Trump Ruins Another Blog Post
Ugh, this idiot Trump ruined another one of my childish blog posts scheduled for publication tonight. It wasn’t much of a post. It was just a pic of real Trump tweets in chronological order crying about the Russia investigations, Sally Yates and James Clapper. At the end, I added a fake Trump tweet for comic effect. Here it is …

Investigating Sally Yates
This real Trump tweet this morning spurred my investigative side …
Who is this W.H. Council to whom Sally Yates explained this classified information? And so, once again our crack investigative team trumps Fake News and has launched an independent investigation. Our findings so far …

Rubber Trump
Unlike some of my “enhanced” Trump tweets, this one is the real deal …
This is an excellent example of perfect deployment of the “I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you” defense. I would not be surprised if we see a follow-up tweet using the “I know you are, but what am I?” argument.
Aristotle would be so proud.

Tweeting Some Love For Trumpcare
I knew the endorsements for the AHCA/Trumpcare would be coming.
Trump Off To Bed(minster)
Walk, Don’t Run
I participated in a 2 mile Fun Run/Walk today that benefited my youngest child’s school. Now that I am running again, I contemplated running the 2 mile course. Perhaps I could have come in first in the “ancient” age group. However, as I scanned the field of young parents, some of whom are the age of my oldest daughter, I realized that there was a very distinct possibility that I could be passed by a walker as I ran. Rather than risk the embarrassment and ignominy of being passed by a young mother recovering from a recent C-section pushing her new baby in a stroller while leisurely chatting with friends, I walked.
Bad in Bed(minster)
Is it petty of me to be happy about the weather being slightly crappy this weekend for Trump’s stay in Bedminster, NJ?
I hope so.
Unplanned Parenthood
The healthcare bill passed by House Republicans yesterday will defund Planned Parenthood as just one of its many heinous actions. I find it ironic that Republicans want the federal government to pull out of funding Planned Parenthood which is exactly the kind of contraception that millions of Americans would have to go back to without Planned Parenthood.

Music Review #1
My oldest son and his friend offer a music discussion podcast on iTunes these days called Ear Buds. You may enjoy checking out their Ear Buds podcast called “My Dad is not a Twitter Bot.” I think that is a reference to me tweeting all this blog nonsense out. If you do check out Ear Buds, I make a cameo appearance on Ear Buds podcast #3 with a “dad” review of what they consider a song that may appeal to their dads. I wasn’t sure if they wanted me to play it straight or provide a rant about music today not really being music. Well, I really liked the song, so I provided an honest review.
Here’s the song “King of a One Horse Town” from Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys …
Rewriting History
BREAKING NEWS …
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos prepped Donald Trump for his comments today on Andrew Jackson and the Civil War.
BROKEN NEWS …
Betsy DeVos is currently trying to reach out to Frederick Douglass to assist with damage control after Trump commented today on Andrew Jackson and the Civil War.
Un Thing Leads to Another
People are surprised when Donald Trump said today that he would be honored to meet North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m not. There are no Trump properties developed in North Korea, so the market is wide open for hotel, casino and golf resort development. Trump Tower Pyongyang perhaps? Of course he wants to buddy up with Kim Jong Un. And who knows, maybe bankruptcy laws are even more lenient in North Korea than in the USA?
I just hope that Trump isn’t too disappointed when he finds out that this 27 year old North Korean leader named “Kim” isn’t a hot chick. I guess there’s no telling if Trump and Un will ever meet, but we know they at least will be in the same room this fall when they both travel to attend the World Dictator’s Conference in Monte Carlo.
Being Nosey
In honor of Chicago having two first place baseball teams, I am pleased to present my latest tale of personal misfortune and misery with a baseball theme.

Scratching the Surface of Success
Desperate for a huge win in his first 100 days in office, Donald Trump has decided to play tens of thousands of dollars worth of scratch-off lottery tickets on this, his 100th day. Trump has been sending Sean Spicer on lottery ticket runs to every convenient store in the greater DC area. Back at the White House, Kellyanne Conway is putting her nails to good use scratching off the tickets, 10 at a time. So far, Trump’s strategy is working and he is up $134 at the time of this writing, which does make this project one of Trump’s biggest successes in his first 100 days.
