Trump Was Willing To Let You Die

The Schloss-Blog notes that during the shutdown, or even without the shutdown, Trump was willing to:

**...leave Americans vulnerable to death by starvation;

**,,,leave Americans vulnerable to death by illness;

**...leave Americans unable to afford healthcare or insurance therefor. In other words, he was willing to kill your fellow Americans. KILL them.

And Democrats who CAVED (oh yes they did) accomplished nothing with the SHUTDOWN. Nothing!

America would've revolted against Republicans when - not if - ultra-food shortages and plague-like illnesses set in (measles are already back). Or people went bankrupt or nearly so to afford healthcare and insurance for it.

Now, after CAVING, Democrats accomplished nothing and we, Americans, are right back where we were when the SHUTDOWN started.

If Democrats don't campaign on Trump's willingness to let Americans starve and not afford insurance, in addition to affordability of life in general, and do it day after day after day, they are idiots.

But CAVING already proved that.

The Schloss-Blog is seeing where news sources are reporting that when Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman visits the White House this week, Trump will press him to finally sign the Abraham Accords, which call for unity and peace between Israel and the Muslim nations around it, particularly Saudi Arabia using its enormous influence in the region to ensure this.

We all know what happened the last time the Saudis were close to signing the document ... in case you forgot, Hamas did not want to see it happen.

And it didn't.

Anyone catch all the ridiculous endings in college football this weekend? A&M's amazing comeback, first time in HISTORY anyone from the SEC came back from a 27-point halftime deficit (it took 287 tries).

Mississippi (I refuse to call 'em Ole Miss), Michigan and USC were among the big-time teams scoring major comeback wins. 

Texas didn't. Ohio State, as usual, didn't need to.

The 12-team playoff is going to have a whole different look this year, with many teams not getting in the field again.

How much is your house worth, especially to a company that writes you home insurance policy? And how is that determined?

Well, in good part, by balloon-carried cameras that supply images to assessors. They're AI-powered, go as high as 40,000 feet and send forth the images these companies need.

Paging Florida.

If you wanna' see some good ole rock 'n' roll, catch Bryan Adams on whatever is left on his current "Roll With The Punches" Tour.

Creative. Legendary. Hit after hit. Even covered "Twist & Shout." Incredible band behind him. 

Special effects resound, including singing along with a music video recorded so early in his career that a lot of people in the Phoenix audience definitely didn't recall it. Or barely recognize him the video.

Adams brought us all back to the "Summer of '69." Well worth it. Check it out. (https://www.facebook.com/reel/1814755872500092)

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Jocelyn. Three great weekends in a row.

Oh yeah, the shutdown is over, so maybe - just maybe - our upcoming flights will not be impacted.

Sh_t, of course they will be.
