Going to Hell in a Handbasket

 .... and I'm not enjoying the ride. 

FFOTUS wants to own Greenland because it's way better than leasing or renting it.  There's a difference between diplomacy and real estate.  Would someone please tell him that he's in The White House and not Trump Tower.  

The DOJ has opened a criminal investigation into the chairman of the Federal Reserve over cost overruns on the renovation of their Washington, DC headquarters.  No one is amused, but Chairman Powell is now on the hook for legal bills in order to defend himself.  Before he was FFOTUS filing a lawsuit was his go-to tactic when he was displeased.  But now he is, unfortunately, in charge of our government, so our tax dollars are being used to screw around with one of the pillars of our republic - the separation of the Federal Reserve from the political process.  Would someone please explain Alexander Hamilton's rationale for this to him. 

Our military deposed another country's president, but left his henchman in charge.  Our Secretary of State and National Security Advisor and I'm-Running-Venezuela guy hasn't been able to articulate a plan for what will happen going forward.  Exxon/Mobil told FFOTUS that Venezuela is un-investable and he responded by threatening to exclude them from any deals going forward.  Would someone tell him that they don't want to be included in those deals anyway.

The EEOC has asked the University of Pennsylvania to identify all the Jews on their campus.  They want membership lists and faculty lists and student rosters and there's no sense of irony in their request.  They say that they are trying to identify anti-Semitism on campus, but they aren't asking for lists of Nazi's or ultra-right organizations or Turning Point USA members.  Think I'm overreacting?  Read this from About the Holocaust

In territory occupied by Nazi Germany or its Axis partners, Jews were identified largely through Jewish community membership lists, individual identity papers, captured census documents and police records, and local intelligence networks.

When I used to worry about them coming for me I was able to push the thought away; I live in America, that won't happen here.  Now, though, I'm not so sure.

I'm afraid to join organized protests; the other side has guns.  

I felt obliged to go back and edit Tuesday's post.  When published, it was possible to read through the blacked out section to the words below.  I don't want my friends injured because I'm blogging.  

This isn't my America.  I want that on the record.
