Donald Trump is angry at his predecessor, former president Barack Obama, this weekend. He says he discovered (from the digital toilet paper ‘Breitbart,’ apparently) that a FISA court ordered a wire tap of Trump Tower in fall of 2016, and that it continued even though investigators never found anything. He said Obama ordered the wire tap, and that it was outrageous and was a form of McCarthyism. (Good to know that even far right wing white supremacist billionaires can agree that Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s persecution of the American Left in the 1950s was wrong).
Trump is developing an unhealthy and abnormal complex about Obama. He earlier blamed the former president for organizing town hall protests against Republican politicians who seek to abolish the Affordable Care Act, and of orchestrating embarrassing leaks from the Trump White House.
That is, in Trump’s paranoid mind, Michael Flynn was forced off the National Security Council by Obama smearing him as a Russian agent rather than by Flynn’s discussion of sanctions with the Russian ambassador, about which he repeatedly lied. And Little Marco Rubio can’t have a town hall in Florida on health care legislation because . . . you guessed it, that busy, busy Obama.
Yes, disorder and uncertainty abounds.

Perhaps that is a result of the ties Russia has to rich boy. A new Russian resentment sentiment.

Same route again but in the rain for just 47 minutes. The invisible loud cherpers were in two locations; a flock of smaller dark birds; a hawk in the half dead tall evergreen.
@ the Hillside Cafe now and for the first time ever had a pho bowl. Won’t do that often.

Windy today, but tomorrow it’s supposed to be worse. Could have gusts of up to 60 mph. I think the most I’ve seen here at the ranch on our weather station was either 27 mph, or maybe 32 mph. I’m positive about the 27 though.
Nothing much to report, been following politics, as usual. Don’t dare look away these days because no one knows what that monster in the White House will do next. Not even the monster. When I get up in the morning I’m eager to see news, to see what might have happened overnight. Always worried the monster may have tweeted something.
This week we have the accusation of Obama tapping Trump’s wires. *sigh*
