| Daddy, Daughter, Animal Cracker |
This year will mark the half way point
in what I am rapidly come to understand as the Trump experiment. Americans were
so fed up with the politics as usual environment that’s evolved in Washington
that we ended up stepping on a very sharp and rusty nail by electing a complete
maverick and political novice to the most important position in the Western
World. Make no mistake, he is our president, despite the pained and hollow
claims by the left to the contrary. He’s given up on trying to unite the
country and seems to be pandering to the far right in what I believe is a
massive miscalculation.

| Divider in Chief |
He doesn’t miss a chance to insert
himself in any divisive issue, seemingly just so he can be center stage for any
subsequent discussion. Yesterday’s NFL decision on the National Anthem protests
is a perfect example. The NFL owners realizing their brand took a hit from the overhyped
protests came up with some new rules governing that. Instead of letting this
play out the Divider in Chief immediately inserted himself into the controversy
which will only harden both sides of the dispute. We truly exist in a bizarre political
environment right now – two years to go.

| Point of Light Swinging |
Luckily I have some very bright points
of light in my life to overlook the churning morass of idiocy that D.C. has
sunk into. I refuse to take part in the posting of the divisive memes some of my
very liberal and very conservative friends post regularly on Facebook, realizing
many of these memes were created in an nondescript building on a Moscow side street
for the express purpose of dividing us. Better people have tried and felt the
searing regret for awakening the slumbering behemoth a united America represents.
We finally talked with one of those
points of light last night but the FBR wasn’t all that interested in
conversation. She was having a Daddy-Daughter evening since my daughter stayed
in the city after work for a Curbside Gal dinner. The FBR was snuggling with
Wingman but I could tell she missed her mom time. On the upside Daddy rewarded another
successful day at Day Care (nap included) with time at the neighborhood
playground. The FBR literally launched herself out of the doldrums when one of
her friends from the neighborhood showed up at the front door during our call.
We were forgotten in an instant as the FBR immediately transitioned into
hostess role. It was fun to watch.
