Gaslighting is when someone is trying to drive you mad (as in the movie Gaslight) by repeating lies until you doubt what you know with your own senses to be true.

In 1937, Jorge Luis Borges, the great Argentinian writer, said [and I’m replacing the word ‘German’ with ‘American’],
“I don't know if the world can do without [American] civilization, but I do know that its corruption by the teachings of hatred is a crime."

I used to deliver lunches (Meals on Wheels) to people in my home town’s traditionally black neighborhood. These people weren’t ‘lazy’ or fraudsters. They were elderly, afflicted, and their living conditions were difficult at best. I got to know several of them and went to church with them.

The administration’s attack on USAID is cruel, stupid and costly. The waste and fraud argument holds no water. There may be many good ways to tighten our belts in USAID programs, but there’s no good reason to take away 97% of its workforce.

Dear Gaza, I’ll address Trump’s statement with the seriousness it deserves. China may soon take over and ‘own’ USA. Will we all be relocated to Canada and Mexico? I hope they take us in.

My first post. Typically I'm smiling like an idiot. This is my attempt at a Trump mug shot face.
