How I Spent My Summer Vacation & Other Musings Upon My Wife’s Return

~ Jim Flanigan

My wife and youngest daughter just spent a week in Denver visiting family and hiking in the mountains as a summer vacation. I spent a week home alone with my 2 college-age children and 2 geriatric dogs as my summer vacation. Guess who drew the short straw on that one? But I tried to make the best of it, and although I am not sure if I made the “best” of it, I think I at least made the “better” of it. Here’s how …

Thank You So Very Mooch

~ Jim Flanigan

I want to thank Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci for his profanity-laced 11 days of service to this great nation.

The New Normal Is Not

~ Jim Flanigan

Wake up! Do not be lulled into accepting as normal what is going on in Washington, DC. We have gone from an Obama nation to an abomination. Reject what we are being fed as the new normal. It is not.  Here is just some of what is being forced upon us as normal that is not.

Rachel Maddow is Smart

~ Jim Flanigan

I watch the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. I like her style. She doesn’t curse. She uses documented facts. She cites sources. She allows viewers to draw their own conclusions. She is very smart and often uses words I have heard before, but may be just a bit hazy on the definition. Tonight she used a word I had never heard before. Never. Tonight she used the word “vituperative.” It is a real word. Look it up. I am glad that I am on Rachel Maddow’s side. Rachel Maddow is very, very smart.

Random Trump Thoughts

~ Jim Flanigan

When Trump was speaking to the Boy Scouts, Trump seemed way too comfortable to me while making a fiery political speech to a crowd of brown-shirted people.

I find it interesting that Trump continually rails against White House “leakers,” but in one of his first TV interviews on Sunday, Trump’s new Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci revealed that Trump himself was the “anonymous” source for one of the leaks Scaramucci was quoting.

Only Donald Trump can make POS Attorney General Jeff Sessions appear to be a pitiable character.

 

 

Repeal … Replace … Repercussions

Someone must have a “Word Of The Day” calendar!

Trump Tweet Repercussions

The problem is that repercussions (repeated concussions per the Mayo Clinic) will not be covered under Trumpcare.

 

More Random Thoughts

~ Jim Flanigan

I have lots of random thoughts. My wife has traditionally been the recipient of most of those when I word vomit up those odd ideas and musings, but she has recently taken to wearing some noise-canceling headphones around the house, not even connected to music. Next in line are my loyal and even disloyal followers, so here we go with more random thoughts …

I always know it is time to cut my toenails when I’m swimming in our pool and get very nervous that I’ll tear our pool liner.

Can I get an explanation for this healthcare explanation?

~ Jim Flanigan

With a Senate healthcare bill vote looming next week, I wanted to make sure I completely understood Donald Trump’s position on pre-existing conditions. I decided to re-read the transcript from the NY Times interview he gave last week. Maybe that would give me some clarity of understanding. Here’s what he had to say.

Made In America Week Ends баснословно

~ Jim Flanigan

WARNING: This is an experimental, interactive post. Read with caution.

This was a great Made In America Week, celebrating the USA’s production capability.  We are grateful for Donald Trump’s contribution to USA production, although that may sound counter-intuitive since just about everything with a Trump name on it such as all of Ivanka’s fashion line and Trump’s golf paraphernalia is made outside the USA, except for those crappy MAGA caps.

And then we have this tweet …

Zumba + Beyoncé = Fun

~ Jim Flanigan

I ran into a follower of this blog yesterday. Yes, you know who you are. It wasn’t awkward like the time I realized that the cashier at the grocery store was the same woman who I had been watching through her blinds doing Zumba. This follower and I have actually known each other for a couple decades now, and I doubt that she will seek a restraining order like old Zumba Hips eventually did.

However, the meeting was still shocking to me.

Shellshocked

~ Jim Flanigan

For some reason, people have compared Senator Mitch McConnell to a turtle. Well yesterday, McConnell was turtling along like usual, waiting for Senator John McCain to get healthy enough to return to the Senate and vote for the Senate’s Trumpcare bill.

Mcconnell as turtle

And then, Twitter happened. Was it a Trump tweet?
