would shut the right wing up for good you would think Muller would hurry the report just so he doesn’t allow more passage of time for the public to lose interest in the whole thing, which I’m suspecting they already have.  The whole scandal thing is turning into nothing more than a vague pipe dream by now.  The Minnesota lady senator declared her candidacy in a show storm. 

Obviously it rained last night and I couldn’t sit down.  I came in and laid down after making instant coffee.  I turned on Joel Olsteen at five thirty.  He threw everything in the book into his sermon today talking about the promises and blessings of God.  One thing he said that stood out was “Don’t debate it; just accept and believe it”.   Most of us can’t do that.  I am by nature a debater.  I’m a man of reason.  I decided not to turn on any conspiracy stuff on KFI.  I don’t dismiss something just because I’ll be accused of being “one of these conspiracy freaks”.   But you have to have facts and with the 9 – 11 conspiracy you have all sorts of “facts” that cannot be denied.  At six I continued to have KNXT news a few more minutes till I turned it to KABC. 

Well, that isn't much for a whole week's worth of news.  I haven't been very creative lately.
