Some here will remember when the primary news thought was "follow the money" .

I have been sleeping in a recliner for six months or so because of acid reflux. I am happy to report that I now have it under control enough by just controlling when I eat that I have been able to sleep in my own bed this week.

I feel free as a child!

And I just noticed the sun has come out, though the temp is in single digits, it still stirs me.

Woooo hoooo!

You got to see the sun? I forgot what it looked like. Haven't seen it here for a while. It's supposed to stop raining Sunday(no pun intended) for a while.

I have been becoming concerned about my vacation rental properties up near Lake Michigan....because of the Pandemic. I just received a nice booking for middle June. A slot I think went unrented last year, so that is very encouraging!

Of course if things get worse folks will no doubt back out.

Paying their bills back home will take precedence over vacationing. Everything is topsy turvy now. There's 100% impact on everything and everyone presently. You might want to think twice about listing that as income.

Trump has become a real problem and liability with this virus outbreak. You have to be absolultly pro active to start with in defeating it. Reactive just does not work. Except at great cost in lives.

He is going to kill a lot of people that think he is god. Many countries leaders have and are proving too little too late. He goes a leap further in again today saying it is totally under control. A congenital liar can buy into their own bull****. Incompetence can trigger it.

As the body count really gets going he may have to be forced to step down. As it will be much,much higher than it should have been.

There seems to be only one government infectious disease employee with the balls to tell the truth. Possibly will get fired or muzzled soon.

You can visably see the stress he is under. By just telling the truth against a self proclaimed expert on the virus. Where is the media in protecting Americans as well?

The other possibility is Trump feels his needs to get re elected are more important that an excess heavy body count of Americans. Either way it is looking pretty bad at this time for Americans. On his watch.

Does the man not have one friend in the world to suggest he clean up his act? Or only subservient boot lickers. Better expression than ass kissers I suppose. He is an unmitigated disaster with this virus issue.

It is not rocket science. In attempts in his flawed mind. Trump tried to reduce damage to the economy. Chances are now it will be multiples of what it could have been. Trump stuck his head in the sand and it remains there.

I suspect Canada will take more drastic actions next week. It is better in the long haul to do it now.

The honest people around him either get fired or they quit. I doubt there is anybody who can tell him the truth when it is not what he wants to hear and remain in his administration.

Good grief! I will say the following as a general observation about people. It is not directed at any one individual. There are none so blind as those who will not see!

I will say this one last time in the event that there is someone here who is not so blinded by Trump being an ass that they can’t see his effectiveness. I don’t like Trump. I don’t like his arrogance, his nastiness toward his opponents, his hairdo, or anything else.

I started working for a small software company in the eighties and I felt about the same way about our founder/owner. How I felt about him personally didn’t cloud my view of his effectiveness. He was honest, fair and had the proper vision. He made a trustworthy, effective leader. He made many great jobs for us and produced products that resulted in good jobs for our customers as well as our vendors and business partners.

Folks, hiring someone for a job is not about finding a wife that you can love. It’s about trustworthiness and effectiveness. Trump has CLEARLY been the most effective president in decades. Yeah, in his personal demeanor he is an ass, but there is no credible evidence of dishonest dealings. Does he require concessions when cutting deals? You betcha! That’s what a competent CEO does. He listens to input and makes decisions based on the input.

Wake up and listen to information from sources other than the dishonest mainstream media. Stop the hate and pay attention to the significant facts and get over the little things that are inconsequential in the big picture.

You guys take care of yourselves and your families and try to open your ears to sounds other than what the dishonest media wants you to hear. I’ll check back in sometime after the Summer and see how everyone is doing. Gonna get in some flying, fishing and family. Meanwhile I will pray for you all.

Indeed.

I really like Dr. Fauci. He seems very straightforward, all business and is willing to stand right next to the president and disagree with him politely.

Yesterday when he was standing on the stage next to the vice president he appeared to be falling asleep while standing. I found myself wondering if he has had any sleep lately.
