Sigh

Wednesday, my "daughter" Yerlin was in a horrible motorcycle accident. A 15 year old boy, without a license hit her.

Her shin was ripped off exposing her bone and damaged her foot. I have a photo but won't post it. I don't want to look at it again. She had the wherewithal to post that photo on Facebook. Millennials.

She had surgery to her leg Wednesday afternoon. An ambulance brought her home yesterday afternoon.

I am taking the day off to spend with her --  with a large pizza in hand.

I hope to post something this weekend as I am quite sure Trump will do or say something too offensive for me not to comment.

Thank you for stopping by,
Lisa

‘I’m Not Going to Tell You Anything’: Trump Refuses to Provide Response to Recent Russian Aggression
During today’s combative press conference in which President Donald Trump announced his new Labor Secretary nominee, the president refused to answer a reporter’s question on how he would respond to recent aggressions by Russia.


My gawd, I suffered through watching Trump's press conference. Is he on drugs? He skipped from one subject to another, was highly defensive and rambled on. He talked more about Hillary than anything else. What's next, him sputtering "Neener neener neener at Hillary?"


"I get great ratings, nuclear war is bad, Hillary is awful, and news is fake if they report on real leaks!"

Trump Is A Sneaky Bastard
A new report suggests that privately, President Donald Trump was stirring the pot with aerospace giants a few days before his inauguration. On Thursday, Bloomberg reported that Trump cold called the Air Force general managing the F-35 jet project, the Pentagon’s largest weapons program and part of a contract with Lockheed Martin, on two separate occasions. Where this becomes newsworthy is that the Dennis Muilenburg, the CEO of Boeing, Lockheed’s rival, was in the room and listening in during one of the two calls.
