the general elk season starts today, and winter weather is beginning.
for some reasons my efforts with the guitar, fruitless for 20 odd years, are beginning to, uhm, bear fruit. i don't know why, but, i am starting to figure things out. and, the mickey baker guitar book seems to be the reason.
cardiac rehab classes are going well, i am getting stronger and feeling better, and getting some lost muscle mass back.
what does this have to do with the "trump impeachment" process? well, fucking nothing, when you get right down to it. and, what does the "trump impeachment" "process" have to do with real life? well, fucking nothing, when you get right down to it.
why do the democrats persist? well, you can dismiss it with the observation that they are idiots, entirely disconnected from public opinion, save for the ideological loyalists they call the "party," and which i call the "mini commissariat," those little pockets of socialist twits who think they lead and form public opinion. but, that is too easy and explanation, and ignores the fact that the demos probably are grounded in a more logical assumption, that being that they think that they and the media can smear trump enough to have an impact on the 2020 general election. in other words, they think that they can regain power over the federal government, and cement an institutional control of this country as did fdr in the 40's.
in this regard, the demos may prove that they are not being suicidally idiotic. (my spell checker cannot "decipher" "suicially", but, i am sticking with it.)
in this assumption i think them wrong. in almost all of the "little elections" held all over the country in which this assumption is being put to the test, republicans and conservatives have prevailed. i see no reason why this trend should not continue, and why trump et al should not do well in the 2020 election. in short, it does not seem to me that the public (except the idiot demos and lefties) is much moved by the constant blandishment of the anti trump crowd in the media, and from the darling ding bat left of the hollywood types.
business as per usual, in other words, and no more effective now than in 2016. i don't believe a word the media, talking heads, pundits and twits from pbs speak ... fuck 'em, says i. i could be wrong, but, we'll see.
so, i am sticking to discussing the world as i understand it to work, and to have worked for a long long time. and, to carry on as though these were normal times. so, weather, elk hunting, pretty girls it will be.

p.s. nonetheless, i continue to prepare, both mentally, emotionally and physically for a generalized blood letting, if it should come to that. to that end, lay in powder, brass, component bullets and primers, and hone your shooting and field craft skills. buy quality woolens, good boots and good socks. keep your guns, even though it means open defiance of the "law," which law increasingly reflections the predatory practices of the grasping left, which seeks total rule. stand erect, keep your shoulders squared, look 'em in the eye, and prepare to fight if necessary to preserver our liberties and our beloved democratic political practices.
