170122 – Trump/Pence at the CIA

January 22, 2017 by roofingbird

Politico has provided below the text of the speech that was given to the CIA week. I urge you strongly to read it. It isn’t the word salad, I don’t think, of a dementia sufferer, but it is definitely unusual. Pence, on the other hand…a caregiver/enabler. The three points that I could tease out of this, aside from his media hatred, were: he wants a fully operational CIA secret service with few if any restrictions, he thinks we should be able to take over another country’s oil/assets,  because we wouldn’t have ISIS if we had done that in Iraq, and he is really focused on eradicating ISIS. Read it and make up your own mind. To me, this speech was really ominous.

170120-President Trump’s Inauguration Speech

January 20, 2017 by roofingbird

Read it well, these themes of his have endured, so we must expect to see their iteration. Always believe a person who tells who they are, especially when his actions speak so loudly. Here it is, from WAPO:

Questions for Black Friday

January 20, 2017 by roofingbird

Yep.

Desert Beacon

Question One – When might we expect to see Representative Mark Amodei  (R-NV2) hold a town hall meeting to explain to the 22,500 constituents who have health insurance via the Affordable Care Act in his district why repealing the ACA is such a great idea?

Question Two – If the Trumpster Administration shuts down the multi-agency investigation of contacts and ties to the Putin regime, will the beltway media slink off quietly into the night, or will the press pursue the story?

Question Three: Will we have to subscribe to foreign newspapers to find out the results of investigations into collusion between the Trumpster and the Russians?

Question Four – How quickly will Trumpster cabinet members find out that running a government department dealing with real issues affecting real people isn’t fun when reality clashes with their ideological fantasies?

Question Five – Will the Democratic Party get started today planning…

Who Never Lost by Emily Dickinson

November 10, 2016 by roofingbird

Yep. Reblogged from “How My Heart Speaks”.

 

How my heart sings

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Who never lost, are unprepared
A Coronet to find!
Who never thirsted
Flagons, and Cooling Tamarind!

Who never climbed the weary league –
Can such a foot explore
The purple territories
On Pizarro’s shore?

How many Legions overcome –
The Emperor will say?
How many Colors taken
On Revolution Day?

How many Bullets bearest?
Hast Thou the Royal scar?
Angels! Write “Promoted”
On this Soldier’s brow!

161108 – Election Night Oh, what a night!

November 8, 2016 by roofingbird

Facebook is really screwed for me tonight; it won’t let me stay logged in. Maybe it’s just as well. Polls are screwed, the DOW is screwed, NATO has 300,000 on alert, we are screwed. If this goes the way it appears it might, Liberals are going to have to buy guns. Canada won’t let us all in. You all want it, the future of hate, poverty, death and destruction are here. We are the life of Mad Max come real. Goodby Medicare, Social Security, womens  health, ACA, the Supreme Court, National and State parks, child care, home care workers support, student loans, federal minimum wages, public jobs, the environment, clean water, the UN, Estonia. The nature of Trump….the nature of all that is unholy in the Republican party, and the loss of the Fourth Estate; we have left only the shards of ethics, fairness and inclusivity.
