Rain driven TRUTH.
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the rain driven, howling winded, raw, rough, rowdy island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this Third Day of April, 2020, Friday, broadcasting LIVE from stormy Ocean Street here in beautiful Historic Hyannis, listening to the grim messages coming from over the airwaves, lo, these incredible current events taking place right NOW all around the world, with America now at the epicenter of this viral pandemic that is taking more lives by the second, depleting life giving recourses, eliminating jobs; creating a ‘new normal’ that may be here for the foreseeable future…
This has turned out to be a partisan pandemic here in the States, for only in this country could we be facing such a once in a life time crisis that will test the souls of men, while politicians fight over their own trivial matters; dealing with a group who care more about scoring a political point than they do about caring for the people they;
claim to represent.
Take Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, poster child for nepotism, indeed, this dim witted, pasty faced, panty waist, fancy boy had the nerve to say yesterday, regarding the dire need for more ventilators all around the country,
“I am not convinced we need more ventilators”.
Who the F do you think you ARE?
Words that will come back to haunt this doomed administration as we go forward into the abyss of uncharted territory.
Not only are we lacking these critical machines to keep people alive, while giving them a fighting chance to come out of this nightmare in one piece, but we are also facing the very real possibility we will be short of medical personnel to meet the continuing sharp uptick of patients who will soon overrun hospitals from New York to the Red Wood Forests…
The naked TRUTH is we have no real leader in the White House, per the president’s insistence that the states take the mantle, the baton, the crown and find all that wacky, crazy, kooky, madcap PPE and such on their own, leaving many a U.S. citizen to simply die alone, twisting in the winds of apathy, arrogance and adult autism.
It is hard to say if the so called men and women in charge in our nation’s Capitol have a brain cloud or that they are willfully ignorant, just letting the chips fall where they may. For after all, who is going to pay the highest cost for this fiasco, this fumble, this folly?
You guessed it!
It shall be the working poor (citizens who live pay check to pay check), small businesses (a huge chunk of our GDP and work force), the weak, the incarcerated, the homeless, the invisible, the elderly, who die needlessly and silently, as this admiration attempts to rebound an economy that will not bounce back for at least three years.
Make no mistake about it folks, when you have a so called Commander-in-Chief deferring judgment and our fate as a nation to a weak, feckless, fearful little boy named Jared,
“Houston, we’ve got a problem.”
Take the canning of captain Brett Crozier, of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier floating out near Guam, whose crew came down with the COVID-19 recently, brings this all home to roost. His flare, a torrid letter to the Secretary of Defense, another clown at the top, spoke to the urgency of the situation, as the Navy dragged it’s feet in not only containment, but mitigation as well, turning a blind eye to it’s own. A haunting image just in today of said captain ‘walking the plank’ if you will, his loyal men and women of the Navy ship cheering him onward and upward, an inspiring moment in U.S Naval history. Instead of offering help, they fired him, a term that seems to be catching on quite well in this horrid Trump era of our deep and sometimes sordid history.
The only group that is ‘coming together’ are the American people at large. Unfortunately, many get their information from bogus media outlets such as FOX NEWS or the radio goblin Rush Limbaugh, towing the line for this president’s empty words and even shallower promises, ‘thinking’, via powerful propaganda programming, the good ‘ole U.S. of A., will be just fine and everything is;
under control.
Whatever the course of this next few months, one thing is for sure. At no ‘time’ in our 240 year history have we had a more uninformed, unfit, uncool leader who resides, when he is not golfing at Mar a Lago in Florida, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. History books will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this man not only failed to act when he could and should have in regard to COVID-19 (testing, testing, testing, tracking, tracking, tracking, PPE, ventilators and the like), causing upwards of 100,000-200,000 deaths, but sent the nation into a deep depression, leaving it vulnerable to outside interests, as we become a third world country with the stars and stripes only a faint memory of the mind…
Let’s hope this humble reporter is wrong.
But, alas, I am not, for this is all going to plan.
A plan by design…
Have a safe, secure, serene week end folks and please keep it tuned to seacapecod.net!
“Same bat time, same bat channel.”
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
