Democrats 2023 Gardening For 2024

-

Still U.S. President and First Lady.

Below is an old blog November 9, 2023 about how the Democratic Party watered the pot plants for the Chicago DNC harvest. 

---------------------

Democrats and 2024. They have something up their sleeve. I just need to figure it out. No. I won’t base it on polls. I have a brain and use it as much as I can.

While I’m trying to unravel what they are up to, I’m gonna say this. It will be foolhardy for Democratic Party bricklayers and plumbers to think that one man’s selfie to demolish the Republican Party will make it easier for them to win 2024. They must do some housekeeping and it cannot be anchored on Trump’s selfie because nobody does it better than him.

Housekeeping starts with moving things around, like my mother on a rainy day. Tables are re-arranged although our home was smaller than the vegetable section of some of these mega grocery stores. Mama always found a way. It will be presumptuous for the Democratic Party to think it’s perfect, with no skeletons in the cupboard. There are. Policy skeletons. Campaign skeletons. Age skeletons. Talking about age skeletons, the party took care of that when Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker retired at 82 years old. It turns out it took that long because the Party was still grooming and vetting Hakeem Jeffries.

Joe Biden is younger than Pelosi at 80 but he is still a skeleton in the cupboard. Well! Maybe not the cupboard, but White House. It’s not about Kamala Harris, as some staunch Democrats think. They love Joe but cannot imagine her being U.S. President should anything happen to him. The man is still alive and we cannot think of his demise because of his age. It’s America, and young healthy people can die in supermarket or school mass shootings.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
