Thank You President Trump – And Farewell To Our Blonde Gator

Is there even one serious American who really thinks it a good idea to allow psychotic religious fanatics to get their hands on nuclear weapons? Who could be in favor of allowing a brutal, repressive, authoritarian regime that has professed “death to America” for decades to obtain annihilistic weapons? The Democrats have been seeing Nazis all over this country for years but when they get a chance to eliminate a real 21st century Nazi they decline, choosing instead to condemn Trump – for wanting to eliminate a 21st century Nazi.

Their TDS is either the result of or caused by an inability to think rationally. As Don Surber noted “anything the commander-in-chief does is illegal, dangerous, unconstitutional and eventually, grounds for impeachment.” TDS should be listed in the DSM as a major mental disorder.

Continued negotiations with Iran’s brutal, ideologically driven theocracy, a regime that suppresses dissent, supports worldwide terrorism, tortures and executes its own citizens won’t result in peace. They don’t want peace, they want death to Israel and America. The 48th year of the conflict will not change that. And who beside the USA can change that?  If not us, who? If not now, when?

May God bless President Donald J. Trump for excising this malignancy.

Tribute to our Blonde Gator

To say that Blonde Gator’s death has hit me hard is an understatement. What can I say about this exceptional woman who graced our lives with her comments and observations for so many years? She was a force of nature unto herself: intelligent, witty, snarky, and fun. She did not suffer fools gladly, which made her a perfect moderator at Newsbuster’s.

She retained her positive approach to life even in the face of daunting health and life challenges for both her and her beloved Blake. How she navigated through the last 2 years with such good humor and grace is beyond me. Such courage, fortitude and resilience in the face of adversity was nothing short of aspirational. She was the very embodiment of the American can-and-will-do spirit. As I said, a true force to be reckoned with.

We’ll miss the tales about Blonde Mom with her Thunderbird, BG’s crazy trips through Costa Rica, her management time at the mob connected waste company, the marathon cooking sessions of green chili, tamales and homemade sausage with her trusty Kitchen Aide, the crazy kitty tales – especially that one special one that showed up on her porch one Christmas Eve and stayed a lifetime. She entertained and enlightened us for years with her interests and experiences which stretched from deep sea fishing to orchids and everything in between. She lived a very full life.

You will be deeply missed by all your friends here Jacque. May you now rest in peace in the arms of the Lord, reunited with your beloved Blonde Mom and little sister.

As the years tick on we continue to lose so many of our MOTI.  Some that immediately come to mind: Bunny, Lost in Younkers, Claire, Della Street aka NotMySocks, Janet the Elder, Succotash,, Muskrat, Longknife, Karla, Rocket Ride,  Jettie and now Blonde Gator. I’m sure there are others too that slip my unreliable mind, as well as those who have just disappeared without a trace like Boo and Greenspots. We don’t know where they are or what’s happened to them but they’re all remembered here and are deeply missed.

Till we meet again
