Oops. He did it again.

Donald Trump's 57 most outrageous quotes from his Arizona speech
President Donald Trump went to Arizona on Tuesday night and delivered what has now become a trademark speech: Full of invective, victimhood and fact-free retellings of recent historical events.


How I felt after listening to Trump's Phoenix speech: He wants to start a race war, impose martial law, shoot off a few nukes, then golf.


Trump's Phoenix rally erases any hope he might ever try to help the country or even his base. He cares only to settle scores & hear the roar. - Laurence Tribe

If you thought you wouldn't live long enough to hear a president mock a guy going thru chemo for brain cancer, congratulations. You made it. - Charles P. Pierce







From Yesterday's Emails
Yep, Putin's spreading his propaganda all over. I received a youtube link from a trusted friend concerning the fruit and vegetable shortage. My friend lives in a state that imports most of its fruit and veggies from California and things are expensive or non-existent. 
I watched the video and sent my response. (see below)




Interesting video. I always consider my sources carefully. 
Did you know that news channel -- RT News (Russia Today) -- is funded by Putin? 
The undercurrent of that vid clip was deception and mixed messages. 
The start of the video blamed the lack of funding for single owner farmers and the huge subsidies for corporate farmers. Which I agree with. Hook in. 
Then the woman narrator explained how and why Americans aren't filling the immigrant's farm jobs. Double hook in. 
In the middle of the vid, the woman says the US should subsidize avocado growing instead of importing. Huh? She must love her some avocado toast. Avocados are expensive to grow to begin with, that's why they are so expensive. Hook loosening. 
Then the end of the video says those crazy cattle guys, Hammond and Bundy were getting subsidized to grow fancy cattle for the rich. AND how that is just terrible. But, but, but they are single owner cattlemen. Hook out. 
Putin is running a shrewd campaign to destroy this country from within, and so far it is working.

Save those eclipse glasses

U.S., South Korea start military drills amid 'second war' threats from Pyongyang
The U.S. and South Korea started their annual joint military exercises Monday amid threats from Pyongyang that the drills could spark a “second Korean war.”


I experienced a total eclipse in Tallahassee, Florida in 1970. It was not visible due to thick cloud cover. But as I drove down Tennessee St. as the total eclipse neared, all the street lights came on. That was it.
