February 2, 2025. LAND OF CONFUSION

CHAOS-CONFUSION-RIDICULOUSNESS. That about sums up the NIGHTMARE of Trump's first few weeks.  Guantanamo Bay--INTERNMENT CAMP--for the WORST CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO ARE HARMING AMERICANS. Okay---so lets dehumanize the immigrants so that ICE can round up THE USUAL SUSPECTS. ICE has been spotted in New London questioning illegals. How do they EVEN know who is legal or illegal. We will probably have to start carrying our papers around--like in Casablanca-- so we don't end up in jail. Pretty soon --they'll be invading schools and ripping kids from their desks to get rid of the bad apples. It's insane. We also have POWER HUNGRY Elon Musk giving the old  Nazi salute---AND PEOPLE CLAPPING. Don't even get me started on eliminating DEI--the Gulf of America or Trump's insane executive order stating that there are only two sexes. Hope voter remorse is kicking in for all the idiots that voted for that horse's ASS. I really need to either bury my head in the sand or read a million good books to get through the next four years. Actually just read a lovely novel by my favorite Irish writer, Niall Williams, called Time of the Child. This gem is the sequel to This is Happiness---my favorite book from 2022. In this novel, it's 1962, in the weeks leading to Christmas--and the rain won't stop. It''s practically a character in the book. One evening after The Fair, young Jude Quinlan finds an abandoned baby in the churchyard. He brings the baby to Doctor Troy, and his daughter, Ronnie, is totally taken with her.  In order to keep the Church and State away--they try to keep the baby a secret but the villagers start to gossip and chaos ensures. Find out what happens with Ronnie, Dr. Troy and baby Noelle when you read this magical story for yourself. I loved being back in Faha--to visit with the rich characters again-- Canon Tom, Father Coffey, Ganga, Doady and all the other quirky people who make up the town are true to their Irish ancestry and made me laugh-out-loud several times.
