AS ANYONE WHO MAY ACTUALLY READ MY POSTS WILL HAVE NOTICED, I HAVEN'T POSTED ANYTHING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I HAD ACTUALLY TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF NOT POSTING ANY THING ANY MORE. THEN TODAY I DECIDED WELL, WHY NOT. So I will post from time to time. But first, a little background.
When I first started this post all those years back, I did so at the encouragement of some of my children. I balked at starting a blog because 1. I figured my life was so boring that no one would be interested in reading about it and 2. Even if they wanted to I considered my life my business and not for public consumption. So when I finally decided to write a blog, I decided to write about my perceptions of the things going on around me in the world. And that mostly turned out to be on politics. But now, the political world is in such a shambles that I just didn't feel like writing about it any more. So, we will see what transpires with this post today and any future posts as we move along.
Say what you want and feel how ever you want to about Donald Trump, brash and crude as he may be, he did have the economy in a good shape, gas prices were down and the border "crisis" was being handled and North Korea had backed down from shooting missiles around the area and making threats of war. Then the pandemic hit and after a time he came up with some money to fund a lot of vaccine research and he supported various companies retooling to make ventilators etc. The economy tanked a bit because of that and he made some rash statements that upset some people and so he lost the election.
Joe Biden came into office and immediately through executive order began undoing every thing Trump had done. He cancelled the pipeline and shutdown oil production in a lot of areas, resulting in the rapid rise of gas prices. He stopped the building of the border wall resulting in a current crisis at the border. Children are coming in at an alarming rate. Towns, including on not so far from where I live, are having a spike in the virus as a result of many of these children and youth coming in already being infected. Will the national news media tell you that? No they won't. But the local news media does.
I will comment on one more item that close for this post. 6 books written by Dr. Seuss have been banned because they were determined to be racist. Maybe they are. I don't really know. But I find it odd that those books can be banned, but the song that is being touted as a great song and the performance of some of the performers on the Grammys as being very disgusting. But that is considered "Art" or something, so that makes it OK. Not to me.
Nuff Said for now.
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
