And So It Begins…

Trump was inaugurated on Monday. And the screaming accusations started immediately. I have a number of friends, people who I know in person and have spent enjoyable time with, who apparently have quietly ramped up their TDS to the n^th degree. It’s disheartening to say the least. I had hopes (slim as those hopes may have been, many of them were already claiming they would flee the country on Sunday) that these friends would at least watch as the revelations of corrupt and incompetent behaviors were unveiled and wait to comment. But, no. They’re all in on the crazy. Starting with Melania’s outfits, Elon’s supposed “Nazi salute,” the executive orders signed by Trump, and on and on.

Government Incompetence and Malice

We all always whinge about government incompetence. It’s an American sport. But there are times when that incompetence becomes deadly. The two examples of absolutely deadly government incompetence are currently staring the U.S. and the world in the face. The abysmal failure of the British parliament to pass a resolution to investigate rape gangs which have been operating for decades under the noses and with the knowledge, and at times, cooperation of law enforcement authorities. The second glaring example are the fires raging through Los Angeles right now. These both are horrifying reminders (or should be) that politicians and bureaucrats are not really in the business of actually being concerned about your wellbeing.

Starting 2025 – We’re Baa-ack!

2025 has started out with a bang, literally. A car bomb in Las Vegas, a truck ramming through crowds on Bourbon Street in NOLA, protests in NYC, another almost subway killing in NYC (victim survived being shoved in front of a train), and other random acts of terror and horror.

Fair warning: This is a bit of a long rant. To quote Frank Costanza: “I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about it!”
