military parade....really!?!

 that is what our dictator in training is demanding at this time.  we do not have funds to carry on with healthcare or education but a grand military parade no problem...drop millions on that!

 if he really wanted to enjoy a military parade perhaps he shouldn't have taken all those deferments and instead served.  it's a logistical nightmare in addition to being expensive.  it's unseemly as well.  we are not the sort of nation that needs to parade our military might down main street.

 that wasn't even the only ridiculous moment of the day.  the iitoo is in insane form daily and the GOP still just pretends there is nothing odd.  they finally have power and are so afraid to lose it they are willing to allow a madman to control the nuclear codes and make outlandish requests.

 he also called the Dems not applauding his speech treasonous...his people of course came back with, oh he was just kidding.  we had 2 days of stock market dropping and the state news network and Hannity make the claim that the drop is of course, Obama's fault...

 every day is a parade of foolishness so that we become numb to the insanity that has taken over our nation.  so many things that happen day to day would have been humongous scandals in past POTUS but now...it's just Tuesday.

 he was chanting that he hoped the government shuts down today as well.  he and his racist regime want to do all they can to curtail any immigration, legal or not. 

 the fiscally responsible GOP is not fiscally responsible at all.  they spend like crazy on military, walls and now military parades...screw the tax payers...ss, medicare, education.  oh those are entitlements and only the wealthy are entitled to them. 

 shame on all of them.  history will be brutal on them when this is all done.  fools who have been willing to believe all sorts of tall tales because they  want their way, even if their way is not the way of the majority of citizens..and they are willing to take up arms and kill to get their way. 

 amazing to me that i see comments and even letters to the editor where these fools believe iitoo was literally sent from GOD to make the US great again. this guy?  really? you think GOD sent this guy to save America?  he only cares about himself, his money.  totally ridiculous

 these are a few from the side of the road.

 it snowed so i stayed in town.

 my gut is improving at least. 

 got a few errands run today which was great.  i head back to work again tomorrow night.

 the drive on this day was pretty sweet.

 worked up to a beautiful sunset.

 always so peaceful...happy i live this far away from the insanity that is tearing our nation apart.  of course, the iitoo underling was here today on his way to SK for the Olympics.  stop over at the base. 

 a friend said  the secret service agents had been at the hospital the other day.  she said they looked like Rus mob members.  when Obama had come to visit the secret service agents looked like guys in suits.  we live in a different world. 

 it's very distressing, more distressing that so many support this idiot and his keepers. 

 they are just using him to get as much destruction done as they can before the shit storm happens...they know it's coming.  Nunes is fighting way too hard to not know it's coming.  just trying to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.  their shame will be fully realized.  I've never seen so many members not planning to run again...why is that?  it seems odd.

 they know, they all know.  his base though, still lives in lala land.  believing God has sent this fool to make us some sort of Christian mecca. 

 fear is a terrible thing.  makes fools of people. 

 loved this shot below. the sun just dipping below the horizon....of course, there are still those who believe the world is flat...imagine that. 

 it's a baffling time.  how people can be so disconnected from reality. 

 the rest are sand hill cranes in Fairbanks last summer. 

 love their call. it's pretty cool. 

 do feel a bit like a pulled a muscle under my rib cage.  ibuprofen helped today...may need to repeat that before i crash for the night. 

 am i angry...yes i am.  we have a government that now is supportive of dictatorships across the globe, we are now seen as weak and fickle.  he refused to fight wars but seems hell bent on making wars.  he is racist with a racist agenda.  the rich are protected under current while those who are poor will be victimized more.  the environment will be mined and drilled with few protections.  the birds who cross borders are now no longer protected.  the list goes on and on.  amazing the damage that has happened in such short order. 

 Christianity at this moment is failing itself if these people really believe this man is their salvation...i think they should re-read the bible and the teachings of Christ.  this man has none of the Characteristics of Jesus...

 greed is the downfall of many a society. 

 by the time many wake up and realize what is really happening in our nation, it will be too late. 

 hopefully, the birds will fly.  the seasons will change and the sun will rise again.  nature has a way of absorbing failed cultures.  we are not above destruction.  we are in no way superior to any others who have come before us and were lost.  civilizations come and go, civil wars happen, nations are conquered. 

 we are just pawns in the grand scheme of it all.  waiting to see what those with the money and power will do to us.  all you can do is fight where you can and be true to what you believe is right. 

 most of the time it seems that good wins out, though i heard a quote, i think from Africa, about dictators living long lives. that seems true...

 love to watch the birds fly. 

 a family below

 they gather and wait to travel south.  a 100 year treaty regarding birds migrating was not renewed this year....asses...that is all there is to that.  that is just vindictive. he rules by jealousy and hatred and is petty and vindictive.  no matter how much money or power he gains, he will always be a small human, a cretin. 

thankful for a.  time out walking  b. each day the sun comes up and goes back down c. the dogs love me....some days that is all I have...
