Calling All Representatives: Come Back, Come Back, Shane

     Head Stooge of the House was allowed to hold a session today for elected reps, ostensibly to vote on the Senate bill passed Sunday night that possibly could reopen our Federal government after 7 1/2 weeks of shutdown.

      Media types and assorted semi-serious pundits would have one believe the shutdown was over SNAP payments. Others would have you think it was ObamaCare subsidies to extend payments for insurance for continued coverage. Some would suggest that it exemplifies the struggles for control among the branches of our government. And then, some say Trump kept the shutdown in effect to exert even MORE control over everybody and everything in the country. A true autocratic move/thought. We'll see shortly which version will play out. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House will look crisp in his uniform of the day, trying to look competent, trying to please tRUMP, trying to overcome his own shortcomings, desperate to win somebody, anybody's approval. "Oh, MIke, just shut up and get it done. Why torture us anymore than you have already?" Think of all those perverted Republicans who think like you but are also wavering in support of Stumpie-Sleepy Donny.

       A new documentary  is being released to look at the writings of renowned author, George Orwell. Few writers have enjoyed such continued notoriety as Mr. Orwell. Despite his short life and brief career, his thoughts on autocracy and its roots have become significant for their predictions and understanding. Scarily accurate. Watch it.

       Already, the midterm elections of 2026 are becoming the topic of choice among the scribblers and talking heads in standard media outlets. The election of a Socialist in NYC has stirred the juices of most watchers and babblers across the fruited plain. Those types would have you believe that Mamdani's election bodes ill not only for NYC, but for all of us here at home.  Free this, free that, everything free paid for by-TAXES, TAXES,  and more TAXES. Wheeeeee . If NYC is the future, we might have to cut it free. Free at last, free at last. 

      As the lights go out on Wall Street, so will the lights go out in NYC. Maybe NYC will face the truth; maybe not.
