  4. Interesting – Sen Feinstein didn’t get her Rat party’s endorsement on Saturday, the California Rat Party endorsed Kevin de Leon instead – he’s younger (there are Galapagos tortoises that aren’t as old as she is) and more lefterer.

    It’s going to be an interesting race, she’s up against a Hispanic state senator and where she has a lot of big-name Rats and buckets of money he has the party’s heart. Let’s see how this growing rift plays out.

    1. I’d like to see them end up like the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat:

      The gingham dog and the calico cat
      Side by side on the table sat;
      ‘T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
      Nor one nor t’ other had slept a wink!
      The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
      Appeared to know as sure as fate
      There was going to be a terrible spat.
      (I wasn’t there; I simply state
      What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)

      The gingham dog went “bow-wow-wow!”
      And the calico cat replied “mee-ow!”
      The air was littered, an hour or so,
      With bits of gingham and calico,
      While the old Dutch clock in the chimney place
      Up with its hands before its face,
      For it always dreaded a family row!
      (Now mind: I’m only telling you
      What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)

      The Chinese plate looked very blue,
      And wailed, “Oh, dear! what shall we do!”
      But the gingham dog and the calico cat
      Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
      Employing every tooth and claw
      In the awfullest way you ever saw –
      And, oh! how the gingham and calico flew!
      (Don’t fancy I exaggerate –
      I got my news from the Chinese plate!)

      Next morning, where the two had sat
      They found no trace of dog or cat;
      And some folks think unto this day
      That burglars stole that pair away!
      But the truth about the cat and pup
      Is this: they ate each other up!
      Now what do you really think of that!
      (The old Dutch clock it told me so,
      And that is how I came to know.)

  5. Another beautiful morning.

    “President Obama thought that Crooked Hillary was going to win the election, so when he was informed by the FBI about Russian Meddling, he said it couldn’t happen, was no big deal, & did NOTHING about it,” Trump tweeted. “When I won it became a big deal and the Rigged Witch Hunt headed by Strzok!”

    A short time later he tweeted: “Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!”

    3. The only thing I do not like about Melania’s fashion is her wearing Michelle’s boob belt so frequently. She should never, ever, in my opinion, wear anything distincly Michelle. The boob belt is passe and so out of date and no amount of Melania wearing it is going to make it fasionable again. It helped Michelle’s shape but distorts Melania’s.

          I remember so well the night his plane went missing…it was a Friday and I was early to the grocery on Saturday. Telling the others standing in line about his plane being way overdue, amazingly enough no one else had heard about it. Everyone was so shocked. To those of us who were adults at the times of JFK’s and RFK’s deaths, it seemed just too much tragedy for one family, I’m sure.

        I posted back that the US had close-in security, the host nation had farther out responsibility and that security had been arranged by both countries (didn’t mention Russian coordination) weeks in advance. Also mentioned that Greenpeace had called the Finnish security and had given them a 10 minutes heads-up that the protest would occur.
        So back comes someone questioning the professionalism and competence of our and the Finnish security team’s response again. Guess there’s one in every crowd.

  20. What Critics Missed About the Trump-Putin Summit

    https://amgreatness.com/2018/07/16/what-critics-missed-about-the-trump-putin-summit/

    To my mind, the chief point was enunciated by Winston Churchill in 1954: “Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war.”

    As President Trump repeatedly put it during his 2016 campaign, it would be a good thing, not a bad thing, to get along better with Russia. Let me stipulate that I think that Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug. He has demonstrated time and again that while you can take the lout out of the KGB, it’s much more difficult to take the KGB out of the lout.

    That said, Russia is a world power that commands an enormous nuclear arsenal. Which means we cannot—or at least we should not—simply take our marbles out of the game and go home in a snit because they do things of which we do not approve…

  21. My poor little doggie. She has another ear infection. It may be inner ear. She started showing some symptoms last Sat. This morning she couldn’t get down the stairs because her sense of balance is all messed up. When I took her out for a walk she stumbled around like she was horribly drunk and kept falling down. Also, she was holding her head cocked to the side all the time. So, I took her to the vet and she definitely has an ear infection. But, one thing I realized was that some of the weird things that happened when she had the ear infection in the other ear were because of the ear infection, not the medicine that she took. Poor thing, she gets very upset if she doesn’t know exactly where I am at all times and she stays within a few feet of me. 😦

    1. Poor doggy! My vet gave me an ear wash to use once a week on my Iggy. It seems to help as she hasn’t had any ear infections since we started her weekly cleaning.
