Money can't buy happiness but it does pay the bills

 Wondering when Tangerine Man will get around to the economy a major concern of most normal presidents.  Many Americans struggling to keep up with their bills very little in the way of actual savings.  I'm actually relieved when I go to the mailbox and it's nothing but junk mail.  Sometimes I read it.


Yonkers - some of the highest property taxes around yet the City of Gracious Living is very slow at fixing the pothole problem.  Other communities have dealt with the ravages of this past overly severe winter but drive around Yonkers and there's still the same craters in the road.  Will City Hall spring for a broken axle?  Does Sidewalk Enforcement need more funding?  Where are the taxes going?  Just asking.


Another puzzlement.  Why are there still Trumpers around?  Those bumper stickers should have come off by now.

  1. Many were puzzled when he won (after his first 4 years) because he was a crude dude that talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. Most are now puzzled why so many think he is wonderful. Go figure. Every thing he touches breaks, just like his cousin Bibi.

  2. Well he ran a different campaign so we put the crudeness aside. Can he make the trains run on time? His few remaining supporters need to explain his greatness. One would at least expect mild disappointment.

  3. Trump the business man. Wants to cut NASA which spent $80 million on the Artemis-2 moon caper, but needs another $ 200 trillion to bomb
    Iran back to the stone age. Progress?

  7. What the heck is the plan? Department - Wipe out Iran until there are no people left, then send people to the moon to start a colony: then deport your detractors (roughly 237,010,152) up there. Send Musk to
    vacant Iran to seek oil.

  8. A two week ceasefire - that is a lifetime, given the trajectory of recent events.

  11. You need an electric car. Plug it into neighbor's outlet, drive free and put a tariff on your Trump bobblehead rider. Nurse Nancy
    recommends Christian Brothers for humans and Fancy Feast for cats. (conspiracy theory87R 'My Cat From Hell' may be replaced by

  14. EPA has rolled back or cancelled dozens of climate change rules.
    So you can burn tires out back, factories can run their toxic waste water into rivers and we can drink mercury if we like. Odd thing, considering that few remaining meteorologists just announced a super El Nino for late Summer with record highs and extended drought west of the Mississippi River. Probably decide to make the world spin backwards next.

  15. Bring back DDT?

    I have a meteorology book at home. I still don't understand it.
