I haven’t been here for awhile. The reality show continues. A false Mideast peace is being celebrated. Israel is blamed for everything. Hamas now has a free pass and Qatar will now be a protected haven for terrorists. America is sinking. I pray that China, India and Europe can preserve world order.

NATO is toast. NAFTA is dead. OAS is defunct. What’s next? I predict that the UN is the next domino. And once all these tiles fall, a century of Pax Americana will come to an end. Get ready for the next gathering storm.

And now, we have a tariff war with our biggest trading partner. Canada will easily find other export markets in Asia and Europe. The US construction industry will suffer. A Great Depression happened once before. It can happen again. Batten down the hatches. There will be pain. Thank you MAGA morons.

Two airplane crashes are no coincidence. Our system is broken. Air traffic controllers are demoralized. It is worse than when Reagan fired them. Now the organization is being destroyed. The cause? A misbegotten view of government’s role. It is not our enemy. Chaos is our enemy and chaos is winning.

It is no longer safe to fly in America. There’s a simple reason. Donald Trump. Watch as the American airline industry now tanks.

On a cold and icy day, the earth shook in northern New Jersey. An earthquake jolted folks just west of New York City this afternoon. And our power failed for two minutes. Mother Nature isn’t happy with us. It’s time to hunker down inside the cabin.

Leon’s Nazi salute. Withdrawal from Paris climate accords and World Health Organization. Reversing LGTBQ rights. Ending historic citizenship rules. Rounding up and deporting immigrants. What a dark day for America. Nero and the oligarchs will fiddle while our Rome burns. The shining light is dead.

I am a Polar Bear. Don’t mess with me, especially when I am hungry and hunting. You could be my next yummy lunch.

Oh the weather outside is gonna be frightful. Forecasts are changing by the minute. Governor Phil has declared a state of emergency. It must be the end of days. Hibernation here I come. See you all in the spring. Regardless of what Groudhog Phil does in two weeks.

Today I read over 18,000 emails. Kind of. Had to crash through a 4-year backlog on a former associate’s computer. Gotta wonder what he was doing with all that screen time. OK, I didn’t read them. I just marked them as read. Next step. Need to archive 50,000 emails in his in box. I need a drink.

Highlight of my day. Getting Public Service to fix a street light within 24 hours. Who said that miracles don’t happen?

It snowed. Just a dusting. This winter has been strange. It started off with a bang around Thanksgiving, but it’s been a whimper since then.

Snow came today. A mere dusting. Funny how the south is being buried in the stuff, but up here at Lat 41N Long 74W, we are just getting teased. Mother Nature is pissed at the carbon infestation. With good reason.

It’s the weekend. 10 days to go before the circus comes to town. Meanwhile, my EV is doing just fine. I don’t need dinosaur juice to get from point A to point B.
Jump on the electric bandwagon. The ride is better.

The sky ain’t blue in my area. It’s brown from wildfire smoke. Almost no rain for 40 days. I’m gonna build a reverse ark to save the planet.
