• Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
• Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENT OF THE WEEK
(another update)
John Bolton Releases His Wonderful and Loyal Book
"The Room Where It Happened" is the title, yon descendants, of the book by President Trump's former National Security Advisor.
First off yon descendants I admit now that once upon a time I greatly admired John Bolton. Please note the great picture included as this man makes everyone smile. Bolton was a guest pundit on Fox cable news frequently before Trump appointed him National Security Advisor.
This week, and no doubt yon descendants will be able to pull it off some library shelf and read it, the book was released to all kinds of hoopla.
Bolton had been asked to testify before the House impeachment meeting but he refused, I must suppose so that he would not be found guilty of lying before congress. Which is a hint, I'd argue yon descendants, that he's probably lying a lot in the book.
When he was a pundit on Fox he was very interesting and I even, yon descendants, considered him to be quite handsome.
As of this writing Bolton is being interviewed by a lot of folks, including, insert smile here, a few Fox news hosts.
What I did not know about Bolton when I had my she-crush on the guy was that he loved and adores military battles of any kind and he likes to lie a lot.
For he should have some loyalty to President Trump, as we all should have some loyalty to those who trusted us enough to gives us gainful employment.
Bolton says he is going to vote for Joe Biden this upcoming election in November 2020. This right now shows how very stupid John Bolton is.

MAJOR CULTURE EVENT OF THE WEEK
(one more update)
The Great Wall Built and Reaches 200 miles!
Dear descendants, if by the time you read this you are not living in an America that no longer speaks English and/or are now living in a country living under another flag but the stars and stripes, you could maybe thank President Trump for taking a lot of guff from the opposition party. Said political party, as of this writing known as Democrats, argues that America should be the welcoming country for those who suffer and are mistreated in their birth countries.
Which is true, of course, yon descendants, but there are methods and ways to ask for entry into America and it isn't that you just walk right in with no prior permission.
We call people who do this "illegal immigrants". As of this writing, yon descendants ,there are a million, billion, trillion people on planet earth. America cannot possibly take them all in. Further, we want only the best of the best, given a choice, but we open our arms and welcome those who are mistreated or terrified of the government of the country of their birth.
Also, illegal immigrants do not learn the language as well as those who go fairly through our system. They tend to take low-paying jobs that Americans would work but for a fairer wage.
In other words, yon descendants, President Trump began building a wall between Mexico and the U.S.A. to keep those out who sneak through the woods or across the waters to enter without permission.
This week the wall, condemned by those who don't much love this country, is now 200 miles long as of this writing, yon descendants, and it was a big celebration as President Trump came to view that which DOES prevent illegal trespassing, no matter what the Democrats say.
Here's hoping that by the time you read this yon descendants that a sturdy wall runs the width between America and the countries to our south. Here's hoping yon descendants live in a country where those who follow the rules are welcomed with love and happiness.

The Story of Bubba Wallace
Most likely, yon descendants, you and yours will probably never know, or even hear of, Bubba Wallace.
Bubba Wallace is a NASCAR driver, NASCAR being racing cars in case they don't even have such a thing in your era because of COVID-382.
When I was a kid we often went to what we called "stock car races", which were races involving ordinary drivers driving ordinary cars. NASCAR is more like professional drivers driving fancy souped up cars designed for racing.
Below, from Wikipedia.
Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr.[1] (born October 8, 1993) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 43 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE for Richard Petty Motorsports. Previously, Wallace was signed as a development driver for Joe Gibbs Racing where Wallace competed in the Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 54 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports. He also raced in the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 6 Ford Mustang of Roush Fenway Racing, from 2015 to mid 2017.[2] Wallace is noted for being one of the most successful African American drivers in the history of NASCAR.[3]
This past week Bubba Wallace said he found a noose (that's right.....a NOOSE) in the garage stall where he keeps his racing car. Yon descendants, please look up Jussie Smollet in Google. He too was attacked by strangers who wrapped a noose around his neck.
There have been several other allegations of "nooses" being left in the surround of African Americans.
The significance of these nooses, yon descendants, is that back during the time of slavery, runaway slaves were often hung from tree limbs for daring to run for freedom. The noose icon put in the presence of African Americans is considered not only an insult, but also a sort of threat.
Well it would turn out, yon descendants, that this "noose" Wallace found hanging from his garage door was no such thing but was, rather, a "handle" to use to open the garage door.
I don't suppose it would be such a big deal, perhaps confusion, a mistake. But the whole episode required an FBI investigation and a grand parade given by other drivers on the NASCAR speedway. Also, a whole bunch of apologies.
Only the FBI declared that rope hanging from the garage door was not a noose, it had been there since October of last year (2019) and no evil intent should be deduced.
But did Wallace accept his error?
Yon descendants, anytime an African American professes to find a noose in his or her presence, take it with a HUGE grain of salt.

PERSONAL NOTES FROM ME RE THE PANDEMIC
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)
And so, yon descendants, I got a hold of my hairdresser, a profession that, caused by this pandemic, has become essential, beloved, near and dear to all our hearts. My niece is a hairdresser and so is my sister so I am somewhat familiar with the profession.
The gubmint has closed all the hairdressers lest we pass viruses of various sorts and now it's been four months with no hairdressers allowed to cut hair in the beauty salons of yore.
I look exactly like Matlock.
In fact, all of America is freaking out over haircuts that can't be gotten and we all look like shaggy dogs or, like I said, Matlock.
My hairdresser has her salon in a retirement home and older people are especially susceptible to Covid-19. When I spoke to her, her salon was not yet allowed to re-open but God bless, she offered to come to my house and cut my hair.
My niece, who also has a shop in a nursing home, has been going to peoples' homes to do their hair. MY hairdresser, upon me turning her down to come to my house due to dog, cats and concern over how to place things, offered to allow me to come to HER house for a haircut.
As of this writing I am going to wait until her salon opens up, at which point I might look like Einstein. But trust yon descendants, as of this writing the entire country looks like a bunch of railroad tramps. My advice to descendants, GET A JOB AS A HAIRDRESSER!
You will always be loved.

OVER THE INTERNET
(social media explains so much)
REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)
Penn and Teller Fool Us
Aspiring magicians from all over the world perform their best tricks to try and fool Penn and Teller, the world-famous magician duo. If the two can not guess how the trick was done, the "fooler" gets to be on their Las Vegas magic show.
This show airs on CWTV, in my area on Monday nights.
First, I've always liked Penn and Teller, as an actor. Alyson Hannigan is the on-stage hostess, above in red, and she does a wonderful job.
The idea of this act is to have other magic acts perform in front of them, properly introduced by Hannigan, of course, and see if the other magicians can fool Penn and Teller. Teller never talks and it's part of their schtick.
At any rate, about four acts perform per show and Penn and Teller figure out the secret behind the disappearing cards or reappearing rabbit or whatever magic is then upon.
I am surprised that Penn and Teller are ever fooled at all, but they are.
The most recent show I watched had magicians return, magicians who fooled Penn and Teller not once before, but TWICE before. Penn and Teller are very gracious hosts and they have a secret "magic speak" that they use to tell the magician then being judged how they figured out the trick.
I do not understand magic at all and every magician that ever pulled a rabbit out of a hat will tell you that it's ingrained magician rules that how the tricks are done should never revealed.
And Alyson does a great job as hostess, often being part of a performing magician's act, passing time as Penn and Teller whisper in their chairs their guesses as to how the trick was done, and, of course, in introducing the two starts and all competing magicians.
It's a good show, entertaining, and hey, if you are a magician and can fool the best of the best, which would be Penn and Teller.....then hey, you're good.

EDITORIAL
(My opinion for my descendants)
A War is Being Fought
The United States of America is being invaded, my yon descendants, in this era of the COVID-19 pandemic, now June of 2020 but beginning in the early months of that year.
Once upon a time, yon descendants, countries were invaded and conquered using weapons of war to include guns, tanks, airplanes and bombs.
In this day and age, takeover of the country's media, infiltration of its universities and government positions, election of fraudulent candidates and yes, viruses, are ways to conquer a country. It's cheap, results in relatively little bloodshed, and often those being conquered are not aware.
First, you get the once established and respected media to lie about everything. The people in a country have grown used to the big media outlets, even if dictated by the government like Russia does. The citizens think truth rings out across the airways as it had once been. Establish some rule that journalists should always seek the truth but have them shout lies and the people....well first they believe but you can only fool people for so long.
Establish some mistreated class of people, be it illegal immigrants, perhaps Jews in WWII Germany, and of course, former slaves in America. Contact that mistreated minority and make them mad, have the media repeat the story of found nooses, have the mistreated minority make every blink of an eyeball an insult to them, scare the hell out of the citizens that they are frightened to breathe that they will be called a hate-monger.
Given time, begin tearing down the icons of that country's history, statues, names of buildings, that sort of thing. By that time the citizenry of the country being conquered will shake in fear and will not complain about riots, fires and statues being destroyed.
Finally begin to take over blocks of property in some major, and co-operating area. By this time the citizenry should be so confused they allow this invasion and with the help of a major political party from within the country being conquered, boom, no guns, little bloodshed, take away all prior names and boom, you have conquered a country with no need of concentration camps, nuclear bombs and other nasty stuff.
Oh, and be sure to go after that country's police departments.
Yon descendants, if by the time you read this if you are not living in the United States of CHOP, let us hope that the current America is still around.
But you know what, yon descendants? If they win....if they send nasty viruses to us, if they sneak their citizens in to become part of the spy bureaucracy or pretend to be students....then yon descendants, America got just what it deserved.
I call it survival of the fittest. It's a tall order to infiltrate the media, to spread the right lies. It's not easy to turn an entire group of people within the citizenry to evil-doers who hate this country. It's not easy to keep an eagle eye out for news making events and turn them into major local errors that deserves to be overthrown.
They might win, yon descendants. But bear in mind that the U.S. A. was once a free country to all elements of the citizenry. Police used to come when called. Businesses were not burned down because of an incident that happened thousands of miles away.
But if it is nothing like that when you read this yon descendants, then the fittest won.
Let's hope it's the right ones.
