We got a long way to go
I went for a short bike ride this a.m., about 26 miles. To do this I went out to Creve Coeur Park. I went to a lesser used trailhead on River Valley Drive. This particular starting point allows me to do a little warm up within the park. I then go over the Missouri River and drop down on to the Katy Trail. This particular day I rode to and through St. Charles on this rail to trail project, waving to the statue of Lewis & Clark that is between the trail and the Missouri River in Old Town St. Charles.
As I was unloading my bicycle from the back of my pickup truck, I vaguely noticed a black sedan go by. As this road / parking lot dead ends just before the bike path, the car had to turn around and come back. As they passed me the young “lady” in the passenger seat screamed, “TRUMP KICKS ASS.”
I am sure this was in response to several anti-Trump bumper stickers on my back windshield. You can see a picture on my article Ooops…Wrong Digit. I have since added one bumper sticker whose boldest part is Stop The Donald, basically equating our POS POTUS to a sexually transmitted disease. After I put the first set on my truck on 20 January 2017 I was flipped off multiple times. I have not been flipped off for at least 2 years now. In fact, I have had people comment in parking lots, etc. that they agreed with me.
I am not sure it is the smartest thing I could do, place inflammatory political bumper stickers on a valuable possession, but it needs to said. And it needs to be said often. What are you for in these troubled times? I do understand that folks are afraid of antagonizing MAGAs, but we must stop this madness.

Chris from Ohio is a farmer, Trump voter, and lifelong Republican – hear why he will be voting Joe
Mr. Trump, “They whisper about you.”
This is from the Lincoln Project, a GOP group! What scares me is that things like this might just push this paranoid sociopath off the tight rope of sanity he is walking.
Need help understanding black anger???
This is from Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. The whole episode is worth your time, but the last 40 seconds is amazingly powerful. We all need to be thinking about what she is saying and why she is so angry.
Again language alert, but these times call for such language

Steve Schmidt, Republican Strategist, on Trump
Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain’s 2008 campaign for president, said this in an interview on MSNBC, succinct and damning.
“Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And I don’t say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.
“When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don’t use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We’ve never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.
“It’s just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was. A successful businessman. Well, he’s the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he’s brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let’s be clear. This isn’t happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you’re the most likely to die from this disease. We’re the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.”
No need for me to comment.
Keep well.
Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy
I have a correspondent, a fellow reprobate like myself, from the northern hinterlands of Chicago. He sent me the following musings that struck a note with me.
While watching the riot news last night I had a moment of conspiratorial déjà vu. I’ve seen this stuff before. I immediately put my Tin Foil Hat on and began to think back in history. I remember the Civil Rights riots in the 60’s in Watts, Detroit, Newark, Chicago, Philadelphia, and a whole lot of other cities. Those riots and demonstrations, including the Anti-War protests, the Women’s Rights and Gay Rights protests, usually had an element of police crackdown and brutality. They also resulted in a strong push back by whites. In 1968 Richard Nixon used that push back to help him win the White House. Continue reading “Tin Foil Hat Conspiracy”
