Something by Judy about Neil. Her dinner napkin anecdote is amusing.

King Midas in Reverse
Trump, the greatest of all con men, wrecks everything he touches. He’s always been a hopeless disaster who talks big and leaves a big mess.
In less than a year, Trump erased 12 years of solvency for the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A

Trump wants to turn Greenland into his personal Greedland. He lied about Greenland’s people not receiving medical care, and claimed to be sending a hospital ship, the USNS Mercy. “It’s on the way!!!”
Greenland has free medical care, so the strange offer was rejected. At that same time, Denmark was called in to evacuate an American in need of medical attention from a submarine. The sailor was transported to a hospital in Greenland. Ouch.

Making Trump look even more ridiculous, the USNS Mercy isn’t on its way. It’s in dry dock. As someone who is close to me said about this turn of events, “I’m not fond of political theater games that end up backfiring.”

It would be one thing if Trump were merely incompetent. For all of George W. Bush’s limitations, his intentions were, I believe, mostly good. Dick Cheney’s were not.
Trump is an evil, destructive narcissist. I have no sympathy, at all, for anyone who now regrets having voted for him in 2024.
Snowzilla!
The forecast was for a blizzard, and a blizzard we got.
Son of Snowzilla
The coming snow storm has been upgraded to a full-blown, wind-driven blizzard, with 22″ accumulation possible. That’s what Snowzilla Sr. dumped on us.
This weather map shows up to two feet of snow. The temperature is currently just above freezing, increasing the likelihood of heavy, wet snow.
Trump Calls for Bank Regulation … Without Knowing It
The Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s capricious tariffs, so he announces a 10% across-the-board tariff. No, wait. Make that 15%. What will it be tomorrow?
The King of Chaos, who declared business bankruptcy six times, is seething over being “debanked” after January 6, 2021. He should take his case to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Oh, right. He destroyed the CFPB.
Snowman
The winter of 2015 had a late start, but once it got going it was the worst ever. This year’s winter isn’t that bad yet, but since with the 22″ storm we had, it’s been heading in that direction.
Right now there are several inches of super heavy, wet snow to be cleared. The kind of snow that would have had much more accumulation if it hadn’t been so wet. Snow the snowblower can’t handle, so shovels it will be.
Tomorrow’s forecast places me in the 10″-16″ zone. I hope it isn’t the heavy, wet stuff.
Today’s small victory. The heavy, wet snow turned out to be very amenable to the snowblower’s tender mercies.
