Dear Diary,
On some days, I pretend that the chaos happening in this country and worldwide, is a movie.
That, whenever I want, I can fast- forward to reality and escape this current surreal phase featuring a killer pandemic.
Watching Trump meltdown daily is a damn scary situation knowing the increasing pressure is costing American lives. When Trump said the virus will just "go away like magic" again yesterday, I recalled that same magic thinking (and statement) that he made in March, I was convinced he's overwhelmed.
The con man is getting his ass kicked by COVID-19. He just can't make it go away. No more than he can make the sinking opinion polls suddenly spike up with a grand reopening of the country with surging coronavirus cases.
His total disregard of American lives extends to the military. American veterans are furious and for good reason - Trump committed treason!
He knew there was a bounty placed on the heads of Americans serving in Afghanistan, by Russia but chose to take no action.
Not even a "bad boy" call to Putin whose GRU was working with the Taliban on targeting American servicemen and women.
I read the report that the Pentagon submitted to Congress yesterday. There's no doubt our intelligence agencies have been aware of the controversial bounties since May of 2019.
Trump was also notified, although he's claiming he didn't know anything until a few days ago! A blatant lie as we'll see as more evidence to the contrary unfolds. The "Gang of Eight" is holding a classified briefing today to get to the truth of the matter.
If Trump didn't know something of this magnitude, there must have been numerous breakdowns throughout the intelligence community for over a year. The fact that the bounty story was on a daily briefing report to him is evidence that either...
One - He didn't read his briefing that day - which would be a dereliction of duty. It would also confirm he never reads the vital briefs, and only a good dog and pony show held his limited attention.
Or,
Two - He was aware the Taliban were working with the Russians, but chose not to do anything about it. In other words, treason!
In this crazy world we live in, some people will make excuses for Cadet Bonespurs, and even say he's a great leader. History will document those jerks in his cabinet and appointed positions throughout his corrupt government as enablers of the worst president in American history.
I really wish this was all a movie, and Trump would be stopped before causing any more harm to American lives and to our democracy. Sadly, it's not.
The reality is Americans must all stand up to Trump and his minions on the down ballot when they vote in four months. Until then, he's a clear and present danger to Americans, and the world.
On the Homefront - Medford, Oregon
Ultimatum Given!
Gov. Kate Brown says "Wear masks or businesses may close and schools might not open."
**People planning on flying at Medford Airport have been warned that the main carrier - Alaska - is telling passengers to wear masks, or they'll be banned from flying.
**Coronavirus cases among Oregon children younger than 10 grew fivefold during the month of June, representing the fastest growth rate of new or presumed infections across any age range.
Healthcare experts suspect child daycare centers are a large part of the current spike. Bad news for parents who were just starting to return to work!
Quote for the Day; "The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity." -John F. Kennedy
