They tell me it’s snowing in Florida! What happened to global warming? Did Joe pardon it? He still has a couple of days to start World War III . . .
His parting speech was pretty much ridiculed by both sides. His administration will more than likely take its place as probably the worst in the history of the country. It was recently disclosed that even Chuck Schumer attempted to convince Biden not to run for a second term, knowing that he wasn’t capable of performing his presidential duties. I’ll probably never know who convinced him to choose Kamala Harris as a running mate.
The hearings for Cabinet nominees have been interesting for the most part. Pete Hegseth suffered the most from the senator’s questions and he did very well, I thought. Pam Bondi also took some hits, but responded clearly and decisively to the queries. Senator Adam “pencil neck” Schiff got his head handed to him by Bondi and I especially enjoyed that. (Incidentally, my estimation of voters in his precinct dropped precipitously. How did this creature receive enough votes to win a Senate seat.)
Time is passing. It is now early Saturday evening and it was announced that, due to frigid temps, the inauguration will be held inside. Many supporters expressed frustration after coming from just about everywhere to witness the event. Also pouring in are thousands of protestors shouting and holding signs. I’m aware that these “protestors” are paid to be there; however, their ability to gather by the thousands on short notice stuns me.
Biden’s confusion is becoming more apparent and exposed since the election and the Lame Stream Media’s impending demise. He recently commented on his approval of the Twenty-Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. The problem with that is the fact that the Constitution has only twenty-seven amendments. He apparently was referring to the Equal Rights proposal, which never received the thirty-eighth state approval requirement for an addition to the Constitution. He also denied signing another bill, even after it was proven that he did.
Time is again passing. It is now Sunday evening, just hours before Trump is sworn in. The excitement is palpable and I have it on pretty good authority that the decision to move the event indoors had more to do with Trump’s safety than the outdoor temperature; however, that’s speculation on my part as there have already been two attempts on his life.
Meanwhile, California continues to smolder. Insurance companies, primarily State Farm, have been in the spotlight. I’m sure that you are aware that California legislators limited the amount of premium increases insurers could assess some time ago. Said carriers specializing in home insurance began bailing out of the California market in droves and many homeowners had their coverage terminated prior to the fires. I’m glad I don’t live in that state.
Well, it is now official. We have a new president! I didn’t get to watch the event as it was happening, but it apparently went very smoothly. He is now in the process of signing executive orders, among them, the closing of the southern border with the assistance of the military and pardoning the January 6th victims. It is going to be a very interesting couple of months, especially for those who await Trump’s wrath.
On a personal note, I just noticed that I was discharged from the army sixty years ago today. It occurred at Fort Hamilton, New York after a rather rough ocean voyage from Germany. The clerk handling the discharge giggled because my birthday was just two days away and told me that I was getting a nice birthday present in the form of the discharge. I agreed!
It’s been bitterly cold here. The current daytime temperature is two degrees! It’s at times like this that I think about my years in Arizona. I miss it, but I would miss Deena a hundred times more! She’s the light of my life. As long as she’s with me, I can handle anything.
