Seeks Justice for dog deaths
Well I guess I have to give up on my list friend. My good neighbors up and down the road kill my dogs one of my neighbors was hunting with a deer dog in season my white shepherd went to her they killed him. My black mount cur loved that white shepherd. It was funny to watch them dogs. That shepard would get made at Tiger the black mount cur. He would just stalk him walk round and round him with his fur standing up. Tiger wanted just watch him out corner of his eye. He never jumped on him. He loved him after Habo was killed. I could not burry Tiger at home one of my good neighbors shot him. The bullet went in his chest and lodged in his side. He got over that one. He was a big dog. The next time they got him killed and threw him in the crub below the house.
That was bad but the last one was the worst. They took the last thing in the world I had to love to guess it was because I was getting older. I will be 92 if I live to my next birthday. I won’t be able to have another dog. I am old and cripple. I won’t be able to take care of a dog now. It will have to give up on my list friend and cry about it for a very long time. I look out the back window especially if the sun is shining and can see where my black lab laying in sun till it got to hot then he would have to find him a shade. He would dig him a hole and lay in it.
I had to hire someone to fill all the holes he had dug around the house to keep my basement from leaking. Well I have to close now because I cannot see the paper any more and I am crying so hard.
PS Old Gellis found him a girl friend went to visit and got killed.

Trump’s failures are numerous
This was posted on Facebook: Maybe The Reason Grown Adults Are Acting Like Children About President Trump Is Because He Has Acted Like The “Strict Parent” To A Group Of Spoiled, Ignorant, And Entitled “Teenagers” In A Government That Has Been In The Need Of A True Father Figure For A Long
TIME. Hopefully it was sarcasm because it is inconceivable that one could think such insanity. Read John Bolton’s “The Room Where it Happened”, or “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” by Trump’s niece Mary Trump PhD Clinical Psychology revealing “harrowing” revelations of the Trump family--publications unsuccessfully prevented by Trump--or Brian Stelter’s “Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth”. There is also Mary Jordan's news making book about Melania Trump--“The Art of Her Deal”. And Bob Woodward’s “Fear: Trump in the White House”. And Michael Cohen’s “Rage” describing Trump’s racism, lack of knowledge, denial of science, his demand for total loyalty (how many has he fired?) and countless other books written by persons close to and dealing with Trump.
Of course, he won’t be reading any of these--because he cannot read. He has no knowledge of history. He has no knowledge of the workings of government. He disavows science. He is a 78-year-old toddler--unable to abide any criticism, demanding total loyalty, firing any who question his statements or decisions. Retired General Mattis and ex-Secretary of Defense made a recent eloquent statement about Trump’s inadequacies and unfitness to serve as President, The General at West Point eloquently criticized Trump for illegally employing the military to disperse a peaceful protest so as to enable Trump’s photo op at the church--Trump holding a Bible that he has never read.
His statement after the Charlottesville VA protest--”there are good people--ON BOTH SIDES”--(there are no good white supremacists)--unleashed a massive increase in white supremacy hate crimes. His “when the looting begins the shooting begins” added fuel to that situation. He bragged he could shoot anyone on Wall Street and not get arrested. How many women have charged sexual assault against him--resulting in the paying of millions in hush money? He bragged he can get any woman to do anything he wants. He has instigated almost 5,000 lawsuits. How many workers (many of them foreign) were never fully paid for their work on his numerous failed projects because of his numerous bankruptcies? Why is he the only president to NOT divest his business interests into a blind trust? Why did membership fees for his Mar-a-Lago skyrocket after his election? Why is he the only President to refuse to release a financial statement?
WHY is there no outcry that his inner office is occupied by his family? (I guess because Ivanka and Jared and Eric and Don Jr can read.) He averages 16 lies a day. Over a month ago it was estimated that had he dealt with the COVID-19 just 2 1/2 weeks earlier there would have been over 83,000 fewer deaths. The number today is over 200,000. With only 4% of the world’s population the United States has 20% of the deaths, the pandemic is now out of control, and because the virus has now believed to have mutated the long anticipated vaccine may not be as effective. He refuses to wear a mask, has abandoned all recommendations of the CDC (for which incidentally he reduced funding after his election and disbanded its pandemic unit.) And now all hospital data is, by executive decision, to be sent to Trump himself instead of the CDC and current data there has been removed. Is this so that the data can be whatever Trump wants it to be? Duh. Hopefully many people watched the PBS “The Two Washingtons” which compared the preparedness of Washington State and the total unpreparedness of Washington
D.C. for a pandemic. That a pandemic was possible--but when?--was known and addressed internationally. The United States should have been prepared.
Over 125 environmental regulations have been overturned or watered down--including the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Power Plan, the Clear Skies Act. He has turned over vast acres of our National Forests and Monuments to oil and gas interests, reversed decisions affecting our endangered species--mostly by executive decision. “I am the Decider”. And most recently he overturned the regulation signed into law by Nixon requiring public comment before major undertakings can proceed So there will be no more public comment meetings dealing with the local lignite stripmining. His separation of children from their parents attempting to enter the US, caging them like animals, many with no way of reconnecting with their parents, is unconscionable. The border wall he insists on having is the least effective (think 50-foot ladder from Lowe’s) and the most expensive solution to border crossings, and a national embarrassment.
“Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
How many of the 1.9 million displaced Iraqians did we allow in this country after we invaded and destroyed their sovereign country, ostensibly because of nonexistent weapons of mass destruction? (And how many Iraqians did we kill? For oil?)
Trump has pulled out of the Climate Accord, the Iranian Nuclear Agreement, the Open Skies Treaty with Russia, the World Health Organization, does not support NATO. Consequently, he is making the United States an isolationist nation. He uses profanity in his tweets and public statements; calls public leaders, international leaders, journalists, anyone who disagrees with him rude and disrespectful names. (Re: Leaving the G7 in Canada in a huff--reaching into his pocket to find a Starburst candy he throws it at Angela Merkel saying ‘don’t say I never gave you anything’) Is this ‘presidential’? Is this what Americans want as the representative of their country?
The US is losing its preeminent status, Trump their ‘laughing stock’--thinking Finland is part of Russia, not knowing the UK is a nuclear power, thinking Venezuela is part of the United States, not knowing Puerto Rico is an island, wanting to ‘buy’ Greenland or trade Puerto Rico for it, praising the leaders of North Korea, China, Russia, and the Philippines. Let us not forget 100% of the over 1,000 tariffs placed on China are being paid by us. And because farmers suffered hugely losing the sale of their product to China they received huge bailouts.
Does it bother anyone that he paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 1919 and 2020; that in 10 years out of 20 since 2000 he paid NO income taxes? How can anyone who watched the PBS Frontline “Choice: 2020” documenting the lives of Trump and Biden be supportive of Trump? How can anyone support Trump who in the recent presidential debate refused to abide by agreed upon rules, refused to denounce white supremacy, refused to accept the results of the coming election, downplayed the coronavirus for which both he and the First lady now test positive, blames California’s forest management for the wildfires (even though70% are federal land) and threatened reducing federal funding fighting the wildfires because California did not vote for him in 2016. Are people ignorant or just stupid and proud of it?
