Same! I could sleep in, but it’s more exciting getting up just to read the headlines!

Without even opening the video, I think that’s the point.

The reeeeing is all people trying more gaslighting to tell us that we didn’t really want nice agencies stopped, precious; that we should only look at the good grants and not the 99.89% of grift grants; how sad the indigenous people of wherever will be without USAID feeding them, how horrible it will be if all those nice government people don’t have their careers.

This is “the pretending.” The reality is that when wealth (represented by $, but the hard work of productive people) is sent to people who at best squander it uselessly but more often do destructive work to tear apart functioning societies and install division and chaos, stopping isn’t a negative to society but a boon.

This is not a new problem. C.S. Lewis described similar in “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” when his Caspian has to break up corruption and slave trading in the islands:

“Secondly,” said Caspian, “I want to know why you have permitted this abominable and unnatural traffic in slaves to grow up here, contrary to the ancient custom and usage of our dominions.”
“Necessary, unavoidable,” said his Sufficiency. “An essential part of the economic development of the islands, I assure you. Our present burst of prosperity depends on it.”
“What need have you of slaves?” “For export, your Majesty. Sell ‘em to Calormen mostly; and we have other markets. We are a great centre of the trade.”
In other words,” said Caspian, “you don’t need them. Tell me what purpose they serve except to put money into the pockets of such as Pug?”
“Your Majesty’s tender years,” said Gumpas, with what was meant to be a fatherly smile, “hardly make it possible that you should under stand the economic problem involved. I have statistics, I have graphs, I have — “
Tender as my years may be,” said Caspian, “I believe I understand the slave trade from within quite as well as your Sufficiency. And I do not see that it brings into the islands meat or bread or beer or wine or timber or cabbages or books or instruments of music or horses or armour or anything else worth having. But whether it does or not, it must be stopped.”
But that would be putting the clock back,” gasped the governor. “Have you no idea of progress, of development?”
“I have seen them both in an egg,” said Caspian. “We call it Going Bad in Narnia. This trade must stop.”

(by the by, the solution is the same as here; fire all the useless eaters and bring in lean and right-thinking people).

“I wake up every single day, and JUMP out of bed and RUN to the computer to see what amazing thing Trump has done while I was sleeping this time!”

That’s eight hours. A lot can happen!

Hubby naps every afternoon. On day when he woke up he asked if anything had happened in the news.

“Colombia said they’d take their prisoners back.

“Trump shipped the prisoners and then went to play golf.

“Columbia wouldn’t let the plane land.

“Trump told Petro that there would be immediate tariffs and visas would be revoked.

“Petro said he would accept returned citizens.

“Prisoners were shipped back”

Other than that, it’s been pretty quiet.

Gary Varvel’s latest cartoon (Feb. 7) has Charlie Brown on the pitcher’s mound with all of his clothes knocked off (except his shorts) by dozens of baseballs, which represent Trump’s executive orders.
