Crazy Continues Unabated
After returning from a delightful cruise earlier this month to Half Moon Cay, then to Nassau Bahamas, where I could be found sailing and snorkeling and general sun tanning, I return to find the craziness continues unabated. Consider these gems:
TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) has become a recognized mental illness, requiring professional treatment. Shrinks also refer to it as Trump Anxiety Symptoms. Yes, I kid you not. The condition is recognized, and defined:
Urban Dictionary defines Trump Derangement Syndrome as “a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”
Symptoms may include these six, as well as others. The snowflakes are melting, and Dorothy is still in Oz. On the bright side, I wonder if they - the snowflakes - realize what they're experiencing now is what we all went through under the tyrannical eight-year reign of their Kenyan. Karma's a beach, ain't it?
How about the fall in value of two of the most tyrannical oligarchs in the world? Stateside, I guess Facebook users finally are shocked - shocked! - that Facebook isn't really simply a forum for people to keep up with their neighbor's cat, or their classmates' kids or travels overseas. Nope, Marky-Mark sells the most intimate details of Facebook users' existence to anyone on the left with large amounts of cash. Stockholders were not amused as Zuck lied through his teeth to Congress, and are now suing senior Facebook executives for mismanagement. When a industry behemoth like Facebook looses one-quarter of its value in one day, and that's $120 billion, folks, well, something is amiss. Many lefties argue that as a private company, Facebook can do what it wants. Ironically, that's an about-face in political philosophy for those on the left, but that's another argument. Facebook is a public company, and government has the power to regulate and/or break up monopolies, as it has done in the past with Standard Oil for instance. In this case, Congress should both regulate and break up Facebook. And Google. And Twitter.
On the other side of the planet, things are just peachy in Iran. Trump's tariffs and sanctions against Iran has plummeted the value of the Iranian rial to an absurd 100,000 rials to one US dollar. The mullahs scream that they're going to retaliate by using that one nuke they're trying to build. OK, sure. But use it where? On whom? Meanwhile Iranians can't exchange their worthless paper to US dollars fast enough. The banks saw that coming and have stopped it flat out. I guess the mullahs have already run through the billions in US cash that the treasonous Kenyan gave them, pulled directly from the American taxpayers' coffers. Even the low value Iraqi dinar is worth roughly nine hundred times more than the rial. Should the Iranians ever decide to overthrow the ruinous Islamic theocratic mullahs that run the country, Iran could be a welcomed trading partner, and I might add, a valuable ally in the Middle East. But not until.
Venezuela is effectively in the same boat as Iran. Tyrannical socialism has ruined that once viable country into a proverbial third world shit hole. The inflation rate in Venezuela is so high the government has just looped off the zeros on the end. Yeah, that should do it. Talk about mismanagement! Venezuela sits on a sea of oil, but can't utilize that asset, proving once again that socialism fails every time it's tried.
Here at home again, I'm waiting for the mainstream propaganda arm of the Democrat Party to finally report on the real corruption in the government. Specifically to demand the arrest of those central to the Kenyan's reign, known as the Deep State. Charges need to brought against the seriously crazy: Hillary, Obama, Kerry, Holder, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Lerner, and Mueller, And that's just to start.
But for now, I'm not going to hold my breath.
