FOOLS GOLD

 



"Fool's gold" is a common nickname for pyrite. Pyrite received that nickname because it is worth virtually nothing, but has an appearance that "fools" people into believing that it is gold."

How could so many be fooled by so few? The nation wanted to change, it always does after 8 years of the same administration. 

Trump came along in 2016 offering wealth and prosperity, some people listened and bought the pyrite.

It was never fake news, it was always fake gold.

The tax cut side-stepped the middle class and enriched the one-percenters and corporate America. The trade deals were mired in obfuscation and deceit at the expense of our farmers. Immigration policy was driven by headlines, campaign promises, and border walls, political fodder that ignored human tragedy.

The election wasn't fraudulent, Trump is the fraud, and this time 80 million voters weren't fooled.

The end doesn't justify the means, we need quality and value on both ends of that equation, Joe Biden will deliver both.

Delaying this transition process is an act of personal revenge being perpetrated by a man who suffers from a serious psychosis.   A man who took this job as a last-ditch effort to make Himself Great Again not America. 

We need the transition process and we need it now, if for no other reason than to be ready to distribute millions of doses of vaccine to a nation losing one American every minute to COVID.

We haven't been fooled this time, we went for the gold, not the pyrite!

CHAOS REVISITED

  " a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order." Isn't four years of this enough, seriously? The constant media drumbeat, TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP, dominating the headlines, the news shows, and our conversation. This did not happen by accident, this was a calculated strategy by a certified narcissist. "Narcissism:  a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others." The Trump supporters say that "this is just Trump being Trump" that, my friends, is precisely the problem. Now that he's lost the election and his sycophants in Congress have replaced their horns with silence, if not acceptance, wouldn't you think the man would suck it up, acknowledge the inevitable, exhibit a modicum of humility and devise an exit strategy that would highlight his accomplishments not feed his  addi...

THE LAST HURRAH

https://youtu.be/IJthTSCYJ7g The party's over It's time to call it a day They've burst your pretty balloon And taken the moon away It's time to wind up the masquerade Just make your mind up the piper must be paid The party's over The candles flicker and dim You danced and dreamed through the night It seemed to be right just being with him Now you must wake up, all dreams must end Take off your makeup, the party's over It's all over, my friend

PLEASE GOD, SAY IT ISN'T SO

Pause. Breathe. BY MARIA SHRIVER   It’s okay not to be okay today. I certainly wasn’t okay when I went to bed. I hit the hay way too late. I ate way too much. I bit off my nails. I didn’t have the evening I thought I was going to have. It felt reminiscent of 2016 at times. It was a total roller coaster. (I'm writing this as the election has yet to be called.) I know most of us are waking up feeling confused, sad, angry, bewildered. Most of all just exhausted. We’ve all been through a lot, and while we have been through it together, we have also all gone through it in our own personal way. It’s brought up so much for so many, so go easy today.    Put your hand over your heart. Feel it beating, close your eyes. Breathe.    Honor yourself for making it to this moment. For having made the effort to make your voice heard, even if you didn’t get everything you wanted. Honor the fact that you stepped up. You were a part of history. Think about that.    For me...
